Answer:

Final answer is c. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find about what is the first term in the sequence for which d = -2 and a7 = 3

We will use nth term formula of arithmetic sequence.

$a_n=a+\left(n-1\right)d$

we have been given a7 that means 7th term is 3

so plug n=7, d=-2 and a_n=3 into above formula

$3=a+\left(7-1\right)(-2)$

$3=a+6(-2)$

$3=a-12$

$15=a$

Hence final answer is c. 15

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

 $- 48 {x}^{6} + 16 {x}^{5} - 20 {x}^{2}$ 

Option D is the correct option.

Solution,

 $- 4 {x}^{2} (12 {x}^{4} - 4 {x}^{3} + 5) \\ = - 4 {x}^{2} \times 12 {x}^{4} + 4 {x}^{2} \times 4 {x}^{3} - 4 {x}^{2} \times 5 \\ = - 48 {x}^{6} + 16 {x}^{5} - 20 {x}^{2}$ 

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer:

7. B 8. C 9. C

Step-by-step explanation:

7. y is greater than because the area above the line is shaded and since the line is dashed there it's not greater than or equal to.

8. C provides the correct y values for all of the x values.

9. The point (6, 3) produces -3 ≥ -8 which is the only one that is correct out of all the points provided.

Select each of the following experiments that are binomial experiments:

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a) No.

b) Yes.

c) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) No.

As being without replacement, the probabilities of each color in each draw change depending on the previous draws.

This is best modeled by an hypergeometric distribution.

b) Yes.

As being with replacement, the probabilities for each color is constant.

Also, there are only two colors, so the "success", with probability p, can be associated with the color red, and the "failure", with probability (1-p), with the color blue, for example.

(With more than two colors, it should be "red" and "not red", allowing only two possibilities).

c) Yes.

The answer is binary (Yes or No) and the probabilities are constant, so it can be represented as a binomial experiment.
