Hi there!

The key feature of an arithmetic progression is that the change between each term is the same. Let's first calculate this amount of change, known as the common difference.

We can see that there are 4 terms between the values of 6 and 30, as 7 - 3 = 4. By subtracting 6 from 30, and getting 24, we then see that when 4 terms pass, 24 passes. Dividing 24 into 4 equal pieces gets us 6 for each term. Thus, this means that the common difference is 6.

Now, we can calculate the first and 10th term based off this. We know the 3rd term is 6. The first term is 2 terms behind this. With a common difference of 6, this means that the first term is 12 behind 6, or -6.

For the 10th term, we know the 7th term is 30. We know the 10th term is 3 terms after the 7th term. With a common difference of 6, this means the 10th term is 18 after 30, or 48.

Thus, this means the common difference is 6, the first term is -6, and the tenth term is 48.

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions about this specific problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step

Create an algebraic equation. 6N-12. 6x1 - 12 = -6. So -6 is the first term.

6x10-12 = 48. So 48 is the 10th term

Hope it helps

Answer:

a) We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{350+ 70+ 65 +50+ 60}{5} =119$

And for the median first we need to order the dataset on increasing way:

50, 60, 65, 70, 350

Since the sample size is an odd number we can calculate the median as the middle position for the dataset, for this case the 3th position and we got:

Median = 65

b) For this case we can see that we have an outlier present in the data 350, and for this case if we want to give a measure of central tendency is better use the median since this meaure is not affected by outliers. So Lauren should use the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

350, 70, 65, 50, 60

Part a

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{350+ 70+ 65 +50+ 60}{5} =119$

Median = 65

Part b

For this case we can see that we have an outlier present in the data 350, and for this case if we want to give a measure of central tendency is better use the median since this meaure is not affected by outliers. So Lauren should use the median.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -4)(−4,−4) and (-4, -9) ?(−4,−9)? Write your answer in simples

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The points contain the same x-value. This means that the line is vertical.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

Hope this helps.

Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function. Be sure to use the definition of a function

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

A function is a relationship where any one x-value/input only has <u>one </u>corresponding y-value/output. (note: a y-value can have multiple x-values).

> This can be called "assigning one y-value to every x element".

The vertical line test places a line that would connect all y-values of an x-value (that is, if it were to have multiple y-values). If multiple points can be found along the vertical line, it is, therefore, by the definition of a function, not a function. (Because an x-value will have more than one y-value).

So, a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function because an x-value will correspond with more than one y-value.

hope this helps!!
