Riemann Sum

Riemann Sums is a special type of approximation of the area under a curve by dividing it into multiple simple shapes like rectangles or trapezoids and is used in integrals when finite sums are involved. Figuring out the area of a curve is complex hence t…

Riemann Integral

Bernhard Riemann's integral was the first systematic description of the integral of a function on an interval in the branch of mathematics known as real analysis.

In Problems 1 and 2 find the eigenfunctions and the equation that defines the eigenvalues for the given boundary-value problem. Use a CAS to approximate the first four eigenvalues A1, A2, A3, and A4. Give the eigenfunctions corresponding to these approximations. 1. y" + Ay = 0, y'(0) = 0, y(1) + y'(1) = 0

A normal distribution has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 4. Solve the following three parts? 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the answer of the second part.) 2. Compute the probability of a value greater than 55.0. Use the same formula, x=55 and subtract the answer from 1. 3. Compute the probability of a value between 52.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 52 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 52, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…

Assume that you fancy polynomial splines, while you actually need ƒ(t) = e²/3 – 1 for t€ [−1, 1]. See the figure for a plot of f(t). Your goal is to approximate f(t) with an inter- polating polynomial spline of degree d that is given as sa(t) = • Σk=0 Pd,k bd,k(t) so that sd(tk) = = Pd,k for tk = −1 + 2 (given d > 0) with basis functions bd,k(t) = Σi±0 Cd,k,i = • The special case of d 0 is trivial: the only basis function b0,0 (t) is constant 1 and so(t) is thus constant po,0 for all t = [−1, 1]. ...9 The d+1 basis functions bd,k (t) form a ba- sis Bd {ba,o(t), ba,1(t), bd,d(t)} of the function space of all possible sα (t) functions. Clearly, you wish to find out, which of them given a particular maximal degree d is the best-possible approximation of f(t) in the least- squares sense. _ 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6 -0.7 -0.8 -0.9 -1 function f(t) = exp((2t)/3) - 1 to project -1 -0.9 -0.8 -0.7 -0.6 -0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5…
