can someoen help me out with this
which one
1st one's a well known problem
@dry shard Has your question been resolved?
all 3 preferably, I just looked at that mathexchange link and undertand 1 now
@dry shard Has your question been resolved?
For the second, as a hint, consider the characteristic polynomial
@dry shard Has your question been resolved?
yea i dont really understand what to do with the hints 
More hint: det(AB) = det(A)det(B)
Gershgorin Theorem 
Maybe more simply for the second, let $k$ be the smallest positive integer such that $A^k = 0$. If $A$ is invertible then you can multiply both sides by $A^{-1}$ and conclude what?
OurBelovedBungo
For the third, you can find the inverse to prove it's invertible. Hint, by analogy consider that $\frac{1}{1-x}$ is a closed-form expression for the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x^n$.

dt[r(t) × r(t)] = 0 is not possible. We know dt(r(t)) can't equal to 0 because r'(t) is a tangent vector at the point corresponding to r(t)
@gloomy trellis Has your question been resolved?
@gloomy trellis Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
r(t) x r(t) is always zero. I'm not sure what the notation dt[r(t) x r(t)] means.
Did you mean dt[r(t)] x r(t) instead of dt[r(t) x r(t)] ?
Because the second one is definitely zero
Dt[r(t)xr(t)]
r(t) x r(t) itself is identically zero, so its derivative is also zero.
But I thought r'(t) can't equal to 0?
How does r'(t) relate to this?
How do you prove it then?
Prove what? What is the problem statement?
Prove derivative [r(t) cross product r(t)] = 0
Like I said, [r(t) cross product r(t)] itself is always zero (the cross product of any vector with itself is zero). So of course its derivative is also zero.
I don't understand why you think the two facts are a contradiction.
Why would dt[r(t) x r(t)] = 0 imply that r'(t) is zero?
r'(t) can be anything
Moreover, the textbook doesn't say that r'(t) is nonzero, it says PROVIDED that it is nonzero, then r'(t) is called a tangent vector.

Need help with these two
@plucky ether Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
sec x - tan x = 1/cos(x) - sin(x)/cos(x) = (1-sin(x))/cos(x) = (1-sin(x))/sqrt(1-sin^2(x))
= (1-sin(x))/(sqrt(1-sin(x))*sqrt(1+sin(x)))
$\sec(x) - \tan(x) = \frac{1-\sin(x)}{(1-\sin(x))^{1/2} \sqrt{1+\sin(x)}}$
Herels

just tell what you don't understand in this
you agree that sec(x) = 1/cos(x) and tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) ?
Yep
the rest is just algebra and playing with trig formula
How did you bring the sqrt
cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1
So...cosx=√1-sin^2x ?
yea
Wait what did you do in the last line?
where
This
nothing, sqrt(x) is the same as x^{1/2}
Where did you get that sqrt(1+sinx)
basic algebra
(a^2 - b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)
sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a)sqrt(b)
again basic algebra
a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}
np
No.3
@alpine raven can you do no.3?
Use the sec^2 a= 1+tan^2 a identity
On the left hand side or right hand side?
Left
Ok
I get, 1 + 2tan^2x + 2tan^4x
Do I break them to sin and cos?
u should rewrite the left side as sec^2 a(sec^2 a) + tan^2 a(tan^2 a)
and then sub one of the sec^2 a with the identity, and one of the tan^2 a with the identity
so sec^2 a (1+ tan^2 a) + tan^2 a (sec^2 a -1)

how would I compute $$\lim_{x \to \infty} e^{bxi}, b \in \mathbb{R}$$
illuminator3
wouldnt converge according to euler's formula?
so I'd have different cases?
because what if b = 0 or b < 0
Think visually - you're just spinning around the unit circle on the argand plane
b = 0 is indeed a separate case
but it would diverge then, would it?
because how would I know at what point I'm stopping if I'm infinitely spinning around the circle
Ill explain it visually
or try
So say you have a complex sequence (note this works for a real sequence too, ofc)
We pick a point P on the plane
If we keep revisiting P, then P is an 'accumulation point' (i will say ap from now on)
The definition of ap is slightly broader than this, but I will stick to this basic example for now
in our case
wouldn't every point on the unit circle be an ap
not necessarily
Let b = pi
Then what will our AP's be?
oh wait
aaaaa
x is real?
yes
ahaha then indeed
that is true
But for a second, suppose x is integer
so we have a sequence of points e^{bi}, e^{2bi}, e^{3bi}, ...
because sine and cosine have an interval of 2pi
wdym
yes
Theta is the argument
cos(theta) + i * sin(theta)
Shuri2060
Its actually this, but r = 1 for us
But think about just theta
we go 0, pi, 2pi, 3pi, ...
ie. we flip between 0 degrees and 180 degrees
Which is 1 and -1 on the argand plane
hence, I get (-1)^n as our sequence
If theta = pi/2
We have 4 AP
1, i, -1, -i
I'm trying to get the point - if we have a rational multiple of pi, our AP will be finite
And in fact, the roots of unity for some n
roots of unity?
$z^n=1$
Shuri2060
hm
Visually, the points will lie on the unit circle
equally spaced out
so if you join them up, you get a regular polygon
with n sides
so every point on the unit circle is a root of 1?
Not quite
You can have an 'irrational' point
If you see what I mean
If you have like $\pi\sqrt 2$
Shuri2060
As your angle
No matter how much you exponentiate the number (ie. add the angle to itself)
you won't get to 1
that makes sense
So back to AP
The definition is broader
If I have a point P
It is an AP if we get arbritrarily close to it an infinite number of times in our sequence
We don't actually have to hit it - we have to get as close as we like
This is slightly harder to understand
what does arbitrarily close in this context mean
So... its like this
You tell me a point P
Then I draw a circle around P, any size I want
Then if an infinite number of points in the sequence lie inside that circle, you 'win'
If you win no matter what circle I draw,
P is an accumulation point
so if we draw a circle around 1 with radius h as h -> 0, it would be an ap when talking about our sequence ((-1)^n)?
indeed
This is an obvious case because we keep hitting the point 1 itself
$e^{i(\pi\sqrt2)n}$
Shuri2060
For this sequence where n is an integer
We don't actually necessarily hit every point of the unit circle
But we do get arbritarily close
So for this example, the entire unit circle is a set of accumulation points
Well anyways --- this kinda detracts from your original question where we don't have a sequence
But a function
x -> infinity, so x is allowed to be real
In which case you do visit every point
===
So how do limits and AP relate? When there is exactly 1 AP, then a limit exists.
If there are more than 1, no limit exists (divergence)
If the AP is infinity, then the limit also doesn't exist in C, and we consider it to diverge, too
wait
it converging depends on what b is?
because if b is e.g. 1 we have infinitely many aps
then it's just 1 yeah
so with 1
we'd have infinitely many aps
because 1*x (x in R) never hits a multiple pi?
as pi is irrational
?
well it does
cus x is real
not integer
But that doesn't matter, because we will keep spinning around the circle
I always confuse things lol
I thought x is rational for a second
Thats partially my bad
You will hit every point on the unit circle a infinite number of times
Since x is real
So they are definitely AP for sure.
One way to think of this is b describes the speed at which you spin
If b is positive, then you spin anticlockwise
If b is negative, clockwise
Let's say your x is increasing at a constant rate (let's say 1 per second)
b = 1 vs b = 2
You spin twice as fast with b = 2
Handwavy explanation for the visualisation
b = 1, 2.5, -1 for those examples
You can see those dots will never converge to any point as a (a in desmos, x in your question) goes to infinity
The only case they could converge is when your spinning speed is 0
so the limit is non determinate
Shuri2060
Can you imagine what this will look like?
0?
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1}{x}e^{ix} = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x} \cdot \lim_{x\to\infty} e^{ix} = 0 \cdot n = 0$$
how is that 0?
Sure that's how to work it out algebraically
illuminator3
But there is something to visualize too
hm
also thats not 0 . n
lim x -> infty e^ix
is not convergent (as we just worked out now)
this is not 0 man
e is exponential
@pulsar epoch you're not being helpful. shuri is already helping me
e is exponential yes
but are you familiar with complex exponential
i is sqrt -1, so this is different
So algebraically, this is a slight pain
You might justify it by saying the modulus goes to 0
therefore, the limit must be 0 regardless of what the argument is doing
But you can also visualize what this is doing as x changes
in the same way as we did here
never really thought about solving problems visually hm
Where possible, it is usually helpful to try thinking about these limits geometrically
yeah
Sometimes you get an ugly expression and you can't, ofc

Hello
Let $h: \mathbb{R}^4 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function with the following properties: the domain of h is $\mathbb{R}^4$ and all partial derivatives of h from of 2 or lower exist and have the same domain as h. Let $H: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function defined by $H(x,y) = h(-3, e^{xy}, x^2 + y^2, y-x)$.
How can I prove that the partial derivative $\frac{\partial H}{\partial x}$ exists?
veganlatina
My idea was to prove $\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{H(x+h,y) - H(x,y)}{h}$ exists, but I don't know how I can prove this limit exists
<@&286206848099549185>
@rotund ingot Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> anyone?
use the chain rule
But how?
write H as the composite of two partial differentiable function, then H has also a partial derivative ||one is the two functions is h||
So something like $\frac{ \partial H}{\partial x} = \frac{ \partial H}{\partial h} \frac{\partial h}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial H}{\partial ?} \frac{\partial ?}{\partial x}$?
veganlatina
if H(x,y)=h(g(x,y)) with $g(x,y)=(g_1(x,y),g_2(x,y),g_3(x,y),g_4(x,y))$, then $\frac{ \partial H}{\partial x} = \frac{ \partial h}{\partial g_1} \frac{\partial g_1}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial h}{\partial g_2} \frac{\partial g_2}{\partial x}+\frac{ \partial h}{\partial g_3} \frac{\partial g_3}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial h}{\partial g_4} \frac{\partial g_4}{\partial x}$

I'm trying to understand the derivation of the Length of the spiral formed within a regular polygon https://mathworld.wolfram.com/PolygonalSpiral.html. Does the equation of the total length of the spiral $L=\frac{1 }{ 2}s\sum_k \cos^k(\pi/n)$ immediately follow from the previous step on the ratio $r/R$? Or are there various steps hidden away?

Problem 1 :
The input is 2 values, that can be in a scale between [-3.89, 10.66]
And i need to compare the difference between an oldValue (A) and a newValue (B).
So i want to create a variable that express this difference.
Let say :
A = -2
B = 3
diff = ?
If i do a simple substraction it doesn't capture the fact that it switches side from negative to positive.
For example if A=2 & B=7, it shouldn't give the same "difference" than the case mentionned above, since it stays positive.
What formula should i use ?
Problem 2 :
Problem 2 is similar as problem 1 but a bit more tricky.
I have :
- M is the mean of multiple values in this scale (probably not normally distributed)
- S is the standard deviation of the multiple values
- X which is a new value i want to compare to the mean/std of other values.
M and X can be treated as A and B in Problem 1. But i also want to use the standard deviation S.
The "difference" variable between X and M should be reduced by the standard deviation :
Logically, the greater is the standard deviation, the lower is this "distance" variable of X.
So I was thinking of something like :
Distance = diff(X,M) - weight(S,X,M)
But i can't find a good formula.. My mathematics and statistics knowledge are lacking. Maybe i'm overthinking and missing a simple solution.
Hope i was clear enough about the issue and thank you in advance for your help!
Background of this problem :
I want to use machine learning on a set of data.
The scale mentioned above is the IDP-hydropathy scale of amino acids (AA), or simply put : their affinity with water (see pic above)
I have an alignment of proteins, and at each position on this alignment, i captured the different amino acids, and their hydropathy scores.
For example :
Position : 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Protein 1 : A-L-Y-V-I-A-A
Protein 2 : A-I-Y-V-I-A-A
Protein 3 : A-I-Y-V-I-V-A
...
So for example let say there is a mutation on Protein 1 at position 6 :
A > P
The hydropathy score changes from A(0.91) to P(-3.89).
And let say the mean of all hydropathy scores at this consensus position ((A(0.91)+A(0.91)+V(4.64)+..)/number_of_AAs) = 1.2.
I want to create a variable that captures the change of hydropathy from the old AA to the new AA, and another variable comparing the new AA to the mean of all AA at the consensus position, then insert these 2 values as features for a machine learning model.
@nimble cliff Has your question been resolved?
@nimble cliff Has your question been resolved?
@nimble cliff Has your question been resolved?
I might be misunderstanding your question. A variable that captures the change of hydropathy from the old AA to the new AA could simply be the difference of their hydropathy values, right?
Yes, but i have the impression i would miss some information
Like :
** Case 1 : **
oldAA score = -2
newAA score = 3
Then difference = 5
Case 2 :
oldAA score = 1
newAA score = 6
difference = 5
the difference is the same in both case
But in case 1 the newAA changes the direction of hydropathy, it goes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic
While in case 2 it stays hydrophobic (or goes from ~neutral hydrophobic to hydrophobic++)
I went the variable to emphasize the "switch" while also giving info on the difference
Ah, OK, so you want to capture sign changes
Yes exactly
and maybe the "neutral" (close to 0) ? but thats maybe too much to ask xD
This is a crude example: the difference if there's no sign change, but double the difference if there's a sign change? Something like that?
Actually yes maybe that could work, i was actually trying to work my mind around this
I don't want to involve too much arbitrary values like saying x2 when opposite sign
but i guess thats the easiest way to do it
Yeah, I don't like it either
How important is the flip, as compared to the absolute difference?
Also what do you mean by this?
This is hard to tell, i supposed it depends on where the amino acid is located
the protein is located in the membrane so part of it is hydrophobic, while some are hydrophilic
an hydrophobic amino acid in the external part of the membrane might have more impact
neutral is close to 0, it doesnt have much relation with water
On second thought, taking all of this into account might make the model a bit too complicated 
Like maybe stick with a simplistic idea first and see how the results are, and refine it as you go on
i tried, i'm at the stage where i try to improve the model 😄
And the hydropathy of amino acid is known to be important for the structure of the protein, especially for proteins located in the membrane, that's why i want to make use of this feature
Aha I see that's cool
Okay so let's say the old and new values are x and y. We want a function that increases with their difference, but is weighted higher if they are of different signs, ie in quadrants 2 and 4. How about a 2d sigmoid kind of thing to accomplish this?
i'm afraid you're mentioning things out of my scope of knowledge haha
Let me google that one second
(thanks for the help btw! )
ok, so i should create a function that transform my data through a sigmoid function ?
Plotting ? you have a specific tool for that? with which data?
Sorry im a bit confused
Sorry, gimme a couple minutes
im a big noob in maths so bare with me, i just copied your formula but i have no idea what it does lol
It seems something might be wrong though
I don't know if it's what you suggested me to do, but i did that :
Yo I am so sorry that was a fool's errand I had no idea what I was doing
please forget about it
Ok np 😄
Okay, so what I'm suggesting, after more experimentation, is that for the difference, instead of using |x-y|, you could use |x-y|*((1-1/(1+exp(-2x)))*(1/(1+exp(-2y)))+(1-1/(1+exp(-2y)))*(1/(1+exp(-2x))))
The '2' inside the exp represents how strongly you want the flips to matter
you could make it more or less
ok thx im gonna try plotting that 😄
basically it takes the absolute difference and boosts its importance if the two numbers have different signs
which would help if paying attention to hydrophobic to hydrophilic changes
uhh... trial and error, let's say 😅
?
About my current problem ? go ahead 😄
Or do you mean a new question for your own math problem ?
sec ome
one*
check the "available" channels section to ask a new question
it looks beautiful but i got no idea how that works haha
I recognize some logistic function ( i just googled them)
Im gonna test in the machine learning model later after diner, see if it improves it, thanks a lot for your help, will keep you in touch
I think the two features can basically be built with the same idea, only difference is y=old AA or y=mean of AA, yeah?
right
but there's also the standard deviation giving a good info on the spread of data
the more spread = the less conserved = the less impact of a mutation
wait, wouldn't more spread mean the mutation is more impactful?
no
like it can do more stuf.. idk..
no it's like the evolution kept things really specific for important things
oh i think i see what you mean
if one amino acid is hydrophobic and among all related proteins it is also hydrophobic, that means this amino acid has a specific role and must remain hydrophobic
thats why if the mean is hydrophobic++ or hydrophilic++ and has a really low standard deviation, there's a high chance that a mutation changing the hydro score will have a bad impact so we want to capture that
yes 🙂
this is some big brain logic here
hm okay then. Let x=newAA, y=mean of old AA, s=stdev or variance of the old AAs. Then you could just use the formula from earlier, but throw in an additional factor of 3*(1-1/(1+exp(-2s) ))
the 3 and 2 are just parameters you can adjust to your liking
Sounds good yes :) thank you i will test that
cool then! i hope it works

How many complex roots does a polynomial of degree 2.5 (or more generally a polynomial of non-integer degree) have? (Sorry for the bad english)
A polynomial has non-negative integer degree by definition.
$z^{2.5} = a$
Shuri2060
Yeah, something like that
Well this should have 5 roots
I will ignore the modulus
$$e^{i \frac{a}{b}\theta} = e^{i(\phi + 2n\pi)}$$
Shuri2060
We perhaps have something like this?
You exponentiate both sides by b/a
This should result in a roots mod 2pi
If you don't have a rational power... I'm not so sure.
It feels like you have infinite roots.

-3x - -x?
???
negative three x minus negative x
Ye that should obvious. If you have negative and negative.
so it's either -2x or -3 (i think)
am dumb
I mean where you get-3 from?
wait I'll type the whole problem
(x^2 - x - 12 ) divided by ( x + 3 )
Okay what did you do?
I put x above the dividing house and give it to 3
so it became +3x
so then i canceled out both of the x^2
and now im stuck with -x - +3x
simplify till none of the numbers have the same variable or they're not the same
like the answer should look like x + 2
Okay if you simply x^2-x-12 what did you got?
my recommendation would be factoring the quadratic first
uhm..
my teacher didn't teach me that yet...
sorry
you know how to do polynomial long division but not factor a quadratic?
ya
i guess

wait what
is a quadratic
Shuri for honorable
Shuri for honorable
uhm
what would this be equal to if you factored it

It was -12. Are you giving him example?
i am
Oh 👍
Huh?
anyways
can you take a picture of your work
and send it here
so i can see what you are doing (and if you are doing anything wrong)?
I recommend you practice first before going any further https://youtu.be/ZaXaBcZxhq4

from 2014 to 6999, how many numbers have a sum of digits divisible by 5
attempt?
I’m not very good at math but I think maybe this?
we dont give answers
@tranquil rivet I have an idea
how about thinking of the process as
picking each digit 1 at a time.
i know you dont
and wdym pick each digit 1 at a time
thats why I hinted
wdym though
“Divisible by 5”
This means they end in either 5 or 0.
Find the first number after 2014 that ends in either a 5 or 0 , and then the last number before 6999 that ends in a 5 or 0.
then big number minus small number /5
read the question.
But do note
we dont give answers

can someone help me with lagrange mutiplier here in b)
i keep just getting values that interest the x+y=2pi line
i came to
if i set up
f_x=lambda *g_x
f_y=lambda *g_y
and take one minus the other i end up with
cos(x-y)=0
and this is correct expression for max min variables, but without looking graphicially it doesnt seem to be enough to actually give me max min values in the region
<@&286206848099549185>
i keep on getting min max values of the intersection of the line with the graph not total
@compact vector Has your question been resolved?
@compact vector Has your question been resolved?
x^2 + y^2 = 1
then x and y are sin and cos theta
like you can directly sub in y = sin theta and x = cos theta
but x^2+y^2=1 is question a), im asking about b) lol
its ok
x = 2pi - y
cos(y) = cos(x)
sin(x)cos(x) = sin(2x)/2
min and max values of that perhaps
@compact vector
where did cosy=cosx come from
how would you explain the optimal values happening at the plane x + y = 2π
cos(2pi-y) = cos(y)
?
idk that part, i’d say math intuition but idk how to justify it. it’s been a while since i did stuff like this
but trust me
i looked at it graphicially, the intersection line is not where the max min values exist
Also, ngl I want the formal solution of a) as well
well of course smh
the partial derivatives getting zero gives you
cos(x - y) = 0, cos(x + y) = 2t
what
i should revisit partial differentials again, at least i learnt that now.
x = π/2, y = 0 gives max, not on the line though
2t? u mean 2pi
nope, 2t
yeah. that’s 1
I'm doing Lagrange's here (@_@;)
you’re right
lambda yeah
so solving this as a set of two variables should give me the anwser for x and y?
not really
here's the thing:
All I know is
you take the partial derivatives
and find the critical points
but that's only if it were an equality constraint
however, here it's an inequality constraint so I'm kinda stuck
huh
you’ll get more than one critical value, in the end you just need to see which one of the critical points gives you the max value
maybe this'd work 🤔
would it be fine if you equate the partial derivatives w.r.t. x and y to 0 (to get the gradient to zero) and then maximize/minimize the function in this plane?
wait i found something
if i take
cos(x-y)=0
cos(x)cos(y)=0
-sin(x)sin(y)=0
i get expression for saddle max min points looks like
you can expand that
to get this
Like ( x - y ) = π/2 is one such plane where cos( x - y ) = 0
And, f(x, y) = (sin x)^2 in this plane
maximize this and you have 1 as maximum value
now pick (x - y) = 3π/2
you'll have f(x, y) = - (sin x)^2 in this plane
minimize and you have -1 (@_@;)
get a load of you matey
what did those sinuses come from
optimizing the function in the plane where gradient of curve zero
😳
I understood nothing
z = f(x, y) is the 3-D thingy right?
ye
so, the minimum/maximum value occurs at z = z_0 right ✓
at this point the gradient = 0 ✓
yeah
that's why I used the condition
and optimised the function on places where gradient = 0? 🤔
hmm ait
so in the end how was i supposed to use it
cuz there was a lot of back and forth and i got sompletely confused sry lol
no worries (ヘ・_・)ヘ┳━┳ I don't know the answer to that either
maybe time to call the <@&286206848099549185>
how to use the method of Lagrange Multipliers with inequality constraints?
or
solve this one in general
cos(x-y) =0 looks right
Now just like x-y= +/- pi/2 or 3pi/2, and substitute into x+y= 2pi
this gives coordinates on the intersection
You plug those back to get the values
what
There are 3 other cases
^
Actually you can ignore the negative ones I think
So 3pi/2
none of those are correct
Yeah, optimizing along the line doesn't give the max or min
Anyways
I got this
:o
yeah i used it on previous questions but it just helps to identify what a set point is
we dont even get the correct points
Honestly id just put y=2pi-x and differentiate
which would again, give you the wrong answers...
I said, solving along the line isn't giving the correct answer
smh
Oh wait it's the bounded region
Yes
I'm dumb
i guess i will just ask the lecturer
i have to wait untill wednsay to ask him doe, annoying i wanted to be done early
so either $\cos x = 0, \sin y = 0$ or $\sin x = 0, \cos y = 0$
This gives 8 pairs of critical points
i mean yeah, i found the critical points like this
but then theyre not bound
and if i get a question like this i cant really look at the graph and shuffle thru points to check which ones fit my constraint
AND
They're all the critical points within the bound
what how did you find them
partial derivative w.r.t. x and y equal zero 
but how did you only get the ones that are bound??
Handpicked them?
well the whole reason i wanted to do lagrange is so i wouldnt have to handpick then when i have little time on the exam 🙃
lmfao
takes only 10 secs max to reject solutions not within the bound
there's only two points out of bound anyways
hm i guess so
ALSO if you're ONLYYYYY interested about the optimization thingy for MCQs
You could now just plug in the values ✓
Note: x = 0 would give f(x, y) = 0 which is not really the min / max
reject the whole second solution set where sin x = 0, cos y = 0
evaluate at first set of points and you have your critical points where min. and max. occurs
eh i guess i will just handpick them
let me ask something else doe
does my solution look correct
@compact vector Has your question been resolved?
It looks close
close?
Almost correct
yeah, but what is wrong
Shouldn't it be $$(J_{(u,v)}(x_0, y_0))^{-1} = J_{(u^{-1}, v^{-1})}(u(x_0, y_0), v(x_0, y_0)) $$ $$ = J_{(x,y)}(u(x_0, y_0), v(x_0, y_0))$$ ?
@compact vector
The inverse of the Jacobian of f at a point (x_0, y_0) is the Jacobian of the inverse function of f at the image of (x_0, y_0) under f, namely f(x_0, y_0), not at (x_0, y_0) itself
That is what I meant here
hm
but on this question they just flipped it
so i have to solve the equations for x and y?
Mm, or maybe your solution could be correct, the text is just sort of vague. If with "compute .. near (x_0, y_0)" they mean "at the point where (x, y) are (x_0, y_0)", as in your liked problem, then you are correct. If they instead mean where (u, v) are (x_0, y_0) then you'd have to take the path I was mentioning
But probably it's the first case, which would make sense the most, so you're actually good as you did I'd say!
uff ait thx for the explanation doe
@compact vector they differentiated the top two equations I tlooks like
damn my book doesnt have a chapter on implicit differentiatin
for example, d(xu)/dx = dx/dx*u + x*du/dx
which is how the 'xu' part in the first equation
is related to the x(du/dx) + u in the second
hm ait imma try figure it out
basically it's normal differentiateion
but if f(x) = x then f'(x) = dx/dx
and dx/dx = 1
but then if f(x, u) = u, then f'(x) = du/dx
so implisit derivation with regard to x of u^2 would be (du/dx)2u ?
yes
wait so what would xy^2+zu+v^2 with regard to u
2y * dy/du + dz/du + 2v * dv/du?
wait no
just xy^2
would it be
y^2 dx/du + 2y dy/du x
Also note that the "implicit differentiation" idea should be part of the statement of the implicit function theorem
If you have seen a theorem by that name
mm no I don't think
Ah yes yes the second line you wrote here is correct
I was reading the first line
nicee
wait how do they not get dy/dx anywhere
am i supposed to look at it as a confstant
Yes. Unless you're calculating du/dy. Then you treat y as a variable and x a constant
nice ait

Could someone check these?
so for the first part, horizontal compression inside is already a reciprocal
so it would actually be 10x inside the bracket
and that would compress it

the question is as follows
how many numbers of 3 DISTINCT digits can be formed with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
I answered 9x8x7 which is 504 and the book says it’s correct
the following two questions are the ones I can’t solve
“how many of these are even”
“how many of these are odd”
Here I tried to add the possible cases, for example when we have 2 evens and 1 odd, 1 even and 2 odds, and 3 odds
the book says 280 odd 224 even
idk how to reach those answers
nvm I figured it out

Google such questions for solutions bruh
sin a+b = sin a cos b + cos a sin b
These are simple and I’ll get the answer fast
bad advice
dont do that please
Thanks RYC
There is no difference between what U wrote and the solution
So will my answer be route 6 + route 2 over 4?
I'm not RYC. He's much better at math, and I'm just voting him for mod...
It’s just a one step solution
I meant after this there’s nothing to it
Then why am I being told to simplify my answer including radicals
Yes darling I expect u to solve the math right
The trig was the crux
Now I didn’t know u had problem in the math of it, solving the radicals
My bad
I don't understand any of it, I don't get whats being asked
If this is simple stuff and I got it I probably wouldn't be asking simple questions lol
Isn't every person that's coming here for math question advice/help?
why are you being rude?
let them ask their questions bruh
why are you making the feel bad about
it
Not a big solution
I meant that in a very neutral tone
Which is also why I said: cause ur learning
The questions is Determine of the values of the given function, sin75, by using 75 = 45 + 35
and the answer is asked Sin 75 = ?
So I don't get how it's simple
45 + 30 not 35
Which is the exact thing used in the ima I sent right?
Image*
The same thing that RYC told you
Yeah I guess so? I'm not sure man I don't know what I'm doing, I don't remember ever seeing sin a cos b = cos a sin b
or +
All my buddies doing it got the answer Root 6 + root 2 over 4
so clearly we're in the dark doing this
It's alright sorry for bugging everyone

Hi
I need help
The question i got is
"You toss a fair coin 10000 times. What are the odds of obtaining more than 5100 tails, approximately?"
It's 51% right?
really?
Yeah
Take a look at what the central limit thm says
That's P(getting 5100 tails)
Well thats the odds of obtaining exactly 5100 tails i guess
Have you done the central limit thm?
it should give you an intuition what the answer should be.
I do not recall actually
Order doesn't matter, so intuitively you would know the chance of getting 5000 tails is higher than getting 1 tail
Hmmm
One way to look at this is you seem to be assuming a uniform distribution
I think
But that would not make sense.
Aw shucks
