I think you are asking for RT.

5x+17+8x-31

13x-14

5x+17=8x-31

+5x =+5x

17=12x-31

+31= +31

48=12x

4=x

RS=5(4)+17=37

Determine the first four terms of the sequence in which the nth term is a_n=(n+1)!/(n+2)!

Vilka [71]

Answer: Choice B) 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6

=============================================

Plug in n = 1 to find the first term

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_1 = ( (1+1)! )/( (1+2)! )

a_1 = ( 2! )/( 3! )

a_1 = ( 2*1 )/( 3*2*1 )

a_1 = 2/6

a_1 = 1/3

The first term is 1/3. Optionally you can stop here because only choice B has 1/3 listed as the first term, so this must be the answer. However, I'm going to keep going to show how to find the three other terms. This will help confirm why choice B is the answer, and it will be handy for those times when you aren't given multiple choice answers.

------------

Plug in n = 2

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_2 = ( (2+1)! )/( (2+2)! )

a_2 = ( 3! )/( 4! )

a_2 = ( 3*2*1 )/( 4*3*2*1 )

a_2 = 6/24

a_2 = 1/4

The second term is 1/4

------------

Plug in n = 3

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_3 = ( (3+1)! )/( (3+2)! )

a_3 = ( 4! )/( 5! )

a_3 = ( 4*3*2*1 )/( 5*4*3*2*1 )

a_3 = 24/120

a_3 = 1/5

The third term is 1/5

------------

Plug in n = 4

a_n = ( (n+1)! )/( (n+2)! )

a_4 = ( (4+1)! )/( (4+2)! )

a_4 = ( 5! )/( 6! )

a_4 = ( 5*4*3*2*1 )/( 6*5*4*3*2*1 )

a_4 = 120/720

a_4 = 1/6

The fourth term is 1/6

------------

The first four terms are: 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, so that confirms why choice B is the answer.

⦁ A sphere is inscribed in a cube with a volume of 27 cm3. What is the volume of the sphere?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

≈ 14.14 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the side length of the cube.

V=S³

27=S³

∛27=∛s³

3=S

Then the volume of the sphere.

V= $\frac{4}{3}$ × π(pi) × r³(radius cubed)

V= $\frac{4}{3}$ × π(pi) × (1.5³)

= $\frac{9}{2}$ π cm³ ≈ 14.14 cm³

P(Girl Sophomore) :<br> =[?]

marusya05 [52]

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability being a Sophomore given she is a girl is 1/3.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

$\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}$

The probability of being a girl and Sophomore is 9/37. While the probability of being a girl is 27/37. Therefore, the probability being a Sophomore given she is a girl is,

P(Girl l Sophomores) = P(Girl and Sophomore)/ P(Girl)

= (9/37) / (27/37)

= 9 / 27

= 1/3

Hence, the probability being a Sophomore given she is a girl is 1/3.
