Could you explain me: what the difference is between singular value decomposition and eigenvalue problem, when square matrices are involved. Thanks

When I'm evaluating a problem like $$ \int \frac{2x^2 + 8x + 9}{(x^2 + 2x + 5)(x + 2)} = \frac{Ax + B}{x^2 + 2x + 5} + \frac{C}{x+2}$$ I understand how to get the C part, that's simple. But what is a Good trick to know that I need to have $$Ax + B$$ over the $$x^2 + 2x + 5$$ denominator? Is...

Just came across LU decomposition and I am not sure how to work on this problem: Let L and L1 be invertible lower triangular matrices, and let U and U1 be invertible upper triangular matrices. Show that LU=L1U1 if and only if there exists an invertible diagonal matrix D such that L1=LD and...

Let T be a compact operator on an infinite dimensional hilbert space H. I am proving the theorem which says that $Tx=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\lambda}_{n}\langle x,x_{n}\rangle y_{n}$ where ($x_{n}$) is an orthonormal sequence consisting of the eigenvectors of $|T|=(T^*T)^{0.5}$, (${\lambda}_{n}$)...

Homework Statement Derive x/(1-x) Homework Equations By substitution: u = (1-x) du = -dx ∫x/(1-x)dx = -∫(1-u)/u du = ∫1-(1/u)du = u-log(u)+c = (1-x) - log(1-x) + c By decomposition: x/(1-x) = 1/(1-x)-1 ∫1/(1-x)-1dx = -log(1-x)-x+c The Attempt at a Solution Which solutions...

Homework Statement ∫(2x3-4x-8)/(x2-x)(x2+4) dx Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution ∫(2x3-4x-8)/x(x-1)(x2+4) dx Next I left off the integral sign so I could do the partial fractions: 2x3-4x-8=(A/x)+(B/(x-1))+((Cx+D)/(x2+4))...

Ok I'm stuck I have $$\int \frac{x^2 - 5x + 16}{(2x + 1)(x - 2)^2} \, dx$$ and I got to this part: $$x^2 - 5x + 16 = A(x - 2)^2 + B(x - 2)(x + \frac{1}{2}) + c(x + \frac{1}{2})$$So do i need to distribute all of these and factor out or is there a simpler way? I found a solution where they are...

Quick question... I know that if the numerator is greater than the denominator I need to divide out by long division BUT If the numerator is equal to the denominator (the exponent is what I'm talking about to be specific) then, do I need to do anything? Because I'm stuck on this problem $$\int...

Homework Statement (t4+9)/(t4+9t2) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm not completely sure if I'm using the correct method to solve this. Since the degrees of the numerator and denominator are the same, wouldn't you divide the denominator into the numerator? Here is...

Hello, here goes the problem: The mass of calcium carbonate upon thermal decomposition decreased by 1/5. (a) How many molecules of CaCO3 per 100 molecules were decomposed to CaO and CO2. (b) The content of CaO in the final sample express in molar fraction. My solution: I set the starting...

In general, we heat CaCO3 to temperature of approximately 825°C it decomposes into calcium oxide and liberates carbon dioxide gas: CaCO3 →825°C→ CaO + CO2 Is it possible to heat the calcium carbonate at temperatures below 825 degrees Celsius, so the decomposition into calcium oxide.

Q3.) Express as partial fractions. a) $$\frac{3x+4}{x^2+3x+2}$$ b) $$\frac{5x^2+5x+8}{(x+2)\left(x^2+2 \right)}$$ c) $$\frac{x^2+15x+21}{(x+2)^2(x-3)}$$

Hi, I was wondering when you need to write the decomposition of a substance, how do you know if the number is going to be a coefficient or subscript ? Example: 2H2O ===>2H2 + 02 would be the answer But why not 2H2O ==> 2H2 + 2O Knowing that we have 2 moles of O in the beginning...

Here is the question: I have posted a link there so the OP can view my work.

I have came up with a theory, it could be completely wrong or not but i had the idea of ferromagnetic decomposition and what i mean by this is breaking a ferromagnetic object apart (such as iron) using magnetism. Is this possible or not?

Given a matrix $$A$$. Is it possible to have a Jordan block form like: $$\begin{pmatrix} \lambda & 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & \lambda & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \lambda & 1\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \lambda\\ \end{pmatrix}$$ ?

I would like to learn bit more about matrices and their decomposition. Let ##\mathbf C## be symmetric real-valued square matrix. Let ##\mathbf R## be such that $$ \mathbf R\mathbf R^T = \mathbf C. $$ Is the matrix ##\mathbf R## necessarily lower triangular (I suspect not)? Cholesky...

Do these terms practically refer to the same thing? Like a matrix is diagonalizable iff it can be expressed in the form A=PDP^{-1}, where A is n×n matrix, P is an invertible n×n matrix, and D is a diagonal matrix Now, this relationship between the eigenvalues/eigenvectors is sometimes...

Hey guys, I have a problem where I am supposed to prove that R is nonsingular iff A is of full column rank in a QR decomposition. I feel like I fully understand the two major processes for obtaining a QR decomposition (Gram-Schimdt and Householder Transformations), however, I am not entirely...

if there is something like (x^2+3x+6) in the denominator for one of the terms in a partial fraction problem, why do we put Ax+B instead of just A? and if the denominator is (x^2+3x+6)^2, why do we do {(Ax+B)/(x^2+3x+6)}+{(Cx+D)/(x^2+3x+6)^2}? i was always just told to memorize it, but why do we...

A basis for any 3-dimensional vector space must have 3 vectors in it. So the acceleration of any object in ℝ^{3} can be decomposed into the standard basis vectors for ℝ^{3}. However, I have seen another decomposition, namely, into the tangential and normal (centripetal) acceleration vectors...

This is purely conceptual and I'm just looking for opinions on whether its misguided or, indeed, plausible. From what I understand about Fourier decomposition we can break down an analog signal into component sinusoidal waves. My thinking is that the sound system at a nightclub can be...
