There are 4 aces in a deck of 52 cards, so the probability of drawing an ace is 4/52 = 1/13 .

The area is calculated using the definite integral ∫ from 0 to 2 of x² dx. This evaluates to [x³/3] from 0 to 2, resulting in 8/3 .

First, find the gradient of the tangent by differentiating y = x², giving dy/dx = 2x. At x = 1, this gradient is 2. The normal gradient is the negative reciprocal, -1/2. Using point-slope form with the point (1,1), the equation is y − 1 = −1/2(x − 1), which is the equation of the normal .

The formula involves rewriting the equation in exponential form: 2x - 1 = e³. Solving for x, we rearrange to get x = (e³ + 1)/2, using the property of logarithms that allows conversion between logarithmic and exponential forms .

The derivative of y = 4x³ − 7x² + 5x − 1 is dy/dx = 12x² − 14x + 5. It's calculated by applying the power rule to each term, where the power of x is multiplied by the coefficient and then reduced by one .

To find the stationary points, differentiate the function: dy/dx = 3x² − 12x + 9. Set the derivative equal to zero: 3x² − 12x + 9 = 0. Solving gives x = 1 or x = 3. These x-values correspond to stationary points because they make the derivative zero, indicating potential maxima, minima, or points of inflection .

The solutions are found using the quadratic formula x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a, where a = 3, b = 5, c = -2. This yields x = [-5 ± √49]/6, resulting in x = 1/3 or x = -2 .

Integrate term by term: ∫6x² dx = 2x³, ∫-4x dx = -2x², ∫1 dx = x. The result of the integration is 2x³ - 2x² + x + C, where C is the constant of integration .

Using binomial expansion, (a - b)⁴ = a⁴ - 4a³b + 6a²b² - 4ab³ + b⁴. Here, a = 2x, b = 3. Plug in these values: (2x)⁴ - 4(2x)³(3) + 6(2x)²(3)² - 4(2x)(3)³ + 3⁴, resulting in 16x⁴ - 96x³ + 216x² - 216x + 81 .

The total sum is calculated by multiplying the mean by the number of values: 12 × 10 = 120 .
