Answer:

2x^2(x^3+3x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the gcf which in this case is -2x^2 because that's the greatest factor all of the terms have in common this results in -2x^2(x^3+3x+8)

Btw the ^ represents the exponent

A card is drawn randomly from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of the given event. (a) The card drawn is 5. The pro

Answer:

a. 1 / 13
b. 3 / 13
c. 10 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four 5's in the deck. This means that, from 52 possible cards to drawn, we have 4 chances of drawing a 5. This means that the probability will be:

$p = \frac{4}{52}$

$p = \frac{1}{13}$

For every suit, there are three face cards, J, Q and K. There are 4 suits, so, the total number of face cards its:

$4 * 3 = 12$

The total possible cards are, still, 52, so, the probability will be

$p = \frac{12}{52}$

$p = \frac{3}{13}$

We know that the card drawn must be a face card, o not being a face card. There is no third choice here. So, the probability of drawing a face card OR not drawing a face car its:

$p = \frac{52}{52} = 1$
