Dustin has a spinner that is divided into 5 equal-size sections colored pink, blue, orange, white, and green. What is the probability that Dustin spins pink on the 1st spin and then spins a color other than pink on the 2nd spin?

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1st spin:

1 out of the 5 sections are pink, so the probability of spinning a pink on the 1st spin is 1/5.

2nd spin:

5 out of the 6 sections are not pink, so the probability of spinning a pink on the 2nd is 5/6.

Multiply the probabilities of the two spins to get the answer.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
