Every element in R/Q has order 1 or ∞
Ugh. Thank you so much. I'll definitely refine it a little when I put it on paper. As I was writing this question, I swear I had no idea where to go next. So I didn't mean to sort of waste your time by asking it only to answer it in the next paragraph. I'm used to the idea of sets of sets, but I...- Jaeran

Every element in R/Q has order 1 or ∞
Homework Statement Let R and Q be the groups of real and rational numbers under addition, and R/Q be a quotient group (or factor group). Part a) If a + Q = b + Q for a,b ∈ R, what can you deduce about a and b? Part b) Prove that every element in R/Q has order 1 or ∞. Homework...- Jaeran

What Are Some Typical Logic Problems Faced by Beginners?
The main reason it's so long is that I was giving a little exposition to go with it. I'm sure you can write out the truth table combinations in your sleep, and then I quickly noticed inconsistencies, like the fact that it's impossible for Vlad or Jeremy to always tell the truth (because of their...- Jaeran

What is the Limit of Derivative as x Approaches Infinity?
I'm a little confused. Shouldn't it start with: f'(a) = lim_{x \rightarrow a} \frac{f(x) - f(a)}{x - a} It looks like you're confusing the x in f'(x) with a separate variable you've also called x in the definition of the derivative. Which means the question is asking you to prove: lim_{a...- Jaeran

What Are Some Typical Logic Problems Faced by Beginners?
The ones where you fill in the missing numbers are stupid. It all depends on your ability to luckily spot the pattern. *I agree with your answers for #3, #5-7, and #10. For #10 her balance changes as follows: -50 (buys the coat), +200 (cash for voucher), -100 (hands the guy change), -200...- Jaeran
