No

alpine sable
#

what level math is this? High school, middle school?

low forum
#

Highschool algebra 2

#

But he just gave us this packet for honors

alpine sable
#

hmm.. my best guess is that theta prime refers to an angle that is congruent to theta

low forum
#

Oh I see but it is confusing since it just says given all the values of theta

#

yeahh

alpine sable
#

those angles would be 35, 35 + 360, 35 - 360, -35

low forum
#

woah whered u get that

alpine sable
#

and maybe there's a few more combinations

#

well, suppose you have an angle of 35 degrees, if the second hand of the angle goes all the way around itll end up in the same place

#

so angle 35 + 360 is congruent to angle 35

low forum
#

Ohhh

#

Yeah

alpine sable
#

and then if it goes all the way around the other way it's congruent again

#

so 35 - 360

#

35 - 720 would also work

#

35 + 720 not since it's outside of the given limit

low forum
#

Right because its saying 720 is greater than or equal to it okay

#

Do I make like a unit circle to show that

#

bc it wants me to show a diagram

alpine sable
#

yes, you can

#

I'm not sure if -35 counts though

#

might not depending on the definition of congruency for angles

low forum
#

Oh

#

It looks like it should

alpine sable
#

yeah, I think it's ok

#

so the answer would be 35, -35 and then adding and subtracting 360 and 720 from them

#

35 + 360 = 395, 35 - 360 = -325, 35 - 720 = -685
-35 + 360 = 325, -35 + 720 = 685, -35 - 360 = -395

#

these should be all the answers, unless I missed something

#

assuming the prime is referring to congruent angles

low forum
#

So like angle -35 tho where would I draw that like and i put 35 there

low forum
alpine sable
#

that symbol is called prime

#

'

low forum
#

Oooh

alpine sable
#

because there's one

#

this symbol is called second ''

#

because there's two

#

' sometimes means minute as wel

#

positive angles go counter clockwise

#

so negative angles go clockwise

#

-35 will be at the opposite of 35 clockwise

low forum
#

Ohh minute as well wow

#

Oh okay

alpine sable
#

it's best to mark your angles with circle arcs to show where they start and stop

low forum
#

like that?

alpine sable
#

no

#

Like this

#

they start from 0

#

35 goes counter clockwise

#

-35 goes counter clockwise

#

and add these markers I drew as well to help you keep track which angle is which

low forum
#

Ohhh'

#

okay that makes sense

#

yeah

#

Omg that makes so much sense the problem was so weird at first

alpine sable
#

Maybe also add arrows like this

#

and then 35 + 360 will go all to 35 and then all the way around

#

like this

#

I think you can figure out how to draw the remaining ones

Hello all. I had this shower thought yesterday and have been thinking about it ever since. Say you start with $1$, and there’s only two operations you can perform on $1$. You can double it or add one. Of course you can also apply those same operations to the result of whichever operation you applied before. What would be the most efficient (and by that I mean with less "steps"/operations) way to reach an arbitrary natural number $n$? The least efficient, of course, would be to iterate the $+1$ operation $n−1$ times. How would you approach this? Thanks.

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

this sounds really interesting

surreal sun
#

agreed ahah, i'd like to see the solution

alpine sable
#

I'm not sure if there's a generalized solution

surreal sun
#

well you should probably iterate at the beginning at then double it no ?

#

but 'till when

median dirge
#

I think there is a generalized solution

surreal sun
#

maybe python could help visualize

median dirge
#

It should go this way

#

If n is 1

alpine sable
#

supose n is a prime number

#

you can't get to it by doubling

verbal mural
median dirge
#

You can double till a feasible number

alpine sable
#

so the last step has to be adding for example

median dirge
#

And start adding 1

#

Yea

alpine sable
#

so maybe determine multiple algoriths depending on the numbers divisibility

surreal sun
verbal mural
alpine sable
median dirge
#

You have to do $2^m < n$ and then do $2^m+k(1) = n$

ocean sealBOT
#

Muhammad Hussaini

median dirge
#

m and k can be 0

#

Thats it

verbal mural
#

Like to get to 6, I think is a counter example to your method @median dirge

surreal sun
#

This problem probably has a name no ? would bet some mathematician thought about this too ahah

alpine sable
#

I feel like a tree diagram would work well to visualize this

verbal mural
#

1->2->4->5->6 is your way. But you can do 1->2->3->6 @median dirge

alpine sable
median dirge
#

Actually then

#

We should compare two ways

verbal mural
#

I say this cause I guessed your way too at first

median dirge
#

Wait we're seeing the most efficient way, right?

#

Hmm wait

verbal mural
#

Right

alpine sable
#

I thought maybe getting to the closest power of two that is also less than $n$ and iterating $+1$ from there could lead me somewhere, but there's probably some better approach.

ocean sealBOT
median dirge
surreal sun
#

would the best solution be to see if the number is even or odd ?
starting the problem by "the end"
if it's even, we know the last operation is double right ?
if it's odd we know the last operation is iterate 1

we can go like this until finding 1 probably ?

median dirge
#

$a + 2^b(c) = n$

verbal mural
#

What if you start backwards…half the number, then minus 1 to get to 1. That’s not the best but might be a more efficient method xD

ocean sealBOT
#

Muhammad Hussaini

median dirge
#

This looks more generalized

median dirge
#

This should fit into your assumption of 6 too

alpine sable
#

We're getting somewhere.

#

Even -> last operation is to double
Odd -> before last operation is to double.

#

Idk

surreal sun
#

yhea

verbal mural
surreal sun
median dirge
surreal sun
median dirge
#

In your case of 6, c is 3

#

b is 1

#

And a = 0

#

Looks like

#

If we can derive a relation between

#

a b and c

#

We can probably create some constraints for the supergeneral equation we just made

#

$a + 2^b (c) =n$

ocean sealBOT
#

Muhammad Hussaini

verbal mural
median dirge
alpine sable
median dirge
alpine sable
#

I mean, yeah, it sure can represent every natural, but is it compliant with the process?

verbal mural
#

And we can put it in Muhammad’s form too maybe

#

But yeah

surreal sun
alpine sable
#

So $a$ is the number of times $+1$ was used, $b$ is the number of times $\times2$ was used, but what about $c$?

ocean sealBOT
median dirge
#

c is if you started iterating before multiplying by 2

#

And then you multiply 2, b number of times

alpine sable
#

Ooh.

median dirge
#

So its like

#

Iteration before multiplication and iteration post-multiplication

#

That should include everything

#

Actually, you know what, we should discuss this question in a real good discussion channel

#

Is a great question!

alpine sable
#

Let us assemble a private group then.

#

Add me if you're interested.

surreal sun
median dirge
#

Oh wait.

surreal sun
median dirge
#

Yeah I think so

#

This whole thing

alpine sable
#

WAIT WAIT

#

I just figured it out.

median dirge
#

Should have some constraints

alpine sable
#

Two simple rules.

#

Start from $n$, if it's odd, subtract one, if it's even, divide by two.

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

Then you just deduce the optimal way..

surreal sun
#

we know

#

but how do you put that mathematically

alpine sable
#

Piecewise.

median dirge
#

Do I think it looks like the Collatz conjecture lol

alpine sable
#

Also reccurence relation

alpine sable
median dirge
#

Oh well the only thing is, this can be put in a form of a conjecture

#

3317's conjecture

alpine sable
#

365->364->182->91->90->45->44->22->11->10->5->4->2->1

median dirge
#

Is it the shortest pathway?

alpine sable
#

It seems to be, aye.

verbal mural
median dirge
#

But we can just write the steps

verbal mural
#

Yeah

median dirge
#

Because the general form will be way more complicated

surreal sun
verbal mural
#

It’s hard to like reverse it too lol. Idk what the rules going forward from 1 are

surreal sun
#

yeah

verbal mural
#

I mean we can always get all the steps going in reverse but just the rules for going forward idk

median dirge
#

Since the more we make it bigger, the more variables we put in and more we complicate it

alpine sable
median dirge
#

Wait now

median dirge
#

Lemme program this

#

Lemme program this and probably try to graph it.

alpine sable
#

May I add you, Muhammad?

median dirge
#

Do we have a good JS library for graphing?

#

You can

alpine sable
#

And Raspberry?

alpine sable
#

Or just use numpy.

verbal mural
alpine sable
#

Or I can use C++ and SFML.

median dirge
#

Thanks!

verbal mural
surreal sun
median dirge
#

Lol add Sam too if he wants

alpine sable
alpine sable
median dirge
#

There you go

#

They're open

alpine sable
#

Thanks.

median dirge
#

Welcome!

#

Hey guys Imma go for dinner! I'll be back

alpine sable
#

I'll be waiting, have a good meal.

verbal mural
alpine sable
#

Lol

verbal mural
#

i made this lol but it's only complete for the first 30 numbers

#

idk it's like the chains that you can go on

#

when you double

alpine sable
#

250716 -> 125358 -> 62679 -> 62678 -> 31339 -> 31338 -> 15669 -> 15668 -> 7834 -> 3917 -> 3916 -> 1958 -> 979 -> 978 -> 489 -> 488 -> 244 -> 122 -> 61 -> 60 -> 30 -> 15 -> 14 -> 7 -> 6 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1

verbal mural
#

so if n is on a color, you'd stay on that color going backward, until the very first one. then go to the left, and stay on the next color

alpine sable
#

Wow, this is amazing.

verbal mural
#

nice

alpine sable
#

I've coded it in C.

#

It'll test all unsigned long long int from 2 to (unsigned long long int)-1

verbal mural
#

i forgot how big that is but that's pretty big

#

lol

alpine sable
#

Literally 2 to $2^{32}-1$

ocean sealBOT
swift robin
#

hey, do you still need this, i think i may have an O(1) algorythm for this

surreal sun
#

O(1) ?!

alpine sable
#

Any help is appreciated.

swift robin
#

okay so lets start by visualising it in binary

alpine sable
#

The 3317-Hussaini-Raspberry-Sam-Isus conjecture.

verbal mural
wary stream
#

Sounds very similar to the Collatz Conjecture, if that was your goal

alpine sable
#

But this one wouldn't be hard to prove though.

verbal mural
#

doubling in binary is like multiplying by 10 in decimal

verbal mural
#

i didn't realize that until now lol

swift robin
#

there are two actions you can do to your binary number, you can multiply it by 2 (which is adding 0 to the end), or you can add 1
Now it makes no sense to add 1 if you already have 1 on the end because you could have achieved this easier by multiplying the numbers by twwo (we can prove this later on)

alpine sable
#

But I think he meant we could just represent any number as a sequence of bits. As if 0 meant "add one" and 1 meant "multiply by two", I guess.

#

Yep.

swift robin
#

So lets say you have number 6
in binary that is 110
you had to multiply by 2 two times and add 1 one time
So the solution should be = number of digits - 1 + number of 1s -1

verbal mural
swift robin
#

exactly

verbal mural
#

cool

swift robin
#

and this is always optimal because to get a 0 by adding 1s you have to do it at least twice with the exception of a starting 1

#

so this should be always optimal

swift robin
#

Yayy competetive programming has paid off

alpine sable
#

I'm just a noobie. 😦

swift robin
#

Dont worry, everyone is at some point

#

Practice makes it perfect

verbal mural
#

at the end

alpine sable
verbal mural
#

actually that makes sense

surreal sun
#

yeah the fastest way to go to big number is probably to double up directly

verbal mural
#

when you start at 1, what you do first affects the digits on the left in binary. so the biggest digits

surreal sun
#

instead of adding one, except for power of 3s

verbal mural
#

something similar to that yeah

swift robin
#

they dont go to 3 cause their binary representation should start with two 1s for that, no numbers here have that property

median dirge
verbal mural
#

rightt and i imagine the first digits won't change bc he's in the 9000s

median dirge
#

Actually

#

I rethought everything

#

You know

#

We can write the Collatz conjecture

verbal mural
median dirge
#

Not only for the 3n+1 and n/2 rule

#

But also for n+1 and n/2 rule

alpine sable
#

That makes sense.

median dirge
#

And the whole thing ends in a 2->1 loop

#

Instead of the normal 4->2-> 1 loop

#

Actually

#

This made me conclude

#

That we can maybe make every number end in a certain loop

alpine sable
#

||Proving it is cursed though...||

median dirge
#

By just altering one number in the Collatz conjecture

#

the 3

alpine sable
#

Yeah, it's just 1n+1 if you generalize it to an+b

swift robin
#

my man thats a wild way of solving this task xd

#

i would love to see it

median dirge
#

That is actually the best way at hand

#

So basically

#

The whole thing is not gonna have a pattern

swift robin
#

why do you think that?

median dirge
#

And how do you even arrive at the Converse of the Collatz conjecture

median dirge
alpine sable
#

Aye, but the point was just to find the shortest possible path from 1 to n, and that was accomplished

#

Maybe not with formality, but yea

alpine sable
#

Works for me

median dirge
#

But it left us with a greater question that we're gonna discuss in your server or in any other place haha

verbal mural
alpine sable
#

Yep, and if anyone is interested, just DM me.

median dirge
#

So basically

#

Lemme work out a little formula

#

For modifying the Collatz conjecture

swift robin
#

hold on what are we trying to solve now xd (im lost)

median dirge
#

Into a general conjecture for all natural numbers

#

We're done solving the help-question

#

Now what Im doing is modifying one of the results of the question using the Collatz conjecture

#

The purpose of the help channel is fulfilled I guess

verbal mural
alpine sable
#

It is, yes.

alpine sable
#

And I can't thank you guys enough for helping me on this.

verbal mural
#

but still it won't work for the actual collatz conjecture (as far as i can see anyway)

median dirge
#

Lets do one thing, Raspberry...

#

Lets switch channels.

#

And free the help channel

alpine sable
#

Aye, thanks all.

This converges to 0 right?
sin(-n)+sin(n)
-sin(n)+sin(n)=0
and
sin(0)=0

alpine sable
#

And it does so for any sin(n)^m where m is a positive odd integer right?

#

I think I'm right but not 100% sure

fervent timber
#

hmm but are you allowed to do that?
by the same reasoning the integral of x dx from -inf to +inf is 0
but I heard somewhere that's not true
idk

alpine sable
#

It doesnt work with negative numbers since theres a 1/0 and it doesnt work with even numbers since it'll obviously diverge

#

So if does it work with positive odd integers how would I prove if it works with all other positive odd numbers or not?

lone heartBOT
#

@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?

last ether
#

It doesn't converge to anything I think

#

Think of it as this

#

$$\lim_{(a,b)\to (-\infty, \infty)}\sum_{n=a}^{b}\sin{(n)}$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

last ether
#

If you try to take the limit of sin(n) as x approaches any infinity, it's undefined as it oscillates between -1 and 1

wondering if anyone can verify my work

lone heartBOT
bitter vault
brazen berry
#

yeah, i just asked my prof, and he also said i cant use the same variable x in my m

#

i guess the x in the point slope cant cancel with the x in the slope

#

since the slope x is a constant not a variable

#

😭

sudden nacelle
#

Help

bitter vault
brazen berry
#

oh so i did the right thing

#

and got the right answer

#

just used the wrong notation?

bitter vault
brazen berry
#

oh

#

is e^2 not the x point

#

and i just gotta find y?

bitter vault
brazen berry
#

okay, do you know if my x point was correct?

bitter vault
verbal mural
#

your prof may not have understood it

#

what you wrote in the pic you sent is correct anyway

bitter vault
verbal mural
#

i also agree with @bitter vault that you should indicate the final answer as the point but that's separate

brazen berry
#

can anyone explain the notation (a, ln(a))

bitter vault
brazen berry
#

oh!

verbal mural
#

i would agree it's not the clearest method

#

but like i just want to say that it's not actually wrong to treat x as a variable in it

bitter vault
brazen berry
#

Do y'all mind if i keep this channel open and send in another version of my answer?

#

with your advice in mind

verbal mural
#

i guess the x in the point slope cant cancel with the x in the slope
since the slope x is a constant not a variable

#

there was nothing wrong with the way he did this tho

#

it was fine to treat both x's on equal footing

bitter vault
#

gee, i'm not criticising you. let's leave it at here

verbal mural
#

i'm not offended

bitter vault
#

i did mention "it's fine, but ok sure use a diff letter"

verbal mural
#

i'm just kinda suspicious that the prof is taking off points bc of the prof's own mistake

bitter vault
#

sussy prof 🕵️ sus

verbal mural
#

er, idk if he took off points i guess, but still, i think he might've made a mistake

brazen berry

ah shit, lectures started

thanks for the help, y'all

wont have time to finish this one

Limit as i approaches infinity

Is any of this bullshit or is my work correct?

thick yoke
#

These limits aren't the same

alpine sable
#

Limit as i approaches infinity (at the top of the caption)

thick yoke
#

yes ofc

#

its still not the same

#

You have to use 2 different variables for the top and the bottom.

alpine sable
#

👍

#

Is flipping the bounds bs or is that fine?

thick yoke
#

wdym by flipping the bounds

alpine sable
#

3rd last step

#

From 0 to -i, to negative (i to 0)

thick yoke
#

yes that's fine

ocean sealBOT
#

Ariel1300

thick yoke
#

This is the correct limit

alpine sable
#

Ah damn

#

Then it just turns into an indeterminate form minus an indeterminate form

#

Or infinity minus infinity

#

Im too sleepy to figure out which

#

Thank you anyways @thick yoke, I'll sleep on it

I love the reaction of "ah fuk" to opening a help channel lol

#

Terms?

#

at the begining

#

a1 = 1

#

a2 = 2 * a1 = 2 * 1

#

a3 = 2 * a2

#

and so on

wary stream
#

Do you mean $$a_1 =1$$
$$a_n+1=2 a_n$$?

ocean sealBOT
#

dldh06

alpine sable
#

it's just a progression

#

a1 = 1

#

your first term

#

n+1 is the next term

#

so for n = 1

#

a2 = 2 a1

#

a3 = 2 a2

#

a4 = 2 a3

#

etc

wary stream
#

n is the term you are on

#

So if $n = 1$, then it's $$a_{1 + 1}=2 a_1$$

heady pollen
#

whats the question btw?

ocean sealBOT
#

dldh06

wary stream
#

As mentioned, n is the term

#

So you want n = 1 to n = 5

#

And for each n, relies on the previous n term

#

It gives you $a_1 = 1$ as the initial term

ocean sealBOT
#

dldh06

wary stream
#

So you now want n = 1

#

Plug in 1 for all the n's

wary stream
#

Simplified, $$a_2 = 2 a_1$$

ocean sealBOT
#

dldh06

wary stream
#

The $a_{n+1}$ is just notation for the next term

ocean sealBOT
#

dldh06

heady pollen
#

the formatting is hard to understand

#

do you mean this?

#

so yeah, what formatting did you mean?

#

is it related to the former question?

#

k is something like n

#

a variable

#

do you have more info about c?

#

or just post your homework here xD

#

would be easier then

wary stream
#

Can you post the full question? Just that statement is not enough to make a conclusive decision

heady pollen
#

what language?

#

ah no sry

heady pollen
#

like this?

heady pollen
proud pier
#

What u mean open a ticket

heady pollen
#

go into #help-22
and ask your question there

#

@alpine sable
you still there?

#

so do you have more info?

proud pier
#

No

heady pollen
#

and is this the term you had?

high rapids
#

sab are you a fan of fidel castro?

heady pollen
#

then what is the task?

high rapids
#

martin very nice profile pic

heady pollen
#

thx^^

#

so what is the qustion? xD

#

ahhhh

#

ok

#

so

#

you know this

#

and now look at what c can be

#

you will notice it is either 1 or -1

#

now think about when is c positive and when is it negative

#

equal?

#

you mean even haha

#

yes if n is even then c is 1

#

if n is odd then c is -1

#

now look at your n

#

n=2k+1

#

you know that k is in [0,1,2,3,...]

#

that makes 2*k an even number

#

adding one to an even number makes it odd

#

thus 2k+1 is odd

#

which is your n

#

so c_2k+1 is -1

#

you're welcome ^^

sum of squares? difference of squares?

alpine sable
#

how would that work?

steel sorrel
ocean sealBOT
#

JanekKwadrat

zenith pagoda
#

this is the difference of squares

steel sorrel
#

try applying it to the denominator

#

and see what you get

#

also notice that the nominator is divisible by x^3

wary stream
#

I wouldn't use the term divisible like that

steel sorrel
#

my bad

wary stream
#

I would say it has a GCF of x^3

zenith pagoda
#

well, it is divisible tho right

wary stream
#

Divisible makes it seem like you would divide all the terms by x^3

zenith pagoda
#

I guess divisible might imply it's an integer multiple of x^3

#

but all the same

alpine sable
#

x^3(x^3+a^2y)

(x^3+a^2y)*(x^3-a^2y)

im not sure abt this

zenith pagoda
#

yes

wary stream
#

Looks right

alpine sable
#

what do I do with that?

zenith pagoda
#

you gotta

wary stream
#

Now notice how some things can cancel out

#

Because it's the same in numerator and denominator

alpine sable
#

you mean cancel out the (x^3+a^2y) part?

steel sorrel
#

yes, that's probably what they meant

alpine sable
#

then ig it would be x^3
-----
(x^3-a^2y)

steel sorrel
#

that's right

alpine sable
#

ok thanks

steel sorrel
#

it doesn't seem you can do much more with it

zenith pagoda
#

,w xxx/(xxx-aay)

ocean sealBOT
zenith pagoda
#

seems to be as simplified as it can get

wary stream
#

,w (x^6 + a^2 * x^3 * y)/(x^6 - a^4 * y^2) simplify

wary stream
alpine sable
#

Ah, but it isnt that hard to find if you know you can cancel out something, but thanks for not instantly saying the right answer

wary stream
#

You did ask for the next step, when the next step was to cancel stuff out

alpine sable
#

i found another interesting problem im not able to solve are that too many or is it ok?

wary stream
#

When you do simplifying problems like that, the steps are normally, factor when you can, then cancel

alpine sable
zenith pagoda
#

I guess the idea is solve for y

#

or..?

wary stream
#

There's going to be an infinite amount of possible answers

#

I believe

zenith pagoda
#

log_2(615 + xx) integer solution

#

,w log_2(615 + xx) integer solution

ocean sealBOT
wary stream
#

What is xx?

alpine sable
#

as far as I understand the website claimed that there are only 2 solutions

zenith pagoda
#

xx = x^2

wary stream
#

You can type x^2

zenith pagoda
#

it's faster to type xx

#

and no need to press the shift button

wary stream
#

,w 615 + x^2 = 2^y

wary stream
#

Yep, two solutions

alpine sable
#

im not quite sure if I understand WolframAlpha's "explanation"

#

can anyone explain?

zenith pagoda
#

hmm

#

well it seems like you need to find a power of 2

#

since that's the only way that log_2(something) can be an integer

#

so x^2 + 615 is a power of 2

#

so we know powers of 2 go like 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 etc

#

so then we essentially just need to check integer squares one by one until we find one that is exactly 615 less than a power of 2

wary stream
zenith pagoda
#

well, might as well start close to 615 in size

#

so we check: 1024 - 615 = 409
2048 - 615 = 1433 etc

#

those are not square numbers, so we keep going until we find out that:
4096 - 615 = 3481

#

3481 is a square number, since 59^2 = 3481

#

4096 is the 12th power of 2, thus y = 12, x = 59

alpine sable
#

thanks, but I have a question

#

how did u know that 3481 = 59*59 did u check with calculator or did u calculate in your head?

zenith pagoda
#

I already knew the answer by looking at Wolfram Alpha, of course

#

but the idea is to check the square root of each answer until you find an integer

alpine sable
#

oh ok, I would have found it quite impressing if you had calculated in your head that 3481 = 59*59, but the explanation is quite impressing too thanks

zenith pagoda
#

haha I know the squares but not that high

alpine sable
#

can you help me with a little more different problem?

zenith pagoda
#

of course

#

well, not me, I gotta do something rn

alpine sable
#

oh when are you back?

zenith pagoda
#

just ask and someone else will answer :)

alpine sable
#

but I want your opinion abt that

zenith pagoda
#

fine I'll be back in like 10 minutes

alpine sable
#

ok thanks

zenith pagoda
#

@alpine sable well thats exactly 10 minutes

alpine sable
#

nice accuracy

#

so

#

I did the problem with dldh06 and i just wanna see if u get a different answer so you in?

zenith pagoda
#

which one?

alpine sable
#

its about creating a functional equation

zenith pagoda
#

fine by me post the problem

alpine sable
#

but it's not a problem from the intenet its a problem I found on my own so I have to explain a bit

#

so you have 4 variables
co
cl
hp
cn

#

co = definable
cl = definable
hp = 30
cn = F(co, cl)

#

its seems strange wait a sec

zenith pagoda
#

why are the variables not a,b,c,d?

alpine sable
#

because I have them like that in a programm, they stand for co(coins_old), cl(clicks), hp(health_points) and cn(coins_new) but you can use A,B,C,D

#

so every cl, hp gets subtracted by 1 and every 30th subtraction, when hp = 0 I want hp to be reset to 30 and have a counter of how many times hp was set back (cl:hp(30))

#

and that counter does co*2^amount of times hp was reset

#

so if I have this function the problem is cl:30 can equal to = 2.5 if we have 75 for an example and is it possible to get the amounts of absolute resets without a floor function

#

so that the outcome would be 2^2 because hp reset would only been done 2 times so 2^number of hp resets

zenith pagoda
#

well instead of resetting the HP you can count the amount of damage done total

#

the HP is then equal to 30 - (damage modulo 30)

alpine sable
#

but saying you'd do 40 damage then you'd have negative 10 hp

zenith pagoda
#

no, because you use the modulo function

alpine sable
#

how would that work?

zenith pagoda
#

that basically ensures it goes 0,1,2,3...28,29,0,1,2,3

#

this is the sequence of integers modulo 30

#

every time it reaches 30 it subtracts 30

#

that's what modulo does essentially

#

61 modulo 30 = 1

alpine sable
#

so the output would be 1 in 61 modulo 30?

zenith pagoda
#

,w 61 modulo 30

ocean sealBOT
zenith pagoda
#

61 damage dealt ==> 1 damage dealt

alpine sable
#

but wouldnt i want the output to be 2 then because the hp of the enemy went down to 0 2 times

zenith pagoda
#

huh?

alpine sable
#

wait a sec

zenith pagoda
#

honestly I'm not exactly sure what the problem actually is

#

or why you would want to avoid the floor function

alpine sable
#

cause im trying to get that equation without any function

#

i want it to be written in math that anyone would understand without the knowledge of needing to know certain functions

#

the design looks terrible i know so we have 4 coins

zenith pagoda
#

well there's no way to write it without floor or modulo I'm pretty sure

alpine sable
#

if i press the kill button 30 times, coins will be multiplied by 2 for each time im pressing the kill button 30 time

#

is it possible to implement that into an equation

#

without any external functions?

zenith pagoda
#

it's either 2^(total damage/30) with rounding or 2^((total damage - total damage modulo 30)/30)

alpine sable
#

look (i clicked the click button thats why 5*2=10)

#

the 1 was reset to 30 because it gone to 0

#

and the coins were multiplied by 2

zenith pagoda
#

those are the two solutions as far as I'm concerned

alpine sable
#

ok thanks and can you check if my math is right for the passive income section?

zenith pagoda
#

um, which math specifically?

alpine sable
#

basic multiplication and division

zenith pagoda
#

oh I see

alpine sable
#

important is cps, cpsr and mg.after(500)

#

so after 500ms the current coins get multiplied by 1.25

#

and I wanted to calculate the cps(coins per seconds)

#

how would I do that?

#

or have I done it right?

zenith pagoda
#

I have no idea what im looking at

#

uhh, what's ppp?

alpine sable
#

random variable

#

ppp = 10

#

forgot to mention sry

zenith pagoda
#

it would seem to be right but I can't say I fully understand whats going on

alpine sable
#

wait i found a mistake let me change the code then analyze it again pls i need help

zenith pagoda
#

it's likely more appropriate to ask in a Python-related discord

alpine sable
#

its not about the code only the math

zenith pagoda
#

alright

alpine sable
#

ok now

zenith pagoda
#

it still seems like you're multiplying them right away

#

I do not see what passi is even doing in there

#

it's not like you're using that variable

#

is the idea that it runs the function after 500 ms?

#

if so then you should do mg.after(500,aftercheck) right there in the passive() body

alpine sable
#

thats why its darkened out, its for the future if i want to cancel that 500ms loop, i can only do it by mg.after_cancel(passi)

#

yep every 500ms aftercheck() is being ran

zenith pagoda
#

I see

alpine sable
#

and every 500ms coins are multiplied by 1.25

zenith pagoda
#

and this only happens after you get 10 thousand coins?

alpine sable
#

no thats how much the passiveincome ability costs, its the trigger

zenith pagoda
#

aha so when you get it a second time it will multiply it by 1.25^2 every 500ms

alpine sable
#

but my problem is I cant just multiply that by 2 so I have every second times 1.5 cause the coins * 1.25 are different coins after they were being multiplied

#

no do you see the line
passiveincome["state"] = DISABLED
it makes the button inaccesible after being purchased

zenith pagoda
#

I see

alpine sable
#

imagine it like this

you have x
x is being multiplied by 1.25 every 500ms
how can you define how much x per second you would get

zenith pagoda
#

how can I define how much x per second I would get?

alpine sable
#

i think i got it
is it cps = coins / ppp if ppp = 4?

#

for an example if x = 6

#

i mean 8

zenith pagoda
#

oh, so you're calculating the expected result of the next call

alpine sable
#

then what would 8 * 1.25 be 10 right?

#

oh no

zenith pagoda
#

or you're calculating the exact amount you would get every second, including the stuff you already get

#

since this is a Cookie Clicker-type game

alpine sable
#

coins gets updated after every multiplication so every 500ms a different value of coins get multiplied

alpine sable
#

not fully im calculating the expected add value (x + expectation)

zenith pagoda
#

aha

#

well, it's (1.25coins - coins)/interval

#

so that's 0.25coins/interval

#

the interval, is 500 ms I guess?

alpine sable
#

so cps = coins * 0.25 / ?

zenith pagoda
#

this is the amount of coins per second you would expect to add

#

though you need to convert ms to seconds

alpine sable
#

which is not directly possible due to the update

zenith pagoda
#

0.25c/500ms = 0.25c/0.5s = 0.5c/s

#

hmm, is that right?

alpine sable
#

no

#

imagine this
coins = 8

#

after 500ms you would have 10

#

and after another 500ms (1 second in total) you'd have 12.5

#

8 * 1.5 = 12

#

12.5 != 12

zenith pagoda
#

because of the rounding, yes

alpine sable
#

what rounding?

zenith pagoda
#

10 * 1.25 = 12.5 but you round down

alpine sable
#

8 * 1.25 -> 10 * 1.25 -> 12.5
8 * 1.5 -> 12
no rounding done

#

different outputs

#

know imagine bigger amounts

#

lets say

zenith pagoda
#

indeed but why would you multiply by 1.5

#

thats not how compound interest works

#

1.25 * 1.25 is not 1.5

alpine sable
#

0.25c/500ms = 0.25c/0.5s = 0.5c/s (that's your statement)

#

0.5c/s = + c * 1.5

#

thats the thing being added converted in multiplication

#

the add value

zenith pagoda
#

oh I see

#

hmm

alpine sable
#

we have to predict the outcome of the first update
we have coins
and coinsupdate ig

#

and then multiply that coinsupdate value by 1.25 to get the real prediction

zenith pagoda
#

well the coins per second is getting updated every half second

alpine sable
#

yes

zenith pagoda
#

it would be correct the way I wrote it then

#

otherwise it's 1.25^2 coins - coins / 1 second

alpine sable
#

let me import the thing you mean in python and check if it works

#

can you write it again?

zenith pagoda
#

0.5c/s ?

alpine sable
#

ok wait let me import that

zenith pagoda
#

the way I'd calculate it abstractly it is of course using 1000(factor - 1)coins / interval

#

where factor = 1.25 and interval is in milliseconds

#

the 1000 to convert it into seconds

alpine sable
#

this is the output if coins = 10

#

you can check this

#

im not quite sure if I understand the output tbh

#

oh now I see

#

and see I was right

#

nvm

#

i dont understand it

zenith pagoda
alpine sable
#

what do you mean?

zenith pagoda
#

factor = 1.25; interval = 0.5

alpine sable
#

like this?

zenith pagoda
#

yeah

alpine sable
#

100% same output let me check

zenith pagoda
#

well of course

#

it's just for bookkeeping

alpine sable
#

oh

#

ok xd

zenith pagoda
#

what output were you expecting?

#

if you want it to calculate two function calls ahhead

#

(since it goes every half second)

alpine sable
#

i understand know and its the problem i told you look at this

#

ignore cps: 7.8125

#

so after one run 10 * factos is obviously 12.5

#

factor*

zenith pagoda
#

then just do (1.25^2 - 1)coins

#

this is the prospective amount of coins you will get after a second

alpine sable
#

so based on that cps definition coins after two runs has to be coins(10) + first cps(6.25) which would be 16.25 but its 15.625

#

you mean like this?

zenith pagoda
#

no no

#

only in the calculation of cps you do it twice

#

factor = 1.25

#

(factor^2 - 1) coins

#

this is the cps

#

(assuming the interval stays 500ms otherwise you have to make it more complicated)

alpine sable
#

so like this?

zenith pagoda
#

use parentheses

#

coins times (factor factor -1)

alpine sable
zenith pagoda
#

minus one goes into the parens

#

and obviously you still need the * to multiply

#

coins * (factor*factor - 1)

alpine sable
#

To check if it works you have to do
10 + first cps = 2nd coins output

zenith pagoda
#

hmm

alpine sable
#

17.0 != 15.625

zenith pagoda
#

I guess I got something wrong

#

hmm

#

coins * (factor*factor) - coins

#

but that clearly is the same thing

alpine sable
#

i think im close to it see what i got

#

now cps predicts the new coins value and it works

#

but I want to predict the add value

#

did it like this if it helps

#

created a new variable called upcoins(updated coins)

zenith pagoda
#

coins + cps = coins * 1.25 * 1.25

#

cps = coins * 1.25 * 1.25 - coins

#

I don't really wanna spend more time on this

#

it's clearly more of a coding problem than a math problem

alpine sable
#

you cant give up on me 😦

zenith pagoda
#

I gotta do my own assignments too :)

alpine sable
#

we've been doing math for almost an hour now

#

assignments wdym?

zenith pagoda
#

for school, yknow

alpine sable
#

this is not an assignment its jff

#

what grade are you?

zenith pagoda
#

university

alpine sable
#

oh wow which?

zenith pagoda
#

thats a secret to everyone

alpine sable
#

oh ok

#

are you studying maths?

zenith pagoda
#

compsci

alpine sable
#

you're studying computer science? Isnt the whole thing we were doing the past 1 hour computer science

zenith pagoda
#

haha yeah but I dont wanna be debugging stuff lol

alpine sable
#

what direction are you going for?

zenith pagoda
#

idk something like AI or maybe more math-related

alpine sable
#

ai without debugging xd?

zenith pagoda
#

not for free for strangers on the internet :3

alpine sable
#

are you able to program ai yet?

#

stranger? im malik

zenith pagoda
#

it's been fun but Im gonna go now

alpine sable
#

ok one last question

#

are you studying in america, asia or europe?

zenith pagoda
#

europe

#

thats the last one!

alpine sable
#

you're not speaking german are you?

zenith pagoda
#

no more details I'm going

alpine sable
#

only that one

zenith pagoda
#

have a nice day

alpine sable
#

have a nice night

clear stump
#

Good morning

alpine sable
#

hey whats up

clear stump
#

Im good

#

hbu

alpine sable
#

also good just discussed a problem with a helper which he could not solve sadly

clear stump
#

What problem

alpine sable
#

math

#

problem

clear stump
#

show

alpine sable
#

wait

clear stump
alpine sable

Mallik are you a boy or girl?

alpine sable

boy

#

sadly im not kylie jenner

high rapids
#

From where?

alpine sable
#

germany

high rapids
#

What do you study?

alpine sable
#

nothing im going to 8th grade

high rapids
#

Based

alpine sable
#

wdym by based?

high rapids
#

Very cool

alpine sable
#

this was the problem btw

alpine sable
high rapids
#

I am from Sweden

alpine sable
#

this was the problem

clear stump
#

We won in hockey hehe

high rapids
#

Cool

alpine sable
#

oh nice and what do you study?

high rapids
#

12th

alpine sable
#

oh

#

anyone know how to solve that?

#

cps(coins per second)

#

*this is the problem

#

basically every 0.5 seconds coins should be multiplied by 1.25 and I want to predict the next value added to coins every second

#

indirectly

#

any1 have an idea

clear stump
#

hmm

#

1/2t=1,25c?

alpine sable
#

what is t what is c

clear stump
#

t is second c is coin

alpine sable
#

so 0.5seconds = 12.5 coins?

clear stump
#

well each half a second the coins multiply by 1.25

alpine sable
#

yup

#

but dont forget it updates, so the coins multiplied by 1.25 change every time they're multiplied

#

im going to bed, this is the solution i came up with bt

#

w

clear stump
#

How do we get the previous amount in there

hello, i cant figure out how to prove that C^1 is not a banach space. the tip ive been given by scapeprof is that f_n = sqrt(1+x+1/n) but im clueless

lone heartBOT
#

@frail rivet Has your question been resolved?

lime bobcat
#

$f_n=\sqrt{1+x+1/n}$

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

Calculate the limit under the norm and see that limit does not belong to C_1.

#

We guess $f(x)=\sqrt{1+x}$.

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

We want to see that $\lim_n ||f_n-f|| =0$.

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

$(f_n-f)(x)=\sqrt{1+x+\frac{1}{n}}-\sqrt{1+x}$

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

frail rivet
#

Oh so instead of the absolute value we use the ||.|| norm

lime bobcat
#

$\sup_{x\in (-1,1)}(f_n-f)=\sqrt{2+\frac{1}{n}}-\sqrt{2}$

#

Yes! Think that $(\mathbb{R},| |)$ is just a special case of normed space.

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

I think the supremum is √(2+1/n)-√2 isn't it, I mean, at 1, isn't?

frail rivet
#

yea true

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

Clearly it tends to 0 when n goes to infinity!

#

And lim_n f_n = f

#

What does that imply?

#

If a sequence in a normed space has a limit, it implies it is...

frail rivet
#

it iiiis

lime bobcat
#

It is a Cauchy-squence,n

#

!

#

Elements of the sequence get closer to one another because they all get closer to the limit! so convergent sequences are easily proven to be Cauchy ones!

#

Now... what remains to prove?

frail rivet
#

Oh i see now

#

that the cauchy sequence does not converge to something thats in our set

lime bobcat
#

That's it

frail rivet
#

wait but it converges to 0

lime bobcat
#

No

#

Look what we have proved:

#

This $\lim_n ||f_n-f|| = 0$ means $\lim_n f_n = f$.

frail rivet
#

or what do you exactly mean by guessed

lime bobcat
#

oh fuck a deja vu haha

jnkena

frail rivet
#

im sorry im so clueless

#

Oh wait i think i get it now

#

you subtract f from both sides so it has to equal 0??

lime bobcat
#

$\lim_n ||f_n-f|| = \lim_n \sup_{x\in (-1,1)} (\sqrt{1+x+\frac{1}{n}}-\sqrt{1+x})=\lim_n (\sqrt{2+\frac{1}{n}}-\sqrt{2})=\sqrt{2+0}-\sqrt{2}=0$

lime bobcat
#

Do you understand this?

frail rivet
#

yea

#

let n->inf

lime bobcat
#

Yes

#

It is always infinity, it's a sequence

frail rivet
#

Ok and let x=1 because of the supremum

lime bobcat
#

Yes

frail rivet
#

by that we prove that f_n is a convergent sequence which is also a cauchy sequence

lime bobcat
#

And 1/n→0 because of n→∞

#

Yes

#

And we prove the limit is f

#

By that we prove $\lim_n f_n = f$

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

lime bobcat
#

What remains to prove?

frail rivet
#

that this does not hold for every f_n?

lime bobcat
#

? no

#

You said earlier..., we have to see that f does not belong to C1

frail rivet
#

yea

lime bobcat
#

So, do you have any idea for that?

frail rivet
#

does this have to do something that it converges to a non differentiable function?

lime bobcat
#

That's exactly that

#

What you have to prove is that f is not differentiable in (-1,1)

frail rivet
#

so sqrt(1+x)

#

but it is differentiable right??

#

Oh no the derivative has to be differentiable right?

#

nvm the derivative has to be continuous thats it

lime bobcat
#

Yes mmm

#

I dunno really

frail rivet
#

Can i use f_n = sqrt(x^2 + 1/n) instead? because then it would be like the absolute function which isnt differentiable?

lime bobcat
#

I mean, shouldn't it be C¹[-1,1]? It depends on your definition of C¹(-1,1)

frail rivet
#

wdym?

lime bobcat
#

The intervals

frail rivet
#

yea its ]-1,1[

lime bobcat
#

Is that a close interval?

frail rivet
#

No its like (-1,1)

lime bobcat
#

okaj

lime bobcat
#

No you can't

#

Be careful, functions must be in C1

frail rivet
#

because its not in the set right?

#

ok thats what i thought

frail rivet
lime bobcat
#

I know whats happening here

#

C1 is the set of continuously differentiable functions

frail rivet
#

that means: that the derivative is continuous right?

lime bobcat
#

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{1+x}}$

ocean sealBOT
#

jnkena

frail rivet
#

o.O

lime bobcat
#

If the interval were [-1,1] then it would not be continuous at -1.

#

But since the question text has a mistake (differentiable instead of continuously differentiable) it could have two mistakes maybe XD

frail rivet
#

Oh i see

#

but minus and minus = plus

frail rivet
lime bobcat
#

What?

lime bobcat
frail rivet
#

sqrt(1 + x) = sqrt(1 + (-1)) =0?

lime bobcat
frail rivet
#

oooh

#

i see now

#

then this would be a proof true

lime bobcat
#

$C^1[-1,1]$ is not a Banach space.
