Answer: c. x = -3

5(x - 8) = -55

⇔ 5x - 40 = -55

⇔ 5x = -55 + 40 = -15

⇔ x = -15/5

⇔ x = -3

The  area of triangle formed by points of intersection of parabola y=a(x+5)(x−1) with the coordinate axes is 12. Find a if it is
Pie

We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are

(-5,0) and (1,0)

So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle

lets find the length of the base using the distance formula

\sqrt{[(-5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} ]}

the base b=6

We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation

y=a(0+5)(0-1)

y=-5a

so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)

We know that the area of the triangle =

\frac{1}{2} × 6 × (5a) = 12

15a=12

a= \frac{4}{5}

The reacttimes data set has 50 observations of human reaction times to a physical stimulus. The reaction times are named times a
scoundrel [369]

Solution: The formula for mean is:

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}

Where:

\sum x is the sum of given observations

n is the number of observations

\sum x=87.12

n=50

\therefore Mean =\frac{87.12}{50}= 1.74 rounded to two decimal places

To find the median, we need to first arrange the data in ascending order but we are already given the data in ascending order.

Therefore, the median is:

Median=\left(\frac{n+1}{2} \right)^{th} item

                  =\left(\frac{51}{2} \right)^{th} item

                  =25.5^{th} item

                  =1.52+0.5(1.54-1.52)

                  =1.52+0.01

                  =1.53

Therefore, the median = 1.53
