The probability of getting a spade is 1/4, and the probability of getting a king is 1/13. Thus, the probability of getting a spade or a king is $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{13} = \boxed{\frac{17}{52}}$ .

What is the value of the expression below when w = 3. 4w^2 - 7w - 8

Makovka662 [10]

<h2>Answer:<em> </em><em><u>w =(-40-√4320)/-34=(20+6√ 30 )/17= 3.110 </u></em></h2><h2><em><u> w =(-40+√4320)/-34=(20-6√ 30 )/17= -0.757</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation: The prime factorization of 4320 is

2•2•2•2•2•3•3•3•5

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 4320 = √ 2•2•2•2•2•3•3•3•5 =2•2•3•√ 30 =

± 12 • √ 30

√ 30 , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is 5.4772

So now we are looking at:

w = ( -40 ± 12 • 5.477 ) / -34

Two real solutions:

w =(-40+√4320)/-34=(20-6√ 30 )/17= -0.757

or:

w =(-40-√4320)/-34=(20+6√ 30 )/17= 3.110
