Using properties evaluate the following definite integrals, evaluate the following: int_2^8 |x-5|dx

Answer»

SOLUTION :`|X-5|` = `{ x-5, x ge 5
-(x-5), x LT 5}`
therefore `int_2^8 |x-5| dx`
=`int_2^5 (5-x)dx + int_5^8 (x-5) dx`
=`(5X-x^2/2)_2^5 + (x^2/2 -5x)_5^8`
`(25-(25)/2)-(10-4/2)+((64)/2 - 40)-((25)/2 -25)`

Draw the graph of f(x) = log_(e)(sqrt(1-x^(2))-x)

Answer»

Solution :We have `y=f(X)=log_(e)(sqrt(1-x^(2)-x))`
`f(x)` is defined if `sqrt(1-x^(2)) - x gt 0` and `1-x^(2) ge0`
For `1-x^(2) ge0 , -1 le x le1`
`sqrt(1-x^(2))-x gt 0`
For (0,1),
`1-x^(2)gt x^(2)`
or `0 lt x lt 1/sqrt(2)`
THUS, the domain of the function is `[-1, 1/sqrt(2)]`
`f^(')(x) = ((-x/sqrt(1-x^(2)))-1)/(sqrt(1-x^(2))-x)`
`=(-x-sqrt(1-x^(2)))/((sqrt(1-x^(2))sqrt(1-x^(2))-x)`
`f^(')(x)=0 therefore -x=sqrt(1-x^(2)`
`therefore x=-1/sqrt(2)`
`f^(')(x) gt 0` for `x in (-1,-1/sqrt(2))`
`f^(')(x) lt 0` for `x in (-1/sqrt(2), 1/sqrt(2))`
So `x=-1/sqrt(2)` is the point of maxima.
`f(-1) = f(0)=0`
`underset(x to 1/sqrt(2))"lim"log_(e)(sqrt(1-x^(2))-x) =- infty (therefore underset(x to 1/sqrt(2))"lim"(sqrt(1-x^(2))-x)=0)`
Thus, `x=1/sqrt(2)` is an asymptote.
From the above discussion, the GRAPH of the function is as shows in the following FIGURE.

If overline (x_(2)) " and" overline (x_(2)) are the means of two distributions such that overline (x_(1)) lt overline (x_(2)) "and" overline (x) is the mean of the combined distriubtion, then

Answer»

`overline (x) LT overline (x_(1))`
`overline (x) gt overline (x_(2))`
`overline (x)=(overline (x_(1))+overline (x_(2)))/(2)`
`overline (x_(1)) lt overline (x) lt overline (x_(2))`

Solution :Let `n_(1) " and" n_(2)` be the number of observations in two groups having MEANS `overline(x_(1)) " and" overline (x_(2))`, RESPECTIVELY. Then,
`overline (x)=(n_(1)overline(x_(1))+n_(2)overline(x_(2)))/(n_(1)+n_(2))`
Now, `overline (x)-overline(x_(1))=(n_(1)overline(x_(1))+n_(2)overline(x_(2)))/(n_(1)-n_(2))-overline(x_(1))`
` =(n_(2)(overline(x_(2))-overline(x_(1))))/(n_(1)+n_(2)) gt 0 "" [because overline(x_(2))gt overline(x_(1))]`
`implies overline(x) gt overline(x_(1))`,
and`overline(x)-overline(x_(2))=(N(overline(x_(1))-overline(x_(2))))/(n_(1)+n_(2)) lt 0 "" [ because overline(x_(2)) gt overline(x_(1))]`
`implies overline (x) lt overline (x_(2))`
From (1) and (2), `overline(x_(1)) lt overline(x) lt overline(x_(2))`.
