Answer:

{1, 2, 3},  {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write expressions for three consecutive integers:  n, n + 1, n + 2.

Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).

(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1

Multiply (FOIL) the left side.

n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1

Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.

n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0

Factor.

(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0

Set the two factors equal to 0

n - 1 = 0,  n - 3 = 0

Solve for n.

n = 1,  n = 3

One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.

The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (-1,5) and (1,-3)?
Harrizon [31]
Slope intercept means
y=mx+c
the slope of the line is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-3-5)/(1+1)= -4
the equation of the line is
y-5 = -4(x+1)
4x+y-1=0
changing the equation into slope intercept form
y= -4x+1

lidiya [134]

Answer:

You forgot to put the data

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we  don't have the data that represent the responses to the survery I can show you how to can get the mean and the standard deviation.

The mean is the average of the numbers. We use it to get a representative value of the data we are manipulating.  We calculate it by adding all the numbers and then divide the sum by how many numbers we have.

The formule we use is:

∑\frac{(the data we have)}{of the data}

The standard deviation is a measure of the variation or dispersion of the data we have. A low deviation indicates that our data is few disperced, on the other hand a big deviation indicates a high dispersion of the data.

The formule we use is:

\sqrt{\frac{{∑(x-mean)^{2}}}{{number of data - 1} }  }
