try 35.0
also wrong
lmfao
i will try contacting the teacher who gave me this bc i found 3 like mistakes on her website
yes?
that's js the total area of all the triangles
but we wanna find the area of the shape inside
so we gotta subtract the 35 from the area of the rectangle
how
which is...
subtract 35 from which area?
The purpose of this server is to help you learn, not to hand out answers. Do not ask someone to give you the answer directly.
Look at the right side of the rectangle, the full dimensions are given
Look at the bottom side of the rectangle, the dimension is given
Apply rectangle area formula
hate when ppl just come on my help channel and say the answer
35x8?
goes against mathcord rules too 
what's the height of the rectangle?
10
Tada
35x10/2?
wh-where is the 35 coming from
the stuff we did earlier
ignore that for now
do i just need to 10x8/2?
and you just subtract the 35 to get...
yeeee :DDD
what shaded regions
The triangles
do i still keep this channel open bc i got more questions like this
if you have questions about them, ofc!
need to finish this first and then ill come back to u
im sure u wont unless u want to send me a gpt answer
yeah, I'm very sorry but I feel we have to

@mortal mirage here
I'm very sorry mrx, but violating the TOS is not acceptable
no way kid in discord sounds crazy
i tried doing 4 shapes
i think u also need another rectangle shape?
actually i could do more
right?
finding the area of the whole thing?
ya
you could consider subtracting something rather than adding them all up
it's just a rectangle with a corner cut off, no?
i.e. find the area of the big rectangle and then minus the corner
Something is wrong with the shape
The height of the triangle with sides 2cm and 3cm is 3cm
Adding that up spontaneously with the 3cm remaining width of the rectangle gives us 6cm
Which is clearly greater than 5 cm and is not an expected rectangle
yea, you sure this diagram's accurate?
2 parallelograms and a trapezium
it wont let me do those except for triangle and a square
will that work?
how do u know?
.
Naturally*
ah
I mean, just adding up the height of the triangle and the left width of the rectangle makes it disproportional to the right width of the rectangle which shouldn't be
but its the length of the side of the paralellogram
hi im new
I've been watching this
It's the left most parallelogram that gives both sides 3cm
it's not disproportional
im not getting anything from u
bruh
😭
alr
not u
ill take a break and come back later 🙂
thanks for help @mortal mirage @fathom onyx

The triangle with 3cm height when completed forms a square, not a parellelogram

Hello everyone, if anyone can help i'll be forever grateful, for contexte i am currently in last year of psychology masters and need help with some statistics. I tried doing a meta-analysis using 14 different studies. Each study has a pre and post mesure for the treatment group AND the control group. Those studies need to get standartised for me to be able to compare them. So at the moment i am trying to find the effect size of each study (+combined effect size). Therefore I thought i should use hedges-g, and with jamovi (or even jasp... all the software i tried) i cant compare this many measures, which lead me to look for another way. I found this Meta-analysis similar to mine using this formula but the result is ......off :/ am i in the wrong? is there an easier way to find what I'm looking for? how do i compare the studies (with 2 moderators)? If anyone can help, unblock just a bit i would be sooooooooooo grateful. also i will send the screenshots of the formulas and methodology i found (Ayuso-BArtol et al. 2024 and Morris, 2008)
If you need any other info dont hesitate to lmk, THANK YOU
yoooo u do psych
yayyyy unfortunately i have to do statistics lol

how the hell is this even solved
$x^4+\frac{1}{x^4} = \left ( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)^2-2$
Can you do something from here
wai
Try applying the same idea to simplify x^2+1/x^2
.
idk how
$\left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)^2-2$
wai
can you see why this is true
i cant
is it really that much easier than direct computation tho
not really
Yeah, it cancels quite nicely, thats true
so yeah, I would say its easier
Have you tried expanding it?
i dont even know how
my maths teacher didn't teach us shit
$x^{4}+2+\frac{1}{x^{4}}=(x^{2})^2+2\cdot x^{2}\cdot\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\left(\frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)^{2}$
Do you understand why this is true?
MathIsAlwaysRight
i just rewrote x^4 as (x^2)^2, 1/x^4 as (1/x^2)^2 and 2 as 2*x^2*1/x^2
if you mean this, then i can write it like that because x^2 and 1/x^2 cancel
so you are left with 2, which is what we began with
makes sense
After that, it's in the form a^2 + 2ab + b^2
and that equals...?
a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = ?
it's (a + b)^2
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
this is one of the formulas you should definitely remember
And $x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}=\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{2}-2$ can be proved in exactly the same way, try it

@rare maple Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
what did you try so far
Could u use brackets
you should verify for small $n$, but it looks like $a_n^2$ for large $n$ is approximately $a_{n-1}^2 + 2$. so you can approximate for large n
riemann
^ You can show that ||2n-1<a_n^2<2n+ln(n)||
@rare maple Has your question been resolved?
the approximation gives me root 149
i am not sure how to get this upper bound
,calc floor(sqrt(149))
Result:
12
looks good
Square the recursion and then bound by harmonic series

what
find all integers which are equal to 11 times the sum of their digits
0
is one
u probably know why
it has to be a 3 digit number
Let the number be (100a+10b+c), where (a, (b), (c) are digits.
(a+b+c) sum is
Set up the equation(100a+10b+c=11(a+b+c))
there are no bounds given in the question and please tell why it has to be 3 digit number
well
its almost impossible for a number *11 to be 4 digit
the sum of digits then has to be more than 90
and 9999 greatest 4 digit number has a sum of 36, not close to 90
got it?
oh wbt 5 digit numbers
same thing for 5 digits

Hi! the question asks to consider a rod of plasma of length $l$ and radius $a$ where $l >> a$, having equal positive and negative charges and a current $I$ flowing through it. The force from its own magnetic field makes it so that the radius becomes smaller. Suppose that the rod is in equillibrium of forces, the the pressure $p(r)$ follows the eq $$\dv{p}{r} = -\beta \frac{I^2 r}{a^4}$$, i am to determine the value of $\beta$
Copter
is this more suited for the physics server ;-;
yes...
i wouldn't consider myself to be illeterate in pphysics but i didn't know that plasma generates its own magnetic field
meh probably a translation error
oh yeah
Plasma is formed when a gas is heated to such a high temperature that electrons are stripped from atoms (ionization occurs), producing positive ions and free electrons. These charged particles can move freely, giving plasma a high electrical conductivity.
When plasma is placed in a magnetic field, it will move under the influence of forces from both the external magnetic field and the field generated by its own motion. In the case where we consider plasma in a cylindrical configuration with an electric current flowing along its length (z-axis), under suitable conditions, the magnetic field will pinch the plasma into a smaller radius. This phenomenon is called the Z-pinch.
the earlier question was to determine the force acted upon a small volume of the rod (subtending an angle delta theta, width delta r and delta l in length)

Question number 3
I want to first understand the question properly
What type of elements will appear in HK?
H and K are given non empty subsets of abelian group G
Suppose If I take klien group order 4
HK = {xy | x ∈ H, y ∈ K}
multiplication within the group
Okay fine
so HK is closed under multiplication
Or let me check first
H={a}
K={b}
HK={ab}
Yes it will be closed
HK will be subgroup of G yes?
don't forget to include the identity element in your groups
a and b are?
elements of klien group
then none of H, K, HK are closed under multiplication.
But i am only taking subsets
Huh how?? They are having elements of G {e,a,b,ab}
e does not belong to {a} nor to {b} nor to {ab}
Yes but we need to check it for HK only
HK is not subgroup because of identity
HK is subgroup so it will have identity and HK so
We must need H and K are having identity
And if H and K have identity then it will automatically become subgroup
So. H and K must be subgroups of G
Am I right ann ma'am
your reasoning doesn't justify why a subgroup and a subset with the identity is insufficient
Could you get outside of closure with a subgroup and a subset?
No we can't
let's say you choose H to be a subgroup and K to be a subset, let e and a be a member of K but a*a not in either K nor H. then HK will have the identity but will not have closure because we can escape by mutliplying the element a contained in HK
I didn't understand properly what is your subset and subgroup
@atomic granite
K={e,a} and what is H?
let us assume that we have G = Z_6 H = {e,5} and the inherented operator and K={e,2}

ahmm
guys
can anyone explain
why there are (N-1) !
permutations
in a circle
circular permutations
you can always rotate the circle so that e.g. the 1 is at the top
and then you are just permutating the rest
ABC =BCA=CAB in a circle
i mean
Do u mean (n-1)!/2?
its in the topic
so i thought you guys would know it
its
when
clockwise and anticlockwise arrangements
are not distinguishable
Yes
Seems like u know it what is the problem
i didnt get the theory
because 2 different permutations before are now considered the same
can u elaborate
Take a necklace for example
you have to divide by two because you have to account for the fact that all reflections are the same
A B and B A
C C
are the same
write out all permutations on a circle for n=5
well I kinda meant on a paper
and actually on circles
and with the 1 always at the top
well you can also do 3 at the top
yea i know
then whats the problem
I dont want you to write down the same permutation multiple times
and you dont want to do that either
that would be a lot of writing
huh
you can fix one person and arrange the rest
the rest is n-1
so the permutation is (n-1)!
Because of rotations
it's quite confusing every times I explain it
say it regardless ill try
So basically the rotation makes it overcount right? then stop it
fix one person make it that others can't rotate
so ABCD, DABC, CDAB, BCDA are all the same
Then you have to divide the n! by n ...
Because you can rotate up to n times and still have the same distribution
Try to think for a while, don't rush. I mean, take your time to see it with small examples (like n=3 and n=4)
if we consider the arrangement of numbers like this in a circle
this is one arrangement in a circle
but in a line or a row it is n different arrangement
i took numbers upto 5 so 5 different arrangements in a line
fix one number and permute the rest ( arrange the rest)
so we get p number of arrangements in circle total
so total linear arrangement or permutation np=n!
p=n!/n
where p denotes the circular permutation
is this it

Hi teachers, why is an empty set an open set according to the definition?
R is open because (-infinity, infinity) is a open interval, and this implies empty set is closed
Is there any similar way to prove that an empty set is still open?
like, by using intervals
it's open directly from the definition: for every x in emptyset, [condition on x]
there are no xs, so the universal quantifier is vacuously satisfied
in more detail, a statement of the form "for all x in X, P(X)" is really hiding an implication: "for all x, x in X -> P(X)", and implications are satisfied when their premise is false
R and the empty set are simultaneously open and closed ("clopen")
@clever holly Has your question been resolved?
so the premise:= \forall x \in X is false, so the statement is correct according to implication
is that correct?
the premise is x in X
where X is the empty set, so x can't possibly be a member of it
the quantifier binds least tightly, so:
open(X) = for all x (x in X -> P(X))
= for all x (false -> P(X))
= for all x (true)
= true

did i began the solution in the right way?
yes it is correct
as you have two variables x and y
you will need two eqns to solve for them
how can you get a second one?
no idea
can you tell me what x is?
the part of x invested under 15%
second one is wrong..i forgot to cut it
ohk
yes this feels correct
?
i think there might be, if you're the kind of person to want to avoid algebra
just a tip you should write what x is
because teachers might cut marks for it
speaking from experience
imagine you invest the whole sum into the 12% account, how much do you get?
,calc 12800 * 0.12 * 3
Result:
4608
but your actual total interest is 5085
now think what happens if you remove money from the 12% account into the 15% account
you gain an amount equal to 3%*3 = 9% of however much you transferred (or decided to put into the higher interest account to begin with)
,calc 5085-4608
Result:
477
9% of the amount transferred = 9% of the money put into the higher yield account = Rs. 477
,calc 477/0.09
Result:
5300
@keen saddle @worldly pine an alternative solution does exist
we have, only he did it algebraically while i spelled my reasoning out in plain English
Tomato tomato
well there is also the thing where op is slightly scared of decimals and so puts all percentages as fractions with denominator 100
I don't think that is true
It's just easier to carry out calc with fractions
any idea
how do i know this method i have to use.
i think my question is wrong

how do i start to approach this question mathematically?
do you mean to say that you have an approach but you do not consider it mathematical enough?
or that you don't have an approach to begin with
^^
ok
consider this: let each ant write a number in the corners of its visible faces -- 0 for a blue face, 1 for a red
zoom out and think what a blue face will look like after this labeling
and what a red face looks like
Is this MAT 2024
and think about the total of all written numbers
yes
Yeah I remember, I gave that paper
i dont get what you mean, how do you want me to label it
you.. gave ? the paper?
Yeah
As in I sat it
Yeah
Consider that every red face is seen by exactly four ants
So consider the sum of the number of red faces each ant can see
ohh okay i think i get it
its 4x the number of red faces
but how do we determine which ants see an even amount
of red faces
What if an odd number of ants say yes?
what do you mean label
you say write in the corner the number of its visible faces, 0 for blue 1 for red
no
uh
i mean that each ant writes 3 numbers
on each corner of a red face that it sees, the ant writes a 1
on each corner of a blue face it sees, the ant writes a 0
i am suggesting that you imagine the faces as physical, writable surfaces
okay im following
what will end up written on a red face when you zoom out?
then an odd number of ants see even number of red faces
1111
0000
right
so the total of everything the ants write will be 4 times the number of red faces
This is basically the same as what I said
yeah i get it
now the ants who say they see an even number of red faces see either 0 or 2
okay yeah
while the ones who say no would see either 1 or 3
think about the yes-ants' total and the no-ants' total
So can the sum be even?
The sum has to be a multiple of 4 but that’s no bueno if an odd number of ants say no
@hoary hamlet Has your question been resolved?
is there an obvious reason why this cannot be true bc just for example 20 is a multiple of 4
and also divisible by 5
i kinda get what youre saying but like just as an example
i understand the question but how would you determine the amount of ants that say yes or no in this case given that yes ants see 0 or 2, and no ants see 1 or 3
Why does this matter?
If an odd number of ants say no, then the sum of the number of red faces the ants see must be odd
To find out the parity of a sum of integers, you only need to know the parity of the number of odd numbers
Because adding an even number doesn’t change the parity
whats parity?
Odd or even basically
oh wait
i think im onto smth
bc if an odd number of ants see an odd number of red faces
its odd * odd which is odd
is that the logic here
Yes
you also have to add the contribution of thr ants who see even number of red faces
But it goes back to the fact that adding an even number doesn’t change the parity
Exactly
YES
im so smart
fr
okay wait lemme see
so the question asks why an even number of ants see an even number of red faces
we eliminated an odd number of ants seeing odd number of red faces
what about the other 2 cases? even number of ants seeing odd number of red faces
or odd number of ants seeing even number of red faces
Remember that there’s a total of 8 ants
wait ive been thinking about this for like a long time
idk if this is the correct way of thinking
but if theres 8 ants, and each can see 3 sides
then the total amount of sides that can be seen is 24
so then you go from there?? or no
@hoary hamlet Has your question been resolved?
Part 1 hint:
||For the first argument you can just consider inductive base to be there are no red faces, and inductive step to be flipping color of a face (given an arbitrary starting coloring).||
Another part 1 hint:
||Then consider the 4 ants at the corner and they were saying either:
- 4 no-s, 0 yes
- 3 no, 1 yes
- 2 no, 2 yes
- 1 no, 3 yes
- 0 no, 4 yes
Show that none break parity||
And clearly you can get where you want using inductive step now
Actually idk if that's too much of a hint, so i spoilered it just in case
Part 2 hint:
||Construct an example, duh||
Actually if you want to properly formalise p1 ||you should say you are only allowed to go blue -> red, that way you get to order them simply by the number of red faces||

Hi teachers, in class, our professor proved that:
how can i prove, if a set open and closed is, then the set should be one of them
a subset of R you mean?
the general gist is that, supposing the open and closed set is not empty, we have to prove it's R
so take A a non-empty open and closed subset of R
and let's go prove every real number is in it
so take a an element of A
and x an element of R that isn't a
we'll treat the case a < x first
what happens if you consider the set $T = {b\in A,, b \leq x}$?
Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII
tell me all you can about the set T
well, i don't understand why we're introducing a new set T 😭
it'll be relevant soon
then x is the sup(T)?
well x is an upper bound of T
but we have no idea if x is the supremum
(that's what we're going to prove though)
first of all, why does T have a supremum
what do we need for existence of sup(T)
wait a sec Master Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII, i need to figure out first: we are dealing the set A right now, ain't it?
we picked a subset A of R
has these properties
and we're trying to prove it's R
because remember we're trying to prove emptyset and R are the only open and closed subsets of R
so if a set that's open and closed is not empty
it should be R
set A
set A
and is like this
so we pick some random element a in A
and now we want to prove A = R
so... trying to prove A contains every real number x
uh-huh
so pick x at random
let's show it's in A
we're gonna do first case scenario: x > a
and then we'll deal with x < a
is that alright so far?
yes
ok
in this first case
we know there are elements of A below x
mm-hmm
because a is one of them
yes
so an idea would be to look at every element of A below x
and maybe find out stuff about the supremum of that set
Let's say we manage to prove x = sup(T)
what could we do with this info?
x <= sup(T) and x>=sup(T)?
uhhh
I think you're mixing up "how do we prove x = sup(T)"
with "what do we do KNOWING that x = sup(T)"
If I'm wrong please tell me
I want to focus on this
how could knowing that x = sup(T)
help us with showing what we want
meaning x is in A
here's a hint: we can rewrite T as $T = A \cap (-\infty,x]$
Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII
what kind of set is T?
no... not quite
a < x actually
that's what we started with
what is ♾️ +♾️
A is both open and closed, I'll give you that
!occupied

but (-infinity,x]
is that open, is that closed?
in my script, it's not open nor closed

(a,b] or [a,b) when a and b are both real numbers is neither open nor closed
but when one of the bounds is infinite...
what will it be 🥹
i did miss this point...
look for the definition of "closed"
closed means not open
no
Not with sets
you clearly said there are sets that are neither closed nor open
And yes, I realise it's a shitty definition
look again for the correct definition
yee
(x, +infinity)
yes
wait, i should remember this
it's that closed? because a<x
i have no idea what am i doing right now 😭
(-infinity,x] is closed
A is closed (among other things)
so yes
closed intersected with closed
gives us closed
T is closed
so... do you see how it's going to be used?
not really
right now we're supposing that we managed to prove x = sup(T)
😟
so x = max(T)
yes
so x is in T
so x is in A
and we win
because that's what we wanted to prove
I can do a recap if you want to
of what we said so far
yes
We want to show emptyset and R are the only open and closed subsets of R.
So naturally, if we take an open and closed subset of R that isn't empty, then it should be R.
That's exactly what we're gonna prove now:
take A a non-empty open and closed subset of R
and let's go prove every real number is in it
give yourself a in A
and let's first show every real number x > a is in A.
let T = ...
T is closed
....
[Work in progress here]
....
we proved x = sup(T)
but T is closed, so x is in T
so x is in A.
Now similar proof for when x < a...
does that make sense?
i maybe understand the idea already
if we take an open and closed subset of R that isn't empty, then it should be R.
this one is delightful
so we continued to consider the x > a and x < a
@clever holly Has your question been resolved?
wait an hour
@clever holly Has your question been resolved?
Wut u studying @clever holly
We want to show emptyset and R are the only open and closed subsets of R.

and let's first show every real number x > a is in A.
let T = { t | t \in A, t \leq x }
T is closed, because (x, +infinity) is open.
try to prove x = sup(T)
...
we proved x = sup(T)
but T is closed, so x is in T
so every x is in A, therefore, no elements greater than A: (a, +infinity)
Now similar proof for when x < a to have conclusion that: (-infinity, a)

x becomes to the supremum of T, and T is a closed, so T contains x
for every x, they're in A, therefore, there is no x > A
analog. x < A
then A = R

ok maybe dumb but how do you write/prove the fact that if n is an odd number and there are n seats in a round table, if you choose atleast (n+1)/2 then there will be two chosen that are adjacent to eachother
it seems so obvious yet im kinda baffled by how you would prove it? can i just write it as is without proof
start with an even number of seats, choose every other one.
now take one (unchosen) away
ok fair, thank you!
👍
its basically just pigeonhole principle
the most you can choose w/ no adjacent for even n is half. if you remove any from there you necessarily put two chosen chairs together
yeah thats what i was expecting but i wasnt sure on how to pull it off
.solved thank you again

guys is there a formula for-
summation of k.k!, r tending frm 1, extending till n?
sure, there is a very simple way to express this
assuming you mean "k tending..." not r
:)
you can prove it, or guess it by trying n = 1, 2, 3. it will not take you long
if not, you can at least combine the k and k! together to make the sum slightly easier to read
yeah
there's another method to it frm wht ive heard
it's called the Vn method
u js write k as k + 1 - 1
and apparantly stuff cancels ou
out
but i don't know how to apply it
Have you tried doing it
Give it a go then

What did I do wrong
Must the wrong somewhere in the last two line
Without even looking at the math, is it possible you forgot to make this region + ve?
It’s not tho right
op subtracted the cubic from the linear
I interpreted from -2 to 2
Integrated
idt the red thing is any issue
Oh yeah your right
Hey it’s u again I’m having trouble with that thing again
It’s 2am I’m being a dolt
Could you write down how you get to the second last line to the last line
this part
Ann can u send it
Idk how to do it
i dont get wtf you did
oh jeez.
did you try to use the formula for integrating (x-a)(x-b) from a to b.

$\int_a^b (x-a)(x-b) \dd{x} = -\frac16 (a-b)^3$
Ann
did you try to do this
This
Yes

my own thing
@digital ore instead of trying to recall any of 10 bajillion formulas you should just do the integration as normal tbh
claim your own channel then
yeah I thought so and I might do that from now on
it’s probably better

i would set the vertex of the parabola at (0,0)
so would get ${2 = a\left(\frac{3}{4} \right)^2 }$
k
But then I have to introduce a rectangle to my equations to find areas and I don't want to overcomplicate it 😓
why rectangle?
if Im finding area using integrals you get area under the graph
what did u determine the eq for the parabola to be
y=32/9x^2-2
Oh I did my graph wrong
...
nvm no i didnt
i just looks funny
the line y=k is a halfway point not the x axis
Like this
i think the water level is parralel to the x-axis so we should be integrating wrt y not x??

I've got log(x) = +-2 , log(y) = +-1, log(z) = +-7
How do I reason further?
I am particularly having trouble with checking and verifying what set of values I would get?
How do I know for one that this set, -2, +1, +7 doesnt form the eventual solution set?
