If a, b, c is an arithmetic sequence then a + c = 2b
a = 5, b = 9, c = 15
subtitute
a + c = 5 + 15 = 20
2b = 2 · 9 = 18
20 ≠ 18
Answer: The sequence 5, 9, 15 is not an arithmetic sequence.
So the best I could come up with is paper-rock-scissors; the operation takes two inputs and puts out the winner (assuming they are different).
So (paper rock) scissors= paper scissors = scissors,
But paper (rock scissors)= paper rock = paper.
This is a good example because it shows that associativity matters even outside of math.
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the rectangle is about 2.4 or 2 2/5 if you need it as an fraction.
A positive correlation between two variables, say x and y means that if one increases the other will increase as well
