    Trouble with Bolzano-Weierstrauss

    This involves the Bolzano-Weierstrauss Theorem, I believe, but I'm not sure where to start. Prove that the set of open disks in the xy plane with center (x,x) and radius x > 0, x rational, is a countable covering of the set {(x,y): x > 0, y > 0}

    Solve for X and Solving a Quartic Function

    Solve 1. X + 3 - X+ 4 = X + 5 - X + 6 X + 2 X + 3 X + 4 X + 5 2. Higher education French language registration in the USA from 1970 to 1998 can be modeled with the quartic function f(x) = 0.004X - 0.2268X + 5.836X - 46.121X + 360.046, where f is in thousands and x is the number of years since 1970. Use th

    Fixed Point of Function & Matlab Program for the Newton-Raphson

    1. Let g: R&#8594;R+ be such a function that g&#8712; C^1(R) and for all x &#8712; R, -1 <g'(x) < 0. Show that the sequence Xn+1 : = g(Xn) converges to the unique fixed point of the function g, regardless of chioce Xo &#8712; R. [ Note : Observe that the domain of function g is not a compact interval.] 2. Write a matla

    Local or Uniform Lipschitz Constants

    Determine if the following functions satisfy local or uniform Lipschitz condition. 1). te^y My work: I found d/dy (te^y) = te^y, and this is not bounded above for any value of y, so this made me conclude that it has locally Lipschitz condition since the Lipschitz constant here changes as the reagion changes? Am I right?

    Closed Locker Problem

    School is about to begin. The janitor has all the lockers closed. All 1000 of them. Student #1 comes along and opens ALL of the lockers. Student #2 comes along and closes doors 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.... Student #3 comes along and changes the state of every 3rd locker ( 3, 6, 9, 12, 15). Student #4 comes along and c

    Dirichelet problem

    I need to use separation of variables to solve Laplace's equation in the annular sector: 1< r<2, 0< theta< pi/2, u(1,theta)= f(theta), u(2,theta)=0, u(r,0)=0, u(r,pi/2)=0 Thank you!

    Statistics

    The average numbers of home runs hit by the Boston Red Sox per game are: 2 divided by 3 = .66 5 divided by 2 = 2.5 6 divided by 1 = 6 7 divided by 0 = 0 Is that correct using the weighted approach?

    Harmonic Function: Analyticity, Compactness and Minimum Value

    Let (attached) be a function that is analytic and not constant throughtout a bounded domain (attached) and continuous (attached) on its boundary (here domain is an open connected set). Prove, by considering (attached) , that the component function (attached) has a minimum value in the compact region (attached) which occurs on

    Functions and Graphs

    Having trouble researching the number of deaths in the US each year due to each of the following medical conditions in each of these years: 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2002. heart disease, cancer and aids e.g. The websites keep bringing up different types of cancer, nothing is specific. Totally frustrated... e.g. 1980 throug

    Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iteration

    The problem is from Numerical Methods. Please show each step of your solution and tell me the theorems, definitions, etc. if you use any. Thank you. Start with P0 = 0 and use Jacobi iteration to find..... (Complete problem found in attachment)

    Problem involving Differential Equations

    A mass 5kg is attached to a spring suspended from the ceiling. When the mass comes to rest at equilibrium, the spring has been stretched 2m. The mass... Determine the motion of the mass. Decribe its motion in as much detail as possible. Please see attached.

    Demand Function, Cost Function. When x=500 units, is the demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? Determine the production level of x that will minimize the average cost for this product. What is the average cost at this production level? What is the cost at this production level?

    1. When x=500 units, is the demand elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic? The demand function is P(x) = 100-x/400 in dollars 2. The cost function to produce x items is given by: C(x)=1/9x^2 - 2x + 100 in dollars. Determine the production level of x that will minimize the average cost for this product. What is the ave

    Knapsack Problem : Write in Canonical Form

    Let [EQUATION1] with [EQUATION2] and [EQUATION3]. The idea is to write each such set in some simple canonical form. (i) When n = 2, how many distinct knapsack sets are there? Write them out in a canonical form with integral coefficients and 1 = [EQUATION4]. (ii) Repeat for n = 3 with [EQUATION5]. *(For proper equations an

    Continuous functions on closed intervals

    See attached, ps explain correct answer Let f be a function that is continuous on the closed interval [0,1] and differentiable on the open interval (0,1). If f(0) = f(1), then which of the following statements must be true? A. f has a minimum at some x0 such that 0 < x0 < 1. B. f has a maximum at some x0 such that 0 < x0

    Carrying capacity

    Suppose that a population develops according to the logistic equation: dP/dt = 0.15P - 0.003P^2 where t is measured in weeks. what is the carrying capacity?

    Logistic model

    A population obeys the logistic model. It satisfies the equation : dP/dt = 2/1300 P(13-P) for P>0 Find when P is increasing and decreasing.

    Obtaining a Target Number

    Using the numbers 3, 3, 8 and 8 once and only once, obtain the target number of 24. (You have to use 3 twice and 8 twice - 3 x 8 = 24 is not acceptable). You may use only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (eg. no factorial). Hint: no addition in the equation.
