The slope of AC is -0.4
Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)
Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1
Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)
If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
in a geometric sequence there is a constant factor x that is multiplied with every previous term to create the next one.
a2 = 20
a5 = 1280 = a2×x×x×x = a2×x³ = 20x³
64 = x³
x = 4
=> a1 = 5
therefore
an = an-1×4 =
n > 1
Subtract the chance they have of winning from 100%:
100% - 14% = 86% chance of not winning.
