Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 52 cards in total

there are total of 13 pairs of same cards with each pair containing 4 cards

Probability of getting a pair or three of kind card=1-Probability of all three cards being different

Probability of selecting all three different cards can be find out by selecting a card from first 13 pairs and remaining 2 cards from remaining 12 pairs i.e.

=\frac{52\times 48\times 44}{52\times 51\times 50}

for first card there are 52 options after choosing first card one pair is destroyed as we have to select different card .

For second card we have to select from remaining 12 pairs i.e. 48 cards and so on for third card.

Required Probability is =1-\frac{52\times 48\times 44}{52\times 51\times 50}

=\frac{22776}{132600}

Write as a product 27a^3−(a−b)^3
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

  (2a +b)·(13a^2 -5ab +b^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The factorization of the difference of cubes is a standard form:

  (p -q)^3 = (p -q)(p^2 +pq +q^2)

Here, you have ...

  • p = 3a
  • q = (a-b)

so the factorization is ...

  (3a -(a -b))·((3a)^2 +(3a)(a -b) +(a -b)^2) . . . . substitute for p and q

  = (2a +b)·(9a^2 +3a^2 -3ab +a^2 -2ab +b^2) . . . . simplify a bit

  = (2a +b)·(13a^2 -5ab +b^2) . . . . . . collect terms

Which expression is equivalent to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) Superscript one-half?
Phantasy [73]

The expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) is x Superscript one-eighth Baseline y Superscript 8.

<h3>What is an Expression?</h3>

In mathematics, an expression is defined as a set of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations formed according to rules dependent on the context.

The expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) can be found by simplifying the given algebraic equation,

(x^{\frac14}y^{16})^{\frac12}\\\\=x^{(\frac14 \times \frac12)} \times y^{(16 \times \frac12)}\\\\= x^{\frac18}y^{8}

Hence, the expression that is equal to (x Superscript one-fourth Baseline y Superscript 16 Baseline) is x Superscript one-eighth Baseline y Superscript 8.

How do I solve this question I’ve been stuck on this since last night
meriva

Observation one

From the markings on the diagram <1 = 60o The left triangle is at least isosceles. Therefore equal sides produce equal angles opposite them.

Now we have accounted for 2 angles that are equal (each is 60 degrees) and add up to 120 degrees. The third angle (angle 2) is found from this equation.

<1 + 60 + <2 = 180 degrees.  All triangles have 180 degrees.

60 + 60 + <2 = 180

Observation 2

<2 = 60 degrees.

120 + <2 = 180

m<2 = 180 - 120

m<2 = 60 degrees.

Observation 3

m<3 = 120

<2 and <3 are supplementary.

Any 2 angles on the same straight line are supplementary

60 + <3 = 180

<3 = 180 - 60

<3 = 120

Observation 4

m<4 = 40 degrees.

All triangles have 180 degrees. No exceptions.

m<4 + 20 +m<3 = 180

m<4 + 20 + 120 = 180

m<4 + 140 = 180          

m<4 = 180 - 140

m<4 = 40
