how do i make a help channel
how do I solve 50cos^2(x) = 25 + 16x^2
you just did
oh
making a help channel just means posting a message in it
and usually you're supposed to have your first message contain your question
(but DON'T delete your first now. if you do it'll autoclose)
anyway...
$50 \cos^2(x) = 25 + 16x^2$ ?
Ann
so what do I do now
Plug that in a calculator?
but how do I solve it on paper
Use netwon's method
i have no clue what that is
i asked wolframalpha and it just produced numbers, and the extremely unhelpful exact form of "the root of 16x^2 - 50cos^2(x) + 25 near [number]", so probably there isn't a reasonable way to find an exact solution
so basically what you would do is just try various numbers to find something really close to a solution
which... sounds really annoying to do on paper because how do you even compute cos^2(x) by hand
where did you get this problem from...?
interesting. I thought there would be some complicated way to solve it
was just doing a 3d vector question
then I eventually got this
should I just send the question ?
yes

oh i wish it linked the website
i think probably you got something wrong earlier in the question and the thing you're actually meant to be solving at this point is far more reasonable
yeah they meant the plane xy
but I thought they meant like the line x
part 3
i was initially trying to make the position vector to be at an angle 45 to the vector (0, 1, 0)

Try to write the denominator as a perfect square
Lol
It can be written like that, actually
Write 1 in terms of sin and cos
Yes
Do you remember the integration for secx? Just askin
I see
There are two approaches
One is longer
But if you don't remember the integration of sec x then the other method is as long too so idk
You can substitute u=x/2
And then use half angle formulae
$$sin{x} = \frac{ 2\tan^2 {x/2}}{1+ \tan^2 {x/2}}$$
$$cos{x} = \frac{1- tan^2 {x/2}}{1+ tan^2 {x/2}}$$
Lorentz
Or that, yes
In this case that would be easier
This, I mean
If you wanna find the integral of csc x, just multiply the numerator and denominator with cot x - csc x
I gtg now but you should get the ans if you follow that
Note that this is for csc x

Q: Is binary search the most efficient way (on average) to guess a number someone is thinking of between a specified range by just yes/no questions?
Context: Played this game with some 10-16 year olds today and on the first round they quickly discovered binary search after a couple questions like "is it odd". So then I banned questions like "is it bigger/less than x" on the next round and they resorted to asking about digits e.g. "does it contain a 3?".
I feel like it is the most efficient way but i wonder if there are any sneaky tricks you could deploy.
the optimal method is anything that cuts the space of possibilities in half each question
ah of course yes, so binary search is an optimal route. do there exist other lines of questioning that are optimal?
depends what sort of question is allowed
most obviously there's parity
"is it even?" "is it [number] mod 4?" "is it [number] mod 8?" etc.
ah thats nice
you can also just pick some arbitrary set
like if you know the number is from 1 to 10, you can ask "is it any of 3, 4, 6, 7, 8?"
thats also true, but i guess less feasible when we did 1 to 10000
or in a similar spirit you can just keep adding small corrections until you end up with exactly half
"is it a multiple of 3, or a prime number, or a square number, and not divisible by 37, ..."
this will not be accepted by the one being asked ig
they never really thought to ask questions with a bunch of OR clauses, it would be interesting to see whether they could ever arrive to something like that
I feel like you could do some very efficient stuff with Chinese remainder theorem. depends on whether you are allowed to ask questions like "what is the remainder when divided by n"
i think it's just yes/no questions
of course that would make the question trivial if you allow n to be too big
it was just yes/no yeah
so if you wanted to go a mod route this would be the way
i guess a follow up question would be: what kind of questions can you ask that would split a given range in two?
is it a square residue mod next prime
- less/bigger than [mid point]
- is it even etc
is this easy to see? i forget about residues
not really. and it also doesnt split the range into subintervals, so you couldnt iterate it
would be useful for an evil version of the game where you cant ask the same type of question twice
okay thanks for the insight gang

Let $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$, and $a>1, b>0$. CDF of random variable $X$ is $F(x)=0$ for $x \leq b$ a $F(x)=1-(b / x)^a$ for $x>b$. Find values of $a, b$. Find a density function and expected value of random varaible $X$. Solution: Density is $f(x)=0$ for $x \leq b$ and $f(x)=a b^a x^{-a-1}$ for $x>b, E(X)=a b /(a-1)$.
Michal
can someone explain me how to get the solution?
It says that find values of a and b, but the solution does not have it.
That's odd, I don't know what it means either. Do you have the original question?
yea, but its not in english
that's probably what's going on then, a translation error
CDf = cumulative distributive function
because it's clear the solution is wanting you to find the pdf from the CDF
i dont think so
exactly
that's what the solution is saying though
Do you know how they got $ab^a x^{-a-1}$?
BLONK
yea, differentiation
Ok then you seem good

this is basis of vector space W
how do i find some basis of $\mathbb{R}^{2 \times 2}$ which includes basis of W in itself?
Slowaq
so you want to extend this basis to one of R^(2×2), yes?
Yes
right
dim(R^2×2) = 4, so you need one more vector
i.e. one more matrix the addition of which wouldn't render this set LD
try finding one
Well that is the thing I don’t know I know that it is one of these (10/00)(01/00)(00/10)(00/01) but dunno how to determine which
@wooden python

Hey guys, anyone here who knows line integrals?
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/
Okay, I have this line integral, it is in a conservative vector field, hence, independent of path. Now I want to know if I can calculate the straight line from the first point to the last by setting x's bounds from -1 to 5, and substituting y = 1 into the given function. hence getting ∫(e^x+x+sinx) dx + 0 since dy is 0
Oh you're taking a test?
Nah, just practicing with last year's exam
Are you doing a or b
b, already did a and found that it is a conservative vector field
@rare marten Has your question been resolved?
Just use the theorem
And do
Example 16.3.10 : Using the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals
That takes kinda long, and I think I am on the right track, just need someone to confirm what I'm thinking is correct. We have done similiar stuff in that way during the lectures.
you can integrate along any path that takes you from the same start point to the same end point if it is conservative

Hi, apparently I made a mistake somewhere in here but the thing is idk where. The correct answer for y domain should be (0, e) and I have (0, e^2) 🤔🤔🤔
Hi @white olive are you trying to find the derivative of $y=\textrm{e}^{\frac{2}{\pi}\arccot(\sqrt{x})}$?
Yes
ok I see you are using log differentition, nice
The domain of the derivative?
Yes
Ok well we need to find the derivative first 🙂
Oh it’s not found yet?
arctg?
Btw that’s the answer
But our book is so stupid it doesn’t have explanations
Ah, I see youre trying t find the inverse of the original function
I apologize. I understand now
We know that arccot is defined for all values of x, so what is the domain for $\sqrt{x}$?
x >= 0?
Right. And if you know that arccot will be decreasing, then the maximum $\arccot(\sqrt{x})$ can be is when $x=0$
Huh I don’t understand this
So the biggest the range of the original function can be is $\textrm{e}^{\frac{2}{\pi}\arccot(0)} = \textrm{e}^{\frac{2}{\pi}\frac{\pi}{2}} = \textrm{e}$
Im trying to argue that the range of f is $(0,\textrm{e}]$. If you know this is the range of the original, then this whould be the domain of the inverted function
Is it bus x can’t be lower than 0?
bcs*
yes so this restricts the domain of the original f
What if we had different x domain
I'm not sure I understand what you are asking
Well nvm but (0, e) according to my book is incorrect as it should be (1, e)
Ah I see where I messed up. As $\arccot \sqrt{x}$ gets large, it will tend toward 0. This means that $e^{\frac{2}{\pi}\arccot\sqrt{x}}$ will tend toward $e^{0}$ as a lower bound, giving $(1,e]$.
This is a really tough question unless you know what arccot looks like :3
Yea
Is it possible to do this in another way?
Bcs I can’t use graphs during the exam
we could try to analyze cot^2 but that might be harder 🙂
Are u able to do this?
Gimme a second to think about how to explain this one
Okay np and thx
Since cot^2 is defined for all x values except multiples of pi, I get this as the domain of the inverse function
Anywa, that seems way off from the book. So my guess is that you will need to analyze the original function to get the information you need. Just looking at the inverse function will not be helpful
Okay and thanks for your time

What is the question?
Manipulate it to look like a standard geometric series
?
Make it look like (something)^n
Use power rules
What
Manipulate the expression in this sum to look like (something)^n, since that's what geometric series look like
Use power rules
Not at hand no
You can theoretically use any of them, whether that's going to get you closer to (something)^n is something you need to experiment with to find out
Experiment and find out
Just literally try something, anything, with the goal of making things look like (something)^n
If something you do looks like it doesn't work then try something else

does the center of a group only contain the identity element ?
not necessarily
i mean it always must have it
but it can be more than just the identity
if identity is the only element of the center, then the group is called centerless
do you have an example ? because I don't see how it's possible
well for an abelian group $Z(G)=G$
artemetra
for a D_2n the center is not trivial
sorry I don't know already this notation I'm a very beginner in this, I tried an exercise which say to prove that a subroup is the center of a group but when I saw that I thought it can only have the identity element
"subgroup is center of a group" or "center is a subgroup of a group"?
ohh okay I see I think
the first one is not true in general
ye but in the exercise it was a particular group
like in (Z, *) for example 1 and 0 commute but 0 is not the identity element
* is multiplication?
yes
is this a finite group or an infinite group
? I don't know why
$(\bZ, *)$ is not a group
artemetra
no multiplicative inverses
oh yes maybe$ (R*, *)$
maybe?

@brittle beacon genuine thank you for the reactions lol i am practicing my group theory skills
i see
-1
oh yes, sorry
yes i think
?
(Was wondering which group was being referred to
was about to say!)
Another example: group of 2x2 matrices under multiplication. Centre contains scalar multiples of the identity
yes but the center is not the whole group
and if everything commutes with everything then the center is the whole group
why not? :^)
any more questions
nope maybe later, thanks a lot 🙂

how am I supposed to know the laplace transform of sin(t-pi)?
in my laplace table, I have the laplace of sint and of a normal unit step function, but not of a trig unit step function. so what the heck am I supposed to do
u_a(t) f(t-a), that's exactly what you have here
@mystic goblet
f = the sin function, a = pi in your case
okay but f(t-a) becomes F(s) according to the table right?\
so we have the laplace transform of sin(t-pi)
which I dont see

can someone help me with this
i know the 2 and 3 are true identies but im quite confused in 1 and 4
u can use cos (a+b) formula
i dont know how to use it
do you know the formula?
nope my teacher didnt even discussed this but we are required to answer this
So π/2+ θ angle lies in 2nd quadrant
oh ok
These formulas are not necessarily needed
For example you can substitute t = pi/4 and try to find if all the formulas hold
is no.1 the imposter here?
It is
yeah finally i solved it
That's the easiest way too~
how about this
What if you substitute u = 0 in each of them to see if all of them hold, at least for u = 0?
im honestly confused wait
Replace all u you see by 0, and see if the equations are true or not
You know that sin(0) = 0
cos(0) = 1
tan(0) = 0
It should be 🙂

Degree form is 615 so I added those 2
Cus they’re in the unit circle
If you're trying to reduce the angle so that it sits between 0 and 2pi (or between 0° and 360°), you subtract 2pi or 360°, not 300°.
You want to "unwind" the angle a full turn.
Wdym
Oh I was doing cosacosb-sinasinb
So I used the 300 and 315 cus it added up to 615
Was that wrong?
I mean if you really want to use the sum formula, at least make sure your decomposition has at least one angle you know the value of. 315 and 300 are not "easier" to deal with.
I'd make one be 360, and the other be 615-360
Also, are you sure that is what they mean by addition/subtraction?
Not sure
It seems rather unnecessary
So what was the easy way
255 isn’t in the unit circle tho
So I was suppose to just do 615-360 and that’s my answer?
I mean you can probably do it your way tbh
But I got 0 and it said it was wrong
I don't think you should be getting 0 even if you go at it your way with 300 and 315
Oh ur right I got it now idk how I got 0 last time
Ok it was cus I input the wrong fractions

for an exercise like this we can always say that whatever is inside the brackets is equal to 0?
@mystic goblet Has your question been resolved?
Your phrasing is confusing
Can you write out what you mean exactly with equations
shouldn’t have taken that outside the summation 
But you can determine that when n>=1, the coefficient of x^n would be zero sure
okay clear
I didnt say equations but I assume you mean exercise?
anyhow i think I understand it. What I dont understand is:
I mean if everything i wrote it correct than i have no further questions on this exercise
[as in, did you mean “is [the stuff in the picture] = 0?”]
yeah and you answered that everything with the power of x^n=0
ok great thanks

Can someone explain why the interval is only (-1,2)??
Why the infinities not included
what happens when x<-1?
when you plug it into (x+1)(x-2)
what happens when x>2?
(you want (x+1)(x-2)<0 )
Not sure
It says 0 is biggest so why -inf not included
ok, think more this more visually
this is an upward facing parabola yes?
and it has two zeros, -1, and 2
Yea
so it'll look like, this, yes?
now, we can interpret (x+1)(x-2)<0 as, 'when is this parabola below the x-axis', if it were (x+1)(x-2)>0, it would be 'when is this parabola ABOVE the x-axis'
@oblique rapids Has your question been resolved?
I don’t get it
x^2-x-2 is the y-value output of this parabola
we want x^2-x-2<0, y-value below zero, below x-axis

That’s 5.05 not 50.5
do you know what it means for two shapes to be similar?
usually it's in the context of triangles (ie "similar triangles" is a term you've hopefully seen before) but it applies to other shapes easily enough
so how would i solve that

I need help with this question below, please describe it step by step if possible.
Boys length can be descried with the simple model f (x) = 78 ⋅ e^0,07x where f(x) is the length in centimeters and x is the boys age in years.
A) Decide at which age boys are 125 cm long according to the model.
B) Use the model and decide how fast boys grow when they are exactly 6 years old.
C) Is the model also compatible with boys that are 18 years old?
anyone that knows how to solve it?
Yes, what's your main point of confusion?
f(x) tells you the height of boys. so in A it's figuring out what age f(x) = 125. Do you know how to solve f(x) = 125?
are you allowed to use a calculator?
yes
125 = 78*e^(0.07x). Do you know how to solve for x?
ok
so you would get
125/78 = e^(0.07x)
and then next is more advanced. you have to take the natural logarithm of both sides
so it's 1,60 = e^0.07x ?
Yes

How do I get this into triangular form, I don't think I can combine any equations?
row echeclon form
xyz doesn’t need to be included
But that’s right otherwise
What have you tried? Why are you stuck?
What have you tried to make it into that form
Yes there are
Divide row 1 by 4 to begin
so x -1/4y +1/4z =7/4
so from here, I don't think there is equations to combine, I don't think I can combine r1 and r3 since r3 don't have y

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to use the Conservation of Energy Equation, Ekinitial +Eginitial = Ekfinal + Egfinal, and the equations that make it up to solve a problem. The values of the answers are provided, the question is to find out how to manipulate the equation to find the answer. I can figure out the Potential energy easily enough with m(g)(h); The problem is when I try to figure out the Kinetic energy or the speed when I don't know either.
Help needed urgently, please!
It's definitely unfortunate that you don't know the launch angle
It affects the velocity, right?
Well, horizontal velocity should stay constant throughout the entire movement
It would be helpful to know the horizontal velocity because it would be the only velocity at the height of the launch, so then you could figure out the total energy in the system
oh wait
You're going to want to figure out the total energy in the system from the amount of kinetic and potential energy at launch, and use that total to determine the individual energies at later points
@loud haven
You know the equation for kinetic energy right?
1/2 (m)(v)^2, right?
Yup. So once you know the kinetic and potential energies at launch, you will be able to use the total energy in the system and the easily determined potential energy at each point to determine the kinetic energy at each point. Then you should be able to work from there to solve the rest
You can pretend you dropped it from rest at 12m height and see what the velocity would be when it's 2m from the ground to see what the vertical velocity was at the start.
The starting velocity will be the same, but in the upward direction.
From that, you can determine the angle or horizontal velocity or whatever.
Yeah I figured out you don't actually need that
Oh, OK.
It's been a while since I've taken a physics course, forgot you're supposed to use total energy in the system to solve a lot of problems
So sub in the total energy from the first part into the second part, then manipulate the equation to single out the velocity, then move on to solve for the Kinetic energy of the second part?
If that doesn't make sense I'll try to type it
no, you manipulate to solve for kinetic energy
In this system, the total energy at a point = kinetic energy + potential energy
and the total has to be the same at each point
So how would I figure out the Kinetic energy if I don't have the velocity?
Oh wait hold on
So take the total energy and subtract the Potential energy that I've already solved for
you have the initial velocity
yes
but first, you have to use the first point to find the total energy
since you know the velocity at the first point, you can solve for both kinetic and potential there

what's the proper way of writing set to express the domain of f(g(x))
would something like this be syntaxically correct?
this does not look right and is also syntactically off
for the syntax, just write = if you want to say two things are equal (not :)
and when you intersect two sets A and B
their intersection is just A intersect B
not {A intersect B}
is $I_{f(x)}$ supposed to be the image of $f$? what relevance does that have to the domain of $f\circ g$?
chmonkey #1 simp
no
well
yes
lol
it's better
the domain of f o g is just the domain of g
there are conditions under which f o g makes sense for given function f and g
and under those conditions, the domain of f o g you'll find could be nothing but the domain g
but don't u also have to make sure that every image that the g(x) comes up with can be plugged into f(x)?
that's built in to f o g making sense as a function to begin with
oh
it's just like a rule you have to follow
like here would i just not be able to write f(g)?
i probably wouldn't describe it as a "rule to follow" but ok sure
here, it's nonsensical to try to compose them in the first place
for f o g to "make sense", we need that the image of g is a subset of the domain of f
it's just defined like that okidoki
yes

idk how they got it that way.
do you know the chain rule?

ok, so what did you get?
i’ll write what i did
hold on
wait so
with chain rule i got 7(5x^5+1)^6 • 25x^4
and then i got 175x^4(5x^5+1)^6
and when i did deriv again. i like brought the six down and multiplied by 175 and got a bigger number than what the answer shows
keep the 175 out front and move other numbers to later terms
what did you get for the second derivative?
ngl i stopped there bc i got stuck

hi
why is it d divided by
not d multiplied by
the book shows a weird method of doing it as well
Edexcel
y^2 was being divided by d so we multiply both sides by d, not divide
am I wrong
this step is wrong
Because it doesn't follow the correct rules, you need to explain why you did that
Because we are trying to isolate Y
yes, so multiply both sides by y^2
then you get what
d is on top you cant just multiply it out
yes
you can do whatever you want
you could multiply both sides by d, it just won't help
so we need to isolate y by multiplying it into the other side and then moving the other items to the other side
the optimal thing here is to multiply both sides by y^2, then 1/(a-c)
yeah you can multiply it by d it just doesn’t make the equation cleaner
but then it would be d^2 right
yeah which just adds a bunch of problems

{summation from 0 to 4} (10)^(4 - k) a{4 - k} (mod 9)
= {summation from 0 to 4} a{4 - k} (mod 9)

\textbf{Question:} If $A$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ and $B$ is any subgroup of $G$, prove that $AB$ is a subgroup of $G$.
\vs{3 mm}
\textbf{My solution:} Let $a_1b_1$ and $a_2b_2$ be two elements in $AB$, where $a_i \in A$ and $b_i \in B$. Then:
\env{align*}{
a_1b_1\p{a_2b_2}^{-1} &= a_1 b_1 b_2^{-1}a_2^{-1} \
&=a_1b_1b_2^{-1}a_2^{-1}\p{b_2 b_1^{-1}}\p{b_1b_2^{-1}} \
&=a_1b_1b_2^{-1}a_2^{-1}\p{b_1 b_2^{-1}}^{-1}\p{b_1b_2^{-1}}
}
Then we can say that [

]
Because [

Is the signature reduced to the identity or not ?
Is that meant to be a question directed at me or clarification for the question?
A hint
Looks like 2 cases to me, if you see what I mean
i havent studied the alternating group just yet to be fair so idk if i can do this question
You don't need it
oh you dont?
You don't
Though ofc the understanding related to the overall study of the signature, and by extension the alternating group, may help figure out the solution here.
But you don't need it
This is very strongly inspired from the proof of |An| = n!/2 though
i think i kinda see what u mean but i will study a bit first and get back to this maybe

The idea, for the nontrivial case, is to ||exhibit the right bijection||
all you need to know is that group elements are all invertible and that odd + blah changes parity

Is there an A ⊆ N with the property: (a) A is finite, Ac is infinite? (b) Ac is infinite, Ac is it finite? (c) A and Ac are both infinite? (d) A and Ac are both finite?
What do you mean by "is it finished"?
Whoops typo
Is N the natural numbers or just an arbitrary set?
Natural numbers
You should, though you might not need to in your exercise
(find examples or argue why not)
OK, so let's look at a.
What is a finite subset of the naturals?
Like an example.
<@&268886789983436800>
(1,2,3) is a finite subset of N
OK, is its complement finite?
Well I assume since its a closed subset
No sorry
I didn't actually need help with this
I just wanted to know do I need to prove it
Oh, OK.
You said the complement of {1, 2, 3} was finite, right?
You should prove that one, by showing that the complement is finite.
The complement is the natural numbers with 1, 2, and 3 taken out.
How many natural numbers are left over?
Like you have 4, 5, 6, 7, etc.
Right, A is {1, 2, 3}. The complement is all naturals not in A, so {4, 5, 6, ...}.
Yea it's infinite
But I know that the point was it's easy to be seen without proof
Oh, OK.
However since you're being so nice
I do have a question
The equivalence relation on the set S determines the partition of the set S (on the equivalence class). vice versa, each partition F = {Si | i ∈ I} of the set S determines the relation ∼ in the following way: x ∼ y ⇔ (∃i ∈ I)(x, y ∈ Si). Prove that the relation ∼ defined in this way is an equivalence relation whose equivalence classes are sets Si , i ∈ I
I don't even know how to start this
Also this is Google translate cuz I'm too lazy to translate that huge chunk myself but I think the translation is good
I just need a push I don't know how to start
OK, so you need the definition of equivalence relation.
It needs to be symmetric, reflexive, and transitive.
Yea that I know
So, you'd prove symmetric by starting out "x ~ y <=> exists i in I such that x, y in Si". So, if it only checks whether both are in Si, then y~x is also in Si, since x and y are both in Si.
And so forth with the other two.
Now you lost me
Well, there exists an i such that both are in Si.
So, if both x and y are in Si, then both y and x are in Si.
So, x ~ y <=> y ~ x.
Does that make sense?
Sure it does I think I don't understand how this relation is defined
What's Si and i, I mean obviously sets
But what kind of sets
i is just an index (the Ss are numbered and i is the number).
It says S is partitioned into S1, S2, etc.
Which means that each of the elements go into exactly one Si.
Ohhh I see yea I'll have to redo relations I've been struggling with that
Partitioning S just means you get some subsets of S and each element in S goes in exactly one of those subsets.
So how would you check symmetry in proper notation
x ~ y => exists i in I such that x, y in Si => exists i in I such that y, x in Si => y ~ x
Something like that.
You can also get more in detail.
x ~ y => exists i in I such that x in Si and y in Si => exists i in I such that y in Si and x in Si => y ~ x
Since and is commutative.
Does that proof make sense? I can explain it more.
Yea it does tyvm
No problem.
I'll skip that for now and do induction
Oh, it looks like partitions need to have nonempty subsets.

When converting this question vertex form
I’m getting 3/4 positive
But some people from class are saying it’s negative -3/4
I’ll send my answer
Idk what’s wrong
My answer is correct?
,w 2x^2 - 3x + 21 simplify
ur answer is correct
Let’s goo
See the second result
What’s “it” referring to, for clarity?
Well, b is being subtracted from x.
You have x - 3/4, so b = 3/4 since 3/4 is being subtracted from x.
Nope, otherwise you'd get a positive coefficient for x. But it's negative, -3.
No.
See how b is being subtracted from x?
See how 3/4 is being subtracted from x in your shown work?
b = 3/4.
So I’ll have to write it without sign
Yes, it's positive 3/4.
If it was a(x + b)^2 + c, it would be -3/4, because b would be whatever's being added to x, which would be -3/4.
But it's a(x - b)^2 + c.
So, here, b is whatever's being subtracted from x.
You can use \qty(stuff\).
That'll autoresize the parentheses.

\[2\qty(x^2 - \frac32 x + \frac{21}2)\]
Thanks, I didn't know of that. From what package is that? Amsmath?
I think so. Let me check.
Sorry, I'm not sure.
