"in the case that x is 0 it would be undefined so that's whatever " no, 0 > -1/n for all n
0 is in the intersection
i meant that -(1/0) is undefined
this to me feels like taking things out of context
but i see what you're saying
because I only defined n as such for x < 0, so it shouldn't be expected to work for x = 0
the 0 thing specifically or my approach as a whole ?
i see that, yeah i shouldn't have done anything with 0 in the first place you're right
(x=0 that is)
....surely there's a better way to approach this than what i did
surely the induction doesn't have to be like that
what induction ?
like if you were to prove that the notation is equiavalent to the set would you genuinely have to exhaust x > and x < 0
these 3 messages are my proof
complete induction i mean, as in going through each x option
pls don't call that induction
between 0 and 1
i guess that's not very complete at all is it
yeah no i regret that
don't use names that already have a meaning to call things that aren't that thing
my apologies
no i genuinely dont know how id prove this
like would playing w x<0 and x>1 be sufficient ?
as I said, here's a short proof
not as well written as it could have been, but well enough
wait that counts as a proof?
that's great actually
i thought i'd have to use some other notation i don't know of
also what is that type of proof called ?
in this case double inclusion
(so i avoid calling it "an induction/exhaustion except we only exhaust 2 things")
ohh
i see
thanks !!!!
based on the principle that 2 sets are equal iff they're included in each other

if f:R_>R is odd, solve f(x) + f⁻¹(x) = eˣ - 1
This one has been melting my brain for the past hour
If f is odd, then so if f^(-1), right?
So f + f^(-1) is odd
But on the right hand side you have e^x - 1, which is definitely not odd
So no such function exists
e^x - 1 not being odd doesn't mean it can't have common points with the graph of f(x)+f^-1(x)
Ah, did the problem ask to solve for x instead of f?
Well since f and f^(-1) are odd, then we have f(-x) + f^-1(-x) = e^(-x) - 1
-f(x) - f^-1(x) = e^(-x) - 1
f(x) + f^-1(x) = 1 - e^(-x)
So e^x - 1 = 1 - e^(-x)
Initially we had f(x) + f^-1(x) = e^x - 1
And now we also showed that f(x) + f^-1(x) = 1 - e^(-x)
So, since a = b and a = c means that b = c
Similarly e^x - 1 = 1 - e^(-x) in this case
im a bit skeptical about this line , since you're using the inital equation as a given fact and not as something we have to solve. I dont think im allowed to just replace x with -x in it , or with anything for that matter. But correct me if im wrong
On the other thought yeah an equation for x being true doesn't imply that it's true for -x
But there's another argument to prove a solution
For every odd function, f(0) = 0
So f(0) + f^-1(0) = 0
And e^x - 1 is also 0 at x = 0
So x = 0 is a solution
Other solutions can't be determined unless f is given
what does that even mean
A typo, mb
That f(0) = 0?
Well it's given that f: R -> R so I guess 0 should be in the domain
oh well
Continuity isn't necessary for f(0) = 0 to be true tho, the only requirement is 0 to be in the domain
It just so happens that continuity at 0 also requires that

"A point lies on the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle, and it divides the hypothenuse by parts, equal to 30 cm and 40 cm.
That point is equally distant from the catheti. Find the catheti"
so
I can easily get to conclusions that the 4-angled figure is a rectangle at least
and since the problem states that the point is equally distant from the catheti, I assume that all sides are equal, making the rectangle a square
but what do I do to proceed?
so I marked some segments
am I correct thus far?

∫f(x)+g(x)dx = ∫f(x)dx + ∫g(x)dx is this always possible?
always always?
well assuming f and g are integrable
otherwise you might end up with an infinity-infinity situation on the RHS

You are trying to weld two pieces of metal together, but they keep slipping. Your solution is to clamp them together with a normal force of 4000N. The coefficient of the static friction for steel-on-steel is 0.1. How strong is the friction force keeping them from sliding?
I put 400N

question from a statistics 120 assignment i just cant. seem to figure out
82% of all adults think gambling should be illegal. In a sample of 50 Adults what is the probability that:
P(x=41)
P(x ≥38)
P(x>40)
Calculate the mean and standard deviation of adults who think gambling should be legal
this is all the information youre given?
yes
so is it binomially distributed with n = 50, p = 0.82
i literally have no idea
ok
so just use the formula for the first
what formula
well yeah rounded off that is
what about the ones with inequalities?
but yes
well if its larger or equal to 38
that means summing the probabilities that its 38, 39, 40, ..., 50
not very nice to do by hand
is there an online calculator you'd reccomend for that? i dont have my ti-84 on me rn
and for x i have to put in each value from 38 to 50?
oh wait it shows me
thank you so much for your help!

I need some help with a physics problem
we are currently learning about free fall
and these are the equations they want us to use
there are three things you're asked for here, all given as a continuous chunk of text but could be formatted into subproblems like so:
(a) A cart is released from the top of a tower and is in free fall for 2.6 seconds. What is its velocity at the end of its free fall?
(b) After free fall, the cart is slowed down back to rest over a duration of 1 second. What is its rate of deceleration during this phase?
(c) What vertical distance did the cart cover in total during the free fall and slowdown phases?
which of these parts are you having trouble with?

integration by parts
i don't think the given equation helps
are you familiar with this formula?
no
thanks
@solar bolt I think the question intended you to do something like this
And solve for I
k
ok
and I don't think it wants you to solve that integral
yeah its all general
If you couldn't figure this out on a test you could just take the derivative of each of the answers

I am having trouble finding this I am a grade nine that hasn’t been to school in a while bc im sick
It must be linear function, which is something like $ax + b$.
Robin S.
Just create a function, let's say $f(x) = ax + b$ then plug in those x values and find a and b with those y values.
Robin S.
I have no clue what your saying right now your kinda speaking jibberish can I just get the answer pls
No.
Well that’s all I was looking for so I’ll be gone
I can't say the answer, it is written in the rules of the server and even if I say it, you will not learn anything.

so the answer i have is correct?
idk
do you
have
a picture
or
maybe
you can key into your calculator
and see if it’s the same result
No
oo maybe not then
Did you use the sum/difference formula?
let me take a picture of my paper
ok
Looks good 👍
like this
Yeah, that should be fine. Sometimes those online programs are really picky about how you input the answer
But that's definitely correct
70-80, not 80-70
70-80=-10
Yeah, sin(-10 deg) is right
Yeah, rewrite it as a trig function of a single number
-10 deg is a single number
So like, don't evaluate it with a calculator, just put sin(-10 deg)
Use a degree sign if you have one
Looks good

but it was getting more complex

2022 and 2023 form 4045 or 1 or -1
consider stuff like factorisation of sum/difference of two cubes
elaborate please
a^3 - b^3 = ( ? )( ? ?)
(a-b)(a^2+b^2+ab)
ohh
yeh and also
okay
a^3 + b^3 = ( ? )( ? ?)
yoo its getting simplified a lot

for the first one, we got a false proposition (because {2,3} isnt a part of the empty set) which implies something else which is either true or false, so we got either
false ⇒ false
or
false ⇒ true
both are true since something that is false can imply anything, so the answer is waar
for the second one, we got a triangle abc, and we have that ac is shorter than the lengths of ab and cb combined (which is always the case, because there can’t be a triangle with a side longer than the combined length of the other two sides) implying that ac is longer than the lengths of the other two sides combined (which is impossible), we got
true ⇒ false

We assume the greatest common denominator of m and n is 1
If n and m are both even then at least 2 divides both of them
yep I understand that
but it says that If they are divisible by an integer that is greater than 1 then it doesn't change it
we assume m and n are minimal, but then we can show that they are even so there are even smaller m and n, giving a contradiction
by minimal it means simplified as much as possible right?
yes
Yes
I still don't understand why one of them has to be an odd number, is it because if they were both even then we could simplify it and then we would eventually end up with 1 odd number?
yes

25 people with different names (A, B, C, D, ... ) are to be divided into 5 unnumbered (non-empty) groups. In how many ways can this be done if A is not allowed to end up in same group as any of B, C or D?
Im supposed to solve this by using stirlings number somehow but I am confused
The total way that the combination can happen is S(25, 5)=2 436 684 974 110 751
But the I have to exclude the cases A is in the same group as 3 of them, or as 2 of them, or with one of them.
I could do if the groups were distinct.
Ok so I just got an idea
if we have case 1 when say all ABCD are the same group which means we can count them as one, so we have 22 people to distribute in 5 non-numbered groups which means we have S(22,5)
WE have four cases where A is with 2 people, or 1 person so we can do the same thing.
Answer = S(25,5) - (S(22,5)+ (3×S(23,5))+(3×S(24,5)))
But is that correct?
<@&286206848099549185>
,w C(25,5)
occupied
wdm?
uh, that's not correct, it's just me testing
we kinda have a similar problem, if you solve it, leave a tip
aha okey

green ball not in green box
This is derangement
"In combinatorial mathematics, a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set, such that no element appears in its original position."
you can calculate the ways with n!/e but its approximate so you have to round up to the next number or round down

4x - 4 - 2x + 1
How do i simplify this as far as possible?
what have you tried so far
????????????????????
do you know what like terms are?
this is kinda occupied
😦
if someone gave you 5 apples and 4 bananas, then took back 3 apples and took back 2 bananas as well
represented by the expression
5🍎 + 4🍌 - 3🍎 - 2🍌
how much of each fruit would you still have?
don't worry about the original problem for a minute,
i gave you a relatable real life example to make it easier to recognise the idea of like terms
yes
so you have some sense of what like terms are, same idea can be applied to your question
alright
just like how you didn't mix apples with bananas here, don't mix your terms with x and constants
pretty much the same way as just now
just like how you identified and separated terms with apples and bananas,
do the same for terms with x and terms with constants
yes

How do I solve this?
I understand that the sum of the roots is 19, and the product of the roots is 216
I'm not sure how I can write the sum of the product pairs in a way which allows me to solve it using the sum (19) and the product (216)
the geometric sequence depends on two things - the start and the common ratio. You can create a system of two equations in these two variables with 19 and 216
What would the system of equations be?
first write out the sum of the first three terms in a geometric sequence in terms of the start and common ratio
then the product
what do you mean the by sum of the first 3 terms?
are these 3 terms alpha + beta + gamma?
do you know what a geometric sequence looks like?
not particularly
does this ring any bells?
no
the three roots will be a, ar and ar^2
what is the sum of these three roots in terms of a and r?
a + ar + ar^2?
ohh and that's equal to 216
np
@misty steeple Has your question been resolved?
let's see your working
I havent done it so idk the answer
,w a^3r^3=216, a+ar+ar^2=19
i got it right!!
let's goo
i struggled with the system of equations for a while lol
wait
so from here
i wrote a, ar, ar^2 as product pairs
and plugged in a and r
i got 73.5
hmm
the last one should be a^2r^3 I think
so what's 4,6 and 9
i guess the roots
but like where would i find that
previously in my working
yup exactly
np :)
alright well thanks again and see u next time :)))
uh oh
@timid silo
my classmate says the answer is 18
not 114
he also got 114 but apparently on the answer sheet it says 18
i don't have the answer sheet
this must be wrong right?
,w roots x^3-19x^2+18x-216
,w roots x^3-19x^2+56x-216
ye definitely not 18

(k^2-2k)x^2+(4-6k)x+8=0
all solutions are integers, k is a constant. what are the possible values of k?
im confused tbh?
- simplify the terms
- use quadratic formula and sub in the values
does k need to be an integer, or real number?
that seems kinda complicated
apply rrt
looking at factors of 8
I think it's not too bad if we're searching for integers k
if k is real it might get bad
yea lol

no k must be an integer
otherwise the expression won't be integer
or am i tripping 
if k is an integer I think a necessary condition is that k^2 + 4k + 4 is a square
so that limits it pretty severely
by quadratic formula if I didn't mess up
k(k-2) needs to divide 8 if we apply rrt
that sounds simpler lol
and then k could be 4 or -2 but hmmm
quadratic formula doesn't work if k is 0 or 2
and then 2(2-3k) needs to divide 8
which happens for both
oh yea, didn't realize that
all we need to check is if there are integer solutions when k=4 or -2
if k=4 the middle term is -20
if k=-2 the middle term is 16
8x^2 + 16x + 8 = 0 definitely has integer solutions
,w 8x^2 - 20x + 8 = 0
k^2 + 4k + 4 is always a square
it's possible we're still missing a whole bunch of k that aren't integer
not a very helpful necessary condition 
umm I think you missed k = 1
yes you are right
there might not be any
desmos is making me think there aren't any
ez
,w (k^2 - 2k)x^2 + (4 - 6k)x + 8 = 0, k=3/2

doesn't
I meant that the weird answer format works
oh yeah

What is the next step
sub in the val of x
Is it underestimate?
Oh
We know the slope is negative around x = 2
Doesn't guarantee anything for x = 2.1 but we can make a reasonable estimate
is thr a prev part
No
Also is there an easy way to simplify x^5+2x^3+x-4
Because my teacher did that without showing work

Solve 2^2x + 2^x +6 =0 using the quadratic formula
try doing a sub like
u=2^x to get something more recognisable
would that re-write the equations as "let u = 2x" 2^u + u -6
no
do you mind showing me what you mean?
consider 2^(2x) = (2^x)^2

How would I rearrange this equation to find t?
It’s a quadratic in t
Wym
Compare this to $ax^2 +bx+c=0$
Pure
Oh that
Well i actually know my values in the equation (except for t)
The equation isn’t equal to 0
One sec
You can make it equal to 0
Oh
Yeah sry I should have explained it more
Then you can multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{9.8}$ then square root both sides
Pure
Take only positive roots as time>0
Why do you multiply them by 2/9.8?
Yeah that’s true. I was wondering why you need to do 2/9.8 in order to isolate for t
Like I get we want t on one side

If I have 255 Green Colors, 255 Red Colors, and 255 Blue Colors - what is the amount of possible colors I can create? Or at least, what would be the equation to find out?
or $255^3$
NV
What if the color only changes every 23 digits for each section? This would make the number much smaller I assume, but, how would that be calculated?
so you mean to say is that there will only be 23 greens, reds and blues?
anytime, if the probabilities are independent of one another, you multiply them
lets say a coin, the probability of getting a heads or tells isn't affected by any other events, so getting heads thrice will have the probability of 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2
here if the outcomes are independent of one another, the probability will be 23 * 23 * 23 or 23^3
@random egret Has your question been resolved?
No, every 23 numbers, the color changes in the 255. 255 = White. But, 232 = Azure. So, what I'm saying is more along the lines of 255/23 = 11. So 11 x 11 x 11. I think that would be the correct formula?
I don't get what you mean exactly
<@&286206848099549185>
255 (White) - 23 = 232 (Azure)
255 (Total Colors) / 23 (The amount of numbers it takes to change a color) = 11 (Total number of character variations)
(Red) 11 x (Blue) 11 x (Green) 11 = 1331
Do you understand? And does this sound correct?
<@&286206848099549185>
Can we just say 3 colors, 765 balls and of each color 255?
We can't say 765 balls, but, the rest is correct. I'm looking at the RGB Section: https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/ . Every 22 digits, the color changes, except for Black (0), and White (255). How many colors would there be? I'm having trouble understanding whether I should say every 22 digits (sole color), every 23 digits (sole color and the first digit of the next color), or every 24 digits (sole color, last digit of the previous color, and first digit of the next color). I am deeply sorry if this is confusing.
So essentially every green colors have 252/32 rounded down colors in them and you need to find how many colors can be made off of them?
If yes then you have a set containing total of 33 colors and you need to find all 2-permutations of it. Also to note I am assuming repetition is disallowed so (red,green) is the same as (green,red).
I did a quick check and the formula for this is (n over k) where n is the number of objects in the set and k the number of objects taken (in this case 2). @random egret
I hope I did not mess something up, been a while since I did combinatorics xDD
This might be helpful,
Translation is
Number of choices of k objects from the set of n objects is given by the following table.
Rows are 1.repetition allowed ,2. repetition dissallowed
Columns 1. order important, 2. order not important
Please, hold on while I grab dinner!
"n is the number of objects in the set" so n = 765?
it's 11^3 you got it right
Is it not 33? Like there are 11 green colors, 11 red and 11 blue so that is 33?
as long as it's really 11 and you didn't off by one it
Imma read it again xD
If I am not missing something there is 11 colors in the set of green colors and 11 in red and 11 in blue. To get to how many of all colors there are we add how many are in the individual ones.
"To get to how many of all colors there are we add how many are in the individual ones." Can you explain this
they didn't explain much, your interpretation is equally valid
Also, I just subtracted (255-2) because of black (strictly being 0) and white (strictly being 255), and I got 253 (obviously), but, when divided by 22 (which is how many numbers each color has), it = 11.5
there are 256 numbers, you're supposed to get 254 when you subtract
n is the total number of elements in the set of all colors, which we need to do our formula business. To get how many actual colors are in the set of Green, Blue, Red we do the calculation that you did and get 11 of each. So the total number of any color is 11+11+11.
Also I messed up xD
There are 255 of each R, G, and B: https://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/
You not only need 2 permutation you need all permutations up until 33.
no there's 256
So it would be sum k=2 to 33 (n over k)
So n is what we are looking for? There is actually 22 numbers in each color, my original equation was wrong. 33 numbers in each color doesn't sound right.
Sure if 22 is of each color than 22*3 is n.
33 was total in what I said assuming 11 is correct.
Do note that n is not the answer to your question it is a necessary step to get to the answer of your question.
Well not necessary but necessary to the way we are solving it rn
if you decided that 11 colors exist, it's 11^3
but with 23 per color it doesn't divide neatly, because there are 256 numbers, so 254 after you drop the ends
I believe we have deduced that in order to calculate the amount of possible colors; we need to multiply 12 x 12 x 12. Because I'm starting to get a little lost.
I got 1728
My reasoning is:
There are 22 in each set of colors, blue, green and red which means that we have 22*3 total colors.
We know that repetition is not allowed (aka (green, red) and (red,green) count as 1 not 2) meaning order does not matter.
We know that (red,blue), (blue,red) is the same as (blue,red),(red,blue).
Thus our formula is n over k.
We also know that k goes from 2 to n so the final formula is sum k=2 to n n over k
master oogway decided to count 2-permutations for some reason
The reason k goes from 2 to n is because possible colors can be made with any of i-premutations i e 2,3,4,5,6
like just out of the blue
Well, yeah. You can make a color from 2-permutations that you couldn't with 3,4.... permutations
"There are 22 in each set of colors, blue, green and red which means that we have 22*3 total colors." @exotic minnow No, we need to divide 253 by 22, and then multiply it by 3.
i don't get it
AHA, ok then there are 11*3 total
No, no, no. There are 12 x 3 total.
The question is how many colors are possible to create from named colors which means all non trivial color combinations. Non trivial combinations are all permutations except 1. I think this can also be solved with multiset but eh.
Sure, I suppose xD
ah ok
thanks
so like, 33×22/2
any hue, then any "different" hue, and you get a color like Azure Slate
Just to come to an understanding; I don't understand your vernacular. Secondly, what is your reasoning? (In simplest terms please)
they are making a color name from 2 words
For 11?
I took 252 and divided it by 22 got 11,5 which could be either 11 or 12 depending on how one interprets the line.
Like if after then last "allowed" addition the next is a new color but shortened then it is 12 if it is not a new color then it is 11.
I'm not completely sure which is more reasonable but probably 12.
"Like if after then last "allowed" addition the next is a new color but shortened then it is 12 if it is not a new color then it is 11." This makes no sense to me, please speak in simpler terms.
we can't decide for you how many colors you have
We have 22*11 colors and change. If the change is a new color then 12 is the total if the change is not a new color then it is 11.
change here is 0.5
it's an arbitrary decision if you end up dividing it into 12 or 11
you said you don't want 0 or 255, there's still 254 that you may count as 12th color or not
I still don't understand what you're saying, Master Oogway.
Do you understand what happens after we know if it is 11 or 12?
You exponentiate
For what reason?
Wait @drifting wraith , I forgot to count 0 as a number didn't I?
that was very silly let's forget it happened
Are repetitions allowed here?
They do not seem to be. A combination of (red, green) seems the same as (green, red)
And order does not seem important either.
so we have 22*3?
Lets say that is n. We then put n into
sum k=2 to n n over k and we get our result!
we don't have anything

Aren't we supposed to round up when it is 0.5, that's what I was taught in gradeschool?
you're deciding how many colors you have, you can't skip the deciding by hiding behind arithmetics
? Okay
I just re read. Color changes every 23 so the change is a new color.
so n is 12*3. We agree on that? @random egret
you mean 12?
12^3 = 1728
why to the power of 3?
we pick one value for r g and b
we got 12 to be how many different colors of g,r and b are. So total of different colors is g+r+b which is 12+12+12.
n^k allows for repetition and is order dependent which we do not allow even if n is 12.
yep
So the formula is inappropriate.
We do?
I thought we count (r,g) and (g,r) as 1 not 2
we never had any consensus on what we want
like combining r and g is the same as combining g and r
