Answer:
Your first instinct might be to go ahead and add the x terms together, BUT this would be a bad thing to do! You cannot combine the x2 and 2x, because the first term has an exponent (2) and the second one does not have an exponent; therefore, you cannot add them together!
Step-by-step explanation:
This question does not make much sense. Brigid has already picked 112 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 58 bushels per hour, the scenario question does not make any sense. 58h + 112 = 5...? What does this mean? But whatever the left side of the equation is, first subtract 112 from both sides and divide by 58, then you will get the value of "h."
Answer:
Expected value of the game: -$0.421
Expected loss in 1000 games: $421
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two possible outcomes for the event:
- There is a 1 in 38 chance of winning $280
- There is a 37 in 38 chance of losing $8
The expected value for a single game is:

The expected value of the game is -$0.421
In 1,000 plays, the expected loss is:

You would expect to lose $421.
The question is saying a number is square, then squared again, and finally square again, making that number squared itself up to 3 times. So we take 6561 and we square root it 3 times. Square root of 6561 is 81, square of 81 is 9, and finally square root if 9 is 3. The final answer is 3.
