my set theory is a bit rusty : would (a without c) cut b be option 1 or option 2?
or maybe even something different?
this one
then find what part of this region "cuts" B
wrong slash
yeah sure
this would be a \ c, no?
so it would be only the middle part then, aka picture 2 i sent earlier?
yeah picture 2

I'm using the definition of the directional derivative as
$$
f(\vec{x} + h\vec{v}) = f(\vec{x}) + hdf(\vec{x})(\vec{v}) + o(h)
$$
From this I can see why
$$
df(\vec{x})(\vec{v} + \vec{w}) = df(\vec{x})(\vec{v}) + df(\vec{x})(\vec{w})
$$
But I can't see why
$$
df(\vec{x})(\lambda \vec{v}) = \lambda df(\vec{x})(\vec{v})
$$
Frisk17
df(x)(v) is matrix multiplication right?
I was actually trying to prove its linearity to do come to the conclusion that df(x) is a linear form / covector
Oh so you currently just have this thing df(x) defined as above and you want to prove its linear?
yeah
If I do that I'd get
(I'm omitting df as a function of x for clarity)
$$
h df(\lambda \vec{v}) + o(h) = \lambda df(h \vec{v}) + o(\lambda)
$$
I'd have $o(h)$ on one side and $o(\lambda)$ on another how'd that work?
Frisk17
@pseudo peak Has your question been resolved?
No the right hand side should be hλdf(v)
hλ is just some new number call it h' if you like
It also goes to 0 as h goes to 0 so perfectly fine to just replace with it in the definition
Oh, that makes a lotta sense
Thanks a lot =)

Any tips on where to go with this?
what grade are u in
What do you mean?
Sorry to inconvenience you.
Factor 3/4 out and then trig sub I suppose
$\frac{4}{3}\int_0^{2 \pi} \frac{dt}{(\frac{2t}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^2 + 1}$
NEONPerseus
Yeah lots of replacement's
Gonna keep limits same and just replace back
Or is that a bad idea?
There's a better way actually
Its Gonna be an arctan
Can I try
$\int \frac{d\theta}{1 + 1 - \sin \theta}$
weierstrass substitution, intro,
a great way to integrate a rational expression that involves sin(x) and cos(x), check out my other videos for examples!
blackpenredpen
NEONPerseus

Explains the sub
Oh the fancy sub
Lol
$\int \frac{d\theta}{1 + (\sin^2 \frac{\theta}{2} + \cos^2 \frac{\theta}{2} - 2\sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2})}$
Boy
IDK if it's fancy or clever
NEONPerseus
$\int \frac{d\phi}{1 + (\sin \phi - \cos \phi)^2}$
phi is theta / 2 for convenience
Oh nvm this won't work :(
I spent far too much time on the latex
That's the joke of it
Lmfao
If you don't know this sub
NEONPerseus
That's not taught and given on examz
NEONPerseus
Worked like a charm
Can you please show me how this factorization works
Which one
,w int 0 to inf ((t-1)^2+3/4))^(-1)
This

$\int \frac{dt}{\frac{3}{4}[\frac{4}{3}(t - 0.5)^2 + 1]}$
NEONPerseus
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
3/4 is a constant multiple now so it comes out of the integral
And 4/3 is absorbed into the square
That's because you first divide by 4
Then 3
When factoring that expression i think

Hello, I'm trying to understand how to get 2root2 from this equation
What happens when you multiply a negative by another negative
It becomes positive, but that doesn't really help my thought process
My thinking is that (-root2)(-root2) = root2 but I think maybe that's wrong
negative root2 times negative root2
no
its true
so then is (-root2)(-root2) = 2?
yep
so this was wrong
I thought it was root 2
yeah
I see
root has gone
ok and ofc root8 = 2root2
I didn't realize it would take away the root when multiplying two roots like that
its not going
root2 . root2 --> root(2.2)
root4 is 2
thats why
negative being positive because (-).(-)=(+)

I was wondering if I have |x| and if I am asked for it to be compressed or stretched in these ways would my provided answers be correct if not what am I doing wrong
Horizontally compressed by factor of 4 = |1/4x|
Vertically compressed by factor of 4 = 1/4|x|
Horizontally stretched by factor of 4 = |1/4x|
Vertically stretched by factor of 4 = 4|x|
Play around on desmos and find out
I am mostly just confused for when it says factor of 4 when I need to use 1/4 and 4 and wasn't sure if I was using them in the correct places
Follow the points
Fix a point and see where it goes
Like horizontally compressed by a factor 4: means f(1) should be found at g(1/4). So you replace x by 4x such that g(x) = f(4x), i.e. g(1/4) = f(1)
ok I think I understand that better now, I will test that out and close this now

seems right to me
have you learned definite integrals?
In this section we will formally define the definite integral, give many of its properties and discuss a couple of interpretations of the definite integral. We will also look at the first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus which shows the very close relationship between derivatives and integrals.
thx how do II apply it to this tho
there are examples in the link
this link is probably better: https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/ComputingDefiniteIntegrals.aspx
In this section we will take a look at the second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This will show us how we compute definite integrals without using (the often very unpleasant) definition. The examples in this section can all be done with a basic knowledge of indefinite integrals and will not require the use of the substitution rul...
theorem and worked example
This is odd
I've never thought of when you're meant to use the slope of the secant vs the integral
Do they give you the same result
slope of the secant line is just one definition of average for linear functions. the integral/derivative is more general
Slope of the secant for linear functions?
i'm confusing two concepts together, ignore me

You and a friend are standing on balconies of nearby builings. Your balcony is 40 ft above the ground andd your friends is 28 ft above the ground. When you loo kat your friend the angle of declination is 18.5 degrees. When you look at the top of your friend's building the angle of inclination is 44.2. Note: These angles are also called the angles of depression and elevation respectively. Use right triangles to determine the height of your friend's building.

help
idk
lol that woudl be a good thing to know
because thats what we wanna find out
my guess would be
whether or not these P_i are all equivalent
but thats onyl a guess
I think I could help you out, but I need to know what consistent means in this case
ahh alright thanks
so basically they are asking if the set that contains all the formulas is satisfyable
if thats what its calles in english
so
give me a moment
kk
what I'd try to do would be tranfsorming them
so for example Y -> Z = ~Y v Z
thats more handy imo
and same for P3
and P4
then Idk how you guys exactly use these truth trees
I'd just go over the possibilities and conclude whether or not it works
do you have an example for a truth tree ?
ok sorry I have never really seen this before
what I'd do , maybe that helps you too is this
ok to keep it simple
I dont wanna use anything that you might not be using in your courser
so from P3 we know that Y has to be 1
therefore from P2 we know that Z has to be 1 aswell
because ~Y is going to be 0
then from P4 we know that ~Y will evaluate to 0 and therefore ~X has to be 1 so X has to be 0
then check that for P1
X = 0 => ~X = 1 done
also done for Y=1
so I'd say its consistent for X = 0, Y=1 and Z=1
but how youd show that with your tree idk I am sorry
I am not familiar with these trees

I don’t understand this
i never said x is a variable either.
It's you guessing.
But yes, same logic applies.
Hmmm so it’s kinda like substitution?
It's an identity.
use double angle formula
Can you explain?
Which one would you recommend to see the logic easier?
I see difference of two squares or something from the first line but I don’t know I’d that could help or go in the reverse direction to make even more work this problem
cos(2x)=cos^2(x)-sin^2(x), 2theta is used for x
you only have to memorize cos(2x)=cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)
the others are just using the identity cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1
OK..

Is there a way solve this using stars and bars?
you are counting the integer solutions of p+q+r=27 subject to 1 ≤ p < q < r and p+q > r
Yes
let x := p-1, y := q-p-1, z := r-q-1
the conditions p ≥ 1, q > p, r > q are equivalent to x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0 resp.
we get p = x + 1, q = y + p + 1 = x + y + 2, and r = z + q + 1 = x + y + z + 3
thus p+q+r = 27 becomes 3x + 2y + z + 6 = 27
and p+q > r becomes x + 1 + x + y + 2 > x + y + z + 3, or x > z...
does that help us any?
if the goal's to specifically employ the stars-and-bars method, i believe you'd be out of luck.

I tried ratio test to see if it converges absolutely, but I got a 1, not sure where to go next
recall the theorem statement of the ratio test
should just be alternating series test
ok yeah thats probably faster
I thought of that too, but idk how to really show that this is monotone decreasing, I can’t really do derivatives with those factorials in the way
have you checked with wolfie
The theorem says if the limit is one the test is inconclusive, no?
I only plotted the sequence, which does seem to be eventually monotone decreasing which is enough to prove convergence, but I can’t take desmos with me to an exam
,w (5^n + n!)/(3 + (n+2)!)
hmm
Maybe I did the ratio test wrong?
I really should not be trying to do analysis while this sleep but
it looks fine
you said it's monotone
I looked at the root test too but it looked pretty undoable. Integral test is out of the question with the factorials
maybe we can try using the monotone convergence theorem here
just to prove its convergent
So maybe I’m missing a comparison?
what would you compare it to though
If I knew that I wouldn’t be missing it 😛
If I get rid of the n! It will diverge by the ratio test
However, that’s not much use now that I think about it, it will be greater than this so it diverging isn’t useful :/
But then this is less than our series, so it converging isn’t useful. It’d be interesting if it diverged
Besides I don’t even know if I can show that that converges either, it’s the same ratio test 😦
perhaps getting rid of the 3 from the denominator might help?
that would give us an upper bound
(I'm unrigorously ignoring the alternating series bit)
Exactly the same in terms of the ratio test, notice how I just discard all of those constants and the slower growing exponential in the limit anyway 😭
I'm not using the ratio test here
Then idk how to show that the new series we have converges either
converges or absolutely converges
we can actually
the sequence of the partial sums on the right piece is most certainly monotone and bounded so it converges.
probably the same on the left piece too but to avoid saying something wrong I'm going to go to sleep
Left one converges by ratio test, right one converges by duh
well "duh" is not an acceptable proof in an exam I'm guessing
try leaving it as an exercise to the grader 
Mehdi_Moulati
Mehdi's expression is very elegant. a lazier way is just to use p-series comparison test
p-series is better tbh
@bold aurora Has your question been resolved?
hm, how does this work?
Oh, instead of the duh proof?
I left it as duh because it's just ~ 1/n^2 no?
right
eh still good to state it
Yeah, I'll write ~ 1/n^2, converges by asymptotic comparison test
Thanks everyone

I think the numbers are 14, 7 and 3 but idk how to formally calculate it
Well fully
Or if there Is one or just logic
And shown by trial and error
Um, so you have 3 numbers.
x + y + z = 24
x + y = 10
One of the numbers is double the other two and it cannot be x or y because they're both smaller than z. It can be both: z = 2y or z = 2x
2x + x + y = 24, so your answer is correct. All you can do is simplify it to 3x + y = 24 (just sum the two equal values).
If you have to find the numbers themselves, you already know that z is 14.
z = 2x
x = 7
And y = 3
Or if z = 2y then y = 7 and x = 3
Here's how you calculate it:
z = 2x
x = 7
x + y + z = 24
7 + y + 14 = 24 (plug in the values we know to find the unknown one)
21 + y = 24
y = 24 - 21
y = 3

so basically im trying to calculate the 31st term in this sequence
I was told that the formula an=a1+(n-1)d would work here..
but what even is my d?
I have both 3j and -4j...
Split it up
you can split it, there's also special formulas for cubes and sqaures
$\sum (A \pm B) = \sum A \pm \sum B$
Umbraleviathan
`Oh.....So wait, would I completely not use this formula then?
^
Nope you will
Okay, I'm confused on how this applies though...what law is this?
Not sure how to work with the problem with the formula Umbrella gave..
Find what separately?
value of each summation
Do you mean that I apply my formula to (3j)^2 and -4j separately?
mhm
And then I add my results together?
Anyone? Does that logic sound right or?
yep
for my second summation, would it 5+(31-1)4 or -4?
because here I see the function has -4j
not sure I forgot all the formulas
Hey, do you know if I would put -4 or 4 for calculating this?
I don't know if 4 or -4 would be my d in an=a1+(n-1)d
positivw
why wouldn't it be negative though
The whole thing is negative though once you subtract it from the(3j)^2 part
because the term is 4j
OH
so im subtracting both summations, not adding them..
Damn it I'm getting this wrong
Can anyone help? My answer to this is -465 but it's saying I'm getting it wrong..
I split it it using the arithmetic sequence formula and partial sums formula
I got 1612-2077
<@&286206848099549185>
What's the problem buddy
its this one
ignore the 20 I put as answer
I don't think so..I personally got 5 when I plugged 1 back into the equation
I'll come back with the answer few minutes later
I am in bed so i can't use paper and pencil
Okay, in the meantime I will work on it. Ping me when you can. 😃
@leaden scaffold is the answer 91760
How did you get it?
...
I was working on it for 30 minutes
Is it correct
ok
Do you know this formula @leaden scaffold
Just put in 31 for n
Then multiply it by 9
Because (3j)²=9j²
I thought we had to use sequence and partial sums formula?
I don't know what those words mean
Do you know the formula an=a1+(n-1)d and formula sn=(a1+an/2)n?
Nope
Then i subtracted 4*(31*32/2)
You don’t need to know this
Yes, but EVERYBODY knows this
Can I show you my work?
If you want too
Nevermind. Can I just type what I did out?
I first substituted 1 into the equation (3j)^2-4j
I got 9-4=5
Mk
I then took the 5 and chugged it into the formuma an=a1+(n-1)d
I got 5+(31-1)3
I got the 3 from the part of the function that said (3j)^2, btw
It equaled 95...
Was that the last step
Like did you submit 95 as the answer
Yea no
You cannot use that formula for both
One is an arithmetic sequence
The other is geometric
You split your summation into 2
Wait, so I was doing it wrong? The chemistry tutor said that's howd you do it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xavgv1m9feE
This algebra and precalculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into solving summation problems expressed in sigma notation. It also explains how to find the sum of arithmetic and geometric sequences.
My Website: https://www.video-tutor.net

Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop...
I wasnt finished, I did the same process again for -4j..
But it still be wrong
Wait what do you mean?
The second you have the variable of the summation squared you can’t use arithmetic
So after I get 5 from 3(1)^2-4(1) I don't do any additional math?
Yea u do but not this maths
I would go about it a different way
What way?
Split it firstly so
please break it down like I'm layman
$\sum ((3j)^2) - \sum (4j)$
Mortta
ok
Handling the 9j² part and -4j part seperately is important
Ok let’s focus on the right first coz it’s easier and you did it right
That’s just $4\sum_{j=1}^{31} j$
Agreed?
Mortta
Mortta
This is equal to 496
Now put times it by 4 we have 1984
@leaden scaffold U with me?
Ready to move onto the left
I’m reading it all one moment
$\sum_{n = 1}^{5} 2n$
Mortta
Let’s use this example
This is just 2(1) + 2(2) + 2(3) + 2(4) + 2(5)
But that is also
The same as
2(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)
Put it in a calculator if you don’t BELEIVE me
And (1+ 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) is just
$\sum_{n=1}^{5}n$
Mortta
Ok
You can take factors out of the summation as long as they’re not like the variable involved (in our case j)
Now for the left side
This is a bit more tricky
$\sum_{j=1}^{31} (3j)^2 = \sum_{j=1}^{31} 9j^2 = 9\sum_{j=1}^{31} j^2$
Mortta
Agreed?
Yes
Why don’t we substitute 1 into j though to get just 9?
We don’t need too
Mhm gimme a sec
Ok now we’ll go with @rich stratus idea becuase it’s nice and simple
Which is using this formula in the middle
He posted it earlier on
Now deriving this is not fun so we’ll just use it
I agree
By the way can we appreciate the fact that sigma k^3 formula is sigma k formula squared
Think about why that is the case
We get $\frac{31(31+1)(2 \times 31 + 1)}{6}$
Mortta
Ooo I didn’t realise that wtf
ThTs pretty cool
All these 3 formulas and the next ones can be proved easily using induction btw
Putting it in a calculator we get 10416
If you don't know the proves i recommend working them out yourself they are actually fun
And timsing by the 9 we took out we get 93744
Ooops wrong reply but yea
Now we just do 93744 - 1984
@leaden scaffold
Where did we get 6 from in denominator?
It’s just the formula
The derivation of it is not the best
But we just know it’s true
Oh, that’s the general formula?
Is there general formulas for x^3, and x^4?
X^3 is right below it
X^4 I can probably find for you gimme a sec
@rich stratus there is a pattern here
I wanna say pascals but I just can’t think of it
Do you know it?
Thank you for your help Mortta.

Hey, I am pretty sure I derived it correctly, but I am struggling with finding the common denominator. I get stuck at trying to do e^t * (ln t)^2
Do I have to do (ln t)(ln t) first? And if I need to do that, how can I do that?
can you identify the lcm of \
$\ln(t)$ and $t\cdot (\ln(t))^2$
ℝamonov
ln(t)
LCM = lowest common multiple?
Ohhh
I would just multiple them together
So
I'm just gonna write it down
Would this be right?
that's a common multiple but not the lowest
Hmm
consider what you do for this nicer example
$$\frac34 + \frac{1}{12}$$
ℝamonov
how would you (efficiently) combine those
(1/4) / (12/4)
whut
Im sorry 😭
what's the lcm of 4 and 12
2
no
Its 12
Ohhh okay
and can you express 3/4 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12
9/12
yes, and proceed with combining the fractions since the denominators are now the same
ℝamonov
yeh
now bring that back to what i initially asked \
can you first identify the lcm of \
$\ln(t)$ and $t\cdot (\ln(t))^2$
ℝamonov
you'd multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction on the left by t*ln(t)
Lcm would be t*(ln(t))^2
yes
Ohhh okay
Okay im going to try that. Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it!
I did it! Thanks again! 🙂

Im having trouble proving if $\alpha + \beta > 2$ then $f$ admits a limit at $(0,0)$ direction
KN
Cute handwriting ngl
Didn't knew Diligent Clerk had an apprentice

i think this can be done easier with polar coordinates if you know how to do that
i've forgotten how to switch to polar coordinates tbh 😅
But i can try to learn that
otherwise, maybe like squeeze theorem
with a "base" case with small alpha and beta
but like if you can just prove that the limit is 0 when alpha = 1 and beta = 2
then it will still be 0 when you increase alpha and beta
hm, why is that?
squeeze theorem?
you only need to look at (x,y) near (0,0) (so |x|,|y| < 1 or whatever)
so increasing the exponent will just make this smaller (or closer to 0 might be better to say)
okok that is what i was trying to confirm lol
ill try that
thanks
np ^^
does this argument work?
I wanted to show |f(x,y) - L| = 0
where L is the limit
like, I know the limit of f(x,y) will be 0
and I think our prof actually mentions we can use that
so this is saying no matter from left/right, the distance of f(x,y) to 0 will be 0
hence the absolute value

more of a conceptual question, for the solution to part b, it states that the plane thru those points has the eqn y=-2 cuz they all have that in common. is it possible for there to be an equation of a plane that passes thru 3 points but none of the x,y,z are common between the three? 2nd question: also, how would one write the equation of a plane that is diagonal (not parallel to any of the axes) (just an example would suffice
thanks in advance
Do you mind explaining what you mean by none of the x,y,z are common between the three?
yes,sorry, so i mean that no individual x, y, or z coordinate between the 3 coordinate pairs are the same, like for example: (1,2,3) (4,5,6) and (7,8,9) none of the x,y,z points are common between the 3 coordinate pairs
To answer the second question you can represent any plane in 3d in the form ax + by + cz = d. Where a,b,c and d are real numbers.
i see
to expand, three points like (2,3,4) (5,3,9) and (10,3,23) share the y=3
Any 3 points are always coplanar so should work right?
hi
oh, even tho this seems intuitive, i didnt really realize it
Its a bit hard to give a concrete example where the dont share any coordinate, its much easier to find a diagonal plane (say x + y + z = 1) and then find 3 points on it that have no matching coordinates
So the plane through (1, 0, 0) , (0.2, 0.2, 0.6) and (3, -1, -1) satisfies your requirements.
so like (5,4,-8) (5,7,-11) and (5,14,-18) would work?
That should just be the plane x = 5
ohhhh i see
oh right lol
When you get further in your mathematics studies you learn about cross products and that allows you to find these equations
Not parallel to any axis hm.., the normal vector of the plane when dot product with direction vectors of the axes just needs to not be 0 ig?
I doubt this person knows what a dot product is
judging from the question that goes along with this
No he does, ive seen him here a lot
Also the solution to part b was cool, i would have just straight up gone to determinant form💀
i took lin alg, but wasnt very strong with it, thus i didnt rlly understand the concepts and how they applied to things like this unfortunately, so ik how to calculate the dot product from the formula, but i dont rlly understand it conceptually
rn im just starting calc3
Dot product of 2 vectors 0 means the vectors are perpendicular to each other, ur saying u dont want the plane to be parallel to the axes, so when plane parallel to axes, normal vector of plane is perpendicular to the axes, so just need to prevent dot product of normal vector with direction vector of the axes from being 0
My uni only has calc 1 and 2 so its a bit hard to visualise for me what it would be about
but ig its multivariable calculus
sorry what do u mean by normal vector of plane
Normal vector of plane means like a vector that is perpendicular to the plane
try to solve this question
Here the normal vector would be a i+bj+ck
Please open your own help channel @honest shuttle
oh sry i'm new din't know
nw
ok yea thats what i figured, so how would one prevent the dot product of the normal vector with direction vector of the axes from being 0
this is the part where i explain my LA basics are severely lacking and i should really take a look at some ocw
I might be wrong, but i think its just a,b,c,not equal 0?
Cuz like the x axis direction vector is just i+0j+0k right?
Yeah I think you're right
Btw my channel also has some vector and 3d questions if u guys are interested
ok im slowly dissecting this message and understanding more and more lol, thank u Casper and idontsleepanymore for the help, ill read over this chat log a couple more times and see if i can comprehend further, thx again, my questions are answered

I want to merge models according to have a certain percentage at the end. However the limitation I am facing is that I can only ever merge 2 models at a time.
So for example if I do this in my head.
Model A 40 %
Model B 40 %
Model C 10 %
Model D 10 %
I would first merge
Model A+B 50/50% each
Then
Model C+D 50/50% each
And finally
Model AB 80% and Model CD 20%
To have Model ABCD with the percentages given above.
Now I am looking for a formula to calculate this in advance with a "arbitrary" amount of models.
Now when I do it in order like this
Model A 50% + Model B 50%
Model AB <90% + Model C >10% (I am looking to find out a formula to calculate this step)
Model ABC 90% + Model D 10%
An alternative problem would be this, where I can no longer do it in my head.
Model A 55%
Model B 15%
Model C 15%
Model D 10%
Model E 5%

I have no idea what you are describing
hmm not sure how I can best describe it.
In decision theory, the weighted sum model (WSM), also called weighted linear combination (WLC) or simple additive weighting (SAW), is the best known and simplest multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) / multi-criteria decision making method for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a number of decision criteria.
I am basically doing this, but with the limitation, that I can only ever do 2 criteria at the same time, instead of doing everything in one go
this might be easier to explain in voice, however I am currently not available. I should be in around 2h however. I would be fine closing this for now and reopening it then?

Someone please help me with this
I got it wrong
You cannot just assume A is symmetric.
leave it as a b c d as it was given in the question
and eventually you will have a system of equation to solve by equating each element of the 2x2 matrix with the matrix [-18, -21; -33, 0]
yes

y=1-2x
x^2+y^2=2
Did you even try to do this?
!status
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'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
i managed to plug in the equation then im stuck
what did you get after plugging in
x^2+(1-2x)^2=2
oh so you dont know how to expand it?
2-2x-2x+4x^2
I would disagree
try expanding again carefully and then collecting like terms with the rest of the stuff in the equation then using the quadratic equation
oh sorry i added the 1 instead of multiplying🤦♀️
So what did you get after expanding?
1-4x-4x^2
Good
So what would this be when you expand it?
check your signs

how can i prove that this function is surjective?
because i suppose i cannot use an inverse of this function
since i don't know if it is bijective on not
Take some random $(b_{2}, a_{2}) \in B \times A$, and find some $(a_{1}, b_{1}) \in A \times B$ such that $f(a_{1}, b_{1}) = (b_{2}, a_{2}) $
chartbit
hmm
ok, so
if we have (a2, b2)
then the function have to be f((b2, a2)) = (a2, b2)
so tbh we've got what we started with, but now we've got a2 and b2 instead of a and b XD
what can we actually do next? 🤔
That's pretty much it for surjectivity lol
For a given element in the range, you found something in the domain that maps to it 
hmm
how could i actually put it in words?
Erm, like "given $(b,a)\in B\times A$, we have that $(a,b)\in A\times B$, and that $f(a,b) = (b,a)$" I guess?
