Answer:
$637.95
Step-by-step explanation:
convert 8.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100:
8.5÷100= 0.085
then multiply.
587.98×(0.085)=49.97
now add.
587.98+49.97=<u>637.95</u>
Answer:
2 (real) solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic always has two solutions, whether they are real or complex.
Sometimes the solution is complex, involving complex numbers (2 complex), sometimes they are real and distinct (2 real), and sometimes they are real and coincident (still two real, but they are the same).
In the case of
x^2+3x = 3, or
x² + 3x -3 = 0
we apply the quadratic formula to get
x = (-3 +/- sqrt(3^2+4(1)(3))/2
to give the two solutions
{(sqrt(21)-3)/2, -(sqrt(21)+3)/2,}
both of which are real.

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to evaluate:
This is the same as:
We integrate to obtain:
We evaluate to obtain:
Answer:
(a) E(X) = -2p² + 2p + 2; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
(b) 6p⁴ - 12p³ + 3p² + 3p + 3; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) when i = 2, the expected number of played games will be:
E(X) = 2[p² + (1-p)²] + 3[2p² (1-p) + 2p(1-p)²] = 2[p²+1-2p+p²] + 3[2p²-2p³+2p(1-2p+p²)] = 2[2p²-2p+1] + 3[2p² - 2p³+2p-4p²+2p³] = 4p²-4p+2-6p²+6p = -2p²+2p+2.
If p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) = d/dp (-4p + 2) = -4 which is less than 0. Therefore, the E(X) is maximized.
(b) when i = 3;
E(X) = 3[p³ + (1-p)³] + 4[3p³(1-p) + 3p(1-p)³] + 5[6p³(1-p)² + 6p²(1-p)³]
Simplification and rearrangement lead to:
E(X) = 6p⁴-12p³+3p²+3p+3
if p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 = d/dp (24p³-36p²+6p+3) = 72p²-72p+6 = 72(1/2)² - 72(1/2) +6 = 18 - 36 +8 = -10
Therefore, E(X) is maximized.
