woah woah slow down
So, "after 7 years" -> meaning evaluating at t=7 (so P(7))
"The price has doubled" -> P(7) = Twice the original price
What is "twice the original price"?
Oh ok makes sense
Now we're left to find k...
yes it's ln(2)/7
Thank you
So P(t) = 5e^(ln(2)t/7)
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
For the second one do I just plug in 4 for t?
Yes sorry for late response

im trying to find a closed form of $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{f(n)}{p^n},$$ where $0<|p|<1$ and $f(n)$ is some polynomial, but im getting nasty stuff involving finite differences... does anyone have an insight on what i could use to evaluate this summation?
lpieleanu
do we know anything about f?
no
i will try to bruteforce it and maybe see something, let's see
lpieleanu
then, i let $$S_i = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{\Delta_if}{p^n},$$ where $$i \in {0,1,2,\ldots,\deg f}.$$ (we wish to find $S_0$)
lpieleanu
my only progress with this is that $$S_i(p-1)=p\Delta_if+S_{i+1} \forall i \in {0,1,2,\ldots \deg f - 1}.$$
lpieleanu
oh wait we also have $$S_{\deg f} = \frac{2ap}{p-1},$$ where $a$ is the leading coefficient of $f(n)$

Doing part b and I need help pls
I just don't really know what to do
I guess u multiply 4 by ln2/7?
But idrk how
$4\frac{\ln2}{7}=\frac{4\ln2}{7}=\frac{\ln2^4}{7}=\frac{1}{7}(\ln2^4)$
MrFancy
do you think you can figure it out from there? :)
@neon iron Has your question been resolved?
Uh
Kind of
What do I do next

well evaluate and interpret,
but i'd start by simplfying more and putting it into a calculator cause you're not going to get a nice number
Oh ok so basically just use a calculator got it
Ok cuz I wasn't sure if my professor would let me use a calculat0r

Hello, need some help with a some number theory and programming stuff. I am trying to solve this problem: https://projecteuler.net/problem=495
I have worked out so far that I can compute all the prime factors of N (adding 1 to the list), and then multiply them by each other to get K numbers out. So, in the example gives, 144 would have the factors of [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3] and then we can multiply the numbers together to get one of the answers, eg 2*2*2 to get 8, and 3*3 to get 9, giving the list [1, 2,8,9] which is one of the answers. Is there an algorithm that can generate all of the lists? (either distinct or not, it doesn't matter)
A website dedicated to the fascinating world of mathematics and programming
say N have m factors excluding 1 then we choose m-k numbers and multiply them
Hm, I shall try it, but wouldn't that be too big? In the case of 100!, M = 239 and K = 10, then 239C10 is huge, one way is figure out how to deal with duplicates, since they are frequent, but I am not sure how to deal with them
wait lemme copy the question here
One possible method would probably be to compute a list L that contains the unique factors, and another of the number of duplicates of each factors, and then compute the products somehow
let W(n,k) be the number of ways in which n can be written as the product of k distinct positive integers. (permutations of the integers are not considered distsinct.) Given W(100!,10) mod 1000000007 = 287549200, find W(10000!,30) mod 1000000007
computing W(10000!,30) seems impossible
Hm possibly, but It has been solved before. I would be happy if I can do W(100!, 10), and let the code run for W(10000!, 30) or just thread it if possible.
For 100! there are only 25 unique factors (out of 239), and 1229 (out of 31985) for 10000!
Hm, if we only had 2 2s for example, we can either:
- Use 2 {And get 4} - This is most boring, but there isn't any other way to get 4, so the output from here is unique (Actually, you can derive this case from 2)
- Use 1 {And get 2} - But then, if you have Q solutions if you ignore the duplicate 2, do you have 2*Q - ??? {Some number} when you include the duplicate?
- Use Neither {And get None} - Now we have 2 2s, but we need to multiply them into the list, we can multiply any of the numbers by either 2 or 4, but what can we do with this?
I guess if you have some number of duplicates (D) of a factor (F), then you can use any power of F up to D, and then somehow distribute the rest into the list. There is then D - n duplicates to spread around
I will close this for now, but if someone is interested in helping please DM me!

please help with this question
so initialy i tried doing log(a^log 7 to the base 3 ) +........+......
so that i would get loga(log 7 to the base 3 ) +.........................+................
can i use the identity
but i cant
<@&286206848099549185>
$(a^{\log_37})^{\log_37}=27^{\log_37}=(3^3)^{\log_37}=3^{\log_37^3}=7^3=343$
TimK
$a^{log_ab}=b$
TimK
but c is 19 though
4 + 6 + 9 = 19
how ?
wdym?
how did this
become this?

what is the difference between
f = g
and
f(x) = g(x)
I mean not necessarily. If f and g are functions it could just be a shorthand notation
f(x) = g(x), are functions
no, not like variables. f and g are functions
In crude language
Yeah unless specified, i should add
Then both of them mean the same, as mellowdramallama states
in the 2.
it's asked if f = g. My doubt is does it ask if the domain is the same, or if the function when simplified is sthe same
because f(x) = g(x) when it is simplified.
But the domain is not the same
In some other exercices. it's asked if f(x) = g(x), so I am a bit confused

In the right triangle ABC (with right angle at A), the inscribed circle touches the side AB at P and AC at Q. IF AP/PB = 1/2. How much is AQ/QC worth?
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
we have this so far right
I'm being lazy and saying AP=1
but recall that the triangle is a right triangle
So consider ||pythagorean theorem||
Ok I will try
Let's see, what I can take from here is that with these arbitrary measurements, QP = sqrt(2)
And lets call G the other point where the circle touches the triangle, I think that GP is 2, but I dont know how to prove it
You can use that QC=GC too and apply pythagoras to ABC
But ok, How do you know QC = GC
cuz they're both tangents same reason why AQ=AP
Yes but one is inclined it doesnt matter?
can you show how you got there?
Yes first I expanded all
So, sqrt(9A^2P^2 + A^2P^2 + 2CAPQ + Q^2C^2) = QC + AP
So I did this, 9A^2P^2 + A^2P^2 + 2CAPQ + Q^2C^2 =(QC + AP)^2
Which is, 9A^2P^2 + A^2P^2 + 2CAPQ + Q^2C^2 = Q^2C^2 + 2CAPQ + A^2P^2
10A^2P^2 + 2CAPQ + Q^2C^2-Q^2C^2-2CAPQ-A^2P^2 = 0
Which gives, 9A^2P^2 = 0
But this is wrong of course
You're dealing with AP as two variables a and p
It's just one variable AP you can let it be x if it confuses you while expanding
Same with QC
Yes right
3x = y
yea
Yes right

is it possible to factor 2x^3-5?
because i'm trying to get the y-intercept of x^2-x-2 / 2x^3-5
@fresh lava Has your question been resolved?
yes because it necessarily have a root (at least)
and at least one of them is easy to find
2x^3 - 5 = 0
x^3 = 5/2
one root is cubic root of 5/2
so it can be factored by x-cubic root of 5/2
(the other roots are complex)
but I don't see why you want to factor

I am confused and I hate it
Set the bottom to zero right
Finding domain
Then I square
Is that ok
Now I get 16 …
What happens with that minus
Because
You could think of it as -1\sqrt right
That - is part of the square root ?
Or is it just a minus ??
No
What if you don’t move the square root over to the right
Thats what am doing
U just root without moving it
Negative will stay in one of the terms yes, you just expand normally like you'd do with (x-y)^2
Oh no you can't do that it should be x^2-2xy+y^2 if you're expanding (x-y)^2
Isnt it u and not x y
The -sqrt(u+7) is a term and the 4 is the other term so like the 4 is the x and the sqrt(u+7) is the y
This don’t make sense
So 4^2-2x4sqrt(u+7)+(sqrt(u+7))^2
No you can't just square each term individually
If u root sqrt(u+7) doesnt that take out the aqrt
Yes but if the whole thing is under the sqrt
The 4 isn't so it won't work
That's why you should just subtract 4 from both sides before squaring
Fucking maths
So when you square the sqrt(u+7) the root just cancels
So your saying rooting goes over everything
(4 -sqrt..)^2
So its better and easier I just move the 4 instead of having to foil
Exactly
Before doing the ^2 tho
So 4-sqrt(u+7)=0
Move the 4
Then square both sides
you could just divide by -1 so the negative cancels and it cancels when you square them anyways so it doesn't matter
Not really
It'll be u+7=16 after squaring right?
How does it cancel when you square them
Is it basically two terms is that what you mean?
Or no not really
(-anything)^2 the negative cancels you're multiplying two negative numbers so the result is positive
16u
So both terms get squared separately?
Yes
The -4 and the sqr
So 4u squared is 16u^2
Yes right
Bc u square both factors
Yea
Is there a rule that allows us to think like that?
If they're multiplied you square everything if they're added or subtracted you can't
Ok ty, I hope I don’t have any more holes in my knowledge 
Oh no problem dw

How do u take the derivative of -3 root(3t)
$-3root3t$
Drey 🔍
Oop
$-3\sqrt{3t}$
Austin
Yeh
The derivative with respect to t?
Yes
well recall the rule about constant multiplication
the -3 is a constant being multiplied so we can just ignore it and leave it out front, right?
Yes
$\sqrt{3t}=(3t)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Austin
now looking at this, you might be able to see the power rule should be applied here.
and don't forget to apply the chain rule
$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (3t)^{\frac{-1}{2}} \cdot (3t)'=?$
Austin
the inner function is (3t)
Oh
as demonstrated above
How do u take the derivative of root-1/2
you don't have to, but it would just be the power rule again. You already took the derivative of the square root when you used the power rule. Now applying the chain rule all that is left is th derivative of the inner function, which is just 3t
$$-3\sqrt{3t}=-3(3t)^{\frac{1}{2}}$$
Let the outer function be $f(t)=\sqrt{t}$ and the inner function be $g(t)=3t$, then,
$$-3(3t)^{\frac{1}{2}}=-3f(g(t))$$
Now what does the chain rule tell you the derivative of $-3f(g(t))$ is? Well it is $-3f'(g(t))\cdot g'(t)$. So what is $f'(t)$ if $f(t)=\sqrt(t)$? And what is $g'(t)$ if $g(t)=3t$? Combine those to find your answer in the form given above.
Austin
@neon iron
I mean one is literally inside of the other one
so
True
but if you want a better explanation it is by order of operations. You do exponents first, so square root is the outer (first) function, and multiplication, the inside, comes next
your f'(g(t)) is not quite correct
f’ of root t would be like 1
no
f'(t) is the derivative of sqrt(t)
which is 1/2 (t)^(-1/2)
then you evaluate this at g(t)
because we wanted f'(g(t))
so since g(t)=3t
you get
So root 2/t
no
Wait
I forgot root
So 3 root 2/root t
I probably messed up on the negative exponent cuz I just did reciprocal
Sorry did I make u rage quit
My bad

How to find the Y intercept?
You need help?
I found X idk how to find Y
Yes
the y-intercept happens when x=0
Actually? I think my handwriting is so bad
Ye its better than mine
So how do you solve this I'm still confused
@fossil minnow
I think a few people got fooled. It's u²/5.
Take your original function. Let x = 0.
Yeah I put 0 where there is X's
oh ok i'll try that

I need some help with integrating fractions
I know how to integrate just not fractions
Can someone walk me through this
Split it
what do you mean
x^2+25 is in both the numerator and denominator so you can subtract powers
ah ok
so then it would become
2x/sqrt(x^2+25)
?\
so like
i integrate numerator sperately
and then denominator
separately
What?
?
Yes right
What? Thats wrong isn’t it
yea
Oh I thought there was a minus 💀
u-sub
u = x² + 25
yes but it is just the fractions that confuse me, i took a year break in between math classes so i frogot some things
iirc
integrating fractions
was not as simple as splitting them like u can with derivatives
You can use the power rule here write it as 2x(x^2+25)^-1/2 it's multiplied by its derivative so you can use the power rule
Oh ok
I guess it makes sense yeah
What do i do with 2x tho
Again my confusion comes from not that I dont know integration but when it comes to fractions specifically
I just remember vaguely you cant split it first (then quotient rule) like u can with derivatives
So when we are doing this
I thought this was not allowed
∫(f(x))^n . f'(x) dx = (f(x))^n+1 / n+1
The integral is in that form already so you can use that rule
what if it is not in that form?
you try to put it in that form like we did with that question
ok and for this i am not sure i fully understand this form lol
if there is some function being multiplied by another function that is raised to some power n
then what?
its weird to understand for me from stuff like this lol
A function raised to the power n multiplied by the derivative of that function its integral is equal to that function raised to the power n+1 divided by that new power (n+1)
oh ok
so then knowing this now
then -2(x^2+25)^-1/2
is the integral of the entire function
so for future reference then
the correct approach is to try and get it in this form
yes right
wait wait
ohhhhhh
you rewrote
i see what u did
u rewrote it as -1/2 to get it to that form and ok
so then you get
2x(x^2+25)^-1/2
and then u integrate that?
Yes right
The owner is missing!
i see
ok i got answer right
but are u positive that i can always get it in this form
im just afraid that there might be some fraction i have to integrate that is not able to be written in that form
yk
Not always some other problems may need to be done by parts or ln

is this question mis-worded?
why would it be?
im having trouble thinking of a function that satisfies every single condition at the same time tho.
Are you asked for a function for each case, or one function for all at the same time?
what does "parent" function mean in this context
the simplest function of a type, i assume
for example, y=x would be the parent linear function, y=x^2 the parent quadratic, and so on
(c) and (d) do seem to contradict each other
nah, xsin(x) satisfies both b and c
c and d, not b and c
how can a function be even yet have different behavior as x->+infinity vs -infinity
that doesn't satisfy d
oh, cd

so I am working on alot of problems and I thought i understood cdf and pdf until I realized there was this expression P (X < or >= x) to define my F(X).... I know this means I dont have a clear understanding of cdfs and pdfs but idk why im misunderstood, here is the problem that threw me off:
actually really confused by this, I thought when we are calculating the F(X) (cdf) we are looking at the sum of the areas under the pdf, so why cant I just calculate the CDF and use the values of x where F(X) = 1/2 and F(X) = 3/4 and subtract each from 1 to get the values??

Just trying to figure out what to do from here
Always forget whenever theres a value before x^2
@carmine lagoon Has your question been resolved?
after factoring, just divide by the coeff of x^2
like x+3/2 and x-8/2
like that
if you want i can send you after doing it in paper
Im just confused on formatting that
If you have a procedure that works when the leading coefficient is 1, you can rewrite 2x²-5x-12 as 2(x²-2.5x+6) and factor inside the brackets.
I saw the answer i just dont know how to get it now
wait a minute
exactly
what do u wanna do tho? factorise?
Completely factor
umm my guy tropo is typin smtg let's see
I don't understand what's happening at the right side of the paper, but (x-3)(x+8) is x²- 5x-24, which doesn't immediately seem to be related to 2x²-5x-12.
Yea i multiplied the x^2 value to -12
Though, hmm, if we take (2x-3)(2x+8) instead, we get 4x²-10x-24 which is exactly 2 times 2x²-5x-12.
And 2x+8 is easily halved, so we can write (2x-3)(x+4) = 2x²-5x-12. Still with the caveat that I don't understand where (x-3)(x+8) came from in the first place ...
got it
just middle term split -5x to -8x+3x
Well usually we do something where we multiply 2x^2 by -12 and then we get the two values we were looking for and then we're supposed to divide or something
2x^2-8x+3x-12
2x(x-4)+3(x-4)
?
(2x+3)+(x-4)
(2x+3)(x-8/2)
(2x+3)(2x-8) as rhs is 0
got it?
Yea i got it thank you
no problem

Could I provide a rref matrix for this?
so for one with no solutions I could give a rref matrix where the last row has 1 in it
there's nothing that stipulates that your matrix be in rref
nor anything that forbids it
so I can?
yes of course, why couldn't you
because I thought that would have been too easy
like for no solution I could just say
RREF such as:
1 0 0 0 | 2
0 1 0 0 | 5
0 0 1 0 | 7
0 0 0 1| 3
0 0 0 1 | 0
so the system of equation would be
x_1 = 2
x_2 = 5
x_3 = 7
x_4 = 3
wait acc
what would x_4 be here
it will be a free variable nvm im dumb
so x_4 = t
is that correct
@clever citrus Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
tysm
and for infintely many solutions:
1 0 0 3 | 2
0 1 0 7 | 5
0 0 1 5 | 7
0 0 0 2| 3
0 0 0 0 | 0
could I do something like this
since rank < number of variables
@fading flume
and for unique solution same matrix but with rank = number of variables
1 0 0 0 | 2
0 1 0 0 | 5
0 0 1 0 | 7
0 0 0 1| 3
0 0 0 0 | 0
hmm
this looks like it could be reduced too
1 0 0 3 | 2
0 1 0 7 | 5
0 0 1 5 | 7
0 0 0 1| 3/2
0 0 0 0 | 0
but yes infinite solutions when rank is less than number of variables
wb my matrix for unique solution
thats correct right
ye for a full rank
let me check the rest one sec
wait
ill send my whole answer
i made a more
simple rref
my bad
okay
wait isnt my first example incorrect now that I think abt it
since it can still be reduced further
r4 - r3
but it will have no solutions since it will look like
1 0 0 0 | 1
0 1 0 0 | 2
0 0 1 0 | 3
0 0 0 1 | 4
0 0 0 0 | -4
right
eh acc i think thats correct since its the same still
For Unique solutions you'll have a full rank matrix like this right
$$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0& 0 & 0 & *\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & * \
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\
\end{pmatrix} $$
its 5 rows doe
I dont understand
right
but wont it be
4 variables
5 rows
so another column
of 0s
and one leading 1
in 4th column 4th row
and another row at the end of 0s
like I did
one sec
like
is mine not correct
that wont be unique doe
for unique
number of rank = no. variables
sen
righttttt
finally
lol
my point is
for unique solutions you'd get something like, all your x1 to x4 have solutions
right
For no solutions youd have something like this
$$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0& 0 & 0 & *\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & * \
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & *\
\end{pmatrix} $$
sen
whatttttt
or another
look at the last row
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 5
this wouldnt make sense
r4 - r3
so no sols
I should have reduced mine further my bad one sec
other rows may look different it doesnt matter but the key thing is the last row
that 0 0 0 0 | -4
then for infinite solutions
For infinite sos youd have something like this
$$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0& 0 & 0 & *\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & * \
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\
\end{pmatrix} $$
sen
correct
you dont have free variables
im assuming your last colum is augmented
right so what im saying is
from the system of equations only
how would one construct such a rref
with last row = -4
the question didnt ask for rref but it makes it easy to answer
ye the question only asked for system of eq
but thats
where im stuck
like the system of eq
I gave
does it rlly
represent my rref
for this
that'd be for when you contradictory system
wdym no solutions
.
no sols
$$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0& 0 & 0 & *\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & * \
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & -4\
\end{pmatrix} $$
sen
when you substitute the x4 you got to x3 and so on until you get solutions for everything
anyways for you to get this
your last row must have had
0 0 0 1 | 0 (there could've been more ways)
such that R4-> -R3
1-1=0
0-4=-4
do you see what i did there
thats
what i had
earlier
look
ah perff
perf perf
what your system is saying is that x4=0 and x4=4
ohhh
no no your x_4 is not a free var
do you get it now
this is a system of lineq just reduced
what did u start with
to get this
shit idk I just came up with the rref
x1 + ... =
x1 + .... would suffice yes
k now try coming up with equations that would look like this
is that hard?
nop
do I just go backwards
like the step we usually follow for rref transformation but backwards
as long as you understand infinite sols, unique sols etc
o ur referrin to x_1 x_2 x_3 being anything
your question wants 5 equations righ
right
when you ref your 5 equations become rows right
right
so for infinite sols you want rows that are linearly depedent
oh we r talkin about this rn?
4x_1 + 5x_2 + 5x_4 = 10
8x_1 + 10x_2 + 10x_4 = 20
my example
do you see that eq 1 and 2 are depedent
youd get something like
* * * *
0 0 0 0
not all just the ones you want to have 0
uhhh
i hope im not bad at explaining
see for this?
since i wasnt 2 rows of 0
yes that gives one row os 0s
yes yes
so you can make row 4 and 5 linearly dependent
see this row 1,2,3 are linearly indepedent
oh so
x1 + 2x2 + x3 + x4 = 1
2x1 + 4x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 = 2
6x1 + 12x2 + 6x3 + 6x4 = 6
for first 3 rows
are they linearly indepedent
row 1 * 2 for row 2 and row 2 * 3 for tow 3 so all of them r
what would your ref look like for this then
if all them are linearly depedent
how many 0 rows will we have
one?
no
or would it be 2
right
ah so its number of linear dependant rows - 1
but is my current solution
for inf solution correvt
in the ss i sent
because I just realized
im missing a equation
can you find me equations that would reduce to this
but first tell me what you think about row 1,2 and 3
For infinite sos youd have something like this
$$\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0& 0 & 0 & *\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & * \
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & *\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\
\end{pmatrix} $$
sen
x1 + 2x2 + x3 + x4 = 1
x2 = 2
x3 = 3
2x1 + 4x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 = 2
6x1 + 12x2 + 6x3 + 6x4 = 6
how abt that

bad?
what does depo mean
if 1,2 and 3 are not depedent then we'd have pivot colums
like this
it is
so its good?
good good
unique sols should be easier
and no solutions
uhhhh
idrk how to approach the no solution one
could I just put
5 equations that arent
dependant
at all
remember how we got no solutions
we had a contradictory system
x_ = 4, x_4=something else
right so can I just not do these 5 equations then
x1 = 1
x2 = 2
x3 = 3
x4 = 4
x4 = 0
give me an example of an eqauation like that
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 4
hmm this is lazy do it the x_1 + x_2 way
right but how would I do that im so confused
like can i j put 4 non dependant equations
2x_1 + 3x_2 = 0
2x_1 + 3x_2 = 16
and then one false at the end
look at this
oh so how abt
this
alr then peep this
5x1 + 3x2 + 4x3 + 7x4 = 3
x1 + x2 = 3
x3 + 4x4 = 7
3x1 + 2x2 = 16
3x1 + 2x2 = 0
but how do i find
a ewuation
that would result in mine
my rrwf*
or would that be harder
the rref you gave?
yes
u just did
thats gonna result in that same one?
row 4 and 5 are contradictory if reduced you'd get something like
0 0 0 0 | *
we're creating new ones giving equations like your question asked
you can ref this and show
ah
so when i rreg that
I get
1 0 0 0 | 0
0 1 0 0 | 0
0 0 1 0 | 0
0 0 0 1 | 0
0 0 0 0 | 1
it does not always have to follow this exact structure the last row 0 = something (non zero number) would suffice

uh
no bcz look
what happens again when we have depedent
right
one of them turn 0
perf
and we dont want contradictory
for sure
so yes
np np
