The sum of the 8 terms of the series 1-1-3-5- ... -13 is -48
The given sequence is:
1,-1,-3, . . -13
and there are 8 terms.
The related series of this sequence is:
1-1-3-5- ... -13
Notice that the series is an arithmetic series with:
first term, a(1) = 1
common difference, d = -1 - (1) = -2
last term, a(8) = -13
To find the sum of the series, use the sum formula:
S(n) = n/2 [(a(1) + a(n)]
Substitute n = 8, a(1) = 1, a(n) = a(8) = -13 into the formula:
S(8) = 8/2 [1 + (-13)]
S(9) = 4 . (-12) = -48

Answer:- a.The given expression is equivalent to
Given expression:-
Thus a. is the right answer.
To figure out who is taller, we can take each mixed number and find a common denominator.
5/16 (x3) 15/48
7/24 (x2) 14/48
This tells us that Ben is taller because Marcus is shorter than him by 1/48.
<u>Given</u>:
Given that there are 10 marbles in a bag. 4 are blue, 3 are black, 2 are white and 1 is red.
The marbles are selected by not replacing the drawn ones.
We need to the probability of selected a black marble and then a white marble without replacement.
<u>Probability</u>:
Let B denote the black marble.
Let W denote the white marble.
The probability of selecting a black marble is
The probability of selecting a white marble without replacement is
The probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is given by
Substituting the values, we get;
Thus, the probability of selecting a black marble and then a white marble without replacement is
Answer:
It is "A" or in other words the one that says (x-5)2+3 because when you graph it you can see it is the only one touching that point!
