Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 primes. So the probability for the first draw is 4/9. Since the card is not replaced, the second probability is 3/8. 3/8 * 4/9 is 12/72, which simplifies into 1/6.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 possible primes: 2, 3, 5, 7

First card has 4/9 probability of being a prime. Second card has 3/8 probability of being a prime(since 3 prime cards left and 8 total cards left because we do not replace the first card). 4/9 * 3/8 = 1/6.

Another way to do this is using combinatorics. C(9,2) = 36 ways to choose 2 distinct cards, C(4,2) = 6 ways to choose two of the "prime" cards. 6/36 = 1/6.

Answer:

2. The answer should be the last one.

3. The answer should be the first three.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 2</u>

KE = (1/2)mv²

2KE = mv²

v² = 2KE/m

v = ±√(2KE/m)

Therefore the answer should be the last one.

<u>Question 3</u>

b^(1/2) * b^(5/2)

Remember that the <u><em>product rule</em></u> states that b^x * b^y = b^(x+y)

So this means b^(1/2) * b^(5/2) = b^(1/2+5/2) = b^(6/2) = b^3

Also remember that the <u><em>power rule</em></u> states that √b = b^(1/2)

so this means b^(6/2) can also be written as (√b)^6

Therefore the answer should be the first three.

<em>If you want to double check all of your answers, just replace b with a number (for example, 2), and plug all of the choices into the calculator. Just </em><u><em>make sure</em></u><em> you are </em><u><em>very careful</em></u><em> when typing into the calculator.</em>

What is the value of X
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
