The product of a number and 4 increased by 16 is -2

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is -4.5

To solve these types of problems it's best to work backwards.
-2 - 16 = -18
4 x (n) = -18
n = -18/4
n = -4.5

Which equation represents the polynomial function with zeros –3, 1, and 2, and a y-intercept of –12?

storchak [24]

To generate the equation we set up the factors
(x+3) * (x-1) * (x-2) which equals
x^2 + 2x -3 * (x-2)
x^3 +2x^2 -3x -2x^2 -4x +6 equals
x^3 -3x -4x +6 which equals

x^3 -7x +6

Let P = 0.50.30.50.7 be the transition matrix for a Markov chain with two states. Let x0 = 0.50.5 be the initial state vector fo

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Probability distribution vector = $\left(\begin{array}{c}0.375\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$

Step-By-Step Explanation

If $P=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0.5&0.3\\ 0.5&0.7 \end{array} \right)$ is the transition matrix for a Markov chain with two states.

$x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.5\\ 0.5 \end{array} \right)$ be the initial state vector for the population.

$X_{1}=P x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0.5&0.3\\ 0.5&0.7 \end{array} \right) \left(\begin{array}{c}0.5\\ 0.5 \end{array} \right) =\left(\begin{array}{c}0.4\\ 0.6 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{2}=P^{2} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.38\\ 0.62 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{3}=P^{3} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.38\\ 0.62 \end{array} \right)$

$X_{30}=P^{30} x_{0}=\left(\begin{array}{c}0.37499\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$

In the long run, the probability distribution vector Xm approaches the probability distribution vector $\left(\begin{array}{c}0.375\\ 0.625 \end{array} \right)$ .

This is called the steady-state (or limiting,) distribution vector.
