(a)
To Describe: Is the set of whole numbers closed under subtraction? If not give counterexample.
(a)

Answer to Problem 47HP
No
Explanation of Solution
Given: If you take any two whole numbers and add them together the sum is always a whole number. This is a closure property for addition. The set of whole numbers is closed under addition.
No, set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction
For example:

- You are provided with three 2D data points, p1, p2 and p3. Solving A C = B for C provides youwith the coefficients of a natural cubic spline curve that interpolates these points.Additionally, you have been given A and B, but some elements are missing. Moreover, the last two rowsof A are entirely absent. Your task is to determine and fill in the missing elements. For the last two rows,enforce a zero tangent at the beginning (in p1) and a not-a-knot boundary condition in p2. The matricesA and B are given as follows:Explain how to find the entries of A and B . How would you adapt these matrices if the data pointswere 3D? What if your spline should go through five data points? How many “extra rows” would there thenbe (with “extra” meaning “in addition to securing C2-continuity”)?arrow_forwardWhich graph represents f(x) = √x-2+3?arrow_forwardPractice Assignment 5.6 Rational Functions M Practice Assig Practice Assignment 5.6 Rational Functions Score: 120/150 Answered: 12/15 Question 10 A Write an equation for the function graphed below 5 + 4 1 2 H + + -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 2 34567 | -2 ర y = Question Help: Video Message instructor Post to forum Submit Questionarrow_forward
