Four students are competing in a race. In how many different combinations could the four students place in the race?

Mathematics

VMariaS [17]2 years ago

"Combinations" isn't really the right word, because a combination doesn't take order of elements into account, and the outcome of a race certainly does depend on order. "Permutations" would be the correct term.

If 4 students are competing, then the race has

4! = 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 = 24

possible outcomes.

Mohamed and Li Jing were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -5, -25, -125, -625,....
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Li Jing's formula i.e.  \boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}  is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

-5,\:-25,\:-125,\:-625,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

g_n=g_0\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{g_{n+1}}{g_n}

\frac{-25}{-5}=5,\:\quad \frac{-125}{-25}=5,\:\quad \frac{-625}{-125}=5

\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}

r=5

So, the sequence is geometric.

as

\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}

g_1=-5

r=5

so

g_n=g_1\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:

g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}

Therefore, Li Jing's formula i.e.  \boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}  is right.

An inverse statement is negating both statements meaning if not p, then not q.
So transforming this to an inverse statement would be:
