<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The fundamental theorem of Algebra states that:</u>
"A polynomial of degree 'n' will have exactly 'n' number of roots"

We know that the degree of the polynomial is given by the highest power of the polynomial.
Applying the above theorem on the given question, we can deduce that the polynomial that has exactly 8 roots is the polynomial of the 8th degree

<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<u>A. (3x²-4x-5)(2x⁶-5)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x²)(2x⁶) = 6x⁸
Therefore, the polynomial is of 8th degree which means it has exactly 8 roots. This option is correct.

<u>B. (3x⁴+2x)⁴</u>
The term with the highest power will be (3x⁴)⁴ = 81x¹⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 16th degree which means it has exactly 16 roots. This option is incorrect.

<u>C. (4x²-7)³</u>
The term with the highest power will be (4x²)³ = 64x⁶
Therefore, the polynomial is of 6th degree which means that it has exactly 6 roots. This option is incorrect

<u>D. (6x⁸-4x⁵-1)(3x²-4)</u>
The term with the highest power will be (6x⁸)(3x²) = 18x¹⁰
Therefore, the polynomial is of 10th degree which means that it has exactly 10 roots. This option is incorrect

Hope this helps :)

<span>The number of roots of a polynomial is determined by the highest power of the variable after all simplifications has been done. For the first option, after the brackets has been expanded, the highest power of x will be 8. The second option will have the highest power of x as 16. The third option will have the highest power of x as 6 while the last option will have the highest power of x as 10. Therefore, the polynomial function with exactly 8 roots is f(x) = (3x^2 - 4x - 5)(2x^6 - 5).</span>

Assume that the die is weighted so that the probability of a 1 is 0.1, the probability of a 2 is 0.2, the probability of a 3 is
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The probabilities of each outcome are the following:

for X = 1 is 0.6

for X = 2 is 0.35

for X = 3 is 0.049

and for X = 4 is 0.001

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider X as the random variable for the sum of outcomes "S" exceeds 3, this is: S\geq 4

Let's now analyze and consider the ways that X equals the different values:

X = 1: I throw the dice and the result is: 4, 5 and 6.

Then: P(X=1) = P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.2+0.1+0.3 = 0.6

Thus P(X=1) = 0.6

X = 2: The result after following the dice two times can be:

1 and 3, 1 an 4.... and so on until 1 and 6

2 and 2, 2 and 3... and so on until 2 and 6

3 and 1... and so on until 3 a 6

Then P(X=2) = P(1)xP(3,4,5,6) + P(2)xP(2....6) + P(3)x(1.....6)

Theory of Probability: Sum of all possible outcomes P(1)+P(2).......P(6) = 1

Then P(1......6) = 1

Then P(X=2) = P(1)x[1-P(1)-P(2)]+P(2)x[1-P(1)]+P(3) = 0.1x(1-0.1-0.2) + 0.2x(1-0.1) + 0.1 = 0.1 x 0.7 + 0.2 x 0.9 + 0.1 = 0.35

Thus P(X=2) = 0.35

X = 3: The result can be

1 and 1 and 2, 1 and 1 and 3.... until 1 and 1 and 6

1 and 2 and 1, 1 and 2 and 2..... until 1 and 2 and 6

2 and 1 and 1, 2 and 1 and 2.... until 2 and 1 and 6

Then P(X=3) = P(1)xP(1)xP(2....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6)

P(X=3) = 0.1 x 0.1 x (1-0.1) + 0.1 x 0.2 x 1 + 0.2 x 0.1 x 1 = 0.01 x 0.9 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.049

Thus P(X=3) = 0.049

Finally, for X to be 4, I only have the following possibilities

1 and 1 and 1 and 1.... until 1 and 1 and 1 and 6

Then P(X=4) = P(1)xP(1)xP(1)xP(1.....6) = 0.1x0.1x0.1x1 = 0.001

Thus P(X=3) = 0.001

What two whole numbers is the quotient between 37 divided by 6
Nitella [24]

Answer:

6 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we need to look at the two closest numbers that are divisible by 6. These are 36 and 42.

36/6=6\\42/6=7

As 37 is between 36 and 42, the quotient must be between 6 and 7
