Discrete mathematics function relation question. I just can not understand how partial functio works. for example, I think a) is not

total function, because y+5=3x is not always true for every domain. However, I do not know it is just partial function, but I do not know how to explain it.

For each of the following relations, determine whether the relation is a function, only a partial function, or not even a partial function.

If it’s a (total) function, write “total function”, and provide a proof that it meets both requirements.

If it’s partial but not total, write “partial, but not total function”, provide a proof that it meets the second requirement (uniqueness), and provide a counterexample to prove that it does not meet the first requirement (existence).

If it’s not even a partial function, write “not a partial function”, and give a counterexample to prove that it doesn’t meet the second requirement (uniqueness).

(a) The relation L on R defined by L = {(x, y) | y + 5 = 3x}.

(b) The relation P1 from Z to Z defined by P1 = {(x, y) | x · y = 6}.

(c) The relation P2 from R ∗ to R ∗ defined by P2 = {(x, y) | x · y = 6}. R ∗ is the set of all non-zero real numbers.

(d) The relation E on the set of all strings defined by L = {(s, t)| the length of s = the length of t}.

For some colleges, there are more applicants than there are openings. This requires colleges to implement a method for selecting students that utilizes criteria believed to predict how well a given student will perform in their college. For example, colleges will use a multiple regression equation that uses high school GPA, test score from the ACT or SAT (college entrance exams), and high school academic ranking (i.e., the quality of the high school) to predict how well a prospective student will do in their college. Describe at least 3 factors/variables you think colleges should use in selecting prospective students into their school. Your initial post must contain at least 10 sentences.

Management is planning to promote a new service in two media buys: flyers and online advertisements. A media budget of $1,500 is available for this promotional campaign. Based on past experience in promoting its other services, the following estimate of the relationship between sales and the amount spent on promotion in these two media is

                              S = -8F^2 - 22A^2 - 4FA + 12F + 32A

where

                             S = total sales in thousands of dollars

                             F = dollars spent on flyers

                             A = dollars spent on online advertising

Formulate an optimization problem that can be solved to maximize sales subject to the media budget of spending no more than $1,500 on total advertising. Determine the optimal amount to spend on flyers and online advertising.

QUESTION 1

  1. In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 38 hotels were selected. It was determined that the average price of the rooms in the sample was $109.3. The population standard deviation is known to be $18. We would like to test whether or not the average room price is significantly different from $110.

    Compute the test statistic.

QUESTION 2

  1. In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 39 hotels were selected. It was determined that the test statistic (z) was $-1.99. We would like to test whether or not the average room price is significantly different from $110. Population standard deviation is known to us.

    Compute the p-value.

QUESTION 3

  1. In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta. Using a 0.1 level of significance, we would like to test whether or not the average room price is significantly different from $110. The population standard deviation is known to be $16. A sample of 64 hotels was selected. The test statistic (z) is calculated and it is -1.38.

    We conclude that the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta is NOT significantly different from $110. (Enter 1 if the conclusion is correct. Enter 0 if the conclusion is wrong.)

We are told that economy is growing and that such growth benefits all of us. However, what you see is not what you always get.

 
 
We are told that economy is growing and that such growth benefits all of us. However, what you see is not what you always get. Most people are experiencing declining economic security in response to the problems of the global system. Thus, many communities have turned to Local Exchange Systems (LESs) to help regain some control over their economic situations.
 
Local exchange systems (LESs) come in many forms. They often involve the creation of a local currency, or a system of bartering labour, or trading of agricultural products as a means of supporting the region in which they are traded. Such a system helps preserve the viability of local economies. Local currencies allow communities to diversify their economies, reinvest resources back into their region and reduce dependence on the highly concentrated and unstable global economy. Each local currency system serves as an exchange bank for skills and resources that individuals in the community are willing to trade. Whether in the form of paper money, service credits, or other units, a local currency facilitates the exchange of services and resources among the members of a community.
 
By providing incentives for local trade, communities help their small businesses and reduce under-employment by providing the jobs within the community. In addition, the local exchange of food and seeds promotes environmental conservation and community food security. Local food production reduces wasteful transportation and promotes self-reliance and genetic diversity. Each transaction within a local exchange system strengthens the community fabric as neighbours interact and meet one another.
 
There are over 1,000 local exchange programs worldwide more than 30 local paper currencies in North America and at least 800 Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS) throughout Europe. New Zealand and Australia Local Exchange Systems vary and evolve in accordance with the needs and circumstances of the local area. This diversity is critical to the success of the local currencies. For instance, a bank in rural Massachusetts refused to lend a farmer the money needed to make it through the winter. In response, the farmer decided to print his own money Berkshire Farm Preserve Notes. In winter, customers buy the notes for $9 and they may redeem them in the summer for $10 worth of vegetables. The system enabled the community to help a farm family after being abandoned by the centralised monetary system. As small family farms continue to disappear at an alarming rate, local currencies provide tools for communities to bind together, support their local food growers and maintain their local food suppliers.
 
Local Exchange Systems are not limited to developed countries. Rural areas of Asia, Latin America and Africa have offered some of the most effective and important programs, by adopting agriculture-based systems of exchange rather than monetary ones in order to preserve genetic diversity, economic security and independence.
 
Industrial seed and chemical companies have a similar role. Many villages have developed seed saving exchange banks. For example, women in Ladakh village have begun to collect and exchange rare seeds selected for their ability to grow in a harsh mountain climate. This exchange system protects agriculture diversity while promoting self-reliance.
 
There is no one blueprint for a local exchange system, which is exactly why they are successful vehicles for localisation and sustainability. They promote local economic diversity and regional self-reliance while responding to a region’s specific needs. Local exchange systems play a pivotal role in creating models for sustainable societies. They are an effective educational too, raising awareness about the global financial system and local economic matters. Local exchange systems also demonstrate that tangible, creative solutions exist and that communities can empower themselves to address global problems.

A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film, and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is x-bar1=1.13 and s1=0.11, while for the 20-mil film, the data yield x-bar2=1.08 and s2=0.09. Note that an increase in film speed would lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch.

(a) Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use a=0.10 and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally distributed. What is the P-value for this test? Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

The data ___support/do not support___ the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film. The P-value is _______.

(b) Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two means that can be used to test the claim in part (a). Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

_______ <= mu1 - mu2 <= _______

Complete the proof for the claim that any open ball B(x0,r) in Euclidean space Rn is homeomorphic to Rn.

proof is given below the theorem. Show that suggested map g is in fact homeomorphism.

Theorem: Let X0, X1, and X2 be topological spaces and let f: X0 -> X1 and g : X1 -> X2 be continuous functions. Then g∘f : X0 -> X2 is continuous.

proof : Suppose that V is open in X2. Since g is continuous, g-1(V) is open in X1. Since f is continuous, f-1(g-1(V)) = (g∘f)-1(V) is open in X0. It follows that g∘f is continuous.
