(a)
To determine
To sketch:The graph of the continuous function.
(a)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A continuous function that is
Graph:
The sigma function is defined as the function which has the value -1for the negative argument and 0 when the argument is 0 and 1 for the positive argument.
The graph for the given continuous function
Interpretation:
From the graph it is obtained that the value -1 has negative argument and 1 has positive argument. The graph is increasing and decreasing with respect to the argument value.
(b)
To determine
To find:The formula for the function.

To determine the formula for the function as follows,
Consider the slope for (0.1.l) as 10, and the linear function for
The formula for the function is given below as,
(c)
To determine
The input have to be to 0 for the output to be within 0.1 for 0.
(c)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 27E
The input should be within -0.01 to 0.01 for the output to be within 0.1 to 0.

Pidgeonhole Principle
1. The floor of x, written [x], also called the integral part, integer part, or greatest integer, is defined
as the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Similarly the ceiling of x, written [x], is the smallest
integer greater than or equal to x. Try figuring out the answers to the following:
(a) [2.1]
(b) [2]
(c) [2.9]
(d) [2.1]
(e) [2]
(f) [2.9]
2. The simple pidgeonhole principle states that, if you have N places and k items (k> N), then at
least one hole must have more than one item in it. We tried this with chairs and students: Assume you
have N = 12 chairs and k = 18 students. Then at least one chair must have more than one student on
it.
3. The general pidgeonhole principle states that, if you have N places and k items, then at least one
hole must have [] items or more in it. Try this out with
(a) n = 10 chairs and k = 15 students
(b) n = 10 chairs and k = 23 students
(c) n = 10 chairs and k = 20 students

The everything combined problem
Suppose that a computer science laboratory has 15 workstations and 10 servers. A cable can be used to
directly connect a workstation to a server. For each server, only one direct connection to that server can be
active at any time.
1. How many cables would you need to connect each station to each server?
2. How many stations can be used at one time?
3. How many stations can not be used at any one time?
4. How many ways are there to pick 10 stations out of 15?
5. (This one is tricky) We want to guarantee that at any time any set of 10 or fewer workstations can
simultaneously access different servers via direct connections. What is the minimum number of direct
connections needed to achieve this goal?

(e) How about if you need members for a 4 person, a 5 person, and a 3 person committee, people can serve on more than one committee? (f) How about if you need members for a 4 person, a 5 person, and a 3 person committee, people cannot serve on more than one committee, and the first person chosen for each committee serves as chair?arrow_forwardQ4 3 Points 1 Let A = 2 3 7 5 11 Give one nontrivial solution X of the homogeneous system Ax = 0.

Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q3. The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is log (1.1). (i) For each given μ, use Lagrange multipliers to determine the proportions (as a function of μ) of wealth invested in the three assets available for the minimum variance portfolio with expected return μ. (ii) Determine the market portfolio in this market and calculate its Sharp ratio.arrow_forward
- 3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points. (ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.). (iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient frontier. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.arrow_forward2. A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility? Justify your answer. Hint. It might be…arrow_forwardPlease ensure that all parts of the question are answered thoroughly and clearly. Include a diagram to help explain answers. Make sure the explanation is easy to follow. Would appreciate work done written on paper. Thank you.arrow_forward
