If I'm asked the question the same thing by some others, I feel I should know the answer
like this
the red region will then be $2 - \sqrt{1 - (x-2)^2} \leq y \leq x$ for $2 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \leq x \leq 2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, while the green region will be $2 - \sqrt{1 - (x-2)^2} \leq y \leq 2 + \sqrt{1 - (x-2)^2}$ for $2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \leq x \leq 3$.
Ann
very ugly
you got what you asked for.
thank you
i think a big part of math is knowing when not to bash
QuantumBee
$P(Y\leq X-4)=\int_{0}^{10} \int_{0}^{x-4} \frac{1}{50} \dd{y} \dd{x}$
QuantumBee
I did this, the answer came out to be 0.2, 1-that would be 0.8, which was wrong
I feel I'm always messing up the integrals
@merry sleet @quasi bison
Ok
ok
I'm getting 0.36, it's still wrong
no
you've calculated P(Y ≤ X - 4) correctly from what i can tell, but now you need to take the complement.
as per this
$P(X+Y \leq \frac{1}{3})= \frac{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot 1}=\frac{1}{9}$
QuantumBee
Similarly, $P(X+Y \leq \frac{1}{5}) = \frac{1}{25}$

I did this question and got 102C2 = 5151 using 2 separators and the 100 lost marks, which was correct according to the answer key.
My question is: Why is 202C2 wrong? I know I'm missing something very obvious, so can someone point me in the right direction?
@glad sedge Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
because you break the constraint of max marks 100 in many combinations
OHHHH
something like 197 + 2 + 1 might be chosen but it's invalid
np
no idea how that slipped my mind tbh
you can .close if you dont have any more doubts

is there a concrete method for working this out? by hand
they probably just guessed that 2 would work
and it did
so they factored out (x-2) using polynomial long division
i see
no guessing or polynomial division needed

@toxic stratus hi
hi
pls
kinda preoccupied in help-25 rn lol
hi
i think someone told me this bfore
but i kinda forgot/didnt quite get the theorem
what is the definition of linear independence
linear independence means that no vector in the set can be expressed in the form of each other

do you have a more formal definition
hmm like textbook formal?
and maybe one which treats all vectors equally?
uhh
erm
do u want me to find it in my textbook or smth
well that would help
you need to know definitions
otherwise how do you want to talk about things when you don't know how they are defined
alright
erm i dont quite have a wordy definition tho
would this suffice
this is perfect
so $v_1, \ldots, v_k$ are linearly independent if $c_1v_1+\ldots+c_kv_k=0$ implies that $c_1=\ldots=c_k=0$
Denascite
that we can work with
what does the exercise say. what do we have to show
wait but someone told me before that there was like a direct proof for this or something
ohh
so we need to show that
if Pu_1, Pu_2, ... Pu_k are LI, u_1,u_2...u_k are LI
so i can also say that
$c_1Pu_1 + c_2Pu_2 + ... = 0$
HellO
i think
oki
carefully separate assumptions from goals.
we know that u_1, u_2, ... u_k are vectors of n dimensions, and P is a n * n matrix
then suppose Pu_1, Pu_2, ... Pu_k are linearly independent
oh so what i just wrote in latex is an assumption?
well it's a random equation out of context
^
hit enter too soon.

i would phrase it as this:
== ASSUMPTIONS ==
* P is an n × n matrix
* u_1, u_2, ..., u_n are vectors of size n
* The set {Pu_1, Pu_2, ..., Pu_n} is linearly independent
== GOALS ==
* The set {u_1, u_2, ..., u_n} is linearly independent
you wish to show that {u_1, ..., u_n} is linearly independent.
to this end, you introduce n arbitrary real-number constants c_1, ..., c_n and assume c_1 u_1 + ... + c_n u_n = 0, and set out to prove that for each i from 1 to n, c_i = 0.
== ASSUMPTIONS ==
* P is an n × n matrix
* u_1, u_2, ..., u_n are vectors of size n
* The set {Pu_1, Pu_2, ..., Pu_n} is linearly independent
* c_1, c_2, ..., c_n are real numbers
* c_1 u_1 + c_2 u_2 + ... + c_n u_n = 0
== GOALS ==
* c_i = 0 for all i
thereby transforming your problem into this

Quick question about a basis for a topology. Can there be multiple basis for a topology on a set X?
Nvm should have googled. It says "There can be many basis for the same topology (but a basis generates a unique topology)". Just to confirm. Is that true?
I assume it is ofc

<E = <C?
What do you think?
When are two triangles congruent?
when sides congruent
Nice
So you have two triangles that have two sides that are congruent
can you say something about the third ones?
they're also congruent
Yes
so now you have two triangles that are congruent, don't you?
What happens to their angles when they are congruent?
They are also congruent
Yup
just two sides (SS) is insufficient
Oh you are right, my bad, from the drawing I mistakenly assumed those were both right triangles
I'm sorry

Find the maximum distance a car will drive if:
- The fuel is kept in 3 barrels, 100 litres each
- The car can carry 1 barrel at a time
- The car fuel tank has capacity of 20 litres
- The fuel consumption is 10 litres/100km
My professor got 1690, I either get 3000 if the car can go back to change barrels or 1000 if it can't

Yeah, \limits isn't required here
Let f(x)=1, and consider the limit x to 0
you require epsilon to be > 0
Not necessarily. You already say that "for every epsilon > 0"
and as you just discovered, the f(x) - L can be zero.
if we require epsilon to be 0, then most (maybe all?) discontinuous functions won't satisfy it
eg $f(x)=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\neq0,\1&\text{if }x=0\end{cases}$
Toby
f(x) is never 0, but the limit x to 0 is 0
yup
basically, a limit looks at the points around the limit, but doesn't care about the actual definition of f at that point

Can you write an equation with that?
yea thats where im stuck on
Say if p=10 could you calculate the change, q then?
im just looking for the formula on how to do it
i can solve it in my head
oh wait
nvm
lemme retry
yea no im still confused
that dosnt really help me
i have to write the formula
no my teacher wants the formula
oh yea
i got mixed up
i though it was divison instead of subtraction for some reason
wait can i write my answer as q=(3p-50)
or would that be formatted wrong
50-3p not 3p-50

hi
the formula in question is the geometric series formula
but can we use that formula to prove this?
in the geometric series we assume a constant raised to a power
here we have $w(q)^n$
Paschalis Chinos
they indexed the sum wrong. should be k=0 to N-1. w=e^(2pi i/N)
yeah but w is a function of the N parameter
N is fixed
Do we agree that the geometric series can be proven by induction?
<@&268886789983436800>
ty
how does it work with $\sum^{n=0}^{N-1} w(N)^n$
Paschalis Chinos
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
oops
N is fixed
it's just a fixed number
like it could be $\sum_{n=0}^3 e^{2\pi i n/4}$ or something
Denascite
w is constant with respect to n
first prove $\sum_{n=0}^k w(N) = \frac{w^{k+1}-1}{w-1}$ by induction on $k$
Denascite
then set k=N-1
ehh dont worry, it is confusing. it could definitely be meant like you thought
I mean it doesn't matter does it
it's the same however it was meant
if it works for k it works for N-1
what happens when N = 1?
obviously the answer is 1
but in the closed form
you'd have a division by 0

How come this graph is considered hamiltonian but is not complete?
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
@blazing dew Has your question been resolved?
vertex
it's not clear what you mean
a graph doesn't need to be complete to be hamiltonian
then what about the travelling salesman problem which aims to find the hamiltonian cycle of minimum cost
one of its assumptions is that the graph is complete, right?
i suppose
then since hamiltonian cycles come from hamiltonian graphs
and considering the constraint, it has to be complete
then why is the graph i showed not complete but hamiltonian
sorry i don't know
Traveling salesman is for (directed) weighted graphs
Completely unrelated
Do you know the definition of Hamiltonian?
yes
What is the definition, as you understand it?
its when you can visit each vertex exactly once
Yes, and you should be able to do that here.
but one of the things that TSP assumes is that the graphs are complete
also, I just googled and it says that TSP can be modelled as an undirected weighted graph
I don't know why your so fixated on that
my book says that
TSP is about Hamiltonian paths on a weighted (possibly complete) graph
TSP does not define a Hamiltonian path
i see
why possibly?
For a weighted graph is doesn't really matter if it's complete or not
why not
Since you can assume edges that aren't there are there and just have weight zero.
is a complete graph a graph where a vertex is connected to every other vertex by a single edge, or when every pair of vertices are connected by a unique edge?
i have no idea if these are the same or not
depends
generally I'd say these are equivalent because multigraphs are not graphs
but these sorts of definitions are going to vary depending on the text you're reading
i got another question
ofc weighted graphs by default also refer to real weighted graphs, which differ from multigraphs, although you can represent any multigraph as an integer weighted graph
why are TSP graphs often complete?
it's just easier to assume that all possible edges are present than it is to keep track of a list of edges
so you can make up connections
you can just give those edges a weight of like 25 million or some other high number so any algorithm won't take it
but you can make them up right
for the sake of simplicity
yes
this may sound dumb, but what do you mean by 'keep track of a list of edges'
but for weighted graphs, do I still need to establish that an edge exists even though it has a weight of 0?

how do I integrate this? I cant use partial fraction decomposition and not regular devision either since the numenator is a power less then the denominator so I'm kinda stuck
Completing the square and trig sub
how do I complete the square?
you can take out -2 as a constant
This algebra 2 video tutorial shows you how to complete the square to solve quadratic equations. This video is for high school students taking algebra 1 & 2 and college students taking introductory or college algebra. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems with solutions / answers that can help you with your next workshee...
oh thanks, I tried looking at it in my book but didnt understand but I'll try the video
Only difference is you're doing it to an expression, not an equation. Instead of, say, adding a constant to both sides, you'd add and then subtract the constant
The answer has a trig function so...
Well I don't have the inverse trig integrals memorized so for me thats just a trig sub in disguise 
is there a straightforward way to find out which constant? Or is it just understanding things in which case I just gotta watch the whole of that video
Completing the square is pretty intuitive imo
You just want to add something to get something in the form a² + 2ab + b²
For instance, what could you add to x² + 2x to make it a perfect square?
1?
Yep
So we can write x² + 2x + 2 as x² + 2x + 1 - 1 + 2
Which is (x + 1)² + 1
Square completed
ohhh alright it was just the phrasing that I couldnt make sense of
thanks for the help

Why is n+nZ not in Z/nZ
Since Z/nZ = { a + nZ | a in Z }
I think n+nZ is equivalent to 0+nZ but i don't understand why
In my mind, it seems 0 + nZ includes the zero element
but 5+nZ does not
of course it is, it equals 0 + nZ as you noted
depends, what is n?
if n is 5 then 5 + nZ = 5 + 5Z = 0 + 5Z = 5Z, which certainly contains zero

or you can point my error as well, that also is commendable
note that ln(x/2) = ln(x) - ln(2)

Write an equation perpendicular to y = -2x - 7 that passes through the point (4,3)
i know how to write an equation parallel just not perpendicular
im not sure if theres another formula or what 😭
the product of gradients of perpendincular lines is -1
OMG ok thank u sm
this is just a rabndom pic I found online
i missed the entire lesson on this topic
it's ok you'll catch up
yeah
once you get the gradient of the perpendincular line
just substitute htat for m
and then use the coordinate
where'd you get 3/4 from
umm i
ok let me write this out on a pic hold on
@white hollow ignore the highlight shes making us highlight the equation we finished w
im confused
dude this is not the question you asked at first
how did u get that
it's just a formula for perpendicular liens
ohhhh ok
so what's the gradient of the perpendicular
im so sorry but do i like plug in the m to the formula u sent
m is the gradient of the perpendicular here
m = -3?
im genuinely so confused
ok so we have the line
-2x - 7
we want to find a line perpendicular to that
the gradient of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the other gradient
so the gradietn we have is -2
-2 x m = -1
reciprocal would give 1
that's the formula
ok -2 x m is -1
if you want to know why it equals -1 you can derive it from some simple trig
but anyway, m here would be 1/2
so the gradient of the perpendicular line is 1/2
so y = 1/2x + c
we need to find c
we do this by using the point that the perpendicular passes through
(4, 3)
mhm
ok i think i get it
i have to go out somewhere so ill jus finish this later
thank u for helping tho
sure no worries

is this proof by induction?
l <= m meaning the base case then the p(m+1) being the induction
inequality is the wrong way to say anything
I don't think that's the problem. It's the base case for strong induction
It's just that they only give you the base case here
oh shit woops
so a. not sure , depends on other answers
b. depends on the carried out proof?
c. no idea how to picture that
d. is the only thing that looks familiar

wait wouldnt c be true maybe
because l <= m < n and since it would prove all things >=m
If you were going to use strong induction. You would first prove that P(l) is true for all l<m.
But that's not all you would do, right?
You'd also have to show the induction step
hmm

hi i got the an exercise but its in greek so ill try to translate it perfectly
we got a continuous function f: R -> R with f(3) = 2. If xεR then f(x) * f(f(x)) = 1, find f(2) and f(1).
I found f(2) = 1/2, by rearranging x = 3, but i cant find f(1)
I rearranged again x = 2 so, the function becomes f(2) * f(1/2) = 1, but i dont know how to continue. Any help? I thought of f(1/2) < f(1) < f(2)

I'm wondering if these two curves are orthogonal? My derivatives look like negative reciprocals but they have different variables...
You need to find the points of intersection

Given:
plane 1 = 2x-4y-z=-1
Express in scalar (normal form) an equation of a second plane that passes through P(2,1,-3), Q(3,2,-2) and is perpindicular to plane 1
So I know the normal of plane 1 is <2,-4,-1>
I can make a line equation which passes through P
line 1 = <2,1,-3> + t<2,-4,-1> where t belongs to real numbers
line 2 = <3,2,-2> + t<2,-4,-1>
These would both be perpindicular since i'm using the normal of plane 1
however i'm not sure how to get a second plane

I got 4 points as my answer
But when I plug in two of them back into dy/dx, I don't get the right slope
Also, if I had solved for x instead and did x = y -3, I wouldn't have even gotten those two points in red at all....
Can someone help?
Yeah, those are just extraneous solutions @glad dragon
How would we have known to check for extraneous solutions? There's no absolute value or radical
And if we did x = y - 3 to get the 2 right solutions, how do we know those are the only 2 solutions?
Why were they even extraneous? I didn't do any algebraic manipulations like squaring both sides, doing radicals or absolute value, etc
@trim swan ?
Hm, looks like you are away
I'm still here, sorry I'm still thinking about it
Thank you
Oh wait
The points you circled are the extraneous ones
The ones you didn't circle are the correct solutions
Yes
I'm just wondering why they are extraneous, and why we needed to check.
If we had done x = y -3 instead, we would have just gotten the two correct solutions with no extraneous
Yeah, because if you plug those solutions back into x, the equation you have is linear
it only has one soltution
You should sorta always check for extraneous solutions, unless you're positive there aren't any
When you solve an equation and you go from
equation P
to
equation Q
to
equation R
You're showing that if equation P is true, then equation Q is true, which means equation R is true
But then you solve equation R, and you find what values make it true, that doesn't necessarily mean they make equation P true as well
Even if the logic works forwards, it doesn't necessarily work backwards, so you should always check
Do you mean y = 3 - x part is supposed to have only one solution since it is linear?

Im looking at a proof of „continuity from below of messures“ and i dont quite get the meaning of the equation in the circle
the arrow means "approaches from below" i think
Can it some how be written in other ways
Like is it lim sup?
Lim sup ( mu(A0\Aj)- mu(A0\A))
And j goes to infinity?
if something converges, then lim=limsup=liminf
Yes
I've seen that notation in two contexts. either x_n <= x for all n or even further x_n is a monotone sequence
where lim x_n = x
measure theory really likes monotone sequences
well mu(...) is a number
The one in blue circle has another arrow
Yes!
So one number converges to another number?? From below??
Or from above???
Then the equation of that in the middle is suppose to be a number?
That I don’t understand
your notes should hopefully define this notatin somewhere
well mu(A_0 \ A_j) is a number that depends on j
and mu(A_0 \ A) is a number that is fixed
and this says that the first sequence converges to mu(A_0\A)
from below
we have a sequence $x_j = \mu(A_0\setminus A_j)$
Denascite
Oh wait
with $\lim x_j = x = \mu(A_0\setminus A)$
Denascite
Am I suppose to read the equation this way?
and this limit is "from below"
if that helps you, sure
Oh yeah I get it now

That confused me with how can one convergence be a number
That’s a lot!

sqrt(x^2) = -x
for negative x
you can if you want, though unnecessary if you apply
sqrt(x^2) = |x| = -x
under these conditions
in the original form, you have inf-inf which is indeterminate
using conjugates is fine
you just need to remember that sqrt(x^2) isn't x
poor implication
$|x| = \begin{cases} x \ &\text{if } x > 0 \\ -x \ &\text{if\ } x\leq 0 \end{cases}$
ℝamonov
it's part of the definition of the absolute value
sqrt(x^2) = |x|
both of these have the same pieceeise definition and are equivalent
since you're considering the lim as x to -inf, you're dealing with negative x
when manipulating your fraction you'd be dividing numerator and denominator by sqrt(x^2)
you can divide the roots like you did earlier,
and then for the numerator, you can use sqrt(x^2) = -x
not sure what you mean
you can factorise sqrt(x^2) if you want
either way you'd apply sqrt (x^2) = -x
at some point

how do you represent a 2x2x2...x2 game as matrix (that can act on vectors) and what are that matrix's properties?
intuitively, I was thinking that you could just represent each player's strategy as a bit, either 0 or 1, where 0 represents strategy 1, and 1 represents strategy 2. From this, we could make a binary string, where player 0's strategy is the least significant bit.
for example, in a 2x2 game, consider the payoff:
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
(3, 3) & (10, 1) \
(1, 10) & (2, 2)
\end{bmatrix}
$$
where $(x, y)$ represents the payoff; $x$ is the payoff to player 0, and $y$ is the payoff to player 1
Now, for each strategy, we can create a matrix:
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
3 & 10 & 1 & 2 \
3 & 1 & 10 & 2
\end{bmatrix}
$$
Column 0 is the strategy profile $00$, column $1$ is the strategy profile $01$, column $2$ is the strategy profile $10$, etc.
We can easily call the vectors $\begin{bmatrix}1 \ 0 \ 0 \ 0\end{bmatrix}$ to get the payoff for profile $00$, and use vector $\begin{bmatrix}0 \ 1 \ 0 \ 0\end{bmatrix}$ to get the payoff for $01$ and so on.
Is this method well known/what are the other properties of this matrix? Is there any relation to this matrix and the nash equilibria?

Hello, im having brain farts trying to understand direct proportionality. y = kx. is K the difference between y and x?
if you have a table say X = hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and distance y, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000. to get direct proportionaly between say x-3 and y-2000, is that what K is?
@tiny frost Has your question been resolved?
You make 10 dollars an hour. How much do you make when you work x hours?
($) = ($ / hour) * (hours)
y = 10 * x
for your example with distance, can you figure out the distance travelled per hour?
Yea, x times y, so 1 hour 500 whatever the metric is
yep
so proportionality is basically saying,
I have (this) for each (thing)
okay that is crappy phrasing
Right, so if I have a question like this: "You know that P is proportional against T with the proportionallyconstant K. (im not used to do math in english but I hope you understand what I mean)
so it asks deside P if T is 44, and you know that K = 0,75
you just muiltiply those togheter
but ok Im kinda getting it now 😄
Thanks for the explanation

||cA|| is not √(c(a² + b²))
cA • A
c (a,b) * (a,b)
(ca,cb) * (a,b)
ca^2 +cb^2?
What about it?
Remember ||v||² = v • v
That says nothing about cA
That formula is true for all v
I want to know cV not V V
||A||² = A • A and ||cA||² = (cA) • (cA)
Well, if you don't want it squared, then just take the square root
Ik but why do you not
So I don't have to write the square root symbol
It helped tho; thanks

However this was terrible advice i would never figure it out

And in terms of absolute values you have that $|u_{n}- v_{n}| \leq u_{n} + v_{n}$ because the two sequences are positive
