Answer:

c. $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the expected net profit of Ephemeral services corporation

Since we are been told that 9 other companies besides esco are as well bidding for the $900,000 government contract, it means we have to find the expected net profit by dividing 1 by 9×$900,000 .Thus ESCO can only expect to cover its sunk cost.

Hence ,

E(X) = (1/9) × $900,000

E(X)=0.111111111×$900,000

E(X)= $100,000

Therefore the expected net profit would be $100,000

Find the missing dimension of each prism: volume= 56 1/4 ft | width= 3 3/4 ft | length= 7 1/2 ft
Juliette [100K]
Prism volume = width*length*height
56 1/4 = 3 3/4 * 7 1/2 * h

56.25=3.75*7.5*h

h=(56.25)/(3.75*7.5)=2

So that the missing dimension (height) is 2 ft

mr_godi [17]
Hello : 
<span>the equation all lines passes through (-5, -1) is :
y - (-1) = m(x -(-5))   m the slope
if this line parallal </span><span>to the line y=4x-6 so : m= 4  (same slope )
</span><span>the equation of the line that passes through (-5, -1) and is parallel to the line y=4x-6:    is  : 
</span> y+1 =4(x+5)
y = 4x +19

If AM = x + 8 and MB= 6x – 2, find MB.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, AM=x+8

or, A=x+8-M......eqn (i)

MB=6x-2

or, B=6x-2-M......eqn (ii)

Now,

from eqn (i) and (ii)

x+8-M=6x-2-M

or, 8+2=6x-x-M+M

or, 10=5x

or, 10÷5=x

therefore, x=2

Again,

MB=6x-2

=6×2-2

=12-2

=10

is it correct
