H: Product of Lebesgue integrals is bounded I'm attempting to show the following: If $f:[0,1] \to (0,\infty)$ is measurable, then $$ \int_0^1 f(x) \,dx \int_0^1 \frac{1}{f(x)} \,dx≥1$$ My first inclination is to use something like Fubini or Tonelli to turn the product into a single integral, but I'm not sure I can app...
H: Is the absolute value of a definite integral equal to the definite integral of the absolute value of the integrand? An interesting question occurred to me as I was reading some Physics: Is it true in general that $$\left|\int_a^b f(x) \, dx\right| = \int_a^b |f(x)| \, dx\, ?$$ If not, what properties must $f(x)$ sa...
H: Why is $(A\times B)/(I\times J)=A/I\times B/J$? Why is it true that $(A\times B)/(I\times J)=A/I\times B/I$? Here, $A$ and $B$ are (commutative) rings (with $1$), and $I$ and $J$ are respective ideals. This looks similar to the chinese remainder theorem, but I'm not sure how this is (if it is at all) an application...

H: Interpolation of three positive values at 0, 1 and 2 by a polynomial with non-negative coefficients I am asking myself the question: Let $ y_0, y_1, y_2 $ be positive real numbers. Is there always a polynomial $ f $ with non-negative real numbers as coefficients which satisfies $ f( i ) = y_i $ for $ i = 0, 1, 2 $?...
H: Showing the subset $\{(x_1,x_2) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : x_1 > x_2 \}$ is open The metric is the typical Euclidean metric, $ \sqrt{ (x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2 } $. I have solved this one, albeit with in my opinion quite excessive steps. I would love to know if there is a simpler way to do it. Below is my approach. De...
H: General proof for square–cube law Can someone present a general (and easy) proof for square-cube law? For similar objects 1 and 2, $$ \frac{A_1}{A_2}=k^2 \ \mathrm{and} \ \frac{V_1}{V_2}=k^3, $$ where k is the scale of objects 1 and 2. AI: For a cube we have that $A_1=l_1^2$ $V_1=l_1^3$ and $A_2=l_2^2$ $V_2=l_2^...
H: Evaluate $\sum_{r=1}^{m} \frac{(r-1)m^{r-1}}{r\cdot\binom{m}{r}}$ Evaluate:$$\sum_{r=1}^{m} \frac{(r-1)m^{r-1}}{r\cdot\binom{m}{r}}$$ Using the property:$$r\binom{m}{r}=m\binom{m-1}{r-1}$$ It is same as $$\sum_{r=2}^{m} \frac{(r-1)m^{r-1}}{m\cdot\binom{m-1}{r-1}}$$ How I do now? AI: Let $$S=\sum_{r=1}^{m} \frac{(r...
