4a
I got this answer but in the book the answer is 4x -5y = -17
I can't tell where I'm making the mistake
<@&286206848099549185>
why did you assume the line perpendicular passing through P was at the midpoint between them
@spiral crane
Oh, there was a similar worked example that used midpoint to determine the line
Originally, my answer was y= -5/4 +15
But I cut that off
Sorry for the trouble-
But yeah that didn't work out-
The perpendicular actually went through the point P
Not the midpoint of PQ
@spiral crane
Fix that and ig u r good to go!
you got the slope right
just use P as the point that lies on the line m because thats what the problem stated
@spiral crane
Hold on let me try and I'll let you know? It won't take long, and again I'm sorry for the trouble
Wait isn't that what I did initially or am I missing on something?
Just a min
its fine haha
Referring to this one
Didn't use midpoint
Just gradient and point p
the picture is not very clear, but if you used the gradiant and the point P, you should get the correct answer
send me a better picture of what you did if it still doesnt work

How do I convert 3.25 radians to degrees
I know that the formula is 180/pi
But this one doesn’t have pi
Like
If it was 3.25pi I would multiply it by pi/180
To convert successfully
180/pi you mean
You're right but I guess you are allowed to write it out till a few decimal places?
Yes
the angle does not have to have pi
that just makes it easier to do the calculation (since the pi cancels)
Yeah
Is it fine if pi doesn’t cancel out
yes
the number will just be irrational
,calc 3.25 * (180/pi)
Result:
186.21128341752

What ideas do you have?
To be honest I have no idea where to start
How would we get a linear factor out of a quadratic polynomial?
Not sure
Try factorising
(m-3)(m-3) over (m-4)(m-3)?
Yes
Then what?
You can cancel an (m-3) at the top and at the bottom
So (m-3) over (m-4)
So a is 3 and b is 4 right

So
Let say I havea basis B and basis C of the same vector space. f: V->V
Then I have a matrix rrepresantating mapping [f]B_K , means it takes transforms vectors from base B to K(canonical base).
If I do [f]B_K . [ID]C_B , will that equal to [f]C_K?
<@&286206848099549185>
@brittle beacon is there any help for remembiring from which side and what identity to multiply matrix with if i want my final matrix to chosen basis?
how do you mean? as in like in your example, if you wanted that to be in another basis instead of K?
so here i changed the upper inder "the input one"
what if i wanted to change the output one
for example from [f]B_C
If you wanna change the output one, multiply from the left by the appropriate transition matrix
So say if we were given $[f]_{K \to K}$ as the matrix of $f$ under the basis $K$ for $V$ (both in input and output)
@brittle beacon
yeh so output is multiplying from left, input from right
I guess it has some algebraic proof, why it works but i guess u dont know it off-head
do you?
Also, this works if its f: V->V right? what if its different spaces
It's mostly just writing stuff out component wise I think (which I'm pretty lazy to do), e.g. knowing that something like $x$ in the basis ${e_1, ..., e_n}$ (where $V$ is $n$-dimensional) can be written like $x = x_1 e_1 + \ldots + x_n e_n$ then working with that
@brittle beacon
And it's kind of similar but taking into account that the spaces may be different dimensions
i will send an example
I know its in diff language
but mainly u understand, the thing they ask is to count f((3,2,1)T)
@brittle beacon can u tell me how u would transform it
is that (3, 2, 1) in standard basis or?
yes
In that case, convert that to the B basis, multiplying it by the conversion matrix $\pmqty{2 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 & 1 \ 2 & 0 & 1 }^{-1}$
@brittle beacon
Then what you get from that, left multiply by [f]_C^B, then if you want the result in standard basis, after that, multiply by the transition matrix from C basis to standard
Yep 
is it equivalent to what u said
Yep, pretty much what I said!
how do you mean? As in evaluating that product?
(if so, then note that matrix multiplication is associative so you can evaluate the product however you wish)
hold on
@brittle beaconthats not defined
nvm it is
i just cant even insert the wrong matrix into matrixcalc.org
:)

@brittle beacon Also
[f]K2_K3 doesnt exist right
cuz inverse of non square matrix doesnt exist
It does, note that f doesn't need to be invertible itself, and is basically what you're finding
In fact, because the dimensions of the spaces differ, f is not invertible as is
Wait 
As in K2 being the "start" and K3 being the "final" space, you mean?
yes
(sorry getting mixed up with the $[f]_C^B$ notation lol)
u say its possible?
@brittle beacon
Well, having [f] from K3 to K2 is possible, and what we have (that's what I meant in my original post)
cuz there could be many of those
yea i know
but ([f]K3_K2)^-1 = [f]K2_K3
But [f] from K2 to K3 isn't - most notably too, because that would imply that you have a 2 element basis of a three dimensional space, and a three-element basis of a two dimensional space
yea, so that doesnt exist
Well more that it should be [f^{-1}] K2_K3, but then again f isn't invertible either
but we can get some mapping f K2_K3 given right?
for example f((x,y)) =
(x + 2y)
(x + y)
(2x)
Yea it's possible to have a linear map like that given to you, for which you can find a matrix for (though similarly it isn't properly invertible)

f: Z2_5 -> Z2_5 from B to K is
(1 1)
(2 3)
We want [f^{-1}] C_K , which equals [f] C_K.
So to do this we would do [f]B_K [id]C_B = [f] C_K ?
@brittle beacon
We want [f^{-1}] C_K , which equals [f] C_K.
does it?
But you can find [f^{-1}] from K to B by finding the inverse of that matrix in the appropriate space
Then of course, finding [id] from C to K, then [f^{-1}] from K to B, then [id] from B to C
[f^{-1}] C_K = ([f]K_C)^{-1}
and that equals to fK_C
right?
@brittle beacon[f]B_K [id]C_B = [f] C_K so this is correct?
I mean without me computing it, not necessarily, unless the matrix is its own inverse
This is correct yep 
No problem, a pleasure 
You can DM sure if you'd like, though I may be busy at times so reply slowly 
Will try to reply when I can of course!

Let P = (1,-3,4) and Q = (5,1,-2)
find the coordinates of the point which lies one third of the distance between P and Q
earlier in the book
section formula
sorry, didn't see the points
but i dont necessarily understand from where does Q-P come?
how does Q-P have same direction as PQ?
and then finally in the answer, they substitute 1/3 as t and solves for it. but i dont understand why.
so can someone please help with these 2 questions
i think one of the way to solve tia problem is: find coordinates of PQ vector. find the vector 1/3PQ. transform P parallel to the vector 1/3PQ and you will end up the point which is located from 1/3 from P to the direction of Q

Sorry this might be a bad question, but basically whenever I want to show a set is uncountable, all i need to show is that there is no surjection right?
surjection from where to where?
like if you have X and P(X) as sets, show a surjection from f:X -> P(X) doesnt exist
Whatever X is, there is no surjection from X to P(X)
If you want to show that X is uncountable, then you must show there is no surjection from N to X
P(X) doesn't matter
isnt this cantors diagonalization, to show that no surjection implies uncountability
Not sure what you mean
Cantor's diagonal argument is just a proof that there exist uncountable sets
And that R is such a set

Csn someone help
With 7sinx+3cosx=0
?
Idk if u csn do this
But 7sinx+3-1sinx=0
Im being idiotic
What are you trying to do?
Can someone help me please
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
Iam trying to solve 7sin x + 3cos x =0
For x
Idk what to do
Like do i put it into thr trig identity when tan =sin/cos
Hmm
It's hard to think of how to explain in a way that makes sense
Oh no
But there's something clever you can do just by moving things around
Fr fr
Yeah
Hmm
yeah you basically want to do this
do you know what arctan() is?
Like what arc tan means
Or the value
Of theta
Cos i dont have the value
Ik arc tan is reverse tan
If u mesn that
Can you turn the equation with two trig functions just into an equation with just tangent
move one of the functions over to the other side by subtracting it
Ah ok
Wait
Could i theoretically do
7sinx +3cos x
Then divide 7sin x
To get 3cos x =-7sin x
Theb divide by 3 cos x
To get tan x =7/3
Or do i not understand this properly
Thats incorrect
Idk then
Oh
Wtf
So
Wait
Can someone write out the steps to how i did it
Cos im co.fusing my self
Like i get tan =-3/7
Ur doing it right with the manipulations just make sure you manipulate correctly
Ok
Im still confused tho
So with trig functions
U divide to get them to thr other side
Then they become negative?
Is that correct

how do this
$^3\sqrt$
George
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
but how does it turn into x^3 sqrt x
i think thats x cuberoot x
since x^4 becomes x^(4/3)
= x^1 time x^(1/3)
i.e. x times cuberoot x
sorry im not following
George
not $x^3 \times \sqrt{x}$
George
so when we take cuberoot of x^4, we divide the exponent by 3 = x^(4/3) = x^(3/3) times x^(1/3)
= x times cuberoot x which is what is written
is that ok?

anyone got a clue on how i would go about disproving this
Intuitively you could choose some subset of B\A and show that that subset is infinite
ohh
that's smart
i forgot u could do that
btw
i dont understand why i need to show a bijection for this
are ther not only 2 roots of z^2 ?
would A not just have 2 elements...
A contains both square roots of each negative integer
z^2 = -n, but n can be any natural number
oh i thought when it said for some n it means a fixed n
No, but they could have made it more clear by just using a comma rather than "for some"
yea cz normally when u say for some u normally mean a fixed n in the natural numbers dont u?
Well, it's that each z is a square root of a particular -n
for example i is a root of z^2 = -1
and 2i is a root of z^2 = -4
So those number, i and 2i, are each a root of z^2 = -n for some n
icic
i thought it meant all the z such that the z is a solution to z^2 = -n for some particular n
I'd maybe interpret it that way if "for some n in N" was outside the set brackets
like, "This set A exists for some n in N"
but instead it's in the formulation of z
so it's like, "z has to satisfy this condition for some n in N"
ok i found the bijection
why cant they just say for n exists in N then 😭
the some completely threw me off 😭
yeah, I agree it would be a bit more clear with just a comma

am i doing this right?
4 isnt a prime
but if the set was {2,3,5} you'd be right (im assuming P means prime)
P is positive integer i thought
which one j curious
none
damnn
if P does mean positive integers, you're fine though
but you dont necessarily need to specify it's positive because you already implied that by saying x>1
just need that it's an integer after that point
oh
but isnt set builder notation structured like that?
universe | rule
theres multiple ways to go about it
sometimes you can have the universe be a larger set
and the restriction will make the set stay the same
like {x in Z | x>1 and x<6} also works
in?
$\epsilon$
znsn
same as element of
i did that tho
your thing certainly works
i just want to say that we could also set the universe as the integers as well
Z wouldnt work
why?
it includes negatives
yeah but your condition of x>1 excludes negatives
so it works?
yeah, theres often not just one way to build sets
just a nice fact to know
lemme try b
alr
oh
im not sure if your teacher taught u this yet but you can also specify that x is an element of Set on the right side of the |
for example {2x|x in P}
would mean all the even positive integers
so like
so you could put 10^x at the left of the | instead of the right
i have to go now so (b) ||{10^x|x in P and 1<=x<=4}
and (c) {x in P | x only has two divisors}||

a bird flies from its nest 3km in the direction of 60 degrees north of east where it stops to rest on a tree it then flies 18km in the direction due southeast and lands atop a telephone pole place an xy coordinate system so that the origin is the birds nest the x axis points east and the y axis points north
a) at what point is the tree located . B) at what point is the telephone pole located
i got 0 idea how to do this 🥲
just use trig, you are given the angles and hypotenuse lengths of triangles basically
my brain is off can ya gimme formula 🥲
you are in calc 3, you should be very familiar with soh cah toa, that's all it is

idk how to implement the 17^2 into the identity
yon want (a+b)^2 = 17^2
its equal to 17^2
$100+2ab+b^2=17^2$
Vѳrtєx-
Vѳrtєx-
yeah
$100+20b+b^2=17^2$
Vѳrtєx-
yep
I'm not sure you need to do something as long as this
oh yeah you said 7 and -27
this is good
but you're finding the numerical value of 2ab
yeah i did from the other side but thats what i got
you can also just notice $(a+b)^2=17^2$ so $a+b=17$ or $a+b=-17$
thats the better way
Vѳrtєx-
do 2 times a times b
technically it could be both
i think there should be two values
i looked at the answer key and it said 140 before coming here
and i was so confused
but if you want to use that identity to calculate 17^2 using -27 doesnt make sense
that's $2\cdot7\cdot10$
Vѳrtєx-
2ab
ohh so we would reject the -27
mathematically there is no reason to, but given the context, using -27 doesnt make sense
you want to simplify the calculation
but with b=-27 youd have to calculate 27^2 to calculate 17^2
making the problem harder
ok ok
the problem is basically saying "instead of calculating 17^2 you can calculate 10^2+2(10)(7)+7^2"
which would lowkey take longer but whatever, it could be useful in some other contexts
ok thank you guys
surely its quicker than calculating 27^2 thp

6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

so 6x^3-5x^2-17x+6
x-2?
or do i have to substitute x = 2 into the equation to make it 0
?
You can do that to first show that x-2 is a factor
And then use long division to find the other 2 factors
Wdym
Yes
Divide it to get a quadratic
And then you'd have to factorise the quadratic to find other two factors
yk for a how would i work it out
do i just write substiituite x = 2 into f(x)?
or substitute g(x) = 2 into f(x)
i think last one yea
You would just get 0 if you did that
thats showing its a factor tho right
so i write substitute g(x) = 2 into f(x) to find factor yea
for working out i just wrote substitute g(x)=2 into f(x) to find
yea
g(x) into f(x)
What did you get after that
i got 0
Yes
By substituting x=2 you'll only prove the first part
Which is that x-2 is a factor
But now divide the given polynomial by (x-2)
Using long division

so I'm looking at some class notes and I dont understand why she added pi to theta
$\tan(\theta)$ is periodic with a period of $\pi$, so $\tan(\theta+\pi) = \tan(\theta) = \tan(\theta + 2\pi) = \tan(\theta + k\pi)$ for any integer $k$

how is this not transitive?
i checked ab, bc, and cd but i think i am doing it wrong
oh, im supposed to check basically every group of 3 ?
i thought they had to be consecutive like abc
is the easiest way to do this, then, to just look for the Y's and check?
for transitivity, the property (x,y) ∈ R & (y,z) ∈ R => (x,z) ∈ R has to hold for every possible trio of x, y and z
and for explicitly given relations like this idt there is any easier way than brute force

I'm supposed to prove if a is a unit and b is a zero divisor then ab is a zero divisor (in Zn)
but I'm confused because I think I've proven it without using the fact that a is a unit at all
so I;m wondering if I have glossed over something and I was hoping someone would let me know
since b is a zero divisor, then there is a d such that b!=0 and d!=0 but bd=[0]
then a(bd)=a(0)=0=(ab)d
and thus, since d!=0 ab is a zero divisor
well, ab could be zero already
oh right I have to show ab!=0
okay I know that b!=0 already
a is a unit so there is some x where ax=[1]
if a is 0 then 0x=0 != [1]?
is that all
no
mod n doesnt have the zero divisor property
b is literally a zero divisor. bd=0 even tho b and d arent zero
yeah
the problem is that a could be another such number d
why's that a problem
oh if a congruent d mod n
no, not only then
when
zero divisors dont come in pairs
for example if n=12 and b=6, then d could be 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or 10
I see
Okay so here's what I know
there is some x such that ax=1 there is some d such that bd=0 (b not 0, d not 0)
I want to show there is a y, such that (ab)y=0
let's times axbd=0*1
ab(xd)=0
and you want to show that ab isnt zero already
but I need to show that ab not 0 and xd not 0
d is not 0, if x was 0 then ax couldn't be 1
so xd not 0
now I need to show ab isn't 0
a isn't 0
b isn't 0
but maybe still ab is..
intuitively speaking, if a is a unit, then we can divide by it
so from ab=0 we would get b=0
just like in the real numbers
multiplying by a^-1 is the same as "dividing" by a
thats what division is
just like subtraction is adding with (-a)
yes
one more thing though
just because
x not 0 and d not 0
how do we know that xd not 0
it could be the same thing
with ab
x is a unit again
but you dont actually need xd
your first attempt was fine
(ab)d=0
what
it still works, yes. imo its not as nice but thats subjective
kinda thought u were laughing here
tbh
XD
xd
and like you said, you would again have to show that xd isnt zero
if xd=0
axd=a0
1d=0
d=0
contradiction
Okay ty again Denascite

exercise: try showing that if a isnt a zero divisor in Z_n, then it is a unit
hint, consider the function f(x)=ax
(this works in every finite ring, not just Z_n)
lcose
if a is not a zero divisor in Zn
then there is no b not 0 such that ab=0
then
n does not divide ab
for all b
then a=1
try working just with ring properties
okay that's not really an attempt

oh wow austin wants to go to bed
XD
thats a new one
well its zero for x=0
what properties of functions could you check
well ok derivatives make no sense over general rings
how is that more formally known?
I mean the technical term for a function that passes the vertical line test
surely you know that term
I would just call this a function
perhaps it is
ah fuck
wait
sry I was thinking horizontal line test
give me 1 second
oh horizontal line test
that's not injective
if f(x1)=f(x2) then x1=x2
so if it passes then it is injective
i think
ok
I've never done the horizontal line test
is our function injective?
you have never checked whether a function is injective or surjective?
yeah I dont mean to graph here
graphing over Z_n would be weird anyway
well you dont know that yet
it does
you know that a is not a zero divisor
okay well if a is a unit then we're injective
you want to show that a is a unit
yes
can I be cheeky and say it's linear so it has to be?
no
hm
that doesnt work for example with 2x in Z_12
suppose f(x)=ax is not injective
then there exists y, z such that f(y)=f(z) but y!=z
then ay=az
but y!=z
yes
how could you rearrange that
ay-az=0
a(y-z)=0
a is a zero divisor
NO GOOD
I win
thus our function is injective
yes
damint
we showed that if a is a unit, then the function is injective
no longer having fun
you cant just use the other direction
That's pretty vague
yes
f(x1)=f(x2) => x1=x2
well
if it is a set
you can't have two elements that are the same
so f(x1) never equal f(x2) if it is injective
so if f:A->A and A has n elements, how many elements does the image need to have
haha
so what's your point about the image
it has the same amount of elements as our domain
being n
yes
and the image is also a subset of A. which again has n elements
so therefore the image ... ?
is A?
bijective
yes. in general, for a function f:A->A with A finite, its equivalent that: f is injective, f is surjective, f is bijective
so since 1 is in Zn ther e has tobe an element that makes ap=1
yes
so idk what ur other exercise is about
that is the definition
oh I see
mostly that injective and surjective arent equivalent
I thought you were asking me to prove that
if A is infinite
if f:A->A is injective and surjective but A is infinite then f isn't bijective
and I was like huh
maybe I am
No
you'd introduce rings faster than week3
otherwise
I might take back everything nice I ever said about you
for boring me so much
alright then I can conclude that u r definitely not my teacher
or maybe I lied
we didn't even do euclidean algorithm
not yet I assume. but you definitely need it to find inverses in Z_n
🤷♂️
But I was feeling pretty smart when we were doin euclids lemma and I was like yeah shes gonna do bezouts next
and then she did bezouts
and I was like yeah prime factorization is next
and then it was

This four-digit number is equal to the product of the sum of its digits multiplied by the square of the sum of the squares of its digits.
What is this mysterious number?
I've tried running all combinations in Python and found two solutions (2023 and 2400). However, my maths teacher gave it to me this morning and said there was a way to solve it analytically
