The slopes of the original function y = |x| are m = 1 and m = -1 (m is the variable used to represent slope).

when you add a coefficient (number) in front of |x|, it will either make the slopes steeper or more flat. the larger the value of the coefficient, the steeper the slope will be (vice versa for a coefficient smaller than 1, which would make the slope more flat than the parent(original) function).

because these are absolute value functions, they will have two slopes. one slope for the end going up from left to right, and one for the end going down from left to right. this means that one slope must be positive and the other slope must be negative for each function.

with this in mind, the slopes of y = 2|x| are m = 2 and m = -2. the coefficient of 2 narrows the function by a factor of 2 (it is twice as narrow as the parent function). the same rules apply to y = 4|x| with the slopes of this function as m = -4 and m = 4 (it is 4 times narrower than the parent function).

with the fraction coefficients, the function is being widened. therefore, the slopes of y = 1/2 |x| are m = -1/2 and m = 1/2. the slopes of y = 1/5 |x| are m = -1/5 and m = 1/5.

An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of 4000 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Expected benefit under this policy = $ 2694

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of

            4000 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the

            benefit decreases by 1000 each successive year until it reaches 0.

            If the device has not failed by the beginning of any given year, the

            probability of failure during that year is 0.4.

To find - What is the expected benefit under this policy ?

Proof -

Let us suppose that,

The benefit = y

Given that, the probability of failure during that year is 0.4

⇒Probability of non-failure = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Now,

If the device fail in second year , then

Probability = 0.6×0.4

If the device fail in third year, then

Probability = 0.6×0.6×0.4 = 0.6² × 0.4

Going on like this , we get

If the device is failed in n year, then

Probability = 0.6ⁿ⁻¹ × 0.4

Now,

The probability distribution is-

Benefit , x       4000       3000             2000            1000              0

P(x)                 0.4         0.6×0.4         0.6² × 0.4     0.6³ × 0.4     1 - 0.8704

                      (0.4)       (0.24)            (0.144)         (0.0864)       (0.1296)

At last year, the probability = 1 - (0.4+ 0.24+ 0.144+ 0.0864) = 1 - 0.8704

Now,

We know that,

Expected value ,

E(x) = ∑x p(x)

       = 4000(0.4) + 3000(0.24) + 2000(0.144) + 1000(0.0864) + 0(0.1296)

       = 1600 + 720 + 288 + 86.4 + 0

       = 2694.4

⇒E(x) = 2694.4 ≈ 2694

∴ we get

Expected benefit under this policy = $ 2694

What is x equal to????
Ksju [112]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 arcs UV, VW, WX form a semicircle, so sum to 180° , that is

4x + 2 + x + 78 = 180

5x + 80 = 180 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20
