Peyton Smith enjoys listening to all types of music and owns countless CDs. Over the years, Peyton has gained a local reputation for knowledge of music from classical to rap and the ability to put together sets of recordings that appeal to all ages. During the last several months, Peyton served as...
The Concepts in Practice feature in Section 1.3 discusses the importance of data for decision-making. List at least three of the ways the article suggests managers can use financial statements.
The following selected data were taken from the financial statements of Preslar Inc. for December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010: The 2012 net income was $435,750, and the 2011 net income was $453,750. No dividends on common stock were declared between 2010 and 2012.a. Determine the rate earned on total...
Direct Labor Variances The following data relate to labor cost for production of 4,900 cellular telephones: 3,290 hrs. at $14.20 3,240 hrs. at $14.40 a. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a...
This diagram shows an example of memory configuration under dynamic partitioning, after a number of placement and swapping-out operations have been carried out. Addresses go from left to right; gray areas indicate blocks occupied by processes; white areas indicate free memory blocks. The last...
If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.280 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 kg/m³ , and ignore the effects of gravity. Express your answer numerically in coulombs....
Exercise 3. Given a group G and a subset SCG, consider the collection H of all subgroups
containing the set S, namely
H:= {H ≤G: SCH}.
(a) Prove that the intersection
HEH H is also a member of H.
Since this intersection is included in any other subgroup in H, it is the smallest subgroup in the
collection. It is denoted by (S) and called the subgroup generated by S.2
(b) Given g, h = G, we define their commutator to be [g, h] := ghg-¹h-¹ (note that two elements g
and h commute, namely gh = hg, precisely when [g, h] = e). Let S be the subset consisting of all
commutators [g, h]; in this case, the generated subgroup (S) is denoted by [G, G]. Show that [G, G]
is a normal subgroup.
¹Note that, given a collection of sets, even when the collection is finite, in general the smallest subset does not
need to exist in the collection; for instance, take the collection consisting of the two sets {1} and {2}.
2Actually, it can be described explicitly as
(S) := {s¹ s²...sm | m € N, $₁,..., Sm € S, k₁,..., km € Z},
the set of all possible products of powers of elements from S. (If S = 0, then (S) = {e} is the trivial subgroup.)

(c) Show that the quotient G/[G, G] is abelian (it is called the abelianization of G).
(d) Given a homomorphism : G→ Z, prove that it induces a homomorphism : G/[G, G] → Z
(in the sense that y=pon, where is the projection from G to the quotient).
Hint: commutators in Z are trivial.
