Hi. I wanted to know how to prove this:
From the fact that the sum of two continuous functions is continuous, prove by induction that the sum of n continuous functions is continuous. I need to prove this by induction.
Thanks!

(1) Research online an alternative form of measuring angles (for example: radian or turn) and compare it with the degree measure. In your description include, if possible, its origin, applications, benefits or drawbacks.
(2) Provide an example of unit circle trigonometry being applied in real life.

Napoleon is contemplating four institutions of higher learning as options for a Master’s in Business Administration. Each university has strong and weak points and the demand for MBA graduates is uncertain. The availability of jobs, student loans, and financial support will have a significant impact on Napoleon’s ultimate decision. Vanderbilt and Seattle University have comparatively high tuition, which would necessitate Napoleon take out student loans resulting in possibly substantial student loan debt. In a tight market, degrees with that cachet might spell the difference between a hefty paycheck and a piddling unemployment check. Northeastern State University and Texas Tech University hold the advantage of comparatively low tuition but a more regional appeal in a tight job market. Napoleon gathers his advisory council of Jim and Pedro to assist with the decision. Together they forecast three possible scenarios for the job market and institutional success and predict annual cash flows associated with an MBA from each institution. All cash flows in the table are in thousands of dollars.

Check if each of the following ODEs is an exact. If it is not an exact find an integrating factor to make it an exact. Then solve each of the following ODEs.
(e) dx + (x/y−siny)dy = 0
(f) ydx + (2x−yey)dy = 0
(g) (3x2y + 2xy + y3)dx + (x2 +

The Eiffel Tower is 325 metres tall. Assuming the earth is perfectly spherical, how far can a person with perfect eye-sight can see from the top of the Eiffel Tower? Again, a good sketch would come in very handy for this problem. Since the precise definition of the word ”far” is somewhat unclear, an approximate answer should suffice. If you make any assumption, then explain why they are reasonable assumption.

Tom has taken out a loan for college. He started paying off the loan with a first payment of $200. Each month he pays, he wants to pay back 1.2 times as the amount he paid the month before. Explain to Tom how to represent his first 30 payments in sigma notation. Then explain how to find the sum of his first 30 payments, using complete sentences. Explain why this series is convergent or divergent.

Problem 3. An isometry between inner-product spaces V and W is a
linear
operator L in B (V ,W) that preserves norms and inner-products. If
x, y in V
and if L is an isometry, then we have <L(x),L(y)>_W = <x,
y>_V .
Suppose that V and W are both real, n-dimensional inner-product
spaces.
Thus the scalar field for both is R and both of them have a basis
consisting of
n elements. Show that V and W are isometric by demonstrating an
isometry
between them.
Hint: take both bases, and cite some linear algebra result that
says that
you can orthonormalize them. Prove (or cite someone to convince me)
that you
can define a linear function by specifying its action on a basis.
Finally, define
your isometry by deciding what it should do on an orthonormal basis
for V , and
prove that it preserves inner-products (and thus norms).

Problem 1. Show that the cross product defined on R^3 by [x1 x2
x3] X [y1 y2 y3]
= [(x2y3 − x3y2), (x3y1 − x1y3), (x1y2 − x2y1)] makes R^3 into an
algebra.
We already know that R^3 forms a vector space, so all that needs to
be shown is that
the X operator is bilinear.
Afterwards, show that the cross product is neither commutative nor
associative.
A counterexample suffices here. If you want, you can write a
program that
checks the commutative and associative laws for x, y, z in R^3, and
then simply
generate random integer vectors x, y, z in Z^3 a subset of R^3
until those laws fail.

5. The cost of heart procedures for a county-run hospital is $125,000, with a fixed cost of $50,000 and a variable cost of $75,000. The hospital completed 250 procedures last year. [A] Assuming no changes in the number of procedures the hospital will perform next year, calculate the cost of surgery for next year, if (a) a 2% increase in variable and 1.5% increase in fixed costs, and (b) it wants to maintain 3.5% safety margin. [B] What would be the cost if the number of procedures (1) will increase by 2%, and (2) will decrease by 4%, with and without safety margin, assuming no changes in cost conditions next year?
