The nth term of a sequence is 7n-4. Write down the 4th term and the 10th term of the sequence. The first four terms of a different sequence are 9, 13, 17, 21. Find an expression for the nth term of this sequence.

The nth term of a sequence means that when we substitute the value of n in to the equation, we find that term. So to find the 4th term in the sequence, we substitute 4 in for n. 7(4)-4=28-4=24. The 10th t...

Find the median, mean, and mode of the following set of data: 55, 43, 62, 91, 2, 43, 34, 16, 16.

To find the median, we first need to rewrite the set of data in ascending order of values: 2, 16, 16, 34, 43, 43, 55, 62, 91. We then count how many items are in this list. The median is the item in the m...
