Prove that (f+g)(x) is an odd function, if f and g are odd functions (Stewart, Calculus)

-
Suppose f(x) and g(x) are odd functions. Prove that (f+g)(x) is also an odd function.  Answer:  1. Strategy By definition, f is an odd function if and only if f(-x) = - f(x) To show (f+g) is an odd function, we need to show (f+g)(-x) = - (f+g)(x) 2. Explanation Since $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are odd functions $\Rightarrow f(-x) =-f(x)$ and $g(-x) =-g(x)$ By definition of sum of functions. $(f+g)(-x) =f(-x)+g(-x)$ $=-f(x)-g(x)$ $=-(f(x)+g(x))$ $=-(f+g)(x)$ (by definition of sum of functions) $\Rightarrow(f+g)(-x) =-(f+g)(x)$ $\Rightarrow f+g$ is an odd function. Q.E.D.

[Python] Sublime Text: set a build on Python 2.7 creating a sublime-build file (solution to WinError 2 problem)

-

If anyone attempts to install Sublime Text, faces an error message [WinError 2], and notices your Python code does not work (like I did), I suggest you to do the following:

(note: I am working this on Windows 10) 

Situation: error message on my computer when I run "Build" by pressing ctrl+B 


1. Make sure your Python code is saved (e.g. I saved my HelloWorld.py file on my C:\Brian\PythonLab) 

2. Go to Tools > Build System > New Build System

3. on the untitled.sublime-build, type the following

{
    "cmd": ["(your directory for Python goes here)", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}
In my case, I installed Python 2.7 on the directory C:\python27

Note that the directory should be represented using double \ (\\). 

That is,

C:\\Python27\\python.exe 

So in my case:

{
"cmd": ["C:\\Python27\\python.exe", "-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}

should be the appropriate address for python.exe on my computer. 


4. save the sublime-build file: make sure the file extension must be .sublime-build

In my case, I typed "Python27.sublime-build" and saved. 

Note: make sure you save on:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User

 

In my case, it would be: 

C:\Users\bjhle\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\User

 

5. Go to Tools > Build System > Python27 (depending on the name you saved) 



6. Go to your "py" code tab > tools > build with > choose your Python (in my case Python27)


7. Run "Build," using Tools > Build or pressing Ctrl+B

 

8. Result on my Sublime Text:

[Python] NOT operator examples

-
Image
  NOT operator takes 1 argument and gives you output based on the validity of the argument. If the argument is true, then the result of NOT operator(argument) is false.   If the argument is false, then the result of NOT operator(argument) is true.  I will provide a few examples: expression boolean value (true, false) of expression  NOT (boolean value of expression) 1 > 2 false true 3 == 3 true false "rain" == "Rain" false true "snow" == "snow" true false In Python codes:
