Based on the information, the power company should hire the geologist.

It should be noted that to make a decision, we can use the Expected Value (EV) criterion. The EV of building at Diablo without hiring the geologist is:

EV(Diablo without geologist) = (0.2 * (-$10 million)) + (0.8 * $10 million) = $6 million

The EV of building at Roy Rogers City without hiring the geologist is:

EV(Roy Rogers without geologist) = $20 million

The probability of an earthquake occurring and the geologist predicting it is 0.95 * 0.2 = 0.19. The probability of an earthquake occurring and the geologist not predicting it is 0.05 * 0.2 = 0.01. The probability of an earthquake not occurring and the geologist predicting it is 0.1 * 0.8 = 0.08. The probability of an earthquake not occurring and the geologist not predicting it is 0.9 * 0.8 = 0.72.

The EV of hiring the geologist is:

EV(Diablo with geologist) = (0.19 * $0) + (0.01 * (-$10 million)) + (0.08 * (-$1 million)) + (0.72 * $10 million) = $6.8 million

Comparing the EVs, we can see that the company should build at Diablo with the geologist's help, as it yields a higher EV. The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this...this right triangle has two legs of length x  and hypotenuse of 9 units

Use Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 + x^2 = 9^2

x = 9/sqrt2   =  9 sqrt (2) / 2

When p is the incenter of angle JKL, then by using the property of incenter, measures of the sides and the angles will be, JK = 21.2 units and KL = 26.63 units and JL = 28.33 units and M∠K = 36°

By the property of incenter, we know that PM = PN = PO = 7 units,

∠MJP = ∠OJP = 32° and ∠NLP = ∠OLP = 22°

By the triangle sum theorem, we can say that:

M∠JKL + m∠KLJ + m∠LJK = 180°

2(m∠NKP) + 2(m∠NLP) + 2(m∠MJP) = 180°

2(m∠NKP) + 2(22°) + 2(32°) = 180°

2(m∠NKP) = 180° - 108°

M∠NKP = 36°

From ΔJMP,

Tan(32°) = MP/MJ and Tan(32°) = 7/MJ

MJ = 7/tan(32°) and MJ = 11.20

From ΔPOL,

Tan(22°) = OP/OL and Tan(22°) = 7/OL and OL = 17.33

From ΔKNP,

Tan(36°) = NP/KN and Tan(36°) = 7/KN and KN = 9.63

Therefore, JK = MJ + MK = 21.2 units

KL = LN + KN = 26.63 units and JL = JO + OL = 28.33 units

The volume of the solid is the amount of space  value is k = 32.

What is volume in maths?.

Volume in mathematics refers to the quantity of space within a certain 3D object. A fish tank, for example, has measurements of 3 feet long by 1 foot wide and 2 feet high. If you increase the length, breadth, and height by 3x1x2, which is equal to six, you can calculate the volume.

The volume of the solid is represents in cubic units. Thus

     k = ∛v/4

    k³ = v/4

     v = 4k³    ( k≥0)

a. The independent and dependent variables are:

b. Rate of change = $7.75

c. initial value = $20

d. The total charge for 17 people = $151.75

e. The number of people who could come for $500 is $62.

To determine the independent and dependent variables, we need to identify which variable depends on the other. In this case, the total charge depends on the number of people attending the party. Therefore, the number of people is the independent variable, and the total charge is the dependent variable.

To find the rate of change, we can use the slope formula:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)

slope = (175 - 97.5) / (20 - 10)

slope = 7.75

Therefore, the rate of change is $7.75 per person.

To find the initial value, we can use either of the two data points. Let's use the data point where Jimmy and 10 people have a total charge of $97.50.

y = mx + b

97.5 = 7.75(10) + b

b = 20

Therefore, the initial value (the fixed fee for the party) is $20.

To find the number of people who could come for $500, we can rearrange the equation:

y = mx + b

500 = 7.75x + 20

480 = 7.75x

x ≈ 62

Therefore, Jimmy could invite 62 people (including himself) to the party for $500.

Line segments AC and A'C' are on parallel: False.

In Geometry, dilation can be defined as a type of transformation which typically changes the size of a geometric object, but not its shape.

Based on the transformation rule, line segment AB would move further away from point P because both coordinates A and B move away from point P. Therefore, line segments AB and A'B' cannot be on the same line because they are parallel.

Conversely, line segment AC and A'C' are located on the same line because points A and C would move away from P, but line segment AC passes through point P, and line segment A'C' would do the same. Therefore, line segments AC and A'C' are not parallel.

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality of two expressions, usually with an equal sign "=" in between them. An equation can contain variables, constants, and operators. The variables are represented by letters and can take on different values, while constants are fixed values that do not change. Operators include mathematical symbols like plus, minus, multiplication, and division, as well as exponents and logarithms.

Here,

To subtract the given values in standard form, we need to make sure that the exponents of 10 are the same.

We can rewrite 4.57 × 10⁻¹⁰ as 0.457 × 10⁻⁹ (by moving the decimal point one place to the right) and rewrite 3.78 × 10⁻¹¹ as 0.0378 × 10⁻⁹ (by moving the decimal point one place to the right).

The critical point of the function y = 3x² - 40x + 8 is at (6²/₃, -125¹/₃)

The critical points of a function are the point at which there is a maximum or minimum value of the function.

Since we have the function y = 3x² - 40x + 8, we desire to find its ctitical points. We proceed as follows.

To find the critical points of the function y = 3x² - 40x + 8, we differentiate with respect to x and equate to zero.

So, y = 3x² - 40x + 8,

dy/dx = d(3x² - 40x + 8)/dx

= d3x²/dx - d40x/dx + d8/dx

= 2 × 3x - 40 + 0

= 6x - 40

So, equating to zero, we have

dy/dx = 0

6x - 40 = 0

6x = 40

x = 40/6

To determine if this is a maximum or minimum point, we differentiate dy/dx.

so, d(dy/dx) = d(6x - 40)/dx

d²y/dx² = d6x/dx - d40/dx

= 6 - 0

= 6

Since d²y/dx² = 6 > 0. x = 40/6 is a minimum point

So, substituting x = 40/6 into the equation, we have

y = 3x² - 40x + 8

y = 3(40/6)² - 40(40/6) + 8

= 3 × 1600/36 - 1600/6 + 8

= 1600/12 - 1600/6 + 8

= 1600/6(1/2 - 1) + 8

= -1600/12 + 8

= (-1600 + 96)/12

= -1504/12

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {x}^{2} - 8x + 97 = 0[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} - 8x = - 97[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} - 8x + 16 = - 81[/tex]

[tex] {(x - 4)}^{2} = - 81[/tex]

x - 4 = 9i or x - 4 = -9i

x = 4 + 9i or x = 4 - 9i

The probability that x is at most 16 is 0.68, or 68%. This means that in this region, there is a 68% chance that the depth of the bioturbation layer in sediment is less than or equal to 16 centimeters.

To draw the density curve for x, we can use the formula for the uniform probability density function:

f(x) = 1 / (b - a), for a <= x <= b

where a = 7.5 and b = 20 are the minimum and maximum values of the interval, respectively

Therefore, the density curve for x is a horizontal line with height 1 / (20 - 7.5) = 0.08, between x = 7.5 and x = 20.

To find the probability that x is at most 16, we can calculate the area under the density curve from x = 7.5 to x = 16. This is equal to:

P(x <= 16) = ∫7.5^16 f(x) dx

= ∫7.5^16 0.08 dx (since f(x) is constant over this interval)

= 0.08(x) ∣7.5^16

= 0.08(16 - 7.5)

= 0.68

Therefore, the probability that x is at most 16 is 0.68, or 68%. This means that in this region, there is a 68% chance that the depth of the bioturbation layer in sediment is less than or equal to 16 centimeters.

When a number is 12 more than another number and twice the sum of two numbers is four. Then two numbers are equals to the 7 and -5.

We have a number is 12 more than another number. Let the two numbers be 'a' and 'b' such that a> b. So, from the question, bigger number, a is 12 more than another number, b. In mathematics form, a = 12 + b --(1)

Also, twice the sum of two numbers is four, that is 2( a + b ) = 4 --(2)

We have to determine the values of two numbers. For this, solve the equation (1) and (2). Using the Substitution method,

Substitute, a = 12 + b from equation (1) to equation(2), 2( a + b ) = 4

=> 2( 12 + b + b) = 4

Simplify the expression

=> 24 + 4b = 4

=> 24 - 4 = -4b

=> 4b = - 20

dividing by 4 both sides

=> b = -5

Plugging the value of b = -5, in equation(1)

What is meant by an equation?

A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals sign to represent the equality of two expressions. Two expressions are combined in an equation using an equal symbol ("="). The "left-hand side" and "right-hand side" of the equation are the two expressions on either side of the equals sign. Typically, we consider an equation's right side to be zero. As we can balance this by deducting the right-side expression from both sides' expressions, this won't reduce the generality.

The values of x are constantly increasing by 1.

The difference in values of y are:

-1+2 = 1

0+1 = 1

7-0 = 7

This is not a quadratic equation because the difference of difference in y-values is not constant.

So we can eliminate the options c and d.

Now the sign of the input value is the same as the sign of the output value.

So the x³ term has to be positive.

Consider the equation y = x³ - 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Twin primes are a pair of prime numbers that differ by 2. Let's consider a pair of twin primes, p and p + 2 (where p > 3). We want to prove that the number between them, p + 1, is divisible by 6.

We know that every prime number greater than 3 can be written in the form 6k ± 1 for some integer k. This is because any integer can be written in one of six possible forms: 6k, 6k + 1, 6k + 2, 6k + 3, 6k + 4, or 6k + 5. However, we can eliminate the forms that are divisible by 2 or 3 (except for 2 and 3 themselves), leaving only 6k ± 1 and 6k ± 5. Since twin primes differ by 2, they must both be of the form 6k ± 1.

Let's consider p, the smaller of the twin primes. We know that p is of the form 6k ± 1 for some integer k. If p is of the form 6k + 1, then p + 2 is of the form 6k + 3, which is not prime (since it is divisible by 3). Therefore, p must be of the form 6k - 1. Then, p + 1 is of the form 6k, which means it is divisible by 2 and by 3.

Similarly, if p + 2 is of the form 6k - 1, then p is of the form 6k - 3, which is not prime (since it is divisible by 3). Therefore, p + 2 must be of the form 6k + 1. Then, p + 1 is of the form 6k, which means it is divisible by 2 and by 3.

Therefore, in either case, the number between the twin primes, p + 1, is divisible by 6. We have shown that this is true for any pair of twin primes except for the pair (3, 5).
