If R is the midpoint of PS, then PR = RS -- (1)

Also, PR + RS = PS -- (2)

__________________

PR + RS = PS

7x + 23 + 13x - 19 = PS

__________________

Now, PR = PS

7x + 23 = 13x - 19

7x - 13x = -19 - 23

-6x = -42

x = -42/-6

x = 7

__________________

PS = 7x + 23 + 13x - 19

PS = 7(7) + 23 + 13(7) - 19

PS = 49 + 23 + 91 - 19

PS = 144 

Hope it helps!

Marlene is solving a number puzzle involving three rational numbers a, b, and c. Here are her clues:

rusak2 [61]

A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

The outlier of a dataset is a data element that is relatively far from the remaining data elements

99 is an outlier of pet group
See attachment for the parallel box plots

(a) Prove that 99 is an outlier for Pet

We have:

Pets: 58 64 65 68 69 69 69 70 70 72 76 79 85 86 99

$n = 15$

The quartiles positions are:

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}$

$Q_1 = \frac{15 + 1}{4}$

$Q_1 = \frac{16}{4}$

$Q_1 = 4th$

$Q_3 = Q_1 \times 3$

$Q_3 = 4th \times 3$

$Q_3 = 12th$

So, we have:

$Q_1 = 4th$

$Q_3 = 12th$

From the pet group:

The data elements at the 4th and 12th positions are 68 and 79

So, we have:

$Q_1 = 68$

$Q_3= 79$

The lower and upper limits of the outlier are:

$L = Q_1 - 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)$

$U = Q_3 + 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)$

So, we have:

$L = 68 - 1.5 \times (79 - 68)$

$L = 51.5$

$U = 79+ 1.5 \times (79 - 68)$

$U = 95.5$

This means that data below 51.5 or above 95.5 are outliers.

Hence, 99 is an outlier because 99 is greater than 95.5

(b) The parallel box plot

The three groups are:

Pets: 58 64 65 68 69 69 69 70 70 72 76 79 85 86 99

Erlento: 88 80 80 81 92 87 88 81 82 80 87 92 87 80 82

Alone: 62 70 73 75 77 80 84 84 84 87 87 87 90 91 99

Find the sum of 997 + 992 + 987 +...+ 257 +252

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

93,675

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with first term 997, common difference -5, and last term 252.

The number of terms in the sequence (n) can be found from the formula for the n-th term:

an = a1 +d(n -1)

(an -an)/d +1 = n

(252 -997)/(-5) +1 = n = 150

The sum of these terms is the average of the first and last terms, multiplied by the number of terms:

S150 = (997 +252)/2·150 = 93,675

The sequence sum is 93,675.

Which graph best represent the inequality? pictures down below , Thank you all <3

kow [346]

Answer:

y ≤ 3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

when the line is solid with no spaces in between, that automatically rules out A) and C). and the shading is underneath the line so that rules out B) as well. Also, if you look through the line that passes through the Y-axis, you can see that it is on +1 so that automatically tells you that both -1 are out.

Hope this helped you!
