Answer:

Answer

Tony:48

Gordan :64

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{c|c|c}Age&Gordon&Tony\\------------------&-------&-------\\now&g&t\\when\ gordan\ was\ as\ old\ as\ tony\ is\ now&t(=g-g+t)&t-g+t=2t-g\\\end{array}\\\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}g&=&2*(2t-g)\\g+t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3g&=&4t\\g+t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}g&=&\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{7}{3} t&=&112\\\end {array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}t&=&48\\g&=&64\\\end {array}\right.\\

Proof:

16 years ago, Gordan was 48 and Tony 32.

64=2*32

64+48=112

Prove that an = 4^n + 2(-1)^nis the solution to
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to verify that if we substitute a_n=4^n+2(-1)^n in the equation a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2} the equality is true.

Let's substitute first in the right hand side:

3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}=3(4^{n-1}+2(-1)^{n-1})+4(4^{n-2}+2(-1)^{n-2})

Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that (-1)^{n-1}=\frac{1}{-1}(-1)^n=(-1)(-1)^{n} (this also works when the power is n-2).

=3(4^{n-1})+6(-1)^{n-1}+4(4^{n-2})+8(-1)^{n-2}

=3(4^{n-1})+(-1)(6)(-1)^{n}+4^{n-1}+(-1)^2(8)(-1)^{n}

=4(4^{n-1})-6(-1)^{n}+8(-1)^{n}=4^n+2(-1)^n=a_n

then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.

Sara selects two of the seven colors of the rainbow, one after another, with replacement. What is the probability that the first
Triss [41]

Well, there are actually millions of colors in the rainbow, (every color that the human eye can see), but I do understand the question you're asking:

 

-- When Sara is ready to make her first selection, there are seven things with different colors in the pot, and one of them is red.

The probability that she picks the red one is ( 1 / 7 ).

The question says "with replacement". That means that after she selects it and looks at it, she puts it back in the pot. So . . .

-- When she's ready to make her second selection, the same seven things with different colors are still in the pot.  One of them is orange.

The probability that she picks the orange one is ( 1 / 7 ).

-- The probability of BOTH selections being successful (the color she wants) is

(1/7) x (1/7) .

That's <em>(1/49)</em>, which is about  <em>2.04 percent</em> .
