Answer: The goal was $500

======================================================

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

175% = 175/100 = 1.75

Let g be the goal, which is the amount of money the club wanted to raise

175% of goal = 175% of g = 1.75g

The expression 1.75g represents how much money was actually raised, which was $875. Set the two expressions equal to each other. Solve for g

1.75g = 875

g = 875/1.75 ....... divide both sides by 1.75

g = 500

The club's goal was to raise $500

Note how 75% of $500 is 0.75*500 = 375

When they raised 175% of the goal, this means they went 75% overboard and added on 375 additional dollars (on top of the 500 they wanted). So they got to 500+375 = 875 which lines up with the instructions. This helps verify the answer.

Or we can see that 1.75*g = 1.75*500 = 875 which helps confirm the answer as well.

A casino features a game in which a weighted coin is tossed several times. The table shows the probability of each payout amount

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The expected payout of the game is $230.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is

Payout Amount : $160 $4400 $145000

Probability : 0.146 0.024 0.0007

We need to find the expected payout of the game.

The formula for expected payout is

$\text{Expected payout}=\sum n_iP(x_i)$

where, n is amount and P(x) is probability of that event. The value of n is negative for loss.

Using the above formula we get

$\text{Expected payout}=160\times 0.146+4400\times 0.024+145000\times 0.0007$

$\text{Expected payout}=23.36+105.6+101.5$

$\text{Expected payout}=230.46$

Therefore the expected payout of the game is $230.46.

Use these functions to answer the questions.

Elenna [48]

Part A
We have $f\left(x\right)=\left(x+3\right)^2-1$ . To solve for the x-intercept, we set f(x) equal to 0. That is
$\left(x+3\right)^2-1=0$

$\left(x+3\right)^2=1$

Take the square root of both sides,
$x+3=1$

$x=-2$

The x-intercept is (-2,0).

To solve for the y-intercept, we set x=0. That is
$y=\left(0+3\right)^2-1=3^2-1=9-1=8$

The y-intercept is (0, 8)

The coordinates of the optimum point are actually the vertex which can be easily seen from the vertex form equation given above. The minimum point is (-3, -1).

Part B.
We have $g\left(x\right)=-2x^2+8x+3$ .
Factor out -2
$=-2\left(x^2-4x\right)+3$

Complete the square
$=-2\left(x^2-4x+4\right)+3-2\left(4\right)$

Simplify
$g(x)=-2\left(x-2\right)^2-5$

Part C
We have $h\left(t\right)=-16t^2+28t$ .
The maximum height is 12.25 feet after 0.875 seconds from the time of the jump. The dolphin will be back in the water after 1.75 seconds. The graph of the jump is shown in the photo.

A bicycle wheel has a diameter 60inches how many rotations would it take to go 600 feet

hichkok12 [17]

First, we want to convert 600 feet to inches:

600 feet (12 inches/ft) = 7200 inches

We know that the diameter is 60 inches, so the circumference is 60π inches or 188.5 inches.
We can divide 7200/188.5 to get about 38.2 rotations.
