Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation \frac{1}{3}(x+9) = -12

Step 1;

Expand the bracket at the right hand side of the equation to have:

\frac{1}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}(9) = -12\\\frac{1}{3}x+3=-12\\subtracting\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\\\frac{1}{3}x+3-3=-12-3\\\frac{1}{3}x=-15\\

Taking the reciprocal of both sides:

\frac{3}{x} = \frac{-1}{15} \\ cross\ multiplying\\-x =45\\x=-45

A/b =root3-root2 find the value of a^2+b^2/ab​
Westkost [7]

(<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) / (<em>ab</em>) = <em>a</em>/<em>b</em> + <em>b</em>/<em>a</em> = (√3 - √2) + 1/(√3 - √2)

Rationalize the denominator of the second term:

1/(√3 - √2) • (√3 + √2)/(√3+√2) = (√3 + √2)/((√3)² - (√2)²) = √3 + √2

So we have

(<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) / (<em>ab</em>) = (√3 - √2) + (√3 + √2) = 2√3

Y for a daily lottery, a person selects a three-digit number. if the person plays for $1, she can win $500. find the expectation
Elena-2011 [213]
The expected value of the first game is -$0.50 and of the second game is -$0.52.

There are 10³ possible numbers for the lottery, and only 1 of them will match in the correct order; this gives a probability of 1/1000.  To find the expected value, we multiply this by the winnings (499 after the $1 cost); we also multiply the probability of losing (999/1000) by the amount lost (-1):
1/1000(499)+999/1000(-1)
499/1000 - 999/1000 = -500/1000 = -0.50

For the second game, since the number is "boxed", there are 3! ways to get the correct digits; this gives a probability of 6/1000.  Multiply this by the winnings, 79 (after the $1 cost); multiply the probability of losing (994/1000) by the loss (-1):
6/1000(79) + 994/1000(-1) = 474/1000 - 994/1000 = -520/1000= -0.52
