Given that the joint probability Pr(w,x,y,z) over four variables factorizes as
Pr(w,x,y,z) = Pr(w) Pr(z|y) Pr(y|x,w)Pr(x)
show that x is independent of w by showing that Pr(x,w) = Pr(x)Pr(w).
Attempt: if we simply assume Pr(x,w) = Pr(x)Pr(w), then:
\begin{align}
Pr(w,x,y,z) &= Pr(w)...
1. Use the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of G to prove:

1. Compute all the values of e^ {\pi i} , indicating clearly whether there is just one or many of them.
Trivially, exp(pi * i) = -1. However, we can also consider e to be the complex number z, and pi * i to be the complex number alpha. Then we get:
e^{\pi i} = z^{\alpha} = e^{\alpha...

The potential difference V = 100 V is applied to the capacitor arrangement shown in the figure. Here C1 = 10 microF, C2 = 5 microF, and C3 = 4microF. If capacitor C3 undergoes electrical breakdown (i.e. becomes...
I guess 0 m/s would be the minimum. But if you count -40.32 m/s, couldn't you say it is also the minimum (it's the smallest number). However, speed is technically always positive...but then why does it say "speeds"?

I'm guessing these speeds are found by the...
Using the Taylor series of e^x,
e^{-(2\pi b)/(m\omega_0)} = 1 + -\frac{2\pi b}{m\omega_0}
Can you explain why I would drop the rest of the terms?
So
\frac{\Delta E}{E} = -\frac{2\pi b}{m\omega_0}
first of all, is this right?
second, how do i account for the negative sign?

Show that the fractional energy lost per period is
\frac{\Delta E}{E} = \frac{2\pi b}{m\omega_0} = \frac{2\pi}{Q}
where \omega_0 = \srqt{k/m} and Q = m\omega_0 / b
