In a sequence, the 40th term is 70, the 41st term is 72 and the 42nd term is 74. a) State the term-to-term rule

b) Work out the first term

c) Work out the 80th term

term to term rule is +2

The first term is -8

80th term is 150

Step-by-step explanation:

70 to 72 is adding 2

72 to 74 is adding 2

term to term rule is +2

The equation for a sequence like this is

xn = a + d(n−1)

where n is the term number  a is the first term and d is the term to term rule

Using the 40th term is 70

70 = a + 2( 40-1)

70 = a + 2( 39)

70 = a + 78

Subtract 78 from each side

-8 = a

The first term is -8

80th term

xn = a + d(n−1)

x80 = -8 +2 (80-1)

     = -8+2(79)

    = -8+158

   = 150

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!
