isn't all we want to do is find a case where |sin(1/x) - A | < epsilon not true
I want to set sin(1/x) = 1 and have |1-A| and then I would like to break it up in such a way that I could subtract 1 from epsilon. But then I run into what I did earlier
\li \ Now, this is the argument: Let $\varepsilon > 0$ be arbitrary. Assume that $\sin(1/x) \xrightarrow{x \to 0} A$. Then, since $x_n \to 0$ and $y_n \to 0$, we get [|\sin (1/x_{n})-A|<\varepsilon ] and also [|\sin (1/y_{n})-A|<\varepsilon] for large enough $n$ (because then $|x_n - 0| < \delta$ and $|y_n - 0| < \delta$ hold). But as we just calculated, that's [|1-A|<\varepsilon \quad \text{and}\quad |-1-A|<\varepsilon.] But also [|1-(-1)|=|1-A+A+1|\le |1-A|+|A+1|<\varepsilon +\varepsilon =2\varepsilon ] and so $2 < 2\varepsilon$, i.e. $1 < \varepsilon$. Contradiction!
Kepe
So yeah, with these two sequences I suggested we got the contradiction
give me a moment to digest this
Basically, the moment we found these two sequences, we "had" the contradiction already from what we calculated, we just had to mess around until it became rigorously visible
is it really sequences? because all you did was find to concrete values for sin (1,-1) and then you rewrite 2 as the two conditions for them to be continuous and show that 2 < 2epsilon meaning 1 < epsilon and then we can't have it true for all epsilon > 0
Yes, we needed sequences to get to this part in the first place
The < epsilon inequalities only hold when for what is inside of sin, 1/x, x goes to 0
So we had to let x go to 0, but in a nice way that gives us the contradiction
And we did that with sequences
isn't that the defintion of continuoity tho?
Continuity tells us that |sin(1/x) - A| < epsilon when |x - 0| < delta
We ensure |x - 0| < delta by making x -> 0
The continuity condition reads roughly as "sin(1/x) is arbitrarily close to A when x gets arbitrarily close to 0"
so your saying that the x-> 0 is part of sequences? but then how have I been doing limits if that is the whole concept of a limit? To make x -> a
Ok maybe I should phrase it differently: Contuinity tells us: [\forall_{\varepsilon > 0} \exists_{\delta > 0} \forall_{|x - 0| < \delta}: |\sin(1/x) - A| < \varepsilon.] Now, pick an $\varepsilon$, then we get a $\delta$. If we now pick a sequence $x_n$ that goes to $0$, then we can surely find alarge enough $n$, so that $x_n$ is closer to $0$ than $\delta$, right?
Kepe
And so beginning from those large enough n, the condition is fulfilled
And so |sin(1/x_n) - A| < epsilon holds, beginning from that n
ok so this is because x_n < delta?
Yes
but we have |x| < delta can't we find any delta that will satisfy this condition
if our |x| is bigger just find a bigger delta
Here, continuity is given. So we give an epsilon, and they give us back a delta that we know will satisfy "for all |x| < delta it holds |sin(1/x) - A| < epsilon"
If we had to prove continuity, they give us an epsilon and we give back a delta
ok so then you want to make sure that the values of x are less than the deltla they give us
Yes
ok one moment let me look through everything again
these are the x_n and y_n that we want to use right?
Yes
both x_n -> 0 and y_n -> 0 (so the argument we just talked about works with them)
But also sin(1/x_n) and sin(1/y_n) give different values (1 and -1)
if x_n -> 0 and likewise for y_n how can we get values for sin?
By plugging in
$\sin(1/x_n) = \sin\l(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2n \pi + \pi/2}}\r) = \sin(2n \pi + \pi/2) = \sin(\pi/2)$
Kepe
Ok I think I see it. Do you have any advice for solving problems in this area?
This here is a pretty standard trick, next time you see a similar problem you know you will want to construct sequences like this
The main step was finding a sequence that goes to 0 but also sin(1/x_n) = 1 for example
And then you just reverse-engineer
We could have also found one that made sin(1/x_n) = 1/2
And another that made it -1 or whatever
so find sequences that approach the same value as the point we are interested in
And then that would also give us a contradiction
Yeah, and the function evaluated on them should give a value independant of n and different from the other sequence
ok and then we show that epsilon cannot be greater than 0 but greater than something else positive
The contradiction comes from the assumed continuity saying it holds for all epsilon > 0
But in the end we conclude we must have epsilon > 1

Can someone explain why my working for Q4 is wrong and I don't get 9k^2
,w \int^{2k}_{k} (3x-2) dx=10
are you sure that you copied the question correctly?
because this answer is correct if you simplify it
@leaden seal
here is the verification of wolfram too 
just like how you did it
$\int_k^{2k}3x-2\ \dd x=\frac{3x^2}2-2x\big\vert_k^{2k}=(\frac{3(2k)^2}2-2(2k))(\frac{3k^2}2-2k)=\frac{9k^2}2-2k$

Does it follow from the definition of time-homogeneous processes that any time-homogeneous process
X(t_1) - X(t_0) (equals in distribution) to X(t_1-t_0) - X(0).
No right it just Tells me that X(t_1) - X(t_0) = Y(t_1-t_0) For some r.v. Y(t_1-t_0) but this feels so useless.
yes
by definition of time homogeneity the law of an increment depends only on its length
hence for any $t_1>t_0$ we can say $$X(t_1) - X(t_0) \stackrel{d}{=} X(t_1 - t_0) - X(0)$$
anflo
but remember that this is purely a distributional statement (not pathwise equality)
@uneven sandal Has your question been resolved?
ehm why should this be true?
writing $X(t_1)-X(t_0)=Y(h)$ is not weaker or useless, its exactly what equal in distribution means
anflo
the Y(h) notation just packages this family of increment laws
But Why can we write
$$X(t_1) - X(t_0) \stackrel{d}{=} X(t_1 - t_0) - X(0)$$
tobi
since by definition it only tells us that there exists a random variable Y(h)
because time homogeneity says the distribution of an increment depends only on its length
both increments $X(t_1)-X(t_0)$ and $X(t_1-t_0)-X(0)$ have the same length $t_1-t_0$ right?
anflo
so we can say their distributions are equal
but why subtract the constant X(0) ?
Oh
since we are only allowed to consider differences?
exactlyy
because $X(t_1)-X(t_0)$ starts at $t_0$ and $X(t_1-t_0)-X(0)$ starts at $0$
anflo
How can we say that the difference starts anywhere?
$X(t_1) - X(t_0)$ is the displacement of the car during the interval $[t_0, t_1]$
anflo
basically we "start" our stopwatch at t_0 and see how far it goes
a more general way to write that would be X(t+h)−X(t) is the change of the process over the interval [t,t+h]

i am thinking D but given answer is a WHY?
given answer is WHY?
A
ANY atmosphere is a "mixture of gasses"
scary words
lost me at statement
The reason needs to explain the assertion, which it doesn't (as Ann pointed out)
Even Venus's atmosphere is a mixture of gasses but you can't live there
Even A needs to specify solar system
no exoplanets are known to harbor life anyway
D is false causality because of other planets having an atmosphere with a mixture of gases
some are potentially habitable but we don't know if anyone's there
Well nvm
lowk dont want to take act science 😭
it should say “in the solar system”

Hi ok so
I’m doing a math question, I think its called a geometric progression?
The question isnt in english so I cant really provide it, but ill try to explain it
The common ratio is just ‘q’
I was given a1,a2,a3, etc
And also that they made a new sequence/series,
b1 = (a1/3), b2 = (a2/3), etc
According to google translate, they asked this
“Express the quotient of the new geometric series using q.”
How do I do that ?
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
Do you know what the quotient is?
i do not
I think theyre asking what the common ratio for the new sequence/geometric series is
Yes thats the quotient
oh
To find it, you divide the nth term by the n-1th term
im not sure i understand
Well what does the common ratio mean
its the difference between the numbers
Between 2 consecutive terms to be exact
yes
yeah
?
um i forgot how to
Both the numerator and denominator has a factor of 1/3
Oh
So i can get rid of it
Which would leave me with a2/a1
Which i already know equals q
So the common ratio would be the same?
ohhhhh
i see
thank you :)
Np
how do i close it

Here it is enought to say cos(n) doesn't converge to 0, right
I believe so yes.
had a few more answers I wanted checked. Here I can use the comparison test with 1/n^2
yes
no
( I know I was doing series of functions in #real-complex-analysis , but I just realised I haven't practiced many problems on series, sorry)
u can have negative terms
oh right
but you can show it converges absolutely i think
hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm
I thought that's what you meant anyhow
tsk tsk
Last two questions for now
for 8, follows from the product rule for series
for 9 a counter example is the series a_n=1/n^2
The product of two convergent series is convergent and is the product of the individual limits
i am assuming you mean something like this?
That's not what's happening here though
a convergent series with all terms >0 is also absolutely convergent
but ah yea the product here isnt exactly the same lol
hmm? $\sum a_n \cdot \sum a_n = \sum a_n^2$
(x + y)(x + y) = x^2 + y^2?
no
That's basically what you've written here
thats not quite right
isn't that what's going on here though....
at least not with the cauchy product definition of product of series
$\left ( \sum a_n \right ) \left ( \sum b_n \right ) \neq \sum a_n b_n$ in general
yes
jewels!
As a hint, you know that if $\sum a_n$ converges, then $\lim a_n = 0$
jewels!
That's not really necessary, but sure
Do you think a^2 will converge
hint: ||\sum a_n^2\leq (\sum a_n)^2||
$\abs{ a_{n+1}^2+a_{n+2}^2+ \dots+ a_{m}^2}< \sum_{i=n+1}^{m} \abs{a_i}^2$
my idea now , yea
yes
Well I was thinking more along the lines that a_n is less than 1 from some point onwards
wai
mhm
what
How do you guarantee that without the minus terms we can still converge?
triangle inequality
the problem assumes a_n is positive
Oh
I mean I get its not needed
Then yeah term by term it’s smaller so it’ll converge
I think I get it from here, we say this is less than m eps as (a_n^2) converges
and thus the sum converges
This isn’t true you need equality
But also both sides just say the same thing
hmm, yea
They are in fact equal when a_n > 0
and then this works?
Can you be more clear
You can't have the epsilon-bound depend on m or n
wait, why not
Well
Be more clear
Real analysis is about being precisely anal about every detail
So to sweep everything under the rug like you did here goes directly against the spirit of RA
And then again
Yes it’s a hassle to write out all the details but that’s the point of RA
I have an idea, I'll work on it and post it in a bit
Yea, got it
Thanks so much everyone!

i dont know how to start
i thought of using that angles bisected by B are equal
so we can equate that tan theta = (m2-m1)/(1+m1m2 formula)
but i dont have enough info for that
need a sec to see if I can do it first, but have you tried drawing it?
yea i drew it..cant send the diagram rn
just send it
have you found the coords of B?
i mean i know that B is on the angle bisector so B is (alpha,alpha)
not alpha
bruh the whole question is find coords of B
but yes, (t,t)
plug x=t, y=t to 2x-y=2
its quite easy to find A and C using diagram and this property
i am going to scream
ohh bruhh
same 😭
that theorem isnt that helpful imo
i remember learning this but i have never used it once
in this problem at least, its a pretty good theorem
yeah..anyway could u tell me how to proceed without that if u know?
you know the coordinates where the angle bisector meets the opposite side AC
my bad
yes (2,2) thats the first thing i found
so i dont feel completely useless, heres a diagram to find the point given the angle bisector and the two other points
i have to go though
oh alr alr nw 👍 thanks for helping
You could find C using the triangle angle bisector theorem sent above
^^
Is this for jee?
ye
I see
@slow thorn now distance formula with condition 2AB = BC?
Just a few mins ill brb
yyup
no uh didnt you already use that like right now
you need B using this
no i used that theorem u sent..now im asking if i should use it with the points
I'm a jee aspirant too, i tried to do it but I got C as 1,0 🤷🏽♀️

Let X ~ N(m, A) be a normal random vector. My book says that if det A = 0, there is no density, and if det A > 0, there exists a (unique) density. Why is this true?
Obviously A is (not) invertible in the latter (former) case, but I don't understand how the covariance matrix relates to density.
well
you can derive
the density
dependent on det(A)
being non-zero (and positive)
that's the short answer

i just need help on where to start
for part a i ahvent learnt dot product so i cant use it
bro i ahte vectors so much man
@flat veldt idk if u wanted to help but u did !volunteer so ehre
That's just a command for the bot
How have you defined perpendicularity
we havent
thats what i tried to do in my first step lol
its meant to be like a challenging q
?
they heavent taught you product of 2 vectors right?
but in the question they are doing ab-ba and dont state which product is it
you can, dot product is the only way i can think of rn
wdym
i think b and a are just some scalar quantity not vectors
theyd be bold if they were vectors
like they heavent taught you the product of 2 vectors yet in the question itself they are using product of 2 vectors
read the first line
you could use trig i guess
oh good point
how
the question is not stating from what set a and b are so you could make a lil sketch
in a 2d plane
i did that
can u show?
ok let him cook
Bcus the psheet that i got set had some second year stuff in it i ahd to self teach
the ans/mark scheme doesnt use dot product
am i cooked
@brave berry Has your question been resolved?
Your diagram is not correct
Draw it with a and b having different magnitude to avoid getting mislead
I do not think you need the dot product because you can reason about it purely geometrically
Note that the notation is horrid, it's asking you to do (length of b)(a as a vector) - (length of a)(b as a vector)
Yes. It's hidden above where it tells you OA = a
And they're using bold a to mean the vector and non bold a to mean OA which is just the |a|
Like how do u define perpendicularity geometrically
Well you should be able to say something concrete about |a|b and b|a|
There's something very clearly special about those two vectors
That they have in common
well
Okay so
Ill do A, B as the lengths and
a b as vectors
Bcus i cant rlly do it any better as text
It might help to draw it out with like trying to make a 1/3 the length of b
Or vice versa
That way your diagram will actually be less misleading about what's going on
Ok pnr sec
Ill be completely honest i havent got a clue
isnt it |b|a and b|a|?
Other than theyre relative to O
What's the magnitude of |a|b?
Yes
i was thinking that but i wasnt too sure
So in your diagram you drew b and a have the same magnitude but it's actually the new vectors that do
wait in the diagram OC is perpendicular to AB right?
so theres another similar triangle with sides ab and ba
In his diagram it is but that is not given by the problem statement.
no i think its part of the problem statement
cause then you can use triangle law
The problem statement says it bisects the angle
Wait what? ba-ab is just a null vector
It is not
It is, bruv
nah notation is weird its |b|a - b|a|
It represents something concrete relative to |a|b - |b|a
Oh okay
a and b are not the same magnitude so the picture is wrong but also "correct" once you view it as the vectors a|b| and b|a|
Basically that's the triangle we need to make not the one we are given
is this correct or am i just losing my marbles
Depends what you mean by similar. It's not similar to the original triangle, but it's similar to your diagrams triange
oh so its not mathematically similiar?
And the vector magnitudes being equal tells you it's isosceles
The original triangle was not guaranteed to be isosceles but the new one is
how does this help us
What do you know about the bisector of the angle (between the two equal sides) of an isosceles triangle?
Draw it out and do some basic algebra on the angles if you have to
it splits it into two triangles with equal hypotenuse?
alr one sec
You used the word hypotenuse there which is only relevant when?
And you are asked to prove?
that ba - ab is perpendicular to c
is that the proof?
Can you see how that's the same thing as those two right triangles?
kind of
im a bit
ok so
the fact that we have two right triangles
how does that prove that the vector c is perpendicular to ba - ab?
i get that the bisecting line would be the
like
the straight edge of the two triangles
Do you get what ba - ab is geometrically?
is it just the vector |b|a - |a|b
And c is the angle bisecotr
yes
As given in the problem
yes
but how do u know that the bisecting line creates two right angled triangles with the same length of base?
like
do u get what I mean
That's where the triangle being isosceles is important
ohhhhhhhh
ohh
bcus a right angled triangle with two equal sides has to be like
the same?
What if it's not
It's easily verified with some basic algebra on the angles if you draw out the diagram and use angles you know are the same
It's already proven to be isosceles
but if b > a in our original triangle it wont make an isoceles triangle?
That's why we are working with the new triangle
The |b|a and a|b| one
Not the original one
Their magnitudes are equal yea and yeah they are the sides
ok i get that bit now
but so ur saying
lets say the bisected angle = theta
ur saying that this is true no matter what theta is?
like within the ranges of our question
bcus what if theta is some weird value where the bisecting line doesnt create two equal right angled triangles
Yes. You can prove it geometrically (putting aside the question for now) that the angle bisector of an isosceles triangle is perpindicular to the third side
I recommend working thru that first if it confuses you. Draw out a diagram, label which angles are equal, and consider which ones sum to 180
wait
nvm
im a bit stupid
i just like
visualised it for a sec
ur righ
like
wait
it makes sense now
how do u spot stuff like that
Experience
aura
A series like art of problems solving will have more focus on that kind of stuff than something in your normal curriculum
Ye
Aops is sort of an alternative mostly highschool level math textbook series that goes into the same topics but in much heavier detail with much harder problems
whats like the furthest extent subjectwise that they cover
You don't really need this isoceles logic. You can just show that cos ac = cos bc because angles are the same
Meaning
$\frac{\mathbf{c} \cdot \mathbf{a}}{|\mathbf{c}| , |\mathbf{a}|} = \frac{\mathbf{c} \cdot \mathbf{b}}{|\mathbf{c}| , |\mathbf{b}|}$
a handsome russian dude
He said at the start he didn't want to use the dot product
Okay
Cause not covered yet
wait
Calculus but the non calculus parts cover way way way more than a standard curriculum
wdym non calculus partts
like methods within calculus e.g integration via partial fractions?
Like their algebra book will teach you way more techniques than a normal high school course
this is the cover right?
perfect

This just seems bashy
Lol
this feels unbelievably contrived
Average JEE problem ( I think this is JEE?)
the "July 29, 2022(II)" suggests it's a past JEE mains question
It is
Maybe
brb, don't let dis close
do you like
rotate the diagonal 45 degrees
or something
ive been staring at this for too long
like surely there are not this many trig functions if not for some contrived rotation
average jee problem
jee in july 
M back
oh, i forgot about covid entirely oops
Then
I feel like we can find a
We're stuck with slopes m1 and m2
chug that point into the equation
if it does not lie on that line then
Its distance would be a*sqrt{2}/2
No we can't
why not
It'll make the equations and the point independent of α so you can actually plot it and work from there
I bet we can still find the slope of the diagonal lines
Got it
Yeah
So that line isnt satisfying that point right?
yeh yeh
But we know which line will satisfy it
Who wants to place chess with me
The line just perpendicular to that line
it sure is
Hmmm.
We can find its equation
Yes
After undoing the rotation, you just get one vertex at (10, 10), and the diagonal is x + y = 10
This makes the other diagonal x = y
igtg
How
Do you know the rotation matrix?
It seems a bit chaotic here, one helper at a time should be more helpful, Im out
I don't think the question is telling us to use rotation
No
Hmm alright
Listen
Makes it a lot easier though
Yes
.
Shifting and rotating the coordinate axes is in the JEE syllabus though 
It is
Yep
Then why not just get rid of α like Jewels said
But they teach matrix at the end
Right but you have SOME formula for rotating the axes I'm sure
It's just better expressed as a matrix
Lemme see
Hmmm. Right ts makes sense
Makes a lot easier

So I want to show $\sum_{i=1}^{ \infty} \frac{1}{n(n+1)}$ converges.
My idea simply is to look at the partial sum $\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{i(i+1)} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{i} -\frac{1}{i+1}= 1- \frac{1}{n+1}$.
The definition of the sum of a series IS the limit of this partial sum. So we look at $\lim_{n \to \infty} 1 - \frac{1}{n}=1$. As the limit of the partial sum exists and is finite, the series converges.
wai
telescoping?
Seems to be, I think that's essentially what I've done.
that works, could also do comparison with a p-series
Oh before I forget , no comparsion test
oh nvm

I know I've done this before, but I don't think I really understood it then , so I'd like to try again
Showing $(I \cap J)$ is an ideal of $I$ is pretty easy so I won't do it again
wai
Just want to be sure as my proof depends on this, I+J need not be ring, does it
υἀκυβρος
oops
right
I was thinking we start off by considering an injective homomorphism $\psi: I \to I+J$.
Further define $\phi(r(I \cap J)) = \psi(r) J$
I then believe this map is an isomorphism b/w the two rings
wai
I was more thinking of
$\phi : I \to I+J/J$
with $\phi(i) = i + J \quad i \in I$
and then said it is a ring homomorphism and find the ker to apply first theorem

✅ Original question: #help-49 message
You mean $(I /(I \cap J) \to (I+J) / J$ right
wai
The kernel is {0} is it not
well i start with I -> I+J/J and then i find that the ker of it is I \cap J and this result to this being an isomorphism by first theorem
since phi : I -> I+J/J is a surjective homomorphism with ker I cap J
oh right
you have i in I and so by this you have phi(i) = i + J = J (0 of I+J/J)
noted
yea, okay
then 1st theorem conclude
so I/(I \cap J) iso to im(I+J)/J
here, I'm just trying to figure out why it is (I+J)/J and not I/J
well thats the theorem
Closed by @twilit field
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
the quotient I/J doesnt make sense since J is not necessarily a subset of I let alone an ideal of I

What to do
Question
C of 9
!noping
Please do not ping individual helpers unprompted.
He has said that ping me that's why I had pinged him
in case you're open to help from others: take a look at 9a. and also consider parallelograms ABCD, AGED and DEFH.
I know those theorems but from where do I start?
I don't see anything to start
9a says: parallelograms standing on the same base and between two parallel lines are equal in area.
like this is simply reading off the given answer of 9a in square brackets
or it would come from your knowledge of the theorem
you wish to prove that some two other parallelograms are equal in area
they dont share a base nor a pair of parallel lines as sides, so you can't do it directly
but i am giving you here a link between them
what could i be suggesting here?
think about it.
if i say anything more i will spoil the question for you.
Now I'm stuck to equal ADH and EFG
there is no need
hi bro
Hii
aight well i will leave yall to it then

Other then that maybe some trig identities can help
idk what that is
