The probability against a 6 turning up is (5/6)^3, or 0.5787037037037037037037037037037. So, the probability of at least one 6 rolled is 1-0.5787037037037037037037037037037=0.4212963. So:
5787037037037037037037037037037 x 6=3.4722222222222222222222222222222
0.4212963 x -14=-5.8981481481481481481481481481481
So, the expected value is 3.4722222222222222222222222222222
-5.8981481481481481481481481481481=$-2.426, or a loss of $2.43

What is this equation called?
nadya68 [22]

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x-6y=20&|\cdot2\\2x-4y=3&|\cdot3\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}6x-12y=40\\6x-12y=9\\\end{array}\right

The left sides of the equations are the same and the right sides of the equations are different, therefore the system of equations is inconsistent.

Answer: B. inconsistent.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinat
dimaraw [331]

I assume the given plane has equation

<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> = <em>d</em>

for some constant <em>d</em> ≠ 0.

You want to maximize the function <em>V(x, y, z)</em> = <em>xyz</em> subject to the above constraint. The Lagrangian would be

<em>L(x, y, z, λ)</em> = <em>xyz</em> - <em>λ</em> (<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> - <em>d</em>)

Find its critical points:

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>x</em> = <em>yz</em> - <em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>y</em> = <em>xz</em> - 3<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>z</em> = <em>xy</em> - 4<em>λ</em> = 0

∂<em>L</em>/∂<em>λ</em> = <em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> - <em>d</em> = 0

The first three equations tell you that <em>λ</em> = <em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/3 = <em>xy</em>/4. Then, for instance,

<em>yz</em> = <em>xz</em>/3   →   3<em>yz</em> - <em>xz</em> = <em>z</em> (3<em>y</em> - <em>x</em>) = 0   →   <em>z</em> = 0   <u>or</u>   3<em>y</em> - <em>x</em> = 0

If <em>z</em> = 0, we get zero volume which is not useful. So 3<em>y</em> = <em>x</em>. Similarly, you would find <em>x</em> = 4<em>z</em> and 3<em>y</em> = 4<em>z</em>, so a critical point occurs when <em>x</em> = 3<em>y</em> = 4<em>z</em>.

In the fourth equation, we get upon substituting

<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 4<em>z</em> = 3<em>x</em> = <em>d</em>   →   <em>x</em> = <em>d</em>/3, <em>y</em> = <em>d</em>/9, <em>z</em> = <em>d</em>/12

Then the largest volume of this box would be

<em>V(d</em>/3, <em>d</em>/9, <em>d</em>/12<em>)</em> = <em>d</em> ³ / 324
