you need to know polynomial reminder theorem, and understand accurately what is the problem at x = -2
try to calculate the limit at x = -2 and see the problem, then what you have to do will seem clearer
division by zero?
yup, that's the problem
-2 is a root of x²+x-2
what is the little detail about the numerator that could make this problem disappear ?
factor x²+x-2, and try to imagine what you would like to see as a factor in the numerator
i have (x - 1)(x+2) on the denominator
i cant seem to see an x + 2 on the numerator
well, that's because it depends on b, that's the whole point! you accurately pinpointed the problem
you would like to choose b such that you can factor a x+2 on the numerator
the question is, how to find this b
yes, idk how
you want to factor numerator by x+2, ie you want x+2 to divide the numerator
do you know polynomial remainder theorem ?
no
if you have a polynomial P(x) that you divide by (x+2), you get P(x) = (x+2)Q(x) + r, where Q(x) is some polynomial we don't care about right now, and r is the remainder
so when you look at x = -2, you get P(-2) = r
this video may help you understand the theorem better
erm
you want x+2 to divide bx²+15x+b+15
said differently, you want the reminder of bx²+15x+b+15 in the division by x+2 to be 0, right ?
so you know your problem has 2 steps: calculating the remainder, and solving remainder = 0
this polynomial remainder theorem solves the first step
you find the remainder!
: )
b(-2)²+15(-2)+b+15 = 5b-15
and the remainder has to be 0 for x+2 to divide, that's what dividing means
so what is b ?
3
yup
do i subbb?
now you know that b = 3 is the value that make it so you can factor both numerator and denominator by x+2
which will allow you to calculate the limit after simplification
i got -1 after evaluating
num = 3x²+15x+18 = 3(x²+5x+6) = 3(x+2)(x+3)
denom = (x+2)(x-1)
so the quotient is 3(x+3)/(x-1), at x = -2 you get -(-2+3) = -1
that's correct
the answer is no, you can have a limit at a point without being defined at this point
one well known example of this is sin(x)/x which has a limit of 1 at x = 0, despite not being defined at x = 0
thank youu

Idk how to do 27
Idk wat it looks liek
ohh
like

isk
idk
wait that's not how that works
IDK
Yep
(Semicircle)
Umm that is not a circle that is a whole oval
It looks wonky lol
Trust me, it's a semicircle
Let me draw something out on desmos

Could someone please explain why the sign changed on the left-hand side? And in which cases should I change the sign like this
@obsidian mango Has your question been resolved?
which part are you referring to exaclty?
The highlighted part
they factored out -1 from the numerator in the fraction after it
here its so they can get the result of their goal
(also looks more aesthetically pleasing without excessive - signs)
I don't get it
Yes
that's why they factored out the -
so they could get that
$2 + \frac{(-k-3)}{2^{k+1}} = 2 - \frac{k+3}{2^{k+1}}$
ℝαμOmeganato5
Oh I got you
Thank you very much
But is there another way to solve it without factoring out the -
not really no
Okay, thanks,
Have a great day 🫡

can someone show me how to do this? Idk where I went wrong
@scarlet heart show what you did and then we can tell you where you messed up
im on my laptop, idk how to send the picture
but essentially I use the sin(a-b) formula
compared coefficients
solved for r using sqrt(4^2+3^2)
still my answer is wrong my teaccher didn't even show where
what did you get for R
kk maybe theangle, can you pls show me?
I compared coefficients
can u js tell me the right answer

uh ok ill type it ig
i use this
wait a sec
@vale wigeon if u think Im cheating check my msg history lol this is my assignment finished

degree
✅
tanx = -3/4
also you do see that your problem said to round the angle to 2 decimal places, yes?
how did the minus sign make its way in there?
you have not shown your work nor answered my question.
rsinx/rcosx = -3/4
4sinx - 3cosx so -3
??
can you show what your expansion for $R \sin(\theta - \alpha)$ is?
Ann
rsinthetacosalpha - rcosthetasinalpha
ok could be done way better with some brackets
this is ez
but you see that R cos(alpha) should be 4 and R sin(alpha) should be 3, not -3 yes?
yeah plz
i skip
2theta to theta
you are becoming harder to understand
but ok
you have found, correctly, that 4 sin(θ) - 3 cos(θ) = 5 sin(θ - something).
i think i can do
let me confirm my answer
don ttell me
60.5 and 193.3 @vale wigeon
very far off. how did you get these?
well, if you want to consider me a liar, then i guess i'll just go away.
pls do
ok i got everything right nice

with 4(a), why do we multiply the combinations and not add them to get our final result?
like 12C5 x 8C3 and not 12C5 + 8C3
bc you pick 5 men and 3 women
it's the same reason why a two-digit combination lock has 100 and not 20 combinations
but doesn’t ‘and’ imply like P(A) + P(B) or is that not related here
no i think you misunderstand
think of it this way
there are 12C5 ways to pick which of the men go
yes
but for each of those selections you have to make a selection of which of the women go
in one of 8C3 ways
you can think of it with like a tree diagram or something
or like a combination lock again
oh because it’s a multi-stage event right?
like if you have a 4 digit PIN lock you understand why there are not 40 combinations, yes?
yes
if there are m ways to do A and there are n ways to do B and these don't overlap and you have to count the ways to do A or B
is this considered an independent event?
cus i thought u multiply independent events
oh hold on
i sort of get it now
could you provide like an example for what you said?
no. if you want to speak of events at all the word is mutually exclusive
P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B)?
overthinking.
oops that’s not mutually exclusive
you need to choose either a cake or a pie to buy. you have to buy exactly one thing. there are 13 different cakes and 8 different pies at the bakery. how many choices do you have in all?
oooo 21 ways
that makes more sense now
then how would the question be rephrased if you have to multiply the combinations?
you need to buy 1 cake and 1 pie

what are you looking for? Looks like you have selected the answer
no that was the solution actually
have you gotten the equation for that line?
then can you solve y and z in terms of x?
because then, we can just plug those into the plane equation and solve it

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
Also there are 6 questions, which one is it?
I would like to ask If this a One Sample Test of Hypothesis.
I guess 1?
It looks like two populations and not one.
Like this?
One Sample t-Test doesn't exactly apply to two populations?
Hm
This example is one population.
Possibly!
Also you should look for one more thing.
Which is?
It's called Paired t-Test too, if there's something in common between the population.
With all that said, good luck.
Like this?
Hmm not sure. Doesn't look like it mentions Paired t-Test?
Yes, it does measure on differences so it is possibly that.
Take my answers with a grain of salt though.
How about this?
It is fine. I will take it one by one for any incorrect usage :)
The best idea you should try is to try the formulas to see if they fit with the variables.
Okay Thank you!

paired t-test is only applicable when you can make 1:1 pairs between two groups, e.g. when the two groups are the same people but at different points of time

Could anyone tell where did I do my mistake as the answer is π/9,5π/9 and 7π/9
<@&286206848099549185>
why + and -
2pie - theta
Well you forgot the mod 2pi
And when you divide by 3
Became mod 2pi/3
So pi/9 + 2pi/3
Became 7pi/9
sry what does mod mean
Modular
ooh
This kind
is this like a rule for this specific math
Cos(x) = cos(a)
=> x = +-a mod 2pi
as i just stared trig
A must know with trig
Your circle is 2pi periodic
ohh
13pi/2 describe the same point than pi/2
For example
Also
When you multiple or divide
It affect the mod
3x = 3 [9]
x = 1[3]
i really dont gett u as i just started like basic pure math trig
could u use simpler terms 🤡
yes
Ok you see the unit circle ?
If you do a whole turn on it
Starting from one point
You will end up at the same point
Right?
what is a unit circle
The circle you use to know the values of cos and sin
Already seen it before ?
Well as long you see it as circle its good
So
You start from one point and you do a whole turn on the circle you will end up at the same point right ?
yes
And what is a full turn in terms of rad angle
umm idk
What do you do if you turn on yourself to trickshot someone in a videogame ?
What is it call
Ok
hello
Its called a 360
ohh
But its in °
2pie
Yessir
So a full turn in trig speaking is 2pi
So
Now we know this imma introduce you to modular
okey
This is JUST a notation to type +2kpi with k integers
But we lazy
So we use mod
So
ohh
If you have lets say 5pi/2 = ... mod 2pi it is ?
When you have something like this
You want to know how much there is 2pi in 5pi/2
So here
5pi/2 = 4pi/2 + pi/2 = 2pi + pi/2
umm i dont get u like what are u supposed to when u inverse cosine something in radian
Wdym ?
in my math i did in the pic
When you want to get the cos or sin out what you did is correct except that you forgot to put mod 2pi
This mod 2pi is important cuz as we seen earlier it makes you have all the possible solutions
So you have something like 3x = +-pi/3 mod 2pi
Which is litterally
3x = +-pi/3 + 2kpi
And so
If you divide by 3
You have x = +-pi/3 + 2kpi/3
And now you need to get all the values that are in [0,pi[ by changing values of k
so we use this mod2pie to get all the possible values of cosin
All possible angles yeah
what are the constant supposed to be
The amount of whole turn you do
You don't need to know the amount, you replace k by integers value and if the result is in 0 pi you add it to solution set
No
u mean 1/3
the integer value
1/3 isn't an integer
w8 sry
yes
You also divide the thing in the mod
So it will be mod 2pi/3
I don't like the use of arccos here tbh
It make you forget one solution !
why dont i have do it to find basic acute angle
Cua you can't have the 5pi/9 else
did u just multiply 2pie with the mod
could u again tell me how to get the other solution
like do i multiply the first solution with mod
yes
You divide by 3
yes
Giving you theta = +- pi/9 [2pi/3]
Lets do the positive case first
So we have that for k = 0
Pi/9 is in 0,pi so its a sol
For k = 1
We have pi/9 + 2pi/3 = pi/9 + 6pi/9 = 7pi/9
Which is also in 0,pi
So its a sol
For k = 2 it won't be the case
So we stop here for the positive case
Lets do the negative
Theta = -pi/9 + 2kpi/3
k = 1 makes you have -pi/9 + 2pi/3 = -pi/9 + 6pi/9 = 5pi/9
Which is in 0,pi
So its a sol
For k = 2 it won't be the case
So we stop here
And we have all our three solutions
what u mean by 0 , pi
umm not getting it
How
is k 1,2and 3
k is an arbitrary integer value
That you choose in order to make theta in the set of values that theta can have
?
Yeah you can replace k by 2 and see that it will be greater than pi
And so its useless to continue further
Theta will always be taller than pi for k >= 2
Yeah
why did u give +and-
is it like a rule
And do the same work with it
Its just that for explain
Its better to have +- so that i can make things clearer between which case i do
Positive vs negative
The [2pi] are missing for the two first line else thats good
why
[2pi] or + 2kpi, with k in Z
Just writing convention
ohh
You're welcome

Idk how to do it at all
What do you know about probability?
Umm I can do like those marble problems
anddd
mean median and mode
and like quartiles
And number summaries
lets hope this person heard of binomial distributions otherwise this will be a long one
the probability of k successes in n trials is given by (n choose k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where p is the probability of success
think of being a homeowner as a success and the number selected as the number of trials

No I mean like dont they have a formula sheet?
@waxen turtle Has your question been resolved?
Idk
Is anybody free to help?
I need to know
If my constraint of 2x(5) + 2y(5) = 700 makes sense
10x + 10y = 700
y = 70 - x
A = xy
A = x(70 - x)
A = 70x - x^2
A'(x) = 70 - 2x
70 - 2x = 0
x = 35
But when I plug 35 back into this
I get 1225
Which it says is wrong

how did you get that?
you should be using the numbers 2, 1, 5 before you simplify
(that isn't OP
)
CATTBITTTTT
@waxen turtle Has your question been resolved?
dam.
To answer your question, I was not using the formula correctly
I was taking the 2x + 2y equation, and simply multiplying this by the cost of the respective sides
It should've acc just been (5x + 4y + y = 700) which equals (5x + 5y = 700)
I believe my answer was x = 70
And I forgot what y was
yep that's correct now
y is the height and x is the length of the field
Yes
He explained it above
So you have a set amount of trials which is 35 your probability of success (i,e home owners is .60) and your failure is 1-.60
Do I like plug stuff in
im in bed but I'll try it in a bit Fr
3 hours?!
im still in bed
wat is n choose k
in this case it's the number of ways to arrange k successes in n trials
like if you have 3 trials and one success you don't care whether your order of events is SFF, FSF, or FFS, so you multiply the probability by (3 choose 1)=3
the formula to compute (n choose k) is n!/(k!(n-k)!)

@waxen turtle Has your question been resolved?
the answers to your question are parts of this sum as other helper have noted but for that to make sense you need to learn basic probability theory and from what I’m reading what is n choose k (the binomial coefficients).
$\sum_{k=0}^n \binom {n}{k} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$
pola_touche
Honestly its literally just plug and chug
The formula explains itself
n trials, k successes and the probability of success p
They defined in the problem that p = 0.6
n = 35
k is either 22 or the other numbers
You need to find
<@&268886789983436800> can somebody close this channel its been open for really long

Its hurting me the dude has been in bed for 24 hours
And hadn’t attempted his problem or let us know of any progress
just don't open this channel then. if the person hasn't attempted it then that's on that person for not learning it. only hurts him

can someone tell me why for question 1, the answer is -2sqrt3/3 < x < 2sqrt3/3?
i know it’s rationalised but why is x in between those two values
Actually u made a slight mistake while putting f'(x) = 0
what u did-
3x²-4=0
x²= 4/3
x=2/√3
Actual solution-
3x²-4=0
x²= 4/3
x=±2/√3
Reason-
For eg. x²=4
We have two solutions x=2 and x=-2. U forgot to consider the negative solution
ohhhh

to solve the problem using method of undetermined coefficients i get that u have to like guess what the form on the left would be like (At+B) but how do you know like what ur guessing is correct ?
you work out the roots of the characteristic equation as well as what characteristic values each term on the RHS would correspond to
the roots for this would be just 3,-1
and then i wrote it in the homogeneous solution
using the roots
and then i didnt know what to do with the right side for this like how to form a guess for the particular solution
u can use variation of parameters method
right so the RHS corersponds to -1
so there is resonance
so you will need $(At^2 + Bt)e^{-t}$
Ann
yeah im just confused on how to work out this step logically
like everything else i understand but that
how did u know that it would be that that i need if my question makes sense
specific problem asks for method of undetermined coefficients
ok right basically
terms of the form $P_k(t) e^{at} \cos(bt)$ or $P_k(t) e^{at} \sin(bt)$ correspond to the characteristic value $\lambda = a+bi$
Ann
where P_k is an arbitrary polynomial of degree k
the key is the multiplicity of λ as a root of the char eq
if λ is a root of multiplicity s, then your guess needs to be of the same form but contain a polynomial of degree k+s
(and both a sine and cosine term if b ≠ 0)
hm okok
what is (a+b)whole cube

Hi everyone!
I'm preparing for the entrance exam at the University of Bucharest, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science (Unibuc FMI). This is a problem from the 2023 admission exam, and I'm stuck on part (d).
Here’s the problem statement in English:
University of Bucharest
Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science
Entrance Exam – July 2023
I. Algebra
Let the matrix
A = ( 4 2
-3 -1 )
be in M₂(R), and define the set
T = { xI₂ + yA | x, y ∈ Z },
where I₂ is the 2×2 identity matrix.
(a)
Prove the equality:
A² = 3A - 2I₂.
Determine the real number α such that:
(I₂ - A)² = α (I₂ - A).
(b)
Prove that the matrix
( 2 2
-3 -3 )
belongs to T, then check whether
( 4 4
-6 -3 )
is in T.
(c)
Show that for any natural number n ≥ 1, there exists a natural number xₙ such that:
Aⁿ = xₙ A + (1 - xₙ)I₂.
(d)
Verify whether the set { I₂ - A, -I₂ + A } forms a group under matrix multiplication.
Then, determine all two-element subsets of T that form groups under matrix multiplication.
christ almighty! that text paste!
ok
so you want to check whether or not {I - A, I + A} forms a group under matrix multiplication
yes? is that what you're looking for?
Yes
ok do you know what a group is
yes
ok can you tell me what properties a group must satisfy
a moment
To be associative, to have a neutral element, and to have an invertible element.
I
identity matrix
right?
I have (more or less) proven that it is a group, but I have a problem with the next part:
Then, determine all two-element subsets of T that form groups under matrix multiplication.
I have (more or less) proven that it is a group,
you have?
how can you have proven that {I-A, I+A} is a group when the identity matrix I doesn't belong to this set???
Whait, I worked on this problem some time ago.
aaaaaaa
English is not my first language; I use a translator.
whatever translation software you're using, it completely destroys all the math notation you feed into it
making it absolutely unreadable
I defined
x= I2 − A
and
y = −I2 + A
then I computed
x⋅x, y⋅y, x⋅y, y⋅x, and
From this, I found that the neutral element is
𝑦.
Ik
so you found that y^2 = y and xy = yx = x...?
yes
hm
ok, looks like it is a group, despite neither matrix being the identity...
wait, what did you get for x^2?
I have proven that it is a closed set under multiplication, that it is associative, and that it has a neutral element, but proving the existence of an invertible element... that's where I'm stuck.
i don't see your calculation for x*x
so you got xx = y
yea
and y is the neutral
yes
therefore, within this group, x is its own inverse
ooooo
I see
Now, I have a problem with the next part:
Then, determine all two-element subsets of T that form groups under matrix multiplication.
ok that one looks quite difficult without some brute force sorry
I think we need to use this from the previous subpoint
A^n = x_n * A + (1 - x_n) * I_2
or
where α = -1

Find the real number alpha ∈ R such that
(I_2 - A)^2 = alpha · (I_2 - A).
(b) Prove that
( 2 2 )
( -3 -3 )

how do i tell based of this data
how many people watched a serie in the past month for
less than 2 times
2-10 times
and more than 10 times
I dont understand at all
So the box and whisker plot will tell you the quartiles
Yes
So 25% watch less than 2 times
how do you know that
Because the whisker extends from 0 to 2
and the whisker represents 25% of the population
Hmm
Wait
This
Part, is it that part your talking about
yes
bbiab
This is how I have understood it
Less than 2 times then we are talking about 0-2 right? but theres nothing there not a box nothing. Thats where my brain goes blank @twin nimbus
Isn't the green box represents how many peoples actually watched the film between 2 to 10 times which is 40% total!!
With ur method I can see that you split it up too 4 parts where all is 25% even though they arent as big as each other
No shes correct its 50%, 25%, 25%
Thats what it says on the answer sheet
But I dont know how to interpret it,
Cause the parts are not as big as each other
@lilac stag oh I see my bad
All good
hi I'm back
so the green box is a total of 50% of people
you have the 25th to 75th percentile in the box
0 to 25 in the whisker under the box
75 to 100 in the whisker above it
@lilac stag
nice!
yup
thats the part I get now
And the one from 0-2 that looks obv like 25%
the only thing left is more than 10 and that looks so weird but the only reasoning we have there is
100-75=25?
yes
But the data isn't balanced, instead think about it this way. Let's say we have 100 people
let's say 15 people watched 0 movies, and 10 watched 1 movie.
13 watched 2 movies, 12 watched 3 movies,
mhm
but im just scared, now that i learned this that an even more unbalanced box or whatever its called pops up
10 watched 4 movies, 4 watched 5, 5 watched 6, 2 watched 7, 2 watched 8, and 2 watched 9
when the box is large, that means the values are less clustered.
the same amount of people are stretched thinner.
ok ty

Hi
could someone explain to me how the y-intercept was calculated? this is a graph representing f(x) = 3x-5/x-5. in part c, i had to show that f(x) is an inverse function. however, in this task, i had to graph this function and draw all asymptotes/intercepts.
from my calculations, the y-intercept is (0,1) but it's (0,5/3)
$f(x) = \frac{3x-5}{x-5}$
is that your function
riemann
yes!
i mean my x-intercept is (5/3,0) and my y-intercept is (0,1) but the markscheme says that the y-intercept is supposed to be (0,5/3)
can't tell unless you show the function
point d, so i calculated that it is an inverse function. i set y to 0 to calculate the x-intercept, which is (5/3, 0) and it's correct. after that, i set x to 0 to calculate the y-intercept, which gave me (0,1), which is wrong

Whats 0!
1
1
Would it not be 0 becae 0×0 is 0
Instead, think of it as the number of ways you can reorder 0 objects
you can only arrange 0 objects in one way
the definition of factorial is tricky to apply to zero objects
i like to think of it as "the product of nothing is 1"
just as the sum of nothing is 0
Oooh, that's good
👍

@blazing widget Has your question been resolved?
I can help
149-95t
170-110t
2 expressions
We can then plug in
Values
For example 1, chimiake is faster, 2 chimiake is faster
<@&268886789983436800>
they ded
Ok
Yo
Is the work above correct
Nvm
Oh I did it wrong
149-95t 170-110t
We can say
That oringinal Ly
149-95t is greater than 170-110t
how did you simplify it
Divide 21 by 15
yes
It’s a fraction
is that all the steps
1.4 hours
this would be fantastic
yes
Ok
We get the expression 170-110t is less than 149-95t
So we can fight at what value can t be less than
170-110t can eventually be greater
But we need to find out what t can the greatest of t can be
My grammar
how
So after doing that
how can t eventually be greater
Oh so after 1.4
Like 1.5
Plug it in
170-110(1.5’
149-95(1.5’
As u can see
Don’t
Later u will need to do complex distance
ill be paitient
thank you
what in the beginning equation gave you greater than sign
like what word
or phrasing
@alpine sable
?
Oh
Hmmm
Well
It’s to tell us like
What the greatest value of t would be if chimiake was closer than valente
Then after
Yea
Oh
It’s because
We wanna find
When
When valente is closer than chimiake to the university
And then we can say
When valente is closer it means the distance is less
And chimiake is tester
Greater
So we say
I’m getting confused now lol
Bro
Bro
Ah hell nah
U can get banned for that
It’s very hard to explain to a 5th grader
😭
Where u even find this
Im trolling
Fr though explain it
You don’t truly know math until you can explain it to a 5th grader
