@near atlas does option 3 say the first derivative or the second

near atlas
#

option 3 is talking about the 1st derivative

quasi bison
#

oh OK that's my misread then

#

yes then option 2 is the only correct one

sharp sentinel
#

for 2, just use median value theorem thrice

lime dust
#

And you didn't need me to answer this question, which is better you to find out.

near atlas
sharp sentinel
#

Rolle's only works when f(a)=f(b)

#

MVT is much stronger theorem

lime dust
#

Tools are there to be used.

near atlas
#

i see. ill try to work out a proof with MVT

i feel like what ive done is probably wrong, i tried instead of using 7 and 4, using 2 and 1, since these are a lot easier to sketch, i then considered what the y-value is when we plug in x=1/2 into the functions, in which the y-value for the function in the integral I_1 is greater, so im assuming that i can perhaps extrapolate this for all the points 0<x<1 (not sure if this true tho would i have to prove it?) and then i can extrapolate it for the case of 7 and 4. this is likely to be wrong, how should i approach this instead? ty

latent mountain
#

Hey

safe radishBOT
latent mountain
#

Can I explain my approach?

rugged bluff
latent mountain
#

Okay so

#

If we expand what is given we get something like this:

x*[(1+x)^2]*[(2+x)^3]...... [(10+x)^11]

#

So if we write the general term for each

quasi bison
#

||here's a better question: what's the degree of this big product?||

latent mountain
#

It will look like:

x* [2Cr * 1^(2-r) * x^r] [ 3Cr * 2^(3-r) * x^r]....

latent mountain
#

is it 1+2+3....+11

#

so 66

#

Then?

mossy lotus
#

hint number 2 (following what ann said) ||how are the coefficients of a polynomial related to the factors||

latent mountain
#

uhh

#

Not sure

#

Something to do with factor theorem?

mossy lotus
#

if you have a polynomial (x-a)(x-b)(x-c), then what is the coefficient of the x^2 term?

latent mountain
#

-(a+b+c)

mossy lotus
mossy lotus
latent mountain
#

Oh ur talking about sum of roots and product of roots and all that?

mossy lotus
#

yep, vieta's

latent mountain
#

Okayy

#

So how do we use that?

#

Oh wait

mossy lotus
#

yep thats the question

latent mountain
#

So degree is 66

#

We need to find coeff of 65

#

which is the sum of roots

mossy lotus
latent mountain
#

-b/a

#

we need to find roots

#

which is easy

#

0 , -1, -2 ,-3.... -10

#

No wait

mossy lotus
#

yep, those are the roots

latent mountain
#

So sum of those would be 55

mossy lotus
#

sum of integers 0 to 10 is 55, yes

#

sum of all the roots tho?

latent mountain
#

Umm

mossy lotus
#

take a simpler example, what is are the roots of (x+1)(x+1)? what is the coefficient of x in that?

latent mountain
#

root is -1

#

coef is 2

#

Oh wait you have to count -1 two times

mossy lotus
#

yep!

latent mountain
#

so for this it would be 0 - 1 - 1 -2 - 2 - 2....-10 ten times

mossy lotus
#

mhm

latent mountain
#

How do you find that sum tho?

mossy lotus
#

notice a pattern in that

#

or just add them up

latent mountain
#

Its an AGP?

mossy lotus
#

whatever you feel easy

latent mountain
#

Oh yea Ik this

#

But what was wrong in my method?

mossy lotus
#

or am i trippin

latent mountain
#

What if they give something like find coeff of x^34

mossy lotus
#

then you are cooked

#

I would not wanna be in your shoes at that moment

latent mountain
#

I tried writing the general term for each expansion

#

x* [2Cr * 1^(2-r) * x^r] [ 3Cr * 2^(3-r) * x^r]....

mossy lotus
#

does not make me wanna solve this, I would just skip it

latent mountain
#

Yea so if we add the powers of x,

#

We get x^(1+10r)

#

And we want 1+10r = 65

mossy lotus
#

wait what?

#

where did this come from?

latent mountain
mossy lotus
latent mountain
latent mountain
mossy lotus
#

not really, like why do you get x^(1+10r)?

latent mountain
#

x* [2Cr * 1^(2-r) * x^r] [ 3Cr * 2^(3-r) * x^r]....

#

In this focus on the powers of x

mossy lotus
#

like ok, but thats just one such term, and you are not even sure you would get r such terms every time

latent mountain
#

you have xx^rx^r...

mossy lotus
#

like for r = 5, you dont have enough number of terms from i=2 or 3 and so on

latent mountain
#

Yes you are absolutely right!

#

I took r terms for every general term

#

K that clears everything up then

mossy lotus
latent mountain
#

hmmm

mossy lotus
#

you would need to do massive amounts of calculations, womething no one expects you to do in an exam

latent mountain
#

yup

#

Thanks for ur help

mossy lotus
#

np

latent mountain
#

How do I end this?

mossy lotus
#

type .solved

terse delta
#

Hello so i’m having trouble solving sutitution integrals. i can do integrals by parts but with substitution choosing an “U” is being a mess to me rn .

stoic saddle
#

which one

terse delta
#

no like almost all of them

#

i need like a summary of where i should get U

#

for example someone told me if we have ln(something) and like a function the best thing is to choose all the ln(something) as u and derívate it then getting du etc etc

cobalt thunder
#

this sort of thing comes with experience

#

a general rule is if the du cancels something from the expression, then you should be on the right track

#

for example for (a), taking
u = x^2,
you get
du = 2xdx,
and since you have an x in your expression, that x will be swallowed by the du, so it should be good

terse delta
#

just did this, good )?

cobalt thunder
#

so you just kind of try random stuff and watch out for whether anything gets canceled; eventually you'll notice patterns but there's so many patterns that they can't really be taught

cobalt thunder
terse delta
#

now i’ll do this . will be back in a secs

#

so should i choose cos 2x as u ? @cobalt thunder

#

sorry for ping

#

and then the derívate is -sen 2x and i put the - to the other side and it is -du = sen 2x

cobalt thunder
#

yeah, exactly!

terse delta
#

ok that looks good

#

brb

cobalt thunder
cobalt thunder
terse delta
#

oh fuck forgot that

#

i’ll do it again

#

so u

#

1 +cos 2x
du= -sen 2x * 2
-du/2 = sen 2x

#

that’s ok ?

#

@cobalt thunder

sinful thicket
#

sorry to interrupt, i just never seen sen in trigonometry 😭😭

#

oh is it just made up value

terse delta
#

yeh it’s in spanish it’s sen here

#

but it’s the same

cobalt thunder
terse delta
#

maybe i did something wrong

fierce nimbus
#

Keep going

#

I’d simplify it before plugging in ur bounds tho

hello! I have three questions i need to get done for homework tomorrow but I'm struggling. Its algebra/geometry?? simultaneous equations basically. I'd appreciate if someone could show how to do it with some small explanation notes, i already have the awnser but how i get it is what i struggle with. this is the first question i need help with! : 3x - 2y = 8
x + y = 6

@coarse sky have you learned elimination and/or substitution methods?

#

if both, is there an instruction to use a specific one for this question in particular?

#

I dont think so, maybe that's why i struggle with it. I know formulas partly

Multiply eq (2) by 3 u get:
3x+3y=6 call this eq (3)
Then subtract eq (1) by eq (3)
Eg
Eq (1) - Eq (3) gives:
-5y=-10
Y=2
Sub y= 2 into eq (1) or eq (2) or eq (3) and find x
[NOTE subbing into eq (3) is dumb because its equivalent to eq (2)]

For example sub y=2 into eq (2) giving us
X+2=6 so x=4

As a row vector the solution to this simultaneous eq is:
(4,2)

#

This process is the elimination method

woven fjord
#

They said they have 3

woven fjord
normal moss
#

I don't understand your point

woven fjord
normal moss
#

One equation is more than enough to teach them how to solve these systems in general

#

I disagree.

woven fjord
#

Then he can do the ither 2 himself

woven fjord
normal moss
#

You showed him how to solve this specific system, by showing every step. But they get no insight into why we did any of the steps

#

And that is by far the most important part in math

woven fjord
normal moss
#

And while it seems intuitive to you, not everyone understands it, especially those dealing with it for the first time

woven fjord
#

Ok well sorry mb

woven fjord
#

Then i subtracted to get rid of the second variable

#

This is now simply a equation in one variable which is easy to solve if u can't solve this i suggest u go back and learn elementary algebra

#

After solving i can sub that value in for any of the equations and solve for the second variable

#

For completeness check ur answers via re subbing in to every equation

woven fjord
#

I learnt maths by following a worked solution

#

So lets not lie

coarse sky
#

Everyone learns different

#

💕

#

Thanks for ur help! And sorry if i diddnt understand some words, i dont learn math in English so some things are a little confusing ^^

normal moss
# woven fjord Also this is a false statement

Well.
Reading solutions is known as passive learning. The learner doesn't make decisions, try to reason or experiment. Research proves that active learning is what builds actual understanding.
To add on, just following the steps teaches procedures, as I mentioned before, not concepts. They might learn to multiply both sides of an equation by (-2) in an example but won't have any clue when, how, or why to do it in an another one.

This also taps in our memory. Reading the steps can overload our working memory because of too much information (symbols, words, equations, and no sense of logic or organization). If we don't think about the why, much of that information is deemed "useless" to us and does not move to long-term memory (very dumbed down).

Also, there are two massive downsides.

  1. No error-based learning: making mistakes and correcting them is crucial for learning. You know the saying "we learn from our mistakes". Solved solutions do not allow this.
  2. Just reading solutions can create a very false sense of understanding. They might think they get it because they got to the end and the steps made sense, but they won't be able to reproduce or apply the process elsewhere themselves.

Yes, when it comes to relatively 'basic' things like this system of equations, just learning through the solved example may suffice. But if you count on it too much, I guarantee it is not enough for higher level maths (even if you don't decide to pursue math later, in late highschool). It's much harder to fix a problem that becomes apparent later, when it could have been fixed relatively easily sooner (like here).

#

And I mean this with no disrespect whatsoever. But ask any professor, they will tell you that the why is fundemental.

woven fjord
#

Especially elementary algebra watching a worked solution is easier to learn imo

main musk
#

what works for u might not work for someone else tho kot

woven fjord
#

And obviously i was refuting him bc he said worked solutions dont help at all

#

Which is in fact false as it depends on the person such as me ive learnt elementary algebra very easily just by watching tons of worked solutions

main musk
woven fjord
#

Alr

#

Well i think this help channel is done .close?

normal moss
# woven fjord Which is in fact false as it depends on the person such as me ive learnt element...

Well, see, your success here doesn't necessarily disprove the principle I mentioned. Some people are naturally more intuitive in math. You can look at a worked solution and automatically infer the underlying concepts without needing explicit explanation, especially in areas like elementary algebra. You might generalize from examples better than most, be better at spotting patterns and reasoning principles that others would miss ...

#

But this is far from the norm - most people need guidance, reasoning, and active engagement to truly understand and retain the material

woven fjord
#

Thats the issue here

#

U just said "Nobody learns math if they just read what to do"

normal moss
#

Yes, my original sentence was phrased poorly. "nobody" was not appropriate

#

I apologize for that

#

I didn't mean it as absolute nobody, but obviously you can't read my thoughts 😅

#

"Nobody learns math if ..." sounded better in my head than "most people don't learn math if ..."

woven fjord
#

Yea ic sorry for being mean i just got annoyed lol cuz the sentence sounded a bit aggressive :( 😖

#

(also ill avoid giving sols from now on unless theres like 10 questions then ill give a sol for 1)

normal moss
#

You can think about it this way: say we have 2x - 4 = 8. We want to solve for x. Of course you can just tell them: move 4 to the right side, we get 2x = 12. divide by 2, we get x = 6.
But then they stumble upon 1/5x + 2 = 12. again, this seems intuitive to me and you, but that's because we have learned way past this by now. Right, they will remember we moved the 4, so I guess we move the 2. We get 1/5x = 14. you would be surprised by how many people would add two instead of subtracting But then they'd get stuck with 1/5x = 14. What do we multiply by? But if we explained why we can add/subtract the same amount of both sides, because it preserves equality and explained that we want to isolate x (which means undoing the operation), and we do that by multiplying/dividing both sides, they would understand the principle, not just the steps. They would think "oh, I need to isolate x -> so I will first subtract 2 on both sides, because I can do that and I know why, working towards my goal to isolate x -> now I have 1/5x, and to isolate x, I need to undo the operation, so I need to multiply both sides by 5 to undo 1/5 ... and so on
And so this becomes kind of a "tool" that flows from understanding, having an idea of what they are trying to work towards, not just doing random steps, not knowing why

#

This is just a quick example I made up, but I hope it's understandable

#

So they move from thinking "I move the 4, then divide by 2" into "I'm trying to isolate x, so I'll need to reverse the operations that were applied to it, one at a time"

#

whats the original question

#

all i see is
cal compon
de then fin

true cypress
#

that is the question. just those 2

#

oh

#

sorry

hardy lion
#

trig ratios are defined using SOHCAHTOA

#

you cant gain information by using the x axis as a reference, so you use the y axis

#

imagine rotating the image 90 degrees counterclockwise

#

,rotate 90 ccw

flat frigateBOT
hardy lion
#

now you look for the horizontal component

hardy lion
true cypress
#

i was not able to identify that

#

oh i see

#

but why would using x axis not work?

hardy lion
#

you would need to know the angle a vector makes to the x axis

#

whoch is possible, but it requires some extra work

true cypress
#

so cant we imagine 3v and 65 degrees attached to x axis?

hardy lion
#

no, because the 65deg measures the angle between the two vectors

#

not V1 and the x axis

true cypress
#

i see, so basically what you are saying is, there is insufficient information for us to use the x axis

#

so it would be beneficial

#

to use the y axis

hardy lion
#

there is sufficient information, its just more work

true cypress
#

im going to try them both

#

so from what i understand

#

if the vertical distances are equal

#

we can evenly split 115 degrees on the top end of 3v

#

and lower end of 5v

#

or wait nvm

#

idk why they gave such a confusing diagram

hardy lion
#

yes, we know theta' and theta sum to 115

true cypress
#

so if we are rotating it clockwise and the dashed line is basically the length

#

if we know that those lengths are equal

#

cant we say the angle of theta and theta'

#

are the same

hardy lion
#

no

true cypress
#

ok i get it now.

#

do uk any resources

#

with problems of this level

#

this the only one the prof assigned

don't i just do
12+sqrt(x) > 0
sqrt(x) > -12
x > 144

lime dust
#

What?

#

That doesn't make sense.

#

Read what you wrote.

#

Sqrt(x) is never < 0

#

and in R is only defined for x>0

#

since sqrt(x) is always positive...

#

what would be the domain then?

hot stone
#

right

#

i thought i would set up the domain of log as (___) > 0 just like how log(x+1) is set up as x+1 > 0

#

i forgot that it's different with this problem because there's a square root in there

pearl ruin
#

yeah ok, so i will do 4(6p-9) then 1(6p-9)

#

right?

fierce nimbus
#

Not only are u wrong about the second part but what would multiplying by 1 do

#

Ignore the 1 and evaluate the multiplication first

#

If it was 7+4(6p-9) you’d evaluate 4(6p-9) then add ur answer with the 7

For this problem here, I don’t understand why I keep getting that as my acceleration

fresh birch
#

I have to solve for a and T

gritty pasture
#

hello

fresh birch
#

Hi

gritty pasture
#

what's the original question

#

so masses are 8, 2, and 8?

#

and mu is 0.2?

fresh birch

and what are we solving for

the tension?

#

Thank you

#

I’m taking upward as positive

gritty pasture
#

in here you wrote one g as -9.8, and the other as 9.8

fresh birch
#

Not downward

#

Right, so

#

My q is

#

If it’s already - f sub f

#

And downward is negative

#

Do I still make that g negative?

gritty pasture
#

you should make g negative

#

because

#

you're subtracting that in the first place, because it opposes the force of the 8kg mass

fresh birch
#

Right, so

fresh birch
gritty pasture
#

yes

fresh birch
#

Even if it’s already - f sub f?

gritty pasture
#

i usually do downwards positive so its confusing me just a little

#

1 sec

fresh birch
#

Kk

#

And then is T-0.2(8x-9.8)=8a correct for the tension?

gritty pasture
#

I didn't solve for the tension

#

but put the 2 and 8 kg masses individually, and label the forces on them to calculate the tension

fresh birch
#

Nvm

#

Got it

0 is a single point. even if it were to turn out a solution, you could just discard it.

flat frigateBOT

#

@near atlas this is your official permission slip to extend the domain of g by that one point

#

in the name of making your life easier

#

and allowing yourself to consider g as a polynomial function in its own right

#

being aware of its connection to the original question but NOT binding yourself with absolute rigidity to it

near atlas
#

well then, with that there's only one root, between 0 and 1 but can you explain why we can do such a thing

quasi bison
#

because there are no gods

#

[INSERT DEITY NAME HERE] won't smite you with lightning for allowing yourself to extend g to be defined also at x=0

it still doesn't sit right with me tho

Someone please explain: The following Diagram shows 2 triabgles OBC and OBA on a set of axis. Point C lies on the Y axis and O is the origin

the area of AOB is 3 times the area of OBC
Di find the area of triangle OBC in terms of a
Dii find the area of triangle AOB
Diii find the X coordinate of point A

gritty pasture
#

,rotate

flat frigateBOT
gritty pasture
#

the area of AOB is 3x the area of OBC

#

what's the question@gimmi

#

@ocean path

#

are all of them questions?

ocean path
#

Js explain part d to me

#

The following Diagram shows 2 triabgles OBC and OBA on a set of axis. Point C lies on the Y axis and O is the origin

the area of AOB is 3 times the area of OBC
Di find the area of triangle OBC in terms of a
Dii find the area of triangle AOB
Diii find the X coordinate of point A

gritty pasture
#

is this also a statement?

#

the equation of the line BC is y = 4

#

or is that an assumption for another question

#

and this

ocean path
#

I js need to check wether I got Di and Dii correct
also Dii is supposed to be in terms of a aswell 1 more thing I got no clue how to find the x coord of A for Diii

gritty pasture
#

so point B is at (a, 4)

#

so I would assume the area is gonna be 2a

#

is that what you got?

#

and AOB is triple so just 6a

#

@ocean path you got the same?

#

2a and 6a for the triangles

gritty pasture
#

ok

#

and you need help solving Diii

#

so the x coordinate of point A is just gonna be the length of OA, since O is 0, 0 at the origin

#

and we know that the area of triangle OAB is 6a

#

so the base (AO) x height x 1/2 = 6a

flat frigateBOT
#

lifehealer

gritty pasture
#

So which of these variables do we know?

#

We're trying to figure out the length of the base, AO

ocean path
ocean path
gritty pasture
#

yep correct

#

so 6a = 0.5(4)(AO)

#

you see where all this is coming from right

#

the x coordinate of A is just gonna be the length of AO

#

since A is a horizontal line starting from the origin

Find an entire function ( f ) such that it's real part is
[
u(x,y) = x^4 - 6x^2y^2 + y^4 + 2xy
]
and ( f(0) = 2i. )

so far i got here
[\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}= 4x^3-12xy^2+2y=\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}\implies v= 4x^3y-4xy^3+y^2+C(y)]
[\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}= -12x^2y+4y^3+2x=-\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}\implies v= 4x^3y-4xy^3-x^2+C(x)]

I’m not sure where to go from here, how to prove

plucky elk
#

for the first one you just need 1 <= 1 + x^2

#

for the second you need x^2 <= 1 for x in [-1, 1]

midnight spindle
#

im not quite following

#

why is the intergral dropped

plucky elk
#

You plug the inequalities into the integral

plucky elk
midnight spindle
#

one moment

#

not seeing anytthing that rings a bell

plucky elk
midnight spindle
#

1 moment

#

its not in a list form

#

but more like notes

#

this would be the relevant one then right?

#

because sqrt(1+x^2) is continuous on [-1,1]

If $f(x) \geq M > 0$, then $\int_a^b f(x) dx \geq \int_a^b M dx = M(b-a)$

flat frigateBOT

more like something like this

midnight spindle
plucky elk
#

no it's exactly applying 3

midnight spindle
#

im not following again

plucky elk
#

your m is incorrect

#

you're also plugging the thing you're trying to prove into the inequality in 3

#

but what you should be doing is finding the things in 3 to conclude the inequality at the end of the problem

#

start by identifying f(x)

midnight spindle
#

ok

#

like this then?

plucky elk
#

how did you find m and M?

midnight spindle
#

Using the derivative of f(x) to find min/max of the function

#

On this interval

plucky elk
#

Your m and M do look correct but i don't see how you got it from your work

midnight spindle
#

1 moment

#

I found the critical point

#

then checked that along with the end points

#

so this should give me the min/max of this interval

balmy shale

can somebody explain what this means

safe radishBOT
open wedge
#

When you say something like: a person's height is around 1.5m-1.6m, how would you understand it?

balmy shale
#

well there 160cm tall

#

idk i just understand 1.6m

balmy shale
#

i make it 1.6

#

m

errant bison
#

Like max is 1.6

balmy shale
#

i don’t understand the question

#

i round up if there in that range and above 155cm to 1.6m?

open wedge
balmy shale
#

i know how tall that is compared to me

open wedge
balmy shale
#

like i’d say he’s up to my shoulder

open wedge
balmy shale
#

yeah

open wedge
#

So we say 1.5m is the lower bound

#

And 1.6m is the upper bound

open wedge
balmy shale
#

oh so 0 is lower bound and 20 is upper

open wedge
balmy shale
#

okay

#

we never got told how to do that

#

or what it means

#

so maybe it’s just common sense lol

open wedge

I got stuck on the following problem: A wall is decorated with vases, an awful lot of 'em, we know that they are disposed in rows, on the first row there is 4 vases, and in the next one there is 3 more. The pattern repeats. Determine the number of rows, knowing that there are a total of 531 vases.

gray verge
#

And here's what I tried:

#

$$\frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} (n+1) = 1062$$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

gray verge
#

w, \frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} (n+1) = 1062

#

,w \frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} (n+1) = 1062

flat frigateBOT
left gyro
#

you need to be more specific when throwing things into wolfram alpha

#

first and foremost its just a calculator, it cant solve math for you

gray verge
#

yeah sorry+

left gyro
#

you have to describe exactly what it is you need calculating

#

in this case it wont help you out

left gyro
gray verge
gray verge
#

from the first

#

to the nth term

#

then I solve for n

#

opps

#

hold it

#

$$\frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} (n+1) = 531$$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

gray verge
#

there was a typo

#

and this is...

#

$$\frac{4 + 1 + 3n}{2} (n+1) = 531$$

#

damn it

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

gray verge
#

there

#

now

compact plover
#

might wanna step back and think what the sum of u_n actually does

gray verge
#

wdym?

#

it sums

#

all the values of the terms

#

so

compact plover
#

have u observed any patterns?

gray verge
#

yeah

#

u_n = 1 + 3n

compact plover
#

yes

gray verge
#

the 4 is u_1

compact plover
#

mhm

gray verge
#

I just substituted

#

now, I'm gonna see if it was an algebra problem

#

,w \frac{4 + 1 + 3n}{2} (n+1) = 531

flat frigateBOT
gray verge
#

yup

#

I think it is

compact plover
#

n needs to be an integer value

gray verge
#

oh yeah

#

forget it

compact plover
#

so here's what you should consider

#

do you know the formula for 1+2+3+4+...+n?

gray verge
#

yeah

compact plover
#

if yes, you should know how to calculate 3+6+9+12+15+...

#

if you can do that, then you can do 4+7+10+13+...

left gyro
#

ngl that is a surprisingly quick way to get the same formula

#

you can do it this way because theres less room for error

#

its always good to get the same answer through two different methods

gray verge
#

but I did the formula, I

left gyro
#

it would help to know how many numbers are being added

left gyro
#

when Im in this situation, Id look for another

#

see if that lines up too

gray verge
#

sorry, I did an enter by accident, I didn't mean to send that

compact plover
#

dw about being wrong, its just learning

gray verge
left gyro
#

Im not focusing on this problem rn but I wouldve literally just added the numbers together directly with a calculator to see that this lines up

compact plover
#

fishthonk cant remember how many times i got math wrong at this point

left gyro
#

dw stands for "dont worry"

compact plover
compact plover
#

figured it out?

gray verge
#

do I send that out

#

or just the formula

compact plover
#

if you already understand the deduction, just send the formula

gray verge
#

$$\frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} \times (n+1)$$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

compact plover
#

let me wrack my brain if this can be used for u_n as well

gray verge
#

in this case it would be: $$\frac{1 + n}{2} \times (n+1)$$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

gray verge
#

since $u_n = n$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

#

ack slow internet

gray verge
#

so slow you can't receive messages, damn

#

no offense intended

compact plover
gray verge
#

give me a sec

#

yeah

#

nop

#

you're right

#

it's $\frac{u_1 + u_n}{2} \times n$

flat frigateBOT
#

ℕ∈ℝD ALERT: Gonçalo Gonçalves

gray verge
#

sorry

#

at least it's what my texbook says

#

I'm gonna go lunch, I didn't expect it to be ready this soon, I'll go over why I though it was n -1 in a sec ok?

compact plover
#

k lil bro

safe radishBOT
#

@gray verge Has your question been resolved?

gray verge
#

I'm back

#

so I though it was n -1 because the last term was not included, which is wrong

winged flare
gray verge
#

I just noticed that

gray verge
#

,w 3n^2 + 5n -1062 = 0

flat frigateBOT
gray verge
#

Alright

#

the logic checks out, now I'll do the algebra

compact plover
#

never knew there was a formula like that

#

tbh i just did 3(x)(x+1)/2+x=531 and solved stuff

gray verge
compact plover
#

just the sum 3x+1 split into 3x and 1
repeated 3+6+...+3n=3(n)(n+1)/2
1 is repeated n times
so, n+3n(n+1)/2

gray verge
#

neat

desert pasture
#

Let $\abs{G}=120$. Find all isomorphism classes, given there are 3 elements of $G$ of order $2$.

flat frigateBOT
desert pasture
#

If there are 3 elements of $G$ of order $2$. there must be 3 elements in the direct product of order $2$

flat frigateBOT
desert pasture
#

$120 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5$

flat frigateBOT
desert pasture
#

Beyond this I'm lost

astral glacier
#

What's an isomorphism class

desert pasture
#

Oh, I got an idea

desert pasture
astral glacier
#

Is that standard terminology

desert pasture
astral glacier
#

First time I'm hearing of it

#

Anyway

#

Do you want help or do you wanna try out your idea first

desert pasture
#

I'll try mine

cedar widget
astral glacier
#

No I get that

#

It's just the first time I've heard it referred to as an isomorphism class

desert pasture
#

there is 1 element in Z_2 of order 2 and 1 in 5

#

which confuses me

astral glacier
#

Expand the second half of that statement

#

Are you saying there is 1 element in Z5 with order 2?

#

Cuz if so that's incorrect

desert pasture
#

yes

#

3

#

0 has order 1

astral glacier
#

How does 3 have order 2

#

3+3 = 6 = 1 ≠ 0

desert pasture
#

oops

#

right

#

wait, it has no element of order 2

astral glacier
#

That's correct

#

All elements of Z_p have order p

#

Other than 0 ofc

desert pasture
#

F

#

forgot that

#

Well, what If I write 120 as 2x2x3x10

astral glacier
#

Let's do this systematically

#

120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

#

The 3 and 5 cannot contribute an element of order 2

#

And if you want three elements of order 2, you gotta keep the 2's separate

#

With me so far?

desert pasture
#

yes

astral glacier
#

Good

desert pasture
#

oh, I get it now

astral glacier
#

So what are your options now
