im really stuck on part i

topaz sinewBOT
silent vine
#

(rn im trying to prove if A, B in R(S), then A \ B in R(S)

#

Let $S$ be a semiring of sets, and let
[
L = \bigsqcup_{j=1}^{r} B_j,
\qquad
M = \bigsqcup_{n=1}^{m} C_n,
]
where each $B_j, C_n \in S$.

Then
[
L \setminus M
= \left( \bigsqcup_{j=1}^{r} B_j \right)
\setminus
\left( \bigsqcup_{n=1}^{m} C_n \right)
= \bigcap_{n=1}^{m}
\left(
\bigsqcup_{j=1}^{r} (B_j \setminus C_n)
\right).
]
Since $S$ is a semiring, for each $j,n$ there exist finitely many disjoint sets
$D_{j,n,1}, \dots, D_{j,n,K_{j,n}} \in S$
such that
[
B_j \setminus C_n
= \bigsqcup_{k=1}^{K_{j,n}} D_{j,n,k}.
]
Hence
[
L \setminus M
= \bigcap_{n=1}^{m}
\left(
\bigcup_{j=1}^{r}
\bigsqcup_{k=1}^{K_{j,n}} D_{j,n,k}
\right).
]

ashyboi

silent vine
#

this is what i have so far

#

i have no idea what to do form here lol

grim pike
#

Note that we have $E_{j,n} : = \bigsqcup_{k=1}^{K_{j,n}} D_{j,n,k} \in R(S)$ for each $j,n$. Try showing that these sets $E_{j,n}$ are disjoint.

Hiii although it's not math, but it's just basic physics that i hope anyone can help me :(((((((

for this question, the trouble i faced are

  1. why Vx is same with 25V when their terminal is opposite
  2. I know that the current should be the same in series circuit but why the dependent current source is +15A at last :((((((( ( the arrow is opposite against the independent current source right ? )
  3. May i know what is the final flow of the whole circuit, and how do yall know it ?

Hope anyone can help me with dis :((, thank you

loud oasis
#

vx = -25 V due to the opposite voltage directions

wraith sparrow
#

if it's -25V, then
avx = -15A ?
a(-25) = -15
a = 0.6
is it like this ?

pearl bridge

.

topaz sinewBOT
drifting swift
#

ok yeah so that's two matrices

pearl bridge
#

the question is supposed to be system of linear equation by inverse method

#

and after we got all the minors

#

he decided to change their signs

#

why did he do that

eternal sierra
#

he didnt change ALL the signs

drifting swift
#

mmm can you post the full context/video

drifting swift
#

ok right so

#

we're constructing adj(A), which i think this guy is denoting with C

#

the idea is A adj(A) = det(A)I

#

det(A) = sum_j a_ij C_ij = a_ij (-1)^(i+j) M_ij

#

am i making sense here

pearl bridge
#

the detrinemtn of a?

drifting swift
#

ouch spelling

pearl bridge
#

he already got it as 10

drifting swift
#

yes but the point is not what number det(A) is but how it is gotten

#

it has that sign alternation pattern yeah?

#

like you add each entry times its corresponding minor but you put the signs as + - in a chessboard pattern based on where it is in the original matrix

#

it's kind of tricky to explain bc there's a lot of moving parts in here

pearl bridge
#

this is something after that

drifting swift
#

detriment ≠ determinant

#

anyway ok i need to go bc im kinda tired

#

(not from this but from earlier shit, not your fault)

sturdy flint

I am stuck on a point in my solution:

x = A cos(wt + phi)
At t = 0, for 1st particle
A/√2 = A cos (phi)
(Phi) = 45°

x = 2A cos(wt+ phi)
-A/√2 = 2A cos (phi) at t = 0
But this give phi as -1/2√2 whose value can't be written in 0 to 90 degree trigonometry table

#

For question 7

#

How to solve this question

gusty dust
#

extreme position of the second particle is -2A

gusty dust
sturdy flint
sturdy flint
gusty dust
#

Its motion is around the origin with amplitude 2A right?

#

So the extreme position is when x=2A

sturdy flint
sturdy flint
gusty dust
#

And since you set the other side positive for the first particle

sturdy flint
gusty dust
#

This side extreme position is -2A

gusty dust
sturdy flint
#

So for 2nd particle -2A = 2A cos(phi)

#

Phi = π

#

180°

#

Then phase difference is 180-45 = 135

#

Right?

gusty dust
#

yea

#

I mean you could imagine it really

#

it's on the other side so can't be 90 degree or 45

#

180 also doesn't make sense cuz they have to have the same phi

sturdy flint
#

How do you imagine it like on graph or circle or what

gusty dust
sturdy flint
#

But in books graphs are mentioned mostly

gusty dust
#

Graph is such a confusing way for me

#

Even in a graph problem I still convert it to circle

#

But it depends on you really

sturdy flint
#

I want easy stuff

#

As you say it is circle

sturdy flint
#

On circle

gusty dust
#

The first particle is on first quadrant and the second one is on second

#

So it has to be in <180 and >90

#

But to know the exact is a whole technique

sturdy flint
#

I want to learn that technique

gusty dust
#

I meant it's not easy to explain

sturdy flint
#

How did you learn it

#

In classes?

gusty dust
#

But it's easy to use when you get the hang of

gusty dust
sturdy flint
#

Then ill know it most prolly because I am studying this chapter before it starts in class

gusty dust
sturdy flint
#

Shm can be described as prjection of circulsr motion

gusty dust
sturdy flint
#

Oh ok then I know it I just need to practice on shm in cirucular motion

sturdy flint
#

I have one more problem

#

The maximum displacement of a particle executing SHM is 1cm and the maximum accleration is (1.57) ² cm/sec². Then the time period is ____

drifting swift
#

1.57^2 ?

sturdy flint
drifting swift
#

ok

#

im really tempted to say that this 1.57 is really pi/2 in disguise

#

anyway you should know that max accel = omega^2 * max displacement right

sturdy flint
#

Yup yup

drifting swift
#

$x = A \cos(\omega t + \varphi)$ gives $\ddot{x} = - A\omega^2 \cos(\omega t + \varphi)$

thorny flameBOT
drifting swift
#

so you know $A$ and $A\omega^2$. you can figure out $\omega$ from here.

sturdy flint
#

Yes

thorny flameBOT
sturdy flint
#

I get wt + phi = π

#

A = 1cm
a max = w²
So d²x/dt² = w² = -Aw² cos (wt +phi)
=> cos(wt + pi) = -1
Wt +phi = π

#

From here w is not coming out

#

@drifting swift

#

Help ^

drifting swift
#

you are wrong to even think about the full motion equation here

#

or time

#

max x = A
max x'' = Aω^2

#

this only!

sturdy flint
#

then this becomes w² only since A= 1cm

#

okay I assume it at t = 0

drifting swift
#

sure

drifting swift
#

this is not about movement at any particular pt in time but about overall parameters of the shm as a whole

sturdy flint
#

Is w = 1.57

drifting swift
#

yes

#

= pi/2

sturdy flint
#

then T = 2π/w

#

4 sec is answe?

#

Yes it is correct

wooden kayak
#

how did he get pi/3 and pi + pi/3

topaz sinewBOT
topaz ledge
#

If tanx= tany then x=y+nπ

#

@wooden kayak

wooden kayak
#

go settings and apply the step to pi

#

I dont understand what yall mean 😭

topaz ledge
#

Do you know how to graph tanx

wooden kayak
#

Not really

topaz ledge
#

Tanx = sinx / cosx

#

At x=0 sinx = 0 this tanx= 0
As we increase x, tanx also increases and at π/2 cosx=0 hence tanx tends to infinity

#

From this we can create a rough graph of tanx

#

Which is strictly increasing with range [0, infinity) in this interval

wooden kayak
#

ohhh

#

so what if we want to know undefinity beyond 360

#

of tanx

topaz ledge
#

Beyond pi/2

#

It is quite similar

wooden kayak
#

why is the graph going to negative infinity before pi

#

this section

topaz ledge
#

That is because of the sign of cosine being negative

#

In that interval

#

Thus when approaching from the right cosine increases from -1 to 0-

wooden kayak
topaz ledge
#

Have you done the unit circle definition of trig functions

wooden kayak
#

yes

topaz ledge
#

Then in the interval pi/2 and pi

#

The x coordinate is -ve

#

So that is why the graph of tanx is negative

Hi! One question:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x, y)$

How can we prove that if we have the above equation where f is a function of x and y that y(x) is itself a function [and not generally a relation that may or may not be a function necessarily]?

thorny flameBOT
#

SeaSamak

marble gate
#

doesn't dy/dx only make sense if y is a function

static talon
#

I don't think so

#

Because you can still have dy/dx for an implicit relation of y, no?

static talon
static talon
static talon
#

Apparently f(x, y) is called a "scalar-valued function," I found online . . .

static talon
marble gate
#

I'm spitballing here, but if dy/dx = f(x, y) where f is a function, then dy/dx exists over the entire domain of both x and y, and is well-defined

#

so you cannot have x R y1 and x R y2 (else your dy/dx would break)

static talon
marble gate
#

some relation

static talon
#

oh, I see

marble gate
#

probably abuse of notation - maybe the correct would be x y a and x y b

#

x is related (by y) to multiple values

static talon
#

I got you, like it should pass the vertical line test

drifting swift
#

but practically speaking you MAY come across a situation in which the solution of your DE works out as an implicit function

#

then you conceptualize it as being split into a bunch of solutions along each "branch point" ie roughly when the tangent to the curve would be vertical

#

for example dy/dx = -x/y

#

this gives you x^2 + y^2 = C if you integrate it

#

that's a circle and not itself a function but it can be split into two arcs which are

static talon
drifting swift
#

y = sqrt(C-x^2) and y = -sqrt(C-x^2)

static talon
#

So then the form dy/dx = f(x, y) can technically lead to a solution y where it is an implicit relation of y where it isn't a function?

drifting swift
#

if you want something to UM-ACKSHUALLY with, then yeah ig

static talon
#

Like I would have to see than in 3 dimentional space

drifting swift
#

why do you think -x/y is not (or might not be) a function of x and y?

static talon
#

let's say we have x1 and y1, we should get only one value for z1 . . . So it makes sense for it to be a function if we have z=-x/y

#

What if the relation f(x, y) wasn't a function, though?

#

Would that change anything in the differential equation?

#

But basically my main question has been cleared, thanks all! But it's weird that my book explicitly states that y(x) has to be a function

#

if it were to be a solution to the differential equation

#

As we concluded the circle relation to be a counterexample to that

little abyss
#

I think instead of cosec it should be cos
Because i couldn’t figure out any way to prove it

little abyss
#

I accidently send the flipped version

#

Here are the identites also if anyone needs them but again the main issue is that i think its a misprint , i just need to confirm it

true hamlet
#

Hard to help you without giving straight away the answer, but you can simplify the interior of the square root by multiplying and dividing by the same quantity

sharp wyvern
#

what have you tried

little abyss
#

I have tried the rhs first

#

Actually there was a question just like this

#

In that one instead cosec i had cos in the roots

smoky sparrow
little abyss
#

So i think its a misprint as it seems impossible

smoky sparrow
#

the question statement is faulty

little abyss
smoky sparrow
#

,w range of (1 + csc x)/(1 - csc x)

smoky sparrow
#

anyways the range of the inside of the sqrt is [-infinity, 0]

little abyss
#

Okay ig that solves my problem thx

fringe terrace
#

I need help with question number 1 the solutions my teacher posted are different from mine I’m wondering what I did wrong or maybe if the solutions are just wrong

fringe terrace
#

My teachers solution:

quasi depot
#

parenthesis

fringe terrace
#

Huh?

quasi depot
#

Your numerator is -3(x+b) where you teacher's is -3x+b

fringe terrace
#

Oh

#

I don’t really get her answer though bc the way I did it is the way we did it in class

#

I also don’t know where that four came from in her answer

quasi depot
#

To me it looks like she read it like x=1 and y=2

#

So instead of (2,1) she solved like it was (1,2)

fringe terrace
#

Oh true

#

I’ll ask her about it Monday, our test is Tuesday so I was lowkey stressing 😭

quasi depot
#

Its fine, move to the next thing for now

#

Good luck

Sooo, I need help with this exercise about Induction

#

I know how to do the Induction Basis, but the Induction Hypothesis... well, a bit difficulty for me, like, to grasp, how I should write it

#

This is my try of solving it

drifting swift
#

can you prove 2n+2 ≤ 2^n?

#

that's kinda going to be the crux of it

#

if you can prove that 2n+2 ≤ 2^n always, then your proof works

weary zephyr
drifting swift
#

i think there may be an alternative that's easier, actually.

#

instead of proving $n^2 \leq 2^n + 1$ why not try $n^2 - 1 \leq 2^n$? it's the same thing after all.

thorny flameBOT
weary zephyr
#

But I do know is that, if I add something on the left side (that is, "2n+1") then I have to add it to the other side of the unequation as well

rigid kelp
#

No one in help35?

weary zephyr
# thorny flame **Ann**

Huhhhh, interesting, but even then, I don't know How to prove it/formulate it. And the example solution the tutors gave us isn't helping me understand the topic either:

golden blade
#

Willst du es auf Deutsch erklären

weary zephyr
#

Also, wie ich sagte, ich hab bei "n power 2 + 2n + 1" blockiert und ich komme nicht weiter. Soll ich "2n + 1" auf der rechte Seite der Ungleichung als "(2 power n + 1) + 2n + 1" darstellen?

#

Und wenn schon, wie stelle ich die Ungleichung weiter?

golden blade
#

2n+1 < 2^n gilt erst ab n>=3 deswegen finde ich das schon komisch

weary zephyr
weary zephyr
#

Jaaa, deshlald verwirrt mich auch diese Lösung

#

Und ich bereite mich jetzt vor für ein mid-term und ich brauche eine zweite Meinung

odd pagoda
#

13<64 gilt bekannterweise nicht

golden blade
#

Bruh hab mich verkuckz

weary zephyr
# weary zephyr

sooooo, hat jemand von euch ein tip, wie ich den Beweis dastellen konnte?

golden blade
#

Du könntests zeigen dass 2^x-2x+2>0 und monoton wachsend ist ab einem x

odd pagoda
#

nenene. wenn schon dann halt noch ne zweite induktion

golden blade
#

oder machs induktiv wie du magst

weary zephyr
#

Ich muss aber das folgende Beweisen:

weary zephyr
odd pagoda
#

der beweis ist fine. das einzige was halt fehlt ist 2n+2 <= 2^n. was du mit ner zweiten induktion machen könntest

golden blade
odd pagoda
#

warte mal du brauchst doch nur 2n <= 2^n

weary zephyr
golden blade
odd pagoda
#

(n+1)^2 = n^2+2n+1 <= 2^n+2n+1 <= 2^n+2^n+1 = 2^(n+1)+1

golden blade
#

Und wo wurde die Induktionsannahme verwendet

#

Wir wissen nur n^2 =< 2^n+1

odd pagoda
#

whoops

odd pagoda
#

wir zeigen zuerst dass 2n+2 <= 2^n
beweis: ....
jetzt zeigen wir die eigentliche aussage:
...

#

zum beispiel

weary zephyr
#

okay, aber... wie beweise ich 2n+2 <= 2^n, ich meine, ich weiß nicht wie

odd pagoda
#

induktion

weary zephyr
#

ist "2n + 2 <= 2n + 2n <= 2^n" genügend?

golden blade
#

Das wäre okay, dann wirds noch einf

#

2n =< 2^n zu zeigen dann ist noch einfacher

weary zephyr
golden blade
#

Ich bin verwirrt was du anstellst

weary zephyr
golden blade
weary zephyr
golden blade
golden blade
weary zephyr
golden blade
#

Entweder du zeigst für alle n>=3 dass 2n+2 =< 2^n oder für alle n>=4 dass 4n =< 2^n

#

Dann gilt der Induktionsschritt bis auf endlich viele n

#

So die anderen cases kann man ausrechnen

#

Ich denke Letzteres ist noch einfacher zu zeigen mit Induktion oder bisschen Analysis

how do i do this 😭

topaz sinewBOT
thick jay
#

i have an idea but im not a 100% sure it's possible, still wanna hear it out?

thick jay
#

oh mbmb, i thought this was meant to be solved with integration, it looks simpler than what i thought it was

just find the centre of mass then if its projection on the plane XY lies within the base, it's "stable"

plush ingot
#

do i find centre of mass

thick jay
#

You know the total mass of the building, yes?

#

M= 6m where m is the mass on each vertex.
Then it tells you that the top floor is made by shifting the x, y, z coords

#

by x0, y0, 20

#

'so you know the vector equations that must be defined for each vertex's position vector

#

no?

#

yea thats the way

heavy timber
#

the 140 and 125 are forces

topaz sinewBOT
heavy timber
#

the question is asking to add the two torques of the two forces around point A

#

I keep getting 90

#

torque of 125 around A is easy its just -500

#

now for the torque of the 140, i drew that perpendicular line

#

using pytha's twice, i got the lengths of the triangle of which the perpendicular line is in

#

then used euclids to find its length, multiplied that by 140, got 590

#

so... 90

#

answer choices are 50 60 70 80

#

oh wait... ok i cant use euclids there

#

let me retry with cosine rule

#

ok i got 5sin(60) for the perpendicular length

#

is that wrong? still yields an answer thats not in the answer choices

heavy timber
spice seal
#

can you send the original question as well

loud oasis
#

to me it seems like the most straightforward way would be to split the 140 force into x- and y- components

heavy timber
#

but is there smth wrong with my approach

#

ok

#

still yields 606, which when added to -500

#

yeah, not in the answers

#

btw i also got 606 with my approach

loud oasis
heavy timber
#

or you can look at my drawing and see if theres any incorrect information

loud oasis
#

well can you show how you got 5 sin(60)?

heavy timber
#

60 degree angle,

#

right triangle

loud oasis
#

how did you get a 60 degree angle?

heavy timber
#

cosine rule on the triangle of lengths 5, 4sqrt(10) and 15

#

triangle abc

#

and i got bc using pyth's on the 12 and the 9

#

and i got ba using pyth'\s on the 12 and the 4

#

so i got all the lengths

#

applied cosine, boom, 60

loud oasis
#

applying cosine rule does not give me 60 degrees

heavy timber
#

or... which length did i get wrong

loud oasis
#

well assuming we're finding the angle C, then side c should be the side opposite that, 4*sqrt(10)

heavy timber
#

aha

#

(ab)^2 = ca^2 +bc^2 -2(them two) cosC

loud oasis
#

yes

heavy timber
#

ok i have an 18 in my calculations

#

😭

#

idk where that came from

#

53.13

#

is that the angle

loud oasis
#

something like that

#

i will also note that it would probably be easier to get that angle via right triangle trig

heavy timber
#

i didnt see the big right triangle

#

omg the redundancy

#

ok 60

#

oh my godddddddd i cant be making these mistakesssss

#

ok ty cloud

Prove that having 100 whole numbers, one can choose 15 of them so that the difference of any two is divisible by 7. the answer is For the difference to be a multiple of 7, the integers must have equal modulo 7 residues. To avoid having 15 with the same residue, 14 numbers with different modulo 7 residues can be picked ($14 * 7 = 98$). Thus, two numbers are left over and have to share a modulo 7 residue with the other numbers under the pigeonhole principle. hi, can i just clarify that modulo 7 residues are essentially the remainder when divided by 7. im not sure why the answer states that we want to avoid having 15 with the same residue, wouldn't having 15 with the same residue imply that the difference of any two is divisible by 7?

thorny flameBOT
#

lalala

odd pagoda
#

its a proof by contradiction (more or less)

#

we are trying to our best to avoid getting those 15 differences

#

but we cant

long pollen
#

I need to derivate this, any help...?

topaz sinewBOT
long pollen
#

I have more derivates but I'm hella stuck here. 😭

lucid junco
#

⛓️

long pollen
# lucid junco ⛓️

I tried to do it by this one but for some reason, the solution of my friend says (-2b/x^3) at the second step, I don't know what he did or is he even right.

#

I also can't completely understand the chain rule. 😭

lucid junco
#

How would you differentiate (3x+1)^100

long pollen
lucid junco
#

Almost

long pollen
#

o

lucid junco
#

You are forgetting to multiply by the derivative of the inside

#

ie 3x+1

long pollen
#

Ah, that thing: 100(3x+1)^99 . d/dx (3x+1)?

quasi depot
#

yes

spare smelt
#

dy/dx = dy/du du/dx. The du's cancel, it's like a fraction

long pollen
#

So, for my case is:

3(a+b/x^2)^2 . d/dx (a+b/x^2)

#

Holy, I've never got like 3 users helping me at the same time, I appreciate it!

long pollen
#

Right?

#

Can someone remind me the command for the bot so I can easily type the exercise and my procedures? 😭

lucid junco
#

,w differentiate 1/x^2

lucid junco
copper sedge
#

In general $\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}[f(x)^n] = nf'(x)f(x)^{n-1}$

long pollen
# lucid junco How did you get bx^-1?

Uh... I don't know, I got an exercise done by the professor and it's pretty similar, he did this: ...d/dx (a-b/x) = (0 - d/dx b/x) = (-d/dx (bx^-1) = (bx^-1-1)

thorny flameBOT
lucid junco
#

It’s power rule

#

1/x^2 = x^-2

#

so use it on x^-2

long pollen
#

...d/dx (a+b/x^2) = (0 + d/dx (b/x^2))

#

= (+d/dx ?) 😭

lucid junco
#

What is d/dx (b/x^2)

#

You can rewrite b/x^2 as b(x^-2)

long pollen
#

Wha

flint cloak
#

[\rb{bx^{-2}}]

thorny flameBOT

#

Hi water beam

lucid junco
long pollen
lucid junco
long pollen
lucid junco
#

yes

#

What about x^10

long pollen
#

10x^9

lucid junco
#

yes

long pollen
#

Is this the power rule?

lucid junco
#

Yes

long pollen
#

||BRUH||

lucid junco
#

What about x^-2

lucid junco
long pollen
lucid junco
#

Yes

#

Or -2/x^3

lucid junco
long pollen
#

Ah, I see...

lucid junco
#

But remember it’s being multiplied by b

#

So it’s -2b / x^3

long pollen
#

Sorry for the delay, I was trying to understand how this works, now I know that is the differentiation rule.

long pollen
#

3(a+b/x^2) . (-2b/x^3)

lucid junco
#

You are forgetting the ^2

long pollen
#

3(a+b/x^2)^2 . (-2b/x^3)

My bad, ty!

#

So... Done? Or do I have to multiply.

lucid junco
#

You are done you leave it like that

#

If you want to make it nicer you can just move things around a bit and write it as

(-6b/x^3)(a + b/x^2)^2

long pollen
#

I wouldn't like to make it look like that I'm a professional, I can't even understand how derivates work. 😭

I'm doing a work of 9 derivates, I've done most of them but I'm missing 3, well, I was missing 2 with this one done. I'm missing the ones that have the circle, 36 & 38. Some classmates say that they are really hard, can you help me with these ones too? Please. 🙏

lucid junco
#

There are both chain rules as well

#

Start with 36

long pollen
#

And... I don't know what else to do. 😭

#

Nvm, I got them with my friend's help, thank you everyone!

idle fulcrum
#

Hi

topaz sinewBOT
idle fulcrum
#

Can somebody help me with my geometryt

#

it is really hard

#

for me

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

help me please

dusk bronze
#

This is a congruency case

#

Statements 1, 4 and 5 imply that SV and TV are congruent

#

Specifically this is the angle-side-angle case

idle fulcrum
#

oh ok I know i have to add a line and put cpctc

#

What do I put for hte statment though?

#

like traingle... is congruent to traingle...

dusk bronze
#

Yeah

idle fulcrum
#

The thing is I dont know what order because this ixl is so specific and i've been only getting that part wrong for soo long I have been working on this for 3 hours

dusk bronze
#

Understood

#

Maybe triangle SVW is congruent to triangle TVU first

#

then segment SV is congruent to segment TV

idle fulcrum
#

like this?

dusk bronze
#

Yeah that's basically it

idle fulcrum
#

ok

#

Yay it was right!

dusk bronze
#

Nice 😄

idle fulcrum
#

Im sorry I dont wanna waste your time but can you help mne with the rest of the Ixl?

#

Im at 75 percent

#

if you dont want to I understand

dusk bronze
#

Yeah idk if it's allowed
I'm not familiar with IXL since I'm Brazilian, so idk if it falls into the homework/exam rule

#

Are you doing a self-assessment or is this homework

idle fulcrum
#

Oh ok it is for practice for an upcoming exam my teacher didn't assign but I asked her for any reccomendation and she said this

dusk bronze
#

Oh alright

#

Sure then

idle fulcrum
#

I just dont get between the statement of SSS SAS AAS and ASA, I understand HL and CPCTC

#

my teacher didn't explain properly in my opinion

dusk bronze
#

Oh ok

idle fulcrum
#

you*

dusk bronze
#

thank you ig 😅

idle fulcrum
#

if you dont mind me asking what grade r u?

dusk bronze
#

10

idle fulcrum
#

oh ok two grades ahead of me

dusk bronze
#

Basically if some correspondent parts of two triangles are congruent, you can conclude that the triangles are congruent

idle fulcrum
#

Yea Understand that part

#

like here this is my next question

#

Im pretty sure I got to put Segment GF ius congruent to segment EF but Im not sure

#

Im stupid

#

Its already shown

dusk bronze
#

That's already what 4 says

#

Yeah

#

So you just have SSS here

#

And afterwards CPCTC

idle fulcrum
#

Ok and for the traingle part do I put FIG is congruent to EHF?

#

or FEH

dusk bronze
#

Yeah

#

I think either could be valid

idle fulcrum
#

ok

#

Just making sure because this IXL makes sure you put it in order so idk

dusk bronze
#

Oh ok

#

i don't tend to worry about order when writing for geometry so idk

idle fulcrum
#

ok

#

so like this?

dusk bronze
#

Seems about it

idle fulcrum
#

...I hate Ixl

dusk bronze
#

darn

idle fulcrum
#

Yea...Your lucky your in brazil cause US IS SO WIERD

#

by US I meant United states

dusk bronze
idle fulcrum
#

ok

dusk bronze
#

SAS here

idle fulcrum
#

ok and is it traingle WTX is congruent to triangle VUX?

dusk bronze
#

Mhm

#

As a tip you can check what congruencies are in previous statements
If three side congruencies, SSS
If two side congruencies and one angle congruency, SAS
If one side congruency and two angle congruencies, either AAS or ASA

idle fulcrum
#

so like this right?

dusk bronze
#

Seems about right

dusk bronze
#

Can't say for sure about order though

idle fulcrum
#

ok 🤞

dusk bronze
idle fulcrum
#

Yay it is right!

dusk bronze
#

Nice!

idle fulcrum
#

or I could be wrong idk

dusk bronze
#

I don't think that happens

#

Do you have an example

idle fulcrum
#

oh ok

#

Not rn but I am pretty sure ioone of my assignments in class did

#

one*

dusk bronze
#

Understood

idle fulcrum
#

alr.. Next problem is this

#

Im thinking it is Traingle XVY is congruent to Traingle VXW

dusk bronze
#

Right

#

Can you see what congruency type it is?

idle fulcrum
#

SSS?

dusk bronze
#

Yeah

idle fulcrum
#

alr

#

Jst making sujre

dusk bronze
#

Seems about it

idle fulcrum
#

It was right

dusk bronze
#

Yay

idle fulcrum
#

Im guessing you are doing college level math right?

#

If only I was smart as you 🫥

dusk bronze
#

Not really

idle fulcrum
#

Well you are still smart 😭

dusk bronze
#

High school math in Brazil is actually less advanced than in the USA

#

We used to have calc in High School but we don't anymore

idle fulcrum
#

So what r u doing rn?

#

Rn Im doing Alg 2 and Geometry

#

and im 8th

dusk bronze
#

I believe the current subject is related to Algebra ig

idle fulcrum
#

oh ok

dusk bronze
#

We're in arithmetic and geometric progressions

idle fulcrum
#

Oh ok

#

Nice

#

Anyways heres the next question

dusk bronze
#

But idk if you need to include that VX is congruent to UY

#

in this case it would be SSS again

idle fulcrum
#

Traingle TUY is congruent to traingle WXV?

dusk bronze
#

Yea

idle fulcrum
#

okie

dusk bronze
#

I do a scientific initiation program for mathematical olympiads in a nearby university so I get more cover on general math topics

dusk bronze
#

Really is

idle fulcrum
#

is it hard?

dusk bronze
#

Depends on the person

idle fulcrum
#

Would this work? △VXW≅△UYT

#

And idk how but I can somehow type these symbols

dusk bronze
dusk bronze
idle fulcrum
#

yea I

#

Do you play any games in your free time?

dusk bronze
#

Don't tend to much

#

But when I do I don't have a specific one anymore

#

I used to play Roblox quite a bit

idle fulcrum
#

Oh ok

dusk bronze
idle fulcrum
#

No it was TUY is congruent to WXV ):

dusk bronze
#

🙁

#

i agree that order is confusing

idle fulcrum
#

yea..

#

This is the next one

dusk bronze
#

goodness

idle fulcrum
#

yea... 😭

dusk bronze
#

But do you feel like you're getting the hang of it

idle fulcrum
#

Yea

dusk bronze
idle fulcrum
#

Is this SAS?

dusk bronze
#

Yup

idle fulcrum
#

Ok

dusk bronze
#

All good?

idle fulcrum
#

yea

dusk bronze
#

Do you think you can handle the rest using the tip?

#

I might have to go

rare moon
#

I was working on this problem yesterday. I've gotten through part a but this material has been difficult for me to pick up. I don't know how to approach part b

rare moon
#

I understand that a normal subgroup N is such that gNg^-1 = N, or maybe rather gng^-1 is a member of N

#

I haven't had enough practice with any of this to have any intuition on what that notion is useful for, or why it might be preserved by a homomorphism

#

I'm assuming this is not true for homomorphisms in general, so it's not immediately obvious to me if there's something special about this one or what it might be

#

if we say we have some normal subgroup N bar of G bar, we might say the map in part a sends it to N, a subgroup of G containing K, being the set of all the preimages of every element from N bar.

I suppose that we might prefer to say g bar * n bar * g bar^-1 is a member of N bar, and if that's true then I suppose the image of that product by this map should belong to N. the image being the preimage of it by phi. this is getting a little confusing, maybe

#

I understand that gng^-1 != n, in general; that would be centrality

#

but anyway, I would suppose the homomorphism property applies to this inverse map too, which might be useful

#

so we might say phi^-1(g bar) phi^-1(n bar) phi^-1(g bar^-1) belongs to N. I'm still assuming that all the normal homomorphism things work here, so phi^-1 of g bar and g bar^-1 should still be inverses. I don't know how imporant any of this is, but I want to have done my due dilligence of exploration

#

I don't know. this seems kind of obvious in the sense that I don't know what I can say about it. phi^-1(n bar) belongs to N, yeah? and I just said before g bar and g bar^-1 should still be inverses after the map, so is there any more to be said? I feel like I've gotta be missing something

#

aw this is getting all the attention now that I've closed it :p

#

I've been chatting with a friend about it, he's helped me flesh it out

pseudo sonnet
#

I haven’t really read your messages but it should be quick with the definitions

rare moon
#

yeah its nothing more than maniuplating definitions

#

so it seems, anyway

pseudo sonnet
#

sounds like you got it already :o

pseudo sonnet
#

that means you need to show that gBg^-1 = B for any g in G

#

but by definition, an element b is in B if phi(B) lives in B bar

#

so to show that gBg^-1 is a subset of B, you need to show that phi(gbg^-1) is in B bar for all b in B

#

but phi is a homomorphism and B bar is normal :p

#

so you’ll get it quickly from those

pseudo sonnet
#

also, the group structure for a quotient group is only well-defined when you're quotienting by a normal subgroup :p

#

hopefully this provides a little more motivation for why we defined these things

pseudo sonnet
#

I guess I'll close this now though, since you're done here giggle

hexed apex
#

when graphinh a rational function, how do i know where each asymptote goes

hexed apex
#

like you see how where they are is flipped between the 2 graphs, first left asmptote is at the bottom and the 2nd left asymptote is on the top

#

ANYONE please

#

@haughty drum

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

anybody

#

i actually need to know this now

#

i have a test in like 3 hours

fallen vector
#

I think this is Inverse proportionality

#

idk

hexed apex
#

no

#

its rational fucntions

fallen vector
#

Ok i check

hexed apex
#

and graphing them

hexed apex
#

u see how the graphs are flipped kinda

#

how do iknow when to do each one

torpid shard
#

If its higher than your horizontal asymtote, then it goes up
If its lower, then down

#

Since I doubt you know how to evaluate limits in this case

hexed apex
#

its basically just looking at the equation i should be able to tell some how

torpid shard
#

Either on paper or in your head

hexed apex
#

chat gpt was talking about how the a value has to be like greater than 0 or what not

torpid shard
#

hexed apex
#

ok then tell me

#

cus i got no one to ask

torpid shard
#

Imagine you know the asymptote is at x = 2

hexed apex
#

yeah i know

#

that

#

like how to find that by looking at it

torpid shard
#

Getting the roots of the lower function

#

Supposing it doesnt neatly divide the top function

hexed apex
#

zeroes of the denominator = VA

#

and f(x)=0 = HA

#

yeah

#

ik how to find those

#

can i use those to tell how my asymptotes gonna look? like if the left side is gonna be above or under

#

like ykwim

torpid shard
#

Yes

hexed apex
#

how

torpid shard
#

Again, example, if you know the asymptote is at x = 2

#

Try calculating the whole formula at x = 1 and x =3

#

aka, one at the left and one at the right

torpid shard
hexed apex
#

sorry i meant

#

that was y intercept i got it mixed up

#

HA is if the top degree is higher than the bottom degree = oblique

#

if its the same then divide the coeffiencients

#

and if the bottom degree is higher, y=0

hexed apex
#

thats confusing

#

wait i dont understand

torpid shard
#

Suppose this:

#

$f(x) = \frac{x}{x+2}$

thorny flameBOT
#

∫ᴄ 𝐅·𝑑𝑟 = ∬ʀ ∇⨯𝐅 𝑑𝐴

torpid shard
#

This function has asymptotic behaviour at x = -2

#

And it has Horizontal Asymptote at y = 1 (you dont really need to know this)

#

If you evaluate at x = -3 and x = -1 (one at the left, one at the right)

#

you get

#

$f(-3) = \frac{-3}{-3+2}=\frac{-3}{-1}=3, \f(-1) = \frac{-1}{-1+2}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1$

thorny flameBOT
#

∫ᴄ 𝐅·𝑑𝑟 = ∬ʀ ∇⨯𝐅 𝑑𝐴

torpid shard
#

So x=-3 is above the horizontal (it goes up)
x = -1 is below the horizontal (goes down)

#

And this is how x/x+2 looks like

hexed apex
#

and why do we spicifically sub in -1 and -3? @torpid shard

torpid shard
#

just because its one on the left and one on the right

#

the VA is at x = -2

#

-2 - 1 = -3
-2 + 1 = -1

hexed apex
#

oh so u sub -1 and -3 cus its before and after

#

yeah

#

wai

#

so were subbing it into the va but then comparing it to the HA?

torpid shard
#

and then checking if the result is above or below the HA

elder sentinel
#

can someone explain this to me i dont get how question 1 = T

lethal anchor
#

look at the y axis on the left

raven field
lethal anchor
#

and also look at the line segments

#

which (red) line segment covers 65 kms?

#

for example, P covers 40 kms so it cannot be that

elder sentinel
#

but also S is 65 is it not?

lethal anchor
#

no

#

S covers 0 kms bcuz they dont move

#

they stopped moving at that point

elder sentinel
#

oh

raven field
#

How about trying to represent it on one axis, it would simplify the idea

lethal anchor
#

yeah the time axis is not really relevant here

elder sentinel
#

wait so how is it T then?

lethal anchor
elder sentinel
#

oh is it cs T goes to 65km?

#

at the top?

lethal anchor
#

na

#

T covers 65 kms

elder sentinel
#

oh

lethal anchor
#

what is the length of the green line

elder sentinel
#

65km

lethal anchor
#

there u go

elder sentinel
#

ohh

#

for these are connected

#

to that

lethal anchor
#

ii i already kinda answered for you earlier lol

elder sentinel
#

where

lethal anchor
#

i mean think about it

#

which line segment doesnt cover new distance

#

it doesnt change locations

elder sentinel
#

what does that mean?

#

it it moved i hour wouldnt it be T again?

mild saddle
#

does OP still need help? if yes, where is OP at atm?

elder sentinel
mild saddle
#

then please consider the second question too

#

(aka, where are you atm? which question?)

elder sentinel
#

im on question 2

mild saddle
#

what do you understand about the question, and what do you understand about the graph?

elder sentinel
#

i understand that Monica stopped for 1 hour but i dont get where and how

mild saddle
#

then what do you understand about the graph?

elder sentinel
#

what do u mean?

mild saddle
#

exactly what I said - what do you understand by looking at the graph? what does it tell you?

elder sentinel
#

that its 20km per hour

mild saddle
#

the graph doesn't directly tell you the speed of Monica

#

(nor does it matter)

#

look at the axes of the graph (the horizontal and vertical lines on the sides of the graph)

elder sentinel
#

uh that it goes up by 20

#

10*

#

km

#

im not sure

mild saddle
#

alright, then maybe we need to walk through what the graph actually means

#

the bottom part (called the x-axis) is usually the value that we can manipulate, or the independent value.
in this case, time is the independent value because it's down there

#

the left part (called the y-axis) is usually the value that changes according to the independent value.
in this case, it's Monica's distance from her house

#

so what this graph is really showing is the relationship between time, and how far Monica is from her house

#

or in other words, how far Monica is from her house at any given time

#

do you agree or understand?

elder sentinel
#

i understand

mild saddle
#

cool. so let's test your understanding

#

refer to the graph. how far is Monica is from her house at 10am?

elder sentinel
#

20km?

arctic minnow
#

Yeah

elder sentinel
mild saddle
#

oops, sorry, but yes

#

now, let's tackle the line itself

#

if the line is sloping upwards, what does that tell you about Monica's movement?

#

what if it's going down?

elder sentinel
#

that its a hill?

#

im not sure

mild saddle
#

not exactly

#

remember that the higher the line goes, the higher the distance between Monica and her house

#

so if the line is going upwards, it must then make sense that Monica is moving away from her house. agreed?

elder sentinel
#

yeah

mild saddle
#

so what if it's going down instead?

#

what will Monica be doing then?

elder sentinel
#

going closer to home?

mild saddle
#

fantastic!

#

so if an upwards line means that Monica is moving away from home, and a downwards line means that Monica is moving towards home, then what does a perfectly flat line mean?

elder sentinel
#

that shes not moving any further away from home?

#

its the same?

mild saddle
#

in other words, she stopped moving. agreed?

elder sentinel
#

yeah

mild saddle
#

now look at question (ii)

#

can you now translate that statement into what you would expect to see on the graph?

#

to help you a little bit, one small block is 30 minutes

elder sentinel
#

so it would just move 2 blocks over since its 1 hour?

mild saddle
#

2 blocks is correct. but do you expect to see an upwards, downwards, or flat line?

elder sentinel
#

a flat line

mild saddle
#

good!

#

so all this question is asking is, where on the graph is a flat line spanning 2 blocks horizontally?

elder sentinel
#

so its S?

mild saddle
#

yup!

#

well done!

#

can you do (iii) as well?

elder sentinel
#

thank you that makes sense

#

would it be Q ?

#

since 40km is where Q is

mild saddle
#

nope

#

look at the question again. they want you to find where Monica is moving away from her house

elder sentinel
#

ohhh

mild saddle
#

(in fact, look at the distance: she's going from 40km to 65km away from her house)

#

line Q is where she's stopped for half an hour, so that's a no-go for sure

elder sentinel
#

so its R as 40km is q and its 15km from Q to R which makes 65?

#

so its R?

mild saddle
#

R is correct! not so much because it's 15km from Q to R (the distance is 25km), but because R starts at 40km, and ends at 65km; exactly what the question wants.

elder sentinel
#

oh right.

#

25km my bad.

#

but if it was 40km away couldnt it just be T again?

mild saddle
#

what did we say a downward line represents?

elder sentinel
#

oh.

#

going closer to home

mild saddle
#

plus, T is Monica travelling 65km to home

#

so that definitely won't fly

elder sentinel
#

oh

#

makes sense

#

do u hve time to go over these short answer questions connected to the same question?

mild saddle
#

sure thing

#

give it a shot yourself first though

#

(iv) should be clear by now

elder sentinel
#

for iv would it be 4pm?

mild saddle
#

no

#

4pm is when Monica reaches home

elder sentinel
#

Oh so its when she starts going back home?

mild saddle
#

yes. the question implies this by asking for the time she turned around

elder sentinel
#

how do u know that she turns around to go back home?

mild saddle
#

because the graph starts going down

elder sentinel
#

so it would be 1:30pm

mild saddle
#

that's why you need to know how to interpret the graph

#

1:30pm is correct

mild saddle
elder sentinel
#

so for V how do we know the total distance

#

?

mild saddle
#

well, this is quite simple

#

how far does Monica travel away from home?

#

(hint: what is the furthest distance she ever travels from home?)

elder sentinel
#

65km ?

mild saddle
#

excellent

#

so now, if she travels that far away from home, to return home, how far more does she have to travel?

elder sentinel
#

65km again?

mild saddle
#

yep

#

so the total distance would be?

elder sentinel
#

130km

#

?

mild saddle
#

absolutely

#

note that it doesn't matter how long Monica took to cycle those 130km

#

it doesn't even matter she stopped to take a break at Q

#

all that matters is that she covered 65km on the way out and 65km more on the way back

#

because we're asked for the total distance

elder sentinel
#

okay that makes alot of sense

#

for for question vi would it be 10:30 and 3pm

#

?

mild saddle
#

yes

elder sentinel
#

for question vii how can u tell which is faster

mild saddle
#

have you learnt about the concept of gradient/slope?

elder sentinel
#

No

mild saddle
#

then the way we do it will not use the word directly, but it is the same spirit as calculating the gradients of those two lines

#

what grade is this, btw, if I may ask?

elder sentinel
#

year 8

mild saddle
#

I see

#

alright, so let's tackle P first

#

before that though, do you know what the units of speed are?

elder sentinel
#

kind of

#

not really

mild saddle
#

when you're in a car, how would you describe how fast it's going?

#

in numbers*

elder sentinel
#

uh km/hour

mild saddle
#

excellent

#

so this number describes how many kilometers an object covers in an hour

#

so it makes sense for us to use it here

#

now, let's take line P

#

in the journey described by line P, how far did Monica travel, and how long did Monica take to travel that distance?

elder sentinel
#

40km/3 hr?

mild saddle
#

you overcounted the number of hours

elder sentinel
#

20km/1hr

#

40km/2hr

mild saddle
mild saddle
#

now, do the same for line R

elder sentinel
#

25km/1hr

#

?

mild saddle
#

is that 2 blocks or 3?

#

oh ok 2

#

correct

#

now can you tell which journey was faster?

elder sentinel
#

line R as it did more km per hour?

mild saddle
#

yup, also known as a higher speed

#

now, keep this concept of (horizontal difference) divided by (vertical distance) in mind

#

in general, this value is called the gradient, or slope, of the graph in that amount of time/space/whatever is in the x-axis
