how
|AP|+|PB| is minimal iff P is on line segment AB ?
let there be any point b/w A and B, 'P', AP+PB=AB
ok
|AP|+|PB|>|AQ|+|QB|
By you know who

Hi not too sure how to do this question
number 1 is incorrect
i can't give you explanation because i know nothing about matrix and the way i solve it is pull up the wikipedia and read
x=A^-1b
I only came here to correct you, no intention to answer him… tired, he needs to pick one option he doesn’t understand…
Anyway I answer option 4 I leave, I believe he can find rest in his textbook
Consider $A=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\1&1\end{pmatrix}$ and $B=\begin{pmatrix}1&1\0&1\end{pmatrix}$

"With 2 3 4 5 and 9 are written all possible three-digit numbers. Find the possibility of a randomly picked to be even or odd"
ok so all outcomes are V(5; 3)
V(3!; 5!)=60
I don't understand how the favorable outcomes are 2*V(2!; 4!)
I mean ok 2! because the even numbers are 2 and 4
but why 4!
Shouldn't it be V(2!; 3!) ?
cuz it's three-digit numbers
and why multiplied 2 times
what is V ?
Variations
the formula being V(k; n) k - elements n - classes
so V=n!/(n-k)!
nope
it says no repeated digits in the original question? because above you didn't specify
ok np
<@&286206848099549185>
are you taking cases for how many even or odd numbers you've already placed in the other digits?
like there are no outcomes for an even number with digits EEE since you only have two even numbers w/o replacement
because there are 4 numbers left
you took out one even number
Odd: (3C1)(4)(3), even: (2C1)(4)(3)
so you have to choose a 2 digits number with your 4 digits left
and mulitply by two bc you have 2 even numbers
ohhh
makes sense
I understood this, but
now for odd
it's 3* V(2!; 4!)

bc same as before you have to make a 2 digits number with your 4 numbers left
but this time you multiply by 3 bc we have 3 odd numbers

Looking at the options I judged that we needed to find the function fx and I'm not very sure how do I do that.
I know about rolles theorem and LMVT but I don't know how useful they are here.
How do I even get f(4)-f(1) in the first place 
It's more significant to see what you tried and assist you at where you got stuck, and to see what knowledge you have on this
I feel like I'm missing something here but wait I'll send my attempt.

Why cant you do this? its the square root of 1 right?
Yes
you can't do it because it's -1 which is undefined
only positive real numbers under the radical have solutions
$\sqrt{(-1)^2} =\
= \sqrt{1}$
Nonna
You can't do $\sqrt{-1}$ and $\left(\sqrt{-1}\right)^2$
Nonna
it's (-1)²
(-1)² is 1
unless you do factorization but that's not happening here
it is without the radical
when it's under a radical it becomes imaginary
$\sqrt{(n)^2}$ is the same as $|n|$
Nonna
if n is a positive real number
no, try pluggin in sqrt(x^2) into desmos
(-1)² = 1
and sqrt(1) = 1
so that's just 1
then why is it undefined according to desmos
Also if that were for positive numbers only there wouldn't be any reason to define absolute values in the first place
Bruh
ah you got me

Please help A manufacturer packages soap powder in containers of three different sizes. The amount of soap powder in a full large container could fill exactly 3 of the medium containers or exactly 5 of the small containers. If an equal number of small and large containers are to be filled with the amount of soap powder that would fill 90 medium containers, how many small containers will be filled?
I got 150
Cause if 3 medium are equal to 5 small then 90 medium should be equal to (90*5)/3

oh and the answers i have selected i dont know if they are correct and i dont even think so
What's the definition of domain?
im not sure
It's the set of all x values you can plug into a function without breaking stuff basically
As an example, if f(x) = 1/x, you can't plug in 0, because then you are dividing by 0, so 0 is not in the domain of the function
Do you understand what I mean?
ohh yes
Ok nice
So in this case, f(x) = -2x² -4x + 6, will anything break maths if it were plugged in?
no
So what real numbers can we plug in?
im not sure what you mean
plugging in for what
I mean, what numbers can we substitute to x without breaking maths
infinity?
ohhh
So what's the domain?
infinity?

how is it not?
Infinity is not a number, it's more like a concept
If I say that the domain of a function is 2 < x < 4, that means that I can plug in every real number in the interval between 2 and 4 and not make undefined calculations like dividing by 0 or taking square roots of negative numbers
In this case you can pick any number in the interval between...?
(Edit: better wording)
im sorry i dont know
All real numbers are in the interval (-inf, +inf)
ohhh
i thought it was that
but im really confused on the range
What's the definition of range?
(Note: -inf and inf are not included)
difference between values
highest and lowest vLues
:/ you googled that
And also that's not what a range of a function is referring to
A range is all the numbers that the function can give as outputs
yeah i had no idea
That's ok, next time just say it 👍
my teacher never gave any definitions
oh okay i see
Let's do a little recap:
Domain → All values that a function can take as input
Range → All values that a function can give as output
yes
If you were to pick any point on this function, how high or low (y value) could it get?
it would have to be lower than 8 correct?
Yes exactly
oh i see now
is 8 included?
yes it is
Nice!
Then for the last two
It's very intuitive to find when a function is increasing and decreasing
Increasing means that the function is going up
Decreasing means that the function is going down
The intervals are read from left to right
And that's pretty much it
So when is the function decreasing?
anything below 8 i believe
Notice that the increasing-decreasing is based on the x axis
And as I mentioned, read from left to right
Starting from the left and going to the right, at first, is our function increasing or decreasing?
what do you mean?
An example (not related to this) is that I can say that a function is increasing when x > 12
That means that if I pick any x value bigger than 12, the y value at that new point will be surely bigger than the y value at x = 12
Just 1 and -3
oh okay
?
alright
so its the y intercept?
im confused
No, that doesn't matter
I think you are overthinking this
Start from the far left
slowly go to the right, at the beginning, is the function going up or down? (in the function of your exercise)
dowm
down
wait
no up
Ok, it's going up
But the question is asking when it's decreasing
So, does it decrease at a certain point or does it keep getting bigger?
it gets bigger
wait no it decreases at 8
or after 8
ohhhh
wait so where does it turn positive
is that another question from the exercise?
yes it is
its 4
number 4
or how do i find it
Ok, you tell me
For which values of x is the y value bigger than 0?
i have no idea what youre asking
Let's say I only need positive values of y.
I give the function any value of x I want
You have to make sure that I'm getting positive values of y, for example (not related to this function) you could say "Oh, if you pick an x value bigger than 19, it's y value will be negative, so make sure you only pick x < 19"
anything above -3 and 1
I think you understood, but can you express your answer more clearly?
what is "anything", and what is "above" referring to
any value greater than -3 and 1
y value greater than -3 and 1
i dont know how to word it
any value of what?
of x
Yes! Finally ahah, well done
So what's the answer that represents what you just said?
let's say I pick x = 4
4 is bigger than one
but it's never going to be smaller than -3
let's say I pick x = -4
-4 is smaller than -3
but it will never be bigger than 1
I end up with no possible values to choose from
[condition] and [condition]
means that both conditions have to be true
So the answer must be another one
Me too 
The mistake came because we confused the y axis with the x axis, should have checked, my bad
ohh its alright
|x| means that whatever x value has, we only consider the positive version of it
|4| = 4
|-4| = 4
|-5| = 5
oh alright
For the third question
At which x value does the function start getting smaller y values?
Imagine it like this
You are walking across that function, you start from the left and you are going from the right, and you count your steps.
Each step is 1 unit on the x axis
How many steps do you have to take before you start going downhill?

why does |x-3| move the function 3 units to the right instead of moving the function 3 units to the left
if you plug in x=3 you get x-3 = 0, right?
thus x=3 is at the vertex
it's just the way it is
If f is your function, f(x-a) = f(b) when x = b + a, thus offset by a to the right, not the left
You need to move in a way that cancels the offset, thus opposite it
Since negative is to the left, it thus shifts it to the right
"offset" is the way i think of it too
i need to start with larger values of x to catch up to the same point as the parent function
another way is to ask when the inside is zero
|x|
x = 0
|x - 3|
x-3 = 0
x = 3

How many positive integers less 10000 than are there which contain at least one 2 or at least one 3 (or both)?
you could calculate this
you could think of the problem as writing the numbers as a string
0000, 0002, 0023, etc.
I see
so the next step would be to calculate the probabilites
@lapis sluice for instance from 1 to 100 we have 10 + 9 + 10 + 9 = 38
contain 2 or 3 right?
@lapis sluice right?
That might be correct, but I haven't counted
This is a problem which you should not brute force, it's much simpler to calculate the probabilities of the digits showing up at each index
@lapis sluice containing here means that for instance 12 contain the digit 2 right /
?
yes
thats why it would be easier to think of the numbers as a string
like i refered to here

hi can i please get help on this statistics question
I like that $\mathbb V$ symbol haha
Eric Tao (he/him)
do you know the equation variance = E[x^2] - (E[x])^2
yeah i do
alright
do you also know the fact that variance(x + y) = variance(x) + variance(y)
and variance(c x) = c^2 variance(x)
yep
hmm
could i do ((x7+x9)-x4)^2 variance((x7+x9)-x4)?
how did you get that
so in that question, would 2 be c?
would it be 4 variance((x7+x9))+ variance (-x4)?
why?
because E[x^2] =mu_2 and (E[x])^2= mu_1
variance(x7)+variance(x9)?
-variance(x4)?
hmm
so which property of variance can you use
-1^2*variance(x4)?
because of this?
4 (variance(x7)+variance(x9)+ variance (x4))?
yup
so now
let's take a small detour
and figure out what variance(x_i) is
and then we can sub that in for all the variances (they are all the same)
so what is the equation for variance(x_i)?
E[x^2] - (E[x])^2?
so 4(mu_2) - (mu_1^2)?
where did you get the 4 from?
oh okay
don't worry about that yet
we're trying to find variance(x_i) first
and then at the end we'll put everything together
so what is E[x_i^2]?
okay
mu_2?
yes sir
yep
so variance(x7) = mu_2 - mu_1^2, variance(x9) = mu_2 - mu_1^2, etc
do you see how to solve from there
i get this
but im confused onwards
what do you get if you plug those values in
to this equation
for var(x7), would that be -42?
because 7 -7^2?
No
variance(x7) is this
neither mu_2 nor mu_1 are 7
they are just some number that you don't know
ok
so would this just be variance(x7) = mu_2 - mu_1^2?
yup
kk
so once this occurs, do i do 4* ((mu_2 - mu_1^2) + ( mu_2 - mu_1^2)) - var(x4)?
yep!
what is var(x4)?
(E[x])^2
but idk how to do it like this
mu_2 - mu_1^2?
how did you get the ^2
becuase (E[x])^2?
well
you already know var(xi) is equal to this for all values of i
so logically, what is var(x4) equal to
yep!
ahh okay ty
no problem!!
sorry so like
since i have this 4*( mu_2 - mu_1^2 + mu_2 - mu_1^2) + ( mu_2 - mu_1^2)
what is next?
tyty @real gazelle
no problem!

ok I closed the chat a bit too soon 😅 so to solve this, I have to know what sin beta and cos alpha are. How do I find those out?
i know the inequalities with theta are for determining the sign but thats all i know
im using the first identity shown here
you'll need to draw some triangles to get cos a and sin b
then you can sub in those four values to the first identity there
ya we should go in another channel tho
Ok so I drew a triangle with angles a and b and gave it side lengths based on the angle. I don’t think this is the right approach idk
right, so shouldnt they be the same?
since both sin alpha and cos beta are looking at the same sides
alpha and beta don't need to be part of the same triangle
how do i find the 3rd side length?
since the sin and cos show only 2 side lengths for their 2 respective triangles
yep!
oh sorry didn't see the question.
since these are right triangles you can solve with the pythagorean theorem
this is what not being in a math class for 2 years does to u smh
use it or lose it! comes back faster than you think though 😜
oh sorry big deal that the triangles are in the correct quadrant
we can have negative side lengths in a sense
oh yeah i completely forgot about that part
so the only thing thatd change is the side with the length of 24 becomes negative?
yep!

Help
What do you need help with
Math
post your qustion
It’s a fraction problem
send it
well you have been given a total number of treats
and the fraction of treats that contain nuts
you have to find the number of treats that contain nuts
do you know what operation you have to use here?
yikes
That isn’t helpful
I recommend using ratios
Or you can find LCD
take 11 treats, add nuts to 3 of them, and set them aside. then repeat this process several times until you run out of nuts. then count how many have nuts at the end. you could have done this manually by now 😀
Idk what that means
You can change 3/11 to 27/99
I only know least common multiple
Do you understand this?
Yes
Then what should we do?
Maybe subtraction?
Oh wait
We got the answer nvm
Because we are finding the amount that HAS nuts
Answer 27 nuts

(s_1)^3=t_3+3(t_2s_1-t_3)+6s_3 and (s_1)^2=t_2+2s_2 respectively
Therefore you became proving (t_2)^3>=6(t_3)^2, , which is proving 54(s_3)^2+8(s_2)^3<=0
Which is proving 27(s_3)^2+4(s_2)^3<=0
Now
a,b,c are three real roots of polynomial x^3+s_2x-s_3=0
We recall that a cubic polynomial x^3+px+q has three real roots iff its discriminant -4p^3-27q^2>=0
Now plug in p=s_2,q=-s_3, so we have 27(s_3)^2+4(s_2)^3<=0

Write the taylor series for this problem
Keep substituting till you get the value as far as the fourth decimal point
What
Yes
So you substitute x as 2
And then keep calculating until you get the 4th point right
That should make the error margin disappear
Yes yes
Is this wolfram?
yes
Send site link, please
and putting the upper bound at 400
results in a difference of
i doubt this problem need that many
Put the bound at 1000
i dont think this is how you do it
it cant be
i tried doing this way before i got it incorrect
Ohhhhhh
I get it I get it now!!
You've to use the remainder term in the Taylor series
please explain
what is c and x

uh when you say increased by 30% does it mean you add 30% to the amount or take the amount multipled by 30%
for example her savings were 50% of her income and next month it increased by 30%
is it 50% × ³⁰/100 or
50% + 30%
Whats "it"? Savings amount or savings rate?
If you base it on savings amount, which is what I would do, then its 50% * 1.3 = 65% so her new savings rate is 65%
@polar fossil do you have the question exactly as worded
yes but i have problems with the english
show the question
in july, mary spent 45% of her income on transport, 25% of it on food and kept the rest as savings. in august, her income increased by 10%. she spent the same amount of money on transport but increased her savings by 30% to $780 in august.
a) what was her income in july?
b) how much did she spend on food in august?
yes
make a table.
,rotate
\begin{tabular}{c||c|ccc}
Month & Total & Transport & Food & Savings \
\hline\hline
July & & & & \
\hline
August & & & & 780
\end{tabular}
Ann
as a first step i suggest finding mary's July savings
great, so what was the income for July?
$2000

can anyone help me😭
it doesn't seem like a quadratic function to me, am i missing smtg?
Its not quadratic, "in the form of the intercept" likely means in the style of f(x) = mx + b
In this case, multiply -2 by (x + 1/4)
-2x-53/8 right?
Yes I think so
this is just a straight line function right?
Yes the function is linear
What is the question on this one?
this
It seems the answer is already provided. Are you asking how to reach it?
x*x = x^2
but there's only 1 x here
Yes that function is linear
The second one is not
They are different
In the second one, parenthesis next to each other imply multiplication
So when you multiply (x - 3/2)(x+2), you get an expression containing x^2
i understand that
i dont get how this is the answer for
this
It isnt, these seem to be two separate questions
i think i've been fooled by my tch
If you only mean the two expressions shown in the second image though
I believe for quadratic functions, intercept form looks like f(x) = m(x - a)(x - b) where a and b are the two zeroes of the function found using the quadratic equation
m does not need to be calculated, its the same as the number next to x^2 in the first expression
Yes

@high granite Has your question been resolved?
Let z = x+iy
It seems its asking you to find an equality using the two real-valued parts of a complex expression (x and y in x+iy) to describe what points on the complex plane are satisfied by the complex equality

Thats the intersection of all intervals of the given form.
For x to be in set (i), it must hold, that x ∈ [-1/n, 1+1/n] for all n ∈ {1,2,3,...}
Similar for (r)
Looks good to me
Yes
Wait, is 0.5 in (r) ?
For n >= 3, 1-1/n is bigger than 0.5
So for 0.5 to be in (r), in particular 0.5 must be in (1-1/3 , 1 + 1/3) which it isn't
I don't think so🙂
We are looking for a number thats bigger than 1-1/n and smaller than 1+1/n for any n. Can it be bigger than 1? Can it be smaller than 1?
If not, it has to be 1.
So I think its {1}
Lets take some n >= 1 then 1/n <= 1 and -1/n >= -1
Give me a sec😅
Given n >= 1 we need to show:
(1) 1 - 1/n <= 1
(2) 1 + 1/n >= 1
(1) 1 - 1/n <= 1 <=> -1/n <= 0 <=> -1 <= 0 which is true
(2) 1 + 1/n >= 1 <=> 1/n >= 0 <=> 1 >= 0 which is true
Yes sorry, all brackets are < and >
This "infinity" thing is merely a notation of this set. We don't need to actually take limits here. We can say that 1/n > 0 for all n, but "at infinity" 1/n is not defined.
Best stick to the definition that says that an element needs to be in all of the sets that make it up.
And no other number except 1 is in this set. That is because if m != 1, than m is bigger or smaller than 1. Lets say m smaller. We show that m is not in this set. If m < 0 then it should be clear (because 1-1/n doesn't get smaller than 0). If m is between 0 and 1, then for sufficiently large n (say n=N) , 1-1/N gets bigger than m because it converges to 1 and so m can't be in the set (1-1/N , 1+1/N) and therefore can't be in (r). (Similar for if m > 1)

$\frac{x^2 + y^5}{1-\cos x +y^4}$
cw26
You asked last time and I answered right?
I said you approaches (0,0) on y^2=(t/2)x by different t will give you different limit
You didn’t say you didn’t understand
yea mb
$=\frac{x^{2}+y^{5}}{2\sin^{2}(\frac{x}{2})+y^{4}}$
Cogwheels of the mind
yep
$=\frac{4+yt^{2}}{2(\frac{\sin(\frac{x}{2})}{\frac{x}{2}})^{2}+t^{2}}$
Cogwheels of the mind
Where $t=\frac{y^{2}}{\frac{x}{2}}$
Cogwheels of the mind
Is fixed
Limit of this is 4/(2+t^2)
Changes with choice of t
So limit doesn’t exist
$\lim_{y \to 0}\frac{\sin(\frac{x}{2})}{\frac{x}{2}}=\lim_{y \to 0}\frac{\sin(\frac{y^{2}}{t})}{\frac{y^{2}}{t}}=1$
Cogwheels of the mind
In the end you can let t=1 and 2 respectively for example
This gives you two different 4/(2+t^2)
Okay
sorry for the trouble

is there a way i can memorize trigonometry ratios properly or are there any tips on how i can practice to keep it in my mind because i keep forgetting them
try some problems
there is like one way on how people memorize it is by saying “ some pol have curly brown hair through proper brushing “
im not sure if this works
you can draw a right triangle
and do it urself
Look up SOA CHA TOA
soh cah toa
It is indeed "soh cah toa," not with a "cha." This mnemonic seems weird but it works for myself and many other people. It's still how I remember the ratios.
However, here's another way to memorise it. If you know how sin and cos are defined -- as in this diagram -- the ratios are actually a consequence of this.

Did i do somethin wrong?
The answer is sus
x and u are related. You cant treat it as a constant when integrating
I don't get it
if you changed x to u, then you should get rid of all the x's
That is the problem, i can't
While substitute a variable (x replaced by u) you must have no x in final integration, only u
hence why integration by parts was suggested before
Ok
Toby is right you interpreted x as a constant but x is not a constant because x depends of u (x = exp(u))
Also, do we have something called "inverse logs"?
that'd be exponents
Oh my god i wanna commit suicide
I thought you were going to say somethin like ln(2x-x)
no no
Huh?
Well, we need u, v, du, dv for parts
We already have u and dv
We need to find du and v
IBP is only used when multiplying two things in an integrand, your problem here shows that you're only trying to find the integral of ln|x|
So, i shouldn't use parts?
No
Then what am i supposed to do?
wait, nevermind ignore what I said
I'm stupid, I got confused
Keep going with IBP
lemme solve it on paper real quick
