Answer: If you roll two fair six-sided dice, the probability that the sum is 5 or lower is 5/18.

Explanation: Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

For an experiment having n number of outcomes, the number of favorable outcomes can be denoted by x

Let ‘x’ be the number on the first dice.

‘Y’ be the number on second dice.

We have to find the probability that the sum is 5 or lower i.e. (x + y) <= 5.

Total number of possible results from two six-sided dice is 6 × 6 = 36.

The possible results that the sum is lower than 4 is (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2) and (4,1).

Number of possible results for the sum is 5 or lower is 10.

The probability that the sum is 5 or lower = 10/36

=5/18

Therefore, the probability that the sum is 5 or lower is 5/18.

13x = 39 can replace 3x + 5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution.

Vertical Asymptote: x=2Horizontal Asymptote: NoneEquation of the Slant/Oblique Asymptote: y=x 3+23 Explanation:Given:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Step.1:To find the Vertical Asymptote:a. Factor where possibleb. Cancel common factors, if anyc. Set Denominator = 0We will start following the steps:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6We will factor where possible:y=f(x)=(x+3)(x−3)3x−6If there are any common factors in the numerator and the denominator, we can cancel them.But, we do not have any.Hence, we will move on.Next, we set the denominator to zero.(3x−6)=0Add 6 to both sides.(3x−6+6)=0+6(3x−6+6)=0+6⇒3x=6⇒x=63=2Hence, our Vertical Asymptote is at x=2Refer to the graph below:enter image source hereStep.2:To find the Horizontal Asymptote:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Since the highest degree of the numerator is greater than the highest degree of the denominator,Horizontal Asymptote DOES NOT EXISTStep.3:To find the Slant/Oblique Asymptote:Consider:y=f(x)=x2−93x−6Since, the highest degree of the numerator is one more than the highest degree of the denominator, we do have a Slant/Oblique AsymptoteWe will now perform the Polynomial Long Division usingy=f(x)=x2−93x−6enter image source hereHence, the Result of our Long Polynomial Division isx3+23+(−53x−6)
