Isn't it suppose to be au+bv+cw = 0 with a,b,c = 0 for linearly independent?

left robin
#

nope

#

au+bv+cw=/=0 for all a,b,c=/=0
is lienar independency

fluid rampart
#

Wait I learnt the opposite: if au+bv+cw = 0 for all a,b,c ≠ 0 then it's dependent, but if au+bv+cw = 0 and a,b,c = 0 then it's independent (trivial solution as unique solution)

left robin
#

for a,b,c=0 we always get that the whole equals 0

#

so we kinda ignore

fluid rampart
#

if the vecteur is null then a,b,c can be different from zero

left robin
#

oh wait

#

i think i get what you mean

fluid rampart
left robin
#

u,v,w are linearly independent if
au+bv+cw=0
ONLY if a,b,c=0

#

which is equivalent to saying:
u,v,w are linearly independent if
au+bv+cw≠0 for all a,b,c such that not all a,b,c equal 0

fluid rampart
#

Yes now we need to prove u+v, v+w and u+w are independent but I'm struggling to get from au+bv+cw=0 for all a,b,c = 0 to a(u+v)+b(v+w)+c(u+w)=0 for all a,b,c = 0

fallen wind
#

hi its me again..

devout snowBOT
fallen wind
#

i cant tell what im doing wrong

#

heres the answer i was supposed to get for f'

pseudo basin
#

s', not f'

fallen wind
#

same thing

pseudo basin
#

no, not the same thing. you don't have a function named f.

#

also there's the issue that your handwriting makes it kind of hard to tell apart y and 4.

fallen wind
#

sorry

pseudo basin
#

oh and you differentiated $-4y^{2/5}$ incorrectly

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

it should be $-\frac{8}{5} y^{-3/5}$ and not $-\frac{4}{5} y^{-3/5}$ as you wrote

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

so that's at least one algebraic screwup spotted

fallen wind
#

youre right

pseudo basin
#

that and also tbh i would not have gone about differentiating s this way in the first place, unless you're under explicit instructions from your teacher to Use The Product Rule Or Else, or something.

fallen wind
#

how else would i differentiate it

#

but also i dont know what i did wrong with product rule aside from that algebra

pseudo basin
#

i would have first expanded $-4y^{2/5}(y^2 - 54)$ as $-4y^{12/5} + 216y^{2/5}$ and then i would apply the power rule

woven radishBOT
pseudo basin
#

much less headache

pseudo basin
fallen wind
#

but if i fixed my algebra its still off

pseudo basin
#

have you actually redone the algebra yet

fallen wind
#

yes

pseudo basin
#

ok, show me

#

maybe you screwed up again but somewhere else this time

#

also by doing this you will acknowledge that you actually deliberately want to cause yourself headache

grim burrow
#

If you have decided to bring the negative sign in together with the term 4y^(2/5), this here would have been a + sign instead

pseudo basin
#

you were not done...

fallen wind
#

i understand that later i should expand. but i also wanna make sure i know how to do power rule

#

what am i not done with

pseudo basin
#

you are not done with redoing your work w/ the product rule

fallen wind
pseudo basin
#

the second term just disappeared

#

you thanos-snapped it

#

leaving a lone minus sign with nothing to its right

#

why did you do that

grim burrow
fallen wind
#

i dont understand

#

i dont see what disappeared

#

and i dont see what was wrong with product rule

grim burrow
#

There would have been a - sign there if your you didnt choose u to be -4y^(2/5)

pseudo basin
fallen wind
#

oh i just never wrote that in cause it already wasnt looking right

pseudo basin
#

you claim to have redone your work and then submit unfinished work

could've at least said "i don't need any more help from y'all" if that's the case, rather than just closing the channel in our faces.

fallen wind
#

its not that i dont need help its just that im tired of the attitude

pseudo basin
#

and that you could also have communicated.

#

instead, you are displaying "attitude" of your own.

fallen wind
#

why are you making such a big deal out of it

#

move on

pseudo basin
#

imagine slamming shut a physical door in front of someone. they will make a big deal out of it.

Anyone can teach me how to do this?

devout snowBOT
#

@winged torrent Has your question been resolved?

patent tartan
#

You can use the equation ax + bx + cz = S to eliminate one of the variables in P = xyz

#

Then for example you have P(x,y), and you can use standard methods to find stationary points (ie max/min)

neon folio

@brittle raven

devout snowBOT
neon folio
#

case 1 is [-1:3/2[

brittle raven
#

ye

neon folio
#

case 2 is R intersected with x<1

#

no

#

cuz x can be positive

#

like 0.8

brittle raven
#

ye ye

neon folio
#

so whats the solution

brittle raven
#

[-1:3/2[ in case 1
]-infinity ; 1 [ in case 2

neon folio
#

without ( )

brittle raven
#

finally

neon folio
#

edit it

#

and with ] at -inf

#

good

#

now we need to reunite those solutions

#

form the 2 cases

#

le reunion

#

i guess

brittle raven
#

ye

neon folio
#

so

brittle raven
#

union & reunion

neon folio
#

whats the reunion

#

yes

neon folio
brittle raven
#

we use it in intervals

neon folio
#

yes

#

tell me the reunion

brittle raven
#

of those solutions ?

neon folio
#

yes

#

we have 2 cases

#

we need to reunite the solutions

#

to get the answer

brittle raven
#

]-infinity ; -1 ] ∪ [- 1 ; 1 ]

#

]-infinity;1] ?

neon folio
#

no

#

case 1 was [-1:3/2[

#

case 2 was ]-infinity ; 1 [

brittle raven
#

]-infinity; 1 ] ∪ [ 1 ; 3/2 [

neon folio
#

reunite those

neon folio
brittle raven
#

yaay

neon folio
#

wait

#

in case 2 the 1 has [

brittle raven
#

ahh ye ye

#

so

#

]-infinity; 1 [ 😐

neon folio
#

yes

#

case 1 was [-1:3/2[
case 2 was ]-infinity ; 1 [

#

reunite these

brittle raven
#

]-infinity ; 1[

neon folio
#

?

brittle raven
#

3/2 > 1

neon folio
#

[-1:3/2) ∪ (-infinity ; 1)

#

use )

#

it's so confusing to use [ and ]

brittle raven
#

3/2 > 1

neon folio
#

no

#

do you know how to reunite?

#

it means to combine the solutions of both cases into a single interval

brittle raven
#

in first case we have x < 1 and in the second case we have -1<x<3/2

#

the combine of the solution is ]-infinity ; 1 ]

#

cuz 1 < 3/2

#

is that false ?

neon folio
#

3/2 is 1.5

#

so you need to include 3/2 into the new interval too

brittle raven
#

1 < 1.5

neon folio
#

yes

brittle raven
#

x < 1

#

why we need to include it ??

neon folio
#

and on the right side of the interval you write the biggest possible value it can have

#

here the biggest value is 3/2

#

not 1

brittle raven
#

for example

#

it gonna works ?

brittle raven
neon folio
#

yes

brittle raven
#

oh ok

woven radishBOT
neon folio
#

see?

#

if we use 1.2 the inequality is true

#

if we use 1.6

woven radishBOT
neon folio
#

it's false

#

because 3/2 < 1.6

#

@brittle raven

brittle raven
#

oh ok

#

ty

neon folio
#

so whats the final answer

brittle raven
#

[-1;3/2( ∪ )-infinity ; 1 )

neon folio
#

no

#

thats not final

#

final answer is a single interval

brittle raven
#

ah

#

(-infinity;3/2(

neon folio
#

)

brittle raven
#

i forget hh

neon folio
#

BUT

#

we didnt finish

#

we still have 1 more thing to do

brittle raven
#

what ?

#

what it is

neon folio
#

what was the first step we did

#

in this problem

#

?

brittle raven
#

solve inequality

#

to know the restricted values

neon folio
#

yes

brittle raven
#

(2;3)

neon folio
#

now we have to check

#

if our final answer

#

contains a restricted value

#

so we do the intersection

#

of our final answer

#

with the restricted values

brittle raven
#

nop

#

3/2 < (3,2)

neon folio
#

(-infinity;3/2) intersected with (2,3)

#

(3,2) isnt an interval

#

in an interval the bigger number is on the right

#

and a number cant be smaller than an interval

#

it can only be smaller than a value from the interval

brittle raven
neon folio
#

thats what we need to do

#

to see if our final answer and the restriced values have something in common

#

if they dont

#

then our final answer is correct

#

if they do

#

we have to change our final answer

brittle raven
#

they dont

neon folio
#

why

brittle raven
#

we don't have any number from this set (2,3) in our intervale

neon folio
#

in other words

#

3/2 < 2

#

right?

brittle raven
#

yep

neon folio
#

good

#

so whats our final answer

brittle raven
#

)-infinity;3/2(

neon folio
#

]

#

and [

brittle raven
#

]-infinity;3/2[

neon folio
#

good

#

so

#

how was the problem?

#

hard?

#

or easy

brittle raven
#

nqh

#

nah

#

easy

neon folio
#

nic

#

e

brittle raven
#

If you were a teacher, how many points would you give for this question?

neon folio
#

idk

#

depends on how many questions there are in total

#

this is preety hard

#

so i guess more than the rest

brittle raven
#

3 pts HHHH

neon folio
#

3 pts out of what?

brittle raven
#

20

neon folio
#

hm

#

ok

#

whats the exercise with the most points?

brittle raven
neon folio
#

3.5

#

lol

brittle raven
#

i hate logic

#

hard 😢

neon folio
#

i know how to do this

brittle raven
#

lets do it

#

:3

neon folio
#

1 sec

#

to check if i know

#

i forgot 😭

brittle raven

summer dune
devout snowBOT
summer dune
#

hello! i’m stuck on part ii

#

how would i find the domain restrictions on this function?

#

i looked it up on desmos and it seems to be (0,120) but how would i get to this answer through an equation?

manic zinc
#

Do you know how to draw a quadratic graph?

summer dune
#

i think so

#

but this one has a negative in front of the x^2 so would my parabola be flipped?

manic zinc
#

Yep, it's upside down

#

What are the roots?

summer dune
#

my graph on desmos says it’s right side up

manic zinc
#

What are you plotting?

#

What is the equation that you put into desmos?

summer dune
#

i put the p(x) équation

manic zinc
#

Try putting it without p(x)

summer dune
#

so like a y instead?

manic zinc
#

Yep

summer dune
#

ok!

#

hmm i’m getting the same result

manic zinc
#

It's still upside down u shaped

summer dune
#

it’s u shaped

manic zinc
#

It looks more like n than u?

summer dune
#

oh wait im-

#

im an idiot

#

NVM yeah it’s shaped as an n

#

sorry

#

sorry sorry

manic zinc
#

Do you get it now?

summer dune
#

i’m still confused on how would i find my domain?

manic zinc
#

So for what x values is the y value bigger than zero?

summer dune
#

would i have to split it in half?

manic zinc
#

That part is the graph is positive y values

#

For what x values do we get those y values?

summer dune
#

120? right

manic zinc
#

When x=120 y=0

#

So y is not positive

summer dune
#

so i’d half to put parentheses on them?

manic zinc
#

The parentheses represent a range of values

summer dune
#

wait i’m a little confused

manic zinc
#

(a,b) means a<x<b

summer dune
#

if the second half of the parabola has a negative slope, i would have to ignore that part right?

manic zinc
#

No, because y is still positive

summer dune
#

but if the slope is negative then wouldn’t i leave that out of the domain?

manic zinc
#

We are not looking at gradient

summer dune
#

wait wait

#

this is the question im working on

manic zinc
#

Ohh I see

#

Sorry about that

#

Yeah so you only want when the slope is positive

summer dune
#

sorry i should have been more clearer

#

im still confused how would i find this through an equation

#

math is so harddhifhfi

manic zinc
#

I thought you were asking for what range of x is p(x) positive?

#

But you are asking for what x is p'(x) positive?

summer dune
#

i was thinking the same thing until i reread the question

#

what’s p’(x)?

manic zinc
#

The derivative

#

Do you know what that is?

summer dune
#

yeahh

manic zinc
#

When is the slope positive?

#

Like for what x values?

summer dune
#

so i would have to find the max point? and set my restriction based on that?

manic zinc
#

Yeo

#

Yep*

summer dune
#

(0,60)

#

is that right

manic zinc
#

Is that a coordinate?

summer dune
#

oh

#

those are intervals

#

the domain

manic zinc
#

Is the gradient positive when x is less than zero

summer dune
#

im not sure what gradient means

manic zinc
#

Sorry slope

summer dune
#

oh

#

yeah it would be

manic zinc
#

Is the slope positive when x is less than zero?

summer dune
#

i think

manic zinc
#

Yep so you need to include that part in your values too

summer dune
#

okayyy

#

wait would that make sense with my equation?

#

what do the negatives represent?

manic zinc
#

Oh in your question you are only interested in x being positive because it represents sales of an item?

#

I see

manic zinc
summer dune
#

ohh okayy thank you

#

wait

#

how would i solve this equation-wise?

manic zinc
#

Using the equation, you can draw the graph yourself instead of using desmos

#

Then everything else is the same

summer dune
#

is there any other way

#

like would i be able to find the derivative and do something with it?

manic zinc
#

Yep you can, so what is the derivative in this case?

summer dune
#

would it be 10?

manic zinc
#

Not quite

summer dune
#

ohh

manic zinc
#

Have you seen differentiation before?

#

Like x^a differentiates to ax^(a-1)

summer dune
#

i have, but my teacher didn’t tell us to use it for these questions

#

so i would have to do it the long way right?

manic zinc
#

In that case drawing the graph is the easiest way

summer dune
#

alright :))

#

if i were to find the derivative, how would it help solve the answer?

#

like how do i use it to solve the question?

manic zinc
#

So in this case the derivative is 120-2x

#

This is positive means 120-2x>0 so x<60

#

Did that make sense?

summer dune
#

ohh i think so

#

thanks so much for the help!

manic zinc
#

No problem

summer dune
#

i really appreciate it!

zealous spruce
devout snowBOT
zealous spruce
#

8.5
the inflection point is 1/2

#

why is it considered the maximum gradient?

sonic smelt
#

Because the maximum gradients occurs at the point where the derivative of the gradient (aka the second derivative) is 0

#

Which is also the inflation point

zealous spruce
#

so max gradient is always the 2nd derivative = 0

winter patrol
#

not always

zealous spruce
#

pls explain

winter patrol
#

second derivative can be used to tell you locations of stationary points of the first derivative,
which could be local max/min or inflection

#

generally it doesn't give you the location of the absolute max gradient

zealous spruce

then im using the reduced quadratic equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

In algebra, a quadratic equation (from Latin quadratus 'square') is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as

where x represents an unknown, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. (If a = 0 (and b ≠ 0) then the equation is linear, not quadratic, as there is no

you're working with -tan

#

not tan

#

the minus stays

turbid sphinx
#

oh

turbid sphinx
shadow breach
#

the derivative of -anything is the same as the derivative of anything except you add the minus

#

because you can write - as -1 x f(x)

#

and a if you have a function multiplied by a constant

the constant stays as it is when you derive constant * f(x)

hey i have a question

devout snowBOT
restive river
#

im struggling with this issue

#

the question is in spanish which makes it worse

#

but i can translate it to english

#

for context this is it in englihs

#

it basically says

#

Perian Herring inserts announcements into her envelopes for extra income during her spare time. Her initial cost for obtaining the cost information was £200.00. Every envelope is £0.2 and she is paid £.04 per ready-made envelope. Consider that x represents the number of envelopes already prepared.

#

Perian does a job. She makes 50% value from what she spends to do the job (40p). She has already spent £200.

#

The question is to find out how many envelopes have already been prepared.

what does log e evaluate to?

devout snowBOT
teal goblet
#

is it one?

pseudo basin
#

when you say log do you mean the natural log?

solid spire
#

When you just say log base 10 is in implied

#

Then it's 0.434 something

winter patrol
#

When you just say log base 10 is in implied
no, the base depends on context

teal goblet
#

log(log(e-x))

#

would it be

#

1/log(e-x)

solid spire
grim agate
winter patrol
#

no, i mean what i said

grim agate
#

,w log 10

teal goblet
#

the derivitive i mean

grim agate
#

uh i’m confused

pseudo basin
#

got a feeling that my question of "When you say log, do you mean natural log?" went unanswered.

teal goblet
#

bruh

pseudo basin
#

whether that was by carelessness or by deliberate decision, i do not know.

winter patrol
#

regardless the derivative is incorrect

teal goblet
#

so

solid spire
teal goblet
#

would it be 0?

#

because e is a constant right

winter patrol
#

would it be 0?
depends of you're differentiating with respect to x or something related to x

teal goblet
#

with respect to x

winter patrol
#

then no, the derivative isn't 0

#

as log(log(e-x)) isn't a constant

teal goblet
#

sorry

#

x is 0

#

so it would be 0 right

winter patrol
#

can you show the original question...

#

where's x is 0 coming from

#

wdym by "it"

pseudo basin
#

how could i forget that i am not the kind of person who deserves answers to their questions.

teal goblet
winter patrol
#

differentiate first, plug in 0 after

#

you do NOT plug in 0 first

teal goblet
#

ye ik

#

i got to the log part and im not sure what to do next

winter patrol
#

where's the double log coming from...

teal goblet
#

the bottom

#

logarithmic differentiation

winter patrol
#

can you show your work

pseudo basin
#

ok so log means natural log

#

it wouldve been hella nice to know this by explicit confirmation and not by contextual inference alone ngl

teal goblet
#

im not sure if 1/log(e-x) should be d/dx (log(e-x)/log(e-x)

winter patrol
#

bad notation and sign screw up

teal goblet
#

???

winter patrol
#

note that you have actually differentiated in your first step,
writing f'(x) there is highly inappropriate / wrong

teal goblet
#

im supposed to be d/dx first right

winter patrol
#

you're supposed to have ln(f(x)) = there

teal goblet
#

we cant use ln lmao

winter patrol
#

why not

#

i'm just using ln here to unambiguously refer to natural log

#

if your using log for the natural log just write log whenever i use ln

#

log(f(x)) =
if you insist

teal goblet
#

alrigh

winter patrol
#

you also miswrote cos as cot in the numerator when copying down the question

teal goblet
#

im tired lmao

winter patrol
#

as for the part involving the derivative of log(log(e-x))
you're missing a - sign from the derivative or from distribution,
it is unclear which

teal goblet
#

how?

winter patrol
#

start by showing your work for the derivative of

log(log(e-x))
, with adequate application of chain rule

teal goblet

im not following

did i not do that?

acoustic mountain
#

maybe im just dumb …

Jake drops his piece of cake off his porch and half a second later it hits the ground. Find the instantaneous velocity of the cake when it hits the ground. how do u find the instantaneous velocity??? 🤠

winter hound
acoustic mountain
#

v = gt?

winter hound
#

I’m not an expert in that but all I can give is an example

#

since this was not taught in my school and I had to google it in order to find the answer

#

imagine yourself

#

and let’s say you have a bf or gf shouting for help from a far place

acoustic mountain
#

yes

winter hound
#

so you run to them, and your velocity is not constant

#

so at some point, your velocity will be slow

#

and at some point, it will be fast

#

It’s like you’re running and getting tired so you’re slowing down

#

Once you get enough energy you start to get back to your original speed

acoustic mountain
#

mhm

winter hound
#

Let’s say I want to know what’s the velocity at a specific point of time when I’m running

#

That’s called instantaneous velocity

acoustic mountain
#

yes

#

OHHHH

winter hound
#

let’s say at the 5th second of running, my velocity is 2ms^-1

acoustic mountain
#

OK

winter hound
#

is my instantaneous velocity at 5th second is 2ms^-1

#

You can search up for more, this is what my memory told me

#

maybe searching is better since it’s been a while I’ve dealt with these questions

acoustic mountain
#

i think its dealing with free fall

#

so it would be like

#

(9.8m/s^2) (.5s)

#

RIGHT

#

RIGHT

i think im rigt

how do do this - 10 to the power 2 route -2

pseudo basin
#

the first step would be to write it in a way that can actually be understood by someone other than you

restive river
#

i am in myp1

pseudo basin
#

maybe write it on paper

restive river
#

i cant

pseudo basin
#

why not?

restive river
#

let me try

#

how do i send it

pseudo basin
#

writing it with the keyboard so far has produced 10 to the power 2 route -2, which i can't say i understand.

#

but yes, send a photo here.

midnight dirge
#

route?

#

root?

#

wot

#

i too think

pseudo basin
#

let us not riddle ourselves.

restive river
pseudo basin
#

it is OP's responsibility to make their question understandable.

#

...have you had any encounters with complex numbers before?

restive river
#

yees

#

right...

midnight dirge
#

OH THIS PERSON WASNT OP LOL

pseudo basin
#

and have you also encountered complex exponentials?

restive river
#

niet

namely, are you familiar with the formula e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)?

restive river
#

no

midnight dirge
#

hey this looks fun

#

well. yikes, i guess

midnight dirge

we can use

#

ok @midnight dirge you can take over from here

midnight dirge
#

$z^s = e^{s \log (z)}$

woven radishBOT

and

#

$\log (z) = \log |z| + i arg(z)$

woven radishBOT

T.T that arg

#

welp

#

10^2i

midnight dirge
#

errrr

#

that does'nt meke sense

midnight dirge

u didnt eval the top properly

first

#

i knoow

midnight dirge
#

$10 ^ {2 \sqrt{-2}}$

restive river
#

exactly

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

exactly

midnight dirge
#

$2 \sqrt{-2}$

restive river
#

this

woven radishBOT
midnight dirge
#

what happens to this

#

how would u simplify this

#

im not asking u

#

...

restive river
#

2o

#

2i

midnight dirge
#

no

#

its 2i if we had

proud mural
#

Kekw

#

just leave

midnight dirge
#

$2 \sqrt{-1} = 2i$

woven radishBOT
midnight dirge
#

but here its sqrt 2

#

so what would it be instead

#

...

restive river
#

my mind - ...

midnight dirge
#

wot

winter hound
#

let me add more chaos

#

imaginary number

midnight dirge
#

$2 \sqrt{-1} = 2i$

woven radishBOT
midnight dirge
#

$2 \sqrt{-2} = ?$

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

idk

winter hound
#

Separate sqrt of -2

midnight dirge
#

so

winter hound
#

And make it so that it has sqrt -1

#

And you’ll see it

midnight dirge
#

notice u can take out 2 from the sqrt cuz its real

#

or arg 0

#

like

restive river
#

2i root 2

midnight dirge
#

yep

#

$10 ^ {2i \sqrt{2}}$

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

ok

midnight dirge
#

so rewriting it we get

#

$e^{2i \sqrt2 \log (10)}$

woven radishBOT
midnight dirge
#

idk thats about it?

#

what exactly do u want anw

restive river
#

im just solving some problems

#

and found this one hard

#

thanks

midnight dirge
#

um

#

idk i just

#

rewrote it

#

but we arent exactly solving for anything?

restive river

#

Hi

devout snowBOT
gusty merlin
#

How many times would 0.86 go in 100

hollow pollen
#

use division

gusty merlin
#

How?

spare zealot
#

Here let's start with a simpler problem, how many times would, say, 2 go into 100?

hollow pollen
#

3 divided by 2 is how many times 2 goes in 3

#

so you can apply the same concept

gusty merlin
spare zealot
#

Yup, you got both of those

#

The same concept applies with decimal numbers

gusty merlin
#

So basically 30/0.86?

heavy terrace
spare zealot
#

Where did the 30 come from?

heavy terrace
#

that will help ya

#

then use long division formula

gusty merlin
#

Okay so

#

Basically

heavy terrace
#

10000/86 and use long division formula

gusty merlin
#

I’m figuring out how many coffee cups (0.86cm2) would go into a 30 metre room

#

How do I do that

heavy terrace
spare zealot
#

30 square metre?

#

Like setting them side by side on the floor?

gusty merlin
#

Like we’re filling the whole classroom

spare zealot
#

Or 30 cubic meter

gusty merlin
#

Up to the top

#

Cube

gusty merlin
heavy terrace
#

all good

spare zealot
#

It's the same process as the simpler problem I gave before

#

When you wanted to know how many times 2 goes into 100, you divided 100 by 2

#

Yup

#

Just like that

gusty merlin
#

Oh

spare zealot
#

You deleted it but I saw it

gusty merlin
#

That equals 34.88

spare zealot
#

,w 30/0.86

coral token
gusty merlin
#

If it has to be the same unit then we can add another 0

spare zealot
coral token
spare zealot
#

That's what I assumed

coral token
#

even so 30/0.86 would not make much sense

gusty merlin
#

How many coffee cups - 0.0086m would fit into a 30m room

hollow pollen
#

30m?

spare zealot
#

Assuming both units are cm^3, you would be correct with your 34.something answer

hollow pollen
#

do you mean 30m^2 or 30m^3

spare zealot
#

They mean 30cm^3

#

We're not sure about the cups tho

gusty merlin
#

What is happening

#

Y’all

hollow pollen
#

what kind of room is 30cm^3 lol

gusty merlin
#

I’m confused now why are there so many people here

#

We don’t know we got given that

pseudo basin
#

if you were given a poorly worded problem then it is not your responsibility to untangle the wording

gusty merlin
#

I’ll start from the start

#

I need to figure out the volume of a coffee cup - I will paste the picture below

#

This coffee cup - I need to find out how many of these would fit into a 30m^3 room. Firstly, I need to find out the perimeter and the volume for this in order to find out how many would fit in the room

#

Can someone please help me finding out the volume of the coffee cup - like edges etc

#

I need to fill the whole room to the top

#

That’s the room below

gusty merlin
# gusty merlin

I need to figure out how many of these cups would fit into that room

#

Can someone please help?

pseudo basin
#

are those cups empty? like, are we stacking cups inside each other for this?

#

or are we treating them as solid, filled-in objects

gusty merlin
#

Yes they’re empty

pseudo basin
#

right...

#

that kind of complicates matters, i think

devout lichen
pseudo basin
#

because then we need to know the thickness of the paper they're made of, to know how high a stack of n such cups will be

#

@devout lichen channel occupied please move

gusty merlin
#

No basically they’re solids

pseudo basin
#

...

#

so are they empty or are they filled in

gusty merlin
#

Like they’re trash and we need to figure out how many would fit in the room

#

They are empty tho

pseudo basin
#

so we can stack them inside each other

gusty merlin
#

However it will fit in the room

#

Inside eachother, randomly stack, just throw them in etc

#

So how would I do that- firstly I would have to calculate the cup

pseudo basin
#

well it does kind of matter. are we looking to maximize the number of cups filling the room?

gusty merlin
#

Yes

The room has to be FULL of cups

pseudo basin
#

right

#

well ok like

#

some assumptions may need to be made

gusty merlin
#

I’m hearing

pseudo basin
#

like, how thick is the lip of the cup? i.e. the ring at the top of it

#

i imagine it can't be more than a few millimeters

gusty merlin
#

I’m not sure

#

That’s all I have

pseudo basin
#

hm.

gusty merlin
#

12oz (360ml)

pseudo basin
#

yes, you've sent that here already

gusty merlin
#

Yea that’s all I have

#

Omg I found something else that may help

pseudo basin
#

i mean, we could just naïvely divide the volume of the room by the volume of one cup, and get an estimate on how many cups will fill the room if we just toss them in haphazardly.

#

but i believe we can do better.

#

ah wait hold on! the diagram DOES tell us the thickness of the lip, even though it's indirect

#

110 - (97+10) = 3mm

gusty merlin
#

Oh

#

OMG

#

UR A GOENUS

pseudo basin
#

right, so then a stack of n cups would have height 110 + 3(n-1)
(the full height of the bottommost cup plus n-1 lip thicknesses)

#

and the cross section of the stack is of course a circle of radius 89mm

gusty merlin
#

What’s n?

#

Like why did u add n

pseudo basin
#

n is the number of cups in the stack

gusty merlin
#

Ohhh

pseudo basin
#

we don't know how big our stacks will be, as it will matter what orientation we place them in the room

#

the room is 4m by 3m by 2.5m, yes?

gusty merlin
#

Correct

pseudo basin
#

right

#

so then

gusty merlin
pseudo basin
#

let's consider three orientations: heightwise, lengthwise and widthwise

gusty merlin
#

Sure

pseudo basin
#

in each case, we will find the number of cups in one stack, and then we will approximate the number of stacks using the area of the corresponding wall or floor of the room

gusty merlin
#

Don’t we need to find out the volume of the cup first?

pseudo basin
#

no actually, we don't

gusty merlin
#

Oh

pseudo basin
#

we are stacking cups inside each other anyway. their volumes overlap a lot.

gusty merlin
#

OHHHH

#

Okay we’re on the same page now

pseudo basin
#

circles of identical size packed optimally on the plane have a packing density of about 91% - this is the ratio of a circle's area to that of a regular hexagon circumscribed around it. you can calculate the exact value of that on your own time, but for now we can just roll with it.

gusty merlin
#

It wants me to find out the volume tho

pseudo basin
#

what this means is that, for example, when putting stacks in height-wise, we will have only 91% of the area of the floor be covered by the circles that are the cups viewed from the top

gusty merlin
pseudo basin
gusty merlin
#

Perfect

#

So what I do now

gusty merlin
#

Yes I do

pseudo basin
#

right

#

ok

#

so the top-down area of a single cup (and also a stack of cups) is the area of a circle with radius 89mm

#

er

#

diameter 89mm, sorry

#

so in square millimeters that will be

#

,calc 89 * 89 * pi/4

#

...why is the bot not responding

#

whatever, i calculated that on my own calculator.

#

6221 mm^2 give or take

#

and the floor is 4000 mm * 3000 mm, before adjusting for packing density

gusty merlin
#

Yup

#

I think we’re on the same page

pseudo basin
#

so that gives us the number of stacks as (4000 * 3000 * 0.91)/6221 = 1755 (rounded down)

#

and to find the number of cups in a stack inserted height-wise, remember n cups give a height of 107+3n mm

#

thus, 2500mm ceiling height gives us (2500-107)/3 = 797 (rounded down) cups in a stack

gusty merlin
#

our room is in metres tho - will we have to convert it at the end?

pseudo basin
#

i have already converted all lengths into millimeters.

#

the results of my calculations are dimensionless anyway bc they are counts

gusty merlin
#

OHHHHH

#

Yup got ya

pseudo basin
#

anyway, 797 * 1755 = about 1.4 million cups in the room.

#

1,398,735 is the exact value from the calculator but we are not being infinitely precise anyway

gusty merlin
#

so that

#

's

#

how many cups i need

#

to fill the room?

pseudo basin
#

well that's if we are putting them in vertical stacks

#

let's see what happens if we try to arrange the stacks horizontally instead.

#

there are two ways to do that: lengthwise or widthwise

gusty merlin
#

no thank you, I just needed one way

pseudo basin
#

maybe we can do more cups tho

#

this still gives you a ballpark though i suppose

gusty merlin
pseudo basin
#

yes

#

also i just checked

#

putting them in widthwise you can squeeze in about 2% more cups

gusty merlin
#

Omg thank you so much.

#

you are the best honestly

pseudo basin
#

oh yeah btw just for comparison purposes

#

the cup is approximately a truncated cone

gusty merlin
#

whats the volume of each one tho?

pseudo basin
#

,w conical frustum volume

gusty merlin
#

oh... thank you so much

pseudo basin
#

...okay, the bot is unresponsive again

gusty merlin
#

Haahahhaha

pseudo basin
#

and i am getting a volume that is like three times bigger than it's supposed to be...

#

oh wait no

#

i'm using diameters as radii again HowHigh

#

right ok so

#

480 ish ml from those dimensions

#

,calc 400 * 300 * 250/0.48

gusty merlin
#

62500000

pseudo basin
#

er wait no

#

480 not 0.48 my bad

#

i did it in cm this time

#

so only 62,500 cups that way

woven radishBOT
#

Result:

6.25e+7
gusty merlin
#

the volume of one cup is 62,500cm?

pseudo basin
#

no

#

cm are not a unit of volume anyway and i did not say the output of my calculations was measured in cm
