The number of chips of different colors in Vicky's bag is shown below: 5 blue chips 11 pink chips 9 white chips Vicky takes out

a chip from the bag randomly without looking. She replaces the chip and then takes out another chip from the bag. What is the probability that Vicky takes out a blue chip in both draws?

Answer:

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{1}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chips of different colors in Vicky's bag is shown below:

5 blue chips   11 pink chips       9 white chips.

The total number of chips in Vicky's bag are: 25

( since, 5+11+9=25 chips)

Also,

the choosing of the chip is done on the basis of replacement.

This means when one chip is drawn it is put back into the bag and then the other chip is drawn.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

This means that:

P(Blue)=5/25

( Since there are 5 blue chips out of 25 chips)

As the drawing of chip in first draw is independent of the second draw.

Hence, the probability that Vicky takes out a blue chip in both draws is calculated as:

P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=P(Blue)\times P(Blue)\\\\P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=\dfrac{5}{25}\times \dfrac{5}{25}\\\\P(Choosing\ Blue\ in\ both\ draw)=\dfrac{1}{25}

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which polynomial function has exactly 8 roots?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Polynomials of degree 8 have exactly 8 roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that every polynomial of degree n

P(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+...+a_nx^n

with

a_n\neq 0

has exactly n roots.

But the roots may be complex numbers.

In your case n=8, so polynomials of degree 8 have exactly 8 roots.

The roots need not be different.

For example, for the polynomial

x^2-4x+4

x=2 is root twice.

Find all real numbers z for which the equation (z-5)x^2-zx+5=0 only has one real solution. Please help!! I am giving Brainliest!
frutty [35]

Answer:

z = 5

x = 0

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(z - 5)x^2 - (z - 5)x = 0          Take out z - 5 as a common factor

(z - 5)(x^2 - x)                        Take out x as a common factor

(z - 5)(x)(x - 1)                          Any one of these could equal 0. There are 3 solutons.

z - 5 = 0                                  Add 5 to both sides

z - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

z = 5

===============

x = 0

===============

x - 1 = 0

x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1    

x = 1

==============

Paul filled pint containers with 440 cups of water. How many pint containers did Paul need? 1 pint = 2 cups
Tju [1.3M]
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 1pint ------> 2cups
 x -----------> 440 cups
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (440/2) * (1)
 x = 220 pint containers.
 Answer:
 
Paul needs about:
 
x = 220 pint containers.
