    Cdf of continous RV transformation

    Homework Statement Let f(x)= 2x , 0<x<1 , zero elsewhere, be the pdf of X. Compute the cdf of Y=1/X Homework Equations cdf of X = p(X< x) The Attempt at a Solution P(1/X <= y) = P(X <= 1/y) int 2x from 0 to 1/y = x^2 eval from 0 to 1/y = 1/y^2 so the cdf is 1/y^2...

    Intro Matlab Q, floating point system

    why can't i use something like this on matlab? for a=0:1 for c=0:1 for w=-1:1 for E=-2:2 x=w.*(1+ (a/2)+(c/4)).*2.^E end

    Intro Matlab Q, floating point system

    Hi, yes, i understand the question pretty well i think I know that the aj will be 0 or 1, and I thought binary then indicated that, Ao = 1? So wouldn't it be x= +/- ( 1 + A1 / 2 + A2 /4 ) 2 ^ E ? wouldn't that mean there would be 2*2*2*5 = 40 solns? Additionally, I think I can solve...

    Intro Matlab Q, floating point system

    I can't elimate matlab, i am required to use matlab. b= base = 2, p = precision L and U are the boundaries of value exponent L<E<U and the overall equations is x= +/- (a0 + a1/b + a2/b^2)*b^E So i need to find all the x for the given equation. But do it using matlab...

    Projectile, Finding Initial Velocity

    Here exactly what i did,,, sorry i should have written the whole thing out above. time till rocket reaches highest point = Vi(y)/9.8 So, distance from top of mountian to highest point = Vi(y)/2 * Vi(y)/ 9.8 = Vi(y)^2/19.6 Then, distance from ground to highest point = Vi(y)^2/19.6 +3220...

    Solving ODE Substitution: dy/dx= (4x sec(2y/x) +y) / x

    Homework Statement dy/dx= (4x sec(2y/x) +y) / x IC: y (1) = pi/4 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So i can split that up into 4xsec(2y/x)/x +y/x = 4sec(2y/x) +y/x and let v= y/x dy/dx = xdv/dx +v 4sec(2v) +v = xv' +v 4sec(2v)=xv' which is...
