Complete question is;

Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point 0

If Fred is at 1 then on the next step, Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability. If Fred is at 2 then on the next step, Fred always moves to 1

Let e1 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 1. Similarly, let e2 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 2

Determine the ordered pair (e1, e2)

Answer:

(e_1,e_2) = (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can track the probabilities using the scenario that Ant gets to 0 after 1 steps, 2 steps, 3 steps, 4 steps, 5 steps and so on.

This gives us e_1 = 1(1/2^(1)) + 2(1/2²) + 3(1/2³) + 4(1/2⁴) + ...

By arithmetico-geometric series, which is given by;

S_(∞) = [a/(1 - r)] + dr/(1 - r)²

From the online calculator, i got;

e_1 = 2

Similarly, e_2 = 2(1/2^(1)) + 3(1/2²) + 4(1/2³) + 5(1/2⁴) + ...

By arithmetico-geometric series, e_2 = 3,

Thus, (e_1,e_2) = (2,3).

Find the volume of the solid that lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x = pi/4 and x = 5pi/4. The cross-sections
svp [43]

Answer:

The volume of the solid = π²

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data of the questions,

The diameter of each disk is  

D = 2 sin(x) - 2 cos(x)

So its radius is

R = sin(x) - cos(x).

The area of each disk is

= \pi \times(sinx-cosx)^{2}

= \pi \times [sin^{2}(x) - 2 sin(x) cos(x) + cos^{2}(x)]

= \pi[1-2sin(x)cos(x)]

= \pi[1-sin(2x)]

Now,

Integrate from x=\frac{\pi}{4}\ \ \ to\ \ \ x=\frac{5\pi}{4}, we get volume:

V=\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{5\pi}{4}} \pi[1-sin(2x)]dx

After integrate without limit we get

V=\pi[x+\frac{cos2x}{2}]

Now after putting the limit, we get

 V = π²

Hence, the required volume of the solid = π²

An Olympic gold medal has the diameter is 8 cm what is is area
denis23 [38]
The area is 50.24 cm.
The formula is π·r^2.
The radius is 4 cm, and you square it. 16 cm.
Then you multiply 16 by 3.14 (π). And you get 50.24 cm as the area.

Help please I do not know how to do this
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

0 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x + h), then by the Remainder theorem

The remainder is the value of P(- h)

(1)

For P(x) divided by (x - 1) , then the remainder is P(1) = 0

(2)

For P(x) divided by (x + 2) then the remainder is P(- 2) = 1
