Anyone know what equation this is?
looks like some awfully written physics equation
something about black holes according to wikipedia
why are you working with an equation you've never seen before
er - expression, rather?
wtf
its from a manga
middle right is hawking radiation just need ot figure out how to use it because it deals with large extra dimensions (n)
schwarzschild radius is pretty easy
Mbh is black hole mass
@safe spade Has your question been resolved?
This question again? I'm no physicist, but my best guess would be that this is Planck's law for black body radiation. Basically, a black body emits radiation, but it does not emit all frequencies at equal amounts. You use the equation to work out how much of a given frequency will be emitted if the body is at a certain temperature.

I need help on this question I can’t remember how to find the sin cos or tan for something not on the unit circle
@languid jay Has your question been resolved?
Show the original question
Ok
The question itself I have no issue with
I just can’t remember how to find sin cos or tan of something not on the unit circle
<@&286206848099549185>
Please I beg of you
calculator
We can’t use calculators
That’s the problem
Also it has to be in radians
Idk our teacher is strict like that
you maintain the correct units
Yeah Ik how to turn it into radians and Ik that cos is the x value
But anyway, you know $$\sin(337.5)=\sin(360-22.5)=-\sin(22.5)$$
Mosh
through simple identity work
Ok can you explain the identity work
1st equality is addition, not explaining that
period of sine is 360deg, so $\sin(x)=\sin(360+x)$
Mosh
and sine is odd so $\sin(-x)=-\sin(x)$
Mosh
Closed by @languid jay
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
and you can easily find sin(22.5).

Let $\mu$ be an absolutely continuous probability distribution with distribution function F and density f. For any Borel set $\Lambda$ and $a<b$, let v($\Lambda \cap [a,b]) = \int_{a}^{b} \mathbb{I}{\Lambda}(x)f(x)dx.$ Show that this defines a probability measure v on the Borel sets of $\mathbb{R}$, and that v=$\mu$. Conclude that for positive Borel functions g, $\int{a}^{b} g(x)dF(x)=\int_{a}^{b} g(x)f(x)dx.$

(this isnt a test btw this is just a part of the review that my teacher gave. It is an optional assignment and does not count toward my grade.)
im not even sure where to start on this question
do you know the definition of a geometric sequence?
isnt it like multiplicative
yes, but more specific than that
basically, each terms is the previous term multiplied by a specific value
Since each term is just the previous multiplied by a specific number, you can find the ratio by doing division of subsequent terms
i.e. $f(n) = ar^{n-1}$ and $f(n+1) = ar^n$, so $f(n+1)/f(n) = ar^n/ar^{n-1} = r$
Zybikron
So since you know $f(2)$ and $f(6)$ you can find $f(6)/f(2) = r^4$
Zybikron
$f(6)/f(2) = ar^5/ar = r^4$
Zybikron
but you have values for f(6) and f(2). So you can find r by setting the two equal and solving
🤷♂️ it's part of learning
so what is the value of f(6)/f(2)?

@civic zealot
are you good with sequences zybikron?
Just ask your question and don’t ask for someone to be ready
I have half of it figured out
well like I have a platform set out for the problem
I saw that zybikron helped someone with a sequence problem above so I asked

Assign variables
What does your work look like so far?
r is for geometric sequences

Use d for arithmetic sequences
is x ok?
That shall be sufficient for now
Arithmetic: 9, 9 + x, 9 + 2x
Geometric: 9, 11 + x, 29 + x
Now you can find x given that geometric sequences have a common ratio
The quotient of one term divided by the next term is always constant
I believe it’s the same given that the arithmetic series is modified (adding 2 and 20) to create the geometric series
The geometric sequence comes from the arithmetic sequence
hmmm alright alright
29 + 2x - sorry about that

I’m making all sorts of mistakes here 🤦
Arithmetic: 9, 9 + x, 9 + 2x
Geometric: 9, 11 + x, 29 + 2x
soooo x is equal so what can be do with that?
How can we relate the terms in the geometric sequence we have here to each other?
What equation can we make relating these terms together using this fact?
$$\frac{9}{11+x} = \frac{11+x}{29+2x}$$
痛苦
this..?
Yup 🙂
Yes - can you explain how you got this?
uh yes
You’re correct
I have $$121 + 22x + x^2 = 261 = 18x$$
痛苦

well because in a geometric sequence consectuive terms have a common ratio and if you divide it, you will get the common ratio
Nice
痛苦
121 - 261 ≠ -139
using GF its 2sqrt143
oh its 140 oops
so 14 and -10
are my solutions?
or is it -14 and 10

Which pair?
Solve the equation - what are its solutions
They should follow the original rules that the problem gave you
If they don’t, then maybe we made a mistake
so is it -14 or 10
its -14 because we want the smallest right?
so its 1
@hybrid gull
Whichever gets you the smallest
Check x = -14 here
Arithmetic: 9, 9 + x, 9 + 2x
Geometric: 9, 11 + x, 29 + 2x
Do you get arithmetic and geometric sequences?
yes
its asking for smallest possible value for the third term in the geometric sequence which is 29 + 2x
so when its -14 its 29 + 2(-14) = 1

its been kind of confusing for me, so I just wanted to confirm that:
the rank of a matrix = the dimension of a column space = pivot of the column space
but they do not equal the dimension of the space that the matrix is a subspace of (i.e. a 3x4 matrix whose column space is a subspace of R^3 but may have a rank of 2)
@pearl rover Has your question been resolved?
yeah i think that is
say the matrix is 3x4 then it sends vectors from R^3 to R^4 right
but if the rank is 2 then the column space would just be a plane in R^4
got it, thx! was confused since my book says the dimension n of the subspace = R^n
wish they didnt give the definition this way

Which one bro
How do we do (b)
I believe they are perpendicular if the dot product of the normal vectors to the plane are zero
idk what a "direction vector" would be for a plane
yup sorry edited
way overthinking it
as azeem said, they're perpendicular iff their normal vectors are perpendicular(that is, their normal vectors have dot product 0)
My bad but the question about non Skegness is question 2
,w define skew line
Wait they cannot be parallel?
._.
._.
But these are vector equations though? If they are not parallel, wouldn’t they will interscect?
x + y + z = 1 and x + y + z = 2 are two parallel planes
a circle about orgin is $x^2+y^2=r^2$
azeem321
So what do you think a sphere equation would be
Yeah x^2 +y^2 + z^2 = 1 is a sphere
yh
So how would we do that question?
Since the x axis are parallel they are not skewed?
Since if they were skewed then they must not intersect and are not parallel
So if they are parallel then they are automatically cannot be skewed?
In the first one, it is parallel in the z axis?
(3k + 2, k - 1, 2k + 3) and (3t - 1, -t - 4, 3t + 2)
(3, 1, 2) . (3, -1, 3) = 9 + 6 - 1 = 14 not zero
so at least they're not parallel
Now, you need to show that they intersect
👌
So yeah, they intersect and hence are not skew
Wait how did you get k and t values
Okay got it
I thought that -t was a positive t
What happens if it is a positive t instead?
wdym?
Like if the equation for y makes it so that it becomes t - 4
And then you are trying to find t and k, how would you find it then?
Wait you removed the two different equations?
which ones?
He is probably talking about the messages u deleted just now
And I asked something as well.
Thank you very much for taking the pain to write it down
How do we know when two line equations intersect?
Like in 2d plane, i can see that if they are parallel they wouldn’t intersect
But in the 3d, Is it so that even when they are parallel they still intersect?
Do you know where these two equations came from?
Yes
The x-, y- and z- coordinates to be same for both lines at the point of intersection.
If the two x-, y- equations don't give a result, or have no solution, then it's sufficient info to conclude that the lines don't intersect
Yeah
If the two x-, y- equations, however, have multiple solutions, then the two are parallel, and you'd have to check with the z- equation
for a particular solution
Multiple solutions?
Depending on that, you can conclude whether both line coincides with each other, or intersect exactly once
If they have multiple solutions wouldn’t that only exist for degrees of 2z/
3t + 6 = 3k + 2
and
t + 2 = k + 1
.
.
How are these multiple solutions?
(3t + 6, t + 2, t + 2), (3k+2, k + 1, k + 1) coincide
and wtf do you mean by multiple solutions?
when I say multiple solutions, I clarified, very clearly, about me talking about "EQUATIONS"
If two x-, y- equations have multiple solutions, then you can't really say anything until you check with the z- equation
what problem are y'all doing rn
So from an earlier example, wouldn’t that be multiple solutions]\
Given equation of two lines, to determine if it's skew. Ex. 2.4, 2 b)
ok so parameterize them both, write down a system of 3 equations in 2 unknowns, and establish that it is inconsistent
what's the big deal exactly
OP received the answer is now curious what happens if the equations were: $$\frac{x-2}{3} = y + 1=\frac{z-3}{2} , , \text{and} , , \frac{x+1}{3} = y - 4 = \frac{z - 2}{3}$$
do the same thing
Yeah
the first line is parameterized as (2 + 3t, -1 + t, 3 + 2t) and the second as (-1 + 3s, -4 + s, 2 + 3s)
use the definition of a pair of skew lines
If they are skewed then the third one should have the LHS and RHS invalidated
Meaning they cannot equal
Yes
But didn’t you say something about if the first two x and y are not equal to each other then the z is not equal
And you should only go to the z only if you have multiple solutions
Are we done discussing the original question?
Yes
okay
(2 + 3t, -1 + t, 3 + 2t) and the second as (-1 + 3s, -4 + s, 2 + 3s)
Here, for example: second equation gives -> t = s - 3
Plug into the first, you get: -> 3s - 7 = 3s - 1, which is true for no t, s
hence, the two lines never intersect
Okay so this is using one of the equation to find the intersection using the other one
@rough bough Has your question been resolved?
(2i+4j-6k ) . (i+4j+3k) = 2+16-18 = 0
since the normals are perpendicular, so are the planes
@rough bough
oh, so what is your doubt ?
l1 = (2i-j+3k) + a (3i+j+2k)
do the same for l2
equate i,j and k to get 3 linear simultaneous eqns
solve to get a and b using 2 of the 3 eqns
use those values in the third eqn. if they’re equal, they don’t skew. if they’re not equal, they don’t intersect
general idea of approach to this problem

Hi! On this image the angle alpha appears in "two places". I know there's a mathematical rule that explains why (something about parallels I think?) But I don't remember which one. Could someone explain this to me or at least tell me the name so I can look it up?
in the triangle with alpha and P vector
yes
you have angles alpha and pi/2 and pi/2 - alpha
if we are talking in radians
the y- component is perpendicular with surface
yes
if we are only given alpha between the x axis and the stripped surface, we can deduce the angle between the P vector and Y axis being alpha, no ?
yes
in that scenario, we would know it's pi/2 - a certain angle but not necessarily alpha right ?
i think i got you confused im going to make a drawing
ah thank you very much!
yes!
since BC hits the ground perpendicular
the angles of a triangle should equal 180
that means the sum of the three angles should equal 180
we have two angles given alpha and 90
right
so the last angle would be 180-alpha-90
that would be 90-alpha
in triangle ACD C would be 90 degrees because we choose the y axis perpendicular with the slope
we already know 90 - alpha
then we find the angle on the other side to get 90 degrees
do you understand?
so we know angle ACB is 90-alpha and angle ACD is 90 degrees is that right
well its dangerous to say that lets say divide c in c1 and c2
acd is 90 degrees
and ac1b is 90-alpha
we need to find c2 for wich c1+ c2 is c
so 90-alpha +c2 = 90
no problem :))

Hello I got a problem here and I don't really know how to solvei t
The question goes: You score 9 out of 10 goals on a penalty. During one season you get to take 10 penalties. What are the odds on scoring minimum 9 goals?
Let X be the number of goals. X follows a binomial distribution with what parameters?
The way i tried to solve it was i calculated the odds on scoring 9 goals then one miss and after that multiply by 10 since the order of the miss can occur any penalty out of the 10
$P(X\geq 9)=P(X=9)+P(X=10)$
Mosh
isnt there any other methods to calculate probability?
not really
for example a coin. If you flip it 4 times what are the odds on it being heads 4 times in a row, i usually do (1/2)^4
ok but back to my first problem, how am i supposed to solve it?
sorry english is not my first language, what do you by that?
$X\sim \operatorname{Bin}(n,p)$ what are n and p?
Mosh
n being the number of trials
p being the probability of success
10 and 9
0,9
They always score a goal....?
0.9
yes
so then just plug everything into the formula
$P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Answer is B
F_gsin(theta) is component down the incline
Yeah
yeah
Wdym
Fg = mg and canceled the m
You wrote cos instead of sin
Oohhh
Did I really need to repeat that?
F parallel is cos tho
acceleration is down the incline
cause it's assumed to not leave the incline
so ma only considers forces along the slope
$\sum F_x=ma \ \sum F_y=0$
Mosh
So I use sin for Friction ?
friction is a whole other story.
Please: read what I am saying
Cause you're clearly not
The component of gravity is wrong
Nowhere did I say friction was wrong
So I don’t cancel m and keep it as fg
OMFG
Read
You used cosine instead of sine
And don't change the subject.
For the component of gravity down the incline, you used cosine instead of sine.
I use sine for both ?
Are you purposefully not reading?
I am I just don’t understand what u mean by down the incline
Yes
So the vector components along the incline.
The gravity component down the incline uses sine not cosine.
Okay I understand that part but what gravity component is down the incline
The one that points along the incline
Which point is thattt
Where do I put sine in
Sorry man but we haven’t directly learned about what you are talking about
I just need to find the coefficient of friction

riemann

$a_{n}=S_{n-1}$ so $a_{n}=S_{n}-S_{n-1}=a_{n+1}-a_{n}$, $a_{n+1}=2a_{n}$
Oh yes S_n is the sum of a_k k from 1 to n

Compute the sum
$$\frac{2}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} + \frac{2}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4} + \frac{2}{3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5} + \cdots$$
kaniii
so,using partial fraction decomposition, I was able to write every term as $\frac{1}{n-1}+\frac{-2}{n}+\frac{1}{n+1}$
kaniii
now, im not sure how to use telescoping to combine and eliminate terms
does your sum start at n=2?
write out the sum for n=2, 3, 4, 5
yes
4/3 -> 59/24 -> 141/40 -> 137/30 ->
i mean don't simplify. you should see cancellations if you write out the summands
$(a_1 + b_1 + c_1) + (a_2 + b_2 + c_2) + (a_3 + b_3 + c_3) + (a_4 + b_4 + c_4) + ...$
riemann
where this is $a_n + b_n + c_n$
riemann
i did that but i couldnt really find any
let me show
$(\frac{1}{1}- \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4}) + (\frac{1}{3} -\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{5}) + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{6}) + ...$
there
kaniii
but we dont have 3 fractions of any same denominator
i still dont see it
look for 1/4
?
what's $c_2 + b_3 + a_4$?
riemann
@timid silo Has your question been resolved?
0
Generalize it to any n now
It also holds for 1/3
And if you write more you'll cancel more
Write it out
Are you supposed to evaluate a series
i dont know the limit
like you dont know what limits are?
or you don't know how to take the limit of this
this
so what do i do
u there?
@tardy epoch (sorry to ping)
?
?
Does that decomposition help you in the slightest?
yes?
then
can you see the terms cancelling?
for some n, there exists a n - 1, and a n + 1, so 1/(n+1) + 1/(n - 1) would be present as long as n > 2, and those terms will cancel -2/n 
here's a better decomposition that let's you see the telescoping series
$\frac{2}{n(n+1)(n+2)} = \frac{1}{n(n+1)} - \frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}$
now, I believe you can follow up and hope you'll remember this decomposition
yes
and trhis is what i got
ok
but that still doesnt help me find the sum
when n goes to infinity, what happens with 1/(n+1)?
get smaller?
approaches 0 i think
so we can say the sum is 3/2
yes, exactly. it approaches 0
did you do this wrong?

yes
Well then calculate (1,3,-1) x (2,-1,3)
And you'll get (8,-5,-7)

Yeetus
Doesn’t make any sense
Looks like E is a subset of X right?
But S is a subset of P(X)
Oh nvm
I didn’t see “collection of”…
Oh so you need to prove two things
Proving first, that S’=collection of subsets having that form, is a sigma algebra containing Y and {Z}
Next proving any sigma algebra T containing Y and {Z}, S’ is contained in T
Proving those two things I think
The second is trivial right
That leaves us the first one
Proving S’ is a sigma algebra
No
You only need to prove S’ is a sigma algebra now
Originally You want to prove that S’ is the minimal sigma algebra generated by Y union {Z}, which is equivalent to it being the minimal sigma algebra containing Y union {Z} , which is equivalent to it being the intersection of all sigma algebra containing Y union {Z}
That’s why you need to prove the following two things, and the second one is trivial
Doing with you
No something missed
Actually three things I put the first two together
1, S’ contains Y union {Z}
2, S’ is a sigma algebra
3, for any sigma algebra T containing Y union {Z}, T contains S’
And 3 is trivial
Maybe 1 is also trivial
Yeah 1 is also trivial
Any A from Y , A=AnZ union An Z^c
And Z=XnZ union empty n Z^c
Any non empty sigma algebra of X must contain X and empty
Yeah only 2 left
Yeah that’s the only thing left to be done
We do it by definition I think
Just proving it satisfies what a sigma algebra should satisfy
Complementation , countable union or intersection
?
You need to prove that the complementation of AnZ union BnZ^c must also be of this form
By definition
Yeah
By definition
Idk, but
It’s the only thing left cause I found
Countable union is easy
Countable union of (A_k nZ)U(B_k n Z^c) is (AnZ)U(BnZ^c) where A / B is the countable union of A_k / B_k respectively
So only complementation left
Using algebra now
AZ+B(1+Z)+AZB(1+Z)+1=AZ+B+BZ+AZB+AZB+1=AZ+BZ+B+1 and I need to write it as some EZ+F(Z+1)+EFZ(Z+1)=EZ+FZ+F
No a union b is a+b+ab
Complement of a = 1+a
Nvm I still need to translate back into set theory anyway
I got it
It is (A^c n Z)U(B^c n Z^c)
Left hand side: AZ+BZ+B+1 , this right hand side: (1+A)Z+(1+B)(1+Z)+(1+A)(1+B)Z(1+Z)=(1+A)Z+(1+B)(1+Z)=Z+AZ+1+B+Z+BZ=AZ+BZ+B+1
They are equal
Left hand side I mean
This
So it’s done
Jacobson basic algebra volume 1 chapter 8 has it though, one to one correspondence between Boolean rings and Boolean lattices
Anyway you can check it within set theory

what u tried
The problem is, I don't understand any of it, "Assume that the ratio between the populations was constant"
yea
How does that help me
you want to envision in your mind
damn i was hoping i could find a gif
u ever see a cell split,
so there are now 2, where there were one
then both of those split, so now theres 4
It's poorly worded, but it means, assume that the ratio (population in year N+1 / population in year N) is the same for any N
i.e. that the population grows by the same percentage each year
Linear
Or
It's not?
no
No, it'll be exponential
its exponential
you need two things in your head
first you need the image of cells growing in number by splitting
and second u need to know that two points define an exponential curve
That I did not know sadly
They actually tell you what to do, write an equation of the form $b = ar^n$. Here a = the population in 1997, b = the population in 2017, n = the number of years between 1997 and 2017, r = the unknown rate you want to compute
OurBelovedBungo
they are given in your formula
you need an initial population and a ratio, its equivalent to having two points
7.52B = 5.88B(r^n)?
where n = ?
Those two populations are how many years apart?
(btw, I had to google because I didn't believe the population was below 6 billion in 1997, it's insane how fast it grows..)
Yep, just need to solve that equation for r
Yes
7.52/5.88 = r^20
twentieth root???
Haha, yes
Gross
Well i guess the question only asks for a formula...
Do you have more of these types of problems so I can practice?
whoops
had to add my own brackets
Pretty scary what 1.2% growth can do when the numbers are that huge
Me? I could probably make one up but do you have a textbook? There should be more in there..
No I don't, sadly
This seems a bit too easy, but maybe I missed something
Try look for exponential growth (or exponential decay) practice problems
Alright

@nova marsh Has your question been resolved?
yes from the fact that j th column of AB is Σb_ij (i th column of A) also i th row of AB=Σa_ij (j th row of B)
(Sum in terms of i / j respectively )
Okay. i and i’ row of A are equal, then i and i’ column of A^T are equal then i, i’ column of B^TA^T are equal, which are i ,i’ column of (AB)^T which are i, i’ row of AB
Don’t understand your symbols
You mean i th row of A?
[A]_i
What do you mean line , row?
Then it’s wrong
It should be Σa_ij [b_j]
j from 1 to n

The answer is B
Am I mistaken in saying the force of gravity along the slope is F_g *sin(34), not cos(34)?
That’s what the other guy said but I didn’t understand
Your saying F parallel should be sine?
Yes. Look at the right triangle you drew. We want the side parallel to the slope. The top angle can be found to be 34, same as the incline. Then you just use trig
Yes

How come
x = 4y
6y + x/2 = 212 isnt right?
Looks right to me
Oh ok cuz the answers on google said it was 6x + y/2 = 212 so i was confused
They just used different letters. y = 4x and 6x + y/2 = 212. They're identical in meaning
Ohh
but the way they solved it they did some let statement saying x was the bigger number and y was the smaller number
but when it said "six times the smaller number" they put 6x

hi for 9f)
Could someone tell me what im doing wrong
I wrote the derivative of f)

(x^1/2) / (x^1/3)
and subsituted 1
and i got the wrong answer so
<@&286206848099549185>
i tooked derivative to help me find m
show work for your derivative
@digital fjord Has your question been resolved?
you could split it up as $y=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt[3]{x}}-\frac{2}{\sqrt[3]{x}}$
worm
try doing the derivative again
also you can't take the derivative of the numerator and the denominator separately you have to either combine it or use the quotient rule
ohh okok
you need to know X ?
i wanted to know x to find m

@dense dagger Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
the mean value theorem is useful here
So I take derivatives of arctanu/u w.r.t. u?
hm, I was thinking just using the MVT for arctan(u)
a = arctan(u)
da/du = lhs
da/du < a/tan(a) < 1
that’s just first thoughts and stuff?
do you reckon we could prove that tho?
idk
ahhh
for some $a\in(0,u)$ $$\frac{\arctan{u}-\arctan{0}}{u-0}=\frac{1}{1+a^2}$$
dino
@dense dagger Has your question been resolved?
@dense dagger how's it going?
Just take it =0 is ok
Ok let me try try
@dense dagger Has your question been resolved?
@dense dagger Has your question been resolved?
I think I got stucked
So my argument is as follows
Let f(x)=arctan(x) be a cont. function on (0,u)
f'(x)=1/(x^2+1)
And hence f'(a)=1/(a^2+1)
For a>0
Then by LMVT,
There exists some real number a belongs to (0,u) such that (f(u)-f(0))/(u-0)=f'(a)
And we have: (arctan(u))/u=1/(a^2+1)
Since 1/(x^2+1) is positive for all x belongs to real, then f(x) is strictly increasing
Can anyone tell me how to obtain this?
