-5

The leading coefficient means the thing you're multiplying your highest power by. Here, your highest power of x is x^2, and that term's coeff. is -5, so the leading coefficient is -5.

12j + 12 + 3j or 15j + 12. This is because if you use Distributive Property to distribute the 3, then you multiply 3 by all the number inside the parentheses. I have two expressions because once you get get the answer after you use the property, then you can combine like terms, such as 12j and 3j which is 15j. Hope this helps!

Answer:

The probability is $\frac{18}{38}=0.4736$

Step-by-step explanation:

The game of roulette wheel consists in spinning a wheel with 38 slots : 18 red, 18 black and 2 green.

If we suppose that the roulette is a fair roulette, then each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball and given that the ball lands in a red, black or green slot this event doesn't give us information about the following spin. Meaning that exists independence between each spin of the roulette wheel.

In our exercise, we spin the roulette wheel 3 consecutive times and each time the ball lands in a red slot. This doesn't give us information about the fourth spin (because of the independence).

Given that each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball we can calculate the probability of the ball landing on a red slot on the next spin as :

$P(Red)=\frac{18}{38}=0.4736$
