If $f(xy)=f(x)f(y)$ then show that $f(x) = x^t$ for some t Let  $f(xy) =f(x)f(y)$ for all $x,y\geq 0$. Show that $f(x) = x^p$ for some $p$.    I am not very experienced with proof. If we let $g(x)=\log (f(x))$ then this is the same as  $g(xy) = g(x) + g(y)$   I looked up the hint and it says let $g(x) = \log f(a^x) $   The wikipedia page for functional equations only states the form of the solutions without proof.  Attempt  Using the hint (which was like pulling a rabbit out of the hat)  Restricting the codomain $f:(0,+\infty)\rightarrow (0,+\infty)$ so that we can define the real function $g(x) =  \log f(a^x)$ and we have $$g(x+y) = g(x)+ g(y)$$   i.e $g(x) = xg(1)$ as $g(x)$ is continuous (assuming $f$ is).  Letting $\log_a f(a) = p$ we get $f(a^x) =a^p $. I do not have a rigorous argument but I think I can conclude that $f(x) = x^p$ (please fill any holes or unspecified assumptions) Different solutions are invited I know how to compute modular multiplicative inverses for co-prime variables $a$ and $b$, but is there an efficient method for computing variable $x$ where $x &lt; b$ and $a$ and $b$ are not co-prime, given variables $a$, $b$ and $c$, as described by the equation below?   $ a x \equiv c \mod b $   For example, given  $ 154x \equiv 14 \mod 182 $, is there an efficient method for computing all the possibilities of $x$, without pure bruteforce?  Please note that I'm not necessarily asking for a direct solution, just a more optimized one.    I do not believe that the Extended Euclidean Algorithm will work here, because $a$ and $b$ are not co-prime.   Edit:  Follow up question, since the first one had a shortcut:  Could the be computed efficiently as well?  $12260x \equiv 24560 \mod 24755$.  $107$ needs to be one of the computed answers. Can I hire my kid and start a Roth IRA for him? I own an LLC, of which I am currently the sole member. It's my main source of income.  I am wondering if there is a reason why I could not do the following:   Hire my child as a part-time employee of the LLC, for an annual salary of $5500. Start a Roth IRA for the kid and put the $5500 into it. Deduct the $5500 as a payroll expense for my LLC, thereby reducing my amount of taxable income.   To me, this seems attractive because I'd lower my LLC's tax liability. Meanwhile, my kid would not have to pay any taxes on the $5500 because it is lower than the standard deduction. And by putting the money in a Roth IRA, he'd get an investment that would grow tax-free. It would essentially be like getting the pre-tax benefits of a traditional IRA with the post-tax benefits of a Roth.  The way I see it, I'd win, my kid would win and the IRS would lose, for once.  Is there any reason this wouldn't work? There is no minimum age or income for contributing to a Roth IRA. So as long as I could legally hire my kid, I don't see any obstacles.

The div containing tags for a question doesn't reflow, causing layout issues for questions with long/many tags This appears to be a css bug which (I think) has recently been introduced. It's most visible when viewing questions on Stack Exchange sites using mobile devices (the full site with responsiveness, not the mobile site) but can easily be reproduced by resizing a browser window on a question where the combined width of the tags is large. A couple of example questions show this behaviour:  On Meta Stack Overflow:   On Meta Stack Exchange:     Using the Meta Stack Overflow question to demonstrate (as the total width of the tags is larger):  At 1100px, the tags just about fit into their containing div.     At 800px, the tags appear on top of related questions:     At 450px, the tags are now wider than the view (the last tag is completely off the screen), causing scroll bars to appear:      This doesn't happen to lists of questions - the tags flow onto multiple lines:     Reproduced on: { Firefox 81, Chrome 84, Edge 84 } on Windows 10, and Chrome 85 on Android 11.

What are the correct settings for min-memory and max-memory in this use case?  The server has 8GB ram, dual Intel Xeon processors, running Windows Server 2008 R2 / Sql Server 2008 Standard Edition. It's running several databases ranging from 30GB - 5GB in size.  Originally the memory usage was set to the default settings (min=0 max=2,147,483,647). On these settings most of the memory usage was taken up by sqlservr.exe and the server would eventually need to be restarted every day or two. It would run normally at first but within a day start to timeout on simple operations like looking up a record using the primary key.   I have changed min=4,096 and max=6,144. This results in only 1.4GB memory usage. However now all four cpus are running at 50-60% cpu usage constantly. Tasks are taking roughly 1/3rd longer to execute, although the server is much more stable. Prove that, $f'(0) \ge -\sqrt{2}$ for a function $f$ satisfying some conditions on $(-1,1)$. Let $f:(-1,1)\to \mathbb{R}$ be a twice differentiable function such that, $f(0)=1$, $f'(x)≤0$, $f(x)≥0$ and $f''(x)≤f(x)$ for all $x≥0$. Prove that, $f'(0)≥-\sqrt2$   Progress: I was able to prove $f'(0)≥-2$. For this I have applied Cauchy MVT for $f'$ and $g$ on $[0,x]$ for any $x\in (0,1)$ where $g: [0,x]\to\mathbb{R}$ is defined by, $g(x)=\sqrt{x+1}$. But, couldn't find another approach to get $-\sqrt{2}$. If directory is empty do this, If directory is not empty do that Geometric proof that a Pythagorean triple has a number divisible by $3$? Can I infer from “If $a,b \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $(a,3)=(b,3)=1$ then $a^2+b^2\neq c^2$ for any $c\in\mathbb{N}$” that any pythagorean triple has a number which is divisible by $3$? If so, how can this relationship be proved geometrically?

I'm not sure exactly with what I've bumped my wall and caused this this:    Is there anything that can be done to fix this without repainting the entire room?  I've been reading around a bit, and not sure exactly what to call this, hence the weird question title.  The paint is a beige-ish colour, not exactly white. The hole is about 2 x 1.5 cm in size.   I've read a bit about spackling paste, though I understand that's for small cracks and holes.  Here are some picture with a better resolution:  and   Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this sort of thing. Help please.

Quotient of the ring of integers of a number field by a prime ideal Can you combine multiple lists with LINQ? Say I have two lists:  var list1 = new int[] {1, 2, 3}; var list2 = new string[] {"a", "b", "c"};   Is it possible to write a LINQ statement that will generate the following list:  var result = new []{      new {i = 1, s = "a"},     new {i = 1, s = "b"},     new {i = 1, s = "c"},     new {i = 2, s = "a"},     new {i = 2, s = "b"},     new {i = 2, s = "c"},     new {i = 3, s = "a"},     new {i = 3, s = "b"},     new {i = 3, s = "c"} };   ?  Edit: I forgot to mention I didn't want it in query syntax. Anyway, based on preetsangha's answer I've got the following:  var result = list1.SelectMany(i =&gt;  list2.Select(s =&gt; new {i = i, s = s})); Contacting prospective advisors before graduate school applications - courtesy or annoyance? Last year, rather late during the MSc application cycle (after one round of funding was allocated - tardiness due to an abrupt change in my life situation), I emailed two professors from two schools that I most wanted to go to. I had perused their webpages and decided these professors had the specific research interests closest to my own.  My reason for contacting them before finishing my applications for their respective schools was that the applications included a large section for specific research questions that I wanted to investigate. So, I emailed these professors asking a bit about their work, because their webpages of course featured surface-level stuff.  One professor was very receptive and invited me to Skype with her so she could better explain herself and I could ask her questions. With her support, I was able to write an application that met her standards quite quickly.  The other professor told me - paraphrasing, of course - that he was too far into the process of choosing a new student for his research group to spend time helping me finish the application.  Let me be clear that the latter professor didn't say any harsh words and I have nothing bad to say about him. That said, the purpose of my question is to decide whether it's better for me as a prospective MSc student to email professors ahead of time like this. Was the latter's rejection likely due to my tardiness rather my emailing him? The more receptive professor made the point that she always wanted to have prospective MSc students write their own research proposals and get her approval before submitting the application. Is this common? If so, then I guess reaching out beforehand is a good thing to do, but earlier in the application cycle?  Thank you.
