why do whole numbers raised to an exponet get greater while fractions raised to an exponet get smaller

1 answer:

8 0

Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2

And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100

If you take -3/10 of a number and add 1, you get 10. Write an equation to represent the situation. What is the original number?

Basile [38]

Equation - x = -3/10 + (10－1）

The original number is 9.3 because
x = -3/10 + (10－1）
x = -3/10 + 9
x = 9.3

Two athletic teams play a series of games; the first team to win 4 games is declared the overall winner. Suppose that one of the

Answer:

p=0.7103 (4-game series)
p=0.6480 (2-game series)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

$P(X=4)={{i-1}\choose {4-1}}0.6^40.4^{i-4},\ i=4,5,6,7$

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

$P(X=4)={3\choose 3}0.6^4=0.1296\\\\P(X=5)={4\choose 3}0.6^40.4^1=0.2074\\\\P(X=6)={5\choose 3}0.6^40.4^2=0.2074\\\\P(X=4)={6\choose 3}0.6^40.4^3=0.1659$
