Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
note when x = - 3
(- 3)³ + 2(- 3)² + 4(- 3) + 21 = - 27 + 18 - 12 + 21 = 0
hence x = - 3 is a zero and (x + 3) is a factor and dividing gives
= (x + 3)(x² - x + 7)
For zeros equate to zero
(x + 3)(x² - x + 7) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x² - x + 7 = 0 ← solve using quadratic formula
x = (1 ± ) / 2 = (1 ± 3i
) / 2
x = ±
zeros are x = - 3, x = ±
Answer:
0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass
Step-by-step explanation:
For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
.
If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?
He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So
0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass
