hey
In the expansion of [1 + x² – x³ + x⁴]¹⁰, the sum of all coefficients of powers that are multiples of 3 is
a) 114. b) 228. c) 342. d) 456. e) 570.

I already know the answer but is there an easier way than doing it brute force?
not really because carries
oh right!
Hayley always so good at spotting patterns
apart from the issue with using variables to represent different things,
carrying doesn't prevent that from working
my bad, lemme change
6(1000x+y)=(1000y+x)
a__>__2 then the thing get's ruined
wait a minute
let's count a and b as separate digits first
6(10a+b)=10b+a
59a=4b
nvm
I suck at math

You misplaced the y and x
what if like y * 6>1000?
(editing is so much fun!)
since y is three digits
so like over 166 then it can't work, right?
oh wait
it still works
🤦♂️
that's a good spot out
that's the reason why we can write that out
like that
because when x is > 166, the term will become 7 digits
oh y3ah
doesn't stop you from setting up that equation, you can put additional restrictions of x,y being 3 digit integers
Oh my god
I overthink everything
I really shouldn't brute force things
thanks ya'll
prime factorisation would be helpful in identifying such integer solutions
if there's a restriction then youonly have tof ind the number that fits the bill

shouldnt h be -ve?
looks like you're doing a change of variables, h = x + 3, so x = h - 3
x = h - 3, so |x| = |h - 3|
umm not sure ill figure it out later thanks anyway
h is approaching to 0 from negative side
like -0.000000.......1
h is small positive number
so it must be substracted from -3 to reach its lhl right?
forget it
so h is obv negative but too small

There are 30 problems in a mathematics competition. The scores of each problem are allocated in the following ways: 5 marks will be given for a correct answer, 0 marks will be given for a blank answer or a wrong answer. Find the minimum number of candidate(s) to ensure that 6 candidates will have the same scores in the competition.
is it 5*30+6-1?
@mortal sigil Has your question been resolved?
No, first of all there are 5 * 31 possible scores
and then use pigeonhole principle
Try out edge cases where everyone has scores as different as possible
so 5*30+6-1?
No, but 5 * 31 + 6 - 1 also wouldn't be correct
with bad luck there could be 5 * 31 * 5 people all divided into groups of 5 with exactly the same scores
so
is it
156
@mortal sigil Has your question been resolved?
I think we need probabilities to be able to solve this question.
The probability of scores can be done by the number of ways that someone can solve the test to get a certifician score.
The order of the questions doesn't affect the probability
We can take that number of ways and devid it by the total number of ways to solve the question
The question can be solved true or wrong(or kept blank)
Which gives us 2³⁰ ways to solve the exam
Since we will use combination to solve this question we know the the highest probability that could occur is to solve 15 question out of 30
So the probability will be
15C30 / 2³⁰
$$\frac{\binom{30}{15}}{2^{30}}$$
Sherif Player
So this will give us approximately
$14.45%$
Sherif Player
So from 100 people there are 14.45 people who will solve 15 question in the exam which is the highest probability in the test
So to ensure that 6 people will be able to score the same score we will divide
6 / 14.45% and approximate this to the nearest integer
Which will give us 42 people needed to make at least 6 participates get the same score
All right ? @mortal sigil
uh
it seems to be pigeonhole principle
imagine a hole
there needs to be at least 6 for each one
so what's max
before 6
5
in each hole
however it's also a trick question, cuz there's also one without hole
I mean
Umm I don't think I understand this
there needs to be at least 5
yk what I already understand but it's not statistics dependent
thanks anyways

how do i expand $\sum_{n=k}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n-k!}$
bearcw
$\sum_{n=0}^\y \f1{n!} = e$ is a well-known equality
hayley!
and if you start writing out terms of $\sum_{n=k}^\y \f1{(n-k)!}$ you'll see that they match what you hav
hayley!
in this if i give n=1 then "k" is also 1 then the series become 1 + 1 + 1 + ..
or am i wrong
?
then what is the point of "=" sign under summation ?
it tells you the starting point
oh
just like in $\sum_{n=0}^\y \f1{n!}$ it tells you that $n$ starts at 0 and goes up to $\y$
hayley!

✅
i am doing an old quesiton so this is the question
47x=11mod249
so here i did this
x=k+(14k+11)/47
what should I do next? i have put some random values of k but couldn't get
Just try solving 14k + 11 = 0 mod 47
i got it
I am sure finding the inverse of 14 mod 47 is must easier than finding the inverse of 47 mod 249
it works for 16
but it takes time
i got it 16 more easy way
let me show you
the kast term was 14k+11/47
14x=-11mod47
7x=18m47
x=47k+18/7
x=6k+(5k+18)/7
so here i got 16 easily
wow i solved this question two types
u there bean?

I’ve been looking into the integral of the function x^x, or e^(xln(x)). It can’t be represented by any elementary functions, so I was looking at the expanded form of the MacLaurin series I got from Wolfram Alpha to see how much of the pattern of the series I can deduce.
The series is just the integration of the e^x MacLaurin series, but with xln(x) substituted in.
So, I’ve been able to figure out that every term contains x^(n+1)/(n+1)^(n+1). It’s also obviously still being divided by n!.
This gives me the exact constant divisor for even inputs, but there’s something strange going on with odd inputs. The divisors are being multiplied by a series of constants that follows no obvious pattern. I have the first several that I’ve found shown below:
- n=1 » 1
- n=3 » 2
- n=5 » 24
- n=7 » 16
- n=9 » 640
- n=11 » 20,736
- n=13 » 7,168
- n=15 » 2,048
- n=17 » 23,887,872
- n=19 » 8,192,000
So, I have no idea what kind of pattern these multipliers are following. The only thing I’ve noticed is that they all seem to be extremely composite. The fact that they aren’t constantly increasing or decreasing and seem to almost jump about randomly and at extreme intervals is a bit disturbing. I would love for anyone to shed some light on where these are coming from and how they would be represented in a summation.
@austere breach Has your question been resolved?
Nothing
The closest thing is that the first 4 terms are also the first 4 in the expansion of (1-x)^(-1/x)/e
try it with the even ones in there as well
Ooh ok so that’s interesting
It’s the GCD of (n-1)! and n^n
But it has more terms than there are shown I think. I need to look at this more
So it’s this series but every other term gets thrown out and changed to 1

4 • -5 = -20
@torn jolt Has your question been resolved?
Is it just me or there is a typo. 11(20) is not factor of ac=4(5)=20
Basically what it is saying is; a =4, b=8, and c=-5 Multiply ac=4(-5) =-20 and find all factors of -20
-20 = -1(20) or 1(-20) and -20 = 2(-10) or -2(10) and so on
Now you add the factors to match the middle term +8. The only factor that matches the middle term is -2(10) because -2+10 = 8
what about this step
So now you want to rewrite: 4x^2 +8x -5 = 4x^2 +10x -2x -5 Now you want to group
yes the group step is confusing
how it change from the format 4x^2 +8x -5 = 4x^2 +10x -2x -5 to the new format () ()
You are correct. You have to factor out 2x+5. Let me group. (4x^2 +10x) -(2x +5) now you factor out 2x and you get 2x(2x+5)-1(2x+5) Notice 2x+5 can be factor out.
Let 2x+5 be Y. then you have 2x(2x+5)-1(2x+5) = 2xY-1Y It is more easier to see that you can factor out Y. Now you get Y(2x-1) = (2x+5)(2x-1)
Is that make sense?
yes, I have last question
sure
$6x^{2} - 13x -5$
Chocolate
if multiply it should equal -30, and if added it should be -13 right?
correct
is it -15 and +2?
correct
thank you sir
You are more than welcome!
6x^{2} - 15x + 2x -5

Hello, i want some help with a problem i came up with, the set up is in the picture below. There are 2 questions i have about this,
Inside a collection of K objects:
1)what's the least amount of types of orderly techniques can you use to create any orderly techniques?
2) Can you create ALL shuffle techniques out of just orderly techniques? What's the least amount of types do you need to reach all shuffle techniques?
I first converted the problem into a matrix thingy
After that, i tried to create a T3 with T2 and T4 shuffles and got this
Then i tried to make a T4 with T2 and T5,
I saw a pattern so i tried to make a T5 with just T2 and T6,
So i got this formula from that
Though i don't know if this is true for all n
I don't know how to prove it
Can somebody help me?
There is a way to select two generators for all n, but I am not sure whether it’s fair not to reveal it to you. Generally it’s either proven or given as a hint in textbooks
People in these channels don’t like giving direct answers , but I feel it’s somehow necessary to give it here, and let you prove it yourself. Because most textbooks directly give this:
Hint: consider ||(1->2,2->3,…,n-1->n, n->1|| and ||1->2, 2->1, anything else remains||
But i already thought of that, and i got that formula, or are you saying the hint's about something else?
You need two “shuffle techniques” to generate all “shuffle techniques” right
That's what i'm trying to prove, yes
I thought you wanted to create all of them using only (12…n)
So you need to prove any shuffle is product of (12…n) and (12)
I think i'm confused about your notations, what do you mean by (12...n)?
1->2,2->3,…,n-1->n, n->1
Oh
And yes
Do i need induction?
Induction might not work here. Do you know that { (i,j) (switching only i and j) : i doesn’t equal j } generate all shuffle?
So you need a shuffler that shuffles all objects? It doesn't matter where the objects end up?
I mean any shuffle is product (composition) of shuffles of the form (i,j)
Where (i,j) means the shuffle that only switch i and j, and doesn’t change any other elements
But that only shuffles 2 elements
Product of them
Oh i think i get what you mean
Like you do (12) first, then do (23) later, in the end 1->3, 2->1, 3->2
Ok, but what i'm asking is can you use only two types of shuffle techs
Yes. But do you know that, for now, this is true
Yes
Okay
Now I use (23)(12) to denote the composition of these two shuffles, (doing (12) first , doing (23) later)
And as a result, {(i,i+1): i from 1 to n-1} generate al shuffles
Ok, yes that seems to be true
So now the question becomes
Proving that (i,i+1) can be written as composition of (12…n) and (12)
If you show this, then the proof is complete
Ok i'll think about this for a sec
Okay
Ok i get it now, so if i prove that any shuffle techniques of the form (i,i+1) can be made from (12..n) and (12), i can just chain those to get all the orderly techniques
Right?
Yeah
So how do i go about proving this?
Oh yeah
So you use (12…n) to “rotate” i,i+1 to be on positions 1,2
Switching 1 and 2 then becomes switching i and i+1
Then “rotate” back
Why'd you tell me the solution? The rotation part already gave me the answer i needed
Oh my bad
That’s answer of both I think
First it answered the second, any shuffle of n elements can be generated by (12…n) and (12). And what you called orderly something, (12…m) for m<=n, are also shuffles
Shuffling m elements is also a shuffle of n elements, m<=n
Where n-m elements are mapped to themselves
Any shuffle of n elements can be generated by (12…n),(12), so any shuffle of m elements ,m<=n, (viewed as a shuffle of n elements ) can also be generated by (12,…,n),(12)
Great
Thanks a ton

alr whatd i get wrong
Your vertical asymptote is at -6
SHEIT
Also, as x approaches -infinity, y approaches infinity
As your values of y become greater as x moves to the left
You made the same mistake again
As x approaches infinity, y approaches negative infinity
like this?
this is end behavior right
i should look up khan academy
Y approaches positive infinity as x approaches negative infinity
And the domain is (-6, infinity)
It is decreasing on its domain
besides that am i all set
I think so.

i think all options are wrong
x = 0 would result in the identity matrix
which has a determinant of 1

why is it saying do not distribute?
it just says simplify
is it wrong if you distribute the denominator?
i really wanna distribute and write it as my final answer
but its saying do not distribute
why?..
you can do whatever you want
but i just want to know why it's written do not distribute
is it just teacher saying
i am the god
just follow my rules
yeah, kinda

Why is 1. (a) not
Positive, positive, neg, neg ?
Ans:
you got your concavity backwards i think
Above x-axis = pos
Below x-axis = neg
?
...oh ok no i see the issue
you're listing the values of f itself and not f'', the second derivative, as the problem asks.
Oh this is not f'' ?
look at concavity!

hey friends. this isnt exactly homework but i'm just wondering how you would calculate the sine or cosine of an angle without a calculator
like if i wanted to know sin(48) (degrees) how could i do this?
Sometimes there are some nice formulas that you can use to calculate it
Sometimes there isn't going to be
yea i have unit circle memorized
oh really?
well that's good news. you said there's some formulas that might be handy?
No
no derivation comes to mind. i'd have no idea where to start approximating
I said sometimes those formulas work, sometimes they don't really help you. Your case, they don't really help
U might be asking for this?
For example sin(75)
Can be further broken down into sin(45 + 30)
like what if i wanted sin(pi/52)
ah this is really interesting
It doesn't matter
Sin(48) is irrational and doesn't have a nice closed form
Whether in degrees or radians
but lets say i wanted just a few degits
Ye u might be looking for this
You can do Taylor series of sin(x) and calculate up to like idk
Second or third order
If you wanted to approximate

I tried this rubbish but it did not work
well of course it didn't work -- you didn't plug the thing in correctly
why's the denominator 1/x - 1 ?
do I not do the function thing there?
it's x - 1 not f(x) - 1 ...
but if I had f(x), then f(1/x). I would replace everything with x
but if I had f(x), then f(1/x)
bad notation + definitely not wht you meant...
look, this is simple
f(x) = 1/x
therefore $\frac{f(x) - 1}{x - 1} = \frac{\frac{1}{x} - 1}{x - 1}$. there's no $f$ in the denominator so you don't touch it. understand?
Ann
@fervent lava
just trying to solve it
do you understand what i'm saying here, yes or no?
yes
great
I only replace where it says f(
do you see how to proceed with simplifying $\frac{\frac1x - 1}{x - 1}$?
Ann
I tried making the top x into x^-1, but don't know what to do next
possible but not very helpful.
try multiplying the outer fraction's num and denom by x instead.
do you mean to factorise it?
no
i mean exactly what i said.
go from $\frac{\frac{1}{x} - 1}{x - 1}$ to $\frac{x(\frac{1}{x} - 1)}{x(x-1)}$.
Ann
$1-1x/x^2-1x$
Timsaay
bad!
do it on paper if you do not know LaTeX.
also don't expand x(x-1), it won't help.
oh okay
I take the minus out and cancel them
what I don't understand is why it does not work if i bring x to denominator

Hii
I need to write the truth tables for this
I already understand how the truth tables work, but idk how it works with this
P = True or P = False
simple
p is true, so p -> p is true and (p -> p) -> p is true
p is false, so p -> p is true and (p -> p) -> p is false
Right
what is the "og"?
"and"
for which one of these can we set biimplication arrows and which ones only implication arrows
my own guess would be that for 1, 2, 3, 4 we can set biimplication arrows
and for x = -1 V x = 5, we can send implication arrows:
x => -1 v x => 5
are you sure with the biimplication between 1 and 2?
I think they are misunderstanding the question. Ehd, x => -1 doesn't make any sense
x isn't a statement and neither is -1
The implications and biimplications you should be looking for are between equations
lol
oh
i dont see why not
not 100% sure what you mean
Does the solution x=-1 satisfy equation 1?
Do you understand what => means?
yeah it means that P implies Q
And P and Q are "..."?
Now explain to me exactly what x-2 is stating
idk why x-2 = 3 isnt a statement
okay
As I've said earlier the arrows are between equations
Take equation 1 and 2 for example
(x-2)^2 and 3^2 are not statements either
Yep
Mhm
Not inside of the statement, for sure
Well uh no that's misleading statements can have arrows inside of them just not this one
So let's take equation 1 and 2
Which are both statements
What kind of implication is there between the 2? Is it just an implication? A biimplication?
what implication there is between equation 1 and 2?
none
since you are squaring the second one
There seems to be a misunderstanding
Here's a clearer question, is this statement true:
x-2=3 => (x-2)^2=3^2
i dont actually fully understand what implies means in the case of equations.
Think of it this way:
eq A => eq B means that any solution to eq A is also a solution to eq B
No arrow?
Yes but are all solutions to x-2=3 also solutions to (x-2)^2=3^2
You still haven't actually figured out if it even goes one way
all solutions from x-2=3 are solutions to (x-2)^2=3^2
but not all solutiosn to (x-2)^2=3^2 are for x-2=3
aha
There's a good reason this stuff is teached
but there is a biimplication between 2 and 3 then
If between all your equations there were biimplications then you know all the solutions you get at the end are correct
and same goes for 3 and 4
last line here is just a solution
4 to 5 has no biimplication or even implication, right?
But if what you get is a mix of biimplications and implications between an equation and the one that comes just before it then you know all the solutions to your first equation are there but you don't know if all the solutions you get are solutions to your first equation
Is what makes you say that that statement 5 does not look like your typical equation?
well its just a solution
i dont see why 4 to 5 should have arrows
i guess solutions are the same?
It's also a statement about x
that it can be -1 and 5
What they all have in common is that they're all statements about x
So all of them can potentially have implication or biimplication arrows between themselves
all of line 5 is 1 statement right? not two ?
Does statement 4 imply statement 5 and vice versa?
Yes
well, yes, kinda
If A is a statement and B is a statement then A or B is a statement
"kinda"?
This isn't the continuum hypothesis
Either 4 implies 5 or it doesn't and vice versa
im not 100% sure
What are all the values of x that satisfy statement 4?
x=-1 and x=5
so the ones in statement 5
Yep, they have the exact same solutions
so its a double arrow
Yep
If x is a solution to statement 4 then it is a solution to statement 5 and vice versa
So there's a biimplication between them
So we have:
1 => 2 <=> 3 <=> 4 <=> 5
Which means 1 => 5
It's => not -> but yeah
Yes
If you get <= you know something went wrong
Think of it this way:
=> sometimes adds solutions (this is where the x=-1 came from here)
<=> keeps all the solutions
<= sometimes removes solutions
gonna save this in my notes
Correction: I guess <= is fine but you might miss solutions
in the one i just posted, there is <=> for all
becasue x = 5 is the only solution, even to the last one
right?
I was gonna say 2 to 3 is an implication because of the squaring but that's not the case here
right
Typically squaring adds solutions because (-x)^2=x^2 but if the thing being squared has to be 0 then it's fine
(-0)^2=0^2 isn't an issue since -0=0
So yes
<=> everywhere
=> sometimes adds solutions
This is why you always have to check that the solutions you got are all valid

Linear algebra question:
Prove that the following system in the unknowns x_i and the real coefficients ai,bi,ci,di has a non trivial solution using an argument about linear independence in R^3.
a1x1 + b1x2 + c1x3 + d1x4 = 0
a2x1 + b2x2 + c2x3 + d2x4 = 0
a3x1+b3x2+c3x3+d3x4 = 0
I genuinly have no idea how to go about this. Since in the system AX = B with A the coefficient matrix. Then since B is the zero vector it is definitly an element of the column space and so there exists a solution X so that AX = B. Idk how to show that that X is not the zero vector tho
consider this system as the equation $x_1 \bd{a} + x_2 \bd{b} + x_3 \bd{c} + x_4 \bd{d} = \bd{0}$, where $\bd{a} = (a_1, a_2, a_3)$ and likewise for the other letters
Ann
Im honestly not sure how to continue, my brain is a bit overwhelmed rn.
I get that i should check for linear independance of a,b,c and d but idk how
is there a reason why you are doing math in a bad brain state
bcs exam friday haha
Yeah haha, uni doesnt gaf sadly enough
they are vectors in R^3 and there's 4 of them
oh
That makes alot of sense haha
Slightly related question, given a set of vectors (like here a,b,c,d), is there an algorithm to check if they are linearly independant
yes it's called gaussian elimination
Ahh okey i thought that too but it doesnt work here, im guessing because a,b,c and d are unspecified?
you don't need any computational algorithm here
Yeah sure but imagine i applied the usual algorithm, we need coordinates for that right?
yes

For finding the area between two cruves,
I'm sort of confused by how you select the upper and lower curve or the right or left
Yeah
Especially for when I need to do this for the y axis.
I'm also confused about setting the bounds for the definite integral.
this comes with practice
just do examples and review a solution to make sure you did it correctly
post problems here and we can walk you through it if you do not understand
@barren iris Has your question been resolved?
I'll post an example
I think I did the second page wrong. But I'm fine with going over the first page first.
At least for the bounds, I was told to set the equations equal to eachother to see where they intersect. Does that sound right so far?
For the last part shouldn't it be f^-1(y)?
I'm assuming you're looking at page 2?
Yes
y=f(x) so for y integral x=f^-1(y)
Both

I tried to get the x value of the x axis
by finding the midpoint of a and c
but cant i also use the x value of b
.x
Only if A and C have the same Y value, which they don't in this case
What do you mean
Well if A and C have different Y values, the line between them isn't horizontal
So the line between O and B won't be vertical
Well the midpoint can still be found, but it won't be vertical to B
it seems so
Have you drawn it?
I'm not sure it is, note that C is at (4,-1) not (4,1)

The definition of an injective function is : {x1, x2} element of A, f(x1) = f(x2) implies that x1 = x2.
My teacher say that x^2 in an injective fct BUT if
x1 = -1 and x2 = 1
=>
f(x1) = 1 and f(x2) = 1
=>
f(x1)=f(x2) BUT x1 ≠ x2 so x^2 inst a injective fct ?
what's the question?
look
f(x) = x^2 is not injective using that definition, which looks right
unless perhaps the domain was restricted?
yes but check the internet they say x^2 is injectiv
can you show me a place that says that?
yes, they did
but on my note x^2 say that x^2 is injectiv so my note are false ?
f(x) = x^2 for all x >= 0 is injective
[f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R, \hspace{1cm} x \mapsto x^2] is not injective, that's correct, and most people don't say that, see https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1919990 for example.
We could make it injective if we restrict the domain to $[0; \infty]$, for example.
yeah that's false
If we restrict the domain to R^+, yes
and if we dont restrick the domain, i can already say that x^2 is a surjective
You don't say "R^+ to R^+" when talking about the domain
that sounds wrong
surjective means the domain is the same as the codomain, right?
image is the same as the codomain
image?
range/image, yes
If we have a function [f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb R] for example, then $\mathbb R$ is the codomain. It's a set containing the image.
If the codomain is the same as the image, then the function is surjective
(So the function takes on all of the elements in the codomain)
Sounds right, yeah.

Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
Though can you specify what you mean with "all the elements in R"? Do you mean them as a set?
Or do you mean them as single elements
single like -1 ; 2 ; 12 ; sqrt4
For the pre-image, you need a set though
I guess you could create sets with only single elements
.reopen
✅
What you said should be correct, then.
The pre-image of a set $M$ is defined as [f^{-1}(M) = {x \in A \mid f(x) \in M},] for $f(x)$ to be in $M$, it needs to take on that single value.
i mean x^2 is surjective coz the element 1 in the arrived set have 2 image in the starter set wich are -1 and 1
i m not sure i understand the question
Yes, all elements in the codomain need to get mapped to by atleast one element from the domain for the function to be surjective, that's correct.
I was talking about your pre-image definition of surjectivity, which should also be fine.
and injective in the inverse all elements in the codomain need to get mapped to 0 or 1 element from the domain
okayyy
Yes
At maximum 1 element from the domain

Is this right?
No?
what is wrong?
how so?
how is the amp. not 3? isn't it max-min/2?
The amplitude is 3 indeed
thank you.
Ok but still the period
But yeah you gotta find the period
how do I find the period?
You know what a period is right
yes.
So you look at a convenient start and end for one period
And then you look how long it is
Look at the lowest and highest points in terms of x you have
Does it make a period
no.
How
the function doesn't repeat at the lowest and highest points, if that's what you're asking.
No a period is like when it has the same curve over and over again
right.
Yes, i understand the graph repeats.. but how do we find the period?
Alternatively you could just look at the distance between the peaks
We're only given 5 points.
Look at the blue part
But there aren't any values in the peaks.
Good
Ah I thought that desmos graph was yours nvm
-0.642 and 0.142 right?
Close but not quite
The period ends after 0.142
If not it doesn’t make the whole curvy thing
The tip of the blue part is on the biggest x you have for a point
The one that starts the blue part and the one that ends the blue part on this
but that isn't a full period?
It is
isn't it trough to trough?
Wdym
like peak to peak.
It can start anywhere as long as you finish at a point that begins an other curve like the one you just made
0.142 isn’t far enough
It doesn’t make the whole curve
You’ll be missing the part under y=0
is this not a repetition?
-0.642 isn’t the first circle you made
