Mathematics is just for the books, confined in the classroom. Mathematics has no place in life.

On the first of each month, shelly runs a 5k race. she keeps track of her times to track her progress. her time in minutes is recorded in the table: jan 40.55 july 35.38 feb 41.51 aug 37.48 mar 42.01 sept 40.87 apr 38.76 oct 48.32 may 36.32 nov 41.59 june 34.28 dec 42.71 determine the difference between the mean of the data, including the outlier and excluding the outlier. round to the hundredths place. 39.98 39.22 0.76 1.21

To find the extreme values of a function f(x.y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x,y)=xy

[10 points, algebra 2-simplifying complex fractions]according to my answer key the restrictions are -1 and 4. but why not positive 1?
