First ask yourselfhat needs to be dristributed.
That would be -1 (x-9)
To distribute you have to multiply the number out side of the parentheses (-1) by each term inside the parentheses( x and -9)
-1×x=-x
-1×-9=9
Now the expression is
-x+9+4x
To simplify you have to combine like terms (4x and-x)
4x-x=3x
Your answer is 9+3x or 3(3+x).
Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3
The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.
So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

In summary, the answer is
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B
Answer:
a) 5.5
b) None
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data set is {96,89,79,85,87,94,96,98}
First we must find the mean.

We now find the absolute value of the distance of each value from the mean.
This is called the absolute deviation
{
}
{
}
We now find the mean of the absolute deviations

The least absolute deviation is 1.5. This is not within one absolute deviation.
Therefore none of the data set is closer than one mean absolute deviation away from the mean.
