Answer:
b(n) = -23 + 18n
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE - This is an arithmetic sequence, so each number is increasing by addition. If you were in a geometric sequence, however, you'd be multiplying. This means that the explicit formula for the geometric sequence you'll be learning later on will be different.
The formula for explicit formula is b(n)=b(1)+d(n-1). The variable d represents the common difference and the a is whatever number of the term you are using.
Since you have b(1), you look at what your first term is. Plug -5 into a(1).
To find your common difference, find 13-(-5). This is 18, and adding it to the others you can see that it continues.
So, plugging in what you have so far it looks like b(n) = -5 + 18(n - 1)
All we need to do now is simplify.
1. Distribute: -5 + 18n - 18
2. Add like terms: -23 + 18n
Hope this helped and made sense lol.

Probability of First = 2/9
Probability of Second = 4/11
Probability of both winning = 2/9 + 4/11
= 22/99 + 36/99
= 58/99
Answer is 58/99 probability of them both winning

Answer:
y-11
Step-by-step explanation:
First you divide 3 by 3 to get one. Then you add 12 to -1 to get 11. Then you will have y-11. PEMDAS saves lives.
