Factor the trinomial below. 24x^2-49x-40
a. (3x-8)(8x+5)
b. (3x+8)(8x-5)
c. (4x+8)(6x-5)
d. (4x-8)(6x+5)

the correct answer is a. (3x-8)(8x+5)

Thx for the points

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
