In my case I get T''X=T(aX'+X'') which is...
Do you think you could write the original equation as (A-3I)(A-8I).
If you could justify writing it out like that, and you looked at the determinant of that expression, what would you find out?

For what real values of the parameters a,b,c,d does the functiob f(x,y)=ax^3+by^3+cx^4+dy^4-(x+y)^5 have a local minimum at (0,0)Homework Equations
I calculated the gradient at (0,0) and it is always zero regardless of parameters.
The problem is that the Hessian matrix is...
yy''=y'^{2}-y'^{3}
Solution
Set
z(y)=y'
then
\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}\cdot\frac{\partial x}{\partial y}=y''\cdot\frac{1}{y'}=y''\frac{1}{z}\rightarrow z\cdot z'=y''
Plugging this in and assuming z\neq0,1
yz\cdot...
Homework Statement
yy''=y'^{2}-y'^{3}
I'm quite sure I got lost somewhere. Can anyone show me where?
Thanks
Set
z(y)=y'
then
\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}=y''\cdot y'=zy'' so y''=\frac{z'}{z}
Plugging this in
y\frac{z'}{z}=z^{2}\left(1-z\right) and so...
Homework Statement
if p is a prime of the form p=4k+1 and g is a primitive root of p, show that -g is a primitive root.
I'm not sure if this is a decent proof or not. My final argument looks suspicious. Any thoughts?

How many solutions does x^{2}\equiv9 mod 7700 have?
So my question is if this solution is "legitimate"
Solution
First notice that 7700=7\cdot11\cdot2^{2}\cdot5^{2}
Thus we must solve the system \begin{cases}
x^{2}\equiv2 & \left(7\right)\\
x^{2}\equiv9 & \left(11\right)\\...
Thanks for the responses.
Dick, I tried the approach that you proposed and I solved the problem but I think i used icystrikes argument.
Could you take a look and let me know if I could have used a more number theoritic arguemnt?
Thanks

Maybe instead of a nudge i need a good shove. Here's what I've gotten
So A=\underset{i=1}{\overset{p-1}{\sum}}\frac{\left(p-1\right)!}{i} which is an integer.
Assume that A\equiv aMod(p)
A=\underset{i=1}{\overset{p-1}{\sum}}\frac{\left(p-1\right)!}{i}=\underset{\begin{array}{c}...
