At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.
To find the product of <span>-2x^3+x-5 and x^3-3x-4, we need to multiply each term in the first polynomial by the second polynomial. (So, x^3 - 3x - 4) times ....
-2x^3 = -2x^6 + 6x^4 + 8x^3
x = x^4 - 3x^2 - 4x
-5 = -5x^3 + 15x + 20
If we add all these together, we get (-2x^6 + 7x^4 + 3x^3 - 3x^2 + 11x + 20)</span>
so y=5x on a graph is going to look like a 5/1 slope. X represents days and Y represents miles. So (1,5) means in 1 day Fran runs 5 miles.
