Answer:

The new number would have to be 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mean you add all numbers and divide by how many numbers you added together. In this case you would add 3, 5, 7, and 9 and divide by 4 to get 6. If the median of the cards is still six you could multiply 6 and 5 because you have 5 numbers. Then subtract 9, 7, 5, and 3 which will give you six.

Jessica is 5 years older than her sister Jenna. Jenna tells her sister that in 5 years, she will be as old as Jessica was 5 year
emmasim [6.3K]
                          Jenna's age                   Jessica's age

today                         x                               x + 5


in 5 years                 x+5 

5 years ago                                                   x + 5 - 5


Equality                  x + 5 = x + 5 - 5

=> x + 5 = x


The equation is x + 5 = x


That equation has not any solution, because it reduces to 5 = 0, which is an absurd.


So, the conclusion is that information given by Jenna is wrong.


It is logical: if the difference of the ages is 5, in five years Jenna will have 10 years more than what her sister had 5 years ago, no 5 as she told Jessica.

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x^2 + 12x – 7?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

x1=\frac{-2+\sqrt{26/3}}{2}

x2=\frac{-2-\sqrt{26/3} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros of the quadratic function f(x)=6x^2 + 12x – 7 we need to factorize the polynomial.

To do so, we need to use the quadratic formula, which states that the solution to any equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is:

x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

So, the first thing we're going to do is divide the whole function by 6:

6x^2 + 12x – 7 = 0 -> x^2 + 2x - 7/6

This step is optional, but it makes things quite easier.

Then we using the quadratic formula, where:

a=1, b= 2, c = -7/6.

Then:

x=\frac{-2±\sqrt{2^{2}-4(1)(-7/6)}}{2}

x=\frac{-2±\sqrt{4 +14/3}}{2}

x=\frac{-2±\sqrt{26/3}}{2}

So the zeros are:

x1=\frac{-2+\sqrt{26/3}}{2}

x2=\frac{-2-\sqrt{26/3}}{2}

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with
cupoosta [38]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the base of the pyramid, which is a regular hexagon. You can see that there is a right triangle.

The area of the triangle can be calculated with this formula:

A_t=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can say that the apothem is the height of the right triangle, then, you need to find the base applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

(2x)^2=(x\sqrt{3})^2+b^2\\\\b=\sqrt{(2x)^2-(x\sqrt{3})^2} \\\\b=\sqrt{4x^2-3x^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{x^2}\\\\b=x

Then, the area of the triangle is:

 A_t=\frac{x(x\sqrt{3})}{2}=\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2}

Since the base of the pyramid is a regular hexagon, then you can multiply by 12 the area of the right triangle calculated above, in order to find the area of the hexagon. Then you get:

A_h=12(\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2})=6x^2\sqrt{3}\ units^2

In a school building, there are 8 exterior doors and 12 stairways to enter the second floor. Find a total number of ways to reac
Kazeer [188]
To reach the second floor you would look at all ways to enter to building(8) and multiply it by the number of ways to reach the second floor (12).

8 x 12 = 96 possibilities

Think of it in groups.

1st door and 12 possible sets of steps
2nd door and 12 possible sets of steps
3rd door and 12 possible sets of steps
4th door and 12 possible sets of steps
5th door and ..., etc.....
