Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we throw a die , Total outcomes =6
When we throw 3 dice , Total outcomes = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 [by fundamental counting principle]
Given : Three fair dice are rolled, one red, one green and one blue.
Favorable outcomes : When the upturned faces of the three dice are all of different numbers i.e. no repetition of numbers allowed
By Permutations , the number of favorable outcomes =
The probability that the upturned faces of the three dice are all of different numbers =
The probability that the upturned faces of the three dice are all of different numbers is .
This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation involving a polynomial of degree 2. To solve them, you must rearrange them first, so that all terms are on the same side, so we get
i.e. now we're looking for the roots of the polynomial. To find them, we can use the following formula:
where is a compact way to indicate both solutions
and
, while
are the coefficients of the quadratic equation, i.e. we consider the polynomial
.
So, in your case, we have
Plug those values into the formula to get
So, the two solutions are
