i tried it a few times and im getting wrong answers
try squaring both sides
no
i can see what you tried to do,
but you didn't do it and/or write it properly
that would be an acceptable first step
that's also fine now
is still ok
keep going
putting everything to the right, subtract x and 5 from the left and right side
still currently ok
putting the radical to the left side to isolate it
keep going
alright, squaring both sides
keep going
and finally...the last step?
divide both sides by 100 and x = -1
yes
i see what went wrong before, i forgot to square the 10 too
efficiency can be improved a bit in the last few steps
instead of squaring both sides directly you could first divide both sides by 10 to get:
$$\sqrt{x+10} = 3$$
ℝamonov
even if you did do that and reached $100(x+10) = 900$,you could've then divided both sides by 100 first instead of distributing to get
$$x+10 = 9$$
ℝamonov
i see, always look for more efficient ways
alright one more question, since im not really confident in foiling radicals
everything except for the x cancels out?
well i guess you can write this squared
negatives cancels out, the surd cancels out too, i think
X
yes, the final result will be x
you can consider the commutative property of multiplication to get:
$$\underbrace{-1 \cdot -1}{1} \cdot \underbrace{\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x}}{x \text{ by definition}}$$
ℝamonov
yea, i would have been stuck for a quite a bit of time if it wasnt for ramonov
i didn't do that much
i think its you confirming my steps being right, then myself explaining
yea, the squaring both sides confused me
ill just divide both sides first next time
but thanks man

The notes to the drawings are in German.
This question is related to probability.
You have a dice with the letter A on one side, the letter B on 2 sides, and the letter 3 on three sides. You throw three times. What is the probability of rolling three different letters?
The above diagram is from my lecturer and I don't quite understand how I can put everything together in my head. Without the probabilities (i.e. just with letters which have an equal chance of being drawn) I would have thought the answer would be 6/27 = 2/9. 6 here would be 3! (permutation with no repetitions) and 27 would essentially just be 3 ^ 3 (so 3 possibilities in each round - A, B, or C - for 3 rounds). I'm unsure how to factor in the probabilities
sorry the notes also relate to another question (I am concerned with question b )
just to be clear, the answer should be 1/6
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
I'm being stupid
it comes out as the same thing#
so if they were equal probability
((1/3)^3) * (3!) = 6 /27

help pls
what have you tried?
try something
nah cant get a hint
this is a question about angles
yeah
hold up
its a square
which adds up to 360
90 each side
so the one next to x is 90 right
90+32 is 122
180-122 = 58
x is 58
58+32=90
Does x look like it's 58degrees
180-90=90
The angles you're calculating are for a triangle
yeah im tryna calculate x y and z
i jiust said there is a square which each corner is 90 whic hgave me the clue
Then why are you saying they're angles in a square
am i correct though?

I don’t understand most of these symbols, but I’m trying to isolate a particular part of this paper that shows the highlighted section. Can someone find that part in this short paper and explain just that part to me http://static.aligulac.com/method.pdf
<@&286206848099549185>
@spring harbor Has your question been resolved?
@spring harbor Has your question been resolved?
Anyone? 
@spring harbor Has your question been resolved?
What are the chances I close this one and ask in other channel and get an answer?
I mean… the paper you linked doesn’t even contain the section you screenshotted as far as I can see
Oh I see you’re not saying it does. You’re just saying it relates to the highlighted section. Let me look
Okay @spring harbor you there?
Each player is modeled as having four ratings:
- General skill level
- Skill against Terran
- Skill against Protoss
- Skill against Zerg
The latter three are the “matchup ratings” mentioned in the highlighted section
In the math, these last three are normalized, in the sense that they add up to zero
If a player had positive matchup ratings against all three races, then that really just means their general skill level (1) should be increased. By analogy, imagine you rate 100 women, all blondes or brunettes, on attractiveness from -5 to 5 (instead of 1 to 10). Let’s say your average score for blondes was 4.0 Oh, so you have a bias for blondes! Not so fast. If your average score for Brunettes is 4.4 then you actually have a negative bias for blondes. In that case I say “look… you just think all women are attractive.” Your general rating for women is (4.4+4.0)/2 = 4.2, and your matchup ratings are 4.4-4.2 = 0.2 and 4.0-4.2 = -0.2 for brunettes and blondes respectively. Notice these add up to 0. This is what it means for them to be normalized
Thus, rating categories 2,3,4 represent the “bias” in your skill against each race
While rating category 1 represents the average of your skill against the three races — hence “general rating”
When it says the rating adjustments are not independent of each other, it means for example that when it reads data that says the player does worse against zerg, that influences mostly their Zerg skill rating, but it also influences their general skill rating, since every bad performance, against any race, is also a reflection of general skill
@spring harbor hope that helps
Yes
Ok I don’t really get it entirely
Doesn’t the average of them make the more than average parts equal the less than average parts
Yes I see how I made that unclear! The general skill rating is NOT the average of the three matchup ratings.
Let’s say you play against 10000 people. Your win/loss ratios are 0.80,0.67,0.89 against Terran, Zerg, Protoss
With me so far?
I will first continue my message, and then respond to the great point that you just mentioned
So general win/loss, averaged across the races, is (0.8+0.67+0.89)/3 = 0.79
This corresponds to your general skill level
Note this is not the same formula they use. They don’t just use win/loss ratios. But the idea is the same
Yea I get it
Then your matchup ratings are the deviations from the average: 0.80-0.79, 0.67-0.79, and 0.89-0.79 for Terran, Zerg, Protoss respectively. I.e. they’re 0.01, -0.12, and 0.1. These don’t quite add to zero only because I rounded earlier
Now to the point you made before
When it says “the matchup ratings must have mean equal to the general rating” it’s actually lying to you a bit
When it says that’s it’s referring to the numbers 0.8, 0.67, 0.89
Before they were normalized by subtracting the average
This equation here says that the (normalized) matchup ratings sum to zero, which of course means their average is zero
Does that make sense?
Yes
But I’m still uncertain how changing one, I.e, blonde changes the other (brunette)
Like what if you play more games the 0.8 and 0.89 stay the same but you get better in one and bring it to 0.75
How would that affect the score for the 0.8 and 0.89 matchup
That’s a great question. Let me see the math
Because I’ve said it doesn’t and a friend said it does according to the image I shared here
I’ve personally noticed that the rating of other matchups are independent but the text implies otherwise
Okay so here’s the answer.
The raw skill levels against the races (0.80, 0.67, 0.89) are completely independent of each other, as you would hope.
The normalized skill differences, call them t,z,p must add to 0. So if you win a bunch of games against Terran, t increases. So for t,z,p to still add to 0, z,p must decrease. This is because t,z,p are relative skills. It doesn’t mean anything to be relatively good against terrain, unless you’re comparatively bad against zerg and Protoss.
“But what about independence??” You ask. “Isn’t the paper making a mistake here?”
There is no mistake. The paper is not implying that winning against Terran makes you worse against Zerg.
What you have to understand is that the absolute Zerg performance is equal to your general performance PLUS your Zerg performance. So when you win all those Terran games, your relative/normalized Zerg score goes down, but your general skill goes up.
So to apply all of this, if you lose a bunch of Terran games, this will not influence the model’s prediction for the chance that you win a Zerg game.
@spring harbor hope that makes sense
Conceptually, there is no reason to have a general skill rating, when you could just have skill ratings for each race. The general skill rating is redundant.
Mathematically and algorithmically, having a general skill rating just amounts to shifting the origin of your coordinate system to lie on the mean of the data. This allows the skill levels of Terran, Zerg, Protoss to be analyzed as deviations away from your average performance, and makes the math work easier. The “relative skills” are then the coordinates against each race relative to this new origin. These are only for the math to be easier. But ultimately the performance against each race is handled independently
That makes sense
But I can’t help but feel the wording is not accurate
From their side
And sorry for the late response I had to take a fluid mechanics exam at 3
The issue I have is that at the bottom of the screenshot (posted again for reference) it says if you underperform against other races your Terran rating will decrease
And this is what I thought about it to try to make them both true
“If you lose a bunch against z and p, but win a bunch against T in the same time frame (usually a tournament or if you play 2 in a day) your T rating will not raise as much as it should only given the data for T, Not that it will decrease absolutely, but that it will decrease relatively to what the original increase would be”
And if that’s not accurate then I think there’s something wrong from either you or aligulacs wording maybe

Given that a,b,c is real number, log(a)=1.1, log(b)=2.2, log(c)=3.3
choose the correct options
1.a+c=2b
2.1<a<10
3.1000<c<2000
4.b=2a
5.a,b,c is geometric progression
First I assume a=2,b=4,c=8
So loga=0.301, logb=0.602, logc=0.903
1.a+c=2b
=>log(a+c)=log(2b)
=>log(10)=/=log(8)

@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
Ya, you would get the max point I think
You can't get the min point of that graph from 0 to 1 with that though since it isn't a stationary point
But you can tell that as x increases, the y value decreases
After the max point
So basically the min point would be the greatest x value within that domain

h
I got the first differential equation but idk how that becomes the second for the final answer?
also why does h=20m when t→ ∞
notice how the denominator changes?
it's got a e^(t/5)+1 at the top, and a 1+e^(-t/5) at the bottom
so you can try dividing both numerator and denominator by e^(t/5)
doesn't that make it 1? because t/5-t/5 =0 and e^0 =1
sure, you're dividing both numerator and denominator by the same thing, and this doesn't change the fraction
But that's still a different answer to the final answer
Wait no I was wrong, but I don't know what actually happens when you divide everything by (e^t/5)/ (e^t/5)
I keep getting 1 but that's definitely wrong

Evaluate the lim[ln(x^2+2x+2)] /x as x approaches +infinity
What facts do you know about limits involving logarithms ?
Limits of x.ln(x) as x approaches 0
lnx/x as x approaches +infinity
And limits of composite functions
<@&286206848099549185>
I see
Okay, here's a question of gut feeling
when x gets very large, what is x²+2x+2 approximately equal to?
Infinity?
when x gets large, not infinite
I'm not asking about the limit, just an expression that's close enough to the actual value of x²+2x+2
An equivalent, in other words
(hint : what is the fastest between x², x and a constant?)
Wdym what is the fastest?
What grows the fastest
Oh x^2
Yeah
So would you agree that the other two terms become quickly negligible in comparison?
Yeah
We'll see how to make this formal in just an instant, but can you solve the problem if you replace x²+2x+2 by x²?
Yup it's 2*0=0
Correct
Now, this is an extremely common trick with polynomials, and sums of functions growing at different rates in general
But i need to prove it though
You can factor the largest term from the polynomial
so, x²+2x+2=x²(1+2/x+2/x²)
We have x² times a term that tends to 1 as x→∞
Well, we can turn that product into a sum with the logarithm
Hence, ln(x²+2x+2) = ln(x²(1+2/x+2/x²)) = ln(x²)+ln(1+2/x+2/x²)
Divide by x, and this time you'll have no trouble
Keep this in mind whenever you stumble upon any limit problem with polynomials
You can factor the term of highest degree and be left with something more easily workable

err, this might seem very dumb but
but here's my question
-Change the following statements using expressions into statements in ordinary language.
(For example, Given Salim scores r runs in a cricket match, Nalin scores (r + 15) runs. In ordinary language – Nalin scores 15 runs more than Salim.
(a) A notebook costs ₹p. A book costs ₹3p.
(b) Tony puts q marbles on the table. He has 8q marbles in his box.
(c) Our class has n students. The school has 20n students.
(d) Jaggu is 2 years old. His uncle is 42 years old and his aunt is (4z – 3) years old.
(e) In an arrangement of dots there are r rows. Each row contains 5 dots.
a) a book costs 3 times more than a notebook.
b) Tony has 8 times more marbles in his box than on the table.
c) The school had 20 times more students than our class.
d) Question seems wrong, recheck if u entered this correctly....
e) 5×r = 5r = total dots -> The arrangement of dots contains 5 times the ammount of rows number of dots.

how come ratio test doesn't work here
It does
it does
just at a quick glance, the last finished fraction you wrote should go to 0 as n to infty
(3n+4)/(3n+1) -> 1 so you're "left" with -1 / (n+1) -> 0
oh wow
I didn't know you could divide your fraction up like that
limit of product = product of limits. If well defined that is
yeah I guess that makes sense in terms of the limit
right
can ias k another question?
you can
For 23 it's faster to say that the terms don't go to 0 (because you can say it's obvious as it increases starting from n = 9 and is positive)
sounds good
for this one im getting minus -1/11
finding the value ?
root test
yessir
the signs are already looking fishy, are you simply looking at absolute convergence ?
oh my God
I forgot about the absolute value
ok yeah so it's 1/11
and it converges since it's less than 1
yes
How did you show it was decreasing ?
i just did n+1 and compared
is it that obvious ?
no
you can try that
ill just rearrange the inequality
not that I actually went through it, but I see how it's done
that first rearrangement doesn't look any more obvious
maybe bring it back to some simple polynomials ?
so there's no sqrt anymore
see what I mean ?
you can
bring it back to something not new
that's the way
make the unfamiliar familiar until you're familiar with it

Same as the start. You also did an example. That's why I asked what your proof was. Because you showed none
I dno what that means
how do I even come up with one?
that n+1 is all we did in class
actually do math
do math for any n
that last fraction was almost where I went
Except you're not supposed to plug in numbers and check the value. That proves it for n=4, not for any n
good luck with that
nvm it actually works
if you know how to do it
though it's just my method with a little extra complexity, ngl
What's your method
why u gotta do such a tease man

just compare 2 degree 3 polynomials
get rid of the fraction instead of adding more stuff to it
who likes fractions when they can avoid them
You see how to do that at least ?
then try it
then remove them
-n^3
so what can you say ?
So ?
it can
we're just proving it decreases for the AST
You're trying to compare 2 polynomials. Just expand and see which one is greater
nah I can't. I'm running out of time sorry
gotta do integrals
and go to lab in like 20 mins
noon break in the US ?
better
to send or for practice ?
Cause if you want to do them all I feel like you should have started another day
practice
no I did.
I've done like uhh
150 so far
lol
im so bad at this
in how many days ?
past 2 weeks
that's a ton of exercises
we get like 10 or 15 practice questions a week (or 50 if any exercice is counted)
though some of them can easily take a few hours
and uhh it's not 150 for series alone
integrals + series
This is my last one
oh nvm
ill try the LCT
trivial because it's between 1/e^n and 3/e^n

and C[0, pi] is the set of continuous functions on [0, pi]
No, they're flat out orthogonal
Oh wait, let me actually read the question, that might help
Wait, is that true?
I thought all of them would be orthogonal
Let me work this out
It's between 0 and π and not 0 and 2π
That threw me for a loop
I proved all of these were mutually orthogonal of the inner product was over [0,2π] in a test recently, that's why i was confused

if i have (16^n)^-1/2
$(16^n)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
Herels
this ?
16^n = 2^(4n)
16^1/2 = sqrt(16) = 2²
so why isnt it 2^ (n + 4)
because if we * by another 2 for example
the power would add
not *
Because 16^n = (2^4)^n = 2^(4*n)
oh your allowed to seperate like htat ?
Yeah, because 16 = 2^4
okay thats cool

if you have b you can replace f(x) with the values
but how did you find b?
@untold aspen
yes
but now im stuck witgh finding the a
it's correct and you have the point (2, -1) is belonging to the graph
simplifying f(2)=-1 you will find 2a+b=2
from f(2)=-1
=> (a*2+b)/[(2-1)(2-4)]=-1
because the point (2, -1) is belonging to the graph @untold aspen
ohhh
tysmmm
so u basically used the point into the function
and then let b=0
right
yes
why wouldnt u plug it into the dervived one
is it bc the dervived one only helps with the slope?
YES

I have a probability question and I think I am overcomplicating it.
Specifically, question c.)
Here are my thoughts so far (would really like to learn the right approach):
So - I can't quite figure out how to add 2/3 and 1/2 probabilities to then multiply against the 38.4%
Is this permutation overthinking it?
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
I can't quite see how to calculate for P(A and B) to remove it from the equation.
The flip side, potentially is a Binomial Experiment?
(P(x) = \binom{n}{k}p^x q^{n-x})
MrMadium
(P(x) = \binom{3}{2}\frac{2}{3}^2 \frac{1}{3}^{1})
MrMadium
?
Then the result of P(x) is multiplied with the 38.4% already calculated about 2 people landing anywhere on the line.
<@&286206848099549185>
Thoughts? Feelings?
I suppose the only other thought would be if this is right, considering the nature of no replacement.
But that is somewhat already taken care of by the Binomial as we include the rate of failure as well, doesn't it?

Its a puzzling question, but i think the answer is just P(Jenny landing)*P(either of the others landing)
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
Oh of course. Talk about not seeing the forest through the trees.
Haha i like that idiom
So whats P(either of the others landing) ?
Its NOT the same as P(A or B)
I don't think we have that information.
Here is what we have thus far:
Each jumper has a probability of getting anywhere on the line = 0.8
Landing within AB of line = 0.5, Landing within BC of line 0.5
What I have calculated so far:
Probability of any two out of the 3 manage to land somewhere on the line = 0.384
Jenny is one of the jumpers, what is the probability of Jenny is one of only two that get on the line?
(For this, so far, I've done the Binomial as posted above = 0.4444 and then multiplied that with the chance of 2 getting anywhere on the line. 0.444 * 0.384 = 0.170666)
Final question:
What is the probability that two jumpers manage to land somewhere on the line, given that Jenny is one of them? (I've read that as a Bayes Theorem and used the spec from above).
This is the one that is the pincher.
Jenny is one of the jumpers, what is the probability of Jenny is one of only two that get on the line?
(For this, so far, I've done the Binomial as posted above = 0.4444 and then multiplied that with the chance of 2 getting anywhere on the line. 0.444 * 0.384 = 0.170666)
I think using Binomial takes into account the 2/3 and 1/2. However, now that I can see the forest through the trees, it could be:
2/3 + 1/2 - (2/3*1/2) * 0.384
Which is 0.83333
seems too complicated for me
we have the info
P(either A or B) = P(A or B not both) = P(A or B) - P(A and B)
P(A and B) - P(A or B) is the top one.
Which makes sense, it takes into account 2/3 + 1/2 sample space.
x = P(person landing) = 0.8, the answer should be x(x + x - x^2 - x^2) = 2(x^2-x^3) = 0.256
But does that take into account that the third person must not land on the line?
I feel like we need to be taking that into account, no?
Wait - I'm going to read your equation another 15 times.
It does
P(A or B) = 2x-x^2, P(A and B) = x^2, P(A or B not both) = P(A or B) - P(A and B) = 2x-x^2 - x^2
@fringe condor draw a venn diagram
Sorry @silver adder - had a job to get done.
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
It's really been bugging me about how to best think through the problem and come to a conclusion.
but surely this is the answer
you get the same if you consider P(2 people make it and jenny makes it)
2 out of the 3 ways they can make it, jenny makes it
then its 2/3 P(2 people make it) = 2/3 (3x^2 - 3x^3) = 2(x^2-x^3)
you might need to draw the venn diagram to see this is true

Would someone either prove or point me to a proof of the following please? $$ \lim_{n \to 0} (1 + n)^{\frac{1}n} = e $$
leadersheir
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
(1+n)^{1/n} = exp((1/n)ln(1+n))
that's.. not entirely clear
Can't you just say something like $$n = 1/(1/n)$$ so $$ \lim_{n \to 0} (1 + 1/(1/n)^{\frac{1}n} = e $$
centuryegg
are you alluding to (1 + 1/n)^n = e?
Yeah i think that good right?
but in that case, n goes to infinity not 0
the limit is $\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}n \right) = e$
leader
leadersheir
pardon?
check shetiscool because i need help
i believe the answer to your question would depend on the game logic.. it's not purely mathematical
expand using the binomial theorem, factor out terms similar to the following $\frac{1}n\left(\frac{1}n - 1\right) = \frac{1}{n^2}\left(1 -n\right)$ and substitute

Anyone wanna help me do a basic maths question? My dumbass is too stupid to understand it lmao
sure dude
so
you try to divide 2 by 5
but it doesnt work out
so we add a 0 to 2
to make it 20
now we divide 20 by 5
20 / 5 = 4
but then we have to remember that we added a 0
so for every 0 we added to the 2 we have move the answer back 1 place
meaning 4 becomes 0.4
try 2 / 25
Oop..
but we can do this one quick
so you multiply 2 and 12
2 x 12 = 24
then you subtract that from 25
25 - 24
1
0.5
and add that to 12
12.5
2x12.5 ?
yes
25 - 25 =0
that means we're done
so 25 / 2 = 12.5
you can do 2 / 25 now if you want or we can stop here
you sure the answer is 0?
so we add another 0
200
and now 25 goes into 200
8
0.08?
yes
nah man
I got an exam on the 9th
just practice a few more and you'll be good
I was gonna open 1 of these and try do a practice test, but idk what software to use lmao

What is the value of x?
@fallow charm can you see that it's just $x^{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{2}$?
Souradip Das
Why so
?
Because this is an infinite series
And if you consider this way.
It's just $x^{(x^x...)} = \frac{1}{2}$, and the thing in the bracket is also $\frac{1}{2}$, from the question itself.

Can someone please explain to me how to work out which one is an open subset of A?
define open subset
An open subset is for every $x\in [a, b]$ there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that $(x-\epsilon, x+\epsilon)$ is a subset of $[a, b]$.
lgargaro
I have written all the possible answers out in set notation
I mean
define
'An open subset of A'
It is currently unclear to me
a subset of A that is open in R? And no it isnt
but all of the possibilities contain an end point except c, but that contains points which aren’t in A
This is for topology
So I believe an open subset shouldn’t contain the boundary
I can't help until you clear this up
In particular you should look up what an open set in the subspace metric is
It is not what you wrote above
Okay, i’ll have a look
I may have misunderstood the definition but i have read it so many times it’s starting to get more confusing as time goes on 😩
Define for yourself the subspace metric
Then note with that definition what the open sets within that metric is
Then convince yourself the open sets within a subspace metric may not be considered open in the original metric
He seems don’t know how subset become a topological space…
I think, maybe, this theorem might work
Yeah so for example (2,3] is open in [1,3]
that’s still confusing though because how is the 3 included?
If you need an open set to intersect with A, then with the example you have just given [1, 3] intersected with (2, 3) (an open set) is just (2, 3) itself, is it not?
(2,4) intersection [1,3]
Ohh okay, so from my example, I can take any open subset of the Reals?
and use that to find an open subset for A?
Your example? Where?
X a topological space, A is a subset of X, B is a subset of A. B is an open subset of A iff B is intersection of U and A for some open subset U of X
here
Yeah there exists exact one open subset among those 4
You can write that one as U intersect A for some open subset U of R
It is a theorem that for a topology given by a metric the subspace topology coincides with the topology given by the subspace metric, namely Theorem 1 in Igargaro's notes
Thank you everyone, you have given me a lot to think about !
Hopefully i can work it out now with this
muchas gracias 🙏 😊
One last thing @oak perch, is U allowed to be a union of open subsets?
actually never mind…
I suppose it wouldn’t matter too much
okay, thank you kindly 🙏

if you take the sum of (m_i-mean) it will be equal to 0
if 150 was the true mean the sum would be equal to 0
no
if mean was 149 then because we are 1 off on every single term in the sum
and there are 52 terms
how much are we off?
52?
yes
why does this work
How does that make every term in the sum 1 off
where did that come from?
thought thats what we just found out
not what I said was it?
if sum was equal to -104 how many are we off on each term on avg?
2?
okay division

no
