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).
i have to turn it in in 3 mins lol, no rush
$f(x) = A \cdot \tan{\left( \frac{\pi}{3}(x + 0.75)\right)} + 5$
Kookiemon
Now you just need to solve for the amplitude.
You know that at x=0, f(0) = 2.
Doing the math, A = -3.
agreed
$-3 \cdot \tan{\left( \frac{\pi}{3}(x + 0.75)\right) + 5$
Kookiemon
$-3 \cdot \tan{\left( \frac{\pi}{3}(x + 0.75)\right) + 5$

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you

my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.```
@molten holly -4.
-(2)^2 or (-2)^2
thank you kookie!!
Kookiemon
That should have been 2pi/p, not pi/p.
ah got it
you were a big help, thank you for replying

@past fog
<@&286206848099549185> can anyone please help me?
@dapper pumice Has your question been resolved?
What does it mean for f(x) to be less than or equal to zero?
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.

✅
do you know how to do it?
So there are three intervals.
The first one is (-∞, -3].
Do you understand why the left-side of that interval is -∞?
Well, even though f(x) goes to -∞, the domain also goes infinitely far to the left.
so the next is (-3,-1]?
Which is why the question gave you the instruction to indicate a point as [a,a].
or (-oo,-1]
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.
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?
@dapper pumice Has your question been resolved?
When the question asks you for the interval, it is asking about the values of x.
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).

7x -10 < 4 + 5x < -6 + 10x
?
this is two inequalities in a trenchcoat
(not my work, this is someone's question)
It's simplification
ye, im kinda stuck on how to do it
this is two inequalities in a trenchcoat
so.. i seperate them and do them one by one?
solve 7x-10<4+5x
solve 4+5x<-6+10x
take intersection of resulting solution sets

I need to find the inital velocity of a projectile with only the time and displacement.
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
<@&286206848099549185>
@little forum Has your question been resolved?
from the picture i’m guessing there’s no vertical displacement?
No
The only values I have are displacement, Time and acceleration in the y-axis
(We use -10 for grav)
Yes, that too
ok
All results are from level ground
well what do you know about how the horizontal component of the velocity changes?
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)
The inital velocity is what i'm trying to find, I have neither horizontal nor vertical.
no i’m asking you to calculate it; these two numbers are enough
I've got Vcos for the x component and -10t+Vsin for the y component
Oh, is it just 23.4 m.s?
yeah that’s the horizontal component
Oh ok, didn't recognise that, that's on me
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!
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
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
v_y = v_y0 + gt
v_y = 0 + -10**2.83/2*
v_y = -14.15
ope nvm you got it
No no you're all good. I see where I went wrong.
Yeah aha
I'm just a little sleepy aha
oh you plugged it in a little wrong
So now I can find the inital velocity! (Using Pythagoras)
Was it the negative result?
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
ohhhhhh I seeeeee
Oh that makes SO much more sense, The negative result really confused me
Thank you so much!
yup no problem!
NOW! We can find the inital velocity!
You're awesome! I was going crazy just waiting, Enjoy your day/night!

Any idea how to solve these sort of questions?
this is a linear equation
try to isolate the x
that's not how yoou divide by p...
Crap...is it because the other p is p^2?
do I need to subtract it?
do I need to expand 2p(jutst checking)
ye (i thought the brackets)
cuz then we have p^2 on both sides
MarveI
try to isolate the p x's
nah
ok
kinda, but doesnt affect what we're doing rn
ok so anyways..
you -px both sides first
aand then -2 both sides
MarveI
after that you just factor the x
MarveI
still following so far?
yeah o.O
now just divide both sides by p^2 - p
MarveI
simplify this
A bit confused there
factor 2 and p
one moment to try to walk myself through it again
MarveI
x = 2/p
(small note: this is where you use p!=0 and p!=1 to make sure you're not dividing by 0)
ok
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
oh
i factorized the numerator and denominator
have you learned factorizing btw
just to make sure
To some extend I do remember most of the part. 3-4 years ago
ok good
Okkayy
so i factored p
I misread it
and get p
np
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
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
np

Honestly not sure about this question and would like some help please
how did you get 36 d..
Uhh pretty sure I subtracted 18 from 54 I don’t think that’s right though
MarveI
Ok
Given the 2 values, you can use the given formula, create two equations, then solve for d and t0
$t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$
That's the given formula, you know $t_4 = 18$ and $t_{16} = 54$
dldh06
Would 54=18+(16-1)d be one of the equations
dldh06
Still no
It means it’s the 4th term in the sequence
Meaning n = 4, correct?
no, we're trying to determine d
And t0
Ohh
So with $t_4 = 18$, how can you plug in those values into $t_n = t_0 + (n-1)d$?
dldh06
18=t0+(4-1)d?
dldh06
54=t0+(16-1)d
18=t0+(4-1)d
54=t0+(16-1)d
You have 2 equations, 2 unknowns, you can find d and t0
Yeah
Can you do that?
Sure, do whatever method you need to, to find d and t0
How would you solve for t0?
Did you find d?
18?
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?
I wait I see what I did wrong d should be 3
t0= 9
dldh06
Then find $t_{10}$
dldh06
t10=9+(10-1)3 ?
Yes
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
Levens
There are some vector spaces axioms you must check, have you tried checking any of them?
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) $(\lambda + \mu) \cdot v = \lambda \cdot v + \mu \cdot v$.\
Levens

reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
so as one of the axioms we have to proof that $(u\oplus v)\oplus w = u\oplus (v\oplus w)$
Denascite
using the definition of \oplus, what does this mean
just substitute the definition of oplus into that equation
@supple epoch Has your question been resolved?
could u send me a link of a formal definition of oplus? im kind of stuck
Levens
and now replace the other three \oplus aswell
wait what how
in the same way
oh
to replace v \oplus w you substituted v and w into the definition of \oplus
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
$(f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))\oplus w = u\oplus (f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$
Levens
$f(f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))) + f^{1}(w)) = u\oplus (f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$
Levens
$f(f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}(v)))) + f^{1}(w)) = f(f^{-1}(u) + f^{-1}((f(f^{-1}(v) + f^{-1}(w)))$
Levens
Like that?
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
how can that be used
it means that $f(f^{-1}(x))=x$
Denascite
and so it simplifies some stuff
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?
no it doesn't cancel that far
oh oksy
$f\left(f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}(v)\right)+f^{-1}(w)\right)=f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}\left(f\left(f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)\right)\right)$
Levens
is it f(u + v) + w = u + v + w
Damn it
Oh yeah
There’s another f^-1 I missed
$f\left(f^{-1}(f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}(v)\right))+f^{-1}(w)\right)=f\left(f^{-1}(u)+ f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)\right)\right)$
Levens
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
Like this?
you can also simplify the LHS one step further
$f\left(f^{-1}(u)+f^{-1}(v)\right)+f^{-1}(w)=f\left(f^{-1}(u)+ f^{-1}(v)+f^{-1}(w)\right)\right)\right)$

After that, I have to do that same with multiplication, right
well not the same but something similar
What’s the axiom I’d use for scalar multplicstipn?
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

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?
Alright, you have an arithmetic sequence
I assume you’re trying to find the sum of all those numbers?
income: f(t)=500-1.36t
for the total accumulated income you want to take the integral
total: F(t)=-0.68t^2+500t
^
my calculation was close, online calculator says 92,155 if i typed it in right
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
interesting how close each different calculation is
wait ima check something
ok i was wrong
dunno where though
$$\sum_{i=0}^{367} (500-1.36i)=92161.9$$
~Martin
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
Why 367?
But it's the amount after 365 days, not 367
why dldh btw?
i always wondered that
oh 365 ok
$$\sum_{i=0}^{365} (500-1.36i)=92158.8$$
~Martin
,w sum from 0 to 365 (500 - 1.36x)
,w 460794/5
ohh that is nice
It might be 0 to 365, key word might
also f(365)=3.6
yall trippin me out with these equations lol
is it possible to do (500*365)-sum_{i = 1}^{365}(1.36i)
$500\cdot 365 - \sum_{i=1}^{365} (1.36i)$
~Martin
yes you can
why 364?
0 is the first number, 1 is the second, etc so 364 is the 365th number
but you have to include 365 no?
If you include 365, then the index number goes to 366
uhm
heh, i just put the thing into a python script, the script says 92158.80, or around that-
that sounds weird
my calculator says
$$\sum_{i=0}^{1}=1$$
~Martin
Because of this
this is tru
$$\sum_{i=0}^{365} (500-1.36i)$$
Vs
$$\sum_{i=1}^{365} (500-1.36i)$$
Is the amount of terms
dldh06
Top one is 366 terms, bottom is 365
ah yes
i get that
but the value is the same
wait it isnt
if you exclude the 500
The only difference for the bottom, is you need to account for the shift
then it is the same

how do i find the derivative of a function that has another function within it shown as such
Chain rule!
You can google it, and it'll give you the formula
h'(x) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
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
the chain rule which gives me f'(-3)*(-3)
u sure
wait
f'(g(x)) g'(x)

and based it off that
i didnt use any steps
Try to work it out step-by-step - that's how math is done
i was plugging it in
to the thing u sent me
;-;
not much steps to do there

Well it's wrong, so try something different

question is to integrate x/x-1
i dont get how the answer has just added 1/x-1 but didn't compensate for it anywhere else
OH WAIT

anyone?
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>
Do you know the formula to use?
ill look again rq
That's not the best one to use
@cerulean tulip
hm idk then
Have you seen, $A = A_0 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}$ before?
dldh06
i think so maybe with diff variables
You mean instead of A, it was something different?
yes
Because t and h are common, t standing for time and h for half life
What is $A_0$?
dldh06
No not needed yet
then i have nothing given to me
Then you didn't read this carefully, it gave you stuff
in the question itself?
Yes
Where is that coming from?
I gave you the formula $$A = A_0 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}$$
dldh06
oh ok, im just nto entirely sure i can use that for this question
but lets try either way
You kinda have to because that's a half life equation, which this problem is about
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
?
whyd u plug in 36 for t
Close, but not quite
shouldnt it be in the denominator

for the first question, how far have you gotten
Tried means you did something, what was that something, aka the work you did
i substituted
i did the rise over run
what did you substitute?
yep
so you can solve for the linear equation
Unnecessary to do
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
No, it's not
There is a much more straightforward method
off topic u got to uoft?
yea
i wanna go there when i graduate
dope
Do you know the slope equation?
scarboraough or downtown
rise over run
gonna be downtown this semester
In terms of x and y
And that equals?
the slope
dldh06
yes
You know m, and some of the coordinates, you have one unknown
Do you think you know what to do now?
And that's why I stated there was a much more straightforward method

isn't this a strictly increasing function?
Yeah it is
So just put increasing for all values then. However at one specific point there is no increase nor decrease
which is the absolute point I'm guessing?
@proven condor yes it is an increasing function
there's no relative max or min
but a plateau at 2, 10
do I call it it abs max or min, or neither?
check at the end points of the given domain interval [0,5]
I already did that
then they are abs max and min.
last thing, how do I find concavity and inflection points?
use second order derivatives and look for conditions for concavity and infection pt
2nd order derivative? so like derivative of the derivative?
right, you should look for it
P''(x)=0, so there is a POI
but how do I describe the concavity? (last question)
@hoary cargo
neither concave in or out?
you can easily find condition for concavity, just google

Stuck on this
What did you try?
Just expand it like any other
Yea expansion doesn’t work like that lol
It does
Rewrite the last part using a sum symbol
Then show what you did. It works
$$(1-r)\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}r^i$$
That is correct

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.
Are you asking for help in proving this fact? Where are you stuck so far?
I stuck at Suppose a ≡ b (mod n). Then, by definition, we have
a − b = nk
Am I doing right?
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?
I don't have any thoughts, sorry
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?
Yes, I think
Please go ahead
just divide by 12?
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?
x=x'?
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.
0? in the second one
Can you elaborate? I don't quite understand what you mean
I mean if we solve second equation it will be 0
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?
Yes
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?
can you please give an answer? if no, I will try to do my best
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.
thank you
Feel free to ask for clarification on any details.
@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||
I'll be just a moment, sorry
||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)||
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?
No problem
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)?
Yeah
If we unroll that, you're claiming that x + x' ≡ y + x' (mod 12), which is true, but I think it needs proof.
Although now I realize that might not be true/easy or prove
I don't think it's super hard actually
You can get it straight from the definition. Give it a shot!
x = y (mod n)
n | x-y
…???…
n | f(x) - f(y)
f(x) = f(y) (mod n)
Hmm
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
Hmm
If it's not clear, (x + x') - (y + x') = f(x) - f(y) :)
Oh I see what you’re saying
I was talking about proving this in the general case though
Like for any f
But I don’t know if that’s possible
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
Not at all
Just make a piecewise that moves x down by 1 and y up by 1
Then they don’t divide each other
Sure, for specific x and y that works yeah
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
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.
Oh yes, that's what I meant too lol
I think you’re right about that tho, it seems too vague to characterize
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?
If you'd like we can talk in #elementary-number-theory about this – we've talked in this help channel for too long haha

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
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)
@spare sphinx Has your question been resolved?
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 ?
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.
🤔 umm
$\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&c\c&b\end{array}\right]=a\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\0&0\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}0&c\c&b\end{array}\right]$
