okay I feel like im doubting myself now for h'(t) i got -16t + 79
i split it to a power function and linear function
-16t^2 doesnt go to -16t
using power function rule no?
x^n -> nx^(n-1)
you dont multiply by the new power
mb

coming back to this
my question is
what does solving f acutally do
h`(t) = -32t + 79
when u solve for 0
you get 2.47
what does this represent
this is a more curious question than acutal help
What f
i guess
Ah h
part f
Well consider some function f(x)
What is the significance of f’(x) = 0
(You should’ve covered this at the beginning of calculus)
well if prime doesnt mean anything than that just means x outputs 0
i think i am overcomplicatiing it but its just an output no?
i know that acutally subbing x for a value gives the irc at a point
instantanious rate of change
Anything about critical values?
mmm no
ohh okay so that gives the min value that I can plug in and get output?
that makes sense
In terms of your question it solves for the min/max height
You don’t know if it’s min or max
You need the 2nd derivative to check concavity to know if it’s a local min or max or neither
Consider f(x) = x³
i just realized that it acutally matches perfectly with the max that i found in step e
f’(x) = 0 is solved by x=0
But that’s neither a local min or max
Because f’’(0) is neither positive nor negative
Well you’d hope it did
interesting, yeah this is the first im hearing of this concept
maybe which he thought we would see the values and make a correlation ourselves
which i didnt
lmfao
super cool thankyou for explaining

can anybody tell me how it work
@honest sundial Has your question been resolved?
its solve as 6sin(a)*cos(a)+4(cos^2(a)-sin^2(a) = 5(cos^2(a)+sin^2(a)
9tg^2(a)-6tg(a)=-1 by a=x/2
but miss understand what the f is this
@honest sundial Has your question been resolved?
@honest sundial Has your question been resolved?
i dont understand this
Hello. You want it to look like a sine of a sum:
sin(x+y) = sinxcosy + sinycosx
So you can write those terms as a single sine and solve the equation
fcgvbh m ,v
hellow
its is not wat i request
sin(x+p) - is solve but how to sin and cos p
You want to have it in this form. For that, you have to make sure that the sum of the numbers squared = 1. If it's 1, then they can be written as sine and cos of some angle
Also you can see it's not possible yet because 3 and 4 are greater than 1, which is out of the range of sin and cos
A strategy is diving both sides of the equation by some number k
So
Asinx/k + Bcosx/k = .../k
Now,.you want
(A/k)²+(B/k)² = 1
Solve for k and you get
k=√(A²+B²)
Compare this with sine sum formula
cosø = A/√(A²+B²)
ø = arccos(A/√(A²+B²))

i dont understand the teachers procedure
help
your teacher first chooses 3 people to drive the cars
there are 5 drivers available and 3 cars to put them in, and it matters who goes where, thus 5P3 ways
do you understand? Y/N
9 is the number of ways to pick who goes in the small car as a passenger
so it appears, yes.
it matters who goes in what car but not the arrangement of passengers within each car

just a question
i thought if one isnt a multiple of another
then its L.I
why isnt this L.I?
ok so if there is 3
and we see a multiple
then we no its not L.I
but if we dont
we still have to test?
That is true yes
alr makes sense
Well no technically it is not
well what is this implying
is x2 free variable?
Go to the definition of dependence
Can you add them up with non-zero coefficients to get 0
The presence of the zero vector is important
yea
by soving thru system of equation
Okay fine then solve the system
i just get
c1 = 0
c2 = 0
c1 + c3 = 0
2c1+4c3=0
c1+3c3=0
c1 = -c3
c1 = -2c3
this isnt evne possible
wtf am i doing wrong here
Is what even possible
c1 = -c3 from first eqn
C1 and c3 are 0
ah i get it
Take any multiple of the 0 vector and 0 multiples of the other 2

i dont know how to solve this?
do you know what a power function is?
no
can you write the given function in the form $y = kx^{p}$?
saad
A power function is a function with a single term that is the product of a real number, a coefficient, and a variable raised to a fixed real number.
k is the coefficient, x is the variable and p is the power
how would you expand $(4x^{5})^{2}$ ?
saad
are you sure thats the correct answer?
a power function is just a function with a single term that is the product of k, x, and p. $f(x) = kx^{p}$
saad
whats 4 raised to the power of 2?
16
whats $(x^{5})^{2}$
saad
okay okay ima sound dumb cause its either x^10 or x^25
the former
its x^10
4x^10
4?
where'd this value go
whats outside?
the ^2
yes, that will expand to 16x^10
can you identify k, x, and p?
so is it a power function?
yes
yea
thats it

did you differentiate a ?
then maybe you should put x as something else, look at the summation side
Yeah
$2n (1+x)^{2n-1} = \sum_{k=1}^{2n} k \binom{2n}{k} x^{k-1}$

@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
use the fact that they are not parallel
I still don’t know what to do
ok
we can do this another way
assume lambda and mu are not 0
try to show that the vectors are parallel
How does this prove that they’re not parallel?
if lambda and mu are not both 0 then u and v are parallel
it's the same as saying if u and v are non-parallel then lambda and mu are both 0
Ohhhh
So why must this be done?
we need to consider all cases where lambda and mu are not both 0
Oh ok
How did you know to do this though?
I didn’t think of this
oh it's a pretty common proof technique
if you want to prove that P implies Q, it's the same as proving not Q implies not P
you might want to learn some basic mathematical logic

then find rank of matrix AB```
AB i found is [ 11 25 ]
[ 10 18 ]
i am trying to find the rank of matrix using method of highest order square submatrix with non-zero determinants and the order of this matrix is 2x2 and the determinant is -52 so why isn't the rank 2?
,w rank((11,25);(10,18))
Looks 2 to me
wait so chatgpt was wrong
bro 💀 ...
Chatgpt is not great at maths
fr
It’s very confidently wrong
It can't even do 1+1
lmao thats so true
chat gpt will present very intricate reasoning that is slightly incorrect in some hard to find steps, but sounds correct, for many things
be careful 
So if you don’t know the content well you won’t be able to distinguish if it’s confidently correct or confidently wrong
Which actually makes chatgpt is very very bad tool for learning maths
most often very incorrect and not hard to find 
Because you can’t even tell if it’s right or wrong
the answer in my book is 1
Show it
alr 1 min
,w rank(((1,5,2);(3,2,1))*((2,3);(1,4);(2,1)))

given a random experiment has 2 random variables X and Y, and adding these two variables up can obtain new random variable called X+Y.
Then by the "definition," E(X+Y)=E(X)+E(Y)
Above is a line written on my math book.
To ask for mathematics help on this server, please open your own help channel or help thread. See #❓how-to-get-help for instructions.
could you delete your message and open an new channel
thank you
However, i cannot understand why E(X+Y)=E(X)+E(Y)
Are we looking at continuous or discrete RVs?
if you roll two dice would you not expect to get twice as much on average as if you rolled one?
discrete RVs, I suppose
Do you know the definition of expectation of discrete RVs
no, I expect to get twice the average of one roll with two rolls
it is Sigma Pi Xi, in which P is the probabilty of sth and X is the random variable of sth
Frosst
Yes?
yes
Frosst
Yes?
what does (x+y) stands for?
Well X and Y are functions
So the addition of functions is not the same as adding their values at particular points (we need to define this)
lets say someone flip a coin two times and X,Y is the expected head and tail respectively
No no let’s not do that
then what does (X+Y) stands for?
Well
There’s your problem
What is X?
X is a function from the sample space to the reals
$X:\Omega \to \mathbb R$
Frosst
X = 2 head in 2 flips
No
Y = 2 tails in 2 flips
You have {heads, tails}
This is your domain set
And you have ℝ
This is your target set
ok
Tell me a mapping from your domain to your target
X(heads) = ?
And
X(tails) = ?
They need to equal numbers
Real numbers
X(heads) = 2 , X(tails) = -2
Ok
Now we need to also assign to each event a probability
$P:\Omega \to [0,1]$ such that the total probability is 1
Frosst
that is X (a head)= 1/2 = X(a tail)
X(2 heads)=1/4=X(2 tails)
X is a function defined here
I need you to now tell me about P
I suppose we flip the coin two times?
What is P(heads) =? And what is P(Tails) = ?
it is impossible to tell without knowing how many flips of coin there are
There is 1 flip of a coin
ok
then i suppose it is P(head) instead of the plural heads?
P(head)=1/2 and P(tali)=1/2
But to be fair I defined them with s’
Ok
Now we have $\mathbb E[X] = \sum_{i=1}^2 x_ip_i$
Frosst
yes
$\mathbb E[X] = 2\times\frac{1}{2} + (-2)\times \frac{1}{2}=0$
Frosst
like EV is the expected value
the E[X] seems not clear defined
Why not
as we dont know what it represents
I can be more explicit
$\mathbb E[X] = \sum_{x\in\Omega} X(x)\cdot P(X^{-1}({x}))$
Is that clearer or no
my mind cannot comprehend the right hand side, it seems like an ancient text before jesus was born
Frosst
So right, there’s 2 things in omega
$\mathbb E[X] = X(\text{heads})\cdot P(X^{-1}({\text{heads}})) +X(\text{tails})\cdot P(X^{-1}({\text{tails}}))$
Frosst
Ok let’s dissect this
i cannot figure out what the X^-1 represents
It’s the inverse of X
I suppose it is 1/X?
Um it’s a little weird looking because it’s not necessarily a function
It’s also why there’s a {} around the argument
Hmm this is still a little wrong
The notation is kinda annoying
The idea is we look at all the events
And we sum their (value * prob)
Value is defined by X
Prob is defined by P
the sample space = { the head, the tail} = {2, -2}
P(2)= 1/2 = P(-2)
BUT P(2) = P(head with one flip), as we using 2 to represent the event of getting a head
$\mathbb E[X] = \sum_{x\in\Omega} X(x)\cdot P(X=X(x))$
This is probably easier notation
yes
Frosst
then I suppose let X=R+S
Let’s just say $\mathbb E[X] = \sum_{x\in\Omega} X(x)\cdot P(x)$
Frosst
This probably makes the most sense
yes, it is the definition
Ok now
You can’t stick 2 into P
really? doesnt that 2 stands for the event of getting a head
No that’s X(heads) = 2
Now let’s say you want to add another RV say Y
Y has all the same properties as X
for sure
$\mathbb E[X + Y]=$undefined
Frosst
can we assume E[X] as getting two head within 2 flips and E[Y] as two tails
ohhh
i got you
lets E[X] be expected heads within 2 flips and E[Y]= expected tails
Let $\bold{X}$ be the set of all mappings from $\Omega\to\mathbb R\+_{\text{RV}}:\bold{X}\times\bold{X}\to\bold{X}$
Frosst
And then, let $X, Y\in \bold{X}$, define $X+{\text{RV}} Y (a) = X(a) +{\mathbb R} Y(a)$
Frosst
X,Y belongs to Bold X
Now we can add random variables together and the result is the separate parts’s values
what is the bold X?
Yeah bold X is all the different RV mappings
.
Here you chose a particular X in X
ok, then i think bold X is just a set of diffrent events
Now we have $\mathbb E[X +{\text{RV}} Y] = \sum{x\in\Omega}(X(x)+_{\mathbb R}Y(x))P(x)$
Frosst
From now on I will omit the subscript on the plus symbols it should be obvious which is which
ok
To continue, $\mathbb E[X +{\text{RV}} Y] = \sum{x\in\Omega}(X(x)+{\mathbb R}Y(x))P(x)=\sum{x\in\Omega}\left[X(x)P(x) + Y(x)P(x)\right]= \sum_{x\in\Omega}\left[X(x)P(x)\right] + \sum_{y\in\Omega}\left[ Y(y)P(y)\right]$
Frosst
yes, that is how sigma works
Naturally we then have E[X] + E[Y]
what do you mean naturally, is there any exception
Nope
Well I mean
It needn’t exist
Expectation of an RV isn’t guaranteed to exist
Some kinds of RV have no expectation
it is hard to imagine, is there any intuitive example
Uh, Cauchy distribution
It’s a continuous RV
We define expectation with integrals from -inf to inf
But the Cauchy distributed RV when you try to evaluate the integral you get inf-inf = undefined
I see
So then it has no expectation
I see
An RV need not even have a pdf in fact
It needs only the CDF to exist
I did skip an intermediate step somewhere early on
got it. then I think the proof is just using the properties of sigma and the definition of EV
But explaining that will take forever
Yes but also implicitly we did
This
that is quite important tho
The + in X+Y is not the same + as 3 + 5
It didn’t need to

is -ln(x-1) + ln(x+1) = ln(x+1/x-1)
because you could rewrite it as ln(x+1) - ln(x-1) right? then its just a log rule
because -4 + 2 = 2 - 4
missing a few ()
need to be careful when attempting to combine logs like that
$$\ln(x+1) -\ln(x-1) \tbp \ln\br{\frac{x+1}{x-1}}$$
note that the domains are different. \
e.g the right side is defined when $x=-3$, whereas the left side isn't
ℝam()n()v
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
hmmm
so how would you go about simplying -ln(x-1) + ln(x+1) then?
do nothing
i dont know what i did wrong here but i see the point youre making
unless you're told specific restrictions on x

hello chat
so i just need help finding the derivative of 120xsqrtx cuz google aint helping
$120x\sqrt{x}$?
AℤØ
or $120\sqrt{x}$
AℤØ
in either case the fact $\sqrt{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ will help
AℤØ
this
ik it goes to 120x^(3/2) because of the exponents
but like
but...?
ok so my answer was sqrtx+180sqrtx but apperently thats wrong and i dont know how
im not sure how you did that
yeah me neither i think im messing up my product rule
its not product rule if you know this
its just plain old power rule

sorry fogot to specify
You flipped the root 3 and 1 but otherwise it looks good.
i am supposed to label teh side lengths
wdym isnt xroot3 for 60deg angle?
Yes.
im not sure they did
You put it opposite of the 30 deg angle.
I am assuring you they did.
pi/3 is a 60 degree angl
would what i did be correct?
it seems to easy to be true
I didn't even see the pi/3, I was just going off the 30 they wrote in the angle.
ah
sorry i had corrected it to 60
I have extremely bad vision at midnight
me too
woudl taht be it?
So for the top two
It would be this?
Give me a sec
The values cired
Circled
@jagged cobalt
Can we see the actual instructions at the top?
word for word it is: Label the side lengths of the following right triangles.
seems valid at face value
That's a Ask your Professor type question.
Only your professor can tell you what they exactly wanted.
Maybe your teacher hates your handwriting?
Messed up, but I've seen multiple teachers straight up say "If you have bad handwriting, you need to see a counselor or something because you shouldn't be writing like a 6 year old in high school."
They didn't last long, to be fair.
thats a bit much
only seen one case that bad before
but no i just straight up blanked on the question
i neglected that i could convert radians to degrees

Can anyone help me with this?
!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
I have solved it with a>0 but when a<0 I’m literally stuck
a and b have to have the same sign so it shouldn't be an issue
oh and btw I could only be able to approximate its value but cannot calculate it exactly
i could only approximate it to be bigger than 1.5 so I think the answer is D
I substituted b for [log2(7/3) + 3a] /2
I'll need you to show your work
You're right to use logs but that seems unnecessary
,rccw
It's not $7 \cdot 8^a = 3 \cdot 4^b$
Steakanator
It's (7.8)^a = (3.4)^b
I mean no offensive but it’s this one
I mean the question

How many elements are in the union of all quadratic extensions of GF(5)?
how many quadratic extensions are there
2, but it's not that simple
like of course 2 and 3 are the non squares in GF(5). but some elements of GF(5)[sqrt(2)] and GF(5)[sqrt(3)] will square to the same number
do you not know that all finite fields with the same number of elements are isomorphic?
maybe i'm phrasing my question wrong
i just want to count the number of unique square roots. like uh:
sqrt(2)^2= 2sqrt(3)^2 mod 5
they both square to 2
x and -x square to the same thing
and x^2=c can only have 2 solutions
so thats them

I am a self-taught calculus student. Whilst working on the Gamma Function, I am confused as to the different derivatives with respect to each other, such as du/dx, which differentiates u with respect to x, and I am confused on how that works. Additionally, I wish to know about how to integrate with substitution and how to change integral bounds accordingly whilst doing so.
I think you need to be more specific with your first point
Should I reword it?
maybe give an example
Like du/dx is just the derivative of u wrt x its unclear what you want explaining
For example, the product law in derivatives, if the pronumeral u was substituted in place of, for example, (3-x^2), the first part of the formula is in the format of v * du/dx. I am confused on how the du/dx stands for and how it works.
du/dx is the same as u' if you have seen that notation before
So u and v are just names you are giving to functions of x
u(x)*v(x) and you're applying the product rule to this product of functions
I have seen that before. However, what is the x for, and could it not just be d/du if it were referring to the derivative of u?
So how would I format a derivative of one variable with respect to another?
You mean like d/dx of u² for example?
this isnt as important now in single variable calculus, but later if you for example have f(x,y)=x^2+3y^3 or something, then you need to somehow make it clear whether you are differentiating with respect to x or y. but that's a topic you will see later
So in single variable calculus, the thing that matters is the variable which goes on the bottom and the function being differentiated on the top?
yes
Apologies if I am a little slow, I am 14 and I have a lot to learn. Calculus is simply a hobby of mine :)
But thank you for the explaination, I understand now.
Paul's online maths notes are a good resource if you haven't seen them yet
Oh? Could you provide a link?
Thank you.
You can probably jump in at the derivatives section and review the functions section when/if needed
Limits is something worth looking at if you want to know what a derivative really is and its formal definition

need help
@misty moat
Yes seems right
For 1) you just have to evaluate P(20) as you did
yes?
For 2) compute P’(20)
do you know the answer to this?
Do you know quotient rule?
yeah
Yes use that
Oh so diffrentiate the bottom part what do you get?
And diffrentiate the top part aswell
You get 3x^2 and 30x(6x-7)^4
Now just use quotient rule
i did
i dont know how to do it
i didnt get any of the answers
ive got this
this is not 1 of the answers

That means the difference of all a-b where the range of a as well as b goes from 1 to 6
Is it what it means?
p much. fix one a/b, compute the difference for every other b/a (respectively) in the range of this other summation index
so for example, for each value of a, there are 6 things to calculate (one for each b)
@cinder sundial Has your question been resolved?
a/b, b/a??? What are they?

That “pretty much” adds some uncertainty to your answer

Ordinary Differential Equations
I'm not sure why they do what they do between 10-12
They multiply the equation by the integrating factor mu(t), but they they want the left side to be the derivative of the product mu(t)y?
@ me if anyone answers 🙏
@vestal pilot (11) is just the product rule. Then they look at the rhs of (11) and the lhs (10) with the idea to find some function $\mu(t)$ that will work in both cases
Xenophon
If you set the rhs (11) equal to the lhs(10) you get (12)
Now they try to solve that equation, which is a differental equation
Yeah I'm just not sure why they decided to take the rhs of 11 and the lhs of 10. Like what made them say "we should put those together"?
Well, it could be that no function matches both of those, which would be sad
But if you can find such a function, then you can solve the original differential equation
Notice that the lhs of (11) is of the form d/dt(something)
If d/dt(something) = some function of t, then you can integrate directly
It's not like it's necessarily easy to think of this idea just by looking at the ode
But once you have the idea, you check that it works (which it does)
I'm missing something
Like I don't really get the entire point of why we're actually multiplying by the integral factor mu(t)
Mhmm, the point is to turn an ode into an integral problem
Because the ODE can't be integrated without it?
Yes
Well, any method that does integrate it is a generalization of the integrating factor
Or a special case
Yes, because we choose mu(t) to satisfy (11)
I should say satisfy (11) AND (10)
(10) makes mu(t) specific to the ode in question and (11) ensures that we can then solve the ode
I think the key insight is to look at the lhs of a linear, first order ode, and notice that its structure is similar to the identity from the product rule
i.e. that's just the derivative of another function with the form y*mu(t)
Yeah, I saw that
Buuut, I will say that there are a lot of things in math that are not easy to come up with in a vacuum but have been proven to work
mfw I got like 80+ on this course all while not actually knowing what the hell is going on lol
Some really smart guys in 18th century tried everything for decades and found stuff like this
but it was a year ago, and I've got PDE coming up, so I'm going over it again
why couldn't they invent it simpler
lol
well, thanks for the help

Do you maybe know what they did between 15 and 16?

Hi! I'm stuck on this math question from homework and I don't understand how to do it. I thought maybe I was supposed to complete the square, but that does not give me the right answer.
According to the textbook, the answer is x = 0.15, 1.02, 2.12, or 2.99
Any help is appreciated :')
The common way to solve it is by substitution
For example, by substitute the sinX by t
how many solutions did you get out of completing the square
*correct english is substitute sin x = t
I'm redoing it right now because I think I did it wrong 😭 hold on
I did do that which gave me 8a^2 - 8a + 1 = 0
but it doesn't factor nicely
Thank you
u cant factor , use quadratic formula or completing square
a=sinx, not sinx=0
also u can simplify your vaue for x
*a, not even x
a*
sinx = a
sinx = (2+- sqrt 2) / 4
sinx = (2+sqrt2)/4 , sinx = (2-sqrt2)/4
OH I GOT IT :D
yeah sinv inverse both sides for value of x
wait but
I only got 1.022 and 0.15
how did the textbook get 4 answers? 😭
they also got 2.12
and 2.29
oh is it pi subtract the first two values I got
this is cuz x lies between 0 and 2pi , sinx is positive which means it is either in 1st quadrant or 2nd aka 4 values
the command is very sensitive
