@willow raft Has your question been resolved?
What do you mean by coordinate map for $\beta$?
bondalton
Think of what $\phi_{\beta}(T_A(v))$ should be for some $v=\sum_{i=1}^n a_ie_i$
bondalton
I don't get that
Like I tried
left and right inverse
but then get stuck at TA(v)
oh wait
I'm dumb
ohhhh

Help please.
What part are you stuck at
Starting the problem
Like do you know what the big O, omega and theta means
Or how to solve a recurrence relation
Sorta... I know you have to "unroll" it but even that part is confusing.
So yeah you can use telescoping
Based on the recurrence relation T1(n), you can see it relies on the result of T1(n-8)
So you wanna substitute n-8 into T1(n)
In other words find T1(n-8)
What would that be?
T1((n-8)-8)+(n-8)
Exactly
Then?
Now that you know T1(n-8), you can substitute it into the equation for T1(n)
What is T1(n) = to now
T1(n) now is
T1((n-8)-8)+(n-8) + n
Yeah
Now repeat that process
Next you need to find T1(n-8-8) in other words find T1(n-16)
Then sub it into the equation you just found
Once you do it 2 or 3 times you should see a pattern
Ok
T1(n-16) = T1(n-24) + (n-16)
Plug back in
T1(n) = T1(n-24) + (n-16) + (n-8) + n?
T1(n) = T1(n-8k)?
Okay so this one
T1(n) = T1(n-24) + (n-16) + (n-8) + n?
Simplifies to
T1(n-24) + 3n - 24
So pattern would be
T1(n-8k) + kn - 8k?
I'm not sure. I'm not good with this series stuff
Yeah
So expanding, you should get a +8 term on the end
Ok
also, does it not tell you anywhere what the base cases of the two recurrence relations are?
Nope
Just that
Then you can’t really solve the recurrence relation
A recurrence relation must have a base case
Because the next step involves setting what’s in the brackets (n-8k) equal to the base case
Could try just assuming it’s 0 or 1 but I’m not sure if it would be correct
Okay so the teacher assistant said, "the amount of work done in the base case is always constant"
Ok great
Also, it is due in 20 minutes
Is it homework
Yeah
Procrastination
Ok
n=8k
I mean in the generalised form for T1(n) you came up with before
This one?
T1(n-8k) + kn - 8k?
Yeah and don’t forget the -8 at the end I said about
T1(n-8k) + kn - 8(k-1)?
T1(n-n) + n^2/8 - n(n-8)/8
Ok and we can get rid of T1(n-n)
So the highest order in that polynomial is n^2
Therefore it’s O(n^2)
Now you need to solve the next recurrence in the same way and see how it compares to this one
Alright
And what do these choices mean?
First one: Growth rate of T1 is not asymptotically equal to growth rate of T2?
Possible if you could check ?
Thanks tho

how do i do question b?
Plug the values you know, you‘ll get a system of equations for a and b
Alright, that‘s your system
Looks like it
so then for a i js plug in
Yeah
1 = a + 4
can you check #help-23 after
All seems fine
wait so then how do i find f(x) = 0?
What‘s f(x) now that you found a and b?
Right. So now you can set this = 0 and solve for x
Gotta be careful when you don‘t put parentheses, this is essentially (1/2) * x = 3
So what would x actually be?
x = 1/6?
Almost. Do you have your work on paper so I can see where you made the mistake?
Hm. I think you‘re misunderstanding how the multiplication by 1/2 works. It‘s essentially like dividing by 2. so you could write x/2 = 3
You could divide by 1/2 sure, but you have to be careful and flip it yeah. So if you divide by 1/2 on both sides it‘s like multiplying by 2
How did you pick up the negative sign?

can anyone help me with the last part, i used trigonometry to find the modulus of the new roots (acos(pi/5)) and know the angle will be of the form theta = (pi + 2pi(k))/5 but not sure on how to get the equation
(a) they all have the same absolute value
@hollow lark Has your question been resolved?
I think i understand why it looks at r
because r is only on the real axis by symmetry so r = -acos(pi/5)
then r^5 = z^5 = -(acos(pi/5))^2
so z^5 + (acos(pi/5))^5 = 0
cool i wouldn’t have spotted that

wait there’s a lot of typos hold on
it's just a notation, we note $V = W_1 \oplus W_2 \oplus \dots \oplus W_k$ (at least that's how we note it in France)
Valsorim
and for each vector $v \in V$ there is a unique set of vectors $w_i \in W_i$ such that $v = w_1 + w_2 + \dots + w_k$
Valsorim
Are the conditions in 2 and the note the same besides notation?
we use oplus after we finish this definition of direction sum
oh ok
to be honest I don't understand why the note says that, in my course it says that "F and G are in direct sum iff $F \cap G = { 0 }$"
Valsorim
maybe the "not" is a mistake and shouldn't be here ?
we even have a proof of why that is true
the "not" is not a mistake
oh ok my bad then
2 is much stronger than what's in the note
for example take 3 distinct lines in R^2 as your W1, W2, W3
their intersection is 0 yes
but obviously you'll be able to write the vectors in say W3 as a lin combo of vectors in W1 and W2
yes
so W1 W2 W3 satisfy what's in the note but not condition 2)
oh ok so we can only replace it by what's in the note if we have 2 vector spaces ?
ohhhhh okay so if we take
(1, 0)
(1, 1)
(0, 1)
Then yes they all intersect at 0, but we may add 1(1, 0) - 1(1, 1) + 1(0, 1) and get zero which isn’t true for 2)
yeah your definition only works for a sum of 2 spaces
ok thank you
thank you
one good way to understand direct sums is as a generalization of bases
basis : "a set of vectors that spans V and is linearly independant"
direct sum : "a set of subspaces of V satisfying 1) and 2)"
- corresponds to spanning
- corresponds to linear independence

(sorry I don't know what the command is for latex)
pls help me i know product rule but cant make it with chain rule how does it change with pi inside cos
use integration by parts
and to integrate cos(pix) set u = pix
,tex $ u = \pi x$
math X meth ✓
is there any chance u write it
,tex $du = \pi dx$
math X meth ✓
$dx = \frac{du}{\pi}$
math X meth ✓
on paper?
@obsidian nymph
if the integration by parts looks unfamiliar, im using the DI or tabular method
you can search DI method on youtube and watch the blackpenredpen video if you want
basically its just integration by parts but easier to look at
ive never seen it on khan academy but let me check
i understood the right part you wrote
but didnt get the left part
why it looks so complicated 😭
its just integration by parts, but written in a different way

how do I find an inverse matrix of A?
A.A^-1 = I
just write it down and place integers in place of A^-1
yeah ok
but idk the method
i just wrote down A and then
1
1
1
1
with the rest being zeros
like multiplied
this one takes a while to solve as usual from matrix problems
i switched the 1st and 2nd row with each other
You gotta do sth like this
do you know how to look for it using gauss-jordan?
you expand that matrix to the right side (make a divisor line) with the same row and columns thats an identity. then you operate your original matrix until it looks like an identity (ALWAYS REMEMBERING TO REPLICATE WHAT YOU OPERATE TO THE OTHER SIDE)
if you do things right and dont miss a step you should have an identity on your left side and the inverse of A on the right
ok so if i got 3 in the bottom-right corner then i divide it by 3?
currently i have
1 0 0 2 | 0 1 0 0
0 1 -1 3 | 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 -3 | -1 1 -1 0
0 0 0 3 | 2 -4 2 1
@bleak vault @unreal wedge
you divide the fourth row by three, yes. remember to apply that divison to the fourth row on the other side too
ok what should i do after
clear it up so you have an identity o the left side
the usual strategy that i suggest is trying to get only a diagonal on your left side, with the rest being zeroes
and then you can start multiplying the rows to get a proper identity
is that what the inverse matrix is?
you can check if it is by multiplying that matrix by your original matrix
if you get an identity back, it is
i reccomend doing that always
you mean I should get
1
1
1
1
with the rest being zeros?
yes thats a matrix identity
cause you can clearly see that
0 1 -1 3
multiplied by
0 1 0 0
will give
0 1 0 0
and not
1 0 0 0
so i fucked up?
if you do the multiplication process between the first row of your original matrix and the first column of your inverse and you dont get back 1 then yes, something along the process is wrong
remember that the process is
a b c d e
f = a * e + b * f + c * g + d * h
g
h
i'm afraid its a little too messy for me to understand hahah
besides its good practice for you to redo and recheck yourself. these are all the tools that you need, the process is just a little laborious
just little more than sum, substract, multiply and divide with row operations. just keep at it i'm sure you'll get it

How do i find the limit of the sequence "An = 1 + 10^n / 9 ^n
the 10^n/9^n is a geometric term, but its not convergent
what does that mean
means the limit isnt going to go to any finite value
(10/9) is greater than 1, so (10/9)^n will tend to infinity
okay so then its infinity + 1 which is just infinity which means its divergent?
it is divergent, yes

i dont get it
my friends think the question itself is wrong
cuz standard deviation equals 6.35 not margin of error
The sample mean is the point estimate of the population parameter, and it’s always in the middle of
the CI. Thus, the sample mean in this case is (34.5 + 47.2)/2 = 40.85 years
The margin of error is half of the interval, that is (47.2 – 34.5)/2 = 6.35 years

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody would be available to help me with an optimization/gradient descent thing I'm struggling to understand in some sections of the provided training exercises of the math course I'm taking this semester
I don't expect you to be fluent in Norwegian, but as I understand it the problem is as such
u(t) is the function describing the temperature variation between the average monthly temperatures of a year cycle reported by a weather station, the cycle repeating every 12 months and seeing an average of -6 with a variation of +- 10 degrees around said average
the overall data showing this graph
From what I understand so far about optimization using gradient descent, the method is used to estimate the position of a minimum assumed to be global in the studied area of a function
Step size is determined by the value of gamma, here 0.00001.
using a simplified example, here I can see the method being applied to this interval
- N is the Y is the top/starting y value at which the gradient descent begins.
- gamma is the step size, here 0.3.
- x is the starting x value of the gradient descent, here 4
- f values describes the entire curve's y values
- x values describes the entire curve's x values
<@&286206848099549185> To summarize, my main hangup seems to be how do I apply the simple example of optimization through gradient descent to the much more complicated dataset I have following the function I've been given
I think we're missing that you have data (y_i,t_i) yes? And the parameter you're optimizing over is t*, right? Then it's the same thing as your example. You just need to pick a starting value t0, say and calc the gradient of U(t) at that value (do calculus), move in that direction prop to learning rate gamma and recompute.
yes I have a big excel file with temperatures and months
so there you'd say I need to replace f(t) with u(t), then derive it and apply gradient descent?
really the t_i are fixed. So you need to figure out the gradient of U as a function of t*.
but yeah that's the idea. f(t) here is your u(t_fixed, t*).
u being the temperature of a given month t right
because f(t.star) is really the sum_i (U(t_i, t.star-y_i)^2...
y_i is observed* temp, t_i is month. u(t_i,t*) is the model's guess about the temp in that month.
Hmmm, I think this may help me get unstuck but I'll keep the help channel open just in case I get stuck applying this then I guess
Yeah I'm not giving you the whole answer. That should be enough for you do to the rest. There's some non-neglible getting the gradient. But you could probably python it...
@charred pier Has your question been resolved?
@charred pier Has your question been resolved?
Am I right in assessing that the U(starting_time) function ends up being
-6 + 10 cos((pi/6)*(starting_time - U(starting_time))
or not?
yeah no I'm still slumped my bad
Objective is Sum_i ( -6+10cos(pi/6 * (t_i - start)) -y_i)^2 at start
Last line here is f(t*) without the min
Yes
So derivative is lik sum_i -2 (u(t_i)-y_i)*du/dt
So wait what would the derivative of my optimisation function give me?
The gradient. it tells you how fast and what direction to move for next step
See for example newtons method https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/newton-raphson-method/ and cross ref line 13 in python
Wait am I fundamentally misunderstanding the assignment
there's this line: find out the value of f* that makes u(t) fit the data best. Print the result in the console.
am I simply supposed to fiddle with the f* value until I get a graph that fits my original graph
Should be value of t* but yeah that’s the idea
“Fits” means squared error loss sense
This is just a regression with a non linear functional (u) using a learning rate gamma
I mean yes t*
You could guess and check it sure. But the exercise is to do it by gradient descent.

this is Non-Right Triangles, and I don't get it at all
this is the law of cos
and these are the laws of sin
were you missing the kite area formula?
um this doesn't look right but maybe it will work.
idk what my pq is on the problem.
I think the kite area formula is not what I am looking for
we're splitting an angle of 21 into two equal parts
ok and then I label the two tragles them a through b and A through B right?
because that's all I know what to do...
uhh not sure if i understand
but what we've done is create two triangles that look like this
do you know how to find the area of this guy?
that's not what i'm getting
the formula I used is area= 1/2(ab)sinC
side a is 3.3, and side b is 5.1. And the only degree I got is 10.5
what did I do wrong?
is the foumula not area= 1/2(ab)sinC?
1/2 ab sin C would work
but it seems you did 1/2 bc sin C, which isn't valid
if you wanted to do 1/2 ab sin C you'd have to find side a
ah! they are deferent?
in this image you can see your angle has to be in the corner of the two sides
so C is betwen a and b
or, because you have b and c, you could use angle A
do you see how a and b meet at C here
yeah
but c and b don't meet at C here?
right then I am using area= 1/2(ab)sinC like the pic you sent me.
here's the triangle with sides labeled
I was right
what is the length of side a?
try that
hm
actually let's take a step back and find angle A instead
to do that we need angle B
um...ok
sorry LOL
to find a we need A anyways
Idk how to solve for A sorry...
ah that's right I can use that
I think b is 0.28163672?
hang on
sinb/5.1=sin10.5/3.3
I cross mult
yeah I keep getting 0.28163672?. Is that right?
yep
this is what i'm getting
maybe try to recreate what i got
but now that we have two angles
and we know a triangle adds to 180
we can find A
A is 153.2
yes it is
180=10.5+16.3+x
yeas
then you're almost done👍
that's it yeah
good job
now if we go back to our original question we have 2 equal triangles
is it 14.3954566 all togather?
should just be 3.79*2 = 7.58
umm i'm not sure how you're supposed to round
Round to using measurement rules. it said
i would say 7.6 because the given numbers are also 2 digits
ok I will answer that.
hey! it's right!
7.6
can you help me once more? Or you gtg now.
umm sure i have time
oh this one is much simpler
huh?
they're all the same
like technically there are also 3 area* formulas
but in reality these all just take in two sides and an angle the same way
so I can use c^2=a^2+b^2-2(ab)cosC
yeah
got it 3.30
👍

why does looking for asymptotes in tan
is start ( ) - -pi/2
end: ( ) - pi/2
while cot is only
start = ( ) = 0
end = ( ) = pi
rephrase the question?
its for graphing tan and cot
see here
solutions for asymptotes
x- pi/2 = 0 and x - pi/2 = 2pi
but if the given was tan
it would be x = -pi/2
and x = pi/2
but whats the question....
its for the start and end of the first 2 grey broken vertical lines you see here
for tangent
tan(x) has asymptotes whenever cos(x) = 0, since tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x). This happens when x = -pi/2, pi/2, 3pi/2, ...
cot(x) has asymptotes whenever sin(x) = 0, since cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x). This happens when x = -pi, 0, pi ...
perfect

can someone help me rank the moments of inertia for the 4 objects
they all have the same area
what's the axis
the dots are the pivots
are the triangles equilateral
The drawings kinda aren't helpful
i dont think they are triangles either way they didnt give it
Then whoever gave you the problem isn't helpful
The moment of inertia appraoches its minimum value as the axis approaches the center of mass
I'll say that; it'll be helpful on a better diagram
what would u need to know to solve the problem
oh it said the horizontal lengths are the same
for all of them
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.

Okay, I don't know how to type it properly, but imagine the last column is a column of 1's (except the very bottom right entry is a 0) and the same with the last row, it is all 1's except the very bottom right entry is 0.
How can I prove a matrix of this type is diagonalizable no matter its size?
so every entry is 1 except on the diagonal which is 0?
No
The matrix looks like A_G with those diagonal blocks where every entry is 1 except on the diagonal which is 0
yeah i mean the A_i's
except it also has a row all 1's at the bottom
and a column of all 1's on the right
but the very bottom corner entry is still 0
yes to this then
And you need to show that A_G with those defined A_i is diagonalizable?
if A and B are diagonalisable then
A 0
0 B is diagonalisable
It isn’t block diagonal matrix tho
That’s my issue
The end column and row are 1s
Except a 0 on the diagonal
in A_G?
Yes
Isn't A_G symmetric anyways?
What about the 0 matrix?
It is already diagonal?

hi, how would i go about solving this? the square root and +1 is throwing me off
probably need a trig substitution
I doubt that would do anything to help, integrals like that just don't have nice solutions. The antiderivatives will end up using error functions/hypergeometric functions.
@gleaming ivy Has your question been resolved?
you would need to numerically calculate
@livid urchin @wet glen @sour verge this is the whole question, i thought the first step was finding the integral but maybe im going about this incorrectly?
Ah
ohh thats way easier
is it? yeah my approach was probably wrong
n=5 means we will split the interval we integrate over i.e. [0,1] into 5 intervals.
so like .2 .4 .6 .8?
Yeah like [0, .2], [.2, .4] ...
Now we consider those as rectangles, and their height is given by the value in the middle of the interval.
So for instance, the first rectangle has width .2 (they all do), and then the height will be f(0.1).\
f is the integrand here
So, for a given rectangle, we get its area by multiplying f(middle point) * 0.2
And add all of them up.
Can you write that in sigma sum notation?
do i have the idea down?
sigma notation is still new to me so im tryna figure out how to write something in it myself

How would you test for convergence or divergence. Alternating and ratio test won't work?
do the terms go to zero?
Wdym?
nth term test
Nth term for the terms goes to 3/2
so it diverges?
Oh isn't it different for alternating series?
no
you can effectively ignore the alternating part
(-1)^n
well think about it like this
is 1-1+1-1+1... convergent
a series which can be represented by 1 * (-1)^n
nth term test gives us the limit = 1 ignoring the alternating part
so it diverges
and it should be obvious that that series doesnt converge to anything just by looking at it
if the limit ≠ 0 then the series diverges even if it is alternating
Ok thank you for the explanation
It’s pretty simple to prove too if you know all the definitions
