someone please help im really stuck
do you know what ratios are?
no
it's just the fraction of two numbers
or division of one number to the other
a:b means $\frac{a}{b}$
riemann (eric tao for honorable)
don't forget to simplify
wait so i ÷ both numbers by what?
a is 200 and b is 120
correct
plug that into the fraction
200 over 120
right
.
ah
so it would be 2 over 3?
how'd you get that?
simplify
explain your process
you said that already
riemann (eric tao for honorable)
7.5? it would be if i simplifly more
simplest form means both top and bottom are integers
bro im sorry im so confused
7.5 is not an integer
25 and 15 have one factor in common
,calc 200/120
Result:
1.6666666666667
,calc 5/3
Result:
1.6666666666667

Hum how can I solve that
👋 trying to get x on one side if reading correctly
That's the difficult part x)
I thought about transforming the sin(x/3) in a cos (x/3 -pi/2)
But I'm not sure about this expression
Well if your trying to get x on one side have you thought about dividing everything by cos(x/3)?
Keep the x in you would get 1<=tan(x/3) then do tan^-1(1)<=x/3 times out by 3 and hey presto x on its own with a number on the left
Ok thx I got it
Should leave you with a solution of (3pi)/4

how do I write Q(P)= 1000 - 40 P as P(Q) ?
That’s it your p function is in terms of Q
so I solved for P(Q) correctly?

Let A={1,2,3 ... 10}
X={f:A->A / f is bijective}
Let R a relation in X defined by: fRg if it exists n in A / f(n)=1 and g(n)=1
Let ld:A->A / ld(n)=n
and Y={f in X:f({1,2,3}) c {1,2,3,4,5} and f R ld}
@atomic solar Has your question been resolved?
@atomic solar Has your question been resolved?
@atomic solar so let me understand
A is {1, ..., 10} and X is the set of all permutations of A
X is the set with f function, f is bijective and its domain and image is A
yes, that's what a permutation is
ok
and R basically says two functions are related if they map the same element to 1
and then id is the identity permutation, which maps everything to itself
ok now Y is the set of all functions which map {1, 2, 3} inside {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, and are related to id; in other words map 1 to 1
@atomic solar is this all making sense?
oh wait
I havent thought of it like the identity
your right
yes I think I understand up to that
cool
and so they ask for the cardinality of Y
in other words, how many such functions are there
so right now you're working with {1, 2, 3} mapping inside {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, except 1 must map to 1
so your freedom is restricted; you're finding functions which map {2, 3} inside {2, 3, 4, 5}
right
so for 2, there are 4 choices, and then for 3 there are 3 choices (since one choice was taken)
so the number of total possibilities is 4 * 3 = 12
12+1 is necessary bc of the 1?
the 1 doesn't matter though; 1 is forced to map to 1 in all cases
k, ty then
np

Nah
The only time you can cancel things in a fraction is when you have something multiplied by both sides
This isn't solveable unless you're also given that f^-1(2x)/f^-1(x) is constant for all x

Hey, how do i find the area of a parallelogram by using vectors? i have the given coordinates:
w8w8
u asked for parallelogram
so its not half
cross product gives exactly the parallelogram
oh, i thought it only gave half of it
you have misthought 


im just tryna get by
as i always
more math?
yay
Thats dot product
ok language barrier
LOL
Is there an echo in here?
its more or less exactly the same as using 2 lengths and the angle between to get the area of triangle
but *2 for parallelogram
lol
Meh depends on the definition
Some say its a vector
Some say its just the magnitude
XD
moral highground

so how wrong is this now
That is some sussy notation tbh
isnt cross product x1y2+x2y1
It looks scarily like you took the idea of dot product. Applied it to cross product and then just said that it was equal to the sin(v) instead
Actually I don't know tbh
Let me think about it
our teacher told us that the cross product is just multiplying across and can be written like i have
Gimme uno secondo I'm just trying to work it out
yeah no thats
sqrt((y2 - y1/2)^2 + (x2 - x1/2)^2) * sqrt(x1^2 + y1^2) should give the parallelogram
completely not right
It might be able to be simplified
A lot
,w simplify sqrt((y_2 - y_1/2)^2 + (x_2 - x_1/2)^2) * sqrt(x_1^2 + y_1^2)
Shut hp
,w norm of (a, b, 0) cross (c, d, 0)


looks pretty simple to me 
Determinant in 2 dimensions is just ad - bc
Idk how I got my long ass thing
But im pretty sure I'm right
,w 11 - 32
I feel like you just disrespected yourself so badly
Dont worry sometimes when I'm not thinking I type 2^2 on my calculator
i was deadassbout to say this
cos i check notes from a mate
and he said u can just use that
Yes it's right
where is the rom 
Idk I'm not a computer scientist

Hey guys, what am I doing wrong here?
,calc 150/25
Result:
6
taken at face value, apparently nothing. are you getting any error messages when trying to submit this?
maybe it wants you to simplify the thing?
I did the word problem correctly?!
simplify 1.5/2 into 3/4 maybe ?
Holy shit I did
ok so like. there's a big difference between
"Am I doing something wrong here?"
and
"What am I doing wrong here?"
the latter implies that you think, or have been told that, there is indeed something wrong.
and people might get weirded out when that's not the case, and go look for minor details and may not even find any.
Yeah I thought I definitely did something wrong
if you thought you definitely did something wrong but have no concrete thing to point at that you think you did wrong, that's called second-guessing.
and so you should say "I'm second-guessing myself on this problem" or something similar to communicate this fact.
Okay I will
I am second guessing myself
@stoic saddle any idea?
Am I doing something wrong here ?
<@&286206848099549185>
Like I don't know whether or not to write
425 * 31t
S(t) = C(t) * D(t) is correct
Or 400 * 30t(25 + t)
however then writing 425 * 31t is fairly blatantly wrong
C(t) = 400 + 30t and D(t) = 25 + t, so C(t) * D(t) = (400+30t)(25+t)
if you wish to simplify it, you can, but it does not appear strictly necessary
Ahhhh
one must not overcomplicate things

Help
You literally put $x+/Delta x$ in the boxes. Don't over think it.
The Mask of Eternity
Bro I don’t know how I’m going insane to much words
You're good, just take it slow. The function is $f(x)=7x^2-9x$
The Mask of Eternity
To get $f(x+\Delta x)$ wherever there was an x before, you replace it with $x+\Delta x$
The Mask of Eternity
I sound so dumb but I tried that and got it wrong
Nope. So what is $7x^2$ when you replace the $x$ with $(x+\Delta x)?$
The Mask of Eternity
It would be $7(x+\Delta x)^2$ right?
The Mask of Eternity
And similarly, if you replace the $x$ in $9x$ with $x+\Delta x$ you get $9(x+\Delta x)$.
The Mask of Eternity
So $f(x+\Delta x) = 7(x+\Delta x)^2 -9(x+\Delta x)$
The Mask of Eternity
Holy bro to think I was good at math at a point
It's just substituting terms. Just takes practice.
How will I add the triangle to the problem
Can you take a screenshot of more of the screen?
There should be an option for Greek Letters. You're going to have to learn them. The "triangle thing" is a capital Delta.
You saying that it says it's wrong?
No was just asking it was right
Oh yeah. Submit that bad boy.
Now I need to simplify
So do you know how to \textbf{Foil} the term $(x+\Delta x)^2$?
The Mask of Eternity
Not really
Okay. Just a heads up. Calculus is going to be really hard for you if you don't remember your Algebra.
I haven’t done math for 3 years forgot it all
$(x+\Delta x)^2=(x+\Delta x)(x+\Delta x)=x^2+x\Delta x+x\Delta x + \Delta x^2=x^2+2x\Delta x+\Delta x^2$
The Mask of Eternity
So
$7(x+\Delta x)^2 = 7(x^2+2x\Delta x + \Delta x^2)=7x^2+14x\Delta x+7\Delta x^2$
The Mask of Eternity
and $9(x+\Delta x) = 9x+9x\Delta x$
The Mask of Eternity
You’re very smart
Subtracting them we get,
$7x^2+14x\Delta x+7\Delta x^2 - ( 9x+9x\Delta x)$
The Mask of Eternity
distribute the minus sign into the parenthesis in the second half.
$7x^2+14x\Delta x+7\Delta x^2 - 9x-9x\Delta x$
The Mask of Eternity
And combine like terms
dude what two numbers add to 3 but multply to -20
$f(x+\Delta x)=7x^2+5x\Delta x+7\Delta x^2 - 9x$
The Mask of Eternity
For this problem the 9x came out wrong
Show me
It's $9x\Delta x$
The Mask of Eternity
I do man
After this semester I’m not gonna need math classes so ima be free from this
Gtg good luck man.

I'm totally blanking, how do you find the range of a function again? My professor drew a graph for this but I want to do it algebraically
Consider the possible outputs that a square root function can give
The range is just the outputs
3 - 4x can be any real number with the right x, so the range of √(3 - 4x) is gonna be the same as the range of √x
oooo

Why?
by definition
a^x and log_a(x) are inverses by definition
If f and g are inverses, then f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x
a^(log_a(x)) = x and log_a(a^x) = x

Imagine a typical deck of cards with an additional 2 suit(s) say: horseshoes and stars. Each new suit still has
the normal 13 denominations as the original suits. Your new expanded deck then has 78 total cards and a
total of 6 suits.
If 5 cards are randomly selected without replacement from your deck of 78 card deck. Find the probabilities of
the following
c. 3 Kings and 2 ♢s
Hey, this message comes out a bit terse, but I'm just trying to establish a baseline of where we should start
Can you find the probability if it was just 3 kings in 5 draws?
Can you find the probability if it was just 2 diamonds in 5 draws?
Are you able to find the probability of 2 independent events both occurring, given the probabilities of those independent events?
@glossy swallow Has your question been resolved?
yes
for kings
(6C3x72*66)/78C5x2!
i think
@glossy swallow Has your question been resolved?
you just sum the cases and its done
Did you solve the problem or do you still need help?
i sort of just went to do other ones
i havent done it yet
I would proceed via casework based on how many of the Kings are ♢s.
for this question do you find the case of one of the 3 kings you select are diamonds and then the case where the three kings arent diamonds
is that all?
There are two cases:
- 0 Kings are ♢s
- 1 King is a ♢
you cant have 2 kings of diamond can you?
Yep.
ok let me see if i can figure out these
case for no kings being diamonds
is
(5C3x13C2)/(78C5)
?

how do you solve the second part?
Draw a triangle
You know we’re in the third quadrant so sin and cos are negative
Like this and you know the sides
okay but then how do I sub in the values?
cause i need the angle a and b individually right?
in this case you dont
so i don't use the formula sinacosb+cosasinb?
on this triangle
okay so sin(a+b) is 3/5?
nah
think of what tan(a+b) represents here
ok cool
and tan(a+b) = 3/4
so we can write the opposite side of that triangle as 3x, and the adjacent side of that triangle as 4x
now, think of what sin(a+b) represents
opp/h
so whats the hypotenuse
now find sin(x) from this
oh so -3/5?
Yeah

Given positive integer x, is there a way to approximate the number of times digit 2 appears in integers from 1 to x?
Or if not (or it's not that easy), is there a way to prove that for all x such that x has more than 6 digits (and no zeros following) the number of times digit 2 appears from 1 to x is strictly greater than to other digits (0, 1, ..., 9)?
no I mean
like
Theres probably a way
I mean using python, yeah! 😄
What is the full problem that you are trying to solve?
generally, I'm given x and I need to find the digit which appears most times in integers from 1 to x
if few digits appear equal number of times then I need to take the greatest one
and I have a conjecture that for all x with more than 6 digits, 2 appears most times (idk why yet but am trying to prove it)
x can have up to 10^6 digits
in general
I mean from 0 - 9 there is one 2
From 10 - 99 there is 2 * 10 + 2* 9 = 19 2's
Bu also every other digit appears the same amount
Except 0

why is the green part d(sin(theta))?
It's not the green area, just the height of the triangle
the y-coordinate of a point on a unit circle is equal to the sine of the central angle theta
so d(sin(theta)) is a small change in the y-coordinate corresponding to a small change in theta
I don;t get this part
That's basically just the definition of sin

✅
ye and they both have a right angle
so this is the explanation?
for similar triangles?
of why these 2 are similar
yeah
you know what similar triangles are defined as?
if you have two of the same angles
wait
so now you have theta and a 90 angle
but we were not given theta before that
ya but theta can be anything u want
if its 30 degrees, then the other triangle's theta is also 30 degrees
it's set as theta, a variable, because it's meant to convey that the angle can be anything

how
ok so u like use khan acadamy
To graph it, first graph f and g and just highlight the area between enclosed by them
To find the area, you just need to evaluate the integral of |f - g| from x1 to x2 where x1 and x2 are the points where f = g (x2 > x1)
but wont that only give stuff above the x axis
not that part 😭
oh nvm then
idk why i thought it would be only above x

"Every odd integer can be written in the form 2m+1, for some integer m"
I wrote: Odd(x) → ∀n ∈ Z, x = 2n ± 1
It says "for some", not "for all"
if I write like this, Odd(x) → ∃n ∈ Z, x = 2n ± 1
it's right?
yeah
you could clarify that $(\forall x\in\mathbb{Z})\text{Odd}(x) \implies \exists n \in \mathbb{Z} : x = 2n+1$
maximo
also the statement is for “2n+1”, not necessarily plus or minus

How can I definitely state something with just one direct proof. E.g a number is even when the modulus = 0 (no remainder). So I go to direct proof of 2 / 2 = 0. Now at what point can I conclude that this proof holds?
That's for one example
a proof generally does it generically
like "Let x be an even number. Then x = 2k for some integer k" then you work out to show that your proof holds for x
Even so, how this in general is considered proofed just by one direct proof.
Is there a threshold or like a general acceptance to how many types of proofs need to be done for a definitive proof?
well if you prove it for one generic element then it proves it for all numbers.
For your example, you're trying to show that a even number modulo 2 equals 0 right?
for example
I guess so - it depends on your definitions, right? I mean if the definitions are correct and they don't change only the input does then its safe to assume (after one proof) that output will always be constant following definitions.
yeah that's kind of the idea
we can prove all day and night that 2 is even, 4 is even, 6 is even
but it'll be easier to prove that a generic even number's remainder will be 0 when divided by 2 right
so let's walk through a proof
yep
we want to show that if x is even, then $ x \equiv ( 0 mod 2)$
So we start off with defining x
so Let x = 2k for some integer k
sorry I guess the bot is broken
let me try something
$ test $
darn lol
okay give me one second, I'm going to write it up and screenshot it
I got latex running its ok
lol okay
so we have x ≡ (0 mod 2). We're trying to prove that if x is an even number then this congruency holds
This is the same thing as saying 2 | (0 - x) or 0 - x = 2j for some integer j.
If x is an even number, then let x = 2k for some k in the integers.
So then we have 0 - 2(2k) = 2j ==> (0 - 4k) = 2j ==> 2(0 - 2k) = 2j .
In other words it's still even no matter what we put in for k
so this shows that it will be even
Yep, clear got it thanks 🙂
np
any other questions?
fwiw direct proofs are just by practice. Find things you know to be true and try to prove them. Like showing that f(x) = 2x + 3 is injective (one to one)
practice makes perfect 🙂
I might drop my solution for a problem later here associated with this. Want me to tag you? 🙂
I'm about to head out for a bit. But if you post it and I"m around I'll look out for your name :)_

I'm going to ask whether the following 4 algebraic expressions are rational or irrational.
those look rational to me!
yes
TheUnknown
Had a hard time making the damn equation 😂
Is that rational or irrational?
in the denominator, what's that radical covering
x
use \sqrt{}
TheUnknown
is any info given about x?
Nope
have you tried determining whether that could be expressed in the form
polynomial/(another polynomial)
Yes, its polynomial / another polynomial. ie.. P(x)/Q(x)
what's your p(x) and q(x)
The values aka solutions?
The chapter is about polynomials. The question is State whether each of the following expressions is a rational expression or not
I know
I don't get what you mean there
what did you mean by
Yes, its polynomial / another polynomial. ie.. P(x)/Q(x)
what's your definition of polynomial
¯_(ツ)_/¯
because those aren't polynomials
Lets forget the polynomial part. Are those rational expressions or not?
...
you can't forget about something that's crucial to determining whether something is a rational expression
That doesn't seem crucial, does it?
it does ...
Alr wait
the definition of rational expression involves polynomials,
hence you'd need to know what polynomials are to determine if something is a rational expression
How about this, is that rational or not? : $\frac{{x^2}+6x+9}{{x^2}-9}$
TheUnknown
identify whether the numerator and denominator are polynomials
and/or whether manipulation can be performed to get a fraction of two polynomials
Yes, the numerator and denominator are polynomials.
I don't think manipulation can be performed.
well if they're already polynomials, no additional work is required and you can say for certain that it's rational
(by definition of a rational expression/function)
Uhmm I see
So the first one can be said is irrational as its not polynomial. Right?
well you'd want to be more rigorous
Lets not go into the edge cases. Keep it simple. It says so in the book that its irrational.
just because you don't start with a fraction of two polynomials doesn't necessarily mean the expression isn't rational
considering edge cases and being rigorous is important
consider a simpler example with numbers
It doesn't ask for a definitive answer that holds true in all cases. Also considering its low grade math for education
I know
my point is, just because you see
nonpoly/nonpoly doesn't mean you should blindly jump to the conclusion of irrational
Ofcourse. But in this specific situation/question, its okay. Right?
eg just like
sqrt(28)/sqrt(7)
you shouldn't blindly jump to the conclusion that's an irrational number
just because the numerators and denominator s themselves aren't integers/rational
TheUnknown
same question
Yes, also considering if it aint polynomial it aint rational (i guess)
are the numerator and denominator polynomials
:l
Yes they are
so you have your answer
Well, why are we neglecting that sqrt(3) is irrational?
note that you're dealing with polynomials
TheUnknown
and not rational numbers
That means ANY polynomial divided by another, results in rational expression?
you don't care if the coefficients or constants are irrational when dealing with rational functions/expressions
yes, by definition
👍
Ofcourse. But in this specific situation/question, its okay. Right?
if they're not trying to trick you yeh
Can we ignore that part? Consider this just an expression and then does it make it irrational? As sqrt(3) is irrational.
you don't care if the coefficients or constants are irrational when dealing with rational functions
rational functions?
rational functions/expressions
functions makes it less likely to conflate these with rational numbers
all you care about is whether
are the numerator and denominator polynomials
(or whether manipulation can be performed to get that)
$\frac{\pi x^3 + ex^2 - \sqrt{7}}{x^2 - \pi}$
ℝamonov
doesn't matter how many irrationals are present here
the numerator is a polynomial
the denominator is also a polynomial
this is a rational function/expression
So I just call it a law of maths? P(x)/P(q) is always rational
Yeah lol
and what youll see when looking it up
Still had doubt regarding the irrational coefficients
hence why I also mentioned the importance of knowing the definition of polynomial

What's the possibility to get a Bingo within 5 draws?
what is a bingo, explain rules
,calc 1/0.000017
Result:
58823.529411765
,W C(75,5)/292
HEy Deep you are everywhere
Its drawing a number but you dont put the number back

like lotto if you call it that in english
you need picture right
oh okay i get it now
is this really a verification? you just made the frac in 1 to ...
test
Laptop down in mobile know
0.000017 = 1/x,
solve for x
What r U doing ramonov?
?
Im asking what r you doing
you were asking whether
0.000017 = 1 in 58 Thousand Right?
I queried the bot to check that
My Question is Not If 0.000017 is 1 in 59 thousand
Thats The original Question
then why was the "question" in there with the 1/58000 or 1/59000 in there,
what are the exact rules of this variation of bingo
I was asking for someone whou could validate The solution
are the stars relevant
I played Bingo today, i Made The stars on it
The star in The middle is relevant
ITS Like a joker
Sorry my mobile is
writing like this, now I'm back to laptop
What's the possibility to get a Bingo within 5 draws?
are you allowed diagonals
wow
thats a GOOD Question
no im stupid
😄 I already did calculate the diagonals
thought for a second i missed them
how many balls are there
in this Bingo 75
Thats why 75 above 5, because you draw 5 out of 75 in this question
What's the possibility to get a Bingo within 5 draws?

How do I rationalize the denominator
you should multiply by the conjugate of the denominator
(the conjugate of a - b is simply a + b)
so sqrt(5)+sqrt(6)?
that works even with something more complex?
depends how complex you’re talking
say sqrt(x)-(2/sqrt(x)) as the denominator
Kihei
I suppose you could simply multiply by sqrt(x)/sqrt(x)
makes sense...
so that just leaves sqrt(x) over x - 2?
however, perhaps you meant something like $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}}$
Kihei
and in that case you should multiply by the conjugate
wait so I can't use conjugate if there is a variable instead of a value?
no you can use anything
but in this case it’d be smarter to just multiply by sqrt(x)
as x is the same number throughout the expression

wdym difference? they're just 2 different formulae
well if you know base and height, you use the formulae that has b and h
if you know the sides, you use herons
because you don't know the height
ofcourse you could find it using some other methods
in most/all cases, first

I need some help understanding what this assertion is saying
do you understand what the first line means?
theres a sort of range from c where that inequality is true
yeah so it means what follows is true around point c
supposedly theres an error in logic, im trying to see if I have the right understanding of the assertion itself
so i can find the error
second line just tells you that around point c
f is between h and g strictly
then we know that at point c all 3 functions have limits
and the assertion is that under these conditions
the inequality stays true also for the limits
Thats what I understood from it, but I dont see how theres an error
the assertion makes sense
oh so is it because in a limit you dont go to the actual point
so technically they can all have the same limit
yeah but if it was
|x-c|<p
so x can be equal to c
that would mean that the functions would be defined at point c
and that their values would be strictly ordered
not sure what that means
like h(c)<f(c)<g(c)
oh ok
oh actually nevermind we dont know if they are continuous
the real argument is as you said, the limits could be the same
like if you take h(x)=0
f(x)=x^2
and g(x)=|x|
they fullfill the assumptions
yet all the limits at 0 are 0
the first inequality is for |x-c|>0
it doesnt mean anything for
f(c) h(c) and g(c)
like i could take the same examples and assign any values to f(0) h(0) and g(0)
and it would still work
the limits dont care about whats happening at the point
unless the function is continuous
so the inequality only applies to the "range" around c, not to c itself
yeah
like theres no hypothesis on whats happening at c here
just around
as close as you want but not c
and since limits dont care about whats at c, we can just say that the functions around c still fulfill the inequality, but the limits might be at the same place
so then the limit inequality would use <= rather than <
inequalities always become loose after going through a limit
and the function inequality stays as <
are you referring to the limit or function inequality?
function
like things dont change in maths, usually when we say they do its because we are looking at a close related thing
like here i said the inequality changes
but really its the inequality of limits related to the function inequality
its 2 different things
so they can be different
(or the same)
finally I understand it
