H: Inverse of the $y=x^x$ in implicit form? I want to find the inverse of the function $y=x^x$ in implicit form and not by using Lambert W function. Can you tell me how to find it? Thanks. AI: The Lambert $W$ function was precisely introduced to solve the equation $$y=xe^x$$ and those that can reduce to that form, suc...
H: Convergence of integral $\int_1^2 \frac{\sqrt{x}} {\ln(x)} \,dx $ I want to determine whether or not the integral $$\int_1^2 \frac{\sqrt{x}} {\ln(x)} \,dx $$ converges. I have tried things like $$\int_1^2 \frac{\sqrt{x}} {\ln(x)} \,dx \leq \int_1^2 \frac{2} {\ln(x)} dx ,$$ but I find myself unable to evaluate the l...
H: Uniform continuity implies continuity in topological vector spaces Let $E$ and $F$ be topological vector spaces and $A \subset E$. I want to prove that: if $f: A \longrightarrow F$ is a uniformly continuous function, then $f$ is continuous. I want that, by definition of uniformly continuous we have for all $V \in \...
H: Automorphism of vector space $V$ such that $\varphi(S_1)=S_2$ Let $V$ be a finite dimensional $K$-vector space. Let $S_1,S_2\subset V$ be subspaces such that $\dim S_1=\dim S_2=n$. Show there is an automorphism $\varphi:V\to V$ such that $\varphi(S_1)=S_2$. Let $\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}$ be a basis for $S_1$, and let $...
H: Is a collection of pairwise disjoint closed intervals countable? Attempt: If we argue the same way as we did for the case of open intervals: Since the closed intervals are disjoint, we can identify each closed interval with a rational number in that interval and since the rationals are countable, their subsets are ...
H: Contradiction problem from $P(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+ \dots+ a_0$ Prove that there is no polynomial $$P(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+ \dots+ a_0$$ with integer coefficients and of degree at least $1$ with the property that $P(0), P(1), P(2), \dots$ are all prime numbers. How should one approach this? Contradiction ...

Problem Compute $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \lim_{R \rightarrow \infty} \int_0^R \sin{(x/n)} \sin{(e^x)}dx$. Hint: I...
H: Find three vectors in ${R^3}$ such that the angle between all of them is pi/3? Is there a simple way to do this? I have found that ${(a.b)/|a||b|}$ must be equal to ${1/2}$ but from there I am stuck how to proceed. Any help? P.s. This is from the MIT 2016 Linear Algebra course and is not homework. AI: Diagonals of ...
H: Evaluate $f_n(\alpha,\beta)=\int_0^{\infty}\mathrm{e}^{-x^n}\sin(\alpha x)\cos(\beta x)\,dx$ I was just looking at the following function but couldn’t understand how to form a way of integrating this and how does it depend upon $n, \alpha$ and $\beta$ can anyone please help $$f_n(\alpha,\beta)=\int_0^{\infty}\mathr...
H: Transitive actions of $\mathbb{Z}_6$ on itself Two actions of $\mathbb{Z}_6$ on itself that we naturally might consider are $\overline{m} \cdot \overline{n} = \overline{m}+\overline{n}$, and $\overline{m} \cdot \overline{n} = \overline{n}-\overline{m}$. In fact these actions are isomorphic. On the other hand, we ca...
H: Uniform convergence of a sequence of functions which is integral of another sequence I was going through some questions on pointwise and uniform convergence. Got stuck in one of those which says: Let $g_n(x) = \sin^2(x+\frac{1}{n})$ be defined on $[0,\infty).$ and $f_n(x) = \int_0^xg_n(t)\,dt.$ I am supposed to dis...
H: Simplifying $a = \dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{x+3} $ Solving equations involving terms of the form $ \dfrac{3x}{6x^2} $ is easy. You can cancel the $x$ in the numerator and end up with: $ \dfrac{3}{6x} $. However, I am presented with an equation of the following form: $$a = \dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{x+3} $$ Where, $a$ is a constant. Tr...
H: How can I solve the differential equation $r'=r(1-r)$ I seperated the variables and decomposed the fraction to get $r(1-r)=ce^t$, but I don't know where to go from here. AI: $$\dfrac {dr}{r(1-r)}=dt$$ $$ \left({\dfrac 1 r- \dfrac 1{(r-1)}}\right)dr=dt$$ Integrate: $$\ln r -\ln (r-1)=t+c$$ $$\dfrac r {r-1}=ke^t$$ $$...
H: What is the error of a sine function defined using a unit polygon instead of a unit circle? I have made up a geometric definition for a function $\mathrm{polysin}(n, θ)$: Construct a regular polygon of $n$ sides. Place the first vertex at $(1,0)$ and place the rest going counterclockwise. Let a line through the or...
H: How can I prove this statement about mean and variance? How can I prove that: $$E(a) = a\, \text{ and }\, V(a) = 0?$$ AI: Suppose $X$ discrete random variable with constant value $a$. So distribution looks like$$a\space a \space ...a\\p_1\space p_2 \space... p_n$$ Then $$EX = \sum_{i=1}^{n} a \cdot p_i = a \cdot \s...
H: Does removing the "heaviest" edge of all cycles in an (unweighted) graph result in a minimum spanning tree? Background: A graph is connected if there is a path between all pairs of vertices. A graph has a cycle if there exists two vertices with an edge between them and a path between them that doesn’t use that edge...
H: Changing reduced partial sum into a multiplicative function I have a partial sum in the form of $$\sum_{\substack{n \leq x\\k|n}} f(n)$$ for a fixed $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ where $f(n)$ is a multiplicative function. Is there a way to reduce this partial sum into another sum such that I can exploit the multiplicative pr...
H: Is there a way to determine a function that could model the transformation of one function to another? Let's say I have a function centered at the origin, say $f(x)= x^2$, at an initial time. After some time has passed, the initial function $f(x)$ has transformed into a different function, say $g(x)=6x^7$. Is it ma...
H: If original set of vectors have zero mean, will the orthogonally projections of the vectors onto another vector have zero mean? Consider vectors $x_1, \cdots, x_n \in \mathbb{R}^m$. Define the vector $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^m$ to be the mean of the vectors: $$ \mu = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i $$ Assume that $\mu = 0$,...
H: Necessary and sufficient condition for $f_n$($x$) = $b_{n}x$+$c_{n}x^2$ to uniformly converge to zero Have been trying some questions on uniform and point-wise convergence of sequence of functions. Got stuck in this. I have to prove the following:- Let ($b$$_n$) and ($c$$_n$) be sequences of real numbers then $\su...
H: Algebra/number theory solution check, number of 0's at end of integer As part of a larger problem, I wish to calculate the value of $\frac{1993^2+1993}{2} \pmod {2000}$. The top reduces to $42$. However, $\gcd(2,2000)>1$, so the solution is not $21$, and carrying out the division would require changing the modulus....
H: A Map is continuous on the inverse image of the set $(-\infty,r]$. Does this inverse image a closed set? Let $U$ be a topological space and a map $g:U\to \mathbb{R}$. For a given $r\in\mathbb{R}$, define $E:= \{x\in U: g(x)\leq r\}$. If $g$ is continuous at every point of $E$, then Is it true that $E$ is closed set...
H: Multiobjective optimization I need some clarification on multi objective optimization. I would like to know if a problem has three objectives with completely different variables, should such a problem be solved as three independent single objective optimization problem or could the problem be solved using a mult...
H: If a function $f$ is $L$-periodic then $f'$ has $2$ zeros in $[0,L)$? Let $f: \mathbb{R} \longrightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a differentiable and odd function. If $f$ is periodic and the (minimal) period $L>0$, then $f'$ has $2$ zeros in $[0,L)$? For example, this occurs if we consider $f(x)=\sin(x)$, for all $x \in ...
H: Is $\forall x ((A = \{a | P(a)\} \wedge x \in A ) \rightarrow P(x))$ an axiom of some system? In section 1.3 of Vellemans's 'How to Prove it', the author states the following: "In general, the statement $y \in {x | P(x)}$ means the same thing as $P(y)$,..." I couldn't find a proof of this, and wondered if $\forall...
H: How to calculate average growth when it's negative? We have annual reports for company's revenue and can calculate annual growth as $yg = {y_{i+1} \over y_i}$. And then we can calculate the average monthly growth as $mg = ({y_{i+1} \over y_i})^{1 \over 12}$. So for reports 2000-12 $1m and 2001-12 $2m the average m...
H: Find the sequence $a_n$ so that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_nsin(nx) = f(x)$ where $f(x)$ is a piecewise function. Trying to solve a problem I reached a point where I know that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_nsin(nx) = f(x) \text{, where }f(x) = \begin{cases} x & 0 \leq x \leq \frac\pi2 \\[5pt] \pi - x & \frac\pi2 < x \leq \pi...
H: How do I find the sum of a power series $\underset{n=3}{\overset{\infty}{\sum}}\frac{x^n}{(n+1)!n\,3^{n-2}}$? I have found the area of convergence to be $ x \in (-\infty, \infty)$, and this is how far I had gotten before getting stuck: $$ \begin{aligned} \sum_{n=3}^{\infty} \frac{x^{n}}{(n+1) ! n 3^{n-2}} &=\sum_{k...
