Answer: Part B
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.
5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27
11 is the median.
Then find the median of the upper quartile.
The upper quartile consists of numbers...
5, 7, 8, 10
Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.
7.5 is your upper quartile.
Given:
second term = 18
fifth term = 144
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

Hence, we have:

Divide the expression for the fifth term by the expression for the second term:

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:
Answer:
1) -10^3 (-10 to the power of 3)
2) r^5 (pie to the power of 5)
3) 1/2^2 + x^3 (1/2 to the power of 2 + x to the power of 3)
