What is the probability of picking a red ball twice from a bag of 6 blue balls and 3 red balls, without replacement.

The probability of picking a ball from a bag is the number of balls of that colour divided by the total number of balls.

Therefore in the first instance, the probability of a red ball is 3/9 or 1/3...

If a bag contains 6 green balls and 3 red balls, what the probability of picking out 2 red, with and without replacement.

For the first ball the probability we pick a red ball is the same, it's the number of red balls divided by the total number of balls. Which in this case is 3/9. 

If we replace the balls the chance ...

Find where the curve 2x^2 + xy + y^2 = 14 has stationary points

d/dx (xy) = x dy/dx + y 

d/dx (y^2) = 2y dy/dx [This is from the chain rule]

So, d/dx (2x^2 + xy + y^2 = 14) 

=> 4x + x dy/dx + y + 2y dy/dx = 0

set dy/dx = 0 as stationary ...

Using complex numbers, derive the trigonometric identities for cos(2θ) and sin(2θ).

When dealing with complex numbers and trigonometric functions, always turn to DeMoivre's Theorem that states [cos(θ)+isin(θ)]n = [cos(nθ)+isin(nθ)]. If we set n=2, the we see a combina...
