Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an overlap problem. First we have that 1/8 total tried out for football team, 1/6 total tried out for baseball team and 1/12 of the students that tried out for both football and baseball team.

So if we want to find those who just tried football, we perform the following operation:

1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24.

So we know that 1/24 tried out just football.

If we want to find all those who tried out just for baseball, we perform the following operation:

1/6 - 1/12 = 1/12

So we know that 2/24 (1/12 multiplied by two) tried  for both football and baseball and 3/24 tried out for football, it means that 2/3 of the boys who tried football also tried baseball.

Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 4, -24, 144, ....
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Tn = 4(-6)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 4, -24, 144, ....

The sequence is a geometric sequence

Tn = ar^n-1

a is the first term

a = 4

r = -24/4 =144/-24

r = -6

Substitute

Tn = 4(-6)^n-1

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of stitches in width is 108, if 9 inches is the total inches in width. The remaining stitches of the remaining width (if this is the case) would be 84 stitches. If we are combining 9 and 2, the total amount of stitches would be 132. If you would like the work, you can ask otherwise hope this helped!

The point below will be reflected over the line y = x and then translated two units left and one unit up.5421-5-4-3-2-10234-1-2-
charle [14.2K]

A reflection over the line y=x implies exchanging the x and y coordinates of a point. For example if you take a generic point (a,b) then its reflection over y=x is (b,a). Our point is (-1,3) so its reflection over y=x is the point (3,-1).

Then we have to translate it two units left. Translating a point left means that we are moving towards negative x values so we need to substract 2 from the x coordinate:

(3,-1)\rightarrow(3-2,-1)=(1,-1)

Finally we have to translate it 1 unit up towards positive y values so we have to add 1 to its y coordinate:

(1,-1)\rightarrow(1,-1+1)=(1,0)

And these are the final coordinates. In the following picture you have the points you get after each step (from A to D) with the y=x line in blue:
