    How Does Exponential Decay Model the Lifespan of Computer Chips?

    Homework Statement The probability that a particular computer chip fails after a hours of operation is given by 0.00005∫e^(-0.00005t)dt on the interval [a, ∝] i. find the probability that the computer chip fails after 15,000 hours of operation ii. of the chips that are still operating after...

    Bases and Coordinates: B1 and B2 for [R][/3] - Homework Statement

    My apologies for the absolutely horrible notation. I used the "x2" button but deleted Sub and replaced it with my values (as I have never used this type of button before.) I was very disappointed to have typed out the entire question, post it and then find that it did not make sense as it had...

    Linear Transformation and isomorphisms

    Homework Statement Suppose a linear transformation T: [P][/2]→[R][/3] is defined by T(1+x)= (1,3,1), T(1-x)= (-1,1,1) and T(1-[x][/2])=(-1,2,0) a) use the given values of T and linearity properties to find T(1), T(x) and T([x][/2]) b) Find the matrix representation of T (relative to standard...

    Finding the Kernel of a transformation

    Sorry to bother you again but were so helpful before. I have now come across this part (in the same question) e) Using the standard basis B={(1,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,0,1)}, find the matrix representation of T. I attempted the question by expressing the vector v=(1,2,1) with respect to the basis B. I...

    Finding the Kernel of a transformation

    Oh, that makes sense! Thank you for all your help. I have now calculated the coefficients and formed the matrix 1 2 1 0 1 -1 1 1 -3 Which has a kernel of zero (what I was looking for). I appreciate all of your suggestions. Is there an option on this site to give feedback of users...

    Finding the Kernel of a transformation

    I am thinking there is a vector missing? As the result should be a 3x3 matrix?

    Finding the Kernel of a transformation

    Thank you for your help. So my matrix should consist of the vectors, v=(1,2,1) and ui=(0,1,-1)?

    Solving Vectors & Axioms Homework

    I have looked into it and you are correct, they don't break the commutative property of addition. Thank you for your advice.

    Solving Vectors & Axioms Homework

    Thank you for your help. I didn't think my calculations looked right algebraically but I rushed and wrote x1 time -x1 = -x1. I will look further into this equation. It makes sense to not swaps the "x" and "y" now that you say it. Thank you again, I appreciate the time you have taken to help.

    Finding the Kernel of a transformation

    Homework Statement Let T:[R[/3]→[R[/3] so that when u=[R][/3] and v=(1,2,1), then T(u)=u×v a) Show that T is a linear transformation. b) Find T((3,0,2)) c) Find a basis for Ker( T ). Give a geometric description of Ker( T ). Homework Equations Properties of a linear transformation: i) T(u+v)=...

    Solving Vectors & Axioms Homework

    Homework Statement Let V be the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers. Suppose we define addition and scalar multiplication of elements of V in an unusual way so that when u=(x1, y1), v=(x2, y2) and k∈ℝ u+v= (x1⋅x2, y1+y2) and k⋅u=(x1/k, y1/k) Show detailed calculations of one case...
