Answer:

1.563

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Probability of head, p = 0.64

Number of flips it would take for tail to appear first :

Treatting the question as a geometric function :

Using the relation :

1 / p

Expected number of flips until first tail :

1 / P = 1/ 0.64 = 1.5625

E(x) = expected number of flips until first tail = 1.563

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x4 − x2 − 2?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{2} , x = ± i

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^{4} - x² - 2

to find the zeros , equate f(x) to zero , that is

x^{4} - x² - 2 = 0

using the substitution u = x² , then

u² - u - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(u - 2)(u + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 2 = 0 ⇒ u = 2

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

convert u back into terms of x

x² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{2}

x² = - 1 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i

At the beginning of a basketball season, the panthers won 20 games out of 50 games. At this rate, how many games will they win i
Anton [14]

Answer:

They will win 48 games in a 120 game season.

Step-by-step explanation:

The team won 20 games out of 50; that is a 20:50 ratio, that is equal to x:120.  x is the amount of games won in the 120 game season.

Set up the ratios like this:

\frac{20}{50} = \frac{x}{120}

cross multiply the numerators and denominators to get this:

20*120 = 50x

solve for x:

2,400 = 50x

x = 48
