Answer:
The expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom is 12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
Let X be the random variable that denotes the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom.
We can evaluate E(X) by calculating the doors selected, If Y be the event that the prisoner selects a door, Then;
E(X) = E( E[X|Y] )
E(X) = E [X|Y =1 ] P{Y =1} + E [X|Y =2 ] P{Y =2} + E [X|Y =3 ] P{Y =3}
[tex]E(X) = (2 + E[X])\dfrac{1}{2}+ (4 + E[X])\dfrac{3}{10}+ 1 (\dfrac{2}{10})[/tex]
[tex]E(X) = (2 + E[X])0.5+ (4 + E[X])0.3+ 0.2[/tex]
Solving for E[X]; we get
E[X] = 12

A peacock walks 6 feet in 15 seconds how many feet can a peacock walk in 98 seconds?
Answer:
[tex]Distance = 39.2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Distance = 6ft;\\ Time = 15seconds[/tex]
Required
Determine the distance covered in 98 seconds
To solve this, the following assumption must be made:
The peacock walks at a constant speedSo, first we calculate the speed
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Substitute 6 for Distance and 15 for Time
[tex]Speed = \frac{6}{15}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = 0.40[/tex]
Next, is to calculate the required distance
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]Speed = 0.40[/tex] because it is constant and
[tex]Time = 98[/tex]
The expression becomes:
[tex]0.40 = \frac{Distance}{98}[/tex]
Make Distance the subject:
[tex]Distance = 0.40 * 98[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 39.2[/tex]
The peacock will walk 39.2 feet in 98 seconds
Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail room. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:
Answer:
Her raise per hour is $3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic Equation
The standard representation of a quadratic equation is:
[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]
where a,b, and c are constants.
It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
Jill asks for an increase in the hourly wage she receives. Since she works in a Maths Center, the increase comes as a maths equation.
She must solve the equation:
[tex]x^2-6x+9=0[/tex]
The solution to the equation is the increase in her hourly wage.
Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}[/tex]
Since the square root is 0, there is only one solution:
[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]
x = 3
Thus, her raise per hour is $3.
Solve using substitution.
y = 3x – 6.
y = 2x – 1
Answer:
x = 1 and y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To use substitution, you want to substitute something for another variable. So lets take the first equation and solve for y
2x - y = -1
2x = y - 1
2x + 1 = y
Now we can substitute 2x + 1 for y in the other equation
3x + 2x + 1 = 6
5x = 5
x = 1
now that we have x, we can get y
2(1) - y = -1
2 - y = -1
2 = y - 1
3 = y
So x = 1 and y = 3
Let $p$ and $q$ be the two distinct solutions to the equation $$(x-3)(x+3) = 21x - 63.$$
If $p > q$, what is the value of $p - q$?
Given:
p and q are the two distinct solutions to the equation
[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21x-63[/tex]
To find:
The value of p-q if p>q.
Solution:
We have,
[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21x-63[/tex]
[tex](x-3)(x+3)=21(x-3)[/tex]
[tex](x-3)(x+3)-21(x-3)=0[/tex]
[tex](x-3)(x+3-21)=0[/tex]
[tex](x-3)(x-18)=0[/tex]
Using zero product property, we get
[tex]x-3=0\text{ and }x-18=0[/tex]
[tex]x=3\text{ and }x=18[/tex]
Here, 18>3, so p=18 and q=3.
Now,
[tex]p-q=18-3[/tex]
[tex]p-q=12[/tex]
Therefore, the value of p-q is 12.

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:
C = 5 over 9(F − 32)
The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:
C = 5 over 9(F − 32)
Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?
F = 9 over 5C + 32
F = 9 over 5C − 32
F = 9C + 32 over 5
F = 9C − 32 over 5
Answer:
F = 9 over 5C + 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's consider the following equation that shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F.
C = 5 over 9(F − 32)
C = 5/9 (F − 32)
To solve for F, first, we will multiply both sides by 9/5.
C × 9/5 = 5/9 (F − 32) × 9/5
9/5 C = F − 32
Now, we add 32 to both sides.
9/5 C + 32 = F − 32 + 32
9/5 C + 32 = F
F = 9 over 5C + 32
Answer:
F = 9 over 5C + 32
Step-by-step explanation:
A fruit vendor sells apples and mangos. Each apple costs the same amount, and each mango costs the same amount.
· Lucy buys 3 apples and 6 mangos for a total of $9.15.
· Amir buys 8 apples and 4 mangos for 11.92.
What is the cost of a single apple?
Answer:
$0.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a single apple is x and that of single mango is y.
ATQ,
3x+6y=9.15 ....(1)
8x+4y=11.92 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 8 and equation (2) by 3
24x+48y=73.2 ...(3)
24x+12y=35.76 ...(4)
Subtract equation (2) from (1) :
24x+12y-(24x+48y) = 35.76 - 73.2
12y-48y = -37.44
-36y = -37.44
y = $1.04
Put the value of y in equation (1)
3x+6y=9.15
3x+6(1.04) = 9.15
3x = 9.15-6(1.04)
3x = 2.91
x = $0.97
Hence, the cost of single apple is $0.97.

In step 2, I used the difference of squares rule to factor the numerator. The denominator can be factored through trial and error. The key here is the f(x)-2 terms that show up in each. Those factors cancel in step 3.
Afterward, we apply the substitution rule, [tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = f(a)[/tex], so basically I plugged in x = 3. Then evaluated f(3) = 2 due to the point (3,2).

Calculate had a net income of 5 million dollars in 2010, while a small competing company, Computate, had a
net income of 2 millions dollars. The management of Calculate develops a business plan for future growth
that projects an increase in net income of 0.5 million per year, while the management of Computate
develops a plan aimed at increasing its net income kshy15% each year.
a. Create standard mathematical model (table, graph, or equations) for the projected net income for the
next 10 years for both companies. Make sure that each model is accurate and labeled properly so that it
represents the situation
b. If both companies were able to meet their net income growth goals, which company would you choose
to invest in? Why?
c. When, if ever, would your projections suggest that the two companies have the same net income? How
did you find this? Will they ever have the same net income again?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a) see the attached spreadsheet (table)
b) Calculate, for a 10-year horizon; Computate for a longer horizon.
c) Year 13; no
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The attached table shows net income projections for the two companies. Calculate's increases by 0.5 million each year; Computate's increases by 15% each year. The result is rounded to the nearest dollar.
__
b) After year 4, Computate's net income is increasing by more than 0.5 million per year, so its growth is faster and getting faster yet. However, in the first 10 years, Calculate's net income remains higher than that of Computate. If we presume that some percentage of net income is returned to investors, then Calculate may provide a better return on investment.
The scenario given here is only interested in the first 10 years. However, beyond that time frame (see part C), we find that Computate's income growth far exceeds that of Calculate.
__
c) Extending the table through year 13, we see that Computate's net income exceeds Calculate's in that year. It continues to remain higher as long as the model remains valid.

If f(x)=|x−5|+2, find f(3)
Answer:
f(3) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value, |X|, is defined as the magnitude of a number without regard to its sign. For example, absolute value of 1 is 1 and absolute value of -1 is 1.
Thus, based on the function:
f(x)=|x−5|+2
f(3) = |3−5|+2
f(3) = |-2|+2
-Absolute value of -2 = 2-
f(3) = 2+2
f(3) = 4
