oh yeah that works too, but you have to worry about multiple decreases
you would encode those as a run length of 0
what does the tuple represent
basically you encode the value of the function at each point with a number of 1s and use 0s to separate the points if they're different
or something like that
honestly don't even remember anymore LOL
look at the functions of {0,1} -> N that we wrote out
100000000000
110000000000
111000000000
111100000000
111110000000
111111000000
... (infinitely many)
111111111111... (forever)
mhmm
these each map to a natural number describing how many 1s are at the front
then you just write (2, 1) (0, infinity) or whatever
no it would be (1, 0, infty) because there's one 2, zero 1s, and infinity 0s
(your way would work as well but this is what snow was describing)
so 10000000000 would be (1, infinity)? and it maps to the natural number 1
but what would this map to
eh, don't worry about mapping it to natural numbers
lean heavily on the fact that |N x N| = |N|
so is it basically a set of finite length strings which is countable?
as long as those strings have finite length and each slot has countably many symbols to choose from, yeah that's countble
hmmm but they aren’t finite tho right since it can go on forever
can they?
isn’t there an infinite number of natural numbers for the input
well at some point it’ll repeat tho
but if we just take the non repeating portion yeah ig it’s finite
remember what these strings are, each element describes how many of a certain number we get in a row
so we reduce 553333333333332222111111111111111... down to (2, 0, 8, 4, infty, 0)
how do we know that there’s 0 0s
we could kinda put whatever we wanted there
but the function i described repeats 1s infinitely

why is the graph of {e^x} like this? {.} represents fractional part function.
fellow jee 2025 aspirant 🤝
the function increases in intervals until every time it hits a new whole number
the intervals decrease in size as x gets larger
because e^x grows faster
and hence it hits a new whole number more often
e^1 = 2.718...
those are just pieces of the thing shifted downward
you could shift them up and reassemble the curve
somewhere in between 1 and 2, e^x becomes equal to 3.0..... , and at this point the fractional part is 0 and a new interval begins
ad x becomes larger than say 1, or 2, this happens more often
and the intervals become smaller and smaller
,w e^100
,w e^101
in between one x-value here, between 100 and 101, see how the fractional part must've hit 0 a lot of times
oh
i didn't understand what you said
imagine you cut up the curve of e^x at each x value where e^x is an integer
and then you let all the pieces fall to the x-axis
that is what you get
but why did this happen?
that's basically what taking the fractional part is doing
You should read my responses for some reasoning behind why this happens
ok
got it thanks

i have a question regarding modulo
What would be the value of |{[x-a)^2+(y-0)^2 ]-[(x+a)^2+(y-0)^2]|
its okay if its in equation im just confused about
the signs
like how exactly will the signs be affected
And can you transpose modulo
What do you mean modulo @rigid epoch
See
(x-a)^2 = x-a
(y-0)^2 = y-O
(y-0)^2 = x+a
(y-0)^2 = y^2
|[(x-a)^2 + y^2] - [(x+a)^2 + y^2]|
can be re-written as
|[(x^2 - 2ax + a^2) + y^2] - [(x^2 + 2ax + a^2) + y^2]|
The signs will change because we r distributing negative sign outside the brackers.
so, now it is,
| (x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2) - (x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + y^2) |
After all they cancel out, we are left with
| - 4ax |
|-4ax| = 4|a||x|
vertical bars or absolute value notation
are (| |)
Eg - f x - 5 is positive, then |x - 5| = (x - 5).
If x - 5 is negative, then |x - 5| = -(x - 5) = -x + 5.
In both cases, the result is a non-negative value.
In both cases, the result is a non-negative value..
Any other question?
Is your question solved?
im still a little confused
Ok can you explain in what part?
Ok.
Consider both the positive and negative cases.
Positive Case:
We set the expression inside the absolute value bars equal to the positive value on the other side:
Negative Case:
We set the expression inside the absolute value bars equal to the negative value of the other side:
Positive case : 5x - 2y - 19 = 18
so it would be +/- 18?
oke
Positive Case:
We set the expression inside the absolute value bars equal to the positive value on the other side:
5x - 2y - 19 = 18
Negative Case:
We set the negation of the expression inside the absolute value bars equal to the positive value on the other side:
-(5x - 2y - 19) = 18
Expanding the negation:
-5x + 2y + 19 = 18
Now we solve this equation for x and y.
So, in total, we have two equations to solve:
Equation 1: 5x - 2y - 19 = 18
Equation 2: -5x + 2y + 19 = 18
Equation 1:
5x - 2y - 19 = 18
We can simplify it:
5x - 2y = 18 + 19
5x - 2y = 37
Equation 2:
-5x + 2y + 19 = 18
Simplifying it:
-5x + 2y = 18 - 19
-5x + 2y = -1
So, we have the system of equations:
5x - 2y = 37
-5x + 2y = -1
Stil confused?
Ping me if confused
oh ok i think i got it
so basically
|5x-2y-19|=18 can be two equations
one being 5x-2y-19=18
other being 5x-2y-19=-18
and then we can simplify

We want to select an ordered pair (A,B) of proper subsets of [n] so that A ∩ B /= ∅, where [n] = {1, 2, 3, 4, ... , n}. In how many different ways can we do this?
for each size A could be, count how many valid B's you could choose
so i mean...
if |A| is 0 how many B's could pair with it?
if |A| is 1 how many B's could pair with it?
if |A| is 2 how many B's could pair with it?
and so on
if you can do that and know, for each [k] in [n] union {0}, how many subsets of [n] of size k there are then you should be good to go
@west pendant Has your question been resolved?
@wary tulip I know there are 2^n subsets for A and 2^n subsets for B. So, you can make a total of 4^n total pairs correct?
Then, you consider how many pairs are there such that A ∩ B = empty set.
And, I guess you subtract that from 4^n?
yes you can do that
How would I figure out how many pairs there are such that A ∩ B = empty set though?
Not really sure.

✅
the sets that don't intersect A are the ones that have only the 5 elements in [8] that aren't in A
Agreed. But, still not sure how I'm able to figure out the possibilities for B.
@west pendant Has your question been resolved?
@wary tulip You still there? I was thinking that there would be 3^n choices since each element could either belong in A, B, or neither since we want the condition such that A intersect B is empty.
Then, the answer would be 4^n - 3^n right?
@west pendant Has your question been resolved?
Yeah that works

can someone check if I got this right?
the questions asked me to find y^2=f(x) of the function
theres no function, onnly the graph was given, the pencil is mine
I must say, great graph!
You captured all of the essence of what a graph of y²=f(x) would look like
really?
Do you need to justify anything here?
don't root graphs need to have an asymptote when there is an x-intercept?
because I was thinking of adding one
asymptote? At x=-1?
vertical asymptote
But why?
oh not asymptote my mistake
my book says a graph with an x intercept make a vertical tangent
hold on let me take a picture real quick
of a different question
That may be the case if you were graphing y = 1/f(x) or something
If you look in this example, I had to put vertical tangents so the graph to the left from zero would be like a semi circle
Hmm, ig you would need chain rule to really pin down if it would have undefined slope there
Take something like f(x) = |x|^3. Then the graph of y = √(f(x)) has no asymptote at 0
Even though y = f(x) has x-intercept at x=0
But if you take say f(x) = |x|^(1.5) it again looks like the same sort of curve but now graph of y = √(f(x)) involves undefined slope at x=0
So ig in your original question, it's not really possible to tell which of the above two behaviours your function falls in (around x = -1) unless you have the actual equation
i see...
let me input this in desmos real quick so I can understand what is happening
That's a good idea
You need √(f(x))
oh my mistake
ok I get this
I know how to graph something like this but what equation would produce that original question I was asking
Problem with that is it could be anything even a piecewise defined function
indeed...
Unlike the clearly cubic looking second question
but what function makes a reatively simple cubic
turn into this
because my logic tells me
No cubic written in terms of x has horizontal asymptotes
But if the curve near x=-1 behaves like |x+1|^3 then you wouldn't have a vertical tangent
can you explain that?
,w graph y = |x+1|^3
If your function was piecewise defined then maybe near x=-1 it has this behaviour
But,
,w plot y^2 = |x+1|^3
But now look what it becomes
oh I see what your getting at
what in the world
is it because its not actually intercepting the x-axis?
more so its just 'grazing' the x-axis
It's partially because at the intercept on x-axis the function has derivative 0
For the second problem, your graph intersects x-axis at a non-zero slope
non-zero slope is referring to gradient yes?
Yeah you could say that
alr
Try to look at how chain rule works out
wait a second
I just found this image
it doesn't have a vertical tangent because assuming R is on the x-axis
it would just become horiztonal and therefore there would be no vertical in the first place
Are you referring to tangent to this graph itself or square root of this graph?
tangent to the graph itself
ok
Would you say y=x^3 grazes the x-axis at origin?
no
ok good point

I think I'm not 100% fully understanding this, I think I will just ask my teacher tomorrow
thank you for the help Euclid though for answering the original question I had
sorry I had you go on a wild goose chase
Also, I am not saying that the square root graph cannot have vertical tangent there just that we can't say for sure it does
Did kinda enjoy it though
no I get that, its just this is being taught differently to what you know, I feel like
thanks for the help though

I really appriciate it

Hello @everyone How can u be sure that the speed of light is constant
I mean if the time changes will it be constant then
Bro really tried to ping everyone lol
lmao
even when time slow down
?
ah u didnt said everywhen
everywhen?
there are experiments that show light speed is indeed constant no matter how quickly your frame of reference is moving
so it is variable compare to time

Once again - L hospital not allowed
and even if it was allowed i don't think i would differentiate such a thing
What if you ask wolfram to do it?
How do i do that?
Maybe try plugging it into wolfram alpha and see if it can give you an answer
The thing is idk how to do that........😶
Like how do i put limits on it from mobile
Latex?
limit value is wrong
seems alright to taylor
Wdym ?
taylor expand u^u and ln(u)
I know expansion of ln(1+u) only
And u^u
Do is just expand ln(1+(u-1))
?
so just this with no extra calculations

can someone explain what's happening here
haven't seen this in professor leonards videos yet
i dont even know what those numbers are
I've only solved with just the integral sign
.
do you know what an integral can represent
right?
yes
but forget antiderivative now
draw it
draw some random positive function
whatever u want
mark x = 4, 3
and let a be some other x value
that's less than 3
and then I want you to see what areas the integrals represent
you could also go this route by turning all the integrals into this form and getting rid of the F(a) terms
So the answer is positive 2?
cause it's just F(3) - F(4) and those values are given as 6 - 2
3 is on top

i dont think so lol
can u help
y = g'(x), so g(x) = integral of y = area under y + C
but i dont have a function
you can find the area under y from the picture
and you can find the C from g(0) = 8
at 15 wouldn't the area be 0
also how is g(0) = 8
is that supposed to g'(0)?
well you have a positive contribution from 20 and 4, and a negative contribution from 10, so the total area
yea, u would add the area from 0 to 15 (14) plus the value of the function at 0 (8)

okay brb I'll try
what should the answer be?
should it be 3 ⋅ (1-5x^3)^3 ⋅ (-15x^2) or (-45x^2) ⋅ (1-5x^3)^3
or are they both the same thing
both are the same thing
depends on your professor but both are acceptable

wait what
are you familiar with:
constant multiple rule
product rule
chain rule
ok so, separate the -45 from the rest of the expression
you’re left with x^2(1-5x)^2
it’s the same as any other derivative
you’ll use the same exact rules
the second derivative just means that you’re taking the derivative of the derivative
you can use product rule and chain rule to solve this
don’t forget about your constant at the end: -45
you’re working with this $-45 (x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2})$
what
__saad
hold on let me try and process that
yes
wait just to make things clear
are we working with 3(1-5x^2) ⋅ (-15x^3)^3 or (-45x^2) ⋅ (1-5x^3)^3
wait ignore that
I typed it wrong
$-45x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2}$
__saad
this
oh ok
now, can you calculate the derivative of this?
yes but you took the derivative
now you’re taking the second derivative
the derivative of the derivative
let’s work through it step by step
first step
separate the constant
$-45 (x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2})$
__saad
do you mind if we start over from the origin of the question
sure
let’s start with this
$(1-5x^{3})^{3}$
__saad
what is the first step for chain rule
yes, that is correct
well you can simplify your current answer by multiplying 3 with -15x^2
to get to this $-45x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2}$
__saad
next step to make your life easier: separate the constant, this is known as the constant multiple rule.
An example of this rule would be: $\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2) = 2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}(x^2)$
ok and
__saad
OH THE CONSTANT MULTIPLE RULE
-45, correct
now you’re left with: $-45 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} [(x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2})]$
__saad
which rule can you use here?
yes but you’re multiplying the whole expression by -45, that means both (1-5x^3)^2 and (x^2)
like in this
figuring out this
product rule?
note that (1-5x^3)^2 is being multiplied by (x^2)
yes
correct
do you know how to use the product rule
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
I'm turning my initial answer into this
oh
yeah that's still where I am now
this*
ok so
you’re calculating the derivative of this using the product rule: now you’re left with: $(x^{2} \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2})$
__saad
the first step: identify your functions, f and g
in this case
f(x) = x^2
g(x) = (1-5x^3)^2
ok
how do I do it for this though
I'm not familiar with the ^2 at the end
ok so, you’re using chain rule again
yes, that shouldn’t be a problem once you get to that part
just like you did in the first part
apply this rule and then try simplifying it
idk how to get started
you have this $(x^{2} \cdot (2(1-5x^{3}) \cdot (-15x^{2}))) + (2x \cdot (1-5x^{3})^{2})$
__saad
now, are you familiar with the laws of indices?
no
oh yes
how did my equation turn into this
same thing but in this format
is it possible if you show the working from start to finish so I get a general idea of how the question is solved
sure
fine if it’s like this?
I mean like until the point where it turns into this
sure wait
okay ty
@urban tusk Has your question been resolved?
starting with the first half: $-15x^{4} \cdot (-2 + 10x^3)$
$\ - 30x^{4} + 150x^{7}$
alright I'll try to understand it and if I have any question I'll ask ty
second half:
$50x^{7} - 20x^{4} +2x$
__saad
final step:
$-45 ((-30x^{4} + 150x^{7}) + (50x^{7} - 20x^{4} +2x))$
$\ 1350x^{4} - 6750x^{7} -90x + 900x^{4} - 2250x^{7}$

@urban tusk Has your question been resolved?
can I use quotient rule for this question?
so this is what happened
initially I forgot that quotient rule was a thing
so I just elimated to denominator and differenciated it the normal way
and that worked and I got the correct answer
BUT
for some reason when I tried using the quotient rule with it, the answer is always wong
wrong*
I'll send a pic maybe you guys can identify what's wrong
oh nevermind there wasn't a problem
I just did mistakes
I guess my question now is
can both x^2 - 1/x^2 and 1-x^-2 be accepted as final answers
Yeah
better to provide the first one as your answer

Did I do the graph right? And how do answer the questions below
<@&286206848099549185>
Yeah
So i think the graph is wrong
At midnight and 0 am it should have 12
But yours have 2
I'm not sure how to graph it
I was trying to do it based on this example
Yeah
At 12am since its cycle is 12 it should be 12 as well
I'm confused on why they started the graph at 8 in the example
8 is the level of the ocean
When high tide its gets bigger by 4 m
At low tide the level gets smaller
Where does it tell you that
It donsent say particularly but thats what it means
So in the example graph they use the 8 scale for mine what scale would I use
"No idea"
?
Oh ok
I see that they started at 0 then 4 would I start at 3

Another exercise 5.5.5 asks me to show an analogue of this proposition but replace rational with irrational. This is my proof sketch:
Note: We have already proven that sqrt(2)>0 is an irrational number and it is easy show that (q)/(sqrt(2)) is also irrational for any rational q.
-
Since y>x, and sqrt(2)>0, we have that ysqrt(2)>xsqrt(2)
-
Thus by proposition 5.4.14, we have that ysqrt(2)>q>xsqrt(2) for some rational q.
-
Finally we can just divide across by sqrt(2) to get y>q/sqrt(2)>x and let q'=q/sqrt(x) and we are done.
I'm wondering if there's another way to do without using sqrt(2)?
Something like creating a Cauchy sequence whose limit lies between x and y or something about the supremum of a set?
Was thinking about it but I don't think it's possible to show that a Cauchy sequence will have irrational limit without first knowing that the limit is irrational, similar for a supremum of a set.
and it is easy show that (q)/(sqrt(2)) is also irrational for any rational q.
parentheses unnecessary;q/sqrt(2)is just fine
I'm wondering if there's another way to do without using sqrt(2)?
you can use sqrt(3) instead
I see

i am having a hard time with this problem
pain. you should simplify the numerator before taking the derivative
no chain rule for h(x)?
,w expand (3x^2 + 5x + 9)(8x^4 + 9x^2)
put that as your numerator and you won't need to worry about chain rule, just quotient rule for a rational function
i see thanks! is it the same for this one as well? just expand it?
yes
okay cool let me try these 2 and ill come back to a channel if i still cant get it. thanks for your help!

How to solve 1.a and b
do you know what a sinusoidal function looks like
@inner crater Has your question been resolved?
Yeah
I don't understand what the questions asking me
Is it saying are these sinusoidal functions?
it’s asking which situation can be modeled by a sinusoidal function
so which of those graphs could be the graph of a sinusoid
@inner crater
To me they both look like they could be sinusoidal graphs
They both have a cycle
@gusty bane
that’s not the only condition to be a sinusoid
i think you can tell one looks like your typical sinusoid
and the other is not
Yeah 1.a

Hello. Can someone please verify that my answer is correct?
show work
If you submit, the machine will verify it wont it
150g will be 75g in 27days. So 150g will be 100 in 18 days. Every 9 days it decreases by 25g. Is this right ?
What’s the formula for half life?
refer to your notes, textbook, etc
you shouldnt be asked this question without having been taught it
Ok I figured it out. It’s 16 days to reach 100g
A=150(1/2)^15/27
Thanks for checking

why doesn't this approximate the value of the integral of sin(x) Interval = [0,pi]? On my calculator it just says "0.383288", while the actual value of the integral is 2. I don't know what I did wrong with the Riemann sums
i subdivided the area into 100 rectangles, and since the length is all equal it is pi/100
i wanted it to slowly reach to pi
if you know what i mean
I actually have no idea what i did wrong
Your notation of the sums seems wrong
hold on lemme screenshot of my calculator
this is the actual calculation
what is the actual function
pi(100-x)/100?
what part exactly?
it should be $\displaystyle \sum{i=0}^{n}sin(\frac{ix}{n})(\frac{x}{n})$
what does n represent?
wait there error in latex
$f(x) = x
Bring Back Beatrix
type with $ latex code here $
$
yours sums should like this $sin(\frac{ix}{n})\frac{x}{n}$
Bring Back Beatrix
from $i=0$ to $n$
Bring Back Beatrix
if you want 100 samples then it will be $sin(\frac{ix}{100})(\frac{x}{100})$
Bring Back Beatrix
ah yes I see, thank you very much
any idea why my sum didn't work?
shouldn't it be rougly the same?
yes
your sum seems to work just fine in the calc
if you are summing from $0$ to $\pi$ then it will be $sin(\frac{i\pi}{100})(\frac{\pi}{100})$
Bring Back Beatrix
$f(x) = x$
encouraged
thats right

Why not rational
It's talking about the roots
Use the quadratic formula, you will find out why they are irrational
If b^2 - 4ac equals a square number, then it's rational
If it's not a square number then the roots are irrational
Because b^2 - 4ac is under the radical in the quadratic formula
So if you take the square root of not a square number, it's a irrational number
@undone flicker Has your question been resolved?
@undone flicker Has your question been resolved?
@empty sail @silk pewter
<@&286206848099549185>
Find the roots using the quadratic equation and you'll find x= √7 ± 3
b²-4ac only indicates if the roots are real or not
I see yes you are right but there are many sites which claims it gives about rational irrational too
which is wrong
I got the values here you can see by the formula
The conditions of irrationality and rationality only holds true when a, b, and c are rational
Why? x= {-b+√(b²-4ac)}/2a
As you can see, when a, b, and c are rational, the only factor that makes x irrational is the √(b²-4ac) part
$b^2-4ac$ only tells us about roots will be real, same or different right?
But here, b is irrational
arjunn5589
It can conditionally tell if the roots are irrational at certain circumstances as explained here
no
the part b
This is why I assumed when a, b, and c are rational
I'm explaining why they explained that b²-4ac can explain rationality although they're wrong
no?
They're right with a condition
Say if it's like 5x²+2x-4
Then b²-4ac can check rationality as well
Due to this formula
here b^2-4ac is not rational
-b/2a is rational because we assumed the case where a and b are rational. In this case, if √(b²-4ac) is rational, so is x
if √(b²-4ac) is irrational, so is x
However as you can see if there's no word on a, b, c to be rational, this no longer works
Because even if √(b²-4ac)/2a is rational, -b/2a can be irrational
here a,b,c are rational
but still roots are irrational
√(b²-4ac)/2a is irrational here in this example
-b/2a is rational
Yes
Which is why I said IN THIS CASE we can determine the rationality with √(b²-4ac)
But NOT in this case
ohh
The situation is DIFFERENT
I understand your statements now
I think it is good to check properly with the formula would be better
or just focus on a,b,c
thanks again for enriching my knowledge deeply
Just focus on the basics
Use formulas when you understand the basics and want to make it short

could anyone explain this question?
How familiar are you with, say the period of tan(x)
i feel like i forgot most of it
That's not very good.
Do you know anything like what tan(2pi-x) , tan(pi-x) or tan(pi+x) would be?
um....
maybe think about what sectors of the unit circle tan(x) is positive
is tan(x) an even or odd function?
like quad 3 n 1 smt like this?
yeah
odd
no yes
ok thx
I checked answer. so if tanx = 1.5, why x= pi+0.98
wow nice drawing
brandon_hu
if the red angle on the graph was 30o
you would have to go around the circle $$\pi$$ times before the slope is the same
brandon_hu
ok
if you draw a line through the unit circle like in the picture you can easily see why

Hey how would i solve for side x?
mistake nvm
your good
sin50 = x/12
yea
okay hold on
im holding'
sin(50 degrees)(12)=x
so that side length is
approx 9.2
correct?
if tahts what the calc says
matlab agrees
>> sin(50*pi/180)*12
ans =

get some help omfg
Ok so
In the second to last line
It says since l_t(i) > 1/n
For i not in S_t
But it never explains why that is true
Like at the top it says for i in S_t i is less than 1/n (which i don’t see them using)
definition of S_t
But how does that imply this
Where
in the lemma
I’m talking about i not in s_t
No bruh
