The equation of the line is y = 2x + 1
Situations:
1) he makes 1st shot + he makes 2nd shot
P(A) = 0.4 · 0.4 = 0.16 ( 16 % )
2) he makes 1 st shot + he misses 2nd shot
P(B) = 0.4 · 0.6 = 0.24 ( 24 % )
3) he misses 1st shot and he has no more attempts
P (C) = 0.6 ( 60 %)
0.16 · 2 + 0.24 · 1 + 0.6 · 0 = 0.32 + 0.34 = 0.56
The expected value is 0.56 points.
It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.
Factor out a and subtract.
Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -2 squared - 4 x 4 - 1
y=4-16-1
y=-11
