To make a table to show the expected length of Audrey’s hair in each of first 4 years
a.

Answer to Problem 55STP
The table for the expected length of Audrey’s hair in each of first 4 years is
Year | Length |
In 1st year | 10 inches |
In 2nd year | 13 inches |
In 3rd year | 16 inches |
In 4th year | 19 inches |
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Audrey’s hair is 7 inches long and is expected to grow at an average rate of 3 inches per year
Audrey’s hair grow 3 inches per year so,
After 1 year its length will be =
After 2 years its length will be =
After 3 years its length will be =
After 4 years its length will be =
The table for the length Audrey’s hair can be obtained as,
Year | Length |
In 1st year | 10 inches |
In 2nd year | 13 inches |
In 3rd year | 16 inches |
In 4th year | 19 inches |
Therefore, the table is for length of Audrey’s hair of first 4 years is obtained
b.
To write the function that can be used to determine the length of Audrey’s hair after each year
b.

Answer to Problem 55STP
The function that can be used to determine the length of Audrey’s hair after each year is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Audrey’s hair is 7 inches long and is expected to grow at an average rate of 3 inches per year
Since Audrey’s hair is 7 inches long and expected to grow 3 inches every year so its expression can be written as,
Here,
Therefore, the obtained function is
c.
To determine the length of Audrey’s hair after 9 years if she does not get a hair cut
c.

Answer to Problem 55STP
The length of Audrey’s hair after 9 years will be 34 inches
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Audrey’s hair is 7 inches long and is expected to grow at an average rate of 3 inches per year
Each year Audrey’s hair is expected to grow 3 inches so length of her hair after 9 years can be obtained as,
After 1 year its length will be =
After 2 years its length will be =
After 3 years its length will be =
After 4 years its length will be =
After 5 years its length will be =
After 6 years its length will be =
After 7 years its length will be =
After 8 years its length will be =
After 9 years its length will be =
Therefore, the length of Audrey’s hair after 9 years will be 34 inches

- Assume that you fancy polynomial splines, while you actually need ƒ(t) = e²/3 – 1 for t€ [−1, 1]. See the figure for a plot of f(t). Your goal is to approximate f(t) with an inter- polating polynomial spline of degree d that is given as sa(t) = • Σk=0 Pd,k bd,k(t) so that sd(tk) = = Pd,k for tk = −1 + 2 (given d > 0) with basis functions bd,k(t) = Σi±0 Cd,k,i = • The special case of d 0 is trivial: the only basis function b0,0 (t) is constant 1 and so(t) is thus constant po,0 for all t = [−1, 1]. ...9 The d+1 basis functions bd,k (t) form a ba- sis Bd {ba,o(t), ba,1(t), bd,d(t)} of the function space of all possible sα (t) functions. Clearly, you wish to find out, which of them given a particular maximal degree d is the best-possible approximation of f(t) in the least- squares sense. _ 1 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6 -0.7 -0.8 -0.9 -1 function f(t) = exp((2t)/3) - 1 to project -1 -0.9 -0.8 -0.7 -0.6 -0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5…arrow_forwardAn image processor considered a 750×750 pixels large subset of an image and converted it into gray-scale, resulting in matrix gIn - a false-color visualization of gIn is shown in the top-left below. He prepared a two-dim. box filter f1 as a 25×25 matrix with only the 5×5 values in the middle being non-zero – this filter is shown in the top-middle position below. He then convolved £1 with itself to get £2, before convolving £2 with itself to get f3. In both of the steps, he maintained the 25×25 size. Next, he convolved gIn with £3 to get gl. Which of the six panels below shows g1? Argue by explaining all the steps, so far: What did the image processor do when preparing ₤3? What image processing operation (from gin to g1) did he prepare and what's the effect that can be seen? Next, he convolved the rows of f3 with filter 1/2 (-1, 8, 0, -8, 1) to get f4 - you find a visualization of filter f 4 below. He then convolved gIn with f4 to get g2 and you can find the result shown below. What…arrow_forward3ur Colors are enchanting and elusive. A multitude of color systems has been proposed over a three-digits number of years - maybe more than the number of purposes that they serve... - Everyone knows the additive RGB color system – we usually serve light-emitting IT components like monitors with colors in that system. Here, we use c = (r, g, b) RGB with r, g, bЄ [0,1] to describe a color c. = T For printing, however, we usually use the subtractive CMY color system. The same color c becomes c = (c, m, y) CMY (1-c, 1-m, 1-y) RGB Note how we use subscripts to indicate with coordinate system the coordinates correspond to. Explain, why it is not possible to find a linear transformation between RGB and CMY coordinates. Farbenlehr c von Goethe Erster Band. Roſt einen Defte mit fergen up Tübingen, is et 3.
