Don't know how to do it

full forumBOT
vast fossil
#

a and b are the roots of the function

vast fossil
frozen plover
#

Yes

vast fossil
#

But, the thing is, the same would happen around x = b

#

Unless the term (b - x) was squared

#

So, around x = b the function doesn't change its sign

frozen plover
#

Yes so it's not the last ok

vast fossil
#

And, given that x = b is located to the right of x = a (since a < b), we are left with the options A and D

#

The last thing that we need to account for is the leading coefficient of the polynomial

#

Is it positive or negative in this case?

frozen plover
#

Why A and D ?

#

Sorry don't get it

vast fossil
# frozen plover Why A and D ?

The thing that they share in common with our requirements is that the function doesn't change its sign around the second root

frozen plover
#

Ok yes

vast fossil
#

A general tip on determining whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative given a graph would be to look at what happens on the far right part of its graph

#

If it tends to go upper and upper, then it's positive

#

And if it tends to go lower and lower, then it's negative

#

In this case, since the leading coefficient of (a - x)(b - x)^2 is negative (specifically, -1), we have to go with the option A

frozen plover
#

Ah ok I see ty

What's the arithmetic meaning of the numbers: ${0},{1},{0},{1},{1},{1},{0},{0},{0},{6}$ ?

glossy valveBOT
#

Bunnings

onyx glen
#

what was the point of enclosing each one in its own set of braces thonk

tame rune
#

idk. i though thats how bot worked lol

onyx glen
#

also are you sure you meant "arithmetic meaning" as opposed to "arithmetic mean"?

tame rune
#

I dont remember the question properly. it was on a test

onyx glen
#

okay... "arithmetic meaning" is not a phrase typically used in math

#

so

#

do you know in general how to find the arithmetic mean of a set of numbers

tame rune
#

Is that a fancy way of saying find average of these numbers ?

onyx glen
#

yes, "average" is the everyday word for mean

tame rune
#

And that's how i lose numbers on my tests. Those fancy words annoy me.

#

one more thing

#

The locus of points with the same distance from two given distinct point is ? $//$

#

Whats locus of points ?

glossy valveBOT
#

Bunnings

onyx glen
#

the set of all points such that ___

#

where the blank is whatever goes after the word "locus"

#

in your case, the question could be rephrased in a less shitty way as:
"Fix two distinct points A and B. What is the set of all points which are the same distance from A as they are from B?"

undone hemlock
#

my son is x years old. in 5 years time, i will be twice his age and both our ages will be multiples of 10. the sum of our ages will be between 55 and 100. how old am i now?

undone hemlock
#

2(x+5) right?

static bramble
#

Not quite

#

Assuming "your" age is y, we have 2(x+5) = y+5

undone hemlock
#

oh

#

ended up getting 2x+5=y💀

static bramble
#

Technically true but probably not super helpful

undone hemlock
#

yea, im stuck now

static bramble
#

So the ages in 5 years will be, let's use new letters, u and v where:
u = 2v (or v = 2u, whichever you want)
u and v are both multiples of 10
55 <= u + v <= 100

#

The 2nd condition especially should make it very easy to check combinations of u and v

undone hemlock

oh ok

Swapping the bounds for this integral:
$\int_{0}^{3} \int_{x^2}^{9} x^3 e^{y^{3}} dy dx$
$$0 \leq x \leq 3$$
$$x^2 \leq y \leq 9$$
Re-writing gives:
$$0 \leq x \leq 3$$
$$x \leq \sqrt{y} \leq 9$$
Why is implied that you use $\sqrt{y}$ and not $-\sqrt{y}$

if you expand the bracket and so some separations using exponent laws you can create a quadratic of the form $a\cdot 2^{2x}+b\cdot 2^x+c=0$ Ill leave a,b and c for you to determine, however you can then apply the quadratic formula to get values for $2^x$ and then x itself

Any initial guesses? So far im getting NAN so maybe im guessing bad

summer steeple

Kinda not getting anything

shadow fractal
shadow fractal
summer steeple
#

np but now i kinda want to get the value, for 0,0,0,0,0 its pretty close

#

But it could just be that the function is somehow bounded in a way that there is no solution

shadow fractal
#

That seems to be the result I've been getting using wolfram alpha and the online link you suggested with the modified Newton method

summer steeple
#

Well that sucks

#

Huh. I played around with the initial guess and now my program is stuck in the while loop

#

Aaaand nan again

#

Uh i got something

#

(1.6826,-1.1111,1.8285,0.6761,-0.4034)

#

For (w0,w1,w2,x0,x2)

#

With tolerance of 0.001

#

Seems as though this function has extremely bad behavior.. kinda lucky

#

Exact for about 9 digits

shadow fractal
#

Woah

#

Was this from trial and error with different initial guesses?

summer steeple
#

There are probably more solutions but this function is so janky

summer steeple
shadow fractal
#

Perfect!

#

I'll go with that surely

summer steeple
#

But there should be more solutions right?

#

Or is this a problem with a unique solution?

shadow fractal
#

I'm actually not quite sure to be honest

#

I've been asked for just one there wasn't really an inplication that it was a unique one

summer steeple
#

I kinda recognize the identity used

#

Yea should be unique

shadow fractal
#

Perfect we're in business then!

summer steeple
#

But arent the weights just calculated by the zeroes of the legendre polynomial?

reef grotto
#

I am so genuinely confused by what chatgpt is trying to show me here can anyone help clarify?

I don't understand the reason why you would zero index this equation.
a(i, j) = (i - 1) * N + j
^ here

reef grotto
#

a(i, j) = (i - 1) * N + j
This operation calculates the difference between the current row number (i) and the first row. Since we are using 1-indexed row numbers, we subtract 1 from i to make it zero-based. This step helps us determine how many rows come before the current row.

Isn't the current row already attributed for by the current row number? Why do I need to zero index it?

I have this problem
"Ilan and Justin are competing in a math competition. They work independently and each has the same two problems to solve. The two problems take an exponentially distributed amount of time with mean 20 and 30 minutes respectively (or rates 3 and 2 if written in terms of hours). (a) What is the probability Ilan finishes both problems before Justin has completed the first one. (b) What is the expected time until both are done?

i'm not sure how to go about part (b) I'm thinking along the lines of the total time to solve the problem + probabiility Ilan finishes first * time it takes Justin to finish + probability Justin finishes first * time it takes Ilan to finish

bitter orbit
#

Try to figure out the expected value of the maximum of the completion times of each one

#

So ILan's time is

#

$I = I_1 + I_2$

#

And Justin's

#

$J = J_1 + J_2$

To find the CDF of T

We can probably utilize CDfs maybe?

$P(\max(I, J) <t) = P(I \and J < t) $

??

wdym

first u get the area of semicircles and then the rectangle

cuz i did

1/2 radius

#

2.5

torn jolt
#

120 is area of rectangle

golden obsidian
slow wraith
#

you don't have to do that

golden obsidian
#

then i did 2.5 x pi

torn jolt
slow wraith
#

because you know the diameter of the smecircles combined is 10

golden obsidian
torn jolt
slow wraith
#

therefore the length of the rectangle should 22 -10

semi circles

#

are

no

wtf

#

22/7*5^2

where u getting 22/7

that is an approximation

pi(5)^2 is the area of the semicircles combined

fine if u do pi as 3.14*5^2

yeah

golden obsidian
#

yes

torn jolt
#

78.5+120

then simply add the area of the rectangle

how u get 120

That's what I'm saying!

slow wraith
#

so

torn jolt
slow wraith
#

we know that the radius of the semicircles is 5

golden obsidian
#

yes

slow wraith
#

so we found their areas

golden obsidian
#

yes

slow wraith
#

approx 78.5

golden obsidian
#

yes

slow wraith
#

now we need to find the area of the rectangle

golden obsidian
#

but we dont know

#

the legnth

slow wraith
#

imagine combining the semicircles

#

the diameter is 10

amber kindle
#

so you can calcualte it as a circle and a rectangle

#

diameter 10

slow wraith
#

if we remove the semicircles from the rectangle, you would have to subtract 22 -10

golden obsidian
#

how far

#

is the semi circle

amber kindle
golden obsidian
#

the shape

#

includes the

#

rectangle

amber kindle
#

yep yep

slow wraith
#

because each semiricle occupies 5 cm of the total length

amber kindle
#

but there are semicricles on the sides

golden obsidian
#

and semi circle

#

so to do

#

l x h

#

dont u need to

amber kindle
#

yeah you're right

#

the radius is 5

torn jolt
amber kindle
#

yeah

#

^^

slow wraith
#

yeah

golden obsidian
#

dont u need to find this

amber kindle
#

lazer sent a pic

#

scroll up a bit

#

also not from 10

#

the semicircle starts about

torn jolt
golden obsidian
#

?

#

here

amber kindle
#

this

torn jolt
slow wraith
#

lol

golden obsidian
amber kindle
#

no

torn jolt
amber kindle
#

he told u

torn jolt
#

:/

golden obsidian
torn jolt
golden obsidian
#

nah

amber kindle
torn jolt
#

brehhhh

amber kindle
#

its a semicircle, the diameter is 10

#

radius is 5

golden obsidian
#

so how u get this

golden obsidian
amber kindle
#

do you agree the dotted grey lines are the radius as well?

golden obsidian
#

yes

#

wait

#

how

slow wraith
#

because we know that the diameter is 10

golden obsidian
#

oh

slow wraith
#

for both semicircles

golden obsidian
#

so they are 5

slow wraith
#

yeah

golden obsidian
#

so 20-10

#

22*

slow wraith
#

22*

#

yep

golden obsidian
#

12 x 10

#

120

slow wraith
#

correct

amber kindle
#

thats rectangle correct

golden obsidian
#

+78.5?

amber kindle
#

now add those semicircles back

slow wraith
#

yep

amber kindle
#

78.5?

golden obsidian
#

ok thanks

amber kindle
#

pi * 5^2

slow wraith
#

which is 25pi

amber kindle
#

oh you

#

rounded

#

he rounded it

#

its fine

slow wraith
#

yeah

#

now Lazar

#

I rationalised the fraction

golden obsidian
#

bruh sorry for making this long

slow wraith
#

nono

golden obsidian
#

but thanks

slow wraith
#

it's fine

torn jolt

lmaoo

slow wraith
#

oh wow

torn jolt
slow wraith
#

not any of the given ones

#

not good

torn jolt
#

option a it seems

slow wraith
#

so if you multiply the fraction by the conjugate, you get (14-6sqrt5)/-11

torn jolt
#

9/11 and 19/11

slow wraith
#

if I am not wrong

slow wraith
torn jolt
#

but i need the procces

#

i have exam in 2 days

slow wraith
#

oh wow

#

what course?

torn jolt
#

im literally 8th

slow wraith
#

where is this

#

#

india...

slow wraith

Why 0+0i is both purely imaginary and purely real?

vast fossil
#

Cuz real and imaginary parts are both 0

#

Recall:
Purely real <-> Imaginary part is zero
Purely imaginary <-> Real part is zero

#

That makes 0 + 0i identify as both

torn jolt
#

HMMM

#

0 is a very sus no

#

It is neither negative or positive

#

It is both purely imaginary and purely real

#

If it is purely imaginary it shouldnt exist in the real world

#

If its purely real it should exist

#

AAAAAAAA

ocean lark
#

Can you tell me what it means for a number to "exist in the real world"

vast fossil
torn jolt
#

Numbers belonging to R

vast fossil
#

There is a purely imaginary number in the set R

torn jolt
#

Uh

eternal goblet
#

Oh no, not the question of is math invented or discovered

ocean lark
#

mb when you said "exist in the real world" i thought you were getting philosphical, not meaning literally \in \bR LOL

eternal goblet

Numbers are all made up concepts

torn jolt

What?

torn jolt
vast fossil
#

Right

eternal goblet
torn jolt
#

Yes

eternal goblet
#

Where did you learn this?

torn jolt
#

Set theory

#

There was a question of venn diagram

#

Whole number KEK

torn jolt
#

Which involved this

vast fossil
torn jolt
vast fossil

vast fossil
#

Isn't a whole number the same as an integer?

eternal goblet
#

Yes, natural numbers have 0

torn jolt
vast fossil
#

Ofc

torn jolt
eternal goblet
#

Negative is not in whole

vast fossil
#

This is how a proper subset works indeed

eternal goblet
#

???

#

I mean, 0 is both in real and complex

torn jolt
eternal goblet
#

You are confusing it with "0 is not negative nor positive"

vast fossil
#

Wdym?

torn jolt
#

Or is it that boundary i made

#

Between complex and real

vast fossil
#

It's everywhere except naturals sully

eternal goblet
#

Not complex and real

torn jolt
#

Oh yessss imaginary

eternal goblet
#

Complex does contain real

vast fossil
#

What?

#

Ah, I mean in every set that you drew

eternal goblet
#

0 is natural

vast fossil
#

That is controversial

torn jolt
torn jolt
vast fossil
#

Why are reals inside imaginarysully

torn jolt
eternal goblet
torn jolt
#

Should i make lile a border line

#

No entry for reals

vast fossil
#

It is impossible to illustrate with Venn diagram

torn jolt
vast fossil
#

Except you could instead illustrate {0} and {ai, a in R*}

torn jolt
#

Wait

#

I have an idea

vast fossil
#

And say that the union of those two is the set of imaginaries

eternal goblet
#

And then put all the set you have into real numbers

torn jolt
#

Maybe like this

eternal goblet
vast fossil
torn jolt
eternal goblet
#

Between all of them

torn jolt
# torn jolt

Hmm also is it z or c to represent complex no ?

vast fossil
vast fossil
vast fossil
eternal goblet
#

I disagree on the whole number set

#

Though it is up to debate

torn jolt
vast fossil
torn jolt
#

But if i do then i dont include 0 in imaginary

vast fossil
torn jolt
#

Oh hmmm

vast fossil
#

R* means all reals except 0 iirc

torn jolt
#

But in short

#

0 is omnipresent

#

Except in natural numbers

#

Also why dont we compare imaginary nos with each other hmmm?

#

Is it just a rule?

#

Or is there a significance behind it?

vast fossil
#

We would need to know whether i is positive or negative

#

Let's assume i > 0 and see if any contradictions appear

#

i > 0

#

Multiply both sides by i

#

i^2 > 0 (the inequality sign does not change as i is positive)

#

-1 > 0 ?

#

Okay, let's now try i < 0

#

Multiply both sides by i

#

You still get i^2 > 0 (the inequality sign changes because i is negative)

#

So -1 > 0 again

torn jolt
vast fossil
#

You can't compare i with 0 -> You can't compare complex numbers in general

torn jolt
#

I kinda get it

#

As it doesnt matter how many imaginary friends you have

#

At the end

#

I will be alone

#

😃

vast fossil
#

Re(imaginary) = 0 indeed

torn jolt
#

But can imaginary be compared with non imaginary?

vast fossil
#

Still no

torn jolt
#

😦

#

Poor imaginary no

#

Its imaginary after all so meh doesnt matter

In my introductory group theory class the assignment asks: "Draw a figure in the plane that has exactly 7 symmetries." is it not just a heptagon? I'm just confused about what it means "in the plane". Thanks in advance

onyx glen

in the plane means it should be a flat figure and not something three-dimensional or higher

7 unique symmetries

torn jolt
#

symmetries should include rotations in this context, right?

onyx glen
#

if you go with a plain heptagon then it also has reflection symmetries in addition to rotations

#

there is a way to remedy that, namely by adorning the heptagon with some modification that breaks reflection symmetry but keeps the rotational kind

dusk forge

Yep makes sense

Then draw a segment from the circles center to C

#

You have two right triangles

#

,w power of a point

I got root 13

twilit leaf
#

Good

#

Im gonna call the center of the circle O

#

So use the triangle CDO to find CO

fierce roost
#

Angle D is definitely a right angle when you draw in the radius, correct?

twilit leaf
#

Yes

fierce roost
#

Ok

#

mk got 8 for OC

twilit leaf
#

Ok now use triangle COX to find CX

fierce roost
#

Ok got it

#

Thank you

twilit leaf

tired summit
#

So im trying to solve a hill cipher demo for extra credit for this class...

tired summit
#

I know that the solution is a message that is converted to numbers using just the trivial pattern A = 1, B = 2, etc...

#

I know that the encryption key is a 3x3 matrix that starts with the word "CONFIDENTIAL"

eternal goblet
#

hill?

tired summit
#

So I have that A = [[C,O,N],[F,I,D],[E,N,T]] (where each letter is a variable with it's encrypted result), and that B = [[6,9,4],[5,14,20],[9,1,12]]

#
C = 195
O = 153
N = 48
F = 99
I = 78
D = 24
E = 228
N = 191
T = 70
I = 97
A = 103
L = 54
Am = Matrix([[F, I, D],[E, N, T],[I,A,L]])
Bm = Matrix([[6,9,4],[5,14,20],[9,1,12]])
#

The cipher result is given, so that's why I know what CONFIDENTIAL is after encryption

tired summit
eternal goblet
#

it is hill cipher

tired summit
#

In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra. Invented by Lester S. Hill in 1929, it was the first polygraphic cipher in which it was practical (though barely) to operate on more than three symbols at once.
The following discussion assumes an elementary knowledge of matrices.

#

yeah...?

#

I don't get it

eternal goblet
#

and matrix addition

granite finch
#

what is the problem?

tired summit
#

Yeah. So this is what I thought initially

#

that AB = X, so B = A^-1 * X

#

what do I need to add?

eternal goblet
tired summit
eternal goblet
#

i mean

#

if you have a 3x3 * 3x1, you will get a 3x1 vector

#

so encrypt every 3 letters in a column vector

#

if you want to multiply the vector before, you would need 1x3 * 3x3 = 1x3

#

you understand what I mean?

tired summit
#

Yeah, I get that

#

But ...

eternal goblet
#

how to find inverse matrix?

tired summit
#

I'm not sure how legible that is

eternal goblet
#

do you know how to find multiplicative inverse of modular

#

say you have 2x = 1 (mod 3), can you solve this?

granite finch
#

this might help

eternal goblet
tired summit
#

well I can solve it, but not through some formula or process

eternal goblet
#

ah in matlab here is the code

tired summit
#

So where do I apply this?

eternal goblet
#

to every entry of the matrix

#

if you have 6 / 9 (mod n), it is 6 * 9^-1 (mod n)

tired summit
#

So since this is the result

eternal goblet
#

,w 2281^-1 (mod 26)

tired summit
#

I have 676/2281 ... so I turn that into 676 / (2281^-1) % 26?

eternal goblet
#

yeah

#

or at least it seems so

why does it not keep its negative value

the negative should be kept

-8/6 = -4/3

i thought when its - -8/6 it would by kept

if you're negating something twice then the negatives cancel out

Would it be?

fleet briar

and no

i literally said it wouldnt be that

#

how did you get sin(theta)cos(theta)

#

since when does tan^2(theta) = sin(theta)cos(theta)

stiff wagon
fleet briar
#

now

#

to integrate it

#

you can see that

#

you can use integration by inspection

#

because you can see that cos(theta) is the differential of sin(theta)

#

so this is reverse chain rule

stiff wagon
fleet briar
#

you can also use subsitution for this

u = sin(theta)

shouldnt the answer be pi/2?

full forumBOT
quiet stirrup
#

The limits of integration and answer are wrong, but it's not pi/2 either

full forumBOT
#

@outer dust Has your question been resolved?

outer dust
#

no? but is the antiderivatives still arctan(u)?

quiet stirrup
#

The antiderivative of 1/(1+u^2) is arctan(u), yes. Plus a constant but that doesn't matter here.

#

The confusion that made me do a double take is that because the limits of integration are wrong, you wouldn't split this up into two integrals when done correctly, which is probably where you are getting pi/2 but I don't know what you did

outer dust
#

alright thank you

tacit eagle
#

this is my answer at the bottom (correct.)
but how is this answer also correct (1-ln(x^11))/x^12 ?

hallow walrus
#

$log_a{(b^c)} = c\cdot log_a{b}$

glossy valveBOT
#

kheerii

hallow walrus
#

so $11 \ln(x) = \ln{(x^{11})}$

glossy valveBOT
#

kheerii

tacit eagle
#

beautiful

#

thank you kheerii

#

this rule applies

#

to ln too

#

not just log?

hallow walrus
#

ln is just log_e

#

so

tacit eagle
#

theyre both log

#

but log_10 and log_e

#

are different

obtuse condor
#

Yes

hallow walrus
#

yes

tacit eagle
#

so i guess it still applies

hallow walrus
#

but usually in calculus you only ever deal with the natural log

obtuse condor
#

Yep

hallow walrus
#

hence you will see in many places just the notation log(x) with no base as a replacement for ln(x)

obtuse condor
#

logx has a base 10 right

#

It's understod

hallow walrus
#

since log(x) makes more sense regarding complex numbers

obtuse condor
#

Isn't it?

hallow walrus
hallow walrus
#

depends on the context

obtuse condor
hallow walrus
#

but usually it just means ln

teal aurora
#

its so weird before joining this discord i never saw people refer to log_10 as log

#

but apparently its taught a lot

obtuse condor
#

Yes

#

Log 10 is same as log

#

But differs

hallow walrus
#

I don't see the significance of log_10

obtuse condor
#

In some cases

obtuse condor
#

It's self understood

teal aurora
#

maybe its just a country thing

hallow walrus
#

unless you're doing some math regarding number of digits

teal aurora
#

cause was always ln for me

obtuse condor
#

On that case also it's self understood

#

logx=10

#

x= 10^10

#

But it changes then like

#

Logx_2 = 10

#

Where

#

x=100

#

So it depends on context

tacit eagle
#

thanks

@old edge how do add 3?

You can turn this into
m = (101+9-3a)/(3-a) = 101/(3-a) + 3

vast fossil
#

(101 + 9 - 3a)/(3 - a) = 101 + (9 -3a)/(3 - a)

#

Also, don't ping random people

sleek quest
#

they added 3 to the equation

#

not sure if that works

old edge
#

it was (110-3a)/(3-a)

sleek quest
#

where did the +9 come from

old edge
#

and 110 = 101 + 9

sleek quest
#

oh

#

i didnt see it changed to 101

#

ahh sorry

old edge
#

so I said:
(110-3a)/(3-a) = (101 + 9 - 3a)/(3 - a)
= 101/(3-a) + (9-3a)/(3-a)
= 101/(3-a) + 3

sleek quest
#

ah right

#

sorry

#

thanks

dense edge
#

are all 3 of these expressions equal?

nova basin
#

1 and 3 are, 2 is ambiguously parenthesised

grave elm
#

Im not sure about the second one, it could be interpreted as (ln(1+2x))^(x^2)
I assume (1+2x)^x^2 = (1+2x)^(x^2)

dense edge
dusty scaffold
#

it's not clear if it's $\ln((1+2x)^{x^2})$ or $(\ln(1+2x))^{x^2}$

glossy valveBOT
dense edge
#

so I can only bring an exponent to the front of the log if that exponent is **inside ** of the argument?

#

therefor only 1 and 3 are equal

#

and 2 is not equal

dusty scaffold
#

1 and 3 are equal

dense edge
#

interesting..

dusty scaffold
#

for 2 it's ambiguous what it means

dense edge
#

ya, that makes sense. the argument i like a jail cell

dusty scaffold
#

you would need to decide which of the two possibilities it is before it's equal or not equal to anything

dense edge
#

what is this term, "ambiguous", in math?

hot herald
#

unclear, open to interpretation

dusty scaffold
#

i just mean "ambiguous" in the normal way
"unclear"
there are multiple possible ways you could interpret it

grave elm
dense edge
grave elm
dense edge
#

i thought all math was clear haha, with how we write it

hot herald
#

yeh, that's what unclear means

#

well writing it properly, it'll be clear

dense edge
#

even this silly exercise is clear, with order of operations

dusty scaffold
#

well when maths is done properly it's entirely clear
but it is possible to write things in standard notation that parse ambiguously, you just shouldn't

hot herald
#

it really isn't

dense edge
hot herald
#

with sufficient parentheses as needed
