Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point 0. If Fred is at 1, then on the next step, Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability. If Fred is at 2, then on the next step, Fred always moves to 1. Let e_1 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0, given that Fred starts at the point 1. Similarly, let e_2 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0, given that Fred starts at the point 2. Determine the ordered pair (e_1,e_2). Answer is NOT (2, 3)
Answer:
The ordered pair (e₁, e₂) is (6, 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the pathway attached below.
Consider that Fred is at 1.It is provided that Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability, i.e. 0.50.
e₁ : 1 3 5 7 ...
P (e₁) : 0.50 0.50² 0.50³ 0.50⁴ ...
The expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 if he is at 1 is:
[tex]e_{1}=(1\times 0.50)+(3\times 0.50^{2})+(5\times 0.50^{3})+(7\times 0.50^{4})+...\\\\[/tex]
The sum series e₁ is an AGP.
The sum of infinite AGP is:[tex]\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}[/tex]
Then the value of e₁ is:
[tex]e_{1}=\frac{1}{(1-0.50)}+\frac{2\times 0.50}{(1-0.50)^{2}}\\\\=2+4\\\\=6[/tex]
Consider that Fred is at 2.It is provided that Fred always moves to 1 if he at step 2.
e₂ : 2 4 6 8 ...
P (e₂) : 0.50 0.50² 0.50³ 0.50⁴ ...
The expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 if he is at 2 is:
[tex]e_{2}=(2\times 0.50)+(4\times 0.50^{2})+(6\times 0.50^{3})+(8\times 0.50^{4})+...\\\\[/tex]
The sum series e₂ is an AGP.
The sum of infinite AGP is:[tex]\frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}[/tex]
Then the value of e₂ is:
[tex]e_{1}=\frac{2}{(1-0.50)}+\frac{2\times 0.50}{(1-0.50)^{2}}\\\\=4+4\\\\=8[/tex]
Thus, the ordered pair (e₁, e₂) is (6, 8).
Answer:
(3, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
For e_1, there is first a 1/2 chance that Fred will go to point 0 on the first move, giving us an expected value of 1/2. Similarily, there is 1/4 chance that Fred will go to point 0 on the 3rd move, giving us an expected value of 3/4th moves. We continue, and we see that the expected value for the number of moves is this.
[tex]1/2 + 3/4 + 5/8 + 7/16 + 9/32 + 11/64 ...[/tex]
This equation eventually equals to 3, so e_1 is equal to 3.
For e_2, it's just e_1 + 1, because Fred has to move to point 1 in the first place.

6j + 7 =21 -j pls show work
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6j + 7 = 21 - j
Add 'j' to both sides
6j + 7 + j = 21 - j +j
7j + 7 = 21
Subtract 7 form both sides
7j + 7 - 7 = 21 - 7
7j = 14
Divide both sides by 7
7j/7 = 14/7
j = 2
Answer:
j = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
6j + 7 = 21 - j
6j + j = 21 - 7
7j = 14
j = 14/7
j = 2

The cost of a car is supposed to be no more than 80% of the value for the next year's
model. If a car costs $14,000, what is the cost of the next year's model?
Answer:
x ≥ $17, 500
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost of the next year model, we will follow the steps below;
Let x be the value of next year's model
$14000 ≤ 80% of x
80% of x ≥ $14000
80% × x ≥$14000
80x/100 ≥ $14000
multiply both-side of the equation by 100
80x ≥ $1400000
Divide both-side of the inequality by 80
80x /80 ≥ $1400000 / 80
x ≥ $17, 500
Therefore the cost of next year's model is
x≥$17, 500
The function h = -16t + 240t represents the height h (in feet) of a rocket t seconds after it is launched. The rocket explodes at its highest point. after how many seconds does the rocket explode
The height of the rocket at time t is given by the function h = -16t + 240t. The rocket explodes at its highest point, which occurs at the vertex of the parabolic path described by this function.
The vertex of the parabola h = -16t^2 + 240t can be found using the formula t = -b/2a, where a is the coefficient of the squared term (-16 in this case) and b is the coefficient of the linear term (240 in this case).
In this case, a = -16 and b = 240, so the time t at which the rocket reaches its highest point is:
t = -b / 2a
t = -240 / (2 * -16)
t = -240 / -32
t = 7.5
Therefore, the rocket reaches its highest point 7.5 seconds after it is launched, and it explodes at this point.
Note that the negative value for t obtained in the equation t = -b/2a is ignored in this case, since time cannot be negative.

Answer:
Yes, he has enough money.
Step-by-step explanation:
I found the heaviest healthy weight for the man which is at 84kg. This means he has to lose 14 kg to be healthy.
Take 14kg divided by 0.75 kg/week to find how many weeks of the diet he needs.
13/0.75 = 18.67 = 18 weeks
Take the number of weeks times the number of calories per week
18 x 600 = 10800
Take this number divided by 200 calories per hour to find the total number of hours.
10800/200 = 54 hours
Take this number times the amount of money per hour.
54 x 6 = 324 This number is less than 360

Step-by-step explanation:
For k(x)= (-x- 1)(x^2 + 3x - 1)(x+2), find the derivative of k(x) at the point = -2 using the product rule.
Answer:
The derivative of that product of functions evaluated at the point x=-2 gives "-3"
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the derivative of a product of two functions f(x) and g(x) is given by the formula:
(f*g)'= f' * g+ f * g'[tex](2(-2)+3)\,(-(-2)^2-3(-2)-2)+((-2)^2+3(-2)-1)\,(-2(-2)-3)=[/tex]
So it would be convenient to reduce this product of three functions to a product of just 2, performing (-x-1)*(x+2) = - x^2 - 2x - x -2 = - x^2 -3x -2
therefore we need to find the derivative of x^2 + 3x -1, and the derivative of - x^2 -3x -2 to obtain the answer:
[tex](x^2 + 3x -1)'=2x+3\\ \\(- x^2- 3x -2)'=-2x-3[/tex]
Now, applying the product rule for those two trinomial functions, we get:
[tex](2x+3)\,(-x^2-3x-2)+(x^2+3x-1)\,(-2x-3)[/tex]
which at x = -2 becomes:
[tex](2x+3)\,(-x^2-3x-2)+(x^2+3x-1)\,(-2x-3)\\(2(-2)+3)\,(-(-2)^2-3(-2)-2)+((-2)^2+3(-2)-1)\,(-2(-2)-3)= -3[/tex]

Which best describes the relationship between the lines with equations
Hey there! :)
Answer:
B, they are the same line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by converting each equation to slope-intercept form to make it easier to see the relationship:
-3x - 4y = 1
-4y = 3x + 1
y = -3/4x - 1/4
-------------------
-6x - 8y = 2
-8y = 6x + 2
y = -3/4x - 1/4
The lines are the same. Therefore, B is the correct choice.
