lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The correct option is d i.e. scatter plot

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is d i.e. scatter plot

scatter plot will be the best option to display the variation of expenditure with respect to annual income.

on one axis annual income is used and on the other expenditure of the family. hence for a particular change in annual income, an impact on expenditure will easily be predicted.

Answer:

This is an example of

C. simultaneous causality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous causality eliminates the conclusion that is often taken for granted to the effect that one variable is a response variable while the other is an explanatory variable because the two variables, the price and the number of shares, influence each other at the same time. When more shares are traded than demanded in the stock market in any day, the price tends to go down, and vice versa.

Determine whether the integral converges.

Kryger [21]

You have one mistake which occurs when you integrate $\dfrac1{1-p^2}$ . The antiderivative of this is not in terms of $\tan^{-1}p$ . Instead, letting $p=\sin r$ (or $\cos r$ , if you want to bother with more signs) gives $\mathrm dp=\cos r\,\mathrm dr$ , making the indefinite integral equality

$\displaystyle-\frac12\int\frac{\mathrm dp}{1-p^2}=-\frac12\int\frac{\cos r}{1-\sin^2r}\,\mathrm dr=-\frac12\int\sec r\,\mathrm dr=\ln|\sec r+\tan r|+C$

and then compute the definite integral from there.

$-\dfrac12\ln|\sec r+\tan r|\stackrel{r=\sin^{-1}p}=-\dfrac12\ln\left|\dfrac{1+p}{\sqrt{1-p^2}}=\ln\left|\sqrt{\dfrac{1+p}{1-p}}\right|$
$\stackrel{p=u/2}=-\dfrac12\ln\left|\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\frac u2}{1-\frac u2}}\right|=-\dfrac12\ln\left|\sqrt{\dfrac{2+u}{2-u}}\right|$
$\stackrel{u=x+1}=-\dfrac12\ln\left|\sqrt{\dfrac{3+x}{1-x}}\right|$
$\implies-\dfrac12\displaystyle\lim_{t\to\infty}\ln\left|\sqrt{\dfrac{3+x}{1-x}}\right|\bigg|_{x=2}^{x=t}=-\frac12\left(\ln|-1|-\ln\left|\sqrt{\frac5{-1}}\right|\right)=\dfrac{\ln\sqrt5}2=\dfrac{\ln5}4$

Or, starting from the beginning, you could also have found it slightly more convenient to combine the substitutions in one fell swoop by letting $x+1=2\sec y$ . Then $\mathrm dx=2\sec y\tan y\,\mathrm dy$ , and the integral becomes

$\displaystyle\int_2^\infty\frac{\mathrm dx}{(x+1)^2-4}=\int_{\sec^{-1}(3/2)}^{\pi/2}\frac{2\sec y\tan y}{4\sec^2y-4}\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=\frac12\int_{\sec^{-1}(3/2)}^{\pi/2}\csc y\,\mathrm dy$
$\displaystyle=-\frac12\ln|\csc y+\cot y|\bigg|_{y=\sec^{-1}(3/2}}^{y=\pi/2}$
$\displaystyle=-\frac12\lim_{t\to\pi/2^-}\ln|\csc y+\cot y|\bigg|_{y=\sec^{-1}(3/2)}^{y=t}$
$\displaystyle=-\frac12\left(\lim_{t\to\pi/2^-}\ln|\csc t+\cot t|-\ln\frac5{\sqrt5}\right)$
$=\dfrac{\ln\sqrt5}2-\dfrac{\ln|1|}2$
$=\dfrac{\ln5}4$

Another way to do this is to notice that the integrand's denominator can be factorized.

$x^2+2x-3=(x+3)(x-1)$

So,

$\dfrac1{x^2+2x-3}=\dfrac1{(x+3)(x-1)}=\dfrac14\left(\dfrac1{x-1}-\dfrac1{x+3}\right)$

There are no discontinuities to worry about since you're integrate over $[2,\infty)$ , so you can proceed with integrating straightaway.

$\displaystyle\int_2^\infty\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2+2x-3}=\frac14\lim_{t\to\infty}\int_2^t\left(\frac1{x-1}-\frac1{x+3}\right)\,\mathrm dx$
$=\displaystyle\frac14\lim_{t\to\infty}(\ln|x-1|-\ln|x+3|)\bigg|_{x=2}^{x=t}$
$=\displaystyle\frac14\lim_{t\to\infty}\ln\left|\frac{x-1}{x+3}\right|\bigg|_{x=2}^{x=t}$
$=\displaystyle\frac14\left(\lim_{t\to\infty}\ln\left|\frac{t-1}{t+3}\right|-\ln\frac15\right)$
$=\displaystyle\frac14\left(\ln1-\ln\frac15\right)$
$=-\dfrac14\ln\dfrac15=\dfrac{\ln5}4$

Just goes to show there's often more than one way to skin a cat...
