Geometric series probability

Alex and Mary take turns tossing one die; Alex goes first. The winner is the first player to throw a 4. Find a number for the probability that Alex wins.-P[throw 4] = 1/6 = p, P[throw non-4] = 5/6 = q

What is the greatest possible # of points of intersection of 2 circles if 1 has a radius 2x the radius of the

of the other one? Also explain reasoning?-two circle cant intersect more than two point doesnt matter wat are their radii....-Maximum No of points any 2 circles can meet is 2, whatever be the radii o

X+y=0, x-y=k. If the ordered pair (1,p), where x=1 and y=p, is the solutions to both equations, what is k

a) -2 b) -1 c) 0 d) 1 e) 2 Also explain how to figure this out, thanks xox-x + y = 0 1 + p = 0 p = -1 1 - (-1) = k 1 + 1 = k k = 2 E-e. 2 Two equations in two unknowns:x + y = 0 and x - y = k Add t

How do you do this question? Please help. 10 points for correct answer with steps

A point (x,y) moves along a curve, (x^2+4)^2, in such a way that the y-coordinate is increasing at a rate of 3 units per second. Find the corresponding rate of change of the x-coordinate when x=1.-...

Geometric sequence question...

Write a rule given a term and common ratio where a_4=12 and r=2. Thanks!-a_n = a_1 r^(n-1) a_4 = a_1(2)^3 12 = a_1(8) 12/8 = a_1 a_1 = 1.5 Now write the rule for the nth term: a_n = 1.5(2)^(n-1)
