Please help me solve this

3/6+1/6+1 2/3
Make 1 2/3 into an improper fraction:
5/3
Give them all common denominators by multiplying both sides of 5/3 by 2:
10/6
Then the question becomes:
3/6+1/6+10/6
Now you add the numerators and the denominator stays the same:
14/6
Now you can simplify by dividing both sides by 2:
7/3
Now you can make it a mixed number:
2 1/3

Hope this helps :)

Solve for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.<br> 15.56x - 200 < 758.92

jasenka [17]

Answer: x<61.63

Step-by-step explanation: Add 200 to both sides, giving you 15.56x<958.92 .

Than divide by 15.56 giving you x< x<61.627249

Round to the nearest hundredth giving you x<61.63

Maslowich

Answer:

0.318

Step-by-step explanation:

on division with 10, the value reduces.... decimal moves forward

on multiplication, the value increases decimal moves backward....

eg: 3.18 x 10 = 31.8

Can you help me with number 6? <br> Confused abit <br> Please

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

You can see the three diagram attached. Each link is labeled with the probability: you have probability 1/6 that a six is rolled, and 5/6 that it is not rolled.

To answer the questions, find the path that brings you to the desired outcome, and multiply all the labels you meet.

First question:

To get three sixes, you have to choose the left path at each roll. The probability is always 1/6, so the answer is

$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6^3}$

Second question:

To get no sixes, you have to choose the right path at each roll. The probability is always 5/6, so the answer is

$\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^3}{6^3}$

Third question:

To get exactly one six, it can either be the first, second or third roll.

In all cases, you have to choose the left path once and the right path twice: left-right-right mean that you get the six in the first roll, right-left-right means that you get the six in the second roll, right-right-left means that you get the six in the third roll.

In every case, the left turn has probability 1/6, and the right turn has probability 5/6. The probability of each combination is thus

$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^2}{6^3}$

And since there are three of these combinations, The answer is

$3\frac{5^2}{6^3}$

Fourth question:

Since the question suggests to use what we already achieved, let's do it: having at least one six is the complementary event of having no sixes at all. If an event has probability p, its complementary has probability 1-p. So, since the probability of no sixes is known, the probability of at least one six is

$1 - \frac{5^3}{6^3}$

Determine the formula for the nth term of the sequence:<br>-2,1,7,25,79,...

rodikova [14]

A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

$x_n = a n^4 + b n^3 + c n^2 + d n + e$

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

$\begin{cases}a+b+c+d+e = -2 \\ 16 a + 8 b + 4 c + 2 d + e = 1 \\ 81 a + 27 b + 9 c + 3 d + e = 7 \\ 256 a + 64 b + 16 c + 4 d + e = 25 \\ 625 a + 125 b + 25 c + 5 d + e = 79\end{cases}$

Solving the system yields coefficients

$a=\dfrac58, b=-\dfrac{19}4, c=\dfrac{115}8, d = -\dfrac{65}4, e=4$

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

$\displaystyle x_n = \boxed{\frac{5 n^4}{8}-\frac{19 n^3}{4}+\frac{115 n^2}{8}-\frac{65 n}{4}+4}$

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

$\{-2, 1, 7, 25, 79, 208, 466, 922, 1660, 2779, \ldots\}$

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...

* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of $\{x_n\}$ by $\Delta^{k}\{x_n\}$ . Then

• 1st-order differences:

$\Delta\{x_n\} = \{1-(-2), 7-1, 25-7, 79-25,\ldots\} = \{3,6,18,54,\ldots\}$

• 2nd-order differences:

$\Delta^2\{x_n\} = \{6-3,18-6,54-18,\ldots\} = \{3,12,36,\ldots\}$

• 3rd-order differences:

$\Delta^3\{x_n\} = \{12-3, 36-12,\ldots\} = \{9,24,\ldots\}$

• 4th-order differences:

$\Delta^4\{x_n\} = \{24-9,\ldots\} = \{15,\ldots\}$

From here I made the assumption that $\Delta^4\{x_n\}$ is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies $\Delta^3\{x_n\}$ forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies $\Delta^2\{x_n\}$ forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up $\{x_n\}$ forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.
