To determine

To calculate: The solution of the inequality x2+2x3>0 by graphing.

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution:

The solution of the inequality x2+2x3>0 is {x|3>x or x>1} or (,3)(1,).

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The provided inequality is x2+2x3>0.

Formula used:

Steps to solve the inequality by graphing.

1. Replace the inequality sign by equal sign.

2. Find the leading coefficient in the inequality.

If the leading coefficient in the inequality is negative, then the graph opens down and if the leading coefficient is positive, then the graph opens up.

3. Set the polynomial equal to zero to find the x-intercept and also find y-intercept.

4. Plot the graph of the equation.

Zero product rule is such that if ab=0, then either a=0 or b=0.

Calculation:

Consider the inequality, x2+2x3>0

Now, the inequality x2+2x3>0 is represented as x2+2x3=0.

So, the equation becomes y=x2+2x3.

Put the equation equals to zero to find the x-intercepts,

x2+2x3=0x2+3xx3=0x(x+3)1(x+3)=0(x+3)(x1)=0

Use the zero product rule and simplify the above equation as,

x+3=0    or  x1=0x=3  or       x=1

The x-intercepts are (3,0) and (1,0).

The leading coefficient in the polynomial x2+2x3 is 1 which is positive due to which the graph opens upward.

Now, find the point where the graph intersects y-axis.

Substitute x=0 in the equation y=x2+2x3,

y=(0)2+2(0)3=3

So, the y-intercept is (0,3).

The table provided below shows the values of y for different values of x,

xy033010

The graph of the equation y=x2+2x3 is shown below:

Developmental Mathematics (9th Edition), Chapter L, Problem 1DE

From the observation of the graph, the values of y is positive when x is less than 3 or when x is greater than 1.

So, the values for which y be positive are x<3 or x>1.

Therefore, the solution of the inequality x2+2x3>0 is {x|3>x or x>1} or (,3)(1,).

6 (Model Selection, Estimation and Prediction of GARCH) Consider the daily returns rt of General Electric Company stock (ticker: "GE") from "2021-01-01" to "2024-03-31", comprising a total of 813 daily returns. Using the "fGarch" package of R, outputs of fitting three GARCH models to the returns are given at the end of this question. Model 1 ARCH (1) with standard normal innovations; Model 2 Model 3 GARCH (1, 1) with Student-t innovations; GARCH (2, 2) with Student-t innovations; Based on the outputs, answer the following questions. (a) What can be inferred from the Standardized Residual Tests conducted on Model 1? (b) Which model do you recommend for prediction between Model 2 and Model 3? Why? (c) Write down the fitted model for the model that you recommended in Part (b). (d) Using the model recommended in Part (b), predict the conditional volatility in the next trading day, specifically trading day 814.
