Given:
The function is
To find:
The asymptotes and zero of the function.
Solution:
We have,
For zeroes, f(x)=0.
Therefore, zero of the function is 0.
For vertical asymptote equate the denominator of the function equal to 0.
Taking square root on both sides, we get
So, vertical asymptotes are x=-4 and x=4.
Since degree of denominator is greater than degree of numerator, therefore, the horizontal asymptote is y=0.
If I did the math correctly I’d should be -5 or rewritten as -5/1.
Answer:
(a) E(X) = -2p² + 2p + 2; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
(b) 6p⁴ - 12p³ + 3p² + 3p + 3; d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 is less than 0
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) when i = 2, the expected number of played games will be:
E(X) = 2[p² + (1-p)²] + 3[2p² (1-p) + 2p(1-p)²] = 2[p²+1-2p+p²] + 3[2p²-2p³+2p(1-2p+p²)] = 2[2p²-2p+1] + 3[2p² - 2p³+2p-4p²+2p³] = 4p²-4p+2-6p²+6p = -2p²+2p+2.
If p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) = d/dp (-4p + 2) = -4 which is less than 0. Therefore, the E(X) is maximized.
(b) when i = 3;
E(X) = 3[p³ + (1-p)³] + 4[3p³(1-p) + 3p(1-p)³] + 5[6p³(1-p)² + 6p²(1-p)³]
Simplification and rearrangement lead to:
E(X) = 6p⁴-12p³+3p²+3p+3
if p = 1/2, then:
d²/dp² E(X) at p = 1/2 = d/dp (24p³-36p²+6p+3) = 72p²-72p+6 = 72(1/2)² - 72(1/2) +6 = 18 - 36 +8 = -10
Therefore, E(X) is maximized.
Answer:
6/21.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the rational number be 2x/7x.
2x + 4 / 7x - 2 = 10 /19
Cross multiply:
19(2x + 4) = 10(7x - 2)
38x + 76 = 70x - 20
96 = 70x - 38x
32x = 96
x = 3.
So the rational number is 2*3/ 7*3
= 6/21.
