9x + 18 /4 + -5x + 24 / 4
Answer:
B) 7 feet is the median (center) and 5 is the range (spread)
Step-by-step explanation:
spread is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the data set (9 - 4 = 5 in this case)
Let

Differentiating twice gives


When x = 0, we observe that y(0) = a₀ and y'(0) = a₁ can act as initial conditions.
Substitute these into the given differential equation:


Then the coefficients in the power series solution are governed by the recurrence relation,

Since the n-th coefficient depends on the (n - 2)-th coefficient, we split n into two cases.
• If n is even, then n = 2k for some integer k ≥ 0. Then




It should be easy enough to see that

• If n is odd, then n = 2k + 1 for some k ≥ 0. Then




so that

So, the overall series solution is


(6x-18)(x+4)/(3x-9)=6(x-3)(x+4)/3(x-3)=2(x+4)=2x+8
