Ken played golf yesterday and shot 107. Considering that he normally shoots in the low 80’s or high 70’s, this round of golf really frustrated him. It was so frustrating that he decided to buy new golf clubs. But first he had to give his old golf clubs away. He gave half of his golf clubs, plus half a club more, to Daniel. Then he gave half of his remaining golf clubs to Gary. Then he gave half of his remaining golf clubs and half a club more to Will. This left Ken with one club (his putter), which he decided to keep. How many golf clubs did Ken start with before giving them away?
Must be answered by working backwards. No algebra.

Problem 7-19 (Algo) A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 2.5 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 16 seconds, exponentially distributed.
a. How many customers would you expect to see, on average, at the coffee urn? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. How long would you expect it to take to get a cup of coffee? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. What percentage of time is the urn being used? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
d. What is the probability that three or more people are in the cafeteria? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
e. If the cafeteria installs an automatic vendor that dispenses a cup of coffee at a constant time of 16 seconds, how many customers would you expect to see at the coffee urn (waiting and/or pouring coffee)? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
f. If the cafeteria installs an automatic vendor that dispenses a cup of coffee at a constant time of 16 seconds, how long would you expect it to take (in minutes) to get a cup of coffee, including waiting time? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is s (t) = 112 + 96t - 16t2 Complete the table and discuss the interpretation of each point. t s(t) Interpretation 0 0.5 1 2 100 100 200 200 Answer these questions. After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? After how many seconds will the ball pass the top of the building on its way down? How long will it take the ball to reach the maximum height? What is the maximum height?

The question is to use Matlab to find the clamped cubic spline v(x) that interpolates a function f(x) that satisfies: f(0)=0, f(1)=0.5, f(2)=2, f(3)=1.5, f'(0)=0.2, f'(3)=-1 and then plot v(x).
This is my code so far:
x = [0 1 2 3];
y = [0 0.5 2 1.5];
cs = spline(x,[0 y 0]);
xx = linspace(0,3,101);
figure()
plot(x,y,'o',xx,ppval(cs,xx),'-');
IS THIS RIGHT? HOW CAN I GET MATLAB TO GIVE ME THE EQUATION OF v(x)?

There exists a group G of order 8 having the following presentation: G=〈i,j,k | ij=k, jk=I, ki=j, i^2 =j^2 =k^2〉. Denotei2 bym. Showthat every element of G can be written in the form e, i, j, k, m, mi, mj, mk, and hence that these are precisely the distinct elements of G. Furthermore, write out the multiplication table for G (really, this should be going on while you do the first part of the problem).

Suppose we had defined some bijection f : N → Q +.
(a) Discuss how you could use f to prove that Q − is countably infinite. That is, define a new function h : N → Q − that uses f in some way. Discuss why using f makes h itself a bijection.
(b) Discuss how you could show that Q is countably infinite.
