Part A:

Given f:Z \rightarrow Z, defined by f(x)=-x

f(x+y)=-(x+y)=-x-y \\  \\ f(x)+f(y)=-x+(-y)=-x-y

but

f(xy)=-xy \\  \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=-x\cdot-y=xy

Since, f(xy) ≠ f(x)f(y)

Therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.



Part B:

Given f:Z_2 \rightarrow Z_2, defined by f(x)=-x

Note that in Z_2, -1 = 1 and f(0) = 0 and f(1) = -1 = 1, so we can also use the formular f(x)=x

f(x+y)=x+y \\  \\ f(x)+f(y)=x+y

and

f(xy)=xy \\  \\ f(x)\cdot f(y)=xy

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.



Part C:

Given g:Q\rightarrow Q, defined by g(x)= \frac{1}{x^2+1}

g(x+y)= \frac{1}{(x+y)^2+1} = \frac{1}{x^2+2xy+y^2+1}  \\  \\ g(x)+g(y)= \frac{1}{x^2+1} + \frac{1}{y^2+1} = \frac{y^2+1+x^2+1}{(x^2+1)(y^2+1)} = \frac{x^2+y^2+2}{x^2y^2+x^2+y^2+1}

Since, f(x+y) ≠ f(x) + f(y), therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.



Part D:

Given h:R\rightarrow M(R), defined by h(a)=  \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)

h(a+b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-(a+b)&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right) \\  \\ h(a)+h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-a-b&0\\a+b&0\end{array}\right)

but

h(ab)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-ab&0\\ab&0\end{array}\right) \\  \\ h(a)\cdot h(b)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}-a&0\\a&0\end{array}\right)\cdot \left(\begin{array}{cc}-b&0\\b&0\end{array}\right)= \left(\begin{array}{cc}ab&0\\-ab&0\end{array}\right)

Since, h(ab) ≠ h(a)h(b), therefore, the funtion is not a homomorphism.



Part E:

Given f:Z_{12}\rightarrow Z_4, defined by \left([x_{12}]\right)=[x_4], where [u_n] denotes the lass of the integer u in Z_n.

Then, for any [a_{12}],[b_{12}]\in Z_{12}, we have

f\left([a_{12}]+[b_{12}]\right)=f\left([a+b]_{12}\right) \\  \\ =[a+b]_4=[a]_4+[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)+f\left([b]_{12}\right)

and

f\left([a_{12}][b_{12}]\right)=f\left([ab]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[ab]_4=[a]_4[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)f\left([b]_{12}\right)

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.

You and your friend each collect rocks and fessis your friend collects three times as many roots and half as many fossils as you
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is <u>1 and  24</u> respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is <u>3 and 12 </u>respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let  the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting  y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils

<u><em>Hope this help you! :)</em></u>

The scientists at ChemEx Research use chemical storage tanks.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

395149.22 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a tank with length (L), width (W) and height (H) is given by

V = LWH ........ (1)

Now, the interior dimensions of a tank are 82.5 inches long, 58.5  inches wide, and 81.875 inches tall.

So, L = 82.5 inches, W = 58.5 inches and H = 81.875 inches.

Therefore, V = (82.5 × 58.5 × 81.875) = 395149.22 cubic inches.

Hence, the approximate volume of the tank is 395149.22 cubic inches. (Answer)
