so evaluate ( \dfrac{(-x)^2 - 9}{(-x)-5} ) and check if it is equal to (- \left(\dfrac{x^2 - 9}{x-5} \right))
@karmic plover as above
yyeah, on my end it turned out odd
ricey
great, so are you able to sketch the curve?
siince the negative on the denom x moves out
oh yeah i did it, and confirmed with the help of desmos

a+b+c=0 also means that a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc ?
expanding (a+b+c)^3 we get a bunch of terms so probably not
because let a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
then you get 1 + -1
and 3 * -1
so it doesn't work
what
and c = -2
thanks
wait

how do I know if they specify a function
There’s a neat trick called the vertical line test
If you can draw a vertical line at any point and it touches the curve more than once, it is NOT a function
Because every input in a function has exactly one output
So in 16. for example, you can draw a vertical line anywhere and it will only ever touch that line once
so if I understand that correctly, then only 17 and 18 don't specify functions
is that correct?
Mhm
If you plug 0 into the function in 17, you get three answers
Which violates intergalactic law or someth
It’s because the way functions are defined, each input can only have one output

For this function, is there no easier way to find any Inflection Points? I found the second derivative, and I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly...
This is the work I've done
and I'm not sure how to proceed... since the denominator goes to 0 at x=0, am I allowed to just see when the numerator is 0?
and so I guess there are no points of inflection since x=0 and x=6 are both disallowed in the denominator
I'm not sure

The vector k · v → has a length of 1.
Calculate the length v → and the number k, if v → = (6, 8)
<@&286206848099549185>
hey i might look dumb but is √108 + √12 is √130 right?
Channel's occupied
Do you know how to calculate a unit vector?
not really
Okay, so imagine you're going to the store
and you see a 6 pack of eggs for 12 dollars
How much would you be paying for one egg?
one egg
i pay 12 dollar*6
Well, egg/price or price/egg?
price/egg
yeah! and you found out that one egg costs 2 dollars by doing 12/6, right?
yes
so calculating a unit vector is the same idea, really
you take a vector and divide it by it's own magnitude
but how im supposed to divaide this The vector k · v → has a length of 1.
Calculate the length v → and the number k, if v → = (6, 8)
so if I had a vector of length 6, and I divided it by its own length, then I'd be doing 6/6
which would give me a length of 1, right?
QLightningWolf44
aaa
where a, and b, are the components of the vector
so how would you calculate the magnitude
Amon
yeah yeah it's the same thing!
(x, y) and (a, b) are just different variables that are the same idea
aha
this is correct
i just got a little bit lost sorry
so 6 is a^2
and 8 is y^2
?
not quite, a is 6 and b is 8
aha
you must square them and take the square root of them added together
wait
so the unit vector would be (6/10, 8/10)
aha
because remember, you're dividing the vector by its own magnitude
yep
the unit vector is 1/10 (6, 8)
1/10 is a scalar
it scales the vector
hence, scalar

$$\begin{aligned}xy'=2y\ y=x^{2}\end{aligned}$$
BadBanana
so why is the bottom expression not a solution to the differential equation at x = 0
because y=0 is the equilibrium solution
The book I'm using says "Be sure to state the common interval for which the solution and diffeq make sense"
what does that mean
sorry if thats a dumb question the book hasnt used that term
if y=0, y'=0 so 0=0 means it's a solution for initial condition y(0)=0
equilibrium solutions are constant solutions.
cause you start on an equilibrium, so you stay on the equilbrium
instead of following a curved path
sorry you need to dumb this down more. Is it similar to how in a piecewise function there can be a solution to both "parts" of the function but a discontinuity still exists?
alternatively when you actually solve the DE you have to divide by x, so you remove the fact x=0 from the y=x^2 solution
no, DE has solutions depending on the initial condition
ie depending on where you start dictates what curve is the solution
do you have a visual example?
Mosh
if y=0, then you can easily check it's a solution. and this solution has y(0)=0, so if the IVP had y(0)=0 as the condition, then you know the solution is just y=0
okay what is the IVP
initial value problem
so the y = x^2
y = 0 then?
y=0 is also a solution.
oh man
Mosh
or whatever initial condition you have
hmm I havent seen any of this yet in the book. I might need to plug away and return when I have more of the vocabulary down.
Ok
I have a note on the some of the term you used so when they come up all have something to refer back to
thank though

''Find the probability of different numbers' fall when a pair of standard dice is thrown twice repeatedly ''
I apologize for my poor language, can someone explain me how can I solve that problem?
@raven plume Has your question been resolved?
go through it one dice at a time
if you want the different* numbers on the dice, what numbers can the first one be?
once you've answered that question and picked a number, do the same for the other dice
$\frac{6}{6}\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$ and for the second time, $\frac{5}{6}\frac{4*3}{36}$
yup!

Hi, could somebody please help me with the following problem?
Where I am right now is I think the recurrence relation could be something like: a(n) = a(n-2) + a(n-1) because a(n-2)-1 would be all the steps needed to turn off the light at position n (-1 because you don't have to turn off the first light in this case) plus 1 (because you do have to turn off the light at position n)
Say that each light if its on or off is just represented as a 0 or 1
So this is the five lights initially
11111
So just thinking about how many turns itd take to turn off light n and all before assuming theyre all on
n=1
11111
01111
One switch
n=2
11111
00111
Two switches
n=3
11111
01111
01011
11011
10011
00011
Six switches
@austere drum Has your question been resolved?
n=4
11111
10111
00111
00101
10101
11101
01101
01001
11001
10001
00001
Eleven switches
It kinda looks like it adds on 2 more to the rate each time
So because the rate of change was 5 switches when n=4 when n=5 the rate of change will be 7 switches and so
n=5
Eighteen switches?
Thats my thinking
So could the recurrence relation be described as something like:
a(n) = [a(n-1) - a(n-2)] + 2 ?
Wait
I think it would be a(n) = a(n-1) + [a(n-1) - a(n-2)] + 2
YEAH THATS IT
THANK YOU
Epic

help i don’t understand
i did 38+90
which is 128
then did 180-128 and got 52
and it’s wrong
idk how to do it
52 is the interior angle, x is the exterior
A straight line always forms a 180° angle
yeah
52+x = 180
So if the sum of all interior angles is 180°, x interior would be 52°
Well, you'll want the interior angle first. The interior angles in a triangle sum to 180.
52+x = 180
Before finding x, you should find the interior angle
Gotta take more than one step on this one
How much is left to 180?
The interior angles in a triangle sum to 180.
uh
So, consider calling that angle "c" or something, and write an equation
yup
yup
tysm!!
It’s the exterior angle

Sorry for asking too many questions
Prove that equation 3x^5 -x^3 =1 has at least one solution
Sorry someone told me to use IVT
So I decided to set interval as [0,2]
f(0)=0
f(2)= 88
What should I do next? I'm confused pls help
Mosh
Oh
I ignored that -1
Because I thought
Something else
Okay
-1 and 87
But
Why did I take interval as 0 and2
idk
Oh
you just provided me with an interval
Nope I thought I can use 0 and 2 because there was 1 on the RHS
How else can i prove it?
you just find any interval that works for IVT
it's an odd degree polynomial, so it has at least 1 R root
Um how can I find it, sorry
I watched YouTube video but in that they had interval specified
Already in the questions
And my teacher didnt teach this ;-;
trial and error
Oh okay, I just need to find the values of x that make the equation equal to zero
Sorry if I sound dumb
No, you're showing that there's at least one solution
you're never asked to find the solution cause you likely cant algebraically

Hilbert's twenty-fourth problem is a mathematical problem that was not published as part of the list of 23 problems known as Hilbert's problems but was included in David Hilbert's original notes. The problem asks for a criterion of simplicity in mathematical proofs and the development of a proof theory with the power to prove that a given proof is the simplest possible.[1
so, if you still want to solve that question
then I can try help you

I did the working and I got that value is it right or not
can I see the working?
cause that's what is being asked by the people trying to help you
If you dont want help that's less work for me to do, so I'm fine with not helping.
I figured nvm
ok...
is it a test..?
No
ok... what have you tried then?
what's the simplest case you can think of to use for matrix A
???
if they can't abstractly think about the question, then try using some defined matrix
I mean sure, but that wont answer the question
also I was waiting for a response from them instead of talking to the void...
there was a guy like that last night 😔

whenever there is -ve in power, in order to make in positive, we reciprocate the fraction.
that's correct

can somone pls help me
Hint: join AB.
Draw a straight line from A to B
ok
What can you tell about angle CAB
Something related to CB is the diameter?
So that it forms a semi circle?
Any theorem related to semicircle?
yeah im prett sure there is one but i still didnt learn the theorems
our teacher didnt teach us the theorems but she is giving us homework about it
soo
is a 90 degrees?
Yep it's 90°
Your good! Even your teacher didn't teach you you can figure it out!
Next consider angle ACB and angle BAT
ok
It's okay, lemme grab something online real quick
Yes, 29°
than cat is 119
I didn't calculate ,lemme get it the answer with my calculator
Yea
32
Very good!
btw
what do the lines mean on ce and oc
yk theres a small line
@rocky schooner
They mean those two lines are equal in length
ok thanks
Good luck and have a nice day!
u too!

If we’re talking sets, does A/B and A-B mean the same thing?
If you meant to write A\B then yes
they're two notations for the same thing
A/B is very different however
Oh then what’s that?
There are multiple ways to see it
The easiest example is the integers modulo n. Ever heard of that?
Nope
It's like the numbers on a clock
You can add or multiply them, but it always wraps back around to be less than 12
Okay
(well, technically on a clock you have all numbers from 1 to 12 inclusive, but usually in math it makes more sense to consider all the numbers from 0 to 12 or 11 inclusive, 0 is important to have)
Alright
So for example the integers modulo 12 are 0 through 11
Oh okay
And if I write 6+6, that's 12 usually
But in modular arithmetic, we always loop back around
So 6+6=0 mod 12
Another way to say this is that the remainder of dividing 6+6 by 12 is 0
That remainder is also called the modulus, hence "mod" and "modular"
Well, that's the first part
You asked about A/B
For example, the set of all integers modulo 12 might be written as ℤ/12ℤ
Yeah but I think this is above what I’m studying right now, I was just curious because I thought it might be related to what I’m doing lol
I see
But thanks anyways
This notation comes when studying group theory, which, who knows, you might do some day

How do i solve this??
Do you know how to calculate that at 1 second?
So like if the question read
"It starts with 1200 g and is reduced by 12% each second, whats the mass after 1 second"
So just a normal question asking you to make a number 12% less than its original self
exactly

How to find a natural number n such that n mod x = y mod n ?
ax+n = bn + y
ax - y = bn - n
n = (ax-y)/(b-1)
for some a and b
ok that's non-trivial
idk
that's not quite right
you have n=px+r and y=qn+r'
We're interested in n such that r=r'
i.e n-px=y-qn i.e n(1+q)=px+y i.e n=(px+y)/(q+1) for some q and p
then how to choose p, q such that n is always correct?
yeah that's the thing, there need to be some extra conditions on n
x, y are even
for example, if you try x=5,y=2,p=q=0, you'll get the invalid solution n=2
which doesn't work because 2 mod 5 = 2 ≠ 0 = 2 mod 2
x=4 , y=8, then n can be 4
yes

How come in this inequation, the teacher doesn't simplify the m's? so it's x >= 3m. Time and time again I see them doing it this way (they leave the m and the m^2 factors), for what reason?
Another question, for the same inequality. So the sign depends on m. But why is this true?
If mx >= 3m^2, then mx will be a negative quantity and 3m^2 will always be positive so why are there solutions at all?
I assume that it's because then x >= 3m^2/m, so x>= an overall negative quantity but then why do we flip the sign? If we flip the sign then shouldn't it then become -x >= -3m^2/m ? :(

anyone? is there something about the question that makes it difficult to solve? Can I provide more info?
Ahh merci, vous me sauvez là
certes, mais si on change pas les signes de l'équation elle-même? Je comprends pas comment on peut changer les signes si on change pas l'équation. On "suppose" que x est négatif mais...
oui...
🤔
mais je vois toujours pas
car ici y a les - qui s'ajoutent
en gros, ce qui me gène c'est qu'on ne modifie pas l'équation
Ah merde
yes
c'est vrai
j'ai fait ça aussi au premier coup
un truc du genre
Je sais pas si on peut raisonner comme j'ai fait
En gros je comprends pas vraiment, je m'embrouille toujours avec les notations
mais est-ce qu'on peut simplement substitioner des trucs au bol et après voir quelle égalité tient la route?
en gros -1 n'est pas superieur à 3 donc ça doit être de l'autre sens, l'égalité

can i please get help on A
What exactly are you stuck on?
So you know w, correct?
It just wants powers of w
Think about it like this, if w = 2, what is w^2?
4
What about w^3
okay ty
Looks complicated, wish I could help sorry
ahh so you know w^4
for this
since it is a reflection of w^2 in the imaginary axis
would that mean it would be
1-sqrt(3)i/2

I can't remember, how do I find the max distance between any two pairs of points between two functions?
For example, I have f(x) = x^3 and g(x)=x/2.
I want to find at what points do f(x) and g(x) create the maximum distance between the two functions? And where is the point on f(x) and on g(x) respectively?
example here:
Just use Pythagorean theorem
Then derivate it and find the critical points epicly
Then see which ones a max
And bam
epicness is optional, it still works if you do it mediocrily
Optional but highly recommended*
sorry my brain is a bit slow tonight.
Do you mean something like sqrt(f(x)^2 + g(x)^2)?
I'm gonna feel dumb once you I understand what you mean haha
I'll give it a shot!
I might be a bit wrong on my process
But its along those lines
I mean I would personally use like dot product or something
Solely because the second function is a straight line
But thats by absolutely no means a "general solution"
Well actually
Does the problem go into more detail?
oh no it's just me experimenting
Oh
I'm messing with Chebyshev polynomials
and for the equation above it states that the maximum error between them is 1/2
so I was verifying that!
So youre looking only for vertical error?
Yeah thats way easier
Do you know how to do it?
iirc it should be f(x)-g(x)
then you find the derivative to find critical points
similar process
Ye
Youd prob want |f(x)-g(x)| technically ig
Which throws a small wrench into things
But it shouldnt be that bad
Just split it into two functions
yep!
So it'd be a(x)=|x^3 - (1/2)x|
a'(x) = { 3x^2 - (1/2) if x > 0
{ -3x^2 + 1/2 if x <0
?
Yeah
Or wait
Check your bounds
Its a bit nastier than I thought
You have to find exactly where the specific function is negative
Itll be the zeroes of the original function
oh yeah my b that's right
And depending if its positive or negative between the zeroes is whether or not its reversed
Ye its all confusing
With all the different zeroes meaning all kinds of stuff
well damn this became more complicated than I assumed 😮
Yeah
*first assumed
Well after you figured out it was vertical distance
that's fine tho
this is part of a numerical analysis course
so it seems this is on par with how this section of math goes
Reasonable
I learned the way to do it in precalc by plotting the zeroes on a number line
And testing values between all of the zeroes if its positive or negative
Its really simplistic but oftentimes thats whats useful
oh yeah I remember that too, that made it fairly easy!
well thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

i have a brainfart
may someone guide me through the steps o_O
is this good so far @_@
Call ab = W.
Then Right side = W
hm yea just another constant really
yup.. now, square both sides...
x^2 + 1 = (ab)^2 + 2(ab)(x) + x^2
oh there's a remaining x
thanks
weird
when I would keep the other x on the left side i wouldnt find it

L = 0.5((A1 -Y)^2) -> Y = constant
A1 = σ(P1) -> sigma = sigmoid function
P1 = X.W1 + B1
∂L/∂B1 = (∂L/∂A1) * (∂A1/∂P1) * (∂P1/∂B1)
(this is correct right?)
if this is correct I get that ∂L/∂B1 = (A1-Y) * A1(1-A1) * 1
now, every variable except sigma are matrices, but the result I get from the final partial gives me a 6x20 matrix in my example whilst I should get a 1x20 matrix
so I must have done something wrong

maybe write it out a little more clearly @glad sleet . I'm assuming you're trying to do something with neural networks, and I know how backprop works pretty well, but I can't make heads or tails of your question at all.
so I have a simple network with an input matrix X and that propagates to the output Y
I just wanted to find ∂L/∂B1 since I want to initialize my bias' and update them after each cycle
hmm
granted I just summed all my weights so it becomes a (1,20) matrix as desired
but I guess that's not really a good way
cuz it works perfectly
I'm just curious to what I might have missed
the full equation for the loss of your network will be $L(y; \theta) = L(W_{2} \sigma(W_{1} x + b_{1}) + b_{2}$ right?
yoohoo
