Prove that 5^{3^n} + 1 is divisible by 3^{n + 1} for all nonnegative integers n.
I've tried using induction and starting with n = 1 and setting variables accordingly but I can't seem to figure it out. I was wondering if I could get a hint in the right direction.....
@dry bone Has your question been resolved?
shouldn't you start with n=0
@dry bone Has your question been resolved?
I'm not sure.....
@dry bone Has your question been resolved?
Off the top of your head is there another way to do this? and is there a difference between 1 and 0?
nonnegative integers
that is 0,1,2,...

Is there a formula needed to be followed for part b? In addition, would that mean no actual numbers are being used, simply 5x x and h
no need of a formula
if you know that area of a rectangle = l*b
you're good
hmm
but wouldn’t it be l * w * h for surface area?
wait no, not at all
yes sir
no no
seee
there are total 4 surfaces length 5x and width h
and one with 5x and x
so what do you think?
im slow sorry
honestly no clue.. if surface area is l * b im not sure what to multiply here
2(5w)(x)+2(x)(h)+(5x)(x)
ohh yes exactly
omg really??
it was my bad i said something wrong
yes sir
oh that’s fine!
you did it
so i just multiply them out
yes
no worries

Hello, i wanted to make a decode system. like 1234 is 3 5 7 5 because 1 + 2, 2 + 3, 3 + 4, 4 + 1. But now i dont know how to decode this system. Can somebody help me? thank you
i also wrote a little bit code, maybe you can understand what i wanted to do:
num2 = input("Bitte gib deine Nummer ein: ")
j2 = [int(i) for i in str(num2)]
a2 = j2[0]
b2 = j2[1]
c2 = j2[2]
d2 = j2[3]
ezahl2 = a2 - b2
zzahl2 = b2 - c2
dzahl2 = c2 - d2
vzahl2 = d2 - a2
print("Hier ist deine decodierte Nummer:" + str(ezahl2), str(zzahl2), str(dzahl2), str(vzahl2))
How do you know it's even possible
What does 2143 give
i dont understand, sry. what do you mean?
if you encode 2143 in your way, what does it give as a result ?
there's also the thing of, how do you handle inputs like 7777 ?
you'll be overflowing your digits everytime here

at what speed a particle must be thrown from a tower of height 3.6m and at angle of 30degrees with horizontal so that it hits ground at 45degrees ?
its part maths part physics anyone ?
draw the diagram?
@rapid kettle Has your question been resolved?
alright solve for a few equations first
initial velocity be U
Ux=Uy * (sqrt(3))
(x and y components of initial velocity U)
and final velocity Vx=Ux as there is no change in velocity in x direction
(refers to velocity along x direction)
as the angle of landing is 45 degrees
Vy=Vx
therefor Uy * (sqrt(3))=Vy
now apply equations for an object in constant acceleration
you'll find Uy
and thereafter Ux
combining them U can be discerned

How do you answer this?
In general, lcm = product / gcd (try thinking about why this is)
can you elaborate?
Yeah so for example if we have 6 and 8
6 = 2*3
8 = 2* 2*2
from there we get that the gcd = 2
and their product is 48
now how do we get the lcm? we just divide the product by the gcd to get 24
And we can check that it works, lcm = product / gcd
that should be enough info for you to solve the problem
no problem!

what would P(A) be equal to?
the professor said that {a} would not be an element of P(A), but shouldn't it be, since its a subset of A?
{a} is an element of A, not a subset
but wouldn't P(A) have a subset of A, which is only {a}?
ohh
you're saying {a} wouldn't be in P(A), but {{a}} would be?
because its supposed to be in a set
Exactly, yes
thanks!
However, note that {a} will be in P(B)
yeah, gotcha
because a is in B

hello grandmasters of mathematics, im new here, and im a software engineer, but sometimes my brain goes on standby mode and decides an easy solution but that wont be as performant for a simple problem. perhaps someone could help me.
So, lets say i decide a number for example 2. Which means something will happen every 2 times, but counting the first time as one. Lets take the following numbers list as an example
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ..
since i decided the number 2. it will happen on 0 (because its the first, the first always counts), and then on 3 , 6 and 9. because theres a gap of 2 between them as i decided.
If i decided the number 3, it means it will happen every 3 times, so it wouild happen on: 0,4 and 8.
So the question is, what simple calculation can i do to determinate if the number is a "YES it happens" or a "NO it doesnt happen", for the example where i decided every 2 times, it would happen "YES" on 0, 3, 6 and 9.
Its quite simple i often have a hard time explaining my own problem.
Of course i could simply solve this situation but starting on 0, counting 2, if at least 2 passed, then "YES" otherwise "NO" ,but this would be the easier way and it would be much better if for example i could use some formula that if the rest is 0 then that means it is "YES" otherwise its "NO".
quite hard to explain but hope someone gets me
What in the heck
Can you just summarize your essay into a math question with only necessary details
It’s fine
oh okay
@tulip compass is the starting number always zero?
yes
Does the sequence always move up by 1 each time?
yes
Oh
So your question is, given any whole number and the gap size, decide whether it “happens” in the sequence 0,1,2,3,…
okay so:
a range of numbers [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...... untill N]
now i decide a gap, for example 2. Which means that it is true after every 2 numbers. So its true on 0 (because its the beggining) and also on 3,6,9 etc.. every 2 times.
I need a simple way to use the variable "gap" and calculate some number that if its 1 or something like that then it means it is "true" .
hope its simpler
yes
exactly
that
exactly this
It’s quite easy
i want like some kind of divisian calculation that allows me to determinate if the result is for ex: 1, then it means it happens in this number
it should be, i am just complicating things probably
How would you do that?
Notice that if the gap size is 2, then all the numbers that happen are 0,3,6,9,12,…, i.e. all the multiples of 3
If the gap size is 3, it’s all the multiples of 4 (0,4,8,12,16,…)
holy shit i feel stupid, thank you very much
Np, don’t sweat it lol

I'm not sure why f(x) does not equal zero in pink
I understand if you put x = 0 you'll evaluate something that's undefined
If it's undefined at x=0, why do you think it should be defined?
But f(x) never evaluates to zero?
In this case it doesn't because you can't divide by 0
I don't understand the inclusion of this:
If you didn't include it, then you'd be saying the range of f is all R
But it's not
@sharp moth Has your question been resolved?
There is no case in which f(x) would equal zero
No, because f(x) is equal to zero only if the numerator is also equal to zero. So, in this case x² would have to be equal to zero, which means x=0, but zero is outside the domain of the function.
That's exactly why 0 is restricted from the range. We only include the values that f equals
Is that the same for the domain as well?
Yes
We only include values in the domain that x can be
But x can't be 0, so we exclude it

Why sin is defined as opposite over hypotenuse?
the same thing about cos equal adjacent over hypotenuse?
that what i got in google : 'The sine is always the measure of the opposite side divided by the measure of the hypotenuse. Because the hypotenuse is always the longest side, the number on the bottom of the ratio will always be larger than that on the top.'
Idk who can accept this proof
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3444210/understanding-of-sine-opposite-divide-by-hypotenuse
Maybe this will help
sorry but I'm not asking why the sin of an angle If side lengths of the triangle changed, but why sin is opposite over hypotenuse how they invent this rule?
anyway thanks for sharing some information
well they probably noticed at some point historically that the ratio opposite/hypotenuse is interesting and only depends on the angle. so they studied it and gave it a name. tbh I don't really understand what you are asking?
It's honestly how math defined it. It's been like that for years and every just goes with it
Like why did we decide to count 1, 2, 3..., and not 3, 1, 2... because we defined like that it's normal just to see it like that
maybe you are true
Do you know guys how the calculator switch between cos to cos^-1
I mean the algorithm behind that
they probably use the first few terms of the taylor series or something similiar
I mean if what you were saying is true it's quite impressive how they found it interesting and nowdays we all know how cos and sin play a tremendous role in mathematics
or the CORDIC algorithm
CORDIC (for COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer), also known as Volder's algorithm, or: Digit-by-digit method Circular CORDIC (Jack E. Volder), Linear CORDIC, Hyperbolic CORDIC (John Stephen Walther), and Generalized Hyperbolic CORDIC (GH CORDIC) (Yuanyong Luo et al.), is a simple and efficient algorithm to calculate trigonometric functions, hy...
well all of the math that we know today was "found" at some point
we didn't find some old textbooks with these definitions

how did my professor
in the 2nd to last step
go from x^2 inside the sqrt denominator
to a single x in the sqrt
did he do a mistake?
no
and you can do chain rule to verify
it’s prolly way easier
you don’t need to physically sub in u = 1/x and do dy/du * du/dx
but do that in your head
you’ll get the same answer a lot quicker
but how did he go from x^2 as the denominator
to x without canceling anything else out
under the square root
when it comes out
it’s just x
mate, trust me
you don’t need to remember anything, you can derive these on the spot
I remember doing that like ages ago back in hs
yeah
yeah
dy/dx = 1/sin(y)*x^2
no
minus cancels
sin^2 + cos^2 =1
that’s where the next step is derived from
how do i do that
rearrange for cos
i dont remember much
for trig
could you show me a visual example?
of how i would do that in this case?
after getting dy/dx=1/sin(y)*x^2
^^ do you know this formula
$sin^2(\theta) + cos^2(\theta) = 1$
Rylo
yep
ohh okay
like that?
just use $ to enclose what you type to use tex
and now sqrt both sides
to get sin
$sin^2(theta) = 1-cos^2(theta)$
manuel
$sqrt(sin^2(\theta)) = sqrt(1-cos^2(\theta))$
manuel
$\theta \phi \pm \leq$
Rylo
$sin(\theta) = sqrt(1-cos^2(\theta))$
manuel
$sin(\theta)= \sqrt{(1-cos^2(\theta)}$
Rylo
yeah, just backslash before the the sqrt and curly brackets for everything under the sqrt
anyways
substitute that for sin x in our equation
dy/dx = 1/sin(y)*x^2
^^
$dy/dx = 1/x^2\sqrt{(1-cos^2(\theta)}$
manuel
ohhh
and cos theta =
yeahh
what?
OH
yesyes
but the one i have
is cos(theta)
and the one im plugging it into
is cos^2(theta)
y=1/x?
$cos^2(\theta) = (cos(\theta))^2$
Rylo
cos(y) = 1/x
manuel
We have sin y
don’t we
$dy/dx = 1/x^2\sqrt{(1-cos^2(y)}$
Rylo
so far so good?
yeah
cos(y)=1/x
mhm
sub that in for this
i'm confused on this part exactly
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x^2\sqrt{1-cos^2(y)}}$
Rylo
yeah?
$cos(y) = 1/x$
Rylo
$cos^2(y) = 1/x^2$
Rylo
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x^2\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}}$
Rylo
yeah, dw
and baso just use \frac for fractions
with same curly brackets
but does it all make sense now?
manuel
No it’s cool
rearrange the formula
you’re learning
cos^2+sin^2=1
and that’s cool
and substitute
yep
i just dont get how
which part
cos^2(theta) is 1/x^2
line 1
i know 1/x^2 is the quotient rule
What’s line 1
on my professor's work?
cos^2(y) = (1/x)^2
there you go
Yeah no, trust me. you’ll be fine
Everything you did today either has to do with sin2 + cos2 = 1 or rearranging equations
yeah i'm going to piece everything together and retry number 1
thank u so much for the help!
rlly apprecaite it
no worries mate
feel free to dm if you need anything more
I’ll check in the morning

can someone tell me how to solve this? i have no clue
whats origin
0,0,0

Also do you know what a basis is

✅
sorry this is possible?
i dont have any points/directions thou
is it the origin?
No forget about that idea then
find equations for the lines in terms of a and b
it actually doesn't matter the number of dimensions you're working in as long as it's ≥ 2
for this ill need
- direction vectors
- a point on both a and b (0,0,0)
idk how to get the direction vector thou
You don't need direction
$$\cos{(45)} = \frac{A\cdot B}{||A||\cdot||B||}$$
Did it break so bad it didn't even load 💀
Oh it loaded
But it broke
Umbraleviathan
OH
You know that b is a unit vector
Tbh I never learned lambda notation in school
oh lol
lemme try writing that down
okay
so
wait so this is like the "equation" representing a and b
then cos(45) is sqreroot(2)/2
Yeah
It says that for vector B, the b part is a unit vector
Meaning that a = 1
So $||B|| = 1$
wait why is this a
this might be helpful
Umbraleviathan
hmm yea it def helps visualising
ye
so now i have root(2)/2 = (a . b)/|a|
sorry idk how to write in latex lol
you can think of it as a 'tilted' coordinate grid
i wouldn't say you should always do that
but it's helpful to develop that intuition
which part?
wait no actually i still dont know how to solve the first part
like i can visualize and see it now but idk how to derive it
erm one sec can we tackle part i first xD
so OR would be at the end of the longer green arrow
yeah
@stable night Has your question been resolved?
OR starts at 0a+0b and goes to 3a+5b, we represent the line OR = t<3,5>
AB starts at 1a + 0b and goes to 0a + 1b, we represent the line AB = <1,0> + s<-1,1>
This yields the system:
3t = 1 - 1s
5t = s
can you solve?
One moment
we use <x,y> here to represent xa + yb
Okay so i can solve for t and s then find OR
what do you get for s and t?
do you know the vector form of lines?
position vector + (free variable)(direction vector)
and that free variable is what allows it to be a line, which is a 1D object that varies with 1 variable
Oh thats 1D?
Now i know what 1d actually is lol
I thought 1D is just a point
Eh wait it is
a line is a one dimensional object because it varies with one variable
Also for the z axis for this question itll judt be 0 right
Oh right
we're working in 2D space so there is no z axis
Then 2D is on a x y plane?
anything that varies with 2 variables is 2 dimensional, it doesn't have to be a plane. we can parameterize the surface of a sphere with only 2 variables
but let's not get too off track here
solve the system
don't even think about x and y lol. we're not using the standard basis
yep
Err slightly
like if i wrote <3,5> that means 3a + 5b
yes
Rhen s = 5/8
a and b are not variables to solve for
OH
they are our "units" if you will
no, because x and y are not used as vectors typically
think of them as i and j
if you've ever worked with that notation before
so what's the point of intersection?
1/8(3a,5b)
not just that
even if you wrote <3a,5b> that wouldn't be correct. that would mean:
(3a)a + (5b)b
oh i see
okay i get

erm the length of projection is someething like this right
but in this case for part ii, OR is far beyond OB tho
or does it mean line ob
let me show you
Oh so the length of projection would work even if <3,5> is far beyond <0,1>
yeah
"How much of OR goes in the direction of OB?"
why would we do that
Err am i mistaken cus i thought the questions asking us to do that
Err if u dont mind can u highlight the length of projection of OR on OB
yep
yep
let's just use the projection formula
our 'a' here is OR
our 'b' here is OB
or actually let's make this even simpler
solve for |b|
cos 45 = |b| / |a|
solve for |b|
|b| = |a| cos45
i got it
alright it's getting late
a_x = |a|cos45
the projection is 3a_x + 5|b|
|b| is 1
so we have:
3|a|cos(45) + 5

whats the integral of ln(x+2)
\begin{align*}
\int (x+2) \cdot \ln(x+2) \ \mathrm{dx} &= (x + 2) \cdot (x \ln{x} - x) - \int{(x \ln{x} - x)} \ \mathrm{dx}\
&= (x + 2) \cdot (x \ln{x} - x) - \int{x \ln{x}} \ \mathrm{dx} - \int x \ \mathrm{dx}\
&= \boxed{(x + 2) \cdot (x \ln{x} - x) - \left(\dfrac{x^2}{2} \cdot \ln{x} - \left(\dfrac{x^2}{2} \cdot \dfrac{1}{x}\right)\right) - \dfrac{x^2}{2} + c}
\end{align*}
devil
im not sure where $x\ln x-x$ comes from
devil
nvm got it
\begin{align*}
\int \ln x \ \mathrm{dx} &= \int 1 \cdot \ln x \ \mathrm{dx}\
&= x \cdot \ln x - \int \frac1x \cdot x\
&= x \cdot \ln x - \int 1\
&= x \cdot \ln x - x
\end{align*}

What are you stuck on
when i look it up the answer is always x = 9 (im trying to solve for x) but i dont know how to get there
I always do (x-6) to the power of 2 = x and dont know how to solve from there
Use the quadratic formula
you are in 8th grade, doing stuff with logarithms, and yet you have never worked with quadratic equations before?
equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
Equations with squared x
never ever heard of that
then you have no business doing shit with logarithms lmao
why did your teacher give you a problem you aren't equipped to solve?
this is the question before on the sheet and its ez to solve, but I have no clue about that one
Is this your schools leson thing
wym
idk mann lmao I just dont want to fail it
your teacher gave you a problem that, by your own admission, you do not have the tools to solve.
Do you choose to study logarithyms or school just says you
this is what I was assigned by my teacher as homework
go and tell your teacher "This equation reduces to (x-6)^2 = x, which is a quadratic equation, but I have never worked with these before and cannot be expected to solve it."
alr ty, bc what I was doing was getting x^2 + 36 = x
(x-6)^2 is not equal to x^2 + 36.
ignorant, not dumb.
you admitted to never having heard of quadratic equations before. that is called ignorance, not stupidity.
(x-6)^2 expands to x^2 - 12x + 36, anyway.
yeah that makes no sense to me, ima just sort it out with my teacher, ty for ur help
In the start ot of homework did your teacher told you number must be like 4.0000 and not 4.274525 i dont what that means
i would imagine you were not expected to solve it algebraically but guess and check by the situation you described
Yeah thats what i thought
yeah idrk what u guys are even saying lol so ima just assume I havent learned this yet and take it up with him
mb for wasting time
im saying since u haven't learned how to do this properly
maybe you were just supposed to guess
ooohhh
because i know sometimes teachers will just let you have a go and see what u can come up with
yh ik wym now
i think such problems ought to have a disclaimer on them tbh
so should i just assume I cant do the rest of these questions?
or do those ones not require quadratics or whatever that is

how would i go about solving this?
do you know about calculus?
yes
i know f'(x) = 5x^4 - 3
and i know g(x) inverse is 1/f'(x)
g(x) = 1/5x^4 - 3
can you find g(x)
yes
what's g(x)
g(x) = 1/5x^4 - 3 this right
o
ok so do you know how to find g'(x)
um
i dont understand that very well
from my understanding we basically need to find derivative of g(x) as that would be the slope?
for g?
with the provided x,y values?
$f'(f^{-1}(a)) = \frac{p}{q}\
(f^{-1})'(a) = \frac{q}{p}$
Frosst
so its basically a reciprocal?
well kinda but you need the other value as your parameter
cos inverses are flipped along x=y
so when you're looking at the inverse function
you need to look at the y at the x value
that's why it says (a) for the inverse
and the inverse in inside the f'
i see
so you know on g -2,1 is that point flipped on the x=y line for f(x)
so if u find this point thats flipped, then calculate the gradient of f(x) at this point, then you can inverse it for the gradient on g(x)
that's the first step yeah
and i can accomplish that by plugging in 1 into f(x)?
(0,1)?
ok
(1,-2)?
i see
so now you know the corresponding point
you swap the numbers because it's reflected on the x=y axis
x turns into y
and y turns into x
got it
so now you find f'(x) for the point 1, -2

i got two different answers, not sure which one is right or which one is wrong, can someone check for me
@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?

how can i solve this?
AB is a line segment. A has the coodinates (a,b) and B has the coordinates (8,20). P is 1/3 of AB line segment and it has the coordinates of (2a,2b). Solve for A coordinates
u know section formula?
nope
vectors?
um nope
well how do i calculate it without the coordinates
now u can observe that to move from point A to P you need to add "a" in x direction and add "b" in y direction
and it's 1/3
to move into 2/3 u need to add them again
and the last time to move to the point B
ok how about if i werent allowed to draw?
how?
you can draw it on the paper
I've used GeoGebra cuz I'm lazy, but nvm
but what if i had no space to draw during the exams
and they specifically said no drawing
I don't see other solution that using section formula/vectors. U can also use analytic geometry, but solution would be so long
they don't require drawings
this is what I was talking about
cause this image dont show coordinates
huh u were?
yes, P is 1/3 and P = (2a,2b)
2/3 is (3a,3b)
and 3/3 (point B) is (4a,4b) then
that's basically it
wait so my answer is right?
yes
ow
i barely know anything about this topic
i just use inverse methods
i didnt even knew that there was a name for this
so this is called vector formula?
no, you haven't used vectors
section?
I don't know if this has a specific name, I'd say just logical thinking

what exactly is your question?
@tribal oxide Has your question been resolved?
Find fof
I mean why did you post here
I want to know if what i did is wrong or not
it's not wrong. but I fail to see where you make a proper argument that f(x) >= 0 always. except the graph
try to write more words instead of just symbols
There is a case method also taught but its lengthy
it's impossible to know what you are thinking just from what you wrote down
the case analysis doesn't take that long
and it's good to practice it for other problems where you can't just draw the graph and point at it
not that you even do that
I know, i was thinking its been while i did the graph method💀
Thank you for your help

Did you learn the formula for this?
nope
teacher gave us a bunch of questions
nvm you know similar triangle?
not really
in your word, what do you think are similar triangle
triangles that have proportional lengths?
and they have all of their angle are equal to the other triangle that is similar to them
yeah?
ye
alright
ok
Now
what do we do
i want you to look at triangle GIH and triangle FIG
bet have it open
guessing their similar
We don't do guess here
Guess is dull and a waste of time
nvm
Do you think
we can prove that those triangle are similar to each other?
we should try
but yes
i thnk
we look at the angles
and if their similar
and the sides
?
hmm
alright imma tell you 3 of the way we can prove similar triangle
first is a-a (angle-angle)
which mean
if you can find 2 pairs of angle which each pair has 2 angle that are equal to each other
you can prove that they're similar triangle
since they have 3 of their angle equal to each other but NOT the length of the sides
is there an aaa
a-a is aaa
oh ok
since you just need 2
well we know they both have right triangles
alright nice 1 angle
we need to find 1 more
g and f?
which g?
angle
I mean HGI or FGI
yes
they add to 90
good.
deg
yes
what's special about them
tjeres an altitude
forget the alitude
and think about what i just tell u
they look similar
they plus each other to give you 90 degree correct shub?
Now
ok
Look at IFG and FGI
