<h2>Answer:</h2>

1. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting four heads?

Each toss has a 1/2 chance of getting a head.

So the chance of getting all four heads can be calculated as :

$1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16$

2. A coin is tossed four times. What is the probability of getting two heads?

Each toss can have 2 results, so 4 flips will have $2^{4}$ or 16 results.

Getting two heads means getting two tails also. So, we can get the number of times two heads come = $\frac{4!}{2!2!}$ = 6

We can write the groups like - {HHTT,HTHT,HTTH,THHT,THTH,TTHH}

So, the required probability is : 6/16 or 3/8.

3. Not getting two heads means getting 3 tails and 1 head or all tails.

Probability of having all tails = $1/2\times1/2\times1/2\times1/2=1/16$

Probability of one head(1st trial) and three tails = 1/16

Probability of one head (2nd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 3rd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (3rd trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 4th trials) = 1/16

Probability of one head (4th trial) and three tails (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trials) = 1/16

So, the total probability showing only one or none head and at least three tails = $1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16+1/16=5/16$

Foil: (x+9)(3x-4)

QveST [7]

QUESTION 1

The given binomial is;

$(x+9)(3x-4)$

First terms are multiplied: $x\times 3x=3x^2$

Outside terms are multiplied: $x\times -4=-4x$

Inside terms are multiplied: $9\times 3x=27x$

Last terms are Multiplied: $9\times -4=-36$

This gives us;

$=3x^2-4x+27x-36$

$=3x^2+23x-36$

QUESTION 2

We want to factor

$6r^5s+4r^4s^2-8r^2s$

The HCF is $2r^2s$

We factor to get;

$2r^2s(3r^3+2r^2s-4)$

QUESTION 3;

$x^2+x-2=0$

Split the middle term;

$x^2+2x-x-2=0$

Factor

$x(x+2)-1(x+2)=0$

$(x+2)(x-1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x-1)=0$

$x=-2,x=1$

The solutions are;

$x=-2$ and $x=1$

These are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function

$f(x)=x^2+x-2$

What is the measure of n?

horsena [70]

The value of n is 32 if the total; base length is 12(8+4) and n is the length of the perpendicular.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

We can use the altitude rule:

8/n = n/4

n² = 32

n = √32

Thus, the value of n is 32 if the total; base length is 12(8+4) and n is the length of the perpendicular.

Paul and Charlene are 420 miles apart. They start toward each other with Paul driving 16 mph faster than Charlene. They meet in

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

34 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be speed of Charlene, then speed of Paul will be x+16 as we are given that Paul is driving 16 mph faster than Charlene.

Let y be distance covered by Charlene, then distance covered by Paul will be 420-y.

Now we will use formula $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ . Upon using our given information we will get two equation and two unknowns as:

$x+16=\frac{420-y}{5}...(1)$

$x=\frac{y}{5}...(2)$

Upon substituting $x=\frac{y}{5}$ in 1st equation we will get,

$\frac{y}{5}+16=\frac{420-y}{5}$

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 5 we will get,

$5(\frac{y}{5}+16)=420-y$

$5\times\frac{y}{5}+5\times 16=420-y$

$y+80=420-y$

$y+80+y=420-y+y$

$2y+80=420$

$2y=420-80$

$2y=340$

$y=\frac{340}{2}$

$y=170$

Upon substituting y=170 in 2nd equation we will get,

$x=\frac{170}{5}$

$x=34$

Therefore, Charlene's speed is 34 miles per hour.
