1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:
A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?
You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked
2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.
b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year
C. The number of times a dessert was offered at a special price.
Volume of a sphere and a cone
We have that the equation of the volume of a sphere is given by:
We have that the radius of a sphere is half the diameter of it:
Then, the radius of this sphere is
r = 6cm/2 = 3cm
<h2>Finding the volume of a sphere</h2>
We replace r by 3 in the equation:
Since 3³ = 3 · 3 · 3 = 27
If we use π = 3.14:
Rounding the first factor to the nearest hundredth (two digits after the decimal), we have:
4.18666... ≅ 4.19
Then, we have that:
Then, we have that:
<h2>Finding the volume of a cone</h2>
We have that the volume of a cone is given by:
where r is the radius of its base and h is the height:
Then, in this case
r = 3
h = 6
and
π = 3.14
Replacing in the equation for the volume:
Then, we have:
3² = 9
Answer: the volume of the cone that has the same circular base and height is 56.52 cm³
Answer:
6. Find the product for both sets of polynomials below by multiplying vertically. (4 points: 2 points for each product)
A)
4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x
B)
4x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 16x
7. Are the two products the same when you multiply them vertically? (1 point)
Yes, the two products are the same when you multiply them.
Making a Decision:
8. Who was right, Emily or Zach? Are the products the same with the three different methods of multiplication? (1 point)
Emily was right, the products are the same with all three different methods of multiplication.
9. Which of these three methods is your preferred method for multiplying polynomials? Why? (1 point)
I prefer the table method because it is easier to understand what is going on, know where and what to do, and it is nicely and neatly laid out in front of me.
