Verify all axioms that show that the set of second degree polynomials is a vector space. What is the Rank?

P2 = {p(x)P | p(x) = ax^2 + bx + c where a,b,c E R}

1. For a special case, show that the Improved Euler’s Method may be referred to as the Trapezoid Rule. Support this claim by writing and solving an example problem using both methods.       

2. The error associated with Euler's Method is proportional to step size. Euler's method will yield error-free prediction for a certain condition. What is the condition? Support the claim.

3. Use the Taylor Series to show that the Improved Euler’s Method and Midpoint Method have the same order of accuracy, which is greater than the order of accuracy for Euler’s Method.

4. Use the forward finite difference approximation to derive Euler’s formula.

There is a retailer called "The Coop", which carries a wide variety of products with MIT's name and logo: shirts, caps, keychains, pens... you name it! Anything from golf balls and teddy bears to pocket protectors and jewelry. With a store inside MIT's Student Center, and another one in the popular Kendall Square, across the street from MIT campus, The Coop is a favorite stop for casual MIT visitors, current students and their relatives, and nostalgic alumni.

The Coop carries a line of products that feature MIT's official seal cast in a jewelry-grade steel. The same seal (about the size of a coin) is used in multiple finished goods, such as necklaces, tie pins, cufflinks, and paperweights. The Coop is considering introducing in 2018 a new line of products featuring MIT's seal cast in 18 karat gold. These seals would be used in upscale jewelry, and as an ornament in the diploma frames that sell especially during commencement season.

Based on their experience with similar products in the past, The Coop has projected the following demand for gold MIT seals for each month of 2018.

The seals would be produced, under license, by Seventh Seal, a specialty manufacturer of commemorative seals cast in precious metals, located in Syracuse, New York. Seventh Seal has offered to produce the gold MIT seals exclusively for The Coop. Seventh Seal has explained to The Coop that there is a cost to setting up the equipment to produce the gold MIT seal. Because of this, Seventh Seal will charge The Coop a set-up cost of $1417.5 every time the MIT seal is produced.

Because of the high set-up cost, one of the managers at The Coop proposes doing all the seals that will be needed for 2018 in a one-time production batch. "This will save us a lot of money in set-up costs", he says.

Another manager, however, warns that - because the gold seals are expensive - there is an associated holding cost. The Coop estimates that the holding cost will be about $0.21000000000000002 per seal per month (the dot is a decimal mark).

Because of the high holding costs, that manager proposes doing monthly batches in the amount of seals that will be required that month, according to the demand projection. "This will save us a lot of money in holding costs", she says.

What are the total costs (e.g. the sum of set-up costs and holding costs) of producing the gold seals using a lot for lot (or chase) approach and a one time approach?

Show that {t_(1,s) : 2 ≤ s ≤ n} is a minimal generating set for S_n. You may use the fact that {t_(r,s) : 1 ≤ r < s ≤ n}, as defined in the outline, generates S_n.

Define the sample space. To get simpler expressions, you can prefer the set notations.
(a) (6 Points) What is the sample space of choosing a real number from interval [0, 1] which is larger than 0.5. Specify the properties of the sample space. Design two different random variables for this task.
(b) (6 Points) You play rock-paper-scissors with your friend. The one with total three wins or two subsequent wins will be the winner of the game. Give a probability tree of you being the winner. State the sample space by using probability tree diagram.
(You can use nested probability trees to make the representation easier. For example, you can generate a tree only for win-loss possibilities (without any information about rock-paper-scissors), one another tree for Win, including all possible cases with rock- paper-scissors, similarly one another tree for Loss, again including all possible cases with rock-paper-scissors)

This is a question for my problem-solving class. I am really stuck and I can't see much of a pattern so I would appreciate if someone could draw out for each thief and explain the pattern to get the answer for 40 thieves!

Question:

Forty thieves, all different ages, steal a huge pile of identical gold coins and must decide how to divide them up. They settle on the following procedure. The youngest divides the coins among the thieves however he wishes, then all 40 thieves vote on whether they are satisfied with the division. If at least half vote YES, the division is accepted. If a majority votes NO, the youngest is killed and the next youngest gets to try to divide the loot among the remaining 39 thieves (including herself). Again they all vote, with the same penalty if the majority votes NO and so on. Each of the thieves is logical and always acts in her or his own self-interest, ignoring the interest of the group, fairness, etc. Given all this, how should the youngest of the 40 thieves divide the loot?

Let L1 be the language of the binary representations of all positive integers divisible by 4. Let L2 be the language of the binary representations of all positive integers not divisible by 4. None of the elements of these languages have leading zeroes.

a) Write a regular expression denoting L1.

b) Write a regular expression denoting L2.

c) a) Draw a state diagram (= deterministic finite state automaton) with as few states as possible which recognizes L1. This state diagram should be complete: it should handle all strings of 0’s and 1’s.

d) Draw a state diagram (= deterministic finite state automaton) with as few states as possible which recognizes L2. This state diagram should be complete: it should handle all strings of 0’s and 1’s.

Monsanto sells genetically modified seed to farmers. It needs to decide how much seed to put into a warehouse to serve demand for the next growing season. It will make one quantity decision. It costs Monsanto $8 to make each kilogram (kg) of seed. It sells each kg for $45. If it has more seed than demanded by the local farmers, the remaining seed is sent overseas. Unfortunately, it only earns $3 per kg from the overseas market (but this is better than destroying the seed because it cannot be stored until next year). If demand exceeds its quantity, then the sales are lost—the farmers go to another supplier. As a forecast for demand, it will use a normal distribution with a mean of 300,000 and a standard deviation of 100,000.

Round your answer to 2 digits after the decimal point if it is not an integer. Do NOT use comma in your numeric answers.

Monsanto’s maximum profit for this seed is $.

The underage cost is $_______. The overage cost is $_______. The critical ratio is _______ . Monsanto should place ________ kg of seed in the warehouse before the growing season to maximize its expected profit. In such case, the expected leftover inventory will be ________ kg, the expected sales will be _______ kg, the expected profit will be $_______
