Actually,
I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must
there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?"
Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are
smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through
the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
So M=Mabels score
N=Nancys score
P=Phoebes score
M=N+19
P=N-10
p=23 Therefore Nancys Score is 33
Mabel scored 19 more points on her test than Nancy did.
So therefore add N+M = 52
In this problem, there is multiple choice for every question. The trick is to exclude the answer that unlikely true.
To solve this easier, you need to find the distance of AB first. After that try to match the answer coordinate with the midpoint of AB.
1. Answer: Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3
A (-2,-1) and B(-6, -7)The distance between A and B would be:
x= x2-x1 = -6 - (-2)= -4
y= y2-y1 = -7 - (-1)= -6
Since both x and y coordinate of A and B is minus, let's try answer with x and y minus value.
Point C(-3.6, -3.4) divides AB in the ratio 2:3
x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance
x3= -2 + (2/2+3)*(-4)= -3.6
y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance
y3= -1 + (2/2+3)*(-6)= -1 - 12/5= -3.4
2. Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7
A(4,-3) and B(-7,8)
The distance between A and B would be:
x= x2-x1 = -7 - (4)= -11
y= y2-y1 = 8 - (-3)= 11
Since both x and y distance is 11, let's try answer with total ratio 11
Point C(0, 1) divides AB in the ratio 4:7
x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance
x3= 4 + (4/4+7)*(-11)= 4- 4=0
y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance
y3= -3 + (4/4+7)*(11)= -3 +4= 1
3. Answer: Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3
A(3,4) and B(11,12)The distance between A and B would be:
x= x2-x1 = 11 - (3)= 8
y= y2-y1 = 12 - (4)= 8
Since both x and y distance is 8, let's try answer with the total ratio 8. Both of x and y also plus, so focus on coordinate with both x and y plus too.
Point C(3.5, -2.5) divides AB in the ratio 1:7-----> total ratio 8,y minus
Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6 -----> total ratio 8, x minus
Point C(8, 9) divides AB in the ratio 5:3 -----> total ratio 8, both x and y plus
x3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance
x3= 3 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 3+ 5=8
y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance
y3= 4 + (5/5+3)*(8)= 4 +5= 9
4. Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6
A(-5,2)and B(7, 14)
The distance between A and B would be:
x= x2-x1 = 7 - (-5)= 12
y= y2-y1 = 14 - (2)= 12
Since both x and y distance is 12, it will be hard to use it since 12 has many factors. Both y coordinate is plus, so focus on coordinate with y more than x and plus.
Point C(4, 1.6) divides AB in the ratio 3:2 -----> x more than y
Point C(-2, 5) divides AB in the ratio 2:6 -------> y plus, y more than xx3= x1 + AB ratio* AB distance
x3= -5 + (2/2+6)*(12)= -5+ 3=-2
y3= y1 + AB ratio* AB distance
y3= 2 + (2/2+6)*(12)= 2 +3= 5
Answer:
34.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically;
z-score = x-mean/SD
from the question, we have mean as 29 and standard deviation as 3.6 with z-score as 1.5
So we need to find the z-score here
1.5 = x-29/3.6
3.6 * 1.5 = x-29
5.4 = x-29
x = 29 + 5.4
x = 34.4
