Answer:  (B) 110

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)\qquad \text{where}\ a_1\ \text{is the first term, d is the difference, n is the term}

It is given that a₁ = 185, d = -15, and n = 6

a₆ = 185 - 15(6 - 1)

   = 185 - 15(5)

   = 185 - 75

   = 110

<u>Check:</u>

n = 1: 185

n = 2: 185 - 15 = 170

n = 3: 170 - 15 = 155

n = 4: 155 - 15 = 140

n = 5: 140 - 15 = 125

n = 6: 125 - 15 = 110  \checkmark

Answer:

110 is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that first term is 185

Each term is got by subtracting 15 from the previous term

Hence we have an arithmetic sequence with a = 185 and d = common difference =-15

6th term would be

a_6 = a+(6-1)d = 185+5(-15)

=110

Verify:

185, 170, 155,140,125,110

We get by subtracting 15 the same answer as the 6th term

Determine the general solution of:<br><br> sin 3x - sin x = cos2x
SpyIntel [72]
Sin³ x-sin x=cos ² x

we know that:
sin²x + cos²x=1  ⇒cos²x=1-sin²x
Therefore:

sin³x-sin x=1-sin²x
sin³x+sin²x-sin x-1=0

sin³x=z

z³+z²-z-1=0

we divide by Ruffini method:
              1     1     -1     -1
        1           1      2      1                z=1
-------------------------------------
              1     2      1      0
       -1         -1      -1                       z=-1
--------------------------------------
              1     1       0                       z=-1

Therefore; the solutions are z=-1 and z=1

The solutions are:
if z=-1, then
sin x=-1   ⇒x= arcsin -1=π+2kπ    (180º+360ºK)   K∈Z


if z=1, then
sin x=1   ⇒ x=arcsin 1=π/2 + 2kπ   (90º+360ºK)   k∈Z

π/2 + 2kπ    U   π+2Kπ=π/2+kπ     k∈Z    ≈(90º+180ºK)

Answer: π/2 + Kπ    or     90º+180ºK          K∈Z

Can someone please help me please I will give brainliest and please dont google
lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation occurs when we can observe a trend between the response/dependent variable (y) and the explanatory/independent variable (x).  

When comparing two sets of data, we may observe and use correlation to determine whether or not the data presented if significant or not and whether or not it supports our hypothesis. We may want to see if this is just a fluke and whether or not the trend causes causation.

An example of this would be if we thought that the weight of female mice determines how many kids they have in a month.. Let's say that mice that weigh up to one ounce have 6 baby mice per month.

Let's say that the x variable is the weight which is between 0.25 oz and 1.25 oz and the y-variable is the amount of kids between each month. If another laboratory conducts the same study with the same type of mice with the same weights as us, we would need to determine if there is correlation and if there is causation and try to use this information to determine if both sets of data are significant to our hypothesis.
