The correct answer is B) 1/13.

P(Jack of spades given spades) = P(J|spades) = P(spades and J)/P(spades)

There is 1 Jack of spades out of 52 cards; P(spades and J) = 1/52
There are 13 spades out of 52 cards; P(spades) = 13/52 = 1/4

1/52 ÷ 1/4 = 1/52 × 4/1 = 4/52 = 1/13

lesya [120]
Height of the woman = 5 ft
Rate at which the woman is walking = 7.5 ft/sec
Let us assume the length of the shadow = s
Le us assume the <span>distance of the woman's feet from the base of the streetlight = x
</span>Then
s/5 = (s + x)/12
12s = 5s + 5x
7s = 5x
s = (5/7)x
Now let us differentiate with respect to t
ds/dt = (5/7)(dx/dt)
We already know that dx/dt = 7/2 ft/sec
Then
ds/dt = (5/7) * (7/2)
        = (5/2)
        = 2.5 ft/sec
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the rate at which the tip of her shadow is moving is 2.5 ft/sec.

The slope of the tangent line to the curve x^3y+y^2-x^2=5 at the point (2,1) is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent to the equation at any point we must differentiate the equation.

x^3y+y^2-x^2=5

3x^2y+x^3y'+2yy'-2x=0

Gather terms with y' on one side and terms without on opposing side.

x^3y'+2yy'=2x-3x^2y

Factor left side

y'(x^3+2y)=2x-3x^2y

Divide both sides by (x^3+2y)

y'=(2x-3x^2y)/(x^3+2y)

y' is the slope any tangent to the given equation at point (x,y).

Plug in (2,1):

y'=(2(2)-3(2)^2(1))/((2)^3+2(1))

Simplify:

y'=(4-12)/(8+2)

y'=-8/10

y'=-4/5

Explain how a number and it's reciprocal are related adding 28 ?
asambeis [7]
<span>Step 1. Let x be the number and 1/x be its reciprocal.

Step 2. Then, since the sum of a number and its reciprocal is 25/12.

Step 3. Multiply 12x to both sides of the equation to get rid of the denominators.





Step 4. Subtract 25x to put the equation in quadratic form </span>

Fill in the blank with a constant, so that the resulting expression can be factored as the product of two linear expressions: 2a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Required

Fill in the gap to produce the product of linear expressions

2ab - 6a + 5b + \_

Split to 2

(2ab - 6a) + (5b + \_)

Factorize the first bracket

2a(b - 3) + (5b + \_)

Represent the _ with X

2a(b - 3) + (5b + X)

Factorize the second bracket

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

To result in a linear expression, then the following condition must be satisfied;

b - 3 = b + \frac{X}{5}

Subtract b from both sides

b - b- 3 = b - b+ \frac{X}{5}

- 3 = \frac{X}{5}

Multiply both sides by 5

- 3 * 5 = \frac{X}{5} * 5

X = -15

Substitute -15 for X in 2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{X}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b + \frac{-15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - \frac{15}{5})

2a(b - 3) + 5(b - 3)

(2a + 5)(b - 3)

The two linear expressions are (2a+ 5) and (b - 3)

Their product will result in 2ab - 6a + 5b - 15

<em>Hence, the constant is -15</em>
