@old dirge i kinda have a problem since both p0 and p3 are equal to -4
there can be two global minimum ? @old dirge
oh, so can i say p(3)=p(0) =-4 >= p(x) for every x in the interval [0,4]
?
I have a question I am in 9th
yeah ig

Can someone tell me all the things I need to relearn from alg and geo and what I need to MOST importantly learn for alg 2, I was the dumbest kid in all my math classes and I never really understood anything and Im rlly anxious cause Im a freshmen and people r just gonna see me as a dumb kid

,tex Find the area of a loop of the curve $r = \alpha \sin 3\theta$
cat
im not very familiar with polar coordinates so i can't exactly start solving this. can someone help :(
sub 0 to r to get the upper and lower limits of the loop
Do you know the Identity for area with polar coordinates?
Can either prove it from x y coordinates or just take it from your course and use it
this formula $\frac{1}{2}\int_{a}^{b} r^2 ,d\theta$
Or prove it as a reimann sum
឵឵MxRgD
Like think of it as instead of dividing into rectangles we divide into sectors
after that you use those upper and lower limits for a and b in the formula shown
@marsh flare, are you here?
1/2 r^2 dθ is formula of sector
And this is basically the sum of all of them from the starting till the last angle θ we are calculating over

Linear algebra question.
I've come to the following thought, and I want to confirm it:
If we have a vector space R^n, then any basis of that vector space, say B={e1,...,eN}, can be made into a change-of-basis matrix by using those basis vectors e1,...,eN as the columns of a matrix M. That matrix M converts vectors expressed in basis B into vectors expressed in the standard basis. Conversely, matrix M^-1 converts from vectors expressed in the standard basis, into ones expressed in basis B.
The crux of the question is that any basis of R^n can be used in this manner.
Is this correct?
that sounds right to me
Yeah, that's the standard basis change procedure
Also note the given matrix will always be invertible, and thus its associated linear application will be bijective
Which is why basis changes "leave the space as is"
Note, however, that your procedure will transform vectors in the basis B to vectors in the canonical basis
The opposite procedure will require you to compute the inverse of M
Cool. Thank you, both. This basis business is slowly starting to make sense.
🙂

I am confused what they mean by D with the arrow on top and how let get that equation for D,
I thought they mean a vector to the point D, but then I am not sure why the equation is true,
wherever the origin is
from which you calculate the vecotrs
vectors
if you add those fractions of B and C up together
you will get D
<@&268886789983436800>
Wouldn’t it be vector C minus vector B?
Oh wait no,
in geogebra
i would give you the file but i don't know how to share it so it works
if you wanna interact with it you can write these out
(Pardon my childish language I don’t know the formal names for theses things)
If I walk along B, and I want to get point D, don’t I have to walk in the direction of BC? How can start at B, walk in the direction of C and get to D ?
that's one way of getting to D
imagine it this way
you want to walk to D
so you walk 9/13th of the way to B
and then from there you walk 4/13th of the way to C
mathematicians talk this way
you're fine
in the sense that you take the walk from the origin
and the walks to B or C don't change after you start walking
A walk is a sequence v_0, e_1, v_1, ..., v_k of graph vertices v_i and graph edges e_i such that for 1<=i<=k, the edge e_i has endpoints v_(i-1) and v_i (West 2000, p. 20). The length of a walk is its number of edges. A u,v-walk is a walk with first vertex u and last vertex v, where u and v are known as the endpoints. Every u,v-walk contains a u...
add B' and C' together
first walk along B'
then walk along C'
you will get to D
Ahhhhh, this makes sense,
But how do you find the coefficients?
Why 9/13 and 4/13?
DB and DC are in a proportion of 4:9
Yes?
and so if you want the smallest whole number lengths of them
you will make DB 4
4cm
4 inch
4 unit
and DC 9
and together the length of BC will be 13
Okay?
How does the lengths of BC, BD, and DC tell me about length of vector B?
They are in different directions, the lengths should not be related?
they don't tell you anything about the length of the vector B
just about the relation between the vectors B C and D
in my drawing you can move the origin O around
so the length of B changes
but the relation between B and D doesn't
does that make sense
Kind of,
So I basically want to find the length of the red and blue vector,
But they are not in the say direction as BC, so I don’t understand why the length of BC is related to the lengths of the red and blue?
you can find the coefficients by finding D by going along B to C and vice versa
the red and blue are multiples of B and C
and so they are related to BC
as that is B - C or C - B depending on which direction you care
with the right combination of the red and blue ones
you can find a multiple of B - C
in this case it's 9/13 (B - C)
or 4/13 (B - C)
i can never remember which direction
do remember that you have B + k (B - C)
yes

oh, if f(x) and g(x) have a root in common, alpha
then you know that f(alpha) = g(alpha), and the x^2 term drops out
but yeah the easier way would be to spot (alpha + beta) + (beta + gamma)
I got value of alpha beta gama in terms of lambda
Do I put value of one of the roots in eqn to get value of lembda?

I need help solving for the limit of this function. The exercise offers the solution but what i'm looking for help with is deriving that solution. This exercise comes from a section of a textbook covering the concept of "The Limit Laws" and I've provided a screenshot of the section's outcomes for context. I also included my work and the thinking behind the steps I took:
use direct substitution to obtain an undefined expression of the original function
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{2x^2+7x-4}{x^2+x-2}
$$
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{2(-2)^2+7(-2)-4}{(-2)^2+(-2)-2}
$$
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{8-14-4}{4-4}
$$
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{-10}{0}
$$
Then, simplify the function to help determine the limit.
factoring the numerator
$$
2x^2+7x-4
$$
$$
2x^2-x+8x-4
$$
$$
(2x^2-x)+(8x-4)
$$
$$
x(2x-1)+(2x-1)
$$
$$
(2x-1)(x-1)
$$
factoring the denominator
$$
x^2+x-2
$$
$$
x^2+2x-x-2
$$
$$
(x^2+2x)+(-x-2)
$$
$$
x(x+2)-(x+2)
$$
$$
(x+2)(x-1)
$$
simplifying the function
$$
\frac{(2x-1)(x-1)}{(x+2)(x-1)}
$$
$$
\frac{2x-1}{x+2}
$$
still an undefined expression
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{2x-1}{x+2}
$$
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{2(-2)-1}{(-2)+2}
$$
$$
f'(x)=\lim_{ x \to -2^- } \frac{5}{0}
$$
Tubberware
do you know what $\lim_{ x\to -2^-}$ means?
riemann
also don't use $f'(x)$ unless you actually have the derivative of a function. $f(x)$ is a function of $x$ and you have a limit that's either a number or limit that does not exist
riemann
as x approaches -2 from the "bottom" right?
'left' is a better word than 'bottom'
because the x axis is oriented like
...., -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ....
oh ok so my notation is alluding to the wrong thing, since we aren't looking for the derivative--we are looking for the limit of that function i shouldn't use $f'(x)$ but should use $f(x)$
Tubberware
There is no f defined anywhere
so i'm trying to find what this function approaches as x approaches -2 from the left. and direct substitution doesn't work, even after simplifying. did i miss the point of simplifying in the way i did it? or did i do it wrong? or should i be doing something completely different that still satisfies the suggestion in the problem instructions "simplify the function to determine the limit"
The idea when simplifying for limits is that you can cancel out an (x + 2) and it won't be undefined anymore after direct substitution
If you don't have an x + 2 factor in your factorization, you likely made a mistake somewhere
For example beginning from your fourth line factoring the numerator
so this step contains a mistake?
$$
x(2x-1)+(2x-1)
$$
$$
(2x-1)(x-1)
$$
Tubberware
That too yes but also the step before it
oooooh theres supposed to be an 8 pulled out
4 pulled out
ohhh right right
i'm gonna go back and rework that real fast
or real careful
factoring the numerator (hopefully corrected)
$$
2x^2+7x-4
$$
$$
2x^2-x+8x-4
$$
$$
(2x^2-x)+(8x-4)
$$
$$
x(2x-1)+4(2x-1)
$$
$$
(2x-1)(x+4)
$$
Tubberware
Yep
with that, this function looks like this now and I don't see anything i can do to eliminate the x+2 term:
simplifying the function
$$
\frac{(2x-1)(x+4)}{(x+2)(x-1)}
$$
Wait a sec let me check the calculations again
Tubberware
Yeah looks good
ok cool so now i have a correct "simplified function" i suppose? the solution provided by my book says the limit is $-\inf$
(I just checked because a x + 2 term actually does not factor out)
Yep, now you need to see what this approaches if you approach -2 from the left, which is easier in this factored form
$\dst \frac{(2x-1)(x+4)}{(x+2)(x-1)}$
Surely as x goes to -2, the denominator will go to 0 and the numerator to some constant
You just want to know if this thing will be negative or positive (as you know it will go to either +infinity or -infinity (as it's of the form {-> (nonzero) Const.}/{-> 0}))
So now study each of the factors and determine their sign when very close to -2 from the left
i'm just mulling over that one sec
for a formal exposition
so we simplified it and determined it can't be evaluated with direct substitution, so my next thought would be that we now have something much easier to work with at least and we know that the denominator is going to be approaching 0 and the numerator will be approaching a constant --that for as close as I am getting to -2 from the left the faster this function is approaching infinity? would plugging in -2.001 be the right idea?
Yes, but you really just want to know the signs each of these factors will be having
If for example all of them are positive, you can conclude it's +infinity
So you don't actually need to plug anything in
Just in thought
For example, 2x - 1 will be somewhere around -5 when coming close to -2 from the left, so negative
What about x + 4?
positive 2
0
We care about the sign here though, we don't actually plug in -2 but come very close to it from the left
so will it be very small positively or very small negatively?
e.g. we go x = -2.1, x = -2.01, x = -2.001, ...
I just want to take a step back real quick to see if I am following how to think of this. I get to a factored function, see i can't direct substitute and then i can tell this is approaching infinity of some kind because its undefined, and want to know whether its approaching positive or negative infinity so i do that by looking at the signage of the factors as we approach -2 from the left. plugging in -2 gives us a -10 in the numerator. and is that thorough enough to conclude its approaching negative infinity? or would i need to plugin some of the numbers on the left? e.g. we go x = -2.1, x = -2.01, x = -2.001.
oh i need to plug in from the left in the denominator to be sure about what we are approaching?
the numerator alone isn't enough to conclude what we're approaching
One should think in terms of 'approaching' for all terms by the way when considering limits. The numerator approaching -10 is not enough to conclude this is -infinity. Say the denominator approached 0 from the left too, then the two negative signs would cancel (for every x near -2) and it would give us +infinity
so i could plug something to the left in the denominator and if thats positive, the we are approaching overall a negative infinity
yes
if its negative then the numerator and the denominator both being negative means its overal a positive number and thus we're moving toward a postivie infinity?
Yes
oooooooooooo
i seeeeeeeeeeeeee
thank you so much for working through that with me!!

Hello, can someone help me with this problem? I currently have that doing a move twice on any S_i turns it back into the original form (so, the set can be original or inverted, only two options) and that the order doesn't matter. However, I'm not sure what to do with this information. Thank you!
There are 2^10 possible configurations for transforming the S_i's, but the TA told me that this is an overcount. However, I'm unable to figure out how much of an overcount it is.
yes, but excluding (i, i)
yea this is my thought, but you'd need to invent a procedure to invert just some given j,k
or, show it's not possible
can you elaborate more on this
if there are 2^10 configurations then any of them should be reachable
within 2^10 is any individual square as some color, and everything else the other
unless im miscounting too
so there must be some procedure to invert a single square, and nothing else
wait i am totally misunderstanding
@junior idol isnt this the amsp combi hw from a couple of days ago
?; either way i gave up on this problem 😭

how far did you get?

3rd part
stuck on it for months (1 day,jk)
only thing i got was, max time was 2.5 so total 2.5 and so, it was aove ground for 1 second so .5 below it will give time for h, so 2.5-.5 is 2 so 2 seconds
ik im wrong
What have u tried
this
idk how people can do problems so fast
its like they have a secret
ok
im in pain
how do you know
what is the question
whaty should i focus on
it just said above h
My particle is above some height for 1 second
So if I draw a horizontal line and only look above it
I should see my particle for exactly 1 second
what do i do? teacher said to form suvat system but i cant
Ya but you need to understand what you’re solving for first
are you saying i should make a graph
A diagram is fine
This is a diagram
yea
If I asked, how long was the particle above 0m
That’s the same as finding how long it was in the air for
hm
If I ask how long was the particle above 1m I’m just moving the floor to 1m
because math
If I ask how long was the particle above 3m I’m moving the floor to 3m
These are this diagram
If it’s any higher than 3m then I don’t start counting until it first goes above this height
so us aying for all those questions, use that diagram
That’s this diagram
Not use that diagram
But draw a diagram for it
Reading the problem then turning it into a diagram is the big skill to learn here
hm so higher, than h,, so must be MAX point or near it and x could be uh 1?
What?
so question said HIGHER so we can use the
Do you agree that if I set h = 0 then the time is 2.5
The particle is above 0m for 2.5s
How did you find 2.5s
Here
Yes but how did you do it
v is 0 coz max height (final velocity) and u is 25, and it is going against gravity so -9.8
0=25+-9.8(t) -> -25/-9.8
=t
uh
im done
wht ti di
yea
can you show that as well
so dispalcement is 20 meters, so , s is 20, u is 25, v is v, a is -9.8, t is? i used s = s_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2., and got t_1\approx0.99\text{ s},\quad
t_2\approx4.11\text{ s}, and noticed that two x values so subtarcted later from first
to get time
where does it say displacement is 20m
there should be 2 t values right
yes
yes
yes
why h-3
well when we wanted to find above 23m we did 23-3 for 20
because the particle starts at 3m
yea
we also have the additional constraint that the 2 roots of t here
need to be 1 unit apart
this means the first time it goes above hm and the 2nd time when it's coming down
ig
the 2 solutions for t will be the 2 timestamps those things happen
we need it to happen 1s apart
so try use that info on the quadratic
so u saying u just replaced displacement thing with h
Yeah I want to find h as a function of t
huh
Do you know about vieta’s formula
nope
It’s otherwise known as the sums and products of roots of a quadratic
It’s very useful in this case!
yay!
The formula says that if I have a quadratic ax² + bx + c
yea
Then the roots multiply to c/a and sum to -b/a
I think
Yes that’s right I just googled it
okay
Now, we know that the 2 roots of t are 1 second apart
So clearly t₁ + t₂ = 2t₁ + 1
If we look here, we see that our quadratic looks like -4.9t₂ + 25t + 3 - h
yea
So we know that 2t₁ + 1 (the sum of the roots) = -b/a = 25/4.9
ye
This immediately tells us what t₁ is
thank you
ill see this tomorrow, its late here
Alright

can someone explain how to do this
i get you can cut it in half and you can cut it again but i want to know how to get the answer
do you understand how $\frac{3}{20}\cdot\frac{6}{6}$ numerically is still equivalent to $\frac{3}{20}$?
Mathemusician
no
ok uh
im sorry
what is $\frac{6}{6}$?
have you learnt about LCM?
Mathemusician
least/lowest common multiple?
ok that's step 1
the realization that x/x for any number x = 1 is step 2
so then, to simplify something like 18/120
eh did i say LCM earlier? i mean GCD
sorry
your fine
aight good!
your job is then just to find the GCD of the top and bottom
so the GCD of 18 and 120 is?
that's a common divisor, but not th greatest
if you say it's 3, then dividing top and bottom by 3 gives you 6 and 40 respectively
there's still a common factor
is there a khan video or something i can view to try to learn from it
but if i may give you a hint, there's a fast way involving prime factorization
assuming you've learnt about that
if you know what prime factorization is and can apply it properly, prime factorize both top and bottom
then just cancel out any number appearing in both sides
(\frac{18}{120}=\frac{2\cdot 3\cdot 3}{2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5})
i'll give you an example to get started
PajamaMamaLlama
so we just take the common and use that to both sides
yep we take the common and remove them from top and bottom that's exactly right :)
do you think you could repeat that exericse for this fraction?
yea
(oh 4 isn't prime 😅 that's my bad but exercise still reamins the same, prime factor it then cancel)
if you see the thing can go in 3 time and 1/3 if you remove everything
but im guessing i don't really know but it seems easy to catch that one
could you elaborate a little more on what exactly you mean here? 
and im really sorry
if you can't explain in words, you can draw it out
btw no need to be sorry when learning, backwards thinking thought

but beside that i really have no idea what going on
can you give me one that isn't easy to catch that pattern?
1/3 is the "smallest" though (as in, most reduced)
91/143
i think that 79 is prime
bruh

79 is prime. the only way you can cancel here is if the other number is a multiple of 79
sorry very late rn
91 famously looks prime but isn't
ok so far i got it's a odd number because 1 part
did you accidentally hit enter too early

convoluted question: if I have a Matrix A which is similar to a rotation matrix, then could I find A^n easily, like a diagonal matrix, or no?
If you can write that similarity out, then yes!
As (PRP')ⁿ = PRⁿP'
Where I'm using ' for inverse
does this property hold for all similar matrices... or only diagonalisable ones? im kinda confused

ever heard of euler line?
It's a line that pass through circumcenter, orthocenter and centroid
Ahh,
I see I see,
I still don’t see I how proves this?
(But I am also very tired lol)
OA+OB+OC=3OG+GA+GB+GC ( G is centroid
Where does the 3OG come from?
OOOHHHHH
Okay this makes sense,
And 3OG + GA + GB + GC = H?
Just do some manipulation and you will see, it's a basic problem from vector chapter
Igtg
sorry
Okay,
I think I am very tired I will go to bed now and think more tomorrow lol,

Find vertex?
Domain and range
Oh
So what have u concluded so far
I understand it but what i dotn understand is how it became like -2{1/4}^2
Yup i know
Oh waitt
Ohhhh
I think i know what i missed
Um i also dont know how to find like the range and domain
Like input it
Then what to do?
do you know how to find the maximum of the quadratic?
And also this
Is this correct?
wait what nvm I was right, you do input 1/4 to find the maximum
I misread the quadratic as x^2 + x - 2
I also did
Is this correct?
Yeah the working out is correct I believe
To find the range though, what do you know about the maximum point?
But then how do you put this on like
Wait ill send something
How you put it on like that form
The infinite or something
it shouldn't be an equal sign btw, it should be ≤
Ohhh
for the set notation when you wrote the range
How do you put it like that form
for set notation?
I think you're talking about interval notation instead
Yesss
the interval notation is correct
This thing
it's just the equal sign that's wrong for the range for set notation
They said something about parabola up and down
not sure what you mean
Like if down it would be like ( -infinite,N ). But if open it would be like ( N , infinite)
Im not sure if thats the right way
How to know if like Less than or Greater than sign
for (-infinite,N) it means you can use all values up to N while (N, infinite) means you can use all values above N
depends on the quadratic
Howww
it's in the form of ax^2 + bx + c
if the a is negative you are finding the maximum
if the a is posistive you are finding the minimum
A is the constant?
But if possitive its greater than
it's greater than or equal, if a is posistive
Ohhhh
it's also important that you include the "or equal too"
Is it like the same thing?
wdym?
Like does it matter if its negative or positive
This is what i mean by up and down parabola
it matters yeah
yeah just look at the 2 and -2
Does it change that?
yes it changes that as well
uncle riggidus ballus

What will change?
it becomes [-17/8, ∞)
if it was a 2 instead from the quadratic we are working with
infima ballus
esentially yeah

actually no that's wrong
It added -2?
there shouldn't be a minus sign on the infinity
for the up parabola
think of it as you approaching bigger values
Oh it is possitive
it doesn't make sense for it to be negative
Oh yeaaaahhhh
our a changed to 2
Does it apply for both range and domain?
yes
well
generally the domain is for all real values of x
in a quadratic
it's the range that alters
So the domain is always like (-infinitely , infinity)
It does not change ever?
We will only put something on range?
Like value
[n, ∞) or (-∞, n] depending on what your minimum or maximum value of n is for the quadratic
also make sure to do ]
the ] adds equal as well
I thought this is only used for range
You will only put it on range
yeah only for the range
So domain depends on range?
I mean like
you know what a domain is right?
domain is your input that you put into the function
If range is like (-Infinty, N]
Then domain is (-infinity, infinity)
yes that is correct
if you wanted to do in interval notation
for the domain
good job 
only the range depends on the quadratic
the domain for the quadratic is consistently going to be (-∞,∞)
What if the Parabola is like Up
Range would be [ N , infinity)
But domain is like (-infinity, infinity) still?
yes but it would be (-∞,∞) just make sure you write [] and () correctly though
Theree
I would only use [] that if there is a value
Like number and not infinity
you only use [] if it's a number that's also equal to it
hope everything is understandable to you now?
It’s just that earlier I didn’t listen to class so idk what to answer lol
Try to pay attention to class or watch videos on youtube
it can be confusing if you miss the info
It is only once
Actually earlier i was trying to solve something that teacher send
Thats why i didnt listen
I tried to solve it on my own but wrong
Ic
yeah you showed this before
I tried to reverse engineer it
you made a help channel in it
Right
Thats why no use of phone
I thought i will just need to find the slope and the y intercept
Since i can just reverse engineer it
not sure what you mean by reverse engineer it
I mean like
The table is not given only 3x - 1
you dind't really answer the question
I made the table thinking that if the y intercept is -1 then, x is 0 then y is negative 1
you were asked to find it's domain and range
I thought the range would be, -7, -4 -1 2 5
No the range would be for all real values of y
And the domain is -2 -1 0 1 2
I thought that is the way
Since its kinda right in some sense
you have to remember that for domain and range, we are looking for all the possible values
that can go in or out of the function
Thats how we do it last time like if the table is given
I think that was for when they given you values of x and you had to workout the outputs of y
I dont think so
hmm, the only thing I could see it is if they had a restricted domain
anyways you should watch a video to get more clarification
The table is given
So i kinda just reverse engineer it
But i guess i was wrong
Anyway i understand it completely thank to you thank youuu

I want to perfect all math exam this upcoming exam
Anyway thanks
Thank you very much mxrgd if that is your name
don't forget to close the help channel btw
it's not my name

Hey so I need to do this without any tools
I've done integration by substitution
u = x^3+28 => du = 3x^2dx
int(1/u du) => F(u) = ln|u|
Now I need to determine the integral from -2 to -3 and give an answer with at least two decimal accuracy.
ln(-2) - ln(-3)
Now I don't know if there's a step I did wrong or a trick to knowing what natural log numbers are, but this seems impossible to do in the head for someone at the supposed start-of-uni level I'm at. Can anyone help me figure this out?
the limits change when you do a u-sub
Oh? In what manner?
at the end you may also use log rules to simplify the calculation
You don’t even need u sub for this really
I'm advised to, as per the assignment, it's a practice in integrals
Recognise that the integrand is in the form $\frac{f’(x)}{f(x)}$ and you immediately know the primitive to be $\ln|f(x)|$
frosst
just plug u into $\ln(u)$
DaveyLovesSocks
so that way you dont have to adjust any bounds
Yeah but you don’t need to do the substitution with the bounds and stuff
It's significantly more confusing when I'm being told to do several things at once, guys
I want a fundamental understanding of the task at hand, integration via substitution, I'm self taught and it's the first time I'm hearing substitution changes the limits, so that is what I'll be focusing on, but thank you nonetheless!
You can watch a video that explains why we change them
essentially all you have to do to change the limits is figure out what u is when x is that value
Ah I see
you have a direct relationship between them
I will go do that, but then it makes sense that I was so confused! I was missing an entire step. Thank you so much :)
When you do integration it actually says $\int_{x=-3}^{x=-2}\frac{3x^2}{x^3 +28},dx$
frosst
So when you do the substitution you need to change the bounds, because implicitly it’s saying to integrate from when x is something to x is something
Yeah it makes a lot of sense! Honestly I'm just knee deep in a lot of studies so I'm a bit slower and faster to seek help, but thank you all for this, I'm very satisfied

In some notes about linear algebra, I'm having trouble with a sentence fragment:
I don't understand that logic jump. I don't understand M being 0 on the right side.
Why does a matrix M having nonzero eigenvalues means that there exist no vector that satisfy that equation? And, where does that equation come from?
M isn't 0 it says that there is no non-zero vector v such that Mv equals the zero vector. It also doesn't say M has no eigenvalues. It says M doesn't have 0 as an eigenvalue.
I agree about this part; I made a mistake in the language: "It also doesn't say M has no eigenvalues. It says M doesn't have 0 as an eigenvalue."
This would make sense to me Mv = 0. But, why the intermediate part Mv = 0v?
That is the definition of an eigenvalue
You're refering to the following, then?
Meaning that the v in that chunk is an eigenvector
and the 0 represents an would-be 0 eigenvalue?

I need help with my inverted pendulum math for my control systems. I need to double check my MATLAB math for converting my systems non linear equations to linear using the jacobian method for my Linear Quadratic Regulator controller.
I mean i could but its still math. the matlab just solves it for me i want to make sure my setup is right and that my equations are accurately simulating my system
yea sure
this is the reference im using here "https://github.com/junggeehoon/Furuta-Pendulum/tree/main" and im using his matlab code to derive the matrices
mine is almost an identical setup, its a rotary inverted pendulum so im trying to see where maybe some discrpencies could be
yea all the more reason to go to a specific channel for computing

do i always need to add a 0 for money?
if the website you're using requires that then yes

but mathematically $53.50 and $53.5 are equivalent
so i wasn't wrong then
In solving decimals, you fill up the empty spaces at the end with 0's
wait how do you know im doing decimals?

ive gotten
tan(pi x ) = -pi x
how to tell what values satisfy
do i plot the graph?
@ember heath Has your question been resolved?
I guess the periodicity becomes the natural numbers so only 1 solution in each interval
but like from my graph im not able to tell properly if it intersects in some places or not
It has to intersect the graph at least once in each period
Note that $f(0)= f(1)$. Apply MVT
wai
Similarly f(n)=f(n+1)= ? ( this will give you your answer), or will atleast help you reduce the number of options
i can apply rolles theorem right
sure
so there will be atleast one f'(x) = 0 in n,n+1
and then find the period of the function which is?( well of the periodic part)
yes
but also note the period of sin(πx)
2?
pi x = 2pi?
oh why not
because of that the values wont repeat right
and there wont be more than 1 value of x
ruling out D
oh ok
MVT uses f to derive result about f' if that's what you are using
oh ok yeah
hi btw
long time
so how can i tell no. of pts where f'(x) = 0
I'm thinking
sketch is prolly easiest
You want to note the intervals on which it's increasing and decreasing I would think
sketch of what? tan (pi x) = -pi x?
xsin(pix)
im not really good with these kinds of sketches.. where there are products involved
Alternatively note that as x>0 whether the function is increasing or decreasing depnds solely on sin(πx)
shouldnt be for x>1?
Why
so what do you notice
it is an even function?
By this, you mean that for x > 0, xsin(pix) is increasing iff sin(pix) is increasing?
yes
that's not true unfortunately
it works for x>1, I think
that'd imply that the extrema of xsin(pix) are at the same x-coords as extrema of sin(pix)
which can easily be verified to be false
fair enough
yes please 😔 or u can help me sketch
you could take the derivative explicitly and then apply sth like IVT instead of using rolles / MVT
explicitly meaning?
aint this a pyq
product rule on xsin(pix)

😔 dont judge me bro
yeah thats what i did lol
tan pi x = - pi x
yeah
okay, cool
if you can graph that, it helps
and crucially, note that tanx grows faster than x, so make sure to draw it like that in your graph
in reality, the tan should be stretched out vertically a bit more
pix is actually a tangent to it
but it doesnt matter that much
im not able to draw the rest of the graph accurately
because of the pi x term
oh wait i do notice things tho
it doesnt need to be accurate
oh yeah im getting B,C as correct
yeah just understood that
well thank u

Find all integers $m \in [-20;20]$ satisfy $$m(1+mx^2)^2-x+1 \geq 0 \forall x \in \mathbb{R}.$$
Alexis_Fx
@opal hinge Has your question been resolved?
for all integer m in set [1;20]
observ that negative m does not satisify because if we plug in x=1 we get m(1+m)^2>=0 which means m has to be positive
trivaly m=0 dose not satisfy
now we prove that for all integer m in set [1;20] satisfy that equation. first notice that the equation is true for all negative x because pos*pos+pos>=0 now we look at case where x>=1 observe that m(1+mx^2)^2>=(1+mx^2)>=x^2>=x-1 at last we look at case where 0<=x<1 , m(1+mx^2)^2-x+1>=m(1+mx^2)^2>=m>=1>=0
qtd
Cool exactly what I'm looking for, I did m(1+mx^2)^2-x+1> m(1+mx^2)-x+1 but that doesn't make any different i guess
Alright thanks:D

Does anyone know an iterative method for presenting tetration results with any index?
For explample:
F_tetration(a; b) = a^^b
lim (c → +∞) Iterative_approximate_F_tetration(a; b; c) = a^^b
Iterative_approximate_F_tetration — recurrent function
@gloomy pewter Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
@gloomy pewter Has your question been resolved?
For example:
F_tetration(2; 3) = 2^2^2 = 16
Iterative_approximate_F_tetration(2; 3; x) = a sequence of numbers where the larger the number X, the closer the result is to the tetration value, namely, it is approaching 16
Now I will ask the question more precisely
Does anyone know an iterative method for presenting exponentiation results with any index of interativity?
For explample:
F_exponentiatio(a; b, c) = a^a^a^...("c" times)...^b
lim (d → +∞) Iterative_approximate_F_exponentiation(a; b; c, d) = a^a^a^...("c" times)...^b
[\left(\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots}}}}_{c;\mathrm{times}}\right)^b]
is this what you're saying? 
PajamaMamaLlama
@gloomy pewter this is what you mean?
pl.ease define "with any index of iterativity" it's not clear what you mean by that
I think OP wants a sequence that converges to a^^b
The number B is at the very top of the power tower
The iterativity index is how many times a function is used in recursion
yes that's what I did, I just placed the parentheses there for ambiguity's sake
But this is incorrect from the point of view of notation, since it will look like a tower of C copies of number A, which is raised to the power B, and this is incorrect, since B is at the very top of the power tower
then I can simply remove the parentheses ({\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots}}}}_{c;\mathrm{times}}}^b)
PajamaMamaLlama
I need to understand what is the real and complex iterativity of exponentiation
Ordinary tetration is the application of an exponent with a certain base A with an iterativity that is equal to the number B. The exponent itself takes one as an argument if it is ordinary tetration. But if it is a nested power tower, then any other number can be used as an argument, and the height of the tower can also be any
a^^b = a^a^a^...("b" times)...^a^1
F(a;b;c) = exp_a^b(c)
[he's found the LaTeX we might acc get somewhere with this]
But.. you know that tetration, like addition and multiplication, is a binary operator, right?
$$F(a; b; c) = {\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots^{b}}}}}_{c\mathrm{times}}}$$
I'm not sure what you're doing that necessarily requires it have 3 inputs...
$$F(a; b; c) = {\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots^{b}}}}}_{\mathrm{c}}}$$
$$F(a; b; c) = {\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots^{b}}}}}_{c,\mathrm{times}}}$$
This?
Yes, but the curly bracket should only touch instances of the letter A and the dots
So (a^^c)^b?
oh wait that's not quite right
Why are you making such a function anyways?
$$F(a; b; c) = {\underbrace{a^{a^{a^{\dots}}}}_{\mathrm{c}}}^{^{^{b}}}$$
