Thousands of jokes have been told about marriage and divorce. Exercises 61-68 are based on the following observations:
• "By all means, marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher. "—Socrates
• "My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met." — Rodney Dangerfield
• "Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age. As your beauty fades, so will his eyesight."—Phyllis Diller
• "Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? Because they're worth it." — Henny Youngman
• "I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry." — Rita Rudner
• "For a while we pondered whether to take a vacation or get a divorce. We decided that a trip to Bermuda is over in two weeks, but a divorce is something you always have."— Woody Allen
In how many ways can people select their favorite joke told by a woman (Rudner or Diller) and their three favorite jokes told by a man?

- If f(x)=x2+4, g(x)=x-6, h(x)=sq root of x, then (f o g o h)(x)=arrow_forwardYou are given a plane Π in R3 defined by two vectors, p1 and p2, and a subspace W in R3 spanned by twovectors, w1 and w2. Your task is to project the plane Π onto the subspace W.First, answer the question of what the projection matrix is that projects onto the subspace W and how toapply it to find the desired projection. Second, approach the task in a different way by using the Gram-Schmidtmethod to find an orthonormal basis for subspace W, before then using the resulting basis vectors for theprojection. Last, compare the results obtained from both methodsarrow_forwardGiven f(x)=1/x-1 and g(x)=1/x+3, the domain of f(g(x)) in interval notation.arrow_forward
