Basically, Sum is less than 1/3 -> works.
Sum is greater than 1/2 -> works.
Both would have worked too but that's not possible in this case.
Okay makes sense, that was probably a stupid question
For this one
I had Quantity B is bigger
i used hypergeometric on both
,, \frac{3C_2 \cdot 2C_1 + 3C_1 \cdot 2C_2}{5C3} = \frac{9}{10}
Is that quantity A?
kanna22
Quantity B looks like 1 because there's no way he doesn't pick a red even in the worst case scenario where he picks BBB and then R
What if BBRB ?
It's certainly not 1.
,, \frac{3C_3 \cdot 2C_1 + 3C_2 \cdot 2C_2}{5C_4}= 1
I guess order doesn't matter in hypergeometric
kanna22
First one also seems a bit wrong to me. You are assuming that you are taking out 2 Blue and 1 red, or 1 blue and 2 red, but they consider all orders so you are adding extra cases.
Like RBB is also included in 3c2 * 2c1.
Yes I'm aware now that i've written it out
How do i do it with permutations then
Or whatever
I think you do it this way - Instead of doing it for 3 balls out of bag, do it for 2 and then ensure that third ball being taken out is blue. For part A.
Denominator would change accordingly i.e. 5c2.

✅
BBR and BRR?
BBR = 3/6 * 2/5 * 2/4 = 1/10
BRR = 1/10 as well
1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5
RBR as well.
sure yeah
Result:
0.2
Result:
0.2
so 2/5 for quantity A
Quantity B: BBBR, BBRR, and other permutations?
BBBR = 4!/3! = 4
BBRR = 4!/(2! * 2!) = 6
so
,calc 4* (3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 * 2/2)
Result:
0.4
,calc 6* (3/5 * 2/4 * 2/3 * 1/2)
Result:
0.6
what
RBR = 2/5 * 3/4 * 1/3
BRR = 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3
same thing
Both are 0.1 so total is 0.4.
0.4
yes i already did that though
.
Ah. I misread.
How to do Quantity B?
oh i see
"BBBR = 4!/3! = 4
BBRR = 4!/(2! * 2!) = 6" this is a bit wrong
BBBR = 3!/3! = 1 because we're only permuting BBB's
BBRR would be 3!/2! so 3
,calc 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 * 2/2
Result:
0.1
,calc (3/5 * 2/4 * 2/3 * 1/3)*3
Result:
0.2
Yeah. That seems correct.
Why do you need 0.4?
1/2 not 1/3
Result:
0.3
okay 0.3 + 0.1 = 0.4
so they're equal
but this was way too long to do tbh
I have 1 minute to do the question lmao
without a calculator too
and also there's the fact that i could make silly mistakes on top of that
I guess there's a more optimal way to do this
Oh wait
Aren't they equal because they're independent events?
Probability of me getting head on the 100th flip and on the 1st flip is the same
Wait
THey're dependent events
Lol because "without replacement"

does anyone know how to prove a rotated shape are the same or any resources I can look at

What do you mean the same?
what?
an example would 2 be triangles are rotated , what is the minimum information i need to know they are the same
rotation preserves angle measure and dimension
in other words, a shape is congruent to its image after rotation
shouldnt matter
rotations are a rigid transformation no matter what youre rotating

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
between 1-2 i have got a answer for sin301 but i dont know how to approach the rest or if it is right
alright lets start with sin301
waht did you get
-sin59
is cos75 correct for the next?
well
not quite
lets take a look at the unit circle
does it make intuitive sense that tan(90+x)=-tan(90-x)
yea
110?
so if we know this
then 110=90+x
and x=?
-tan(70) ?😭
mhm
oh was that it haha
ahh i seee thank you!!
hmm
second?
right
what cosine in the first quadrant is this going to look like
120 maybe
300'
is that in the first quadrant?
right
but cos(120) and cos(60) arent exactly the same
what do we have to do
perhaps -cos60?
right
because its on the other side of the y axis
last one
cot(-2pi/3
i know cot x = cosx/sinx
right
so what value in the first quadrant has the same tangent as -2pi/3
60?
right
so if tan(60)=tan(-2pi/3)
then 1/tan(60)=1/tan(-2pi/3)
and cot(60)=cot(-2pi/3)
so 1/cot(60)=1/cot(-2pi/3)?
cot is 1/tan right
and we know the tangents are equal
so the cotangents must also be equal
sorry i havent done this bit before
yes
which means you understand cot=1/tan
yes
yep is cot60= 1/tan(-2pi/3)?
right
and 1/tan(-2pi/3)=cot-2pi/3
so cot60=cot(-120)
well
ah
they want it in [0,40]
well
we can just invert it i suppose
cot(60)=tan(30)
ah i see haha do the rest of fall into the range?
-sin59=-cos(31)
-tan(70)=-cot(20)
i can go over why those are true if you want
hmm does cos75 work
for which
well
for specifically angles in the first quadrant
sin(x)=cos(90-x)
and cos(x)=sin(90-x)
so sin 15?
right
oki thank you!! just one last thing haha when it says in terms of trig function of a single argument
?
oh
uh
a single argument just means theres only one things in the parentheses
like sin(1234)

The matrix A ∈ C^(n×n) is called antihermitian if A = -Ā^T, where Ā = (Āij) is the matrix obtained from A by taking the complex conjugate of all its elements. Show that the set of all antihermitian matrices of type 2 × 2 forms a vector space over R (the set of real numbers). Find a basis for this vector space and determine its dimension. Explain why it is not a vector space over C (the set of complex numbers).
to show that it is closed under addition i just need to do this? $A+B={-}{\overline{A}}^T{-}{\overline{B}}^T={-}({\overline{A+B}})^T$
Slowaq
yes
alrigh and with that logic to show Closure under scalar multiplicationis is this satisfactory? $Ac={-}{\overline{A}}^Tc$
Slowaq
@inner solar Has your question been resolved?
ah yes you are right
i dont understand what you mean with this
$cA=c{-}{\overline{A}}^T$
Slowaq
later on they ask you to show that its not a vector space over C
so if you allow c to be a complex number then something has to fail
you have to show that $cA = -\overline{cA}^T$
Denascite
ah yes i understand now
so how shoould i show that
be patient with me please bacause i am kind of lost xd
well you have shown so far that $cA = -c\overline A ^T$
Denascite
so thats quite close
now i just take complex conjugate of c?
hm c is real number since i am trying to show closure under scalar multiplicationi then it shoulnd change
yes
so i can just write $cA = -c\overline A ^T= -\overline {cA}^T?$
Slowaq
and thats it?
if you specifically write down that the second equality holds because c is real
@inner solar Has your question been resolved?
andd how should i show this? (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)
well this holds for all matrices
which you hopefully have shown before
so in particular it holds if you only consider special matrices
yes of course
i got it
and now how do i find its basis?
@crimson delta
$A = \begin{pmatrix} ip_1 & a \ -\overline{a} & ip_2 \end{pmatrix}$, $p_1, p_2 \in \mathbb{R}$, $i \in \mathbb{C}$
Slowaq
something like this?
i found this on polish wiki xd and it is general form of antihermitian matrix
ok so we can choose p1, p2 and if we write a=c+d then we can also choose c and d freely
now make easy choices (aka all of them zero except for one) and you get your basis
a is from this not general form i wrote?
ah alright
so for example i put p1,p2,c=0 and d=1?
for example, yes
$\langle \begin{pmatrix} 0 & i \ -i & 0 \end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\rangle$
co can this be my basis?
hm but i dont think it generates R
ah true ture sory ymy bad
Slowaq
is this better?
oh 😦
well in first matrix ive put all zero except d, then all 0 except c, then p1=1 and lastly p2=1
isnt it that what youve meant?
exactly what I meant, yes
and so that is what i have done here
ah true treu
$\langle \begin{pmatrix} 0 & i \ i & 0 \end{pmatrix},\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} i & 0 \ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}, \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 0 & i \end{pmatrix}\rangle$
now correct?
check the first one again
Slowaq
now?
yes
noice
and the reason why it isnt vector space over the set of complex numbers is that all coeficients could be zero except for matrix $\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ -1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ and since it does not have any complexx component it can not create complex number?
Slowaq
no
😦
this doesnt work if c is allowed to be complex
find a matrix A and a complex number c such that A is in the set but cA is not
one of your basis elements will do
so if my complex number will be $-i$ then if i multiply it with for example $\begin{pmatrix} i & 0 \ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ i will get $\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ and this matrix is not in yout space?
Slowaq
yes
alright thank you so much

with which series can i compare 1/(2(n+1)) to prove convergence or divergence?
Is your series
$\frac{1}{2(n+1)}$?
riemann
yes
Why do you think that converges
if i compare with the harmonic series it doesnt prove me anything since 1/n is bigger than 1/2(n+1)
Factor out 1/2 from your series
Did you do this hint
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2(n+1)}$
Nel
You want to know whether this converges, right?
yeah
maybe im not getting the comparison test right, because i suppose you mean i should compare 1/n+1 with 1/n ( 1/n+1 < 1/n), since 1/n is known to diverge, but isnt this pointless since 1/n+1 is smaller than 1/n? if it was the opposite i would know for certain that 1/n+1 explodes
like 1/n-1
You can just add 1/(2*1) to that sum
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2(n+1)} = \left(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2(n+1)} \right) - 1/2$
Nel
Note the change to n=0

you could change this to an integral form
doesnt it become undefined
no no
im wrong
it becomes
integral 1 to 0 dx/(1+x+x^2)

Given that car A is 500 m behind car B at t = 0, at what value of t does car A
catch up with car B?
Can I use a suvat equation to work it out?
another way you can think about it...the area under the graph of the velocity equals the distance the car is traveling
for example since distance = time x velocity, look at car B's left part of the graph, the part where its velocity is 15 and it's traveling for 30 minutes at that velocity
distance for that part = 15 x 30, which is the area of that rectangle
you can convince yourself it works for a triangular part of the graph too by thinking of average velocity for that part
but then how would you get the exact time
so you would have to figure one at which part of the graph, the area under the graph of A is 500 more than the graph of B
that means it would be catching up at that moment
at t=40
b is 100 ahead of a
so
20 seconds more#
cuz b is 25ms-1 and a is 30ms-1
thus 5 difference
and
100/5 = 20
so at t=60
how did you get this? im getting different numbers
oh wait no youre right, my bad

Hi I have a problem but I don’t really know how to explain it since I’m not a native English speaker so I’ll try my best to translate it and let me know if you don’t understand a thing
Basically it’s about « divisibility in Z »
Let a and b be two natural integers with 1<= a <=9 and 0<= b <= 9
We consider the number abab….ab written in the decimal system
This number is therefore composed only of the digits ab repeated n times, where n desginates a non-zero natural number
- We consider the number ababab. Write this number in terms of a, b and powers of 10. (I did this one)
- Deduce that ababab is a multiple of ab (I need help for this one)
Here’s what I did for the first one :
a10^5 + b10^4 + a10^3 + b10^2 + a10 + b1
For the second one my teacher told me to obtain something like a(…..) + b(…..) = ab
I started by doing a(10^5 + 10^3 + 10) + b(10^4 + 10^2 + 1) = 0
After this I’m completely lost
You mean I have to do a(10^5 …..)/10 ?
Why are you dividing
If ababab is multiple of ab then ababab = 10^5(10a+b) + 10^3(10a+b)+ 10(10a+b) now take 10a+b common hence done
I just realized what you meant, factor mean dividing in my language but sorry
Misunderstood it
Oh I see
You can do it for arbitrary terms
Yea dx gave you the solution
Alright thank you I’ll try this !!
If I do this and I develop I get a whole other thing that does not match my first answer is this normal ?
Maybe you meant 10^4(10a+b) + 10^2(10a + b) + (10a+b) ?
Because it matches better my first answer
Yup thats work fine
And so after doing that what am I supposed to do I don’t really understand
Okay so when we talk about multiple
Like multiple of ab
Whats ab actually in its 10a + b
Like 34 = 3*10 + 4
So now the number which you are given
ababab
Has to be a multiple of ab
I.e of type m(10a+b)
Where m is some number
That's what we are doing
First writing ababab in decimal notation
a×10^4 + b×10^3....
Thank you sooooo much really
Its confusing because u might be thinking of ababab as a number
But ababab is just numeric notation
Like 123
Actually they are 100×1 + 10×2 + 3
Alright I see thank you so much
Np
I appreciate

can someone show me how to solve for the exact value of this log?
I was shown one method but it seemed very convoluted and i'm just looking to see another way thats simpler
what's your method?
tbh, i'd just write everything in powers of 3
and simplify further
not mine but the log rule someone showed me was something i hadnt seen before. where they turned log_9 into log_3^2 then turned that into 1/2 log_3
yep, that's what you'll do
write everything in powers of 3
and use log properties
$\log_{3^2} (3^7 \cdot 3^{\frac{4}{5}})$
can you show me the rule for turning log_3^2 into 1/2 log_3? like an image from the web or something
notamy
you want proof for that?
what you wrote this part i know is equal to the original
and further simply the things in the backet to 3^39/5
but i just dont really get the moving the ^2 to be 1/2
so i want to see the log rule for that explained somewhere
for example
i see all this but i never see how they rearrange the b infront of log
and as a fraction
$\log_{a^2} b = \frac{\log b}{\log a^2} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\log b}{\log a} = \frac{1}{2} \log_{a} b$
notamy
ahhhh......tysm
that clears it up
is there anything else i should know or is that it?
that's it, you can use the other log properties to simplify this ^^

Problem A and B I don’t know how to start it
For 77
Here’s the notes
I think it’s y=k/x but what to go from here?
Yeah. In your problem its x+6 instead of just x though, so how would you modify it to fit this
Replace “k” with x+6
replace x with x+6
y = k/(x + 6)
Because in the sentence, x is replaced with x+6. So it should make more sense that we place the x in the formula with x+6 rather than the k
ye and plug in value of k as well
K is also 0?
Before this you need to find k
y = k/(x + 6)
you'll need to find value of k before proceeding to B part
the question has given the information via which value of k can be found - "y = 1 when x = 1"
so put y = 1 and x = 1 then what would be value of k?
oof, happens sometimes

do you still need help or you've figured it out?
ya I need help
okie, you've found that value of k right? it's 7
yes
that’s it or nope
that's it
DONT LEAVE ME
that'd be the answer for b
I have one more question
alright alright
so if I’m writing it as a sin wave
ok wait
first question is
what would the period be ?
if I’m making sin wave
I have to write sin equation
is it possible to find where the graph intercepts the x-axis?
Idek
cause there's a slight shift to right
and idts we can find it by just seeing the graph
what if we were writing a cosine equation then?
don’t think you need that
the equation would be of the form 4sin(x - a)
you can just look at the peaks to determine a
wait, you need period. it'll just be 2π

model it as acos(b(x + c)) + d
a = (max-min)/2
d = (max + min)/2
c is just the phase shift so compare it to how cos(x) would normally be at x = 0
@verbal pawn
Thx kanna that’s what I got too
np
converting to a sin(x) counterpart is trivial using cos(pi/2 - x) = sin(x)
,w graph 3sin(pi/2 - (x + pi/2)) +1

Using brute force, I was able to prove that this sequence has a lower bound of 0 and no upper bound
However, I'm unable to understand how to use the theorems on limits to prove this problem
Like is it alright if I just say if n =1, then xn equal to 0. As n is not bound above, so is xn thus it is divergence when n approaching inf?

Hello
I found a pattern in number line that is new to me.
If i want to find if something is divisible by 7 -> I find the one's place of that number so let's say the number is 245, one's place is 5. So in each 10th iteration there is always one number that is multiple of 7 that yields a number with 5 as it's one's place. For instance 7 * 5 is 35, 7 * 15 is 105. So I can check if 245 is divisible by 35 or 105 to reduce the number of steps of division I do. If it is divisible, then it is also divisible by 7 else not.
What's the term for this technique in mathematics ?
if some number is divisible by say 35 then it is also divisible by its factors (like 7)
Its kind of obvious, since the last digit of a product of 2 numbers is defined by the last digits of the 2 numbers you multiply
You can prove it with modular arithmetic
So basically try to find the highest number that is a multiple of the number that I want to find.
some terms you might want to look up:
- modular arithmetic (specifically mod 10)
- general divisibility rules
That will yield the lowest number of steps the division takes.
I will look into those.
Its HCF(Highest common factor)
I don't know if these are basics or not. But I feel as if I discovered this pattern by myself instead of reading in some book.
Also I am new to maths.
U discovered HCF which is pretty useful
i wouldn't say it's basics per se (at least none of the school's i've been in studied modular arithmetic in high school) but it's nothing super advanced either. these topics have been studied thoroughly before so you have plenty of resources to study
I think I have read about modular arithmetic when I learned about the RSA algorithm.
I've just read it though, i don't fully understand it.
Anyone have anything to say more about this can reach me out in my DM. I am closing this.

heyy inverse function again
You want the find the domain and range of this function?
yea
but the example that my friend sent, it has an x in the denominator but if theres no x, what am i gonna do
if theres no x then its better for you
how soo
if theres x on the bottom you have to worry about what values will make the function undefined and have asymptotes and stuff
but this is just a straight line
so its simply { 2, to infinity}?
are you saying x values dont exist below 2?
because they do

Is -inf squared inf?
How are you defining squaring for something that is not a number?
I don’t understand how to solve this
Well -inf^2 that’s where I got it from the a is squared
show your work cause it looks to me like -inf
It’s the e)
Can you tell me how do I proceed with sqrt (-inf^2+1)
sqrt((large negative number)^2) = large positive number
large negative number - large positive number = large negative number
Huh
think of it as a gets bigger rather than a = infinity
Nvm ln(0)=-inf and because of F(b)-F(a) it becomes inf

whenever performing algorithms on vector spaces, do you want to put them in their basis
so then you only perform these operations on all the unique vectors than are in the span of a subspace
that is such a general question, impossible to answer
most useful algorithms are probably written just in terms of a basis, not in terms of the vector space
cause well usually vector spaces have infinitely many elements so doing stuff to them is kinda impractical
a basis theoretically is just all the unique vectors that belong in some dimension right
i just said that because the vectors are like linearly independent
they are, yes

I think you need formula for that iirc
error for volume of tank=1000/2=500 and error for volume of a full cup=10/2=5. We have to take the upper bound of the water tank to have as much water as possible and take the lower bound of the full cup volume to reduce it and thus get more (but smaller) full cups. Upper bound of tank volume=6500 cm^3 and lower bound of full cup volume=295 cm^3
6500/295=22
wait it gives 22
sorry I took 255 instead of 295 in my calculator and got 25
Thanks

Question: Consider a simple coin game where you can bet any amount of money. If it lands on Heads, you double your bet; if it lands on Tails, you lose your bet. Consider a strategy where you start by betting $1. If you lose, you will bet $2. If you lose again, you will bet $4, and so on in this way until you finally win a toss. Once you have won a toss, your strategy has been implemented, and you stop. If you have a total bankroll of $63 available to implement this strategy, what is your expected profit?
hi channel is occupied. Please wait for another channel to open
So I thought it would be lke this: you have 1/2 chance of winning on the first try so 1/2 * 2 + the chance you loss on the first try and then bet 2 and then win which is 1/4 * 4
then repeating this for all possible bets gives: 1/2 * 2 + 1/4 * 4 + 1/8 * 8 + 1/16 * 16 + 1/32 * 32 + 1/64 * 64
which equals 6 dollars
6 dollars can't be right
half the time you'll end up with $64, right?
oh
wait
expected profit being like
you end with $69
half the time you'll profit $1 yeah
6 dollars still sounds wrong
Yeah 6 seems wrong
it is wrong
this doesn't consider the costs
you can't expect profit
ie the bets that you lost
ah ok so then half the time you'll proft +$1 and half the time you'll lose -$63
Sam525
i don't think that's true, you have to lose a lot of times in a row to lose $63
Then I thinkk to lose all 63 dollars you need to lose 6 times in a row so 1/2^6 chance of losing 63?
So then if the expected gain is $1 and expectd lss s 63/64 iis the expected prof 1-63/64=1/64 dollar?
isnt this 0?
it is
i know you said 0 along time ago
i just don't think your calculation made sense but i could be wrong
sorry for tht
Ah ok no thank you for explaning it properly I was saying 0 based on vibes lol
Thank you for your help!

a little confused on how to approach this question
If it asked you to find h(4), what would you do?
What makes you think that?
What does 4n mean to you?
4 x a number representing n = ur solution
Right, so an x value correct?
yes
Knowing that is true why would you set it up so its 4h then? What do you mean by that.
Looks like your saying a vertical expansion of 4 almost which is ambiguous and would be changing the function which we cannot do.
ohh
so x = 4n
is an input.
We have to INPUT that into the function.
The original input is the x, all we did was apply operations on it and transform it where we have 2x^2 - 3
gotcha
Do you understand how inputs and outputs work?
Its alright if you don't, I just need to see where your gaps are coming from.
input is what goes into the function and output is what comes out of it
Right, so lets say I inputted 1 into the function
what would that come out to be?
h(1)?
-1 ?
Of course its negative 1 what else would it be?
Do you just want the answer?
I can then guide yah through step by step or I can keep hinting yah and make yah think analytically till u understand why.
no keep going
Ight, so make u think abt it critically right?
yes
Kk. Thats what I like to see.
it will help me understand this better 😭
Ofc.
not sure what else it would be except for -1
1
Ima teach u abt inputs and outputs
u seem to be lacking in that.
Which is where the confusion is coming from.
Are you doing compositions as of rn?
yes
Ight I'm gonna help for 10-15 more mins but then gotta dip.
nwss
mhm
Think of a function as a machine
we plug something into it.
We get something out of it.
gotcha
Now here is a confusing part
Many people believe that any operation we perform on our initial x value is a considered a functions operation.
Here hold up this may take a while to explain ima just eplain it simpler terms for yah.
h(x) = 2x^2 - 3
I think where your confusion is stemming from is that your thinking if x = 4n, but 4n can equal anything then how can we have that as an input and thats causing you all these problems?
ohh
Is that whats confusing you?
Because if I say something like find h(8)
You are able to compute that just fine as you did with h(1)
yeah i think thats the root of the problem
Mk, so compositions are a "function of a function." Its not a definite number as such that we plug in since its a function.
familiar with this notation?
yes
mk, so f just denotes f(x) and g denotes g(x)
What would this come out to be its okay if your unsure.
I don't expect you to know this as its your primary root confusion.
not sure
Alright, no worries.
Now the notation here represents "f of g" or in others the function f defined in terms of g.
initially what was our input for the function f?
f(g(x)) what would that come out to be?
we are updating the initial variable for f(x) with g(x).
Well star I wish I could stay longer and help, but am unfortunately busy.
its ok 😭
I'm going to post the answer, but am going to keep the message hidden.
Unblur it once you have come to an answer or have done the best you could.
ok thank u sm!
|| h(x) = 2x^2 -3 --> x = 4n (AN INPUT) --> h(4n), we need to update the initial varialbe x with our new input. Therefore h(4n) = 2(4n)^2 - 3 --> 2(4n)(4n) - 3 --> 32n^2 -3 ||
