Answer:
a_0 = -27
a_n = a_(n-1) * (-1/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
First evaluate given formula at n=0 and specify that as starting value
Then find how to get from n-1 to n by comparing two values. In this case the next value is formed by multiplying by -1/3.
Complete question :
Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:
5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :
5 / 6 = 0.8333
Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;
5/6 = 0.8333
To the nearest tenth :
0.8

Here we are dealing with combinations without repetitions.
Let's write the form of a name.
For names starting with W:
W _ _ _
For names starting with K:
K _ _ _
We are allowed to use only lettrs from F to X. That's total of 19 letters. We are not allowed to repeat letters so for each letter we can choose from one less available letters.
Let's start with names begining with W. We will write how man possible letters we can choose from.
W 18 17 <span>16
</span>At second possition we can choose from 18 letters because we must not repeat letters and W is placed in front of X in alphabet.
At third position we can choose from 17 letters becasue we already chose two of 19 possible letters.
At fourth position we can choose from 16 letters becasue we already chose three of 19 possible letters.
To calculate total number of possible names we need to multiply these numbers:
1 * 18 * 17 * 16 = 4896
Same calculation can be done for names starting with K. We would get same number as solution.
Total number of possible names starting with W or K is 4896 + 4896 = 9792
