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

Write a polynomial function f of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the zeros −3 and 5
love history [14]

Answer:

<em>f(x) = x² (2+i)x-15-3i</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the zeros of the equation are -3 and 5+i, hence the factors of the polynomial in x is (x+3) and (x-(5+i))

Multiplying both factors

f(x) =  (x+3)(x-(5+i))

f(x) = (x²-(5+i)x+3x -3(5+i))

f(x) = x² - (5+i- 3)x -15-3i

f(x) = x² (2+i)x-15-3i

<em>hence the required polynomial function in x is f(x) = x² (2+i)x-15-3i</em>

23ft and 6in


so from 23ft 6in to 30ft 9 in is how much?
30ft, 9in-23ft, 6in=
30ft-23ft, 9in-6in=
7ft, 3in
