Answer:

17 wins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(winning) = 1/5

Number of games = 85

The number of winnings could simply be calculated as the product of the probability and number of games played.

Expected number of winning : P(winning) * number of games

Expected number of winning = 1/5 * 85 = 17 wins

Solve 3x² + 4x = 2. (2 points)

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is a second order equation, it means that it has two possible answers and they are $x_1$ and $x_2$ .

The famous quadratic formula for solving any second order equation is the following:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}\\x_{2}=\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4 ac}}{2a}$

Where a is the coefficient of $x^2$ , b is the coefficient of x, and c is the free term. In other words,

$a = 3\\b=4\\c=-2$

as the equation should be in the following form:

$a x^2 + bx+c = 0$

Therefore the possible answer should be the following,

$\frac{-4 + \sqrt{4^2 - 4*3*(-2)}}{2*3}=\frac{-4 +\sqrt{16 + 24}}{6} =\frac{-4 + \sqrt{40}}{6}=\\ \frac{-4 + \sqrt{4*10}}{6} = \frac{-4 + 2\sqrt{10}}{6}$ $\frac{2*(-2 + \sqrt{10})}{2*3} = \frac{-2 + \sqrt{10}}{3}$

by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, we can deduce the following,

melissa purchased a car at the price of 20,540 with a down payment of 3,900 and financed the rest paying 8.6% interest compounde

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$478.06

Step-by-step explanation:

let's first start out by figuring out the present value of the loan

((20540*1.0825)+955+57)-3900

Which gives me a value of 23246.55

I'm then going to assume that the 8.6% is a nominal interest rate meaning that the effectively monthly rate is equal to .086/12=.0072

Which means we have

23246.55=X(a angle 60 at .0072) (i'm using annuities to solve this if you don't know what this is just ask)

Solve this and get $478.06

Find the values of x and y

vitfil [10]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = 12, x = 3}$

The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:

OL/UR = NM/TS

9/3 = 6/2

3 = 3

Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:

RS = 4, LM = y

3RS = LM

3 · 4 = y = 12.

Find x using the same method:

3UT = ON

3(2x+1) = 4x + 9

6x + 3 = 4x + 9

2x = 6

x = 3.
