Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - 3)/(5 - a)

2/(5 - a)

perpendicular of 2/(5 - a) = -(5 - a)/2

(a - 0)/(1 - 0) = -(5 - a)/2

a/1 = -(5 - a)/2

2a = -5 + a

a = -5

A gambler is trying to determine whether or not to make a bet. If he bets and wins, he will profit $2000. If he bets and loses,
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The gambler's expected value if he makes the bet is $45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value:

15% probability of a profit of $2000.

100 - 15 = 85% probability of having to pay $300, that is, a loss of $300.

The expected value is each outcome multiplied by it's probability, so:

E = 0.15*2000 - 0.85*300 = 45

The gambler's expected value if he makes the bet is $45.

In △ABC, AB=9.2 ft, BC=11.9 ft, and m∠B=27°.
VladimirAG [237]
To calculate the area of a triangle you need the base & the altitude to this base:

Area triangle = 1/2(B x H)

Let's draw the altitude A intersecting BC in H. WE get now a right triangle AHB. We know AG = 9.2 we know the angle B =27°, so we can find the altitude AH through trigonometry :
sin(B) = opposite side over hypotenuse
sin(27°) = AH/AB==> sin(27°) =0.454 ==0.454= AH/9.2==>AH =0.454*9.2

AH = 4.177

Area triangle ABC = (1/2) * 11.9 * 4.177= 24.85

Answer:

Part A: 0.36...

Part B: Repeating

Step-by-step explanation: 16/44=0.36... The three periods means that the same two places repeat forever. Normally you’d just put a line over a repeating decimal place but you can’t do that on keyboard.
