H: "uniquely written" definition I'm having troubles with this definition: My problem is with the uniquely part, for example the zero element: $0=0+0$, but $0=0+0+0$ or $0=0+0+0+0+0+0$. Another example, if $m \in \sum_{i=1}^{10} G_i$ and $m=g_1+g_2$, with $g_1\in G_1$ and $g_2\in G_2$, we have: $m=g_1+g_2$ or $m=g...

H: Trigonometric Anti-derivative What is $$\int \frac{\sin(x)^2}{\cos(x) + 1}dx\;?$$ I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get it into a form that I can solve. AI: Note that $$\frac{\sin^2x}{1+\cos x}=\frac{1+\cos x}{1+\cos x}(1-\cos x)$$ since $1-\cos^2x=\sin ^2x$ and $1-y^2=(1-y)(1+y)$
H: Why $\int_{0}^{\pi}\arctan{\cos{x}}dx = 0$? I saw this in Ron Gordon's answer to this question: I need assistance in integrating $ \frac{x \sin x}{1+(\cos x)^2}$ Thank you! AI: Odd around $\pi/2.$ That is, given $f(x) = \arctan \cos x,$ we have $f(\pi - x) = -f(x).$ Draw a graph.

H: If $x^2+ax+b=0$ has a rational root, show that it is in fact an integer I have tried as follows. Please help to double check the proof! Thank you! Since $x=p/q$ ($p$, $q$ are integers), $(p/q)^2+(p/q)a+b=0$ So, $(p/q)^2=-b-a(p/q)$ then, $p^2=-bq^2-a(p/q)q^2$ and, $p = \dfrac {q(-bq-a(p/q)q)}{p}$ now, it is clear th...
H: Is $\Bbb{Q}\cap [0,1]$ not connected? Motivation: My textbook states that a connected subset of a normal space is mapped to all of $[0,1]$ if it has non-empty intersections with disjoint closed sets, one of which is mapped to $\{0\}$ and the other mapped to $\{1\}$. This is because the image of a connected set has ...

Working : $$B = \cot 66^{\circ} \cot78^{\circ} = 1- \frac{...
H: What is the splitting field of $x^3 - \pi$? What is the splitting field of $x^3 - \pi$? Is it $\mathbb R(\sqrt[3] \pi, \xi_3)$ or $\mathbb Q(\sqrt[3] \pi, \xi_3)$? (where $\xi_3$ denotes the third root of unity) It is a polynomial over $\mathbb R[x]$, so I guess it must be $\mathbb R(\sqrt[3] \pi, \xi_3)$, but I ne...
H: Intersection of non-independent events Let $A_1,\dots, A_n$ be not necessarily independent events. What can be said about the relation between $\mathbb{P}(\cap A_i)$ and $\prod_i^n \mathbb{P}(A_i)$? AI: Not very much, in general. Consider a coin tossed just once. Let $A_1$ be the event that it's heads, and $A_2$ be...
H: Is there a non-saturated measure? Let $(X, \mathcal {M}, \mu) $be a measure space. A subset $E$ of $X$ is locally measurable, if for each $B \in \mathcal M$ with $\mu (B) < \infty$, we have $E \cap B \in \mathcal M$. The measure $\mu$ is saturated if every locally measurable set is measurable. Is there a non-satura...
H: How to prove this simple inequality? Please help me to prove this inequality. Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are independent and $EX=EY=0$, then we must have $E(|X|) \leq E(|X+Y|)$. Thanks. AI: The condition $EX=0$ is not necessary. Since the absolute value function is convex, by Jensen's inequality for conditional expectatio...
H: Prove $\int_0^{\infty}\! \frac{\mathbb{d}x}{1+x^n}=\frac{\pi}{n \sin\frac{\pi}{n}}$ using real analysis techniques only I have found a proof using complex analysis techniques (contour integral, residue theorem, etc.) that shows $$\int_0^{\infty}\! \frac{\mathbb{d}x}{1+x^n}=\frac{\pi}{n \sin\frac{\pi}{n}}$$ for $n\i...
H: What is the expected number of ice creams that the saloon can still sell until the first customer who wants chocolate has to be dissapointed? An ice saloon sells ice creams with one, two, or three scoops. Customers can choose from ten tastes, but you may also choose for more than one scoop with the same taste. The ...
H: Describing a set using linear inequalities I am having a hard time understanding the answer to the following exercise (which was taken from "Linear Optimization and Extensions: Problems and Solutions" by Padberg and Alevras). My problem lies in the last sentence of the answer. I know that: $$\left| {x_j^ + - x_j...
H: Complex Analysis Advice Could anyone advise on this problem? Let $g(z$) be an analytic function in punctured ball $B(z_1, R) - \{z_1\}$ and let $N$ be a fixed non-negative integer such that $\lim_{z\rightarrow\ z_1}(z- z_1) ^{m}g(z)=0$ $\forall m > N$, and $\lim_{z\rightarrow\ z_1}(z- z_1)^{n}g(z)= \infty$ $\forall...
H: Properties of amenable groups Let $G$ be an amenable countable group. Why does every subgroup and homomorphic image of $G$ is amenable? Further more, if $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$, and both $N$ and $G/N$ are amenable, why does $G$ must be amenable? AI: V. Runde, Lectures on Amenability. Springer, 2002 (Lecture...
H: Bott periodicity and homotopy groups of spheres I studied Bott periodicity theorem for unitary group $U(n)$ and ortogonl group O$(n)$ using Milnor's book "Morse Theory". Is there a method, using this theorem, to calculate $\pi_{k}(S^{n})$? (For example $U(1) \simeq S^1$, so $\pi_1(S^1)\simeq \mathbb{Z}$). AI: In ge...
H: T/F: $\vdash _{NDFOL}\forall x(B \to A) \to(\exists x B \to A)$ I need to decide whether the above holds or not. I know that $\vdash _{HFOL}\forall x(B \to A) \to(\exists x B \to A)$, and if $T=\emptyset$, $T\vdash _{HFOL}\varphi$ then $T\vdash _{NDFOL} \varphi$. Is it enought to say that $\vdash _{NDFOL}\forall x(...
H: Closedness of $L^\infty_+$ in $\sigma(L^\infty,L^1)$ Let $L^\infty_+$ be the set of all $f\in L^\infty$ which are non negative. Our measure can be assumed to be finite. My goal is to prove that $L^\infty_+$ is closed in the weak-star topology $\sigma(L^\infty,L^1)$. Hence I view $L^\infty$ as the dual of $L^1$. We ...
H: How many students were there if a total of 870 photographs were exchanged After the graduation exercises at school, the students exchanged photographs with each others. How many students were there if a total of $870$ photographs were exchanged ? My attempt: I used the combination formula $^nC_r$ where $n = 870$...
H: Integrate $\frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}+1}$ by power-law How to evaluate the following integral by power-law? $$\int\dfrac{x-1}{\sqrt{x}+1}\,\mathrm dx$$ Here is my solution which is apparently wrong: $$\begin{align} \int\frac{x-1}{\sqrt x+1}\,\mathrm dx &= \int (x-1)(x^{1/2}+1)^{-1}\,\mathrm dx \\ &= \frac23 x\sqrt x+\fra...
H: Hyperplane - explanation of theorem needed For any subset $W$ of $\mathbb{R^n}$ the following are equivalent: W is a hyperplane in $\mathbb{R^n}$; There is a non-zero $a$ in $\mathbb{R^n}$ such that $W = \{x ∈ \mathbb{R^n} : x\cdot a = 0\}$; There are scalars $a_1, . . . , a_n$, not all zero, such that $W = \{(x_...

H: How can one calculate this diferential equation $y\ dy = 4x(y^2+1)^2\ dx \text{ and } y(0) = 1$ I'm trying: $\dfrac{y\ dy}{ (y^2+1)^2 }= 4x\ dx$ but I can't figure out what to do now. AI: Good start, you separated the variables. Now integrate. For the integral of the left-hand side, make the substitution $u=y^2+1$...

Let $G_{n,p}, n\in \mathbb{N}, p\in(0,1)$ be the binomial random graph, i.e. a graph on $n$ vertices where an edge is in $G_{n,p}$ with probability $p$. Also, let $q\in (0,1)$.
