Answer:

The classification of that same given problem is outlined in the following portion on the clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  E[x]=\Sigma_{x=0}^{x} \ x \ f(x)

On putting the values, we get

⇒         =0\times \frac{3}{4}+225\times \frac{1}{4}  -40\times 1

⇒         =\frac{225}{4}-40

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒         =\frac{225-160}{4}

⇒         =\frac{65}{4}

⇒         =16.25

1...

Whether she wins she would receive $225 with even a 1/4 chance, then she will lose and maybe get $0 with such a 3/4 chance although if she takes a gamble anyway though she will either have to compensate $40 wp 1.

2...

She seems to want the capital to benefit or win.

Answer: OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise shown in the image attached, you need to subtract the functions f(x) and g(x).

Keeping the above on mind, you have:

(f-g)(x)=2x^{2}+2-(x^{2}-1)

You must distribute the negative sign and then you must add the like terms, therefore, you obtain:

(f-g)(x)=2x^{2}+2-x^{2}+1\\(f-g)(x)=x^{2} +3

Answer: sqrt(2)/2  which is choice D

======================================================

Explanation

(3pi/4) radians converts to 135 degrees after multiplying by the conversion factor (180/pi).

The angle 135 degrees is in quadrant 2. We subtract the angle 135 from 180 to find the reference angle

180-135 = 45

Then you can use a 45-45-90 triangle to determine that the ratio of opposite over hypotenuse is sqrt(2)/2

sine is positive in quadrant 2

------------

Alternatively, you can use a unit circle. Refer to the diagram below. In red, I've circled the angle 3pi/4 radians. The terminal point for this angle has a y coordinate of sqrt(2)/2

Recall that y = sin(theta).
