Explanation Given: The change-of-base formula. It is known that the change-of-base formula is: log b x = log a x log a b . Here x , a and b are apositive real number such that a ≠ 1 and b ≠ 1 . Change-of-base formula is often applied to base 10 or base e . The change of base formula converts a logarithm of one base to a ratio of logarithms of a different base

Percentage

A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.

Algebraic Expressions

In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.

Numbers

Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.

Subtraction

Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

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.
