H: Triple integral using spherical coordinates The following function is given: $$\iiint_{x^2+y^2+z^2\leq z} \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}dx\,dy\,dz$$ And I have to calculate this integral using spherical coordinates. The substitutions are standard, I think, but I am having a problem with the limits. $$0\leq\phi\leq\pi$$$$0\leq\...

AI: Hint: The first equation actuall...
H: Calculus and line integrals What's the difference between $\int_C f\,ds$ and $\int_C F \cdot dr$? And is $\int_C P \, dx+\int_C Q\,dy$ just notation for $\int_C f\,ds$?. I am referring here to Section 13.2 from James Stewart's Essential Calculus and trying to understand this very basic thing. It seems like there ...
H: Orthogonality of Haar wavelet functions I'm reading about wavelets and I bumped into the follwing: $\text{Haar wavelet is a step function}\; \psi(x), \text{which takes values 1 and -1, when}\; x \;\text{is in the ranges}\; [0, \frac{1}{2}) \;\text{and}\; [\frac{1}{2}, 1).$ $\text{Dilations and translations of the H...
H: Line integrals of given curves This question has an integral $$\int(x^4+4xy^3)dx+(6x^2y^2-5y^4)dy$$to be evaluated on the parametric curve $$C:(-(t+2)\cos(\pi t^2), t-1)$$I took the partial derivatives of the terms in the bracket and subtracted them to get $0$. However, this is not the right answer. I don't know an...
H: Infinite dimensional euclidian space with the product topology metrizable? Let $\mathbb{R}^{\omega}$ be the space of real sequenes with the product topology. Is $\mathbb{R}^{\omega}$ metrizable? AI: Hint: As $\mathbb{R}$ is homeomorphic to $(0 , 2^{-n} )$ for all $n \geq 1$, it follows that $\mathbb{R}^\omega$ (wit...
H: Prove that $\sqrt[3]{p}$, $\sqrt[3]{q}$ and $\sqrt[3]{r}$ cannot be in the same arithmetic progression My cousin (he doesn't speak English well so I am writing on his behalf) is trying to do the following problem: Let $p$,$q$, $r$ be different primes (let's assume $p<q<r$). Show that $\sqrt[3]{p}$, $\sqrt[3]{q}$ an...
H: Are all metric translations isometries Let $(M, d)$ be a metric space. I define a translation of $M$ to be a function $f$ from $M$ to $M$ such that $d(x, f(x)) = d(y, f(y))$ for all $x$ and $y$ in $M$. My conjecture is that every translation on $M$ is an isometry under the same metric. Can anyone prove this, or gi...
H: Show that $(y-2x+3)^3=(y-x+1)^2$ is a solution of the differential equation $(2x-4y)dx+(x+y-3)dy=0$ I want to show that $$(y-2x+3)^3=(y-x+1)^2$$ is a solution for: $$(2x-4y)dx+(x+y-3)dy=0$$ what I did so far is: $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4y-2x}{x+y-3}$$ any suggestions? AI: $(y-2x+3)^3=(y-x+1)^2$ differentiating this ...
H: Show that $7$ is irreducible in $\Bbb Z[i]$ I have to show that $7$ is irreducible in $\Bbb Z[i]$. To show irreducibility I have to show that it's not a unit. This is simple to just show exhaustively. I'm having trouble with the second part which is to show that if it factors into $a.b$ that either $a$ or $b$ is a ...
H: Uniform continuous distributions - question with a square RV Question: Jack wants to build a wooden cylinder, He decided to choose it's radius (Y) randomly s.t $Y\sim U[0,1]$. a. What is the probability that the radius is in a closed interval $[\alpha,\beta]$? what is Y's density function? b. What is the prob. that...
H: A question regarding lines between points. On pg.13 of Lang's "Second Course in Calculus", the following is asserted: Let $P=(2,1)$ and $A=(-1,5)$. Then the parametric equation of the line through $P$ and in the direction of $A$ gives us $x=2-t, y=1+5t$. Shouldn't the equations be $x=2+3t, =1-4t$? Thanks in advan...
H: $\mathbb{F}_{p}A$-module Yesterday I was introduced to the definition of a module in a course: "Homological Algebra". I'm doing a project involving $p-$groups and in the text I got from my supervisor they use the word: $\mathbb{F}_{p}A$-module. What does $\mathbb{F}_{p}A$-module mean? The problem is that the text ...
H: For $j \in \{0,...,n-1\}$ is $(n-j)!(j+1)! \leq n!$ true? For $j \in \{0,...,n-1\}$ is $(n-j)!(j+1)! \leq n!$ true? I mean $\dfrac{n!}{(n-j)!(j+1)!}$ doesn't have to be an integer. I need this inequality in another exercise, so Is it provable? AI: Hint: Compare $$ (n-j)!(j+1)!=1\cdot \ldots\cdot (n-j)\cdot 2 \cdot ...
H: Field extension $F\subseteq L_1$ and $F\subseteq L_2$ and $[L_1L_2:F]<[L_1:F][L_2:F]$. I'm searching for an example of field extensions $L1$, $L2$ of $F$ for which $[L_1L_2:F]<[L_1:F][L_2:F]$. Infact I'm trying prove the problem below. So any hint can be helpful. Let $K$ be a finite extension of $F$. If $L_1$ and ...
H: Geometric Solution for Equation with Complex Numbers Given we have two complex numbers $z_1$ and $z_2$ with $|z_1| = |z_2|$. How can it be shown geometrically, that $\frac{z_1+z_2}{z_1-z_2}$ is purely imaginery? AI: Consider the quadrilateral with vertices $0, z_1, z_1+z_2, z_2$. The condition $\lvert z_1\rvert = \...
H: Infinite series $\sum _{n=2}^{\infty } \frac{1}{n \log (n)}$ Recently, I encountered a problem about infinite series. So my question is how to know whether the infinite series $\sum _{n=2}^{\infty } \frac{1}{n \log (n)}$ is convergent? AI: To see whether $\sum_2^\infty 1/(n \log n)$ converges, we can use the integr...

H: Vector Space Dimension Let $A,B$ be $n\times m$, $s\times m$ matrices respectively, and let $$V=\{X\in \mathbb{F}^{m\times n};\ B X A=0\}.$$ Suppose that $$rank(A)=r,\ rank(B)=m.$$ Show that $dim V=m(n-r)$. I have no idea. AI: Note that from rank-nullity, we have $$m = \mathrm{rank}(B) + \mathrm{nullity}(B) = m + \...

AI: The sequence $\{x_n\}$ is bounded between $2$ and $\sqrt...

The equation $X^3=1_F$ has only one solution. Suppose F is finite, then the equation $X^3=1_F$ has only one solution. I'm pretty sure all of them a...
