Answer:

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student that purchases 10 tickets out of 2900 has a probability of winning the cruise that can be calculated as:

p=10/2900\approx0.00345

Each ticket cost $5, so he has spent $50 for the 10 tickets.

Then, the expected value of this operation is equal to the expected value of the earnings (probability of winning the prize multiplied by the value of the prize), minus the costs:

E(X)=p\cdot R-C\\\\E(X)=0.00345\cdot3000-50=10.35-50=-39.65

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 3 feet more than the other leg. If the hypotenuse is 15 feet find the length of eac
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Leg1 = 9 and leg2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

<u>To find the length of each leg</u>

It is given that, hypotenuse = 15 feet

Let base = x the height = x +3

By using Pythagorean theorem we can write,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

15²  = x² + (x + 3)²

225 = x²  + x²  + 6x + 9

2x²  + 6x + 216 = 0

x²  + 3x + 108 = 0

By solving we get x = 9 and x -12

Therefore one leg = 9 and other leg = 9 + 3 = 12

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

y =  {x}^{2}  - 2

Or if you want with the value of h too.

y =  {(x - 0)}^{2}  - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

Find the value of h and k by using the formula.

h =  -  \frac{b}{2a}  \\ k =  \frac{4ac -  {b}^{2} }{4a}

From y = x²-2

a = 1 \\ b = 0 \\ c =  - 2

Substitute these values in the formula.

h =  -  \frac{0}{2(1)}  \\ h = 0

Therefore, h = 0.

k =  \frac{4(1)( - 2) -  {0}^{2} }{4(1)}  \\ k =  \frac{ - 8}{4}  \\ k =  - 2

Therefore, k = - 2.

From the vertex form, the vertex is at (h, k) = (0,-2). Substitute h = 0, a = 1 and k = -2 in the equation.

y = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k \\ y = 1 {(x - 0)}^{2}  - 2 \\ y =  {(x)}^{2}  - 2 \\ y =  {x}^{2}  - 2

These type of equation where b = 0 can also be both standard and vertex form.

What is the quadratic domain of y=x squared
statuscvo [17]

domain is the numbes you are allowed to use for x

what I usually do is just find the numbers that aren't allowed in the domain. such numbers are numbers that cause a division by 0 or a squaer root of a negative number

given y=x^2, there are no numbers that you can use for x that will cause a division by 0 or a square root of a negative number


so domain is all real numbers or D={x | -∞<x<∞}
