When parentheses are around a number being squared, the output value will always be positive.
For example: -2² vs (-2)²
-2² means the <em>negative of the square of two</em>, or -4
(-2)² means the <u /><em>square of negative two</em>, or 4
<em />
The y-coordinates are the same, so the length of this horizontal line segment is the difference between the x-coordinates.
Length = 7 - (-5) = 12 units
Total number of cards = 52
Total number of kings or queens = 8
P(King or Queen) = 8/52 = 2/13

Answer: The probability is 2/13.

Mathematically, yes.
Realistically, no.
The difference in their ages is the parent's age when the child was born.
Let's say that the youngest possible is 12.
Then the ratio would be 10:9 when the parent is 120 and the child is 108.
Not likely.
