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:
According to the homework, this has both a trail and a circuit
@lean plank Has your question been resolved?
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
So it is possible to be both?
why not
but I don't know how many sophisticated posibillites that have both there exists

I was able to prove this. But I was wondering for part b, what does removing the assumption gcd(a,b) =1 actually do?
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
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
what do you mean prime factor squared?
what is prime factorization of 12
12 = 2x2x3
you don't write out the same prime multiplying you write it as a power
$12=2^{2}*3$
Kurama
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

For part a, how would i find the identity and inverse matrices?
if they exist
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
im also not familiar with the term subgroup
a group that is a subset of another group
ok
okay so if we're adding matrices together what do you think the identity might be
yeah, the zero matrix. Since A + 0 = A = 0 + A
oh yeah, thats right
so we have an additive identity, great
Ok, so for the inverse, we can take $A^{-1} = -A$?
Kurama
yes that will work
ok, linear algebra is coming back to me
one thing you need to check also, is that if we add two things in G we get back something in G
Right, that checks that it is a binary operation right
checking that we're our set is closed under the binary operation yeah
which is what we need for a group
Ok, then for part b, iirc matrix multiplication is associative
We can take the identity matrix where $$ \mathit{I}_2= \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$
Kurama
yeah it will be
since regular addition is commutative
exactly, nice
so for multiplicative we have identity, and associativity
so far
what should we check next
Inverse, I feel like that is harder
good choice
So we need something such that $AA^{-1} = I_2$
Kurama
well we already know something that does that right?
Why do you think any element has to have an inverse for b)…
we're getting there
Sorry I see
Just take the inverse of A?
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?
Yeah, the zero matrix
I mean there are plenty, Like (1 1, 1 1)
yeah yeah good okay you see it
any where ab=c^2
so, is G a group under multiplication?
hurray

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?
@grand wolf Has your question been resolved?
I'm sorry but... <@&286206848099549185>
You would need to use the lambert W function
W(xe^x)=x right?
yes I need the step-by-step solution anyways
$\exp(\ln^2(x)) = x\ln(x)$
EndTimes
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
,,\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:
$\frac{sin(α)}{a} = \frac{sin(β)}{b}$
Krish
$\frac{sin(25)}{18} = \frac{sin(β)}{30}$
Krish
So angle B is 44.77816685 degrees?
yeah
but imi getting 78
:/
$\frac{5 *sin(25)}{5 * 18} = \frac{3 *sin(β)}{3 *30}$
Krish
So yeah
Uhm sometimes wolfram alpha just straight up fails
Or maybe... Just maybe you typed a syntax that messed it up?
😳 wheeze
but i didn't know it came in decimal form

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
yeah
what are you trying to find exactly?
so I'm wondering if the angle (above one)just after the gray plane is also 30
symmetric to the one on the ground
yeah I think it is
ok then in that case
I think I can do sin(30) = 2/hypotenuse (using km)
find the hypotenuse
and use sine law
$\frac{\frac{2}{sin(30)}}{180-(30+55)} = \frac{x}{sin(55)}$
ウラハラキスケ
$\frac{\frac{2}{sin(30)}}{180-(30+55)}*sin(55) = x$
ウラハラキスケ
then my answer is = $\frac{x}{\frac{1}{6}}$

In algebra, i^2 = -1. How is this possible?
i = imaginary unit
?
Seems kinda dogma-ey
I mean, this is information that has been introduced to me from khanacademy
It has alot of applications
But conventionally it's just i^2 = -1
There's not much of a reason I can deduce as to why this is the case?
it's literally just a definition
because it helps resolving equation
which is insanely helpful. but in the end just a definition
and it helps in physics
What is simply just i?
defined as
So we can't find out what i is ?
Seems so strange!
My misconceptions stems from the fact that an even number of negatives always results in a positive
-2^2 = 4
-2^4 = 16
i is neither negative nor positive
hmmm
it's in a different direction
i is "different"
you mean (-2)^2 and (-2)^4, careful about your brackets
It doesn't fit in with 3, 2.9, π, ...
it's just that based? 🤣
It's like this
Good luck trying to put i on the horizontal line in the middle
It's just not
It didn't fit in with the numbers you and I are familiar with, so we just gave it its own name
Hence the axis being perpendicular here
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
You still need to define Im(z) though
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

i² = -1
i³ = i.i² = -i
i⁴ = i²×i² = -1×-1 = 1
Now just use mod 4 they all repeat in cycles of 4
i⁵ = i⁴×i = i

How do I do (ii)
a-levels just expect u to memorize this shiz
what is the range of values of x for the normal binomial expansion
$x\leq8/9$
justinkim
why is it that?
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
$(8-9x)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{2}{3}}(1-\frac{9x}{8})^{\frac{2}{3}}$
azeem321
oh right so because 9*8/9 =8, |x| has to be less than 8/9 otherwise it would be 1-1
but then it wouldn;t be a normal binomial expansion
oh

ido kind of know the factor theorem but wouldn't you need more info to do 7a?
would u just do trial and error or is there an actual method
find a trivial root of f (try small values)
ah ok so trial and error?
say this root is a, the factor theorem says x-a divides f
yes, but you'll quickly find the root
yeah makes sense ty
np
A trick is that the root should divide the constant term
Which narrows down your choices

i’m confused on how to solve for x,
x?*
so we know this triangle is an isosceles right triangle
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 $x=2 \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{2} = 4$
Induction
Don't do the work for people
oh ok. is that in the rules
doesn't it just mean explain where you got it from? explaining and elaborating means giving the math behind it no?
i’m confused i saw my teacher do stuff like for example 4/square 2 times square2/square2 why is it just square 2 in this case
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
You need to give the user a chance to learn too
So you providing necessary info to help them solve it themselves is better than you doing it all yourself
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

Find all triplets of (distinct) primes such that the difference between the largest and the smallest is less than 6.
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
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
ok
but i don't know what to consider
don't know what to try
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
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
hm
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
are you sure?
reread the problem statement
i think you misread it.
and you also chose not to answer my questions...
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
this statement could be made more precise.
how?
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.
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
they are greater than two
they are odd
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?
r-p<6
r-p=2, 3, or 5
i would like you to think about what you just said
sorry, i mean 2 or 4
r and p are odd
think about what the difference between two distinct odd numbers can be
think about why i would've mentioned q
ah i see
if the difference were two, than q would have to be in between
making it even
which is not possible
yes
so in fact all triples that don't include 2 are necessarily of the form (p, p+2, p+4)
now we have to find the ones that would work?
there is an argument to be made here involving divisibility by three
it will help cut down the search space significantly
the 3k, 3k+1, 3k+2 thing?
i don't know what you mean by that
is this just a bunch of trial and error now
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.
ah right
thanks

I'm getting either -1 and +1 or everything below -1 depending on how I do it
well it can't be because everything below -1 contains -4, which is impossible
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
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
I noticed this when I put it Into Desmos, mutliplying by x completely changes the answer
yes, this makes sense
in the end when you get a/b < 0
this means a and b have opposite signs
So is it still the way you’re supposed to do it?
I think you should avoid cross product, just do like you did here
Oh, I should just do -1/x on both sides?
yes
Ahh, very smart
this way you can't make a mistake
Ok, should be able to solve this ez now

Haha noice
Slightly unrelated, is there a way to remove x terms from a denominator if it says x+4 for example?
@runic crag Has your question been resolved?
Ok nevermind I did not in fact solve it easily
I still get the same thing
X^2 = 1
how do you get from the fourth to the fifth line ?
do you want to solve an inequality or an equality
inequality
then you can't set it =0
Well I thought I could find those intervalls by finding were x=0
nope that gives you individuals values, not intervals. here you have a ratio <=0, this means the numerator and the denominator have opposite signs
either $4x^2-4 \leq 0$ and $x(x+4) \geq 0$ or the opposite
Yes but those individual values should be the borders of the intervalls, that's what the kind khan academy dude taught me
AimaneSN
not true in general I think
yep, the would give separate interval solutions
the final solution would be the union of these two cases
Damn, is there no way to get rid of the x in the denominator
That cat doesn't look very happy
haha
Yeah, just haven't been taught much of it in school unfortunately
Just some very basic stuff
I see, it's better to start with easier inequalities
this one is a bit messy
I did easier ones first, in the khan video
like try to solve $x(x+1) \geq 0$ for example
AimaneSN
Ah I see
anyway you're free to ask about anything you're stuck at
x can be anything except between -1 and 0 right
yep, which interval is this ?
I mean union of intervals
(-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

Hello
What is this formula?
This is the entire thing
but i want to know this formula
here
The first part Ty = T . sen 45
I understand
but the rest
2,5 is the distance
ok
but what is the formula? anyone knows the name?
$T.sen45.2,5-64.1,25=0$
Bioleve
64 is kilograms
2,5 is distance
what is 1,25?
1,25 is half of 2,5
please

What is the latex for Summation?
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}=1$
Dex
idk bro
It is a GP
What’s that
No
Could you show me your work?
I’m learning series in algebra 2
trying to put it into latex in my notes
@tropic nymph
So, I guess you only want to expand the summation notion right?
I think (I just want to put the notation with the three numbers around it)
You can expand it like $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}$..... = 1
Trystnest
do u think theres a problem with my latex application because they aren’t in the correct place?
You forgot the \frac in your latex expression
This looks good to me
why isn’t the infinity at the top?
It is a different notation, but it means the same thing
Is there a way I can get the other notation or is it up to the app’s latex?
It is mostly up to the app

in 3d coordinates [x,y,z] does x represent the distance or y?
All three represent a distance from the origin in a certain direction
right but if im talking about horizontal distance what would that be?
Conventionally x. Then again it depends on what you assume it to be.
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
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]?
Horizontal is too general, I think. I would use more precise wording, such as "in the x direction"
true, so would it still be what i showed?
[3,0,0] · [4,0,0]
bcuz on the actaul plane, the y takes the x position
I believe so, if it's in the x direction
so idk if its that or [0,9,0]·[0,8,0]
Post the original question
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
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
here it looks like y is x
Nah, x is just jutting out from the screen. It's just hard to depict that in 2d
The force and distance in the horizontal direction is just the force and distance without the vertical direction, aka, without z
but if im only asking for the distance than what would it be?
Well, the distance vector would be [3, 9, 0]
Because thats the distance vector projected on the xy plane
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?
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
so basically i made that question and i also have to answer it so idk what type of question would be best to ask if im trying to find the work only for the distance
how would i word it better
Specify an axis. Either x, y, or z
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
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
what if i draw a diagram so its clear for all
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
ok lets say i change it to along the x axis, than what would the equation look like
this? or the one i showed
The vectors along the x axis are [3, 0, 0] and [4, 0, 0]
So it'd be the dot product of those
right and if i say the horizontal than it would be [3, 9, 0] • [4, 8, 0],
which one do u think would be more efficient
in terms of how the student reads the question. im making the question as if it was a test question
Idk. Saying "horizontally" might still be ambiguous
true

any idea how to start integrating term by term ?
it's almost the second derivative of x^(n+2)
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
can you send an image ? It'd be much easier to understand if I can see
they do end up integrating twice, it just looks slightly different due to the order in which it's done
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
got it, thanks

Discs of radius 4cm are cut from a rectangular plastic sheet of length 84 cm and width 24 cm. How many complete discs can be cut out?
Find :- The total area of the discs cut
and The area of the sheet wasted
Pls help...
You were a bit late
dude my wifi is working so slow
Find the area of the circle and the area of the rectangular sheet
make another channel lol, and this time maybe select the second one from the available channels
rectangular sheet = 2016
circle = 16 pi
Dividing the two values, you can determine how many discs you can make
answer comes 40.10
but book answer says the answer should be 30
Maybe the book could be wrong?
i highly doubt that
I found a solution online but it makes no sense whatsoever
Books, can have tons of typos
Ask your teacher, maybe your teacher can help you out
That was the proper process
true, i'll ask him tmrw
Well you have to lay the discs down in a grid pattern to maximize the number of discs
You'll never get 100% packing efficiency
So that's why your answer does not match
i figured it out
no worries

Can anyone help me learn how Khan's Academy solved this?
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
$a = 7p^4, b = 3$
then we have
$$a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2$$
Doggo
so the formula for this is a^2 + 2ab + b^2?
Doggo
how to factor a trinomial
it really depends
grouping works most times
$$x^2 - x - 2$$ is also a trinomial but is factored as $(x - 2)(x + 1)$ instead
Doggo
so it doesn't have to be $a^2 + 2ab + b^2$
Doggo
that's only for perfect squares
how do you know which way to do it?
depends on question I guess? sometimes you try a few ways and end up finding the right one
sometimes it's easier to see

how to prove that
$\gcd(4^n,5^n)=1$
megi-san
look at the prime factorizations of 4^n and 5^n and see if they have any prime factors in common?
Not rigorous but
$$4^n = 2^{2n}$$ which has no factor of 5
Doggo
i have to do it for every n
$$n \in \mathbb N$$?
Doggo
yes
then you can just do this to get the prime factors
there's only 2's
for the other one, there's only 5's
induction?
example argument:
that $\gcd(4^n,5^n)=d$
megi-san
the prove that d=1
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
man the teacher want us to do it this way

if 2x^2-4x-5=0, solve x1^3+x2^3
i used viète but it just gives me left over
So
I am assuming again you cannot just find the roots
and then cube them?
You have to use vieta?
i don’t see another way
Hint: Consider $(x_1+x_2)^3$
azeem321
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
expand it and see what it results
what did u get
-2.702056333
no when u expand
u should get something like $x_1^3+$ ... $+x_2^3$
Jester
dunno, i don’t think we are meant to expand
You remember binomial expanasion for $(a+b)^3$?
azeem321
Now let $a=x_1$ and $b=x_2$
azeem321
that’s what i did
and this should be it
however that is wrong
azeem321
(2x^2 + (-4x)) ^3
there’s nothing to multiply in front of the brackets
i just replaced a with 2x and b with -4x
bruh
we keep giving u instructions
but u keep ignoring
expand out (a+b)^3 in terms of a and b
$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$
azeem321
Now find $(a+b)^3$
azeem321
oh, should be
$(2x^2)^2 + 2(2x^2 * (-4x)) + -4x^2$
brenny
is that right so far
where are you getting 2x, -4x?
🤦♂️
.
i give up
read the first bit
what is $(x_1+x_2)^3$
Jester
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
can you see that these have values
what am i meant to do other than assign them values
and then solve the problem
we will get to the that stage
but for now
lets expend out
to make sure you've done it properly
$(x_1+x_2)^3 = x_1^3 + 3x_1^2 x_2 + 3x_1 x_2^2 +x_2^3 = x_1^3+x_2^3+3x_1 x_2(x_1+x_2)$
Jester
i’m lost. if expand then what do i do
you expanded this already though
do u understand what jester wrote above
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
So your goal is to find $x_1^3+x_2^3$
azeem321
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)$
azeem321
Do you get this?
From vieta, what is $x_1+x_2$ and $x_1x_2$
azeem321
2x^2-4x-5=0
yep
what is the value of $x_1+x_2$ and $x_1x_2$
azeem321
$x_1$ and $x_2$ are the roots of your equation
Jester
sorry but i need to go over it with my prof, can i just get the answer for the question?
i just don’t get what you’re saying
you’re talking about some expansion when you’ve already expanded
and then this guy tells me the exact same thing i’ve been doing for 10 minutes
if it’s the root then x1 and x2 can be found in the equation
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.
Art of Problem Solving's Richard Rusczyk (maybe?) describes a slick way to quickly find the sum and product of the roots of a quadratic of the form x^2 + bx + c.
try this
does this perhaps tie into the quad formula?
i’m so tired to understand anything
i’ll figure it out in the morning
