velvet mortar
#

So Tn < 0

deft hatch
#

Inequality?

velvet mortar
#

Yeah solve it

deft hatch
#

that wont give a definite answer right?

deft hatch
#

pure inequaltiy?

#

30-3n<0

#

-3n<-30

#

n>10

#

fuck did i mess up answer is given

#

n>11

velvet mortar
#

Wait lemme check

#

27 + (n - 1)(-3) < 0 right?

deft hatch
#

Right

#

30 - 3n < 0?

velvet mortar
#

Yeah

deft hatch
#

Ah wha-

#

so answer wrong?

velvet mortar
#

So n>10 is correct

#

Can you say what n>10 means?

deft hatch
#

so the

#

terms after T10

#

are all -ve

#

right?

velvet mortar
#

Yes

deft hatch
#

Ohhhhh

#

First -ve term

#

Ohh

#

so 11

velvet mortar
#

So T11 is the answer

deft hatch
#

Ohhhhh

#

Tysmm

hello, I was wondering if there is a formula to get the first digit of a 3 digit number no matter the number.
e.g. you have the number 678 I want to isolate the number 6.

crystal raptor
#

you can divide by 100 and then use the floor function

fair geyser
#

i.e. floor(x/100)

violet rapids
#

if this is a programming thing you can also just take the first character

broken night
#

ok thank you very much

Question about Rubinstein bargaining in game theory and finding Nash Equilibrium and subgame perfect equilibrium
We have 2 players, p1 and p2 deciding how to divide a pie of size 1.
First p1 offers (x, 1-x) for 0<=x<=1
Then p2 can accept or reject
If accept, p1 gets x, p2 gets 1-x, game ends
else p2 can reject and offer (y,1-y) for 0<=x<=1
Then p1 can accept or reject
If accept, p1 gets d * y, p2 gets d * (1-y), game ends (for 0 < d < 1, d = discount factor)

Questions:

  1. Prove that (p1 plays (1,0), p2 accepts), (p1 plays (0,1), p2 accepts) are Nash equilibrium
  2. If player is indifferent between accept or reject, player accepts. Find subgame perfect equilibrium.
  3. If player is indifferent between accept or reject, player rejects. Prove that this has no subgame perfect equilibrium
warm pike
#

For 1) with (p1 plays (1,0), p2 accepts) is obvious. But for (0,1) I thought that p1 can switch to (1,0) and p1 is better?
So I thought of another solution
If p1 changes anything, p2 will not get the original payoff of 1, and p2 will reject and then p2 offers (0,1), meaning p1 has no incentive to switch.
And p2 obviously doesn't want to switch from accept to reject and get from 1 to d < 1
Meaning (p1 plays (0,1), p2 accepts) is Nash equilibrium?

#

For 2) I tried backward induction and got (p1 plays (x,1-x) then accepts, p2 rejects then plays (0,1)) to get (0,d) for 1-d < x <=1
And (p1 plays (1-d, d), p2 accepts) gives (1-d, d)
I need someone to check this

#

For 3) I tried and somehow found a subgame perfect equilibrium of (p1 plays (1,0) then rejects, p2 rejects then plays (0,1)) to get (0,0)

$\vec{x}_1= \left(\begin{array}{c} cos(t)\ -1 \ 2 \cdot sin(t) +3 \end{array}\right)$

fossil pewter
#

with t = [0,2 pi]

#

how do i know what shape this curve is?

#

i need someone to walk me through the steps to visualize that

wraith daggerBOT
#

Mergintaim

fossil pewter
#

is it a spiral?

violet flume
#

I don't think it's a spiral thonk

#

probably ellipse if i had to guess

#

but there are no terms that decay to a constant in the limit

#

or grow large

#

so i think spiral would be out, but i could be wrong

fossil pewter
#

yeah its an ellipse, do you just know the formula for an elllipse by heart or how did you deduce that?

violet flume
#

you could try desmos and just look at the slice? since its a slice anyways

#

well its in a slice right since x2 is a constant

#

cost sint is your classic circle

#

but here sint is scaled by a constant

#

so im imagining what its squished inwards along x3?

#

and translated

fossil pewter
#

hhhm yeah, that makes sense, so basically a spiral would need a growing or shrinking term in there?

violet flume
#

yea probably something exponential

fossil pewter
#

allright that makes sense, thank you very much!

#

i was missing the knowledge of how a circle is made up

#

Hello guys, anyone know how i can prove this? Im rubbish with some proof.

crimson sedge
#

sorry, I meant the intermediate value theorem

crimson delta
#

for all n there is a root a_n of f_n. the root will depend on n and it is unique for that specific n

sage forge
#

Sorry, missread it

cedar kilnBOT
#

@white badge Has your question been resolved?

white badge
crimson sedge
#

I assume you know how to calculate the derivative of f

white badge
#

okay so, if i prove its bijective it will have to be unique?

crimson sedge
white badge
#

Alright sweet, so to prove its bijective i should use that intermidiate value theroem? is that where that part comes in

crimson sedge
white badge
#

btw sorry im bad lmao, i know

crimson sedge
#

once you calculate the derivative of f, study its sign

#

tell me what you find

white badge
#

okay to find the derivative of f do i have to fix n as a value beforehand? I struggle to find the derivative of xn +xnโˆ’1 +...+xโˆ’1 because its not jjst a set sequence? Think im trippin.

crimson sedge
#

yes n is fixed because we calculate the derivative with respect to x

#

everything is fixed except x

white badge
#

the part that confuses me tho is that we dont even know how many x terms there are yet. Like depending on what n was there could be a different amount of terms. Thats what coinfuses me when it comes to finding the derivative.

#

cant even remember how to differentiate an equation like that

crimson sedge
#

this shouldn't confuse you here, the terms are just the successive powers of x, you can imagine n being equal to 4 or 5 if that's helpful

#

start by writing the derivative of $x^n$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

white badge
#

okay so thats just gonna be nx^n-1

#

then

#

(n-1)x^n-2?

crimson sedge
#

yep that's correct

white badge
#

then like (n-1)(n-2)x^n-3 like thats ort of thing

#

and it will just ciontinute like that

#

so study its sign

#

nx^n-1 + (n-1)x^n-2 + (n-1)(n-2)x^n-3.... + 1

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

white badge
#

oh fr

crimson sedge
#

so what is its sign

white badge
#

positive id say

#

wait no

crimson sedge
#

what is the sign of each term, don't forget that $x \in \mathbb{R}^{+}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

white badge
#

well n>= 1

#

and x > 0 so surely its gonna be positive

crimson sedge
# white badge well n>= 1

that's true but not enough to justify positivity, notice that terms like (n-5) multiplied by something will eventually appear for n>5, but of course if they do appear, that means n > 5. because n is also the number of terms in the sum

#

in other words $n-k $ is positive for $k=0,...,n-1$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

crimson sedge
#

but yeah the derivative is positive

#

so what does that imply

white badge
#

the function is increasing?

crimson sedge
#

yep, strictly increasing

#

and continuous (why?)

#

therefore bijective

white badge
#

well i know its continuous because as you increase the values every output will have an input (graph will have an x value at every single y value) however i struggle to write that i words that prove it well. Like to prove continousnous i usually just plot a grraph and analayse it lmao

crimson sedge
#

polynomial functions are differentiable, therefore continuous

white badge
#

no i mean an input for every output

crimson sedge
white badge
#

omg im an idiot i was thinking of surjectivity the whole time lmaop

#

thats makes way mroe sense lmao

crimson sedge
#

continuity is more like the behavior of the function, surjectivity and stuff is related to the domain and codomain of f

white badge
#

i was just doing surjectivity questions so thats what thats ion my mind lmao

crimson sedge
#

lol I see

white badge
#

okay so, ive proved its bijective, thus it must have unique values. Now you mentioned proving the existence part?

crimson sedge
#

yep, you should use the intermediate value theorem for existence

white badge
#

Okay let me look that up lmao

white badge
#

@crimson sedge ive seen the Intermediate value theroem and im still not getting it lmao. This really has been the question from hell for me. i keep seeing ๐‘“(๐‘Ž)<k<๐‘“(๐‘) so im assuming ill be doing ๐‘“(๐‘Ž)<0<๐‘“(๐‘)? its a struggle lmao

crimson sedge
#

you need to find the appropriate values of a and b

#

then calculate their iamges

white badge
#

okay, how do i know what values are the appropriate ones?

crimson sedge
#

what are the easiest values you can think of

#

for which we can easily calculate the image

white badge
#

-1 and 1

crimson sedge
#

f(1) is easy tho

#

and you forgot f(0)

white badge
#

oh i thought it was ๐‘“(๐‘Ž)<0<๐‘“(๐‘). im assuming it should be less or equal to then?

crimson sedge
#

we're not comparing 0 with a or b

#

we're comparing it with the image of a and b

white badge
#

oh, okay then. didnt think about that lmao. sweet

vernal pike
#

$\int^{}_{} \tan \left( x\right) dx$, use substitution $u=\cos(x)$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

what's the first step

crimson sedge
#

$\int^{}{} \tan \left( x\right) dx$ is of the form $\int^{}{} \frac{u'(x)}{u(x)} dx$ seems more straightforward than substitution

wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

vernal pike
#

the problem asks me to use substitution explicitly ๐Ÿ™‚

crimson sedge
#

ah I see

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

vernal pike
#

why do we do that

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

vernal pike
#

$$\int^{}{} \tan \left( x\right) dx=\int^{}{} \frac{\sin \left( x\right) }{\cos \left( x\right) } dx$$
$$\cos \left( x\right) =u\rightarrow \int^{}_{} \frac{\sin \left( x\right) }{u} dx$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

crimson sedge
#

$du=-sin(x)dx=-\sqrt{1-cos(x)^2}dx=-\sqrt{1-u^2}dx$ therefore $dx=-\frac{du}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

crimson sedge
#

in the numerator

#

it's better to rewrite it as mentioned

#

I think the square root is going to be simplified anyway

crimson sedge
#

because the integral is no longer with respect to x, but with respect to u

vernal pike
#

$\cos \left( x\right) =u\rightarrow \int^{}_{} \frac{\sqrt{1-u^{2}} }{u} dx$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

like that?

crimson sedge
vernal pike
#

how did you get du = -sin(x) dx?

#

oh right

#

primitive function of cos(x) is -sin(x)?

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

crimson sedge
vernal pike
#

oh ok, it's the derivative of cos(x)

#

i see

crimson sedge
#

yes

vernal pike
#

and why do we write dx in the LHS?

crimson sedge
#

where

crimson sedge
vernal pike
crimson sedge
#

so it makes sense to isolate dx

#

since we intend to integrate wrt u

vernal pike
#

do you know how we get $\int^{}{} \frac{\sin \left( x\right) }{\cos \left( x\right) } dx=\boxed{-\int^{}{} \frac{1}{u} du}$?

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

i think this is another approach from yours

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AimaneSN

vernal pike
#

$u=\cos \left( x\right) \rightarrow du=-\sin \left( x\right) dx\rightarrow dx=-\frac{du}{\sin \left( x\right) }$

crimson sedge
wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

crimson sedge
#

there should only be u

vernal pike
#

$\int\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\cdot-\frac{du}{\sin(x)}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

and we're left with $\int-\frac{du}{u}$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

$$dx=-\frac{du}{\sin \left( x\right) }$$
$$\int^{}{} \frac{\sin \left( x\right) }{u} \cdot -\frac{du}{\sin \left( x\right) } =-\int^{}{} \frac{du}{u}$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

$$-\int^{}{} \frac{du}{u} \rightarrow -\int^{}{} \frac{1}{u} du=-\ln \left| u\right| +C$$
$$=-\ln \left| \cos \left( x\right) \right| +C$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

Where C is an arbitrary number.

#

Is this it, or do I need to do more steps?

crimson sedge
#

yep this sounds fine

#

sounds correct to me

#

no wait

crimson sedge
vernal pike
# crimson sedge here, I don't think it's appropriate to sin(x) in the RHS of dx=...

crimson sedge
crimson sedge
#

ah you got rid of the minus sign

wraith daggerBOT
#

AuHasard

vernal pike
#

or ln|sec(x)| + C

crimson sedge
#

as cosine is more common than the secante function

vernal pike
#

Sometimes the questions want you to simplify all the way. I don't know what that means though, maybe getting rid of the minus sign for example.

crimson sedge
#

I would prefer -ln(2) as a final answer to ln(1/2)

#

but that's up to you ofc

#

of given example

analog zenith
#

Whats the R though?

#

i dont know what im pulling out of the equation for the r

long arrow
#

r is the exponent in this case

#

for example x^(120) then r = 120

#

or as they've mentioned in the example, x^6 --> r = 6

analog zenith

ohhhh ok

I understand the logic of it, and it seems to make sense, but is there an actual proof of the statement?

crimson delta
#

you mean like this for example?

wanton sail
crimson sedge
crimson delta
#

is it? just the normal induction on N ?

#

that's crazy

crimson sedge
#

other than that you have to go all the way down to Peano's axioms or something. You accept the well ordering principle and use it to prove induction

crimson delta
#

well you use that N can be well ordered. that seems quite a bit weaker than the well ordering principle

wanton sail
#

that's what the well-ordering principle is, in this context

crimson delta
#

oh wait I'm thinking of something else

wanton sail
#

also, this is from the stack exchange post

vagrant breach
crimson delta
#

I'm thinking of the well ordering theorem. which is much stronger

crimson sedge
wanton sail
crimson sedge
#

yes it does imply induction, and induction in turn implies WOP

vagrant breach
wanton sail
#

check the stack exchange post linked

I'm thinking of the one that says that every set can be well ordered. famously equivalent to choice or zorns lemma

Why does it turn into 18-4m? wouldn't it stay "3-18+4m" instead?

shell lance
#

No because the minus sign from the -2 is distributed

#

-2 * 2m = -4m

Ahh I gotcha

I need help with this. I got it wrong a few times. No clue what i'm doing wrong

livid hound
#

do you have a clearer image of the original question

#

is that 2 at the margin part of the question or just the question number

#

are you starting with
$$2 - 5^3 - 4 - 5$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

โ„amonov

fluid grove
#

okay i see what you did there

#

2 - 125 is -123, not 123

#

2 - 125 is not equal to 125 - 2

#

its not like addition

fluid rain
#

-4-5 โ‰  -(4-5)

and for some reason you're multiplying the 4 with the 5 or something

austere slate
#

If I have two circles of equal radii such that both centres lie on the other circle, what fraction of the circumference lies inside the other circle?

This can be shown quite easily to be 1/3, and visually I'm pretty sure this fraction decreases if we up the dimension to spheres (now referring to fraction of surface area). I'm not sure how to actually approach solving it other than using integrals which seems a bit messy.

Does the fraction go to 0 as the dimension number increases? Is there some kind of relatively simple expression that generalises easily to show this?

mighty drift
#

intuitively, I'd say because you have 1/3 of the circumference in each direction. So you should be able to say the (hyper)surface area inside the other hypersphere in n dimensions should be less than 1/3^(n-1)

austere slate
#

hmm

#

Looks like I'm going to need to do that integral on the spheres and see what I get!

#

A mess, probably

delicate ember
#

can a set contain itself?

cedar kilnBOT
vernal palm
#

yes

#

sets contain themselves

delicate ember
#

something like {X is a set : n(X) > 2}

vernal palm
#

what is n(X)?

delicate ember
#

cardinality

vernal palm
#

oh ok

#

yeah

#

but that's not it containing itself

delicate ember
#

it is?

fair geyser
#

it is

vernal palm
#

how

delicate ember
#

{X is a set : n(X) > 2} has infinite elements

vernal palm
#

it's a set containing another set

delicate ember
#

and so its cardinality is more than 2

vernal palm
#

oh I see

#

nvn

delicate ember
#

so it contains itself

vernal palm
#

im dumb

crimson delta
#

under the standard rules of set theory a set cannot contain itself

delicate ember
#

ok so if sets can contain themselves then doesn't that break the definition of a set?
For example this set
{X is a set : X doesn't contain itself}

crimson delta
#

yes and this example is why the rules of set theory do not allow a set to contain itself

this is very different from what you posted initially

and is still very different from what you're writing in

2-5^3-4-5 / -5^2+3

the necessary parentheses should be written immediately as you sub in your value

write out the work properly and redo it

gleaming jasper
#

what do i do? do i remove the ln?

cedar kilnBOT
crystal raptor
#

Seems like a good idea to me

gleaming jasper
#

so multiply both sides by e and got cos = 0

crystal raptor
#

Does multiplying by e cancel out the ln?

gleaming jasper
#

no its 1

livid hound
#

what exactly are you saying is 1

gleaming jasper
#

multiplying e and ln?

livid hound
#

ln is not a magical number

gleaming jasper
#

?

livid hound
#

$$e \times \ln$$
is nonsense

wraith daggerBOT
#

โ„amonov

gleaming jasper
#

DNE?

calm agate
#

No, it just doesn't mean anything. To get rid of a logarithm you have to use exponentiation

#

$$a^{\log_{a}x}=x$$

wraith daggerBOT
#

Andrea276

gleaming jasper
#

so whats the a in my situation?

calm agate
#

What's the base of the natural logarithm (ln)?

gleaming jasper
#

e?

calm agate
#

Yep

gleaming jasper
#

so a =e?

calm agate
#

Yeah

gleaming jasper
#

simplified it to cos(theta) = 0

livid hound
#

that would be wrong

#

how are you getting that equation

gleaming jasper
#

i multiply it to get both sides by ^

livid hound
#

multiply is NOT the correct word to use here

#

hence your error

#

and still feels like you're misunderstanding

#

you can raise $e$ to the power of each side. i.e.
$$e^{\ln|\cos(x)|} = e^0$$
I must insist on repeating, this is NOT the same as multiplication.

wraith daggerBOT
#

โ„amonov

livid hound
#

what do you get after simplifying each side

gleaming jasper
#

cos(x) = 1

livid hound
#

how are you getting cos(x) on the left side

gleaming jasper
#

they dont cancel out?

wicked badger
#

you missed the absolute value(|cos(x)|) but other than that you were right

gleaming jasper
#

ik. i just dk how to put abs on discord

livid hound
#

vertical bars | |

#

or if you can access or type them,

#

abs(cos(x)) would also work

gleaming jasper
#

would there be no solution? [0, 2pi)

livid hound
#

how are you getting no solution

gleaming jasper
#

cos(x) = 1 (= every 2pi)

livid hound
#

can you list any solutions to that?

gleaming jasper
#

for cos(x) = 1? Its every 2pi + k

livid hound
#

not quite

#

wdym by +k

#

are you saying 2pi + 1 is a solution

#

do you mean 2k * pi (where k is an integer)

gleaming jasper
#

yea

livid hound
#

note that any integer k will generate a solution

#

not just the positive integers

#

you should get a solution to cos(x) = 1 in the specified interval from that

gleaming jasper
#

so negative integers but restricted to [0,2pi)?

livid hound
#

whut

#

don't know what you mean

gleaming jasper
#

my solutions are restricted to [0,2pi)

livid hound
#

yes

#

you're over thinking this and missing an obvious solution

#

try finding an integer value of k that gives you something in that interval

#

you even said earlier that there'll be a solution every 2pi (or 360ยฐ)
you can even start with a solution you know and add/subtract integer multiples of 2pi to find a solution in that interval

#

and note that none of this should really be necessary

#

as you should know the simplest solution to that equation (is conveniently also in the specified interval)

#

since you're at a stage where you're being given this question

#

and even if you've really forgotten you can even resort to inverse trig

gleaming jasper
#

...

wanton sail
#

try envisioning the unit circle

#

check when |cos theta| = 1 on the unit circle

#

@gleaming jasper

#

(remember that cosine theta is the x coordinate of a point on the unit circle)

gleaming jasper
#

it would be 0 and 2pi

#

but i cant include 2pi

wanton sail
#

yes

#

but |cos theta| = 1 has another solution

#

besides cos theta = 1

#

what is it?

gleaming jasper
#

?

wanton sail
#

if I say |x| = 1

#

what is x?

#

@gleaming jasper

gleaming jasper
#

1

wanton sail
#

right it can be either 1 or..

#

what other number when you take the absolute value gives you 1

gleaming jasper
#

-1

wanton sail
#

yes

#

so what are the solutions to |cos theta| = 1

#

either cos theta = 1, or..

gleaming jasper
#

cos theta = -1

wanton sail
#

yep

#

so then what are all the solutions for theta

gleaming jasper
#

pi

wanton sail
#

yep pi and 0

gleaming jasper
#

oh. thanks for the help

hello, i want to calculate the surface of the area inside the blue and red lines. does anyone know how to get this done?

atomic zenith
#

i managed to calculate the red area from x is zero i think but i dont get how to calculate the whole area inside blue and red

gaunt hamlet
#

You want to find the area between the red and blue curves?

vernal palm
#

first find the intersection points of the equations

vernal palm
#

then you will use those x-values in your integral

atomic zenith
gaunt hamlet
#

Have you not learned yet how to find the area between two curves?

vernal palm
#

just the ones where blue intersects red

#

so -0.826 and 2.826

atomic zenith
vernal palm
#

but you also need the area between the x-axis and ghe blue curve

#

so yeah let's teach you

#

bc that's necessary here

h0: u = 120

#

is this correct?

empty thunder

I believe it should be mu of 1st = mu of 2nd for h0
and mu of 1st not equal to mu of 2nd for h1
I may be wrong though

empty thunder
#

mean iirc'

cyan ibex
#

iirc?

empty thunder
#

if I remember correctly

cyan ibex
#

so ho: should be not equal to?

empty thunder

should be equal
h1 should not be equal

cyan ibex
#

alright so what do you think of my answer earlier

cyan ibex
empty thunder
#

what does u stand for in this case

cyan ibex
#

umm propotion of town voters I guess

empty thunder
#

you should compare the sample 1 to sample 2 instead

#

I guess it is partially right, though I feel it's a little lacking

cyan ibex
#

If I take two sample it will be complex

#

my lecturer didn't taught me this further

empty thunder
#

is this further statistics?

cyan ibex
#

statistics

empty thunder
#

ah so not further

cyan ibex
#

hmm

empty thunder
#

then it should be fine ig

#

but signify the purpose of u

#

would be my recommendation

#

because it's not stated in the question

cyan ibex

alright I understand

thanks for the help

mellow nimbus
#

hello

cedar kilnBOT
mellow nimbus
#

can someone explain this question to me better

muted bear
#

So there is some number (x+1)(x+2)(x+3)...(x+N) where x is a 4 digit integer. What is the minimum value of N so that the product is divisible by 1060^2

mellow nimbus
#

ahhh

#

is it 3

#

how would i go about answering?

muted bear
#

Try factoring 1060^2 first

mellow nimbus
#

how would i do that

#

2 * 2 * 5 * 53

#

?

#

(2 * 2 * 5 * 53)^2

muted bear
#

Yeah

mellow nimbus
#

How does this help tho?

muted bear
#

So what would be useful to have as a number in your product

mellow nimbus
#

53?

muted bear
#

We have a 53^2 so we should put that in one of the factors of the product

mellow nimbus
#

2809?

muted bear
#

Ah actually

#

We also have a factor of 5^2 is 25 right?

mellow nimbus
#

yea

muted bear
#

So which multiple of 2809 is closest to a multiple of 25?

mellow nimbus
#

2800?

muted bear
#

Multiples of 2809

mellow nimbus
#

ohh

#

70225,

muted bear
#

It has to be a 4 digit number so either 2809, 5618, or 8427

mellow nimbus
#

ohhh

#

8427

muted bear
#

Yes

mellow nimbus
#

so the answer is 3?

muted bear
#

Not quite

#

We still need to consider the factors of 2

mellow nimbus
#

8425,8426,8427?

#

ohh we need 1 more factor of 2?

#

so 4?

muted bear
#

Yes

#

Technically we need three more factors of 2

#

8424 is divisible by 8

mellow nimbus
#

why?

#

8428?

#

@muted bear

muted bear
#

8428 only has a factor of 4

#

So instead we look at the number below which is 8424

#

That has a factor of 8

mellow nimbus
#

ok

#

so answer is 7?

muted bear
#

No

#

8424ร—8425ร—8426ร—8427 is divisble by 1060^2

#

Therefore we have how many numbers?

mellow nimbus
#

4

muted bear
#

Yup

mellow nimbus
#

ok

#

can you help me with another question

#

O

muted bear
#

Sure lol

mellow nimbus
#

I think i got a good idea

muted bear
#

Im in a car riding through the country so i might cut out

Are you forced to use Taylor series

#

Otherwise I would use L'Hopital's (a theoretical 5 times)

manic acorn
# cosmic steppe Are you forced to use Taylor series

we are forced to use expansion for this assignment, im not sure if its taylor series or not cuz the teacher didnt use that name, he did use maclaurin expansion or something, also we havent gone to l hopital yet

cosmic steppe
#

I don't know what your teacher is doing if he taught you series expansions first before L'Hopital

ah well, but can u help me with doing this

I need help on proving the strong property of induction from Peano axioms

crimson sedge

as stated in Tao's analysis, a hint is given to assume that P(n) := Q(m) is true for all m: k<=m<n.

loud ermine
#

how do i solve this?

cedar kilnBOT
mighty drift
#

sometimes, substitution can also be used to make things appear that make the integral solvable

#

instead of making things disappear

#

what substitution could be useful here ? In particular to simplify this exponential

loud ermine
#

I did it like this but i dont know if i am wrong or right

#

@mighty drift

mighty drift
#

if you have dz in your integral, you should express everything in terms of z

#

then you should be able to integrate by parts

loud ermine
#

but didn't i do it

mighty drift
#

You have -2sqrt(x) in your last line, so it's not all in terms of z

loud ermine
#

wait i dont understand

#

i am sorry

#

my english is not good

crimson delta
#

da steht noch ein sqrt(x) im integral

#

ich nehme mal an du sprichst deutsch

loud ermine
#

oh ja

crimson delta
#

drรผck alles durch z aus

loud ermine
#

mein z ist ja dieses sqrt(x)

mighty drift
#

dann schrieben sie z, nicht sqrt(x)

loud ermine
#

Ohhh

crimson delta
#

z=-sqrt(x) aber sonst stimmts

loud ermine
#

then it looks like -2z?

mighty drift
#

yes

loud ermine
#

so what can i do after that?

mighty drift
#

xe^x is something you should know

crimson delta
#

integration by parts/partielle integration

mighty drift
mighty drift
loud ermine
#

it wont change u mean?

mighty drift
#

because it goes into z

loud ermine
#

Oh yeah thats right my bad

mighty drift
#

there's quite a few substitutions that end up being xe^x afterwards

loud ermine
#

but if i do integration by parts

mighty drift
#

I don't say "know the result by heart", just "know that integration by parts works here"

#

in general, if you have a polynomial * (something not too bad to integrate), ibp will work

loud ermine
#

Ahh so by that x e^x

#

I can see that i can use ipb?

#

did i get it right?

mighty drift
#

what is the integral of x e^x ?

loud ermine
#

the same just with - e^x

#

like x e^x - e^x

mighty drift
#

yes

#

so now what is your integral equal to ?

loud ermine
#

2z * e^z - 2*e^z

mighty drift
#

in terms of x

loud ermine
#

2xe^x - 2e^x

#

or what do you mean

mighty drift
#

you don't have z=x do you

loud ermine
#

ohh no

#

ahh okay wait

#

if i do in terms of x

#

and sum all up

#

I get -2*e^-sqrt(x) * (sqrt(x) + 1)

mighty drift
#

,w integral of e^-sqrt(x)

wraith daggerBOT
loud ermine
#

ohh yeah

#

thats whati got

#

ohhh never mind

#

a cosntant

#

i forget the constant

mighty drift
loud ermine
#

bounds?

mighty drift
#

0 and inf

loud ermine
#

oh yesss

#

have to put it in

#

but than kyou

#

really

#

helped me

#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

when do i see I have to use substition?

mighty drift
#
  1. if you see that you're multiplying something by the derivative of some part of your integral, like x e^xยฒ or tan x (= sin(x) / cos(x))
  2. if you have something in your formula that you want to simplify and whose derivative in terms of itself isn't too bad, like e^-sqrt(x)
  3. when you're out of ideas so you just try random things
loud ermine
#

what does it mean derivative

mighty drift
#

Differential

#

f'(x)

loud ermine
#

Yess i get it thanks

mighty drift
#

not actually german as you can guess

loud ermine
#

yeah u helped me

#

good

elder elm
#

Incredibly confused. If the lim of g(x) is approaching -1, then am I even supposed to plug the value in for any of those options? -1 is not less then -1, -1 is also not less then or equal to -1 which is less then equal to 0...

calm agate
#

The second option doesn't say less or equal than -1 and less than 0, but greater or equal to -1 and less of equal than 0; you can think of it as x in between -1 and 0

elder elm
calm agate
#

Those are not options

#

-1โ‰คx<0 means that x must be between -1 and 0, -1 and 0 included

elder elm
calm agate
#

Is x<-1 if x is equal to -1?

elder elm
#

No?

calm agate
#

No, so that's not the function you have to use

elder elm
calm agate
#

It says -1โ‰คxโ‰ค0, x is greater or equal than -1 and less or equal than 0

elder elm
#

You mean greater or equal than negative one?

calm agate
#

Yes

elder elm
#

oh shit

#

emphasis on equal to -1

calm agate
#

'-1โ‰คxโ‰ค0' is the same as 'xโ‰ฅ-1 and xโ‰ค0'

elder elm
#

totally skipped over that

calm agate
#

So now you can solve it๐Ÿ‘

#

0 is also included btw, I didn't see that before

#

There's also โ‰ค for 0

elder elm
#

Surely I wouldn't solve for the 2nd one?

calm agate
#

Yeah, you need to solve for the first one, since 2 is included in the interval 0<xโ‰ค2

elder elm
#

A) apparently isn't incorrect..

#

When I solved for it using the first option

calm agate
#

What does the explanation to the answer say??

elder elm
calm agate
#

Then the question probably asked for the limit approaching 2 from the right

elder elm
#

Am I reading this correctly? It's asking for the limit approaching 2 from both the right and left, right?

calm agate
#

Idk, I was asking whether there was another part of the question above maybe, but if there isn't, then the answer it gives you is just wrong

violet jay
#

The limit doesn't exist since the left and right limits aren't equal.

elder elm
#

At this point, when am I supposed to evaluate both limits, and when am I supposed to evaluate just one?

violet jay
#

The limit exists if and only if the left and right limits exist and are equal. One way to prove a limit doesn't exist is by showing that the left limit does not equal the right limit (in that situation it's called a jump discontinuity, since you'll see the function jump at that point).

elder elm
violet jay
#

When talking about a limit, the value at the point itself does not matter. It doesn't even have to be defined.
To find the left limit we consider what the function looks like on the left, and see what it approaches as we get closer (but not equal to!) to 2. In this case it gets closer to ln(2). For the right limit, as we approach 2 from the right we get closer and closer to 4ln(2).

elder elm
violet jay
#

If it's asking fora limit that's right in between two continuous parts of a function like this then yeah. Since you know the left and right limits exist and you can evaluate them by just plugging in the limit point.

#

Which you can do because each half is continuous, you just need to make sure that they join up nicely in the middle, i.e. the left and right limits are equal.

elder elm

#

does anyone know how this goes from +2 +3 +3 +2 +9 +3 +2

#

and what comes next ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

autumn carbon
#

i don't sure but i have few options:

u(3n+1) = u(3n) + 3
u(3n+2) = u(3n) + 5
u(3n+3) = u(3n+1) + u(3n+2)

or

u(3n+1) = u(3n) + 3
u(3n+2) = u(3n) + 5
u(3n+3) = 3(u(3n))

#

but maybe the answer is not in the options

muted bear
#

i believe its
u(n+3)=2u(n)-u(n-3)+8

silent hornet
#

what does that mean

muted bear
#

the term in the sequence three steps ahead is 2 times the term we are looking at minus the term 3 units before +8

#

for example if we are looking at 13,
(29)=2(13)-(5)+8

silent hornet
#

hmm

#

wait

#

so -(5)+8 is the term 3 and 4 before 13?

4 and 3**

It's saying that x = 0 for 2002

How to write decimals as a fraction

#

My question is express 0.29 as a fraction

#

But how

#

Can somebody teach me

stuck hemlock
#

29/100

honest charm
#

How did you get that

stuck hemlock
#

0.29รท1

honest charm
#

Oh

#

Yeah

stuck hemlock
#

Multiply by 100

honest charm
#

Oh ok

#

Thank you

stuck hemlock
#

If 2 digits are after the decimal point then two zeros therefore 100

#

Otherwise if it were 0.291 then 291/1000

#

BUT

#

Don't forget to simplify the fraction

#

e.g. 0.40

#

40/100

#

Simplified is 2/5

honest charm
#

Oh ok thank you again

#

I think Iโ€™m all set

so

#

from b) you have an equation which is satisfied by x - coords of A and B

#

notice that if x = p then:
p^3 - mp + mp - p^3 = 0

#

you can factor it now into linear and quadratic term

stuck hemlock
#

Linear and Quadratic both together???

#

Never knew that lol

long arrow
#

then find sum of roots of the quadratic term, divide it by 2 and it will be x-coord of M
