The geometric mean of two numbers x and y is √(xy).
So, if the geometric mean of 3 and a is 9 =>
9 = √(3a)
=> 9^2 = 3a
=> a = 9^2 / 3
a = 81 / 3
a = 27
Answer: the value of a is 27.
Answer:
N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of licensed drivers in 2004 = 22.76 million
Number of licensed drivers in 2009 = 23.7 million
Number of licensed drivers, N as a function of t since year 2004 ;
General form of a linear function :
y = mx + c
c = intercept ; m = slope
Intercept c = value of y ; when x = 0
Here, population after uerssmmx,
Hence,
In 2004 ;
22.76 = mx + c
x = 0
22.76 = c
Number in 2009
x = number of yesrs after 2004 ; x = 2000 - 2004 = 5years
We can find the slope :
y = m*5 + 22.76
y = 23.7 in 2009
23.7 = 5m + 22.76
23.7 - 22.76 = 5m
m = 0.94 / 5
m = 0.188
Hence, the linear function can be written as :
N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76
The answer would be the first choice 4+b
My answer to this question C
