Answer:

C. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a coin has 2 sides and there is the same probability of getting either side, then each side has a 50% or 0.5 probability. Therefore, in order to calculate the expected value of one coin flip we need to multiply the value of each side by its probability and add those values together like so...

1 * 0.5 = 0.5

0 * 0.5 = 0

Now we add these values together...

0.5 + 0 = 0.5

Finally, we can see that the expected value of one coin flip is 0.5

Which of the following graphs represents the solution set for 7(4x – 1 ) + 6x > –279? PLEASE HELP
Luda [366]
First, solve the inequality:
7(4x - 1 ) + 6x \ \textgreater \  -279\\
28x-7+6x\ \textgreater \ -279\\
34x\ \textgreater \ -272\\
x\ \textgreater \ -8
Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.

Thus your graph is D.

The area of a rectangle is 10r (squared) − 11r − 6. The width is 2r − 3. What is the length?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>10r^2 − 11r − 6 = (2r - 3)(5r +2)
so
A = </span>(2r - 3)(5r +2)<span>
as you know A =  L * W
if width = </span>(2r - 3) then length = (5r +2)

answer
length = (5r +2)

What is the slope between the points 5,-1 and -2,-3?
pishuonlain [190]
To find slope, use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). In your case, the equation is going to look like (-3 - -1)/(5 - -2) or (-3 +1)/(5 + 2), and that simplifies to -2/7.
