😭
because I don't know measure theory
i am familiar with young's inequality though
There're multiple proves on wikipedia, and none of them use Holder's inequality, because otherwise it would be circular reference
we are proving holder's inequality right?
but I don't understand the statement of holder's inequality because I don't know measure theory
I got the basic idea but like..
It's this (in a special case) #help-13 message
isn't my inequality a special case of holder's inequality?
I don't follow
Of course the general form requires measure theory and looks like this:
yep that's the part that scares me lol
okay
so you mean to say that I can in some way adapt the proof they've given to prove this inequality directly?
instead of using the measure theoretic stuff
yep
This proof can be adapted for your case, I can help with that
okay then
that's what I wanted, thanks
for our purposes S = R
I assume
so okay the step where they integrated
instead we want to sum
so $\sum_{i=1}^n |x_i y_i|\le\frac1{p}\sum_{i=1}^n |x_i|^p + \frac1{q}\sum_{i=1}^n |y_i|^q$
kheerii
so if we can prove $\frac1{p}\sum |x_i|^p\le\left(\sum |x_i|^p\right)^{1/p}$ we'd be done
kheerii
but this does not seem true
hey I don't know what to do next lol
One sec I was adapting the first part
yeah
And here we seentially have $\sum_{i=1}^n |x_i y_i| \le \frac{1}{p}\lVert x\rVert_p^p + \frac{1}{p}\lVert y\rVert_q^q = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$
What??
EQUENOS
Yeah that's the part that I didn't understand
Are we basically scaling all the values of xi and yi so that the sum of (xi)^p = 1?
yes
Hmm, alright...
After scaling both x and y the inequality stays unchanged
I suppose we can scale the quantities because the inequality is homogeneous
Yeah
Okay now it makes sense
Turns out I was just intimidated by the measure theory stuff
Basiclaly we divided the inquality by $\lVert x\rVert_p \lVert y \rVert_q$
EQUENOS
indeed
So it's the young's inequality which is really important here
exactly
That's where the 1/p + 1/q = 1 thing comes from
Because I always found that super weird
I don't understanf thr motivation for this at all though like how and why did people think of this
Surprisingly this relation plays a fundamental role in functional analysis
how so?
There're so-called Banach spaces and dual spaces
oh I've heard of a dual space before
Banach spaces constitute a reasonable generalisation of finite-dimensional vector spaces with a norm
interesting
(bascially)
And there's probably the most used class of examples of banach spaces: so-called $l_p$-spaces
EQUENOS
it is not lol
hmm
I can't wait to study all this stuff
it sounds really cool
would this fall under abstract algebra?
You probably spotted a familiar sum here
And then mathematicians were like "hold on what's the dual of l_p"
Yeah it's l_q
yeah sorry
Yep the dual space of X is the space of all continuous linear functionals on X
Usually that falls under functional analysis
In some universities that might pop up in real analysis
I don't understand this stuff yet 
i haven't studied it at all lol sorry
oh that's okay
ah okay
Does jee involve linear algebra btw?
not much lol
we were taught basic manipulations with matrices and determinants and some vector algebra but that's about it
Oh that's enough to understand basic examples of dual spaces
I have encountered them once before
In a finite-dimensional euclidean space any linear function is just f(x) = (p, x) for some vector p
Here ( - , - ) is the dot-product and x is a vector
All such functions form a space which is called the dual space
yes
In finite-dimensional spaces this is incredibly boring
Becuase it's just R^n
But in infinite-dimensional spaces it's not so trivial
I think I came across an example where I created like a dual basis for a set of three vectors
in terms of their scalar triple product and stuff
let me see if I can find it
It helps with defining some useful topologies, for example
But that's another story
Yeah that looks like a dual basis
but how is this a basis for the space we defined above?
like how are three vectors in R^3 making up a basis of the dual space
you said the dual space was a space of functionals
It's not quite the basis, but there's a natural isomorphism that sends these vectors to the dual basis
Basically we say that f(x) = (a', x), g(x) = (b', x), h(x) = (c', x)
f, g and h act like a basis of the dual space
ohh okay, so then these three functions make up the basis
alrighty
it also makes sense why we define these vectors like this then
because i believe f g and h turn out to be orthogonal vectors
We achieved f(a) = 1, f(b) = 1, f(c) = 1
a, b, c were not orthogonal so likely not
f(a)=1, f(b)=f(c)=0
g(b)=1, g(a)=g(c)=0
h(c)=1, h(a)=h(b)=0
yep
ooh but this means that a vector v in R^3 can be written as f(v)a'+g(v)b'+h(v)c'
right?
f(v)a + g(v)b + h(v)c

Let v = x a + y b + z c and use linearity of f, g, h
f(v)=x, g(v)=y, h(v)=z
oh yeah of course
my bad
okay that's kind of awesome actually
i'm still trying to wrap my mind around this stuff
it's so confusing but so satisfying when you get it
Yeah that's the beauty of learning mathematics :)
if you don't mind can you give me another concrete example of a dual space?
Hm we can try a finite-dimensional space with a different norm
sure :)
Let's say $\lVert x\rVert = \sum_{i=1}^n |x_i|$
EQUENOS
That's so-called l1-norm
oh it's the same as the l_p we saw before
yes
are linear functions not continuous by design?
Continuous means that f^{-1}(open set) is open
Generally they're not
Trying to remember some stuff, 1 sec
all good
One can verify that the space of linear functions on a finite-dimensional space is also finite-dimensional
Because it's enough to define a linear function on basis vectors
but does it necessarily have the same dimension?
The interesting part is what's the norm on the dual space
For finite-dimensional spaces, yes
hmmmmmm
Because we can construct the dual basis
Basically, if v1, ..., vn is the basis of X
Then let f_k(vk) = 1, 0 on other basis vectors
yep
is it necessarily that it has to be 1 or is that just some normalisation
so that something like this holds?
yes
alright that makes sense
Next we can prove that f_1, ..., f_n are linearly independent
(assuming you know what that means)
I do
splendid
I mean, intuitively it makes sense that these are lin. ind. but I do not know how I'd even start trying to prove that
Suppose there exists some non-zero tuple of coefficients c_k such that
c1 f1 + ... + cn fn = 0
Substitute v1 to both sides:
c1 = 0
Substitute v2 to both sides, etc.
c1 = c2 = ... = cn = 0
Contradiction
So the dimension is at least n
and assuming the dimension of the original space and the dual space is the same this must be a basis
On the other hand, every linear function f can be represented as f = a1 f1 + ... + an fn and therefore the dimension is at most n
yes
f(v1) = a1, f(v2) = a2, ... and that's how we find all ak
Anyways, currently we once again arrive at a boring dual space. It's of the same dimension
lmaoooo
However we can find the norm
do we not need the basis first?
nah
oh?
Well, we have it anyways
.
So the interesting part here is what's the norm in X*, given that X is endowed with l1-norm
By definition, $\lVert f\rVert = \sup{|f(x)| \ : \ \lVert x\rVert \le 1}$
EQUENOS
okie
are we assuming an n dimensional X?
Yes
And we already proved that dimX* = dimX
yes
wait it'll just be the largest coefficient
exactly
how is that a norm what?
That's so-called $l_\infty$-norm
EQUENOS
$\lVert f \rVert_\infty = \max|f_i|$
EQUENOS
yep
but why choose this norm specifically
That's the special case of operator norm
There's a very natural way of endowing the space of operators with a norm
oh I think I've seen that
It looks almost identical to this
$$\norm{f}=\min{c: \norm{f(x)}\le c\norm{x}\ \forall x\in X}$$
kheerii
something like this?
well yes
does a norm not have to be non-negative anyways?
hmm alright
thank you so much for giving me a mini lesson on dual spaces 
and for answering the original question lol
You're welcome :)
looking at the wiki it seems like you are right, the infinite dimensional case is much more interesting
since the dual space has higher dimension than the original space
They're both infinite-dimensional but behave differently
the dual space is isomorphic to F^A, where F is the field the original vector space was over, and A is the indexing set of a countable basis of V
that's cool
the first thing is what we just proved yes?
We proved that in a very special case
They're talking about a more general thing
(Which is amazingly also true)
yeah under any measure
L_p spaces are functional spaces
i don't get what the second thing is trying to say
The main point here is that (L_inf)* \neq L_1 as one might hope
LOL
the dual space of a dual space giving the original space
that would be funny
almost seems like it should be true
(L_2)** = L_2
(yay)
In fact, L_2 is almost too amazing to exist (it's a separable hilbert space)
Yes, if 1 < p < inf
woahh
yes
is this fact related to the inequality we were talking about initially?
Since interchanging p and q doesn't change anything conceptually, (L_p)** = L_p
very cool
yep, that's called being reflexive
so here considering $X$ to have $l_p$ norm we would have $$\begin{aligned}
\norm{f}&=\sup{|f(x)|:\sum |x_i|^p\le 1}\
&=\sup{|\sum a_ix_i|:\sum |x_i|^p\le 1}\
\end{aligned}$$
yep
Using the dual basis we can certainly obtain something
Oh and triangle inequality
I'm just kind of confused about what f looks like here lol
a1 f1(x) + ... + an fn(x)
I think we need to find the basis
yes, but what is f1(x)?
Where fk(vj) = delta(k,j)
hmm
Where {vj} is the basis of X
(so x = x1 v1 + ... + xn vn)
kheerii
okay yeah this just follows from Holder's now
neat
$$\begin{aligned}
|\sum a_ix_i|&\le\sum |a_ix_i|\
&\le\left(\sum |a_i|^q\right)^{1/q}\left(\sum |x_i|^p\right)^{1/p}\
&\le\left(\sum |a_i|^q\right)^{1/q}\end{aligned}$$ so $X^*$ has $l_q$ norm
kheerii
a1=x1=1, ai=xi=0
lol it's alright
it's just from when equality holds in the normal holder's inequality, so it should be right
thank you so much once again!!
your help is much appreciated

hi
hi
I need someone to correct me in this
this gotta be false right?
dosent the function need the intervals to have same value
Are you familiar with Roulle's Theorem?
kind of yeah
yeah i am kinda confused..
if its mvt it has to be flase then
I think you are right, that this is not always the case e.g. f(x) is strictly decreasing in [-2,0]
yeah i think so as well. idk still confused
just to make sure i put it in ai 😂
chat gpt says false gemini says true
im like bro 🤣
F’(x)=0 x in [-2,0]
ye
the second condition is not met, so the statement is not necessarily true

so, this is probably stupid, but I'm not sure how to interpret this question:
Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon's surface, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. (a) To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the Moon be determined, if this time can be measured to 0.100 ns?
could anyone help me with understanding how I give an "accuracy in meters"?
im guessing it has to do with sig figs?
well, even then, that's 10 sig figs and the answer I'm getting, (c*2.5)/2=374740572.5m, is only 10 digits total
well ok the laser travels at speed c alright
what distance does the laser travel in 0.100ns then ?
0.0299792458m
how is 0.100 10 sif figs?
ns is 10^-9 s
you would choose the least amount of sig figs in the quesiton
i'm just guesssing but it maybe means between 0.01499 and 0.04497 it gets rounded to 0.029979
so you can trust one digit after decimal?
0.1 m
are there options?
there are not options, it's a blank input field
well 10 sigdigs is also 0.1 m
in 0.100ns the two zeros are to be trusted too
ah
that's how I understand it at least
of course
0.001 m then
idk
well ok, i guess it's what cka said
minimum between inifintite digits and 12
0.000000000001 m?
so confusing
actually it makes no sense that two zeroes count
why do you have those huge changes
like this answer is correct
is there a unit? m? sig figs? digits?
it's just a question of which accuracy you give
well the two zeroes are just a way to report accuracy essentially
0.1ns vs 0.100000ns have very different tolerances
they don't matter
they do matter. they are significant
why not say 0.001 then
bc its not 0.001 its 0.100.
not 0.101, 0.105, 0.111 --> its 0.100
0.0299792458m makes sense, i can live with that, but it's ignoring the two zeroes
i didn't save it
half of what i thought
from my good friend ChatGPT
still the zeroes don;t matter
we'll know when OP inputs something ig
the problem is it rounded the speed of light
if it didn;t would this answer have around 10 digits?
but 0.100ns only has 3 digits precision as we argued before
so assuming the question gives a shit about sig figs, the answer should have 3 digits precision then
no i don't buy that
i can't explain why they say 0.100 instead of 0.1
but it's the increment, it doesn't have an additional precision to it
yeah that could make sense also
the only question is whether OP's answer grading program is a sig fig hardass or not
@quaint scarab Has your question been resolved?
@crimson sedgeask it to use the exact speed of light
I've now tried .149 and it's counted as wrong
.149 is wrong in any case
you would round to 0.15
(i don't know if it's 0.150)
i would try 0.15
sorry, input -8 by mistake and didn't notice, not -9, answer is .015m
ok
now to figure out part b....
i just noticed chatgpt messed it up the second time
ehh, might need help with this part too...
(b)
What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the Moon is 3.84*10^8 m?
uh
initial thought was to treat .015 as the top difference value and perform (0.015/3.84*10^8)
bottom value? it's already the average distance
not becuase of the roundtrip
i would do this
wait wait
"top difference" is half of that
so yeah i guessed right
or at least your instinct was the same
or i misunderstood
so we agree it should be (0.015/3.84*10^8)?
cool
appreciate all your help everyone, very weirdly phrased question I hadn't had to deal with yet, so I was a bit lost haha

This is what I initially got stuck on
Trying to figure out Cot (22.5) without a calculator. I’m trying to do 1/tan(45/2) but I’m stuck in how to get the answer of Root square 2 +1
Perhaps something like this could work?
Wouldn’t it be Rad2/2? since it’s 45 degrees
Do you want the final answer?
I have the final answer.
A/2 is 22.5° so A is 45°
Yeah I am confused
Ok my calculator does show that this makes the final answer. How would I solve it algebraically?
Strike out the 4 then multiply with conjugate of √(2-√2) which is √(2+√2)
I confirmed with a friend that my answer is correct
I have no idea. I’m just trying to get to the key answer lmao
Okay , so what are you confused with?
The algebra mainly
Did you try this?
To solve this
@languid cypress Has your question been resolved?
Where did this 4-2 come from? When you moved the 2 from beneath the square root it counted as a power of 2 to multiply the 2 -> 4 and remove the square root on the other 2?

Why would this not be even?
if you plug in -x
you get -x^2sin(-x)
which cancels out to get back to x^2sinx
$(-x)^2 = x^2$
Azyrashacorki
When I do x^4 it wants me to take it as -x^4
Wouldn't -x^4 also equal x^4
what?
what?
A function is even if $f(x)=f(-x)$ for every $x$ in the domain. $f(1)=\sin 1$ but $f(-1)=-\sin 1$, so it cannot be even.

Suppose that m and p are real numbers for which the polynomial
f(x) = x^2 + mx + p
has two distinct positive real roots. Prove that the polynomial
g(x) = x^2 - (m^2 - 2p)x + p^2
has two distinct positive real roots
Hi, I ended up using vieta's formula to set m and p equal to the roots, then I subbed in those roots into the B and C terms for g(x), and found the discriminant which I got R_1^4 - 2r_1^2r_2^2 + r_2^4
can someone confirm
don't you just want to show that $(m^2 - 2p)^2 - 4p^2 > 0$ given that $m^2 - 4p > 0$
south, just south
yeah you've massively overcomplicated the problem
could you show me a simpler process?
this is the simplest
just use the fact the discriminants have to be > 0
I used the method from gpt lol
thats why it got so complicated
DO NOT TRUST GPT
is the method that GPT uses still correct?
I have no interest in reading through GPT anyways to see if it's correct
GPT suggested a horribly inefficient method
you do not need to find the roots of f(x) explicitly to do this problem

There are only one pair of values.
Use the factor theorem.
i am getting -23
i dont know whether it is correct
i am not sure
If (x-a) | f(x), then f(a) = 0
of what?
a or b?
?
a = -23
well
a = 23
and b = -14
1 sec
wdym
yup
,w substitute x = 2 in x^3 - 10x^2 + ax + b
,w solve {2a+b-32=0} and {a+b-9=0}

Hello!
I am trying to learn how to see what kind of infinite series I am analyzing
I think 2 is a geometric series
11-14 is telescoping like the instructions say
but i dont know what the ones to the power of n are called
geometric
and is 2 also geometric?
yes
Closed by @crisp halo
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
everything else seems to be either geometric or a sum of 2 geometric series
if you do some appropriate manipulations
✅
Hello again!
I am stuck on 3.
I don’t understand how to see what r or a is
also i dont understand how to get it into the form so that the power says n-1
$\frac{1}{(2 + \pi)^{2n}} = (2 + \pi)^{-2n} = ((2 + \pi)^{-2})^n$
kaue

I have to solve it, dont have any certain idea
you could start by saying 2^2x instead of 4^x
idk might not help much
yea, but what next...
noticing 10 is 5 * 2 might help a bit too!
okey, maybe it's stupid question but after deviding like that what I should do with a "x"
it should be like (5*2)^x
or what
You can then write that as 2^x * 5^x, and if you spot it, you can turn this into a quadratic (in)equation if you e.g. divide by something "nice" 
(a^x)*(b^x)=(ab)^x
Chartbit is talking about substitution
so he will let (a^x) be another variable so that this equation is easier to solve
(you can and may find it easier to substitute, but what you'd make your "substitution" for probably isn't integer!)
a is a variable
so what do you think should be this a term
and how should we manipulate the equation so that it is easier to substitute this variable
I think I should do something with 2^x
but I'm not sure
ah
omg I'm so stupid with this example
it kills me
Think of it as you are learning, not that you are stupid
look at chartbit's hint, the "substitution isn't an integer
or you could use two variables
I think
yea, it`s a good way to think about it and I'm trying to
Stealing the previous hint, you effectively have as your inequality
[
2^{2x} - 2\cdot 5^{2x} < 2^x \cdot 5^x
]
if that helps any more...
@cerulean sail
so what are your variables that you will substitute?
em 2^x and 5^x?
good
we'll denote 2^x as a and 5^x as y
so
what would this make our equation
I'll help you out
we can denote 2^2x as (2^x)^2
because of the identity (a^bc)=(a^b)^c
so what would we write our equation as?
so it's gonna be a^2 - y^2 -(a*y)>0?
I have a follow up question after he’s done
I don;t get this one, it is from where?
sorry, I forgot the negative
the term is (-2*5^2x)
which we can denote as (-2*5^x^2)
We get a^2-ab-2b^2<0
oh okey I get it now
sorry I had a brain fart
what is the first step in solving this?
good
we can XD?
another thing we can try is factoring
what's that
no
we can factor the equation
not as (a-b)^2
but as (a-2b)(a+b)
do you get how I got here?
.
so it need to be in our
how we can say that in english
omg
good
formula?
My original suggestion was more that e.g. if you divide through the $2^{2x} - 2\cdot 5^{2x} < 2^x \cdot 5^x$ by, say, $5^{2x}$, you then get $\qty(\frac25)^{2x} - 2 < \qty(\frac25)^x$, from where you could, say, substitute $u = \qty(\frac25)^x$ and solve the resulting quadratic inequality, making note that you must therefore have $u > 0$
@cerulean sail
ok so now (a-2b)(a+b)<0
oh
Since you know how to do it chartbit's way
I"ll just show you my way
If (a-2b)(a+b)<0, then -b<a<2b
or
-5^x<2^x<2*5^x
If you divide by 5^x
you get
-1<(2/5)^x<2
and if you use a log, then 0<x
Hope that helps!
may i ask a question rq?
sure
the answer should be something like that, sorry for not showing it before, I didn't see it
how is (a*b)^x equal to
yes
a^x *b^x?
um
it's something like x^a*x^b=x^ab
but with the bases
I was just taught the formula and not how to derive ti
oh i might just be dyslexic
for some reason i thought you were saying (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2
do you understand how to get the answer nwo?
lol you're good
wdym?
like how do you know when it’s just b squared versus ab squared
tbh? no...
ok
so we go back to the part where (a+2b)(a-b)<0
do you understand how we get -b<a<2b?
It's (a^2)(b^2)
ok
so when we substitute out the variables, we get
-5^x<2^x<(2^x)*5^x
dividing by 5^x, we get that -1<(2/5)^x<2^x
sorry I mis-substituted the variable
to isolate the x, we put a log(2/5) on all terms
However, logs can't be negative, so that means that 0<x
also, we know the limit of log(2/5)of 2^x goes to infinity eventuall
so it's like 0<x<infinity
ok. I agree and then?
okey, I undestand it, don't worry

how am i wrong bro
You got the height, what’s the width?
what
e^4 + e^4.5 will tell you the sum of the heights, but we want the sum of the areas
i dont get it
We go from e^4 to e^4.5 when we split it in half, then e^4.5 to e^5 like you correctly identified. But this is only half of the work. We’re finding the areas of the rectangles, not just the heights
So, each rectangle is that tall, but what’s the width of the rectangle?
Yep

@sacred socket Has your question been resolved?
@sacred socket Has your question been resolved?
hello
i’m here to help
This is just a kinematics questions, so we can neglect the mass here
(for A)
@sacred socket so what i’m looking at is that you were only calculating the time it was taking to only go up
not up and down
Also, are they counting for sig figs?
I don't think significant figures matters.
I got a similar answer
but I think maybe just use more digits just like you did with the 2nd one
18.32390191 is a good approximation
Thanks for the help.

Hey I'm trying to prove that |zw|=|z||w| with the exponential form of complex numbers. Here's the supposed solution:
Isn't this self-referential? (step 4 separating one magnitude into two products)
@simple torrent Has your question been resolved?
Did your class already prove the absolute value for polar forms of complex numbers
@simple torrent Has your question been resolved?
Think so, it's just the r right
sqrt(r^2(sin^2+cos^2))=sqrt(r^2)=r
If r>=0
they use the property |az| = |a||z| for real a, complex z, which can be shown independently
Yea so just use this for rs and exp(...)

how is is 5,10
for context, u have to derivate these functions and equal each to 0 or 10
so for second equation, dy/dx=10 and I have to solve for t
so wouldnt it be
10t - 50 = 10
10t = 10 + 50
10t = 60
t=6
Why r u setting it equal to 10 if your looking for critical points
heres the full answer
I think those points are (x, y), following the parameterized functions
5t^2 - 50t + 83 -> 10t - 50 = 0 => t = 5, given x = t, y = 0 therefore (5, 0)
483 + 5t^2 - 50t -> 10t - 50 = 0 => t = 5 given x = t, y = 10 therefore (5, 10)
10t^2 - 60t + 83 -> 20t - 60 = 0 => t = 3 given x = 0, y = t therefore (0, 3)
83 + 10t^2 - 60t -> 20t - 60 = 0 => t = 3 given x = 10, y = t therefore (10, 3)
This is what I noticed, the (t, f) {as I am calling the output f here} is going to be (t, 0) but then consider the parameters. Is this not what is going on?
I was gonna say the next step has f(x, y) and uses those points meaning they have to be (x, y), not (t, whateva)

Help me understand 2 math subjects.
Why?
I do not understand and Youtube doesn't help me (My opinion but I will try again if you suggest). I also have a quiz tomorrow with these 2 subjects.
What subjects?
General Chemistry - Alkanes & Cycloalkanes (Naming ang Drawing Line and Structural Formula)
Mathematics - geometry and data sufficiency
Which do you prefer to start first?
