Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 4x

b = x + 2

c = 3x + 4

Solution

(4x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (3x + 4)^3                  Remove all the brackets.

16x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16  Collect like terms on the left

17x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16            Subtract the terms on the right

8x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0

This factors into

(4x - 12)(2x + 1)

There are 2 answers

4x - 12 = 0

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

or

2x + 1 = 0

2x = - 1

x = - 1/2

You have to look at x = -1/2 carefully. The problem is that 4x = 4*(-1/2) = - 2 which is not possible in Euclidean Geometry.

So the only answer is x = 3

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested
