H: Not knowing the $\mathrm{gcd}$ and $\mathrm{lcm}$ and knowing $\mathrm{gcd+lcm}$, how to find $a$ and $b$ in $\mathrm{gcd}(a,b)$? Here's what we have: $\mathrm{gcd}(a,b)=d$ ; $\mathrm{lcm}(a,b)=m$ ; $a+b=30$ ; $m+d=42$ ; $b>a$. What I tried: if $d$ divides $a$ and $b$ so it divides $a+b$ so $d$ divides $30$. And wi...

H: Confusion on proof of limit laws epsilon delta at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tYUmwvLyIA from 35:33 to 39:33, Herb Gross says: \begin{align} f(x) &= L+ [f(x)-L] \\ g(x) &= M+ [g(x)-M] \end{align} Multiplying these 2, we get: \begin{align} f(x)g(x) &= LM + L[g(x) -M] + M[f(x) -L] +[f(x) -L][g(x)-M] \\ f(x)g(x) ...
H: $\mathbb{R}$ is not isomorphic to a proper subfield of itself let $\mathbb{R}$ be the field of real numbers. I found stated in this pretty work On Groups that Are Isomorphic to a Proper Subgroup, that there is no proper subfield $K$ of $\mathbb{R}$ which is isomorphic to $\mathbb{R}$ itself. Does someone have a pro...
H: Approximating an expression for $\rho$ tends to zero I need to approximate the following expression within $-M\leq z \leq M$ for $\rho$ tends to zero, $\frac{\sqrt{\rho^2+(z+M)^2}-(z+M)}{\sqrt{\rho^2+(z-M)^2}-(z-M)}$, where $M$ is a constant and $z$ is a variable My lecturer insists that a Taylor expansion about $\...
H: Example of number field with certain conditions on ramification index and degree I am looking for a number field with degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and with a ramified prime $p$ with ramification index $e$ such that $\textrm{gcd}(n, p-1) = 1$ and $\textrm{gcd}(e, p-1)>1$. I would also be interested in a slightly str...
H: Conditions for interchanging order of limits and summations Let $f: \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \to \overline{\mathbb{R}}$. Then under which conditions is the expression $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\sum\limits_{m=1}^\infty f(m,n)=\sum\limits_{m=1}^\infty \lim\limits_{n\to\infty} f(m,n)$ valid? Would anyone have a rig...
H: Can we imply $\exists x\phi(x)\rightarrow \exists x\psi(x)$ from $\exists x(\phi(x)→\psi(x))$ let $\Sigma$ be a consistent set of formulas in first-order logic and implies $\exists x(\phi (x)→\psi(x))$. which one of these statements is logical implication from $\Sigma$? a) $\forall x\phi(x)→\forall y\psi(y) $ b) ...
H: If $R$ is an Euclidean domain that is not a field, is $R[X]$ a PID? I have a question in ring theory whose answer I am looking for. Consider R to be a Euclidean Domain such that R is not a field. Then is polynomial ring R[X] is always a PID or not. Attempt : R is ED implies R[X] is ED and R is ED implies R is PID...
H: Given $\gamma(t)$ a $\mathcal{C}^1$ path on $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$, why is it true that $|\gamma(t)|$ is also $\mathcal{C}^1$? Suppose $\gamma:[0,1]\to\mathbb{C}^{\times}$ is continuously differentiable, there is a proof I saw involved using the fact that $s(t)=|\gamma(t)|$ must also continuously differentiable but ...
H: Coordinate Geometry Question using matrices Let on the x-y plane, the distance between the points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ be $d$. Another point $P(a,b)$ satisfies the equations $x_1a+y_1b=1$ and $x_2a+y_2b=1$ and the distance between point $P$ from the origin,$O(0,0)$ is $p$. Find the area of triangle $\Delt...
H: Complement of family of binary sequence Consider set of the binary sequence, we choose an element $(0,0,0,...)$,then construct a family of sequence by changing each entry, so that each element is different from zero vector by one entry. Denote the elements by $x_{n}$. Now we proceed the similar way, from starting o...
H: bilinear form of positive matrix If $A$ is a positive-definite matrix and $x$,$y$ are non negative vectors, is $f(A)=x^TAy$ positive ? AI: The answer is no, we have $$\left\langle \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ -1 & 1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}\right\rangle = \le...
H: Calculation of covariant derivative being chart-dependent Ref. Schuller's lecture 7 on gravity and light (derivation starts at this timestamp). I'm watching a lecture that introduces connection coefficients - specifically the part of the video showing for the first time how to calculate covariant derivative. Releva...
H: The cardinality of an equivalence relation over a set I'm trying to prove the following statement: let $A$ be an infinite set, then for any equivalence relation $E$ on $A$, $ |E| = |A|$ But I'm really stuck. Trying to show a bijection from $E$ to $A$ made sense only when dealing with natural numbers, using maybe ...

H: Prove that $E(Y_i \bar{Y}) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n}+\mu^2$ Given $Y_1, Y_2,...Y_n$ are i.i.d random variable which follows a distribution of $N(\mu, \sigma^2)$, I'm trying to prove that $$E(Y_i \bar{Y}) = \frac{\sigma^2}{n}+\mu^2$$ Here's what I've tried: $$E(Y_i \bar{Y}) = E(Y_i \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}Y_i )$$ $$ =...
H: Going-down theorem hypothesis Something I don't get form the hypothesis of this theorem. If $C$ is the integral closure of $A$, and $A$ is integrally closed (since $A$ is integral domain, it's integrally closed over its field of fractions), then $A=C$. If $B$ is integral over $A$, then $B\subset C$. Since $A\subse...
H: Operation in the notation for group homomorphisms A group homomorphism $\varphi$ from the additive group of real numbers to the multiplicative group of non-zero real mumbers... Could this be written as $$\varphi :\, (\mathbb{R},+)\to (\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\},\cdot )?$$ I'm not sure, because I only encountered t...
H: The number of integral points on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = (2000)^2$ is The number of integral points on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = (2000)^2$ is ____? (An integral point is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. My attempt: The equation can be rewritten as: $$(x-y)(x+y) = 2000^2 = 2^8 \cdot 5^6$$ Now, b...
H: Weaker conditions for differentiating under the integral sign Standard theorems of real analysis give conditions under which it holds $$\int_0^1 \partial_x f(x,y)dy = \frac{d}{dx}\int_0^1 f(x,y)\,.$$ In most of the formulations that I have found, it is required that, for almost every $y$, $f$ is everywhere differen...
H: Is there an easier prime factorization method for the sum of a prime's powers? I need to obtain prime factorizations of numbers of the type: $\sum_{i=0}^n p^i$, for any prime number $p$ (not the same one each time). Do you know if there is a quicker algorithm to calculate these factorizations than those used for ot...
H: What is the range of $x,y,z$ when $n$ is a known natural number in: $n=x^5+y^5+z^5$ I have the following question: What is the range of the sum of three distinct natural numbers to the fifth power than are equal to a known natural number? Mathematically speaking: $$n=x^5+y^5+z^5\tag1$$ When $n\in\mathbb{N}$ is kn...
H: Convergence in $p$th mean does not imply convergence in mean. My book proves the following: Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{A},\mu)$ be a finite measure space. Then every sequence $(f_n)$ in $\mathcal{L}^p$ which converges in $p$th mean to an $f \in \mathcal{L}^p$ for some $p\geq 1$ also converges to $f$ in mean. and then as...
