A college professor never finishes his lecture before the end of the hour and always finishes his lectures within 2 min after th

e hour. Let X = the time that elapses between the end of the hour and the end of the lecture and suppose the pdf of X is as follows. f(x) = kx2 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 0 otherwise (a) Find the value of k. (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

f(x) = kx^2, 0\leq x \leq 2\\~~~~~~~= 0, \text{ otherwise}

where x is the time elapses between the end of the hour and the end of the lecture.

We have to find the values of k.

Since, f(x) is the pdf, then,

\displaystyle\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} kx^2 = 1\\\\k\bigg[\frac{x^3}{3}\bigg]^2_0 = 1\\\\k\times \frac{8}{3} = 1\\\\k = \frac{3}{8}

Hence, value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}

Given f: ℝ → ℝ and : ℝ → ℝ , for the following, find f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), and state the domain.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Remember, (f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x)) and the range of g must be in the domain of f.

a)

f(g(x))=f(x-1)=(x-1)^2-(x-1)=x^2-2x+1-x+1=x^2-3x+2

g(f(x))=g(x^2-x)=(x^2-x)-1=x^2-x-1

The domain of f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) is the set of reals.

b)

f(g(x))=f(\sqrt{x}-2)=(\sqrt{x}-2)^2-x=\sqrt{x}^2-2*2*\sqrt{x}+2^2-x=-4\sqrt{x}+4

g(f(x))=g(x^2-x)=\sqrt{x^2-x}-2

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of number such that x^2-x\geq 0

c)

f(g(x))=f(\frac{1}{x-1})=(\frac{1}{x-1})^2=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2}

g(f(x))=g(x^2)=\frac{1}{x^2-1}

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of reals except the 1 and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of reals except the 1 and -1

d)

f(g(x))=f(\frac{1}{x-1})=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{x-1}-1)}=\frac{1}{\frac{2-x}{x-1}}=\frac{x-1}{2-x}

g(f(x))=g(\frac{1}{x+2})=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{x+2}-1)}=\frac{1}{\frac{-x-1}{x+2}}=\frac{x+2}{-x-1}

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of reals except 2, and the domain of g(f(x)) is the set of reals except -1.

e)

f(g(x))=f(log(2(x+3)))=f(log(2x+6))=log(2x+6)-1

g(f(x))=g(x-1)=log(2(x-1)+6)=log(2x+4)

The domain of f(g(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals except -3. The domain of g(f(x)) is the set of nonnegative reals except -2.

artcher [175]
Hello,

Each side of a triangle is less than the sum of the 2 others sides;

x<8+12 ==>x<20
8<x+12 already realized
12<x+8==>x>4
So:

4<x<20 (i suppose that all the vertex are not on the same line)
