7/16 = 3.5/8

3.5/8 * 3/3 = 10.5/24

P(k)=a^k=2 3 4 find value of a that makes this is a valid probability distribution

Vesna [10]

Sounds like you're asked to find $a$ such that

$\displaystyle\sum_{k=2}^4\mathbb P(k)=\mathbb P(2)+\mathbb P(3)+\mathbb P(4)=1$

In other words, find $a$ that satisfies

$a^2+a^3+a^4=1$

We can factorize this as

$a^4+a^3+a^2-1=a^3(a+1)+(a-1)(a+1)=(a+1)(a^3+a-1)=0$

In order that $\mathbb P(k)$ describes a probability distribution, require that $\mathbb P(k)\ge0$ for all $k$ , which means we can ignore the possibility of $a=-1$ .

Let $a=y+\dfrac xy$ .

$a^3+a-1=\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)^3+\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)-1=0$
$\left(y^3+3xy+\dfrac{3x^2}y+\dfrac{x^3}{y^3}\right)+\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)-1=0$

Multiply both sides by $y^3$ .

$y^6+3xy^4+3x^2y^2+x^3+y^4+xy^2-y^3=0$

We want to find $x\neq0$ that removes the quartic and quadratic terms from the equation, i.e.

$\begin{cases}3x+1=0\\3x^2+x=0\end{cases}\implies x=-\dfrac13$

so the cubic above transforms to

$y^6-y^3-\dfrac1{27}=0$

Substitute $y^3=z$ and we get

$z^2-z-\dfrac1{27}=0\implies z=\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}$
$\implies y=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}}$
$\implies a=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}}-\dfrac13\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{18}{9+\sqrt{93}}}$

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (5, 5) and is PARALLEL to a line with a slope of 1/4. Include all of

lesya692 [45]

Parallel lines will have the same slope

y - y1 = m(x - 1)
slope(m) = 1/4
(5,5)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 5
now we sub
y - 5 = 1/4(x - 5) <==== ur parallel line
==================
perpendiculr lines will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the number and change the sign. So the negative reciprocal of 1/4 is -4....see how I flipped 1/4 and made it 4/1...then changed the sign making it -4/1 or just -4. That will be ur slope of the perpendicular line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -4
(5,5)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 5
now we sub
y - 5 = -4(x - 5) <=== ur perpendicular line
