Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a(n) =  (-1)^(n+1)   *   ( 2 ^ (2n+1) )                    where n = 0, 1, 2, etc.

Discussion:

-2 =   (-1) * 2^1

8 =    (+1) 2^3

-32 = (-1) * 2^5

128 = (+1)* 2^7


In general,

a(n) =  (-1)^(n+1)  *   (2 ^ (2n+1))                    where n = 0, 1, 2, etc.


Regards,  

MrB

P.S.  I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!

Chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies are randomly chosen from a cookie jar and placed onto a plate. The first plate had four
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

3 peanut cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Plate 1:

Number of chocolate chip = 4

Number of peanut butter cookies = 1

Probability of drawing chocolate chip cookies from plate 1 :

Probability =( number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(chocolate chip) = 4 / 5

Plate 2:

Number of chocolate chip = 2

Number of peanut butter cookies = p

P(chocolate chip) = 2 / (2 + p)

Probability of drawing chocolate chip from plate 1 and then plate 2 = 8/ 25

(4/5) * 2/(2+p) = 8/ 25

8 / (10 + 5p) = 8/ 25

8(10 + 5p) = 8 * 25

80 + 40p = 200

40p = 200 - 80

40p = 120

p = 3

The value of y varies directly with x2, and y = 150 when x = 5.<br> What is the value of y when x=3?
kow [346]
<span>The value of y when x=3 when the value of y varies directly with x^2, and y = 150 when x = 5 is 54. Since the value of y varies directly with x2, then: y = k * x^2, where k is constant. When y = 150 and x = 5, the value of constant is: 150 = k * 5^2. 150 = k * 25. k = 150/25. k = 6. Thus, when x = 3, the value of y will be: y = 6 * 3^2. y = 6 * 9. y = 54.</span>

Can somebody please help me
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The probability of drawing the first pink ball is \frac{3}{10}.

Because you drew that first pink ball, there are two pink balls left and the total number of balls left is nine.

Hence, the probability of drawing another pink ball after drawing the first pink ball would be:

\frac{3}{10} *\frac{2}{9} =\frac{1}{15}
