The transport layer handles the transmission error by requesting the damaged segments to be retransmitted. if the probability of

a segment being damaged is p, what is the mean number of the transmissions required to send a segment? you can assume the acknowledgements are never lost for solving this question.

The geometric distribution applies to experiments employing Bernoulli trials (success or failure) to determine the number of trials to obtain the first success.
This distribution may be applied to the given situation, where the probability of success is p.
Let n=number of transmissions required  (n ≥ 1)Then
P(n)=(1-p)^(n-1)*p   (probability that n transmissions are required)
and the mean number of transmissions required
μ = 1/p

What is the following sum? Assume x greater-than-or-equal-to 0 and y greater-than-or-equal-to 0
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}

Hence, ption B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}

solving the expression

\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}

as

\sqrt{x^2y^3}=xy\sqrt{y}

2\sqrt{x^3y^4}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}

so the expression becomes

\:\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=xy\sqrt{y}+2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}

Group like terms

                                        =2xy^2\sqrt{x}+xy\sqrt{y}+xy\sqrt{y}

Add similar elements

                                        =2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}

Therefore, we conclude that:

\sqrt{x^2y^3}+2\sqrt{x^3y^4}+xy\sqrt{y}=2xy^2\sqrt{x}+2xy\sqrt{y}

Hence, option B is true.

Two kinds of crated cargo, A and B, are to be shipped by truck. Each crate of cargo A is 50 cubic feet in volume and weighs 200
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b)

50a+10b<1000; 200a+360b < 7200; a> 0; b>0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Two kind of crated cargo namely A and B to be shipped by truck.

<u>Cargo A:</u>

Volume of each crate of cargo A = 50 cubic ft

Weight of each crate of cargo A = 200 pounds

Let number of crates of cargo A to be shipped = a

Total volume of 'a' crates of cargo A = 50a cubic ft

Total weight of 'a' crates of cargo A = 200a pounds

<u>Cargo B:</u>

Volume of each crate of cargo B = 10 cubic ft

Weight of each crate of cargo B = 360 pounds

Let number of crates of cargo B to be shipped = b

Total volume of 'b' crates of cargo B = 10b cubic ft

Total weight of 'b' crates of cargo B = 360b

Total volume allowed in the truck is 1000 cubic ft

Total volume of 'a' crates of Cargo A and Total volume of 'b' crates of Cargo B = 50a+10b cubic ft (This sum should be less than volume of truck so that it can fit in the truck)

So, the inequality becomes

50a+10b ....... (1)

Total weight allowed (load limit) in the truck is 7200 pounds

Total weight of 'a' crates of Cargo A and Total weight of 'b' crates of Cargo B = 200a+360b cubic ft (This sum should be less than volume of truck so that it can fit in the truck)

So, the inequality becomes

200a+360b ....... (1)

And number of crates of cargo A and B are always a positive number.

So, a > 0 and b > 0.

So, the correct answer is option b.

<em>b. 50a+10b<1000; 200a+360b < 7200; a> 0; b>0</em>

Find the polynomial function
laiz [17]

Answer:

y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial correlation function of a graphing calculator can work with the table of function values to give you the equation. (See attached)

_____

If you want to solve this by hand, you can write the equations for the unknown coefficients in the polynomial function, then solve those. First of all, notice that you are given the y-intercept, (0, 6), so you know one of the coefficients already. That leaves a system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns that need to be solved.

___

<em>Writing the equations</em>

... ax³ +bx² +cx +6 = y . . . . the generic linear equation in a, b, c that you're writing

For x = -1:

... -a +b -c +6 = 8

For x = 1

... a + b + c + 6 = 6

For x = 2

... 8a +4b +2c +6 = 20

In augmented matrix terms, this set of linear equations looks like ...

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-1&1&-1&2\\1&1&1&0\\8&4&2&14\end{array}\right]

___

<em>Solving the equations</em>

There are a number of ways to solve these. Again, a graphing calculator often has solution functions, such as reducing a matrix to row-echelon form, that will solve this in a keystroke or two.

If you add the first two equations, you get ...

... 2b = 2 ⇒ b = 1

Substituting that into the first equation allows you to simplify it to ...

... -a -c = 1

Dividing the third equation by 2 (and substituting for b) makes it ...

... 4a +c = 5

Adding these equations gives ...

... 3a = 6 ⇒ a = 2

Then ...

... c = -a -1 = -2 -1 = -3

And our polynomial function is ...

... y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

Describe why you can change a subtraction problem into an addition problem
Elena-2011 [213]
A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.
