Since eleven is odd, there must be a centra element, which in this case is the sixth. So, we can write 11 consecutive integers as

Since the arithmetic mean is the sum of the values, divided by how many they are, we have

So, the mean of 11 consecutive integers is the 6th integer.
We can cosider this to be a difference of 2 squares so
4x^4 - 9x^2 = (2x^2 - 3x)(2x^2 + 3x) so D is one answer
also we could take x^2 out and get
x^2(4x^2 - 9) = C
This makes sense to me: m=(y-6)/3
m is the number of muffins each friend gets, y is the original quantity of muffins, -6 is = to the number of muffins you freeze, and the /3 is to split the remaining (unfrozen) muffins equally.
Answer:
2.8 < x < 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
We must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem which states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c:
a + b > c
b + c > a
c + a > b
Here, let's arbitrarily denote a as 4.1, b as 1.3, and c as x. So, let's plug these values into the 3 inequalities listed above:
a + b > c ⇒ 4.1 + 1.3 > x ⇒ 5.8 > x
b + c > a ⇒ 1.3 + x > 4.1 ⇒ x > 2.8
c + a > b ⇒ x + 4.1 > 1.3 ⇒ x > -2.8
Look at the last two: clearly if x is greater than 2.8 (from the second one), then it will definitely be greater than -2.8 (from the third), so we can just disregard the last inequality.
Thus, the range of possible sizes for x are:
2.8 < x < 5.8
