Answer:
yes 48 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The highest score is 94.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the highest score be denoted by, <em>A</em>, the lowest score be, <em>B</em> and the middle score be <em>X</em>.
Then,
A + X + B = 87 × 3 = 261 ...(i)
X + B = 83.5 × 2 = 167 ...(ii)
⇒ B = 167 - X ...(iii)
A + X = 89 × 2 = 178 ...(iv)
⇒ A = 178 - X ...(v)
Substitute (iii) and (v) in (i) and solve for <em>X</em> as follows:
A + X + B = 261
178 - X + X + 167 - X = 261
345 - X = 261
X = 84
Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (iii) and solve for B as follows:
B = 167 - X
= 167 - 84
= 83
Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (v) and solve for A as follows:
A = 178 - X
= 178 - 84
= 94
Thus, the highest score is 94.
Remark
The closest answer is D, but the answer has to be rewritten: f(x) = - 2/3 (6)^(x - 1) where x is 1,2,3,4,5,6 .... to plus infinity. If that is not what you are given, there is no answer.
Discussion
The minus sign is misplaced. There are 2 reasons.
1. When x is odd, then the minus sign is not there and every other term will be plus.
2. For a related reason, you cannot get a minus 2/3 if the sign is affected by the power. The first term must be -2/3. (-6)^0 power is 1 not -1
Answer: There is no answer, but you could try C if D does not work.
