Answer: 13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Based upon the previous sequence.

1.there is a constant decrease of two in the numerator

2. There is a constant increase of one in the denominator

to find the fourth number in the sequence I used One of the numbers from the previous to determine the answer.

17/4 — —> then I followed the pattern and determine what fraction 3 was . . before it was converted into a whole number.

which would be 15/5 —> Now considering equations that are written like this also mean division, because in this case division is possible the answer would be 3, which would make the whole number 3 instead of 15/3. considering it was an improper fraction.

____________________________________________________________

Now If 15/5 wasn’t converted into 3, The answer to the sequence would be 13/6. If you follow the pattern like I said before there is a certain amount of increase and decrease so 13/6 will be your answer. The only reason is not a whole number because 13 can’t be divided by six to get a whole number.

Given the following discrete uniform probability distribution, find the expected value and standard deviation of the random vari

katovenus [111]

The expected value is

$E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xx\,P(X=x)=\frac1{11}\sum_{x=0}^{10}x=\dfrac{0+1+\cdots+9+10}{11}=\dfrac{55}{11}=\boxed{5}$

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which is

$V[X]=E[(X-E[X])^2]=E[X^2]-E[X]^2$

where

$E[X^2]=\displaystyle\sum_xx^2\,P(X=x)=\frac1{11}\sum_{x=0}^{10}x^2=\dfrac{0^2+1^2+\cdots+9^2+10^2}{11}=\dfrac{385}{11}=35$

so that

$V[X]=35-5^2=10$

making the standard deviation

$\sqrt{V[X]}=\sqrt{10}\approx\boxed{3.16}$

Which statement is true about the equation f(x)=g(x) given f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x^2? please help

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

x=3 and x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x)=g(x), then 2x+3=x^2:

x^2-2x-3=0

(x-3)(x+1)=0

x=3 and x=-1

Solve 2-6(1-x)=6-4(-x-2) for x

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2 + -6(1 + -1x) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

2 + (1 * -6 + -1x * -6) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

2 + (-6 + 6x) = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

Combine like terms: 2 + -6 = -4

-4 + 6x = 6 + -4(-1x + -2)

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 6x = 6 + -4(-2 + -1x)

-4 + 6x = 6 + (-2 * -4 + -1x * -4)

-4 + 6x = 6 + (8 + 4x)

Combine like terms: 6 + 8 = 14

-4 + 6x = 14 + 4x

Solving

-4 + 6x = 14 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 6x + -4x = 14 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

-4 + 2x = 14 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-4 + 2x = 14 + 0

-4 + 2x = 14

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 2x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 2x = 14 + 4

2x = 14 + 4

Combine like terms: 14 + 4 = 18

2x = 18

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 9

Simplifying

x = 9
