but that's bounded charge
isn't the whole point of using electric displacement instead of the electric field to not talk about that
Oof
Sry sir
I am not that much aware bout the displacement method
I thought it was gauss law question

need help with this
what have you tried so far?
i dunno how to give sequence
so i know that it must be 6 jordan blocks
then make a sequence that adds up to 10?
perhaps it is a good idea to calculate the size of the largest block? 
can you do that?
is 6
it will necessarily be part of the sequence, and it's gonna force the possible sequence options to be smaller
the largest block is of size 6?
yeah
how did you get that?
oh no
note that if the largest block is of size 6, then even if the rest are of size 1, we can't make a sum equal to 10 because 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11
is it 5
there's 6 blocks 
the largest
what is your method for getting these numbers? 
5,1,1,1,1,1
I would really want you to answer this...
the largest block size
?
yeah
actually i dont know
how are you getting 5?
oh, hm
so there's a theorem stating that the size k of the largest Jordan block is going to be the smallest k such that rank((T - lambda * I)^k) = rank((T - lambda * I)^k+1)
you can use this to deduce what the largest block size is going to be
what k satisfies this property?
k = 1?
not quite
hint: look at your sequence of nullities
there should be rank-nullity alarm bells going off 
can you state rank-nullity for me?
The rank-nullity theorem states that the rank and the nullity (the dimension of the kernel) sum to the number of columns in a given matrix
sure
that's good enough (although, I prefer writing this as rank(T) + nullity(T) = dimV but w/e)
okay, then we automatically have that dimV - nullity(T) = rank(T), yeah?
in our case, dimV = 10, and T = (A - 2I)^k
yeah
so 10 - nullity((A - 2I)^k) = rank((A - 2I)^k), we agree?
yep
okay, so now we can see that rank((A - 2I)^k) changes if and only if nullity((A - 2I)^k) changes
since 10 is a constant
yeah
now, this says that if rank((A - 2I)^k) = rank((A - 2I)^k+1), then k is the size of our largest block
ok
so we just need to look for the k such that rank((A - 2I)^k), and thus nullity((A - 2I)^k), stops changing
what is that k?
reposting for convenience
when does nullity((A - 2I)^k) stop changing values?
4
ohhh ok
now, what're our options? 
4,2,1,1,1,1
that's a valid choice. are there any others?
4,1,2,1,1,1
that are not permutations, that is 
is there any way to cut up 10 into 6 pieces, one of them being a 4, other than this way?
(this is not a trick question)
no
ohh ok
you can also use 8 and 9 to double check your sequence
I didn't double check myself 
so I'm slightly worried I'm wrong, but I don't suspect I am
okay, I checked
it seems like we should indeed have 4 blocks of size 1
so this is good

Consider a mines game with n^2 = 25 where n is the amount of mines/gems.
m = amount of mines in the grid
g = (n^2) - m. The amount of gems in the grid
r as revealed gems
When m = 3, g= 22 and revealed gems are 5. The payout multiplier is 2
When m = 24, g= 1, and 1 gem is revealed, the payout multiplier is 24.75
Find the equation for the payout muliplier considering m, g and r.
I've been struggling with this and reaching nowhere
I reached an approximation that multiplier payout = 1/P
where P is the probablity of revealing amount of gems in n^2

What do you have to graph if your function has +3 at the end?
3 up
But in this case it’s 3 to the right
So you sketch the smiley at (8, 1)
For the second one, how many degrees is pi/4
45
why right
but is it clockwise or anticlockwise
Counterclockwise
Because adding a number to z on the complex plane moves it along the x axis
Oh I don’t know then. My bad
nw
Wait this is divided by e right?
Because when divided by euler’s identity, then it rotates clockwise
When z is multiplied then it rotates counterclockwise

In this diagram, xy and x’y’ are parallel tangents and we have to prove that <AOB is 90 by proving that the square of side AB is equal to the sum of squares of sides BO and AO I.e we have to use PGT to prove that the angle is 90.
@dry pecan Has your question been resolved?
@dry pecan Has your question been resolved?
OC is the height of the triangle ABO?
also is AB tangent to the circle at C?
PO = PQ = OC := 1 (lets set it to 1 for easier computations)
$\angle OQB = 90 \$
$=> OB = \sqrt{(1+QB^2)} \$
$\ \angle APO = 90 \$
$=> AO = \sqrt{(1+AP^2)} \$
woomy
use pythagoras to find W and Z, and then show that (z+w)^2 = the sum of the other 2 sides squared
@dry pecan
this is AP
and this QB
QB is a side of the right triangle OQB, Q is the 90degrees angle and OB is the hypothenuse
OQB
what we do is calculate OB using pythagoras
since Q is 90degreese
OB^2 = OQ^2 + QB^2
AP is the side of the triangle APO, P is 90 degrees, so AO = AP^2 + PO^2

Say 1a=3b
And
ax=½b
I think it's written like this
since the original one is 1tablespoon=3teaspoon but what is _tablespoon=½teaspoons
Substitute 3b into the second equation to get 3bx = b/2
So bx=b/6?
Yes
Now wat
You can cancel the b on both sides to get x = 1/6
So ½teaspon=⅙tablespoon?
You can check by plugging in x= 1/6 and see if it matches with the original equation
I'm not familiar with teaspoons and tablespoons but if a=3b is correct then it should be right
Yeah, and then if you multiply everything by 6, you get a=3b which checks out

What is the difference between |f(x)| and f(|x|)? How would I go about graphing them?
|f(x)| is u get the y first and then make y positive
for f(|x|) make the function even by making the function the reflection of the positive x-axis values
Just for clarification, by “get the y first” do you mean to make the output positive?
yes

I need some help creating the graph
Helllo
Yea I just forgot it
Like for me I just somehow can’t make it
I forgot a lot
wdym?
Okok
VA is a discontinuity
Yea
Is this alright for now?
A non removable is a jump right?
This is AP calculus AB, but school just started so it’s just review
Nice
so there’s two holes?
What about this?
Oh
Should I get someone else maybe?
Okok
like there could be anything, it’s not specific since it does say any zeros
But what about the relative maximum I feel like it doesn’t seem right
Ill try number 7
But isn’t their two holes? You said a non removable is a hole too?
So it’s a jump?
But there isn’t a point to jump to
Oh ok
What does it mean by continuos for all x
Is this number seven
Even it’s like where it does change if reflected on the y axis
Wait it says increasing 0 to 2 not 0.2
Oh lol
How should it look like then
Ok thanks

Hey I'd like to ask how to make an equation to find the slightly dark triangles figure 8
An example is number 7
Hmmm
It changes based on weather the number is even or odd
Maybe try going from there
(I'm just guessing)
I don't know where to start. For number 7 I got the equation because there were 5 slightly dark triangles surrounding the 3 dark triangles
And there were 3 groups so 3 • (3 +n) would be the equation
N equaled 3 because figure size was 3 so if you plugged that in you would get the exact slightly dark triangles
Ok
For even
Example 2 in the figure
First we do 3 x 2
For the sides
3n
Now idk how to go about the triangle tbh
But n+1 will be the side

why do they make such a function
@untold arrow Has your question been resolved?
it's a way to make it feasible to represent the derivative without a limit. often makes calculations easier. it basically represents an error function wuch that when you divide by h and take the limit it would vanish leaving the derivative being A.

the RHS is (1+x)^{(n+1)choose2}
but how does 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n equal to n+1 choose 2?
do you know what the formula for sum of first n natural numbers is?
yes thats the general arithmetic sum formula i think
for first n numbers the first term is 1 and the last term is n
so n(n+1)/2
yeah
if you write out (n+1) choose 2, the (n-1)! cancels out and you're left with n(n+1)/2
oh ok
is part (b) an equating coefficients question ?
so like using part a) equate coefficients of x^{(n+1choose2)-1} on both sides?
they're adding the coefficients of x^1
ig this works better
idk abt that
equating that makes me more confused more
x^1 makes sense tho i can just equate coeffs of x^1 on both sides
and then use symmetry identity to get it to the thing in the question
problem with x^1 is that multiply it n times would give you x^n
and there's multiple ways to get x^n like say x^n of (1+x)^n and 1's of all other terms
so multiplying x^(n-1)th terms would be better

I have this hyper specific question which I can't find a way to solve, although I have not tried to solve it, I just know I can't because I don't know how to solve in case of something is ever-growing rate especially with a lot of things to consider. chatGPT didn't provide accurate answers and I don't know what else I can do other than posting it here. So here's the question
Let's say there exists an abandoned village where all of the village's buildings are already built with only 1 member, he one day decides to recruit more from an outside nation.
He meets x number of people every day and recruites 75% of them
Out of the new members that join, 50% of them decide to not recruit more. 30% who decide to recruit but aren't good, meeting 30% less people each day and recruiting only 50% of them, the remaining 20% decide to recruit and are as good as the original member.
In the span of a year, they need a population of 1200 (1000 adults + 200 children (below 15))
Children are easier to recruit as compared to adults with a recruitment rate of 90% for people that are not that good at recruiting and 100% for those who are.
But they also recruit less children as compared to adults so that the given adult to children ratio is satisfied.
Find the value of x.
are the children also going to recruit others?
No
so they belong to the 50% who decide not to recruit?
Yes
You can also decide to alter some value to make calculations easier if you want to
1200 people after a year means that they on average only need <4 new people per day. so thats basically nothing
unless they truly fuck up they will get a lot more
That was a lot simpler than i thought
so the true result would probably be something like x=1.something. which in the context of the model makes no sense
even if just your original guy meets 5 people per day and recruits 75% you get enough. and thats ignoring all the other people who could start recruiting
So let's change the question a bit (for private reasons)
Let's say value of x is 5. Then what is the amount of people that will be recruited in a year?
probably more than on earth
Lol
exponential increase is quite crazy
lets say at some point you have 100 people. lets simplify even more and say that only 50 of them recruit and only have a 50% chance. so 50 people go recruit, find 250 people and convince 125 of them to stay. so just after one day you are at 225. then 112 of those go and recruit, meet roughly 560 people and convince 280 of them, so you are at 500 already
so 2 days means a factor of 5
and thats with worse recruiting skills
so over a full year, thats roughly 5^180 = fucking lul

The rule is
Integration of sin(ax)=(-1/a)cos(ax) +c
!nosols
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.
do you know about u substitution?
It's not answer
u substitution?
yeah
ive been 2hours to integral so i dont think so
oh
well id advise you to learn u sub
but you can also solve it with simple inspection
if you need to integrate -sin(3x), then what do you need to differentiate to get that?
you should know chain rule
-sin comes from cos
yes
but we need 3x and not x
so we need to differentiate cos(3x)
what do you get when you differentiate that
wait do i need to solve cos(3x) with uh
is it this or Dg( f (x))= g′( f (x)) ⋅ f ′(x)
ye i know it
so using that what do you get
yes
but thats not done i think
but we need to get -sin 3x not -3sin 3x
isnt g(x)=cosx f(x) 3x
no no that part is right
but we need to differentiate something and get -sin(3x) instead of -3sin(3x)
so instead of just differentiating cos(3x), we can differentiate (1/3) cos(3x)
this way, when we differentiate, the 3 and 1/3 cancel out
oh yea I didn't even think about it
but you really shouldnt be using inspection to do integration
inspection?
u should solve it using u substitution
we guessed cos 3x, but that ddint work
so we modified our guess to 1/3 cos 3x
inspection is basically just guessing
oh
in that case yeah i guess u do have to use inspection
yea for now
theyll teach it soon enough its a pretty basic technique
thanks for the help still

hi, in a problem where a parametric equation of a line is given and an equation of plane too ,is asked for the projection of the line to the plane , i found the perpendicular to the plane vector and the direction vector of the line and then i substituted this to the formula with the inner product of the projection of a vector to another , the problem is that the result isn't the same as the solutions one , i checked in chatgpt and the right result came up by substracting what i found in the direction vector , is what i did right ? why the right vector came with the substraction ?(i have solve it with other ways i am intersting fo this one )
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
that the equation of line and plane that are given respectively ε:(x,y,z)=(15,-12,17)+t(15,-15,11) to
π:13x-9y+16z-69=0 , the direction vector is u=(15,-15,11) and the perpendicular to the plane is (13,-9,+16) , they arent parallel cause they arent multiple of eachother , i found one point od intersection and in order to find the equation of the line that ε projects to π i want to find the direction vector by applying the proj(u->v)=(<u,v>/<v,v> )v , by that i find proj(u->v)= (13,-9,+16) which dont match with (2,-6,-5) the solution but i search for that in chatgpr and when i substract from (15,-15,11) the proj(u->v) i get the result why this happens ? is just a coincidence ? is my method valid ?
@spiral turtle
oh, you projected onto the normal vector of the plane
yes, subtracting is the proper way. You found essentially "How far am I from the plane" by projecting onto the normal of the plane
then you can pull yourself to the plane by subtracting it.

Hello, i need help to calculate this limit pls
without using lhopital
We did not see it yet
then try expansion
i would probably start by using x - 2 = t, just to make the expression a little cleaner
then u will probably see what to do next
this?
yes

hi , if i have a vector equation of a line , can i find two of the planes that have section this line ?
@timid flint yes mate ,is the following way right ?
i will substitute the variables x,y,z of the parametric equations of the line in Ax+By+Cz+D=0 analytic form of the wanted plane the i will get t(Aa+Bb+Cc)+(Ax +By +Cz +D)=0 , that gives me a system of 2 equations , is it right to set arbitary non 0 values for 2 of A,B or C and solve for d ?
Sorry I am no expert, unsure. X E.

@violet flare Has your question been resolved?
@violet flare my initial instinct is to construct two planes that are perpendicular and their intersection is that line
suppose the line has equation s(t) = tv + c
so t is the parameter
c is the root point
and v is the direction vector
i would first find some vector w that is perpendicular to v
so for example, if v = (1, 2, 3)
i might choose w = (2, -1, 0)
Now, one of the two planes you’re after has w as a normal vector and c as a root point.
can you see why this plane contains the line s(t)?
Ryan
you can use this equation to in fact prove that that plane contains s(t). i encourage you to try to prove that on your own
once you do that, all you have to do to find the second plane is find a third vector u that is perpendicular to both v and w and do the same process again.
(actually, u doesn’t have to be perpendicular to w. u DOES have to be perpendicular to v, but it just needs to not be a multiple of w. nothing in the problem states that the two planes need to be perpendicular, that was just my “initial instinct” from earlier)
and one last note, to actually justify why the intersection of these two planes is s(t),
• both planes contain the line s(t)
• the planes are not parallel (because u is not a multiple of w), meaning their intersection is a line
conclusion: their intersection is exactly the line s(t)
hope this helps. let me know if you have questions

@maiden nebula that's cool mate , i could't see the equation of a plane written like the inner product of the perpendicular to himself vector and one other vector that belongs to plane , i think that helped a lot ,as for proof that the plain contain s(t) using this formula is this done by substituting the parameters of the parametric equation of the line to the formula and the cause <v,w> are perpendicular this stands true , am i right ?
cause v is parallel to the plane and they have a common point ?
correct! good job.
you’re correct they have a common point, but why exactly is v parallel to the plane?
@maiden nebula what do you think about the way founded i suggesr=ted before ? In an equation of a plane Ax+By+Cz+D=0 does A,B,C take all the combinations of values unless A^2+B^2+C^2!=0 ?
cause its perpendicular to w as it is the line too ? am i missing sth ?
yes that’s correct. good job
i don’t really understand what you’re going for here
that's how i think of that :
i have the parametric equations of a line x=x0+at y=y0+bt z=z0+ct and i want to get an equation of this form Ax+By+Cz+D=0 so to be sure that the points of the line are in the plane i substitute the parametric equations to the wanted one and i end up in this t(Aa+Bb+Cc)+(Ax +By +Cz +D)=0 which gives that
Ax +By +Cz +D=0 and Aa+Bb+Cc=0(cause t takes all the real values in order to describe the line ), then cause A,B and C can take all the possible combinations of real values except A,B and C such A^2+B^2+C^2!=0 i choose 2 of them arbitary and then i solve for C and D and find an equation of a plane
i see now. yeah i think that works. you have 2 equations and 4 unknowns, so you have 2 degrees of freedom
by the way, my method also has 2 degrees of freedom: one choose of w and one choice of u
@maiden nebula thanks a lot for everything mate , you are a legend , have a good one

I need to find the next 2 terms in the sequences and the limits of the sequences
ok the first one was not easy but
write 3/5 as 6/10
and look at the progression of numerator and denominator separately
so 2,6,12,... is the sequence of numerators
5,10,17,... is the sequence of denominators
the second (an) sequence will follow that same idea (find numerator and denominator sequences)
sounds good but what about the limits
plus i cant relly find the denominator sequence for the first question
@rocky oasis
no not 0 for the first one
3
2,5,10,17,26,37
yes
can you write it in terms of n?
hint: when the growth between terms is linear (5-2 = 3, 10-5 = 5, 17-10 = 7, etc...), a_n is a quadratic

How do i find the lenght of the line segment CE with the other lengths I am given. I dont know where to start
Well what can we see is given?
this diagram lol
yes
yes
So since both are equal to we can equate them
x + 26 = DE + CD
what's DE in the diagram?
10
good
Now the most difficult part is CD
x + 26 = 10 + CD
any idea how we could express the length CD in terms of the other lengths BC and BD?
add them
not quiet
you would then extent it
notice that the blue line
BD
it has BC in it
does that make sense?
yes
now we want only CD
So
Imagine you are at B
if we walked to C
what would be left would be CD
So like
we gotta take BC away from BD
to end up with CD
so subtract them?
2
how did you figure it out?
obviously you subtracted
BD - BC = CD
right?
3-1 = 2
yes
so now
imagine BD the longer length
BD = 27+x
and
BC = 3x+47
In order to get CD we do?
subtract 27+x from 3x+47
yes we subtract BC from BD
we subtract 3x+47 from 27+x
subtract = take it away
So mathematically
CD = BD - BC = 27+x - (3x+47)
so back to our equation
x + 26 = 10 + CD
we plug that in
x + 26 = 10 + BD - BC
x + 26 = 10 + 27+x - (3x+47)
and we solve for x
okay I combined like terms and got x+26=-2x-10. Does it matter where I move the numbers to cancel them out?
no
what matters is if your math is correct
but the how is up to you 😄
looks good so far
Okay thank you
what'd you get?
x=-12
yes nice
do I plug that into x+26 to get CE?
Okay i got
nice

Hii ! can somebody explain why the answer to this question is written like this? (2nd pic is answer)
Im able to do all the dividing and finding the remainder, but shouldnt it be (x+2) +9 or something?
you could say 9 is the remainder
but no it should be like that
when you divide 10 by 3, the remainder is 1. i.e., 10/3 = 3 + 1/3

Have you learnt anything about ratio of similar figures?
Literally have never been taught in my school
hmmm
That's why I'm so confused about this
I'll try to explain, lemme draw sth rq
Okay okay
Yeah
side length of 1st square = 1cm
side length of 2nd square = 2cm
typo
Oh lmao
Yep still getting it
correct
Okay I'm getting it
so, the first sentence implies:
"side length of A = 2×side length of B"
nah, its (2x-2)=2(3x-11)
because if we have 1:4 (which is (1:2)²) as the area ratio, we shall take the squareroot on the area ratio to get the length ratio
then we can solve this to find x
and hence the area of both squares
and then 2x-2=10-2=8,
so side length of A is 8
Okay
Side length of B is 3(5) - 11 = 15 - 11 = 4cm
Area of square A = 8 x 8 = 64cm²
Area of square B = 4 x 4 = 16cm²
Wow
Perimeter of square A = 4(8) = 32cm
So the ans is (a) (b) and (c)

Hello, i'm self studying mathematics and just took a course about geometry. I have been stuck for several hours in a exercise where i'm supposed to figure out the length of x. The assignment and my current progress is attached as pictures. As a side note we haven't been taught any trigonometry(sin, cos, tan) yet. So this assignment should be solvable by only using the area of the triangle equation. So far I think i have correctly solved the angles but i have no idea where to go from here. Any help is appreciated! PS. the correct answer is x = 100
I think it’s like this
Wait no
I am no helper but maybe use one of the SOH CAH TOA rules?
He said it’s solvable without using that
oh
what does the question translate to
"The square is divided into three parts as shown in the image. Determine the length of x"
It’s a square?
yes its a square
the side of the square can't be x
So the answer should be X=100. There is also a clue in the answers. It roughly goes like this: "Move the rectangular triangles formed inside the square next to each other and study the angles' magnitudes."
Here are some ideas
i actually tried that too but couldn't make it work. In that scenario base would be 100, height(side of the square) would be unknown and and both sides would be unknown. Or can you get the x out there?
Yea I think the answer is there
X=36+64
Because the two sides are equal
The two angles are 90 degrees
lets me try that out! Didn't draw Isosceles triangle like you did when i tried it
yep, that's it! Really appreciate your time and help here

@short kraken Has your question been resolved?
There’s absolute value because you basically want the distance between x and c and the distance between f(x) and L, not just the number
you want the distance not just the number
but isnt the distance a number?
Yeah but distance is always positive
the point is to get a positive number
the distance from 3 to 5 is 2. but you would get -2 if you just subtract them
The main idea with epsilon delta is you tell me how close you want to get to the limit in terms of distance (epsilon) and I tell you the distance from c you can have to be that close (delta)
And if the limit you have is the real one, then I should be able to choose any arbitrary epsilon
Yeah pretty much
Also notice delta can never be zero
Because we don’t care what’s happening at x=c only what’s happening around it
That’s why it can’t be less than zero
so like here
whats happening
i have to find out how close i can get to the limit without touching it?
This is a slightly different problem
Then are already giving you epsilon, how close they want to get
You have to tell them what range of x will get you that close
So you need to find a relationship between epsilon and delta
Meaning you need a relationship between |(2x-5)-1| and |x-3|

no it would not I'm saying whatever I get inside would then be multipled my 11, right?
because I took out the 11
You did a mistake in line 2 by taking 11 out of the complete integral
It should be 3/11 then
so it's not neccesary to take out the 11
I mean you can be you forgot to divide by it
Here it should have been 3x/11
Now the lower limit will be 0 and upper limit pi/4
Substitute them to find the final answer
ok I got it
11 + 3pi/4
I'll just leave the 11 in there next time I got myself confused at the end
