Answer: The probability is 1/8

Explanation:

Probability is a ratio of the number of relevant outcomes and total number of possible outcomes.

We are flipping the coin three times.

The number of relevant outcomes is 1 (one triple {Head, Head, Tail})

The number of all possible outcomes is the product of 2 possibilities (Head or Tail) on first toss, times another 2 on second, times another 2 on third, so 2^3 = 8.

The probability P = 1/8

Factorize x^2/16+xy+4y^2

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{16} +xy+4y^2$ can be factored out as: $(\frac{x}{4} +2\,y)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the perfect square of a binomial :

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Now, let's try to identify the values of $a$ and $b$ in the given trinomial.

Notice that the first term and the last term are perfect squares:

$\frac{x^2}{16} = (\frac{x}{4} )^2\\4y^2=(2y)^2$

so, we can investigate what the middle term would be considering our $a=\frac{x}{4}$ , and $b=2y$ :

$2\,a\,b=2\,(\frac{x}{4}) \,(2\,y)=x\,y$

Therefore, the calculated middle term agrees with the given middle term, so we can conclude that this trinomial is the perfect square of the binomial:

$(\frac{x}{4} +2\,y)^2$

Find the gradients of lines A and B.

kherson [118]

Hey, you didn’t provide any picture or further context.

To solve for gradient, do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
So what do you think?
