The value that is missing is 12.
5a+3b = 24
(5+a)(3+b) = 49
The order of steps are different because one requires multiplication then addition while the other one requires addition then multiplication. But one sure thing is that they both need substitution.
Answer:
1. x^2+12x+32
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+8)(x+4)
x(x+4)+8(x+4)
x^2+4x+8x+32
x^2+12x+32
Answer:
a) 1/64
b) 1/4096
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.
a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096

<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.
