Answer:

1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the probability distribution :

X _____ 0 ____1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____4

P(x) _ 0.16 _ 0.41 _ 0.32 __ 0.09 __ 0.02

Expected number of people waiting in line :

E(X) = Σ(x * p(x))

E(X) = (0*0.16) + (1*0.41) + (2*0.32) + (3*0.09) + (4*0.02)

E(X) = 1.4

5^(-x)+7=2x+4 This was on plato
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Below

I hope its not too complicated

x=\frac{\text{W}_0\left(\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}\right)}{\ln \left(5\right)}+\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

5^{\left(-x\right)}+7=2x+4\\\\\mathrm{Prepare}\:5^{\left(-x\right)}+7=2x+4\:\mathrm{for\:Lambert\:form}:\quad 1=\left(2x-3\right)e^{\ln \left(5\right)x}\\\\\mathrm{Rewrite\:the\:equation\:with\:}\\\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\ln \left(5\right)=u\mathrm{\:and\:}x=\frac{u}{\ln \left(5\right)}+\frac{3}{2}\\\\1=\left(2\left(\frac{u}{\ln \left(5\right)}+\frac{3}{2}\right)-3\right)e^{\ln \left(5\right)\left(\frac{u}{\ln \left(5\right)}+\frac{3}{2}\right)}

Simplify\\\\\mathrm{Rewrite}\:1=\frac{2e^{u+\frac{3}{2}\ln \left(5\right)}u}{\ln \left(5\right)}\:\\\\\mathrm{in\:Lambert\:form}:\quad \frac{e^{\frac{2u+3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}u}{e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}=\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:\frac{e^{\frac{2u+3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}u}{e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}=\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}:\quad u=\text{W}_0\left(\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Substitute\:back}\:u=\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\ln \left(5\right),\:\mathrm{solve\:for}\:x

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\ln \left(5\right)=\text{W}_0\left(\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}\right):\\\quad x=\frac{\text{W}_0\left(\frac{\ln \left(5\right)}{2e^{\frac{3\ln \left(5\right)}{2}}}\right)}{\ln \left(5\right)}+\frac{3}{2}

Nostrana [21]
<h3>Answer:  2pi</h3>

2pi radians are equal to 360 degrees. After this point, the function f(x) = sin(x) repeats its values again. Each cycle is 2pi radians long.
