a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
The two dot plots are missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
The mean at the beginning of the school year was 9.5 miles and the mean at the end of the school year was 10.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached image, we are told to compare the means for each plot to the nearest tenth.
Mean = Σx/n
Now, from the image, total number of miles run by the 14 students at the beginning of the school year is;
(1 × 7) + (2 × 8) + (4 × 9) + (4 × 10) + (2 × 11) + (1 × 12) = 133
Mean of miles run at the beginning of the school year = 133/14 = 9.5 miles
Again, from the table, total miles run at the end of the school year = (2 × 8) + (2 × 9) + (4 × 10) + (3 × 11) + (3 × 12) = 143
Mean of miles run at the end of the school year = 143/14 = 10.2 miles
Thus;
The mean at the beginning of the school year was 9.5 miles and the mean at the end of the school year was 10.2 miles
Some of the important "given" information is outside of the photo.
We need to know that the two triangles are similar.
And we need to know that the WHAT ? of angle M is 9/40.
