Answer:
What are the choices?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is x.
The common difference is d.
The second term is x + d.
3rd term: x + 2d
4th term: x + 3d
7th term: x + 6d
"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"
x + 3d = 3 * x Eq. 1
"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"
x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1 Eq. 2
Simplify Eq. 1:
2x = 3d
Simplify Eq. 2:
x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1
x = 2d - 1
Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.
2x = 4d - 2
2x = 3d (simplified Eq. 1)
Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.
3d = 4d - 2
d = 2
2x = 3d
2x = 3(2)
2x = 6
x = 3
Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.
The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most.
The numbers in this set are as follows,
26, 17, 9, 12, 18, 21, 9, 14, 18, 23, 15, 7, 20, 18, 17, and 12
26 I
17 II
9 II
12 II
18 III
21 I
14 I
23 I
15 I
7 I
20 I
The number that appears the most is 18!
So the mode of the set of numbers is 18!
Your answer is going to be 40
