Divide by 2x like this
u = x² + 5
du = 2x dx
Or dx = du/2x
Why is du = 2x dx?
They have one too many 2x in the denominator. Maybe a typo
Oh you've never seen u-sub before
Give a quick check to u-substitution
Oh it’s from the derivative of u
It's an integral method, the reverse of the chain rule
Nothing to do with 4x

Could someone look over my gorilla problem and part 1 of the car problem (when it's asking for approximation, is it better to use a concrete number of subintervals instead an arbitrary number n even I don't take the limit as n approaches infinity) which gives the exact area?

prove divergence or convergence by comparison. would this be good enough of an answer in calc 2?
looks pretty good...if you have learnt series you can also think of the integral as a sum of small areas and since every small area of x/x^3+1 will be smaller than each small area of 1/x^2 it has to converge (this isnt rigorous)
You should state why 1/x^2 is convergent
haven't gotten to series yet
power series, 1/x^p, p <= 1 is divergent, p > 1 is convergent
alright the next one though is way harder and idk where to start the comparison
undefined both at 1 and 0
how would i split this
0 dont matter, but 1 does
would it be split like (1, 2] and [2, inf)?
and beyond that, would power series comparison work here?
?
i m not familiar with these kinds of justification for convergence but since at 1 the value is infinity, and the integral is positive everywhere it has to diverge
@hot bluff Has your question been resolved?
√[x⁴ - x] < √x⁴ = x²
So
1/√[x⁴ - x] > 1/x²
okay so the comparison of 1/x^2 works
how did you realize 1/x^2 was the comparison needed?
not quite clear from what you posted
also, does the numerator not matter in this instance?
Numerator matters, but that just means
∫ x+1 / √[x⁴ - x] dx > ∫ x+1 / x² dx
The right is divergent, so I was done
Honestly, I saw it because omitting a term is an easy way to obtain an inequality
Just remove the -x from under the √, bingo you have an inequality, does it work? A lot of questions flow this way
yeah it worked. i moved onto the next one and im wondering if this works?
dont mind the product-sum identity i messed that up, but 1 > sin^2 x, does that seem right? because sin^2 x can = 1
sin^2 pi/2 = 1 though which violates the inequality
I mean ≥ yeah
you're right it could be >=
(-20x^3u^6-16x^6u^6+25x^5u^6) ÷ (-4x^4u^5) simplify your answer as much as possible.
Any help on this problem would be awesome
wait if we are proving divergence. shouldn't the equality be reversed?
since we are trying to prove the integrand grows faster than the known divergent function x^(-1/2)?
That one converges! So they both do.
omggg whaaat, but i thought 1/x^p diverges for p <= 1
damn this is confusing me now. since the comparison theorem is for integrals with an infinite bound?
ohhh its for discontinuous bounds. so 0 in this case is the discontinuity, right?
0 is an asymptote
The infinity bound rule is great, I don't have a similar one for finite bounds. I just did the integral in my head real quick
Luckily ∫ 1/√x dx isn't too bad
yeah i see it here, im just trying to conceptualize how we are comparing this. its obvious from the graph but im trying to make sense of it through the comparison theorem
its still hurting my brain though because this is actually convergent, although 1/sqrtx is supposed to be divergent?
∫ 1/√x dx, between 0 and π, is convergent. It's 2√π
so working out the integral of the comparison function is helping me understand
since now i've found it converges, i can then use the inequality i was using before
to prove this function also converges
right?
ye
cool. thank you so much.
Another way to see it, do a u-sub:
u = 1/x
Turns into a limit to infinity of ∫ u^(-3/2) du

Find dy/dx if y=e^(2x).
derivative of e^ x is e ^x
(Chain rule is gonna be your best friend)
use chain ruel
you can use log diff too, but its simple enough where you can chain rule.
means something entirely different
try log differentiation, it might help you.
both can be solved using chain rule
ln y = 2x -> y'/y = 2 -> y' = 2y -> y' = ???
To do the chain rule you
- Differentiate the outer function
- Put the inner function back in, unchanged
- Multiply that by the derivative of the inner function
Note the unchanged part
The 2x goes back in
I know that it’s a different expression. But e^(2x)= (e^x)^2 = 2 * (e^x)
Why can’t I do that?
u taking the derivative?
that's wrong
d/dx (e^u) = e^u * u'
use this formula gang
Okay, in that case, the outer function is x², the inner is e^x.
You have to multiply by the derivative of e^x to finish it off
you're substituting without replacing what you substituted. replace e^x with u and see what we mean
(e^x)² differentiates to:
2(e^x)(e^x)
Take a second to identify the outer function and inner function, if you haven't yet
Of (e^x)²
Inner is e^x. The outer is squaring?
good, apply chain rule.
Namely, outer is x²
Apply by the formula, or by #help-0 message my explanation above
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
I don’t understand. I’m sorry for the late reply. I had to go
Why x^2
Actually I need to go
Thank you for the help tho
I’ll use chain rule to solve it
Thank you guys

No clue on how to solve for the shaded region or the angle, what should I start with?
Help
You can calculate the areas of the sector and the triangle, right?
Only the triangle
You haven't been shown how to evaluate some sector's area?
If I have the sector I can find the segment
Notice that the sector can be divided into the triangle and the shaded area
So sector's area = triangle's area + shaded area
isnt it ((angle/360)*circumference - (area of triangle))
sectors area is angle/360 * circumference i think
Basically, we want to calculate the difference between areas of the sector and the triangle
That's arclength
oh u right
Area of a sector is theta/360 * pir^2
ohhh *area of circle instead of circumference
Yup
So, we need to figure out the angle theta
For that you can draw a line from O perpendicular to BC and notice that sin(theta/2) = 5/9
Which is the same as $\sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos\theta}2} = \frac59$
alonelybean
So, just calculate theta, use theta to calculate sector's area and then subtract triangle's area from what you get
triangle area
.5(10)(height)
height = √(9^2 - 5^2)
How do I find the sector using only the triangle's lengths?
First you calculate the value of theta, because it's needed for the sector's area to be known
Just read what I said from here

@crimson zodiac Has your question been resolved?
is '1' the centre of the circle?
like an angle at the centre of the circle
A central angle (most likely since the q assumes that anyway)
there are a couple different ways to get arc measure DF
if 1 is a central angle then it must have the same angular measure as the arc

How do I find the sum?
You can take 9 out
And then use the fact that this is a geometric series
^
so 9(pi)^-n?
you know the formula for infinite geometric series right
This one?
Do you know this formula or anything similar?
yea
So this is just a geometric series. 9*(1/pi)^1 + 9*(1/pi)^2 + 9*(1/pi)^3 ...
so you can apply the formula
methisalwaysright
what's the first term and common ratio here?
9 and 1/pi
Almost, note that here we start from n=1. So the first term is actually 9*(1/pi). Easiest way to find it is writing out first few terms of the series as I did above and looking at the first term
why not just take 9 common out and solve it easily?
like first guy said^
9(1/pi)^n?
@alpine sable
mb, shouldn't have deleted the source
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{9}{\pi^n} = 9 \left( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\pi^n} \right)$
numbily
If it makes it easier for you to find the sum, you can do what they said
what about this
oh ok, got it thanks

What is the benifit of writing a line like this
it’s subjective
Like y=mx+c gives the slope and y intercept
Is there anything I can read instantly from it or something
looks pretty 
There is a clear benefit to point slope, or slope intercept, but not to this
this just sets the right hand side equal to 0
so, that is really the only benefit
Does the r mean anything
distance from the origin, in a way
One benefit I can think of is ability to express lines such as x=4
x=4 isn't of this form provided though
nvm
yeah it is, p and q can't both be 0
but one of them can
odie the answer here, and whenever you see forms, is that they are useful to display certain information, or they will become useful later in math
but i've always seen this as px + qy = r
I think we can summarize it as the benefit of this form of line equation is that we have all the variables on one side, and the other side is 0, and that kinda looks neat. Does that explanation suffice @warped topaz ?
Which info does it display?
or they will become useful later in math
Ah ok
Maybe im not there yet haha
just starting geometry
Ye haha
this kind of form comes up a bit in differential equations, but those are nonlinear
this one isn’t particularly useful yet
so not really
when you get to vectors it’ll become reasonable
but till then just memorize it as another form
there’s not any more to it than that
there's nothing really even to memorize
so long as you know how to add and subtract this is always 1 operation away from slope intercept form
ye haha its easy enough
Anyway thats all I wanted to ask
Thank you everyone!
❤️

So in this form the coefficient of x HAS to be a positive integer, right?
y doesnt matter right?
nope
o
i would find it weird for it to be negative but it's allowed
p and q can be any real numbers
for uniqueness
I just assumed it had to be
otherwise there’d be multiple answers
the fact that it tells you specifically to do it for those questions means that it's not a general rule 
But is it the standard form?
this isn't a standard form for anything
it is just yet another way to rearrange an equation
equation being the key word, any way you spin it, any form you put it, it just describes an equivalence between at most two variables, in a linear relationship.
$$y=x+5$$ is an equation between two variables. y is always equal to x+5. $$0=x-y+5$$ is an equation between the same two variables, describing the same relation. this time, it says it differently. x-y is equal to -5, since x-y plus 5 is 0.
austinu
Ya true haha
it’s all the same things reworded is the point
the most standard form you’ll encounter is y=mx+b
be comfortable with that and moving that around. the rest should follow

i dont get the answer as if you had n=5 and k=3, you would still get 10 partitions
answer
what are the marks for?
into k subsets of equal size
i misunderstood hold on
you need at least 2 elements per subset
and k is the number of subsets
yeah
f(5,3) is the number of ways to partition 5 elements into 3 subsets
each with at least two elements

how do I factor by grouping for mx - my - nx + ny
!status
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
group together the items with similar terms
2
so, you have four variables here
m, n, x, and y
but at most your pieces here only have 2 things
so you can't factor the same thing out of all of them
instead, you could group them together
maybe grouping x's and grouping y's
so rearranging the equation into
mx-nx +ny-my
and then factoring those two groups individually
see how the first group shares x's?
and the second group shares y's?
so you can factor those from the groups
I have and I ended up with x(m-n) + y(n-m)
(n-m) = (-1)(m-n)
aren't the terms inside both brackets meant to be the same?
does this help?
you can make them the same thing using DerpZ's hint 😜
so -x(m-n)?
do you mean -y(m-n)
can we not apply it to the first group?
oh wait no mb
I understand it now

For the matrix $A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \ 3 \ 1 \ 3 \ 4 \ 1 \ 5 \ 2 \ 1 \end{pmatrix}$, we have the eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \approx 7.2, \lambda_2 \approx -0.85$ and $\lambda_3 \approx 0.65$. \ Then the corresponding eigenspaces would be \begin{align*} E(\lambda_1) &= {x \in V \ | \ x \neq 0, A(x) = 7.2x} \cup {0} \
E(\lambda_2) &= {x \in V \ | \ x \neq 0, A(x) = -0.85x} \cup {0} \
E(\lambda_2) &= {x \in V \ | \ x \neq 0, A(x) = 0.65x} \cup {0}, \end{align*} right?
...is there a reason you're explicitly excluding the zero vector and then adding it back?
also the eigenspace should presumably be using the exact value of the eigenvalue instead of an approximation
but other than that yeah that looks correct i think
I was just about to ask that, for some reason, Wikipedia first arrives at not excluding the zero vector and then proceeds to do so (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenraum). Is there a reason for that?
It's the German version, but it's right under "Definition"
i guess it might be because ${x\in V | x \neq 0, A(x) = \lambda x}$ is the set of eigenvectors?
bee [it/its]
since 0 isn't an eigenvector even though A(0) = lambda*0
so the eigenspace is indeed "all the eigenvectors and the zero vector"
You would just write \begin{align*} E(\lambda_1) &= {x \in V \ | \ A(x) = 7.2x} \end{align*} though, right?
yeah that's equivalent and simpler
i don't really know why you'd want to write it as "the set of nonzero vectors such that A(x) = lambda*x and also zero"
Thanks. And if the initial matrix was called A, you would also call your function A(x), right?
yes
Alright
V is a vector space in this case, does it have anything to do with our matrix A?
well A should be a linear map from the space to itself (or an "endomorphism", which is apparently basically the same word in german as it is in english, unless "ein Endomorphismus" means something else)
so if V is n-dimensional then A is an nxn matrix
which means if A is a matrix, the elements of A depend on the underlying vector space (although in most cases it's R^n or C^n)
(if it wasn't then either A(x) wouldn't make sense because A doesn't take a vector from V as input, or A(x) = 7.2x wouldn't make sense because A(x) is a vector in some other vector space and can't be compared with x)

When we want to determine the rank of a matrix, why do we want to get it to a row echelon form?
it makes it much easier to determine the rank (look at the pivots)
What is it that we want to look at when determining the rank? The rank of a matrix is the rank of a column and the rank of a row
But how do we determine the rank of a row?
it doesnt make sense to talk about the rank of a row
not really
the row-rank is the maximal number of linearly independent rows. this you can read off from the number of pivots
What do you mean with it doesn't make sense to talk of the row-rank?
row-rank does not mean "rank of a row"
It should be "The rank of a matrix is the row-rank and the column-rank"
yes because those are equal
How do we determine these? Given a matrix $A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \ 4 & 5 & 6 \ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix}$, how would we determine the row-rank, for example?
row echelon form
Oh, you are allowed to do certain operations and want to end up with the row echelon form
yes. elementary row operations dont change the rank
Wouldn't the column-rank be the rank of for example \begin{pmatrix} 1 \ 4 \ 7\end{pmatrix}
no
column rank doesnt mean "rank of a column" either
column rank means maximal number of linearly independent columns
oh
Couldn't you see that without doing any elementary row operations?
It might take longer, of course
oh, alright
the point of row reduction is not "this is the only way to do it"
its "this is a general way that always works and most of the time will be the best way"
this holds for most algorithms you learn
So given a nicer matrix from my book [A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & -1 & 0 \ 2 & 6 & -3 & -3 \ 3 & 10 & -5 & -6\end{pmatrix}], we are allowed to change the rows, multiply them with $a \in \mathbb R, a \neq 0$ and add a multiple of some other row to any row
How would you proceed?
Change the first and last row, right?
subtract some multiple of the first row from the second and third so that the first column is (1,0,0)
to get the 0 down
Oh, then we can subtract -2 times the second column from the third and then entire third column will be 0, 0, 0, 0.
We will get $\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & - 1 & 0 \ 0 & 2 & -1 & -3 \ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}$. This is the row echelon form
So the rang is 2, right?
the last column isn't independant from any of the others
2 pivots, so yes rank is 2
What do you mean with pivots?
the first nonzero elements in the rows

that's also called pivot in german
Yep, in this case, everything went very nicely, I guess there are cases where we would need a lot more operations, then
well if the matrix is big, sure

Is this correct
Not quite. You can not write 3(2)^(n-1) as 6^(n-1)
There's only one 3
$(23)^n ≠ 3(2)^n$
radiation1
Instead you can divide by 3 on both sides
this equation is incorrect or am i wrong
Yeah
It's an inequation
Not an equation
I don't think you divide by 3 on both sides tho I think you just leave it like that
oh lol i didn't see the line
the sequences are short enough that you could list them out to check them with a calculator

✅
Where did you divide by 3?
You can divide by 6 by taking one 2 out of the bracket but it would be a hassle
Because its simple?
So do I do 768/3 and 3/3
Yes
Oh ok thanks
Giving you 256=2^(n-1)

So umm
Linear equations
Yea
I need to do the 7 8 9 and 10
Anyone who can help me?
I need to get this done by tmr
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
Ok
2 digit numbers?
hmm
any number can be represented as a sum of its digits and the corresponding multiple of 10
for 2 digit numbers
say we had a 2 digit number ab
then the number is actually 10 * a + b
yes?
Yea
alright
now
continue
The digit at the tens place is four times the digit at the units place.
What does this mean, algebraically?
Ooooh
9 is a tens and 3 is a ones
Place
Idk
If that's right
Online education really fcked me up
Ic
The digit at the tens place is four times the digit at the units place.
Can you express this algebraically, using the a and b I've given you?
eriktheepik
We said our 2 digit number consisted of 10's place digit $a$ and one's place digit $b$
eriktheepik
So that number is $10a + b$ right?
eriktheepik
What's the digit in the tens place here
And how do you make
The digit at the tens place is four times the digit at the units place.
true?
Yea
Wait give me a min
To understand it
Ok yea
I can't understand it
Trying my best
What's the tens place digit
^
eriktheepik
what's the tens place digit and ones place digit
No
To find their digits
Ok
a is the tens place digit yes
Yeah
Bro
My mom telling me to go to shop
I will br back I'm 5 mins
Back
@mystic mulch
Alright
Yeah so
Now
The tens place digit is 4 times the one places digit
Write that down algebraically
Just by

I'm unable to find a counter example to the last bit
Do you have any intuition about why it wouldn't hold
not really honestly
this doesn't show anything useful, you need to find an r in R such that (f+g)(x + r) = (f+g)(x) for all x
How would you prove it over Z ? over Q ? Does it still hold over R ? Why does it break ?
ig the first two conditions hold over Z , Q & R , though not sure about U being closed under vector additon in any of three cases
It holds for functions over Q. Why ? Why doesn't it over R ? Hence, find a proof
That should help you get some intuition
Doing it over Z and Q isn't a bad exercise anyways
Yeah, f+g(x) = f(x+p) + g(x+q) = f+g(x+c) is what I need to show for some c in R , I didn't write f+g(x+c) bit because I was confused if it's true for all f,g (from R to R) it's not a complete proof I'm stuck there
The question is
Is there a c such that (f+g)(x) = f(x+c) + g(x+c) ?
hmm I'll do that
yeah
or if we can find a counter example to that
for some f,g with period p and q , f+g isn't periodic
@karmic grove Has your question been resolved?
It's coming down to only this question '' Is f+g periodic given f and g are periodic '' when I try to prove it over Z , Q and R or even C actually (in fact condition 1 i.e 0(x) = 0 belongs to U is true over any arbitrary field) also is U closed under scalar multiplication (over any arbitrary field) ?
wait Z is a ring ? how do we do it over Z (given that a V.S is defined over a field)
hmm do we need multiplicative inverse of non-zero scalars to exist in this case
I just meant it as functions over Z rather than functions over R
We only care about stability by sum anyways
We saw the rest is trivial
Also the set of all functions from Z to R is still a v.s.
Exercise: prove that, for any set S and vector space E, the set of all functions from S to E is a vector space (over the same field as E)
In this case for periodicity we only need that the input space be an additive group
hmm
Arguably even an additive monoid
over R ?
Yes
Eliminated the ambiguity in the generalized version
Do you see why it holds over Z and Q ?
hmm here the group operation is addition of functions , so we don't need the additive inverse of these functions to exist ?
ohh okay
still not sure if closed under vector addition holds over Z , Q
hmm okay
Then Q is just about adapting the proof a bit
alright
Then you should understand why it doesn't work for R and guess a counter-example. Then you still need to actually prove it, which is imo much more difficult
hmm okay
just to be clear when say over Z we mean the set of all periodic functions from Z to R is a subspace of R^R over Z , right ?
Still an R - v.s.
Addition of functions is no different
(a f + b g)(x) = a f(x) + b g(x)
ahh okay over R
Notice the input space doesn't matter
yeah
It's what allows for this exercise to exist
yeah it just needs to be a additive monoid as you pointed out earlier
yes that makes sense
No intuition still ?
Then how about sin(2x) + sin(3x).
Is that periodic ?
yeah
Why
becuase the period is 0
2npi
2pi
2pi
prove it
you can't just give me the same answer and except me to stand there and approve
sin(ax) is periodic for all a in R with the smallest period 2pi ?
it's the circumference of unit circle ?
Hi everyone! i'm new here. In this(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqf0uO0oV6s&list=PLB7540DEDD482705B&index=15) lecture the professor was doing a proof by strong induction. The proof starts at 42:00. But around 45:25 it said that the sum of ceiling[(n+1)/2] + floor[(n+1)/2 is equal to n + 1. can someone please help me understand this?

so all values wrap around it
prove it then, since you're so confident
hmm the a is frequency of movement of the radian (x) , +2pi means finishing a cycle once
no matter what the frequency of movement of radians (x) is
I expected a computation
"the frequency of the movement of the radian" doesn't mean anything
do it I dare you
okay so sin(ax+2π) = sin(ax) for all a in R is what we need to prove
sin(ax+2π) = sin(ax)cos(2π) + cos(ax)sin(2π) = sin(ax)
look at the definition of period again
do you still not see anything wrong with what you wrote ?
It looks right ig , sin(ax) is the function and c (period) is 2pi
x -> sin(ax) is the function
sin(ax) is an expression
so f(x+T) = sin(a(x+T)) = sin(ax + aT)
Ohh yeah sorry
making a computational mistake every now and then is fine
when it comes out like that, not so much
that was over 30 minutes ago
so 2pi is not (at least a priori) the smallest period
What is ?
Just a sec
I'm trying the new computation now (f(x+T))
Yeah so 2pi/a
is the smallest
2npi/a in general
Yeah so sin(2.1x) has the smallest period 2pi/2.1 and sin(3x) has a period 2pi/3,
so what would a period of their sum be ?
Is it not periodic ?
it is
you want to find T such that T is both of the form 2npi / 2.1 and 2mpi / 3
hmm makes sense
the point of using Z was to try and make 2pi/2.1 and 2pi/3 a bit more "integer like"
Ahh let wolfram do the calculations it will take a lot of time by hand ig
,w period of sin(2.1x)+sin(3x)
hmm it doesn't work in help channels
that's saying T/2pi is of the form n/2.1 and m/3
So you want a sort of lcm(1/2.1, 1/3)
hmm
So in case of Q, 2npi/a and 2mpi/a will be rational
And in case of reals it can be irrational
when a is irrational
So sin(√2x) has a period 2π/√2
letting a = 2.1, b = 3
l = lcm(1/a, 1/b) is such that l / 1/a and l / 1/b are integers
1/2.1 = 10/21, so you'd want 21 l / 10 to be an integer, and 3l to be an integer
That requires l to be a multiple of 10. We can take l = 10
then l = 21 * 1/2.1 and l = 30 * 1/3
Hence we'd get T/2pi = 10
So T = 20 pi
so basically the lcm over Q always exists
then find two numbers for which you'd expect their sum to not be periodic
A rational and a irrational number ?
lcm(1/√2,1/4)
does not exist
the problem is that its nonexistence doesn't prove it's not periodic
let's take the example of sin(x) + sin(pi x), for simplicity
lcm(1,1/π) doesn't exist I suppose
So we can't find real T such that T/2pi = 2npi/pi = 2mpi
the problem is, if the two functions share the same period then it makes their sum periodic
but they don't have to
at least not a priori
they could just happen to magically cancel each other out very well and manage to be periodic for a random and very particular period
of course they don't
but you need to prove that

so suppose there's a period T
then for all x you have
sin(x) + sin(pi x) = sin(x+T) + sin(pi x + pi T)
yeah
However, I don't know of an intuitive proof for this, so I'll just say
Differentiate twice and you get
sin(x) + pi² sin(pi x) = sin(x+T) + pi² sin(pi x + pi T) (why ?)
Now f(0) = f(T) yields sin(T) + sin(pi T) = 0
f''(0) = f''(T) yields sin(T) + pi² sin(pi T) = 0
Arrive at a contradiction
here f(x) = sin(x) + sin(pi x) ?
yes
yeah got a contradiction
2 = -1-pi^2
ohh wait we can't cancel sin(T) since sin(T) can be equal to 0 for T = 2npi
hmm so that means T ≠ 2npi
you yourself said it didn't have to be
prove it can't be a 2npi
I'll be back in 30 minutes. Hopefully you'll have figured it out by then
@karmic grove Has your question been resolved?
Ahh okay f(0) = f(T) = f(-T) = sin(0) + sin(pi 0) = 0 = 2sin(T) = -sin(T) - sin(pi T) => T = 2npi and pi T = 2m pi => T / 2pi = n = m pi for some m and n , lcm (pi,1) doesn't exist
something like that
subtracting gives (1-pi²) sin(pi T) = 0 so T = 2n
Then that gives sin(T) = 0 but that's impossible because T is a positive integer and sin(n) != 0 for integer n, because no integer is a multiple of pi (since pi is irrational)
okay
where did you get that question from ?
yeah that makes
LADR chapter 1 que 9 (section C)
hmm the previous questions were way easier tbh
honestly, the sin(x) + sin(pi x) is nice but it may not be the simplest
hmm

Can someone helping me with what’s the idea behind this cause am really lost
use change of base formulas
do you know the change of base theorem/formula ?
yes
Ok how can I use it here
now can you see how you change one of the log term into another
Not really sorry
log₅x = logₘx / logₘ5 choose m such that it turns into the other ie logₓ5
or you can turn logₓ5 into log₅x
Wouldn’t it be reverse ? Logm5 up top?
How tho
using change of base formula
no see the formula and compare
Ohhhh ur changing the first 1
yeah either works
there's no restriction on using it (as long the expression is defined)
The one I sent?
yes, that is change of base formula
Ok what now?
Am lost sorry
yes multiply both sides by log₅x now
one will get cancelled
you will get a quadratic in log₅x
solve for log₅x
Omg 😭😭
I got it thank u so much
But idk how am gonna recognize this type of question
just practice and try to get the equation in term of one or less variables
less variables => easy to solve
Wdym?
here essentianly you have reduced the variables in the equation
like originally it was log₅x + 6logₓ5 = 5
here there are two unknowns namely log₅x and logₓ5
and then we reduced it to a equation in one variable by turning one of the unknowns into another (using change of base theorem)
Ohhh so try to minimize unknowns
yes
I gotch u thank you so much

- Is this correct ?
- This cayley diagram looks pretty messy. How do I make it look something like this (obv it's cayley diagram of a different group)
If there's no restriction on asking I have a doubt in the very next question as well 😶
It's about cayley diagram of a infinite group
Well it's whether we can draw cayley diagram of a infinite group (of actions) (with one generator)
So all the other actions of the group are sequences of the generator set
Here
Aren't the groups (of actions) described in 1.13 and 1.14(a) same ?
Except maybe that the latter has a group generator {2} or {-2} and former has {1} or {-1} as smallest set of group generator
The number of actions (sequence of actions) is still infinite in both cases
So ig locally there cayley diagrams look similar (or even exact same maybe)
Just put less detail into your diagram. You don't need to actually write down where the pictures are
The group structure ignores details like that
I'm not sure what your question about the infinite group is
You can't draw the entire diagram, obviously. But you can imply it. It follows a nice easy pattern
I wouldn't think in terms of each action. There's exactly one generator, so you can reach every action using it.
Okay thanks I'll try to do that.
hmm I might have worded it incorrectly

Is this correct
First prize in a lottery is $500000. Each succeeding winning number pays 60% as much as the winning number before it. How much is paid out in prizes if 7 numbers are drawn?
To find out how much is paid out in prizes if 7 numbers are drawn in the described lottery, we can use a geometric sequence to calculate the payout for each winning number.
The first number drawn pays the full amount, which is $500,000. Each succeeding winning number pays 60% as much as the previous winning number.
We can set up a geometric sequence where the first term (a) is $500,000, and the common ratio (r) is 0.6. The payout for each number can be calculated using the formula:
Payout = a * r^(n-1)
where n is the position of the winning number in the sequence.
Let's calculate the payout for each of the 7 numbers:
Payout for the first number (n=1):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(1-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^0 = $500,000 * 1 = $500,000
Payout for the second number (n=2):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(2-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^1 = $500,000 * 0.6 = $300,000
Payout for the third number (n=3):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(3-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^2 = $500,000 * 0.36 = $180,000
Payout for the fourth number (n=4):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(4-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^3 = $500,000 * 0.216 = $108,000
Payout for the fifth number (n=5):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(5-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^4 = $500,000 * 0.1296 = $64,800
Payout for the sixth number (n=6):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(6-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^5 = $500,000 * 0.07776 = $38,880
Payout for the seventh number (n=7):
Payout = $500,000 * 0.6^(7-1) = $500,000 * 0.6^6 = $500,000 * 0.046656 = $23,328
To calculate the total payout, we add up the payouts for all 7 numbers:
Total Payout = $500,000 + $300,000 + $180,000 + $108,000 + $64,800 + $38,880 + $23,328 = $1,215,008
Therefore, the total payout in prizes for 7 numbers drawn in this lottery is $1,215,008.
Did you write this?
