# Math Help - force of mortality

1. ## force of mortality

the force of mortality is given by

μ(x) = 1/(100-x) ,for 0 < x < 100

compute
a. °e96:2l (the ° is supposed to be above the e) (line supposed to be above the 2)

b. e96:2l (line supposed to be above the 2, no dot this time)

You're most likely not getting any replies to these questions because no-one can understand what the notation means.

3. Sorry, I don't drop by often enough...

b. is easy enough. Find $_{1}p_{96}$ + $_{2}p_{96}$ = $_{1}p_{96}$ + $_{1}p_{96}$* $_{1}p_{97}$

Usually, the complete expectation is taken to be 1/2 greater than the curtate expectation, but you may wish to work the intregrals for the exact values.

You will need the exact relationship between $\mu_{x}\;and\;_{t}p_{x}$
