    Non Linear System - Second Order System

    1// Is it safe to state that for non linear system it's safe to assume/start off with x1 dot = x2? 2// The solutions to x1 dot and x2 dot are provided in the attached. I'm unsure how to arrive at said solutions and require assistance. Thanks in advance.

    Vector Subspaces Defined

    Suppose that V and W are vector subspaces of Rn. If I define: V + W = {v+w: v belonging to V, w belonging to W} How can I prove that V+W is also a vector subspace of Rn and ALSO how could verify that (for example) <(1,0,1), (-1,0,1)> + <(3,2,1)> = R3 Thanks

    Prove the Transitive Theory

    Prove the following theory: 1) R1 is a subset of R2 => All of R3, R1R3 is a subset of R2R3 and 2) R1 is a subset of R2 => All of n, (R1)^n is a subset (R2)^n 3) Suppose R is transitive, then for all of n, R^n is a subset of R.

    Systems of Equations : Matrices

    Please give step by step instructions and name each step like triangular form, augmented matrix etc so I know when and what to do and can understand it. We are not using calculator so the steps need to be shown to the solution. 1) Solve the system using elementary row operations on the equations of the augmented matrix. Fol
