    Simple statistics combinations/permutation problem

    Seemed a bit too large... So for the total, you would add up all 3 combinations that can generate correct? and for b), it would be the exact same approach but the totals would decrease by the amounts specified? Thanks for the help.

    Simple statistics combinations/permutation problem

    Opps done it slightly wrong, I'll just do i). (6,4,1) using combinations and multiplicative rule. = C(9,6)*C(8,4)*C(3,1) =17,640 Seems a bit wrong...

    Help evaluating Definite Integral

    Nope, this is a fourth year optimization course. This question came out of approximating a function using a polynomial which lead to all this matrix index integral evaluation. Always seem to get tricked up with the simple calculus >< Yes, you guys are right, I don't know why I typed + instead...

    Help evaluating Definite Integral

    Homework Statement Hi guys, need help evaluating this integral. Integrate from -1 to 1 (t^i)(t^5-t^4) dt Where i just an arbitrary variable, (it's actually an index number of a matrix) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So I thought I would begin by expanding...

    Fitting least square approximations

    Homework Statement Attached Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Thanks in advance for the help. The problem I'm having is not so much as to how to solve the problem, but how to proceed using MATLAB. I'm having trouble figuring out how to enter in the respective...

    Least squares/normal equations problem

    Hey, thanks for your reply. There were a bit of info attached to the homework sheet. I've attached the background that was given to us. However, it doesn't specify a certain f so I assume it's arbitrary? It would be easier for me to attempt the question if I knew where to begin...

    Least squares/normal equations problem

    Homework Statement Attached Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm quite confused in what this problem is trying to ask, what would the matrices A's entries consist of? Would it be easier to work backwards from the summation to get to the normal equation? Any...

    Simple function substitution question

    Opps, V(p) is suppose to be an indirect function which should be the same as B(p,x), but given the x=f(y), we can substitute in and out to get an 'indirect version of the same function' but in terms of p alone.

    Simple function substitution question

    Homework Statement if I had a function such that B(p, y) = py - c(y) and then knowing that y=y(p), does that mean B(p) = p^2 - c(p)? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

    Matlab, code to eval Jacobian Matrix numerically

    Homework Statement The question is in 5 parts all mainly to do with Newton's Method, I've done parts a,b,d and e, but am struggling with the understanding of part c. They have given us the code but unsure as to how to modify my own code to suit the question. Another problem is I don't...

    Solving Matrix/Error Proof? Get a Hint Here!

    Homework Statement Not too sure what this proof would be under, but am pretty sure it has to do with approximation errors, can anyone give me a hint as to how to even start this? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution For the first one, my guess at the solution would...
