Leanne collects data throughout the basketball season and uses these data to determine the probabilities of
different teams playing in the league championship game. The probabilities for her four favorite teams playing in
the championship game are shown below,
• Tigers, P = 3
• Redbirds, P =
• Bulldogs: P
• Titans: P = 2
Which of these teams is least likely to play in the championship game?
A Tigers
B Redbirds
C Bulldogs
DTitans

factor trees are nice.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,

mrb
