so is it all - (less than 7k + even - less than 7k and even)

#

all is 5P4

#

less than 7k+even is 4*4P3

#

less than 7k AND even is 3*4P2

#

5P4-(4*4P3-3*4P2)

#

its 60

#

i was missing a bracket

#

WHT AM I DOING WRONG

uncut crow
#

the digits are 2,3,7,8,9.
the 4 digits numbers less than 7000 and even look like 2xx8 or 3xx2 or 3xx8

#

do you see an issue in your expression?

robust ermine
#

oh crap

#

i was

#

i was ooking at a different question when i did the last part

uncut crow
#

we have 3 left to choose 2 from and permute, not 4

robust ermine
#

i read 6 digits

#

42

#

ITS CORRECT

#

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

complementary counting

to hell with with it

#

lol no sometimes it is the simplest way

#

just not here

solid perch
#

if complementary counting leads to some weird inclusion-exclusion bs, then might wanna consider direct counting.

IM SORRY MY PHONE CAMERA IS BROKEN I CANT TAKE A PHOTO OF THE QUESTION BUT ILL TRY EXPLAIN IT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE

"in the coordinate system the parabola y= x² + k and the line y= -6x - k is shown below. If the parabola is tangent to the line at point (m,n), what is the sum of m+n+k?"

latent hedge
#

i got 27 as an answer and its none of the choices...

solid perch
#

can you please show your work? (typing it out is fine if you cannot take a picture of your written work.)

tepid kestrel
#

is it 15?

latent hedge
#

x²+k = -6x -k
x² + 6x + 2k =0
its tangent therefore ∆=0
6²-4(1×2k) =0
k= 4.5
y= -6x -k
y= -6(4.5) - 4.5
y= -31.5
4.5 + (-31.5) = -27... 😭😭

latent hedge
#

PLEASE SHARE THY KNOWLEDGE

solid perch
#

y= -6x -k
y= -6(4.5) - 4.5

where did you get x = 4.5 from?

latent hedge
#

isnt b²-4ac supposed to equal 0 if its tangent

solid perch
#

that's k.

#

using the discrim should only give you the value of k.

latent hedge
#

oh woops

solid perch
#

you still need to find the point of intersection.

latent hedge
#

😭

solid perch
#

try doing that.

tepid kestrel
#

do you know basic diffrentiation?

latent hedge
#

holy crap im stupid

tepid kestrel
#

wait nvm ill let chiakiwxplain it

latent hedge
solid perch
#

calculus is not necessary for this problem, don't worry.

tepid kestrel
#

Its not just makes it easier

solid perch
#

anyway, substitute k back into x² + 6x + 2k = 0, and then proceed.

hollow ice
#

||or just use -b/2a as the x||

solid perch
#

there's also that, yeah.

solid perch
latent hedge
solid perch
#

now you can find your y.

#

y= 13.5

Can anyone help on how to do part c or like those questions in general

jaunty moat
#

answer for part a is x < 4

#

part b = 3 < x and x < -1/2

neon folio
#

well you probably just intersect the answers from a) and b)

#

right

jaunty moat
neon folio
#

draw a number line

neon folio

#

for a) colour it blue

#

and for b) colour it red

#

and see in which intervals you have both colours

#

thats the answer

jaunty moat
#

Cause like spening 5 mins on a num line for 1 mark is not worth in my opinion

modern thistle
#

could I get help with this?

devout snowBOT
modern thistle
#

I know that prism vol = area of base x height

#

and area = l x w

#

but im not sure how to do this with it slanted?

coarse flume
#

You can think of the trapezoid (the face with sides 2.5, 4 and 25) as the area and 12 as the height

modern thistle
#

I'm sorry I don't understand

#

are you saying it would be 1/2 x (2.5+4)x12 =39? is that right?

vestal surge
#

not 12

#

thats the area of the trapezoid in the q

vestal surge
modern thistle
#

ah so vol = 81.25 x 12

buoyant verge
#

hi

devout snowBOT
buoyant verge
#

Is this proof valid?

Is for a topological space (X,T) where A,B are a subset of X

uncut thicket
buoyant verge
#

it shouldn't

uncut thicket
#

it is

coarse flume
#

Definitely is

buoyant verge
#

have in mind that $\overline{A}$ is the Adherence of A

#

In a topological space

woven radishBOT
#

S0S4 - Feel free to ping

uncut thicket
#

is this complement of set??

buoyant verge
#

nope

coarse flume
#

Ok that makes more sense mb

heavy current
#

closure of a set

buoyant verge
#

Adherence of A in a topology (X,T)

uncut thicket
#

ok sorry this is not what i meant ok nevermind

buoyant verge
#

where A,B are subsets of X

buoyant verge
#

I have rewrited it

heavy current
#

why is that last set the same as cl(A) U cl(B)?

buoyant verge
heavy current
#

you’ve just asserted it without explaining why

heavy current
buoyant verge
#

I know that is from that there

#

that you can distribute it

heavy current
#

mhm!

#

that’s the key step you should show explicitly

#

in fact, I’d recommend changing the style of the proof to double inclusion

#

instead of working with the entire set

buoyant verge
#

Should I say like: Distributing G intersection (A U B) gives you...

heavy current
#

ideally yes

buoyant verge
#

I have never done a double inclusion proofbking

heavy current
#

but it would be super clunky to write that with the entire set

heavy current
#

show that A is a subset of B and B is a subset of A

buoyant verge
#

I'll try my best

#

would you help me through it?

heavy current
#

you can do it c:

#

sure!

#

do you know how to show one set is a subset of another?

buoyant verge
#

Thanks, give me a bit of time and I'll try to came back with something decent

heavy current
brittle inlet
#

Dropping a little hint here: fairly sure the definition of closure I gave you last time should work out here as well

heavy current
buoyant verge
brittle inlet
#

Which should also allow you to train yourself a little with intersections

buoyant verge
#

Let me try it and come back with something consistent 🙂

devout snowBOT
#

@buoyant verge Has your question been resolved?

buoyant verge
#

Would this be valid?

#

I'm sorry Prim for not using your definition😔

#

@heavy current

heavy current
#

in fact, you need another sentence

#

since $(G \cap A) \cup (G \cap B) \neq \emptyset$, either $G \cap A$ or $G \cap B$ is nonempty, hence $x$ is either in $\operatorname{cl}(A)$ or $\operatorname{cl}(B)$ by definition

#

and hence x is in cl(A) U cl(B)

buoyant verge
#

wow

#

well

woven radishBOT
#

higher!

buoyant verge
#

I'm happy I did like 90% of the proof

#

and how do you know when you have to explain more?

#

it is until you get to the basic definitions?

heavy current
#

your idea is right, and I can tell what you're trying to do, but the notation is kinda made up sadcatthumbsup

#

you can't take the union of equations

buoyant verge
heavy current
#

you want to say that $G \cap A \neq \emptyset$ and $G \cap B \neq \emptyset$, hence $(G \cap A) \cup (G \cap B) \neq \emptyset$

woven radishBOT
#

higher!

heavy current
#

and then you can more or less continue as you already did from there

heavy current
buoyant verge
#

It now we be valid?

heavy current
# buoyant verge It now we be valid?

yeah, this looks great to me c:

...with one exception giggle you should replace "which is the definition of cl(A U B)" with "which means x is contained in cl(A U B)" :p

buoyant verge
#

thank you very much 🙂

#

I'll close the channel, you probably see me again in like an hour because I got a hell of large topology exercise sheet xD

#

thanks also to prim

wet berry
#

(im doing the college panda sat math textbook and) i have no idea how they simplified x^3 inside the parenthesis

how did we get (x+1)((x^3 )+1)?

supple knot
#

factor out (x+3) from the previous line

heavy current
#

then it becomes more clear to factor y out MenheraSalute1

wet berry
#

im sorry im still trying to understand how we removed x^3 and the y and got x^3+1😭

heavy current
#

the x^3 wasn't removed at all, wdym? pikathink

wet berry
#

it went inside the parenthesis right

heavy current
#

it didn't really move anywhere, I guess it's more that x + 3 moved out :p

#

if you relabel $x + 3$ as $y$, then $x^3(x + 3) + (x + 3)$ can be written as $x^3y + y$, agreed?

woven radishBOT
#

higher!

wet berry
#

yes

heavy current
#

then now we can factor y out!

#

$x^3y + y = y(x^3 + 1)$

woven radishBOT
#

higher!

wet berry
#

OH

#

😭😭

heavy current
#

convert back by using y = x + 3, and we get the result

wet berry
#

thank you so much

heavy current
#

no problem MenheraSalute1

now use the definition of log y

do you have a definition from your notes?

#

have you ever seen something like this

#

maybe

#

yeah

summer summit
devout snowBOT
# chrome sky The answer is C

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

misty crest
#

so here the base is 10

#

if they don't write it then you can assume it's 10 i guess

#

at least for this class

chrome sky
#

3Log y=x
Log y^3=x
The base of the log is not specified so we assume it is base 10 generally
Solving it will be y^3=10^x
Y=10^x/3

errant hatch
#

how did we get y^3?

chrome sky
misty crest
#

what you did is perfectly reasonable

chrome sky
chrome sky
#

Log a^x=xLog a

misty crest
#

just leave dawg

#

you're not being helpful

#

no one cares that you know how to do it

summer summit
chrome sky
errant hatch
#

still mentally at log y = x/3

misty crest
misty crest
chrome sky
summer summit
chrome sky
summer summit
#

refer to the top two here, these are general log rules

errant hatch
#

log y = log b10 y = x which is = to 10^x = y?

misty crest
#

nono

#

not sure what you're saying actually

chrome sky
#

No 10^x=y

summer summit
#

yes

chrome sky
#

It is 10 raised to the power of x

errant hatch
#

yeah mb

#

forgot the ^

chrome sky
summer summit
#

?

errant hatch
#

so 10^x = y...

#

wait what abt thr x/3

misty crest
#

it isn't 10^x = y

summer summit
#

replace x with x/3

misty crest
#

you have $\log y = \frac{x}{3}$

woven radishBOT
errant hatch
#

maybe i should write it down

summer summit
#

you will have a fraction as your exponent which may seem/look weird at first but is correct.

chrome sky
summer summit
errant hatch
#

about this

#

im just gonna call x y and y x to make it less confusing for me

misty crest
#

mhm

errant hatch
#

if log y = x what happens to the other x

#

from the x/3

misty crest
#

other x?

#

x is just a placeholder

#

log y = anything implies that 10^anything = y

errant hatch
#

for what? whatevers on the pther side?

misty crest
#

yes

#

logs are inverses of exponentials. given some base, they take as input some number and output what exponent you need to raise the base to to get that input

errant hatch
#

am i raising x to the power of x/3?

misty crest
misty crest
#

i can give examples if you'd like

#

log 100 = 2 because i need to raise 10 (which is the base of the log here) to the power of 2 to get 100

errant hatch
misty crest
#

nice

errant hatch
#

ok so what now?

misty crest
#

nothing

#

circle the answer

#

they asked you to find y

#

you did that

#

omg why does this always happen

red hornet

#

please @ me

hollow vine
red hornet
#

yes

summer summit
#

well first of all, maximal vertical separation means both points will have the same x value

red hornet
#

ok

summer summit
#

you can set point $A = (x, x^2-3x)$ and $B = (x, 2x - \frac{x^2}{2})$

woven radishBOT
summer summit
#

so use distance formula on that first

#

and let me know what you get (yes it will be an expression involving x)

red hornet
#

but why do i use x,x^2-3x instead of x^2-3x

summer summit
#

what do you mean?

#

its a point, not an expression

#

some coordinate value on the graph (x, y) where we set y equal to each of the equations you have

red hornet
#

so x is x1 and x^2-3x is x 2?

summer summit
#

no.

#

they correspond to the x values of each

#

distance formula is $d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

i still need the rest of th explanitation

#

<@&286206848099549185>

heady vapor
#

what do you need ?

hard shoal
#

What even is the question

red hornet
#

check the pinned bar

red hornet
#

i need an explanation for part b using distance formula

summer summit
#

did you do what i mentioned?

red hornet
summer summit
#

explanation for which part?

red hornet
#

i used f(x)-g(x) but my teacher wants me to use the distance formula

summer summit
#

yes that's what i told you to do... did you plug in point A and B into the distance formula?

summer summit
# red hornet

that shows exactly what i said. can you elaborate what part are you confused on?

red hornet
hard shoal
red hornet
summer summit
summer summit
hard shoal
red hornet
#

and why do we use (x-x)^2 instead of just plotting x in

#

if that makes sense

summer summit
summer summit
hard shoal
red hornet
#

after using distance formula why do we use axis of symmetry formula?

summer summit
#

when they do -b/2a, it should evaluate to 5/3, not 5/2.

red hornet
#

hmm

summer summit
#

-b/2a is the formula to find the vertex

red hornet
#

ok

summer summit
#

so your professor's final answer is slightly off from what it should be from what i can see

red hornet
#

but why we using axis of symmetry formula

summer summit
#

the vertex of a quadratic is defined as $(\frac{-b}{2a}, f(\frac{-b}{2a}))$

woven radishBOT
summer summit
#

@red hornet do you understand this?

red hornet
#

so a vertex is 2 axis of symmetry?

summer summit
#

no... a vertex is the minimum or maximum of a parabola

red hornet
#

ok makes sense

summer summit
#

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the parabola

#

the axis of symmetry is the equation for a line, whereas the vertex is a singular point on the graph/plane (x, y)

red hornet
#

yes

summer summit
#

yes. so you understand the question then?

fresh imp
#

hi moey how u doing

red hornet
#

good

#

how about you dash

fresh imp
red hornet
#

now this?

red hornet
fresh imp
fresh imp
red hornet
#

ok cya

red hornet
summer summit
#

except x should be 5/3

red hornet
#

ik but i want the reason

#

to why we use distance formula twice

#

im a very logical person

#

@summer summit

summer summit
#

there shouldnt need to be distance formula twice

#

you can just straight up plug it into d = 3x^2 / 2 - 5x

red hornet
#

$3x^2/2-5x$

woven radishBOT
red hornet
#

?

summer summit
#

yes, that is what i said.

red hornet
#

$1.5x^2-3/5x$

woven radishBOT
summer summit
#

?

#

where did you get this from

red hornet
#

thats the answer to 3x^2/2-5x

summer summit
#

huh?

red hornet
#

wait no nvm

#

i thought u can divide 3x^2 with 2

#

im dumb

summer summit
red hornet
#

it doesnt do that here

summer summit
#

that is literally what your professor did.

red hornet
#

i dont see any division

summer summit
#

what do you mean

#

fractions are division

#

although it is wrong, your professor is plugging in 5/2 into d

#

@red hornet is there anything else you don't understand?

red hornet
#

thats it

brazen scarab
#

Could someone teach me how to do number 5 I am lost

brazen scarab
#

x^2+xy+x-y+2=0

#

ok

#

I did that

#

I got y= ((-x-2)(x-1))/x-1 -((4)/x-1)

#

here I am thinking that x=1 is a removable discontinuity

#

but AI told me no

#

and idk why

#

but basically I got y= -x-2 -((4)/x-1)

#

y=-x-2 is my horizontal asymptote and x=1 is my vertical asymptote

winter patrol
#

missing some () in your plain text representation
you should have () around the whole denominators when typing in text
anyway

#

$$y = \frac{(-x-2)(x-1)}{x-1} - \frac{4}{x-1}$$

woven radishBOT
#

ραμOmeganato5

winter patrol
#

y= -x-2
would be an asymptote, however that is a slanted line
would be referred to as an oblique asymtptote, not horizontal

brazen scarab
#

so would the horizontal asymptote be converted to an oblique?

#

when we get a slanted line?

winter patrol
#

wdym converted

brazen scarab
#

like I feel like a horizontal asymptote existed in the equation before

winter patrol
#

it exists or it doesn't
here you don't have a horizontal one

brazen scarab
#

but because of the xy component the asymptote that once was a straightline became slanted

winter patrol
#

there isn't a removeable discontinuity at x=1
because that isn't a restriction in the original equation

#

in the process of manipulating the equation to a form with easier to identify key features,
that was self created

#

actually 1 sec

brazen scarab
#

I did long division

#

and ended with a remainder

winter patrol
#

due to the /(x-1)
in the second term

brazen scarab
winter patrol
#

you'd actually have a vertical asymptote tehre

brazen scarab
#

same thing

#

I just prefer the x-1

winter patrol
#

there was real issue with the work

brazen scarab
#

I don't like dealing with 1-x

#

I am asking why is x=1 not a removable discontinuity .

winter patrol
#

$$y =-x-2 - \frac{4}{x-1}$$

woven radishBOT
#

ραμOmeganato5

winter patrol
#

the equation would simplify down to that

#

no issue cancelling out those (x-1)/(x-1) since that same restriction is still present in the 4/(x-1) term

brazen scarab
#

like because the x-1 is still present in the remainder

#

(4)/x-1

winter patrol
#

x-1 is still present in a denominator

brazen scarab
#

therefore we do not have a discontinuity?

winter patrol
#

indicating a restriction that x can't be 1

#

and (x-1)/(x-1) = 1 when x isn't 1

brazen scarab
#

oh so basically the asymptote already included the discontinuity?

#

or we shouldn't phrase it like that

winter patrol
#

you have a vertical asymptote there, which would make the curve discontinuous there

brazen scarab
#

ok

#

I get it

#

so what is the next step to graphing the equation?

#

should I create an interval?

winter patrol
#

wdym by interval method

brazen scarab
#

my teacher taught us this

winter patrol
#

,rotate

woven radishBOT
winter patrol
#

2nd image yes
first is for something different

brazen scarab
#

its the same concept

#

my teacher taught us to create graphs using it

winter patrol
#

i suppose,
essentially plug in values of x to identify which section your graph is in

brazen scarab
#

yea

#

but Im really confused

winter patrol
#

and also identify other key parts like intercepts if they exist

brazen scarab
#

or sometimes intercepts don't exist

#

and idk what to do

#

cus I don't have another method

winter patrol
#

for the y-int simplify plug in x=0

brazen scarab
#

right..

winter patrol
#

for x-intercepts plug in y=0
and if you can't find a way to factorise or can't be bothered
you can use the quadratic formula

brazen scarab
#

mmmm you right

winter patrol
#

here there won't be any x-intercepts

brazen scarab
#

oh yeah I can set things to y if I get the quadratic formula

winter patrol
#

you can check yourself

#

and then you can also just plug in other x values to get a few other points of the curve

#

to identify which section they lie in

brazen scarab
#

uhhh so I plugged in y= 0 so in my original equation I got x^2+x+2=0

brazen scarab
#

and see if values exist?

winter patrol
#

the values will exist (except at x=1 where your asymptote is)

brazen scarab
#

right

winter patrol
#

plug it into that equation

brazen scarab
#

why not the original?

winter patrol
#

you want the y-coordinate to get your points

#

more efficient

#

rather than having to rearrange for y every time

brazen scarab
#

wait if I am determining my x/y intercept should I always use it from my modified equation?

winter patrol
#

doesn't really matter

brazen scarab
#

does it ever matter?

winter patrol
#

but if you're goal is to get the y-coord where x= something
and you already have an equation of the form
y = ...
then its more efficient to use that

brazen scarab
#

my algebra might be wrong

#

but I got x-intercepts to be (-3,0) and (2,0)

winter patrol
#

algebra is wrong

brazen scarab
#

when I plugged into y=-x-2-((4)/x-1)

#

uhh y= 0

#

I get x+2=(-4)/x-1

#

multiply both sides by x-1

#

I get x^2+x-2

#

add 4 over

#

oh

#

nvm

#

yeah its not factorable

winter patrol
#

should view that as adding 4 to both sides

#

"move" is quite vague and not recommended

brazen scarab
#

mb bad habit

winter patrol
#

are you expected to graph other key details like turning points?

brazen scarab
#

no but I should know what I am doing

#

like I probably need to know symmetry, domain, asymptotes, intercepts to graph

#

I don't need to provide it

winter patrol
#

mmk.
any other issues?

brazen scarab
#

yeah Idk how to graph it

winter patrol
#

did you plug in some values of x into your manipulated equation?

#

x=-3, y = ?
x=-2, y = ?
x=-1, y = ?
x= 0, y = ?
x= 2, y = ?
x= 3, y = ?

brazen scarab
#

so I shouldn't use interval method?

#

oh I remember what I was confused about

#

so I was unsure whether or not -x-2 belonged in the interval

winter patrol
#

interval method you showed is for identifying signs

#

the principle is more or less the same
but you aren't really interested in just the signs

#

but rather which section of the point you obtained and graph will be in

brazen scarab
#

well -x-2 is part of the manipulated equation

winter patrol
#

after you've identified your asymptotes, you should start drawing that on your graph

#

then you'd want to test a few values before/after 1 to identify which section your graph will be in

brazen scarab
winter patrol
#

wdym

#

used to look like this

brazen scarab
#

cus we could get x-1, -x-2, x-1, x-1

winter patrol
#

over complicating

#

did you plug in some values of x into your manipulated equation?
x=-3, y = ?
x=-2, y = ?
x=-1, y = ?
x= 0, y = ?
x= 2, y = ?
x= 3, y = ?

brazen scarab
#

perhaps it is for the best

#

maybe I'll just stick to interval when we have bounces in our curve

#

I don't think conics have bounces

winter patrol
#

technically for what they're asking,
one point on each side of x=1 is sufficient
they more you use more accurate your graph will be / the better it will look

winter patrol
brazen scarab
#

WhAT are you serious... conics can have bounces in the curve?

#

Im actually cooked for my test

#

I didn't learn conics well

winter patrol
#

so as mentioned, just plug in some x values and tell me what you get

brazen scarab
#

(-1,1), (-2,1.33), (-3, 2), (0,2), (2,-8), (3,-7)

winter patrol
#

plot those points on your graph

brazen scarab
#

btw I just need a rough shape

winter patrol
#

and even just one on each side would indicate that your curve will be in the top left and bottom right

brazen scarab
#

oh

#

is that how you can always determine which quadrants the graph will exist in?

winter patrol
#

yes

brazen scarab
#

fire

winter patrol
#

and if they don't care about find the exact turning point
you can just draw something where the ends tend towards those asymptotes

brazen scarab
#

ok

winter patrol
#

and also note that since you determined that there are no x-ints
that part in the top left shouldn't cross the x-axis

brazen scarab
#

yes

#

ok thank you it makes more sense now

i get the numbers but what symbol would the answer have

lunar harbor
#

... does this question even make sense

#

Take $x=-2$ and $y=-0.99$. Then $xy=1.98$, so A, D are out. C literally says $-1>1$, which is obviously bullshit, so that's out. And taking $x=-2$, $y=4$ yields $xy=-8$, so B is also wrong.

solid perch

one way to find out is to draw the two inequalities on a number line, I suppose, for the 'proper' way to do it.

Hello?

#

this is what the explanation shows but i dont understand it

lunar harbor
lament wigeon
#

alright then ill skip it

solid perch
#

ah okay, I see what they're doing.

solid perch
#

basically they want to find out the compound inequality without noticing that the notation that they used means the product of x and y.

valid silo
#

Ok, this question is technically not bullshit

#

{xy : -1 < xy <= 1} is just the set of values xy can take give -1 < xy <= 1, the set {a : a = 2} is just the set {2}

#

They are just giving you two sets, and asking for intersection.

bronze void
#

how do I go about this? I've gotten an answer although im pretty sure my process is quite wrong

bronze void
solid perch
#

there is an alternate interpretation for c).

#

might want to check that.

#

in fact there might be many interpretations for c).

bronze void
#

yea

#

its a bit ambiguous

sand quarry
#

i think you are misinterpreting what 'unique' means here

bronze void
#

decode the string of numbers into letters, which ever is unique lettering is the answer no?

sand quarry
#

No

#

that's not what the question means by unique

solid perch
#

but see, you have alternate interpretations for at least one of them. what does that tell you?

bronze void
#

the one with many interpretations cannot be the answer ?

solid perch
#

oh okay, I kind of misunderstood what OP misunderstood about uniqueness.

solid perch
bronze void
#

so like how 12 can be A B or L

#

but wouldn't that apply to like all 3 cases we have?

solid perch
#

can you find an alternative interpretation for a)?

#

remember, 0s cannot stand alone and cannot be the leading digit of a two-digit sequence as stated in the instructions.

bronze void
#

ah no, since none of the strings are 26 or higher

#

there is only 1 interpretation for a.

solid perch
#

mhm.

bronze void
#

a. 4, 5, 10, 6, 2, 7, 1

#

b. 2, 8, 3, 10, 40, 1

#

huh

solid perch
#

b. 2, 8, 3, 10, 40, 1

solid perch
bronze void
#

i missed it i think

#

yea i missed it when typing over

#

b doesnt work bc 40 is only possible number and there isnt 40 letters in alphabet

#

c. 10, 9, 2, 3, 1, 14

#

all of these are unique

white elk
bronze void
#

how...?

white elk
#

there's a few different groupings

bronze void
#

OH bc u can group it as 10, 9, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4

white elk
#

the first digit would havae to be either a 1 or 2

#

yeah that also works

#

I was thinking 23 personally

bronze void
#

how did u get 23??

white elk
bronze void
#

oh grouping it like that

#

ic

solid perch
#

between the (2, 3) pair and the (1, 4) pair I can see at least four interpretations of c).

#

in fact there might be more, because the (1, 4) pair is preceded by another 1.

white elk
#

there's also 11

#

ye

#

so 6?

tall linden
#

Ah, yes. <ab> and <l> is definitely the same letter sequence.

sand quarry
#

there are six combinations

white elk
#

actually I don't think it matters though

sand quarry
#

but anyway this is besides the point i guess

white elk
#

since it just asks for unique

solid perch
#

mhm. sorry for the wild goose chase.

sand quarry
#

did you catch the goose

white elk
#

lol it's a fun goose chase though

bronze void
#

it is a "group" challenge paper lol

white elk
bronze void
#

oh the questions im doing

#

are from a competition

#

and this part is the group based task

#

and im using it as study material for the actual thing

white elk
#

oh I'm sorry I thought you were making a joke for some reason lol

well I guess I mean wordplay somehow

you all helped out a bunch

don't fret it

yeah

i should be fine with this one but ill check in later

ah yeah these are called gnomons btw

I'm not sure why but it's a fun name lol

but just as an aside, you might not want to jump directly to solutions next time.

#

!nosols is a thing in this server.

devout snowBOT
#

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

bronze void
#

oh so for the inital "skin" for this problem

#

1*\1*1 just makes 1 cube right

#

then 2*2*2 makes 4, 1 cubes

solid perch
#

I think your escapes are not working the way you think it would.

#

also what's 4, 1 cube?

white elk
#

yeah you got it now

bronze void
#

like 4, 1*1*1 cubes

white elk
solid perch
#

are you sure?

violet wind
#

Here take this ×

white elk
#

maybe x for * is less cumbersome

solid perch
#

or am I misinterpreting?

white elk
#

oh wait no I am being dumb

#

yeah it is not 4

#

recount the number of cubes in a 2x2x2

solid perch
bronze void
#

something like this

solid perch
#

but yeah OP, reconsider the 2x2x2 case.

#

better, if you have such cubes on hand, count the number of cubies present.

bronze void
#

the skin would just be the uhh amount of visable cubes

white elk
#

mhm

#

so how many could you see in a 2x2x2?

bronze void
#

4 per side, and 6 sides so 4*6 = 24

white elk
#

I believe it asks for the number of cubes you can see

#

not the square faces

bronze void
#

The skin of ‘Cubik’s cube’ consists of those building blocks which lie in at
least one face of the constructed cube

#

so just one face then

white elk
#

hmmmm

#

well okay how about this

#

how many of the 2x2x2 cubes can you not see

bronze void
#

none

white elk
#

exactly

#

so that means all of them are visible

#

which is how many?

bronze void
#

4*6 = 24

white elk
#

well how many cubes are there in the figure?

slim rose
bronze void
#

??

#

4 cubes per face, and 6 faces

solid perch
#

so you're saying each corner of the 2x2x2 is a different cubie?

bronze void
#

yes

white elk
solid perch
#

very sure?

white elk
#

if you were to count them

slim rose
white elk
#

you have to make sure that you aren't counting the same one twice

solid perch
bronze void
#

Oh

#

right

#

they can share

white elk
solid perch
#

my bad, sorry.

white elk
solid perch
#

also I'm sorry for stepping back in and interrupting, will step back for now.

white elk
#

all good

bronze void
#

so if they share the corners then we get.... (lemme think rq)

white elk
#

not a problem at all

bronze void
#

just 8 no?

slim rose
white elk
#

yes!

slim rose
#

And number this is / is number of figure

white elk
white elk
bronze void
#

well we have 1 unique per face

#

so we have at least 6 to start with

slim rose
#

So g=1xn2x4/n

bronze void
#

we have 1 in the centre that isnt visable

white elk
bronze void
#

and we have 8 remaining cubies, so 2(8) + 6

#

22?

white elk
#

not exactly

white elk
slim rose
white elk
#

there's actually a little simpler way

white elk
slim rose
solid perch
#

I think it's best we let nanojumper help without interruptions unless to add something.

kudos for finding a formula tho

if I may jump back in to offer a general piece of advice though.

so instead of how many cubes we do see, let's look at a simpler question for how many you don't see

then you can rediscover whatever formula you can use for this.

#

because there is a sort of pattern to this that you can glimpse from counting it that way I feel.

I'm just using your message to say that OP should first discount the invisible cubies, then start counting outer faces.
