I am curious about what "x.vector b" means.
I need to find lambda somehow
or let's say, a constant?
i bet it means this.
B is a point on a 2-D plane with coordinates (6,-8). lambda is a real number.
Let b be the positision vector of B, with |lambda•b|=30. Find lambda.
i bet thats scalar product
nope
😭
e.g. $\vec{a}=x\vec{i}+y\vec{j}$ and $c\in\mathbb{R}$. Then $c\cdot\vec{a}=cx\vec{i}+cy\vec{j}$
Biscuity
that's for scalar product
yeah
alright
I need a method to find that answer
and after that I will learn vectors from basic level
any like suggestions?
so, what is lambda•c
idk 😭
in terms of i and j
i gave you this example
yea, it looks decent for 15 yo math
that lambda.b is x6i and -x8j
yep
what next
apple the |a| thing
what is apple?
like $\vec{a}=x\vec{i}+y\vec{j}$. Then $|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{x²+y²}$
Biscuity
(x.b)^2=root( (6x)^2 + (-8x)^2) )
yes
owowowowoowo
correct
sorry, I don't really read books, I'd suggest Khan Academy

Using the letters from the word MANUSCRIPT, how many 4-letter arrangements (with
no repetition) consisting of 2 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?
For this question, I'm getting two different ways of doing it and don't understand which is right
So for my first way, I just did
3c2 * 7c2 *4!
Cuz you pick 2 vowels out of 3, 2 consonants out of 3 and then arrange them in 4 spaces
that seems sensible
The other way is the longer way
I picked out out all the different vowels
We get
Ai, au and ui
Yeah I was gonna get to that xD
sorry
So I treated ai as unit
So we get ai * 7 * 6
So we do 7 * 6 * 3 cuz ai can be in any 3 spaces
And then multiply that by 2 cuz it can be ia as well
And multiply that by 3 cuz it can be ua, and iu
So I got 7 * 6 * 3 * 2 * 2
No worries
e.g. amni
Yep accounted for that case after that
So I realized that we had to split them up as well.
So I said we could have
a * 7 * u * 6
U * 7 * a * 6
7 * a * 6 * u
7 * u * 6 * a
So we do 7 * 6 * 4 * 3
3 cuz could be ai, au or ui
And if we add this to this we should have our answer
I got 1260 for this way and about 1500 something for the previous one.
So idk which one is right or what I did wrong
i mean this second thing is so muddled the error could be anywhere
Fair enough
But is the first way right? I couldn't visualize that way properly
And as I don't have answers, I can't even check
i'd say the first way is right ye

how does this indicate order-ness? can someone explain this better than the textbook?
"the Polish mathematician Kazimierz Kuratowski (1896–1980) published the following definition, which has since become standard. It says that an ordered pair is a set of the form
{{a}, {a, b}}.
This set has elements, {a} and {a, b}. If a != b, then the two sets are distinct and a is in both sets whereas b is not. This allows us to distinguish between a and b and say that a is the first element of the ordered pair and b is the second element of the pair. "
{{a}, {a,b}}...so this is a set containing two elements. the first element is a set containing a, second is a set containing a and b..how does that tell us a is the first element ?
The point of this construction is that {{a},{a,b}} is NOT the same as {{b},{b,a}}
maybe this will help: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1767649/993372
whereas {a,b} is the same as {b,a}
mm , ill give this a read.
i see...so . {{1}, {1,2}} != {{2}, {2,1}} , so in addition to your example... if its {{a}, {b}}, it also wouldnt work because {{1}, {2}} === {{2}, {1}}? But i will read the article now. tyty
yes, even though {1, 2} = {2, 1}
@strange flicker Has your question been resolved?
ok i see. so.. a set notation simply shows the unique identity (elements) in a container (set) . Theres nothing in it that tells us order. But mathematician like Kuratowski/Felix Hausdorff shows us that we can put these variable in such a way it shows unique-ness with respect to x and y relative to each other. The article goes on to say, it doesn't really give us on how to choose which is first or second. whether we read from left to right or right to left is up to anyone...in the end these numbers are just plotted on the x,y axis, wether you line up x first or y first. - its the same point on the cartesian graph.
i think i get it

need help with finding the range
i tried asking chatgpt for questions and answered it with wolfram
im confused asf
chatgpt gave me this question
Let p(x) = x^2 + 3x − 2
NEVER USE CHATGPT FOR MATH.
oh damn fr?
yes
also i knew that the domain for this is all real numbers

If f=60 hz
ω=2pif
So its sin(120pi(t))
How would you calculate the intervals?

Can someone please check my graph for this?
the problem asked you to use 4 values and youve used 5 but other than that its good
I mean it looks fine to me
What about this one?
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
@balmy night @foggy stirrup I’m really sorry for the ping but i would really appreciate it if you could help me with this. It’s totally alright if you don’t want to. Sorry again for the bother.
It’s ok to ping me I don’t mind
I’m really sorry to tell you this, but temperature is always on the y axis. Your volume is on the y axis
Wait what r u measuring first
Hold on.
Temperature I think
I mean is this chart related to something or are they just telling you to graph the points
They just telling to graph points
But yea, your x axis is independent and your y value is depending on what the x axis is.
They also had another graph in the question prior to this, that they asked questions about, which also didn’t mention anything but assumed that temperature was independent
Oooh wait don’t listen to me
Ok yea I had to make sure
You’re good
It’s temperature and time
One more thing I wanted to ask
Do you think i should have have gone with 258 K instead of 258.15 K and such?
I mean would that be an issue as class interval is like 20 K
I honestly don’t know
It depends on the teacher tbh. Saying 258.15 I don’t think will hurt your grade unless they’re asking you to round down or up
Especially since you drew the graph on paper and the dots are in between the right intervals
But if I change that to 258, would that be a better bet?
Or would she point out that it’s not precise enough
That really depends on the teacher. I never had a teacher that punished me for being more precise unless it said to round up or down.
I would keep it the same
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?

Thank you so so much animelover

How do I solve this without a calculator
Xenophon
@mystic nebula Has your question been resolved?
Thats all the context they give me to work with
Ok, assuming that the function is x cubed, what do you think the answer is?
no idea.
I know what it looks like on a graph but I dont know why
Ik the origin is 0,0
same goes for any other function
like x^2 or cube root

Try graphing x^3 on Wolfram alpha
Yes I'm not allowed to use a calculator for this section on a test
I understand how the graph looks
but how do I apply this to other functions?
Are you learning calculus or algebra?
Pre calc algebra
Basically, concavity depends on the rate of change of the slope of the function
For a cubic, that changes at 0 because (-1)^3 is -1
It's an odd function
Not sure how much deeper I can go with just algebra
guess ill just blame the curriculum
I think you're just supposed to be familiar with the shape
wish it went deeper with explaining problems :/
All odd powered functions will be similar, but you really need calculus for this imo
yea i can memorize the shapes but what if it wants me to apply something to it
there are end behaviors associated with polynomial functions
also roots tell you about the roots and turning points where u need to graph
but yes, accurate curve sketching requires calculus

need help
I'm guessing the types are like
Linear, quadratic, exponential?
oh
how would ik if it is linear
It’s linear if the equation isn’t raised to a power, rooted, log, etc. a constant line if you will
Line isn’t the best terminology since they’re all lines lol
Correct
This is a strange question because the definition of each graph for the answer IS the explanation

Why isn't it?
2 y value
FYI you can combine intervals for the domain
ah ok
Where?

hey
so i need help with these and my teacher is refusing to help me for whatever reason
she doesnt help us when we ask and when we do alto of the time she just says "go watch the recording" and then doesnt post it
you just need to apply these rules
so for angle 1, lines l and m are parallel, so it has the same measure as the 22 degree angle above it
the rest are similar
for the second picture, use the rules to form equations in x and y, then just solve for x or y
wait so
its 22 because theyre parallel?
await no
lemme rephrasde
theyre the same distance away from eachother
22 degrees
and since its the same for the last one
it makes it 22
ok
so then angle 1,2,3 are 22?
therefor 22 being the answer?
the messaure is 22 and the relationship is parallel
use the names here
angle 1 corresponds to the 22 degree angle
so correspodinging?
angle 2 is alternate to angle 1
alright so should i put that as awnser
yes, that's what the question is asking for
the first set are interior angles so they add up to 180
form an equation then solve for x
similarly, the second pair of angles are alternate, so they are equal
again, form an equation then solve for y
ok
try forming an equation with this information
(6x-32) = (4x+2)
?
yes
and set them equal to 180
you just add them:
(6x-32) + (4x+2) = 180
solve the equation for x
yes
If my teacher gave me this I’d genuinely start tweaking.
You need to remember that if the degree is given, it’s usually = to the other side of the equation. I’m doing similar work, but for me it’s usually
x=y°
(Correct me if I’m wrong)
Hopefully that helps with the rest :)
show your working
yeah it doesnt heelp i have 16 more assignments and and a project i have to get done by TONIGHT
I'm guessing you added them together to get 180
Oh I just read the rules sorry lol
bngl i just said a random number
right
yes
they're alternate angles
so they are equal
they're not interior, so they don't add up to 180
you should be setting the angles equal for your equation
form an equation
10y+4)=(11y)
yes
or
now solve for y
yes

question is if a,b is on f(x) what would it become after these transformations (ignore the work on the paper).

im stupid i dont even know how to multiply
the right symbol is pi
btw
would be that
135 right?
no
how not?
two things
one, pi is irrational, meaning you cannot compute the expression and get a precise number as a result
So, you have to approximate pi in some way if you want to get something
3.14 for example
oh okay you are not at the level of this conversation, ill wait for somone else 🙂
probaly frownyfog know
two, you don't want to multiply it, it's good enough
ohh okay but if i just put 135 is right anyways right
(the expression you sent above would be the only simplified version you can have, any approximations of pi would just be approximations and not a true equality)
if that-s the final ans for example
you just stick pi with 3, so 3pi/4
pi is equivalent to 180
Why so dismissive? Are you here to troll or actually get help?
You've done this with other helpers in your previous channel
because im talking about radians
in radians pi is 180
not "3.14"
pi is not equal to 180 and you are confusing yourself. Plus you have provided 0 context to allude this to begin related to trigonometry or angles
when you're doing angles yes.
otherwise pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter
and that's all it is
3/4 x pi = 3pi/4 or 3/4 x 22/7 = 33/14
if u are working on degree to radian its
radian = degree x (pi/180)
degree = radian x (180/pi)
<@&268886789983436800> this user has been pretty rude a few times from what I've seen so far.
haha what are you talking about
wait wha-
EXPOSED
are you harassing me?
I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but I don't think that hostile attitude towards people trying to help you is appreciated.
btw if u wanna report im sure there will be a channel for that
That's why I pinged moderators.
it will be easier for moderator to read everything because there will be conversation in between here
ok so is it clear? @alpine sable the pi thing
there is a calculator bot or something here_
what are u trying to ask actually
even im confused
You should start behaving better, if you're not going to help then it's better not to do anything, I haven't done anything to you, besides the pi boy was with the idea that pi was 3.14 and when he found out that pi was worth 180 he stopped writing
in my calculator
i put
arcocos 1/-sqrt(2)
the usage of the word worth lmao
i have no idea what in tarnation are u talking about
good advice
cuz those reporters dont understand it
sorry
well that's the answer in radians
not talking about u
3 * pi / 4
never heard that word before
yeah
hell = tarnation
so what is ur question
,wolf arccos(-1/sqrt(2))
what is the thing that u doesnt understand
well my answer was 135 and that was the answer i wrote, but then i saw you said the answer was 33/14 and its confused me a lot
yeah it is 135
i dont know english sorry:(
probably that's why i dont get you sometimes
lol
well that's it percy, see you man, probably ill come back in 10 minutes

Quantum dots are extremely tiny - just a few millionths of a millimetre across.
What is few millionths of a millimetre
What if I want to express it using mathematical notations
I think you mean scientific notation
Yes
A millionth of a millimeter is a nanometer, or 10^-9 m.
what is a millionth tho
1 000 000?
but in reverse
1 divided by 1000000.
i see thanks
Like a "third" is 1 divided by 3.
thanks
more generally "an N'th" means 1/N, for N ≥ 3.
That’s quite useful, thank you
I think the question is solved

You have two coins on your pocket. One of them is a fair coin. The other is a biased coin (30% chance of heads when tossed).
The coins look and feel the same, and you can no longer tell which is which. If “tails” is the actual outcome of the toss, what is the probability that you tossed the fair coin?```
so this uses bayes.
P(fair coin) = 1/2 = P(biased coin)
P(T) = 1/2 (this part im not sure about)
then by bayes, the P(fair coin | T) = 1/2. but this is wrong, cuz it should be 5/12
nope, you don't know that P(T) = 1/2
you know P(T | fair) = 0.5
but P(T | biased) = 0.7
oh i see

do you know how to find the equation of a straight line given two points on that line?
well dy/dx will be the slope where dy is the difference between the y values and dx is the difference between the x values
you have two points on a straight line in this question. you can use that to find the equation of that line
not sure where you got that from ...
What are the two points given in the question on the straight line you want to find the equation of?
oh I see you found the slope of line segment connecting (-5,6) to (-3,-2)
okay let's forget about the equations of the lines for now
do you see how to simplify ff(-3)?
you do have some information about f, though
for instance, what is f(-3)?
f(-3) will be a number which is the value of f when x=-3. you can find this by looking at the graph
yes
so can you simplify ff(-3) to be f(?)
I'm asking what ? should be here
ff means "f composed with f", so ff(x)=f(f(x))
i.e you take x, find out what f(x) is, and then plug f(x) back into f
yes
that is true, the last thing you wrote
Using the definition of ff(x):
ff(-3)=f(f(-3))=f(?)
which bit don't you see?
It's not a trick question: there's only one fact you can use at this stage and that's f(-3)=-2
no, unfortunately
okay, so if you have f(-3)=-2
that means you can replace f(-3) with -2
our goal right now is just to simplify the composition ff(-3) to be f(?)
you can plug whatever number you want into the function f, even a number you get by applying f to another number
yes!!
so now the problem is just to find f(-2)
no it's because f(-3)=-2 so we can replace f(-3) with -2
so f(f(-3))=f(-2) simply because f(-3) and -2 are the same number
it's okay; maths is like that. it's impossible until it's obvious
so the problem has been reduced to find f(-2). there are two line segments; which one is relevant in this case?
i.e which line segment should we look at when x=-2?
why that one?
that's not really relevant ... both line segments have x values in the negatives
the point is: the line segment from (-3,-2) to (7,18) is relevant when x takes a value between -3 and 7
the line segement from (-5,6) to (-3,-2) is relevant when x takes a value between -5 and -3
do you understand this by looking at the graph?
you can also think of it this way: if you were to draw a vertical line up from x=-2 which line segment will you hit?
yes, it's the one form (-3,-2) to (7,18) because -2 is in the range -3 to 7
so now all you need to do is find the equation of the line connecting those two points
it's easy to check that y=2x+4 is the correct equation for that line, but you should be able to find it just by using the two points
yes because f(x)=2x+4 for x in the range -3 to 7
so f(-2)=2*(-2)+4
no problem, hope the rest of the question goes well

u have to divide x-2 into the polynomial
ik this equates to 0
so this divided by all the answer choices
and see what gives me 0?
yes
and if u bring the 2 over u get x-2? and that’s why it’s a factor?
because x=2 so x-2=0
try the same thing the opposite way for the other answers. i.e for x+4 try sub in x=-4
yh
why neg
(x+4) -> x+4=0 -> x=-4
or you could also try and think of a quadratic that you multiply (x-2) to get the cubic in the question and then factorise that
idk what that means
so should i just flip each sign
yeh sub each in
okay im doing this now
it’ll take a while but if u don’t know how to do what skelaboi said or are not able to long divide polynomials then you have to do this way
(x+4) gives me -48 so thats not it
correct
(x-1) gave me 12
ok
nice
nice
okay
there’s ur three answers

Hi
tbh man idk bc it’s not in english
if you're solving 2xy-y=0 then:
x=1/2 and y arbitratry
and
y=0 and x arbitrary
are both two sets of solutions
So the system has 2 set of solutions?
the single equation 2xy-y=0 has two infinite sets of solutions
the system of equations will have less solutions
What are the system solitions
well, consider the two cases:
Case 1, x=1/2:
you can plug this back into the first equation and solve for y
Case 2, y=0:
same thing
except solving for x
The solutions are diffeerent with the 2 cases
what do you mean by that?
you probably will yes
But usually in a system of 2 variables and 2 equations i cam get a real value of the 2 variables that doesnt change
Why in this case it changes
It's not that it changes, it's just that there are multiple solutions
here's a silly example
y=x^2-5x
y=-6
if you solve this system you you will get two pairs of solutions (x,y)=(2,-6) and (x,y)=(3,-6)
you can see why if you draw the graphs y=-6 and y=x^2-5x. these intersect in two places
similarly, if you draw the graphs of the equations you have, you'll see they intersect in multiple places (i haven't solved it, I don't know how many)
in other words, there are multiple pairs (x,y) such that those equations are true. this is not such a weird thing, you just happen to mainly have experience with equations where there is a unique solution
How do I know the amount of pair solutions
for my example?
you just have to actually solve it and see how many pairs you get
What if I have 3 lines
i.e
y=x^2-5x
y=-6
substitute second into the first
-6=x^2-5x
x^2-5x+6=0
(x-3)(x-2)=0
exactly two possibilities: x=3 and x=2
I can have a lot of options
okay so straight lines you'll have 0, 1, or infinitely many solutions. try to visualise the number of ways a pair of straight lines can intersect: either they're the same line, they're parallel and don't intersect, or they intersect at exactly one point
Ok I understand this but here u solved normally
we're solving "normally" in your case too
maybe this is the thing that is confusing:
if 2xy-y=0 then y(2x-1)=0
then either y=0 or x=1/2. But at least one of these has to be true
do you see why?
that won't be all of the solutions, but you will find some of them
So in any system with x variables
I have to take a variable and put it= something
And solve the rest
And do this for each variable over again
well ... you need to use the information from one equation in another
in this case we happen to see that the second equation 2xy-y is solve for constants y=0 or x=1/2
but if this were x-y=0 instead, all we could do is subsitute y=x into the other equation
but the idea is mostly right: you want to eliminate variables one by one
But what if the lines are long and each time u do this u get with x=eddbes/ehej
How do u tell how many options u have
I dont understand
You just keep going until one line gives you multiple real solutions for 2 variables or more and use that different potential results?
it's different for every system. there's no more exact set of rules to solve every non-linear system
This?
you can keep going and hopefully you end up with one line that's just in terms of one variable and you can solve that

s is in the interval [0,t]
tho the |s| isnt the important part to get rid of here
yeah true, so i can bound the s by t, and then can i somehow bound the remaining integral by max s in [0,1] |f(s)-g(s)|?
or is the t in the upper bound of the integral causing problems
no you can bound that by 1
s?
the t
in the upper bound of the integral
you actually dont want to bound s. you will see why
oh okay, so if i bound the t by 1, then i can bound the whole thing by max s in [0,1] |sf(s)-sg(s)|
?
yes but not exactly what you want
it was good factoring the s out
you want to get d(f,g) somewhere
max s in [0,1] |f(s)-g(s)| would give me the d(f,g), but i dont see what to do with the s
its max would give me 1, thus not a contraction
d(f,g) is a number
so you can move it out of the integral
what are you left with
can i move |f(s)-g(s)| outside even tho we are integrating wrt s?
yes
amazing, thanks!
you're welcome

Why would it?
since its vertical
It does have an upward foce component
isnt T3 holding it up
Equal and opposite forces
If T1 wasn't there, then it falls
so its always the one connected to teh roof
if T3 wasn't there then it falls as well

in a set notation, does ':' mean the same as s.t.?
@light bridge Has your question been resolved?
No i don't think so
: or | means a condition
for example in (f)
it's saying
A is the set of all numbers y/y+1 where the condition is that y is in N
While if you were to write (f) using s.t.
it would be different
wrong choice of words
they should've said
"where"
Such that implies something
Choose numbers such that condition applies
just saying
these numbers
and then such that
doesn't make much sense at least not to me
as in
1, 2, 3 such that condition
can you elaborate i still dont understand
'such that' is less clear to me than if they had used 'where'
for example
(f)
A is the set of all numbers y/y+1 where y is in N
this is what f is with the : or |
but with such that
A is the set of all numbers y/y+1 such that y is in N
but y is in N is not dependent on y/y+1
it's a condition you apply to y/y+1
but i dont see how the sets are different with b) and the definition
because in both case the values in the set would be the same
no matter if they are a condiftion or related
oh is it because in b), it is y that where looking for
and in the original definition, x is what were looking for
