m I think I'm not really sure sorry if I'm wrong.
You just add all the numbers together:
3 1/8+ 4 1/2+ 4 1/4
=25/8+9/2+17/4
=25/8+36/8+34/8
=95/8
=11 7/8
Ugh.. did you type in the numbers correctly? My guess would be it was meant to be B tho :)
The first term of the sequence is already given to be 3. Use this value to obtain the second term.
a2 = 2(a1)^2 = 2(3)² = 18
Use the value of the second term to get the third term through the equation,
a3 = 2(a2)² = 2(18)² = 648
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are factoring the expression
Given
4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.
product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13
the factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the y- term
2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term
= (y + 5)(2y + 3)
Thus
4y² + 26y + 30
= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
The mean is the average.
To solve for the average we add all the numbers up and divide by how many numbers there are.
21, 23, 25, 25, 26, 28, 28, 28, 31, 33.
268 total, now divide by how many numbers there are.
268/10
Your mean is 26.8
