<u><em>Answer: </em></u>
#9: 5
#10: -2
#11: -1.5
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
<em><u>#9:</u></em> 3,8,13,18,23,(28),(33),(38),.. <em>Go up by 5 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>5</em></u><em>.</em>
<u><em>#10:</em></u> 11,9,7,5,3,(1),(-1),(-3),... <em>Go down </em><em>(-)</em><em> by 2 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>-2</em></u><em>.</em>
<u><em>#11:</em></u> 3, 1.5, 0, -1.5, -3, (-4.5), (-6), (-7.5),... <em>Go down </em><em>(-) </em><em>by 1.5 each time, so the common difference is </em><u><em>-1.5</em></u><em>.</em>
⇒ common ratio =r=3 and the given sequence is geometric sequence. Where an is the nth term, a is the first term and n is the number of terms. ⇒ 12th term is 708588 .
(May be wrong for some other users, although it's correct for me.)
x+x+y.y.y = 2x+y^3 ( y cube)
So, The answer is (d)
Y=2/3x -5/2
Slope is equal to the parallel line (2/3)
Find y intercept by setting y and x equal the given coordinates and solve.
Mean is equal to sum/ number of values
27+3+2+25+5=62
62/5=12.4
Final answer: D, 12.4 years
