Answer:

Expected return for this bet = - $0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

to find out

the expected return for this bet

solution

we know that Number of slots in the spinner  is

Number of slots in the spinner = 0 + 17 = 18 slots

so

P for you winning is here  =  \frac{1}{18}

and

Winning amount is = $17

so we can say that

Expected return for this bet is  = Winning amount × P (winning) - Cost of bet  ...............................1

put here value we get

Expected return for this bet = $17  ×  \frac{1}{18} - 1

Expected return for this bet = - $0.06

State the the roots of y=x^2+8x
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The roots of the given equation are x = 0 and x = -8.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

Terms/Coefficients

  • Factoring/Expanding

Quadratic Equations

  • Solving quadratic equations

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify.</em>

y = x² + 8x

<u>Step 2: Find Roots</u>

  1. [Quadratic] Factor:                                                                                          y = x(x + 8)
  2. [Quadratic] Set up [Solve]:                                                                             0 = x(x + 8)
  3. [Quadratic] Define:                                                                                         x = 0, -8

∴ the roots of the quadratic equation y = x² + 8x is equal to 0 and -8.

Which expression is equal to -4<br><br>A - (-12/3)<br><br>B - (-20/5)<br><br>C -8/-2<br><br>D 16/4
Sonja [21]

The expression that is equal to -4 is D 16/-4 which means  option D is correct. ( it should be noted that option D is not written properly)

<h3>Why  is that 4 is equals to  16/-4?</h3>

In a mathematical  expression   when as negative vale is been used to multiply a negative value, then we will have a positive values , same thing with when a negative value is used to multiply a positive value, a negative value will be gotten.

In the case of the question, if positive value is used to divide a negative value, a negative value will be gotten, hence  expression that is equal to -4 is  16/-4 which is means  optionD  is correct.

Therefore, option C is correct.

PLEASE HELP<br><br> h(3) = 5x2^-x , Evaluate the function h (3)
Ksju [112]
H (x) = 5 x 2^-x

2^-x is the same as saying 1/2^x .

h (x) = 5 x 1/2^x

h (3) = 5 x 1/2^3
= 5 x 1/8
= 5/8

Therefore h (3) = 5/8

During the exponential phase, E. coli bacteria in a culture increase in number at a rate proportional to the current population.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

  197.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...

  p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)

Then we can compute for t=7.2:

  p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2

7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.

___

For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...

  f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)

where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.
