Answer:
3a²b
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of two algebraic
terms is 6a3b2. If one of the terms is
2ab, find the other term.
Let us represent
First term = a
Other term = b
a × b = 6a³b²
a = 2ab
b = ?
b = 6a³b²/a
b = 6a³b²/2ab
b = 6a³b²/2a¹b¹
b = (6 ÷ 2) × a^3 - 1 × b ^2 - 1
b = 3a²b
Therefore, the other term = 3a²b
The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly = 1/2 = 0.5
The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is
(0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5) = 0.125 = 12.5% .

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses,
then on the average, the score you expect is
(0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8
= 400 / 8
= 50% .
If you're happy with that score, great !
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.
