gray isle
#

for the exact reason mentioned above

woven flume
#

oh wait

#

its positive

#

is that it?

oak chasm
#

(-1)^4 = 1, so yes.

gray isle
#

Also 2 * 4 isn't 16

woven flume
#

yeah that was my confusion

gray isle
#

It looks like you wrote an 8 first, which would've been correct

woven flume
#

but then I don't get x^4

#

I get x^2

gray isle
#

But then you crossed it out and replaced it with 16

#

Ur stuffing up another one of your exponent laws

woven flume
#

yeah...

#

this is the question

gray isle
#

$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m -n} \neq a^{\frac mn}$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

gray isle
#

$\frac{x^8}{x^4} = x^{8 -4} \neq a^{\frac 84}$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

woven flume
#

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

#

thank you

#

I think this is it

gray isle
#

notation can be improved a bit,
= signs are used inappropriately in the first half of the work

woven flume
#

should I use therefores instead?

gray isle
#

would be better if you introduced
**kx^4 = **

woven flume
#

how can I improve that

#

wdym by kx^4 ?

gray isle
woven flume
#

ah

#

sure

void reef
#

anyone good with probabilities ?

#

how do I reach that value?

#

the teacher didn't put the formula

lavish cypress
#

Calculate P(Y = 1) and P(Y = 0), add them up, and subtract the sum from 1

vestal warren
#

hello, I need help with this problem

void reef
#

how?

jagged imp
#

integrate twice to find y

#

you have enough information to determine both constants of integration as you introduce them

#

remembering that the slope of the tangent line at x=a is y'(a)

jagged imp
# void reef how?

using the binomial probability formula or a calculator that can do it

ionic jewel
#

yeah use the pmf

#

do you know the pmf for the binomial distribution?

void reef
#

no

jagged imp
#

do you know the formula for binomial probabilities?

#

cause the pmf is just a fancy way of saying that

void reef
#

no I don't know either

#

any good videos on that?

ionic jewel
#

it's just a formula you memorize it

void reef
#

I procrastinated and started studying way too late

ionic jewel
#

you could look up a derivation but I'm sure it's not that nice

#

well actually it's probably pretty simple, you don't need any calc for discrete prob functions

void reef
#

could you also identify

#

what's going on here?

full wasp
#

huh what language is that

void reef
#

it's portuguese

#

it's to check if sales are over 2000

ionic jewel
#

i can't read Portuguese but looks like calculations for mean and variance

void reef
#

i'm not sure how the teacher solved it

#

yes

#

it uses mean and variance

#

idk what she does after having both values tho

ionic jewel
#

what kind of distribution is it?

void reef
#

normal

ionic jewel
#

then it's just using the formula

full wasp
#

if you have the mean and variance then u can evaluate probabilities

ionic jewel
#

,w normal distribution (1900, 500), P(X>= 2000)

void reef
#

this?

#

,w normal distribution (1900, 2500), P(X>= 2000)

void reef
#

hmm

ionic jewel
#

no

void reef
#

values don't match

ionic jewel
#

Wolfram uses SD as their other normal argument

#

not variance

void reef
#

still doesn't match tho

ionic jewel
#

so you have to take the square root of your variance to get standard deviation

#

yes I agree

void reef
#

teacher got 0,02

ionic jewel
#

i guess that means it's not a normal distribution

void reef
#

it says it's normal

#

on the exercise

full wasp
#

perhaps your teacher has messed something up

ionic jewel
#

yeah looks wrong, I'd trust wolfram

void reef
#
4.1 Calculate the probability that, on a given day, the value of sales for traditional trade exceeds that of department stores.
4.2 The factory will set a target of 2000€ of sales per week. What is the probability of reaching this goal? (Consider 1 week = 5 working days.```
#

Can you confirm?

#

It's ex 4.2

ionic jewel
#

their answer is just wrong

#

mean of 1900 and var of 2500 intuitively doesn't make P(x>=2000) that low of a nunber

#

they much have been solving for something else, or messed up

void reef
#

sqr root of 2500 is 50

#

,w normal distribution (1900, 50), P(X>= 2000)

ionic jewel
ionic jewel
#

ah yes

void reef
#

gives the value now

ionic jewel
#

so my mental math is slacking

void reef
#

you did 500

ionic jewel
#

got it

void reef
#

xd

ionic jewel
#

thanks lol

void reef
#

yea nice

full wasp
#

well fwiw i didnt notice that either

void reef
#

exam is in 6 hours

#

we can't use wolfram tho

ionic jewel
#

is it open note?

full wasp
#

as long as u can do it on ur GDC or whatever youll be fine

void reef
#

we can take papers

#

with notes

ionic jewel
#

if you don't know the formulas and you don't have a way to use them you fail

void reef
#

yes

ionic jewel
#

okay

#

get the PDF and CDF of all relevent distributions

void reef
#

is this the formula?

ionic jewel
#

that's the PDF yes

#

you may want the CDF as well

#

well

#

the CDF is ugly

#

but you might need calculus then

void reef
#

hmm well technically the notes is the PDF the teacher gives so this is all we have to use

full wasp
#

do u get to use a calculator

void reef
#

when i said open note is because we can write

#

she won't check

#

but jesus_shrug

#

yes

void reef
#

scientific

alpine sable
#

is this a good resource

void reef
#

graphic calculator i mean

full wasp
#

most graphic calculators can do normal PDF and CDF

void reef
#

how

full wasp
#

depends on your model

void reef
#

casio fx-CG 20

full wasp
#

ive never even seen one of those before uhhh you might need to check your manual

void reef
#

aight

#

does this look close to it?

full wasp
#

yeah

#

does it give you the answer

void reef
#

p=1.0798e-03

#

i don't think this is right

full wasp
#

ok wait nvm

#

u need to use normal CSF

#

CDF

#

instead of PDF

void reef
#

what do you mean?

#

i don't know the acronyms in english

full wasp
#

you see how here it said P.D

#

u should be able to find another option that says Normal C.D

void reef
#

this?

#

p = 0.977

#

hm

full wasp
#

well youve just calculated P(X ≤ 2000)

#

you want P(X ≥ 2000)

void reef
#

i thought

#

since i put in upper

#

it meant bigger than 2000

#

is my logic wrong?

full wasp
#

what lower and upper means is it calculates P(lower ≤ X ≤ upper)

void reef
#

I can't do lower: 2000 upper: 0

full wasp
#

yeah because P(2000 ≤ X ≤ 0) is nonsense

void reef
#

btw if I seem dumb is because it's 3am and ive been studying for 10hours

#

so im a bit slow atm

warped phoenix
#

real quick question, are trigonometric functions considered algebra II content?

full wasp
#

u want to set lower to 2000 and then upper to some number like 3000

void reef
#

thanks

#

it worked

#

i'll try doing 4.1 with the calculator too

full wasp
#

after like 5 standard deviations from the mean the probabilities are almost zero

void reef
#

it's 0.22

#

can you tell me the diff between Npd and Ncd?

#

I didn't understand that part

full wasp
#

Npd calculates the probability of a single value

#

Ncd calculates the probability of a range of values

#

thats why Ncd makes you specify a lower and upper number because itll find the probability of all values between the lower and upper number

void reef
#

oh aight

#

makes sense

#

i'm so tired

#

that I tried taking a screenshot

#

in my calculator..

full wasp
#

u should sleep before your test like

void reef
#

i did it like this for the 4.1

#

gave the correct value

#

thanks

#

i didn't know the calculator could do this

#

thanks

#

eh.. I'm not gonna sleep
im pulling an all nighter

#

way too behind on the things

full wasp
#

your teacher shouldve told u about this like
no sane person with a GDC is going to be out here trying to calculate 1/√2πσ² etc.

void reef
#

imma be honest

#

im in college

#

with covid most classes were online

#

online classes are very hard to not skip

full wasp
#

rip

warped phoenix
#

Hey guys, for $x(x^2 + x - 2) = 0$, I got x = 0, x = 1, and x = 1, does that mean there are only 2 roots, 0 and 1?

ocean sealBOT
#

TheMane3

void reef
#

what

#

how did you do that?

full wasp
void reef
#

so I can also solve this

#

with my calculator, right?

#

it's poison something

full wasp
#

the calculator should have a poisson CDF

void reef
#

I should use CDF here?

#

yea im using tat one

full wasp
#

hold on isnt that a binomial distribution

void reef
#

oh yea

#

you're right

#

nice

#

it gave me the correct value

#

thanks lollipop

woven pollen
full wasp
#

aw thats nice

void reef
#

learning more from you

#

than from my teacher

#

in her defense i attended very few classes

#

i gotta memorize where to use each of the distributions tho

#

still not sure

full wasp
#

sometimes itll say in the question

void reef
#
3.1. Present the variable that models the above situation, indicating its distribution and parameter(s).```
#

in this one it didn't

#

how do you figure it's poisson?

full wasp
#

poisson distribution takes one parameter, which is the expected value

#

here u only have one parameter and its the expected number of soaps the equipment can process (per minute)

void reef
#

oh aight

#

makes sense

#

can the calculator do intervals of confidence?

#

idk whats the name in english

full wasp
#

maybe, im not sure

void reef
#

Could you please try to me explain me this one Lollipop?

#

The question is to calculate the confidence interval for Homen (h) at 95%

#

but i don't understand anything going on

#

here's the table

full wasp
#

sorry uhh i havent learnt about confidence intervals

#

someone else is gonna have to help. im just as lost as you are

woven pollen
void reef
#

oh

#

I get it

#

Kinda

What is the value of 12 ÷ 2 (5 – 2) = ?

2 or 18?

viral patio
# vague iris What is the value of 12 ÷ 2 (5 – 2) = ? 2 or 18?

based on bodmas/bidmas/birdmas/pemdas (different places call it different things), you do brackets first, then indices/exponents, then multiplication/division (from left to right), then addition/subtraction (from left to right)
follow that, we get:
12 ÷ 2 (5 – 2)
= 12 ÷ 2 * 3
= 6 * 3
= 18

thx

void reef
#

i understood everything

#

except the yellow part

#

what's that z?

slim elbow
#

Can a problem like this can be solved without LCM? If so, will the answer be different?

#

,rotate

ocean sealBOT

#

Ummm im pretty sure you need the lcm so that you can actually add or minus them.

alpine sable
#

help pls

full wasp
#

me when the differential equation

#

well you have h'(t) = 1.4t + 5 so how would u go about finding h(t)

alpine sable
#

huh

#

o

#

yes

#

antiderivative

full wasp
#

yes and then use the boundary condition to find the value of c

alpine sable
full wasp
#

i think so

alpine sable
#

ok thank you

woven pollen
# void reef what's that z?

In your case z=1.96. And this is what you multiply the Standard Error by to get your confidence interval, at the 95% level. Different levels of confidence (e.g. 90%) will have a different z value. Most of us have memorized the 1.96 for z, because 95% confident intervals are so commonly used.

@full wasp wdym theres more than 3 distinct roots

#

i did the math wrong?

full wasp
#

originally you said there were two distinct roots

#

if u look at it harder theres actually three distinct roots

warped phoenix
#

yeah i screwed up the math sorry

dull onyx
#

hello… i have to check if a decimal part of a number is equal to 0,5 or above but im not sure how i can do it in a program.. like how the hell would i check that

warped phoenix
#

btw, is the left side of the x axis called negative x?

#

@full wasp

full wasp
#

yeah its the negative x axis

#

How do I find "b" in this piece wise function problem? I've looked up several ways and can't seem to find a way how people got "b" in their equation.

#

@ me if you answer

full wasp
#

well the line segments have to line up @muted portal

muted portal
#

What do you mean by that?

full wasp
#

im assuming this is uhh

#

the taxing system where higher brackets are taxed more

muted portal
#

Yes

lean niche
#

so..if i ask any q, u guys will help me ?

full wasp
#

ok hold on i need to think about this

flat apex
full wasp
#

ok so i graphed the first part of the function

#

basically if u look at it theres a break in the graph at x = 22000

#

so what u have to do is set the value of "b" such that these two line segements line up

muted portal
#

Oh ok, so without the graph, how would I find "b"?

flat apex
#

B is the y-intercept no?

#

In a y=mx+b function

muted portal
#

Yes

full wasp
#

well if you approach x = 22000 from the left side you have 22000 * 0.09 = some number

#

but if you approach x = 22000 from the right side you have 22000 * 0.16 = some other number

muted portal
#

Ok I get what you're saying. So both of those values subtracted by each other, the 2nd equation being the 1st number?

full wasp
#

yeah what you want is 22000 * 0.16 + b = 22000 * 0.09

#

and solve for b

muted portal
#

👍 Thank you so much

full wasp
#

the same goes for the other ranges of x, basically u just dont want any breaks in the graph

civic elbow
#

wait I am a little confused on a trig question can someone help? I know it is 51.08 but I wanna know the steps

untold sequoia
#

tan20=opposite/adjacent

#

opposite=48tan20

#

hypotenuse^2=adjacent^2+opposite^2=48^2+(48tan20)^2

#

@civic elbow

civic elbow
#

So ik the opposite is 17.47

#

I wanna know just without the opposite how I can find the hypotenuse with cos

#

so cos(20)=48/y?

untold sequoia
civic elbow
#

Ya then you can multiply 9

#

then divide cos(20)

untold sequoia
#

wt?

#

why did you multiply with 9?

civic elbow
#

eh just to move y on the left side

#

that is what our teachers told us to do

twin haven

karmic zodiac
#

Hey, can someone explain why πR2 - πr2 = π(R2- r2)

#

Like, not the meaning of the formula or anything, just the algebra stuff

#

πR² - πr² = π(R²- r²)
Where did the second π go?

tired hamlet
#

It gets distributed to the (R2-r2)

robust spindle
#

its like A * (B - C) = AB - AC

tired hamlet
#

It’s πr2 and π-r2

karmic zodiac
#

OHHHHH

#

Ok ok ty

#

I bugged for a second

#

Thank you both :)

alpine sable
#

is -1 - x the same as x - 1?

muted portal
#

-1-x =/= x-1

#

Because the x on the left side is negative

#

and the other is positive, therefore, it's not a true statement

#

The answers should give a pretty solid hint - What's the taylor series of ln(1 + x)? Your book may have it

#

@obtuse valve

obtuse valve
#

i dont have

#

how did u find

placid zinc
#

You can find it by hand too, or Google if you're feeling lazy

#

Or Wolfram Alpha is a good tool

#

,w Taylor series ln(1 - x)

placid zinc
#

I changed my mind I care more about ln(1 - x)

#

Looks pretty familiar

dire patrol
obtuse valve
#

thx

dire patrol
#

anyone know how to do this

#

all i know is v max is when x is at centre

#

im a bit stuck

placid zinc
#

Allowed to use calculus?

dire patrol
#

ye

#

ofc

placid zinc
#

So the equation describing the motion can be:
s(t) = asin(bt)

dire patrol
#

s(t) = a sin(bt+ alpha) ?

#

or no

placid zinc
#

The only thing the alpha would change is the start time. As you'll see when you start taking derivatives, it doesn't matter anyway

dire patrol
#

OHHH

#

wait hold on

#

ok ok

#

so do we not consider it at the start

#

if it doesnt say anything in the question

placid zinc
#

More like, we can make our life simpler by just letting it start at the midpoint

dire patrol
#

alright

#

ok ok

#

would we derive s(t) twice

#

to get acceleration ?

placid zinc
#

Yeye

dire patrol
#

-n^2 x ?

#

im not sujre what to do with max velocity and max accel tho

placid zinc
#

Then that would tell you what a and b are

dire patrol
#

is max accel when velocity is 0?

placid zinc
#

Yes

#

Wait no haha

dire patrol
#

oh >

#

wait i think its the other way raound isnt it

placid zinc
#

Other way around. Max accel is when a'(t) = 0

dire patrol
#

ye

obtuse valve
#

,w Taylor series 1/2-2x

placid zinc
#

Mind you, the maximum of abcos(bx) doesn't need an algebraic proof. The max is when cos = 1

dire patrol
#

wait ok ok

#

ill try derive twice see where i get

#

wait

#

actually

#

how do u know it starts at sin

#

because it could start at cos

#

it doesnt say anything in the question

placid zinc
#

That's the same idea as the alpha

dire patrol
#

about the initial condition

placid zinc
#

We have control of the start time, so start at the simplest possible time

dire patrol
#

ok now i am confused ahah

placid zinc
#

All we care about is the simple harmonic motion (motion is a sinudoid)

So let it be any sinusoid. We'll choose the easiest one to work with.

#

Yeah you could make it cos(bx + 1) but ehh.

alpine sable
#

Kaynex, is it alright if I ask a question next after this?

dire patrol
#

wait

placid zinc
#

Ping me in a different channel I'll help there

dire patrol
#

it doesnt even make sense

#

cause we have displacement in terms of time

#

if i want vmax dont i need like velocity in terms of displacement

#

like v^2=n^2(a^2-x^2) ?

placid zinc
#

Nah vmax is just a velocity

#

Ignore the time and place it happens

#

I suppose I already know in advance that in asin(bt + alpha)

a and b change the velocity and acceleration

alpha does not

#

If you're wary of this, it isn't a big deal to include it

dire patrol
#

ok so what do i do after finding x dot

#

idk what to sub in

placid zinc
#

v(t) = absin(bt + α)

#

That is maximized when sin = 1. So the max actually is just ab

#

Gives us ab = 3

dire patrol
#

OHH

#

WAIT I HAVE IT

#

thank u

#

i got it all g

alpine sable
#

good job

placid zinc
#

Happy to help. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

and then the derivative of e^f(x)?

glass lichen
dull onyx
#

ah okay thank u

#

getting into monotonic functions and im hella confused

tribal geyser
#

Can someone pls help with 5) b and c

#

I don’t get what it means

glass lichen
#

negative definite means the function is never non-negative

#

f(x)<0 for all x

tribal geyser
#

Ohh and positive means it’s always positive?

glass lichen
#

yes

tribal geyser
#

Sorry could u help with another question

glass lichen
#

make it into a quadratic, then use discriminant

tribal geyser
#

I did

#

I’ll show u

#

Is that right so far?

#

@glass lichen

#

And then I thought to do p^2-4(x+1)

glass lichen
#

no

tribal geyser
#

Oh

glass lichen
#

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

ocean sealBOT
tribal geyser
#

If I do the discriminate for that it would be p^2-2p-3

#

Um sorry the channel is taken

dull onyx
#

yep sorry just saw!!

glass lichen
#

$(-(p-1))^2-4(1)(1)\geq 0$

ocean sealBOT
tribal geyser
#

Yes

glass lichen
#

so just solve that inequality

tribal geyser
#

I did but I got p^2-2p-3

glass lichen
#

yeah looks right

tribal geyser
#

So shouldn’t it be x less than or equal to -1 or x is greater than or equal to 3

#

I mean p

glass lichen

i don’t understand how the -x got factored ㅠㅠ

#

(sorry if ur not finished^^)

shell widget
#

-x = 2x - 3x

#

As to why they chose 2 and -3, that's because when we multiply 2 and -3, we get -6(the term without any x)

dull onyx
#

Ohhh

#

thank u i was so lost

tribal geyser
#

Hey guys how can an angle be bigger than 270 but less than 180

#

Is there a typo or am I just blind

shell widget
#

it says less than 270 and bigger than 180

tribal geyser
#

Or I am blind

#

Whoops thank you

crisp sleet
#

How do i verify

#

Its 1a)

shell widget
#

@crisp sleet You can find f(1). Then find f'(x) and show that it's > 0 and so for all x>=1, we have f(x) >= f(1)

#

For the other part, you should know that x^2 / (1 + x^2 ) < 1 for all x

#

since the denominator is larger than the numerator

i need help with differential equations

#

specifically with modelling problems

glass lichen
dire patrol
#

how do i do this

#

im new to this concept

#

so im lost

#

i know F= m times a

vale wigeon
#

you have a force which varies with time

#

you're told that F varies linearly from t=0 to t=20 and that F(0) = 20 and F(20) = 0

#

it does not actually matter that this time-dependent quantity is a force, as far as part a goes

dire patrol
#

ok so where should i start

#

@vale wigeon

vale wigeon
#

you are told that $F(t) = at + b$ for some constants $a$ and $b$

ocean sealBOT
dire patrol
#

wait what

#

where did this come from

vale wigeon
#

a force that decreases uniformly

#

i.e. decreases at a constant rate

dire patrol
#

oh

vale wigeon
#

i.e. is linear as a function of time

dire patrol
#

ohh okj

#

ye i got it now thanks

#

sory but i dont know how to do part b aswell ahah

#

@vale wigeon

#

how would i do part b

vale wigeon
#

this is where F = ma comes in

#

you have found that $F(t) = 20 - t$, right?

ocean sealBOT
dire patrol
#

yes

vale wigeon
#

and you know that the particle has a mass of 10 kg

#

thus you know its acceleration for $0 \leq t \leq 20$ is described by $a(t) = 2 - 0.1t$

ocean sealBOT
dire patrol
#

wait what

#

i am confused how u got to that step

#

OH WAIT

#

nah i get it

#

ok ok

vale wigeon
#

so you need to find v(20)

dire patrol
#

i integrated

vale wigeon
#

knowing that v' = a, and v(0) = 0

dire patrol
#

right ok i got it

#

sory to bother but how do i do c @vale wigeon

#

i tried integrating velocity

#

then let x=0 but i got t=60

#

when answer is t=5

vale wigeon
#

what did you get for the velocity at t=20?

dire patrol
#

20ms^-1

vale wigeon
#

20 m/s, ok

#

gonna take your word for that

#

now we have a force of 40N slowing our particle down

#

remember our particle has a mass of 10 kg

#

what is the deceleration of the particle?

dire patrol
#

wait

#

do i put it into the formula

#

f=ma

#

-40=10a?

#

im not sure

vale wigeon
#

F = ma yes.

#

you should get a deceleration of 4 m/s^2.

dire patrol
#

yes

#

ok where am i meant to use that now

#

wait

#

do i let f=0
?

#

wait nvm

vale wigeon
#

your particle starts out with a velocity of 20 m/s and is decelerating at 4 m/s^2; how long does it take before the particle is at rest?

Prove that f is continuous if for all monotonic sequences (x_n) converging to x_0 we have lim f(x_n) = f(x_0)
I tried using the theorem that all sequences have monotonic subsequences, and that f(x_n) is a sequence that is a subsequnce of some other sequence f(x_k). Now, f(x_k) is bounded because its monotonic subsequence converges. I am unable to show lim f(x_k) = lim f(x_n)

#

Kindly ping me if you reply

#

<@&286206848099549185>

woeful pulsar
#

or use epsilon delta

nova anvil
#

a contrapositive argument works well here right, suppose f is not continuous on x_0, then you can construct this sequence inductively which doesnt converge to f(x0) even though x_n -> x0

#

by shrinking the delta balls

loud pagoda
#

Hey wdym by construct a sequence inductively?

nova anvil
#

so pick a ball of radius 1, find a point in that ball that gets mapped outside epsilon ball, then another point from ball of radius 1/2 mapping outside ep-ball around f(x_0), and so on..., creating a sequence x_n converging to x_0

loud pagoda

Oh right!!

Got it thx

 If the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and if the
answer is not exact, give the answer to three significant figures. Give
answers in degrees to one decimal place
what is meant by this. It was on my exam paper

#

a past paper

nova anvil
#

for example for non-angle answers if you got sqrt(2) as your answer then write 1.41. and if your answer is some angle then you write it in degree form to 1 d.p.

#

wait nvm

#

ignore the first part since sqrt(2) is exact i guess

pale haven
#

what is meant by exact in this context?

nova anvil
#

yea I'm not sure

quartz stone
#

It probably means not algebraic, although that even may be too far

#

With my exams, the maximum you'd go to before putting your answer to 3dp is probably: using fractions; using pi; using surds

alpine sable
quartz stone
#

So if you have a sin / arcsin in there, they probably want dp

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

yes

#

i dont know how to do this at all lol

quartz stone
#

I mean they probably want you to assume you're making a rectangle

#

Altho u could be cheeky.

alpine sable
#

no i fr dont know how to answer that

#

im literally asking my classmates about it xd

quartz stone
#

I'll check if rectangle is the best case but if we assume this (this is what they usually do), then you have the following setup:

alpine sable
#

Btw it notes that its a rectangle yes

graceful sierra
alpine sable
#

still not sure how to get the area expression xd like i literally need someone to explain it to me D:

quartz stone
#

I can

#

I'm making a drawing

alpine sable
#

okay

quartz stone
#

This is your house and rope, right?

alpine sable
#

okay

quartz stone
#

And it says that you have 90 metres of rope

#

So what can you say about a and b?

graceful sierra
alpine sable
#

uh so

#

wait so you have only?

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

wait

#

oh

#

yeah

#

you do only have 90

#

so basically you distribute it to both A and B?

quartz stone
#

Yes

#

You want to figure that out

alpine sable
#

Ok so what do I do is

#

Divide? ok im not sure how you're going to do that

quartz stone
#

You need to use calculus, but first, is it possible to make an expression for the area of the rectangle just given side a?

#

As in, knowing side a, can you find out side b

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

because if you did, side a will be using all of the rope?

#

🤷

quartz stone
#

For any configuration of the rectangle

alpine sable
#

I don't think you do, side b will be longer than that because that would be a square?

#

wait let me clarify that

quartz stone
#

You know that there are 90 metres of rope

alpine sable
#

yes

quartz stone
#

So can you say anything about the sum of the rope used in all the sides?

alpine sable
#

ohhhhhh

#

I am not sure on how to find the sum of the rope of all sides, is there some sort of formula to know?

quartz stone
#

smth + smth + smth = 90 metres

alpine sable
#

I can't possibly divide it to 3 because that would be a square

quartz stone
#

a and b are different / don't have to be the same

alpine sable
#

I dont know

#

XD

quartz stone
#

What is the perimeter of the red lines?

graceful sierra
#

see the pic,, and relate a and b , and the length of the rope

alpine sable
#

okay let me think

#

45 = b,
22.5 = a?

#

ok help me im dumb

graceful sierra
#

NO

alpine sable
#

LOL

graceful sierra
#

I mean that is wrong

quartz stone
#

Have you done algebra?

alpine sable
#

i never learned anything since online classes happened

graceful sierra
#

The general expression bro.

quartz stone
#

I mean it would be a kind thing to give the answer, but at the same time, it's going to be useful for jezreel in the future to know maths

alpine sable
#

ouef

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

i used to xd

quartz stone
#

ok so that's good

alpine sable
#

but like i dont even like math so i forgot either ways

quartz stone
#

😦

alpine sable
#

meme

#

XZD

quartz stone
#

xd

graceful sierra
#

So see the pic jezreel

quartz stone
#

Do you know how to find the perimeter of a shape?

alpine sable
#

im literally googling 💀

#

XD

#

n o

quartz stone
#

What's the perimeter of this shape?

alpine sable
#

14 + 8?

#

idk

quartz stone
#

Ok epic

alpine sable
#

xd

graceful sierra
quartz stone
# quartz stone

now do it for this shape, but remember that the house isn't part of the rope

alpine sable
#

but like the thing is how could you do it with 3 sides tho idk

quartz stone
quartz stone
alpine sable
#

i mean like if i said

#

30

#

its going to be a square right? im not sure

graceful sierra
#

I mean say the expression already... He will probably not get the expr by himself . but next time he'll use this thing

alpine sable
#

XD

quartz stone
#

Ah ok

#

2a + b = 90

#

does this make sense?

alpine sable
#

a

#

yes

#

no

#

yes and no

quartz stone
#

So the rope is 90 metres

graceful sierra
#

a + a+ b = fence length

quartz stone
#

And you have the sides a, a, and b in the fence

alpine sable
#

ok

alpine sable
graceful sierra
#

You get it?

#

@alpine sable

alpine sable
#

but how are you going to distribute it at all 💀

graceful sierra
#

see the drawing once.

quartz stone
#

Calculus 👀

graceful sierra
quartz stone
#

The area of the rectangle is a * b, right?

alpine sable
#

ok

quartz stone
#

What is b, in terms of a?

alpine sable
#

45? idf

#

kms

quartz stone
#

It's an algebraic expression, not a number

alpine sable
#

heh

quartz stone
graceful sierra
alpine sable
#

2a - 90 = b?

#

XD

quartz stone
#

EPIC

#

So you know b = 2a - 90

#

So can you define the area of the rectangle, a * b, using just a

alpine sable
#

um

quartz stone
#

given that b is the same thing as 2a - 90

alpine sable
#

okay

quartz stone
#

u can do it?

alpine sable
#

a * 2a - 90? idfk

quartz stone
#

ye

#

a * (2a - 90)

#

brackets are useful just for order of operations

alpine sable
#

ijay

#

*okay

#

a * (2a - 90)

quartz stone
#

Wait

#

90 - 2a

alpine sable
#

88a?

#

xd

quartz stone
#

Does that make sense?

alpine sable
#

because 90 is bigger than 2? idk

quartz stone
#

But you were pretty close

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

okay

quartz stone
#

2a + b = 90
Subtract 2a from both sides
2a + b - 2a = 90 - 2a
b = 90 - 2a

alpine sable
#

why did it become - 2a

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

because its the opposite side?

quartz stone
#

We add -2a to both sides, because if we do the same thing to both sides, the equation is still true

alpine sable
#

ohh

quartz stone
#

So you see on the graph

#

There's a point where the area is maximum, right?

alpine sable
#

uh

quartz stone
#

As in there's a value of a where you have the greatest area

alpine sable
#

yes yes

#

like the peak?

quartz stone
#

Yes

alpine sable
#

ok

quartz stone
#

Exactly

#

So you use calculus to find this peak

alpine sable
#

yeah my dumb ass doesnt know what calculus to use here xd

quartz stone
#

Firstly, a(90-2a) = 90a - 2a^2

#

(I mean this equation you don't even need calculus, but they probably want you to use it )

alpine sable
#

yea its calculus

#

the subject

quartz stone
#

ye

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

not really

#

like theres a lot of things that just came there randomly lol

quartz stone
#

a * (90-2a) = a * 90 - a * 2a = 90a - 2a^2

alpine sable
#

ok ok

#

got it

quartz stone
#

do you know how to take derivatives?

alpine sable
#

a

#

:dead:

quartz stone
#

$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}$

alpine sable
#

nop

#

i saw it but no

ocean sealBOT
#

TrueBoxGuy

alpine sable
#

yes that

#

i saw that xd

quartz stone
#

you don't know at all?

alpine sable
#

nao

quartz stone
#

$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}a} 90a - 2a^2$

#

Ok

ocean sealBOT
#

TrueBoxGuy

quartz stone
#

Basically, each term between + and -, you take the derivative of, and the derivative of $a$ is $1$ and the derivative of $a^2$ is $2a$

ocean sealBOT
#

TrueBoxGuy

alpine sable
#

oh no

#

xd

quartz stone
#

derivative of 9 * smth is 9 * derivative of smth

#

Ok so try these ones:

#

Derivative of $5a$

ocean sealBOT
#

TrueBoxGuy

quartz stone
#

Derivative of $5a + a^2$

ocean sealBOT
#

TrueBoxGuy

quartz stone
#

Can u do those ones?

graceful sierra
#

Oh man.. still going on?

alpine sable
#

uhh

#

XD

#

i dont even know what is going on

graceful sierra
#

Dont you know differential calculus? 🙂

alpine sable
#

i said i literally know nothing

#

because online school sucks

#

asz

graceful sierra
#

How do you expect to do the problem then? 🙂

alpine sable
#

nothing

#

im hopeless

quartz stone
alpine sable
#

when it comes to math 🙂

quartz stone
#

Maybe Khan academy or another site will help

#

But later

graceful sierra
#

You want the solution?

quartz stone
#

It you want to catch up on what you missed

alpine sable
#

im just doing this because the deadline of all of my requirements is just until now at 12:00 am XD

quartz stone
#

Ye perhaps we do this step

alpine sable
#

and my dumb ass doesnt know how to answer it 💀

quartz stone
#

You then solve for 90 - 4a = 0 to get a

#

You can calculate b using that

#

And then a * b is the area

alpine sable
#

ok i will just

#

calculate

#

xd

exscuse me but can someone explain to me what I5I notation means |5 − 8| − |2 − 5|

nova shard
# nova shard is this right?

i got it by doing 2^2 - 2 - 1 which equals 1, and -1^2 - -1 -1 which equals -1. since the "formula" goes x_f - x_i, I plugged in the values, which leaves me with 1--1..

im am idiot

but i was left with 1--1

which is 2

not 0

f(-1) isnt -1

but anyway

you can also notice that the secant line (that goes thru f(-1) and f(2)) is parallel to the x axis

What is so special about 5, that so many primes stem from its branch if you make an inverse of the Collatz conjecture?

#
  • Not looking for a specific answer, just some thoughts some of you more experienced mathematicians may have on it.
#

<@&286206848099549185>

twilit ibex
#

Yes?

#

What are you alluding to?

glass lichen
#

The fact you broke a rule

twilit ibex
#

Yes, but which?

#

It is unoccuppied and I asked a question?

glass lichen
#

and pinged helpers right away... given I responded to the helper ping

twilit ibex
#

Oh

#

Sorry, didn't see the one about 15 minutes.

#

But do you perhaps have any thoughts?

glass lichen
#

5 is just a number like 3 or pi

#

I have no clue what you mean by its branch

twilit ibex
#

Okay, so you know of the Collatz conjecture right?

f(x) = {x/2 \in \doubleZ divide by 2 if x\2 \notIn \doubleZ multiply by 3 and minus 1 }

sage summit
#

well every collatz trajectory that ends at 1 and that is not from 16,8,4,2 or 1 either goes through 5 or through 32

#

I am not aware of any result about the asymptotic proportion of the numbers that go through 5 or 32

twilit ibex
#

Has this been proven or is this just observational?

sage summit
#

not even that it actually exists

twilit ibex
#

Also, what does "asymptotic proportion" mean thonk

sage summit
#

I think asymptotic density might be more correct

#

the asymptotic density of a subset A of the positive integers is limit of 1/n * size of A intersected with {1...n}

#

the limit may or may not exist

#

your observation that there are more numbers that go through 5 than 32, could be turned into a more precise mathematical statement saying that the set of numbers that goes through 5 has asymptotic density > 1/2

#

but who knows if that's true

twilit ibex
#

ahh...

#

Didn't think about that. In fact, I had heard about the zeta function, but I didn't know its connection to primes.

#

This is actually very interresting...

sage summit
#

that's uuuh pretty irrelevant to collatz

twilit ibex
#

Yeah, but at this point I don't care so much about proving the actual conjecture. I just like figuring out what makes it go like it does

#

or what it tells us about numbers

sage summit
#

ah well I am sad to admit that I have found absolutely nothing of worth when I thought about those questions

twilit ibex
#

For example, if each new odd integer in the inverse function is a branch, and the even number it stems from is its stem.

You can figure out what number the next branch will have by summing up the branch with its stem.

#

Really?

#

I mean, I haven't started uni yet so I might just be fascinated by all maths. But I've found some very cool patterns

#

Its very simple, because 3 is the lowest non-even prime and 2 is in half of every number. So there are a lot of intuitive discoveries or what you might call them.

#
  • but back to the original question.

Do, again, have any idea why 5 is so comparatively special?

So far the only thing I've found is that 5 is the very first branch, except for 3 itself.

sage summit
#

it just so happens that besides the 1-2-4 cycle, the only ways to get there is 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> ... or 32 -> 16 -> 8 -> ... and that 5 or 32 split is the first one

#

the first one of many splits

twilit ibex
#

Oh,

But 32 isn't a split.

1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 ->32
*5 -> 10->20....
*3......

Literally all numbers will have to pass through either. But there are no primes on the first branch.

I am thinking more of the intrinsic properties of 5.

Like 3 + 2 = 5, which are the denominators (I assume there is another name for that?) of the function.

Or 5 = 1 + 2^2, which looks a bit like a complex number.

sage summit
#

then replace all of my 32 with 16

twilit ibex
#

Wait

sage summit
#

why do you think there are no primes on 32's branch

twilit ibex
#

So... More numbers pass through 5, than any of the branches that have a stem in the original 1->2->4 branch...?

#

Well, if every odd number denotes a new branch, and the even number it came from a stem.

Then the first branch is just 1*2^n, which as you might recognize will only contain even numbers.

#
  • but was my first question correct?
sage summit
#

but it still has lots of splits

twilit ibex
#

Because that would be very weird

#

Yes, but they are new branches

#

You see, in the inverse function, if you get an odd number twice you will reach 1

sage summit
#

there are still primes that won't go through 5

twilit ibex
#

Yes

#

There are

#

but did you say that more will go through 5 than not?

#

That would be quite interesting

sage summit
#

yes I said that we can observe something like that

twilit ibex
#

Wow

sage summit
#

but I can't actually prove it

twilit ibex
#

Nono

#

Do you have any papers or data of some sort?

sage summit
#

nope
