What is the conditional probability that exactly four heads appear when a fair coin is flipped five times, given that the first

flip came up heads?.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

wow,  they really try to make these probablity questions difficult.  so they say 5 but really,  b/c the 1st one is heads ,  we are tossing the coin 4 more times, to find 3 heads b/c we already got one.    wow,  I'm mad at the teacher that asked this.  :P   Just say 4 flips for 3 heads.

P(H) = heads

P(H) =1/2^{4}   probability is 1/2^{4} because we have two outcomes and four tries.

P(H) = 1/16

P(H>=3)  3 * 1/16

P(H>=3) = 3/16

if there is an argument that you have to take 1/2^{5} into account by the teacher tell them that it was already resolved ,  the first flip is not a "probablity" any longer.  It's heads,  100%  ,  it doesn't affect the next tosses b/c this is a "fair" coin and it's going to land on heads  50% of the time, for every toss.   Just my rant.  :P

Use integration by parts to derive the following formula from the table of integrals.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

I= (x^n)*(e^ax) /a - n/a ∫ (e^ax) *x^(n-1) dx +C (for a≠0)

Step-by-step explanation:

for

I= ∫x^n . e^ax dx

then using integration by parts we can define u and dv such that

I= ∫(x^n) . (e^ax dx) = ∫u . dv

where

u= x^n → du = n*x^(n-1) dx

dv= e^ax  dx→ v = ∫e^ax dx = (e^ax) /a ( for a≠0 .when a=0 , v=∫1 dx= x)

then we know that

I= ∫u . dv = u*v - ∫v . du + C

( since d(u*v) = u*dv + v*du → u*dv = d(u*v) - v*du → ∫u*dv = ∫(d(u*v) - v*du) =

(u*v) - ∫v*du + C )

therefore

I= ∫u . dv = u*v - ∫v . du + C = (x^n)*(e^ax) /a - ∫ (e^ax) /a * n*x^(n-1) dx +C = = (x^n)*(e^ax) /a - n/a ∫ (e^ax) *x^(n-1) dx +C

I= (x^n)*(e^ax) /a - n/a ∫ (e^ax) *x^(n-1) dx +C (for a≠0)

How does difference of squares work?
kodGreya [7K]

Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results. Step 3: Determine if the remaining factors can be factored any further.

A man wishes to have a rectangular shaped garden in his backyard. He has 84 feet of fencing with which to enclose his garden. a)
notka56 [123]

Answer:

84=2l+2w

w=21

Step-by-step explanation:

84=2(l+w)

42=l+w

l=42-w

Area=l×w

A=(42-w)×w

Differentiate A=42w-w×w

with respective to "w".

dA/dw= 42-2w

For a minimum or maximum area

dA/dw=0

then, 42-2w=0

w=21

proving "A" is maximum when "w=21"

dA/dw>0 when w<21

dA/dw<0 when w>21

Therefore Area is maximum when "w=21"
