sorry
for scalars $\alpha_1,\alpha_2$, any matrices $A_1,A_2$ show that $T(\alpha_1A_1+\alpha_2A_2) = \alpha_1T(A_1)+\alpha_2T(A_2)$? as usual? (maybe you were taught to do it in a few steps, but fundamentally the same)
Edward II
ok, I know this one
This is additivity property of any matrix
No sorry
I meant Linear transformation*
I know i am asking for too much but can you provide me with the written solutions to these questions?
I will grasp it better then... and you'll be really doing me a lot of favor @carmine marten
!noans
The purpose of this server is to help you learn, not to hand out answers. Do not ask someone to give you the answer directly.
the part of question 1 I don't really know what else to really say, it's literally just filling in[B(\alpha_1A_1+\alpha_2A_2)B^{-1} = (B\alpha_1A_1+B\alpha_2A_2)B^{-1}=\dots=\alpha_1(BA_1B^{-1})+\alpha_2(BA_2B^{-1})]
Edward II
using basic properties of matrix addition and multiplication
Ohhh
you might have had this separated into two properties T(A1 + A2) = T(A1+A2) and T(cA) = cT(A) idk, but the two can be combined like this
So since you could write T(A +B) as alpha T(A) + beta T(B)
So this is closed under additivity and homogeneity right?
That means this is a valid linear transformation correct?
yes
Yes
We were taught the separate way of doing this
(up to you forgetting the scalars in one of those)
do be careful with notation, because B is already used
wait,that means the 3rd part of 1 b)
That is not a linear transformation correct?
Since A² + B² != (A+B)²
for q3, all the linear maps are given by matrices
yes
I would provide a specific counterexample
Ok, that is clear to me
Please explain the 3rd one now
You said I can use a matrix with n entries to denote n vectors
Where do I go from here @carmine marten
I'm saying you can use a matrix (other way around, 1 row n columns) to represent the linear transformation
the entries you find (like in questions 4, 6) by seeing what happens to basis vectors
can you please write that down?
I didn't quite get what you're trying to say?
$\begin{pmatrix} T(v_1) & T(v_2) & \dots & T(v_n)\end{pmatrix}$
Edward II
So the basis of R is...?
Ah right
but this matrix has only 1 row?
and we're only asked about transformations R^n to R
the transformation is explicitly left multiplying by this / taking the dot product with this, or can be written not as a matrix as
I lost track.... what do you even mean by this?
if you're confused by why matrices is enough
no like..
What matrix are you even talking about...?
How will it describe all linear transformations?
I mean that to any such matrix $A = \begin{pmatrix}a_1 & \dots & a_n\end{pmatrix}$ in the reals, we can associate the linear transformation taking a (column) vector $\vec x = (x_1,\dots,x_n)^T$ to $A\vec x$
Edward II
what I'm saying is that every linear transformation is of this form
yes,
That much I know
But what's it got to do with every transformation out there
"Find all linear transformations R^n to R"
multiplying by nx1 matrices gives all these transformations
multiplying what exactly?
(column) vectors in R^n
the map $T(x) = Ax$ is linear for each matrix $A$, and the claim is that all linear maps $T:\bR^n\to\bR$ are like this
Edward II
I have found all the linear transformations from R^n to R: they are given by nx1 matrices in the above way
note: I have jumped from any basis to standard basis because that's the one that is nice and obvious and by q4 this gives the same matrix directly
@proud idol Has your question been resolved?
i need to ask few questions about syllabus
@proud idol Has your question been resolved?
Okay, I finally got it now
@carmine marten can you explain me q8 too?
I honestly need some time to think about it, but this should be equivalent to showing that if C is invertible if and only the columns of C are linearly independent
the columns 'represent' the basis vectors, and there are n of them so they are linearly independent if and only if they are a basis

@neon iron
a=64 ar^2-ar=20

This is because a number in a sequence is a(n)=k (r^n-1) where k is the first term and r is common ration.

Hii, I have a very quick question of functions. If I were to try to write a quadratic equation to calculate when a ball hits the floor when someone tosses it up, can I write:
F(h) = 3 + 14t - 5t^2
what seems to be the problem?
Just wanted to check whether its correct
If h is your height and originally you're tossing it from 3 metres with speed 14m/s upwards, then the expression for h is correct. (notice how you failed to provide all those details)
i was wondering where the details were

Oh, whoops!! Sorry about that
Would I be able to check something else for my understanding?
In the case above, I throw it from 3m with an upwards velocity of 15 m/s
To work on the question, can I write f(h) as f(0) = -5t^2 + 14t + 3
Since I want the function when h = 0?
a. It should be 15t if you're projecting it with 15m/s upwards velocity.
b. you have h = f(t) = 0, yes.

I keep getting the wrong answer. The answer sheet says the answer is 9/2 but I keep getting something else
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
it should be +x^2/2
you have to distribute the negative
to the terms inside the parenthesis
so -(3-x) would become -3+x
and then we can integrate
or you can keep it as is and just make sure you have the two terms still in the parenthesis
everything else looks correct yeah
and 3 into 3x?
gotcha
so I just plugged in the integral and got 11/2
which is what i've been getting but on the answer sheet it says 9/2
can you show your work
ywyw
go ahead
so for this one
I've been trying to figure out what i've done wrong but I haven't been able to get past the first couple steps
lemme get the work
right
the second line should still be in the integral
and then you can take the anti derivative
so it would just be the integral from 1 to 2. 6/t^3- 1/t^2?
yep
and then i just integrate?
exactly
well just integrate it first
term by term
and then plug it in
and yes it’s the upper minus lower
alright just one sec to work it out
hmm maybe im just being daft. but I got -9/2 and the answer sheet says 7/4
from here
integrate each term before plugging in
you didn’t integrate yet and plugged it in
so it'd be something along the lines of 6x^4/4-x^3/3?
no. nvm
not that
would you mind just helping me out with that one. I think im going crazy
alright so 6/t^3 can be rewritten as what using negative exponents
sort of
so it would be 6t^-3
if we bring it from the denominator to the numerator
we just negate the exponent
and then we can use the power rule
which would give us something with t^-2
but with a constant in the front
right
we can also do the same to 1/t^2
over -2 right
yep
right so t^-1
so t^-1/-1?
yep
alrighty
which is just -t^-1
right
now we can substitute
so it'd be 6(2)^-2/-2 - (-(2)^-1)?
you’re welcome

How
shouldnt the answer be 9C5 since every card has 1,2 or 3
108 is correct
I don't know the solution process
but the question said at least 1 card tho
oh ok
you can choose anything and its valid
i would consider this problem by using cases…
you are picking 5 cards, and you need to pick at least a card of 1, 2, and 3
then, you can count the number of ways by adding the cases (spoilered hint) ||card number combinations can be 11123, 12223, 12333, 11223, 11233, or 12233||
alternatively you can do this problem using complementary counting but still the answer is achieved using a very similar method (i.e. similar style of casework)
??
Lion 1, Rabbit 1, Tiger 1, Lion 2, Rabbit 2
is not a valid combination
for example
it said one card
at least one card each is what the problem means
this is evident because the condition would make zero sense otherwise
ok then
Cards with numbers 1 2 3 must come together. The pattern doesn't matter
i think the best way is to consider the cases where you dont pick all 3 numbers : which is 9C5 - 3 * 6C5
9C5 is the total number
3 is which number to exclude : so (1,2) , (2,3) , (1,3)
and 6C5 comes from picking numbers that arent excluded

Got this correct but I just wanted to think about it more, does anyone know how I can find this domain of integration as a multi-variabled function so I could plot it? I have an idea of how it looks but I would like to confirm my understanding
@wild tapir Has your question been resolved?
@wild tapir Has your question been resolved?
The integration set is:
$D={ (x,y,z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x \in [-1,1],-\sqrt{1-x^2}\leq y \leq \sqrt{1-x^2}, 0 \leq z \leq \sqrt{x^2+y^2}}$
cristorenzo99
It should be the same as:
$D={(x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^3 : -1 \leq x \leq 1, y^2 \leq 1-x^2, z^2 \leq x^2 +y^2}$
cristorenzo99
You could plot it using Geogebra maybe

The question says this is a parallelogram. Therefore can I do distanceBA=distanceDC and distanceBD=distanceAC to get two equations and then isolate the unknown terms?
I know that there's a different way to solve this, but I came up with this possible resolution and wanted to know if it makes sense
since its a parallelogram the distance of the vertices of the opposite sides (which are equal) should be the same? right?
@lunar creek Has your question been resolved?
What do you mean exactly?
Here's an easier-to-read graphic
so, BD = AC
and DC = BA
cause it's a parallelogram, right?
therefore the distance from the points B,D and A,C must be the same; Just like the distance from the points D,C and B,A right?
The length BD is, by definition, the distance between the points B and D, yes
With that being said, I can use that to come up with two equations and then find A and B, right?
yeah sounds good
Closed by @lunar creek
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
@lunar creek there is a much easier way to find point A though
DC is parallel to BA, so they have the same rise over run
you mean the same angular coefficient?
not even that
just the same rise over run
From D to C, the change in x coordinates will be the same as from B to A, and same with y coordinates
ah, this?
Nice, didn't know this way of solving this
the slopes are indeed the same for both lines, but because the lines have the length, the change in y and change in x is the same for both lines

When building a completion of $\mathbb{Q}$, it can employ Cauchy sequences. Call $C$ the ring of Cauchy sequences over $\mathbb{Q}$ and call $N$ the ideal of sequences that tend to zero. $N$ is maximal, so then the quotient $C/N$ is a field. Now, some of the proofs I'm reading usually say someting among the lines "Let $\lambda \in C/N$ and let it be represented by $(x_n) \in C$". Does this depend on the axiom of choice when saying this for uncountably many lambdas?
I think it can be avoided by working with lambda directly, but invoking a representative for each lambda seems choice-y, but it also lets me work over rational sequences instead

@static jacinth Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
probably you should try one of the more advanced channels like #groups-rings-fields
yeah I think that should need axiom of choice. just like for example picking a set of representatives of the quotient group R/Q requires AC. but I am no expert on that kinda stuff
I never thought about this construction being a factor ring. thanks for that
It's kind of disappointing that the proof of existence of these things relies on AC
well the thing still exists
or which specific thing do you mean right now
when would you ever care about having a set of representatives of C/N
Here the construction is meant for p-adics, so no Dedekind cuts will avoid AC
To prove that it's unique up to unique isomorphism
I need a function that maps elements from one field to another, and so it is necessary to have a representative for each element in the quotient
I don't mean to xy by any means though, I felt like somehow a choice function can be found in these kind of cases
maybe but I wouldnt know how a choice function could look like. as noted before, better to go into the advanced channels with this

whats the method of doing this?
What would a general term of the expansion look like?
Hint:||use the binomial theorem||
Tr+1 = (nr) (8x^3)^n-r(-1/2x)^r
is it this^
Right, and you want to have a constant term in the expansion
So what would the exponent of x be in a constant term?
can you give an example of a nonzero constant term
6
like ax^2 + bx + c where c is a non zero constant term right?
0 i think
Yes c will be a nonzero constant term as long as c≠0
3n-3r=0?
,rotate
Isn’t it this?
It is
How do we equate exponent of x to 0
Now you want to find integer solutions to this, and n≥r≥0
But we have to variables
Calm down
N=4 and r=3 satisfies this
Yes
From this, you can see N=4k and r=3k , k≥1also satisfies the equation
How do we get this?
3(4k)=4(3k)
Ok yes got it
So you have a set of values of n which have nonzero constant term
The set S={n | n=4k, k≥1, k integer}
So all possible values would be {4,8,12,...}
But this goes till infinite right
Yes
So it’s better if we give the answer in the set format
Yes that's why I wrote this

<@&286206848099549185>
this question is super easy but i was absent when maam teach this
DAE = DAB - EAB
DAB = 80 (alternate angles on parallel lines)
you could construct a line at like FB
then the shape would be 4 sided polygon meaning the interior angle sum is 360
90 + 90 + 125 + EAB = 360
hmm
idk
or easier
since EF and AB are parallel lines
FEA + BAE = 180
since they are co-interior angles

Hey guys, my weak mind can't figure out how to calculate something:
So, George comes to me and gives me 50.000 fake bananas, i tell him that i can turn these fake bananas into real bananas but i will take a percentage of these bananas as a payment.
So i take his 50.000 fake bananas, in the meantime, on my own, i harvest 100,000 fake bananas, so now in total i have 150.000 fake bananas, 50.000 of which are George's.
I finally decide to turn these bananas into real ones, so i go to Mr. Cool. Mr. Cool is capable of turning fake bananas into real bananas but he will keep the 50%.
After finally converting the fake bananas into real ones, first i keep the remaining amount of MY bananas that i harvested, so now the remaining bananas are George's.
I go to George with the real bananas, but before giving them to him, i take 20% of his remaining bananas as payment as i said before.
So, how many real bananas did I and George get?
50,000 yes
Yes
that's less than 100,000
Like, how many bananas remain of my previous 100,000 ones
I hand to Mr.Cool 150,000 fake bananas
100,000 of which are mine, and 50,000 are George's
Percentages are my weak point
Wait maybe my mind had a realisation
So, 66.67% of 150,000 is 100,000
66.67% of 75,000 is around 50,000
Oh my god wait am i that stupid
Ok...

Hello,
I need to prove that all checkerboard matrices are diagnoalizable.
(checkerboard matrix = aij = 1 if i-j is even, aij = 0 otherwise)
So, for instance, This is a 5x5 checkerboard matrix:
$\begin{pmatrix}1&0&1&0&1\ :0&1&0&1&0\ :1&0&1&0&1\ :0&1&0&1&0\ :1&0&1&0&1\end{pmatrix}$
sloppymope
I tried finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors but I couldnt really see where it was going
Why don't you use matrixcalc?
wdym?
I want to prove for a general checkerboard matrix
I thought about that , base is easy but I couldnt really complete the step.
I can show my full work but in a nutshell what I tried to do was to assume for n, prove for n+1.
So given B nxn matrix we know its diagonalizable so we take the P such that PBP^1 is diagnoal then we try to do smth to P to create an n+1xn+1 matrix that will diagonalize an n+1 x n+1 matrix but I didnt really know how to do that

How was the chain rule historically proven?
I.e-
$\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$
Where f' and g' represent the derivative of f and g respectively.

Hey how do I do these?
(f + g)(x) is f(x) + g(x)
plot each point, so plot a point at x = -5, x = -4, x = -3, x = -2, etc
So pick a bunch of points, input them, get an output and plot the outputs?
they generously made the functions be lines, which change on the same points
until you understand which ones are unnecessary
Will I be fine if I only pick the exact points? Ex : 5, 2 , 3
Or do I need to do like the fraction (half,Quarter) points as well?
you will need x=-3, x=0, x=3, and at least two more points to the left and right
Am I doing this right?
i don't understand the last column
When x is -3, f is 3 and g is -2
That’s an error, oops
Oh.. what have I done
I always make silly mistakes like this
Idk how
I know what I’m doing tho
Hold up
i don't understand the first part of those ordered pairs either
particularly the last three rows
I just noticed that as well….
It should be 3,4,5 the last three ordered pairs (x vals)
I’m so stupid idk how I keep making all these silly mistakes
that's okay, you're learning
once you get comfortable with it you'll find that you need the chart less and less
but for now it's good to be explicit so you can retrace your steps
Ok… so are these ordered pairs I have enough.. I picked the exact points that I saw since I’d rather not have to plot/deal with fractions… but do you think I need more x values to the left and right of -3 and 3?
you should do one to the left of -3 yeah
Okay I’ll do -4.5
Ok I think these are enough points, one more to right is unnecessary…..
Ok… so I now just plot these and I get my (f+g)(x) line yeah?
yeah (except that's not -8/2)
-9/2
i think you mean -9/2 but honestly just write -4.5
yeah go ahead

(a) Bernouii(0.10) since Bob TikTok chance 10%
(b) The total # of viral Tiktoks out of the n=100 posted ones since its basically adding the X's up based on if X=0 (not viral) or X=1 (viral)
(c): ????? What does sample distribution even mean? I know intuitively the meaning but adding algebra makes it so much harder, why is it so much letters? Need to find example of same problem or else I am lost

@clear knot Has your question been resolved?
so this will look like a normal distribution since there are enough observations n=100 to make it look towards normal by the central limit theorem ? the thing now is I am not sure what the mean and standard deviation of this normal distribution will be;
<@&286206848099549185>
how do i find sampling distribution of sum of Xi ?
each Xi is bernoulli(0.1)
@clear knot Has your question been resolved?
I’m pretty sure that the sampling distribution is binomial
Since Y is essentially the sum of n Bernoulli random variables
Meaning Y should be binomially distributed
You can’t really invoke CLT since that would be an approximation and it ask for the exact sampling distribution
At least that’s how I read the question
So I believe that Y has a binomial distribution with n = 100 and p=0.1
Or I guess you would leave n as is, but when you estimate p in part d you set n = 100
Would final answer for c be something like this then?
Sampling Dist: nXbar = Y ~ Bin(100,0.1).
PMF: P(nXbar = Y = v) = (100 choose v) (0.1)^v (0.9)^(100-v)
I believe
Can u check my work on the rest?
(d) (X1+X2+...+X100)/100
(e)
{p hat > u} = percent of viral tiktoks that are more than u
{n X bar > v} = number of viral tiktoks more than v
(f) u = v/n
(g) p hat > 0.20, or v > 20
(h) Sum from 21 to 100 of (100 choose v)(0.1)^v(0.9)^(100-v) ~= 0.00081
or can a <@&286206848099549185> check it* to not put you on the spot
Google "sum of Bernoulli random variables"
bin(100,0.1)
helllo?
<@&286206848099549185>
p hat is (X1+X2+...+X100)/100

<@&286206848099549185> let X1, X2, ..., Xn ~ N(0,1) what's the sampling distribution of X bar?
my friends say it is different answer than N(0, 1/n)
N(0, 1/sqrt(n))
N(0,x) where x is the variance or std?
The two main parameters of a (normal) distribution are the mean and standard deviation
exactly
so 1/n is your variance correct?
it DOES
because i want to know if your 1/n represents variance or std
then it's correct
also, tbh, i forgot how to even start this problem
i only have the answer but i didnt remember the process LOL
Because Now i am looking
X1 + X2 ... + Xn ~ N(0,n)
in this case then it looks like the answer should be 1+1+...+1 n times
so dividing by n divides the variance by n^2
(0, n/n) = (0,1)
:(
is that just a property to memorize?
rafilou2003
im going to fail this class bro
you can find this again
you use that the expectation (mean) is linear
and the def of variance
Ah yes i know that
But variance is different
right
Var(aX+bY)=a^2Var(X)+b^2Var(Y)
only for X and Y independent
otherwise there's some 2abCov(X,Y)
but it's pretty easy to see right?
like a^2 + 2ab + b^2
acts almost like trinomial
Nah, it's not obvious at all
I'll just memorize it though
Ok so in our case (1/n) Var(X)
X1 + X2 ... + Xn ~ N(0,n <- [since we add the variances of X's which is 1 up to n] )
so Var(X1 + X2 ... + Xn) = n <- {showed before}
to find X bar's variance we divide the stuff inside the variance by n but by rule it needs to divide by n^2 since Var(aX) = a^2Var(X)
Then final answere is N(0, 1/n)
Yes

just take e^bx common from denominator
wait what
sorry english is not my first language we call it taking common here
taking common as in:
e^bx(Ae^-bx+1)
do you get why A has the coeffecient e^-bx?
so $L(x)=\frac{600e^{bx}}{A+e^{bx}}\cdot\frac{\frac{1}{e^{bx}}}{\frac{1}{e^{bx}}}$
Jash
yea exactly
oh the top cancels out
in the bottom u can distribute it into each term
so u get A/e^bx+1
yup

So i have 2 reasonings and i get two answers, the one i posted is my second reasoning. I just want to confirm my understanding of the problem and why one way is the correct way. I first explain my 2nd reasoning which is what you see above. So my reasoning is given i have 2 temps and it takes 11 minutes to go from one to another i just use algebra and plug it into the equation i derived in the 4th image where ln[t-70] is on the left side. and then i pull out k and plug t2-t1= 11minutes and divide it to get my K. This makes sense since i dont have the rate it cools at.
My next reasoning makes sense but i believe i doesnt yield the correct answer in part b: My reasoning behind it is i assume the rate is (85.7 - 81.3)/11 = 4.4/11 is my rate thus all i did was i took 98.6 - 4.4 and said at T(11) = 94.2 and solved for K after i solved for C using T(0) = 98.6
My question is which reasoning is correct here? my curent assumptions i the 2nd reasoning since in reality the 11minutes might not be some rate?
don't post in someone else's channel
ok
you able to help with the my reasoning
i'm looking at it
oh thank you very much
i think the problem is you using (T_2 - T_1)/(t_2 - t_1) to get the rate K
because this assumes that the rate of cooling is constant
it's assuming a linear thing
but you want an exponential thing
so what you should do is assume like T(t) = a + be^-Kt
i have a simple problem, anyone care to take a look at it?
and then plug in T(0) = 98.6, T(c) = 85.7, T(c+11) = 81.3
and that should give you a, b, K
i see
interesting
yea what i did was, T(t1) = 85.7 - T(t2)=81.3
i wonder if that yields same resutls
i'll try it
because it sounds like the same thing
i'll give it a try
thank you

how come can i say that $\text{If } \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{x}(q^i)\text{, then }\dfrac{d}{dt}\dfrac{\partial \mathbf{x}}{\partial q^i} = \dfrac{\partial \dot{\mathbf{x}}}{\partial q^i}$
tannhaus
one is taking the derivative with respect to qi then with respect to t, the other is taking the derivative with respect to t then with respect to qi
but order of differentiation does not matter
so they're equal
why the order doesn't matter tho?
i know partial derivatives usually commute
but it's weird that partial and total derivatives are commuting
Depends on the assumptions of x, q_i
If x doesn't depend on d/dt ( q_i) then you can prove it by taking the total derivative of x wrt to t, then partial derivative wrt to q_i. If x does depend on d/dt(q_i), then it's also true, just the proof is longer

Why does $\int e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}}\dd x$ look like this?
What kind of explanation are you looking for?
After all the oriented area under the function is positive there
e^(-x^2/2) is positive everywhere
so if you go more and more left
you're taking away more and more positive area
so it's decreasing
well desmos decided to choose a constant of integration so that the integral can be negative
hopefully if you actually asked it $\int_{-\infty}^x f dx$ then it wouldnt look like that
Denascite
Oh
it helps to rewrite the integral as $F(x)=\int_0^x e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}dt$
artemetra
as x grows the integral 'accumulates' more area
going in the other direction, the area is taken away
Is there any way we can determine the zero
It looks like it's at -c
And it looks like that's always the case
Is there a better justification?
doesn't work when c = 50
if c is big enough then it has no zero. so thats definitely false
let an indefinite integral of a function f(x) be F(x)
integral from -infinity to x of f(t) dt = F(x) - F(-infinity)
you want to know when F(x) = 0
so that's when integral from -infinity to x of f(t) dt = -F(-infinity)
so it's dependent on what -F(-infinity) is
the function is classical cdf of N(0,1) adn it shu dlook this way:
What's cdf

Closed by @shut obsidian

essentially you need to solve
$\sqrt{\pi}\frac{\erf(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}x)}{\sqrt{2}}+C = 0$
artemetra
which transforms to $\erf(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}x) = -C\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
artemetra
which transforms to $x = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}x}\erf^{-1}({-C\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{\pi}}})$
artemetra
Lol, thanks
So here, we had $J_u$
That means the integral function with lower bound u
And we had an upper bound of x I guess, right?
what's J ?
otherwise erf is defined for all reals
We had $J_u(x)$ with $f$ defined as $f(t) = e^{- \frac{t^2}{2}}$
Right?
Now the exercise asks how $J_u(-u)$ would look like
E.g. is it strictly monotonic increasing etc.
Should be yes, right
Just like J_u(x)
so $J_u(-u) = \int_u^{-u} f(t) \dd t$
artemetra
so $J_{-u}(u) = \int_{-u}^{u} f(t) \dd t$
artemetra
this is nicer
Yes
How can we imagine that though
f being the function from before
well i know how that function would look like
How?
What needs to be odd
It'll be symmetrical to the origin apparently
So yes
Can you plot the original function next to it
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.
It's just to examine this function, is it strictly monotonic increasing, if so, argue why, is it symmetrical to the origin, if so, argue why
I meant the integral of that
what?
Of e^(...)
i plotted the integral and the original
But that's the integral from -x to x?
Not the indefinite one?
same thing as from -u to u
Or are they the same
no
integral cant be negative if function is positive here
i was plotting this
you mstmove this cmd up
it can be
no
check the bounds
yes those are different bounds
do noto discuss with it
it's not what i have
it is worth mentioning that there is a slight but subtle difference between the error function and the cumulative distribution function of the standardized normal distribution, their relationship can be given
where:
one sec
desmos doesn't support indefinite integrals but this is as close as i can get it to be
Ok well that's the same
the J thingy is twice the other integral
why? f(t) is even, so $\int_{-u}^{u} f(t) \dd t = \int_{0}^{2u} f(t) \dd t$
How would we argue that the J thing is strictly monotonic increasing
derivative is posotive
Ah, I guess just say the original function is pos
What about it being symmetrical to the origin
How do we argue that
integral of even function is odd
no problem
Wait, if we didn't know that
Could we still argue
artemetra
use this fact

hey, can someone tell me how we got this step?
idk i think im forgetting basic ln/log rules
log rules, ln(A) - ln(B) = ln(A/B)
missing set of parentheses in ln (x+h)
yea ik that part
good way to remember them is they always take an operation to the next most powerful operation
so addition -> multiplication, subtraction -> division, multiplication -> exponentiation
that sort of stuff
ye i rmmbr the rules now
but
i still cant wrap my head around it for some reason lol
which part in particular
