Textbook Question

Chapter 8.5, Problem 15P

Recall from Chapter 3, equation ( 8.5), that a set of functions is linearly independent if their Wronskian is not identically zero. Calculate the Wronskian of each of the following sets to show that in each case they are linearly independent. For each set, write the differential equation of which they are solutions. Also note that each set of functions is a set of basis functions for a linear vector space (see Chapter 3, Section 14, Example 2) and that the general of the differential equation gives all vectors of the vector space.

these are solutions to a tutorial that was done and im a little lost. can someone please explain to me how these iterations function, for example i Do not know how each set of matrices produces a number if someine could explain how its done and provide steps it would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Q1) Classify the following statements as a true or false statements a. Any ring with identity is a finitely generated right R module.- b. An ideal 22 is small ideal in Z c. A nontrivial direct summand of a module cannot be large or small submodule d. The sum of a finite family of small submodules of a module M is small in M A module M 0 is called directly indecomposable if and only if 0 and M are the only direct summands of M f. A monomorphism a: M-N is said to split if and only if Ker(a) is a direct- summand in M & Z₂ contains no minimal submodules h. Qz is a finitely generated module i. Every divisible Z-module is injective j. Every free module is a projective module Q4) Give an example and explain your claim in each case a) A module M which has two composition senes 7 b) A free subset of a modale c) A free module 24 d) A module contains a direct summand submodule 7, e) A short exact sequence of modules 74.

************* ********************************* Q.1) Classify the following statements as a true or false statements: a. If M is a module, then every proper submodule of M is contained in a maximal submodule of M. b. The sum of a finite family of small submodules of a module M is small in M. c. Zz is directly indecomposable. d. An epimorphism a: M→ N is called solit iff Ker(a) is a direct summand in M. e. The Z-module has two composition series. Z 6Z f. Zz does not have a composition series. g. Any finitely generated module is a free module. h. If O→A MW→ 0 is short exact sequence then f is epimorphism. i. If f is a homomorphism then f-1 is also a homomorphism. Maximal C≤A if and only if is simple. Sup Q.4) Give an example and explain your claim in each case: Monomorphism not split. b) A finite free module. c) Semisimple module. d) A small submodule A of a module N and a homomorphism op: MN, but (A) is not small in M.
