Which is?
what
Can you tell me what the distance formula is
oh √(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2
okei, so i solve that separately?
Not quite
Can you find the distance from (x,y) to (-2,0)?
yes
x^2+y^2+4x+4
x^2+y^2-4x+4
is this right
@vital pumice Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
assume the point to be (h,k)
and then just do what the question says
after simplifying replace h and k with x and y
then what?
thisi
this is your last step
this is your answer
okaayy

The continious function f(x) is defined on interval [a,b] the task is to prove that g(x) is continious on interval [a,b] where g(x) = min value of f(x) on interval [a,x]
so g(x) = a constant?
No
It depends on interval
For example g(1) = min value of f(x) on interval [a,1]
@candid coyote Has your question been resolved?
Have you tried using the epsilon delta definition and see if you can form the inequality in such a way that |g(x) - g(y)| \leq |f(x) - f(y)| ?
That's the trick at least
If you can I some way show that then that means g(x) is continuous too
Doesn't have to be exactly like this tho
This is the hardest part
I try if x2>x1 then g(x2) is g(x1) or
min value f on interval (x1,x2]
Let define min value f on interval (x1,x2] g(x1,x2)
Then g(x2) - g(x1) = 0 or
g(x1,x2) - g(x2)
But can we find bound on it?
I observe that it monotonic decreasing function
Yeah this method does not work here sorry
Guess you have to investigate the neighborhood of where f(x) attains its minimum on the specified interval
Start with a fixed point in other words
@grim yacht lets go on channel real analysis

two questions: 1) am i right to assume they mixed up proof a and b here and 2) I don't rly understand proof a (which i assume is for b). Why is t neither in A or B but has to be in both A^c and B^c?
ok fuck i realize A^c is the complement of A not A to the power of c lmao
still anyhow are they mixed up? am i still right to try to prove the first law?
Think so
thanks
complement are basically inverses i see now
i already kinda saw that but now i see it with proof and reasoning too

Hi I'm here to drop the level of math because I'm dumb
Solve this dumb question for me plss
9/24,10/24,11/24,12/24,13/24,14/24 It can also written as 3/8,40/96,22/48,13/24,7/12.
Why and how it can be written like that?

Ok
What 40/96 is coming from
Okay, image you have 2 friends (very sad) and one of them is male
breaks the unspoken guidelines
multiplication by 4
That means half of your friends is male
Wait a sec
Or, in other words, 1/2 of your friends is male
shall i DM?
Now, imagine you have 4 friends and 2 of them is male
No
That still means half of your friends are male

why does squaring a random variable retain the probability distribution before it was squared
In otherwords, why does X^2 have the same PMF as X?
Because the way I see it, given a geometric distribution:
If you have X= 1,2,3,4 and p = .9 q = .1, then P(X=1) = .9, P(X=2) = 09, P(X=3) = .009, P(X=4) = .0009
Suppose I square X
X^2 = 1,4,9,16
Well, to get P(X=1), its .9
BUT to get P(X=4) its .0009

i have to prove it using epsilon and N
i did this but is it correct tho
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
the handwriting is annoying to read
but yeah, i was able to follow the steps. as long as you write in the right order and not in MSPaint, it should be good 
also as long as you bracket (sqrt(4n + 1) / n - 2) after the second equality
in the official solution its 1/4epsilon <= N
mine is 1/2epsilon <= N 😦
that means im wrong?
well 1/2\epsilon > 1/4\epsilon, so if you pick N bigger than 1/2\epsilon, it will be larger than 1/4\epsilon as well and whatever the official solution did will work also
if i had to guess, maybe the official solution assumed n >= 2 so they could say that $$\sqrt{\frac{4n + 1}{2}} = \sqrt{2n + 1/2} > \sqrt{2*2 + 1/2} > 2$$ to get 2 + 2 instead of 0 + 2 under the denominator
ves
that's okay. you just need to show that given any epsilon, you can pick SOME N such that (blah blah blah...)
you showed that, its just a different N than the """official solution"""
(the official solution gets a tighter bound than you did, they only have to go half as far out to find N, but its okay if you go twice as far out as they did to find your N)
yeah i mean after all for every epsilon
i gotta find and N
doesnt matter if its 1/2e or 1/4e
right?

I know these triangles are similar, that there proportion is equal in terms of a fraction but 7/10 is 70% and 8x+6 is not 70% of 77
77 needs to be 70% of 8x+6
AB = EF, not DE
But how when it’s similar angle is 10/7
I’m comparing the 77 and 10 over the 7 and variable equation
no, the triangles are fliped
it’d be easier to compare 7 to 77, as its multiplying by 11
Ohhh shit…. How did you realise the proper alignment
then 11 . 10 = 8x +6
the length of the lines are different
Ohh gosh
do you understand the issue?
Yeah , I’ll just have to work out the cross multiplication
I always get confused wether to go straight across or diagonally
when there’s an equal sign between, it’s diagonal
when is a multiplication, it’s straight

Given today is Tuesday, what day of the week was it 200 days ago?
A. Monday
B. Tuesday
C. Wednesday
D. Friday
E. Saturday
use odd days concept
is it friday
idk
the last tuesday in that week was 196 days ago
4 days behind tuesday: monday(1) sunday(2) saturday(3) and friday(4)
what is the first day of your week?
sunday
you can also just count 200 days 
@gloomy bough
Use cyclicity
Yes?
yh its mod
🗿 what are yall saying 💀
for example let tha day be x then after 200 days fay will be x+4
I don't understand anything
See days will repeat after every 7k type days
200 = 7k+4
yes'
So see this msg
Closed by @gloomy bough
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
let x be the day
x + 200 is congruent to 1 mod 7
so x is congruent to -199 mod 7
so x is congruent 4 mod 7
friday is teh 4th day
smthn like that
with 0 -> monday, 1 -> tuesday etc
@gloomy bough
thanks but don't understand 💀

What am I doing wrong when I'm trying to find the sector area for this?
-
$\theta = 90$ degrees, $r = 10$cm
-
Convert to radians $\frac{90\pi}{180}$ or $\frac{1\pi}{2}$
-
Plug it in the formula $\frac{\frac{1\pi}{2}}{2}*10^2$
-
$\frac{2\pi}{2}*10^2
-
=314.159265359 cm

careful with the order of division
on #3?
yep
note that you're supposed to be dividing $\frac{\pi}{2}$ by 2 which would be
$$\frac{\br{\frac{\pi}{2}}}{2}$$
which isn't the same as
$$\frac{\pi}{\br{\frac 22}}$$

Doesnt $\frac{\br{\frac{\pi}{2}}}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} * \frac{2}{1}$

oh
$\frac{\br{\frac{\pi}{2}}}{2}$ can be viewed as the product:
$$\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac 12$$
so would i literally just divide pi by 2 and then by 2 again

If
sin( ) > 0, and tan( ) = 5/3 ,0 < or = < or =360
, then ,correct to the nearest whole angle, must be _____.
idk how to solve this the answer was 239 on the snwer sheet
i just tan-1 and got 59...
Find the quadrant the angle must be in first
Sine and tangent are both positive in what quadrant
using CAST it would be in 1st quad
right?
then tan = opp/hyp
,calc tan(59 deg)
Result:
1.6642794823505
Close to 5/3
so 59 is correct??
Should be close yea

How do you get the max angular velocity at 45 degrees?
All I was able to get out of what was shown was the moment of inertia of the plate at its centre.
The question didn’t even give velocity, so I was wondering where do I even begin…
K, I’ll try doing that.
I ended up with 2 variables: the final linear and angular velocity.
Did I do this right? I ended up with 2 variables when all I’m looking for is the angular velocity…
Is there a way to relate the angular and linear velocity so that I could solve this equation?
@opal zodiac Has your question been resolved?
Hmm…
I tried using v=wr, with radius being .919, but I don’t think it would be that simple.
Well, I’ll keep on it.
Integration for me is just finding the anti derivative of a given function. Also, shouldn’t you post this on an open question chat?
Ok…?
<@&286206848099549185>

I'm trying to solve if this is either convergent or divergent .¿What would be the right criteria ?
I suggest a comparative criterion in the limes version
notice that :
$\lim_{n \to \infty}\left( \frac{n+3}{n+1} \right)^{n}=\lim_{n \to \infty}\left( 1+\frac{2}{n+1} \right)^{n}=_{\cdots }=e^{2}$
Joanna Angel
that helps you, how to find the general term of the other series, to be compared to yours
another approach is to apply the classical comparative criterion using this inequality:
$\ln\left( 1+\frac{1}{n} \right)<\frac{1}{n}$
Joanna Angel
@lilac island Has your question been resolved?
thank you for your help.I tried using that approach but I it wasnt conclusive, maybe my calculations are wrong
I know that it is convergent but I dont really know how to solve the question
look at such , very alike example:
$0<\frac{1}{n}\ln\left( \frac{\sqrt{n}+1}{\sqrt{n}} \right)=\frac{1}{n}\ln\left( 1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \right)<\\<\frac{1}{n}\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1}{n^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
Joanna Angel
and now think, how to behave analogously, with your series
okay I think i understand
could you give advice about wich serie(I don't know if it is like that in english) should I compare it with?
what you compare with always depends on the form of the series, there is no wonderful rule that always uses the same thing, for example:
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sin\frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}\text{ is a convergent series because}\\0<\sin\frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}<\frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1}{n^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
Joanna Angel
but:
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sin\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\text{ is a divergent series because}\\0<\frac{2}{\pi}\cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}<\sin\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\text{ }\text{ since}\\\forall_{x\in \left( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right)}\text{ }\text{ }0<\frac{2}{\pi}x<\sin\text{}x$
Joanna Angel
we have to remember that:
that is, we very often strive to compare it with this harmonic series of the order p
Another very popular series for comparison is the school geometric series
$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}q^{n}\text{ }\text{ is a convergent series if and only if }\text{ }\left| q \right|<1$
Joanna Angel
I hope you can understand this, I have a lesson in 15 minutes, I have to get ready now, Good luck!

∀a∀b((∀x(x is prime)) -> ∀c, ac=bc))
what are you implying here?
@runic ingot Has your question been resolved?
i just gave myself tricky nosense implication that is mathematically legal
i want to show this odd statement is true, can i just negate and show it's false?
remove the quantifiers and explain in words what the statement is about?
also what makes you think it’s mathematically legal?
maybe it’s a statment but what makes you think it’s correct
that it's vacously true
ie, the antecedent is always false?
∀a∀b( (∀x(x is prime)) -> ∀c, ac=bc) )
this is different then looking at this like ∀a∀b∀x(((x is prime)) -> ∀c, ac=bc))
let's define it other way so it will be clearer for you to see:
P(a,b) = ∀x(x is prime))
q(a,b) = ∀c(ac=bc)
∀a∀b( P(a,b) -> q(a,b))

✅
The statement P(a,b) says any choice of a number is a prime?
yes without matter of a,b values
which is a false statement within our standard definitions
yes so that makes the sentence vacously true aint it
Sure
but this remainds me ex falso quodlibet
if 1=2 then unicorns are real
this is a true statement
Essentially from falsehood you can prove anything
yes
thats what i wanted to make sure
ty
Refer law of explosion
i can look at negation of this, 1=2 and unicorns are not real, so 1=2 is false, therefore the negation is false thus original is true?
Yes, the negation is 1=2 AND unicorns are not real, you could also say that negation is false forcing us to say that the implication is true
this notion of vaccously true is not bad
certain cases we can use them usefully
If you have taken some analysis, you may know null set is both open and closed
ah, i was asking this because i could decide wether this is true or false. it's over naturals(including 0)

hi
I got 15>x and 20>x
I know x can't be 0
well try putting it in the general equation of volume
(40-2x)(30-2x) <----- this is always greater than zero
What about x for the depth of the tray?
Do we not need to include that also?
yes
so the equation will be x(40-2x)(30-2x) >0
now you can just find the solution by number line method
That becomes 1200x -140x^2 +4x^3>0
you dont have to expand it
How do I use this method?
wait ill send you the screenshot lemme write it out for you
Thanks
I hope this helps :))

Given a number N that is natural (N>=1) it is necessary to prove that any number N can be represented using a different powers of 2
I need to prove this using induction!
what do you mean by different powers of 2
he means distinct
If N is even, then :
N=2k for some k .k can be represented as a sum of different powers of 2.
Therefore, N=2k can also be represented as a sum of different powers of 2 (just one power higher for each term in k's representation)
@tropic oxide
this is a part just part
I Assumed that for some arbitrary natural number k, where 1≤k<N, the statement is true.
i said not to ping me, but ok
Im sorry for being rude btw
it's whatever
I would be happy to know what u think and ty
Doesn’t this directly come from the fact that every positive integer has a unique binary equivalent?

How did k = -1 and k = 1/10 come?
k+1=0 or 10k-1=0
When you multiply two things and that’s equal to 0, either one is zero, the other is zero or both are zero. AB = 0, either A=0, B=0 or (A and B) =0

\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=8
/frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=8
surround the initial expression in $$
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=8$
kheerii
I need to transform this into y = mx + c
jus need to know the steps
thats possible
what would you do first?
- on side is - on the other'
transform the equation 4x + y = 8 to
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$
skrr
yeah
yeah so what do I do when its 4x divided by 8
is it just going to be
$\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{8}=1$
skrr
yeah looks good
is that it
@fringe pollen Has your question been resolved?
thank you, ive forgotten a lot of things bout this topic can you help me with another one if you dont mind? I just need to recall
" Given the gradient of straight line is -2. "
Find the x-intercept
so the coords r ( 3 , 1 )
I know that in order to get the x-intercept, you need to make the y value equals to 0 but is that it? I think im missing some steps

I think i'm missing something here
i need to find the area encased between 2 curves sin(2x) and 2sinx
1 of their areas
so i need to find 2 consecutive intersections, so i equated sin(2x) = 2sinx
=> 2sinxcosx = 2sinx
cosx = 1 ; x cannot equal k(pi), where k is a natural number
so what are the solutions???? i'm a bit confused
0 and pi is one set
why can it not equal kpi?
because we just divided by sinx, so we would be dividing by 0, no?
so we need to restrict it for those values
ah ye true
(i think, at least)
well, the limit is 0, so it roughly holds true
it would be an open interval
the end points have no significant contribution to the area, whether inclusive or exclusive, so just integrate between those bounds
ok, but cos(pi) = 1 isn't true either
cos pi is -1
i knowwwwww... intuitively at least it feels like that, but the fact that this is before taking any integral there are no limits involved here, it's just realllly uncomfortable to do that
in the integral calculus, atleast afaik, there's no real way to differentiate(pun not intended) between a close interval [a,b] and an open one (a,b) so the integral will be the same
but what about this?
'tis, i see
that value is negated because for that value (pi), this relation doesn't hold true
why not?
0=0
yes but if we proceed to the next step, we would be dividing by 0
so it's negated by the time we come to cosx=1
in that case solve by simply substituting values
|sin(2x) - 2sin(x)| between 0 and pi
or sin(x)=0; 2sin(x)(cos(x)-1)=0
ah, I see what you mean, yes, again find the limit at x=pi
limit?
the limit at x=pi is 0, is it not?

Let’s say I wanna buy 6 fishes, but I don’t know the gender.
What’s the probability/chance of me getting at least one female and one male fish?
You can get the probability all of them are male and add the probability all of them are female
So when that doesn’t happen u get at least one of each
What's the options to not get at least one female and male
All male or all female right
so just take 1- that
Guys do you not understand
I wanna have the chance of me getting at least one female and at least one male
Fish
So it can be that all of them are 6 males or 6 all are females
Can y’all find the chance?
If you say 1 male ANd 1 female at least that means they can’t be 6 males
AND means both
does that satisfy your condition?
FFFFFF - 6 female fish
MMMMMM - 6 male fish
MFFFMF - 2 male fish and 4 female fish
do all of these examples count? or only 2 male fish and 4 male fish?
@rare solstice Has your question been resolved?
I wanna have chances in %
yes i know
<@&286206848099549185> someone else help cause they don’t understand anything
I'm just trying to understand what do you mean by "at least one female and one male fish"
if FFFFFF and MMMMMM don't satisfy that, then the probability is 1-(probability of getting all male + probability of getting all female)
2 ways to solve this:
1)Use bayes theorem here
Or
2) use PNC to calculate the number of possibilities then use basic probability
You are rude and you are the one who doesn’t understand what’s going on here
Listen to the people is helping you or explain yourself better
whats the number of male and female fish(es) present
@rare solstice Has your question been resolved?
No?
<@&286206848099549185>
do you know sum rule of probability?
If you don't, you have no right to say that the helpers "don't understand anything"
you need to have a basic underdtanding of the topic before asking for help its not the helpers fault
the probability of getting at least one female and one male fish out of 6 fishes is 31/32.
do you even know what baye's theorem application is or how to impliment PnC in probability?

log8 2
in case you really don't wanna use latex, you can try to use _ for subscript
e.g.
log_8 2
and for longer expression, you may have to use 
log_8 2
yes
I’m not sure how to do it
Do what?
use the change of base property that we recalled earlier
to ln?
I don’t see a reason to
since, you know, 8 and 2 both powers of 2
Right
usually, when we are simplifying log with "special" bases, we tends to use the "change of base property"
Log_2/log_8
$\log_82=\frac{\log_22}{\log_28}$
Biscuity
So the two logarithm can be chosen?
the two log need to be of the same base
which we choose 2 in this case
Right
Okay
Hmm
1/2?
No
I meant 1/3
i need to read more about this property

I need help for solve this limit
my idea was to use the principle of substitution of infinitesimals
but i think is wrong my idea
It may work, what did you try?
the solution should be** f(x) lower order than g(x)**
use taylor expaion of ln and exp
my idea was just -2x/3x but is probably wrong
Something is a bit off, are you sure about that denominator?
this is the exercise from the book
And you are supposed to do f(x)/g(x), right?
What I meant before is, are you sure you applied the rule correctly in the denominator? Are you also sure that you didn't leave anything behind?
yeah i should f(x)/g(x) and from this understand after some calcolous what infinitesimals order is
Are you italian by any chance?
yes
Bene! Allora, io gli infinitesimi me li immagino un po' come se una funzione "arrivasse a 0 (oppure qualsiasi altro valore a cui tende limite) più velocemente di un'altra"
okk
Nel denominatore hai un'esponenziale, una funzione che notoriamente cresce "velocemente", e nel numeratore un logaritmo, una funzione che notoriamente cresce "lentamente". Però devi vedere quello che fanno in un intorno abbastanza piccolo di x = 0, che è il valore a cui tende il limite
Il limite puoi risolverlo per sostituzione come hai fatto tu, però hai sbagliato dei passaggi nel denominatore, perchè hai (spoilers) || lasciato indietro la x || e || applicato male un asintotico, che per ottenere devi prima cambiare di segno ||
In alternativa se le hai già fatte puoi usare le espansioni di taylor come ti ha consigliato everg
(Translation: otherwise, you can do what everg recommendend and use taylor expansions)
no, ancore no le ho fatte le espansioni di taylor
Ah ok, riprova con il metodo che stavi usando, fai bene le sostituzioni però
si una cosa sola, mi spieghi dove ho applicato male l'asintotico?
al denominatore dovrei fare -3x?
Nonna
È questo l'asintotico, tu lì ce l'hai del segno opposto
quindi prima ti conviene raccogliere un -
Nonna
ed ora puoi usare l'asintotico, però la x che hai lì al denominatore fuori dall'esponenziale non scompare nel nulla, rimane lì
si
però in questo caso diventerebbe (-2x)/(-3x^2) giusto?
Si
aspe una cosa che ora non mi ricordo, l/0=inf?
l inteso come numero reale
perchè se il procedimento è giusto potrei semplificare ed ottenere -2/-3x
a questo punto l'unca cosa che posso fare è sostituire x con 0
l/0 è indefinito, qualunque sia l.
Se c'è il limite (!) invece devi vedere da dove arriva quello 0 nel denominatore, dovresti vedere se ti viene lo stesso limite da sinistra e da destra, e allora hai il risultato del limite
fino a qui il procedimento è corretto si?
ora io non saprei come procedere, prechè se sotituisco x con 0 non risolvo niente perchè sarebbe un risultato indefinito, come dovrei fare?
È una forma di limite che dovresti conoscere, però prova a separalo in limite destro e sinistro e vedi se ti viene la stessa cosa
Prova proprio a calcolare il valore della funzione per valori piccoli di x, prima da destra di 0, poi a sinistra
e così ne vedi l'andamento
scusa, forse mi sbaglio, ma per il limite del quoziente l/0 non è uguale a |infinito|? (metto il modulo perchè può essere sia +inf che -inf in base sia ad l che a 0)
Si, ti viene o +inf o -inf, però devi sapere se ti viene lo stesso infinito da entrambi i lati
In soldoni, sti limiti di -2/3x da sinistra e destra hanno lo stesso valore?
avremo dei valori leggermente diversi perché da sinistra tenderà ad un valore leggermente più piccolo di 0, da destra leggermente più grande
?? Come leggermente più piccoli o più grandi, abbiamo detto che o è +inf o è -inf
puoi spiegarmi bene il ragionamento che hai fatto?
no vabbè ho sbagliato perchè ho ragionato in modo più che altro generico, in questo caso da sx tende a +inf e da dx a -inf

hey guys, i tried u-sub and it didn't work, i guess integration by parts will not work also, so how can i solve it
how can i simpilify those exponents
The hard way would be to expand it using the binomial theorem
the easy way?
Let me think, just a minute
Take 1/X outside try subbing 7+ 1/x=t
Or something similar to that
why not factor x^3 out of the parenthesis
i guess i found it, there is an amazing exponent rule i found
you will get $\int \frac{(7x^2+8)^7}{x^{16}} \dd{x}$
Ann
but is it true or not idk
is that true, like can i solve it using that way? @tropic oxide
this is badly written
we will just use this rule, then we will get (7x-7)^5 then we will use u-sub and the final answer will be 1/42 (7x-7)^6 + C
$\frac{1}{42}(7x-7)^6 + C
$\frac{1}{42}(7x-7)^6 + C$
just be ok

Filga
if n=0 then sin^2x = 0
nah, not x=0, i mean the case for n=0
what is the expression inside the sum when n=0
-1/2
1/2-1/2=0 that was what i said first
here
hold up
are you sure about this
your formula gives f(0) = 0 just as it should be
yes i checked the unswer even in wolfram
answer* ?
yes
,w sum[n=0, infty] (-1)^(n+1) * 2^(2n-1)/(2n)! * x^(2n)
,w 1/2 + sum[n=0, infty] (-1)^(n+1) * 2^(2n-1)/(2n)! * x^(2n)
yes
your answer is correct
1/2 - 1/2 cos(2x) is sin^2(x)
well, if i google for Maclaurin series for sin²(x), we will have the starting n=1 instead of 0, if that's what you mean
this is "same as yours but without the 1/2"
yeah, it starts from k=1 and not from k=0 like yours!
so you were wrong to say that the correct answer was the same as yours minus the 1/2 !
are you tripping or am i tripping?
latter
it starts from k=1 and not from k=0 like yours!
it's you.
ah
when k =1 the result will be x^2/2 right ?
ok ok i get this my first therm is 0 and then comes x^2/2

So I got the answer, but I still kinda dont understand the question
I just found the extreme point, it was obvious what I had to do
But what does it mean by x>0?
It’s just clarifying like
When you go to solve 1/x-6=0
You only have to care about x>0 because ln(x) in your original function only takes on positive values of x anyways
Which is weird that it says this because 1/x-6=0 only has a positive solution anyways but like if it was something else like x^2=9 then it’d matter and you’d only take x=3 (and not x=-3)
Ahh I think I get you
Cause the answer can only be positive
Makes sense
Oke thats all I was wondering haha
Thank you!

why does (1 2) and the 3-cycles generate S6?
is this a "i don't know what's going on" or a "i think this is false" type of question from you?
Sn is generated by the transpositions (1, 2), (1, 3), . . . ,(1, n)
or (1 2) and (1 2 ... n)
ok right
so heres the idea
given a subset S of a group G,
if we have another set S' for which it's known that S' generates G,
and we show that every element of S' can be generated from S,
then we'll know that S generates G too
do you agree with this idea?
yes
ok right
so from this
im gonna show you how to generate (1 i) for any i ∈ {3,4,5,6} using (1 2) and the 3-cycles
(1 i) = (2 i j) (1 2) (2 j i)
where j is a number distinct from 1, 2 and i

What about $1 - 2\sqrt3$?

That’s negative
Can you simplify that?
So a number in a modul can’t be negative right
A module can't be negative, yeah
If the number inside is negative, you just put - in front of it

Is the answer 3 ?

I've got here $[\infty \cdot 0]$, but I don't see right away what else could be done

How did you get that $\frac{x^{5/4}}{x^{2/3}}=x?$

daaaamnnn, used sympy cause wanted to do it faster xDD 😂
lemme correct it, one moment

still, no idea what to do next
I mean, I could possibly try to subtract two fractions, but I'm not sure anything fruitful will appear from that

@halcyon granite Has your question been resolved?
@halcyon granite Has your question been resolved?
hello! do you still need help with your question? @halcyon granite
hi!
yep
ok, lemme check your steps first, it'll take a bit of time
looks good except a small typo, anyways
well, maybe the steps are correct, but they lead nowhere 😆
yea, that's what I'm struggling with too right now😆
but this seems to be working ig
huh?
if writing the whole thing is tedious, just try to write the numerator out and see what happens
in the numerator we'll maaaybe get something decent, but the denominator will be just a mess
but things will be cancelled out since tou made some nice 1/x 's
I'll work on it right now, let's see if i can something
hmmm
still thinking if there's any other way
do you know if the answer is infinity or 0?
nope, but I can ask wolfram
,w lim_(x -> +infty) x^(5/4) ( (x+1)^(1/3) + (x-1)^(1/3) - 2 * x^(1/3) )
hmmm
I mean, maybe the whole idea of separating $-2\sqrt[3]{x}$ as two $\sqrt[3]{x}$ was in the wrong direction..
Sweet Tea 🧋
hmmm
i remember i have done similar stuff before
i kinda get it now
lemme type it out, it'll be tedious
Let $a=\sqrt[3]{x+1}$, $b=\sqrt[3]{x}$, and $c=\sqrt[3]{x-1}$.
Then $\sqrt[3]{x+1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1}-2\sqrt[3]{x}$ becomes $a-2b+c$.
Biscuity
let's start with these
from the 2nd line of this we have,$$a-2b+c$$
$=\frac1{a^2+ab+b^2}-\frac1{b^2+bc+c^2}$
Biscuity
please don't mind the format, I'm lazy 😆
hmm, and the denominator looks like a part of $(a^3-b^3)$
Sweet Tea 🧋
and $(b^3-c^3)$ accordingly
Sweet Tea 🧋
by finding common factors, we have,
$$\frac{c^2+bc-a^2-ab}{(a^2+ab+b^2)(b^2+bc+c^2)}$$
which is equal to
$$\frac{(c-a)(a+b+c)}{(a^2+ab+b^2)(b^2+bc+c^2)}$$
Biscuity
now, we break this $c-a$ into
$$\frac{c^3-a^3}{c^2+ca+a^2}$$
which is just
$$\frac{-2}{c^2+ca+a^2}$$
Biscuity
now we have $a-2b+c$ equals to $$\frac{(a+b+c)}{(a^2+ab+b^2)(b^2+bc+c^2)(c^2+ca+a^2)}$$
