The blank is 3.
What the question is assessing is the distributive property. The 3 term gets distributed to the 6 and the -2, which means it the 6 and the -2 are multiplied by 3.
The easiest way to answer this is to try all choices, plug
in values for the 1st term and 2nd term then check if the
answer matches with 5 and 2. (n = 1 and n = 2)
We know that n starts with 1 because that is our 1st
term, we do not have 0th term, therefore that leaves us with 2
choices.
Choice 1: an = 5 − 2(n − 1); all integers where n ≥ 1
n = 1
a1 = 5 – 2 (1 – 1) = 5 – 2 (0)
a1 = 5
n = 2
a2 = 5 – 2 (2 – 1) = 5 – 2 (1)
<span>a2 = 3 (FALSE!)</span>
Choice 2: an = 5 − 3(n − 1); all integers where n ≥ 1
n = 1
a1 = 5 – 3 (1 – 1) = 5 – 3 (0)
a1 = 5
n = 2
a2 = 5 – 3 (2 – 1) = 5 – 3 (1)
<span>a2 = 2 (TRUE)</span>
Therefore the correct answer is:
<span>an = 5 − 3(n − 1); all integers where n ≥ 1</span>
Answer:
Mean: 3.5263157894737
Median: 3
Mode: 3
Step-by-step explanation: The mode is 3 because the mode is for which number pops up the most, which is 3.
I got the median by crossing out 8 from the left and the right of the number set and got 3 as the last number.
I got the mean by adding up all the numbers and divided it by the amount of numbers in the set.
Given that the sample size is 12, thus the degree of freedom = 12 - 1 = 11.
Using technology, the p value of the t statistic, t = 2.028 is 0.9663.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
On a number line, -2 appears to the right of -5, and therefore -2 is warmer than -5. (Answer A)
The difference between -2 and -5 is -2 - (-5) = 5 - 2 = 3 degrees C (Answer B)
In other words, -2 is 3 degrees C warmer than -5 degrees C.
