A sequence of numbers is said to arithmetic if any couple of adjacent terms differ by the same number. That number is said to be the common difference of the sequence. Let's see what the differences are for each sequence:

First sequence

Difference between the first two terms:

1 - (-3) = 4

Difference between the third and second terms:

5 - 1 = 4

Difference between the fourth and third terms:

9-5 = 4

The difference is constant, so this sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Second sequence

Difference between the first two terms:

2 - 1 = 1

Difference between the third and second terms:

4-2 = 2

The difference is not constant, so this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

Third sequence

Difference between the first two terms:

-12 - 4 = -16

Difference between the third and second terms:

36 - (-12) = 36+12 = 48

The difference is not constant, so this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

Fourth sequence

Difference between the first two terms:

14 - 7 = 7

Difference between the third and second terms:

21 - 14 = 7

Difference between the fourth and third terms:

28 - 21 = 7

The difference is constant, so this sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

1) Probability of randomly selecting a diamond or club = \frac{1}{2}

2)Probability of randomly selecting a diamond or club or heart = \frac{3}{4}

3) P(selecting a five or club) = \frac{4}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards in the deck = 52

Noe Let E : favorable Event

So, P(E) =  \frac{\textrm{Number of Favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}

1 ) Probability of randomly selecting a diamond or club

Here the favorable event is picking a club or diamond

hence, favorable outcomes  = Number of club and diamond

= 13 + 13 = 26

⇒P(selecting a diamond or club) = \frac{26}{52}  = \frac{1}{2}

2) Probability of randomly selecting a diamond or club or heart

Here the favorable event is picking a diamond and club and heart.

hence, favorable outcomes = Number of   clubs + diamond + heart

= 13 + 13 + 13 = 39

⇒P(selecting a diamond or club or heart) = \frac{39}{52}  = \frac{3}{4}

3 )Probability of randomly selecting a five or club.

Here the favorable event is selecting a five or club.

hence, favorable outcomes = Number of 5 in a deck  + Number of clubs

=  3 +  13  = 16

⇒P(selecting a five or club) = \frac{16}{52}  = \frac{4}{13}

Triangles 1 and 2 are both isosceles. They each have a 30 degree angle. Explain why these triangles don't have to be similar to
Vladimir79 [104]

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle 1 can have 30°, 75° and 75° angles whereas Triangle 2 can have 30°, 30° and 120° angles.

Since they do not have all 3 congruent angles, they are not similar.
