Chapter 1.2, Problem 5E

Let f ( x ) = x 3 .

  1. Find the second Taylor polynomial P 2 ( x ) about x 0 = 0 .
  2. Find R 2 ( 0.5 ) and the actual error when using P 2 ( 0.5 ) to approximate f ( 0.5 ) .
  3. Repeat (a) with x 0 = 1 .
  4. Repeat (b) for the polynomial found in (c).

28. (a) Under what conditions do we say that two random variables X and Y are independent? (b) Demonstrate that if X and Y are independent, then it follows that E(XY) = E(X)E(Y); (e) Show by a counter example that the converse of (ii) is not necessarily true.
7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph with at least 6 vertices. Let C be a cycle in G of length 5. We show how to find a longer cycle in G. (a) Let x be a vertex of G that is not on C. Show that there are three C-paths Po, P1, P2 that are disjoint except at the shared initial vertex and only intersect C at their final vertices. (b) Show that at least two of P0, P1, P2 have final vertices that are adjacent along C. (c) Combine two of Po, P1, P2 with C to produce a cycle in G that is longer than C.
1. Let X and Y be random variables and suppose that A = F. Prove that Z XI(A)+YI(A) is a random variable.
