Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric series, the successive terms differ by a common ratio which is determined by dividing a term by the preceding term.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the seies shown,
a = 28
r = 98/28 = 343/98 = 3.5
The formula representing the nth term of the given sequence would be expressed as
Tn = 28 × (3.5)^(n - 1)
To get rid of
, you have to take the third root of both sides:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1%7D%20)
But that won't help you with understanding the problem. It is better to write
as a product of 2 polynomials:
From this we know, that
is the solution. Another solutions (complex roots) are the roots of quadratic equation.
P(no girls in five births) = p(five boys) = (1/2)^5 = 1/32 = 0.0313
An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides
assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent
ok, solve initial
x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation
-x-y=-1
<u>x-3y=9 +</u>
0x-4y=8
-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2
sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3
x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)
if we test it in other one
2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep
2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep
solution is (3,-2)
