thats what theyre askign for all 3

misty escarp
#

okay so any x less than 0 should be undefined

pastel veldt
#

so would it be > 0 ?

misty escarp
#

it would be < 0

pastel veldt
#

oh

#

duh

misty escarp
#

lol I'm sorry are you tired

pastel veldt
#

ahaha

#

all good

#

i got a test on friday and im geekin out lol...

#

i really dont wanna fail

misty escarp
#

yeah that's pretty stressful

pastel veldt
#

yeah

#

i gotta retake my first exam

#

i did horrendus

misty escarp
#

what grade are you in?

pastel veldt
#

im a sophomore

#

CS major

misty escarp
#

nice

#

do you need any more help?

pastel veldt
#

yeahhh....

#

so how am i finding the F() ?

misty escarp
#

lol show me

pastel veldt
misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

F ( )

misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

oh i can

misty escarp
#

that's a relief

pastel veldt
#

so is the answer for x oing to e the same for F?

#

wait no i cant...

misty escarp
#

oh no really?!?

pastel veldt
#

yeah

misty escarp
#

that was one of my huge worries since I didn't see any other way you could do it lol

pastel veldt
#

lol

#

oh lord

misty escarp
#

who made this test 😭 I feel like it's flawed

pastel veldt
#

that maybe?

pastel veldt
#

the test is on paper...

misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

yeah idk lol

misty escarp
#

you should be entering the same x into the f(x) function

#

I guess they just messed up the website lol

pastel veldt
#

ah

misty escarp
#

unless I'm missing something still

pastel veldt
#

its fine ill be able to see the correct answer after lol ill lyk what it says

misty escarp
#

yeah I wonder

pastel veldt
#

would it be x = +- 24?

misty escarp
#

the sqrt one?

pastel veldt
#

no the new 1

pastel veldt
misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

this one

misty escarp
#

yeah

pastel veldt
#

yeah

#

is that correct?

misty escarp
#

yeah that's correct

pastel veldt
#

ah bet!

#

and yet o cant put it again..

misty escarp
#

I don't know why lmao

pastel veldt
#

ill just put that then for now

misty escarp
#

yeah that's a good substitute

pastel veldt
#

is this hard?

misty escarp
#

it shouldn't be too hard

pastel veldt
#

ok

#

what does it mean by one to one but not onto?

misty escarp
#

that means it's an injective function

#

I don't think that helps lmao

pastel veldt
#

so that means like x1 = x2?

misty escarp
# pastel veldt ok hm

f(n) = n+17 would be one to one and onto since you can find its inverse n-17 same with the f(n) = n-17

pastel veldt
#

so the next one that says not onto would be N- 17

#

oh wait

#

[N/2]?

misty escarp
#

I wish I could explain this better

pastel veldt
#

ur good lol

#

im kinda picking it up

misty escarp
#

I don't think I'm good enough lol

pastel veldt
#

lmao ur doing great

misty escarp
#

I should have studied more lmao I haven't done enough questions like this

pastel veldt
#

really?

#

what chapter r u on?

misty escarp
#

I've kind of just accelerated to advanced topics without slowly absorbing all the stuff I should be learning in that journey

pastel veldt
#

ah

misty escarp
#

I'm familiar with this I just haven't ever done it enough to just answer quickly

pastel veldt
#

ahah ur good lol

misty escarp
#

I'm pretty sure f(n)=17 would be surjective since you're taking all N and putting that onto this single number 17

#

so that's onto but not one-to-one

pastel veldt
#

ah ok

#

ill lyk what the awnser is for that first couple in a sec

misty escarp
#

okay

pastel veldt
misty escarp
#

I believe n/2 would be onto and one-to-one aswell

pastel veldt
misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

ah xD

#

all good lol

#

im screwed for this test lol

#

its from chapter 2/3

misty escarp
#

I was pretty much as clueless as you lmao

pastel veldt
#

ah lmao

#

u still passed da class xD

misty escarp
#

lmao

pastel veldt
#

maybe ill be there by december

#

we shall see lol

misty escarp
#

yeah

#

I really got to study this more basic stuff some more

#

I've forgotten all of it

pastel veldt
#

ah

misty escarp
pastel veldt
#

lmao

#

def a lil weird

misty escarp
#

brb

misty escarp
misty escarp
#

it's embarrassing that I didn't notice that

pastel veldt
#

ahahh its ok

misty escarp
#

lol well obviously I have some studying to do

#

I think we should close this help channel now

#

good luck on the test lol maybe by then I could help you with the material on it

pastel veldt
#

ahaha ok

teal island
#

Hello I need help with a few things I've never seen before

restive river
#

just post the question(s)

teal island
#

Okay so I'm grade 9 and I've never seen this stuff before

#

I'm doing exam prep but I can't go to the next algebra level without finishing these questions

zinc veldt
#

you need to understand how the graph is affected by changing the coefficient of x^2

teal island
#

Yes please!

#

Understanding would be better than just getting the answer tho its not necessary, I just need to get everytime right to go to the next stage

#

What's h(x)?

zinc veldt
teal island
#

I'm asking for the answers because I can't get to the part I actually have to practice without getting past these questions

zinc veldt
#

xd

#

well idk the full questions

#

post a screenshot with the full question

#

not multiple bc it’s confusing for me

teal island
#

Oh ok

#

The graph for context

zinc veldt
#

bruh the graph isn’t even to scale

teal island
#

😰😭

zinc veldt
#

I was gonna say try plugging in x=1

teal island
#

The first 2 questions are about this graph

teal island
zinc veldt
#

anyway f(x) is 2x^2 and h(x) = -1/2 x^2

teal island
#

Ohhh

#

Thanks you

zinc veldt
#

it’s the middle one

teal island
#

Thank youu

zinc veldt
#

you know how to solve -x^2+4=0?

#

solve for x

#

that is the x intercept

teal island
#

Ohhhh okay

#

Then what's the zero...

zinc veldt
#

the x intercept is always (some number, 0)

#

because the y coordinate is always 0

#

vice versa for y intercept

teal island
#

So there's 2 axis on a graph

zinc veldt
#

well there’s always 2 axes

#

x and y axes

teal island
#

And x and y occupy both lines where the meeting point is 0 the graph functions cross the sectors?

zinc veldt
#

but this specific function intersects the x axis twice

teal island
zinc veldt
teal island
#

Yeah I'd rather notbget into that when I can't even do this stuff😭😭😭

zinc veldt
#

lol

#

dw you’ll get it with practice

teal island
#

This app is so mean, you can't advance if you don't get 100

teal island
#

I'm even seeing weird pitch forks dude

zinc veldt
#

it’s the intersecting one

teal island
#

And outlined letters

#

3?

zinc veldt
#

ye

#

idk the order of the images lol

teal island
#

Ohh

#

Oki

#

How can you do this stuff so quick

#

Are you a math wizard👀

zinc veldt
#

if you learn how to graph a quadratic function these will be pretty easy

teal island
#

SEE THERE'S PITCHFORKS

zinc veldt
#

lol

#

look at the graph of g(x)

#

tell me what you see

teal island
zinc veldt
#

wrong graph I think lol

#

unless this is a separate problem?

teal island
#

Oops

zinc veldt
#

is this related to the previous problem

teal island
#

Nope

zinc veldt
#

oh

#

nvm then

zinc veldt
teal island
#

nd a small cute V

zinc veldt
#

they technically are both U

#

lol

teal island
#

Its on 2, 2s

zinc veldt
#

one is just smaller

teal island
#

Ohhh

#

It's on a 2 and 4

zinc veldt
# teal island

well actually they didn’t show the full graph but they go on forever

teal island
#

Ohhhh

zinc veldt
teal island
#

So there has to be an infinity somewhere

teal island
zinc veldt
teal island
#

OHHHI FOUND THE THIBGY

#

So this is the true question

zinc veldt
#

oh lol

teal island
#

Everything else is based on this

zinc veldt
#

for this

#

because that’s the answer

teal island
#

The graph?

zinc veldt
#

yes

teal island
zinc veldt
#

no

#

the other graph

#

the intersecting one

teal island
zinc veldt
teal island
#

Ohhh

zinc veldt
#

that’s the answer btw

zinc veldt
teal island
#

Ohhhhhhh

#

Dude I really hope I don't do this next year

#

This looks complicated

zinc veldt
#

lol

#

well you need practice

#

idk why they are making you do a quiz without practice

#

tbh I would go experiment on desmos if you have free time

teal island
#

Desmos?

zinc veldt
#

yeah it’s a cool graphing tool

teal island
#

So is it on app store

#

All of these are based on the same question 😎💀

zinc veldt
#

there might be an app too but idk

teal island
#

I'll definitely check it out!!!

teal island
#

Thanks for telling me about it btw

teal island
zinc veldt
#

np

zinc veldt
teal island
#

Yep

zinc veldt
#

or are there more after that

#

like question 3 💀

teal island
#

There's a 3 more

teal island
zinc veldt
#

3 more parts or questions lol

teal island
#

This is why we need to protest against Swedish schools I stg

zinc veldt
#

I just don’t get why they’re making you do a quiz instead of practice

#

anyway it’s like 12:46am here and I think I need sleep 💀

#

sorryyy

teal island
#

Gnnn

#

Thanks for helping thoo

zinc veldt
#

thx

#

and good luck

teal island

@restive river are you trying to convert nanograms to microliters?

charred zodiac
#

Also remember that you can use the conversion factor
15.3336 g/cm³

or

1 cm³/(15.3336 g)

#

Which one is appropriate for this case in order to get the volume?

#

Then, you have to convert the resulting volume to liters

How did this
X + 4y = 1
Turn into this
X = 1 - 4y

dapper tiger
#

by subtracting 4y from both sides

jaunty abyss
#

Wouldn’t - 4y come before the 1

#

Or no

smoky nimbus

Ok

X = -4y + 1 and X = 1 - 4y are the same

How do these look for A2 and A3

#

Theyre not like fully formatted proofs obviously but like the work is there, right? and this holds up?

#

A1 and A4 I am more or less completely lost on

#

I know A4 is strong induction but I lowkey barely know how to do that

trail eagle
#

Hum I think you might need to review induction or something. Your base cases aren't what they should be and your induction steps don't show that n implies n+1 at all.

#

For A2, your base case is n=1, so you must show that F_3 is even.

Then the induction step is done by assuming that is holds for some k (so that means that F_(3k) is even) and showing that this implies the k+1 case (F_(3(k+1)) is even).

lime dome
#

Okay, so base case is n=1 which is f_3(1) which is just f_3

#

ok

#

i move frmo here

#

heres this

#

i keep going

trail eagle
#

Yes that works for your base case

lime dome
#

ok

#

so now I say

#

Assume there exists k such that f_3k is even

trail eagle
#

Yes.

lime dome
#

so this is inductive step

#

im confused how this is supposed to show even though

trail eagle
#

First off the second term is F_(3k+1) not F_(3k-1)

lime dome
#

right

#

im dumb

#

ty

trail eagle
#

Second off, remember that what you would like is to have F_(3k) to appear there because the only assumption you made is that F_(3k) is even.

#

Maybe expand F_(3k+2)?

lime dome
#

i think theres some algebra im missing

trail eagle
#

Again, just expand F_(3k+2).

lime dome
#

i dont know what that means

#

im sorry

#

my brain is dying

trail eagle
#

As in use the definition of the sequence again.

#

On F_(3k+2).

lime dome
#

do I like plug into k?

#

to expand?

trail eagle
#

No just do the same thing you just did with F_(3k+3).

lime dome
trail eagle
#

Use the definition of the sequence : F_n = F_(n-1) + F_(n-2)

lime dome
#

i seriously dont know what im missing and I feel so dumb

#

where do I apply that definition

#

like

#

do I replace k with k-1?

trail eagle
#

Right, so you went from F_(3k+3) to F_(3k+2) + F_(3k+1). Just do the same thing with the F_(3k+2) term.

lime dome
#

do u get f_3k+1 + f_3k

trail eagle
#

Yes.

lime dome
#

so f_3k is even

#

but how do we should f_3k+1 is even

trail eagle
#

What do you have in total now?

lime dome
#

oh

#

2f_3k+1

trail eagle
#

Yes,

lime dome
#

the sum of two even integers is even so we can conclude it seven

trail eagle
#

Indeed.

lime dome
#

ok so lets move on to a3 if thats ok

trail eagle
#

Yes.

lime dome
#

so we proved f_3 is even

#

and f2 is odd since f_2 is 1

#

so its an even + odd integer

#

which is odd

#

right?

lime dome
#

heres what I have so far

trail eagle
#

That works, but you would need to explain a bit more when you actually type everything out. It's not clear without your explanation why F_3 and F_2 sum up to an odd number.

lime dome
#

do I necesarily need induction for this?

trail eagle
#

No. It just seems out of the blue, especially when a student writes it. Just explain in your words what you conclude

#

Because as far as a correcter is concerned, you just wrote that F_{4} = F_{3} + F_{2} and F_{5} = F_{4} + F_{3}.

#

It's not really insightful, you need to explain your thought process. Why do you stop there? What makes this a base case to the theorem you're trying to prove?

lime dome
#

At least for f_3n+1 i dont think we need induction at all right?

#

idrk about f_3n+2

trail eagle
#

I don't get how you came to the conclusion that F_{3n+1} is odd.

lime dome
#

ok 1 sec

#

F_2 is 1 which is odd

#

we just proved F_3 is even

#

odd + even = odd

trail eagle
#

That works yes.

#

But here you know this because you know F_2 is odd. How can you now say that F_{3n+1} is even without any form of induction?

lime dome
#

I guess so

#

so the base case holds i guess but I dont see what more induction we need to do

trail eagle
#

Well you showed F_4 and F_5 are odd. And for some reason you just conclude that it works for any number that isn't a multiple of 3?

lime dome
#

right

#

so lets move back

#

so now we know the base case for f_3n+1 holds

#

so we move to induction hypothesis

#

Suppose there exists k such that f_3k+1 is odd

#

this right?

trail eagle
#

Yes. I would do both at the same time though, just like you did both F_4 and F_5 together.

lime dome
#

so I know my reasoning for f_4

#

wait

#

righgt

#

ok

#

one sec

#

How does this look?

trail eagle
#

Yeah that 's good for the hypothesis.

lime dome
#

I have f_3(k+1)+1

#

=f_3k+3+1 = f_3k+4

trail eagle
#

Again, you have to use what you know from the premises of your problem. You know the definition of the fibonacci sequence and you know from that induction hypothesis that f_{3k+1} and f_{3k+2} are odd. Use those.

lime dome
#

right so I need f_3k+1 or f_3k+2 to show up

#

f_3k+4 = f_3k+3 + f_3k+1

#

is this true?

lime dome
trail eagle
#

It's the sum of the last two terms, not the last one and the third to last one.

lime dome
#

f_3k+3 + f_3k+2

#

right?

trail eagle
#

Yes.

lime dome
#

this reduces to f_3k+3 + F_3k+2

#

do I expand it again?

#

i think so, right?

#

then I get it to (f_3k+2 +f_3k+1 )+(f_3k+1+f_3k)

#

we know f_3k is even and f_3k+1 is odd so thats odd

#

do we know the parity of f_3k+2?

#

i guess so because we can change it to f_3k+1 + f_3k + f_3k+1

#

which is odd + even which is odd

#

then odd + odd which is eve

#

so we get odd + even

#

which is odd

trail eagle
lime dome
#

oh

#

right

#

tha works too

#

lol

#

that finishes the entire proof right?

lime dome
#

Could we work on A4 ?

trail eagle
trail eagle
#

I mean the question asks that?

#

To show that F_{3n+2} is always odd

lime dome
#

i thought this showed both f_3n+1 and f_3n+2

#

i guess we have to redo it for that one

lime dome
trail eagle
#

Well in your hypothesis you have F_{3n+1} and F_{3n+2} odd. Now you proved that F_{3n+4} is odd and you have yet to show that F_{3n+5} is odd.

lime dome
#

gonna write it more formally in latex

#

but how does this look

trail eagle
#

Yes that seems alright. Do note though that since you've just proven that F_{3k+4} is odd, you don't need to split it further.

lime dome
#

nice

trail eagle
#

Yes.

lime dome
# trail eagle Yes.

this one i kind of have 0 clue what to do. give me a few mins to look at it again

lime dome
#

a2 and a3 i at least had an idea of what I needed to show and do

#

but a1 and a4 are just

#

not it

trail eagle
#

Start with base cases.

#

You want to show that a_n = (n+1)2^n for all n, so what about those easy cases (a_0, a_1)? Do they satisfy it?

lime dome
#

i dont understand that

#

wait

#

nvm lol

lime dome
#

moving on to induction hypothesis

#

Suppose there exists k such that e_k = ((k+1)+1)2^(k+1)

#

how does that look

trail eagle
#

Hum for your base case I guess it's just a typo but 2*2 is not 2.

lime dome
#

yes

#

lol

#

whoops

lime dome
trail eagle
#

Hum you suppose that the formula holds for some k.

#

e_k = (k+1)2^k

lime dome
#

true

#

mb

#

In this specific case, I think it's better using either the assumption that the last two cases hold, or some stronger assumption like that any case less than k+1 hold

trail eagle
#

So you prove using a specific formula for e_n. However, the recursive definition of the sequence uses the previous two terms. When you try to do the inductive step by proving the formula holds for e_{k+1}, you will eventually have to deal with e_k AND e_{k-1}

#

So if you only assume that the formula holds for e_k, you're kind of stuck

lime dome
#

So this is strong induction then

trail eagle
#

Some form of it

#

It is your choice how strong you want your assumption to be. Ensuring that the last two terms hold works fine here. You can also assume that all the previous terms hold, which is what you usually would call "strong" induction.

lime dome
#

wouldnt assuming all the previous terms hold be easier?

trail eagle
#

It would be the exact same argument tbh, since you would really only use the last two.

#

But strong induction works here so you can go with that

lime dome
#

how do inductive hypothesis change when doing strongi nduction?

#

how exactly are all cases denoted?

trail eagle
#

Hum you could say suppose e_n = (1+n)2^n for all n <= k. Then you show that is must hold for e_{k+1}.

lime dome
#

So moving into the start of the inductive step we get e_k+1=(1+(k+1)2^(k+1)

trail eagle
#

Well this is what you want to show, you can't really start with that.

lime dome
#

LOL

#

right

#

idk whatI was thinking

trail eagle
#

Btw, this whole thing about induction is really just about the way we construct natural numbers. The set N is defined as the set that contains 1 AND such that for any n in N, n+1 is in N as well. (so 1 in N, then 2 in N, 3 in N, so on.)

What you're doing when using this for proving is that you're given some proposition and you let S be the set of natural numbers that satisfy this proposition.

Then you show that 1 is in S (this is your base case) and you show that if n is in S (inductive hypothesis) then n+1 is in S (induction step). Then you can conclude from the construction that S = N (all natural numbers satisfy the proposition)

Strong induction is just an alternative way of saying it. Here, you show that 1 is in S (base case(s), can be more that 1) and you show that if 1, 2, 3 ,... n is in S (induction hypothesis) , then n+1 is in S (inductive step).

languid sorrel
#

How can I assume concavity from this graph? I thought the inflection point was C, but I guess it isn't

hybrid snow
#

Omori also blew my brains out

languid sorrel
#

HAHA

hybrid snow
#

Okay so you can kinda think of concavity as like cups

languid sorrel
#

yeah :)

#

okay

hybrid snow
#

So like where would the function be cupping down versus cupping up

#

And where it switches cupping is the inflection point

#

Depressed cubics tend to inflect at the origin

#

Or somewhere on the x axis if they're not shifted upwards

#

Oh but that graph is f'(x)

#

Okay so you gotta use sign analysis instead

#

Mb I thought it was f(x)

languid sorrel
#

ohhh

hybrid snow
#

If that's the graph of f'(x), then you're just looking where f'(x) is increasing and decreasing

#

Where f''(x) > 0 => f'(x) is increasing, you have a concave up region

languid sorrel
#

ohh

#

would points B and D be inflection points?

hybrid snow
#

Ye

languid sorrel
#

so it's concave up, down, up?

hybrid snow
#

Seems to be so

languid sorrel
hybrid snow
#

Unless I'm just dumb

it worked!! thanks so much

deep wing
#

im working on finding the mclaurin series for this function

deep wing
#

i got this

#

is this correcT? it made the derivatives and created a formula but it seems that formula is just the definition of a mclaurin series

acoustic leaf
#

you should come up with a formula for $f^{(n)}(0)$ and use that in your expression

woven radishBOT
deep wing
#

hmm

deep wing
#

cause f^(n)(0) is
1
1
2
6
24
120

#

so it be $\frac{n! \cdot x^n}{n!}$

woven radishBOT
acoustic leaf
#

yes

#

now you just simplify

deep wing
#

ohhh

#

i see now

#

ty ty

acoustic leaf
#

notice that we've essentially derived the geometric series formula from the opposite direction

deep wing
#

hmm i think i kinda see it

#

could you elaborate a bit more?

acoustic leaf
#

we know that a geometric series is in the form $\sum r^n$, and by the geometric sum formula $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} ar^n = \frac{a}{1-r}$.

On the other hand, we find that if we take the expression $\frac{1}{1-x}$, the maclaurin series for it is $\frac{1}{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^n $.

If we take $a=1$ and $x=r$, we find that they are identical. The only difference is that in one case we started with a series and got a function, and in the other case we started with a function and ended with a series.

woven radishBOT
deep wing
#

ahhh i see what you mean

#

thats interesting, thanks for the detailed explanation

#

i had a final question

#

if im testing for the interval of convergence

#

for this one its (-1,1) but i must check at the end points

#

at -1 i have

#

sum (-1)^n

#

whic would just be 0 since -1 would oscilate and cancel its self

#

no since it equals 0 as n approaches infinity i can say that it converges correcT?

#

or did i mix up the definition

acoustic leaf
#

the sequence doesn't converge since it just switches between -1 and 1 forever, never settling on one or the other. Similarly, the series just flips between 0 and 1 (or -1 and 0, depending on your starting point) forever, so it also doesn't converge. It's a little counterintuitive since we're used to diverging series shooting off to infinity but there are also other ways to diverge

acoustic leaf
deep wing
#

so when testing endpoints

#

i should plug in the end point for x

#

then evaluate the limit

#

and in this one it happend to be (-1)^n which dosent diverge since it osiclates

#

it dosent approach anything as n goes to infinity

acoustic leaf
#

plug in the end point for x, then evaluate the convergence of that particular series. If it diverges by the limit of the sequence not approaching 0, then stop there. if it doesn't, try other methods (usually the ratio test, sometimes alternating series test)

deep wing
#

yup thats what i did

#

at one end point we had the above

#

and the other it went to infinity

#

so diverging at both ends

#

converges for (-1,1)

#

thanks for the help!

How do I solve for a b c d using simultaneous equations

<@&286206848099549185>

#

<@&286206848099549185>

restive river
dull forum
#

yes

restive river
#

lets start with eq 4

dull forum
#

yeah so I just do it through elimination no?

restive river
#

yh thats one way

#

another long one is getting each in terms of the other, like c= -3a(270)^2 + ....

dull forum
#

i did eq 3 - eq 1

#

which = eq 5

#

then eq 5 - eq 4= eq 6

#

eq 4 - eq 2 =eq 7

#

eq 7 - eq 6 = eq 8 to make just a

#

but i think it doesnt work

restive river
#

can i see all those

dull forum
#

im kinda only up to eq 7 - eq 6 tho

restive river
#

when i do the elimination method, i usually do it with a matrix

#

catThin4K not sure if its too early for you

dull forum
#

but i have to do it with simultaneous equations

#

its just cuz its for an assignmetn and i have to show algebraic working

#

my course didnt teach matrices

restive river
#

okay one moment

dull forum
#

could you show me how to do it thru simultaneous equations?

restive river
#

Eq 4
$$0 = 3a(270)^2 + 2b(270) + c$$

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

c=?

dull forum
#

so like this?

#

c=-3a(270)^2 -2b(270)

#

but i still need d

restive river
dull forum
#

wait lemme try

restive river
#

i hope these equations are correct to begin with, what was the original question

dull forum
#

wait idk what u mean

restive river
dull forum
restive river

#

so once i sub in which i did,

#

how do i get d?

restive river
restive river
dull forum
#

like this?

restive river
# dull forum

yh but my god that is messy couldnt you have found lower values for x and y so we didnt have to deal with 270^3 etc

restive river
dull forum
#

nah its cuz im trynna plug points into a polynomialk

#

cubic

restive river
#

270^3 = 19.6mded

dull forum
#

so just simplify the numbers

restive river
dull forum
#

its an assignmetn

#

but im trynna plug in the points (200,10) into this polymial

#

and make it have the same gradient as the previous function i had which is an exponential

#

so it looks like this

restive river
#

and dude can you respectfully change your pfp

dull forum
#

the purple line is this function im working out

#

ive done it on calculator

#

but i have to show how to do it algebraically

restive river
dull forum
dull forum
#

its a rlly rare pic man

#

u cant find it anymore

#

i dont even know where it is anymore

marble snow

can someone just double check if i did this correctly?

pale bolt
#

what does "combine together" mean

#

its too informal

#

but yes, the idea is right

#

oh you also missed a set of parenthesis in the first line you wrote

#

the g(x) also needs to be negated

marble snow

pale bolt
marble snow
#

oh yup i just fixed that haha

#

thank u

#

so just change up “combine” to add?

pale bolt
#

you should actually add them together in another step, then take another step to "factor" it to be in the same form as the first line

#

also you are assuming you can always just add things that are within limits, but thats fine now

does that look better?

peak dagger
#

About calculus:
Given x and t are related by a function f such that x = f(t), we want to evaluate (d/dt)(dt/dx).
The normal way to do is to find dx/dt by differentiate x = f(t) and substitute it into equation. So in this case we do (d/dt)(1/f'(t)).
But I'm thinking something else. By refering to the chain rule dy/dx = dy/dt × dt/dx, the dt looks like can cancel each other out so this chain rule works. So I'm thinking of cancelling dt for (d/dt)(dt/dx) to get (d/dx)(1) which evaluates to 0. This is obviously wrong, but where goes wrong by doing this way?

$\frac{d}{dt}\frac{dt}{dx}$ is essentially meaningless, I think you mistyped something

The first equation is proven by chain rule, the second equation can be done by same thing
Like d²y/dx² = (d/dt)(dy/dx) × dt/dx
And since dy/dx = dy/dt × dt/dx,
(d/dt)(dy/dx) = (dt/dx) × (d/dt)(dy/dt) + (dy/dt) × (d/dt)(dt/dx)

#

The last term is (d/dt)(dt/dx)

#

Which is what i want to find

hmm yeah i have 8pi/3 as the angle

golden thorn

now you can convert it to the principle arguement by subtracting 2pi!

opal cloak

how would i show that

#

sinx and cosx are 2pi periodic

golden thorn
#

$Arg(w^4)=\frac{8\pi}{3} - 2\pi$

woven radishBOT
#

golden thorn
#

thus $w^4 = cis(\frac{2\pi}{3}) $ which means that $w^4 = w$

In this task we want to evaluate if Jaccard similarity on a full set of k-mers is a
suitable measure of sequence similarity. To this end, we will use randomly mutated
genomes for different values of mutation probablity p. We will consider 1-p as the
true genome similarity (the percentage of bases that were conserved) and see if
the Jaccard similarity is in some way related to this value.

  1. Write a mathematical formula in your report giving the probability that a
    k-mer at a fixed position in the original genome does not contain any mutation
    in the mutated version for some value of p (the formula will use parameters k
    and p).

$Pr(p,k) = (1-p)^k$

let z = cosθ+isinθ. Determine z^2 in two different ways and hence show that:
(a) cos2θ = cos^2θ-sin^2θ
(b) sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ

opal cloak
#

i dont get the 2 different ways

#

i know cos2θ and sin2θ are both double angle identities which appear when i solve for z^2

the two ways they're referring to are

When we say that the absolute value decreases, does it mean that it goes from larger to smaller? I mean 5 4 3 2 1

winter patrol
#

magnitude gets smaller

#

could also involve negative values

wooden veldt
#

e.g. 5 -4 3 -2 1 is a sequence where the absolute value of the terms decreases, but the numbers themself arent decreasing

... there must be another way---

#

i can't do this by pen and pencil on an exam.

Given function: \ $f(x) = \sin(-10x^{2})$ \ Find the Taylor polynomial of f(x) of degree 8 and centered at x0 = 0.

woven radishBOT
#

HqppyFeet

untold crow
#

Wait- perhaps I found a technique

#

This is the formula for Taylor polynomials... knowing that a = x0

#

So the second derivative (then inserted to (f''(a)/2!)(x-a)^2) is \ $\frac{-20((\cos(10(x_0)^{2}))-20(x_0)^{2}(\sin(10(x_0)^{2})))}{2!}$

Yea you're going about this all wrong

Plug -10x^2 into the sine series, then evaluate the series at 0

untold crow

#

Degree is not the same as number of terms

#

Do you know what the degree of a polynomial is?

untold crow
#

yeah, the power above the x.

#

right?

untold crow
supple knot
#

x^2 + x +7 has degrees 2

untold crow
#

yup, got that idea

#

so if we are trying to find the taylor polynomial of f(x) of degree 8, would we find the answer through k = 8?

supple knot
untold crow
#

honestly I thought that the "degree 8" would mean that we would have to derive the expression eight times 😅

untold crow
#

nevermind that doesn't make sense

#

when k = 2, I'm getting $\frac{(-10x^{2})^{5}}{5!}$

#

doesn't look pretty.

woven radishBOT
#

HqppyFeet

supple knot
#

Yea what degree is that

untold crow
#

10th xd

devout snowBOT
#

@untold crow Has your question been resolved?

untold crow
#

We are trying to find P_8 (x). And it looks like I just have to deal with it and find the eighth derivative.
We know that x_0 = a = 0, so the number behind the x_0 can just be simplified to 1.

untold crow
#

wait a minute

#

to get the 8th degree...

#

when k = 1, \ $\frac{(-10x^{2})^{3}}{3!}$

woven radishBOT
#

HqppyFeet

untold crow
#

that gives us a degree of 6.
