bleak edge
#

What is the remainder when $31^{70} + 211^{49}$ is divided by 342

woven radishBOT
#

Damnatio Odiosis

bleak edge
#

I have tried a bit of fermats little theorem and a basic number theory approach, but that doesnt seem to be working

stone stump
#

hmm maybe try it first mod the factors of 342 and then CRT?

bleak edge
#

hm, one sec

#

what i notice is 341 (predecessor) is exactly 31 x 11 and also a pseudoprime

#

maybe that can help in connecting the remainders with 342

stone stump
#

I dont know any theorems which connects those to each other

bleak edge
#

(a+1)^n always gives a remainder of 1 when divided by a

#

maybe this

#

there are two more with (a-1)

stone stump
#

well yes ok I meant more a theorem of the form mod a tells us something about mod a+1. cause it seemed like you wanted to use that

#

Can I take {4,4} as a subset of A={1,2,3,4}?

sonic smelt
#

Yeah, {4} is a subset of {1, 2, 3, 4}

restive river
#

yee

#

{4,4} is just the set of {4} because sets are unique collections

idk in what circc umstance you would even start with {4,4} tbh

If

z^2 + 2z = a + 0i

(z^2 + 2z is real, therefore the imaginary part is 0i.)

then

(8a + 8)i

can be set equal to zero to solve for a.

8a + 8 = 0

a = -1.

umbral roost
#

How would you go about solving this?

devout snowBOT
supple knot
pseudo basin
#

you are given enough info to reconstruct what T does to any vector in R^2

#

and in fact you will be able to do so very easily since {e1, e2} is in fact the standard basis of R^2

scenic ether
#

@supple knotwhat is ur pfp?

supple knot
scenic ether
#

so that is what its called

#

@supple knotno seriously what is it

supple knot
pseudo basin
#

take this shit to #chill please @scenic ether

pseudo basin
umbral roost
#

yes

pseudo basin
#

if you do, then it should be clear that once you know $T\bd{e}_1$ and $T\bd{e}_2$ (which you do) you also know $T(\alpha \bd{e}_1 + \beta \bd{e}_2)$ for any scalars $\alpha$ and $\beta$

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

and every vector in $\bR^2$ can be put into the form $\alpha \bd{e}_1 + \beta \bd{e}_2$, and in fact such a decomposition is always unique

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

(this last message is me spelling out explicitly what in the jargon of linear algebra is concisely described by the word "basis")

umbral roost
#

okay I got it now

#

jesus

#

can I ask you if you finished your studies?

pseudo basin
#

for some definition of "finished", i did

#

what's with the "jesus" interjection though? did i go too hard?

umbral roost
#

i said jesus because I feel like I should be getting this quicker

#

and it concerns me

pseudo basin
#

is this your first time doing linalg

umbral roost
#

I mean we started 2 weeks ago, and I couldnt follow well in class because I missed some lectures. So now I am revising everything we did. Exam is in 2 weeks.

pseudo basin
#

you started two weeks ago and the exam is in two weeks?

#

you're being given an exam over what amounts to like, a month's worth of material?

umbral roost
#

more like 1,5 months

#

I have the first 4 chapters of the book basically

pseudo basin
#

in any case, for a first course in linear algebra it's normal if you have trouble getting things down quickly

#

i did try to lubricate it a little but it can still be a lot to take in

umbral roost
#

the 18.06SC MIT course has helped me a lot

#

are you tutoring yourself?

pseudo basin
#

wdym

#

as in do i offer tutoring services

#

it's kind of complicated and for personal reasons i don't do that at the moment, but probably in the near future i might

umbral roost

I have found the equations and the three lines. The y goes from 3x to 9. The x starts from 0 but im not sure what the top limit is.

sonic smelt
#

Clearly x goes from 0 to 3

vivid barn
#

I already tried 3 and it didnt work

sonic smelt
#

Not really, you either have x going from 0 to 3 and y going from 3x to 9 or y going from 0 to 9 and x going from y/3 to 3

vivid barn

#

Here you have a double integral and the integrand is (x + y)

Chang invested his savings in two investment funds. The $3000 that he invested in Fund A returned a 2% profit. The amount that he invested in Fund B returned a 7% profit. How much did he invest in Fund B, if both funds together returned a 4% profit?

plain furnace
#

how do i solve this

long kettle
#

What have you tried

plain furnace
#

nothing i dont know how to solve it

long kettle
#

Then let's start by naming a variable

#

Let's say x is the amount he invested in Fund B

#

How much money did he invest in total?

plain furnace
#

3000

long kettle
#

Just 3000?

#

That's how much he invested in Fund A

#

I'm talking about both funds together

plain furnace
#

well we dont know how much he invested in b

long kettle
#

We're saying he invested x

#

So how much did he invest in total in terms of x

plain furnace
#

idek bro tbh

#

this is the most confusing math problem ive ever done

long kettle
#

If I had 2 apples and then I added x apples, I'd have 2 + x apples

#

If he invested 3000 dollars in Fund A and also invested x dollars in Fund B, how much did he invest in total

plain furnace
#

3000x?

long kettle
#

Why are you multiplying them

plain furnace
#

i dont know x how did you find x

long kettle
#

We aren't finding x yet

long kettle
plain furnace
#

3000 + x?

long kettle
#

Yes

#

Now, if the funds made a 4% profit, how much extra money is that?

plain furnace
#

120?

#

3120

long kettle
#

What happened to the x?

plain furnace
#

3120x

long kettle
#

If you invested y dollars, and you made a 4% profit, how much money did you make in terms of y?

plain furnace
#

i lost you

#

makes no sense

long kettle
#

We're doing a bit of a detour to help you understand what we're supposed to do

#

Let's say I invested y dollars in a fund, and that fund made a 4% profit

#

How much money did I make

plain furnace
#

youd make a 4% profit of whatever you invested being y

long kettle
#

And what is that as an expression?

plain furnace
#

y + 4%?

long kettle
#

So if I invested 100 dollars with a 4% profit, you're saying I made 100 + 4 = 104 dollars?

plain furnace
#

ye

long kettle
#

No

#

If I invested 3000 dollars, and I made a 4% profit, I'm not making 3004 dollars

#

What's 4% of y

plain furnace
#

what was y again?

long kettle
#

Just a variable

plain furnace
#

y + .04?

long kettle
#

So 4% of 100 is 100 + 0.04 = 100.04?

plain furnace
#

prolly not

long kettle
#

Let's use a concrete example

#

What's 4% of, say, 125?

plain furnace
#

5?

long kettle
#

Yes

#

How did you calculate that?

plain furnace
#

125 . 0.04

long kettle
#

You multiplied, yes

#

So if I wanted 4% of y, what would I do?

plain furnace
#

y . 0.04?

long kettle
#

Yep. You can also write it 0.04y

#

Now back to the original problem

#

We invested 3000 + x dollars and made a 4% profit

#

Whats 4% of 3000 + x?

plain furnace
#

120x?

long kettle
#

Why?

plain furnace
#

we dont know x

#

and 4% of 3000 is 120

long kettle
#

To find 4% of a number, we multiply by 0.04, right?

plain furnace
#

yes

long kettle
#

What's 0.04(3000 + x)?

plain furnace
#

120 + 0.04x?

long kettle
#

Yes

#

That's the total profits

#

Remember that expression, we'll need it later

#

Now for a slight detour

#

He invested 3000 dollars into Fund A and made a 2% profit

#

How much profit did he make from Fund A alone?

plain furnace
#

60$?

long kettle
#

,calc 0.02*3000

woven radishBOT
#

Result:

60
long kettle
#

Yep

#

In addition, he invested x dollars in Fund B and returned a 7% profit

#

How much profit did he make from Fund B alone?

plain furnace
#

0.07 . X

long kettle
#

Yes

#

And if he made a profit of 60 from Fund A and a profit of 0.07x from Fund B, how much profit did he make in total?

plain furnace
#

270$?

long kettle
#

Where'd you get that number from?

plain furnace
#

i did 0.07 . 3000 then got 210 then added 210 +60

long kettle
#

Whyd you find 7% of 3000?

#

We don't need that

#

Fund A made a profit of 60

#

Fund B made a profit of 0.07x

#

How much did they make combined

plain furnace
#

idk

long kettle
#

If I have 60 apples, and then I add 0.07x apples, how many apples do I have in total

plain furnace
#

64

long kettle
#

Why 64?

plain furnace
#

60 . 0.07

long kettle
#

If I have 3 apples and I add 4 apples, how many apples do I have

plain furnace
#

7

long kettle
#

How'd you find that?

plain furnace
#

3 + 4 = 7

long kettle
#

Yes, you add them

#

So if you have 60 apples and you add 0.07x apples, how many apples do you have in total

plain furnace
#

60.07

long kettle
#

It's not 60 and 0.07

#

It's 60 and 0.07x

#

You're forgetting the x

plain furnace
#

60.07x

long kettle
#

No

#

60 + 0.07x is the answer I'm looking for

#

It's just 60 + 0.07x

plain furnace
#

...

long kettle
#

That's the total profits

#

But the total profits is also 120 + 0.04x

#

So they must be equal

#

What do you get when you set the expressions equal to each other

plain furnace
#

i dont know how to do that

long kettle
#

Just set them equal to each other

#

60 + 0.07x = 120 + 0.04x

#

Solve for x

plain furnace
#

x is 2000?

long kettle
#

Yep

#

Tada

plain furnace
#

thanks fr

Am I on the right track ? I’m stumped on integrated tanx^2

agile spire
lone ravine
#

So you need to integrate tan^2 x? Do you know the derivative of tan x?

agile spire
#

ln|secx|

#

?

lone ravine
#

No the derivative

agile spire
#

Ahh that’s the integral - it’s sec^^x

#

Sec^2x

lone ravine
#

Or if you write it differently: tan^2 x +1

agile spire
#

Ahh true use identity ? Def good call

#

Gonna try that

the question is ''which is not equivalent to this proposition?''

restive river
restive river
gleaming socket
#

Do you know what is equivalent

restive river
#

yes

gleaming socket
#

Ok do you know about truth tables

restive river
#

yep but we didnt learn abt <=>'s (idk what its called in english) equivalent

gleaming socket
#

It is equivalent

#

Wait wdym?

restive river
#

aaah the <=> symbol's equivalent? like opposite ver. of it NervousSweat i cant explain oms

gleaming socket
#

What is the symbol of equivalent according to you?

restive river
#

i didnt mean there is a symbol of equivalent

#

im trying to say idk that symbol's opposite version

#

arent these symbols equivalent of each other? and im trying to say idk if theres an equivalent of <=>, like these

gleaming socket
#

Oh I don't think there is

#

Fun fact: <=> is the symbol of equivalence!

restive river
restive river
gleaming socket
#

I am not sure but crossing it with "/" might mean the opposite. The same way "=/=" is opposite of "="

#

But that's not relevant here

#

Sorry I'm new to logic

#

I think brackets help, like p<=>q means they are equivalent and (p<=>q)' not equivalent

#

Makes sense?

restive river
gleaming socket
#

Do you know what the V underlined symbol means?

#

I'm seeing that for the first time

gleaming socket
#

What is it?

#

I know V only means or

restive river
gleaming socket
#

Interesting

restive river
gleaming socket
#

And I'm assuming p' means "not p"?

restive river
#

yes

#

if p is 1, p' is 0

gleaming socket
#

Because I am familiar with ~p

restive river
#

i didnt see it be4 :O

gleaming socket
#

There's another symbol also which means the same thing

#

But it's irrelevant here

#

Ok so you need to find [(p<=>q) <=> which of A, B, C or D]'

restive river
#

yes

#

or E :D

gleaming socket
#

Yeah

#

So create a one giant truth table and basically do all of them lol

#

That's the only way I know

restive river
#

oh i'll try wait

okay

#

you cancelled out cosθ

#

that’s why

jolly leaf
#

Thats not aloud?

umbral creek
#

when solving trig eqns don’t cancel it

#

you’ll lose answers

#

instead just factor out

#

like you know if you have

#

(X+1)(X-1)=0

#

x+1 =0

#

or x-1 =0

#

I know the second root x turns into

#

X^1/2

wild creek
#

yeah

red quartz
#

I’m not sure about after

wild creek
#

so replace the square roots

#

whatr does that give you?

red quartz
#

Another x^1/2

#

?

#

Gulp

wild creek
#

heres the first step

#

do you see how to apply the equivalence between square root and power 1/2?

red quartz
#

No I dont

wild creek
#

doo you get the first line with the sqrt(x * sqrt(x))?

red quartz
#

I thought it’ll look like this

wild creek
#

its also true

#

but you can also replace that big square root

#

if you call b whats inside the square root

#

you have sqrt(b)

#

which is just b^1/2 right?

red quartz
#

Yes

wild creek
#

then you replace b by its original value

#

so b^1/2 = (x * x^1/2)^1/2

wild creek
red quartz
#

?

wild creek
#

yeah

#

then you can use calculation rules for powers

#

do you know them?

red quartz
#

Mmm some

umbral creek
#

use number 1

#

then number 3 after

red quartz
#

So 3/4

#

Why wouldn’t I distribute the 1/2?

#

Bc I did that at first

#

wild creek
#

wdym by distributing the 1/2

#

like (a*b)^c = a^c* b^c ?

red quartz
#

The 1/2 outside the parentheses

wild creek
#

what would that give you?

red quartz
#

Ohh same thing

#

Thank you then I underpants

jovial mauve
#

Let X $\sim \text{Normal}(\mu, \sigma^2)$. What will be the distribution of $aX+b$ where a and b are constants?

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

pseudo basin
#

also what do you think it'll be?

jovial mauve
#

I needed your help

#

Thanks for coming the right time

#

I'm only sure the distribution of Y=aX+b will also be a normal distribution

#

Normal distributions are not monotonic, so I also cannot use the formula I learnt

unkempt tree
#

when to use a sub n and s sub n

pseudo basin
#

@unkempt tree don't intrude in other ppl's channels

pseudo basin
jovial mauve
#

not montonic distributions.

pseudo basin
#

"Normal distributions are not monotonic"

jovial mauve
#

functions which either strictly increases or strictly decreases

pseudo basin
#

it appears that i couldn't communicate to you the issue in your wording, but okay...

#

do you claim that the function x ↦ ax + b fails to be monotonic?

jovial mauve
#

The graph of any normal distribution increases and peaks at the mean value and starts to decrease, so any normal distribution is not monotonic.

jovial mauve
pseudo basin
#

can you state the formula again?

#

i think you are misremembering it

#

or rather, misremembering its condition of applicability

jovial mauve
#

For any function g(x) being monotonic for $x \in supp(X)$ with derivative $g'(x)$. Then, the PDF of Y=g(X) will be, $$f_{Y}(y)=\frac{f_{X}(g^{-1}(y))}{|g'(g^{-1}(y))|}$$

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

pseudo basin
#

you do realize that this DOESN'T require the PDF of your random variable to be monotonic, right? only the function by which you transform the variable itself is required to be monotonic

#

in fact, it is impossible to have a function be monotonic on the entire number line and also be the PDF of a random variable...

jovial mauve
#

Alright, my bad

pseudo basin
#

that and also you do not even need this formula

jovial mauve
#

Sorry

pseudo basin
#

a gaussian random variable's distribution is described entirely by its mean and stdev, and both of those transform in straightforward ways when you pass from X to aX+b

jovial mauve
#

Hmm

#

$Y=aX+b \implies X=\frac{Y-b}{x}$

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

pseudo basin
#

bad

#

and also unnecessary

jovial mauve
#

OK I have no idea what I'm doing

pseudo basin
#

$X \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2)$. what are the mean and stdev of $aX$?

woven radishBOT
jovial mauve
#

Mean=$a \mu$ and stdev=$|a| \sigma$

pseudo basin
#

one of these is correct and the other is not

#

and i realize i would've done better to ask for variance, but still...

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

jovial mauve
#

Var(X)=$a^2 \cdot \sigma^2$

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

pseudo basin
#

but ok, so we now know $aX \sim N(a \mu, a^2\sigma^2)$

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

can you now tell me the mean and variance of aX + b?

jovial mauve
#

Yes

#

$aX+b \sim N(a \mu +b, a^2 \sigma^2)$

woven radishBOT
#

QuantumBee

pseudo basin
#

great

#

was this so hard

jovial mauve
#

no

#

I overthought

coral wraith
#

@pseudo basin what do i do next?

devout snowBOT
pseudo basin
#

undo the screwups you just did

#

you have either misread or ignored my directions in which i explicitly stated the value of c

coral wraith
#

oh shit yh

#

this was the correct one

pseudo basin
#

there are still more values you can calculate by applying similar logic to what i described to different choices of known products

coral wraith
#

if so, i dont know which values

pseudo basin
#

think a little about what known products i made use of

coral wraith
pseudo basin
#

no, that is not what i meant.

#

those products were not known at the beginning of the problem; they were derived.

coral wraith
#

oh that each product of 2x2 square = 2 and products of row and column = 1

pseudo basin
#

now you are being a bit too unspecific

coral wraith
pseudo basin
#

you repeated the last thing you said

coral wraith
#

what did u mean by unspecific

pseudo basin
#

there are four 2×2 squares and 6 rows/columns in the grid

#

i did not use all of them

#

perhaps it would do you some good to look at how the ones i did use are positioned on the grid

coral wraith
#

you used abde and degh

pseudo basin
#

among other ones, yes.

coral wraith
#

abde/degh=2/2=1
ab/gh=1

pseudo basin
#

try seeing what happens when you use other pairs positioned like this

#

maybe something good will come of it

#

or maybe, yknow, the setup is symmetric so you won't have to do the same calculations with different letters a thousand times

coral wraith
#

bcef*efhi=be/2*eh/2=bhe^2/2=4
bhe^2=8

#

hm

coral wraith
#

maybe...

pseudo basin
#

ok sure now you got bhe^2 = 8

#

this is a good step towards finding the value of e, which is what you were asked for

coral wraith
#

bc im not sure how to continue

#

i hate to be annoying, but u there @pseudo basin ?

pseudo basin
#

are you unable to continue without presenting every single assertion of yours for validation by me?

#

i don't want to keep pointing out the obvious to you, but you are given that

#

the product of each column is 1

coral wraith
#

holy shit yh

#

why am i failing rn

#

lmao

restive river
#

I have a question. This is regarding the equation 6d-11/2=2d-13/2. My original answer was ¼ as I gave 13/2 giving -11/2 giving me 1. After this I would take 6d from the 2d on the other side giving me -4d. I divide both sides giving me d=4. Khan Academy disagrees and does the equation in a different order giving 11/2 to the 13/2 instead. Changing the final answer to -¼ instead. I am confused by the order you are supposed to do problems like this.

restive river
winter patrol
#

order doesn't matter as long as the manipulation is valid

#

supposedly you had reached
1 = -4d
right?

restive river
#

yes

winter patrol
#

what exactly did you divide by after that

restive river
#

Oh dang just figured it out. I was dividing the wrong side. Oops. Thanks anyways.

Does anyone know a tool that can solve a system of equations with 2 parameters? (4 equations, 4 unknowns)

Wolfram should work if you type it properly

What's the system?

I typed the equations, separated by a comma

#

Wait

#

x + ay + az + (a-b)w = b+1, x + (a+1)y + (a+b)z + (2a-b)w = a+b+1, 3x + 3ay + (3a+b)z + (3a-b)w = 4b+3, x + ay + az = 2b

main gull
#

And what are you solving for?

inland seal
#

x, y, z, w

Let's see if this works

#

umbral creek
#

hi

devout snowBOT
umbral creek
#

b^2 -4ac is =0 or >=0?

#

= right

buoyant heron
#

equals ye

umbral creek
#

so the answer would look something like

#

k= something

#

and k= something

#

it’s not a range right

arctic field
#

this is not a quadratic equation

#

its cubic

#

b^2 - 4ac doesnt apply

umbral creek
#

oh nono

#

sorry I forgot to mention

#

it’s a carry on from a previous part

#

it gets to $(x-k)(x^2+kx+k^2)=(x-k)(2x-1)$

woven radishBOT
#

duckiescute!

umbral creek
#

and the x-k cancels

#

but 1 real root means equal right

#

b^2 -4ac

arctic field
#

still

#

it will be a range of values of k

#

because its a cubic

#

there will always be at least 1 real root

woven radishBOT
arctic field
#

i.e. when b^2 - 4ac < 0

autumn grove

quaint citrus
#

Find g’

#

What’d u get

autumn grove
#

i got 1 - (14/x^3)

#

using quotient rule on 7/x^2

sonic smelt
#

That's not what you'd get using quotient rule nor power rule properly

quaint citrus
#

Check sign

autumn grove
quaint citrus
#

Ye

#

Now find crit pts

autumn grove
#

uh howe

#

i set it = 0 but not sure what now

quaint citrus
#

Turn it into 1 fraction

#

Lmk what u get

autumn grove
#

14+x^3 / x^3

quaint citrus
#

Ye

#

Now u gotta find where that equals 0 or where it’s undefined

#

When is it undefined

#

Like what value does the denominator take for it to be undefined

autumn grove
#

0

quaint citrus
#

Good

#

So set denom = 0

#

And solve

winter patrol
#

misconception

quaint citrus
#

?

winter patrol
#

the original function would need to be defined there for there to be a critical point there

autumn grove
#

wait so what should i do

#

i set the denom = 0

winter patrol
#

pretty much just solve

14+x^3 = 0

autumn grove
#

For the top i got cbrt(-14)

#

bottom i got 0

quaint citrus
#

So setting x^3 = 0 wouldn’t work because 0 isn’t in the domain of g? @winter patrol

winter patrol
#

So setting x^3 = 0 wouldn’t work because 0 isn’t in the domain of g?
yeh

quaint citrus
#

Ah i c

#

Mb @autumn grove

autumn grove
#

so that's DNE?

quaint citrus
#

Ye ig there’s only 1 crit number

autumn grove
#

not sure why DNE was wrong then

quaint citrus
#

So u have cbrt-14 and DNE

#

Maybe it wanted it in the 2nd spot?

#

Webassign weird sometimes

autumn grove
#

i feel like the cbrt can't be a negative number

quaint citrus
#

It can

#

What’s cbrt(-1)

#

What happens if u multiply a negative number by itself 3 times? U get a negative

autumn grove
#

so is sqrt the only one that cant be a negative

quaint citrus
#

Well every even root

#

Think abt it

autumn grove
#

o

quaint citrus
#

What abt 4th root

#

What happens when u multiply a negative number by itself 4 times

#

Or 6 times

#

Or 8 times

#

Always positive

autumn grove
#

i got it! thanks!

#

one more question if you have time

quaint citrus
#

Sure

autumn grove
#

What exactly does this want me to do?

#

Should i just plug in 2pi

quaint citrus
#

first find g’ then set it = 0

#

If g’=0 somewhere in the [0, 2pi) interval, then it’s an answer

#

If g’=0 but it’s outside the interval, then it’s not an answer

autumn grove
#

g' i found was 10 + 10cos10x

#

10+10cos10x = 0
10cos10x = - 10

quaint citrus
#

Yes

#

Now solve

autumn grove
#

yeah bit stuck here

quaint citrus
#

Well u wanna isolate the cos term so divide both sides by 10

autumn grove
#

Got it

quaint citrus
#

Now what do u get

autumn grove
#

do i need to take acos to get rid of cos

#

cos(10x) = -1

quaint citrus
#

Yes, arccos both sides

#

What’d u get

autumn grove
#

10x = pi

quaint citrus
#

Ye

#

So x is

autumn grove
#

x = pi/10

quaint citrus
#

Check if it’s right

#

“1”

autumn grove
#

nope

quaint citrus
#

U put in “1”?

autumn grove
quaint citrus
#

Hmm

#

Wait a sec Lemme check it out on a graph

#

Check this out

#

That’s g’

autumn grove
#

that's weird

#

so there are 10 points

#

Don't know how to solve for that

quaint citrus
#

Gimme a sec Lemme double check

#

Alr so I found this online for a problem with 8x instead of 10x, take a look

#

So we did the derivative right and everything

#

But our answers shd be (pi+2pi*n)/10

#

That’s how the function touches the x-axis 10 times for 10 solutions

autumn grove
#

that's so weird

quaint citrus
#

Hold on 1 sec

#

So looks like since we have cos10x

#

We get 10 solutions

#

Take a look

#

They all fall in the interval because they are divided by 6

#

Do u see now

#

@autumn grove

#

so arccos(-1) is pi, 3pi, 5pi, etc

#

But since we divide by 10, the answers fall in our interval

#

Does that make sense

#

Well I gtg just tag if u have questions

autumn grove
#

ohhh i see

#

Thank you a bunch!

Chain rule

#

Recall that the derivative of e^x is itself

#

But you have to use chainrule

#

which gives us -9e^-x

cunning stream
hot thicket
#

yes

cunning stream
#

so why does the power of e remain -x?

#

okay i looked stuff up and i think i kinda get the chain rule. the derivative of e^x is e^x, and then you find the derivative of whatever expression x is and multiply e^x by that?

heavy blaze

hello, I am working on fixed point iteration method and I am trying get my g(x). I know to get g(x) i have to get my f(x) which is tan(𝜋𝑥) − 𝑥 − 6. As x by itself. I have been trying to get x by itself however I have been having trouble of where to start

heavy blaze
#

I've tried doing the inverse of tan and got 𝑥 = tan^-1(x+6)/𝜋 but I'm not sure if that is right

sonic smelt
#

That's an invalid equation, you have a set on the left and a statement on the right

wary ruin
#

∅⊆A∩C?

sonic smelt
#

Depends on what you intended to mean in the first place

wary ruin
#

The intersection of set A and C

#

Well, is the empty set a subset of, or equal to, A intersection C

sonic smelt

The empty set is a subset to any set, so yes

hallow goblet
#

hey, have a question involving Set Theory

hallow goblet
#

Find a bijection between all integers and all positive integers

hollow pollen
#

did you work one out?

hallow goblet
#

Find a bijection between ℤ and ℤ+

hallow goblet
#

i just dont know how to actually put it into form

hollow pollen
#

thats a good start

restive river
#

one tip, map 0 to 1, and then jump around between negative and positive

hallow goblet
#

j = i+1 where i is an element of and j is an element of ℤ+?

restive river
#

thats doesnt work

hallow goblet
#

im so lost

restive river
#

do you know what a bijection is?

hallow goblet
#

yea, a one to one correspondence. everything gets hit at most once, and nothing is left unhit

#

and i fully understand that and ℤ+ are countably infinite and therefore have a bijection

#

i just dont know how to find one

#

and put it into proper form

restive river
#

good, now the problem is that Z is infinite to "both sides", while Z+ is only infinite to "one side"

hallow goblet
#

ok hang on

restive river
#

thats why you have to go back and forth

hallow goblet
#

j-i?

#

nope nvm

#

dammit

restive river
#

think less about formulas first, the formula isnt that easy

#

lets think about how a function might look like

#

what could you map f(0) to?

hallow goblet
restive river
#

and f(1)?

hallow goblet
#

0?

restive river
#

well 0 isnt in Z+ right?

hallow goblet
#

ok wait hangon

#

-1?

restive river
#

we are going from Z to Z+

hallow goblet
#

ah so 2

restive river
#

f: Z -> Z+

#

yeah

hallow goblet
#

wait but dosnt it not matter which way we go since its a bij?

restive river
#

now, instead if looking at f(2), f(3), f(4), we instead look at f(-1) now

#

what could f(-1) be?

hallow goblet
#

ok wait so

#

f(0) -> 1
f(1) -> 2

restive river
#

yes

hallow goblet
#

f(-1) -> 0?

restive river
#

well 0 isnt in Z+ right?

hallow goblet
#

rrrg

#

ok

#

so f(-1) -> 3??

restive river
#

yes

#

then f(2)?

hallow goblet
#

wait wtf how lol

restive river
#

its a legal choice, -1 is in Z and 3 is in Z+

hallow goblet
#

f(2) -> 4?

restive river
#

yes, and f(-2)?

hallow goblet
#

5?

#

so lemme write out what we have so far

restive river
#

f(0) = 1
f(1) = 2
f(-1) = 3
f(2) = 4
f(-2) = 5
f(3) = 6
f(-3) = 7

#

see how we can slowly fill both of these sets?

hallow goblet
#

yea i see, that makes sense

#

but how to put into proper form?

restive river
#

hmm, maybe look at what 1, 2, 3, 4 goes to, and then look at what 0, -1, -2, -3, -4 go to

#

make a case handling for positive and non positive

hallow goblet
#

ok give my smooth brain a sec

#

btw tysm

#

f: ℤ -> ℤ+
Let i be an integer
Letj = (i+1) * -1 for all i > 0
Then there exists a bijection between and ℤ+?

#

please god tell me im at least getting closer

restive river
#

closer but not quite

#

do you know about piecewise functions?

hallow goblet
#

yea but its been a long time

#

is there a trick?

restive river
#

this is a piecewise function for example

hallow goblet
#

ok wait so

restive river
#

instead of x lets call it z

#

just as a reminder
f(1) = 2
f(2) = 4
f(3) = 6
f(4) = 8

hallow goblet
#

z+1 for x > 0
z * (-1) for x > 0?

#

oooh

#

wait

restive river
#

f(0) = 1
f(-1) = 3
f(-2) = 5
f(-3) = 7
f(-4) = 9

hallow goblet
#

ok so f(-z) will map to all odds and f(z) maps to all evens? and 0 just maps to 0?

#

o wait

#

i mean 1

restive river
#

0 to 1 yeah

hallow goblet
#

ok i see

#

f(z) = z * (-1) for all x !/ 2
and
f(z) = z for all x / 2?

restive river
#

so f(0) = 0?

#

f(1) = 1 * (-1)?

hallow goblet
#

shit

restive river
#

you have two cases

#

either z > 0 or z ≤ 0

hallow goblet
#

right

restive river
#

not even or odd (for z)

#

you just need to make sure the function puts out even for positive and odd for negative z

hallow goblet
#

f(z) = z+1 for all x / 2?

restive river
#

what is x?

hallow goblet
#

f(z) = z for all z / 2?

restive river
#

make something like
f(z) =
..., if z>0
..., if z≤0

hallow goblet
#

ok hang on

#

f(z) = odd where z > 0
and
f(z) = even where z <= 0
?

restive river
#

yeah thats how it should turn out

#

now just work out the details

hallow goblet
#

like just give a few iterations you mean?

restive river
#

just look at
f(1) = 2
f(2) = 4
f(3) = 6
f(4) = 8
so how do you get f(z) = even?

hallow goblet
#

f(z) = z + 1 where z > 0
and
f(z) = z where z <= 0?

#

or is that just what i had before?

restive river
#

thats not quite it, it would give you
f(1) = 2
f(2) = 3
f(3) = 4
f(4) = 5

hallow goblet
#

z+2?

restive river
#

then its
f(1) = 3
f(2) = 4
f(3) = 5
f(4) = 6

#

you want
f(1) = 2
f(2) = 4
f(3) = 6
f(4) = 8

hallow goblet
#

oh!

#

so z adds 1 more to each iteration?

restive river
#

its super simple actually

#

f(3000) = 6000

#

f(234) = 468

hallow goblet
#

im a moron

restive river
#

f(600) = 1200

hallow goblet
#

ok it makes sense now lol

#

tysm, seriously. im sorry to have bothered you with something so trivial

restive river
#

wait, so you got f(z) = 2z now?

hallow goblet
#

yea

#

z*2 lol

restive river
#

we still got the negatives left

hallow goblet
#

fuuuuuck my class is abt to start

restive river
#

f(0) = 1
f(-1) = 3
f(-2) = 5
f(-3) = 7

hallow goblet
#

ok real quick

#

so for positives it yields evens, so 2z for z > 0

restive river
#

f(z) =
2z , if z>0
-2z+1, if z≤0

hallow goblet
#

tys fucking m

restive river
#

np

hallow goblet
#

gonna sprint to class now like a freak. can i trouble you with more questions later tonight possibly?

restive river
#

just ask in one of the help channels

will do. thank you again

restive river
#

for this question are there 4 equivalence classes, {-x, y}, {x, y}, {x, -y}, {-x, -y} since the relation just says |x| = |a| and |y| = |b| ?
so then for any number between - 10 and 10 if -x = y, x = -y, or -x = -y they would all satisfy the relation
i have no idea if im going ab this the right way

@restive river Has your question been resolved?

low holly
#

and you are correct that (-x, y), (x, y), (x, -y), (-x, -y) are the members of the equivalence class of (x, y) when x and y are nonzero

#

so you can count the number of elements in W with both elements nonzero and divide by four to get the number of equivalence classes in that subset

#

then you're left with considering the equivalence classes of pairs with at least one element zero

#

i think you can make some progress with that

low holly
restive river
#

but then including 0 it would be 11 * 11 so 121 rather than 100 right?

low holly
#

you know you have at least 100 equivalence classes by restricting to one quadrant e.g. the equivalence classes of (x,y) with x and y both positive

#

10 choices for each gives you 100 equivalence classes

#

there's a single equivalence class with both elements 0

#

now you're left with counting the number of equivalence classes with one element 0

#

you can do this by noting that the equivalence classes in such case always have 2 elements, so again if you can count the number of elements with one element 0 you can divide by 2

restive river
#

yea so it would be 1 more class for each pair, 20 more classes not including the one with both elements 0

#

so then including the one with 0 its 21 then i get 100 + 21

low holly
#

yes

#

sounds correct to me

#

sorry i just didn't know where the 11 * 11 came from

restive river
#

lol sorry was just visualizing it graphically and was getting the number of points in the first quadrant

#

but to follow up, would there be 121 classes then?

low holly
#

fairly sure

#

(x,y), (x,0), (0,y), (0,0) for 1 <= x,y <= 10

#

cardinality of the set on the left is 100 + 10 + 10 + 1

#

if you're struggling to see this you can see that the absolute value of each element in a pair must be between 1 and 10 for the first type of eq. class, and the latter three are cases on it being 0

restive river
#

so the logic behind this then would be since for each pair (x, y) where x, y are between -10 and 10 and non-zero, we have 100 different possibilities for (x,y), making 100 equivalence classes. taking account (x, y) pairs that include 0 between -10 and 10, we get 21 elements, making the total number of equivalence classes 121?

low holly
#

1 through 10 for x and 1 through 10 for y

#

we don't have 21 elements anywhere

#

(0,10) is equivalent to (0,-10)

#

oh i overcomplicated it LOL

#

there's a very easy explanation for why 121

#

11 different absolute values for the first element, 11 different absolute values for the second element

#

i think that's what you were saying

restive river
#

o yeah

low holly
#

there's an equivalence class for each absolute value of each element
