what is the difference between the mean and the median of the set ( 3 ,8 ,10 ,15)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You can think of the mean being acually mean because you have to do more work. When solving for the mean you add all the answers together then divide by the amount of numbers you have. For example,  you have the numers (1, 2, 3) add them together (1+2+3) to get 6 then divide by 3 (6/3) to get a mean of two. The median is also fairly easy to remember. You line your numbers up least to greatest, left to right. and mark one off of each side at a time. If you have a even amount of numbers and reach the center, you add the two centers together then divide by to to get the median. If you have an odd amount of numbers, there should be one in the exact center left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean) 3+8+10+15=36, 36/4=9 ANSWER=9

Median) 8+10=18, 18/2=9 ANSWER=9

In the case, the mean and median are the same and depending on context you could choose either method. It also helps that there is no outlyer. If there were on I would recomend finding the median.

What is the complete factorization of the polynomial function over the set of complex numbers?

f(x)=x3−5x2+4x−20



Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^3-5x^2+4x-20=(x-5)(x+2\mathbf{i})(x-2\mathbf{i})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorization of polynomials

Factor:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-5x^2+4x-20[/tex]

There are several techniques to factor polynomials. We'll use algebraic manipulation and common factor:

Separate in groups:

[tex](x^3-5x^2)+(4x-20)[/tex]

Factor out 4 from 4x-20:

[tex]=(x^3-5x^2)+4(x-5)[/tex]

Factor out [tex]x^2[/tex] from [tex]x^3-5x^2[/tex]

[tex]=x^2(x-5)+4(x-5)[/tex]

Factor out x-5:

[tex]=(x-5)(x^2+4)[/tex]

The roots of

[tex]x^2+4=0[/tex]

Are two complex numbers:

[tex]x=2\mathbf{i}, x=-2\mathbf{i}[/tex]

The complete factorization is:

[tex]\boxed{x^3-5x^2+4x-20=(x-5)(x+2\mathbf{i})(x-2\mathbf{i})}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Table C, Table D, Table E

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for tables

Given

[tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Required

Which of the tables is more expensive than the given function

To answer this question, we simply determine the equation of each table and then compare the equation with [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table A:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (1,2.75)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (4,11)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{11 - 2.75}{4 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{8.25}{3}[/tex]

[tex]m = 2.75[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 2.75 = 2.75(b-1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 2.75 = 2.75b-2.75[/tex]

[tex]p = 2.75b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]2.75 < 3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table B:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (1.5,3.75)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (6,15)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{15 - 3.75}{6 - 1.5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{11.25}{4.5}[/tex]

[tex]m = 2.5[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 3.75 = 2.5(b-1.5)[/tex]

[tex]p - 3.75 = 2.5b- 3.75[/tex]

[tex]p = 2.5b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]2.5 < 3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is also less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table C:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (2,7)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (4,14)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{14 - 7}{4 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]m = 3.5[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 7 = 3.5(b - 2)[/tex]

[tex]p - 7 = 3.5b - 7[/tex]

[tex]p = 3.5b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]3.5 > 3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table D:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (2.5,10)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (5,20)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{20 - 10}{5 - 2.5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{10}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]m = 4[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 10 = 4(b - 2.5)[/tex]

[tex]p - 10 = 4b - 10[/tex]

[tex]p = 4b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]4 > 3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table E:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (6, 22.5)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (12,45)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{45 - 22.5}{12 - 6}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{22.5}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m = 3.75[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p - 22.5 = 3.75(b - 6)[/tex]

[tex]p - 22.5 = 3.75b - 22.5[/tex]

[tex]p = 3.75b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]3.75>3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is more expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

Table F:

Consider two corresponding points in the table, we have:

[tex](b_1,p_1) = (7, 21)[/tex]

[tex](b_2,p_2) = (14,42)[/tex]

Determine the slope

[tex]m = \frac{p_2 - p_1}{b_2 - b_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{42 - 21}{14 - 7}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{21}{7}[/tex]

[tex]m = 3[/tex]

The equation is determined as follows:

[tex]p - p_1 = m(b-b_1)[/tex]

[tex]p -21 =3(b -7)[/tex]

[tex]p -21 =3b -21[/tex]

[tex]p = 3b[/tex]

Comparing this equation to [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex], we have that:

[tex]3 < 3.25[/tex]

Hence:

This equation is less expensive than [tex]p = 3.25b[/tex]

22(x + yi) + (28 + 4i) 72 – 62i

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

22(x + yi) + (28 + 4i) = 72 - 62i

By solving this equation further,

22x + 22yi + 28 + 4i = 72 - 62i

(22x + 28) + (22y + 4)i = 72 - 62i

Now both the sides of the equation is in the form of complex number,

By comparing real and imaginary parts given on both the sides,

22x + 28 = 72

22x = 72 - 28

22x = 44

x = 2

22y + 4 = -62

22y = -62 - 4

22y = -66

y = -3

Therefore, x = 2 and y = -3 are the values for which the given equation is true.

How do you know if it is inequality or not w/ fraction?

An equation or an inequality that contains at least one variable is called an open sentence. When you substitute a number for the variable in an open sentence, the resulting statement is either true or false. If the statement is true, the number is a solution to the equation or inequality.

To solve an inequality using the following steps:

1) Eliminate fractions by multiplying all terms by the least common denominator of all fractions.

2) Simplify by combining like terms on each side of the inequality.

3) Add or subtract quantities to obtain the unknown on one side and the numbers on the other.

"Only five minutes until showtime, people!" called Mrs. Kseniya to the crowd of students rushing around backstage. "Great," Nancee muttered under her breath. "I only have a million things to do before then." Her friend Tremina patted her shoulder reassuringly. "The costumes look great, Nan," Tremina told her. "After you finish hemming my skirt, everything will be perfect." "Perfect? Hardly!" exclaimed Nancee. "It takes at least ten minutes for me to hem a skirt, and you are expected on the stage in five minutes." "Three minutes," Sandomir corrected her as he raced past. He and Dmitry were attempting to assemble the backdrop before the curtain rose, and they both looked as stressed as Nancee felt. "Forget it," Nancee said. "I'll just tape the hem on your skirt, and it will have to be good enough. I never should have agreed to design the costumes for this production." "I'm worried about the show, too, but you don't hear me complaining," said Tremina. "It seems to me that your pessimism is more of a problem than our tight deadline." Nancee quickly taped the hem of the costume and thrust it at Tremina, who hurried to get dressed. "Places, everyone," announced Mrs. Kseniya. Tremina began walking toward the stage when the heel of her shoe caught on the taped hem. She tripped and knocked over several of her fellow actors. One of the students fell forward into the backdrop, which then crashed to the floor. The curtain lifted at that moment, and the audience roared with laughter at the disastrous scene. "Maybe I should change careers from actor to comedian," said Tremina as she enjoyed the sound of the audience's laughter. "What a mess," Nancee moaned. "My career in show business is officially over."How does this excerpt contribute to the theme of the passage?"I'm worried about the show, too, but you don't hear me complaining," said Tremina. "It seems to me that your pessimism is more of a problem than our tight deadline."A. It shows that tight deadlines prevent people from expressing their creativity.B. It suggests that a person's attitude can rise above difficult circumstances.C. It expresses the idea that a person's hard work will eventually be rewarded.D. It shows that actors are better at handling stressful circumstances than others.
