Answer: Option E is the correct answer; (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (3 head) = P(first and 3 heads) + P(second coin and 3 heads)

= (1/2)×1³ + (1/2)× p³ = (1/2) × (1 + p³)

therefore P(first coin given 3 heads) = (1/2)×1³/ ((1/2)×(1 + p³))

= 1 / (1 + p³)

Also P( second coin given 3 heads) = p³ /(1 + p³)

therefore P(4th toss in heads given first 3 are heads)  will be;

= P(first and 4th toss heads) + P(second and 4th toss heads)

=(1/( 1 + p³ )) × 1 + p³ / (1+p³) × p

= (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Therefore Option E is the correct answer

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$576.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Juárez opened a savings account with an initial deposit of $560 and will not make any additional deposits or withdrawals. The account earns 1% simple interest.

We are asked to find the total amount that Mr. Juárez will have in his account at the end of 3 years.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

A=P (1+rt)

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

Let us convert 1% into decimal form,

1%=1/100=0.01

P=$560 and t=3

A=$560 (1+0.01(3))

A=$560 (1+0.03)

A= $560 (1.03)

A= $576.80

Therefore, Mr. Juárez will have $576. 80 in his account at the end of 3 years. Hope this helps!

It is 170 miles from Bruce's house to the city where his brother lives. On his last trip to visit his brother, he drove for 2 ho
Rom4ik [11]

Speed of Bruce for the rest of the trip is 30 miles/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Total distance = 170 miles. In the trip Bruce's speed = 55 miles/hour. So, in 1 hour, distance covered = 55 miles. Find distance covered in 2 hours and the distance of the last part.

Distance covered in 2 hours = 2 × 55 = 110 miles

Remaining part of the trip = 170 - 110 = 60 miles

  • Step 2: Find the speed of Bruce in the remaining part of the trip when time = 2 hours and distance = 60 miles.

Speed = Distance/Time = 60/2 = 30 miles/hour

Please help me-<br> f(x) = x2. What is g(x)?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

D. g(x) = 3·x²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parent function, f(x) = x²

The graph of the function, g(x) is narrower than the graph of the function f(x)

Therefore, the coefficient of the quadratic function is larger than 1

The given point on the parabola, g(x) = (1, 3)

Therefore. when x = 1, g(x) = 3

However, when x = 1, f(x) = 1

Therefore, given that g(x) = a·f(x), we get;

a = g(x)/(f(x)) = 3/1 = 3

g(x) = 3·x²
