gritty depot
#

really simple question
say I have

obtuse pebbleBOT
gritty depot
#

integral of a^u du

#

this sheet says this becomes 1/ln(a)a^u+c

#

shouldnt it just be ((a^u+1)/u+1)+c

median skiff
#

integrating exponential functions is not the same as polynomials

#

you cant just do that, same reason why differentiating a^x doesnt yield (x)a^(x-1)

gritty depot
#

gotcha

#

so since its a variable as the exponent i have to use a log

median skiff
#

pretty much

gritty depot
#

thanks

wanton hull
#

as a python user, you cube it first

#

if it doesnt have a paranthesis then i believe you cube it first in maths too

#

exponents are right associative

#

so

#

it the question is

#

$2 \times 3^2$

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

wanton hull
#

then its 2 * 9

#

18

#

im not exactly sure if it is the case in maths but im pretty sure thats how it is in programming

anyway

#

i think we can cancel out the n

Right?

Yeah because u said n = (1)

When given the question of how to find the sum of n square numbers, how do I know to go down the path of finding a telescoping series and an arithmetic progression. e.g. (n-1)^3=n^3-3n^2+3n-1 and then n^2=1/3[n^3-(n-1)^3+3n-1] (sorry if its confusing)

proud halo
#

the statement AA^T = I_n
is only true for orthonormal matrices right? not for orthogonal?

proud halo
#

the internet seems to use them interchangeably so its confusing

#

by orthonormal i mean orthogonal + each vector has magnitude 1

tardy epoch
#

Orthonormal bases are a thing

#

In linear algebra, an orthogonal matrix, or orthonormal matrix, is a real square matrix whose columns and rows are orthonormal vectors.
One way to express this is

where QT is the transpose of Q and I is the identity matrix.
This leads to the equivalent characterization: a matrix Q is orthogonal if its transpose is equal to its inverse:

where Q...

#

Columns and rows of Orthogonal matrices do form an orthonormal basis wrt to Euclidean dot product

<@&286206848099549185>

low frost
#

try that

median stone
#

So 11x0.6=6.6

Sorry

low frost
#

OH

#

OMG

#

SO STYPID IM SO DUMB

median stone
#

Well I’m way more stupid

low frost
#

multiply 0.6 by 220

#

?

median stone
#

If that makes u feel any better

#

Oh sure

#

That is incorrect still

#

Idk

#

Fuck that question

#

Why would any car need 132L of paint

#

That can flood a city

low frost
#

Idk

median stone
#

Dw

#

I think the question is stupid

#

Cuz if it isn’t that before

#

Then who knows

low frost
#

try 4800

#

maybe that might work

median stone
#

Ye wrong sorry still

#

Don’t worry

#

Thanks for helping

low frost
#

sorry

#

I hope you figure out your question

nocturne minnow
low frost
#

you have to take into account the actual size of the real car

#

bc 0.6 x 20 is 12**

nocturne minnow
#

It does, it's proportions

low frost
#

doesn’t make sense

nocturne minnow
#

11 cm/220cm = 0.6 L/x L

#

x equals 12

#

It's ratios

low frost
#

oh wait

#

i think i see

#

0.6l / 11 inches = 12

median stone
#

Ye I think that question is mudded

#

12 surely it the right answer

#

I think the system is bugged

#

Thanks guys tho

#

Much appreciated for helping

#

let $G=(V,E,W)$ be an undirected connected and positively weighted graph and let $T_1,T_2$ be two minimum spanning trees of $G$. prove that the sum of squares of the weights of $T_1$ is equal to that of $T_2$

warm shaleBOT
#

metnal

mental cosmos
#

doesnt that follow directly from the definition of a minimum spanning tree?

#

minimum spanning trees in a graph have the same weight which is the minimal one possible, square the weights and they'll stay equal...

is that it or am i missing something?

spice storm
#

Can someone demonstrate if the relation ~ is reflexive? Define ~ on R by a~b iff a^2+b^2=10

spice storm
#

I understand the definition of reflexive and how some problems ask you to almost put a in for b, but in this case I do not understand

tardy epoch
spice storm
#

10

#

that's it??

#

I thought that was transitive

tardy epoch
#

use this definition or one from your book/notes

spice storm
#

Then wouldn't that be symmetry based on what you provided?

#

A book I have that is assisting me in the class gives another example where ~ is the relation on Z where a~b if a+b is even, then it continues to show a+a=2a which is even by def of evens

tardy epoch
tardy epoch
spice storm
#

that's where I get lost tho. I have a^2+a^2=2a^2, but I don't know where to go from there

#

I think it has something to do with inequalities but that's where the disconnect is

tardy epoch
#

there are no inequalities needed for reflexivity

spice storm
#

so ur saying to show reflexivity, I can just write that a^2+a^2=10

#

Oh wait

#

I see it now

spare ibex
#

I've solved this by turning the equation into -Tan(2x) = 1 and going on to figuring out what x is. In the end, I got the correct answer which is x = 45. However, I was wondering if there are any other ways to find x other than my way of doing so?

median yacht
#

Maybe by expanding cos(2x) and sin(2x)

spare ibex
#

I tried that but it made it even more confusing. The professor I was watching turned Sin^2(2x) into "1-Cos^2(2x)" which I have never been taught before

median yacht
#

But there is no squares here

spare ibex
#

This is how he's done it

median yacht
#

$$\frac{\sin(2x)}{1-\cos(2x)} = 1$$
$$\sin(2x) = 1 - \cos(2x)$$
$$2\sin(x)\cos(x) = 1 - \cos^2(x) + \sin^2(x)$$
$$2\sin(x)\cos(x) = \sin^2(x) + \sin^2(x)$$
$$2\sin(x)\cos(x) = 2\sin^2(x)$$
$$\sin(x)\cos(x) =\ sin^2(x)$$
$$\sin(x)\cos(x) - \sin^2(x) = 0$$
$$\sin(x) (\cos(x) - \sin(x)) = 0$$

warm shaleBOT
median yacht
#

By expanding

#

But maybe I commited a mistake

spare ibex
#

OHH I just remembered Sin^2x+Cos^2x=1

rose zinc
#

hello, can someone help me with something like 2,3 x 10^3

frank horizon
#

Do u want to know the number written out from scientific form

rose zinc
#

no it was an example, id like to have an explination for that

frank horizon
#

Oh

#

An explanation for what

#

Like why it is written like that?

rose zinc
#

for how the scientific form is build and how i can calculate with it

#

btw sorry for my english im actually german

frank horizon
#

Np

#

So scientific form is useful for very small or big numbers

#

Or conversions

#

So if you were dealing with an electron charge

#

It’s a very very small number

#

And to express it, you would approximate it with (number).(number)*10^(degree of magnitude)

#

So for 1kOhm resistor

#

For example

#

Instead of writing it as 1000Ohms

#

You would do 1.0*10^3

rose zinc
#

ahh okay

alpine raven
#

imagine you want to write the mass of the su'

#

sun*

frank horizon
#

And the number raised to 10 is how you should move ur decimal point

rose zinc
#

yeah

frank horizon
#

Negative you go to left, positive you go to the right by the number above the 10

rose zinc
#

ohh okay

frank horizon
#

And when converting to scientific you always want the decimal point after the first number

#

2.1

#

4.6282

rose zinc
#

really omg

nocturne minnow
#

Basically you want the number to be between 0 and 10 exclusively, so $0 \leq x < 10$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

rose zinc
#

okay

frank horizon
#

It’s also very useful when multiplying numbers

#

You can just add the numbers above the 10

#

And multiply the two numbers

rose zinc
#

alright

frank horizon
#

(a * 10^8)*(b * 10^-5)

#

Would be (a*b)*10^3

rose zinc
#

but what when the exponent is a mathematical fraction

frank horizon
#

Uh for scientific form you usually don’t see that

#

But you would probably just take the root of the exponent of 10

rose zinc
#

ohoh

frank horizon
#

And the multiply it by the first number

#

But then it wouldn’t be useful to express it in scientific form

rose zinc
#

youre right

#

hmm

#

anyways so thank you very much i think i got it for now

frank horizon
#

Np good luck

rose zinc
#

thanksss

bright mauve
#

i just dont know what im supposed to do here

obtuse pebbleBOT
bright mauve
#

something like find the maximum length the side can be or something im not sure

#

this place is really neat the way ya gots it set up here :3

forest sinew
#

you gotta set up some equations

#

i can give you a start

#

the thing is rectangular right?

#

so let 2 of the side lengths be x

#

whats the area?

bright mauve
#

x squared

forest sinew
#

no i mean

bright mauve
#

sorry, am listening

bright mauve
#

ohh

forest sinew
#

2 of the sides as in 2 of the congruent sides

#

the other 2 are not x

bright mauve
#

okayy

#

so then. we dont have an area because we'd need a variable to represent the other sides right?

forest sinew
#

you already have a variable

#

you dont need more

bright mauve
#

uh.

forest sinew
#

think of how you can find the areA

#

2 of the sides are x

#

what are the other 2 sides?

#

what information havent you used

bright mauve
#

280 minus x?

#

am i.. at least getting warmer

forest sinew
#

idk you should convince yourself

#

draw a picture

bright mauve
#

kay, picture drawing commences

forest sinew
#

you know what all the sides should add up to right?

#

so draw a picture, label all the sides, and add them up

bright mauve
#

so two opposite sides are labeled as x, yes?

#

OH WAIT i got a spark in my brain then it went awayy ugh

#

somethin about if i subtract x from 280 i get what the two reamining sides add up to and then i split that in two but idk that doesnt sound like it makes sense..

#

oh yea and there's still the area thing to figure out..

forest sinew
#

you have a way to check your guesses

bright mauve
#

i dont got none ;w;

#

like obvi i can't solve 280-x

forest sinew
#

i mean it doesnt make sense

#

you have two sides of length x

#

the total is 280

#

so how much is left after the 2 sides of length x

bright mauve
#

280-2x?

#

closer? not so much?

#

im sorry im kinda dumb..

#

what i have in my head now is 280-2x = the two remaining sides lengths totaled

forest sinew
#

okay so you have that much left for the remaining 2 sides ...

#

how long is each side

bright mauve
#

i.. dont know lol

#

cuz is a rectangle, two sides will share a length, and the other two sides will share a length

lone dirge
#

Right, let's call the width x and the length y

forest sinew
#

you should stop guessing and badmouthing yourself IMO

bright mauve
#

i perfer length and height but am listening

forest sinew
#

you could solve this if you sat down and spent some time drawing and checking yourself

lone dirge
#

Fine

#

So what's the area?

bright mauve
bright mauve
lone dirge
#

and 2x+2y =

bright mauve
#

the perimeter

lone dirge
#

was it 280?

bright mauve
#

280 = 2x + 2y

#

okayy

lone dirge
#

So x+y?

bright mauve
#

half the perimeter?

lone dirge
#

140?

bright mauve
#

... so x+y = 140?

lone dirge
#

Now when is x*y is maximized subject to x+y=140

bright mauve
#

wait huh

lone dirge
#

If x=0 and y=140

#

Then x*y = 0

#

Bad idea

bright mauve
#

okay

lone dirge
#

x =1 and y=139

#

Then xy = 139... we are getting better

#

x=2 and y=138

floral mirage
#

280-2x=y and Area=x*y can you not sub it in and isolate for x?

bright mauve
#

so you would go right to the middle then

#

like uhh

#

70 and 70 i think

lone dirge
#

That's the intuition

#

But you should get there formally

bright mauve
#

wait but isnt that a square then

lone dirge
#

A square is a type of rectangle isn't it

bright mauve
#

....

#

oh dont tell me thats the solution hsgdgjw

#

lol ooohhh nooo

#

thats so sick

floral mirage
#

are you able to check the answers?

lone dirge
#

But go with Ayamew to prove that's the answer

bright mauve
floral mirage
#

T_T feel you bro

lone dirge
#

y=(280-2x)

#

no

bright mauve
#

okay checking now..

lone dirge
#

140-x

#

2y = 280 -2x

bright mauve
#

70 = 140, nope, doesnt line up

floral mirage
#

hm

bright mauve
lone dirge
#

so (y = 140-x)

#

now... the area is... x*y = ?

floral mirage
#

im pulling up the iconic ms paint to get the visual

bright mauve
#

49,000

#

no

#

4,900

#

jeebus

#

im cool with that answer i guess lol

#

idk how to show my work for it

lone dirge
#

That was only an intution

bright mauve
#

all my work was 💻on here and 🧠in this thing

lone dirge
#

You should go with Ayamew's advice, move to a single variable function for the area

#

Then find a maximum to this function

floral mirage
#

wait sorry the correct form for y is y=(280-2x)/2

lone dirge
#

Yes

floral mirage
#

and then simplify

#

and it should give 140-x=y

bright mauve
#

im still here btw just kinda listening now

floral mirage
#

yeye

lone dirge
#

So x*y = (140-x)x = 140x -x^2

floral mirage
#

complete the square?

bright mauve
#

goodness youve lost me at this point but this is an entertaining discussion

#

math people amirite lol

floral mirage
#

thats how you find max area generally we use the vertex equation for this

#

y=c(x-a)^2+k kinda of thing

#

and k is the max area

lone dirge
#

Hmm

bright mauve
#

whenever y'all are ready i would like to close the room btw

#

got an answer and some work written down, thank you all 💙

lone dirge
#

But...

#

You don't know how to generally get there

#

You should be able to prove your answer is right

bright mauve
#

hold on i'll take a pic and show what i have

lone dirge
#

Where did you lost me?

#

Do you agree that y= 140-x?

bright mauve
#

this is all i really need for a grade tbh.. hehe

lone dirge
#

Wait, bare with me for a sec

bright mauve
#

am listening owo

lone dirge
#

x+y = 140

#

=> y= 140-x

#

True?

bright mauve
#

uh,.. yea yea makes sense

lone dirge
#

Then, xy = x(140-x)

bright mauve
#

took me a sec lol

floral mirage
#

so so ok ok im getting it there my brain

#

is

#

wow

jade light
#

Hello.

bright mauve
#

hoiii welcome to math peeps talkin

floral mirage
#

ok so you know the formula ax^2+bx+c right?

jade light
#

Can somebody help me study my benchmark I have tomorrow

floral mirage
#

the quadratic equation

bright mauve
#

ye ye that form! i think that's standard

lone dirge
#

So, the area, xy = x(140-x) = 140x-x^2

floral mirage
#

ye ye so c=(b/2)^2

jade light
#

I’m so confused

floral mirage
#

use that formula for c to complete the euqation first

lone dirge
#

No you need to find a maximum to this parabola 140x-x^2

bright mauve
#

should be above this category here

#

this one is occupied ehehe

floral mirage
#

-x^2+140x+ c

#

use the equaiton to find c

#

the one I gave

lone dirge
#

Forgot the x Ayamew

#

140x

bright mauve
#

y'all im sorry i really want to move to my next questionn

floral mirage
#

sorry real quick

#

once you find c

#

just follow the steps to vertex equation

#

complete the square and shit and the last number equals max area

#

you can find tutorial online of the vertex equation

lone dirge
#

Shantie, the trick that I walked you through is nice, but it's not the way you should solve it...

floral mirage
#

wahts his question?

lone dirge
#

You need to be able to justify your answer

bright mauve
#

<:/

#

folks, im only doing this for a grade

lone dirge
#

FINE

bright mauve
#

sgdhwg im soryyyy

#

to disappointt uwaaaa

lone dirge
#

🙂

#

Go on

Well when you divide you get another polynomial

#

Can you divide again?

Is this not correct that I can determine A from the inverse of E1^-1 ... Ek^-1

#

Like I did on the picture with k=4

#

Determine for each i = 1, 2, 3, 4 the elementary matrix $E_i^{−1}$
and use these to determine A

warm shaleBOT
#

SimonWin

frail depot
#

that's the main question

frail depot
# frail depot

Then obviously, multiply, but I'll wait till i know it's at least right 😂

civic zealot
#

assuming E4E3E2E1A = I, then yes.

frail depot
frail depot
#

But like

#

I don't think I've been told that

civic zealot
#

Like, what are these Ei's how are they related to to A.
You just posted a bunch of matrices and asked if they're equal to A? What's A?

frail depot
#

Ye so it's told

#

that the elementary equation operations ero1 ero2, ero3 and ero4 in that SPECIFIC order can transform to the identity matrix

#

And then I've created E_i corresponding to each ero_i

#

So since they say " in that SPECIFIC order can transform to the identity matrix"

#

It should be valid, yes?

#

It is stated that an unknown 3 x 3 matrix A, which includes a parameter a ≠ 0, can be transformed into the identity matrix by performing row operations ero1, ero2, ero3, and ero4 in that order.

civic zealot
#

Yes. That would mean they multiplied $A$ by $E_1, E_2, E_3, E_4$ to get the identity. So $E_4E_3E_2E_1A = I$. \
You can then rewrite that as your oringal post.

warm shaleBOT
#

Zybikron

frail depot
#

Find the elementary matrix E_i^-1 associated with each i = 1, 2, 3, 4 row operation and use them to determine A.

#

Thats the questions in english

frail depot
#

Before doing the operation?

civic zealot
#

sure

frail depot

Okay, awesome

hallow cradle
#

i can't understand this question if it uses factorials and idk
Every day at school, Jo climbs a flight of 6 stairs. Jo can climb using 1, 2
or 3 steps or a combination of any of them. How many ways can Jo climb
the flight of 6 stairs?

hybrid gull
#

I'd start by listing out the possibilities

twin sapphire
#

uuuh thats a lot of them no?

hallow cradle
#

i dont think so

twin sapphire
#

this is fibonacci esque

hallow cradle
#

it is?

#

no?

twin sapphire
#

lets consider the first step

#

and if we have n stairs

#

we can do 1 stair 2 stair or 3 stair,

hallow cradle
#

there are 6 stairs

twin sapphire
#

we'll replace n by 6

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

its just for you to understand

hallow cradle
#

ok i will let you continue my bad

twin sapphire
#

so the total number of ways

#

is the number of ways if we chose to start with 1 stair + number of ways if we chose to start with 2 stairs + number of ways if we chose to start with 3 stairs

#

right?

hallow cradle
#

i think so

twin sapphire
#

lets call T(n) the number of ways for n stairs in total

#

so essentially

#

T(n) = T(n-1)+T(n-2)+T(n-3)

twin sapphire
#

T(n-1) is the number of ways to climb the whole stairs if we start by 1

#

since there remains n-1 stairs to climb

#

same for starting with 2 or 3 stairs

#

is it ok?

hallow cradle
#

the options are in like

#

numbers

#

whole numbers

twin sapphire
#

wdym?

hallow cradle
#

A. 13
B. 18
C. 20
D. 22
E. 24

twin sapphire
#

oh ok

#

but we'll do generally

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

is what i said ok,

#

?

hallow cradle
#

yes

twin sapphire
#

and maybe you should indeed list out everything

hallow cradle
#

that was my fault

#

i am so sorry

twin sapphire
#

dont be lol

hallow cradle
#

do u know combinatorics

twin sapphire
#

i know

hallow cradle
#

maybe that works

twin sapphire
#

what grade is this?

hallow cradle
#

7th

#

so its just

#

basic

twin sapphire
#

yeah oik

hallow cradle
#

algebra

twin sapphire
#

so then just list out everything

#

using a choice tree for example

hallow cradle
#

yea

twin sapphire
#

first step: 3 choices

#

then for each branch list the remaining number of stairs

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

and continue to expand the tree until you get to 0 stairs

#

and count the number of paths

#

that get to 0 stairs

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

or you can build your way up

twin sapphire
#

start with 1 2 3 stairs

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

and then compute 4,5,6

#

its easier

#

so T(1)=?

#

how many choices for 1 stair

hallow cradle
#

1

twin sapphire
#

ok

#

T(2)=?

hallow cradle
#

2

twin sapphire
#

ok

#

T(3)

hallow cradle
#

6

twin sapphire
#

list them

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

for example say 1 1 1 for 3 times one stair

#

1 2 for 1 stair then 2

hallow cradle
#

ok

#

1 for 1 times one stair

twin sapphire
#

i meant just for T(3)

#

the other are good

hallow cradle
#

o

#

hmm

#

there are 6 possible ways though

#

do you want me to list all of those?

twin sapphire
#

try

hallow cradle
#

ok

twin sapphire
#

6 isnt that much

hallow cradle
#

yea

twin sapphire
#

dont need to put them all at once

#

go for the obvious ones first

hallow cradle
#

1 1 1 for 3 times one stair,

#

3 for one times 3 stairs

#

1 2 for 1 then 2 stairs

#

2 1 for 2 then 1

twin sapphire
#

and?

#

this is a trick question

#

the right answer was 4 not 6

hallow cradle
#

oh

twin sapphire
#

thats why i asked

#

the answer wasnt just factorial

#

i wanted you to count them for the first 3 cases

#

then use the formula to find the other ones

#

so T(4) = ?

twin sapphire
hallow cradle
#

ok

#

9

twin sapphire
#

T(3) was 4 not 6

hallow cradle
#

oh right

twin sapphire
#

so?

hallow cradle
#

t4 is 6

twin sapphire
#

break it down pls

hallow cradle
#

t1 is 1, t2 is 2, t3 is 4. T(4) = T(3) + T(2) + T(1). 7 = 4 + 2 + 1

#

its 7 actually

twin sapphire
#

yeah

#

ok

#

so now carry on

#

T(5) =

hallow cradle
#

ok

#

13

twin sapphire
#

the last one

#

T(6)

hallow cradle
#

24

twin sapphire
#

yay

hallow cradle
#

ur a genius

twin sapphire
#

no, i already did this exercise

hallow cradle
#

oh wow when

twin sapphire
#

or something similar

#

like not the exact setup

#

but the maths were the same

hallow cradle
#

that was a very nice solution though

#

intuitive

twin sapphire
#

when i said its Fibonacci eesque

#

its because F(n) = F(n-1)+F(n-2)

#

its the definition of the fibonnaci sequence

hallow cradle
#

oh i was thinking of another sequence

#

when u said that

twin sapphire
#

and the sequence we were using is called the Tri-bonacci sequence

#

since we add the three last terms

#

to get the next one

hallow cradle
#

how did you know that you were supposed to use this sequence and not like any other method

twin sapphire
#

when you have possibilities like this

#

try to reduce the problem to a smaller version

#

like i did

#

I considered the first choice joe has

#

either 1 2 or 3 stairs

#

then once this choice is made we can link the total number of possibilities to the number of possibilities in each case

#

which are smaller

#

since with the first choice joe climbed some stairs

#

and i write mathematically

#

T(n) = T(n-1)+T(n-2)+T(n-3)

#

once you have this we can compute what happens for the first number of stairs like we did by hand

#

and for a more advanced version

hallow cradle
#

yea

twin sapphire
#

using more maths you can deduce a general formula

#

but its more end of highschool college maths

hallow cradle
#

nice

twin sapphire
#

thats what you would use if the exercise said

#

jo has to climb 537 stairs

#

for example

#

you couldnt do what we did by hand on an on

#

it would take too long

hallow cradle
#

thats true

#

anyways, it was great having you to talk about this math problem

#

Thanks for helping me

valid comet
#

h = -16t^2 + 128t when will it hit the ground

valid comet
#

im so confused

brave bramble
#

When h = 0. In other words, when:
0 = -16t² + 128t

#

That can be solved by factoring. Remember to check for common factors!

valid comet
#

Ok

#

im at -16t(t - 8)

#

but idk what to do after

#

idk what to do

dense pasture
#

next step the easiest part!
if x * y = 0
this means either x or y has to be 0 right (x = 0 or y = 0)? cause otherwise how u gonna get 0 as the answer?

now going back to -16t(t - 8) = 0
if -16t(t - 8) = 0 then either -16t = 0 or (t - 8) = 0
from there u can solve for t

valid comet
#

So with the (t - 8) do I do the thing where make it 8

#

and is the -16t the 0 because its not in parentheses

dense pasture
#

yeah that is the answer, t = 8

For something like this you would want to re-arrange to make t on it's own
(move everything to the right side of the equal sign except for t)

so for
-16t = 0
you divide both sides by -16
which makes t = 0

t - 8 = 0
to make t on its own you add both sides by 8
t - 8 = 0
t - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8
t - 0 = 8
t = 8

valid comet
#

Hi there! I have this question "What are all possible results of the expression (n % m), where n and m are
integer?"

violet sentinel
#

% is the modulo operator?

sick dragon
#

yes!

wanton hull
#

all possible values?

sick dragon
#

yes!

violet sentinel
#

it would be 0 to m - 1 right?

#

as long as n < m

wanton hull
#

$n \text{ mod } m = x \implies x \in [0,m-1)$?

violet sentinel
#

it's the number of moms

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

wanton hull
violet sentinel
#

$ n \mod m $ I think

wanton hull
#

lol

#

$\mod$

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

sick dragon
#

hahahaha

violet sentinel
#

$\mod{n}{m}$

warm shaleBOT
#

MellowDramaLlama

wanton hull
#

lmao

violet sentinel
#

ugh nvm

#

but does that make sense Mau?

wanton hull
#

$n \mod m$

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

violet sentinel
#

Basically if you had something like n (mod 5), the only possible answers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

sick dragon
#

It makes some sense but I need more information i guess

wanton hull
#

hold on

#

what is either of them is negative

sick dragon
#

okay okay

wanton hull
#

$x \in (-(m-1),m-1)$?

sick dragon
#

so it can't be b because is the reminder

#

i think it means only positive numbers

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

wanton hull
#

u told integers

sick dragon
#

oh yeah

#

that's true

#

there was a question before involving shifting to negatives

sick dragon
#

nice

jolly ginkgo
wanton hull
#

mb

jolly ginkgo
#

I'm attracted

wanton hull
#

$x \in {-(m-1) ............ m-1}$?

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

wanton hull
sick dragon
#

hahahahah

#

thanks guys

tardy heart
#

I kind of get the unit circle, but I am stuck on this problem

wanton hull
#

draw a triangle

#

and mark the sides

#

you'll get the other side using pytho's

#

use the quadrant info to determine the sign of sin theta

tardy heart
undone rover
#

quadrant implies a cartesian plane

tardy heart
#

What is that?

undone rover
#

literally just a graph

tardy heart
#

Oh

#

So I know the hypotenuse is 13

#

But I still dont understand which side the adjacent is on

violet sentinel
#

so look at quadrant IV

#

and how the triangle is drawn

wanton hull
tardy heart
tardy heart
wanton hull
#

find x

tardy heart
#

?

wanton hull
#

i think yea

#

so x is 5

tardy heart
#

Sweet

#

So how did you know

#

Where to place the 12

#

Adjacent

wanton hull
wanton hull
wanton hull
tardy heart
#

5/13

wanton hull
#

yes

tardy heart
#

Sorry I am just confused on where you place the theta

wanton hull
#

but wait

#

what is the sign of sin in IV quadrant?

tardy heart
#

-?

wanton hull
wanton hull
#

so

#

$\sin \theta = \frac{-5}{13}$

warm shaleBOT
#

bettim

tardy heart
#

Ohhh

#

Ok sweet

#

Thanks for the help

#

I will probably have a question on another problem in a couple of minutes

#

But until then thanks again 😉

lavish nymph
#

Can someone help me do this

royal basin
#

have you made a diagram yet?

lavish nymph
#

no

royal basin
#

make a diagram

lavish nymph
#

how

royal basin
#

read the problem and map out her walking path

lavish nymph
#

I dont know how to do that

#

could you do it for me

royal basin
#

suppose there's no way to avoid that... give me a moment

lavish nymph
#

ok

royal basin
#

tina's path goes from A to B to C

lavish nymph
#

so what am I solving for

royal basin
#

do you understand why this diagram represents the problem?

lavish nymph
#

yea

royal basin
#

do you see where i've put a question mark on the diagram?

lavish nymph
#

yes

royal basin
#

do you understand what the question mark refers to?

lavish nymph
#

yes

#

side c?

royal basin
#

no, i did not mark any side with the lowercase letter c.

lavish nymph
#

ok

#

I think I know how to do it still

#

would the answer be 1.13

royal basin
#

cannot say for sure without seeing your work.

lavish nymph
#

I just used the law of cosines formula and plugged in 1.2 ,0.5 and 70deg

royal basin
#

the angle in your triangle isn't 70°.

#

it is this angle in red that you want to use in the law of cosines formula, NOT 70°.

lavish nymph
#

uh

royal basin
#

do you want to ask something?

lavish nymph
#

would it be 0.7 then

#

did I do this right

royal basin
#

no

lavish nymph
#

whats wrong

royal basin
#

why'd you put zero as your angle now?

lavish nymph
#

oh wait

#

is it theta

royal basin
#

yes, that is theta.

lavish nymph
#

is this right

royal basin
#

also i deliberately didn't write its value on my diagram.

#

you were supposed to actually think about what's written on the diagram,

#

not throw it into mathway

lavish nymph
#

idk how to

royal basin
#

you don't know how to what

lavish nymph
#

idk what to do

#

if what I did in mathway is wrong

royal basin
#

what's wrong is your attitude of "oh i will just throw this into mathway and it will give me a magic number and i will hope for the best and ask if it's right"

royal basin
#

are you able to find the value of theta here?

lavish nymph
#

ok

royal basin
#

no mathway allowed, and really no mathway necessary either.

lavish nymph
#

how would I

#

idk how to
