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.

Meredith has 8 pages of homework to do. If she can finish of a page in one hour, how
Damm [24]

Answer: 8 Hours to finish her homework.

Step-by-step explanation: We know each page, or 1 page takes 1 hour to finish. We want to know how many hours it would take to take finish 8 pages of homework. To find this, simply multiply 1 by 8. (1 hour per page, or 1 hour for each of the 8 pages.)

1 x 8 = 8.

So it will take Meredith 8 hours to finish her homework.

The surface area, S, of a right rectangular prism with length, l, width, w, and height, h can be found using the formula below.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

246 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 8 in

Width= 3 in

Height= 9 in

SA= 2( lw + wh + hl)

substitute

SA= 2(8*3+ 3*9+ 9*8)

SA= 2(24+ 27+72)

SA= 2(123)

SA= 246 in^2

Hence the SA is 246 in^2

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x-7 and passes through the point (6, 5)
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a equation of a line

we want to figure out the equation of the perpendicular line passes through the <u>(</u><u>6</u><u>,</u><u>5</u><u>)</u><u> </u>points

in order to do so

recall that,

\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} =   - \frac{1}{m}

we got from our given equation that m=2

because equation of a line is y=mx+b

thus

\displaystyle m_{ \text{perpendicular}} =   - \frac{1}{2}

remember that, when we want to figure out perpendicular line or parallel line we should the formula given by

\displaystyle y -  y_{1} = m(x -  x_{1})

since we got our perpendicular m is -½, x_1=6 and y_1=5, substitute

\displaystyle y -  5 =   - \frac{1}{2} (x -  6)

to get the perpendicular equation you should simplify the above equation to y=mx+b form

distribute -½:

\displaystyle y -  5 =   - \frac{1}{2} x  + 3

add 5 to both sides:

\displaystyle y  =   - \frac{1}{2} x  + 8

hence,

our answer choice is B
