hey
so i have
ln(760/x) = 1.1696
and i know that the final answer is 269
but idk how to do that without like a google calculator
how do i use a regular calculator do to that ?
well atleast i think its 1.1696 i simplfied the right side as much as i could
the full problem is
ln(760/x)=22.1*1000/8.314 * (1/309-1/357)
<@&286206848099549185>
You have to wait at least 15 minutes before pinging helpers
yea but i did it cause 2 people in here now lol
Still, you need to wait
okay
No it's not
Do you know how to get rid of the ln to find x?
ln(760/x)=22.1x1000/8.314 (1/309-1/357) well for this the answer is 269 lol
wait
no
239****
and nope
i dont
i was doing the math on my phones calculator but on the test i will have to use a regular one so ima need to know how to cancel it lol
So how did you get 239 without knowing what to do?
well online calculator kinda just solves it for me
i just gota make sure i enter the correct info in the right spot and do the conversions
can you e bothside?
well thats what the calculator did but it got really complicated
like it had it as x= 760/e^8991591sqrte^1408409
do you still need help pancake
yes
e^lnx=x
yeah have you learned that you can raise both sides as the power to "e"
not really
agree with kody. you can e bothside and solve for x
yeah I cannot really find the proof for it, but think of it like this, the base of ln is e, this is really just log base e
yes
=tex e^ln(\frac{760}{x}) = e^1.1696
nothing is going correctly
760/x = e^(1.1696)
multiply by x to the other side, divide by the e^1.1696, that is a number, 760 over that number should be 269
yes 760/e^1.1696, but the answer you said is not equal
hmm i get 236 which is close to the answer
i gues 1.1696 is wrong lol but its close to the correctr answer which is 239 lol
thanks for the help
good

Hi! I'm struggling with a Laplace transform, and I think I'm on the right track. I've got to s^2Y(s) + 6sY(s) + 10Y(s) = G(s), but I'm not sure where to go from here.
try factoring out the common Y(s) on the left hand side
Ohhhhhh

This is for a practice test - I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do here
Am I just finding the definite integral from pi/3 and pi/6? The question is looking for max and min so I don't think that's what it is
is it possible to find a max and min of a definite integral? is that what it's asking for?
What do they mean by comparision property
I googled it
Didn't got anything relevant
Oh
I got it
Something like this - I don't really understand how this helps me though

<@&286206848099549185> sorry to bother
I don't really know how to word my question better
hello
It's basically asking you to find bounds of an integral
That's the area comparison rule or soemthing I forgot
Calculate everything in equation 4.4.24
But the founder of the sums themselves is here so
riemann
i'm guessing thats (3^1/2)/3 and 3^1/2?
riemann
so the two values are ((3^1/2)/3)(pi/3 - pi/6) (3^1/2)(pi/3 - pi/6) ?
(pi(3^1/2))/18 min
(pi(3^1/2))/6 max
I think?
idk how to use the fancy formatting
I hope that's it

Hey, can someone help me with proving the following as true or false:
where p is the nth prime
Deol
$\frac{(p)^2}{(p^2)-1}\le (2)^{(\frac{1}{2^n})}$
Deol
where p is the nth prime
So, for example, if we had n=2, p would be 3?
yes

Hello
could anyone help me?
These are my questions
I am in high school and this was a take home test and I have like no idea what to do or what to put down. As I was suffering from covid.
Its 1:28 am and I have 6 hours until school starts!
its due in 6 hours! so need like fast help
COVID might make you cough, but it doesn’t effect your problem solving ability or make your own homework others
So you better select just one question then ask it
only 1 okay.
ill come back
What is this type of math called?
Im gonna watch YouTube tutorials
Alright this is the question I need help with.
I don’t know what it’s called, I just know how to solve this problem
3y+x-6=0 letting x or y be zero respectively you can find two points on it:(6,0) and (0,2) draw the line connecting those two points on your diagram, call it L1
Line 1?
Whats this type of math called?
I don’t know. I didn’t learn elementary math in English. Then the region you are asked to find is (below or on L1) intersection (above L2)
Yeah, English is my foreign language
I understand okay.
And I don’t think it even worth a name…
is there some sort of calculator that could solve this?
? I don’t see any calculation going on here
Yeh nvm im brain dead

can someone help me with this question?
so you're looking for "1st is not defiective and 2nd is not defective and 3rd is not defective"
there's no alternative order that you'd miss with this calculation
selecting 3 random items is always equivalent to pulling one item at a time
(without placing it back of course)
or you can divide accepted 3-choices by total 3-choices, or you can treat it as taking 3 "top cards" and count permutations of the deck that would make you avoid the defective one
Can you provide the working? I am still not quite sure
no sorry
@rustic crest Has your question been resolved?
Consider 3 slots
— — —
You have to pick the items in a way such that none of them are defective
Meaning the first one you pick must not be defective (9/10)
Second one you pick must not be defective (8/9)
Third one you pick must not be defective (7/8)
Got it?
Oh I got it now, thanks

another quick question
the graph is obviously vertically compressed, and i got the answer just fine but
why don't we just do something like -1/3 to represent the stretch?
Because -1/3 not only represents the stretch, but also flip horizontally because of the negative sign.

🙃 completely stuck on this one
seems to be homogeneous, positive, and satisfy the triangle inequality
Yes
where is the problem
you also missed one requirement
did I?
Yep. positive definiteness
ok, I've never heard of that xD
haha
the lecture notes for this course give this as the requirements for a norm
it's the second part in (i)
I always just grouped them into the 1 thing
it's fine to do that. but you shouldn't forget to prove the second part
nonetheless, I'm struggling to get a function with ||f || = 0 but f =/= 0
I don't think there is one in this case
because the norm is indeed positive definite
you should just prove that | |f| |=0 implies f=0
so there's a function for which f = 0 but | | f | | =/= 0?
no the negation of positive definiteness is | |f| |=0 but f != 0
there is none
Yep there are functions like this
only thing I could think of for that was like f = 0 for all x except x = 0.5, where f(x) = 1 or smth
but then that's not regulated, right?
do you mean here by regulated continuous ?
because regulated has a very complicated definition
regulated = a series of step functions uniformly converge to it, right?
no, the question says R[0,1] which is regulated functions
Yep I think so
If this is the case then f as you define it above may be regulated
and a series of step functions can't uniformly converge to f(x) = 0, f(0.5) = 1
why not
because at x = 0.5, the difference between the step function and the actual function is gonna be 1
so it doesn't satisfy this
Isnt your norm an integral? So a function that is symmetric about 1/2 will do the trick?
Sorry, antisymmetric
Ah I see, but maybe there is trickier choice of the step function. I know for a fact that a regulated function can have as much as a countable set of discontinuities
analysis is tricky
oh hmmmm
integral of the absolute value of the function
Yeah true
if it were just integral tho, you'd be right
aight fair enough lol
I found an example here with proof
but isn't that f_n
I don't get their proof
they're changing their function to make it less than epsilon
which function u mean
f
but it's still 1/n, we just need a N after which we have 1/n < epsilon
archimedian property or something
hmmm
I don't get why it's ok to just change f to make some converge to it
like surely f needs to be fixed
no we defined f(n) as equal to 1/n for every natural number n. That's the fixed definition of f
I guess
oooooh
tricky example they have here
ty 🙃

For a stake of 1€ you can spin the wheel of fortune twice.
If the yellow field appears both times, you get paid 2€. If the red field appears once and the yellow field appears once, you get 1€. Otherwise nothing is paid out.
For the wheel it's:
1/4 chance it's yellow
3/4 chance it's red
Now what's the chance that you lose 1€?
(3/4)^2, no?
that would give 9/16
but if you go with P("lose 1€") = 1 - P("winning 1€") - P("winning 0€") that gives 11/16
P("Yellow, Yellow") = (1/4)² = 1/16
P("Yellow, Red or Red, Yellow") = (1/2) * (1/4) * 2 = 1/4 = 4/16

I have this system(z transform difference equation) where I'm doing a step response on the difference equation y(n) = x(n-1) +2x(n-2)+0.2y(n-1) - 4y(n-2), since it's n-2, I have to go back twice and use that older value. Since that value is basically 0, this should be correct for 10 samples right?

The first light flashes on every multiple of 22 seconds.
The second light flashes on every multiple of 16 seconds.
Ohh so the common multiple
Yes, that's right.
So
22 -> 2×11
16 -> 2⁴
Lcm = 2⁴×11 = 176
Yes, that's right.
You take the highest of the two powers of each prime factor.
GCD is the lowest of the two powers of each prime factor.
And LCM times GCD is their product.
Since the lowest plus the highest power for a prime is the same as one of the powers plus the other that you get in the product.
Wait what 
Well, for the LCM:
2¹ · 11¹
2⁴ · 11⁰
LCM = 2⁴ · 11¹
For the GCD:
2¹ · 11¹
2⁴ · 11⁰
GCD = 2¹ · 11⁰
For the product:
2¹ · 11¹ · 2⁴ · 11⁰
Which is just the rearranged version of the LCM times the GCD:
2⁴ · 11¹ · 2¹ · 11⁰
The reason why is because LCM takes the highest power for each factor and GCD takes the lowest power for each factor, and the highest and the lowest will include the first and the second powers for each factor.
GCD will be 2¹ × 11⁰?
Yes.
Oh ok
First and second power for each factor?
Yes, the power from the first and second numbers.
So, LCM will get one power, GCD the other.
And when you multiply the LCM and GCD, you get both powers multiplied together just like you'd get in the product of the first and second numbers.
So LCM×GCD=1ST-NUMBER×2-NUMBER
Woah that works
Yeah, it's like this. The product of the two is:
(2⁴ · 11⁰) · (2¹ · 11¹)
Then, the LCM gets the highest power and the GCD gets the lowest power:
[2⁴ · 11¹] and [2¹ · 11⁰]
Notice that that just rearranged the factors.
And if you multiply some things, you're allowed to rearrange them and get the same answer.
It's kind of a tangent, sorry.
If you're good at getting GCDs from reducing fractions, you can get the LCM from the GCD.
No problem.

Does anyone have experience with angled kinematics? I'm making a launcher that launches a ball in the air & has to reach a target. I need help modelling an equation that can calculate what angle the projector has to shoot to reach target knowing that the distance to target can be different to the previous launch, i know its al SUVAT equations, but it involves angles which i'm not too sure about, so any help would be appreciated, i have a fully drawn model, so its easy to understand what i need help with.
Ball weight is 0.35kg
This is a good start

or if you prefer video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NLzuURxFwY
This video tutorial provides the formulas and equations needed to solve common projectile motion physics problems. It provides an introduction into the three types of graphs / trajectories that you will see in a typical projectile motion problem.

Oooo that is perfect!!! Thank you!!
Also If my weight is 0.3kg , how do i find the initial velocity, i'm guessing it starts with f=ma , but i'm not sure if i need to take into account angles & g etc.
Reason i ask is because most projectile motion videos tell you the initial velocity of ball, wheres i only know the initial force that the launcher acts onto the ball for it to fly + i know the ball weight
@tacit arch
@sweet dune Has your question been resolved?
you could use momentum-impulse if you know the time the force is being applied
because its difficult to say if you only have force, we know its not a continuous force, so there needs to be some time frame where it is applied, the longer its applied the higher the velocity
what if we assumed time = 0 ?
that is impossible, bc if time of force applied is 0 then there was no force applied

You have 300 people with disease X, which causes a 100% chance of death. Of the 300, half have genetic marker A and half have genetic marker B. You have 100 doses of a drug. For people with marker A it cuts the risk of death to 10%. For people with marker B it only cuts it to 50%.
How many of the 100 doses do you give to people with genetic marker B? Give reasons
@odd viper Has your question been resolved?
@odd viper Has your question been resolved?
what are you supposed to do? minimize deaths? maximize deaths?
It's a bit related to ethical reasoning too
Depends upon you how many you give to B and how many left would you give to A but you have to give ethical reasons for your choice of number of doses you'd give to A and B respectively

you just draw these
i mean and then fill in the rest
but it should be clear
you dont have to be careful about the other points i mean

Can anybody explain what this means? I generally do not struggle with summation notation, but for this example I'm having trouble.
What is giving you trouble with this particular example?
So if x = 3, then
1
+
1 + (2)
+
1 + (3) + (3)^2
I'm trying to understand what LHS of the equation is saying
You give it a number, x, and it adds together the powers of that number from 0 to n-1
Sorry maybe it might have been more appropriate to say the middle of the equation, although they're linked.
The left hand side is just shorthand notation for the middle
This also describes the middle
Yes but I'm not completely sure if I know how it turns out, I've given my example for the summation upto 3, and if this is correct then I understand it.
iCaird
Literally just replace x with 3 everywhere
That seems a bit unworkable for me. How would I evaluate any case?
Sorry all the induction questiosn I've came across so far have been much simpler
I can't really evaluate something with the exponent n-1
You can also pick your n
So for whatever n I choose?
So if I were to pick x = 3, the summation is simply considering the sums of the base 3 and upto an arbitrary exponent?
And this is unlike something like $ \sum_{i=1 }^{n }x^2 = \frac{(k+1)(k+2)}{2} $ where it considers all the natural numbers
Well that didn't work well
I guess my main question would be, do I have to consider the sum of the other integers alongside with this?
Like if I pick x = 3 then do I have to have $1 + 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 + 3^4 + \cdots + 3^{n-2} + 3^{n-1}$ + x =2 + x = 1?

@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?
Okay to try and use what I've read, the i is the index, n-1 is the upper limit of the summation, so the i goes all the way through 0 to n-1, so the powers start from 0 and ends up to n-1.
I am able to choose the upper limit of the summation, since the upper limit is n-1, I will choose n=4 to get the upper limit I want to evaluate, which is 3.
If the upper limit is 3, then it becomes 1 + x + x^2 + .... + x^{n-1}
+ 1 + 2 + 2^2 + ... + 2^{n-1}
+ 1 + 3 + 3^2 + ... + 3^{n-1}
because my understanding of the upper limit tells me I have to repeat the process the amount of times the upper limit's value is
However this is just wrong, I'm guessing.
There is no repeating of the process
The upper and lower limit are just telling you how many things we will add together
If the lower limit is 0 and the upper limit is 3, we will add 4 things together
In the example you gave we would the 4 things added together be $1+x+x^2+x^3$
iCaird
And we are free to pick what x we want to evaluate this sum at
Is there any relationship between the upper limit and the x I want to pick?
No
Okay
n is the number of terms in your summation . x is the base of all the terms
So it's saying that
$1+x+x^2+x^3+.... +n times$ = $\frac {x^n-1}{x-1}$ isn't that all
Frustrated Cat
There could be, but they don't have to be(I wouldn't worry about that)
If you're still confused here's a short Khan academy video

Why is the summation limit n-1? It seems a little pointless
(Sorry the question is a bit off topic)
It's convention for that formula, so that the identity on the right hand side looks nicer
It's a good question
We often label things a certain way to make equations and identities neater
Okay I think I've gotten it, can you ask me a question to make sure?
Sure, try writing out $\sum_{i=1}^{6} ix$
iCaird
i_x? i'm thinking is what you wanted to write
No I changed it
This is a specific case
Okay my attempt would be $ i_1 x + i_2 x + i_3 x + ... + i_6 x$
Like how else can you write that?
$x + 2x + 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x$
iCaird
Oh okay, that should have been obvious.
I think I'll just try deal with this another time, when I'm a bit more clear headed. Thank you for your help. @worn fox

Please can someone
Tell me if I solved for the correct Cartesian equation
8i-7j+k
This is my answer. Thanks
That's the cross product, you're on the way there but there are more things you need to do.
Try to use the equation $\vec{r}\cdot \vec{n} = d$
Kimbomanjaro
You have just found $\vec{n}$
Kimbomanjaro
Do you know what a dot product of two real vectors is?
It is when you multiply their components
Yeah, and add them together. So if $\vec{r}=\begin{pmatrix} x\y\z \end{pmatrix}$ then $\vec{r}\cdot\vec{n}=8x-7y+z$
Kimbomanjaro
Plugging in any point on the plane will give you d, which finishes your cartesian equation for the plane.
@tropic veldt Has your question been resolved?
I multiply them add them together? Please explain further, I am confused
v1=[1, 2,3]
v2=[4, 5,6]
v1.v2=1* 4+2* 5 +3* 6
Ohh thank you
I see now
So I find the dot product of u and v then is that the Cartesian equation?
No, try taking the vector you found earlier, 8i-7j+k, and finding the dot product with both u and v. You may notice something.
So for $n=8i-7j+k$, compute $n\cdot u$ and $n\cdot v$
Kimbomanjaro
Thank you, I’ll try that and get back to you
I got 0 for both of them so cross product of vectors times a vector equals 0
How do I then find the Cartesian equation please?
Do I times it by (x,y,z)?

Idk how to find the length of OA without knowing the angle of O
I've tried
But the methods I thought don't work
So I'm asking now...
we don't need angle O
we know the relation between the circle formed from CD and the circle formed from AB
AD?
Ok
2 pi radius?
I don't understand.. a linear graph?
yeah
what this means is
if the radius is doubled (i.e. goes from 2 -> 4)
the answer that you will get is also doubled
so let's say f(r) = 2 * pi * r
the reason I'm saying this is because we know the relation between radius and circumference in this question
(I haven't learned f)
okay forget that part then
focus on this
that means the reverse is true
if the cirumference (the answer) is doubled, that means the radius is also doubled
does that make sense?
Yes
so what do you think we would do from here
So AB is like the circumference of CD?
think of it as a circle segment
U mean sector?
terrible drawing but something like this
sure
so if the circumference has doubled, what has happened to the radius?
no no youre right
thats perfect
so from here, we know that OC is half of OA, right?
Yea
so do you know what OC is, assuming CA is 9?
exactly
great job
Thank u so much
that was all you

If anyone can solve 24b, he/she is certified high IQ
<@&286206848099549185>
why ping
What have you tried?
ACF is 90
i can see why you're having trouble with math
^
Ty now I can go to a shop and say lemme show you how 100 dollars is 3 dollars
yeah what have you tried
I tried all types of angles in every single shape
I still can’t find the approach to it
what
Prop of rectangle
Any prop of triangle is possible
Ffs it’s a difficult question and I can’t grasp where the hell I can even start to figure it out
Talking about 24b
Yes I do but If I can’t even guess where I can get the solution, no properties will help
Shit not even the helpers know how to solve it 😭😭😭
So ABCD and CEFG are congruent rectangles, does that mean CF = CA? And why?
@fallow zealot
CF = CA because they both have the same angles and same length therefore they are congruent triangle?
iz easy
Yes. CF = CA because of congruent triangles
think of equalateral triangle
Well it wasn’t easy until I though of congruent triangle
Look at the question
?
Check out pinned message
?????
Its like I have been learning multiplications and suddenly there’s a question that requires division to solve
Alright, so you know congruent triangles.
∠ACF = ∠FCB + ∠BCA
The question is what is the sum of ∠FCB and ∠BCA? (in degrees)
actually i forgot if equilateral triangle means all 3 sides are equal or just 2
i mean the just 2
90
Good. And we have ∆ACF where CA = CF. This means that ∆ACF is an ... triangle
👍
What type of triangle of ∆ACF? Is it isosceles, equilateral, or scalene? @fallow zealot
You already wrote an.
👀
That is the biggest clue ever, wait.... Equilateral starts with "e"
So, what the hell am √(-1) doing here?
Isosceles
Great. Because ∆ACF is isosceles, ∠CFA = ∠FAC. And remember that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180°. And that's it

You can perform these commands in #bots or message the texit bot itself. You don't need to blow up this channel like that

first factorised f(x) to get roots
then i differentiated and subbed in the roots
to get the gradient
oh the normal
nvm i know what i did wrong i only found the tangent
i see your point. in this case, since OP has confused tangent with normal, so the bot's calc results illustrate that OP isn't going the right direction.

ok
What do you suspect was wrong?
since this is a universaly quantified statement, i cant assume for one variable only right
I think your proof holds just fine, your choice of c was arbitrary aside from the hypotheses holding
okay so for universal i should assume for an arbitrary, for existential i should do proof by example?
just asking because i have an exam tomorrow
Yeah, if you are asked to show something 'for all' then pick an arbitrary one that is in the collection you want (I.e. if you want to show something for all real numbers, you generally will start with 'let $x \in \bR$'). For existence of something, you want to try to construct an example. Often times you may be asked to show 'existence and uniqueness'; to do uniqueness you almost always just assume you have two that do what you want and show they are the same.
Kimbomanjaro
okay that makes sense thank you. can i show you a proof im unsure how to do its proof by cases for absolute value
Sure, I can give it a look at least.
it's problem (e)
Think about what the modulus is, it's telling you that a is a distance $|a|$ from the origin (basically by definition). Thus this means that if $|a| \leq b$ then $a\geq -b$. If you have studied open balls, then you could maybe phrase it in terms of those by saying there is an open ball of radius b around x (by definition of 'modulus' as a metric on $\bR$).
Kimbomanjaro
oh ok i haven't studied open balls yet but you're saying i can just use the definition itself to prove this?
Yeah, perhaps you could take modulus of both sides in the equation $|a| \leq b$, then you know that $|b| \geq |a|$, and apply that to -b and -a.
Kimbomanjaro
okay that makes sense thanks so much for the help
yeah im still doing some more ill open another channel if i need help thank you
Sounds good, best of luck :)

Been trying for quite a while
I think it will be linear in some variables but not others. But regardless, to change the subject to h, you can multiply both sides by h, then divide both sides by (s - t/3).

ooo help 0
anyways
heres the problem
heres my solutions so far
a) (2x +5)(2x-5)
b)
so i factorized 2x^2 - x - 10 to (2x-10)(x+1)
i then have
(2x+5)(2x-5)
(2x-10)(x+1)
now usually there would be a common numerator and denomenator so you could cancel them out but either my process so far has been wrong and i have got wrong values orrr there is another step i am missing
"what you have is 2x^2-8x-10"
what do you mean by this?
i think that 2x^2-x-10 factorizes to (2x-10) (x+1)
from what i got is that where i went wrong
i used pairs 2, -10 (to multiply to -20 but add to 1) instead of 4 and -5
ill remember that its HIGHEST common factor

Can i have help
Looks like you did everything
But i i am pretty sure i am right
Yeah but some of them don’t match
Let me erase the ones
that i’m confused
about
A good tip, look at the units
For example, the last one, everything is in terms of inches and miles yet you picked an answer that was in cm
Does that make sense to use an answer of cms if you were given inches and miles?
2.54 cm in 1 inch
Create a proportion, this entire page looks like it's about that concept
That's why I was saying look at the units
Wait what would be the answer for this
If 1 unch = 1.4 miles
Inch*
How many miles would be 1 inch?
So 1.4 into 1.4
@wary stream
1 inch equals 1.4 miles meaning for every inch it's 1.4 miles
Yes
But how would i solve
1.4 inches
= how many miles
?
@wary stream
Would it be 1.4x1.4
Make a ratio
You have 1 inch per 1.4 mile so that's 1 in/1.4 mi
You have 1.4 inches per how many miles
Then you solve it
i don’t know how to solve it

K so first of all the question says "AT LEAST" 3 bowlers
Second if you want to do it your way, aka by calculating 3 bowlers, 4 bowlers and then 5 bowlers, it cannot be 12C8
Once you pick 3 bowlers from 5, you cannot pick anymore bowlers so you have to select remaining players from 10 people
So its (5C3 * 10C8)/(15C11) for when 3 bowlers are selected
But you need to consider cases for when you have 4 bowlers and 5 bowlers
so your total probability is actually (5C3 * 10C8)/(15C11) + (5C4 * 10C7)/(15C11) + (5C5 * 10C6)/(15C11) = 12/13
but this is usually way harder to calculate compared to how its done in your book
