    Is My Proof That ab<a Correct Given 0<a<1 and 0<b<1?

    I would like some feedback on my proof. Can I just say that : 0< a<1 ... [1] 0<b<1 ... [2] multiplying [2] by 'a' everywhere, then I get 0<ab<a And, we prove that ab<a?

    I Geometric Distribution Problem Clarification

    I think I lack the intuition. I assume it's an average driver with an average probability, yes. Does it mean that my p value is wrong? I am confused about this different values for mean : \text{Expected val }= \frac{1}{p} or \frac{1-p}{p} ? The odds of crashing each hour are independent...

    I Geometric Distribution Problem Clarification

    (Geometric). The probability of being seriously injured in a car crash in an unspecified location is about .1% per hour. A driver is required to traverse this area for 1200 hours in the course of a year. What is the probability that the driver will be seriously injured during the course of the...

    Prove Set of all onto mappings from A->A is closed

    Still not very sure on how to start. BTW, is there anything rescuable from my first approach?

    Prove Set of all onto mappings from A->A is closed

    Thanks. We need to show that ##fog## is onto or in other words fog = z = f(g(x)) =A? f: A-> A : f(a) = A g: A ->A: g(a) = A Is this correct?

    Prove Set of all onto mappings from A->A is closed

    Homework Statement Prove that set of all onto mappings of A->A is closed under composition of mappings: Homework Equations Definition of onto and closure on sets. The Attempt at a Solution Say, ##f## and ##g## are onto mappings from A to A. Now, say I have a set S(A) = {all onto mappings of A...

    Show that is not onto (##\frac{x}{x^2+1}##)

    Once, I have ##y(x^2+1) = x## what else can I do? ## y x^2 + y = x## divide all over x^2 wouldn't work.

    Show that is not onto (##\frac{x}{x^2+1}##)

    The question says that A= R-{0} and B =R. Then, that f:A ->B and I need to show whether they 1-1 and whether they are onto. Prove. Thanks for the hint.

    Show that is not onto (##\frac{x}{x^2+1}##)

    Homework Statement I need to show that $$\frac{x}{x^2+1}$$ is either onto or not. My domain is $$R-{0}$$ and range is $$R$$ Homework Equations I have learn to do this to show that a function is surjective y = $$\frac{x}{x^2+1}$$ and solve for x, but I am not sure how to proceed here. The...

    Classical Relativity and the Speed of Light

    Homework Statement Let's assume that the classical ideas of space and time are correct, so that there could only be one frame, "ether", in which light traveled with same speed in all directions. Assume that the Earth's speed relative to the ether frame is our orbital speed around the sun...
