Answer:

2^{n-3} is the nth term of the given sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given is

\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2},1,2,4 .....

We can clearly see that 1st term is \frac{1}{4} and 2nd term is \frac{1}{2}

2nd term is obtained by multiplying the 1st term by 2.

2nd term is \frac{1}{2} and 3rd term is 1.

3rd term is obtained by multiplying the 2nd term by 2.

3rd term is 1 and 4th term is 2.

4th term is obtained by multiplying the 3rd term by 2.

Clearly, the given series is a <em>Geometric Progression(GP)</em> with

First term, a = \frac{1}{4}

Common Ratio, r = 2

We know that n^{th} term for a GP is:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

Putting values of <em>a</em> and <em>r</em>

a_n = \dfrac{1}{4}2^{n-1}\\a_n = \dfrac{1}{2^{2} }2^{n-1}\\a_n = 2^{n-1-2}\\a_n = 2^{n-3}

Hence, 2^{n-3} is the nth term of the given sequence.

Exit A five-sided solid has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. What is the probability of rolling two five-sided number solids and g
STALIN [3.7K]
To get a sum of 3, you must roll a 1 and a 2. To get a sum of 8, you must roll a 5 and 3, or two 4's.
There are two ways of rolling a 1 and a 2, two ways of rolling a 5 and a 3, and one way to roll two 4's.
There are 5^2=25 possible outcomes when rolling two such solids.

So the probability of getting a sum of 3 or 8 is \dfrac{2+2+1}{25}=\dfrac15

Please calculate this limit <br>please help me​
Tasya [4]

Answer:

We want to find:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{n!} }{n}

Here we can use Stirling's approximation, which says that for large values of n, we get:

n! = \sqrt{2*\pi*n} *(\frac{n}{e} )^n

Because here we are taking the limit when n tends to infinity, we can use this approximation.

Then we get.

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{n!} }{n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{\sqrt{2*\pi*n} *(\frac{n}{e} )^n} }{n} =  \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n}{e*n} *\sqrt[2*n]{2*\pi*n}

Now we can just simplify this, so we get:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *\sqrt[2*n]{2*\pi*n} \\

And we can rewrite it as:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *(2*\pi*n)^{1/2n}

The important part here is the exponent, as n tends to infinite, the exponent tends to zero.

Thus:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *(2*\pi*n)^{1/2n} = \frac{1}{e}*1 = \frac{1}{e}

How many 1-inch cubes will fit into a 3 and 1/2 in rectangular prism?
alexandr402 [8]
Suppose the height of the prism is 1 in, then the volume will be:
volume=length×width×height
thus
volume of the prism will be:
V=3×1/2×1
V=1.5 in³

Volume of the cube will be:
v=1×1×1=1 in³
Thus the number of cubes that will be in the prism will be:
(1.5 in³)/(1 in³)
=1.5 cubes~2 cubes
