You are multiplying 2 to each term each time.

-40 is the 4th term

-40 x 2 = -80

-80 x 2 = - 160

-160 x 2 = -320

-320 x 2 = -640

-640 x 2 = -1280

-1280 x 2 = -2560

-2560 x 2 = -5120

-5120 is your 11th term.

The common ratio is 2 because every term is being multiplied by 2

And the 11th term is -5120.

Show that a discrete metric on a vector space X≠{0} cannot be obtained from a norm (the pair (X,d) is called the discrete metric

topjm [15]

You know that the discrete metric only takes values of 1 and 0. Now suppose it comes from some norm ||.||. Then for any α in the underlying field of your vector space and x,y∈X, you must have that

∥α(x−y)∥=|α|∥x−y∥.

But now ||x−y|| is a fixed number and I can make α arbitrarily large and consequently the discrete metric does not come from any norm on X.

How would I start to solve number 15? Would I use distributive property?

natita [175]

$-5-x=2x-(4x+6)$

Using the distributive property is the correct first step. $(4x+6)$ is being multiplied by -1, so distributing gives

$-5-x=2x+(-4x-6)$
$-5-x=2x+((-4x)+(-6))$

Now, using the associative property of addition, you get

$-5-x=(2x+(-4x))+(-6)$
$-5-x=(2x-4x)-6$

Simplify the right hand side:

$-5-x=-2x-6$

Add 5 and $2x$ to both sides.

$(2x+5)-5-x=(2x+5)-2x-6$

On the left side, use the associative property. On the right, commutativity and associativity:

$2x+(5-5)-x=5+(2x-2x)-6$

Simplify.

$2x-x=-1$
$x=-1$

What should be your first step when subtracting integers?

iris [78.8K]

Your first step when subtracting integers is (d) subtract the numbers

<h3>How to determine the first step?</h3>

The operation is given as:

Subtraction operation

Assume that the operation is a simple expression that involves subtraction, such as:

a - b

The first step is to subtract the numbers

Hence, your first step when subtracting integers is (d) subtract the numbers
