It is an rational number. A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio or fraction.
The bakery start with 2954 cherry
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
A bakery made 26 cherry pies, using 115 cherries for each pie
So they used 115 cherry for each pie
26 cherry pies, 115 cherry per pie
Therefore,
Number of cherries used = 26 x 115 = 2990 cherries used
They threw away 36 cherries that were bad
36 cherry were bad
2990 - 36 = 2954
Thus they start with 2954 cherries
Answer: choice B) a35 = -118
=====================================================
Explanation:
When n = 5, an = 32 as shown in the first column of the table. This means the fifth term is 32. Plug in those values to get
an = a1+d(n-1)
32 = a1+d(5-1)
32 = a1+4d
Solve for a1 by subtracting 4d from both sides
a1 = 32-4d
We'll plug this in later
Turn to the second column of the table. We have n = 10 and an = 7. Plug those values into the formula
an = a1+d(n-1)
7 = a1 + d(10-1)
7 = a1+9d
Now substitute in the equation in which we solved for a1
7 = a1+9d
7 = 32-4d+9d ... replace a1 with 32-4d
7 = 32+5d
5d = 7-32
5d = -25
d = -25/5
d = -5
This tells us that we subtract 5 from each term to get the next term.
Use this d value to find a1
a1 = 32-4d
a1 = 32-4*(-5)
a1 = 32+20
a1 = 52
The first term is 52
--------------
The nth term formula is therefore
an = 52 + (-5)(n-1)
which simplifies to
an = -5n + 57
To check this result, plug in n = 5 to find that a5 = 32. Similarly, you'll find that a10 = 7 after plugging in n = 10. I'll let you do these checks.
--------------
Replace n with 35 to find the 35th term
an = -5n + 57
a35 = -5(35) + 57
a35 = -175 + 57
a35 = -118
Answer:
Required probability equals 0.18%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that the primary and one auxiliary computer fails equals
1) Probability that A and B fails
2)Probability that A and C fails
Thus required probability equals
