answer:
Step by step solution:
1) put the numbers in order:
25,25,29,31,33,37,38,42,46
2) find the median:
25,25,29,31,33,37,38,42,46
33
3) find the median of the first quartile:
25,25,29,31
25 and 29
25+29= 54
54/2
27
Q1= 27
Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
I have seen you ask this question twice before, so I will give you the answer that HugoD gave you:
In mathematics, "of" is translated as a multiplication.
So, you have :
.
The answer is one. anything squared to the zeroth is 1.
