What is the probability of drawing 2 cards in succession (without replacement) from a standard deck and having them both be face cards?

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of cards in a standard deck = 52

Then the number of ways to draw any two card = 52 x (52-1)

= 52 x 51 = 2652   [By Multiplicative principle]

Also , there are 12 face cards in a standard deck , so the number of ways to draw two face cards in succession = 12 x (12-1)

12 x 11= 132   [By Multiplicative principle]

Then, the probability of drawing 2 cards in succession (without replacement) from a standard deck and having them both be face cards would be

Hence, the required probability is   .

it is b)

step-by-step explanation:

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
