H: FInd conditional extrema $z = x+2y$ I need to find conditional extrema of a function. Here is function: $z = x + 2y$ when $x^2 + y^2 = 5.$ AI: The gradient of $z$ is $(1,2)$. So the extrema are attained on the intersection between $x^2+y^2=5$ and $y=2x$ giving us $(x, y) = (1,2)$ and $(x, y) = (-1,-2)$. Thus, the...

H: Find real numbers r and s so that $a_{n+2}+ra_{n+1}+sa_n = 0$ and $b_{n+2}+rb_{n+1}+sb_n = 0$ I already know that $b_{n+1} = a_n +3b_n$ and $a_{n+1} = 3a_n - b_n$. So $a_{n+2} = 3(3a_n-b_n)-(3b_n+a_n) = 9a_n-3b_n-3b_n-a_n = 8a_n-6b_n$ and $b_{n+2} = 8b_n+6a_n$. So we can rewrite the whole thing as $8a_n-6b_n+r(3a_n...

H: How many unordered pairs of positive integers $(a,b)$ are there such that $\operatorname{lcm}(a,b) = 126000$? How many unordered pairs of positive integers $(a,b)$ are there such that $\operatorname{lcm}(a,b) = 126000$? Attempt: Let $h= \gcd(A,B)$ so $A=hr$ and $B=hp$, and $$phr=\operatorname{lcm}(A,B)=3^2\cdot 7...
H: What exactly is a constant angle? I previously asked a question about what a non constant angle is but it was closed due to lack of clarity and hence, I'm posting a new question. The notation $x^c$ will be used in this question to represent $x$ radians. So, a proof in my Mathematics textbook is about proving that r...
H: Let $f:A \rightarrow B$ be a bijective map, and let $P,Q \subseteq A$ be any sets. Then $f(P-Q)=f(P)-f(Q)$ Can you please check my proof of the following theorem? Theorem: Let $f:A \rightarrow B$ be a bijective map, and let $P,Q \subseteq A$ be any sets. Then $f(P-Q)=f(P)-f(Q)$. Proof: Let $x \in f(P)-f(Q)$. Hen...
H: Proving combinatorial identities Prove $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n kx^k{x\choose k}=nx(1+x) ^{n-1}$ This question can be solved easily (by taking the derivative of the binomial theorem formula), if there was an $\binom{n}{k}$ instead of $\binom{x}{k}$. I mean, the presence of $\binom{x}{k}$ seems a bit fishy. so, ...
H: In Halmos' Naive Set Theory, how can there be more than 1 successor set? The axiom of infinity clearly states that there exists a set $A$ containing $0$ and the successor of its elements. Shortly after introducing this axiom, Halmos goes to say: Since the intersection of every non-empty family of successor sets is...
H: Given two polynomials, determine two other degrees through polynomial division I read in a proof, where it says something in this direction Divide any polynomial $Q$ of degree $2n-2$ by $P$ (of degree $n$) and get an equation $Q=SP+R$ with $S$ and $R$ polynomials of degree at most $n-2$ and $n-1$, respectively. I...
H: Example of $X_n$ which converge a.s. but not in mean Provide an example of a sequence of random variables which converge a.s. but not in mean. I know that the random variables $X_n=n\cdot\mathbb{1}_{(0,\frac{1}{n})}$ converge in probability as given any $\varepsilon>0$ \begin{align*} P(|X_n-0|>\varepsilon)=P(X_n>...
H: Expected number of coin side changes in a sequence of coin tosses with unfair coin Suppose with have an unfair coin with probability p for heads and 1-p for tails. In a series of coin tosses(like n times) what is the expected number of times that the coin side changes? for instance if we toss the coin 5 times and t...
H: Show $f$ can be extended to be analytic in $\mathbb{C}$ except at finitely many poles. I have attempted the following problem but I am stuck on one part: Suppose $f$ is analytic on the unit disk and continuous on the boundary of the disk. Also, suppose $|f(z)|=1$ for $|z|=1$. Show that $f$ can be extended to be ana...
H: Is there a simple function $f(x)$ that follows $2$ rules when $x$ is rational? Is there a simple function $f(x)$ that follows $2$ rules when $x$ is rational? $x$'s simplest form is $\frac{a}{b}$ if $x$ is a rational number. $$f(x) \in \begin{cases} \mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Q}, \ \ \ \ x=\frac{a}{b} \text{ and ...
H: Matrix of the linear transformation $T$ To the following theorem, Let $V$ and $W$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces having ordered bases $\beta$ and $\gamma$, respectively, and let $T : V \rightarrow W$ be linear. Then, for each $u \in V$, we have $[T(u)]_\gamma=[T]_\beta^\gamma[u]_\beta$. the textbook gives th...
H: Permutation of a number yields a prime? Given a number $N$ that is constructed only by using these digits: $\{1,3,7,9\}$, It is not divisible by $3$ (The sum of digits are not divisible by $3$) and thus $3 \nmid N$. And - it has at least $3$ different digits (maybe it uses only $1,3,9$ or $1,3,7$ or $1,3,7,9$ ...) ...
H: Can the interval $[0,1]$ be made into a field? After some cups of coffee with a friend we come up with a non-trivial question to our knowledge and it reads as follows : Is is possible to define the operations of sum and product on $[0,1]$ so that makes it a field ? As mentioned, this question is most likely beyon...
H: What formula could I use to find out how many paperclips my factories could produce? I'm playing Universal Paperclips and I'm near the end of the game. I currently have 2.3 quadrillion factories. Each factory un-upgraded can produce 100 billion clips per second. The first upgrade increases each factory's performanc...
H: Prove that $B\cup(\bigcap \mathcal F)=\bigcap_{A\in \mathcal F}(B\cup A)$. Not a duplicate of $\cap_{A \in \mathcal{F}}(B \cup A) \subseteq B \cup (\cap \mathcal{F})$ This is exercise $3.5.16.b$ from the book How to Prove it by Velleman $($$2^{nd}$ edition$)$: Suppose $\mathcal F$ is a nonempty family of sets and $...
H: Does $A \rightarrow B$ imply $P(A) \le P(B)$? My intuition is that if you have two events, $A$ and $B$, and you can show that event $A$ implies event $B$, then you should have $P(A) \le P(B)$ because any time A happens so does B, but not necessarily the other way around. Similarly then $A \leftrightarrow B$ implies...
H: Question about the proof of Theorem 14 of Hoffman and Kunze While self studying Linear Algebra from Hoffman and Kunze, I have a question in Theorem 14 in the section on unitary operators from Chapter 8. Here are the relevant images. My question is in highlighted line of the image. I am unable to get what reasoning...
H: Proving the connection between limit points and neighborhoods I am trying to prove the following proposition stated in my general topology textbook: Let $A$ be a subset of a topological space $(X ,\tau).$ A point $x \in X$ is a limit point of $A$ if and only if every neighborhood of $x$ contains a point of $A$ dif...
H: Does every continuous random variable have a pdf? Does every continuous random variable have a pdf? Is there any random variable which is neither discrete nor continuous? Here, by continuous random variable I meant those random variables for which probablity of a singleton set is 0. AI: If $X$ is a random variable ...
H: Do functions with the same gradient differ by a constant? Let $f,g:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ be such that $\nabla f=\nabla g$. I believe this implies that $f$ and $g$ only differ by a constant, like in the one-dimensional case. But I'm not sure how to prove it. If it's indeed true, can you give me a hint? Thanks!...
H: When is the Lagrange interpolation polynomial exact? Find the Lagrange interpolation polynomial for data points $x_k=k$ and $f(k)=k^2$, where $k=0,1,2,3$. Also, find the Lagrange interpolation polynomial for the same data points but with $g(k)= k^4$. I would like to say that in both cases the Lagrange polynomial (L...
H: Is there a story proof behind the combinatorial identity $(n-2k)\binom{n}{k} = n\left[ \binom{n-1}{k} - \binom{n-1}{k-1} \right]$? Is there a "story proof"/combinatorial proof for the following combinatorial identity: $$(n-2k)\binom{n}{k} = n\left[ \binom{n-1}{k} - \binom{n-1}{k-1} \right]\tag1$$ I know that this i...
H: Order of a subgroup generated by two elements in $S_5$ Let $G = \langle(12)(34), (15)\rangle$ be a subgroup of $S_5$. Then I need to show that $G$ has order $12$ and has a non-trivial centre. I have found thse elements- $$I,(12)(34), (15), (12)(34)(15), (15)(12)(34).$$ If I just keep computing compositions, then th...
H: How prove that the elementary operations don't change the rank of a matrix One considers certain operations, called elementary row operations, that are applied to a matrix $A$ to obtain a new matrix $B$ of the same size. These are the following: exchange rows $i_1$ and $i_2$ of $A$ (where $i_1\neq i_2$); replace r...
