Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2

AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509

AC = √509

AC = 22.56

The slope of the ladder is

(change in y)/(change in x)

Slope = 22/5 = 4.4

The expression f(x) = 12(1.035)* models the monthly growth of membership in the new drama club at a school. According to the fun
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The monthly growth rate is 3.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth function is given as follows:

y=a(1+r)^{x}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>x</em> = time taken

The provided expression for the monthly growth of membership in the new drama club at a school is:

f(x) = 12\cdot(1.035)^{x}

Comparing this function with the exponential growth function:

a(1+r)^{x}=12(1.035)^{x}\\\\a(1+r)^{x}=12(1+0.035)^{x}

Then value of <em>r</em> is 0.035 or 3.5%.

Thus, the monthly growth rate is 3.5%.

Harman [31]

Answer:

The expected value of profit is -0.5125. This is expected loss as value is negative.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

P(winning) = 0.075

Thus,

P(Loosing) =

1 - 0.075 = 0.925

If we win we gain a profit of $5.50 and if we loose the lottery, we loose $1.

Thus, we can form the probability distribution in the following manner:

  Event:      Winning       Loosing

Profit(x):      +5.50               -1

     P(x):       0.075             0.925

We have to calculate the expected value of the profit.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_i(P(x_i))\\E(x) = +5.50(0.075) + (-1)(0.925)\\E(x) = -0.5125

Thus, the expected value of profit is -0.5125. This is expected loss as value is negative.
