Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so 2a-15=-1

step 1: Find 2a

2a=-1+15=14.

2a=14

Step : Find a

a=14/2

a=7.

Hope that helps :)

You have to isolate the a. Add fifteen to both sides of the equation, so it’s

2a=15-1

Then subtract 15 and 1, so then the quantity is 14

2a=14

Then divide 2 by both sides, and the answer is

a=7

In a circle, the arc is two times the length of the angle.

EFG = 98°

98 x 2 = 196

Minor arc EG = 196°

Hopefully this helps :)

How many ways are there to select a 5-card hand from a regular deck such that the hand contains at least one card from each suit

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There are 685464 ways of selecting the 5-card hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hand has 5 cards and there should be at least 1 card for each suit, then there should be 3 suits that appear once in the hand, and one suit that apperas twice.

In order to create a possible hand, first we select the suit that will appear twice. There are 4 possibilities for this. For that suit, we select the 2 cards that appear with the respective suit. Since there are 13 cards for each suit, then we have ${13 \choose 2} = 78$ possibilities. Then we pick one card of all remaining 3 suits. We have 13 ways to pick a card in each case.

This gives us a total of 4*78*13³ = 685464 possibilities to select the hand.

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}$ or $\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}$

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as $\displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n}$ meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:
