Step-by-step explanation:

(Ax² + Bx + C)²

= (Ax² + Bx + C)(Ax² + Bx + C)

= Ax⁴ + 2ABx³ + 2ACx² + 2BCx + C².

By Comparing Coefficients, we have:

A = 1

2AB = 6

2AC = 7

2BC = a

C² = b

Solving them we get A = 1, B = 3 and C = 3.5.

Therefore a = 2BC = 2(3)(3.5) = 21,

b = C² = (3.5)² = 12.25.

Suppose that 3 balls will be randomly put into 3 buckets, with each ball being equally likely to be put into each of the buckets

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of three buckets and only one can be chosen at a time, this would mean that the probability of a ball being placed in a bucket is 1/3. Since each ball has the same probability of being placed into any bucket regardless of the where the previous ball landed, it means that each ball has the same 1/3 probability of a bucket. In order to find the probability that all three land in the same bucket, we need to multiply this probability together for each one of the balls like so...

$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}$
