Sort of like pinning it on X then rotating it a bit

#

Which side would coincide with DF?

echo zodiac
#

i cant understand the rotating stuff

eager fjord
#

CB..?

subtle blaze
#

Yup

#

And in terms of the congruency notches

eager fjord
#

yea it lines up

subtle blaze
#

They both have 3 notches

eager fjord
#

so its 3.6?

subtle blaze
#

So those are the “equal length” line segments in the diagram

#

Yep

echo zodiac
#

wait

subtle blaze
#

3.6

eager fjord
#

rigt

#

wait

#

bruh that was ... not hard lol

echo zodiac
#

im dumb they both are congruent

#

by SSS

#

i thought it was

#

tough

eager fjord
#

i forgot all that SSS SSA stuff a whole ago

#

while

subtle blaze
#

Nope it’s not hard just gotta read it through and process what the problem is!

eager fjord

or SSS

#

FOR SURE

test

#

and i was able to solve difficult

problem

#

ezly

glossy ibex
#

Blud got the Einstein myth type marks

eager fjord
#

yea

#

ask her if the unit circle is path connected

#

shell be impressed

glossy ibex

we study that

eager fjord

really?

#

thats shocking

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

wanton juniper
#

this is the anwser key I dont get how they got anwsers

unreal light
#

angle AOB = 60 means triangle AOB is equilateral

#

Since AO = OB (radii)

so the opposite is same?

wanton juniper
unreal light
#

BOC is a right isosceles triangle at O

wanton juniper
#

yes and BO is congruent to OC

unreal light
#

Use Pythagoras to find expression for BC

wanton juniper
unreal light
#

Yes

wanton juniper
#

How do we know what OC is?

unreal light
#

AO = BO = CO = DO = 6

#

It's a circle bro

wanton juniper
#

I see

#

I get it

hexed harness
hexed harness
# hexed harness

Since we see all angles are same , so this is equilateral triangle, and length of AB is 6

wanton juniper

since its a circle al radius = lenth

midnight plankBOT
slow moon
#

help me for this please

#

like step for step

#

so far i’m here

#

i found the partial dericitives

#

i need to confirm if they are right

tribal tartan
#

looks good

slow moon
#

okay now imma try to find

#

lamda

#

now to neutralize?

tribal tartan
#

looks right

#

prob use the constraint now

#

solve for either x or y in terms of the other

slow moon
#

like sub it in that one?

tribal tartan
#

yeah thats the same thing

#

you're using the lagragian function

#

the partial wrt to lambda is the same as the constraint

slow moon
#

oh okay, usually what is easier?

tribal tartan
#

theyre the same thing

#

the lagragian is a function thats specifically set up to contain all the information from lagrange multipliers

#

it just makes it easier to put into a computer

#

telling it to take the gradient and set it equal to the 0 vector

slow moon
#

oh okay

#

so i subbed it on

#

does this seem right

tribal tartan
#

the negative is outside the parenthesis

slow moon
#

oh

#

so it’s y= add or subtract 1/738

#

?

tribal tartan
#

yeah with the square root

grand pondBOT
slow moon
#

yass

#

okie i got it right

slow moon
midnight plankBOT
slow moon
#

this is where i am so far

#

is this correct so far

tribal tartan
#

mhm

#

simplify a bit then it should be pretty obvious where to go from there

slow moon
#

i’m ngl i have no idea how to equalize

#

what’s the process?

tribal tartan
#

we have $3xy^9=9y^7x^3$

grand pondBOT
tribal tartan
#

we can cancel out an x and a y^7 on both sides

slow moon
#

yeah

tribal tartan
#

so we'll have 3y^2=9x^2

slow moon
#

ohhh

tribal tartan
#

yeah and now you can use the constraint or partial wrt lambda

#

to solve for one of the variables

slow moon
tribal tartan
#

mhm

#

well maybe dividing out the 3

#

so like y^2=3x^2

#

you can sub that into the constraint

slow moon
#

like this?

tribal tartan
#

you forgot the 9 on the right hand side

tribal tartan
tribal tartan
slow moon
tribal tartan
#

works too

slow moon
#

leading to this?

tribal tartan
#

uhh no need for that

slow moon
#

oh ok

tribal tartan
#

remember that the constraint is x^2+y^2=1

#

you have y^2 in terms of x so

#

or x^2 in terms of y

slow moon
#

oh right

#

got this for y

grand pondBOT
slow moon
#

yeah

grand pondBOT
tribal tartan
#

and multiply by 3/4

grand pondBOT
slow moon
#

would this be right

#

i just kept going idk

tribal tartan
#

yeah y^2=3/4 and x^2=1/4

#

so you would have 4 solutions

#

since you can vary them

slow moon
#

we need f max

#

would this mean subbing in c^3y^9

tribal tartan
#

yeah so you would just test each point we got

#

until you find the one that gives you the maximum for f

#

if they all give you the same value, which it shouldn’t, you would have to pick some random point and compare it to our critical points

slow moon
#

like this?

#

and plug the posative in x^3y^9?

tribal tartan
#

okay so the 0.25 is x^2 not x

#

the 0.75 is also y^2 not y

slow moon
#

yeah

#

this is where i’m stifling

tribal tartan
#

so we would have $x=\pm\frac12$ and $y=\pm\sqrt{\frac34}$

grand pondBOT
tribal tartan
#

you plugged in 0.25 for x

#

plug these in instead

#

see how we have 4 possible points

#

we can have 1/2 and sqrt(3/4)

#

-1/2 and sqrt(3/4)

#

1/2 and -sqrt(3/4)

slow moon
tribal tartan
#

and -1/2 and -sqrt(3/4)

#

yes

#

plug all the points i just listed into that

slow moon
#

like this?

tribal tartan
#

yep

slow moon
#

got this

#

would that be the awnser

tribal tartan
#

well we have to test all the other points too

slow moon
#

oh

#

damn

tribal tartan
#

$(\frac12,\sqrt{\frac34}),(-\frac12,\sqrt{\frac34}),(\frac12,-\sqrt{\frac34}),(-\frac12,-\sqrt{\frac34})$

grand pondBOT
tribal tartan
#

yeah all of those

slow moon
#

and then find the highest?

tribal tartan
#

mhm

#

that should be the max

#

tho these aren’t the only solutions actually

#

there are 4 others

#

but those will be 0 when we plug it into f

#

so we can ignore it since we aren’t looking for the min (those aren’t mins either actually)

slow moon
#

i think

#

like i just did it all

#

on photomath

#

the highest is 0.03425

#

and the lowest is the negative version of that

tribal tartan
#

alright that’ll be it then

#

that’s rounded i assume

#

since it should be irrational i’m pretty sure

slow moon
#

yass it’s correct

does 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4 remind you of something?

No

what if I say the word geometric

lofty beacon
#

No ideas

runic hamlet
#

you havent heard of the geometric sum or geometric series?

lofty beacon
#

No

#

And how can this help to find complex roots?

runic hamlet
#

because it gives you a formula thats easier to work with

#

1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4=(x^5-1)/(x-1)

lofty beacon
#

Then the roots will be at the vertices of a regular 5-gon

elfin fox
#

Why does multiplying a matrix by an elementary matrix have the same effect as applying an elementary row operation onto the matrix?

elfin fox
#

I am looking for some intuition as to why this is true, rather than a proof.

runic hamlet
#

well just do the multiplication and see what effect it has on the entries of the result

subtle blaze
#

Because the act of “applying an elementary row operation” is actually just multiplying by a elementary matrix

echo wharf

I don't know if i can help any more than what has been stated but it might be worth thinking.
Suppose f(A) is some function f on matrix A.
Then, consider if f can be represented by some matrix B such that either f(A) is AB or BA.
Then, consider what function g which you can do to A such that there is no B such that g(A) is AB or BA.

Hints please

bold beacon
#

What is lim x->infinity x/(1+x)? different question but same idea

#

You can use a similar trick

bleak pier
#

Infinity/infinity

1/1

#

=1

#

@bold beacon

bold beacon
#

yep

bleak pier
#

1+1+1+1+.... divergent

bold beacon
#

yep

bleak pier
#

How did you find this example?

#

I meant what comes to mind

#

Can there be any other examples too?

bold beacon
#

When I heard the word divergent I was thinking something tending to infinity although that is not necessary

#

What about 1) does remind you of anything?

bleak pier
#

i am checking

#

n/(1+n+n^2)

by taking common n^2 demoninator

1/n...which is divergent

bold beacon
#

I was not thinking about that. If you divide by a_n you get sigma 1/(1/a_n +n). But this is just a shifted harmonic series

#

A harmonic series is always divergent

#

I am not 100% sure about my calculations. Will need to think about it

bleak pier
bleak pier
#

Let me check second one

#

B will be convergent

#

1/n^2

#

By p test

#

sounds correct

manic bison
#

it seems simple but idk what to do

unreal fjord
#

Is R_f a range of that y?

manic bison
#

yea

unreal fjord
#

Ok... let's say we are working with real number, what is range of sqrt(x)?

manic bison
#

non negative numbers?

unreal fjord
#

yes

#

what about the range of sin(x)?

manic bison
#

from-1 to 1

unreal fjord
#

Now, think about it for a second. If I know that my x is between [-1,1] from the range of sin(x)... then what will be my range of sqrt(sin(x))?

#

or let say t = sin(x), what is the range of sqrt(t)

manic bison
#

uhhh

unreal fjord
#

but we know that t can only be in -1 to 1

manic bison
#

it will have some complex numbers ig

manic bison
unreal fjord
#

so let's ignore things that is complex for now

#

let say we are dealing with real number

manic bison
#

yea

#

wait so

#

0 to 1?

unreal fjord
#

yes

manic bison
#

what about sin

#

(root x)

unreal fjord
#

same idea but now your input to sin(x) is from [0,inf)

#

(non-negative)

manic bison
#

still -1 to 1 right?

unreal fjord

yes

<@&286206848099549185> can anyone pls explain to me when exactly we use a negative binomial distribution? It's very confusing for me.

robust sphinx
#

You flip a coin until heads appears k times

#

Crazy

#

I was literally reading about negative binomial 5 seconds ago

raven abyss

Woahh

quaint whale
#

It gives us the probability of getting head k times, am I correct??

#

Or tails

#

Is it?

robust sphinx
#

Wait excuse me

#

let me type the formula

#

So

quaint whale
#

Okay

robust sphinx
#

P( X = K ) = (K-1) choose (n-1) * p^n * (1-p)^(k-n)

#

In the case of fliping coins p = 1/2

#

so similarly 1 - p is also 1/2

quaint whale
#

What does X= k random variable refer to?

#

I'm confused on that

grim vector
#

X= k is the probability that X = k, in binomial distribution

robust sphinx
#

The probability that it happends K times

quaint whale
#

What does 'it' means here?

grim vector
#

X is the random variable not k

robust sphinx
#

it means your random event

#

and p is its probability of happening once

#

You redo this event many times

polar mortar
#

in a binomial ditribution the random variable represents the number of 'successful' trials in a fixed number of tests.
negative binomial the random variable represents the number of tests needed to get a fixed number of 'successful' trials

quaint whale
#

So basically if we consider the case of a coin flip, X represents the no. of times a head occurs, right?

quaint whale
quaint whale
#

That definition does not match with the one Chris gave me

#

I'm so confused

robust sphinx
#

Where does it not match?

quaint whale
robust sphinx
#

oh mb I think I misworded that

#

that might cause confusion

quaint whale
# robust sphinx Where does it not match?

You said that it gives the probability that it occurs K times. The other person said that it gives us the probability that our preferred outcome is true after k number of times

quaint whale
robust sphinx
#

Whenever you heard the word negative in the name of a distribution

#

It means that it talks about the version of that distribution up until that number of times it happens

robust sphinx
#

That's all i can help with. I am not the best with probability

quaint whale

bleak pier
#

In this question 14 my guess is A and B both incorrect

bleak pier
#

Reason is because U,V are linearly independent but U+V will be linearly dependent

nova yoke
#

what was your reasoning for A

bleak pier
#

Opps they are saying u+v and u-v

#

Yes true they will be linearly independent

#

Option B left only

#

I didn't read clearly option A

nova yoke
bleak pier
#

Yeah

#

2x+y=0
2x+3y=0

4x+4y=0

Now vector first and third are linearly dependent

nova yoke
#

sure

#

how do you relate that to A (or B)

Linearly independent

How do I prove this?

I saw similar variant online

#

But I'm not too sure if the question is right

#

Can someone verify?

#

First direct thought is just to test some values to check if you’re unsure

#

Also so according to proof wiki, they’re claiming then that

cosA + cosB + cosC = -cosA + cosB -cosC

vernal jungle
midnight plankBOT
vernal jungle
#

how do i get the answer? and does anyone know the faster way of doing this? no 14

#

the most that i can come up with is to try to “reconvert” them

#

4:3 -> 16:12 for example

vernal jungle
# vernal jungle

4:3 ratio —> 24:16 ft

with the area of 24 ft; its base is 3 ft

16 ft area; 4/3 ft base

atomic plume
#

What is going on

vernal jungle
gray prism
#

bh/b'h' = 4/3, h/h' = 3/4 => b/b' = 16/9 smth like this?

vernal jungle
#

With the area of 2 triangles at a ratio of 4:3; its heights are in the ratio of 3:4

#

what is it’s base

vernal jungle
gray prism
#

h/h' * b/b' = 4/3, so b/b' must be 4/3 / (h/h') = 4/3 / (3/4) = 16/9

vernal jungle
#

area of triangle is (bh)/2

gray prism
#

yeah but since you're working with ratios, that cancels out

#

$\frac{bh/2}{b'h'/2}=\frac{bh}{b'h'}$

grand pondBOT
#

π=√g

vernal jungle
gray prism
# grand pond **π=√g**

like that, you can always simplify fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number (in this case multiply by 2)

vernal jungle
#

$\frac{\frac{bh(b’h’)}{2}}{\frac{b’h(bh)}{2}}$

grand pondBOT
#

Maladroit

vernal jungle
gray prism
#

I dont think so

#

How do you simplify the fraction $16/10$?

grand pondBOT
#

π=√g

vernal jungle
#

8/5

gray prism
#

Ok, so in this case, $\frac{bh}{2}$ and $\frac{b'h'}{2}$ have a common factor of $\frac12$, so their ratio simplifies as $$\frac{\frac{bh}{2}}{\frac{b'h'}{2}} = \frac{bh}{b'h'}$$

red sparrow

red sparrow
#

hello, can somebody please help me understand (second paragraph) why the fact that A isn't bounded implies that the sequence (x_n) cannot have a convergent subsequence?

#

also, how can we assume that there exists a convergent sequence in A in the first place? (first line)

junior flower
#

every subsequence of (x_n) is not bounded

junior flower
#

if A is empty then there are no sequences at all, but that's fine

red sparrow
#

correct?

junior flower
#

well it's more than just that (x_n) isn't bounded

#

0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, ... isn't bounded but has a convergent subsequence

#

this property is important

red sparrow
#

A is unbounded, therefore for every n there exists some element x_n such that abs(x_n) >= n

#

how does this relate to sequences?

junior flower
#

(x_n) is not just an arbitrary sequence in A

junior flower
visual tiger
#

if x_n_j converged to some x, then ||x_n_j|| would converge to ||x||, but it diverges to infinity

I have tried setting $u=x+1$, and $u=x^{2}+2x-2$ to no avail. If I differentiate $(x^{2}+2x-2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ getting $\frac{x+1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+2x-2}}$ which seems to be along the right lines I'm just not too sure how they relate.

how do i solve dy/dx + (1/x)(tany) = (1/x^2)sinytany

gaunt nimbus
#

just

#

split the equation into terms of x and y

#

then integrate both sides

question: find det(A)

midnight plankBOT
spice scroll
#

solution:

#

let H_n = |A|

#

and then the solution (not in english) managed to find out:
$H_n = H_{n-1} - 6H_{n-2}$

#

what i DONT understand is they then proceeded to say "let:

#

and solved for lambda in order to represent H_n by n alone

#

why the use of lambda to the power of n all of a sudden?

#

thats a general approach to solve recurrences like this

visual tiger
#

depending on the roots of the equation r^2 = ar + b

#

if both roots are real and distinct:

#

if you have a single root:

#

if you have two complex conjugated roots re^(ialpha) and re^(-ialpha):

visual tiger
#

yes it's n-2

it's read right to left

#

you dont take this line literally, its a awy to convert Hn into the appropriate equation that we're mentioning above for r

youre asking a lot of questions for a method that doesnt need them, do you also want to ask for why the method works?

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

lambda is nonzero

#

anything to the zeroth power is 1

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

you can leave it as a "just works" method if you want

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

please

#

dont take this line literally

spice scroll
#

no explanation onto it

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

no youre not

#

Hn is not "literally lambda to the nth power"

#

that is a rule you use to write the characteristic equation

spice scroll
spice scroll
#

but i dont "agree" with it

twilit jetty
#

I dont either

#

now have you solved equations of the form y'' + ay' + by = 0 before

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

derivatives, not derivates

#

the ' symbol is "prime", it means "derivative of"

spice scroll
#

in general i havent done this in this class (linear algebra 1), and maybe not in high school either

#

but i can derivate twice and try if thats what you mean

twilit jetty
#

no

#

what do you think solving an equation like y'' + 3y' + 5y = 0 means?

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

thats a different usage of the prime symbol

#

for calculus, ' is used to mean "derivative of"

spice scroll
spice scroll
twilit jetty
spice scroll
#

we just started learning function in calc 1

twilit jetty
#

there are two separate definition for ' - your lecturer did not teach the calculus definition when they used A to A'

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

so somehow theres a function out there where y'' + 3y' + 5y would completely simplify to just 0

#

for a simpler example, think of y' = y

youll notice there that solution is a function of x instead of just a number

#

youre trying to find functions y(x) that can fit y' = y

#

this is called a "differential equation", they get hard quickly

#

y'' + 3y' + 5y = 0 is a differential equation with a standard method

spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

you only asked to plug in y to see that it makes it zero somewhere

#

thats what you mean by "plugging in x^2 and solving for it"

#

yes?

spice scroll
spice scroll
twilit jetty
#

we're not looking for a function that only fits y'' + 3y' + 5y = 0 some of the time

#

setting y = x^2 will mean y'' + 3y' + 5y = 0 will only be true for up to two values of x

#

thats not what we're looking for

#

we're solving for a kind of y that would fit y'' + 3y' + 5y = 0 every time
