I'm assuming \alpha is the shape parameter and \beta is the scale parameter. Then the PDF is

f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac29xe^{-x^2/9}&\text{for }x\ge0\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

a. The expectation is

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty xf_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^2e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

To compute this integral, recall the definition of the Gamma function,

\Gamma(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t}\,\mathrm dt

For this particular integral, first integrate by parts, taking

u=x\implies\mathrm du=\mathrm dx

\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}

E[X]=\displaystyle-xe^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm x

E[X]=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute x=3y^{1/2}, so that \mathrm dx=\dfrac32y^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dy:

E[X]=\displaystyle\frac32\int_0^\infty y^{-1/2}e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy

\boxed{E[X]=\dfrac32\Gamma\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{3\sqrt\pi}2\approx2.659}

The variance is

\mathrm{Var}[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2-2XE[X]+E[X]^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2

The second moment is

E[X^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^\infty x^3e^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Integrate by parts, taking

u=x^2\implies\mathrm du=2x\,\mathrm dx

\mathrm dv=xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx\implies v=-\dfrac92e^{-x^2/9}

E[X^2]=\displaystyle-x^2e^{-x^2/9}\bigg|_0^\infty+2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

E[X^2]=\displaystyle2\int_0^\infty xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

Substitute x=3y^{1/2} again to get

E[X^2]=\displaystyle9\int_0^\infty e^{-y}\,\mathrm dy=9

Then the variance is

\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-E[X]^2

\boxed{\mathrm{Var}[X]=9-\dfrac94\pi\approx1.931}

b. The probability that X\le3 is

P(X\le 3)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^3f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^3xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx

which can be handled with the same substitution used in part (a). We get

\boxed{P(X\le 3)=\dfrac{e-1}e\approx0.632}

c. Same procedure as in (b). We have

P(1\le X\le3)=P(X\le3)-P(X\le1)

and

P(X\le1)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^1f_X(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac29\int_0^1xe^{-x^2/9}\,\mathrm dx=\frac{e^{1/9}-1}{e^{1/9}}

Then

\boxed{P(1\le X\le3)=\dfrac{e^{8/9}-1}e\approx0.527}

2. Andrew made an error in determining the polynomial equation of smallest degree whose roots are 3, 2+2i and 2-2i.
inna [77]

The polynomial equation for the given roots is x³-7x²+20x-24=0.

Given that, the polynomial equation of the smallest degree whose roots are 3, 2+2i and 2-2i.

Now, we need to write the polynomial equation.

<h3>What is a polynomial equation? </h3>

A polynomial equation is an equation where a polynomial is set equal to zero. i.e., it is an equation formed with variables, non-negative integer exponents, and coefficients together with operations and an equal sign. It has different exponents. The highest one gives the degree of the equation. For an equation to be a polynomial equation, the variable in it should have only non-negative integer exponents. i.e., the exponents of variables should be only non-negative and they should neither be negative nor be fractions.

Now, x=3, x=2+2i and x=2-2i

x-3, x-2-2i and x-2+2i

So, the polynomial equation is (x-3)(x-2-2i)(x-2+2i)=0

⇒(x-3)(x(x-2-2i)-2(x-2-2i)+2i(x-2-2i))=0

⇒(x-3)(x²-2x-2xi-2x+4+4i+2xi-4i-4i²)=0

⇒(x-3)(x²-2x-2x+4-4i²)=0

⇒(x-3)(x²-4x+4+4)=0 (∵i²=-1)

⇒(x-3)(x²-4x+8)=0

⇒x(x²-4x+8)-3(x²-4x+8)=0

⇒x³-4x²+8x-3x²+12x-24=0

⇒x³-7x²+20x-24=0

Therefore, the polynomial equation for the given roots is x³-7x²+20x-24=0.

A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing statement.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x+\frac{b}{2a} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}

Simplify the right side of the equation

we know that

\pm\sqrt{\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

so

The expression is

x+\frac{b}{2a}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

therefore

x plus b over 2 times a equals plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a

Twenty-one fish are swimming in an aquarium. Eleven are removed, leaving 10 fish. Which number is the additive inverse of the nu
agasfer [191]

The additive inverse: The usage of addition with a negative number.

The original equation is 21 - 11 = 10

To use the additive inverse, change it so that there is an addition sign.

21 + (-11) = 10

B) -11 is your answer

hope this helps
