- Eigenvalues of $2\times 2$ Symmetric Matrices are Real by Considering Characteristic Polynomials
Let $A$ be a $2\times 2$ real symmetric matrix.
Prove that all the eigenvalues of $A$ are real numbers by considering the characteristic polynomial of $A$.
Proof.
Let $A=\begin{bmatrix}
a& b \\
c& d
\end{bmatrix}$.
Then […]
- A Ring is Commutative if Whenever $ab=ca$, then $b=c$
Let $R$ be a ring and assume that whenever $ab=ca$ for some elements $a, b, c\in R$, we have $b=c$.
Then prove that $R$ is a commutative ring.
Proof.
Let $x, y$ be arbitrary elements in $R$. We want to show that $xy=yx$.
Consider the […]
- Interchangeability of Limits and Probability of Increasing or Decreasing Sequence of Events
A sequence of events $\{E_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ is said to be increasing if it satisfies the ascending condition
\[E_1 \subset E_2 \subset \cdots \subset E_n \subset \cdots.\]
Also, a sequence $\{E_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ is called decreasing if it satisfies the descending condition
\[E_1 […]
- Determine the Values of $a$ so that $W_a$ is a Subspace
For what real values of $a$ is the set
\[W_a = \{ f \in C(\mathbb{R}) \mid f(0) = a \}\]
a subspace of the vector space $C(\mathbb{R})$ of all real-valued functions?
Solution.
The zero element of $C(\mathbb{R})$ is the function $\mathbf{0}$ defined by […]
- The Vector Space Consisting of All Traceless Diagonal Matrices
Let $V$ be the set of all $n \times n$ diagonal matrices whose traces are zero.
That is,
\begin{equation*}
V:=\left\{ A=\begin{bmatrix}
a_{11} & 0 & \dots & 0 \\
0 &a_{22} & \dots & 0 \\
0 & 0 & \ddots & \vdots \\
0 & 0 & \dots & […]

- Idempotent Linear Transformation and Direct Sum of Image and Kernel
Let $A$ be the matrix for a linear transformation $T:\R^n \to \R^n$ with respect to the standard basis of $\R^n$.
We assume that $A$ is idempotent, that is, $A^2=A$.
Then prove that
\[\R^n=\im(T) \oplus \ker(T).\]
Proof.
To prove the equality $\R^n=\im(T) […]
- Differentiation is a Linear Transformation
Let $P_3$ be the vector space of polynomials of degree $3$ or less with real coefficients.
(a) Prove that the differentiation is a linear transformation. That is, prove that the map $T:P_3 \to P_3$ defined by
\[T\left(\, f(x) \,\right)=\frac{d}{dx} f(x)\]
for any $f(x)\in […]
