Answer:

( x + 2 ) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Theo started to solve the quadratic equation

( x+2 )² - 9 = -5

He added 9 to both sides

( x + 2 ) ² -9 + 9 = - 5 + 9

( x + 2 )² = 4

Now he took the square root of each side

$\sqrt{(x+2)^{2} } = \sqrt{4}$

$\sqrt{(x+2)^{2} } =\sqrt{2^{2} }$

( x + 2 ) = 2

Therefore, resulting equation will be ( x + 2 ) = 2

square root of (x+2)^2 = x+2

square root of 4 = 2

so equation will now be x+2 =2

You're given that φ is an angle that terminates in the third quadrant (III). This means that both cos(φ) and sin(φ), and thus sec(φ) and csc(φ), are negative.

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(φ) + sin²(φ) = 1

Multiply the equation uniformly by 1/cos²(φ),

cos²(φ)/cos²(φ) + sin²(φ)/cos²(φ) = 1/cos²(φ)

1 + tan²(φ) = sec²(φ)

Solve for sec(φ) :

sec(φ) = - √(1 + tan²(φ))

Given that cot(φ) = 1/4, we have tan(φ) = 1/cot(φ) = 1/(1/4) = 4. Then

sec(φ) = - √(1 + 4²) = -√17

Which expression is equivalent to 10x²y + 25x^2

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

5x²(2y + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x²y + 25x²

to start we have to express the parts of the function as multiplication

2*5*x²*y + 5*5*x²

then we have to see that they have both parts of the sum in common, and what they have in common we get out of common invoice and what is left we add together.

5x²(2y + 5)

Five cards are drawn from a standard 52-card playing deck. A gambler has been dealt five cards—two aces, one king, one 3, and on

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The probability that he ends up with a full house is 0.0083.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a gambler has been dealt five cards—two aces, one king, one 3, and one 6. He discards the 3 and the 6 and is dealt two more cards.

We have to find the probability that he ends up with a full house (3 cards of one kind, 2 cards of another kind).

We know that gambler will end up with a full house in two different ways (knowing that he has given two more cards);

If he is given with two kings.
If he is given one king and one ace.

Only in these two situations, he will end up with a full house.

Now, there are three kings and two aces left which means at the time of drawing cards from the deck, the available cards will be 47.

So, the ways in which we can draw two kings from available three kings is given by = $\frac{^{3}C_2 }{^{47}C_2}$ {∵ one king is already there}

= $\frac{3!}{2! \times 1!}\times \frac{2! \times 45!}{47!}$ {∵ $^{n}C_r = \frac{n!}{r! \times (n-r)!}$ }

= $\frac{3}{1081}$ = 0.0028

Similarly, the ways in which one king and one ace can be drawn from available 3 kings and 2 aces is given by = $\frac{^{3}C_1 \times ^{2}C_1 }{^{47}C_2}$

= $\frac{3!}{1! \times 2!}\times \frac{2!}{1! \times 1!} \times \frac{2! \times 45!}{47!}$

= $\frac{6}{1081}$ = 0.0055

Now, probability that he ends up with a full house = $\frac{3}{1081} + \frac{6}{1081}$

= $\frac{9}{1081}$ = <u>0.0083</u>.
