H: A basis for a subspace of $\mathbb R^3$ I have the following question: Find the basis of the following subspace in $\mathbb R^3$: $$2x+4y-3z=0$$ This is what I was given. So what I have tried is to place it in to a matrix $[2,4,-3,0]$ but this was more confusing after getting the matrix $[1,2,-3/2,0]$. This was...

There are of course a lot ...
H: Decompose the group $U_{60}$ as direct product of cyclic groups Decompose the following group as a direct product of cyclic groups: $U_{60}$. Here is what i've done so far: $60 = 2\cdot2\cdot5\cdot3$. Therefore the answers are $U_{60} \cong C_2\times C_2\times C_3\times C_5$ or $U_{60}\cong C_4\times C_3\times C_5$...

H: Understanding mathematics imprecisely For a long time, it has been a complete mystery to me how any of my peers understood any math at all with anything short of filling in every detail, being careful about every set theoretic detail down to the axioms. That's a slight exaggeration, but I certainly did much worse ...

H: Showing that the matrix transformation $T(f) = x*f'(x)+f''(x)$ is linear I want to show that the following matrix transformation is linear. $T(f) = x*f'(x)+f''(x)$ I know I have to show that $T(f+g) = T(f) + T(g)$ but I don't understand what $T(f+g)$ will look like. Is $T(f+g) = x*(f'(x)+g'(x))+(f''(x)+(g''(x))$ th...
H: A question on inverse functions Let $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ is a strictly increasing function and $f^{-1}$ is its inverse function. It satisfies: $f(x_1)+x_1=a$; $f^{-1}(x_2)+x_2=a$. What is the value of $x_1+x_2$? Thanks for your help. AI: It seems the following. Since the function $f$ is strictly increasing...
H: If every irreducible element in $D$ is prime, then $D$ has the unique factorization property. Suppose every irreducible element in a domain $D$ is prime. I'm trying to prove this implication: In a integral domain $D$, if $a=c_1c_2...c_n$ and $a=d_1d_2...d_m$ ($c_i,d_i$ irreducible), then $n=m$ and up to order $c...
H: Every function is the sum of an even function and an odd function in a unique way It is known that every function $f(x)$ defined on the interval $(-a,a)$ can be represented as the sum of an even function and an odd function. However How do you prove that this representation is unique? Thanks for your help. AI: If...
H: $f'(x)=f(x)$ and $f(0)=0$ implies that $f(x)=0$ formal proof How can I prove that if a function is such that $f'(x)=f(x)$ and also $f(0)=0$ then $f(x)=0$ for every $x$. I have an idea but it's too long, I want to know if there is a simple way to do it. Thanks! Obviously in a formal way. AI: An implicit assumption i...
H: List the set of points of discontinuity of piecewise function List the set of points of discontinuity of $f:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb R$, defined by $$f(x)=\begin{cases}x-[x]\text{ if [x] is even}\\1-x+[x]\text{ if [x] is odd}\end{cases}$$ AI: We see $$x\in(0,1), \text{floor}(x)=0 ~~~~~\text{so}~~~f(x)=x$$ $$x\in[1,2), ...
H: Why $L$ is the eigenspace of $L_A$? $A=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\begin{pmatrix} 1&2\\2&-1 \end{pmatrix}$ Let $L_A$ be a reflection of $R^2$ about a line $L$ through the origin. Then $L$ is the one dimensional eigenspace of $L_A$ corresponding to the eigenvalue 1. I know the eigenvalues are 1,-1. But why it should be 1? A...
H: Numbers of students registered for various courses I have a probability problem that I’m struggling with. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the problem: A class has 28 students. In this class, each student is registered in 2 languages courses (at most) chosen among English, German or Spanish. The number of stu...
H: How to simplify $a^n - b^n$? How to simplify $a^n - b^n$? If it would be $(a+b)^n$, then I could use the binomial theorem, but it's a bit different, and I have no idea how to solve it. Thanks in advance. AI: If you are looking for this??? $$ a^n-b^n=(a-b)\Big(\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a^{n-1-i}b^i\Big) $$
H: Is this series convergent? $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{(\log n)^2}{n^2}$ $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac{(\log n)^2}{n^2}$ I guess it is convergent, so I apply comparsion test for this. $\frac{log^2}{n^2} < \frac{n^2}{n^2} = 1$ So it is bounded by 1 and hence it is convergent. Can I do in this way? It kind of make sens...
H: A question on a periodic function Let $f(x)$ be a bounded real function on $\mathbb R$ and for any $x \in \mathbb R$ $$ f(x+\frac{13} {42})+f(x)=f(x+\frac16)+f(x+\frac17) \tag1. $$ What is the fastest way to compute the period of the function? Thanks for your help. AI: Without any extra assumptions on $f$, you can ...
H: How to prove two subspaces are complementary To give some context, I'm continuing my question here. Let $U$ be a vector space over a field $F$ and $p, q: U \rightarrow U$ linear maps. Assume $p+q = \text{id}_U$ and $pq=0$. Let $K=\ker(p)$ and $L=\ker(q)$. From the previous question, it is proven that $p^2=p$, $qp=0...
H: Representing a real valued function as a sum of odd and even functions With $f(x)$ being a real valued function we can write it as a sum of an odd function $m(x)$ and an even function $n(x)$: $f(x)=m(x)+n(x)$ Write an equation for $f(-x)$ in terms of $m(x)$ and $n(x)$: My attempt using the properties - even ...

How can I do it? Btw. I will use it in a software which I am developing as a term project. So, I am looking for a programmab...
H: Integral inequality, $f$ continuous, increasing function Let $f$ be a continuous, increasing function on $[a,b]$, $c$ is the middle of $[a,b]$. Prove that $\frac{f(a)+f(c)}{2} \le \frac{1}{b-a} \cdot \int _a ^b f(x)dx \le \frac{f(b)+f(c)}{2} $ . Could you help me with that? I thought I may use intermediate value t...

H: How to check if $x^TCx\geq0$? I have the next 3x3 block matrix C, where each block is a square matrix. $$ C = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & A & B \\ 0 & A+K_1 & B \\ 0 & A & B+K_2 \end{bmatrix}, $$ where $K_i$ is also a squared diagonal matrix (I have freedom choosing their elements). I want to be sure that $x^TCx \geq 0$ ch...
H: Finding a basis with Change of Basis Find the coordinate vector for v relative to the basis S = {v1, v2, v3} for $R^3$. $$v = (2,-1,3);$$ $$v1 = (1,0,0); v2 = (2,2,0); v3 = (3,3,3);$$ So I did and I got the coordinate vector space as (v)s = (3, -2, 1). I do not believe that this answer is wrong. So now I am a...
H: What happens outside radius of convergence A real power series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^n$ has radius of convergence $R$. I am able to prove that for any real number $r>R$, the sequence $|a_n|r^n$ must be unbounded. Must it also tend to $\infty$? Please give me some hints, thanks. AI: Let $a_n=\frac{1}{n!}$ for $n$...
