Suppose x is a real number and epsilon > 0. Prove that (x - epsilon, x epsilon) is a neighborhood of each of its members; in

other words, if y (x - epsilon, x epsilon), then there is a delta > 0 such that (y - delta , y delta ) (x - epsilon, x epsilon).

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.

Let y\in (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon). then we have that x-\epsilon. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as \delta=\min\{x+\epsilon-y,y-(x-\epsilon)\} (the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).

Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that (y-\delta,y+\delta)\subseteq  (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon), and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let z\in (y-\delta,y+\delta), then y-\delta. First, \delta \leq y-(x-\epsilon) then -\delta \geq -y+x-\epsilon hence z>y-\delta \geq x-\epsilon

On the other hand, \delta \leq x+\epsilon-y then z hence z. Combining the inequalities, we have that  x-\epsilon, therefore (y-\delta,y+\delta)\subseteq  (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon) as required.

Answer:

(D) y³ - 8y² +8y +5

Step-by-step explanation:

y³ - 6y²+ 5y - (2y²- 3y - 5 ) = y³ - 6y² + 5y - 2y² + 3y +5 = y³ - 8y² +8y +5

(CO 4) In a sample of 8 high school students, they spent an average of 24.8 hours each week doing sports with a sample standard
AveGali [126]

Answer:  

(22.12, 27.48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.95=0.05

Sample size : n= 8 , which is a small sample (n<30), so we use t-test.

Critical values using t-distribution: t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{7,0.025}=2.365

Sample mean : \overline{x}=24.8\text{ hours}

Standard deviation : \sigma=3.2\text{ hours}

The confidence interval for population means is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1,\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

i.e. 24.8\pm(2.365)\dfrac{3.2}{\sqrt{8}}

24.8\pm2.67569206001\\\\\approx24.8\pm2.68\\\\=(24.8-2.68, 24.8+2.68)=(22.12, 27.48)

Hence, the 95% confidence interval, assuming the times are normally distributed.=  (22.12, 27.48)
