Yes. Conceptually, all the matrices in the group have the same structure, except for the variable component 
. So, each matrix is identified by its top-right coefficient, since the other three entries remain constant.
However, let's prove in a more formal way that
![\phi:\ \mathbb{R} \to G,\quad \phi(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cphi%3A%5C%20%5Cmathbb%7BR%7D%20%5Cto%20G%2C%5Cquad%20%5Cphi%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26x%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
is an isomorphism.
First of all, it is injective: suppose 
. Then, you trivially have 
, because they are two different matrices:
![\phi(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x\\0&1\end{array}\right],\quad \phi(y) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&y\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cphi%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26x%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cquad%20%5Cphi%28y%29%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26y%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
Secondly, it is trivially surjective: the matrix
![\phi(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x\\0&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cphi%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26x%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
is clearly the image of the real number x.
Finally, 
and its inverse are both homomorphisms: if we consider the usual product between matrices to be the operation for the group G and the real numbers to be an additive group, we have
![\phi (x+y) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x+y\\0&1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x\\0&1\end{array}\right] \cdot \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&y\\0&1\end{array}\right] = \phi(x) \cdot \phi(y)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cphi%20%28x%2By%29%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26x%2By%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26x%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%26y%5C%5C0%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cphi%28x%29%20%5Ccdot%20%5Cphi%28y%29)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8×4 = (A×7) - (A×3) = A(7-3) = A×4
A = 8
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 = shrink by a factor of 1/2.
+7 = moved up 7 units.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
can be represented as 
and ![\sqrt[3]5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D5%7D)
can be represented as 
. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as:
The rule for multiplying two exponents with the same base is you add the exponents. For example: 
We can use the same property to get:
which is just after you add the fractions
