Answer:

$3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There two possible outcomes:

There is a 3/4 chance that the bid is rejected for a value of -$1,400

There is a 1/4 chance that the bid is accepted for a value of $17,600 - $1,400.

The expected value of the situation is:

E = \frac{3}{4}*(-1,400)+\frac{1}{4}*(17,600-1,400)\\E=\$3,000

The expected value is $3,000.

How do i express x^2-3x into the form of (x-m)^2+n. I will give brainliest to correct answer
mel-nik [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

let's simply do the multiplications and then compare with the original.

(x-m)² + n

right ?

or is it

{(x - m)}^{2 + n}

let's go for the first.

x² - 2mx + m² + n = x² - 3x

-2mx + m² + n = -3x

fun there we see two things :

-2m = -3

m = 3/2

and

m² + n = 0

(3/2)² = -n

9/4 = -n

n = -9/4

so our transformed expression looks like

(x - 3/2)² - 9/4

ABCD is a parallelogram. Find the measure of angle ABC.​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

∠ABC = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

Therefore, ∠D ≅ ∠B

∠D = 38° + 12°

∠B = 38° + 12°

∠B = 50°

∠ABC = 50°
