pdf Ron, Sue, and Ted arrive at the beginning of a professor’s office hours. The amount of time they will stay is exponentially distributed with means 1, 1/2, and 1/3 hours. (a) What is the expected time until only one student remains? (b) For each student, find the probability they are the last student left. (c) What is the expected time until all three students are gone?

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

answer: y = 3/2 x - 3

y = 1/8 x - 3/4 that would be your correct option
