The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

<h3>What kind of roots does have a cubic equation? </h3>

In this problem we have a <em>cubic</em> equation and the nature of their roots must be inferred according to a <em>algebraic</em> method.

Cubic equations are polynomials of the form y = a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d, there is a method to infer the nature of the roots of such polynomials: The discriminant from Cardano's method, an <em>analytical</em> method used to solve polynomials of the form a · x³ + b · x² + c · x + d = 0.

The discriminant is described below:

Δ = 18 · a · b · c · d - 4 · b³ · d + b² · c² - 4 · a · c³ - 27 · a² · d²      (1)

Where:

  1. There are three <em>distinct real</em> roots for Δ > 0.
  2. Real roots with multiplicity greater than 1 for Δ = 0.
  3. A <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots for Δ < 0.

If we know that a = 1, b = 2, c = 4 and d = 8, then the nature of the roots is:

Δ = 18 · 1 · 2 · 4 · 8 - 4 · 2³ · 8 + 2² · 4² - 4 · 1 · 4³ - 27 · 1² · 8²

Δ = - 1024

The <em>cubic</em> equation f(x) = x³ + 2 · x² + 4 · x + 8 has one <em>real</em> root and two <em>complex</em> roots.

A casino features a game in which a weighted coin is tossed several times. The table shows the probability of each payout amount
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The expected payout of the game is $230.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is

Payout Amount :    $160       $4400      $145000      

Probability         :    0.146       0.024          0.0007

We need to find the expected payout of the game.

The formula for expected payout is

\text{Expected payout}=\sum n_iP(x_i)

where, n is amount and P(x) is probability of that event. The value of n is negative for loss.

Using the above formula we get

\text{Expected payout}=160\times 0.146+4400\times 0.024+145000\times 0.0007

\text{Expected payout}=23.36+105.6+101.5

\text{Expected payout}=230.46

Therefore the expected payout of the game is $230.46.
