Function Definition and 1000 Threads

I tried graphing the function in the calculator, and the graph seems to have a horizontal asymptote at y=0, not at y=1. Why is this so? Thanks for helping out.

I started to understand how to apply Lagrange multiplier methods. But, for problem like this, I have difficulty to build the function to describe the volume that will be maximized. For the second question, I know from the example (in ML Boas) that ##V=8xyz## becase (x,y,z) is in the 1st octant...

Given the support [a, b] of a probability density function. How can I change the formula for the probability density function with a support [u, v]? Example: Given the beta distribution with support [a=0,b=1]: $$\frac{x^{p-1} (1-x)^{q-1}}{Beta(p,q)}$$ Then the beta distribution with support...

Let $a,\,b,\,c,\,d,\,e,\,f$ be real numbers such that the polynomial $P(x)=x^8-4x^7+7x^6+ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f$ factorizes into eight linear factors $x-x_i$ with $x_i>0$ for $i=1,\,2,\,\cdots,\,8$. Determine all possible values of $f$.

In quantum mechanics, we have the partition function Z[j] = e-W[j] = ∫ eiS+ jiOi. The propagator between two points 1 and 2 can be calculated as ## \frac{\delta}{\delta j_1}\frac{\delta}{\delta j_2} Z = \langle O_1 O_2 \rangle## The S in the path integral has been replaced by S → S + jiOi...

Solve $\{ \sin \lfloor x \rfloor \}+\{ \cos \lfloor x \rfloor \}=\{ \tan \lfloor x \rfloor \}$ for real solution(s).

One of the Peano Axioms specifies Sa = Sb --> a = b where S is the successor function. How does one establish from the axioms that S is, in fact, a function, that is the converse a = b --> Sa = Sb? Probably a very simple matter, but I would appreciate any help in clarifying. Many thanks...

Hi, I have a motor that i would like to rotate to a certain angle, in a controlled manner. During the movement, i want to update the final position I want to reach. The new updated function has to start with the same speed the initial function ended with I wan to find a function that does this...

I have a complicated function to integrate from -\infty to \infty . I = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{(2k^2 - \Omega^2)(I_0^2(\Omega) + I_2(\Omega)^2) - \Omega^2 I_0(\Omega) I_2(\Omega)}{\sqrt{k^2 - \Omega^2}} \Omega d\Omega Where I0I0 and I2I2 are functions containing Hankel functions as...

The correct solution is different than my answer, I am not sure where I am going wrong?

Plugging in the supposed ##G## into the delta function equation ##\nabla^2 G = -\frac{1}{4 \pi} \frac{1}{r^2} \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \left(\frac{r^2 \left(ikr e^{ikr} - e^{ikr} \right)}{r^2} \right)## ##= -\frac{1}{4 \pi} \frac{1}{r^2} \left[ike^{ikr} - rk^2 e^{ikr} - ike^{ikr} \right]##...

Hello and Good Afternoon! Today I need the help of respectable member of this forum on the topic of integrability. According to Mr. Michael Spivak: A function ##f## which is bounded on ##[a,b]## is integrable on ##[a,b]## if and only if $$ sup \{L (f,P) : \text{P belongs to the set of...

since the first term is ##g(0)= \frac {1}{3}## & last term is ##g(1)=\frac {4}{6}## it follows that the ##\sum_{0}^1 g(x)##= ##\frac {1}{3}##+##\frac {4}{6}=1## is this correct?

I want to find the analytical solution to the integral given below. \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{ sinc^2(\frac{k_yb}{2})}{\sqrt{k^2 - k_x^2 - k_y^2}}dk_y In other words, \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{ \sin^2(\frac{k_yb}{2})}{(\frac{k_yb}{2})^2\sqrt{k^2 - k_x^2 - k_y^2}}dk_y Can this be...

Hello, I want to know what is the incresing and decreasing interval of this even function $|e^x+e^{-x}|?$ If any member knows the correct answer, may reply to this question.

I am not sure about finding the limit of the integral when it comes to finding the CDF using the distribution function technique. I know that support of y is 0 ≤y<4, and it is not a one-to-one transformation. Now, I am confused with part b), finding the limits when calculating the cdf of Y...

Let $f$ be differentiable from $(-\inf,0)$ to $(0,\inf)$ and let $f'(x)<0$ for all real numbers except 0 and $f'(0)=0$. Prove that f is strictly decreasing.

I tried integration by parts with both ##u = x^2, dv = J_0 dx## and ##u = J_0, du = -J_1 dx, dv = x^2 dx.## But neither gets me in a very good place at all. With the first, I begin to get integrals within integrals, and with the second my powers of ##x## in the integral would keep growing...

Hi everyone, I'm new to PF and this is my second post, I'm taking a QFT course this semester and my teacher asked us to obtain: $$[\Phi(x,t), \dot{\Phi}(y,t) = iZ\delta^3(x-y)]$$ We're using the Otto Nachtman: Elementary Particle Physics but I've seen other books use this notation: $$[\Phi(x,t)...

Weierstrass function is the classic example of a continuous function which is nowhere differentiable. What happens when a function is monotone? My guess that it cannot be nowhere differentiable. It seems to me the reverse is true - it is differentiable almost everywhere. Any light on the...

I(k_x, k_y) = \int_{0}^{R} \int_{0}^{2\pi} J_{m-1}(\alpha \rho) \sin((m + 1) \phi) e^{j\rho(k_x \cos\phi + k_y \sin\phi)} \rho d\rho d\phi Is there any way to do it? J is the Bessel function of the first kind. I thought of partially doing only the phi integral as \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin((m + 1)...

Hi, I have this formula, What I want is to find the value of "x" (without trying all possibilities) so that the result of the formula will be the lowest possible value under the constraint when x !=0, and x<n. Here, values of A,B,C, Q, R,n are already known and fixed...

I'm trying to simulate a simple series reaction stochastically using Gillespie's algorithm. I found this file: What is this 'propensity function'? Say for example I have the simple reactions: A --(k1)--> R R--(k2)--> S are these 'propensity functions' the rates (a wild guess)? I mean; α1 =...

The movement in the z-direction is easy to solve for, as it's only affected by the gravitational force. However, if there's a magnetic field pointing down along the z-axis, the particle is going to be accelerated along the y-axis (F=q*v *B). The force is always going to be perpendicular to the...

I struggle to find an appropriate inverse Laplace transform of the following $$F(p)= 2^n a^n \frac{p^{n-1}}{(p+a)^{2n}}, \quad a>0.$$ WolframAlpha gives as an answer $$f(t)= 2^n a^n t^n \frac{_1F_1 (2n;n+1;-at)}{\Gamma(n+1)}, \quad (_1F_1 - \text{confluent hypergeometric function})$$ which...

I typed this up in Overleaf using MathJax. I'm self-studying so I just want to make sure I'm understanding each concept. For clarification, the notation f^{-1}(x) is referring to the inverse image of the function. I think everything else is pretty straight-forward from how I've written it. Thank...

Hey! :o I am looking at the following example of a continuous function $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is not differentiable at any $x\in \mathbb{R}$. For $x\in [-1,1]$ we define $\phi (x)=|x|$ and then we extend $\phi$ to the whole $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\phi (x+2)=\phi (x)$...

I have a problem asking to show that a certain function approaches a quadratic for large values of the variable. And I realize now that this is a skill with which I am totally unfamiliar. Can't use a Taylor series in y= 1/x because the value at y=0 is infinite. Would appreciate a recommended...

I’m using discriminant function analysis to determine the potential accuracy of several biometric measurements being used in conjunction for binary classification purposes for my BSc Biomed research project. Overall I've only got 110 data points so it's a stretch but hey, that's anatomy! What...

If there is no ##(-1)^2## factor, I can find the limit. But, now I have no idea how to find limit for the ##(-1)^\infty##. I thought ##(-1)^\infty## is an indeterminate form. So, how to modify this? Thanks!

Here is a pic of question My attempt-: I defined functions f(x-1) and f(x+1) using f(x).After defining them,I substituted their values in the equation f(x-1)+f(x+1)=sinA. For different ranges of x,I got different equations. For 1<x<2,I got 1-x=sinA. But now I am confused.For each different...

A very simple question but I can't find an answer. I have an expression which depends on two integers, n,d. Now, I want this expression to be a) 1 when d=n=0, b) some expression (that I won't write here) when both d and n are >0 c) zero when wither d or n negative. At first I defined the...

the integral is: and according to mathematica, it should evaluate to be: . So it looks like some sort of Gaussian integral, but I'm not sure how to get there. I tried turning the cos function into an exponential as well: however, I don't think this helps the issue much.
