in general, there is no easy way to find determinants
I mean like a property
if you keep row reducing, you can find the rank of the matrix which would help
yeah
So it is zero
yes

I understand the lemma and it makes sense, but I have no clue on how to start proving this. I added the definition used in this book for more context
Consider that there's two parts of the sequence
the infinite terms after K and the finite number of terms before K
You know the terms after K are all bounded by a number. gamma
Can you show that there is a bound on the finite number of terms before K?
Are the terms before K bound by the term xi where i=K?
not necessarily
look at something like 23, 100, 54, 97, pi, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1.16,....
after K=5, they're all bounded by 1, can you find a bound on the first 5 terms?
The first 5 terms would be bound by the max of those 5, so 100?
So can I proof this lemma by saying that the part before i = K, the finite set is bounded by its maximum element. The part after and including i = K is an infinite set but is bounded by some number. This means that the whole sequence is bounded by the max of max(finite set) and the bound of the infinite set?

if i want to find the speed of the function, i would find the integral of the function?
No
You find the differential
The integral of distance gives you nothing useful
woulnt the differential give me velocity?
Remove the i j and k
But yh

Hello. I have this problem here. Trying to find dy/dx of the initial problem (1st line). I need to take d/dx of both sides, and that involves chain rule for the left side here, but I believe I did it wrong, as nothing in terms of dy/dx came from it
honestly, I can't tell what you were getting at with your work there. But the process would be to take the derivative of x of everything. For sin(x) you will got cos(x) . For cos(y) , well first the derivative of cos is -sin, so you will get -sin(y) but then apply the chain rule, multiply by the derivative of y with respect to x (which is dy/dx) and you get -siny dy/dx. Then continue the process on the right hand side of your equation. Derivative of 7x is 7, derivative of -2y is -2 dy/dx
and then solve for dy/dx
Ok. I don't understand how the derivative of -2y is -2 dy/dx. Why is that?
well -2 is a constant so it stays, and then you have to take the derivative of y with respect to x
which is dy/dx
Ok, that makes sense, thank you
no problem
I am still confused on the left though. So I know the chain rule is f'(g(x))g'(x), so I wrote out f(x), g(x), f'(x), & g'(x). So those are incorrect from what I know now
you are incorrectly applying the chain rule
on the left hand side the functions are seperated by addition, so you do their derivatives seperately
first take the derivative of sin(x)
Ah
that does not require chain rule
then take the derivative of cos(y)
this does require chain rule, and you must account for the derivative of the inner function "y"
Hang on. I don't understand then why chain rule applies when taking the derivative of cos(y). Wouldn't it just be -sin(y)?
Well , the reason the chain rule "didn't appear" for sin(x)
is because the inner function was just x
so the chain rule would be multiplication by 1
which we don't need to write out
or do
but when the function is y
and we are taking the derivative with respect to x (not respect to y)
the derivative isn't 1
it is whatever dy/dx is
Gotcha, that makes more sense now
no problem
So what would my f(x) and g(x) be? I usually base those off of what is happening to x
Would I base it around what's happening to y?
there is no need to writing out f(x) and g(x) every time you apply the chain rule, you should get used to what it is actually doing without having to write out every step
but
if it helps you out
f(x) would be cos(y)
and g(x) would be y
so f'(x) would be -sin(y)
and g'(x) would be dy/dx
and that is the only place where it is necessary
for this problem
Gotcha. Why is f(x) the one that is cos(y)? I would think f(x) and g(x) would swap here
Or would that just produce the same result?
I referred to f(x) as the outer function and g(x) as the inner function, I am not sure exactly what notation/method you use to write it down, but I recommend you ease off of using it
chain rule is just when you have a composition of functions, or multiple functions inside of eachother
it is called chain rule because you do a chain of derivatives
derivative of the outer function, times the derivative of the inner function
along the chain for as many as you have
I usually do the opposite. Would those be the same then, if I defined f(x) as y and g(x) as cos(y)?
I'm not sure why you would do that, or really what you are asking
if the notation is confusing you I recommend you stop using it
Can I just give you a few examples quickly?
I'm just asking if my notation is the same as yours in the end. You defined f(x) as cos(y), and g(x) as y. If I were to swap what f(x) and g(x) were defined as, would I get the same answer?
And sure.
I don't think that you would
so
,, f(x)=(\cos{y})^{2}
if we had something like this
AustinU
and you had to take the derivative of it
Sure
we have 3 functions here
the outermost is squaring
middle is cosine
and inner is y
so do the outermost first
2(cos(y))^(2-1)
I haven't dealt with a middle function yet, this will be interesting
which is just 2(cos(y))
and then you move to the next function
so derivative of cos(y) is -sin(y)
2(cos(y))*-sin(y)
then innermost is dy/dx
and then you move to the innermost
yup
and you
get
2(cos(y)) * -sin(y) * dy/dx
See how we did like a chain of derivatives
start from the outside, go to the inside
So you just find the derivatives of all the functions, then multiply them together?
kind of yes, but the order matters
that is what the chain rule is at its core
take the derivative of the outer function, multiply it by the derivative of the inner function
so if you have
f(g(x))
its derivative is f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
Gotcha, let me try and apply that to cos(y) then with respect to x
So forgetting what f(x) and g(x)
The outtermost function is cos(y)
The derivative of which is -sin(y)
Then the innermost function is y, whose derivative is dy/dx
So multiplying those together would get -sin(y) * dy/dx, would that be correct?
I think I will be doing chain rule like that from now on then, that was easier on my brain
Thank you very much for teaching me that
I think I got it from here then, thank you so much again
yah no problem, feel free to DM me if you need more help in the future

Continuing a problem from before, moved here to reference a message
So around here is where I recently learned how to do the chain rule in a different thinking method @simple totem
x+y
so f'(x) = ?
So cos(x+y), gotcha
yes
I made that more complicated in my brain than it needed to be
Ok, I think I got it now. I'll keep moving along with these practice problems and do more practice
Thanks for the help

Reopen
I mean yeah but did you try solving it, which part of it are u stuck on?
Lemme solve n check
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
yea cause it's v^2 so if the value of v is 5, u'd need to take 5^2
Tammy
yup
On your paper, you wrote v^2 in the denominator, but you only did 5, but not 5^2
Well it says as the square of v
yeah, the value of v is given, not v^2, so u'd need to take the square urself
yes
That why
try solving with that and see if u get it
At what?
Oh why'd you remove the k
Wait did u already get it ??
Yeah
Is it 0.57?
In variance firstly you need to get the answer of k and then u can find what the actual question asks
no?
Is what I have there so far correct
not rlly, u're moving straight to R, u need to find k first
move the values around so that you get k on one side and the other values on the other side of the equals mark
Right
try solving and lemme know then
how
remember it's v squared
You keep forgetting, it's v**^2**
Right so 16
yeah
5.25?
okay
alr lemme
Ight bet bet
Not yet still reading
do u understand it?
the time, it's given in hours, u need to convert that to minutes first
540?
yea
Wait
now find k
because we always convert it to minutes
unless the question asks for hours
minutes is like the standard, otherwise just writing 9 wouldnt tell us whether we're talking about hours or minutes so it's just understood to be in minutes
Ans 60?
Ohhhh okay
yeah, now solve for the speed
not .2 of an hour
it says 6.2 hours
convert 6.2 hrs into minutes just like u did last time
So 372?
yeah
40?
Okayy
Ohh okay then
I can send it to u later
To check
I got an answer but

Prove that for $ x > y > 0$, and $x, y, \in R$, $|\frac{1}{x}| + |\frac{1}{y}| \ge \frac{x-y}{xy}$
chromium
multiply by xy and u have $|y|+|x| \ge x-y$
4321
and then u alr know that x and y are positive so idk what the abs value was for in the first place but
so then u can add y and u have $2y \ge 0$
4321
4321
tf
you're not meant to prove
x > y > 0
you're not meant to directly use the proofs statement either
and assume anything there is true
this needs to be proved

yo, what is arctan(-infinity)?
apparently it's pi/2 but how?
so infinity in general is not a number, but you can just think of it as a really really big one, and if you stay large everything works roughly the same, that's the answer
that's a bit poorly worded but I'll explain for this concrete example later
so you want an angle so that opposite over adjacent is really large, because that's what tan is
a diagram
explanation with this example, as long as the right/opposite side is really big, the hypotenuse is basically vertical regardless of how big we go

Which parenthesis can I use in this situation?
□ { [ ( ) ] } □
I want to use parenthesis in '□'
for what equation or question do you want to use parenthesis for?
they showed it
that's the exact "expression" they want to use them in
double round makes sense
or like, bold round?

Show that ln((e^x-1)/(e^x+1)) = 1 if and only if e^2x-2e^x-1 = 0
I don’t know where to start this question i have never come across a question that looks like that
If
[
\ln(\frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1}) = 1
]
Then
[
\frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1} = e
]
Right?
A Lonely Bean
But yes this is true
You could plug that into e^(2x) - 2e^x - 1 = 0 and see if the equation is true
How?
Put (1 + e)/(1 - e) instead of e^x and (1 + e)^2/(1 - e)^2 instead of e^(2x)
Hold on a second Let me do that
Or just solve e^(2x) - 2e^x - 1 = 0
x=ln(1+ square root of 2)
I highly doubt that it's the same as (1 + e)/(1 - e)
1 + sqrt2 isn't the same as (1 + e)/(1 - e)
So the statement is false as long as you've done everything correctly
That's what the statement is saying 
Ight let me try
Ok ok
I got e^x = (1 + e)/(1 - e) as the solution to the first equation as well
Let's now see the second equation
e^(2x) - 2e^x + 1 = 2
e^x = 1 + sqrt2
The solutions don't match up
Nevermind i found the answer
So this statement is false
I found it was true
Because
When you resolve e^2x-2e^x-1=0
You find that x = ln(1+ sqrt 2)
Right
And when in f’(x) you replace x by ln(1+ sqrt 2) it equals 1
Why f'(x)?
Because i have to show that f’(x) = 1
And what's f'(x)?
And f’(x) = (2e^x)/(e^2x-1)
So you just replace x by the solution of the other equation and you find 1
You were sayng ln((e^x + 1)/(e^x - 1)) though
That’s something else i think sorry if i drove you on the wrong path but you helped me find the answer still so thank you
Alright

how do I continue after expanding the (2x - 1/x)^8
What's the question
uuh
expand or factor
Lol
aah
are u aware of binomial expansion?
Sure
In ascending powers of x?
yep
Wait the independent term or the first three terms
mostly these questions have to do with finding out the coefficient of x^t
independent term i think
i had a question on it
and idk how to do
first 3 term is easy
And what would be the power of x if the term is independent of x?
use the properties of the exponent
I think 5th term will be independent of x of the expansion (2x - 1/x)^8
8-2r
?
Yes
yeh
(x+3)(2x^2-1/x)
In this case however, you need to find a term with power of x 0 and -1 assuming they both exist
???????????????
And them up
.
I think I'll let jk handle it, ping me if you need me
Use binomial theorem for this question
okay
then use this to calculate
how tho
i got 1120 for the term independent of x
do i sub it in
1120 times (x+3)?
sounds wrong
wait its (x+3)(2x^2 -1/x)^8
yea
then
Take general term first :
Do you know how to solve 8C4?
Okay
yep
,w C(8, 4)
(x+3)(2x^2 -1)^8/x^8
ye
the question now is
how to sub in the term independent of x into (x+3)
do i just do it directly
(3 + x ) (1120)
3360 + 1120 x
Yes
Yes
Nope
👍 np
thank youuu
I myself haven’t practiced this chp much 💀
omg

Idk how to solve iii
Ok so
l is parallel to the tangent at point P, meaning it has the same slope (gradient)
Since in the previous question you showed that it was 4, l is of the form y = 4x + b
But you also know it intersects the curve at x = -2
but shouldnt I use the tangent at p
For?
the gradient
which is the negative reciprocal of the original gradient of point p
-1/4
That would be perpendicular to the tangent
The gradient almost by definition is already the number m such that y = mx + b is tangent to that point
I'm very foncused
Look
is it asking for the tangent of the curve or the tangent of the gradient of the curve ??
Here is the graph
So the number you found earlier tells you the gradient
Which was 4
And we want the line to be at (1,0)
So it’s y - 0 = 4(x - 1)
ohh ok
If we try at 0 for example, 6(0)^2 + 6(0) - 8 = -8
And the point is 0, 3
So y - 3 = -8(x - 0)
If you don’t use P’s y value, the line is properly angled but not in the right place
The equation “6x^2 + 6x - 8” just tells you the angle it needs to be at that x value
And you have to subtract by the x and y to get it in the right place
Back to the question, the first sentence is “the line l is parallel to the tangent to the curve at point P”. For two lines to be parallel, they have the same gradient, and we know that the tangent line to point P has a gradient of 4 (from 6(1)^2 + 6(1) - 8) so we know that l must also have a gradient of 4
We also know that the curve touches l at x = -2, but at x = -2 the curve has a y value 15, so we can write y - 15 = 4(x + 2)
Here the green line is the tangent at P
And the red line is the one parallel to it
That touches at x = -2
hold up where'd you get 15 from?
Same way you got 3 for x = 0
f(-2) = (2(-2) - 1)(-2 + 3)(-2 - 1)
= (-5)(1)(-3)
= 15
If you know the x value is -2, then you can also know what they y value of the curve will be
And just based on observation, (iv.) will also be true, but you can easily check by just making sure that 6(-2)^2 + 6(-2) - 8 is 4
ahh ok sorry im slow at catching up lol
Np
If you have any questions about any part, feel free to ask
Even if it’s something simple
so equation for l is y=4x+23, correct?
but for iv it's asking to prove that it's the tangent not the gradient
?
Oh
So to check if it’s the tangent
You need two things
- Same gradient
- Same place
oh yeah the tangent is the gradient at a point
But you already made sure it was in the same place at x = -2 because that was what the previous question asked of you
“It touches the curve at x= -2
ahh ok
You can always check again tho
I think what tripped me up is the fact that the gradient for the cubic is a quadratic and not a straight line
and we keep treating it like a line
Yeah
It’s the formula for the gradient of a line
Not the line itself
That’s a good thing to remember
but then shouldnt the gradient at p be a quadratic
otherwise we should have found d2y/dx
oh yeah i meant the equation for it
wait wait never mind I get it now haha
thank you so much for your help I get it now :)
Np :)

If "x^4+mx^2+nx^3+4x+4" is equal to a square number, what is the minumum value of the sum (m+n) ?
I've tried to factor out the polynomial and tried to find some identities like opening of the (x+y)^2, (x+y)^3 or something like that, but the result is nothing but a mess. It gotta be about factoring and identities but I just couldn't see what to do.
So we get m+n= 4k+6k^2 ?
Yup
And minumum value of thatvwould be 2
Now maybe use derivatives to find the lowest value of that function
Would it 
I don't think it needs to be an integer?
But the expression is equal to a square number so if it equals to (x+k)^4, then...
It equals a square number?
Yes
Which means it's a perfect square for all values of x huh
Which means (x + k)^4 won't work

Yeah
And also i dont think were gonna need derivatives
Because its under the topic of factorization
Have you tried assuming a general equation like (x^2 + ax)^2 and then comparing coefficients
,w expand (x^2 + ax)^2
Although this doesn't give us an x term
Yep
,w expand (x^2 + ax + b)^2
NEONPerseus
This seems to be somewhat consistent
m = a^2 + 2b
n = 2a
4 = 2ab
4 = b^2
But this gives us a concrete value for m + n doesn't it 
What did you do
we need the minumum of m+n
Gave b -2 and a will be -1
And that would give us min. value of sum
I was thinking about that but I'm not sure if it's right
Which is why I didn't say it
Actually I think it should be right
Because a quartic as a perfect square should be factorable into two identical quadratics
Yes its right
,w factorize x^4 -2x^3 -3x^2 + 4x + 4
Yup seems good
But how do you manage to equal the expression to (x^2+ax+b)^2
Like they didnt teach us a thing likemthis in this topic
It said that it's a perfect square
If it is a perfect square it should be factorable into two identical factors
And for a quartic that would have to be two quadratics
Since the two quadratics multiplied together would give us a quartic
Yeah right thanks I would keep in mind that👍
Just remember comparing coefficients like this is pretty powerful

Guys i need help here
i need to turn in today...
is it math?
this is stats
also biases are things that impact the scenario but aren't the variables being controled... so if u think about that, u can just read and see what might be some biases
like for example
the first one
the director asked staff near their office
but didn't ask all the people in the company
also near their office during COVID-19 also is excluding those who are working remote, or hybrid and today they weren't in for ork
so that'd be a bias
This is called undercoverage

$ln²(x) - 2ln(x) - 4 =0$
Amer
teacher said it's positive after e³, i try to plug e⁴ for example but i find it negative :/
solve for x?
i plug e⁴ and the answer is negative, it shouldn't
Send your working - mental math gives me 4
(4)² - (4)² - 4 = -4
Civil Service Pigeon
teacher said to always return a.lnx to lnx^a
That would still be ln((e^4)^2)
Which is equal to 8
If you have x*ln(a) you aren’t taking the ln(a) to the power of x but rather the a term to the power of x
I do not, however I think YouTube would have some good videos on it
makes sense
thanks

is there a mistake in this:
because N can be 0, and r can also be 0, right?
and 0^0 is undefined
should I assume it means N > 0?
It would not mean 0/0, for example: plug in r = 0, this would give 0^N+1 - 1 / 0 - 1 which is simply 0. If N = 0, (r-1) is independent of N meaning this would also not result in an undefined term.
@hollow moth Has your question been resolved?
no but you can also plug in N = 0
oh wait
never mind, thank you!

Can someone help me understand why knowing that E(X^4) < inf is useful?
Is it just something that tells us that we can be ensured that E(X^2) is less than inf which is used throughout the task is less than infinity, hence it can be evaluated to a numerical value since its not infinite?
<@&286206848099549185>

What do you mean
huh
what do you mean what do i mean ?
i was just asking if anyone needs help
im willing to help
I asked a question regarding math and you responded with "ok".
Oh I thought you wrote in the wrong channel
i dont have time for peoples bullshit

Just checking my terminology. The function f(x,y,z) = xyz is "odd"?
Well I mean
I thought odd was only defined on funcs of 1 variable
but ig you could define if f(x,y,z)=-f(-x,-y,-z) then f is odd
Like because I have to do $\int_{-1}^{1}\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{x^2+y^2}^{2-x^2-y^2} (xyz)\dd z \dd y \dd x$
Umbraleviathan
you could say its odd when viewed as a function of x etc
Hm
I have to hand solve this integral ://
Shdhdhd
,w expand 1/2 xy (2-x^2 - y^2)^2 - (x^2 - y^2)^2)
HA doesn't make it any better
thats an even function wrt y :p
Yeah no that's way too convulatedfor my course
i guess spherical coordinates wouldnt work here
hmm
The surface is like an funky egg
🥚
Centered evenly around the z axis
Actually it's just bounded by x^2 + y^2 and 2 - x^2 - y^2
So it is an egg of some sort
Sadly I can't see a 4D plot
,w int from y=0 to y=sqrt(1-x^2) of (xy(2-x^2-y^2)^2/2-xy(x^2+y^2)^2/2) dy
With a small ass space
Oh I could
But we're never expected to square a trinomial
In fact that was a guanratee in the course ....
Verbatim
Bruh
Scam
interesting guarantee 
I hate squaring trinomials
its squaring 3 binomials!!!1!!1
NO

u sub for x^2+y^2
Jacobians 💀
huh?
Oh wait
just treat it as a function in y
That's genius
ignore x until you finish the du integral
yeah
Wouldn't the u-bounds be 1 and 1
yes
Wait but
it only becomes zero when we do the dx integral
x^2+sqrt(1-x^2)^2=1

why doesnt the fibbonachi numbers have one of these patterns
what are you doing there
the red lines match the number from the top row to a number on the second row
what "thing"?
let me find it
i suspect method of differences for finding the nth term of a sequence is what youre talking about
that only works if the nth term is a polynomial in n, which fibonacci isnt
whats n
the nth number
is n a variable
yes
long story short fibonacci just isnt the right kind of sequence to apply that technique to

I need help with this, i keep getting the answer -13/20 and apparently it’s wrong, i even tried doing the decimal, by the way it’s pedmas.
thats the right answer though
,w (1/8 * 3/4)/(5/8) - 4/5
why should -13/20 be wrong?
,w -13/20
I did that
Decimal form didn’t work neither
Its like a pixel art
And it should show the rest of the picture
But it didn’t
See look
come on, how should we know which question it was? and can you post the original question, not the screenshot of a calculator?
that was the original question?
The number 6 is the last one i need on that damn page
As you could see.
Have you answered this?
no
it should be wrong because it would show the rest of the among us character if i was right.
But I don’t know
more than one user says -13/20 is right, wolframalpha.com says -13/20 is right. you can not explain in a convincing manner why it should be false.so i do not see a problem which i can help to solve. therefore: ok, i am out.
What ever
I think its right
I turned it in
But can i ask another thing in this comment section
Because i need help with a finding the surface area of triangular prisms
But i have to find the nets triangular prisms surface area.

For the numerator, change 4u + 1 to 4u + 2 - 1
Then split the fraction appropriately
oh wow
how do i practice for these type of fraction problem
i sometimes have trouble knowing how to find them
