Answer:

The insurance company can expect to make $900 on the policy

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount Ted pays per year for insurance on his home = $1,400

The value of the insurance policy = $5000

The chance that Ted will make a claim on the policy = 10%

The expected value is given as follows

Incidence    {}                 Probability        Value                                   v × p

A claim is made  {}          0.1                  $5,000 - $1,400 = -$3,600    -$360

No claim  {}                      0.9  {}               $1,400                                     $1260

Expected value is $1,260 - $360 = $900

The value the insurance company can be expected to make on average on the policy is $900

Lucy is a dress maker. She sews 4/7 of a dress in 3/4 hour. Lucy sees at a constant rate. At this rate, how many dresses does lu
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Lucy sews \frac{16}{21} dresses in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lucy sews \frac{4}{7} of a dress in \frac{3}{4} hour.

She sews at constant rate.

We need to find the number of dresses she makes in 1 hour.

In \frac{3}{4} hour = \frac{4}{7} dress

So in 1 hour = Number of dresses in 1 hour

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of dresses in 1 hour= \frac{\frac{4}{7}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{4}{7}\times \frac{4}{3}= \frac{16}{21}

Hence Lucy sews \frac{16}{21} dresses in 1 hour.

Completing the square follows the principle of taking a x^{2} +bx+c and converting it into (x+ \frac{b}{2})^2+d where d is the 'correctional number' as I like to call it - i.e. the number that converts the expanded bracket into the +c, since the expanded bracket will give us a x^{2} +b.

In this case, 2/2=1 so we have the first part: (w+1)^2.
Expanding this gives us w^2+2w+1. We need c to be 9, so we can just add 8.
Putting this together:

w^2+2w+9=(w+1)^2+8

Now we can solve it more easily.
Rearranging:
(w+1)^2=-8 \\ w+1= +-\sqrt{-8} = +-\sqrt{8}i=+-2 \sqrt{2}i   \\ \boxed{w=-1+ 2\sqrt{2}i\ or\ -1-2 \sqrt{2}i  }

The sum of four consecutive odd integers is three more than five times the least of the integers. Find the integers.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

<h3>              9, 11, 13, 15</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

{k - some integer}

2k+1  - the first odd integer (the least)

5(2k+1)  - five times the least

5(2k+1)+3 -<u> three more than five times the least</u>

2k+1+2 = 2k+3  - the odd integer consecutive to 2k+1

2k+3+2 = 2k+5  - the next odd consecutive integer (third)

2k+5+2 = 2k+7  - the last odd consecutive integer (fourth)

2k+1+2k+3+2k+5+2k+7 - <u>the sum of four odd consecutive integers</u>

2k+1 + 2k+3 + 2k+5 + 2k+7 = 5(2k+1) + 3

8k + 16 = 10k + 5 + 3

     - 10k       -10k

-2k + 16 = 8

     -16       - 16    

      -2k = -8  

    ÷(-2)    ÷(-2)  

      k = 4

2k+1 = 2•4+1 = 9

2k+3 = 2•4+3 = 11

2k+5 = 2•4+5 = 13

2k+7 = 2•4+7 = 15  

Check: 9+11+13+15 = 48;  48-3 = 45;  45:5 = 9 = 2k+1
