To determine the probability that exactly two of the five marbles are blue, we will use the rule of multiplication. 

Let event A = the event that the first marble drawn is blue; and let B = the event that the second marble drawn is blue. 
To start, it is given that there are 50 marbles, 20 of them are blue.  Therefore, P(A) = 20/50
After the first selection, there are 49 marbles left, 19 of them are blue. Therefore, P(A|B) = 19/49
Based on the rule of multiplication:P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(A|B)P(A ∩ B) =  (20/50) (19/49)P(A ∩ B) = 380/2450P(A ∩ B) = 38/245 or 15.51%

The probability that there will be two blue marbles among the five drawn marbles is 38/245 or 15.51%

We got the 15.51% by dividing 38 by 245. The quotient will be 0.1551. We then multiplied it by 100% resulting to 15.51%

How many solutions does the equation have? |f − 2| − 2 = 13
Len [333]

Answer:

Two. f = -13 or f = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

|f − 2| − 2 = 13

|f − 2| = 13 + 2

|f − 2| = 15

f − 2 = ±15

f = 2 ±15

f = 2 + 15 = 17 OR f = 2 - 15 = -13

Which expression is a factor of this polynomial?
sesenic [268]

The factor is the solution of zeros of the equation and x + 2 making it zero therefore x + 2 will be the solution of the given polynomial so option (B) will be correct.

<h3>What are the roots of an equation?</h3>

Roots of an equation are the solution of that equation since an equation consists of hidden values of the variable to determine them by different processes and then the resultant is called roots.

Given the polynomial,

x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18

A factor is consist of a solution of zeros of any polynomial.

For example;

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

Here x + 3 and x + 2 are factor and solution is x = -3 and -2

Similarly,

x³ + 2x² - 9x - 18 = 0

The factor must be the solution to this.

By cross-checking option

Option (A) x + 1 = 0 → x = -1

Keeping x = -1

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 9(-1) - 18 = -8 ≠ 0 so it is not the factor.

Option (B) (x + 2) = 0 → x = -2

(-2)³ + 2(-2)² - 9(-2) - 18

-8 + 8 + 18 - 18 = 0 = 0 so it will be factor of the polynomial.

Hence " x + 2 will be the solution of the given polynomial".
