Let v1 = (1,0) v2 = (1,-1) and v3 = (0,1), then how many linear transformations T : R2 → R2 are there such that 
    Correct answer is '3'. Can you explain this answer?

    Veda Institute answered
    Since a linear transformation T : R2 → R2
    defined as 
    ⇒ T is cyclic linear transformation
    where v1 = (1,0) v2 = (1,-1) v3 = (0,1)
    here by {v1,v2,v3} we can get three sets of basis for R2

    if we take {v1,v2} as the basis ad to determine linear transformation.

    Understanding the Events
    When a fair coin is tossed twice, the sample space (all possible outcomes) is:
    - HH (two heads)
    - HT (head and tail)
    - TH (tail and head)
    - TT (two tails)
    Thus, the sample space contains 4 outcomes.
    Defining Events A and B
    - Event A: At least one tail appears. The outcomes that satisfy this are HT, TH, and TT.

    General Solution of the given equation:
    - To find the general solution of the equation y - 2x - y = c, we first need to simplify it.
    - Simplifying the equation gives us: -2x = c
    - Rearranging the equation gives us the general solution: 2x = -c

    Explanation of the correct answer:
    - The correct answer is option 'D', which states that 2x - 2y = c.

    For the infinitely defined discontinuous function
    How many points  such that
    • a)
       f ‘(c) = 1
    • b)
      256
    • c)
      512
    • d)
      16
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Veda Institute answered
    To find points such that f'(c) = 1
    We need to check points on graph where slope remains the same ( 45 degrees)
    In every interval of the form [(n – 1)π, nπ] we must have 2n – 1 points
    Because sine curve there has frequency 2n and the graph is going to meet the graph y = x at 2n points.
    Hence, in the interval [0, 16π] we have
    = 1 + 3 + 5…….(16terms)
    =(16)2 = 256.

    Choose the correct statements.
    • a)
      Every infinite and bounded set must have a limit point
    • b)
      Any finite set cannot have a limit point
    • c)
      Any infinite but unbounded set cannot have a limit point
    • d)
      Every closed and bounded set has a limit point
    Correct answer is option 'A,B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Veda Institute answered
    Bolzano weierstrass theoremstate that, every bounded infinite set ofreal numbers has at least one limit point.
    So (A) is true satetement.
    Also if x be limit point of any set A, then by definition evely neighbourhood of x must contain infinitely many points of A, which is not possible if A is finite. So (B) is true statement.
    (C) is wrong, as i.e. A have limit points. 
    (D) is wrong, as singleton set are always closed and bounded in ℝ. But do not have limit point.

    Ira Malhotra answered  •  May 28, 2024
    Explanation:

    Given linear operator:
    T(x1, x2) = (x1 + x2, x1)

    Finding the inverse of T:
    To find the inverse of T, we need to solve for T-1(x1, x2) such that T(T-1(x1, x2)) = (x1, x2) and T-1(T(x1, x2)) = (x1, x2).

    Solving for T-1(x1, x2):
    Let T-1(x1, x2) = (a, b), then we have:
    T(a, b) = (a + b, a) = (x1, x2)

    Ira Malhotra answered  •  Feb 16, 2024
    Are elements of the group G, we can conclude that there exists an element x in the group G such that ax = b.

    This means that we can "cancel" the element a from both sides of the equation by multiplying both sides by a's inverse, denoted as a^(-1). So, we have:

    a * x = b
    a^(-1) * (a * x) = a^(-1) * b
    (a^(-1) * a) * x = a^(-1) * b
    e * x = a^(-1) * b

    The probability that the target is brought down after each missile is fired is r. The probability that the target is not brought down after each missile is fired is 1-r.

    The probability that the target is brought down after exactly k missiles are fired is (p * r^k) * (1-r)^(k-1), where p is the probability of each missile hitting the target.

    The probability that a radar will detect an object in one cycle is p. The probability that it will be detected in n cycles is

    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Ira Malhotra answered  •  Oct 19, 2023
    Explanation:

    To understand why the correct answer is option B, let's break down the problem step by step.

    Probability of not detecting an object in one cycle:
    The probability of not detecting an object in one cycle is 1-p. This is because the probability of detecting an object in one cycle is p, so the probability of not detecting it is 1-p.

    P
    ... more
    If the probability of not detecting an object in one cycle is 1-p, then the probability of not detecting it in n cycles is (1-p)^n. This is because each cycle is an independent event, and the probability of not detecting the object in each cycle is the same (1-p).

    Probability of detecting an object in n cycles:
    The probability of detecting an object in n cycles is 1 minus the probability of not detecting it in n cycles. So, the probability of detecting an object in n cycles is 1 - (1-p)^n.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 1 - (1-p)^n. This formula gives us the probability of detecting an object in n cycles, taking into account the probability of not detecting it in each cycle.

    Let g be a non abelian group of order 729 then the no. of conjugate class is?

    Ira Malhotra answered  •  Oct 09, 2023
    Explanation:


    To find the number of conjugate classes in a non-abelian group of order 729, we need to understand the concept of conjugacy in group theory.

    Conjugacy in Group Theory:


    In group theory, two elements a and b of a group G are said to be conjugate if there exists an element g in G such that b = gag⁻¹. In other words, two elements are conjugate if they are related by a change of basis.
