can someone check if I did the ones I did right and help me on the ones I didn't do?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

31. and 35. are correct.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

okay thx can u help me on the ones i didnt do?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

For #32 try to distribute then simplify.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, for 32. use the distributive property twice. Then combine like terms.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do you need help with that?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Here is problem 32. \(\large 2xy^2(3x^2 - 2y) - x^2y(2x - 3xy) \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We need to distribute 2xy^2 through the first set of parentheses, and x^2y through the second set of parentheses.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

oh is it c?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\large =2xy^2(3x^2) - 2xy^2(2y) - x^2y(2x) + x^2y(3xy)\) \(\large =6x^3y^2 - 4xy^3 - 2x^3y + 3x^3 y^2\) \(\large = 9x^3 y^2 - 4xy^3 - 2x^3 y \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now it's completely done. Compare the answer with the choices.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

i oh what i did wrong i subtracted

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ready for 33.?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to find a probability of one event following another event. You need to find each individual probability and then multiply them together.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(probability ~of ~event = \dfrac{number ~of~desired~outcomes}{total~number~of ~outcomes} \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The first event is the first drawing. You have a bag with marbles, and you want to draw a red marble. The desired outcome is a red marble. How many red marbles are there?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

3/16

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Right. For the first drawing you have 3 marbles out of 16, so the the probability of picking a red marble the first time is 3/16.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Once you picked the first marble, and it was red, you do not replace it. Now you have the second event. Again, you want to pick a red marble out all the marbles left. For the second drawing, how many red marbles are there, and how many total marbles are there?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

that's the part i am a bit confused

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Remember the problem tells you there is no replacement. This is a very important piece of information. That means that once you draw the first marble, and it is red, you now have one less marble left. That means for the second drawing, you are now interested in 2 red marbles out of 15. What is the probability of drawing a red marble out of a bag that has 15 marbles, and only 2 are red?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

2/16

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Not 16 anymore. Remember that once you drew the first red marble, there is one less red marble, so only 2 red marbles, and also one less marble in total, so only 15.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

oh i see what u mean by

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

so 2/15

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Now you have the probabilities of the two separate events. 3/16 and 2/15. Two find the probability of both events happening, multiply the two individual probabilities.

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

so u want me to multiply them together now?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(p(red~marble~followed~by~red~marble) = \dfrac{3}{16} \times \dfrac{2}{15} \)

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

6/240=2/80=1/40

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

correct

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ready for 34.?

OpenStudy (marcoreus11):

yes

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A negative exponent in the numerator is a positive exponent in the denominator.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1469474780552:dw|
