Pleasee helppp insert two arithnetic means between -5 and 1

a₂ = -3

a₃  = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to  insert two arithmetic means between -5 and 1

Let a₁ and b₂ be the two arithmetic means between -5 and 1

-5, a₂, a₃, 1

Here,

We know that the nth term of an Arithmetic sequence

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

a₄ = -5 + (4-1)d

1 = -5 + 3d    

1  + 5 = 3d

3d = 6

Dividing both sides by 2

d = 2

Also

a₂ = a₁ + (2-1)d

a₂ = -5 + d

a₂ = -5 + 2          ∵ d = 2

a₂  = -3

a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d

a₃  = -5 + 2d

a₃  = -5 + 2(2)   ∵ d = 2

a₃  = -5 + 4

a₃  = -1

Thus,

a₂ = -3

a₃  = -1

Thus, the sequence becomes:

-5, -3, -3, 1

the square root of 16 is 4.

4*4 = 16

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)

hope that .
