A standard number cube, labeled numbers 1-6 on each side, is rolled three times. Mary says the chance of rolling a 2 all three times is 1/8. But John disagrees and says the probability for rolling a 2 all three times is 1/216. Who calculated the correct probability or rolling a 2 the three times the n number cube is rolled? Show work to justify your reasoning.

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have the same slope. so if the green line has a slope of -4, the slope of the red line is also -4.

i think this is a open ended question but i agree with other guy who said you should ask it at english section
