ok this is my overleaf homework page but did not do (c) and (d)
this class is over but trying to do some stuff I missed.
I am only auditing so I may sit in again next year...;)
also if you see typos much grateful

I don't see a lot of replies on these DE questions so maybe there isn't an army of eager help?

Look at what linear transformation $T\begin{bmatrix}x \\ y \\ z\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}x- y \\ y- z\\ 2x+ 3y- 3z\end{bmatrix}$ does to each basis vector in $\alpha$:
$T\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}1- 0 \\ 0- 0\\ 2+ 0- 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0\\ 2\end{bmatrix}$.
$T\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ 1 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0- 1 \\ 1- 0\\ 0+ 3- 0\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}-1 \\ 1\\ 3\end{bmatrix}$.

$T\begin{bmatrix}0 \\ 0 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0- 0 \\ 0- 1\\ 0+ 0- 3\end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -1\\ -3\end{bmatrix}$.

Those vectors will be the columns of the matrix representing T in this basis.
 
So $[T]_\beta^\beta$ would be the product of
$$\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0\\ 2\end{bmatrix}
\cdot \begin{bmatrix}-1 \\ 1\\ 3\end{bmatrix}
\cdot \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -1\\ -3\end{bmatrix}$$
?
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
