Problem 51: On $M_2(\R)$, define the operation of addition by $A + B = AB$, and use the usual scalar multiplication operation. Determine which axioms for a vector space are satisfied by$M_2(\R)$ with the above operations

Solution:
The Axioms of a Vector Space
The following properties must hold for all $ u,v,w \in \V$ and $a,b \in \R$:
Closure Properties
$(A1) u+v \in \V$.
$(A2) av \in \V$.
Properties of Addition
$(A3) u+v=v+u$.
$(A4) u+(v+w)=(u+v)+w$.
$(A5)$ There is an element $\mathbf{0} \in \V$ such that $\mathbf{0}+v=v$ for all $v \in \V$.
$(A6)$ Given an element $v \in \V$, there is an element $−v \in \V$ such that $v+(−v)=\mathbf{0}$.
Properties of Scalar Multiplication
$(A7) a(bv)=(ab)v$.
$(A8) a(u+v)=au+av$.
$(A9) (a+b)v=av+bv$.
$(A10) 1v=v$ for all $v \in \V$.

Prove A1:
Let $A,B \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} A+B = AB \in M_2(\R) \end{align*}

Prove A2:
Let $r \in \R$ and $A \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} rA \in M_2(\R) \end{align*}

Prove A3:
Let $A,B \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} A+B = AB \ne BA = B+A \end{align*} A3 not holds.

Prove A4:
Let $A,B,C \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} (A+B)+C = (AB)+C\\ = (AB)C \\ = ABC \\ = A(BC) \\ = A(B+C) \\ = A+(B+C). \end{align*} A4 holds

Prove A5:
Let $A\in M_2(\R)$ and $I \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} A+I = AI\\ = A\\ \end{align*}

Prove A6:
We wish to determine whether for each matrix $A\in M_2(\R)$ we can find a matrix $B\in M_2(\R)$
such that $A+B = I$, remember that we have shown in A5 that the zero vector is $I$,
equivalently, such that $AB = I$.
However, this equation can be satisfied only if $A$ is nonsingular, therefore the axiom fails. A6 not holds.

Prove A7:
Let $A \in M_2(\R)$ and $r,s \in \R$
\begin{align*} (rs)A = r(sA) \end{align*}

Prove A8:
Let $A,B \in M_2(\R)$ and $r \in \R$
\begin{align*} r(A+B) = rAB\\ rA+rB = (rA)(rB) = r^2AB \end{align*} Thus $r(A+B) \ne rA+rB$.
A8 not holds.

Prove A9:
Let $A\in M_2(\R)$ and $r,s \in \R$
\begin{align*} rA+sA = (rA)(sA) = rs(AA) \ne (r+s)A \end{align*} A9 not holds.

Prove A10:
Let $A\in M_2(\R)$ and $1 \in \R$
\begin{align*} 1\cdot A =A \in M_2(\R) \end{align*} A10 holds

Problem 85: A manufacturer of external hard drives claims that only 10% of his drives require repairs within the warranty peroid of 12 months.

Problem 85: A manufacturer of external hard drives claims that only 10% of his drives require repairs within the warranty peroid of 12 months. a. If 5 of 20 of his drives required repairs within the first year, does this tend to support or refuse the claim? b. If 3 of 20 of his drives required repairs within the first year, does this tend to support or refuse the claim? Solution: a. If 5 of 20 of his drives required repairs within the first year Given that $n=20,$ and $p=0.3$ $\sum _{x=5}^{20}b(x;n,p)=\sum _{x=5}^{20}b(x;20,0.1)=1-\sum _{x=0}^{4}b(x;20,0.1)$ $ = 1 - [b(0;20,0.1)+b(1;20,0.1)+b(2;20,0.1)+b(3;20,0.1)+b(4;20,0.1)]$ $b(x;n,p)=\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ x\end{array}\right){p}^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}$ $b(0;20,0.1) = \left(\begin{array}{c}20\\ 0\end{array}\right){0.1}^{0}(1-0.1)^{20-0} = 0.121577$ $b(1;20,0.1) = \left(\begin{array}{c}20\\ 1\end{array}\right){0.1}^{1}(1-0.1)^{20-1} = 0.27017$ $b(2;20,0.1) = \left(\begin{array}{c}20\\ 2\end{array}\right){0.1}^{...

Problem 56: Let $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. Establish that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$.

Problem 56: Let $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. Establish that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$. Solution: $S = \{x \in \R^3 : x = (r-2s,3r+s,s), r,s \in \R \}$. S is certainly nonempty. Let $x, y \in S$. Then for some $r, s, u,v \in \R$, $x = (r-2s,3r+s,s)$ and $y = (u-2v,3u+v,v)$. Hence, $x + y = (r-2s,3r+s,s) + (u-2v,3u+v,v)$ $= (r-2s+u-2v,3r+s+3u+v,s+v) = ((r+u)-2(s+v),3(r+u)+(s+v),(s+v))$ $= (k-2l,3k+l,l)$, where $k = r + u, l=s+v$. Consequently, $S$ is closed under addition. Further, if $c \in \R$, then $cx = c(r-2s,3r+s,s) = (c(r-2s),c(3r+s),cs) $ $= (cr-2cs,3cr+cs,cs) = (a-2b,3a+b,b)$, where $a = cr,b=cs$. Therefore $S$ is also closed under scalar multiplication. It follows that $S$ is a subspace of $\R^3$.

Problem 107: In a given city, 6% of all drivers get at least one parking ticket per year. Use the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probabilities that among 80 drivers randomly chosen in this given city:
a. 4 will get at least one parking ticket in any given year,
b. At least 3 will get at least at least one parking ticket in any given year,
c. Anywhere from 3 to 6, inclusive will get at least one parking ticket in any given year.
