Ah
You need to know if you want pivot columns of original matrix or the augmented matrix
Augmented
Okay, thank you!
Yeah, you count the last column also, you can look here for info - https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1132929/do-entries-in-augmented-columns-count-as-pivot

i tried to add it together and factorise it
but couldnt factorise
did i do the wrong thing?
why are you factorizing it
you need the coeffecient of x not 1/x
i got 60x^4+4x^2+9 what do i do next
you want the coefficient of x. so what number is x getting multiplied by?
idk, i got a plus in the equation so how do i write that
i probably did it wrong hold on
i might be wrong but the answer should be ||Not telling ans cuz math|| since coefficient of x is being asked and that is the only option making sense to me
what am i mean to with the squares and cubes here
are you sure you sent the right picture?
yeah
The coefficient of x is the constant that multiplied x
is it just 1/3
yes
💀
Yep
lmao

we can always find an inf in R if we choose any set of numbers?
yes, every subset of R that is bounded from below has an infimum.
Do you want to generalize for any set or intervals specifically?
for any sets not in R
idk..
what's the property we're using in R that allows us to find an inf
always
from any sets of ordered things
completeness?
Yes, a corollary of that
So how do we justify that the natural numbers also have this property
ofc N isnt complete
or is it idk
And can we always find a seq that goes to the inf?
in {1,2,3} for example the seq would be just Un=1?
$\mathbb{N} \subset \mathbb{R} \ \mathbb{N} \neq \phi $
Yes
$\mathbb{N} \subset \mathbb{R} \ \mathbb{N} \neq \phi$
dabble
From what i remember, completeness says that every non empty bounded subset of R has a sup (and thus inf) in R
yeah i see
so we have 2 choices, either the inf is in the set or we get arbitrarily close to it
Yes
\emptyset or \varnothing but not phi
Here to help 😄
yes we can
wait but lets say we have a function defined on each element of a set
and it's constant 1
can i say that since theres a seq going to the inf
then f(inf)=1 also
if f continuous
Yes, I believe so
Closed by @high ether

✅
one more, if we know a point is isolated from the set and we suppose it's the inf
do we know that the inf then is certainly reached?
meaning suppose x1 is the inf and we know that there is no element in A near x1
are we sure that x1 is in A
I'm pretty sure infimum and supremum do not have to be in the set itself
yeah, i am saying if they're isolated
Ah like that 🤔
then i think they have to be
otherwise there's certainly another element that can be the inf
isolated points must be elements of the set
Actually, they have to be "very close" to the elements of A otherwise that will not be an inf
no i mean if we're not its in A
if p not in A then it can't be isolated
we're just sure that the points in A are all isolated
Except it is
and A not empty
Which is quite interesting
right
are you srs
$\original$
DerpZ
i definitely am
Since it challenges the usual intuition of a complete space
Well can you explain
Well
there is none i am just playing around, i explained the situation
Every Cauchy sequence must eventually converge
And it must converge to a number in N
if s = infA and s is an isolated point of A then s is in A
Which means it's complete lel
Yea
$\mathbb{N}$ doesn't converge KEKW
Void Walker
N got an even stronger property actually
EVERY subset of N got a min
That's easy to see coz all or bounded below by 0
But still 
Nope, not in general
dabble this is an analysis course?
So thats why it has the same properties as R?
what?
The property you're using in R is the least upper bound property
it's wrong
Yeah kind of. Differential equations
Which is a corollary of completeness
ah
I meant his argument was wrong, conclusion is correct
Actually
tho i have some lacking in my knowledge
R is constructed specifically to have the least upper bound property lmfao
why? every set bounded from below has an inf?
But not a least element
this is easy to see, consider (0, 1)
I assume he meant least element by min
I really want you to focus on this
Ah. Then ill go back to my question. if we're just sure that the points in A are all isolated and A not empty and bounded from below
is the inf in A?
Yeah i see, we took Q and completed it
Yep
still not necessarily
Coz numbers that can't be rational kept appearing
Which was quite annoying
Take {1/n for all n in N}
What is meant by isolated?

fuuck
an isolated point is not a limit point
Okok
This is a very standard counterexample
if i take a point, there exists an r>0 such that the interection between my set and the [point-r,point+r] is point
yeah I was right about to type it up :(
4/5 using this example worked lol
[point - r, point+r] is wrong
Isolated means you can put an open set around it that contains only that point
mm.. why?
So for example
not an open set
You can put (0.75, 1.25) around 1
why does it have to be open
definition
And that only contains 1
thats fine lol for our purposes
And no other from this set
fun exercise is to prove that every point in that set is isolated
if you're interested dabble, read an analysis book
I shill understanding analysis but there's a few others
rudin 
but rudin is great to take exercises from
ooh
Yes please
rudin chapter 3?
for R it would be |p_n - q_n| converges
It's the outline for the Cauchy construction of the reals
I don't know metric spaces, so I'm out for this
ah okay a metric space is just st d obeys the triangle inequality
It's a set with a metric, more precisely
wonder if we can do this in R and just replace
|pn - qn| with d(pn, qn) 
just gotta make p_m - q_n converge
ok 23 is not bad
lets see 24
we should rope grass in
Grass doesn't know Cauchy stuff yet
nah we can shove it down his throat

Hello. I have a simple assignment but I don’t have confidence to consider it 100% correct
The problem is: Imagine we have a deck of 52 cards. How many ways of choosing 6 cards out of 52, so that 3 of them would be Kings and 3 other would be cards of different colors
C(4,3) is the number of choosing 3 kings out of 4
C(48,3) is number of choosing 3 cards out of 48 left
I multiply them and divide by 4, because there are 4 ways where 3 cards would be of 1 color
Is it right?
probability?
@static lion Has your question been resolved?
it's not correct at the point where you divide by 4
but it's good up to that point
try to only multiply
If I only multiply then I include a moment where 3 cards are of the same color
C(48,3) does not Guarantee that 3 out of those cards will have unique colors
Now that I think of it, the division on 4 also doesn’t guarantee that we won’t have 2 of the same color cards
You mean I have to do C(4,3) once again?
C(4,3) * 2?
i think that's what they mean, 3 different, is not the same as "not all the same"
Yeah, the difference should be mainly in color
Like for example: king of Hearts, King of diamonds, King of spades, 9 of spades, 9 of diamonds, 9 of crest
Also sorry if spades diamonds and stuff is not called „color“ I just don’t know another term for it
ok yeah good
that's what i thought from the start cuz they are different colors when i played poker
Oh nice)
And why do I need to 12^3?
Oh
and you already chose the suit
So in the end: C(4,3) kings * C(4,3) suits * 12^3, because 13-1 we took the king and why in ^3?
Because 3 cards of different suits right?
yeah
Okay thank you very much! I will try to Pass this assignment to my teacher, hopefully it’s correct this time. He is handing me back this assignment for 3rd time already
a school teacher?
No, a university professor
The subject is a special cases of discrete maths or something like that
i was like combinatorics in russian school чзх
No we had a simple combinatorics like exercise with black and white balls in a bin for example
But the advanced stuff started in Uni, also are u Russian?
yeah

Did i do this right ?
and i was wondering what the second part wants me to do
I guess you have to find W_0 root the zeroth root as W starts from 0,1,2…
so root2/2(cos 75+360n +iSin 75+360n) and sub in 0,1,2 for n?
Shouldn’t it be just (75 + 0x360) /n= 75 as we are finding the zeroth root?
ah yes since there is no power on the w
Also shouldn’t degrees be converted to radians? I usually write in radians
it normally would ask u to put in radians but i dont see it here

I need help with an arithmetic question
The question is
I have the formulae provided but it’s telling me that my answer is wrong
$\Sigma_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)$
thats giving the answer tho
Yes, I have that formuale
oh okay
I just don’t know how to use it
find the difference and the first term and just plug
wrong, S_n is the group of permutations on n things 
,calc 25(6 + 49*4)

how do i solve this problem? the inverse is f(y) = (y^2)+2, but i don't know what to do with the domain and range
is it?
,w graph y^2+2
,w graph 2-sqrt(x)
Dom(inv_fn) = range(fn)
,w graph x^2+2 and 2-sqrt(x)
I don't think that's the invers
looking at the graphs it doesn't seem like its mirrored on f(x)=x
wait i found it its (-y+2)^2 haha

Hi
Can someone explain how to solve this problem
U mean like it could be log base 10? I'm pretty sure it means log base e
I mean I'm hoping it's not the default log, so I'm treating it as ln

$25x^2 +4$
AllUtility
over C or over R
you cant either over C assuming you want some integers
oh wait you can i am just blind oops
what does this mean
do you want to factor it into a product of real polynomials
sure
or are you ok if they are complex polynomials
factor completely
ok
so usually R or C
if you want to factor it over R, you can't factor it further
over C you can
ok how
you can factor a^2+b^2=(a+bi)(a-bi) over C
what is a and b here
5x^2 + 2
no
no

would be 25x^2 +20x+4 try again
so 25x^2 + 4 = (5x)^2+2^2 which is now in the form a^2+b^2 with a=5x and b=2
so now we can use the formula from before
and factor it as (5x+2i)(5x-2i)
what is the i ?
do you know what complex numbers are
nno

is it right way to apply comparison method?
no.....
why
What you showed isn't what you think it is.
$\frac{2^n+3^n}{3^n+2^n} = 1$\
So $\sum \frac{2^n+3^n}{3^n+2^n} = \sum 1 \to \infty$
Zybikron
every term of second series is bigger than first ones yes?
sure
graph of this will be y=1 straight line yes?
then why it cant be right way to apply this method
it will always be under 1
1/2 is always under 1 too
,w int from 0 to inf of 1 dx
if I add 1/2 to itself infinitely it doesn't converge
you basically showed your series is 'bounded' by infinity, which is basically always true.
You got no information about the convergence/divergence of your original series.
ohh yeah got the point
then which method can i use to find the divergence or convergece for the left series
it's the right idea. you want to find a series that is larger than yours term by term, but then show that your larger series converges.
That gives you that your oroginal series converges.

Help
try using quotient rule for g'(x) first
I know the quotient rule but where is the other value?
what "other value" ?
you just need x=2
I thought quotient rule requires a numerator and denominator
yeah. x is in the numerator, f(x) is in the denominator.
you don't plug in the number BEFORE differentiating
g'(x) is a function
so 2/g'(2)?
I'm sorry I get confused easily
Sorry for some reason my maths book only has examples of quotient rule questions involving sin and cos
your answer for g'(x) shouldn't have g itself
$\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{f(x)}\right)=$

i need to learn from matrix to integrals
what is best stratgy?

If i didnt start doing this i would try apply laplace progression on 3x3 matrix
best way to learn math is to try and fail
Practice is good
yes
ie practice
i tried to solve 3x3 determinant with laplace
and now i learned sarrus rule
artifical inteligence say this
That's using 2 x 2 minors
wtf
It's a fairly easy method
personally my favorite way to find determinants is
Here you can calculate a determinant of a matrix with complex numbers online for free with a very detailed solution.
I already tried solve with minors
🤠
In this section, we will learn the two different methods in finding the determinant of a 3 x 3 matrix. Instead of memorizing the formula directly, we can use these two methods to compute the determinant. The first method is the general method. This method requires you to look at the first three entries of the matrix. For each entry, you want to ...
I think it's that way
so i just do minor + minor + minor
each minor multiplied by value of that element?
What?

is this how to solve determinant of 3x3 using minors?
wait
he was using sarrus rule for the 3x3 matrix
he can only use laplace expansion for 4x4 right?
That's a different method
No, you can use it for any size matrix, I believe
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
You can't do this to find the determinant, it's only rows or columns, not diagonals
The reason why this is wrong, is the signs are wrong
yes i didnt do that
i did for second row
the diagonal circles were my wrong understanding of sarrus rule
The sign chart for the second row is different compared to the first row
If you look up Laplace expansion, part of the formula is (-1)^(i + j)
And that's the sign for that coefficient
hmm
but i always thought its unncesary
i can just apply the
and so on?
is it as such?
So because you used the second row, that element in the second row, first column is (2, 1) so (-1)^(2 + 1) = (-1)^3 = -1
So the sign of that, when using Laplace expansion, is negative, but you made it positive

can anyone give me a hint as to how to tackle this one?
use the binomial distribution
Is there a way to do this one without binomial distribution? I know we will cover binomial distribution, but we haven't covered it yet, which makes me think that he wants us to use a different strategy. I am thinking the instructor can choose from 4/10 questions, then 3/10, then 2/10, so multiplied together would be 3/125.....but I am not sure if this is even a valid process
yes that's fine

So far, I've inserted the basis vectors inside of a matrix, then row reduced. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed from here, especially because I don't want to guess and check to see if I can stumble into a correct linear combination

Hi! So I'm trying to help a friend of mine with her math homework, but for some reason, I never learned absolute value graphs properly😅
Basically, I'm asking about a particular integral of an absolute value of x^2-1. Like I said before, I never really learned absolute value domains & ranges properly. I know what the graph itself looks like for the absolute value of x (the parent function) only, but I don't know anything when it comes to mixing up with other types of functions (linear, quadratic, cubic, exponential, trig like sine, cosine, or tangent with AN ABSOLUTE VALUE) & finding their domains/ranges (this also includes the parent function of |x|). So my friend's question, which also turned out to be a good question for me as well since I also struggled with this before, is....."From only an equation, like |x^2-1| in this case, how do you find that domain of x-values that that graph becomes positive in (since the graph itself doesn't pass through the x-axis due to the absolute value.........look at the 2 Desmos graphs from before + after with the absolute value & see how it changed things.......like how the 2nd one matches that of the example purple paged problem with the graph to the right) where it would usually become negative (in terms of behavior passing the x-axis normally)? Like how do they know that for x^2-1, it's domain is 1 <= x <= 2?
/ Like how they know that it's x^2-1 for 1 <= x <= 2? The same goes for the other. Like how do they know that for -x^2+1, it's domain is 0 <= x <= 1? / Like how they know that it's -x^2+1 for 0 <= x <= 1? So like how do you know for each one (x^2-1 vs. -x^2+1) are between those specific domains/values? Is it really just by looking at the graph to the right or is there some mathematical pathway explanation? To me, it looks mathematical because I don't get what they're doing that part in red all the way at the end with their explanation versions for both? Adding on to that, why are all the inequality signs "= to" as well?
Rather than me continuously asking back & forth, I think the best way to explain this to me all in one go is to start from the parent graph of |x| (analyze everything about that & in order to integrate explicitly, explain how these representations from the parent graph correlate to everything in this problem specifically). I'm a visual learner, so if you can either write out everything on a piece of paper/iPad (like parent graph of |x| vs. integral of an absolute value of x^2-1) or make a short video talking about everything step by step, that would honestly be great & end with a summary response to our question, we would greatly appreciate it.
Please & Thank you!
What in gods name
Get your friend in here
And ngl we ain't gonna read all that
Tell me in a single sentence what's the issue
Yeah can u make a tldr
Look at the last picture then
And my friend doesn't have Discord. Long story why she doesn't, so I decided to ask it here.
Well okay the thing about $x^2-1$ is that it has a region that's negative. Using analysis and function behavior it's easy to tell that from $x \in (-1, 1), x^2 - 1 < 0$. The absolute value will make it behave like $1-x^2$, but only for that interval.
Umbraleviathan
What's that E symbol? It looks familiar from the bot. Uhhhhhhhhhhh, explain it in different words
Here is the idea: @alpine sable
Ngl it'll be a lot easier if your friend got discord
She can't. Parent restrictions. Don't ask.
An absolute value function can be represented like this
[
|x| = \begin{cases} \hphantom{-}x, &\quad x \geq 0 \ -x, &\quad x < 0 \end{cases}
]
In its most basic form. This basically tells us that an absolute value function is just a collection of multiple functions 'sewn' up together in a sense. Aka piece wise functions.
\vspace{5 mm}
Those piecewise representations of the absolute value function can be determined by their 'roots'. Since we are looking at when exactly the insides of the absolute value function are going to be positive and negative
Lixera
For your case, for example
You have |x^2 -1|, x^2 -1 will always be positive for values of x larger than 1 right? Since 2^2 - 1 = 3 is positive for example
While a value lesser than 1 is in fact negative such as (0.5)^2 -1
This helps because our goal is to turn the absolute value function into its piecewise form
We are considering values of x greater than 0 since the lower bound of the integral is 0. So we can disregard the other root of -1
All in all, we split the bounds for 0 to 1 and 1 to 2 because 1 is one of the roots of the absolute value in your integral
It being a root makes us able to split it into cases of where the function is either positive or negative for the interval surrounding it
Also are you here or am I just talking to myself
Okay I'm talking to myself so I will stop
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
I'm here. I was waiting till you were finished.
Let me read it all now
Yeah it's really hard to just write a lot of stuff at once and expect you to get it instantly so just tell me what you don't understand
Don't you mean larger than 0, not 1? Like x^2-1 >= 0?
No I'm just talking about when x^2 -1 is positive
It will get positive for values lesser than -1 and greater than 1 , but again we disregard the -1 here because your integral starts from 0 to begin with
By any chance, is there a way to voice call about this problem, that way it'll be easier to talk it out & understand this type of problem?
Uh sure yeah
Idk how to set it up unless you want to do it individually outside of the server....
Oh yeah they disabled vcs in the server
Okay well
I will just call u normally
ok

Looking at the y-axis
It’s the total amount of rain over the time period
D is a slower increasing graph compared to the rest the other graphs increase faster meaning that as time increases the total amount of rain increases

Any hints on how to solve this conics problem
I see there is some symmetry witj the parabolas with their vertex and points coinciding
But idk how to exploit it
They alao want us to only have the intersection between x=0 and x=1 but idk how to restrict that
@willow brook Has your question been resolved?
(if someone replies, can you ping me)
@willow brook Has your question been resolved?
hi
it seems you found the right equations for the parabolas
i believe you made a mistake on this step
but its the right thing to do, even though it seems ridiculous to have x^4

What do the d and p variables represent
i need help with question 2 of https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/a/26f2119e4d1d603c222cc3ee64c4e07ba8bb37.pdf
you must get your own channel
how?
please read #❓how-to-get-help
you must post your question in one of the unoccupied channels
it says integrate 1/p^2 wrt p, as p varies from 4 to x^3
and differentiate that result wrt to x
But why is the d there
SilverSoldier
this stands for the integral of the function f(p) wrt p

f(x)=xsin(1/x) does the function have limiting point 1 or 0, is it discontinous at x=0, or it has no limit?
@sterile rover Has your question been resolved?
What do you mean by limiting point? As in does the limit exist as you go to zero? For that I’ll say 🥪
As for continuity, as it is, it isn’t defined at x=0 currently

Simplifying square roots—
I have the final answer. I know how to set up the problem, know how to navigate through it a couple of steps, but I don’t understand how the final answer was gotten.
Hmm
Good step is that you divided up 512 into 64*8
Then you applied $\sqrt{ab} = \sqrt a \sqrt b$
VulcanOne
Yeah it is weird.. now that I look at it
That’s fine, I don’t have to use that way. I just need to know a good reliable way of simplifying sqrts 😅
$\sqrt{64} \times \sqrt 8 = 8 \sqrt{4 \times 2}$
VulcanOne
This is how you break down root 8
If you work with computers enough you should just know that 512 is a power of 2 and you don't need to do this iterative factorization
$\sqrt 8 = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt 2$

anyone know how to approach question 24
It shouldn't be much different from 23
Are you having trouble with seperating the domain?
yes
Can you show your work first?
I want to know what you've figured out so far
i don't understand how to get started
Then can you show your work for 23?
i was only assigned 24 😭
Whattttt 😭
f(|x-5|+2) basically means you subb in t=|x-5|+2
Can you do that and show me what you got?
You're not wrong, but for these kind of questions, writing the domain is very important
where do i go from here
This would be a more accutlrate expression
ouhhh ok where do I go from there
You need to simplify it
Can you simplify these two first?
All you need to do is expand
(Don't expand the thing in the absolute value, though)
How do I do that 
uhhhh

I was thrown off by this sentence for an entire day struggle to understand what it means
I assume it's referring to the equation a≡b(mod m), so when a(mod m)≡b(mod m), a is reduced modulo m? But that doesn't make any reference to the number b?

How do I express 2^3(2^n) x 9^3 / 2^4 x 3^n+8 as a prime factor?
I found a better way to phrase your question
"How to simplify until reaching the factors"
Anyways
$\frac{2^3 (2^n) \times 9^3}{2^4 \times 3^{n +8}}$
Is this right?
VulcanOne
Like that?
yea
3^2
So 9^3 = ???
