Answer:

x ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no domain restrictions on a(x), so we can find the domain of the composite function by looking at that composition:

$(b \circ a)(x)=b(a(x)) = b(3x+1)=\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}\\\\(b \circ a)(x)=\sqrt{3x-3}=\sqrt{3(x-1)}$

The argument of the square root function must be non-negative, so we must have ...

3(x -1) ≥ 0

x -1 ≥ 0 . . . . . divide by 3

x ≥ 1 . . . . . . . add 1

The domain of b(a(x)) is x ≥ 1.

Find the Fourier series of f on the given interval. f(x) = 1, ?7 < x < 0 1 + x, 0 ? x < 7

Zolol [24]

$f(x)=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }-7$

The Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is given by

$\dfrac{a_0}2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos\frac{n\pi x}7+\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7$

where we have

$a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$a_0=\dfrac{7+\frac{63}2}7=\dfrac{11}2$

The coefficients of the cosine series are

$a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\cos\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx$
$a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$a_n=\dfrac{9\sin n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\cos n\pi-7}{n^2\pi^2}$
$a_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^n-7}{n^2\pi^2}$

When $n$ is even, the numerator vanishes, so we consider odd $n$ , i.e. $n=2k-1$ for $k\in\mathbb N$ , leaving us with

$a_n=a_{2k-1}=\dfrac{7(-1)-7}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}=-\dfrac{14}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}$

Meanwhile, the coefficients of the sine series are given by

$b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx$
$b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$b_n=-\dfrac{7\cos n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\sin n\pi}{n^2\pi^2}$
$b_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^{n+1}}{n\pi}$

So the Fourier series expansion for $f(x)$ is

$f(x)\sim\dfrac{11}4-\dfrac{14}{\pi^2}\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac1{(2n-1)^2}\cos\frac{(2n-1)\pi x}7+\frac7\pi\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7$

An article includes the accompanying data on compression strength (lb) for a sample of 12-oz aluminum cans filled with strawberr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. The population standard deviations are not known. Let μ1 be the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of strawberry drink and μ2 be the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of cola.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of strawberry drink and the mean compression strength from the extra carbonation of cola.

We would set up the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 < μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 < 0

This is a left tailed test.

Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

From the information given,

x1 = 530

x2 = 553

s1 = 23

s2 = 16

n1 = 10

n2 = 10

t = (530 - 533)/√(23²/10 + 16²/10)

t = - 2.6

The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [23²/10 + 16²/10]²/[(1/10 - 1)(23²/10)² + (1/10 - 1)(16²/10)²] = 6162.25/383.752

df = 16

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.0097

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0097, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 5% significance level, the data suggests that the extra carbonation of cola results in a higher average compression strength.
