well, first of all, before we even start taking the limit as w goes to negative infinity, i think we need to deal with the issue at n = 0

Can someone explain the difference of a euler path and euler trail to me? Google seems to have conflicting info, some sites say they are the same, some say different.
Additionally, if they are the same, can it be possible for a graph to have both a trail and a circuit? I would think not, because a trail must have 2 odd vertices and a circuit must have no odd vertices, but I got this question wrong:

lean plank
#

According to the homework, this has both a trail and a circuit

safe radishBOT
#

@lean plank Has your question been resolved?

vocal portal
#

trail is the path conecting all points using all conections only once

#

circuit is a path connecting all points and coming back to the original

#

I guess the most trivial case would be single ring

#

formed off points

lean plank
#

So it is possible to be both?

vocal portal
#

why not

#

but I don't know how many sophisticated posibillites that have both there exists

lean plank
#

I see

#

Thanks!

I was able to prove this. But I was wondering for part b, what does removing the assumption gcd(a,b) =1 actually do?

junior wagon
#

Intuitively, in my mind it just restricts a and b to be small to the point where theres no common factors between them other than 1

#

Is that way of thinking correct

eager ravine
#

if a, b, and c have a common prime factor

#

then ab will have this prime factor squared

#

while c only has 1 of this

#

thus it cannot divide

#

an example of this is a = 2, b = 6, c = 6

#

2|6, 6|6, but 12 does not divide 6

#

@junior wagon

junior wagon
eager ravine
#

what is prime factorization of 12

junior wagon
#

12 = 2x2x3

eager ravine
#

you don't write out the same prime multiplying you write it as a power

junior wagon
#

$12=2^{2}*3$

flat frigateBOT
#

Kurama

eager ravine
#

yes

#

and the prime 2 is squared

#

2 is the prime factor in a, b, and c

#

in fact the easiest example for this is a = b = c = 2

#

2^2 does not divide 2

#

because the power of the prime is higher

junior wagon
#

ohhh that just clicked \

thanks

junior wagon
#

For part a, how would i find the identity and inverse matrices?

junior wagon
#

if they exist

final halo
#

if it were a group, it would be a subgroup of the 2x2 invertible matrices so would have the same identity

#

just the identity matrix

#

oh sorry was thinking about multiplication

junior wagon
#

im also not familiar with the term subgroup

final halo
#

a group that is a subset of another group

junior wagon
#

ok

final halo
#

okay so if we're adding matrices together what do you think the identity might be

junior wagon
#

yeah, the zero matrix. Since A + 0 = A = 0 + A

final halo
#

right

#

and the zero matrix lives in our G here right?

#

bc it has the right form

junior wagon
#

oh yeah, thats right

final halo
#

so we have an additive identity, great

junior wagon
#

Ok, so for the inverse, we can take $A^{-1} = -A$?

flat frigateBOT
#

Kurama

final halo
#

yes that will work

junior wagon
#

ok, linear algebra is coming back to me

final halo
#

one thing you need to check also, is that if we add two things in G we get back something in G

junior wagon
#

Right, that checks that it is a binary operation right

final halo
#

checking that we're our set is closed under the binary operation yeah

#

which is what we need for a group

junior wagon
#

Ok, then for part b, iirc matrix multiplication is associative

final halo
#

uh huh

#

true

#

check some of the other things

junior wagon
#

We can take the identity matrix where $$ \mathit{I}_2= \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$

flat frigateBOT
#

Kurama

final halo
#

we can

#

btw did you check whether the additive group was abelian

junior wagon
#

I forgot to, but it should be

#

yeah I think it is

final halo
#

yeah it will be

junior wagon
#

since regular addition is commutative

final halo
#

exactly, nice

#

so for multiplicative we have identity, and associativity

#

so far

#

what should we check next

junior wagon
#

Inverse, I feel like that is harder

final halo
#

good choice

junior wagon
#

So we need something such that $AA^{-1} = I_2$

flat frigateBOT
#

Kurama

final halo
#

well we already know something that does that right?

feral linden
#

Why do you think any element has to have an inverse for b)…

final halo
feral linden
#

Sorry I see

junior wagon
#

Just take the inverse of A?

final halo
#

right... but

#

we need EVERY element in G to have a multiplicative inverse

#

if an element were to have one, it would be the usual matrix inverse

#

but

#

can we say that all our matrices in G have a matrix inverse?

junior wagon
#

ohh ok

#

Well no, if det A = 0 then it has no inverse iirc

final halo
#

right

#

and is that a possibility in G?

junior wagon
#

Yeah, the zero matrix

final halo
#

ah, well

#

little snag here

#

wait nvm

#

yeah zero works

junior wagon
#

I mean there are plenty, Like (1 1, 1 1)

final halo
#

yeah yeah good okay you see it

#

any where ab=c^2

#

so, is G a group under multiplication?

junior wagon
#

no

final halo
#

hurray

junior wagon
#

okok haha thanks

#

thanks guys

Does anyone know how to algebraically solve x^ln(x)=xln(x)?
I thought of, by concept, ln(x)=1 so that x^1 =(1)(x) which always hold true
So x=e is indeed the only answer (checked on the graph), but algebraically how did is x=e an answer?

safe radishBOT
#

@grand wolf Has your question been resolved?

grand wolf
#

I'm sorry but... <@&286206848099549185>

final halo
#

You would need to use the lambert W function

grand wolf
#

W(xe^x)=x right?
yes I need the step-by-step solution anyways

winter pivot
#

$\exp(\ln^2(x)) = x\ln(x)$

flat frigateBOT
#

EndTimes

grand wolf
#

x^ln(x) is e^(ln(x))^2?

#

Just like... someone jog down a step-by-step solution from x^ln(x) = xln(x) till x=e

final halo
#

,,\begin{align*} &x\ln x = x^{\ln x} \ &W(x\ln x) = W(x^{\ln x}) \ &\ln x = W(x^{\ln x}) \ &x = e^{W(x^{\ln x})}\ &x = \frac{x}{W(x^{\ln x})} \ &W(x^{\ln x}) = 1 \ &x^{\ln x} = e\ &\ln(x^{\ln x}) = 1\ &(\ln x)^2 = 1\ &\ln x = \pm 1\ &x = e^{\pm 1} \end{align*}

I'm confused at why I'm getting the wrong answer

#

here are my steps:
$\frac{sin(α)}{a} = \frac{sin(β)}{b}$

flat frigateBOT
vagrant pasture
#

$\frac{sin(25)}{18} = \frac{sin(β)}{30}$

flat frigateBOT
grand wolf
#

So angle B is 44.77816685 degrees?

vagrant pasture
#

yeah

#

but imi getting 78

#

:/

#

$\frac{5 *sin(25)}{5 * 18} = \frac{3 *sin(β)}{3 *30}$

can I assum e that the angle at the gray plane is also 30?

#

I think you're meant to do smth like this?

#

I'm not sure what the question is though

vagrant pasture
#

yeah

regal girder
#

what are you trying to find exactly?

vagrant pasture
#

so I'm wondering if the angle (above one)just after the gray plane is also 30

#

symmetric to the one on the ground

regal girder
#

yeah I think it is

vagrant pasture
#

ok then in that case

#

I think I can do sin(30) = 2/hypotenuse (using km)

#

find the hypotenuse

#

and use sine law

#

$\frac{\frac{2}{sin(30)}}{180-(30+55)} = \frac{x}{sin(55)}$

flat frigateBOT
#

ウラハラキスケ

vagrant pasture
#

$\frac{\frac{2}{sin(30)}}{180-(30+55)}*sin(55) = x$

then my answer is = $\frac{x}{\frac{1}{6}}$

smoky lava
#

In algebra, i^2 = -1. How is this possible?

safe radishBOT
smoky lava
#

i = imaginary unit

inner sable
#

it's just defined like that

#

there is no more reason

smoky lava
#

?

#

Seems kinda dogma-ey

#

I mean, this is information that has been introduced to me from khanacademy

grand wolf
#

It has alot of applications
But conventionally it's just i^2 = -1

smoky lava
peak estuary
#

it's literally just a definition

inner sable
#

because it helps resolving equation

peak estuary
#

which is insanely helpful. but in the end just a definition

inner sable
#

and it helps in physics

woeful plume
#

Engineering uses j sometimes for i

#

But yeah, just a def otherwise

smoky lava
#

What is simply just i?

#

defined as

#

So we can't find out what i is ?

#

Seems so strange!

inner sable
#

i is the number such that i^2 = -1

#

that's all

smoky lava
#

My misconceptions stems from the fact that an even number of negatives always results in a positive

#

-2^2 = 4

#

-2^4 = 16

peak estuary
#

i is neither negative nor positive

smoky lava
#

hmmm

peak estuary
#

it's in a different direction

woeful plume
#

i is "different"

bronze prism
#

you mean (-2)^2 and (-2)^4, careful about your brackets

woeful plume
#

It doesn't fit in with 3, 2.9, π, ...

smoky lava
#

it's just that based? 🤣

bronze prism
#

It's like this

#

Good luck trying to put i on the horizontal line in the middle

#

It's just not

woeful plume
#

It didn't fit in with the numbers you and I are familiar with, so we just gave it its own name

woeful plume
bronze prism
#

Another explanation of i I saw once is that it's a number that "rotates" the numbers it's multiplied with by 90°

#

If you multiply 1 by i, that's i, a 90° rotation

woeful plume
bronze prism
#

Multiply by it twice, you multiply by i², so a 180° rotation

#

But hang on, isn't reversing exactly what changing the sign does?

#

Indeed, to "flip" a number 180°, you multiply it by -1

#

Geometrically, that's why i²=-1

#

Both of them are 180° rotations

@smoky lava Has your question been resolved?

i² = -1

Now just use mod 4 they all repeat in cycles of 4

How do I do (ii)

fading raft
#

a-levels just expect u to memorize this shiz

#

what is the range of values of x for the normal binomial expansion

real wyvern
#

is it that for (1+x)^n, |x|<1

#

so for this the product of -9x has to be <1

ancient scroll
#

$x\leq8/9$

flat frigateBOT
#

justinkim

real wyvern
#

why is it that?

vocal portal
#

shouldn't it work for any real number?

#

since numerator'll give positive number anyway

#

and denumerator is root of 3

#

so it still works for negatives

#

no complex numbers emerging

fading raft
#

$(8-9x)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{2}{3}}(1-\frac{9x}{8})^{\frac{2}{3}}$

#

azeem321

real wyvern
#

oh right so because 9*8/9 =8, |x| has to be less than 8/9 otherwise it would be 1-1

so?

there is no rule against taking a root nor power of 0

In a box there are 10 red spheres and 6 black ones . We pick randomly from the box , we get a sphere but we dont know what color it is . After we get the speheres we dont put them in the box again
Whats the probability for both spheres to be same color

I have to use u-sub here

safe radishBOT
lean otter
#

so to start it off, do I distribute?

stoic dune
#

You can fully distribute everything, that's a way to solve

#

But, uh, I wouldn't

#

You're looking for some expression, such that the derivative of that expression also exists somewhere

lean otter
#

come again?

eager ravine
#

clearly the (x^3 + 3x)^4 is the more nested part

#

so find some f(g(x)) = (x^3 + 3x)^4

for f and g

hybrid void
#

i’m confused on how to solve for x,

safe radishBOT
hybrid void
#

x?*

cursive thorn
#

so we know this triangle is an isosceles right triangle

stray socket
#

45-45-90 theorem

#

Just use that

cursive thorn
#

since it has a 90 degree angle and the missing angle is 180-90-45

#

is 45

#

so you know $y=2 \sqrt{2}$, and so $x=2 \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} = 4$

flat frigateBOT
#

Induction

worthy hemlock
cursive thorn
worthy hemlock
cursive thorn
# worthy hemlock

doesn't it just mean explain where you got it from? explaining and elaborating means giving the math behind it no?

hybrid void
cursive thorn
#

if x is the side length and not the hypotenuse

#

by pythagorean theorem the hypotenuse is sqrt(x^2+ x^2) = xsqrt(2)

#

so in the case of this 45-45-90 triangle if x is the side length the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times that length

worthy hemlock
#

So you providing necessary info to help them solve it themselves is better than you doing it all yourself

hybrid void
#

so if we were trying to find the stuff other than the hypotenuse we would do __/square 2 times square 2/square 2 or if they already have that square thing we just times square only and don’t have to add square 2 as the denominator for the other number

lean otter
#

Find all triplets of (distinct) primes such that the difference between the largest and the smallest is less than 6.

lean otter
#

hm

#

how do i do this

quasi bison
#

first consider triplets that include 2, then consider those that don't

#

since this problem mentions primes directly in its statement, one might be inclined to think about the concept of divisibility, which is of course closely related to primes

safe radishBOT
#

@lean otter Has your question been resolved?

lean otter
#

but i don't know what to consider

#

don't know what to try

quasi bison
#

let's say a triple includes 2.
at what position can the number 2 appear in the triple? (first? second? third?)

#

this question is simpler than you think and definitely elementary

#

though i suppose that i must say explicitly that i'm treating these prime triples as being sorted in ascending order

#

i know for a fact that you are able to answer my question

#

if you have decided to do some thinking on your own then please tell me "i am currently thinking on my own without your prompts" otherwise i will get very upset

safe radishBOT
#

@lean otter Has your question been resolved?

lean otter
#

the middle number doesnt matter tho

#

oh does it

#

ah yes

#

so, if a triplet has 2

#

it has to have 8, which isnt prime

#

so that wont work

#

@quasi bison

quasi bison
#

are you sure?

#

reread the problem statement

#

i think you misread it.

#

and you also chose not to answer my questions...

lean otter
#

oh less than six

#

i am currently thinking on my own without your prompts but i still have no idea what to do

#

this problem feels hard

#

if it has a two, then it has to have 3, 5 or 7 in it

#

now check what if 2 is not in the triple

quasi bison
lean otter
quasi bison
#

you would have done much better to say "if the triple includes 2, then the only other numbers that could go in the triple are 3, 5 and 7" and then verified that (2,3,5), (2,3,7) and (2,5,7) are all valid triples and there are no others that include 2.

quasi bison
# lean otter how?

if your triple doesn't contain 2, what can you say about all three numbers in it?

#

i mean, one thing you could say is "i am once again choosing not to follow any of your prompts" of course

quasi bison
#

that is true

#

but what is special about primes that are greater than 2?

quasi bison
#

correct

#

so given that (p,q,r) is a triple of odd primes with p < q < r which satisfies the requirement of the problem, what can you say about r - p?

quasi bison
#

r - p < 6 is what's given

#

but in light of what you said above, it can be refined

lean otter
quasi bison
#

i would like you to think about what you just said

lean otter
#

sorry, i mean 2 or 4

quasi bison
#

that's more like it

#

but it can still be refined

lean otter
#

hm

#

i dont see it

unique bison
#

r and p are odd

quasi bison
#

note that p < q < r

#

and all three of them are odd

lean otter
#

can it not be 4 or smth

quasi bison
#

think about what the difference between two distinct odd numbers can be

#

think about why i would've mentioned q

lean otter
#

if the difference were two, than q would have to be in between

#

making it even

#

which is not possible

quasi bison
#

yes

#

so in fact all triples that don't include 2 are necessarily of the form (p, p+2, p+4)

lean otter
quasi bison
#

there is an argument to be made here involving divisibility by three

#

it will help cut down the search space significantly

lean otter
quasi bison
#

i don't know what you mean by that

lean otter
#

oh wait we have to use mod 3?

#

hm

lean otter
quasi bison
#

no

#

not trial and error by any means

#

you need only notice that among the numbers p, p+2 and p+4, no matter what p is, there will always be exactly one number that is a multiple of 3.

runic crag
#

Ok I still need some help with this apparently

lean otter
#

what is the domain of x

runic crag
#

It doesn't matter, the questions asks how many real whole number solutions there are

#

I'm getting either -1 and +1 or everything below -1 depending on how I do it

lean otter
#

well it can't be because everything below -1 contains -4, which is impossible

runic crag
#

This is what I did first

#

Then I was told that I should set up a inequality sign thingy, so I watched some video about that

#

So I did this

lean otter
#

it's not safe to do cross product when manipulating inequalities, if x is negative, then multiplying by x in the LHS inverses the inequality

lean otter
#

you made a mistake in the fourth line

runic crag
lean otter
#

not -x+4

lean otter
#

in the end when you get a/b < 0

#

this means a and b have opposite signs

runic crag
lean otter
runic crag
#

Oh, I should just do -1/x on both sides?

lean otter
runic crag
#

Ahh, very smart

lean otter
#

this way you can't make a mistake

runic crag
#

Ok, should be able to solve this ez now

lean otter
runic crag
#

Haha noice

#

Slightly unrelated, is there a way to remove x terms from a denominator if it says x+4 for example?

safe radishBOT
#

@runic crag Has your question been resolved?

runic crag
#

Ok nevermind I did not in fact solve it easily

#

I still get the same thing

#

X^2 = 1

lean otter
# runic crag

how do you get from the fourth to the fifth line ?

runic crag
#

Well, I just wanted to find where x=0

#

bottom can't equal 0

lean otter
#

do you want to solve an inequality or an equality

runic crag
#

inequality

lean otter
#

then you can't set it =0

runic crag
lean otter
#

solutions are intervals

#

so you have a ratio which is <= 0

runic crag
#

Well I thought I could find those intervalls by finding were x=0

lean otter
#

either $4x^2-4 \leq 0$ and $x(x+4) \geq 0$ or the opposite

runic crag
flat frigateBOT
#

AimaneSN

runic crag
#

So do I have to test both cases?

lean otter
#

the final solution would be the union of these two cases

runic crag
#

Damn, is there no way to get rid of the x in the denominator

lean otter
#

yeah no way

#

but working with inequalities isn't hard

runic crag
#

That cat doesn't look very happy

lean otter
#

haha

runic crag
#

Just some very basic stuff

lean otter
#

this one is a bit messy

runic crag
#

I did easier ones first, in the khan video

lean otter
#

like try to solve $x(x+1) \geq 0$ for example

flat frigateBOT
#

AimaneSN

lean otter
#

anyway you're free to ask about anything you're stuck at

runic crag
lean otter
#

I mean union of intervals

runic crag
#

(-infinity, -1) U (0, infinity)

#

Umm ok, I still did something wrong but it’s looking promising

#

Oh it can't be -4 either I guess, since at the beginning the denominator was (x+4)

#

Think I got it right this time

broken nimbus
#

in 3d coordinates [x,y,z] does x represent the distance or y?

nova creek
#

All three represent a distance from the origin in a certain direction

broken nimbus
spice grove
#

Conventionally x. Then again it depends on what you assume it to be.

nova creek
#

Dunno. It depends on the orientation of the coordinate system

#

Plus, couldn't both x and y be horizontal? If we're orienting it so that the z axis points straight up

broken nimbus
#

for e.g a person throws a frisbee at a force of [3,9,8] and at a distance of [4,8,4] and i want to find the work in the horizontal distance
so that would be [3,0,0] · [4,0,0]?

nova creek
#

Horizontal is too general, I think. I would use more precise wording, such as "in the x direction"

broken nimbus
#

[3,0,0] · [4,0,0]

#

bcuz on the actaul plane, the y takes the x position

nova creek
#

I believe so, if it's in the x direction

broken nimbus
#

so idk if its that or [0,9,0]·[0,8,0]

nova creek
#

Post the original question

broken nimbus
#

a person throws a frisbee at a force of [3,9,8] and at a distance of [4,8,4] and i want to find the work in the horizontal distance

nova creek
#

Perhaps it's [3, 9, 0] • [4, 8, 0], because both the x and the y will be horizontal if the z axis points up

broken nimbus
#

here it looks like y is x

nova creek
#

Nah, x is just jutting out from the screen. It's just hard to depict that in 2d

broken nimbus
#

hmm idk what to plug in than

#

bcuz if it was gravity it woudve been just z

nova creek
#

The force and distance in the horizontal direction is just the force and distance without the vertical direction, aka, without z

broken nimbus
#

but if im only asking for the distance than what would it be?

nova creek
#

Well, the distance vector would be [3, 9, 0]

#

Because thats the distance vector projected on the xy plane

broken nimbus
#

but when im asking "determine the work in the horizontal axis" or "x direction" woudnt that be just one of the axis and not two?

nova creek
#

There is no "horizontal axis". There's an x, y, and z axes. If it's oriented with z vertical, then both x and y are horizontal

#

If it's asking for "x direction" that's a different story, but your question was asking for horizontal direction

broken nimbus
#

how would i word it better

nova creek
#

Specify an axis. Either x, y, or z

broken nimbus
#

well, i saw another question where it was asking the work done by gravity

#

which would be the negative z axis

#

so is there another word for the x axis

nova creek
#

Gravity points downward, which is negative z

#

Upward and downward is pretty set in stone, most people can agree

#

But horizontal axes? Left and right? That's relative to the person and their orientation

broken nimbus
#

what if i draw a diagram so its clear for all

nova creek
#

I still see no reason why you wouldn't just say "along the x axis" or "along the y axis" if your set on just one axis. Saying anything else seems like it'll just lead to unnecessary confusion

broken nimbus
nova creek
#

The vectors along the x axis are [3, 0, 0] and [4, 0, 0]

#

So it'd be the dot product of those

broken nimbus
#

right and if i say the horizontal than it would be [3, 9, 0] • [4, 8, 0],

broken nimbus
nova creek
#

Wdym by efficient

#

Using just one axis has easier computation, I guess

broken nimbus
nova creek
#

Idk. Saying "horizontally" might still be ambiguous

true

#

any idea how to start integrating term by term ?

obtuse jackal
#

it's almost the second derivative of x^(n+2)

kind dove
#

hmm

#

what to do with it

#

?

#

if I integrate it in this from i will get rid of n+1

obtuse jackal
#

I don't know if this can work well to compute the series, but if you then factor one x out, you have n x^n which is an easy integral. Then you have a function instead of a sum

kind dove
#

in my book is factoed x^2 out

#

i dont know the reason

obtuse jackal
#

can you send an image ? It'd be much easier to understand if I can see

kind dove
#

342/2

#

This is solution

obtuse jackal
#

they do end up integrating twice, it just looks slightly different due to the order in which it's done

kind dove
#

i dont get it

#

why x^2 g(x)

obtuse jackal
#

just integrate f. Then factor x² out. Then call the other factor g(x)

#

a much more natural order of operations for the same result

ok, thanks i will try it

Dividing the two values, you can determine how many discs you can make

uncut tiger
#

but book answer says the answer should be 30

worthy hemlock
uncut tiger
#

I found a solution online but it makes no sense whatsoever

worthy hemlock
#

Books, can have tons of typos

#

Ask your teacher, maybe your teacher can help you out

#

That was the proper process

uncut tiger
#

true, i'll ask him tmrw

#

You'll never get 100% packing efficiency

#

So that's why your answer does not match

uncut tiger
#

no worries

#

i dont know how to do this

sonic basalt
#

okay so

#

thats a transformation

#

mapping from ABCD to A'B'C'D

#

what do u notice happens with the x and y values

#

like B goes from (1,6) to (0, 3) and C goes from (8, 6) to (4,3)

#

any scale factors?

rustic knoll
#

Can anyone help me learn how Khan's Academy solved this?

rustic knoll
#

I understand that 7p^4 is the greatest common factor of 49p^8 and 42p^4 but I don't understand how they got to (7p^4 +3)^2

regal girder
#

$a = 7p^4, b = 3$

then we have

$$a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2$$

flat frigateBOT
rustic knoll
#

so the formula for this is a^2 + 2ab + b^2?

regal girder
#

this as in what this

#

the question or $(a + b)^2$?

flat frigateBOT
rustic knoll
#

how to factor a trinomial

regal girder
#

it really depends

distant trench
#

grouping works most times

regal girder
#

$$x^2 - x - 2$$ is also a trinomial but is factored as $(x - 2)(x + 1)$ instead

flat frigateBOT
regal girder
#

so it doesn't have to be $a^2 + 2ab + b^2$

flat frigateBOT
distant trench
#

that's only for perfect squares

rustic knoll
#

how do you know which way to do it?

regal girder
#

depends on question I guess? sometimes you try a few ways and end up finding the right one

#

sometimes it's easier to see

rustic knoll
#

ok I'll keep trying, thank you

young osprey
#

how to prove that

safe radishBOT
young osprey
#

$\gcd(4^n,5^n)=1$

flat frigateBOT
#

megi-san

light shoal
regal girder
#

Not rigorous but
$$4^n = 2^{2n}$$ which has no factor of 5

flat frigateBOT
regal girder
flat frigateBOT
young osprey
#

yes

regal girder
#

there's only 2's

#

for the other one, there's only 5's

young osprey
#

i know but how to prove it with math

#

i know just the first step

light shoal
young osprey
#

yes

#

i have to say first

light shoal
#

example argument:

young osprey
#

that $\gcd(4^n,5^n)=d$

flat frigateBOT
#

megi-san

light shoal
#

I claim that the only prime factor of 4^n is 2

#

clearly true for n=1

young osprey
#

the prove that d=1

light shoal
#

now assume it's true for a given n

#

then 4^(n+1) = 4 * 4^n = (2*2) * 4^n

#

and since 4^n only has 2 as a prime factor (because of the induction hypothesis), therefore so does 4^(n+1)

#

then do the same thing for 5^n, show that it only has 5 as a prime factor

teal cape
#

if 2x^2-4x-5=0, solve x1^3+x2^3

safe radishBOT
teal cape
#

i used viète but it just gives me left over

fading raft
#

So

#

I am assuming again you cannot just find the roots

#

and then cube them?

#

You have to use vieta?

teal cape
#

i don’t see another way

fading raft
#

Hint: Consider $(x_1+x_2)^3$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

teal cape
#

oh, so it would be (x1^3+x3^3)^3= 0

#

i’m wrong, that doesn’t seem right

#

it should be
(3x^2*3 + (-4^3))^3 - 5 = 0 but this seems wrong as well

lean otter
#

expand it and see what it results

teal cape
#

gives wrong answer

lean otter
#

what did u get

teal cape
#

-2.702056333

lean otter
#

no when u expand

teal cape
#

oh

#

lemme check

lean otter
#

u should get something like $x_1^3+$ ... $+x_2^3$

flat frigateBOT
#

Jester

teal cape
#

dunno, i don’t think we are meant to expand

fading raft
#

You remember binomial expanasion for $(a+b)^3$?

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

fading raft
#

Now let $a=x_1$ and $b=x_2$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

teal cape
#

that’s what i did

teal cape
#

however that is wrong

fading raft
#

That looks wrong...

#

Firstly, expand out $(a+b)^3$ and tell me what u get

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

teal cape
#

(2x^2 + (-4x)) ^3

#

there’s nothing to multiply in front of the brackets

#

i just replaced a with 2x and b with -4x

fading raft
#

bruh

#

we keep giving u instructions

#

but u keep ignoring

#

expand out (a+b)^3 in terms of a and b

teal cape
#

j don’t get what you mean…

#

show me and then i’ll see if i get it

fading raft
#

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

fading raft
#

Now find $(a+b)^3$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

teal cape
#

oh, should be
$(2x^2)^2 + 2(2x^2 * (-4x)) + -4x^2$

flat frigateBOT
#

brenny

teal cape
#

is that right so far

lean otter
#

where are you getting 2x, -4x?

fading raft
#

🤦‍♂️

teal cape
fading raft
#

i give up

teal cape
#

read the first bit

lean otter
#

what is $(x_1+x_2)^3$

flat frigateBOT
#

Jester

teal cape
#

sorry but like x1^2 + x2^3 isn’t a + b

#

what am i even meant to do with x1^2 + x2^3 if they don’t have values

#

i just replace those with the value and then solve it

fading raft
#

Can you see what I have done here

#

with the a^2+2ab+b^2

teal cape
#

what am i meant to do other than assign them values

#

and then solve the problem

fading raft
#

but for now

#

lets expend out

#

to make sure you've done it properly

lean otter
#

$(x_1+x_2)^3 = x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 x_2 + 3x_1 x_2^2 +x_2^3 = x_1^3+x_2^3+3x_1 x_2(x_1+x_2)$

flat frigateBOT
#

Jester

teal cape
#

you expanded this already though

fading raft
#

do u understand what jester wrote above

teal cape
#

no, not really

#

he expanded i think

fading raft
#

Do you understand how expanding works

#

have u learned binomial expansion

teal cape
#

yeah of course

#

but right now i don’t see how that fits into the problem

#

the way we did it in class is different

fading raft
#

So your goal is to find $x_1^3+x_2^3$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

fading raft
#

But from what Jester wrote above, we can rewrite it as \$x_1^3+x_2^3=(x_1+x_2)^3-3x_1x_2(x_1+x_2)$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

fading raft
#

Do you get this?

teal cape
#

okay, yeah

#

now i just place the values

fading raft
#

From vieta, what is $x_1+x_2$ and $x_1x_2$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

fading raft
#

2x^2-4x-5=0

teal cape
#

yep

fading raft
#

what is the value of $x_1+x_2$ and $x_1x_2$

flat frigateBOT
#

azeem321

teal cape
#

the value of x1= 2x^2 and the value of x2= -4x

#

right?

lean otter
#

$x_1$ and $x_2$ are the roots of your equation

flat frigateBOT
#

Jester

teal cape
#

sorry but i need to go over it with my prof, can i just get the answer for the question?

fading raft
#

lol

#

no go away

teal cape
#

i just don’t get what you’re saying

#

you’re talking about some expansion when you’ve already expanded

teal cape
#

if it’s the root then x1 and x2 can be found in the equation

fading raft
#

You clearly don't understand this topic. Or perhaps there might some significant gaps in your knowledge. My recommendation to you is watch some videos on youtube.

#

try this

teal cape
#

does this perhaps tie into the quad formula?

#

i’m so tired to understand anything

#

i’ll figure it out in the morning
