Finding a Formula for a Sum In Exercises \(41-44\) , use mathematical induction to find a formula for the sum of the first \(n\) terms of the sequence. $$3,-\frac{9}{2}, \frac{27}{4},-\frac{81}{8}, \ldots$$
Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. Rolling a number less than 3 on a normal six-sided die has a probability of \(\frac{1}{3}\) . The complement of this event is to roll a number greater than \(3,\) and its probability is \(\frac{1}{2}\) .
Finding a Linear or Quadratic Model In Exercises \(55-60\) , decide whether the sequence can be represented perfectly by a linear or a quadratic model. If so, then find the model. $$0,6,16,30,48,70, \dots$$
Simplifying a Difference Quotient In Exercises \(67-72\) , simplify the difference quotient, using the Binomial Theorem if necessary. $$\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{b} \quad$$ Difference quotient $$f(x)=x^{6}$$
You are given the probability that an event will not happen. Find the probability that the event will happen. \(P\left(E^{\prime}\right)=0.92\)
