Answer:

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the formula to find out each term.
f(n)=3n-1 starting with n=1. If n=1 that is the 1st term, if n=2 that is the 2nd term, and so on. n means what number term it is.
Now to find each term:

n=1: f(1)= 3(1)-1= 3-1= 2 The 1st term is 2
n=2: f(2)= 3(2)-1= 6-1= 5 The 2nd term is 5
n=3: f(3)= 3(3)-1= 9-1=8 The 3rd term is 8
n=4: f(4)= 4(3)-1= 12-1= 11 The 4th term is 11
n=5: f(5)= 5(3)-1= 15-1= 14 The 5th term is 14

So the first 5 terms are 2,5,8,11,14

How does the division rule for exponents help in understanding why anything to the zero power is 1?

Nookie1986 [14]

In the division rule you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base. One rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = 0,because 0/0 is indeterminate (it is like dividing zero by zero). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the zero power it will always be 1.

Jeremy randomly selected a round tile and a square tile from the sets shown below. what is the probability that jeremy selected

klio [65]

The probability that Jeremy randomly selected a round tile and a square tile from the sets is given as 1/40 (Option D).

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability in mathematics is the branch of maths that speaks to the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability is usually given or described to occur between 0 and 1.

1 is the likelihood that the event will occur while zero is the certainty that an event will NOT occur.

Taken in decimal form, the likelihood of the above event occurring will very slim, because, 1/40 = 0.025

How do you write the equation of a line (in slope intercept form) with three given points?

Mrrafil [7]

With even just two points, you can find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept

1) Solve for the slope ( $m$ )

The equation to solve for the slope is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ when the two points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ . Plug the coordinates of these points into the equation and solve for $m$ .

Then, plug $m$ into $y=mx+b$ .

1) Solve for the y-intercept ( $b$ )

Then, take any of the given points and plug it into $y=mx+b$ along with the slope. Isolate $b$ to get the y-intercept. Then, plug both m and b back into $y=mx+b$ to get your final equation.

I hope this helps!

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. you need to know the formula which is m = y2-y1/x2-x1

2. you plug in the numbers which would be 9-5/3-(-2)

3. you get your answer as 4/5

4. the answer is 4/5
