@N3buchadnezzar Oh noes you sad.

Hey guys

@Pedro: Are you there?

He's not, I will be his representative.

Ok Mike

yo can anybody help me solve a riddle

The teacher of the class I'm TAing just sent me the exercise list she will be assigning as homework

I spotted a mistake and I just wanted to check it with you

Ook

What class is this?

Linear algebra

Oh, shoot.

It's terribly silly but I really don't want to email a prof if it's not 100% correct

cms.dm.uba.ar/academico/materias/2docuat2012/algebra_lineal/… 17)b) & c)

It says "extract a basis from the following generating sets"

Nice, I got it right.

b) isn't a generating set since $\mathbb{R}[x]$ is infinite dimensional

and there are just 3 vectors

You misread, it's asking for a basis for the vector space it generates.

Nah, 17

Right, I read the $\subset$ symbol as saying "This may not be the full space"

ahhh, you're right

Can't correct your teacher then

anyone up for a riddle?

I gotta solve this urgently

5 # 2 = 11; 2 # 4 = 14; 3 # 2 = 7; 4 # 5 = 30; What is 8 # 4.

Hi everyone, How can I say with words that $P(X)=C(X−\alpha_1)\cdots(x−\alpha_n)$, can I say P is divided into simple roots ? thanks

The problem statement could be clearer though

Thanks for your help @Mike

No prob

wtf LaTex doesn't work here

oh nvm saw the guidline

@FernandoMartin OK.

Nevermind, @Mike helped me out

Thanks anyway!

@Nico don't know but bump

Welcome back Graduate

haven't talked in 17 days

If I multiply g(a) by 0. And g(a) is not defined, will the product be zero?

yes

how come

anything * 0 is 0

interesting that you can operate with not defined values

@PedroTamaroff I'm replacing you!

Hm

If you have 0x

if that's your function

@Shahar "$g(a) \cdot 0$" is nonsense if $g(a)$ is not defined.

and you want to find the value at inifinity

@Mike *Hand to mouth and backstab. Shh... it's all over now.$

then it will be 0

@Shahar "Value at infinity" is not a well-defined concept.

if g(x) = x/0

and infinity is not defined I thonk

think*
