Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn

as are indistinguishable. If we lay all the antennas down in a row, how many linear orderings are there in which no two defectives are consecutive?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of antenna is 15

Defective antenna is 3

The functional antenna is 15-3=12.

Now, if no two defectives are to be consecutive, then the spaces between the functional antennas must each contain at most one defective antenna.

So,

We line up the 13 good ones, and see where the bad one will fits in

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each of the places where there's a line is an available spot for one (and no more than one!) bad antenna.

Then,

There are 14 spot available for the defective and there are 3 defective, so the arrange will be combinational arrangement

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The number of arrangement is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

14C3=364ways

What is the closed linear form for this sequence given a1 = 0.3 and an + 1 = an + 0.75?
german

Answer:

The closed linear form of the given sequence is a_{n}=0.75n-0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the first term a_{1}=0.3 and a_{n+1}=a_{n}+0.75

To find the closed linear form for the given sequence

The formula for arithmetic sequence is

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d  (where d is the common difference)

The above equation is of the given form  a_{n+1}=a_{n}+0.75

Comparing this we get d=0.75

With a_{1}=0.3 and d=0.75

We can substitute these values in a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n - 1)d

=0.3+(n-1)(0.75)

=0.3+0.75n-0.75

=-0.45+0.75n

Rewritting as below

=0.75n-0.45

Therefore a_{n}=0.75n-0.45

Therefore the closed linear form of the given sequence is a_{n}=0.75n-0.45

What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, −20, 100, …?
sveta [45]
First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula: r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}. For our sequence, we can infer that a_{n}=-20 and a_{n-1}=4. So lets replace those values in our formula:
r= \frac{-20}{4}
r=-5

Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the  explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula: a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}. We know that a_{1}=4; we also know for our previous calculation that r=-5. So lets replace those values in our formula:
a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace n with 9 in our explicit formula:
a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}
a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}
a_{9}=1562500

We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>1,562,500</span>
