    Rounding to the nearest 1/2 inch

    When measuring a line with a ruler. When the question asks you to round to the nearest 1/2 inch, how do you determine if it is the nearest whole number or the nearest 1/2 number? Is the answer always a whole number?

    The Division Theorem

    Let p and a be positive integers and suppose that p|a2. a) Show that p|(ra + sp)2 for all integers r; s. b) Use part a), the definition of prime integer, and Theorem 15.1.1 to construct a proof by induction that p|a. [Hint: If a (< or =) p consider p = qa + r, where 0 (< or =) r < a. If p < a consider a = qp + r, where 0 (<

    Inequalities Using Interval Notation and Set-Builder Notation

    4(3w+4)greater than or equal to 4(2w+12), it says to put answers in interval notation, that goes along with this one: 4-(3/2x-3)>1/2(x+5) I am not sure how to sove either one of these, they are somewhat the same except the second question asks for the answer in set builder notation.

    Method found in the proof below to find a primitive elements

    Use the method found in the proof below to find a primitive element for the extension Q(i, 5^(1/4)) over Q. *Recall that the extension field F of K is called a simple extension if there exists an element In this case, u is called a primitive element. **Theorem: Let F be a finite extension of the field K. If F is separabl

    Galois Theory: Algebraic Extension of a Perfect Field

    Show that any algebraic extension of a perfect field is perfect (using the below hint only). Hint: Let K be a perfect field and F an algebraic extension of K. If F is not perfect, then there is a polynomial f(x) an element of F[x] that has an irreducible factor p(x) with a repeated root u. Here u is algebraic over K; let g(x)

    Galois Group Example Problem

    Show the Galois group of (x^2-2)(x^2+2) over Q (rationals) is isomorphic to Z_2xZ_2 (Direct product group of integers modulo 2). For your choice of your mapping theta, that is operation preserving, 1 to 1, and onto please show that is well defined.

    Understanding the quadratic equation

    1. When solving a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, it is possible for the b2 - 4ac term inside the square root (the discriminant) to be negative, thus forcing us to take the square root of a negative number. The solutions to the equation will then be complex numbers (i.e., involve the imaginary unit i). Please
