Chapter 3.2, Problem 7E

Assign a grade of A (correct), C (partially correct), or F (failure) to each. Justify assignments of grades other than A.

  1. Claim. If (R,+,) is a ring, a,bR, and a0, then the equation ax=b has a unique solution.
    "Proof." Suppose that p and q are two solutions to ax=b. Then ap=b and aq=b. Therefore, ap=aq. Therefore, p=q.
  2. Claim. If (R,+,) is a finite integral domain, then (R,+,) is a field.
    "Proof." Suppose that R has n elements. Let xR . Then the n+1 powers of x:e=x0,x,x2,x3,...,xn are not all distinct. Therefore, xt=xr for integers t and r, where we may assume that t<r. Then xtxt=xtxr, Therefore, e=xrt. and therefore e=xxrt1. Thus, e=xxrt1. has an inverse. Hence R is a field.
  3. Claim. Let (R,+,) be an integral domain with a, b, cR and unity element 1. If ab=ac and a0, than b=c.
    "Proof." Suppose that ab=ac and a0. Then b=1b=(a1a)b=a1(ab)=a1(ac)=(a1a)c=1c=c. Therefore b=c.

The entire graph of the function g is shown in the figure below. Write the domain and range of g as intervals or unions of intervals. 5 4 -3. 2 3 omain = range ☐ =
Can you prove this integral equation?Note: It also has an application to prove that 22/7 > π.
1. The number of claims is modelled by a NB2(n, p) (the number of fail- ures before the nth success with probability p of success). The sample x = (x1, x2,,XN) with N = 100 returns N N xj = 754, Σε = 70425. j=1 Estimate the parameters n and p using the point estimates. [5 Marks]
