@obtuse slate Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
this period looks wrong
try plotting it
i dont think it gives you the right period
just look at it
,w plot cos(3x)
it's stated on the instructions
but it didnt give the frequency so i cant find the period

Best way to derive y-2x/2y-x
I was thinking of using quotient rule, but could it be easier with the product rule?
Idk if this is useful but it's the second derivative ^^
With respect to what variable?
you cant differentiate that as it's not an equation
I guess x
If you assume y is a function of x, which is usually the case, you can take that derivative
d/dx (y - 2x) / (2y - x)
y' = y-2x/2y-x
with the quotient rule I guess?
is it that or is it what you're trying to type?
This isn't the same as what you originally posted
What is your question?
(y-2x)/(2y-x) or y-2x/2y-x?
I'm trying to find the derivative of y' = y-2x/2y-x
I already derived the original equation once
oh ok
Just quotient rule
I see
Yes
since everything is with respect to x
d/dx y = dy/dx = y'
Would this be implicit differentiation
wait no
this is just normal differentiation
I swore you used power rule before, when you saw y it would become 1?
Wait am I losing it
was it always like this?
I see
I might be losing it lol
how does the power rule apply then
does it have to be with respect to the variable that uses the rule
e.g. d/dx x^2 will be 2x
can it work for something like d/dx y^2?
I see
I am losing it indeed
I mean technically you charin rule that too
chain*
@narrow plank How many chain rules would I need for e^x * cosx
None
fr?
d/dx e^x cos x doesn't use chain rule
$\frac{d}{dx} e^x \cos x$
Shen
would it be product?
It'll give you steps n stuff
Oh I never learned the exponent rule

do you how to distribute the negative sign?
No tbh im not the sharpest tool in the shed
Alright so when you have a negative sign to be distributed, you flip the signs inside the bracket
so forexample if you had
a - (b + c)
it'd become a - b - c
or if you had a - (b - c)
oh ok I see
so itd be come - x-6 ?
yes
now add that to the first term
2x + 3 - x - 6
oh ok I get then last thing is if you add a number with a variable to a number without what happens?
can you give an example
7a + 9
oh ok I get thankyou very much

@ivory kayak
What're you stuck on
sorry
Ohk
Here
Don't know ow what to do next?
Do you know partial fraction decomposition
Ik but this question is given in the chapter starting when it's not introduced yet so maybe some other method would be there too to solve this..
What section is it in
I can't even do long division, can't complete the square, no identity is applying which i can think of..
I don't really see any useful substitutions
First exersise
2 question of the first exercise
2 question of the chapter you can say.
You cannot have learned nothing
Like i know, but not according to book
What methods has the book given so far
Just solving by basic factorising the numerator, long division, identities of cubes and squares...
Yeah, not sure what it's looking for of not PFD, sorry
Oh.. its just adding and subtracting 2x² until numerator just becomes 1+x² ...
Anyways... Thanks for helping

If I roll two dice what's the probability of both being six given I know one is a six
this would be 1/6 right?
since the P(D1 = 6) = 6/6
we 100% know the first die is a 6
but the P(D2 = 6) = 1/6
since there is 1 six in it, and the other die goes up to six
since there is one six in a die, and the die goes from one thrugh six
Yes
The sample space is reduced to 1 die rolling a 6
Since P(1st is 6 and 2nd is 6)=1/36 and P(1st is 6) is 1/6
You get 6/36=1/6

If I have 2 matrices, matrix A = for example a 3x4 matrix, and matrix B is a 1x1
lets say B = [5]
If I have A * B, can I just write A * 5?
Question 2: Does x * y = y * x also count for matrices?
Ooh true I forgot, my bad
You can multiply A by a scalar of 5 and write it as 5A though yes
okay
Second question, also no
AB isn't guaranteed to be equal to BA
AB could be valid and BA could be invalid in the same way, too
Okay thanks for answering, so [5] = 5 right?
[5] is a matrix, 5 is just a scalar
Matrices can't just be treated as normal numbers
So [5] =/= 5
Okay thanks a lot!
No problem

Hello guys. Im trying to find limit of 2x^4 / (x^2 - 3) where limit goes to infinity. I understand that the answer is 0, but im trying to understand how is this possible? I devide all elements by highest power element which in this case is x^4 and i get (2x^4 /x^4 ) / (x^2/x^4 - 3/x^4) where we get after clearing stuff 2/(1/x^2 - 3/x^4) which is 2/0 and its undefined??
1/x^2 is 0 when x goes to infinity and 3/x^4 is also 0 so i get 2/0.... Im confused what did i do wrong?
<@&286206848099549185> I appreciate all the work and help you guys are putting into this community.
the answer isn't 0
Yes, it is infinity
also you should be dividing based on the highest power in the denominator
dividing based on the highest power in the denominator not like numerator together?
you might be misrepresenting them
infinite limits of rational functions can be determine by looking at the leading terms of the numerator and denominator without having to do this sort of division
is this correct?
Did you type your question correctly?
Your question follows the rule (2), so why do you believe the result to be 0?
Because one online calculator showed it so i tripped out
which online calc?
trying to find it right now, i checked like 20 to show me steps but each one wants registration
seems like it tripped me out
for case 1), you can consider the ratio of leading coefficients directly
for case 2) you may need to be careful of signs of leading coefficients as that will affect whether you have + or - inf
how do i solve this

So this is more of an applied maths question but I think it’s still relevant asking in the maths server. How do I go about formulating this differential equation( btw the mass of the sphere is 2kg, the spring constant is 50, the natural length is 0.3m and it is at equilibrium when the spring is 0.7 m long, it said all this in a previous part)
So in terms of the direction of forces, the weight and the resistive force have to act in the same direction right?
And then you have the tension from hooke’s law
can you take a better picture?
But how do I express the extension in terms of algebra?
Yeah sure gimme a sec
9bii) is actually fine as that’s just solving a bog standard 2nd order ODE
It’s just the formulation for me which is problematic
As it says ‘show that’
ok so yeah, $\sum F=ma$, where we take everything scalar since it's 1D motion
Mosh
Yep
So is this correct then in terms of the sign of the forces
so $mg-20v-kx=ma$ no?
Mosh
But why is it -20v?
gravity is downward, and if the object moves in +x (downward), then the oil and spring forces act up
Isn’t the object moving up?
It says it’s released at rest from the base of the bucket
So surely it would just move up initially, so initially the resistance will be acting downwards in the same direction as the weight
To oppose the motion
So I don’t really get how it’s +10dx/dt
,calc 10^2-4(1)(25)
Result:
0
so yeah, it never oscillates, so yeah should only go up
oh right
$F_s=-kx$ but you're travelling in $-x$
Mosh
so the negatives cancel
I believe, you might be better off asking this in the physics server lol
I did and they recommended me asking this is the maths server haha so I’m kinda stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Alright I’ll try and figure it out; thanks for the help anyway

I don't know how to solve this at all, I tried the 2nd option in the following way =>
$x = (p + q)/2$
King_ftw
since p + q is sum of roots which is equal to -b/a I thought it might lead me to something
$x = -b/2a$
King_ftw
Substituting this value of x in ax^2 + bx + c and solving further I get this =>
$-(b^2 - 4ac) / 4a$
King_ftw
Now from the question it is known that the discriminant b^2 - 4a is positive (since the roots are real and unequal) so looking at it gives an impression that this above expression as a whole is negative hence the 2nd option is correct ? But I don't think so because according to the question statement a (main coefficient of the quadratic) is negative, so the whole expression will be consequently positive therefore the 2nd option cannot be true. That's what I think.
I don't know where to ever start if i want to check other options.
Oh wait I think I got it nvm.
I was overthinking this xD

Last 2 are correct from what I know
Second option is wrong I think
How do I find out if the first one is correct ?
First one is correct because false can induce true
Sorry misread it
<=0 I thought <0
By the condition x=y=0
Then 4^2=2^4
Hmm wait how do we get that
Sum of two non-negative numbers being non-positive implies that they are both 0
Also since $x^2 <= -y^2$ is only possible if both are 0

For a proof, I want to show that a matrix in the finite field of 3 is diagonalizable even if it has distinct linear eigenvalues
I choose the matrix [2,0,0; 0,2,0; 0,0,1]
so I got the charact pol: (x-2)^2*(x-1)
which I made it to the F3: (x+2)^3
so the eigenvalues are x=1, x=1,x=1 right?
am i correct?
You mean duplicated eigenvalues?
yes sorry not distinct, I mean to show it can be diagonalizable even if its not have distinct linear eigenvalues
am I clear?
but in finite field of 3
You chose a diagonal matrix and tried to diagonalize it?😂
hmm not exactly I want to show that this is false: a matrix in F3 is diagonalizable iff it has n distinct linear eigenvalues
so I came up with this example
This is false
Identity matrix is diagonalizable but it doesn’t have distinct eigenvalues
Don’t really understand what you want to do here
If you want a matrix of order 3 that isn’t diagonalizable in any field I can give you
$\begin{pmatrix}1&0&1\0&1&0\0&0&1\end{pmatrix}$
Cogwheels of the mind
okay so now (x-1)^3 is my characteristic polynomial which in F3 would be => x^3-3x^2+3x-1 => (x+2)^3. Thus x=-2 which in F3 is 1. Thus Identity matrix in F3 has 3 eigenvalues which all are 1. right?
yes there are not distinct eigenvalues but the matrix is diagonalisable so the statement is false
I just not sure if I do it correctly
bcs we never solved polynomials in finite fields like this
It doesn’t make any real difference

From what I understand I need to find dy/dx then input those points to get the slope
I get -5
Then I use point slope form to get the equation
\frac{-4y-8y^2}{-4x+3y^2} is what I get dy/dx equal to
you have the right idea
Am I just making a simple math error somewhere?
<@&286206848099549185> Am still stuck
I would simplify the equation first. You may need implicit but dont quote me on it
Maybe, I got -14 for the slope this time, which doesn't seem right but its new
didn't work
No clue what I'm doing apparently
This question is making me feel thoroughly stupid
no no not at all
whenever you have a y you need to take y'. After you should simplify/factor to get the value of y'
the value of y' should be my slope right?
yes
So I have the concept down, which means I'm just making some math error I'm not spotting

What's the original problem?
First inequality can be rewritten to
$$x + 19 \leq 0$$
Navix
What steps did you do to simplify the first inequality?
$$\frac{x+3}{2} \leq \frac{x-5}{3}$$
Multiply both sides by 2 and 3
$$3(x+3) \leq 2(x-5)$$
Navix

Crap
Well could someone check if I'm plugging these numbers in right
I'm getting a very wrong answer for the right math I think
And idk if thr calculation is error or the answer key

ln(1+x) ~ x
ye but for small here we are going to infinity
(-1)^n/n=x
however x is still going to 0 regardless of the alternating sign 
alternatively you argue that ln(1+(-1)^n/n) is asymptotic to (-1)^n/n
both get you to the same thing

I’ve been stuck on this question for a while now
I somehow don’t get the result and keep getting some other messy term
do yo know $2^{-n}z^n = \left(\frac{z}{?}\right)^n$
riemann
My bad it’s minus 1
looks good otherwise
But either way the subsequent part I tried to take the imaginary part of it so the accidental +1 shouldn’t matter I think
show that part then
Uhhhhh it’s probably riddled with mistakes tho
I mean I’m not proud of it but here it is anyway
Last step especially
Dk what in gods name im doing
Get the imaginary part of this expression (z) instead of plugging in $z = e^{i\pi/14}$ right away
riemann
put terms over a common denominator
Including the one?
You want to get it into the form given, and that has only one fraction
I’ve been stuck on this form, I checked the calculator and it seems correct but I’m not sure how to convert it to cos from here
We need to somehow show
2sin(pi/14) -2^(-13)sin(15pi/14) = 16835cos(3pi/7)/8192
Use sin(x+ pi) = -sin(x)
@hoary kernel Has your question been resolved?
I don't want to invest too much time into a computational problem like this, but you are making it harder for yourself by not noticing that at z = cos(pi/14) + isin(pi/14), you have (z/2)(1-(z/2)^14) = (z/2) - (z/2^15)
by taking the 15th power instead of the 14th you are making the computation a lot harder

Is it just 170% more expensive
When you talk about "Percentage more" you generally only talk about the change.
Ah
So 70%?
Or how do I find the increase change

If you say something is x% more you're already saying the whole original amount is there

hello
hi

hey, this my question:
im stuck on inner/outer bounds for the integral part
im not sure why its wrong since outer is y (x^2) - (-4)
and inner should de smallest distance, so y^2 (x) - (-4)
thats the only part wrong
i checked desmos too, so i cant see why it would be wrong
The bounds of integration are the zeros of the first equation minus the second.
Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius a...
i did washer method
should be like this
<@&286206848099549185>
the only way its wrong which it is is if my R(y) and r(y) are wrong
then try to recalculate them
i did. greates one then add 4 for outer
since x= -4
so radius is added 4 to both
as for the functions
Y^2 is the shortes length (checked desmos) so its outer function

How do I get the z and point it towards the s with the political of c in formal of the y?
<@&286206848099549185>
i somehow immediately thought of group theory
I think it was a joke
In any case, the answer is that you obviously consider the Party isomorphism of the political of C, then embed that into the Kneut-transformed isometricized informality metric of the formal of y. Then solving this simple electorial we get z. Pointing it to s is left as an exercise to the reader. Hint: It will involve the College-Vote System of Metrics.

I know how to find asymptotes and intercepts through f(x), how would I apple it to this problem?
Apply
@quick meadow Has your question been resolved?
@quick meadow Has your question been resolved?
ok
so there are 2 vertical asymptotes so you know the denominator is (x+2)(x-2)
then the graph also tends to 1 at both ends so you know that the top must have a quadratic on the top as well and since it tends to 1 the coefficient of x^2 on the top will be 1
It also crosses the origin so you know there is no constant term on the numerator
then you are given 1 point (-1,1) so you can plug that in and you should be able to find an answer

A function has a max/min at some x = a, when f'(a) = 0
Tbh. Idek how to apply that
x = 0 is a minimum. Therefore f'(0) = 0
No it isn't. You instead used the fact that f(0) = -6
The fact that f'(0) = 0 is unrelated
You applied f(0) = 6 perfectly, this is just the same thing except with f' as the function
If f’(0)=0
Then what term does that represent
Oh
Its the c value
Wait wat
C value is left in the equation
But how do I know that c = 0

how do I find this out?
The way to get the biggest product from addition variables is by dividing the sum by the parts
wdym dividing the sum by the parts?
do u have an example
Like the value of 10 is split evenly between the variables
Take like x + y = 6
We can try many different combonations
2 + 4
2*4=8
But the biggest value we get is when x = 3 and y=3
So using this theory we can solve the problem
@bronze peak alright
but can we do a = 5, m = 3, c = 2
you would get 30
can u get bigger than that?
There is nothing in the problem that says A M and C dont equal eachother
So maybe try that
oh ok
then 3x3x4
is the biggest
36
36 + 12 + 12 +9
so is it 69....?

Time to return to a help channel with this Oblique Collisions question for some tasksheet that I'm doing at the moment. Colossally stuck on trying to calculate the speed of B after the initial collision.
I get that they only have horizontal velocity and no vertical velocity. I get that impulse of B will be calculated as 2m(v-2u) as 2m is the mass and 2u is the initial velocity of it. But what I don't get, it how to get from the beginning to the end.
I've done about a page of workings on paper and so far all the calculations seem...just wrong. I'm not getting anywhere with this. I've found pointless distances, an angle which I thought was going to come in handy but so far, nothing I've done has brought me closer to the answer.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help, if not, walk me through how to do this question. I've done purely vertical, purely horizontal collisions in lesson but this is basically brand new as it's so different.

Please? Anyone? I'm near the point of begging
Try a physics server?
Is there a physics server out there with help channels?
Despite this being a maths question too, just mechanics based
I've been in the physics server and it's not laid out the same as here
@blissful elk ig along tangent joining the circles velocities remain the same and along normal vel(separation)/vel(approach) = coeff of restitution
What do you mean by that?
Like, in terms of the question. Would you be saying Sep/app = 1/6
But we know that the speed of approach is 3u so...Sep/3u = 1/6?
nope take components
yeah sep/app = 1/6
so u get an angle of 37 if i'm not wrong as per the q
Now this is where my main question comes in....
Both of the objects in the question only have horizontal components...so how would I deal with that?
see on collision they rebound not head-on so they'll not travel in the same line
i'm sorry can't give a diagram..
I can kind of see that they will bounce off and move in different directions, like for A they will move "upwards" at an angle while B will move "down" at an angle
yupp
so there'll be an initial component along the 'bounce-off' line n one perpendicular to it (along their geometrical tangent)
So the end thing is I need to take the line if centres as basically the diagonal as they are colliding?
Riiigghhhtt...Lemme see what I can make of this
the components along their lines give sep/app =1/6
yupp give it a shot
So I'm getting somewhere I think. I've got the perpendicular and parallel components of A and B I think.
Sounds like a plan, but I'm not the most confident with my answers so
lol u got company dw
I think and hope that I have a final answer for the impulse
i got 63/25 mu 🤞
That's not what I got....hmmmm
wait what did u get
My final impulse was 6.6mNs
but shouldn't it be in terms of m n u?
Or 6.6mu
oh ok
Hmmmm
waitt
What did you get as the speed of approach for the spheres?
My perpendicular velocities were
A - 4u/5
B - 8u/5
Ahhhh...
I think I got my perpendicular and parallel the wrong way around
Because that's what I got for the parallel velocities
wait i'll come back..
This is a really bad drawing of what my line of centres was with A and B
yupp correct ig
Using this as the line of centres, what will do we get for the perpendicular and parallel components?
This is my a m a z i n g paint skills on show for a diagram
lol
Question, for the speed of separation. Did you add the unknowns or take them away?
First try I did addition
see u get 2 eq if i'm not wrong
one using coeff of rest
n one using linear momentum conservation
so i solved simultaneously
so approach will be usin(phi)+2ucos(theta) as per ur diagram
So approach would be 3u/5 + 6u/5. Then apply them to the conservation of momentum?
So the approach speed would be... 21u/5?
as approach is relative velocity
*uses
So what do you get as the speed of approach?
9u/5
but conservation of momentum they'll be in opp directions
like 1 -ve 1 +ve as per ur conventions
My calcs are:
A - (3u/5 * 3m)
B - (-6u/5 * 2m)
This is probably wrong
Set that equal to 3v + 2w
Yeah
then wrong
cuz again they in opp directions in conservation
so rigorously u cd do using vectors
but in the restitution part we just directly adding magnitudes as we can predict that they'll be in opp directions
so relative to each other their magnitudes add up
So..should the calculation be something like
A - B = 3v - 2w or something?
If I go with that then I end up with -3u/5 = 3v - 2w
or do it at full length using a coordinate system n vectors to avoid errors
yeah i got something like that i guess my signs just opp
so see if u can get someone with a confident answer
mine was 63mu/25
hopefully this is correct
ok so i took u3 as the v for 3m (perp)
n analogously u2
so (u3+u2)/(3u/5+3*2u/5) = 1/6
How come your speed of approach is 9u/5 and yet mine is -3u/5
n for momentum conservation 3m(3u/5)-2m(6u/5) = -3mu_3+2mu_2
they are coming towards each other
so their approach speed is high
magnitude
Yeah but with that first equation you end up with 9mu/5 - 12mu/5
see i'm doing with the convention of A->B direction +ve
That's the same as what I'm doing
yeah this is correct
yeah correct ryt
So that's one of the simultaneous equations, right?
then solve simult eq with the restitution
yeah
just wolfram it for now see if it works
So the speed of approach is -3mu/5 (Unless you cancel the masses)
We know that e is 1/6. And the speed of separation is v+w?
no approach speed is 9u/5
How?
cuz they coming towards each other
so their mags add up
basically 3u/5 - (-6u/5) if u go by the relative vel definition
So are you only taking the speeds of them, not involving the momentum?
I think that's what I'm missing
yeah cuz that's the use of the coeff
yes this
ok uh bro i'll prolly have to go

I don't know how to solve this
Like does expression mean equation or do I have to give the solution?
equation, an example is V = x^3
they’re asking for the expression that V=
Yeah that’s not the answer
I was giving an example
just found out what that v thing meant
What you want to do is subtract the volume of the cube by the volume of a cone as the cone appears to be hollow
And you’ve already solved the expression for the cube’s volume
So all is left is find the expression for the volume of the cone

I am once again asking for your help... I honestly don't understand very well what they are asking for, I don't know where to start
Let Ui ~ iid uniform(0,1), i=1,...,n, define the random variables (see image) with 𝛼 >0 and 𝛽>0.
a) find the function of density of W1 and
b) determine (see second image)
@hallow dune Has your question been resolved?
I don't really do this, but I assume the idea is that you can generate a random variable from sampling a uniform random variable by doing an integral transform
So W_i is generated by a F^(-1)(U) and invert the function to get back to an F then differentiate to get back to the underlying pdf, but that's a pretty high level sketch so you'd need to check the details carefully
See: http://www.columbia.edu/~ks20/4404-Sigman/4404-Notes-ITM.pdf for example

c is a constant
Try distributing the terms?
and then use linearity of expectation or something
How do you subtract a constant from a set?
X_i and X_j are random variables
Ah mb. I see now.
my argumentation would have been, since for a function g applies, if X__i and X_j are independet
is this true
that would have to be right, wouldn't it?
the statement even applies also to
I do not know why generic functions need to come in
When the original question involved only basic addition and multiplication
i'll try this, give me a second 🙂
okay, so if I just use linearity of the expected value and properties of the expected value I obviously get the same result
But I could also argue about the statement with functions or?
@surreal pulsar Has your question been resolved?
It is true, but the crux of it is the property that if X_i and X_j are independent, then their joint distribution f(x,y) = f(x)f(y), so that the double integral splits. You are sort of trying to invoke the law of the unconscious statistician, on g(x) = x-c which gets you part of the way there, but that isn't the most critical property here.
