if x > 0 why does (-x)^(2/3) always return an imaginary term

lethal granite
#

?

fleet lake
#

When ull have a discussion ping me I'll have my all to know it

signal yacht
#

??

lethal granite
#

you mean (-x)^3/2 ?

tall ivy
#

Wait should it, I can't see why?

tall ivy
somber remnant
#

like, isnt it smth like:
((-x)^2)^(1/3) --> (+)^(1/3) ---> +
((-x)^(1/3))^2 --> (-)^2 ---> +

fleet lake
tall ivy
somber remnant
#

like wont it just always return a positive number no matter what thing u do first ( whether u do 1/3 first or 2)

signal yacht
#

you can always test yk

#

,wolf (-4)^\frac23

fleet lake
#

It is a square root
In which it shouldnt be -ve

somber remnant
signal yacht
#

AH

#

ok

#

im dumb

somber remnant
#

ye i did ask wolfam alpha but it returns with i

lethal granite
fleet lake
tall ivy
#

I mean logically if we solve it, it's just cube root of 81, why should that be imaginary, is wolfram glitching or something

signal yacht
#

no it is

fleet lake
#

Like -x has cube roots and we ll square it and get real no.

tall ivy
#

Or square of the cube root of -9, it's just gonna be a positive real number

fleet lake
signal yacht
fleet lake
#

Also 81 doesn't have cube roots

signal yacht
#

this makes sense 👍🏼

fleet lake
#

Rational ones

signal yacht
#

we have $x=(-8)^\frac23$, and it does have 3 roots

clever fjordBOT
#

Περσυ

signal yacht
#

2 of which are complex

tall ivy
#

Ahhhhh, like the roots of unity

signal yacht
#

..idk what that has to do with that

somber remnant
#

ummm so basically there IS a real root and complex root right?

signal yacht
#

yes

lethal granite
#

yes

somber remnant
#

oh alr

signal yacht
signal yacht
#

we shall ignore that

somber remnant
#

im wondering why my calculator returns imaginary number and when checked with wolfam it does the same thing

#

btw unrelated but

lethal granite
lethal granite
#

im having an internet issue , messages looks like they are sending in late mb

somber remnant
#

if we have $(x^2)^(1/2)$ do we do x^2 first then ^ (1/2) or we do x^(1/2) first then ^ 2

$\sqrt{x^2}$ is $|x|$, actually

somber remnant
#

if x is negative and we do ^ 2 first we will get a positive interger but if we do 1/2 first then we will get negative integer no?

How do I find the area of the shaded region without counting in the non shaded region??
The answer I got for the whole area of the sector of circle is 523.8cm² well, I'm not sure if that's correct tho

odd edgeBOT
#

Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.

tall ivy
#

Alright, so basically, you know how to find area of circle through ratio of angle?

urban stone
#

Yes

urban stone
#

wait ain't they the same thing

#

Uh

tall ivy
#

Area of a sector

urban stone
#

Yeahh I know the formula

#

But I just don't know how to find the area of the white part because I'm thinking you have to minus it to get the area of the shaded region??

tall ivy
#

Alright, so area of entire sector minus area of smaller sector

tall ivy
#

The angle is same, and you know the radius, so you can find the area

#

Basically what you're doing is, finding area of the entire sector of radius 30 cm, and then removing the part with radius 12 cm, the area of what's left is the shaded region

#

The angle is same in both cases so that shouldn't be an issue

urban stone
#

Wait so does the red part that I coloured here not affect the area of the white part??

#

Cos before I coloured it red it was shaded

nimble blaze
#

that's just there to indicate the 150° angle

tall ivy
#

I mean they've given no information regarding this, I believe it's just a printing error

urban stone
#

Oh I see 😭😭😭

umbral epoch
#

what would i do for b?

odd edgeBOT
umbral epoch
#

i think i did a correctly

pallid epoch
umbral epoch
#

yeah i got those

#

n1= <1,1,-1>

#

and

manic lava
nocturne brook
#

have you tried finding all points where the planes intersect?

umbral epoch
#

n2=<2,-1,3>

pallid epoch
#

The normal vector is perpendicular to all vectors in the plane, right?

umbral epoch
#

yes

umbral epoch
pallid epoch
#

And that applies to both planes, right?

umbral epoch
#

yeah

pallid epoch
#

Okay so we want a vector that is perpendicular to both normal vectors

#

Any ideas how to do that?

umbral epoch
#

oh cross product?

#

of n1 and n2

#

?

pallid epoch
#

Yup

#

That's the direction vector of the line of intersection

#

Then we just need any point on the line

nocturne brook
#

sorry I think this is different from what's currently happening, but if you assume a point $(x,y,z)$ lies in both planes, then the point simultaneously satisfies the two equations, [\left{\begin{array}{rcl}x+y-z&=&2\2x-y+3z&=&1\end{array}\right}]

clever fjordBOT
umbral epoch
#

okay i got 2i-5j-3k

pallid epoch
umbral epoch
umbral epoch
nocturne brook
#

try greenie's approach first, I don't think this one is the same

umbral epoch
#

okay

#

how do i know what points lie on the line

#

oh wait

pallid epoch
#

Okay so unless the line is parallel to the x-axis, it will pass through all possible x values

#

Happy with that?

umbral epoch
#

wghat

#

set y and z = 0?

pallid epoch
#

No

pallid epoch
umbral epoch
#

i suppose

pallid epoch
#

In that case, our line is guaranteed to pass through a point where x = 0

#

So we can set x = 0

umbral epoch
#

okay

pallid epoch
#

Now we have 2 simultaneous equations in 2 unknowns

#

And you can solve for y and z

umbral epoch
#

which 2 equations?

pallid epoch
#

Okay

#

So the line of intersection lies in both planes, right?

umbral epoch
#

yes

pallid epoch
#

So any point on the line satisfies both planes

umbral epoch
#

yes

pallid epoch
#

So the 2 equations are the equations of your planes

#

We know from the direction vector of the line that it is not parallel to the x-axis

umbral epoch
#

the x+y-z=2 and 2x-y+3z=1?

pallid epoch
#

Yes

umbral epoch
#

okay

pallid epoch
#

Does it make sense why I'm doing this?

umbral epoch
#

yes, to find y and z?

pallid epoch
#

I mean overall

#

Are you following the method so far?

umbral epoch
#

i think so yes

pallid epoch
#

Okay

#

So we can set x = 0 and solve for y and z

umbral epoch
#

so we know in the intersection point that it will be (0,y,z)

#

i got z= 2/3

#

wait

pallid epoch
#

There is a full line of intersection points

umbral epoch
#

3/2

pallid epoch
#

An infinite number of options

umbral epoch
#

yes

#

okay

pallid epoch
#

We only need to know one of those points

umbral epoch
#

yeah

#

the one where x=0

pallid epoch
#

And we know one of those has x = 0

umbral epoch
#

right

pallid epoch
#

Well that's just to make our life easier

#

We could have chosen any x value

umbral epoch
#

i see

#

okay

pallid epoch
#

Also, since the line is not parallel to the y or z axis, we could also set y = 0 or z = 0

#

(not all at the same time)

#

I just chose x = 0 to make our life easier, and x because it's the first variable

#

But you can choose any variable and any value if you want to

umbral epoch
#

how would we know if it is parallel to the axis

#

if the component is =0 from the cross product?

pallid epoch
#

The direction vector

#

Okay sorry

#

I've been saying parallel for a while

#

I meant perpendicular

#

Let's just go over that one more time to fix the issue

umbral epoch
#

lol its okay

#

okay

pallid epoch
#

So imagine a line that is parallel to the x-axis

#

It's like an alternative x-axis

umbral epoch
#

yes

pallid epoch
#

So it takes all possible x-values

#

A line that is perpendicular to the x-axis only has 1 x-value

#

So as long as the line is not perpendicular to the x-axis, it takes all possible x-values

umbral epoch
#

yea

pallid epoch
#

If the direction vector of the line has a value of 0 for one of the components, that means the line doesn't change in that direction

#

Which means it's perpendicular to that axis

#

So [0, 2, 3] is perpendicular to the x-axis

final vigil
#

math

pallid epoch
#

[2, 0, 3] is perpendicular to the y-axis

umbral epoch
#

i thought that if the cross product is 0 then it's parallel

pallid epoch
#

Sure, but that's just a different thing

#

We don't need that here

umbral epoch
#

okay

pallid epoch
#

The dot product one is relevant I suppose

#

So if the dot product is 0, then they're perpendicular, right?

umbral epoch
#

so if n has a component =0, then it's parallel to its respective axis

pallid epoch
#

n?

umbral epoch
#

n is the normal vector

#

direction vector

pallid epoch
#

The normal vector of a plane and the direction vector of a line are different things

umbral epoch
#

how

#

then why did i do the cross product

pallid epoch
#

Okay so a plane has a normal vector

#

Which is perpendicular to the plane

#

Right?

umbral epoch
#

yes

pallid epoch
#

The normal vector points away from the plane

umbral epoch
#

okay i see

pallid epoch
#

The direction vector of a line points along the line

#

Does that make sense?

#

Is that okay now?

umbral epoch
#

hang on

#

i think so

#

ohh okay yes

#

v is the normal vector in the top picture?

pallid epoch
umbral epoch
#

there was just a picture w v

#

okay anyway yes it makes sense

pallid epoch
#

That was the vector equation of a line

#

Lines don't have normal vectors

#

Planes have normal vectors

#

Lines have direction vectors

umbral epoch
#

okay i understand

pallid epoch
umbral epoch
#

no

pallid epoch
#

Are you sure?

umbral epoch
#

yes

pallid epoch
#

Okay

#

Did you manage to find a point on the line?

umbral epoch
#

yes

#

0, 7/2, 3/2

pallid epoch
#

Okay so now we have a point on the line

#

Do you know how to find the vector equation of the line now?

#

@umbral epoch

umbral epoch
#

sorry yes

pallid epoch
#

What equation did you get?

umbral epoch
#

well it wants parametization

#

so i got

#

x=2t, y=7/2 -5t, z=3/2 -3t

pallid epoch
#

Looks good 👍

umbral epoch
#

hooray

#

thank you

pallid epoch
#

If it wanted the vector equation of the line, it would be:

r = [0, 7/2, 3/2] + t [2, -5, -3]

#

And it should be fairly obvious how to switch between the vector equation and the parametric equation

#

Which you've done already

umbral epoch
#

okay i see, it seems easy enough

#

thank you again

#

:)

signal bison
#

Hi, I just want to check if i did it right

f: A -> B, A = {1,2,...,m}, B={1,2,...,n}

I need to find how many functions f are monotonous increasing

I asked for help earlier with a similar problem and I got adviced to try to change it to something I understand, so I made this:

Being B = {amount of adopted dogs}
and A = {days}

Then we have n dogs and m days.

The day m, n dogs get adopted
The day m-1, n-1 dogs get adopted
and so on until day 0 where 0 dogs get adopted

so the answer would be n! * m!

I asked this to someone on this server but i had to leave for a few minutes so i ask it again. He told me this wasn't alright but i had to leave before he could explain further. I would appreaciate if someone could explain it to me. Thank you

tame mesa
odd edgeBOT
tame mesa
#

isn't this wrong, because it is not mentioned that we are not allowed to overlap the parabolas

wooden python
#

do you think you can manage it with overlaps allowed

tame mesa
#

feels like we can do it

wooden python
#

try it

tame mesa
#

ok maybe not

#

but still don't know how to approach the proof

night grotto
#

you now know why it doesn't work

tame mesa
#

um I don't

night grotto
tame mesa
#

seems related to the convex nature of parabola maybe

night grotto
#

instead of looking at what can be covered, you find what cannot be covered

#

then there you go

#

so is there at least one way to show that there are parts not covered?

tame mesa
#

lemme try

dapper canyon
cerulean vortex
#

what if you like, let r be the radius of a circle containing all the vertices of the parabolas
and then bound the intersection of a parabola with a circle of radius R

tame mesa
night grotto
night grotto
#

by isoperimetric theorem

#

but there still remains uncovered areas

tame mesa
#

wait I just got an idea when two parabolas intersect, we gotta draw one more parabola with its axis as the common chord to cover the left over area, so we would constantly have an increasing number of intersection hence infinite parabolas

#

is this right?

tame mesa
night grotto
night grotto
tame mesa
#

maybe I should mention that this is a question from a college entrance exam so I think we are supposed to high school knowledge

night grotto
night grotto
tame mesa
dapper canyon
# cerulean vortex

maybe think about what does the area of the intersection grow like with r

cerulean vortex
#

you can make R big enough

#

or, at least i hope you can, that's my idea

dapper canyon
#

or u could try an algebraic approach

cerulean vortex
#

this picture alone isn't a proof

#

need to bound the black arc based on the radii of the two circles

tame mesa
#

what do the purple and black circle represent here

cerulean vortex
#

the purple circle is any circle containing the vertices of every parabola

tame mesa
#

and the black circle is any circle containing the poi's of all parabolas?

cerulean vortex
#

the black circle is a circle which you can enlarge until it's too big for the parabolas to completely cover its circumference

tame mesa
#

ah so the parabolas can just barely cover the black circle?

#

but how does that prove that we require infinite parabolas?

cerulean vortex
#

it's a proof by contradiction, i suppose

#

the parabolas supposedly cover R^2 but there's a big enough black circle, where the parabolas can't cover its circumference

#

well, no, maybe it is a direct proof

#

for any finite collection of parabolas, we construct the black circle and demonstrate there are points on its circumference which are not covered, thus the parabolas do not cover R^2

tame mesa
#

yea so we just have to show that we can make such a circle

cerulean vortex
#

yeah

tame mesa
#

ok lemme try

cerulean vortex
#

hint:
|| make an inequality ||
|| if A is the black arc, you need A < f(R,r) ||

tame mesa
#

ok since the parabolas are finite, there are finitely many poi's, and if we make a circle that contains all those poi's then we would have some parts of the circle not contained in the parabolas

#

is this right?

cerulean vortex
#

it sounds like you're taking a different approach

#

since the parabolas are finite, there are finitely many poi's
this is not correct

#

wait

#

are you just talking about their points of intersection?

tame mesa
#

yes

cerulean vortex
#

yeah there should be finitely many points of intersection

#

not sure where to go from there, though

#

the next step you took seems hand-wavey

#

maybe there's a way to justify it

tame mesa
#

ok I can't really go ahead from my approach I'll see your hint

cerulean vortex
#

k

#

what you said seems right though...

tame mesa
tame mesa
cerulean vortex
#

it can be direct

#

no contradiction

tame mesa
#

wait but then aren't we supposed to show A > f(R,r) cuz the black circle is outside the region of the parabola

cerulean vortex
#

i want to find an upper bound for the length of the solid black arc

tame mesa
#

I'm sorry I haven't really done these types of problems so I can't understand properly

cerulean vortex
#

i'm struggling to find the bound, so i can't go further at this point

tame mesa
#

wait you don't have the proof?

cerulean vortex
#

no

tame mesa
#

oh alright

#

ig I'll try a bit more on my approach

#

I'll have to go to sleep in a bit so what do I do just keep the channel occupied?

#

is there any limit on how long you can occupy a channel

cerulean vortex
#

in order to keep it open you have to hit a reaction when you get pinged

#

so if you go to sleep you'll lose the channel

#

BTW i found A < 2R^(1/4)

tame mesa
#

oh does that prove the thing?

cerulean vortex
#

no, but it's a step forward

tame mesa
#

we are supposed to get A<R right?

cerulean vortex
#

no

tame mesa
#

bruh then what

cerulean vortex
#

we need A * number of parabolas < 2pi*R

tame mesa
#

A was the black arc right?

cerulean vortex
#

yeah

tame mesa
#

and R was the radius of what?

cerulean vortex
#

the black circle

tame mesa
#

ohh okay I think I'm getting it kinda

#

oookay I finally got what you're trying to prove here

cerulean vortex
#

nice

tame mesa
#

but it's not necessarily true right? cuz some portion of the black circle can overlap within so just multiplying it with the number of parabolas may result in the product being more than 2piR

cerulean vortex
#

it can overlap with what?

tame mesa
#

I mean the same portion of the black circle can be in the interior of two parabolas, so you're counting that length twice

cerulean vortex
#

yes

#

so it's not an equality

#

but it is an inequality, which we can use

tame mesa
#

I mean if you prove the inequality then yes the proof is done but what if the inequality is impossible then we won't get anything from it

#

not impossible but maybe in some case it is not possible

cerulean vortex
#

it's like this

#

one arc is less than 2R^(1/4)

#

if the arcs don't overlap at all, then the sum of their lengths is less than 2R^(1/4) * N
if the arcs do overlap, then the covered portion of the circumference is yet smaller, and so it's still less than 2R^(1/4) * N

tame mesa
#

yea but what I'm saying is that it might be possible that 2R^(1/4) * N > 2piR, in that case you wouldn't get the desired inequality

cerulean vortex
#

i think we can make R big enough to avoid this

tame mesa
#

ok yea we can do that

#

anyways I'm gonna go to bed now it's already too late

cerulean vortex
#

I did like that:
sin x(sin x + 1) = 2
sin x = 1

#

Is it wrong ?

wooden python
#

mmmmmm yeah it is wrong

#

$ab=2$ does not tell you anything

clever fjordBOT
wooden python
#

certainly you cannot conclude a=2 or b=2 or any combination of these

#

same way you cannot solve the equation t^2 + t - 2 = 0 by writing it as t(t+1)=2. it's just kinda useless

stoic cloud
wooden python
#

and also that.

nimble blaze
#

well you can actually deduce sin(x) = 1 is a solution by inspection from that

#

but that doesn't tell you about other potential solutions

(it doesnt have anything to do with your question directly, just trying to figure out what you know)

#

I used to make 2 parentheses

wooden python
#

cool ok then thats something you have to review.

hybrid crypt
#

What u sent had one additional thing, -69

#

ok then. again. this is something you forgot or never learned. so you have to go (re)learn it.

You can also do a trick

If you have something in the form
ax^2 + bx + c, you need to find a pair of numbers which sum to “b” and multiple to give you “a multiplied by c”

orchid torrent
#

ex. let's say we have y = x + 1

#

(1,2) lies on it because x=1 and y=2 makes y=x+1 true

#

but (1,3) does not because x=1 and y=3 does not make y=x+1 true

#

does that make sense

mild owl
#

Im not sure i understand im so sorry

orchid torrent
mild owl
#

Sorry ive just re read it and i understand what your saying

#

Yes i get that because 1 + 1 =2

#

But how do you find out the answer to question b??? Ive looked in videos that say its a formula but im not sure i understand the logistics of it

#

I have done this before but i only remember finding the mid point at some point

nimble blaze
#

the slope between any two points on the same line will be the same

mild owl
#

So the gradient???

nimble blaze
#

yeh, same thing

mild owl

How would i find that out??

same as part a)

determine the gradient of AC or BC

I’m lost-ish

odd edgeBOT

#

Yes

#

Cuz sin3x/3x would = 1

amber veldt
#

would have a limit value of 1*

#

okay so we have this limit

tacit wasp

Think of how you can transform 4x into 3x without changing the function expression

amber veldt
#

$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{5\sin(3x)}{4x}$$

clever fjordBOT
#

#

limits have the property that you can factor in and out constant multiples

#

think of a clever way to multiply by 1 and then factor in and out numerator and denominators until you get what you want

#

you want to multiply by (number)/(number)

#

and then factor the numerator and denominator seperately

$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(3x)}{x}$$

my hint to you is to multiply by 1 = (number)/(number)

tropic remnant
# pure yoke heck no

Thanks for deleting your messages here. Please make sure you don't do this kind of thing in the future.

last geode
amber veldt
#

there's a theorem

#

suppose lim_{x to c}f(x) exists and is equal to L

#

let a be some number

#

then lim_{x to c}af(x) exists and is equal to aL

#

in other words, multiplying the function by a constant multiplies the limit by that constant

#

so you can find the limit first and then multiply after

last geode
#

Ok ok, I think i get it. It’ll prolly stick after some days but thanx

amber veldt
#

if the limit doesnt exist, then multiplying it by a nonzero number won't make it exist

#

np

#

so you can even test if a limit exists by factoring

#

in other words, if youre not sure if the limit of 5g(x) exists at x=c, you can take the limit of g(x), and if that limit doesnt exist, 5g(x) wont have a limit either

#

if it DOES have a limit, then the limit of g(x) at c will be 1/5 the limit of 5g(x)

#

make sense?

raven tendon
#

i’m stuck on this section, i’m not sure how i’m supposed to get the answer and what formula (if there is a formula) to use

indigo dirge
#

deltamath ptsd 😭 ok anyways, dyk what the IVT states?

raven tendon
#

not a single clue

indigo dirge
#

what about a continuous function?

#

like what does continuous mean

raven tendon
#

like it doesn’t disconnect it keeps going

marble laurel
#

That's the simple explanation

raven tendon
#

trying to keep it simple for my brain

indigo dirge
marble laurel
#

It is enough

#

Intermediate value theorem basically says given a continuous function's 2 endpoints, the function must pass through the values in between them

#

Imagine you are at home and you wanna go to the bus station at some place on the map

raven tendon
#

wait let me get my notebook out

marble laurel
#

You can have multiple paths to go there, but you must pass through at least the portion in between your house and the bus station

raven tendon
#

the least portion?

marble laurel
#

The portion sandwiched between the 2 endpoints

raven tendon
#

right okay

#

got it

marble laurel
#

So if you're given 2 function's endpoints, say (0,10) and (5,3), you can predict that it must pass through values of x from 0 to 5 and values of y from 3 to 10, provided that it's a continuous function

raven tendon
#

i don’t understand

#

would this be right

#

i’m gunna sen it

#

I WAS RIGHT

#

YOOOO

grim bridge
#

On number 3, I don’t know how you could tell

glass vault
#

so at 0 g is level

#

because wherever the derivative is 0 means rate of change is 0

grim bridge
#

Yes

#

Either a max or min on the graph of g

glass vault
#

the graph is the derivative of the derivative of g

#

so throughout the domain from 0 to 3 the rate of change is decreasing

grim bridge
#

Yes

glass vault
#

if the rate of change is decreasing from 0 the function itself can only be decreasing

#

so thats your answer

grim bridge
#

So because from 0 to 3 on the second derivative is negative, it means the first derivative has a negative rate of change which means the graph of g is also negative?

fiery geode
#

hi

#

i am really good at math for my age

frosty relic
#

since g'(0) =0
and g''(0)<0, at g(0), a local maxima occurs,
so on the right and left side of x=0, function will be decreasing

Why does g’’ being negative indicate a local minima

#

We know the chance of a positive test given a patient has the flu/does not

#

but how do I flip that?

#

so, we know the chance of having the flu given a positive test

#

then I just compound that with the initial 20%

#

its just that flipping part that has me confused

safe vapor
#

have you covered bayes theorem

crystal radish
#

no

tacit elm
#

P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) et P(B|A) = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)

#

Use thèse

crystal radish
#

Can you remind me what | and ∩ mean? I think thats or and intersection but idk

safe vapor
#

intersection

#

(and)

amber veldt
#

| denotes conditional probability

crystal radish
#

ohhh so like

#

P(A) if event B happens

#

?

amber veldt
#

oops didnt mean to auote

crystal radish
#

got it

amber veldt
#

to understand the theorem

#

multiply both sides by P(B), imo its more intuitive that way

safe vapor
#

i don't think conditional probability is actually usable here? I think you need bayes

#

You can derive bayes from conditional probability but that's hard to do independently

#

I would use a tree

crystal radish
#

what is bayes/how do you use a tree?

safe vapor
#

Bayes' theorem is a theorem to (basically) find P(A|B) if you know P(B|A) and some extra info. You'll learn it at some point.

#

To use a tree, start by making two branches: patient has bird flu/patient doesnt have bird flu

#

Then for each branch, make a sub branch: patient tests positive/patient tests negative

errant dew
#

$P(A|B)P(B)=P(B|A)P(A)$

clever fjordBOT
#

BBMaths

safe vapor
#

afterwards, you can find the portion of "patient has the flu" is in "patient tests positive". might be hard to understand through text so you can send a photo of your labelled tree (with probabilities)

crystal radish
#

sure 1sec

safe vapor
#

\cap

I knew cap from doing latex in Microsoft word but I didn’t know if that was standard or if I could just write intersect

clever fjordBOT
#

errant dew
#

I’ve made a mess of this lol

crystal radish
#

btw should I have done 0.2*0.98?

#

or just left it like i did

safe vapor
#

you shoudlve done 0.2*0.98

#

you can think of "100 people..."

errant dew
#

Try to use the Bayes theorem equation, you’ll need to pick what A and B mean (Positive test result, has the flu)

crystal radish
errant dew
crystal radish
#

lol ik i meant in the context of bayes how do i draw a tree

safe vapor
#

okay, so 19.6 people with the flu test positive, and 32 people without the flu tested positive. Of the 32+19.6 people who tested positive, what percentage actually has the flu?

crystal radish
#

ohhhh thats genius

#

its 49/129 ~= 0.3798

#

so i basically just did bayes?

safe vapor
#

The formalization of this is Bayes' Theorem. Look it up if you want so you won't need to make a tree every single time

#

Yep

crystal radish
#

wow, thank you

#

that actually makes a lot of sense

safe vapor
#

P(Flu | Positive) = P(Positive | Flu) * P(Flu) / P(Positive). Which is what you did by hand.

crystal radish
#

btw which class will i learn this in?

#

because i see it is not apart of AP Stats so

safe vapor
#

Probability, isn't that what you;re doing now?

crystal radish
#

will it be in a college class?

safe vapor
#

oh

crystal radish
#

this is

#

competive math

#

not a class

safe vapor
#

AP Stats might have it in the Probability chapter... not sure

#

It's a pretty simple theorem, you might do it in hs if you ever take a "Prob & Stats" type class. Otherwise intro Probability in college yeah

tame mesa
odd edgeBOT
tame mesa
#

so I had asked this question yesterday night but couldn't get any answer, I was trying to prove it by showing that the parabolas cannot cover the entire circumference of a big enough circle

short terrace
#

Uh this can be done using affine maps, but since you have the pre-uni flair I doubt that's gonna be helpful

tame mesa
#

it was asked in a college entrance exam

quasi falcon
# tame mesa

My best idea was that you can show that not matter what kind of parabola, supposing their interior intersects at their apexes, eventually their border will cross, creating space which is not covered by any of the two

short terrace
#

I don't see a way to rigorously prove this without using the fact that all parabolas are affine maps of y = x²

tame mesa
tame mesa
short terrace
#

Essentially the idea becomes that

#

As you go farther and farther in the parabola

#

Your angle gets smaller and smaller

#

You prove this for y = x²

#

And then you show that the proof transfers over affine transformations

tame mesa
short terrace
#

Yes

short terrace
#

Yes I know

#

Which is why I'm confused as to how you'd do this

#

You could prove it directly for the general form of a parabola ig

#

But that sounds like hell

tame mesa
tame mesa
# cerulean vortex

yesterday someone was trying to do something from this (you can read the convo and maybe get something from it)

quasi falcon
#

This is on the lines of what you already said, but, for y = x^2, suppose you draw a cone from x = 0, to both x = \pm a

as a -> inf does the angle -> 0?

short terrace
#

It does yes

quasi falcon
#

If you take the asymptotic behaviour you can think that the parabolas basically cover no space if considering the whole plane

short terrace
#

That's a.. not difficult proof

quasi falcon
#

I think that should be valid

short terrace
#

But yes it is reasonable to claim that

short terrace
quasi falcon
#

Any transformation that has ax^2, a =/= 0 will still have to follow that idea in the end

short terrace
#

Intuitively yes

tame mesa
quasi falcon
#

ill try to graph it out in desmos to showcase the idea

tacit elm
#

Actually Let’s think of this differently

short terrace
tacit elm
#

Assume you take x = m

#

Given that there Is a finite number of parabolas

tame mesa
short terrace
#

That doesn't exactly work since it's "fatter" at the bottom

#

But yes that's the idea

The Line x = m intersects the parábolas in a finite number of points

#

Since the line is infinite

short terrace
#

Oh holy shit

tacit elm
#

There are infinite points within the line that are not covered

short terrace
#

That is genius

tame mesa
#

um but how does that prove the question?

tacit elm
#

I just proved that there are points in the plane that are not in the parábolas

short terrace
#

Wait shaki

#

It's interiors

tame mesa
#

It may not lie inside 1 parabola but some part of it may lie inside other parabolas

short terrace
#

Not boundaries

tame mesa
short terrace
tacit elm
#

No

#

Again Let’s formalize this cleanly

short terrace
#

You can say the intersection has finite measure in L_1

#

But that feels way too overboard for a college entrance exam

tacit elm
#

No need to talk about measure here

#

Assume you have n parábolas

short terrace
tacit elm
#

A parábola crosses a random line in at most 2 points

#

So take any line of the plane

#

It will have at most 2n intersections with all the parábolas

#

Since the line has infinite points

#

There is an infinity of points that are in the line and not in the intersection

tame mesa
#

if we take two parabolas that touch each other at the vertex and the line as their axis then the number of poi's is finite but the line still lies within the parabolas

tacit elm
#

So they are in the plane and not in the intersection

tacit elm
#

If they touch each other at the vertex, the intersection is 1 point

short terrace
#

A parabola rotated 90° is still a parabola no?

tame mesa
#

um I think just showing that the number of point of intersections being finite doesn't mean the line will not lie inside the parabolas entirely

tacit elm
#

That’s Why I said at most 2 points

quasi falcon
#

Yeah, you can easily prove by exhaustion that an infinite line is either:

  1. Crosses the parabola once, half of it is inside the parabola, the other out.
  2. It crosses it two times.
  3. It doesnt cross it at all

The big problem would be 1. But that only happens when the axis of the parabola is parallel to the line itself
So, to cover for all "slopes" of a line, you would have to exhaust all angles, and that requires infinite parabolas.

Consider x = y² and x = -y², the line x = 0 lies entirely in these two

quasi falcon
#

yes, but you can rotate your line

tacit elm
#

So no

#

Ok let’s pose for a second please

#

Take any line and any parábola

#

Orient them however you want

#

Rótate them squeeze them

#

The number of intersections Is at most 2 points

#

So if you take one Line, and a finite number of parabolas (say n)

#

The parábolas cover at most 2n points of the line

#

So an infinite number of points in the line are not covered by the parábolas

tame mesa
short terrace
#

A line and a parabola's interior can have an intersection of the form [n, ∞] no

tame mesa
#

but yea I can see why it works

quasi falcon
#

I missed the case where the line is tangent, but thats pretty trivial to prove that it has points outside of it

tame mesa
quasi falcon
#

Theres another:

tame mesa
#

limiting case actually

short terrace
quasi falcon
#

Not really, it can never not be inside of the parabola:

tame mesa
quasi falcon
#

Suppose you have two opposite looking parabolas, just rotate your line by some angle

#

and then its outside of both

#

And since for every other case, it cant be fully contained inside of the parabola, you would need infinite rotated parabolas

tame mesa
#

damn that was surprisingly simple

#

alright then thanks for the help guys

quasi falcon
#

When you go further up the parabola, the angle it fully covers gets smaller and smaller

tame mesa
#

yea that can work as well ig

quasi falcon
#

its a bit more convoluted, the geometric reasoning is 100% better

tame mesa
#

yea

peak heath

can anyone tell me where to start on this problem

peak heath
#

i tried to express the equation as 2x/((2x^2 - 2x + 3) - 3x) + 13x/((2x^2 - 2x + 3) + 3x) = 6, but idk what to do

odd edgeBOT
#

@peak heath Has your question been resolved?

snow rune
#

try to factor the denominators

#

wait

#

acctually idt that works

peak heath
#

the problem is that the one with 13x can't be factored

#

<@&286206848099549185>

snow rune
#

you can always bash it out

peak heath
#

uh

#

how

snow rune
#

multiply both sides by the product of the denominators

peak heath
#

uh ok

#

<@&286206848099549185> WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE

vivid wyvern
peak heath
#

yes

#

but the denominators are not factoranble (the second onE)

vivid wyvern
#

But inspite of not being able to factorize it u can multiply both lhs and rhs by the product of denominators

#

And expand

peak heath
#

but i got 8x^4 - 26x^3 + 35x^2 - 39x + 18 = 0, and what can i do with this

vivid wyvern
#

Lemme see if it can be factored easily or not

#

2 seems to be a root to that
