$$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
studying lang calculus
How can I simplify this?
There's some law I'm misunderstanding
Law of absorbation?
Distribution
Use $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ Then you can do $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
dldh06
$$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
Distribute, plug back in A and use other identities
studying lang calculus
$$(A \lor \neg P) \land (A \lor Q)$$
studying lang calculus
Associative law
A and (B or C) = (A and B) or C
Associative law
We don't have 3 here
$$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
Is three
dldh06
Then there was no need to distribute A or (notP and Q)
You needed distribution first
To get this $$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
dldh06
you never wouldve gotten that expression had you not distributed first
But then you can apply associative law
How? $$A \land (\neg P \land Q) = (A \land \neg P) \land Q$$
studying lang calculus
Notice that $\neg P\land Q\implies\neg P\lor Q$
ralvrz

Use $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ Then you can do $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
Distribute, plug back in A and use other identities
dldh06
oh god that green
my eyes
$$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$
Is suppose to help make distribution easier
But we're doing distributing we have $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q) = (A \lor \neg P) \land Q$$
plug back in A
studying lang calculus
That is not how distribution works
I don't see how distributing simplifies the formula 🤔
$$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P \land Q$$
You did it right here
studying lang calculus
the RHS of this is A plugged back in
$$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q) = A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$

This is what you get when you distribute
studying lang calculus
When you do $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ and distribute $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
You get $$(A \lor \neg P) \land (A \lor Q)$$
dldh06
Plug back in A
But we did that we've gone full circle @obsidian coral
If you did properly, you have $$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
we havent gone full circle we just havent made any progress
dldh06
Use associative law
- commutative
we have not yet used associative law
Then your work is making no sense because you are jumping around
When was associative law used?
As I said, idk how distributing simplifies it
Is suppose to help make distribution easier
this is literally step 2
Use associative law and commutative
but you're saying it's step 8

This was the original question $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
dldh06
I was saying to do $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ and distribute $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
You get $$(A \lor \neg P) \land (A \lor Q)$$
dldh06
So after you distribute you get
Now apply associative law and commutative
Step 1 $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
Step 2 $$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
studying lang calculus
Because distributing $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$ is a bit more difficult than $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
You're overcomplicating it, your original formula is logically equivalent to $\neg P\lor Q$
Don't give out answers
Step three is apply associative law and commutative
But for some reason you decided: Step 1 $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
Step 2 $$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
Step 3 $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
Step 4 $$(A \lor \neg P) \land (A \lor Q)$$
Step 5 $$((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$$
studying lang calculus

no they are not
Nope, the logical equivalence follow from that implication
which ... you need to prove
Yes they are? Why did he end up with step 2 a second time?
If you reread you never provided step two, I was starting from $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$ and then after I stated, use $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ Then you can do $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$, you then provided your step two
dldh06
I didn't provide step 2? #help-13 message @obsidian coral
You shoved in your step 2 after I stated what to do from the original problem
Conjunction elimination and disjunction introduction, qed
You shoved in your step 2 after I stated what to do from the original problem
Yeah which was to replace one term with A
I was starting from the original problem and working step by step, then you shoved in your step 2
It's useless if we're going to plug back it in anyway
they are equivalent in some sense but you need to prove that
Here steps 1 and 2 are redundant
.
How is it redundant we're applying distribution
If you can easily distribute $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$ go for it
??????????
dldh06
But I like distributing $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$
dldh06
That doesn't make it less redundant
distributing a massive parenthetical vs distributing a single symbol
It makes it easier to deal with
"massive"
3 letters vs 1
comparatively
Still makes it much simpler to deal with
2 extra steps or 2 extra letters and 2 less steps
we arrive to the same answer
And elimination, and Or introduction then
I clearly didn't mind not exchanging the term for A so maybe just go with that instead of forcing your convention idk
propositional logic ....
I'm just saying if I was given $$(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$, I would then do $$A = (\neg P \lor Q)$$ , and then do distribution with $$A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$$ because it's easier to deal with A rather than $$(\neg P \lor Q)$$
dldh06
Yeah for YOU
To me it doesn't matter
I'm sorry It hough this was #help-13 and not #help-13 | dldh06
And I was helping you

💀
In mathematics and mathematical logic, Boolean algebra is the branch of algebra in which the values of the variables are the truth values true and false, usually denoted 1 and 0, respectively. Instead of elementary algebra, where the values of the variables are numbers and the prime operations are addition and multiplication, the main operations...
the correspondence between boolean algebra and propositional logic needs to be proven ...
I'll just skip this exercise no one can explain I guess
Through a method that has the same exact process, so what I have extra steps, the end goal is still the same
you cant just go from one set of axioms to the other without proof
@mild oyster I can give you an alternative
My process just has two extra steps because it's sometimes easier to use substitution
for you sure, but it doesn't help me
ill ask another channel
just continue the calculation from the distributed from bruh

<@&268886789983436800>
he's not letting me make a new channel
Are you?
Let me reiterate, the original problem is $(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$, I stated use $A = (\neg P \lor Q)$ to assist with distribution, because in my opinion it is easier to distribute $A \lor (\neg P \land Q)$ than $(\neg P \lor Q) \lor (\neg P \land Q)$. If distribute, you get $(A \lor \neg P) \land (A \lor Q)$, plugging back in A, you end up with $((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$, the exact same place you are in. I took two extra steps because it helps with the distribution, if you are not good at it
dldh06
The end goal is still the same
If you are at the step with $((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$
Use associative law and commutative and idempotence

you are in the wrong here lol
but w/e if you don't want help you that's not my problem
but stop opening new channels then 
I want help, just not from him and in this cluttered abomination @slim hearth
multiple people have now tried to help you and you have acted antagonistically to them
genuinely dont see why you care this much about whether they use a substitution in their explanation or not
but youre being an asshole
couldn't read what they said cause of all his text
as I said too much clutter
better enter new channel imo
how does it make a difference
3 people latexing and writing isn't easy to follow
just post your "current" question, i.e. simplifying the form you currently have (whether you did it through the suggested subsittution or not is irrelevant)
opening a new channel removes context while contributing nothing
(and clutters the channel list)
(and makes it harder for helpers to keep track of what theyre working on)
At this point I don't need to write context I've gotten so confused from his jabbering I am better of reiterating the question
you have the form $((\neg P \lor Q) \lor \neg P) \land ((\neg P \lor Q) \lor Q)$, right?
Namington
so your question should be "how do i simplify this"
Yeah
Also, isn't this channel closed so it might disappear in a few minutes, right?
ping mods to get help 
XD I was trying to close this, not complaining tho
.reopen
✅
im not trying to offer help, just saying that you dont need to open a new channel
(though before that, maybe take a hard look at the form you have and see if you notice anything)
we'd just be arguing if that happened but ok

Why doesn’t this have a solution
Can’t you plug the first solution into the second one
And do 1 = 3x - (3x +6)
So 1=-6
y=3x+6, y=3x-1
How
Ah I see
Nvm
I don’t distribute the 3x only the negative
?
the 2nd equation can be written as y=3x-1
so the two equations are
y=3x+6 and y=3x-1
yes!

How did the teacher get 1/2 as k
If theres a negative sign here
Why would u get rid of the negative sign I dont get it
Idk what that means but yes
my guess would be that 2^(-1/2)=1/(2^(1/2))

yeah so most likely no solutions unless theres a mistake
I reccomend graphing it
ill do that for you
no, it means something else
you might want to check a few x values and see what happens
ah yes sorry
i didnt mean no solutions
since the result is true
0x = 0
or 0 = 0
that means the equations will always be true reguardless of x and y values
or in other words
they are the same equation just rearanged
solution is that it is true for all values of x
??
IV what is wrong with it
try x=0, y=0
they are the same line though, I graphed it
I see what you mean, how do you phrase it
A better way to put it is, there are an infinite number of solutions.
The answer you would write is, the two equations are functions of the same line, therefore there are infinitely many solutions.
Yeah that should be good enough
on the working out sheet you would have to show
yep thats right 🙂
you only drew one line though
yeah perfect
thats correct
yep, if your plan is to then add both equations.
that would be a great example of the elimination method
mhm
then yes

Hello, I am very confused.
hi what are you confused about?
I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong but basically, I can do the basic parts of setting up the equation
like plugging in & mulitpling B by 5
okay good
yep so far so good!
okay so the good news is that we know that A has an inverse
since det(A) is not equal to 0
well be careful the det(A) = 2
Oh
but to find the inverse we'll need the recipricol of that, 1/2 so you were almost there 🙂
okay so then for a 2x2 matrix, this is how you find the inverse of A
so you swap a and d and you negate c and b
so we know that $det(A) = 2$, so then $\frac{1}{det(A)} = \frac{1}{2}$, so then $A^{-1} = \frac{1}{2} \begin{bmatrix}
2 & 4 \
0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}$
MellowDramaLlama
This scared me cause I didn’t understand lol
Ok cool perfect
so now we need to multiply both sides by A^-1 on the left side
I am very bad at multiplying
no worries
so we get $AX + 5B = C \implies A^{-1}AX = A^{-1}(C - 5B) \implies X = A^{-1}(C - 5B)$
MellowDramaLlama
So we already know C - 5B
Yes
Yes
so then we just do $X = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 \
0 & \frac{1}{2}
\end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix}
-1 & 30 \
-2 & -21
\end{bmatrix}$
MellowDramaLlama
either or
Or distribute ?
it doesn't matter 🙂
I would say which ever is easiest
so I'll base it off of yours here
then we get $ \frac{1}{2} \cdot \begin{bmatrix}
2(-1) + 4(-2) & 2(30) + 4(-21) \
0(-1) + 1(-2) & 0(30) + (1)(-21)
\end{bmatrix}$
MellowDramaLlama
then just simplify and distribute 🙂
woah Ok cute
yep!
linear algebra is your transition into adulthood
yeah of course! Best of luck to you 🙂

Can someone help me with this please?
for the vertical asymptote imagine a vertical line that the graph doesnt touch
that vertical like would be at x=0
same thing for horizontal asymptot
asymptote
the graph approaches y=1 on either side
0,-1?
if this was coordinates then yeah thats one of them
The only answer I can think of is 0
i sent a picture with dotted lines
the two vertical asymptots at at x= -1 and x=3
and the horizontal asymtote is at y=0
I put them as answers. One of them is not correct
which one>
do you have a clue as to what the function is
Wait, I see it now. The 0 is incorrect.
I got it. Turns out the horizontal asymptote was -1

Create a finite state machine with binary input and output that outputs 1s when the input symbol it reads is equal to the previous input symbol, and 0s otherwise.
For example, the input string 0001100 should output the following: 0110101
How am i supposed to do this ?
the machine only needs to keep track of what its last-read symbol is
construct states to reflect this
so the last last-read symbol here would be the inpout string ?
no, you're overthinking it.
@clever lark Has your question been resolved?
You're taking one digit of the input string, and reading it, then another, then another
If the current digit you're reading matches the one from the previous step, add "1" to the output string, otherwise add "0" to the output string
so 0
which is still 0
then the next is 0 as well, so i get a 1 ? because it matches the previous
yes
👍 No problem!

How did u change from -1+1to+1-1
Uh
a + b = b + a so
(-1) + (1) = (1) + (-1)
^^ a = -1, b = 1
1 + (-1) is just 1 - 1
No, I mean how to change-to+
you had -1 + 1, addition is commutative so you change their order, you get (1) + (-1) = 1 - 1

『Marius』
is this x^(1/x)
yes
and just x^0 ?
so 1?
as in the limit

can someone explain how this works to me please
for the inner sum: observe that |i-j| = |j-i|, so it doesn't matter which one of i, j is larger
therefore your sum counts each distinct |i-j| twice, for example, when i=2, j=1 and i=1, j=2 the inner expression is identical
so the second expression fixes it so that j is always smaller than or equal to i (helps to notice that when i=j your inner sum is 0) and you can pull the 2 out the front
treating 1/n^2 as a constant (which it is) for the inner sum wrt j, can you rewrite the sum as an expression?

on a) just conjugate pair
yeah i figured A
was just curious
for part B
would I use the cubic rule
ab + by + ay = c /a to find gamma ?
where's gamma in your question?
wdym where is gamma ? I know alpha and beta are the two complex pairs and to find p & q i must find y
rather use Vieta
im referring to roots as alpha , beta and gamma if that clears up any confusion 🙂
here is what I did i'm just curious as to whether or not it's valid
will send a photo
so that should work, but in context of the question i guess the question maker intended for it to be solved with long division
will look into that method , we have only been taught to solve based on the rules

ive watched the video provided and im still getting it wrong
square based pyramids formula is 1/3 x base area x height
so it should be 1/3 x 36 x 7 ?
so its 84
cylinder is pie x radius squared x height
so pi x 9 x 6
which is 54 pie which needs to be halfed as its only half a cylinder
27 pie + 84 is 168.8230016 or whatever
and i round it to 1 dp and it says its wrong

idk what happened but it changed question i did it again and it was correct so im just confused but i got it correct and i didnt really get help so f

Can someone explain how this is wrong? My thought process for the first one was 2 sqrt root 3(x-2) -4
then I got 2 sqrt root 3x-6 -4
And for the second one I did 2 (sqrt root -3x) -4
then 2 sqrt root (-3(x+2)) -4
and got 2 sqrt root (-3x-6)-4
both
is there a way to simplify it further?
For the second one can I write -2 sqrt root (3x+6) -4?
Sometimes if you get one wrong it marks both wrong
no you cant take out the negative sign

f(10)-f(1)/10-1
for me is 1/18
but i don't know if that's correct
because i got a value of c that i don't think is correct
well 1/18 isnt the answer, but its a step towards finding it
@dim coral did u find f'(x)
yes
whatd u get
u think u could write it out and send a pic? its kinda unclear from the text
or latex
$x\cdot (-1(x+5)^{-2})+(x+5)$
cynicalcola
so (x+5)-(x/((x+5)^2))
or are u trying to say the x+5 - x is all part of the numerator of the fraction
just simplify it down, it will make it a whole lot easier
yeah i just gave you like the original derivative without simplifcation
to avoid mistakes
ah ok
but i think this is basically same thing
yea i rewrote what u had
but just simplify now
i got it on the first try
oh same thing you did
it could be many things
but the one you said is true
so i used it
eitherway i get this as c
wat
ok hold up, lets take this 1 step at a time
first completely simplify the derivative, so we dont have to worry abt mistakes
$-x(x+5)^{-2}+(x+5)$
cynicalcola
$-\frac{x}{(x+5)^{2}}+(x+5)$
cynicalcola
no thats not right
$(x+5)-\frac{x}{(x+5)^{2}}$
thats why i was confused before abt what u wrote
cynicalcola
how come the x+5 is outside the fraction
cynicalcola
no, try finding it again
product rule
x*derivative of x+5 + vice verca
but i flipped the original equation to apply product rule
so u did x * (x+5)^-1 ?
cynicalcola
ur derivative is wrong
try it once more
product rule works, but id recommend quotient rule here
i'll try quotient rule
but do uknow what is wrong?
doesn't seem like anything is wrong for me
did it multiple times
yes, ill show u how to do it with product rule then.
u = x, v = (x+5)^-1, u' = 1, v'= -(x+5)^-2
uv'+vu'
=
x(-(x+5)^-2) +((x+5)^-1) *1
$\frac{x+5}{(x+5)^{2}}$
cynicalcola
no, but close
cynicalcola
(2+2) - 4 = ?
0?
i can just plug 1/18 in
(2+2) - 4 = (2-4) + 2 = 2 + (2-4)
well u could, but thats not how u get the answer
do u see what the numerator becomes
associative property of addition
i don't really understand what we're doing here
at the moment, we're completely simplifying the derivative of f(x)
do u not know how to do (x+5) - x ?
the parentheses dont even matter
so you mean it's just 5?
yes
oh ok
so its 5/(x+5)^2
sorry i have some gaps in algebra
no worries
now, remember our value from earlier, the 1/18?
set that equal to what we just got for f'(x)
howd u calcualate it
cynicalcola
that's what i got
howd u get 40
i moved (x+5)^2 to the other side
5/(x+5)^2 = 1/18
here
then 1/18 to the side of 5
whats 18 * 5
oh it should be actually 90
yea
cynicalcola
yes, now check which of those falls in our interval
with original function?
wdym? check if these +- values we just got fall into the interval [1,10]

Haiya! I'm being asked:
If 3x - y = 10, what is the value of 6x - 2y
I know that the answer is 20, because x should be 4 and y should be 2, but I feel that there would be a better way to answer the question with a better solution- Is there any?
x and y are not specifically 4 and 2 respectively. If not given any further constraint on what x and y are, they could be just anything. For example, x=1 then y=-7
the answer is 20 is because if 3x-y=10, then if we multiplied both sides by 2, we would get 6x-2y=20
which ideally is what the question asks
ohh, I see
or in another way, you can view it as because 3x-y is 10, then 6x-2y must be 20 in order to satisfy the first condition for any pairs of x and y
i did not see the question that way, thats cool
so any value for x and y would give a 20, as long as it satisfies the condition
yes, any (x, y) pair that satisfies 3x-y=10 would make 6x-2y=20

yes
then label one of the angles theta, and the opposite side should have length sqrt3, and it's adjacent should have length 7
What the hell am I doing here?
It doesn't matter.
ok
This works, without you having to do the negative and shit. Because there's tan^2
oh
thx
that makes sense
ur a good person brother
@dusty hazel
i got 46 as the answer
is that right?
damn
lmao
remember that cos(theta) is between -1 and 1
cosine should be between -1 and 1
Exactly.

Look Eddie, you brought so many people here.
i dont understand what i did wrong
Show your working that lead to 46 as the answer?
how did you get 49 for cos^2
cos is -7
you could also use this
i cant i wanna learn what my teacher taught
You'll have to find the hypotenuse using Pythagorean theorem. To be able to use this one.
Which is something your teacher should have taught you.
wait so i find the hypotenuse for these sides?
can u pls explain it to me again using my teachers equation
i think i drew the triangle wrong
Can you find the hypotenuse?
yeah.
omg
how about sintheta
yeah. It is.
