Answer:

Correct option: B -> win $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariah will win for the values of 1, 4 or 6.

These are 3 out of 6 possible values of the die, so the probability of winning is 3/6 = 50%, and the probability of losing is 100% - 50% = 50%

The expected value for winning cases is the value times the probability, so:

E(win) = 4 * 0.5 = 2

The expected value for losing cases is:

E(lose) = -2 * 0.5 = -1

So the final expected money is:

E(total) = E(win) + E(lose) = 2 - 1 = 1

So she can expect to win $1

Correct option: B

If f(x)=3^2 and g(x)=4x^3+1 , what is the degree of (f*g)(x)?

N76 [4]

I'm assuming you meant to say f(x) = 3x^2. If that assumption is correct, then the degree is found by multiplying the leading terms from both f(x) and g(x). The leading terms are 3x^2 and 4x^3

3x^2*4x^3 = (3*4)*(x^2*x^3) = 12x^(2+3) = 12x^5

The exponent of that result is 5, so the degree of (f*g)(x) is 5

If a jogger runs 2 miles and burns 185 calories, how many calories would he burn if he jogged 3 miles?

aliina [53]

The total amount of calories burnt in jogging 2 miles = 185 calories

We have to determine the number of calories burned in jogging 3 miles.

Firstly, we will determine the amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile. We will use unitary method to evaluate this.

So, the total amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile = $185 \div 2$

= 92.5 calories

So, the amount of calories burnt in 3 miles = $3 \times 92.5$

= 277.5 calories

Therefore, 277.5 calories are burned in jogging 3 miles.

We sketch two triangles, DFE and DGH, as shown below

Side DF correspond to side DG, the scale factor is 40÷32=1.25

Side DE correspond to side DH, the scale factor is 30÷24=1.25

That leaves us with the last corresponding sides, EF and HG which would also have a scale factor 1.25

Both triangles share the same angle D

We can conclude triangle DFE and triangle DGH are similar for property SSS and SAS
