Answer:

Logarithms are used to model all sorts of things, especially growth and decay!

Step-by-step explanation:

One super-relevant example of how logs are used is in tracking the progress of the coronavirus. There are graphs up on worldometer that show both the linear number of cases and deaths and the log numbers - why? Because this gives us a better idea of when the curve will really flatten, or when it will reach its carrying capacity.

It's also used in things like radioactive decay, or where the growth rate is not constant.

All vectors are in Rn. Check the true statements below:

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A), B) and D) are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can prove it as follows:

$Proy_{cv}y=\frac{(y\cdot cv)}{||cv||^2}cv=\frac{c(y\cdot v)}{c^2||v||^2}cv=\frac{(y\cdot v)}{||v||^2}v=Proy_{v}y$

B) When you compute the product Ax, the i-th component is the matrix of the i-th column of A with x, denote this by Ai x. Then, we have that $||Ax||=\sqrt{(A_1 x)^2+\cdots (A_n x)^2}$ . Now, the colums of A are orthonormal so we have that (Ai x)^2=x_i^2. Then $||Ax||=\sqrt{(x_1)^2+\cdots (x_n)^2}=||x||$ .

C) Consider $S=\{(0,2),(2,0)\}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ . This set is orthogonal because $(0,2)\cdot(2,0)=0(2)+2(0)=0$ , but S is not orthonormal because the norm of (0,2) is 2≠1.

D) Let A be an orthogonal matrix in $\mathbb{R}^n$ . Then the columns of A form an orthonormal set. We have that $A^{-1}=A^t$ . To see this, note than the component $b_{ij}$ of the product $A^t A$ is the dot product of the i-th row of $A^t$ and the jth row of $A$ . But the i-th row of $A^t$ is equal to the i-th column of $A$ . If i≠j, this product is equal to 0 (orthogonality) and if i=j this product is equal to 1 (the columns are unit vectors), then $A^t A=I$

E) Consider S={e_1,0}. S is orthogonal but is not linearly independent, because 0∈S.

In fact, every orthogonal set in R^n without zero vectors is linearly independent. Take a orthogonal set $\{u_1,u_2\cdots u_p\}$ and suppose that there are coefficients a_i such that $a_1u_1+a_2u_2\cdots a_nu_n=0$ . For any i, take the dot product with u_i in both sides of the equation. All product are zero except u_i·u_i=||u_i||. Then $a_i||u_i||=0$ then $a_i=0$ .
