#

💀 my handwriting is unintelligible i guess

#

one sec

#

oh

#

i got the c(2x) conversions wrong

hushed pewter
#

And what about this question?

golden imp
#

its y^2 * x^2

#

there are no 4's written in this paper

hushed pewter
#

So is that 1²*x²?

golden imp
#

oh no

#

that big line is for outlining the number

hushed pewter
#

What does this say?

golden imp
#

i hope its intelligible now

vocal sleetBOT
#

@golden imp Has your question been resolved?

hushed pewter
#

@golden imp so what was the purpose of this approach?

#

What's concerning you exactly?

#

Oh

#

Is that they're equal regardless of the value of y?

golden imp
#

it should be 1

#

not -1

#

but turns out that i can't just send the x^2 to the other side as a multiplier

hushed pewter
#

You've simply found that both sides are equal to -1

does this truth table look right ?

vocal sleetBOT

civic pendant
#

no

#

$p \lor q$ is T unless $p$ and $q$ are false, i.e, the last row in the table

twin meteorBOT
civic pendant
#

also you need to have 2^3 rows to cover all possible values of p q and r

civic pendant
#

yes

#

can you show me ur truth table version of this if u dont mind ?

#

I do mind

#

can't use l'hopitals for this question so idk how to solve it otherwise

flat whale
#

Multiply top and bottom by the denominators conjugate

tulip canopy
#

ye and then i get something like this

#

then the bottom will simplify to sqrt(35x^2+3x-2) - 1

#

and idk where to go from there

#

lol

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
tawny nacelle
#

for part a), 2

#

havent done the other parts yet

#

so for part a, i let v be an eigenvector of S o T corresponding to a non-zero eigenvalue λ. then S(T(v)) = λv by definition. now, we apply T to both sides to get T(S(T(v)) = T(λv) = λT(v)

#

so we know that T(v) is an eigenvector of T o S corresponding to λ as long as it is not equal to 0

#

issue is that i've been unable to prove that T(v) is not zero

#

i also dont know how to show that the dimensions of the two eigenspaces are equal

sly sierra
#

if Tv were zero, then STv would also be zero, so v would not be a valid eigenvector of ST

tawny nacelle
#

ah i see

#

that makes sense lol

sly sierra
#

offhand i'm not sure about the eigenspace dimensionality part, i'll think about it a bit and let you know if i have a hint

#

@ing ah i see why it's true

#

@tawny nacelle let't try to ping correctly

#

suppose v1 through vn are linearly independent eigenvectors of ST associated with lambda

#

suppose Tv1 through Tvn are not linearly independent

#

then there is a nontrivial linear combination
sum (ai Tvi) = 0

#

now consider
S(sum (ai Tvi))

tawny nacelle
#

or just lin ind?

sly sierra
#

well you can just suppose they're any LI set of eigenvectors of ST (for lambda)
that'll be true of a basis of E(lambda, ST) of course

#

the argument above will show that Tv1 through Tvn are also LI

#

so that would give you
dim E(lambda, ST) <= dim E(lambda, TS)

#

so you just need the opposite inequality

#

which i assume you can obtain through a similar argument, lemme think about it briefly

tawny nacelle
#

okay, let's see

sly sierra
#

ah yea, the reverse is proved the same way

tawny nacelle
#

v1, ..., vn are elements of E(λ, ST) and T(v1), ..., T(vn) are elements of E(λ, TS)

sly sierra
tawny nacelle
#

but we have that both sets are LI

sly sierra
#

so in particular, let n = the dimension of E(lambda, ST)

tawny nacelle
#

ah i see

#

its kinda obvious now that i think about it

sly sierra
#

you can go in the reverse direction too, basically the same proof
show that if w is an eigenvector of TS then Sw is an eigenvector of ST (for the same lambda)
basically interchanging the roles of S and T

tawny nacelle
#

i see

sly sierra
#

and the reverse direction leads to the opposite inequality

#

thus the two spaces have the same dimension

vocal sleetBOT
#

@tawny nacelle Has your question been resolved?

tawny nacelle
#

writing out the details took me a while

sly sierra
#

nice!

tawny nacelle
#

i'm quite verbose with my proofs lol

sly sierra
#

nothing wrong with that

tawny nacelle
#

okay, let me try b

tawny nacelle
#

Let 0 be an eigenvalue of S o T. Let x ∈ E(0, S o T). Then x =/= 0, since it's an eigenvector, and (S o T)(x) = 0x = 0. Then we see that S o T is not injective (because ker(T o S) =/= {0}), thus not bijective (since the domain/codomain are the same hence have the same dimension), thus not invertible.

#

I think this means that at least one of S or T is not invertible?

#

is that true?

tawny nacelle
#

The line L : (6, 4, 0) + t(1, 2, −1), t ∈ R, intersects the plane x + y + 2z = 5 at the point
P. Enter the line L1 that passes through P, lies in the plane and is perpendicular to L.

silk wind
#

I have found p = (1,-6,5) how do I find the line L1 now?

vocal sleetBOT
#

@silk wind Has your question been resolved?

silk wind
#

<@&286206848099549185>

vocal sleetBOT
#

@silk wind Has your question been resolved?

cyan crest
#

what does "lies in the plane" mean? Does it mean that L1 intersects the plane at infinitely many points?

silk wind
#

I am not entirely sure it just says lies in the plane

#

But we don’t have to focus on that for now

#

I can figure out what that means latercatKing

cyan crest
#

okay so all you have to do is find a line that is perpendicular

#

I have an idea

silk wind
#

Okay!

cyan crest
#

let's start with $$(1,-6,5) + vt$$ where $v$ is a direction vector and $t \in \mathbb{R}$

twin meteorBOT
#

_Kookie

silk wind
#

Yes okay

cyan crest
#

this line represents L1

#

and basically we guarantee that this line will pass through P

#

which is the point you will find

#

since when t = 0 we get P

#

Generally speaking

#

line L travels with direction vector (1,2,-1)

silk wind
#

Yes!

cyan crest
#

so if we want to make L1 perpendicular to L

#

then we need to make sure that $$v \cdot (1,2,-1) = 0$$

twin meteorBOT
#

_Kookie

cyan crest
#

can you see what's going on here?

#

I'm taking the dot product

silk wind
#

Yes!

cyan crest
#

wonderful

#

now you can write v as (a,b,c) where each entry is in the reals

#

and now you have to solve this equation

#

not exactly the easiest thing given you have three variables (a,b,c) to solve for

silk wind
#

Okay so (a,b,c) • (1,2,-1) =0

#

Hmm

cyan crest
#

however, you can get another equation from the question

#

it says that L1 must lie in the plane

#

Have you seen the normal equation for a plane?

silk wind
#

Yes n = (1,1,2)

cyan crest
#

beautiful

#

now given that this line L1 lies in the plane

#

then I believe it will intersect with this plane infinitely many times

#

that means the direction vector v will be perpendicular to the normal n

#

can you see why?

silk wind
#

I think soNervousSweat

cyan crest
#

it's kinda hard for me to draw a diagram

#

but use your palm

#

use it as a plane

silk wind
#

Yes of course you don’t have to

#

Okay

cyan crest
#

and then use one finger in the other hand to indicate the line running directly through the plane

silk wind
#

Yes!

cyan crest
#

notice how the direction your palm is facing is perpendicular to the finger in your other hand

silk wind
#

Yes!

cyan crest
#

that's how we can be sure that the dot product $v \cdot n = 0$

twin meteorBOT
#

_Kookie

silk wind
#

Okay great!

cyan crest
#

so now we have two equations

#

this is good

#

you can now solve for a,b and c

#

keep in mind though that you will have at least one free variable, but this will be no problem

silk wind
#

(a, b, c) • (1,2,-1) = 0

#

And

#

(a, b, c) • (1,1,2) = 0

cyan crest
#

yep very good

silk wind
#

Okay hold on

#

Okay I got b = 3c so far

#

And a = -5c

cyan crest
#

okay good

#

now you can see that c is completely free

#

you can set it to whatever you want

#

I don't recommend 0 though

silk wind
#

Yes okay so 1?

cyan crest
#

yep sure

silk wind
#

Okay so c = 1, b = 3 and a = -5?

cyan crest
#

yep

#

I think that should work

silk wind
#

Okay so v =(-5,3,1)

cyan crest
#

yep

silk wind
#

Okay so now we take (1,-6,5) +t(-5,3,1)?

cyan crest
#

sure

silk wind
#

Okay so is that the line?

cyan crest
#

wdym

silk wind
#

I mean L1

cyan crest
#

yep

silk wind
#

Okay and now we can check that it is perpendicular to L?

cyan crest
#

yes you can

#

do you know how to?

silk wind
#

Yes I think so wait I will try

#

I know how to do it with two vectors but not when t is involvedNervousSweat

cyan crest
#

just use the direction vectors

#

no need for t

silk wind
#

Oh okay!

cyan crest
#

(-5, 3, 1) • (1,2,-1)

#

that's definitely equal to 0

#

I did it in my head

silk wind
#

Yes me too!

#

Great!

#

Do you have time for one more question?

cyan crest
#

(-5, 3, 1) • (1,1,2) = 0 as well

#

unfortunately no since I gotta go to bed

#

sorry about that

silk wind
#

Okay that’s fine

#

Thank you so much!

try looking at the graphs or something

Use calc

#

Integral with cos

agile meteor
#

i’d either use an identity to turn sine into cosine or vice versa

#

or turn both sine n cosine to exp form

cobalt ocean

christ jesus

#

just think about the graphs

#

you guys are overcomplicating this

inner osprey

Just plug it in calculator

#

I JUST checked

inner osprey
#

no…

#

The answer is on the left solved in rad

inner osprey
#

not good

agile meteor
#

looking at the graph isn’t very rigorous tho isn’t it?

inner osprey
#

if you can avoid, it is not good practice to suggest calculator solution…

inner osprey
#

i see no indication that this problem requires a high level of rigor

#

this seems like you want to make use of the functions that the integrals are composed of in your justification

silent arrow
#

Left since cos 0 is 1

#

Right sin 0 is 0

#

How do you work this question out

vocal sleetBOT
vast shale
hushed pewter
#

Does that say $5\left(\frac{n}{4}-2\right)=15$?

twin meteorBOT
vast shale
#

Yes

hushed pewter
#

I presume you are trying to solve for n?

vast shale
#

yes

#

Could you explain if possible, not give the answer only

hushed pewter
#

The task is to start at the equation given to you, and algebraically manipulate into an equivalent expression where n is isolated.

#

It's worth discussing what I mean by equivalent expression. That's the root of what makes algebra useful.

vast shale
#

Equivalent expression means the same expression just rearranged ?

hushed pewter
#

Two equations are equivalent if one equation is true if and only if the other equation is true

hushed pewter
#

There are a number of operations that you can do to an equation to keep the result equivalent:

  • Add/subtract any number to both sides
  • Multiply/Divide by any non-zero number to both sides
  • Add 0 to either side
  • Multiply by 1 to either side
vast shale
hushed pewter
#

Not quite. y-x/4=23+x-9 is one equation

#

I'm talking about when two equations are equivalent

#

For example, if x+2=3, then that equation is equivalent to x=1

vast shale
hushed pewter
#

Image is cut off, but you seem to have it

vast shale
#

So then you just do 5n/4 = 25 then 5n = 25 x 4 , 5n = 100, n = 100 /5 n= 20

#

@hushed pewter Do you mind helping with some other algebra questions?

hushed pewter
vast shale
#

I don’t understand how to get z when it is in the denominator

hushed pewter
#

$\frac{1}{4z}+\frac{1}{5z}=-9$?

vast shale
#

1/4z + 1/5z = -9

twin meteorBOT
vast shale
#

Yes

hushed pewter
#

Yea this one is a bit trickier.

vast shale
#

Do you make them have the same denominator

hushed pewter
#

Here's a hint though, recall that $\frac{1}{a\times b}=\frac{1}{a}\times\frac{1}{b}$

twin meteorBOT
vast shale
#

The denominator is 20z

#

n/4-2= 15/3

vast shale
#

Oh sorry

rare ginkgo
#

n/4-2= 3

vast shale

I sent the wrong question

#

n/4= 5

vast shale
#

I meant this one

rare ginkgo
#

n= 5*4

spiral turtle
rare ginkgo
#

n=20

#

that is how i got n=20

spiral turtle
#

and n = 20 is indeed correct for the second one

vast shale
#

Oh ok they’re both 20 then

spiral turtle
#

no

#

-1/20 is different from 20

vast shale
#

-1/20 isn’t 20? i thought you flip it

spiral turtle
#

you're thinking of (1/20)^-1

hushed pewter
vocal sleetBOT
# rare ginkgo n=20

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

spiral turtle
#

-1/20 is negative 1/20

rare ginkgo
#

yes z= -1/20

#

take LCM

vast shale
#

So then you multiply the fraction by -1?

spiral turtle
#

you have z = -1/20

vast shale
#

Oh my bad

spiral turtle
#

if you multiply the fraction by -1, you would also need to multiple the left hand side by -1

#

then you'd get -z = 1/20

#

which is no longer solved.

vast shale
#

Ok thanks

#

do you mind if i ask another question?

spiral turtle
#

I don't mind

#

but it's faster if you JustAsk the question 🙂

vast shale
#

Okay

spiral turtle
#

so, if you get rid of all of the fractions then you just have a bunch of numbers and xs, which we know how to solve

#

what can you multiply both sides of this equation by to remove all of the fractions?

vast shale
#

8 because it’s the LCM

noble spindle
#

Can you multiply with something better / and thats not lcm

8 will work, but the LCM you care about is between 4 and 2, not 4, 2, and 8

vast shale
#

Ok so 4

spiral turtle
#

👍

vast shale
#

4 x 1=4 so it’s a multiple, 4 is the LCM

spiral turtle
#

LCM(a, b) = ab/GCD(a, b). GCD(4,2) = 2, so LCM(a, b) = 4 * 2 / 2 = 4

vast shale
#

I got x= -8/5

vast shale
spiral turtle
#

ah

#

so 32 - 26 is not -8

vast shale
#

-6*

spiral turtle
#

not -6 either, it's just 6

vast shale
#

Oh yeah

#

x= 6/5

spiral turtle
#

I agree with that

#

might want to rewrite the final line just for clarity

#

if I were grading your work, I would personally appreciate it.

vast shale
#

x = 6/5

#

Oh it’s fine bc i just read it out to my tutor

#

but thank you for the suggestion

spiral turtle
#

oh, then that's fine 🙂

vast shale
#

Could anyone help with this question please

spiral turtle
#

This is just the same thing as the last question

#

I have confidence in you 😄

vast shale
#

Okay i’ll try it

#

y= -3/1

#

<@&286206848099549185>

tall rose
#

You can check your answer by plugging it into the original equation

vast shale
#

Okay thanks, I was more so asking if the working out was correct

spiral turtle
#

You messed up on the third line going from the left to the right

#

can you find your mistake?

vast shale
spiral turtle
#

it is simplifying the fraction, that's the only thing you did going from the left to the right on the third line 🙂

#

what mistake did you make?

#

you did two things

#

you added 3 and 17 to get 20

#

and you added -5y and y to get 4y

#

which one of these is incorrect?

vast shale
#

-4y it should be

spiral turtle
#

👍

vast shale
#

But about the simplifying fraction is it necessary?

spiral turtle
#

you can simplify the fraction

vast shale
#

I think it just makes it easier/less steps but still get the same answer

spiral turtle
#

and it makes it easier

#

but yes, you'll get the same answer in the end.

#

So now once you finish solving this, you will have y=3

#

how do you know this is the right answer?

vast shale
#

You plug it in

#

To the equation

#

or expression

spiral turtle
#

ok! so do that and double check it

vast shale
spiral turtle
#

you replace all of the ys with 3

vast shale
#

I did that but i didn’t get 3 when I did it with both sides of the equation

spiral turtle
#

you don't need to get 3 = 3

#

you just need to get "x = x" for some value of x

#

you just need some sort of true statement

vast shale
#

Could you give an example?

spiral turtle
#

ok so let's do an easy one really quick and then check it

#

5x + 4 = 24

#

we can solve this quickly and find that x = 4

vast shale
#

Yes

spiral turtle
#

to check, we just replace x with 4

#

5x + 4 becomes 5(4) + 4

#

so we have 5(4) + 4 = 24

#

20 + 4 = 24

vast shale
#

spiral turtle
#

24 = 24

vast shale
#

I understand that

#

But you said it doesn’t have to be 3=3 ?

spiral turtle
#

it doesn't have to be 3 = 3, it can be any number is equal to itself.

#

in this case you should find that -3 = -3

#

(3 - 5y)/4 = 2 - (y + 17)/4

vast shale
#

okay i will plug 3 in again

spiral turtle
#

(3 - 5(3))/4 = 2 - (3 + 17)/4
-12/4 = 2 - 20/4
-3 = 2 - 5
-3 = -3

vast shale
#

Why do you get -3 = -3 when the answer is not -3

#

@spiral turtle

spiral turtle
#

the same reason I got 24 = 24 when the answer was not 24

#

you don't need any particular number to equal itself, you just need any true statement

rare ginkgo
#

what is the ques?

spiral turtle
#

@rare ginkgo it was (3 - 5y)/4 = 2 - (y + 17)/4

#

the one just posted is new

vast shale
#

Yes sorry

rare ginkgo
#

ok

#

so what ques do i answer?

vast shale
#

Could anyone help with this question

rare ginkgo
#

the fresh one?

#

okay sure

vast shale
#

Not an answer but explanation please

spiral turtle
#

At this point xvn, you should know how to approach problems like this as we just walked you through 2 or 3 of them at least, so can you explain how you would approach this?

rare ginkgo
#

exactly

vast shale
#

It’s because this one looks different so i sent it

rare ginkgo
#

these are all very simple ques

spiral turtle
#

I wouldn't put it like that

vast shale
#

Well i’m not an undergraduate lol am I now

spiral turtle
#

everything is easy if you know how

#

learning is the hard part

rare ginkgo
#

i am 17

vast shale
#

I guess we are all undergraduates bc we haven’t graduated yet if we think about it lol

rare ginkgo
#

i am an indian...the math they teach us here is way too advanced

spiral turtle
#

So you think that this one looks different, can you explain how?

vast shale
#

Because there’s 3 fractions

spiral turtle
#

ok, so you need to find the least common multiple of three values

rare ginkgo
#

take lcm of the LHS

#

and then cross multiply

vast shale
#

LHS means what?

spiral turtle
#

between 4, 8, and 3, what is the smallest number that is a multiple of all of these?

#

LHS means left hand side

#

RHS means right hand side

vast shale
#

24

rare ginkgo
#

sorry for using abbrevations

spiral turtle
#

ok, so you need to make all three fractions have a denominator of 24.

rare ginkgo
spiral turtle
#

(then you can just multiply both sides by 24 to clear all of the fractions entirely)

rare ginkgo
#

i mean i can solve the ques but explaining it is very difficult for me

vast shale
#

So when multiplying by 24 the numerators will change

spiral turtle
#

Thank you for the compliment. I've had a bit of practice, and I think given some practice you can learn how to teach effectively too.

vast shale
#

Do you just do a big bracket around all the fractions on the LHS, and the RHS a bracket there too?

spiral turtle
vast shale
#

I changed the denominators first

spiral turtle
#

what you do is multiply each fraction by a number over itself.

#

so for instance, for the term with something/4

#

you multiply by 6/6

#

because 6 * 4 = 24

#

or I guess you can just multiply everything by 24

#

yeah that works too

rare ginkgo
#

this is correct

spiral turtle
#

yup

vast shale
spiral turtle
#

it would work, you'd just have to be careful about how the denominators and the numerators cancel

vast shale
#

Multiplying by 24 without changing denominators can work? just trying to double check

spiral turtle
#

yeah

#

remember, as long as you do legal things with the equation (always multiply individual terms by 1 or always add 0 to either side, and if you do something that isn't multiplying by 1 or adding 0 to one side, then you have to do it to the other side too), then you'll always get a true statement from a true statement.

vast shale
#

That makes sense because what is on the LHS is equal to RHS anyway it’s just about solving the value of the letter

#

do you simplify the fraction on RHS or must they have the same denominator

spiral turtle
#

you eventually want to clear the fractions

#

so if you have everything over 24

#

you can just multiply both LHS and RHS by 24

#

to get rid of them

vast shale
#

Okay

vast shale
spiral turtle
#

yeah

#

exactly

drifting pollen
#

no matter how many times i do this, i get -11/30 pi, and its marked wrong. anyone know where i might be going wrong?

solid sage
#

It’s never negative

#

So how has that happened

tulip dirge
drifting pollen
# solid sage It’s never negative

integration can give negative areas and volumes even if they dont have real-world sensibility no? think of the definite integral on [0, 1] of y = -x, that is surely a negative area, and so volume can be negative too.

also, someone already told me the answer, and while i dont actually remember what it is, it was negative. and this grading is done automatically, so i am sure it is negative

solid sage
#

The formula for this is based of the formula for a circle which can’t be negative.

#

It’s the sum of multiples pi r^2 where r changes

#

Although maybe I’m wrong, could you show your working?

drifting pollen
#

yes

#

excuse my handwriting lol

#

sent one twice woops

#

two different workings of problem btw

loud walrus
#

The integral is wrong

tulip dirge
loud walrus
#

Yes

#

1-x^2 and 1- sqrt(x)

tulip dirge
#

oh

drifting pollen
#

oh

tulip dirge
#

i was going to say x2-1 - 1-sqrtx

loud walrus
#

The inside the parenthesis

#

Make the other way

#

And you will get the positive same result now

tulip dirge
#

a-b ^2 = b-a ^2

loud walrus
#

You saying 3^2 - 2^2 is equal to 2^2 - 3^2?

tulip dirge
#

uh

#

no

loud walrus
#

Oh wait

#

I read wrong

#

Put parenthesis

tulip dirge
#

yea

#

mybad

loud walrus
#

Ok let me check the rest

drifting pollen
#

is it backwards because the axis is y = 1, so you need to take the bottom curve first instead of the top one (because the axis is above the two curves)

loud walrus
#

You got. -x^4

#

And it’s x^4

tulip dirge
loud walrus
#

I don’t see the parenthesis

tulip dirge
#

but wait

#

the other 2 signs should be reversed

tulip dirge
#

-(x^2-1)^2

loud walrus
#

No but

#

The integral is wrong I said

#

It’s the other way

tulip dirge
#

oh

#

yeah

loud walrus
#

x^2 first

tulip dirge
#

yeah

loud walrus
#

Sqrt later

tulip dirge
#

yup that would give 11pi/30

loud walrus
#

I thought u we’re following but I just woke up

#

Maybe I forgot saying

tulip dirge
#

and then i started looking for mistakes in the integral

loud walrus
#

No that was the whole thing

tulip dirge
#

yea i get it now

loud walrus
#

It’s R^2-r^2

drifting pollen
#

yeah thank you

#

this was helpful and 11/30 * pi is the correct answer apparently, thx for the help

got a quick question:

tan120 => tan(180-60) => tan60 or (-tan60) ?

#

can anyone explain where i went wrong here?

#

-cos(360 + 30) - tan (360 - 60) + tan (180 - 60) => -cos(30) + tan(60) + tan(60) = tan(45)

you have the bad habit of writing "=>" instead of "="

you can only use "=>" ("implies") for statements

#

i thought using FTC1 would just give tan(u^3)du

#

so then why and how is this the answer

hushed pewter
#
  1. This is a definite integral
  2. Chain rule
vast shale
#

how does FTC 1 apply to definite and indefinite integrals differently

hushed pewter
#

The basic setup of the theorem is that $\frac{d}{dx}\left[\int_a^x f(u)du\right]=f(x)$ where $a$ is any arbitrary constant.

Differntial equations

#

wait lemme get a better ss

formal pond
#

What method did you use in class?

autumn coral
#

I couldnt tell you man

#

I dont go to class

#

Thats why I need the help

formal pond
#

???

#

Well if we don’t use the right method u will get 0 marks no?

autumn coral
#

welll

#

worth a shot

#

at least

#

id assume there arent THAT many methods

#

i assume its

#

characteristic equation method

formal pond
#

Try a trial solution

#

Make y=e^lambda*x

#

From there find y’’ and 2y (WRT x)

autumn coral
#

my friend was doing something like

#

r^2-2=0

#

then facotized it

#

n stuff

#

factorized*

thin vale
#

Find the roots of the characterstic equation

#

They tell you the complementary solution

#

use the initial value to solve for the undetermined constants

#

since these are all homogeneous equations there will be no particular solutions

formal pond
#

But we r using lambda

#

Instead of r

#

Do you know how we get this

#

Just do what I said above

autumn coral
#

Nah

formal pond
#

Do what I said

autumn coral
#

so y=e^lambdaX

formal pond
#

yes

autumn coral
#

then differntiate twice

formal pond
#

Yes

#

What do we have

autumn coral
#

same thing

#

?

formal pond
#

Nearly

#

What’s the drivitve of e^2x

autumn coral
#

e^2x

formal pond
#

No

#

Not quite

autumn coral
#

e^2x * 2

formal pond
#

Yes!

#

So what about e^lambdax

thin vale
autumn coral
#

2 right

thin vale
#

yes

autumn coral
#

ok

#

so

thin vale
#

lambda is a constant

autumn coral
#

e^lamda*x * lambda

#

wth

formal pond
#

Now the 2nd derisive

#

Derivative

autumn coral
#

well lamda will

#

disappear

#

the second one

formal pond
#

Would it?

thin vale
#

?

autumn coral
#

its a constant

#

so becomes 0

#

no?

thin vale
#

it isn't + lambda

autumn coral
#

oh

thin vale
#

it's multiplied by lambda

autumn coral
#

right

thin vale
#

By the chain rule

formal pond
#

Times

autumn coral
#

forgot

#

mb

#

hold on i hate writing on word

#

lemme get a paper

thin vale
#

$e^{\lambda x} \cdot \lambda$

twin meteorBOT
#

Austin

formal pond
#

Take your time

#

I haven’t solved IVPs for ages so I don’t know any of the names for these steps

#

I just remember how to do them

thin vale
#

normally you don't actually do this whole e^lambda shennanigans

formal pond
#

Yea

thin vale
#

but since he seems to not know the method

formal pond
#

You just go straight into it

thin vale
#

it's good to walk him through it

#

Yes

autumn coral
#

i just told u

#

the method

thin vale
#

Then why have this channel open?

#

If you know how to do it

autumn coral
#

idk how to do it

#

but ik the name

#

of it

#

LOL

thin vale
#

Okay we're explaining to you how to do it, and almost more importantly why it works

#

you'll realize once we get through a few steps this is the same method you are somewhat familiar with

autumn coral
#

ok so second derivative will be lamda squared?

#

e^lamdax

#

?

thin vale
#

$e^{\lambda x} \cdot \lambda^{2}$

autumn coral
#

Lamda squared e^lamda*x

twin meteorBOT
#

Austin

thin vale
#

yes

autumn coral
#

ye

thin vale
#

Now recall what we were doing

#

we had a trial solution

#

y=e^(lambda x)

#

now we know what y' and y'' would be

#

Let's plug all of them in

#

to the equation

autumn coral
#

bet

#

wait do we know what y'' is?

thin vale
#

Yes you just told me what it was

#

if y=e^(lambda x) then y'' = ...

autumn coral
#

oh

#

but thats not the same

#

where did we get the e

#

from

thin vale
#

we haven't yet shown that our trial solution works

autumn coral
#

oh

thin vale
#

but we will see that it does

autumn coral
#

right

#

Okay

thin vale
#

and then we will also find lambda

autumn coral
#

ok we know y and y''

#

so we plug them in the equation i have?

#

ok so

#

(e^lamdax * lamda^2) - 2 ( e^2x)

#

=0

formal pond
#

Ok good

#

Well

#

some mistake

#

e^2x?

autumn coral
#

isnt that

#

the y

#

from the start

formal pond
#

y = e^lambda *x?

thin vale
#

why would 2*y square it?

formal pond
#

i just gave e^2x as an example of how to differentiare it

autumn coral
#

oh

#

ok whats

#

the equation

#

with the everything substituted in

formal pond
#

you

thin vale
#

you tell us

formal pond
#

tell

#

me

#

lol

autumn coral
#

ok whats y

thin vale
#

No way

autumn coral
#

Bro u guys confuse the hell out of me

thin vale
#

I feel like you're not taking this seriously

autumn coral
#

I legit

#

am

thin vale
#

What was our trial solution

autumn coral
#

the first derivative i got?

thin vale
#

What

autumn coral
#

what r u talking abt man

formal pond
#

Look at the first equation i gave

thin vale
#

Go up in the chat

#

Read all of the times we said

autumn coral
#

e^lamdax

formal pond
thin vale
#

"trial solution"

#

That is what we are talking about

autumn coral
#

ok so what does that

#

mean

thin vale
#

,w trial

autumn coral
#

ok so when i got the derivative of it

#

and then 2nd derivative

#

thats our y''

#

then why is the very first one not y

thin vale
#

it is..

autumn coral
#

ok thats what i

#

said

thin vale
#

no you said e^2x

autumn coral
#

typo

thin vale
#

also your refusal to use parenthesis is annoying

autumn coral
#

..

formal pond
#

ok

#

so re-write it again

#

without the typo

autumn coral
#

(e^lamdax * lamda^2) - 2 ( e^lamdax)

thin vale
#

it is set equal to 0

#

Do you see any way to factor that?

formal pond
#

equals what? 5 elephants?

thin vale
#

it equals 100 limes and 2 oranges

autumn coral
#

hilarious

#

can we apply log then factor lamda out?

#

or nah

thin vale
#

no need to apply log

#

they already share a common factor

#

also log (0) is undefined

#

so you can't apply log

#

which you would see if you wrote it out completely

formal pond
#

in your 2 brackets, what occurs in both

autumn coral
#

lamda

#

and 2

thin vale
#

:|

formal pond
#

?

thin vale
#

lambda does not appear as a factor in the second one

formal pond
#

2 is not even in the bracket

thin vale
#

You should probably write it out fully

autumn coral
#

u can expand it...

thin vale
#

like we've said

#

it still doesn't have a factor of lambda

#

maybe if you used parenthesis you'd realize it is e^(lambda * x)

autumn coral
#

ok we factor the e out

thin vale
#

Not the e

autumn coral
#

then what bruh

thin vale
#

idk how would you factor just the e out

autumn coral
#

legit said everything in the equation

thin vale
#

without also factoring out its exponents

autumn coral
#

ok thats what i meant

formal pond
#

maybe a better visualiser might help you

autumn coral
#

maybe if u stop acting like a smartass and just be proper

thin vale
#

Do you want me to write it out for you?

formal pond
#

$\lambda^2 e^{\lambda x} - 2e^{\lambda x} = 0$

twin meteorBOT
#

Mortta

formal pond
#

oops

#

Now can you see what to factor?

autumn coral
#

ok so we factor the e out

thin vale
#

not the e

autumn coral
#

e^lamdax ( lamda^2 - 2) = 0

thin vale
#

$$e^{\lambda x}(\lambda^2-2)=0$$

twin meteorBOT
#

Austin

autumn coral
#

...

formal pond
thin vale
#

Now it'd be nice if we could get rid of the exponential

#

lucky for us e^(x) is never equal to 0

#

so we can do what next

autumn coral
#

Do we set x equal something

thin vale
#

No

#

We're trying to solve for lambda

formal pond
#

There is no x

thin vale
formal pond
#

Can you think of a way

#

To solve for lambda

#

Ok

#

Well

#

You know what I mean

thin vale
#

x has no affect on the solution

#

is what he means

formal pond
#

Yes

autumn coral
#

do we divide by e^lamdax

thin vale
#

Yes

formal pond
#

Ye!

thin vale
#

Which we can do, because e^(x) is never 0, for all x

formal pond
#

And we’re left with?

autumn coral
#

lamda = sqrt 2?

thin vale
#

not quite

#

it's a quadratic

formal pond
autumn coral
#

whats 0/e^lamdax

thin vale
#

there will be 2 solutions

thin vale
autumn coral
#

ok so

formal pond
#

0/ anything that is no 0 is 0

autumn coral
#

lamda^2-2=0

thin vale
#

you're left with $$\lambda^{2}-2=0$$

twin meteorBOT
#

Austin

formal pond
#

Yea

#

Which is like your friends

autumn coral
#

ok ye

formal pond
#

Solution

thin vale
#

yeah

autumn coral
#

ye

formal pond
#

Solve for lambda

thin vale
#

your friend called lambda r

autumn coral
#

ok where do we go from there

thin vale
#

Solve for lambda

formal pond
#

So what’s Amanda?

#

Lambda*

thin vale
#

amanda

autumn coral
#

LOL

thin vale
#

XD

autumn coral
#

anyways

formal pond
#

Buddy

#

Typo

#

An actual one

autumn coral
#

do i

#

expand

#

?

thin vale
#

solveeee

#

for

#

lambda

formal pond
#

??? What do you expand

autumn coral
#

ok sqrt 2

thin vale
#

no

#

it's a quadratic equation

autumn coral
#

o

thin vale
#

there will be two solutions

autumn coral
#

+2 -2

#

?

thin vale
#

I feel like I am repeating myself

#

not +2 -2

formal pond
#

Nearly

thin vale
#

every time you guess you get closer

autumn coral
#

+- sqrt 2

thin vale
#

I think just one more guess

#

there you go

formal pond
#

Yea

autumn coral
#

man math while hungry sucks

thin vale
#

Okay cool so we know what lambda is

#

so

#

our trial solution

#

was what

autumn coral
#

+- sqrt 2

thin vale
#

dear lord

#

go reread all the times we said trial solution and try again

autumn coral
#

e^lamdax

thin vale
#

yes

#

and now we know what lambda is

#

so the real solution

#

is what

autumn coral
#

e^(+-sqrt2)x

#

?

thin vale
#

Well

#

you would not write it like that
