underscores work just fine
@summer stone For the record, my earlier question about factoring was leading to this.
Every polynomial such that P(2)=0 is divisible by X-2, so every polynomial in H is of the form (X-2)Q with Q some polynomial. Since we are restricted to degree 2 or less, Q must be of degree at most 1.
Since a basis for such polynomials is {1,X}, a basis for H is {X-2, X(X-2)}
despite discord treating them as italics, the tex bot does them just fine
$c_0 + c_1t + c_2t^2$
Ann
But it was good to yake your time with it
$c_(0) + c_(1)t + c_(2)t^2$
As my teacher says, "the correct method will be whichever one you wind up using"
oh it works without brackets
oh okay okay
alright, thanks a lot!
and sorry for taking up so much of ur time

How?
How it forces it to be one-one?
isn't that exactly what is explained in the next lines
The fact that it is injective is explained right after
Surjectivity isn't too hard to see, because for instance f(f(n)+f(0))=n so every natural number is reached
Yo lol my math’s weak i dont get it
How do you see it?
have you read the lines immediately after the "In fact, we see that"?
The definition of surjectivity is that for any number n, you can find an input k such that f(k)=n
i.e every output is reached
In this case, we have f(f(n)+f(0)) = n
So for any output, we can find a corresponding input, namely f(n)+f(0)
By definition, it is surjective
But in here k is independent of n right?

Hi, can anyone help me? I don't know how to start 😄
@fallen crane Has your question been resolved?
Without working it out myself, I would start with working out the probability of getting two 6's in a row in 2 rolls. Then getting two 6's in a row on the third roll without getting it on the 2nd roll. I'd then either expect to see some telescoping sum or to realise that I have to work out the probability of not getting two sizes in a row on the 2nd, then third...
Let's say I have 3 throws, then there are two possible solutions, 6X6 and XX6. What are the chances of me throwing one of them?
(1/6)(5/6)(1/6) + (5/6)(5/6)(1/6) = 5/36
that's good?
Or I have to do all the possible combinations
If X is a result that is not 6, your calculations are correct. Don't you want to find when there are two 6s in a row?
So for two rolls, you're looking for exactly (6,6), which is (1/6)(1/6).
For 3 rolls, we have (X,6,6) which is (5/6)(1/6)(1/6).
For 4 rolls, (6/6)(5/6)(1/6)(1/6).
I have to calculate the probability of "ai" first.
(does not fall twice 6 in a row and six fall in the last roll)
Then the probability of "bi."
(does not fall twice 6 in a row and six not fall in last roll)
So then I can calculate it now as described.
Then I have to find the generating function for a (x) and b (x) with a system of recurrent relationships
Your calculations look correct for ai for 3 rolls.
Thanks for the help 🙂

What do you do when two directional vectors aren't parallel and they intersect, how do you calculate that?
Break them up into components.
What do you mean?
Do u want to calculate the point where they interesect?
I'm unsure, to be honest.
My teacher gave us this sort of map, what they are if they're parallel and if they're not. But we aren't at that point of just what to do if they intersect.
are you aware of vector equations?
if 2 vectors intersect you can equate the vector equations
and then find a common scalar product value
then plug them back into the equation to get the position vector for the point of intersection
Yes!
ok so imagine you have 2 vectors
and the question says they intersect
You just have to equate the vectors
(r=r)
and then split them into components
them solve them simulatenously
to find t
it's hard to explain without a question
You mean like in this example mutliply (-4) by 7 and 4 by (-2) ?
Okay so I found this question, now they have given the 2 vector equations
Now we know that these 2 equations aren't parallel as the direction vectors aren't equal/aren't a multiple(the direction vector is the one after μ or λ
Now r gives a position vector on any point of the line of the vector
The μ or λ is known as the scalar parameter so I would be refering to it as that from hereon. The scalar parameter varies to give a position vector on the line relative to an origin O.
Now if these 2 intersect the position vectors should be same. So let's equate the 2 terms as they have done here
r=r
and then you can split the that into i, j and k as they have shown
Now you can use simulataneous equations to solve it to find a value for either μ or λ
And then after you find a value for either one, you can substitute that into the relevant equation (r) to get the position vector
what's μ and λ ?
So it's like a variable but for a specific point?
a vector equation is defined in this form
Where (-4 7) is any point on the line and (7 -2) is the direction vector(the vector which gives that direction)
think of it like in the y=mx+c form
yes
it changes on where you put the point
Hmm
Ok so for example
Try calculating the vector equation for AB
where OA=(5 6 7) and OB=(1 2 3)
now the direction vector would be any vector parallel to AB or the vector of AB itself
in this case finding AB is easier
AB=OB-OA
=(1 2 3)-(5 6 7)
=(-4 -4 -4)
So now that vector equation would be r=(5 6 7) + λ(-4 -4 -4)
or r=(1 2 3) + λ(-4 -4 -4)
as (1 2 3) and (5 6 7) both lie on the vector line
But those two are different numbers, so how are they the same?
the vector equation is defined like that
those 2 points can be any point on the line
but depending on the point which you choose to put, the value of λ changes at a different rate
alright
The two directional vectors are the same, so it doesn't matter just where the locational vector lies, since the directional vector dictates that they're both on the same line and are thus overlapping or the same
Right?
Uhh the 2 directional vectors of 2 vector lines will be the same only if they are parallel
Directional vector
is the one after λ
Yeah I get that
I think what you are talking about is the one before that
Wait so what was this
?
I mean, there's two things to do if a directional vector is parallel or not
Yes: they're identical or parallel or No: They intersect and are "warped"
Are you asking how to prove if 2 vectors are parallel?
what I did above was to prove that 2 vectors intersect and if so find the position vector of the point of intersection
I was looking for what do to if they're unparallel
ok so you want to find the position vector if they aren't parallel right?
and if they intersect
Yea!
coz if they are parallel they would never intersect in the first place
np, if you don't understand you can ask again
Thank youuu
although I might be offline

There is a pet with 8 skill slots , now it has 8 skills ABCDEFXY and the target is to change the skills to ABCDEFGH. If you use a skill book , it will randomly replace one skill slot with the new skill like I use skill book G and it replace B it becomes AGCDEFXY. What is the expected value of skill books in order to get ABCDEFGH. I think I need to use markov chain to deal with this question but I don't know how to actually compute this. Futhermore, the skill book is A 100,B200,...,H 800 gold. what is the strategy of minimum gold

How do I determine the shortest possible distance between these two functions?
Shortest possible vertical distance?
Then you want to minimize:
h(x) = e^x - 2x
@rocky cosmos Has your question been resolved?
How do I minimize that? h'(x) = 0?
h'(x) = 0 will give you all the extreme points except perhaps the endpoints.
So, it can give you minima or maxima.
And we're interested in the minimum?
Right.
Is this right?
So, h''(x) > 0 will happen at the minima since the slope (first derivative) is increasing at a minimum.
Yes, that looks good. Check h''(ln(2)) > 0 to ensure it's a minimum.
Unless you're allowed to just look at the graph.
so ln(2) is the minimum distance between these two graphs?
No, that's the x value it happens at.
You need to fill that x into the two functions to see how far apart they are there.
e^ln(2)-2*ln(2) is the distance?
Yes, that's right.
Minimum vertical distance. A neat challenge to find the minimum actual distance
@rocky cosmos Has your question been resolved?
@scarlet gale Is it possible to set up a function using the distance formula, then get the derivative for it to find the shortest distance or?
Yes, if you want the shortest distance, not the shortest vertical distance.
@rocky cosmos
I tried to find on Google, but why can't we find the shortest vertical distance using the distance formula?
You want to minimize vertical distance right
Distance formula is not vertical distance
@fierce lagoon ”2D distance formula gives the shortest distance between two points in a two-dimensional plane.”
what we have in our q is also two points.
so why doesn't it work more specifically?
Hm
Atcually
It should work if x is the same throughout
But that's so redundant
what's redundant?
so the distance formula can be used?
,w √((ln(2)-ln(2))^2+(2-2ln(2))^2
@fierce lagoon@scarlet gale
isn't this the same answer?
this is the distance formula
,w e^ln(2) - 2ln(2)
@rocky cosmos Yes, that works, but it's not the easiest way.
@scarlet galeWhy, in your opinion?
Because the first term is always 0.
Then the second term is just sqrt(something²).
Which is essentially |something|.
Which, since it's nonnegative is just something.
You'll find out that it'll be f(x)-g(x) in the long run
And you might as well maximize f(x)-g(x) from the get go
what happens is this
$\sqrt{(x-x)^2 + (f(x)-g(x))^2}$
What the
\sqrt
Umbraleviathan
You know I'm smart
This is just f(x) - g(x)
√(f(x)-g(x))² = f(x) - g(x), yeh
but don't we get our answer faster this way
what do you think
No, because you have to calculate f(x) - g(x) for both.
And the distance formula has you doing extra work besides that to get the same thing.
Just f(x) - g(x) is the simplest.
Okay thanks
No problem.

No because knowing you want to minimize vertical distance, that just follows the suit f(x) - g(x)

B here is a banach space and (1) is any series.
I understand why absolutely implies unconditionally, but how can I show the other direction?
(This is from ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL CONVERGENCE IN NORMED LINEAR SPACES By A. DVORETZKY AND C. A. ROGERS)
@vernal gyro Has your question been resolved?
So this is a bit above my level regarding series (I just looked up the definition of unconditionally convergent), but maybe this can be a starting point (I'm using a the idea of positive/negative so I guess it doesn't work for not totally ordered fields unless you can generalize it) ?
By contraposition: let's take a series that doesn't converge absolutely and show it doesn't converge unconditionally. Since we're in finite dimension, let's use a basis and limit ourselves to a dimension/coordinate (there is a least one) for which the projected series (i.e. its values in that coordinate) does not converge absolutely. Then it is known (?) (in the reals at least) that you can rearrange the sum to converge anywhere, by changing the order of the positives and negatives. This would mean that different permutations converge to different values, hence it is not unconditionally convergent in this dimension, thus not at all.
@vernal gyro Has your question been resolved?
I'm assuming by way of contradiction, that although the series converges unconditionally, it does not converges absolutely?
And now I'm rearranging the elements... In what way... ? Something to do with the positive and negative factors of a chosen basis ?
I think I lost you. Can you be a bit more rigorous?
"I'm assuming by way of contradiction" I said by contraposition: not ACV => not UCV so UCV => ACV
sorry, I misread
as I'm trying to detail this I realized that even just talking about coordinates is weird because ACV is done looking at a series in R+, so that already is problematic
but by triangular inequality it works
we can use the max norm, according to some basis, since all norms are equivalent
if it helps?
my idea was to go to a single coordinate so that the things we sum are in a field and not a vector space, thus simpler to work with
so then since the series doesn't ACV it implies that for one dimension the series of the vector's coordinates in that dimension doesn't ACV
then if (for now with loss of generality) we were in a R vector space, we know that we could rearrange the sum (as it converges, because we easily restrict ourselves to the study of convergent series) to converge to different values with different permuations
and that's what you wanted me to detail ?
The fact that different permutations can converge to different values ?
Let me think for a minute, see if I understand
If we are in one dimension R, we can split the series to its positive and negative values, sum of two series, assuming that it doesn't converge absolutely, one of them must not converge. Therefore by rearranging the terms we get a series that does not converge. Thus the 1 dimensional case (I think) is solved, right?
if the series converges but not absoutely, both the sum of the negatives and of the positives go to their respective infinity. So if you want a sum that converges to L, (wlog L >= 0) you just add positive terms until you're above L, then add negative terms until you're below L, and repeat. There's a permutation that does that so it shows that the series doesn't UCV
but I don't know how to generalize this to non-ordered fields
do you have any idea if/how we might generalize this ?
no, but it's getting late where I'm at, so I think I'm done with math for the day, and hopefully I will get back to it tomorrow
should I close even though it is not resolved?
if you're going to bed the bot will probably close it during the night anyways
I will let it close when the time comes if so, just in case someone will have an idea I could check in the morning
I'd recommend pinging helpers to people are more likely to have a look at it

is C correct?
seems so, though i don't like how close that graph is to 2 at x=0 
Lol
Not sure why they would do something like that...
More room for confusion rather than understanding the idea of limits
I think C is also correct here
cuz there is a discontinuity at 0
and lim as x approaches infinity is -1
are you sure about that last one?
half sure
with l'hopital's rule it comes out to be 0
I'm just worried I got something wrong because I've selected C in the last three problems...
thanks

I thought 1 wasn't true
there is a discontinuity at 0
the function is defined at x=0
the value assigned at x=0 matches the limit as x -> 0
Ohh shit I just noticed
hence continuous
Yeah idk bro brain fart
no worries, it happens 😀
So it is A
It is D
in particular, III is implied by I (do you see why?)

im rather confused
they factor out a $(-1)^k(k+1)$

and it becomes: $(-1)^k(k+1)[\frac{-k}{2} + (k+1)]$
So which part confuses you
how does $(-1)^k(k+1) * \frac{-k}{2} = \frac{(-1)^{k-1} k(k+1}{2}$
Joseph Fourier
tell me its an error please
Joseph Fourier
$(-1)^k(-1) = (-1)^{k+1} = (-1)^{k-1}$

$(-1)^{k+1} = (-1)^{k-1} (-1)^2 = (-1)^{k-1}$

I am not sure how to find out if f"(2) is positive or negative. I know that f(2) = 0 and that because its decreasing f'(2) is some negative number.
@crisp wren Has your question been resolved?
Is it not 0?
The answer key says it has to be C
I watched a khan academy video about it and looking at f(x) around f(2) its decreasing more from the left than the right, so shouldnt there be a concavity change at f'(2) making f''(2) = 0?
f(x) decreases by 1 on [1, 2] and decreases less than 1 at [2,3]
I think f(2) is an inflection point
I might be 100% wrong though, just laying out my thought process
f(2) = 0, look at the graph
but im not sure about f'(2)
f is decreasing so f'(2) should be negative
But i dont know how to compare f'(2) and f''(2)
@crisp wren Has your question been resolved?
The slope is going from a more negative number to a less negative number
So f’’(2) is actually positive

What does the unlined statement mean?
I've always thought dividing in trig equations was a no go because you lose solutions
Well, perhaps cosθ+sinθ ≠ 0 does get rid of solutions, but you can check those later
Right now, you can exclude that and find the other solutions
Who knows
Dividing and making hypotheses can and often does lose solutions, but it's not a big deal as long as you go back and check if you missed anything by making these hypotheses
$\cos\theta+\sin\theta = 0$ means $\cos\theta = -\sin\theta = cos(\frac\pi{2}+\theta)$, which is a nice formula to have in mind
Syst3ms
The equality of cosines means either $\theta = \theta+\frac\pi{2} [2\pi]$ or $\theta = -\theta-\frac{\pi}2 [2\pi]$
Syst3ms
The first equation has no solutions
The second one means 2t = -π/2 [2π] ie t = -π/4 [π] (notice the modulus change)
Hence t = 3π/4 or t = -π/4
You just have to check if those are solutions that you didn't account for yet

Okay, so i have a task to do with basic maths and im paying 10€ if someone can solve it.
If you know Coding (Javascript) it will be perfect.
https://i.xpyth.dev/paclOR9l.png
Default rate:
a: 10
b: 60
c: 40 (ME)
If i put custom rate (Line 89)
a: ? (something like 8% ??)
b: ?? (something like 50% ??)
c: 60 (ME)
If i set my rate for c to 60, how can i get the rate of a & b using their default rate and considering they will be shrinked because C is taking from their part.
If im not clear just tell me i will give mor details
10€ On the line rn, willing to pay a lil bit more if someone can even bring the code with it
(This is not homework assignment btw)
Please read #❓how-to-get-help and #rules
I don't think im violating the rules considering thoses are not homework assignment, am i wrong ? @nocturne minnow :/

Need help with b
hmm what are the two equations you found?
a) x = r - 4
and?
you have two equations right?
one was the answer for a, which was what one side of the triangle was and the other one i was tryna use pythagorus to find the hypotenuse (radius)
Yeah, did you manage to use the Pythagorean theorem?
yeah but i got stuck at
c^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2
c^2 = 47 + (r-4)^2
so is this correct
c^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2
c^2 = 49 + (r-4)^2
c^2 = 49 + x^2 - 8x + 16
c^2 = 65 + x^2 - 8x
c = sqrt(65 + x^2 - 8x)
therefor r = sqrt(65 + x^2 - 8x)
can you express c in terms of x and r?
ouch 7^2 is 49
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c is the hypotenuse but also equivilent to the radius so
c, r and (if sub x for c in the eq), c are all equal so ill just use r for the term to describe em all
so in the end
r = sqrt(67 + r^2 - 8r)
it's not very useful to have r stuck inside and outside
we want all the variables r to be put on one side
$c^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2$ is okay, which can substitute to get $r^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2$
Element118
okay so solving a bit we can deduct r^2 and change 8r to be on the other side to get
8r = 65
hmm that dosent seem right
oh so i should of just left it
you have r=65/8 yeah?
we can also check our answers by substituting them back into the equations we found
x=r-4, so we can calculate x from there
and see if x^2+7^2=r^2
r^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2
r = sqrt(49 + (r-4)^2)
don't repeat the simplifications when you check it
here we should get x=33/8 so x^2+7^2=1089/64+49=(1089+3136)/64=(4225)/64=(65/8)^2
yeah but this is non calculator work
for us
so liek 33/8 shouldnt need to be done as that is a horrible number to do in your head
especially at our level
yeah but r=65/8 seems to be it

maximise x^2y given that x+y=2022?
yes
there's no maximum
wait u sure?
yeah, there's no maximum
there's no maximum, i.e. you can get as large as you want
Aaaaa
thx
but
Can I solve also dis one
4^x+6^x=9^x
Wait
nvm
I found it
We divide everything by 9^x
then
we have a quadratic
and then
as a final answer we get
Phi

Hi
Is there a common “way” to find the general form of a succession by having its values?
Or is it just about luck and some logic? 🤔
For the recursive way its way simpler…
For example, by having: {-2; 6; -18; 54; -162; …}
How can I find out that one general form might be: An = (-3)^(n-1) * (-2)
?
@timid silo Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Honestly, pattern recognition is just trying out things and hope they get you somewhere
There isn't any set method, otherwise many problems would be solved by now
In this case, perhaps you could have tried factoring everything by 2 since every term is divisible by it
You'd have gotten -1,3,-9,27,-81,... which are clearly powers of -3 in some capacity

what am I doing wrong here?
@neon crypt why did log_2(x)^2 turn into log_2(x^2)
^^
right my bad
but still, the results I get are x=2 or x=0.5
in the book its x=+-2 or x=+-0.5
wait what's happening here?
i think you lose solutions since you did log_2(x^2) = 2log_2(x)?
mistake, but even after doing it correctly its wrong
maybe, what would be the correct way to do it?
you just need to fix this mistake
and solve like normal
go from $4\log_2^2(x)=4$
a disappointing son
if it helps, let u = log_2(x)
I already did that.. the problem is that my solution is different from the right one
what are you getting as your solutions
a^(log_2(a)) = 16
(a^log_2(a))^(1/log_2(a)) = a = 16^(1/log_2(a)) = 16^log_a(2) = 16^(0.25log_a(16)) = 2^(log_a(16))
a^log_a(16) = 16 = 2^(log_a(16)^2)

what?
what're you doing lol
I get log_2(x) = -1 and log_2(x) = 1
i eventually got log_a(16) = 2 and log_a(16) = -2 with a = x^2
i edited my above message
can you send the full way you got to the point? just to write it on paper or something
yeah it's hard to read
this is literally all my work
i can put it in latex i guess
$$a^{\left(log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:16\left(a^log_2\left(a\right)\right)^{\left(1/log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:a:=:16^{\left(1/log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:16^log_a\left(2\right):=:16^{\left(0.25log_a\left(16\right)\right)}:=:2^{\left(log_a\left(16\right)\right)}a^log_a\left(16\right):=:16:=:2^{\left(log_a\left(16\right)^2\right)}$$
ElegantSort
god
$$a^(log_2(a)) = 16$$ $$(a^log_2(a))^(1/log_2(a)) = a = 16^(1/log_2(a)) = 16^log_a(2) = 16^(0.25log_a(16)) = 2^(log_a(16))$$ $$a^log_a(16) = 16 = 2^(log_a(16)^2)$$

quantum
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
i am not typing that again
I found 2 as the only answer lol
your mistake is on the 2nd line, multiplying the exponents instead of bringing the log down
as quantum said earlier, you lose solutions by doing that
$a^{\log_2(a)} = 16\implies a^{\log_2(a)\cdot 1/\log_2(a)} = a = 16^{1/\log_2(a)} = 16^{\log_a(2)} = 16^{0.25\log_a(16)} = 2^{log_a(16)}\implies a^{\log_a(16)} = 16 = 2^{\log_a(16)^2}$
you might just have to suffer and read my original message
I think I will do my own translation to paper
your way works just fine if you bring the log down immediately 
anyway, thanks for the help, although I think this question is pretty absurd

which way?
your og way
at what point?
the first pic you posted
instead of multiplying the exponents, bring the log down first
like quantum said, you lose solutions when getting rid of the x^2
that's why you only have the positive solutions
I went the easy way
$$\left(x\right)^{4 log_2x}=16$$ $$\left(x\right)^{4 log_2x}=2^4$$
there
Hyperlix
plug 2 into x and boom
oh my god
note that 1/log_a(b) = log_b(a)
ok its solved

Here you don't need it
Because you can use a^2-b^2 formula
But i don't think there is any other way in the earlier one
What would it b then
$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$

Hi, I'm doing vector calculus and I am having a bit of trouble computing the supremum and infimum of a function over some closed region
this is the problem
so I have showed that there exists a critical point at (0,2) and that it's actually a local minimum
now I want to search for the supremum, which can only occur at the boundary because the region is closed and boudned
so I tried using Lagrange multiplier
Why does closed and bounded imply supremum is on boundary
wait it doesn't?
but if you think about something like a 1 var function
and you restrict the domain
the minima might also be at the boundary?
min and max either occur at a cirtiical point or the boundary
oh yea I know, so I'm trying to search for that at the boundary
and to do that I use lagrange multiplier
but uh, when I solved it, I get some nonsensical answer, so I don't know if my approach is wrong or my calculations are wrong
show your work
wait why would x=0 give you the max or the min?
why not?
yea but how would you even prove that?
prove what?
that max/min occurs when x=0
oh
wait oh I just realised
in that lagrange multiplier working out, I did exclude x = 0 huh
right ok
give me a sec
oh my god that makes a lot of sense

whats an easy way to calculate from 1+2+3... +23 here?
is the best way to just plug into summation calc?
just read it on wiki, is it : 23(1+23)/2?
actually no slightly off.. shld be 253
wrong
but formula is correct
try to think again what should be first term, last term and n
i get the ans if i do 23(22)/2
n is the num of thigns to add up right?
first term is 0, last is 22?
yes
this one wrong
isnt that what they do here?
read the question again carefully
frst is 22, last is 0?
why last is 0?
sorry its 1
yes
but if I do 23*23/2 its not right
so now you have first and last term ady
for n, you can count from first term to last term. see how many numbers are there in between
yes

How do I find Cos,sin, and tan
How u compute it?
There are 2 main methods for some special angles like 45 60 and 30
U can use trig table
sin=opposite/hypotenuse
SOH
cos=adjacent/hypotenuse
CAH
tan=opposite/adjacent
TOA
For others machlaurian series of sin
I think we ment how we compute them without actually having to draw a unit circle
Who is "he"?
the longest side of the right angled triangle
What if it's not a traingle and they are all equal
