Answer:

a₆ = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₂ = 5 and a₁₀ = 19 , then

a₁ + d = 5 → (1)

a₁ + 9d = 19 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

8d = 14 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = 1.75

Substitute d = 1.75 into (1)

a₁ + 1.75 = 5 ( subtract 1.75 from both sides )

a₁ = 3.25

Then

a₆ = 3.25 + 5(1.75) = 3.25 + 8.75 = 12

Joaquin and Trisha are playing a game in which the lower median wins the game. Their scores are shown below. Joaquin's scores: 7
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Joaquin's score is 75,72,85,62,58,91

and Trisha's score is 92,90,55,76,91,74

Arranging score in order of value we get

Joaquin's : 58,62,72,75,85,91

Trisha's : 55,74,76,90,91,92

as no of values is even therefore their median is

Joaquin's=\frac{72+75}{2}=73.5

Trisha's =\frac{76+90}{2}=83

Therefore median of Joaquin's is lower

Thus Joaquin wins the game

Write the equation of a Line that is perpendicular to y=5/2x+3 and passes
koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of perpendicular lines = -1

y = 5/2x + 3

m_{1}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\m_{1}*m_{2}=-1\\\\

        m_{2}= -1 ÷ m_{1}

               = -1*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-2}{5}

(-3 , -5)

Equation of the required line: y - y₁ = m(x -x₁)

                                                y - [5] = \frac{-2}{5}(x - [-3])\\

                                               y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x + 3*\frac{-2}{5}\\\\y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}\\\\   y =\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-5\\\\   y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{5*5}{1*5}\\\\ y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{25}{5}\\\\\\ y=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{31}{5}
