Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
the first term is 8x. 8 is the coefficient and x is the base. so the answer is 8.
The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
given the fact that the other side measures all multiply by 4 when they are enlarged in the second shape, we know that the scale factor is 4. 3 enlarged by a scale factor of 4 = 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
win
There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.
There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 = 12
There is 1 ace / suit
There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4
The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156
The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 = 12
Total gain = 168
Losses
Any other card costs you $5
How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36
Each one costs 5 dollars
Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180
So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.
