\text{the three consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence}\\a;\ a+d;\ a+2d\\\\\text{system of equals}\\\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+a+d+a+2d=27\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3a+3d=27&|:3\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+d=9&\to d=9-a\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\
\text{substitute to the second equation}\\\\a(a+9-a)(a+2(9-a))=585\\\\a(9)(a+18-2a)=585\\9a(18-a)=585\ \ \ |:9\\a(18-a)=65\\18a-a^2=65\ \ \ |\text{change the signs}\\a^2-18a=-65\\a^2-2a\cdot9=-65\ \ \ |+9^2\\\underbrace{a^2-2a\cdot9+9^2}_{(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2}=-65+9^2\\(a-9)^2=16\to a-9\pm\sqrt{16}\\a-9=-4\ \vee\ a-9=4\ \ \ |+9\\a=5\ \vee\ a=13\\\\d=9-5=4\ \vee\ d=9-13=-4
Answer:\ a=5;\ a+d=9; a+2d=13\ vee\ a=13;\ a+d=9;\ a+2d=5

Someone please help. Please explain how I should do it!
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if m and n are irrational number then the product of mn sometimes rational and sometime irrational

ex: √5 *√2=√10 irrational

ex: √8*√2=√16=4 rational

b-y=|x|+3

explain why |x|+3≥|x+3|

absolute value of any number is always positive

x           |x|+3          ≥            |x+3|

1              4              =               4             in this case equal

2             5                                5

-2             5             ≥                 1             in this case |x|+3≥|x+3|

in case of negative value of x then |x|+3>|x+3|

Find the 44th percentile, P44, from the following data! pls help
irina [24]

Answer:

P_{44} = 29.9

Step-by-step Explanation:

The 44th percentile, P_{44}, of the given data can be calculated using the kth formula for percentile given as:

i = \frac{k}{100}(n + 1)

where,

i = the ranking or the position of the percentile = ?

k = the percentile = 44

n = total number of the given data values = 23

Plug in the values into the formula to find "i"

i = \frac{44}{100}(23 + 1)

i = \frac{44}{100}(24)

i = \frac{1,056}{100}

i = 10.56

Since "I", 10.56, is not an integer, round the number down, and round it up to the nearest integer, then look for the position each occupy in the ordered data set, and find their average.

Thus,

i_{down} = 10.56 = 10

i_{up} = 10.56 = 11

The data occupying the 10th position on the data set = 28.7

11th = 31.1

P_{44} = \frac{28.7 + 31.1}{2} = \frac{59.8}{2}

P_{44} = 29.9
