Answer:

15th term is 29/4

Use Arithmetic equation

a1 = 1/4

d= common difference = 2/4

a15 = a1 + (n-1) d

a15 = 1/4 + (15 - 1) 2/4

a15 = 1/4 + 14 (2/4)

a15 = 1/4 + 7

a15 = 29/4 or 7 1/4

Find the value of the expression 3m^2+2p^2-15 when m =3 and p = 10

mylen [45]

$3m {}^{2} + {2p}^{2} - 15$
m = 3
p = 10

$3 \times 3 {}^{2} + 2 \times {10}^{2} - 15 =$
$3 \times 9 + 2 \times 100 - 15 =$
$27 + 200 - 15 =$
$212$

Hence, the answer is 212.

Each letter of the word "thunderstorm" has been written on a separate slip of paper and put into a box. Find the probability of

xxTIMURxx [149]

SOLUTION

From the question, we want to find the probability of selecting a slip of paper with the letter t on it, then selecting the letter r, with replacement.

This means the probability of selecting t and r.

That is

$P(t)\times P(r)$

There are 12 letters (total outcomes). And there are 2r and 2t.

So probability becomes

$\begin{gathered} \frac{possible\text{ outcome}}{\text{total outcome }} \\ P(t)=\frac{2}{12} \\ P(r)=\frac{2}{12} \\ P(t)\times P(r)=\frac{2}{12}\times\frac{2}{12} \\ =\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6} \\ =\frac{1}{36} \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is
