Answer:

the probability is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability, P(Tails) to get tails is equal to:

P(Tails)=\frac{1}{2}

Because a penny have two possible options heads or tails and tails is one option.

Additionally, the probability P(3) that the number cube get a 3 is equal to:

P(3)=\frac{1}{6}

Because the cube have 6 possible options and 3 is one option.

Now, the probability P(tails and 3) is calculated as a multiplication of P(tails) and P(3). then, P(tails and 3) is equal to:

P(tails and 3) =\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the probability of the coin tossed being a tails.

The coin has two sides (heads and tails), so the probability of each case is 1/2, so the probabilty of having a tails is 1/2

For the number cube, we have six possibilities, so the probability of having a number 3 is 1/6

Now, to find the final probability P(tails and 3) we just need to multiply both probabilities:

P(tails and 3) = P(tails) * P(3) = (1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12

Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process.  First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1".  It should look like 9/1.  Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.

Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5.  It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence.  Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5).  Your new fraction should be 27/5.  This is your answer in the improper fraction format.

You can create other formats depending on the expected answer.  For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5.  This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.

12 + x to the power of 4 - 6 when x = 8
iren [92.7K]

value of  12+x^4-6 at x=8 is  5002 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

here we need to evaluate 12 + x to the power of 4 - 6 when x = 8 or , 12+x^4-6 where x=8 . Let's find out:

⇒ 12+x^4-6

Putting x =8 :

⇒ 12+8^4-6

Splitting 8 to power 4 into 8 to power 2 ( 2 times )

⇒ 12+8^2(8^2)-6

⇒ 12+64(64)-6

⇒ 12+4096-6

⇒ 4096+6

⇒ 5002

Therefore , value of  12+x^4-6 at x=8 is  5002 .
