I need help with 5
have you been able to do (1)-(4)?
yep
close
you should not guess
you should be able to explain what step can get you from 2^3 = 8 to 2 = 8^(1/3)
i mean it is correct that 2 = 8^(1/3) im just unhappy that you explicitly said you guessed it
do you think you can write 8^x using 2 as base?
because 2^3=8 so if u want to reverse that, just take the cube root
im not sure what u mean
this is right
I meant you can write it as 2^3x right?
anyone can do 77777777*= in 10 second
what about the other side?
<@&268886789983436800> troll
maybe stop walking in circles tbh

Don't troll in the help channels please 
sniped :P
@shut mirage ok
#discussion and #chill exist
What soda would you like 
its not:(
we write any fraction for instance
1/n as n^-1
mb his all yourws
if you know 8^(1/3) = 2, you can reason from there what the power of 8 is for **1/**2
recall this.
@north scarab what do you think you can do with the power here?
you already have the clue
no
8^(-3) blows up the number
theres negatives other than the integers
just so you're interested, 8^(-3) is 1/512
oh I just did 8^(-1/3)=1/2 but I dont understand how it equates to 1/2, basically I guessed it
you already reasoned this out. from here it is just one more step
(s^(1/2))^2=s
what... has that to do with 2 and 1/2 being related as powers of 8?
did you guess again
Im recalling my laws
yes.
here.
uhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe don't, dude.
you know that the cube root of 8 (or 8 to the (1/3)th power) is 2.
you need **1/**2.
it's one step away.
to get 1/2?
any hints
^
yes
why was that so hard to spot
that's why the reciprocal button on your calculator is labelled x^-1
bc you're out of practice with exponent laws tbh
do u guys have any websites I could practice
these things need some amount of grinding in order to learn this particular pattern recognition
log laws and stuff with exponent laws
ig khanacademy honestly
however and whichever you choose
not one
one sheet isn't enough practice imo
- you specifically have a lot of shit to grind
if that sheet is insufficient, here's another
https://madasmaths.com/archive/maths_booklets/basic_topics/various/logarithms_exam_questions.pdf
but after this, learn to search for practice problems and do as many of them as it takes for you to be super confident

Hello, I am trying to figure out a certain game mechanic but its too complicated...
The game says that cold in a mineshaft increases every 100 ticks (with 20 ticks equal to 1 second), and that each point of cold resistance slows cold gain by 1 tick. For example, with 90 cold resistance, cold should increase every 190 ticks. When cold reaches 100, the player dies.
The mineshaft is supposed to make cold gain 25% faster, so survival time should be shorter. However, in practice, the game doesn’t behave this way. The information given by the game about cold gain is incorrect, it doesn’t actually calculate cold the way it describes.
The game sends BRRR! Cold! In chat between 15 to 16, between 35 to 36, 57 to 58 and 86 to 87.
This is the time where cold gained starts to increase faster, its either some of my information is insufficient or im missing out on something.

@craggy hemlock Has your question been resolved?
@craggy hemlock Has your question been resolved?
aw
Huh
Sounds interesting
Lemme read it again real quick
Should change time to ticks
Easier to process imo
Ok 30 mins break
Have to go
using this information cold gain rate increasing as the time passes and not just 25% constantly
Tbh it looks weird as hell
yeah it seems like there are places where the rate is pretty much constant (but somehow there are spikes)
how much did you repeat this experiment?
do you always get spikes in the same places?
it seems the spikes are fixed rather quickly, so my best guess is
"the cold level is calculated based on time spent, but only updated periodically"
and if so, this predicts that the location of the spikes should be "random"
it could be determined by lag, but idk
seeing the size of the lag, my best guess is network lag
@craggy hemlock
actionables:
- is it played over a network?
- collect a second set of data
huh... but network lag would go late then back on time
not early then back on time
that's weird
and the difference is seconds, so this can't be inaccuracy of a timer function
but the values are to 1/20th of a second, and chances are you recorded it with a screen capture?
could it be inaccuracies in the screen capture software?
the spikes should always be in the same place
i assume changing my cold resistance has effect on it
i could test that in the evening today
- yes
- will do this evening
i didnt record it, a person i know did
(he was cheating inside the gameplay with xray)
it could be SLIGHT inaccuracies
but its not likely
from what i know this game is very buggy and the wiki of the game usually have wrong information in it
it is a network with servers only in north america
therefore average player ping is 200ms
it isnt random for all i know, due to the times with certain cold resistances is always the same
and the game usually follows a certain formula
built on 1.8.9 minecraft (hypixel)
it most likely has to do something with the "brrr message"
since its the point where the cold gain gets faster.
there is also something weird with the small adjustments in speed between cold gain
of like a tick or two
but that could just be lag
ping is 200ms, probably explains most of the bumpyness
yup, but its consistent bumps at certain points as u might see
actually nevermind its 1 test
it could still be lag
let's get a second test to establish if the bumps are consistent
would be 5 hours 30min until i can get accurate tests of the same person
or should i run recording of my own
i could do it now i guess
from a different player can be a good idea
it would basically separate the stochastic explanations from the consistent explanations
okay
@craggy hemlock Has your question been resolved?
“The information given by the game about cold gain is incorrect” Average skyblock wiki moment
I think that the lag spike near 58 cold is making it unclear when it drops down, i think it drops after 59 starting the new level at 60
Nvm I just noticed you said brr happens at 58
I think the wiki is just wrong then? Maybe do the test a few more times ideally in an empty server
Gl with that btw
This is easy

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.
send the entire page ss so we can have some context
im guessing it's from the book by Gilbert Strang
yes
i don't think this is a question you're meant to actually answer yourself, it seems to me more like "these are the questions this section will answer"
yes +1 on this
i solved the first one
I tried putting different dimensions of v, first I put just 1 , then I got 1 dimension vector with 1 row , and 1 column thus 1 value, but when I tried putting the 2nd dimension, I got 2 dimesnion having 2 rows but one column,
but the second one was not proved
does this make sense tho...?
in fact it seems to me that the very next page is dedicated to providing the answers to the questions that were just raised?
Oh okay...
thanks, i thought those were questions for me to be solved, i will be more careful when asking questions, thanks

the questin says
solve thge inequality
and that k is a positive constant
idk what to do so i just whole squared both sides
hoping the x would cancewl out
but
i ended up with
$15x^2+26kx+7k^2>0$
V_ice
da hecc do i do now
wait
wait a minut
nope no idea
i was thinking of middle terming it
but
u cant get 26 from 105
oh wait
you can
oh wAIT
i cook
$(3x+k)(5x+7k)>0$
V_ice

LOL
nice pin
now wat
hmmmmmmmmmm
ive never solved a quadtraic inequality with two variable
s
you're solving for x
and the sign-change points are gonna be in terms of k
you dont "bring" anything anywhere
wdym sign change points
gonna be a hell no from me

Which of the following cannot be Fourier Series expansion of a periodic signal
Professor marked option b as correct.
I don't understand why are other options incorrect
all of the others are in fact periodic
while (ii) isn't because 1 and pi are incommensurate
(there is no rational common factor of 1 and pi)
Do you mean this ?? For context this is googles AI generated answer
How would I know if there were 4-5 terms ??
If I just have to take the ratios of coefficient of "t" and decide on the basis of rationality, how would I solve if there are more then 2 terms ??
you shouldn't trust AI, but yes that's what I mean
I don't thats the reason I posted it here
so cos t + cos(t/2) + cos(t/3) would work, cause a common divisor of 1, 1/2, 1/3 is 1/6
the issue comes from mixing rational and irraitonal numbers
cos(sqrt2 t) + cos(t) is not periodic
cos(sqrt2 t) + cos(e * t) is also not periodic
but cos(sqrt2 t) + cos(2 sqrt2 * t) is periodic
if you have even one irrational number, and the rest are whatever, except for something like $\cos(\sqrt2 t) + \cos(3 \sqrt2 t) + \cos(6 \sqrt2 t) + \cdots$, it won't be periodic

I totally forgot how you calculate with roots 😭
Can anyone remind me and tell me how it works again on this equation? Sure, you multiply them by the number outside, but how?
,rccw
this isnt an equation
this is an expression
what... exactly do you wanna do with this? @subtle sparrow
😔
Basically I need to multiply the number outside the () with the inside ones
But I totally forgot how that works with √
i would've liked to see some written instructions.
It's in an equation, I just took out the part idk and wrote it down
but ok, if you dont yet see how to multiply these, then simply write the multiplication as a multiplication.
$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \paren{2x - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 2x - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$
Ann
like, if you dont see immediately how this stuff simplifies then just dont.
write down the step where you apply the distributive property, and only THEN worry about what comes next.
Yes, idk how to proceed from here, I need to multiply them
well how would you simplify $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 2$ if you could let go of your rhizophobia for a bit?
I take math im french so I might not understand everything you're telling me
Ann
(||rhizophobia == fear of roots, but with greek words just for lulz||)
I have the answers, I just wanna know how to do it myself
i mean
again
for a start, you could just write down the multiplications
like yknow
lets set the roots aside
$3(4x+17) = 3 \cdot 4x + 3 \cdot 17$
Ann
do you agree this is legal to do @subtle sparrow
Yeah
right
so im saying for step 1 you should just write down $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \paren{2x - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 2x - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$ and from this point you see two clear avenues for simplification: $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 2$ and also $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$. do you agree?
Ann
I do
Ann
2√2/2?
I don't know
ok lets try to remove the scary element
how would you simplify $\frac{7}{9} \cdot 9$?
Ann
9×7/9
Ann
63/9 = 7,idk wym by reduce it
$\frac{9 \cdot 7}{9}$ simplifies to just 7 by cancelling out the 9's...
Ann
you would agree $\frac{ab}{ac} = \frac{b}{c}$ always (so long as $a, c \neq 0$) yes?
Ann
likewise $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot 2$ is \textbf{just} $\sqrt{2}$.
Ann
Right
and for simplifying $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ you will need to recall the definition of square root (racine carrée) to know how to simplify the $\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{2}$ at the top.
Ann
yeah so?
√2x?
sqrt(2)x
you should write it like this so there's not even a chance to confuse the x as being under the root too
when it isnt
you dont need to put the bottom as 4
@stiff lily where was that example of yours with the 123456789 cancellation
Then it becomes 1/2 no?
yes in the end it comes out as 1/2.

I am having issues understanding the following statement about linear independence for some vector sapce V, More specifically the last sentence, are they showing that a set containing a nonzero vector can't be linear dependent by contradiction?
yeah wait
lemme see
Also, why is it that $a^{-1}(au) = a^{-1}0$?
Pen
because $au=0$ by definition of linear independence
Cycadellic
not linear dependence?
ohp
thought linear independence was if there does not exist a nontrivial solution
sorry
let me be precise
a set of vectors ${v_1,...,v_n}$ are defined to be linearly independent iff for all scalars $a_1,...,a_n$
$$a_1v_1+...+a_nv_n\implies 0=a_1=...=a_n$$
Cycadellic
Yes
Yeah the statement is using a proof by contradiction to show that a set containing a single nonzero vector in a vector space V is always linearly independent
so, the setup for a proof by contradiction is to assume the negation of what you wish to show, and show a contradiction (or a false statement)
Ah, okay!
Okay, I was not being fuzzy then haha
Suppose you have a set
{u} where u ≠ 0
To say {u} is linearly dependent means there exists a nonzero scalar
a such that au = 0
yup
The last sentence manipulates this equation: If
au = 0 and a ≠ 0
then multiplying both sides by a^−1 (the multiplicative inverse of a), you get:
u = a−^1 (au) = a^−1⋅0 = 0
However, this implies u=0, contradicting the assumption that u is nonzero.
Therefore, such a nonzero scalar
a cannot exist, so the set is linearly independent
Missed that they multiplied both sides by a^-1, oopsie
Yup, all good now
Thank you Sonic and Cycadellic ❤️

is so insane
did you just wanna complain or did you have a specific thing to ask
i literally
dont get how he found the other solutions
i got the k=-8 and 8.25
but this circle thing i dont get one bit
If ABC is a right triangle, with right angle in A, then the circle that passes through points A,B and C has for center = the middle of segment BC
could u draw that please, i dont get what the middle of segment bc means
Let's use the drawing you already have
A = (5,k), B = (2,3), C = (9,-1)
and assume the right angle is at A
if we name I = (5.5,1) the middle of the segment BC
then the circle that passes through points A,B,C
is the one drawn in your image
and has center I

can this be just be done by saying that u = w and then u + 3x = w, x needs to be 0 vector
for 3x to be 0 vector
and by that x is unique
Is there a def for V
V is a vector space
Suppose v+3x_1=w, v+3x_2=w then get the zero vector from here and your result
who said u=w
is this to prove uniqueness x_1 = x_2?
okay wth lmao so i know there is two steps first is to show existence of a x such that the equation is satisfied
and then show that the x is unique
first step is done
and this can prove
the uniquness
both together proves it?
also i just realized that was bad because u and w can be different as well
i need to prove for all u, w

i didn't thought about proving it this way ugh
is this used often to prove the uniqueness
Supposing two things having the same definition and ending with them being equal is the most common method

How the theta is projected from the inclined to the arrowed triangle? I'm lil confused. The topic is Statics of Rigid bodies but its just trigo smthn.

Anyone know to solve this
Try finding the limit from different directions and see if they match
did you tried evaluating the limit of the first case when (x,y) is approaching (0,0)?
we can maybe use polar coordinates, just throwing the idea out there, though I havent tried it myself but might work?
for example for the path x = y, we get 2|y|^2 / 2|y|, no?
the limit of that, I mean
Perhaps try bounding the numerator by sth which will cancel with the denominator
are you even here @outer rock ? We need to know ur progress
@outer rock
equate f(0+) = f(0) i think that should do it
for the function to be continuous at (0,0) the lim (x,y)->(0,0) f(x,y) needs to be equal to f(0,0)
and for the limit of f(x,y) as (x,y) is approaching (0,0) to exist all paths need to verify the same value
@outer rock u here?
@outer rock Has your question been resolved?
See bro limit won't exist
Like anything we put it cant be equal to 10^2024
So basically what shud we put and check
Ye
Ye
think of a couple paths
what happens when m = 1 for y = mx^2?
Lemme check
what does the limit evaluates to?
How to take out mod 😭
try to draw in paper everything you are working on, in the exam you will need to write in paper, not in discord messages
How to proceed
,rccw
take m = 1
Ye 👍
?
Yep
you missed a x^2 in the denominator
Ye understood my bad 😭
well, first we can factorize by |x|
we can factorize by |x| in the num and in the denom
Ok
what do you get?
For showing is the function continuos
now, since this is a single variable limit, evaluate the lateral limits
Wym bud?
lim x -> 0^+ and lim x-> 0^-
So shud i keep value of x as 0
this is a limit as x is approaching 0, y is wrt to x, because y = mx^2 right? so I say take the lateral limits of x -> 0 because the absolute value is a piecewise
like, we are trying to see if the limit of f(x,y) as (x,y)->(0,0) approaches always 0 or if there is a path in which the limit does not evaluate 0, if we try a couple paths and see all of them go to 0, then we will need to proof the lim (x,y)->(0,0) of f(x,y) ALWAYS goes to 0 in order to show the f(x,y) function is not continuous on (x,y)=(0,0)
So what next
If I put x=0 then I get numerator 0
Denominator 1
take the lateral limits of this, see if the limit exists and if so verify it goes to zero from both sides
Bro wym lateral limits
this is a limit as x -> 0, so for example x = -0.0001 is a possibility, this is why I say, check the left limit and the right limit as x approaches 0
Ok
this is good enough, no?
Now we know that the lim as x -> 0 is 0
Now we check y=mx^2 which we get 0
is still possible that, that limit doesnt exist if the lateral limits dont coincide
So after this what we have to check
Like which value
how do you know that limit exists? |x| = -x when x -> 0^-,
are you claiming that we dont know whether the full (x, y) -> 0 limit exists or that we dont know that the x -> 0 limit exists (the one along y = mx^2)
latter
well, |x| is continuous, aint it? So we can plug in x=0, we get 0/1 and so the limit along y=mx^2 is 0
you dont need to check both sides just because of |x|
We don't know if modx is continuous
So is this wrong @drifting hornet
|x|^2 from the left is (-x)^2, but yeah the lateral limits seem to coincide to 0, so now that we checked that two paths coincide at 0, we can try to prove the f(x,y) limit approaches 0 always
its right, it's just that ur original approach was fine as well. (The one where you computed the two-sided limit straight)
Squeeze for what
we want to prove f(x,y) goes to 0 as (x,y) approaches (0,0) ALWAYS
for that we will need to find an upper bound and try to use this using either epsidelta or squeeze theorem
to prove the f(x,y) goes to 0 as (x,y)->(0,0)
Polar coordinates?
.
Can't we apply polar coordinates instead of saueeze
yeah, i think my approach is a bit simpler. Polar coordinates would be fine, if the denominator was nicer
there are a couple of approaches
you prolly can
it works too
but even if you end up using polar coordinates we still need to find an upper bound, no? in order to prove it using squeeze theorem
its actually not that bad
So we can't use polar?
if we use polar coordinates we write the limit wrt one variable r, if the limit is simple enough that we can directly show that this is approaching 0 always, then we might not need squeeze theorem I think
It’s proportional to r and the theta bit is bounded between 1 and sqrt(2)
anyways, after using polar coordinates what do you get?
i didnt know, thanks
Wait sorry 1/sqrt(2) I forgot to inverse
@outer rock
I got like this
I think we can say |cos^2(θ)| + |sin^2(θ)| is 1 no? is a special case of the cos^2 + sin^2 = 1 trig identity
Ye
also |r^2| is just r^2
How
doesnt matter, I see you already simplified with the denominator factorization
so like, the denominator does not depend of r, so we can take that part out of the limit
yeah so the whole denominator is bounded, and 0 * bounded = 0
Ye when putting r=0 whole thing becomes zero
importantly, the denominator is never 0
if it was 0 or approaching it, then we wouldnt be able to conclude that the limit 0
So now what
now you're done
you have shown that the limit is 0
Here is the pure squeeze approach btw $0\le\frac{\left|x\right|^{2}+\left|y\right|^{2}}{\left|x\right|+\left|y\right|}\le\frac{\left(\left|x\right|+\left|y\right|\right)^{2}}{\left|x\right|+\left|y\right|}=\left|x\right|+\left|y\right|\to0$
So now we can say 0 not equal to 10^2024
MathIsAlwaysRight
So limit not exist
Limit does exist
no
but it doesnt equal f(0, 0)
Ok limit exist but function are not equal
the limit exists and equals 0. But it doesnt equal f(0,0), so the func isnt continuous at 0,0
I see
^
this is the 2D variant of this scenario. The limit exists, but its not continuous anyway
You usually just need to try some paths to convince yourself that the limit might exist and find its value
I usually do x = 0, y = 0, x = y and sometimes y = x^2
someone does y = mx^2
someone does y = mx
What if when u put all u get 0
What does that mean
then you have a reasonable evidence that the limit exists and is 0 and you should attempt to prove it
the path you try depends of what the limit is approaching to, because if (x,y)->(1,0) then y = x^2 is not a valid path
if you arent able to prove it, then you might go back and try several other paths to see if you are able to find one whose limit is different (that would mean the overall limit doesnt exist)
yeah, ofc you always need to adjust ur paths to the point
Ok imagine I put y=x,y=x^2 but when I put y=mx^3 I get some other anser
then the limit doesnt exist
What does that conclude
the limit exists if and only if the limit is same for all possible paths to the point
if you can find just one path for which the limit is different, the whole limit cant exist
the problem is that in practice you arent able to try out all the paths (because there are infinitely many) so u usually have to use polar coords and/or squeeze to prove that the limit exists
@drifting hornet so during the question above when I put y=mx^2 I get 0 so its always better to try polar coordinates or just conclude limit exist
usually, the paths you try are trying to make your life simpler, like you dont just try paths blindly but first like, try to find a path such that if you set y = something the single variable limit becomes simple to evaluate, you dont just try every single path, also, if two paths coincide but still the limit doesnt exist, then you will see that when you try to prove it using squeeze or something you cant?
So if like these questions pops in my exam what shud be my intuition what path shud i go for first
i said y = x because then you can factorize things from the numerator and the denominator
The strategy is generally this:
-
If you wanna prove that the limit doesnt exist, try out multiple paths. If one path has a different limit, you can conclude that the whole limit doesnt exist. If you cant find such path, go to step 2
-
If you wanna prove that the limit does exist, try polar coordinates and squeeze theorem. If it gets too complicated, it might be the case that the limit doesnt actually exist. Try returning to step 1 and try several other paths
and it becomes a product of things instead of a sum
generally go for simple paths and for paths which will simplify the expression
Ok bro
and always make sure the paths actually lead to your point
like you cant do x = y when the point is (0, 1) or you cant do y = x + 1 when the point is (0, 0)
I see
During class test i actually tried y=x,y=x^2,y=x^3 all gained 0 so I wrote limits exist which is 0 but my friend tried y=mx^3 which gave another anser which is not 0
So I got cooked after test
My anser was wrong 😭
you never tried to prove it
using y = mx is always better than y = x
I see
this are good guidelines to follow btw cobra
So I just know y=something and polar coordinates methods
I haven't learned epsilon delta
Can I solve questions with both of them is that sufficient
you cant just assume that because some paths work then the limit always evaluates to same thing
squeeze theorem
no?
No i haven't learned squeeze

I tried learning it but cudnt understand
if after using polar coordinates and simplifying you get that the limit evaluates to sin(θ) + 2cos(θ) or something then you cant say anything because depending on thetha the limit will evaluate differently
I see
If like these situations come then squeeze is the only way
no, what I am trying to say is, if you try to prove the limit f(x,y) always gets to same value but in the end you get something depending on thetha with no r, then you can see that depending on theta we get different results, aka we can't prove it always evaluate to the same value, then we go step 1 and trying to find a counterexample
Ok if that happens we have to try out y=something method
try to find a few paths that will make your life simple
see what those single variable limits evaluate to
Okey
I have an upcoming maths midsem exam so by solving pyqs will it be ok for me to pass
for example, do you happen to know that sin(x)/x when x-> 0 is 1?
Yes
That's general
yeah so, try to find a path that aligns with (x,y)->(0,0), such that we can use that to our advantage

not sure how to approach this
@tropic juniper Has your question been resolved?
use appropriate paths
how do i find what the appropriate paths are?
and how would i prove it discontinuous at every point?
ive only done it for a single point
try simple ones. say ones parallel to the x and y axes
Wouldn’t a better one be a circle centred at the origin of radius r=|z|? (Clockwise and anticlockwise)
Suppose for contradiction it is not discontinuous at every point, then pick any z which is continuous and then show it is actually discontinuous

I figured how how to convert it to the kmap but i cant seem to figure out how they simplify it back into form.
Richard Mullin
Wait but what is you needed?
how it went fom the table there to m = xy + yz + xz
Like this
Yes
When it was 1 did you take the denied or not?
Anyway
What varies in the table in the vertical grouping?
Can you explain what you mean a bit more?
Which variable changes value
Which row?
Do you find that in the two boxes X for once it is 0 and once is 1?
No
Mmm
Its 1, 3 time in the second row
If you start from 011 and arrive at 111 what variable has it changed?
X
Damn I'm late
No, what am I canceling x with again?
Yes
What is not clear?
What was the table for if I just subtract the ending?
?
I think im still misunderstanding something
What
Whats this for?
What
.
I made it into a table but Im still confused on how to convert the table back into a simplified form of the equation, i understand that it has something to do with matching the 1s in the 0 and 1 part of the x part of the table but after that you jumped to solving it
Those are the expressions where the function is worth 1
You use kmap to get to the simplified form
xy+yz+zx
Yes but i cant figure out how to do that
I wrote you above
Would that just make the same equation?
What are you looking at to make it different?
Let's do another method
Do you have the vertical grouping?
Write the two expressions
x'yz+xyz
= (x'+x)yz
=yz
This happens because precisely x changes from 0 to 1
The two horizontals
Starting from the one left left
The Y varies
So it will be xz
In the other change Z so it will be xy
So xy+yz+xz
so for the problem i have i do that twice?
is that what the circlings for?
Oh
So kinda like this?
Only the 1 you have to collect
Or collect all 0 or all 1
But the expression changes if you decide to collect 0
There will be a product of sums in that case
And if the variable will be 0 it will be not denied, while 1 denied
So how did u get xy and xz?
YZ you've already found it
I mean xz
You have to continue collecting until you have covered all 1
Collecting means im looking at everytime both rows are one right?
Yes
Figured it out
But why do you still have the 3 group in drawing?
In the figure as you can see, it groups 2
.
For example, I had also had a 1 in box 001, you grouped them to 4, and the expression would become:
Vary y and x, then f (x, y, z) = z
It is always better to make the biggest groupings
Got it, thx
However less groupings you do better is (you always have to cover all 1 though)

Trying to solve this question any advice I cant get an answer
sub y for 5-2x in 2nd eq
which gets me to 5x^2 - 20x+22=0 right
nah i cant tbh
use quadratic formula
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
if its in this form
its called a quadratic equation
ah ok I will try this, sorry really struggling with it
even tried google and it says theres no answer for it lol
is it because its negative?
Oh yeah b²-4ac would be negative in this case
yeah i mean the curves dont touch each other
brilliant
yeah maybe a typo tbh
do you have answer for this
I
maybe we can figure out where the question went wrong
ive wrote my working out but no answer is provided
through my googling theres similar questions floating around with x^2 - y^2 = 3 rather than +
yeah then you can conclude by stating due to discriminant being negative its kind of clear their are no real solutions
hyperbole
yeah possible
i thought I was having somekind of attack lol

Prove these inequalities are true with x>0
3 arctan x < 3 arctan x+1
its not so simple
arctan is strictly increasing.
wait I might have an idea
So is it true?
Nop
how do u know
In an innequality you cant differentiate the two sides but you can integrate
Yes if that what you meant
graphed it and it's false
pretty sure there's an arctan sum formula as well
as n tends to infinity the 2 sides both tend to 2π
Yes
so the question is wrong?
no the derivative >0 hypothesis is false

thought it was A, answer sheet said it was B. I have no idea why
what did you write out
I made two triangles given the dimensions in the question, subtracted their hypotenuses and it gave me A
can you show your work
hmm, do we assume flat earth
This should probably not have happened, you really just need to calculate the hypotenuse of one triangle
their hypotenuses doesn't necessarily form a straight line
try drawing a diagram it will seem more intuitive
okay, if round earth, then there would be a problem on how to add the distances, which wouldn't commute
you can treat the location of the boat as coordinates
idk prolly
I mean it doesn't matter because on the scale provided the earth is locally flat enough. If you want to be pedantic like this your should probably make your own help channel and ask your question there
then use Euclidean Distance
whats that?
just try and draw a diagram
maybe try overlaying the triangles to match at the radar station?
the radar station doesn't move, so that's a fixed landmark
Do this and you will see why
You assumed that the hypotenuses are on the same line
refer to my earlier message
probably not answering the question asked
yeah you can see that drawing it more accurately
yeah that makes sense

Hello guys I need help with this question. I know it's in German but it translates to: "Match the graphical representations to the appropriate inequality (from A to F)!"
We did this in class but I still didn't understand it (the crosses on the letters are the answers cuz we already did it but I just don't get it). Please angel help me!!
It's 165 btw
solid lines means either greater/less than or equal to
dotted lines without equal to
If i have say y>=ax+b
i would have a solid line along y=ax+b, and the region would be everything above it (inclusive of the line hence the solid)
if it was > i would have a dotted line, and the region would be everything above it
Replace the inequality with '=' sign, then check for appropriate values of x and y, that should give you the line

its not 0
i know its not 0
You're getting 0/0, not 0. Big difference
yeah so what got you 0
Factor out an x from the remaining ones and cancel it with the denominator
Then just put the limit
Try what I mentioned
Open the ^5, the 1 cancels out, after which the x from the denominator would cancel out too
wait
yea i did this
next
aight wait
show what you got from doing it.
Just substitute x as 0
wait
before plugging any x in
Not this, the step I had asked you to do
This
notice that it's similar to the definition of derivative f'(a)
with f(x) = (x+1)⁵ and a = 0

hi, i need help with the task below.
thanks in advance
N_1=(6/1)*f(-3)
N_1=0
but i am not sure how to solve for N_3
we're gonna need a reminder of what N_n and Ø_n mean
i suppose these stand for something in norwegian but i dont speak the language so i dont know
i believe it means lower and upper darboux sum
N_n means lower darboux sum
while Ø_n means upper darboux sum
left would be N_n while the one to the right would be Ø_n
and n stands for the number of rectangles
does it make sense?
yes
you might want to sketch the graph of y=9-x^2
or at least note that it is a decreasing function so the upper and lower bounds on each rectangle can be found easily
but why is this wrong:
N_3=(6/3)* f(-3)+(6/3) * f(-1) + (6/3)*f(1)
oh
