Using a graphing utility, draw a
scatter diagram of the data, treating speed as the independent variable. What type of relation appears to exist between speed and miles per gallon?Based on your response to part (a), Find either a linear model or a quadratic model that describes the relation between speed and miles per gallon?

- c) Sketch the grap 109. Hearing Impairments. The following function approximates the number N, in millions, of hearing-impaired Americans as a function of age x: N(x) = -0.00006x³ + 0.006x2 -0.1x+1.9. a) Find the relative maximum and minimum of this function. b) Find the point of inflection of this function. Sketch the graph of N(x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 80.arrow_forwardThe purpose of this problem is to solve the following PDE using a numerical simulation. { af (t, x) + (1 − x)= - Ət af 10²ƒ + მე 2 მე2 = 0 f(ln(2), x) = ex (a) The equation above corresponds to a Feynman-Kac formula. Identify the stochastic process (X)20 and the expectation that would correspond to f(t, x) explicitly. (b) Use a numerical simulation of (X+) above to approximate the values of f(0, x) at 20 discrete points for x, uniformly spaced in the interval [0,2]. Submit a graph of your solution. (c) How would you proceed to estimate the function f(0.1, x). (Briefly explain your method, you do not need to do it.) Extra question: You can explicitly determine the function in (b) (either as a conditional expectation or by solving the PDE). Compare the theoretical answer to your solution.arrow_forwardA sequence is given by the formula an = n/2n^2 +1 . Show the sequence is monotone decreasing for n >1.
