The mean temperature for the first 7 days in January was 2 °C. The temperature on the 8th day was 4 °C.
What is the mean temperature for the first 8 days in January?

4 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the mean is (total/amount), we can remake this to get That mean*amount=total. For the first 7 days, 4*7=28 for our total, and add that to the 8th day to get 32 for our total. 32/8=4 for our mean for the first 8 days of january

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.
