Find the derivative of this equation.

devout snowBOT
tight ibex
#

Red equation aka #1 is the given answer in the answer key.

Blue aka #2 is what I got, graphically the same, but I don't understand how they solved it to that. I just used quotient rule.

#

t!15

#

^ worked it out making sure I kept the same line

pulsar sand
#

It's often better to rewrite your function to use the product rule instead, but in this case you really just need to simplify your answer in blue

tight ibex
#

Yeah, I did and got the one that was purple.

olive jasper
tight ibex
#

And I don't understand how they got the 5/2 power.

#

like I understand the 2 stuff

olive jasper
tight ibex
#

ohh

#

okay so that gives you 5/2 on the bottom

olive jasper
#

Yep and numerator will also sort out

#

Slowly

Thanks

mortal aspen
#

how to find idk how to factorise it while finding the critical numbers

pastel pasture
#

what do you mean by critical numbers?

#

x such that f'(x) = 0?

mortal aspen
#

yess

mortal aspen
vapid nest
#

simplify

mortal aspen
#

u will get this

vapid nest
mortal aspen
#

is this right?

vapid nest
mortal aspen
#

i am getting -2,0 as critical numbers but its showing as incorrect answer

mortal aspen
#

we equated it to 0 right?

#

soo

vapid nest
#

yes

#

we did so we get x+2 = 0

mortal aspen
#

idk whts critical numbersss tbh

vapid nest
#

and 4/{x^{2/3}} = 0

mortal aspen
mortal aspen
vapid nest
#

when x = 4

#

it doesn't solve that

mortal aspen
vapid nest
#

btw x = 0 is a critical point but not for the reason you think

#

(it's undefined at x = 0)

mortal aspen
#

ohhhh

#

soo now the critical numbers gonna be 4,-2

vapid nest
#

where did you get 4

mortal aspen
#

oh my bad i thought it was in addition

#

but even if i enter -2 its showing as wrong

vapid nest
#

0 and -2??

mortal aspen
#

yupp tried bothh

#

uhmmm

#

omgg it came as correct apparently it wanted the correct order

#

soo basically critical numbers r the points where its udefined?

mortal aspen
#

ohhhh

mortal aspen
vapid nest
#

is 0

mortal aspen
mortal aspen
vapid nest
#

consider finding the critical points of x^2 - x

#

the derivative is 2x - 1

#

we wanna find where f'(x) = 0

#

x = 1/2

mortal aspen
#

yesss

#

ohh

#

yes yes now got it

vapid nest
#

YAY

mortal aspen
#

thnkk uuu

can someone remind me how to find the magnitude of this complex number

#

i can times both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of R + jwL

restive river
#

does this make sense ? i feel like i said random stuff to try and make it work

crude wasp
#

probably enough just to set beta = -a - bi and then show they add to 0

pulsar sand
#

The problem I have with this response is that you should really be stating that since a,b, are real, -a and -b exist hence beta as you defined it exists. Some of your phrasing is a bit long-winded and avoids explicitly stating this.

as in

crude wasp
#

Let $\alpha = a+bi \in \mathbb{C}$. Then, let $\beta = -a - bi$. Then
$$\alpha + \beta = a + bi - a - bi = 0$$
so inverses exist in $\mathbb{C}$

sullen meadow
#

deicde x and y intercepts algerbracically
y=5x+10
x=?
y?

sullen meadow
#

hi can someone help me

shrewd thistle
#

Do you have another equation?

sullen meadow
#

no..'

junior chasm
junior chasm
shrewd thistle
#

No, you don't.. just noticed, that's just a line

junior chasm
#

that means where the line cuts the x axis

#

and where the line cuts the x axis, y's value is?

sullen meadow
junior chasm
#

so put y=0 in the equation

shrewd thistle
#

Do you know the basic formula of a line, yxy? y = mx+b? Remember what b is?

sullen meadow
shrewd thistle
#

It's called the "slope-intercept" formula.. b is literally your y-intercept (where x=0)

sullen meadow
#

oh

shrewd thistle
#

So now that you've got that.. do you see how to solve for x?

#

i.e., where y = 0?

sullen meadow
#

whats m

shrewd thistle
#

m is the slope of the line.. rise over run

sullen meadow
#

Okay

#

but like i stil dont get how to solve it if Y=5x+10

#

to find x and y

#

algerbracically

shrewd thistle
#

So, if your y-intercept is where x=0...

sullen meadow
#

yeah

shrewd thistle
#

Your x-intercept is going to be where y=0

sullen meadow
#

yeah

shrewd thistle
#

... plug & chug

sullen meadow
#

chug?

#

what

shrewd thistle
#

plug the values in and compute

sullen meadow
#

0+10 is 10

shrewd thistle
#

ergo.. your y-intercept is 10

sullen meadow
#

oh

#

now how to find x?

shrewd thistle
#

Same way

#

the x-intercept is where y=0...

sullen meadow
shrewd thistle
#

Yes you do.. you know that y = 0

sullen meadow
#

Oh

shrewd thistle
#

So.. think of it this way

sullen meadow
#

now what tho? do we shift the 10

#

to the other sid

shrewd thistle
#

Yes, you have to isolate x.. so subtract 10 from both sides, then divide by 5

#

WHEN x = 0, y = what? That's your y-intercept
WHEN y = 0, x = what? That's your x-intercept

sullen meadow
#

ohhh

shrewd thistle
#

The zeroes are your known values that you have to plug in (unless you recognize the format of the equation, but you said you guys hadn't gotten there yet)

restive river
#

you can go by this:

y=mx+b, where b is the y-intercept, so 10 is the y-intercept

that works for when x is equal to 0, so y=5(0)+10 => y=10

then you can replace y with 0 to find the x intercept, so:

0=5x+10 => -10=5x => x=-2 ; that being the x-intercept.

so the y-intercept is 10, and the x-intercept is -2.

M means the slope, essentially rise over run. It’s how much your line moves up or down while moving to the right. i.e. when M=1, that means going up 1 and going right 1. When M=-2, that means a rise of -2, or going down by 2 units, and going right by 1. When M=-3/2, that means a rise of -3 (going down by 3 units) and going right by 2 units.

I tried writing this

sullen meadow
#

thanks i get it now

sullen meadow
#

but i do have another questio

shrewd thistle
#

ok

sullen meadow
#

i put a circle

#

on it

#

how is it -2 to 5

#

should it be -2 to 1

#

then 1 to 5

shrewd thistle
#

It should be both -infinity to -4 and -2 to 5

#

And -infinity to -4 is also on the paper..

sullen meadow
#

no i get that -inf to -4

#

but the second one

shrewd thistle
#

It's where the y-values are positive

sullen meadow
#

the -2 to 5

shrewd thistle
#

Anything "above" the x-axis

sullen meadow
#

yeah so -2 to 5

shrewd thistle
#

Is above the x-axis

sullen meadow
#

-inf ,-4 U -2 , 5

shrewd thistle
#

Yep

sullen meadow
#

Yeah but whys it written to -2 to 5

#

so can it be both correct?

shrewd thistle
#

Both have to be present to have the correct answer.. it's not an "or" - it's an "and"

sullen meadow
#

i dont get it

#

u said that mines correct

#

but now u said smth else

shrewd thistle
#

Any time the graph is above the x axis

sullen meadow
#

yes'

shrewd thistle
sullen meadow
#

okay but -2 to 1

#

is aboive

#

x axis

shrewd thistle
#

It's the same reason why this section is the only negative interval

#

Because that's the only portion of the graph BELOW the x-axis

sullen meadow
#

so -inf,-4 U -2,1 U 1,5

#

this is my ans

shrewd thistle
#

We're not looking at the slope of the line.. where it's increasing or decreasing.. we're looking at where the graph is in relation to the x-axis

#

(-inf, -4] U [-2, 5]

sullen meadow
#

bruh

shrewd thistle
#

Look at the blue shaded section

sullen meadow
#

-2 to 1 is above the x axis..

shrewd thistle
#

Yes.. and above the x axis is positive..

sullen meadow
#

YES

#

and tehy are saying

#

to find postive

#

Soo -2 to 1

#

is positive

#

its above

#

the x axix

shrewd thistle
#

It's not just -2 to 1.. it's -2 to 5

#

it doesn't "stop" at 1, and then immediately "start" at 1 again

sullen meadow
#

why

#

its the x axix that matters

#

above

shrewd thistle
#

Trying to think of a different way to explain this..

#

So.. let me ask this.. what is it about x = +1 that seems unique when answering this question?

#

Because I don't understand why that's important to you..

sullen meadow
#

becuas

#

they say to find the postive

#

and -2 to 1

#

and is above x-axdis

#

so its coonsidered a postive

shrewd thistle
#

Right.. but why stop at 1?

#

It's also above the x-axis from 1 to 5

sullen meadow
#

Yes

#

so we right a U

#

to say both are correct

#

-inf,-4 U -2,1 U 1,5

shrewd thistle
#

There's no need to break the group up at 1, though

#

(-inf, -4] U [-2, 5] is sufficient

sullen meadow
#

why

shrewd thistle
#

Because there's no discontinuity at 1

sullen meadow
#

yes there is

#

1 to 5

#

oh wait

#

so ur saying

shrewd thistle
#

So.. a discontinuity is where the graph "disappears"

sullen meadow
#

it needs to continue

#

until it stops right

shrewd thistle
#

Yes!

sullen meadow
#

okay then -2 to inf

shrewd thistle
#

Not quite! See that black dot on the line at 5? That means the line stops at (and includes) 5

sullen meadow
#

oh

#

oh

#

ohh

shrewd thistle
#

If it were just a hollow circle, it would mean the graph stops at (but does NOT include) 5

sullen meadow
#

you could have said that earliersad

shrewd thistle
#

LOL

sullen meadow
#

lmao

#

but tysm

#

i have a test tmr

shrewd thistle
#

np, glad we got that sorted out

sullen meadow
#

and i wanted to be prepared

shrewd thistle
#

Just remember the difference between parentheses and brackets

#

() vs []

sullen meadow
#

if closed then the [] if not then brackert

shrewd thistle
#

[a, b] includes both a and b
(a, b) includes neither a nor b
(a, b] does not include a, but includes b

sullen meadow
#

waitt

#

theres smth

shrewd thistle
#

infinity always gets a parenthesis

sullen meadow
shrewd thistle
#

Yep

sullen meadow
#

theres no point at -2?

#

or circle

shrewd thistle
#

If there's no dot or circle, you can assume the graph is continuous.. so it includes x=-2

#

That being said, [-2 is correct

#

So.. for example..

sullen meadow
#

so if theres no circle

#

then its

#

the square

#

thing

shrewd thistle
#

A circle on the graph means that there's a discontinuity.. -2 "doesn't exist" (it's undefined)

#

So in this case, you'd use (-2

sullen meadow
#

then why did they put the square thing

shrewd thistle
#

Because -2 is defined.. it actually exists

sullen meadow
#

so why is it here bracket

#

if theres no circle

#

or anything

#

on it

#

just the number

shrewd thistle
#

That's technically incorrect

#

But honestly, if you guys are just getting into this material, your instructor may not be super-strict on it..

#

Other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you.. it should be [-1, inf)

#

Because that arrow on the left? That means the graph continues off the page

#

And it continues forever

sullen meadow
#

she said that rane is

#

range

#

is from bottom to top

shrewd thistle
#

Yep

sullen meadow
#

so if theres no circle on the number then we put a bracket

shrewd thistle
#

So.. for the domain, you put -inf, right? Because that arrow goes off to the left for infinity

#

For range, it should work the same way.. the arrow goes up for infinity, too.. so the range technically goes up to infinity

sullen meadow
#

the thing i dont get is

#

what do we put if theres nothing on the nunber

#

the square or the bracket

#

i think its bracket

#

becuase

#

in inf

#

we put bracket

#

and theres no circle on it bc we dont know when it will end

#

so its bracket

shrewd thistle
#

inf gets a parenthesis, because "infinity" isn't actually a number

sullen meadow
#

and if a number?

shrewd thistle
#

If it's actually a number, like what I showed you with -2 earlier, it depends on what the graph is showing

#

If it's a solid dot, like on x = +5, then it's included, and it gets a bracket ]

#

If it's a circle, it's not included and it gets a parenthesis

sullen meadow
#

i get that

#

but what if thers no circle at all

shrewd thistle
#

Then the number is included in the upper and lower bounds. Like, x = +2 doesn't have anything on it except the line of the graph, right?

#

So it's included in [-2, 5]

#

Because [-2, 5] includes every number from -2 to 5... -1, 0, 1, 2.23428438765982.. everything

sullen meadow
#

oh

shrewd thistle
#

It's why there was no need to stop at 1

#

it continues all the way from -2 to 5

sullen meadow
#

look at the range

#

for

#

both

#

graphs

#

theres one with brackets

#

and one with square

#

why??

shrewd thistle
#

That looks like an inconsistency in how you guys are being taught =/

#

Which is extremely confusing

sullen meadow
#

oh

#

so whichh is correwct

shrewd thistle
#

Assuming the graph on top actually goes to y=-25, it should have a bracket, like the [3 on the bottom graph does

#

Without knowing the equation, it's impossible to know if the graph actually reaches y = -25 or y = +3, so in this case it's a "if it looks like it reaches a number, then it does"

sullen meadow
#

it does what?

shrewd thistle
#

On the other hand, it's possible that the equation defining the upper graph only goes to y = -24.9999999 but since there's no way you'd ever know that just by looking at a low resolution graph, you can call it "y = -25" and you're fine

#

Unless your instructor is being pedantic

sullen meadow
#

no we ned to give weather its a square or bracket

shrewd thistle
#

Right, but it appears as though your instructor isn't being consistent in that regard.. either both should be [-25 and [3 or both should be (-25 and (3

#

There's no way to know from the graph exactly what the values are, so in order to teach the material, "close enough" should matter, at least until you guys have these concepts down pat

sullen meadow
#

ah

shrewd thistle
#

I don't know if your instructor has a reason to do it this way.. you should ask and get clarification, because I'm not the one grading your test..

sullen meadow
#

true

shrewd thistle
#

But in my opinion, I think the material could be taught.. more consistently.

#

I know that's a lot to digest, but hopefully it helped clear things up?

sullen meadow
#

Yeah

#

thanks

shrewd thistle
#

np - good luck!

radiant anvil

radiant anvil
#

could someone elucidate what is happening in the conversely part. I presume we are trying to show that given a k-cycle tao and a sigma, mew is a k-cycle. I am most uncertain about the part I shall highlight.

torn bane
#

The notation is saying that if we take some ai and then take the next one a(i+1), then mu(first) =second

#

The point of the mod expression is that we need to wrap back to a1 if the first is a_n

radiant anvil
#

could u illustrate it

torn bane
#

I’m not sure how I would, what exactly is confusing you

radiant anvil
#

like what exactly does b' represent?

#

I do understand the terms separately but put together, it is harder to understand

torn bane
#

b’ is sigma applied to the next term in the cycle

#

So sigma(a_(i+1))

radiant anvil
#

it seems to be that b' is b right shifted 1?

#

but wouldnt that just mean they are they same as it is a cycle afterall

torn bane
#

Err well the relation is b=sigma(a_i), and b’=sigma(a_i+1), so mu(b) = sigma tau sigma^-1 (b)= b’

#

So we get that for each consecutive pair a_i, a_i+1 in the tau cycle, there are b and b’ consecutive in the mu cycle

radiant anvil
#

sorry

#

can we clear up some notation first?

#

sigma(ai) = b, is b the set of values as shown above? from b1 to bn?

torn bane
#

B is some index from 1 to n, we don’t know what it is yet

#

Later we make the b_is from b

radiant anvil
#

is it in a similar way that we constructed sigma earlier?

I’m not sure what to do next

devout snowBOT
cyan dagger
#

<@&286206848099549185>

dense lynx
cyan dagger
#

you mean n = k?

dense lynx
#

no

cyan dagger
#

aint that n = k

#

but okay what do I do to get it though

dense lynx
#

you already have it, you have to make use of it

cyan dagger
#

yeah sorry that’s what I tried to say my bad 😭

dense lynx
#

oh i see

cyan dagger
#

I’m not sure how to reach there

wheat pawn
#

so you currently have:
1296*6^4k + 38*38^k - 2

#

1296 = 17*74 + 38

#

does that help?

cyan dagger
cyan dagger
#

how did you get that?

wheat pawn
#

divide 1296 by 74. You got 17 as quotient, 38 as remainder

cyan dagger
wheat pawn
#

...

cyan dagger
#

this is thr mark scheme though

#

I wanna know this method

dense lynx
#

and remove a multiple of 6^(4k) + 38^k - 2 (which you assume to be divisible by 74) until the 6^(4k) term disappears

cyan dagger
wheat pawn
cyan dagger
#

can yall just show me the working out I am really really tired I’ll try learn it from working

wheat pawn
# cyan dagger I wanna know this method

what he's doing here is taking this expression:
1296*6^4k + 38*38^k - 2
now, from the hypothesis of induction, you know that:
1*6^4k + 1*38^k - 2
is divisible by 74

#

so you're left with two parts:
(1295*6^4k + 37*38^k) + (1*6^4k + 1*38^k - 2)

#

37*38^k = 37*(2^k)*(19^k); Since 37*2 = 74, and k>=1, that part is divisible by 74.

i get $\lim_{n\to\infty} \dfrac{(4\cdot9\cdot14\dotsb(5n-1))(3\cdot7\cdot11\dotsb(4n+3))}{(3\cdot7\cdot11\dotsb(4n-1))(4\cdot9\cdot14\dotsb(5n+4))}$

but this gives 1

#

it shouldnt

radiant anvil
#

describe the left cosets of SL2(R) in GL2(R). what is the index of SL2(R) in GL2(R)?

radiant anvil
#

all elements of SL2 are invertible so each left coset would be the all matrices with the same determinant right?

#

the index of a subgroup would be the number of cosets. in this case it is infinity

Help

devout snowBOT
halcyon yew
#

Plz

#

I dont understand how to do a at all

storm gyro
#

Identify what'll be different about the graphs and what'll be the same

#

it might help to draw them first to do so.

halcyon yew
#

Would a just be horizontal reflection and y intercept down 3 @storm gyro

#

O wait i drew it and see that it is just a vertical reflection but how do i know this without drawing

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

Or @storm gyro

neon zephyr
#

y=-f(x) for the first one.

#

That's a reflection about the x axis

halcyon yew
#

So y is always f(x)?

neon zephyr
#

yes

#

the first y

#

then you compute the second y as something with f(x)

halcyon yew
#

Wait so whenever i do a question y is f(x)?

neon zephyr
#

you can assume the case, yes

halcyon yew
#

Wdym like in any problem i can assume thisv

#

?

#

@neon zephyr

neon zephyr
#

so the first equation was $y=4x+3$

woven radishBOT
#

🌸Anthea of the Flowers🌸

neon zephyr
#

you can assume $f(x)=y=4x+3$,
which means that for the second equation,$ y=-4x-3=-(4x+3)=-f(x)$

woven radishBOT
#

🌸Anthea of the Flowers🌸

halcyon yew
#

So in any question i do can i always assume y is f(x)

#

@neon zephyr

neon zephyr
#

yes

halcyon yew
#

Ok ok that makes a lot more sense thx @neon zephyr

#

Why does x_i = i/n?

#

What math is being being done to calculate this?

#

x_i is just referencing a point on the domain, and I get that. But how do we know it’s i/n? Is there a calculation with delta x somehow to find this?

#

like if delta x was different would x_i be different too?

late flint
#

$a=0$, so in the context of $x_i$, $b-a$ would be the same as $i-0$ I think

woven radishBOT
#

solaris

mild basin
#

I thought delta x is the width of the interval

late flint
#

yeah it is

mild basin
#

The interval (delta x) is calculated using (b-a)/n

acoustic leaf
late flint
#

it's the same as integrating from 0 to $i$ I believe

woven radishBOT
#

solaris

mild basin
#

Because of sigma?

acoustic leaf
#

x_i can be anywhere in the interval but the left or right endpoints are usually easier to calculate

mild basin
#

I can only assume sigma in top right is what says that?

acoustic leaf
#

based on the endpoints and arithmetic

mild basin
acoustic leaf
#

well we could still use x_i = i/n if the sum went from i = 0 to n-1

mild basin
#

I’m so confused right now.

mild basin
acoustic leaf
#

or we could use the same summation limits and use (i-1)/n for the left endpoints

mild basin
supple knot
#

Avid you should do simpler problems

mild basin
#

This is intro to Riemann sun

supple knot
#

Like with specific n that's small

acoustic leaf
#

draw a number line and figure out what the end points of a partition of 0 to 1 into 5 equal subdivisions should look like

supple knot
#

Instead of abstract

mild basin
#

We can find the area under any curve by dividing the space into small shapes with known areas and adding them together. The most common way is using Riemann Sums: rectangles of some even width with areas of length x width. As width decreases and the number of rectangles – or subintervals – increases, our estimate for the space they occupy become...

vast violet
#

Hi

devout snowBOT
vast violet
#

would the appropriate equation to use for this be

junior chasm
#

yes

#

$v^2 - u^2 = 2as$

vast violet
#

ok i work it out and show

woven radishBOT
#

Astar777

junior chasm
#

its the same as this, right?

vast violet
#

Uh

#

Not sure

junior chasm
#

yeah its same

vast violet
#

oh

upper schooner
#

(it is: "suvat" is another form of these, but instead, e.g. u is the initial velocity, with v being the final velocity, and s being displacement)

#

@faint gorge hiii KL1LoveHug

vast violet
#

so 0=(16)^2+2(9.8)(-25-0) is good for this so far?

junior chasm
#

why is v = 0

vast violet
#

o

junior chasm
#

v is what u have to find

vast violet
#

ok

#

Oops

#

Makes sense

#

-234?!?

#

uhhhhh

#

i made some dumb mistake somewhere

#

oh ok square root

upper schooner
vast violet
#

the 9.8?

#

what would be better for this

#

use negative or positve

junior chasm
#

anything

#

if u take downward direction negative

vast violet
#

thing is the prof said i should always use the position upward

#

idk what that is

junior chasm
#

yeah downward direction negative

#

that means -9.8 and s will be negative too

vast violet
#

like that yellow lne

#

Oh ok

#

so if 9.8 is negative

#

what is s

#

what should change here

#

v^2=16^2+2(-9.8)(-25-0)

#

i got 27.3

#

Oh i get it

#

So the y must match with G

#

in term of signs?

junior chasm
#

here u were throwing the ball downwards

#

which we took as negative

#

so the s (displacement) was negative

#

but if u threw the ball upwards (which we took as positive) then s would be positive

vast violet
#

would it be positive though

#

can we do that too

#

since gravity is pushing down

#

sorry

devout snowBOT
vast violet
#

but

#

In the organge he wrong

#

Vox= V0

#

and Voy = 0

#

he wrote**

#

Is it because we start at the origin or

#

idk the reason for that sry ):

#

ohhh

#

Ok tell me if im wrong

#

I will try

#

So V0x = the horizontal and it is initial velcoity as the word problem says 2.7m horizontal

#

I hope i donnt sound dumb

#

And V0y = 0 is for the vertical but idk why 0

#

id assume cuz we start at origin but

soft umbra
vast violet
#

yep

soft umbra
#

So, the initial speed is Vx, which is also V0

vast violet
#

Oh ok

soft umbra
#

There was no vertical force applied to the ball

vast violet
#

ohhhhh

cosmic lodge
#

ok so im dumping this into the formula but im not getting it.

im getting -6(x+3)-4(y-3)-6(z) = 0

mystic scarab
#

It's correct

#

What is the result given?

cosmic lodge
#

its saying its equal to 18 so maybe im just doing the distributions wrong

mystic scarab
#

-6(x+3)-4(y-3)-6(z) = 0

==> -6x - 18 -4y + 12 -6z = 0

==> -6x -4y -6z - 6 = 0

==> 3x + 2y + 3z + 3 = 0

cosmic lodge
#

oh maybe i do need to simplify it

mystic scarab
#

I don't know, but this final form and what you got are both correct

cosmic lodge
#

cool way to show that it and the positive are equal

#

oh wait i might have a dumb idea

the idea worked

had to do -18x-12y-18z = 18

can we just square the sum of x to find sum of x^2?

Excuse handwriting

is that supposed to be a slash/

in english you essentially are saying "the range is the set of real numbers y, such that y is between 2 and 3"

also

#

2>y>3?

worldly latch
#

Yeah that what I’m confused abt

misty crest
#

if 2>y then how is y>3 sir

worldly latch
#

I have no clue how to state it

#

There’s a little hole from 2 to 3

misty crest
#

to say something is between something you’d do a<x<b

#

less than the boundaries

worldly latch
#

Dyk how to state the domain then?

misty crest

you already stated the domain

also

#

it’s supposed to look like $\in$

woven radishBOT
misty crest

not E

worldly latch

You’re right

so consider the portion of the graph for x<0

2^x + 1 has a maximum of 2 for x<0

#

what is its minimum

#

in other words

#

as x-> -inf

worldly latch
#

Approaches 1

misty crest
#

mhm

#

so then it’s between 1 and 2 for x<0

#

now how about the other portion

#

what’s the minimum

worldly latch
#

Oh yeah

#

3

misty crest
#

and the maximum?

#

x-> inf

#

what happens

worldly latch
#

Y approaches infinity as well

misty crest
#

right

#

so what y values don’t we hit

worldly latch
#

1 and everything below that and between 2 and 3

misty crest
#

mhm so

#

we know 1<y<2

#

no equality btw

worldly latch
#

Tru

misty crest
#

and [3,inf)

#

you can use U

#

or set builder if you’d like

worldly latch
#

Mmmm

#

Alr ty

very much idk how to determine that

robust dust
#

multiply out AB and BA

misty crest
#

find AB and BA

robust dust
#

then equate entries

lament schooner
#

uh im just a but cvonfysed on how

#

A can br multiplied with b

fervent hornet
#

yes A can be multiplied with B

lament schooner
#

what does it mean by commute

#

like it can multipled?

#

okay thing is i dont see what value abcd can have

#

that can prevent a commute

#

or multiplication

robust dust
#

commuting means you can swap the ordering

#

e.g. addition is commutative, so a + b = b + a, but e.g. subtraction is non-commutative, since a - b is not equal to b - a in general

lament schooner
#

ah

robust dust
#

matrix multiplication is not commutative

lament schooner
#

i know that

robust dust
#

the question is asking for which values of a,b,c,d make it so that AB = BA

lament schooner
#

actually i thjink if theres a row or column of zero then its non communable?

#

am i mistaken

robust dust
#

no, counterexample: zero matrix commutes with everything

#

since zero matrix times any matrix is the zero matrix

lament schooner
#

time is it not commutable

#

i know the size of the matrix changes a lot of things

#

but idk

#

what the entries have to do with commutability

robust dust
#

can you multiply out AB and BA

#

as in, write out the resulting 2x2 matrices in terms of a,b,c, and d

lament schooner
#

or replace them with a nonzero/zero value

robust dust
#

using a,b,c,d

lament schooner
#

oh okay ty

lament schooner
#

0 a

#

0 c

#

BA

#

c d

#

0 0

robust dust
#

I think the first entry of AB may be mistaken

lament schooner
#

by the way commute is

#

AB=BA right

robust dust
#

yes

lament schooner
robust dust
#

aight, looks good

#

so when are these two matrices equal?

lament schooner
#

but uh

robust dust
#

not quite

#

c = 0 is a good start

lament schooner
#

ah and a=d?

#

idkj if i can do that

robust dust
#

yes

#

that's right

#

and b can be anything

lament schooner
#

oh thats it?

#

O_O

robust dust
#

yeah

lament schooner
#

oh i thought it was gonna be more complicated

#

okay ty!

restive river
#

Find an approximation to √3 correct to within 10−4 using the Bisection Algorithm.

restive river
#

I understand how to use the bisection method on a function

#

how would this be applied to a number

supple knot
#

In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs. The method consists of repeatedly bisecting the interval defined by these values and then selecting the subinterval in which the function changes sign, and therefore must contain a root. It is...

#

they have a similar example to yours

gray fern
#

Assume the function is x^2 - 3

restive river
#

my apologies but im not following

#

why would i assume the function to be x^2-3

gray fern
#

It's a function that has a root at exactly sqrt(3)

restive river
#

ah perfect, that makes sense

#

thankyou

dusty robin
#

Could someone explain what like a free variable is

devout snowBOT
#

@dusty robin Has your question been resolved?

faint gorge
#

See this results from looking at the last row where you can see 0y = 0 and this is always true for any value of y.
So y is a free variable.

#

x will then depend on the free variable basically

dusty robin
#

Oh that makes sense

#

Thank you!

devout snowBOT
#

@dusty robin Has your question been resolved?

acoustic leaf
#

the number of free variables given by the number of variable columns without a pivot

ashen carbon

hi i need help

devout snowBOT
limber kernel
ashen carbon
#

apologise if this is confusing, but i wanted to know something probability related. if i flip a coin heads or tails with 50% random odds of course , and i want heads 3 times in a row how likely is this to happen?

#

tried asking chatgpt but it keeps breaking down on math related stuff 💀

#

also, if i am constained to only being able to flip 5 times, 10 times, and 15 times, does this affect the final answer?

topaz axle
#

eventually it will happen

#

the more you flip the more certain you are in advance

ashen carbon
#

i meant like could someone figure out the %'s for this?

#

if i flip 5 times, i want 3 heads in a row , if i flip 10 times

#

etc

#

so far i know the odds are 1 in 8 overall, or 12.5%

#

but if im looking for it to happen within x amount of flips, i wanted to know how that affects the answer

topaz axle
#

12.5 is actually if you flip 3 times

#

there's no overall

uncut crow
#

if you want like the expected number of flips before some particular string of flips is seen, you can usually do that with conditioning

#

for probability some particular string is seen in a fixed amount of flips, well, tough to answer that in general

ashen carbon
ashen carbon
#

like if on a coin flip the odds are naturally 50/50, what is the expected number of flips to land at 3 heads in a row

#

% wise probability of that happening

topaz axle
#

it depends on how many times you flip

ashen carbon
#

ok so what if i flip 5 times, can you give a %

#

or 10 times
