X^2-y^2=55
this means that
(x+y)(x-y)=55
we know that x-y=11 so we can write
(x+y)(11)=55
x+y=55/11 we divide by 11 and we obtain
x+y=5

x-y=11 this means
x=y+11 we replace in the other equation (x+y=5)

y+11+y=5
2y=5-11
2y=-6
y=-3
and you find out that also
x=8

If the mean of a positively skewed distribution is 126, which of these values could be the median of the distribution?

Jlenok [28]

The mean is larger than the median in a positively skewed distribution
so the median is less than the mean in a positively skewed distribution

Find the 6th term of the arithmetic sequence X – 9, -X – 11, -3.3 – 13, ...

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$-13x-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence: $x-9, -x-11, -3x-13$

Therefore,

$a_1=x-9$
$a_2=-x-11$
$a_3=-3x-13$

General form of an arithmetic sequence: $a_n=a+(n-1)d$

(where a is the first term and d is the common difference)

To find the common difference, subtract a term from the next term:

$\begin{aligned}d & =a_2-a_1\\ & =(-x-11)-(x-9)\\ & = -x-11-x+9\\ & = -2x-2\end{aligned}$

Therefore,

$a_n & =(x-9)+(n-1)(-2x-2)$

To find the 6th term, input n = 6 into the equation:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a_6 & =(x-9)+(6-1)(-2x-2)\\ & = (x-9)+7(-2x-2)\\ & = x-9-14x-14\\ & = -13x-23\end{aligned}$

Answer:

1. $12x^2-13.4x-11$

- Degree: 2

- Number of terms: 3

2. $7x^3+168$

- Degree: 3

- Number of terms: 2

3. $9x^4-9$

- Degree: 4

- Number of terms: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the multiplication of signs:

$(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-$

1. Given:

$(4x + 2.2)(3x - 5)$

Apply the Distributive property:

$=12x^2+6.6x-20x-11$

Add the like terms:

$=12x^2-13.4x-11$

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 2

- Number of terms: 3

2. Given:

$(-304 +503 - 12) + (7x^3 - 25 + 6)$

Add the like terms:

$=187 + 7x^3 - 25 + 6=7x^3+168$

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 3

- Number of terms: 2

3. Given:

$(3x^2 - 3)(3x^2 + 3)$

Apply Distributive property:

$=9x^4-9x^2+9x^2-9$

Add the like terms:

$=9x^4-9$

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 4

- Number of terms: 2
