Just use the class widths that are given. You've divided them incorrectly. Using this you're frequency densities should be:
35-40 : 3
40-45 : 4
45-50 : 6
50-55 : 7
55-60 : 5.6
60-70 : 1.2
The last 4 are correct, just make the correction to the size of the last block and to the first two frequency densities, you're graph will be perfect then.
thanx. Got it. Made error in plotting.
I can never recheck my own graph.

What?

If you calculator shows 3.13253q9689
You use 3.133
If the final answer is the said, you write 3.13

If the calculator shows 3.15, obv you'll use 3.15

Only angles (in degrees) are to be given to 1d.p Rad will be 3sf.

Can someone plz help me with this question.
x^3+ax^2-x+b and x^3+bx^2-5x+3a have a common factor of x+2. find the value of a and b.m
i tried to suppose x+2=0 so x=-2. i substituted this value in the equ to get a-3b=8. so what next?

a= 2
b= -2

Use x = -2 in each equation. Since it's a factor, it'll equal zero.

Then resolve the equation and solve simultaneously.

Use 4 significant figures in ALL your working and give ANSWERS to 3 significant figures unless otherwise stated. Give all angles to 1 decimal place.

first, divide the square into quadrants, find area o quadrant 19.63. then divide the top right hand side oval shape into two. in this way quadrant would become a triangle and a half oval. then calculate area of triangle 12.5. subtract the area of tri from quad to get area of half oval. 7.13. then find area of semi circle. 39.27.ssubtract the area of one oval from it to get ans. 39.27-2(7.13) = 25


:cry: sorry i didnt get a word.wht r quadrants?

so much of an effort for just 1 mark :cry:
