On a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are i

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that on a six-question multiple-choice test there are five possible answers for each question, of which one is correct and four are incorrect

By mere guessing probability for choosing correct answer = p = 0.2

also each question is independent of the other

Hence if X is the number of correct questions then

X is binomial with p = 0.2 and n = 6

a) being correct on three questions,

=P(X=3) = 0.08192

(b) being correct on four questions,

= P(X=4) = 0.01536

(c) being correct on all six questions

=P(x=6) = 0.000064

At most, how many unique roots will a third-degree polynomial function have?
beks73 [17]

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial with degree n has at most n solutions. The "at most" depends on the fact that the solutions might not all be real number.

In fact, if you use complex number, then a polynomial with degree n has exactly n roots.

So, in particular, a third-degree polynomial can have at most 3 roots.

In fact, in general, if the polynomial p(x) has solutions x_1,\ x_2,\ldots x_n, then you can factor it as

p(x) = (x-x_1)(x-x_2)\ldots (x-x_n)

So, a third-degree polynomial can't have 4 (or more) solutions, because otherwise you could write it as

p(x)=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)(x-x_4)

But this is a fourth-degree polynomial.

How do you calculate surface area of trapezium with an angle<br>​
Kay [80]

Answer:  There are eight steps and two methods. I will be showing you one of them. If you're wondering, I am in 7th grade. I go to K12 online school.

Step-by-step Explanation: 1. Add together the lengths of the bases. The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid that are parallel with one another. If you aren’t given the values for the base lengths, then use a ruler to measure each one. Add the 2 lengths together so you have 1 value.[1]

For example, if you find that the top base (b1) is 8 cm and the bottom base (b2) is 13 cm, the total length of the bases is 21 (8 cm + 13 cm = 21 cm, which reflects the "b = b1 + b2" part of the equation).
2. Measure the height of the trapezoid. The height of the trapezoid is the distance between the parallel bases. Draw a line between the bases, and use a ruler or other measuring device to find the distance. Write the height down so you don’t forget it later in your calculation.[2]

The length of the angled sides, or the legs of the trapezoid, is not the same as the height. The leg length is only the same as the height of the leg is perpendicular to the bases.

3. Multiply the total base length and height together. Take the sum of the base lengths you found (b) and the height (h) and multiply them together. Write the product in the appropriate square units for your problem.[3]

In this example, 21 cm x 7 cm = 147 cm2 which reflects the "(b)h" part of the equation.

4. Multiply the product by ½ to find the area of the trapezoid. You can either multiply the product by ½ or divide the product by 2 to get the final area of the trapezoid since the result will be the same. Make sure you label your final answer in square units.[4]

For this example, 147 cm2 / 2 = 73.5 cm2, which is the area (A).
