If you would like to know the interquartile range of the new set and the interquartile range of the original set, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>The interquartile range is the difference between the third and the first quartiles.
The original set: </span>69, 70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77, 82
Lower quartile: 72
Upper quartile: 76.25
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76.25 - 72 = <span>4.25
</span>
The new set: <span>70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77
</span>Lower quartile: 72.5
Upper quartile: 76
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76 - 72.5 = 3.5
The correct result would be: T<span>he interquartile range of the new set would be 3.5. The interquartile range of the original set would be more than the new set.</span>

Answer:
Δ ABC and Δ DEF are similar because their corresponding sides are proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional which means the corresponding sides have equal ratios
In the two triangles ABC and DEF
∵ AB = 4 units
∵ DE = 2 units
∴ 
∵ BC = 6 units
∵ EF = 3 units
∴ 
∵ CA = 2 units
∵ FD = 1 units
∴ 
∴ 
∵ All the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal
∴ The corresponding sides of the two triangles are proportional
∴ Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF
What a delightful little problem ! (Partly because I could see
right away how to do it, and had the answer in a few minutes,
after a lot of impressive-looking algebra on my scratch-paper.)
Three consecutive integers are . . . x, x+1, and x+2
The smallest two are . . . x and x+1
Their product is . . . . . x(x+1)
5 times the largest one is . . . 5(x+2)
5 less than that is . . . . . . 5(x+2)-5
Now, the conditions of the problem say that <u>x (x + 1) = 5 (x+2) - 5</u>
THAT's the equation we have to solve, to find 'x' .
Eliminate parentheses: x² + x = 5x + 10 - 5
Combine like terms: x² + x = 5x + 5
Subtract 5x from each side: x² - 4x = 5
Subtract 5 from each side: <u>x² - 4x - 5 = 0</u>
You could solve that by factoring it, or use the quadratic equation.
Factored, it says that (x + 1) (x - 5) = 0
From which <em>x = -1</em>
and <em>x = +5</em>
We only want the positive results, so our three consecutive integers are
5, 6, and 7 .
To answer the question, the smallest one is <em><u>5 </u></em>.
<u>Check</u>:
5 x 6 ? = ? (7 x 5) - 5
30 ? = ? (35) - 5
30 = 30
yay !
Answer:
(x + y)² =16
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
(x + y)² = x²+y²+2xy and : x²+y² = 6 xy = 5
(x + y)² = 6+2(5)
(x + y)² =16
