Answer:

The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the equation</em>

  f(x) =  {x²                x  ≤ 2

            {ax³ + bx     x > 2  

* We need to find the values of a , b that make the function

 differentiable at x = 2

- <em>At first for f(x) to be continuous at x = 2, substitute x by two in the</em>

<em>  the two expressions and equate them</em>

∵ f(x) = x² at x ≤ 2 and f(x) = ax³ + bx at x > 2

∴ f(2) = (2)² = 4 ⇒ (1)

∴ f(2) = a(2)³ + b(2)

∴ f(2) = 8a + 2b ⇒ (2)

- Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

* <em>For f(x) to be differentiable when x = 2, the function must be </em>

<em>  continuous when x = 2 and the one-sided derivatives must be </em>

<em>  equal when x = 2</em>

# <u>Remember</u>: If f(x)=ax^{b} , then f'(x)=abx^{b-1}

 If f(x)=ax , then f'(x)=a

 If f(x)=a , then f'(x)=0

∵ f(x) = x²

∴ f'(x) = 2x

- Substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 2(2) = 4

∴ f'(2) = 4 ⇒ (4)

∵ f(x) = ax³ + bx

∴ f'(x) = 3ax² + b

- substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 3a(2)² + b

∴ f'(2) = 12a + b ⇒ (5)

- Equate (4) and (5)

∴ 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

* Now we have system of equations

 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

- Multiply equation (6) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -24 a - 2b = -8 ⇒ (7)

- Add equations (3) and (7)

∴ -16a = -4

- Divide both sides by -16

∴ a = \frac{1}{4}

- substitute the value of a in equation (6)

∴ 12(\frac{1}{4})+b=4

∴ 3 + b = 4

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ b = 1

* The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

We have to find the expected value for the PlayBall lottery. 
The price of the ticket = $1
Prize amount = $250
If a player wins, he will be winning $249 as the price is not paid back along with the prize amount. He is spending $1, getting back $250, so the net amount he is getting back is $249.

Now we have to find the probability of winning and losing.

Number of letters from A to T = 20
Number of digits from 0 to 9 = 10

Probability of picking up the same letter that was picked on that day = 1/20
Probability of picking up the same number that was picked on that day = 1/10

Thus, the Probability of picking up the same letter and same number that was picked on that day = \frac{1}{20}* \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{200}

Thus, the probability of winning = 1/200

The probability of losing = 1- \frac{1}{200}=\frac{199}{200}

The expected value E for the PlayBall lottery will be:

E= \frac{1}{200}(249)- \frac{199}{200}(1) \\  \\ &#10;E= \frac{1}{4}  \\  \\ &#10;E=0.25

Thus, the option C gives the correct answer
