The answer is B. Because there are 8 ribbons in all. 1 ribbon is black. so the equation would be 1/8. Assuming you don't draw the black ribbon on the first try, then you would try again. The second time you draw a ribbon you don't put the ribbon you drew back in. That means there are only 7 ribbons the second time. The 1 black ribbon is still in the bag than the equation would be 1/7. Then you add the two together. So it would be 1/8 + 1/7 = 1/15. Remember to only add the bottom numbers. not the top ones unless they are different colors or objects.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence is geometric (it multiplies the previous number each time). The nth term sequence would be 
Because the sequence multiplies by 3 each time, The base number in that equation would be
.
So
of the equation would be:
.
Compare the 2 equations:
4, 12, 36
3, 9 ,27
The difference between the 2 equations is: 1, 3, 9 which itself is a geometric sequence so the nth term of this new equation is:
.
Combine these 2 equations together and you get:
.
Answer:
The value of
is -16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to evaluate
for x = -1, y = 5 and let us assume that z = 1
It can be simply done by putting the values of x,y and z in the given expression.

We know that the value of 4² = 16
So,

So, the value of
is -16.
