Xup Agent of change.Pls which textbook can i get solution to a 4 by 4 matrix.

(12345678*12345678)-(12345676*12345680)

[quote author=Tpappie post=31244609][/quote]

Let 12345678 = w
The question can be written as
w*w - (w - 2)(w + 2)
w*w - (w*w - 4)
w*w - w*w + 4
4

We know little about this Greek mathematician from Alexandria, called the father of algebra, except that he lived around 3rd century A.D. Thanks to an admirer of his, who described his life by means of an algebraic riddle, we know at least something about his life.
Diophantus's youth lasted 1/6 of his life. He had his first beard in the next 1/12 of his life. At the end of the following 1/7 of his life Diophantus got married. Five years from then his son was born. His son lived exactly 1/2 of Diophantus's life. Diophantus died 4 years after the death of his son. How long did Diophantus live?

This sums up Diophantis's time line, so, let's dig in;

1/6(x)+1/12(x)+1/7(x)+5+1/2(x)+4=x

(x)-75/84(x)=9
9/84(x)=9
x=84 years

I jumped simple steps as I am typing on phone.

let y = x^x
take 1n of both sides
1n y = 1n x^x
1n y = x 1n x
[dy/dx][1/y] = 1 + 1n x
dy/dx = y [1 + 1nx]
dy/dx = x^x [1 + 1nx].
Note: 1n also means log to base e.

hmm u try bro , but not it . d guy said nth derivative & not first derivative .

have u heard of Leibniz's theorem .?

For a given random variable say X

moment generating function , (mgf)

for discrete case , having some density function , f(x)


mgf , m(t) = E[etx ] = £ etx * f(x) .


(£ : represents sigma. for summation )

& for continuous case ,

m(t)= $ etx *f(x) dx

over some given range space of X

($: represents integral sign ) .

bring up questions on it for more clarity & comprehension.

OK

here

given f(x) = u(x)v(x) ,

fn (x) = £ nCr * u(r) *v(n-r)

for r=1 , 2 , 3 , . . . , n

(£ : represents sigma notation used for summation

C: represents Combination

u& v are functions of x

that's it , hope u get ?

OK recheck the question/options.

sure its correct ?

cus. m getting k=20 .

Yes you're right!

The options are all wrong!

α = 4 and α + 1 = 5

Which makes the equation => x2 + 9x + 20

And K = 20
