Given the function h(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = -2x + 2, g(h(x)) = -4x + 8

A function is a mathematical relationship that shows the relationship between two variables.

Given the functions h(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = -2x + 2

We desire to find (goh)(x), we proceed as follows.

Since we have the functions h(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = -2x + 2

We notice that  (goh)(x) = g(h(x))

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have that

(goh)(x) = g(h(x))

= -2x + 2

Substituting h(x) = 2x - 3 into the equation, we have that

g(h(x)) = -2x + 2

= -2(2x - 3) + 2

= -4x + 6 + 2

= -4x + 8

So, g(h(x)) = -4x + 8

When x = 2, f(g(x)) is approximately equal to 187/9.

To solve for f(g(x)) when x = 2, we need to substitute the value of x into the function g(x) and then substitute the result into the function f(x). Let's calculate it step by step:

Step 1: Calculate g(x) when x = 2:

g(x) = x + 4/3

g(2) = 2 + 4/3

g(2) = 2 + 4/3

g(2) = 10/3

Step 2: Substitute the result from step 1 into f(x):

f(x) =[tex]x^2[/tex] + 2x + 3

f(g(x)) = f(10/3)

f(g(2)) = f(10/3)

Step 3: Calculate f(g(2)):

f(10/3) = (10/3[tex])^2[/tex] + 2(10/3) + 3

f(10/3) = 100/9 + 20/3 + 3

f(10/3) = 100/9 + 60/9 + 27/9

f(10/3) = 187/9

Therefore, when x = 2, f(g(x)) is approximately equal to 187/9.

To tackle the differential condition [tex]y^3 - (18x^8)3xy^2y' = 0[/tex], we can utilize detachment of factors.

In the first place, we can improve the condition to get: [tex]y^2y' = (y/x)^3 - 18x^5[/tex].

Louisa would need to invest $32,172.75 semiannually to have $44000 in four years if the fund she has selected pays 8.1% annually, compounded semiannually.

To have $44000 in four years, Louisa would need to invest a total of $x in the fund that pays 8.1% annually, compounded semiannually.

Using the formula for compound interest, we can solve for x:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:
A = the total amount (in this case, $44000)
P = the principal amount (the amount Louisa needs to invest)
r = the annual interest rate (8.1%)
n = the number of times the interest is compounded per year (semiannually = 2)
t = the number of years (4)

Plugging in these values:

44000 = P(1 + 0.081/2)^(2*4)

44000 = P(1.0405)^8

44000 = P(1.366)

P = 32172.75

(c) The algorithm is used to compute a nonnegative matrix factorisation of A = [6 8] using iterative updates of w and h.

(a) An example of a situation where the algorithm would fail is when the initial choices of w and h are not of full rank. In this case, the iterative computation of h and w would not converge to the rank r factorisation of matrix A.

(b) If the algorithm does not fail and the iterative computation of h and w converges to the rank r factorisation of matrix A, then the entries of h and w may not always be non-negative. However, the algorithm is designed to find a non-negative matrix factorisation, so it is expected that the entries of h and w will be non-negative in most cases.

(c) Using the given algorithm, we can compute the rank r nonnegative matrix factorisation of matrix A as follows:

- Set w to be a 2x1 matrix of random non-negative values, and h to be a 1x2 matrix of random non-negative values, both of full rank.
- Compute h = h .* (w' * A) ./ (w' * w * h) and w = w .* (A * h') ./ (w * h * h'), where .* denotes element-wise multiplication, and ' denotes matrix transpose.
- Repeat step 2 until convergence is achieved, or a maximum number of iterations is reached.

Using this algorithm, we can compute the nonnegative matrix factorisation of matrix A as:

Two angles are co-terminal, meaning they differ by a multiple of 360°.

a) We know that sin A = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/12. Therefore, the adjacent side of angle A must be negative, since it is located in the second quadrant. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse:

(5/12)^2 + (adjacent)^2 = hypotenuse^2

25/144 + (adjacent)^2 = hypotenuse^2

(adjacent)^2 = hypotenuse^2 - 25/144

(adjacent)^2 = (hypotenuse^2 * 144 - 25)/144

We also know that cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse and tangent is opposite/adjacent, so:

cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse = sqrt(hypotenuse^2 - 25/144)/hypotenuse

tan A = opposite/adjacent = 5/sqrt(hypotenuse^2 - 25/144)

b) To find angle A, we can use the inverse sine function:

A = sin^-1(5/12)

A ≈ 24.02°

We know that cosecant is the reciprocal of sine, so:

csc A = 1/sin A

We want to find angles that have a cosecant of V3, so:

1/sin A = V3

sin A = 1/V3

We can use the unit circle to find angles whose sine is 1/V3. One such angle is 60°, since sin 60° = V3/2. Another angle is 300°, since sin 300° = -V3/2. These two angles are co-terminal, meaning they differ by a multiple of 360°.

Ok I’ll tell you how to do it.

y(t) = [tex]C1 e^t cos t + C2 e^t sin t + (1/2)ex sin t + (1/4)ex sin(2t) + (1/4)ln|[/tex]

We first solve the associated homogeneous differential equation:

[tex]2y'' - 4y' + 4y[/tex] = 0

The characteristic equation is[tex]r^2[/tex] - 2r + 2 = 0, which has roots r = 1 ± i. Therefore, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:

[tex]y_h(t) = e^t([/tex]C1 cos t + C2 sin t)

To use the method of variation of parameters to find the particular solution to the original equation, we assume that the solution has the form:

[tex]y_p(t) = u(t)e^t cos t + v(t)e^t sin t[/tex]

where u(t) and v(t) are functions to be determined.

[tex]y_p''(t) \\\\2u'(t)e^t cos t + 2v'(t)e^t sin t + 2u(t)e^t cos t - 2v(t)e^t sin t - 2u(t)e^t sin t - 2v(t)e^t cos t[/tex]

[tex]y_p'(t) = u'(t)e^t cos t + v'(t)e^t sin t + u(t)e^t cos t + v(t)e^t sin t[/tex]

Substituting these into the original equation and simplifying, we get:

[tex]2u'(t)e^t cos t + 2v'(t)e^t sin t = ex sec x[/tex]

We need to find u'(t) and v'(t) such that this equation holds for all t. To do this, we take the derivative of the assumed solution with respect to t and equate coefficients of cos t and sin t separately:

[tex]u'(t)e^t cos t + v'(t)e^t sin t + u(t)e^t cos t + v(t)e^t sin t = 0 (1)\\v'(t)e^t cos t - u'(t)e^t sin t + u(t)e^t sin t - v(t)e^t cos t = ex sec x (2)[/tex]

Solving equation (1) for u'(t) and v'(t) and substituting into equation (2), we get:

[tex]v(t) = ∫ [ex sec x / (e^(2t))] dt\\u(t) = -∫ [ex sec x / (e^(2t))] tan t dt[/tex]

Evaluating the integrals, we get:

[tex]v(t) = (1/2)ex tan x - (1/2)ln|cos x| + C1\\u(t) = (1/4)ex [sin(2t) - 2cos(2t)] + (1/4)ln|cos x| tan x + C2[/tex]

where C1 and C2 are arbitrary constants.

The general solution to the original differential equation is:

1-p = 0.65p (the frog moves from B to A with the probability of 0.65 and stays on A with the probability of 1-p).

Since the posterior distribution is normal, the conditional expectation E[θ|X] is also a linear function of X.

Therefore, if 8(X)

(a)

If 8(X) is an unbiased estimate of 0, then we have E[8(X)] = 0, which means that ∫ 8(x)Pe(x)dx = 0 for all possible values of 0.

Now, the Bayes estimate with respect to quadratic loss is given by

δ(X) = argmin (E[(δ(X) - θ)^2|X]) = E[θ|X]

It can be shown that the Bayes estimate with respect to quadratic loss is the conditional expectation of θ given X.

Now, if δ(X) = 8(X), then we have

E[(δ(X) - θ)^2|X] = E[(8(X) - θ)^2|X]

= E[(8(X) - E[θ|X] + E[θ|X] - θ)^2|X]

= E[(8(X) - E[θ|X])^2|X] + E[(E[θ|X] - θ)^2|X] + 2E[(8(X) - E[θ|X])(E[θ|X] - θ)|X]

= Var[θ|X] + (E[θ|X] - θ)^2

where the last equality follows from the fact that 8(X) is an unbiased estimate of θ, and hence, E[8(X) - θ|X] = 0.

Since we are using quadratic loss, the above expression needs to be minimized with respect to δ(X), which is equivalent to minimizing Var[θ|X] + (E[θ|X] - θ)^2.

It can be shown that the minimum is achieved when δ(X) = E[θ|X].

Therefore, if 8(X) is the Bayes estimate with respect to quadratic loss, then we must have 8(X) = E[θ|X] for all possible values of X.

This means that the posterior distribution of θ given X is degenerate, i.e., P[δ(X) = θ|X] = 1 for all possible values of X.

Conversely, if P[δ(X) = θ|X] = 1 for all possible values of X, then δ(X) = E[θ|X] for all possible values of X.

This means that 8(X) is the Bayes estimate with respect to quadratic loss, and it is also an unbiased estimate of θ.

(b)

Suppose Pe = N(0,02%). Then, we have

E[θ^2] = Var[θ] + E[θ]^2 = 0.02

Since E[θ^2] < [infinity], we can conclude that Var[θ] < [infinity].

Now, suppose there exists a prior distribution π such that X is a Bayes estimate with respect to quadratic loss. Then, we must have

8(X) = E[θ|X]

It can be shown that if Pe = N(0,02%), then the posterior distribution of θ given X is also normal with mean

μ = (0.02/(0.02 + nσ^2))x

and variance

σ^2 = (0.02σ^2)/(0.02 + nσ^2)

where n is the sample size and σ^2 is the variance of Pe.

Since the posterior distribution is normal, the conditional expectation E[θ|X] is also a linear function of X.

6! is the factorial of 6, which is the sum of all positive numbers ranging from 1 to 6. So,

6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

When we simplify this expression, we get:

6! = 720

As a result, there are 720 different ways to position six individuals in a line for a photo.

a.  The probability distribution of the test statistic is approximately a standard normal distribution.

b. The p-value for the test of  factors that affect the prevalence of tuberculosis among intravenous drug users is 0.0202.  

c. We can conclude that there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of their proportions of positive skin test results.

d. The 95% confidence interval does not contain zero, so there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of their proportions of positive skin test results.

To estimate the common value of p assuming that the population proportions of positive skin test results are equal, we can compute the pooled proportion:

p-hat = (x1 + x2) / (n1 + n2)

= (24.7 + 17.4) / (97 + 161)

= 0.195

where x1 and x2 are the number of individuals with positive skin test results in the two groups, and n1 and n2 are the sample sizes.

a. To test the null hypothesis that the proportions of intravenous drug users who have positive tuberculin skin test results are identical for those who share needles and those who do not, we can use a two-sample z-test for proportions. The test statistic is:

z = (p1 - p2) / sqrt(phat * (1 - phat) * (1/n1 + 1/n2))

where p1 and p2 are the sample proportions, phat is the pooled proportion, and n1 and n2 are the sample sizes.

Plugging in the values, we get:

z = (0.247 - 0.174) / sqrt(0.195 * (1 - 0.195) * (1/97 + 1/161))

= 2.05

The probability distribution of the test statistic is approximately a standard normal distribution, since the sample sizes are large enough (both n1 and n2 are greater than 30).

b. The p-value for the test is the probability of observing a z-value of 2.05 or more extreme under the null hypothesis. From a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find that the p-value is approximately 0.0202 (or 0.0404 for a two-tailed test).

Since the p-value is less than the significance level of 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the proportions of intravenous drug users who have positive tuberculin skin test results are not identical for those who share needles and those who do not.

c. To construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in proportions, we can use the formula:

(p1 - p2) ± z* sqrt(phat * (1 - phat) * (1/n1 + 1/n2))

where z is the critical value for a 95% confidence interval from a standard normal distribution (z = 1.96).

Plugging in the values, we get:

(0.247 - 0.174) ± 1.96 * sqrt(0.195 * (1 - 0.195) * (1/97 + 1/161))

= 0.073 ± 0.090

Therefore, we can be 95% confident that the true difference in proportions of intravenous drug users who have positive tuberculin skin test results between those who share needles and those who do not is between 0.073 and -0.073 (which can be written as an absolute value of 0.073).

d.  We can infer that there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the proportions of positive skin test results because the interval does not contain zero.

The probability that a customer will use plus gas and fill the tank is 0.21 or 21%.

Let's use the following notation:

R: the event that a customer uses regular gas

P: the event that a customer uses plus gas

M: the event that a customer uses premium gas

F: the event that a customer fills their tank

We are given:

P(R) = 0.4, P(P) = 0.35, P(M) = 0.25

P(F|R) = 0.3, P(F|P) = 0.6, P(F|M) = 0.5

We want to find P(P and F), the probability that a customer uses plus gas and fills their tank. We can use the following formula:

P(P and F) = P(F and P) = P(F|P) * P(P)

Substituting the values, we get:

P(P and F) = P(F|P) * P(P) = 0.6 * 0.35 = 0.21

Therefore, the probability that a customer will use plus gas and fill the tank is 0.21 or 21%.
