The simplified form of the expression $8a+4b-3a+5b$ is $\boxed{5a+9b}$ .

Further explanation:

The given expression is $8a+4b-3a+5b$ .

The given expression consists of $2$ different variables $a$ and $b$ . These variables can take any values since, its value is not fixed.

An algebraic expressions are formed if different variables and are added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.

The given expression is obtained when the variable $a$ and variable $b$ is added and subtracted with multiplication with different integers.

In the given expression there are $4$ terms with each term having different coefficients.

Like terms in the given expression are those whose algebraic factors are same that is $8a$ and $-3a$ are like terms and $4b$ and $5b$ are like terms.

The given expression is a binomial since, it have two unlike terms.

To simplify the given expression first we have to identify the like and unlike terms.

The like terms are $8a$ and $-3a$ and other set of like terms are $4b$ and $5b$

Since, $a$ and $b$ are variable and they are numbers they can be added or subtracted using distributive property.

$8a$ and $-3a$ are subtracted as follows:

$\begin{aligned}8a-3b&=(8\cdot a)-(3\cdot a)\\&=(8-3)\cdot a\\&=5\cdot a\\&=5a\end{aligned}$

$4b$ and $5b$ are added as follows:

$\begin{aligned}4b+5b&=(4\cdot b)+(5\cdot b)\\&=(4+5)\cdot b\\&=9\cdot b\\&=9b\end{aligned}$

Therefore, simplified form of the given expression is $5a+9b$ since both are positive terms.

Thus, the simplified form of the expression $8a+4b-3a+5b$ is $\boxed{5a+9b}$ .

Differentiate y=x⁴(1-2x⁵)⁶(5-8x³)².

Liula [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y(x)=f(x)g(x)h(x)$ where

$f(x) = x^4$

$g(x)= (1 -2x^5)^6$

$h(x)= (5 - 8x^3)^2$

so that

$y(x) = x^4(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2$

Recall that the derivative of the product of functions is

$y'(x)=f'(x)g(x)h(x)+f(x)g'(x)h(x)+f(x)g(x)h'(x)$

so taking the derivatives of the individual functions, we get

$f'(x) = 4x^3$

$g'(x) = 6(1 - 2x^5)^5(-10x^4)$

$h'(x) = 2(5 - 8x^3)(-24x^2)$

So the derivative of y(x) is given by

$y'(x) = 4x^3(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2 + x^4 6(1 -2x^5)^5(-10x^4)(5 - 8x^3)^2 + x^4(1 -2x^5)^6 2(5 - 8x^3)(-24x^2)$

$y'(x) = 4x^3(1 -2x^5)^6(5 - 8x^3)^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:- 60x^8(1 -2x^5)^5(5 - 8x^3)^2$

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-ma

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

Spam e-mail containing a virus is sent to 1000 e-mail addresses. After 1 second, a recipient machine broadcasts 10 new spam e-mails containing the same virus, after which the virus disables itself on that machine. (1) Write a recursive definition (i.e. recurrence relation) to show how many spam emails will be sent out after n seconds. (2) Solve the recurrence relation. (3) How many e-mails are sent at the end of 20 seconds

1.START T=0.....

1000 EMAILS SENT AND RECEIVED BY 1000 M/CS.

T=1.....

EACH OF THE M/C SENDS 10 NEW MAILS ....

.................................

LET M[N] BE THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT OUT AFTER N SECONDS.

SO , EACH OF THESE M/CS WILL SEND 10 MAILS IN NEXT 1 SECOND.

HENCE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT IN N+1 SECONDS=M[N+1]=

M[N+1]=10*M[N].......................1

THIS IS THE RECURRENCE RELATION.....

2.SOLUTION .....

M[N+1]=10M[N]=10*10M[N-1]=10*10*10M[N-2]=........

M(N+1)=[10^1][M(N)]=[10^2][M(N-1)]=[10^3][M(N-2)]=..........=[10^N][M(1)]=[10^(N+1)][M(0)]

M[N+1]=[10^(N+1)][1000]=[10^(N+1)][10^3]=[10^(N+4)]......................................2

THIS IS THE NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N+1 SECONDS .....OR ....

M[N]=[10^(N+3)].............................................3

..................IS THE SOLUTION FOR NUMBER OF MAILS SENT AFTER N SECONDS.....

3.AFTER N=20 SECONDS , THE ANSWER IS ....

M[20]=10^(20+3)=10^23

g: Consider the following game. A coin is flipped. If it lands tails we stop playing and winnothing. If it lands heads we spin a

galben [10]

Answer:

E[W] = $25 (assuming the currency is in dollars)

Var(W) = 1041.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning first starts with the coin toss.

For a win, the coin needs to land on heads.

Probability of that = 1/2 = 0.5

Then probability of winning any amount = 1/100 = 0.01

Total probability of winning any amount = 0.5 × 0.01 = 0.005

But expected value is given by

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

where xᵢ is each amount that could be won

pᵢ is the probability of each amount to be won and it is the same for all the possible winnings = 0.005

So,

E(W) = Σ 0.005 xᵢ

Summing from 0 to 100 (0 indicating getting a tail from the coin toss). This could be done with dome faster with an integral sign

E(W) = ∫ 0.005 x dx

Integrating from 0 to 100

E(W) = [0.005 x²/2]¹⁰⁰₀

E(W) = [0.0025 x²]¹⁰⁰₀ = 0.0025(100² - 0²) = 0.0025 × 10000 = $25

Variance is given by

Variance = Var(X) = Σxᵢ²pᵢ − μ²

μ = expected value

We calculate the expression, Σxᵢ²pᵢ which is another sum from 0 to 100

Σxᵢ²pᵢ = Σ 0.005xᵢ²

Σ 0.005 xᵢ² = ∫ 0.005 x² dx

Integrating from 0 to 100

∫ 0.005 x² dx = [0.005 x³/3]¹⁰⁰₀ = [0.1667x³]¹⁰⁰₀ = 0.1667(100³ - 0³) = 1666.67

Var(W) = 1666.67 - 25² = 1666.67 - 625 = 1041.67.
