im doing this problem right now---

ok so a1=256 a2=64 a3=15 a4=4... find a9

the sequence divides by 1/4 every term

an=a1*r^n-1

an=(256)*(1/4)^n-1

replace n with 9

A9=(256)*(1/4)^9-1

A9=(256)*(1/4)^8

=(256)*(1/4)

A9=64^8

1/256 or a9= 0.00390625

A colour palette at a paint store has 6 shades of blue. Kelsie is choosing 2 shades of blue to paint her room. How many pairs of
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B.) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the shades are chosen is not important. For example, choosing powder then sky is the same outcome as choosing sky then powder. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

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

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

In this question:

2 shades from a set of 6. So

C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = 15

So the correct answer is:

B.) 15

Two points give you a line. A third point (often called a check-point) is used to confirm the accuracy of your first two points. If all three line up, you have confirmed you have the correct line.

bekas [8.4K]

The number in the parentheses is the rate of change. Because this number is less than 1 it is a decrease, so it is a decay.

The percent decrease is 1 - 0.63 = 0.37 = 37% decrease
