CONTRACT  PROFIT, (P)* OF PROFIT...(P)*. TO BREAK EVEN...LOSS, (P)* OF LOSS

Southeast $45,000,            50%                       30%                           $6,000, 20%

Southwest $60,000,            35%                      40%                          $10,000, 25%

California $112,000,           20%                       40%                          $40,000, 40%


I think that the best contract would be with SOUTHEAST. It probability of having a profit is higher than the other two at 50% while its probability of incurring a loss is lesser than the other two at 20%. 

Despite the bigger value of its contract profit of the other two, these value will still be greatly affected by its corresponding probabilities.

Given: PS=RT, PQ=ST<br> Prove: QS=RS
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

I) Eq(1) reason: sum of segments of a straight line

II) Eq(2) reason: Given PQ = ST & PS = RT

III) Eq(3) reason: sum of segments of a straight line

IV) Eq(4) reason: Same value on right hand sides of eq(2) and eq(3) demands that we must equate their respective left hand sides

V) Eq(5) reason: Usage of collection of like terms and subtraction provided this equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that;

PS = RT and that PQ = ST

Now, we want to prove that QS = RS.

From the diagram, we can see that from concept of sum of segments of a straight line we can deduce that;

PQ + QS = PS - - - - (eq 1)

Now, from earlier we saw that PQ = ST & PS = RT

Thus putting ST for PQ & PS for RT in eq 1,we have;

ST + QS = RT - - - - (eq 2)

Again, from the line diagram, we can see that from concept of sum of segments of a straight line we can deduce that;

RS + ST = RT - - - - -(eq 3)

From eq(2) & eq(3) we can see that both left hand sides is equal to RT.

Thus, we can equate both left hand sides with each other to give;

ST + QS = RS + ST - - - (eq 4)

Subtracting ST from both sides gives;

ST - ST + QS = RS + ST - ST

This gives;

QS = RS - - - - (eq 5)

Thus;

QS = RS

Could a polyhedron exist with the given number of faces, vertices, and edges? Drag yes or no to each combination
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

(a) No

(b) No

(c) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Select Yes or No for each

To do this, we make use of Euler's formula

F + V - E = 2

Where

F \to Faces; V \to Vertices; E \to Edges

(a):\ Faces = 8; Vertices = 12; Edges = 6

Using: F + V - E = 2

8 + 12 - 6 = 2

14 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (a) does not exist</em>

(b):\ Faces = 6; Vertices = 6; Edges = 4

Using: F + V - E = 2

6 + 6 - 4 = 2

8 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (b) does not exist</em>

<em />

<em />(c):\ Faces = 20; Vertices = 30; Edges = 12<em />

Using: F + V - E = 2

20 + 30 - 12 = 2

38 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (c) does not exist</em>
