again, theres probably an easier geometric method, but im not a greek philosopher to know what that would be

# drowsy river
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
drowsy river
safe vapor
#

Even if you answer (1), tell us everything you know about the problem. Do you know what an intersection and union is? Lacking that, do you at least know what M and V represent?

drowsy river
#

not even what the variables represent

safe vapor
#

You don't know what M = {-1, 2, 5} means?

drowsy river
#

no

#

is it a function

wooden python
#

no, it's a set

safe vapor
#

Do you know what a set is?

drowsy river
#

use too I forgot

safe vapor
drowsy river
#

aaalright

safe vapor
#

So now, can you define a set in your own words?

drowsy river
safe vapor
#

any group of things

#

{apple, banana, orange} is a set

#

{1, 2, 3, 8} is a set

drowsy river
#

ah

#

alright

safe vapor
#

They just contain "things"

#

So M contains -1, 2, and 5

drowsy river
#

gotcha

#

can we talk about the notation?

wooden python
#

(M contains -1, 2 and 5, and no other things)

drowsy river
drowsy river
#

cool pfp btw

wooden python
#

thank you

drowsy river
#

In this case M abd V

#

and*

safe vapor
#

The things in a set are "elements", the M is just a "set"

wooden python
#

M and N? yeah. these are the names of those sets

drowsy river
#

alright alright

#

so what do the U’s mean

safe vapor
#

So the set called "M" has elements -1, 2, 5.

drowsy river
#

and V has -1, 1, 3 and 7

safe vapor
#

Read definition 2.5 and 2.7 now.

drowsy river
safe vapor
#

(example 2.3 & 2.4 are useful here too)

drowsy river
#

in one the middle was shaded

#

but in the other everything was shaded

#

so in the first is it only similarities and the second is everything?

safe vapor
#

Did you read definition 2.5?

drowsy river
#

in this case -1

drowsy river
#

ok ok I see

#

I defined it correctly

#

upside down u is the collection of sets

#

so what they both have

#

and normal u is what they don’t have

safe vapor
#

yep

#

no

drowsy river
#

is that right or do I got it flip flopped

safe vapor
#

upside down u, the intersection is correct

drowsy river
#

what about normal u

#

whats the case with that one

lean ivy
safe vapor
#

the intersection of two sets, $A \cap B$ is the set of all elements in both A and B

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

lean ivy
#

A set including elements of both the sets

drowsy river
#

okay

#

so {-1}?

safe vapor
#

yes

#

since -1 is in both sets

lean ivy
#

Intersection yes

drowsy river
#

do I just say { -1 upside down u -1 }?

safe vapor
#

hence it is in the intersection

lean ivy
#

No

drowsy river
#

Oh

#

how do I use the notation when it’s the same number

safe vapor
#

no, you just say $M \cap V = {-1}$

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

drowsy river
#

ohhh

lean ivy
#

A upside down u B={-1}

safe vapor
#

with curly brackets {-1}

lean ivy
safe vapor
#

the intersection of two sets is a set itself, so you need the curly brackets

drowsy river
#

okay and what does upside down u do again

lean ivy
drowsy river
#

but for other

#

I meant upside

#

sorry impulse

#

Like U

#

not inverse

lean ivy
drowsy river
#

I should probably say that

lean ivy
#

Set including elements of both the sets

safe vapor
#

read def 2.7 and try to understand it yourself

drowsy river
lean ivy
safe vapor
#

then get back to us

late dust
drowsy river
#

common doesnt equal same elements?

lean ivy
drowsy river
#

im lost

lean ivy
#

Eh maybe I am complicating things

safe vapor
#

youre getting caught up in terminology, read 2.7 and you can come up with terminology you're comfortable with

drowsy river
#

alright

drowsy river
#

Is it like functions?

#

where you don’t have to reiterate it it’s the same number

#

{ -1, 2, 3, 5, 7}

#

for the union

safe vapor
#

yes exactly

drowsy river
#

okay

#

how do I properly notate that

#

U is union inverse is intersection

safe vapor
#

$M \cup V = {-1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7}$

drowsy river
#

oh I literally just list the numbers

#

thats pretty simple now that I know

late dust
safe vapor
#

yeah, just dont forget the curly bracket

drowsy river
#

only one I missed is the other -1

#

do I need to write it twice?

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

safe vapor
#

you missed a positive 1

drowsy river
#

oh wait

#

my bad im tired

#

you’re right

safe vapor
#

So, in one sentence each, with no math words, explain what the intersection and union of two sets are.

drowsy river
#

The intersection of two sets is when the sets have matching numbers. The union of two sets is when you compile all the numbers present in both sets

safe vapor
#

exactly

drowsy river
#

can we do some example problems

#

btw normal U is compiled and upside down is similar right

safe vapor
#

Wdym compiled and similar

drowsy river
safe vapor
#

yep

drowsy river
#

what happens when theres nothing in common for upside down

safe vapor
#

{}

#

def 2.1

drowsy river
#

ah 0 marked through

safe vapor
#

A set can have nothing in it. It's called the empty set (2.1). If there is nothing in common for the intersection, $U \cap V = {}$ simply

drowsy river
#

got it

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

safe vapor
#

(or the O marked through symbol, same thing)

#

Basically both mean that "this set is empty"

drowsy river
#

gotcha gotcha

#

do they have to be in alphabetical order

#

when it’s letters

safe vapor
#

Like what?

drowsy river
#

M = {a,b,j,z}
V = {i,a,y}

#

for normal u do I have to write it as

#

{a…

#

or can I do {z…

wooden python
#

order doesn't matter

drowsy river
#

aleks is dumb then

safe vapor
#

I mean... there isn't a strict rule. It's typically nice to have some sort of order but both are acceptable.

drowsy river
#

marked me for not putting in in alphabetical

wooden python
#

it's conventional to put the elements of a set in order if an obvious ordering exists

drowsy river
#

thanks for the real world clarification though

wooden python
#

but you can list the elements in any order you want and it'll still be the same set

drowsy river
#

gotcha

#

do you think I’ll ever have to write the U symbols myself

#

or will it always be formatted like M u Z etc

safe vapor
#

like on a computer?

drowsy river
#

yeah

#

or paper

safe vapor
#

Paper sure, computer probably not?

#

How would you write $\cap$ on a computer

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

drowsy river
karmic arrow
drowsy river
#

good point

wooden python
#

if they expect you to write fancy symbols they will provide you with the means to do so

drowsy river
#

do you guys have any good way to remember the difference

karmic arrow
wooden python
#

i$\cap$tersection

clever fjordBOT
drowsy river
#

oh wow never thought of that

drowsy river
drowsy river
#

ah Ikay

#

math is so fun when it clicks

#

is there any hard examples

karmic arrow
#

Of what?

drowsy river
#

this

karmic arrow
#

Of Union and Intersection?

drowsy river
#

yeah

karmic arrow
#

I mean, not really, no. Mostly in like infinite sets or in cases of large sets the questions could feel daunting but like, it's a super simple concept

safe vapor
#

Not in the standard form you're used to (ie. here's M, here's V, find the intersection). The proofs can get tricky because they're abstract (can't rely on any literal elements). You can find some in the document's latter pages.

#

Like a relatively simple one would be show $|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|$

clever fjordBOT
#

Stitches

drowsy river
#

ooof

safe vapor
#

Where |A| is the number of elements in set A. Ie. if A = {1, 5, 6}, |A| = 3

drowsy river
#

Maybe thats later on

safe vapor
#

yeah

drowsy river
#

is this kinda like how log has its own rules

#

multiply = add

#

vice versa

safe vapor
#

kinda? the rules are less obvious though

shell haven
safe vapor
#

yeah it holds for cardinalities, combinations, etc

#

pretty cool

#

even vector spaces

karmic arrow
shell haven
#

Cool

drowsy river
#

but I didn’t know this and now I have an understanding so

#

I don’t know it yet

#

could someone tell me my mistake here

safe vapor
#

either use {} or the O with the line through it, not both

#

teh O with the line through it already means "an empty set". so no need for curly brackets here

drowsy river
#

okay thanks

#

I basically double crossed out

safe vapor
#

not really double cross, more like saying "the empty set set"

drowsy river
#

thats all for now

#

thank you everyone who helped

fickle girder
#

can someone give me a brief overview of converting heaviside functions to piecewise functions, just want to understand

devout hedge
#

the Heaviside step function?

fickle girder
#

yes

devout hedge
#

what convention are you using for H(0)?

#

alternatively, what is your definition of the Heaviside step function?

fickle girder
#

this is the convention that we use (engineering)

devout hedge
#

I see. this itself is piecewise.

fickle girder
#

yeah we are just given examples like this with our definition and told to convert to piecewise

#

ok

#

i think it is clicking in my head now

devout hedge
#

hm, this is more of converting transformations of Heaviside functions to a piecewise function.

fickle girder
#

i see that now, we are just taught its an on-off switch and its the most simple piecewise function

#

but its starting to make more sense to me now

pallid epoch
#

I'd suggest expanding each of the step functions

#

And then looking at the different sections you're left with

#

Combining anything that overlaps

fickle girder

okay i get it now, thank u both

tranquil basin
#

There is a geometric sequence of length 3 and if you add 24 to the 2nd term and subtract 24 from the 3rd term you get an arithmetic sequence. The sum of all 3 terms is 168

wooden python
#

thats a nice fact about a sequence of numbers

#

what are you asked to do with that?

tranquil basin
#

i am asked to find the sequence

#

here is my previous work but i sidnt reallly get anywhere

wooden python
#

ok so i was gonna ask whether 168 was the sum of the AP or that of the GP but those two total to the same amount anyway.

tranquil basin
#

yes

wooden python
#

you've already found that $a_1 + d = 56$ and you know that $a_1 + d = a_2 + 24$ as per your write-out of the terms in both sequences.

clever fjordBOT
wooden python
#

so you can find the 2nd term in the GP. as in you straight up know its value.

tranquil basin
#

right

#

80

#

i will rewrite it in clearer terms

#

no 56 my bad

wooden python
#

wrong both times, it's 32.

#

the middle term of the AP is 56 and this is 24 higher than the middle term of the GP

tranquil basin
#

i meant 56 in the arithmetic

wooden python
#

yes that is true then

tranquil basin
#

ok

wooden python
#

work out the entire GP though

#

you know that its other two terms are (in your notation) 32/k and 32*k

tranquil basin
#

yes

#

but i dont know what k is

wooden python
#

good thing you can find out what it is

#

you still know the sum of the GP is 168

tranquil basin
#

you are right i took a different approach but i think that the results will be teh same

[ \sin^2\left( \frac{x}{2}\right) = \frac{1-\cos x}{2}] might be useful?

clever fjordBOT
fleet lake
#

i thought that but it will increase variables i guessed

waxen talon
#

wdym increase the variables?

fleet lake
#

cos😅

strange aspen
#

Maybe check the range
sin(x)sin^2(x/2)=-1
sin^2(x/2) can only be positive
sin(x) should be -1

fleet lake
#

yeah

#

yep

void yew
#

maybe divide both sides by 13, then take alpha= arccos(12/13), and simplify LHS into sin(alpha+x)

stoic cloud
#

I’m pretty sure this has no real solutions.

fleet lake
#

i got same

but doubted it

Well it doesn’t have Real solution

Don’t doubt yourself! If you got that answer, you should say so to those trying to help! You might be able to get your answer faster that way.

#

ohk ill take care next time

#

the thing id i always doubt my solution in ranges and domains

#

who knows if i forget to include some imp stuffs

#

does it have a solution @stoic cloud ?

stoic cloud
#

I don’t believe it has a real solution but it probably does in the complex plane.

void yew
#

Yeah it has no solutions in real numbers

stoic cloud
#

Although I don’t have proof of it other than using a calculator.

fleet lake
#

pls no

void yew
#

If you simplify LHS into ||sin(x +alpha)||

#

Then you know its max is 1

fleet lake
fleet lake
void yew
#

Yeah I mean that too

#

Divide both sides by 13

#

Then you can simplify into sin(x+alpha)

#

And RHS will be >1

fleet lake
#

i mean the prblm of doubting myself

stoic cloud
#

There are solutions in the complex plane. However, they are EXTREMELY repulsive.

void yew
#

Oh

stoic cloud
#

no closed forms exist, and they’re multivalued

$\max_{\bd{x} : \nrm{\bd{x}} = 1} \nrm{\bd{Ax}}$ would be the maximum value of $\nrm{\bd{Ax}}$ taken over all $\bd{x}$ such that $\nrm{\bd{x}} = 1$.

hello, i need some help real quick, it seems easy but idk why i cant think of how to do it, but how do i find the limit of x-3ln(x) in +inf??

molten vigil
#

im just missing an easy thing ig but i've been on it for 5 minutes and it's a bit annoying to see something that easy but not finding the solution

short terrace
#

My first thought is raising e to this power

molten vigil
#

why that??

short terrace
#

Just seeing ln

molten vigil
#

oh yeah but even if it was the solution i cant really just put as an exponent

#

there's no equality

short terrace
#

e^(x-3ln(x)) = (e^x)/e^(3ln(x)) = e^x/x³

#

And then you can probably use the power series of e^x?

short terrace
molten vigil
#

im not sure i can just summon the exponential function just like that

it seems a bit too useful lmao

and by graphing the function with ln i still dont have the same curve

short terrace
#

You instead find the limit of ln(e^f(x))

molten vigil
#

in green my function in purple yours

#

Show me the equations you're graphing

molten vigil
#

or i've messed up

Show the equations

molten vigil
#

oooh no right okay i see how it works now

#

sorry for being a bit annoying to you

Lmao as long as you got it

#

anyway thanks

i wouldnt have thought of that tbh so thanks

How does the leading coefficient in a function determine limits?

errant dew
#

The power also matters like x^7 and x^8 will be different

#

(Note: this is for when x tends to positive and negative infinity)

fair moon
errant dew
#

The even odd ness of it

#

Like x^1=x how does that behave for x tending to infinity and - infinity

fair moon
#

Ohhhh.

errant dew
#

Key thing about limits is you’re trying to say what the value would be near a number but not at it, for infinity it’s a bit different instead you’re letting x get bigger and bigger “closer to infinity”

fair moon
#

All odd powers behave the same?

errant dew
#

Yes

fair moon
#

Same with even?

errant dew
#

Yes

#

The difference with even is that -infty goes to infinity

#

But odd goes to -infinity

#

Also if the coefficient is negative then everything i said is flipped

#

Except the bit about evens and odds being the same as each other

#

Like x^2 goes to infinity both ways -x^2 goes to -infinity both ways

#

If it’s like 2x^2 nothing changes

#

Try graphing the function x^n in Desmos or Geogebra

fair moon
#

So if my limits are as x to infinity f(x) -infinity, and x to -infinity, then f(x) to infinity, then I have to have a negative coefficient with an odd exponent?

errant dew
#

lol autocorrect

#

Can you post problem again

#

Just to make sure

errant dew
#

If they match both ways it’s even power and if they don’t it’s odd power then you work out sign based off which is positive and negative

errant dew
fair moon
#

B.

errant dew
#

Yes I think it’s that one try graphing it

fair moon
#

But how do I determine right end vs. left end behavior?

errant dew
#

For next question?

fair moon
#

No, same one.

errant dew
#

Oh so with the answer get the question?

fair moon
#

What?

#

The negative sign affects which end? Right or left?

#

Or is it something else?

errant dew
#

I’m confused what you’re asking

#

I can share a graph with your answer to the question to see that it’s correct

fair moon
errant dew
#

So regardless of the power, for x tending to infinity it will have the same sign as the coefficient

fair moon
#

Uhhh.

#

Ohhhh.

#

So positive coefficient is positive infinity, same goes for negative?

errant dew
#

Yes

#

If you think about it x^n for positive x will be positive because you are multiplying positive stuff together

#

Then the coefficient is the only thing that matters

fair moon
errant dew
#

No

fair moon
#

Ok.

errant dew
#

Even exponent they are same odd exponent they are different

fair moon
#

Ohhhh.

errant dew
#

the x tending positive infinity is infinity but the sign of that infinity depends on the sign of coefficient (they are the same)

fair moon
#

So best thing to do is look at the exponent first to see if the behaviors are the same?

errant dew
#

I think the coefficient is more important as that tells you the limit for when x tends to positive infinity

#

Then use powers to find the negative infinity case (same or different*)

fair moon
#

Ok.

#

So,
Positive coefficient and even exponent, both to positive infinity
Negative coefficient and even exponent, both to negative infinity

#

How do you know which side is negative and which is positive though when odd exponent?

errant dew
#

The coefficient of the term is the positive infinity case

#

So if it’s like 17 then the positive infinity case is positive

fair moon
#

Ok.

#

Negative 17, it’s negative?

cause chatgpt keeps telling me south of east but i thouhgt it was north of west

#

why is it south of east?

woeful briar
#

you want to create an equilabrium

#

so its supposed to be in the opposite direction of the total force

acoustic marsh
#

I can't tell if pearson just hates me or not. I've been going at these questions for who knows how long but it just won't click and the explanations aren't helping me. can someone explain this to me?

manic grail
#

are you stuck on 1 ?

#

or which

#

so discontinuity

#

in graph

#

looks as if there is a gap in drawing the function

acoustic marsh
#

Hey 🥹 there are more parts after this but I thought I understood discontinuity and got it wrong, this is my last try so I came here

manic grail
#

so think of it if we have to raise the pen at some point to continue drawing then its not continious

#

if its continious we can draw it out in one go

acoustic marsh
#

oh no it doesnt matter if the there is a hollow dot, only if the line jumps

#

so*

late dust
#

It'd be better if you showed what you tried and why you think it's right or wrong

manic grail
#

ok so where do you see the first point where there is a gap in the graph

acoustic marsh
#

1 because it cuts off? or 2 because of the jump

late dust
#

Go through the checklist

manic grail
#

yes on x=2

errant dew
#

Where do you think the discontinuities are

manic grail
#

it has a gap

late dust
#

At x=1, is f defined?

acoustic marsh
#

wait

manic grail
#

is the orange line denoting a asymptotic line ?

acoustic marsh
#

im assuming

#

so no yea?

late dust
#

Yes it is

manic grail
#

probably is

late dust
manic grail
#

if not then there is no point in talking about continiouty there

acoustic marsh
#

oooh

late dust
#

Next point, again go through the checklist

manic grail
#

and tell us what you think of each

acoustic marsh
#

next would be 3 because it violated #1 yea?

manic grail
#

like the 3 rules

#

that might be violated

acoustic marsh
#

yesh

#

it violated rule 1?

manic grail
#

go from 1 to 3 and tell me which are violated and which not

acoustic marsh
#

cuz no solid dot?

manic grail
#

yeas it does

late dust
late dust
acoustic marsh
#

OOH

#

ok so 1, 2, 3 are discontinuities?

manic grail
late dust
#

Yes, do you know why 2 is?

acoustic marsh
#

because #3 isnt satisfied?

late dust
#

No

acoustic marsh
#

WAIIT

#

CUZ

#

#@

#

#2

#

cuz asympote

#

asymtope

late dust
#

?

manic grail
late dust
#

There's no asymptote at x=2

acoustic marsh
#

wait im smart

#

OMG

manic grail
acoustic marsh
#

i cant read a graph sorry xd

#

because #2 isnt satisfied

#

the lim isnt the same of both sides

manic grail
#

also asymptote doesnt mean the limit exist

late dust
#

Exactly

acoustic marsh
#

oooh ok ok

manic grail
manic grail
late dust
#

So you have 1,2,3; any more points?

acoustic marsh
#

5?

manic grail
acoustic marsh
#

#2

manic grail
#

you might be confusing it with derivative

#

why would the limit not exist

late dust
#

Careful about this

acoustic marsh
#

OOOH I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT

manic grail
late dust
#

No it's not

manic grail
late dust
#

f is not defined there

manic grail
#

oh 5

#

i was looking at 4

manic grail
#

we cant talk about continuity there

late dust
#

We can; it is a discontinuity, just not in the interval (0,5)

manic grail
#

how can we

#

its out of the domain

late dust
manic grail
#

can you talk about continuity at x=7?

#

its not defined there either

late dust
#

Yes

acoustic marsh
#

oh cuz its not a [0,5] interval?

manic grail
#

it makes no sense to talk about discontinuity at a point that is at x=7

late dust
#

Continuity implies that the function is defined; the function is not defined at 7, so it's obviously not continuous there either

manic grail
#

it makes no sense to talk about continuity there at the first place

late dust
acoustic marsh
#

oh so its just because there is no line that actually touces x=5?

#

OOOH

#

THATS SO SMARRT

#

ok so my discontinuities are 1,2,3

manic grail
#

@late dust talking about continuity for example for lnx in negative numbers is meaningless

acoustic marsh
#

now its asking for what violates the 1st condition, that would be 2 and 3?

manic grail
#

obviously im talking about the real numbers

#

a condition of continuity is the limit

late dust
#

Still applies: not defined, not continuous

manic grail
#

the limit expects that the function is defind around the poitn

#

either on (x,a) or (a,x)

#

or both

#

you cant talk about continuity on places where the limit isnt even properly defined

late dust
#

I'm not gonna argue with you; a function f is continuous at c if the limit x->c of f(x) equals f(c); if f(c) is not defined, there is no equality, and so no continuity

manic grail
#

its like examing limit x->-oo lnx

late dust
manic grail
acoustic marsh
#

its asking for the 2nd condition now, that'd be 1, 2 yea?

acoustic marsh
#

yea it was right 🥹

#

ok this is the tricky one i was stuck on

#

it satisfies the first 2 but violates the third

#

none of them do, no?

manic grail
#

yea i dont see any

#

youd need both lines to go into a empty dot

#

and there to be a full dot upper or lower than the other one

#

like this

acoustic marsh
#

OOOH I SEEE

#

thank you i fineally understand

#

🥹

manic grail
#

the limit doesnt care about what happens at x=a

acoustic marsh
#

oooh

#

okkk

#

thanks you so so so so much

It looks like C might be the center of the circle here

#

am I wrong to assume that?

#

and if I am right, how do I know for sure?

short terrace
#

Hmm yes it should be the center

#

You already have CD = CB

#

You need to show they're equal to CA

#

Use congruent triangles

vernal yacht
short terrace
#

Hullo Sky

vernal yacht
#

I have another idea tho

vernal yacht
short terrace
#

Just another day not being green

vernal yacht
#

Today is the day 🔥🔥

short terrace
#

Just connect A and C and tell me what happens

crystal radish
#

what do you mean by that?

#

congruent triangles make sense to me because it splits the 120 into 60 & 60

short terrace
#

Join A and C using a line

#

Yes

#

It's also just a property of rhombuses

crystal radish
#

oh yeah diagonals are equal

short terrace
#

I thought maybe you could invoke it without proving

crystal radish
#

right?

short terrace
crystal radish
#

wait no

short terrace
#

Diagonals are angle bisectors

crystal radish
#

ahhh

#

that makes sense

short terrace
#

The proof uses congruent triangles

#

But if it's mentioned as a property

#

You can just use it directly

#

Check what your book says

crystal radish
#

dont have a book, this is a competition problem

short terrace
#

Ah in that case prove it ig

crystal radish
#

but anyway, moving on from this part, i also got the question wrong 😭

#

from here i set r=1

#

so area of circle is pi

#

then i found area of rhombus by doing 1/2 * base * height of the two triangles

#

height is sqrt(2)

#

base is1

#

so area is sqrt(2)

#

is then ido sqrt(2)/pi

#

for ~0.45 but thats wrong

#

correct is 0.2757

short terrace
#

That sounds wrong

#

The area of a rhombus is just base * height

#

Your base is 1

#

And your height is sin 60

#

Which is sqrt(3)/2 right

#

,calc sqrt(3)/2pi

clever fjordBOT
#

Result:

0.2756644477109
short terrace
#

Yup

crystal radish
#

oh ok

#

so i just found area wrong

short terrace
#

Yeah

crystal radish
#

im going to write this formula down

#

actually ill prob just write all area formulas

short terrace
#

Essentially a rhombus is two congruent triangles

#

A triangle is 1/2* base * height

#

So a rhombus is base * height

#

This is true of a parallelogram as well

crystal radish
#

yeah that makes sense

#

now i realize i just assumed height of each triangle was

#

sqrt(2)

#

but its actually sqrt(3)/2

#

now that i do pythagorean

#

so i was on the right track anyway

short terrace
#

Yup

#

Also another fun fact

#

Area of a parallelogram is ab sin θ

#

So you can just use that directly

crystal radish
#

what is the value of a & b?

short terrace
#

a and b are the side lengths

crystal radish
#

so for a rhombus you can just do

#

2a

#

sin theta

short terrace
#

...no

crystal radish
#

arent sides equal?

short terrace
#

a.a is not 2a

crystal radish
#

oh 💀

#

a^2

#

mb

short terrace
#

Yes

#

alright thank you so much

if $a(a^{24}-1)$ is divisible by p for all interger a (p is a prime number) then $a^{24}-1$ is divisible by $a^{p} - 1$ (basically 24 is divisible by p)

well the original problem is find all n where $a^{25}-a$ is divisible by n

clever fjordBOT
#

shio6695

rich eagle
#

(for all interger a), i just need to find the possible prime factors of n though

waxen talon
#

it's kinda obvious that $n$ could be $1$, $a$, $a^{24} - 1$ and $a^{25} - a$

clever fjordBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

waxen talon
#

ofc negate all that and you got 8 results

rich eagle
#

you can just test it and see that n can be 2;3;5;7;13

#

but also things like 6 because n = 2*3

what made you decide those limits DNE?

whats making you say its DNE for both of them

since the left side and right side isnt equal

fluid bluff

second one is totally 5

what are the left and right limits you are getting?

fluid bluff

because both sides are equal

#

and i think first one is 3

#

both sides also equal

stoic sparrow

wdym

#

you can figure out its a quadratic

wait

yea?

what if x=>1?

then its a root and quadratic intersection

try calculating the limits from both sides and you get that they are equal

wouldnt it be x=>1- = 1+3=4 then x=>1+=1? then since its not equal its DNE or is my x=>1+ side is wrong?

ohhh

if you practice a bit you will master it cause you already did the limit to 1 right

thank you so muchh and may i ask if its like thisss

4 is incorrect

look at it closely

is it also 1?

chrome prawn
#

area should be somethinggg along the lines of 15/4 = 2(ln(4))/c ?

#

unless i am wrong

#

15/4-2ln(4)/c soz

fleet tapir
#

Well this says that the area will be infinite

#

Show your working

chrome prawn
#

my original working for the previous question was wrong

#

ill try again

#

ok area function is very complex, something like this

#

and this is a tech free exam

#

so i think its more conceptual rather than area of a function hence the bare bones explanation

Hi

chrome prawn
#

I just did g(x) = x solve

fleet tapir
#

Ah okay the 3 is outside the square root

chrome prawn
#

but this exam is tech free so i dont think it calls for an area functgin

#

i did understand it but for a calc free exam i dont know if i would've gotten that

#

on my own

fleet tapir
#

That's why you prepare for it

chrome prawn
#

Just plug in c=0 everywhere in this integral and the integral you need to do is much simpler

Given that A and B are subsets of M. Prove that these following statements are equivalent:

wooden python
#

a six-way equivalence huh

brittle plinth
#

now I haven't started yet but what is confusing me is the way they present the proof of the equivalence of f) and a)

wooden python
#

are you sure that's actually what they're doing? proving f=>a and also proving a=>f?

brittle plinth
#

They only proved f -> a it seems

#

which is the part that confused me

#

because I think you also have to prove a -> f

wooden python
#

can i see the whole proof

#

i dont speak viet but i should be able to figure out the notation

brittle plinth
#

it's in Vietnamese so I'll translate

wooden python
#

show the original too

#

or, post the original first, then translate afterwards

#

google lens tends to screw up math notation badly

brittle plinth
#

Wait nvm

#

they said the rest is "left for readers"

wooden python
#

show anyway

#

i wanna know exactly how much and what is left for the reader

signal yacht
#

knowing math books, presumably all of it
