The sum = 50 + 50 * 1.04 + 50 * 1.04²

= 50 * 1.04⁰ + 50 * 1.04 + 50 * 1.04²

Which is agree with ∑ 50 (1.04)^(n-1)

The correct answer is the first picture.

Suppose we roll a fair die and let X represent the number on the die. (a) Find the moment generating function of X. (b) Use the

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

(a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{2 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Step-by step explanation:

Given X represents the number on die.

The possible outcomes of X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

For a fair die, $P(X)=\frac{1}{6}$

(a) Moment generating function can be written as $M_{x}(t)$ .

$M_x(t)=\sum_{x=1}^{6} P(X=x)$

$M_{x}(t)=\frac{1}{6} e^{t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{2 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{3 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{4 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{5 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{6 t}$

$M_x(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$

(b) Now, find $E(X) \text { and } E\((X^{2})$ using moment generating function

$M^{\prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+2 e^{2 t}+3 e^{3 t}+4 e^{4 t}+5 e^{5 t}+6 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+2+3+4+5+6)$

$\Rightarrow E(X)=\frac{21}{6}$

$M^{\prime \prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+4 e^{2 t}+9 e^{3 t}+16 e^{4 t}+25 e^{5 t}+36 e^{6 t}\right)$

$M^{\prime \prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+4+9+16+25+36)$

$\Rightarrow E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Hence, (a) moment generating function for X is $\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)$ .

(b) $\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}$

Solve 3sinx-4sin^3 x= -1

postnew [5]

Hello,

Since 3sin x-4sin^3x=sin (3x) (*****)
3sin x-4sin^3x=-1
==>sin (3x)=-1
==>3x=3π/2 +2kπ
==>x=π/2+2kπ/3, k being an integer

(*****)
sin (3x)=sin(x+2x)=sin x cos2x+cos x sin 2x
=sin x(cos²x-sin²x)+2cos²x sin x
=sin x(cos²x+2cos²x-sin²x)
=sinx(3(1-sin²x)-sin²x)
=3sin x-4sin^3x
