Could someone help me figure the steps out and explain why it’s done like that step by step pls
What do you mean by removing the parenthesis?
If you meant that as in distributing the coefficient then yes, you would be correct
But what happens to the 6?
No, you dont have to do anything with that yet
I mean you could depends on how you want to approach the problem
You could multiply everything by 6 do get rid of that denominator if you wish
Or
You could distrbute the fraction first
I believe that multiplying the entire thing by 6 would help you out
definitely multiplying boht sides by 6 is easier
yea that’s what I was thinking
if only because it leaves less room for error

So it’d be 5(x-4)=3(x-2) right

can someone please explain this claim?
why do we need the exopntent of 2 and p-1 to be coprime?
<@&286206848099549185>
if $\gcd(n,138) > 1$, then that means $2^n$ will "skip over" at least half the terms/some terms
Dee3Cay
primitive root means when iterating along it's power (power 1, 2,3 so on), it should go through all values modulo 139 (except 0) once
this is just a rough idea but

$$f(x) = \begin{cases}
x+1&x \text{ is odd}\
3x&x \text{ is even}\
\end{cases}$$
ItzKraken
let $a_{i+1} = f(a_i)$
ItzKraken
could someone guide me how to find the solution to the recurrence relation?
I think I found something similar (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3720790/solving-the-piecewise-recurrence-f-n-f-n-1f-n-2-for-f-n-1-even-and) but I have no idea what they does after that O thing. Is it big O notation? If yes how is that useful in this context? If no, does it refer to parity?
Collatz’s disabled cousin
what gave it away?
the 3x+1 shit
I only wrote 3x 
well in anycase
do you guys have any links to resources?
he also does some matrix crap at the end, no idea what that is
this looks kinda ugly ngl
wdym
i think your recurrence is gonna be hard if not impossible to obtain an explicit formula for
or wait hold on.
okay
the sequence never has an odd number after an even
so if a1 is even only the even condition will ever trigger and it's just a geometric seq
if a1 is odd it'll be geometric starting from the 2nd term onwards instead
f(x) is even nmw
yeah I thought I was tripping cus it looked that simple to me 
wdym, we have 3 after 2 no?
oh i forgot to mention, let $a_0 = 900$
ItzKraken
can you please calculate a1,a2 and a3 for us
aight
a1 would be 2700, a2 would be 8100, a3 would be 24300
yeah if u start with even u never got odd
!xyproblem
wdym?
hmm well then it becomes even and stays even
are you sure this is the problem you want to ask about or is this some sort of intermediate step in a different problem you actually want to solve
Asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem
well no, am just asking how to solve a piecewise recurrence relation in general
I’d be surprised if there is a general method
well if $a_0$ is even,
then this becomes $a_{i+1} = a_i + 1$
if we knew then we could solve collatz
ItzKraken
...
ah okay
can u explain atleast what they did in this MSE thread?
at a quick glance, they notice that the parities repeat
they analysed the recurrence and realised that it would always be odd, odd, even, and thereby the piecewise could be turned into not piecewise
so they consider one such period as "one step"
which can be nicely expressed using linear algebra
could I have realized this fact and solved it using some other method? like characteristic root technique or smthing
same strategy that was applied for your dodgy recurrence relation
what if we dont find such a pattern? then it becomes a collatz-like problem?
at least it immediately becomes much harder
okay

Consider the function $f:\mathbb{N} \longrightarrow \mathbb{N}$ with
$$
f(x) = \begin{cases}
3(x-1) & \text{ if }x\text{ is odd,}\
\frac{x}{2} & \text{ if }x\text{ is even but not divisible by 6,}\
x+3 & \text{ if }x\text{ is divisible by 6.}
\end{cases}
$$
Examine $f$ on injectivity, surjectivity, and bijectivity.
Levens
now i know the definitions of the properties, but how do i examine the function and find out if it is injective/surjective? Do I split it up?
Well, you know the def of e.g. injectivity?
Vice versa? That won't be needed
but its true lol
Well yea
it's true, it's just what it means to be a function
yeah
but how can i do that if there are 3 cases for f
Case-by-case 💀
probably wouldnt matter right
It can be helpful
ok ill give it a go
First show that in each case the remainder of output when divided by 6 is different
i dont get it
If x is odd, what's the remainder of 3(x - 1) when divided by 6? (Use the fact that there exists an integer y with x = 2y + 1)
oh the remainder is y
Huh
sry what does remainder mean english isnt my first language lmao
Ah, I see
E.g., remainder of 57 when divided by 25 is 7 because 57 = 2 * 25 + 7
how can i present x as a number thats even but not divisble by 6..
You do not need to present it
what is your first language
for x/2 the output would be y again if we say x=2y... but how would that help us
german
Teilungsrest
yeah figured.. thanks!
First, x is even, so x = 2y for some integer, now you need y not to be divisible by 3, so let y = 3k + 1 or y = 3k + 2 for some k
@split ether do you think you might be overcomplicating stuff
Don't know, this is how I'd do it
Once we show that the remainder is different in each case, we will be able to say that if f(x) = f(y), then we have either 3(x - 1) = 3(y - 1), x/2 = y/2 or x + 3 = y + 3
6k+0 -> 6k+3
6k+1 -> 18k
6k+2 -> 3k+1
6k+3 -> 18k+6
6k+4 -> 3k+2
6k+5 -> 18k+12
is how i would do it
ooooo
cool
And just show that in each of the situations you have x = y
btw does N start at 1 or at 0
but then youd have to do the first 6 natural numbers manually right
we start at 0
right yeah you would need to check the low ends first
so yeah f(0) through f(5) manually
i mean with this it also show surjectivity right, since they all have an output
thats in N
not quite no
oh yeah oops nvm
you can show INjectivity by looking at what residue classes mod 18 are covered by each case
surjectivity would by that for all n in N there exists a x in N with f(x) = n
yes
and that is why you need to check the first fivee
so that you know which output is the lowest possible for each case
f(0) = 3, and this is the lowest output that you can get from f(6k+0)
likewise the lowest output possible from f(6k+1) is f(1) = 18
Well, that is assuming the function is increasing within each residue class (which it is).
and so on for the other cases
the restriction thereof to any residue class mod 6 obviously is.
and you can use the formulas i wrote down to prove it. it is not hard.
(But Levens, did you learn some about residue class?)
like e.g. for 6, the numbers 11 and 17 would be in the residue class 5?
Ah I was worried you could be confused, don't mind it
you might be onto something though, cause i never really used them before
i just know them from seeing them in the internet here and there
Yea, you can partition the natural numbers into residue classes - that is all you need to know methinks
but why would it be important to know the lowest output for each case?
that kind of confuses me
so that you know the lowest output of f globally
and if it isn't 0 you know it isn't surjective
(because f will miss 0)
okay but there is an output thats 0
is there?
yeah for x=1
ah
ok yeah you're right
hm
still though
would be good to map out all of its outputs
actually maybe we'll prove it is surjective that way
well
f(0) = 3
f(1) = 0
f(2) = 1
f(3) = 6
f(4) = 2
f(5) = 12
...and then your list that generalises the further terms:
6k+0 -> 6k+3
6k+1 -> 18k
6k+2 -> 3k+1
6k+3 -> 18k+6
6k+4 -> 3k+2
6k+5 -> 18k+12
@short sparrow Has your question been resolved?
yeah i kind of still dont get how it shows injectivity/surjectivity
esp surjectivity
do i show f(x) = f(y) ==> x=y for all 12 cases? like idk.. somethings missing in my head lol
and with all 12 cases i mean f(0),...,f(5) and then 6k+0,...,6k+5
Well you can simplify it a bit.
If you assume f(x) = f(y), the two should be in the same residue class, right?
Wdym "trying to say"?
Anyway, assuming you understood this, you would see that you may compare the residue classes first.
hm.. ok then what about surjectivity
For surjectivity, you first consider partition of natural numbers into residue classes.
Then, for each residue class, you can see what kind of x you need for f(x) to be in the class
basically this right
6k+0 -> 6k+3
6k+1 -> 18k
6k+2 -> 3k+1
6k+3 -> 18k+6
6k+4 -> 3k+2
6k+5 -> 18k+12

$gcd(6r+1, 6^2r^2+5)=6$
FirstNameLastName
This is just straight up false
6 doesn’t divide 6r+1
Whoever wrote this did not make sure it’s error free, and I therefore wouldn’t assume that no other errors were made
That aside though it seems the proof itself is correct
@velvet hearth I think your channel is gonna be closed soon btw
Yeah that proof has a lot of errors and unproven assumptions baked into it
To fulfill the proof you should be aware that gcd can neither be 2 nor 3, because they can’t divide 6r+1

I got the correct answer but how do I put my answer in the form they're asking in?
Multiply this out by 2x^2 + 2
Is it = to 0 or 2x^2 +2?
You had on the top line that $\frac{8x^3 + 2x^2 + 5}{2x^2 + 2} = \frac{-8x + 3}{2x^2 + 2} + 4x + 1$, and the suggestion to multiply both sides by $2x^2 + 2$ changes your right hand side to be what you wrote (but with appropriate bracketing around the $2x^2 + 2$)
@junior smelt
Then the left hand side but becomes 8x^3 + 2x^2 + 5
Tysm
basically find natural number n so that...

i keep getting this wrong and idk why
(x-3+2i)(x-3-2i)(x^2+2x+1)
(x^2+6x+9)(4)
(4x^2+24x+36)(x^2+2x+1)
4x^4+8x^3+4x^4+24x^3+48x^2+24x+36x^2+72x+36
where did that (4) come from?
yeah but it wouldnt be multiplying the whole polynomial
Where did the x^2+2x+1 come from
(x+1)^2
If you want a zero of 1, shouldn't it be (x-1)^2?
i did the perfect square thing
oh u right
i guess that messed with everything?
are you able to expand (x-a)(x-b)? if so then do that and then plug in 3+2i for a and 3-2i for b
(x-3+2i)(x-3-2i)
this too maybe? (x-3)^2 (4) made sense to me
well then what is it
its this
like its just (x-something)(x-something else) and you know how to expand that
same thing bc theyre conjugate
well is there a shorter way to do that
can you answer this question in 3 minutes?
takes me forever
well yeah but only because i've done this kind of stuff alot for a while

Hi
do you want a basis for the range ?
so if the range has dimension 2 ..then you have only to search one vector that goes to zero right ?
?
uh
no im not sure about that
how would the matrix look
thats all i need to know
augmented
do you know that dim ker+ dim Im= dim vector space=3 (for your case)
no
i know dim
i just need the matrix really
bc its straight forward from there and i can see how u got it just by looking at it
how did they get Null(L) is [2;-1;1]?
it takes long..
could u show the calculations
can you find a vector that goes to zero ?
: 1 2 0 0
0 1 1 0
-1 0 2 0
1 2 0 0
RREF:
1 0 -2 0
0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
its impossible ...why there is 4 column ?
yeah the transformation goes from R^3 to (essentially) R^4
the starting space is R^3
so you found that matrix yourself?
delete last column (?)
yea
yea
yea seems fine
this matrix represents your linear function

Do a polynomial division, youll be left with only easy to integrate addends
Okay I've just finished that question, although I have one more question.
For integration word problems such as this:
How do I know whether to seperate variables and integrate or otherwise?

hello
what is n?
and x is a positive real number
You can show that cos(2nx) - sin(2nx) = sqrt(2)cos(2nx + pi/4)
lilisworld
then the sign of that will only depend on the sign of cos(2nx + pi/4)
ok but actually i don't think that's how i'm supposed to do sorry but i don't think i need to find the derivative
huh
that is the og question
and you're tasked to find?
is fn uniformly convergent on R+
and i tried to find the sign of the derivative
the cos sin thing
you know the pointwise limit right?
it's 0?
yes, but the dif gives ne^(-nx)(2cos(2nx) - sin(2nx))
you only need to find when the derivative = 0
those will be your extrema
how do i solve derivative=0?
tan(2nx) = 1/2
what interests us is the first extrema, because we know THIS will be the biggest fn will ever get
so we're solving on 2nx in [0,pi/2[ and so x = arctan(1/2)/(2n)
so yes requires a bit of proof but this has to do with the fact that e^(-nx) is decreasing and sin(2nx) is periodic and bounded by 1, so the max is the first extrema we ever cross
is there another way that doesnt involve arctan and all of those things?
yes, you can bound fn by another, easier function which will be easier to bound
ok can you give me a hint
but here I don't think it's possible
as I told you I think fn cannot be well bounded here
if you compute fn(x) for this x
you will find a constant
So norm of fn is constant and doesn't converge to 0
Another way is simply to find a sequence xn such that fn(xn) never converges to 0
the sequence xn = 1/n easily settles it
fn(xn) = sin(2)/e

How do you calculate the last one?
It should be 2. something
Can you use a graphing calculator for this?
The only relevant part is x - 35/x^2 + 5 = 0, right?
Yes that is the derrivative
Just need to find where the derrivative is 0 using a calulator
Well in the text above it says you should put the derivative equation into a graphical calculator and then find where Cbar’(x)=0
So where the line intersects the x-axis.
I have no idea what kind of graphical calculator you use, but there might be a way to press a ‘root’ button or an ‘xcal’ button once in the graph screen. This can find the exact value for which the derivative is 0
That can work too
Okay thanks
Anyways the answer should be 5.9 something
no it was 2.204
Yes it's 2.204...
Yep you’re right, sorry I mistook a plus for a minus

how do i find two square roots of z?
@latent wedge Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
@latent wedge Has your question been resolved?
if w is a square root of z, w² = z
so |w| = sqrt(|z|)
and for the arg, you have two choices since there are 2 roots, but both choices should lead to 2arg(w) = arg(z)+2kpi
here arg(z) = -3pi/4 and you can write it 5pi/4 too
so for arg(w) you can choose 5pi/8 or -3pi/8 which is the same arg as 13pi/8
wouldn't 5pi/4 not be part of the domain though?
is this the formula?
yes
👍
you can also solve it algebraically
which way is easier?
the formula is more direct, it's linked to the exponential form which makes it really easy to understand
n is
n is the amount of square roots we want to find?
i said that wrong
n is the amount of roots we want to find?
is that right? im not sure
when you want to find the nth roots of z
it's equivalent to solving w^n = z for w
which always yield n solutions since w^n-z is a polynomial of degree n in w
then the formula you posted gives the n solutions
im just not sure if i have all the values to plug in to the formula
do i?
i have z
r
theta
yes
okay
i got r
yeah i can plug those in right
and the only value i wouldn't have is
what, 2?
or whoops
n?
so
n = 2
z = -1 -i
r = sqrt(2)
theta = -3pi/4
did i do that right
and i can just plug those in?
yes
note that in the case of square roots
if w² = z
then (-w)² = w² = z
so the formula is just telling you that there are two roots with one that is minus the other
the root for k = 1 is minus the root for k = 0
would i need to change anything if i were to plug anything in because of this?
no
what would k be again? and are you saying in this instance it's 0?
k is a thing that goes through [0, n-1] to give you all n roots
but since we have n = 2 bc we're talking about square roots
there are only two roots
one which is given when k = 0
and the other when k = 1
ohhhh
with the k = 1 one being minus the k = 0 one
so i write the formula twice, one for when k = 0 and one for when k = 1
yes
got it
alternatively, the roots are the one with k = 0, and minus this one
but in a general case, it's easier to think efficiently more than trying to remember the formula
you have z = -1-i = sqrt(2)(cos(-3pi/4)+isin(-3pi/4))
so one root is sqrt(sqrt(2))(cos(-3pi/8)+isin(-3pi/8))
im just a little confused on that so are you able to dumb that down and help me easily get used to understanding it more
and the other is -sqrt(sqrt(2))(cos(-3pi/8)+isin(-3pi/8))
when you have a degree 2 polynomial like
x²-2
and you want to find roots
you solve x² = 2
the solutions are the two square roots of 2
one is sqrt(2)
the other is -sqrt(2)
bc (-x)² = x²
here, the same thing happens for w² = -1-i
there is a first root, sqrt(sqrt(2))(cos(-3pi/8)+isin(-3pi/8))
For f(x)=1/(x+3) , g(x)=1/(x-9) the domain of f(g(x)) would be (-inf,-3)U(-3,9)U(9,inf) right?
so the other is just -sqrt(sqrt(2))(cos(-3pi/8)+isin(-3pi/8))

sqrt(sqrt(2)) is just 4sqrt(2)
but i just wanted to plug them in to see if i got those right
you can just simplify in the cos and sin now
in each cos and sin there is a fraction
special triangles
with a sum in numerator
would that not be like
just simplify it
i made a special triangle with -3pi/4 as the angle and got -1/sqrt(2) where did i go wrong
you went wrong bc there is no cos(-3pi/4) anywhere
cos((-3pi/4)/2) and cos(-3pi/4) are not the same thing
in each cos and sine you have fractions
simplify that
oh shit whoops
cos(-3pi/4/2)
id multiply by 2 right?
would i multiply the two in the front of cos or the numerator inside the cos
(-3pi/4)/2 = -3pi/8
thanks
where would i go from there though?
given that i cant use like calculators or anything
to go further, you need to know cos and sin for the known angles
then you can use double angle formulas for example
so that you can deduce what cos and sin of -3pi/8 are
cos(-3pi/8) is sqrt((2-sqrt(2))/4)
can u get the bot to visualize
$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{8}) = \sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{4}}$
ty
Mélo
im curious to know if there's a way to get that w/o a calculator easily?
as well as with sin
I told you, double angle formula
my friend used some sort of exponential form on this question
i don't know if that would be easier or not than needing to do this
for complex numbers, we usually say there are 3 forms
the algebraic one, you're trying to find
the trigonometric one, which you've already found
and the exponential one, which is essentially the same as trig one, bc e^(itheta) = cos(theta)+isin(theta)

I don't get what they do after getting y=x
I was thinking we could rather apply triangle law of vector addition
But for that I don't know what to put in y=x

we have x,y,z in [0;π] and x+y+z=π
we might use complex numbers

if a tasks says "if y is true then prove that x is true", can i do the counter and assume that x is true and prove that y is true from it?
you want to prove the implication "if y is true then x is true"
an equivalent statement is "if x is not true then y is not true"
proving that "if x is true then y is true" is the converse and not the same statement
ah okay i get it
example:
If it rains, then the floor is wet
you may not be able to show that if the floor is wet then it rained
got it
there could be many other sources to make the floor wet

What am I doing wrong here
x cannot be 0
also x might be negative
this is the part where get confused
well you didn't even start with the question
you forgot to consider the 1/x < 0 part
which is only true for negative numbers, thus x<0
but how i see i got the inequality in the wrong way
Yeah, how I saw they do this, but why?
I cant multiply both sides with X?
you know when multiplying/dividing negative numbers, we need to flip the inequality
if you multiply by it on both sides, you have to flip the inequality sign
and it is also true when you multiply/divide x
1 < 2 but multiplying by -3 gives -3 > -6
Ahh and because x is a negative number in 1/x < 0 i should also flip it?
exactly
mhm
yes
but you don't have to because this is what your problem is saying
1/x < 0

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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
2
So the condition is that w1 + w2 + 2w3 + 2w4 = 0, I believe
I want to show that w1 + w2 + 2w3 + 2w4 = 0 <=> there exists a linear transformation st. T(v_i) = w_i
i have shown the backwards implication
but I don't know how to show the forwards implication
any help is appreciated
<@&286206848099549185>
you can define a linear map by what it does to a basis
here, you have an extra element
so what you'll need to double check is that when you extend by linearity, you end up doing the right thing to the extra element
e.g. you can define $T\colon V\to W$ by $$T(\lambda_1v_1+\lambda_2v_2+\lambda_3v_3)=\lambda_1w_1+\lambda_2w_2+\lambda_3w_3$$
which is well defined and linear because v1,v2,v3 is a basis
Edward II
which is well defined and linear because v1,v2,v3 is a basis
okay..
and then the only remaining property you need to show is $T(v_4)=w_4$
Edward II
how does this show the implication?
the forwards one, that is
you're going to use that property in showing this
because it clearly won't be true in general, as there's no way to getting a w4 when the definition of T only involves w1, w2, and w3
I see

Hello, I'm unsure of how to start this question?
I need assistance with solving it please and ty
same way u do it in decimal but with binary 
Long divisioooooooon
Instead of doing long division with 5 and 7 tho
but what is that way😭its hard to visualize not doing it the normal way
U do it with their binary representations
Well try doing it in decimal first
Then try converting 5 and 7 into binary
And try generalizing what you did in decimal
ngl doing this made me realize I forgot how to substract without a calculator 
but if I cna rederive it
So can u
like this?
Cmon u don't need me to check decimal long division :p
Do that but turn 7 and 5 into binary
binary is 0 and 1 correct
Ye
Um
How did you get this question 
no offense but if you didn't know what binary meant this might be harder than I thought 🙃
yeah none taken, i came here for that exact reason
i’m unsure of how to go about this
Is this for a class or what
Did u skip class or had to miss or what
^
Yeah but to not even know what binary means
what is it that i am missing
it’s 0 and 1
Feel like they would've taught you that
How long frkm now is the homework due? If it's a while maybe best to just wait til you cover more material
midnight
what
it’s 7:05 pm
OK r u sure u didn't skip or miss class
So weird
that’s y i’m untrained
well
I mean
They might as well have taught you nothing in class cus imma have to teach you everything 🙃
you know how decimal representation works at least?
like sum of digits between 0 and 9 times powers of 10
is that like saying 0.123 = 1/10 + 2/100 + 3/1000
Yeah
yes i know
by what you’re saying this is by power of 1 right
10*
Oh yeah
0.789 =
bruh🤦🏾♀️okay wait hold on
0.789=
7/2^1 + 8/2^2 + 9/2^3
???
wait
bruh i’m lost how do i get 0 and 1 out of .789 with powers of 2🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
hmm honestly I don't know the algorithm for how to convert a number with decimal points to binary off the top of my head 
But you just need to convert 5 and 7
Nah you don't need that
You can use the decimal equivalent of 5/7 and convert to binary
how so?
It's easier than you think
bet
The decimal equivalent of 5/7 is 0.7142857....
To convert a decimal number to binary, double the number, then the number left of the decimal point is the carry bit
Then you ignore the unit value and focus on the decimal part
Here's an example
0.188
You double it and get 0.376 that 0 in the units is the first binary digit
kool
Then take 0.376 double it and get 0.752 the 0 in the units is the next digit, etc. If it's a 1 then it's a 1 in the binary representation
np
Definitely more nice and simple then converting 5 and 7 into binary

i think they meant (x^139)^82 ...
x^138 = 1 so x^139 = x
wait
this is sus actually 
why do I even need to consider the 83=82+1
yeah i dont know anymore either
how are you meant to do this
wouldn't I need to find a primitive root first?

i asked before the best way to get the determinant, so i should reduce by rows the matrix and then use Laplace, but when i do row reduction, the matrix may not have the same determinant, so is this method only useful to know if the determinant of the original matrix is 0 or different from 0, or there's a row reduced matrix that has the same determinant as the first one
not all row operations conserve the determinant that's true
- "Ri <- Ri + k*Rj", that doesn't change the determinant
- swapping rows multiplies the det by -1
- "Rj <- k*Rj", that multiplies the det by k
you just have to keep track of which operations you take change the determinant
and then go through your row operations in reverse
"the determinant I get at the final step is 27, so the det at the step just before is ...etc"
