The day before two days after the ay before tomorrow is monday. What day is it today?
i also need help how to justify the answer with a formula. My answer is saturday but others say its sunday
how is it so?
the day before tomorrow is js today

I think my solution isn’t correct so what do u guys think of this ? Am I missing something?
$du=\frac{sin(t/2)}{2}dt$, $du=sin(t/2)dt$ is incorrect
smidgin
(chain rule)
Yep
so i just need to add to my solotion 2 up there right ?

Show that the number overline(352) in base b cannot be a perfect square whatever the number base b, b > 5, b is natural
I dont even know how to begin...
what is overline 352
well if 352 were in base 10 you can write it as 3 * 10^2 + 5 * 10 + 2 right?
like
what if it's in base b, how would you write that sum?
the number 352
generally 3* b^2 + 5*b + 2
yep, now that's a quadratic we can factor
is it uh (3b+2)(b+1)
yeah, now presumably we can hopefully draw some conclusion from that 😛
hopefully 😭
i guess one thing i see is that either b + 1 factor itself is a perfect square OR it has to be a factor of 3b+2
but 3b + 3 is divisible by (b+1) and 3b + 2 is only 1 apart from 3b + 3 so b + 1 cannot be a factor of 3b + 2?
so then if you can show b+1 being a perfect square implies 3b+2 isn't a square that would be enough
i'm not very good at this kinda stuff though so maybe this is completely the wrong way to think of it and theres something easier
Hm.
I was thinking we can prove that uh
(3b+2)(b+1) is a multiple of 3+2 or M4+2 or M4+3 or M5+2 or M6+2
therefore they aren't perfect squares
because we didnt use the information that b > 5
idk
i think that is just necessary because for b <= 5 we wouldn't even be able to use the digit 5 in the given number
Oh, right...
so if b + 1 is a pefect square
b + 1 = c^2
3b + 3 = 3c^2
3b + 2 = 3c^2 - 1
i dunno does that help 😅
<@&286206848099549185> anyone with an idea of how to prove that
b + 1 being a perfect square implies 3b + 2 isn't a perfect square?
Hint: it doesnt matter that b+1 is a square
if nothing really matters
how can i finally prove
||modulo 3||
can you elaborate?
But b+1 doesnt necessarily have to divide 3b+2 or be a square itself
^ just interested in this question, we saw already that if b + 1 isn't a perfect square then the (b+1)(3b+2) number can't be a perfect square
So this is wrong
No that is wrong
You are saying that if xy is a perfect square then x is a perfect square or x divides y
But for example 144=8*18 contradicts your statement
yeah you're right, i guess the two numbers can share factors
so what i was saying is bogus
Im gonna try to prove now that (3b+2)(b+1) can never be a square
alright
i'm also having a hunch that b+ 1 and 3b+2 might always be relatively prime
uh like
may the common divisor of them be d
and prove that d is 1
i forgot how to solve those
Suppose d divides b+1 and 3b+2, then d divides 3(b+1)=3b+3 . So d divides 3b+3-(3b+2)=1
||Euclid division algorithm||
So d=1
yes, exactly
ok then we're back to my previous argument! 😄
the only way this could happen now is if both b+1 and 3b+2 are both perfect squares
no?
And we are done
is it more obvious that i think or something?
Do you know modular arithmetic?
its been like 15+ years since i took an abstract algebra class
most of my math has been collecting dust in my brain
M?
those can't be perfect squares for some reason? 🤔
Yes.
as i said here
Proof:
Every number is of the form 3k, 3k+1 or 3k+2.
(3k)^2=9k^2=3(3k^2)
(3k+1)^2=9k^2+6k+1=3(3k^2+2k)+1
(3k+2)^2=9k*2+12k+4=3(3k^2+4k+1)+1
So squares are of the form 3k and 3k+1
But never of the form 3k+2
sorry just went over my head i guess!
Therefore 3b+2 cant be a square
Indeed!

I honestly have no idea where to start with this. This is a worksheet to prepare myself for a quiz tmrw. And would like guidance on how to figure out what to do! Thank you.
So the first thing would be figuring out what you don't understand
So when I read it, it says ivt on the interval [3,5]
I look at the graph and I see theres lines going thru [3,5] but not points?
I don't know if I can still use that because I see a open circle at that point (-2,2)
but i'm just super lost tbh
a line consist of points
The [3, 5] is a set
ik for it to be ivt it has to be continuous right
It refers to alll the values of x such that 3<=x<=5
so the first one would be continuous because on the graph theres points that are between there correct
or i mean it would be an ivt
yes it would satisfy the ivt property
that would mean the second one wouldn't
because there isn't a line connecting them
and the third one would
so then im stumped on question 4
how would i go about the 4th one
[-2,3] ivt k = 1
You just find the x-values such that f(x) = 1
also wanted to say thank you for the help with 1-3 because i had the answers written I just had no idea if I was right or not about them
im still a bit confused by that
So x=-1 satisfy the equation. There is also another value of x between 1 and 2 that satisfies the equation but exact value is not clear
i'm not sure how you got that answer thought thats what im trying to figure out
You just look at the graph
we have [-2,3] -2<=1<=3?
[-2, 3], -2 <= x <=3
[-2, 3] is the domain
im looking at the graph I see where -2 is i don't see where 3 is
sorry if I seem like so lost rn because i am
i'm very confused
when x= 3 y =0. It is the point (3, 0)
yes
So when x=-1 what does f(x) equal?
okay can i explain my thought process why im lost rn
the first 3 problems
where either on a line
or not
and i said yes or no
I see for #4
(-2,0) and (3,0)
not on a line together
K= 1
So the question is just asking for what values of c does, f(c) =1 for -2 <= c<=3
It is not about lines. It is about the graph
At what x values does the line y = 1 intersect or touch the graph f(x)?
at -1 and 1
-1 yes but not 1
You can see the hollow circle. That indicates the function is not defined at the point
yep

how do I do this?
substitute x = y^6
so you get lim_{y-> 1} (y^2 -1)/(y^3-1)
y^2 -1 = (y-1)(y+1) and (y^3 -1) = (y-1) (y^2 + 1 +y)
simplify
how do you go back to x tho
you just need the limit don't you
so it doesnt really matter going back to x
because if x-> 1, y^6-> 1 so y-> 1

what if it was going towards something else
so x -> 4
then y^6 -> 4 so y-> 4^{1/6}
Real
Wait actually
Direct substitution seems really difficult for this one
Have you heard of L’H? @rotund hawk
no?
What are “the first principles”?
using the f
Ohh the limit?
f'(x)= f(x+h)-f(x)/h
he doesnt want us to use it yet
i know how it goes
actually i knew
Ohh
i forgo
Hmm
Its ok I could show you L’H
Dont use it though
Think of it as a tool to help you verify your answers
L’H states then when dealing with limits and using direct substitution gives you an answer that is either 0/0 or inf+/inf+ (this is called indeterminate form btw)
Then finding the derivatives of the numerator and denominator and using direct substitution on that gives the same result
For example, the problem you gave us is good
The numerator is: cuberoot(x) - 1
cuberoot(x) can be written as x^1/3
And using the power rule, we get the derivative of it, which is 1/3*x^-2/3
Which after some calculation is 1/(3*x^2/3)
Now the denominator is a lot easier: squareroot(x) is x^1/2
The derivative is 1/(2*squareroot(x))
And we divide these 2, and use direct substitution
To find the the limit is 2/3
I’ll send you some photos to make it easy to visualize
yes pls
I understood getting the derivative
but i dont understad what you do next
No problem
why does this work tho
Basically the trick to this is to find the rate at which the numerator and the denominator approach 0
Or infinity
Im not the best explainer for this
And the proof is absolutely insane
Convoluted too
Yeah thats about it
I should remind you that since you havent learned L’H or even the power rule, you cant use this
Its just a tool for now

answers 2046
all i got was theres 2^10 max combinations but idk where to go from there
that's strings of length 10
what about .
or -
or ..
or .-
etc.
express it as a summation
2
2^2
3?
do you see the pattern
yes
idk how to use summation with the bot but i think i got it
this is essentially [\sum_{n=1}^{10} 2^n]
maximo
which has a well defined formula
but you could also just compute it by hand
wdym formula
[\sum_{n=0}^{k-1} r^n = \frac{1-r^k}{1-r}]
maximo
in our case, r = 2 and k = 10
so we'd get
[\sum_{n=0}^{10}2^n = \frac{1-2^{10}}{1-2} = 2^{10} - 1]
maximo
,calc 2^(10) - 1
Result:
1023
oh shoot what did i miss
yea this gives me 2046
thank you so much
yes but i have it off by 1
this should be the actual one
[\sum_{n=0}^{k-1} r^n = \frac{1-r^k}{1-r}]
maximo
ahhhhh
so r = 2 and k = 10
but if the top is 10
and its k-1
am i saying its 11?
why am i getting 2047
(1 - 2^11)/(1-2)
sorry
k should be 11 yes
because the sum starts at 0
but our original one started at 1
so we have to remove the n = 0 term
which is 2^0 = 1

For linear sequence this is the general formula for nth term
If we have a example like
20,17,14,11
And use the formula Tn=an+b
Can someone tell me what a,n and b are
this is the example in the book
I dont understand what is a,n and b
Look at the note on the side. It's similar to a line, y = mx + c
Let's take your data, 20, 17, 14, 11
Think about it as a line. What would it look like?
It's going down 3 points every next value, meaning the slope is ?
And it's starting at 20, meaning the c is ?
🥲i dont understand
You know what a line is, yes?
Yes
What do u mean what the c is
It's the equation on the right side
y = mx +c
what does the c stand for
what sort of tn is this
yo I never imagined an arithmetic progression as a line this is cool damn. It's obvious in hindsight
Ah im not sure
The one I know is tn = a +(n-1)d
Yeah but that's the nth term for AP in general, I think this topic is trying to relate it with a linear function which is better for inuitively understanding it
Same
It works tho
Yes i like using that one but my teacher uses this one and i dont think i should use that for the test
This has a constant change between each value
Yes
It's like a slope between them
Yea
Think about it like a line
Look at the points visualized. You see something going on between them?
What if we put a line in the middle of them
That's similar to what you're finding. It's basically telling to you find the "line"
Ok i understand
If you look closely, each value is _ points less than previous number @woven otter
20 becomes 17, 17 becomes 14
Their difference is 3 points right?
Yes the difference is 3
Visualization, I assume. Regardless, I think it's genius
Mhm
Now, think about it. It's going down by 3 points, meaning a should be -3 right?
Yep
-3x + b
Because each next value they're less 3 points
And what value do we start at? isn't it 20?
So what if the sequence is -3x + 20
(20 - 3x is better way to write it imo)
Does that make sense or
No it's actually pretty smart to relate it to a line. Any arithmetic progression can be represented by a line because the slope always remains constant which signifies that the difference between each subsequent term in an AP also remains constant. If you move on to more difficult stuff like 2, 7, 14, 23, where the difference BETWEEN the terms is in AP i.e. 7-2=4, 14=7=7, 23-14=9, etc. i.e. 4,7,9,... then you can represent the nth term for that sequence by increasing a degree and denoting it as tn=an^2+bn+c and so on and so forth
Why is brain not braining
You know they're reducing by 3 points
What's the first value that you start with
The formule is Tn=an+b
T1=20 becUse its the first twrm to the sequence
Yeah this is what I was talking about when I said difference of each term is in AP (quadratic), difference of difference of each term is in AP (cubic) and so on. But first try to understand why the basic AP is represented by ax+b
Ok, with the quadratic and cubic sequences... this doesn't seem cool anymore
😂i want the linear sequence only
It would work as a good visualization method, but this is certainly quite a different approach on teaching sequences
Let's try it with an easier linear sequence. Like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6...
The 0th term is a*0 + b
b=0 this means the intercept is 0
so at the x=0 y=0 as well so the line starts at the origin
Hoooooold up why is there x and y.y is b 0 and why is a*0 sjdksndbsksknsbdbdsjks
Can we skip the line thing
Usopper
Its the nth term
Yes
nth term for an AP, which happens to be a line
forget about my previous example for a sec
so each n denotes a point in the sequence right?
Ye
Usopper is cooking 👨🍳
Noice
wait a bit
ok I got confused for a moment there as well but now I understand
Oki
Note that the x co-ordinates starting from 1 denote n
Yes
for 1st term i.e. n=1 the first red dot will be the number you get for a particular line
each sequence can be denoted by a unique line
for n=2 you will get the second dot
Mhm
see that the difference between them is constant because the slope remains constant
The curvature always remains straight, there is no change
it's linear
Ohhh ok
now let's use your initial example
20,17,14,11?
This one
Yes
Oki
I pasted it again so that it will be easier to reference
Ok
What abt the a and b .in the equation its tn=an+b
What happened to the n near the a for t1 and t2
yeah getting there
Oki
In this example, not that the sequence is increasing, it's probably something like 3, 5, 7, ...
In your example the sequence is decreasing
Yea
(t_n=an+b) is nothing but (y=ax+b) which is clear from the graph
Usopper
Mhm
So to find the first term of sequence you just put x i.e. n=1. y=a+b. It's already given to you that it is 20
(a+b=20)
Usopper
Mhm
Usopper
Simultaneous?
yes
Ah oki waiy
Still waiting lol
No worries lol
((2a+b)-(a+b)=2a+b-a-b)
Usopper
You wrote (2a+b-a+b)
Usopper
Correct
Ohh oki
So tn=-3n+23?
Yes
Ohhhhh
Note that the graph is not required, it's just to understand why you use t_n=an+b and then plug values to figure it out
and not just something else like t_n=an+bn or t_n=an^3+b
For any arithmetic sequence you just need to make an equation from the first and second term (or any two distinct terms really) and then solve
find a, b you're done
hope you get it now

How exactly do you define unit vectors for $\theta$ and $\varphi$ in cylinderical and spherical coordinates?
it seems kind of cursed but i dont see how it is done
Link to Quantum Playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl0eQOWl7mnWPTQF7lgLWZmb5obvOowVw
I introduce coordinate systems in 2 dimensions, which will be used in subsequent classical and quantum mechanics videos in the playlist above.
#PolarCoordinates
#UnitVectors
#KonstantinLakic
oh okay wait this seems kind of related
probably easier to start there
oh wait wdym
NEON
yes
and if the azimuth was an axial vector
then by the right hand curl rule
or whatever
it would also point along $\hat k$
NEON
so what we havw is not that then
apparently like the theta is the unit vector tangential to the cylinder
me neither
I went with the axial assumption cuz angular displacement and it deirvatives are axial vectors
okay if its tangential to r then obviously it is orthogonal to r
so thats that
how tf is it orthogonal to z tho 
oh ic yeah fair enough
okay i mean i guess this makes sense
kinda weird
but makes sense
ok until another time

i dont see why you just cant use regular unit vectors
if the end result is the same
i mean i guess its important for actually defining the coordinates?
Perchance.

altho its kinda weird in the sense that $\vc*\theta$ is going to be changing direction
like everytime
Yes it's weird it's like a local coordinate system, maybe people sometimes use the phrase "frame"
yoo thanks for the spherical corods hook up
Generalisation here
Also note θφ are flipped here, blame physicists
Whichever is in your text
i remember snow saying if u switch them it becomes like a left handed coordinate system
or something
probably misinterperting 
Eh maybe idk
I just prefer the other one than what I posted
"Extends" polar coords
It's not overly fun
its more so i cant get it to my brain ill be honest 
well i think i get it now
but its just more so
i cant remember the formulae for like the conversions
Just have to look at a lot of pictures
No one remembers those unless you use them lmao
too true
oh actually sigma can i ask u like a few questions regarding defining surfaces
ok lemme reopen this if u say yes
I have like 10 mins before teaching sure
✅
so uh in their derivation of like the formula for the surface area of an implicitly defined surface
why is their parameterisation like this
its super weird

use 25 = 5^2 and get a quadratic equation in 5^t
,, a^{m+n} = a^m\2a^n
5^(t-1) = 5^t * 5^(-1)

How would u solve this other than using a system of equations?
What can you say about the quadrilateral LMNP? What features does it have?
@native flume Has your question been resolved?
It’s a parallelogram that has 360 degrees
The opposite sides are equal
Yeah that’s all I know
It is a parallelogram. Yes.
If it is a parellologram, what else does that say about the opposite sides?
Oh it would be that opposite angles are equal so x = y
Which would mean that 3a-7 = 4a+6

Hi, im having problems figuring out why the the numerators can be disregarded in the eqn when finding x.
-1/16 = -1/x^(4/3)
show how you got x
-1/16 = -1/x^(4/3)
16 = x^(4/3)
4root(16) = 4root [x^(4/3)]
2^3 = (x^1/3)^3
8 = x
I think it would have been fine to take a picture
$-\frac{1}{16} = -\frac{1}{x^{\frac{4}{3}}} \
16 = x^{\frac{4}{3}} \
\sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{x^{\frac{4}{3}}}$
how do i go on the next line
wdym
with the bot
dqvidutzul
yes
do you need this answer checked?
it should be right but I was confused about the numerators
seems fine to me
do you know why the numerators can just be taken out from the equation?
I think I might have missed it entirely
cross multiplying
🤦♂️
ok thanks for the help
you flipped the fractions on the first lines
and multiplied by -1 to get rid of the minus

you can also think of it as...well if the numerators are equal then the fractions are only gonna be equal if the denominators are also equal
5/2 = 5/x is only gonna work for x = 2

Hey, I just wanna make sure I'm doing this right, it seems wrong because usually the graph isn't put in a certain quadrant if the answer is in a different quadrant 😭
This is rotations with a non-origin center
The points in the column on the left is for the distance from the point and the right set of points are after they're put in the counterclockwise form
We don't have to graph these, but I've just been graphing the point and the prime figure because it's easier
Let me know if the image is blurry

@faint trail your technique for rotations by 90 degrees would be correct if you were rotating around the origin (0, 0). But the problem specifies that you are intended to rotate around (4, 1)
So what you need to do is map (4, 1) to the origin, do the rotation, and then map the origin to (4, 1).
Original point: (x, y)
Map (4, 1) to origin: (x-4, y-1)
Perform rotation: (1-y, x-4)
Map origin to (4, 1): (1-y+4, x-4+1)
Simplify: (5-y, x-3)

$[(X^T - B)A]^T = 3(X-B^T)$
Merineth
If you know the properties of transpose, then it's easy to solve.
I think so, we are given a formula for the properties of transpose
Is that what you mean?
$[(X^T - B)A]^T = 3(X-B^T) \
[AX^T -AB]^T = 3X-B^T$
Merineth
$[(X^T - B)A]^T = 3(X-B^T) \\
[AX^T -AB]^T = 3X-B^T$
```Compilation error:```! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>

l.50 [AX^T -AB]
^T = 3X-B^T$
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)```

hello i badly need help in a student organization there are 4 positions in the executive committee; president secretary vice president and treasurer. these officers will be chosen from among 12 finalists who were elected by the members at large. in how many ways can the positions be filled up if one finalist will only serve in the executive committee if he is chosen president?

What it mean J/I ?
J/I is the image of J by the quotient map
@vale oriole Has your question been resolved?
It is extension of J ?
yes
if you have $\pi_I:R\to R/I$ and $\overline{\pi}_J:R/I\to R/J$, prove that $Ker(\overline{\pi}_J) = \pi_I(J)$
rafilou2003
Of course $\pi_I(J) = J/I$
rafilou2003
and then you'll be done
It is equivalent to that preimage of Kernel is J ?
if you prove that preimage of kernel by pi_I is J then you're done yes
because pi_I is surjective
For sujective maps image of preimage is identity?
For $f:X\to Y$ surjective then $f(f^{-1}(A)) = A$
rafilou2003
Okay
so indeed try to prove that $\pi_I^{-1}(Ker(\overline{\pi}_J)) = J$
rafilou2003
These two sets are the kernel of πJ ?
And thats why they are equal?
Because πJ = overline πJ(πI)
rafilou2003
yep
Thats it?
$\pi_I^{-1}(Ker(\overline{\pi}_J)) = Ker(\overline{\pi}_J\circ \pi_I) = Ker(\pi_J) = J$
rafilou2003
that's it
Oooo there is a beautiful relation
With kernel preimage and composition

I know I have to perform a sub
Desmos gives 2
Don't you get -1=1 then?
positive real solutions
still 2?
3 soln, my bad
i meant 0 solutions
yeah 2 solutions
Oh wait didn't read the question properly 😅
it looks like there's 2 positive solutions
oh, +ve
ok, so do I do this via a sub
or a rough sketch
I mean the solns are neat, so I could probably sub smal values of x, but that wouldn't be very rigourous IMO
might be an IVT sorta thing
for starters
yeah, but I just know the expansions for standard functions
if you don't know IVT, do dammit

undergrad math major + not knowing IVT are basically incompatibly

Ok, how would I apply IVT here?
let f(x)=x^2-x-1 and g(x)=2^x-log_2(x^2+2x), then define g(x)-f(x) or smth. Plug in values for f(x)-g(x), until you reach the case where it changes sign from positive to negative or negative to positive, then you can basically use some derivative/always decreasing/always increasing argument
hmm, l think about this, thanks
do close this now, or do I leave it open for Azram?
because I claimed it first, but it's not obvious
azram already has a channel open
where?
Closed by @ivory sorrel
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
well, actually, it might be easier to just say way the 2 zeros are(they're nice numbers), then basically show past those the function f(x)-g(x) is always increasing/always decreasing for positive reals
, IVT seems to be a way more intuitive way of doing it though. Thanks again!
What moosey said here guarantees that there will be no other solutions other than the 2 you can find via guesswork for x>0
So it's more correct
You cannot guarantee just by the IVT that there are only 2 solutions for x>0
why not though?
let me think, don't answer that please
that was rhetorical
hmm, so after applying IVT
if I don't prove it's monotonic
I wouldn't have proved that they aren't more solns/
Yep, you would've just proved that there is a solution between x=whatever and x=whatever else

How they did this
they factored the stuff in the square root in the denominator
(1 - a^2) = (1-a) * (1+a)

im trying to find a parameterisation for the cap cut by $z=\3{x^2+y^2}$ for [
x^2+y^2+z^2=9
]
but i dont know how to go about doing this
would appreciate some guidance
find the intersection
so z^2 + z^2 = 9 -> 2z^2 = 9 -> z^2 = 9/2 -> z = \pm 3/sqrt(2)
well the cone is defined only for positive values of z so we can drop the negative of that
ok cool z = 3/sqrt(2)
so where do i go from here
find the intersection in terms of x & y
so then you can parameterize as a circle
i need to include the interior of this circle right
ok wait this might be easier if i just convert all of this to spherical
the "cap" of the sphere r^2 = 9 is just the shell. don't know why you'd include the interior
or is cap different for you
i imagined it to be like
then it'd be r^2 <= 9
you know the hat
of the sphere
because the question does say cap as well
but nonetheless
we have $\rho^2 = 9$ bounded by $\phi = \4\pi4$
if i did the conversion correctly
so uh we just restrict phi between 0 and pi/4
and then thats the standard equation of a sphere
that is yoru cap in spherical
psi 
yes psi )
rebel joanna
her psi is probably pi/2 - theta for you
in my interpretation : phi is angle on OXY, and psi is in 3d angle
ro is in 3d distance
oh ok i see
is the parametrization you're looking for a hollow sphere or are you parameterizing the interior as well?
interior yeah, i just verified with my book's solution
phi is not fixed to pi/4
ok i guess thats it
ill do another exercise on my own tho just to see if i actually got the idea one sec (ill keep this open)
ok so
yeah its what the question intended it to be
a wide ice cream 
but anyhow
ahah es
i get the following:
[2\textwidth][
\vj\rho(\theta, \phi) = \33\6\sin\phi\6\cos\theta\vc*\imath + \33\6\sin\phi\6\sin\theta\vc*\jmath + \33\6\cos\phi \vc*k \q -\4\pi3 <\theta < \4\pi3, ; 0 < \phi <\pi
]
would that be correct
