Given:

The sequence is 25, 20, 15, 10, 5.

To find:

The ninth term of the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

25, 20, 15, 10, 5

It is an AP because the difference between two consecutive terms are same.

Here,

First term (a) = 25

Common difference (d) = 20-25

= -5

The nth terms of an AP is

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where, a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Putting a=25, n=9 and d=-5 to get the 9th term.

$a_9=25+(9-1)(-5)$

$a_9=25+(8)(-5)$

$a_9=25-40$

$a_9=-15$

Therefore, the ninth term of the given sequence is -15.

Answer:

(B) No. A binomial probability model applies to only two outcomes per trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability is the probability of having $x$ sucesses on $n$ repeated trials of an experiment that can only have two outcomes. This is why it is called the binomial probability.

Since in our problem there are three possible outcomes, the binomial probability cannot be used.

The correct answer is (B)

(B) No. A binomial probability model applies to only two outcomes per trial.

Answer:

(1,0) would be the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

any point that is reflected across y=x will change unless it is on the line. if reflected across y=x, the coordinates will become y,x

Given that cot θ = 1/√5, what is the value of (sec²θ - cosec²θ)/(sec²θ + cosec²θ) ?

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{Given :\;\dfrac{{sec}^2\theta - co{sec}^2\theta}{{sec}^2\theta + co{sec}^2\theta}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{cos\theta}}}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{co{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} - \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} + \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}}$

Taking sin²θ common in both numerator & denominator, We get :

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta\left(1 - \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}{sin^2\theta\left(1 + \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}}$
