Optimization

Optimization comes from the same root as "optimal". "Optimal" means the highest. When you do the optimization process, that is when you are "making it best" to maximize everything and to achieve optimal results, a set of parameters is the base for the se…

Integration

Integration means to sum the things. In mathematics, it is the branch of Calculus which is used to find the area under the curve. The operation subtraction is the inverse of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication. In the same way, integratio…

Application of Integration

In mathematics, the process of integration is used to compute complex area related problems. With the application of integration, solving area related problems, whether they are a curve, or a curve between lines, can be done easily.

Volume

In mathematics, we describe the term volume as a quantity that can express the total space that an object occupies at any point in time. Usually, volumes can only be calculated for 3-dimensional objects. By 3-dimensional or 3D objects, we mean objects th…

Area

Area refers to the amount of space a figure encloses and the number of square units that cover a shape. It is two-dimensional and is measured in square units.

[1 Mark] Identify which of the following subsets of R2 are closed and (a) A = [-1, 1] × (1, 3) (b) B = [-1, 1] x {1,3} (c) C = {(1/n², 1/n2) ER2 | n EN} Provide a sketch and a brief explanation to each of your answers. [6 Marks] (iii) Give an example of a closed set which does not have interior points. [3 Marks]

Function: y=xsinx Interval: [ 0 ; π ] Requirements: Draw the graphical form of the function. Show the coordinate axes (x and y). Choose the scale yourself and show it in the flowchart. Create a flowchart based on the algorithm. Write the program code in Python. Additional requirements: Each stage must be clearly shown in the flowchart. The program must plot the graph and save it in PNG format. Write the code in a modular way (functions and main section should be separate). Expected results: The graph of y=xsinx will be plotted in the interval [ 0 ; π ]. The algorithm and flowchart will be understandable and complete. When you test the code, a graph file in PNG format will be created.
