what homework?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, my net is a bit slow. Here is it: For every \[U \in \mathbb{R}\] U0=0U=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what the teacher wrote on the board. I really don't understand. At all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the symbols mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The topic is Direct proof and it's pure mathematics Unit 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Apparently U is an element of R (real number). That's all I know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R means 'real number'. The E-like thing means 'is an element of the set'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So far, so good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U is a set of all possible values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think what your teacher is getting at is anything multiplied by 0 = 0? I'm not sure though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes two of us :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What grade are you in? This isn't university level stuff, is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's Grade 12 (6th form). It's kind of similar to first year at a university though. Have you heard of CAPE exams? It's unit 1 Pure Mathematics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you can always ask your teacher tomorrow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I will.
