The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -

In a shipment of 22 smartphones, 2 are defective. How many ways can a quality control inspector randomly test 4 smartphones, of
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Therefore the required ways are =190

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination: Combination is the number of selection of items from a collection of items where the order of selection does not matter.

Total number of smartphones =22

Defective phone = 2

Non defective phone = (22-2) =20

The control inspector randomly test 4 smartphones of which 2 are defective.

Non defective phone = 2

The ways to select 2 non defective phone is

^{20}C_2=\frac{20!}{2!(20-2)!} =\frac{20!}{2!18!}=\frac{19\times 20}{2} =190

The ways to select 2 defective phone is= ^2C_2=1

Therefore the required ways are = (190×1) =190

Please help will mark BRAINLIEST!!!
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

b, c, a

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side. The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side.

This triangle has 2 given angles, 50° and 60°.

We can find the measure of the third angle, x.

50 + 60 + x = 180

x + 110 = 180

x = 70

The three angles have measures 50°, 60°, and 70°.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle. That is side a.

The longest side is opposite the largest angle. That is side b.

The order from longest to shortest is

b, c, a

Step-by-step explanation:

The ingredients for a fizzzy drink is 5 parts lime juice and 3 parts lemonade

Therefore, we have a total portion of 5 + 3 = 8 parts

Since there ar more parts of lime juice per fizzy drink, we calculate based on lime juice

Also dividing the proportions by we get

5/5 part lime juice and 3/5 parts lemonade or

1 part lime juice and 3/5 parts lemonade or

Thus we have 300 ml lime juice and 3/5× 300 ml lemonade or

300 ml lime juice and 180 ml lemonade = 480

The greatest amount of fizzy drink he can make = 480 ml.

Questions like this require that you try different combinations of operations on the numbers shown to see if you can find a relationship. Here, the left column is a perfect square, so that is a clue. The difference of the numbers in the middle columns is a factor of the number in the right column -- another clue. It takes a certain amount of creative thought and familiarity with arithmetic facts. There is no "step-by-step" for a problem like this.
