Answer in fraction form = 9/8
Answer in decimal form = 1.125
note: the improper fraction 9/8 converts to the mixed number 1 & 1/8
To get this answer, we divide both sides by 8 to isolate n. The expression 8n really means "8 times n". We divide to undo the multiplication.
-3.7 is greater than -3.8, but is it not less than of equal to -3.8
It takes 6 seconds for it to hit the ground.
0 = -5x²+20x+60
We can solve this by factoring. First factor out the GCF, -5:
0 = -5(x²-4x-12)
Now we want factors of -12 that sum to -4. -6(2) = -12 an -6+2 = -4:
0 = -5(x-6)(x+2)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-6=0 or x+2=0; this gives us the answers x=6 or x=-2. Since we cannot have negative time, x=6.
To calculate expected value,
We can add up the probability of all possible events.
The 2 possible events are either winning $50 or losing the prize, which is $ - 50
Expected value =
50 x 40 % + (-50) x 60%
= $-10
So the answer is $-10
Negative Exponent Rule:
this says that negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents. Negative exponents in the denominator get moved to the numerator and become positive exponents.
