Proofs

Proof means sufficient evidence to establish the truth of something. It is obtained from deductive reasoning, rather than from empirical arguments. Proof must show that a statement is true in all cases, without a single exception.

How do you show the direct sum of the image and kernel of the linear operator is the vector space?

Ok, linear algebra isn't my strongest area but I'll have a go (please note that all vectors are in bold, if a mathematical lower case letter is not in bold, assume it to be a scalar unless otherwise indicated).

First, I'm going to assume that you already know how to prove that the kernel and image of a linear operator, say f:U->V where U and V are vector spaces, is a vector subspace of U as this needs to be proved before going on to show that the sum of ker(f) and Im(f) are a vector space.

Now, a vector space must follow the following axioms (here A represents the addition axioms, and M the multiplication axioms):

A1) associativity u+(v+w)=(u+v)+w

A2) commutativity u+v=v+u

A3) identity there exists an element 0 in U such that v+0=v

A4) existence of an inverse for all u in U there exists an element -u in U such that u+(-u)=0

M1) scalar multiplication with respect to vector addition a(u+v)=au+av

M2) scalar multiplication with respect to field addition (a+b)u=au+bu

M3) compatibility of scalar and field multiplication (ab)u=a(bu)

M4) identity 1u=u where 1 is the multiplicative identity

ker(f)={u in U | f(u)=0} (or more strictly, the set of vectors u in U such that Au=0 i.e. ker(f) is the null space of the matrix A), Im(f)={v in V | f(u)=v for some u in U}

Let ker(f)+Im(f) = W. Show W is a vector space i.e. show W satisfies the above axioms.

A1, A2, M1, M2, and M3 are all trivial/simple to prove.

A3: since Im(f) is the set off all v in V obtained from f(u), assume Im(f) = V and as V is a vector space it must have, by definition, an additive identity 0, therefore W also contains 0.

A4: since ker(f) is the null space of the matrix A, f(0)=0. Now assume that f(u)=0 and f(-u)=v, since U is a vector space u+(-u)=0 so f(u+(-u))=f(0)=0 but f(u+(-u))=f(u)+f(-u)=0+vtherefore, 0=0+v which implies v=0, so if u goes to 0 in V, its inverse -u also goes to 0. A similar process for the image shows that if u goes to v then -u goes to -v. (Thanks to Jokes Free4Me for the help with this axiom)

M4: similar to A3 except V, again by definition, must have the multiplicative identity 1 and so also exists in W.

All the axioms are satisfied, therefore W=ker(f)+Im(f) is a vector space. Q.E.D.

Let z be a complex number such that Imz 0 Prove that Im1z 0?

If the imaginary part of z is 0, then z is simply a real number and if you multiply by 1 which is the identity in multiplication of real numbers, you of course will still have a real number with imaginary part 0

Prime numbers not a factor of 12?

2 and 3 are prime numbers that are factors of 12. There is an infinite list of prime numbers that aren't.

Diagonals ac and bd of a trapezium abcd with ab parallel to CD intersect each other at o.prove that area of triangle aod equals area of boc?

First consider triangles ACD and BCD.
They share a common base, CD, and their height is the distance between the parallel lines AB and CD.
Consequently, area(ACD) = area(BCD) . . . . . . . . eqn 1
But ACD = AOD + OCD and BCD = BOC + OCD
So area(ACD) = area(AOD) + area(OCD)
and area(BCD) = area(BOC) + area(OCD)

Substituting in eqn 1,
area(AOD) + area(OCD) = area(BOC) + area(OCD)
area(AOD) = area(BOC)

What is the next number in a sequence 60 32 18?

This is a highly ambiguous question, because there are many ways to continue any finite sequence. In fact, there are infinitely many, because any number whatsoever can be the next number in some sequence. In this case, I can think of at least 2 that make sense.

  1. 32 is 28 less than 60, and 18 is 14 short of 32. So first they subtract 28, then 14, which is half of 28. If u continue that logic, u would take half of 14 (7) and subtract it from 18, so the next number would be 11.
  2. Again, they subtract 28 and then 14, which 14 less than 28. So the next number to be subtracted should be 14 - 14 = 0. So the next number should be 18 again.

I could go on and on, but u get the idea.

Math help can anyone show you how to do this please Prove or disprove that if a and b are rational number then a to the power of b is rational?

2 and 1/2 are rational numbers, but 2^(1/2) is the square root of 2. It is well known that the square root of 2 is not rational.

What does pythagarean theorem state?

In a right triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

Prove by mathematical induction that 3n-1 is divisible by 2?

It's not. If n = 2, then 3n - 1 = 3*2 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5, which isn't divisible by 2.

Find the product of two numbers Now reverse the digits and find the product being the same?

The trivial answer is that any two numbers that reverse to each other will have this property. For example:

19 * 91 = 91 * 19

237 * 732 = 732 * 237

etc.


But apart from those, here are the two-digit pairs where this works:


12*42 = 21*24 = 504

12*63 = 21*36 = 756

12*84 = 21*48 = 1008

13*62 = 31*26 = 806

13*93 = 31*39 = 1209

14*82 = 41*28 = 1148

21*24 = 12*42 = 504

21*36 = 12*63 = 756

21*48 = 12*84 = 1008

23*64 = 32*46 = 1472

23*96 = 32*69 = 2208

24*63 = 42*36 = 1512

24*84 = 42*48 = 2016

26*31 = 62*13 = 806

26*93 = 62*39 = 2418

28*41 = 82*14 = 1148

31*39 = 13*93 = 1209

32*46 = 23*64 = 1472

32*69 = 23*96 = 2208

34*86 = 43*68 = 2924

36*42 = 63*24 = 1512

36*84 = 63*48 = 3024

39*62 = 93*26 = 2418

42*48 = 24*84 = 2016

43*68 = 34*86 = 2924

46*96 = 64*69 = 4416

48*63 = 84*36 = 3024

64*69 = 46*96 = 4416

The relationship between triangles and circles?

The three vertices of the triangle uniquely determine a circle that circumscribes the triangle. The three sides of the triangle uniquely determine the circle that inscribes the triangle.

Is this equation solvable 3x plus 4y-6c equals -7 and x plus 9y equals 19 and 5x-y equals 3?

YES : Equation (1) 5x - y = 3

x + 9y = 19 : Multiply by 5 →Equation (2) 5x + 45y = 95

Subtract Equation (1) from Equation (2) to eliminate 'x' terms. This gives : 45y -(-y) = 95 - 3 : 46y = 92 : y = 2

Substituting for y in Equation(1) gives : 5x - 2 = 3 : 5x = 3 + 2 = 5 : x = 1

Substituting for x and y in the equation 3x + 4y - 6c = -7 gives : 3 + 8 - 6c = -7 : 6c = 11 + 7 = 18 : c = 3
