H: Recursive equation answer Consider the following recursive equations: $$3A_n = 2A_{n-1}+B_{n-1}$$ $$3B_n = A_{n-1}+2B_{n-1}$$ Let $A_0=2$ and $B_0=-1$. I know there are supposed to be different ways to solve this but I was thinking about solving one equation and replace it in the other to find the final answer I tr...
H: Under what condition is a complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ a regular graph This is a quick question and I know all about these graphs what I am supposed to know. But I am unable to explain myself in words. Like I know for regular graph the vertex must have same degree and bipartite graph is a complete bipartite i...

H: Compute $\pi_2(S^2 \vee S^2)$ As far as I know, there are two ways to calculate higher homotopy groups. One way is if we have a fibration then we get a long exact sequence in homotopy. The other is if we know a space is $(n-1)$-connected, then by Hurewicz Theorem, $\pi_n \cong H_n$. I know $H_2(S^2 \vee S^2)=\mathb...
H: How to find the inverse of the complex function $ f(z)=\dfrac{z}{\sqrt{1+|z|^{2}}}$ I'm trying to calculate the inverse function of : $$ f(z)=\dfrac{z}{\sqrt{1+|z|^{2}}}$$ where $z\in$ $\mathbb{C}$. Can someone help me? AI: If you mean the inverse, $1-|f|^2=\frac{1}{1+|z|^2}\implies z=f\sqrt{1+|z|^2}=\frac{f}{\sqr...
H: Continuity of this Piecewise function $f:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}$ I have shown that $f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$ given by $f(0,0) = 0$ and $\displaystyle f(x,y)=\frac{x|y|}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$ if $(x,y)\ne (0,0)$ isn't differentiable at $(0,0)$, now I'm trying to show whether it is continuous or not. My attempt: I...
H: Computing singular points of curves, exercise 5.1 (Hartshorne) I am just trying to cross check my answer as it slightly differs from https://math.berkeley.edu/~reb/courses/256A/1.5.pdf to be sure of any mistake I am making.

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are two totally ordered sets with $|X| = n_X$ and $|Y|=n_Y$. We'll say an ordering ($\preceq$) of $X \times Y$ preserves the orderings of $X$ and $Y$ if for any elements $x_1...

H: If $M$ has only two definable subsets, must it have a transitive automorphism group? I was told that a sufficient condition for a structure $M$ to have only the empty set and $M$ itself as parameter-free definable subsets, is for $M$ to have a transitive automorphism group. Is the converse true? AI: No, it's not - ...

I know that $\sigma(2^n) = 1+2+2^2+2^3+\dots+2^n = 2^{n+1}-1$, so we only need to find...

Consider the function $f(x)=\frac{x}{3x+2}$ that generates the unsigned terms of our series. Taking the derivative of $f$ we have $f'...
H: Why is $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \mathbb{Q}^2$ not a topological manifold? I would like to understand why $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \mathbb{Q}^2$ endowed with the subspace topology is not a topological manifold. It seems to me it is Hausdorff and second countable. So I am wondering. Why is it not locally Euclidian? AI: A...
H: Misconception about basic mixed fraction We know, $$3 \frac12=3+\frac12$$ Then, if we have $$3 \frac12 ÷ 3 \frac12$$ It means: $a)\,\frac72 ÷ \frac72=1$ or $b)\, 3+\frac12 ÷ 3+\frac12 =\frac{7}2$ or $c)\, 3 + 1 ÷ 2 ÷ 3 + 1 ÷ 2=\frac{11}3$ Which one is true? Sorry, maybe it appears on another question, but i want to...
H: Does adding a constant or reducing all the numbers by 5% change the z score? I have a set of numbers.
