Step-by-step explanation:
Next term is - 51
Use formula Tn=a+(n-1)d
a=the first term of the sequence which is - 15
d=the difference between the terms which is - 9
Substitute
Tn=-15+(n-1)(-9)
Tn=-15+9-9n
Tn=-9n-6
From this you will be able to generate all the terms in the pattern
If they say determine the 50th term just substitute 50 by n
Tn=-9(50)-6
Tn=-450-6
Tn=-456
The first cube can land in any one of 6 ways.
The second cube can land in any one of 6 ways.
Total number of ways that 2 dice can land = (6 x 6) = 36 ways.
For any of these ways, the sum of the numbers rolled is 9 :
3, 6
4, 5
5, 4
6, 3
There are 4 ways to roll a 9, out of a total of 36 ways that
the dice can land. So the probability of rolling a 9 is
4 / 36 = 1 / 9 = <em>11-1/9 percent</em>
