Answer:

  71.447296

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is geometric with first term 100 and common ratio -0.4. Then the sum of n terms is ...

  Sn = 100(1 -(-0.4)^n)/(1 -(-0.4))

and the sum of 9 terms is ...

  S9 = 100(1 -(-0.4^9))/(1.4) = 71.447296

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:\frac{13}{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

2( N+ 17) = 3 (N +7)

2N+ 34= ·3N+ 21

N= 13

D= N+8 = 13+8 = 21

Fraction is \frac{13}{21}

When Im using N is equal to numerator and D for denominator, in order to get the fraction we substitute and the results combine in the fraction like this  \frac{N}{D}

Quadratic Word Problems

4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0

x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13

When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1

Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.

That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.

Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.

A bag contains 4 red marbles, 6 blue marbles and 7 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probabi
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marble = 4+6+7 = 17

Number of green = 7

Prob(1st green) = 7/17

Now their are 6 green left and 16 marble

Prob(2nd green) = 6/16 = 3/8

Now their are 5 green left and 15 marble

Prob(3rd green) = 5/15 = 1/3

Prob(1st and 2nd and 3rd green) will be = 7/17 × 3/8 × 1/3

= 7/(17×8)

= 7/136
