oh i just used them because i couldn't figure out how to add subscripts

#

because it italicised my text instead

royal basin

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)}

royal basin

despite discord treating them as italics, the tex bot does them just fine

$c_0 + c_1t + c_2t^2$

#

But it was good to yake your time with it

summer stone
#

$c_(0) + c_(1)t + c_(2)t^2$

rugged kite
#

As my teacher says, "the correct method will be whichever one you wind up using"

summer stone
#

oh it works without brackets

summer stone
#

alright, thanks a lot!

and sorry for taking up so much of ur time

How it forces it to be one-one?

royal basin
#

isn't that exactly what is explained in the next lines

rugged kite
#

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

finite flame
#

Yo lol my math’s weak i dont get it

royal basin
finite flame
#

Yes

#

I got it

#

Thanks

rugged kite
#

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

fallen crane
#

Hi, can anyone help me? I don't know how to start 😄

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@fallen crane Has your question been resolved?

real orchid
#

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...

fallen crane
#

that's good?

#

Or I have to do all the possible combinations

real orchid
#

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).

fallen crane
#

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

real orchid
#

Your calculations look correct for ai for 3 rolls.

void helm
#

What do you do when two directional vectors aren't parallel and they intersect, how do you calculate that?

real orchid
#

Break them up into components.

void helm
#

What do you mean?

strong sinew
void helm
stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

Hm

#

A bell is faintly ringing in my head somewhere

stable oak
#

This is the vector equation format btw

#

Have you learnt this yet?

void helm
#

Yes!

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

You mean like in this example mutliply (-4) by 7 and 4 by (-2) ?

stable oak
#

uh not exactly

#

hold on let me try to find a question

void helm
#

Okay!

#

Thank you, by the way

#

I appreciate it 😊

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

what's μ and λ ?

stable oak
#

It can vary giving any point on the line

#

so basically

void helm
#

So it's like a variable but for a specific point?

stable oak
stable oak
#

it changes on where you put the point

void helm
#

Hmm

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

But those two are different numbers, so how are they the same?

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

Ah

#

I think I get it

stable oak
#

alright

void helm
#

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?

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

Yeah I get that

stable oak
#

I think what you are talking about is the one before that

void helm
#

Wait so what was this

stable oak
#

?

void helm
#

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"

stable oak
#

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

void helm
#

I was looking for what do to if they're unparallel

stable oak
#

ok so you want to find the position vector if they aren't parallel right?

#

and if they intersect

void helm
#

Yea!

stable oak
#

coz if they are parallel they would never intersect in the first place

stable oak
#

just equate the 2 vector equations

void helm
#

Alright

#

Thank you, I must've gotten confused somewhere

stable oak
#

np, if you don't understand you can ask again

void helm
#

Thank youuu

stable oak
#

although I might be offline

I assume they both say 10 for each side so
Take the isosceles triangle on the end and split it down the middle to give a right angle triangle
Use Pythagoras to work out the height

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

rocky cosmos
#

How do I determine the shortest possible distance between these two functions?

brave bramble
#

Shortest possible vertical distance?
Then you want to minimize:
h(x) = e^x - 2x

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@rocky cosmos Has your question been resolved?

rocky cosmos
scarlet gale
#

h'(x) = 0 will give you all the extreme points except perhaps the endpoints.

#

So, it can give you minima or maxima.

rocky cosmos
#

And we're interested in the minimum?

scarlet gale
#

Right.

rocky cosmos
#

Is this right?

scarlet gale
#

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.

hollow sun
#

so ln(2) is the minimum distance between these two graphs?

scarlet gale
#

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.

hollow sun
#

e^ln(2)-2*ln(2) is the distance?

scarlet gale
#

Yes, that's right.

hollow sun
#

damn thats cool

#

thank you

scarlet gale
#

And e^ln(2) can be simplified to 2.

#

No problem.

brave bramble
#

Minimum vertical distance. A neat challenge to find the minimum actual distance

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@rocky cosmos Has your question been resolved?

rocky cosmos
#

@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?

scarlet gale
#

Yes, if you want the shortest distance, not the shortest vertical distance.

#

@rocky cosmos

rocky cosmos
#

I tried to find on Google, but why can't we find the shortest vertical distance using the distance formula?

fierce lagoon
#

You want to minimize vertical distance right

fierce lagoon
rocky cosmos
#

@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?

fierce lagoon
#

Hm

#

Atcually

#

It should work if x is the same throughout

#

But that's so redundant

rocky cosmos
#

so the distance formula can be used?

#

,w √((ln(2)-ln(2))^2+(2-2ln(2))^2

rocky cosmos
#

@fierce lagoon@scarlet gale

#

isn't this the same answer?

#

this is the distance formula

#

,w e^ln(2) - 2ln(2)

scarlet gale
#

@rocky cosmos Yes, that works, but it's not the easiest way.

rocky cosmos
#

@scarlet galeWhy, in your opinion?

scarlet gale
#

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.

fierce lagoon
#

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

scarlet gale
#

\sqrt

warm shaleBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

fierce lagoon
#

You know I'm smart

fierce lagoon
rocky cosmos
#

but don't we get our answer faster this way

#

what do you think

scarlet gale
#

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.

rocky cosmos

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)

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@vernal gyro Has your question been resolved?

haughty coyote
# vernal gyro B here is a banach space and (1) is any series. I understand why absolutely impl...

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.

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@vernal gyro Has your question been resolved?

vernal gyro
#

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?

haughty coyote
#

"I'm assuming by way of contradiction" I said by contraposition: not ACV => not UCV so UCV => ACV

vernal gyro
#

sorry, I misread

haughty coyote
#

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

vernal gyro
#

we can use the max norm, according to some basis, since all norms are equivalent

#

if it helps?

haughty coyote
#

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 ?

vernal gyro
#

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?

haughty coyote
#

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 ?

vernal gyro
#

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?

haughty coyote
#

if you're going to bed the bot will probably close it during the night anyways

vernal gyro
#

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

haughty coyote

#

from the step in blue to the step in red

#

im rather confused

#

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

warm shaleBOT
#

Joseph Fourier

timid silo
#

and it becomes: $(-1)^k(k+1)[\frac{-k}{2} + (k+1)]$

civic zealot
#

So which part confuses you

timid silo
#

how does $(-1)^k(k+1) * \frac{-k}{2} = \frac{(-1)^{k-1} k(k+1}{2}$

warm shaleBOT
#

Joseph Fourier

timid silo
#

tell me its an error please

warm shaleBOT
#

Joseph Fourier

civic zealot
#

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

#

timid silo
#

o my fuck

#

why tf is that allowed

civic zealot
#

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

#

they breaking the rules here chief

#

ay bro this should be illegal

#

im calling the police

civic zealot
#

why? they're just using the fact that it's -1 to a power. This wouldn't work for anything else

#

except 1, i guess

timid silo
#

Yeah I'm joking

#

it just feels illegal

civic zealot
#

lol

#

it happens sometimes

timid silo
#

they're using some sorcery

#

thanks man

#

why do u do it

#

like just spend so much time helping people

#

@civic zealot

civic zealot
#

I like teaching, here I get to choose who to help (I can skip over the a-holes)

#

and I usually do this when I'm not doing something else lol

#

plus it keeps me up to date on my fundamentals, which is nice

crisp wren
#

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.

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@crisp wren Has your question been resolved?

alpine raven
#

f is concave if im not wrong

#

so huh f''(2) must be negative

crisp wren
#

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

alpine raven
#

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)

fathom lion

fathom lion
#

What does the unlined statement mean?

#

I've always thought dividing in trig equations was a no go because you lose solutions

rugged kite
#

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

fathom lion
#

well does it get rid of solutions?

#

or do you not know

rugged kite
#

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

fathom lion
#

how would you check?

#

besides graphing

rugged kite
#

$\cos\theta+\sin\theta = 0$ means $\cos\theta = -\sin\theta = cos(\frac\pi{2}+\theta)$, which is a nice formula to have in mind

warm shaleBOT
#

Syst3ms

rugged kite
#

The equality of cosines means either $\theta = \theta+\frac\pi{2} [2\pi]$ or $\theta = -\theta-\frac{\pi}2 [2\pi]$

warm shaleBOT
#

Syst3ms

rugged kite
#

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

fathom lion
#

ok

#

I think i see what you are talking about now

am i going right

#

i think i messed up in dividing

cedar flicker
#

Where did 4+sqrt12+sqrt 8 come from

high shell
cedar flicker
#

That is not the same as first x

#

X+4

high shell
#

whats the next step after 2√3 -2√2 / 4

cedar flicker
#

you can write it as 2√3/4 - 2√2 / 4

#

cancel 2s so you get √3/2 - √2/2

high shell

oh yes

so is it perhaps the value of 1/x

timid silo
#

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

timid silo
#

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)

I don't think im violating the rules considering thoses are not homework assignment, am i wrong ? @nocturne minnow :/

soft elm
#

Need help with b

obtuse pebbleBOT
mighty geyser
#

hmm what are the two equations you found?

soft elm
soft elm
mighty geyser
#

and?

soft elm
#

its to do with the triangle in the circle

#

what were you asking for sorry?

mighty geyser
#

you have two equations right?

soft elm
#

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)

mighty geyser
#

Yeah, did you manage to use the Pythagorean theorem?

soft elm
#

yeah but i got stuck at
c^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2
c^2 = 47 + (r-4)^2

soft elm
mighty geyser
soft elm
soft elm
#

so in the end
r = sqrt(67 + r^2 - 8r)

mighty geyser
#

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 $r^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2$

warm shaleBOT
#

Element118

soft elm
#

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

mighty geyser
#

how so?

#

65 or 67?

soft elm
#

65

#

this seems wrong

soft elm
#

could you help me here

mighty geyser
#

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

soft elm
#

r^2 = 7^2 + (r-4)^2
r = sqrt(49 + (r-4)^2)

mighty geyser
#

don't repeat the simplifications when you check it

mighty geyser
soft elm
#

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

mighty geyser
#

yeah but r=65/8 seems to be it

soft elm
#

okay thank you

timid silo
#

I was trying to solve this question

#

x+y=2022

#

max((x^2)y)

mighty geyser
#

you mean this constrained optimisation problem?

#

yeah it has no maximum

timid silo
#

Wait what

#

What are you talking abt

mighty geyser
#

what is the question you are asking?

timid silo
#

max((x^2)y)=?

#

How can I solve this

mighty geyser
#

maximise x^2y given that x+y=2022?

timid silo
#

yes

mighty geyser
#

there's no maximum

timid silo
#

wait u sure?

mighty geyser
#

x, y real right?

#

or is it x, y integer?

timid silo
mighty geyser
#

yeah, there's no maximum

timid silo
#

oh

#

so it's nothing?

mighty geyser
#

there's no maximum, i.e. you can get as large as you want

timid silo
#

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

#

(1+sqr(5))/2

#

thx

Hi

obtuse pebbleBOT
timid silo
#

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)
?

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@timid silo Has your question been resolved?

<@&286206848099549185>

rugged kite
#

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

timid silo

Alright, thanks

Differentiating your answer is always a good check

Anyways your answer is the same as there no?

#

I don't know

#

it looks similar but

#

idk how their exponents are negative

slim lake
#

Because they used u=cosx

#

You used u=secx

mossy hull
#

oh duh

slim lake

Integrating, putting in u=cosx and changing to secx you get the same

Good way to check if your unsure is differentiating

what are you getting as your solutions

short spruce
#

when you take the sqrt, consider the +-

#

both cases matter

mild ocean
#

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)

short spruce
mild ocean
#

what?

short spruce
#

what're you doing lol

neon crypt
mild ocean
#

i eventually got log_a(16) = 2 and log_a(16) = -2 with a = x^2

#

i edited my above message

neon crypt
#

can you send the full way you got to the point? just to write it on paper or something

rich holly
#

yeah it's hard to read

mild ocean
#

i can put it in latex i guess

$$a^{\left(log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:16\left(a^log_2\left(a\right)\right)^{\left(1/log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:a:=:16^{\left(1/log_2\left(a\right)\right)}:=:16^log_a\left(2\right):=:16^{\left(0.25log_a\left(16\right)\right)}:=:2^{\left(log_a\left(16\right)\right)}a^log_a\left(16\right):=:16:=:2^{\left(log_a\left(16\right)^2\right)}$$

i am not typing that again

tardy epoch
rich holly
#

I found 2 as the only answer lol

short spruce
#

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

mild ocean
#

$a^{\log_2(a)} = 16\implies a^{\log_2(a)\cdot 1/\log_2(a)} = a = 16^{1/\log_2(a)} = 16^{\log_a(2)} = 16^{0.25\log_a(16)} = 2^{log_a(16)}\implies a^{\log_a(16)} = 16 = 2^{\log_a(16)^2}$

#

you might just have to suffer and read my original message

neon crypt
#

I think I will do my own translation to paper

short spruce
#

your way works just fine if you bring the log down immediately bleakcat

neon crypt
#

anyway, thanks for the help, although I think this question is pretty absurd

short spruce
short spruce
#

your og way

neon crypt
#

at what point?

short spruce
#

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

rich holly
#

I went the easy way

#

$$\left(x\right)^{4 log_2x}=16$$ $$\left(x\right)^{4 log_2x}=2^4$$

mild ocean
#

there

plug 2 into x and boom

mild ocean
#

note that 1/log_a(b) = log_b(a)

#

ok its solved

#

a question that should have taken 5 minutes, finally solved after an hour

#

regardless, thanks guys! you helped me a lot

Ok got it not sure how convenient it is

But use vanishing factor

#

And try to find the zeros of the quadratic

#

It will be a decimal btw

#

Like 0.5

mint rampart
#

Mm

primal lark

#

There gotta b a diff way right

#

What about 16x^4 -y^4

primal lark
warm shaleBOT

Because you can use a^2-b^2 formula

But i don't think there is any other way in the earlier one

Number 13

#

Is it 0 ?

#

I make it

#

X + 4/ X + 4

#

But they cancel eachother

#

But it is 0

#

Is it that simple ?

crystal moss
#

if they cancel each other it's 1, right?

Can someone help me please! it’s inverse functions

fickle shell
#

composing two inverse functions gives you the identity function

proven veldt
fickle shell
#

elaborate on what?

#

composing two functions means you apply one after the other

proven veldt
#

I get that but i’m more so asking on how to solve question 1..

proven veldt

i’m saying this as a visual learner lol.. i’m not asking you to solve the whole question ..

fickle shell

For question one how would I solve that equation..

#

Uh okay nvm is there someone else that can like explain step by step…?

obtuse pebbleBOT

@proven veldt Has your question been resolved?

obsidian isle

To find the inverse you swap x and y then solve for x

prime anvil
#

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

prime anvil
#

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

astral ivy
#

Why does closed and bounded imply supremum is on boundary

prime anvil
#

wait it doesn't?

#

but if you think about something like a 1 var function

#

and you restrict the domain

fickle shell
prime anvil
#

min and max either occur at a cirtiical point or the boundary

prime anvil
#

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

fickle shell
#

show your work

prime anvil
#

so I got y = 36/10, but that would not give you a real valued x

fickle shell
#

try x=0?

#

that case you havent checked ig

prime anvil
#

wait why would x=0 give you the max or the min?

fickle shell
#

why not?

prime anvil
#

yea but how would you even prove that?

fickle shell
#

prove what?

prime anvil
#

that max/min occurs when x=0

fickle shell
#

well if all the equations are satisfied when x=0

#

that is enough

prime anvil
#

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

#

hybrid kraken

whats an easy way to calculate from 1+2+3... +23 here?

hybrid kraken
#

is the best way to just plug into summation calc?

fallen mantle
#

Sum of arithmetic Progression

#

I hope you know what is that

hybrid kraken
#

actually no slightly off.. shld be 253

fallen mantle
#

wrong

#

but formula is correct

#

try to think again what should be first term, last term and n

hybrid kraken
#

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?

fallen mantle
fallen mantle
hybrid kraken
fallen mantle
hybrid kraken
#

frst is 22, last is 0?

fallen mantle
#

why last is 0?

hybrid kraken
#

sorry its 1

fallen mantle
#

yes

hybrid kraken
#

but if I do 23*23/2 its not right

fallen mantle
#

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

hybrid kraken
#

oh

#

n is 22?

fallen mantle
#

yes

hybrid kraken
#

i see noww

how would you go about this

obtuse pebbleBOT
mental mortar
#

number 5

#

im not sure where to start

fallen mantle
#

List out and count how many numbers is a multiple of 2 or 3

mental mortar
#

there are 10 numbers

#

wait nah

#

thats for both mb

#

4 for 3 and 6 for multiples of 2

#

is the answer

#

10/12?

fallen mantle
#

no

#

not 10

#

you need to take into account of the repetition of numbers between multiple of 2 and 3

8/12

yes

How do I find Cos,sin, and tan

obtuse pebbleBOT
primal lark
#

There are 2 main methods for some special angles like 45 60 and 30

#

U can use trig table

earnest elk
#

sin=opposite/hypotenuse
SOH
cos=adjacent/hypotenuse
CAH
tan=opposite/adjacent
TOA

primal lark
#

For others machlaurian series of sin

violet token
#

I'm in algebra 1

#

Idk what those are

primal lark

#

._.

#

No

#

Exactly what he said

primal lark
violet token
#

What is hypotenuse

#

I forget

#

Deol

earnest elk
#

the longest side of the right angled triangle

violet token
#

What if it's not a traingle and they are all equal

earnest elk
#

opposite to the right angle

primal lark
primal lark
violet token
#

What if all sides are equal is what I mean

#

Oh yea

earnest elk
#

equilateral triangle then

violet token
#

You just break it into a triangle

primal lark
#

And

#

Not a triangle

violet token
#

I know where i went wrong

#

I still need help with a question tho

earnest elk
#

which question?

violet token
#

That

#

Idk

#

How to find it

earnest elk
#

Area=1/2(ap)

#

ength of an apothem, and p denotes the perimeter

violet token
#

It's says to

#

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary

earnest elk
#

that 8.3 is apothem in this case

#

yes so find it first

violet token
#

Find what first

#

Idk where to even Begin

#

._.

earnest elk
#

the area

violet token
#

Easter break fucked me up

#

How do I find that?

echo heron
violet token
#

._.

#

I think

#

Idfk

#

My notes are at school

echo heron
#

If not then it’s best not to abuse it idkisleep

violet token
#

I forgot to bring them for Easter break

echo heron
#

Well for regular polygons you can split the polygon into many identical triangles

#

And each of them triangles will have the same area by symmetry
