I was wondering if there was a "formula" or an "identity" for $\cos(x^2)$, as there is for $\cos(2x)$. My question is closely related to this one, which was only asking for $\cos(ab)$. For instance $$\cos(x^2)= \frac{\cos^3(x)+\sin^3(x)}{2\cos^2(x)+2016}$$ could be such a formula. More precisely, I would like to know ...
In many commutative algebra texts, Noether Normalization Lemma is proved and then Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is obtained as a corollary. Nullstellensatz and Normalization Lemma seem to be non-trivial theorems in their own right. So, can we prove Noether Normalization Lemma after assuming Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.
$$\lim_{n \to \infty }\int_{0}^{n}\frac{n \cdot e^{\frac{x}{n}}}{x^4+n^2}dx=?$$ I am allowed to used all the classical techniques of calculus, and this was a question from measure theory when we were studying theorem of dominated convergence, monotonic convergence. Usually I would prove that some $f_n(x)$ is rising and...
Want to show $$\displaystyle\bigcup^\infty_{k=1}\left(\bigcap^\infty_{n=1}A_{k,n}\right)\subset\bigcap^\infty_{n=1}\left(\bigcup^\infty_{k=1}A_{k,n}\right)$$ Note the bottoms are $k=1,n=1$ and $n=1,k=1$, rather than $k\geq n, n=1$; $n\geq k,k=1$. I did it via the same way like $\limsup$ and $\liminf$, but failed. $\dis...
I have been struggling with this problem, and I think it should be possible to solve but right now I cannot find how. Given two coordinates/points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the angle formed by legs d1 and d2 is 90°. What are the lengths of d1 and d2? Any help would be appreciated.
The integration of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind has the following value, $$\int T_{n}(x) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \, \left( \frac{T_{n+1}(x)}{n+1} - \frac{T_{n-1}(x)}{n-1} \right)$$ what happens when n=1? We have zero division. Best, Mohd
Consider the integral: $I$= $\int_2^{\infty} f(x)g(x) \mathrm{d}x $, where $f(x)$ and$g(x)$ are nonconstant functions. Assuming that this integral exists, does this necessarily mean that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are differentiable functions of $x$ ? Personally, i think the answer is yes, since we can't evaluate $I$ by integra...

I'm uncertain about my proof about this exercise regarding nilpotent groups. If someone could me help me out, that would be appreciated. There's a post about this problem, but it uses another definition. A group $G$ is called nilpotent if $C^n (G)=\left\{1\right\}$ for some $n\geq 1$, where $C^1(G):=G$ and $C^{i+1}(G):...
Suppose $R$ is a finite ring. It may be commutative or it may be not. Let $x \in R$. Show that there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $x^n = x^{2n}$. Is it true that $x^{k!} = x^{2k!}$, where $k = |R|$? In the first part should we take random $x$ and consider its powers, then use pigeonhole principle, to show...
Prove the convergence of the sequence $(z_n)$ such that : $$ z_1=\frac{3}{2}$$ $$z_{n}=\sqrt{3z_{n-1}-2}$$ for every $ n \geq 2$. Calculate also the limit. I have applied induction: $$\frac{3}{2} \le z_n \le 2 \ \ \ \ \forall n \in\mathbb{N}$$ The sequence is strictly increasing and it's also bounded so it converges ...
Let $\{X(t)\}$ be birth-death process on a finite state {0,1,2} with non negative birth rates $(\lambda_0,\lambda_1)$and death rates $(\mu_1,\mu_2)$. Suppose $\mathbb{P}(X(0)=0)=1$ and $s_0=\inf \{t\geq0:X(t)=1\}$ and $s = \inf\{t\geq s_0:X(t)=0\}$. How to calculate the $\mathbb{E}[s]$?
Good day. I am trying to solve the following equation: $$\ddot{y}(x)-\frac{A}{x}\dot{y}(x)+\frac{Bx^2}{2}y(x)=0.$$ WolframAlpha says it is an Emden‐Fowler equation, but I have no idea how to solve this. Can you give me some tips? In case of $$A=B/2=1$$ WolframALpha gives an analytical solution $$y(x)=c_1 sin\frac{x^2}{...
I'm trying to integrate the 2-form $\omega = A(y) dx \wedge dy - dx \wedge dz + B(z)dz \wedge dy $ in the set $R_f=\{(x,y,z),\quad z=f(x,y)\quad x^2+y^2 \neq 1 \}$ with $f$ a differentiable function from $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x,y)=0$ for $(x,y)$ such that $x^2+y^2=1$. To do this I found $\theta = ...
We need to find the maximum point of the curve, M. I know that we must find the $dy/dx$ of the equation of the curve and set it to $0$. However, I'm having trouble differentiating the equation. I'm aware of the product/quotient rule, but didn't get the correct answer despite trying several times.
Let $A$ be a C*-algebra. Any representation $\pi:A\to B(H)$ is uniquely extended to a $w^*$-continuous representation $\tilde{\pi}:A^{**}\to B(H)$. Q: I am looking for an example of a faithful representation $\pi$ such that $\tilde{\pi}$ is no longer faithful.
Let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. Is $\pi(x)$ differentiable ? My attempt: It is well known that $\log \zeta(s) = \int_{2}^{\infty} \dfrac{s\pi(x)}{x(x^s - x)} \mathrm d{x}$ where $\Re(s)\geq 2$. Since we can't integrate this by parts without differentiating $\pi(x)$, the answer seems to be y...
I'm trying to find the $\gcd$ of $A:= x^4 - x^3 + x^2 - x + 1$ and $B:= x^2 + 2$. Using the Euclidean algorithm, I've found $$(x^4 - x^3 + x^2 - x + 1)=(x^2 - x - 1)(x^2 + 2) + (x + 3)$$ and $$(x^2 + 2)=(x - 3)(x + 3) + 11$$ Do I then need to continue using the algorithm to get \begin{align} (x + 3)&=(x/11)(11) + 3\...
The connection of the line bundle $\mathcal{O}(1)$ on $\mathbb{CP}^1$ is given by \begin{equation} A=\frac{i}{2}\frac{\overline{z} \, dz-z\,d\overline{z}}{1+|z|^2} \end{equation} This follows since the first Chern class is represented by the curvature \begin{equation} \frac{i}{2\pi}idA=\frac{i}{2\pi}\frac{dz\wedge d\...
Given a decreasing sequence $a_n$ of positive real numbers, for $x>0$ define $$ f(x)=\sum_n \min\left(\frac{x}{a_n}, \frac{a_n}{x}\right). $$ Can $a_n$ be chosen so that $f(x)\to 0$ as $x\to 0$?

I am working on trying to prove this claim: Consider a nonzero vector v in Rn. What is the dimension of the space of all vectors in Rn that are perpendicular to v? I think I intuitively understand it. Through orthogonal projection, one dimension collapses, resulting in a dimension of n-1. But, what would a more rigoro...

In my real analysis text, an example of proof by induction is given by proving that for any real $x\ge 0$ and all integers $n\ge 0$ $$(1+x)^n \ge 1+nx+\frac {n(n-1)}2x^2$$ I can follow and understand the proof but then the next line after the proof is It follows that $$(1+x)^n\ge 1+nx$$ and $$(1+x)^n \gt \frac{n(n-1)}...
Recently I am reading Manfredo do Carmo's Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces. He said the $q$ is the conjugate point of $p$ with respect to a geodesic $\gamma$ joining the two points if there exists a Jacobi field which vanishes on the $p$ and $q$. (Here he assumes all the surfaces are complete). He gives thi...

If we have $G = GL_2(R)$, $H = SL_2(R)$ and $A \in G$ such that $\det A = 2$. We have to prove that $AH$ is the set of all $2 \times 2$ matrices in G that have determinant 2. Can we simply say, oke $AH = \{AB : B \in SL_2(R)\} = \{AB : \det B=1\} = \{C=AB : \det C = \det A \cdot \det B = 2\}$ or am I missing something?...

We consider such $a\in\mathbb N$, $b\in\mathbb Z$, o numbers of the form $2^na+b$ is square to the largest possible number of values of $n=1,2,3,4,\ldots$. It is easy to see that for $a = 60 $, $ b = -119 $ produced four squares: $2a+b=1=1^2$, $4a+b=121=11^2$, $8a+b=361=19^2$, $16a+b=841=29^2$. The next value $ 32a + ...

I know this is generally possible for the the composition of one function. Perhaps there is a special form of f that permits t...

Explain how $56.42(4+3)^2=5642$ can be a true statement. I understand that we essentially need $(4+3)^2$ to act as $100$ in order for $56.42$ to become $5642$. However, if we operate in base $7$ and treat $4+3$ as $10$, then $100$ would not be the same result. Please advise.

Let $h\in L^1[0,1]$. Prove that there is a unique solution (almost everywhere) of the following integral equation: $$f(x)=h(x)+\frac{1}{2}\int_0^x\log(1+f(y)^2)dy$$ The idea is to use the fixed-point theorem for Banach spaces. So let's consider the map: $$T:L^1[0,1]\to L^1[0,1],f(x)\mapsto h(x)+\frac{1}{2}\int_0^x\log(...

In school i sometimes run on some excercises where you need to calculate something that has an inverse function in it but you cannot find the inverse and you need to work your way around it.

I already know that $f_{n+m}=f_{n-1}f_m + f_nf_{m+1}$. By letting $m=n$ it immediately follows that $f_{2n}=f_{n}(f_{n+1} + f_{n-1})$ and from that we get $f_{2n}=f^2_{n+1} - f^2_{n-1}$. From this one should be able to see that $f_{3n}=f^3_{n+1} + f^3_n - f^3_{n-1}$, but I somehow can't figure it out.

Find the value of $y$ in $11y \equiv 14 \pmod{19}$. My issue is not with finding a solution. Using the Euclidean algorithm and Bezout's identity I get a final expression of: $$(11)(7)(14) - (19)(4)(14) = 14$$ which equals $$(11)(98) - (19)(56) = 14$$ which would imply $y = 98$, which checks out. But the text got a so...

I need to show that $$\sum\limits_{k=i}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i} = \binom{n}{i}2^{n-i}$$ I know that $\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i}$ is counting the number of ways to pick $k$ elements from $n$ and then $i$ elements from those $k$, so $\displaystyle \sum\limits_{k=i}^{n}\binom{n}{k}\binom{k}{i}$ is counting...
How would I solve the limit $\lim_{z \rightarrow 0} \frac{ \sin ||z||_p}{||z||_p}$ ? Note that $p \in [1,\infty]$.
I had thought the inflection points were also critical points, though the sources I read say critical points of $f(x)$ are where: $f'(x) = 0$ http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CriticalPoi... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_p... I have a question asking about the critical points of a cubic and the minimum maximum v...
Suppose $P(|X| < 1) = 1$ and $P(|Y| = 2) = 1$. Then which of the following is true? The standard deviation of $X$ is smaller than that of $Y$. The mean of $X$ is smaller than that of $Y$. The variance of $X$ is larger than that of $Y$. The median of $X$ is equal to the median of $Y$. None of the above is correct. Sin...
I think something like the following statement is true, but I don't recall a reference. Suppose $f(x,y)\in k[[x,y]]$ is power series with no constant or linear terms. Then, if the quadratic terms factor into a product of linear terms, the entire power series factors. I know I'm missing a condition, because $y^2-x^3$ i...
Solve the system of equations $$\begin{cases}163-400z\sin{x}&=0\\-135z+85\cos{x}+61&=0\end{cases}$$ What is the best way of going about this? I rearranged the second equation for $z$ and then substituted it into the first one to find $$163-400\left(\frac{1}{135}(85\cos{x}+61)\right)\sin{x}=0$$ $$\implies 22005 - 34000\...
In another thread it was proved that transposition as a linear map is diagonalizable. This, however, does not hold when we are working over a field of characteristic 2. I suppose the proof of this can be a bit tricky. Any hints?
I know this may sound too simple or maybe too absurd to discuss, but I am having a hard time visualizing a point in space! In Euclid's Elements a 'Point' is defined as Something which has no part. Now, any geometrical figure viz. Line Segment,Triangle,Square etc. can be said to be composed of points. No matter how smal...
Can someone tell me how to calculate the order of a) $LU$ decomposition as well as b) Gaussian elimination of a square matrix $A$? I am at a loss ... Given:: $A$ is a $n\times n$ matrix and ultimate aim is to find a solution set of $Ax=b$. I couldn't solve the first part but for the 2nd part, I think the number of ba...
I wanted to find the approximate average of all real points in $(x)^{x}$ from $[-4,-2]$. This means I am ignoring all real inputs that give a complex output and need average to be a real number. To first solve this I found the following defined sets of $x^x$ when $x<0$. $$x=-\frac{2m}{2k+1}|m,k\in\mathbb{Z}$$ $$x=-\f...
I think it is true that any power of a logarithm, no matter how big, will eventually grow slower than a linear function with positive slope. Is it true that for any exponent $m>0$ (no matter how big we make $m$), the function $f(x)$ $$f(x)=(\ln x)^m$$ will eventually always be less than $g(x) = x$ ? I am pretty sure th...
$C$ is a convex object in the plane. $D_1,\dots,D_n$ are pairwise-disjoint convex subsets of $C$ such that $D_1\cup\dots\cup D_n \subsetneq C$, like this: Is it always possible to partition $C$ to $n$ convex subsets, $E_1,\dots,E_n$, such that $E_1\cup\dots\cup E_n = C$, and for every $i=1,\dots,n$: $D_i \subseteq E_i...
I have the following topology over $\mathbb R$ $$ T = \{\emptyset\} \cup \{G\subseteq \mathbb R: \mathbb Q \setminus G \text{ is finite}\} $$ How could I study the closure of $\mathbb Q$ and $\mathbb R\setminus \mathbb Q$? Thanks in advance
I am currently reading a proof in which a fact is used without proof: For a Banach space $X$ and a bounded linear operator $T: X \to X$, $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \| T^n \|^{\frac{1}{n}} = \inf_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \| T^n \|^{\frac{1}{n}}. $$ Do we have to show that the sequence $(\| T^n \|^{\frac{1}{n}} )_{n \in \ma...
Why is this limit non-existant? $\lim_{(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)} \frac{ e^{x+y} - x - y}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}$ I can't seem to find $2$ different paths that would show it is non-existant.
Is there any requirement that the two operations of a ring have to be related to each other, excluding the requirement of distributivity? We all know from grade school that multiplication of integers is repeated addition, and we also know that the integers form a ring under addition and multiplication. Are there any ...
