### Are $X$ and $Y-E(Y|X)$ independent?

The question is quite simple: if $X$ and $Y$ are two random variables (with unknown distribution, possibly independent), are $X$ and $Z=Y-E(Y|X)$ independent? Thinking about the conditional ...

### Eliminating $x=-3,5$ when we solve the system $y=|3-x|, 4y-(x^2-9)=-24$

$$y=|3-x|$$ $$4y-(x^2-9)=-24$$ I use two methods to solve it, Method 1: Squaring both sides and eventually get a equation like this$$(x-5)(x-7)(x+3)(x+9)=0$$, $x=-9,-3,5,7$. Method 2:Using $$y=3-x$$ ...

### Is the singular locus of a variety (as a variety itself) a smooth variety?

A general fact about the singular locus $Sing(X)$ of a variety $X$ (analytic or projective) is that they form a subvariety of the oringinal variety $X$. And we know that the boundary of a manifold ...
