If I toss a fair coin in real life and I get two heads in a row, does that change the probability of getting one tail in every t

wo tosses? I know this sounds pretty stupid, but this is bothering me for a while. I mean, shouldn't I get alternate Heads and Tails for every two tosses I make? Or do I have to continue tossing up to infinity to get an equal probability of heads and tails?

Getting two heads in a row does not change the probability of getting a tail. There is a 50/50 chance for both heads and tails each time you flip a coin, because there are two possibilities each equally possible. The 50% probability of getting a tails is not a guarantee. It's possible to get more heads than tails, or vice versa. What the probability means is that on average the results are about equal, and you have an equal likelihood of getting either result. 

Mythbusters has an episode on this, actually. They explain it really well. I recommend you watch it.

B.
{x}^{2} + 10x + 25 - 2x - 10 - 24 = \\ x {}^{2} + 8x - 9 = \\ (x - 1)(x + 9)

C.
{x}^{2} + 4x +4 - 8x - 16 + 15 = \\ x {}^{2} - 4x + 3 = \\ (x - 3)(x - 1)
D.
2( {4x}^{2} - 4x + 1) - 18x + 9 + 4 = \\ 8x {}^{2} - 8x + 2 - 18x + 13 = \\ 8x {}^{2} - 26x + 15

PLEASE HELP WITH MATH.BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST. You have to find the volume of the figure below.
castortr0y [4]
Volume = width × height × length. First let's concentrate on the rectangular prism. This has 4 for its height and 5 for its width so you do 4 × 5 (=20) × 10 (because the length of the rectangular prism is the same as the triangular prism, so we will use the length of the triangular one) = 200m³ for the rectangular one. To work out the triangular one, it's the same, but whatever answer you get you divide it by 2 because a triangle is just a rectangle cut in half diagonally. Therefore, 3 × 5 (=15) × 10 = 150. Then divided by 2 = 75m³. Total volume = volume of rectangular prism + triangular prism Therefore total volume = 200 + 75 = 275m³.

HELP ASAP!! Can you explain how to decompose a rectangle into congruent triangles? How does the area of the decomposed pieces re
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: You would divide the rectangle into half, to form two congruent triangles. When you multiply the area of 1 of the triangles, it gives you the area of both triangles, and so the area of the triangle as a whole
