computers like desmos can't do that because float type numbers have finite precision, when "x is p/q where q is odd" requires infinite precision
(so no, it's not that it can't be plotted by a computer, it's that the plot itself is not quite well defined)
is x^x defined only for postive integers for convinience?
Note that Desmos can plot n^n for any integer n
.
and that's because desmos works with a different type of data
computers work with integers quite well
x^x defined for all positive reals
Yeah, you just can't really mix ints and floats (unless you specifically program that, but why bother)
oohh cool
when you ask to compute f(x) for specific values of x
like x = p/q with q odd
and p negative
desmos responds
but it doesn't plot it
because plotting is done with floats
hmmm
vs computing f(-1/3), -1/3 is interpreted as a rational number
and then?
well that's it

any easy way to solve this?
i tried with that (5(x^2 +4x+ 3) + 5(4x+3))/(x^2+4x+3) but my answer is really different
use ^ for exponents
also 5(x^2 + 4x + 3) + 5(x^2 + 3) ≠ 5x^2 ...
you want to do the polynomial long division first
sorry i meant - instead of that +
hmm okay
5(x^2 + 4x + 3) - 5(x^2 + 3) still isn't equal to 5x^2
in any case btw, after the long division you'll have a mildly bashy but not terribly hard integral
(5(x^2 +4x+ 3) - 5(4x+3))/(x^2+4x+3
okay okay
Ann
yep
i tried but i am getting B as 45/2 and A as -5/2 , after solving with those values i am still not getting the correct answer
or whatever the answer is given at the back of my book
theres like 37,000 different places you could've made an arithmetic fuckup
which of these goes over which denom btw
i am geting (45/2)log (x+3) -(5/2)log(x+1)
?
is it A/(x+1) or is it A/(x+3)
the first one
uh huh...
well ok, probably easier to differentiate your thing
,w d/dx [45/2 * log(x+3) - 5/2 * log(x+1)]
number 16,(answer)
yeah
note the final answer will have to be 5 - I where I is the result of F(2)-F(1) with F(x)=
(45/2)log (x+3) -(5/2)log(x+1)
and what's your answer
um i didnt get it
that one
.
i didnt understand 😭
when you found the definite integral
what did you get
if NOTHING: where did you hit a barrier
oh i might be dumb as shi 💀 i forgot its a definate integral
😭 i am sorry
i forgot to do that part
you forgor 💀

Can someone help me with part a and b pkease. I have started it but i think its wrong so a bit confused. 🤣
Yep :) Your working out does show it!
So how do i do part A?
Wellllll x can equal 6, no?
What are the solutions to 2x(x - 6) = 0?
Good. So, what's the x coordinate of R?
0
Nice. I mean you can also look at the graph and see it's a little obvious:
R lies on the y axis. That means that, you should check x = 0 on both quadratics.
Yea but idk how to get the Y axis
R lies on the curve y = x^2 - 8x + 12, right?
Hm, why 6?
Are you sure?
I sub in 0
You are good. No problem!
Ill fill out the formfor ya too 🙂

I am currently working through a textbook and have the following task
"Show that the equivalence relationships reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity actually are equivalence relationships"
Now I understand the definitions of these three terms as such, what I am struggling with is proving the statement because I do not know how to start. Can someone give me a pointer as to how to frame and think about this problem?
(do you happen to have a picture of the question, and what it actually says? I'm not sure whether I'm parsing it correctly - are you being asked to show that some relation is an equivalence relation, and so satisfy those three terms?)
It is unfortunately in german. Let me translate it via deepl quickly
show original
ok let me install discord on my phone quickly 😄
Task 3 although I might have realized that I misinterpreted it. The other pages are there for reference
You want to prove that an equivalence relation has these three propreties verified ?
"show that the examples of equivalence relations in section 1.2 are indeed equivalence relations"
mentioned examples:
x~y iff x and y live in the same city
x~y iff x and y are represented by the same member of the bundestag
x~y iff x=y
x~y iff x and y are parallel (lines)
x~y iff n | x-y
This is probably what I am misunderstanding ... I thought (the question is pretty vague about it) I have to prove the equivalence relationships themselves and was pretty lost so most likely, yes, what you said is correct.
Ok then it is much clearer ... I'll go solve the question then. Thanks for the patience and dealing with my lack of interpretation skills haha 😄
I will close this chat then

.
can someone please explain to me what a parallel projection is? i understand what a normal projection from say vector v onto z but what is a parallel projection. Yeah it gets right of a component but how is it parallel?
Okay, so
In reality they are basically the same
Normal Projection is used to find the projection of a vector v, to the direction perpendicular to a plane.
Parallel Projection is the projection of a vector v to a direction parallel to another vector
Or onto a plane.
I separeted the two because, if you give it some thought, the first description is quite literally the same process as Normal Projection
The "onto a plane" version is a bit different tho.
I swear there is a prettier formula for it, but you can find it by choosing two coplanar vectors as reference, doing Normal/parallel projection for each and adding both results

Ok so there’s this thing and I’m supposed to show that the dimension of it is N-1 by utilizing another expression
This is the other expression and I was supposed to prove it’s surjective to help with the dimension but I’m not sure how that’s related
I think I have sth showing it’s surjective but it doesn’t seem helpful
The vector w is also complex and not the zero vector
Think about the properties of tau here
And what does this mean for S
Surjectivity is nice but surjective isn’t that related to the = 0 part
Not sure if I follow
What’s interesting about a = 0 condition
What else in linear algebra has a = 0 condition?
Linear independence?
True, what else
90 degree angle between vectors
Also now that I think about it you also need the surjectivity later
We’re in a vector space we have no notion of angles
I don’t think I can think of a different thing atm
Kernel/null space
Sorry I have 3 hours of sleep and a professor who demands that I submit homework in a mailbox
If A is a linear transformation then ker(A) is the subset of the domain of A such that Ax = 0
The kernel of A is everything A sends to 0
The kernel of A is a subspace
You should know these things
This is the basics of linear algebra it’s what everything else is built upon
I wish the order in which we learned things made sense
Looks like we’ll both suffer from it
Well start here
Show that kernel of A is a subspace
The trick I think here is to look at the kernel of tau
Since tau is surjective the image has dim 1
So the kernel must have dim domain - image = N-1
This uses the fundamental theorem of linear algebra
What would that be?
But S is precisely the kernel of tau
Given an m×n matrix A, the fundamental theorem of linear algebra is a collection of results relating various properties of the four fundamental matrix subspaces of A. In particular: 1. dimR(A)=dimR(A^(T)) and dimR(A)+dimN(A)=n where here, R(A) denotes the range or column space of A, A^(T) denotes its transpose, and N(A) denotes its null space....
You can ignore everything with orthogonality since we have no inner product
I should mention that my prof started talking about matrices today
I don’t know anything about those yet
Except for some very basic things I’ve figured out by myself
Can you elaborate that part please
@atomic idol Has your question been resolved?
The image of a linear transformation is again a subspace

so far ive completed this
yeah, so did you calculate the values of Sat - Wed?
we use something called stat crunch to make these calculations
but i have no clue what to select
can u help me figure how to do it
never seen this in my life ngl
DAMN
this yeah
you were supposed to do a box plot or answer which box plot is the correct one?
idk wihich one
can u help me do that
yo bro
@coral dragon
how do i find the correct box plot
🥀
first calculate Sat - Wed
| Camera | Sat | Wed | Sat − Wed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2244 | 2 | 19 | −17 |
| 1671 | 14 | 8 | 6 |
| 2081 | 10 | 3 | 7 |

ok
sorry for bad allignment
u good i see it perfectly
now you look at biggest/lowest/median values
erm
so with the numbers you said
wait look
past this correct
ok
fixed it to noy be on top
then i
?
golod?
huh
hold up, cause now I'm confusing myself lol
ok
🙁
im so cooked
🥀
im studying for my exam tmrw
idk how to even get a box plot
🥀
sir
?
what program do youuse
stat crunch
to generate plots
stat crunch
you just need to select the Diff column, not Camera ID, Sat, or Wed
create the “Diff” column
ah ok
LOL
wiat no ur right
i almost got it mistakend
i have 2 more pwease help me
ill calculate and just tell me if i got it correct
e
its fine
why did i getting this?
ok
yo
here is the problem
it will only let me select one tax rate
and i need to do both to get my answers
or
i can just do one at a time
?
1
this what i got
its either b or c?
yo
bro
i think its c
am i correct
ik its c
ok lemme see
and i think this is b
I got this
looks more like a B to me
so im wrong because women is longer
but idk
thats where i messed up
image kinda bad to read
yep
that was my line of thought
wait no
it cant be
so b or c
ima just go with b
but look
look at c
the lines r close
bu b there far
pretty sure it's B, cause woman has longer tail + man has outlier
B is the only that matches both
what abt this im done
oh lemme se
gemini said it was c 🥀
chat gpt said b 🥀
google said a 🥀
ima just do b fuck it
yo i think im done
i think the other one is correct
AI is bad at reading those imgs
doesn't look like a match :despair:
okay

I can't see the pattern, can anybody please help
The bottom looks like n • (4n+3)
First term is 2^3 - 1^3
Second term adds in 4^3 - 3^3
Third term = 2nd term + 6^3 - 5^3
but there denominators are different right?
Ye
then how?
So like, each "pair" is just $n^3 - (n-1)^3$
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
Try using the difference of cubes identity
alright
Try to simplify each pair
my bad
You should get your first factor as 1
i don't get it
Try factoring this
So you could see what the pattern is clearer
Prathmesh
The 1s is self explanatory
Isn't that (2n)³-(2n-1)³?
Assuming n is an even number
I still don't get it
Odd work too wdym
$\sum_{n=1}^{15} (4n^2 + (2n-1)^2 + 2n \cdot (2n-1))$
Hunter
hmm the first two term would add up so you get sum of square if you know what the formula is
if you expand the last term it would be 4n^2 this's also sum of square
2n is just sum of integers from 1 twice
yeah
okkkk
or you can do
2 x (sum of even cubes from 2 to 2n) - (sum of cubes from 1 to n)
got it
it all cancels
find a_n close form, then bn-b_{n-1} = a_n = that close form then you could find close form of b_n
It seems like close form of b_n is quadratic sequence
@fervent helm Has your question been resolved?
(2n-1)n²
This might be tje general form @fervent helm
Then u simplify the sigma
And put n=15 at last
since sequence for a is 1, 3, 5...
sequence for b would be 1, 1 + 3, 1 + 3 + 5, ...
Closed due to timeout

is there a way to do this without randomly putting values
graph
and i also want to know what f(x) really is because it says min of smth comma smth?
like f of x is min of both of those vlaues ?
minimum of the functions at that point
like the smaller of both is the function at that point
if 1/2-3x^2/4 at a particular x-value is smaller, take that value, otherwise take the value of 5x^2/4
yeah just draw the graph
[\operatorname{min}(a(x),b(x)):=\begin{cases}a(x)&\text{if }a(x)<b(x)\b(x)&\text{if }a(x)>b(x)\\end{cases}]

i want to prove that
$$
\int_{x_1=0}^1 \cdots \int_{x_m=x_{m-1}}^m 1 , dx_m \cdots dx_1 = \frac{(m+1)^{m-1}}{m!}
$$
artemetra
but i don't know how to do this
i tried computing a general
$$
\int_{x_1=0}^1 \cdots \int_{x_m=x_{m-1}}^m f(x_m) , dx_m \cdots dx_1
$$
for any $f$ so that i can substitute $f(x_m)=\int_{x_m}^{m+1} 1 dx_m$ and do induction
but that seems to be harder than the original problem
artemetra
can't you use fubini in the inductive step?
how? the bounds depend on the variable w.r.t. which we are integrating?
or am i wrong
my multivar is rusty asf
also $f(x_m)=\int_{x_{m+1}=x_m}^{m+1} 1 dx_{m+1}$
like that
artemetra
so if you compute the inner integral then you have int int int ... c-x_i dx dx dx which you can pull apart into int int int c dx dx dx - int int int x_i dx dx dx
where I'm too lazy to type properly
the first one should certainly be doable with induction
and the second also doesnt feel that bad?
the goat
frankly you probably just have to get your hands dirty
@frozen aurora Has your question been resolved?
the first one is basically the original one if you take the constnant c out of all the integrals, but the second one is like the original but with x instead of 1, which looks harder...
but I'll give it a try
that's fair :(

How do we turn a sine function into a cos function/ cos function into sin function
you mean put it in that form?
yes switch between forms i can show an example
cos(90-A)=sinA
yea but we do it in radians
then just cos(pi/2-A)=sinA
for this example we dont need to care about the negative sign right
i see, but then for this pretend we only have cos
shouldnt this be 0?
it would be pie/2 - pie/2
oh
yes from cos to sine
$2(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4})=A$
ImOakley
$\frac{\pi}{2}-A=\frac{\pi}{2}-2(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4})$
ImOakley
$=\frac{\pi}{2}-2\theta+\frac{\pi}{2}$
ImOakley
$=\pi-2\theta$
ImOakley
im so confused 😭
this is the bit inside the trig function
wym
you have $y=7\sin{[2(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4})]}-3$
ImOakley
you need to convert $\sin{[2(\theta-\frac{\pi}{4})]}$ into cosine
ImOakley
the angle in question is always the entirety of whats inside the sine
so to convert it into cosine you minus the whole thing from pi/2

help !
You just have to keep track of your parenthesis and the order of operations
Do you have a specific example of an operation you want to try
this one …. Why isnt it working when i am solving the equation … i manually had to try the options..
You divided both sides by 0.05 so it should have become 0.15/0.05=1+B
put the right hand side of he equation in line 2 inside parenthesis
(0.05+B(0.05)
and then when you divide both sides
you will get something different than what you wrote
so even if right side was 0.05 * B(0.05) i should have put it in parenthesis first?
That is what the right hand side is already
So yes
They meant if it was mutiply instead of add
yes… will it still become 1*B ?

I think I might be stupid but how do I justify x^2+x+2 is greater than 0 for all reals
trying to find domain and I know the function x^2+x+2 is greater tha 0 for all reals but not sure mathematically how to come to that conclusion
complete the square!
oh
oh no I completely forgot how to do that
haven't touched complete the square since grade 10 :((((

or you could set d/dx (x^2 + x + 2) = 0
then sub that x-value back in
since it's concave up (*+*x^2) you know that must be the minimum

on the bottom line, i think that if i can show that thing in brackets is equal to 1, then the proof is complete, but im not sure how to show it is equal to 1, as there are so many terms in the bracket, (as its the sum of the recipricol of (k+1) multiplied by any number(x) between 1 and k), or maybe theres a different way to approach this? thanks
oops when n = 3, s_n is also 3
I think it would give an exponential series?
like e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + ... ?
Yeah
e-1
I dont think u understand the ques
Reciprocal of product of elements
Not product of reciprocals of elements
Sorry to intrude but arent these two the same
Not really no
U find the product first then reciprocate it
Oh wait
I dont understand ur soln dang TT

s_k+1 will contain all of s_k and also contain the sum of recipricols of (k+1), (k+1)(k) and loads of other terms like (k+1)(2), (k+1)(k-5)(4)(1) etc
no its ok my working out sucks
s_k+1 contains s_k and also the sum of all the recipricols or all the possible terms containing a (k+1) 😭 if that makes any sense
I don't get how you're getting $S_2=2$. Wouldn't it be $\frac11+\frac1{1\times2}$?
SWR
Oh. You are doing every subset
The question is ambiguous because i think it just wants you to do the subsets {1,2,...,n}
whats the difference between subsets and every subset
My interpretation is that it wants you to do just the sets {1}, {1,2}, {1,2,3} etc
But maybe i am wrong
But it could be the way you are thinking, because you're getting a nice result
i think this works, since every new term involving (k+1) will be the same as the amount in S_k, since its just each term in S_k multiplied by k+1, and then we have the unique 1/(k+1) term

Let $S$ be a nonempty set and let $e \in S$. Define an operation $*$ on $S$ by putting $a * b = e$ for all $a, b \in S$.
(a) Show that $S$ is a semigroup under the operation $*$.
edg
Here's my current progress so far
\begin{proof}
Let us recall that a semigroup is a nonempty set that has associative property. Suppose that there exists another element $c \in S$, we will verify whether $S$ is associative and closed under $*$.
$$(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)$$
Checking the left side, because we know that $a * b = e$,
$$e * c = a * (b * c)$$
\end{proof}
edg
Since we know that a * b = e, how will we know what's e * c or b * c even? This is the part where I'm kinda stuck
You have more than just a * b = e since that is true for all a,b in S
the problem doesnt give anything other than that
a and b aren't specific elements in S
The question says that for any a and b, a * b = e
i.e. any two elements multiply together to get e
That's what the upside down A means
even though it says for all a, b in S? or am i understanding it wrong
Yes you're understanding it wrong
Think of it this way
If I want to define a function of the real numbers, I might say that f(x) = 2 * x for all x
x isn't a specific number, it's just a stand in
It's exactly the same here
i see
a and b don't represent specific elements of S, they're just standins
And it's exactly the same for a, b, c here
then how should i approach this problem?
am i to say that a * b = e and b * c = e?
since they're just arbitrary
That's correct
Closed by @torn thicket

Oh yeah also another nitpick
oh
The set does not have the associative property
The operation does
The set is just a set

for part A, i just have no idea how to parametrize that intersection curve
i tried plugging in for y in the second equation but got 2 quadratics
you do not need to parametrize the curve of intersection c to evaluate the line integral
@junior heron Has your question been resolved?
HUH???
how would you do it
so i see on desmos 3d that from the positive y axis its a circle
so that is a closed loop therefore integral is 0 ??
yup
exactly
if thats true how would i know that without desmos 3d
and how does that tell me its closed
One curve is a "3d quadratic" and the other is a plane. You might imagine they make some kind of ellipse
oh wait my bad
yes this is the correct response for that question
It doesn't tell you it's a closed loop, it just tells you it's a conservative vector field

Hey, I’m stuck and this is starting to feel pretty convoluted, so I’ll try to be clear.
What I have:
A timestamped stochastic time-series (e.g. market prices). It’s noisy but when an event happens the series often shows a reaction (up or down), sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes nothing, thats what I am investigating.
A sequential list of events (ordered list). There are 5 possible event types (call them 1..5). I know the sequence and the type at each position, but no timestamps — just the order (e.g. 3 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1 → ...).
I expect each event (usually) causes a reaction in the time-series.
Goal:
Align each event in the ordered list to the most likely reaction in the time-series and learn how each event type (1..5) typically affects the series (direction, magnitude).
Why this is hard:
The timeseries is stochastic many spontaneous moves that are not caused by events.
Reactions vary by event type and magnitude.
Events only come with order, not time.
Lag is unknown and non-stationary. Between each event.
Any help will be appreciated
yea there's not enough information to help you unless you give more information to "reaction in the time-series." that's uninformative to the problem

i found EX1 and EX2 using conditional expectation and im recognizing a pattern but im struggling to find a closed form for the pattern
i did
its
so x1 is 1 + 2/9, x2 is 1 + 4/9 + 4/27
x3 is 1 + 3(2/9) + 3(4/27) + 8/81
its def some sort of geometric series but im struggling to find a closed form
For X_2?
ya
uni
ya where did that 3 in the denominator come from
you'd have 1/9
so you mentioned geometric series
r is 2/some faactor of 3
why do you think that?
it seems like ur multiplying by 1/3 each time
yes
and ex1 = 1 + 2/9?
yes
and ex2 = 1 + 4/9 + 4/81 
yup
do you see a pattern there?
so r = 2/9
try computing ex3
yawp
1 + 2/3 + 4/9 + 8/9^3
instead of 27^2 let's say 9^3
one thing that's interesting about this problem is that it's kinda symmetric
it doesn't really matter what you start with, right? like it's all the same
if you started with $100
then your ev after 1 round would be 100 (1 + 2/9)
so what if you started with 1 + 2/9?
ur ev would be (1 + 2/9)^2?
yawp
So is EX2 just EX1 as if you started with (1+2/9)
Ohhhhhhhhh
Thank you
do u have any tips for recognizing patterns like this cuz i feel like this is the part i sometimes struggle w
hmm
sometimes it's just experience but in this case there's something called linearity of expectations
i didn't recognise it immediately
wait how does linearity of expectation apply

im stuck pls helppp
i got a+b+c = 64a-14 but idk what to do from here
only thing i know about a is that it should be positive
ya
What is a vertex?
9, -14
like its min/max
here its min
btw i found a+b+c by doing vertex form eq = given eq
There's a much more straightforward way to do it here
What are the properties of a turning point?
yo are we doing like calc or sm
Yeah
Nvm
like when dy/dx = 0?
Yes
bruh its D
😂
Bruh
9 -14
Then it’s so ob D
Using the same reasoning
A must be positive
64a-14 and a is positive
Only possible answer is D
can you explain this
Wait you didn't learn calc?
i learned ts
i did calc bc last year
Since a is positive 64a is positive
ya
Nah we can manipulate it to help find the coefficients
How?
?
How is a positive guys?
The parabol intersects the x axis 2 times
And vertex is at 9 -14 meaning a must be positive
Ok
Elaborate on this
We already have the slope
The coefficients
Did you understand my explanation
Closed by @craggy summit
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
There's a turning point at (9,-14)
18a+b = 0 then
Gradient at that point is 0
Now what
Sub in (9,-14) to the original equation
81a+9b+c = -14
You need another eq
There are many equations that satisfy these parameters
yo why are we using calc for ts 😭
Our question was to find the possible answer
Idk that what I am trying to find out
Calc ain’t all that
Vertex is -b/2a
what math are yall in
12th grade
i did calc bc last year
You?
now im doing mvc
Are you taking the sat
ya
i did allat just to redo algebra
ya
I see what grade are you in?
11th
Are you aiming for 1500+
uh im aiming for 1550+ but its my first time so smth like 1500
Oh wait my bad guys I didn't read the question properly
Yeah you convert it to vertex form, expand and compare coefficients
I got 1530
Then find the discriminant which must be positive due to 2 real roots
800 on math is ez
i need like 750+
But 700+ on rw is hard
im mocking 730-750 rn

I would like help understanding how, in audio engineering, sine sweeps recorded in a space are smushed into a single point in time to create an impulse response, to then use in convolution reverbs.
I understand that the sine sweep will go from 20Hz up to 20kHz over the span of let's say 6 seconds.
Then this is "deconvolved" into a single point somehow, containing all the frequencies in one moment, but minus the sine itself. Apparently this uses some kind of inverted sine sweep, but I'm not understanding any of this part.
How does this work? What is this inverted sine that it's being "deconvolved" with? I saw some mentions of the fast fourier transform. How is that involved?
An example shown in this video at 5:10 to 5:30
https://youtu.be/BLKWy-U6iQY?si=XEroyKvGb0sbgfDY
I'm just trying to understand audio software a little better at the lower level, and the math behind it.
Thank you!

How can I solve these kinds of problems correctly and quickly? I try using formulas, but I still dont really understand them
welp
wait
use this root property:
$\sqrt[n]{\frac{A}{B}} = \frac{\sqrt[n]{A}}{\sqrt[n]{B}}$
1/n
1 divided by 0 equals Infinity
this one
@restive river
Roots obey the same properties as exponents. Notably because they can be represented as exponents: (\sqrt[a]{b}=b^{\frac1a})
ΠαϳαμαΜαμαΛλαμα
@restive river Has your question been resolved?
Yes ik
have you done any question now?
Tomorrow I have a test on nth roots. Are there any important formulas or key points I should know?

this one is the key to roots
