So real

#

Have you tried studying it yourself

torpid acorn
#

no 😭

timid ridge
#

basically it's just the ratio of side lengths on a right triangle and they are extremely useful

winter whale
#

I recommend self studying and watching videos on it and if you don't get something feel free to ask

thin bridge
#

what do you consider to be "basic"

hard crest
#

remember how in geometry you had like SAS and SSS and AAS theorems? trigonometry is an extension of those

winter whale
#

God i miss those

#

Those were the days

safe radishBOT
#

@torpid acorn Has your question been resolved?

I’m trying to find integral using partial fractions, but first have to do long division. I’m lost ngl, what’s next? I did the long division

no

#

uhh and yeah turns out this is the final solution lmao

vague phoenix
#

take integration of that

covert wren
#

i mean yeah of course

#

but this is the final partial fraction decomposition

Ok so I do them separately

can someone help me

safe radishBOT
whole locust
#

im a yr 8 so it will be easy

lean otter
#

Questions

#

?

whole locust
#

mb ik im not the smarttest 😅

lean otter
#

Do u know what's is congruent means?

whole locust
#

yes

#

its when the triangles are the same

#

but they might be rotated sometimes

lean otter
#

Correct we just have to proved that for triangle BAD and triangle BDC. Can u see the triangle I am mentioning?

whole locust
#

umm

#

oh yes

#

i see it now

fiery olive
#

AB = BC, angle DBC = DBA, BD=BD

#

=> the triangles are congruent

whole locust
#

so how could i answer the question

vague phoenix
fiery olive
#

This is the whole answer

#

Didn't you learn congruent triangles?

whole locust
#

i did

#

but im not the best with them

lean otter
#

When I was in grade we use create table for statement and reason. Then we write prove on it.

spiral bronze
#

Did you learn SAS (etc.)

whole locust
#

side angle side right ?

spiral bronze
whole locust
#

ohhhhh

#

i see

#

but then what abt B

#

part B

spiral bronze
#

What is the angle on a straight line?

whole locust
#

90 ?

spiral bronze
#

Not quite, that's the angle on a quarter turn

whole locust
spiral bronze
#

You're not meant to give the full answer, you're helping

spiral bronze
whole locust
#

umm my apologies but i dont quite fully understand

whole locust
spiral bronze
#

Do you agree that the angle ADB is the same as the ange CDB?

fiery olive
#

Let em explain them to you

spiral bronze
whole locust
#

i just got a little confused

spiral bronze
fiery olive
#

And their sum is 180? Right

whole locust
#

yes

spiral bronze
#

What is 180 divided by 2?

fiery olive
#

So one angle is 180:2

whole locust
#

90

fiery olive
#

Then angle CDB is right?

spiral bronze
whole locust
#

umm im pretty sure when there is a line which has another line though it and its 90 degrees

fiery olive
#

Perfect

whole locust
#

like when they go through each other a a 90 degreen angle

#

im pretty sure

fiery olive
#

Perfect

spiral bronze
whole locust
#

i see

#

but one thing i didn't understand was when they said [corresponding angles of congruent triangles]

spiral bronze
#

We've shown the triangles to be congruent right?

whole locust
#

yes

#

through sas

spiral bronze
#

What is meant by congruent?

#

I'm looking for "x are the same, y are the same"

whole locust
whole locust
spiral bronze
#

Yeah!

#

So what can you imagine "corresponding angles" to mean with this context?

whole locust
#

i think it reffers to the dot on the triangles

#

at the top

spiral bronze
#

Not quite, although they are a pair of corresponding angles

#

There are three pairs^

whole locust
#

oh i see

#

oh

#

so all the angles here are corresponding

#

i see

Prove BC=6GM

waxen wraith

how to prove it tho?

open wedge
hearty fox
#

k bt

karmic merlin

BC=DC

#

DM=1/2 DC

#

If you can prove DG=1/3DC then youre done

open wedge
#

can someone give me the full question?

open wedge
karmic merlin
#

Idk im just guessing it

open wedge
#

translation: ABC is a right triangle at A, draw ray AD at the opposite direction of ray AB such that AD = AB

#

a) triangle CAD and triangle CAB is congruent

#

b) let M be the midpoint of CD, draw a parallel line with BC that passes through D and intersects BM at E. prove that BC = ED

#

c) let G be the intersection of AE and DM, prove that BC = 6GM

#

modest thistle
#

I get major confused by this long Set theory thing. where do i start?

modest thistle
#

$|D \cup E \cup F| = |D \cup (E \cup F)| = |D| + |E \cup F| - |D \cap (E \cup F)| = |D| + |E| + |F| - |E \cap F| - |D \cap (E \cup F)| = |D| + |E| + |F| - |E \cap F| - |(D \cap E) \cup (D \cap F)| = |D| + |E| + |F| - |E \cap F| - |D \cap E| - |D \cap F| + |D \cap E \cap F|$

astral glacier

Firstly by breaking it into lines

manic patrol
astral glacier
#

Hi bina

modest thistle
astral glacier
#

Good

modest thistle
#

still get confused

#

this is not from me its from a solution

astral glacier
#

Well are you familiar with this formula:

modest thistle
#

yes

astral glacier
#

$|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - | A \cap B|$

flat frigateBOT
#

Xavier 🌺

astral glacier
#

...you didn't even see the formula

modest thistle
#

yes im familar wit that

#

its he cardinality of union

#

and I can swap around with it

astral glacier
#

Well this one is just a repeated application of that

manic patrol
#

I will leave this diagram here in hopes that it will help.
the numbers indicate how many times the area is included by just adding |A| + |B| + |C|.

modest thistle
solar hazel
modest thistle
#

Sadly I dont have to draw

astral glacier
#

Well the drawing is a good way to understand what's going on

modest thistle
#

Why is there so many more - in the solution

astral glacier
modest thistle
#

yes

#

but I dont understand the order

astral glacier
#

What order

#

You can do it in any order, it doesn't matter

#

Every time you see a union, apply the formula

modest thistle
#

The thing is

#

how do i get from there to

astral glacier
#

I imagine those are values that you've been given?

modest thistle
#

yses

astral glacier
#

...so you plug in the values

modest thistle
#

I mean the form of the formula

#

the values is fine

manic patrol
#

that's really it.

modest thistle
#

oh

#

it got moved

#

but shouldnt the | D n E n F | be negative

#

after moving it to the right

manic patrol
#

no.

modest thistle
#

but i swappped it

manic patrol
#

what did you swap it with?

modest thistle
#

oh

#

i mean

#

| D u E u F |

#

should be negative

manic patrol
#

no.

#

neither the triple union nor the triple intersection are moved at all.

modest thistle
manic patrol
#

and so their signs should not change.

#

you are moving the single-set cardinalities and the two-set intersections. the triple union and intersection do not move at all.

modest thistle
#

why did we suddenly have | E n F| there

#

dont understand the "jump"

delicate shore
#

honestly you can just count on the venn diagram yourself

manic patrol
#

two-set inclusion-exclusion applied once on E U F.

delicate shore
#

the result will immediately pop out

modest thistle
manic patrol
#

you can use the diagram for intuition!

delicate shore
#

If you get how the formula arises then the proof comes more easily

#

one should never try to prove anything that is not obvious

solar hazel
#

wisdom from the great 0lante

delicate shore
#

well I didn't say it, grothendieck did

manic patrol
modest thistle
#

yeah those confuse me already

#

thats the pain pointr

manic patrol
#

if that is from Wikipedia, right under that line:

This formula can be verified by counting how many times each region in the Venn diagram figure is included in the right-hand side of the formula. In this case, when removing the contributions of over-counted elements, the number of elements in the mutual intersection of the three sets has been subtracted too often, so must be added back in to get the correct total.

modest thistle
#

oof

manic patrol
#

I have already included that Venn diagram with annotations regarding the number of times each section is first included when adding |A| + |B| + |C|.

modest thistle
#

ill try

delicate shore
#

This a supplemental video from one of my courses that I made in my more typical style. This is a follow up to previous videos introducing the Set cardinality theorems and then counting principles in general. In this particular video, we show how to begin to deal with the general Sum principle for Sets when you have more than two sets involved. C...

modest thistle
#

dafuq did I just watch. pandawow

#

but made sense tbh

#

so to get the intersection of the all
Why again dont I just move the lhs stuff to the rhs and the |A n B C | thats on the rhs to the lhs?

#

and change their precedding operator symbols accordingly

manic patrol
#

why overcomplicate things?

modest thistle
#

movign 2 values

#

srsly dont get how to got from pic 1 to pic 2

manic patrol
#

oh, you want to move the triple intersection to the left and the triple union to the right.

modest thistle
#

yes

manic patrol
#

well, that works, but then you'll get -(triple intersection) on the left, and to clear that negative sign you'll have to multiply both sides by -1, necessitating you to flip every single sign on the right. if you think that doing so is preferable, by all means use that method - the final answer is the same.

modest thistle
#

so but

#

how did the triple intersection get to left anyway

#

it was always on the right

#

ive were not movig

#

do you think just writing down this in a test would be enough?

manic patrol
#

I personally would derive the first line here through inclusion-exclusion, but I don't know how your examiner or teacher likes things.
for any question concerning tests, ask your teacher.

nimble helm
#

Is this correct and if yes, is there any way I could improve this?

open wedge
#

okay cool

#

the proof is good

solar hazel
open wedge
#

but kinda long for me and hard to keep track

open wedge
#

we still reach until $p^2 = 12q^2$

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

open wedge
#

but this time, we'll do $p^2 = 3(2q)^2$

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

nimble helm
#

yes

open wedge
#

then we take square roots on both side

#

$p = \pm \text{something}$

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

solar hazel
#

this is morally incorrect

nimble helm
#

$p = \pm 3^{1/2}2q$

flat frigateBOT
#

gribble19

open wedge
#

yes

#

so we're going to prove $3^{1/2}$ is not rational

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

open wedge
#

which is really easy to do

open wedge
solar hazel
#

you’re violating all the moral codes omg

open wedge
solar hazel
#

this is so impure

open wedge
#

-# it's me recalling how tf do i prove it again

#

😭

nimble helm
#

well you'd have to do the same thing again no

#

$p^2=3q^2$ for integer p,q

flat frigateBOT
#

gribble19

open wedge
#

yea

#

but with the condition that $\gcd(p, q) = 1$

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

open wedge
#

and some more unrelated conditions that me myself wouldn't want to say

#

so since $\gcd(p, q) = 1$ then $\gcd(p^2, q^2) = 1$

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

solar hazel
#

this is like, assuming you have developed basic ‘integer square root theory’ before you have done the things that should go into ‘integer basic square root theory’

#

extremely immoral

nimble helm
open wedge
open wedge
#

idk if you've learned it before

nimble helm
open wedge
#

or if ts is some ring theory that wai had before

solar hazel
open wedge
#

if it's moral for you to call it out, but is immoral if it's interupting

#

contradiction

nimble helm
#

slayla are you saying its better to do it how i did it or rather there is a third option that is better than both

solar hazel
#

third option

#

but square roots are immoral here

open wedge
#

p^2 = 12q^2

#

let's see your moral way

#

there's no defined rule of what a proof should be moral look like right?

solar hazel
#

let’s ask snow he knows everything

@toxic stratus what do you think? do you think invoking the sqrt symbol for this problem is immoral?

#

as for a moral way… @nimble helm do you know euclid’s lemma?

nimble helm
#

no

open wedge
#

fancy name

#

fancy names are immoral i think so

solar hazel
#

well we can probably still use it even if you haven’t learned it by name

open wedge
#

can't you use a better name for a proof?

worn pollen
#

💀

solar hazel
nimble helm
#

yes

#

3(4q^2)

#

and 2(6q^2)

solar hazel
#

yep. so 6 divides p

nimble helm
#

so 6, 4, 3, 2 divide p^2

open wedge
#

6(2q^2) 🥀
she is really trying to waste 2 steps just to say that 🥀

solar hazel
#

now try what you did, but with the fact that 6 divides p instead

nimble helm
#

oh

#

yes that is what i originally wanted to do bc then it just simplifies to 18k^2 = q^2 for some integer k

#

and q is also even

solar hazel
nimble helm
#

but i couldn't figure out how to show that if 6 divides p^2 then 6 also divides p

solar hazel
#

i am appealing to euclid’s lemma

#

which is the morally correct way to do ts

nimble helm
#

6 dividing p^2 doesn't mean 6 divides p but both 3 and 2 dividing p^2 means both divide p bc euclids lemma (which only works for primes (so not 6)) and then because 3 and 2 divide p, 6 also divides p

solar hazel
#

you probably want to use some intuition you have with the sqrt symbol or something

#

but really it follows from 3 dividing p and 2 dividing p

solar hazel
#

then we have that 3 divides q

#

and 3 also divides p

#

and we are done

nimble helm
#

oh yes nvm

#

it was 12q not 2q

solar hazel
#

also your profile is so beautiful

nimble helm
toxic stratus
nimble helm
#

okay i understand it now im just writing it up

solar hazel
#

that’s more of a message for @open wedge though

solar hazel
open wedge
nimble helm
#

so we say that because r is a rational r = p/q for integers p,q with greatest common denominator 1? or is there a cleaner way to word that

solar hazel
#

there exist integers p and q with gcd(p,q) = 1

solar hazel
#

my preferred principle to use here is descent but you don’t need to worry about that

#

the represent by coprime integers perspective is also morally correct

open wedge
#

that you define such a set of rules that makes your proofs moral and try to make others follow that rule

solar hazel
#

‘not invoking the sqrt symbol’ is not even style

#

it’s just really bad form and demonstrates you don’t know how number theory is built up and is inappropriate because you don’t build it with square root theory before ts

open wedge
toxic stratus
#

how do you know the sqrt exists?

solar hazel
open wedge
solar hazel
open wedge
#

tell me then

#

proving $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational is a number theory or not?

flat frigateBOT
#

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

solar hazel
#

that’s just shorthand for saying there is no rational number whose square is 2

open wedge
#

answer me

solar hazel
#

yes sure that is number theory. but i am responding to your next point in advance about how there is a sqrt symbol there

nimble helm
#

moral AND easier to follow?

open wedge
solar hazel
open wedge
#

tbh i don't even care if it's moral or not

solar hazel
#

the contradiction is slightly immoral but that’s more for style rather than correctness

#

so it’s ok

open wedge
nimble helm
#

okayokay thank you everyone that helped!

You have T = 90/w

Set up both equations

T = k/w and solve for k by plugging in the numbers 10 = k/9

W = k* cube root d
1= k* cuberoot 64
1 = k* 4

I think your set up was wrong

#

Let me know if you would like the values of k

atomic parrot
quiet plume
#

Well just from T = 90/w, you could solve for w in 36 = 90 / w

#

Then that will give you w and you can do a similar thing for d

atomic parrot
#

Oh i justs substitute 36 into T=90/w

#

Then use what w is and substitute it in w=1/4 × cube root of d

#

Thx

#

So w=2.5

#

Then d is 2.15443469

quiet plume
#

If w = 2.5, then you get
2.5 = 1/4 * cbrt(d)

#

You need to cube to solve for d, not take the cube root

atomic parrot
#

Oh yh

#

So 1000

#

d=1000

Use slopes to show that the points (-1, -3), (6,1), and (2, -5) form a right-angled triangle

The answer is supposed to be m1 = 3/2 & m2 = -2/3 but how did they reach that?

I'm trying the slope equation, but (1-(-3)/(6-(-1) gives me 4/7?

faint glade
#

yeah, and the answer key shows two slopes

timid ridge
#

the other two slopes could be the right angle

#

have you tried ?

#

are you aware of the fact that if there are two slopes M and N
if N = -1/M
then M and N are perpendicular and make right angles

#

so you have found ONE SIDE of the triangle

#

you dont know if the other two sides make right angles

#

it's not enough to say anything right now

faint glade
#

they haven't gone over right angles yet, so yeah that makes sense

This was in my answer key: I don't get it. If you pull the negation out through the forall y, doesn't that change it to: "there exists y" ?

tardy mango
#

but here, you're using the implication rule to create a double negation on the outside

slim lion
#

they used this ^

glacial cairn
#

That negation is on the first term of the implication. That implication is getting rewritten, the negation doesn't go through the quantifier

silent basin
#

But then wouldn't we have something like this?

glacial cairn
#

That's not what is written

silent basin
#

Sorry I meant:

slim lion
slim lion
#

no

#

because

#

ur term is

glacial cairn
#

Let $A(x,y) \equiv \neg N(x,y) \lor \neg P(y)$, then you have $\forall x (\neg \textcolor{orange}{[\forall y(A(x,y))]} \implies P(x))$

flat frigateBOT
glacial cairn
#

That orange part is untouched

slim lion
silent basin
glacial cairn
#

Let me rephrase

#

Let $B \equiv \forall y(\neg N(x,y) \lor \neg P(y))$ and $C \equiv P(x)$, then you have $$\forall x (\neg B \implies C) \equiv \forall x (B \lor C)$$

the formula being An = n² - 8

magic junco

Is it a$_{4\text{n}}$?

If this is the case, you’re supposed to replace n with 4n entirely

Meaning that 4n should be squared instead of squaring n and multiply it with 4

hello

safe radishBOT
knotty matrix
#

can someone help me with this

quiet plume
#

Have you tried something?

safe radishBOT
#

@knotty matrix Has your question been resolved?

knotty matrix
hollow geode
# knotty matrix

for the first one
$(1, \sqrt{2}, \sqrt[4]{2})$
we will consider $(a, b, c) \in \mathbb{Q}^3$ :
$$a + b\sqrt{2} + c\sqrt[4]{2} = 0$$
$$a + b\sqrt{2} = -c\sqrt[4]{2}$$
$$(a + b\sqrt{2})^2 = c^2\sqrt{2}$$
$$a^2 + 2b^2 + 2ab\sqrt{2} = c^2\sqrt{2}$$
$$a^2 + 2b^2 = (c^2 - 2ab)\sqrt{2}$$
if $c^2 - 2ab \neq 0$
then $$\sqrt{2} = \frac{a^2 + 2b^2}{c^2 - 2ab}$$

that means $\sqrt{2} \in \mathbb{Q}$ contradiction

$c^2 - 2ab = 0$
$a^2 + 2b^2 = 0$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

the a^2 + 2b^2 = 0 => a=0 and b=0

#

if u replace in the first equation then c = 0 too

knotty matrix
#

i see

#

i didn't think of squaring it

#

i was trying to make an equality such as a rational=irrationnal but i got stuck

hollow geode
#

also for the 3rd one

#

$$a + b\sqrt{2} + c\sqrt[3]{2} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

after some simplification

knotty matrix
#

and for the second?

hollow geode
flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

and u already found on the first question that (1, sqrt(2)) is independent

#

so both are = to zero

knotty matrix
knotty matrix
hollow geode
knotty matrix
#

i think second we need to work on the sqrt of 3

#

like find a contradiction

hollow geode
#

lemme see

#

$$a + b\sqrt{2} + c\sqrt{3} + d\sqrt{6} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

$$(a + b\sqrt{2}) + \sqrt{3}(c + d\sqrt{2}) = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

that will imply

knotty matrix
#

and square it?

hollow geode
#

$$\sqrt{3} = - \frac{a + b\sqrt{2}}{c + d\sqrt{2}}$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

hmm

#

maybe multiply both top and bottom with c - d sqrt (2)

knotty matrix
#

yup for sure

hollow geode
#

$$\sqrt{3} = \frac{2bd - ac}{c^2 - 2d^2} + \frac{ad - bc}{c^2 - 2d^2}\sqrt{2}$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

$u = \frac{2bd - ac}{c^2 - 2d^2}$ avec $u \in \mathbb{Q}$
$v = \frac{ad - bc}{c^2 - 2d^2}$ avec $v \in \mathbb{Q}$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

that will leave us with $$\sqrt{3} = u + v\sqrt{2}$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

knotty matrix
#

$$\sqrt{3} = - \frac{(ac - 2bd)+(bc-ad)\sqrt{2}{c - 2d}$$

knotty matrix
#

ah yeah alr

hollow geode
knotty matrix
#

so sqrt 2 is equal to a rationnal

hollow geode
hollow geode
hollow geode
#

according to question 1

#

$2uv = 0 \implies u = 0$ ou $v = 0$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

knotty matrix
knotty matrix
hollow geode
#

yea

hollow geode
#

and apply it to the second term

#

that way u will find the contradiction

#

ig

knotty matrix
#

idk man the first seems straight forward

hollow geode
#

if $u = 0$, $2v^2 = 3 \implies v^2 = \frac{3}{2}$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

absurd

#

$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \notin \mathbb{Q}$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

hollow geode
#

but v is in Q

#

same way for the V = 0

#

that will imply the $$c + d\sqrt{2} = 0$$

flat frigateBOT
#

akeanti💕

knotty matrix
#

ok ok merci

hollow geode
#

and again (1, sqrt(2)) is independant

#

so c=0 and d=0

I dont understand why it is taking the derivative like that. isnt it supposed to be in terms of dp/dt? Why is it just saying the derivative of 50,000p is just 50,000 instead of 50,000 dp/dt?

kind quartz
#

Specifically i set revenue as R = p(rice) * x (quantity) and put x in terms of p, as shown there. so r = 50000p / root(4p +1)

#

And also when it takes the derivative of 4p+1, it just says 4, but if its with respect to price change why wouldnt it be 4 * dp / dt

#

and if thats what the outside one is then 1) why is it outside, and 2) why wouldnt it do the same type, for 50000p

I have this Poisson equation in x of the form (u'' + \omega^{2}u = f) with Dirichlet boundary conditions (u(0) = u(a) = 0) where f is some arbitrary function of x. I found the solution to be the following expression (\rightarrow)

In Maple, when I use the diff command, Maple is not recognizing that the integral expressions are functions of x and instead treat them as some constant:

hmm

k

#

im gonna go rezolvit in my note pad

#

made it a pic

blissful oyster
#

I know that this is the solution -- this is what I arrived at when integrating the arbitrary function f with the Kernal G aka Green's function, which was found with some basic ODE methods. I am just trying to verify that, when you apply L to G where L is the Laplacian, you get back f

#

and I'm trying to verify this with Maple for obvious reasons -- it is much too tedious to keep doing all this verification/validation by hand

primal bone
#

yh, I did think it felt like some AI got in the mix

#

@blissful oyster Consider asking your question in some place dedicated for Maple, perhaps?

#

(idk if Maple has a Discord server, but I'd try looking there, or potentially on Reddit)

blissful oyster
#

yeahhh I tried looking in the Discord server list and via Google, but nothing for Maple specifically showed up

#

Honestly, I think I'd have better results just soldiering through Maple documentation and testing more code myself haha

primal bone
#

This is a general thing I'd recommend for coding; it might work in this case

#

Check if you get the same issue in much smaller cases, e.g. with writing smaller functions and see if Maple throws up errors

#

And then build it back up to the function you're trying to write

#

If you find a hitch, that's what you should seek to address

#

If writing a small function still throws an error, then it's likely you're not writing the function in a recognisable way

blissful oyster
#

Yup!

#

I created a test function g(x) defined in terms of some arbitrary definite integral and got exactly the output I was hoping for in the simple case

#

I guess I'll slowly build up from there back to u and see where the disconnect happens... I'll come back here when that happens

crisp hull
#

When we check whether a function is defined can't we check by simplifying it first?

crisp hull
#

Suppose f of x equals xsq - 1 / x-1

#

At x equals 1

#

It's undefined can't we simplify first?

quiet plume
#

Even if you simplify stuff, the original expression remains undefined.

crisp hull
#

X - 1 cancels out

#

It becomes 2

#

Isn't it defined

quiet plume
#

What I mean is even if you simplify and it becomes "defined"

#

The original expression at that point has the form 0/0

#

That's not defined.

late thorn
#

you cant simplify if they are zeros so you need to mention that they are not zeros before simplify

when you cancel common factors, you are dividing through the fraction by the same common factor

#

but at x = 1 in your example, you are dividing through by 0

#

which is obviously not allowed, hence that restriction remains even after you simplify

can you explain well ordering principle to me like im a newborn

main mural
#

goo goo gah gah

#

no but are you referring to the well ordering on natural numbers or in general the set theoretic one?

proud tree
cedar badger
#

Basically, suppose you have some natural numbers(can be infinite)
then there exists smallest number in that set of numbers

worldly lantern
#

how does that help

#

i already knew that if i have a collection of things , there will be a thing that is the smalles

#

what implication does this principle have

main mural
#

for natural numbers this is pretty obvious yes

#

but being able to claim this for any set out there requires axiom of choice

#

i might ask for some context

safe radishBOT
#

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.

# worldly lantern what implication does this principle have

It doesn't mean much more than what you think it does for natural numbers.
It can be useful because if you know you have some set of natural numbers with some property, you're guaranteed there's a LEAST one with that property. That's not true in general for sets with any order, like Z, Q or R.

Also as they quickly mention, it's actually equivalent to mathematical induction, which itself is a nice consequence.

worldly lantern
#

how does that equal induction

#

pls enlighten

quiet plume
#

Hum

worldly lantern
#

thanks for typing so much for me dude

#

u da real one

quiet plume
#

One can prove that they imply each other.
The main idea is that if you have a set S like in induction and it's not N, then N \ S is nonempty and would have a least element. You can show that this would contradict the fact that N\S has a least element, so N\S must be empty, i.e. S = N. This shows WOP => induction at least

worldly lantern
#

hmm

#

did not get that

quiet plume
#

It's not exactly simple

worldly lantern
#

i might have to study set theory again

#

im still in 12th grade tho

quiet plume
#

Yeah it might be good to just take it as a fact that you get induction for free with WOP

worldly lantern
#

sure

#

and i also saw this veritasium vid

quiet plume
#

Eventually I think it makes sense intuitively that the WOP has at least something to do with induction and vice versa

worldly lantern
#

where he tells something about WOP

quiet plume
#

Prob on the axiom of choice

worldly lantern
#

yeahh

quiet plume
#

Right well in natural numbers it's sort of intuitive that it should be well-ordered.

#

In general, given any set, you might want to (1) give an order to that set, (2) see if you can choose that order such that it is a well-order (has the same property as the WOP says N has).

#

Sets like Z and R with the usual order we have on them aren't well ordered for instance

worldly lantern
#

so we write them as 0, +-1 , +-2 ....

#

?

#

but then that isnt an order

quiet plume
#

Yeah that's not really it

#

But essentially if you accept what is called the Axiom of Choice (which people have good reasons to accept or reject), then you get what's called (NOT Zorn's Lemma) Well Ordering Theorem, which says that for ANY set there is an order which is a well-order on that set.

worldly lantern
#

how can that be

#

thats impossible right

quiet plume
#

Well it doesn't say that any order is a well-order

#

For instance, a well-ordering of R would definitely not look like the usual ordering we have of R

#

But it would still be a valid order and that theorem says that it should exist.

worldly lantern
#

ohh

#

is this also connected to banach tarski paradox

quiet plume
#

Yes that's another consequence of the axiom of choice

worldly lantern
#

so the only problem with well ordering is infinity

quiet plume
#

Well in general for any finite set it's quite easy to order it

#

So yes the "issue" is with ordering infinite sets

worldly lantern
#

so the crux is that , we can assume that an infinite set has a well order , we dont know what it is

quiet plume
#

Yeah

worldly lantern
#

but we cant apply induction to the set of real numbers right

quiet plume
#

The thing is the axiom of choice has some very odd consequences like the Banach Tarski Paradox, but the Well-ordering theorem is quite useful in that it has some natural consequences, like that every vector space has a basis, which seems lik it should be true.

#

Heck on its own choice seems like it's quite intuitive

quiet plume
worldly lantern
#

understandable

#

this is why i love number theory

#

no real numbers in sight

#

thanks again

_que : _ Find the sum of the solution of the equation |x|^3 - 15x^2 - 8|x| - 11 = 0

graceful lichen
#

my method is to let
t = |x| => (t^3 - 15t^2 - 8t - 11 = 0)

#

further this cubic isn't solveable

worldly lantern
#

nuh

and once by R-

#

there are extra solutions

winged flare
#

but now i wonder if the solution is supposed to be trivial like that

acoustic timber
worldly lantern
#

we cant use this

glacial cairn
#

It's asking for the sum of roots of a function

#

Check if that function is even

winged flare
# flat frigate

from here you see that the sum of roots for every value of t is 0

graceful lichen
#

question (iii)

graceful lichen
winged flare
#

is the answer something else?

graceful lichen
#

checking....

worldly lantern
#

is it 15?

graceful lichen
#

zero is correct

#

i checked

graceful lichen
worldly lantern
#

oh right

#

i fumbled

#

ans should be 0

#

the sum of solutions in negative domain is coming +ve and vice versa , which is not possible

graceful lichen
#

i do this step every time |x| = t then x = +- t but didn't notice we can say the sum like this

worldly lantern
graceful lichen
#

hm

#

right depends on the question

glacial cairn
#

You certainly can do it for (i), and you can do a very similar thing for (ii) and (iv), though (iv) is very easy anyway

lean otter
#

this occurs when the function is syymmetric ig

graceful lichen
#

i solved (i) and (iv) th by procedure

winged flare
#

(ii) seems to use the same idea with a bit of thinking

graceful lichen
#

yes there is manipulation in (ii)

#

i got t = [-1 +- sqrt(45)]/2 in (ii)

#

after that looking at solution i got to know some basic manipulation

glacial cairn
graceful lichen
#

they let t = |x-3|
now |x-3| = [-1 +- sqrt(45)]/2
and then let y = |x-3|
so y = +- (x-3)
y = x -3 and y = 3 -x
so x = y +3 and x = 3-y and sum is 6

graceful lichen
worldly lantern
#

write ( x-3)² as |x-3|² since its positive and let |x-3| =t

#

it will give you 4 soln

burnt pine
glacial cairn
#

f(x) = (x-3)^2 + |x-3| - 11, consider f(x+3)

how do I logically solve this problem: find for which integers (2024+n)/n is a perfect square

glacial cairn
#

2024 only has 14 divisors (not 1 or 2024) so you might as well just check them all

solar hazel
#

put 2024/n = k^2 - 1. 2024 does not have very many divisors

glacial cairn
#

(also n = -2024 is a solution if n is not given positive)

solar hazel
#

equivalent to (2024+n)/n = k^2

west venture
#

yes

#

but it’s an odd number in that way isn’t it

#

I also don’t get why should I consider the divisors

solar hazel
#

if you put 2024 = n(k^2-1), then n is a divisor of 2024

#

so this is a pretty strong necessary condition on n

glacial cairn
solar hazel
#

you can just check the finitely many divisors of 2024

brave wolf
#

If for some reason you wanna avoid checking 14 divisors, you could also do it like this:
2024/n = k^2 - 1 = (k-1)(k+1)
So you need a divisor of 2024 = 2^3 * 11 * 23 which can be factored as (k-1)(k+1). Those have same parity though, so either both factors are even, or both odd. They cant be both odd, because then it would have to be 11 and 23, which clearly doesnt work. So they must be both even, so
k-1 = 2 * _
k+1 = 2 * _
Now you can add 2, 11, 23
If we add only the 2, it works. So that's one solution, k-1 = 2; k+1 = 2*2
Now if we add one of 11 or 23, we must add both. Because otherwise the numbers would get too big to balance out

So we do
k-1 = 2 * 11 * _
k+1 = 2 * 23 * _

Now only 2 remains, and if we add it to k-1, we get k-1 = 44, k+1 = 46 as our last sol.

Now to actually reconstruct n from those, remember that
2024/n = (k-1)(k+1)

west venture
solar hazel
#

sure? i’m not sure what putting it as a hypothesis even means though

glacial cairn
#

"which integers (2024+n)/n is a perfect square" directly translates to (2024+n)/n = k^2 where n and k are integers

west venture
#

yes

glacial cairn
#

That's not really a hypothesis

west venture
#

ohhhhhhhh

#

now I get it

#

I’m sorry guys

solar hazel
#

it’s ok

#

Can I solve this without using any system or solving any forth grade equation?

burnt notch
#

I guess so

safe radishBOT
#

@west venture Has your question been resolved?

brave wolf
#

let r+s = p, rs = q

#

(r+s)^2 = r^2 + s^2 + 2q

#

(r^2 + s^2)^2 = r^4 + s^4 + 2q^2

#

so uhh

#

((r+s)^2 - 2q)^2 = r^4 + s^4 + 2q^2

#

(1 - 2q)^2 = 7 + 2q^2

#

now solve for q I suppose, it should be only qudratic
