Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's too bad about this problem. It's a fair game if you get paid the same amount that you have to pay if you lose.

You win 2 ways

  • H - H
  • T - T
  • Probability 1/2

You lose 2 ways.

  • H - T
  • T - H
  • Probability 1/2

Expectation

E = 1/2 * 3 - 1/2 * 4

E = 1.5 - 2

E = -0.5

Which means that you should expect to lose 0.5 dollars every time you play this dreadful game.

Factor the polynomial expression 15x^2 - 2x - 8
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

15 x^2 - 2 x - 8

Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Find the arc length for arcs of circles as follows:
Sauron [17]

Answer:

≈ 11.78 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is calculated as

arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle

     = 2πr × \frac{\frac{\pi }{4} }{2\pi } ( cancel 2π on numerator/ denominator )

     = 15 × \frac{\pi }{4}

     = \frac{15\pi }{4}

     ≈ 11.78 in ( to 2 dec. places )
