Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
Answer:
Negative 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x -1 would have an outcome of a negative number since 2 is positive and one is negative. if they were both positive numbers or negative numbers then the answer would be positive
Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
given that a cell phone company has three different production sites
Site name 1 2 3 Total
Production 60% 30% 10% 100%
Recalled 5% 7% 9%
Prob for recall 0.003 0.021 0.009 0.033
Total probability for recall = 0.033
Prob for recall and came from site 3 = 0.009
So required probability
= If a randomly selected cell phone has been recalled, what is the probability that it came from Site 3
=
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let X represent the smaller paintings and Y represent the larger paintings
since she bought 8 paintings
X+Y=8
She bought all the eight paintings for $230 and X is worth 25 while Y is worth 40
25×X+40×Y=230
25X+40Y=230
