Show that for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $10^{3^n}\equiv 1\pmod{3^{n+2}}$ but $3^{n+3}\not\mid 10^{3^n}-1$. I think I've proved this problem, but I was unsure if my proof was correct: Proof Let $n=1$. Then, $10^3=1000\equiv1\pmod{3^3}$ since $3^2=9\mid999$ and $3\mid111\implies 3^3\mid999$; but, $3...
I think the correct answer is $7$ because the general quadratic is $$y_i=ax_i^2 + bx_i + c$$ Using the formula $$\color{red}{\fbox{Number of degrees of freedom = Number of data points - Number of Parameters}}$$ The $3$ parameters are $y_i,x_i^2,x_i$ So $10-3=7$ degrees of freedom. The correct...

Not quite applicable to many situations, but I'm extending this as more of a "I need help/tips" on re-arranging an equation. I something like this: $$ 0.02=\frac{1}{(1+c)}\left(1-e^{-\frac{Z}{y/(1+c))}}\right) $$ I want to re-arranging this equation for $c$. How would this be done? I know that ...
I think the uninstall should be removed: all the highest-rated questions are clearly off-topic and they date back to a couple of years ago. It should be rather painless, with just ~1200 questions tagged with it.
Find product $ xy $ if both x and y are real. After applying basic log identities, I tried equating value of $ 1/(log x)^2+1/(log y)^2 $ but I am not getting any fruitful result.
I am so lost between the measure and distribution! I do know the definition for each but I couldn't apply it for this question : Comment on the existence and uniqueness of invariant measure and of invariant distribution: Does an invariant measure always exist? Is it unique? Does and invariant dis...
Given that $0<a<-b$ what may we deduce about $(a+b)/a$? This implies that $(a+b)/a < 0$ which I can write as $-|a+b|/|a| < 0$ so that $|a+b|/|a|>0$. Is this all I can conclude? My prof says to me that the quantity $|(a+b)/a| < 1$ but I haven't been able to see this yet. Thanks!
What I ran into Strolling through the keys in dconf-editor, looking for something else, I ran into the screen's information in /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/outputs which showed the values: ['1680x1050+0+0', '1280x1024+1680+0'] on my system. This surprised me a bit. I use to ge...
Let's presume that we have a PVP fight scene, where 1 or 2 heroes, are fighting 3 monsters. The monsters that the heroes are fighting are the following: Skeleton (2 of this monster) Health: 1 Defense: 0 Attack: 1 Death Knight (1 of this monster) Health:...
What are some good examples of partial combinatory algebras (a.k.a. Schoenfinkel algebras) with surjective pairing? I mean this in the sense that, if $\mathsf{D}$ is the pairing combinator and $\pi_0,\pi_1$ the projection combinators, then $\mathsf{D}(\pi_0x)(\pi_1x)=x$ for all $x$. Especially in...
Let $\lambda >0$. Consider the non-linear system $$ \begin{cases}\dot{x}=x^2\\\dot{y}=-\lambda y\end{cases}. $$ The aim is to get an idea of the phase portrait. There are some things I can see directly: First of all, $(0,0)$ is an equilibrium. On the $x$-axis, we are moving to the right. On t...
Let $(M,g)$ be a manifold with metric $g$ parametrized by the mapping operator $S$ and parametric domain $\Omega$. The sobolev space of order one with respect to the $L_2(M)$-norm $H^1_2(M)$ is defined as follows: Let $C_2^1 = \{ u \in C^\infty(M) s.t. \forall j = 0,1: \int_M |\nabla^j u |^2 dv(g) <
When I posted a question to SO a year or two ago there would be an overabundance of answers. Now I'll post a question and days pass with less than 10 views, and 0 answers. I would be willing to donate via PayPal or some other source to a fund that I'd use to pay for good answers. I would imagine ...
I am not familiar with the formal compute about the invariant under diffeomorphism (isometric),so I want a detail example. For example,$M,N$ are Riemannian manifolds, $\Phi :M\rightarrow N$ is diffeomorphism.How to formally show $$ \int_MR(\Phi^*g_{ij}) dV(\Phi^*g_{ij})=\int_N R(g_{ij})dV(g_{ij}...
I'm studying systems of differential equations an their representations via phase portraits at the moment, I was taught that when sketching the phase plane of a $2\times2$ system of the form: $$ \dot X=AX $$ With solutions $X=c_1\Re (e^{(\alpha+i\beta)t}\xi_1)+c_2\Im(e^{(\alpha+\beta i)t}\xi_1)...
Given $A,B\in\Bbb R^{n\times n}$ when is there a real matrix $X$ such that $$AX=XB$$ holds? Is there such a matrix for any pair of $(A,B)$?
If I reduce a matrix to Smith Normal Form, how do I find the free basis of the smith normal form of the matrix?
Does it not suffice to point out that $$(i, k)(i, j)\in A_n$$ The element at location $i$ is mapped to the element at location $j$ and and the element at location $j$ is mapped to some third location $k$. Does this not prove transitivity if $n>2$?
I am confused on how to multiply by pi using a calculator(ti-84). I am working in radians. Convert 2.51 x 10^4 rad/min : 2.51 x 10^4 * 2pi divided by 60 My answer was: 2628.465854 rad/s The tutorial video I was watching answer was: 2627.1 rad/s Which answer is correct? Thanks.
Let $V$, $V'$ be normed vector spaces and $f:V\rightarrow V'$ be a linear map. I would be very grateful if someone could verify if my proofs of the below statements are 100% correct. Also, I can't prove the first half of b). a) If $f$ is continuous at one point, it is continuous everyw...
I've seen a number of questions recently where the ecmascript-6 tag has been removed from a question. I don't really want to name & shame anyone so I'll not post the links to the questions. These mainly appear to be questions where the root cause of the problem was not due to ES6 syntax - but a ...
If $P(x)=p_nx^n+p_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+p_o$ is divided by $(x-a)$, show that the remainder is $P(a)$. Need help verifying my proof. Proof: If $P(x)$ is divided by $(x-a)$, it gives a quotient of $Q(x)$ and remainder $R$. $P(x)\equiv(x-a)Q(x)+R$ Substituting $a$ for $x$ in this identity gives $R$. ...
This is a part of the question from CLRS (Introduction to Algorithms) Chapter on FFT and Polynomials. I am self reading and am stuck at this part. Let $n$ be a power of 2. Suppose that we search for the smallest $k$ such that $p = kn + 1$ is prime. Give a simple heuristic argument why we might ...
Could anyone help me with this question? Thanks! Suppose that two balls are randomly chosen without replacement from an urn containing $5$ white balls and $8$ red balls. Let the random variable X equals $1$ if the first ball chosen is white and equals $0$ the first ball chosen is red. Let the ra...
We have have five questions tagged origins. Three are about origins of something (history). One is about the screen positioning (with origin at 0,0) and one is about a game client. I propose to be unoriginal in our nuking.
Recently I've answered a bounty question. After 7 days period answers was not awarded. When grace period ended I and other user had an equal amount. Other user was awarded (half bounty amount) by system. So I'm just curious: by what criteria the system selects the winner, if few users have the sa...
I'm aware of some theorems like the Banach-Tarski's which yield very counter-intuitive results, however, it's proof is far beyond my knowledge, so I'm looking for some result that is easy to prove and gives a counter-intuitive result, using Choice. Does anyone know any examples?
A lot of questions about this have unsatisfying answers that either argues how unsafe RSA is when $p=q$ or points out that $\phi(n)$ is not $(p-1)(q-1)$ when $p=q$ and that $\phi(n)$ must be used to make RSA secure. However, I'd like to know why the RSA fails, i.e why the Decipher $R$ is not equ...
Find local max local min for f(x) = x^2 + 1/x, I tried to take first order derivative $$ f'(x) = 2x -x^{-2}$$ but how do I go from here.
So the subject of translations in a very simple case came up the other day, where for $x,y\in R$ $f(x-a)$ is just $f(x)$ translated to the right. This is trivial to show in a very hand waving sort of way: the function $f$ "looks back", and the fact that $f(x-a)$ goes to the right and $f(x+a)$ goe...
I am trying to solve this recurrence relation $f(x)$ = $f(x - 3)$ + $\frac{(2(x - 3)^3 + 3(x - 3)^2 - 2(x - 3))}{24}$ but I don't know how to proceed further. So can some one please help me in solving this recurrence relation. And also please give me some hints on how to solve these kind of pro...
Let $D \subset R$ and let $a \in D$. Show that acc(D \ {a}) = acc(D). I'm not sure I really understand what this question is asking. How can I show that these accumulation points are equivalent?
Let $P(x)=(m^2+4m+5)x^2-4x+7,m\in R$.If $3\leq x\leq 5$,then find the minimum of the minimum value of $P(x).$ The minimum value of $P(x)=(m^2+4m+5)x^2-4x+7$ occurs at $x=\frac{2}{m^2+4m+5}$ So the minimum value of the $P(x)$ is $\frac{-4}{m^2+4m+5}+7$ But i dont know how to find the minimum v...
A matrix $M\in\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R})$ is said to be primitive if it exists an integer $k$ such as $M^k$ has all its coefficients strictly positive. My question is : If $M$ is primitive and if $N$ is similar to $M,$ say $N=PMP^{-1}$ with $P\in\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R}),$ do we have that $N$...

Suppose we have an expression and want to define it using some symbol. One can write something like "$X:= \text{Expression}$" to mean the symbol $X$ is defined to be the expression after the symbol "$:=$". From my understand, before the definition $X$ is supposed to be just a symbol, after the d...
