Answer:

18 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount he earns from delivering newspapers is given by:

$y = 30x + 18$ ---1

y is the amount he earns in cents

x is the number of houses he delivers newspapers

Since we are given that he doesn't deliver any newspapers on a certain day

So, x = 0

Substituting value of x in 1

$y = 30*0 + 18$

$y =18$

So, $(x_0,y_0)=(0,18)$

Thus he is paid 18 cents if he doesn't deliver any newspapers.

Which expression is equivalent to 60 Σ n=1 (2n − 1)2 ? Check all that apply.

Hunter-Best [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

B, D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic expands to ...

(2n -1)² = (2n)² +2(2n)(-1) +(-1)² = 4n² -4n +1

The coefficients can be factored out of the sum, so ...

∑(4n²) = 4∑n² for example

The sum of 60 ones is 60:

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{60}{1}=1+1+1+\dots+1=60$

So, the sum can be written as ...

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{60}{(2n-1)^2}\\\\=\boxed{4\sum_{n=1}^{60}{n^2}-4\sum_{n=1}^{60}{n}+\sum_{n=1}^{60}{1}}\\\\=\boxed{4\sum_{n=1}^{60}{n^2}-4\sum_{n=1}^{60}{n}+60}$

Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair. Each ticket costs @1.5. Which inequality best represents how many tickets she

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$n\le 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of tickets Makaya has to buy.

If the cost of one ticket is $1.5, then the cost of n tickets is $1.5n.

Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair, thus

$1.5n\le 8\\ \\n\le \dfrac{8}{1.5}\\ \\n\le \dfrac{80}{15}\\ \\n\le \dfrac{16}{3}\\ \\n\le 5\dfrac{2}{3}$

The maximum number of tickets Makaya can buy is 5, so

$n\le 5$

What is the probability that all the roots of x2 + bx + c = 0 are real? [0,1]?

notsponge [240]

$x^2+bx+c$ will have real roots when the discriminant of the quadratic, $\Delta=b^2-4c$ , is non-negative, i.e.

$b^2-4c\ge0\implies b^2\ge4c$

Your question about probability is currently impossible to answer without knowing exactly what the experiment is. Are you picking $b,c$ at random from some interval? Is the choice of either distributed a certain way?

I'll assume the inclusion of "[0,1]" in your question is a suggestion that both $b,c$ are chosen indepently of one another from [0, 1]. Let $B,C$ denote the random variables that take on the values of $b,c$ , respectively. I'll assume $B,C$ are identical and follow the standard uniform distribution, i.e. they each have the same PDF and CDF as below:

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }0$

$F_X(x)=\begin{cases}0&\text{for }x$

where $X$ is either of $B,C$ .

Then the question is to find $P(B^2\ge4C)$ . We have

$P(B^2\ge4C)=P\left(C\le\dfrac{B^2}4\right)$

and we can condition the random variable $C$ on the event of $B=b$ by supposing

$P\left(C\le\dfrac{B^2}4\right)=P\left(\left(C\le\dfrac{B^2}4\right)\land(B=b)\right)=P\left(C\le\dfrac{B^2}4\mid B=b\right)\cdot P(B=b)$

then integrate over all possible values of $b$ .

$=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty P\left(C\le\dfrac{b^2}4\right)f_B(b)\,\mathrm db$

$=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty F_C\left(\dfrac{b^2}4\right)f_B(b)\,\mathrm db$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1\dfrac{b^2}4\,\mathrm db=\frac1{12}$
