(a)

different possibilities
(b)


So, there is a 1 in 4 chance that both dice will show an even.
Answer:
Nine is 76, no clue about eight
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute y=4x to the second equation:
x^2 + (4x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 16x^2 = 17
17x^2 = 17
x^2 = 17/17
x^2 = 1
x = 1 and -1
When x=1, y=4(1) = 4
When x=-1, y=4(-1) = -4
Thus the solutions would be (1,4) and (-1,-4). That would correspond to D. and A.
Answer:
00:13 mm:ss
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 60 seconds in a minute. This fact can be used to convert the time period(s) to minutes and seconds either before or after you do the subtraction.
<h3>Difference</h3>
It is often convenient to do arithmetic with all of the numbers having the same units. Here, we are given two values in seconds and asked for their difference.
100 s - 87 s = (100 -87) s = 13 s
The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.
<h3>Conversion</h3>
If you like, the numbers can be converted to minutes and seconds before the subtraction. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the number of minutes is found by dividing seconds by 60. The remainder is the number of seconds that will be added to the time in minutes:
87 seconds = ⌊87/60⌋ minutes + (87 mod 60) seconds
= 1 minute 27 seconds
100 seconds = ⌊100/60⌋ minutes + (100 mod 60) seconds
= 1 minute 40 seconds
Then the difference is found in the same way we would find a difference involving different variables. (A unit can be treated as though it were a variable.)
(1 min 40 s) -(1 min 27 s) = (1 -1 min) + (40-27 s) = 0 min 13 s
The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.
Answer:
-56/9
Step-by-step explanation:
By Vieta's formulas,
$r + s = -\frac{4}{3}$ and $rs = \frac{12}{3} = 4.$ Squaring the equation $r + s = -\frac{4}{3},$ we get
$r^2 + 2rs + s^2 = \frac{16}{9}.$ Therefore,
$r^2 + s^2 = \frac{16}{9} - 2rs = \frac{16}{9} - 2 \cdot 4 = -\frac{56}{9}}$
