Answer:

a21 = -61

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d

-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d (subtract to eliminate a₁)

9 = -3d

d = -3

-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)

-1 = a

a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)

= -61

Answer:

-61 (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d and first term a(1) is

a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)

Therefore, a(7) = -19 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or a(7) = a(1) + d(6) = -19

and a(10) = a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28, or a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28

Solving the first equation a(1) + d(6) = -19 for a(1) yields a(1) = -19 - 6d.  We substitute this result for a(1) in the second equation:

-19 - 6d + 9d = -28.  Grouping like terms together, we get:

3d = -9, and so d = -3.

Going back to an earlier result:  a(1) = -19 - 6d.

Here, a(1) = -19 - 6(-3), or a(1) = -1.

Then the formula specifically for this case is a(n) = -1 - 3(n - 1)

and so a(21) = -1 - 3(20) = -61 (Answer D)

2. What two numbers, if added together and multiplied together, give 4?

2 and 2.

3. Factor

(x+2)(x+2)=0

4. Solve

x = -2 (There is only one root for this quadratic equation.)

Find the mode(s) for the given sample data. The lengths (in inches) of each snake in the Clarmont Zoo's reptile house are shown
Contact [7]

The correct option is :   no mode

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The given data set is:  9, 15, 86, 13, 16, 101, 85, 10, 14, 17, 102

The <u>mode is the number that is repeated more often</u> than any other number in the data set.

But here we can see that all the numbers in this data set are different. That means <u>they appear only once</u>.

So, there will be 'no mode' in this set.
