The order of operations are different. Hence, the answers are not equal

Explanation:

Oder of operations using PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

[(12÷(2 + 2)]³ and (12 ÷ 2) + 2³

we solve seperately:

[(12÷(2+ 2)]³

we solve the parenthesis first:

(12 ÷ 4)³

then we apply division:

= (3)³

Then expand the exponent:

= 27

(12 ÷ 2) + 2³

we solve the parenthesis first:

6 + 2³

we expand the exponent:

6 + 8

we apply addition:

The order of operations are differnt. Hence, the answers are not equal

Write an exponential function y = abx for a graph that includes (–3, 16) and (–1, 4) f(x) = 2(0.5)x f(x) = 0.5(2)x f(x) = 4(0.3)

Arisa [49]

Answer: $f(x)=2(0.5)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the exponential function $y = ab^x$ for a graph that includes (–3, 16) and (–1, 4).

On putting these points, we will have

$f(-3)=16=ab^{-3}\\\\ f(-1)=4=ab^{-1}$

Now,

$\dfrac{f(-3)}{f(-1)}=\dfrac{16}{4}=\dfrac{ab^{-3}}{ab^{-1}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4}{1}=\dfrac{b^{-3}}{b^{-1}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4}{1}=\dfrac{b}{b^3}=\dfrac{1}{b^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ b^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ b=\pm\dfrac{1}{2}=\pm0.5$

since the multiplicative factor cannot be negative, so b= 0.5.

At b= 0.5

$4=a(0.5)^{-1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^{-1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4=a(2)\\\\\Rightarrow \ a=2$

So, the required function is $f(x)=2(0.5)^x$ .

Consider the following game: Roll a fair 6-sided die. You win if the result is greater than 4; otherwise, you lose. To play, you

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

-$1.33 or lose $1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

In this game, there are two possible outcomes.

- There is a 2 in 6 chance (rolling a 5 or a 6) that you win $8.

- There is a 4 in 6 chance (rolling a 1, 2, 3 or a 4) that you win nothing.

Note that for any outcome, you start off paying $4 to play.

The expected value of this game is:

$E(X) =\frac{2}{6} *\$8+\frac{4}{6}*\$0-\$4\\E(X) = -\$1.33$

You are expected to lose $1.33 per play.
