Eight rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other ro

oks? Translation for those unfamiliar with chess: 8 unit squares are chosen uniformly at random from an 8x8 grid, no 2 overlapping. What is the probability that no two chosen squares share a row or a column?

Answer:

9.11*10^-4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, you simply need to find the possible outcomes that allows no rooks to be in danger, and the possible amount of ways to place the rooks.

For the first outcome, you start by putting 1 rook in the first columns, you have 8 possible rows to do this. The next rook in the next column will only have 7 possible rows, as you have to exclude the one where the previous rook is located. The next rook, 6 possibilities, the next 5, and so on. So we conclude that the total amount of ways so that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks is 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 8! = 40320

In order to find the total amount of ways to place the rooks, you can just use a combinatoric:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}64\\8\end{array}\right]= \frac{64!}{8!(64-8)!} = 4.43*10^9

Then:

P = \frac{40320}{4.43*10^9}*100\%=9.11*10^{-4}\%

What does 4x-2y=2 equal to step by step
podryga [215]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = 2

So I'm assuming that your goal is to solve for the value of y in terms of x

First: the whole equation can be divided by 2

2x - y = 1

Second: subtract 2x from both sides

-y = -2x + 1

Third: divide each side by -1

y = 2x - 1

Done! I would appreciate Brainliest but no worries.

A rental car agency charges $210.00 per week plus 0.25 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for $34
Greeley [361]

Answer:

548 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

O.25m + 210 = 347

0.25m = 347 - 210

0.25m = 137

m = 137/0.25

m = 548

What sine function represents an amplitude of 4, a period of pi over 2, no horizontal shift, and a vertical shift of −3?
mixer [17]

Answer:

f(x) = 4sin(\frac{\pi}{2}x) - 3, the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining the sine function:

The sine function is defined by:

S = Asin(p(x - x_{0})) + V

In which A is the amplitude, p = \frac{2\pi}{N} is the period, x_{0} is the horizontal shift and V is the vertical shift.

So, in your problem:

The amplitude is 4, so A = 4.

The period is \frac{\pi}{2}, so p = \frac{\pi}{2}.

There is no horizontal shift, so x_{0} = 0.

The vertical shift is −3, so V = -3.

The sine function that represents these following conditions is

f(x) = 4sin(\frac{\pi}{2}x) - 3, the third one
