    MHB How Do You Calculate Long-Term Proportions in a Markov Chain?

    Not really sure how to get started on this one:Find the long-term proportions, a and b, of the two states, A and B, corresponding to the transition matrix T=|0.7 0.4| | 0.3 0.6| Note, the matric is a 2x2 matrix Thanks

    MHB What is the long-term percentage of city dwellers?

    Hi, I am having trouble with the following question, I've answered part a but I am not sure about part b: Suppose each year 20% of people who live in the country move into the city, while 10% of the city people move into the country. a) If in 2015, 50% of the population live in the cities, what...

    MHB Finding tangents, given (x,y) information

    Stuck on another calculus question and not sure where to begin: For each h(x) defined below, find h′(2), given that f(2)=−3,g(2)=3,f′(2)=−3 and g′(2)=7. a) h(x)=f(x)g(x) b) h(x)=g(x)/1+f(x) c) h(x)=x^2/f(x) d) h(x)=g(x)/x^2 Thanks for all your help. Sorry for bombarding but...

    MHB What is the Rate of Change of Resistance in a Parallel Circuit?

    Im having trouble with this problem to do with applictions of calculus. If two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, then the total resistance R measured in ohms (Ω), is given by 1R=1R1+1R2. If R1 and R2 are increasing at rates of 0.4Ω/s and 0.6Ω/s respectively, how...

    MHB What is the Derivative of xf(x) at x=4 Using the Product Rule?

    I am having trouble getting started with this question. Suppose that f(4)=7 and f′(4)=−2. Use the product rule to find the derivative of xf(x) when x=4. Thanks

    MHB Finding the equation of a curve given the tangent equation

    I have a calculus question and I am not sure where to get started. The question states:"Find the value of c>0 such that the line y=x+1 is the tangent line to the curve c√x (i.e. intersects the curve at one point and shares the same slope at that point)." Thanks
