so 2x = either 210 or 330 + 2pik
we dont add pik, but 2pik, since if we add pik, we fall under the quadrants where sin(x) is positive
x = 105 +pik, x = 165 + pik
i intentionally wrote 185 wrong, to see whether you were paying attention
no but the anwsers in my book are diffrent
you can group that with this for a single line solution with x
yeah but we didnt group with the cosx
oh ok
here i dont think there is any sol
for this case scenario
so cos(2x) = 1
2x = pik
x = pik/2
oh nvm
cos(2x) = 1 only at 2pik
so x = pik
,w cos(2x) + 2sin(2x)cos(2x) = 1 + 2sin(2x)
ok yeah pik is from the cos(2x) = 1 case and the other 2 from cos(2x) = 0 case
i just dont have pen and paper to bring to a single solution case, but i think you can do it
its simple
I have tried doing it again on my own from the beginning. Can you check if I did it correctly?

Show that $\frac{1}{n} \times Y^{2}_i$ is an unbiased estimator of $s^2$
catnwaffles
I have gotten to $\frac{1}{n} \times n \times E[Y^2]$. Do I just take the second moment of my distribution and simplify?
catnwaffles
what is the definition of s, and Y_i, and how are they related to each other?
s is the standard deviation of each Y_i?
s^2 = population variance. Y_i are just observations
X ~ N(0, s^2). Y = |X|(half normal)
Variance of X.
that information would've been very helpful if you included it in the beginning
then what's Y_i?
independent identically distributed samples?
what's little n
IID from half normal
size
and little n is how many you took, yeah?
and I assume you actually want to show that $\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^n Y_i^2$ is an unbiased estimator for $s^2$?
Saccharine
Yeah, for population variance
The question is very confusing sorry
"s^2 is the variance of X, it is not the variance of Y"
well, in a much more rigorous manner, you'd say X_i are independently and identically distributed random variables
with X_i having distribution N(0, s^2)
and suppose you have Y_i = |X_i|
then show that $\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i=1}^n Y_i^2$ is an unbiased estimator for $s^2$
Saccharine
right?
Yes
first, do you see how this is radically different from what you first asked?
not the least that you don't even have a sum in your original question
I didn't know how to latex a sum
you can always just write it out in text
something is better than nothing
so you took the expectation of this estimator
and using that Y_i are identically distributed
$\int _0^{inf}:x^2\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{s\sqrt{pi}}e^{\left(-\frac{x^2}{2s^2}\right)}$
catnwaffles
you concluded that this was $\frac{1}{n} \times n \times E[Y_i^2]$ yeah?
Saccharine
Yes
can you see why $Y_i^2 = X_i^2$?
Saccharine
No idea
okay, why don't you try writing Y_i in terms of X_i?
Well isn't Y = |X|
I see why Y^2 = X^2
okay
so then does it make sense that you're computing $\frac{1}{n} \times n \times E[X_i^2]$ then?
Saccharine
Would it matter which one I compute if they're both equivalent?
well, not in the sense that you'd get a different answer
but definitely in the sense that one is much easier to compute than the other
you probably don't even need to compute it with an integral
just stating it as a fact about normal distributions is enough
So squaring a half-normal results in a normal dist, so I can just use that fact to substitute X^2 in for my expectation, and use a normal pdf?
squaring a half-normal does not result in a normal distribution
it results in a chi-square distribution, but that's irrelevant
the point is that |X|^2 = X^2, all the same
so computing E[|X|^2] is literally the same thing as computing E[X^2]
So how can we go back to the normal distribution here?
wdym by that?
I agree that if Y = |X| that Y^2 = X^2
How does that tie into X ~ N and Y ~ half normal
okay, so we've so far proven that the expectation of that estimator is equal to E[X^2], yeah?
agree
we know that E[X] = 0 and E[X^2] - E[X]^2 = s^2, since we really said that 0 is the mean of X and s^2 is the variance of X, no?
so then E[X^2] = s^2
thank you
do you have any recommended resources for math stats? My class is kind of a drag
hmm not sure; it's been a long time since I did it
I would say that it helps tremendously to get a solid grasp of probability beforehand
like knowing what random variables are, all of the weird things that happen with it
then if you represent statistics as just reducing real-world problems to those involving questions about random variables
it's much easier than the sorta ad-hoc way statisticians use probability
Alright thanks again 🙂

how do i go about determing if there exists an inner product such that a matrix is self-adjoint with respect to this inner product. And then from there how do i find said inner product
i know that if a matrix is self adjoint then its eigenvalues are real
so my first thought is to compute said eigenvalues ; if they are not real then an inner product does not exist, but if they are then there may exist an inner product
okay thanks

hi can someone please explain or direct me how to do this modulo operation?
say theres field Z = 7 and i want to know 3^-1 in this field
how do i do that? I can't find anything on it. hopefully i've asked theq uestion clearly.
Find the a solution to the Bezout equation 3a + 7b = 1
Then b = 3^-1 in Z_7
Unless you just use the naive method of trial and error of course
thanks. so the answer would be 4?
and how do I use this equation in other examples? say Z=5 and i want 5^-1
would it be 5a+5b=1 where b=5^-1? lol
ima be so embarassed if it isnt 4
My bad
what's the proper notation?
Obviously a = 3^-1
$\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z}$
$\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ is also possible for fields with $p^n$ elements
that wasnt obvious to me lol
And that is why things are proven in mathematics, not asserted
mateo713
so another example,
say Z=5 and i want 5^-1
would it be 5a+5b=1 where a=5^-1? lol
If you have such a solution, it should be clear that 3a = 1 mod n
sorry about the notation lmao
Think about what 5 is in Z_5
it's 0, right?
Also it's a=5
Is 0 invertible ?
what did you mean by this? I feel like it went over my head. when i think of 0 in Z_5 i know Z_5 is 01234 so 5=0, no?
and 0 is invertible, yes? so what should i gain from that that i'm not gaining lmao
ohhhhhhhh
right.
I would recommend learning basic group theory and notice that 0 is not invertible
That would probably do you goid cause you look very shaky right now
gotcha. do you have any recommendations maybe youtube wise? i haven't heard anything about group theory yet. this is all coming from my first year linear algebra course.
a lot of it pops up when solving systems of equations in Z_n
they're so much fun
lmao
;-;
Would be silly to solve systems in Zn before actually properly studying Zn itself
they told us nothing about doing modulo arithmetic(?). i've been drawing clocks and doing calculations by using a clock.
lmaooooooo
so it hasn't worked for inverses

this is inverse function
so basically it means cot(x)?
in this is a another expression algebragically
Not that kind of inverse
oh
I see
so say that instead of -1 the power was 2
would the functions be the same
Think of it like this, the opposite operation of addition is subtraction, and the opposite of multiplication is division, the opposite of tan is $tan^{-1}(x)$
dldh06

Whereas $(tan x)^{-1}$ is the reciprocal, 1/tan

the reference angle is 33.7
oh I think it is by 180 (or pi) but im not 100% sure
first put the 3 on the other side
then since tangent is negative the angle is either in quadrant QII or QIV
yes I simplified it to tan^-1(2/3)=2 theta
im currently at the angles 146.3 and 326.3
but from there what do I add by to wrap it?

Why is it that when calculating the probability of the union of events A and B we subtract the probability of A*B? Seems to me that P(A*B) would satisfy the condition?
yeah
the reason we subtract it, i.e. why P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A&B), is that P(A)+P(B) counts the intersection twice.
well what i read online said P(AB) so I assumed it was multiplication

hi there
can someone show me the correct approach to this question?
this is the answer, but i do not know how to attain them
like,
i know it can be discovered using binomial distribution, but where exactly does the question tell you to use it
It doesn't, and it shouldn't have to
It presents you with a situation where the binomial distribution is appropriate to model the situation, and counts on you recognizing it and then applying it
What about this one?
What are the requirements for a binomial distribution to be used?
only 2 outcomes
fixed chances of success
independency
i think this model takes all 3
Are you sure that's all of them?
ahh
i can't remember more of it
there might be one about
having a fixed number of observations or something?
Fixed number of trials, yes
oh
That's only 1 spin
i see
so instead of using cumulative
i should simply find out the possibility of each individual outcome?
That's what the distribution tells you, yes
wait
so how do actually do that
find out the powers of 4/7 ?
that's not right though
perhaps the calculator will help
Consider thinking out the scenario that reflects each value of the random variable X
What does it mean if X=1?
Alright
basically i misinterpreted the question
i thought it means that the number of times G hits
it is actually about the number of attempts prior to hitting G
thank you for the help though

How do we get (-1) after solving (w^2+w)? I am confused

Can someone explain this to me, the answers are a = 3 and k = -2 but i got a = 4 (difference in x co ords) and k = -1 as its flipped
do you mean k=-1?
yh
your k value is incorrect
why is k not -1?
note that you didn't consider/observe the vertical stretch
i dont see it
oh yeah
theres a +2 difference at the top line rather than the +1 diff on the bottom (from the y-int to the y co-ords)
oh i see it
very subtle though
im blind yay
so is the why k =-2 then as its flipped n streched
and the the +3 for a is just cause all points are up by 3
but the stretch throws that off no
yeh
okay thank you
sneaky question just need to practice more

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
im not sure how to start this
draw a reference triangle
what?
show
say, a=tan^-1(-2/3)
mark one of the angles as a
and using that, see what you can figure out about the ratio of the two sides
Using a geometric interpreration of the values (i.e. by drawing a triangle like here) it can first be useful to use that arctan is an odd function (that is arctan(-x) = -arctan(x)) to rewrite arctan(-2/3)
Are you following this far?
kinda, so how does that help
This does so we are working with -arctan(2/3) instead of arctan(-2/3), where the expression arctan(2/3) gives us some useful information for our drawn triangle.
i guess thats what i dont understand is why it's useful
If we label the down-left-cornered angle α, what is a way to express this angle in terms of arctan, if we know the values of the triangle's sides?
would the answer be (2 * sqrt(13)) / 13
Yes. That is correct
okay, so i can use pythagorean to find the missing side and then just use the values that would apply to sin in this case
Yeah
oh ok
but would it be negative?
since the y would have to be negative in this case
since inverse tan functio spans pi/2 to -pi/2
and all x values would have to be positive in that case
so the 2 would be negative
Here we're using that the trigonometric values are the same for similar triangles, so we could construct a right triangle with two sides, one with length 2 and the other with length 3. This allows us the express one of the angles in the triangle as α = arctan(2/3)
Yes. We first use that arctan is odd and then that sin also is odd
So sin(arctan(-2/3)) = sin(-arctan(2/3)) = -sin(arctan(2/3))
And sin(arctan(2/3)) has a geometric interpretation
And then we are interested in the negative of this value
okay it makes sense now thank you

✅
@drifting badger can i ask for one more
Sure
read further
oh
What exactly is the problem presented here
i guess im confused cause now theres a variable for the y value so i can't use pythag
The value of y will vary depending on the value of x, so I'm not really sure what the problem is. Unless there is some missing information?
just says to solve for y without a calc
Hmmm. I suppose the task should be interpreted as trying to find the value of y expressed in terms of x but without the use of trigonometric functions
Don't know why that confused me
Sorry, just had a brain fart
none of my notes even have a problem like this
Well, first off: recall that $\csc (x) = \frac{1}{\sin (x)}$. This means that $y = \csc (\arctan (\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}})) = \frac{1}{\sin (\arctan (\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}))}$
Mikkel
ok
From this, we can then take the reciprocal on each side, to get $\frac{1}{y} = \sin (\arctan (\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}))$
Mikkel
This should hopefully look familiar
i dont remember doing this
.
This just means that we go from $a = b$ to $\frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{b}$
Mikkel
ok yea im still with u then
Then you can use your knowledge from question c. to get an expression for 1/y
i solved c by finding hypotenuse and then just plugging in the numbers that would apply to sin, i dont see how thats possible in this case
What was your method for finding the hypotenuse in c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Using which values for a and b?
2 and 3
So if we now construct a triangle in a similar way from $\sin (\arctan (\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}))$ what would be the values of this triangles sidelengths?
Mikkel
x would be opposite and sqrt3 adjacent
Exactly
Then you can find the hypotenuse here, expressed in terms of the variable x
but then i would two variables for the hypotenuse
or wait
so hypotenuse would be sqrt 3 + x^2
sqrt(3 + x²) just to make it clear that both terms are inside the square-root, but yes
so final answer (x * sqrt(3 + x^2)) / (3 + x^2)
First off we can simplify this to x/sqrt(3 + x²)
And second, we need to remember that we took the reciprocal earlier
So the information we have now is actually 1/y = x/sqrt(3 + x²)
And we want an expression for the value of y alone
if im just using pythag why do i need to take reciprocal
.
wouldn't i just solve for hypotenuse and then use those values for csc
yea but my final answer is r/y
We first rewrote our equation so it was in terms of sin instead of csc, since that gave us the geometric interpetration we wanted
i dont understand why thats necessary
I'm not really familiar with any geometric interpetrations of csc(x) = 1/sin(x), so I just flipped the fraction (took the reciprocal) so we could draw out a solution from our right triangle
And to keep the equality of our original equation, we also had to take the reciprocal of y which is 1/y
if csc is just sin flipped can't i just get all the sides of the triangle and use those without manipulating the equation
Then we arrived at
1/y = x/sqrt(3 + x²)
where we can take the reciprocal again on each side (this flips the fraction) and leaves us with
y = sqrt(3 + x²)/x
We didn't have to. It's just much easier (in my opinion) to interpratete sin(tan(x/sqrt(3))) geometrically than 1/sin(tan(x/sqrt(3)))
so is my answer right in terms of csc?
im just trying to solve this based on how we learned it
The final line of this should be your answer
or how i think the teacher wants it since i haven't come across a problem like this
ok so how do i get there
did i do something wrong here?
Okay. First off we have that
y = csc(arctan(x/sqrt(3)))
Which we can rewrite as
y = 1/sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3)))
This can be a bit hard to interpretate geometrically (and therefore hard to rewrite). What we do know though, is how to interpretate
sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3)))
Like we did similarly in c. with the triangle. Luckily we can rewrite 1/sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3))) as sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3))) by flipping the fraction, but for us to do that with
y = 1/sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3)))
We also need to flip the left-hand-side giving us
1/y = sin(arctan(x/sqrt(3)))
This flipping is just a temporary step for us actually being able to visualize the right-hand-side. When we have rewritten that side, we can flip each side right back again
So flipping it around is an 'extra step' per say. But it's a step that helps us actually visualizing how the right-hand-side can be rewritten
right, so doing that is just a temp manipulation but we are getting different answers which is where im confused
You forgot to flip back
It's alright lol

Hi I am confused by how to calculate the mean of this
What I have done so far is:
E[X_t] = E[W_t] + E[(-1)^(t-1)*W_(t-1)]
E[X_t] = 0 + E[(-1)^(t-1)*W_(t-1)]
but I am confused by how to evaluate this expectation:
E[(-1)^(t-1)*W_(t-1)]
pull the constant out
pain
D:
do you have to split it in terms of odd and even t
if t = 2n, then E(-W_{2n-1}) and similarly for t = 2n + 1

For number one how do i answer it in words it is functions btw
@restive solstice
Yea
What do you know about domain of a function?
you can be more precise
So i just like say what the x is
right, it's those allowed values for x
more like, it's a set of values which can be choose for x
It’s the values of x that do map to something
So the domain of f is the things where f(x) ≠ undefined
Its also asking me to use words to describe the intervol notation and set notation
That’s what “allowed values” mean
Of the graph
Idk what that means
Man
Domain is a "set" which contains values in which f(x) is "defined"
can you comprehend that?
try to get the words; set and defined.
as in, these values belong to {...} and when you plug in to f(x) you should get out a value
Ohhh ok thanks
That's basically what a domain is; it's a "set" and all values of the domain has the function defined
gotcha?
Yea got it
Now, all your graphs are drawn in a real plane right?
you have 1, 2, 1.5555, sqrt 2 everything there
Usually when we talk and graph function, we do to with real numbers
I dont understand
Yea
what do you know about real numbers?
Oh ok
i want you to see why
when dealing with real valued function
we start with set of all real numbers, then check for possible undefined points to avoid then write the domain
Ok

Could somebody explain me the formula of surface integral?
I had some questions on how you find the boundaries and why it is a double integral

Well first I wanna know why it is a double integral and not a single integral.
And btw I’m gonna be referring to the formula that helps you find the surface area of a parametrize 3Dobject
I know that usually we integrate things in third dimension using double integrals but I was wondering why.
(you sum up along x and y)
Second I know that usually the bounds depend on your parameters and the object your are parametrizing. Let’s say in case of a sphere with x = r cos u sin v
y= r sin u sin v and z= r cos v. How do you know the boundaries of both integrals?
Oh so is like (x+y) + z? Kinda that logic?
what?
for each region $\Delta x \Delta y$ you multiply the height (z-direction) f(x,y)
hannibal
base * height volume of vertical columns
Yeah I explained my self horribly on that but I get it. You have your base (xy) and then you multiply the third component right?
right
try performing a double riemann sum by hand
to approximate an integral
you'll understand the process
I was wondering how you set boundaries to your parameters. Do you know anything about that?
Sorry. I mean that usually you have a boundaries on your integrals. How do you find the boundaries? More specific how would you find the boundaries of a parametrize sphere where x=r sin u cos v, y= rsin u sin v and z =r cos u.
If you were to solve a problem of finding the surface area of this parametrized sphere. How do you know the boundaries in both integrals?
you have to find the region D
this involves spherical coordinates
it's not your typical double integral
Btw where do you get this graphics from?
Oh thought you input the stuff I was saying into a website and then it graphed it.
I haven’t used any that creates images. But I’ve seen people creating some pictures with them.
x=r sin u cos v, y= rsin u sin v and z =r cos u
this is a triple integral
are you asking about that?
Oh but I think I sorta get it. Basically we have a full circle in the center for one parameter, meaning that one parameter does a full cycle, and then the other one is kinda cut in half?
not exactly
sorry, it's 4am so i can't be asked to write it out
but you learn these with a basis of polar coordinates.
have you done single variable polar coordinates?
these guys
No, Im not in multi variable calculus yet, I’m just researching this topic for a homework research paper I have.
oh ok
I wanted to understand it a bit more before starting typing.
coordinate systems are very important
parameterizing often involves changing coordinate system to make the integral easier
you have: rectangular, polar, spherical, cylindrical, etc.

idk what to do
answer is in the top right corner
Maybe try letting u = ln^2(x)
also it looks like you'll have to do IBP more than once, so maybe tabular integration is a better idea
whats tabular integration
😭
oh i looked it up
nvm i know what it is
name was unfamiliar
but how can i derive ln^2(x)
dont think ive ever done it directly at least
use the chain rule
ye
,w derivative (ln(x))^2
just had to make sure lmao
yeah thats what i got
yeah that's right
welp gonna have fun going deriving that

give me a sec
@stone spoke
is the answer -ln x/x^2
the final answer?
yeah
did you forget to type the 2?
doesnt seem to give the right answer i dont think
it's not working out?
the result would be x(2 ln(x) x 1/x) x ((2-2 ln(x))/x^2)
hmm
tbh I've just been doing this in my head so far
lemme get a piece of paper and try it
k
the goat fr
Okay I got the same answer as your answer key
sure
oops
replied to the wrong post
all good
$\int x\ln^2(x) dx$
$$= \frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} - \int \frac{2\ln(x)}{x} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2}dx$$
$$= \frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} - \int x \ln(x) dx$$
$$= \frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} -(\frac{x^2\ln(x)}{2} - \int \frac{x}{2} dx)$$
$$= \frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} -(\frac{x^2\ln(x)}{2} - \int \frac{x}{2} dx)$$
$$= \frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} -\frac{x^2\ln(x)}{2} + \int \frac{x}{2} dx$$
$$= \boxed{\frac{x^2\ln^2(x)}{2} -\frac{x^2\ln(x)}{2} + \frac{1}{4} x^2 + C}$$
keto11
I think this should be typo free
Just do IBP once on xln^2(x)
I let u = ln^2(x)
yeah that's right
so where'd the first part come from
∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du, so uv = ln^2(x)*(x^2/2)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
please make your own server using the help channels
you have the area of each square
u can find the sides that way
and since ur looking for one of the sides (we'll say side a) then u need to isolate a in the equation
you'll get a^2 = sqrt(c^2 - b^2)
ah ok
makes sense
so instead of taking just ln x
u brought the 2 as well
damn bruh that hand writing is heavenly
thx
alright thanks for the help, means a lot, you mind if i can dm u if i need help with some other ones?
prob like 45 min to an hour
