Answer:
option B (28/52)
Step-by-step explanation:
from probability
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
where
P(A∪B) = probability that event A or B happen
P(A∩B) = probability that event A and B happen simultaneously
P(A) = probability that event A happen
P(B) = probability that event B happen
the probability that the card is special or red
P( special or red)= P(special) + P(red) - P( special and red)
since
P(special)= 4/52
P(red) = 26/52
P( special and red) = 2/52
therefore
P( special or red)= 4/52 + 26/52 - 2/52 = 28/52
P( special or red)= 28/52
(option B)
Recall that in a right-triangle, the hypotenuse, or longest side, is √(a²+b²).
pick your poison.
Answer:
x= 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a right triangle and AC is the hypotenuse, then AC is 5.
This is a Pythagorean Triple 3-4-5
This is a stupid question. The teacher who asked this needs to go back to school.
A = x⁴ - 9y²
That's going to be a number. As long as it's positive we can choose any length for our rectangle L and we can compute the width by W=A/L. So the correct answer is the dimensions are L by (x⁴ - 9y²)/L.
They don't want the correct answer. They want you to factor this expression. We'll do it, but don't believe for a second this factoring somehow constrains the possible dimensions of some rectangle.
We use the difference of two squares, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)
A = x⁴ - 9y² = (x²)² - (3y)² = (x²+3y)(x²-3y)
Answer: x²+3y by x²-3y
