Tom makes a bet with his friend Bob. Bob wagers $100, but Tom decides to make him a deal. If Bob wins, Tom will pay him $100. If Tom wins, Bob will instead pay $1 for the first day, then every day for 10 days he must match the total amount paid so far.
For the first day, Bob will pay $1. The second day, he will pay an additional dollar, since he has only paid $1 thus far. The third day he will pay $2, the fourth $4, and so on.
If Bob has a 75% chance to win, which of the following is the closest to the amount of money Tom will make on average with this bet?
Possible Answers:
A. -$25
B. $50
C. $0
D. $25
E. $100

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x) = x^2 - 4x[/tex]

And we want to find:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2b^2)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2b^2) =(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2)[/tex]

And evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(2b^2) &=(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2) \\ &=(4b^4) +(-8b^2) \\ &= 4b^4 - 8b^2 \end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion, our answer is A.

Here we go !!

Since it's a regular pentagon, all it's sides are equal so let's solve for x

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 3(x - 1) = 5x - 6[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 3x - 3 = 5x - 6[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 3x - 5x = - 6 + 3[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: - 2x = - 3[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 3}{ - 2} [/tex]

[tex] \boxed{\boxed{x = \dfrac{3}{2} }}[/tex]

now let's find the measure of each side, i.e

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 5x - 6[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: (5 \times \dfrac{3}{2}) - 6[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: \dfrac{15}{2} - 6[/tex]

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 7.5 - 6[/tex]

[tex] \mathrm{\hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \: units}[/tex]

perimeter = 5 × side length ( for a regular pentagon )

[tex] \hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \times 5[/tex]

[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 7.5 \: \: units \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf SG = 31}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

SW = 3x + 1

WA = 6x

AG = x + 6

SW = AG

Required:

Length of SG = ?

Solution:

Given that:

SW = AG

3x + 1 = x + 6

Combining like terms

3x - x = 6 - 1

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

Now,

SG = SW + WA + AG

SG = 3x + 1 + 6x + x + 6

SG = 3x + 6x + x + 1 + 6

SG = 10x + 6

Put x = 2.5

SG = 10(2.5) + 6

SG = 25 + 6

SG = 31

Area of the pool cover:

b.

The length of the rope:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the length of the pool and the extent the pool cover [ 12in = 1ft ] has over the pool.

20 + 2 = 22ft

Part A:

The formula for the area of a circle is πr².

To find the radius just divide by two; 22 / 2 = 11ft

= π(11)²

= 121π

≈ 379.94ft

Part B:

We can use the circumference formula [ dπ ] to find how long the rope is.

= 22(3.14)

= 69.08ft

Best of Luck!

However, if a side has a parentheses () then it is simply less than. It cannot be that exact number, but it can be even slightly less than that number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be isosceles it must have 2 equal sides.

Calculate the length of the sides using the distance formula

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, 5)

AB = [tex]\sqrt{(3-(-1))^2+(5-2)^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{(3+1)^2+3^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{4^2+9}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{16+9}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = C (3, - 1)

AC = [tex]\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(-1-2)^2}[/tex]

      = [tex]\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2}[/tex]

      = [tex]\sqrt{16+9}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

Consider B (3, 5) and C (3, - 1)

Since both x- coordinates are 3, this is a vertical line and its length is the difference of the y- coordinates, that is

BC = | - 1 - 5 | = | - 6 | = 6

Then

AB = AC = 5 , BC = 6

Since AB = AC = 5 then the triangle is isosceles

Answer:

{ - 3, 0 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

The end values here are - 3 and 0 so brackets are used, that is

[ - 3, 0 ]

Answer:

sin b = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are complementary angles , then

sin b = cos a = 0.8

The sine of angle b is 0.8

"It is a triangle in which one of the angle measures 90° "

"It is the longest side of the right triangle."

"In a right triangle, sine of angle [tex]\theta[/tex] is the ratio of the opposite side of angle  [tex]\theta[/tex] to the hypotenuse."

"In a right triangle, cosine of angle [tex]\theta[/tex] is the ratio of the adjacent side of angle  [tex]\theta[/tex] to the hypotenuse."

"Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is equal to 90 degrees."

For given question,

We have been given a right triangle.

here,

∠a + ∠b = 90°

∠b = 90° - ∠a                             ................(i)

This means, a and b are complementary angles.

The cosine of a is 0.8

cos(a) = 0.8

We need to find the sine of angle b.

sin(b)

= sin(90 - a)                        .............(from (i))

= cos(a)                               .............(Since [tex]sin(90-\theta)=cos(\theta)[/tex])

= 0.8                                    ............(Given)

So, sin(b) = 0.8

Therefore, the sine of angle b is 0.8

The length of the shorter piece is 45 inches.

Let's represent the length of the shorter piece as "x" inches.

According to the information given, the length of the longer piece would be three times the length of the shorter piece, which means it's 3x inches.

Since the total length of the pipe is 180 inches, we can set up an equation:

x (shorter piece) + 3x (longer piece) = 180

Now solve for x:

4x = 180

x = 45

Therefore, the length of the shorter piece is 45 inches.
