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.

2. Consider the ODE u' = ƒ (u) = u² + r where r is a parameter that can take the values r = −1, −0.5, -0.1, 0.1. For each value of r: (a) Sketch ƒ(u) = u² + r and determine the equilibrium points. (b) Draw the phase line. (d) Determine the stability of the equilibrium points. (d) Plot the direction field and some sample solutions,i.e., u(t) (e) Describe how location of the equilibrium points and their stability change as you increase the parameter r. (f) Using the matlab program phaseline.m generate a solution for each value of r and the initial condition u(0) = 0.9. Print and turn in your result for r = −1. Do not forget to add a figure caption. (g) In the matlab program phaseline.m set the initial condition to u(0) = 1.1 and simulate the ode over the time interval t = [0, 10] for different values of r. What happens? Why? You do not need to turn in a plot for (g), just describe what happens.

The following are suggested designs for group sequential studies. Using PROCSEQDESIGN, provide the following for the design O’Brien Fleming and Pocock.• The critical boundary values for each analysis of the data• The expected sample sizes at each interim analysisAssume the standardized Z score method for calculating boundaries.Investigators are evaluating the success rate of a novel drug for treating a certain type ofbacterial wound infection. Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data. Assume thesignificance level is 5% and power is 90%.Besides, draw a combined boundary plot (OBF, POC, and HP)
