Saccharine
what is $1_\Omega$?
Saccharine
substitute into the definition of Q
this is supposed to be the easy part
wtf
do you not understand what the definition of Q is
what did you get
I'm not sure what you're doing
showing that Q(omega) = 1 using the definition should NOT be the hard part
what is this
have you taken any math classes before this
any proof-based ones
linear algebra?
abstract algebra?
real analysis?
an intro to discrete math?
do you understand everything that the question has stated
0 < E[X] is just saying the expectation is positive
E[X] = int X dP is saying that the expectation is defined as the Lebesgue integral of X with respect to the probability measure P
E[X] < infinity just means that X is integrable
I'm literally so confused
I don't even know what to tell you
I'll probably just give you the answer for why Q(emptyset) = 0 and Q(omega) = 1 but honestly I don't know what to say or do to help you understand
$1_\emptyset(\omega) = 0$ literally everywhere
Saccharine
$Q(\emptyset) = \frac{\mathbf E[X 1_\emptyset]}{\mathbf E[X]} = \frac{\mathbf E[X \times 0]}{\mathbf E[X]} = 0$
Saccharine
no like I'm just baffled why it's not immediately obvious that E[0] = 0
even if you go through the machinery of the construction of the Lebesgue integral, I fail to see why you need to use a random inequality to conclude that
like bruh
no see you're just following what I wrote without understanding
why it's like
did you like skip everything or something
I'm so confused
yea seems good to me bos

i am going to high school ... 😦
Wait oh i am not supposed to do calculus here am I
welp i'm 13
Am in the same boat buddy
I HATE Math...
Okay no I love math
this is calculus
Oh i am doing the right thing then 🙂

Given that the raduis is 2mm. Find the area
The area of?
square
Well if they give that it's a square, you can find the side length easily...
The circles are touching each other and also the sides
That's why
That's why?
Well this was supposed to be the hint lmao
...
are you sure about this comment(?)
What's the fun if you're just told the answer???
Well, you can find it for the fun of it 
No I want to understand the solution
That's what I mean
write the solution
Also half my screen is broken, my mouse doesn't work (I'm using keys), and I'm writing an essay
Give me another hint
What's a diameter?
Look at the upper two circles
Yes
And how they 'fit' in
The side length is 4
Using this, can you find the side length of the square?
Not quite
Yes, you got it
It's a square

Excuse me you need to leave
Alright if it's a rectangle then let me think
okay 🙂
Form the triangle by joining 3 centres and then use trigonometry
To figure out the length from the centre of the bottom circle to the upper base of the triangle
if that makes sense @still temple
The height would be 2 times the radius + part of the green line inside the triangle
Which is nothing but the altitude of the equilateral triangle
@still temple
No need to use that, recall what the angles of a equilateral triangle are equal to
60
60 30
Idgaf about special triangles
altitude?
You know the hypotenuse is 4
what's that
And want the adjacent side
okay
The green part of the line inside the triangle
yup
I get it
thanks. Is there any way I can redeem like a thank you point or something?
Idk man
But yeah btw sorry for my earlier solution
Because
This figure
Can never be a square
Ik
I should have realised that

(cf)'=cf'
what is this identity called?
it's rather property
that tells you can take out constant
when dealing with derivatives
Linearity of the differential operator/derivative
that's a mouth full
i was hoping for "constant rule" or something nice, like Power Rule, Product Rule, etc.
Maybe you can. It just never occurred to me because you'd probably never have to detail it
constant rule rarther refers to the property that derivative of a constant is zero
maybe constant multiple rule
ayeee
common sense ftw
"trivial application of Leibniz's formula/theorem for derivatives" is that better ?

Hello
Um
I guess the answer is No Solution right???
hehe
Because it could be solved by Elimination method if it had a second equation with it
also
we cant take any common between 2a and 5b
sooooo
There is no solution
right?
If there are more variables than equations, then there are an infinite number of solutions
??
how
Try to isolate a here
a = 1/2 (7 + 5b)
You can choose any number for b
And there will be a corresponding a
E.g. a = 3.5 and b = 0 is a solution
But you can choose an infinite number if b's
all the points on this line are solutions
In fact if you were to graph the equality, it's a line. Lines have an infinite number of points
Yup
Yes
how can i prepare for my math olympiades?
If a and x are the unknowns
hmm
I think asking that in #competition-math will be more helpful

✅
what if my teacher wrongs it
what do i say
in that case
what do i tell her
that its infinite
Yes
because it is?
hmm
i guess
you can express b in terms of a
then you say since it works for any values of a
therefore there are infinite solutions
Yup
sup baby
what's the benefits from learning math and be a pro at it ?
will i buy a BMW by solving math issues 🤓 ?
Do you know the formula of x³+y³?
It's (x+y).(x²-xy+y²)
Now, we know that x+y is 3
That means x²-xy+y²=4
yes
use (x+y)³, it's better
For this problem
(x+y)³=x³+y³+3xy(x+y)
ik both formulas
but idk how to derive the answer
No, x+y is 3, when we wrote it down as 3.(x²-xy+y²)=12, x²-xy+y²=4
We know x+y, we know x³+y³
That just leaves xy as the unknown in the equation
how is 12 - 3 = 4
me no understand
rip
@normal ginkgo have u tried this
um
leme try
12+3xy(3)
12+9xy
9xy= (-12)
xy = (-12/9)
xy = -1.33?
@cunning jackal
reee
its not the answer
!!!
ohhh
but
wait
ok
(3) ^3 = 12+3xy(3)
27 = 12 + 9xy
27-12 = 9xy
15/9 = xy
1.66??
bruh
@cunning jackal
Yes
What is 5/3?
15/9=5/3
Divide numerator and denominator by 3
its actually
i have not slept for 16 hours
doing just math
so my brain perfomance
You should sleep
is a lil impacted
but
Doing math like this
You'll perform worse if you're lacking sleep
:/
@normal ginkgo Has your question been resolved?
??
ohh
And then you can factor it like a quadratic
do we put back values later on
for example if answer is
11 a
we do it
11x^2
?
Is factorable?
??
what you mean by factorable?
Like for ex. x^2 - 4x + 4 becomes (x-2)^2
Do you understand how i got from the original equation into factored form?
Once you get your roots/solutions then yes
ok
Does that help?

Hey, we have 3 independent situations A B and C
We know that P(A) = 1/2
And
I simplified it to
And the question is
What is P(C)
Any tips or help on what to do next bcus im a lil stuck
<@&286206848099549185>
And then apply the P(A)+P(B)-P(A/\B) rule?
No, I don't think that is useful
Instead use $P((A\cap B^c)\cup (A^c\cap B)) = P(A\cap B^c) + P(A^c\cap B)$
d឵
How do you get that out of the thing I got?
How do you mean?
I mean I know what it means but how does it help us?
OOOOOOW like
Nvm
If X and Y are independent then P(X /\ Y) = P(X)·P(Y)
If you have independent A B and C, Is that for every sort of combination of for eg A and B in relation to C, like in my exercise? Like P(C/(A/Bcomp))=P(C)*P(A/Bcomp). ?
Yes
That is not hard to prove
Does that change if C is included in the combination?
Yes
Can you show one please?
If $X$ and $Y$ are independent, $X$ and $Y^c$ are also independent. Write $X = (X\cap Y) \cup (X\cap Y^c)$, then $P(X) = P(X)\cdot P(Y) + P(X\cap Y^c)$. You also have $P(Y) = 1 - P(Y^c)$, and mixing both equations you end the proof

How do I solve no.5?
(Work copied, not mine)
Use the properties of log
@rancid saffron what the difference between the compounded and compounded continuously interest?
Do you have any idea of it?
I know how to do the regular continuous one! Pe^(rt)
The non continuous… I can’t remember but I can pull a sheet out if you want
Is that the equation I need for no 5?
No that's the solution t.
You look like you already have the correct equation.
Yeah! He is already using the right formula
hold on I don’t get it.. to find t is it this equation?
@coarse vale I thought so as well. Compounded continuously derives from the fact that you are evaluating a limit as n goes to infinity of
(1 + 1/n)^n
Yes.
Ah ok! That’s what I needed!
What's different now is that instead of solving for either the final amount A or something like that there's a little twist.
You have all the amounts and interest. You want to how to find how much TIME it will take to go from your current value of $1551 to a new total $1971.71 after getting compounded interest.
Oh wait in the equation for t should ln be e?
Thus you have to "undo" this exponential equation, meaning you're going to need to use logarithms.
Not quite e. You're going to need to use log to get that t "down" from the exponential.
Makes sense
The classic x = e^ log(x) except going in the opposite direction according to the equation.
Awesome. Good luck!
Thank you so much!
Have a nice day! Thank you for helping, God bless and Jesus loves you very much!

For b), how do I find it with so limited information
Can anyone give me a clue
@stray helm Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> 🥺
This is a problem that sometimes appears on the physics GREs but in a less complicated way.
For a since they give you the solution for free, just find the derivative and plug both that and the original solution to v into the equation given in the question.
You should find both sides match.
The second one involves plugging in t = 5 min and t=10 min and comparing formulas
for c) they're asking you to take the limit as t goes to infinity.
I've got the answer for a) but i just dont know how to do b
Do i just substitute 5 and 10 into the formula?
Because it's an exponential with a negative sign it'll just die off and cause the whole term to go to zero. So the only thing remaining is v = g/alpha
Yes
But I dont know the value of constant a
Good point. You'll have to look at both cases when a is greater than 0 and a less than 0.
If a is greater then it's the first answer is sent. If a is negative it'll cause v to go to infinity.
Oh am I supposed to use limit here?
The constant is probably greater than zero as it seems this question would then make no sense if a is negativen
Closed by @stray helm
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
No problem. I believe alpha here is the drag coefficient.
So it should be positive anyway. The question just awkwardly avoids telling you upfront @stray helm

$f(x)=\sqrt{3x^2+4}$
okokok
find domain
3x^2+4 greater than equal to 0
subtract 4
divide 3
x^2 greater than equal -4/3
idk what to do now
welp, the square of all real numbers are positive right...
wdym
what are you even doing here
why can't you say the domain is the entire real line? all numbers work..
basically, what you want here is to find all values of x for which the thing inside the square root is not negative
however, $x^{2} \geq 0$ for all real values of $x$
noh
so, it follows that $3x^2 + 4 \geq 0$ for all real values of $x$
noh
can you show this on a number line for the domain
the part you need to pay attention to is "for all real values of x"
can you express all real values of x on a number line?
that's not useful
this is the key to it
this this is the work you show
hm?
we're using that to show that it's impossible for $3x^{2} + 4 < 0$
noh
*for all real values of x
ok so what is the work written out in order
if it's impossible for $3x^{2} + 4 < 0$, then it should follow that $\sqrt{3x^2 + 4}$ is "possible" for all real values of x
noh
and i'll leave that for you to figure out

Explanation please ?
half of a square is a rectangle that specifically has one side twice as long as the other
so algebraically the longer side must be 4, for the perimieter to be 12
got it. thanks
they said they folded it but they could as well cut it
${2}x.{2} + x.{2} = {12}$ so yeah got it
yup one square turned into 2 rectangle, makes sense.
it doesn't really become 2x+x, it's x + 2x + 2x +x = 12,

Alright I am back at it again because I am lost and there is no help video
So from what I understand from my course materials, wouldn’t this be a quadrangle?
Like (0,1)?
I have no idea what a quadrangle is but it's asking the value of sec(0) and csc(0)
csc in a calculator works as sin^-1?
everyone use sin^-1 for inverse of sin in terms of operation of function, not multiplication
on your calculator sin^-1 probably functions as sine inverse
So 1/sin(0) would be 1/0, which is DNE or undefined?
there is an other formula for csc I think
yeah I realize that, I pointed out that it was poor notation. normally the power going in between the trig function and the angle is what indicates the special behavior, so sin^-1 (not sin^-1(x)) is kinda ambigous
csc(0) is undefined
And then 1/cos(0) is 1/1 so 1?
Hey that worked
I’m still curious though
What is the sin^-1, cos^-1, etc for?
inverse of sin and inverse of cos for the law o
which means :
$g \circ f = f \circ g = Id \implies g = f^{-1}$
Herels
you will know later, but keep in mind that sin^-1 is the inverse of sin, not for the multiplication we know
but for a special sign for function which is called o
thats a bit abstract yea i know
Gotcha gotcha. Thanks for the help though, seems pretty straightforward to me!

Wait thats 64
There is a factor of 64 there though
And as you noted, $\sqrt[6]{64} = 2$
@glass silo
Am I not already 
What is the first step?
You're trying to simplify, I'd assume is the question (that wasn't explicitly asked) 
Arent i gonna do somethin like 1/6 + 1/4 - 1/6 -1/6
And like im gonna change their underwear
I forgot if its denominator or nominator
And well now you've simplified $\sqrt[4]{32} = 2\sqrt[4]{2}$ and $\sqrt[6]{192} = 2\sqrt[6]{3}$, you can use those to make your life a bit easier
@glass silo
Put all that into your original and also combine the terms and you should end up with

4 \sqrt[6]{3} + 2 ( 2 \sqrt[4]{2} ) - 5 ( 2 \sqrt[6]{3} )
]
and, well, there's only a tiny bit of work there
@glass silo
Oh i just simplify and not actually solve em
So i dont do the 1/6 + 1/4 - 1/6 - 1/6?

how would you solve c and d
Cool cool, you’ve got an idea of how to do c then?
what would be the first step ?
Well, given a and b, I’d just sin^2(t) + cos^2(t) = 1 it
why do you do this rule to find x ?
Well, you use it to get the equation they've stated there - from there, you solve that equation to find what x is
(there are values that you'd end up ignoring as solutions for logical reasons)
I’ve gotten to this part but how do u make it 56 x squared
how does sin^2(a) + cos^2(a) = 1 allow you to find x
OH WAIT
i got it
it =1
Saves me from writing it out
im still confused on how x would be found from squaring cos and sin though
ok i got 4 and 2root10 for x
Well, you know that $\cos(\alpha) = \frac{x^{2} - 32}{4x}, \sin(\alpha) = \frac{x^{2} - 16}{4x}$ and that $\cos^{2}(\alpha) + \sin^{2}(\alpha) = 1$, which gives you, as you said
[
\pqty{\frac{x^{2} - 32}{4x} }^{2} + \pqty{ \frac{x^{2} - 16}{4x} }^{2} = 1
]
which gets you the equation they said after rearranging, $x^{4} - 56x^{2} + 640 = 0$
@glass silo
oh so u just plug that rule in just because it like works
Pretty much, you have the angles in terms of x and you know that the rule holds, so you're forced to have that equation
Solve for x^2, and then for x
^^
That's what I'm wondering - I think a property of triangles
They say give reasons for your answer - we already know the negative answers of x don't work as lengths can't be negative, but then we need to be able to rule one of those out
yeah
Well, if we consider like the x = 4 one
hmm
(but memes aside, notice this triangle)
You have that in a triangle, that the length of one side is less than or equal to adding the other two sides together
what abt an equilatreal triangle
With respect to here, that's saying that, taking 6 and then the other two sides, that 6 is less than or equal to 2 + x, and equality only if B lies between P and C
but B doesnt lie between P and C
if all sides of an equilateral triangle are x, you basically have the statement x <= 2x, which is true as x > 0, and strict
Exactly 
x = 4 would imply it does, but it doesn't
So rule that one out
o
hey i have a questoin
referring back to that sin squared cos squared rule
could i just substituet htme back in
would that work
Which do you mean by "them"? the values of x?
yeA
Well for any x values we get, they would work in the sin^2 + cos^2 equation we have
That's how we found them to begin with
using this triangle inequality ?
This here btw is effectively the statement "the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line", if that helps to see why that's true
"triangle inequality" is just the more fancy way of saying it 
Alright, let's say I want to get from point P to point C
Which would be shorter - going directly to C, or going from P to B first and then from B to C?
going directy to c
That's effectively what I was saying before - and that if they're the same distance, then really you have that B must be in between P and C on that line, if you get me?
what do u mean by B must be in between P and C on that line, wouldnt it just be on P
Well B would be 2 units away from B, so they can't be the same point if that makes sense
um
could u like draw where B must be in between the line if they r the same idstance
Erm, I'm gonna steal this from Brilliant and hope it helps me 
But if you had that x = 4
You'd have a straight line
They do 
The triangle inequality states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the remaining side. It follows from the fact that a straight line is the shortest path between two points. The inequality is strict if the triangle is non-degenerate (meaning it has a non-zero area). Submit your answer If ...
what is strict inequatliy
They also have some examples (though, as before, it might be that you're already familiar with this but it was stated differently, rather than the "fancy" name of triangle inequality
)
stuff like 1 < 2, you're less than something (or greater than something) but can't be equal to it
u cant do any wiggly wobbly way to get to another point faster than just using the line on the triangle
oh ok
Yea that's it 
how would u use that to figure out which answer is valid tho ?
because dont they technically both fit
2+4 or 2root10 >= 6
"...with a point P within the square..."
uh huh
You'd have problems with that if you had x = 4
Actually, on that note, maybe as well
,calc (2 * sqrt(5) + 2) - 4
Result:
2.4721359549996
Oh no that isn't a contradiction, nvm
Don't worry about that - I was testing triangle PBA and the sides of length 2sqrt{5} and 2 against the side of x
o ok
repasting
so are both solutions valid ?
is there any other way to prpove it
No - only the 2sqrt{10} one is valid
There may be, but I can't think of it right now
oh ok
Other than saying "point P being inside the square makes triangle PBC non-degenerate (i.e. a triangle, not a straight line), but choosing x = 4 would get us that PBC is a straight line, which is a contradiction"
You could probably do similar with triangle PBA as well I think actually no you can't
ooog
how would u know it would be straight line from x=4
?
Because you'd have 2 + 4 = 6, and remember the statement here that the inequality is strict if the triangle is non-degenerate (not actually a straight line)
Anyways, to compare the picture here...
...with here, if it's of any help
Oh you already got it
nice nice 
yes thx
Erm, I would say something along the lines of "considering triangle PBC, we can't have x=4 else we would have the triangle degenerate/it would violate the triangle inequality/[something like that]"
Was a pleasure, hope that helped for ya

how would i simplify this?
16^3/4
convert it to a root
you could alternatively use some exponent rules to split it into two different roots and multiply
@serene inlet Has your question been resolved?
@serene inlet 16^(3/4) would be equivalent to having the 4th square root of 16 to the 3rd power. the 4th square root of 16 is 2, and 2 to the 3rd power is 8
this is what i have now
are you able to do the rest?
i can basically input ths into my calculator right?
ahh shi
wait im not alowed to use calc
how would i solve it?
you dont need a calculator
do i just do 16^3?
You could also write it as (4throot16)^3
No
though its the same, its much easier to simplify if you put the cube outside of a paranthesis the 4th root of 16 instead of just 16
im confused
no
you can still go further @serene inlet do the rest try it by yourself
well 1/5 is correct, but the way you got there is not
ya…
did i rewrite it correctly?
from the exponent
<@&286206848099549185> why would the answer be 2? im confuzzled
Wdym
Can you show entire question?

Does anyone know how to get M? And what is M?
@tame cedar Has your question been resolved?
you're supposed to find a reasonable value for M
simplify this
i thought it was already as simple as it could get
2(1) = 2
How did you get 2
Result:
2
i'm just telling you how to simplify
yes
What comes next?
pick something convenient that fits this
there's no single "right" answer
1
you should be computing a derivative
right
use that too to find M
i should have included a and b in the previous screenshot
riemann
right. so find a convenient M that satisfies this inequality
for that range of x

Matrices and distance from 2 planes.
I have a point in 3D space that is not on either of the planes.
I know the "normal" way to calculate the distance of point from a plane using projection onto the normal of a plane.
I'm wondering if I can somehow better use matrices to find out the distances from both planes at the same time?
