Does 2 1/4 simplified equal 3/4

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)

school a:

minimum value is 2

maximum value is 22

the lower quartile is 2.5

the median is 10

the upper quartile is 15.5

school b:

minimum value is 9

maximum value is 20

the lower quartile is 12

the median is 16

the upper quartile is 18

box plot for school a isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the right

box plot for school b isn't symmetrical. the data tails on the left
