Hey,
There is a new concept I'm doing, but I am unsure if I'm doing it correctly here. What I'm asking for is a pair of eyes to tell me if I got the concept correct, since I am going by the book, but it seems not simplified enough compared to the other problems
if you know what I mean haha, any help would be much appreciated!
your picture is a bit too low-res to tell what the second fraction is -- is it meant to be $\frac{3}{1 + \frac{4x}{z}}$ maybe?
Ann
in any case, whether its denominator is $1 + \frac{4x}{z}$ or $1 + \frac{4z}{z}$, you simplified it incorrectly
Ann
Apologies, it's the second one in the picture below
ok then as your first step you could have (and imo should have) simplified that to just 4
and leave yourself with $\frac{x}{z} - \frac{3}{5}$
Ann
That would be a lot easier wouldn't it
indeed
So this should be the best format then? (sorry for any sloppiness, can't really take photos of irl scratchwork)
correct now
but just to make sure, can you zoom in on the thing in image #2 here to confirm that it really is 4z/z
cause i am getting a sneaking suspicion that both of our eyesights may be failing us
Still sorta blurry, but I'm pretty sure it's a z
ok that did not help
it is incredibly blurry
is there no way to zoom in on the website that it gives your expression on
it'd be really annoying if we get this wrong because of inability to read the original properly
Ctrl + Zoom is what I'm doing right
but compared to the x and z on the left, I'd think it is a z
Lol, I thank you for the concern though, means you care
ty again ❤️

I voluntarily attended a session today where they offer help with mathmatics at the school I attend. Maths teacher told me that d[v * cos(a)] where v and cos(a) both are functions means the derivative of v * cos(a). In other words f(v)' * f(a) + f(v) * f'(a), in other words the chain rule or whatever it's called. Is there a parallel between that and what d means under other circumstances like integral of (2x dx)? Or like, maybe dy/dx( 2x ), I think the notation is when you take the derivative.
If you're unsure about what I mean by this question, I will be happy to elaborate as it was a bit verbose.
just sounds like total derivative
I am more curious about the notation and whether d with squarebrackets is related to the d we usually se in other expressions.
um
brackets are just to clarify that d is applied to the product v and cos(a) and not interpreted as (dv) * cos(a)
How do you apply d to an entire expression?
You can spot it's first occurrance on page 11 in this document

To start, it is continuous at the origin, as it's the product of two continuous functions
The partial derivative wrt x, can be computed as follows
$0^{1/3}\lim_{h \to 0} \frac {(h)^{1/3}}{h}=0$
hmm
What a wonderful world !
Similarly, we can find the pdv wrt y
I'll do the next bit after my class
thanks a lot

ok so
I don't really need help on solving this question (yet)
but uhhh
I just need to figure out if it's asking what I think it's asking
(this is 1.13)
anyways, from the way it's currently worded, isn't this a really trivial problem? f lipscitz => f locally lipschitz and f cts, letting us use picard-lindelof to conclude that there must be a unique solution
statement of picard-lindelof in the book btw
clearly, each $(t_0,x_0)\in D$ since $f$ is independent of $t$ and defined for $\R$
00100000
@brittle grotto Has your question been resolved?
@brittle grotto no we have to define things appropriately first
So ig u've shown that x(t) has a unique solution
YES U R HERE
PLS HELP
U still have to prove y(t) has a unique solution
let $r=(x,y)$ and $F(t,r)=F(t,(x,y))=(f(x),g(x)y)$
ロケットジャンプ
the IVP is $r'=F(t,r),~r(t_0)=r_0$
ロケットジャンプ
wait... why is that the case?
from what u've said, f satisfies the conditions of Picard-Lindelof, so x'=f(x) should have a unique sol
yes
still, u have the diff eq y'=g(x)y
and u have to show g(x)y then satisfies the conds of Picard-Lindelof
but they're saying to show that 1.13 has a unique solution, right?
and 1.13 doesn't depend on y at all
it actually does
wait, but why?
so the formalism from the other guy is important
bc the book is confusing u with its variable choices
oh true I still need to read that carefully
actually, def 1.6 should rly be adopting his notation, or actually i would prefer if they used $\vec{x}$ instead
Bob the Builder
in place of x
wait wait
bc if u look carefully, u should notice that f has codomain R^n (and not necessarily R)
but isn't x necessarily not vector valued here?
since $x'=f(x)$ when $f:\R\rightarrow\R$?
00100000
is it possible for an $\R^n$-valued function to have an $\R$-ranged derivative?
yea
00100000
^ so this is important
in general x and f must have same codomain
thank you two very much for your help 🙏 I'm going to carefully read through rocket jump's thingy and close this if it resolves all my questions
so that x'=f(x) makes sense
this is precisely why i picked r
we physicists have sorted out good notation already
wait wait wait, so you're saying that the codomain of $x$ is indeed $\R$ here?
00100000
now I'm a little confused
mm u might be tired
yeah I did notice this, but I assumed $f(x)=f(t,x)$
00100000
general first order is x'=f(x), but here we have a system of first orders
since they're both notated by $f$
00100000
for the theory to apply i rewrote it as a single first order
honestly, i feel fine. I'm just a fucking idiot 💀
as im always telling ppl, we must always read the form of things in math instead of the exact letters
I HATE THE AUTHOR FOR USING f TWICE 💀
honestly, as a general rule, how can I tell that they're different functions?
do i just need to know the theory well enough to be able to say "well, the interpretation $f(x)=f(t,x)$ just wouldn't make sense"?
00100000
as a general rule u must be familiar with the form of a statement instead of the exact lettering 🙂
i can describe ur confusion by a simpler example
lets say someone knows how to solve $ax^2+bx+c=0$
ロケットジャンプ
now, what's confusing me a little is how you get from $F(t,(x,y))$ to $(f(x),g(x)y)$
00100000
theyve been solving eqns of that exact form their whole lives. they think theyve become experts at apply the theory
pls continue with this thought tho 🙏
but then they come across smth like $ax^{10}+bx^5+c=0$ and their brain freezes
ロケットジャンプ
thats clearly not a quadratic eqn! they dont know what to do!
oh I see I see
they give up all hope until someone tells them "just rescale the variable!!! all is fine"
ok, you're actually such a good explainer 💀 literally explaining to me the meta-reason this problem confuses me so bad
🙏 orz
so now in this situation
ur the amateur quadratic solver and im the guy telling u to relabel variables 🙂
lmaoooooo
*expert quadratic solver (he just doesn't know how to relabel the variables)
hopefully this lil tale drives home the lesson of reading forms instead of letters!
ok, I'm gonna think very carefully abt ur variable relabeling 🫡
lets now state the form of IVP in plain english to make it independent of letters
derivative of unknown possibly vector valued function=possibly vector valued mix of time and unknown function
thats whats meant every time we write x'=f(t,x), its just that once we write x and f in this context their meanings are locked in
but in our problem we have x,y,f,g and the x,f here have somewhat different meaning so we must fall back to the english form
so would it not be inaccurate to rewrite this system by rewriting 1.13 as $$z(t)=h(t,z)$$ $$z(t_0)=z_0$$?
ok wtf latex
00100000
yes and thats what i did at the start 🙂
it looks like both systems are independent
since the equations in the problems don't depend on t
y'=g(x)y
this is honestly starting to make me think that knowing almost no physics is making me really bad at diffeq
yeah. isn't this all independent of the z, h, and t in the system that I rewrote?
ur form using z,h is identical to my form using r,F
i just prefer to stick to my letters
sorry 😓 this step is still confusing me
remember the form
derivative of unknown possibly vector valued function=possibly vector valued mix of time and unknown function
how do we rewrite LHS as the derivative of a single vector valued function?
LHS?
left hand side
the system
oh, you mean from here?
no im walking u to how i got my form
and we need to rewrite it as a single system...
wait, so trying to wrestle it into $r'=F(t, r)$
00100000
mhm
wait I still need to figure out how to wrestle it into that form
hopefully rewriting LHS is obvious
00100000
yes so LHS = r'
which I would've never been able to think of on my own
so then, lhs is uhhhh, (x',y')
oh wait this may help u
so uhhhh
$\dv{t}\m{x\y}=\m{f(x)\g(x)y}$
ロケットジャンプ
yes?
right hand side is... (f(x),g(x)y)?
yeah
well if thats clear then my form should be clear too
derivative of unknown possibly vector valued function=possibly vector valued mix of time and unknown function
ok I think I finally get what this damn problem is asking now
is it clear at last how i picked my r and F?
yes
perf
so, generally, would you rewrite the equations like this if given a problem in a similar form?
or would it be better to just "get it"
any system of first order DE
honestly I really hate the author for re-using the same letters
isn't the only reason that you can tell that the x's are different because x' is necessarily real valued while the other x isn't?
i simply get on by understanding forms and manipulating stuff to match them 🙂
I see I see. thanks for help 🙏 it's so much clearer now
ill refer back to the quadratic story
lol yeah that's a good story lol
u shouldnt fixate on the fact x^2 and x^10 are different
but simply take it as a suggestion to relabel stuff
to be fair tho, i feel like this situation is worse since the same exact letters are being used for different things
ofc theyre in different context but thats how analogies work. i compare ur problem to a highschoolers problem so u can get some perspective on a general lesson
the same exact letters are being used for different things
and this did happen for the highschooler!
he had x^2 for the usual quadratic and x^10 in the rescaled one
this is like writing
"you're given x^10+2x^5+1=0. Find solutions to the problem x^2+2x+1=0"
wait wait
uhhhh
I wrote that poorly
no im not asking where my f went!
I'm saying "THERE'S 2 DAMN Fs"
thats what the highschooler sees too
they see the quadratic formula with x^2 and x then they see a problem with x^10 and x^5
no but like
it's written in the same system
hmmmmm
ok, regardless, thanks so much for ur help 🙏
i think ur trying to nitpick away from my general point on understanding forms haha
no i do get ur point
at the end of the day its an analogy meant to help u see what i see
I just think that this variable reusage is really evil
and I wanna vent abt it lol
noone denies its tricky
at a lower level lets say real analysis
or even calc
we see tons of theorems concluding smth about arbitrary f
basically the same thing lol
but many problems make us apply those theorems on smth like f+g or cf or f^2
oh wait I see I see
those problems too are solved by understanding the form of a theorem
I've actually been thinking about this wrong the whole time I think
1.13 isn't a system incorporated into problem 1.5, it's what we're supposed to get the two equations we're given in 1.5 into!
and it took me until now to realize that 💀
thats how we interact with almost every definition and theorem...
but better to realize now than never!
I think I've actually finally exited from my analogous perspective of the quadratic equation solver's perspective now lmao
wait I know this
but I just short circuited when he wrote in the problem "to solve 1.13"
it made me think 1.13 is part of the system
in a way?
idk, am I making any sense?
what i do agree is evil is how the problem directly refers to 1.13 as if its immediately in that form
I think if it literally just said "show that this system has a unique solution (hint: rewrite it as an IVP similar to 1.13)" it would've been way clearer
ok anyways, thanks for your help as always 🙏 I appreciate it

as a final sort of sanity confirmation summary tho, I think the big problem here was that I confused 1.13 as part of the system rather than a form to put the system in, right?

what i do agree is evil is how the problem directly refers to 1.13 as if its immediately in that form
but hopefully after the quadratic story u will start to develop a physicist habit of knowing when to relabel stuff to fit a form, so that u will never fall for these traps again 🙂
indeed indeed
I feel dumb for committing such a... "naive" mistake tbh lol
but eh. I hate how the author worded it still
the author is slightly evil but i want u to have this physicist habit in the future to cover ur ass

for this I can just say that the potential function is $ \frac{1}{2} \ln(x^2+y^2)$ and be done, right
yeah
although I am worried about one thing
if the curve encloses the origin is the integral still 0?
i might be misremembering but i've done a similar question before which required two cases, one around the origin, and one not around the origin
@sage helm radial fields are conservative
it's d of something so it's fine
ydx/(x^2 + y^2) - xdy/(x^2 + y^2) is the nontrivial one or something
isn't that d(arctan(x/y))
I guess that isn't continuous
arctan(x/y) isn't a function on R^2\{0}
right
the nontrivial one is 2pi or i2pi
ah yeah it works 
in particular gravity is conservative. congrats u just did physics

do i need to +c for the second integral? is it definite or indefinite?
then second is the integral from 0 to x ?
the second doesnt need + C
F(7) + C - {F(0) + C}
C - C = 0
but you should write as the integral from 0 to x of f(y)dy
i didnt say its wrong
first one is indefinite and has a +c
second one is definite and does not have a +c
but its better to write it as int f(y)dy
i dont understand the importance
ok let's say
you know that integrals are anti derivatives right?
because its from 0 to x
looks exactly the same just without +c
its F(x) - F(0)
is this an x or a 7?
x
supposedly x
then yeah this guy is right
why is using x bad
then when is indefinite int used
you will get the same result as well
ye but wheres the conflict
you are using x as your integration variable and then having it as a limit, better to use a different variable
it doesn't make a difference?
or am I wrong
it doesnt make a difference
so just for clarity
you will get the same result
but its better to do it
anyways
i don't understand
both integrals has the same result
but the second is without C
but since C is a number the result is kinda different
that if F(0) =0
The c get canceled in definite integrals
yeah and they stay in indefninite integrals
correct
there are no limits for indefinite
There are no limits
that's why it's called indefinite
assumption we can say i think
Well it’s to understand them better and to have identities like int cos x gives sinx
Also helpful in differential
Equations
F(+infinity) - F(-infinity)
would f(+inf) be in terms of x if its not approaching a limit?
definite integrals gives numbers
definite integrals will never give a solution in x except when the limits are in x
You could also think of it as finding a function whose slope is the original function
does this mean that unless a function is odd, int from -inf to +inf is improper?

I need to find how many functions there are from [n] to [k] so that for every 1≤i≤n-1, f(i)+ i ≤ f(i + 1)
[n] to [k]?
Yes
haven't seen that notation before
From {1,2,...n} to {1,2,...k}
ah that's... much clearer
so $f(i+1) - f(i) \geq i$
Ann
I'll try solving it using that, I think I have a direction
I can't seem to figure it out, everything I find depends on f instead of n and k
try defining a function $\tilde{f}$ that ``shortens the gaps'' between the values of $f$ somehow
Ann
(if you manage to define f-tilde such that f-tilde(i+1) - f-tilde(i) ≥ 1 instead, you will be able to use a standard combinatorical function.)

recall the definition of e
and replace 1/n with a similar h
you might see some similarities
now just multiply and divide the right term with h and use the standard limit you'll be done
hi neon
sh

shawarma
Yes, it's e
no it's not e
Oh sorry
have you not come across standard limits before? such as sin(x)/x, tan(x)/x, and this one?
which is what i was pointing to earlier
This is 1
correct
here you can multiply both bits by h
use the limit
and voila
[ \lim_{h \to 0} \f 1h - \f 1h \cdot \f{h}{\ln (1 + h)} ]
shawarma
So, What should I do?
just directly replace that with 1
shawarma
simplify lmao 😭 what's left to do
0?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
looks like we fucked up
you can't do partial direct sub like that
yeah I realized when you factored
I think it's better to just take the LCM and then taylor expand it
this is a 0/0 form by any other name
$\lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\log(1+h) - h}{h \log(1+h)}$
Ann
Okay I did this initially and then backed up
you can do some series expansion from here
$\log(1+h) = h - \frac12 h^2 + o(h^2)$ on the top and bottom (and in fact on the bottom expanding only up to $h^1$ is enough)
Ann
yep and now ur limit toolbox includes taylor expansion (which is just smarter lhopital)
I agree
I am required to do all these limits using LHopital's rule
Taylor series is still like four chapters away from where I am
you do not need to expand this far for this limit tbh
Okay
I am trying out all these limits with and without Lhopitals' for now, so that's fine!

Should I use the expansion of e^x?
yes
Try using L'Hospital rule
and also dont take the limit partially
from the pre last step use the expansion and them conclude it

is this just amgm
I was thinking Lagrange multipliers
am gm is easiest
im not sure what is most constructive or uhh
am>= gm
intuitive
don’t give the solution
sure you could do it other ways though
It's more that I need to parctice LM
tbh idk the am gm proof by memory either
yeah, there was an extremely cool way of doing this with binomial theorem or smth i dont remember now tho 😅
by logarithm concavity
?
try taking log of both sides
wai sorry were bumping off a bit
wai wants help to solve this with lagrange multipliers
What a wonderful world !
$ln(\frac{x_1+…+x_n}{n}) \geq \frac{1}{n} (ln(x_1)+…ln(x_n))=ln((x_1 \cdot x_2 …\cdot x_n)^{\frac{1}{n}})$ and then you apply exponential
tm
if im not wrong
That's using AM-GM though
righ

was doing this question and i differentiated and got k = +- tan(theta)
however i dont understand why we reject k = -tan(theta)
like i dont understand the justification they give
k>0
tan(theta) is positive in the given set for theta
so -tan(theta) is negative, so this cant be k as k is positive

is it possible to solve this kind of question without natural logarithm bcs we havent learned abt this (ims tudying for exams) or should i just learn this to eb safe?
it is possible
is it required? regarding rulesthe last one we were taught was just chain rule and then the basic differentiation ruless
oooo
but its horrendously long winded and annoying
if you know how the logarithm works there's no reason for you not to learn this
well, i dont find it hard
and most dont
suit yourself lol
(not to be condescending)
yeah we take logarithms here
OO
because they have the fun property of $\ln(f(x)^n) = n\ln(f(x))$, and doing it any other way is insane.
if you know your basic log properties and the chain rule its super simple
Percy
this holds for any base log but we use the natural because $\frac{d}{dx} \ln(x) = \frac1{x}$ which makes things major easy

Why would I want to use green's theorm here?
😭
Much easier to just come up with the function $f(x,y)= \frac{x^2}{2} + xy^2$
What a wonderful world !
and say based on this, it's a potential function
I mean, they say green's, you use green's
You're correct that this is a good potential function and presenting it already proves the question
Lemme just try using green's
$\int_{ \partial D^{+}} (x+y^2,2xy)\cdot(dx,dy)= \iint_{S} 2y - 2y dA = \int_{D} 0 =0dA$
What a wonderful world !
Does this work
You need a region to integrate over. What's the region here?
The closed curve of any curve connecting 0 to (a,b) , and back from (a,b) to (0,0) again
Good! Finally, can you interpret what an integral of 0 means for this question?
It's a conservative field
You might know the answer for this but I am asking badly haha.
Basically you can take any two curves from (0,0) to (a,b). I'll call those curves C and D.
The curve C - D is a closed loop that starts/ends at (0,0) but passes through (a,b).
Via green's, integral of C - D = 0
Integral of C = Integral of D

can a generator get the same element twice before reaching identity for the first time?
no right? as they are sets im not sure if this holds
as who are sets?
can you clarify why you're asking
as in
I assume you're asking whether we can have g^m = g^n for m =/= n, where both 0 < m, n < o(g) for a group element g
Lets say G = <g> right
and that g^r is the identity, or <g> is power r
ok?
from here, assume n and m are both less than r
can we have it so g^n = g^m?
note, n != m
oh
hmm
ok this is more for examples in Z mod smth
where they can be in the same equivilance class
for a more spesific case
so like
g^n = g^m mod n
but n != m
so the genirater hits the same equivilance class twice before hitting Id
if g has finite order then this happens. if not then it may not happen
... not before hitting the identity though
if g^m = g^n, then WLOG m < n (otherwise swap what I'm about to do) and multiplying both sides by the inverse of g m times gives e = g^(n-m), but (I'm assuming we're working with positive integers) n-m < n too
yeah im talking in general
if ordg finite then g^n=g^m
if ordg need not be finite take g=1 in (Z,+)

Suppose the curve $z = e^{-x^2}$ in the $x-z$ plane is rotated about the $z$-axis. Write the resulting surface as an equation in cylindrical coords.
.RODATA
i understand that $z = e^{-(r^2\cos^2(\theta))}$ if it weren't rotated about the $z$-axis
.RODATA
but what does rotating about the z-axis do to the equation
and can i have an explanation as to why it does that
never mind i must make the substitution $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$

$z = x$ is revolved around the $z$-axis. What is the equation that describes this surface in cylindrical coordinates.
.RODATA
z=x is a plane
i can't imagine what the curve will be
you revolve it around the z axis
so, after graphing, it should look like z = +/- r (z^2 = r^2)
but im not sure how to get that in steps
similar issue with $z = e^{{-x}^2}$ being revolved around the $z$-axis
.RODATA
still can't imagine maybe someone else can help, sry
what's the point of "helping" if you're going to be sarcastic
maybe try using a few of your braincells to put stuff into words
i wasn't being sarcastic, we both were trying to find out the solution
maybe you didn't like that and that's fine
i'm convinced you're being sarcastic still
because obviously rotating that graph around the z axis is z^2 = r^2
but im asking how im supposed to show that on paper if im asked this
@gray widget
ok wait
@grand latch
i just read ur past messages and i realize you probably are not trolling/being sarcastic
maybe, you tell me
im very sorry for these messages
yeah thanks
@grim sierra Has your question been resolved?
when you resolve the curve around the z axis the distance to the rotation axis (z) changes
yep
can you convice yourself that the new distance to the z axis when it's resolved now has to be sqrt(x^2+y^2)?
exacltly
.RODATA
on paper, id convert to $z = e^{-(r^2\cos^2(\theta)}$
.RODATA
no
so, in general, what am i meant to do for a curve being revolved around the z-axis. just visualization?
because x is the distance from each point of the curve to the z-axis. when resolved, now this distance is r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)
yes
mhm
leonardomoura
Can you write the equation of the surface now?
sorry i'm back
ohhh
so when revolving, the distance of each curve to the z axis is sqrt(x^2 + y^2), which is r
so its z=. e^(-r^2)
yes
go ahead
ok so i can visualize the rotation now
the distance from the z axis to the curve is still $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$?
.RODATA
so $x \to r$
.RODATA
so $z = r$?
.RODATA
this one
oh
not a parabola
yeah the revolution is a parabola
uhh
z = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
z^2 = x^2 + y^2
cylinder?
no, visualize it in 3d
now ait
ok
i know r = 2 is a cylinder of radius 2
r = 3 is a cylinder of radius 3
yes
so it would be like
a bunch of circles stacked along the z axis
just in increasing radius
idk what that shape is
im just describing it
it looks like a concave up parabola but 3d
wait
it's just a cone lol
perfect
cuz the radius increases linearly
yes, it's a cone
z = r^2 is a parabola since the radius increases exponentially?
a paraboloid
alr
lemme try ONE last questio
y = 0 in spherical coords
so y = 0 is just the xz plane
yes
around which axis?
z
