3, 1, -1, -3, -5
 -2  -2  -2  -2

a(n) = a₁ + d(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n) + 2(1)
a(n) = 3 - 2n + 2
a(n) = -2n + 3 + 2
a(n) = -2n + 5
   a₁₄ = -2(14) + 5
   a₁₄ = -28 + 5
   a₁₄ = -23

The answer is C.

Solve the equation x^2 - 4x + 6 = 9 by completing the square.
tatuchka [14]

Hello!

x² - 4x + 6 = 9 <=>

<=> x² - 4x + 6 - 9 = 0 <=>

<=> x² - 4x - 3 = 0 <=>

<=> x = -(-4)±√(-4)²-4×1×(-3)/2×1 <=>

<=> x = 4±√16+12/2 <=>

<=> x = 4±√28/2 <=>

<=> x = 4±2√7/2 =>

=> x = 4+2√7/2 and x = 4-2√7/2 =>

=> x = 2+√7 and x = 2-√7

The equation has two solutions.

Good luck! :)

Can anyone show me how to divide 931/7
Inessa [10]
(You go from left to right)
(Dividend is 931, divisor is 7)
Step 1: Look for a number smaller than 9 that is divisible by 7. 7 is the only one which is smaller than 9 and is divisible by 7. Now that you know 7*1=7, you put 1 above 931 (Dividend)
 Step 2: You subtract that number from the number in tens place. And bring the leftover down.
Step 3: You repeat Step 1 and 2 until either you get a remainder of 0 or the remainder in smaller than the divisor (in this case 7)
(Therefore 931/7=133, quotient=133, remainder=0)
^Hope this helps.

Use the data set shown below to complete the sentence 3,3,4,5,5,9 the mean the median
lorasvet [3.4K]

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ Mean = 4.8  Median = 4.5

The mean is the average. To find the mean add up all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers:

3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 29

29 ÷ 6 = 4.8

To find the mean, keep crossing out numbers until you are left with one number (for an odd amount of numbers). When you have an even amount of numbers, keep crossing out until you are left with 2 numbers. Add those 2 numbers and then divide:

4 + 5 = 9

9 ÷ 2 = 4.5
