Answer:

r = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio (r) is the number that, when multiplied by the previous (n-1) term, gives the nth term of the geometric sequence ( $a_{n} =a_{n-1}*r$ ). To find the common ratio, we can take any term and divide it by its preceding term (rearrange the formula to get $r=\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}$ ). If we take 24 and divide it by 16, we get the common ratio of 3/2 ( $r=\frac{24}{16}$ , $r=\frac{3}{2}$ ). Hope this helps.

Answer:

1) 12

2) c=-25

3) x = -16 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ..........................

6*(4-10+8) =
6*(- 6+8) =
6*2=
12

2) ..........................

34 + 2c = -16
2c = - 16 -34
2c = -50
c = -50/2
c=-25

3) ..........................

40 = -3x - 10
40+ 10 = -3x
-3x = 50
x = 50/-3
x=-16 2/3

seven different gifts are to be distributed among 10 children. How many distinct results are possible if no child is to receive

Alik [6]

Answer:

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order is not important, we use the combination formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The order is said to be not important if for example, John receiving the Buffalo Bills jersey and then Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey is the same as Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey before John receives the Buffalo Bills jersey.

In this problem, we have that:

Combinations of 7 from a set of 10 elements. So

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

$C_{10,7} = \frac{10!}{7!(3)!} = 120$

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.
