Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 16x - 8 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 8x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

x² + 8x = 4

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 4 + 16

(x + 4)² = 20 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = ± \sqrt{20} = ± \sqrt{4(5)} = ± 2\sqrt{5} ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4 ± 2\sqrt{5} → D

Ephemeral services corporation (esco) knows that nine other companies besides esco are bidding for a $900,000 government contrac
EastWind [94]

Answer:

c. $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the expected net profit of Ephemeral services corporation

Since we are been told that 9 other companies besides esco are as well bidding for the $900,000 government contract, it means we have to find the expected net profit by dividing 1 by 9×$900,000 .Thus ESCO can only expect to cover its sunk cost.

Hence ,

E(X) = (1/9) × $900,000

E(X)=0.111111111×$900,000

E(X)= $100,000

Therefore the expected net profit would be $100,000
