Answer:

a = - 2 and b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side and compare relevant values to the right side

(ax²)(-6x^{b}) = - 6ax^{2+b}

For the 2 sides to equate then

- 6a = 12 ⇒ a = - 2 and

2 + b = 5 ⇒ b = 5 - 2 = 3

A die is thrown . find the probability of (1) a multiple of 2 or 3​
tangare [24]

Answer:

A die is thrown which means that it can land on either 1-6 on the die.So if you want to find the probability of the multiple of 2 or 3....we have multiplies of 2 in the die from 1-6 which is 2,4 and 6 if you count them they are just 3 numbers and since there is a probability of it to land on any of them it will be 3/6 which is 1/2 if yiu divide by 3 to it's lowest term....Then multiple of 3 is 3,and 6.which will be 2/6 which is 1/3 if u cut to its lowest term. Or in the question means addition sign in probability then it is 2 or 3 which is (1/2)+(1/3)=5/6.Thank you for the question
