Option a: $\frac{2}{x-2}$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$\frac{5}{x-2} - \frac{3}{x-2}$

As the denominators of both terms are same, the LCM will be x-2

$\frac{5-3}{x-2}$

Subtracting

$\frac{2}{x-2}$

Hence,

Option a: $\frac{2}{x-2}$ is the right answer

Customers arrive at a service facility according to a Poisson process of rate λ customers/hour. Let X(t) be the number of custom

mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

X(t) = be the number of customers that have arrived up to time t.

$W_1,W_2$ ... = the successive arrival times of the customers.

(a)

Then; we can Determine the conditional mean E[W1|X(t)=2] as follows;

$E(W_!|X(t)=2) = \int\limits^t_0 {X} ( \dfrac{d}{dx}P(X(s) \geq 1 |X(t) =2))$

$= 1- P (X(s) \leq 0|X(t) = 2) \\ \\ = 1 - \dfrac{P(X(s) \leq 0 , X(t) =2) }{P(X(t) =2)}$

$= 1 - \dfrac{P(X(s) \leq 0 , 1 \leq X(t)) - X(s) \leq 5 ) }{P(X(t) = 2)}$

$= 1 - \dfrac{P(X(s) \leq 0 ,P((3 \eq X(t)) - X(s) \leq 5 ) }{P(X(t) = 2)}$

Now $P(X(s) \leq 0) = P(X(s) = 0)$

(b) We can Determine the conditional mean E[W3|X(t)=5] as follows;

$E(W_1|X(t) =2 ) = \int\limits^t_0 X (\dfrac{d}{dx}P(X(s) \geq 3 |X(t) =5 )) \\ \\ = 1- P (X(s) \leq 2 | X (t) = 5 ) \\ \\ = 1 - \dfrac{P (X(s) \leq 2, X(t) = 5 }{P(X(t) = 5)} \\ \\ = 1 - \dfrac{P (X(s) \LEQ 2, 3 (t) - X(s) \leq 5 )}{P(X(t) = 2)}$

Now; $P (X(s) \leq 2 ) = P(X(s) = 0 ) + P(X(s) = 1) + P(X(s) = 2)$

So ; the conditional probability density function of $W_2$ given that X(t)=5 is:

$f_{W_2|X(t)=5}}= (W_2|X(t) = 5) \\ \\ =\dfrac{d}{ds}P(W_2 \leq s | X(t) =5 ) \\ \\ = \dfrac{d}{ds}P(X(s) \geq 2 | X(t) = 5)$

How many real roots does the function

icang [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct i.e. 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function is f(x) = x² +8x -2.

We can compare it with general quadratic expression i.e. ax² +bx +c.

Then a = 1, b = 8, c = -2.

We can find the number of real root by finding discriminant of the equation ax² +bx +c =0 as follows:-

D = b² -4ac

D = 8² -4*1*-2

D = 64 +8

D = 72.

When D is a positive value, then we have two real roots of the equation.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. 2.
