My son took a test in school. The teacher told them that they did not need to simplify improper fractions in their answers. On one question, for example, ...
What is summation of 1/k where n ranges from 1 to n. I need the general formula for the summation. I know the series tends to infinity when k tends to inf...
Here I'm considering only M-matrices that are also Z-matrices, so all the off diagonal elements are negative in all matrices I consider. If I have a ...
Why is Euler's number $\mathtt 2.71828$ and not for example $\mathtt 3.7589$? I know that $e$ is the base of natural logarithms. I know about areas o...
When $A^{T}A = AA^{T} = I$, I am told it is an orthogonal transformation $A$. But don't really get what it means. Hope to hear some explanations. $\b...
Let $x$ be a real number with the properties that $x^3+x$ and $x^5+x$ are rational. Prove that $x$ is rational. Denote $a=x^3+x$; $b=x^5+x$. We can multip...
As I understand it, the mean value theorem is where $${f}'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$$ if $f$ is continuous on the open interval (a, b) and differentia...
My discrete mathematics book says: But I read an answer, https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2415543/390226, said: ["...]There are invertible functions which...
I am auditing a Linear Algebra class, and today we were taught about the rank of a matrix. The definition was given from the row point of view: "The rank ...
