Answer:

8 Feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salmon were initially 5 feet below the surface, and then travelled down an additional 3 feet from the initial 5, then the new position would be 8 feet down relative to the surface.

You can write this as -5 + -3 = -8, assuming that 0 represents surface level.

Cheers.

X = 0.19
Luda [366]

Step-by-step explanation:

.19 = 19/100

.864 = 86.4/100

.5348 = 53.48 /100

I multiplied the decimal by 100 to get what it was before which is the same as moving two decimal places to the right and divided by 100

if any confusion ask

ozzi

To find the x-intercepts algebraically, we let y = 0 y=0 y=0 in the equation and then solve for values of x. In the same manner, to find for y-intercepts algebraically, we let x = 0 x=0 x=0 in the equation and then solve for y.

Gambler is deciding whether or not to take a bet. she must pay $40 to take the bet, but if she wins, she willprofit$225.theproba
Vesnalui [34]
Expected value of the bet is
the sum of the products of value of outcome and its probability,
less the amount paid to place the bet.

Outcomes value probability
win            225    1/4
lose               0    3/4
cost of bet = 40

So expected value of bet
E[X]=225*(1/4)+0*(3/4)-40
=56.25-40
=16.25

This means that in the long run, gambler will win, since the expected value is positive.  (does NOT mean she will win in the next bet!)

What is the radius of a sector of a circle with the central angle of measure 45 and whose area is 9/8 pi cm^2
larisa86 [58]

The radius of the sector of the circle with the given area is: B. 3.

<h3>What is the Area of a Sector?</h3>

Area of sector of a circle = ∅/360 × πr².

Given the following:

Area of sector = 9/8 π cm².

∅ = 45 degrees

Plug in the values into the formula

9/8π = 45/360 × πr²

1.125 = 0.125 × r²

1.125/0.125 = r²

9 =  r²

r = 3 cm
