Answer:
There are 8 servings
Step-by-step explanation:
6÷3/4= 8
W=-9
Explanation: 3w=-27
Divide 3 from -27
-27 divided by 3 = -9
Answer: (3x + 11y)^2
Demonstration:
The polynomial is a perfect square trinomial, because:
1) √ [9x^2] = 3x
2) √121y^2] = 11y
3) 66xy = 2 *(3x)(11y)
Then it is factored as a square binomial, being the factored expression:
[ 3x + 11y]^2
Now you can verify working backwar, i.e expanding the parenthesis.
Remember that the expansion of a square binomial is:
- square of the first term => (3x)^2 = 9x^2
- double product of first term times second term =>2 (3x)(11y) = 66xy
- square of the second term => (11y)^2 = 121y^2
=> [3x + 11y]^2 = 9x^2 + 66xy + 121y^2, which is the original polynomial.
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.
Slope for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂): (-3, 0) and (2, 7)
Slope: (y₂ -y₁) / (x₂ -x₁)
Slope: ( 7 - 0) / (2 - -3) = 7/(2 + 3)
<span>Slope = 7/5
