Let J be the number of marbles owned by John, and S the number of marbles owned by Steve.

John has three more marbles than Steve, so $J = S + 3 \iff J - S = 3$

They have 25 marbles, so $J+S = 25$

So, we have the following system:

$\begin{cases} J - S = 3\\J + S = 25\end{cases}$

Add the two equations side by side:

$(J - S) + (J + S) = 3 + 25 \iff 2J = 28 \iff J = 14$

Since John has three more marbles, we have

$S = J - 3 = 14 - 3 = 11$

Answer:

the first one is 18/32 and the second one is 125 games or 120

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first add all the numbers to get your denominator then add the probability of green aND YELLOW.

for the second you just divide 200 by eight to get 25 then times 25 by 5 to get your anwser

hope this helped :)

Evaluate using integration by parts

PolarNik [594]

Rather than carrying out IBP several times, let's establish a more general result. Let

$I(n)=\displaystyle\int x^ne^x\,\mathrm dx$

One round of IBP, setting

$u=x^n\implies\mathrm du=nx^{n-1}\,\mathrm dx$

$\mathrm dv=e^x\,\mathrm dx\implies v=e^x$

gives

$\displaystyle I(n)=x^ne^x-n\int x^{n-1}e^x\,\mathrm dx$

$I(n)=x^ne^x-nI(n-1)$

This is called a power-reduction formula. We could try solving for $I(n)$ explicitly, but no need. $n=5$ is small enough to just expand $I(5)$ as much as we need to.

$I(5)=x^5e^x-5I(4)$

$I(5)=x^5e^x-5(x^4e^x-4I(3))=(x-5)x^4e^x+20I(3)$

$I(5)=(x-5)x^4e^x+20(x^3e^x-3I(2))=(x^2-5x+20)x^3e^x-60I(2)$

$I(5)=(x^2-5x+20)x^3e^x-60(x^2e^x-2I(1))=(x^3-5x^2+20x-60)x^2e^x+120I(1)$

$I(5)=(x^3-5x^2+20x-60)x^2e^x+120(xe^x-I(0))$

Finally,

$I(0)=\displaystyle\int e^x\,\mathrm dx=e^x+C$

so we end up with

$I(5)=(x^4-5x^3+20x^2-60x+120)xe^x-120e^x+C$

$I(5)=(x^5-5x^4+20x^3-60x^2+120x-120)e^x+C$

and the antiderivative is

$\displaystyle\int2x^5e^x\,\mathrm dx=(2x^5-10x^4+40x^3-120x^2+240x-240)e^x+C$
