Roulette is a casino game that involves players betting on where a ball will land on a spinning wheel. An American roulette whee

l has 38 numbered slots — half of the slots from 1 to 36 are red and the other half are black. Slots 0 and 00 are both green.
Suppose that a player bets $1 on the color red. If the ball lands in a red slot, the player gets their initial $1 back plus a payout of $1. If the ball doesn't land in a red slot, they lose their $1 bet. Let X= the player's net gain from a $1 bet on a the color red. Here is the probability distribution of X:

Win Lose

X=net gain $1 -$1

P(X) 18/38 20/38

Calculate the mean of X

You may round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Ierofanga [76]

D is the midpoint of A and B
A = (0,s)
B = (r,0)

Add up the x coordinates to get 0+r = r. Then cut that in half to get r/2
Similarly, do the same for the y coordinates: s+0 = s ---> s/2

So the location of point D is (r/2, s/2)

Solve the following equation to determine the value of x: 3x + (x + 10) + 5x + (2x + 2) = 56

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

I think x = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x + x +10 + 5x + 2x + 2 =56

(3x + x + 5x + 2x) + (10 + 2) = 56 (Combine Like Terms)

11x + 12 = 56

11x + 12 = 56

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

11x + 12 − 12 = 56 − 12

11x = 44

Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.

11x/11 = 44/11

x = 4

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ .

Now, we calculate the average rate of change ( $r$ ), dimensionless, between $x = -2$ and $x = 8$ by using the formula of secant line slope:

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{8-(-2)}$

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{10}$

$x = -2$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (-2)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (-2)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(-2) = 0$

$x = 8$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (8)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (8)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(8) = -40$

$r = \frac{-40-0}{10}$

$r = -4$

The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Factorise 24e^2-28e-12

Helga [31]

Answer:

4(2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24e² - 28e - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(6e² - 7e - 3) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the e² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the e- term.

product = 6 × - 3 = - 18 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 9 and + 2

Use these factors to split the e- term

6e² - 9e + 2e - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3e(2e - 3) + 1 (2e - 3) ← factor out (2e - 3) from each term

= (2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Then

24e² - 28e - 12 = 4(2e - 3)(3e + 1) ← in factored form

Three functions are given below: f(x), g(x), and h(x). Explain how to find the axis of symmetry for each function, and rank the

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

1. x=8 is the line of symmetry for f(x) = -4(x − 8)2 + 3

2. x=-2 is the line of symmetry of g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15

3. x=3 is the line of symmetry of h(x), shown in the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the line of symmetry of a vertical parabola (second degree polynomial), find the value of x that sets the squared term to zero. This is a vertical line passing through the vertex of the second degree function.

1. f(x) = -4(x − 8)2 + 3

setting x=8 will give f(8) = 3, so x=8 is the line of symmetry

2. g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15

here, we need to complete the squares,

g(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 15

g(x) = 3(x^2+4x+5)

g(x) = 3(x^2 + 2(2x) +4 +1)

g(x) = 3((x+2)^2 +1)

So setting x=-2 will anihilate or cancel the squared term, therefore

x= -2 is the line of symmetry.

3. the curven shown in graph,

we see that the vertex is at x=3, so x=3 is the line of symmetry.
