Answer: 4x(2x+3).

Step-by-step explanation: To factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. In the given problem, we can factorize the expression by taking out a common factor, in this case 4x:

$8x^{2} +12x=$

$4x(2x+3)$

as we can see, if we multiply 4x*(2x+3) we obtain the original expression.

Answer:

$4x(2x + 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression

$8x^2 + 12x$

and we must factor it

Note that the expression has no independent term

Then we can factor the expression by taking the variable 4x as a common factor

$8x^2 + 12x$

$4x(2x + 3)$

Finally the factored form of $8x^2 + 12x$ is $4x(2x + 3)$

Tell if the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

MakcuM [25]

The answer is D. When flipping a coin, the probability of getting tails does not change no matter how many times you flip the coin. It will always be 1/2.

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green. The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The green die has fa

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A bag contains two six-sided dice: one red, one green.

The red die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The green die has faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, and 4.

From above, the probability of obtaining 4 in a single throw of a fair die is:

P (4 | red dice) = $\dfrac{1}{6}$

P (4 | green dice) = $\dfrac{3}{6}$ = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

A die is selected at random and rolled four times.

As the die is selected randomly; the probability of the first die must be equal to the probability of the second die = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the first dice can be calculated as:

= $\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^4$

= $\dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4$

= $\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4$

= $6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^4$

= $(\dfrac{1}{6})^3$

= $\dfrac{1}{216}$

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in the second dice can be calculated as:

= $\begin {pmatrix} \left \begin{array}{c}4\\2\\ \end{array} \right \end {pmatrix} \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{1}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2 \times \begin {pmatrix} \dfrac{3}{6} \end {pmatrix} ^2$

= $\dfrac{4!}{2!(2)!} \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2$

= $6 \times ( \dfrac{1}{6})^2 \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2$

= $( \dfrac{1}{6}) \times ( \dfrac{3}{6})^2$

= $\dfrac{9}{216}$

∴

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both dies = P( two 1s and two 4s | first dice ) P( first dice ) + P( two 1s and two 4s | second dice ) P( second dice )

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = $\dfrac{1}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{9}{216} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = $\dfrac{1}{432} + \dfrac{1}{48}$

The probability of two 1's and two 4's in both die = $\dfrac{5}{216}$

By applying Bayes Theorem; the probability that the die was green can be calculated as:

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = The probability of two 1's and two 4's | second dice)P (second die) ÷ P(two 1's and two 4's in both die)

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = $\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{9}{216}}{\dfrac{5}{216}}$

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = $\dfrac{0.5 \times 0.04166666667}{0.02314814815}$

P(second die (green) | two 1's and two 4's ) = 0.9

Thus; the probability the die chosen was green is 0.9
