If T is a linear operator on an arbitrary vector space and if there is a monic polynomial P such that Af, then parts ( A ) and ( B ) of Theorem 12 are valid for T with the proof which we gave.

If the vertex is at Af, and if the interior of C is on the left as one moves in the direction of increasing t, then every such corner can be found from the curve obtained by rotating C clockwise through 90-degrees about the vertex.

If a stitch in a finished crocheted item breaks, the stitches above and below remain intact, and because of the complex looping of each stitch, the stitches on either side are unlikely to come loose unless heavily stressed.

If a coin is greatly lacking in all of these, it is unlikely to be worth much.

If this does not simply reflect Gregory ’ s ignorance of Kentish affairs, which seems unlikely given the close ties between Kent and the Franks, then some assert that Æthelberht ’ s reign cannot have begun before 589.

If the government has a large majority, then they are very unlikely to lose enough votes to be unable to pass legislation.

If a developing organism such as an unborn child is irradiated, it is possible a birth defect may be induced, but it is unlikely this defect will be in a gamete or a gamete-forming cell.

If jamming is used continually, it can be extremely difficult for a missile to acquire the target, locking on to the much larger return from the jammer, with the operator unlikely noticing the difference without a radar screen to see the return.

If present, a layer of liquid water would suggest the possibility, however unlikely, of life.

If both parents of a child have achondroplasia, and both parents pass on the mutant gene, then it is very unlikely that the homozygous child will live past a few months of its life.

If the detonation does not occur exactly as planned, such as in the case of a misfire, a nuclear reaction is unlikely to occur-the explosion will be no greater than the amount of conventional explosive ( although radioactive material — the unreacted nuclear fuel — may be dispersed ).

:;… when the batting team is scoring quickly: If the batsmen are managing to score runs quickly, it is unlikely they are offering many chances to get them out, so reduce the run scoring rate.

If a " From " string occurs at the beginning of a line in either the headers or the body of a message ( unlikely for the former for correctly formatted messages, but likely for the latter ), the e-mail message must be modified before the message is stored in an mbox mailbox file or the line will be taken as a message boundary.

If properly executed, a play at home plate is extremely unlikely.

If the subjects in the experiment are suspicious of the researcher, they are unlikely to behave as they normally would, and the researcher ’ s control of the experiment is then compromised ( p. 807 ).

If the planet Epsilon Eridani b exists then this belt is unlikely to have had a source outside the orbit of the planet, so the dust may have been created by fragmentation and cratering of larger bodies such as asteroids.

If there is a shallow obstacle on the track ( such as a brick wall ), it is not entirely unlikely that the car will completely leap over it, and this is very undesirable.
