    Proving Subsets of Rn: Steve's Questions Answered

    That is the definition we received today in class, which was similar to what the textbook said, except it wasn't laid out as neat and orderly as this one. I now understand the topic. I apologize for being stubborn earlier about the textbook quotes. I realize now all i needed was this...

    Linearity Rules for Proving Non-Linearity

    Does anyone have a straightforward link to linearity rules? My textbook is not very helpful and my prof never knows what he is talking about :(. I have a few "prove this is not linear" questions to do f(x)=(|x1|,|x2|) f(x)=(1,2)+3x f(x)=(0,1) I should know this, but i tend to forget the...
