that will prove they are subsets of one another once you prove it
so
you pick x from Ai
and you show it's in both
how do we write the math proof for that
$x\in A_i \implies x \in A_j$
(why am i here )= idk
yes that's the mathematical statement we gotta show
as $x\in A_i \cap A_j$
(why am i here )= idk
$x \in A_j$
(why am i here )= idk
why
Because of this
That's true as it's given
where?
it's given x in Ai
that's how we chose x
and how do we proceed?
we have to show it's in $A_j$
(why am i here )= idk
We know that $x \in \bigcup$
(why am i here )= idk
yep
and that $\bigcup = \bigcap$
(why am i here )= idk
so $x \in A_j$
(why am i here )= idk
Because x in bigcap
yeah
we can't miss any step
so recapping the steps
x in Ai
so x in bigcup
so x in bigcap
so x in Aj
and now we select an arbitrary member form $A_j$ and repeat the same process
(why am i here )= idk
great
That is sufficient to prove that they are equal , I think
can you see why if any of those steps are missing there's no "continuity" in your argument
yes, you have shown Ai = Aj
for arbitrary i,j
so it's the case for all i,j
oh and by the way
Ai = ?
An arbitrary indexed set?
S?
the bigcap = bigcup you defined
you wrote it as S
well each Ai is equal to bigcap = bigcup

Since x was arbitrary here its true for all x in Ai, hence Ai subseteq Aj

I mean, yes, but you didn't use the condition that a^2+b^2+c^2 at all here
But we need maximum
It is minima
@zealous schooner
ab+bc+ca<= (a^2+b^2+c^2)(a^2+b^2+c^2)
So it will be 1?
When do you have equality in catchy Schwarz inequality?
All are same?
Well for this case that's what it comes out to be, but no that's not the equality condition in general
You actually need $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{b}{c}=\frac{c}{a}$
kheerii
The ratio of the terms has to be the same
I didn't get it
Also there should be a modulus in this one on the left
Please explain if something missed
Never saw it but thanks sir
So how should i use?
ab=bc=ca?
The Cauchy Schwarz inequality states that $$\left(\sum_{i=1}^nu_iv_i\right)^2\le\left(\sum_{i=1}^nu_i^2\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^nv_i^2\right)$$ with equality iff. $$\frac{u_1}{v_1}=\frac{u_2}{v_2}=...=\frac{u_n}{v_n}$$
3ab<=1
ab<=1/3?
kheerii
ac=b^2, ab=c^2,bc=a^2
Sure
sure but ab+bc+ca <= modulus(...)
So see what abc comes out to be from each of the equalities
multiply the first one with b, second with c and third with a
abc=a^2=b^2==c^2
abc=a^3=b^3=c^3
Ohh i see
You essentially just want to prove that ab+bc+ca=1 is actually attainable for some value of a, b and c
We have proved using cauchy Schwarz that ab+bc+ca <= 1 is an upper bound
Bro i am asking you the upper bound is wrong or not?
I did not want to be prove actually
Did I apply cauchy Schwarz correctely?
The upper bound is correct, but you technically can't state that the maximum value of ab+bc+ca is 1 until you show that ab+bc+ca actually TAKES the value 1 at suitable values of a, b and c
Yes
I can say that 2 <= 3, but this doesn't mean that the maximum value of 2 is 3
If that makes sense
Ohh i see
Or a better example, -x^2 <= 1 is true for all real x, but the maximum value of -x^2 is not 1
but i use cauchy blindly
Using cauchy isn't wrong
And 1 does end up being the maximum value of that sum
But you need to show that that equality condition for the cauchy Schwarz inequality actually applies

having trouble with finding the invertible matrix
i'm pretty sure the two diagonal matrices are the same because the eigenvalues are the same
but when i find the eigenvectors of A and combine them to get P matrix to find the invertible matrice, when I test it by doing AP = PB, I don't get the same matrix
The invertible matrix I currently found I got through combining the eigenvectors of the matrix A
i'm going to do a different problem for now so i might not respond quickly, any help is appreciated
@fish you ok bro?
i'm thinking
$A=P_1DP_1^{-1}$, $B=P_2DP_2^{-1}$, $D=P_2^{-1}BP_2$, $A=P_1P_2^{-1}BP_2P_1^{-1}$, $(P_1P_2^{-1})^{-1}=P_2P_1^{-1}$ i guess find $P_1$, the eigenvector matrix for A and $P_2^{-1}$, then inverse of the eigenvector matrix of B ) and $P_1P_2^{-1}$ is the matrix
i think this will work?
fish
I changed it a little bit to D = P_1^(-1)AP_1 because thats what the problem statement is asking
so then P_1P_2^(-1) would be the matrix
so the same thing
i forgot how to do diagonalization, but i verified that this works
so yeah, P_1P_2^{-1} is the matrix
but make sure the eigenvalues are in the correct order, so $A=\begin{pmatrix}v_1&v_2&v_3\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\lambda_1& 0& 0\0 & \lambda_2 &0 \ 0& 0& \lambda_3 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}v_1&v_2&v_3\end{pmatrix}^{-1}$ and similarly for B
fish
yeah i tried to match the order of the eigenvalues when finding the eigenvectors
like i matched the vectors for 3, -3, 1 to 3, -3, 1
the matrix test works out AP = PB
i think i have the diagonal matrices correct
I just found the eigenvalues for the second matrix and just rearranged them in the same order as the eigenvalues for first matrix
I hope the grader likes this 🙏
cool! thanks for your help!

If B was a proper subset of A, would it mean P(B) < P(A)?
I think it does but I don't know how I'd write it down mathily
Do I say A = B u C where C = A \ B
What do you mean by P(B) < P(A)?
I think that's correct
A sort of proof?
Try to write P(B) in terms of A
What if A is some event that can happen and has 0 probability? Then there could be some subset B, whose probability is not strictly smaller than the one of A.
(In case that what i said is complete bullshit, just tell me it's wrong. I know almost nothing about this field)
I could just do it by listing out the elements right
I think if that was the case then you already disregarded B ⊂ A
$B = {b_1, b_2 \cdots c_1, c_2, \cdots }$ and $C = {c_1, c_2, \cdots }$
jewels!
So P(C) = n/|S| and P(B) = (m + n)/|S|
Well, thank you both for your help :P

true
take [0, 1] as a sample space with a lebesque measure and you have that P({0}) = 0
P({0,1/2,1}) would be also 0, right?
yeah every finite set
okay
that would mean that
if B = {0} A = {0,1/2,1}
then B is a subset of A and P(A) = P(B)
which clearly violates it
this whole thing only works with subset/equal and less/equal
That's what i thought, or limited to finite sample space possibly
if thats the right word
i think not even finite always works
if we take omega = {a, b} with P({a}) = 0 and P({b}) = 1
oh, right
if every point has a positive probability then yeah
@pure wraith if you want to take that into consideration
Can you elaborate on this
Forget about the continuous case, this is purely discrete
in general if an element exists such that {x} has 0 probability, then this is wrong
as P({x}) = P({})
is this right?

Q11
@twilit field Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
N, do you want me to elaborate on that or no?
@twilit field Has your question been resolved?
OK. Could I have a hint , please?
I think de-constructing the defn might help me
A is an element of the set wherein X is an element of the powerset of naturals, wherein the cardinality of X^c is finite
I don't suppose it is simpy P
where P means $A \in {X \in \mathcal{P}(N) | |x^C| < \infty}$
(why am i here )= idk
<@&286206848099549185>
you need to write 11) as the connection between 2 statements?
so we need to write it as P (something) Q?
Maybe
where we define P and Q to be some statements?
yup
okay.
well, there's two things going on here
I was thinking P could mean x\in {X \in P(N)}
A is an element of this set, and every element in that set satisfies some condition
that's all 11 is saying, really
$A \in {X\in P(\N)}$
(why am i here )= idk
right, that's better
pretty much, in my eyes
or rather, hmm
this isn't quite it
so $P \land Q$
(why am i here )= idk
this is right, but quite redundant
saying that "A is an element of the set of all elements in the power set of N" can be shortened to "A is an element of the power set of N", if I am not mistaken
the "set of all elements in the power set of N" is just the power set of N, is it not?
Yes
right, so you can simplify this
(this is kinda a dumb exercise in my opinion considering it's already in formal notation)
I agree
I actually hate these kinds of exercises 
at least I am getting review through wai

this is the concept of a "vacuous truth" 
I'm trying to think of an intuitive way to explain it, because this is smth I struggled with myself for a while 
okay, let's make it more colourful

then the implication is TRUE
hmm, cloud is here so I don't know if I should do this rn 
okay let's just do it anyways
"if I get banned from mathcord, then the world will explode"
P -> Q
I want you to consider the situations where I am lying to you
if I get banned from mathcord, and the world blows up, then you would agree that my statement was true
P implied Q, and all is well
yes
if I get banned from mathcord, and the world doesn't explode, I am a liar
so the implication is false
Yeah, I understand it using an example
now, what if I don't get banned?
It is just a definition btw, this convention is called "material implication". There are other ones, but this one is the most useful for math.
But formally, how would i justify it
Aah,okie!
Eric is correct
Thanks!
Why don't books mention that?

Not very canadian of you/j
Depends on which book
anyways, if I don't get banned, and the world exploded anyways, I am not a liar still
This is book of proofs by hammack
Getting into a philosophical discussion into the correct nature of implication is a bit of a digression from doing math tho
because I didn't say anything about what would happen if I wasn't banned
Math is just applied philiosophy though /j
likewise, if I didn't get banned and the world didn't explode, then I wasn't a liar either
Yeah, got it!
I lied to you if and only if I was banned and the world stayed intact 

on the flip side, I propose banning @tribal temple to see if the world will explode upon their expulsion

Can anyone tell me the logic behind limit as a sum
How they convert limit to integration?
In the branch of mathematics known as real analysis, the Riemann integral, created by Bernhard Riemann, was the first rigorous definition of the integral of a function on an interval. It was presented to the faculty at the University of Göttingen in 1854, but not published in a journal until 1868. For many functions and practical applications, ...

[a,b] is an interval
D is the operation of differentiation:
D:C^{k+1}[a,b] -> C^k[a,b], Df(x)=f'(x)
J is the integration:
J:C^k[a,b] -> C^{k+1}[a,b], Jf(x)=\int^x_a f(y) dy
I see that DJf(x)=f(x) and JDf(x)=f(x)-f(a) but no idea on how to find the range of D and J
Also I found the null space of D and I: the set of all constant functions and set containing only zero function respectively, im not too sure if these are correct

are the equivalence class of mod 10 the same as the equivalence class of mod 7?
which one?
this
@tribal temple could you give me a "lower level" reasoning to this? other than mod 7 and mod 10 of a number clearly can be different?
Well, if you think about any of the equivalence classes, the ones mod 10 are basically multiples of 10 (maybe "shifted" a bit)
Whereas those mod 7 are multiples of 7, perhaps shifted
Not all multiples of 10 are multiples of 7, and vice versa, if that helps?
mmmmm i guess so, maybe my question was just stupid
thanks
It happens, we all have those questions sometimes 
what do you call mod 10?
is that an equivalence class?

Hi
do you know what a cyclic quadrilateral is?
i dont think so
it's a quadrilateral with all 4 vertices lying on the circle
oh
PQRS in this diagram is cyclic too
try to apply the property of opposite angles summing to 180 to find x
is angle Q and S = to 180?
angle P and R
yes
but i get 85 which is not in the options
how did you get 85?
did you add just 2x and 10?
this angle is x+ angle ORS
just x is angle QRO in quad OPQR not PQRS

how to solve (c)?
@subtle torrent You plug in x = 0.5, y = 0, and see if you get an equation in z which has a single solution.
Then, if so, you take the partial derivative in the usual way, and plug in the proper value for x and y (remembering to use the chain rule for z(x, y) where applicable.
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
Ok, so what is the value(s) of z here?
there're two possible values of z
Then is it a function?
yes..?
Vertical line test says?
vertical line test? here?
Yes
z(x, y) so your vertical line is parallel to the z axis (rather than the y axis, as you might be used to)
Alternatively and equivalently, a function needs to have a single output
Is there a single output to z(0.5, 1)?
(or is there two?)
2
Therefore...
the function doesnt exist
It's not a function. Yeah
It's so convenient when you don't have to do a bunch of extra work!

Multiply
Alr, what have you tried?
Don't know where to start
Ok
done ?
Yup
what u got
$2^192(2^8 -1)*31+2^n$
sun.flour
2^(192)**
itd okay u can write on papaer if u have
simplify 2^8 -1
Using a²-b² identity??
2^192 x 255 x 31
Ohh ya
255= 3517
How?
Look at the original question closely
the number that hould be multiplied with this to make it a perfect square is
3 x 5 x 17 x31
so the number becomes
2^192 x 3 x 3 x 17x17 x31 x 31
Where do +2^n goes??
……
subtract old No. from new number
Didn't get it
(2^192 x a^2 ) - (2^192 x a)
2^192a(a-1)
thats ur difference
idk how to evaluate further
Yes pls
You both are free
ok
No, I’m referring to her result lol
oh shit
That’s all I wanted to say lol
Where did 2^192 goes??
But both of you just ignored me 😭
Pls explain
2^192a(a-1) , how do we evaluate this further
I was waiting for you to correct
WHY DINT U CORRECT URSELF
SMART AHH MOFO
Stop…. You could get banned for this
Ofc I didn't knew what was wrong
It’s ok
i just talk to the homies like that
Anyways, proceed
...

Looks good
Do you have any idea from here?
It’s better that you come up with the final solution yourself
Have you gotten the solution?
It’s only one step far from the answer

So I have a set of points and another set of points. All numbers are real and finite. This is in 3d. Trying to sort so that intersect parts of shapes in a 2d view plane by a view point are z then distance sorted. Z buffer does not handle transparency well and I was thinking just if overall intersect was closer like whole shape closer. Yes partly inaccurate. If I am doing all wrong tell me. How to do this? If you can recommend a reusable or small resource usage solution would be great. All shapes are planar and not self intersecting. I can find whole centroid of shapes. X E.
Feel free to ask if I should clarify. X E.
Sorry this is complex math stuff. X E.
I can get rectangle common to both polygons in 2d. I just can't find parts of polygons in them. X E.
Anyone know what this is called so I can look it up?
Oh and sorry about this, <@&286206848099549185>, anyone?
Should I give out like my email? I feel like a partner might help at this point. X E.
Making a 3d math programming library. X E.
P.S. X E is in like my bio. X E.
And hey, if I have centroid XYZ, is that centroid distance if I get distance from view point?
And again no one answers, <@&286206848099549185> should I stop?
only ping helpers once please
Okay, I am new, sorry. X E.
Anyway z buffer I am finding won't work entirely, I need like my transparency. X E.
If that is your opinion of a z buffer almost what do I got to lose with like my inside polygon area algorithm?
but if you search for alpha-blending, you should be able to come up with some workable tutorials that walk you through it
"Alpha compositing" is like my first result and not seeing much tutorials. X E.
Great, another thing I can't do without direct access to screen. X E.
There is a mathematical way to do it, it would take longer than gamers are willing to wait though. X E.
Good tip to only ping once. X E.
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
Oops, did not see that. Sorry everyone else. X E.
Just so I am not missing anything, where is that rule?
I've never implemented one of these before
but perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-buffer
In computer graphics, A-buffer, also known as anti-aliased, area-averaged or accumulation buffer, is a general hidden surface mechanism suited to medium scale virtual memory computers. It resolves visibility among an arbitrary collection of opaque, transparent, and intersecting objects. Using an easy to compute Fourier window (box filter), it in...
Okay, I guess I forgot that one, I just read other stuff, why I never did this before I guess. X E.
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/964965.808585 <- pdf warning, description of the A-buffer algorithm
opengl supports it natively
Okay saw all that, if you ever find code to study/use would be good, I understand almost all. X E.
I guess really how to measure all parts of polygon in that rectangle and I should be good. Like min and max x at min and max y and how to determine whether between a part of a polygon too? I have that implemented except that between parts of polygon outside rectangle part and I think I can do that. Based on what I know this might actually be a good algorithm. X E.
I guess find x and y intercepts for other side once I have those mins and maxes at mins and maxes? I guess I really should just implement like my own algorithm but I don't think current stuff allows good testing. I just have triangles, quads, and lines. X E.
Well this and a cutter, I should be good with that. X E.

Ive been tasked to "Rationalize the denominator or numerator", but I don't see what this question wants me to do. Any ideas?
It's written exactly like this with the terrible formatting
Can you take a picture of the question?
The only thing you can do there is add up into a single fraction and factor (unless i am missing something)
They managed to use for 62 and 63 normal lines
but at 64 this is where they drew the line
64 is actually where they didnt draw the line
you didnt get the joke lol
There is nothing to do in that exercise

Firstly, note that this simply can't have positive roots. So we are trying to find the smallest root essentially. As a gets larger, we are adding a non-negative number to the polynomial, which (because of the shape of the graph) implies that the smallest root gets smaller. So we want a to be the largest possible, which is 1. So now we have x^3 + x^2 + bx + c. Observe that by setting b = c, we get a root -1. For a fixed b, c = b is also the largest value of c we can possibly get. And the smaller value of c gets, the larger the root gets. (Again, imagine the graph shifting down). This means that x^3 + x^2 + bx + c where b = c is the optimal solution

@drifting root Has your question been resolved?
you did the identification of only the x³ terms and the constant terms, right?
okok
its important to gather/use all the possible information
they are there for a reason
exactly
so do i even need to do the constant term one or can i just do this straight away
haha, you see, after all the best selection would have been the x³ and the x terms 😛

What interest rate would you need to double your money in 10 years?
I just did 2^0.1 = 1.07177 = 7.177% yearly interest rate but I didn't use logarithms so I feel like there is something wrong.
No, that's correct.
oh ok
then why do people use the rule of 72 to solve it, and I think rule of 72 requires logarithms to derive?
That's just an estimation but it's the exact same thing as what is generally done.
You'll want 7 percent interest.
$$ 1 * (1+x)^{10} = 2 \implies x = 1 - \sqrt[10]{2} = 0.07177... $$
You have this:
$$ A/P = \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^{t}$$
Since you want it to be doubled, A/P = 2
then you take logarithm to get an estimation for t in terms of r.
So, taking logarithm on both sides,
$$\ln(2) = t \cdot \ln\left[ \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)\right] $$
Which gives,
$$ t = \frac{\ln(2)}{\ln\left[ \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)\right]} \approx \frac{72}{r}$$
I hope that works. Lol.
Shuba
To understand approximation at the end, you will need to know expansion of ln(1+x).
Perfection. Nice.
@quaint field Has your question been resolved?
I think I am confused about what interest rate actually is
does a 7% yearly interest rate mean that if I invest $100, I will get $107 after a year?
or is it slightly higher because my money is growing continuously instead of jumping by 7% at the end of the year
could be either
@quaint field Has your question been resolved?
@quaint field Has your question been resolved?
@quaint field Has your question been resolved?
I think the interest rate is usually calculated with a specific period in mind. a yearly interest rate would get you interest over your money in a year while a monthly one would be over a month. your money wouldn't be increasing continuously it would be increasing every month for example.
in the real world you can ask what to use
i think that would be too generous xD
it really wouldn't if you choose k carefully
you can even choose negative k for lulz
Negative k would be a nice model for getting scammed
idk if you use exponentials tbh, you probably just do one month/year at a time
you use the (1+r)^t formula, where r is the yearly interest rate instead of the continuous interest rate
and to solve for t, you need to take the ln of both sides
so that's how you get the rule of 72 thing
but you can also solve for r in terms of t by using an exponential equation
but using 2 as the base
like what I did here
sure
and this is the other way to do it, which solves for t in terms of r
but for rule of 72, it's a recipricol relationship, so it doesn't matter which way you go about it
that's why it's so effective
the only issue is it's an approximation instead of exact

bro can yall help with this
cause diameter, you know b = 90
you can find the other angle from cyclic quad
then triangle sum
lmao
its a circle geometry proof
angles in a semicircle are 90degrees
but it should be mentioned

bro its not given its a semicircle, the questions vague af
AB passes O
Bro wait if AB diameter then how it equal DC
bro AB can be any chord
Any chord passing through center is diameter
i think its just saying that point is O, the lines too short
obviously assuming AB as the diameter is correct in this case but technically the stuff should be mentioned
bro you DONT know whether o is centre lmao
its criminal if its not the centre
fr
a+b=180-50
ye
Is AB =DC given?
nah see yourself
Well I'll give you tip
the question's kinda incorrect
In mcq if it looks like trapezium then it trapezium
yea the q is kinda stupid if you take it literally
its not parallel
ye but this one isnt
I did and got like 47/50
lmao
Depends on your grade ig
which exam? ur school exams?
It was earlier some test like IMO
ive seen so many question with points o that are not the centre
on a circle?
Daym
imo is fake as shit no offense
yes
damn

range = u^2 sin(2theta)/ g
are you stucK?
what do you need help with
Ok so confirmation
you're correct
no
Wait
oh yes you're correct
maybe try vertical range
nvm you'd still get the same r 1 = r2
The answer sheet is surely incorrec?
because 30 = 45 - 15 and 60 = 45 + 15

This is gonne be stupit question propably, but im doing some math homework right now and i came across multiplying 92 with 0.5 wich apperantly equals to 46. I dont understand how that works, because shouldnt multiplying make the number bigger instead of smaller? (Pls dont make fun of me, i am currently repeating 8th grade because of math
)
If you multiply by a number less than 1, you get a smaller number
What!? Why? How is that possible, you are still multiplying with something, how does that make it smaller?
Because multiplying is basically saying how many times something happened. Say 92 is how many kilometers you drive per hour. If you drive for one hour, then you've traveled 92 kilometers. But if you've driven for less than an hour, it stands to reason you've traveled less than 92 kilometers
Oohh i think i might get it, so if you multiply 92 with 1, you are essentialy repeating 1 92times or the other way around, if its less then one, you are repeating less of it
Thank you!

When you say the function is multiplied by -3 and you say "which means it is decreasing"
isn't that unnecessary to point out
and maybe not entirely correct since you already determined it was decreasing because of the base being <1
So then how should I rephrase it?
I just thought your first statement was fine on its own
"Since 3/4 < 1 the term (3/4)^(5x+5) decreases as x increases."
I just felt it was unnecessary to add the following sentence but maybe it adds some more info I am not picking up on
Alright so leave it at that?
yeah unless you feel it is important to leave it in
*i could be wrong so dont just blindly take my word to leave it
sry let me keep reading
Sorry I can't help you to graph but that seems logical to me
Since the exponential is negative like you said
and the base would otherwise be decreasing since it is less than 1
the negative sign would just mean you start dividing a division
it would effectively increase
Okay I’ll reword
I’m just doing an practice assignment my teacher gave me
you might want to double check with a different helper to make sure, im sure if you ping another one more well-versed with domains will respond. i still think your logic about the function increasing is sound

is this correct?
can be further simplified, let me add a photo

so if i understand correctly, the answer is : ln(4)+ ln (x)- (ln(x-4)+ln(x+4))/(2)
yes correct
ok, i will try it
i only get 2 attempts
it was correct! Thanks
