nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence: 4, 8, 16 . . .

The formula to find the nth term of geometric sequence is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

Where a_n is nth term

a_1 is 1st term

and r is common ratio

Finding a_1 and r in the sequence 4,8,16,...

$a_1=4\\r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}\\r=\frac{8}{4}\\r=2$

So, common ratio r is: 2 and a_1 is 4

The nth term is:

$a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

So, nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

PLEASE HELP!!!! Find the value of -7 - 8 - (-8) - 7. 0 14 -14 -30

miskamm [114]

-7 - 8 - (-8) - 7 × 0(14) - 14 - 30

(I think that's what that says)

Do PEMDAS

0(14) = 0

-7 × 0 = 0

You're left with -7 - 8 - (-8) - 14 - 30

Go from left to right

-7 - 8 = -15

-15 - (-8) = -7

-7 - 14 = -21

-21 - 30 = -51

Answer: (i) 1/221 (ii) 11/221 (iii) 95/663 (iv) 1/663

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) A deck of cards contains 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Kings out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 3 remaining Kings out of 51 total remaining cards → 3/51 = 1/17

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

King: P(K) = 1/13 King: P(K₂/K₁) = 1/17 King, King (1/13) x (1/17) = 1/221

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, & 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 12 Face cards out of 52 total cards → 12/52 = 3/13

2nd draw: 11 remaining Face cards out of 51 total remaining cards → 11/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Face: P(F) = 3/13 Face: P(F₂/F₁) = 11/51 Face,Face (3/13) x (11/51) = 11/221

*************************************************************************************************

(iiI) A deck of cards contains 26 black cards out of 52 total cards but there are 2 black Jacks, 2 black Queens, and 2 black Kings.

1st draw: 20 Black (not Face) cards out of 52 total cards → 20/52 = 5/13

2nd draw: 19 remaining Black (not Face) cards out of 51 total remaining cards → 19/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Black: P(B~) = 5/13 Black: P(B~₂/B~₁) = 19/51 B~,B~ (5/13) x (19/51) = 95/663

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Aces out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Aces out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 1 Queen of Hearts out of 51 total remaining cards → 1/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Ace: P(A) = 1/13 Qh: P(Qh₂/A₁) = 1/51 Ace,Queen(h) (1/13) x (1/51) = 1/663
