Answer:

a₂ = -3

a₃ = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to insert two arithmetic means between -5 and 1

Let a₁ and b₂ be the two arithmetic means between -5 and 1

-5, a₂, a₃, 1

Here,

a₄ = 1

a₁ = -5

We know that the nth term of an Arithmetic sequence

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

a₄ = -5 + (4-1)d

1 = -5 + 3d

1 + 5 = 3d

3d = 6

Dividing both sides by 2

d = 2

Also

a₂ = a₁ + (2-1)d

a₂ = -5 + d

a₂ = -5 + 2 ∵ d = 2

a₂ = -3

a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d

a₃ = -5 + 2d

a₃ = -5 + 2(2) ∵ d = 2

a₃ = -5 + 4

a₃ = -1

Thus,

a₂ = -3

a₃ = -1

Thus, the sequence becomes:

-5, -3, -3, 1

A magician asks two volunteers to each draw a card from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability that the first card is

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

6.37%

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards have 52 cards. There are 4 suits of 13 card each, those suits are Hearts, Clubs, Diamond and Spades.

The probability that the first card is a heart is:

$P(Hearts) = \frac{13}{52}$

Now, the probabily that the second card is a diamond is:

$P(Diamond | First card is Heart) = \frac{13}{51}$

The Probability that the first card is a heart and the second one a diamond is given by:

$P(Hearts)$ × $P(Diamond | First card is Heart)$

$= \frac{13}{52}\frac{13}{51}$

$= 6.37$ %

So to solve for the value of a variable in an equation, you would need to isolate x on one side. The first thing you have to do is multiply 2 and (x + 7) together, which can be rewritten as 2(x) + 2(7). After multiplying, your equation would be: $2x+14+3x=12$ , or A.

22.

So the rule with multiplying exponents with the same base is to add the exponents together, and the rule with dividing exponents with the same base is to subtract the exponents. Your equation will be simplified as such:

$4^{(3+4)-9}\\ 4^{7-9}\\ 4^{-2}$

Now the rule with converting negative exponents into fractions is $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}$ . In this case, 4^-2 would turn into $\frac{1}{4^2}$ , or C, which is your final answer.
