Answer:

4(2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24e² - 28e - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(6e² - 7e - 3) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the e² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the e- term.

product = 6 × - 3 = - 18 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 9 and + 2

Use these factors to split the e- term

6e² - 9e + 2e - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3e(2e - 3) + 1 (2e - 3) ← factor out (2e - 3) from each term

= (2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Then

24e² - 28e - 12 = 4(2e - 3)(3e + 1) ← in factored form

Compared to others, which one of the following is not robust to outliers? a) Mean b) Median c) Mode d) 50th percentile

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is not robust.

The presence of an outlier greatly affects the value of a mean.

An example will illustrate this.

Find the mean of the numbers 2 3 5 6 34.

34 is an outlier. The mean = (2+3+5+6+34) / 5 = 10.

Now if we replace the outlier with a number closer to the others:

Say we have 2 3 5 6 8 :

The mean = (2+3+5+6+8) / 5 = 4.8 which is a much truer measure of centrality than 10.

Miguel and Kat are reading the same book. Miguel reads 5 times as many

n200080 [17]

Answer:

$k=\dfrac{m}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kat reads k pages of the book.

Miguel reads 5 times as many pages of the book as Kat. So,

m = 5k ...(1)

Together they read 54 pages. i.e.

m+k = 54 ...(2)

From equation (1),

$k=\dfrac{m}5{}$

Hence, the equation that can be used to find how many pages Kat read is equal to $\dfrac{m}{5}$ .
