I've been stuck on this problem for like 20-30 min. The answer is not .76% please help <@&286206848099549185>
i have an approximate guess on how this should work
(im not 100% sure, but reasonably sure)
try finding the final growth
like the total change in those years
and then put that as a decimal, and raise it to the power of 1/5
the total change is 3.8%
no, like
growing by 5.5% and then 1.1%
isnt growing by 6.6%
because growing by 5.5% means multiply by 1.055
did u do like 1.055x1.011x.965x.989x1.018
for each growth, you multiply by (1+percentage/100)
so we have 1.03627495 times our original value
now assume we have n% growth rate for all five years
what would n be to make the total growth be 3.6...%
but it wants the mean growth
but just dividing that by 5 doesnt get me the right anwer
because it's exponential
growth is exponential
so you would need (1+n/100)^5=1.03627495
||i got 0.7152 from this||

How do I integrate from 0 to 3 √(x^2+9)? I think I have a general idea on the steps, but I'm not sure.
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
I got x/(2√(9-x^2)) - (1/2) [ ln |(9+x√(9-x^2))/3√(9-x^2)| ] 0 to 3, but I don't think this is right.

and the graph for secx just goes up forever
were you able to at least draw the region?
no
can you try?
ik what it looks like but it just doesn't make sense to me

I have this problem that I am unsure of how to approach.
Prove that {(1-x),(1+x)} is a base for P_1(ℂ)
Any help appriciated. I am generally familliar with bases etc. But this question confuses me.
Never had instances of proving something was a base?
nope, this is the first. I've done "prove subspace" but i am confused what to do here I understand that (1-x) and (1+x) would be the two vectors of the vector room that contains all Complex numbers
but not sure where to start
What does being linearly independent mean?
That they can't be a linear combination of each other, i.e. not paralell in this case
In the complex plane? Probabaly not...
well not... that i can see, but should I use the proof that there is no a, so that (1-x)=a(1+x)
for any scalar a that is a member of Real Numbers
THat would solve the first part I guess....
I assume that means the vecctor space with one imaginary axis and one real axis
No, really not
The vector space of polynomials of degree less or equal to 1, with complex coefficients
You know, like iX + 2i + 1
or more generally, aX + b with a and b complex numbers
oh, right... yeah I'm with you now
Exactly
First question solved, we have linear independence
Now generating (or spanning)
so is it enough to say that these two vecotrs constitues a base because the vector space is 2 dimensional (but how to prove this?) and that these are two non-paralell vectors in that space?
Aye P1(C) is 2-dimensional
But that would require a basis
If you can name a basis as to why this true
lemme think...
You have unconsciously used the fact that something else was a basis to show linear independence...
feels like I am looping here and not actually proving
That any vector in the space P_1 can be written as a linear combination of (1-x) and (1+x)
<@&286206848099549185>
To prove that {(1-x),(1+x)} is a basis for P_1(ℂ), we need to show that the set is linearly independent and spans the vector space P_1(ℂ).
Linear independence means that there are no non-trivial linear combinations of the vectors that result in the zero vector. In other words, if a(1-x) + b(1+x) = 0, then a = b = 0. This can be seen by equating the coefficients of x and the constant terms:
a - b = 0 a + b = 0
Adding these equations gives 2a = 0, so a = 0. Subtracting them gives 2b = 0, so b = 0. Therefore, the set is linearly independent.
Spanning means that any vector in the vector space can be written as a linear combination of the vectors in the set. In this case, any polynomial of degree 1 or less in P_1(ℂ) can be written as a(1-x) + b(1+x) for some complex numbers a and b. For example, if we want to write 2x + 3 as a linear combination of (1-x) and (1+x), we can solve for a and b as follows:
a(1-x) + b(1+x) = 2x + 3 a - ax + b + bx = 2x + 3 (a + b) + (-a + b)x = 2x + 3
Equating the coefficients of x and the constant terms gives:
a + b = 3 -a + b = 2
Adding these equations gives 2b = 5, so b = 5/2. Subtracting them gives 2a = 1, so a = 1/2. Therefore, 2x + 3 = (1/2)(1-x) + (5/2)(1+x). This shows that the set spans P_1(ℂ).
Since the set is linearly independent and spans P_1(ℂ), it is a basis for P_1(ℂ).

don't understand some of these
so 10a
is f(x)-g(x)
i get that
this is inverse
but i don't know how to do the other ones
like what is (gof)(x)
gof composition of 2 functions, (gof)(x) = g(f(x))
what about 10b
just x^2+ 8 divided by x-5?
yup
by the way, it is read out loud g of f of x, so you can remember that circle kinda looks like the o of "of"
ty
-4?
but simplify it to: (x^2+8)(x-5)
right right

given 0 <= x, if for every epsilon greater than 0, x <= epsilon ====> x = 0
i did by contradiction i assumed x is not equal to 0
then x > 0,[because x != 0] , x <= epsilon, then we take epsilon to be x/2 and then x <= epsilon = x/2
but my question is isnt x/2 less than x and its given that epsilon is greater or equal to x?
is it because of "for every epsilon" ?
Yeah, that is the important part. Since you prove it by contradiction, you assume these two statements:
for every epsilon greater than 0, x <= epsilon
and
x > 0
It would be cleaner to prove it by using the contrapositive statement (and very similar).
To prove the implication p=>q, you can equivalently prove (not q) => (not p).
So you assume that x > 0. Then you need to prove the opposite of for every epsilon greater than 0, x <= epsilon, which would be
there exists an epsilon greater than 0, such that epsilon < x.
The last part, you have proven by choosing epsilon = x/2 > 0. It exists, and so you are done with the proof by contrapositive.
how do you negate the original statement though
you start from the end to begining?
and negate the begining?
The original statement has the form of an implication p => q. You might know that this is the same as (not p) or q.
So the negation of an implication is (by DeMorgan's rules) p and (not q).
So to be specific, the negation of this statement:
for every epsilon greater than 0, x <= epsilon ====> x = 0
is equal to this statement:
(for every epsilon greater than 0, x <= epsilon) and (not x = 0)
alright. thank you 👍 for me contradiction works better

It's an arithmetic progression.
Linearity of the summation operator
this is not an undergraduate student, avoid using vocabulary that is confusing much more than anything else
Linearity is simple, it just means additivity and homogeneity of degree 1
To put it in simpler terms
you're trolling surely
Not sure how much simpler it can get
actually explaining the thing
You know, like a HS teacher would/should
When you do the big E to the thing it's the same thing as doing the big E to everything inside the thing
which this is not
$\sum_{r=1}^n (4r-6) = 4 \sum_{r=1}^n r - \sum_{r=1}^n 6$
Bezier

I shall now know to never interact positively with you ever again
Thank you for letting me know about you
Lmao!
that's the point
There's a formula you should know
because there's something you should notice
For which you may or may not use my remark
yeah
it depends a whole lot on the depth
and on your speed
can't answer that
best way to know is look at how long the national curriculum spends on the whole syllabus, what fraction of it this is, count how many hours that is, and have an idea of the ratio between the official hours and how many hours it takes you
something like that
it's easily 100h of work, depending on the depth and progression expected
but it's very hard to quantify
Could be 40
Could be 200
I just did all this stuff on khan academy some 4.5 years ago
time flies
I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer that
but most of it seems pretty well ordered as is (column 1 then column 2)
Except maybe move vectors to before/after coordinate geometry
Unless it's vector functions, then after all the calculus stuff
nvm it's basic vector stuff
That goes hand in hand with coordinate geometry
the goal is to not spend 20 min on that
that's a simple question if you know your theory properly
Like 3 min if you're pretty competent
you were getting somewhere weren't you ?
well, find a and l
so that this formula can be used properly
well clearly that can only be achieved for a negative n
Are you sure about that ?
turns out it also can't be achieved by a negative n
This expression is negative if n gets any kind of large, so it can't equal 720
try applying it better
I recommend you reread that bit of your lessons, and try to understand the idea/intuition
yeah no, largest term is 506, you get 128 of them
So that would sum to like, 30000
you don't try to learn math because you're bad at it
You try to learn math because you want to
though as a math major it's kind of because you must
But you must because you chose to
go read that again, and do it by very small steps, making sure each one is correct
then you can also try and figure out how I managed to give the approximation of 30k (32k would be more accurate) using this formula
sequences and series is standard calc material
but this is child's play at that level
For instance, I see this and just go
||"ah yeah so this evaluates to a quadratic, then if they're nice I can spot a factorization, otherwise I just throw the quadratic formula at it and I'm done in under a minute, I just don't feel like writing it all out"||
see for yourself
it goes under the same name
It's much more advanced
you have no classes and lectures, only exercises ?
Bad method
don't "briefly look over" something you want to memorize long term
that's about as bad a method as it gets
I just used khan academy, but there are also many other ressources out there
I'm not very knowledgeable about them though
but KA is still very standard

Sarika works twice as fast as Ajoy. If Sarika can complete the given task in 3 minutes, it will take___ to complete the task when both Sarika and Ajoy works together.
can soemone help?
i have reached this far that sarika can complete the work in 3min and Ajoy in 1.5. How do i find it for both of them working together?
If both of them only have to do half I’m guessing just add half of 3 minutes and half of 1.5 minutes to get the full time
can you explain why?
ans is 2mins
that’s just my educated guess if we’re assuming they both do half of the task
but clearly that’s not the case
that's not correct
ig the answer 2mins ia lil weird
sarika and ajoy don't do equal amounts of work in the task
in 1min s can do - 1/3 and a can do - 2/3 so in 1 min they can togetehr finsi whys the asnwer 2mins?
in one minute, sarika completes 1/3 of the task and ajoy completes 1/6 of the task
yes
oh sorry
my calculations dumb
also
can you explain local maxima and lcoal minima to me
?
do you know the definitions?
not really (im an 8th grader) i just know all the maximas amnd minimas who are not the golbal are the locals
correct?
do you know what a maximum is?
yea a point on a graph is called maxima when it is above its neighbouring points
a global maximum is when it's above everything else
note that all global maxima are local maxima
oooo ty understood
also can i help me with oen mroe sum?
46247^281 fidn the units digit
i know that it has fluctuation power which will rotate between 7 9 3 1
then we divide 281 by 4
after that im lost
so if you know it goes 7, 9, 3, 1, then don't you know it repeats every 4 multiplications?

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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
When you have the variable in multiple denominators, the general operating procedure is to make a common denominator between all terms
Then you will be able to say the numerator on the left equals the numerator on the right
The product of those two denominators would be the common denominator
What you multiply by depends on each term
For example the first one is "missing" (x-3) but it has (x+1)
So the first term you'd multiply just by (x-3)/(x-3)
You need only multiply by what each term is "missing"
Keep in mind that it may be possible to arrive at extraneous solutions through algebra; these would be values that cause division by zero in the original equation
So when you arrive at the solutions you have to check to make sure they dont cause division by zero
If such a solution appears, you exclude it (this is an extraneous solution)
The common denominator to target in your problem is
(x + 1) * (x - 3)
To make that common denominator you multiply the first term by
(x - 3)/(x - 3)
That would yield
3*(x -3) / [common denominator]
Then the second term you would multiply by
(x + 1)/(x + 1)
That would yield
2 * (x + 1) / [common denominator]
Now that you have a common denominator on the left, we can add those fractions together
Overall you'd get
[ 3(x-3) + 2(x+1) ] / [(x-3)(x+1)]
So 1 you also want to rewrite with the same denominator
It's missing both the (x - 3) and (x + 1)
So we multiply both of them to top and bottom
You'd get
[(x -3)(x+1)] / [(x-3)(x+1)]
On the right side
Does that make sense so far?
At this point
Because the denominator on left and right are the same
You can conclude the numerators must be equal
So you can say
3(x-3) + 2(x+1) = (x-3)(x+1)
And you can solve as an ordinary Quadratic equation
Just keep in mind
If you get either x = 3 or x = -1
These solutions would cause division by zero in the original expression
So you cannot accept them as solutions they would be "extraneous solutions" and must be excluded as answers to the problem
So in similar problems always double check your answers to make sure they dont cause division by zero

Hello i had to show that the set of continuous function M from [0,1] -> R with the sup metric is not compact.
I wanted to know if my reasonning is correct.
so i defined a function h from M -> R by h(f) = max (f) on [0,1]
I showed that h is continuous, and h (M) = R
Thus if M was compact, R would be compact, which is not the case and thus M is not compact

I'm trying to make sense of this matrix multiplication
the only way i get it to make sense, is if the defined (row) vector is represented as a column vector
you see it as V->0 = (1 0 0 0)
right?
but why is it written like that?
A would be the transformation vector
no
A is defined as column vector
not V->0
as far as i can see
oh actually yeah
A "and" current state
assuming V->0 is current state then yeah
that's right
but still is it common to use that notation for any vector?
no but you were right
yeah i get it
but then i assume that e.g. (1 2 3 4) is typically actually
(1
2
3
i guess?
as a notation for column vector
gotcha

that would be 78
so it would be double that?

here is what i think the proof is: 156/8=19.5, which means that each sum is a decimal, but that isnt possible because we only have whole number values

Hey guys, I need help with this:
Jack sorts eggs into different sizes. For this purpose he has a number of isosceles triangles with an apex angle of 80° and with varying side lengths.
a) How long must the sides of such a triangle be so that an egg with a diameter of 45 mm can just slip through. It can be assumed that the organic butts on Jack's hens are completely circular!
and it's also given that a triangle's angle sum is 180° so we can say 180-80 = 100 → 100/2 = 50, so the two other angles is 50 each
The circle in the triangle is the egg. Now I have to find the side lengths
@inland minnow Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
try looking at the radius and how it can interact with the sides of the triangle
I know, but that is the problem I need help with
can you make the radius perpendicular to the sides
shown in this photo
alright do you know trig
soh stands for Sine = opposite over hypot
cah is cosine = adjacent over hypot
and toa is tangent = opposite over adjacent
ill draw it out
X represents measure of the angle
And you choose opposite and adj based on which angle you're using
Opposite will always be the side opposite the angle, and adjacent will always be the side adjacent. (Hypot. Doesn't change)
thanks, I'll try calculating
@inland minnow Has your question been resolved?
how do i calculate the side lengths from only three angles
ok so we have the tiny triangle we created with angles of 40, 90 and 50 correct?
yes
in that triangle we also have a leg of 22.5 cm bc of the radius right?
yes
if we find the hypot of that triangle what can we do with it
ok but how do I find that one then?
so we have all angles and one leg, we are finding the hypot do you want to use sine or cosine
I'll do with sine
what will the substitutions be for sinx=o/h
I don't know, what you mean?
im using o/h as opposite over hypot
yes
ohh, I'm so sorry, now I understand

So take the number and add it to 22.5 to get the full length of the line splitting the triangle and lastly use trig agn using half the isosceles triangle and the full length u just found to get the hypot (one of the 2 equal sides on the whole triangle) and the bottom which is half the actual bottom so multiply that by 2
And you're done
i don't know if I did it correctly but I got the hypot to be 35.003? Should I add that to 22.5?
What did you input to get 35

thanks,
one more thing...
what does trig agn stand for
Trig is short for trigonometry
Remember that's only the height of the isosceles triangle, u have to do 2 more eqs for it to find one of the legs that are equal and other u find is half the base. Just multiply that by 2 and u have your sides

For this problem im aware there is 1 root, but im confused on the difference between the wording
For exactly and at least
Like what differentiates the two?
exactly one means only one and definitely no more than that
at least means there could potentially be more
Yes, but in an exam situation how would i know if its an atleast or an exact
Is it based on the brackets?
Im guessing for this one it would be 1 exact since it has the closed interval bracket
What if the function goes to 0 on (1,2)
At least?
consider if there's a way for you to introduce more roots without conflicting with the given info
note that atm, you're just given distinct points and the condition of continuity
sorry im not too sure what that supposed solution is
it'd help you visualise if you were to plot these points
Ok ill try that
and consider what ivt states
note that it states "at least one" instead of "exactly one"
try and make crazy stuff happen in between
points don't need to be connected smoothly
Sorry, im not sure what u mean 😭
going just horizontally isn't the only way to get from B→C above
I’m sorry but im still a but confused, are you saying there could be an additional potential point?
no
i'm saying you don't have to go efficiently between points
and that you can make pretty much anything you want happen in between (while still satisifying properties of a function/continuity)
Right but how does that differentiate when its exact
Like what?
given equation
info about derivatives/increasing/decreasing
here, you're given nothing concerning that

this is a question in my book, it doesnt tell me the answer but i think its D) 5, the way i've come to that conclusion is that ive rearranged them in order, then found the lcm to make them all the same denominator and picked 5 because 5x/30 is the middle, so D) "5". however i do believe this is not correct and im using the wrong way to find the answer
I would first calculate the value of x and then calculate the median
but how? shouldnt i have more stuff to find the average?
Like adding them isn't that hard and there's a reason mean is given in the question
ill try to add them then 1 sec
i got 5x/3
but then i just move /3 so it becomes 5x = 3 then x = 3/5
or is that wrong
i dont see how u got x = 30
Mean is sum/number of elements
i know that but im tryna find x and im not getting 30
mean is given in the question but i cant seem to figure out why
ie not sure which step id use it in
(5x/3)/5=10
i think i finally got the answer
oh forgot to write median is the middle number so 5
is it right?

am i going crazy or isnt this wrong???
It's not wrong
they start with x^2+10x-3y=13 then I Assume that they do -3y-13=-x^2-10x then they multiply by negative 1 but then its supposed to be 3y+13?=x^2+10x
but they have 3y-13 still
No
wait let me post the original question
They just add 25 to both sides
If that’s part of the original question then yes, you are correct
And it’s not part of the original question. It’s -13, not 13
💀
They just added 3y to both sides
alright I was tweaking for no reason then
I didnt see the -13 😭
alright thanks yall, I need some more coffee

would someone mind helping me with tghis one? it seems my current proof is flawed but im unsure the correct way to go about solving it.
my current logic for it is to suppose n is an even integer. this means n=2j for some j in Z. n=4k is the same as n=2(2k). k is an integer so 2k is basically any integer in Z which proves n=4k is even. similarly, n=4k+2 is equal to n=2(2k+1) where 2k+1 is also a valid int. both n values fit the definition of even so if n is even then it is also equal to n=4k or n=4k+2 for some int k
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
i closed the other one
contrapositive is probably easier for something like this
For your current proof, why are 2k and 2k + 1 exhaustive?
I mean they're both valid forms of integers, but do they include all integers when put together?
so i should prove that if n != 4k and n!= 4k+2 then n is odd?
well no but dont they fall into the even integer category?? idk i dont think i fully get it
Well, you're saying that 2(2k) and 2(2k + 1) are both even numbers for any integer k.
But that doesn't exclude a third form like 2(something), that aren't included in either of those, which would also be even.
For example, 2(3k) and 2(3k + 1) are both even.
But then there's 2(3k + 2) which is also even, but which isn't included in the first two.
so is the issue that while n encompasses ALL even integers, 2k and 2k+1 dont?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Oh, I think I see the issue.
You're proving that 4k and 4k + 2 are both even.
But that's not what it's asking you to prove.
well yeah but if n is an even integer and those two are also even, isnt it a true statement to say n is equal to those two?
Sorry, can you use less pronouns? I don't know what "those two" refer to.
OK, so let's do this.
There's 6k and 6k + 2.
Those are both even.
But 4 isn't in either one of them.
So, just because they're both even and 4 is an even number, that doesn't mean that 4 is in one of them.
ah
well in that case im not really sure how to go about doing the proof. maybe by starting w the contrapositive like the other user mentioned previously
Well, there are a few ways.
You can say that 2k and 2k + 1 are the even and odd integers, which combine to give all integers.
You can use induction to prove that if you have 2(2k) now, the next even number will be of the form 2(2k + 1). And then, if you have 2(2k + 1) now, the next even number will be of the form 2(2k).
You can then do that for the negative numbers.
Then you prove that 2(2(0)) is an even number.
we havent really learned induction
but in this case theyre 4k and 4k+2 respectively so theyre both even no?
Well, the form of even integers is 2j, right?
yeah\
And j needs to be able to be any integer, right?
ohhh so its 2 * every odd integer and 2 times every even integer
Right.
meaning its every even integer
ah
i see
so could my proof simply be:
if n is an even integer then n = 4k or n = 4k + 2 . Through being an even int, n=2j for some j in Z. n=4k and n=4k+2 also respectively translate to n=2(2k) and n=2(2k+1) for various values of k. Given that 2k+1 and 2k are the definitions for both even and odd integers, they would encompass all even integers. Because n is even, n would be equal to 2(2k) and 2(2k+1)?
idk phrasing it is always the hard part
That's a good first draft.
how might you improve it?
2j with j as any integer is the form of all even integers. 2k and 2k + 1 are the even and odd integers respectively, and so 2k and 2k + 1 put together give all integers. So, 2(2k) and 2(2k + 1) allow us to multiply 2 by any integer j. So, all even integers are of either the form 2(2k) or 2(2k + 1), which expand to 4k and 4k + 2.
Something like that.
yeah that is smoother than mine 😭
It's like writing nonmath papers. Unless you're in a test, you write a rough draft, then you make revisions until it looks decent.
You can also read other people's proofs to see what makes them understandable or hard to understand.
yeah but sometimes its hard to find problems similar enough to the point they like help yk?
thank you though
You're welcome.

So I was just wondering but if you put the eigenvectors in a different order then you get a different equation so that for example the textbook provides this equation but i had it so x^2/12+y^2/4=1. is my answer still correct?
also since its in a different order then for the Q matrix, we would have a different rotated coordinate system no?
heres the full answer, i have my sketch flipped around
would the first eigen vector be the x axis and the second eigen vector be the y axis?

Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
Well if it's an expression then it's not possible to simplify

can anyone help me out?? i feel like im supposed to use iterative approach and i feel like my calculations are right but ig theres an error
i feel like it might be related to the force acting on the ball by the air but i've got no idea how to calculate that

whats voltage at A --- B
i get -10v, but answer is 30v somehow
30 would only make sense if 10v was flipped or current flowing in other direction no ?
teacher made a mistake then, i can't possibly wrong
you're probably going to have to show work
g

seems weird that the rest of the circuit would be irrelevant here
but i guess that makes sense?
it does to me, but either teacher is wrong (unprobable) or me
circuitlab really doesn't like this circuit
neither do I
what happens when current flows inside the + of a battery ?
irl? probably recharges the battery
here? i guess it flows out the other end but at a lower voltage??
like i see your logic and i agree that it looks like someone messed up and added 10+20 instead of doing 10-20

it's irrelevant because the current source tells you the current through the 10 ohm resistor, so the voltages are basically fixed, unless the circuit wants to have the equivalent of two voltage sources connected in parallel
as for why it's 30 volts, you know that the voltage across the 10 ohm resistor is 20 V (where the top is more positive / higher potential than the bottom), so adding that to the 10 V voltage source gives you 30, and then subtracting the 40 V (note the orientation) and adding back in the current across the 5 ohm resistor gives you 0
@maiden wave in case you want to come back
and as for why your answer of -10 V is wrong, you have a sign error in your KVL
I guess another easier way to look at it is the 40V minus the 2A * 5 ohm
