    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    Thank you. Question has been solved =] You were a great help. Edit: Crap, it won't let me edit the title or first post to say that it's been solved. :(

    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    Darn.. I feel sooo lost but I'm starting to have an idea of what is happening I'll start here again: (cos kx2, kx1*(kx2)3) is the end point, because from here I cannot isolate k to prove the definition of linearity. So to show a counter example, can I just substitute in any number other than 1...

    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    I see. So a few notes to keep in mind: Domain -> Columns of original function Codomain -> Columns of mapped (if I'm even using the right terminology) So would ii be: g(x1, x2) = (cos x2, x1x23) Domain: R2 Codomain: R2 And g(k(x1, x2)) = g(kx1, kx2) = (cos kx2, kx1x23) (Am I supposed...

    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    Ah thank you. I'm still reaally confused and it's making me so frustrated. I've been working at the same question for 5 hours.. but at least I can give you guys a better picture of where I'm at now. So you're saying that I should be able to show f(kx) = kf(x), if it is linear. I've learned...

    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    Crap, I'm really sorry, I completely messed up part ii. ii was supposed to say g(x1, x2) = (cos x2, x1x2^3) It's hard to see, but what the right side says is cosine of xsubscript2, xsubscript1xsubscript 2, to the exponent 3. Thanks for your example! Based on that, I'm guessing that I can do...

    Mappings, domains, codomains, proof of linearity

    Homework Statement For the following mappings, state the domain and the codomain. Determine whether the mapping is linear by using the definition of linearity: either prove it is linear or give a counterexample to show why it cannot be linear. i.) f(x1,x2,x3)=(2x2, x1−x3) ii.) g(x1, x2) =...

    Newton's Laws magnitude of the force

    Sorry for double posting - for some reason my browser isn't letting me click edit on my last post :( When finding the direction of the force applied, could I use sine law? Ex: 6.77N is the magnitude of the change of momentum, thus it would represent the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle...

    Newton's Laws magnitude of the force

    22.4 N would be the magnitude of the change of momentum, if I were to divide this by time I would get 22.4 / 3.31s = 6.77 N Oh, right! That makes perfect sense all the sudden, a bit more reading had me discover that momentum is in Newton seconds, so if I divided by time, seconds would...

    Newton's Laws magnitude of the force

    Ah, momentum, brings back memories. So then: Px(initial) = mass of object * initial velocity = 1.2kg(14.4m/s) = 17.28 Px(final) = mass of object * x component final velocity = 1.2kg(23.88m/s) = 28.656 Py(final) = mass of object...

    Newton's Laws magnitude of the force

    First post =] Requesting guidance with this particular problem: Homework Statement A 1.20 kg object is moving in the x direction at 14.4 m/s. Just 3.31 s later, it is moving at 28.8 m/s at 34.0 degrees to the x axis. a.) What is the magnitude of the force applied during this time...
