I assume you mean -x^3 + 4x + 3
so what you need is 4x + 3 > x^3
the only whole number it could be is 2 because 2x2x2 +3 > 2x2x2

Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. Ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas

Anarel [89]

5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25

Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation

The following exercise refers to choosing two cards from a thoroughly shuffled deck. Assume that the deck is shuffled after a ca

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{663}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a well shuffled set of playing cards (52 in number) a card is drawn and without replacing it, next card is drawn.

A - the first card is 4

B - second card is ace

We have to find probability for

$A\bigcap B$

P(A) = no of 4s in the deck/total cards = $\frac{4}{52} =\frac{1}{13}$

After this first drawn if 4 is drawn, we have remaining 51 cards with 4 aces in it

P(B) = no of Aces in 51 cards/51 = $\frac{4}{51}$

Hence

$P(A\bigcap B) = \frac{1}{13} *\frac{4}{51} \\=\frac{4}{663}$

(Here we see that A and B are independent once we adjust the number of cards. Also for both we multiply the probabilities)
