Which of the following represents the average of 11^61 and 11^63?

A. 11^31
B. 11^62
C. 61(11^61)
D. 62(11^62)
E. 63(11^63)

The average of two numbers is their sum divided by 2:

Avg = (11^61 + 11^63)/2

From the numerator, we can factor out 11^61 from each term:

Avg = [11^61(1 + 11^2)]/2

Avg = [11^61(122)]/2

Avg = (11^61)(61)

D. 62(11^62)
E. 63(11^63)

Average = (11^61 + 11^63)/2

Let's simplify: (11^61 + 11^63)
Factor to get: 11^61(1 + 11^2)
Evaluate to get: 11^61(1 + 121)
Simplify: 11^61(122)

So the average = (11^61 + 11^63)/2 = (11^61)(122)/2 = (11^61)(61)

Average: \(\frac{Sum }{ Total}\)

=> Average: \(\frac{(11^{61} + 11^{63})}{ 2}\)

=> Average: \(\frac{[11^{61}(1 + 11^{2})]}{ 2}\)

=> Average: \(\frac{[11^{61}(1 + 121)]}{ 2} \)

=> Average: \(\frac{(11^{61}*122)]}{ 2}\)

=> Average: \(11^{61}*61\)
