What I gather from the question is that
has second moment
and variance
, and you're asked to find the expectation and variance of the random variable
.
From the given second moment and variance, we find the expectation of
:

Expectation is linear, so

Using the same variance identity, we have

and

so that

Alternatively, we can use the identity

Answer:
-3x^2 - 21x
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is representing multiplying two functions :
We are finding f(x) * g(x)
We know that f(x) is -3x and g(x) is x + 7, therefore :
(-3x)(x + 7)
Follow FOIL :
First :
(-3x)(x)
-3x^2
Outer :
(-3x)(7)
-21x
Therefore the answer is :
-3x^2 - 21x
Answer:720
Very good at doing degrees in math!
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as

.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:



Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance

between Paul and Jose:



Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.
