Answer: graph E.
A geometric sequence can be written as:

where:
a₁ = first term = 4
r = ratio = 0.5
Substituting the numbers, we have:

or else

This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).
In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
3/12 and 8/12
The common denominator is 12
Answer:
It is the number of ways you can arrange the letters AAABBBCCCF, indicating that three players are on team A, three on team B, and three on team C, with one the field judge F.
Each different arrangement represents one of the ways you can form three teams of 3 with a field judge.
That number of arrangments, and therefore the number of ways to divide the players as required, is
3 ln 3 + 4 ln b => ln 3^3 + ln b^4 => ln (3^3)*(b^4)
Answer:
16 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance from Washington to Stamford = distance from Washington to Salem + distance from Salem to Stamford = 10.3 km + 11.9 km = 22.2 km
Distance from Washington to Oakdele = 6.2 km
Required: the difference between the distance from Washington to Stamford and from Washington to Oakdele
Solution:
Distance from Washington to Stamford = 22.2 km
Distance from Washington to Oakdele = 6.2 km
The difference = 22.2 km - 6.2 km = 16 km
Therefore, from Washington, it is 16 km farther to Stamford than to Oakdele.
