nice
nvm smh, it's probably something to do with GCD(1+x1 , 1-x1) = (1+x1, 2) = {1, 2}
WAIT
I COULD JUST BE MISTAKEN
LEMME CHECK
i have no idea how to verify this
lemme try a smaller example with only x1 and x2
OMG
I THINK IT IS
WHAT
for the smaller case at least
tell me already 
if i reduce the problem down to (1+x1)(1+x2)=(1-x1)(1-x2)=x
i can prove that x1=-x2
oh no
NOOOO
damnit
i got to x1^2 = x2^2
aaaaaaa
buuut that still satisfies x1 = -x2
You don't mean x1 = -x9, x2 = -x8, x3 = -x7, x4 = -x6?
and that'd imply x5 = 0?
or something like that?
,w solve (1+a)(1+b)(1+c)(1+d)(1+e) = (1-a)(1-b)(1-c)(1-d)(1-e) over integers
Wolfram Alpha doesn't understand your query!
Perhaps try rephrasing your question?
Click here to refine your query online
AAAA
,w solve (1+a)(1+b)(1+c) = (1-a)(1-b)(1-c) over integers
ohh woow
bad choice... at least keep an odd number of variables
(1+x1)(1+x2)(1+x3) = (1-x1)(1-x2)(1-x3) hmmm
hmmmm
and prove x2 must be zero or smth 
yeaaah
first of all, x1, x2 and x3 can't all have the same sign........
WAIT
IM WAITING
x1 = 1, xn = -1 satisfies the question
and x =0
so P = 0
aaaaaaaa but then again it's a particular case ;-;
how to prove for geeeneral
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
oof
help 🥺
i'm trying......... i also don't know the answer
they can just put in the values smh
but you can see that all the x1, x2,.... can't all have the same sign
since it's true for all integers that follow the equation
e.g. if they were all positive, then the absolute value of the product of (1+x1) etc is strictly larger than the absolute value of the product of (1-x1) etc
so you can split up the x_i : some are positive, and some are negative..........
i'm trying to see if there's some argument which makes the number of positive ones equal to the number of negative ones
hmm, also the number of x_i which are negative has to be even
go for it xD
I'm getting the polynomial vibes smh
actually, @grave thistle , in the case of two variables, how did you conclude that x1 = -x2 ?
obv 😂 aren't we trying to prove?
if you managed to do that, then you might be able to apply some kind of induction argument
algebra stuff
woah
i think the ans is abt induction
wait
oh i forgot we have the least rigorous maths around here
lol it's okay
i'm not fond of rigor myself........
as long as it makes sense to me i'm good
they had split it into 2 cases
1st case is assume x1=x2=…=x9=0
gosh i love this country
IKR
so with an odd number of x_i, if none of them are zero, then x^2 would be < 0
cool
t^t
now I can relax xD

If we have this, what is x/y equal to then?
unknown
There isn't a specific rule so I can express the sin x / sin y ?
k, ty
Oh I get it!
You were right about multiplying with conjugate smh, should've divided by x^2 instead of (conjugate)^2 = 1

@worthy glacier When you see A = πr², each of the letters there is a variable. Variables are numbers we might not know just yet.
So, A is the number that stands for the area the inside of the circle covers. r is the number that stands for the radius of the circle.
Does that make sense so far?
OK, so if we know the radius is 2, then we know that r is 2, since r is the number that's how big the radius is.
If r is 2, we can replace it with 2.
so it would be
Any time we know that a variable is equal to something else, we can replace it with that something else.
π2²
$4\pi$
A = πr²
A = π(2)²
what would π mean
pi is pi
$\pi = 3.14......$
π is a special number called pi, pronounced like the pie that you eat.
It starts off with 3.14 and goes on with a bunch more digits.
So, it's about 4 times 3.14.
Almost.
twice?
Yes, exactly.
r² has the exponent 2.
That means r multiplied by itself 2 times.
r² = r × r
r³ = r × r × r
r¹⁰ = r × r × r × r × r × r × r × r × r × r
wait
The exponent tells how many times to multiply the base by itself.
how would i do this
there is no circle
There is in the words there. It's just not drawn maybe.
Yes.
A = πr²
The radius is 6mm long, and r is the number that's how long the radius is, so we fill in r with 6mm.
A = π(6mm)²
i understandd it now omg
Now, there's a bit of a hard thing here.
The 6 gets squared AND the millimeters gets squared.
Because you're squaring the entire r number.
So, you get:
A = 36 · 3.14 mm²
And you get some number of square millimeters.
mm² is said out loud "square millimeters".
OK, now you need to know a little geometry to do that.
how would i do d
oh no
D is the diameter.
The diameter is just twice the radius.
Like the radius goes halfway through the circle.
The diameter goes ALL the way through the circle (through its center).
So, the diameter is twice as long because it's like two radiuses stuck together, one going one way from the center and one going the other way from the center.
oh ok
You can see that in the picture. There are two radiuses that start at the center and go to the edge of the circle stuck together to make that diameter.
So, we can say that the diameter is 2 times the radius in a formula.
D = 2r
Then we just fill in D.
And we can use algebra to get r.
Right, but 17 cm.
Now you know r and you can use that to get A.
A = πr²
A = π(17 cm)²
so how would i calculate the answer
That means the ² there.
oh
34cm
² can be said "to the second power" or "squared".
³ can be said "cubed".
There are no other nice names for powers, they're just "to the whatever number power".
Almost.
Squaring doesn't mean multiplying by 2.
When you have an exponent, here's how you do it.
17²
So, you write 17 two times because the exponent is 2.
17 · 17
If it was 17¹⁰⁰, you'd write 17 a hundred times and multiply all those together.
But it's only 17² here, so you only write it twice.
17 · 17
And then you multiply them together.
Does that make sense?

i need help
ik what to do for the first derivative but dont know the second
Correct me if im wrong, but basicly you should state if the pitch of the graph y(x) is positiv or negativ. Or if its uphil or downhill.
do you say pitch?
havnt heard anyone say that but idk
but yea for examplpe b is positive , c is zero, and d is negative
for the first derivative
exactly
Oh ok, so what you do is, you try to map the y'(x) graph. It doesnt matter where exactly to put the points on the y coordinates but at the same x coordinate. You try to do it relative to the other gradients. If you do that you will be able to map the second graph and itll be easy for you to also state its gradients.
Well yeah but try to make curves as the gradient doesnt just switches.
like this:
but wait. did you try to draw the first derivate from the task ?
i didnt cause it doesnt mention to draw it in the question
ok good.
so the "pitch" of the graph doesnt just change as it rounds itself out. if you know what i mean.
ah ok
consider concavity and inflection points for the sign of the second derivative
oh i think i got it
for point a since its shaped like a positive parabola, it second derivative will be a diagonal line
making it a positive
right?
i am not entirely sure but if i get what ur saying yes
if you compare to parabola, yes but that wont work for the other points. So what you do by drawing the first derivative, you will be able to just see the 2nd derivative.
Nice, so what about the second derivative
Wait nvm
That’s the only sketch u need
Exactly
Alr I got it
So if a normal function is a cubic
It’s first Derivative will be a parabola
And it’s second is just a line
Thanks for ur help!

When factoring perfect squares, why use the perfect square method in place of the product sum method when both yield the same answer when factoring?
The perfect square method is a shortcut
You can do product sum, but if you can identify that it's a perfect square, then you just do $$\left(\sqrt{a} + \sqrt{c}\right)^2$$

Today in 8th grade math my teacher said that the sqaure root of 0.4 repeating wasn't 0.2 repeating how???
it really hurts my brain
(a/b)^(-n)=(b/a)^n
just a^-n=1/a^n
@mighty ether Has your question been resolved?
think about this
whats 2 times 0.5?
its obviously one
remember, if u multiply some number x by a number less than one and more than 0, you are actually making x smaller
0.2 repeating times 2 is .4 repeating
0.2 repeating times 0.2 repeating is NOT .4 repeating
its closer to 0.049382716
the square root of .4 repeating is .6 repeating, since when u multiply by .6 repeating you get 1 third, and 1 third of .6 repeating is obviously .4 repeating

Hello , I need help with this question
(a,b) meaning gcd?
I started with assuming (a+bx,c) = d for some d>1
Yes
@brave bramble should I post a picture of what I tried so far
This is what I did so far
Leading from my assumption (d,b)=1
But how to proceed from there I’m not so sure
I used Bezouts theorem here
But I don’t think it’s a generalised case
X here is any integer
No x merely exists. Most choices don't work.
there exists an x, so, well, i think you just need to choose one? (welp, just assumed a and c are coprime)
With that in mind, you can put any rules on x you want, as long as such an x exists by the end
Hmm

Hi
do you know what degree 5 means
do you know the difference between coeffcient and variable?
yes
alright so
lets talk about degree of a term
basically, we add the exponents of all the variables of a term together
to get degree of a term
for example, $6x^2y^3$
Chromium
its degree is 5, because the variables are x and y, and adding their powers tgt we get 5
polynomials are just sums of multiple terms
those terms have different degrees
deg of a polynomial is just the biggest of them
so, yea
could you help with another one please?
sure
Chromium
and $x^3 + xy + 1$ is
Chromium
oh wait
sorry
so i thought the answer would be $6^3$
TheG3
do you understand this
no
a polynomial is in standard form
if and only if
all terms are arranged in descending order of power
ok
so you check which one is arranged in descending orders of power
which is standard form
and how is this decending
.
3, 2, 0 sorry
now constants have order 0
and $x^3, xy$ have orders $3, 2$ respectively
Chromium
do you understadnd?
oh ok
yes
i thought it would be the first option but it says thats wrong
so would it be the second one?
or no it would be the 3rd one

they said its supposed to be on standard form
but i did something else
from their given equations, you can move the term with y to RHS (x for c and d)
and divide by y's coefficient
how
The unfortunate thing is it's closer to standard form in the start than your answers.
For a, maybe it's better to start all over so that you can more easily solve for y
@wooden solstice Has your question been resolved?
can you help me with that
cause i have to pass my hw like at 5 hours from now
Can you move the term with y to the other side?
i guess
And can you multiply or divide by a number to make y by itself?

Just a little dumb question: Is the value of 1/1 + 4/9 + 5/90 rounded up or down?
1.5 is rounded up.
1.4999... = 1.5
If you work out the fractions algebraically, you'll get 3/2

Krista launches her model rocket in a completion. Currently the record to beat is 125m in height reached by the rocket. Krista's rocket launch can be modelled by the equation
h(t) = -4t2 + 12t + 112.
Where h(t) is he height in meters, of the rocket and t is the time, in seconds.
a. Does Krista win the rocket launch completion?
b. After how long does Krista's rocket reach maximum height?
c. In order to land safely, the rocket must land within 8 seconds. Krista said the rocket was successful because it landed in 7 seconds. Prove mathematically that Krista's rocket landed in 7 seconds.
need help wit it
Does it not give you any time?
You can solve for t
That’s true
Find the maximum of that equation, and that relates to the highest it travels

hi
That's one of the simplest proves they could ask you for tho 
what are the options for the dropdown
Post your question in an available help channel
Before we move any further
the majority of the work has already
been set up for you
sorry he posted it before i was typing it
oh im sorry
what's your issue with it
Well this is very easy then.
i do not like proofs.
and it hurts my brain.
because this class is hard and i hate the hw.
That's geometry
But besides that
what is the issue
What do you not understand specifically
that's not all of it
okay
don't exaggerate
don't make me ask you whether you understand things one word/object at a time
did you get the second one?

hi there, this is about chemistry. I'm simply trying to understand the idea of solute concentration in a solution. Specifically w/w w/v v/v
from what I understand, you have your solute in either grams of weight/mass or the volume ml
same goes for the solution
and some % of that solution is made up of said solute
now how do I properly calculate this myself
say we have
msolution = 160g
msolute = 40g
if it's gonna be a % then the number 100 is involved so we either multiply or divide by it somewhere
I could use some help
Is this saying there is 40g of solute dissolved in 160g of solution?
yes
So total mass is 200g?
yes
Isn’t solute concentration defined as the amount of solute in a volume ?
how much of that solute exists in a certain amount of the solution
So it would seem to be something like 40/200?
That is the mass is solute/ total mass of solution
yeah Jesse, we cannot cook like this
Could you then use it to find the amount of solute in 5G of the solution or something
this is going to be a mess
It seems like from a google that solute concentration refers to the mass of a solute dissolved in a volume of solution
to find a percentage you would need to divide or multiply it with 100 somehow though
otherwise you would get unstable results
Yes a percentage is times 100
(100*40)/200 lol idk
I think there's actually 160g total
The solution represents everything
Solute and solvent
So you'd divide by 160 g
The solute is already a part of the 160 g if it's labeled right
well it is labeled right, now
it's not a real problem, i just came up with it on the spot
Oh
okay, I'm supposed to divide the solute by the solution then
Ye
so 160/40
Other way
oh
Because you want a number less than 1
so you get floating point
Ye
Because you can't have a solution that's 120% solute
i get it
how much of the whole solution fits in the solute
that's what is being said here
and it's always going to be the part of the solution which is the solute
you can't have anything else
that's perfect, thank you
does anything change once we move on from grams to volume?
like if the solution or maybe the solute was in ml instead of g
Wait actually
All of this would depend on how you wanna measure concentration
I think typically you'd measure it using moles
Though ig you could use percent by mass or volume
So it'd all depend
im trying to do that rn
If it's still just percent it's the same
Is w representing mass?
yes
weight/mass
in chemistry it's used interchangeably as far as i know
so you're supposed to calculate concentration with both volume and mass
Yeah that'd be the molar way I think
huh
Since molar concentration is moles per liter
I guess it's not technically mass but it's close enough
oh no Jesse
I've never liked chemistry
i mean it's not bad
it's just taught boringly
you could make sugar rockets with... well, sugar and potassium nitrate
super powerful and explosive and anti-finger
either way im not making any sense through this
thanks but rip

Why is an empty set the subset of all sets?
Most of the proofs I have looked at utilise the concept of vacuous truth, a concept that I haven't been able to grasp yet.
One proof I looked at went along the lines of:
"You have 5 objects and take it way, then you are left with nothing/it is empty, you have zero objects which is what an empty set is. A|A=Empty set "
By that resemblence of numbers and sets, we don't say that "Every number contains no number/has zero"
Also, when you say something is a subset of something else, then that subset is present within the other set ie. A{x-> Positive integer set, x>=5} ={Empty set,0,1,2,3,4,5}
So if you removed a set from itself, you would be removing the "empty set" itself, which is nonsensical.
suppose the empty set isn't a subset of A for any set A
then that means there exists an element in {} not in A
Contradiction.
Definition of subset:
$$A\subseteq B:= (\forall a\in A)(a\in B)$$
Was waiting for them to respond.

@unique merlin Has your question been resolved?
I have seen this proof and it's still confusing
Let us take a random set A
random non-empty set A*
When we assume that the empty set is not a subset, this means that the content of the empty set is not in A
'there is something in the empty set that is not in A'
If we assume {} is not a subset, then that means {} has something not in A
But doesn't the empty set not have any element is the first place, akin to saying that A does not contain "no element" ?
ie {} is non-empty
For example:
{1,2} is a subset of {1,2,3} cause every element of the 1st is in the 2nd
However, {1,2,3} is not a subset of {1,2} because 3 is in the 1st but not in the 2nd
But doesn't the empty set have no elements in the first place?
I don't think I understand what an empty set means in the first place then.
Yes. And this is a contradiction.
You assumed {} is not a subset of A
And reached a contradiction.
it's the set with no elements
In our universe of discourse, {} is either a subset or a superset of A
we assumed not a subset, so we suppose {} is a superset of A
to which bullshit b/c A is not a subset of {}
Still nothing
Example. A={1,2,3}
For {} to not be a subset, it must have an element which is not in A
But if {} has no elements in the first place, how can it be a subset?
Taking the opposite, let {} not be a subset of A
This means that {} has an element that is not in A
But since {} has no elements, it's impossible for the above assumption to hold, hence proven.
It seems that the contradiction forces the axiom to be true, without stating why it should be so.
@unique merlin
'But if {} has no elements in the first place, how can it be a subset?'
Where are you coming from with this.
Perhaps we should agree on the definition of 'subset' first
before going any further
'If A is a subset of B, then for each element x of A, x is an element of B'
Also, what axiom are you referring to?
For {} to not be a subset, it must have an element which is not in A
Yes, that's the point

I want to calculate the dimension of U
however the triplet (u1, u2, u3) is not a basis, because they are linearly dependent
Could someone give me input on this?
(rationals would be more appropriate)
Okay so.. you've put your vectors as columns in a matrix?
yes
great, so the vector corresponding to the first column, will form a basis to U
In general, when you're looking for a basis , and you align your spanning vectors in columns then once you've achieved the rref form, then your pivots will indicate which of the vectors will form a basis
however .. are you sure about your result?
it seems to me that there are 2 vectors here that form a bsis
since u3 is linearly dependant on u1 and u2 (check 2*u2-u1)
1 3 5
0 4 8
1 2 3
2 1 0
----------- 1-3, 4-3
0 1 2
0 4 8
1 2 3
0 -3 - 6
----------- 2+4
0 1 2
0 4 8
1 2 3
0 1 2
so V is dim 4 and U is dim 2?
yea
gotcha
do you understand how to pick your basis tho
mom
@hazy marlin
v1 = 1, -1, 1, 0
v2 = 0 0 0 1
x1= x3
x2 = -2x3
x3
-2x3
x3
a *(1, -2, 1)
this.
I have two pivots, x1 and x2
and x3 is free
1 0 -1 => x1 -x3 = 0 => x1 = x3
0 1 2 => x2 +2x3 = 0 => x2 = -2x3
and x3 =x3
x3
-2x3
x3
a *(1, -2, 1)
so this right?
okay
what does the final result tell you?
that the dimension is 1 not 2?
since dimK (V ) = dim(V ) := n ?
with (v1 , . . . , vn) basis of V
Okay First of
When you're trying to find a basis out of spanning vectors
you're not solving a linear map
you're performing row reduction on them to see if they're linearly independent
the solution vector you found is some random kernel for some linear transformation defined by the column vectors u1,u2,u3 which has no relevance to the question
What you did here is very much correct
all you had to do , is find out which columns have pivots, and pick the vectors corresponding to those columns
say you got a pivot in first column and you placed u1 in that column, u1 will be in your basis
the other approach, was to align your vectors as rows , bringing your matrix to it's rref , and thus discovering a set of linear independent vectors that will form a basis to your subspace
@teal sleet
was to align your vectors as rows oh
?
No it doesn't really matter
either method works
it's just the conclusion from the methods are different
ok thanks
yeah 1) taking trivial vectors out
or 2) calculate a new set
yea pretty much
column alignment lets you know which vectors to take out and which to take in
row alignment gives you a new set of vectors that form basis

need help with 7. A ball is shot into the air. Its height h, in metres, after t seconds is modeled by .
h= -4.9t^2 + 30t + 1.6
a) How long will it take the ball to reach a height of 35 m?
do you know how to evaluate functions?
well this is what i have so far
35=-4.9T^2 + 30 t + 1.6
0= -4.9T^2 + 30 t + 1.6 – 35
0= -4.9t^2 + 30t -33.4 -4.9 √’-4.9^2 – 4 (30)(-33.4) / 2 (30)
can you let me know if thats right?
<@&286206848099549185>
looks like the right method, but i'm not gonna check your algebra
-4.9 √’-4.9^2 – 4 (30)(-33.4) / 2 (30)
Is that line using the quadratic formula?
yea
That's wrong
You know the quadratic equation is $$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
dldh06
So if a = -4.9 then why is your 2a, 2(-4.9)?
i dont really know hwat you mean sorry
You plugged in the numbers wrong
$$\frac{4.9 \pm \sqrt{-4.9^{2} – 4 (30)(-33.4) }}{2 (30)}$$
That is your statement there
dldh06
So your denominator is 2a, according to the formula, meaning that you said a = 30
Do you see the mistake I am pointing out?
yes
So then that means you need to fix that and write the proper equation
but 30 is supose to be <b> ??
Still didn't apply the formula correctly
$$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
dldh06
Here is the formula again, plug in a, b, and c
x = -30 +-√ 30 - 4 (-4.9) (-33.4) / 2 (-4.9) i dont know man i think tahts still wrong,....
oh yes ok
so once i have that forrmular then what would i do?
to find how long will it take the ball to reach a height of 35 m
You do math
Simplify that
$$x_{1,2}=\frac{-30 \pm \sqrt{30^{2} - 4 (-4.9)(-33.4) }}{2 (-4.9)}$$

Hi there, I'm stuck on this problem. I have utterly no idea how to solve it. Its the very last question. Underneath the graphs
Honestly, this isn't even my hw problem. I'm just trying to figure it out, and idk how to maximize dimensions. I never learned that in pre-calc. I got the function to be f(x)=x^2(72-4x)
Since x is between 0 and 18, would it just be 9? Since f(9)=max val
The textbook offers no help whatsoever, it labels this as geometry and thats it. I would super appreciate the help

I'm doing this google foobar challenge and at the end I need to reduce multiple fractions that all have the same denumerator. After reducing the fractions should have the same smaller denumerator as well. Example: 6/28, 4/28, 18/28. becomes 3/14, 2/14, 9/14. I know how to reduce a single fraction say 4/28 becomes 1/7. But I'm stumped trying to reduce more than one because 4/28 in this case would need to be 2/14. How do I do this?

help pls
Is there anything else said about events A and B that you know?
If not, there's not enough info to find P(A & B)
wait lemme foto the whole question then
This @raven spire
P(B|A)xP(A)
Question 3
Yeah so $P(B|A)$ given here right
Ansh
Use the formula for P(B|A) to determine the answer
What is that formula
^. Because you can use the conditional probability formula.
P(B|A)=P(A and B)/P(A).
Me no understand that formula
Check your textbook
and maybe the articles surrounding the formula as well.. Would help
