Explanation: As shown in the explanation As shown in the explanationWe are given:Average of original list = 92.0Number of values = 4So, sum of original…

Correct answer: 94.0
  • A. m + 3
  • B. m + 1
  • C. m + 2
  • D. m

Explanation: The arithmetic mean of 9 consecutive integers starting with m is calculated as the middle integer, which is the 5th integer in the…

Correct answer: m + 3
  • A. 5
  • B. 8
  • C. 9
  • D. 10
  • E. 11

Explanation: Simplify LHS.. (3x+2)(2x−5)=6x2−11x−10=ax2−n+k equate the coefficients... a=6 ; k = -11 and n = -10.. so a−n+k=6−(−10)+(−11)=6+10−11=5

Correct answer: 5
  • A. x-y=-4
  • B. x-y=4
  • C. x+y=4
  • D. x+y=-4

Explanation: The equation x+y=-4 is correct because it matches the required slope and y-intercept of line l.

Correct answer: x+y=-4
  • A. 2
  • B. 6
  • C. 10
  • D. 12

Explanation: To find where the graph crosses the y-axis, substitute x = 0 into y = 2x2 + 10x + 12.

Correct answer: 12

Correct answer: 8
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4
  • E. 5

Explanation: To find the distance between these two points, we can use the distance formula: d = |x₂ - x₁| where x₁ = -1 and x₂ = -4.
