I can't grasp this concept of an instantaneous change of rate. How could a point on a function graph have a rate of change in the first place? In this moment I just know that it is named the derivative and that it is the slope of the tangent line at that point. We can find that slope by finding the limit of closer and ...
Let $\mathcal F$ be a $\sigma$-algebra and $X_n$ RV s.t. $X_n$ is independent of $\mathcal F$ for all $n$. Also let $X_n \to X$ $\mathbb{P}-$a.s.. Is $X$ independent of $\mathcal F$ now too?
Given that R is an integral domain. I'm trying to prove that divisibility on this set constitutes a partial ordering. In particular, I have defined the relation $y \leq_{\,d} x$ on R by $y|x$. Reflexivity is, of course, very easy. Let $x \in R$ be arbitrary. Then, $x|x$ and as a result $x \leq_{\,d} x$. Anti-symmetry i...
The first $12$ natural numbers are given. Two distinct numbers are selected. What's the probability that their sum is divisible by $3$? This looks very easy. I know answer is $1/3$ but in spite of knowing permutations and combinations I had to find favourable cases. The numbers were few. What if we were given questio...
Assume you have defined variables $A$, $B$ and $C$ in the text. There is also a defined function $f$ that applies on those variables. In addition you may have some variables such as $\kappa_A$, $\kappa_B$ and etc. The question is, how to best express $f$ and $\kappa$ without repeating it for the three variables. I mea...
There are three parameters: $y_s=y[0]$ start value $y_t=y[n]$ target value $\alpha, 0>\alpha\leq1$ smoothness Starting at $y[0]=y_s$ the sequence is developed with this recursive formula: $y[i]=\alpha\cdot y[i-1]+(1-\alpha)\cdot y_t$ for $i>0$ It can be transformed to a non-recursive form: $y[i]=\alpha^i\cdot y_s+(1-...
I have 3 (not independent) events $A, B, C$ and I know everything about how any two of them correlate. For example, I know: $$ P[A], P[B], P[C], P[A,B], P[A,C], P[B,C], P[A|B], P[A|C], P[B|C], P[B|A], ...$$ Is there any way to use this information to calculate a correlation for the three of them, i.e. $$ P[A,B,C] \t...
Consider a dynamical system $x_{t+1} = F(x_t)$ defined in $\Omega$ and its natural measure to be $\mu$. The Perron-Frobenius operator $F$ maps the density $f$ in time according to $f_{t+1} = F(f_t)$. I'm interesting in knowing whether the operator has a unique and asymptotic distribution $f^*$ (think e.g. whether an at...
I started studying about binom's and sums, How do I calculate $$\sum_{k=0}^{33}\binom{33}{k} k$$ Note: I do know that it is $\binom{33}0\cdot0 + \binom{33}1 \cdot 1 + ... + \binom{33}{33} \cdot 33$, but how do I write it briefly?

We have $(T_l)_l$ a sequence of bounded linear operators from $\ell^2$ to $\ell^2$. $\bullet$ We say $(T_l)_l$ satisfies the property "A" if $\sup_{||x||_{\ell^2}=1}\sum_{l=1}^\infty||T_l(x)||^2<\infty$. $\bullet$ And we say that it satisfies the property "B" if $\sup_{N\in\mathbb{N}}\int_0^{2\pi} ||\sum_{l=1}^{N}e^{il...
Given a basis $U$, what conditions are needed for an orthogonal basis for it? For example, in the following vector space $U$, if $U =sp\{(1,1,1),(1,3,7)\}$ then what conditions are needed for an orthogonal basis for it? Is it enough to have a basis of dimension $2$ that's orthogonal? or are there more conditions? EDI...
Let $x,y\in \mathbb{R}$ and $\left| x \right| \ge \left| y \right|$. Can we say $\left| {x + y} \right| \ge \left| x \right| - \left| y \right|$?
$Tr(XY) = 1$ and $Tr(Y) = 1$ implies that $Tr(X) = 1$. I tried to prove by contradiction and switch the dummy variable of $X$ and $Y$. But I don't think my approach is right and if there is any much easier proof.

I have a $64$-card deck, with $4$ colours - red, green, blue, yellow, $4$ numbers - $1,2,3,4$ and $4$ letters A,B,C,D. So an example card could be yellow2D. I was attempting to calculate the probability of $4$ of a kind, i.e. $4$ green cards, $4$ $3$'s, etc... having been dealt $k$ cards. But I got all stuck!
I am ultimately trying to prove, for an Exercise in Burton's Elementary Number Theory, that $x^4 - y^4 = 2z^2$ has no solution in the positive integers. I can establish that if there is a solution, the solution with the smallest value of x has gcd(x,y)=1 I see that $x^4 - y^4 = (x^2 + y^2)(x^2 - y^2) = (x^2 + y^2)(x +...
Let $G$ be a finite group, although this may not be necessary for almost everything that follows. One of the ways of defining Galois homology groups is using the standard resolution for the $\mathbb{Z}$, explicitly we do the following. Let $$ \cdots\to P_2\to P_1 \to P_0 \to \mathbb{Z} $$ be the standard resolution. ...
In Visual Complex Analysis's preface, the author gives an analogy with pseudo-deaf musicians and follows the same to mathematics.

Given $$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}-(3-2i)y=0,\quad y(0)=1,\quad y(x\rightarrow \infty)\rightarrow 0$$ then what is $y(\pi)$ ? The answer given is $-e^{-\pi}$. But I cannot understand how its solution can be pure real.
If $$A+B+C=\pi$$, prove that $$\cos\frac{A}{2}+\cos\frac{B}{2}+\cos\frac{C}{2}=4\cos\frac{\pi-A}{4}.\cos\frac{\pi-B}{4}.\cos\frac{\pi-C}{4}$$. My solution: Here $$A+B+C=\pi$$ $$A+B=\pi-C$$ Taking 'sine' on both sides gives $$\sin(A+B)=\sin C$$. Now, $$L.H.S=\cos\frac{A}{2}+\cos\frac{B}{2}+\cos\frac{C}{2}$$ Which formu...
How to prove that not all norms are equivalent in an infinite-dimensional vector space? In particular, I would like to prove that for a space $X$ of continuous real-valued functions defined on interval $[0,1]$, every two norms $\|\ .\|_p$ ($p \in [1, \infty]$) are not equivalent.
"Use Rolles Theorem to show that the function $x^{n}+kx+l=0$ has at most 2 roots if $n$ is even, and at most 3 roots if $n$ is odd?" To do this, I assume I must show that there are certain values of $x$, given by some functions of $k$ and $l$ such that $f_{1}(k,l)<0, f_{2}(k,l)>0, f_{3}(k,l)<0$, but I'm unsure of how t...

Solve for $\theta$ $[0°<\theta<180°]$ $$\sin2\theta + \sin4\theta=\cos\theta + \cos3\theta.$$ My solution is here: $$\sin2\theta + \sin4\theta=\cos\theta + \cos3\theta.$$ After using the transformation formula, I got $$\sin3\theta\cos\theta=\cos3\theta\cos\theta.$$ I could not proceed from here.
Given $$g(x)=\int_{0}^{x} (x-t)e^{t}dt$$ find out $g''(x)$ I thought of using Lebnitz theorem to differentiate it but using Lebnitz I get this $g'(x)=1\cdot (x-x)e^{x}=0$ I don't know how to find the second order derivative of this function.
I have read that there are two 2-dimensional algebras over the complex numbers, but I wanted to see what they are and how they are formed. I understand how to show that there are three 2-dimensional algebras over the reals and am trying to alter that but I don't know if what I'm doing is right! I'm quite new to this ar...

W is closed and convex subset of Hilbert space $H$. Suppose $x\in H$, $x_0\in W$. I am trying to proof, that $d(x, W) = ||x-x_0||$ iff $\Re(<x-x_0, y-x_0>)\le 0$ for all $y\in W$. Could anyone help me with that? ($\Re$ is the real part)
Let $f:\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|>1\}\rightarrow\mathbb{C},f(z)=\frac{1}{z}.$ Now my question is how many entire functions $g$ are there such that $f=g$ for $|z|>1$?According to me there is no such entire function because if there is so then it must be equal to $\frac{1}{z}$ itself. Am I right? Please help. Thanks.

Are there examples of predictable stochastic processes $X$ such that their past is independent of their future? More formally, such that $\sigma\{X_s | s\in (0,t]\}$ is independent of $\sigma\{X_s | s\in (t,u)\}$ for all $0<t<u$? Of course the process cannot have right continuous paths, but maybe a left-continuous whit...

Here is the picture of the page of the book, I am reading: $$P_k: \qquad 1+3+5+\dots+(2k-1)=k^2$$ Now we want to show that this assumption implies that $P_{k+1}$ is also a true statement: $$P_{k+1}: \qquad 1+3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)=(k+1)^2.$$ Since we have assumed that $P_k$ is true, we can perform operations o...
Does anyone have a proof or reference for this often-quoted fact? How complicated is the proof? If $K$ is a complete normed division ring, then $K$ is isomorphic to the real numbers, complex numbers, or the quaternions.
To begin with I know there is a similar question asked and answered, but it is not what exactly i was trying to find (or at least it was only partially answered there) the question that i refer to is: Probability of number of unique numbers in $37$ Roulette Wheel spins.

Let $E^\bullet$ be a perfect complex of $R$-modules (where $R$ comm. ring). So $E^\bullet$ is quasi-isomorphic to a bounded complex of finitely generated projective R-modules. Now $E^\bullet$ has Tor-amplitude in some interval $[a,b]$, which means that $H^i(E^\bullet \otimes_R M) = 0$ for all $i \not\in [a,b]$ and for ...

Consider a smooth curve $c : [0,1] \to M$ and $X \in \mathcal X (M)$. How can one obtain an explicit formula for $[\dot c, X]$?

I have had this problem for a long time now: Suppose we take the cube root of unity $\omega$. $\omega ^ 2 = e ^ {i {4\pi\over3}} = {(e ^ {i 4\pi})}^{1\over3} = {(e ^ {i 2\pi})}^{1\over3} = e ^ {i {2\pi\over3}} = \omega$ Why doesn't this manipulation work? Are we not allowed to divide exponents like we do with real nu...
Is it possible to extend $f(z)=\frac{\Re(z)}{|z|}$ by continuity at $z=0$? Let $z=r(\cos(\theta)+i \sin(\theta))$. Then $\frac{\Re(z)}{|z|} = \frac{r \cos(\theta)}{r} = \cos(\theta) $; as the limit will not depend of $r$, so $f$ can't be extend by continuity. Am I right?
Consider a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(X,A,\mu)$ and $f,f_n\in L^p(\mu)$ with $1<p<\infty$. If $f_n \stackrel{w}{\to} f$ and $\lim_{n\to \infty} \|f_n\|_{L^p}=\|f\|_{L^p}$ hold, then $\lim_{n\to \infty} \|f_n-f\|_{L^p}=0$ is true.

I have this function : $f(x) = \frac{6x^2+18x+12}{x^2-4}$, the domain is R. How come its graph is continuous at $x = -2$? I know it can be simplified to $\frac{6(x+1)}{x-2}$ ( firstly $f(x) = \frac{6(x+1)(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}$ ). But for this simplification $x$ must not be $-2$ or $+2$.

To give an idea i expect a book that (for exemple) would prove the existence of a base in any vector space by Zorn Lemma. Thanks PS: I found Bourbaki's book but the level is quite hard
Let $X$ be a smooth surface and $f\colon X\to B$ a fibration, with $B$ a smooth curve. (Q1) Why is the normal bundle of any fiber $F$ trivial? It is clear to me that it has to be of degree zero since $0=F^2=\deg(O_F(F))$, but why is $O_F(F)=O_F$ ? For the second question I will assume that $B=\Bbb{P}^1$ and that $X$ is...
$$\int \frac{(16-9x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x^6}dx$$ $$\int \frac{(16-9x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x^6}dx=\int \frac{3\left(\frac{16}{9}-x^2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x^6}dx$$ $x=\frac{4}{3}\sin\theta$ $dx=\frac{4}{3}\cos\theta d\theta$ $$\int \frac{3\left(\frac{16}{9}-\frac{16}{9}\sin^2\theta\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x^6}d\theta=\int \f...
I'm trying to solve the PDE $u_x^2-u_y^2=8u$ with initial conditions $u(x,x)=f(x)$. I have that $F(x,y,u,p,q)=p^2-q^2-8u$, with $p=u_x, q=u_y$, and then \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ll} x'(s)=2p\\y'(s)=-2q\\u'(s)=2p^2-2q^2=16u\\ p'(s)=8p\\q'(s)=8q \end{array} \end{equation*} so \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ll} p(...
An orbiting satellite has 3 panels of solar cells, all of which must be activate to provide an adequate power output. The panels function independently of one another. The chance that single panel will fail during the mission is 0.02. What is the probability that there will be adequate power output during the entire m...
Why do you have to factor out $-1$ here? $$\frac{2000}{(10-h)(10+h)}$$$$=\frac{A}{10-h}+\frac{B}{10+h}$$ Decomposing this finds A annd B to be 100, which is wrong. Symbolab and Wolfram Alpha factor out $-1$ from $(10+h)(10-h)$ before separation. I can't see why...
Two circles intersect at $P$ and $Q$.Through $P$ two lines $APB$ and $CPD$ are drawn to intersect circles at $A,B,C,D$. $AC$ and $DB$ when produced meet at $O$. How do I prove that $OAQB$ is cyclic quadrilateral. Please if possible first give me image so that I can also try it, I can't draw its figure properly.
The set $S$ of real numbers of the form $m/10^n$, $m,n$ integers and $n$ greater than or equal to $0$, is a dense subset of $\mathbb R$ or not?? I know dense means closure of $S$ in $\mathbb R$ is $\mathbb R$ then it will be dense. How to prove or disprove I have no idea.
I've been trying to complete this question but have been struggling to see how to approach it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a standard way of approaching and answering questions like this? I've thought about Chi square and T- distributions but their definitions don't seem to be helping me. I know ...
Let $M$ be a non-orientable smooth $d$-dimensional manifold. Let $\tilde{M}$ be the oriented double cover for $M$; and let $f\in Diff^{1+\beta}(M)$. Define $\tilde{f}:\tilde{M}\rightarrow \tilde{M}$ the following way: $\tilde{f}((x,o_x)):=(f(x),o(d_xf(b)))$ where $b$ is some basis for $T_xM$ from the equivalence class ...
I would like to calculate the probability distribution of the sum of all the faces of $N$ dice rolls. The face probabilities ${p_i}$ are know, but are not $1 \over 6$. I have found answers for the case of a fair dice (i.e. $p_i={1 \over 6}$) here and here For large $N$ I could apply the central limit theorem and use a ...
I'm looking for a word to describe a function where every output is guaranteed to have come from exactly one contiguous range of input values. For example, a monotonic function has this property, but that is too strong: the relative ordering is unimportant. However, this is a looser guarantee than that the function be ...
How do i evaluate this limit as $n \to \infty$: $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(8n- \frac{1}{n}\right)^{\frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}}$$ Thanks
Is the sequence $\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{n^2}}$ increasing or decreasing? I simplified it to $\frac{\sqrt{n^2+1}}{n}$, and I tried $a_{n+1}-a_n$ and $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$, but neither seem to work, how should I proceed?
We have two vehicles A: old truck that does 17 mpg (13.84 l/100km) B: old car that does 47 mpg (5.00 l/100km) We are looking to replace one of these vehicles with a new one (of the same size) C: new truck 19 mpg (12.38l/100km) D: new car 61 mpg (3.85l/100km) So which vehicle should we replace to save fuel? Th...
The Riemann zeta function, is the function of the complex variable $s$, defined in the half plane $\Re(s)>1$ by the absolutely convergent series $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n} n^{-s}$ and extends to the whole of $\mathbb{C}$ by analytic continuation. It is known that all the complex zeros of $\zeta(s)$ satisfy $0<\Re(s) <1$. But...
Suppose I have three finite sets $A, B, C$. I want to find a function $f$ such that $|A \cap B \cap C| = f(|A|, |B|, |C|, |A \cap B|, |A \cap C|, |B \cap C|)$ Does such a function exist? The only reasonable solution I get involves the cardinal of the union $|A \cup B \cup C|$, which I don't want at all. If there is no...
