Just replace n with 13 in the formula:  <span>an=84+(n-1)(-6)

Thus, a(13)=84+(13-1)(-6) = 84 - 72 = 12 (answer)</span>

Answer:

12


Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given is a_n=84+(n-1)(-6)

Where a_n gives the nth term


<em>Since we want 13th term, we can say we want a_{13} and we plug in 13 in n into the formula. So we get:</em>

a_n=84+(n-1)(-6)\\a_{13}=84+(13-1)(-6)\\a_{13}=84+(12)(-6)\\a_{13}=84-72\\a_{13}=12


So, the 13th term of the sequence is 12

What is the mean and mode of the data set shown below? {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 2, 5, 6}
likoan [24]
The average is calculated by adding all numbers and dividing by the count:

(2+4+5+6+8+2+5+6)/8 = 38/8 = 4.75

The mode is the number that occurs most often, however, this is the case for 2, 5 and 6. A data set can have multiple modes. 2, 5 and 6 are modes.

I need some help with this
Korvikt [17]


The following can be deduced from the expressions

m ∠ D = 4 × m ∠ A
m ∠ B = 3 × m ∠ A-12

Please note that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degress. Therefore,

M∠ A + m ∠ B + m ∠ D = 180equation(3)

Substitute for equation 1 and 2 in equation 3 as shown below

m ∠ A + 3 × m ∠ A - 12^0 + 4 x m ∠ A =180^0
m ∠ A + 3 × m ∠ A + 4 x m ∠ A = 180^0+12^0
8m ∠ A = 192^0
m ∠ A= 192^0/8
m ∠ A=24^0

Substitute for m∠A= 24 in equation 1 and 2 as shown below

m ∠ D = 4 × m ∠ A
m ∠ D = 4 × 24^0
m ∠ D = 96^0
m ∠ B = 3 × mA - 12^0
m ∠ B = 3 × 24^0 - 12
m ∠ B = 72^0 - 12^0

,

∠= °

∠= °

∠= °

Find MP.<br><br> MN=17<br> NP=3y<br> MP=5y+9
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

MP = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

MN = 17

NP = 3y

MP = 5y + 9

MN + NP = MP (segment addition postulate)

17 + 3y = 5y + 9 (substitution)

3y = 5y + 9 - 17 (subtracting 17 from each side)

3y = 5y + 8

3y - 5y = 5y - 8 - 5y (Subtracting 5y from both sides)

-2y = 5y - 8 - 5y

-2y = - 8

y = 4 (dividing both sides by -2)

MP = 5y + 9

Plug in the value of y

MP = 5(4) + 9 = 20 + 9

MP = 29
