or there are more but im nearly blind
first, where is the negative sign?
second, you sub u to be cosx but you write it as sinx
Oh bruh you sub it as -sinx and it is still wrong for the positive and negative sings
signs

i did a, b and c
but cannot do d
ill provide an image on sec
im not sure how i would deduce that O.o
Well what happends when you add those vectors
w + y gets you back to R, so its overall 0
x + z get s you back to R, so its overall 0
So the overall sum is 0, as applying all 4 vectors gets you back to where you started
ah makes sense
i thought i had to use some algebra or something to show it adds to 0 but it was much simpler
thanks!

I've been asket to express this identities as rotation matrices and i don't even know were to start.... sin(α + β) = sin(α) cos(β) + cos(α) sin(β)
cos(α − β) = cos(α) cos(β) + sin(α) sin(β)
first I created two rotation matrices one for alpha and another one for beta. Multiplied them, but now i don't know how to go further
yeah alright
multiplying the two rotation matrices for alpha and beta,
what rotation matrix should that result give you ?
@ornate gate
I multiplied rotation matrix A by rotation matrix B
i thought i'd create a transformation matrix, then just will need to multiply this AB matrix for alpha and beta
but the resuld didn't seem right
there's something you should expect the result to be
like
if i rotate a vector twice
with angles alpha and beta
how much have I rotated my vector in total ?
alpha+beta angle (?)
from this thing we just thought of,
if we multiply the two matrices for rotation for alpha and beta,
can we say something about the matrix which is the result of that multiplication ?
i'm doing the same job twice (?) the solution is just AB no need to mulitply it again (!?)
you seem kinda lost
i'm trying to make you see why we should find sin(a+b) and cos(a+b) in the result of the multiplication
maybe we'll just do it a bit more step by step
and check what you did
so, what's the rotation matrix for angle alpha ?
[cos(a)-sin(a)],[sin(a),cos(a] (sorry, no alpha symbol)
[cos(b)-sin(b)],[sin(b), cos(b)] for beta
ok, sorry
[cos(a)-sin(a)], it seems like there's only one number on this line
you meant [cos(a), -sin(a)]
[-sin(a)sin(b)+cos(a)cos(b), -sin(a)cos(b)-sin(b)cos(a)],[cos(a)sin(a)+sin(a)cos(b), cos(a)cos(b)-sin(b)sin(a)]
yeah alright
now i just want to know if you're in high school or university (or something else idk) ?
first semester of university...
alright
did they just throw the matrix multiplication computation in your face ?
or did they explain why it is like this ?
I learned it in a mechanical way, i don't really understand what's going on actually
yeah alright, I should have asked that first before questioning you intensively
@ornate gate Has your question been resolved?
No
the nice idea behind matrix multiplication, is that it represents applying successive transformations on some vector
i.e. if I apply AB to some vector v
it's the same as applying B then applying A to v (note the order, it's like function composition)
so the thing I was trying to make you think about at the beginning
is that if you multiply the rotation matrix for alpha and the rotation matrix for beta
then the result is the rotation matrix for (alpha+beta)

How do I find the max and min value of 4x+y^2 under the condition that 2x^2+y^2=4?
I already found the max value using a derivative. But I don't know how to find the minimum
Lagrange multipliers?
what's that
I don't think there is a minimum
[
\grad \map f{x,y} = \lambda\grad\map g{x,y}
]
since y^2=4 - 2x^2, you have to find the extrema for 4x+4-2x^2
err not sure if this is how I'm supposed to solve it
There is

ah yes
$2x^2 = 4 - y^2$
$x^2 = 2 - (y^2)/2$
$x = \pm \sqrt{2 - \frac{y^2}{2}}$
Swastik
Consider that the restriction is an ellipse, what is the interval of possible values for x?
Then remember how you find minimum and maximum given an interval
hmm I think geometrically finding that is easier
hmm not sure I remember how
Do you remember the ellipse equation?
not sure
Ok then I think Swastik was doing something that didn't need that 🤔
I don't know how to do it without the ellipse equation
You could review that if there's no other way
I see
see 2-y^2/2 has to be greater than 0 for it to be defined
and y^2 is always postive
so if we maximize 2-y^2/2 we get 2 (when y =0) and min is 0
i.e. x lies between (-sqrt2, sqrt2)
now you can plug these values of x into that quadratic and see which is the lower
that should be the minimum
I give up lol

Help
do you remember trignometry?
welp go and revise your notes then
if ur not helping then whyd u even bother to comment
🙄
you need to at least be familiar with the basics of what you're trying to solve
no point in solving questions without learning the theory first
Its not for me, rather a friend
They just asked me to post this
Since im already here
being used by friend, how nice
anyway you need to use the definition for sin
to solve that
still not helping

im so confused on what i need to do next
I think the first step would be to multiply both sides by x
x tan38= 10
Because you are multiplying both sides by x
Then you would do inverse tan
Are u familiar with this
Thats for law of sines right?
Yh in a Triangle
do not bring the law of sines into this, we don't need it for right triangles
I don't think you need law of ainea for this since its a right triangle
you don't need law of sines. They were on the right track
Yeah law of sinea is not needed sorry for the confusion @queen socket
i inverse it
Mhm
um
And then you would get x=...?
wait im slow
Ok no problems
wait wtf
oh
Go back to x*tan38=10
Since x is being multiplied by tan38, you'd divide
No
Tan38 is a number
Think of tan(38) as a value
And you'd divide both sides by tan38 to isolate the x
Here let me check
,w tan38 = 10/x
fun
Yup you got it es
thought it'd give approximated value
TYSM
No problem! Out of curious are you studying for finals?
nope
Oooh i have that next year
i had the worst math teachers for the past 3 yhears so im rlly behind
Here's a triangle, we know ita a triangle, now PROVE IT

interesting question, but why
its 10% of my final grade according to my teacher
so what do you need help with
use whatever equations you've learnt in class and try and outline it
you can put a picture on desmos
I’ve already tried that
It’s impossible
All the videos ive seen on YouTube are examples of logos
Not pictures like those
It's not impossible
well obviously you cant just copy a video
You're going to create multiple equations with restrictions
do equations you've learnt about like circles or ellipses or quadratics or linear lines
you could even do it bit by bit with just linear lines if you create restrictions.
but you probably wont get full marks
With lines, it's going to take forever, adding quadratics, it'll be easier
how do i get that in desmos tho lol
Its easy to draw it but it aint easy to put that on desmos
like I’ve never done it before thats why it look’s impossible
You don't need this one, I don't think, OP was just asking about the outline of the image so the inner stuff might not be needed
Do you know the general equation of a quadratic?
idk if this would help but i have an example i made a while ago
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/9aprketqrn
Because in desmos, you can add sliders
whats a slider
sliders would be a smart way to do it
A thing that slides
Type in ax^2 + bx + c in desmos
That's the general form of a quadratic
The site then will say something about a slider for a, b, and c
So then you can move that around to pick a number for a, b, and c
So like this
How can i use that same line to finish the rest of the head
You might not be able to, you might have to create multiple lines
you slowly trace it bit by bit by using multiple lines

I stumbled upon this and I have no idea how to start lol
The linear map $F \in L(\mathbb{C}{\leq 3} [t], \mathbb{C}{\leq 3}[t])$ is given by $F\left(\sum^3_{i=0} \alpha_i t^i\right) = \sum^3_{i=0} \beta_i t^i$, where
$$
\beta_0 = 3\alpha_0 - \alpha_1, \quad \beta_1 = \alpha_0 + \alpha_1, \quad \beta_2 = 3\alpha_0 + 5\alpha_2 - 3\alpha_3, \quad \beta_3 = 4\alpha_0 - \alpha_1 +3\alpha_2 - \alpha_3.
$$
Determine the Jordan normal form of $F$.
Levens
do you know how to get the matrix associated with F?
what is the canonical basis for your vector space?
mmmm if it were R_{<=3}[t] i'd say {1,t,t^2,t^3}... for complex polynomials im not so sure
but ig the same?
yes, thats correct, its the same
ok nice
okay.. would we look at the coefficients for alpha or for beta? like e.g. for $\beta_1$ is it $(\alpha_0 + \alpha_1)t$ or is it $\alpha_0 + \alpha_1 t$?
Levens
okay, lets see how far i get thanks
is it
$$
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
3 & -1 & 0 & 0 \
1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \
3 & 0 & 5 & -3\
4 & -1 & 0 & 0

@austere compass Has your question been resolved?
So i got the eigenvalues 0,2,5 and 2 has an alg. mult. of 2 so how do I find out to sort this whole thing? so ik that theyre on the diagonal and EV 2 is a 2x2 block somewhere..
find the evecs of 2
@austere compass Has your question been resolved?
why
I think thats how the method for jordan form works
find the geo mult
then use the evecs to fill in the block
ahhh i see for the geo mult
i only got 1 vector for 2
same for the other two evals
yeah
the other ones have to have geo mult 1
so for ev = 2, do step 3 here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1570526/computing-the-jordan-form-of-a-matrix
step 3? but they already formed their JNF there
hm yeah, ig you dont need the P matrix
ig you are finished then after finding the geo mults
that's weird, i only got one evec for 2 for some reason, but on wolfram and everywhere else the jordan block for 2 is 2x2...
,w jordan [[3,-1,0,0],[1,1,0,0],[3,0,5,-3],[4,-1,0,0]]
looks fine to me
what are you getting?
yes, thats what we should get
2 has alg mult 2, geo mult 1
so it appears twice on diag
and theres a 1 on the off diag
i thought that meant that its geo mult is 2
so when would a 0 appear above the 2s?
hypothetically
and does the order matter? like could i just write
$$
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}
2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 2 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 5 & 0\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right]?
$$
Levens
ah i see, i just looked it up, apparently it doesnt matter (i think)
but abt that 1 above the 2s... why is it there?
theres one block because geo mult = 1
if geo mult was =2, then theres 2 blocks (ie no 1 on the off diag)
ohhh ok, so the geo mult tells us how many blocks there are for each eval
yes
bet thanks
i have another question, should i open a new channel or should i jsut say it here
a new channel would be a good idea so that the new question gets pinned

I'm trying to calculate the expected number of tosses of a fair coin, such that we get 3 consecutive heads
This is the method I have used, and it gives the wrong answer, but I don't see why
My final answer is 10, which is based on calculating the expectations of X and 6, where X is the indicator variable, if a sequences of 3 heads starts at a given index, and Y is the sum of X over the entire sequence
I based it off my teachers explanation of infinite money theorem, so I can provide a similar example of my method being used, maybe someone can point me to why it's not applicable potentially? Or a silly mistake

dont understand where answer is coming from
wouldnt i just use the distance formula d=|Ax+by+cz+d|/sqrx^2+b^2+c^
plug in the given values then isolate for b?
Correct
i guess im doing it wrong as im getting incorrect answers
Show me
ooooo
one minute
oh hold up
cant rlly show you cause im on pc n im solving on paper
but eventually i get to 8=24+12b/sqr(65 + b^2)
multiple the denominator to the other side
actually..this might sound goofy but whats after this step😭
And then yes, you multiply by the denominator both sides
You end up with:
8 . sqrt(65+b²) = |24-12b|
mhm
As you know, |x| is either x or (-x)
x when x>0
-x when x<0
So, we have two cases here
Solve 8 . sqrt(65+b²) = 24 - 12b
And 8 . sqrt(65+b²) = -24 + 12b
oooooooo
so yk how its 8sqr...
can we deal with the sqrt without dealing with the 8
like could i initially just square both sides?
ooo id just have to square the 8 too
okok makes sense, thank you!

how do i find the antiderivative of xcos(x²)?
Hint: use u = x²
∫ cos(u) du = sin(u) + C ?
yeah but what happened to the first x
square root
∫ cos(u) dx
Now make it in terms of du
it would be sin(x²)/2 then but i didn't know this formula coulb be applied to anything else different from x
Yes exactly you got it
look up u substitution
Good job
u = x²
du = 2x dx
du/2x = dx
x * du/2x = 1/2

since it was two spins, probability of getting an odd number on both spins is (7/12) squared
so that is 49/144
and so if one of those even, you subtract 49/144 from 1, and you get 95/144
probability for even
on one spin if it's spun 2 time
i think it's 15/58 but i could be wrong
That's right.

How can I find a curve which all lines of the form $$ x + by + b^{\frac23} = 0 $$ are tangent to?
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2
Are tangent to what
The curve
There are infinitely many curves
Are you just working with polynomials, quadratics perhaps
I plotted some lines and couldn’t think of a curve whose tangents are all of this form
Find the tangent line for a general quadratic and set the tangent line to these coefficients
I’ll try that, thanks
Probably will help to pick a point on the curve. y=0 implies x=?
@upbeat hornet Has your question been resolved?
I tried plotting a few more lines
I don’t think it’s a parabola
After some guessing, I think it’s xy^2 = -c for some c

In a sine/cos graph how do I figure how the second intercept. I.e f(x) = -2cos(3x)-1
in this example i already know that the reference angle will be pi/3
the problem I have is when finding the second point
Which is when I draw it on the unit circle I know that it should be in the 1st and 4th quadrant, so do I need to 2pi-pi/3 or 3pi/4 + pi/3 to find it?
<@&286206848099549185>
well it definitely wouldn't be 3pi/4 + pi/3, that's in the third quadrant
for the unit circle, when you see cosine think horizontal, and when you see sine think vertical
you want the angle that is at the same horizontal point (x-value) as your pi/3
so basically basically I reflect the triangle formed?
yeah
generally it's best to keep the hypoteneuse as 1
but pi/3 is the angle not the slope. It's an angle of pi/3 radians
okay
you have the reference angle and you want cos to be negative you'd want to consider the equivalent angles in the second and third quadrants

unless his question changed, i thought he's working on finding the x intercept of -2cos(3x)-1
you are correct
I also just realised that I wrote the questio incorrectly it should be f(x) = -2cos(3x)+1
ah cool
you're working with the first and fourth quadrant then
yep
so first value would be pi/3
then to find the second value i would need to do 2pi- pi/3 since the reference angle is always from a value of pi right?
yes
for cosine that works, for sine it won't
but yes for cosine it will work
yes for sine it is just inverse right?
it's counterclockwise counting upwards of positive multiples of n
otherwise negative multiples of n
$sin(-x) = -sin(x)$ yes
kitten.in.a.teacup
green is cosine, orange is sine
okay
so let's say the equation is now f(x) = -2sin(3x)+1
the first intercept is pi/6
You didn't finish the prevoius question though? Lol
If you're working on [0, 2pi] there's more than the two you pointed out btw
yes ofc that part should be trivial
what
and then the second point is just the inverse so -pi/6
no yeah that's correct, one period of f(x) is 2pi/3 long
i know the period of f(x) is 2pi/3 lol
i thought he meant the period of a generic periodic function
depends on the interval of concern
[0, 2pi/3] wouldn't include -pi/6, would it?
I would just adjust for domain
sure
also one more thing
if the reference angle is negative
i.e. cos (x) = -√3/2
which becomes -pi/6
is the reference angle just pi/6 or -pi/6
so to find the second point do I do pi +( - pi/6) or pi - (-pi/6)?

is that -sqrt(3)/2?
ye
it's not? cos(pi/6) = sqrt(3)/2
you want -(sqrt(3))/2
if you're talking about the reference angle as to what you should work with to get 5pi/6 then okay fair pi/6 is right

Hrllo
The first one please
write out what it means, as it relates to the polynomial's factors, for $\csc{\alpha}$ and $\cot{\alpha}$ to be roots
Blue Guilmon
Can you elaborate I'm new to this topic
if $y$ is a root of a polynomial, the factor theorem tells us that $(x-y)$ must be a factor of the polynomial
Blue Guilmon
Ok
so if $\csc{\alpha}$ is a root, then the polynomial has a factor which is $(x-\csc{\alpha})$
Blue Guilmon
So you mean to find the equation by using roots and then plugin and try the values for all?
what's the degree of the polynomial in question
2
so how many roots can it have maximum
2
you were given both roots, and so you know what the polynomial factors into completely
cosec^2 x - cot^2 x =1
Hmm
this channel is occupied
(Cosecx-cotx)(cosecx+cotx)=1
(-b/a)(rootd/a)=1
Now square and simplify
$(x-\csc{\alpha})(x-\cot{\alpha})=ax^2+bx+c$ you know this because this is how the polynomial in question factored for the coefficients $a$ $b$ and $c$. Expand out the left and you'll get 3 equatiosn for $a$ $b$ and $c$, for example, for $a$ you should get $1=a$ by setting the coeffcients equal to each other. For $c$ you should get $\csc{\alpha}\cot{\alpha}=c$ what about to $b$? Plug these values for $a$ $b$ and $c$ to evaluate the expressions in each of the multiple choices to see which is true using what you know from trig.
b^2(b^2-4ac)=a^4
b^4-4acb^2=a^4
a^4-b^4+4acb^2=0
Blue Guilmon
@viscid lily
Ok
Basic trig identity
I am trying with x²-sor+por=0
sin^2x+ cos^2x=1
Divide by sin^2x
1+cot^2 x= cosec^2x
Ok
better question is how did you get the second equation here from the first step
Basic quadratic identity
root d/a?
Sor = -b/a
|Difference of roots|= sqrt(b^2-4ac)/a
discriminant?
Yeah
Jee?
Yes
ah ok yeah both methods work then
Got it thanks btw
Solve with this, you will get only 3-4 mins to solve this in exam
Hmm
this method would only work for quadratics
because of the quadratic formula
unless we were given an explicit formula for factoring higher degree polynomials in question
Yes
But I want to explore mathematics
then in general the way I told you is how you would approach the problem, but they both work
if you have a formula relating the roots to the coeffcients it cuts the work down a lot
There is a generalized sequence for sum of roots for any degree
What memorising?
well either way a problem like this
Competitive approach to solve problems needs to have less effort I think
But at last the path to the question matters
unless you have a trick or formula relating coefficients to roots like the quadratic in this case
What you learn from it
ax^3+bx^2+cx+d
Sum of roots = -b/a
Sum of roots taken two at a time = c/a
Product of roots = -d/a
Just alternate minus sign
degree 4?
actually tbh
if it is generalized for any number of roots what's degree n
ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e
Sum of roots = -b/a
Sum of roots taken two at time = c/a
Sum of roots raken three at time = -d/a
Product of roots = e/a
so
$\frac{-a_{n-1}}{a_n}$ is always the sum of the roots
everything in between is the sum of roots taken 2 to $n-1$ at a time
and then product of the roots is always $(-1)^n\frac{a_0}{a_n}$
Blue Guilmon
alternating signs in between
Yeah
I don't know where this is derived from
let x1,x2,x3,x4 be 4 roots
Then sum of roots taken two at time = x1x2+x1x3+x1x4+x2x3+x2x4+x3x4
ah all possible combinations of 2
Yeah
I'm not sure how useful that would be beyond something like degree 4
because that gets pretty huge
Only sum and products are necessary
I suppose but in this case our roots were arbitrary trig functions
you're talking about sums and products of potentially 4 different trig functions
or more
idk I guess it's a neat tool to use but I don't see either method as being particularly better
because at the end of the day expanding the poly is also just doing multiplication/addition and you just get sums and products equal to the coeffcients
tbh maybe that's how you prove this sequence
I might look into that later
anywho hope we answered your question!
For jee, the method with less calculation is best
There is a limited amount of time
no clue what jee is but I'm also not an engineer I'm assuming from the title of this that's what it is for
Jee is a competitive exam with 1 million candidates each year and only 5000 selection seats

The five-number summary for all students' scores on an exam is 32, 42, 67, 67, 99. Suppose 120 students took the test, the mode value is mostly ...
A. 67
B. Cannot be determined.
C. 99
D. 32
I'm a bit confused by this.
The answer is 67, but I'm not sure how
I tried to find it with Q3-Q2 < Q2-Q1. Which means it's negatively skewed so Mode > Median > Mean
Um
And 120 divided by 5 is 20
Wait no
That's kind of irrelevant
But anyways 67 appears the most
Where is Q2 and Q3?
120/5 is not 20
32 = minimum value, 42 = Q1, 67 = Q2 , 67 = Q3, 99 = Maximum
My bad
all the values between Q2 and Q3 are 67 aren't they
I'm not sure
why aren't you sure?
about a quarter of your data points fall between Q2 and Q3.
what could those data points be equal to if not 67?
Ah I get it, you could also say 25% of the data is 67 right?
give or take, yes

when i look at something like this (summary in R for simple linear regression)
what's the X for
im guessing (intercept, estimate) is the point estimate of alpha
im also guessing that std. error is the standard error of the alpha estimate
t value is comparing it to alpha = 0
and probability is just the probability of that being true
but idk what X's row is

lm is linear regression right ?
it's prolly just for the coefficient in front of X

hi
1/2sin(x-pi/2)+3
how do i find x intercepts
desmos
unless you can't use that
cant
It's just the points that intercept the x axis
Damn
we are not allowed
I could probably answer this if I like really focused on figuring it out but idk off the top of my head
set it equal to 0 and solve
yes i tried
what got you stuck
but im not getting
well first trasnpose 3
then 1/2
sin(x-pi/2)=-6
cant go further
sin(x-pi/2)=-sin(pi/2-x)=-cosx
just calculate it
cosx=6
So x does not belongs to real numbers
are you sure
yes
did you type the correct function?
there wont be x intercept
Bro
there will be imaginary line
as this doesn't have any x-intercepts
ok take the line as 3.5

An elevator operates in a building with 10 floors. One day, n people get into the
elevator on the ground floor (Floor 0), and each of them chooses to go to a floor
selected uniformly at random from 1 to 10. What is the expected number of floors in
which exactly one person gets out? Justify your answer.
No idea how to approach this question, I tried infinite monkey theorem, or a variation of it
Should I be thinking in terms of conditional expectation?
@glossy echo please open your own channel. #❓how-to-get-help has the instructions.
also phrase your question more clearly there.
ok
find the probability of floor 1 getting exactly one person walking out on it
multiply this probability by 10 and you have your expectation
surely you can't just multiply it by 10, because its dependent on the number of people, which decreases as the lift goes up. Moreover, the chances of each person leaving increases as the lift goes up, as everyone has to exit the elevator by floor 10, so it seems to be all very dependent on each other and circular?
nah you can
let X_i be the random variable that's 1 if floor i has exactly one person walking out and 0 otherwise
i believe it is clearish that all the X_i are identically distributed, even if not independent
X := sum[1,10] X_i is the number of floors with exactly one person walking out
E[X] = E[sum[1,10] X_i] = 10 E[X_1] is what i am saying
how would you calculate the probability of exactly one person leaving?
the probability they choose floor 1, times the probability everybody else chooses a floor other than 1, times how many people there are
basically like using a binomial distribution
the number of people leaving on floor 1 follows a binomial distribution with number of trials n and success probability 1/10
so at floor 1 we would have 1/10 * n * (9/10), but number n varies by floor?
