The rule of a geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

We have:

a_1=6;\ r=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Find a_8=?\to n=8

substitute:

a_8=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{8-1}=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^7=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{2187}\right)=-\dfrac{2}{729}

Answer:

The probability of rolling a 3 and then a 5 is 1/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a six sided die is an independent event.  That means for each roll, you have the same chance of rolling a number as the previous roll.  Since there are six different numbers on a die, then there are six different outcomes for each roll - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.  The chances that you would roll a '3' is 1 out of 6, or 1/6.  The chances that you would roll a '5' is also 1 out of 6, or 1/5.  However, when we combine these events, we need to take each probability and multiply them.  So, the probability of rolling a '3' and then a '5' is 1/6 x 1/6 or 1/36.

Olivia hikes at a consistent rate of 3 mph. If she hikes for 6 hours, how far will she have traveled?
Step2247 [10]
We can use the distance = rate times time formula.

This formula states that if you travel at a constant rate for a certain amount of time, you will know the distance that you traveled.

We know the rate is 3 mph and she hiked for 6 hours.

distance = 3 * 6
distance = 18

So, she traveled 18 miles.
