The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.
Answer:
4/25 or 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 ^ 2 = 4/25
2/5 x 2/5 = 4/25 or 0.16
Answer:
6x^2 + 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) + f(x)
= -8x^2 - 3x + 5 + 2x^2 + 7x - 5
= -8x^2 + 2x^2 - 3x + 7x + 5 - 5
= - 6x^2 + 4x
Total number of pastries = 54 + 31 + 10 = 95
Number of croissants = 10
Probability of picking a croissant = 10/95
On simplifying, we get, <u>2/19</u>
