So I distributed the 1/3 and got
x/3 - 4/3 < x+8
I have to remove X on both sides but im confused with removing the x on the less than side
multiply 3 both sides to simplify it
before or after removing the x?
wdym removing the x?
Doesn't matter where the x is
Ok, I multiplied
x/3 - 4/3 < x+8
by 3 on both sides and got
3x-12 < 3x +24
Im confused here, I wanted to add 12 to both sides but I can't subtract 3x from both sides
Starting over
looking at the example the part after removing the x is confusing to me, how does it turn in -5x/6 - 5/2?
<@&286206848099549185> 
I see 15/6 gets divided by 3 into 5/2 but im still confused on how removing the x turns into 5x/6

what multiplication equation would be used if a price of something was going to be raised by 10% for an example?
i know if a price went on sale you can do $200 multiplied by 0.10
if its on sale by 10%
but if the price got raised i don't know what you would multiply the price by
110% would be * 1.1
yep
ok tysm
because youre keeping the previous price (hence the 1.) and adding another percentage (hence the .x)

hi
The problem says: Calculate the sum of the first 100 terms of the following sequence:
1;3;5;-7;9;11;13;-15;17;19;21;-23
This is an arithmetic sequence
Do you know the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence?
I have tested the formula, but I am confused because there are positive and negative
Oh! I didn’t see the negatives
yes, then that's my problem
@boreal mantle Has your question been resolved?
@boreal mantle Has your question been resolved?
use it ignoring the negatives then add 2 sums of negatives
(1+3+5+7+9+...) + 2 * (-7-15-23-...)
thx i will try
using the formula with difference 2 I get an answer that is not in the alternatives

say i want to create some sort of story that has an answer like (n^2)!/(n!)^n, how could i approach that?
by story, i mean like "place n boxes..."
maybe something like the number of ways to arrange n distinct balls into n distinguishable boxes such that each box has minimum 1 ball?

Hello.
Two angles in between a line and two parallel lines like this will always add to 180
So 3x-5+2x-15=180
Unfortunately I can’t be much help there I think we use slightly different words in England for the angles
I believe 1 and 5 are corresponding
I have no clue what the other two mean lol
Okay thank you so much for your help
corresponding means equal
supplementary means adds up to 180
as far as i remember at least
Is that for the second or first one?
verticals are across but take that with a grain of salt
in gneeral
Okay

On part a, I have no issues on the first part but I can’t figure out if there’s a catch to the condition of x=1. Afaia it still converges via the alternating series test criteria.
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
Sounds about right, you meet all the criteria for it! Get 1/k^8, nonincreasing sequence which goes to zero, so the "alternating" version of it must converge [at least conditionally]
Okay cool, that’s what I was able to write out.
[in fact you could consider x=-1 as well and that would converge there too]

Can someone please help me solve this
the sin(x) is always between 1 and -1
sooo....
I’m very new to this method so don’t expect much lol
Mehdi_Moulati
which means that :
It’s 0?
you mean the final answer of the limit ?
the sin of something is always between 1 and -1
Ok
but that doesn't mean that the whole eaquation tend to 0
Makes sense
since :
[ -1 \le \sin(e^n) \le 1 ]
we can say that :
[-\frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{n+1} \le \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}\sin(e^n)}{n+1} \le \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{n+1}]
Mehdi_Moulati
does it make sence ?
Yup
if the limit of :
[\lim_{x \to \inf }-\frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{n+1} = \lim_{x \to \inf} \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{n+1} = L]
then :
[ \lim_{x \to \inf } \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}\sin(e^n)}{n+1} = L]
Mehdi_Moulati
Does L stand for limit
L is a value
Ok
real number
so you just need to calculate those limits
Can you show me how to do this specific one
I’m not very good with limits in general
just factorize by (n^2)^(1/3) in the denominator
,align
\lim_{x \to \inf} \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{n+1}
&= \lim_{x \to \inf} \frac{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}{\sqrt[3]{n^2}* (\sqrt[3]{n}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{n^2}})} \
&= \lim_{x \to \inf} \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{n}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{n^2}}}
Mehdi_Moulati
Would that be the answer
of course
no bro
What would it be then
when n tend to infinity where does 1/n goes ?
0
apply that in your limit
How would I apply it tho
when n tend to infinity where does 1/sqrt^3(n^2) goes ?
It approaches 0
We’re already basically done can you please show me the answer I’m gonna practice more anyways and I just want an example
it's 0
Mehdi_Moulati
am i seeing wrong or is everything in the limit just a constant ?
x is tending to infinty of a function that is not in x terms
it's just a typo

oh ok xD

if i am trying to show two vectors which are scalar multiples of each other (i.e. u=av for some scalar a) are linearly dependent, can i assume the scalar a is nonzero, or should i do two cases, one where a is zero and one where a is nonzero?
like, when you say one vector is a multiple of another, does the word multiple imply that the multiple is nonzero?
if you assume the scalar can be 0 then 0 is the scalar multiple of every vector
right, so are you saying we can assume its a nonzero scalar then?
yeah
so for example, i dont have to say, "if a=0, then to satisfy u=av, it must be true that u is the zero vector" ?
no you should include it, its good to be thorough
oh okay!
would you mind looking over my proof per chance when i finish it in a minute?
just to make sure it makes logical sense
sure
thank you! i know it is wordier than it needs to be, but I struggle to figure out where I can cut things down.
For the second paragraph you can cut out where it says "in the case where a=0...
*third paragraph
okay! but wait, why? i thought you were saying it's good to be thorough
so youre trying to show that if u,v are scalar multiples, then they are lin dependent
yes
but lin dependent definition only says that two vecs are lin dep if they satisfy
au + bv = 0 for some a,b
right
we already assumed a is some real scalar and 1 is obvious real so u-av=0 already satisfies this defint
but saying a is some real scalar, doesnt that mean a could be zero?
nothings wrong with that
so even in the case where a is zero, it doesnt change that u-av=0 satisfies the definition of linear dependence?
precisely, since this just implies that one of the vectors are 0 and 0 vec is lin dep to any vec
okay, so i can just scratch that part then because the case where if a=0 then u must be the zero vector is implied. thank you!
one thing you could do is suppose one of the vectors is 0 vec to start with and follow with, "then the vectors are trivially linearly dependet" or something along those lines and then follow with "then suppose that u,v are nonzero vectors"
if it makes you feel better, but really not necessary
okay fosho! ill probably just cut that part like you suggested and then leave it! i appreciate the help tho, thank you!

<@&286206848099549185> If you calculate the discriminant (b2 - 4ac) does the a need to be possitive. So before calculating, do you need to translate the formula into a formula with a possitive a?
Don't immediately ping helpers thxxx
O, sorry
this are the workings by the way. But I had -8 and -6. Why is this wrong?
So in the answers I had a - before the 8 and 6
absolutely not
Yes, I thought so. But why is my answer then wrong?
show your working
is it this?
Yes
so, the two equations you are talking about are
3x^2 - 8x - 47 = 0 and -ve of that?
Therse are my workings btw
Well my final anser, but it is on paper and my phone to take pictures is downstaires
looks correct except for -6 in denominator
,rotate
u just multiplied by -1/-1 so its good too
So is my answer correct or not?
the quadractic formula is $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}$
numbpy
where $D = b^2 - 4ac$
numbpy
make sure you've used this correctly
Yes i did, so I guess my answer is correct and the answer book is wrong?:)
Look at the pictures that I send
you can use -17a -17b and -17c too, u just make it more complicated for yourself
So both my answer and the one from the book correct. Only if you write it down in my way you switch x1 and x2 but that really doesn't matter
indeed
yes

I need help approaching 1
Hint: object is at rest when v(t) = 0
yes, then solve for t
huh?
What should I do now?
Looks correct, notice that time can't be negative so you ignore -5/2
So I say therefore the times the object is at rest is t=0 and t=3
They're asking at what times t, the object is at rest
yes, maybe add seconds
or maybe not
they haven't specified the units

soo
im doing calc 2
i have the problem integral from 0 to pi/2
of 2sin2t/4-cos2t dt
and i got it down to integral from 0 to pi/2 of du/u
which means ln of absolute value of u
but the work my teacher gave us the values are now 3 to 5
and idk why
any guesses or my teacher do it wrong
i thought you wouldve just plugged u back into ln of u
then use pi/2 with u minus 0 u in ln and get like ln5/3
nvm i figured it out apparently the way i did it just so happened to work the same but im suppose to convert the domain with my u

Did you think about residue theorem ?
Here the residue is 0 because the function is holomorphic inside the closed path
To compute the integral, you should integrate on each part separatly
You will have three paths and hence three integrals

i think the answer to the first part is no because there's not a pivot in every row of B if you row reduce it
but how would i do the second part
question is weirdly worded
the columns of B are not elements of R^3 so they couldnt possible span it
but they would span some 3 dimensional subspace of R^4 that is isomorphic to R^3
@viscid spire Has your question been resolved?
but idk if that's what it means
rows don't span anything, only columns (i.e. vectors) can span a space
oh okay
this is incorrect
This is seemingly for an intro linear algebra course, given how the questions in the screenshot refer to columns

Must prove
If gcd (a,b) =1
Then gcd ( (2^a) -1, (2^b ) -1)=1
I cant understand how to use the fact that a and b dont divide eachother
what have you tried so far
Not very subtle ways, like getting some products and using gcd linearity
,, \frac{a}{b}=1 \implies \frac{2^{a}-1}{2^{b}-1}=1
But i did it during an oral exam with euclid's lagorithm
But i cant remember how it went at all

-8q-2=p(3-4)
-8q-2 over 3-4
= p
it appears you just solved the question
why is the answer on top dif tho
oh
What's 3 - 4?
I mean mathematically, what is 3 minus 4?
-1
So you have what now?
wait not this one
Please read #❓how-to-get-help
What's 2 - 4?
Wait, that's a z
i think its a z bro
Not a 2
Show your work
wait
What are your steps?
Yeah that's the same because (z - 4) = -1 * (4 - z)
oh so it is
okay thats all i needed thank you
🙂
what do i do now
when im done
and not need help
tap . close
wait
one more
thingy
soz
for this one
-8q-2 over -1 = p
does -8q-2 over -1
equal to
2+8q
anyone
....
yeah, i think so

X
Is this correct?
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = < x ^ 2 + y ^ 2
is true because of the =, so it's reflexive
it's antisymmetric because for all (x, y) and (p, q),
if x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 < = p ^ 2 + y ^ 2
AND
p ^ 2 + y ^ 2 <= x ^ 2 + y ^ 2, then x = p, y = q
and I think why it's transitive is pretty trivial since x < y and y < z obviously means x < z

How do I prove that "(9^x - 2) mod 5 = 2" is only TRUE for odd numbers?
I may use logic and induction
But I think it's too weak an argument to say "well for the first 10, 9^x ends in either 9 or 1"
It seems 9^x follows a pattern of ending in either 9 or 1, making the above statement true, but I don't have any ideas how to prove it
It would help if you kept these mod 5
Idk how mod works, but I do have general understanding of why it always ends with 1 or 9
I can help u with that ig, but I am not sure how u would formally write it with symbols and stuff 
You may easier see the pattern
modulo sorry
i understand the pattern, though don't know how to prove that they will keep going for infinity
mod is the remainder you get after division. 9 mod 5 is 4 because 9/5 is 1 with a remainder of 4
what are all of these numbers mod 5?
it's not mod 5, it's (9^x -2) mod 5
U can prove it using number theory ig
so the last digit of the numbers are 7 or 9, which makes mod 5 either 2 or 4
I'm asking what is the result of all of those calculations once you mod it by 5?
and for odd numbers it's 2, making the statement true
where do you see 7?
here
sorry, the table is not ((9^x) - 2) it's just
9^x
but all the last digits here are 1 or 9. No 7 to be found
i realized the ambigous -2 lol
my bad too. I should have inferred
Anyway, how would I go about proving the pattern goes on?
I'm hoping for a bit more explanation lol
i guess it should be true for x = 2k-1 only?
because of uneven numbers
so i should prove for k instead
i'm confusing myself
yeah that's fine too
You can do it that way
Inductively, that should be easier
Here's a hint, for k=1, you get 9^1-2 mod 5
Show that that's 2 mod
Then for some arbitrary k+1, write $9^{(2(k+1)-1)}-2=9^2\cdot 9^{(2k-1)} - 2$
SWR
it messed up the formatting but i get it
oh you fixed it, nice
thanks a lot for the help! this has been the most fun part of my night so far. Feels cool to use induction 😎
learned about it yesterday
nice
If you wanna feel even cooler, you can show that 9 = 4 mod 5, so 9^x=4^x mod 5
Makes the arithmetic a bit easier
isn't 4 mod 5 = 4?
oh hahahaha
@empty gyro
sooo... i got this far
do I just reduce or am I missing something?
nevermind, sorry, i didn't see what you wrote
I don't get it, how does this prove induction
also, shouldn't it be "...= 9*9^(2k-1)..."
instead of "...=9^2"
Nah. Review exponent properties
oh dang, missed that
it's x2 i didn't see that
what's the next step from my screenshot?
Because I need to have the modulo part in my proof aswell, right?
Just FYI it would be easier to prove 9^(2k-1)=4 mod 5
I'll bbl
I'm eating my fish sticks
But yeah. Prove this

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
6
what is it then
$2 \pi r$ is the Circumference
Shockshwat
yeah, use that formula to find it
Do i divide by pi or 2 first
what do you think you should do
if you are dividing by 2
and then multiplying again by 2 doesnt it mean the same thing
Thats why im dividing
and then you are multiplying again
ok so you divided by 2 here right?
yes
and then you multiplied it by 2 again
oh

so then do i just divide by pi
yes
notice that you can rearrange 2 pi r to 2r pi which is just diameter * pi
what did you answer?

$$
\forall v \in V:
\langle u, v \rangle = 0 \implies u = 0
$$
I know the converse is true but is this true as well?
Frisk17
yeah
can you even take inner product of two different vector spaces?
well if V is a subspace then ig it would make sense
dont take my word for it
lmao
how can you go about proving this though?
I don't think that is true, if u and v are orthogonal vectors, their inner product is 0 while none of them are
For instance (0, 1) and (1, 0) in R^2
I'm saying this forall vectors v
if the vector u gives 0 inner product
then is u necessarily 0
Indeed, my bad, therefore it is true yes
^ any idea?
It should be true for v = alpha*u since it is true for all (since we assume u in V) with alpha != 0
ah
that makes sense
so basically
$$
\forall \alpha \in F:
\langle u, \alpha u \rangle = \alpha^* \langle u,u \rangle = 0
\implies u = 0
$$
where F is the field associated
with the vector space

Complementary angles add up to 90
So you have w + x = 90 and y + z = 90
The question asks for the sum of x + (w + y + z)
See if you can use that to help you figure out the sum
The question asks for the sum of x + (w + y + z)
Question asks what is x and what is w+y+z
I dont think that and is for adding them
huh
its not possible to determine their individual values
the question wants the special relation between the expressions
I thought it was looking for the other word used to describe the sum of angles that is very similar to complementary angles lol (I dont wanna give the answer away incase they want to attempt it first)
so all add up to 180
Yup and what are angles that add up to 180 called?

Trying to find C to complete the equation. What am I doing wrong here?
$\int e^{2.7u}\dd{u} = \int e^{1.8t}\dd{t}$
NEONPerseus
Is this what you did?
Yes
$\frac{e^{2.7u}}{3} = \frac{e^{1.8t}}{2} + C$
NEONPerseus
Looking good?
Shouldn't 2.7 and 1.8 be at the bottom?
I simplified it
3 = 2.7? Lol
MrSomeone
Sorry lol
Yeah so you can multiply by 9/10 throughout
Now since u(0) = 3.5
$C = \frac{e^{2.7 \times 3.5}}{3} - \frac{1}{2}
Wrong way round argh
Wait sorry why did you multiply 9/10?
To simplify denominators
$C = \frac{e^{2.7 \times 3.5}}{3} - \frac{1}{2}$
NEONPerseus
Did you not get why?
Uh yea im not sure
my third from last row i got e to be alone and used ln to put u alone
Alright have a look
$$\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{e^{2.7u}}{2.7} = \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{e^{1.8t}}{1.8} + \frac{9}{10} \times C$$
$$\frac{9e^{2.7u}}{27} = \frac{9e^{1.8t}}{18} + C$$
$$\frac{e^{2.7u}}{3} = \frac{e^{1.8t}}{2} + C$$
NEONPerseus
Nah it's alright
So this is the value of C, and with logs and stuff as you did previously you can find u(t)
Is my equation correct? I just need to plug in C to find it right?
Ah okay
Other than that it looks alright

I need to find the fixed points of this equation
I set that equal to x, and solved it and got (rk -k) / (r - 1)
is that correct so far?
@dreamy finch you are on the right track to find one of the solutions
you already lost one solution, though
x = 0
right
okay great
almost forgot about that
so just to make sure i understand, a fixed point is a point in which the iterative value does not change, right?
that's it
okay great, but the thing that confused me is the stability type. How could a fixed point be unstable?
like if it's unstable, then it's not a fixed point because the value is changing, right?
no there can be unstable fixed points
try to balance your pen on your finger
im liking the analogy
if you hold it exactly vertically it will stay, if deviate by the minutest amount it will fall
the verdict "stable/not stable" is speaking more about the vicinity of the fixed point rather than about the point itself
i.e. "do you move towards or away from the fixed point when you start close to it?"
oh okay. So in this case, how would i find the stability type?
Do i just take the derivative of the original equation at the point (rk - k) / (r -1)?
how much linear algebra do you know?
do the terms "linearization" and "eigenvalues" say you something?
a fair amount, but this course does not use linear algebra
no 😦
i shouldve learned eigenvalues but we ran out of time when i took the course
although i think i know the linearization theorem
is that just determining the derivative at the point and seeing if it's absolute value is less than 1?
that should work around zero
around the other fixed point at x=k you need to modify your idea slightly
what do you think is x=0 stable/unstable?
what about x=k?
Do you know the concept of a Taylor expansion?
$f(x) \sim f(x_0) + f'(x_0)(x-x_0)+\frac{1}{2!}(x-x_0)^2 + \dots$ as $x\to x_0$
Landau08
$f(x) \sim f(x_0) + f'(x_0)(x-x_0)$
Landau08
$\frac{r x}{1+\frac{r-1}{k}x} \sim r x, \text{ as } x\to 0$
Landau08
and around x=k:
$\frac{r x}{1+\frac{r-1}{k}x} \sim k + \frac1r(x-k), \text{ as } x\to k$
Landau08
I just see, your idea to just check the derivative at the fixed point works just fine also at the x=k fixed point.
(your answer will depend on r, by the way)

what exactly does it mean to sample elements from a set with pairwise independence. Let's say that we have a set S, and we create a subset R from it such that every element is added independently with probability p, in that case every element has a probability of p of being in R. However, let's say that we sample elements from S to create a subset with pairwise independence, how exactly is it different from the first scenario. Apologies if things aren't completely clear, I needed a clear idea of the concept behind the problem, however I can't share the problem completely as I want to solve it myself.

Im really only focused on the first entry to the chart, the "last second" one. I'm just really lost so anything would help
I tried setting t=1 and got 12, that was wrong unfortunately. I think just bc it wasnt specifically the last second
If i could just get help with understanding that first chart answer than i think i can do the rest tho
@solid crow Has your question been resolved?
last second would be 1.3229-1 seconds after it started falling
so 0.3229 seconds after it started falling
Yeah so i basically figured out the height that the orange was at when the time was at 0.3229 seconds
It was 26.332 feet
Which i would think means in the remaining second, it falls that 26.332 feet, meaning its falling at a rate of 26.332 feet per second
But it also said that was wrong :(
its asking for the average rate
Wait would the average be different? If im only worrying about the last second, and in the last second it travels 26.332 feet, wouldnt the average just be 26.332 feet per second?
Or is that wrong
try dividing it by 2
Will do, ill let u know how it goes
because at the end its on the floor so 0
Dang it still said its wrong
I thought that mightve done it
I put 13.166 for the answer
Yeah thats kinda what i was thinking, ill try and email my professor about it cuz im at a loss trying to solve it
Thanks a ton for trying to help tho!

By recurrence I prove that $u_{n} \geq 1$ for all $n \geq 1$ but don't know how to prove that it converge to 1 and not diverge and also say that it's decreasing from a certain rank

like if this sequence have a limit, like l so $u_{n + 1} = l$ and $\frac{1}{n + 1}$ tend to 0 so $l = \sqrt{l}$ so $l = 1$ but I don't know if this is correct and I don't know if it can also diverge
yes sorry for the latex

I tried to calculate $u_{n+1} - u_{n}$ and I can say that if $u_{n}- u_{n-1}$ is negative so $u_{n+1} - u_{n}$ too

don't know is this is useful, because I don't know if it's decreasing or not
@supple shore Has your question been resolved?

,w plot sqrt(x) + 1/(x+1) - x

Actually nooooo I'm being slow, not this 
Anyways we would have that $u_{n+1} - u_{n} = \sqrt{u_{n}} - u_{n} + \frac{1}{n+1}$

I was being slow and it was the wrong idea there, sorry for that!
