Answer:

The odds against drawing an eight are \frac{12}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 52 cards in a deck, 13 cards a suit and 4 suits, that means there are four eights in the deck, one of every suit.

That means, the probability of drawing an eight is:

P_{eight}=\frac{number of eights}{cards} =\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}

As we want to find the odds against drawing an eight, we want to find the probability of not drawing an eight.

The probability of drawing or not drawing an eight is one (the probability of taking a card if we take a card), and as they are not independent, we know that we have to sum those probabilities:

P_{card} =P_{eight}+P_{not eight}= 1

Then, we can find the probability of not drawing an eight:

P_{not eight}= 1- P_{eight}=1-\frac{1}{13} =\frac{12}{13}

That means, in average, 12 out of 13 times we will not draw an eight.

Use the intermediate value theorem to prove that there is a positive number c such that c2 = 2.
schepotkina [342]

So lets try to prove it,

So let's consider the function f(x) = x^2.

Since f(x) is a polynomial, then it is continuous on the interval (- infinity, + infinity).

Using the Intermediate Value Theorem,

it would be enough to show that at some point a f(x) is less than 2 and at some point b f(x) is greater than 2. For example, let a = 0 and b = 3.

Therefore, f(0) = 0, which is less than 2, and f(3) = 9, which is greater than 2. Applying IVT to f(x) = x^2 on the interval [0,3}.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
Ilya [14]

Answer:

x < - 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 46 - 8x > 22 ( add 46 to both sides )

- 8x > 68

Divide both sides by - 8, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < - \frac{68}{8} , that is

x < - 8.5
