Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results.
The answer will be 1,2 you have to do 1/4 of the cords which are 4,8
Answer:
a) 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)
b) 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)
c) 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)
d) 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to verify that the f(x) is a probability mass function , then it should comply the requirement that the sum of probabilities over the entire space of x is equal to 1. Then
∑f(x)*Δx = 1
if f(x)=(3/4)(1/4)^x , x = 0, 1, 2, ...
then Δx=1 and
∑f(x) = (3/4)∑(1/4)^x = (3/4)* [ 1/(1-1/4)] = (3/4)*(4/3) = 1
then f represents a probability mass function
a) P(X = 2)= f(x=2) = (3/4)(1/4)^2 = 3/64 = 0.046 (4.6%)
b) P(X ≤ 2) = ∑f(x) = f(x=0)+ f(x=1) + f(x=2) = (3/4) + (3/4)(1/4) + 3/64 = 63/64 = 0.9843 (98.43%)
c) P(X > 2)= 1- P(X ≤ 2) = 1 - 63/64 = 1/64 = 0.015 (1.5%)
d) P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1) = 1 - f(x=0) = 1- 3/4 = 1/4 = 0.25 (25%)
Change that into a mathematical inequality and you get
n>_ -1.5
n is greater than or equal to -1.5
Hope this helps :)
Make into equation
Y = 1/3x - 2
-5 = 1/3(-1) - 2, false
-1 = 1/3(3) - 2, true
