Answer:

1.125 and 0.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

It seems that every term is dividing by 2 to get the next term

18/9=2

9/4.5=2

So to find the next terms we just divide the previous term by 2

2.25/2=1.125

1.125/2=0.5625

so the next two terms would be 1.125 and 0.5625

Are 3x²y and -8xy² like terms? How do you know?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3x²y has an x² and -8xy² has a y², they are not like terms. Since they are different terms, you cannot add them together.

Transform the equation to isolate x: ax = bx + 1. How is the value of x related to the difference of a and b?

andrew-mc [135]

For this case we have the following equation:

$ax = bx + 1$

From here, we must clear the value of x.

For this, we follow the following steps:

1) Place the variable on one side of the equation and the constant on the other side of the equation:

$ax - bx = 1$

2) Make common factor x:

$x (a -b) = 1$

3) Clear the value of x:

$x = \frac{1}{a-b}$

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{a-b}$

The relationship between x and the difference of a - b is inversely proportional.

Suppose a random variable X has the following probability density function:f(x)=1/x, 1≤x≤C, or f(x)=0 otherwise a) what must the

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) $C=e^1=e$

b) $P(X$

c) $E(X) =\int_{1}^e x \frac{1}{x} dx =x \Big|_1^e \ =e-1$

$E(X^2) =\int_{1}^e x^2 \frac{1}{x} dx =\frac{x^2}{2} \Big|_1^e \ =\frac{1}{2}(e^2 -1)$

$Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2= \frac{1}{2}(e^2 -1) -(e-1)^2 = 0.242$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) what must the value of C be so that f(x) is a probability density function?

In order to be a probability function we need this condition:

$\int_{1}^C \frac{1}{x} dx =1$

And solving the left part of the integral we have:

$ln(x) \Big|_1^C \ =1$

$ln(C)-ln(1)=1$ , so then $C=e^1=e$

b) find P(X<2)

We can find this probability on this way using the density function:

$P(X$

c) find E(X) and Var(X)

We can find the expected value on this way:

$E(X) =\int_{1}^e x \frac{1}{x} dx =x \Big|_1^e \ =e-1$

In order to find the Var(X) we need to find the second moment given by:

$E(X^2) =\int_{1}^e x^2 \frac{1}{x} dx =\frac{x^2}{2} \Big|_1^e \ =\frac{1}{2}(e^2 -1)$

And now we can use the following definition:

$Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2= \frac{1}{2}(e^2 -1) -(e-1)^2 = 0.242$
