Re: *** Problems

# 328

By the rational root theorem:

Can only have these rational roots {-1/1,-1/2,-2/2,-2/1,1,1/2,2}

plugging them in we get roots of -2,1/2 and 1

Which means the factorization is of the form

Re: *** Problems

But I got this is answer in an different way.
Let A and B are two events.
Total number of outcomes=36
A= getting sum of 8 
B= getting a product of 12
P(A) = probability of the dices getting sum of 8=  (5/36)
P(B) = probability of the dices getting product of 12 = (4/36)
P(A&B) = probability of getting both sum of 8 and product of 12= (2/36)
P(AUB) = probability of getting sum of 8 or getting a product of 12.
so, we should find P(AUB)
Then P(AUB) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A&B)
Now, P(AUB) = (5/36) +(4/36) -(2/36)
                         = (7/36)
  (∴) P(AUB) =(7/36).
