The one that is like this:^
Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.
To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:
p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0
Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.
Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression:
To make it a perfect square, we follow the following steps.
Divide the coefficient of x by 2
- Coefficient of x=18, 18/2=9
Square It
Add it to the expression
This is written as a perfect square as:
The constant term required therefore is 81.
Answer:
The expected value of this game is -$0.26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected value:
Each possible earning/loss multiplied by it's probability.
Probability:
Number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question, the order in which the numbers are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
Probability of winning:
Desired outcomes:
The 6 correct numbers, so
Total outcomes:
6 numbers from a set of 21. So
Probability:
Expected value
probability of earning 40,000.
probability of losing 1. So
The expected value of this game is -$0.26.
