In the long run, you will lose $1 per game.

To find the expected value of this game, we have to multiply the chances by each prize. Then, add up all the possibilities.

(1/6) x $12 + (1/3) x $3 + (1/2) x $8 

2 + 1 - 4 = -1

On average, you will lose $1 per game.

Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. write the formula for this sequence in the form
9966 [12]
The rule of the <span>geometric sequence is a* r^{n-1}
a ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>the first term
r ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>common ratio

Given: the fourth term </span>(a4) <span>= 121.5   and the common ratio = 3  and   n = 4

∴</span><span> 121.5 = a* 3^{4-1}
∴ a = 121.5/3³ = 121.5/27 = 4.5

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x = 6 ; Rewritten: 2x-3y-12=0 ; y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3 multiply 0=12

x=6 ( that's the function)

Rewritten steps: 2x-3y=12 then move constant to the left by adding its opposite to both sides which gives you 2x-3y-12=12-12. After the sum of two opposites equals 0 which is 2x-3y-12=0

Y Intercept :

2x-3y=12 and to find y intercept, sub x = 0 ; to 2 multiply 0 -3y=12 and then you solve for the equation which is your answer.

the trinomial x2 bx c factors to (x m)(x n). if b is negative and c is positive, what must be true about m and n?
galina1969 [7]

For c to be positive, and for b to be negative, m must be negative and n must be negative.


X^2 - bx + c = (x - m)(x - n).

c is the product of m and n. If both m and n are positive, c would be positive. However b is the sum of m and n, therefore to make b negative, both m and n must be negative to ensure that the product of m and n is positive

A boat takes twice as long to travel 5 km upstream as it does travel 3km downstream in a river that flows at a rate of 2 kph. At
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 22 kph

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)

UPSTREAM: d = 5 km,   r = *x - y,  y = 2 kph,   t = 2t

DOWNSTREAM: d = 3 k,  r = *x + y,   y = 2 kph,   t = t

*x is the speed in still water and y is the current of the water.

Upstream equation:       5 = 2t(x - 2)   -->    \dfrac{5}{2(x-2)}=t

Downstream equation:  3 = t(x + 2)     -->    \dfrac{3}{x+2}=t

Set the equations equal to each other to solve for x:

\dfrac{5}{2(x-2)}=\dfrac{3}{x+2}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply:}\\5(x+2)=3\cdot2(x-2)\\\\\text{Distribute:}\\5x+10=6x-12\\\\\text{Isolate x:}\\10=x-12\\22=x
