Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Any integer n > 1 multiplied by 2 will be even, that is

2n ← is even

Given

n² - (n - 2)² - 2 ← expand parenthesis

= n² - (n² - 4n + 4) - 2

= n² - n² + 4n - 4 - 2 ← collect like terms

= 4n - 6 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2n - 3)

Hence 2(2n - 3) ← will always be even for n > 1

You are dealt one card from a​ 52-card deck. Find the probability that you are not dealt a club
saveliy_v [14]
More card math! Easy!!


Exactly 1/4 of a 52-card deck of cards is clubs. Another 1/4 spades, another 1/4 is hearts, and the final 1/4 is diamonds. To find what one fourth of 52is, you can divide 52 by 4. That equals 13. So there are 13 clubs in the entire deck of cards. If you are trying <em>not </em>to get a club, you have to find the remainder of the cards without those 13. 52 - 13 = 39. This means that you have 39/52 odds of <em>not </em>getting a club. Simplified you get 3/4.

I did it the long way. A shorter was is to see that, obviously, one whole minus one fourth is three fourths.
