You are a contestant on a game show called “Bargain or No Bargain.” You are presented with three briefcases, which contain rewar

ds of $700,000, $1,000, and $100. The host of the show says you can either open one random case and keep the amount inside, or you can accept a guaranteed award of $240,000. What is the mathematically correct decision, and why?
A.
Take the $240,000, because it is greater than the expected value of the briefcases.
B.
Choose a briefcase, because the expected value is greater than $240,000.
C.
Choose a briefcase, because the expected value is less than $240,000.
D.
Take the $240,000, because it is less than the expected value of the briefcases.

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the t
RSB [31]

Answer:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rocket is launched from the ground, So = 0 and S(t) = 0

Using s(t)=gt^2+v0t+s0 to get time t

Where g acceleration due to gravity = -4.9m/s^2. and

initial velocity = 39.2 m/a

0 = -4.9t2 + 39.2t

4.9t = 39.2

t = 8s

Substitute t in the model equation

S(t) = -49(8^2) + 3.92(8) + So

Let S(t) =0

0 = - 313.6 + 31.36 + So

So = 282.24m

The equation that can be used to model the height of the rocket after t seconds will be:

S(t) = -4.9t^2 + Vot + 282.24

You decide to bake some cakes. You need 150 g of flour for 12 cakes. How much flour do you need for 30 cakes?
miss Akunina [59]
150g/12cakes
150/12 = 12.5
12.5g/cake
12.5x30 = 375
Therefore, you need 375g for 30 cakes.

The hour hand on a clock is 4 cm long, and the minute hand is 10 cm long. What is the exact distance between the tips of the han
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2 sqrt(19)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angle between the two hands

360 /12 *2 = 60 degrees

We divide by 12 because there are 12 number and multiply by 2 because there are 2 number between 10 and 12

This is a triangle where we know 2 sides and the angle between them.

We can use the law of cosines to determine the third side

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcosC

Where C is the angle between sides a and b

a =4 and b = 10  C = 60  and we are looking for side c

c^2 = 4^2 + 10^2 -2*4*10 cos60

c^2 =16+100 - 80cos 60

c^2 = 76

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(76)

c = sqrt(76)

c =sqrt(4) sqrt(19)

c =2 sqrt(19)
