Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
btw theres another method for doing this.. by finding an expression in terms of n but that is a little tricky
I thought of that originally but there were 3 terms in n so it was tough
yeah
✅
I can find the sum this way but I need a_23-2a_22 and the calculations will get really large by then
===== Pg9 - Challenge and Thrill Of Pre-college Mathematics =====
"By definition the sum of two complex no. is a complex number and
the product of two complex no. is a complex no."
This wouldn't be the case if one of the complex numbers was the
complex conjugate of the other, right? For example:
(3 + 2i)(3 - 2i) = 3^2 + 2^2 = 13
We know that 13 is real.
So whats going on???
===== Pg10 - Challenge and Thrill Of Pre-college Mathematics =====
Definition 3: |2 + 3i| = 5
Shouldn't it be equal to sqrt(14)??

i know this is false but i dont know how to prove it
you need a counterexample
yes but how do i prove the counterexample is a counterexample
like
like sin(pi*x)+sin(x) is not periodic
what did you have in mind?
but how do i prove thjat
well if it were periodic then the ratio of the periods would have to be rational
can you prove that?
like
nope my brain isnt big enough for that
intuitively like obviously
the period is the lcm
and if its irrational you cant
when both pix and x are multiples of 2p
2pi
if you can prove "if f is p periodic and g is q periodic and p/q is rational then f + g is periodic" then the contrapositive gives you f + g not periodic implies p/q is irrational
right so there must exist integers $m$ and $n$ such that $\pi x = 2\pi n$ and $x = 2\pi m$
Ann
damn thats clever
thats basically the same thing but yea
i would not have thought of that
alright just 14 more exercises to go until im done with subspaces for now
i hate linear algebra

Derivative of log|logx|
also beware of x=1
Yes
Domain would be 0<x<1 and x>1
1/xlogx so here what is the problem x=/1
It seems good
you get 1/0
you mean x=1
?
the issue is the abs val, to get rid of it you can consider separately the cases 0 < x < 1 and x > 1
in the first case, |log(x)| becomes - log(x)

how
what part
every part
$H_n = \sum_{i=1}^n \f1i$ by definition
i know what H_n and H_n^(m) are
so you can say
no that's where i'm stuck
the author broke the sum
that's fine, but then why subtract H_n^(2)
$\sum_{i=1}^n \left(\sum_{j=1}^i \f{1}{ij}+ \sum_{j=i}^n \f{1}{ij}\right) - \sum_{i=1}^n \f{1}{i^2}$
so the reasonn theres a minus 1/i^2 is because we overcount in the middle
do you see the first sum goes from j = 1 to i
then the second part starts from i to n
we count i twice
and the key observation is that
$$
\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^{,i} \frac{1}{i,j}
;=;
\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=i}^{,n} \frac{1}{i,j}
$$
cool

!status
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
Also would be great if we could have a translated version
i can do that
Let B = {v1, v2, v3} be a basis for a vector space V and let f: V -> V be a linear transformation such that [see image].
a) Find all k ∈ R for which f is injective (or, as the text says, a monomorphism).
b) For each k ∈ R, find ker(f).
1
ok
if V was R^3 and {v1, v2, v3} was the canonical basis, would you know what to do?
at least the line of attack
i wanted to ask what is a mono
it means injective
what does injective mean?
,w injective
inyectiva
makes sense
basically the same word 
yeah xd
latin go brrrr
ker(f) is trivial
anyway yeah injective generally means f(x)=f(y) implies x=y i.e. no two inputs get the same output
basically mono <=> ker is trivial
and yes for linear maps it's equivalent to trivial kernel
thats a pretty important thing to keep in mind generally when doing LA
k = R-{3,-1}
@burnt flame did you ghost pinged me?
or was something deleted or no?
just deleted something i was just stating something obvious like how you can show this
basically, if v1 ∈ ker(f) then f(v1)=0 same for the other ones, v2, v3, so we need to find a k such that they are all linearly independent vectors right,
basically the image must be full
and since kernel is trivial
the nullity is zero
basically, if v1 ∈ ker(f) then f(v1)=0
what you said is true but pointless
yeah im just stupid
this is good
the rank nullity approach is correct i think tho
so yes for all k other than -1 or 3 you have that the kernel is trivial and so the map is injective
and now for b) you need to work out the kernel when k=-1 and when k=3
is it okay if I map in ny brain that mono = trivial kernerl
eh
yeah why not
"monomorphism" is specialized to abstract algebra anyway
probably no harm

could i get insight on how to start and a few steps, i dont need the answer just the process on how to do this
ok step 0 is to crop away the transparent region that's 4 times taller than the image itself
there is no "process" really as there are a great many functions that exist
easiest is to draw a graph

Hi i am unsure how to simplify this to get to the next line of working where the arrow is. I have tried but I get different values. any help is appreciated
Recall that 1/j = -j
This would make the process more straightforward for you in this case
Also, just a tip, addition/subtraction is easier done in Cartesian form, whilst division/multiplication is easier done in Polar form
You could convert between the two to do those computations if you may
@outer quartz Has your question been resolved?
Do you still need help? @outer quartz
yes please i still dont understand how my teacher got 10.88 + j6.4
when i do it by hand and also by calculator i get 0.1603 + 0.457j
it would help if you'd realise that $\frac{1}{Z}=\frac{Z^*}{\abs{Z}^2}$ 🤔
parabolicinsanity
yes i did use the complex conjugate
You seem to be right yeah. Seems like a mistake from your professor's end

I think I'm being slow here. He says that the difference between the two pictures is that once we've changed the y-axis to be multiplicative (e.g., 10 to 100), "we can say that we are now plotting the logarithm of the total number of cases."
He doesn't say that the function has changed, so I don't see how it is plotting the logarithm. E.g., if f(3) = 5, then on both graphs it will be 5. And if f(4) = 50, then on both graphs it will be 50. But, since we have rescaled our y-axis, those data points won't just shoot off into an exponential curve, and we get more visually interesting data.
I don't see how rescaling it changes what we're plotting.
I imagine he's explaining that it helps us get a better idea of how the data is evolving: that is, if the data appears linear of hte log chat then we can say that log(Y)~aX+b meaning Y~e^(aX+b) which lets us say things like "the data appears to grow exponentially"
also I've seen it certain sciences where log scales will be used to better display data that may be exponential by nature
an example of the top of my head eludes me at the moment but I saw it multiple times in my bio and chem classes in secondary school
No, I believe this. That is the purpose of using the logarithmic scale.
I'm confused by the wording "we are plotting the logarithm." I do not know what he means by this.
I think he means that we’re just plotting log(y) against x.
Or rather 10^y, but you get my point.

can someone explain the whole of 8’th question
i kinda understand the first one but i got no clue how to do the 2nd part
also for the first one qhy cant i do 100-21 why 1-0.21
What answer would you get
(79)^n N
their the same thing yet different andwers
They're not the same thing
If n=1, what's 79^n * N
79N
oops
i see
but then for the second one why did they do 100-x then?
if its x%
should it be 1 - x/100
oh shit
it is that
lol
but why did they equate it to the previous one
arent they unrelated
one is 21% another is x%
Help!!
What
I dont understand why they equated 1-x/100 to 0.79^n
they are completely unrelated right?
What are "they"
the 2 equations
1-x/100 and 0.79^n
<@&286206848099549185>

This follows from the information given in the questions
n = 20
but the previous one disinfects at 21% per minute and this one is x% per minute so their 2 different things right?

Consider some real $2$-dimensional inner product space $\mathsf V$. If $\det(\mathsf T)=1$, let $\beta$ be an orthonormal basis for $\mathsf V$. We then have $\det([\mathsf T]\beta)=1$ and hence the map $\mathsf L_A(x)=Ax$ with $A=[\mathsf T]\beta$ for $x\in \mathsf R^2$ is a rotation. Now the map $\phi_\beta$ that sends a vector $v\in\mathsf V$ to its coordinate vector $x\in\mathsf R^2$ with respect to $\beta$, preserves the inner product (i.e. distances and angles). Does it follow from this that $\mathsf T$ is a rotation whenever $\mathsf L_A$ is? I don't know how to rigorously motivate this.

I would imagine we can start by pinning down certain values, or at least placing limits on them
Considering f(0), we have f(0) = f(-1 + 1) so f(-1) + f(1) + 1 ≥ f(0) ≥ f(-1) + f(1) giving 1 ≥ f(0) ≥ 0
Then we can use f(0)'s bounds to place bounds on f(1/2) and vice versa.
f(1) = f(1/2 + 1/2) => f(1/2) + f(1/2) + 1 ≥ f(1) ≥ f(1/2) + f(1/2)
2f(1/2) + 1 ≥ 1 => f(1/2) ≥ 0
1 ≥ 2f(1/2) => f(1/2) ≤ 1/2
Similarly, we can find any dyadic rational q/2^n in (0, 1) will have the bounds q/2^n ≥ f(q/2^n) ≥ 0
Now consider f(1/2) = f(1/2 + 0)
f(1/2) + f(0) + 1 ≥ f(1/2) ≥ f(1/2) + f(0)
Considering only f(1/2) ≥ f(1/2) + f(0) we have f(0) ≤ 0
But we also have f(0) ≥ 0, so f(0) = 0, and because of f(0) ≥ f(x) for all x in [0, 1) we have f(q/2^n) = 0 for all q/2^n in [0, 1)
See if you can take it from here pinning down more values!

[I_n = \int_1^e \ln(x)^n] is there a way to find $I_{n+1}$ as $I_n$ plus some other constant
<rajel />
if i try to integrate I_n+1 with IBP i dont get anywhere
,, I_{n+1} = \int_1^e \ln(x)^{n+1} \dd{x}
<rajel />
you should be able to IBP a recursion formula relating I_n+1 and I_n
i couldn't 
what did you select for your u and dv?
maybe define (I_n(x)=\int_1^x{(\ln t)}^n dt)?
,, I_{n+1} = [\ln(x) (n+1) \cdot \frac{1}{x} \cdot \ln(x)^n]_1^e - \int_1^e (x\ln(x) - x) \cdot (n+1) \frac{1}{x} \ln(x)^n \dd{x}
ther first term is 0
nvm
anyways i dont care about it , since its a constant
,, I_{n+1} = c - n\int_1^e (\ln(x) - 1) \cdot \ln(x)^{n-1} \dd{x}
i'm not entirely sure how you got this
by making ln^n+1 =ln*ln^n
hmm
oh i made a mistake
<rajel />
c is that term
i would instead use the fact that f(x) = f(x) * 1
huh
can the answer have
do i have to learn to use this bot now 🌚
[I_n = \int_1^e \ln(x)^n] is there a way to find $I_{n+1}$ as constant * $I_n$ plus some other constant
ChinChin
copy pasted from yours :>
this would make it way more easier
thx
and whats the question
read that
like
does it have to be
integral n+1 = integral n + c
or can it be
integral n+1 = k * integral n + c
it should just be in this form $I_{n+1} = \frac{2n}{e^2} I_n +...$
<rajel />
just an example
got it
wait
IBP on integral (lnx)^n+1 dx
=[xln(x)^(n+1)][evaluated from 1 to e]
−∫x⋅(n+1)ln(x)^n * 1/x dx
1st part becomes e,
and the 2nd part is (n+1)*In
it should just be in this form $I_{n+1} = {n+1} I_n + e$
ChinChin
lol
ChinChin
yeah yeah , the thing is i was taking the wrong u ,dv

but yeah thx

Only did the n=2 part so far
Don’t know how to do inductive step
try dividing the right by |z_1|
I think
You’re cooking
$n=k+1\implies (k+1)\frac{|z_2|^k}{|z_1|^{k-1}}<\frac{1}{|z_1|-|z_2|}$
Ok now what
I put n instead of k
🤦♂️
;(
you’re trying to prove $n \biggr| \frac{z_2}{z_1}\biggr|^{n-1} < \frac{1}{1 - \biggr|\frac{z_2}{z_1}\biggr|}$
knief
[|z2|/|z1|]^n is decreasing function
What the freak
ding ding ding
I didn’t think we could invoke that lmao
why not?
$n<\infty$
the modulus makes it real
;(
and |z_2| < |z_1| means their ratio is < 1
see if you can prove n |z_2/z_1|^{n-1} < infinite sum
take derivative of the geometric sequence
No calculus ❌
no need
Yeah I think I can just use the nz^{n-1} infinite series closed form I derived in the last exercise
And compare to the n-th term
what book is this?
Howie’s Complex Analysis
This copy had a freaking IP address as its URL
never heard of it
yea no
Valid?
i’m not sure if you mean the closed form for the series nz^{n-1}?
isn’t it simpler to just say something like
x^n become nx^n-1 x is ratio of z2 and z1 we know the sum of all nx^n-1 is 1/(1-x)^2 which gives z1^2/(z1-z2)^2 which is less than z1/z1-z2 i didn’t write absolute sign sorry
|z_2/z_1|^(n-1) < |z_2/z_1|^(n-2) < … < |z_2/z_1|) + 1 and we have n terms here so n |z_2/z_1|^(n-1) < partial sum < infinite series?
oh
Interesting
so sum s> any term in the sequence z1/z1-z2> n[z1/z2]^n-1
1 + |z_2/z_1| + … + |z_2/z_1|^(n-1) < |z_2/z_1|^(n-1) + … n times
because we aren’t summing n |z_2/z_1|^(n-1)
Why is there a plus 1
to get n terms
-# serry

it’s just making the partial sum
Ok
the right side is 1 + |z_2/z_1| + …
try my way
Mkay
why are you doing complex analysis before real analysis btw
$$\frac{|z_1|}{|z_1|-|z_2|}=\frac1{1-\frac{|z_2|}{|z_1|}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\bigg\vert\frac{z_2}{z_1}\bigg\vert^n>1+\frac{|z_2|}{|z_1|}+\bigg\vert\frac{z_2}{z_1}\bigg\vert^2\ldots\bigg\vert\frac{z_2}{z_1}\bigg\vert^{n-1}>n\bigg\vert\frac{z_2}{z_1}\bigg\vert^{n-1},$$
;(
Real analysis sucks

you’re welcome
Yeah, makes sense (factorization stuff and decreasing things)
Bruh I went through the rest of the exercises in like 30 minutes

My abstract algebra homework is having me make a group of symmetries on a circle
I decided to just use the horizontal reflection matrix and the general rotation matrix in R2
But idk how I properly denote this group
That's a way to denote it!
Well i moreso mean
Idk what to write down mathematically to demonstrate that this is what I mean
What you just said is perfect
Hm
I don't know if your class might use a symbol for the reflection and rotation matricies
I thought i would need to say that they are generators
No this was my own doing
I could've used any group thats isomorphic probably
Oh yeah, sure. I did kind of stick "these are the generators" in there. you're right you should say that
At first I just said the complex numbers with magnitude 1 but thats only symmetric to the rotation group
Or, sorry. I did just think of a better way to notate this group
This is similar to a group you may have put on a triangle, a square, etc
This is a dihedral group
Yeah the homework was for the dihedral group of a circle
But I of course can't use the standard notation since the rotations are by an arbitrary angle

really silly but I feel I'm missing smthg here
ST(v)=av
TS(ST(v))=aTS(v)
I want to get the RHS to be ST(v), I think?
note that they have the same eigenvalues, not necessarily the same eigenvectors
yes
well, I need to start from sat ST(v) and somehow from that get to TS(u), right
yeah
ST(v)=av
TS(ST(v))=aTS(v)
I want to get the RHS to be ST(v), I think?
so something like this
maybe try looking at $TST$ instead of $TS^2T$ as you are rn

Let $dim(V)=n$
Let $v_1,v_2,\dots v_m$ be all the $m$ distinct eigenvectors $0≤m≤n$ as eigenvectors are Linearly independent.
\
We then have
Let $T(v_i)=u_i$
\
Let $\sum_{i=1}^{n} a_iv_i≠ 0$
so $\sum_{i=1}^{m}{a_iv_i} = \sum_{i=1}^{m} a_i u_i ≠0$
\
Only dim(Range(T)) vectors in the image are LI
and here I;m stuck
wai
wai
wai
hi
I feel like I'm half-way there but missing something simple
Like my idea is as eigenvectors are LI we can start with that and extend that to form a basis
like this would mean dim ( range (T))+1 eigenvectors, no?

the amount of mappings $f:{1,2,3,4,5}\to{1,2,3,4,5}$ such that $\forall x\in{1,2,3,4,5}\quad f(f(x))\in {1,2}$

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
is there a better way than casework
I mean you can get rid of some casework
but I'm not sure if you can get rid of all
do you know what f(1) and/or f(2) should be?
casework as in there is only 1 domain that points to {1,2}, 2 domain that points to {1,2} ect
f(1) and f(2) should be in the {1,2}
not necessarily both
ehh
as I said it's hard to get rid of casework
is this the best way to split the cases or is there a better way
what does "1 domain" and "2 domain" mean
like there are 2 elements in the domain that point to {1,2}
this is a bit more far fetched than what I had in mind
and I think there would still be some casework INSIDE each of those
rendering this kind of split kinda useless
whats a better split then
I would have started with "both 1 and 2 are sent to {1,2}" or only one of them
show that none being sent to 1,2 is impossible
and if only 1, for example, is sent to {1,2}, what to say about f(1)
@viral dagger Has your question been resolved?
reminds me of aime question i could swear
seems like it could be considering the size of the solution instinctually feels around three digits
if neither f(1) nor f(2) is sent to {1,2}, then the thing that sends to {1,2} wont go to {1,2}
if only one of them say f(1) goes to {1,2} like you wrote, then it has to go to {1} as if it were to go to {2} then f(f(1)) wouldnt go to {1,2} as f(2) doesent go to {1,2}
vice versa with f(2)
so either f(1)=1, or f(2)=2, or f(1) and f(2) both go to {1,2}
for the f(1)=1, if the range 1 only has 1 coresponding domain then there is 1 possibility, if there is 2 then there is 4c1×2^3, if there is 3 then there is 4c2×3^2, if there is 4 then there is 4c3×4^1, if there is 5 then there is 1, the sum is 103 and since its the same for both f(1)=1 and f(2)=1 it will be 103×2
so now, whats next is f(1)=1 and f(2)=2, and f(1)=2 and f(2)=1, they are also the same so you can think about one of them
if there is 2 thrn there is 3c0×2^3
if there is 3 then there is 3c1×3^2
if there is 4 then there is 3c2×4^1
if there is 5 then there is 1
48×2=96
so total is 302?
don't know how you got this
huh
suppose you have f(1) = 1 and f(2) not 1 or 2
then pick f(2), which is either 3,4 or 5
and then we must have f(f(2)) = 1 no matter what (why?)
ah
suppose wlog now that f(2) = 3, f(3) = 1
we're only left to choose f(4) and f(5)
f(4) = 1,3 or 5
if f(4) = 5 then f(5) = 1
otherwise f(5) = 1 or 3
so in total, 2 * 3 * (1 + 4) (this is false, see remark below)
if exactly one of 1,2 is sent to 1,2
oh wait
if f(4) = 1 then we also have f(5) = 4 that becomes a possibility
so in total, 2 * 3 * (1 + 4+1)
and now we're good to go I believe
in the case where both 1,2 are sent to {1,2}
now splitting into how many elements outside are directly sent to {1,2} makes sense
oo
choosing f(1) and f(2) gives you then 2^2 choices
if only one outside is sent to {1,2}, choose that element and its image (3C1 * 2)
because then the other two are sent exactly to that element
if two outside are sent to {1,2}, choose them and their image (3C2 * 2^2)
and then two choices for the image of the remaining element
if all are sent to {1,2}, choose all their images (2^3)
so
2 * 3 * 6 + 2^2(3C1 * 2 + 3C2 * 2^2 * 2 + 2^3)
188
sorry I went a bit too much into details, I can erase some of those if you want to work it out
whats an image btw? is it like what the element corresponds to from the function?
f(x) is the image of x by f
ok i understand

hint they have said r is dependent on time t, so you use chainrule
Yeah use chain rule, you have clues as to 3 different differentials.
No, l is dependent on r. It's not a constant.
Use this: dS/dt = dS/dr * dr/dt
but before you do the second question, have you done the first part?
well you found an expression for l in terms of r, right?
presenting l in terms of r?
that's a fair point.
plug it in the s's equation
then you need to substitute that into the expression for the surface area
then expand, collect like terms and diff.
this is why mathematicians love the blackboard, helping or doing math over chat is tough
is the whole thing square rooted or just 25?
very true.
ohhh
whole thing
ok so then i use chain rule ??
yes but only when its applicable ie there is r
then you might have an issue, cause if it is you wont be able to do much
or no its fine
yes
when you sub in l you should get S = pi(r^2) + pi(r)(25+r^2)^1/2
then you differentiate that expression to get dS/dr
yuh
ok wait
i got htis
i forgot the pi in the second and third addition
i got tit
thanksssss
hold on.
Try to make your writing more legible, after the second plus on the last line it looks like you put an equals sign
okaies
An examiner might get very confused and mark you down for it, so just watch out for that
ofc
and for dv/dt i sub the V
i got this 1/
yes
idk where i went in simplyifing it
first expand the V expression given, then use the expanded version to subsitute into dV/dt
is this sufficient
no wait
i messed up
the last part
llollll
its supposed to be 6--3h
60-3h
yeah I would say it is sufficient working.
But personally after reviewing loads of mark schemes, to be on the safe side state what your derivatives are rather than subsituting in straight away.
There are usually marks for that stuff on mark schemes.
Well I am sure you got full marks, reminder if you don't need help anymore, please close the channel to allow other people to use it.

D lies on ${l}$ and therefore is a scalar multiple of ${\vec{AB}}$. Thus,
[ \vec{AD} = k\vec{AB}. ]
Using the cross product definition for area, we have that [A_{CAB} = | \vec{AB} \times \vec{AC} |.]
Note also that for scalar ${c}$,
[ (c\vec{u}) \times \vec{v} = c(\vec{u} \times \vec{v}). ]

Hopefully you're not currently in an exam
you can just use the formula for integration of 1/a^2-y^2
would copy from chatgpt n sleep
a here is 2
whts this frmula
integration of 1/a^2-x^2 = 1/2a * ln mod (a+x/a-x)
It's a "hence" question so they don't get any points if they don't use the formula from the first part
oh sorry didn't see the first part
He has to do it manually
well then firstly use a^2-y^2 = (a+y)(a-y)
then you can split that into A/a+y + B/a-y, where A and B are constants
so we get 1/a^2-y^2 = A/a+y + B/a-y
Now multiply both sides by (a+y)(a-y)
Then you can just find A and B
alrr
Lmk when you're done till here
Then we'll do the integration part
(btw in the explanation above a would be 2 since that's what's given in the first part)
He got the partial fractions right did he not
yeah
ok so you're till there already, the mistake is you took 2 across but wrote it as ln2
?? how did you get ln (-4)
notice there's a mod on the ln argument
just take all the other terms except ln sec x to one side
take ln 2 to the other side so it becomes ln (4-y^2/2)
yes
got g(x)?
i rmove the ln and square it ?
what's ms?
apparently the answer here is the answer
marking scheme
the answer you wrote? how? you wrote 2 as ln2 in that
why has your teacher written y=8+4y/2-y?? Aren't you supposed to find g(y)?
did you do this tho
yes
idk what your teacher's written tell them to cross check
why is it integrate theta
the parameter can be anything it doesn't matter, change it all to x if you feel more comfortable with it
integrating theta basically means finding the area of the given function from one value of theta to another (here, from 0 to pi/2)
At first glance I'd say it's just integration by parts
? integration of theta is (theta)^2/2
have you tried that yet?
yes, good progress
now the first integration can just easily be done
for the second integration you need to use by parts
how to integrate that 1/2 theta
just think of theta as x, and now tell me what the answer would be
see, the integration sign is blind to your parameter as long as its the one being used (eg, dx for x, and similarly dtheta for theta)
yasss
perfect
wdym
oh damn lmao
not much will change tho except the by parts
you know the integration of cos2x and sin2x right?
cool, still got it then
wb sin2x

whats a good algorithm to find the particular solutions for the type of equations:
[
\alpha x + \gamma y = \theta
]
<rajel />
i.e 5x +3y = 12
,, x,y \in \mathbb{Z}^2
<rajel />
I don't think there's a specific algorithm since this is just one equation two variables
brute forcing
yep seen many and im a bit confused
unless there's advanced techniques i don't know about
extended euclidean algoeithm no?
you can take over lmao idk that
yeah I'd use the algorithm i mwnfioned. it finds integers x and y such that alpha x + gamma y = gcd of alpha and gamma
if that gcd divides theta just scale the solution by theta/gcd and you jave an integer solution
Closed by @rancid vigil
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
It's enough to find just one solution (x0, y0)
After that all solutions are just (x0, y0) + (-γ/d, α/d)k, where d = gcd(γ, α)
thats what i meant by particular solutions
Ah ok
Euclidean algorithm allows to compute u, v such that uα + vγ = d
From here it's possible to contruct an algorithm for finding x0, y0

only when a and c are coprime
try 6,4 and 12
a = 6
c = 4

coprime is a strong word
it doesn't need to be coprime tho
2^2 | 2^64 and 2^4 | 2^64 and 2^6 | 2^64
but the sum of powers of primes in the prime factorization of a and c <= power of the corresponding prime in the prime factorization of b

I have a basic question. Consider $(A-2I)x=b$ where $$A=\begin{pmatrix}
2&-1&0\
0&2&-2\
0&0&2
\end{pmatrix}\text{ and }b=e_1.$$What is the solution to the above system? We get the equations $x_2=-1$ and $-2x_3=0$, but what about $x_1$? Do we assign it a parameter or $0$? Why?
psie
it's a free variable
right, so is the solution x = t(1,-1/t,0) for t \neq 0 and x = (0,0,0) for t = 0?

✅
Isn't it kind of strange that the basis of the solution space is {(1,0,0),(0,-1,0)}? Doesn't this say that (1,0,0) should satisfy the equation, though v = (1,0,0) is an eigenvector to A, so (A-2I)v = 0, which isn't equal to v. Where am I reasoning incorrectly?
no it's not
The point isn't a vector of the basis
the solution space of (A-2I)x = e1 is not even a subspace of R^3 at all
if v is an eigenvector with eigenvalue 2, then Av = 2v, which is the same as (A - 2I)v = 0, not (A - 2I)v = v
right, but the equation is (A-2I)x = e1, and e1 was found to be one vector in the basis of the solution space, though I suspect that {(1,0,0),(0,-1,0)} is not a basis for the solution space?
but e1 is not a solution to (A-2I)x = e1
Right, so somewhere I'm not thinking correctly 😅
what was your reasoning to say that it was a solution?
btw, as Ann said, the solution set to Ax = b is not even a subspace when b is nonzero, so it doesn't make sense to talk about a basis
well, we found the solution to be x = t(1,0,0) + (0,-1,0). Isn't this a line in R^3?
sure, but it doesn't pass through the origin
so it's an affine subspace, not a linear subspace
in particular, it's formed by taking the null space of A and translating it by (0,-1,0)
(1,0,0) is in the null space of A
Ah, ok. The reason why I asked the question from the beginning was because I'm trying to find a Jordan canonical form of A, the matrix above. It has eigenvalue 2 with multiplicity 3, and e1 is basis for the eigenspace. So in a "cycle/chain of generalized eigenvectors", this is our first vector, since (A-2I)e1 = 0. Now, the second vector v, shouldn't it be the solution to (A-2I)v = e1?
yea that looks right, but note that the second vector v is only a generalized eigenvector, not an actual eigenvector, maybe that was causing confusion?
yeah, so since v = t(1,0,0) + (0,-1,0), do we pick v to be a vector on this line?
yep, any vector on this line

Hiii. I just want to check whether or not what I am saying is mathematically right, or not, just to check my understanding. The main focus I’m looking into are points on f(x). A turning point is classified as a point where the derivative of that point has an isolated zero and changes signs (or direction) at that point. A stationary point is just where the derivative at that point is 0 and where the function stops increasing/decreasing. A point of inflection is where the curvature changes sign and the second derivative is either 0 or undefined. However a point of undulation is where the second derivative vanishes but has no change in sign. Now, all turning points are stationary points but not all stationary points are turning points (like the ones where the derivative becomes + then 0 then + as seen in f(x) = x^3 at the point (0,0 in which case this is a stationary point of inflection). If the derivative at the point is 0 and concavity changes, then it’s a stationary point of inflection. Now onto a problem: What are the possible number of turning points of a polynomial, p(x) of degree n. So what I did for this problem was break it into n odd and n even and examine the polynomial at ±∞ by examining the term of the highest degree, which we will call ax^n, which we can do because for large |x|, p(x) is very close in some sense to ax^n (is there any rigorous proof of this?). So for when n is even we must have the sign at x→∞ the same as the sign as x→−∞ because this is true for ax^n (again looking for a rigorous proof). Now because turning points are points where direction changes, we can clearly see that there must be an odd number of turning points. Similarly for odd n, the sign at x→∞ is opposite the sign as x→−∞ so there clearly has to be an even number of turning points.
sorry for the long message, I’ll break it down if I have to one by one
big wall of text that is for sure
I’m so sorry, I tried to fit everything in one.
turning point needs the derivative to have an isolated zero??
Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s right. Is it not? Sorry, how would you say it?
just n - 1 because that’s the degree of p’?
y = |x|
hm, in a function with no cases that might be true, but it is not universal. Here's an example:
if f(x) is defined as x^2 for x<=0 and as -x^2 for x>0, x=0 can still be a turning pt even if the zero is not isolated (f'(x) can be zero at many points depending on how we take smoothing into consideration like gsc and stuff
doesn’t have to be a zero
but that's not applicable here
anyway, im getting off topic let me read the original question
the question is "what are the possible number of turning points of a polynomial p(x) of degree n"
if p has degree n then p’ has degree n - 1 and so it has at most n - 1 turning points
yes i agree it's n-1 then
also im gonna have to amend my statement because of this lol, it is not certainly true for a function with a single case either
single case?
