Let g' be the group of real matricies of the form [1 x 0 1]. Is the map that sends x to this matrix an isomorphism?

Yes. Conceptually, all the matrices in the group have the same structure, except for the variable component x. 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]

is an isomorphism.

First of all, it is injective: suppose x \neq y. Then, you trivially have \phi(x) \neq \phi(y), 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]

Secondly, it is trivially surjective: the matrix

\phi(x) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&x\\0&1\end{array}\right]

is clearly the image of the real number x.

Finally, \phi 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)

Factorise 24e^2-28e-12
Helga [31]

Answer:

4(2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24e² - 28e - 12 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(6e² - 7e - 3) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the e² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the e- term.

product = 6 × - 3 = - 18 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 9 and + 2

Use these factors to split the e- term

6e² - 9e + 2e - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3e(2e - 3) + 1 (2e - 3) ← factor out (2e - 3) from each term

= (2e - 3)(3e + 1)

Then

24e² - 28e - 12 = 4(2e - 3)(3e + 1) ← in factored form

There are 30 books on the library shelf, Sam noted that 1/6 of them are non fiction. Dan notes that 3/5 of the books are fiction
ehidna [41]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiction books:  (1/6) of 30 books = 5 books

Non-fiction books:  (3/5) of (30) books = 18 books

The subtotal here is 5 + 18, or 23.  

23 of the books are either fiction or non fiction.

30 - 23, or 7, of the books remain (are neither fiction nor non-fiction).
