I need help with b) and c) (fundemental theorem of calculus)

#

with a) its just by definition, with b) i did a substitution t = u^2

#

But im not sure i understand how the interval of integration is affected by this substitution

pliant wedge
#

not sure if b) is correct thats what im asking

#

and for c) i don't know

last tendon
#

For b) you should consider the function $H(x) = \int_0^{x} f(t) dt$ and notice that $H(x^2) = G(x)$.

ocean sealBOT
#

Hexicle

pliant wedge
#

Okay, how does that help me?

last tendon
#

This lets you calculate H'(x) directly using the fundamental theorem of calculus

#

and consequently you know how to calculate H'(x^2) = G'(x)

pliant wedge
#

So, H'(x) = f(x) and then H'(x^2) = f(x^2) = G'(x) ?

last tendon
#

No. You need to use the chain rule

pliant wedge
#

i dont see how i apply chain rule here

#

oh nevermind

#

thanks

#

what about c)?

last tendon
#

I don't even know what C is asking. That's not even a complete sentence.

pliant wedge
#

oh right, its asking what is the minimum and maximum amount of solutions the equation F(x) = G(x) can have?

#

i was thinking that G'(x) > F'(x) so its increasing a lot faster but for x in (0,1) its not true and a lot can happen on that interval

last tendon
#

Is that actually what it's asking? I'm just a little surprised

pliant wedge
#

yes that its asking

#

is it that easy and im not seeing something lol?

last tendon
#

Well you should differentiate both sides of F(x) = G(x) consider different cases of f(t).

#

I just haven't seen this asked before, it's not a bad exercise, but it's new to me

pliant wedge
#

i still dont understand

#

f(t^2)(1-2t) = 0

#

f is never 0 since f() is always positive so the only solution is t = 1/2

#

is this right?

#

@last tendon sry for ping but u are the only one helping me rn

last tendon
#

I don't know what R - (0, inf) means

#

Is that a function with a domain where it is the reals without the interval (0, inf) or is that a function from the reals to the interval (0, inf)

pliant wedge
#

sorry it should have been an arrow there

last tendon
#

That seems fine then

pliant wedge
#

I checked the solution and it says "The equation can have one or two solutions"

last tendon
#

There is probably a subtlety I am overlooking with the x^2 term adding a second solution but I would need a pencil and paper and I have neither right now.

#

I don't see it at a glance and f(x^2) (1-2x) = 0 looks right to me doing it in my head

pliant wedge
#

i mean i can see the problem being that we derived and we lost some solutions, but f is always positive so f(x^2) (1-2x) = 0 this will always just be x = 1/2

last tendon
#

I guess F'(x) = G'(x) tells you that 1/2 must be a solution, but you are asking for solutions to F(x) = G(x) and both are even functions

pliant wedge
#

ohhh

#

nicee this makes sense, thank you

cartesian products

lone heartBOT
trim tendon
#

is 5. just a convention?>

vale wigeon
#

no

#

this can be proved

trim tendon
#

wouldn't it be (something from A, nothing)

#

(nothing, something from A)

#

why is that equal to "nothing"

#

or empty set

heady pollen
#

the x is the cartesian product
so if we have sets A and B with a in A
then we will for example have the elements (a,b1), (a,b2), ..., (a,bn)
and this for all a in A
but since in this case A has no elements at all, we just get "nothing"

#

which of the x is bothering you ?

#

ahh i see

#

do you know the expression of work done

#

in terms of change in the total kinetic energy of the system since we are talking about inelastic collision that is why we are accounting for the work done by the frictional force on the system

#

thus influencing the change in the kinetic energy of the system

#

$W=\int F \cdot dx$

[ɸ]=1.618033988749....

#

@alpine sable

alpine sable
#

ohhh so F here is our normal force?

hardy tangle
#

nah the frictinal force

#

frictional force*

alpine sable
#

oh right

hardy tangle
#

cause the work done is by the frictional force

alpine sable
#

wait so why do i have equate the kinetic energy to the potential + work done?

hardy tangle
#

cause of Work energy Theorem

unkempt sundial
#

collision is not elastic so kinetic energy is conserved

alpine sable
#

waitttttt so is potential energy + work done equal to the KE?

unkempt sundial
#

yah sure

alpine sable
#

no my brain hurts

#

so initial KE = final KE

#

so i get why we have the potential energy

#

but the work is still confusing

hardy tangle
alpine sable
#

aaaaaahhhhh i think i understand so work done is the kinetic energy of the final system

#

thank you guys for your help!!!

unkempt sundial
#

oh you already asked there 💀

i was desperate

This is probably a mistake i have made due to not paying attention, but I got 2 out of this, while the answer cannot be 2. Here is my work (only took me 20 goddamn minutes to put togheter digitally like this 😕 )

placid zinc
#

Line 3:
a √3 should actually be 3

#

Your method works, but it might be easier to start by rationaling the denominator on the first fraction instead, especially since you end up rationalizing in the end

spiral dirge

y = secx - tanx/sec x + tan x , what is dy/dx

spiral dirge
#

what?

raven rover
#

You should know to put parentheses man

spiral dirge
#

ok (sec x - tan x)/ (sec x + tan x)

raven rover
#

!status

lone heartBOT
#
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
spiral dirge
#

between 2 and 3

raven rover
spiral dirge
#

ah

#

so first,
i simplified y,
rationalise with (sec x - tan x) on numerator and denominator,
you get y = (secx - tan x)^2
turned it into
1 + 2 tan sq x -2 tanx/cos x( as sec x isnt easily differentiable)
upon differentiation,
you get 0 + 4secxtanx -2cos^2/cos^3

#

and the answer is far off

#

which is 2 sec x(2tan x - 1)

spiral dirge
#

i turn 1 into sec^2 - tan ^2?

#

that seems like unsimplifying..

#

<@&286206848099549185> , could you please explain how (2tan - 1) turns into (sec - tan )^2

tacit arch
spiral dirge
#

yes

tacit arch
spiral dirge
#

sedc^2- tan ^2 = 1?

tacit arch
#

When you say "simplified y"

spiral dirge
#

yes

#

thats how i took my denominator as 1

tacit arch
#

Oh I see now

#

Write your answer in terms of sec and tan

spiral dirge
#

i did..

spiral dirge
tacit arch
#

,w expand (sec(x) - tan(x))^2

spiral dirge
#

tacit arch

#

i got 2sec(2tan - 1)

i didnt get the answer

you get y = (secx - tan x)^2
turned it into

true acorn
#

is anybody able to help me with this question?

true acorn
#

i need a very detailed response im very lost

willow patio
#

Hmmm, well when you are finding volume you need three dimensions (length, width and height). Correct @true acorn ?

#

And problem a) wants possible dimensions.

#

What three things multiply to be $4x^3 - 21x^2+29x-6$

ocean sealBOT
true acorn
#

no clue

#

i know i need to find a factor

willow patio
#

Yes!

true acorn
#

but idk how

willow patio
#

Ah, well, do you remember the (x-k) rule?

royal socket
#

RRT pandaHugg pandaHugg pandaHugg pandaHugg pandaHugg pandaHugg

true acorn
#

no clue

#

i remember doing something like this

#

i have it infront of me, but i just cant remember i cant connect the dots

willow patio
#

when you have a factor (x-k) you can plug in k to the equation (for x) and find the whole equation to equal 0

trail remnant
#

oh, you could test values of x and see if any equal 0. but i cant think of a way to work this out without a calculator

willow patio
#

So, can you think of a number that you would plug in for x to get $4x^3 - 21x^2+29x-6 = 0$

ocean sealBOT
trail remnant
#

then if you find V(x) = 0 for an x then its a factor, making polynomial division

true acorn
#

do i need to do long division tp find a factor

#

wait i could just plug into desmos right

trail remnant
#

yes, if youre allowed

#

i would use my calculator but idk if yours can do it.

true acorn
#

x-2 is a factor

#

now

#

im lost again

willow patio
#

Yup, so can you divide x-2 out of the polynomial?

trail remnant
#

ah, now you can use x = 2, so you want to do (x-2)/(4x^3-21x^2+29x-6)

foggy current
#

According to a theorem (I forgot it's name), if a is is a root of a polynomial, then the polynomial is divisible by x-a

trail remnant
#

then from the x^2 polynomial uses quadratic formula

true acorn
#

oh shit i think im remembering now

true acorn
#

factor therem?

foggy current
torn elk
#

the name is useful to find information when needed anyways

willow patio
#

Ok, ok people. Give @true acorn a chance to solve this.

#

Maclain, can you divide 4x^3-21x^2+29x-6 by x-2?

true acorn
#

yeah im doing synthetic division rn

willow patio
#

Cool!

true acorn
#

give me a sec

#

thanks so much

foggy current
#

Oh yeah

true acorn
#

okay i got this

#

(x-2)(x-3)(4x-1)

willow patio
#

Awesome that's the answer to a!

#

Now, looking at b what are the restrictions that keep the volume from being negative

true acorn
#

im gonna be honest

#

i have no clue

willow patio
#

with (x-2)(x-3)(4x-1) what is a value that makes the volume negative?

#

just one

true acorn
#

x=1?

#

wait no

willow patio
#

when does it stop being negative?

true acorn
#

x=1

#

bc x=1 = 0

royal socket
true acorn
#

LMAO

#

IDK

willow patio
#

hm, really? when you plug in 1 you get 0?

foggy current
#

the volume will be negative if an odd number of factors are negative

true acorn
#

yeah when i plug x=1 i get 0

willow patio
#

(1-2)(1-3)(4(1)-1) = (-1)(-2)(3) = 6?

foggy current
#

are you able to write out the conditions for V to be negative according to the hint above?

true acorn
#

should i just keep doing trial and error

willow patio
#

well, 2 gives you a zero right?

#

so that is gonna be one of your boundary points.

#

What other points give 0?

true acorn
#

x-3 and 4x-1

willow patio
#

So what values of x?

true acorn
#

3 and 1/4

#

2 3 1/4

willow patio
#

Yup, so what ranges are viable and which aren't?

true acorn
#

idk 😭

#

im so sorry man

#

im so lost again

willow patio
#

well we know that 1 is positive right (6)

true acorn
#

OHHHH

#

is it

#

(1/4,2)U(3,infinity)

willow patio
#

YEA!

tidal bane
#

So im guessing this is not possible XD

lone heartBOT
naive valley
#

but you also need to consider the case 2x+1 < 0

willow patio
#

but since he just defined it as x>2, I think he is good, no?

naive valley
#

well that work implies that if 2x+1 > 0, then x > 2

#

it doesn't mean that x > 2 in the other case

#

the first line doesn't imply -x + 2 < 0 if the denominator is negative

willow patio
#

Sure, but if 2x+1 <0 you still perform the same operation and get the same answer, right?

if 2x+1 < 0 then the second line will be -x + 2 > 0

#

not < 0

willow patio
#

ah, gotcha. Ya, you are right

tidal bane
#

wait I dont get it ,what do you mean
2x + 1 < 0
then
-x +2 >0

willow patio
#

because that implies that 2x+1 is negative so when you multiply it the < becomes >

tidal bane
#

I still dont get is
2x + 1 < 0 okay this means 2x+1 is negative so what is the problem

naive valley
tidal bane
#

I multiplied bot h sides with 2x+1

naive valley
#

yes

#

and what happens if you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number?

tidal bane
#

the sighn changes ?

naive valley
#

the direction of the inequality changes

#

the < becomes >

#

so your second line would be wrong if the denominator was negative

tidal bane
#

interesting I never saw this interaction

naive valley
#

easiest to see with some specific numbers

#

of course 1 > 0 is true

#

what happens if you multiply both sides by -1

#

if you didn't change the inequality direction you would get -1 > 0, which is obviously false

tidal bane
#

yeah that makes so much more sense

#

so this should work then ?

naive valley
#

so usually in situations like this where you have a fraction in an inequality and you want to multiply both sides by the denominator, you consider two cases

tidal bane
naive valley
#

yep, that's the correct work in the case where 2x+1 < 0

#

so now you have to interpret your results in the two cases

tidal bane
#

so I cant just say x < 2 I have to do both
-x + 2 < 0
2x + 1< 0

naive valley
#

there are two regions where it's negative

#

x > 2

#

and x < something (not 2)

#

you have to work out the latter

tidal bane
#

okay I got it now I just dont see how there are 2 instance where its negative isnt only one line in negative ?

naive valley
#

and then everything to the right of x=2 is negative

#

but you can see for example that at x=1 it's positive

#

so there's some interval in the middle where it's positive

tidal bane
naive valley
#

cool

#

just takes a bit of practice

tidal bane
#

yeah thanks again

swift sequoia
#

Hi, can somebody help me out with this?

swift sequoia
#

I have to find the value for r

#

for the line to be tangent with this circle

proven rune
#

solve both equations

#

and use discriminant = 0

swift sequoia
#

so get them both equal to 0?

#

and the solve for r?

proven rune
#

so wtf

#

just subsitute x = -4y-r/3

#

in 2nd equation

#

ull get a quadratic

#

in terms of y

#

use D=0 for tangency

swift sequoia
#

what is the discriminant?

#

I don't get it

random gorge
#

you can find the circle center and then using that radius is perpendicular to tangent line in the tangent point

swift sequoia
#

then what?

random gorge
#

do you know the formula ?

swift sequoia
#

the perpendicular distance?

random gorge
#

yep

swift sequoia
#

from where to where?

random gorge
#

from the center to your line

swift sequoia
#

but I need to make that line tanget to the circle by changing the parameter r on the line equation

#

I can only move the line

random gorge
#

use the formula with r

#

and then because it should be size of radius

#

you can solve for r

swift sequoia
#

do you mean this?

random gorge
#

solve this

swift sequoia
#

thank you so much

#

I struggled a lot with that one

random gorge
swift sequoia
random gorge
swift sequoia
#

I need to find the circle that passes through these points

swift sequoia
random gorge
#

so you know that the perpendicular bisector of the chords of circle pass throug its center

swift sequoia
#

.-.

random gorge
#

do you know what is a perpendicular bisector ?

swift sequoia
#

not really

random gorge
#

ok

pale coral
#

@swift sequoia

Do you know the general equation of a circle?

swift sequoia
#

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

#

that one?

pale coral
#

Yes.

#

First, create 3 equations and form a triple simultaneous equation.

#

For the first equation, substitute in the first point into x and y.

Repeat with the next two points with the next two equations.

#

Now, use algebra and/or simultaneous equations to solve for h, k, and r.

random gorge
pale coral
#

Substitute your h, k, and r values into the formula to find your general equation.

swift sequoia
pale coral
#

Now solve for the three unknowns.

swift sequoia
#

ok, then solve for the rest

pale coral
#

Once you have all three, substitute them back into (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 to find the equation.

swift sequoia
pale coral
swift sequoia
#

I think it is

pale coral
#

Glad to be of help.

I need help with this problem

lone heartBOT
placid zinc
#

Can you solve that for k?

eager walrus
#

Thats all the info i've got

#

it has to be possible i copied it exactly from a test

random gorge
#

then get a ln from both sides and then solve it

#

i dont know if this works

#

or not

placid zinc
#

I know that's the info you have.
Do you know the steps needed to solve that for k?

eager walrus
#

I can

placid zinc
#

k = ln(243x⁵) / x

eager walrus
#

right, but i don't know what to do with that

placid zinc
#

I thought that would be more illuminating, haha

#

We can do this:
k = 5ln(3x)/x
k = 5ln(3)/x + 5ln(x)/x

random gorge
#

and see what is the range of our function

placid zinc
#

Yeah. Basically that. But I assume we can't just use tech

eager walrus
#

Yeah i think i can do that

#

i mean we can aproximate the graph

placid zinc
#

When x = 1, k = 0
When x approaches inf, k approaches 0,

So there's a maximum somewhere

noble frost
#

is using geometry the only way to find the number of possible tangents on a function from a certain point

noble frost
#

when the function is a transcendental one

acoustic beacon
placid zinc
#

What is a transcendental function?

noble frost
#

like

#

a^x

#

sinx

#

etc

acoustic beacon
noble frost
#

thats not true

acoustic beacon
noble frost
#

but you cant

acoustic beacon
#

You can use smaller and smaller increments and get a new tangent every time.

noble frost
#

just generalize

#

the whole thing

acoustic beacon
#

I said if the function was differentiable.

placid zinc
#

Is that not 200 different tangents all taken from different points?

acoustic beacon
#

It's possible.

noble frost
#

no

#

what about a cubic

#

thats a differentiable function

#

but the number of possible tangents is limited

acoustic beacon
noble frost
#

also

#

i said a certain point

#

ur literally changing the "certain point"

acoustic beacon
#

You said from a certain point.

noble frost
#

??

acoustic beacon
#

function from a certain point

noble frost
#

yeah like (1,2)

#

u have a set of points

#

ur misunderstanding

#

the question

#

im asking rn

placid zinc
#

This question has gone a weird direction. What did you want to know? Other methods from geometry?

noble frost
#

like this

#

as you can see i can draw 2 tangents

#

from that point

placid zinc
#

Oh I see

noble frost
#

and if the function is a polynomial i can prove it algebraically

acoustic beacon
#

Oh I got it.

placid zinc
#

The number of tangents that pass through a certain point

acoustic beacon
#

Yeah.

noble frost
acoustic beacon
#

Yeah I get that now.

acoustic beacon
# noble frost so this isnt my question

Sorry had to got for a bit. But basically you find the equation for the tangent line of the function and then plug in the x and y values of the specific point and solve for the remaining variable.

#

Ping if you didn't understand.

lone heartBOT

@noble frost Has your question been resolved?

noble frost

no

#

but

Person's base swimming speed is 5 mph
person can swim 4 miles up stream in the same amount of time that he can swim 16 miles down stream.
The homework assignment wants you to use direct and inverse variation
I can solve the problem using a system of equations but I have no idea how to solve the problem using k=xy and y=k/x

So far I got
4=(5-c)t
16=(5+c)t
for the person swimming up and down stream respectively

would you know what the angle BCD is?

what can you say about the line segments BC and CD?

heady void

adgle BCD is 90deg

and BC and CD are parallel

so angle ADC is 90 too

surreal meadow

but yes to the others

seeing as those are right triangles and isosceles, you can deduce the triangles are 45 45 90 triangles

junior crystal
#

I have no clue

lone heartBOT
vapid shuttle
#

What does it mean for a function to be odd?

#

Can you give me an example of an odd function?

junior crystal
#

f(x) = x

vapid shuttle
#

Why is that an odd function?

junior crystal
#

it holds for any x value

vapid shuttle
#

What holds?

alpine sable
#

What is the definition of an odd function, to you?

junior crystal
#

the equation, in the domain of f it will hold for x and -x

vapid shuttle
#

That is not what it means to be an odd function, I don't know what you mean by "it holds"

junior crystal
#

thats what my notes say, im not really sure ig

vapid shuttle
#

I think you are forgetting a key piece

median oar
#

What do you think your notes mean?

vapid shuttle
#

an odd function, has the property f(-x)=-f(x)

#

Can you tell me what this means?

#

your function, y=x, was an odd function, because it has that property

#

But what does that property really mean

#

in simple terms

junior crystal
#

when x changes sign so do the other terms?

#

f(x) = x
f(-x) = -x

vapid shuttle
#

Basically, the function is unchanged if you rotate it 180 degrees about the origin. Whatever value y is to the right of the y-axis, it is the negative version of that the same distance away to the left of the y-axis

#

,w plot y=x

vapid shuttle
#

for example

#

f(1)=1

#

so f(-1)=-1

#

you can think of taking the function on the right hand side of the y-axis, and just flipping it about the y, and then the x- axis's and that will be what you get on the left hand side of the y-axis

#

so another example

#

,w plot y=x^3

vapid shuttle
#

can you see what it means to be odd?

junior crystal
#

yes, its symmetric around the origin

#

so rotating it 180 degrees maps the graph back onto itself

vapid shuttle
#

so looking back here

#

what do you know about the value of the integral of f(x) from say -2 to 0

junior crystal
#

would it be 5

#

or -5?

vapid shuttle
#

you tell me

#

imagine an odd function

#

,w plot y=x

vapid shuttle
#

is the area on the left the same as the area on the right? (over symmetric bounds)

#

or is it the negative version of the area on the right?

junior crystal
#

shouldnt it be negative since its below

median oar
#

Remember that $\int_a^bf(x)dx=\int_a^cf(x)dx+\int_c^bf(x)dx \forall c\in [a, b]$

vapid shuttle
#

yes, it should

ocean sealBOT
#

Frosst

vapid shuttle
ocean sealBOT
#

AustinU

junior crystal
#

-5

vapid shuttle
#

and the value of $\int_{0}^{2} f(x) dx = we know is?$

ocean sealBOT
#

AustinU

junior crystal
#

5

ocean sealBOT
#

AustinU

#

AustinU

vapid shuttle
#

based on integral rules (like Frosst sent)

#

@junior crystal

junior crystal
#

the sum would be 0

#

how would it work for an even function like this question

vapid shuttle
#

you didn't finish answering my second question about the last question

junior crystal
#

oh i thought that was the answer

#

it would be 0

vapid shuttle
junior crystal
#

it is the same isnt it

vapid shuttle
#

yes

#

but it must be clear to you that it is, to know that your answer is correct

junior crystal
#

its just being done seperately in the first one

vapid shuttle
#

yes, good

#

Even functions have a different property

#

f(x)=f(-x)

junior crystal
#

theyre symmetric around y axis

vapid shuttle
#

mhm

#

so is the area on the left = to the area on the right?

junior crystal
#

yes

vapid shuttle
#

so...

#

do you know how to finish?

junior crystal
#

for this one, since the integral from 0 to 10 = 4

#

from -10 to 0 it would also be 4 right?

vapid shuttle
#

yes

junior crystal
#

then adding the sum of that would be 8

vapid shuttle
#

yes

junior crystal
#

okay thank you, ima do some more practice on them

vapid shuttle
#

The two things that you just realized here is

#

the integral from -a to a of an odd function is zero

#

and the integral from -a to a of an even function is 2 * the integral from 0 to a

#

these are nice properties to know

#

good work!

junior crystal
#

thank you, you should get a raise

#

you’d hit 2nd F then 1

obsidian marten

but when i type 27 then press 2ndF % it gives me ERROR 1

surreal meadow
#

oh i see

obsidian marten
#

is there a function for that or do i need to do it manually? e.g. 23-(3*7)

surreal meadow
#

i’m not sure, i don’t know this calculator

but something with small numbers like these should be relatively easy to do manually

to find the value of P , is it 30 or 60

this diagram is too crude to tell.

do you have a written problem statement?

grizzled zephyr

the answer is 60 anyways

#

but i was wondering why

#

doesnt central angle = 1/2 arc

vale wigeon
#

no, the central angle equals the arc itself,

#

but also with this diagram it is impossible to tell that angle P is central

im stuck here. No idea how to start

stable pecan
#

Are you familiar with derivatives and integrals?

young ore
#

a little

#

i've missed out on a lot of classwork due to sickness and im stuck here

stable pecan
#

I see

#

I will suggest to review how position, displacement, velocity and acceleration are related using derivatives and integrals

#

As this will be required information to proceed studying further Kinematics

barren shuttle
#

For now note that velocity is the derivative of position and acceleration is the derivative of velocity

young ore
#

I will have a look into that but i was hoping for someone to help me solve the question as I need them for tomorrow

stable pecan
#

It's difficult to understand the solutions with clarity if you aren't familiar with these concepts. However, to proceed here, you should find the integral of v to get position s

young ore
#

i've worked it out just to confirm from you guys if its right

#

s = 3t^3 - 6t^2 + 5t - 7

#

this was my answer

stable pecan
#

This is correct. Good job!

young ore
#

thank you very much

#

its really not that hard once I understood the basics

#

but thanks again for the advice 🙂

Determine all natural numbers n such that it is possible to cover an n x n board with T tetrominos and odd number of O tetrominos with no overlaps.

craggy token
#

How would I solve this one?

upbeat hornet
#

What have you tried?

craggy token
#

I've tried to find the configurations, but the one I ended up with use even numbers of O tetrominos

#

I'm still trying to find the configurations

lone heartBOT
#

@craggy token Has your question been resolved?

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

Ah, alright.

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

No, there aren't

#

I've found a configuration using a 6 x 6 board

#

Using 5 O tetrominoes

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

Yeah

#

It also works with 10 x 10

#

I used 4 T tetrominoes to make a 4 x 4 square

upbeat hornet
upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

6 x 6, 10 x 10, 14 x 14

#

I'm guessing it works when n = 4k + 2 for natural numbers k

#

(just a guess)

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

How can I write a proof for this?

#

I'm kind of confused, sorry.

upbeat hornet
upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

Sorry if it’s kind of messy

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

So for nonnegative integer k

craggy token
upbeat hornet
#

Yes, but are there any gaps?

craggy token
#

what do you mean by gaps?

#

like spaces uncovered?

upbeat hornet
#

yes

craggy token
#

no there aren't

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

Alright, hold on.

upbeat hornet
#

because this is to confirm a describable pattern

craggy token
#

My thought is that, for an (4k + 2) x (4k + 2) board, I can replace any 4 x 4 i see with those 4 tetrominoes, and it'll leave an (4k + 2) x (4k + 2) L-shape that I can fill with odd number of O tetrominoes

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

Yes

upbeat hornet
#

then it’s much easier to prove that n = 4k + 2 can be filled

craggy token
#

for n = 4k + 2 the board will have an area of (4k + 2)^2 = 16k^2 + 16k + 4 = 4(4k^2 + 4k + 1) which is divisible by 4 (the area of an O tetromino), so we would need 4k^2 + 4k + 1 number of O tetrominoes, which is clearly odd

#

Is that what you mean?

#

assuming there are no T tetrominoes

upbeat hornet
#

but being pedantic, I will point out that the area being divisible by 4 doesn’t necessarily imply that it can be filled by O tetrominoes

#

for example, 1 x 4 rectangle

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

how about odd n and n = 4k?

upbeat hornet
#

have you tried proving/disproving fillableness for n = 1 and n = 3 and n = 4? small cases are easier

craggy token
#

yeah

upbeat hornet
#

can you extend those proofs to bigger numbers?

craggy token
#

n = 1 clearly can't, because we have a 3 x 1 and 2 x 2 tetrominoes
n = 3 also can't because a 3 x 1 tetromino and 2 x 2 tetrominio will leave no room for other tetrominoes, and will leave gaps.
n = 4 also can't because we would require even number of O tetrominoes (even 0, if we are using 4 T tetrominoes)

craggy token
upbeat hornet
#

or you can prove the simpler/weaker case of having no T tetrominoes

craggy token
#

hmm alright

#

i think i got the gist of it

upbeat hornet
#

what have you got?

craggy token
#

I'm using the idea of the areas again.
for odd n, i can prove simply for n = 1 and n = 3 that it does not work. For odd n >= 5, I can say that n = 2k + 1 will have an area of 4k^2 + 4k + 1. I can try to cover it with O tetrominoes and T tetrominoes, but it will always leave gaps that can't be filled (for example, an L shape with dimension 1 x (2k + 1)).
for n = 4k, i can say that it will be filled with T tetrominoes and no O tetromino at all, or even number of O tetrominoes, which defies the question's requirement.

#

is it good enough?

#

i'm not sure for odd n >=5 though

upbeat hornet
upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

what do you mean? like can't it make a square with other dimension?

upbeat hornet
craggy token
#

ah

#

how would i tackle that problem..

$x^2 - x \equiv 31 (mod 3025)$\
here's what ive done:

  1. used chinese remainder theorem to split into 2 equations
    $$x^2 - x \equiv 31 (mod 121)$$
    $$x^2 - x \equiv 31 (mod 25)$$
    both of the equations can be transformed into this
    $$(x-6)(x+5) \equiv 1 (mod 121)$$
    $$(x-3)(x+2) \equiv 0 (mod 25)$$
ocean sealBOT
vale wigeon
#

first one looks useless

radiant dirge
#

I can see that 6 + 5 = 11 and 3 + 2 = 5 but idk whats next

vale wigeon
#

\pmod{3025} btw

#

anyway i think you may be best off completing the square here

#

so like

#

x^2 - x = x^2 + 120x = (x+60)^2 - 60^2

#

mod 121

#

,calc (31+60^2) mod 121

ocean sealBOT
#

Result:

1
vale wigeon
#

so (x+60)^2 ≡ 1 (mod 121)

#

and then

#

x^2 - x = x^2 + 24x = (x+12)^2 - 12^2

#

,calc (31 + 12^2) mod 25

ocean sealBOT
#

Result:

0
vale wigeon
#

so you have (x+12)^2 ≡ 0 (mod 25)

radiant dirge
#

wait can you explain what are you doing

radiant dirge
vale wigeon
#

completing the square

radiant dirge
vale wigeon
#

your mod 121 equation rewrites as $(x+60)^2 - 60^2 \equiv 31 \pmod{121}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Ann (glomed)

vale wigeon
#

i add 60^2 to both sides

#

and then reduce the right-hand side mod 121

radiant dirge
#

oh that makes sense now

radiant dirge
vale wigeon
#

whats "it"

radiant dirge
#

31

#

like (1 + 12^2) mod 25

#

nvm

#

so now we have $$(x+60)^2\equiv 1 \pmod{121}$$ $$(x+12)^2\equiv 0 \pmod{25}$$

ocean sealBOT
radiant dirge
#

x + 12 should be dividable by 5 and x + 60 by 11?

#

from this i got x = k28 k=1,2,...

#

and its wrong lol

upbeat hornet
radiant dirge
#

how would you reduce to mod 5 and mod 11

upbeat hornet
#

x^2 - x congruent to 1 mod 5

#

because it was 6 mod 25

#

and 5 | 25

radiant dirge
#

oh

upbeat hornet
#

then after trying all combinations, x must be 3 mod 5

#

same for mod 11

radiant dirge
#

thats what i got

upbeat hornet
#

so have you solved it for mod 25 and 121 yet

radiant dirge
#

im trying to solve for 121

upbeat hornet
#

what did you get for mod 11

radiant dirge
#

i currently have (x+59)(x+61) congruent 0 mod 121

radiant dirge
#

so this means either x+59 or x+61 divides 121 so x = 60 or x = 62?

upbeat hornet
#

I think so

radiant dirge
#

62*4 = 3 mod 5

#

could this be the answer

upbeat hornet
#

want: x^2 - x congruent to 9 mod 11
0(10) = 0, 1(0) = 0, 2(1) = 2, 3(2) = 6, 4(3) = 1, 5(4) = 9, 6(5) = 8, 7(6) = 9, 8(7) = 1, 9(8) = 6, 10(9) = 2,
so x congruent to 5 or 7 mod 11

#

which agrees with x = 60 mod 121 or x = 62 mod 121

upbeat hornet
radiant dirge
#

i completely dont understand what you did there xd

upbeat hornet
#

inelegant but simple and the first thing I thought of

upbeat hornet
radiant dirge
#

why only try integers <= 11?

upbeat hornet
radiant dirge
#

that i get

#

but what if there is integer > 11 that satisfied x^2 - x congruent to 9 mod 11

#

oh nvm

#

you can write x as (11k + r)

#

so now I have
x ≡ 3 mod 5
x ≡ 60 or 62 mod 121

#

it seems x can only be equal to 60 or 62

#

bruh why is this so difficult

#

nvm

#

121*(3+10k) + 60 or 121*(10k+1) + 62 would satisfy both equations right

#

<@&268886789983436800> pls

night geyser
#

Sigh

radiant dirge
#

thank you!

#

ok so i finally conclude that there are 6 solutions <= 3025 which look like this: 121*(3+10k) + 60, 121*(10k+1) + 62 and k=0,1,2

#

thanks everyone who helped

If the braking force is constant does that mean acceleration is constant?

wind cloak
#

Yes

rustic lily
#

Why

#

Why is that @wind cloak

wind cloak
#

Because F = ma

#

Mass is a constant

#

And if Force is constant

#

That means acceleration is constant

rustic lily
#

Beautifully explained

#

Thank you good sir
