Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Textbook Question

Chapter 1.2, Problem 31ES

Basal Metabolic Rate. An individual’s basal metabolic rate is the minimum number of calories required to sustain life when the individual is at rest. It can be thought of as the number of calories burned by an individual who sleeps all day. The Harris–Benedict formula for basal metabolic rate for a man is R = 66 + 6.23 w + 12.7 h − 6.8 a . The formula for a woman is R = 655 + 4.35 w + 4.7 h − 4.7 a . In each formula, R is in calories, w is weight, in pounds, h is height, in inches, and a is age, in years.

a. Gary weighs 185 lb, is 5 ft 11 in. tall, and is 28 years old. Use the formula for the basal metabolic rate for a man to find Gary’s basal metabolic rate.

b. Solve the formula for w.

R denotes the field of real numbers, Q denotes the field of rationals, and Fp denotes the field of p elements given by integers modulo p. You may refer to general results from lectures. Question 1 For each non-negative integer m, let R[x]m denote the vector space consisting of the polynomials in x with coefficients in R and of degree ≤ m. x²+2, V3 = 5. Prove that (V1, V2, V3) is a linearly independent (a) Let vi = x, V2 = list in R[x] 3. (b) Let V1, V2, V3 be as defined in (a). Find a vector v € R[×]3 such that (V1, V2, V3, V4) is a basis of R[x] 3. [8] [6] (c) Prove that the map ƒ from R[x] 2 to R[x]3 given by f(p(x)) = xp(x) — xp(0) is a linear map. [6] (d) Write down the matrix for the map ƒ defined in (c) with respect to the basis (2,2x + 1, x²) of R[x] 2 and the basis (1, x, x², x³) of R[x] 3. [5]

Question 4 (a) The following matrices represent linear maps on R² with respect to an orthonormal basis: = [1/√5 2/√5 [2/√5 -1/√5] " [1/√5 2/√5] A = B = [2/√5 1/√5] 1 C = D = = = [ 1/3/5 2/35] 1/√5 2/√5 -2/√5 1/√5' For each of the matrices A, B, C, D, state whether it represents a self-adjoint linear map, an orthogonal linear map, both, or neither. (b) For the quadratic form q(x, y, z) = y² + 2xy +2yz over R, write down a linear change of variables to u, v, w such that q in these terms is in canonical form for Sylvester's Law of Inertia.
