STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation

Given that Sn = Sn-2 . (Sn-1 - 1)

Tn = Sn - Sn-1

Tn = Sn-2 . (Sn-1 - 1) - (Sn-3 . (Sn-2 - 1))

T3 = S1.(S2-1) - (S0.(S1-1)

T3 = 2.(3-1) - 1.(2-1)

T3 = 2(2) - 1(1)

T3 = 4-2

T3 = 3

T4 = S2.(S3-1) - (S1.(S2-1)

T4 =3.(-1) - 1.(2-1)

T4 = 2(2) - 1(1)

T4 = 4-2

T4 = 3

A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is StartSet HHH comma HHT comma HTH comma TH
liq [111]

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a fair coin is tossed three time, the set of equally likely outcomes is:

S= {HHH,HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S)=8

Let A be the event that there are exactly zero tails which means there are all heads

Then

A= {HHH}

n(A)=1

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{1}{8}

The probability of getting exactly zero tails is 1/8.

Suppose that a household's monthly water bill (in dollars) is a linear function of the amount of water the household uses (in hu
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

I hope that you are doing well, during this weird time; and that this message finds you in a good place.

To get you started on this problem, you will want to think about how to go about graphing this linear function. You want to keep in mind that you want to plot your dependent variable on the y-axis, as it changes with respect to your independent variable (plotted on the x-axis). In this problem, the cost of the water bill depends on the amount of water used, in HCF. So the graph should be plotted with cost on the y-axis, and HCF on the x-axis.

It follows that you are given the coordinates of (16, $48.37) and (22, y2); where y2 represents the cost when using 22 HCF. You are also given the slope of your line (m, in y = mx + b format). You may recall that you can set-up a slope as the change in y over the change in x, or the "rise over the run" [m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)]. We can set this problem up, using this equation to solve for y2 (the cost at 22 HCF) algebraically.

So we would set up the problem as 1.65 = (y2-48.37)/(22-16). We then solve by combining like-terms and using inverse operations as follows:  

  1.65 = (y2 - 48.37) / 6

  1.65(6) = y2 - 48.37

  9.9 = y2 - 48.37

  y2 = $58.27

HELP PLZ! <br><br>please answer 13 and 14.
AURORKA [14]
13. The words are telling you
.. HT +TS = HM +MS +2
.. (2x +1) +(x) = (x +1) +(x +2) +2
.. 3x +1 = 2x +5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
.. x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -2x-1

HT +TS = 3x +1 = 3*4 +1 = 13 miles

The route via the theater is 13 miles.
Via the mall, the route is 11 miles.


14. Solve this the way you would any 2-step linear equation. Subtract terms that don't have h, and divide by the coefficient of h.

S = 2πr^2 +2πrh
S -2πr^2 = 2πrh
(S -2πr^2)/(2πr) = h

If you like, you can rearrange this to
.. h = (S/(2πr)) -r
