AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around proving that the image subspace R(T) is T-invariant for a linear transformation T: V → V. The key steps outlined include showing that for any x in R(T), there exists a u in V such that x = T(u), leading to T(x) being in T(V). This establishes that T(V) is indeed T-invariant. The conversation also references a link to Yahoo Answers for further assistance. The focus remains on the mathematical proof of T-invariance.

Hello Emeril,

Follow the steps
\begin{aligned}
x\in T(V)&\Rightarrow \exists u\in V:x=T(u)\\&\Rightarrow T(x)=T(T(u))\\&\Rightarrow T(x)\in T(V)\\&\Rightarrow T(V)\mbox{ is } T\mbox{-invariant}
\end{aligned}
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
