Answer:
(a) PC(C)= 
(b) E[C] = 24 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost to receive a photo = 20 cents
Cost to send a photo = 30 cents
Probability of receiving a photo = 0.6
Probability of sending a photo = 0.4
We need to find
(a) PC(c)
(b) E[C]
Solution:
(a)
PC(C)= 
(b)
Expected value can be calculated by multiplying probability with cost.
E[C] = Probability × cost
E[C] = 
To graph it, just graph
and
and see where they intersect
I would like to solve it by using math and not graphing
if you don't want to see the math, just don't scroll down
the graphical meathod is above, first line, just read it
hmm
multiply both sides by -1
multiply both sides by
minus 1 from both sides and minus 6(3^x) from both sides
use u subsitution
we can rewrite it as
now factor
I mean use quadratic formula
for
so for 0=u^2-16u-1, a=1, b=-16, c=-1
remember that u=3^x so u>0
if we have u=8+√65, it's fine, but u=8-√65 is negative and not allowed
so therfor
if you take the log base 3 of both sides you get
if you use ln then
then

Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is 
which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term (
) is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.
Figure 1:
3 x 8 x 5 = 120cm³
Figure 2:
2 x 5 x 6 = 60cm³
Total Volume = 120 + 60 = 180cm³
