I forgot how many of each card there are and if you're counting the joker.
But just find the number of heart cards, and minus that from 52.
The answer divided by 52 is the probability that it's not a heart.
Answer: a²+b² = -99/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²
a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1
b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2
From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3
From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4
Adding 3 and 4, we have;
a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)
a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99
(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99
Taking the difference we have
- 2(a²+b²) = 99
a²+b² = -99/2
