what is Collatz conjecture?
Is Collatz conjecture always true?
What so special about 3x+1 ? ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Collatz Conjecture is one of the most intreging of all the possible simple statements in mathematics.

Simply put it says

if a number is even, divide by 2If a number is odd, multiply by 3 and add1. or 3x + 1The result will always wind up in a loop. Neat huh!!! Where you wind up going over the same numbers over and over. You can't escape the loop.

Try 5

It's odd so triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2. You get 22 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 4. You can see you wind up doing 4 2 1 forever. The Collatz conjecture has not been proved, but every number up to 2^68 has been shown to go to this loop eventually.

Try another one -- 15. On the 16th move it goes from 4 to 2 to 1 and then keeps on repeating those 3 digits.

Take 15It's odd. Triple it and add 1. That gives 46.46 is even. Divide by 223 which is odd. Triple it and add 1  = 7070 is even. Divide by 2. 3535 is odd. Triple and add 1.  106  which is even53 which is odd.  Triple it and add 1. You get 160160 is even. Divide by 2. You get 8080 is even Divide by 2. You get 4040 is even. Divide by 2. You get 2020 is even. Divide by 2. You get 1010 is even. Divide by 2. You get 55 is odd. Triple it and add 1. You get 1616 is even. Divide by 2. You get 88 is even. Divide by 2. You get 44 is even. Divide by 2.. You get 2.2 is even. Divide by 2. You get 11 is odd and you are in the loop because you get 4 which you have already done.

Question 13 plz show ALL STEPS

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some of the graphs:

Blue is g(x) and Green is f(x). The 2nd graph is for the 13b. It shows our graph after 1 transformation. The 3rd graph is after both transformations.

13a. Let use the following values in

[tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{x} [/tex]

We know by definition of rational function x cannot be zero.

Let find some values across interval 2 through 4.

[tex]f(2) = \frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]

[tex]f(3) = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

[tex]f(4) = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Let use the following values in

[tex]g(x) = \frac{3x - 1}{x - 1} [/tex]

By definition of rational function, x cannot be 1 because it will make the denominator zero. Let use some values across the interval 0 through 4.

[tex]g(0) = \frac{0 - 1}{0 - 1} = 1[/tex]

[tex]g(2) = \frac{3(2) - 1}{2 - 1} = {5} [/tex]

[tex]g(3) = \frac{8}{2} = 4[/tex]

[tex]g(4) = \frac{11}{3} [/tex]

So graph this in a table of values. I'll post a picture of the table of values on the top.

13b. We need to write g(x) as a transformation of f(x). If we look at the graphs, g(x) has a asymptote at x=1 while f(x) has a asymptote of 0. This means that we need to move f(x) to the right one unit or move (x-1) units.

We will upgrade the graph.

Now we can just add 3 to f(x) to get to g(x).

In the 3rd graph, notice how both graphs coincide. Our transformations is complete.

The answer is

[tex]g(x) = f(x - 1) + 3[/tex]

13c. We can say this as we move f(x) to the right 1 unit and shift f(x) up 3 units.

A cement mixture costs $33 a ton. It is composed of Grade A cement at $36 a ton and Grade B cement at
$24 a ton. How were these two cements mixed?

Answers

If we used “a” tons of grade A and “b” tons of grade B we would get a + b tons of mixture.
Converting to costs we get 36a + 24b = 33(a + b)
36a + 24b = 33a + 33b
36a - 33a = 33b - 24b
3a = 9b
a = 3b
This means the mixture contains 3 times as much of grade A than grade B
The ratio of grade A : grade B = 3 : 1

For example if we mixed 3 tons of A with 1 ton of B we would get 4 tons of mixture
The cost would be 3 x 36 + 1 x 24 = 108 + 24 = $132 for 4 tons = $33 per ton

The life of light bulbs is distributed normally. The standard deviation of the lifetime is 2525 hours and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 590590 hours. Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 622622 hours. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.8997 = 89.97% probability of a bulb lasting for at most 622 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 590 hours, standard deviation of 25 hours.

This means that [tex]\mu = 590, \sigma = 25[/tex]

Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 622 hours.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 622.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{622 - 590}{25}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997.

0.8997 = 89.97% probability of a bulb lasting for at most 622 hours.

From the information given in the exercise, we build the confidence interval and solve this question. First, we have to find the point estimate for the population proportion, then using this point estimate, and sample size, we build the confidence interval. According to the built confidence interval, question c is answered.

Item a:

522 out of 1005 indicated that television is a luxury that they could do without, so:

[tex]\pi = \frac{522}{1005} = 0.5194[/tex]

Thus, the point estimate for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is 0.5194.

Item b:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of .

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 1005,\pi = 0.5194[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5194 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5194*0.4806}{1005}} = 0.4885[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5194 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5194*0.4806}{1005}} = 0.5503[/tex]

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is (0.4885,0.5503). The interpretation is that:

We are  95% confident the proportion of adults in the country who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is between 0.4885 and 0.5503.

Item c:

It is possible, but unlikely that a supermajority of adults in the country believe that television is a luxury they could do without because the 95% confidence  interval does not contain 60%.

Length = 5

Width = 12

Diagonal line = 13

5 + 12 + 13 = perimeter

perimeter = 30

Answers

Answer:

The function [tex]f:\mathbb Z\to\mathbb Z,~f(x)=3x+4[/tex] is injective (one-to-one).

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of an injective function follows.

Let [tex]X,Y[/tex] be sets. Let [tex]f:X\to Y[/tex] be a function. We say [tex]f[/tex] is injective if, for all [tex]x,y\in X[/tex], [tex]f(x)=f(y)[/tex] implies [tex]x=y[/tex].

This is the proof that  [tex]f:\mathbb Z\to\mathbb Z,~f(x)=3x+4[/tex] is injective.

Let [tex]x,y\in\mathbb Z[/tex] and assume [tex]f(x)=f(y)[/tex]. This means [tex]3x+4=3y+4[/tex]. Subtracting [tex]4[/tex] gives [tex]3x=3y[/tex], then dividing by [tex]3[/tex] gives [tex]x=y[/tex]. Thus [tex]f[/tex] is injective.

Let A be the event that the person has 2 siblings, and let B be the event that the person does not have a pet.Which statement is true about whether A and B are independent events?A and B are independent events because P(AB) = P(A) = 0.18.A and B are independent events because P(AB) = P(A) = 0.4.A and B are not independent events because P(AB) = 0.4 and P(A) = 0.18.A and B are not independent events because P(AB) = 0.18 and P(A) = 0.4. Prior to invention of the telegraph, weather observations could not be made over large enough distances to recognize regional weather patterns. After the telegraph was introduced, data from multiple locations could be analyzed simultaneously, and scientists suddenly realized that weather systems operated on large scales, such as the migration of weather patterns from west to east. Which characteristic of good science does the preceding passage best illustrate? a) A valid scientific theory offers a well-defined cause or mechanism to explain natural events.b) Scientific explanations are provisional and subject to change with the addition of new data and technologies.c) Scientific explanations are based upon observations or experiments that are reproducible by many people.
