Answer:

(a)  \frac{1}{18}            (d)  \frac{1}{9}

(b) \frac{1}{2}               (e) \frac{1}{3}

(c) \frac{4}{9}               (f)  \frac{1}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

On tossing a 6-face die twice the outcomes of E and F are:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6}

And there are total 36 outcomes of the form (E, F).

(a)

The sample space of getting a sum of 11 is: {(5, 6) and (6, 5)}

The probability  of getting a sum of 11 is:

P(Sum 11) =\frac{2}{36} \\=\frac{1}{18}

(b)

The sample space of getting an even sum is:

{(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6) (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (4, 2), (4, 4), (4, 6) (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5), (6, 2), (6, 4), (6, 6)}

The probability  of getting an even sum is:

P(Even Sum)=\frac{18}{36}\\ =\frac{1}{2}

(c)

The sample space of getting an odd sum more than 3 is:

{(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4),     (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3) and (6, 5)}

The probability of getting an odd sum more than 3 is:

<em>P</em> (Odd Sum more than 3) =

=\frac{16}{36}\\=\frac{4}{9}

(d)

The sample space of (E, F) such that E is even and less than 6, and F is odd and greater than 1 is:

{(2, 3), (2, 5), (4, 3) and (4, 5)}

The probability such that E is even and less than 6, and F is odd and greater than 1 is:

P(Even E1) =\frac{4}{36} \\=\frac{1}{9}

(e)

The sample space of E and F such that E is more than 2, and F is less than 4 is:

E = {3, 4, 5 and 6}     F = {1, 2 and 3}

Then the total outcomes of (E, F) will be 12.

The probability such that E is more than 2, and F is less than 4 is:

P(E>2, F

(f)

The sample space of (E, F) such that E is 4 and sum of E and F is odd is:

{(4, 1), (4, 3) and (4, 5)}

The probability such that E is 4 and sum of E and F is odd is:

P(E=4, E+F = Odd)=\frac{3}{36} \\=\frac{1}{12}

HELP ME WITH MATHHHHH ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST
Alla [95]

Answer:

  -3, 1, 4 are the x-intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder theorem tells you that dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) will result in a remainder that is the value of f(a). That remainder will be zero when (x-a) is a factor of f(x).

In terms of finding x-intercepts, this means we can reduce the degree of the polynomial by factoring out the factor (x-a) we found when we find a value of "a" that makes f(a) = 0.

__

For the given polynomial, we notice that the sum of the coefficients is zero:

  1 -2 -11 +12 = 0

This means that x=1 is a zero of the polynomial, and we have found the first x-intercept point we can plot on the given number line.

Using synthetic division to find the quotient (and remainder) from division by (x-1), we see that ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x² -x -12)

We know a couple of factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4, so we suspect the quadratic factor above can be factored to give ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x -4)(x +3)

Synthetic division confirms that the remainder from division by (x -4) is zero, so x=4 is another x-intercept. The result of the synthetic division confirms that x=-3 is the remaining x-intercept.

The x-intercepts of f(x) are -3, 1, 4. These are the points you want to plot on your number line.

Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the fruit. Use the variable you identified in que
vovangra [49]

Answer:

$4f

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume f represents the number of pounds of fruit.

We need to multiply the number of pounds of fruit by the cost per pound.

This is $f * 4, or in a simpler form, $4f.

What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?
Fantom [35]

you literally just need to add a single letter. You need to place the letters “t” and “r” to the word “shore”. After you do that, the word becomes “shorter”. Another possible answer is the word “Sorte”.
