Answer:

$4895

Step-by-step explanation:

P(winning) = 1 / 1000000 = 0.000001

P(not winning) = 1 - 1/1000000 = 0.999999

Winning amount = 4,900,000,000 - 5 = 4899999995

Amount lost = - 5

__ X: - 5 _________ 4899999995

P(X) : 0.999999 ___ 0.000001

Expected value E(x) = Σx * p(x)

E(x) = - 5(0.999999) + 4899999995(0.000001)

E(x) = - 4.999995 + 4899.999995

E(x) = 4895

Hence, expected value is 4895

If f(x) = -x + 5 and g(x) = x^2, what is (g*f)(-1)
sasho [114]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

(g × f)(x) = g(x) × f(x) = x²(- x + 5)

To evaluate (g × f)(- 1) substitute x = - 1 into the product

x²(- x + 5)

= (- 1)²(- (- 1) + 5)

= 1(1 + 5)

= 1 × 6 = 6

What is the value for x
Sloan [31]
Because this is a right angle triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing leg.

The Pythagorean theorem is this: a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

The Pythagorean theorem tells us if you square both the legs then add them up together, you will get the length of the hypotenuse squared.

We know one leg is 24 and the hypotenuse is 26. Plug them into the equation.

24^2 + b^2 = 26^2

Solve for b.

24^2 + b^2 = 26^2
576 + b^2 = 26^2
576 + b^2 = 676
b^2 = 100

Take the square root of both sides.

b = 10

So, the other leg of the triangle is 10 units long.
