The 20th term of the sequence is 62.

The given sequence;

$a_n = 5 + 3 (n-1)$

A sequence is a set of numbers that increases or decrease in a particular order.

To determine the nth term of a sequence it is important to understand the definition of the given sequence.

Then substitute accordingly the value of the nth term and simply to obtain the required sequence.

The 20th term of the sequence is calculated as follows;

$a_{20} = 5 + 3(20 -1)\\\\a_2_0 = 5+ 3(19)\\\\a_{20} = 62$

Thus, the 20th term of the sequence is 62.

You must subtract all terms of the numerator being subtracted out, not just the first term.

The negative 2 should have been subtracted out to get a numerator of x+1-x+2

The simplified numerator of the difference should be 3, not –1.

Show that in any group of 101 people there are at least two persons having the same number friends (It is assumed that if a pers

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that if possible in the group of 101, each had a different number of friends. Then the no of friends 101 persons have 0,1,2,....100 only since number of friends are integers and non negative.

Say P has 100 friends then P has all other persons as friends. In this case, there cannot be any one who has 0 friend. So a contradiction. Hence proved

Part ii: EVen if instead of 101, say n people are there same proof follows as

if different number of friends then they would be 0,1,2...n-1

If one person has n-1 friends then there cannot be any one who does not have any friend.

Thus same proof follows.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit would be the sum of all the possibility multiplied. It means,

<em>"We need to multiply the profit by its possibility and add it with the product of the loss and its possibility."</em>

<em />

This will be the expectation, or expected profit.

Let's do it:

Expected Profit = $(26,000)(0.7) + (-8000)(0.3) = 15,800$

The correct answer is A
