If the fifth and sixth terms of a geometric sequence are 8 and 16, respectively, then what is the first term?

Let's talk about what we do know, before we answer the question.

Probability =  (1/2)^5 x (1/2) = 1/64 or 1.5625%, which rounds to -

1.6% [C] <----------

Final answer:

The probability of tails coming up on the 6th flip of a coin is calculated as (0.5)^6, which equals 0.015625 or 1.6% after rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of tails coming up on the 6th flip of a coin, we must first understand that each flip of a fair coin is an independent event with two possible outcomes: heads or tails. The probability for each of these outcomes on a single flip is 50% or 0.5. In order for tails to come up on the 6th flip specifically, we need to have five heads before that. The probability of getting heads five times in a row is (0.5)^5, and then we multiply this by 0.5 again for the probability of the 6th flip being tails. Hence, the calculation is (0.5)^6.
(0.5)^6 = 0.015625, which is the same as 1.5625%. Rounding this to the nearest tenth of a percent, the probability of tails coming up on the 6th flip is 1.6%, which corresponds to option C.

Answer:

William is 18, Monica is 6... 6 x 3=18 Three times as old.. in 6 years William will be 24, Monica will be 12.. Twice as old... 12 x 2= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Current age of Monica=6 years

and current age of William=18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Monica's current age be x years and William's current age be y years.

William is 3 times elder than Monica.

⇒  y=3x

In 6 years William will be twice as old as Monica.

⇒ y+6=2(x+6)

⇒ y+6=2x+12

⇒3x+6=2x+12

⇒ x=6

Hence, y=3×6=18

That means, current age of Monica=6 years

and current age of William=18 years

g(x) = x^2 - x

g(2/3) = (2/3)^2 - 2\3 = 4/9 - 2/3 = 4/9 - 6/9 = -2/9

Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x² - x

Substitute x = 2/3 into g(x).

g(2/3)

= (2/3)²  - (2/3)

= 4/9 - 2/3

= 4/9 - 6/9

= -2/9

Answer:

Answer: A.  Y= -10x -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steeper line : is a line which is closed to y-axis, or closed vertically.

Since, the standard form of a line is,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope,

If the absolute value of the slope ( that is, |m| ) is maximum then it is called it has the steepest graph.

For,  y=-2x+6,

The absolute value of slope = 2,

For, y =8x-1,

The absolute value of slope = 8,

For, y=-10x-4,

The absolute value of slope = 10,

For, Y=7x+3,

The absolute value of slope = 7,

Since, 2< 7 < 8 < 10

Hence, the line y = -10 x - 4 is closest to y-axis,

⇒ Line y = -10 x - 4 has the steepest graph.

A steeper line is one with a greater absolute slope value. Among the provided equations, y = -10x - 4 has the steepest graph due to its absolute slope value of 10.

The correct answer is option A.

A steeper line in the context of linear equations can be understood as a line that is closer to the y-axis or one that has a more significant vertical incline. The steepness of a line is determined by its slope, represented as 'm' in the standard linear equation form, y = mx + c. The slope 'm' quantifies the rate at which the line rises or falls as it moves horizontally along the x-axis. The greater the absolute value of the slope (|m|), the steeper the line.

To identify the steepest line among several equations, one must calculate and compare the absolute values of their slopes. Let's evaluate a few examples:

For y = -2x + 6, the absolute value of the slope is |2|.

For y = 8x - 1, the absolute value of the slope is |8|.

For y = -10x - 4, the absolute value of the slope is |10|.

For y = 7x + 3, the absolute value of the slope is |7|.

Comparing these absolute values, we find that 2 < 7 < 8 < 10. Therefore, the line with the steepest graph is y = -10x - 4. This line is closest to the y-axis, indicating the most significant vertical incline among the given equations.

Therefore, from the given options the correct one is A.

The total amount that Diego could have spent on lunch over the past seven weeks could be between $77 and $119.

To determine the total amount Diego could have spent on lunch over the past seven weeks, you should find the minimum and maximum amounts he could have spent. The minimum amount would be if he spent $11 each week, and the maximum if he spent $17 each week.

To find these amounts, you multiply the number of weeks by the respective cost. So, for the minimum, you multiply 7 weeks by $11, which gives a total of $77. Then, for the maximum, you multiply 7 weeks by $17, which gives a total of $119.

Therefore, the total amount that he spent on lunch for the past 7 weeks could be any amount between $77 and $119.

Answer:

The glue stick with 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: if you make the denominators for both equations the same 1/5 would turn into 8/40 and 3/8 would turn into 15/40. This means that 3/8 would be 7% bigger  

The second glue stick has [tex]\( \frac{7}{40} \)[/tex] more glue than the first glue stick.

To compare the amount of glue left in each glue stick, we need to find a common denominator for [tex]\( \frac{1}{5} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \frac{3}{8} \)[/tex].

The least common denominator (LCD) for 5 and 8 is 40.

Now, let's rewrite [tex]\( \frac{1}{5} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \frac{3}{8} \)[/tex] with the common denominator of 40:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 8}{5 \times 8} = \frac{8}{40} \]\[ \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 5}{8 \times 5} = \frac{15}{40} \][/tex]

Now, we can compare the amounts:

- Glue stick 1: [tex]\( \frac{8}{40} \)[/tex] left.

- Glue stick 2: [tex]\( \frac{15}{40} \)[/tex] left.

Since [tex]\( \frac{15}{40} \)[/tex]is greater than [tex]\( \frac{8}{40} \)[/tex], the second glue stick has more glue left.

Alternatively, we can also subtract the fractions to find the difference:

[tex]\[ \frac{15}{40} - \frac{8}{40} = \frac{15 - 8}{40} = \frac{7}{40} \][/tex]

Answer:

-  The lines of both functions have the same slope.

- The line of the first function intercepts the y-axis at the point (0,-6) and the  line of the new function intercepts the y-axis at the point (0,-8).

- The new graph is the graph of the first function but shifted 2 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where the slope is "m" and the intersection of the line with the y-axis is "b".

Given the function in the form [tex]y=x-6[/tex], you can identify that:

[tex]m=1\\b=-6[/tex]

And from the new function in the form  [tex]y=x-8[/tex], you can identify that:

[tex]m=1\\b=-8[/tex]

This means that the lines of both functions have the same slope, but the line of the first function  [tex]y=x-6[/tex] intercepts the y-axis at the point (0,-6) and the  line of the new function  [tex]y=x-8[/tex] intercepts the y-axis at the point (0,-8).

Therefore, the graph of the new function is 2 units below of the function [tex]y=x-6[/tex], or, in other words, the new graph is the graph of the first function but shifted 2 units down.

E) Hands Containing Only Red Cards=65,780

F) Hands Containing No More Than 2 Face Cards= 915528

G) Hands Containing At Least 2 Hearts=1,894,929

This problem involves calculating the number of different hands possible when dealing five cards from a standard deck of 52 playing cards.

We also need to determine the count for various specific conditions.

A) Total Different Hands

To determine the number of different hands, we use the combination formula C(n, k) where n is the total number of items, and k is the number of items to choose.

For our case:

C(52, 5) = 52! / (5!(52-5)!) = 2,598,960

B) Hands Containing 4 Hearts

We select 4 hearts from the 13 available and the 5th card from the remaining 39 cards:

C(13, 4) * C(39, 1) = 715 * 39 = 27,885

C) Hands Containing No Face Cards

There are 40 non-face cards (4 suits each with A-10). Thus, the number of ways to select a 5-card hand with no face cards is:

C(40, 5) = 658,008

D) Hands Containing Only Spades or Only Clubs

Since we can't mix suits, we compute separately and add:

C(13, 5) * 2 (one for each suit) = 1,287 * 2 = 2,574

E) Hands Containing Only Red Cards

There are 26 red cards (hearts and diamonds), so we choose from these:

C(26, 5) = 65,780

F) Hands Containing No More Than 2 Face Cards

Calculating for 0, 1, and 2 face cards separately:

Total=C(40, 5) + C(12, 1) * C(40, 4) + C(12, 2) * C(40, 3) = 658,008 + 114,960 + 142,560 = 915528

G) Hands Containing At Least 2 Hearts

We use the complement rule: subtract the combinations with 0 or 1 heart from the total:

Total=C(52, 5) - (C(39, 5) + C(13, 1) * C(39, 4)) = 2,598,960 - (575,757 + 128,274) = 1,894,929

[tex]\cos( \theta) = - \frac{5\sqrt{61}}{ 61 } [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given point is (-5,-6).

This implies that ,

[tex] \tan( \theta) = \frac{6}{5} [/tex]

Hence opposite=6 units and adjacent=5 units.

The hypotenuse is,

[tex] = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {6}^{2} } = \sqrt{61} [/tex]

Since the terminal side is in the third quadrant, the cosine ratio is negative.

[tex] \cos( \theta) = - \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} [/tex]

[tex]\cos( \theta) = - \frac{5}{ \sqrt{61} } [/tex]

Rationalize the denominator,

[tex]\cos( \theta) = - \frac{5\sqrt{61}}{ 61 } [/tex]

The correct choice is C.

Answer:

y = 7/5x + 18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have y = mx + b

f(1) = 5

f(-4) = -2

so let's find b

so like if you do (5 - (-2))/(1 - (-4)) you get (5 + 2)/(1 + 4) = 7/5

y = 7/5x + b

so now we can plug in a value like f(1) = 5

5 = (7/5)1 + b

b = 18/5

Answer:

y > -1/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is a linear inequality whose equation can be written using a form similar to y = mx + b. Remember m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Here the line crosses the y-axis at b = -1. And it has as a slope m = -1/3. The equation is then y = -1/3x - 1. Since this is an inequality with a dashed line then the symbols <,> must replace the =. There are two options:

y < -1/3x - 1 and y > -1/3x - 1

Test the point (0,0) which is in the solution set to determine which equation holds true.

0 < -1 and 0 > -1

The first is false and the second is true. The correct equation is y > -1/3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60% of students have an iPad and a car and 70% have a car.

If we call A the event "have an iPad" and call the event B "have a car"

So

[tex]P (A\ and\ B) = 0.6\\\\P(B) = 0.7[/tex]

We look for the probability that a student with a car also has an iPad. This is

[tex]P (A | B) = \frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)}\\\\P (A | B) = \frac{0.6}{0.7}\\\\P (A | B) = 0.857[/tex]

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you need to use the formula for conditional probability.  

P(Ipod|Car) = P(Car and Ipod)P(Car).

P(a student with a car also has an iPod) = 0.6/0.7 = 0.857 = 86%

[tex]\bf \textit{area of a triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh~~ \begin{cases} b=base\\ h=height\\ \cline{1-1} A=8\\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies 8=\cfrac{1}{2}b(4)\implies 8=2b\implies \cfrac{8}{2}=b\implies 4=b[/tex]

To find the length of the base of a triangle with an area of 8 square feet and a height of 4 feet, you rearrange the formula for the area of a triangle and solve for the base, resulting in a base length of 4 feet.

The question asks for the length of the base of a triangle given that the area is 8 square feet and the height is 4 feet. To find the base of the triangle, we can rearrange the formula for the area of a triangle, which is A = (1/2) * base * height. Substituting in the given values and solving for the base, we get:

Base = (2 * Area) / Height

Next, we replace the values for Area and Height:

Base = (2 * 8 sq ft) / 4 ft

Base = 16 sq ft / 4 ft

Base = 4 feet

Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 feet.

The cyclist's speed converts to 43.2 km/h. In 3 hours, she will travel a distance of 129.6 kilometers.

The rate of the cyclist in kilometers per hour can be calculated by converting meters per second to kilometers per hour. To do this, we multiply the speed in meters per second by 3.6 (since 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h). Thus, the cyclist's speed in km/h is 12 m/s * 3.6 = 43.2 km/h.

To calculate the distance she will travel in 3 hours, we multiply the speed (in km/h) by the time in hours. So, the distance is 43.2 km/h * 3 hours = 129.6 km.

The cyclist's rate in kilometers per hour is 43.2 km/h, and she will travel 129.6 km in 3 hours.

To convert the rate from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per hour (km/h), we need to use conversion factors.

Conversion factors:

1 m/s = 3.6 km/h

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Let's calculate:

Rate in km/h = (Rate in m/s) × (Conversion factor from m/s to km/h)

Rate in km/h = 12 m/s × 3.6 km/h

Rate in km/h = 43.2 km/h

To calculate the distance traveled in 3 hours, we can use the formula:

Distance traveled = Rate × Time
