so if i wasnt counting for it it wld be 5 x 4/2
if you just wanted 2 letters (without caring about order), then yes
if they said as a precondition, that A B is the same as B A then i would do 5 x 4 divided by 2
it would be 5 * 4 / 2
ah i see
im a bit confused how does 5 x 4 count for the double
AB and BA
There are 5 ways to choose a first letter. So we can choose A. Then there are 4 ways to choose the other letters, so we can choose B
So it counts AB
There are 5 ways to choose a first letter. So we can choose B. Then there are 4 ways to choose the other letters, so we can choose A
so it counts BA as well
_ _ _ _ _ so i can put A B C D E in the first _ and then in the next one i only have 4 options
ohh nice that was a good explanation
i can put any of the 5 letters in the first, any 4 in the second
nice thanks
indeed
then any 3 in third, any 2 in fourth and the last one goes to the fifth
so it would be 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
if you are choosing only 2 things, then yes
if you were choosing 3 things, you would have to divide by 6
this one is with order
and ncr is without order
that's when you are additionally dividing by r!
i alw get confused whats the diffewrence between without and with order
if it says order doesnt matter
AB = BA
?
yes
and we would count that with ncr
if order did matter, we use npr
so order doesnt matter we have fewer total combinations or more
than order does matter
did you mean "does matter"?
you said doesnt matter twice
there would be fewer
Order doesn't matter = NCR so n!/(n-r)!r! - we have fewer combinations as AB = BA
Order does matter = NPR so n!(n-r)! we have more combinations because AB and BA are distinct combinations
you could say it like that
yeah that makes sense cuz AB = BA we have to divide by the number of objects factorialed
cuz each time u add an object u add more repeats
yeah that makes sm sense
thanks

im not sure about how to begin
The key point here is getting the closest number of tickets per two day period (since tickets are saved for two days, and more tickets are worth less per ticket)
So for example, Monday and Tuesday are 12 tickets. The cheapest combination is a book of 8 tickets and a book of 4
Which costs $8.80
Wednesday and Thursday are 9, which can be 8 + 1 tickets
For a cost of 6.60
is it?
cuz
cant we buy 8 tickets on Monday, have 3 spares which we can use for Tuesday. Then we have 4 left to buy on tuesday. We can buy another 8 so we have 1 left on wednesday to buy. Then we can buy 4, 4 and 1 final on saturday
so B
i think its B
This is unrelated but why is your text like that
Didn’t mean to reply
Discord bug
thats what im saying
since you use your tickets every two days, then it's most efficient to calculate what the cheapest pairing of days is
as in
the ones that you can most easily split up into 8 or 6 or four tickets

yoo
ight we back
so the answer key is saying the domain is -infinity to 1
But how I don’t understand? does the graph not end at infinite too
the arrow on the end of the piece wise suggests that it extends infinitely
since the gradient is defined for the 2 piece wise that meet at x=1, it will continue extending infinitely towards the left side
hence domain of (-inf,1]
wait so since it’s two lines
you have to mark where it bounce
?
i’m so cooked

How do I evaluate this integral?
remember a^x = e^(x * ln(a))
Ah i never thought about that
wdym
deriving e^(x * ln(a)) gives you ln(a) * e^(x * ln(a))
and integrating e^(x * ln(a)) gives you 1/ln(a) * e^(x * ln(a))
scratch what i said
sorry lol did it wrong
I’m a little confused on the integrating e^(x*ln(a))
i thought the e would remain and i would divide it by its exponent +1
You can find it out by looking at the behavior of the derivative
deriving e^(a * x) always gives you a * e^(a * x)
which implies that integrating it instead divides by the factor a

Prove that the limit of x^3 at a is a^3
Veni, vidi, perii
so I can re-write (x^2+ax+a^2) as $(x+a)^2 -ax$

You could, if you wanted to 
Would that help?
It might (the idea I have is different, but I shall not spoil it for now
)
I think I'll try variations of f(x)=x^2 first
I don't think I fully understood that in the first place
let's say x^2+x insetad
I want to prove the limit is a^2+a
$|a^2+a| < \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
(I shall say that doing so would be very close to the proof of showing both x^2 and x have their limits, and "the limit of a sum is the sum of the limits"...)
Veni, vidi, perii
Also more that |(x^2 + x) - (a^2 + a)| < eps
I’m assuming you want to prove it via this epsilon delta definition
Otherwise you could just prove that all polynomials are continuous via proving that if f and g are continuous then so is fg (probably by sequential continuity)
And then that being continuous at a is basically just equivalent to having the limit exist at a
Ie lim x^3 = f(a) = a^3

Trying to find the limit of $x^2+x$ at any a \in \R

so I have to find a delta such that for any $\varepsilon$, there exists a $\delta$ st $|f(x)-L| < \varepsilon$,, there exits a $\delta $ st $|x-a| < \delta$
?
Veni, vidi, perii
indeed
so this gives me $|x-a||x+a+1| < \varepsilon$
Veni, vidi, perii
Veni, vidi, perii
do some scratch work first
ooh
usually, the way these go is to "know" what L is, assume the inequality |f(x) - L| < eps, and then find a delta by doing some algebra
Veni, vidi, perii
then you can start writing your proof
I'm a little confused by what you're doing 
I'm trying to find a < inequality involving |x+a+1|
I mean this gives me $|x-a| < \frac{\varepsilon}{|x+a+1|}$
Veni, vidi, perii
where did this come from? I'm just a little confused haha
Veni, vidi, perii
correct
Veni, vidi, perii
right, okay
Was thinking of writing |x+a+1| as |x-a+2a+1$
hm.. I can't exactly see where you're headed here 
you still need to find an explicit delta 
may I suggest doing the following?
turn $|x^2 + x - (a^2 - a)| < \varepsilon$ to $-\varepsilon < x^2 + x - (a^2 - a) < \varepsilon$
higher!
you can do this by the definition of the absolute value
okie
I think I have an idea

Veni, vidi, perii
why can we say that?
the product of two terms being less than a number does not mean each term is less than that number
indeed
I think, on seeing what I did for x^2, I have the right idea, but have to work on justifying this
so |x+a-(-1)|
wait, I also know that $|x+a+1| < \frac{\varepsilon}{|x-a|}$
Veni, vidi, perii
Veni, vidi, perii
Can I have a hint
or ykw
let's do something even simpler

Now?

Veni, vidi, perii
Veni, vidi, perii
now I want $|x+a+1|>1$say
Veni, vidi, perii
Veni, vidi, perii
Ask yourself exactly what you are trying to do here
You are trying to prove that the limit x->a x²+x = a²+a and in order to do that, it seems like you are using the epsilon delta definition of a limit
However you are not correctly using the epsilon delta definition, so write it out in its entirety on a piece of paper and keep it next to you
we need p!=x0 and |f(p)-L|
Okay, so you are given f, L and x_0 here. Your job is to find delta (for a given epsilon) such that for all points (not x_0) in a delta width neighbourhood of x_0 satsify |f(p)-L|< epsilon
@twilit field does this make sense?
yes
Okay, so for what delta will
|x²+x -(a²+a)|<epsilon for a given epsilon (keep in mind 0<|x-a|<delta)
And your delta must be in terms of epsilon , since you want that inequality to hold for all epsilon
so I was thinking of |x^2-a^2|+|x-a|
What do you plan to do next?
Try finding an upper bound for |x²-a²|+|x-a| in terms of delta and a, since then you can choose delta so that the upper bound is lesser than epsilon
|(x+a)(x-a)|+|x+a|$
Does this make sense?
so $|(x+a)||x-a+1|< \varepsilon$
Hmm, please recheck
Veni, vidi, perii
Okay, so you have simplified the expression
ooh
Now:
- does this make sense?
- if yes, try doing this
I know use that $|x-(a-1)|>|x|-|a-1|$
Veni, vidi, perii
Wouldnt it be better to split it as |x-a+1| \geq |x-a|+1
Because you know |x-a| < delta, you would have found an upper bound for the |x-a+1| factor (|| delta +1 is an upper bound||)
Now find an upper bound for the |x+a| factor (keep in mind the upper bound must be in terms of delta, a and other constants because only then can you control it to be as small as you like)

@sweet spire Has your question been resolved?
After playing around with this for a bit i think this question is a red herring
And in fact IH <= GH in any triangle
conjecture
how do I write this?
I suspect that this can be proven using copious amounts of vector algebra
it is enough to show that GH² - IH² >= 0
given positions of vertices as vectors you can get both GH² and IH² explicitly using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system and in the end you will get an expression in terms of side lengths that you need to show to be non-negative
which i would guess is possible
That said i don't recommend this method unless you wanna kill entire day expanding alebraic expression
But i also don't know a better method

if you know this you can just solve an inequality
its still not nice but simplify it and see if you can get somewhere

Can someone help me w this one?
Not sure if I even did the other questions right but I got the answer… all I did was (in previous questions) was to calculate what would make RHS turn into LHS
Wait gimme a sec
Not sure bc I can't do the calculation atm
But basically do the first line again
But don't move the numbers around
Just calculate the right side
Okay thank you! Lemme try that
Left side should be y
And then you're left with y = some fraction
Then add (or subtract) the appropriate fraction to get
y + (something) = 3/2
That something will be your horizontal translation
And of course you would represent that as a vector translation if that's what you've been taught
I see
Well
I got 37/10 this time
I think
I’ll be able to figure this out
Thanks!!

2f(x)f'(x)= (f(x))^2+(f'(x))^2 (after differentiating)
from the equation I can only understand that this type of function is impossiple. because if of the highest degree of lhs is x^(2n-1) then the highest degree of RHS will be x^2n which is contradictory
<@&286206848099549185>
Maybe devide by f(x)^2 (Assuming f ≠ 0)
Read #❓how-to-get-help
then?
I get y'=y^2/(2y-1)
Where do you get it from?
y= f(x) and y'=f'(x)
after simplifiyng
ok I made a mistake
is this e^x?
I get (f(x)-f'(x))^2=0
Yes, that's what I got, too
I didn't notice it makes a perfect square
this explains this also
I only thought of polynomials
Yes, you figured out that it can't be a polynomial. But ofc it doesn't have to be
I tried root(x), 1/x and other stuffs but didn't try exponential , logarithmic and trigonometric functions
Well done 👍 You almost solved it immediately on your own
yeah I mean it wasnt so hard after all
just wanted to ask, was there a way to obtain that e^x other than intuition?
I just overlooked it
We still need to handle the initial conditions. It could be C•e^x for any C in R.
what are you talking about?
if you simplify you get f(x)=f'(x)
Well they get x'= x as an ode. Are you a bit familiar with ode's?
ah makes sense
there's only one function that satisfies this condition
np
the prove is cool you can watch it from mit ocw video
other's proves are a little vague
There is Picard iteration giving you the unique solution as the right side is lipschitz continuous

how to check convergence if x is the power?
which is the dominant value?
,, \forall x>1
anjali
if I do this, what would be the num power?
thats if for the denom
but what about the numerator
try to find something similar
so I pick 3^x?
not that similar
3^x < your numerator so proving the convergence of something smaller doesn't prove anything
so I choose x alone?
you should pick something that's BIGGER
if old numerator / denominator < new numerator / denominator and the latter still converges, then so does the former
but I still need to do the P test to know if I need to use a bigger or smaller number right?
yes this problem is more than just 1 step
what do you mean by picking something bigger? choose any number or only from the equation?
something that's bigger than the numerator for all x
the "for all x > 1" is important
does your function satisfy this inequality
old numerator = x + 3^x + 2
i dont get what you mean for picking the new numerator
so you saying like pick bigger i adjust numerator?
if so how I adjust it
no
did you understand this
nope
probably should have said that 30 minutes ago
In this section we will discuss using the Comparison Test and Limit Comparison Tests to determine if an infinite series converges or diverges. In order to use either test the terms of the infinite series must be positive. Proofs for both tests are also given.

where did the +pi/4 in the answer come from...
which +pi/4
is the original question tan(x) + tan(pi/4 - x) = 1?
how did the solution set i get the pi/4
you need to answer the question for me to help you
"original question" means you need to screenshot the book problem
right now youre showing the answer key for the original question which doesnt tell me enough information
mtt has a point in that you posted something incomplete
Try taking Tan of equation (A)

how to get range fort his
no
the function is $g(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ with bound $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and $x \geq 3$
Astar777
so x can only have values ranging from 3 to infinity
so 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 .......... 1/inf
starting point of range is 1/3
and end point is 1/inf which approaches 0
the range is 0 < g(x) </ 1/3
so range is (0, 1/3]
can i get an explaination using the graph
"Everything to the right of x = 3"
i see the black line in the graph now
okay i understand
ohhhhhhhh

Solving the given equation I got x=7/2y
But don't know what to do after cuz y। is canceling out afterwards
Astar777
Sorry it was a silly mistake
I got this niw
now on to $\frac{x^2 + y^2}{x^2-y^2}$
Astar777
What to do further?
u have value of x/y
how can you make x/y here
-x ²/y² + y²/X2
what
take y^2 common from both numerator and denominator
you'll be left with $\frac{y^2(\frac{x^2}{y^2} +1)}{y^2(\frac{x^2}{y^2} -1)}$
Astar777
y^2 cancels out, then just substitute the value of x/y
thats right
Thank-you so much

im very confused as to why the value for Rb is wrong
i used wolfram alpha
maybe this site is weird and expects 0.001613
didnt work lol

(without rounding any value, it comes out to 0.00161246976619…)
sounds good probably if all else fails

hi
if 1<a, b, c
hi
Hello
then is this true
hi
and 1/a = 1/b + 1/c
then a<b, c
yeah
if a>b, then what about 1/a and 1/b? is 1/a > 1/b? Do you need 1/a > 1/b?

what are they trying to sya here
matrix multiplication is not commutative in general, but some matrices "commute" in the sense that AB = BA
so in this case, they are saying that polynomials of a particular square matrix have this property, that they commute with each other
(a polynomial of a matrix has essentially the same definition as a polynomial of a real number)

so the contradiction statement would be $P \implies \neg(P \land Q)$

so $P \vee \neg(\neg(P \land Q))$

what's wrong with this
nothing? What should be wrong with it
oh
nvm
got my mistake
I'm really confused
what columns would teh truth table have here
P,Q, \neg P , P \implies \negQ, \neg Q \implies P, P iff \neg Q, P \lor Q, P \land Q
anything else
If you want to prove this using truth table, then it should have at least P <=> -Q and (P v Q) ^ -(P ^ Q)
you can include few more columns that will help you in building the truth table
I think the truth table will be overkill here
yeah, it might be
so $P \iff \neg Q$ is the same as $ (P \vee \neg (\neg Q)) \land (\neg Q \vee \neg P)$
Veni, vidi, perii
so $P \vee Q$is true
Veni, vidi, perii
Yep, if P <=> -Q is true, then P v Q is true as well
Or in other words, this is equivalent to
(P v Q) ^ (-Q v -P)
the second part can be further simplified to exactly what you need btw, through a certain rule I wont spoil
If A is true, \neg A must be false
what is A?
so this is the same as $\neg(P \land Q)$
Veni, vidi, perii
Yes, (-Q v -P) is same as -(P ^ Q), by ||De Morgan's law||
Veni, vidi, perii
I forgot that even had a name 💀
So basically here I have to show that $\implies$ and $\iff$ can be expressed in terms of $\land, \lor, \neg$
right
Veni, vidi, perii
Like can a statement form have $\exists$?
Veni, vidi, perii
or $\forall$
Veni, vidi, perii

This is first order logic symbol
that's not in propositional logic
ah, okay
you dont need to worry about it
You need to prove that any statement can be reduced to an equivalent statement containing only negation and implication
oh
If that's what you have, then you are already done
not too bad
A -> B -> C does already contain only negation and implication
the thing is, you need to deal with statements like A ^ B, A v B, A <=> B
Not sure if we've defined well formed yet
if your book is not that formal, you'll only need to explicitly do these 3 things, and then say the rest can be obtained by applying those 3 rules multiple times
Yeah, it's not that formal then
this will be sufficient
I mean that's not too hard
just a minute
So $A \land B \equiv \neg(\neg(A) \vee \neg B) \equiv \neg(\neg A \implies B)$
Veni, vidi, perii
Similarly $A \vee B \equiv (A \vee \neg(\neg B)) \equiv A \implies \neg B$
this is wrong
Veni, vidi, perii
yeah they're both somewhat wrong
try putting in that A and B are both true and you can see the equivalence doesn't quite work because the expressions you ended up with are false

someone help i got the answer as yes but idk bc its 4 marks
its not yes
he doesnt have enough cement to make 180kg concrete mix
how
1 : 3 : 5
ye
if weight of cement required is x
then sand and gravel would be 3x and 5x respectively
in total this all should add up to 180kg
wait isnt cememnt 15
so x+3x+5x = 180
x= 20
so he needs 20kg of cement
but only has 15kg
hence he doesnt have enough to make the concrete mix
ooo ok
yes
but thats the amount he has
its not the amount required to make 180kg of concrete mix
tht wht he has oooooooo
what i did was to find how much cement he would need for 180kg of concrete mix
ok
i see
so questions like this u have to involve x
wht abt this i was savin this to ask
but none responds
idk if its correct but we do 6x1.8
which is 10.8
and also area of the tile (in m^2)
thats of tile
not the rectangular wall
nvm
my bad
yes
its 10.8 m^2
and area of a tile is 0.18 m^2
now find how many total tiles will be used to cover that wall?
yh
so that will be?
yes
60
right
but thats total tiles
u need the number of tiles of each color
see what information is given that could be used for that
yes
so how many tiles left after that?
yh
how will you do that?
check the question, do you see any information that can help here?
green to blue is 1:3
yes
24/3?
yh
right?
1/4 : 3/4
24/4
yes
yes
correct
wot
like as soon as i talked to u i understood everything
skillz
well, firstly you had dimensions of wall and tile given
so you can find the number of tiles
yh
thats it
for the rest part info was given
like 3/5 while tiles
so u just multiply 60 with 3/5
and 1:3 green to blue tiles
so u use that to find green and blue tiles
question solved
my brain started tweakin yesterday bc i couldnt solve this

thanks man i have exams soon so im doin much questions as possible

Show that if G is simple and bipartite then epsilon<= v²/4 
@robust forge Has your question been resolved?
Suppose the partitions have m and n vertices respectively (so m+n = v)
what's the most edges you can have in this graph?
for what values of m and n is that number maximised?
mn
v/2 hmm but the book derives the answer is a diff way
If shows that the answer is maximised when m = n = v/2
And no of edges would be equal to n/2C2 + (n/2+1)C2
and in the next ques they ask to generalize this
To derive a formula for k-partite graph
@frail carbon they have used this formula in the answer key any hints over this que 
do the brackets [.] and {.} refer to floor and ceiling?
as in the two integers closest to n/m (unless n/m is an integer in which case just n/m)
I believe [] refer to floor but the other might be referring to set I mean one part can't have less than 1 vertice
Yup
Any hints @frail carbon 
Anyone hints ?
<@&286206848099549185>
@robust forge Has your question been resolved?
sorry I had to leave for a while. If a vertex is in a subset with i vertices to maximise the number of edges in the graph you want an edge for each of the n-i vertices not in the same subset. You can also then explicitly find how many subsets are of what size
Ok but how does this relate to the above question
Also to maximize the no of edges every point in I should be connected to each point in n-i ?
U there ? @frail carbon
Each part has k = [n/m] vertices, or possibly one more
you can explicitly write n = kr + s for some r, some s < k
then in terms of r and s find the maximum number of edges, and then rearrange the result to get the formula
you are asking for hints for 2.9 now right? or have I misunderstood
Yes 1.2.9
Ok il try that
@frail carbon i believe I was able to do it algebraically
But I still don't get the intuition behind it and the result looks like a combinatorial counting
Can you explain how can we arrive at the result intuitively
I don't have an intuition for this either I'm afraid
There probably is one
But I just don't see it
Closed by @robust forge
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Do you happen to know anyone who could explain the result using a combinatorial method
I would not
Hmm
ask in #combinatorial-structures maybe
I asked in math discussion cause it would be more reachable to ppl lol
I also asked a prodigy frnd of mine he couldn't find one either

Require help the b part of this question
$$\frac{dT}{dr} = \frac{-q}{2 \pi k_{\text{insulation}} r_3}$$
Edmund Cloudsley
if we integrate this, we should get
$$\int dT =\int \frac{-q}{2 \pi k_{\text{insulation}} r_3} dr$$
Edmund Cloudsley
$$T = \frac{-q}{2 \pi k_{i}} \ln{r_3} + C$$
Edmund Cloudsley
we can equate temperature to 50 degs celcius, we know q, we know k_i
how do we find C?
unlike part (a) wherein we can find C by using the temperature at r_1 however here, the equation doesn't share the same k as r1 and r2
The worked solution in this book, they have simply utilised the C value derived from part (a). But I am unable to make sense of it.
since in part (a), we utilise $k_{\text{pipe}}$ instead of $k_{\text{insulation}}$
Edmund Cloudsley
@last slate Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Usually some initial condition or boundary value
yup
Do you know how to find T(0.2)
So the intial condition they have utilised involves a different value of k
yeah. we would just have to substitute 0.2 for the r value

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

In general, when you're given a cubic to solve by hand, there's generally going to be at least one integer/rational root
you can use the rational root theorem to narrow down your possibilities and then test them
use rational root theorem
and yes, ik it says to solve by factoring, but you can fudge that once you find the root lol
(x-8)(x-4)(x-3)=0
ye thank u but how tf u get that answer
Wolfram
Can find a root as they mentioned
ur kidding me
Or proceed by making the cube depressed
Trial nd hit 🎯
i'm depressed 😭
Else I said , go ahead to make it a depressed cubic
not all of them
i.e. start with smaller numbers
100% of the time you will not need to test much to find a root
🥲

what is the derivative of x pentation n
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
x^x^x^x^x^x........ n times
n tends infinity?
well maybe you can do something with induction but I doubt this has a nice formula
i don't really have a proof for this but i assume this is what a general formula would look like
(let me type it out)
let $^n x$ be the nth tetration of x (if you were talking about pentation it would be a different story)
