    Find the Closure of these subsets

    Homework Statement X=R real numbers, U in T, the topology <=> U is a subset of R and for each s in U there is a t>s such that [s,t) is a subset of U where [s,t) = {x in R; s<=x<t} Find the closure of each of the subsets of X: (a,b), [a,b), (a,b], [a,b] The Attempt at a Solution I don't...

    M and N: Relationship in Spanning and Subsets of Polynomials

    * If p1,p2,……pm span Pn, write down a mathematical relationship between m and n. I know that Pn means the space of all polynomials of degree at most n, and this is an (n+1) dimension space, but I am not sure what kind of mathematical relationship the question is looking for :s Any help is...

    Metric space and subsets of Euclidean space

    I am having some troubles understanding the following, any help to me will be greatly appreciated. 1) Let S1 = {x E R^n | f(x)>0 or =0} Let S2 = {x E R^n | f(x)=0} Both sets S1 and S2 are "closed" >>>>>I understand why S1 is closed, but I don't get why S2 is closed, can anyone...

    Uniform continuity, bounded subsets

    Homework Statement Show that if f: S -> Rn is uniformly continuous and S is bounded, then f(S) is bounded. Homework Equations Uniformly continuous on S: for every e>0 there exists d>0 s.t. for every x,y in S, |x-y| < d implies |f(x) - f(y)| < e bounded: a set S in Rn is bounded if it is...

    What Conditions Allow Nontrivial Intersection of Subspaces U and W in C4[x]?

    Homework Statement Let: \alpha \in C_{4}[x] (the space of all 4-deg complex ploymonials) We'll define: U = Sp( \{\ x^3 - 2i \alpha x, x^2 +1 \} ) \\ W = Sp( \{\ x^3 + ix, (1-i)x^2 - \alpha x \}) as subspaces of C_{4}[x] a) find all values of alpha so that: W \cap U \neq \{ 0 \}...

    Proving Cardinality of $\mathbb{N}$ Subsets

    How can I prove that \left| {\left\{ {A \subset \mathbb{N}:\left| A \right| \in \mathbb{N}} \right\}} \right| = \left| \mathbb{N} \right| ?

    Can someone explain subsets to me? Not sure how he got this, answers posted

    Hello everyone I'm confused on how he got this... the question says: Let S = {a,b,c} and for each integer i = 0, 1, 2, 3, let S_i be the set of all subests of S that have i elements. List the elements in S_o,S_1,S_2,S_3. Is {S_0,S_1,S_2,S_3} a partion of P(S)? Here is the answer...

    Confused on directions, List the elements in the subsets?

    Hello everyone. There arn't any problems like this in this section, so I'm kind of lost on what they want. It says... Let S = {a,b,c} and for each integer i = 0, 1, 2, 3 let S_i be the set of all subsets of S that have i elements. List the elemnts in S_o,S_1,S_2,S_3. Is {S_0,S_1,S_2,S_3}...

    MATLAB Training subsets of data in Matlab

    Hi all, Maybe i shud put it this way. Suppose I want to perform training on part of the data and leave the rest for testing. the training set is separated into subsets whereby I train one subset first, and use its weights and biases as weights to the next subset and so on. Then how to I write...

    Sums of Reciprocals of Infinite Subsets of Primes

    Can someone confirm/disprove the following: If X\subset\mathbb{P} is infinite, then \sum_{n\in X}\frac{1}{n} diverges or is irrational.

    Subsets and functions math help

    Suppose f:A--->B and S and T are subsets of A. Prove or give a counter example. (a) if S\subseteqT, then f(S)\subseteqf(T) (b) if f(S)\subseteqf(T), then S\subseteqT I know for a fact that (a) is true. The reason I say this is because if S\subseteqT ... then for example: Let S be the...

    Problem with null indexed family of subsets.

    I have been reviewing my set theory and topology and recently came across an assertion I was not familiar with, and frankly have trouble grasping. In words, let I be a set (which is to serve as the set of indices), then for each \alpha \in I let A_\alpha be a subset of some set S. Now...

    Is the Intersection of Nested Subsets Always Non-Empty?

    I'm just an interested laymn, and I'm trying to improve my knowledge in some areas where I'm weak. To this end, I found that Shilov's Elementary Real and Complex Analysis was highly recommended, and the Dover edition was available for only ten bucks, so how could I go wrong? But it didn't take...

    Understanding Proofs Involving Subsets

    Hi, I am having trouble with these proofs; I don't know if I am doing these right. I'd appreciate some help. Thank you. If X---> y is a map, then let B1, B2, B \subseteq X. i. f(B1 U B2) = f(B1) U f(B2) To prove this I have: f(B1 U B2)=f(B1) U f(B2) Since B1 U B2 \subseteq B1, we...

    Understanding Metric Spaces: Subsets vs. Subspaces

    Having some difficult with general concepts of metric spaces: 1) What is the difference between a subset and a subspace. let's say we have metric space X. and A is a set in that space. Is A necessarily a metric space itself? 2) Why is the metric of X ( d(x,y) for x,y belonging to X )...

    Two Stats questions for Math nerds (std. deviation, mean, subsets)

    1. If a school offers 3200 separate courses and a survey of these courses determines that the class size is 50 with a standard deviation of 2, what would one expect for the average and standard deviation of a subset of 50 of these classes selected randomly? 2. In a survey to estimate the...

    Exploring Infinity: Proportional Subsets in an Infinite Set

    By definition, an infinite set is a set whose subset is proportional to the set which contains it. The sequence of numbers whether it be expressed as (n+1) or not, is infinite. Then (I am veturing into grounds I know little of here...) I am guessing it is safe to say that the numbers (n+1< or...

    Show subsets of the plane are open

    Show that the subsets of the plane are open: 1.) A= {(x,y)|-1<x<1,-1<y<1} 2.) C= {(x,y)|2<x2 + y 2<4} I have no clue on how to start with this problem. I have another question. What does this notation imply. f(x,y)=some function.

    The Number Of Proper Subsets is 2^n - 1

    Hello, I am supposed to show that the number of proper subsets of S = {a1, a2, ... an} is 2^n - 1. I know that the number of subsets of S is 2^n. And I know also know that the number of proper subsets of S is 2^n - 1 since S is not a proper subset of itself. But how do I show that? I...
