Let W be the random variable representing your winnings from playing the game. Then
[tex]P(W=w)=\begin{cases}\text{prob. of rolling an even number}=\frac12&\text{if }w=\$0.50-\$1=-\$0.50\\\text{prob. of rolling a 1}=\frac16&\text{if }w=\$2-\$1=\$1\\\text{prob. of rolling 3 or 5}=\frac13&\text{if }w=\$1-\$1=\$0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]
In short, you have a 1/6 chance of profiting from the game, and a 5/6 chance of losing money. So the odds of winning are (1/6)/(5/6) = 1/5 or 1 to 5.
If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = x^a(2 − x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.
Answer:
The maximum value of f(x) occurs at:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]
And is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = x^a (2-x)^b \text{ where } a, b >0[/tex]
And we want to find the maximum value of f(x) on the interval [0, 2].
First, let's evaluate the endpoints of the interval:
[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = (0)^a(2-(0))^b = 0[/tex]
And:
[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = (2)^a(2-(2))^b = 0[/tex]
Recall that extrema occurs at a function's critical points. The critical points of a function at the points where its derivative is either zero or undefined. Thus, find the derivative of the function:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x^a\left(2-x\right)^b\right][/tex]
By the Product Rule:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) &= \frac{d}{dx}\left[x^a\right] (2-x)^b + x^a\frac{d}{dx}\left[(2-x)^b\right]\\ \\ &=\left(ax^{a-1}\right)\left(2-x\right)^b + x^a\left(b(2-x)^{b-1}\cdot -1\right) \\ \\ &= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right] \end{aligned}[/tex]
Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x:
[tex]\displaystyle 0= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right][/tex]
By the Zero Product Property:
[tex]\displaystyle x^a (2-x)^b = 0\text{ or } \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} = 0[/tex]
The solutions to the first equation are x = 0 and x = 2.
First, for the second equation, note that it is undefined when x = 0 and x = 2.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the denominators.
[tex]\displaystyle\left( \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} \right)\left((x(2-x)\right) = 0(x(2-x))[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle a(2-x) - b(x) = 0[/tex]
And solve for x:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a-ax-bx &= 0 \\ 2a &= ax+bx \\ 2a&= x(a+b) \\ \frac{2a}{a+b} &= x \end{aligned}[/tex]
So, our critical points are:
[tex]\displaystyle x = 0 , 2 , \text{ and } \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]
We already know that f(0) = f(2) = 0.
For the third point, we can see that:
[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(2- \frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]
This can be simplified to:
[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]
Since a and b > 0, both factors must be positive. Thus, f(2a / (a + b)) > 0. So, this must be the maximum value.
To confirm that this is indeed a maximum, we can select values to test. Let a = 2 and b = 3. Then:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = x^2(2-x)^3\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{2-x}\right)[/tex]
The critical point will be at:
[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{2(2)}{(2)+(3)} = \frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]
Testing x = 0.5 and x = 1 yields that:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(0.5) >0\text{ and } f'(1) <0[/tex]
Since the derivative is positive and then negative, we can conclude that the point is indeed a maximum.
Therefore, the maximum value of f(x) occurs at:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]
And is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]
what is an example of a quintic bionomial?
Scientists have steadily increased the amount of grain that farms can produce each year. The yield for farms in France is given by y=−2.73x2+11000x−11000000 where x is the year and y is the grain yield in kilograms per hectare (kg/ha).
What does the y-intercept of this function represent?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
the yield in year 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-value is the yield for farms in France in year x. The y-value when x=0 is the yield for farms in France in year 0.

Additional comment
The reasonable domain for this function is approximately 1843 ≤ x ≤ 2186. The function is effectively undefined for values of x outside this domain, so the y-intercept is meaningless by itself.
Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2
Answer:
2x^2+4x-16
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic can be written as
f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots
f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)
a is the leading coefficient
f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)
= 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)
= 2(x^2 +2x-8)
= 2x^2 +4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I have uploaded a graph for you. The x axis is the number of years. The y axis is the salary multiplied by 1000. I should have made the multiplication factor 10000 but 1000 will do.
The 5 given points are plotted in red. The blue line is the function.
The function is y = 5x + 35. That means for every year you add 5 times the year onto the salary.
No years is 35000
1 year is 1 * 5000 + 35000
2 years is 2 * 5000 + 35000 = 45000
6 years is 5 * 5000 * 35000 = 65000
and so on.
The point you want is x = 12
12 years is 12 * 5000 + 35000 = 95000

fHãy tìm hàm gốc f(t) có hàm ảnh Laplace như dưới đây:
F(p)=6/p(2p^2+4p +10)
It looks like we're given the Laplace transform of f(t),
[tex]F(p) = L_p\left\{f(t)\right\} = \dfrac6{p(2p^2+4p+10)} = \dfrac3{p(p^2+2p+5)}[/tex]
Start by splitting up F(p) into partial fractions:
[tex]\dfrac3{p(p^2+2p+5)} = \dfrac ap + \dfrac{bp+c}{p^2+2p+5} \\\\ 3 = a(p^2+2p+5) + (bp+c)p \\\\ 3 = (a+b)p^2 + (2a+c)p + 5a \\\\ \implies \begin{cases}a+b=0 \\ 2a+c=0 \\ 5a=3\end{cases} \implies a=\dfrac35,b=-\dfrac35, c=-\dfrac65[/tex]
[tex]F(p) = \dfrac3{5p} - \dfrac{3p+6}{5(p^2+2p+5)}[/tex]
Complete the square in the denominator,
[tex]p^2+2p+5 = p^2+2p+1+4 = (p+1)^2+4[/tex]
and rewrite the numerator in terms of p + 1,
[tex]3p+6 = 3(p+1) + 3[/tex]
Then splitting up the second term gives
[tex]F(p) = \dfrac3{5p} - \dfrac{3(p+1)}{5((p+1)^2+4)} - \dfrac3{5((p+1)^2+4)}[/tex]
Now take the inverse transform:
[tex]L^{-1}_t\left\{F(p)\right\} = \dfrac35 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac1p\right\} - \dfrac35 L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac{p+1}{(p+1)^2+2^2}\right\} - \dfrac3{5\times2} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac2{(p+1)^2+2^2}\right\} \\\\ L^{-1}_t\left\{F(p)\right\} = \dfrac35 - \dfrac35 e^{-t} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac p{p^2+2^2}\right\} - \dfrac3{10} e^{-t} L^{-1}_t\left\{\dfrac2{p^2+2^2}\right\} \\\\ \implies \boxed{f(t) = \dfrac35 - \dfrac35 e^{-t} \cos(2t) - \dfrac3{10} e^{-t} \sin(2t)}[/tex]

2/7m - 1/7 = 3/14
(2/7)m - (1/7) = 3/14
2m/7 =(3/14) + (1/7)
2m/7 = (3/14) + 2(1/7)
here we are multiplying 2 with 1/7 to make the denominator same for addition.
2m/7 = (3/14) +(2/14)
2m/7 = (3 + 2)/14
2m/7 = 5/14
2m = (5 *7)/14
2m = 35/14
2m = 5/2
m = 5/4
m = 1.25

What is the Pythagorean theorem?Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
We can apply this theorem only in a right triangle.
Example:
The hypotenuse side of a triangle with the two sides as 4 cm and 3 cm.
Hypotenuse side = √(4² + 3²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5 cm
We have,
Let's denote the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall by x.
The length of the ladder = L.
Now,
L = 10 ft
dx/dt = 4 ft/sec
x = 6 ft.
The rate of change of the height of the ladder with respect to time.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
L² = x² + y²
Differentiating both sides with respect to time t, we get:
2L (dL/dt) = 2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt)
Substituting L = 10 ft, x = 6 ft, and dx/dt = 4 ft/sec.
20(dL/dt) = 12(4) + 2y(dy/dt)
Simplifying and solving for dy/dt.
dy/dt = (20/2y)(dL/dt) - 24
Now,
The height of the ladder.
Using the Pythagorean theorem again, we have:
y² = L² - x²
= 100 - 36
= 64
y = 8
Now,
Substituting y = 8 ft, dL/dt = 0
(since the length of the ladder is constant), and dx/dt = 4 ft/sec.
dy/dt
= (20/2(8))(0) - 24
= -24 ft/sec
Therefore,
The height of the ladder is decreasing at a rate of 24 ft/sec.
