Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Textbook Question

Chapter 7.3, Problem 28MS

Dimensional thinking. The text defines the dimension of an object as follows. Suppose you have an object for which N copies can be assembled to construct a larger version of the object that has been scaled by a factor of S. The dimension of the object, called d, is the power we have to raise S to in order to obtain N. Thus, S, d, and N satisfy the equation S 4 = N . Suppose it takes 125 copies of an object of dimension 3 to make a larger version. What’s the scale factor being used? Suppose it takes 64 copies of a different object to create a copy twice as large. What’s the dimension of this object?

Students have asked these similar questions

Consider the proof below: Proposition: If m is an even integer, then 5m +4 is an even integer. Proof: We see that |5m+4=10n+4 = 2(5n+2). Therefore, 5m+4 is an even integer. **Note: you may assume the proof is valid, just poorly written. Based upon the Section 1.3 screencast and the reading assignment, select all writing guidelines that are missing in the proof. Proof begins by stating assumptions ✓ Proof has an invitational tone/uses collective pronouns Proof is written in complete sentences Each step is justified ☐ Proof has a clear conclusion

Note: The purpose of this problem below is to use computational techniques (Excelspreadsheet, Matlab, R, Python, etc.) and code the dynamic programming ideas seen inclass. Please provide the numerical answer to the questions as well as a sample of yourwork (spreadsheet, code file, etc.).We consider an N-period binomial model with the following properties: N = 60, thecurrent stock price is S0 = 1000; on each period, the stock price increases by 0.5% whenit moves up and decreases by 0.3% when it moves down. The annual interest rate on themoney market is 5%. (Notice that this model is a CRR model, which means that thebinomial tree is recombining.)(a) Find the price at time t0 = 0 of a (European) call option with strike price K = 1040and maturity T = 1 year.(b) Find the price at time t0 = 0 of a (European) put option with strike price K = 1040and maturity T = 1 year.(c) We consider now, that you are at time t5 (i.e. after 5 periods, which represents 1month later).
