Answer:

a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because x-1 is factor of f(x)

for x1=1, f(1)=0, then

f(1)=5*1^3+a*1^2-4*1-2=0

5*1+a*1-4-2=0

5+a-6=0

a-1=0

a=1

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r
erastova [34]

Answer:

The probability is \frac{56!}{64!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.

The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8, 64 \choose 8 .

For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function  f : A \rightarrow A , with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.

Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.

We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

\frac{8!}{64 \choose 8} = \frac{8!}{\frac{64!}{8!56!}} = \frac{56!}{64!}
