Answer:
4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor is the greatest number that can divide the terms. The greatest number that can divide each term is 4, and the greatest power of x that can divide each term is x^2. This is because it can't be any number greater than 4 since that number would never be able to divide into 4. This is also the reason why x^2 is the greatest power possible. It cannot be greater than anything divisible by itself. Thus, you multiply 4 by x^2 and the answer is 4x^2.
To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you arrange a statistics in order from least to greatest, the middle number is the median.
If there is even number of numbers in a list, let it be n numbers, then we take the average of n/2th and n/2 + 1 th terms.
Here, all of them have 6 numbers, so 6/2 = 3 and 4th, we take average of 3rd and 4th number to find the median.
Since they are arrange in order we check each:
Jon = average of 6 and 7, (6+7)/2 = 6.5
Leroy = average of 6 and 8, (6+8)/2 = 7
Simon = average of 5 and 6, (5+6)/2 = 5.5
Leroy's median is the greatest (7).
