Answer:
a) 25%
b) 50%
c) 87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 
number of outcome in total.
a)First and last flips come up heads. There are 4 outcomes here. Probability of the event is 4/16 = 1/4, or 25%.
- HHHH
- HHTH
- HTHH
- HTTH
b) at least 2 Consecutive flips that is heads. There are 8 outcomes. Probability of event is 8/16 = 1/2, or 50%
- HHHH
- HHHT
- HHTH
- HHTT
- THHH
- THHT
- HTHH
- TTHH
c) At least 2 consecutive flips that are the same. There are 14 outcomes. Probability of 14/16 = 7/8, or 87.5%
- HHHH
- HHHT
- HHTH
- HHTT
- THHH
- THHT
- HTHH
- TTHH
- TTTT

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
square of 15 + square of x = square of 21
225 + square of x = 441
441 - 225 = 216
x = 216
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------
