I m thinking to made this by writting full part 2x+1/3 =0

#

And full part of 3x+1/4 =0

#

So that the equality is true

cerulean garnet
#

are you tryna find x?

#

or what

zinc turret
#

Yes

cerulean garnet
#

ok go ahead

zinc turret
#

I need to find x

@zinc turret use that [t] <= t < [t]+1

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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

what's the formula for the surface area of an open topped cylinder

crimson oar
#

no clue sorry

vale wigeon
#

do you know what a cylinder looks like

crimson oar
#

first time doing this sort of a question

#

yes

vale wigeon
#

and do you know how to find the surface area of a full cylinder

#

i.e. closed top

crimson oar
#

yes

vale wigeon
#

ok tell me

#

how do you find it

crimson oar
#

2pir (r+h)

#

cause CSA

#

and area of 2 circles

#

OH WAIT

vale wigeon
#

yes exactly

crimson oar
#

ITS OPEN TOPPED FROM ONE END

vale wigeon
#

here you just have only 1 circle

#

the bottom

crimson oar
#

OH

vale wigeon
#

so instead of 2πrh + 2πr^2 you have 2πrh + 1πr^2

crimson oar
#

ohh

#

and then we find height

#

and then find volume

vale wigeon
#

yes

crimson oar
#

thank you sm!

If you have an ERROR of 4.13, how do you round it? Do you round it off to 4.1 or 4.2?

lone heartBOT
#

@weak swift Has your question been resolved?

alpine sable
weak swift
#

But then that would make the solution more accurate than it actually is. Note that 4.13 is an ERROR and not a normal value.

#

@alpine sable

alpine sable
#

The general rule is to round up if the digit after the specified decimal place is 5 or greater, and round down if it is less than 5.

So, rounding an error of 4.13 to one decimal place, you would get 4.1.

lament forge
#

i think probably this depends on who's asking you about this concept of an ERROR

lament forge
#

an ERROR is to my knowledge not a concept with a standard definition (the way that for instance everyone agrees on what "real numbers" are)

#

so how exactly it's defined and what rules it follows will depend on who defined it, it's not something that we can guess without that information because there isn't one standard that everyone uses

#

(...to clarify: are the all caps part of the name of the concept, so an "error" would be a distinct thing from an "ERROR", or was that just for emphasis?)

weak swift
lament forge
#

...ok yeah i guess that's pretty reasonable

#

although that definition doesn't logically necessitate any particular rule for how to round them, so the question of "who gave you this definition" is still relevant

#

or more precisely, who's providing the definition of rounding an error

#

if it's the real world and you're trying to do something that's actually practical with real data, then uh, just don't round it? give as many decimal places as anyone reasonably might want and then explicitly quantify the amount of imprecision of anything that's imprecise

weak swift
#

Let's say there was this problem involving floating numbers and I rounded them off to two decimal places for the sake of simplicity. Then, there's bound to be an error, right? Suppose I'm asked to correct the error to say 1 decimal place then do I round it off up or down?

#

The question is if I should follow the general rules for rounding off numbers or should I round it off up so that the error interval isn't reduced?

#

In the Karush-Kuhn Tucker conditions in nonlinear optimization, I don't understand how a zero gradient Lagrangian would be a necessary condition for global optimality. Or local for that matter. Neither why the Lagrange multipliers need be non-negative.

Problem 3

tight pawn
#

just do the opposite when f(x) is big 1/f(x) is small etc ? @thin sedge

thin sedge
#

Wait

#

Is it where

#

The asymptotes would be at -2

#

3

#

7

#

-7*

#

Then u just draw those weird things

#

Horizontal asymptote -4 right

#

Or no horizontal asymptote

tight pawn
#

why would it be any horizontal asymptote ?

thin sedge
#

Idk

tight pawn
#

so why do you write it ?

rose sigil
#

there is one though hmmge

thin sedge
#

Idk just a maybe thought

#

was clarifying the problem more but ok

tight pawn
#

you did not write a horizonale one in this case

#

it's a vertical one

thin sedge
#

ok

tall topaz
thin sedge
#

I just thought maybe the y intercept could be horizontal asymptote bcuz all the x intercepts are vertical asymptotes

can anyone help me generalise the integrals of the type
$\int\frac{1}{ax^2 + bx + c}dx$

ocean sealBOT
#

Wither

zealous ingot
#

Maybe try completing the square and then generalising the result depending on the value/sign of a b and c

real parrot
#

btw @lethal belfry

#

found the yt solution to the last one as well lmao

undone ledge
#

wild

real parrot
#

I got it

bright scarab
#

substitute x = costheta

real parrot
#

need help witht he 1/quadratic

quasi vector
#

nvm

bright scarab
#

bro simple just sub x = costheta

quasi vector
#

for this

real parrot
quasi vector
#

just complete the square

bright scarab
#

yeah

quasi vector
#

then based on the sign of the discriminant you can make two cases

real parrot
bright scarab
real parrot
#

like where you derive the quadratic formula?

quasi vector
#

yep

bright scarab
#

cus in numerator u have cos inverse of x

real parrot
bright scarab
#

x = cos theta? seems right

real parrot
#

I tried it

#

didnt get to a solution

quasi vector
real parrot
#

this is the solution to the last one

bright scarab
#

yeah but since this is so ambiguos how will we know which one to substitute in exam

#

half of them will go for sin and other will go for cos

real parrot
#

I also went for cos first

lethal belfry
real parrot
#

they have just copied the ss

lethal belfry
undone ledge
real parrot
wind quail
#

if $ax^2+bx+c$ can be factorisizes , decomposite it first .

undone ledge
#

? so how are you comparing with here-

quasi vector
#

substituting u=cos(x) would also work, though it would be much harder

ocean sealBOT
#

Natural7

real parrot
#

to find the factors?

undone ledge
#

i mean then you can write it in factor method, sure

real parrot
#

$(x + \frac{b + \sqrt{D}}{2a})(x + \frac{b - \sqrt{D}}{2a})$

ocean sealBOT
#

Wither

real parrot
lethal belfry
#

you could, but as others have mentioned earlier, the general formula depends on what the "completing the square " yields, it could either be arctan(something) or ln(something)

bright scarab
# ocean seal **Wither**

complete the square and use these
1)
1/x^2 + p^2 means tan^-1(x/p))/p

1/x^2-p^2 means ln(x-p/x+p))/2p

1/p^2-x^2 means ln(p+x/p-x))/2p

real parrot
#

hmm

#

wait cant you do partial fractions?

bright scarab
#

these are the formulas we were made to cram in my country

undone ledge
#

real

bright scarab
#

along with hyperbolic sines and cosines

real parrot
bright scarab
#

yeah

undone ledge
lethal belfry
bright scarab
#

but we have no idea they are hyberbolic sines and cosines

bright scarab
undone ledge
#

all are indian in this chat btw

lethal belfry
#

no way, I'm from india, don't know anyone who had to do that

bright scarab
#

then why dont they know it

undone ledge
#

and cos had a -?

bright scarab
#

dont u guys know about ln|x+root(x^2+a^2)

#

this thing

undone ledge
#

same thing

bright scarab
#

this is wat the derivative of hyperbolic sine

undone ledge
#

derivative?

bright scarab
#

yeah

undone ledge
#

its it just cosh x

bright scarab
#

the thing u put inside integral

bright scarab
undone ledge
#

oh the other way arround

bright scarab
#

ahh yes

undone ledge
#

makes sense

#

lol

#

$\frac{1}{a}\int\frac{dx}{x^2 + \frac{2b}{2a} + \frac{b^2}{4a^2} + (\frac{c}{a} - \frac{b^2}{4a^2})}$

did it crash?

is it a coincidence these formulas look similar?

is this coincidence the above formulas and this one feels similar

#

(I THINK)

#

checking on net i forgot

bright scarab
#

why the
formula of root (x^2-a^2) is similar to 1/root(x^2-a^2) and so on

#

like theres is a matchup

where $k^2 = (\frac{c}{a} - \frac{b^2}{4a^2})$

$\frac{1}{a}\int\frac{dx}{x^2 + \frac{2b}{2a} + \frac{b^2}{4a^2} +k^2}$

anyways back to his question shal we

undone ledge

#

thinking too much tbh , different casses got different shit dude

bright scarab
undone ledge
#

you cant just say " generalising"

#

sadly

bright scarab
#

like i told u just keep memorise the formulas

undone ledge
#

we litterally gave you so many examples.

$\frac{1}{a}\int\frac{dx}{(x +\frac{b}{2a})^2 + (\frac{c}{a} - \frac{b^2}{4a^2})}$

what was u?

let $u = (x + \frac{b}{2a}))$

don't wanna enter complex numbers

yeah

#

how did you get here again?

lethal belfry
real parrot
quasi vector
undone ledge
#

fair

undone ledge
quasi vector
#

just write $ax^2+bx+c=a(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{\Delta}{4a}$, where $\Delta$ (the discriminant) is given by $\Delta=b^2-4ac$

ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

real parrot
#

$\frac{1}{a}\int\frac{dx}{u^2 + k^2} = \frac{1}{a}(\frac{1}{k}arctan\frac{1}{k}) + C$

#

every case can be solved in this way, by taking into account the signs of $\Delta$ and a

ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

real parrot
ocean sealBOT
#

Wither

real parrot
quasi vector
#

you aren't wrong

#

but

#

there's no point trying to generalise the integral

#

because

#

based on the signs of the discriminant and the leading coefficient the integral changes

#

I would not recommend you to memorise the formulae either

quasi vector
#

derive all of them by yourself using trig substitutions

real parrot
quasi vector
real parrot
ocean sealBOT
#

Wither

quasi vector
#

ah

quasi vector
ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

real parrot
#

so we get only 1 value??

quasi vector
#

let's take some examples here

real parrot
quasi vector
#

$\int \frac1{x^2+4x+3} dx$

ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

quasi vector
#

the first step is to find the signs of $\Delta$ and a

ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

real parrot
quasi vector
#

correct

#

now we complete the square

#

alternately, you can complete the square in the beginning

#

$\int \frac1{(x+2)^2-1} dx$

ocean sealBOT
#

kheerii

quasi vector
#

how would you integrate that?

real parrot
quasi vector
#

yeah

real parrot
#

let u = x + 2

quasi vector
#

so tell me what the final answer would be

real parrot
real parrot
quasi vector
#

you can, either method would get you the same answer

real parrot
quasi vector
#

you can

#

yes

real parrot
quasi vector
#

but we are looking for a more general answer

real parrot
#

agreed

quasi vector
#

in terms of inverse trigonometric functions

real parrot
#

wait

real parrot
quasi vector
real parrot
#

the last thing

real parrot
quasi vector
#

well yeah

#

tell me what it would be for this one

real parrot
#

$\frac{1}{2}ln|\frac{x+3}{x+1}| + C$

#

real parrot

#

yeah same

#

tanh inverse

undone ledge
#

what was the integral we talking about here?

real parrot
#

kinda

#

we were talkin bout an example

undone ledge
real parrot
#

yes

undone ledge
#

coth

#

inverse

#

and then x+2/a

#

blurry memmory sorry

undone ledge
real parrot
#

s*

undone ledge
#

x+a/x-a? form ?

#

1 sec

#

lemme check

#

ah yeah

#

i c

#

works

#

arccoth x+2 or that thing

#

both works

#

it would depend on mcqs

#

(carefull if multichoice multi correct)

real parrot
#

oh

#

so arctan is not a general solution

#

cos u cant get ln from arctan

undone ledge
#

ye nothing is general

#

depends on the coefficient and constant values sadly

#

if you like to generalise you are going to love coordinate geometry of 11th

#

(my fav too)

real parrot
undone ledge
#

dw its not your regular geometry

real parrot

only conic sections

sticking to 10th boards for now

undone ledge

like thats 75 math syllabus

real parrot

but I dont really like Indian education system a lot

#

they just tell you to accept formulae

undone ledge
#

not a place to talk about here

real parrot

fr

undone ledge
quasi vector
undone ledge
#

also you will get to know many proofs in further classes

#

yeeeeeeee

real parrot
#

for example

#

no teacher tells you how to derive formula for median and mode

undone ledge
#

like bro one chem teacher of mine teaches a 12th topic if small part of it is required in some concept

real parrot
#

unless they're exceptionally interested towards students

quasi vector
#

the important proofs are usually given by good teachers

quasi vector
#

but they don't prove everything coz it isn't necessary

undone ledge
#

and sometimes too complex

#

mostly^

real parrot
#

sometimes students are interested in actually deriving surface areas of shapes

#

and the teachers just force them to accept it

real parrot
quasi vector
#

what surface area formula is taught that isn't extremely elementary to derive yourself?

quasi vector
#

well

undone ledge
#

oh right there was a small fun activity of it in nccert

#

or some

undone ledge
#

4 circles 1 thread

real parrot
#

oh yea

quasi vector
#

the proof for SA of a sphere is not easy

#

it can't be taught

undone ledge
#

fair

quasi vector
#

without understanding of topology

real parrot
undone ledge
quasi vector
#

calculus proofs are pretty "cheaty" imo

undone ledge
#

im not able to imagine that working

real parrot
quasi vector
#

plus, the formula for the volume of a sphere comes from the formula for the surface area, so it's a cyclic proof

well my doubt is cleared

so ill close this

we'll continue

As someone who has done differential equations before, and would just need a good book or literally anything structured to recap things, what resources would you recommend for that very purpose?

proud igloo
#

I'm also making the assumption that example problems are easy to find, but if there are any resources that are especially good at providing you example problems, I'd gladly check it out.

remote heron
#

depends on what exactly kind of thing youre looking for. I used pauls math notes to review for PDE.

proud igloo
#

Additionally, I would not say I'm a BEGINNER.

remote heron
#

ODE seems like a big topic but it actually doesnt take that much time to review everything going back through

#

just focus more on solving/proving/deriving things in general rather than doing specific problems where you can

#

i feel like the only things that come up having moved way past ODE is VOP and exactness and series TBH

#

of course the theory

#

but ymmv

proud igloo
remote heron
#

sorry

#

ode ordinary differential equations

#

i just assumed thats what you mean my differential equations

#

vop is variation of parameters

#

is one of the like, 'hammer' methods, the killer methods to solve anything

#

same thing with series

#

obviously not solve anything, but they do come up

#

or are applicable or whatever you wanna say

proud igloo
#

I have no way of grouping stuff within terms. I followed along with the courses, I familiarised myself with differential equations, I got good grates and now I wanna recap. I could just buy the book I was using but I kinda wanna recap it in english which is not the language of the textbook I used.

#

So some sorta book would be good in my case.

remote heron
#

how long has it been?

proud igloo
#

Not too long, year or so.

#

But I forget quickly.

remote heron
#

to me it seems crazy to use a book, even if thats true

#

i mean, it seems crazy to go through a book again like you were retaking the course

#

just review the major topics

proud igloo
remote heron
#

i would use pauls math notes

#

again i say all of this as a person who reviewed differential equations and was similarly worried

#

a class will almost always feel smaller when you go back through it

proud igloo
#

Also, I do not enjoy Blue3Brown2... wait was it.... 3Blue2Brown, there we go. I do struggle with his videos because I feel like he's just showing a bunch of graphics that he wrote in some program, explaining them, but it doens't get me more well-read on the topic. Like it literally works worse than anything else I've ever used.

#

I dunno if it's just me.

remote heron
#

no its a common complaint

proud igloo
#

Getting him recommended again tends to give me headaches.

remote heron
#

some of the helpers here have brought up specific misconceptions a lot of people have from watching his videos

proud igloo

#

so i took the derivative of x

#

x' = -Aae^(-at)cos(wt) - Awe^-(-at)sin(wt)

#

which becomes
x' = Aae^(-at) ( Bcos(wt-phi))

#

when this is zero i have maxima and minima

#

this is zero only when cos(wt-phi) = 0

#

wt-phi = pi/2

#

next period is on the next 2pi rotation
wt-phi+2pi = pi/2 + 2pi

left side can be rewritten as
w(t+2pi/w) -phi
so that 2pi/w is the pseudo period. which is the same as the one in the problem.

#

is this reasoning correct ? because solution seems a bit different and i don't get it

#

this is the solution, i don't understand what they are doing in the highlighed area

I think your derivative is slightly wrong. It should be $x'(t)=-Aae^{-at}cos(\omega t)-A\omega e^{-at}sin(\omega t)$. You then set it equal to 0 and have $-Aae^{-at}cos(\omega t)-A\omega e^{-at}sin(\omega t)=0$. $e^{-at}\neq0$ so it can be divided out along with -A to get $acos(\omega t)+\omega sin(\omega t)=0$. From there, subtract over $acos(\omega t)$ and divide $cos(\omega t)$ to get the result in the answer key.

1/u^2 you reciprocate it right so it becomes -u^2 then u apply integration power rule

yes

wait no

#

it's

$u^{-2}$

ocean sealBOT

dragonbreath

fervent kestrel

not -u^2

OHHH rightt i see it now

#

THANK YOU!!!

#

and it comes u^-2+1 so just u then reciprocated again thats why its negative 1/u

#

oh NO

#

it beocomes u^-1

fervent kestrel
#

using just "u^-2 + 1" you would only get 1/u, you need to divide by the new power. which is -1

Yes yes i see it now thank you so much

orchid perch

orchid perch
#

this is from wikipedia

#

does the existence of the result imply the existence of the operands?

#

i.e., if we know x*y is in the set closed under *, are x and y necessarily in the set?

wide tartan
#

no, for example if you take your operation to be addition and the set to be the integers

orchid perch
#

The closure property of a binary operation expresses the existence of a result for the operation given any pair of operands.[4]

wide tartan
#

then 1/2+1/2=1

orchid perch
#

hmmmm

wide tartan
#

but i could also do this for any operation i want

#

i can make a superset with two new elements x and y, and extend the operation to make x*y in the set

orchid perch
#

this is kind of unrelated, but this is the original problem:

#

i cant just assume L_x and L_z exist that recognize x and z

#

even though regular languages are closed under concatenation

and same with z?

and/or what level of education

Do you want to be a professional mathematician? Or just study that topic? Note that many topics in logic and foundations are pursued under computer science instead as well. This is also not really the right channel for this qn.

fallen verge

why do you want to specialize in logic and foundations?

marsh rapids

#

yeah its par for the course, i was thinking perhaps its to become a prof, but you would still need to be researching something else for your doctors thesis

mortal trellis
marsh rapids
#

Most people aren't math majors

#

most math majors then

#

still the same point

marsh rapids
#

It's literally a mandatory course in our first year in this uni
3rd undergrad logic and foundations

#

Technically just logic

#

First order, 2nd order, monadic stuff, axiomatics, etc

sour shore
#

As in, the working mathetmatician uses naive set theory, unless they specialize in it

marsh rapids
#

But I'm not taking it so I don't know the details

mortal trellis
#

well of course it differs from university to university. I for example never needed to take such a course

sour shore
#

Pretty much if you want to do logic and foundations at the research level you'd probably be better served looking at computer science depts

marsh rapids
#

CS logic be like: so for each first order statement there's a finite automata that recognizes the same language

#

And vice versa

sour shore
#

alpine sable
#

ok

#

just lemme know do you agree with what it said?

sour shore

# sour shore No

so if you don't agree with what it said, **Please tell me in the right arrangement what I should learn to be a Mathematician who is specialised in Logic and Foundations

2-
3-
**

sour shore
#

I cannot.

alpine sable
#

so why do you disagree at least?

alpine sable
marsh rapids
#

Don't trust random people on the internet about how to structure your studies

alpine sable
#

I don't have an advisor

#

so I am trying to gather much knowledge as possible

sour shore
#

In the first place, step 2. is what happens in most math undergrad curricula, so ChatGPT has got the arrangement wrong.

#

Well are you in a position to study math as an undergrad?

marsh rapids
#

Step 2 is really the first thing you should do

alpine sable
#

?

#

chatgpt I mean

marsh rapids
#

wheat isle

wheat isle
#

How can I approach part B?

#

what even is the formula for the law of conservation of energy?

#

When I look it up I’m getting different results so

alpine sable
wheat isle
#

I’m aware.

tardy stag
#

there's kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy to consider here

wheat isle
#

this is my data sheet that I have but I’m not entirely sure what to use

#

like this is a sample answer

#

but where did they get that from??

tardy stag
#

that's your GMm/R formula you were using earlier

wheat isle
#

theres no 1/r1 - 1/r2 thing there tho

tardy stag
#

distribute the GMm

wheat isle
#

(GMm)/r1 - (GMm)/r2 theres two GMm's but on my formula I only have one

#

where does the second one come from

tardy stag
#

what is that formula?

#

it says U

#

what is U

wheat isle
#

its GPE

#

gravitational potential energy

tardy stag
#

okay great

#

now looking at your answer sheet

#

what does the line directly above that 1/R1 - 1/R2 thing say?

wheat isle
#

change in kinetic energy = change in potential

tardy stag
#

correct, so change in potential energy is the final potential energy minus the initial potential energy

wheat isle
#

yeah

tardy stag
#

yes

wheat isle
#

I have the formula as delta U = mg*delta h

#

for change in potential

tardy stag
#

that is valid if g is constant or nearly constant

wheat isle
#

wait

#

theres multiple i think

tardy stag
#

in this case it is not

wheat isle
#

oh okay

tardy stag
#

gravity near the earths surface is effectively constant, but this problem involves rockets

wheat isle
#

and its constantly going in higher altitude right so it changes

bright scarab
#

geomtric mean?

tardy stag
bright scarab
#

oh wait im stupid seems like physics to me

wheat isle
tardy stag
#

yes

#

that is the gravitational potential energy of an object even at high altitudes

wheat isle
#

oh is this where that "extra" GMm/r comes from

tardy stag
#

negative for some reason, not quite sure why

#

yes

wheat isle
#

i see

bright scarab
# wheat isle but where did they get that from??

see bro its just basic subtraction
GMm/R is potential energy for a particular point and gravity is a conservative force
and speaking of conservative force we only need the change in the energy rather than the actual one
1/r1 - 1/r2 signifies a potential difference

yeah

wheat isle
#

our teacher told us awhile ago that the negative is supposed to be there but I cant remember why

tardy stag
#

oh ok I see why

bright scarab
tardy stag
#

you need it to increase as r increases so that makes sense

bright scarab
#

keep in mind that potential energy of a conservative force is always opposite to that of work done

wheat isle
#

so it becomes

#

hpld on

#

$-\frac{GMm}{r_{1}}+\frac{GMm}{r_{2}}$

tardy stag
#

yeah

wheat isle
#

alright

tardy stag
#

they might have 1 and 2 flipped from yours it's fine

wheat isle
#

o right

#

and the r1 r2, are they from points 1 and 2 or are they from the same point

tardy stag
#

they're from points 1 and 2

bright scarab
#

similar to origin

wheat isle
#

hm

#

does it matter the order in which i plug in the points like

#

would point 1 be my r1

#

4.3x10^6 as r1

tardy stag
#

in this case if you flip them you'll just get negative mass

#

but yes you should be consistent where possible

wheat isle
#

wait so how do I know which is the correct order?

bright scarab
#

its not like electrostats where results differ

#

higher the object higher is the potential energy

#

and objects tend to higher potential to lower potential

wheat isle
#

ok i got the answer -8.5x10^23

#

but im guessing i can just disregard the negative because you cant negative mass

#

nice

deep raft

am i supposed to use the product rule in this case:

deep raft
#

when i partiel derive for x

zealous ingot
#

Just expand and differentiate term by term

deep raft
#

so expand to 16x^3+8xy-6x?

zealous ingot
#

Yes

#

And then differentiate wrt x like normal

deep raft

This is the solution to an exercise in relational algebra where we need to get the count of something

uneven canyon
#

But why are we doing a projection operation on count(*)

#

The exercise definition, for context

#

There is no attribute called count(*) to project, so this doesnt make sense to us

#

Should it not just be
count(σsid=3∧achievedpoints>=0.5∗maxpoints(student ◃▹ handsin ◃▹ exercisesheet))

@uneven canyon I'm not an expert in relational algebra, but I've done a thing or two in databases. In SQL dialects SELECT count(*) FROM some_relation; gives you the count of rows. Given that the projection operator seems to work like the argument to SELECT from what I've read, this would indicate that count(*) is acting similarly here to what you would expect from SQL. I'm not sure about the finer points of why count(*) is written the way it is though, and what, technically, is going on behind the scenes here. I hope this helps.
