Answer:

OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .

It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.

The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .

Here a = 2 and r = 3.

$ n^{th} $ term of a Geometric progression is $ ar^{n - 1} $.

Note that the fourth term is 54.

i.e., $ ar^3 = 54 $

$ \implies ar^4 = ar^3 . r = 54 . 3 = 162 $.

Similarly, $ ar^6 = 162 \times 3 = 486 $.

Also, $ ar^7 = ar^6 . r = 486 \times 3 = 1458 $.

Hence, OPTION B is the answer.

Find the product and sum of the roots of the equation:<br> 2x^2-9x-10=0
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<h3>           sum of the roots:    x_1+x_2=4\frac12</h3><h3>           product of the roots:     x_1x_2=-5             </h3><h3> Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

2x^2-9x-10=0\quad\implies\quad a=2\,,\ b=-9\,,\ c=-10

b^2-4ac=(-9)^2-4(2)(-10)=81+80=161>0

From Vieta's formulas applied to quadratic polynomial we have:

if    b^2-4ac\geqslant0   then

sum of roots:    x_1+x_2=-\dfrac ba=-\dfrac{-9}2=4\frac12

product of the roots:     x_1x_2=\dfrac ca=\dfrac{-10}2=-5

On each round, Ann and Bob each simultaneously toss a fair coin. Let Xn be the number of heads tossed in the 2n flips which occu
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

P=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}*0.5^{2n}

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coin toss the  probability of tossing a head is 0.5 (50% head/50% tails)

If n is the number of rounds and 2n the number of coins tossed (one for each player), the probability of having m heads tossed is:

R=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}

R is the number of cases (combination of coins tossed) that gives a m number of heads. Each case has a probability of P_{case}=0.5^{2n} so:

P=\frac{2n!}{m!*(2n-m)!}*0.5^{2n}

<u>For example, to toss 4 heads in 5 rounds: </u>

  • n=5
  • 2n=10
  • m=4

P=\frac{10!}{4!*(10-4)!}*0.5^{10}

P=\frac{10*9*8*7*6!}{4!*6!}*0.5^{10}

P=\frac{10*9*8*7}{4!}*0.5^{10}

P=\frac{10*9*8*7}{4!}*0.5^{10}=0.205

according to "Black Hole Beginnings," the destruction of some stars results in inbursts of light. an intense gravitational pull.
Colt1911 [192]

According to "Black Hole Beginnings," the destruction of some stars results in an an intense gravitational pull.

To answer the question, we need to know what Black Holes are.

<h3>What are Black Holes?</h3>

Blackholes are regions of space in which no matter can escape

<h3>Characteristics of black holes</h3>
  • Black holes are formed from the remnants of  large star that dies in a supernova
  • As long as the star is three times or more larger than the sun, it will collapse
  • The gravitational force on the star causes it to collapse into a black hole

So, when black holes are formed, some stars are destroyed and collapse due to intense gravitational forces.

So, according to "Black Hole Beginnings," the destruction of some stars results in an an intense gravitational pull.
