Answer:

$P(Spade) = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

In a deck, there are:

$Cards = 52$

$Spade= 13$

Required

Determine the probability that a selected card is a spade

This is represented as: P(Spade) and it is calculated using:

$P(Spade) = \frac{Spade}{Cards}$

Substitute 13 for Spade and 52 for Cards

$P(Spade) = \frac{13}{52}$

$P(Spade) = 0.25$

<em>Hence, the required probability is 0.25</em>

Which describes the calculations that could be used to solve this problem? Lauren has 42 muffins to pack into boxes and bags. Sh

Marat540 [252]

The correct answer is D, 'Subtract 42 - 12. Then divide the difference by 3'. Lauren has 42 muffins, and she can put 12 of them into a box, leaving her with 30 muffins to fit into bags. If she can fit 3 muffins in each bag, and she wants to know how many bags she needs, then she needs to divide 30 by 3 to get 10. This means that she will need 10 bags of 3 muffins to completely pack 30 muffins. She started with 42, but 12 of those fit into the original box, so we don't have to worry about it.

Hope this helps!

What are the solution(s) of x2-4-0?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

For $x^2 - 4 = 0$ , x = 2, or x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is :

$x^2 - 4 = 0$

Now, using the ALGEBRAIC IDENTITY:

$a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)$

Comparing this with the above expression, we get

$x^2 - 4 = 0 = x^2 - (2)^2 = 0\\\implies (x-2)(x+2) = 0$

⇒Either (x-2) = 0 , or ( x + 2) = 0

So, if ( x- 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2

and if ( x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = -2

Hence, for $x^2 - 4 = 0$ , x = 2, or x = - 2.

If f(x)=3x^3 then what is the area enclosed by the graph of the function, the horizontal axis, and vertical lines at x=2 and x=4

Ber [7]

Answer:

Area: 180 units2 (units 2 is because since the are no specific unit given but every area should have a unit of measurement)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area enclosed by the graph of the function, the horizontal axis, and vertical lines is the integral of the function between thos two points (x=2 and x=4)

So , let's solve the integral of f(x)

Area = $\int\limits^2_4 3{x}^3 \, dx = 3*x^4/4$ +C
