I want to define a continuous function $f(x)$ such that the following properties hold true. 1. $f(0) = 0.5$ 2. $f(-1) = 0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25$ 3. $f(1) = 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75$ 4. $f(-2) = 0.5 - 0.25 - 0.125 = 0.125$ 5. $f(2) = 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 = 0.875$ 6. And so on, ad infinitum. So, I know that I'm looking...
How do I define a function that's first exponential and then logarithmic?

Your confusion seems to arise from having a wrong idea about the relation of the elements of the fields $\Bbb{F}_{16}=GF(16)$ and its subfield $\Bbb{F}_4=GF(4)$. It is correct to construct these two fields as quotient fields of the polynomial ring by moding out the ideal generated by the defining polynomial: $$ \Bbb...
What is the number of non negative integral solutions of $5w+3x+y+z=100$, such that $w≤x≤y≤z$. I have the answer key to this but I do not understand how to even start. The second inequality condition is what is troubling me the most. Are there specific ways to approach this?

The card you choose to begin with (card A in your example above) becomes immune to any further changes the moment you make that choice.

Your self-answer is unsatisfactory. Also: In OP, what do you mean by "a polynomial $u(t,x)$ in $t,x$ such that $$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}"\quad\dots\quad ? $$ The correct statement is that any function $u(t,x)$ (regardless if polynomial or not) that satisfies...

*Definition*: So according to the definition a sequence $(x_n)$ is convergent to some $x$ if: For any $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists some $K(\epsilon) \in \mathcal{N}$ such that for all $n \in \mathcal{N}$ if $n \ge K(\epsilon)$, we have $|x_n - x| < \varepsilon$. a) Now my approach of showing if the given sequence...

[![enter image description here][1]][1] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/71Kbw.jpg Theorem C is from the book Measure Theory by Halmos...from Chapter 3. My question: how Sigma finite of E is used in the proof? It will be very much helpful kindly give some hint or explanation.
$Q1:$ Let $a_1,a_2,…,a_n$ be non-zero real numbers and $b_1,b_2,…,b_n$ be real numbers. Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation $$(a_1x-b_1)^2 + (a_2x-b_2)^2 +…+(a_nx-b_n)^2 = 0$$ What can you say about the discriminant?\ $S1: \text{Discriminant},\Delta= 4\left[\left(\sum a_ib_i \right)^2 - \left(\sum a_i^2...
I've been learning about derived functors recently, and I had conceptualized them as fulfilling the following goal: Suppose that we had a left-exact functor $F:\mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ between two abelian categories. If we had a short exact sequence $0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0$, then hitting this with $F$ gives a...
What is the "goal" of derived functors?
Definition: An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$ is said to be nonnegative definite if it is self-adjoint and $\langle Tx,x \rangle \geq 0$ for all $x \in H$. Now suppose $T$ is any element of $\mathcal B(H), T^*T$ is nonnegative definite because it is self-adjoint and $\langle T^*Tx,x \rangle = ||Tx||^2$. **Qu...
How to see that $T^*T$ is self-adjoint?
Let's say for example we divide 2m^2 by 1m, the result is 2m. What is the physical interpretation of this? I mean, dividing an area by a distance makes no sense to me.
What does it mean to divide an area by a distance?
I recently got an explanation of the Monty Hall problem and I thought I understood it but after giving it more thought, it still looks wrong. Instead of using goats and doors, the example used a 52-card poker deck. The cards are facing down on a table and you need to pick one card without looking at it. Let's say th...
