Okay, I think I see it.

We can do (-1^2)^m = [(-1)(-1)]^m = [1]^m = 1, since 1 raised to any positive integer is 1.

#

yeah sure

#

Awesome. Thank you 🙂

Prove that the integral from 0 to pi/2 of cos^n(t)dt is strictly > 0. We need a proof, we cannot just say since cos^n(t) > 0 then the integral > 0.

stone stump
#

if cos^n(t)>0, then you can find some interval [a,b] such that cos^n(t) > 1/k all t in [a,b] for some natural k

stark knoll
#

I’m sorry I don’t understand, but on the interval given (0 ; pi/2), cos^n(t) is > 0. I agree with that, but I don’t understand what does it says about the integral

@stark knoll

#

$has your question been answered?

stark knoll
#

I’m struggling to find a way to prove that the integral of cos^n(t) on the interval [0;pi/2] is positive

#

No :/

restive river
#

hmm im not sure i know tha try puting it in help-forum and wait

stark knoll
#

It’s really that simple ?

#

Oh

#

It’s cos^n (t), not cos(nt)

devout snowBOT

#

We haven’t proven this, which is making the question kinda hard

pearl plume
#

(if you haven't seen that proved, it's because any riemann sum for f is positive - after all, every term f(x*) delta x is going to be positive. and the limit of a sequence of nonnegative numbers is nonnegative, so the limit o the riemann sums is nonnegative)

pearl plume
#

It's a little tricky

stark knoll
#

I think I did it earlier, is it something along the line of this ?

#

Un = (cos^n+1(x)sin(x))/n - n-1/n * integral of cos^n-2(x) ?

#

Sorry don’t know the Tex commands

#

But i didn’t manage to use it since n isn’t defined

pearl plume
#

it's some kind of integration by parts thing like that

#

Well, you'd get a recurrence and then you'd need to prove the terms of the recurrence are always positive. but that might not be super easy

#

Let me think for a moment

#

If n is odd, I would write $\cos^n(x) = \cos^{n-1}(x) \cos(x)$. When you integrate by parts, you get
$$ \cos^{n-1}(x) \sin(x) \Big|_0^{\pi/2} - \int_0^{\pi/2} (n-1) \cos^{n-2}(x) (-\sin(x)) \sin(x) dx $$

woven radishBOT
stark knoll
#

Oh, that looks like something I did for the following question

pearl plume
#

First of all, the first term is 0 unless n = 1. When n > 1, we have cos^(n-1)(pi/2) = 0, and we have sin(0) = 0, so both the left and right endpoints give 0.

#

Then, we get
\begin{align*}\int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^n(x) dx &= (n - 1) \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^{n-2}(x) \sin^2(x) dx \
&= (n - 1) \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^{n-2}(x) (1 - \cos^2(x)dx \
&= (n - 1) \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^{n-2}(x) dx - (n - 1) \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos^n(x) dx
\end{align*}

#

Ack

#

one sec

woven radishBOT
pearl plume
#

There we go

#

Im missing one more parenthesis somewhere. Whatever

#

So now, how do we find the integral of cos^n in terms of the integral of cos^(n-2)?

stark knoll
#

And you get $$\int_0^{pi/2} cos^n = {n-1}/n * \int_0^{pi/2} cos^{n-2}$$

woven radishBOT
#

zarblug

pearl plume
#

Exactly

#

So, what happens if the integral of cos^0 is positive (we know it is)

stark knoll
#

And that’s the part where I got stuck, I think I just forgot to to until n = 2

#

Yeah cuz cos^0 = 1

pearl plume
#

Yeah

#

so now integral of cos^2 is (2-1)/2 times integral cos, which is a positive number times a positive number

stark knoll
#

And we do that all the way, so we have only positive terms

pearl plume
#

Yep

#

This lets you deal with all the even n's

#

How about the odd n's? Where do you start there

stark knoll
#

I don’t really see why it matters tho

#

We can just integrate by part if n is odd no ?

pearl plume
#

Yeah but each time you go down by -2

#

Instead of by -1

#

so for even n's, we get down to cos^0

stark knoll
#

Oh we know the integral of cos^1

pearl plume
#

for odd n's we get to cos^1

#

Ya

stark knoll
#

Which is sin

#

And sin on our interval is positive

#

I think that’s it right ?

pearl plume
#

yeah. interestingly this tells you that the formula for the integral will involve pi when n is even and wont involve pi when n is odd. when n is even, it's (n-1)/n * (n-3)/(n-2) * ... * (1/2) * pi/2
and when n is odd, it's (n-1)/n * (n-3)/(n-2) * ... * (2/3) * 1

pearl plume
stark knoll
#

It was not that hard overall, I just didn’t think of using the answer we found afterwards ^^

#

Anyways thx for the help, I was stuck for quite a while there

pearl plume
#

If you want a formal proof, you would use induction to say "base case: for n = 0 and n = 1, the integral is positive because... (calculations)
inductive step: for n > 1, suppose integral cos^(n-2) is positive. the integral of cos^n equals (n-1)/n * integral of cos^(n-2). since n - 1 > 0, (n - 1)/n > 0, and by the inductive assumption, this means integral cos^n is a product of 2 positive numbers. so integral cos^n is positive.

Is this the correct definition of a function? Say, we replace "one or more" with "two". Do we then have a function?

topaz axle
#

so you found rc = 10c + 12r + 1

#

rc - 12r = 10c + 1
c−12 = (10c+1)/r
r = (10c+1)/(c-12)

#

from this you can find a c by trial and error

#

but there's probably some smart way

#

but i don't know

devout snowBOT
#

@lapis pelican Has your question been resolved?

lapis pelican
#

do i have to try every number

topaz axle
#

yeah, i'm not sure why i suggested it

#

it would work though

#

you start with c=13

#

any less would make negative r, doens;t make sense

#

eventually it would divide

#

it's stupid i know

#

oh i googled it, it's a competish

astral sigil
#

uh so 12b + 10g + 1 = rows x columns

lapis pelican
#

yes i think so

#

but idk what to do next

astral sigil
#

yeah im doing it one sec

#

12r +10c+1=rc
12r + 10c < 1000

#

ok i think i got it

#

so this is basically
rc-12r-10c = 1

#

then
rc-12r-10c+120 = 121

#

(r-10)(c-12) = 121

#

so if we take (r-10) = (c-12) = 11

#

we get r as 21 and c as 23

#

21x23 =483

#

@lapis pelican uh idk if it's correct

#

best i could do

lapis pelican
#

how did u factorise?

astral sigil
lapis pelican
#

where did u get 120

#

?

astral sigil
#

is it correct?

lapis pelican
#

how can u factor these

#

i dont get it

astral sigil
#

no there's a method

lapis pelican
#

what method

astral sigil
#

dm

lapis pelican
#

dm?

astral sigil
lapis pelican
#

k

astral sigil
#

basically adding 120 helped me find a pair to satisfy the eq

lapis pelican
#

lemme check

lapis pelican
#

can u summarise the steps for a diophantine equations pls

astral sigil
#

basically what happens is
rc-12r-10c = 1

now to represent the LHS as something like
(r-a)(c-b) = d

we can just try rearranging so that we get that
so
(r-10)(c-12) ==> rc -10c-12r-120

so we've got an extra 120 which we can add to the RHS
giving
(r-10)(c-12) = 121

lapis pelican
#

yes

#

but whats next

astral sigil
#

121 x 1 wont work as later it exceeds the 1000 limit

#

11x11 works just fine

lapis pelican
#

and that pair should be a natural number as we r dealing with peoples

#

right

#

?

#

@astral sigil ?

lapis pelican
#

@astral sigil

astral sigil
#

for 121 x 1, it is either r=131 and c = 13 or r = 11 and c = 133

#

the values will exceed 1000 when plugged into the equation for number of boys and girls

#

so we use 11x11

Anyone who can hint what I am supposted to do here?

thin inlet
#

What must be true about a pmf?

#

about the values it takes and its probabilities overall?

#

@thorn sage

thorn sage
#

Hmm..

#

This, perhaps?

thin inlet
#

Well, I mean more in a general sense, like what should be true for a dice roll and the probability of all its outcomes

#

also

thorn sage
#

And that probability is > 0 and = 1

thin inlet
#

yes

#

use that fact

#

:)

thorn sage
#

Damn...

#

P(X=1) = 2P(X = 1 - 1)=2P(X=0)

thin inlet
#

mhm

echo steeple
#

thats some high lvl maths

thorn sage
#

And P(X=2) = 2P(X = 2 - 1)=2P(X=1)

thin inlet
#

and X can be only 0,1,2 in your sample space yes?

thin inlet
#

using the previous equation you wrote

thorn sage
thin inlet
#

well as you wrote, P(X=1)=2P(X=0), and what is P(X=2) equal to?

#

@thorn sage

thorn sage
#

UHm...

#

2P(X=2-1)

thin inlet
#

which is 2P(X=1)

thorn sage
#

Yes

thin inlet
#

and we have that P(X=1)=2P(X=0)...right?

#

so it would make sense to write

#

P(X=2)=2(2P(X=0))

thorn sage
#

P(X=1)=2P(X=1-1)=2P(X=0), yes

thin inlet
#

so we have that P(X=2)=4P(X=0)

thorn sage
#

AAh!

#

I see it

thin inlet
#

sometimes it is easier to understand this more if you say it in words, because I know then notation can get a bit strange. What P(X=0) is saying, is 'the probability that our random variable X, is equal to 0'

#

and then do you see how you could solve for P(X=0) using what you know about pmfs?

#

then find P(X=1), P(X=2) from therE?

thorn sage
#

For X=2 we have 2P(X=2-1)=2P(X=1) and we know P(X=1) is equal to 2*P(X=0) so really we have 2(2)P(X=0) =4P(X=0)

#

P(X=1)=2P(X=1-1)=2P(X=0)
P(X=2)=2P(X=2-1)=2P(X=1)

So,

2P(X=1)=2(2)P(X=0)=4P(X=0)

#

Wait lmao

#

I forgot to insert the right ones

#

I assume it was

2P(X=0)+4P(X=0) = 1
instead of
P(X=0)+ 2P(X=0)+4P(X=0) =1
since it says

P(X=i) ... for i = 1,2

#

P(X=0)+ 2P(X=0)+4P(X=0) =1
7P(X=0) = 1

#

P(X=0)=1/7

#

aaah! and now we have P(X=0) and we can then insert into 2P(X=0) and 4P(X=0)

thin inlet
#

mhm

#

:)

#

good job!

#

.solved

#

.close

#

agh, you need to do it, unless you got any more questions?

thorn sage
#

Just one question haha

#

Why is it P(X=0)

#

when it specifically says i=1, 2

thin inlet
#

because if you plug in i=0 you get P(X=-1) and P(X=-1) doesn't...exist

#

does that make sense?

thorn sage
#

Yes, that makes sense, but I'd definitely end up writing without P(X=0) i feel like

#

And I'd get 1/6 instead 😢

#

I don't think when i=1, 2

#

I'd think to myself to write up P(X=0)

thin inlet
#

yeah, but in this case you had to solve for P(X=0) because everything could be expressed in terms of it :)

thorn sage
#

So, do P(X=0) = 0`?

#

Or like?

thin inlet
#

uhhhh

#

no

#

P(X=0)=1/7, you got that right

#

and then you can solve for P(X=1) and P(X=2) respectively

thorn sage
#

Yes, of course but

#

I still don't quite get why it's allowed for me to just wirte P(X=0) in the equation when it states i is only for 1, and 2

thin inlet
#

ok, it's bascically saying what i you CAN plug in for the equation to hold

#

the equation won't hold for i>2 because you'll have a P(X=i=3) and P(X=3) doesn't exist in this case, and same for i=0, you'll have 2P(X=i-1)=2P(X=-1) and P(X=-1) doesn't exist either in this case

#

@thorn sage

thorn sage
#

Aaahhh!

#

So for the values i=1, 2 the domain holds, but P(X=0) still exists

#

I think it makes sense now somehow

#

That obviously i=0 wouldnt work but P(X=0)

#

still exists

rapid grove
#

okay can u help more plz sry but its a bit hard so how do i solve it ?

rapid grove
dry oxide
#

that is just a hint u need to solve your question

#

relation b/w radians and degree

#

and then u can use the relation b/w arc lenght, radius and angle to find the answer

rapid grove
#

but if its 110 not 180 what should i do ?

#

its been long since i did math and i have entrance exam thats why i am training a bit

dry oxide
rapid grove
#

ohh okay thx alot man

this was asked in class and my teacher wasn't too sure but basically why is √4 = +2 when it's equally valid to say √4 = -2

quick cave
#

Hello i need help with matrices

restive river
#

meaning, the positive root only

#

why you might ask?

#

well, going back to the definition of a function

#

an input cannot output more than one output in functions

#

meaning,
[
\m f x = \pm x
]
isn't a function

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

as it is outputting two outputs for only one correspondening input

#

the same applies for square roots

frozen aurora
restive river
#

if we have has made it [
\m f x = \pm \s x
]
then the function $\m f x = \s x$ suddenly loses its function status

Then multiplied by 6?

Currently struggling with these questions

#

For a) I have two answers

9C2 = 36
or
$\frac{(10+3-1)!}{3!(10-1)!} = 220$

woven radishBOT
#

CoshamGames

topaz axle
#

the second one is d

sacred rock
topaz axle
#

X X X X X X X X X X
10 letters have 9 empty spots

#

X X X X . X X X X . X X
putting a divider in any two divides it into 3 groups

sacred rock
topaz axle
#

i choose 2 options out of 9

#

i don't know how to think of nCr in a different way

sacred rock
topaz axle
#

you just see that there's 9 spaces

sacred rock
#

but there's 10 ?

drifting sierra
#

10 Xs, 9 spaces in between

sacred rock
#

OHHHHH

#

Okay that makes perfect sense now that first part Except, why do we look for the spaces? Is it because we want at least 1 of each ?

topaz axle
#

yes, if you put a divider at the start, where there's no space the first group has no letters

sacred rock
#

So if we wanted at least 2 letters would it become 8 spaces ?

topaz axle
#

there's no specific way to do 2+ letters

#

you kinda think of it as subtracting 3 letters, so 7 letters and 6 spaces

#

or you subtract 6 letters and do the solution for d)

sacred rock
#

Okay so

#

For Qb)

#

I know the resulting answer will be kC2 (Using your analogy, any 2 dividers will leave 2 of each letter minimum in each group) right?

#

But how do I find k

topaz axle
#

it would be 6

#

you assign 1+1+1 letters to make each group hae at least 1 letter
7 letters are left, which have 6 spaces

#

and that again makes each group have at least 1 letter

#

it would make more sense if you do it with the second method

topaz axle
#

the 220

#

hm

sacred rock
#

How would i put this into the formula though to find 6C2 from just knowing I want 2 of each letter etc ?

topaz axle
#

okay that's not how it goes, the denominator is (3−1)!10!

drifting sierra
#

There is one method you can use for all five questions

topaz axle
#

yeah, based on d)

drifting sierra
#

Basically yes, it's called n multichoose k

#

Aka multisets

sacred rock
#

Could you explain how I'd do that? I'm pretty stuck on combinatorics

topaz axle
#

look at d)
we don't care if a group has 0 letters, we freely permute the dividers mixed with the letters
XXXXXXXXXX||
we get 12c2

sacred rock
topaz axle
#

it's not 220 you did that wrong, exactly

#

(3−1)!10! not 3!(10−1)!

sacred rock
topaz axle
#

every other question works from this, you simply reserve however many letters you need to have

at least two of each: 10 becomes 4
1 A 2B 3C, 10 becomes 4

drifting sierra
#

In other words you just remove the elements that must be included and you work on the remaining set just like in (d)

sacred rock
#

Thank you you've both been such a huge help, I'll definitely be giving that a read too 🙂

drifting sierra
sacred rock
#

I have another question if you're willing

#

b) and e) I have to understand

But I won't lie, I don't know where I even start with this

drifting sierra
#

That looks painful

sacred rock
drifting sierra
#

Did you do (a) (c) and (d)?

sacred rock
#

No I've not done them yet, we've been told to just comprehend b and e for now so idk if they're somehow different

drifting sierra
#

Ok so I have to go for like 20 min but in the meantime try to express (1+x)^n as a sum

sacred rock
#

I gtg anyways I'll come back in a bit for it 🙂

What are the properties of a natural cubic spline. Start the maybe

woven spade
#

They are C2 continuous, which means that the second derivatives match at the transitions between segments.
They are interpolating, which means that the curve passes through the given control points.
The second derivatives of the spline polynomials are set equal to zero at the endpoints of the interval of interpolation. This forces the spline to be a straight line outside of the interval, while not disrupting its smoothness.

lusty sapphire
#

What I would do is use all of these properties, plug in given points, and see what abcd should all be

#

I should end up with a system of equations and that would give me the answer

#

Okay like, the spline should go through (1,1). That is, we require S(1)=1. If you evaluate S(1), you will see that this is true no matter what

#

So then I'd next look at (2,1)

#

I require S(2)=1.

#

If I evaluate S(2), I need to evaluate S1(2) which comes out to 1 again.

#

But here's where we finally get somewhere interesting.

#

The spline needs to be continues, and since S0 stops just before 2, we require S0(2)=1 for continuity

#

If you evaluate S0(2), you get 1+a+b

#

So there's your first equation

#

1=1+a+b, or a+b=0

#

You can continue this process by evaluating the derivative conditions you mentioned earlier

not sure what to do at this final step

Part J*

Isn't the slope of the tangent line at Point Q equal to t=0.852

(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)?

brave falcon
#

I input this answer but it's treated as incorrect

charred zodiac
#

try a numerical value (?

#

🤔

#

it might not recognize cot, idk

#

oh wait

#

well if the velocities are the same, what's the direction of the object's movement at point Q?

#

what's the slope of the line in that direction?

brave falcon
#

n/n = 1???

How do I solve this when theres an absolute value

restive river
#

dunno how id do it w that

undone fractal
#

what do you mean absolute value

#

are you trying to find x?

restive river
#

yes

#

solving for x

#

or at least thats what im assuming since this problem does not specify

undone fractal
#

I would say x is 4 but I actually dont know what the "|" is for

restive river
#

absolute value

#

thats what its for

strange arch
#

from |A| = B follows
A = B or -A = B

restive river
#

so would it be

#

$3x-1=13$ and $-(3x-1)=13$

woven radishBOT
strange arch
#

you'd solve two equations and these give you the range of solutions

#

ys

restive river
woven radishBOT
strange arch
#

yop

restive river
#

would that be what i put down as the answer?

#

$14/3, -4$

woven radishBOT
strange arch
#

I'd guess they have some formatting rules, either comma or as set, am not familiar with the site

#

either what you sent or {14/3, -4}

restive river
#

yep youre right just a comma

#

ty for the help 🙂

#

Not sure how to calculate the magnitude here.

dense jay
#

you can get the vertical and horizontal velocity components at the time it hits the ground
get an angle from those

brave falcon
#

those horizontal velocity and vertical velocity components form lines right?

dense jay
#

sure? In the sense that you can find the angle between them, yeah

brave falcon
#

do I use arccos to do that?

dense jay
#

wouldnt really be helpful, you have the adjacent and opposite

brave falcon
#

oh i thought the vertical velocity would have given you the hypotenuse in this

#

ok so i just use arctan

dense jay
dense jay
brave falcon
#

arctan ((-32t+4)/150)?

not sure what is the opposite or adjacent here

dense jay
#

vertical is opposite, horizontal is adjacent, you have it fine
it would be |-32t+4| though

How to solve these questions using unitary method I believe?

restive river
languid ore
devout snowBOT
# restive river
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
timber pebble
#

hmm unitary method is new to me

#

do you feel familiar with the method and are confused about applying it

#

or dont understand the unitary method

restive river
#

I feel confused in how to apply like the textbook has told me to

languid ore
#

well ok

#

do you at least get the abstract of the unitary method

restive river
#

Abstract?

languid ore
#

like

#

what it should be in theory

restive river
#

Ah ok yes I understand that

languid ore
#

though tbh

#

i dont think that applies

#

since this is simple unit conversion

restive river
#

Hmm your right but if I were to do conversion their should some type of you know formula or something

languid ore
#

i mean

#

ok lets work through the first one

#

how many seconds are in an hour

#

and how many meters are in a km

restive river
#

3600 secs in 1 hr and 1000 meters in 1 km

languid ore
#

ok so then

#

what is 1 km/h in km/s

#

and then what is 1 km/s in m/s

restive river
#

1000meters/h and 1000meters/s

languid ore
#

not quite

#

when converting km/h to km/s

#

we have 1 km/1 h = 1 km/3600 s = (1/3600) km/s

#

does that make sense?

restive river
#

Ok 1km=3600secs? Ok

languid ore
#

sorry?

#

no

#

wait

#

what?

humble ferry
#

u change units

#

in each side numerator and denominator

#

now see

restive river
humble ferry
#

km/h to m/s

#

num1x1000 meters / num2x3600 seconds

restive river
#

1x1000/2x3600 secs? In a fraction?

humble ferry
#

ok my explanation was bad

#

let's start again

#

so how does kilometers change to meters

#

1 kilometer changes to 1000 meters

#

the question wants the numerator part to change from kilometers to meters

restive river
#

Yes

humble ferry
#

so 216km x 1000 = 216000 meters

#

now let's see denominator part

#

it's per 1 hour, that 216 km is travelled

#

and the question wants you to change the hour to seconds

restive river
#

which is 1hr=3600 secs

humble ferry
#

good

humble ferry
humble ferry
#

216000/3600 m / s

#

you get the logic now?

restive river
#

Ohhhhhhh

#

Now I get it

humble ferry
#

now when you divide it u get 60 m/s

restive river
#

216000/3600=60m/s

humble ferry
#

yes

restive river
#

Oh so you this method for every question?

humble ferry
#

yep

#

idk if there's a specific requirement in your school

#

but this method would work every time because without logic it's easy to get wrong

#

want to try question 2?

restive river
#

Ok sure

humble ferry
# restive river

so how do you change 1 Litre to mililitre(numerator), 1 hour to minutes(denominator)

restive river
#

1L=1000mL 1hr=60mins

humble ferry
#

nice

#

now there's 30 liters

#

so multiply 30 to numerator and voila

#

you'd get the answer

restive river
#

30/60=0.5?

humble ferry
#

nooo

restive river
#

or is it 3000/60

humble ferry
#

30 x 1000 /60

restive river
#

30x1000/60=500

humble ferry
#

yes

#

focus each side first

restive river
#

Hmm

humble ferry
#

step 1 is to change the unit, step 2 is multiply how many times is that unit like 30 litres so u x30 with the new unit. step 3 is to just calculate

#

I gtg now now

#

GL

restive river
#

Oh thank you bro

#

Any help?

urban harbor
#

you can think of it simply as multiplying by $\frac{40cm}{180 blocks}$ or $\frac{180 blocks}{40cm}$

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

Which is 4.5

#

Multiplying or dividing?

urban harbor
#

you can simply pay attention to the units and see how they cancel:

#

for example in (i). you start out with 495 blocks and want to end up with cm

#

so you want the blocks in the fraction you multiply with to cancel out with blocks in top and then you end up with cm so you keep the cm unit of the conversion fraction on top, if that makes sense:

#

$495 \text{blocks} \times \frac{40\text{cm}}{180\text{blocks}}$

radiant nebula
#

Hi

woven radishBOT
restive river
#

Oh is this using the unitary method?

urban harbor
#

$\frac{495 \text{blocks}}{1} \times \frac{40\text{cm}}{180\text{blocks}}$

woven radishBOT
urban harbor
#

lemme even write the left as a fraction so its even more clear

#

see the units cancel out are youre left with 495 * 40 / 180 cm as the final answer

#

so just paying attention to the units is an easy way to know which way you need to multiply so you cant go wrong

restive river
#

Hmm I got it now

urban harbor
#

(and that will help you all the way to college chemistry and physics ) : )

restive river
#

Btw is this the unitary method or just..

restive river
urban harbor
#

i have no idea what that refers to, i dont know names of "methods" this is a simple multiplication

restive river
#

Oh ok cuz it seemed similar to the method that was shown in the textbook for a different question by same topic

urban harbor
#

got it from here?

restive river
#

If you could just help me with (ii) I can do all of the questions by myself

urban harbor
#

well if you can't do 2 then you didnt understand my whole explanation for i) since its the exact same thing, you should be able to do this yourself now

#

step 1): write down 70 cm on your paper

#

step 2): what units are you starting with and what units do you want your answer to have?

#

step 3): what fraction do you need to multiply by to make that happen?

restive river
#

70 40 and 180

urban harbor
#

?

restive river
#

Unit I need in cm

urban harbor
#

part ii is asking for an answer in cm?

restive river
#

Yes

urban harbor
#

...

restive river
#

No wait

urban harbor
#

"find the number of BLOCKS"

restive river
#

Yeah hasn't stated and need to find but using which method the previous one

#

?

urban harbor
#

not sure how i can explain it any more clearly than i did already 🤷‍♂️

#

id just be repeating what i already said for previous problem, so go back and read that

restive river
#

(ii)

#

Oh crap is it 495x70/180

brave falcon
#

to get the answers for both i and ii you can just find how many blocks it takes to get 1cm worth of height

restive river
brave falcon
#

that isn't the correct proportion because it takes multiple blocks to get 1 cm of height, not multiple cm for one block

restive river
#

Hmm

brave falcon
#

it would be 4.5 block for 1 cm

restive river
#

so 4.5x70=315 Blocks?

brave falcon
#

i think so

#

i would recommend for future reference

#

always writing down units and making sure that your answers are sanity checked

restive river
#

Sanity meaning?

brave falcon
#

a sanity check is seeing if your answer would make sense in the real world or in the context of the problem

#

a not crazy answer

oblique seal
#

knowing the function f admits primitives and F is a primitive such that F(-1)=1/e, find the value of F(1).

oblique seal
#

my answer is 3 but there is no 3

urban harbor
#

primitives? real numbers?

oblique seal
#

antiderivative

deep vortex
#

yeah

urban harbor
#

ok guess it is beyond the scope of my head : )

oblique seal
#

integral of e^x is e^x and integral for the second equation is x^3+x^2+ax

#

since the function has primitives then that means it is also continuous

frozen aurora
#

e^x + C 🙃

oblique seal
#

yes

#

e^0=3 * 0+2 * 0+a

#

so a is 1

urban harbor
#

i'm confused, you're saying:
such that F(-1)=1/e, find the value of F(1).
but all you are giving is a point of F with no other info about it and you're expecting to find F(1)
is one of those Fs meant to be little f?

oblique seal
#

F is the integral

urban harbor
#

of f?

oblique seal
#

yes

urban harbor
#

ok sorry i finally understand what you were saying in the problem statement, i am just used to different language

oblique seal
#

mb I should've translated it differently

urban harbor
#

no it's fine i saw you are reading in romanian so probably just different lingo used

oblique seal
#

yeah

oblique seal
#

which is 3

urban harbor
#

so you said for the 2nd part of the function the antiderivative is
x^3+x^2+ax + C

#

and also you made the observation the function must be continuous if it is integrable

oblique seal
#

yes

urban harbor
#

yeah so finding a = 1 was the key

#

is that not enough to lead to the answer?

oblique seal
#

it should be but I dont see 3 in the options avalaible

#

so I wanted to check if I did something wrong

urban harbor
#

yes i see how how are getting that and it makes sense to me

#

although one thing i am not sure is how to decide what the constant of integration should be on x^3 + x^2 + ax + C

#

i see how you decided on the other integral that it's 0 so it fits F(-1) but not sure about for the second piece

#

oh i have one idea...

#

@oblique seal so i guess i would make the argument that if you want the antiderivative to be valid it needs to be differentiable, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for it to be an antiderivative, so F needs to be continuous first off too and so you need to match F(0) from the left and right too i suppose

#

so i think the antiderivative for the second part then needs to be x^3 + x^2 + x + 1

#

so that F(0) = 1 from both sides?

#

then you would get 4 for the answer

oblique seal
#

oh

#

that makes sense

urban harbor
#

im a little fuzzy on how exactly these piecewise integrals work tbh but thats the best i can come up with

oblique seal
#

no thats right

#

thanks

urban harbor

Hi, I'm trying to prove the following fact "An ideal of a (commutative, with a unit) ring is radical iff its quotient ring is reduced" I know how to do the proof when writing elements of the quotient ring as $\bar{f}$ but I want to understand this proof on wiki which is quite clear there's only one thing I don't understand: how $(r+J)^n = 0$ implies that $r^n + J = 0$, tried to use the binomial formula but I still don't see it...
