H: If $ 3a+2b+c=7$ then find minimum value of $ a^2+b^2+c^2$ Question:- If $ 3a+2b+c=7$ then find the minimum value of $ a^2+b^2+c^2 $. I used vectors to solve this problem. Let $$α=3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$$ $$β=a\hat{i}+b\hat{j}+c\hat{k}$$ Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we have, $|α.β|\le |α| |β|$ $=|3a+2b+c|\le\s...
H: Number sequence with a given formula $a_{n}$ is a sequence which is given by the formula: $a_{n+1}=\log_2(a_n)$, where $a_1=30$. What is a number of maximum elements of the sequence? I tried to approximate each number but I think there must be more systematic way to solve this problem. Can you explain this to me? N...
H: Is it a convex set? I have the following set $$A = \{ (x,y) \in \Bbb R^{2} : \log x + y^{2}\ge 1, x \ge 1, y \ge 0 \}$$ and I need to know if it's convex or not. I tried to have a look at this function $-\log x-y^{2}$, but the Hessian matrix is indefinite and I don't know what to do else. AI: $(e,0)$ is in the set....
H: Does a continuous bijection from a compact, hausdorff space imply it is an homeomorphism? Let $f:X \rightarrow Y$ be a bijective, continuous map between two toplogical spaces. Does X being compact and Hausdorff imply that $f$ must be a homeomorphism? I think it doesn't but I can not find an example. AI: Let $X$ be ...
H: Proof that Hadamard matrices of order $4k+2$ don't exist It's known that Hadamard matrices can only exist for orders $1$, $2$ and $4k$.

H: Missing piece for combinatorial proof I am working on a combinatorial proof given that $n-k$ is divisible by $g$ (that is $mod(\frac{n-k}{g})=0$). I am missing a piece for this step: $\frac{k-1}{n-1}{n+\frac{n-k}{g}-2 \choose n-2}+\frac{k+g}{n}{n+\frac{n-k}{g}-2 \choose n-1}=\frac{k}{n}{n+\frac{n-k}{g}-1 \choose n-...

H: Show one diagonal of $B D E C$ divides the other diagonal in the ratio? Consider a triangle $A B C$. The sides $A B$ and $A C$ are extended to points $D$ and $E,$ respectively, such that $A D=3 A B$ and $A B=3 A C$. Then one diagonal of $B D E C$ divides the other diagonal in the ratio ? My approach I am trying to ...
H: Example of matrix $A\neq I$ such that $A^3=I$ Let $A \neq I$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix. I need to find an example of $A$ that satisfies $A^3 = I$. Is there any "smart" way to do this? All I can think of is to either multiply $A$ for 3 times and then try to guess the factors or try to solve $A^2 = A^{-1}$. In either ...
H: What is $P(\min\{X, Y\} = 1)$? If $y=1,2,3$ and $x=0,1,2$ where $P(X=x, Y=y) = k(2x+3y)$ I need to find $P(\min\{X, Y\} = 1)$. I thought I need to use that the CMF of the minimum is $1-P(X)$, and maybe to find k by doing derivative on the equation and to sum it up to 1? would love any direction on this. AI: Given t...
H: If $X$ follows an $\operatorname{Exp}(\theta)$, does $1/X$ follow an $\operatorname{Exp}(1/ \theta)$? I heard a teacher say that if $$X \sim \operatorname{Exp}(\theta)$$ then $$\frac{1}{X} \sim \operatorname{Exp}\left(\frac{1}{\theta}\right)$$ I don't trust this teacher because he has given us wrong answers before....

H: inequality involving exponentials and square root function I came across the following inequality from these notes. It states that $\frac{e^{-\lambda}}{\sqrt{1-2\lambda}} \le e^{2\lambda^2}$ for $\lambda < \frac{1}{4}$. Is there a way to show this using calculus? I tried setting $f(\lambda) = e^{2\lambda^2} -\frac{...

How can I prove the arcs L1 (AB) and L2 (BC) are equal? AI: This question is trivially answered by simply extending $AD$ and $CE$ and observing their inter...
H: Condition for splitting the integrals I wanted to ask what are the conditions for splitting a definite improper integral? For example, is it true that $$ \int_{0}^{\infty}(f(x)+g(x)) ~dx=\int_{0}^{\infty}f(x)~dx+\int_{0}^{\infty}g(x)~dx $$ If both integrals are individually convergent and are continuous throughout ...

H: Lebesgue points Lebesgue points are defined by: $$\lim_{r \to 0}\frac{1}{Leb(B(x,r))}\int_{B(x,r)}|f(y)-f(x)|dy=0 \text{ for a.e. } x \in \mathbb{R} \text{ w.r.t. } Leb$$ where $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}), B(x,r)$ is the ball with center $x$ and radius $r$. My question is: if we replace $Leb$ by general measure $\mu$? Do...
H: A set as an algebraic structure A set is collection of distinct objects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(mathematics). The word distinct implies the identity relation on each set: an element of a set is equal to itself, or $a = a$ (Does the word 'distinct' in the definition of Set implies an equivalence relation...
