In USA the average I.Q. is 98 while the top one average I.Q. country is Hong Kong.
But the I.Q. distribution is given by a polinomial graph, few people with extremely low I.Q. 40~70, a lot between 70~100, some between 100~120, few between 120~140 and extremely low 140+
All of the answer choices that you are given are incorrect. I have calculated it in all different ways and get the same thing and it is none of those. The correct answer would be -75 though.
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
A term in a polynomial is a single number or a number multiplied by any number of variables. A polynomial is a sum of terms.
The only thing that can be done with variables in a polynomial is to multiply them by numbers or other variables. In a polynomial, you cannot: divide by a variable (have a variable in a denominator), have a root of a variable, have a log of a variable, have a variable as an exponent, etc.
All expressions are polynomials except for D. In D., the negative exponents mean division by variables.
Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
