won, on average, with a bid of $160. You make one bid at random. Find the expected value of the outcome of the bid. (Write as an exact decimal, with a negative sign, if necessary.)

This is fairly complex, but looks like fun. 
So first lets count how many bids are made till the bidding goes up to 160.
That is 100*160=16000
How much will be your random bid. Each bid has equal chance so it is the avarge of all bids. (1cent + 160dollars)/2 = 80dollars (rounded)
What is your chance of winning: 1 bid wins out of 16000 so 1/16000.
When you win your profit is 2000-80dollars=1920
1920/16000= 0.12 dollars 
You entering the bidding costs 1 dollar and your average win is 0.12
This the outcome is 0.12-1=-0.88 dollars

A pendulum is raised to a certain height and released from point A, as shown in the image below. At its release, the pendulum is
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The maximum height that the pendulum can reach will be 45 meters.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

It should be noted that the total energy at A should be equal to the total energy at B.

Therefore, this will be calculated thus:

1/2(14)² + 10(35) = 1/2(0)² + mgH

98 + 350 = 10H

448 = 10H

H = 448/10

H = 44.8 meters

H = 45 meters approximately

How do ypu slove dis? <br>y^2(q-4) - c(q - 4)
Annette [7]
<span><span> y2(q-4)-c(q-4)</span> </span>Final result :<span> (q - 4) • (y2 - c) </span>

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span><span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span><span><span> ((y2) • (q - 4)) - c • (q - 4) </span><span> Step  2  :</span></span><span>Equation at the end of step  2  :</span><span> y2 • (q - 4) - c • (q - 4) </span><span>Step  3  :</span>Pulling out like terms :

<span> 3.1 </span>     Pull out     q-4 

After pulling out, we are left with : 
      (q-4) • (<span> y2</span>  *  1 +( c  *  (-1) ))

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

<span> 3.2 </span>     Factoring: <span> y2-c</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : <span> y2  </span>is the square of <span> y1 </span>

Check :<span> <span> c1  </span> is not a square !! 
</span>Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares

Final result :<span> (q - 4) • (y2 - c) </span><span>
