#

breh

stray socket
#

Sounds like a shit unit

ivory gate
#

nono

muted ibex
#

Nono

#

omg

ivory gate
#

its quite inuitive

foggy salmon
#

what

#

ive never seen that til now

#

omg

ivory gate
#

no pies involved

#

no factors of 12

stray socket
#

Never heard of gradians it just sound like degrees with extra steps

ivory gate
#

gradians are the future

#

so like i was saying

#

you turn it into a triangle

muted ibex
#

true

ivory gate
#

then use gradian angle laws

safe radishBOT
#

@limpid pewter Has your question been resolved?

limpid pewter
ivory gate
#

are you familiar with gradians?

#

the new unit

muted ibex
#

yesyes

ivory gate
#

the better unit

muted ibex
#

the superior unit

limpid pewter
#

nope

ivory gate

#

Someone tell me where to start pls ;-;

tardy mango
#

Solve y<0 and y>0 (note that if the numerator and the denominator are both negative or positive, y is positive, whereas if one is negative and one is positive, y is negative)

reef basin
#

So I firstly factor numerator into linear

#

Then use wavy curve twice

#

Right?

tardy mango
#

Sure, sounds good

reef basin
#

So I get 2 ranges for y

#

Then what ;-;

#

Do I pick the extremes of 2 ranges then add?

tardy mango
#

You take the largest and smallest integral values, respectively

#

As it says

reef basin
#

But then I get P as 18 ;-;

tardy mango
#

,w [(x-19)(x-1)]/(x-11)<0

reef basin
#

Are the options wrong or am I stupid

flat frigateBOT
tardy mango
#

,w [(x-19)(x-1)]/(x-11)>0

flat frigateBOT
tardy mango
#

Q = 2

reef basin
#

Ah fuck yeah

#

I'm stupid

#

I ignored the other + sign on my number line

#

So its 18+2 right

tardy mango
#

Yeah

reef basin
#

Gotcha

#

Thank you so much

#

I appreciate the help

digital sinew
safe radishBOT
nova creek
#

What have you tried

digital sinew
#

Currently I have put in into an equation

#

let me type it out one sec

#

x would be 30%
y would be 11 %
so x +y = 7.6 Liters

#

that would be the first one

#

and the second i am having troubl putting together

static rover
#

Basically you just need to set up a ratio

#

so like if you have 1 liter of 30% solution how many liters of 11% solution would get you to 16%

#

okay I got it

#

so

#

let's say 1 liter of 30% plus x liters of 11% gets you to a 16% average

#

the average of something is just all of the numbers added up multiplied by the number of numbers

#

so we can say 30+11x=16(x+1)

#

we get the x+1 from the number of liters there must be

#

does that make sense

digital sinew
#

yes, but wouldn't the percents be turned to decimals?

#

or no

static rover
#

uh

#

if they're all percent

#

we can just multiply them all by 100 and it's fine

#

both sides are equal

#

once we have 30+11x=16(x+1)

#

we can expand the right side to 16x+16

#

30+11x=16x+16

#

move the x's to one side and the integers to the other

#

30-16=16x-11x

#

14=5x

#

x=14/5

#

2.8 liters

#

uh

#

we can verify this

#

wait is that okay to follow

digital sinew
#

im still a bit lost

nova creek
#
  1. It's better to not do all the work for OP. Give them a chance to do some work themselves

  2. I feel like this exercise distracts from the main problem, since it doesn't actually solve the problem, though I can see how you could use those principles and apply them to the og problem

static rover
#

well I'm finding the number of liters

#

wouldn't that be solving the problem

#

okay what's the equation

nova creek
#

You're assuming there's 1 liter of 30% solution, but that's an unjustified assumption

static rover
#

I'm finding the ratio

#

That's needed to finding the number of liters if it adds up to 7.6

digital sinew
#

So I am pretty sure this is a system of equations?
So we would need to find both equations.

x would be 30%
y would be 11%

first equation would be
x+y=7.6L

Correct?

static rover
#

Right

#

But you're unsure how much y you want compared to x

nova creek
#

I can see what you're doing now. Still, it's better to try and lead OP to that, since at first glance, it does seem like you're solving an unrelated problem

digital sinew
#

I am trying to figure out the next equation and how we find it.

static rover
#

okay so

#

you wanna find the ratio first off

#

that's the key to solving the problem

#

the best way I found to do this was to assume one liter of 30% solution and find how many liters of 11% we'd need to balance this out

#

we can call the number of liters of 11% solution "x"

#

we can change the percentages to decimals sure

#

if we write out the average it becomes 0.3+0.11x=0.16(x+1)

#

x+1 because the number of liters is x plus the 1 liter of 30% solution

#

can you follow that

digital sinew
#

yes

static rover
#

okay

#

if 0.3+0.11x=0.16(x+1)

digital sinew
#

oh i figured it out

static rover
#

oh heyo

digital sinew
#

x+y=7.6
.30+11y=1.216

#

then graphing those the line they point they intersect would be (2,5.6)

#

c:

static rover
#

well alright yeah that's the answer

#

better than me

digital sinew
#

ty for ur help tho c:

static rover
#

lean otter
#

I have the following system G_S(s) which I need to transform into a state space model

lean otter
#

Before trying to transform this system into a state space model, I must convert it into an ODE, am I right? Since $$G_S(s) = \dfrac{Y(s)}{U(s)}$$, I can rewrite the transfer function to $$Y(s)=\dfrac{1}{2s^2+3s+1}U(s)$$ and finally into $$Y(s)*(1+3s+2s^2) = U(s)$$. Applying the inverse Laplace Transformation I get $$2\ddot{y}+3\dot{y}+y=u(t)$$

flat frigateBOT
lean otter
#

But according to the solution provided the ODE should be the following

#

Where the heck do these factors infront of the derivatives come from?

mighty warren
#

Hello am kinda confused on how to solve this problem using evaluation

mighty warren
#

By saying I+F does that mean I have to add the sums of F(x) and I(x) together?

nova creek
#

Yes

#

(I + F)(x) = I(x) + F(x)

mighty warren
#

Ohhhh

#

Ok thanks

#

What does the ° mean?

trim swan
#

That means K(K(a^2))

#

more generally, $(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$

flat frigateBOT
#

tatpoj

mighty warren
#

Whats fog?

#

My teacher didnt teach us that yet

trim swan
#

it's the same circle symbol as in the picture you posted

mighty warren
#

And how do u use it?

trim swan
#

I'm saying $(f \circ g)(x)$ means $f(g(x))$

flat frigateBOT
#

tatpoj

trim swan
#

Plug g(x) into f

#

Or in your case, plug K(a^2) into K

mighty warren
#

Ok

trim swan
#

Does that make sense?

mighty warren
#

Am still a bit confused

trim swan
#

I'll show you an example

#

Let's say $f(x) = x+3$ and $g(x) = x^2$.

Then
$$(f \circ g)(x)$$
$$= f\bigl(g(x)\bigr)$$
$$= f(x^2)$$
$$ = x^2 + 3$$

flat frigateBOT
#

tatpoj

trim swan
#

Sorry I changed it a bit, I think it's clearer this way

mighty warren
#

Oh

#

Ok thanks

trim swan
#

So since yours was K(K(a^2)), you want to plug a^2 into K, and then take what you get and plug that into K again

mighty warren
#

Ok

#

If evaluating what does the / mean?

trim swan
#

Division

mighty warren
#

Ok thanks

mighty warren
#

Is my solution correct?

trim swan
#

,rotate

flat frigateBOT
trim swan
#

This was for (I+F)(-3)?

mighty warren
#

Yes

trim swan
#

looks good to me

#

But you should probably have (I+F)(-3) at least written somewhere in your work

#

if your teacher is picky about that kind of thing

mighty warren

Ok thanks

ruby sky
#

Hi can anyone help me this??

safe radishBOT
ruby sky
#

Here is my work

lean otter
#

Treat the original percent as a variable n

ruby sky
#

20%*x= 100% so x = 500%. We should increase 500% to reach 100% but 500% containt the original vaule in it, we just need to find the percent to reach the original value so we need to subtract it: 500% -100% = 400%

#

Am I wrong??

lean otter
#

Yes

ruby sky
#

I just wanna clear its not 500% but 400%

lean otter
#

so take x - 80% of x as "x-0.8x = 0.2x"

#

so 0.2x times what equals x?

ruby sky
#

Its 5

lean otter
#

And 5 times is how many percent

ruby sky
#

500%

lean otter
#

And there's your answer

ruby sky
#

But the answer is 400%

lean otter
#

What I thought you were saying the answer is A

#

Does the answer key say 400%

ruby sky
#

Yess its say 400%

lean otter
#

You sure thats the right question 400% isn't one of the possible answes

#

Can you show more of the question

ruby sky
#

No the answer is 400% and the correct answer in this problem is D. Other

ruby sky
bold ferry
#

the question is asking how much percent to increase it by.

#

so 500% would be right if it was asking how much of the value it should be

#

here’s how I would think of it intuitively:

#

let’s say x is 100

#

we take 20% of that and it’s 20

lean otter
#

Why do people word questions like this

bold ferry
#

now increase it by a percent of 20

#

and 400% of 20 is ?

#

80

#

so 20 + 80 is 100

#

here’s an equation to represent this:
0.2x + y(0.2x) = x

lean otter
#

I'm sorry (Kihei is very much correct)

bold ferry
#

basically y is the percent you are increasing of 0.2x

bold ferry
ruby sky
#

Can I thought like the 500% is contain the percent should increase and the value of that so we just need find the percent to reach the original vaule so can we do this: 500% - original value

#

In this question i supposed the original price was 100%

#

Can i do like that?

stray socket
#

Well if you think about it

#

You need to increase 0.2 to 1

#

1/(0.2) = 5 = 500%

ruby sky
#

Ok its 500%

bold ferry
#

?

#

isn’t it 400%

#

now I’m confused

ruby sky
#

And here is my equation: 0.2x + y = x

ruby sky
bold ferry
#

so, you get 20% of the original value, x. now we have this new value, let’s call it 0.2x. and now, we need to add a “y” percent OF 0.2x, to finally get x

#

it gets confusing with equations so I can explain it another way if you wish

ruby sky
#

Ok thank you for your help

#

I got this

#

You mean like 0.2x is a new value like the big X. So we can do like this: 0,2x + y* X = x isnt it??

#

Oh ok i got this now

bold ferry
#

but of course, big X = 0.2x

#

it’s just your new value

ruby sky
#

Yeahh thanks for that

#

The question makes me confused

bold ferry
#

no worries

trim jackal
#

Pertaining to?

#

Do you have a proof? How is it an almost exact formula?

#

Natural numbers 1 to 100?

#

Did you do a proof tho or just calculate for 1 to 100?

#

It don’t matter if you don’t do a proof showing it works for all natural numbers

foggy salmon
#

lol

#

1 to 100

#

is not a lot

trim jackal
#

Yeah exactly. You can write a computer program to calculate it for 1 to 100 in a matter of seconds

foggy salmon
#

i mean even if u get 10^20 its a lot n u can make an educated guess itll continue but still u cant generalise

trim jackal
#

I’m just taking an intro proof class now so I can’t tell you how to write a proof for it precisely, but I know showing 1 to 100 is not enough to mean anything

foggy salmon
#

but to answer ur original Q

#

idk what u can do with a formula that can approximate how many prime numbers there are but its probably quite useful

maiden barn
#

I need to prove that:

2^2025 | (6^2022) - (2^2022)

maiden barn
#

I thought I could do it by factoring out: 2^2025 = 2^2022 * 2^3

#

Then saying: (6^2022) - (2^2022) = ((2*3)^2022) - (2^2022)

#

= 2^2022 * 3^2022 - 2^2022

#

= 2^2022 (3^2022 - 1)

maiden barn
#

I thought of something like saying: 3^2022 = (3^1011)^2

maiden barn
#

Then I was thinking, well

#

3^1011 - 1 = 2k
3^1011 + 1 = 2l

But we can observe that 2l = 2k+2

#

Therefore, (3^1011 - 1)(3^1011 + 1) equals: 2k * (2k+2) = 4k^2 + 4k = 4k(k + 1)

#

Oh

#

Wait

#

Can we say it like this:

#

4k^2 + 4k = 4(k^2 + k)

#

If k is even, then (k^2 mod 2) = 0 and (k mod 2) = 0, therefore k^2 + k has a factor of two, therefore that's divisible by 8

#

If k is odd, then 4(k^2 + k) = 4(k(k+1)) has a factor of two, since k+1 is even if k is odd?

#

Did I just solve it 😳

worthy mango
#

err

#

ok i see how to solve this

maiden barn
#

Can you just

#

Check my sol

I want to see if my thinking is right

#

I can find a solution to this generally in no time

worthy mango
#

your sol is longer than i think it needs to be

maiden barn
#

That's fine, but can you tell me whether this logic applies XD

quasi bison
#

your solution is fine, just wordy

maiden barn
#

Can we claim the following:

#

3^(even number) - 1 is always divisible by 8

#

Because

worthy mango
#

my advice in general would eb to consider 3^n -1
for small n and see if you notice a pattern which you can then prove

maiden barn
#

(3^2)^k = 9^k - 1

worthy mango
#

ye like that

maiden barn
#

But I am not so sure in my knowledge of modular arithmetics

#

I have considered that

#

But idk what's the law for it

quasi bison
#

wdym by law

maiden barn
#

Does the modulo still stay after exponentiation?

maiden barn
#

of modular arithmetics

quasi bison
#

you can \textbf{prove} that if $a \equiv b \pmod{n}$ then $a^k \equiv b^k \pmod{n}$ for all $a, b, n, k \in \bZ$ with $k \geq 0$

worthy mango
#

by binomial theorem
after you expand (8+1)^k
all terms will have a factor of 8 apart from the term equal to 1

flat frigateBOT
worthy mango
#

if 3^n - 1 = 8k
3^{2n} - 1 = 9(8k +1) - 1
=72k + 8

maiden barn
#

Right?

#

since 1^k is simply 1

#

Then (3^2)^k mod 8 = 1

worthy mango
#

yup

maiden barn
#

Do I need to prove this

#

on competition

#

or just state it

quasi bison
#

that is better addressed to whoever is organizing your competition

maiden barn
#

So this is not some form of well known law?

worthy mango
#

it is well-known

maiden barn
worthy mango
#

i mean this exponentiation rule
it follows immediately from the fact that if
a=b mod k
and
c=d mod k
then
ac =bd mod k

#

just repeated multiplication

maiden barn
#

Hmmm I see

#

Thanks for the help!

a^3 + b^3

tepid stone
#

i tried

lean otter
#

show

tepid stone
#

just a sec

#

little messy it is

#

i reached the answer with a^3+b^3 problem is that -1

lean otter
#

consider cos^4A = (1-sin^2A)^2

tepid stone
#

ah its is cos^6A

#

well the correct ans. is -3sin^2Acos^2A

#

do you think -1 in the ques. is a printing mistake?

#

@lean otter

#

bcoz when there is no -1 the ans. is exactly -3sin^2Acos^2A

#

@lean otter u there?

thin bridge
#

there is no mistake in the question

tepid stone
#

okey

#

then how do i get to the ans. ??

thin bridge
#

consider sum of two cubes

tepid stone
#

can u just solve it for me bcoz i am getiing stuck again

#

??

thin bridge
#

did you apply the factorisation for the sum of two cubes?

thin bridge
#

what do you have after that

idle sage
tepid stone
#

thats the ques

idle sage
#

is it a proving qn?

tepid stone
#

no

#

u gotta simplify it

idle sage
#

oh icic I saw an = sign there HAHA so I thought it was a proving qn

tepid stone
#

no

idle sage
#

any specific form u need to simplify it to?

tepid stone
#

well i just told u the correct ans i just want to know how to get there

tepid stone
thin bridge
#

yah
what do you have after that

idle sage
#

OH im blind

#

um

idle sage
tepid stone
tepid stone
thin bridge
#

don't forget about the - 1 s

#

(sin^2A)^3+(cos^2A)^3 -1 = (sin^2A+cos^2A)((sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2-sin^2cos^2a) - 1

#

note that (sin^2A+cos^2A) could be simplified immediately

tepid stone
#

do we cancel the -1s

#

?

thin bridge
#

no

#

there are no 1s to cancel

#

ideally the -1s there because you're starting with a -1 in the original expression

idle sage
#

oki

tepid stone
#

okay if we donot cancel the -1 s we get (sin^2A)^3+(cos^2A)^3 -1 = (1)((sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2-sin^2cos^2a) - 1

idle sage
#

I THINK idk?

#

is this right?

tepid stone
idle sage
#

darnn is my method wrong

tepid stone
#

but i cannot say wether the steps are correct

idle sage
#

I tried 🕊

thin bridge
#

and then consider what (sin^2(A) + cos^2(A))^2 expands out to
and compare that to ((sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2-sin^2cos^2a)

tepid stone
#

(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2= (sin^2A+cos^2A)^2-2sin^2Acos^2A

#

(sin^2A+cos^2A)^2-2sin^2Acos^2A=(1)-2sin^2Acos^2A

empty phoenix
thin bridge
#

(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2= (sin^2A+cos^2A)^2-2sin^2Acos^2A
hence the stuff inside your parentheses
(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2 - sin^2(A)cos^2(A) = ?

idle sage
#

I am so confused 😭

tepid stone
idle sage
#

but the way we get to the ans needs to be right tho

empty phoenix
thin bridge
#

no, multiple wrongs don't make a right

tepid stone
#

bcoz when theres no -1 in the ques it gives -3sin^2Acos^2A-1

idle sage
#

but the 1s cancel out no?

tepid stone
#

yah

idle sage
#

except it’s all zzzzzzz

thin bridge
#

multiple wrongs don't make a right, there were multiple things very wrong in that work

idle sage
#

bec it’s midnight

thin bridge
#

(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2= (sin^2A+cos^2A)^2-2sin^2Acos^2A
hence the stuff inside your parentheses
(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2 - sin^2(A)cos^2(A) = ?

#

all the best

idle sage
#

ty!

#

going to need it

tepid stone
#

which grade u in ?

thin bridge
#

actually i suppose it was just one unnecesary line that was wrong

idle sage
#

oh I’m 17 idk what grade

thin bridge
#

misread some of yuor handwriting earlier

idle sage
thin bridge
tepid stone
#

we cannot write it like that

idle sage
#

oo why

thin bridge
#

freshmans dream

idle sage
#

HAHA how do we write it

tepid stone
#

we have to write it as (sin^2A)^3+(cos^2A)^3

thin bridge
#

you just erase that line, it was completely wrong/unnecessary

tepid stone
#

since theres a diff b/w

idle sage
#

ohhhh

tepid stone
#

(a+b)^3

idle sage
#

so I just cancel that line off

tepid stone
#

and a^3+b^3

thin bridge
#

apart from that mishap, that approach works

tepid stone
#

yah

thin bridge
#

as does the one i'm guiding you towards

#

(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2= (sin^2A+cos^2A)^2-2sin^2Acos^2A
hence the stuff inside your parentheses
(sin^2A)^2+(cos^2A)^2 - sin^2(A)cos^2(A) = ?

idle sage
#

OHHH

#

Wait

#

omg

#

why’d I write that

thin bridge
#

(building on the equation above)

idle sage
#

omg HAHA

#

ty!

tepid stone
#

so what is

#

wait a sec more im sending what i did

#

Now what

#

?

#

@thin bridge

idle sage
#

wait why so

tepid stone
#

oh wait

thin bridge
#

wtf...

tepid stone
#

got it

thin bridge
#

sin^2(A)+cos^2(A) simplifies to 1

idle sage
#

wooooo

thin bridge
#

why did you do some weird crap to it,
and top of that committed some parenthesins

tepid stone
#

Now it has to be correct

thin bridge
#

not quite

#

bad notation

idle sage
#

HAHAH

#

wait are they picky on that

thin bridge
#

the original -1 wasn't present throughout the work

idle sage
#

oh that

tepid stone
#

im so confused

thin bridge
#

1 - 3sin^2(A)cos^2(A) isn't the same as -3sin^2(A)cos^2(A)

tepid stone
thin bridge
#

because i wanted to see you put in the effort first

#

instead giving the solution away

#

now that you have most of it, i'll give you decent formatting

tepid stone
#

ok

thin bridge
#

$\sin^6(A) + \cos^6(A) - 1 = (\sin^2(A) + \cos^2(A))((\sin^2(A))^2 + (\cos^2(A))^2 - \sin^2(A)\cos^2(A)) - 1\
= (\sin^2(A) + \cos^2(A))^2 - 2\sin^2(A)\cos^2(A) - \sin^2(A)\cos^2(A)) - 1 \
=1 - 3\sin^2(A)\cos^2(A) - 1 \
=- 3\sin^2(A)\cos^2(A)$

“The sides of a right - angled triangle are x cm, (× + 7) cm and (x + 8) cm. Find
the lengths of the sides.” How am I supposed to know which length goes onto the the height, base and Hypotenuse?

upbeat galleon
#

Hi

lunar lagoon
#

Hello

upbeat galleon
#

There is an equation for all triangles

steep dove
#

hypotenuse is the largest side

#

wihch one of those expressions is largest

upbeat galleon
#

Basically

#

Which is x-y<z<x+y

#

You can find it by this

lunar lagoon
#

Oh so x+8 would be the hypotenuse. What about the other 2 angles then? Does it not matter where I put x and x+7?

upbeat galleon
#

It doesn't

#

It will be a right angled triangle anyways

lunar lagoon
#

Oh ok thanks for the help

upbeat galleon
#

Because the sides will match anyways the theorem of pifagor as it's given the triangle is right angled

#

You are welcome

vast obsidian
#

Nope

#

What have you tried?

lunar lagoon
#

This is what I did(my handwriting ain’t the greatest srry)

#

Did I need to send the x over in the second step since (x+7) is in a bracket

vast obsidian
#

sqrt(a^2+b^2) is Not a+b

lunar lagoon
#

Wdym? For which step

vast obsidian
#

1st to 2nd

lunar lagoon
#

What else would it be tho. Wouldn’t the sqrt cancel out the ^2?

#

Like doing sqrt2^2 keep it as the number 2

vast obsidian
#

If we square sqrt(a^2+b^2) what do you get?

lunar lagoon
#

Would just get would you get a^2 + b^2?

#

But I didn’t do that here for this question. Since the squares was outside the bracket

vast obsidian
#

If we square a+b what do you get then?

lunar lagoon
#

A^2 +b^2?

vast obsidian
#

Listen to this song and you'll remember it

lunar lagoon
#

Oh ok I kinda understand now

#

So I assuming after expanding those brackets. I move the square root over to make (x+8) into (x+8)^2

#

I mean this

vast obsidian
#

My point is if
sqrt(a^2+b^2) = a+b then
a^2+b^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
0= 2ab, which is not true for all pairs a,b

#

So your 2nd step is wrong

lunar lagoon
#

So is this correct?

vast obsidian
#

,rotate

flat frigateBOT
lunar lagoon
#

Aka does x=5 cm?

vast obsidian
#

I've no idea what you did, but

  1. x1= -3 as it is (x+3) in the brackets
  2. These are the two correct solutions
  3. Yes, it is 5
lunar lagoon
#

Ok of thanks(so that it’s illegible) I understand what I did wrong I

Can someone help me comprehend 2 things?

What are ordinary differential equations and where did they spawn from?

What are we exactly finding from these?
I am so used to calculus 3 material where we investigate rate of changes and back and forth where the concept of ODE and PDE confuse me a lot

stable osprey
#

Also in addition, How did E^(-x^2) + E^C go to

Ce^(-x^2)

#

Since they have different powers we cant add them together can we?

#

Im missing some stupid info for context in this subject

#

(im checking my curriculum which checks Z transforms and bernoulli and the likes, and im so lost from calculus 3, what the hell are these about xD)

lean otter
#

Split the powers

#

E^c is jist another constant

stable osprey
#

Know what you are right, i dont know why that confused me

#

Probably cause i keep remembering i cant do
X^2 + X

lean otter
#

understandable

safe radishBOT
#

@stable osprey Has your question been resolved?

stable osprey
#

One further question

#

Here why do we only get c2 as our second constant?

#

i mean why is it inside that parenthesis, it should be directly outside since we add C2 to the integral total of both xe^x and -e^x and c1

#

so i guess mentally it makes more sense to write

xe^x - e^x - e^x + c1x + c2

lean otter
#

well solve the second integral by doing each term

#

When you do each term and write everything in order you get
$$xe^x-e^x+c_2-\int{e^xdx}+\int{c_1dx}$$

flat frigateBOT
lean otter
#

Then integrate the other 2 and you get what he has

#

in that exact order

#

@stable osprey

stable osprey
#

No thats not my issue

#

my issue is not how we integrate (i see why we do that and so on)

#

also wait

#

isnt C2 also a term produced by the other 2 integrals?

#

or do we get 3 types of constants then

#

to my recollection we just get 1 constant per integration

#

so the constant would end up after all 3 integrations

#

C2 wouldnt come inside a defined integration per example, but rather after all 3 integrations in an area are calculated for

lean otter
#

oh i see

#

Well your doing 3 integrals and get 3 constants which combine into one, which would be called c2 since c1 is stuck with x

#

Where he has it in the video is arbitrary, you can put the terms anywhere as long as you understand the simplification on that part

stable osprey
#

Yea that much i understand great

#

it doesnt matter if its 3 constants, cause its still a constant in the end of the day

#

different from the constant of a later integration ofcourse

#

Anywho, can you explain to me what exactly are then differential equations all about?

#

I get how to solve them (also in the process of studying how to solve them atm)

#

but i dont get what they are about

#

To rephrase clearly, after finishing calc 4 and constantly flipping between solving rates and partial derivatives i am kinda used to that

#

so now just seeing equations with derivatives stuck on to them seems confusing and out of place

#

its like seeing the Graph equation of a circle without ever knowing its merely just the Pythagorean theorem

#

Also in addition to that

Whats up with these people just moving around the "dx" and "dy" of the operator, it makes no sense

#

Dy/Dx is an operator as a whole

lean otter
#

Think of dx as a term like x^2

#

And dy

stable osprey
#

Yea i get that, its similar to partial derivatives and derivatives

#

and how we were taught "treat it as a function even though its not"

#

"cause at the end of the day you get the same result"

#

it has gotten at a stage it boggles my mind though now

stable osprey
#

Ah sorry mistranslation

#

treat it as a fraction*

lean otter
#

oh i ser

stable osprey
#

Yea like i get to some degree we do that to simplify the logic of it

#

but at the same time it makes no sense

#

its without context

lean otter
#

wait so your stuck on what a differential IS or why we can move them and work with the terms like that

#

intuition vs math

stable osprey
#

no i am asking why its defined as an operator, but people keep treating it as a fraction

#

Its hard definition is "the derivative of Y in respect to X'

#

which makes sense

#

But if you move "in respect to x" what is that even anymore

#

its just
"The derivate of y (unknown respect anymore)"

lean otter
#

Oh i see

#

well the derative of y with respect to x becomes, (after the operation), the derivative of y over the derivative of x.

The whole reason we flip the meaning like that is because in differentials we dont know the expresion for dx, like if i gave you

dy/dx * y^2 = x+x^3

The dy and dx here are just placeholders for the actual equations of each

#

We keep it in this notation because it makes more sense when we integrate the function later

stable osprey
#

So

Dy y^2 = x+x^3 dx

means "the derivative of y over the derivative of x"

#

what does that describe? what does "over the derivative" of something mean?

#

i get its placeholder we use to integrate later on

#

but i also find a gap in between these 2 steps

lean otter
#

over the is just describing the fraction form, because in reality the derivatives are

$$\frac{\frac{d}{dy}}{\frac{d}{dx}}$$

flat frigateBOT
lean otter
#

Actually the dy and dx should be swapped

#

Derivative of y over derivative of x

stable osprey
#

hmm

#

i get it, but i also still dont get why we can just use 'dx' like that without the integration (which denotes the integration respect later on)

#

its like i get the steps but not the meaning still

#

$$x^2{dx}$$

Per example this means nothing without the integration

flat frigateBOT
#

Neroid

lean otter
#

'means' as in what? Because that is just derivative of x times x^2, (maybe think of a literal rate of change of x in an applied situation)

stable osprey
#

But thats not the derivative of it

#

The derivative is denoted as D/Dx

#

what does "dx" alone stand for

#

x^2 "in respect to x" is the only thing i can understand it as

#

which makes sense word wise but not math wise

lean otter
#

dx alone is the differential which is a infinitesimal small change in x

stable osprey
#

oh

#

So in respect to X when moved to the other side is merely the change of dx in our domain/area

lean otter
#

ye

stable osprey
#

still confusing but atleast i get that they are equivalent when multiplied and simplified from both sides

lean otter
#

it is that in all times actually, my explanation earlier about it being called the derivative with respect and what not was wrong

#

like dy/dx always symbolizes that tiny change

#

one is for y one is for x

stable osprey
#

ooooooooooh, now that makes more sense

#

due to M being the rate of change as well

#

And that is dy over dx

#

so the derivative as a rate of change comes together more nicely

#

cause the derivative is our rate of change for our slope

#

okay now that comes better in mind when compared mentally with geometry and calc

lean otter
stable osprey
#

Okay one last question

#

i think i got most of what i needed to get out of my mental block

#

What are the differences between a general and a partial solution for derivative equations?

#

i dont exactly get the difference or why we get a general solution from combining 2 partial solutions

#

while some videos online while explaining these call "general solutions" the "partial solutions" without the need for combining any second equation

#

it again seems like some step or explanation is skipped between those 2

#

This is in greek per example, but one on the left denotes "Partial solution"
The other denotes "General Solution"

lean otter
#

partial meaning one of the possible solutions in this context

#

With the C you account for every possible function which when derived gives you y'(t)

stable osprey
#

Is partial solution the same as a particular solution?

#

cause in our university that hasnt been referenced even once
as a terminology i mean

lean otter
#

Partial is also used when differentiating 2 or more variable, because something like xyz has 3 changing variables, but it is also true to treat y and z as constants (since they are variables they could also act as constants when 'they' wish) and only derive x. This ofcourse only accounts for very few possibilities

#

Oh particular is specific to some case

stable osprey
#

Yea but partial derivatives i can get, cause we assume 1 of the variables as constant

lean otter
#

Like in that example treating y and z as some known constant would give you a particular solution

stable osprey
#

Partial solutions to single variable derivatives i cant - doesnt make sense

#

cause at the end of the day so far up to calc 4 we always get a specific integration solution

#

its always plus some constant

#

why do we suddenly do C*e^X

lean otter
#

so like

#

When deriving x^x without some natural log business we cannot derive unless we treat one of the x's as constant

stable osprey
#

ln|X^X| which equals pretty much xln|x| anywho yea

lean otter
#

if we treat the exponent as a constant and then the base as a constant we surpisingly get 2 halves of the actual derivative, when you combine them you have the actual derivative

#

each half solution is then called partial

#

and full is the general sol

stable osprey
#

Is the partial given usually?

#

when requested to solve these kind of equations i mean

#

Im asking cause our textbooks tend to be without a lot of context

#

so if you notice here i dont get why 1 is explained as

y = C e ^x

#

and then he goes and divides to get 1

#

(which makes sense to split y and x variables into both sides of the equation)

lean otter
#

because the top solution is only one of the ways of solving y'-y=0, i think the textbook is just showcasing methods but im not sure without looking at the rest of the image

#

Nothing is assumed here

stable osprey
#

the full page after the first is like this

#

While the previous says "solution by integration"

#

I guess this makes more sense if you assume he always has Dy/Dt = e^-t

#

but he does a poor job conveying that, anywho i guess ill go with that in mind

#

Thank you a lot for all the explanations Allham

lean otter

how do you cube fractions

safe radishBOT
lean otter
#

if I want to cube 5 / 3

#

how would i go about it

fallen grotto
#

Distribute the exponent to the numerator and denominator

lean otter
#

so 125 / 9

fallen grotto
#

yea

lean otter
#

5 / 3 = 1.66666

fallen grotto
#

125/27

#

sorry

lean otter
#

ah

#

yes

#

that's my mistake

#

my bad

hazy fulcrum
#

This is the fifth time I'm putting this problem here. Don't ban me please if it comes up as spam.

Basically I did some code utilizing the 4 basic operators and the 4 numbers (at the branches) in the 3rd figure. Randomly mashing them until it hits one of the choices given. What I got was only a.) 60. Using this rule (15*2)(6-4) the computer gave.

But it doesn't seem to align to the other figures. So I think using only, + - / * is out of the picture (Maybe that helps?). That's all I got.

Help.

steep dove
#

there's an interesting way of doing this...

#

assume that the relationship between the 4 numbers in the corner determines the middle number, and that relationship is linear

flat frigateBOT
steep dove
#

then you can chuck this into a matrix as follows

flat frigateBOT
steep dove
#

RREF'ing that yields

#

,w RREF({9,2,4,3,32},{8,1,2,4,15},{15,2,4,6,C})

steep dove
#

we want this to probably be an integer

flat frigateBOT
steep dove
#

so now we know our number must have a remainder of 2 mod 9

steep dove
#

these kinds of problems are really stupid imo because there are so many ways to define a relationship

#

but this problem is super interesting as using this method pins down one and only one solution (as unlikely as that may seem)

toxic stratus
#

theres no way the intended solution looks something like 19a + b - 15c - 27d

#

thats just absurd

lean otter
#

yea

steep dove
toxic stratus
#

you are right about that too i guess

opaque sorrel
#

hi, how can i prove that every matrix has a unique reduced row-echelon form?

opaque sorrel
#

@feral linden

feral linden
#

The process itself is a constructive proof I think

opaque sorrel
#

hmm

#

sorry kinda forgot whats that

#

i quite rarely use constructive proofs lol

#

does it begin with "let x be ..."

feral linden
#

No I mean

#

The process of how to construct a reduced row-echelon form

#

Itself

#

Is a proof

opaque sorrel
#

OH

#

okay that makes sense

#

oh yeah actually it does

#

does the same go for REF?

feral linden
#

Like Euclidean algorithm

opaque sorrel
#

righty

#

thank u

worthy vault

Answer says B=81 but I got 1/72

safe radishBOT
worthy vault
#

How is it 81?

idle parrot
#

,w partial fraction (x^2+1)/((x-9)(x-8)^2)

idle parrot
#

Might have to check again

worthy vault
#

idk why i cnat get 81 😭

#

-81

idle parrot
#

The equation you’ve written is not correct

#

It should be

#

$1= A(-8)^2 + B(-9)(-8) + C(-9)$

flat frigateBOT
idle parrot
#

Get it?

worthy vault
#

no where'd the x's go?

idle parrot
#

We’ve put x=0

idle parrot
worthy vault
#

oh frick

#

i get it now

#

i missed that, ty

idle parrot
#

,w 1= 82*64 + B(-9)(-8) + (-65)(-9)

lean otter

I'm having some difficulty finding the distinction between n^2 and 2^n in the context of big o complexity.

One example of 2^n that I see a lot is brute forcing a password, but isn't that just going to be n amount of for loops corresponding to how many numbers in the password?

fiery merlin
#

You can't do separate loops for each character.

#

The closest is nested loops.

#

Let's say the password is in digits.

#

If it's a one character password, you have 10 choices.

lean otter
#

wouldn't what i posted work for a password of length 2

#

like 17

fiery merlin
#

Yes, that'll do two digit passwords.

#

No, it's 100.

#

10².

#

With three digits, what would it be?

lean otter
#

10^3

fiery merlin
#

Right, so the thing that changes based on length is the exponent.

lean otter
#

Right so all we do is add a new for loop for every new position in the combination

#

But that isn't 2^n

#

I'm not seeing how brute forcing is 2^n rather than just the nested for loop n^x thing weJust did

fiery merlin
#

It's 10ⁿ, which is (2ᵖ)ⁿ where p is the power of 2 that becomes 10.

#

Need to think for a moment.

lean otter
#

I thought N referred to the size of the input

#

so if it's 10 digits per slot, N = 10

fiery merlin
#

No, the size here is the length of the password.

#

So, if it's a 5 digit password, n = 5.

lean otter
#

Are you sure?

A linear search where we just take in a list of 10 things and loop over it is N = 10.

If we loop over it twice, not nested but consecutive, that's 2N.

If we nest loop, its N*N

#

this makes me think N refers to the size of the list

#

rather than the amount of combinations we lookFor

fiery merlin
#

You can't get a password letter by letter.

#

It's not like it'll tell you when you have one of the letters correct.

#

It only tells you when you have the entire password.

#

So, you have to try all passwords, which is 10ⁿ.

lean otter
#

which is why two consecutive loops (2N) would not work.

But a a nested loop would work for that

fiery merlin
#

Yes, and that's O(10ⁿ) work.

#

There are two different ns there.

#

N is the number of possibilities for each character.

#

n is the length of the password.

lean otter
#

oh i didn't realize big on notation has different Ns

fiery merlin
#

No, you have different ns.

#

You brought up N.

#

Big O doesn't care about which letters you use.

lean otter
#

to me N = the input list you're iterating over, regardless of how many times you need to iterate over it

fiery merlin
#

What problem are you solving?

lean otter
#

Just trying to build an intuition for how n^somenumber is different than 2^n

#

In a algorithms' class and studying

fiery merlin
#

Well, O(n²) isn't a function. It's a set of functions.

#

Any function that, when n² is multiplied by a constant, with a high enough n is at least as large as the absolute value of the function.

#

So, like 3n² + n is in O(n²).

#

Because you can multiply n² by 4 and it will eventually stay larger than |3n² + n|.

#

Similarly, n is in O(n²), because when you multiply n² by 1, it eventually gets and stays larger than |n|.

#

Does that make sense?

lean otter
#

but 3n^2 is worse than n^2

#

so why wouldnt we want to include that

fiery merlin
#

Those are the same thing.

#

Oh, OK.

lean otter
#

my bad

fiery merlin
#

Big O is intended to not care about constant factors (constants you multiply the function by).

#

This is because the algorithm might take 100 steps to do one inner loop iteration.

#

We don't care that it's worse than one that takes 50 steps.

#

Because if you have 100n vs 50n², the n² one is going to be worse after a while.

#

The idea is to get the general idea of how fast the function grows.

lean otter
#

gotcha

fiery merlin
#

You also won't necessarily know how many processor cycles an iteration can take, so you can ignore that.

#

As long as it has a maximum number of cycles per iteration.

#

That has the downside that sometimes those constant factors matter and make an O(n²) algorithm better than O(n) for small inputs.

#

Because maybe the constant on the n² is really small and on n is really big.

#

But we're just focusing on the way it increases, basically.

#

O(2ⁿ) includes all the functions in O(n²) and more.

#

That's because you can multiply 2ⁿ by 1 and it'll eventually become and stay larger than |10000000n²| or whatever function in O(n²) you try it with.

#

Does that make sense?
