17. Your friend is betting on a game in which the probability of winning is 1 in 5. He has lost 5 games in a
row, so he says he will double his bet on the next game. What do you tell your friend?

Answers

Answer 1

The only problem is you may also go bankrupt before you're able to double your bet enough times.

If the game's events are independent,  similar to flipping a coin,  then the probability never changes, it's still a 1 out of 5 chance of winning each time.

The coin has no memory,  so it will always have the same probability on each flip.

If the games' events are like that,  a losing streak doesn't mean a win is now more likely.

But if the events are not independent,  it may make sense to increase the bet.  

for example,  a bag has 10 coins and 2 are worth 100.  You reach in and pull out 5 coins, all worth only a penny each.

What is the probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.

Your odds of getting one of the 2 $100 coins is now much greater than the original 1 out of 5 chance.

 You originally had a 2 out of 10 chance on the first draw.  But now it's up to 2 out of the remaining 5 or 40% chance of winning.  

There is another reason someone may wish to double their bet.  If you doubled your bet each time you lost,  you would eventually recoup all your losses.  It can work.

The only problem is you may also go bankrupt before you're able to double your bet enough times.

That risk is usually considered too great to double your bets on independent events.

Find the area of triangle PQR.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the angle of QPR, we subtract 90-60=30. This proves that the triangle is a 30,60,90, as angle QRP must be 60°. To get the area, we must know the length and width. These can be derived from a known relationship within 30,60,90 triangles.

[tex]qp = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} n[/tex]

[tex]qr = \frac{1}{2} n[/tex]

[tex]pr = n[/tex]

because half of pr is 10, we can conclude that n is 20. So we plug 20 into N for QP and QR, and get values of

[tex]qp = 5 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

[tex]qr = 5[/tex]

Now we multiply (l*w)/2 and get:

What is Kepler Orbit?

Generally, In the study of astrodynamics, an ellipse of the satellite is often referred to as a Kepler Orbit

The function of the elliptical orbit is

The easiest way to do this is to take the square root immediately, which is usually possible.

Solution

√(x + 2)^2 = √121                     Take the square root

x + 2 = 11                                   Subtract 2 from both sides

Math: One to One function...help!

A one-to-one function has an inverse. The inverse is another function that undoes the action of the first one, so if we evaluate a function [tex]f[/tex] at some point [tex]x[/tex] to get the number [tex]f(x)[/tex], evaluating the inverse at [tex]f(x)[/tex] will recover the original input [tex]x[/tex]. In other words,

[tex]f^{-1}(f(x)) = x[/tex]

The process works in the opposite direction, too:

[tex]f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = x[/tex]

From the given definition of [tex]g[/tex], we have [tex]g(-4) = 3[/tex], so taking inverses on both sides, we find

[tex]g(-4) = 3 \implies g^{-1}(g(-4)) = g^{-1}(3) \implies \boxed{g^{-1}(3) = -4}[/tex]

Given [tex]h(x)=2x-13[/tex], evaluating [tex]h[/tex] at its inverse will recover [tex]x[/tex], so that

[tex]h\left(h^{-1}(x)\right) = x \implies 2h^{-1}(x) - 13 = x \implies \boxed{h^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x+13}2}[/tex]

[tex](h\circ h^{-1})(x)[/tex] is another way of writing the compound function [tex]h\left(h^{-1}(x)\right)[/tex]. As already discussed, this reduces to [tex]x[/tex], so

[tex]\boxed{\left(h\circ h^{-1}\right)(-9) = -9}[/tex]

The Scooter Company manufactures and sells electric scooters. Each scooter cost $150 to produce, and the company has a fixed cost of $2,000. The Scooter Company earns a total revenue that can be determined by the function R(x) = 400x − 2x2, where x represents each electric scooter sold. Which of the following functions represents the Scooter Company's total profit?

−2x2 − 150x − 2,000
−2x2 + 250x − 2,000
−2x2 + 150x − 1,600
−300x3 − 4,000x2 + 60,000x + 800,000

Answers

The function that represents the Scooter Company's total profit is given by:

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.

How to calculate the profit function?

The profit function is calculated by the revenue function subtracted by the cost function, hence:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

In this problem, we have that:

The revenue function is: R(x) = 400x - 2x².The cost function is: X(x) = 150x + 2000.

Hence the profit function is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

P(x) = 400x - 2x² - (150x + 2000).

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.
