The steps below are presented in order to arrive to the value of k of the given equation.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by the variable k since the left-hand side of the equation has it in the denominator. This will be,
(k + 12/ k)(k) = 8(k)

Then, we simplify,
k + 12 = 8k
We then, subtract 8k to both sides of the equation,
k - 8k + 12 = 8k - 8k

Simplifying,
-7k + 12 = 0

Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation and divide both sides by -7. This will us the final answer of,
k = 12/7

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Order of operations was not used correctly, Do what is inside the parenthesis first. So use the distributive property first and not subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

6-4(3-6x)+12x

6-12+24x+12x
-6+24x+12x
-6+36x or 36x-6

Show that if X is a geometric random variable with parameter p, then

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:

$E(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}$

Lets consider the following series:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b^{k-1}$

And let's assume that this series is a power series with b a number between (0,1). If we apply integration of this series we have this:

$\int_{0}^b \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \int_{0}^b r^{k-1} dt=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^k}{k}$ (a)

On the last step we assume that $0\leq r\leq b$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\frac{1}{1-r}$ , then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:
