There is a profit of $39.7.

It is given that there 100 tickets costing $10 per ticket.

You must look first for the probability of the 4 prizes which are $475, $195, $30, and no prize.

P ($475 prize) = 1/100 or 0.01

P ($95 prize) = 2/100 or 0.02

P ($30 prize) = 4/100 or 0.04

P (No prize) = 100/100 – 1+2+4/100 =93/100 .93

Expected gain or loss is computed by: (P(x)* n)

E= (475-10)*.01 + (95-10)*0.02 + (30-10)* 0.04 + (-10)*.93

= 46.5 + 1.70 + 0.8 – 9.3

E = 39.7

There is a profit of $39.7.

Use appropriate algebra and theorem 7.2.1 to find the given inverse laplace transform. (write your answer as a function of t.) −
aleksley [76]
When it comes to laplace equations, there are transformation equations to follow. Generally, when you want to transform a laplace equation, you change the equation from f(t) to F(s). If you do the reverse, it is called the reverse laplace equation.

Based on the given, the useful transformation equation is shown in the attached picture.

When the term is s^2, that must mean that the equation is 1!/s^(1+1) to yield 1/s^2. This means that n=1. Taking the reciprocal s^2 must be equal to 1/t. Thus, for the first term, -11s^2 is equal to -11/t. For the second term, n must be equal to 6 so that 6!/s^(6+1) would yield 720/s^7. Thus, 720s^7 is equal to 1/t^6. 

Hence, the transformed equation is -11/t - 1/t^6

Explain why it is necessary to rename 4 1/4 if you subtract 3/4 from it? Help please.
Hitman42 [59]
<span>So we want to know why is it necessary to rename 4 1/4 if we subtract 3/4 from it. First, lets turn 4 1/4 into a fraction: 4 1/4 = 17/4. Now lets subtract 3/4 from it: 17/4 - 3/4 = 14/4. So 14/4 becomes 3 2/4. And now we see why is it necessary to rename 4 1/4. </span>

kifflom [539]

Answer: x ≥ -4 (in words: x is greater than or equal to -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number line shows all values greater than -4 being shaded in, meaning that x can be any of them.  In addition, the point at -4 itself is shaded in, showing that it is also a possible value for x.

vovikov84 [41]
You need to find opposite terms when using the elimination method to solve a system of equations so that way you can find out the y or the x after you have crossed out the fraternal twins. You have to get rid of either the y or x in order to work it out and find the y or x value.
