$k\cdot A = −kA$,

Problem 52: On $M_2(\R)$, define the operations of addition and multiplication by a real number $\oplus$ and $\cdot$ , respectively as follows:
$A \oplus B = −(A + B)$,
$k\cdot A = −kA$,
where the operations on the right-hand sides of these equations are the usual ones associated with $M_2(\R)$. Determine which of the axioms for a vector space are satisfied by $M_2(\R)$ with the operations $\oplus$ and $\cdot$.

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\oplus B = −(A + B) \in M_2(\R) \end{align*} A1 holds.

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

Prove A3:
Let $A,B \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} A\oplus B = -(A+B)\\ = -(B+A)\\ = B\oplus A \end{align*} A3 holds.

Prove A4:
Let $A,B,C \in M_2(\R)$
\begin{align*} (A\oplus B)\oplus C = -((A\oplus B)+C) = -((-(A+B)+C) = -(-A-B+C) = A+B-C A\oplus (B\oplus C) = -(A+(B\oplus C)) = -(A+(-(B+C))) = -(A-B-C) = -A+B+C \end{align*} $\therefore (A\oplus B)\oplus C \ne A\oplus (B\oplus C)$
A4 not holds

Prove A5:
An element $B$ is needed such that $A \oplus B = A$ for all $A\in M_2(\R$),
but $−(A + B) = A \Rightarrow B = −2A$.
Since this depends on $A$, there is no zero vector.
A5 not holds

Prove A6:
since there is no zero vectro, we cannot define the additive inverse.
A6 not holds.

Prove A7:
Let $A \in M_2(\R)$ and $r,s \in \R$
\begin{align*} (rs)\cdot A = −(rs)A\\ s\cdot (t \cdot A) = s\cdot (-tA) = -s((-tA)) = (st)A\\ \end{align*} so it follows that $(rs)\cdot A \ne s\cdot (t \cdot A)$
A7 not holds.

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

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

Prove A10:
Let $A\in M_2(\R)$ and $1 \in \R$
\begin{align*} 1\cdot A =-1A = -A \ne A \end{align*} A10 not 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. 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 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.

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 $\R^3$.
