Simplify. x-2/(x^2+4x-12)

1 answer:

5 0

Simplifying the above expression we shall proceed as follows:
x-2/(x^2+4x-12)
factoring out the denominator we get:
x^2+4x-12
=x^2-2x+6x-12
=x(x-2)+6(x-2)
=(x+6)(x-2)
thus our expression will be:
(x-2)/[(x+6)(x-2)]
simplifying the above we get:
1/(x+6)

Answer: 1/(x+6)

The expected value of the game is $8.75.

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

The expected value is the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's probability.
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The probability of spinning a 2 and a vowel is: $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{2}{32}$ .
Thus, $\frac{2}{32}$ probability of getting $50.

The probability of spinning 2 and a consonant is: $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{6}{32}$

Thus, $\frac{6}{32}$ probability of getting $25.

The probability of spinning 1 and a vowel is: $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{6}{32}$ .
Thus, $\frac{6}{32}$ probability of getting $5.

32 - (6 + 6 + 2) = 18, thus, $\frac{18}{32}$ probability of earning $0.

The expected value is:

$E = \frac{2}{32}(50) + \frac{6}{32}(25) + \frac{6}{32}(5) + \frac{18}{32}(0)$

$E = \frac{100 + 150 + 30}{32}$

$E = \frac{280}{32}$

$E = 8.75$

The expected value of this game is of $8.75.

What is the mode of the data set?

saw5 [17]

Answer: 92 which is choice D

Look at the right side of values for the digit that comes up the most. In this case, it would be '2' in the second row. It shows up 3 times. Those leafs pair up with the stem of 9 to form the full value 92. So we have 92 show up three times which is the most frequent value.

The data set would expand out to

85, 88

92, 92, 92, 98

105, 106, 106, 109

113

126, 127
