Chapter 3.4, Problem 10P

  1. John says 2 3 + 3 3 = 4 6 and uses the drawing in Figure 3.30 as evidence. Discuss what is wrong with John’s reasoning. What underlying misconception does John have? Don’t just explain how to do the problem correctly; explain why John’s reasoning is faulty.
  2. Chapter 3.4, Problem 10P, John says 23+33=46 and uses the drawing in Figure 3.30 as evidence. Discuss what is wrong with

       Figure 3.30 Showing how 2 3 + 3 3 = 4 6 .

Example 1 Solve the heat equation initial-boundary-value problem U₁ =3xx (2,0)=2(x-2), u(0,t) = u(x, t)=0.
4.96 The  breaking  strengths  for  1-foot-square  samples  of  a  particular  synthetic  fabric  are  approximately  normally  distributed  with  a  mean  of  2,250  pounds  per  square  inch  (psi)  and  a  standard deviation of 10.2 psi. Find the probability of selecting a  1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15  1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15  1-foot sections of new fabric
Each of the following statements is an attempt to show that a given series is convergent or divergent using the Comparison Test (NOT the Limit Comparison Test.) For each statement, enter C (for "correct") if the argument is valid, or enter | (for "incorrect") if any part of the argument is flawed. (Note: if the conclusion is true but the argument that led to it was wrong, you must enter I.) ☐ 1. For all n > 1, seriesΣ In(n) In(n) converges. 2, 1, arctan(n) the series arctan(n) n³ ☐ 4. For all n > 1, 123 converges. 1 n ln(n) series In(n) diverges. 2n . and the seriesΣconverges, so by the Comparison Test, 2, 3, and the series converges, so by the Comparison Test, the series-3 1 converges. ☐ 6. For all n > 2, In(n) >, and the series Σ converges, so by the Comparison Test, the seriesΣ In(n) converges.
