oh so its saying that attempting to show it is dumb?
i thought it was saying attempting to show that, is futile because even if it is shown it wouldn't prove the original inequality
it says "unfortunately this is false", where this is the inequality 3abc >= whatever
yeah it's weird
but that's what they are trying to say
so when you realize that the inequality is false, even proving that a^3 + b^3 + c^3 >= 3abc is not to much use either

Working on this problem. I thought to let X be a random variable that represents the amount of distinct prizes. So we can write X=x1+x2+…x5 where xi are random variables which take on 0 if we don’t have the ith prize and 1 if we do.
Then by linearity do expectation we’d have the expected value of X would be the expected value of x1 + …. + The expected value of x5
My issue is, I’m getting stuck computing the expected value of xi after n boxes
Could anyone help?
so in your set up x1 is the event that you obtain the first prize
if you win the 1st prize with probability p, then you don't win with probability (1-p), and these are the only possible outcomes
to find expected value you take the sum of the probabilities of each outcome multiplied by their values
yeah!
But what about n=2 and onward? I was expecting somehting to come out in terms of the amount of boxes
That’s where I was getting stuck
If that makes sense
now each prize you get from a cereal box is independent and uniformly random
and in order to find the probability you win prize 1, you can take 1- the probability you dont win prize 1
The probability we don’t win prize 1 is (4/5)^(n) for n draws?
So the probability we do win it would be 1-(4/5)^(n) ?
So then we have for the expected value, 1 * the probability we do win it (above) + 0 * the probability we don’t (doesn’t matter because 0)
So the expected value is exactly just the probability that we do win it
yep!
and as a good sanity check you also have that when n=1 this gives the 0.2 you would hope for
Yeah
So then
Final answer would be
The expected value after n draws is
5(1-(4/5)^(n))

Awesome tysm

How does the median of a sequence differ from that of a random variable
Why is median of a r.v. only defined for probability distributions
Cant it be abstracted for other distributions
what kind of other distributions do you mean?
just intuitively, median means 50% is lower and 50% is higher. the probability aspect is very fundamental for that

I am trying to solve this problem. I have to calculate the integral of a vector field over the curve C which is the intersection between the cylinder x^2+y^2=4 and z=x^2. I have tried applying Stokes theorem and calculated the curl and gotten [0, 0, 2]. However I don't know how to get the normal vector n-hat and dS. Do I have to find the gradient of z = x^2?
The solution says I should get n-het dS = [2x, 0, 1]dxdy

Idk why but the only thing I end up getting is A a subset of B
getting that A is a subset of B is a good start
can you use the fact that $A\Delta B=B$ and $A\subseteq B$ to show that $A$ is empty?
Willow
yep!
thanks!
In particular that last step is only true because A is a subset of B

Hi, is there anyone who knows how to calculate limit of this function when x approaches ∞
@rugged locust Has your question been resolved?
your limit is the same as limit of sin²(x)/(x(2^x-1)) when x goes to 0
sin²(x) ~ x² around 0 and 2^x-1 ~ ln(2)x

How do i find x
just to verify, the equation is: $\log_{7}(x^{2})=(\log_{7}(x))^{2}$
Moosey
Right?
Yes
well, you can apply a log property, and do a subtitution to make it into a quadratic :)
Like 2u = u^2? u=log7 x
and you can factor this
then you sub back in for u and solve for the individual roots (one of them may be extraneous,maybe not, always good to check)

I need to determine the attributes of this relation (reflexivity, symetry, transivity)
I say, the relation is reflexive, therefore not asymetric. It is not symetric. It is antisymetric and transitive.
Am I correct ?
Can you show your proof for antisymmetry?
Yes, one sec..
And transitivity as well
Yes, youre right
Its not ? What would be a proof then ?
Well it's a number of logical steps that start from your hypotheses (here, "let x1 and x2 such that 6x1 >= 5x2 and...") and reach the conclusion you want ("x1=x2") that are all well justified
An example of valid proof :
"Suppose x² - 4 = 0.
Then (x-4)(x+4) = 0
Then x-4=0 or x+4 = 0
Then x=4 or x=-4"
In this example, the reasoning between every step is clear and well justified.
An example of invalid proof :
"Suppose f(x) = f(y).
Then x = y"
In this example, there is no logical reason or justification between lines, which makes the proof invalid
A consequence of not justifying every step is that you may reach false conclusions
In your case, you may have asserted something that isn't true...
Ok let me see...
Soooooo, for anti symetry, if I take 10 for m and 9 for n, then it is 6×10 is greater or equal to 5×9 AND 6×9 is greater or equal to 5×10, yet m =/= n
So it is not anti symetric
Let me check transivity again...
Yep
This is how my prof solved anther exercise though.
Is that a proof ?
But it is transitive. I cannot kmagine how it is not
Damn your prof doesn't know how to prove stuff
Unless you already know that if z1 >= z2 and z1 <= z2 implies that z1=z2 then there's no real point
Ok, I am watching math sorcerer atm to learn a bit about proofs. Thanks fot your help

i need help ;-;
what's the question?
polynomial
ye
is it asking to find the polynomial
what degree do you think said polynomial will be?
degree?
the highest power in the equation
highest power of x
-3?
why -?
whats that supposed to mean?
like for x^2 + 2x + 3 = 0, the degree would be 2
because 2 is the highest power of x in the given polynomial
idk if were on the same page
but like the teacher gave me an example
for another graph is it like the same thing yall are saying?
we're askign something different so i guess the teacher didnt teach about highest degree
ok so what you can start with is the "zeroes" of the function, meaning where the curve either passes through or touches the x-axis
at what x-values does it do so ?
you just wrote a non-zero y value
that's a point that will be used but it doesnt touch the x-axis
maybe it'd be easier if you think about it where y=0
is it possible if u guys just explain step by step
on how to get the answer
but like not involve me like answering
and ill jst like
i can try just ask questions to clarify or whatever when u need
kk
so to determine what the polynomial is, it's good to look at where the curve either touches or passes through the x-axis
on the graph you've given, it looks like it does that at x=-2 and x=0, right?
ye
ok so what that means is that when x=-2 or x=0, f(x)=0
so we can start setting up the polynomial to be a(x+2)^2(x-0)=y
and (x+2)^2 just means (x+2) squared
which we have because it only touches the x-axis so it's called a "double zero" and is squared
and this is how we set it up because you can see that if we put either -2 or 0 for x, the function will equal 0
the "a" is meant to be some constant (like a fraction or other number that doesnt have variables) that will may shift the function in some way
we can find what "a" is equal to by using some of the other points like (-1,2) that you mentioned earlier
if we plug those two numbers into x and y in the function i'm replying to, we'll get a(-1+2)^2(-1-0)=2
we can simplify into a(-3)^2(-1)=2
simplified: -9a = 2
so a = -2/9
we take this "a" value and plug it back into the function to (hopefully) get the right equation
oh
why is it like f(x) tho?
like when x=-2 or x=0
f(x) just means the "y-value" of the function at the point "x"
f(x)=y
so f(-2) is the "y-value" of the function at x=-2
ok ty i think i get it now
sorry if i couldn't explain well enough, good luck 🙏

How would you verify if an identity is valid through desmos
or just simply if two things are equal
^ in terms of identities of course
was told it was possible but not sure how
I mean it's not very rigorous but you can graph both expressions and see if they're the same graph
if you graph y = sin^2 x + cos^2 x
and y = 1
you'll see they're the same
for example
I'm getting this error message for some reason
below is the identity I have to have
above is what I'm at so far
well they surely arent, because they dont even have the same variables in them
I just algebraically did a lot to it
line 2 isnt an equation
well yeah thats why it works
what identity are you doing
hm, guessing they're not equal then
it's supposed to be $sin(x+y)sin(x-y)=cos^2y-cos^2x$
mj
just tracing back my steps because I'm getting stuck at a point, this seems to be it
or the thing I had before
,w sin(x+y)sin(x-y)=cos^2y-cos^2x
i plotted each side but replaced y with y_0, and set y_0 as a slider
desmos is neat
alright my simplification was correct in that case
just graphing and checking lol

Where do I even start with this
I need to find the derivative
I’m thinking of
Ln
Both sides
you can also try product rule
and you'll have to use chain at one point with the e term
Ln both sides is cleaner
you can just factor out the coefficient 1/2sqrt(pi)
and then differentiate x^2 e^-x^2
im a
uh
bit lost with this
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi}}(x^2e^{-x^2})$
Triaxyz
$\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi}}(x^2e^{-x^2}))=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi}}\frac{d}{dx}(x^2e^{-x^2})$

how to do this
i cant really see how to appraoch
i mean i did the basic stuffs such as equations sum of the roots to 2
taking their products to b , if there is atleast one complex roots then it must be in conjugate pairs
moreover there must be at least one complex roots or otherwise the sum of the roots would be 0 producing a contradiction and so
also using the given relation to get something
but nothing is working,

and im unsure if im going the right way about it
what would be the way you should go about doing this?
calculate a first?
law of cosines then law of sines
well you could use law of cosines both times but law of sines is faster
all good
yes, and then you solve for cos(A) then take inverse cos
which gets you this
yes
you need to square the lengths

I think M(R) is the set of 2x2 matrices with real elements but also not sure on that
well we dont know what notation your course uses. that said 2x2 real matrices would of course make sense cause intuitively thats also four copies of R put together
some of the important elements of rings are the 1, the units and the zero divisors. maybe try doing something with those

there are 7 terms in the sequence
Yes
Ye
Dubs
Is that how you're supposed to factorise it?
Coz one of the terms is in the denominator
i'm supposed to deflation
idk if you are fimilar with the term, like write it as product of factors of zeros
Oh
i think i can proceed from here right?
Yeah
(x+1)^2
But the denominator can't be 0 can it
i mean p(1) isn't zero right?
Nope
right, so ill only get 6 solutions
Hmm
so exactly 6 solutions
Yes
Yup
let me try it
Alright
the 7th roots of unity are going to be in polar i guess
They'll be of the form e^(2pi/n)
yes
$1=e^{(2 \pi +k)i}$
Dubs
$1^{1/7} =e^{\frac{(2 \pi k)}{7}i}$
for each k ranging from 0 to 6 i get a root right?
Dubs
roots are; 1, $e^{\frac{(2 \pi)}{7}i}, e^{\frac{(4 \pi)}{7}i}, e^{\frac{(6 \pi)}{7}i}, e^{\frac{(8 \pi)}{7}i}, e^{\frac{(10 \pi)}{7}i}, e^{\frac{(12 \pi)}{7}i}$
First and last are the same
right
Dubs
so i can just multiply all of them and get the factored form?
yes?
Reject 1
And yes, i think you can
yep
Coz the numerator is 0
all of them defintely have multiplicity 1 right?
Which makes the original expression 0
I'm not sure what that means
Np
have a great day
You too

In a rectangle, a parallel is drawn to one of the sides, which divides it into two rectangles with areas of 12cm2 and 36cm2, respectively. Find the maximum perimeter of the original rectangle, knowing that one of the two rectangles is a square.
My answer was 20sqrt(3)
And i'm not sure if it's correct or not.
@mint nebula Has your question been resolved?
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
Well there are 2 cases
Either the 12 part is the square
Or the 36 part
If 36 is the square
That means one side length of the rectangle is 6
And since the 12 rectangle also has a side length of 6 as it is a part of the same bigger rectangle
The other side length is 2 + 6
Which is 8
So the perimeter for this case is 12 + 16 = 28
Now if 12 is the square
Following the same logic one side length is the square root of 12 and the other is 4(sqrt(12))
So we double them and add together to get 10(sqrt(12))
Sqrt(12) = 2(sqrt(3))
So this is 20(sqrt(3))
So now all that’s left to determine is whether 28 or 20(sqrt(3)) is bigger
You can use a calc but I can already tell that your answer is right

Please can somebody help D:
Let f : A → B be a surjective map. Prove that there exists a subset C ⊂ A of its domain such that the restriction f|C of the map f to C is a bijection C → B
I can take a singleton subset in A
But how to extend it to all elements in A?
I feel like Choice is needed here. Have you already encountered that?
No never
But my professor is famous for testing us on things we haven't studied :/
So it might be the solution
Ohh... assume for now that A and B are finite or even small, like maybe B = 3 and A is something larger (to make a surjective map possible). How would you construct C?
Make C with three elements each mapped to each element of B
So it Is biijective
Yes. C must have 3 elements. But we need to get the elements from A so that C ⊂ A is satisfied. It's good to draw this.
"Choice" is a hint, but another hint is that in the definition of surjective map ($\forall y \in B \exists x \in A: y = f(x)$), there can be many $x\in A$.
poypoyan
Like this?
Yep, but you did not have the mapping f that is surjective. Draw an f first.
Oh wait
Also, is that really $C \subset A$, or $C \subseteq A$?
poypoyan
No. As in for each point in A, draw a line to a point in B.
Well the exercise says only $C \subset A$ and not necessarily $C \subseteq A$ (?)
Tommy
Ok, maybe we have difference in notation, but can $C$ be equal to $A$ and still satisfy $C \subset A$?
poypoyan
In my course if C is equal to A $C \subseteq A$ but not $C \subset A$
Tommy
Then if f is also injective, then we cannot find C because we are forced to set C = A, which does not satisfy $C \subset A$. Let's set this aside by letting f be not injective.
poypoyan
Good, notice the bottom point in B. There are 2 points in A pointing to it, then you chose a point among the 2, and put it in C.
f is not injective in this chat for now. What I described in my last reply is the gist of "choice": you can choose because there exist a set of elements to choose from (in our case, this is guaranteed by the $\exists x \in A$ part of the definition of surjective map). I hope this helps, then you just write this construction of C "formally".
poypoyan
Thank you again 🙂

can you explain me how to solve this derivaite
$\frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2}$
odokawa
use linearlity of deriative you can just find the derivatives of each term seprately
,, \red{\diff{}{x} \p{\df2x}} - \blue{\diff{}{x} \p{\df{1}{x^2}}}
Pure
and then using exponent rules you can write this as
,, \red{\diff{}{x} \p{2x^{-1}}} - \blue{\diff{}{x} \p{x^{-2}}}
Pure
after that you can just use normal power rule of derivative
hiii

are you busy
ill need to go in 5 mins
v and u?
You don't really need the product rule
when i have both derivatives
2x^-1 and x^-2
Only the regular power rule
what else i have to do
just differentiate them separately
what does differentiate means
Use $\dv{x} x^n = nx^{n - 1}$
jan Nejon
to take the derivative
use this
you have
,, \red{\diff{}{x} \p{2x^{-1}}} - \blue{\diff{}{x} \p{x^{-2}}}
Pure

Hello
Can I get help with principal of mathematical induction
The problem is about an atm machine
A weird AM (Automated Teller Machine) is designed to cater to the new denomination of money bills in the (country), namely, the 300 bill This machine can only dispense bills in 300 and 500 denomination bills. The good thing about this machine is it does not run out of cash
You are to:
- Prove by the principle of mathematical nduction that any amount of money greater than or equal to P800 can be withdrawn from the machine in multiples of hundreds; that is, P900, P1300, P20 000, F25 300, etc
Show that the base case is true. This amount is P800
Show that another cates true for some value k. Show that the case after k which is k+ 1 is also true,
It's a bit difficult so I was hoping I could find help on this!

Hello!
@vernal pagoda Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Show that it is true for 800. This is easy, because 800 = 500 + 300. Now, suppose the case for k is true. This means that k = 500a + 300b, for some non-negative integers a and b. Then you want to show that it is true for k + 100.

What are you confused by exactly?
Here’s what we know so far:
- There are n total slices.
- The slices are divided evenly, with a fourth given to Marc.
- Marc ate one less than everyone else.
Assuming that everyone else ate all the pizza they were given, you can write the expression with the variable n, a single division sign, and one subtraction.
If you want to make it conceptually easier, you can replace n with an actual amount of slices.
No. Everyone got a fourth of the total “n” slices.
If the total slices were n=4, everyone would get one slice and Marc would eat none as you stated.
Try to write an expression so that plugging in n=4 would get you this solution!
No, remember that n is the total slices of the pizza, and that Marc gets a fourth of those slices.
Then and only then will he eat one less than he got.
👍
Remember to write (1/4) in parentheses or write n/4 so nobody thinks that n is in the denominator lol

Let $\overline a + \overline b = \overline{a + b}$ und $\overline a \cdot \overline b =\overline{ab}$. We need to prove that $(\mathbb Z/m\mathbb Z, +, \cdot)$ is a commutative ring with $1 = \overline 1$.
yes
Well, that's a bunch, lol
So addition under the overline is just common addition, right?
yeag
So 4. is proven
similarly with 1., 5., and 7.
For the neutral element of +, we just say "pick overline 0", right?
yeag
well u can show that 0 is neutral
Ah
i cant overline so im just gonna underline
true
fairly easy to do 3. as well
yep
How do we prove 0 is neutral to +
you remember it
We need to show $\overline a + \overline 0 = \overline 0 + \overline a = \overline a$.
Because of our definition of +
We have $\overline a + \overline 0 = \overline{a + 0} = \overline a$.
Q.E.D?
yes

We define an outer + and an inner +, right?
Ah, and the reason we don't "rewrite" the + in Z with that is that it takes into account the elements we have
Right?
For overline a + overline b, they're both in Z/mZ, so it'll use our defined addition
yes
for a + b, they aren't in Z/mZ
So it doesn't have to do with our definition
Thanks

whats a better final answer?
The top one usually, I know that some places are weird and always want a rational denominator though
It really doesn’t matter though
what
i ended with $\frac{21\sqrt{19}}{19}$ if that makes a difference
Joshii
i would have to do extra manipulation to get $\frac{21}{\sqrt{19}}$

how do these lines appear when drawing a graph of a function?
Do you mean the asymptotes or?
uhh
the way I understand is that
lim of f(x) as it approaches -3 from the positive side
goes to +infinity
Yes that is correct.
so that makes the line that's from the right, right?

ohhh
1 is the vertical asymptote
and as f(x) approaches 1 from the + side
it goes to infinity

Hey yall
My buddy and I have been trying to solve this integral
and I've been working on this for several hours on my own
but i cant for the life of me get this to go where it's supposed to
I originally thought of just yanking out the first two delta functions by jamming them into a delta function, but i think imm supposed to change the p in the exponential function if i do that
💀
both of you stop fighting
banned
Anyways, I think this problem mostly boils down to the fact that I don't really knkow how to handle two dirac delta functions in the integral
One is trivial but two...im unsure how to reconcile that
that's correcct. this is for a free particle
i could think of a few physical tricks to solve this
but i'm unsure how to solve it thoroughly from a mathematical perspective
How does d³p''' work? This feels weirdly written. Are you integrating against p''' three times?
Or do you mean to say dp'''dp''dp'?
im sorry im fucking flying all over the place forgive the sloppy notation
p''' p'' and p' are all momentum "vectors", in that they each have a px py and pz component
you could just as well think of p''' p'' and p' as a b and c
let me review my dirac deltas and free particle momentum equation
Thankfully I have my quantum book near me because I was helping @royal shard a few weeks ago.
ok thank you
No guarantee I can find an answer, but maybe other <@&286206848099549185> already know.
no problem thank you for your time regardless
@slate agate Has your question been resolved?
well fuck i messed up one of the dirac delta fuctions
it's supposed to be delta(p'' - p''') delta(p''' - p')
ok that don't matter apparently you can switch em around
Yeah they're symmetric
ok so quick question
ah fuck it
someone proved it using this
anyways
thanks pardner
think im gonna trust this fuckin guy and slap it down on my paper

!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
so you multiply any number by 3 and then add by 1 if the number is odd, but if it is even then divide by 2. The idea is to see if any number can stop the cycle of 4 then 2 then 1 then 4. Which is a loop that apparently happenes with every number.

yes
is that what you would do
Uh
we can separate the terms from each other right
sqrt2 * 2sin *cosx - sqrt2 * cosx
can the cosx’s subtract
but I assume not cuz PEMDAS
is this right
Are you supposed to prove this or find x?
find x
Youre correct then
Eh wait
I dont get the last part
if I divide 2sin - 1
to factor it out
it should be sqrt2cosx - 1 right
Its (2sinx-1)(sqrt2cosx+1)
oh yeah ok
One more
do we consider the two terms we move from the right side
as a term
I have it as just 2sinx - 1
But would u put it as (2sinx-1)?
or does it not matter
Doesnt matter
You can divide by 2sinx-1 regardless
You mean subtract?
I mean divide 2sin-1 to factor it out
Then u should use parentheses
This is almost right, but you're missing a set of solution since sin(2pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2 as well.
how did I solve it wrong
What do I do to solve it correctly
I mean looking at a trig circle you would see that there are 2 solutions straight away.
Apart from that, if you use arcsin, I think you would do arcsin(y) for you first solution and pi - arcsin(y) for the second.
Yes, then you'll have like pi/6 + 2npi and pi/3 + 2npi
Ok perfect
I assume this is missing something right
its better written as pi/6 + npi
same with pi/3
my professor said to add the general solution while solving and not at the end
so 2x = pi/3 + 2npi
why?
So you can insert the n and get all the answers immediately
x = pi/6 +npi
n = 0: pi/6
n =1: pi/6 +pi = 7/6pi
That apply to the 2pi/3 also
Yeah I forgot to divide by 2 at the end.

#3. no idea where i went wrong
probably some integral or derivative
i know i should use trig identities but theres no way im memorizing those again 
aw shit
i messed up the first v
should just be -cos(tau)
gonna leave this channel open incase its still wrong, which i think it is.
$sin\alpha\cdot sin\beta=\frac{1}{2}\left[ cos\left( \alpha-\beta \right)-cos\left( \alpha+\beta \right) \right]$
Joanna Angel
this formjal helps you
yeah dude im gonna be honest i dont want to use trig identities 😭
no other way , durign integral
youhave there =
sin(tau) * sin(t - tau)
so you must use it
theres no other option? like its mathematically impossible to not use trig identities?

i believe you. trying it right now 
🙂
thanks for all the help btw. you have saved my ass a few times so far
yvw 🙂
i got -sin(t) - t + 1 lol
that is.. very wrong
this is the answer 🫡
it should be possible though. IBP using t-tau as u, du=-d(tau), dv=sin(tau)d(tau), v=-cos(tau)
maybe letters mistake somewhere ) you have to calcualte it once again
i have no clue
$\frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{1}{2}sin\left( 2x-t \right)-xcost \right]_{0}^{t}=\\\frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{1}{2}sint-tcost+\frac{1}{2}sint\right]=\frac{1}{2}\left( sint-tcost \right)$
Joanna Angel
do you know how to do it using integration by parts? so no identities.
i think it can be done
no, becasue
if we set u = t-tau and whatnot
sina 8 sinB, when you try by pats, you will go in a cricle
yea
hmmm, am i getting the u & v wrong then? here was my idea:
u = t - tau
du = -d(tau)
dv = sin(tau) * d(tau)
v = -cos(tau)
