H: Help with proof Let $X$ be a metric space, $x \in X$ and $S \subset X$. Then, I have to prove that $x \in Cl(S)$ if and only if, every open ball of $X$ centered at $x$ has non-empty intersection with $S$. I managed to do the first half of the proof but got stuck with the converse of it. I checked my book for the co...
H: Different answers for probability density function and cumulative density function I have a function $f(x)=2ae^{-ax}(1-e^{-ax})$, for $x>0, a>0$. This is a pdf. I need to find $P(X>1)$.

H: Discrete math proof issue This is a question from my discrete math quiz. I was asked to prove there exists a Q(x). I used Disjunctive Syllogism to prove it. I was marked incorrectly because I used two different variables in the syllogism. My view is the variables can be implicitly the same, and I don't think this i...
H: Find the number of cosets$ [G:H] $? Assume that $G$ is a cyclic group of order $n$, that $G =\ <a> $, that $k|n$ , and that $H=<a^k>$. Find $[G:H] $ the number of cosets to the subgroup H I think that since $k|n$ $\Rightarrow$ $<a^k> = e$ then $[G:H] = 0 $ Am I right ? AI: It can't ever be possible that $[G : H]...
H: Proof of compactness theorem in first order logic - clarification My question is about this question and the users's answer to it. Here's the statement of the compactness theorem: If $T$ is a first order theory in some language $L$. The $T$ has a model if and only if every finite subset of $T$ has a model. One dir...
H: Derivatives of these two functions of $x$ containing sine and exponential functions Can you help me with getting the derivatives of the following two functions please. \begin{gather*} f_1(x)=3^{\sin x}5^{\cos x} \\ f_2(x)=e^{x^2}+\sin^2 x. \end{gather*} It is too complicated for me. Could someone provide me with s...
H: Which of the following statement is not necessarily true for the product of rings $R \times R$ when it is true for $R$? $R$ is a ring. Which of the following statements is not necessarily true for the product of rings $R \times R$ when it is true for $R$? A. There exists some generator whose order is finite. B. $R$...
H: Probability of A given $P(A) + P(B), P(A|B),$ and $P(B|A)$. Given $P(A|B)= 0.5, P(B|A)=0.4,$ and $P(A) + P(B) = 0.9$ what is $P(A)=$ ?. AI: Let $a=\Pr(A)$ and $b=\Pr(B)$. We are told that $a+b=0.9$. We have $\Pr(A|B)\Pr(B)=\Pr(A\cap B)$. Thus $0.5b=\Pr(A\cap B)$. Similarly, $0.4a=\Pr(A\cap B)$. It follows that $0.5...
H: How to calculate Bessel Function of the first kind fast? I have wrote a C++ code to calculate the first kind of Bessel Functon by its infinite series definition. I took the sum of the first 20 series as the value of Bessel Function, which is same as MATLBA besselj()'s result by the accuracy of 1e-14. However, in my...
H: Constant limits of integral: ∭D dxdydz/(x+y+z+1)^3, where D={x>0,y>0,z>0,x+y+z<2} What are the constant limits (obtained through change of variables) of the integral: $$\iiint\limits_D \frac{dx \ dy \ dz}{(x+y+z+1)^3}, \quad \text{where} \; \; D=\left\{x>0,y>0,z>0,x+y+z<2 \right\}$$ I am supposed to use the 'tripl...
H: Continuous functions in topology I am trying to solve the following problem: In which topologies (uniform, product, box) are the following functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R^\omega}$ continuous? $f(t)=(t,2t,3t,....)$ $g(t)=(t,t,t,.......)$ $h(t)= (t,\frac{1}{2}t, \frac{1}{3}t,...)$ I dont get why do the fun...
H: Left-isolated points in totally ordered set Let $X$ be a totally ordered set. I say that a point $x$ is "left-isolated" if there is some $\alpha < x$ such that there is only one point $y$ which satisfies $\alpha < y \leq x$, that is, $y=x$. I assume that there is some countable subset $D \subset X$ such that any no...
H: showing that some topology of $\mathbb{R}^2$ is not Hausdorff Let $T$ be a topology on $\mathbb{R}^2$ generated by a basis consisting of sets that equal $\mathbb{R}^2$ subtracted with finitely many complete lines. The question is that showing that $T$ is not Hausdorff. In fact, I solve this problem using connectedn...

If $p,q,r$ are real numbers satisfying the condition $p + q + r =0$, then the roots of the quadratic equation $3px^2 +5qx +7r=0$ are (A)Positive (B)Negative (C)Real and distinct (d)Imaginary Actually im a 10 class student i don't know any of it, but my elder brother (IIT Coaching) cannot solv...
H: Why do these stationary subsets union to the entire set? In proving the following theorem, I do not see why $S$ is the union of the pairwise disjoint stationary sets $S'_\eta$. It seems that for this to hold, you need every $\alpha_\xi$ to be equal to some $\gamma_\eta$? Theorem. Suppose $\kappa$ is regular unco...
H: Is $\omega = dU = sin(x+y)dx+cos(x+y)dy$ an exact form? In my thermodynamics homework I should prove that $dU = sin(x+y)dx+cos(x+y)dy$ is a function of state. Which means it's integration over any path be constant or in other word $dU$ should be an exact form. I used the Poincare Lemma and had the following calculu...

A set $E \subseteq X$ is said to be disconnected if there exist two non-empty open sets $G_1$ and $G_2$ such that $G_1 \...
H: Supremum - why this holds? Could you please explain to me why this holds? $$\sup_{x \in (0,5)}\left|\frac{x}{n}\cdot \ln \frac{x}{n} \right| \neq \sup_{x \in \mathbb{}R^+}\left|\frac{x}{n}\cdot \ln \frac{x}{n} \right| $$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}$. I think that both sup values are $\infty$ but it is incorrect. AI:...
H: Proof: If $r \in R$ is irreducible then $ur$ is irreducible where $u$ is a unit. If $r \in R$ is irreducible then $r=ab, a,b \in R$ implies $a$ or $b$ is a unit. How does one proof $ur$ is irreducible if $u$ is a unit. I must proof: $ur = mn, m, n\in R$ then $m$ or $n$ is a unit. Suppose $n$ is a unit, then we are ...
