japan
alr sure
huh
wdym its japan layout
its hard to find guys quit
i also need help with
<@&286206848099549185> ?
that one?
is this not just a keyboard
it is sorry
ok so do you know how to solve quadratic equations
nop im new to that
that would be best, yes
mate you definitely have a minus sign on your keyboard
i got I
mmm anyway can you show your work for how you got these
oh i got P
zero, not O
i have it my handwriting
right now all i can say is that it could be that the equation really does have 4 solutions, but we would need to check that your work is correct.
,rcw
btw my handwriting good?
your handwriting is readable
no, i am not a kid either.
indeed, i don't think that 26 years old counts as a "kid".
except maybe if you're in your seventies
sorry miss
How to deal with minus signs while simplifying expressions?
it's always confusing
nice hand writing
solve plz
was there a specific question that prompted this or is this a general doubt
thats like saying "how to deal with the number 4 while simplifying expressions" 💔
wait before i say anything is it the subtraction and minus part that gets to u
like the wording of them?
its a really general question sorry g
some tricks?
im assuming u meant something along the lines of (-x) * (-2) for example
yea THS KEYBAORD ANNOYING AS HELL
well as long as you know
negative * negative = positive
positive * negative = negative
you should be fine
yeah thats it
ohhhh yea got u bro
close this ig im done
😭😭

id love to but i cant
let me put y'all out of your misery
then what do i do?

Can someone explain what No Elementary Anti-derivative means?
I was trying to integrate e to the power of x squared
Is it similar to saying that it has no solution in algebra
.
That means, no combinations of the functions we commonly use (polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trig functions) upon differentiation willl yield e power x squared
it means that an antiderivative exists, but there is no formula for it in terms of exponentials, trig, log, polynomials, roots, etc (plus addition,multiplication, subtraction, division and composition of the above)
no, "no solution" means there is no such x in some set such that x satisfies the property
I think what I'm confused on is how the antiderivative exists if the function doesn't give e power x square when differentiating
I'm not sure I'm expressing it correctly, sorry
Shouldn't a function be differentiable in order to have an anti derivative?
no, not necessarily

Can someone help me with this problem?
Pythag
bc pythag is a^2+b^2=c^2
bc thats what one of the lengths are
It is?
idk
The radius of the circle is 13
now use pythagoras
you know lengths of the arms of the right triangle to be 26 and 9 now
what would the equation set up be
what you think?
go on
take square root $\sqrt{757}$
.

am i doing this right so far
this for finding radius of convergence
also why wouldnt it be
0
instead of the |x|
on this solution here the R is 1
why is it 1? and what would the interval be
@tame nebula Has your question been resolved?
The way you cancel stuff is…a bit weird
is it wrong
So first line, ratio test, no problem
Next line though, your solution seems to magically put new numbers for the sake of cancelling them
Rather than working with the originals
For example, $\frac{x^{n+1}}{x^n}\neq \frac{x^{n+1}x^n}{x^n}$
CST (reply ping for help)
So yeah, please recheck
think i go it
Have to put the limit thing since you still haven’t taken the limit for |(n+1)/(n+2)|
ik
but is the cancelling right now
Yep
What are the conditions for the ratio test to say that a series converges?
must be less than 1
|x|
And sooo
if its 1 it cant be because it diverges?
If it’s equal to 1, the ratio test is inconclusive
You’ll have to use a different test
oh yea right forgot about that
so is this right except its just inconclusive instead of diverges
Try to see if you can conclude something
What other convergence tests do you know of
Or I guess an alternate question is, can you recognize the series if x=1 or x=-1?

For the LHS, can I cancel out the (2n-2)! in the denominator and just leave 2n and 2n-1 in the top?
ok sweet lets see how far i get now
Oh W
I think I did this one all on my own except for that double check
this is incorrect
n(2n - 1) = 2n^2 - n likewise on the right you have n(n - 1) = n^2 - n not n^2 - 1
change the 1s to n's and you'll be good
Wait what
Oh I see
this is incorrect
yea

Can anyone help me figoure out this..?
I have been stuck on this for a while
its a basic question,
its understanable, but i am having trouble with the proof
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.
Its not incomplete imo
For polynomials, You can split any polymomial into terms of two types
x^even and x^odd
Regardlessn , part b is the general even od decomposition
Now x^even is an even function
ok
You do know what "even function" means right?
i know what they mean
when f(x) = f(-x)
Yes, a polynomial is nothing but an expression of the form a0x⁰ + a1x + a2x²+...
Youre splitting this sum
Into two sums
i know that
thats understandable
but what i am looking for is
how can i algebrically prove that
not through substiution
I'm not telling you to do any substitution
Just rearrangement
And regrouping of terms
u mean
like take a even function and odd function and just add them?
and conclude that it is a polynomial?
I am looking for a proof
Is there anyone else?
Which one
1 A 4 a number
This is a general polynomial, that IS how they always look. There are no assumptions/random conclusions
Hmm
Ok
Did you meant like adding them together as in regrouping?
Can you be more precise?
I am not adding anything new mate
The thing is already there
Im just using commutativity
Of addition
And associativity
Take for example 3x³+5x²+1
but how would that exactly prove the question tho?
Oh i take it
U have taken two polynomails
one is a even and other is odd
The left bracket is an even function
The right is an odd function
that i understood
Quite the opposite
I started with ONE polynomial
And I showed I can write that as a sum of 2 polynomials
Do you know hot to write general way of writing even and odd functions
Literally just add those two up
Done in a single step
This helps thanks
Was much simpler than expected
Should have paid more attention.
Again, thanks a lot.

no idea where to begin
a
intermediate value theorem, extreme value theorem, preservation of compact and connected sets, sequential criterion for continuity
intermediate value theorem?
another exercise was showing that if the values at the endpoints are equal, and the function is continuous in the interval, the set of discontinuities is uncountable which i was able to do
1/2+x
I'm not sure
it should be continuous
it has to be negative somewhere and positive too?
also.. what's the domain of g?
0 and 1/2?
has to be continuous over [0,1/2]
g(0)=f(0)-f(1/2)=-g(1/2)
Scroll dowb then
g(1/2)=f(1/2)+f(1)
f(1)=f(0)
so it becomes
f(0)-f(1/2)-f(0)
oh i think i messed up
oh right

can someone explain this
and thhis
Hint: similar triangles
Hint: rationalisation
you know tantheta = opp/adjacent
yes
You can do the question without reference to the angle theta, but nonetheless, you probably don't want to use sin (which also will reveal why you don't need to refer to the angle)
mb
And for this one, to rationalize is just to make the denominator an integer

Uni Taylor Polynomials - I don't really understand what I could have wrong here - I'm going off the general formula of f(c) + f'(c)(x-c) + f''(c)(x-c)/1! ...... f(n')(c)(x-c)/n! -- am I misunderstanding what a 3rd-order taylor polynomial would be?
show all your derivatives
f(x) = (3x+46)^4/3
f'(x) = 4(3x+46)^1/3
f''(x) = 4(3x+46)^-2/3
f'''(x) = -8(3x+46)^-5/3
oh you're missing powers on (x-6) in your formula
you can also simplify some numbers but they're not wrong
,calc 4 * (3 * 6 + 46)^(1/3)
Result:
16
no
this is f'(6). why do you have 256^(1/3)
oh I think I was doing (4*(3x+46))^1/3 instead of 4(3x+46)^1/3

Im kinda clueless on how to solve this. We've been doing division of polynomials first by using long division on them and now Horner's algorithm (or synthetic division). From what i got (due to the polynomial remainder theorem where $f(p)=r$) $f(-2)=4$ and $f(5)=3$. My problem now is I don't know how to combine these two. Do i say that $f(-2\cdot5)=4\cdot3$? Or maybe something else?
Gopher
I don't think we can do anything with f as it could be of degree 1, 2, or a billion
(Oh also i dont think i need to mention this but (x^2-3x-10)=(x+2)(x-5))
This seems like a CRT problem but with polynomials
the hell is horner's algorithm
Uhhhh
is that where you use bus stop method
What's the form of the remainder when you divide f by (x²-3x-10) ?
In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation. Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. Afte...
this thing
No not that
ok nvm lol
I would assume it would be linear since x² is the highest degree
ive had a look, its very similar to bus stop
exactly
So you would have f(x) = (x²-3x-10) * Q(X) + (ax+b) then ?
with Q(X) being some polynominal
This kinda stuff
Yeah
You'll just have to solve for a and b then ^^
We have to find (ax+b)
knowing what's f(5) and f(-2) equal to that should be pretty easy
always using that very relation ofc
Is this rational root theorem
Using P/Q to determinate their factor
Wait wait
Does this mean that in f(-2) and f(5) the Q function is the same?
NVM DOESNT MATTER THEY CANCEL OUT
And now you see why its the good way to do it hehe
In the end you should just get a system of two equation to solve for a and b

how to solve for k?
region 1 is twice as big as region 2
exactly
!redir
This channel is only for on-topic discussion. Please take casual conversation to #discussion or #chill.
so u know integral from 0 to k is [p] times as big as integral from k to 5
now what is p?
?
p=2
lets allow h to answer it himself
ok
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
👀
0 to k=2p
k to 5 = p
The literal first word is "how"
okay i see where u r coming from. Just to confirm, what region does p represent for you?
is it region 1 or region 2?
seethe qeustion gives area is twice
(region 1 area) = 2. (region 2 area)
but region 1 =
= region 2
@coarse crag Has your question been resolved?
p is region 2
before I proceed to b, Is q a) correct?
Some parts are problematic
1/2 ln(51) isn't ln 2601
And missing () next to the 1/2
1/2 ( [] - [] )
so up to the the second last line of question a is problematic?

hi

I have exam tom

do u keep lurking in help lmao
k what's the definition of a cauchy sequence?
ill give a hint
from this equation itself, for $p>q$ , find the difference $|x_p - x_q|$
Annie Maqionde
didnt mean find an equality
its just the elements between them
as an example $|x_{n+2} - x_{n} + x_{n} - x_{n-1}| \le |x_{n+2} - x_{n}| + | x_{n} - x_{n-1}|$ so on so forth
Annie Maqionde
xp + xp-1 + xp-2.... - xq - xq-1 - xq-2...
?
u asked the terms between xp and xq right?
k much simpler just consider $|x_{n+p}-x_{p}$
Annie Maqionde
not the terms the difference between the two
from the given equation, you need to find an $N$ such that $|x_{n+p} - x_{p}| \le N$
Annie Maqionde
how can i find the difference?
u mean e?
....
well the thing is that in the definition of a cauchy sequence $e$ is givne and we need to find an $N$ such that for every $n$, $|x_{M+n} - x_n < e$
Annie Maqionde
so to do that we need to first let's say investigate the sequence itself
ik but its simpler if we think it that way
cuz then we can apply this
ohh go on
wait e is given?
yes, for givne $e$ we need to find an $M$
Annie Maqionde
then you can use this
$ |x_{n+2} - x_{n}| = |x_{n+2} - x_{n} + x_{n} - x_{n-1}| \le |x_{n+2} - x_{n}| + | x_{n} - x_{n-1}| \le r^{n-1} + r^n$
for example
i got a geometric series
exactly
now try to find an upper bound for that
its a partial sum of an infinite geoemtry series, right?
well its was in terms m and n but we can simplify ig
rn/1-r?
0 < r < 1
0?
bound?
so $r^n + r^{n-1}......+ r^{m} < \sum^{\infty}r^i$ right?
Annie Maqionde
yes
exactly
that's an upper bound
so now you have $|x_{m+n} - x_m| \le \sum^{\infty} r^i$
Annie Maqionde
and since $|r|<1$ then you can calculate the sum on the right
Annie Maqionde
rn/1-r
Annie Maqionde
Annie Maqionde
here
or is this correct 😭
?
here we sum $\sum^{\infty}_{i=0} r^i$
Annie Maqionde
?
what I meant was $r^m + ..... + r^n < \sum^{\infty}_{i=0} r^i = \frac{1}{1-r}$
Annie Maqionde
k show your method
$r^m + ..... + r^n = \sum^{\n}_{i=m} r^i = \frac{r^n}{1-r}$
vie
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
yes that is conceptually correct
but it would make the whole proof that ${x}$ is cauchy a bit more difficult
Annie Maqionde
...
no
or we have to like prove e > 0
Annie Maqionde
wait
what if $e$ is not of that form?
Annie Maqionde
-1>1/r-1>0
so what we do now is that we take an arbitrary $e$ and first prove the existence of an $r$ such that $1/(1-r) < e$
Annie Maqionde
we can get that from 0 < r < 1
yes so after that the proof should be complete

✅ Original question: #help-0 message
Hint: prove that its cauchy
you can try to prove this up to a constant
like use what you just proved for this one
or actually even better - utilize the last question
thats not what the first question says
ok, whats x_n - x_n-1 by the recurrence relation
from the equation?
do u mean xn+1?
what will we do of xn-3 term
1/2(xn-1 - xn-3)
might be beneficial to just try and see what the sequence does
take x1 = 0 and x2 = 1 and try to compute few terms
x2 is like the upper bound
all the other numbers are less than x2
yes, that's a good observation
what else do u notice if u start with 0, 1?
what happens to the difference |x_n - x_(n-1)|? (i.e. the distance between conseuctive terms)
it starts decreasing
can u just compute the first few terms?
Would u be able to make a reasonable guess at what the difference could be?
how does the gap between consecutive terms shrink?
yess
oh, sorry if it wasnt clear
Once we actually prove that the gap shrinks by factor of 2 at every step, we will be able to apply this
no i just missed classes of cauchy
so its like a weak point rn for me
lemme try
2
< 2?
ephsilon = 2?
We dont need any epsilon here
you already proved this, now if we are able to prove that |x_(n+1) - xn| < r^n, we can conclude that our sequence is cauchy and so it converges
we cant use this in exam tho :(
Hmm.. so u want a method which doesnt reference the preceeding question?
yess
my professor would actually marks if we used that directly
I see. Well, there is actually a way to write out an explicit formula for this sequence
i dont know how to motivate that solution properly though
what is the problem in this question?
wait we proved the geometric series
Well, basically we take a wild guess and say that x_n = r^n
so can we not do the epsilen
😭 that will count as example
for a geometric series yk if r<1 then sigma is r^n/1-r
this isnt really geometric series though, is it?
nah
yk triangle ineuqality?
oh, so they just re-proved the previous result lol
ohhh
This is the important observation that we already made
the rest is just repeating the proof of the last question
yess
can u explain the limit part 😭
the one where we evaluate the limit?
yes
How did the book do it? Did they define sth like I_n = 2x_n + x_(n-1)?
Or did they find an explicit formula for x_n
why only odd indices
Okay, interesting
we dont need to follow the book tho
we could notice that $2x_{n}=x_{n-1}+x_{n-2}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
and if we subtract 2x_(n-1), we get
yes
$2\left(x_{n}-x_{n-1}\right)=x_{n-2}-x_{n-1}$

$\left(x_{n}-x_{n-1}\right)=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot\left(x_{n-1}-x_{n-2}\right)$
MathIsAlwaysRight
wait huh
thats what u get after subtracting 2x_(n-1)
xn-1 has the xn-3 term tho
from the equation
I just did literal subtraction, not applying the eq
$2x_{n}-2x_{n-1}=x_{n-1}+x_{n-2}-2x_{n-1}$
MathIsAlwaysRight
literally like this
You can use Characteristic Equation for the recursion.
😭 my head is hurting omg i missed that
yes pls go on
the point of this is to show that the difference between consecutive terms is actually (-1/2)^n (We already know that the absolute difference is (1/2)^n)
yess
Wait a minute

@modern sedge for Cauchy aren't you supposed to proof for any arbitrary m,n?
not justn+1 and n
Yeah, they did it by that triangle inequality
and @rich river proved it in last exercise (in a more general form), so i didnt consider it necessary to go through it again
now that we know the difference, we actually know every term
the sequence starts with 1, 2, then 2 + (-1/2)^1 then (2 + (-1/2)^1) + (-1/2)^2, etc...
so we actually did find the explicit formula, just by knowing the difference between consecutive terms
the sequence is just partial sums of (shifted) geometric series
1, 1 + (-1/2)^0, 1 + (-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1, 1 + (-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2, ...
yesss

wait how so we get the limit from this
and computing the limit of this sequence is just 1 + geometric series with ratio -1/2
OH
can u do for this question 😭
as an example
wdym?
limit from geometric series
1 + (-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + ...
well, we just need to compute this
(-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + ...
This part is geo-series, with a known formula 1/(1 - r)
in this case, r is -1/2
so we'd get 1/(1 + 1/2) = 1/(3/2) = 2/3
and then 1 + 2/3 = 5/3
Btw there is one more approach for these kind of so-called linear recurrences.
If we guess the solution r^n and we plug it in the equation, we get
2r^(n+2) = r^(n+1) + r^n, which upon division by r^n becomes
2r^2 = r + 1 or
2r^2 - r - 1 = 0. This is known as a "characteristic equation" of the given recurrence
if we solve it, we get r = 1, r = -1/2. This means that
1^n and (-1/2)^n satisfy that recursive formula. And so do all linear combinations of those 2 functions
So the general solution is a*1^n + b*(-1/2)^n = a + b*(-1/2)^n
im pretty good at recursion
now we could plug in n=1 and n=2 and solve for a, b
damnn
this is way easier
the sequence is actually a Contractive Sequence
This wasn't strictly necessary here, but it's a pretty cool technique. I wasn't sure whether to do it this way, because i felt like the book wants u to take the cauchy-path
ohhh
using that technique, u could actually figure out an explicit formula for fibonacci sequence btw
it does want me to take the cauchy path cuz discrete isnt mentioned anywhere :(

If you know about Contractive Sequences then it is pretty easy to identify and then you can proceed accordingly
i know the definition
Here are some hints on how u could do that
||fibonacci is
f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)
so the characteristic eq would be
x^2 = x + 1
x^2 - x - 1 = 0
which has roots around 1.618, -0.618, so the cauchy formula looks like
a*(1.618)^n + b*(-0.618)^n, where a and b are chosen such that the sequence starts with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...||
Then you don't even need to do anything. just manipulate the given recursion to look like contractive and hence done.
this is how that formula looks like
yea this is out of my scope
didnt learn this method
Nope that is one of the easiest things in whole of math
not one night before exam 😭
Bro are you Indian?
yepp
its actually pretty simple to derive it, it looks complicated but it only looks this ugly because x^2 - x - 1 = 0 has ugly solutions (1 + sqrt(5)) / 2 and (1 - sqrt(5)) / 2.
damn which branch bro
class??
I am Class 11th tbh
yesss
hm?
Do you have more problems like this bro?
yeaa
Send it in bro
Yesh
yess
damn bro have nice day.
is this understanding analysis by abott?
Good luck on your exams
mine is robert g bartle
oh interesting
Bartel and Sherbert?
yesss
tysmm
Oh that shii goated asf
i was working with x1 = 1 and x2 = 2, as the answer-key suggested
that was other question
x1, x1 + (x2 - x1) * (-1/2)^0, x1 + (x2 - x1) * (-1/2)^0 + (x2 - x1) * (-1/2)^1, ...
we can just rescale it basically
the difference will be (x2 - x1) * (-1/2)^n
this makes sure that the first difference is just x2 - x1
now if u factor that out, you get
x1 + (x2 - x1) * ((-1/2)^0 + (-1/2)^1 + (-1/2)^2 + (-1/2)^3 + ...) =[in the limit]= x1 + (x2-x1) * (2/3)
OHHHH
makes sense
thanksss

im learning in chinese and english here
idk french
i will try to translate myself hold on

hi
My prof didnt fully solve the last question and i was wondering why he cancelled out the work of the weight (W(P))
work is 0 when displacement and force are in the same direction i believe
net force
wait hang on im talking bs
lol
did you draw a freebody
uhhh i think
where
am sending it rn
okay sorry *work is 0 when displacement and force are perpendicular to each other lol
i was boutta say 😭
terminale ça non ?
comment terminale
bah c’est des exo de physique terminale ? je me trompe ?
uhh c'est physique de premier annee baccalaureatte
sorry am not that good at french 😭
oui oui
usually i make them into an "even" freebody
hang pn
like ths
where the red can be derived from Fg
that helps makes things easier
3
on question 3?
lowk i have no clue cuz its asking for angular velocity 😭
maybe he was showing a proof
could be
unless im mistaken cuz it looks like the work above has the answer
cuz we have the angular velocity for B
is there another question he was going over because this looks like work-energy theorem to me
nah that part is for the last question
okay well he cancelled it because the work there is 0
yeah it is that
yeah but am wondering why its 0
and its for the pulley?
am fairly certain that is the net work for the pulling mechanism
all 3 together make the net yeah
what does the W(R) and W(F) stand for
thats whats messing me up because we use different variables here lol
the R is for the plane reaction (litteral translation)
F is the force the solid S applies on the pulley
im assuming plane reaction is normal force maybe
its like friction
in this case it doesnt matter cuz its negligeble
is this for the pulley
okay well if its for the actual pulley
the pulley isnt moving up or down, so theres no displacement
if there's no displacement then is 0
nah its okay, it took me awhile to understand the question lol
thought the force weight would cancel out cuz of cos 90 or sum😭
that could also be the wrong explanation but it works
that is also true in general of work
THANKSSS
yeah
stationary objects have no work
wait whats Fg
ohhh okok

How is asymptotic with respect to n specified?
I have the equation* $\ln\left(\frac{d}{dz}P^{n}\left(z\right)\right)\sim\ln\left(p-p^{z}\right)\ln\left(P^{n}\left(z\right)\right)$
*idk what things like these are called when its no longer equalities or inequalities or a single expression
and want to specify it asymtoptic with repsect to $n$
i mean, if the variable is called "n", then chances are it's implied to approach +∞
Aper
you can also just say it in words
Aper
or like... shove an $n \to +\infty$ under the tilde? but that's gonna get ugly
Ann
actually I could just do n under the tilde, the assumption would for asymptotes is that its going to infinity anyway
I'll do that
ty
.close
thats the formula
yep, those ones. Try applying the second one
hmm okay
i dont really know how😅
wait, first, do you want to solve 11 or 12?
i want to do 11
you choose some value for a and some for b and see if it works out
hmmm
(3x+5y)² seems like a great choice to me xD
Uhhhm can any one tell me why
can you send a picture of your kb
thank u so much
