A bag contains blue and yellow marbles. Two marbles are drawn without replacement. The probability of selecting a blue marble an

igomit [66]

Let b = blue marbles
y = yellow marbles
Sum = b+y
The <span>chance of a blue marble being drawn first is:
b / (b+y) = 0.55
</span>The <span>chance of a blue marble being drawn first then a yellow next is:
</span>b / (b+y) * <span>y / (b+y-1) = 0.37</span>
This can be solve easily by using a theorem of Bayes
0.37/0.55 = .67 or 67%

Solve for x.<br><br> (x−2)^2+2=38<br><br> x= ___ or x= ___

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$x \: = \: \boxed{ \bold{ - 4 }}\: \: \text{or} \: \: x \: = \: \boxed{ \bold{ 8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x \: - \: 2 {)}^{2} \: + \: 2 \: = \: 38$

${x}^{2} \: - \: 4x \: + \: 4 \: + \: 2 \: = \: 38$

${x}^{2} \: - \: 4x \: + \: 6 \: = \: 38$

${x}^{2} \: - \: 4x \: + \: 6 \: - \: 38 \: = \: 0$

${x}^{2} \: + \: 4x \: - \: 8x \: - \: 32 \: = \: 0$

$x \: \times \: (x \: + \: 4) \: - \: 8(x \: + \: 4) \: = \: 0$

$(x \: + \: 4) \: \times \: (x \: - \: 8) \: = \: 0$

When it happens that the product of the factors is the same as zero. It is divided into two possible cases.

$x \: + \: 4 \: = \: 0 \\ x \: - \: 8 \: = \: 0$

We solve the two equations:

$x \: = \: - 4 \\ x \: = \: 8$

<h2>Answer: </h2>

$x \: = \: - 4 \\ x \: = \: 8$
