Answer:

7/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = expected outcome/total outcome

If the box contains 3 black pens, 7 blue pens, and 5 red pens, the total number of pens in the box is 3+7+5 = 15pens

Probability of pulling a red pen and replacing = 5/15 = 1/3

Probability of pulling a blue pen and replacing = 7/15

Probability of pulling a black pen and not replacing(using it) = 3/15

{Note that the total number of outcome used will still be 15 since the black pen was pulled out last even though it wasn't replaced.}

P(red, then blue, then black) = 1/3×7/15×3/15

= 63/225

= 7/25

Someone please help.

Hi there!

f(x)+f(x+1)=4f(x)

There are 3 parts to this equation:

f(x)

f(x+1)

4f(x)

We must first determine these three parts separately.

<u>1) f(x)</u>

We're given that  f(x)=3^x:

⇒ f(x)=3^x:

<u>2) f(x+1)</u>

Now, we must find f(x+1). To do so, add 1 to x in the original function f(x)=3^x:

⇒ f(x+1)=3^x^+^1

<u>3) 4f(x)</u>

To find 4f(x), multiply the original function f(x)=3^x by 4:

4f(x)=4*3^x:

<u>4) Put it all together</u>

Now, plug each of the three parts into the equation f(x)+f(x+1)=4f(x):

f(x)+f(x+1)=4f(x)

3^x+3^x^+^1=4*3^x\\3^x+3^x*3=4*3^x

Factor the left side

3^x*(1+3)=4*3^x

Divide both sides by 3^x

1+3=4\\4=4

Because this equation is true, f(x)+f(x+1)=4f(x) is therefore true.

I hope this helps!
