For the second one, ||A||, I do 2*A[1][1]\*B[1][1] + A[1][2]*B[1][2] + A[2][1]*B[2][1] + A[2][2]*B[2][2]

#

And then take the square root

fringe onyx
#

You missed the 2 on the last term

bitter wharf
#

A[2][2]*B[2][2]?

fringe onyx
#

2a22a22 on its own is 50

#

Look at the definition of the inner product

bitter wharf
#

Yeah

bitter wharf
#

But on the scrap paper I didn't make that mistake

fringe onyx
#

It should all be A

#

You are missing the factor of 2

#

For the last term

bitter wharf
#

Oh, I'm blind

#

My bad

#

Thanks

It's ok no worries

#

Wouldn't this be true only sometimes?

midnight plankBOT
lusty cave
#

my logic is results could be -1, 1

#

So it cant always be -1 cause it could be 1

#

it cant never be -1 cause -1 is viable

#

but it could sometimes be -1, and other times be 1

#

Or would 1 maybe not be applicable?

hearty rune

you are correct

@split gust Has your question been resolved?

that's crucial for figuring out the basis

midnight plankBOT
#

@split gust Has your question been resolved?

carmine sigil
#

@split gust yes, imagine if included any a^n with n>=d. Then you could use the polynomial to reduce your a^n terms into smaller terms.

#

Like if you had x^8 - x^2 + 1 as your polynomial, then you know, because a^8 - a^2 + 1 = 0, that any time you have a^8 you can replace it with a^2 - 1

ionic thicket
#

i dont know how to do c

midnight plankBOT
ionic thicket
#

ideally i would do A^nB times (x,2x) = (x,2x)?

#

But that means 2^nx = x? or did i do smth wrong

ancient ridge
#

Where are you getting 2^nx = x from

ionic thicket
ancient ridge
#

Then yes, you did something wrong.

ionic thicket
ancient ridge
#

I don't know, for one, that is not the product of A^nB[x,2x]^T and even if it were, you didn't show any work to indicate how you would go from that to 2^nx = x.

ionic thicket
#

<@&286206848099549185>

hybrid crane
#

The equation you have would be the case of a line of invariant points rather than an invariant line

midnight plankBOT
#

@ionic thicket Has your question been resolved?

tough spindle
#

You want to ensure that the new vector $\binom{\left(2^n \right)x}{\left(2^n + 32 \right)x}$ lies on the line $y = 2x$, or in other words $\left(2^n + 32 \right)x = 2\left(2^n \right)x$ for every $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Just solve for $n$ now.

grand pondBOT
#

PowerUp

ionic thicket
#

is that the essence of "invariant line"

tough spindle
#

"Invariance" here means that, given any point on the given line, the image must also lie on the line. So in this case, $A^n B \binom{1}{2}$ must equal $\binom{x}{y}$ satisfying $y = 2x$ because $\binom{1}{2}$ lies on the line as well.

grand pondBOT
#

PowerUp

tough spindle
#

So your goal must be to find the value of $n$ that makes this possible.

grand pondBOT
#

PowerUp

tough spindle
#

And it should not only be true for $\binom{1}{2}$, but also for ANY point on the line.

bleak hawk
#

If, for example, lim(x→7) a^x = 10, is a⁷ = 10?

bleak hawk
#

Probably a bit of a dumb pointless question, but still, it does confuse me a bit

fresh sparrow
#

yes

#

(in this case)

bleak hawk
fresh sparrow
#

if you have a discontinuity

bleak hawk
#

Ok

#

So if the limit doesn't exist, essentially?

fresh sparrow
#

no

#

for example $f(x)=\begin{cases} x + 2 \text{ if } x\neq 3 \ 9 \text{ if } x=3\end{cases}$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

$f(3) = 9$, but $\lim_{a\to 3} f(a) = 5$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

bleak hawk
#

Ohhh makes sense yeah

#

Both lateral limits point to the same value (so the limit exists), but in this function the real value is different

#

Right?

fresh sparrow
#

yep

#

this is called a removable discontinuity if you are wondering

bleak hawk
#

When you force it to be continuous

fresh sparrow
#

it's not continuous

bleak hawk
#

Oops

fresh sparrow
#

it's just defined for all reals now

bleak hawk
#

Yeah, wrong example

fresh sparrow
bleak hawk
#

Yeah

fresh sparrow
#

non-removable discontinuity i guess lol

bleak hawk
#

Lol

fresh sparrow
#

bro's cooking something

bleak hawk
#

So I was kinda struggling to get why 0,999... = 1

I get that lim(n → +inf) 0,[n digits of 9] = 1
So that's why I asked you if the limit is equal to the real value. So that is a valid way of thinking of that 0,999... = 1, or nah? Or is there some discontinuity that makes the limit different from the actual value??

bleak hawk
fresh sparrow
bleak hawk
#

Idk if my train of thought is making any sense to begin with lol

bleak hawk
#

But I don't think I have learned them yet?

fresh sparrow
#

quick and easy proof of this\
consider the sum\ $0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + \cdots = 0.9 + 0.9 * 0.1 + 0.9 * 0.1^2 + \cdots$\
this is an infinite geometric series, with first element 0.9 and ratio 0.1\
so using the infinite geometric series formula we get\
$\frac{0.9}{1-0.1} = \frac{0.9}{0.9} = 1$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
bleak hawk
#

Hm ok thanks

#

I will ask one more random, unrelated question

fresh sparrow
#

go for it

bleak hawk
#

So I get that some infinites are larger than others. Is it possible to quantify that difference in some cases?

Ex1:
x = +inf
y = x + 5
(by consequence) y = +inf
Is it correct to say:

  • Although both are positive infinites, infinity y is exactly 5 units larger than infinity x.

Ex2:
(informally) We know that for every natural number (except 0) there is exactly one negative counterpart.
Be n the number of elements in the set of the natural numbers (N)
And z the number of elements in the set of the integers (Z)
Is it correct to say:

  • Although both are positive infinites, z is exactly twice as much as n, minus one. That is: z = 2n - 1
fresh sparrow
#

ex1: sorta!
ex2: nope

bleak hawk
#

Why? Especially ex2

fresh sparrow
#

okay i'm going to try to be brief but it's a topic on which there are hundreds of videos on youtube

bleak hawk
#

No problem

fringe onyx
#

Even 1 is kind of nope

fresh sparrow
#

with ordinal arithmetic it's sorta doable

fringe onyx
#

Oh yeah, I was thinking we are using the extended reals

fresh sparrow
#

cardinals are numbers that measure sizes of sets: 1 apple, 2 banas, 5000 fighting jets, etc.

#

ordinals are numbers that represent the position of something: 1st, 2nd, 5000th

bleak hawk
#

Hm yeah I'm aware of that

fresh sparrow
#

with finite numbers there's a direct and one-to-one correspondence between cardinals and ordinals, they are basically the same thing

#

the moment we start dealing with infinities they become different things

#

(i will not go into the reason why)

#

so your statement in ex1 is actually doable within ordinal arithmetic, but not cardican arithmetic

#

the smallest infinite ordinal is called omega ($\omega$)

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

the smallest infinite cardinal is called aleph-zero $\aleph_0$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

within ordinals $\omega$ and $\omega + 5$ are distinct things: indeed, if we have something (somehow) at the $\omega th$ place, the next thing after would be on the $(\omega+1) th$ place, they are clearly distinct

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

that is not the case though for cardinals: $\aleph_0 + 1 = \aleph_0$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

if we consider the set of all positive integers $({1,2,3\cdots})$ and add $0$ as another element, we get ${0,1,2,3,\cdots}$

grand pondBOT
#

artemetra

fresh sparrow
#

do these two sets have the same size (cardinality)? yes!

#

why?
the very definition of two sets having the same cardinality is if there is a bijection between them: basically a way to map each element from one set to a unique element in a different set

#

i.e. pair them in a one-to-one correspondence

#

we can do that with the aforementioned sets:
we can map 1 to 0, 2 to 1, 3 to 2 and so on to infinity

#

each number from set will be associated with another number in the other set, and vice versa - so we used up all of them and managed to use each element just once - this is only possible if these two sets have the same cardinality

fresh sparrow
#

so they are both of the same cardinality, namely aleph-null

#

@bleak hawk i know it was a lot so if anything ask lol

#

although i don't know if i will reply, it's 2 am here

bleak hawk
#

@fresh sparrow It is more complex than I imagined, but I think I got a part of it at least

fresh sparrow
#

there's a great vsauce video on this

#

i think it was called "how to count past infinity", probably more digestible than what i wrote here

bleak hawk
#

Out of curiosity, what area of mathematics studies this type of things? The only math classes I have taken in college (for now) is Calculus I and Discrete Maths

fresh sparrow
#

logic and set theory

bleak hawk
fresh sparrow
bleak hawk
#

Hm probably not in computer science lol

#

Maybe in math

#

hello, im doing #8

#

not sure what im doing wrong

#

i chose 2 points in Plane 1

#

then found the vector connecting them

distant vigil
#

can you show any working out?

grave locust
#

yes its the first picture

#

i uploaded

#

its a bit higher

distant vigil
#

From what I remember

grave locust
#

im using the formula $d(A,P) = \frac{\vec{QA}\vec{n_2}}{||n||^2}\vec{n}$

distant vigil
#

to show two planes are parallel you find their normal vectors

grand pondBOT
grave locust
#

yes i did that

#

but i have trouble with the second part

#

my teacher told us, to find the distance between 2 planes, u take one point on any of the planes and find the distance using the formula i gave

distant vigil
#

if I remember correctly there are two ways to find it

#

you can either find two corresponding points on each plane and find the distance between those two points

#

or you can find the distance of each plane from the origin and then posit that since each plane is parallel, the distance from the origin will give you the distance between each plane

grave locust
#

hmm

#

i cant choose a random point?

distant vigil
#

my fault

grave locust
#

yes thats the method im using

#

the problem is in the formula

#

theres 2 points

#

Q and A

#

and im confused

#

do i take 2 random points?

distant vigil
#

what do points Q and A refer to?

#

are they points on one plane?

grave locust
#

yes

#

random points of plane 1

distant vigil
#

on which plane

#

oh alright

grave locust
#

so n should be of plane 2

distant vigil
#

Well think about how you would find the distance

#

the point of the process of picking one point from the plane is because you know the planes are parallel

#

so the distance should be equal from any point

grave locust
#

yes

distant vigil
#

as such you take the point and find the distance from the point on one plane to the other plane

grave locust
#

yes

distant vigil
#

which is this formula according to my textbook

#

note that n is for plane II

grave locust
#

for parallel planes?

distant vigil
#

but both should be the same

distant vigil
#

because it is the shortest distance from a point in space (which we assign one point on our first plane to be this point) to a plane

#

think about it like this diagram

grave locust
#

ive never seen that formula

distant vigil
grave locust
#

hmm

#

im trying to understand

distant vigil
#

I'm not sure what your formula directly denotes unfortunately

grave locust
#

my teacher gave us this formula to find the distance between a point A and a plane

#

and so Q is a random point

distant vigil
#

what does A, P and Q refer to here?

grave locust
#

P is the plane

distant vigil
#

A is plane 1 and P is plane 2

#

?

#

And I'm assuming Q is a point on the plane

grave locust
#

no

#

that formula is for a point and a plane

#

A is a point

distant vigil
#

oh

grave locust
#

Q is a point on the plane,

distant vigil
grave locust
#

and P is the plane

distant vigil
grave locust
#

ohhh

#

i just got it

#

thank you so muchh ❤️

supple pilot
# uncut plume

if you look at the line AB and knowing the centers are in distance of 1 and 2 from A and B respectively it follows that the distance between centers of two small circles is 2

#

which means that center of the circle with radius 1 lies on the second circle

#

then you get sth like this and if i didn't make a mistake then you can get y and z from this

#

by using pythagorean theorem

#

rest is quite easy

uncut plume
supple pilot
#

the little one between 1 and x is z

uncut plume
#

oh what is that

supple pilot
#

it's the distance from center of circle 1 to the PQ line

#

y is distance from center of circle 2 to PQ line

uncut plume
#

yea got it thanks a lot I will try solving it and inform you

uncut plume
#

i got these but the prob is that there are 3 variables now

supple pilot
#

yup, but you know that y+z = 2 right

#

it's a bit tricky but if you subtract the two lines it should be more evident

uncut plume
supple pilot
#

that's what i arrived at too

@uncut plume Has your question been resolved?

#

how?

civic moth
#

Sry this was wrong

#

Give me some time

civic moth

For solving this u have to use a little geometry,u will get that the circle omega2 passes through the centre of small circle hence u can find the distance between A and intersection of AB by PQ
By using this u can calculate the distance between intersection of AB by PQ and the centre of big circle ohm
Then apply Pythagoras theorem and solve @uncut plume

twilit field
#

right so far?

wind oxide
#

thonkzoom the finite sums is an inegral only in the limit as n goes to infinity right?

#

if i am not wrong

twilit field
#

yeah

wind oxide
#

ah okay

twilit field
#

I'm assuming n tends to 0

wind oxide
#

thonkzoom not infinity???

twilit field
#

the partition must tend to zero, no

wind oxide
#

i think the goal is to find integral(s) whose riemann sum should be equivalent to the lower bound sum and upper bound sum

twilit field
#

wait

#

1/n tends to zero

#

right

#

okay

#

yeah n tends to infty

wind oxide
twilit field
#

what now

wind oxide
# twilit field what now

uhhh try finding something similar for the upper bound and then work it back from those integrals for the actual proof. Also pretty sure if the limit holds to infinity, in this case, it will hold for some finite constant as well, so then ur proof would be done

#

altho i cant really remember why it'll hold for n constant in this case

wind oxide
twilit field
#

yeah, I know

wind oxide
#

oh wait I am so god damn dumb, u gotta prove log 2 >= or <= than those integrals 🤦‍♂️

twilit field
#

trying to figure out the bounds of the integral

twilit field
#

sort of

wind oxide
#

no?

#

its actually integration

twilit field
#

yeah

wind oxide
#

the integral of 1/(x+1) = ln|x+1| + C. so just to definite integration on that

twilit field
#

we're just using the defn of the definite integral

wind oxide
#

yes

twilit field
#

I'm trying to learn the defn by solving problems as this isn't a proof based book, is that a bad idea?

wind oxide
hard umbra
#

that's false

wind oxide
wind oxide
hard umbra
#

a riemann sum for something like x^3 - x could go either way

wind oxide
#

ur adding on a positive quantity (atleast in this case)

hard umbra
#

the position you choose to evaluate the point matters

wind oxide
hard umbra
#

no it's just false in general

twilit field
#

$\int_0^{1^+}\frac{1}{x+1}\le\log\left(2\right)\le\int_0^{1^-}\frac{1}{x+1}$

grand pondBOT
#

ƒ(Why am. I here)=I don't Know

twilit field
#

pretty sure i've messed this up somehwere

hard umbra
#

what do those integrals have to do with log(2)

#

oh you've shifted it

wind oxide
hard umbra
#

okay that's fine

#

i can see that

twilit field
hard umbra
#

have you seen the darboux sums?

twilit field
#

no

wind oxide
hard umbra
#

that's what you're meant to be using

#

the n value has nothing to do with it

twilit field
#

it isn't atleast explicitly mentioned in my book thusfar

hard umbra
#

well have you even defined integrals so far

twilit field
#

yes

#

definite intgrals

hard umbra
#

what's the definition that you're working with

twilit field
#

The definite integral of f betwnee a and b is the unique number which is greater than or equal to every lower sum and less than or equal to every upper sum

hard umbra
#

those are the darboux sums

twilit field
#

oh\

#

ok

hard umbra
#

you need to pick a partition of [0, 1], and apply the definition

twilit field
#

hmm, so I could take a partition of 1/n in both cases

hard umbra
#

what is "a partition of 1/n"

#

a partition of [0, 1] is an ordered list of numbers

twilit field
#

I mean a partition into n parts

#

where n tends to infty

hard umbra
#

no you dont need "n tends to infinity"

#

The definite integral of f betwnee a and b is the unique number which is greater than or equal to every lower sum and less than or equal to every upper sum

#

it doesnt say anything about n tending to infinity here

twilit field
#

ok, yeah

hard umbra
#

so what are the points of the partition

last slate
#

no

twilit field
#

there are n points

hard umbra
#

tell me the points

twilit field
#

where $n \in \N$

#

okay

grand pondBOT
#

ƒ(Why am. I here)=I don't Know

twilit field
#

uh, 1 11/n, 1 2/n

#

etc

hard umbra
#

if you want to evaluate the integral
[ \int_0^1 \f 1 {x + 1} \dd x, ]
you are partitioning $[0, 1]$

grand pondBOT
hard umbra
#

the partition is a sequence of points
[ P = (0 = x_0 < x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_n = 1) ]

twilit field
#

right

#

my bad

grand pondBOT
twilit field
#

so 1/n,2/n

hard umbra
#

okay great

#

[ 0 = x_0 < \f1n < \f2n < \dots < \f nn = 1, \qquad x_j = \f jn ]

grand pondBOT
hard umbra
#

so now you apply the definition of the upper and lower sums

#

do you know these?

twilit field
#

I know the defn

#

but not sure of how to apply it

hard umbra
#

write out the definition

twilit field
#

$\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}f(a)((x_{i+1} - x_i)$

grand pondBOT
#

ƒ(Why am. I here)=I don't Know

twilit field
#

where a is the point at which the function attains its minimum in a given interval

hard umbra
#

okay so

#

apply this to our current partition

#

,, L(f, P) = \sum_{i = 0}^{n - 1} \min_{x \in [x_i, x_{i + 1}]} f(x) \cdot (x_{i + 1} - x_i)

grand pondBOT
twilit field
#

okay, I don't see how the helps here though

hard umbra
#

,, \map L {\f 1 {x + 1}, P = (x_j = \tf jn)} = \sum_{j = 0}^{n - 1} \min_{x \in [\f jn, \f {j+1}n]} \f 1 {x + 1} \cdot \parens [\bigg] {\f {j + 1} n - \f jn}

grand pondBOT
hard umbra
#

this is a literally rewriting of the definition, with everything plugged in

twilit field
#

hmm,ok

#

and the upper sum would be ,, \map L {\f 1 {x + 1}, P = (xj = \tf jn)} = \sum{j = 0}^{n - 1} \max{x \in [\f jn, \f {j+1}n]} \f 1 {x + 1} \cdot \parens [\bigg] {\f {j + 1} n - \f jn}

#

right?

#

$\map L {\f 1 {x + 1}, P = (xj = \tf jn)} = \sum{j = 0}^{n - 1} \max{x \in [\f jn, \f {j+1}n]} \f 1 {x + 1} \cdot \parens [\bigg] {\f {j + 1} n - \f jn}$

here you go

twilit field
#

so this would be the right hand side of the inequality, right?

hard umbra

what we know for sure is that

slate ferry
#

I dont understand why pi is 180 when its in an angle of a trig function

dim lotus
#

We define radians to act like this

slate ferry
#

Like sin(70) that 70 is in degrees

tacit rose
#

No degrees is a unit, same with radians

zealous schooner
#

Radians is a much better unit

#

Which is why we ditch degrees altogether after a point

slate ferry
#

So why sin(pi 70) is sin( 18070) like why did we turn pi in degrees to pi in radians

#

Hmmmmm

tacit rose
#

Because pi radians and 70 degrees are two different units, so it's not compatible to do the calculation like that so you have to convert one of the values

#

So pi radians = 180 degrees

#

It's similar to ft and inches, if you wanted to find area, you don't do 1 ft times 12 inches because the units are different

#

You'd convert the units first

slate ferry
#

Ok that makes sense

#

But still- why do we assume that pi in an angle is in radians not degrees

#

Like sin(pi) why did we assume that its sin(180) not sin(3.14…..)

zealous schooner
#

$180^\circ=\pi^c$

grand pondBOT
#

kheerii

zealous schooner
slate ferry
#

I see

zealous schooner
#

It’s much more convenient to think of angles in radians

tacit rose
zealous schooner
#

They connect very nicely to how we define trig functions using the unit circle

slate ferry
#

Like

#

X/180 = theta/pi

#

I remember this

zealous schooner
#

It’s a bit hard in the beginning

zealous schooner
#

I think that’s right

#

X is the angle in degrees and theta is in radians

slate ferry
#

Yes!

slate ferry
#

Well ty sir nova and kheerii

#

I have another question

#

There was a formula for the angle between two straight lines

#

Tan(theta)= absolute value of

#

M1-m2/m1+m1m2 smth like that

#

M is the slope of each line

zealous schooner
#

All your formulas remain the exact same

#

It’s just that you need to calculate theta in radians instead of degrees

slate ferry
slate ferry
zealous schooner
#

The angle between two lines is defined to be the ACUTE angle between the two lines

#

Whenever two lines intersect, they describe two angles

#

One will be acute and one will be obtuse (except for the case when both lines are perpendicular, in which case both angles are right angles)

#

If you take the negative value then you would get the obtuse angle

slate ferry
#

Oh you mean two of them will be acute or-

zealous schooner
zealous schooner

grand pondBOT
#

kheerii

slate ferry
zealous schooner
#

Make them more slanted

slate ferry
#

Ah- idk what slanted even means i just changed how they look

zealous schooner
#

They still look very perpendicular

slate ferry
#

Wth is perpendidckal

#

What is that

#

Its a devilish word what is the meaning of it

clever coral
zealous schooner
slate ferry
#

Oj yes

#

Where id yhe acute angle

#

I love how this turned into an english terminology class

slate ferry
#

Theta1 and theta2 are def not acute… right

clever coral
#

This picture should be helpful

clever coral
#

An acute angle is just a small angle

slate ferry
#

Nice

#

I thought its another word for right angles

clever coral
#

tbh all the words for angles are weird

summer ravine
#

acute angles are less than 90 deg.
obtuse more than 90 and less than 180.

slate ferry
#

Ok ok uhm

slate ferry
# zealous schooner

So- getting positive value gives you the acute ones and getting negative value guves you the obtuse ones

#

This rule

#

My book says “if tan of theta is positive” how will it ever be anything but positive if we take the absolute value

some more are at the top dk if i shou;d pin or what

#

some help would be greatly appriciated and i look forward to seeing what u guys cook up 👍 😄

fathom knoll
# hollow harness

3 ideas are required here: first that the angles inside a triangle need to sum up to 180, then the angle of a full circle is 360 (use for the red one) and the angle spanning a line/half-circle is 180. So basically the complement of the red angle which corresponds to that angle inside the triangle is 360 - 287, the angle complementing the yellow one which is the angle inside the triangle is 180-119 and hence you can figure out what the blue angle should be. Does that make sense?

fathom knoll
# hollow harness

For this the two lines around the yellow angle have the same length hence the two angles complementing the yello angle inside the triangle are equal.

cunning vault
# hollow harness

The sum of an interior angle of a polygon is 180(n-2) where n is the side, you already had 3 given angles

Here draw a line from M to PN which is orthogonal let's say it hits PN at Q. So QMLP is a rectangle and angle MQN is 90 and angle QMN is 138-90 = 48. You can get angle MNP

I just don't know how to handle the -5

#

like what do they want me to do with the other side

humble torrent
#

Alright, so once you know y=mx+b

#

Just subtract 5 on both sides

waxen schooner
#

ok lemme solve it real quick and try it

humble torrent
#

Then you have y-5 = mx+b-5

#

Where the RHS is the thing they’re asking for

waxen schooner
#

so I got

#

y=-3x+-11

#

which is just y=-3x-11

#

so is it now y-5=-3x-16? @humble torrent

humble torrent
#

Yup!

waxen schooner
#

it's wrong according to kahn academy 💀

#

wait I did the slope wrong

#

it's normal 3

#

not negative

humble torrent
waxen schooner
#

wait...

#

thats not what you said 💀

#

🤔

humble torrent
#

It doesn’t really matter

#

You’ll get the right thing anyways m

waxen schooner
#

yeah but I'll get it wrong if thats the format they want

humble torrent
#

They’re just doing it directly, rather then subtracting afterwards

humble torrent
#

So the correct equation is y = 3x + 23

#

Now subtracting 5 we get

#

y - 5 = 3x + 18

#

Which is correct

waxen schooner
#

alr

pearl idol
# half ingot Is this legit

More or less, but it doesn't explain that the key step here is linearity of expectation. Are you familiar with that property?

half ingot
#

Nope I just want the answer

#

Is it correct?

pearl idol
#

We don't really give out answers on this server, we can only help guide you to the answer

half ingot
#

So you’re not allowed to tell me if they ai is correct?

pearl idol
#

I'd rather go through its answer with you so that you're able to do the problem yourself, and if the AI is wrong, you can catch it

half ingot
#

Alrighty

pearl idol
#

So, the thing we want to figure out is E f(n) (where E means the expected value)

#

You can expand this out as E (|a1 - a2| + |a3 - a4| + |a5 - a6| + |a7 - a8|)

#

The key step here is that you can break up the sum into four smaller calculations, this is called linearity of expectation

#

So it's equal to E|a1 - a2| + E|a3 - a4| + E|a5 - a6| + E|a7 - a8|

#

Does that make sense?

half ingot
#

Not really

pearl idol
#

Okay let's take it slower

half ingot
#

What’s linearity of expectation

pearl idol
#

Yeah, so linearity of expectation is the idea that if you want to find the expected value of a sum, you can find the expected value of each part of a sum instead

#

So, E(x + y) = Ex + Ey

#

This is useful because sometimes it's easier to find the expected value of each part of the sum rather than the whole thing at once

half ingot
#

Ohh

pearl idol
#

It's a simple idea, but it helps you solve a ton of expected value questions

pearl idol
half ingot
#

So i use that for this question?

#

Wait that’s dumb we are

pearl idol
#

Yeah

half ingot
#

Sorry I’m tired 😭😭

pearl idol
#

All good haha

half ingot
#

Anyways 🥲

pearl idol
#

So now the next observation that makes this problem a ton easier

#

Is that permutations are symmetric, so for example the number of permutations with a1 = 3 and a2 = 2 is the same as the number of permutations with a3 = 3 and a4 = 2

#

Do you see why?

half ingot
#

So when you calculate the sum it’s 84?

pearl idol
#

We're not quite there yet, but we're getting there soon

half ingot
#

Ok

pearl idol
half ingot
pearl idol
#

Alright

#

So basically that means that E|a3 - a4| will be the same thing as E|a1 - a2|

#

because it doesn't really matter if I switch a3 and a1, or a4 and a2

half ingot
#

|blah blah math| takes the absolute value right

#

Just to confirm

pearl idol
#

yup exactly

#

so then this simplifies the problem even more

#

E|a5 - a6| and E|a7 - a8| are also the same thing as E|a1 - a2|

#

which means the answer to the problem comes down to
E|a1 - a2| + E|a1 - a2| + E|a1 - a2| + E|a1 - a2|

half ingot
#

So everything is the same??

#

Oh wow

pearl idol
#

yup

#

because of symmetry

half ingot
#

I love symmetry

pearl idol
#

the third position of the permutation isn't any different from the first position

#

like, 5 isn't more likely to be first than third or anything

pearl idol
half ingot
#

Wait so what exactly is a1 and a2? Does it matter since it’s summery

#

Symetrry

#

equal

pearl idol
#

a1 and a2 are the first and second elements of the permutation

#

but yeah, since they're symmetric it could really be any two elements and we'd get the same answer at the end, that's right

half ingot
#

So like 8 and 3 or 4 and 2?

pearl idol
#

yeah it could be like 4 * E |a8 - a3| or 4 * E |a4 - a2|

#

and because of symmetry, we would still get the same answer at the end

half ingot
#

😦

#

whoazers

pearl idol
#

why frowning, lol

half ingot
#

I thought that’s shocked?

pearl idol
#

oh haha

half ingot
#

🤯

pearl idol
#

so then now we just have to calculate E |a1 - a2| which is way simpler than our original problem

#

if you remember the definition of average value, it's just
(sum of |a1 - a2| for all different possibilities of a1 and a2) / (the number of different possibilities of a1 and a2 there are)

#

does that make sense?

half ingot
#

Would the different number of possibilities be |8- 1| + |7 - 2/ + /6 - 3/ + /4-2/

pearl idol
#

why?

half ingot
#

Idk I have this random memory of collecting the largest and the smallest and like repeating that and finding something maybe it was relevant

#

I dunno man I was dealing with a bunch of 4 year olds for like 8 hours I’m dead 💀💀

#

So I just need to find out how to find the number of possibilities

#

Different possibilities*

#

This makes sense

#

Thank you 😭😭

pearl idol
half ingot
#

Yea I volunteer

pearl idol
#

that's cool

half ingot
#

They were so hyper and they kept wanting to go play during snack time

#

ONE KEPT RUNNING OFF I LITERALLY HAD TO CATCH HIM 💀💀

#

Anyways I can finally solve my math now, thank you 🫶

pearl idol
#

If you're curious how to find E |a1 - a2|, it's basically what the AI did

#

the number of different possibilities is 8 choose 2, which is 28

#

and then you can find the numerator of the fraction by doing the weird sum thing it does in step 2

#

so the AI answer ends up being right 👍

half ingot
#

FR?

#

Maybe it’s not that stupid after all

pearl idol
#

haha yeah, but don't trust it too much

half ingot
#

I like giving it math questions cause sometimes it’s right and soemtkwms it’s so far off it’s kinda funny

pearl idol
#

yeah I've seen it doing some crazy mistakes

half ingot
#

Yea it seemed accurate like it knew what it was doing but I was iffy

pearl idol
#

like doing basic arithmetic wrong

half ingot
half ingot
#

Better than goofy ai and ones and zeros

#

Okay I gotta finished some computer science hw and then I’ll finish this question up and go sleep and brace myself for these little rascals

pearl idol
#

haha good luck

half ingot
#

#

use similar triangles

prime salmon
iron whale
#

oh sorry

#

i meant pythagorean theorem

#

similar triangles will not work here

prime salmon
#

I knew I needed pythagorean theorem but I do not know what to do

acoustic frost
#

look

#

you have the diameter

#

you can make an retangular triangle

prime salmon
#

how do I do that?

iron whale
#

use the radius to make a right triangle

acoustic frost
#

no

#

it's a property

#

of triangles into a circle

#

when the triangle cut the circle in the middle

#

the biggest angle is a right angle

prime salmon
#

oooooooooo

acoustic frost
#

and it's what the diameter will do

iron whale
#

i dont understand what property that is

#

with inscribed angles?

acoustic frost
#

sorry for the english, i'm brazilliam and don't know too much

prime salmon
#

so like this

acoustic frost
#

no

iron whale
acoustic frost
#

i think other way

prime salmon
#

no cuz

iron whale
#

@acoustic frost are you thinking of this theorem?

prime salmon
#

after I find x, I subtract it by 6.5

acoustic frost
#

make a triangle

iron whale
#

thats what i would do here

acoustic frost
#

using a side ike 6 and the other like 13

#

using the diameter

prime salmon
#

guys

acoustic frost
#

oh

prime salmon
#

my method was right

#

I got the answer

acoustic frost
#

i understanded

prime salmon
#

its 0.7

acoustic frost
#

yes

prime salmon
#

thanks

acoustic frost
#

it's right

iron whale
#

dont forget the hundredths place

prime salmon
#

0.73

#

this

#

this question uses the same idea right

iron whale
#

yes

#

same soncept

prime salmon
#

ok ill try

#

i got it right :>

The central span of the Golden Gate Bridge has 84 pairs of equally spaced vertical suspenders that connect the bridge to the main cables.

The function, f(x), roughly approximates the curve of the main cables. Hence determine the total length of the vertical suspenders that connect the bridge to a suspension cable in the central span of the Golden Gate Bridge.

sly fiber
#

im gonna keep it real, im not too sure what to do

#

could summation be used here?

#

but i dont know how to take the equally spaced intervals into account

fringe onyx
#

yeah I think it is just going to be the sum of the f(x) evaluated at the position of the 84 suspenders

#

you can simplify it a bit using the fact that f(x) is even

#

the exponentials are just a cosh

fringe onyx
#

since they come in pairs

sly fiber

i cant take it anymore

Hello

midnight plankBOT
glad merlin
#

when writing formal proofs where i want to assume a lot of things from the start, what is the best way to go about that

#

like here, i am kinda repeating the word 'lets'

#

would i have to keep on using these connecting words such as 'additionally', 'similarly' or is this all just nuances and nobody cares

midnight plankBOT
#

@glad merlin Has your question been resolved?

glad merlin
#

<@&286206848099549185>

jagged saffron
#

Primarily nuances and no one really cares. But also you can just drop superfluous language like "additionally" if you want. And if you don't want to use "let" again that second sentence could just read "We represent these elements...".

#

But again I don't think people overly care, these are words they gloss over and barely notice

#

Unless you have something wild like 20 sentences in a row that start with "Let us"

glad merlin
#

lmao

#

yeah

#

i just have like threeish sentences

#

im a first year so hopefully they will be nice
