H: How to rationalize multiple terms with fractional exponents I'm trying to derive the derivative of $f(x) = x^{2/3}$ using the limit definition: $$f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}$$ $$=\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(x+h)^{2/3} - x^{2/3}}{h}$$ I suspect I have to rationalize the numerator in order to cancel an $h...

H: If $|a_n| \to |a|$ and $|\frac{a_n}{|a_n|}-\frac{a}{|a|}|\to0$ can we conclude $a_n\to a$? If $|a_n| \to |a|$ and $|\frac{a_n}{|a_n|}-\frac{a}{|a|}|\to0$ can we conclude $a_n\to a$? I am not sure. I tried various algebraic manipulations but could not figure it out. This problem came up when trying to prove somethi...

H: Is there an ideal scoring term for determining two numbers? Let's say I have a known vector of two numbers: c(A,B) Is there a scoring term, or a combination of scoring terms, that can measure the unique closeness of a random vector c(a,b) to the known vector?

We have a continuous, strictly monotonic, increasing function on some closed and bounded interval $I$, and $x_0\in I$. Let $g(y)$ be its inverse, and $f(x_0)=y_0$. I want to show that $|g(y)...
H: Justification for the calculation of expectation on the first indicator random variable of a series of mutually dependent experiments. I am not asking for a proof of linearity of expectation, which is available in multiple posts. Instead I would like to develop a more robust understanding as to why the calculation ...
H: Convergence in measure implies alternating sequences converges to zero in measure This problem came up in studying for a qual. Suppose $\{f_{n}\}$ is a sequence of measurable functions that converges in measure to $f$. Prove that the sequence $\{g_{n}\}$, where $g_{n} = (−1)^{n}f_{n}$, converges in measure to a fun...

H: If $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold and $S$ is a regular level set of $f:M\to \Bbb R$ then $\text{grad}f|_S$ is nowhere vanishing I have a question reading a proof of the following theorem. Theorem. Let $M$ be an oriented smooth manifold, and suppose $S\subset M$ us a regular level set of a smooth function $f:M\to ...
H: Surjective ring morphism $f:R\to R$ satisfies Ker$(f^{n+1})\subset $ Ker$(f^n)$ then $f$ is injective. As in the title, the set-up of the problem is as follows: $f: R\to R$ is a surjective ring homomorphism and $R$ is a commutative ring. Suppose that for some $m\in \mathbb{N}$, Ker$(f^{m+1})\subset$ Ker$(f^m)$. Pro...
H: Why is $\text{tr}(\sqrt{\sqrt A B \sqrt A})=\text{tr}(\sqrt{A B }) $ for positive semidefinite matrices $A,B$ Let $A,B$ be two real positive semidefinite matrices of same size. Denote the trace operator by tr. We define the square root of a positive semidefinite matrix $A$ by the unique matrix $\sqrt A$ such that $...

H: Is there a preference between writing complex numbers as $z=a+bi$ or $z=a+ib$? This is probably just a minor notational issue, but I am unsure whether I should write $z=a+bi$ or $z=a+ib$ when denoting complex numbers. Though the former notation seems more common, Euler's identity tends to be written as $$ e^{i\pi}+...
H: Quick way to determine characteristic subgroups Reminder: A characteristic subgroup of a group $G$ is a subgroup which is stable under all elements of $\mathrm{Aut}(G)$. This is a stronger property than being normal. A while ago there was a question here, which unfortunately got deleted, about a group having two d...
H: How are you able to factorise a determinant like this? I'm aware of many different properties of determinants, like two rows being equal implies determinant is zero, or if a row is multiplied by a constant, then you factor out that constant. I'm not aware of being able to do this though. What property am I missing ...
H: "Finite-Dimensional-Type-Spectral-Theorem" for Orthogonal Projections Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, not assumed separable, and $p$ and $q$ (bounded - not sure if that is important) orthogonal projections. Question 1: Is it the case that $p$ has an orthonormal eigenbasis for $H$/is diagonalisable? Question 2: Is it t...

H: Weird Sum Identity I came across a weird sum identity that I would like to prove: $$ \sum_{i=1}^{k-2}\frac{(-1)^i}{(i-1)!(k-2-i)!(n-k+2+ij)}=\frac{-\Gamma\left(1+\frac{n-k+2}{j}\right)}{j\Gamma\left(k-1+\frac{n-k+2}{j}\right)}. $$ I would like to know how one can prove this. It seems like direct computations, induc...

If we take the $100^{th}$ roots of unity ie. all complex roots of the equation $z^{100}-1=0$ and denote them as $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},...,\alpha_{100}$ then we are required to prove that $$\alpha_{1}^r+\alpha_{2}^r+...+\alpha_{100}^r=0$$ for $r\neq100k$ where ...

When I tried to evaluate this, I got: $\frac{bc-ad}{2}+\frac{ad-bc}{2b-2d}$, but didn’t see how this got to the desire...
