Working backwards:
17-3=14
14/2=7
7 is the second term in the sequence. Continue backwards.
7-3=4
4/2=2
2 is the first term in the sequence, aka your answer.
<h2>
Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The second option,
b.) 
<h2>
Why?</h2>
We are given the functions E(x) and K(x), since they both are function of the same variable, we need to add them in order to find the correct option.
From the statement we know the functions:

and

So, adding the functions we have:




Hence, the answer is the second option,
b.) 
Have a nice day!
Answer:

And the explanation of this number is:"The number of text messages for Kendra it's 2.26 deviations above the mean"
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
2) Calculate the z score
Let X the random variable that represent the number of text messages per month, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And the explanation of this number is:"The number of text messages for Kendra it's 2.26 deviations above the mean"
Answer:
595
Step-by-step explanation:
SOLUTION STEPS
(2.0×10−3)(3.5×10)
Multiply 2 and 10 to get 20.
(20−3)×3.5×10
Subtract 3 from 20 to get 17.
17×3.5×10
Multiply 17 and 3.5 to get 59.5.
59.5×10
Multiply 59.5 and 10 to get 595.
595
