What is a 15 of the sequence -7, 2, 11, ...? A. 128 B. 110 C. 136 D. 119

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

D. 119

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, we take the second term and subtract the first term

2-(-7) = 9

We check by taking the third term and subtracting the second

11-2 = 9

The common difference is 9

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 +d(n-1)

where a1 is the first term, d is the common difference and n is the number of the term in the sequence

a1=-7, d=9 and we are looking for the 15th term so n=15

a15 = -7 +9(15-1)

a15 = -7+9(14)

=-7 +126

= 119

Answer: x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines are parallel, which you can tell by the two arrows. 4x-8 is a corresponding angle to 3x+3, meaning they are congruent.

4x-8 = 3x+3

x=11

This is a binomial experiment and you'll use the binomial probability distribution because:

There are two choices for each birth. Either you get a girl or you get a boy. So there are two outcomes to each trial. This is where the "bi" comes from in "binomial" (bi means 2).
Each birth is independent of any other birth. The probability of getting a girl is the same for each trial. In this case, the probability is p = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
There are fixed number of trials. In this case, there are 5 births so n = 5 is the number of trials.

Since all of those conditions above are met, this means we have a binomial experiment.

Some textbooks may split up item #2 into two parts, but I chose to place them together since they are similar ideas.
