Answer:

$x=55$

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles of two parallel lines are always equal. The angle on "top" of $2x+6$ corresponds with the angle marked as $x+9$ . Therefore, its measure must also be $x+9$ .

Since these two angles form one side of a line which has 180 degrees, we have the following equation:

$2x+6+x+9=180$

Combine like terms:

$3x+15=180$

Subtract 15 from both sides:

$3x=165$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x=\frac{165}{3}=\boxed{55}$

Approximate the stationary matrix S for the transition matrix P by computing powers of the transition matrix P.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

S = [0.2069,0.7931]

Step-by-step explanation:

Transition Matrix:

$P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

Stationary matrix S for the transition matrix P is obtained by computing powers of the transition matrix P ( k powers ) until all the two rows of transition matrix p are equal or identical.

Transition matrix P raised to the power 2 (at k = 2)

$P^{2} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

$P^{2} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2203&0.7797\\0.2034&0.7966\end{array}\right]$

Transition matrix P raised to the power 3 (at k = 3)

$P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

$P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2203&0.7797\\0.2034&0.7966\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

$P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2086&0.7914\\0.2064&0.7936\end{array}\right]$

Transition matrix P raised to the power 4 (at k = 4)

$P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

$P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2086&0.7914\\0.2064&0.7936\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$

$P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2071&0.7929\\0.2068&0.7932\end{array}\right]$

Transition matrix P raised to the power 5 (at k = 5)

$P^{5} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]$
