Answer:

P(x

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call x the number of correct questions obtained in the 9 attempts, then:

x is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a binomial probability distribution p, with n = 9 trials.

So, the p of x successes has the following formula.

P(x) =\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Where:

n = 9

p = 0.6

We are looking for P(x<4)

By definition:

P(x

Then:

P(x\leq3)=\sum_{x=0}^{3} \frac{9!}{x!(9-x)!}*(0.6)^x(1-0.6)^{9-x}

P(x\leq3)=0.0994

❅☃ To find a function you need to look at the x values, if one of the same x value is repeated more then once, it is considered a non function.
❅☃ Option A:
-14
-9
-1
4
6
As you can see no repeated values.
Therefore A is already our function but lets look at the others just in case. 
❅☃ Option B
-2
1
9
9
15
9 was repeated therefore it is a non function.
❅☃ Option C
-4
6
6
7
9
6 was again repeated. Non function.
❅☃ And lastly, D.
-16
-11
10
10
16
10 was reapted. Non function.

Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

lim x approaches -6     (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)

Rationalize

   (sqrt( 10-x) -4)      (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

    ------------------- * -------------------

       (x+6)                 (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2

a= ( sqrt(10-x)   b = 4    

(10-x) -16

-------------------

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)    

-6-x

-------------------

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Factor out -1 from the numerator

-1( x+6)

-------------------

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator

-1

-------------------

(sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Now take the limit

lim x approaches -6    -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

                                      -1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)

                                      -1/ (sqrt(16) +4)

                                      -1 /( 4+4)

                                        -1/8

The first term of a geometric series is -3, the common ratio is 6, and the sum of the series is -4,665. Using a table of values,
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Option A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

First term (a) = –3

Common ratio (r) = 6

Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665

Number of term (n) =?

The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:

Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1

–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5

Cross multiply

–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]

Divide both side by –3

–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1

7775 = 6ⁿ – 1

Collect like terms

7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ

7776 = 6ⁿ

Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base

6⁵ = 6ⁿ

n = 5

Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.
