Answer:

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{n}  = a_{n-1} - 3

we have to find formula for nth term of series for this problem

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{2}  = a_{2-1} - 3 = a_{1}  -3 =  12 -3 = 9\\a_{3}  = a_{3-1} - 3 = a_{2}  -3 =  9 -3 = 6

Thus, we see series is 12, 9 ,6

Thus, we can see that series is decreasing by unit of 3.

and we know that when there is in increase or decrease in series by a a constant number then series is arithmetic progression series.

Hence, this is a decreasing AP series

In AP

nth term is given

nth term = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

common difference is given by = nth term - (n-)th term

lets take 2nd and 1st term to get common difference.

d = 9-12 = -3

(note: this was obvious by looking at series itself that d is -3 as series was decreasing by 3 unit)

a = 12

thus, nth term = a +(n-1)d

nth term = 12 +(n-1)(-3)

nth term = 12 -3(n-1)

writing this in form of a_{n}

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)  Answer

If 2x + 5 = 8x, then 12x = ?A.5B.10C.15D.20
butalik [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>10.\text{ Option B is correct}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given the equation expressed as:

2x+5=8x

First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.

Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 2x+5-5=8x-5 \\ 2x+\cancel{5}-\cancel{5}=8x-5 \\ 2x=8x-5 \end{gathered}

Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides

\begin{gathered} 2x-8x=8x-8x-5 \\ -6x=\cancel{8x}-\cancel{8x}-5 \\ -6x=-5 \end{gathered}

Step 4: Divide both sides by -6

\begin{gathered} \frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-5}{-6} \\ x=\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}

Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:

\begin{gathered} 12x=12(\frac{5}{6}) \\ 12x=\cancel{12}^2(\frac{5}{\cancel{6}^1}) \\ 12x=2\times5 \\ 12x=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore the value of 12x is 10

Complete Question

Question: In the bronze medal game of the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup... In the bronze medal game of the 2014 FIBA Asia Cup, and with his team down by two points, Philippines guard Paul Dalistan was fouled while attempting a three-pointer at the buzzer. He missed the shot and headed to the line for three foul shots.

1. Watch the video of Dalistan preparing to take his first shot. Before he shoots, what is the probability that Philippines will win the game? Lose the game? Send it into overtime? Dalistan’s free throw percentage is 84.6%

Answer:

a

    The probability that Philippines will win the game is   P(A) =  0.6055

b

   The probability that Philippines will lose the game is P(B) =  0.00365

c

  The probability that the game will be sent to overtime  is P(C) =  0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  probability of  Paul Dalistan making a shot is  p  =  0.846

   The probability of  Paul Dalistan not making the shot is  q =  1- p  =  1-  0.846=0.154

     Paul Dalistan team was down by two points

This mean that for Paul Dalistan's  team to win the game he must make the 3 free throws

So the probability that Philippines will win the game is mathematically represented as

    P(A) =   p^3

=>  P(A) =  0.846^3

=>  P(A) =  0.6055

Gnerally for Paul Dalistan's  team to loss the game it means that Paul Dalistan did not make any of the free shot

Hence the probability that Philippines will loss the game is  

     P(B) =  q^3

=>  P(B) =  (0.154 )^3

=>  P(B) =  0.00365

Generally for the game to be sent to overtime  then the game must be tied and for the game to be tied, Paul Dalistan have to make 2 out of the three shots

   Hence the probability that game will go to overtime is  

          P(C) =  3 *  0.846 *  0.154  *  0.154

         P(C) =  0.06

Jerome will also order t-shirt for the volunteers he will order both adults and child size t shirt
RideAnS [48]

a >= 200

5 a + 2.5 c <=1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let c be the number of child t shirt and a be the number of adult t-shirts

Given the cost of adult t-shirt is $5 and the cost of child t-shirt is $2.50

Step 2 :

Inequality 1

Given that Jerome needs at least 200 adult t-shirts .

So the minimum quantity of adult t-shirts should be 200

Hence we have a >= 200

Step 3 :

Inequality 2

Given that the total cost should be less that $1500

We have,

5 a + 2.5 c <=1500
