Answer: The correct answer is option A: 6

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by splitting the word problem into bits to ease our calculations.

We start with “the quotient of a and 6...” and that can be expressed as

a/6 where a equals 186, this becomes

186/6 and this equals 31.

Note that quotient means the result derived from dividing two numbers/values.

Next, “The difference of ... and b squared”

The missing part of this statement has been calculated as 31, so this can now be written as “The difference of 31 and b squared” where b equals 5 and b squared now equals 25. Hence what we have is the difference of 31 and 25

That is, 31 - 25 and that equals 6.

Therefore, the expression can now be written out as;

(a/6) - b^2

When a equals 186 and b equals 5, the answer is 6

What is the 23rd term in the arithmetic sequence 11,14,17,20?
nikdorinn [45]
To find the next term in an arithmetic sequence, your best bet would be to use the formula N(x)= N(1) + (x-1)*d, where x stands for the term you want to find, N(1) stands for the first number in the sequence, and d stands for the common difference between the numbers.

First, lets see what we can plug in. We know the first term in the sequence (N(1)) is 11, we know that we want to find the 23rd number in the sequence (x), and by subtracting the 2nd term by the 1st term (14-11), the common difference (d) is 3. When we plug that all into our equation, it should end up looking something like this: N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3.

Next, we can break down the equation to solve it step by step using PEMDAS. Parenthesis go first, so N(23)= 11 + (23-1)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + (22)*3. We don't have any exponents, so we can skip the E. Next, we do multiplication and division from left to right, so N(23)= 11 + (22)*3 becomes N(23)= 11 + 66. Finally, we do addition and subtraction from left to right, getting us from N(23)= 11 + 66 to N(23)= 77, which means that the 23rd number in the sequence is 77!
