5 0

Answer: 118 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ALIVE we have 5 letters, rearranging it we have the possible options of:

5 options for the first letter.

4 options for the second letter, as one was already chosen for the first one

3 options for the third letter, as 2 were already chosen.

2 options for the fourth letter.

1 option for the last letter.

The total number of combinations will be equal to the product of the numbers of options for each letter, then we have:

5*4*3*2*1 = 120 combinations.

And the combinations where the word EVIL is formed are:

AEVIL

EVILA

2 combinations, then the total number of combinations such that the word evil is not formed are:

120 - 2 = 118 combinations.

9/17 15/34 6/17 9/34 geometric sequence?

zysi [14]

In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.

In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.

In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...

9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34

Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.

This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
