    Deterministic Finite State Automaton Construction

    Homework Statement Find a simple DFA (i.e. deterministic finite automaton) that accepts all natural numbers n for which n mod 3 = 0. Hint: A natural number is divisible by 3 if its checksum (or sum of digits) is divisible by 3. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution...

    Piecewise function of the following function given

    Homework Statement Question: Rewrite the function f(x) =||x|-1| as a piecewise function. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried considering the following absolute value functions: 1)|x| |x| = x, if x \geq 0 = -x, if x < 0 2) |x-1| |x-1| = x-1, if x \geq...

    Equation of both lines that are tangent to the graph y=x^2

    Hey, thanks for the reply. But is there another approach to this problem, without the use of gradients (since it has not been taught yet in my calculus class)? Sorry about that. That's why, it's hard to recognize what you're trying to explain.

    Equation of both lines that are tangent to the graph y=x^2

    Homework Statement Question: Determine the equations of both lines that are tangent to the graph of f(x) = x2 and pass through point (1,-3). Homework Equations Some of the equations that I could use for this problem are: y-y1=m(x-x1) (Point-slope Equation) the derivative of the...

    Is 0 a number in the solution set?

    That would actually make sense. But I guess, for this particular homework, they want to train us on how to solve linear inequalities. That's why I was solving for the inequalities. For number 1, I tried placing zero on the inequality, and does not actually include zero as its solution in the...

    Is 0 a number in the solution set?

    Homework Statement Instructions: For the following inequalities, determine if 0 is a number in the solution set. 1) 3x \leq x+1 \leq x-1 2) x(2x-1) \leq x+7 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution 1) LS: 3x \leq x+1 3x-1 \leq x -1 \leq -3x -1/-2 \geq -2x/-2 1/2...
