Hi!

Let's put the value of x into the equation.

f(-2) = $9^{-2}$
solve
f(-2) = 0.012345679

Now let's see if this is equal to any of the answers.

1/81 = 0.012345679 correct
81 = 0.012345679 wrong
1/18 = 0.012345679 wrong
18 = 0.012345679 wrong

The answer is A. 1/81

Hope this helps! :)

The answer is A, $\frac{1}{81}$ . This is because when plugging in -2 for x, the expression will look like this: $9^{-2}$ . To make the exponent positive, you have to flip it into a fraction. Then it will be $\frac{1}{9^2}$ . Lastly, you simplify the denominator into 81.

A source of information randomly generates symbols from a four letter alphabet {w, x, y, z }. The probability of each symbol is

koban [17]

The expected length of code for one encoded symbol is

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha\ell_\alpha$

where $p_\alpha$ is the probability of picking the letter $\alpha$ , and $\ell_\alpha$ is the length of code needed to encode $\alpha$ . $p_\alpha$ is given to us, and we have

$\begin{cases}\ell_w=1\\\ell_x=2\\\ell_y=\ell_z=3\end{cases}$

so that we expect a contribution of

$\dfrac12+\dfrac24+\dfrac{2\cdot3}8=\dfrac{11}8=1.375$

bits to the code per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would then expect $E[L]=1.375n$ .

By definition of variance, we have

$\mathrm{Var}[L]=E\left[(L-E[L])^2\right]=E[L^2]-E[L]^2$

For a string consisting of one letter, we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha{\ell_\alpha}^2=\dfrac12+\dfrac{2^2}4+\dfrac{2\cdot3^2}8=\dfrac{15}4$

so that the variance for the length such a string is

$\dfrac{15}4-\left(\dfrac{11}8\right)^2=\dfrac{119}{64}\approx1.859$

"squared" bits per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would get $\mathrm{Var}[L]=1.859n$ .
