Find the number a such that the line x = a divides the region bounded by the curves x = y^2 − 1 and the y-axis into 2 regions with equal area. give your answer correct to 3 decimal places.

We want to find such that

On the left,

and on the right,

For the areas to be equal, we need

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
