Let H = X(X'X)^-1X' and M = In - X(X'X)^-1X' where X is a n x k-dimensional matrix. Show that H is positive semi-definite and has rank k. Use that a symmetric matrix is positive semi-definite if and only if its eigenvalues are non-negative. You can use that rank(H) = trace(H).

Problem 8. Suppose that H has index 2 in G. Prove that H is normal in G. (Hint: Usually to prove that a subgroup is normal, the conjugation criterion (Theorem 17.4) is easier to use than the definition, but this problem is a rare exception. Since H has index 2 in G, there are only two left cosets, one of which is H itself – use this to describe the other coset. Then do the same for right 1 cosets....

1. A negative charge, -q, has a mass, m, and an initial velocity, v, but is infinitely far away from a fixed large positive charge of +Q and radius R such that if the negative charge continued at constant velocity it would miss the center of the fixed charge by perpendicular amount b. But because of the Coulomb attraction between the two charges the incoming negative charge is deviated from its straight line course and attracted to the fixed charge...
