The jar has 6+5=11 marbles.
We have to find the probability of the following event:
1.We pick a marble from a jar that has 11 marbles in total, 5 of them are red
2.We pick a marble from a jar that has now 10 marbles in total, 4 of them are red (because in the previous step we picked a red marble and did not put it back in the jar)
The probability of the first event is:
The probability of the second event is:
The probability of the both events to happen is:
You know 1 is not a root because the sum of the coeffcients of the equation is 14, not zero.
It is fairly easy to try 3 by synthetic division (see attachment), which tells you that 3 is a root and the remaining quadratic factor is x²-3x-5. The quadratic formula tells you the roots of that factor are
... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (3±√29)/2
The appropriate choices are
... C. (3-√29)/2
... D. (3+√29)/2
... F. 3
_____
The quadratic formula tells you the solution to
... ax²+bx+c=0
is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
We have a=1, b=-3, c=-5.
