Answer:

The length of each side of the city is 250b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 20 --- tree distance from north gate

b =14 --- movement from south gate

c = 1775 --- movement in west direction from (b)

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we have:

\triangle ADE \sim \triangle ACB --- similar triangles

So, we have the following equivalent ratios

AE:DE = AB:CB

Where:

AE = 20\\ DE = x/2 \\ AB = 20 + x + 14 \\ CB = 1775

Substitute these in the above equation

20:x/2 = 20 + x + 14: 1775

20:x/2 = x + 34: 1775

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{x/2} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

\frac{40}{x} = \frac{x + 34}{1775}

Cross multiply

x *(x + 34) = 1775 * 40

Open bracket

x^2 + 34x = 71000

Rewrite as:

x^2 + 34x - 71000 = 0

Expand

x^2 + 284x -250x - 71000 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 284) -250(x + 284)= 0

Factor out x + 284

(x - 250)(x + 284)= 0

Split

x - 250 = 0 \ or\ x + 284= 0

Solve for x

x = 250 \ or\ x =- 284

x can't be negative;

So:

x = 250

Integrate the following:<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cint%20%5C%3A%20%20%5Ctan%28x%29%20%20%20%5

Answer:

\huge \boxed{\red{ \boxed{  -  \cos(x)  + C}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • integration
  • PEMDAS
<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>
  • \tan( \theta)  =  \dfrac{ \sin( \theta) }{ \cos( \theta) }
  • \sf \displaystyle \int  \sin(x)   \: dx =    - \cos(x)  +   C
<h3>let's solve:</h3>
  1. \sf \: rewrite \:  \tan( \theta)  \:  as \:   \dfrac{ \sin( \theta) }{ \cos( \theta) }  :  \\   =  \displaystyle  \int \:  \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) }  \cos(x)  \: dx \\   = \displaystyle \int \:  \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cancel{\cos(x) }}   \: \cancel{ \cos(x)}  \: dx \\     = \displaystyle \int \:  \sin(x)   \: dx
  2. \sf \: use \: the \: formula : \\   \sf \displaystyle     - \cos(x)
  3. \sf add \: constant :  \\   -  \cos(x)  + C

There is a game at the carnival that costs $20 to play. There are two outcomes: either you win $100 , or you lose. To play you r
Taya2010 [7]
Outcome on winning = $100 - $20 = $80
Outcome on losing = $20

Probability of winning = 1/6
Probability of losing = 5/6

Expected Value = 1/6 (80) +5/6(-20) = -3.333

This shows on average from each game, the game earns $ 3.333.

So, if 1000 such games are played, the game will earn 1000 x 3.33 = $3330 

So, the answer to this question is option A
