Answer:

a = 7 and b = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x - 1) is a factor of f(x) then x = 1 is a root and f(1) = 0, thus

f(1) = 1³ + 10(1)² + a + b = 0 and

1 + 10 + a + b = 0 ⇒ a + b = - 11 → (1)

Similarly if

(x + 2) is a factor then x = - 2 is a root and f(- 2) = 0

f(- 2) = (- 2)³ + 10(- 2)² - 2a + b = 0, thus

- 8 + 40 - 2a + b = 0 ⇒ - 2a + b = - 32 → (2)

Solve (1) and (2) simultaneously

Subtract (1) from (2)

- 3a = - 21 ( divide both sides by 3)

a = 7

Substitute a = 7 in (1)

7 + b = - 11 ⇒ b = - 11 - 7 = - 18

The required polynomial is

f(x) = x³ + 10x² + 7x - 18

A city hosted a music festival that included three concerts. According to the sales database, 28% of the audience attended the f

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Percentage of audience in first concert $P(X)=0.28$

Percentage of audience in second concert $P(Y)=0.42$

Percentage of audience in third concert $P(Z)=0.30$

Audience Percentage at at-least one concert $P(X \cup Y \cup Z)=0.80$

Percentage of audience at first & second concert $P(X \cap Y)=0.10$

Percentage of audience in first & third concert $P(X \cap Z)=0.08$

Percentage of audience in second & third concert $P(Y\cap Z)=0.07$

Generally the equation for probability of attending all concerts $P(X\cap Y\cap Z)$ is mathematically given by

$P(X \cup Y \cup Z)=P(X)+P(Y)+P(Z)-P(X \cap Y)-P(X \cap Z)-P(Y\cap Z)+P(X\cap Y\cap Z)$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=P(X \cup Y \cup Z)-P(X)-P(Y)-P(Z)+P(X \cap Y)+P(X \cap Z)+P(Y\cap Z)$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.80-0.28-0.42-0.30+0.10+0.80+0.70$

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Therefore the probability that a randomly selected audient attended all the concerts

$P(X\cap Y\cap Z)=0.05$

Mr. Sullivan places tiles numbered 1 through 18 in a bag and assigns a number to represent each of the 18 students in his class.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Mr. Sullivan is being fair because one tile has an equal probability of being selected over another tile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is fair because every tile has the same probability of being selected, and as the selection goes on, the selected students are removed.
