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.
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
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

<@&286206848099549185>
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 :/
hmm im not sure i know tha try puting it in help-forum and wait
@stark knoll Has your question been resolved?
Have you seen a proof that if $f(t) \geq 0$, then $\int_a^b f(t) dt \geq 0$? Here we only have nonstrict inequalities, but we can still use this fact to prove your fact if we're careful
ryc
We haven’t proven this, which is making the question kinda hard
(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)
Okay. You can also directly compute the integral
It's a little tricky
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
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
$$ \cos^{n-1}(x) \sin(x) \Big|_0^{\pi/2} - \int_0^{\pi/2} (n-1) \cos^{n-2}(x) (-\sin(x)) \sin(x) dx $$
ryc
Oh, that looks like something I did for the following question
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
ryc
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)?
And you get $$\int_0^{pi/2} cos^n = {n-1}/n * \int_0^{pi/2} cos^{n-2}$$
zarblug
And that’s the part where I got stuck, I think I just forgot to to until n = 2
Yeah cuz cos^0 = 1
Yeah
so now integral of cos^2 is (2-1)/2 times integral cos, which is a positive number times a positive number
And we do that all the way, so we have only positive terms
Yep
This lets you deal with all the even n's
How about the odd n's? Where do you start there
I don’t really see why it matters tho
We can just integrate by part if n is odd no ?
Yeah but each time you go down by -2
Instead of by -1
so for even n's, we get down to cos^0
Oh we know the integral of cos^1
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
Yes, that's right. That should prove it
Yeah I prove that at the end of the exercice
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
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.

how do i perform a reversal of the order of integration

✅
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
@lapis pelican Has your question been resolved?
what do u mean by trial and error
do i have to try every number
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
due nov 3rd
ye
thats why i need help
but not the actual solution
cuz im allowed to ask for help but not for solutions
pls someone help me

<@&286206848099549185>
uh so 12b + 10g + 1 = rows x columns
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
how did u factorise?
add 120 to both sides
no there's a method
what method
dm
dm?
i messaged u with the explanation
k
basically adding 120 helped me find a pair to satisfy the eq
lemme check
can u summarise the steps for a diophantine equations pls
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
makes sense?
just need to find a pair that equals to 121. just take 11x11 or 121 x 1
121 x 1 wont work as later it exceeds the 1000 limit
11x11 works just fine
and that pair should be a natural number as we r dealing with peoples
right
?
@astral sigil ?
how?
@astral sigil
yeah
just plug in the values you'll see
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?
What must be true about a pmf?
about the values it takes and its probabilities overall?
@thorn sage
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
And that probability is > 0 and = 1
mhm
thats some high lvl maths
And P(X=2) = 2P(X = 2 - 1)=2P(X=1)
and X can be only 0,1,2 in your sample space yes?
also note you can rewrite this in terms of P(X=0)
using the previous equation you wrote
How do you know this?
Or how would I know this?
which is 2P(X=1)
Yes
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))
P(X=1)=2P(X=1-1)=2P(X=0), yes
so we have that P(X=2)=4P(X=0)
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?
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)
mhm
:)
good job!
.solved
.close
agh, you need to do it, unless you got any more questions?
that's just for the equation
because if you plug in i=0 you get P(X=-1) and P(X=-1) doesn't...exist
does that make sense?
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)
yeah, but in this case you had to solve for P(X=0) because everything could be expressed in terms of it :)
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
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
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
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

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
Hello i need help with matrices
In mathematics, it's conventionally accepted that when taking the square root of numbers we only consider the principal square root
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
as it is outputting two outputs for only one correspondening input
the same applies for square roots
2^2 is 4, just like (-2)^2 = 4.
BUT sqrt(4) isn't -2, it's only 2.
instead, we say that if
a^2 = b
then
a = ±sqrt(b)
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
sorry to interrupt but are those LaTeX shortcuts available to everyone or just you?
they are personally implemented for me yes.

gatz
what now?
parentheses?
$\frac{x+1}{2} - x \cdot (x + 1) = \frac{x+2}{3}$
USS-Enterprise
This the original?
yeah
Right, something went wrong simplifying
wdym
$\frac{x+1}{2} -x^2 -x = \frac{x+2}{3}$
You multiplied the parantheses by -x
Distributed -x through the parantheses
why -1?
Oops
USS-Enterprise
Then multiplied by 6?
yeah
I don't think anything went wrong
We get $3 \cdot (x+1) - 6x^2 - 6x = 2 \cdot (x+2)$
USS-Enterprise
$3x + 3 - 6x^2 - 6x = 2x + 4$
USS-Enterprise
yep, i also think i did the beginning correctly
Then you collected like terms and moved everything to one side
Those are not the correct solutions.
gatz
Okay that's correct
a = 6, b = 5, c = 1
rip
$x_{1, 2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$
USS-Enterprise
$x_{1, 2} = \frac{-(5) \pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 1}}{12}$
USS-Enterprise
$x_{1, 2} = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{1}}{12}$
USS-Enterprise
-6/12 and -4/12
Yes, simplified
$x_1 = -\frac{1}{2} \\ x_2 = -\frac{1}{3}$
USS-Enterprise
Of course
Yeah, so just a mistake in the quadratic formula
similar to these?

$\bQ_{\sqrt{2}}$ is the set of all real numbers expressible in the form $a + b \sqrt{2}$ for $a$, $b$ rational.
Ann
if you're ok with somewhat more fanciful language, it's the set of all rational linear combinations of 1 and sqrt(2)

Currently struggling with these questions
For a) I have two answers
9C2 = 36
or
$\frac{(10+3-1)!}{3!(10-1)!} = 220$
CoshamGames
the second one is d
Ah okay, could you explain where the 9C2 came from? I sort of just got it from what I did in my lectures but I'm not aware how
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
how does this result in 9C2 ?
Why does 10 --> 9 here ?
you just see that there's 9 spaces
but there's 10 ?
10 Xs, 9 spaces in between
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 ?
yes, if you put a divider at the start, where there's no space the first group has no letters
So if we wanted at least 2 letters would it become 8 spaces ?
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)
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
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
Which method ?
How would i put this into the formula though to find 6C2 from just knowing I want 2 of each letter etc ?
okay that's not how it goes, the denominator is (3−1)!10!
There is one method you can use for all five questions
yeah, based on d)
Could you explain how I'd do that? I'm pretty stuck on combinatorics
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
This means my formula was incorrect as mine outputs 220 whereas 12C2 = 66
Ohh okay yeah that makes sense
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
In other words you just remove the elements that must be included and you work on the remaining set just like in (d)
This may be a good read for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_bars_(combinatorics)
Thank you you've both been such a huge help, I'll definitely be giving that a read too 🙂

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
That looks painful
Feels it 😭
Did you do (a) (c) and (d)?
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
Ok so I have to go for like 20 min but in the meantime try to express (1+x)^n as a sum

What are the properties of a natural cubic spline. Start the maybe
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.
Excellent. You can use all of these facts to find your points.
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

How do I solve this when theres an absolute value
dunno how id do it w that
yes
solving for x
or at least thats what im assuming since this problem does not specify
I would say x is 4 but I actually dont know what the "|" is for
split it into cases
from |A| = B follows
A = B or -A = B

ok so I got $\frac{14}{3}$ and $-4$

Not sure how to calculate the magnitude here.
you can get the vertical and horizontal velocity components at the time it hits the ground
get an angle from those
those horizontal velocity and vertical velocity components form lines right?
sure? In the sense that you can find the angle between them, yeah
do I use arccos to do that?
wouldnt really be helpful, you have the adjacent and opposite
oh i thought the vertical velocity would have given you the hypotenuse in this
ok so i just use arctan
x and y are perpendular, that wouldnt make much sense
yeah
arctan ((-32t+4)/150)?
not sure what is the opposite or adjacent here
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?
!status
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
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
I feel confused in how to apply like the textbook has told me to
Abstract?
like
what it should be in theory
The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.
Ah ok yes I understand that
Hmm your right but if I were to do conversion their should some type of you know formula or something
kind of?
i mean
ok lets work through the first one
how many seconds are in an hour
and how many meters are in a km
3600 secs in 1 hr and 1000 meters in 1 km
1000meters/h and 1000meters/s
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?
Ok 1km=3600secs? Ok
Oh ok read it the wrong my bad
1x1000/2x3600 secs? In a fraction?
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
Yes
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
which is 1hr=3600 secs
good
now u have numerator
and denominator
216000/3600 m / s
you get the logic now?
now when you divide it u get 60 m/s
216000/3600=60m/s
yes
Oh so you this method for every question?
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?
Ok sure
so how do you change 1 Litre to mililitre(numerator), 1 hour to minutes(denominator)
1L=1000mL 1hr=60mins
nice
now there's 30 liters
so multiply 30 to numerator and voila
you'd get the answer
30/60=0.5?
nooo
or is it 3000/60
30 x 1000 /60
30x1000/60=500
Hmm
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
this is just simple proportions
you can think of it simply as multiplying by $\frac{40cm}{180 blocks}$ or $\frac{180 blocks}{40cm}$
Soosh
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:
$495 \text{blocks} \times \frac{40\text{cm}}{180\text{blocks}}$
Hi
Soosh
Oh is this using the unitary method?
$\frac{495 \text{blocks}}{1} \times \frac{40\text{cm}}{180\text{blocks}}$
Soosh
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
Hmm I got it now
(and that will help you all the way to college chemistry and physics ) : )
Btw is this the unitary method or just..
Am still in yr 9 lol but I hopefully remember for future refrences
i have no idea what that refers to, i dont know names of "methods" this is a simple multiplication
Oh ok cuz it seemed similar to the method that was shown in the textbook for a different question by same topic
got it from here?
If you could just help me with (ii) I can do all of the questions by myself
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?
70 40 and 180
?
Unit I need in cm
part ii is asking for an answer in cm?
Yes
...
No wait
"find the number of BLOCKS"
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
what do u mean
Just read the question further up
(ii)
Oh crap is it 495x70/180
to get the answers for both i and ii you can just find how many blocks it takes to get 1cm worth of height
So your telling me that 4.5 cm = 1 block?
that isn't the correct proportion because it takes multiple blocks to get 1 cm of height, not multiple cm for one block
Hmm
it would be 4.5 block for 1 cm
so 4.5x70=315 Blocks?
i think so
i would recommend for future reference
always writing down units and making sure that your answers are sanity checked
Sanity meaning?
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

knowing the function f admits primitives and F is a primitive such that F(-1)=1/e, find the value of F(1).
my answer is 3 but there is no 3
primitives? real numbers?
antiderivative
I think with primitive, he might mean integral
yeah
ok guess it is beyond the scope of my head : )
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
e^x + C 🙃
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?
F is the integral
of f?
yes
ok sorry i finally understand what you were saying in the problem statement, i am just used to different language
mb I should've translated it differently
no it's fine i saw you are reading in romanian so probably just different lingo used
yeah
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
yes
it should be but I dont see 3 in the options avalaible
so I wanted to check if I did something wrong
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
im a little fuzzy on how exactly these piecewise integrals work tbh but thats the best i can come up with
cu placere, te salut : )

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...
