In the game of blackjack, determine the odds of dealing yourself a blackjack (ace plus face-card or 10) from a single deck. show how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

There are 4 aces and 16 tens (10/J/Q/K of each suit). So there are (16*4= 64 ways to deal a blackjack with ace as first card and a ten as the second card- Ace/10. There are another 64 ways to deal it with a ten as the first card and the ace as the second card - 10/Ace. That's 128 first/second card combinations that are blackjacks.

There are 52 possibilities for the first card, 51 for the second for 2652 total possible first/second card combinations so the odds of dealing a blackjack are 128/2652, which reduces to 32/663 odds

Answer 2

Final answer:

The odds of dealing yourself a blackjack in a single deck game of blackjack, by drawing an ace and a face card or 10 in either order, is 128 out of 2652, which simplifies to approximately 1 in 20.7.

Explanation:

In the game of blackjack, to determine the odds of dealing yourself a blackjack (ace plus a face card or 10), we need to calculate the probability of drawing an ace and then a ten-value card, or vice versa, from a single deck. A standard deck of cards has 52 cards, with 4 aces and 16 ten-valued cards (10, J, Q, K across four suits). The probability of drawing an ace first is 4 out of 52, and then a ten-value card is 16 out of 51. Alternatively, the probability of drawing a ten-value card first is 16 out of 52, and then an ace is 4 out of 51.

The total probability is the sum of both probabilities:

Probability of Ace first, then ten-value card: (4/52) * (16/51)Probability of ten-value card first, then Ace: (16/52) * (4/51)

We then add these two probabilities together to find the total probability of dealing a blackjack from a single deck.

The total probability is (4/52) * (16/51) + (16/52) * (4/51) which simplifies to (64/2652) + (64/2652), or 2 * (64/2652), which simplifies further to (128/2652). Therefore, the odds of dealing a blackjack are 128 out of 2652, or approximately 1 in 20.7 when simplified.

A. 22.1 ft2
B. 20 ft2
C. 16.8 ft2
D. 13.5 ft2

Answers

As shown in the picture above, you are given an opening of the brick with a combination of a rectangle and a semicircle. To find the area of the total opening, you need to have the formula of the area of the rectangle and the semicircle.

A (rectangle) = LW
A (rectangle) = (4ft) (2.5ft)
A (rectangle) = 10 ft²

A (parabola) = 2/3ab
A (parabola) = 2/3 (1.25) (4ft)
A (parabola) = 5 (2/3)
A (parabola) = 3.33ft²

A (total area) = rectangle + parabola
A (total area) = 10 + 3.33
A (total area) = 13.33ft²

Amanda's penny bank is 23 full. After she removes 120 pennies, it is 12 full. How many pennies can Amanda's bank hold?

Answers

So if the bank was 2/3 full, and then after the pennies are removed it is 1/2 full, then the volume taken up by those removed pennies is the difference:
(2/3)-(1/2)=(4/6)-(3/6)=1/6

If there are 120 pennies in 1/6 of the bank's volume, then the total can be found by multiplying 120 by 6 (so that (1/6)*6=1 (the total volume))

120*6=720
You can fit 720 pennies in that bank

Answers

sin x cos x tan x cot x

Change to sin's cos's:-

= sin x cos x sin x cos x
------- -------
cos x sin x

= sin x cos x

C is correct

Final answer:

The identity sin x cos x tan x cot x = 1 is false. By using the definitions of tan and cot, we can show that sin x cos x tan x cot x simplifies to sin x cos x.

Explanation:

The student has asked to prove or disprove the identity sin x cos x tan x cot x = 1. To verify this identity, we need to remember the definitions of the trigonometric functions. The tangent (tan) of an angle is the ratio of the sine (sin) to the cosine (cos) of that angle, and the cotangent (cot) is the reciprocal of the tangent.

Therefore, tan x = sin x / cos x, and cot x = cos x / sin x. When we multiply tan x by cot x, we get:

tan x × cot x = (sin x / cos x) × (cos x / sin x) = 1

Now, multiplying this result by sin x cos x gives:

sin x cos x tan x cot x = sin x cos x × 1 = sin x cos x

Therefore, the correct equation is sin x cos x tan x cot x = sin x cos x, which means the correct answer is:

What is h(x) = –3x2 – 6x + 5 written in vertex form?
h(x) = –3(x + 1)2 + 2
h(x) = –3(x + 1)2 + 8
h(x) = –3(x – 3)2 – 4
h(x) = –3(x – 3)2 + 32

Answers

h=-3x^2-6x+5 subtract 5 from both sides

h-5=-3x^2-6x divide both sides by -3

(5-h)/3=x^2+2x halve the linear coefficient, square it, add it to both sides....

(2/2)^2=1 add 1 to both sides...

(5-h+3)/3=x^2+2x+1, now the right side is a perfect square...

(8-h)/3=(x+1)^2 multiply both sides by 3

8-h=3(x+1)^2 divide both sides by -1

h-8=-3(x+1)^2 add 8 to both sides

h=-3(x+1)^2+8

h(x)= -3(x+1)^2+8

Which number produces a rational number when added to 0.6?

A. 0.5050050005...
B. square root of 2
C. pie
D. 5/7 (fraction)

Answers

Your answer would be letter D

Answer:

Correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to choose the option for which number produces a rational number when added to 0.6

A rational number is an algebraic term expressed as a fraction. The fraction can also be in decimals but only if the decimal places are not repeating or finite(infinite then repeating). If they aren't, then these are called irrational numbers.

Let's try each of the choices:

A. The term 0.5050050005... is irrational number. Now, when 0.6 is added to it, the sum would be irrational.

B. √2 is an irrational number because its exact value is 1.4142135.. Even if you add 0.3 to it, the answer would still be irrational

C. Obviously, π is an irrational number and addition of rational to irrational always results in irrational.

D. The term [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] is a rational number. Now, when 0.6 or [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex] is added to it, the sum would be [tex]\frac{92}{70}[/tex] This is a rational number.

Therefore, the answer is D.

The mass of mercury is 330,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. how can this number be written in scientific notation?

Answers

Final answer:

The mass of mercury, 330,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, can be written in scientific notation as 3.302 × 10²⁰ kg. Scientific notation helps to express very large numbers in a more manageable form, using a coefficient between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of ten.

Explanation:

To write the mass of mercury in scientific notation, we need to express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of ten. The mass given is 330,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms, which can be written as 3.302 × 10²⁰. Since there are 20 digits to the right of the first digit (3), the exponent in the scientific notation will be 20.

In scientific notation, the mass of mercury is thus written as 3.302 × 10²⁰ kg.

When converting to scientific notation, we use multiplication and division techniques to adjust the original number, so the resulting coefficient is a value from 1 up to, but not including, 10. This method is commonly used by scientists and astronomers when dealing with astronomical numbers, as in this case with the mass of a planet or in chemistry with the mass of an atom.

The city is planning to install streetlights and wants five lights along a walkway of 60 yards. if there is a light at the beginning and at the end of the walkway and the lights are evenly spaced, what is the distance between each light

Answers

If you try to imagine a walkway has a total of 60 yards starting from the first streetlight down to the last streetlight. Knowing that there are a total of five streetlights all in all, that means there are only 3 left to space evenly between the first and the last streetlight. Consequently, there would be four spaces all in all. Please see the picture so that you would understand better.

That means there are 4 evenly spaced lengths measuring to x yards. Therefore,

x = 60/4 = 15 yards

The distance between each light is 15 yards.

a. yes, 3
b. yes, 1
c. yes, 2
d. no, it is not a polynomial

Answers

A. the degree of a polynomial is the value of the greatest exponent which in this case is 3

Final answer:

The expression x^3 - 9 is indeed a polynomial because it consists of a variable raised to a non-negative integer exponent and a constant. The highest power of the variable is 3, which makes the degree of the polynomial also 3.

Explanation:

To determine whether the expression x^3 - 9 is a polynomial and to state its degree, we need to look at the characteristics of polynomials. A polynomial is an expression that consists of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.

The expression in question, x^3 - 9, fits this definition because it involves a single variable x raised to a non-negative integer exponent (3), and a constant term (-9).

Next, to identify the degree of the polynomial, we look for the highest power of the variable in the expression. The highest power of x in x^3 - 9 is 3. Therefore, this expression is indeed a polynomial, and its degree is 3.

The correct answer to the question is: a. yes, 3.
