Let the common ratio be r.
then
a2*r*r=a4
rearrange,
r^2=a4/a2=112.5/50=2.25
r=sqrt(2.25)=1.5 = common ratio

Question is shown below.

Andrei [34K]

ANSWER

D. 4 minutes 40 seconds

EXPLANATION

The given data set showing the number of seconds of each song the playlist is:

283,204,198,229,173,230,168,236,215,204

Let the length of the 11th song be x.

Because he wants the mean to be 3 minutes 40 seconds, which is equal to 220 seconds, we write and solve the following equation for x.

$\frac{283 + 204 + 198 + 229 + 173 + 230 + 168 + 236 + 215 + 204 + x}{11} = 220$

$\frac{2140 + x}{11} = 220$

$2140 + x = 2420$

$x = 2420 - 2140$

$x = 280$

We convert 280 seconds to minutes.

$\frac{280}{60} = 4 \frac{2}{3} = 4mins : 40 sec$

The correct choice is D

$k(x) - g(x) + f(x)$

$(k(x) + f(x)) - g(x)$

$((2x + 5) + (x - 1)) - ( {6x}^{2} - 4x + {3x}^{4}$

$(2x + 5 +x - 1) - 6 {x}^{2} + 4x - {3x}^{4}$

$2x + 5 +x - 1 - 6 {x}^{2} + 4x - {3x}^{4}$

$( - {3x}^{4} ) + ( - {6x}^{2} ) + (2x + x + 4x) + (5 - 1)$

$- {3x}^{4} - {6x}^{2} + 7x + 4$
