Suppose for a given matrix A, Sarah finds the eigenvectors v1 = [1 3 4 5]' and v2 = [5 6 3 4]' form a base for eigenspace of labmda = 2. Now suppose Janie finds the eigenvectors v3 = [1 2 2 3]' and v4 = [7 8 7 6]' form a base for eigenspace of lambda = 4. Is Janie's solution compatible with...
Hello, everyone.
I would like to get some concrete examples of the number of distinct bases of k-dimensional vector space W over a finite field F with q elements.
The formula for the number of distinct bases of W is ( p 412 Dummit )

1. A transformation from base S to base T. The three combinations
C(x)=(-1/sqrt(2))(C(+) - C(-)), C(y)=(-i/sqrt(2))(C(+) - C(-)) and C(z)=C(0)

Hi All
I have a question that I require an answer to. For the above titration, concentration of A-(conjugate base of acid) is the same as concentration of HA at half equivalence. It is at this point that pka=ph of the solution. I agree to this conclusion, but why is the concentration of A-...
I know that logarithms to the base 1 is undefined, due to the reason that:
\log_1{x} = \frac{\log_a{x}}{\log_a{1}}
And this leads to divison by zero, which is undefined.
There was a question in one of my textbooks that asked describe the graph that results if y = \log_1{x}. Is such a graph...
So I was browsing Wikipedia, and I stumbled across this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_base_13_function

Why is the enthalpy of neutralisation of a strong acid mixed with a strong base always the same, no matter what acid and base combination you use, provided they are 'strong' acids and bases?
