Answer:

about 37% chance or, rounding to the nearest tenth, 36.5% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are only 6 black face cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 6/52

there are also 13 spade cards out of 52 cards, so the fraction is 13/52

to find the percent you have to add the two fractions becuase all you want to do is draw a black face card or a spade card. when you add them you get 19/52

then dividing the fraction gives you .3653846154 on my calculator :)

How would I solve 16x^4-41x^2+25=0 ???

sveticcg [70]

$16{ x }^{ 4 }-41{ x }^{ 2 }+25=0$

${ x }^{ 4 }={ ({ x }^{ 2 }) }^{ 2 }\\ \\ 16{ ({ x }^{ 2 }) }^{ 2 }-41{ x }^{ 2 }+25=0$

First of all to make our equation simpler, we'll equal $x^{2}$ to a variable like 'a'.

So,

${ x }^{ 2 }=a$

Now let's plug $x^{2}$ 's value (a) into the equation.

$16{ ({ x }^{ 2 }) }^{ 2 }-41{ x }^{ 2 }+25=0\\ \\ { x }^{ 2 }=a\\ \\ 16{ (a) }^{ 2 }-41{ a }+25=0$

Now we turned our equation into a quadratic equation.

(The variable 'a' will have a solution set of two solutions, but 'x' , which is the variable of our first equation will have a solution set of four solutions since it is a quartic equation (fourth-degree equation) )

Let's solve for a.

The formula used to solve quadratic equations ;

$\frac { -b\pm \sqrt { { b }^{ 2 }-4\cdot t\cdot c } }{ 2\cdot t }$

The formula is used in an equation formed like this :

$t{ x }^{ 2 }+bx+c=0$

In our equation,

t=16 , b=-41 and c=25

Let's plug the values in the formula to solve.

$t=16\quad b=-41\quad c=25\\ \\ \frac { -(-41)\pm \sqrt { -(41)^{ 2 }-4\cdot 16\cdot 25 } }{ 2\cdot 16 } \\ \\ \frac { 41\pm \sqrt { 1681-1600 } }{ 32 } \\ \\ \frac { 41\pm \sqrt { 81 } }{ 32 } \\ \\ \frac { 41\pm 9 }{ 32 }$

So the solution set :

$\frac { 41+9 }{ 32 } =\frac { 50 }{ 32 } \\ \\ \frac { 41-9 }{ 32 } =\frac { 32 }{ 32 } =1\\ \\ a\quad =\quad \left\{ \frac { 50 }{ 32 } ,\quad 1 \right\}$

We found a's value.

Remember,

${ x }^{ 2 }=a$

So after we found a's solution set, that means.

${ x }^{ 2 }=\frac { 50 }{ 32 }$

and

${ x }^{ 2 }=1$

We'll also solve this equations to find x's solution set :)

${ x }^{ 2 }=\frac { 50 }{ 32 } \\ \\ \frac { 50 }{ 32 } =\frac { 25 }{ 16 } \\ \\ { x }^{ 2 }=\frac { 25 }{ 16 } \\ \\ \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { \frac { 25 }{ 16 } } \\ \\ x=\quad \pm \frac { 5 }{ 4 }$

${ x }^{ 2 }=1\\ \\ \sqrt { { x }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 1 } \\ \\ x=\quad \pm 1$

So the values x has are :

$\frac { 5 }{ 4 }$ , $-\frac { 5 }{ 4 }$ , $1$ and $-1$

Solution set :

$x=\quad \left\{ \frac { 5 }{ 4 } \quad ,\quad -\frac { 5 }{ 4 } \quad ,\quad 1\quad ,\quad -1 \right\}$

I hope this was clear enough. If not please ask :)
