Question: (a) In the AR(1) model (x_{t}=phi_{0}+phi_{1} x_{t-1}+w_{t}), with (phi_{1} <1) and (mathrm{E}left(x_{t} ight)=mathrm{E}left(x_{t-1} ight)), show that [ mathrm{E}left(x_{t} ight)=frac{phi_{0}}{1-phi_{1}} ] (b) In the (mathrm{AR}(2)) model
(a) In the AR(1) model \(x_{t}=\phi_{0}+\phi_{1} x_{t-1}+w_{t}\), with \(\phi_{1}<1\) and \(\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-1}\right)\), show that
\[ \mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\frac{\phi_{0}}{1-\phi_{1}} \]
(b) In the \(\mathrm{AR}(2)\) model \(x_{t}=\phi_{0}+\phi_{1} x_{t-1}+\phi_{2} x_{t-2}+w_{t}\), with a constant mean, \(\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-1}\right)=\mathrm{E}\left(x_{t-2}\right)\), show that
\[ \mathrm{E}\left(x_{t}\right)=\frac{\phi_{0}}{1-\phi_{1}-\phi_{2}} \]
so long as \(\phi_{1}+\phi_{2} eq 1\).
