Answer:

The correct answer is "\frac{2}{5}". A further solution is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The probability of getting a 5 will be:

= \frac{4}{36}

= \frac{1}{9}

The probability of getting a 7 will be:

= \frac{6}{36}

= \frac{1}{6}

The probability of not a 5 nor a 7 will be:

= 1-[\frac{4}{36} +\frac{4}{36} ]

= \frac{26}{36}

= \frac{13}{18}

Now,

For roll of 2 dice,

⇒ P=\frac{1}{9} +{\frac{1}{9}\times (\frac{13}{18} ) }+{(\frac{1}{9} )\times (\frac{13}{18} )^2}+{\frac{1}{9}\times (\frac{13}{18} )^3 }+...

        =\frac{1}{9} [1+\frac{13}{18} +\frac{13^2}{18^2} +\frac{13^3}{18^3} +...]

        =\frac{1}{9} [\frac{1}{1-\frac{13}{18} } ]

        =\frac{1}{9} [{\frac{1}{\frac{5}{8} } ]

        =\frac{2}{5}

What is the function written in vertex form?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not present the graph, however it can be answered to help the student solve similar problems.

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

If the coefficient a is positive then the parabola open up and the vertex is a minimum

If the coefficient a is negative then the parabola open down and the vertex is a maximum

case A) we have

f(x)=3(x+4)^{2}-6

The vertex is the point (-4,-6)

a=3

therefore

The parabola open up, the vertex is a minimum

case B) we have

f(x)=3(x+4)^{2}-38

The vertex is the point (-4,-38)

a=3

therefore

The parabola open up, the vertex is a minimum

case C) we have

f(x)=3(x-4)^{2}-6

The vertex is the point (4,-6)

a=3

therefore

The parabola open up, the vertex is a minimum

case D) we have

f(x)=3(x-4)^{2}-38

The vertex is the point (4,-38)

a=3

therefore

The parabola open up, the vertex is a minimum
