Answer: $\dfrac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When a coin is tossed twice , the total outcomes will become

HHH , HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Total outcomes = 8

Favorable outcomes to obtain 1 and 3 inclusive = HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive = $\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$=\dfrac{7}{8}$

Hence, the probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive $=\dfrac{7}{8}$

For all the questions, we will be using the FOIL pattern.
1. $(x+3)(x-3)(3x+2)$
$(x^2-3x+3x-9)(3x+2)$
$(x^2-9)(3x+2)$
$3x^3+2x^2-27x-18$
2. $(2x+1)(x-2)(x+3)$
$(2x^2-4x+x-2)(x+3)$
$(2x^2-3x-2)(x+3)$
$2x^3+3x^2-11x-6$
3. $(x-3)(2x+1)(3x-2)$
$(2x^2+x-6x-3)(3x-2)$
$(2x^2-5x-3)(3x-2)$
$6x^3-19x^2+x+6$
Hope this helped!

A sequence is defined by the formula f(n + 1) = f(n) – 3. If f(4) = 22, what is f(1)?

julsineya [31]

f(n) = f(n+1) +3

f(1) = f(2) +3

f(2) =f(3) +3

f(3) = f(4) +3

So f(1) = f(n) + 3* (n-1)

Put n=4 here so you found

f(1) = f(4) + 3* 3

= 22 +9

=31 ans

hope it helps
