The expectation value is simply obtained by multiplying the probability of each outcome by each possible value. These are then summed for each outcome to obtain the expectation value. In the board game, if there is a 60% chance that you will move 4 spaces forward (+4) and a 40% chance that you will move back 2 spaces then expected value for number of spaces is (0.6 x 4) + (0.4 x -2) = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 spaces.

Answer:

  a) <8.356, 9.959>

  b) <-0.605, -1.663>

  c) <-5.023, 2.9>

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators can perform polar ⇔ rectangular conversion. Attached is the result from one of them. Of course, you can also program a spreadsheet to do it. (The ATAN2( ) function is useful for finding the correct angle.)

If you want to do these calculations by hand, the conversion is ...

  <r, θ> ⇒ <r·cos(θ), r·sin(θ)>

In the attached, the rectangular coordinates are shown as complex numbers. The imaginary component is the y-component of the vector.

Seven more than a number, x, is at most 20
Verdich [7]

Answer:

x+7 ≤ 20

Just take it step by step:

seven more than a number is a number plus 7 (x+7)- keep in mind we dont know what the number is so we use x to represent the number.

it then says it's equal to at most 20.

This means that it cant equal anything above 20 since 20 is the max. Therefore, it must be 20 and below that x+7 equals

x+7≤ 20

≤ -this symbol means less than or equal to

The measures of the angles of △ABC are given by the expressions in the table.
vovangra [49]
The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

48 +(6x -28) +2x = 180
8x +20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20

∠B = (6x -28)° = (6*20 -28)° = 92°

∠C = 2x° = 40°

___
x = 20
∠B = 92°
∠C = 40°

A point P is moving along the curve whose equation is y = \sqrt x . Suppose that x is increasing at the rate of 4 units/s when x
Mice21 [21]

Answer:3 units/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y=\sqrt{x}

Point P lie on this curve so any general point on curve can be written as (x,\sqrt{x})

and \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=4 units/s

Distance between Point P and (2,0)

P=\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(\sqrt{x}-0)^2}

P at x=3 P=2

rate at which distance is changing is

\frac{\mathrm{d} P}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\mathrm{d} \sqrt{(x-2)^2+(\sqrt{x}-0)^2}}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} P}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{2x-3}{\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(\sqrt{x}-0)^2}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} P}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{2\times 3-3}{2\times 2}\times 4=3 units/s
