Cause a^2 b^2 = (ab)^2
And we have -(-2 a^2 b^2) = 2a^2 b^2
There's a trick, recall (x - y)^2 = x^2 - 2xy + y^2 >= 0 for all x, y
So we just have 4 - 2xy >= 0
Yeah we just sub in x^2 + y^2 = 4
Shit that's the maximum value
(The min value of xy is actually -2, not 2)
why is it not -4^2 + 2(xy)^2?
ok i get it
so how do we proceed from here?
Then just sub everything in, so 4 + 4ab becomes 4 + 4(-2) = -4
-((a^2 + b^2)^2 - 2a^2 b^2)) = -(4^2 - 2(ab)^2) = -(4^2 - 2(-2)^2)
= -8
-4 - 8 = -12
We already did this
Just sub ab = -2 in
let just ignore everything for a sec
we have 4ab + 4(ab)^2
act nvm
i get it
tks for the help

Given z = x + iy
u(x,y) and v(x,y) are some function of variables, x and y, such that the powers of each variable is at most 1
f(z) = u(x,y) + i v(x,y)
I am wondering if f(z) in terms of z is also at most of order 1, and if so, how do i prove it?
Im working on part (b)
I will present my solution to (a)
uxx = d/dx (ux) = d/dx (vy) = d/dx (uy) = d/dx (-vx)
uxx = uxx = vyx = uyx = - vxx
uyy = d/dy (-vx) = d/dy (ux) = d/dy (vy)
uyy = -vxy = uxy = vyy
er...some handwave magic(i don't know how to prove the following) i know is not generally true, but for analytic functions, i believe the order of 2nd derivatives of u and v wrt x or y does not matter.
so.... uxy = uyx etc
so uyy = uxx, - vxy (= uyy) = vyx(= uxx) which is equal to 0.
part (a) done
i hope
part (b) attempt:
Integrating...uxy, uyy, vxy, vyy wrt y
uy = A1(x) + k1
ux = A2(x) + k2
vx = A3(x) + k3
vy = A4(x) + k4
Integrating...uxx, uyx, vxx, vyx wrt x
ux = B1(y) + c1
uy = B2(y) + c2
vx = B3(y) + c3
vy = B4(y) + c3
Integrating them all with respect to (insert variable) to reobtained u and v
u = k1y + yA1(x) + G1(x) + r1 = k2x + xA2(x) + H1(y) + r2 = c1x + xB1(y) + H2(y) + r3 = c2y + yB2(y) + G2(x) + r4
where A, B, G, H are functions of at most order 1
comparing coefficients
and (assuming true) that uxy = uyx
k2x + xA2(x) + H1(y) + r2 = c2y + yB2(y) + G2(x) + r4
r2 = r4 = r1 = r3
yB2(y) = 0
xA2(x) = 0
k2x = G2(x) = G1(x) = c1x
H1(y) = c2y = k1y = H2(y)
yA1(x) = xB1(y) which are absent in the other possible forms, so = 0
therefore, u(x,y) is at most order 1 in u and v.
Can do the same for v(i did and i think its the same...so i won't post here, but i can in comments)
So yeah, how do i show that f(z) in terms of z is at most order 1.
trivially, by inspection, i can see that Q1(z) + Q2(z^2) + ... orders of z, are linearly independent wrt z.
(i am bad at linear algebra)
But idk how to prove it in general, that there is no composition of function of z(like say... L(z)/Oz^n etc), such that f(z) must be in terms of z(order 1) only.

Could you summarize your question at this point?
@proven spindle
If u and v are at most degree one, then you have f(z) = (ax + by + c) + (dx + ey + g) i
For some coefficients a-g.
Given ux = uy and ux = vy and uy = -vx we have
a = b = e = -d so we have
f(z) = (ax + by + c) + (dx + ey + g) i
= (ax + ay + c) + (-ax + ay + g) i
= a(x + iy) + a(y - ix) + c + gi
= az - aiz + w
= (1 - i)az + w

s = r*theta
2πr = S
Means
360°r = S
So you need
(360-102)°r= s???
I just thought it works this way
right, so just multiply 102 by pi/180 and then 2* (102pi/180)
204pi/180 which simplifies to 17pi/15
3.57
right sorry, I had a typo, i did mean 3.56
3.56 still came up wrong
I dont understand why its not giving you it as correct, that should be correct
yea
does it tell you to round to a certain place?
maybe it wants exact, try 17pi/15
i assumed they wanted it in radical form but still
okay
nope, incorrect
i have one more attempt lmao
Why am i incorrect?
ima try yours rq
516pi/180
yeah, 3.56 is quite literally the answer
is there any more specific directions at the top of the page or anywhere else?
Should you simplify it?
no they dont care about simplifying when turning it in online
i mean unless youre using a different keyboard that has modified english letters that webassign isnt reading 😂
I submitted similar questions before this, and all are correct
maybe it wants 3.56047167407
i wont try it for now lol, since its my last attempt
yeah
il do it infront of the professor incase it comes up wrong
have a good one, thanks

for the last part i understand that it maximises the denominator and thus minimises v^2 but im confused how to prove that the turning point of F(theta) is a max and not a min

pls help
what do you have to do?
derive?
product rule
[A * B]' = A'*B + A*B'
apply to f(x)
and you have it
find the derivative using the rules of derivation
@cedar lintel Has your question been resolved?
apply the product rule
I don't know how to solve it 😦
consider u as the first term (3x^4+..) and v as the second term
now first differentiate u w.r.t x and multiply v
next diff v w.r.t u and multiply u
add both of these n that's the result

is 9/loge(p+1) not differentiated
because its considered like an coeeficient of loge(x+1)???
Yes
Remember that p is just a constant
So ln(p + 1) is also a constant
And 9/ln(p + 1) is also a constant

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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
For R1, why it’s symmetric and transitive? I can’t see from there, isn’t for symmetric, we need to have (a,b) and (b,a); (b,c) and (c,b)
if we don’t have symmetric in R1, how we know it’s transitive?
Oh r1
Isn’t it just (a,a)
yeah
whats the symmetric counterpart of a,a
ofc a,a itself
So we need not say anything about b and a and the relation =
so there you have it its symmetric
So like the case for aa,bb,cc, we ignore symmetric and transitive? Or assume that it’s already in there?
Symmetric relies on aRb being in the relation, then it implies bRa is also in the relation
No you’re missing the point of symmetry
Yea, that means we need (a,b) and (b,a)
It tells if if a is related to b then b is related to a
No you don’t
Because neither are in R
You need to start with 1 of them in the relation
You need to start with the statement “(a, b) ∈ R”
Then symmetry tells you ah, then “(b, a) ∈ R”
But you don’t even have the first line
You’re looking at an if A then B statement but you don’t have that A is true
Yes, that’s why I wonder why we can put that as equivalence
Well you don’t need it
Since we don’t have that to prove it’s symmetric
The definition of symmetry says if (a, b) is in R, then so must (b, a)
@scenic fjord do you need help?
But (a, b) is not in R, so there’s nothing to discuss
(For all pairs (a, b), clearly all the other combinations also aren’t in R)
Hmm, the point of me not clear is, I understand (a,b) is not in R so nothing can be discussed. But how come we can conclude its equivalence relation? Equivalent relation need to be reflexive, symmetric and transitive
Okay
It’s confusing because they use a b c for elements
But from R1, we have nothing to discuss for symmetric and transitive
And the definition of symmetry also uses a b
But they are not the same letters so let’s switch them up
Definition: a relation R is symmetric if for all 𝛂, 𝛃, (𝛂, 𝛃) ∈ R implies (𝛃, 𝛂) ∈ R
Have you seen that definition before?
why are you speaking riddles?
its a simple doubt
why make it so complicated?
just some common sense and its done
Yeah okay they use x and y
That’s good
So let’s check if the relation is symmetric
Yes, but clearly from R1, I didn’t see any y😅
Or they let y=x?
So for everything in R, we need to check this: flip the pair around, is it still in R?
Does that make sense
You mean if (a,a) being flipped, it’s still (a,a)
Indeed!
bcz the relation is from a to a
its not mentioned
but its understood
so u have to flip and see
But we don’t need to check if (b,a) is in R, because (a, b) isn’t in R so we don’t have to check it
We only need to check things that are in R
The R is an element of P(AxA)
wow bro ur even confusing me
Actually I also don’t understand this
My lecturer skipped this
Well R is a set right?
And assume that the math students have took discrete math and for my case, I did not cause I’m from another faculty
Yes’m but here’s how it becomes RxR
Modern math just make no sense to me 🫠
Well, functions from A to B are a subset of P(AxB) too but people don’t think about that
The idea is this, R is a set with pairs of things
This I think I can get, I saw from the notes
But I don’t get why it’s AxA
What sort of things? Well you take 1 thing from A, then another thing from A
And you make it a pair
Then you put this ordered pair into the set R
Oh, so for AxB, there’s sets A and B, if for AxA, then there’re just set A, and because there’s not set B
I wrote the wrong thing
We just take AxA?
It’s an element not subset of the power set
The power set already is a set containing all the different subsets of combinations
Yeah
In general we like to talk about functions going from 1 set to another
So we name them differently
How about transitive for R1
But many times for relations we want to talk about binary relations
Is it because we don’t have any info for that, we ignore that?
So for transitive you pick 2 things in R where 1 ends with ? And the other starts with ?
For example (x, y) and (y, z)
(x, y) ends with y and (y, z) starts with y
I know if (x,y) and (y,z), then there’s (x,z)
Then you see, is (x, z) in R?
Ok but you’re right her
We couldn’t find any such pairs of pairs
So we’re done
It is true because there are no counterexamples
Yes, if we can’t find this, how we conclude it’s transitive?
Cos transitivity stars with “if (x, y) in R and …”
But it’s true when I can’t satisfy the if
Okay, to make it simple, like for R1, there aren’t any info telling us (a,b) and (b,a) for symmetric, we ignore, and if there aren’t any info telling us (a,b), (b,a), then we cannot conclude it as (a,a) or (b,b) which is transitive
Oh, so if we don’t have the info, the info should assume to be correct?
Yeah because nothing I will pick will break transitivity
Because I can’t pick something to check transitivity
So it is transitive
So yes
Okay, and for R2, I can see it’s reflexive, symmetric and transitive
But I have a confusion, for symmetric, we don’t need to include (b,c) and (c,b) as well?
But (b, c) isn’t in there
So we don’t need to check
As you go along each element you think to yourself
Or like if we got one, then the one we don’t have we also assume it’s correct
Ok (a, b) is in R, let’s check if (b,a) is also in R
Oh it is! Perfect.
Oh (b, a) is in R, let’s check if (a, b) is also in R
Oh it is! Perfect
Actually after I go through the example, I felt like for it to be reflective in this case of set A
We need to have all (a,a), (b,b) and (c,c) to be reflexive to be non reflexive
We’ve now checked that for every element in R, and its flipped version is also in R, so this is symmetric
What did you just say here lol
That’s not a sentence
Continual for this
Err
You need all your aRa, bRb, cRc, dRd, etc for all the elements in S
Which since there’s only 3 things in S
You need just them to be in the relation
Okay, I think I get what you mean, and basically like what I think.
So R = {(a, a), (b, b), (a, b), (b, a)} is symmetric but not reflexive
But this is transitive right?
Since we can get back all the relation in R
Yea, I think I get the concept for reflexive now
My point was that (c, c) isn’t in there breaks reflexivity but not symmetry
So for R6, because there’s not (c,b) and (a,c), it’s not symmetric?
Yes
And also for R6, since there isn’t any thing that can produce back (c,c), so it’s not transitive
What do you mean produce back (c, c)
Like because R6 doesn’t have (c,a) and (a,c) we cannot get back (c,c) which is in the R itself
No no you’re thinking about it backwards
We need to pick 2 then see if it’s transitive
Not pick 1 then see if I can make it from 2 other
But that set is indeed not transitive, I’ll give you some time to think about why not
You mean (b,a) and (b,c) produce (a,c)?
That’s not what transitivity says
This is what I concluded myself from the examples
Like if you see from R3, it’s not reflexive and not symmetric, but I can see it’s transitive
.
You need to pick this pair of pairs
That has 1 ends when ?, the other starts with ?
Meaning to say (b,a) and (b,c), then (c,a)
The first one ends with a, the second one starts with c
a is not c
You did not pick a valid pair to check transitivity
So, you are taking that I cannot take (a,b) and (b,a)?
I did not say that
(a, b) ends with b and (b, a) starts with b
This is a valid pair to check for transitivity
Yea, but isn’t (a,b) same with (b,a)
Or it’s not interchangeable?
Transitivity requires that the (first element from first pair, second element from second pair) to be in R
In this case that would be (a, a)
(a, a) is indeed in R, so these 2 pairs don’t break transitivity
Of course not
Yea, so (a,b) and (b,a), then (a,a), so it’s transitive or not?
we use round brackets to denote ordered pairs where order is important
We can’t say for sure if it’s transitive, but this pair doesn’t break transitivity
We need that every pair of ordered pair doesn’t break transitivity to call the relation transitive
We can’t say from just 1 selection to test
That’s why I keep saying “this pair doesn’t break transitivity”
Okay, thanks, I think maybe I kinda get that
But there is a pair in R6 that breaks transitivity
Btw, how actually did you guys study for pure math and especially for the proving steps?
I started with sets and logic
Huh? Only a pair?
It very much helps
I thought there’s some
I say there is a pair, there may be more
It doesn’t matter
As long as there is at least 1 pair that breaks transitivity, the relation is not transitive
Okay, so if there’s a pair (at least a pair) then it breaks transitivity
I think I asked some of the math students, they said they take so proving lesson and discrete math before they took this
I mean I saw a pair and concluded it’s not transitive so I didn’t look any further
Okay, then I get this equivalence relation. Tqvm
Show that R6 is not transitive
There no (a,c) in R6?
which are the 2 pairs
(a,b) and (b,c)
indeed!
very good
i picked a different pair
see there are more than one but just finding 1 is fine
i picked (c, a) and (a, b) then we find that (c, b) is not in R
when you dont know, it's always the "wacky" ones that'll break something if it breaks it at all
aka those weird lone (c,b) or missing (c, c) or something weird like that
I got one question, if I choose (a,a) and (a,b), I cannot say it’s (a,b) again right? Since I need to take (x,y) and (y,z) for transitive right?
In this case where I’m choosing (a,a) it’s (x,x) and it’s not (x,y)
(a, a) ends in a
(a, b) starts with a
perfectly valid pair to check transitivity!
is (a, b) in R?
yep!
it's fine
Oh, thought must be different, now I understand more
nope
you just keep picking from R
with replacement
if you wish to think about it like that
you can also pick (a, a) ends in a, (a, a) starts with a
so surely, (a, a) must need to be in R for this to be transitive
and yes it is!
great!
Now that I can see whether it’s an equivalence equation. But if the question is like let R be defined on set of integers Z by xRy iff x+3y is even. How can I check that?
Like for reflexive, I write xRx that is x+3x=4x?
Like if they give generally, I don’t know how to prove or disprove 😅
and is 4x even for all integer x?
Yes
okay then the relation is reflexive
But should we further write 4x to 2(2x) or no need?
the "for all integer x" part covers the fact you have to check everything
well i mean you could say that if you wish
that 2x is again an integer
and then 2(2x) is an even integer
Okay, so for symmetric, I just write like xRy and yRx that is x+3y is even, 3y+x is even
A bit weird if I just prove like this
You say if x + 3y is even, then y + 3x is even
And you do need to do some work there
Oh, I see. Let me try for transitive
This is not trivial
You should try prove that this is true
Oh, I still need to further prove it?
Of course, it’s not trivial that it’s true
Isn’t that logically if x+3y, the 3y+x is the same?
May I know how to prove?
See it is not trivial :p
You want to break it into cases
If x + 3y is an even number
That means x and y can’t just br anything you choose
Say x = 2 and y = 1, id get 5
5 is not even
So only certain x and y can get you even numbers, which ones?
If you can’t see a pattern, pick some and try
When x is odd and y is odd
Anything else?
Should be both odd or both even
Yes
So do these 2 cases individually
First suppose x and y were both odd
Aka they can be written in the form 2n + 1 and 2m + 1 respectively
Then try to show that y + 3x is even
Then do the same for when x and y are both even
Meaning to say, if we choose x=2n+1 and y=2m+1, then
x+3y=2(n+3m)+2, and since 2(n+3m)=2h, then x+3y is even.
y+3x=2(m+3n)+2 and since 2(m+3n)=2g, then y+3y is even.
Therefore, x+3y=y+3x.
Let x=2n and y=2m
x+3y=2(n+3m)=2h, then x+3y is even.
y+3x=2(m+3n)=2g, then y+3x is even
Errr not quite
You first deduce that in order for x + 3y to be even
That either x and y are even
Or x and y are odd
Suppose x and y are odd
Then…
We don’t need the 2nd line here about showing x + 3y is even
That’s true by assumption
What it really does is put into question why are you proving this, are there other ways for x + 3y to be even that you’re not considering?
Also your proof is wrong
Clearly x + 3y is not y + 3x
They aren’t the same but they are both even
I thought from here, if we know x+3y is even, then if y+3x is even, then we can conclude it’s the same
No no
If we know x + 3y is even
Then we know y + 3x is even
If you can prove this then the relation is symmetric
For all x, y in ℤ
Also, I also don’t understand why just consider both odd or both even, because I think if we consider either one to be odd and either of to be even, then surely it will not be even and it’s not symmetric
Nvm, I think I’ll just stop for now. Math proof based is super hard🫠
Anyway, thanks for your time for help me to understand what is equivalence relation
We do just consider both odd and both even
But you have to prove that the statement “x + 3y is even” implies x and y are both odd or both even
You need to chain the implication signs all the way to “y + 3x is even”
Erm, I don’t understand, maybe I’ll just go my lecturer office and sit there and ask her prove to me
Proofs in maths does require some abstract thinking and it’s a bit hard to get into that mindset so don’t be too worried if it’s hard
It’ll come with time
It’s hard and well, because I’m from physics faculty, the math I’m interested in is calculus, but math faculty just offered 4 advanced calculus related courses to us, other related calculus courses overlapped with my faculty, so I’m forced to take this modern algebra. I’m planning to drop this course like my friends did because it’s just second week and my friends and I already cannot follow the lesson like the ordinary math students
That’s why I’m seeing if I really cannot catch up, I’ll drop this next week, anyway, thanks and really appreciate for your help
I think a lot of physics formulation in math is very intuitive from the math perspective, but maybe physicists just accept them to be truths
Also, after this pure math regarding proving, it’s obviously pure math is way more harder than my theoretical physics
Which is fine since they may not be so interested in the exact mathematical argument but rather the physical interpretation
Yea, physics use a lot of math, which I would said mostly is applied math, but pure math contains a lot of unnecessary proofs which I found it’s useless (maybe just for my case because I’m not really into math proof). I asked my friends from math school, which they’re now in Y2 but because they’re not in Y3 so I cannot ask them about this course, they told me they start learning the logic and how to prove since Y1, so it might be difficult for us to learn proving
A lot of times in undergrad physics they want to discuss physics that you don’t have the maths background to fully grasp
So it’s a bit tedious for them to describe in an exact manner
I would say that this sort of math you’re learning right now is the a very fundamental part for all areas of math, it is as basic as kinematics from highschool
You wouldn’t be able to do very much physics without kinematics from highschool, just like how many higher level math concepts won’t make sense without a good understanding of set theory
What I found a huge difference when my physics faculty taught us the same course with math faculty is that, physics school focus on the application of the math, like how we use that for physics, but math school, focus much to definitions. Same syllabus but different teaching style
Well pure maths is really about solving maths problems not real world problems
And the techniques to prove things
Whereas physics is more interested in the interpretation for real world phenomena
I think the problem here is that mathematical proving is really really hard for me and my friends who didn’t really been taught how to prove stuff in math.
But if you need to prove a physical phenomenon in mathematics you’ll need the rigour and techniques learned from pure maths
Yea, exactly, and that’s why this modern algebra, other school is not taking, I heard from the dean of math faculty, from the last few years, also just few physics students taking and the result obviously of us is a killer subject
Yeah I mean proofs itself is a big area for math
I’m actually taking because in advanced physics, this modern algebra or maybe abstract algebra is fundamental for quantum field theory
It’s not a trivial part, in fact it’s mostly what maths does
You absolutely need to know these fundamentals for quantum field theory
They have direct consequences for the theory and the phenomena it describes
Maybe it takes time, and if you’re being taught to think logically and techniques to prove since first year, this course is easy
Yea
But it’s obviously not for our case
It’s hard to learn the mindset, it takes time and lots of practice
Yea, that’s why I’m still struggling whether to drop or continue to learn this since I want to further study for QFT
Often times I look at something and go “well I just have no idea how to even begin” to prove something
Yea, but not that the lecturer already assume that we all math faculty students
Exactly what I’m facing this semester for this subject
Well, studying higher level academic fields is not an easy task
I’m not saying you aren’t trying hard enough, but you shouldn’t expect it to be a breeze
There’s a reason we laugh at business majors but not physics majors
Maybe I really should go sit in my lecturer office and ask her individually
I actually told her that but she’s currently at vacation
That at least shows her that you care about succeeding
Need to wait after next week 🫠
It’s often hard for a lecturer to give you effort if you don’t give the course effort
Why should they care if you don’t care either
Haha, it’s because this is my first time being so blur and no idea about this subjevt
Yeah I understand that too, once you start falling behind it gets super hard to get back on track
It’s true, but sadly, my friends who also don’t understand, they just drop this subject. Some who still remain when I ask them, they said they also don’t understand but they didn’t ask anything and just assume they know
You know when come to prove, if you see solution, you will be like “oh, it’s just like that” and you assume that you know, and this is not what im searching for
Well if you’re a lecturer and everyone just sits there in silence as you lecture, you have no clue if the students are following or not
If you ask them “does this make sense” and it’s crickets
They’ll just assume everyone gets it
Yea, and most of the time, the chapters are related, if you can’t understand the basic, then there’s super high percentage you can’t follow for the whole semester
Exactly
When I first started it was very very vital that I never fell behind because I knew the moment I fell behind it’ll be too overwhelming to catch up
I’ll just keep hearing words and sentences that I don’t understand and it’ll be too frustrating to even try
But that’s just me
Yea, after I told her I cannot follow, last lesson she slow down a bit for chapter 2, and that chapter I can follow, just this first chapter, she taught everything in 30 minutes and assume everyone did discrete math. Okay, maybe because math students did that course before in their Y2 and she assume everyone know the basic for equivalence and the basic proof
I remember I heard from some math students, in their first year about proofing they don’t understand, they just memorise, and when they reach Y2, they start to have the idea
So yea, I agree this proving can be trained, but yea, takes quite a long time
Lecturers don’t want to talk to a brick wall and have students completely lost, they want to do whatever is best to pass the knowledge to the students
Well, you’re math undergraduate?
So it’s not like the lecturers will laugh at you if you say it’s a bit confusing can you elaborate
I’m second year math major yeah
And yeah, case in point, I did this stuff in year 1
All this about equivalence relations and so on
And I’m in my third year physics major🤡 and I didn’t even learn anything related to this course before
Anyway, thanks. And I can pm you and ask if I really have some very basic question which I can’t tackle in the future? Thinking not to drop this even it’s a killer for my faculty, okay, from the last records, it’s a killer subject 😅
It pops up every now and again
It’s a very powerful tool
(Look at a clock!)
(1 ~ 13 on a clock where ~ is the equivalence relation)
You’re welcome!

k
help me my brain exploded…
?
the graph of a quadratic curve cuts the x axis at its zeros
i.e look at the function f(x)
evaluate f(p) by plugging x=p
do you see what you get?
i dknt get anything
if x = p, what is x-p
we have f(x) = a(x-p)(x-q). Let x = p. Then f(x)=f(p) = 0. So, p is a 'root' of the quadratic equation. Similarly, letting x = q, f(x) = f(q) = 0, and so q is also a 'root' of the quadratic equation. That means, there are two x values p,q where the y value is 0. So f(x) crosses the x axis (i.e. y = 0) at two points p and q. Here, p<q. So, what would the value of p and q be
Look at where the quadratic function crosses the x axis
p or q = 2 or 6
since p<q so p = 2 and q = 6?
since the parabola crosses 2 and 6
IDK
@light raft
help
okt thank
how do you think we shoudl find a
check by seeing whether the equation goes through the point (0, -12)
i.e. y intercept at -12
ok and
i mean yeah you will get a = -1

P changes the period but
the height is going to be the same, so how is it possible that g(x) does not intersect -1?
Cause the domain for all of them is 0 <= x <= 2pi
So you can imagine stretching the function until the intersection with y = -1 is outside the window of the graph
ohhh youre right
Actually, 0 <= x < 2pi
That makes sense but I do not understand the solution..
Yeah it is a bit wordy
So I would just solve 2 sin x = -1
You get point A has an x-coordinate of 7pi/6
And you want to stretch it so that point A transformed will be at x = 2pi
So what must p be (remember that p is a compression, so 1/stretch = compression)
-1/3..?
How do you get that answer though?
Okok take your time
-1 = Sin (p * 2pi)
Nope, that's not the right way to set up that equation
y = 2 sin px
And you know that x = 2pi, y = -1
yesyes
Yeah so can you continue?
Okok
So its -1 = 2 Sin(p*2pi)
-1/2 = sin(p*2pi)
11pi/6 = p * 2pi
is it correct so far
Becuase I get wrong answer then
oh yea I get the answer if I use 7pi/6
I though I would have to use 11pi/6 because were finding greatest..
Ah it's not 11pi/6
11pi/6 is the second solution so that corresponds to point B
You want point A barely being out of the domain 0 <= x < 2pi
Not point B being out of the domain: point A could still be in the domain

Bit confused here
So, the simplified version of this is
4/sqrt 1-x2
Which is an identity 4arcsin(x)
+C
The condition is f(1/2) = -10
4arcsin(1/2) + C =
2arcsin + C = -10
No?
@outer spindle Has your question been resolved?
no, same issue as before
arcsin(1/2) is not some value arcsin being multiplied to 1/2
sin( what value in the range of arcsin) gives 1/2
@outer spindle Has your question been resolved?
Ah
@high lily Ok ok I see, this goes back to remembering the values from the unit circle
Which in this case, sin on half is pi/6
So I have C = -10 - 4pi/6
YES

Can anyone explain why my answer to part b and c are wrong?
for part (b), I did C(6,1) * C(25,2) because you're choosing 1 engineer from 6, and then there's 25 remaining people (including the 5 other engineers since it's "at least") so I multiplied 6 with C(25,2)
which ultimately gave me 1800
but that's wrong
textbook says the answer is 1460
and for part (c), I did C(8, 2) * C(24, 1)
since 2 spots must be mathematicians and ur choosing from 8, and it doesn't say that the last spot can't be a mathematicians
so multiply C(8,2) with C(24,1)
which gives 672, but the textbook answer is 504
Ping me when you reply please!
for part (b) my answer was 1800 but the textbook answer is 1460 yeah
for part A the answer was 296, which I got
C(8, 3) + C(12, 3) + C(6, 3)
Pratham_Shetty
oh I see
for part B I didn't take into account the or? so the addition principle thing?
My main issue is with part C though, I understand why it's multiplied by C(18, 1)
but it doesn't say the third slot must not be a mathematicians
so why would the textbook want me to remove all mathematicians for the remaining slots
shouldn't it have specified exactly 2 mathematicians then?
alright thanks for clarifying everything!!!

what do u need help on, getting started?
have u created the 2 simultaneous equations?
yeah
40 / x = 40 / x+2 + 1?
can i use an x+1 as a common denominator? since its x and x+1
nvm it;s x+2 not 1
u use both
if u only X by 1 of them there will still be a denominator on the other one
so u need to do it by both of them
wym
u multiply by both denominators
x + (x+2)?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp
im definitely fuckin messing up here
my two answers are
x < 1
and
3/2 < x
what.
can you showed your work?
aight wait
So yes, the endpoints of the inequality are x = 1, 3/2
So all you need to do is to test a point
Say x = 0, so we get 2 < -4
yeah except I cant wite in an inequality form that doesnt make any sense
how can it be less than 1 but greater than 1.5
what
use some logic bruh
or do I write them separately
Im so confused idk why the simple topics confuse me sm
I can do calculus but not this
Right so you take the intersection of these
??
Wait sorry
what
Ah so it's just 3/2 < x
Cause we tested the region x < 1 with x = 0
It didn't work
Then we test the region where 1 < x < 3/2, say x = 1.2
We get 0.8 < 3.6 - 4 which also doesn't work
how many tests
aand do I perform them separately for x < 1 and x < 3/2?
Yes, so forget about the inequalities
We have x = 1, 3/2
So there are three regions
x < 1, 1 < x < 3/2, and 3/2 < x
oh so I test em w those
I test em w less than 1, less than 1.5 then greater than 1.5
and whats the criteria for them being a solution?
like as in what lets me know yeah this one is right
if it passses all the tests or?
@red ice
bruh.
left
if the inequality holds for the region you test
when you plug in say x = 0 to test for x < 1, you plug it in this inequality: if the LHS < RHS as in the question then it passes the test, if LHS >= RHS then it fails the test
yeah but 0 < 1 passed
south said it failed
what
then how is the answer 3/2 bruh
when I say test x = 0 for the region x < 1, I dont mean just put x =1 into x<1, obvs that true
I mean
put x = 0 into |x-2| and 3x-4
you will get LHS = 2, RHS = -4, but 2 is not less than -4
so the inequality in the question failed the test
Yeah that's what I mean
Yes
No worries

Guys, what is the inverse function of
f(x) = x + sqrt(ax + b)
$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{f(x)}$
Tittom_123
I think
Here inverse doesn't mean reciprocal.
Bro wtf💀
Put y = f(x). Try to find x in terms of y
No it doesn't
Oh, mbd lmao
Yes
Are you able to?
Replace x by y and then isolate y in the equation
Bro I'm waiting for you to do it
Because I couldn't do it
I am not gonna do it for you, you gotta learn how to do it by yourself
Try to do it. It's not as simple as you think
What do you think? You think I don't know what I have to do?
You will always end up with y in the 2 equations
$y = \frac{\left(x-y\right)^2-b}{a}$
Tittom_123
@timid silo
You can't, I am pretty sure
It's possible, because I plotted the graph, it's one to one
Wait I think I'm getting closer to the answer
I think this is the answer
y = ½ [(2x + a) + sqrt[ (2x + a) - 4(x² - b)]
For any x >= -b/a
Yesss it is

I have a 3D physics engine for rectangles but I need to make it apply rotational velocity based on the collisions I detect with SAT. I have looked and found that to do this I need to get the contact points but I cant find how to get them between two 3D objects. Pls tell me if you know how I could get them or if you know a better way to get the needed rotational velocity. I have the vertexes for all cubes
@raw plinth Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> anyone?
what's precisely all the data you have? like rotational speed, position, and what? usually there's an answer on stackexchange or maybe the textbook mentioned in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhCBCudKJTs
I have the position
rotation
mass
vertexes
velocity
do you have like the positions at the time of collision
normals
yes
I can add code to my collision function
a silly way is to look at all the edges of both rectangles and check if any of them are within the other object
oh what's a collision give you
I get the collision normal
depth
I have code to detect a collision
and then inside it if a collision happens
I can get what I need
so right now I have everything but the rotation stuff
hmmm maybe you can work with the plane perpendicular to the collision normal
actually idk what the collision normal looks like in that 3rd picture
I have the vertexes
I have to get faces from them then?
I'd go with looking at intersections over all pairs of edges between the rectangles
like finding where lines intersect is a known algorithm
and then one pair of edges will have an intersection and that's your point
and how would I do that?
uh there's probably functions in libraries for it but it's a matrix equation where you write out vector formula for each each as corner1 + t*(corner2-corner1) and set them equal
not really for arbitrary rectangles rotating into each other, you need the point and that's gonna be a lot of math
for a custom engine
if this is unity or whatever there's functions
intersection I guess
Yeah it’s not there
So what would be considered a intersection
here's the math formula https://web.archive.org/web/20180927042445/http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/62814.html
I’ll thx I will take a look at it when I can
