    Pointwise Operations and Characteristic Functions

    Let U be a set, suppose f, g : U --> R are functions from U to the set of real numbers R, and Let a E R. Then f + g, fg. af: U --> R are defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x), (fg)(x) = f(x)g(x) (af)(x) = a(f(x)) for all x E R. If a E R by abuse of notation we regard a as the constant function from U to R defined by a(x) =

    Operations of Functions: Injective, Surjective and Bijective

    Let f: A ?> B and g: B ?> C be functions. a) Suppose that f and g are injective. Show that g o f is injective. b) Suppose that f and g are surjective. Show that g o f is surjective. c) Suppose that f and g are bijective. Then g o f is bijective by parts a) and b). Show that (gof)^-1 = f^-1 o g^-1. Please do number 3 in at

    What is the expected yield on notes from year 1 to 2, assuming the PEH holds? If inflation for the next year is expected to be 4.5%, what would the expected real rate of interest be on the 3-month T-bill? Plot the yield curve for these Treasury securities. Using the three theories we have discussed, explain how each one helps explain the shape of this yield curve.

    1. If U.S. Treasury yields are as follows: 3 month 6.0% 6 month 6.3% 1 year 6.5% 2 year 6.6% 5 year 6.4% 10 year 7.5% 30 year 8.0% a. What is the expected yield on notes from year 1 to 2, assuming the PEH holds? b. What is the expected yield on notes from year 2 to 5, assuming th

    Parabola and tangent lines

    The parabola y= x^2+4 has two tangents which pass through the point (0,-2). One is tangent to the parabola at (a, a^2+4) and the other at (-a, a^2+4) where a is a certain positive number. The question is a=?

    Relations Vs Functions and Celsius & Fahrenheit Temperature Conversion

    1. In the real world, what might be a situation where it is preferable for the data to form a relation but not a function? 2. There is a formula that converts temperature in degrees Celsius to temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. You are given the following data points: Fahrenheit Celsius Freezing point of water 32

    Solve Finite Difference Equation

    See attached file for full problem description with equation. --- Find analytically the solution of this difference equation with the given initial values: Without computing the solution recursively, predict whether such a computation would be stable. (Note: A numerical process is unstable if small errors made at one

    Fashion Plotting

    A new fashion in clothes is introduced. It spreads slowly through the population at first but then speeds up as more people become aware of it. Eventually those willing to try the new fashions begin to dry up and while the number of people adopting the fashion continues to increase. It does so at a decreasing rate. Later the fas

    Borel Measurable and Borel Functions

    1).Let f(X) : R -> R be the following: f(x) = { 1 if x is in Q (rationals) , 0 if x is not in Q ( irrational)} Prove that f(x) is Borel measurable ( Borel functions).

    Evaluate graphs of derivative functions

    (a) Suppose the graph in Figure 4.1.78 is that of a function g(x). Sketch the graph of the derivative g; (b) On the other hand, suppose the graph above is that of the derivative of a function f. For the interval ..., tell where the function f is (i) increasing; (ii) decreasing. (iii) Tell whether f has any extrema, and if so
