#

So the general form of the tangent function is

#

$f(x) = A \cdot \tan{( \frac{2\pi}{P}(x - H))} + V$

#

It looks like you already figured out what P is.

#

That leaves A, H, and V.

#

By observation, the graph appears to "turn" at (-0.75, 5).

little shuttle
#

i have to turn it in in 3 mins lol, no rush

bold bane
#

$f(x) = A \cdot \tan{\left( \frac{\pi}{3}(x + 0.75)\right)} + 5$

warm shaleBOT
#

Kookiemon

bold bane
#

Now you just need to solve for the amplitude.

#

You know that at x=0, f(0) = 2.

#

Doing the math, A = -3.

little shuttle
#

agreed

bold bane
#

$-3 \cdot \tan{\left( \frac{\pi}{3}(x + 0.75)\right) + 5$

That should have been 2pi/p, not pi/p.

@dapper pumice Has your question been resolved?

bold bane
#

What does it mean for f(x) to be less than or equal to zero?

dapper pumice
#

no idea

#

im so confused

bold bane
#

f(x) = y

#

(f(x) = y) <= 0

#

y <= 0

#

That means the intervals you are looking for are where the function is at or below the x-axis.

dapper pumice
#

yea but the way the graph is plced

#

i have no clue

dapper pumice
#

.reopen

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

bold bane
#

So you are looking for those intervals.

#

Not the most accurate graph.

dapper pumice
#

so -3,-1,1?

#

ik thats why im confused

bold bane
#

So there are three intervals.

#

The first one is (-∞, -3].

#

Do you understand why the left-side of that interval is -∞?

dapper pumice
#

because the line goes off the grid?

#

like infinite

#

line never stops

bold bane
#

Well, even though f(x) goes to -∞, the domain also goes infinitely far to the left.

dapper pumice
#

yeah and bracket bc of the point

#

hb the middle point?

bold bane
#

The graph also touches the x-axis at the middle pont.

dapper pumice
#

so the next is (-3,-1]?

bold bane
#

Which is why the question gave you the instruction to indicate a point as [a,a].

dapper pumice
#

or (-oo,-1]

bold bane
#

No, notice the gray part of the graph is above the x-axis which means that f(x) > 0 along that interval.

#

From (-3, -1), the graph of f(x) is above the x-axis.

#

So far part C, you are not interested in that interval.

dapper pumice
#

ah okay

#

so [-1,oo) possibly?

bold bane
#

No.

#

The colors will better illustrate what f(x) <= 0 means.

#

You are looking for the intervals of f(x) that are contained in the green part of the graph.

#

Which also contains the point at x = -1.

#

That is just a singular point that touches the x-axis at x=-1.

#

And the question states to indicate a singular point, write the interval as [a,a].

#

In this case, a = -1.

#

You still there?

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@dapper pumice Has your question been resolved?

dapper pumice
#

ye

#

yes

#

just so confused

#

@bold bane

bold bane
#

When the question asks you for the interval, it is asking about the values of x.

dapper pumice
#

I understood the first interval

#

just confused on the second one

bold bane
#

Did you ever learn about when a function bounces off of the x-axis, it has a linear root to some even power?

#

eg. (x + 1)^2n

#

If you look at the green and red lines, they indicate the values of x for which the condition f(x) <= 0 is true.

#

It's not specifically stated, you have to infer from the graph, that it touches the x-axis at (-1, 0).

little forum
#

I need to find the inital velocity of a projectile with only the time and displacement.

little forum
#

I'm pretty sure I have to use a calculus approach.

#

I'll upload a photo of what I've tried so far

#

The displacement is 66.2 metres

#

The time is 2.83 seconds

#

@little forum Has your question been resolved?

little forum
#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

I'm going crazy

quaint minnow
#

from the picture i’m guessing there’s no vertical displacement?

little forum
#

No

#

The only values I have are displacement, Time and acceleration in the y-axis

#

(We use -10 for grav)

quaint minnow
#

i mean vertical displacement from beginning to end is 0 right?

#

just making sure

little forum
#

Yes, that too

quaint minnow
#

ok

little forum
#

All results are from level ground

quaint minnow
#

well what do you know about how the horizontal component of the velocity changes?

little forum
#

We don't account for wind resistance.

#

Horizontal velocity is constant throughout

quaint minnow
#

yup so just looking at how the projectile is travelling in the horizontal direction

#

it travels 66.2 m in 2.83 s

#

at a constant velocity

#

so the horizontal component is what?

#

(of the initial velocity)

little forum
#

The inital velocity is what i'm trying to find, I have neither horizontal nor vertical.

quaint minnow
little forum
#

I've got Vcos for the x component and -10t+Vsin for the y component

#

Oh, is it just 23.4 m.s?

quaint minnow
#

yeah that’s the horizontal component

little forum
#

Oh ok, didn't recognise that, that's on me

quaint minnow
#

ok now you have yo find the y component

#

we have the equation
v_y = v_y0 + gt

#

(v_y0 is the initial y component)

#

we know that v_y=0 when t = 2.83/2 s

#

since that’s halfway

#

so you can find v_y0!

little forum
#

So since y = o (because we know that v_y=0 when t = 2.83/2 s), so therefore gt is just, -10*2.83 = -28.3

#

Or am I jumping the gun

quaint minnow
#

well yes gt is -28.3

#

but plug numbers into the equation and solve for what we want—the initial y component

#

oh wait i’m sorry

little forum
#

v_y = v_y0 + gt
v_y = 0 + -10**2.83/2*
v_y = -14.15

quaint minnow
#

ope nvm you got it

little forum
#

No no you're all good. I see where I went wrong.

#

Yeah aha

#

I'm just a little sleepy aha

quaint minnow
#

oh you plugged it in a little wrong

little forum
#

So now I can find the inital velocity! (Using Pythagoras)

#

Was it the negative result?

quaint minnow
#

v_y = v_y0 + gt
0 = v_y0 + -10*2.83/2
0 = v_y0 - 14.15
14.15 = v_y0

#

you plugged in 0 for v_y0 instead of v_y

little forum
#

ohhhhhh I seeeeee

#

Oh that makes SO much more sense, The negative result really confused me

#

Thank you so much!

quaint minnow
#

yup no problem!

little forum
#

You're awesome! I was going crazy just waiting, Enjoy your day/night!

Any idea how to solve these sort of questions?

royal basin
#

this is a linear equation

proven zephyr
#

try to isolate the x

next ravine
#

alrighty

#

reached to there

proven zephyr
#

that's not how yoou divide by p...

next ravine
#

Crap...is it because the other p is p^2?

proven zephyr
#

no

#

because there is +

next ravine
#

do I need to subtract it?

proven zephyr
#

no

#

you'd have to divide it too

next ravine
#

do I need to expand 2p(jutst checking)

proven zephyr
#

ye (i thought the brackets)

next ravine
#

cuz then we have p^2 on both sides

proven zephyr
#

that helps

#

wait what

#

2p is not p^2

#

2p is 2 * p
p^2 is p * p

next ravine
#

ayaya yes yes

#

so basic yet so forgettable 😄

proven zephyr
#

anyways...

#

lets just continue from..

#

$$p^2x + 2 = px + 2p$$

warm shaleBOT
#

MarveI

next ravine
#

ok

#

from here what do we do

proven zephyr
#

try to isolate the p x's

next ravine
#

btw, just checking

#

does that play any role

proven zephyr
#

nah

next ravine
#

ok

proven zephyr
#

kinda, but doesnt affect what we're doing rn

#

ok so anyways..

#

you -px both sides first

#

aand then -2 both sides

warm shaleBOT
#

MarveI

proven zephyr
#

after that you just factor the x

warm shaleBOT
#

MarveI

proven zephyr
#

still following so far?

next ravine
#

yeah o.O

proven zephyr
#

now just divide both sides by p^2 - p

warm shaleBOT
#

MarveI

proven zephyr
#

simplify this

next ravine
#

A bit confused there

proven zephyr
#

factor 2 and p

next ravine
#

one moment to try to walk myself through it again

proven zephyr
#

x = 2/p

next ravine
#

Thanks for the note Tom !!

#

Okay so this is where I got my brain around

#

but I am a bit confused what you did on the last step

proven zephyr
#

oh

#

i factorized the numerator and denominator

#

have you learned factorizing btw

#

just to make sure

next ravine
#

To some extend I do remember most of the part. 3-4 years ago

proven zephyr
#

ok good

next ravine
#

I am just wondering because

#

2*p is not p^2

#

??

proven zephyr
#

ye exactly

#

but the top is 2p

#

so i factored 2

#

the bottom is p^2

next ravine
#

Okkayy

proven zephyr
#

so i factored p

next ravine
#

I misread it

proven zephyr
#

and get p

next ravine
#

I thought you put 2s

#

not Ps

#

😄

proven zephyr
#

np

next ravine
#

And what is

#

Tom mentioned it

#

but didn't get it completely

proven zephyr
#

ok so

#

if p = 1

#

the bottom will be 1(1 - 1)

#

which is 0

#

so you'll be dividing by 0

#

which is... undefined

#

or undetermined as a some might say

#

the same with 0

#

it will be 0(0 - 1) which is 0

next ravine
#

okayy, does it serve a purpose or is it there just to trick me ?

#

well not trick but to make me think its harder than it actually is

proven zephyr
#

idk

#

depends on what you think

#

😄

next ravine
#

In our case we didn't have to use any of them

Honestly not sure about this question and would like some help please

proven zephyr
#

how did you get 36 d..

polar apex
#

Uhh pretty sure I subtracted 18 from 54 I don’t think that’s right though

proven zephyr
#

ok so

#

$t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$

warm shaleBOT
#

MarveI

proven zephyr
#

wait brb (dldh is here.. yay)

#

im kinda stuck on how to explain

polar apex
#

Ok

nocturne minnow
#

$t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$
That's the given formula, you know $t_4 = 18$ and $t_{16} = 54$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

polar apex
#

Would 54=18+(16-1)d be one of the equations

nocturne minnow
#

Not exactly

#

What does $t_4$ mean?

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

nocturne minnow
polar apex
#

It means it’s the 4th term in the sequence

nocturne minnow
#

Meaning n = 4, correct?

polar apex
#

Isn’t n the term you are trying to determine?

#

Yes

proven zephyr
nocturne minnow
#

And t0

polar apex
nocturne minnow
#

So with $t_4 = 18$, how can you plug in those values into $t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$?

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

polar apex
#

18=t0+(4-1)d?

nocturne minnow
#

Yes good

#

Do the same logic for $t_{16} = 54$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

polar apex
#

54=t0+(16-1)d

nocturne minnow
#

18=t0+(4-1)d
54=t0+(16-1)d
You have 2 equations, 2 unknowns, you can find d and t0

polar apex
#

Yeah

nocturne minnow
#

Can you do that?

polar apex
#

No?

#

Isn’t it a linear system system so you would subtract them

nocturne minnow
#

Sure, do whatever method you need to, to find d and t0

polar apex
#

How would you solve for t0?

nocturne minnow
#

Did you find d?

polar apex
#

18?

nocturne minnow
#

Not quite

#

18=t0+(4-1)d
54=t0+(16-1)d
Simplifies to
18=t0+(3)d
54=t0+(15)d
What do you get when you subtract the two?

polar apex
#

I wait I see what I did wrong d should be 3

nocturne minnow
#

Yes

#

You now know d, use one of those equations to find t0

polar apex
#

t0= 9

nocturne minnow
#

Yes

#

You know t0 and d, plug those into $t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

nocturne minnow
#

Then find $t_{10}$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

polar apex
#

t10=9+(10-1)3 ?

nocturne minnow
#

Yes

polar apex
#

Okie thank you so much for taking the time to help me!

Let $K$ be a field, $\mathcal{V}$ a $K$-vector space and $f: \mathcal{V} \rightarrow \mathcal{V}$ a bijective map. We define the mappings $v \oplus w:=f\left(f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)$ and $\lambda \otimes v:=f\left(\lambda \cdot f^{-1}(v)\right)$, where $+$ and $\cdot$ represent the addition and the denote scalar multiplication in $\mathcal{V}$. Then $(\mathcal{V}, \oplus, \otimes)$ is a $K$-vector space.

yes, let me correct myself

warm shaleBOT

Levens

warm canopy
#

There are some vector spaces axioms you must check, have you tried checking any of them?

supple epoch
#

ok let me try and list the axioms

#

$$

  • : \mathcal{V} \times \mathcal{V} \rightarrow \mathcal{V},; ; ; (v, w) \mapsto v + w, \textit{(Addition)}
    $$
    $$
    \cdot : K \times \mathcal{V} \rightarrow \mathcal{V},; ; ; (\lambda, v) \mapsto \lambda \cdot v, \textit{(scalar multiplication)}
    $$
    and these rules:\
    \
    (1) (\mathcal{V}, +) is a commutative group.\
    (2) For all $v, w \in R$ and $\lambda, \mu \in K$ the following applies:\
    \
    (a) $\lambda \cdot (\mu \cdot v) = (\lambda \mu) \cdot v$.\
    (b) $1 \times v = v$.\
    (c) $\lambda \cdot (v + w) = \lambda \cdot v + \lambda \cdot w$.\
    (d) $(\lambda + \mu) \cdot v = \lambda \cdot v + \mu \cdot v$.\

#

hmmm okay

#

i cant think of anything..\

kind hawk
#

so as one of the axioms we have to proof that $(u\oplus v)\oplus w = u\oplus (v\oplus w)$

warm shaleBOT
#

Denascite

kind hawk
#

using the definition of \oplus, what does this mean

supple epoch
#

direct sum?

#

like something that acts like a + ig

kind hawk
#

just substitute the definition of oplus into that equation

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@supple epoch Has your question been resolved?

supple epoch
kind hawk
#

it's defined in your question

supple epoch
#

ohh...

#

so $(u\oplus v)\oplus w = u\oplus (f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$

warm shaleBOT
#

Levens

kind hawk
#

and now replace the other three \oplus aswell

supple epoch
kind hawk
#

in the same way

supple epoch
#

oh

kind hawk
#

to replace v \oplus w you substituted v and w into the definition of \oplus

supple epoch
#

oh wai

#

okay wait

kind hawk
#

and now do the same first with u and v. then the result of that and w. and on the RHS u and what you got from v \oplus w

supple epoch
#

$(f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))\oplus w = u\oplus (f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$

warm shaleBOT
#

Levens

supple epoch
#

$f(f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))) + f^{1}(w)) = u\oplus (f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$

warm shaleBOT
#

Levens

supple epoch
#

$f(f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))) + f^{1}(w)) = f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$

warm shaleBOT
#

Levens

supple epoch
#

Like that?

kind hawk
#

not super sure with all the brackets but it should look something like that, yeah

#

and now use that f^-1 is the inverse of f

supple epoch
kind hawk
#

it means that $f(f^{-1}(x))=x$

warm shaleBOT
#

Denascite

kind hawk
#

and so it simplifies some stuff

supple epoch
#

oh okay

#

damn this is really confusing with latex, let me do it on paper

#

but at the end i imagine, you'd get something like this: u + v + w = u + v + w, right?

kind hawk
#

no it doesn't cancel that far

supple epoch
#

oh oksy

#

$f\left(f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}(v)\right)+f^{-1}(w)\right)=f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}\left(f\left(f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)\right)\right)$

warm shaleBOT
#

Levens

supple epoch
kind hawk
#

no

#

you can simplifiy the RHS one step further. and I think you messed up your LHS

supple epoch
#

Damn it

#

Oh yeah

#

There’s another f^-1 I missed

#

$f\left(f^{-1}(f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}(v)\right))+f^{-1}(w)\right)=f\left(f^{-1}(u)+ f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)\right)\right)$

kind hawk
#

some brackets on the LHS are wrong

#

it should look like the RHS

supple epoch
#

After that, I have to do that same with multiplication, right

kind hawk
#

well not the same but something similar

supple epoch
kind hawk
#

well you have to prove 4 different ones

#

also we are not done yet in showing that (V, \oplus) is a commutative group

#

so far we have only shown that \oplus is associative

#

or well we stopped one step before that

rain quest
#

Im trying to find the formula for getting the total amount after 365 days. If you recieve 500 on day 1 and every day lowers by 1.36, day 2 you get 498.6, so on day 365 you will get 1. Whats the total of all the days combined? I thought it might be as simple as taking the avg # of all the days, 250 and multiplying by 365 = 91250 is this right?

heavy thicket
#

I assume you’re trying to find the sum of all those numbers?

royal shard
#

income: f(t)=500-1.36t

#

for the total accumulated income you want to take the integral

#

total: F(t)=-0.68t^2+500t

heavy thicket
#

^

rain quest
#

my calculation was close, online calculator says 92,155 if i typed it in right

royal shard
#

if we want the total, we need to find the day on which we get no more income

#

so f(t')=0

#

500-1.36t=0
t=500/1.36=367.647

#

F(368)=91911.7

rain quest
#

interesting how close each different calculation is

royal shard
#

wait ima check something

#

ok i was wrong

#

dunno where though

#

$$\sum_{i=0}^{367} (500-1.36i)=92161.9$$

warm shaleBOT
#

~Martin

royal shard
#

no idea why my first approach was wrong

#

but i dont see how this one could be wrong, so my first one must be wrong

nocturne minnow
royal shard
#

f(367)>0

#

f(368)<0

nocturne minnow
#

But it's the amount after 365 days, not 367

royal shard
#

why dldh btw?
i always wondered that

#

oh 365 ok

#

$$\sum_{i=0}^{365} (500-1.36i)=92158.8$$

warm shaleBOT
#

~Martin

nocturne minnow
#

,w sum from 0 to 365 (500 - 1.36x)

nocturne minnow
#

,w 460794/5

royal shard
#

ohh that is nice

nocturne minnow
#

It might be 0 to 365, key word might

rain quest
#

yall trippin me out with these equations lol

lament sage
#

is it possible to do (500*365)-sum_{i = 1}^{365}(1.36i)

royal shard
#

$500\cdot 365 - \sum_{i=1}^{365} (1.36i)$

warm shaleBOT
#

~Martin

royal shard
#

yes you can

nocturne minnow
#

0 to 364

royal shard
#

why 364?

nocturne minnow
#

0 is the first number, 1 is the second, etc so 364 is the 365th number

royal shard
#

but you have to include 365 no?

nocturne minnow
#

If you include 365, then the index number goes to 366

royal shard
#

uhm

lament sage
#

heh, i just put the thing into a python script, the script says 92158.80, or around that-

royal shard
#

that sounds weird

lament sage
royal shard
#

my calculator says
$$\sum_{i=0}^{1}=1$$

warm shaleBOT
#

~Martin

lament sage
royal shard
#

with your logic
if i include 1, the index number goes to 2

#

or am i misunderstanding

nocturne minnow
#

$$\sum_{i=0}^{365} (500-1.36i)$$
Vs
$$\sum_{i=1}^{365} (500-1.36i)$$
Is the amount of terms

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

nocturne minnow
#

Top one is 366 terms, bottom is 365

royal shard
#

ah yes

#

i get that

#

but the value is the same

#

wait it isnt

#

if you exclude the 500

nocturne minnow
#

The only difference for the bottom, is you need to account for the shift

royal shard
#

then it is the same

nocturne minnow
#

Yes

#

Once you account for the shift, it'll be the same

how do i find the derivative of a function that has another function within it shown as such

hybrid gull
#

Chain rule!

#

You can google it, and it'll give you the formula

#

h'(x) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)

urban shoal
#

right i understand chain rule and i should have given the rest of the question as well but with the given it still doesnt provide me with the right answer

hybrid gull
#

What have you tried?

#

If you know h'(x), what is h'(1)?

the chain rule which gives me f'(-3)*(-3)

anyone?

river kindle
#

Have ya tried anything yet

#

Also what rank are you in league 👀

maiden swift
#

lmao just startin g out ranked the other day

#

but no, this is suppossed to be a log equation ik that

#

so it needs to be set up like one

#

but what goes where and why ig is my question

#

<@&286206848099549185>

nocturne minnow
#

Do you know the formula to use?

maiden swift
#

basically

nocturne minnow
#

Not that

#

Half life formula

maiden swift
#

oh no

#

that was alll that was given

nocturne minnow
#

I doubt that

#

You're given a problem about half life

cerulean tulip
#

Ce^kt ?

#

do u know that

maiden swift
#

ill look again rq

nocturne minnow
#

That's not the best one to use

nocturne minnow
cerulean tulip
#

hm idk then

maiden swift
#

do be honest i dont see anything

#

this is more of a chem than a math question

nocturne minnow
#

Have you seen, $A = A_0 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}$ before?

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

maiden swift
#

i think so maybe with diff variables

nocturne minnow
#

You mean instead of A, it was something different?

maiden swift
#

yes

nocturne minnow
#

Because t and h are common, t standing for time and h for half life

nocturne minnow
warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

maiden swift
#

this is wher ei thought i had saw it

#

but idk if it has relation?

nocturne minnow
#

No not needed yet

maiden swift
nocturne minnow
maiden swift
#

in the question itself?

nocturne minnow
#

Yes

maiden swift
#

taking a shot in the dark here\

#

100 = log_36 (1000)?

nocturne minnow
#

Where is that coming from?

#

I gave you the formula $$A = A_0 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}$$

warm shaleBOT
#

dldh06

maiden swift
#

oh ok, im just nto entirely sure i can use that for this question

#

but lets try either way

nocturne minnow
#

You kinda have to because that's a half life equation, which this problem is about

maiden swift
#

ikik, it makes no sense to me because this course has no relevance to it but thank you either way

#

100 = 2000_0 *(1/2)^36/h

#

?

cerulean tulip
#

whyd u plug in 36 for t

nocturne minnow
cerulean tulip
#

shouldnt it be in the denominator

maiden swift
#

ohhhh right

#

yes

#

we are solving for how long

nocturne minnow
#

And you don't need the _0 part

#

That was for formatting for the bot

maiden swift
#

100 = 2000 *(1/2)^t/36

#

gotcha

i did the rise over run

austere heath

what did you substitute?

and got hte answer

#

-0.9

nocturne jungle

and the rise

austere heath
#

so you're given a slope

#

and a point

nocturne jungle

yep

austere heath
#

so you can solve for the linear equation

nocturne jungle
#

yea

#

except

#

i only need the

#

x

nocturne minnow
austere heath
#

eh I feel that it's easier to solve for the equation

#

imo its more straightforward but

#

if it works the other way then go for it

oh

#

yea

#

y2-y1 over x2-x1

nocturne minnow

And that equals?

nocturne jungle

the slope

nocturne minnow

So $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

#

Correct?

yes

Do you think you know what to do now?

yess

#

sub and solve

#

thank youuuu

austere heath
#

yo I'm not gonna lie

#

I completely forgot that slope equation existed lmao

And that's why I stated there was a much more straightforward method

isn't this a strictly increasing function?

obtuse pebbleBOT
wanton tendon
#

Yeah it is

#

So just put increasing for all values then. However at one specific point there is no increase nor decrease

proven condor
#

which is the absolute point I'm guessing?

hoary cargo
#

@proven condor yes it is an increasing function

proven condor
#

there's no relative max or min

#

but a plateau at 2, 10

#

do I call it it abs max or min, or neither?

hoary cargo
#

check at the end points of the given domain interval [0,5]

proven condor
#

I already did that

hoary cargo
#

then they are abs max and min.

proven condor
#

last thing, how do I find concavity and inflection points?

hoary cargo
#

use second order derivatives and look for conditions for concavity and infection pt

proven condor
#

2nd order derivative? so like derivative of the derivative?

hoary cargo
#

right, you should look for it

proven condor
#

P''(x)=0, so there is a POI

#

but how do I describe the concavity? (last question)

#

@hoary cargo

#

neither concave in or out?

hoary cargo
#

you can easily find condition for concavity, just google

Exceeds limit

#

It is the correct answer though

hushed rivet

multiply

Show that if x ≡y (mod 12) and x′ ≡y′ (mod 12) then x + x′ ≡y + y′ (mod 12). This shows that
addition modulo n is well defined. Note that there is nothing special about 12; your proof should
work if 12 is replaced by any integer n > 1.

tardy stratus
#

Are you asking for help in proving this fact? Where are you stuck so far?

hexed lintel
#

I stuck at Suppose a ≡ b (mod n). Then, by definition, we have
a − b = nk

#

Am I doing right?

tardy stratus
#

This is indeed the definition

#

I agree that unrolling the definitions is a good start

#

So putting it in the notation of the question, we know so far that x - y = 12k

#

What else do we know?

hexed lintel
#

I don't have any thoughts, sorry

tardy stratus
#

Ok, I'm going to describe this systematically, and if there's anything that's unclear, please ask

#

the information we have is:
(1) x ≡ y (mod 12)
(2) x′ ≡ y′ (mod 12)

#

By definition, this means that there exist whole numbers k and k' such that:
— x - y = 12k and
— x' - y' = 12k' (this is the part I was wanting you to bring up next)

#

Our goal is to show that x + x′ ≡ y + y′ (mod 12), and by definition this means that we only need to show that (x + x') - (y + y') is a multiple of 12, yes?

#

(apologies, a small typo there)

#

I'm going to put this into a different form:
(x + x') - (y + y') = (x - y) + (x' - y')

#

Now how do you think we can show that this guy is a multiple of twelve, given the information we already have?

hexed lintel
#

Yes, I think

tardy stratus
#

Please go ahead

hexed lintel
#

just divide by 12?

tardy stratus
#

Division by twelve is unfortunately not the right approach here.

#

Look at the information I wrote out above. We have equations for certain quantities.

#

specifically, x - y = 12k and x' - y' = 12k'

#

We now want to show that (x + x') - (y + y') = 12x for some whole number x. We just have to find this number x.

#

Given my observation that (x + x') - (y + y') = (x - y) + (x' - y'), what do you think we can say?

hexed lintel
#

x=x'?

tardy stratus
#

No, that is not true in general.

#

For example, despite 1 not being equal to 13, we do have 1 ≡ 13 (mod 12).

#

We cannot assume that x = x'.

#

Let me give you a hint: if things are equal, we can substitute them into equations.

hexed lintel
#

0? in the second one

tardy stratus
#

Can you elaborate? I don't quite understand what you mean

hexed lintel
#

I mean if we solve second equation it will be 0

tardy stratus
#

This is an interesting understanding. None of the equations here are to be solved – there is nothing to solve for here.

#

The two equations that we got in the start are our starting information, and the second one is in fact an identity, meaning it is true no matter what values of x, x', y, and y' we choose.

#

Let me reiterate our goal again.

#

Our goal is to show that x + x′ ≡ y + y′ (mod 12).

#

To show this, by definition we need to show that there is some whole number b (we don't know what it is yet) such that (x + x') - (y + y') = 12b.

#

Ah – I see what you mean! My choice of name was bad. I will call this whole number b instead.

#

Are you with me so far? Do you agree with this?

hexed lintel
#

Yes

tardy stratus
#

Great stuff

#

Now I pointed out that (x + x') - (y + y') = (x - y) + (x' - y'), so maybe you can see a way to use this observation to find our number b in terms of our previous information

#

Do you think you can give this a shot?

hexed lintel
#

can you please give an answer? if no, I will try to do my best

tardy stratus
#

x - y = 12k and x' - y' = 12k'

#

So (x + x') - (y + y') = (x - y) + (x' - y') = 12k + 12k' by substitution

#

so (x + x') - (y + y') = 12(k + k')

#

By definition, this means that x + x' is congruent to y + y' mod 12, since k+k' is an integer.

hexed lintel
#

thank you

tardy stratus
#

Feel free to ask for clarification on any details.

astral ivy
#

@tardy stratus I have a question regarding this
|| what is wrong with this proof? Let a(n) = n + x’, and then since
x ≡ y => f(x) ≡ f(y), we have
x + x’ ≡ y + x’ ≡ y + y’, by substitution||

tardy stratus
#

I'll be just a moment, sorry

astral ivy
#

||oh I suppose that conditional isn’t obvious
x = y (mod n)
n | x-y
…???…
n | f(x) - f(y)
f(x) = f(y) (mod n)||

tardy stratus
#

I'm sorry, I am a bit confused by your definition. Do you mean f(n) = n + x' or something else?

#

Can you please write out what you mean to prove explicitly?

astral ivy
#

I mean to prove the problem he posted

#

Sorry gimme a sec

tardy stratus
#

No problem

astral ivy
#

Yeah there

#

The a(n) = n + x’ is a function of n

#

Assuming x’ is fixed

tardy stratus
#

OK

#

So let's say we're working just mod 12, right

#

you're saying that x ≡ y (mod 12) implies f(x) ≡ f(y) (mod 12)?

astral ivy
#

Yeah

tardy stratus
#

If we unroll that, you're claiming that x + x' ≡ y + x' (mod 12), which is true, but I think it needs proof.

astral ivy
#

Although now I realize that might not be true/easy or prove

tardy stratus
#

I don't think it's super hard actually

#

You can get it straight from the definition. Give it a shot!

astral ivy
#

x = y (mod n)
n | x-y
…???…
n | f(x) - f(y)
f(x) = f(y) (mod n)

tardy stratus
#

So here's a nice tip

#

Often "adding zero" is helpful

astral ivy
#

Hmm

tardy stratus
#

Note that x - y + 0 = x - y + x' - x' = (x + x') - (y + x')

#

You see how I've added 0?

#

And now I think you can reinterpret this

astral ivy
#

Hmm

tardy stratus
#

If it's not clear, (x + x') - (y + x') = f(x) - f(y) :)

astral ivy
#

Oh I see what you’re saying

astral ivy
#

Like for any f

#

But I don’t know if that’s possible

tardy stratus
#

Oh, well it's certainly not true for any old function f

#

I think it's a good idea to try and come up with an example

astral ivy
#

Hmm

#

Oh yeah that’s stupid

tardy stratus
#

Not at all

astral ivy
#

Just make a piecewise that moves x down by 1 and y up by 1

#

Then they don’t divide each other

tardy stratus
#

Sure, for specific x and y that works yeah

astral ivy
#

Hmm

#

Then I wonder what kind of function f would preserve the divisibility

#

Probably some sort of polynomial or rational function maybe

#

Nah cause adding 1 messed things up

#

Hm that might be an interesting question

tardy stratus
#

Yeah I think so too

#

I agree, I think any polynomial will preserve divisibility, since we know that multiplication and addition do

#

I don't think there's any super nice description of these in general, unfortunately. They could be very wild.

astral ivy
#

Oh whoops it’s not diviisibility

#

It’s mod n equivalence

#

Ok so yeah polynomials

tardy stratus
#

Oh yes, that's what I meant too lol

astral ivy
#

I think you’re right about that tho, it seems too vague to characterize

tardy stratus
#

Not vague I don't think, but certainly too permissive. There's too much that such a function can do.

#

Ah. You don't mean mod n for some specific n do you? Or do you mean for all n?

astral ivy
#

oh for all n

#

Yeah true

#

Ok I’ll go there

Im a bit confused on how to ans this

#

cuz 2x2 would be
a b
b c ? How do i find the basis for it

main cedar
#

A 2x2 symmetric matrix is of the form

a c
c b

#

Can you think of a way to write this as a linear combination of three matrices

#

(check the edit, mixed up symmetric and diagonal lol)

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@spare sphinx Has your question been resolved?

spare sphinx
#

Ooh okay, let me try

#

Would it be

#

1 1 0
0 1 1
?

#

soo
1 0
0 1
?

#

thatd be the basis?

#

and dimension would be 2 ?

brave bramble
#

That looks like a 2×3 and a 2×2

#

You're trying to come up with a basis of all 2×2 symmetric matricies, so the basis will be made of 2×2 symmetric matricies

#

The dimension will not be 2. However, note that the dimension will also not be 4, as the symmetric condition limits how many matricies there can be.

spare sphinx
#

🤔 umm
