how important is sleep
so like i dont wanna go crazy researching this myself idk why im asking here lol but y not
how necessary is it really
like how accurate are the guidelines from sleep medicine foundation or whatever and how much sleep do people actually need
its a confusing topic because its very individualized but how does one find
a good amount of sleep
is maths related to sleep ?
idk

definitely not ;-;
its a math server tho
XD
It means you should ask math related questions
true 😭😭
but im losing sleep and im already paranoid that i wont remember what ill learn tmmrw if i dont sleep but at the same time i gotta miss sleep ugh
its a mathematical dilemma cuz then thereforee

Literally just found 3 articles
We tend to think of sleep as a time when the mind and body shut down. But this is not the case; sleep is an active period in which a lot of important processing, restoration, and strengthening occurs. Exactly how this happens and why our bodies are programmed for such a long period of slumber is still somewhat of a mystery. But scientists do und...
Sleep is critical to all aspects of health. But how does it work? Learn what happens to your body when you sleep, why sleep is important, and more.
lmfao
It's not hard to google
yess but how reliable is it
maybe the better question i should be asking is how to do proper research
you think we are more reliable than articles ?
its a rabbit hole when i google things

Sleep deficiency can interfere with work, school, driving, and social functioning. You might have trouble learning, focusing, and reacting. Also, you might find it hard to judge other people's emotions and reactions. Sleep deficiency also can make you feel frustrated, cranky, or worried in social situations.
Sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.
yesyes
but what are the differences in amount of sleep specifically
o ya i should do that

Can we write -4cos^3 as -4^1/3cos

?
your expression lacks 
What is that symbol
parenthesis
Oh ok
dirty mind

Lel
rewrite it, i cant understand it
No
i cant read ahaha

$\cos^3 (x) = (\cos(x))^3$
Herels
YES SOMETUING LIKE THIS
3_n
YES THIS ONE
uwot
which one
cuz this one is wrong af
yes it is
How
it doesn't follow the property of cos at all
a number multiplied by itself 3 times gives 4 is 4^1/3
yes and ?
it's more of like RHS^3=LHS
wdym ?
$(-4^{\frac{1}{3}} \cos(Q))^3 = -4\cos^3 (Q)$
Herels
pls no
the one I sent is true
I dont see the problem
that's not a problem ahah
PLEASE JUST SOLVE THIS FORGET MY PREVIOUS QUESTION
I i can easily solve this useing pythogaras
But the cube
AAAAAAAAAAAA
why should we solve it 🤔
Ok
you need to do this for today or what
you can factor by cosα first
How
pyth? hmm you can try constructing a right angled triangle with property sin alpha = 1/2
Since alpha is acute you will end up with something like this
since im tired, ill do it asap
$\cos(\alpha) (1-4\cos^2 (\alpha)) = \sqrt{1-\sin^2 (\alpha)} (1-4+4\sin^2 (\alpha))$
Herels
^ this works too
$(\cos(\alpha) - 4\cos^3 (\alpha)) = (-3+4\sin^2 (\alpha))\sqrt{1-\sin^2 (\alpha)}$

Can anyone please show me how to find this
Have you learnt/tried L'Hopital rule?
Do you know what x/sin(x) at limit close to 0
tried l'hopital, doesnt work because I can't get rid of either sin(1/x) or cos(1/x)
do you mean I should try l'hopital on just (x^2)/sin x first?
you can try using squeeze theorem,
|sin| <= 1
x^2|sin| <= x^2
then do
how do I solve 0 * lim{x->0} sin(1/x) ?
ah, nvm, its just 0 * {0 < sin(1/x) < 1} right?
so 0
thank you very much
but can you please show me more of the alternative way with squeeze?
never mind, I got it!
thank you again

Can someone please explain the wording of this question to me?
I have some questions to ask about it.
The first question is what value am suppose to use for solving it. Is it the 1203 alumni or 510 scores?
If your answer is 1203 alumni, please explain why?
Also, if the question were to be altered a little to say exactly 4 people had that grade, how will i go about it?
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
I believe it would be 1202 alumni because the person who got 510 would be included in the 1203 meaning you would have to subtract him leaving you with 1202 scoring higher than 510
subtract 4 from 1203
no
what did you end up with?
902
explain
are you familiar with quartile.
not really
the median is have of the population
602
oh
wait
I may or may not have misread the problem
the first quartile is median of 601
301
hence above 301 is 1203-301=902
i dont really understand it.

Hello
One question
When I have a fraction do I use >=0 or =/ if something is under the square root?
Anyone? 
@rugged hearth Has your question been resolved?
Yep
x^2 >= 0 for all x
Is this what you're asking about?
if a/b = 0, then a = 0
(also you need to make sure that b is nonzero)
So, in this case,
Find values of x for which 4 + 4x - 3x^2 = 0 and sqrt(2x + 4) isn't 0
Do I need to write that 2x+4 is not equal to zero or equal to >=0 and why?
2x + 4 =/= 0
But why tho if I have log why not >=?
You don't want it to be 0
I know it can't be zero but when I look at youtube the guy is doing it with >=0 because of log
Is he doing the same question?
Yeah
If u had log from smth would you do it with >= no matter if its the bottom part?
You don't need log though
Just >?
You just need 2x + 4 to be positive so that sqrt(2x + 4) exists
I see
But usually if sqrt(x) exists, then x >= 0
In this case we don't want sqrt(x) to be 0, so x > 0

I have do find D(f) of
$$\left(\frac{x}{x+1}\right)^{\tan(x)}$$
marejak023
Rewrite it as e^(tan(x)ln(x/(x + 1)))
done
Now just apply product rule
whats that?

I somewhat figured out the formula to the first part of this question and I understand the thinking behind Simple Induction, but I don't get how a binary string with length zero can exist?
If f(0) = 1, that'd imply there's a binary palindrome of length 2*0 no? How does that work?
<@&286206848099549185>
Ohh, ah.

do i solve for w?
what is something that you know is constant throughout?
the time?
A hint would be the fact that he went down the same path
Not necessarily since he could've been going faster downhill
w = (y-z) * x
He took the same path
that means the distance travelled up and down was the same
and you know how fast and how long it took to go up and down
x amount of time at y speed
so xy gives you the distance travelled uphill
what would give you the distance travelled downhill?
zw
yeah it's correct now
yes but you know that the distance up and down the hill is the same
there is no variable for distance
and xy is the distance uphill and zw the distance downhill
yeah
thank you

This is a really dumb question lol
p is an integer
so a=p and b=0 works
probably whoever wrote this just missed that
yeah
not the solution they had in mind but
ig you could challenge yourself and say non-zero a,b
nah
it's probably not really possible in this case
that part of the problem was designed with the other harder solution in mind
Trying to prove you can't now

Consider the following argument:
I will buy a car or take a vacation.
I will buy a car.
Therefore, I will not take a vacation.
(a) Write the argument in symbolic form, (b) State the name of this form of argument, (c) Is the
argument valid or invalid?
hi what have you got so far?
okay so have y'all gone over an exclusive or yet?
Nope
so this is an example of an exclusive or
it basically means "one or the other, but not both"
an inclusive or means "or or the other, both is okay"
oH
For example:
"At the concert, I will get a coke or a hotdog". In this case, you can get a coke, a hotdog, or even both. This is an inclusive OR.
"Turn right or turn left up the road". You can turn right or turn left, but you can' t do both. This is an exclusive OR
well they're separate statements
oh
Let $P$ be "I will buy a car" and $Q$ be "I will take a vacation"
MellowDramaLlama
The symbol for exclusive or is $\oplus$
MellowDramaLlama
So the symbolic statement would be $P \oplus Q$
MellowDramaLlama
There are other symbols for exclusive or but this is the one I'm familiar with
I see
Do you know how to do truth tables?
yes
okay so this truth table will be this:
-----------------
| P | Q | P ⊕ Q |
|---|---|-------|
| T | T | F |
|---|---|-------|
| T | F | T |
|---|---|-------|
| F | T | T |
|---|---|-------|
| F | F | F |
-----------------
sorry that took a second to draw lol
notice that it's the negation of "If and only if" 🙂
?
Yes I do
so those are inverse of one another
so
This covers part (a)
really
This covers part (b)
All they wanted was a truth table?
no not the truth table
I was just showing the truth table to show you what the rules were
for XOR yes
oh
well then I think I made this too complicated. The teacher probably only wants you to play with OR then
it's a weird question though because exclusive or exists
anyways
then I think how to approach this is this
I will buy a car or take a vacation.
I will buy a car.
Therefore, I will not take a vacation.
Let P = "I will buy a car" and Q = "I will take a vacation".
Symbolically this is P V Q
so that's (a) and (b)
then to answer (c), the statement "Therefore, I will not take a vacation." would be invalid because with or you can do both (this is the inclusive part I was talking about)
so ignoring all the above with the exclusive or
and only working with the OR you've probably learned about so far in class, then the statement above is not correct
make sense?
Absoulety
do you have time to help me with one more?
or do I have to create a ticket?
I have to run soon. so I reccomend closing this out and reopening with your other question 🙂
Thank you regardless you explained it perfectly
how do i close ?

How many distinct 3-letter words can one make out of the letters in the word PARABOLA? Each letter may be used as many times as it appears in PARABOLA, and any 3-letter combination is a word—for example, AOA is a word.
is my solution correct?
We can use complementary counting. There are a total of 8^3 distinct words we can make. But this overcounts, because some letters were used more times than they appear in the word PARABOLA.
We can do casework for each letter and count how many incorrect words are there for that letter:
P: P appears once, so when it appears twice there are 3C2 * 7 words, and when it appears three times there is 1 way. Thus a total of 21+1 words.
A: A appears three times, and we are making three letter words, so there are no incorrect words with too many A’s.
R: P appears once in PARABOLA, so it also has 22 incorrect words.
B: B has 22 incorrect words as well.
O: O has 22 incorrect words as well.
L: Lastly, L has 22 incorrect words.
In total we have 22+22+22+22+22=110 three letter words that don’t work. Thus, there are a total of 8^3-110=402 distinct three letter words made out of the letters from PARABOLA.

cN SOMEONE explain why im getting A wrong??
this is the work i have which consistently gives me 4/3
your quotient rule is reversed
low dhigh first
also for this problem it doesnt matter bc theyre the same, but its low^2
you may want to remember it by (low dhigh-high dlow)/low^2 because i think youre just applying a formula where the fraction is flipped
what doss low and high meN
low is the denominotor and high is the numerator
but it wouldnt be as easy to memorize/right if you had to say that every time

I am trying to find determinant of this matrix only with using determinant properties. I know, that answer is not 0, but when i starting solve that, i get result 0. What i do wrong? My solution: third column i multiplied on second column, and second and third columns now are equals => determinant = 0
I assume you mean you multiplied the columns pointwise? you can't do that
you can only multiply a column by a scalar
you could multiply the second column by 1 but that doesn't do anything
When i calculate determinant by column,i multiply which column by another column, multiply by a number so that zeros appear in the column, why i cant make it in this case?
you don't multiply two columns together...
you multiply a column by a number and add/subtract that to another column
I realized my mistake, what should I do with this matrix of variables, how can I get the determinant from it, without direct calculation by row
well as a first step you could add -a^2 times col 3 to col 1
that'll leave you with $\vmqty{x^2 & ax & 1 \ y^2 & ay & 1 \ z^2 & az & 1}$
Ann
then factor a from the second column
and you'll be left with what is almost the vandermonde matrix for x, y and z

How do I find f^(-1)'(8) when f=x^3+4x^2+(64/12)x+8
I tried derivating first then inverting but that didnt work
I know the answer btw, I just dont know how to get to it
First you gotta find x such that f(x) = 8, and that x will be f^-1(8)
So you want to find x such that :
x^3 + 4x² + (64/12)x + 8 = 8
You don’t have to look too far for a clear solution...
but I'm looking for the derivative of f^-1(8)
@modern lynx Has your question been resolved?

its not that hard tbh the main thing is what is f^-1(8)
thanks lmao
yeah thats the part that I'm stuck at
Im only used to solving quadratic expressions not ^3 (dont know the proper english words)
is the first step to make it into x^3+4(x^2+4x/3+2), then solve the quadratic part? what do I do with the x^3 outside it?
think I messed up some numbers in there but the idea haha
plug in some easy values
you make it too hard
think waaay easier
whats the easiest value to plug in for x
yesss
hahahaha holy shit
and with that use this rule
that should be it
yepp just checked that correct, thank you so much man
np glad to help
I have another one similar to this, is it okay if I dm you if I cant figure it later?

I need a hint of where to start on how to find the eigenvectors of a householder reflector
Defined as: $F = I - 2uu^*$
Maxerature
try picking a good orthonormal basis of V
V?
I don't know what you mean by orthonormal basis either (I'm still rusty on some concepts, since it's been a while)
I assumed your vector space would be called V
I understand that the eigenvectors need to be orthogonal since householder reflectors are hermitian, but I don't know how to define that (probably in terms of u, I imagine).
I don't know anything about my vector space. I haven't dealt with them in 4 years, since I was a freshman undergrad, so I don't even really remember what they are unfortunately
well thats a very weird set of knowledge you have there
knowing the implications of a operator being hermitian but not knowing stuff about vector spaces
do you remember gram schmidt
@dawn elbow Has your question been resolved?
yes
I'm taking computational linear algebra for my PhD but haven't done any linear alg in 5 years
So I'm a bit lost at points 😅
You mean for QR factorization, right?
you can use it for QR factorization
but in general its an algorithm to turn a basis of a space into an orthonormal basis of that space
I only know it in terms of QR factorization
if you set $A=(v_1, \ldots, v_k)$ and get a QR factorization $A=QR$, then $Q=(q_1, \ldots, q_k)$ with $\operatorname{span}(v_1, \ldots, v_k) = \operatorname{span}(q_1, \ldots, q_k)$ and $q_i$ are now an orthonormal basis of that space
Denascite
I don't know how you'd do that based on just the vectors u
so we have the vector u
I need to base it all on the basis of the householder reflector
do you know that you can extend any linearly independent set to a basis of the vector space?
That'll be a no
uhm ok
I'm gonna pull a "trust me bro" cause I don't really wanna go through that stuff
I kinda need to actually understand what I'm doing
just to give you the outline of what you will do
and then you can read up on the stuff later
cause I wanna go to bed soon
The problem is that I still have my notes from when I took linear alg as an undergrad and that's not in it anywhere
I doubt that
Is it more advanced than something an undergrad would learn in a 1000 level course?
okay I guess
so we can extend ${u}$ which is a linearly independent set to a basis ${u, v_2, \ldots, v_n}$ of our vector space $V$
Denascite
now we can apply gram schmidt and get an orthonormal basis ${u=q_1, q_2, \ldots, q_n}$ of $V$
Denascite
and now check what F(q_i) is for each of those
How would I do this for an arbitrary u?
Like I don't have any actual numbers
Just the formula for F
have you ever done proofs?
this abstract kind of reasoning without actually doing anything to specific vectors?
when I say "apply gram schmidt", I don't actually mean going through the algorithm by hand and calculating stuff
I'm really bad at proofs but I do them for this course
I can do induction fine, but other kinds make me want to fucking scream
I mean in the abstract sense, I would take that set as input and then I would get something out of the algorithm with some properties
Okay I guess, yeah
out of interest, what is your phd about. and what was your masters about. if this kind of reasoning is strange to you
(fair ifyou dont wanna say of course)
No masters, I'm starting straight from a computer science bachelors in data science and machine learning. My PhD is in the same field
from a bachelors to a phd? that's possible? TIL
Yeah it is at most universities in the US at least
I'm in no way a mathematician. I struggle with trig substitution in integrals and still don't know times tables beyond 12. I suck at proofs in any field because I don't have that kind of mind. I can't visualize anything - aphantasia is a bitch in many ways it seems, and I need to see something done (or do it) to actually understand it, which isn't the case in this kind of course. Occasionally an algorithm will be shown, which I do understand, but I can't do abstract logic well. I always have no idea where to start and then get stuck at steps because I can't see how to get where I want from where I am
If proofs require more than algebraic logic, I get stuck, essentially
well you will have a rough time during your phd I think
Yeah probably. This is the only pure theoretical math course I need though. I'm good with everything else like data science, statistics, and applications of the linear algebra used in actual machine learning structures
I wish I could offer helpful advice but really not sure what to say. a lot about proofs is about practice
practicing how to think
which math students usually do during their bachelors and masters
you didn't get all that
Yeah it's a pain. Like I can do proofs for set theory-style discrete math, because that's all induction. This is just beyond me
oh I wish discrete math was all just induction
It's not all induction, but a large portion of it was
It was also 3 years ago pre/early-covid with an 85 year old professor who died from cardiac arrest during one of our lectures so I don't remember much of it
thanks for the help!

How do I prove that on this Delta symbol the Delta is as big as all the other angles combined?
What is the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral?
360 I think.
And second hint: what is the sum of angles around a point?
The same
Excuse me?
I don't think I understand
Ok hold on
You can set up an equation using the two sums
The red angle appears in both
No it has nothing to do with value
Red+delta=red+the three angles in the quadrilateral
We can do this because 360=360
Then we can cancel the red on both sides to prove
delta=the three angles in the quadrilateral
Why is the red angle even necessary?
Isn't it basically the same with or without?
It shows equivalence more clearly
Sure, but I need to prove why it is equal.
I just showed how

Wait sorry, does this mean the value of Delta is 180 if Red+delta=red+the three angles
For that would mean that would mean that both would have the same value so 360/2.
So both are 180.

I am trying to figure out how chain rule works with matrices

is it dot product, Hadamard product, or both
where's your matrix?
I thought for chain rule u use hadamard product
Oh
u want me to right out the actual matrix

i think your formula should be somewhere here

Is E a scalar?
$E = \frac{1}{2} (x_3 -y)^T (x_3-y)$ ?

kind of lol
this might be more complicated than I thought
let me send u the website I was referencing off of
Backpropagation is an algorithm used to train neural networks, used along with an optimization routine such as gradient descent. Gradient descent requires access to the gradient of the loss function with respect to all the weights in the network to perform a weight update, in order to minimize the loss function. Backpropagation computes these gr...
yea you left out the || || in the definition of E
so that does equal this
ok so E is a scalar for total error but the equation I am actually using for backpropagation is
$E = \frac{1}{2} (x_3 -y)^2$
jpjthunder
that is a good question actuallyt
tbh I didnt pay much attension to that part since it was going to become this when derived
$(x_3 -y)$
jpjthunder
you mean differentiated?
yea
use this website instead

Most of us last saw calculus in school, but derivatives are a critical part of machine learning, particularly deep neural networks, which are trained by optimizing a loss function. This article is an attempt to explain all the matrix calculus you need in order to understand the training of deep neural networks. We assume no math knowledge beyond...
@plucky elk I think there are a lot of details that I need to learn to fully understand matrix calculus, but for now I just need to know how chain rule and product rule works
I could be wrong but when u do chain rule u multiply hadamard product and when u do product rule u use dot product

A^m-n, A^m+n, A^0-1,
How would you write 1/xⁿ so that the x is not in the denominator?
You can't just multiply things
1/x^n x x^n = 1
I mean, we can multiply 2 by 2 to get 4, but 2 ≠ 4
So we can't just multiply willy nilly
What does $x^{-n}$ mean?
Gamer Dio
1/x
Where'd the n go?
