$42+\frac{10(1-{\frac{7}{10}}^8)}{1-\frac{7}{10}}$
ohhhhh
Galaxy
i never would’ve gotten that wtf
like the 10 is in geometric progression since thats what is decreasing each week
then u just add 42 since its initially 42 cm tall
but why isn’t it 10 instead of the 42 on the outside
and vice versa
since T1 would be 42
so then why wouldn’t it be 52 instead of the 10
basically 10 on the outside and 52 next to the bracket
because the 42 isnt going to change, its base height is always 42 cm tall
ohhh
whats actually changing is the amount it grows by each week
so hypothetically if we used T2 instead of T1, we would put 7 instead of 10?
yeah
your fine, you've got a whole year to learn this stuff
itll be easy by the end of it
nah it’s just cus i got a 20min quiz today
for dr du
and it’s based on last weeks content
which is this
do the results actually matter?
oh theres tiers to his tutoring?
sounds odd, whats the difference?
basically all ‘A’ tier classes learn extension content
but A1 learns stuff that’s out of the syllabus too
so advanced things
most students in A1 plan on doing ext 2 maths
so it’s very competitive
A2 learns advanced stuff that’s within the syllabus
and we learn stuff that’s a little less advanced to A2
but all A classes cover the very basics of what u have to know for that topic
B is like advanced/standard maths i believe
if they do learn ext 1 its incredibly basic
like easier than this
thats weird
are you yr 12 rn?
ah so u learn content early then
yep
some of which i can actually apply to my school exams which is helpful
like trig
yeah trig is in everything
yes
good thing to be useful at for hsc
mhm
i’m pretty good at trig
speaking of trig can u help me with this one question
sure
construct a triangle it seems
yeah
ok
arccot and arctan are just angles
i don’t understand
youll see that $x=cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-\arctan{x})$
Galaxy
yes
yeahg
then what do i do
then notice that the other angle is pi/2-theta
Galaxy
yep
sorry mb i went to get a drink
allgs
first determine the domain
x must be less than or equal to 0
yes
and as x approaches -infinity e^x would approach 0 correct
so $e^{-\infty}=\frac{1}{e^{\infty}}$ by indice laws
Galaxy
yes
and the denominator becomes a infinitely large
yes
which makes the number really small
yes
practically 0
mhm
so 0 is less than or equal to arccos(e^x) which is less than or equal pi/2
wait
it can’t equal pi/2
right
yeah thats true
yep
ah alright

$\lim_{n \to \infty} (2^n+e^n)^{1/n}$
Falco
I would try finding the limit of logarithm of that
can also squeeze
$\lim_{n \to \infty} log(2^n+e^n)^{1/n}$? I'm not sure what you mean
Falco
take e^ln
$\lim_{n \to \infty} e^{ln(2^n+e^n)^{1/n}}$
cps
I remember something about this but I'm not sure if I remember correctly. Would this be $\lim_{n \to \infty} e^{\frac{1}{n}{ln(2^n+e^n)}}$ and then you can insert the 1/n somewhere inside? It's been a while since I did logs
Falco
input the limit and check where it tends to
think of it as
$e^{g(x)*ln[f(x)]} where f(x) = 2^{n} + e^{n}, g(x)=1/n$
its e^0?
cps
welp, its $e^{0 \times ln(\infty \times \infty)}$?
Falco
Sorry, i had to go for a while
anyway now you can factor out 2^n
from 2^n + e^n
or maybe e^n
yeah, e^n is better
Wait I just realized that whole the log thing might not be needed
Yeah
you can just factor out e^n
that makes things so much simpler
you mean $\lim_{n \to \infty} (e^n(\frac{2^n}{e^n}+1)^{\frac{1}{n}}$?
Falco
wouldnt it be only e outside?
i think they just forgot to add parens
ahh
damn, thanks guys
$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left(e^{n}\left(\frac{2^{n}}{e^{n}}+1\right)\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}$

Hello
Does a) linearly independent because there are no free variables in the REF and is not a spanning set of R^3 because there are only two standard basis?
And is d) linearly dependent because it has free variables in the fourth column and is a spanning set of R^3?
yes
Also any set of strictly more than 3 vectors in R^3 is immediately linearly dependent

Not sure how to tackle this one
I thought itll be smthng to do with the identity C(n+2, 3) = C(n+1,2) + C(n+1,3)
induction maybe?
ah I presume this is for a combinatorics class then?
Not really self learning
i jus reckon itll help my understanding
kinda struggle with counting and all ig
I see I see. Well you can try #combinatorial-structures maybe. I don't know much about the subject matter myself
I dont think i can use it but ill look into that
thanks
yeah. Sorry, I am not a good counter myself. It's why I do analysis
fair enough 😭
counting really gets confusing
Btw I am allowed to use an ug role even if im not
we sound like idiots out of context 
ug myself right?
fr counting is so trivial, whats hard about 1, 2, 3 and so on
ug?

Would it still be correct if I leave the + C in there or should I move it outside or does it not matter
2C is another constant
so it doesnt matter whether i move it in or outside?

can I just make the argument that
Let M = A1A2
Let C = A3A4
det(MC) = det(M) * det(C)
= det(A1 * A2) * det(A3 * A4)
= det(A1) * det(A2) * det(A3) * det(A4)

I'm supposed to use triple integrals to calculate the volume of a solid, but I got the question wrong and I"m not sure what's wrong with my approach
Write six triple integrals 😭
the teacher marked these all as wrong but I don't know why
apparently all but the outside integrals are wrong
tbf they're pretty simple triple integrals
every outer integral is incorrect?
my approach was just to use the linearity of the solid to set it up as just a bunch of triangles
apparently that doesn't work tho?
It should, isn't necessarily hard to picture the sweeping when fixing each variable

hallo
f(x) = (3x + 1)/2
g(x) = x/2
Consider all possible compositions: f(x), g(x), f(f(x)), f(g(x)), g(f(x)), f(f(f(g(f(g(x)))))), etc. i want to prove they all result in different functions
what kind of math do i need to do this? i know this forms a transformation semigroup but idk if it's necessary to involve that
@prisma rain Has your question been resolved?
maybe approach this in terms of function properties?
I'm a high schooler so I don't actually know what I'm talking about
but you could maybe look at how they transform the slope and y intercepts of the functions
like okay instead of functions we think of a vector of these two properties
and then the functions become
f(x,y) = <x/2,y/2>
g(x,y) = <3x/2, 3y/2 + 1/2>
sorry I'm not even helping atp I'm just trying to work this out
okay so then you can identify the amount of f(x) and g(x)s were used to compose a function
just by factorization
oh wait and then the two starting vectors would be
for f(x) as the root, <3/2, 1/2>
and for g(x) it'd be <1/2, 0>
Just solve all of them
of the slope
And show they yeild different result
in the case where you only have one g(x), you can identify its position pretty easily
Do you know what you yapping about ?
not at all
Ok stop the yapping
just by factorizing the y intercept
The only way to prove it ,is just solving it and showing it
There is no other proofs to prove them
This is just so wrong
why
Why?
yeah
bcs if you have like
f(f(f(f(f(g(f(f(f(x))))))))
it'll have a y intercept of like
Show you can get count of f(x) , g(x) by factorising mathematically
1/128
this part is easy actually
so
Do it
the slope of the function is gonna be determined by which one of these functions gets applied
this is the transformation they do to the function
😭
as a vector of <slope, y intercept>
since one multiples it by 3/2, and the other doesn't
Prove by solving a set of function fr
And you will see the issue
the amount of g(x)'s is gonna be determined by the amount of factors of three in the numerator
the amount of f(x)'s is gonna be determind by subtracting that from the number of 2's in the numerator
qed
🥺
for like, more than a few repetitions of this
Are you trolling ? Or something
I can't figure out the induction step here
How do you even manage to convert a 1 variable into 2 variable ?
Because it's not possible
Slope doesn't work that way
what do you mean?
F(something ) will have the slope of f(x) but that doesn't mean
F((g(x) will have a combination of two slope
It will just have slope of f(x)
Or it will have different slope
if f(x) = x/3 and g(x) = x/2, f(g(x)) will have the slope of their product
this is true for all linear functions
F(x) = 4x-3 and g(x) = 3x-9
Try now
- what you will get is x/6
Its not slope
composition, not multiplication
I'm trying to figure out whether or not two g(x)'s can be located
Oh yeah mb
idk what kind of induction u can do
honestly it looks like collatz
but that might just b a coincidence
or they're trying to do their own investigation
wait Is it
it would be funny but I don't think it is
wait is it actually
yea it is
f is a 2 step collatz I think
man
I thought I was onto something
how is this statement equivalent to collatz
it's not
it's just asking if each combination of compositions is unique
i think u can cover Z adjoin 1/2 with the constant term tho
oh except the negatives
I think this might be equivalent to collatz in some weird way
no it's a simpler question
there's infinitely many to check
Eh ? What
I am talking about op's question
all possible composition
u cant just look at the constant term, ff and gffff give constant terms of 1
yea, I'm taking about OP's question
They given all the composition and the f(x) and g(x)
idk! im more focused on answering the question they posited but go and look at it some more and see if it does connect in that way
"etc"
you can at least figure out how many there are of each with the slope
Oh
that doesn't seem right
wait
yeah no it's not
what I know so far is:
the slope uniquely identifies the number of both of them
if you have one f(x) you can identify exactly where it is w the constant
er I've been mixing them up
there
yeah the numerator is 3^n where n is how many compositions of f u have
if you have two g's can you uniquely determine their positions
And you can get number of f function using dem - the number of f
this is where I got stuck
But again what if the order is different but number of function is same ?
Like g(f(x) and f(g(x))
something tells me you can
fg gives $\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$
gf gives $\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{1}{4}$
betterert
You can't check the constant term like you do for slope tho?
how do u mean
i dont understand their question
oh
they're just a little confused I think
I'm actually gonna get a repl real quick and run through like, the first 128 combinations or smth
just to peek around
We could check the slope easily and say it's different for each number of f(x) and g(x) as both doesn't have a common factor
But how will you get constant are different for each combination
tryitonline my beloved
oh, I think you can simplify the problem a little if we have k=3x+1
then f=g(k)
not sure if that helps though
k doesn't exist as a combination of f's or g's tho
so it's kinda outside the domain of the question
nevermind I haven't prgorammed in months I don't feel like googling syntax
i aint have enough experience with discrete mathematics like OP alluded to to do anything like that
but i have enough to say that including k might make a proof easier
ah I can do it
could you print out the constant term for
f(x)
g(x)
f(f(x))
f(g(x))
g(f(x))
g(g(x))
f(f(f(x))
etc
gfg and gf have the same constant term
do they?
Different slope
yeah
from your thing, we don't need to check if the number of f and g in 2 sequence is different right?
Only need to see if they have the same constant with same slope
u cant determine the problem based off of the constant term
Yeah
could u append the functions also
nor with the coefficient alone
Only gotta check where the order of f and g differ
We need both
that's the word I was looking for
We already know that
Ig we could prove it always yields different results when the order is different
that's the question asked
the constant for n f(x)'s composed together would be
uhhh
0
For the same number of f and g
srry i keep mixing them
Could be just n/2
f multiplies by 3/2 and then adds 1/2
Oh
be a weird series
that's so annoying to think about
yeah
Eh probably possible to prove by induction but won't be a proper proof tho
prove what by induction
Constants differ for different order of f and g
what would u be inducting tho
The pattern
oh
oh my god im stupid sorry
lemme try again
I should have the computer do this
lemme get the first 20
$f_n = \frac{3^nx}{2^n}$ plus the constant term
betterert
Ok so if x isn't -1/2 then the order of f and g doesn't matter
If we exchange the order of f f f f or ggggg it doesn't matter too
Because all of them will just count as a single combination
Can anyone prove -1/2 can't be formed by any operation of f and g
-1/2 given what value of x
Any value
idk
The different order will only be equal when the operation gets -1/2 and then next operations as different
You aren't fixing x
You just need to prove
-1/2 can't be formed by any x anywhere
But it could be formed when x = -1 and then the first operation is g(x)
So ig it's only possible to prove the whole thing
If x is greater than 0
i dont think that would prove the question we're asking
if any combination of compositions cant reach a certain value
that doesnt mean two different combinations of compositions cant be the same value
It could tho? The different order can only ever result into same answer if it has -1/2 inbetween the values followed by different type of function
I got -1/2 by equating the f(x) and g(x)
The f(x) and g(x) can only ever replace each other if they give equal values for x
And the equal value ever happens if x= -1/2
1: 1/2 : 0.5

20: 3485735825/1048576 : 3324.2567300797
By proving -1/2 can't ever happen
w decimal values added
decimal values are useless tho
I can probably print the prime factorization of the numeral too
wait that sounds a lot more useful lemme do that
yeah try that
for any two combinations of compositions, there exists some x value such that they are equal
unless they have the same coefficient
Oh nvm I got it
The constant term can never be less than 0
Yea it was a simple proof
Ok so what I did is I just assumed a inbetween term we will get as
z=yx+c
Put them inside both f(x) and g(x) and equated the constant part
The constant part becomes equal only and if only c = -1/2
Which is never possible here because the term which gives constant is +1/2 from f
we're doing repeated composition tho
Will be same
You can't replace f by another f cuz it results in same combination
The only issue happened when f and g was replaceable by each other
Which i just proved not possible
By @verbal blaze proof of different number of f and g give different slope
And mine
gfg and gf have the same constant value
and fg and gf have the same slope?
You can say it will be always a different term regardless of the order or number of functions
But I just showed fg and gf can't have same constant value
but they do
And gfg and gf have different slove proven by @verbal blaze
Eh they don't ?
You showed the result
It was 1/4 and 1/2
Different constant term
$fg = \frac{3\frac{x}{2} + 1}{2} = \frac{3x+3}{4}$
betterert
So yea that's the solution
$gf = \frac{3x+1}{4}$
betterert
Yes constant terms is different?
is weird
fg has a coefficient of 3/4
gf has a coefficient of 3/4
They don't
That's slope
The constant are different
I mean this makes sense
fg has a constant term of 1/2
gf has a constant term of 1/4
gfg has a constant term of 1/4
given you can only divide it by two or increase it
ah i fucked up my arithmetic
this makes sense I think
Listen carefully
We got two proofs
-
When number of function differ their slopes differ (lexica proved)
-
Order of operations doesn't matter for same number of function ,constants will always be different (my proof)
Yeah
That's the whole sum
It was easy I just thought it was a hs school sum and didn't think too much of it
Yeah ?
Why you need that for?
where it's basically taking the biggest chunk out of the number you can before moving down
??? What
can u reply to the message where she proved that a different number of functions proves the coefficient differs
You were there ?
Babi is right u don’t need much more
if i remembered it i wouldnt ask
it's just the prime factorization of the slope
remember?
where
The slope will be always just 3^nf(x) at top
the amount of 2's in the denominator is the total of the functions
the amount of 3's in the numerator is the amount of f(x)'s
oh ok
yea
Up
Its mostly logical
Hear carfully
Replacing a f by f will just be same order
Same goes for g
Right ?
So only issue happens if and only if f can replace function g
Which can only happen if and only if both yield the same constants
Right ?
@verbal blaze
right okay sure
yeah
how do you prove that two changes can't cancel each other out tho
Now just put y= zx+c in both function
You will get c in both function
Equate them
You get c=-1/2
Which means
isn't your proof only for 1 swap?
The constants will be same if and only if c=-1/2
that's what I'm saying
Its same for all swaps
But u can induct it
You can never get c = -1/2
yea it's like f(...) vs g(...)
can you?
So the number of swaps doesn't matter
Yes
Let's say I got g f g f g f
okay
And f g f g f g
I already showed one swap will lead to different coefficient right?
You understand that right
yeah sure
yeah
Now I swap the first 2 function
I will get
F g gf gf
Now he second pair and so on
we will never ever get c = -1/2 anywhere
C is always will be greater than 0
this is the part I'm struggling to get
I just equated both constant terms of the function
how do u know gfgfg and fggfg wont have the same constant value
u know fgfg and ggfg wont, but what about gfgfg and fggfg?
bcs gf =/= fg
yeah
And replacing both f by f or g by g will be just same combination
what about like f g g f and g f f g?
Thus problem solved
this is what comes to mind
Same you never get -1/2
It doesn't matter the order
You never get -1/2 for constant
can u clarify wym by never getting -1/2
that seems to be a key step in your argument but I don't quite understand what u mean
what you've showed is f g g f ≠ g f g f
but how do you then get to g f f g?
And its always positive because c is given initially only by f(x) right?
I understand the -1/2 thing
but if you do 2 swaps, they don't stay unequal
G(x) can't give the c
given some function h
gh and fh cant give the same constant term
in order for them to do so, h would require a constant term of -1/2
They don't
okay right
That's the point
We don't want them to be equal
We want them to be different
Thus problem solved
It doesn't matter whatever order you got, you can never get negative constant
how?
bc from what I understand, you show that sequence ≠ swap(sequence)
and swap(sequence) ≠ swap(swap(sequence))
but that doesn't mean sequence ≠ swap(swap(sequence))
they could be equal
I think for any string fgfg etc etc, if you take the last term and put it at the start the constant changes
They are because let's say I got from one swap and get a different seq and then again swap to get what you wanted
But I did two swap
By my proof , the two swap can't have equal constants
Unless c = -1/2
would it be possible to get to g f f g from f g g f in an odd number of swaps?
ok can we define "swap"
cuz idk if ur referring to fgfgfg -> gffgfg
or fgfgfg -> ggfgfg
If the swap was just fg gf it will still lead to different coefficient
I think we're saying a swap is changing any term gf to fg or vice versa
The swap will only be equal if the initial seq = final seq
well fgh != gfh
Yeah
I don'tthink so
yeah no u cant
Try equating with two swap, you will still need the constant term to be negative
Problem solved
No more questions
Go home
okay wait but I think for any odd string you can reach any other odd string with the same characters
using swaps
like
fgg
gfg
ggf
and that's all of them
if u show it's associative for all combinations of 3 characters then i think u win
?
Me?
I just did
well
or maybe im misapplying my group theory knowledge
no wait I did
Dw we solved it
just invert them
you proved that fggf ≠ gfgf and gfgf ≠ gffg
but can't fggf = gffg still?
Don't think too much
how did they prove fggf != gfgf
all they did was prove fh != gh
oh what's h
I missed that
well fg =!= gf
so swapping them anywhere should make it unequal
oh I thought that they proved gfh ≠ fgh
I did too
xd
uh I think gfh =!= fgh is kinda trivial
yeah
hgf =!= hfg also
actually no
why not?
no not that
how do u know that given different sequences of compositions, like i and j
that hi != hj
given i and j are not equal
you don't
h is 1 to 1
so if fg ≠ gf, then hfg ≠ hgf
that's just not true
you have to say that i and j are permutations of each other
in which case it is
oh
wait, wouldn't that prove OP's question?
There is also another way to look at this
Gf is always greater than fg always
More like the later you get f the bigger your constant term will be
which is fine tho bcs if they're not permutations of each other then they're disambiguated by slope
it's conjecture xd I don't have a proof
also it doesn't work for the fggf ? gffg case
In theory constant term of fggf should be higher than gffg
from your first thing
they would be permutations of each other though
Someone check that rq
u check it bruh
wym
Where ?
that's a different thing
but it might be something
with a pen and paper
if 2 sequence is equal, the number of their f and g must be the same
sure
yeah we showed that earlier
wdym it's the contrapositive of our result
Wat
I'm a dumbass
it seemed cooler in my head than the way they said it tho
no wait
our result IS stronger
Why could that have any effect when talking about constant terms tho?
bcs we didn't just get equality
Which result is weaker?
@proper minnow I'm talking about this
if the total number of functions composed is unequal, then the sequences are unequal
if the sequences are equal, then the total number of functions composed is equal
these are logically equivalent
yeah my result says more than that
it was that slope uniquely determines the number of both functions
oh yeah
thanks to which we only have to worry about permutations
Why we tracing back to the initial proof
Yeah
if n is number of f's and m is number of g's
then $slope = \frac{3^n}{2^{n+m}}$
yeah that
so this property follows
did i fuck it up somehow?
bot's broken I think
conjecture:
for any permutation of a binary string of size n (where n is odd), swaps generate all other permutations
tru for n = 3
anyone know the math we need for this
They don't for all n tho
F f g g can't yeild f f f f by swapping
permutations
permutation not combination
yeah what she said
Oh yeah mb
I think it does
but what would be the continuation?
we have to prove it
I mean after that
well
okay assuming this conjecture we've proven the original statement for all odd n
well
no
not true
false actually
the swaps are weaker than I first thought
I'd rather do this than my homework
I mean doing this why tho
also I just failed my multivariable calculus final and need to blow off some stress
in the space of functions are all h one to one ...
We already got the op sum done
yeah
they're all lines
no not R to R
Eh how many variables ?
in the spac eof functions ...
X y z?
yeah
oh true
if ur lucky u even throw a w in there 😱
You in hs right?
she got the undergrad math role so i dont think so
yeah and i make questionable decisions with my enrollment
ok nvm
Eh which country?
I should not have signed up for that dual enrollment class
guns
how old r u
America?
17
America?
yeag
wait actually
uh
uhhhh
no nvm
You guys got calculus? I heard it's only in college for usa
at least we have gh =/= fh
i mean i took 1 and 2 with dual enrollment
im just built different
I mean
not different enough to not fail the class but still
girl took multivar i didnt even know u could do that
first math class I failed
boutta get ALL my applications rescinded
er admissions I mean
Don't your whole class got calculus?
u took multivariable tho
not many hs students do that
no just the special kids
ig
idk I failed today bcs I don't know how to take surface integrals
Yeah usa good in that
double and triple or what
yeah
In India gotta take every math courses 😭
idk r u supposed to get the jacobian of the polarized form of the surface or what
i want line integrals and all vector calc
?
we had line integrals on the exam
those were the easy parts
Sat doesn't even have that , where are you gonna use it ?
just green's theorem
or cry
lowk I did the second one because I kept getting non closed curves
my university "multivariable calculus" class didnt do any of that
lmao
is this a good enough condition
is it?
My School just did upto getting volume of shapes using integrals
god I wish it was just that
- differential equations
not even lol
We got multiple variables integrals too
god I wish it was just that
Its important
What else you have ?
u think so?
gh != fh
fgh != gfh
is that enough
what about ffgh and ggfh
Ah there is also another statment I made
If f comes at the very last the constant term will be big
surface integrals
which are MISERABLE
they cost me the class
Isn't just getting areas of a shape ?
that's with the fuckass limits of integration right
and now I have to explain to my colleges why this lovely student didn't pass her very hard and impressive and cool college class
and why they should still let me apply as a math major pleasepleaseplease
its where you take the integral along the surface
perimeter
Calculus doesn't matter for many topics
hm
So no big deal
like shells in calc II?
we're not guaranteed that
^ me when no one reads my statements
kinda?
more like fluid flow into and out of a boundary
