![Prove the following:
(a) If two observables are compatible, their corresponding operators share a com-
mon set of eigenvectors. Note: While this theorem holds for non-degenerate and
degenerate cases, you may only consider the case where the operators are non-
degenerate.
(b) The kinetic energy operator in H = L²(R) is defined by the action
K =
ħ² d²
2m dx²
Let D(K) be the domain of K consisting of continuous and infinitely differentiable
functions that vanish at infinity. For any two functions y(x) and (x) in D(K),
show that (p|Ĥ) = (H). In this sense, K is said to be symmetric in its
domain.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8400ff80-3644-4e64-8dd8-3b136c5ec31f%2Fde65c79e-6488-4f20-84f7-ecea758b2100%2Farclgu_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
