Use a normal linear modelThe distance and climb are treated as fixed predictors; the assumptions are a linear conditional mean, independent errors with common variance, and normal errors for the exact tests. Fit by ordinary least squares using

The overall null hypothesis is ${\beta }_1={\beta }_2=0$, against at least one nonzero slope. The intercept-only and full models have respectively 34 and 32 residual degrees of freedom. Under the null, the F-test statistic isThe displayed residual sums are rounded; use the reported statistic for the test. Its upper-tail p-value is below $2.2\times 10^{-16}$, so reject the no-relationship hypothesis overwhelmingly. At least one predictor adds information beyond a constant mean.

In the coefficient table, Estimate gives one of the ordinary least squares estimators, Std. Error is the estimated standard deviation of that estimator, t value is the estimate divided by its standard error, and the last column is the two-sided p-value for a zero coefficient. Under the corresponding null, the statistic has a Student's t-distribution with 32 degrees of freedom. The fitted mean isAt fixed climb, an extra mile predicts about 6.22 extra minutes; at fixed distance, an extra foot of climb predicts about 0.01105 extra minutes. Both slopes have strong evidence of being positive. Specifically the climb test uses $t=5.387$ and $p=6.45\times 10^{-6}$, so climb remains significant after controlling for distance. The intercept differs from zero at the 5% level, but extrapolating to a zero-distance, zero-climb race has no useful physical interpretation.

The regression diagnostics show a very large positive residual for Knock Hill and a smaller positive outlier for Bens of Jura. The Q-Q plot has a pronounced upper tail, contradicting the assumed normal-error pattern. These observations can distort both the fitted coefficients and the estimated error variance. Check the source records, units, transcription and any unusual race conditions first, especially for Knock Hill; correct a demonstrated data error and refit. If the records are valid, consider omitted terrain effects, nonlinear distance/climb effects, a suitable response transformation or robust regression, and compare fits with and without influential observations. A diagnostic outlier alone is not a reason to silently delete a valid record.

Use the square-root encryption convention called the Rabin-Williams scheme in the Cambridge course notes. Choose distinct large primes $p,q\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$, keep them secret, and publish $N=pq$. A message block $m\in \{0,\dots ,N-1\}$ is encrypted asUsually require $\gcd (m,N)=1$; otherwise the message itself reveals a factor. For a quadratic residue $c$ modulo $p$, Euler criterion gives $c^{(p-1)/2}=1$, so $c^{(p+1)/4}$ is a square root. Compute both signs modulo each prime, then combine the four sign choices by the Chinese remainder theorem. For a unit ciphertext there are four roots modulo $N$. Message redundancy identifies the intended root; squaring alone does not identify it uniquely.

To reduce integer factorization to recovery of square roots, choose $x$ uniformly from $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}{)}^{\times }$, compute $c=x^2$, and ask the alleged decoder for any root $y$ of $c$. Conditional on $c$, the secret $x$ is uniform among its four roots, even if the decoder deterministically chooses $y$. With probability $1/2$, $y\not\equiv \pm x(\mathrm{mod}N)$. Then the signs agree modulo one prime and disagree modulo the other. Sincethe greatest common divisor factors $N$. Independent trials require an expected two successful oracle calls. If a trial's chosen $x$ is not a unit, $\gcd (x,N)$ already factors $N$. This establishes the computational equivalence between factorization and inversion of the squaring map; it does not claim that learning any partial information about a formatted message is equivalent to full inversion.

For coin flipping by telephone, Alice publishes $N$ with its factorization secret. Bob chooses uniformly a unit $x$ with $0<x<N/2$ and sends $c=x^2\mathrm{mod}N$. Alice computes the two roots $r_1,r_2$ in this half interval, selects a binary digit in which they differ, and announces a guess for that digit of Bob's $x$. Bob reveals $x$; Alice verifies its range and square, and their common bit records whether her guess was correct. Alice then reveals $p,q$, so Bob verifies the primes, product, and differing digit.

Conditional on $c$, Bob's original root is equally likely to be $r_1$ or $r_2$, so Alice's guess succeeds with probability $1/2$. Bob cannot change his answer to the other half-interval root without finding a nontrivial second square root, which would factor $N$ by the argument above. Thus, assuming factorization is hard and the prescribed sampling and completed exchange are followed,The revealed factors make the completed transcript checkable. The protocol does not prevent a party from aborting communication.

Identify the Möbius group with ${\mathrm{PSL}}_2(\mathbb{C})$, the orientation-preserving isometry group of three-dimensional hyperbolic space. Here a properly discontinuous group action permits finite stabilizers: for each compact set $K$, only finitely many $g$ satisfy $gK\cap K\ne \varnothing$.

Fix $o\in {\mathbb{H}}^3$. The set of isometries with $d(o,go)\le R$ is compact. To see this, an orientation-preserving isometry is uniquely determined by the image of an oriented orthonormal frame at $o$. The image point lies in a compact closed hyperbolic ball and its frame lies in a compact rotation-group fiber. These choices parametrize the indicated set of isometries continuously.

A discrete subgroup of a topological group is closed: otherwise distinct subgroup elements accumulating at the same point would have quotients tending to the identity, contradicting isolation of the identity. Its intersection with a compact set is therefore finite. If $K\subseteq B(o,R)$ and $gK\cap K\ne \varnothing$, choosing $x,gx\in K$ gives $d(o,go)\le d(o,gx)+d(gx,go)\le 2R$. Hence discreteness implies a properly discontinuous group action. Conversely, if the subgroup is not discrete, distinct $g_n$ tend to the identity. For a compact ball $K$ with $o$ in its interior, eventually $g_{n}o\in K$, so infinitely many $g_{n}K$ meet $K$, contradicting proper discontinuity. This proves the equivalence.

Matrices of determinant one over the Gaussian integers are closed under multiplication and inversion, with inverse $\left(\begin{array}{cc}d& -b\\ -c& a\end{array}\right)$. Quotienting by $\{\pm I\}$ gives the specified group of Möbius transformations. The Gaussian integers form a discrete set in the complex plane, so these matrices form a discrete subgroup of ${\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{C})$, and the finite quotient remains discrete. Thus this group acts properly discontinuously on ${\mathbb{H}}^3$.

Explicit representatives of all four types areThe first is $z\mapsto -1/z$ and has order two; the second is the nonidentity translation $z\mapsto z+1$. The third has positive real reciprocal eigenvalues $(3\pm \sqrt{5})/2$, giving translation along an axis without rotation. For the last, a nonreal trace excludes both unit-modulus and real eigenvalues. Its multiplier therefore has modulus different from one and a nonzero rotation angle: it is a loxodromic Möbius transformation.

For neighbouring comoving observers separated by a small physical distance $d\ell$, the recession velocity is $H(t)d\ell$, where $H=\dot{a}/a$ is the Hubble parameter. During the photon's travel time $dt=d\ell /c$, the local Doppler effect gives $d\lambda /\lambda =Hdt$. Integrating along the ray gives the cosmological wavelength-redshift relation:The same ratio stretches the arrival interval of successive wave crests and of successive emitted pulses: $d{t}_0=(1+z)d{t}_e$. Each photon loses a factor $1+z$ in energy because $E=hc/\lambda$. Thus energy arriving through the sphere per unit observer time has one factor from cosmological redshift and one from time dilation:This is the total power crossing the sphere; division by its area would give the observed flux.

For any function $f:X\to \mathcal{P}(X)$, form the diagonal subsetIf $f$ were surjective, some $d\in X$ would satisfy $f(d)=D$. Then $d\in D$ would hold exactly when $d\notin D$, which is impossible. Thus no set surjects onto its power set, including the empty-set case. This is Cantor's theorem proved by the Cantor diagonal argument.

Use real-number pairing by separated digits for an explicit injection ${\mathbb{R}}^2\to \mathbb{R}$. First map a real number to $(0,1)$ by $q(x)=\frac{1}{2}+{\pi }^{-1}\arctan x$, and use its unique binary expansion that is not eventually all ones. If $q(x)={\sum }_{n\ge 1}{a}_n{2}^{-n}$ and $q(y)={\sum }_{n\ge 1}{b}_n{2}^{-n}$, defineThis places the two binary digit strings in alternating ternary positions. Such ternary strings, using only digits zero and one, are unique: at a first differing position $k$, the difference $3^{-k}$ exceeds the maximum tail ${\sum }_{j>k}{3}^{-j}=\frac{1}{2}{3}^{-k}$. Thus the output recovers both digit strings and both inputs. The use of base three avoids any endpoint ambiguity caused by interleaving digits in base two.

For a fixed $A\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^2$, the affine sections of a planar set are indexed byThere is an injection $\iota :\mathcal{I}\to \mathbb{R}$, for example by applying $J$ to each coordinate pair and then once more to those two results. Suppose every subset of $\mathbb{R}$ were a section of $A$. Define a function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$ by assigning to $\iota (\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b})$ the corresponding section, and assigning the empty set to every real outside $\iota (\mathcal{I})$. Injectivity of $\iota$ makes this definition unambiguous. It would be a surjection onto $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{R})$, contradicting the first argument. No planar set has every subset of the real line as a section. Allowing different parametrizations of the same line does not evade this obstruction.

For all countable sets, however, such a planar set does exist. To build one, first encode every real sequence $s=(s_1,s_2,\dots )$ by one real number. Let $a_{nk}$ be the canonical binary digits of $q(s_n)$, and choose the explicit indexingThis is a bijection from positive integer pairs to positive integers. Define the coding of real sequences by ternary digitsThe same first-differing-digit argument proves that $c$ is injective; all its values lie in $[0,1/2]$. Now takeFor every nonempty countable set $S\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, choose an enumeration $s$ of $S$, repeating terms if $S$ is finite. On the vertical line with $\mathbf{a}=(c(s),0)$ and $\mathbf{b}=(0,1)$, the section of $A$ is precisely $S$: injective sequence coding means no other sequence can contribute extra values in this column. The empty set is the section on the line $x=2$, since all code columns have first coordinate at most $1/2$. This constructs the required universal planar set for countable real sections. No assertion about its other, nonvertical sections is needed.

Define the binomial coefficient $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)$ to be the number of $i$-element subsets of an $n$-element set. Counting ordered selections and dividing by the $i!$ orders of each subset givesEvery subset has exactly one size, while each of the $n$ elements can independently be included or omitted. Hence the power set has $2^n$ members andTo prove the binomial theorem, expand the product of $n$ factors $(1+x)$. A term $x^i$ results from choosing $x$ from precisely an $i$-element subset of the factors and choosing one elsewhere. Its coefficient is therefore $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)$. This is a finite distributive expansion, valid for every real $x$, and givesDifferentiate this polynomial identity and set $x=1$:A second derivative gives $\sum i(i-1)\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)=n(n-1)2^{n-2}$ for $n\ge 2$. Since $i^2=i(i-1)+i$, it follows thatThe formula also holds for $n=1$, when its value is one; that case can be checked directly without differentiating twice.

For the squared binomial coefficients, compare the coefficient of $x^n$ in $(1+x{)}^n(1+x{)}^n=(1+x{)}^{2n}$. On the left it is ${\sum }_i\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{n-i}\right)$, and the binomial coefficient symmetry gives $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{n-i}\right)=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)$. ThusFinally put $S={\sum }_{i}i{\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)}^2$ and replace the index $i$ by $n-i$. The same symmetry gives $S={\sum }_i(n-i){\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{i}\right)}^2$. Adding the two expressions and using the preceding identity yields

Write the standard Lorentz transformation as $x^{\prime }=\gamma (x-vt)$, $c{t}^{\prime }=\gamma (ct-vx/c)$, with Lorentz factor $\gamma =(1-v^2/c^2{)}^{-1/2}$ and $|v|<c$. In the null coordinates in two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, addition and subtraction giveSince both factors are positive,Their product is one, so Lorentz invariance of the interval follows immediately:Two successive collinear Lorentz boosts multiply the positive-coordinate factor by $\lambda (v_2)\lambda (v_1)$ and the negative-coordinate factor by its reciprocal. Thus they have the same form with a velocity $v_3$ determined byCross multiplication yields the relativistic velocity-addition formula formulaFor $|v_1|,|v_2|<c$, the denominator is positive andso $v_3$ is admissible. The positive square roots then verify the factor identity itself, not merely its square. In terms of rapidity $v/c=\tanh \eta$, this same calculation is addition of rapidities because $\lambda (v)=e^{-\eta }$.

In a short time $dt$, the radius vector sweeps an oriented area $d\mathcal{A}=\frac{1}{2}{r}^{2}d\theta$. ThusThe constant $h$ is twice the oriented areal velocity, or the angular momentum per unit mass. Its constancy is Kepler's second law: equal areas are swept in equal times.

For a circular orbit of radius $a$, set $\ddot{r}=0$ in the radial equation. The balance isHence a circular orbit exists for any $a>0$ with this nonzero $|h|$. Its period gives Kepler's third law:To check circular-orbit stability for a power-law central force directly, keep $h$ fixed and set $r=a+\rho$. Expandingabout the balanced radius givesThe linear radial perturbation therefore obeysIt remains bounded and oscillates, proving stability under the stipulated small perturbations. Equivalently, the specific effective potential $h^2/(2r^2)-GM/r$ has a strict minimum at $a$.

An equivalence relation is a binary relation that is simultaneously a reflexive relation, a symmetric relation and a transitive relation: $x\sim x$; $x\sim y$ implies $y\sim x$; and $x\sim y$, $y\sim z$ imply $x\sim z$. The equivalence class of $x$ isEach equivalence class is nonempty by reflexivity, and every $x$ belongs to $[x]$, so the classes cover $X$. If $z\in [x]\cap [y]$, then the symmetric relation and transitive relation properties give $x\sim z\sim y$. Every $w\in [x]$ therefore satisfies $w\sim x\sim y$, so $[x]\subseteq [y]$; the reverse inclusion follows similarly. Thus two classes are either identical or disjoint. The distinct equivalence classes consequently form a set partition of $X$.

The divisibility-comparability relation is a reflexive relation and a symmetric relation, but is not an equivalence relation. Indeed, $2\sim 6$ and $6\sim 3$, whereas neither $2\mid 3$ nor $3\mid 2$, so transitivity fails.

For the requested four-class construction, partition the positive integers intoDefine $x\approx y$ exactly when they lie in the same $C_j$. Equality of the class label is an equivalence relation. Its four classes are the two finite singletons and the two infinite parity classes displayed above.
