What is a cubic polynomial function in standard form with zeroes 1, –2, and 2?

Starting off with the polynomial in standard form would be extremely difficult, but we can construct one fairly easily with the zeroes we've been given.

We know from the given zeroes that our function has the value 0 when x = 1, x = -2, and x = 2. Manipulating each equation, we can rewrite them as x - 1 = 0, x + 2 = 0, and x - 2 = 0. To construct our polynomial, we simply use all three of the expressions on the left side of the equation as factors and multiply them together, obtaining:

(x-1)(x+2)(x-2)=0

Notice that we can easily obtain each our three zeroes by dividing both sides by the two other factors. From here, we just need to expand the left-hand side of the equation. I'll show the work required here:

(x-1)(x+2)(x-2)=0\\
\big[(x-1)x+(x-1)2\big](x-2)=0\\
(x^2-x+2x-2)(x-2)=0\\
(x^2+x-2)(x-2)=0\\
(x^2+x-2)x-(x^2+x-2)2=0\\
x^3+x^2-2x-(2x^2+2x-4)=0\\
x^3+x^2-2x-2x^2-2x+4=0\\
x^3+(x^2-2x^2)+(-2x-2x)+4=0\\
x^3-x^2-4x+4=0\\

So, in standard form, our cubic polynomial would be x^3-x^2-4x+4

Suppose box A contains 4 red and 5 blue poker chips and box B contains 6 red and 3 blue poker chips. Then a poker chip is chosen
sergejj [24]

Answer:

0.5172 = 51.72% probability a blue poker chip was transferred from box A to box B, given that the coin just chosen from box B is red

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Coin chosen from box B is red.

Event B: Blue poker chip transferred.

Probability of choosing a red coin:

7/10 of 4/9(red coin from box A)

6/10 of 5/9(blue coin from box A). So

P(A) = \frac{7}{10}*\frac{4}{9} + \frac{6}{10}*\frac{5}{9} = \frac{28 + 30}{90} = 0.6444

Blue chip transferred, red coin chosen:

6/10 of 5/9. So

P(A \cap B) = \frac{6}{10}*\frac{5}{9} = \frac{30}{90} = 0.3333

What is the probability a blue poker chip was transferred from box A to box B, given that the coin just chosen from box B is red?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.3333}{0.6444} = 0.5172

0.5172 = 51.72% probability a blue poker chip was transferred from box A to box B, given that the coin just chosen from box B is red
