Did your explanation include the following?

Some polynomial equations have complex solutions.

Therefore, complex solutions cannot be found by graphing the related system or function in the Cartesian (x-y) plane.

Polynomial functions with all complex solutions do not have x-intercepts, and the related system of equations will not intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Assuming the following data:

Method A: 18.0, 18.0, 18.0, 20.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 24.0,24.0,25.0,25.0, 25.0,25.0,26.0,26.4

Method B: 18.8, 18.9, 18.9, 19.6, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4,20.5, 21.2. 22.0,22.0, 22.0,22.0,23.6

Method C: 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0,21.0,21.0, 21.0, 21.5,21.5,21.5,21.5,21.6

Method D: 20.0, 20.0, 20.0,-20.0, 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7,20.7, 21.0, 21.1, 21.5, 21.6, 22.1,22.3.

Part a

The sample mean is defined as:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

If we apply this formula for the four methods we got:

$\bar X_A =22.744$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.013$

$\bar X_D =18.306$

Part b

Since the total number of points for each method is 16 and this is an even number we need to calculate the median as the average between the 8th and the 9th position of the data ordered from the smallest to the largest. If we do this we have that:

$Median_A =\frac{23+24}{2}=23.5$

$Median_B =\frac{20.4+20.4}{2}=20.4$

$Median_C =\frac{21+21}{2}=21$

$Median_D =\frac{20.7+20.7}{2}=20.7$

Part c

The trimmed mean by 20% means that we need to calculate removing the 20% from each of the tails, the 20% of 16 is 3.2, so we need to remove 3 observations from both ends of the data like this:

Method A: 20.0, 22.0, 22.0, 22.5, 23.0, 24.0,24.0,25.0,25.0, 25.0

Method B: 19.6, 20.1, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4, 20.4,20.5, 21.2. 22.0,22.0

Method C: 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 21.0, 21.0,21.0,21.0, 21.0, 21.5,21.5

Method D: 20.0 20.2, 20.5, 20.5, 20.7, 20.7,20.7, 21.0, 21.1, 21.5.

If we calculate the mean for each method we got:

$\bar X_A =23.25$

$\bar X_B =20.7$

$\bar X_C =21.04$

$\bar X_D =20.69$

Lynn is making custom bricks. She combines 39 pounds of water and 48 pounds of brick dust in a mixing bucket. She spills 13 poun

ehidna [41]

Lynn mixes 39 pounds of water with 48 pounds of brick dust, so the mixture has a total weight of 39 + 48 = 87 pounds.

13 pounds are spilled during mixing, so she's left with 87 - 13 = 74 pounds to turn into bricks.

7 pounds are needed for 1 brick, so she can make 10 bricks because 7 • 10 = 70 and 7 • 11 = 77, and 70 < 74 < 77.

If she uses the mixture to make 10 bricks, she uses up 70 pounds of it, which leaves 4 pounds to be washed out.

A large ice chest holds 62 liters of water. A smaller chest holds 4/5 as much water

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a large ice chest holds the water = 62 liters

And smaller chest holds the water = $\frac{4}{5}$ of the larger ice chest

= $\frac{4}{5}\times 62$

= $\frac{248}{5}$ liters

Therefore, fraction that represents the amount of ice water in the smaller ice chest will have 0 in the first box, 248 in the numerator and 5 in the denominator.

$0\frac{248}{5}$

What is the result of substituting for y in the bottom equation?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

(A) $x + 3= x^2 + 2x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations:

$y = x + 3\\y= x^2 + 2x-4$

Substitution simply means replacing the variable y in the second equation with its equivalent x+3 from the first equation.

Substitution of y into $y=x^2 + 2x-4$ gives us:

$x + 3= x^2 + 2x-4$

The correct option is A.

A rope is 66 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. What is the length of the

dedylja [7]

So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:

x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22

That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.

Hope I helped!
