is it possible for a function like this:
1 / (ln(x) + ln(5x^3))
yeah
so I can basically place the limit notation inside each ln function and take the limit as I want?
mhm, as long as you are dealing with continuous functions
be careful though
you have to learn about indeterminate forms
$\infty - \infty$ is undefined
southlander!
if you had a minus not a plus you couldn't bring the limit inside
and if I get an inifinity - infinity when I place it inside the limit function?
say:
f(x) = x^3/x - ln(x^2)/log4(5x^2)
log4?
also isn't x^3 / x = x^2
4^power = 5x^2
oh log base 4
you have to make sure x is not 0
so this?
also you are not saying what x approaches
you need that to properly define a limit
f(x) = (x^3/x) - ( ln(x^2)/log4(5x^2) )
oh okay
why not just write x^2 then
anyways
also what is x approaching in this limit?
after some algebraic manipulation the function equals $x^2 - \frac{\ln(4) \ln(x^2)}{\ln(x^2) + 5}$
southlander!
so if we let $u = \ln(x^2)$, as $x \to \infty, u \to \infty$ as well
southlander!
so we have $\lim_{x \to \infty} x^2$ minus $\lim_{u \to \infty} \frac{\ln(4) u}{u + 5}$
$\lim_{x \to \infty} x^2 - \ln 4 = \infty$
southlander!
so x^2 - ln 4 would be our curved asymptote actually
no worries!
oh
I have another question about function:
when I have some f(x)
and then I have:
- g'(x) = 1/f(x)
or - g'(x) = f(x) + x
And I'm asked to find the convexities and concavities
How do you suggest to find them?
oh concave is when $g''(x) < 0$ and convex is when $g''(x) > 0$
southlander!
so you just need to diferentiate the right hand side once
and solve the inequality
so basically what I need to do is just take the derivative of f(x)?
can I use the maximum and minimum points I found earlier for f(x)?
well, take the derivative of 1/f(x) and f(x) + x
wait you want to find the convexities and concavities of g(x) right
practice and you can differentiate quickly and correctly
so I need to redifferentiate g(x)?
I can't use the datums I found earlier?
x-y axis points, minimum maximum, concavities and convexities
exactly
for f(x)
cause convexity and concavity is talking about the 2nd derivative, not the 1st derivative
well you can actually reuse it for f(x) + x
cause $\frac{d}{dx} (f(x) + x) = f'(x) + 1$
southlander!
but not $\frac{1}{f(x)}$
southlander!
but g'(x) takes f(x) as the derivative
Maybe I can do (f(x))^-1?
or it's false to do that
wait the x-coordinate of the turning points will be the same
for 1/f(x) as well
sorry I'm busy answering other people
once your question is resolved could you please just close this channel and open a new one?

About the table, that part with the y = ()()(), i kinda forgot how to get the -+-+ on that part, can anyone help?
Aswell as the below/above thing
wavy curve?
I somehow still dont get it lmao like, why. It negative or positive? Also what decides the negative/positive on each of the top ones anyways
U arrange in numerical order
From most negative to most positive on the number line
Then do this
I think
What the term becomes after u plug in the test value
Like after plugging 0 in x+2 = 0+2 =2
And so is positive
I think this is to determine the sign of the overall output

I need help with proof
This is what ive done
Is this proof logic and working?? i have no idea how to prove it
am i completely wrong or is it nice..?
@proven venture Has your question been resolved?
This part is confusing:
"By the definition of preimage, if f(x) in f(A) it follows that x_1 is in A and x_2 is in A"
what's the relation between x and x_1 and x_2?
it just feels like you're trying to say too much in that one sentence. maybe split it up into smaller steps.
and also, if you want to show f^{-1}(f(A)) = A, then you should take a single element in the LHS and show that it's in the RHS, and vice versa
that's true, it's a good structure for the proof
What i meant by that is i know that f(x) ∈ f(A), then i used injective definition that f(x_1) ∈ f(A)=f(x_2) ∈ f(A) so x_1 ∈ A = x_2 ∈ A
Oh alright
so i choose like {x_1} = f^{-1}(f(A)) ?
you could start by choosing $x_1 \in f^{-1}(f(A))$ (you don't neccesarily have that $f^{-1}(f(A))$ contains just one element)
Alright i try to do this way
LayneTheAndroid
Sure, that's a good first step. What next? Your (current) goal is to show x_1 is in A
So i f i know that f(x) ∈ f(A) then can i say that there is a ∈ A so that f(x) = f(a)?
yes
yes because of the injectivity assumption
You've shown that, assuming f is injective you have, $f^{-1}(f(A))\subseteq{}A$.
Oh thank you
you now need to show the other inclusion too
LayneTheAndroid
yes
you're on the right tracks, just see where it leads
So if i know that f(x_2) ∈ f(A) then i know that x_2 ∈ f^-1(f(A) )on preimage definition?
Or is it too big step ahead
yes, this inclusion is more straightforwad than the previous (you don't even need the injectivity)
But i have to show that the function is injective then f^-1(f(A) = A applies
So is it correct if i use injective only in one way proof? and not in the other inclusion?
yes, of course. if the one inclusion doesn't need injectivity it doesn't mean it's untrue if you do have it
that's like me asking "prove that if x>2 then x^2>0"
it's true even if x isn't 2
Oh alright
but crucially you did need injectivity for part of the proof
But do i have to show other way implication also?
As i understand ive done 1 way implication at the moment?
Yes, that's true
Altogether, you've shown "Assuming injectivity you have $A=f^{-1}(f(A)))$. Now you need show the other implication because it says "if and only if"
LayneTheAndroid
Alright
So now i have to show that function is injective
So i write down injective definition as x1,x2 in X x_1 != x_2 so f(x_1) != f(x_2)
So now i choose random {x_1} = A ?
and f(A) = f({x_1}) and using preimage definition then f^-1(A)= f^-1(f({x_1})
seems good so far
and from assumption i know that f^-1(f(A)) = A so my thing will = x_1
Yes my bad
And now using injective definition
f({x_1})=f({x_2}) then {x_2 }is in f^-1(f({x_1})
So that means f^-1(f({x_1}) contains only one set and that is {x_1} so the function is injective?
yes! essentially because you've shown {x_2} \subseteq {x_1} which is only possible if x_2 = x_1
So i have proven the whole exercise now...?
what do you think?
I think ive done the proof 🙂
no worries
it's a bit tricky but it basically comes down to unpacking the definitions carefully
I see
Thank you very much once again! I hope you are having a wonderful day/night!

sorry if this is a dumb question
i know the answer is on the page
but how did they answer question D?
how did they know to multiply <a,b> with the gradient vector
That is sort of how you find the directional derivative
good point
that's the definition of the directional derivative. $D_uf=\Nabla f \cdot a$
ohh
fish
that's the definition of the directional derivative. $D_uf=\Nabla f \cdot a$
```Compilation error:```! Undefined control sequence.
l.49 ...f the directional derivative. $D_uf=\Nabla
f \cdot a$
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

multiply the function with a vector?

what does the first part of the answer mean?
when it says duf(0,0)= <a,b>dotgrad<1,1>

How do I proof 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏(part a)
Uhm can you explain how you got that ?
The x^2
Thank you
Yeah
Dunno I don’t really remember 🤷♀️
I wouldn’t be here if I had perfect memory 😞😞
But okay that makes sense
uh
Not really
Oh okay
I think I’m cooked why’d they put in this class 😞
I’ve never proofed anything before to be honest
Yeah…. Might need to relearn that 😶

Confused on how this becomes x. Wouldn't it be 2-x
no
1 - (1-x) = 1 + (x-1) = x
no
sqrt((x-1)^2) is |(x-1)|
the bars mean the absolute value of (x-1)
and |(x-1)| = 1-x when 0 < x < 1
look up absolute value
Why are the signs flipping instead of both becoming positive
look up absolute value
I did which is why I don't understand why x is becoming negative if x<=1
so
if x - 1 < 0
then |x - 1| = -( x - 1) = 1 - x
because if x < 0
then |x| = -x
the key part is: -(x - 1) = 1 - x
if you're unclear on why that's true, then you're kinda screwed
Ah I see. The minus sign is being applied because x-1 itself is either 0 or a negative number
so it has to be -(x-1)

what are C and D looking for? (P.S. ik that A is -1.5)
in C, it's asking about the behavior of the function on the x-axis. What is true of points on the x-axis?
um.. well it is negative in the first and third quadrants and positive on the second and fourth
not exactly what i'm looking for
what is the set of points that lies on the x-axis?
oh you mean at y=0?
they all have a y-value of 0, yes
indeed
oh
I get it, so whats the behavior when one of the axis is set to 0
thats what the question is asking?
Thank You!

Why is sin, cos, tan important if we can just measure the angles with protractor and sides with a ruler?
How?
well if you want to measure how far away you are from a thing that's really far away
if you just make really precise measurements of what direction it's in, from two different points, and the distance between those points
you can calculate from that how far away the thing is, because essentially what you've measured is two angles of a big triangle and the length of the side between them
yes
is it possible to put 2 inside the root?
well if you mean sqrt(10) then that's a different number, 2*sqrt(5) is around 4.46 and sqrt(10) is around 3.16
but sqrt(4*5) is the same as 2*sqrt(5)
But if we want to put 2 inside, we need to square it 2^2?
yes
Then it’s not mathing?
2 sqrt 5 ≠ sqrt 4*5
How’s that not equal 4.46?
Why can’t we just do 2 * sqrt 5?
Why does it need to be close to the root?
Why does it need to look like if it’s a single number
It doesn't since it's not in decimal base, the reason why it doesn't use * is because it just takes longer to write... Well actually it's really just that people wrote it like that and everyone went along with it
For example in algebra if you've done it, you write "2x" not "2*x"
I was confused at first cause
1+7(9+3)
I had no idea you have to multiply 7 with 12!!!
There was no multiplication sign
Yeah it's really just a "language" there's really no reason for it, it just exists

please help
looks like a calculator could be ur friend here ngl
unless u can do shit with the same exponent
nvm bruh
u can
what are you confused about
wdym same exponent
i feel like we just separate it and notice that the modulos cycle with power
im a little slow
yes you can replace 35 with 35 - 36 = -1
im just gonna leave
and 16 with 16 - 18 = -2
then yes the powers of 2 should cycle modulo 6
try finding 2^1, 2^2, 2^3, 2^4 modulo 6
ok
so 2 mod 6 is 2
4 mod 6 is 4
8 mod 6 is 2
and 16 mod 6 is 4
so a 2-4 pattern
yep
so is the answer 3?
considering we're looking for the residue
oh wait no that's wrong
I think that's correct, -1 - (-2) = 1
,w 35^(1723) - 16^(1723) mod 6
wait
yeah cause you're doing 16^1723 = (-2)^1723
so that would be -1 * 2
but you are subtracting 16^(1723) so it's -1 * -1 * 2
oh yeah
maybe using 16 = 4 (mod 6) would be better
to avoid confusion

hello, i need help completing this proof
i couldn't quite prove that ord_n(ab)=hk
i can only prove that the order divides hk
order of ab?
Yes
idk how to proceed from there tho
Usually h and k are the group elements and a and b are the numbers so I was confused for a second
one idea is showing that hk|x so that they turn out to be equal
but
i tried it and i couldnt really find any opening
(hk)^d = 1, suppose d < ab
wait why raised hk to d?
Isn't this the definition of order
Ok sure we can use x
I have a way to do this where you reduce the exponents mod h and k then set one equal to the inverse of the other
I'll let you know if I think of a better way
so (ab)^(x) ≡ 1 (mod n)
hmm
modular inverses right?

How would I find an element in a cyclic group, given it's order, a generator of the group, and the order of the group?
find which element?
I haven't been given an element
All I have is
-The group
-The order of the group
-A generator of the group
-The element's order
you can work out the order of every power of the generator
what?
There are 20 powers of the generator in total
How do I know the orders?
well it's pretty easy like
if x has order n
and you want to work out the order of x^e
you need x^me = 1
and the least m such that n divides me is n/gcd(e, n)

But doesn't that only work for addition
what?
the subgroup generated by x of order n is isomorphic to the cyclic group of order n
it's a completely general statement
i mean there's no difference

sin^2(x) = sin(x) * sin(x) why did he change it to just an x?
this is what I did for my work
sorry the pen tool is messy 😅
use latex?
probs a mistake they overlooked
bro thinks someone learning calc 1 knows latex
should they not?
im in hs and ik some latex
they really shouldnt your definitely an exception
I also know latex. It's not hard to learn lol.
you guys are also all math nerds probably
so that probably adds on to it
cause ur actually interested
When x->0 sin x tends to x
in learning it
yup that is the case
It's the same as using lim x -> 0 sinx/x = 1
typing it manually on discord is easier than using latex to display it
$= \lim_{x\to 0} \br{\frac{\sin(x)}{x} \cdot \red{\sin(x)}} \
= \br{\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sin(x)}{x}} \cdot \lim_{x\to 0} \red{\sin(x)}$
ℝαμOmeganato5
it's faster for me to use a pen tool on excalidraw (digital whiteboard) than type in latex
try notability
its better
Of course it's faster to write it by pen
and lim x-> sin(x) is 0?
lim x->0 sin(x) is 0
- can't it's apple only
- it's not foss
- it's not in the browser
its seriously apple only?
yes
they use swift so it makes sense
I just use https://excalidraw.com/ infinite canvas in browser that can be downloaded
it has some premium features, but they are ai stuff or sharing/corporate so eh
anyways we are off topic

Is my proof good
So i assume that A is equivalent to B so it means there exists f: A-B(bijection)
So i have to show that AxC is equivalent to CxB for every C
So i know that there must be bijection between AxC and CxB
So i name that bijective function as g:AxC -> CxB
and give function g((a,c)) = (c,f(a)), where (a,c) is in AxC and (c, f(a)) is in CxB
So i prove injectivity of this function
So g((a1,b1)) = g((a2,b2)) => (c1,f(a1)) = (c2,f(a2))
and now i compare the components
So c_1 = c_2
and f(a_1)=f(a_2)
so the function is injective
sorry isn't this what you want to prove? why are you assuming it exists
(I suppose the equivalence relation $A\sim B$ here means there exists a bijection $\phi:A\to B$)
derivada.schwarziana
ok
since you don't know this a priori I don't think it's a valid proof
what I would do is, build a bijection between AxC and CxB explicitly
using that some bijection A->B exists
actually yes this exact definition works
so your proof is fine if you work that way, just avoid calling g "a bijective function" before you actually prove it is
you can write something like "let g(x,y)=(...). We prove that g is a bijection: [...]"
Oh thanks!
That has been problematic for me, ive lost so many points thanks to it
But um is the injection part good so far?
that i compare the components
yep
Alright
So for g to be surjective then i use surjectivty definiton
Such as for every (c,(fa)) in CxB there must find (a,c) in AxC so g((a,c)) = (c,f(a))
And also i wrote down surjectivity definition on f function also(which i assume is bijective)
yeah you're using that every b in B can be written f(a) for some a in A
As for every b in B there must be a from A so f(a)=b

So i write g((a,c)) = (c,f(a)) = (c,b) because f(a) = b
So for every c,b in Cxb there is (a,c) in AxC so g((a,c)) = (c,b). so that means g is surjective
And g is bijective function
is it correct?
yep it's all good

Hello everyone, can you help me decompose this rational function into partial fractions? please, im struggling so much 🙏
Alrighty, let me see if i can do that cuz i tried but i got stuck
i can give you a hint if you want
as a hint, consider group factoring
yes please 😭
factor the first two terms and the last two terms individually
if we factor out x^2 from the first 2 terms in the denominator, can we get something similar from the second two?
Alrightt :0
thank you so so much i'll try
it worked... i think! hhahaha

Two textbooks are selected at random from a shelf containing three statistics texts, two
mathematics texts and three engineering texts. Denoting the number of books selected
in each subject by S, M and E respectively, find (a) the joint distribution of S and M
but the join probabilities dont sum up to 1
when i look it up online they assigned sm weird values to (x=2, y=2)
if only 2 textbooks are selected
how can you possibly have 2 math and 2 stats books

i am having trouble finding arctan(-1)
it says wrong cuz it must be between pi/2 and -pi/2
Then that means your solution isn't between pi/2 and -pi/2
yes but what will it be then
Those bounds, in degrees, is 90 and -90, and you gave an answer as 315
its either 135 degrees or 315
Not exactly, you can go in both directions, you went in the orange direction, just go in the blue
Yes but look what I said before
.
You want an answer that's between 90 and -90
315 is not between those bounds
but how can you go counterclockwise from 90 to 0 and then change to clockwise from 0 to -90
that doesnt make sense
Not sure what you mean
i just dont understand 😭
try to make it simpler pls
i do not understand how you did -pi/4
You're trying to solve arctan(-1) and it wants an answer that's between pi/2 and -pi/2
You gave an answer that is 315 or 7pi/4
That is not between pi/2 and -pi/2
Is 7pi/4 between pi/2 and -pi/2?
That is a valid solution but ideally, you want that shaded area because of the 0 point
When people say between 90 and -90, the instinct is it crosses the zero point, not 180
thats really confusing
Not really
When you say -90 < x < 90, you wouldn't say x could be 180, right?
You would say x could be 0
I think you're getting confused because it's a circular shape
i am getting confused cuz i was taught -90 is the same as 270
It is, in terms of the unit circle
You're getting confuse when it says between 90 and -90
Yes 135 is a valid answer because that's the left half of the unit circle
But in terms of the bounds, it is not valid because 135 is not between -90 and 90

I probably missed something in my wire
I think that's an error, should be 3

Question
@prime storm Has your question been resolved?
Can't tell unless you show the whole explanation
Gimme a sec
They used t + 1/t >= 2 for all real numbers t
Work backwards from there
Wait what is that
Oh
Nvm
Yeah great so it's just substituing back up
If I am not mistaken
IDK what t is in this context but I think it's just substituting
This is used 3 times

You have an expression for dt, and a dt in the integrand
Try u = t^2
Yes, the integral of 1/(u^2 + 1) uses arctan

need an ANOVA for this to get the p values and test stats, no clue how to enter this data into excel in a way that will get it to show correctly
nothing im trying is working

unfortunately i am going to have to ping again soon

well id like for someone to help me if at all possible
@ancient wedge Has your question been resolved?
no
Unfortunately statistics isn't popular in help channels. Could try #probability-statistics
yeah i did post something there as well, havent gotten any takers there either
@snow brook i know you said you cant help me actually solve this problem but do you know how I could even enter this data set into excel and have it appear as it does in the image i posted
sorry bro im unknowledged in this category
no worries

Nope
are u conducting a chi-squared test?
im trying to do an ANOVA test in excel, just not sure how to enter the dataset in in a way that will have excel spit out the correct values

!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
so show your work
photos are a thing
or you can use MSPaint to write it
that's most definetly wrong, since it has no units
N
and what is f1 and f2?
what value are you using for g
9.8
looks fine then
20 kg, not 20 g
decompose both N and F into a horizontal and vertical component
ah i see
Call them Fx, Fy, Nx and Ny for convenience
Draw your FBD and apply force equilibrium on the x and y directions. Its easier if you rotate your axes 30 degrees so that the y axis is aligned with N and x axis is aligned with F
yes, sum of forces in same axis must equal 0
angle chase
is this correct?
you need to specify which is each of those
Fx = Fcos30º
also, remember to put the degree unit. Otherwise, it would be radians
for this tho how do i know what my angle is
yes...
same as you know that F is parallel to the plane
mhm
okok so the my i and j componetns
would be
-Ncos60 degrees for i component
Nsin60 degrees for j component
yeah yes
okok
now just equilibrium
then i just add everythign together
and is equal to 0
and then i do it for the i and j parts
then do simultanoues

Let A be a set and let S, T \superseteq A x A be equivalence relations on A.
Let's define the three-place relation:
S▷◁T={(a,b,c)\mid(a,b)\inS \wedge(b,c)\inT}
Let a,c \in A
1.Prove/disprove: if exists b\inA such that (a,b,c), (c,b,a) \in S▷◁T then c \in [a]_S
Idk how to convert this😃
Can someone check my proof ?
Let's say that there is $b\inA$ such that $(a,b,c), (c,b,a) \in S\triangleright \triangleleftT$
From the definition of $S\triangleright \triangleleftT$ since $(c,b,a)\inS\triangleright \triangleleftT$ we get $(c,b)\inS$ and from symmetry of S we get $(b,c)\inS$, since $(a,b,c)\inS\triangleright \triangleleftT$ we get $(a,b)\inS$ and from transitvity of S, since $(a,b),(b,c)\inS$ we get $(a,c)\inS$ and therefore from the definition of $[a]_S$ we get $c\in[a]_S$
Let $A$ be a set and let $S, T \subseteq A \times A$ be equivalence relations on $A$.
Let's define the three-place relation:
$$S \triangleright \triangleleft T={(a,b,c)\mid(a,b)\in S \wedge(b,c)\in T}.$$
Let $a,c \in A$\medskip
1.Prove/disprove: if exists $b\in A$ such that $(a,b,c), (c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$ then $c \in [a]_S$.
Oh wow
Aslan
And for clarity, I’m assuming in the first sentence here, S and T are subsets and not supersets..
Yes
Let's say that there is $b \in A$ such that $(a,b,c), (c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$
From the definition of $S \triangleright \triangleleft T$ since $(c,b,a)\in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$ we get $(c,b)\in S$ and from symmetry of S we get $(b,c)\in S$, since $(a,b,c)\in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$ we get $(a,b)\in S$ and from transitvity of S, since $(a,b),(b,c)\in S$ we get $(a,c) \in S$ and therefore from the definition of $[a]_S$ we get $c \in [a]_S$
You need spaces between A, S,T and the commands
You have written e.g. “\inS” but it should be “\in S”.
prograce
YESS FINALLY
2.prove/disprove if $c \in [a]_S$ , then there exists $b \in A$ such that $(a,b,c), (c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$
Anything you were in particular unsure about btw?
I was confidnet in 1, I'm.not sure about 2
I see
I'm leaning towards disprove but I can't find an example
Because I got stuck in proving
Why do they repeat that c is in A? Like where is a?
Let's say $c \in [a]_S$ from the definition of $[a]_S$ we get $(a,c) \in S$ ...?
I’m asking if this is the full question
a iis in A
This is the question I translated
prograce
Which one is 2)?
The very last line
Before א) and ב) you can see they say let a, c in A (line after gives the definition of [a]_S) and after is 1) and after is 2)
Yup I know but reread what you translated for me
Oh wait I wrote wrong
prograce
My bad
No worries, was just a bit confused
Okay so this is how you started?
Yes, in the end I wanna reach $(a,b) \in C \wedge (b,c) \in C$ But I don't know how, I thought maybe using transitivty but the definition isn't "if and only if" it is one sided so I can't just assume that because $(a,c) \in S$ then there exists b such that $(a,b) \in S and (b,c) \in S$
prograce
So I'm leaning towars disproving by giving an example
I tried that A={1,2,3} S is the relation "=" but I didn't reach contradiction
Indeed, but what if you’re able to construct such a b?
Now I’m not claiming that it’s either true or false
But I think it’s worth playing with
I will try
It would have to be a counterexample for arbitrary equivalence relations, not just any specific, because of the way the question is implicitly worded
Ohh
But you can use specific sets for A
How do I know if I can iuse specific or it has to be arbitrary based on the wording ?
Well, now it’s very implicit of course the way they wrote it, but it would make the most logical sense if it was this way if I’m not missing anything.
Ideally what you want to do is translate the statement with quantifiers and see what the negation is and that would give you your answer.
For example. The very first sentence in your question is saying that A is arbitrary
So the negation would turn this into an existence
But I don't understand, they define set A and the equivalence relations S, T the same way, saying "Let ..." in negation, both would be "there exists..." why is A specific and S, T arbitrary ??
Well it’s not any S and T, they have restrictions and this in combination with 2) makes that more apparent.
If the original statement was to hold for all S,T then just pick S,T so that they’re empty and you’d not get anything
I see
I think it’s helpful if you try and translate the question in combination with 2) using a more logical framework, who knows maybe I’m missing some subtleties here
I don't think I can translate it better what you're sayjng makes sense
I'll try to think of proving it again and come back
Oh wait I might be stupid, forget what I said before. You’re absolutely allowed to find counterexamples the way you did it earlier, I read the question wrong
It’s specifically the way question 1) is written that doesn’t allow this
Not 2)
So yea you should be allowed to find specific equivalence relations (and sets A) for 2) if you’re trying to show it’s false
Ok I see
I have a question , does c, b, a have to be not equal? Or can I give a counterexample where a=c ?
They could be equal!
Just make sure that it type checks, like as long as they’re from the same set and relation it should be fine
@woven sigil Has your question been resolved?
Proof:
Let's say $c \in [a]_S$ from the definition of $[a]_S$ we get $(a,c) \in S$, choose $b=c \in A$ therefore $(a,c)=(a,b) \in S$ from reflexivity of T $(b,b) = (b,c) \in T$ therefore $(a,b,c) \in S \triangleleft T$ , now from reflexivity of S, we get $(b,b) \in S$ we know that (c,b)=(b,b) therefore $(c,b) \in S$, also from reflexivity of T $(a,a) \in T$ and from transitivity of T we get $(b,a) \in T$ therefore $(c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$\medskip
In conclusion we reached that if $c \in [a]_S$ there exists a $b \in A$ such that $(a,b,c),(c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$
Is this allowed ? 😃
prograce
How do you know that (b,c) is in T?
Yup! But somehow they’re claiming that’s enough, which doesn’t seem that likely
Proof:
Let's say $c \in [a]_S$ from the definition of $[a]_S$ we get $(a,c) \in S$, choose $b=c \in A$ therefore $(a,c)=(a,b) \in S$ from reflexivity of T $(b,b) = (b,c) \in T$ therefore $(a,b,c) \in S \triangleleft T$ , now from reflexivity of S, we get $(b,b) \in S$ we know that (c,b)=(b,b) therefore $(c,b) \in S$, also from reflexivity of T $(a,a) \in T$ and from transitivity of T we get $(b,a) \in T$ therefore $(c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$\medskip
In conclusion we reached that if $c \in [a]_S$ there exists a $b \in A$ such that $(a,b,c),(c,b,a) \in S \triangleright \triangleleft T$
prograce
Does this work?
Again whose to say that (b,b) must be in T?
Because T is equivalnce relation on subset A, definition of reflexivity: Let R be a relation on set A for every $a \in A$ : $(a,a) \in R$
prograce
And We know $b \in A$ therefore it HAS to be $(b,b) \in T$
prograce
Oh right, you used reflexivity didn’t notice. Yes!
Let's goooo😆
Let me double check this now, forgot about reflexivity for some reason
Okay
Personal preference but I think it might neater if you write (b,c) = (b,b) in T, as (b,b) in T is what sort of clarifies that (b,c) is in T; but it’s only a preference and should not matter
Okay will do that for when I send the solution 🫡
Thank you btw!!

✅
For your own sake just incase, I don’t quite see your argument for why (b,a) is in T
You say (a,a) is in T and then by transitivity of T we get (b,a) in T
But with what exactly!
That’s not clear imo
Oh no it's wrong
I thought (b,b) (a,a) -> (b,a) but I wasn't focused I guess
Should be (b,a) ,(a,a)
But I don't have (b,a)
Right
I don’t see any direct way of patching that up. It seems you can only draw the conclusion that (b,b), (a,a), (c,c), (b,c), (c,b) is in T
Yeah maybe, it might help you gain a better perspective on the problem

To calculate the limit of suppose (2^x - 1)/x at x->0, can we find the slope of 2^x - 1 at 0 and then divide it by the slope of x at that point, which is 1, because they are now basically lines and the ratio of their values at specific values of x will be the ratio their slope? Since the curve becomes essentially a straight line when we zoom in?

Add the 2 equations together
okay
left with left, right with right
then?
subtract n/y from both sides
my+mx+ny+nx=a+b could be achieved too
yeah true
Then, you can divide both sides by (n+m), and divide 1 by both sides
explain
If you raised all the x & ys to the power of -1, you'd get the sum of the 2 original equations
ok
add the equations
yes
now ur saying in this equation or then add the older equation to get a system of equations
this equation
right m+n/x and m+n/y = a+b
that's ok
