Answer:
Infinite amount of solutions.
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Regular + Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
6y + 4 - 3y - 7 = 3(y - 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 3y - 3 = 3(y - 1)
- Distribute 3: 3y - 3 = 3y - 3
- Subtract 3y on both sides: -3 = -3
Here we see that there will be infinite amount of solutions. We can plug in any number <em>y</em> and it will render the equation true.
The standard form of a quadratic equation is

, while the vertex form is:

, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
What we want is to write

as

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

.
Second, we notice that

are the terms produced by

, without the 9. So we can write:

, and substituting in

we have:
![\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%7B%20y%3D3%28x%5E2-6x-2%29%3D3%5B%28x-3%29%5E2-9-2%5D%3D3%5B%28x-3%29%5E2-11%5D)
.
Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:
![y=3[x-3]^2-33](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3%5Bx-3%5D%5E2-33)
.
Answer:
The expected value of the discrete distribution, if you have to pay $.50 to pick one package at random, is of -$0.08.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
For this problem, considering the cost of $0.5, the distribution is given as follows:
- P(X = 0.2) = 12/(12 + 15 + 23) = 12/50 = 0.24.
- P(X = -0.1) = 15/(12 + 15 + 23) = 15/50 = 0.3.
- P(X = -0.2) = 23/(12 + 15 + 23) = 23/50 = 0.46.
Hence the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.2 x 0.24 - 0.3 x 0.1 - 0.2 x 0.46 = -$0.08.
