\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\ \quad \\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf f(x)=\cfrac{x^2-1}{x-1}\implies f(x)=\cfrac{x^2-1^2}{x-1}\implies f(x)=\cfrac{(\underline{x-1})(x+1)}{\underline{x-1}}
\\\\\\
f(x)=x+1\qquad \qquad \qquad  \qquad  \qquad  g(x)=x+1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{they're, kinda, except that, when x = 1}
\\\\\\
g(x)=(1)+1\implies g(x)=2
\\\\\\
f(x)=\cfrac{(1)^2-1}{(1)-1}\implies f(x)=\cfrac{0}{0}\impliedby und efined

Svetradugi [14.3K]

13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 =101 / 5 = 20.2

Mean before was 20.2

In order for the mean to be 19, all those numbers would have to add up 114 to be divided by 6 and have a mean of 19

114 / 6 = 19

114-101 = 13 is that number

17 + 15 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 13 = 114 / 6 = 19
