Answer:
an = 12 -7(n-1)
an = 19-7n
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference
a1 =12
We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term
d = 5-12
d = -7
an = 12 -7(n-1)
We can simplify this
an = 12 -7n+7
an = 19-7n

Sam and his friend went out for pancakes. They ordered a huge stack of pancakes but the waitress didn't give them enough maple syrup. Sam got 1/5 of a cup of syrup and his friend got 1/2 of a cup. If they wanted a lot of syrup, they would have to combine their cup of syrup.
How much syrup would they have if they combined their cups of syrup?
Now solve.
First, find the common denominator
10 is the common denominator
1/5=2/10 1/2=5/10
2/10+5/10=7/10
Sam and his friend has 7/10 cups of syrup, now they have enough and are satisfied
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
