Answer: [tex]\ a_{n}=3(-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A geometric sequence with its first term [tex]a_1=a=3[/tex]
and second term [tex]a_2=-9[/tex]
We know that the common ratio in of a geometric sequence=[tex]\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}[/tex]
Thus, common ratio [tex]r=\frac{-9}{3}=-3[/tex]
We know that the explicit rule for geometric sequence is written as
[tex]a_{n}=ar^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow\ a_{n}=3(-3)^{n-1}..[\text{by substituting the values of 'a' and 'r' in it }][/tex]
Thus, the explicit rule for the given geometric sequence is [tex]\ a_{n}=3(-3)^{n-1}[/tex] for every n ,a natural number.
You are dealt two cards successively (without replacement) from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. find the probability that the first card is a king and the second card is a queen.
there are 4 kings and 4 queens in a deck
chance of getting a king is 1/52
chance of getting a queen without the king being put back would be 1/51
1/52 x 1/51 = 1/2652 probability
The probability of drawing first a king and then a queen from a standard deck without replacement is 0.603%, which is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of drawing a king and then a queen (1/13 * 4/51).
The student is asking about how to calculate the probability of drawing two specific cards from a deck of cards in succession without replacement. In a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of drawing a king first is 4/52 since there are four kings in the deck. After drawing a king, there are 51 cards left, and the probability of drawing a queen next is 4/51 because there are four queens in the deck. These events are dependent because the outcome of the second draw depends on the first.
To find the combined probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities of each event:
P(first card is a king) = 4/52
P(second card is a queen after drawing a king) = 4/51
So, the probability is (4/52) * (4/51), which simplifies to 1/13 * 4/51.
Combined probability = (1/13) * (4/51) = 4/663 = 0.006033182503770739, or about 0.603% when expressed as a percentage.
Find the coordinates of point S that lies along the directed line segment from R(-14, -1) to T(4, -13) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 1:5.
Answer: The required co-ordinates of the point S are (-11, -6).
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the co-ordinates of the point S that lies along the directed line segment from R(-14, -1) to T(4, -13) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 1:5.
We know that
the co-ordinates of a point that divides the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (c, d) in the ratio m : n is given by
[tex]\left(\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n},\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}\right).[/tex]
According to the given information, we have
(a, b) = (-14, -1), (c, d) = (4, -13) and m : n = 1 : 5.
Therefore, the co-ordinates of the point S are given by
[tex]\left(\dfrac{1\times4+5\times(-14)}{1+5},\dfrac{1\times(-13)+5\times(-1)}{}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{4-70}{6},\dfrac{-13-5}{6}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-66}{6},\dfrac{-18}{6}\right)\\\\=(-11,-3)[/tex]
Thus, the required co-ordinates of the point S are (-11, -6).
5. Given the following triangle side lengths, identify the triangle as acute, right or obtuse. Show your work. a. 3in, 4in, 5 in b. 5in, 6in, 7in c. 8in, 9in, 12in
The triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.
What is a triangle?A triangle is a three-sided polygon, which has three vertices. The three sides are connected with each other end to end at a point, which forms the angles of the triangle. The sum of all three angles of the triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
a) Given that, 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in.
By using Pythagoras theorem, we get
5²=3²+4²
25=9+16
25=25
So, the triangle is right triangle.
b) The given sides of triangle measures 5 in., 6 in. and 7 in.
To determine whether the triangle is acute, right, or obtuse, add the squares of the two smaller sides, and compare the sum to the square of the largest side.
7²<5²+6²
49<25+36
49<61
So, the triangle is acute angle triangle.
c) The given sides of triangle measures 8 in., 9 in. and 12 in.
12²>8²+9²
144>64+81
144>125
So, the triangle is obtuse angle triangle.
Therefore, the triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square.

Your little brother just learned how to flip and catch a coin. He believes that by catching the coin in mid-air, he can influence the probability that it will land heads up. Based on your understanding of theoretical probability, explain to your little brother why his theory of influence is false.
If a coin is fair then it has two faces , one is heads and the another is tails.
The probability getting any favorable outcomes is given by the formula :-
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]
So the factor effecting probability is just the number of favorable outcomes and total outcomes.
If a coin is tossed then the probability of getting heads will be :-
[tex]P(H)=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5=50\%[/tex]
To get heads always this should be 1 , which can be happen if number of favorable outcomes is equal to total outcomes.
i.e. Number of heads = Number of total outcomes, this means coin should be biased.
Catching the coin in mid-air can never be a factor for this.
Therefore, the little brother's theory is false.
Answer:
Sample Response: The probability of a coin landing heads up is 1/2, or 50%. That fact will not change if the coin is caught in midair.
Step-by-step explanation:

What is the algebraic expression for "the difference between seven times a number and three times that number"?
7 - 3x
7x - 3
7x - 3x
Answer:
(C)7x-3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The given algebraic expression is:
"The difference between seven times a number and three times that number"
Let the number be equal to =x, then according to the statement, we have
seven times a number=7x and three times that number=3x
The difference between seven times a number and three times that number=7x-3x
which is the required algebraic expression.
Hence, option C is correct.

It is rational and equal to 4.
It is rational and equal to 5.
It is irrational and equal to 5 multiplied by square root of 2.
It is irrational and equal to 4 multiplied by square root of 2.
Answer:
It is irrational and equal to [tex]5[/tex] multiplied by square root of [tex]2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]\sqrt{32}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Remember that
[tex]32=2^{5}[/tex]
substitute in the expression
[tex]\sqrt{2^{5}}+\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}=5\sqrt{2}[/tex]
therefore
It is irrational and equal to [tex]5[/tex] multiplied by square root of [tex]2[/tex]

HELP ME!!!! PLEASE!!!! Ughhh
Jorani flips two standard american quarters. how many ways can she get at least one head?
The length of a rectangle is 3 mm greater than the width. the area is 154 mm squared. find the length and the width.
area = l x w
l = w+3
sqrt(154) = 12.4 round o 12
12-1 = 11
11+3 = 14
11 * 14 = 154
width = 11
length = 14

you borrow $90 from your grandmother. you pay back $15 each week.
a. write an equation in standard for that represents the amount owed y after x weeks.
b. find the y intercept of the graph. what does this represent?
c. find the x intercept of the graph. what does this represent?
Answer: a) y = 90-15x
b) y = 90
c) x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Amount borrowed from his grandmother = $90
Amount he pay back each week = $15
Let the number of weeks be 'x'.
Let total amount owed be 'y'.
So, it becomes
[tex]y=90-15x[/tex]
a) write an equation in standard for that represents the amount owed y after x weeks.
Our equation is [tex]y=90-15x[/tex]
b. find the y intercept of the graph. what does this represent?
For this , we put x = 0.
[tex]y=90-15(0)\\\\y=90[/tex]
So, the y-intercept of the graph is 90.
It represents that the graph intersect y-axis at (0,90)
c. find the x intercept of the graph. what does this represent?
For this, we put y = 0.
[tex]0=90-15x\\\\90=15x\\\\x=\dfrac{90}{15}\\\\x=6[/tex]
So, the x intercept of the graph is 6.
It represents that the graph intersect the x-axis at (6,0)

Which of the following is the coefficient in the algebraic expression 8x+z^2
Answer:
The coefficients are 8 and 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the answer, we have to know about algebraic expressions.
An algebraic expression is conformed by terms or only one term.
A term is just a variable with a coefficient. Also similar terms have the same variable but no always the same coefficient. Therefore if the algebraic expression has two terms, so there are two coefficients. The coefficient with value "1" is not necessary write it.
In this case, we have two terms:
"x" variable."z" variable.So, we have two coefficients:
For x, the coefficient 8.For z, the coefficient 1.Finally, the coefficients are 8 and 1.
