It would have been easier to compute E(B) directly. Denoting the lower of the two amounts by x, and taking it to be fixed (even if unknown) we find that = + = We learn that 1.5x is the expected value of the amount in Envelope B. By the same calculation it is also the expected value of the amount in Envelope A.
As with the octal and hexadecimal numeral systems, quaternary has a special relation to the binary numeral system.Each radix four, eight, and sixteen is a power of two, so the conversion to and from binary is implemented by matching each digit with two, three, or four binary digits, or bits.
1 Bq = 1 s −1. A special name was introduced for the reciprocal second (s −1) to represent radioactivity to avoid potentially dangerous mistakes with prefixes.For example, 1 μs −1 would mean 10 6 disintegrations per second: (10 −6 s) −1 = 10 6 s −1, [4] whereas 1 μBq would mean 1 disintegration per 1 million seconds.
In a similar manner it may be shown that the sum of the first Fibonacci numbers up to the n-th is equal to the (n + 2)-th Fibonacci number minus 1. [34] In symbols: = = + This may be seen by dividing all sequences summing to + based on the location of the first 2.
The prefix 0o also follows the model set by the prefix 0x used for hexadecimal literals in the C language; it is supported by Haskell, [19] OCaml, [20] Python as of version 3.0, [21] Raku, [22] Ruby, [23] Tcl as of version 9, [24] PHP as of version 8.1, [25] Rust [26] and ECMAScript as of ECMAScript 6 [27] (the prefix 0 originally stood for ...
To find P d (x), have a total of x dots composing the target shape. P d (x) then equals the total number of dots in the shape. A 0-dimensional triangle is a point and a 1-dimensional triangle is simply a line, and therefore P 0 (x) = 1 and P 1 (x) = x, which is the sequence of natural numbers. The number of dots in each layer corresponds to P d ...
Moreover, as the derivative of f(x) evaluates to ln(b) b x by the properties of the exponential function, the chain rule implies that the derivative of log b x is given by [35] [37] = . That is, the slope of the tangent touching the graph of the base- b logarithm at the point ( x , log b ( x )) equals 1/( x ln( b )) .
Just as for the trigonometric functions, values of the lemniscate functions can be computed for divisions of the lemniscate into n parts of equal length, using only basic arithmetic and square roots, if and only if n is of the form = where k is a non-negative integer and each p i (if any) is a distinct Fermat prime.
