Professional basketball coaches may coach at one of three levels: Assistant, Associate, or Head. It is possible to transition from any of these levels (states) to another. Each of these three states is transient because once someone leaves coaching at any level they never return (at least according to our model). On average, annual salary for head coaches is $104,485, for associates is $62,993, and for assistants is $41,389. Using our P matrix, we have solved to find the fundamental matrix (we have called it the (I-Q) inverse matrix): Assist Assoc Head Assist 6 4 2 Assoc 2 6 6 Head 1 2 10 For someone who is a head coach - what is their expected income for the remainder of their professional coaching career?

For someone who is a head coach - their expected income for the remainder of their professional coaching career will be

Expected income = 1×$41,389 + 2×$62,993 + 10×$104,485

Expected income = $1,212,225

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional basketball coaches may coach at one of three levels:

On average, the annual salary is given by

Using our P matrix, we have solved to find the fundamental matrix (we have called it the (I-Q) inverse matrix):

                      Assistant      Associate     Head

Assistant              6                     4              2

Associate             2                     6              6        

Head                    1                      2              10

For someone who is a head coach - what is their expected income for the remainder of their professional coaching career?

As per the given P matrix, for someone who is a head coach will be:

Assistant = 1 time

Associate = 2 times

Head = 10 times

Therefore, the expected income will be,

Expected income = 1×$41,389 + 2×$62,993 + 10×$104,485

Expected income = $1,212,225

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
