#

it's not.

#

so no need for the absolute value

#

wait no.

#

ok the exact opposite

#

for x>4 its negative

#

its always negative

magic junco
#

So what can it be simplified to

mighty mango
#

does that mean... you can remove the absolute value for a negative sign..?

magic junco
#

Yep

mighty mango
#

Im not convinced.

#

😡

magic junco
#

Look, everything comes out from abs should be positive

#

If something if guaranteed to be negative inside the abs value, just give it another negative sign to convert it

mighty mango
#

ooooh

#

okay yeah im convinced.

#

I forgot negative x negative = positive for a hot secxond

magic junco
#

This is your original q

mighty mango
magic junco
mighty mango
#

that's with replacment

#

oh

#

shit

#

that?

magic junco
#

I’ve actually omitted something in this process, which is called the piecewise function

#

Have you heard of it before?

mighty mango
#

yeah differentiating twice is 48

magic junco
#

How did you get 48?

mighty mango
#

like

#

x^2 and 2x

#

from

mighty mango
#

one period

#

and the other

#

yeah

magic junco
#

It’s also a technique used when describing complicated functions containing abs

mighty mango
magic junco
#

Oh shit

#

Forgot that

#

Lmfao

mighty mango
#

no problem!

magic junco
#

yeah, looks like that’s the entire thing

#

I’ve answered everything

mighty mango
#

alright

#

ty you and

#

blurple

#

sorry had to scroll

magic junco
#

But not that important in this question since looks like you’ve done it smoothly

mighty mango
#

yes! I really really hope there isn't a "get the derivative by graph" method

#

alright.

can someone teach me #4 how to find the range

#

I got one of the ranges but I am not sure whether or not I need to consider f(x)

safe radishBOT
#

@weary island Has your question been resolved?

tardy mango
# weary island

I'd just go for the fact that
$$f(x)=1-\frac{13}{x+7}$$ and use the fact that $\frac{13}{x+7}$ can't be $0$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
#

If you want the range of $f(f(x))$, you can then note that the range of the "inner" $f(x)$ is what you're inputting into the "outer" $f(x)$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
weary island
#

I dont think the denominator can be zero

tardy mango
flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
tardy mango
#

that would give you 13/0

#

that's not zero

#

in fact, that would give you undefined

#

because, as you said, you can't divide by zero

weary island
#

right my bad I meant 13/x+7 can be 0 when f(x) = 1-13/x+7

#

because f(x) =1

#

oh

#

wait

#

13/x+7 won't be zero because the denominator can't be zero

tardy mango
#

you're dividing something that isn't zero by another number

#

dividing a number by infinitely larger numbers (in terms of magnitude) makes the result go closer to zero

#

but you never actually get a result of zero

#

,w graph 1/x, y=0, 0<x<1000

flat frigateBOT
tardy mango
#

,w graph y=1/x and y=0

flat frigateBOT
weary island
#

This question only came up because for some reason the domain of f(x) is included in f(f(x))

#

and I am confused by why we won't do the same thing with the range

tardy mango
flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
#

so if the inner f(x) isn't even defined, then there's no way you can get a value for the outer f(x)

#

ex. consider $f(f(x))$ where $f(x)=1/x$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
#

If you go through the algebra, it appears as if $f(f(x))=x$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
#

but note that for x=0, the "inner" f(x) is 1/0

#

which is undefined

#

you can't put 1/0 into f because 1/0 isn't defined

#

that's why we need to deal with when the "inner" function is defined when finding when a composition of functions is defined

#

in essence, there's two things you need to exclude:

  • values that aren't in the domain of the inner function
  • values that are in the domain of the inner function but give the inner function a value that makes the outer function undefined
tardy mango
tardy mango
#

and hence the range of f(f(x)) is just the range of $f(x)$ for $x \neq 1$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
#

I'm lost are you trying to answer my question with an example?

weary island
weary island
#

OH so you are saying that when we plug f(x) = x-6/x+7 in the equation

#

and the only undefined value is 1 for thr range

#

and the range of f(f(x) is defined therefore it is a possible value?

tardy mango
weary island
#

which I found from the range of f(x)

tardy mango
#

So you're asking if 1 is in the range of f(f(x))?

weary island
#

because I am trying to figure out why the range (restrictions) of f(x) does not exist for f(f(x)

tardy mango
#

try to find the value of x that would give f(f(x))=1

weary island
#

I got -7

#

and that was one of the domain restrictions on f(f(x))

tardy mango
#

mhm

#

like I said earlier, the range of f(g(x)) is the same as the range of f(x) over a domain that is the range of g(x)

weary island
#

wdym range of f(x) over a domain (which is the range of g(x)

weary island
# tardy mango mhm

wait but if we say that y is 1 and that gave us a domain restriction for f(f(x)) doesn't that mean 1 also cannot be included in the range?

tardy mango
flat frigateBOT

#

hello?

weary island
#

idk what to reply with

weary island
#

does it contradict

weary island
#

nvm I don't want to waste your time I'll just check the range by inputting the restricted range in and seeing if it becomes a domain restriction. Thank you though

said value being 1 in this case

#

How do I open

tardy mango
weary island
tardy mango
#

yeah that was just a coincidence if you will since you're putting f back into f, so if 1 isn't in the range of f, then "redoing" f isn't magically going to put 1 back into the range

tardy mango
flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
#

no 0 can be in the range of f(f(x)

#

cus when we input 0 into f(f(x) = (-2x-1)/x+1. we get a value

weary island
tardy mango
#

and what happens when you calculate the "inner" f(x) at this value

weary island
weary island
#

so f(x) = 1/x+1 when x= -1/2 then f(x) = 1/0.5

#

or 2

tardy mango
#

are you sure you didn't mess up the algebra

weary island
#

no because for f(f(x) I got y= -x-1/x+2

#

then when I tried to find the range

#

I swapped x and y

#

I got -2x-1/x+1

tardy mango
#

so you found the inverse of $f(f(x))$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
#

but the range of $f(f(x))$ is the same as the domain of the inverse of $f(f(x))$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
#

did I find the wrong thing?

tardy mango
#

$f(f(x))=0 \implies (f(f(0)))^{-1}=x$

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

tardy mango
weary island
weary island
tardy mango
#

In words, if $0$ was in the range of $f(f(x))$, then we'd need to find a value of $x$ such that $f(f(x))=0$. Taking the inverse of both sides, this implies that $x=(f(f(0)))^{-1}$, aka the value of $x$ that would make this happen is the result of inputting $0$ into the inverse of $f \circ f$. What you did earlier was solving $(f(f(x)))^{-1}=0$, which is the same as finding $f(f(0))$.

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
#

so you are saying if f(x) = 0

#

and f(f(x) = 0

#

and both values of x are the same

#

meaning that f(f(x) should be true and therefore the range of f(x) is included in the function f(f(x)

#

and you are trying to tell me that this is generalizable for everything?

tardy mango
#

my point here was that if a value isn't in the range of f, then no matter times you compose f with itself, that value will still never be in the range

weary island
tardy mango
#

idk what this is supposed to mean

#

the values that are not in the range of f(x) should not be in the range of f(f(x))

weary island
weary island
weary island
tardy mango
#

Take $g(x)=\frac{x^2}{x}$ and $f(x)=x-1$ at $x=1$.

flat frigateBOT
#

Civil Service Pigeon

weary island
#

g(x) excludes 0 for range

#

f(x) is also all real numbers for range

tardy mango
weary island
tardy mango
#

mhm

weary island
#

oh

#

so g(x) cannot be zero thus f(g(x)) also cannot be -1

tardy mango
#

my main point here was to show that even though 0 is not in the domain of g, 0 is in the range of f(g(x))

weary island
#

so we can't generalize f(f(x)) by saying if the range of f(x) =0 (0 cannot be in the range) that means for f(f(x) (0 also cannot be in the range)

@soft lava Has your question been resolved?

soft lava
#

So I know we don’t have x intercepts because y=0 since the degree of the numerator and the denominator are the same. But this does not look rigjt. Why can I find points using x=3,-1 but the points for them appear on the graph

#

And there isn’t a hole disc there

# hard jacinth

alright, may I ask what you have tried or proved already about the two triangles?

My assumption is this. AG = DB, then OA is bisector, hence AG/GO = AB/OB. It then kinda leads to the relation we need

@hard jacinth Has your question been resolved?

hard jacinth
#

Oh wait i figured that out

hard jacinth
#

Drawing DH and DH1 on AB and AC gives S(ABD) = 1/2 * DM * AB and S(ADC) = 1/2 * DH1 * AC

#

triangles DAH1 and DAH are equal, and so do DH1 and DH

#

Then S(ABD)/S(ADC) = AB/AC

hard jacinth
#

AB/AC = DB/DC

#

Bd/ab=dc/ac

mate figured out while I was gone

that's definitely more concise than the parallel line solution

prisma light
#

hello i need help for my test tomorow i have to proove the existence part in the euclidienne division (sorry for bad english)

safe radishBOT
#

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

prisma light
#

you are here ?!

restive niche
#

yes

prisma light
#

okkk

#

so you saw what i write before ?!

restive niche
prisma light
#

yes i am

#

it woulkd be awsome

restive niche
# prisma light yes i am

ok until then, what exactly do you mean by "existence part of euclidean division", do you mean that the remainder exists or quotient exists?

prisma light
#

yeah like we have two part in our demo for the euclidienne division its first that there is only on couple and then that couple exist

restive niche
#

oh ok so both quotient and remainder

#

so what have you tried?

#

you are given a number a and you have to divide it by b

prisma light
#

Yes

restive niche
#

you want to find couple q and r so that a = bq + r

prisma light
#

Exact

restive niche
#

if i consider the sequence b,2b,3b,..., it will exceed a right?

prisma light
#

I can send you my lesson if you wanna see

restive niche
#

so consider the first point in the sequence where it will exceed a

prisma light
#

Well b(q+1) > a nah ?

restive niche
#

yes, what can you say about bq?

bq <= a or bq > a?

prisma light
#

bq<a or equal if r=0 ?

#

So bq<=a

restive niche
#

and do you agree that a = bq + (a-bq) and also we just discussed that bq <= a < b(q+1)

prisma light
#

Humm how did you figure that

restive niche
prisma light
#

Oh ok well why not

restive niche
#

what can you say about a - bq?

#

use the fact that bq <= a < b(q+1)

prisma light
#

0<=a-bq<b(q+1)-bq

restive niche
#

b(q+1) - bq = b

prisma light
#

Yup

restive niche
#

so 0 <= a-bq < b

prisma light
#

Okkk yeah

restive niche
#

if i call a-bq = r, what does a = bq + (a-bq) become into?

#

a = bq + r, and 0 <= r < b

prisma light
#

a= bq+r

restive niche
#

yes, and also 0 <= r < b which is important

prisma light
restive niche
#

so such a couple exists

prisma light
#

We did this

restive niche
prisma light
#

Ya kinda

restive niche
# prisma light Ya kinda

so what is your question? can you write it on your own now or do you have any question regarding the proof in your class

prisma light
#

I dont understand the first part of the second page

#

You the A

restive niche
#

i dont know french, but it looks like they are handling the case when a and b have different signs

prisma light
#

Its a bout every set A not empty got a smaller element

restive niche
#

yes, every set of positive numbers has smallest element

prisma light
#

Yes but he dont precis that its only positive

restive niche
#

we are assuming b > 0 right?

prisma light
#

Yes

restive niche
#

so {bq | q\in N, bq > a} is positive

prisma light
#

Oh okk

#

And b is in A so ?

restive niche
#

i didnt understand what you mean

prisma light
#

b is include in the set A right ?

restive niche
#

so we cannot say if b is included or not

prisma light
#

Ok i see

restive niche
#

but we know A has positive elements only

prisma light
#

And last question what is p=a+1

restive niche
#

he prove that A is not empty

#

because b(a+1) > a

#

so a+1 in A

prisma light
restive niche
prisma light
#

Ohhh ok

#

So p(a+1)

#

I see

restive niche
#

p = a+1 yes

prisma light
#

Hummmmkayy

Thanks you sm man

daring forge
#

hi i am trying to rewrite this in symbolic logic

daring forge
#

i didnt understand what he said in the video

keen tulip
#

Write the first part first

For every epsilon greater than 0

daring forge
split kayak
#

now the following part

daring forge
#

then s.t.

#

then this is what i said

split kayak
#

Okay to be honest they kinda trolled in the way they phrased it

prisma wren
#

Lmao

daring forge
#

ugh

split kayak
#

In language, they reversed the order of the condition

#

instead of writing "when a then b", it says "b happens when a"

daring forge
#

so i gotta do the end first

#

or what

split kayak
#

yep

daring forge
#

ok

#

how do i write when

#

is it not the arrow

split kayak
#

You do use the arrow, but you inverse the order from language to math

daring forge
#

ok

#

oops

#

forgot the arrow

split kayak
#

Youd first write |x-x0| < delta ==> etc...

daring forge
#

like first first

split kayak
#

No, just that line, if i get to give some advice, when you have a st. , try moving the following part of the notation down a line

daring forge
#

wdym

split kayak
#

$\forall\varepsilon > 0, \exists\delta > 0$ st.
$\|x-x_0|$ bla bla bla ....

flat frigateBOT
daring forge
#

?

split kayak
#

The arrow goes after the delta

daring forge
#

the final one

#

?

split kayak
# daring forge

It should look almost the same to this except you switch around the thing before and after the arrow

daring forge
split kayak
#

and then the |f(x)-f(x0)| < epsilon part

daring forge
#

?

split kayak
#

yeah, thats it

daring forge
#

yay

#

so when theres a where that should go first

#

or like not first but move it up

split kayak
#

The problem with the phrasing is that language is a bit more open to different ways to describe a logic condition.

daring forge
#

yeah true

split kayak
#

and while you could arguably use $\Longleftarrow$ to respect the order in which is written, that just looks horrible.

flat frigateBOT
daring forge
#

so how do i read this?
for all epsilon greater than zero, there exists delta greater than 0 such that the absolute value of x minus x0 is less than delta

#

then i am confused from there with the arrow

#

how do i read that

split kayak
#

gimme a sec

#
|x − x₀| < δ ⇒ |f(x) − f(x₀)| < ε```
`∀ ε > 0` for all Epsilon greater than 0
`, ∃ δ > 0` there exists a Delta greater than 0
such that.
`|x − x₀| < δ` if Delta is greater than the absolute value of the difference of x and x0 (initial value)
Then
`|f(x) − f(x₀)| < ε` Epsilon will be greater than the absolute value of the difference of f(x) and f(x0)
#

mb

#

This is not definition of a limit, its about continuity, lmao

#

similar proof anyways

daring forge
#

right that makes sense actually

split kayak
#

whatevs, hope that helped

daring forge
#

it did thanks kind stranger

marsh walrus
#

its positive, yea

#

say the correlation was 0

#

what would the line look like

#

yea it'd just be scattered

#

so whats the line look like in that case

#

i guess i really mean whats its slope

#

but even more loosely

#

if we drew the line of best fit

#

yea

#

and perfect correlation

#

(positive)

#

thats a 1

#

i think lower

#

yea

#

sorry i realized im dumb and im just mixing things up

#

line of best fit is gonna give us just the sign, really

#

idk why i decided to help with stats blobsweat

#

especially when @solar hazel was already about to start helping

#

to my dumb brain, i think really 0.3-0.5 is probably FINE and if you explain why you think that it should be good

#

although you could do the math and sit down and get it exactly

#

it wouldnt be that much work

#

the question seems qualitative

#

yea

#

happy sorry for the dumb np

solar hazel
#

yea i agree it would be a little lower

marsh walrus
#

im wondering now if theres some nice like

#

low-order approximation formula

#

but idk any off the top of my head

#

doesnt really seem like what the question wants

solar hazel
#

0.3 might be an ok answer

#

it might be even lower than that but i can’t really tell

#

0.5 is too high

urban ermine
#

there

#

im working on it

#

if you want to improve part b a bit, you could mention exactly how many positive and negative residuals there are, but overall it's solid

#

everything makes sense

#

i looked over part b and c. for part b, your explanation about positive and negative residuals makes sense, and you got the general idea right with more points above the line. for part c, you nailed the point with the biggest residual (6 donuts, $2) and explained it well.

Using Pythagorean theorem. Both sides are nine. I got 162. I was just wondering how the correct answer is nine times the square root of two.

misty gull
#

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

#

you know that c^2 = 162

#

therefore, c = sqrt(162) = sqrt(2*81)

#

= sqrt(2)*sqrt(81)

#

= 9sqrt(2)

HIII i need help with coordinate proofs 😭 i dont understand what my figure should be and how to solve to prove itt

C. Graph each figure on a coordinate plane and label all necessary points. Then, use
coordinates to prove the given statements or properties.

  1. In a trapezoid, the segment connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel
    sides is parallel to the bases. Also, the length of this segment is the average of
    the lengths of the bases.
  2. In a parallelogram, the sum of the squares of the four sides equals the sum of the
    squares of the two diagonals.
opaque fern
pearl musk
opaque fern
#

Ok so lets draw a general trapezoid which lets call TRAP

#

Place vertex T at the origin

pearl musk
#

okok

opaque fern
#

Place vertex R at (a, 0)

pearl musk
#

yes

opaque fern
#

Since it is a trapezoid, the top base must be parallel to the bottom one. Let's place the top vertices at P(b, c) and A(d, c) respectively

#

Did you do that

pearl musk
#

mhm

opaque fern
#

Ok cool

#

Let M be the midpoint of the non-parallel side TP, and N be the midpoint of RA. Can you tell me what those midpoints should be in terms of a, b, c and d?

pearl musk
#

TP and RA? or did i misunderstand ur ques ;w;

opaque fern
#

Do you know the midpoint formula

pearl musk
#

yes i do

opaque fern
#

What is it

pearl musk
#

(x1 + x2 / 2 , y1 + y2 / 2)

opaque fern
#

Yeah

#

So what would RA be with that

pearl musk
#

a + d / 2, c / 2?

opaque fern
#

no

pearl musk
#

oh

opaque fern
#

Oh wait

pearl musk
#

😭

#

😭

opaque fern
#

Yeah nvm its right bending_skull

#

What about TP

pearl musk
#

b/2 , c/2

opaque fern
#

Ok awesome

#

Now you want to prove parallelism

pearl musk
#

yes

opaque fern
#

You need to shoe that the midsegment MN is parallel to the bases (TR and PA)

#

To do that you need to check the slopes

#

Whats the slope of TR, PA, and MN

pearl musk
#

so i slope formula right?

opaque fern
#

Yeah

pearl musk
#

okok wait

#

theyre all 0

opaque fern
#

So that means they are parallel

#

Yes?

#

Sorry for the late reply as well

pearl musk
#

its okayy

#

is that all i need to do in 1?

opaque fern
#

Ok so you proved the parallelism but now you need to prove the length relationship
[
MN = \4{TR+PA}2
]

flat frigateBOT
opaque fern
pearl musk
#

a + d - b / 2

#

i got that

opaque fern
#

You can check the average

pearl musk
#

it tells me that that MN is the exact average of both bases?

#

waot

#

im so sorry im awful at answrring 😭😭

opaque fern
pearl musk
#

thabk you

#

im rushing because its dus in 10 minutes

#

😭

opaque fern
#

So thats it for 1

#

Oh damn

pearl musk
#

and our teacher only taugjt us how to do triangles

#

and rectangles

#

😭💔

opaque fern
#

Question 2 might take a bit...

pearl musk
#

IM COOKED

#

😭

opaque fern
#

Ok so

pearl musk
#

yes

opaque fern
#

Do you know the distance formula

pearl musk
#

yes

#

sqrt (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

opaque fern
pearl musk
#

both a^2, and both b^2

#

i got 2(a^2 + b^2)

opaque fern
opaque fern
pearl musk
#

WAT

#

😭

opaque fern
#

I mean a^2 for first two yes

#

Not b^2 for second two

pearl musk
#

really

#

but i did

#

wait

#

IM so sorry i dotn get it

#

can u explain it to me pls

opaque fern
#

But like

pearl musk
#

ITS OKAYY

#

maybe for future assignments

opaque fern
#

Its gonna be b^2 + c^2

#

Like

#

(b-0)^2 + (c-0)^2

pearl musk
#

wait so i probably did this wrong somehow cuz i got 2(a^2 + b^2)

opaque fern
#

Hmm yeah thay dont seem right

pearl musk
#

can u write it somewhere... so i can see how u did it

opaque fern
#

What are points A and D

#

Can u tell me that

#

@pearl musk

pearl musk
#

(0, 0) and (0, b) ?

opaque fern
#

No...

#

Oh wait

#

I guess i should ve clarified sorry

#

So like

pearl musk
#

yeahh

opaque fern
#

A = (0,0)
B = (a, 0)
C = (a + b, c)
D = (b, c)

pearl musk
#

oohh

opaque fern
pearl musk
#

okok

#

wait point as in... like the one u said

opaque fern
#

Ye

pearl musk
#

(0, 0) and (b, c)

opaque fern
pearl musk
#

b^2 + c^2

silver cloud
#

Ik it's not really maths but I am just confused why an object doesn't go inwards when following a circular path because it has a centripital acceleration and force

covert yoke
#

Hi @silver cloud, so you're wondering why an object falls into an orbit?

#

There are several reasons I could give you. But it might be useful to get your thoughts about it, why do you think it should fall inward? And how do you think this would work?

silver cloud
#

Because the centripetal force is pointed to the center of M(the bigger mass) and there is no force on the tiny mass that oposses it

covert yoke
#

alright, but the tiny mass is moving right?

silver cloud
#

Yes

covert yoke
#

alright, so if the tiny mass were stationary, then yeah, it would fall into the large mass and speed up.

#

now imagine for a moment that the large mass and tiny mass phased through each other, what would happen after the tiny mass moved to the middle of the large mass?

silver cloud
#

The acceleration would go to +infinity

#

Because r goes ro 0+

covert yoke
#

well, both the large mass and the tiny mass have some size, so actually the acceleration doesn't go infinite.

silver cloud
#

Yeah but it goes to +infinity but it doesn't reach it

quasi bison
#

the dumb answer is that it moves sideways exactly fast enough to keep falling "around" the center.

in fact, inside of an object, in the middle of the object, there would be no net gravity, because all of the mass of the object is pulling in different directions.

#

I was working up to that.

#

So you have a rapidly moving object, and then we phase through, there's decreasing and then no gravity inside of the large object, because the object is pulling "up" on the tiny object just as much as it is pulling "down"

#

so you have a fast moving tiny object right at the center of the mass, what happens?

#

where does it go?

silver cloud
#

Wdym

#

No where if it's in the center

covert yoke
#

why?

#

it's moving isn't it?

silver cloud
#

Because there is no netforce acting on it

covert yoke
#

ok, if there is no net force wouldn't it move in the direction it's already moving?

silver cloud
#

No because it's stationary

covert yoke
#

it was stationary when it started

#

but it was accelerated from the gravity of the large object, wasn't it?

silver cloud
#

Yes but when it passes the mass it goes back

covert yoke
#

what do you mean by passes the mass?

silver cloud
#

If it somehow kept moving past the point of the large mass then it would accelerate back to that point

covert yoke
#

alright, so it seems we have a few things going on here, you have a mass that accelerates up to a certain point, then it passes through that point, and then the acceleration starts moving in the opposite direction.

#

do you agree?

silver cloud
#

Yeah and how is this related?

covert yoke
#

is there another thing that does something similar that might be more familiar?

#

For instance, a pendulum

silver cloud
#

Not done that one yet

covert yoke
#

but you know how pendulums work, right?

#

I'm trying to draw an analogy here.

silver cloud
#

Ig they just swing

covert yoke
#

ok, so imagine a pendulum, it starts stationary up high on the right, you let it go, it speeds up until it reaches the bottom, then it's going fast, it heads off to the left, slowing down until it reaches the same height as it started at except now on the left.

#

at this point, it's stopped again.

#

yes?

silver cloud
#

Yup

#

It just keeps going back and forth I get it

covert yoke
#

Can you tell me how this picture relates to the small mass large mass example I gave above?

silver cloud
#

That it phases through the mass until it's equally far from the mass on the other side and then goes back and so on

covert yoke
#

ok!

chrome night
#

yyooooo

covert yoke
#

So now what happens if instead of being still, the mass initially has some other velocity

#

such that it's going up or down, instead of just left and right?

silver cloud
#

The speed vector would be in between being pointed and rhe center and being pointed in the direction of the speed

#

Velocity*

#

I forgot the English word

#

Ok i get it thanks

covert yoke
#

well, a little bit more of a nuance.

keen edge
#

are u guys in uni

covert yoke
#

graduated already

silver cloud
#

I'm not last year of um the school before uni

#

Idk how the English system works

keen edge
silver cloud
#

Anyhow thanks for the help

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.

covert yoke
#

So with a circular orbit, what is going on is that the velocity vector and acceleration vector are perpendicular to each other. So the acceleration vector pulls the velocity vector towards it.

#

but then because the position is changing the acceleration vector is also changing, and that change keeps the two vectors perpendicular.

Hi is this the right approach?

safe radishBOT
thin lion
#

Pls don’t give me solutions, just hints ❤️

opaque fern
#

the last line is incorrect

#

can you reason out why

thin lion
#

Wait it can exist in E

#

Wait

opaque fern
#

I mean, M - epsilon is usually not in E anyways

#

but that doesnt prove anything

#

you actually gotta show the opposite

thin lion
#

Ohhh I see what u mean, we want to show anything below M however small is in thr set E

#

So that M is the biggest thing in the set

#

Hm

#

So want to show M-epsilon is in E

solar hazel
#

no

opaque fern
#

no still

#

you dont need everything below M to be in the set

thin lion
#

Does it even have anything to do w epsilon?

#

Well from definition

#

Maybe

opaque fern
#

i dont think you need any epsilons to prove this

thin lion
#

If M is least uppser bound then that’s the same as saying for every m less than M, there exists some x in E such that x is bigger than m

severe pond
#

a = b if a <= b and b <= a

thin lion
#

Wait am I trying to show the uniqueness of a least uppser bound?

#

So suppose there’s 2 Ms

severe pond
#

no you're trying to show M = sup E

vital bison
#

There are two things you need for a number to be a supremum

#

What are those?

thin lion
#

U need to be an upper bound

vital bison
#

Yes

thin lion
#

And for it to be the Least such upper bound

vital bison
#

Yes

#

M is already given to be an upper bound

#

How do you know that it is the least upper bound?

thin lion
#

So suppose there is smth smaller than m that’s the least upper bound? Then prove by contradiction

severe pond
#

why?

#

don't overcomplicate this

severe pond
thin lion
#

Hm

#

Am I over complicating? 😭

severe pond
#

this can be done in one line directly

#

so why use contradiction

solar hazel
#

what’s your definition for supremum?

thin lion
severe pond
#

ok if you have to use this definition then you can do that then

#

poor definition imo

thin lion
#

Is there another definition?

severe pond
#

yes there are plenty

thin lion
#

Oh I see

#

What’s the other definition?

severe pond
#

s = sup A if s >= a for all a in A and if b is an upper bound for A then s <= b is the usual one. you can also use the epsilon definition which is for all epsilon > 0 there exists a in A such that s - epsilon < a

thin lion
#

Yea tbf the top on u wrote is what makes most sense to me

severe pond
#

agreed

thin lion
#

What I imagine on a number line anyway

solar hazel
#

i would just write there is no upper bound m with m < M because M is in E

#

still very simple with that definition

thin lion
#

Wait no we have to show for any other upper bound, M is less than or equal to it

severe pond
#

i mean that tells us that M is an upper bound

#

to show M is the least upper bound is simple since M is in E any upper bound would also have to satisfy b >= M

thin lion
#

But that would mean that either b = M or b > M which then would not make it a least upper bound since the former would be the least upper bound

severe pond
#

we don't need to consider the second possibility

thin lion
#

Cause it would just be an upper bound?

severe pond
#

no need to split into b = m or b > M

thin lion
#

Ohh I see it somewhat, so we say that M is an upper bound from an assumption, suppose we have a b>=M, this would also be an upper bound for E but since M is also an upper bound, for b to be least upper bound b must equal M?

severe pond
#

and if we instead treated b as the least upper bound then we would have
b <= M since M is an upper bound for E
M <= b since M is in E

severe pond
severe pond
severe pond
#

yes since b is the least upper bound

thin lion
#

😤 this feels less satisfactory that I was spoon fed but ty, at least I understand it now ❤️

severe pond
#

you can try your definition
