add the terms together, then divide this quantity by the number of terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):
from -2 to 10
?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

How can you get more than one arithmetic means from the same data?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk:(
hartnn (hartnn):
3 arithmetic means between a,b are x,y,z
then
a,x,y,z,b are in AP
hartnn (hartnn):
so lets first find the middle arithmetic mean 'y'
a = -2 and b= 10
y = (a+b)/2
hartnn (hartnn):
now
'x' is the arithmetic mean between 'a' and 'y'
x= (a+y)/2

4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no wait nevermind... idk
hartnn (hartnn):
z is the arithmetic mean between y and b
z = (y+b)/2
hartnn (hartnn):
you mean y= 4 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think so

thats correct :)
find x and z too!
OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):
'x' is the arithmetic mean between 'a' and 'y'
x= (a+y)/2
