(a) We have ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = 5 if 5 ≤ <em>x</em> < 6, and similarly ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = 5 if
5 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < 6 ==> 15 ≤ <em>x</em> < 18
(b) ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = -2 if -2 ≤ <em>x</em> < -1, so ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = -2 if
-2 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < -1 ==> -6 ≤ <em>x</em> < -3
In general, ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = <em>n</em> if <em>n</em> ≤ <em>x</em> < <em>n</em> + 1, where <em>n</em> is any integer.
I do not understand what is being asked in (c) and (d), so you'll have to clarify...
1/4 * 1/3 * 1/2 * 1/1 = 1/24 chance that all 4 letters are placed in the correct envelopes.
With the first envelope, there are 4 choices of letters, so the probability of picking the correct letter is 1/4.
With the second envelope, there are 3 remaining letters, so the probability of picking the correct letter is 1/3.
The same logic follows the the third and final letter.
Answer:
- 2 - 3i
Step-by-step explanation:
given a complex number a + bi
then the conjugate is a - bi
The real part a remains unchanged while the sign of the imaginary part is reversed.
the conjugate of - 2 + 3i is - 2 - 3i
The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,
<span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)
Substituting the known terms,
Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
Sn = 26.5625
Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>
