Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Fifth term of a geometric sequence = 
Common ratio (r) = ¼
Required:
Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence
Solution:
Step 1: find the first term of the sequence
Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence =
, where:
a = first term
r = common ratio = ¼
Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.
Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.




Cross multiply

Divide both sides by 16



Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence
nth term = 
nth term = 

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
i don't see options to select from but my guess would be 8 because 7/8 is very close to being one and 8 1/10 is close to 8; 8 x 1 = 8
Answer:
Option B. 
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Solve for w
That means ----> isolate the variable w
Multiply by 5 both sides to remove the fraction

subtract 8 both sides

Answer:
Probability to get tails exactly 8 times or exactly 5 times is 0.29
Step-by-step explanation:
No of ways the coins lands tails exactly 8 times
P(8) = 15C8 ×
× 
No of ways the coin lands tails exactly 5 times
P(5) = 15C5 ×
× 
Probability to get tails exactly 8 times or 5 times
P(8)+P(5) = 15C8 ×
+ 15C5 × 
P =
( 15C8 + 15C5 )
P =
( (
) + (
) )
P =
( 6435 + 3003 )
P =
( 9438)
P =
( 4719)
P = 
P = 0.29
