A sequence can be generated by using an = an-1 – 7 where a1 = 18 and n is a whole number greater than 1.
What are the first five terms of the sequence?

A. 18, 11, 4, -3, -10
B. -7, -14, - 21, - 28 , -35
C. 18, 25, 32, 39, 46
D. 18, -126, 882, -6,174, 43,218

The table shows population statistics for the ages of best actor and best supporting actor winners at an awards ceremony. the distributions of the ages are approximately bell-shaped. compare the z-scores for the actors in the following situation. best actor best supporting actor muequals42.0 muequals49.0 sigmaequals7.3 sigmaequals15 in a particular year, the best actor was 59 years old and the best supporting actor was 45 years old. determine the z-scores for each. best actor: z equals best supporting actor: z equals (round to two decimal places as needed.) interpret the z-scores. the best actor was (more than 2 standard deviations above more than 1 standard deviation above less than 1 standard deviation above less than 2 standard deviations below) the mean, which (is not, is) unusual. the best supporting actor was (less than 1 standard deviation below more than 1 standard deviation above more than 2 standard deviations below more than 1 standard deviation below) the mean, which (is is not) unusual.

Solve the equation using the zero-product property. -3n(7n - 5) = 0 a. 0, -5/7 b. -1/3, -5/7 c. -1/3, 5/7 d. 0, 5/7
