Answer:

If there was another dog whose weight was greater than or less than 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 4

When we add 4 to the data set we have:

184 ÷ 16 = 11.5

This changed the median.

12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 28

When we add 28 to the data set we have:

208 ÷ 16 = 13

This also changed the median.

Which equation results from taking the square root of both sides of (x + 9)2 = 25?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

√2.37+ 3 √9 = √5. 3 is the last one

x+9 =+25

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+9)2= 25 This means x= 3.5 and the square root of x = √3.5 = 1.87 square root of 9 x 2 = √18 =4.24

We can also see 18+7 =25

√5.65 √5

this is 25 = 5 so it's the last one.

as 2.37+ 3 √9 = √5. 3

The polynomial x^3-kx^2+kx+2 has a factor of (x-2). What is the value of k?

laiz [17]

$\text{Let}~ f(x) = x^3-kx^2 +kx +2.\\\\\text{If}~ x-2~ \text{is a factor of}~ f(x)~ \text{then,}\\ \\f(2) =0\\\\\implies 2^3-k\cdot 2^2 +2k+2 =0\\\\\implies -4k+2k+8+2=0\\\\\implies 10-2k=0\\\\\implies 2k =10\\\\\implies k= \dfrac{10}2 = 5\\\\\\\text{Hence, the value of k is 5.}$
