sinh and cosh?
you know eulers identity/formula
no
oh well
we have not gone over that
uh i dont really see how ur supposed to do this then
it's just the definitions
i guess
cosh = 1/2(e^x + e^-x)
ans sinh = 1/2(e^x - e^-x)
i got no clue what all of that means
but i was able to finish the problems thanks

what is injective and surjective
do you need the specific definition or just an idea
A function f: X -> Y is injective if for all f(x) in Y, f(a) = f(b) implies a = b
Surjective if for all y = f(x) in Y there exists some a in X such that f(a) = y
is your function sqrt(x)? or sqrt (64)?
What do you think
they can be both???
you can think of injective as passing the horizontal line test and surjective as reaching every y value
yes when it’s surjective and injective it’s called bijective
so x^2 is only injective?
f(2) = f(-2) so it’s not injective
oh I see
also we don’t reach any of the negative numbers when you aren’t using complex numbers
so it’s neither
mhm
so
if a function has more than 1 input with the same output it is not injective
yes
and if a function can't output every value then it is surjective?
yes

How would I go about this. Don't know where to start
so for c_0 I would just plug -1 in for x in x^3?

hey I need to leave so please reply if you want me to explain
Fellow JEE aspirant, Hello!!
hi
This year I believe I will easily get AIR 5
How can I jest? My ability is inherent.
Yes they are
Which topic is this actually related to?
Inequality in jee
So
if this is t
t+1/t=14
yes exactly
Opps
Rationalization works for square only?
equate the powers and you'll get the answer
what?
yeah
you can rationalise terms which looks like conjugates in complex numbers
Idk honestly
yes

so i need help figuring out which type of functions f(x) and g(x) are
is f(x) a cubic polynomial function or cubic function
and is g(x) a logarithmic function?
uhh i think it is i just saw someone say cubic poly online and another say cubic
it has to be the same right
F(x) is a polynomial of degree 3
G(x) is a logarithmic function
thank you for this
Do you want B too?
please if u can
im working on that now and i know ill need help
You find the value for x in f(x) that do not exist but for polynomial is exist for all real number so f(x) domain is all real numbers.
G(x) is also defined for all positive real numbers except 0. Since log (0) does not exist. G(x) is all real number > 0
okay so is this correct
also for this how do i explain g(x) is a logarithmic function
Yes.
so how would i explain it
like g(x) is a logarithmic function because..
@robust ocean
<@&286206848099549185>
If has log in it
It's a logarithmic function if it is
So basically
If it's logarithmic it's a logarithmic function
would i even have to explain why its a logarithmic function
i explained the last one thats why
It's logarithmic because is has a logarithmic term
okay okay
is that all i would write about that
Idk

Hello, can anyone help explain how i can answer this
if you can use a calculator
sure
uhm
or not... 😭
Isn't the formula= A/sina=B=sinb
the side on top
the degree in the bottom
and you don't need the 59 (which is wrong)
it's 180-39-20
oh
a triangle is always 180 degrees together
gotcha
im not sure :,))
try it
im just learning about this
Ah I thought you maybe had a variant
then I'm sure
It's A/sin(a)=B/sin(b)
And to decide what the couple A,a is, you need to choose the opposite side of the angle
noo
it's sin(20°)
never ever scratch it like that
you have to calculate the sin of 20° on your calculator
Wait
I'll indicate everything
second
o
Then with the calculator you see
Sin(20°)=0,3420.....
Sin(30°)=1/2 or 0,5
And then it's just filling it in and letting the calculator do the rest of the work
So X=29,2380
I would do the calculation 20/sin(20°) in your calculator because it has a lot of decimals
okok lemme read what you just said
what do you mean by this?
oh no wonder
i need to set my calculator to uhh
degrees?
The equation to solve x
Yes
Or you could convert the degrees to radials 😅
But I'd indeed set it on degrees
yes
yes
how do i fill it in or what do you mean?
You need to add the °
Just calculate it
No calculate it by doing the equation I sent you -> 2/sin(20°)=x/sin(39°)
ohh
I was wrong btw I thought the question said
30 degrees, it's 39
Now it's correvt
Ct
Ah nice yea normally now you should be able to calculate it
I do this by hand?
With your calculator ofc
2/0,34202
And then multiply it by sin(39°)
And that's your x
A simple equation
No the equal sign is the equation in your formula
Yes!
yaaaaaaaaay
ok i kinda know 😎
2.517?
YOO
wait i understand now
big brain moment
wait wait
lemme show yu
here is a similar question
here is my work
i put that in the cal
it said 64.387 which was right
🥳
i did a similar question
Yes I see
Yw!
this is so coolm i love math

Can someone well versed in discrete math tell me why this is a time complexity of N and not N^2 ?
Or tell me why the summations lead to N summations not not N^2?
You have to notice one thing for that
Do you agree that a step is equivalent to k increasing of 1 ?
Like induction?
What do you mean ?
Nvm forget what i said
So the outer loop runs from 1 -> N
and inner loop goes from k < 9i
Yes
I guess a better question is how do you write a summation for a while loop
Ohh
You don’t have to here
Because to evaluate the complexity here
Pls elaborate
k is never reset to 1 it’s just incremented
Correct
You just have to count the number of step in your algorithm right ?
no im supposed to find the theta notation of the overall algorithm
For example if there were n step then it would have a complexity of n
Yea but doesnt the inner loop go to 9i ? In other words it stops when k = 9i - 1
Outer loop sums from 1 to N
Yes but what is the maximum value of k at the end of the algorithm?
Uhhhh i have no idea
Ok im following
Right im following
So now that we got that
You have to understand that in order to calculate any complexity of an algorithm, you have to count the number of thing your algorithm do. For example here if does k =k + 1 and x=x^2
Wait
So we ignore the outer summation since the inner loop runs to 9i?
So in a way they get tied together
At first tell me if you understand that
Because if you do then it will be way easier
I think i get it
Okay good
Forget about wanting to sum thing up to get the complexity
It’s very effective sometimes
But here there is a more basic method
And informaticien are lazy people, so if a basic solution work, they will do the basic one not the hard one
Okay tell me the basic method because I cant wrap my head around it without writing up summations
😭
Do you agree that the number of thing the algorithm do is equal to the value of k at the end of the algorithm?
(If we forget about the x=x^2)
Correct
Because if we were resetting it, we would have to sum the value of k every time we would do again the while loop
But we are not
So : complexity = number of thing the algorithm do = k at the end
Right?
So basically; complexity: n = k ?
because the number of things the algorithm does is 9i
well at the end k=9n not n
ohhhhh
But for a complexity multiplying by a constant doesn’t affect the complexity
So having a complexity of n or of 9n is the same
Yes
then we would have to do a summation
Exactly
Then it would be n^2 complexity
Yes
Because you are counting thing
But at each end of the loop you are saying “okay I did 9i thing, now I reset to 0 so here keep 9i for now on” and at the end you then have to sum all the 9i thing you did for i between 1 and n
And this is for resetting K right
Yes
Yes
wowz
Absolutely
You’re welcome

how do i find the deriviative of $y=2\cdot \cos x$
guy
i know the cos will turn into -sin x
so i know it'll be $2 * -\sin x$ but i'm not sure what to do with the 2
guy
If u use product rule it'll just become -2sinx
$\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) \ y' = (0)(\cos x) + (2)(-\sin x)$

Can someone please help me figure out what the 11th term of this geometric sequence is??
just divide the second term with first
you will get -5x^3
which is d
now what is general formula for nth term
an=ar^(n-1)
a11=a(-5x^3)^10
what is a is first term
a11= -3x^2(-5x^3)^10
simplfy it and get your answer
good

for part b), I've been able to show that T*T and TT* have the same non-zero eigenvalues, but not that these have the same multiplicities
any suggestions on how I should do that?
@pseudo sonnet Has your question been resolved?
@pseudo sonnet Has your question been resolved?
If you have solved for the non-zero eigenvalues, then you should have already solved for the same multiplicities. If you want to share your proof that can make it a bit more clear.
sure!
Let v be an eigenvector of T*T corresponding to eigenvalue λ =/= 0. Then T*Tv = λv => TT*T = λTv => TT*w = λw, where w = Tv
this shows that Spec(T*T) is a subset of Spec(TT*)
we can basically reverse this proof to show that Spec(TT*) is a subset of Spec(T*T)
thus the two are equal, and T*T has the same non-zero eigenvalues as TT*
...in retrospect, I should have said Spec(T*T) \ {0} or smth, but that's besides the point
If you are talking about the spectrums being equal, then that should give you the multiplicities for free.
Can you give me your class's definition of Spec?
give me a second...
Np.
it's just the set of eigenvalues
I guess that's fine, usually Spec is defined over the characteristic polynomial which gives you the multiplicity.
In that case, just do this argument but for any eigenvalue with multiplicity.
what do you mean?
If there exist eigenvalue of T*T with some multiplicity, then you can repeat this argument with a different eigenvector but with the same eigenvalue.
I see, that makes sense
well, in that case
there's nothing more to do ig
because the argument I presented earlier should work for any eigenvector corresponding to λ I think
is that right?
actually yeah it has to be I think
okay, sounds good to me
thanks for the help

hey can someone help me with these just do all of them
okay what do u think is the answer of a
u can do this
factorize it
you can get rid of a common x
0 = -2x(x^2 - 8)
good
now what possible solutions do u get
if km=0, either k=0 or m=0 or both are 0
so use that
to find possible solutions
but im not sure how to do the first one
-2x = 0
x=0
what multiplied by a number gives 0
2sqrt2 for the other one
so x = 0 and x = +- 2sqrt2
yes
for b, u get (x-1)^3 = 16
yeah
3
no
huh
cube root of 16 is not a rational number
cube root of 16 is 2 right
no
2 x 2 x 2 = 8
express it in terms of cube root of 16
yes

Hello
well try not to use AI on your math assignments lol
It's not reliable and doesn't help you in any shape/form
anyway
can u simplify that?
@mossy holly
Idk maybe
?
@regal charm
Umm I don't know
?
What could it be possibly be -2y
u just did the exact same thing for this:
so simplifying this should be trivial cuz u just did it
Huh?
Yes, but don't we have to multiply them
there is no multiplication implied here or anywhere
your new matrix is also the same size
2x2
Oh ok ty
so the first element would be the first element of the first matrix + first element of the second matrix
Yeah I know that
first element of the first matrix = -3
second element... = 4
-3 + 4 = -1
okay then do it
Hmn ok
so what's the result?
Isn't 6+-2 = 4
6 + -2y
not 6 + -2
if y was 100, you'd have 6 + -2(100) = 6 - 200 which is clearly not 4
Oh, so what would it be
it's quite literally this lol
So it will be 6-2y
6 - 2y
Ok
Huh
Ok
But how does 6-2x becomes 2
what
..
Oh ok I'm dumv
now equate each element with its corresponding element
since these matrix are equal -> every one of their elements have to be equal too
It's -2 not -2x
the blues match already cuz 1 = 1
the greens match also cuz 7 = 7
you want the yellowish orange stuffs to match
so you want 6 - 2y = 2
and you want the reds to match so you also want 4 - 3x = -2x
solve for the values of y and x that allow for the yellowish orange stuff and the red elements to match
OPPS ☠️
yes u can make the changes yourself
Ok
?????
u have literally not done what i told you to do tbh
solve for y
Ok so wouldn't we use Cramer's rule or inversion method 💀
Lol why are we studying that in book
i think you're just too invested in all these formulas and stuff
that u can't see the big picture
this is addition
Yea
no multiplication here so you don't use either
How
well learn the basic stuffs like adding and everything
idk how
but yeah
and also don't just start bashing formulas for every question u see
at least try to understand what the formula does (at the very least)
Ok
anyway are we done? have u found the x and y value
Yes
what is it?
2
and is that how you'd write your answer?
anyway yeah it's correct
make explicit what u mean
x = y = 2 allows for the matrix to be equal
anyway yeah
i'm sleepy
😭
u can ask anyway someone else will help
Huh
Noo you are good at explaining
Btw what time is it for you
For me its 1:03 PM
BD : DC = AB : AC
you know AB, AC, BD
Man sorry I was busy
do you know the length of line AC?

ha!
nah it was hard for me to explain. nvm you may have the channel
The final line says those two ratios are the same
meaning that if you do it with ratio algebra instead, you get two fractions that cancel out m a little (assuming we sub in the actual values)
$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{8}{3}$
Book
since scaling those lengths all by the same value m just makes a similar triangle, m doesn't acually matter at all
solving that above means x is 16
If you didn't see how t oget that equation above, recall that that ratio we see can be equivalently written (before subbing) as: $\frac{\bar{DC}}{\bar{AB}}=\frac{\bar{AC}}{\bar{BD}}$

LIttle lost on how he got a pi-2 - a = pi/4
,tex $ 2(\frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha) = \frac{\pi}{2} $
$ \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4} $
$ \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4} = \alpha $
$ \frac{2\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{4} = \alpha $
$ \alpha = \frac{\pi}{4} $
math X meth ✓
I meant how he found r1 to be more specific
can you translate to english?
from what i can make out, r1 = i1 because angle of incidence = angle of reflection
also observe the normal to the inclined mirror
since it is perpendicular by definition, $i_{1} + \alpha = \frac{\pi}{2}$

@simple tartan Has your question been resolved?
@simple tartan Has your question been resolved?
from the equation given
g(x) = integral of f(x)
so the first derivative g'(x) = f(x)
so, the fifth derivative will be g'''''(x) = f''''(x)
But wouldnt u get 0?
i think so
i think it has to do with Taylor series since the rest of question is about it
or the graph shown, cuz it would be the integral of the fifth derivative of f
Why would you do it from -.5 when it's asking for g^5(0)?
g^5(0), here zero is the end position of the integral
u still didnt specifiy the start
but then if u take the derivative, if we say integral of f(x) is F(x)
then g(x) = F(x) - F(0)
and F(0) is constant

I just need to know how they got .6645
you'd find the z-scores with 0.29 and 0.0203 of 0.25 and 0.3
then you subtract these 2
or just use a normal distribution calculator online and enter everything

is there an easy way to find the partial sums in b without writing out 100 terms
No calculator allowed?
calculator allowed im pretty sure
Im not sure how to use that option
do you have something like a cas calculator
I dont have any physical ones. Is there one online I can use?
maybe wolfram alpha
I tried to use wolfram alpha and it didnt provide me a value, just another function
what is that function ?
yeah, I guess ill start writing then
maybe I could get some help with part c and d of the question?
@oblique ivy Has your question been resolved?
do you remember what the alternating series truncation error says?
I do not
it’s basically says that the error for the sum of the first n terms of the sequence is less than the absolute value of the next term
essentially $error<\abs{a_{n+1}}$
y0shi
so for problem c am I trying to find a value?
Because I know for d i am but the wording of c is what's throwing me off
honestly the wording is kinda weird
cuz i’m not sure if it wants a bound for what the error of partial sums in part b is or something else
y0shi
that's what I was wondering. Does it just want me to state what a_n+1 is?
i think it just wants the definition of the error, like what i wrote up here
and maybe it wants you to plug n+1 into our sequence formula as well
Is it asking me to prove that a_n+1 is < or equal to a_n?
and then get it ready for part d?
y0shi
and then just use that for d?
does the 4 outside the summation play a role in this?
would I multiply the error by 4
yeah
set it equal
so essentially we can ignore that (-1)^n bit since the error is the absolute value
so we would just have to do $$\frac{1}{2n+1}=0.01$$
y0shi
well n has to be a positive integer
so s_50
yeah
ok
yeah use that
and multiply by 4
well S_50 shouldve been multiplied by the 4 already
yeah i just didnt do it yet on my paper. Didnt clarify thats my bad
y0shi
should be this instead
so 399/2 which is 200 rounded up
yep
if s_200 is super long do I have to write the whole thing out?
or can I round after like 5 or 6
probably round it id say
go ahead
What is c asking me for
compare your partial sums for n=5, 10, and 20
to the actual digits of pi
and see how many decimal places it got right
oh thats it?
yeah
I thought it was harder than that
ok
And one more, what does this question mean in b when it says compare from a calculating utility
it just wants you to compare it to the value of pi on a calculator
to see how many digits off it is?
yeah
so the same thing as c in the last one?
yep basically
and when it asks to add the first two terms does it mean to actually do addition?
yw!

It’s something to do with like ratio thing
I get the triangle just not the pallalelagram

Hi I’m very confused
huh
Do you know the quadratic formula?
Ye
