Answer : 5/22

A deck of cards contains 6 black cards and 6 red cards. The first card drawn is not replaced before drawing the second card.

Total number of outcome of cards = 12

Probability( any event)= favorable outcomes divide by total number of outcomes

Probability of selecting black card = $\frac{6}{12} =\frac{1}{2}$

The drawn card is not replaced . so 11 cards left . In that 11 cards, 5 black cards because one black card is already chosen

Probability of selecting another black card = $\frac{5}{11}$

Probability of selecting a black card followed by another black card =

= $\frac{1}{2}*\frac{5}{11}$

= $\frac{5}{22}$

If (cos)x= 1/2 what is sin(x) and tan(x)? Explain your steps in complete sentences.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answers are:
1) sin(x) = $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$
2) tan(x) = $\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:
Given:
$cos(x) = \frac{1}{2}$

Step 1:
Since, according to the Trigonometric identity:
$sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1$ -- (1)

Step 2:
Plug in the value of cos(x) in equation (1):
$sin^2(x) + ( \frac{1}{2} )^2 = 1 \\ sin^2(x) + \frac{1}{4} = 1 \\ sin^2(x) = \frac{3}{4}$

Step 3:
Take square-root on both sides:
$\sqrt{sin^2(x)} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$

sin(x) = $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

Now to find the tan(x), we would use the following formula:

tan(x) = $\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$ --- (2)

Plug in the values of sin(x) and cos(x) in equation (2):
tan(x) = $\frac{ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} }{ \frac{1}{2} }$

Hence tan(x) = $\sqrt{3}$

Does an equation always have a solution? Could you come up w/ an equation that does not have a solution? If yes, explain why thi

Damm [24]

An equation does not always have a solution. Sometimes, an equation can have a variable that does not equal the remaining value on the other side. For example, root negative x could never equal a number squared.
√-x ≠ 14²
This equation cannot have a solution because you can't square any number to get a negative solution. Therefore, x= no solution.

Divide. 6 ÷ 1/4<br>helpp

artcher [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s write them as numbers

6/1/4

Dividing by 4 means multiplying by its reciprocal.

Reciprocal of a number: Can be found when you switch the positions of the denominator and numerator

So reciprocal of 1/4=4/1=4

Next, we multiply by its reciprocal

6*4=24

Therefore, 6 divided by one fourth is 24.

Monica measures 91 milliliters of water into 9 tiny beakers. she measures an equal amount of water into the first 8 beakers. she

UkoKoshka [18]

To determine the amount of water in the first 8 beakers, you will subtract the 19 ml that are in the 9th beaker from the total to see how much water was actually put into the first 8 beakers.

91 ml - 19 ml = 72 ml.

The 72 ml are divided evenly between 8 beakers.

72/8 = 9 ml

There would be 9 ml of water in each of the first 8 beakers.
