Given a basis already exists
So I could use this basis completion theorem?
Depends on whether you've seen it
But honestly that's interesting theory to know (to really get a good graso of linalg) but here it's much faster to just directly prove it's spanning
Yeah I kinda agree. So to prove spanning, do I have to show each set is contained in the other?
No, just that, by definition, span(your 3 vectors) contains S
How would I show that?
That's another good thing to know
Span(A) = Span(Span(A)) contains Span(some vectors of Span(A))
Thus it suffices to show that you can construct u, v, w
Cause I was thinking that the second set of vectors can be shown to be a linear combination of the first set of vectors just by distributing arbritary coefficients and showing that the second set of vectors is a linear combination of the first set (defintion of span).
I was just struggling to really show that the first set spans the the second one
Do you understand that? If so, is this what you're struggling to show ?
Cause your explanation has me a little confused as to how to interpret it
What I was trying to say is that basically I can show a(u + w)... for some a in R, and then I can distribute and collect like terms to show that we have (a +b)u which is just a linear combination of u which is in the span of the first set of vector u
Why would showing that be a proof ?
||You've got it in reverse||
I would say that it was one part of the proof with the second part being the other way around
Which I assume covers the reverse part?
Just do it rather than making complicated plans for simple things
But all you want is to express u, v and w in terms of these 3 vectors. That shows it's a spanning family.

Can anyone help me with these two questions?
For question number 1, I'm not sure which form to use
Should I be using recursive or explicit and why?
Explicit better because you directly substitute 20
If recursive you have to calculate a20 with a19 with a18 with a17...
@upbeat ridge Has your question been resolved?
first term * ratio^4 = 45
first term * ratio^7 = 360
find first term and ratio from this then find 20th term
@upbeat ridge Has your question been resolved?
I know the equation, but how do I get the ratio?
first term * ratio^4 = 45
first term * ratio^7 = 360
first term * ratio^20 = Final answer
first term * ratio^7 = 360
first term * ratio^4 * ratio^3 = 360
45 * ratio^3 = 360
magic
What can I do with that
find ratio
How?
ratio^3 = 360/45
ratio^3 = 8
ratio = 2
find first term by putting this value in either given equations and find first term the 20th term

What exactly are you confused about?
the wordings
I can't make out what the second method with graph is trying to convey
We have the graph y = |x| and y = 5
where did the y=5 come from? isn't module function just y=|x|?
The solution to |x| = 5 is where the two graphs intersect
y = 5 comes from how we're solving |x| = 5
can you elaborate?
The solution to f(x) = g(x) is the x value(s) where f(x) and g(x) intersect. Just let f(x) = |x| and g(x) = 5
where f(x) and g(x) intersect
is this a method or rule or something?
I never seen it before 🤨
so x for f(x)=-5 and g(x)=5?
it should come out (5,5)then tho
Well, we're setting the y values of the functions equal; that's what f(x) = g(x) means. We are also trying to find the points where the x values are equal; those x values are the solutions to f(x) = g(x). If the x value and the y value are equal, then they're the same point
No; -5 ≠ 5. f(x) = |x|
umm
im not so sure I know you are trying to convey.
you can try to use computer functions to elaborate if u wish i am a programmer
If two functions intersect, then they share a point. Thus, the y value and the x value of that point is the same
Let's try the other way around. How would you find the points where y1 = f(x) and y2 = g(x) intersect?
not sure how, I just started with functions
Well, if the functions intersect, then at that point, they have the same y value, right?
can you give an example?
on desmos maybe?
Gimme a sec
kk thnx
Do you see how, at the point where they intersect, the point on both graphs are the same? If they weren't the same they wouldn't be intersecting
In other words, if the blue line is f and the red line is g, then f(1) = g(1), because they intersect at 1
yea one is (-1,5) and other is (1,5)
so we are proving them same or something?
? Neither my graph nor your graph intersects at (-1, 5) or (1, 5)
Mine intersects at (1, 1), while yours intersects at (-5, 5) and (5, 5)
Point is, if they intersect, they share the same point, yeah?
So, in regards to this comment, the y values of the functions are equal at that point? Aka, y1 = y2?
yep
And if y1 = f(x) and y2 = g(x), then f(x) = g(x)?
Thus, if we want to find the points where f and g intersects, we have to solve f(x) = g(x)
they produce the same result no matter what yes
yea but what is the point of all this??
We can go the other way around too. If we want to solve f(x) = g(x), then we can just find the points where f and g intersect
In our case, if we want to solve |x| = 5, we can just find the points where y = |x| and y = 5 intersect
yea I get that
And the intersection points are x = -5 and x = 5
but why are we doing all this?
the concluding statement says there are solutions but isn't a function only supposed to have one image?
Wdym?
why are we proving f(x) = g(x)?
Because the question wanted us to solve |x| = 5
The graphical interpretation of this statement is the intersection of |x| and 5
You were confused about the graph, no?
nah i was confused about why are we doing what we are doing
and where does it all connect
a little bit about the graph too yea, but mostly that
The problem told us to solve |x| = 5. We are solving that because it told us to. There are two ways to do it: algebraically or graphically
The graphical method is to find the intersection between |x| and 5. Why? Because of this comment
Mod function?
I see. There's another function called the modulo which gives the remainder after dividing. I got confused
yea
The similar names make me think there might be a connection between the two, but that's irrelevant for this problem
yea
Is there any more confusion?
Why we do what?
I'm confused on why do we do what we do for given question
I am not so sure about the question itself
What do you mean "why we do what we do?" What are we doing that you are confused about?
Solve |x| = 5
is it asking us to prove |x|=5
It's hard to prove that, because |x| and 5 are two different functions
im not sure what this is
It wants to know what x values give us 5. The solution are -5 and 5. Why? Because |5| = 5 and |-5| = 5. Why isn't, say, 4 a solution? Because |4| = 4 ≠ 5
AH
FINALLY
I GET IT
It wants to know what x values give us 5
you could have told me earlier
😂
Yes. It might be more general to say what x values make both sides equal, because you may have an x value on both sides

I am looking for the lower and upper quartile for this data. Since 4 is the median, should I exclude it and only use the yellow part for Q1 and red for Q3?
no do not exclude it
so Q1 is the median of the first five, and Q3 the median of the last five

Hey how do I use the "bsplinecurve" command in WolframAlpha? Whenever I try to use it WA doesn't interpret it.
Have you looked at the documentation?
Yes, it didn't really help.
How do I make multiple inputs as shown in the example?
First line of code in the example
What about it?
What are you asking?
I am asking, how do I make an input myself using bsplinecurve with my own control points?
And what exactly in that example is not helping you to do that? pts is a list of control points
This
I literally copied it from the example
It looks like you're using wolfram alpha, which is not wolfram
I think its a mathematica function

Prove that the solution set of a system of linear equations does not change if you perform an elementary
row operation of type III (Ri → Ri + λR)
How would i go about this?
a tip i got: show that s is a solution of a system of linear equations S1 if and only if s is also a solution of the system S2. S2 being S1 after the row operation Ri → Ri + λR
but i have no idea how id do that

Does anyone know a formula for this question? I could really use some help! Thank you!
@slow basin Has your question been resolved?
The formula I think is used in this problem is h/a + h/b = 1
But I don’t know how to plug the number into the equation.
I think you can solve it like this
Suppose both have a time function for the amount of work done
f(t) = t/60
g(t) = t/240
f(t) +g(t) = 5t/240
So you would need 240/5 minutes for the work to be done
So 48 minutes
I don't know if it's right but at least it somewhat makes sense

how would i set this up?
find the number of possible committees with no art students
and also commitees with no additional constraints
23?
18 with noner
a committee has 4 students
haev you learned combinations/permutations
ive got some summer school course for math because i barely failed it
and this question
oooh this question
@hybrid mauve #❓how-to-get-help
shit man
i just dont know what to do
then lets start with finding the total number of committees possible
6
3 extra?
yea
wdym
8+10+5=23
yes
thats the number of committees that you can split them into
because the other 3 has no where to go
we are trying to find all possible committees
wdym but all?
imagine you want to create a group of 4 people
and you want to select the people from a pool of 23 people
how many different groups of 4 can you make?
hmm... idk how to explain this well
iirc isn't there just a formula for this
its combinations
yeah
so nCr?
yeah
but trying to teach the reasoning behind it
well n is just the total number of students
cause that's all of the elements in the set
or am I tripping
yes
then r is how many you "pick"
you need to first find the total number of possible committees
so n would be all and r will be the grouop?
then find the total number of possible committees excluding any art students
and subtract them for the answer
so it would be 23N5?
23c4
the possible groups
=8855
It's been a while since I've done this, but isn't the easiest way to solve this just finding how many combinations of the 3 other spots aside from the art student spot
so 18C3
then multiply it by 5 for each of the 5 art students?
I mgiht be wrong
umm idk
^?
ok what does 23c4 give you
8855
i mean what does that number represents
ummm the amount of ppl that can fit in a group
no that would be 4
can you clarify a bit more?
like could be like 1 from each class into a group or like 2 and 2 or 3 and 1
like if u had the word cat
uncan write it 6 ways
smt like that
yeah its the total number of possible committees
i have to go. the answer is 23c4-18c4. 18 because you remove the art students from the selection pool
oh wait it's at least 1 art student I'm smooth brained
lol
but yeah that's correct since 23c4 is the total number of groups
then 18c4 is the total number of groups without an art student
so no 5?
groups
they're asking how many possible groups of 4 can you make for that one group
yeah
so
23 is the total number of ppl
you need to pick 4 people from those 23 people
to make your group
yea and the possible groups that can be made is 5
why
what
nvm im lost
I thin kyou need to reread your question
they're not asking how many ways you can make 5 groups of 4
they're asking you how many ways you can make 1 group of 4 out of 23 people
yea and its 5795
so n would be the total?
and r will be the amount it is divding?

"These sets are disjointed" Does that mean all of them have to be disjointed?
If i understand its Pairwise disjoint, because B⊂A, but A∩C ∪ B∩C = Ø
they are not pairwise disjoint because like you said B is a subset of A
"these sets are disjointed" is ambiguous
it probably means pairwise
Might be fault of my translation
I've got two questions(T/F)
these sets are disjoint
these sets are pairwise disjoint
Since there are 3 sets its confusing.
well like I said the first question is ambiguous and I don't wanna answer it. the answer to the second question is false because B is a subset of A

I have the equation 10x + 6 = 5x +6
x=0
subtract 5x+6 from both sides
how did you get 5x = x
Do you mean 5x=0?
if you subtract 5x+6 from both sides then that's what you should get

its what you use to prove that triangles are conguent
look what elements they have in common
same angles
symmetrical
what does it mean "which congruence test"
how would you apply
SSS,SAS
and where is A

it's not
✅
but they have the same side lengths
im only seeing equal angles
im just looking at it
look at the angles
yes
ok
so
whats the test
AAS
yeah
sp what
line sp
what with line sp
isnt that a S too
you dont know its congruent with anything
wdym
i dont understand but ok
it doesnt explicitly tell us anything does it
im braindead
yup
see?
ok
you dont know that
thanks
but wait
its not sealed right
so with the same angles it has to be the same length
since they both have to go to one point
no it doesnt

,rotate
maybe write it as a function of x
like?
y = (120-3x)/4
now plug in x's from 1
yes
You see 30 and 0 is an option
The way you can get the next option is to reduce 4y by multiples of 4 and then checking if you can get an x value that works
For the x value to work you need the 120-4y to be divisible by 3
So 4y itself needs to be divisible by 3
Answer is 15 ?
Ye but if you know the answer tell me if this is correct
so we have $y = \frac{120-3x}{4}$
Ok
lets factor a 3
So i can explain without the chance of my explanation being wrong
why does it equal that
$y = \frac{3}{4}(40-x)$
💀
3(40-x) is 120 - 3x correct?
yup
so 3/4(40-x) = (120-3x)/4
no need for that
yes
3x+4y=120
we subtract 3x
4y= 120 - 3x
we factor a 3
4y = 3(40-x)
we divide by 4
y= 3/4(40-x)
Okay?
now we know x is a positive integer
shouldn't 40-x/4 too
no
y
3/4(40-x)/4 would mean 16 in the denominator
I can do this if you want
(3(40-x))/4
but its the same thing
let me just use latex
i dont see how its the same thing
$\frac{3(40-x)}{4}$
y=(3(40-x))/4
yup
now x is a positive integer
can you see that after x goes above 40 we'll get negative values for y
yup
so we only need to look at numbers from 1 to 40
we can get some more intuition, though
how
why
yup
7/4
yup
yup
3(40-x) now this needs to be a multiple of 4 so (40-x) needs to be a multiple of 4
since 3 isn't a multiple of 4
You're now just finding values of x for which 40 - x is a multiple of 4
i dont get it
Which part
everything
bruh

do you understand till here?
ya
and the fact that x can only be from 1 to 40
yup
is 5 divisible by 4?
yes 3(40-x) has to be a multiple of 4
so
can 3*(a number not a multiple of 4)
ever be a multiple of 4?
4,8,16,20,24,28,32,36,40
how
8 is a multiple of 4
12
8 is a multiple of 4
no
yes so it cant
You literally listed it
yes
so no
so we have deduced that if 3(40-x) a multiple of 4 then (40-x) has to be a multiple of 4
okay?
yup
wait
that means x must be a multiple of 4 right
so its 36,32,28,24,20,16,12,8, or 4
yes you are correct
yahoo
thats it
do i just plug all of those?
Dont even need to plug them
cuz the question asks for how many
Just count how many valid x
oh
Yee
so
just count these 36,32,28,24,20,16,12,8,4
i just count how much then div by 2
Why divide
no dont divide
Pairs of x and y
each x gives a y
oh
Every x has a y
that makes it a pair

hello
hello
bye
i need to do this and im confused
i know its done similar to this
but im confused-
do you know how to do multiplication like this in base ten?
yes yes
right well it works exactly the same in hex
addition and multiplication of digits just works somewhat differently
where im stuck at is if the number is higher than 16 i have to convert it to hexa am i correct?
you are working in hexadecimal...
if you want to do the digit-by-digit multiplication in base ten to make it easier for yourself then by all means do so
but you will have to convert back into hexadecimal regardless of the value
when you say "idk how that is working", do you mean "i don't understand how 143_10 becomes 8F_16, 140_10 becomes 8C_16 etc." or do you mean "i don't understand why we have to do these conversions in the first place"?
the first one
so what you're saying is, you have forgotten how to convert between decimal and hex.
yes-
in the general case it involves a bunch of long division
there are also shortcuts for base sixteen specifically (namely, convert to binary first then convert bin to hex which is easy)
it's remainder, not "reminder". a reminder is something you put on your phone to make sure you don't forget the doctor's appointment.
and in this particular case, when the number you're converting has at most two digits in hexadecimal,
yes, the first digit is the quotient by 16 (i.e. the number divided by 16 and rounded down) and the second is the remainder.
okay thankyou wonderful person
did i go wrong anywhere?
the brakets are after converting to hexa
anyone here?
hello-
isn't it B.8 rather than 8.B
OH
my bddd
um this is kind of hard...
whats 2+2c in hexa? 4c?
this?
hello anyone here q-q?
i need help or a step by step guide on how to do this please
@lean otter Has your question been resolved?
it has not been resolved T-T
It's like regular multiplication, except you're in a different base
where did my answer go wrong?
You have to do a few extra steps, by converting from base 16 to base 10, to do the multiplication
What does (2) = 32 mean?
it means when we convert 32 to hexadecimal its 2
No, it's not
Yes
OH
so do i add these after converting?
As mentioned, multiplication in base 16 is the same concept and process and multiplication in base 10, except you convert base 16 to base 10 first to make it easier
sooo
should be correct now yes?
Nope
how come 
When you do regular base 10 multiplication, can you have 32 in the ones place?
Because it's wrong
.
i am confused-?
When you do regular base 10 multiplication, for instance, 24 * 8, you do 4 * 8 first, making that 32, can you place value of 32 in the ones place?
so the first digit
wait
am i suppose to keep the thing in ones place and carry
and add it to the other place while multiplying
?
Yes, that's how multiplication works
AH
It seems like you need a review on multiplication
0 in what base?
Like are you using 32 in base 10 or 20 in base 16? You just saying 0 means nothing because there's not enough context
That is the first step, continue and finish the problem
As asked before, do you know how to do regular multiplication?
AH
sorry i forgot again
its another 0
cuz the 1 in 10 gets carried over
am i correct?
q-q im really sorry im bad at thiss
alright
can we change the question to
this?
🤯 i dont like mathsss

Need help:
my thought process:
ive tried differentiating x = cos (xy)
=> 1 = -sin(xy) * d(xy)/dx
solving this led me to dy/dx = (-y-1)/x
i hope the question is clear enough to be read. my bad if it isnt
Show more of your work, your first line is correct
one sec
1 = -sin(xy) * [y+x dy/dx]
1 = (-sin(xy) * (y) - x dy/dx * sin(xy)
x dy/dx * sin(xy) = -sin(xy) (y) - 1
dy/dx = [-sin(xy) (y) -1] / (x * sin(xy)
now what do i do
"solving this led me to dy/dx = (-y-1)/x" i found the mistake here, but i still cant get the 'prove that' answer
So something useful here will be that $\sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta) =1$
ΣAC
um.. im dumb. i cant seem to find where
You've got sin(xy) floating around
If we could write that in terms of cos(xy) that'd be great because cos(xy)=x
Yes
It seems like we're also going to be off by a negative and I can't see why right now
im slightly bad at english. off by a negative? you mean were a bit off the final answer expected only due to a negative sign
am i right?
Yeah, right now our answer is going to be the negative of the one given i think
Look at the question
OH
so right now, my final step is :
[-(root(1-x^2) - 1] / (x (root(1-x^2)))
so i think im off by a "Y' and minus
so maybe, can the question be a bit wrong?
i assume the book is old (about 7 to 8 years atleast). of which the image is taken from
oh
I think the question is incorrect yes, I just did the question myself
ah yes
i missed it in this step
thank you for your help, a lot.
this was my first time actually asking help and it was fun
im worried a lot of questins might be wrong in similar pattern,
cus this was the first question:
and i had banged my head for the first equation
thank you again
