Is derivative of continuous functions always continuous ?
nope
ima try to think of one, but these are a pain to come up with
(ik the answer is no, though)
But by the characterization of differentiation there exist g(x) which is continuous so that f'(x)=g(x)
oh wait wait wait
Well ok
First of all
the derivative of a continuous function need not even exist at every point
You are aware of this right?
f(x) = |x| is continuous but not differentiable at 0
Yepp
But even if it does exist, I believe it need not be continuous
thinking.......
I think the lurkers in #calculus are usually good with coming up with examples for stuff like this
Oh and another point is, continuity is a necessary condition for a derivative to exist
So the question is better phrased as 'can we have a non-continuous derivative'
Yeah
which allow examples like this
I'm unsure, you can try in #calculus or #real-complex-analysis

Hey, I need help with understanding this questio
How would G look if it's a subset of a product( which is made up of tuples?)
G_0={(g,1_G’):g from G}
And G_0’={(1_G,g’):g’ from G’}
I mean like how do you know the identity is part of every tuple
We just know
Now it’s given to you you can check whether they satisfy the condition now
wait but i only know because you told me though
I told you so you didn’t come up with it yourself, but you can still check it
Check it satisfies the condition
Haha, you were doing this yesterday too. "But how would I have come up with the proof"?
It might be kind of unsatisfying, but yeah they show these proofs to you with the intention that you wouldn't have necessarily come up with it yourself
It doesn’t matter.Me giving you the results is not different from you being given those results directly from the question. You can just pretend like the question gave you those and asked you to verify the properties
oh yeah i was just saying that because like if this was an exam question, how would i know that?
Yeah verify that
Verify G times G’ is the direct product of its two normal subgroups G_0 and G_0’
You will know that when you see it in exam next time
Since you have seen it before
I mean now, you have seen it, you can’t undo that. So next time you will also know this
Yeah
well for property 1, (g,1_G') * (1_G,g') = (g,g') and that's an element of GxG'
Property 2 (trivial intersection) is also simple since G_0={(g,1_G’):g from G}
And G_0’={(1_G,g’):g’ from G’}
The only element that's possible in both has to be in both G_0 and G_0'
which is (1_G,1_G')
property 3 essentially using fact that they are both normal subgroups so
Yeah
(g1,1_G') * (1_G,g2') = (g1,g2') = (1_G,g2') * (g1,1_G')
and that's it i guess? you can switch around stuff(commute) due to the normal condition
Yeah
ah ok that was simpler than i expected then
It is
Thanks

does it just mean not symmetric?

@onyx light Has your question been resolved?
It’s antisymmetric I believe
It’s not just “not symmetric”, it is much stronger than that - it says that there does not exist any distinct a,b such that aRb and bRa.

how is x-y the square root [(x+y)²-4xy] ?
when we expand (x-y)^2 using the identity
don't we get x^2 - 2xy + y^2?
Expand (x+y)^2
x^2 + 2xy + y^2
x^2 + y^2 - 2xy
Yeah but
And we got x^2-2xy+y^2.
Go ahead.
Exactly.
but isn't (x+y)^2 = x^² + 2xy + y^2
It is
we're using x^2 + y^2 here
Sure.
?
What?
So both of them are the same?
Sakata Yaksha
Is correct.
I understand this now
Good.
But doesn't this go wrong because (a+b)^2 isn't a^2+b^2
It is not, when did we say (a+b)^2 is a^2+b^2?
We said (a+b)^2 -4ab is same as (a-b)^2, don't forget that -4ab.
ah
Also wait what man what?
$$(3m+6)^2 \neq 9m^2+36$$

Can someone help me solve a doubt?
I have these two samples:
$$ Sample1: (OK=90, KO=10) $$
$$ Sample2: (OK=86, KO=14) $$
I tried to assess with 95 percent probability whether the two accuracy rates (OK/(KO+OK)) are significantly different.
To do that, I did
$$ T=0.9-0.86 = 0.04 $$
$$ \sigma p = \sqrt{\frac{0.9\cdot 0.1}{100} + \frac{0.86 \cdot 0.14}{100}} = 0.01450517149 $$
$$ t = \frac{0.04-0}{0.01450517149} = 2.757637166 $$
$$ t > z{0.025} = 1.96 $$
So I can accept with 95 percent confidence that the two rates are significantly different.
alber848
I then tried to come to the same conclusions using a Fisher exact test
Which lead to these results
Now, my p-value here is 0.5146 and would lead me to reject the hypothesis of the two rates being significantly different... is this normal??
Am I doing something wrong or is this huge difference due to the fact that I have very little sample sizes? (100 for each sample)
Can someone confirm me the fisher exact test p-value result essentially?

did u watch it?
Yes
its so trolls
Still up
huh what is that formula you are using? Its wrong
🤔
What’s the correct one?
Are you sure it’s wrong? 🤔
I think it’s right
those sum to 1100 and in text says n=1000
no its not
(300,700), (360,640)
The prop.test test statistic is
so idk what you are complaining about
A chi-square test for equality of two proportions is exactly the same thing as a z-test.
That’s exactly what I used…..
Also no
Yes it is
Anyways, this is wrong
no its not
This is right
Yes it is
?
How exactly do you think its wrong? Clearly the difference between an exact test and z-test should not be that different (100 is also a big size)
If that was the case clearly theory is broken
And I suggest you try googling before claiming false stuff like this
I have it right here straight from the slides
This is a chi squared test which yield different results from the normal test but similar result to the fisher test
no
And indeed you got different results from the normal test
And similar results to the fisher test
.
Bro sorry I’m gonna trust my professor with over 40 years of experience in the field over you….
Do the same using this formula
You will see that the results aren’t the same from what you sent
,w sqrt((0.9)*0.1/100+(0.86)*0.14/100)
the problem is you can't calculate
and I am right which you would also see if you googled
and that R is build by a lot of stat people, so trusting R over professor should actually be better
(and am studying stats myself and have been a TA in several stat courses in my uni)
0.04...=0.01... in your mind?

could you spot what im doing wrong here? I cant find why its wrong
you want to simply [ \left(1+\frac x8\right)^{-\frac12} ?]
Lance
yeah through binomial expansion
as in through the (1+x)^n equation
the second section is supposed to be
but i keep getting 5x^2 no matter what
where does the 1.2 come from again?
\[ 1 \cdot 2 \ne 1.2 \]

stochastic calc question (Ito integral) - how does one compute: dW^4(t) - is this just the 4th derivate of W(t) using F(t,W(t)) in the ito-doeblin formula?
@wispy portal Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
hmm - no love for stochastic calc? everyone on spring break? 🙂
I think am just confused by the notation... dW^4(t) is this the same as d( W(t)^4 ) ? so really its the derivative of the function W(t)^4 ?

tried brute force and got:
best ans is a = 4, b = 4, u = 4, ans = 112.
any non-brute force way?

At least I can make that list shorter
That expression is symmetric we can just assume that u<=a<=b
Got it. That sum equals 72+uab-(u^2+a^2+b^2)/2
Now notice that if u,a,b are not equal, so (4,4,4), then there must be two of them whose differences has absolute value greater than 1
so when (u,a,b) doesn’t equal (4,4,4) then say u-a>=2, then uab can be greater: (u-1)a(b+1)
Similarly u^2+a^2+b^2 can be smaller, (u-1)^2+(a+1)^2+b^2=u^2+a^2+b^2+2(1+a-u)<u^2+a^2+b^2
So uab is greatest and u^2+a^2+b^2 is smallest iff u=a=b=4
This is because 144= (u+a+b)^2=u^2+a^2+b^2+2(ua+ab+ub)

hm the symmetry gave me an idea for an easier way
@hidden ridge have you learned about the AM-GM inequality?
(if you still need help)
(essentially that the geometric mean of some numbers is at most equal to their arithmetic mean)
here, the three “numbers” are (u+1), (a+1), and (b+1)
another nice fact is that the geometric mean equals the arithmetic mean when all of the numbers are the same
so here, it would be when u+1=a+1=b+1
and that would mean they’re all 5 in this case
so u=a=b=4 which is what you found
Just use this
But seems he didn’t read it or he doesn’t want to
It doesn’t help you if you refuse to take a look at what people answered you right.
If x+y=k then xy=x(k-x) are maximum when x=k/2, so when (u,a,b) doesn’t equal (4,4,4), then there exists two of them whose difference is greater than or equal to 2, for example u-a>=2, then uab<(u-1)(a+1)b
and u^2+a^2+b^2>(u-1)^2+(a+1)^2+b^2 this case
So if (u,a,b) doesn’t equal (4,,4,4), uab could be bigger and u^2+a^2+b^2 could be smaller
And that sum you are looking for =72+uab-(u^2+a^2+b^2)/2
You understand the fact I used? That (u,a,b) doesn’t equal (4,4,4) then there always exists two of them whose difference is greater than or equal to 2? Because you can’t find s such that s+s+(s+1)=3s+1=12 or s-1+s+s=3s-1=12. So you can’t find (u,a,b) such that the maximum of their differences is 1, it’s either 0 or greater than 1
i think this is close to one of the lemmas used in proving the AM-GM inequality actually
sorry 😅 i thought i would offer a different solution that was less from-scratch. i get kinda freaked out when i see a whole bunch of expressions and reasoning
well, there are various ways to prove AM-GM
i learned cogwheels' method as a sturm-type method, and that's indeed one of the ways to prove AM-GM
He is just weird. He ignored me last time too. He just won’t take a look, and doesn’t ask back if anything I said he doesn’t understand. Last time he asked a number theory question, Mat confirmed my thought and we worked out the solution he ignored that too
That only 2,4,8,2p doesn’t divide A(m) thing
@hidden ridge mousie 
wdym "less from scratch"... if that's the case then one should always prove the AM > GM > HM, Jensen's, cauchy, and all before applying it!?
You saw non-negative, and you did the right thing... it was a totally different scenario if your equality holding gave you non-integer solutions for u, a, b but that doesn't seem to be the case here
so be confident smh
woops i think i read cogwheel’s comment wrong
thought they were talking about me not reading their work
thanks lmao

Theres infinite solutions, not a great question
do you want one solution or you want a way to represent all of them?
One solution
One solution
If I made the weight of herb 1 x and weight of herb 2 y
okay pick any number of kilos of herb 1, find the price of that, find out how much more the mixture is, then find out how many kilos of herb2 that is
And made them equal so it’ll be 1.8x = 1.6y
And made an equation for the mixture where its 56 = 1.8x + 1.6y
Then solved simultaneously
Would that worK?
@torpid matrix
Sorry I had an exam and I question similar to this came up and now im paranoid if I did it correctly or if I messed up
1.8x + 1.6y = 56 is the price formula, the number of kilos would be (x+y) for any (x,y) solution to that
so if you got that, then yes
But the part were I made 1.8x = 1.6y is that right?
if 1.8x = 1.6y that would imply the final mixture is half herb 1 and half herb 2 by price
1.8x is the price of x kilos of herb 1, and 1.6y is the price of y kilos of herb 2
so by setting them equal to each other the prices of the herbs have to be the same
Ah k so that’d be wrong right
if thats how the problem was written, then yes
that constraint gives you a solution but it doesnt give you all of them
By a solution you mean a weight for herb 1 and herb 2 correct?
yes
So if you were to find all the solutions, there would be multiple masses of herb 1 and herb 2 could be right which can satisfy the mixture solution
yes
If I worded the question like “If herb 1 is sold at 3.8 dollars per kilo and herb 2 is sold at 2.5 dollars per kilo, and their mixture is sold 2.8 dollars per kilo, what mass if each was present in the mixture?”
Would that make a difference to the solution
Or would there still be multiple
that would not be possible, because thats more expensive than either of them
Sorry how about now

Split the force at an angle into components
Is it the U and R?
Ok it 8.91R+12.54U
Now add them into a single vector
15.38?
And the angle?
It 83.54?
But idk
It shouldn’t come out so high
Can you send a photo of your working
To get the angle take the arctan of the quotient of your vector components
I dont the words
54.6?
Yes
Also, when calculating these use more decimal places to avoid rounding errors
???
?
???
Idk im confused
Ok
Let’s start from the beginning
Split the force at an angle into components
Using sin and cos
- Add the upwards vector
- Use tan-1 to find the angle of the resultant vector
- Use Pythagoras theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant vector
- 8.91R +12.54U
- 54.6
- 15.3831
Add more sig figs in step 1 and 2 because you are subbing values back into trig functions
And add units
Idk the unites it is not given
The units of the angle is given
The circle thing?
So it 54.9。 and 15
Yeah
So is right?

[3 k 2 ]
[0 (-3-k/3) -3h-2/3]
Not sure what I do from here
So, an augmented matrix has 1 solution if it can be reduced to the identity with any vector in the right most column, it has no solutions if it has a row of zeros with a non-zero term in the right most column, and infinite solutions if it has a zero row
one solutions

hello i need help with my homework. if you threw a rock straight up it would be h(t)=20t-4,9t^2.....t is seconds and h is height. the question is how fast is the rock after 1 sec and 3 sec. how high did the rock go. and how fast was it at h=10 m
To get to Valhalla you need to take initiative! consider the deriative!

yes
thought it said what time was it at h=10
ohh sorry i probably confused you
i have to find what speed the rock has at 1 and 3 seconds
Brothers, lay down your weapons! for with the derivative you can calculate the maximum height in seconds !
how high the rock got in total
Brother in Christ, don't listen to this heathen and cut down Odin's tree in order of the Bishop!
and what speed it had at h=10m
😬
the height h in meters is the first line below
h(t)=20t-4,9t^2
t=seconds
h'(t) = speed
A) find the speed after 1,0 seconds and after 3,0 seconds
B) how high did the rock go
C) what was the speed of the rock at h=10 m
for C): We know that the only variable in h(t) is time. We also know that h(t) is distance, and the derivative of distance is velocity. So h'(t) is velocity (but in this case, we can just say it's speed). We know that the rock is at height=10 at some certain time. So if we set h(t) to 10 and solve for t, we'll know the value of t for when the rock is at height 10. If we know the time its at and we know what the function h'(t) looks like, then we can say: at the time t we found at height 10, if we use that time in h'(t), then h'(t) will be the speed of the rock at that time. Since that's the time when height=10, we thus know that the speed of the rock at h=10 is whatever we find for h'(t) when we plug in the value we find for t into h'(t)
**for A): ** We know that h'(t) is speed. We have h(t): our original function. Since h'(t) is the derivative of h(t), we find h'(t) by taking the derivative of h(t). Then, the speed after 1.0 seconds is when we plug t=1 seconds into our h'(t) speed function, since if we do that we'll find the speed (which is h'(t) ) at time=1 seconds. We do the same thing for t=3 seconds. There will be two answers since there's a speed for t=1 seconds and a speed for t=3 seconds
**for B): ** I'm guessing the question is referring to time=1 seconds and time=3 seconds when it asks "how high did it go". We have a function for height: it's h(t) ! So if we plug in time = 1 seconds into h(t), we'll find the height of the rock when time=1 seconds. Similarly, if we plug in time=3 seconds into h(t), we'll find the height of the rock when time=3 seconds.
can you give me the anwser to 3 seconds on A just so that i know i understood my method
i solved for 1 sec but im not sure if its right
like could you show how you would solve 3 sec
is $h(t)=20t-4 + 9{t^2}$
quevorak
i was just a little confused by what h(t) was bc you wrote it with a comma (h(t)=20t-4,9t^2). wanna make sure i'm using the right equation
yes thats correct
quevorak
glad it helped
but like i got the answer h=5.3
is that the speed?
or is that the height
im guessing the height
but now to find the speed at 3 seconds i have to do what exactly?
sorry for being dumb asf btw lmao
find h'(t) when t = 3 since h'(t) is our function for speed
find h’(t) my guy and sub those values in. and how did the rock go is the max point. find x where h’(x) =0 and sub that x in h(x)
h’(t) is the differential of h(t) with respect to t

In the figure below AM is three times longer than MD. CD is 10cm. How to find AB? 🤔
you can prove that MCD and AMB are similar triangles
How would you prove it?
They have the same angles
@sick mulch Because both triangles are right triangles, you only need to prove that two angles of them match
I was first thinking of Pythagoras, but that did't work out
Angle A and D is 90
M is on the A and D line, that means they are equal?
yeah the angle at M is the same for both triangles
What is the reason for that? Cuz, they are on the same line?
If two lines intersect they form 2 pairs of opposite angles
vertical angles are congruent?
So when I have proved that the same triangles, I can then just multiply by the ratio. This means that AB = 10cm * 3? So when I have proved that the same triangles, I can then just multiply by the ratio. This means that AB = 10cm * 3? 🤔

in my video game I have 8 different boxes, out of the 8, there are 3 boxes that contain special things what I want.
If I can choose 5 at random, what is the chances that I 2 that I want?
And the chnance that I get all 3 that I wanted?
There is no double getting, so chance to get what I want is 3/8,
Then to get my next box the chance of that is 2/7 ?
Then to get the last box is 1/6?
But I get 5 chances so maybe it's like
I'm stuck because like, if I don't get the box on one try then it's like
3/8 * 3/7
but if i do get the box it's like 3/8 * 2/7
so how does it work I have to construct like a few different probability trees then add it together or something
hint: if i have exactly 2 special boxes, then how many ways are there to 'choose' these 2 special boxes out of 3? and how many ways are there to 'choose' the 3 non-special boxes out of the 5?
if it's for a videogame, you can always run a quick simulation, should be easy enough to program :)
is it: 3 choose 2, meaning 3 different ways?
3 choose 1
ok so how many ways are there total that let us pick 2 special boxes?
i forget how to do it the short cut way but in writing way you have to tally it like:
yes, yes, no, no, no
yes, no, yes, no, no
yes, no, no, yes, no
like that for all the total ways of getting my 2 special boxes in my 5 tries
no i mean
oh its not my video game, it's a video game im playing and i wanted to know what's my chances of winning xD
ah lmao
how many ways are there total that let us pick 2 special boxes out of our drawn 5
you've already calculated the number of ways to rearrange the special and non-special boxes
i guess 5 choose 2?
ok i'm still not clear enough i guess :(
how many ways of choosing 5 out of 8 boxes are there that suffice your question?
im not smart enough i forgot
notice that such a choice has a unique choice of having selected 2 special boxes and 3 non-special boxes
ya
8 choose 2 * 8 choose 3
like that for how many different ways we can have a combination of total 5 boxes where 2 is the specail one and 3 is a normal one
28 * 56 = 1568
oh ya that makes sense
3 * 10 = 30
and then the number of ways to choose 5 boxes is 8 choose 5
yup
you got it
do you think you can do the 3 special box case now?
i think so
there is only 1 way to get all 3 boxes (3 choose 3)
and then there is 5 non-special boxes and you choose 2 ( 5 choose 2)
for a total of 5 boxes chosen
and that's 1 * 10 = 10
and out of the 5 boxes chosen from the 8 (8 choose 5 = 56)
so the probability to get all 3 special boxes is 10/56
which is 17.8%
yup! now please stand by for me to write a simple program for this :)
okay
import random
trials = 10 ** 6
successes = 0
for i in range(trials):
choice = random.sample(range(8), 5)
successes += sum(box < 3 for box in choice) == 2
print(successes / trials)
0.534463
so for a million trials (at this point just loop through all possible samples lol) the probability seems to be roughly 0.534463 to get exactly 2 special boxes
yay okay
and the probability to get at least 2 is 0.714414
(the expected probability was 0.714286)
so we've probably done everything correctly
comb(inatorics) is always a bit of fiddling :(

When integrating using horizontal strips, we were taught that to get the area it is right function-left function. What is the right function in this case? The blue or the green line?
In this graph, it is quite obvious that the right function is the red line (quadratic)
There are two right functions, which means that you have to separate the region into 2 regions
Yes, the red one is the right function, but there are 2 left functions
separate into two regions... hmm how do i that..?
@grand wing Has your question been resolved?
The region can be separated as 0 < y < 5 and -1 < y < 0. Notice how the right curve is different on these two intervals. Find the equation for the right curve on each of these intervals.

hi
from the first equation, you subtract y
then you get x=xy-y
and then you can group the right side of the equation to make it simpler, each element has y, so you can write it as y(x-1)
you "isolate" y, and then multiply it with the other elements
does it make sense?
why xy-y
because you subtracted y from both sides, so you could get x
ok

How to solve this question?
tangent 45 = opposite/10
tan (45+15) = (x+opposite)/10
and tangent 45 is actually = sqrt(3)
sorry im still not sure what to do from there
tangent 45 = opposite/10
opposite = 10 tan 45
opposite = 10
tan (45+15) = (x+opposite)/10
x + opposite = 10 tan 60
x + 10 = 10 tan 60
x = 10 tan 60 - 10
since tan 45 = sqrt(3)
x = 10 sqrt(3) - 10
x = 10(sqrt(3)-1)

use 2*theta/2 = theta to link back to cos theta. Then either you know the half-angle formula or you prove it using the double angle formula and the pythagorean identity to express cos theta = cos(2*theta/2) in a way that can be solved for cos(theta/2)

Hi can someone please tell me what I did wrong at 3h the answer is (x+4.5)^2 - 22.25 how did they get -22.25 I got -42.25
Oh okay thanks! because I went through multiple of these questions and I basically copy pasted the formula but for some reason the book said i was wrong! But thanks for the confirmation have a good day bye!

mostly makes sense. Could use some sentences.
I also don't know why you indexed your alphas in M?
Ok thanks
Oh yeah i did that to show it's a square matrix of size n but i guess it could suggest that the alphas are of different values so I will change that
just write out that M has whatever dimensions. Use sentences.
Even so, I'm not so sure about that assertion
that M is matrix aI
You should justify why this is necessarily the case.

Is the convergence interval for my series all real numbers?
I have been trying to work it out for some time now, this is the maclaurin series (i hope at least) for e^(-x^2)
I did the ratio test and got lim k->infinity (-x^2)/(k+1)
my question is, does this allow x to be anything?

How would you decode encrypted ciphertext without the key "K" or the decoded message "p". Like all I have is the encrypted message "c" that needs to be used to figure out the key to decrypt them
i'm guessing you'd probably have to use the fact that the plaintext is actual readable text and not just nonsense
no, i mean the plaintext
I don't have that as far as I know
i know that
oh alright go on, sorry
but you're trying to get it
right
if you end up getting plaintext that clearly doesn't make any sense, then you've probably got the wrong key
ye
this does look potentially a bit difficult because it doesn't look like there's a straightforward way to do simple frequency analysis ("this letter is the most common so it's probably e"), but if they're asking you to do this then there are probably enough patterns in plaintext to find the same patterns in the ciphertext and then use that to work out what's going on
So what should some of my first steps be, like I'm just not sure how to start looking as you described it
how big are the ciphertexts that they've given you?
really big
I can just provide a line
and the other thing though with what you said isn't the encrypted text going to be multiplied by the inverse of the key anyway, like would determining a frequent letter in the key not always correspond to say e as you say.
hmmmm
based on the description i think the same pair in the plaintext should be mapped to the same pair in the ciphertext
so if you can find common pairs that might be useful
based on the description, the method is given
you're supposed to be able to c×Kinv mod 27 and it will instantly work
we don't have K
finding common pairs of letters the same as pairs in the encrypted text you mean?
yes sorry
well if the plaintext is ABCDAB, that should be mapped to something like XYZWXY - the same pair was mapped to the same thing
so if we find pairs that are common in the encrypted text, that tells us that they were also common in the plaintext
How would you know it should be mapped to something like that?, or is that just a random example
well it's not going to be those exact letters, but that structure
AB always maps to the same thing
right
so like while looking for pairs in the encrypted text what would I do with them?, like if I just took a small amount of the encrypted text
well presumably write down the frequencies
depending on how much text there is it might be easier (if you're allowed to do this) to just get a computer to count up the frequencies instead of doing it by hand, but either way: go through enough of the ciphertext to reasonably expect to see patterns, and look at which pairs are more common
its like ~2766 pairs of two letters
