The student council is hosting a drawing to raise money for scholarships. They are selling tickets for $8 each and will sell 900

tickets. There is one $3,000 grand prize, two $500 second prizes, and ten $10 third prizes. You just bought a ticket. Find the expected value for your profit. Round to the nearest cent.

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that the ticket will win you 600 dollars * 1/1500 = 600/1500.

the probability that the ticket will win you 50 dollars is 50 * 5/1500 = 250/1500.

the probability that the ticket will win you 25 dollars is 25 * 20/1500 = 500/1500.

your expected value is -1 + 600/1500 + 250/1500 + 500/1500 = -.1.

the average loss for each dollar that is bet is equal to 10 cents.

hope this helped

Simplify: cos2x-cos4 all over sin2x + sin 4x
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}

Apply formula:

\cos\left(A\right)-\cos\left(B\right)=-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) and

\sin\left(A\right)+\sin\left(B\right)=2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)

We get:

=\frac{-2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{2\cdot\sin\left(\frac{2x+4x}{2}\right)\cdot\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{2x-4x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(\frac{-2x}{2}\right)}

=\frac{-\sin\left(-x\right)}{\cos\left(-x\right)}

=\frac{-\cdot-\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\frac{\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}

=\tan\left(x\right)

Hence final answer is

\frac{\cos\left(2x\right)-\cos\left(4x\right)}{\sin\left(2x\right)+\sin\left(4x\right)}=\tan\left(x\right)

How many discontinuities does the piecewise function have.?
Aleks04 [339]

In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).

Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.

Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.

x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.

x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.

x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.
