Let V be the set of positive reals, V = {x ∈ R : x > 0}. Define “addition” on V by x“ + ”y = xy, and for α ∈ R, define “scalar multiplication” on V by “αx” = x^α . Is V a vector space with these unusual operations of addition and scalar multiplication? Prove your answer.

Let f be a function with domain the reals and range the reals. Assume that f has a local minimum at each point x in its domain. (This means that, for each x ∈ R, there is an E = Ex > 0 such that, whenever | x−t |< E then f(x) ≤ f(t).) Do not assume that f is differentiable, or continuous, or anything nice like that. Prove that the image of f is countable. (Hint: When I solved...
