integration by parts perhaps?
would that just be (e^P^3)/3?
idk
how'd you know the answer then
so i did it in reverse
what do u sub in?

"Based on the store's purchase data, 40% of customers buy oranges and 33% buy bananas.
How many of the day's 1000 customers buy these fruits (oranges, bananas, or both) in the following cases. Give the answer as a whole number, rounded to the nearest whole number if necessary."
Now I am having trouble in the c section that states
"If buying oranges has no effect on buying bananas."
I can't really grasp the reason on how this affects the outcome and how do I calculate it
Can somebody help?
Okay if buying oranges has no effect on buying bananas, does it mean that those who buy oranges can also potentially buy bananas?

why is it not possible that both are zero is it due to the definiton of cross product?
give me one minute
these aren't exclusive ors
i know but still
still what?
still why isnt it possible that both can be together zero is corss product still defined then?
0 x 0 = 0
the condition a x b = 0 implies that either a or b must be the zero vector, or both must be parallel (i.e., the angle between them is 0° or 180°). It cannot be the case that both a and b are zero vectors simultaneously.
but but is that allowed
is what i got
nah i dont want chatgpt to answer me gang 😭
its not. i just did it.
this is a perfectly fine definition
What's your definition of cross product?
like the sin theta is the angle between the vectors but zero vectors dont have a definite direction direct
you're using trig for the definition?
nah like the definiton of cross product is
A X B= |A||B|sin(theta) unit vector of n [which is given by right hand thumb rule right]
if you ever need to define 0x0, this is the only acceptable answer
most equivalent definitions will let you directly define 0x0 as well
you just happened to take a def that fails in this case
for ANY vector a, axa = 0. thus, 0x0 = 0. and the angle between a vector and itself is zero, so |0x0| = |0||0|sin0° = 0.

Right or wrong?
Math is so weird because if I were to multiply the top fraction by the bottom fraction reciprocal, I wouldn’t get the same answer
If there is a common factor throughout any part of the complex fraction, can I cancel it?
what's the question?
If I multiply the top fraction w/ the bottom reciprocal, would I get the same result?
like $\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a}{b}\cdot\frac{d}{c}$?
someone1010
if so then yes
This would be what would happen, and here the same stuff cancels out

brief ana2 Q
regarding the definition of a topological space (X, T)
can for instance
X = R
T = {EmptySet, R, B(0,1)}
?
where B is the closed ball around the origin with radius 1
seems to fulfill the conditions
but I do find it odd as it is also used as an equivalent definition for open sets
meaning V ⊆ X is open <=> V ∈ T
but how shall that apply if I can pick any valid T, especially one which contains closed subsets
@lilac siren Has your question been resolved?
“How is a set different from a door?”
I'm not sure how that answers it :D
since this is a valid topological space,
- a topology may contain closed subsets of X
- the definition of openness of a subset of X via environments is not equivalent to that subset being within the given topology
is what I take away
I was in the middle of editing 
was gonna comment that while said closed ball is closed wrt the standard topology (and isn’t open), wrt the new one you just defined, it’s open (but not closed, its complement isn’t in your topology)
ahh
topologies are meant to be the guideline for openness
if T contains all open subsets of X
then a subset is considered open equivalent to the openness definition with environments
so it provides the definition for openness itself ok

cos(5x) + cos(x) = 2cos(2x)
riemann
Last one with a cleverly chosen x and y
at what values of x does cos(2x) = 0?
cos(2x), not cos(x)
2cos(3x)cos(2x) = 2cos(2x)
im heavily tempted to divide by 2cos(2x) but idk if i can
answer my question first
90, 270
45, 135
correct, but 2 values arent enough
225
now given an integer k, can you give the solutions set of x for which cos(2x) = 0?
45, 135, 225, 315
as in, the solution set of sin(x) = 0 is x = 180k for any integer k
what about cos(2x)?
for, cos(2x) = 0 solution set is x = 45k
tbh i dont know
90 and 270?
correct, but again, im looking for a general solution set
if its hard, use a unit circle
,tex .unit circle
at what point on the circle does cos(x) = 0?
90 and 270
and...?
wrong
remember that you can add 360 to any angle and it still doesnt change
90, 270, 450, 630 ...
yes
now take your starting point as 90
if you observe closely, you can actually add 180 to 90 however times you want
and cos(x) would still be 0
can you tell me the solution set of cos(x) now?
very good!
now that you got the solution set of cos(x) = 0, can you tell me the solution set of cos(2x) = 0 now?
cos(2x) = 45 + 90k
very good!
now lets return to this
i mean thats the solution set for cos (2x) = 0
yes, that is correct
do you think you can divide both sides by 2cos(2x)?
well idk the angle so i think not
well cos(2x) could = 0
yes, this is why i asked you to find the values of x in those cases
essentially, you need to consider two cases:
- when x = 90k + 45
- when x is not 90k + 45
this also works, its basically the same
my fault i didn’t see that message
no im supporting your argument, this was directed at op
yes
you found the solution set for the former
now do it for the latter
ill be right back, gotta do something quick

How is the group of integers under addition cyclic?
a single member of G should be able to generate all other members
1 can generate all positive ints, and -1 can generate all negative ints. but neither can generate all
In abstract algebra, a generating set of a group is a subset of the group set such that every element of the group can be expressed as a combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of the subset and their inverses.
In other words, if
S
{\displaystyle S}
is a subset of a group
...
note the "and their inverses"
I am not looking for a generating set, I am looking for a generator @fervent rampart
Are you saying that if I have 1 as my generator, that includes its inverse, -1?
a cyclic subgroup is generated by a generating set with a single member (the generator)
I get that
but shouldn't the subgroup be the actual group itself?
so not much of a "sub"group
a set is a subset of itself, so a group is a subgroup of itself
I am still not really sure where my understanding is off. Can you just tell me what the generator of the group of ints under addition is?
As far as I am concerned, there isn't one
a generator is just a member of a generating set. so the same rules apply
you lost me at "generating set"
well not really
I am trying to determine if the group is a cyclic group
a single element in G has to be able to do this (create all members of G)
yes, we like to drop the {} and write <g> rather than <{g}> but they mean the same thing. the definition of a generator does not change
I am not sure why you're mentioning {} that is not what I was confused about, although I am now
can you please just tell me what the g is?
I am not sure what the <> denotes either
is that saying "generator" ?
using additive notation,
<g> = {ng, n in Z}
using multiplicative notation,
<g> = {g^n, n in Z}
in other words, all elements which can be expressed using a finite number of group operations on g and its inverse
in this example what constant is g
<g> is the set generated by f
1 would work
-1 + -1 = -2
1 is not -1 though, is that why you mentioned this?
yes
thank you
I get it now
thank you for your help and patience @fervent rampart

prof accidently put something we havent learned yet on our homework, but insists we do it anyway, which I've only just noticed now, 1.5 hours before its due.
Is anyone able to point me to the relevant reading stuff to solve this problem? Maybe an example? I would like to avoid any stupid mistakes from a hasty google search, and our book is too dense for me to get confident and also do the problem before I have to turn it in.
@dense smelt Has your question been resolved?
For a), you want to show linear independence.
That means that you want to see whether a linear combination of p1, p2 and p3 can yield the 0 function without all the coefficients being 0
That's the right approach.
keep in mind I am cooked 
You likely don't need gaussian elimination though
To have linear independence you need to make sure that the only solution is a1 = a2 = a3 = 0

✅
b) is somewhat similar
You take some generic $\alpha x^2 + \beta x + \gamma$ and you have to show that there are some $a,b,c$ such that $a p_1 + b p_2 + c p_3 = \alpha x^2 + \beta x + \gamma$

find the biggest n where n³ + 100 is divisible by n + 10
n³ + 100 = (n+10)(n² -10n + 100) - 900
If n³ + 100 is divisible by n+10, it needs you something else here
it means 900 is divisible by n+10
the question becomes how did you factorize it like that
it's n^3 + 10^2 which wishes to become n^3 + 10^3 🥹
Forced factor by n+10
the technique that needs to be nerfed badly
where did OP go?
@muted scroll Has your question been resolved?
I also did that but I didn't know what should I do next
Do you know about factor theorem?
900 must be divisible by n+10
I have (n+10)(n² - 10n + 100) - 900 ≡ 0 (mod n + 10)
since (n+10)(n² - 10n + 100) is divisible by n + 10
also 900 must be divisible by n + 10
Put -10 in f(n)
yes
you're looking for the biggest n
biggest divisor of 900 is 900
so n+10 = 900

hello , we have an equation of a circle and we ask us to find the center and the radius
but idk how to do it, can someone learn me how please !
complete the square
specifically $x^2 - 4x + 4$, $y^2 - 6y + 9$ is already a perfect square
south's secret twin brother
so what must the right hand side now be with x^2 - 4x + 4?
yeah!
so now you can get it in the form $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$
south's secret twin brother
$(h, k)$ centre and $r$ radius
south's secret twin brother
but why we added 4 and not 3 or 2 or 1
cause now if we have $(x^2 + 4x + 4) + (y^2 - 6y + 9) = 4$, add $4$ on both sides
south's secret twin brother
you can complete the square and get to this

Hi, I'd like to ask for some help on finding the equation of a plane
so in this figure i'm looking for the plane
So the edges that make up the tetrahedron is
(0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,2,0),(0,0,3)
my idea was to take one point and then subtract two others from there
for example (0,0,0)-(1,0,0) and (0,0,0)-(0,2,0)
and then use the cross thingy to get a normalvector to the plane
but that'd be (0,0,2)?
and 0*(x-x0)+0(y-y0)+2(z-0) = 0
doesn't really uh..
produce something that i think is correct
so where did I go wrong ;P
ah it should be end point vs start point
but even then does that really change a lot?
(1,0,0) and (0,2,0)
still gives (0,0,2)
and then we get 2z = 0 as the normal equation for the plane
or would I have to select coordinates that aren't 0?
like (1,0,0)-(0,5, 0,5, 0,5) and (0,2,0)-(0,5, 0,5, 0,5) from which we get (0,5, -0,5 , -0,5) and (-0,5, 1,5, -0,5)
(0,25-(-0,75), 0,25-(-0,25), 0,75-(0,25)) = (1, 0,5, 0,5) and plugging back our values we get 1(x-0,5) + 0,5(y-0,5) + 0,5(z-0,5) = 0
x-0,5+0,5y-0,25+0,5z-0,25 = 0
x +0,5y + 0,5z = 0,5+0,25+0,25
2x+y+z-2=0
which ain't it :/
ah wait im completely gone
XD
-1,2,0
-1,0,3
6, 3, 2
6(x-1) + 3(y-0) + 2(z-0) = 0
6x + 3y + 2z - 6 = 0
yeah
idk what i was thinking

ive been stuck on this problem for awhile now
Do you know the equation
y=mx+b
im new to this so i dont rlly understand it all
and ive seen this but like what does it mean?
ive seen tht to and i dont understand it
ok look
the slope of the curve is determined by the coefficient of x
called m
and you find that coefficient taking two points of the curve
yes
what does slope mean?
State ur points which is ob the graph
the ratio of rise to run. How much a line increases in height for every one unit is moves across
So like
(-2,24) and (2,8)
Label them if u want to make it easier to read
X1 y1 x2 y2
so you can see in the photo, for every one unit that the line moves across, it moves down by two units
that's a ratio of -2/1, so the line has a slope (or gradient) of -2
the intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis
how do i get the equation
well
a line is always in the form:
y=ax+b
use the form y = mx+p
a is the slope, and b is the intercept
with the slope you find the val of m
ok lets use a and b
ignore that our letters are different, we mean the same thing
okay, so from there, you can choose one point to be (x1,y1) and the other to be (x2,y2)
Either point can be (x1,y1) and vice versa, it'll give you the same answer
Which one do you want to do?
the points are the dots right
Yes the ones on the corners of the triangle
And then those points are written out on the sides there
as (-2,24) and (2,8)
probably
chuck "what is slope intercept form" into youtube and something will come up
but i'll give it one more go
from the top
So, the slope intercept form of a line is in the form:
y=ax+b,
where a is a number that represents the slope (or gradient), and b is a number that represents the y-intercept
Do you know how to find the y-intercept?
where the line crosses the y axis?
8
Yes, when the red line crosses over the y-axis
24
oh then its 16
Yeah!
i was looking at the blue one
And another way of saying that is that the red line intercepts the y-axis at the point (0, 16)
does that make sense?
yes
Cool
okay we're getting somewhere
And now the only other thing we need to find is the slope
so b is 16?
To find that, you can pick any two points on that red line
and -4 is y?
Sure is
What do you mean for this one
Oh do you mean the y in
y=ax+b?
which one do i use
A
urs?
Yeah they're just different letters that mean the same thing
Just up to personal preference
What do you prefer
ill use the a one
Okay
Okok
In the equation y=ax+b, we leave the y and x as is
so b is 16 how would i get a and y
So we're only needing to find a and b. Since we've found b, we just need a
You don't need it. When we have a and b, (I'll just give the example that a is 2 and b is 3):
then our equation would be: y= 2x+3.
We can then find what y would be equal to by inputting any number for x
For example, if we set x to 1, we would have
2x1 +3
so y would be equal to 5 in that case
but y isn't always equal to 5, so we need to keep it as just y to make sure we can find all the other values it could take
if that makes sense
Probably the easiest way is the rise over run formula
can u teach me rise run?
Yeah I'll give it a go
So we want to see how fast the line goes upwards compared to outwards
If a line goes up as fast as it goes across, then its gradient is 1
This is a 45° line
The formula you use to find the gradient is:
You need to pick two points that are on the red line
And they can be any points, so don't worry about having to pick specific ones
They will always give you the same answer
Did you want to pick two points on the line?
mk
you can pick that point to help you find the slope, because it lies on the line
the yellow dot is the point (1, 12)
does that point lie on the line?
yes
so we could also use that point to calculate the slope
but we aren't limited to using only those two points
we could use the corners of the triangle
or we could use the y intercept and a corner
there's infinite possibilities
but you can't use the green dot
because it doesn't lie on the line
how will the point calculate the slope?
because it will show us how fast the line has spread both vertically and horizontally
Can you tell me what point that brown dot is?
4,3
so 3,4
-1,20?
Okay yeah we can do that
So, to use the formula, we need to substitute one of our points for x2 and y2, and the other for x1 and y1
can u explain the x2 y2 stuff a bit more
I'm drawing something up
mk
So the y1, y2, x1, and x2 are all just placeholders
You put the numbers from your points in their place, and then you can solve the formula
ok so 3 is x and y is 4
x2 is 3 and y2 is 4, yeah
but you can swap them around if you'd like
it wouldn't make a difference
i think x1 3 and y1 4 would be better for me
ok so what now?
So all we have to do now is swap those numbers into the formula
so in place of x1, put 3
and in place of y1, put 4
make sure to be careful of the minus 1!
what formula?
20-4?
1-3
16
-4
-4
a is -4 and b is 16?
what that number tells you is, your line moves down four spaces before it moves one space to the right
sure is
or, it goes down four times faster than it goes outwards
oh my gosh tysm😭
that's okay man
got one more thing
now that we've gone through it once, tell me how you'd figure out the equation for this line
is it ok if i go back and read?
that's okay, it would be good to see how much you can remember
i can ask you prodding questions if you'd like?
whats that mean?
like for example
i'd ask you, what is the equation of a line ?
or, what form does it come in?
what other forms are there?
y=mx+b
m and b
what does b mean?
y intercept
and can you tell me what that is on this line?
where the line crosses the y axis
yes hahah, what number does that happen at?
3?
yeah!
but i dont see 3
that's okay
that's right
so b is 3
thats the one i forgot
that's okay, you can look at the formula
im lost again
that's the equation of a line
the formula im talking about is the formula you use to find out what m is
oh
what you said here is right
we're thinking about the same thing
can 1 7 be a point?
yep!
yeah you can do that
then x2 2
and then what else do you need
and what are they
y1 is 7 and y2 is 11
put it all together?
y=4x+3
man your a life saver
is it making sense? are you getting the hang of it?
yes
yes pls
and i don't ask you anything, but you tell me everything that you're doing
ok
so that i can point things out if you make mistakes?
i also think it's very good that you figured out where you went wrong here by yourself
ye i put the xs on top
yep!
x1 1
and x2 0
y1 2 y2 5
2-1 1
wait
itd be 0-1
so -1
5-2 is 3
3 divided by -1
-3
so
y=-3x+5
?
thanks to u
hahaha
fr tho thx i was stuck for like 2 hours
my only recommendation is: it's very normal for people to write down the formula first and then put all their numbers in
just to make sure they get the right answer
are you writing this on paper?
no i was using my head
that's okay! just one more thing too
?
make sure to practice
i will ill look up some
you're very good at it right now, but when you move on to other topics later, it might not come as easily then
so make sure to do a couple questions here and there to make sure you've still got it
ok ty for the advice
also do yk any books i could read im tryna get some reading in and cant find any?
i probably wouldn't know. if i recommended anything, it might not fit exactly what they're teaching you at school
i recommend searching it up on youtube, there's some very good maths youtubers out there
and also just ask your teacher if they have any recommendations
homeschooled
they might be able to loan you a textbook
ohhh
well there you go
yeah have a go on youtube!
mk ty
you're welcome to dm if you get stuck

Is it possible to take the infimum (or min) or a multivariable function subject to only one of the variables, like for example trying to get infimum of f(x,y) subject to only x? If so, how is that defined?
Yes, it is possible
In the example, for each y, you get a function f_y(x) = f(x,y) which depends only on x
So you can take the inf as usual
So I understand that the result of $\inf_{x} f(x,y)$ would be a function of y, I guess I just don't really get what you're supposed to do with the y when taking inf based on x
Risa
I don't think you are supposed to do anything with the y
You get a different result for each y
so essentially for all values of y, the infimum of f(x,y) based on x should be an appropriate lower bound
for each fixed y you get a different thing
so for example for y=2 you get the infimum of f(x,2)
for y=3 you get the inf of f(x,3)
and so on
that defines a new function g(y) = inf_x f(x,y)
What does appropriate mean in this context?
for each value y you want, you can plug it into this and get some new value g(y)
like satisfies the defininition of an infimum
It is only an infimum for that value of y
Not for the whole function
For example, take f(x,y) = x^2+y^2
I will find the inf in x when y = 4
The functions becomes x^2 + 16 and the inf is 16
So g(4) = 16
But 16 is not the infimum of f, as it is 0
16 is the infimum of the function f(x,4)
Soo if you have something like $\max_{y} \inf_{x} f(x,y)$ you take the max first to figure out what the inner y should be?
Risa
No, you take the inf first
And get a function g(y)
And then find the max of that new function g
yeah I mean that's what I was thinking
idk i'll go see if I confused myself somehow

my working out will be expand out (3+bx)^3 so u get bx^2 which u then multiply by -x to make x^3 and mutiply x^3 by 2 and then do equation
but this isnt the case
how do i do this???????????
sum1 tell me step by step please

I am doing this question and I am quite confused about the use of Advisory and the use of probability that if a Advisory can distinguish two codes. This is the question:
Suppose MAC is the tag-generation algorithm for a secure Message Authentication Code. Define a new tag-generation algorithm MAC′ as
MAC′(k, m) = MAC(k, m)∥MAC(k, m),
where k ← {0, 1}n is a fully uniform key string of length n. Does MAC′ also yield a secure Message Authentication Code? Prove your answer. You may assume that for both MAC and MAC′, the corresponding Key Generation algorithms take as input the security parameter 1n and output a uniform key k of length n. Here, by secure we mean that the Message Authentication code is existentially unforgeable under an adaptive chosen-message attack.
And my attempt is as follow:
Let the adversary receive any valid message-tag pair (m, t∥t) where t = MAC(k,m)
The adversary can verify that the tag consists of two identical halves
And accept only if both halves are identical (t = t')
Hence Pr[𝙼𝚊𝚌-𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚎𝒜,Π(𝑛) = 1] > 1/2
Hence MAC' does not yield a secure message authentication code

How do we get to -2 sinh(1)??
like how is it the case that sin(1) - sin(1) doesn't cancel each other to begin with? o_O
and shouldn't e^-1 - e^1 be 1?
like in my head this is = 1
,calc e^(-1) - e^1
Result:
-2.3504023872876
riemann
ah wait i see
what i did wrong
kek
or now im confused
1/e - e/1
1/e - e^2/e
ah no it probably checks out
but nonetheless how do we get to -2sinh(1)?
,, \sinh x = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}2
or ah it flips it
cloud
yeah ok and we have 1-e^2/e
or we had e^-1-e^1 to begin with before i started doing this stuff
use that original one j think
so then you can say 2(sinh(1))?
ah no its -
since it's the wrong order
ok i see what they did then
thank you!
felt so lost for a second there..
have a nice evening/day!

completely lost on how to do c
the circle is ez pz
but idk what they did here
😱
you get the inspiration from the pythagoras theorem
in the equation of circle there is sum of two squares as in pythagoras theorem
and also sin^2+cos^2=1
oh its not a right angle triangle there tho
what is not right angle triangle
ah im lost
oh wait
i think i get it
u make a right angle out of this right?
so then 3 cos t squared plus 3 sin t squared = 3
no no i mean we have equation of circle like this:
(x-4)^2+(y-3)^2=9
it's like pythagoras theorem right?
yea
can you see where the parametric equations come from?
