Change the form of the given function y=-2(x-8)^2+128 to the form of y=ax^2+bx+c using order of operations on the given function.

Express in the simplest form: (x^2+9x+14/x^2-49) / (3x+6/x^2+x-56)

Marcus and cody both leave the park at the same time, but in opposite directions. if cody travels 6 mph faster than marcus and after 4 hours they are 64 miles apart, how fast is each traveling? solve using rare times time = distance.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
