    Prove: X Contains at Most n(n-1)/2 Elements in Subset of a Group

    Let's see what we are given. We have G as a group and A as a subset of G. Thus, since G is a group, we have the following giveaways: 1) G is closed under the binary operation 2) G is associative under the binary operation 3) G has an identity element 4) G has an inverse for each element A is a...

    Determining whether homomorphism or not

    Definition of a homomorphism from a general perspective doesn't necessarily mean that it preserves a multiplicative structure. A homomorphism doesn't even have to be using multiplication as the binary operation. It depends also if you're dealing with let's say, rings, or groups (ring theory...

    Proving Normalcy of H in Finite Group G

    What can you say about the left and right cosets of H in G? Do they coincide under those conditions? Once you can establish that, it is trivial.

    Why do some countries have stricter penalties for drunk drivers than the US?

    Stoned and drunk driving are NOT the same thing. I'm not going to lie. I've used a considerable amount of pot in the past and these "dangers" presented are just ridiculously overstated. I am not encouraging use of it, but I've known no one who was a stoner and had considerable trouble driving...

    Learning Xcode: A Guide for Mac Users Wanting to Compile C++ Programs

    If you want to create a standard C++ class, create a new project that is a tool which is a C++ file. There's descriptions there. There's also the XCode manual that you can refer to which basically tells you which project to choose. It's complex-looking at first, but XCode isn't that hard to...

    How to Access and Display Network Folder Contents in C#?

    Well if you know XML, you can create a program that uses resource calls to retrieve and store the information needed. I haven't used C# before, but it should have a tool that can open sockets between two machines so you can retrieve and pass information. Thus, create your program to look any...

    Java Why aren't my images appearing in my Java application?

    The interpreter's location is irrelevant because you can have work-related material in other directories. A standard IDE for Java such as Eclipse can obviously be in a different location (such as c:\eclipse) and compile things fine from other directories because the compiler KNOWS where to find...

    Optimal number of times of brushing teeth?

    Twice a day for me. I just use an electric toothbrush. Feels so good on my teeth and noticeable differences.

    Can workplace anger lead to quitting a job?

    In terms of getting angry to the point when I'm shaking (I suppose this is my adrenaline rushing), that happens probably 1-5 times a year.

    American football starts tonight

    lol, I'm a loyal SD fan I do believe the window is open for them... you can't compare this team to a team from back in the 90s or even a few years back. Football teams continually evolve. That's why you can have a 16-0 team lose to the NY Giants who were what, 0-4 in the beginning of the season?
