    How does a norm differ from an absolute value?

    How does a norm differ from an absolute value? For example, is \|\mathbf{x}\| = \sqrt{x_1^2 + \cdots + x_n^2} any different than |\mathbf{x}| = \sqrt{x_1^2 + \cdots + x_n^2} ??

    Complex Function: Real & Imaginary Parts, Square, Reciprocal & Absolute Value

    I am to find the imaginary part, real part, square, reciprocal, and absolut value of the complex function: y(x,t)=ie^{i(kx-\omega t)} y(x,t)=i\left( cos(kx- \omega t)+ i sin(kx- \omega t) \right) y(x,t)=icos(kx- \omega t)-sin(kx- \omega t) the imaginary part is cos(kx- \omega t) the...

    Are [a,b) and (a,b] Homeomorphic in Absolute Value Topology?

    Hi all, I have the following question. Are the following spaces homeomorphic in the real number space with absolute value topology? 1) [a,b) and (a,b] 2) (a,b) and (r,s)U(u,v) where r < s < u < v. For 1), I got that they are not homeomorphic because it fails the topological property that...

    Understanding Absolute Value Sign in Derivative

    Hi So I am a little confused about the absolute value sign here. Is the derivative right: [x-1/|x-1|]e^x + |x-1|e^x But what do I do when I set this to zero? Do I get two expressions, one for x>1 and one for x<1 ? (thus removing the absolute value signs)

    Is |\sin x|=-\sin x as x Approaches 0-?

    Is it correct that |\sin x|=-\sin x as x\rightarrow 0-? It's clear for a function like y=x, but I ask the question since the sine oscillates from positive to negative values, so for different x's the abs. value is either pos. or neg. Or do I only need to consider values of x that are between...

    Simple absolute value problem with inequalities

    "Simple" absolute value problem with inequalities OK...Im totally stuck and could use some help :) given...for all e>0, d>0...the following holds |x-a|<d => |f(x) - f(a)| < e where f(x) = sqrt(x) how do I find d in terms of e? Thanks in advance

    Is the Absolute Value of an Integrable Function Also Integrable?

    hello all Iv been working on a lot of integrability questions and I am having trouble with this problem let f be integrable on [a,b] then show that |f| is integrable and that |\int_{a}^{b}f|\le \int_{a}^{b}|f| now this is what i know \int_{a}^{b^U}f =\int_{a_{L}}^{b}f= \int_{a}^{b}f...

    How Do You Solve Absolute Value and Quadratic Inequalities?

    (|2x-3| + x) / (x^2 - 3x + 2) < 1 |(x^2 - 5x + 4) / ( x^2 - 4)| =< 1 Can somebody help me with this quadratic inequalities, please... If you have time, please also give me an idea of how you solved them... Thank you!

    Why Does the Limit of |x+4|/x+4 Equal 4 as x Approaches -4 from the Right?

    Compute the limit of: (absolute value) f(x) = 4 (absolute value of x + 4) / (x+4) as x approaches -4 from the right. I got 4 because x>-4. Am I right?

    Double integral with absolute value of x-y

    int(int(abs(x-y)*6*x^2*y)) the range of x and y are 0,1. Normally i'd check to split it up and change the limits, but i think my brain is broken because I'm not seeing it at the moment. simple question that i need to know how to do for stats without using maple :P
