This is the first 'problem' in my Linear Algebra/Geometry textbook. I just need to know if I am doing it correctly. Any hints? I also need to know if I am using correct notation/presentation.

Question: \mathbb R^+ \leftrightarrow \mathbb Q?

What I've done:

Suppose: (ε_1,...,ε_n) \in \mathbb R^+ \rightarrow \mathbb K and
(c_1,...,c_n) \in \mathbb Q \rightarrow \mathbb K


Assuming: \mathbb R^+ ⊂ \mathbb K and \mathbb Q ⊂ \mathbb K where \mathbb K is a numerical/object field; we can say that


\forall (ε \in \mathbb R^+, c \in \mathbb Q) \in \mathbb K \exists (ε \cap c) \in (\mathbb R^+ \bigcap \mathbb Q) |\mathbb R^+ \leftrightarrow \mathbb Q

I'm not sure I understood what you meant, but you can do this:

i)1 is in ℝ , 1 as the identity, since ℝ is a field.ii) 1+1=2 is in ℝ , by closure of operations

iii) (1+1)(-1)=1/2 is in ℝ , since every element in a field is invertible

iv)... Can you take it from here ( if this is what you meant)
 
I get it, thanks!
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
