2 times what = -4?
-2 does
-2 x 2 = -4

-4 time what = 8?
Again, -2.
-2 x -4 = 8

You could do this over and over again or make a table, or you can make a function.
f(n) = f(1) • r^{n-1}
f(1) in this case is 2.
f(n) = 2 • r^{n-1}
r is rate of change, which is -2.
f(n) = 2 • -2^{n-1}
To find the 12th number in the sequence, just substitute n for 12.
f(12) = 2 • -2^{12-1}
f(12) = 2 • -2^{11}
-2^11 = -2048
2 x -2048 = -4096
So the 12th number in the sequence will be -4096.

A bag contains three marbles, eight blue marbles and nine red marbles. If the marbles are picked at random, what is the probabil
Phoenix [80]

The probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement is equal to 0.15.

We are given that:

The number of yellow marbles = 3

Number of red marbles = 9

Number of Blue marbles = 8

Total marbles = 3 + 9 + 8

Total marbles = 20

Now, we have to calculate the probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement.

The probability will be:

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 8 / 20 × 7 / 19

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 56 / 380

P( obtaining two blue marbles without replacement )  = 0.15

Therefore, the probability of obtaining two blue marbles without replacement is equal to 0.15.

13-yard gain, what is the integer
stellarik [79]
Hmm, I'm confused...

An integer is a whole number. Right now you have +13 yards so I guess the answer is 13, idk for sure, lol.

What is the rate of change and initial value of the linear function modeled by a line passing through the points (0,8) and (3,-1
kumpel [21]
The rate of change is equal to rise over run
= (-1 - 8)÷(3 - 0)
= -9 ÷ 3
= -3

When you say initial value I'm assuming you mean the y-intercept

In that case you first need to find the equation of the line by substituting the gradient and point into the gradient intercept formula

y - 8 = -3(x - 0)
y = -3x + 8

The y-intercept is when x = 0 so,

y = -3(0) + 8
Therefore y = 8
