The three coins could land any these 8 ways:

HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

P(3 heads) = 1 way out of 8  or 1/8

P(2 heads) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(1 head) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(0 heads) = 1 way out of 8 or 1/8

x=Winnings  P(x)  E(x)=x�P(x)

    $3      1/8      $.375

    $2      3/8      $.75

    $1      3/8      $.375

  -$10      1/8     -$1.25

---------------------------

Total expectation =   $ .25

Solve for x and y simultaneously:<br> X-2y=3<br> 4xsquared-5xy+6y=3
Mkey [24]
X - 2y = 3
<span>4x^2 - 5xy + 6y = 3
lets solve for x the first and substitute in the second:
x = 3 + 2y
4(</span>3 + 2y)^2 - 5(3 + 2y)y + 6y = 3
4(9 + 12y + 4y^2) - 15y - 10y^2 = 3
36 + 48y +16y^2<span> - 15y - </span><span>10y^2 = 3
6y^2 + 33y + 33 = 0
we can solve using the general quadratic formula:
y = (-33 +- </span>√(33^2 - 4*6*33)<span>)/12
</span>y = (-33 +- √(297)<span>)/12
</span>so there are 2 solutions for y:
y1 = (-33 + √(297)<span>)/12
</span>y2 = (-33 - √(297)<span>)/12
</span>pick one and then substitute the y value in the first equation to find x

Find the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y = 1/2.
Ghella [55]

Solution:

As region bounded by y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y=1/2 is a line segment of definite length on y-axis.

We consider a line , one dimensional  if it's thickness is negligible.

So, Line is  two dimensional if it's thickness is not negligible becomes a quadrilateral.

So, Area (region bounded by y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y=1/2 is a line segment of definite length on y-axis)= Area of line segment between [,y=6 and  y=1/2.]= 6-1/2=11/2 units if we consider thickness of line as negligible.

Given:<br> f(x)=x^2<br> g(x)=x-1<br> Find f(g(2))+g(f(-1))
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to work out the left-hand side.

  • find g(2) → g(2) = 2 - 1 which is 1
  • next, find f(1) → f(1) = 1³ which is 1

Now, we can work out the right hand side.

  • find f(-1) → f(-1) = -1³ which is -1
  • then, find g(-1) → g(-1) = -1 - 1 = -2

Finally we can work out the full sum: 1 + -2 = -1.

Hope this helps!
