Answer:
In two spins, there are 9 possible outcomes: AA, AB, AC, BA, BB, BC, CA, CB, CCIf we assume each of these is equally likely, then the probability of AB or BA is ... 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of 
is 55, while the degree of 
is 
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, 
is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, 
is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
Answer:
- (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2)
- (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4)
- 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it takes less work if I can eliminate obviously wrong answers. Toward that end, we can consider the constant terms only:
- -3 +(-2) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -10 -5 = -15 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 3(-5) -2(5) = -25 . . . . NOT equivalent
- -9 -(-4) = -5 . . . . possible equivalent
- -7 -(-5) = -2 . . . . NOT equivalent
- 2(-1) -3(1) = -5 . . possible equivalent
Now, we can go back and check the other terms in the candidate expressions we have identified.
1. (-16x² +10x -3) +(4x² -29x -2) = (-16+4)x² +(10-29)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
4. (2x² -11x -9) -(14x² +8x -4) = (2-14)x² +(-11-8)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
6. 2(x -1) -3(4x² +7x +1) = -12x² +(2 -3·7)x -5 = -12x² -19x -5 . . . OK
All three of the "possible equivalent" expressions we identified on the first pass are fully equivalent to the target expression. These are your answer choices.
