Answer:

E (Y) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 4-sided die is being rolled repeatedly; and the odd-numbered rolls (1st 3rd,5th, etc.)

The probability of odd number roll will be, p(T) = \frac{1}{2}

However, on your even-numbered rolls, you are victorious if you get a 3 or 4. Also, the  probability of even number roll, p(U) = \frac{1}{2}

In order to  calculate: E (Y); We can say Y to be the number of times you roll.

We know that;

E (Y) = E ( Y|T ) p(T) + E ( Y|U ) p(U)

Let us calculate E ( Y|T ) and E ( Y|U )

Y|T ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{4}

Y|U ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{2}

also; x ≅ geometric (p)

∴ E (x) = \frac{1}{p}

⇒ \frac{Y}{T} = 4 ; also \frac{Y}{U} = 2

E (Y) = 4 × \frac{1}{2} + 2 ×

        = 2+1

E (Y) = 3

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function f(x)=x^3+2x^2-16x-32
GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

f ( 4 ) = 64 + 32 - 64 - 32 = 0

Thus x - 4 is a factor

Find other factors by synthetic division.

"""""""|1"""""2""""- 16"""""-32

"""""4|"""""""4""""""24""""""32

"""""""|1"""""6"" """""8""""""0

( x - 4 ) ( x ² + 6x + 8 ) = 0

( x - 4 ) ( x + 4 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0

x = - 2 , x = - 4, x = 4
