i cant make it more obvious

#

if you put x=p

kind trellis
#

look at this (x^2 - p^2) + (x - p) = 0

vale wigeon
#

the equation will become true

#

literally just this

kind trellis
#

when is the entire thing true

vale wigeon
#

its impossible to overstate how simple this is

delicate prawn
#

Yeah!

vale wigeon
#

ok right

#

x^2 + x - p(p+1) = 0

lunar saddle
vale wigeon
#

you can use vieta (either one of the two) to find the other root

#

but like this one small thing

#

highkey surprised you managed to miss it

kind trellis
#

x(x + 1) - p(p + 1) = 0

#

also makes it clearer

ancient temple
#

why did you not use quadratic formula?

#

its the method to solve quadratic equations

delicate prawn
ancient temple
#

okay then, i guess not

#

i dont get the 1 billion negatively connotated reacts

vale wigeon
#

QF is a nuke

#

not worth even a quarter of the effort you'd need to put into it

#

esp. when one of the roots is so spottable

lone anvil

#

Can we start from beginning @vale wigeon

vale wigeon
#

ok sure

ancient temple
delicate prawn
#

What question is asking

vale wigeon
#

it's asking you to solve the quadratic

#

and i am telling you the beginning is that x=p is a root that can (and should) be eyeballed

delicate prawn
#

I will ask regarding to the question and answer it

lone anvil
ancient temple
delicate prawn
#

x = p

#

Is that written?

delicate prawn
#

@vale wigeon

vale wigeon
#

idk what you mean by "is that written"

delicate prawn
vale wigeon
#

no, it's not written directly in that question

#

but im telling you that if you think about the equation itself and don't try to do overcomplicated nonsense

#

you can see it

delicate prawn
#

Oh yes finally

#

Only variables are different

#

But meaning is same

#

@vale wigeon

#

Please someone help me on this one, I cant do it however hard I try

hallow vessel
#

hm

#

do u know what those transformations mean

#

rotation, translation

proper marsh
hallow vessel
#

well

proper marsh
#

and i only got like 30 mins to do it

hallow vessel
#

a rotation is to make it spin

proper marsh
#

Ahh yea.

winter light
hallow vessel
#

translation is to keep its orientation the same and move it

#

what do u think a->b is

proper marsh
proper marsh
raw edge
#

Can anybody help me find the skewness of these two box plots?

proper marsh
hallow vessel
raw edge
#

How?

hallow vessel
#

take a guess

proper marsh
#

(2,0)?

hallow vessel
hallow vessel
proper marsh
#

OHH 90

hallow vessel
#

yep

proper marsh
#

90 the first bit?

hallow vessel
#

exactly

#

yes

#

90 anticlockwise

#

and around what point?

proper marsh
hallow vessel
#

where is the point of rotation

proper marsh
#

Uhh.

#

-3,2

hallow vessel
#

what point is it rotating around

#

perfect :)

proper marsh
#

YEAAS

#

S

#

S

#

I have no clue ab the last two tho btw

hallow vessel
#

how do u go from b -> c

proper marsh
#

tbh

hallow vessel
#

thoink of how to line up b to turn it into c

proper marsh
#

5 down

#

1 right

proper marsh
hallow vessel
#

yep sounds good :)

#

and u gotta vectorise that

proper marsh
#

idk how to do that

hallow vessel
#

honestly im not 100% sure (which is embarrassing)

#

but

#

in the vector

#

the top value is x, bottom is y

proper marsh
#

Ohh

hallow vessel
#

so what is the x value movement

proper marsh
#

cuz even ai cant solve this one

hallow vessel
#

HAHAHA

#

dw bout ai

proper marsh
#

I tried gauth like 100 times none work

hallow vessel
#

whats the x value

proper marsh
#

alr

#

hm

#

I am not too sure

hallow vessel
#

take a stab in the dark

#

is x side or up/down

proper marsh
#

up

hallow vessel
#

uhh

#

im not sure about that

#

which is the x axis

proper marsh
#

the side one

#

horizonal

hallow vessel
#

yep

#

so

#

x movement is?

#

which way

#

and what is the number translation for x here?

#

how much does it move

proper marsh
#

Hmmm.

#

Idk waht the translation would be

#

and its right tho

hallow vessel
#

the translation is to the right?

#

u said in simple terms how it moves already

#

describe how much it moves, the b, to get to c

#

@proper marsh

#

u got this smelly!

proper marsh
#

HMMM

#

tryna use my brainpower

#

😭

hallow vessel
#

u said it before xd

#

tell me in a simple way

#

how to make b line up with c

proper marsh
#

WAIT IS IT

#

-2,-4

hallow vessel
#

not quite unfortunately

proper marsh
#

5 down 1 across

hallow vessel
#

oop

#

thats good

#

but

#

we cant use words

proper marsh
#

5,1)

hallow vessel
#

we need to use a vector

#

so, the x value has to go first, then y

proper marsh
#

(5,1)?

hallow vessel
#

which is x, which is y

#

and are they positive or negatives

proper marsh
#

postives

#

and x is 5 and y is 1

hallow vessel
#

not quite unfortinately

#

double nope

#

x is which directions

proper marsh
#

BRU I AM HORRIBLE 😭

hallow vessel
#

updown or sides

#

no its oaky

#

okay

proper marsh
#

1 y 5 x

hallow vessel
#

which is x

#

side or updown

#

start there

proper marsh
#

side

hallow vessel
#

so

#

how much does it move to the side

proper marsh
#

1[]

hallow vessel
#

so, whats the x value?

proper marsh
#

1

#

-1

hallow vessel
#

lovely

#

now

proper marsh
#

no 1

hallow vessel
#

okay so

#

which way is negative, which is positive

proper marsh
#

Hmm.

#

x is negative?

hallow vessel
#

uhh

#

no like

#

is moving to the right positive

#

or left positove

proper marsh
#

Postive

#

right

#

down is negatve

hallow vessel
#

yep positive is right and up

#

negative is left and down

#

so is the x value +1 or -1

proper marsh
#

Yeaaa

#

Uh postive

hallow vessel
#

lovely

#

whats the y value

#

and is it + or -

proper marsh
#

Hm

#

negative

#

since its down

hallow vessel
#

and the number?>

proper marsh
#

Uhh

#

5

#

05

#

-5

hallow vessel
#

okay!

#

so the vector is?

#

(x, y)

#

so ur vector is?

proper marsh
#

-5,1

#

1,-5

hallow vessel
#

which one is it

#

gotta pick one

proper marsh
#

bottom

hallow vessel

v(x)=a*k*(1-k^x)/(1-k)

v(x) is the usual formula for velocity in the game.
You can manipulate the engine power from 0 to 1.
Need to make velocity function linear

V(x, f)=int 0 -> x f(t)*a*k^t*dt // velocity. f - power function

I have tried to set the functional V, but I am not sure that this is correct. But then I have no idea what to do.

@gloomy tangle Has your question been resolved?

what

thick lynx
#

v(x) is the velocity, what do you want to do with it?

gloomy tangle

#

Also if we set f(x) as 1/v'(x), then it really becomes linear. But f is not between 0 and 1, how to fix this?

@gloomy tangle Has your question been resolved?

mortal magnet

mortal magnet
#

That’s not the area you need to elaborate in

#

A line can be defined through two points

#

You need to pick two good points for the line

mortal magnet
#

Consider the following

#

You could draw a line through the beginning and end

#

I’m assuming that’s from x=0 to x=1 since you didn’t specify what variable the domain is applying to

mortal magnet
#

What variable is the engine power

gloomy tangle
gloomy tangle
#

f - power function

mortal magnet
#

Are you allowed to use piecewise functions?

gloomy tangle
#

x_v - point where velocity becomes equal to v

mortal magnet
#

x_0 is not a good variable name, that signifies ā€œinitial positionā€ which is incorrect for your case
try x_v instead

To be clear, you are saying that, given a power function f and final velocity v_f, we need V(x, f) to look like a line for x > x_v?

mortal magnet
#

Does the power function f ever decrease as x increases?

#

Wait wrong question mb, is the power function f ever negative?

mortal magnet
#

The small end of the < points towards the smaller number

#

0 < f(x) <= 1

gloomy tangle
#

Fixed

mortal magnet
#

In that case we already know where V has to become a line, which is at x = x_f

mortal magnet
#

so for 0 <= x <= x_v, you want V(x, f) to be a line?

mortal magnet
#

What additionally do you need out of this line?

#

You could just draw a line from (0, V(0, f)) to (x_f, V(x_f, f))

#

This is the only line that can be drawn which I don’t think you like

gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

Suddenly we’re changing only f instead of only V?

#

You’re asking for a function then

gloomy tangle
#

???

mortal magnet
#

What are you allowed to modify in the problem? We just agreed that the power function f cannot be changed by saying ā€œgiven fā€

#

You need to be clear with your problem statement

gloomy tangle
#

No, only the power function can be changed.

gloomy tangle
#

Sorry

mortal magnet
#

Alr

#

We can always modify f to accommodate any x_f of choice we want

#

Sorry I meant x_v
I think x_v can be freely chosen just as v_f is

gloomy tangle
gloomy tangle
hasty falcon
#

can anyone help me with 12.1 probibilty events

mortal magnet
#

Last question, 0 < f(x) <= 1 has to apply for just 0 <= x <= x_v or for any x in general?

mortal magnet
#

That’s good

#

Now what we can do is first consider drawing a line from (0,0) to (x_v, v_f)

#

Then finding the correct f that can do that

#

(This is from that V(0,f) is always 0 and V(x_v, f) = v_f)

#

Now that line would be L(x) = v_f x / x_v

#

It’s possible this line is too steep and it’ll be bigger than 1, but we find that out later

#

So integral from 0 to x of f(t) a k^t dt = v_f x / x_v

#

We can d/dx both sides to get
f(x) a k^x = v_f / x_v

#

then solve for f(x) to get
f(x) = v_f / (x_v a k^x)

#

Since a > 0, k > 0, v_f >= 0, x_v > 0, we have it guaranteed that f cannot be negative

#

Also keep in mind that f can’t be 0 either, since we’re dividing a positive by a positive

#

We last need f(x) <= 1 for 0 <= x <= x_v

#

For this, we can write f(x) as v_f / (a x_v) * (1/k)^x

#

This is the same thing as f(x) but it’s clearer to see that f is exponential

#

Now exponential functions are always increasing or always decreasing
They don’t ever go up and then down as x increases, for example
These are called ā€œmonotonicā€ functions

#

That tells us that, to find the highest value of f, we just need to check f(0) and f(x_v)

#

so that to enforce f(x) <= 1, we only need f(0) <= 1 and f(x_v) <= 1

#

Now
f(0) = v_f / (a x_v) <= 1, so v_f / a <= x_v
f(x_v) = v_f / (a x_v) * (1/k)^(x_v) <= 1, which is harder to solve

#

So then
v_f / a = x_v * k^(x_v)
v_f / a = x_v * e^(x_v ln(k))
v_f ln(k) / a = x_v ln(k) * e^(x_v ln(k))

#

From here, we would need the Lambert W function, which is a special function where W(xe^x) = x

#

we can W both sides

gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

My bad I forgot the <=

#

Putting those back in

#

Oh is k >= 1?

gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

So that tells us 1/k > 1

mortal magnet
#

From f(x_v) <= 1,
v_f / a <= x_v * k^(x_v)
v_f / a <= x_v * e^(x_v ln(k))

Since 0 < k < 1, we know that ln(k) is negative
Multiplying both sides by ln(k),
v_f ln(k) / a >= x_v ln(k) * e^(x_v ln(k))

#

There might be an issue with this now

gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

@gloomy tangle so it turns out this f we found only works for particular v_f

mortal magnet
#

Alr worked it out,
If v_f > a / (e ln(1/k)), then the f we found doesn’t work

#

During then, f(x_v) will always exceed 1 no matter what x_v > 0 we choose

gloomy tangle
gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

from earlier, we wanted V(x, f) to be a line from (0,0) to (x_v, v_f)
a, k, v_f are positive constants with k < 1
The resulting f we got is f(x) = v_f / (a x_v k^x) which can also be written as the growing exponential 1/a * (v_f)/(x_v) * (1/k)^x

However if v_f > a / (e ln(1/k)), then f(x_v) > 1 no matter what value of x_v we choose

mortal magnet
#

Because you are literally dividing f by a number to make it smaller, so V will correspondingly also be smaller

mortal magnet
gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

I want to show you a graph to show you where I’m getting this from but I gotta sign in first

gloomy tangle
mortal magnet
#

The blue line is V and (x_v, v_f)
The black line is the f we found

The red area represents (x_v, v_f)
If the point is inside the area, then 0 < f(x) <= 1 for 0 <= x <= x_v
If the point is outside the area, then f(x_v) > 1 which we don’t want

#

brb, it’s up to you to figure out a workaround

raw jetty

raw jetty
#

say the point X is on (x,y), if a point is 100-ray partitional then that means that the yellow region can be divided into a total of 50 regions

#

let a be number of regions the righter yellow triangle can be divided by,

#

the height of the triangles and the amount of regions it must be divided by are proportional, so we get that x/(1-x)=a/(50-a)

#

rearranging we get x=a/50

#

brb

raw jetty
#

for it to be both 100 and 60 ray partitional you can see a has to be a multiple of 5, which there are 9 of in the square {5,10,...,45}

raw jetty
#

so there is 40 possible x coordinates for the point, doing the same for the y coordinates you also get 40 (its symmetrical)

#

so the total points are 40Ɨ40=1600, but the answer is C? where did i go wrong

u define it to be a right triangle?

it comes from (49-9)^2

silver tinsel
#

Needed some help with 10 i
The period of the graph in the answer key is π/12, but I keep getting π/9?

lone heartBOT
silver tinsel
#

the distance between the points marked by two lines is 18.
So I did 2π/18 to get b, and simplified it to become π/9

tacit arch
#

Did you mark those lines or were they given

silver tinsel
#

Nah, had to mark them

tacit arch
#

Did you also mark the -5, 5, and 10

silver tinsel
#

Nah, those were already there

tacit arch
#

Those axes look wrong for the B value of π/12

#

And so do your lines

#

I don't see how you can find the peak to peak distance from such poorly labeled x axes

#

The only point you can infer is on the curve is (0,0)

silver tinsel
#

Yeah no it is kinda weird

No. 12, I keep getting 15.6s, when it's actually 18.6s. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

#

And a is f(0) which is given

rigid tree
#

that means c-b = f(a-c-a) = f(-c)

jaunty olive
#

???

rigid tree
jaunty olive
#

Didn’t you only ask about the underlined stuff

rigid tree
#

ye

#

the green underlined one

jaunty olive
#

So underlined stuff is f(y) = y + a

rigid tree
#

f(y) = y+a, etc

rigid tree
jaunty olive
#

And you’re asking why must it be a

rigid tree
#

wwhy does it have to be +a?

rigid tree
jaunty olive
rigid tree
#

ok

jaunty olive
#

F(y) = y + k correct

rigid tree
#

yes

jaunty olive
#

Now sub y = 0

rigid tree
#

ok wait

rigid tree
#

wait

#

a = k

#

ohhh

jaunty olive
rigid tree
#

wait that so simple how did i miss it

#

thanks so much @jaunty olive

median oar
#

on today's episode of frosst vs algebra we have...

median oar
#

$\alpha\in\bC$ is algebraic $\iff [\bQ(\alpha):\bQ]$ is finite

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

Def: $\alpha\in \bC$ is algebraic if $\alpha$ is a root of some $p(x)\in\bQ[x]$

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

so, if $\alpha\in\bC$ is algebraic, then let $p(x)\in\bQ[x]$ be a polynomial such that $p(\alpha) \equiv 0$, and that for all other $q(x)\in\bQ[x]$ with $q(\alpha) \equiv 0$, $\partial(p) \leq \partial(q)$, then $\bQ(\alpha) \cong \bQ^{\partial(p)} \implies [\bQ(\alpha) : \bQ] = [\bQ^{\partial(p)}:\bQ] = \partial(p) < \infty$

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

but idk how to do the backwards direction

#

okay im cooking

#

Suppose $[\bQ(\alpha):\bQ] = n$, then ${\alpha^0, \ldots,\alpha^n}$ has $n+1$ elements and can't be $\bQ-$linearly independent. Hence $\exists p(x)\in\bQ[x]$ with $\partial(p)\leq n+1$ where $p(\alpha)\equiv 0$, hence $\alpha$ is algebraic.

median oar
#

okay polynomial time again

lone heartBOT
median oar
#

so im thinking, $F[x]$ is a ring, let $I$ be the ideal generated by $x^3-x-1$, then $F[x]/I$ is a ring

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

okay, now define $\pi:F[x]\to F[x]/I$ where $\pi(p(x)) \mapsto [p(x)]$, we have a theorem that $\pi$ is surjective and $\ker(\pi) = I$.

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

now since $P_2 \subseteq F[x]$, we can restrict $\pi$ to just $P_2$ and ive shown that $\pi|_{P_2}$ is injective

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

median oar
#

so i've tried to turn P_2 into a ring by looking at F[x]/I

#

my worry is that π|_P_2 is not surjective which would mean maybe that there isn't a 1 to 1 correspondence of elements in F[x]/I with P_2

vale wigeon
#

it is surjective

median oar
#

if i can show that π|_P_2 is bijective, then i've turned P_2 into a ring by a ring isomorphism to F[x]/I

#

something about this doesn't make sense because to turn P_2 into a ring, shouldn't i need to define the operations on P_2? or should i be thinking of it as, F[x] is a ring, F[x]/I is a ring, i can induce the ring structure onto P_2 via the homomorphism π?

vale wigeon
#

every element of F[x]/I has a unique representative of degree leq 2 -- the remainder on division by x^3-x-1

median oar
#

i can't really claim π to be a ring isomorphism if P_2 isn't a ring to begin with

vale wigeon
#

i mean yeah you can define operations on P_2 if you want

#

Ć  la direct construction of C

median oar
#

C?

mortal trellis
#

you dont need pi to be a ring homomorphism

#

a bijection is enough

#

you just pull the operations back

median oar
#

ok that's what i thought

#

looks like a similar way with inducing lie brackets

vale wigeon
median oar
#

push them over then do the operation in F[x]/I land then pull them back

vale wigeon
#

\mathbb C i meant

median oar
median oar
# ocean seal **frosst**

also for this, my proof goes like this: Suppose $\pi|{P_2}(p_1) = \pi|{P_2}(p_2)$, then $[p_1] = [p_2] \implies p_1-p_2 \in I \implies p_1-p_2 = r(x)(x^3-x-1)$, but $\partial(p_1-p_2) \leq 2$ and $\partial(r(x)(x^3-x-1)) \geq 3$ for all $r(x)\not\equiv 0$, hence $r(x) \equiv 0$, then $p_1 = p_2$, i.e., $\pi|_{P_2}$ is injective.

ocean sealBOT
#

frosst

mortal trellis
#

\partial for degree
eww

#

but yes checks out

median oar
#

that's the notation they gave us

#

ok good

#

i feel like this is a lot of work for a part a for a 3 part quesiton that's only worth 8 marks

mortal trellis
#

its not

#

its just "identify the set with F[x]/I in the obvious way and you are done"

median oar
#

i suppose i've just chosen to very much write out the obvious way in excrutiating detail

#

okay, now where in my proof have i said that this is unique

mortal trellis
#

nowhere

median oar
#

or is it more like if Z is a ring where this P_2 is ring isomorphic to (with say šœ‘), then i can just do Ļ€ o šœ‘^-1 and that's an isomorphism to F[x]/I

mortal trellis
#

why would you choose Z as a name for a ring

median oar
#

idk just a capital letter

#

R i guess

mortal trellis
#

you just have to realize that the multiplication of two elements in the set is already forced

#

what are x*x^2 and x^2*x^2 in the ring

median oar
#

x+1 and x^2 + x?

mortal trellis
#

check signs

#

and from that the result of an arbitrary multiplication is fixed

median oar
#

i dont really get it

mortal trellis
#

what is (a+bx+cx^2)*(d+ex+fx^2)

median oar
#

no that's part b

median oar
# median oar no that's part b

are you saying that if x^3 = x + 1 then in P_2, p1 * p2 must already obey this expansion, and F[x]/I does obey this by definition, so if R was some other ring where šœ‘ : P_2 -> R, then the induced multiplication from F[x]/I to P_2 to R would be the same?

#

i dont really know what im saying

#

i dont know how it means to show that this construction of P_2 is unique

mortal trellis
#

did you cover some universal property of factor rings or something?

median oar
#

im guessing it's supposed to mean unique up to ring isomorphism, so if there is another construction of P_2, then there exists a ring isomorphism between this new ring and F[x]/I

#

no

#

i dont thing we covered the word factor ring

mortal trellis
#

quotient ring?

median oar
#

oh yeah

#

same thing ok

#

no i've never covered anything that had to do with universal property

mortal trellis
#

hmm not sure what answer they are expecting

#

if not that the product is already forced

median oar
#

does it have to do with this paragraph

mortal trellis
#

yeah

median oar
#

ok let me try to undersand it

#

okay so if you pick an I, then every f : R -> S with I in ker(f) corresponds with a unique g such that g([a]) = f(a)?

mortal trellis
#

basically. I'm actually not sure right now how exactly to use this formalism tho. it was just where my thoughts went

#

on second thought I also see a different problem

#

we dont even actually know that x*x has to be x^2

#

we could in theory just act as if x^2 was some other random symbol, not connected to x

median oar
#

so like a + bx + cy

mortal trellis
#

yes

#

thats of course cursed and not intended

median oar
#

but then how does one ever get x^3

mortal trellis
#

you dont

#

well it was just a cursed thought

median oar
#

when it says P_2 is an abelian group of polynomials over F

mortal trellis
#

lets ignore that

#

under addition

median oar
#

i suppose that means a subset of F[x] where its degree is less than 2, and inherits addition

#

im still not sure how this unique part works

median oar
mortal trellis
#

well I dont know what they want to hear except that (a+bx+cx^2)*(e+dx+fx^2)=ae+adx+afx^2+bex+bdx^2+bfx*x^2+cex^2+cdx^2*x+cfx^2*x^2

#

independent of what the actual * is

#

but the terms x*x^2, x^2*x, x^2*x^2 are fixed

#

so if ° is another multiplication, then x*x^2=x°x^2 and so on

median oar
#

and you mean that any other construction will just be renaming these guys

#

but the coefficeints will have to stay in that way

mortal trellis
#

and from that p1*p2 = p1° p2

#

for all multiplications *, °

median oar
#

so suppose R is a ring such that šœ‘ is a bijection to P_2, then the ° on R induces a multiplication on P_2, but it has to obey the same rules?

mortal trellis
#

well more directly, let * and ° be two multiplications on P_2 such that P_2 is a ring with respect to either. then * = °

median oar
#

huh

#

is that what it means to be constructed uniquely

#

i guess if i can put 2 ring structures on P_2 and they do the same thing to every pair of inputs then they are just a renamed version of the other?

mortal trellis
#

well two rings with the same addition and same multiplication, whats the difference between them

median oar
#

is there an example where this doesn't work

median oar
mortal trellis
#

depends on what you mean by "this"

median oar
#

it just looks like you're replacing 1 symbol with another then say hey look it's fixed

mortal trellis
#

but I'm not

#

x*x^2 = x+1 = x° x^2

#

I'm not just replacing the symbol

#

I am forced to define x*x^2 and x°x^2 that way

median oar
#

why is x+1 = x° x^2 true

mortal trellis
#

x^3=x+1

median oar
#

x*x^2 = x+1 this we defined from F[x]/I right?

mortal trellis
#

we were given that x^3=x+1

#

even without the factor ring

median oar
#

okay so if we are given some way to multiply these x's together, then when i see x something x something x i replace it with x + 1

#

and that's precisely the structure of the ring

mortal trellis
#

the factor ring just tells us "well this will work and we dont get into annoying problems and we dont have to check all the ring axioms"

median oar
#

oh so it's like a short cut

mortal trellis
#

basically

median oar
#

i still kinda fail to see how the 2 multiplications could possibly be different

#

even without the x^3 = x + 1 restriction

mortal trellis
#

but then x*x^2 could be x^2+1 and x°x^2 could be x-17x^2

median oar
#

does it just need a restrictionn?

#

is x^3 = x+1 special

#

if i change it to x^4 = x + 1 does that break

mortal trellis
#

well x^3 is not in P_2

median oar
#

somehow the x^3 looks special because it's the next thing that isn't in P_2

mortal trellis
#

so then what is x*x^2

#

cant be x^3

median oar
#

again could be anything

#

is what you mean

#

if i dont force it

#

so then x^2 * x^2 isn't defined???

mortal trellis
#

I'm not actually sure how well it works out if you are forced into x^2*x^2 = x+1

#

you shouldnt be able to let x*x^2 be anything I suppose

median oar
#

okay so if x*x^2 is forced like in this question

#

doesn't taht still ask what is x^2 * x^2

#

or is it associative because it needs to be a ring

mortal trellis
#

yes its associative

median oar
#

so no problems there

#

but if i lose the x^3 condition and give x^4

#

you run into issues of 2 multiplications could define x*x^2 differently

#

but i feel like the x^2 * x^2 might still force some restriction onto x^3

mortal trellis
#

yes probably

#

not sure

#

havent thought about it

#

not really relevant

median oar
#

okay story for another time then

how do we simplify this?

lone heartBOT
rustic mist
#

does it just say simplify or expand and simplify

coarse crag
#

simplify

mortal trellis
#

this is simplified

lavish cave
#

That's it

coarse crag
#

actually it doesnt say anything im trying to just sole it

lavish cave
#

Solve for what?

coarse crag
#

solve it

mortal trellis
#

you can solve an equation

lavish cave
#

What do you mean by solve

rustic mist
#

like solve for x?

mortal trellis
#

you cant solve a single expression

coarse crag
lavish cave
#

Then you mean simplify

coarse crag
#

yes

lavish cave
south ether
#

There’s no equal sign

#

Also it’s simplified to the max

#

You can’t simplify it more

coarse crag
#

shoudnt it be multipied to the denominator since the denominaotr gets cancled when they both have the same number (for example, 5 times 3/5)

sturdy blade
#

nah just PFD in ā„‚

lavish cave
#

Where do you see the same number here?

mortal trellis
#

do you mean the 2 and x^2 ?

#

or what

coarse crag
#

instead of it getting cancelled, it should be multiplied to the denominator

mortal trellis
#

completely different situation but should have the same principle?

lavish cave
#

Nothing gets cancelled

#

You just multiply 2 to the numerator

#

alr makes sense

#

i personally got D 25 but i ask chatgpt even math solver online they all gave diff answer and it lead me here for help 😭

lone anvil
#

D is correct

crisp summit
#

thanks for much šŸ™

wise junco
#

Hi

#

Im nee here

lone heartBOT
crisp summit
#

what about this how to understand sets in a form of word 😭

lone anvil
#

U need to find intersection of of elements in P

#

with elements in both Q and R

crisp summit
#

2 and 1 ?

#

so is 5 2 and 6 ? since is R' means other than right

lone anvil
#

Wait

#

R’

#

Means R complement?

crisp summit
#

i think yes

lone anvil
#

Okay

#

Only 5 and 2

crisp summit
#

so anwer will be 5 2 6 ?

lone anvil
#

No

#

P does not intersect 6

crisp summit
#

why 6 isnt it

#

oh

lone anvil
#

1 also

#

5 2 1

crisp summit
#

then why is 5 count as intersects

crisp summit
lone anvil
#

R complement is 6 2 5

#

That union with q is

#

6 2 5 1 4

#

Intersection with p is

#

5 2 1

crisp summit
#

okay kinda get it

#

let's just cut away the black bands which are 2.4 times taller than the image

barren oar
#

I've tried to write it as a polynomial and use remainder theorem

vale wigeon
#

write what as a polynomial?

barren oar
#

Here

#

But idk what to do now

vale wigeon
#

right

#

well, can you compare 3^200 against 10^100+3?

barren oar
#

How do I find Q

barren oar
#

So that will become zero

vale wigeon
#

the fraction should be smaller than 1.

barren oar
#

Yeah

#

What about Q tho

#

How do I find the unite digit of that

vale wigeon
#

anyway, consider: $t^{200} = t^{200} - (-3)^{200} + (-3)^{200}$

ocean sealBOT
barren oar
#

Right

vale wigeon
#

do you know how to factorize a^n - b^n

barren oar
#

Oh

#

Yeah yeah

#

Expand you mean

vale wigeon
#

i would not call that "expansion"

lone anvil
#

Or modulo

vale wigeon
#

nice jargon you're throwing around

lone anvil
#

Idk we solve those with binomial at my institute

toxic verge
#

Binomial LMAO

vale wigeon
toxic verge
barren oar
#

Congruence modulo :') I'll have to know first what Q is

#

Anyways

#

What to do

lone anvil
#

but I’m 90% sure

#

U can

vale wigeon
barren oar
#

So I must expand t^100-9^100

#

To get Q

vale wigeon
#

t^200 - 9^100 more like?

#

well, you have to do some kind of geometric-progression magic

#

Man this seems like some work

factorization

lone heartBOT
north grail
#

someone help me plesae

#

ong

#

i have a big test in a day or two

#

i did everything

#

just cant understand this

nimble sleet
#

What's your question

north grail
#

i just need to understand factorization

#

all of it

#

i just cant understand even w youtube videos

#

9th grade

red nacelle
#

ok

north grail
#

2x2yz + 2xy2z + 4xyz.

red nacelle
#

do you know the distributive property

north grail
#

and

#

z – 19 + 19xy – xyz.

north grail
#

so

#

for

#

2x2yz + 2xy2z + 4xyz.

#

what i did was

red nacelle
#

factoring is the reverse of distribution

north grail
#

i take

#

2xyz as a common factor

#

and

#

write the final equstion as

#

2xyz(x+y+z)

#

is this correct

red nacelle
#

you should multiply the 2s first because multiplication is commutative

#

i'll check

north grail
#

sorry

red nacelle
north grail
#

there would be a 2

#

not a z

north grail
red nacelle
north grail
#

yes

red nacelle
#

multiply the 2s then factor it so it's less confusing

#

so you end up with 4xyz + 4xyz + 4xyz

alpine sable
ocean sealBOT
#

à뜜

north grail
#

so i wrote my answer as

red nacelle
#

ok you can factor out an xyz

north grail
#

2xyz(x+y+2)

#

is that good?

red nacelle
#

yeah that's the factored form

north grail
#

ok

#

and what about the 4 types of factorization

#

can you explain all those

red nacelle
#

is it like the

#

binomial and trinomial factoring

north grail
#

no

#
  1. Common Factors, 2) Regrouping of Terms, 3) Factorization using Identities, and 4) Splitting the Middle Term.
red nacelle
#

oh

north grail
#

mainly 3 and 2

#

1 and 4 i understand

red nacelle
#
  1. was what you just did
#

ok so

#
  1. just involves you using multiplication's commutative property to reorder terms
#
  1. is just using formulas like
#

difference of perfect squares, difference of perfect cubes and sum of perfect cubes

north grail
#

wait so this question is

red nacelle
#

were you mayhaps talking about "factoring by grouping" in 2.

north grail
#

30xy – 12x + 10y– 4.

red nacelle
#

?

north grail
#

and my answer was

#

2(15xy-6x+5y-2)

#

is that correct

red nacelle
#

yes

north grail
#

or do i put it in the 2 brackets

#

cus

red nacelle
#

it's correct

north grail
#

i think

#

its wrong

#

cus i checked and its wrong

#

so i did it again

#

and my answer came as

red nacelle
#

you need parentheses whenever you do like factoring

#

is it a factoring by grouping problem

north grail
#

i grouped the

red nacelle
#

i'll try to see if there's a common ratio rq

north grail
#

(30xy+10y).(-12x-4)

#

this is what i did

red nacelle
#

oh it is

north grail
#

then

#

i

#

wrote

red nacelle
#

you need to factor by grouping

north grail
#

so i did

#

10y(3x+y)

#

for first group

#

and second group

#

idk if i take 04

#

-4

#

or -4x

#

as my factor

#

i think i should take

#

-4

#

because they need to be same right?

red nacelle
north grail
#

but then it comes as

red nacelle
#

this is actually a factoring by grouping problem

north grail
#

-4(3x+1) which isnt the same

red nacelle
#

hold on my dumbass needs to gcf allat

#

6x(5y - 2) + 2(5y - 2)

#

ok so you just have to consider 6x + 2

#

and 5y - 2

#

so your factors are (5y - 2)(6x + 2)

north grail
#

but why 6x

red nacelle
#

@north grail ok so whenever you see two of the same linear factors repeating in the left and right half

#

it is a factoring by grouping problem

north grail
#

shouldnt i take 2 or 10

red nacelle
#

yes but that doesn't narrow it down

north grail
#

are you supposed to take lcm

#

or hcf

red nacelle
#

you're supposed to like see a common ratio between two sides

#

if the left side has a gcf different from the entire expression's gcf

#

and the right side also has a gcf that is different

#

you can identify it as a factoring by grouping problem

north grail
#

i dont understanf

#

waittttt

#

i think i got it

red nacelle
north grail
#

see

red nacelle
#

2 right

north grail
#

litsen

#

so

#

question is

#

30xy – 12x + 10y– 4

#

now

red nacelle
#

the gcf of the left side (30xy - 12x) is 6x

north grail
#

wait can i send a picture of my working

red nacelle
#

yes

north grail
#

lemme just write it neatly again

red nacelle
#

and gcf of the right side is 2

north grail
#

my working

#

is this correct

red nacelle
#

i thought that was a logarithm for a second but anyways

#

you can test your factors by expanding them

#

if they are equal to the original expression

#

then the factors are correct
