Pretend that the first term is 21, and the fourth term is 126
it's the same thing. 
126 =21 +3d 
105=3d 
d=35 
21 =a1 +6(35) 
21=a1 +210 
a1=-189

Answer:

8.96% Changes to 8.93% Step-by-step explanation:

9.4 * 0.0035 = 0.0329 where we add this on each side of the 9.4 to show 9.4-0.0329 = 9.3671 and 9.4329 then 9.4329 * 0.95 = 8.961255 = 8.96 then redo 9.3671 * 0.95 =8.898745 the symmetry is 8.961255 -8.898745 =0.06251 8.898745/ (0.06251 /2) nb 006251 distance standard error each side of symmetry line = 8.93% line of symmetry
