And the upper part is 1/4 of the whole triangle (similar triangles)
So the lower part is 3/4 of the whole triangle
So multiply the lower part by 4/3 to get the whole triangle
3 more
Three squares with sides of lengths two, four and six units, respectively, are arranged
side-by-side, as shown so that one side of each square lies on line AB and a segment connects the
bottom left corner of the smallest square to the upper right corner of the largest square. What is the
area of the shaded quadrilateral?
I never do the math though so that’s on you
i cant wait to sleep
yea
Ok
im stuck on this
Let x be the small one and y the big one
ye
x = 1
y /6 = (2+4)/(2+4+6)
3
y = 3
area is 8
So now you can compute the area right ?
ye lol
In triangle ABC, AC = 21, BC = 28, and ∠ACB = 90◦. The bisector of ∠ACB meets AB at D.
Find the length BD
hmm
c = 35
ratio is /49
huh
you need help with this ?
AD is 15
i need someone to verify
AD is 15
BD is 20
okay wait a sec
Using the same diagram as in Problem 12, find CD
CD is uh
is AD and CD correct
what angle it makes or any information about it
i mean is AD =15 and BD = 20
i think CD is also 20
for?
okay soo untill you tell me the relation of angle c with the line cd it's not possible to determine it
like if it's bisected then it's fine we can find it
yea
soo angle c is bisected ?
In triangle ABC, AC = 21, BC = 28, and ∠ACB = 90◦. The bisector of ∠ACB meets AB at D.
Find the length BD.
that makes it easy
ye
yeah then you are right my friend
then waht is CD?
TBH you got me rolling how is this even solvable
lol
AD = 15; BD = 20; CD =?
Are you still on this one V
?
im on this
i got AD = 15; BD = 20; I need to find CD
i think its 20 ngl
?
bro messaged at 7:11
it's 12*sqrt(2)
root(384) i got
use the angle bisector theorem
In the diagram, triangles BQA, BQP, PQD, and BPC are all 30◦-60◦-90◦ triangles. If
AD = 12, then find the area of rectangle ABCD.
ja
i am sorry but what does 30◦-60◦-90◦ triangles means ?
one angle is 30 another is 60 and last is 90
oh kk
i am sorry but are you german ?
have you gotten anywhere
ok
naming with variables
ok
hey you can use co-ordinates i guess it's 144*sqrt(3)
ye
In rectangle ABCD, P is a point on side AB, and Q is the intersection of BD and CP.
If the area of triangle PBQ is 8, and the area of triangle CDQ is 18, then find the area of rectangle
ABCD
2nd last one
i got 60
ok
In the diagram, ABCD is a square with side length 13, DP = BQ = 5, and
AP = CQ = 12. Find PQ (((((i got sqrt(178)))))
hmm
do u have any clue
i kinda guessed too
nah i am solving RN
ok
might take a bit i am using co-ordinates and stuff
ye
did u get anywhere
ok
want me to send the solution ?
sure
kk
place the square with coordinates (D at origin):
A = (0, 13), B = (13, 13), C = (13, 0), D = (0, 0).
Point P is the intersection of the circles centered at A and D with radii AP = 12 and DP = 5.
Solving:
(x – 0)² + (y – 13)² = 12² ( using the cricle equation )
x² + y² = 5²
gives the left intersection:
P = (–60/13, 25/13).
Point Q is the intersection of the circles centered at B and C with radii BQ = 5 and CQ = 12.
Solving:
(x – 13)² + (y – 13)² = 5²
(x – 13)² + y² = 12²
and taking the point to the right of the square gives:
Q = (229/13, 144/13).
Now compute the vector PQ = (289/13, 119/13).
Then,
PQ² = (289/13)² + (119/13)²
= (289² + 119²) / 169
= 97682 / 169
= 578
= 2 × 17²
PQ = 17√2.
there you go took me a while to get it from image to text correctly cause my handwriting is aah soo good haha !

- Compare the V(i) that you calculated for times 7, 13, 21, and 25s. with the Vavg for the intervals that included those times. in which cases are the V(i) and Vavg nearly the same? quite different? Explain why.
Since the instantanious velocity is the tangent of a position time curve, it can be calculated by the infinitesimal change in position with respect to time. Since we are only given a finite number of points, calculating the tangent at a p(7) is approximately the same as finding the secant of the two points closest to p(7) (e.g: p(6), p(8)). Therefore, since we are only given a finite set of points, Vavg and V(i) are approximately the same.
SPH3UI.. godspeed soldier
my teacher does NOT deserve this level of analysis but we do what we do 😔
acc this is for an in class lab i didnt even submit 💀
i think the idea is, you want to find V_avg for the specific phase, and compare it with V_i in each case.
here’s the graph
you can barely read it tho
that graph is for
vavg
the table is for position
no that's perfectly fine
so for t=7, get the secant line between 6 and 8, but then get the secant line over all of phase 1 (this is the v_avg i think they want)
and then you should be comparing 5 different times, with each interval, to see when it's close and when it's far
pretty sure they would all be the exact same
since im just calculating for vi
and in this case
vi = vavg
so vavg=vavg
yeah i cross referenced
all of these are almost the exact same
with the Vavg for the intervals that included those times
i interpreted this as being the velocity over each phase, since that actually has the potential to be different
so for phase 1, it's the average velocity between 0.0 and 8.0 seconds
i mean i could be wrong about this wording. but like you said, vi = vavg, and i doubt they would give you a question that easily
i mean we had to calculate the average velocity of every point on the position time graph
then graph the average velocity
which is where that graph came in
iroc is basically just
the closest two points to a given curve gives you the tangent of the curve
which is basically
we are making the secant so much smaller
that it basically becomes the tangent
which is essentially what im doing
if we expand the iroc's tangent
we get a secant
and since vavg is a secant from all the points on the position graph
if we calculated for vi on a point
it would be the same as vavg
since we do the exact same calculation
because we cant find the actual derivitive
anyways that just how i interpreted it as
i might be wrong plus its hella late
hmm, im actually gonna double back and say that your thinking makes more sense here, because they also included 13s which is on the cusp of each phase
im just going to act like im right and move on from this shitty course
alr lol thank you
in that case, your analysis is pretty much correct. i might word your second sentence like this, though:
Since we are only given a finite number of points, our closest approximation for the tangent at p(i) is finding the secant....
and you could also add to the ending sentence:
since we are only given a finite set of points, V_avg = V_i within the closest possible approximation
but i think you get the point across fine without those changes
also my 4U teacher was quite literally a skeleton and he retired early, immediately after teaching our class. so yeah 💀
(but i honestly think 4U was easier than 3U, because the bs rules start to make a bit more sense)
to be fair
i have like a 50 average in this course because
im taking 4U next sem
so this wont count to my uni marks at all
so who gives a shit
yeah i kinda wrote it all on pencil so its hella hard to write lol
probably the best attitude to have about the course. hope u learn something cool in the meanwhile at least
i mean i love physics but this god damn shit show of a teacher man
not to flame her like
maybe you can keep these words in the back of your head for later then
she prolly a good teacher for some people
but like
we spent 2 hours on a single lesson
which took me
15 minutes of self study
then she assigned 15 homework problems EVERY DAY 💀
"closest approximation" and "within the given degree of precision" i think describe these kinds of things rly well
i do NOT miss the amount of mandatory SPH homework
what you end with
so like
i havent done any of it
theres 15 days of homework
ive gotten 0/5s on all of em
its been a while and i forgot what my transcript looked like. i think i got 91-93 for both courses bc i did all the work (it was covid i had nothing else to do)
ya if u can get the work in, you should
on my quiz
i wrote x1 = (fraction1) x2 = (fraction2)
and the equation was in time
so i got a ZERO on that ENTIRE PART
so wouldve been a 100
got like
a 75 i think
or an 80 on that
and this is why i do not like physics
in the first-year uni course for physics at my school, they gave us the standard "6-step method to solve a problem" thing
they wanted full explanations for each step for each problem, or else you lose like half your marks
and the multiple choice was 15 questions out of 5 points. no half points.
yeah cause all of the marks are like only process work bullshit
physics pisses me off but like as a subject
its better than math
im kind of whining now. but i really don't understand why they care so much, if the method and answer are correct
bro my ENTIRE answer was right but i just forgot to do t1= and t2=
well this is a math server so
holy shit this teacher
true true
theres not many physics servers tho
no sympathy from me unfortunately
i dont blame you lol
yeah apparently the big one is dead?
sounds good, good luck ^-^

I'm wondering if I went about proving injectiveness right
in the back of the book the solution said it follows from r^-1 existing
I didn't use that but is mine also right?
No, “it can’t be 0” isn’t how you show that x - y = 0 (mod n)
think of 2 * 5 = 0 (mod 10)
thats true
You can just use that r^-1 exists on both sides
also (mod n) is written once per equation instead of each side
yes
It’s just the same operation as between s and r
does r inverse exist because U(n) is a group?
or does it exists because Z_n is a group?
r is just some integer mod n so even if it's inverse didn't exist in U(n) I would still be able to use it's inverse from Z_n?
@grand solar Has your question been resolved?
im stuck on proving homomorphism
Z_n is made into a group with addition, but we use the fact that we can multiply integers here
this follows by distributivity of integer multiplication
it exists because we assume that r is in U(n), and by the definition of U(n), r must have a (multiplicative) inverse mod n
so alpha(xy) is alpha(x + y)
No, notice that the domain of alpha is Z_n
So you need to show that alpha is a homomorphism from (Z_n, +) to itself
and notice that the group operation is + in both the domain and the codomain
oh ok that makes sense
what if we defined r to be in the set of U(n) excluding r's inverse
would that mean we would not be able to assume the inverse exist
I was thinking since were dealing with Z_n and r is just an integer mod n we could just still assume it inverse existed
do you know the definition of U(n)?
U(n) is numbers relatively prime to n under multiplication mod n
2 does not have an inverse mod 10, so the assumption that r is in U(n) is necessary
well I never knew if multiplication mod n is a part of U(n)
multiplication mod n is a group operation on U(n)
addition isn’t (on U(n))
this involves the Euclidean Algorithm or Bezout’s Identity or something, if we use your definition
because it is a theorem that every r which is coprime to n must have an inverse mod n
I think im a bit confused still here
why wouldn't 8 be the inverse of 2 mod 10?
oh, I mean 2 does not have a multiplicative inverse
for “additive inverse” I’d say “negative”
8*2 is not 1 mod 10
but in Z_n 2 has an inverse mod 10 right
I think im confused on why we cant use that inverse
usually “inverse… mod n” (for some n) would mean “multiplicative inverse”, since the additive inverse is extremely easy to find, so we say “negative” for that
use it where?
so we have sr for r in U(n), and say I want to show alpha is injective
then xr = yr, and I want to multiply
-- oh I think I see, I was confused on why we coudn't use it here, but thats because were multiplying here and 2 inverse in Z_n is not the same as 2 inverse in U(n)? There's a lot going on so my brain is getting kind of jumbled thinking of different operations
Its the same difference between -2 and 1/2
yeah so you can consider calling them “inverse” for “multiplicative inverse” and “negative” for “additive inverse”

so I want to show that G is isomorphic to H?
and both of their group operations is addition
yeah this question has me kind of lost
take G and H as groups under addition. then prove they are isomorphic
So I need to find a function that relates the two groups, ok ill think some more about it
though kind of confused on how I would relate a real number with a matrix but hmm
ill try and see if I can get something
maybe det or something
oo I think det might do it?
a^2 - 2b^2
and thats (a - sqrt(2))(a + sqrt(2)b)
ill see if I can use this
i would say the notation is suggestive here
@grand solar Has your question been resolved?
And then check if the isomorphism preserves multiplication
did i show Onto correctly?
ok thanks i’ll try
when they say prove G and H are closed under multiplication they mean for me to show that two elements in G or H should produce another element in G or H under multiplication right
Yes
ok

how to solve the integral of (l+a+x)^-2
I dont know about u du method there was I role I think that can be followed to solve such thing
$\int_0^L (l+a+x)^{-2} \dd x$?
not 1 L
oh
what's L
yes
are l and a some constants?
basically part of line charge
yes u can assume so
and integeral limits from 0 to L
if that would help
Céline
yes that is it
$\int \frac{1}{(c+x)^{2}} \dd x$
Alexis_Fx
Do this look familiar to you?
What's the differential of -1/(x+c)
wait.. that was arc tan smth right?
arctan(x/a)/ sqrt(a) maybe
wait I think am wrong
just answer this
no....
alright what is the antiderivative of x
we subtract -1 from the x+c that would give us (x+c)^-2
yes differential of -1/(x+c) is (x+c)^-2
So antiderivative of (x+c)^-2 is -1/(x+c)
Does this look familiar to you?
yessss
That's not the way we suppose to solve integral but it works just fine in this case lol
Yes we do, I don't remember which one tho
when we get antiderivative of (x+c)^n we should do that and such ?
I see..
that works too
$\int (x+c)^n=\frac{1}{n+1} (x+c)^{n+1}$
Alexis_Fx
iirc
oh wait
so I was watching this video
and when they solved this integration he added 1 , which makes sense.. Then mulitplied by -1
I belive it is the differential of l+a-x maybe
you mean the yellow circle?
no ignore the yello circle
oh okay
I'm not sure where that came from
this seems to be the differentiation of whatever inside the parenthesis from numerator
yeah.. it confused me too
u mean dx ?
,w int (l+c-x)^(-2)
No the x in the denom
ommm..
btw you wrote the question wrong
so this rule + the derivative of (x+c) in the denominator
and chain rule
Wel chain rule is quite painful to explain
You should watch youtube
I know what is chain rule
u just do dertivative to what is inside the parenthesis
sorry for my english btw but I think u got what I said

hello again
using those integrations
I wanna find dE_y
that is my solution
however, I am not getting zero. my lecturer said that The result of E_y must be zero .. can anyone pls tell me where I have gone wrong ?
U are missing a -ve sign
om...
U got it?
x-xp ? why tho ?
oh u mean this ?
Yes
Now in the ques (x-xp)^2= (xp-x)^2
And u have the formula for (x-xp)^2
I haven't simplified it but there's no mistake now so it should work
U got it?
lemme try to solve it
but xp is a different thign
we are integerating in terms of x
and in that initial integral we should are integrating in terms of x too
so
we should have negative sign outside right?
because it is -x not +x
still.. I dont see any different that would lead to zero
the first term is going to have L and last term cant have that L
how it will cancel each other
(x-a)^3 /3 ?
According to you integral of( x-a)^2 and (a-x)^2 must be different but they are not
You can expand them and check
That captures your point right?

what is (f) about? Since we have the ordered basis $\beta={1,x,x^2}$, I see that $f(x):P_2(F)\to P_2(F)$, and $[f(x)]_{\beta}$ is the matrix representation $f(x)$ in the ordered bases $\beta$. But I couldn't figure out what $f(x)$ is.
afi
What is $\beta$?
Stitches
$\beta={1,x,x^2}$ the standard ordered basis of $P_2(F)$
afi
so you want 3-6x+x^2 in terms of the elements of beta no?
Umm, I thought $f(x)$ should be a linear transformation with a $3\times 3$ matrix representation?
afi
No that's T
You multiply f(x) (as a vector) by T (a transformation matrix), to get the output of the transformation (as a vector)
f(x) is a possible input to your transformation T
Distinct from T(f(x)), which would be the output of applying the transformation T on f(x)
afi
yeah thats all

what have you tried?
nothing. I don't understand
i do
all 3?
not continuity on topology tho
okay so
you want me to keep it abstract or show how it's based on continuity of real functions?
the simplest way pls
a function is continuous if the preimage of every open set is open
okay
so you need to check f^{-1}(S) for all open S, what are the open sets here?
Those are not all the open sets
{b} is not open
And {a}, yes
Here you need the definition of pointwise continuity
ok, so {a}, X and the empty set
A function f:X-> Y is continuous at x if for any open set V that contains f(x), there is an open set U containing x such that f(U) subset V
I'll latex it one sec
A function $f:X\to Y$ is continuous at $x\in X$ if for any open set $V\subseteq Y$ that contains $f(x)$, there is an open set $U\subseteq X$ containing $x$ such that $f(U) \subseteq V$
Raphaelisius Maximus MMIII
no you don't need it
oooh
I take it back
"Study the continuity at the points a and b of ..."
the question says "continuity AT"
yeah yeah youre 100% right
@undone walrus as you would expect, there's a theorem
a function is continuous iff it is continuous at every point
but it can be continuous at some points and not others
yes right
thank you for the correct Raphael
so we want {a} and {b} to be in V ?
V?
let's go through the 2 cases
okay
first you have f(a)=b
which means you want to consider every open set containing the element b
what are they?
X
ok perfect
right, so you need to look at
f^{-1}({a}) and f^{-1}(X)
the second one you already checked from the earlier part
wait actually i cheated
I did?
rather
I skipped a step you might not have gotten yet
so, pretend i didnt say it
😓
dont worry!
remember that inverse image distributes along union
so you can test f^{-1}({a,b}) = f^{-1}({a}) cup f^{-1}({b})
(regular image does not have this property)
(only inverse image)
let me write that in latex so there's fewer curly brackets
okay
$$f^{-1}({a,b}) = f^{-1}({a}) \cup f^{-1}({b})$$
gfauxpas
ok right
Actually union is fine
did I mix it up with intersection?
Yes
silly me
forward image distributes along union, but forward image does not distribute along intersection. inverse image distributes along both
of so f^-1 {X} = f^1 {a} union f^-1 {b} ?
good thing you're here!
yes because X = {a,b} here exactly
nice
is that open?
no?
=X
indeed
now you have to check f^{-1}({b})
err
which one were we up to
b or a
f^{-1}({a})
=?
open?
not open
so f(x) is not continuous at x=b
typo
by the way, if you want to think of why this is a definition of continuity
think of epsilons and deltas as open epsilon-balls and open delta-balls
there are open sets
for it to be continuos at x=b it would have to be open at both f^{-1}({a}) and f^{-1}(X)
correct.
right
these are*
they're not the ONLY open sets, but you'll learn why with real functions in the standard topology it's good enough to only check open balls

how is it not
is it not what
blue van
sorry had to think for a sec
it literally has the highest for all 3 months
actually not its green
oh wait no its red
i was trying to do this in my head lol
its not hard
i dont get why you need to calculate anything, can't you just which one has the highest mileage in all 3 months
its the blue van
Blue has always the highest amount of mileage no matter the month
huh
No combination of months could lead to other having more mileage
its asks for the greatest distance between september 1st and november 30th
blue also has higher mileage in august anyways
If the blue van is not the answer in the problem, then the problem is wrong
no you're wrong
🥀
blue clearly has 83392-73959=9433
bruh
just search what month has the highest difference from august to november
red has 78853-68240=10613
thats what im trying to say bruhhhh
and you're telling me im wrong bruhhhh
and btw i already calculated that in head its red
here i said that before
when i looked that they were all increasing i figured its accumulating
i read the task normally.

i don't understand how we can tell the opposites from the other die
just by looking at a different die
Well you can see the opposites on this die, can you list them?
(also why do they go back and forth between dice and die
)
yea
@merry helm ?
i would try drawing nets of both dice and filling in based on the visible faces
oh wait hold on
this is ONE die you're looking at.
Yes it's completely determined
definitely draw a net for it and fill it in based on available info
take note of how the six-face is oriented
OP doesn't feel like answering though, so 
yeah
on the other die (which is shown)
3 and 1 are opposites, 4 and 2 are opposites, 6 and 5 are opposites
sorry i was doing other maths while waiting
but i dont really have any info on the other (not shown) die
i only have info on the die shown
so then you're saying the opposite-face pairs on the first die are 1-3, 2-4 and 5-6
those totals are 4, 6 and 11 so you cannot have any of the same totals on the second die
nor 7
yeah this makes sense
would a fast way be to just check all of the available options
yea
forbidding total 6 gives you this right away
the third unmentioned pair also shouldnt add up to 4, 6 or 11
or 7
ok now actually im stuck too
D is out but i cant rule out any of the others
oh wait
You can't have the same sum on one die
it's not restricted but in that option it ends up duplicated on the 2nd die
i think its easier to think about the sides of the dices
its ranging from 3 to 11, with 4, 6, 7, 11 out
and the sum must be 21
its not hard to see that its should be 3, 8, 10

How do i get the values of the roots?
I plugged it into desmos but idk how to set the intervals
Can you show your desmos?
Yeah i put in those values but it said incorrect
so it’s clickable
Not really uh maybe you need more sig figs
or like do you have any instruction
on how you should “approximate” your answer?
this is the whole question
doesnt state about rounding or anything
wait
Can't you just zoom in to the required level, e.g. with the mousewheel?
oh it says 4dp
can u show what you wrote out?
Wait lemme write it out again
There’s no need to though
Those points are clickable
Yeah this is what the roots are
after i clicked the points
But it says incorrect
0.14285 is not rounded to 0.1428
oh yea
there we go\
Yeah your rounding is off

This is how far I've gotten, and I wanna know whether there are any properties im missing? I can't see how else to solve this
,rccw
the abs function isn't linear: $\exists (a,b), |a+b| \neq |a| +|b|$
less than or equal to yes
Don’t think that’s useful here though
Médicis
Oh
you need to to analyse the function on $(-\infty , -1)$, $[-1, 1)$ and $[1, \infty)$
Médicis
Why those values specifically?
do you know the definition of the abs function?
!occupied
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
The magnitude of difference between two points?
no
The magnitude of any point from 0?
hence $|x+1| = x+1$ if $x+1 \geq 0$,
$=-x-1$ if $x+1<0$
Médicis
therefore for |x+1| you've got to study the function on $[-1, \infty)$ and $(-\infty , -1)$
Médicis
same thing for |x-1|
How do those two relate?
So when you add them together you have to treat where any term of the function can change separately
I get up to this part
$|x+1| = x+1$ if $x+1 \geq 0$,
$|x+1| =-x-1$ if $x+1<0\$
$|x+1| = x+1$ if $x\geq -1$,
$|x+1| =-x-1$ if $x<-1$
BBMaths
Ohbhh
That makes sense
And then i would do the same thing for x-1?
How would one study these intervals though?
And then add them? And how does one study them?
@crude quail Has your question been resolved?
Note that the definitions of the “parts” of $f$ change at $x=-1$ and $x=1$
Civil Service Pigeon
If you plot these on a number line, you should see how they split up the number line into three intervals: $(-\infty,-1)$, $(-1,1)$, $(1,\infty)$
Civil Service Pigeon
Obviously you need to include $x=-1,1$, but you can just throw those on wherever
Civil Service Pigeon
But my point here is that you can consider $f$ on each of these intervals
Civil Service Pigeon
Ex. For $(-\infty,-1)$, $|x-1|=-(x-1)$ and $|x+1|=-(x+1)$, so $f(x)=-(x-1)-(x+1)$ for that interval
Civil Service Pigeon

Knowing that $a, b \in \mbb{Z}$ and $\gcd(a,b) = 5$, find the possible values of $$\gcd(a^4 + b^4, 2ab^2)$$ Show an example for each case
Renato
@burnt swift Has your question been resolved?
This looks like a previous imo question am i wrong?
is a question from my intro to algebra class
alrighty
Hint, think what prime numbers can divide both 2ab^2 and a^4 + b^4
care to elaborate ?
Sorry I am busy
from the gcd(a,b) condition what I get is that
5 | a , 5 | b
from there we get that
5^4 | a^4
so
a = 0 (mod 5)
and so
a^4 = 0 (mod 5)
similarly with the 5 | b condition I get that 5^4 | b^4
so b = 0 (mod 5)
and we get b^4 = 0 (mod 5)
so b^4 = 0 (mod 5)
Can 7 divide the gcd?
well
@burnt swift Has your question been resolved?
@burnt swift Has your question been resolved?
5^4 | a^4
5^4 | b^4
so 5^4 | a^4 + b^4
and
5 | a
5^2 | b^2
so 5^3 | 2ab^2
so hcf is either 5^3 or greater for sure

The textbook says it converges so I might’ve made an algebra mistake
I FELL ASLEEP 😭
my bad
so what do i do?
do i split the fraction?
i mostly get an indeterminate form
so do i L'Hopital?
and then by L'Hopital, i get 1/0
which is 0
and since r is less than 1 bc r is 0 and 0<1, then that means it converges
?
$\sum_{k=0}^\infty e^{-4} k = e^{-4} \sum_{k=0}^\infty k = -\frac1{12e^4}$
Wumpus Man

OHHH WAIT e TO THE -4 IS A NUMBER
i can move it out i forgot
howd u get -1/12
yk what i'll do it tmrw morning i have to wake up in 4 hours
nononono
im jk btw
you should help, idk what convergence is
i mean
im supposed to use ratio test
did you copy the problem correctly?
lowk thats a good question i mightve been so sleepy i mightve copied wrong
that uh... says -k not -4
no wonder I couldn't figure out what happened
my bad 😭
im actually going to sleep i cannot

Any line passing through origin in R3 .. dimensions??
What is dimension?
Size of basis
Or equivalently the maximal size of a linearly independent subset
Or the minimal size of a spanning subset
!original
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.
Span what?
What is he asking you
@quasi depot
A line has dimension 1, a planr has dimension 2
And how?
Could you explain more please?
Ohh i have an idea
for equation in 3d
r=a+lambda b
So i can easily see that we need only one vector to represent a line in 3d
So dimension is 1
For a plane we need two vectors one is normal and one is situated over a plane

hello everyone how are you all tonight
so for this question i tried this method
T X X C X X X X X
X = Letters that are not T or C
Did you get the answer

T X X C X X X X X
Here X can be anything like you said , but we can move TXXC as whole throughout the word
ok so C T can be swapped around
i choose 9 - 3(e) - 1(t) - 1(c)
so 2! * 4P2 * 6!/3!(three e)
no one says the other letters cannot be on the left side
yeah i considered this
and i considered this
this is what i did
6! for the TXXC
and the other 5 letters
5P2 for the 2 letters between the T and C
and hello sky and night
Ok so did you get the answer by the method you said
