#

so 42+10(1-(7/10)^8)

#

over 1-7/10

elder scaffold
#

$42+\frac{10(1-{\frac{7}{10}}^8)}{1-\frac{7}{10}}$

lilac sluice
#

ohhhhh

twin meteorBOT
#

Galaxy

lilac sluice
#

i never would’ve gotten that wtf

elder scaffold
#

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

lilac sluice
#

but why isn’t it 10 instead of the 42 on the outside

#

and vice versa

#

since T1 would be 42

elder scaffold
#

t1 is week 1

#

so it should be 52

lilac sluice
#

so then why wouldn’t it be 52 instead of the 10

#

basically 10 on the outside and 52 next to the bracket

elder scaffold
#

because the 42 isnt going to change, its base height is always 42 cm tall

lilac sluice
#

ohhh

elder scaffold
#

whats actually changing is the amount it grows by each week

lilac sluice
#

so hypothetically if we used T2 instead of T1, we would put 7 instead of 10?

elder scaffold
#

yeah

lilac sluice
#

ahhhh okay

#

i’m cooked then

elder scaffold
#

your fine, you've got a whole year to learn this stuff

#

itll be easy by the end of it

lilac sluice
#

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

elder scaffold
#

do the results actually matter?

lilac sluice
#

kind of

#

i wanna promote to A2 next term

#

rn i’m in A3

elder scaffold
#

oh theres tiers to his tutoring?

lilac sluice
#

yea

#

A1, A2, A3, B

elder scaffold
#

sounds odd, whats the difference?

lilac sluice
#

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

elder scaffold
#

thats weird

lilac sluice
#

it’s alright

#

and to promote u need a termly average of 90% + top 5% in the cohort

elder scaffold
#

are you yr 12 rn?

lilac sluice
#

year 10

#

they teach in advancr

elder scaffold
#

ah so u learn content early then

lilac sluice
#

yep

#

some of which i can actually apply to my school exams which is helpful

#

like trig

elder scaffold
#

yeah trig is in everything

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

good thing to be useful at for hsc

lilac sluice
#

mhm

#

i’m pretty good at trig

#

speaking of trig can u help me with this one question

elder scaffold
#

sure

lilac sluice
#

c ii

elder scaffold
#

construct a triangle it seems

lilac sluice
#

wdym

#

oh like right angled triangle?

elder scaffold
#

yeah

lilac sluice
#

ok

elder scaffold
#

arccot and arctan are just angles

lilac sluice
#

so the angle is x

#

?

elder scaffold
#

nah thats one of the lengths

#

take cot of both sides

lilac sluice
#

i don’t understand

elder scaffold
#

youll see that $x=cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-\arctan{x})$

twin meteorBOT
#

Galaxy

lilac sluice
#

true

#

but then what

elder scaffold
#

probably start somewhere else

#

let arctanx = theta

#

so tan(theta)=x

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

now construct a triangle

#

which satisfies tan theta = x

lilac sluice
#

does this work?

elder scaffold
#

yeahg

lilac sluice
#

then what do i do

elder scaffold
#

then notice that the other angle is pi/2-theta

lilac sluice
#

we take tan of that?

#

or cot of it

elder scaffold
#

cot

#

so u should get $\cot(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta)=x$

twin meteorBOT
#

Galaxy

lilac sluice
#

yes

#

so pi/2 - theta = arcccotx

elder scaffold
#

yep

lilac sluice
#

ah

#

okay

#

what’s the range of y=arccos(e^x)

elder scaffold
#

sorry mb i went to get a drink

lilac sluice
#

allgs

elder scaffold
#

first determine the domain

lilac sluice
#

x must be less than or equal to 0

elder scaffold
#

right

#

so at x=0 we get y=0 right

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

and as x approaches -infinity e^x would approach 0 correct

lilac sluice
#

uhhhh

#

how

#

is e^x just a log graph

elder scaffold
#

so $e^{-\infty}=\frac{1}{e^{\infty}}$ by indice laws

twin meteorBOT
#

Galaxy

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

and the denominator becomes a infinitely large

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

which makes the number really small

lilac sluice
#

yes

elder scaffold
#

practically 0

lilac sluice
#

mhm

elder scaffold
#

so then it becomes arccos(0)

#

which is pi/2

lilac sluice
#

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

elder scaffold
#

yeah thats true

lilac sluice
#

and it’s bc x approaches infinity but never reaches it

#

so it never reaches pi/2

elder scaffold
#

yep

lilac sluice
#

ah alright

log(a)^n is nlog(a)

#

thats right

azure oyster
#

nice, thanks

#

so what is the next step? I have no clue how to proceed

cobalt oxide
#

think of it as

#

$e^{g(x)*ln[f(x)]} where f(x) = 2^{n} + e^{n}, g(x)=1/n$

azure oyster
#

its e^0?

twin meteorBOT
azure oyster
#

welp, its $e^{0 \times ln(\infty \times \infty)}$?

twin meteorBOT
peak matrix
#

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

cobalt oxide
#

wait yeah

#

the 1/n bring out just the e

azure oyster
#

you mean $\lim_{n \to \infty} (e^n(\frac{2^n}{e^n}+1)^{\frac{1}{n}}$?

now apply few exponent rules

Hello

vocal sleetBOT
lilac plaza
#

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?

tawny sorrel
#

yes

dull bear
#

Also any set of strictly more than 3 vectors in R^3 is immediately linearly dependent catokay

Make sense :)))

going over some basic differentiation

#

wondering if this looks correct?

#

its basic chainrule so it should be fine right?

cobalt ocean
spring gate
#

:3

#

ty for the confirmation

#

also this should become (1.75*sin(2.143x))/2.143?

cobalt ocean
#

sure

spring gate
#

ok good, i always get mixed up when dealing with this on how your ment to write it

hows about this? im feeling very uncertain about integration and its iffy

#

Would it still be correct if I leave the + C in there or should I move it outside or does it not matter

silk osprey
#

2C is another constant

desert glen
#

so it doesnt matter whether i move it in or outside?

silk osprey
#

you might want to distinguish the two if you do though

like by writing C_1 and C_2

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

tulip cedar
#

Write six triple integrals 😭

verbal blaze
#

the teacher marked these all as wrong but I don't know why

#

apparently all but the outside integrals are wrong

verbal blaze
tulip cedar
#

every outer integral is incorrect?

verbal blaze
#

yeah

#

and I got part a correct

verbal blaze
#

apparently that doesn't work tho?

tulip cedar

It should, isn't necessarily hard to picture the sweeping when fixing each variable

im p aure row reduction uses matricies

prisma rain
#

hallo

vocal sleetBOT
prisma rain
#

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

vocal sleetBOT
#

@prisma rain Has your question been resolved?

verbal blaze
#

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

verbal blaze
#

just by factorization

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

And show they yeild different result

verbal blaze
proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

The only way to prove it ,is just solving it and showing it

#

There is no other proofs to prove them

proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

yeah

#

bcs if you have like
f(f(f(f(f(g(f(f(f(x))))))))

#

it'll have a y intercept of like

proper minnow
#

Show you can get count of f(x) , g(x) by factorising mathematically

verbal blaze
#

1/128

verbal blaze
#

so

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

the slope of the function is gonna be determined by which one of these functions gets applied

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
#

as a vector of <slope, y intercept>

#

since one multiples it by 3/2, and the other doesn't

proper minnow
#

And you will see the issue

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
#

Ngl idk tf you talking about

#

Show examples

verbal blaze
#

I don't want to

#

that sounds really annoying to do

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

for like, more than a few repetitions of this

proper minnow
#

Are you trolling ? Or something

verbal blaze
proper minnow
proper minnow
#

Slope doesn't work that way

verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

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

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
#

Try now

proper minnow
#

Its not slope

fringe scarab
#

composition, not multiplication

verbal blaze
proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

idk what kind of induction u can do

verbal blaze
#

but that might just b a coincidence

#

or they're trying to do their own investigation

fringe scarab
#

wait Is it

verbal blaze
#

it would be funny but I don't think it is

fringe scarab
#

it is

#

lol

verbal blaze
#

wait is it actually

fringe scarab
gentle sleet
#

yea it is
f is a 2 step collatz I think

verbal blaze
#

man
I thought I was onto something

fringe scarab
#

wait no it almost is

#

oh yeah what sepdron said

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

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

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

no it's a simpler question

proper minnow
#

Just solve all of them and see

#

Fr

gentle sleet
#

there's infinitely many to check

proper minnow
proper minnow
gentle sleet
#

all possible composition

fringe scarab
#

u cant just look at the constant term, ff and gffff give constant terms of 1

verbal blaze
#

was I onto something, then

gentle sleet
proper minnow
fringe scarab
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

Oh

fringe scarab
#

wait

verbal blaze
#

yeah no it's not

fringe scarab
#

yeah nvm

#

teehee

verbal blaze
#

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

fringe scarab
#

yeah the numerator is 3^n where n is how many compositions of f u have

verbal blaze
#

if you have two g's can you uniquely determine their positions

proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

But again what if the order is different but number of function is same ?

#

Like g(f(x) and f(g(x))

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

fg gives $\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$
gf gives $\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{1}{4}$

twin meteorBOT
#

betterert

verbal blaze
#

yeah

#

#g = 1 case is trivial

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

how do u mean

verbal blaze
#

like if there's only one g

fringe scarab
#

i dont understand their question

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
gentle sleet
#

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

verbal blaze
#

so it's kinda outside the domain of the question

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

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

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

gfg and gf have the same constant term

verbal blaze
#

do they?

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

oh yeah

#

they do

fringe scarab
#

yeah

gentle sleet
proper minnow
#

Only need to see if they have the same constant with same slope

fringe scarab
#

u cant determine the problem based off of the constant term

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

nor with the coefficient alone

proper minnow
#

Only gotta check where the order of f and g differ

proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

We already know that

#

Ig we could prove it always yields different results when the order is different

fringe scarab
#

that's the question asked

verbal blaze
#

the constant for n f(x)'s composed together would be
uhhh

fringe scarab
#

0

proper minnow
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

Could be just n/2

fringe scarab
#

f multiplies by 3/2 and then adds 1/2

proper minnow
#

Oh

fringe scarab
#

be a weird series

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

Eh probably possible to prove by induction but won't be a proper proof tho

fringe scarab
#

prove what by induction

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

what would u be inducting tho

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

how did u get 9/4

#

i got 5/4

verbal blaze
#

oh

#

oh my god im stupid sorry

#

lemme try again

#

I should have the computer do this

#

lemme get the first 20

fringe scarab
#

$f_n = \frac{3^nx}{2^n}$ plus the constant term

twin meteorBOT
#

betterert

proper minnow
#

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

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

-1/2 given what value of x

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

idk

proper minnow
#

The different order will only be equal when the operation gets -1/2 and then next operations as different

fringe scarab
#

either way i feel like u lose generality there

#

if u fix x

proper minnow
#

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

fringe scarab
#

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

proper minnow
#

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

proper minnow
#

By proving -1/2 can't ever happen

verbal blaze
#

constant terms acquired

#

upon further inspection this is kinda just garbage

#

xd

fringe scarab
#

u double and add half of 2^n

#

nice

fringe scarab
#

decimal values are useless tho

verbal blaze
#

I can probably print the prime factorization of the numeral too

#

wait that sounds a lot more useful lemme do that

fringe scarab
#

yeah try that

fringe scarab
#

unless they have the same coefficient

proper minnow
#

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

fringe scarab
#

we're doing repeated composition tho

proper minnow
proper minnow
#

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

fringe scarab
#

gfg and gf have the same constant value
and fg and gf have the same slope?

proper minnow
#

You can say it will be always a different term regardless of the order or number of functions

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

but they do

proper minnow
#

And gfg and gf have different slove proven by @verbal blaze

proper minnow
#

You showed the result

#

It was 1/4 and 1/2

#

Different constant term

fringe scarab
#

$fg = \frac{3\frac{x}{2} + 1}{2} = \frac{3x+3}{4}$

twin meteorBOT
#

betterert

proper minnow
#

So yea that's the solution

fringe scarab
#

$gf = \frac{3x+1}{4}$

twin meteorBOT
#

betterert

verbal blaze
#

fg and gf having the same constant disproves my previous result

#

which

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

is weird

fringe scarab
#

fg has a coefficient of 3/4
gf has a coefficient of 3/4

proper minnow
#

The constant are different

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

fg has a constant term of 1/2
gf has a constant term of 1/4
gfg has a constant term of 1/4

verbal blaze
#

given you can only divide it by two or increase it

fringe scarab
#

ah i fucked up my arithmetic

proper minnow
#

Listen carefully

We got two proofs

  1. When number of function differ their slopes differ (lexica proved)

  2. Order of operations doesn't matter for same number of function ,constants will always be different (my proof)

fringe scarab
#

no but

#

what

proper minnow
#

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

verbal blaze
#

oh wait

#

okay so

#

u know how to convert a decimal number to binary

proper minnow
#

Why you need that for?

verbal blaze
#

where it's basically taking the biggest chunk out of the number you can before moving down

fringe scarab
vast shale
#

Babi is right u don’t need much more

fringe scarab
#

if i remembered it i wouldnt ask

verbal blaze
#

remember?

fringe scarab
#

where

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

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

fringe scarab
#

oh ok

verbal blaze
#

yea

proper minnow
#

Yea

#

So proven

verbal blaze
#

okay wait

#

you proved the constants differ? where?

proper minnow
#

Up

proper minnow
#

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

verbal blaze
#

right okay sure

fringe scarab
#

yeah

verbal blaze
#

how do you prove that two changes can't cancel each other out tho

proper minnow
#

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

gentle sleet
#

isn't your proof only for 1 swap?

proper minnow
#

The constants will be same if and only if c=-1/2

verbal blaze
proper minnow
vast shale
#

But u can induct it

proper minnow
#

You can never get c = -1/2

gentle sleet
#

yea it's like f(...) vs g(...)

verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

So the number of swaps doesn't matter

vast shale
proper minnow
#

Let's say I got g f g f g f

verbal blaze
#

okay

proper minnow
#

And f g f g f g

#

I already showed one swap will lead to different coefficient right?

#

You understand that right

verbal blaze
#

yeah sure

fringe scarab
#

yeah

proper minnow
#

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

verbal blaze
proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

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?

proper minnow
#

They only equal od the constant term was -1/2

#

Which isn't possible

proper minnow
#

They won't because

#

^

verbal blaze
#

yeah

proper minnow
#

And replacing both f by f or g by g will be just same combination

gentle sleet
#

what about like f g g f and g f f g?

proper minnow
#

Thus problem solved

verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

It doesn't matter the order

#

You never get -1/2 for constant

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
#

Ok so

#

C is just constant term

gentle sleet
proper minnow
#

And its always positive because c is given initially only by f(x) right?

gentle sleet
proper minnow
#

G(x) can't give the c

fringe scarab
proper minnow
#

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

gentle sleet
# proper minnow They don't

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

verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

But I did two swap

#

By my proof , the two swap can't have equal constants

#

Unless c = -1/2

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

ok can we define "swap"
cuz idk if ur referring to fgfgfg -> gffgfg
or fgfgfg -> ggfgfg

proper minnow
#

If the swap was just fg gf it will still lead to different coefficient

verbal blaze
proper minnow
#

The swap will only be equal if the initial seq = final seq

fringe scarab
#

well fgh != gfh

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

yeah no u cant

proper minnow
#

Problem solved

#

No more questions

#

Go home

verbal blaze
#

okay wait but I think for any odd string you can reach any other odd string with the same characters

#

using swaps

proper minnow
#

Ok so?

#

.close this fr

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

if u show it's associative for all combinations of 3 characters then i think u win

proper minnow
#

?

fringe scarab
#

or maybe im misapplying my group theory knowledge

verbal blaze
#

no wait I did

proper minnow
#

Dw we solved it

verbal blaze
#

just invert them

gentle sleet
proper minnow
#

Don't think too much

fringe scarab
#

how did they prove fggf != gfgf
all they did was prove fh != gh

gentle sleet
#

oh what's h
I missed that

fringe scarab
#

any function

#

like any combination of compositions

verbal blaze
gentle sleet
#

oh I thought that they proved gfh ≠ fgh

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

i was gonna ask "are the functions one to one" but they're lines so yeah

#

ok

verbal blaze
#

uh I think gfh =!= fgh is kinda trivial

fringe scarab
#

yeah

verbal blaze
#

hgf =!= hfg also

fringe scarab
#

actually no

verbal blaze
#

why not?

fringe scarab
#

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

verbal blaze
#

you don't

gentle sleet
#

h is 1 to 1
so if fg ≠ gf, then hfg ≠ hgf

verbal blaze
#

you have to say that i and j are permutations of each other

#

in which case it is

fringe scarab
#

oh

gentle sleet
proper minnow
verbal blaze
verbal blaze
#

also it doesn't work for the fggf ? gffg case

proper minnow
gentle sleet
proper minnow
#

Someone check that rq

fringe scarab
#

u check it bruh

proper minnow
gentle sleet
fringe scarab
#

with a pen and paper

proper minnow
#

Too much work

gentle sleet
fringe scarab
#

yeah we showed that earlier

verbal blaze
#

our result was stronger than that actually

#

for the record

fringe scarab
#

wdym it's the contrapositive of our result

verbal blaze
#

uhh wait

#

oh yeah

verbal blaze
#

I'm a dumbass

#

it seemed cooler in my head than the way they said it tho

#

no wait

#

our result IS stronger

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

bcs we didn't just get equality

proper minnow
gentle sleet
fringe scarab
#

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

verbal blaze
#

yeah my result says more than that

#

it was that slope uniquely determines the number of both functions

fringe scarab
#

oh yeah

verbal blaze
#

thanks to which we only have to worry about permutations

proper minnow
#

Why we tracing back to the initial proof

fringe scarab
#

if n is number of f's and m is number of g's
then $slope = \frac{3^n}{2^{n+m}}$

verbal blaze
#

yeah that

fringe scarab
#

$slope = \frac{3^n}{2^{n+m}}$

#

come on bot u got it

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

did i fuck it up somehow?

verbal blaze
#

I mean

#

latex is p easy to read

fringe scarab
#

$\frac{3^n}{2^{n+m}}$

#

ok i give up

verbal blaze
#

anyways

#

okay so

gentle sleet
#

bot's broken I think

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
#

F f g g can't yeild f f f f by swapping

verbal blaze
#

permutations

fringe scarab
#

permutation not combination

verbal blaze
#

yeah what she said

proper minnow
#

Oh yeah mb

gentle sleet
verbal blaze
gentle sleet
#

I mean after that

verbal blaze
#

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

proper minnow
#

Again why are we proving this tho?

#

What's the use

verbal blaze
#

I'd rather do this than my homework

proper minnow
#

I mean doing this why tho

verbal blaze
#

also I just failed my multivariable calculus final and need to blow off some stress

fringe scarab
#

in the space of functions are all h one to one ...

proper minnow
#

We already got the op sum done

verbal blaze
#

they're all lines

fringe scarab
#

no not R to R

fringe scarab
#

in the spac eof functions ...

verbal blaze
#

oh

#

uh

proper minnow
#

X y z?

verbal blaze
#

yes? yes

#

yes I'm pretty sure

fringe scarab
#

cuz if all h are one to one then hi != hj

#

u know

#

then we kinda win a little

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

if ur lucky u even throw a w in there 😱

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

she got the undergrad math role so i dont think so

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

ok nvm

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

I should not have signed up for that dual enrollment class

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

how old r u

proper minnow
#

America?

verbal blaze
proper minnow
verbal blaze
verbal blaze
#

uh

#

uhhhh

#

no nvm

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

at least we have gh =/= fh

fringe scarab
#

i mean i took 1 and 2 with dual enrollment

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

girl took multivar i didnt even know u could do that

verbal blaze
#

boutta get ALL my applications rescinded

#

er admissions I mean

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

u took multivariable tho
not many hs students do that

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
#

idk I failed today bcs I don't know how to take surface integrals

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

double and triple or what

verbal blaze
#

yeah

proper minnow
#

In India gotta take every math courses 😭

fringe scarab
#

yeah my university is teaching that neutered ass multivariable too

#

pissing me off

verbal blaze
#

idk r u supposed to get the jacobian of the polarized form of the surface or what

fringe scarab
#

i want line integrals and all vector calc

verbal blaze
#

we had line integrals on the exam

#

those were the easy parts

fringe scarab
#

ok

#

nv,

#

yeah see

proper minnow
verbal blaze
#

just green's theorem

#

or cry

#

lowk I did the second one because I kept getting non closed curves

fringe scarab
#

my university "multivariable calculus" class didnt do any of that

verbal blaze
#

lmao

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

oh wait

#

lmao i think it is

verbal blaze
#

is it?

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

cuz gh and fh just turn into new h's

#

so gh != fh again

verbal blaze
fringe scarab
#

oh wait that's only ffffffffh and gggggggh

#

):

using the slope condition then yeah

fringe scarab
#

u think so?

verbal blaze
#

yeah

#

trivially

#

uhm

#

fh =!= gh might be the strat actually

fringe scarab
#

gh != fh
fgh != gfh

verbal blaze
#

is that enough

fringe scarab
#

what about ffgh and ggfh

proper minnow
#

Ah there is also another statment I made

If f comes at the very last the constant term will be big

verbal blaze
#

which are MISERABLE

#

they cost me the class

proper minnow
fringe scarab
#

that's with the fuckass limits of integration right

verbal blaze
#

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

verbal blaze
verbal blaze
proper minnow
