Answer:

36, 12, 4, 4/3, 4/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find each term by substituting the sequence number.

So the first term (where n = 1)

= 36(1/3)^(1-1)

=  36(1/3)^0

=  36 * 1

= 36.  

The second term is 36(1/3)^(2-1)  = 36 * 1/3

= 12.

We can  find subsequent terms by just multiplying the previous term by 1/3 so the third term = 12 * 1/3 = 4.

So the first 5 terms are   36, 12, 4, 4/3, 4/9.

Answer:

G1=36,G2=12,G3=4,G4=4/3,G5=4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the nth term is given by;

Gn= 36(1/3)^n-1, then, substitute the values of n as 1,2,3,4 and 5 to get the values of G1,G2,G3,G4 and G5 respectively.

G1=36(1/3)^1-1 = 36

G2= 36(1/3)^2-1= 12

G3= 36(1/3)^3-1 = 4

G4= 36(1/3)^4-1 = 4/3

G5= 36(1/3)^5-1=4/9

Suppose a game of 3-D tic tac toe is played on a 6x6x6 cube. How many winning lines of 6-in-a-row are there through the cube?
schepotkina [342]
On a cube of side k and n dimensions, there are
[(k+2)ⁿ - kⁿ] / 2 
winning lines.

In your case,
k = 6
n = 3

Therefore:
[<span>(6+2)³ - 6³] / 2 
= (8</span>³ - 6³) / 2 
= (512 - 216) / 2 
= 148

Hence, there are 148 6-in-a-row winning lines through the cube.

Divide 63(p4 + 5p3 – 24p2 ) by 9p(p + 8)​
kirill [66]

Answer:

We have,

\frac{63(p^4 + 5p^3 - 24p^2)}{ 9p(p + 8)}

=\frac{63p^2(p^2 + 5p - 24)}{9p(p + 8}

=\frac{7p(p^2 + 5p - 24)}{(p + 8)}

Splitting the middle term, we get

=\frac{7p(p^2 + 8p-3p - 24)}{(p + 8)}

=7p[\frac{p(p+8)-3(p+8)}{(p+8)} ]

=7p[\frac{(p+8)(p-3)}{p+8}]

=7p(p-3)

Hence the solution is 7p(p-3).

The five posters made for spirit week are being hung in the front hall. What is the probability the largest poster will be in th
Leto [7]

Answer:

1/20 or 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that all five posters are different, the number of ways to randomly place those posters is given by:

N=5*4*3*2*1 = 120\ ways

If we want the largest to be in the center and the next largest to be on its left, two poster will have a set position and only three could be randomized:

n=3*2*1*1*1=6\ ways

Therefore, the probability is:

P=\frac{n}{N}=\frac{6}{120} =\frac{1}{20} =0.05

The probability is 1/20 or 0.05.
