Each time x increases by 2 (eg: from x = -3 to x = -1), the value of y increases by 7 (eg: y = 9.5 to y = 16.5)
Change in y = 7
change in x = 2
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = 7/2 = 3.5
This all means that we have a linear equation
Answer:
We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in a lottery game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 27.
We know that

As there is only one advantageous combination, we conclude that the number of non-winning combinations is 296009.
He can win 40,000 dollars.
We calculate:

We conclude that expected value of this game is -0.865$.
Answer:
f(- 1) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(- 1) substitute x = - 1 into f(x) , that is
f(- 1) = (- 1)² - 5(- 1) - 3 = 1 + 5 - 3 = 3
The answer is 35/64 or 0.546875 in decimal form
first we write all numerators above the least common denominator 64
1+40-6
————
64
next we solve the numerators by doing 1+40-6 to get 35/64
