F(2) will equal 37 then plug it in where x is
All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.
That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If
is the component for state
, then you have
which means
. So the state vector is
.
Answer:
$2.85
Step-by-step explanation:
The price Ellen pays can be found using the proportion ...
price/(24 oz) = $1.90/(16 oz)
Multiplying by 24 oz, we get ...
price = $1.90(24/16) = $2.85
Ellen pays $2.85 for the beans.
Answer:
9 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Strategy: first cancel the fraction part of the mixed number, then subtract the remaining fraction from the integer obtained.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = 10 1/2 - 1/2 - 1/4
= 10 -1/4
= 9 3/4
__
Strategy: turn the subtracted fraction into a whole number by adding 1/4 to both parts of the problem, then subtract the whole number.
10 1/2 - 3/4 = (10 1/2 +1/4) -(3/4 +1/4)
= 10 3/4 -1
= 9 3/4
_____
We assume that you know that 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4, or 3/4 -1/2 = 1/4. If you need to, you can get there by using the equivalent: 1/2 = 2/4.
