a)2/7

b)1/2

c)9/14

d)6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar contains 4 red marbles, numbered 1 to 4 which means

Red marbles = (R1) , (R2) , (R3) , (R4)

It also contains 10 blue marbles numbered 1 to 10 which means

Blue marbles = (B1) , (B2) , (B3) , (B4) , (B5) , (B6) , (B7) , (B8) , (B9) , (B10) .

We can calculate total marbles = 4red +10 blues

=14marbled

Therefore, total marbles= 14

The marbles that has even number = (R2) , (R4) ,(B2) , (B4) , (B6) , (B8) , (B10) =7

Total number of Blue marbles = 10

Blue and even marbles = 5

(a) The marble is red

P(The marble is red)=total number of red marbles/Total number of marbles

=4/14

=2/7

(b) The marble is odd-numbered

Blue marbles with odd number= (B1) , (B3) , (B5) , (B7) , (B9) ,

Red marbles with odd number = (R1) , (R3)

Number of odd numbered =(5+2)=7

P(marble is odd-numbered )= Number of odd numbered/ Total number of marbles

P(marble is odd-numbered )=7/14

=1/2

(C) The marble is red or odd-numbered?

Total number of red marbles = 14

Number of red and odd marbles = 2

The marbles that has odd number = (R1) , (R3) ,(B1) , (B3) , (B5) , (B7) , (B9) =7

n(red or even )= n(red) + n(odd)- n(red and odd)

=4+7-2

=9

P(red or odd numbered)= (number of red or odd)/(total number of the marble)

= 9/14

(d) The marble is blue or even-numbered?

Number of Blue and even marbles = 5

Total number of Blue marbles = 10

Number of blue that are even= 5

The marbles that has even number = (R2) , (R4) ,(B2) , (B4) , (B6) , (B8) , (B10)

=7

n(Blue or even )= n(Blue) + n(even)- n(Blue and even)

= 10+7-5 =12

Now , the probability the marble is blue or even numbered can be calculated as

P(blue or even numbered)= (number of Blue or even)/(total number of the marble)

= 12/14

= 6/7

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.
