The geometric sequence is found in the relationship between consecutive terms that is constant.
In this problem, as I understand it, none of the functions forms a geometric sequence.
The functions that form a geometric sequence have the form
f (x) = h (a) ^ n where "a" is the constant relation between the successive terms.
If you wrote the function "f (x) = - 2 (3/4) x", you wanted to write instead:
f (x) = - 2 (3/4) ^ x
So that would be the function that forms a geometric sequence, where the relation between the consecutive terms is 3/4.
You can test it by dividing f (x) / f (x-1)
Then you will see that the result of that division will be 3/4.
Answer:
There are 15 letters, but if the two A's must always be together, that's the same as if they're just one letter, so our "base count" is 14! ; note that this way of counting means that we also don't need to worry about compensating for "double counting" identical permutations due to transposition of those A's, because we don't "count" both transpositions. However, that counting does "double count" equivalent permutations due to having two O's, two N's, and two T's, so we do need to compensate for that. Therefore the final answer is 14!/(23)=10,897,286,400
The probability of choosing Joey first is 1/12 .
If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is 1/11 .
Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is 1/10 .
The probability of all these things happening is
(1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10)
= 1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent
I believe you cant fix one rather you need a new one. It runs about 300 plus labor
