i have tried this question but not getting the answer

obsidian tinsel

What did u try?

crimson sedge

😕 still not getting the answer

😭

manic acorn
crimson sedge
#

divide by?

manic acorn
#

Divide the polynomial in the numerator by the polynomial in the denominator

crimson sedge
#

by long division method?

manic acorn
#

Yea

#

This would have been so much more epic if the nr and the dr polynomials swapped places

crimson sedge
#

ok i did it

manic acorn
crimson sedge
#

is there any other method?

manic acorn
#

Idk, this seems the most obvious way to me

okay, thank you so much 😄

I have to find the ama of a wheel and axle system AMA=Fe/FL

crimson sedge
#

Is it wheel diameter over axle

#

or opposite

#

wheel diameter=0.118m

#

axle diameter=0.025m

#

so 0.118m/0.025m?

simple yoke
#

sorry for the late response

#

i don't know how to convert it in this form

delicate patio
#

you can subtract and add 1

#

in the numerator

#

and then split whole expression in two parts

simple yoke
#

ooohhh ok

#

now i remember

delicate patio
#

yupp

simple yoke
#

it results in ln(2) * ln(5)?

delicate patio
#

ln2 - ln5

simple yoke
#

yes

delicate patio
#

yeah that would be ln(2/5)

simple yoke
#

so the answer is 2/5

#

yep log2/5

#

sorry

delicate patio
#

no. its ln(2/5)

torpid urchin
#

how would i do question 2 (this is a previous midterm i am not writing it currently)

torpid urchin
#

im not sure how to come up with the two functions for the squeeze theorem

dense kayak
#

probably start with an interval (containing zero)
might have to do this twice since you have an x^3 but maybe you can make a symmetry argument i think both sides of this will be the same
using the zero function for one of the functions should help to start

torpid urchin
#

right i think im going to need to look at the functions cosx^2/x^2 and 1/x^3

#

because the other one is 0

#

would i say something like |cosx^2/x^2| is between 0 and 1?

#

would i do something like this?

#

i dont think this is right

#

i am confused on how to find the interval now because i dont think i can leave out the second function

dense kayak
#

don't partially substitute here

#

keep that entire function

torpid urchin
#

right

dense kayak
#

so you're looking at [0, oo) atm

torpid urchin
#

but can i find an interval for the whole function?

dense kayak
#

you can squeeze on the left with 0

#

now find a function that also has a limit to zero which is always greater than or equal to that big nasty that you started with

torpid urchin
#

so i came up with that value correctly?

dense kayak
#

on the interval you want g <= f <= h
and you have g(x) = 0 which is the easiest choice for g

torpid urchin
#

right

#

but uhh

#

like

#

where did we get g=0 from

dense kayak
#

you have to choose g and h

torpid urchin
#

yeah

#

so how can we tell which to choose?

dense kayak
#

well we want to show the limit of f goes to zero

#

and we know f is always non-negative

torpid urchin
#

right bc absolute value

#

oh

dense kayak
#

so bounding below is easy if we just choose the constant function 0

torpid urchin
#

so i can say 0 rigth

#

ok that one makes sense

dense kayak
#

yaya

torpid urchin
#

now for the other side

#

how do i find something bigger

dense kayak
#

yep! sorry i gtg but maybe someone else can step in!

torpid urchin
#

can i just pick 1?

#

ok

dense kayak
#

i graphed it and 2x works, but maybe there is something more clever?

torpid urchin
#

ok

dense kayak
#

usually you want to pick a simpler version of f that has a clearer limit

#

gl!

torpid urchin
#

ty

#

would a function like this work?

crimson hare
#

this is a bit of a big ask but i was wondering if someone would be able to review my calculations for a psmt !

crimson hare
#

completely understand if not because its a tiring and lengthy process

sleek condor
#

psmt?

crimson hare
#

its leslie matrix - population growth

crimson hare
sleek condor
#

dont ask to ask

#

just ask your question

#

if noone wants to help they wont dw

crimson hare
#

yes i asked my question above c:

sleek condor
#

no but

#

post the maths

#

if you want people to review your work post your work

#

and possibly the assignment

crimson hare
#

oh i see i intercommunicated this, it was like if i could call them or something

#

but i understand ! ill just post a page

sleek condor
#

can you explain exactly what this is about? to me it seems like theres a vector representing population from age class and a matrix that dictaters the evolution

#

rate of growth would be the rate of growth of the sum of the cordinates of the vector?

crimson hare
#

alrighty !

#

my survival and birth rates were provided so i substituted that into my matrix

#

so in order to determine future population values i multipled my initial population by my leslie matrix

sleek condor
#

okay

crimson hare
#

alright so now all that was solved i had to now suggest a recommendation where my population would not exponentially increase

sleek condor
#

oh ok

#

so unless you messed up the numerical values it should be good

crimson hare
#

so with that i multipled my original matrix by the reciprocal of the growth rate

sleek condor
#

and what would that translate in the real world?

crimson hare
#

is this a good way for my population to platau or is there a smarter way, is there also a way i can use desmos to verify my growth rate

sleek condor
#

yeah this is essentially normalizing the matrix

#

depending on how is defined growth rate

crimson hare
#

is there any way i can verify this on technology

sleek condor
#

simple terms?

#

you mean by hand?

crimson hare
#

im saying its awful

sleek condor
#

if you are allowed to do anything you want numerically

#

i would diagonalize this matrix numerically

#

everything will be simpler after that

crimson hare
sleek condor
#

there are algorithms/calculators

#

that give you the diagonalized matrix

#

and the change of basis matrix associated

#

which will make your calculations easier

crimson hare
#

are you by any chance able to send me one

#

yeah with these psmts everything is just left to your interpretation, all you have to do is meet the critea and then easy 20/20

#

also gonna quickly delete those pictures cause if by any chance someone copies

sleek condor
#

lom

#

lol*

#

yeah i dont think for your matrix size anything is useful

#

unless you know some coding

#

to prove your solution works you juste have to compute the growth rate of your new matrix

crimson hare
#

AHHHHHHHHH i hate psmts

#

okay i think im just gonna leave it there then but i really appreciate all your help

#

i think unknowingly (or maybe knowingly) you helped me understand everything in this task a lot more too

#

thank you thank you

i need an equation that outputs 1 if the input is not equal to 0, and 0 if the input is equal to 0

normal remnant
#

can you use a piecewise function?

bitter olive
#

i dont care i just need an equation for it

normal remnant
#

not sure how to do the proper notation through discord unfortunately

#

im also waiting for help haha

#

one sec using an equation editor

bitter olive
#

i need this to program something, so i can use functions like min() sign()

#

etc

normal remnant
#

hm

#

not sure how to make that function for that sort of use

solid juniper
#

f(x) = 1 - 0^|x| 🙃

bitter olive
#

intersting

#

imma test it

normal remnant
#

impressive

solid juniper
#

just make sure whatever is parsing the function knows 0^0 = 1

normal remnant
#

thats a really pretty solution

#

inventive way to think about it

solid juniper
#

haha thanks ^-^

bitter olive
#

and i assume that this is not computationally expensive right

normal remnant
#

shouldn't be, hopefully

bitter olive
#

imma use it then, thank you @solid juniper

Oceanographers define layers of the ocean by patterns in the density. There are three layers to the Labrador Sea - the mixed layer (near the surface), pycnocline layer (below the mixed layer), and the deep layer (below the pycnocline layer).
The derivative dρ/dz is nearly zero (or small) in the mixed layer and also in the deep layer. Use your derivative graph to find the boundaries between the layers (approximate answers are enough). Draw horizontal dotted lines on Romina’s density plot at the approximate locations of the two boundaries. Then write a sentence or two describing the derivative dρ/dz in the pycnocline layer, and how the density changes in each of the three layers.

hard tree

for (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2, do we include the signs of a and b ?

opal basin
#

that doesn't matter, because (-x)^2 = x^2

lethal jackal
#

certainly, (b-a)^2 = (a-b)^2

#

but it is definitely not true that (a-b)^2 = (a+b)^2, i.e. you can't just randomly negate a and b

nova ruin
#

helllo everyone can someone help me or guide me on how to solve this or suggest any youtube video thatll guide me in solving please , its really difficult for me

valid yacht
#

hmmmmmmm

#

(1) find derivative of the curve
(2) calculate derivative (/slope) at (-1,3) by substituting x=-1 & y=3
(3) then find the equation

#

something like that

nova ruin
south tundra
#

Rephrasing the question: Find a and b such that y = ax + b passed through (-1, 3) and the system of equations y = ax + b, x^2 + 4y^2 - 4x - 8y + 3 = 0 has only one solution

#

So b = a + 3
y = ax + a + 3
Plug this into the equation of the circle

#

You'll get a quadratic equation in x where you need the discriminant to be 0 so that there is only one intersection

#

And solve for a (which will have 2 solutions) and then b

tropic oxide

$\odot$ has no established meaning but from this it appears that it refers to a relation

wraith daggerBOT
tropic oxide
#

it appears you are asked to translate these logical statements into properties of \odot that have English names

#

such as it being reflexive, symmetric, transitive, that kind of thing

#

hello

#

...

#

wait can you share the entire question again

#

with the answer options and all instructions

#

...oh, so the images are not displaying properly

#

okay so what's the question tho

#

you've shown instructions & some sentences written in logical symbols

#

ah.

#

so you need to tell which of these sentences mean "odot is irreflexive"

#

it's the only one that is the definition of transitivity lol

#

all the others talk about properties that are not transitivity and do not imply nor are implied by it

#

you misunderstand

#

this is basically just a vocabulary test

#

you need to know the meaning of the math-english words "reflexive", "symmetric", "transitive", etc. and you need to match each word to its definition(s)

#

no, but you can look up each individual term on various resources such as Wikipedia

#

or maybe your textbook has an alphabetical index of these

#

for most of these yes
except that 4 and 5 are the same thing (as explicitly explained) so they go together

#

"there exists an x such that x odot x" vs "x odot x is true for ALL x"...

#

there is a very clear difference between "for all" and "exists"

#

"someone in this house wears a red shirt" vs. "everyone in this house wears a red shirt"...

#

what's a "direct inversion"?

#

no

#

4 and 5 are literally the same thing. they are not negatives of each other, they are ONE AND THE FUCKING SAME.

#

$x \not\odot y$ means the same thing as $\neg (x \odot y)$...

#

Given the distribution of a random variable at different discrete points in time, what can you infer about the stochastic process itself without making any further assumptions? I don't think you have enough information to get the joint distribution of the variable at different points in time but maybe you can get some bounds on autocorrelation for example?

lethal jackal
#

literally X_1 could be totally different from X_2 or could be the same

#

You have things like E[XY] <= E[X]E[Y], but all of these have to apply to any two random variables

From A' ∩ B = ∅ follows B ⊂ A
so i have to show this for the first part i have already written down {x: x is not element of A and x is element of B} or would it just be written down as {} since it is empty?

woven bison
#

and for be b is subset of a i would have written down x is element of b and a

hybrid glade
#

It should be look like this

woven bison
#

yea i drew that for B ⊂ A

#

for that (A' ∩ B = ∅) i have:

@woven bison Has your question been resolved?

grim flower
woven bison
#

i think i forgot to write down the symbol for empty set behind the first part woops

grim flower
#

Yes 🙂

#

But other than that you're on the right track.

#

So given that this correct do you have further questions?

woven bison
#

technically yes but for something else:

grim flower
#

Then just ask

woven bison
#

so this the diagram for a ⊃ b but what would it look like for a' ⊃ b' would there just be a or nothing?

grim flower
#

a' meaning not a?

#

Would look the same but for B' and A'

#

Makes sense?

woven bison
#

i think so , so like B'∩A' and a' ⊃ b' are the same?

grim flower
#

For $B' \cap A' = \emptyset$ yes

wraith daggerBOT
grim flower
#

No

#

Would you be fine if we switch this to German?

woven bison
#

sure :)

grim flower
#

Ok es ist nicht ganz das selbe wie deine Aussage oben. Wenn du B' und A' gleich leere menge hast dann folgt daraus nicht das B' eine Teilmenge von A' ist. Sondern, wie bei deiner aussage oben das B' eine Teilmenge von (A')'.

#

Ansonsten ist das richtig so.

grim flower
woven bison
#

vielleicht bin ich nur grad verwirrt oder hätte es anmerken sollen a' ⊃ b', das gehört nicht zur oberen aussage - ist was seperates, um genau zu sein ist es komplett "A ⊂ B genau dann, wenn a' ⊃ b' "...

grim flower
#

Ah OK ja das macht sinn 🙂

#

Trotzdem kannst du aus b' teilmenge von a' nicht folgern das a' geschnitten b' die leere menge ist.

#

Das ist nämlich falsch.

woven bison
#

okay :)

crimson sedge
#

Need help with this final question

cedar kilnBOT
crimson sedge
#

can i haver the first few steps and i can attempt to finish it off

floral forge
#

divide by 2 pi d and square both sides, also close your other channel

crimson sedge
#

ok one sec

#

when i divide by 2 pi d wat does the right side turn into

#

@floral forge

floral forge
#

show me what you think it becomes

crimson sedge
#

square root h squared plus d squared

#

is that right? @floral forge

floral forge
#

which one of these?

#

cant tell by the way u worded it

crimson sedge
#

the top one

#

but dont they mean the same thing?

floral forge
#

yeah thats right

#

nope they are not the same

crimson sedge
#

oh ok

#

after im left with that what do i do?

floral forge
#

step 2

crimson sedge
#

when i square it will i have h squared + d squared on the right side

floral forge
#

correct

#

what do you think you should do next?

crimson sedge
#

then i take away d suared and square root evrything

floral forge
#

yep, dont forget the plus minus sign when taking the square root

crimson sedge
#

ok thanks

floral forge
#

np

crimson sedge
#

do i close this now? @floral forge

floral forge
#

yes, unless you have any more questions

crimson sedge
#

can i show u my final answer?

floral forge
#

go ahead

crimson sedge
#

is it the square root of s squared/4 pi squared d squared - d squared = h

#

@floral forge

floral forge
#

yeah sounds about right

crimson sedge
#

ok thanks have a good day

#

yh

elder elm
#

Okay so for this problem, the answer would be that the function is continuous over the interval [0,1]?

south tundra
#

Not only that

elder elm
elder elm
south tundra
#

You have to show that it's negative somewhere and positive somewhere else

#

On that interval

#

In order to apply ivt theorem

#

Oh wait you've shown that already

#

Yeah that's it then

elder elm
south tundra
#

In this case that works yeah

#

But it doesn't work in all of the cases so keep it in mind

#

Here mentioning that f is continuous and that f(0) > 0, f(1) < 0 is enough

#

So yeah that's it

elder elm
#

Like another problem I’ve been tryna find some

south tundra
#

For example if I gave you the function f(x) = x^2 - 1 and the interval [-2, 2]

#

As you can see f(-2) = f(2) > 0 in this case

#

So instead of plugging -2 and 2, you have to present a value of x between -2 and 2 for which f(x) < 0

#

In this case x = 0 works for example

#

f(0) < 0 and f(2) > 0

#

So there's a zero between 0 and 2

#

(and, yes, there's another zero between -2 and 0 coming from an analogous argument)

elder elm
south tundra
#

"Show that f(x) = x^2 - 1 has a zero on the interval [-2, 2]"

latent rover
#

Also $f(x)=\frac{1}{x-0.5}$ wouldn't work for [0,1] but for a different reason

south tundra
#

Yeah, cuz of discontinuity

latent rover
#

,ping

#

💀

elder elm
south tundra
#

Yes, for which f(x) < 0

elder elm
south tundra
#

What's g?

elder elm
#

I might be getting functions denotations confused with a value

south tundra
#

If you mean in this case f(0) < 0 < f(2) then yeah

#

You just need to find one value of x for which f is negative and some other value of x for which f is positive

elder elm
#

As in value 1

south tundra
#

Well f(1) = 0

south tundra
#

You just found the zero itself

#

It's x = 1

elder elm
elder elm
#

It’s 0?

south tundra
#

f(x) = x^2 - 1 has a zero on the interval [-2, 2] because f(x) is continuous on [-2, 2] and f(0) < 0 < f(2)

south tundra
#

No, it's not asking you to find the zero

#

It's asking you to prove that it exists (preferably using the ivt theorem)

#

Or, sure, you could have just shown that f(1) = 0

#

But I showed this question for the sake of applying the ivt theorem

elder elm
south tundra
#

No, the only computation is behind f(0) < 0 and f(2) > 0

unkempt cargo
#

can someone help? its a surprise question i lit forgot these 😭

crimson sedge
#

Hiii

violet rapids
#

draw a picture

crimson sedge
#

Welcome back

unkempt cargo
#

hiiii

strange fulcrum
#

hi celineeee

unkempt cargo
#

sorry loll ive got a geometry final in a frw days

crimson sedge
#

Anyways, try and draw a square first

unkempt cargo
#

okok

#

square drawn

crimson sedge
#

Okay now draw another rectangle next to it

unkempt cargo
#

rectangle drawn

crimson sedge
#

Okay so now go back to the square and label each side as 'a'

#

Because all the sides of the square are equal

unkempt cargo
#

donw

#

done*

crimson sedge
#

Okay now that's where u r gonna come in and start thinking

#

So now, you take half of that square and fold it in half to become the rectangle you got on the right

#

What do u think the sides of this rectangle are going to be, in terms of a?

unkempt cargo
#

equal to each other?

crimson sedge
#

Almost!

#

Compare ur rectangle with ur square

#

And check the sides to each

unkempt cargo
#

hmmmm

crimson sedge
#

Like, what do u notice?

unkempt cargo
#

theyre right?

crimson sedge
#

Hmm okay here is a hint

#

Compare the top and bottom sides of the rectangle and square

#

Actually can u show me the two shapes u drew? I wanna see if u drew them right

unkempt cargo
#

okayy

crimson sedge
#

In case u r confused because of that

unkempt cargo
#

whiteboard 💪

#

did i do it right

crimson sedge
#

Ah! That's where u made ur mistake

toxic moat
crimson sedge
#

That's why u have gotten confused haha

#

Sad indeed

unkempt cargo
#

very much sad

crimson sedge
#

Actually, can u get a tissue paper yourself and fold it in half? @unkempt cargo

toxic moat
#

u unfortunately

crimson sedge
#

Nothing better than a visual

toxic moat
#

drew the square

unkempt cargo
#

ive got one right next to me

crimson sedge
#

Yeah do it

toxic moat
unkempt cargo
#

okok folded

#

im js so bad at these like i hate the shapes

toxic moat
#

another tissue wasted

crimson sedge
#

Okay draw the full tissue and the folded thing

toxic moat
#

another planet destroyed

unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

good job lieutenant

crimson sedge
unkempt cargo
#

okok done

crimson sedge
#

Can u show me ur new shapes

unkempt cargo
#

boom

toxic moat
unkempt cargo
unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

what r the lengths

unkempt cargo
#

my geometry final is so close 💔

crimson sedge
unkempt cargo
unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

lol

crimson sedge
#

Okaaayy fineee

#

Just draw a full square okay

#

And like

#

Imagine u cut it in half in the middle, that's ur rectangle

unkempt cargo
#

okok drawn

crimson sedge
#

Show

unkempt cargo
#

i think my rectangle is very long

#

or my square is very tiny

crimson sedge
#

Yeah like, it needs to be the same length width wise

toxic moat
#

lemme just

#

draw with my amazing art skills

crimson sedge
#

Because if u take a square paper tissue and fold it in half, it's gonna be the same widh

unkempt cargo
crimson sedge
#

And yeah just show us circle lmao

toxic moat
#

hi

unkempt cargo
#

my drawing shapes skills are so bad 😭

toxic moat
#

there

#

i even fit u in

#

💕

unkempt cargo
crimson sedge
#

I defined the full square's side as a so let's keep it as that

unkempt cargo
#

okk

toxic moat
#

wow

toxic moat
#

its weird numbers

#

i meannn

crimson sedge
#

Ehh it's fine let me just draw them seperately so it can be better visualised

unkempt cargo
#

okays

toxic moat
#

wot

#

ok

#

bye artist

#

come back later

#

so celine

unkempt cargo
#

apple pie

toxic moat
#

now that ive stolen u as a student

toxic moat
unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

so

#

u get how this

#

cage u r in

#

is a rect u get after u fold it in half

#

yea?

unkempt cargo
#

let me out 🙏

#

yas

toxic moat
#

ok so

#

whats the perimeter of it

#

in terms of a

unkempt cargo
#

15

crimson sedge
toxic moat
#

no

#

i mean in terms of a

unkempt cargo
#

oh

toxic moat
#

ignore lex

crimson sedge
#

This is basically what is being talked about

toxic moat
#

lol

crimson sedge
#

Woww

unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

they have a weird diagram

unkempt cargo
#

I DREW A VERTICAL RECTANGLE

toxic moat
#

no it

#

makes no diff lol

#

its just

unkempt cargo
#

popcorn

toxic moat
#

do u want more headroom in ur cage

#

or more space to roll around about

#

but its still a half rectangle

#

so it works

unkempt cargo
#

me personally i would choose more space

crimson sedge
toxic moat
#

ur

#

variable names

#

is diff

#

n idl that

#

back to this

#

whats the red bit perimeter in terms of a

unkempt cargo
#

hmm

#

a x a

toxic moat
#

no

#

perimeters is all lengths added tgt

unkempt cargo
#

i forgot these last time i took them i was in 6th

unkempt cargo
toxic moat
#

wot

#

anw

#

um so do uk how to write perimeter in terms of a

unkempt cargo
#

yas

#

a+a+a+a

#

or

#

a^4

toxic moat
#

lol

#

thats

unkempt cargo
#

IS IT WRONG

toxic moat
#

sus

#

so like

#

yes

#

its wrong

#

notice 1 length is 2a

unkempt cargo
#

DAMN 😄

toxic moat
unkempt cargo
#

wait so

#

2a^4

toxic moat
#

ok

unkempt cargo
#

i feel like an idiot im so sorrg

toxic moat
#

just use + for now

unkempt cargo
#

okok

#

2+2+2+2

#

8

toxic moat
#

um

#

sry um

#

1 length is 2a

#

the other is a

#

so um

unkempt cargo
#

OH

toxic moat
#

yea

unkempt cargo
#

so 2a^4

toxic moat
#

no

#

imma just say

#

its

#

a + 2a + a + 2a

#

= 6a

#

idk why u used ^ as well

#

^ means exponential

#

like

unkempt cargo
#

i js made everything complicated

toxic moat
#

$a^b$

unkempt cargo
#

like exponents

toxic moat
#

$2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2$

#

so like

#

its completely different

unkempt cargo
#

yes

toxic moat
#

u want multiplication here

toxic moat
#

this = 15

#

so solve for a

unkempt cargo
#

uhhhhh

toxic moat
#

and find (2a)*(2a)

#

those r the original lengths of the tablecloths multiplied together

unkempt cargo
#

right

#

so

toxic moat
#

perimeter of red cage = 6a = 15

unkempt cargo
#

one sec

toxic moat
#

solve for a

unkempt cargo
#

2.5

#

OMG AO

#

2 x 2.5

toxic moat
#

find area of square = 2a * (2a) = ?

unkempt cargo
#

2x 2.5

#

thwn 25

toxic moat
#

yes

unkempt cargo
#

THANK UUU 😊

earnest kettle
#

can someone please explain factoring it in the last step and why

earnest kettle
crimson sedge
#

They just divided the expression by x^4 and pulled it out, more or less

#

As to why, you don't have to do it, but it would be useful for finding possible 0's and it looks nicer ig

earnest kettle
#

But they moved 5

#

next to cosx

#

and took away

#

x^5

#

and reduced it to just x

#

how

#

and why

solid juniper
#

it might be helpful to multiply out the thing at the very bottom by distributing the x^4 to each of the terms in the parentheses

#

to see how it’s equal to the thing above it

earnest kettle
#

okie

#

also

#

could you please explain

#

I got the derivative part

#

But I don’t understand how they got to the next part

#

as in how they got the answer after deriving using the product rule

solid juniper
#

so like the simplify part?

earnest kettle
#

oui oui

solid juniper
#

one thing they used is cos*tan = cos*(sin/cos) = sin

#

so that’s how you get to sin(x) + sec^2(x)sin(x)

#

then factoring out the sin(x) completes it

earnest kettle
#

ohh

#

okie

#

i get it now

#

thank you so much 💖💖

solid juniper
#

yay 🙂

earnest kettle
#

what rule am I supposed to be applying with this

#

why do they only find the derivative of the 1st and last

#

but keep the 5csc in the middle?

#

oh

#

nvm

Question and What I have tried. Relating to proofs and relations

#

I am unsure if I did the proof for symmetric and transitive correctly

crystal raptor
#

What is n?

winter lion
#

i don't believe I need that i tried following an example but it doesn't make much sense for there to be n

crystal raptor
#

Yeah you don't need the n

#

Everything looks good without it

winter lion
#

what about where a+b is an element of ℚ

#

would it be Q or N

#

I mean Q or Z

crystal raptor
#

Z is a subset of Q

#

So if something is in Z it is in Q

sick summit
#

can someone help

cedar kilnBOT
winter lion
#

if you notice first your answer is not a degree 4 and rather a degree 5

livid hound
#

you have both x and (x-0)

winter lion
#

i am unsure why you have a 0.4 too

#

if this helps:
multiplicity 2 at x = 4 is (x-4)^2
multiplicity 1 at x = 0 is (x-0) = x
multiplicity 1 at x = -3 is (x+3)

#

now that you can assemble the 4 degree polynomial you need to account that it goes through points (5, 24)

can someone give me a hint as to how to start this question?

What does it mean to identify a function represented by the Power Series?

#

My professor didn't provide an example problem of this

solid juniper
#

it probably means write it in a form that doesn't have an infinite sum

cosmic steppe
#

Alright

#

Let's start with that

#

Make it so it's just one base to the power of k

#

I can provide an example

solid juniper
#

n or k?

cosmic steppe
#

Example:
$$\text{}$
$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\left(\frac{x}{7}\right)^n = \frac{1}{1-\frac{x}{7}}, |x| < 7$

#

Or something like that

#

I forgot the radius of convergence for that

solid juniper
#

7?

cosmic steppe
#

For 1/(1-x/7))?

#

Oh shit

solid juniper
#

i meant was that supposed to be 7 or 2 lol

cosmic steppe
#

No that was an example

solid juniper
#

oh ok

I dont understand how to do logical reasoning, I understand how to read it but not complete the truth tables

zenith zealot
#

¬ is what this website uses for not

@zenith zealot Has your question been resolved?

zenith zealot
#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

<@&268886789983436800> how do i get help for this?

dense kayak
#

pinging helpers is enough, sorry no one's come yet
pinging moderators isn't appropriate in this instance

#

@zenith zealot what is your question exactly?

#

you want help constructing the truth tables?

zenith zealot
#

yeah

dense kayak
#

so you'll want to start with columns for however many arguments are needed, two for p and q in this case

#

starting with prob 1

#

then you want all possible inputs for those, and they've listed those out for you already

#

the following columns are supposed to show the work for later statements

#
| p | q |
|---+---|
| T | T |
| T | F |
| F | T |
| F | F |
#

we want to know the value of the negation of q so let's show that work in a column

#
| p | q | ~q |
|---+---+----|
| T | T | F  |
| T | F | T  |
| F | T | F  |
| F | F | T  |
#

so far so good?

zenith zealot
#

yeah

#

~q just being the opposite as q correct?

dense kayak
#

so we also want a column for p <-> ~q, and we should use the columns for p and ~q to help us calculate that

#

yes sorry i'm using ~ for logical negation

zenith zealot
#

okay

dense kayak
#

you can compute negation ezpz, but the biconditional is okay?

#

they just have to match

#
| p | q | ~q | p <-> ~q |
|---+---+----+----------|
| T | T | F  | F        |
| T | F | T  | T        |
| F | T | F  | T        |
| F | F | T  | F        |
zenith zealot
#

yes this makes sense

dense kayak
#

great then just one more column for p ^ q

#
| p | q | ~q | p <-> ~q | p ^ q |
|---+---+----+----------+-------|
| T | T | F  | F        | T     |
| T | F | T  | T        | F     |
| F | T | F  | T        | F     |
| F | F | T  | F        | F     |
zenith zealot
#

okay

dense kayak
#

do you know how to determine if an argument is valid or invalid?

#

the truth table work is done

zenith zealot
#

like

zenith zealot
#

i sorta understand it but get confused

dense kayak
#

there's another step we can do in the table to make it more clear that i used to like to use when i started with these

#

the gist is that a valid argument is a logical implication that doesn't fail

zenith zealot
#

so basically it forces a conclusion

#

?

dense kayak
#

essentially any time we start with true premises, we want to form a true conclusion

zenith zealot
#

okay

dense kayak
#

so looking at the table, whichever row(s) has both premises ~q and p <-> ~q with true values, we should expect to see our conclusion p ^ q with a true value

zenith zealot
#

row 2

#

wait

dense kayak
#

yaya

#

that's right

zenith zealot
#

did you mean ~q?

dense kayak
#

oh yes

zenith zealot
#

okay yeah then row 2

dense kayak
#

but we see the conclusion has a false value

#

so the argument is invalid

zenith zealot
#

so that shows that row 2 is valid?

#

invalid*

#

i see

dense kayak
#

so that's sort of the counter-example

zenith zealot
#

okay

dense kayak
#

"you've said this argument but even if everything you start from is true then we have a false conclusion"

#

aka invalid argument 🙂

zenith zealot
#

okay that makes sense

dense kayak
#

great!

#

definitely not something to do in your head

zenith zealot
#

okay gotcha

dense kayak
#

unless you're a spreadsheet genius haha

zenith zealot
#

i guess so

dense kayak
#

you ok for the second one?

zenith zealot
#

can i ask what software you use to make your truth tables?

dense kayak
#

sure

zenith zealot
#

or just some online tool?

dense kayak
#

i was using the tables with org-mode

#

i edit text with emacs, and theres a really nice package for note-taking (organizing) that happens to include table stuff

zenith zealot
#

okay cool im going to have to check that out later bc rn im using pen and paper and its annoying

zenith zealot
dense kayak
#

alright so same deal

#

starting with two arguments r and s

zenith zealot
#

im repasting this

dense kayak
#

tyty

zenith zealot
#

for ease of access

dense kayak
#

yea that def helps haha

#

so are you okay with double negation?

#

we can show every little step, but sometimes you can do some in your head

#

i'll more detail by default

zenith zealot
#

double negation meaning ~(~r) is just r

dense kayak
#

exactly

#
| r | s | ~r | ~(~r) |
|---+---+----+-------|
| T | T | F  | T     |
| T | F | F  | T     |
| F | T | T  | F     |
| F | F | T  | F     |
#

first and fourth columns are identical

zenith zealot
#

and ~(~r ^ s) is r ^ ~ s yeah im good with that

dense kayak
#

we use ~r later on, so i'll keep the column around

zenith zealot
#

okayt

dense kayak
#

next column i'll do ~r ^ s

dense kayak
#

but there's "demorgans" laws

#

negation distributes but the disjunctions and conjunctions will swap

zenith zealot
#

ohh yeah

#

so its v not ^

dense kayak
#

yayaya

zenith zealot
#

gotcha

dense kayak
#

i'll keep going without that simplification, but that's exactly what i mean by kinda doing some in your head

zenith zealot
#

okay

zenith zealot
dense kayak
#
| r | s | ~r | ~(~r) | ~r ^ s |
|---+---+----+-------+--------|
| T | T | F  | T     | F      |
| T | F | F  | T     | F      |
| F | T | T  | F     | T      |
| F | F | T  | F     | F      |
#

nice yep!

#

then we negate that

#
| r | s | ~r | ~(~r) | ~r ^ s | ~(~r ^ s) |
|---+---+----+-------+--------+-----------|
| T | T | F  | T     | F      | T         |
| T | F | F  | T     | F      | T         |
| F | T | T  | F     | T      | F         |
| F | F | T  | F     | F      | T         |
#

oof i think three more columns and we're done haha

zenith zealot
#

im confused why you did the column ~r ^ s

#

so you could negate it easier?

dense kayak
#

yeah, it's all up to you how much you want to do in your head

zenith zealot
#

okay gotcha

dense kayak
#

reading from two columns and taking the conjunction is the simplest step

#
| r | s | ~r | ~(~r) | ~r ^ s | ~(~r ^ s) | ~s | ~s v r | ~(~s v r) |
|---+---+----+-------+--------+-----------+----+--------+-----------|
| T | T | F  | T     | F      | T         |    |        |           |
| T | F | F  | T     | F      | T         |    |        |           |
| F | T | T  | F     | T      | F         |    |        |           |
| F | F | T  | F     | F      | T         |    |        |           |
#

i haven't filled that in

#

but we can take a shortcut if you want and use demorgan on that last column
