Answer:

Answer: A. -976563

Step-by-step explanation:

Sn=sum of the n terms of the geometric sequence.

a= the first term

r=the common ratio

n=numbers of terms.

Sn=a[(1-r^n)/(1-r)]

In this case:

a=-3

r=a₂/a₁=15/-3=-5

n=9

S₉=-3[(1-(-5)⁹) / (1-(-5))=

S₉=-3(1+1953125)/6)=

S₉=-3(1953126/6)=

S₉=-3(325521)

S₉=-976563

-1.5(4-n)+2.8

multiply 4-n by -1.5
multiply to both the 4 and -n

-6+1.5n+2.8

add -6+2.8 since they are similar

-3.2+1.5n

1.5n-3.2

I believe this is the simplest form

Answer:

1. \dfrac{120}{285}=\dfrac{8}{19}

2. \dfrac{25}{285}=\dfrac{5}{57}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Russell is 5'9'' (under 6 feet). There are 130+120+35=285 players with the height under 6 feet and 120 of them are forwards. The probability that Russell is a forward is

\dfrac{120}{285}=\dfrac{8}{19}

2.  Peter is 6'2'' (over 6 feet). There are 25+30+30=85 players with the height over 6 feet and 25 of them are guards. The probability that Peter is a guard is

\dfrac{25}{285}=\dfrac{5}{57}

The ratio of tom’s age to Mary’s is 3:4.If Tom is 15 how old is Mary
AnnZ [28]
Hey there!

Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).

To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.

15 / 3 = 5

This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.

x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.

x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20

x = 20

Mary's age is 20.

I hope this helps!
