It is required to seat 5 men and 3 women in a row so that the women occupy the even places. How many such arrangements are possible?
is it 7200 or 2880?
M represents the seats where men can seat
will the last seat not be counted?
there seems to be 10 seats in consideration here when there are only 8 people (and therefore, presumably, 8 seats).
ok wait hold on tho...
the seats are obviously numbered 1-8
of these, the girls can sit only in 2, 4, 6, 8 -- four seating options not five
if I may add, you also only have three girls to consider, not four.
oh
alright
i thought the last would be considered because it would be 10th seat
you only have 8 people to consider, and thus 8 seats.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. But I have the opportunity to take two selection exams to maybe get a spot in the national team of my country for the IMO. But I'm not sure if I'm able to solve question like the ones in these exams in just 240 minutes. I'd like to get some idea of things I should know before I take these exams, i still have 2 weeks to prepare.
you could ask here, but I think the community over at #competition-math could help you out better with those

yeah, just post
Wait

In a triangle ABC,
sin A = 3/5 and sin B = 5/13.
If the side opposite to A is a = 9,
find the area of the triangle in terms of its perimeter p.
@calm harbor
Okay dude!
Try the sine identity sin A / a = sin B / b

I used the Law of Sines first.
Yoo! Thanks for the help!
I have one more question
If sin A + sin B + sin C = 0 and cos A + cos B + cos C = 0,
prove that triangle ABC is equilateral and find each angle.
@calm harbor
@marsh trench
what have you tried?
Is your name the fast checkmate tactic? i know i have tried too
I cannot prove it i tried simplyfying it
are you sure there is no typo?
cuz if its equilateral, then cos A + cos B + cos C = $ 3 \times 0.5$ = 1.5
The triangle is never going to be equilateral if sinA + sinB + sinC = 0
AYOO IT IS IN MY ASSIGNMENTS DUDE
Could you take a screenshot of your book?
It's a pdf btw
I can give you wait for a while
No, take a screenshot
Yea I'll do that only
Alright 
you can check the first question
Right, I’ll help disprove the statement so that you can understand why it is wrong.
No question 1 is not possible in Euclidean geometry
Do you know the property of an equilateral triangle?
Okay dude if its happen then I'm going to principal lol
Yea all sides and angle are equal!
That is correct, what’s the magnitude of those angles?
All medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors are the same line
so if you proof it just send it here in anything i'll go with a proof tommorow
He ain't livin' tmmr
I
Msged him
bout this
he saw it rn
..
Sir , I checked that question again — it seems wrong because sin A + sin B + sin C = 0 and cos A + cos B + cos C = 0 can’t hold true for real triangle angles. That condition is impossible, so the question itself isn’t valid.
I wrote this
You’re right, that condition isn’t possible for a real triangle. It’s a theoretical case, not a valid question. Good observation! We’ll discuss this with the other students tomorrow. @calm harbor he wrote this.
Cool, anything else?
K bro My doubts are solved man!
Thanks for helping me to gain aura

An infinite sequence (x_n) is defined by its first term x_1 > 1, which is a rational number, and the relation x_(n+1) = x_n + 1/ ⌊x_n⌋ for all positive integers n. Prove that this sequence contains an integer.
i found that the necessary condition for x_n+1 being an integer is that (if x_n = p/q) floor(x_n) | q
also its a strictly increasing sequence
hi
@patent sandal Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
any ideas are appreciated
From some examples, it appears that whenever
x_n = k + (k - 1)/k (for some natural number k),
the next term x_(n+1) is an integer. This seems to be both a necessary and sufficient condition for the sequence to produce an integer value (not 100% sure).
I haven’t had time to look into a full proof, but I expect you would start by writing x_n = p_n / q_n in lowest terms and analysing modulo both k_n = floor(p_n / q_n) and q_n.
yeah i did analyse
hm the conjecture is a stronger version of my condition
I haven’t the time now, but I’ll be back in maybe 20 minutes..
if q>k then floor(x_n+1) is more than floor(x_n)
@patent sandal Has your question been resolved?
Isn't q = k?
Oh wait I'm thinking of something else
No, that's right: we can deduce q = k for x_n
Yeah, that should give you the 'why' k + (k-1)/k works
For proving that it has to occur, the key idea is to look at how the fractional part of x_n evolves within each block where the integer part (floor) stays fixed at some k.

man i just can't wrap my head around these conceps of the 4 subspaces
lmk if my reasoning is right, but we know the first choice is true because the dimension of null space of A + dimension of column space of A must be equal to n, and null space spans r^n
what are the dimensions of A

mmm
could someone give me a small hint for this
I need to prove $| |x| - |y| | \leq |x - y|$
Branshi (Hints only plz)
it makes sense intuitively once I drew it out
but im trying to get the proof and its just not adding up
the triangle inequality is just turning everything positive
could someone give me the first small step starting from the left side
or maybe a different way to view the problem
u will have to prove two inequalities, on one side and on the other side, in order to then conclude on the inequality of the absolute value
idk if u see what i mean by that
mm so suppose x > y and x < y?
ill give it a go
or simply translate the inequality on the absolute value of |x|-|y| into two inequalities on the right and left
(ping me if u reply pls)

im just confused on what this question is asking for
not sure what to do with the two equations
these describe curves with points (x,y) = (x(t), y(t))
the slope of a tangent line to a curve is still dy/dx
except you might find it more useful to use the form
(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)
dy/dx=(dy/dt)/(dx/dt) follows from implicit differentiation
unsure how to get the equation exactly
got this from plugging pi/4 in both
i could just be walked through how to do one of the questions and probably do the rest myself
suppose you have the curve
x(t) = 5 sec(t)
y(t) = 2 tan(t) - 4
then dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt),
dy/dt = 2 sec^2 (t)
dx/dt = 5 sec(t)tan(t)
and you just divide
so 2cost/-2sint
well first, what's dy/dx at the specific t you're interested in?
-1
cool
so the point slope form of a line is\
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
your x1 and y1 will be x(pi/4) and y(pi/4)
m is the slope, which is -1
youre using y'(t) and x'(t) instead of y(t) and x(t)
am i meant to derive it at the end?
cause im assuming tangent means derivative
y = -x + 4/square root 2
that's the book's answer, right?
no the answer key said y = -x + 2(square root 2)
that's taken care of by the slope part
that's the same
mm-hm
ok makes sense

can you tell what are sets of points P and Q? like the how do you describe those?
P looks like circumcentre
that is one of the points
there are many such points, one such example is midpoint of BC
Yea
Agree
Go ahead
well, you go ahead. You still havent answered what I asked
take a pen and paper, draw it out, and try to identify what is so special about those sets of points
Ik what it is
They form a line perpendicular to BC
Whose every point is equidistant from B and C
yes, thats almost correct for P, more specifically, it is the perpendicular bisector of BC
It arises from midpoint BC
P is the perp-bisector of segment BC and Q is the angle bisector of angle A
Now what about Q?
and the answer is 2... says who exactly?
ah shit i spoiled it didnt i
or no
am i missing sth here 
yea I was gonna say thats uncharaacteristic
i think either im wrong about what Q is or op's book is wrong about this answer
nahh, its right
Q
I DIDN'T KNEW THAT ITS WAS ANGLE BISECTOR
it is an angle bisector, but that doesnt mean its gonna be only one line
Wdym
angle bisector can be a line for an internal angle as well as an external angle
and both those qualify for contributing to Q

I have such a quick and easy question but is e^inf indeterminate? And if not why is 1^inf indeterminate
$e^x\to\infty$ as $x\to\infty$
Donkey
Donkey
It's going to 1
in calculus we usually mean smn like base approaches 1 and power approaches infty
1^x = 1 for all x
As a non trivial example consider x^(1/x) near zero
Nvm
That's another interesting limit but not 1^inf
Uh
The limit for e itself IS actually 1^inf
(1+1/x)^x
Yeah but it's a limit IN THE FORM of 1^inf
Sure
Though usually in settings where we actually care about doing operations like 1^infty, then we think of 1 being constant. Same thing with 0*infty = 0 in measure theoretical settings.
1^infty can also be interpreted combinatorially, as the # of functions from say the naturals to a set with one element.
There’s only one such function
But this is probably not what OP is concerned about and is asking about the forms of a limit or whatever it’s called
So this is a good answer for that @simple root

Exactly
i swear these elementary tricks never show up again in lecture notes
this is not really an "elementary trick" imo
well high school
Wdym? It's just a u-substitution. If they chose not to show the full steps is probably because they considered quite easy or taken for granted
There's no trick here, at all
u sub never appeared in any step in my multivar integration lecture ppt
but its in tutorial answers just sayin
What? Are you doing single var or multivar calculus?
multi
Ohh then u-substitution is, of course, taken for granted from single var calc, that's why they didn't show the step

You already have a general expression for the amount of anaesthetic after a certain amount of time
Now you want to find out the time when there's 12mg left
I see but why did he do 10e^-0.2 (t-2) I don’t get the t-2?
Because an additional dose of 10 was given 2 hours after the first
So that part is accounting for that dose
Because the second dose is given in the second hour when we’re at 4 hours from dose 1
Im so confused wokvjsjcjsc thanks for the help btw
It's okay it's okay
Okay let's see it this way
At time t, how many hours has it been since dose 1
No dose?
What's your native language? I could see if there's someone who speaks it
I speak English well I’m just tired cus it’s kinda late here idk I speak Italian too?
It might just be because your tired
Take a rest and look at the problem again with a fresh mindset
Ah yeah you might just be tired
If you still dont understand right now
You sure you cant help me now? My test is in the morning so I need to understand this 🙁
I can try, but it seems to be too much for you rn
Essentially here's the idea
Let's use concrete numbers
The first dose is given at the start, t = 0
The second dose is given 2 hours after the first, t = 2
At some time t, how long has it been since the first dose?
And how long has it been since the second dose?
We aren't giving a concrete time
Just some time t in the future
So the answer must involve t
Is it t-2 cus it will always have been 2 hours later than the first dose?

what is $\int xdF_{\theta}(x)$?
mq
it's used in my math stats book
mr avignon is back
i was about to say lol
do u have a picture of it?
oh god measure theory
yeah that’s what i thought it’s the expectancy
idk how we say in english
blud i haven't done measure theory
(after using the transfert theorem to it)
why the fuck is my prof using this notation none of us know measure theory it's literally not possible take this course before measure theory
For a discrete space, this is the sum of x*P(X=k)
so it's the integral of the x * density function ?
That's the dF_theta part
Yeah
Integral of x*density in calc 1 terms
ohhh and F_theta(x) is just the cumulative distribution function ?
thanks
Ok maybe it's not measure theory
F_theta is uh
Integral of the density
Right
So dF_theta/dx = density function
So to convert from this weird notation to normal stuff you replace dF_theta with density*dx
The set of distributions with finite expected value I guess?

I took the m from the origional equation (in y = mx + b format), so the slope should be 0.5, then i multiplied by 4 bc that's the x number in the point I'm suposed to have the line go through, and then i subtracted the number (2) from the y aces to get the y- intercept. I got y=0.5x+1
the equation of the line is perpendicular to y = 0.5x - 2 right? so the slope of the line must be m2 = -1/m1
then just use point slope form
I got y=2x-5, but that's not right.
--y is math not mathing--
aah
-2, not 2x
so y=-2x+11

What is like the difference between
x and x0 in quadratic equations?
Both lead to equation being 0…
could you provide the question in the context of which you're having this doubt?
Yeah repeated roots vs distinct roots
,rccw
Since you can factor as A(x-a)(x-b) and it could be that a=b
So what’s the difference
What did I do wrong?
@iron marlin
Smh…
There's two roots right
Where
Nonzero discriminant
But can you tell me how i did this incorrectly
Correct discriminant, forgot to write other root
Photo math told me to multiply everything by 4 to remove the fraction…
But that isn’t needed
also forgot to put a in the denominator
Wdym where
Recall quadratic formula
That’s only when Delta = 0
Then when delta is nonzero?
If it’s above 0
If it's above zero (sorry didnt completely register you were only doing real roots)
Ok this is correct
But how do I remove the fraction?
Idk how I do that

Make a recurrence formula and calculate I_n
dont really get what I have to do here
Integrate by parts for the first one
like from a) i get $I_{n} = x^n \cdot e^x - n \cdot I_{n-1}$
(De)Carbonized
i think i should not hope to get a nice closed-form answer for this
I tried repeating IBP and get
$$I_{n} = n! \cdot e^x \cdot \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{x^{k}(-1)^{n-k}}{k!}$$
(De)Carbonized
if there's really no nice closed form of this then i dont get the point of this problem at all

I cannot really do them like I used to
Do you have any question?
i think it's just practice and pattern recognition
just do it on paper with steps and everything
move 1 to 59
110 + 60
eventually throught practice you'll learn to do it in your head
I wonder how fast can you guys do this
- 693 + 7 =700 = 7 * 100
693 = 7 * 99 - 174 + 144 =144 + 144 + 30 = 288 + 30 = 318
it is just pattern recognition
thats the key to mental math of this sort

Let $f(x)=x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$ and $g(x)=x-\frac{1}{x}$, $x\in\mathbb{R}-\left{-1,0,1 \right}$ if $h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ then find the local minimum value of $h(x)$.
T&C
finding the minima of h(x) directly with the help of the first or second derivative tests, leads me to solve a 6 degree polynomial equation. so i thought the minima of h(x) would be where f(x) is minimum and g(x) is maximum. now f(x) is minimum at x=1,-1 and its minimum value is 2, but g(x) is an increasing function throughout its domain. also g is not defined at x=-1,1
idk what to do after this
note, im not allowed to use any graphing calculators and such
$h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}}{x-\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{(x-\frac{1}{x})^2+2}{x-\frac{1}{x}}$

how should i fix it?
you can just directly write the general equation as

and then put in the values and solve

@quaint sky Has your question been resolved?
What is k/r^2 how did you develop this equation
it is literally the inverse square relationship
I see and how did you develop i1/i2 = r2/r1?
wdym develop?
Like why is i2 denominator and r 2 numerator
its the ratio of two equations
equation 1 from I1 and r1
equation 2 from I2 and r2
Yeah but how did we mix the two equations together to produce that one equation
Can you show me
there is nothing to show 😭
I didnt skip any steps there
$I_1 = \frac{k}{r_1^2} \
I_2 = \frac{k}{r_2^2} \
\implies \frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

A ship N₁ is sailing north with a velocity V. At some instant, a ship N2 is located at a distance d northeast of N1. The ship N₂ can sail with a velocity U. Here U < V < √2U. If the ship N₂ moves to catch up with N1, show that there are two directions in which the ship N2 can sail and find the angle between those two directions. Find the difference in the times taken to catch up with the ship moving in those two directions
i have trouble drawing the velocity triangle, we have to draw a velocity triangle with all the info in here and use trigonometry on it to solve these but im having trouble drawing.it would be a big help if someone can help me
observe that $\bar vt - \bar ut = \bar{N_1N_2}$

Numberater is smaller than denominator
Thank yuo
Is it because of x^3 dominates? expression goes to 0
numberater 💀
change the limits to a new variable h which is equal to 1 upon x then place this new variable simplify and get the answer or l hosp whichll cost a lot of time
0
the dominant term on the top is x^(5/2) but on the bottom it's x^3
and x^3 wins
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
congratulations, you suggested a method which you yourself admit is time-consuming and difficult
l hosp is difficult here
its because the bottom has a higher power polynomial
therefore the bottom will significantly grow faster for large x
ok and it is also not necessary. so why suggest it at all.
fine fine continue
This is what I thought, so is this enough to guess a limit and test with epsilon delta proof?
So if lim x⟶∞, notice top or bottom dominant and then function either goes to infinity or 0?
Thank you for your help @stoic saddle @winged tundra @rich isle @sweet pawn
they're forcing you to do epsilon-delta on this? 
"formalise"
can you maybe post the entire exercise
i wanna know what was written to maybe get some idea of what's expected of you
It's for BSc mathematics calculus I./analysis, we are learning epsilon delta definition and limits
and it's absolutely mandatory, under threat of [insert punishment here], that you do it with the full epsilon-delta formalism and nothing else is ever good enough?
I don't know, but for example another exercise is:
Which says "use epsilon delta"
can you confirm from a reliable source whether epsilon-delta is also expected for #4
or #5 or whatever that other one of yours was
I also want to learn to be able to fluently think in this formal language, so
isnt epsilon delta more cumbersome imo
Sure, why are you curious about this, it matters?
i want to know whether i have an excuse to disengage from this mess
if e-d is not absolutely strictly legally required then i can do sth
wrong channel
As I understand so far it's like find the limit in any way and test with epsilon delta, or maybe some other formal way. Are there other formal ways?
For me formal is logical, showing the path from premises to conclusion, maybe
It's not required, do you know other solution?
sure i do. divide numerator and denominator by x^(5/2)
get that $\frac{3x^{5/2} - 5x^2 + 10}{x^3 - x^{1/3} - 2} = \frac{3 - 5x^{-1/2} + 10x^{-5/2}}{x^{+1/2} - x^{-13/6} - 2x^{-5/2}}$
Ann
x^(+1/2) goes to infinity. 3 is just 3. all that other shit is negative powers of x and so goes to 0.
you get 3/(something that goes to +∞), and that -> 0.
Thanks, I found a similar solution factorising x^{5/2} from top
and x^3 from bottom
and see terms tend to what
x^{5/2}/x^3 ⋅ (entre parenthèses) = x^{-1/2} ⋅ A(x)/B(x)
A(x)=3 − 5 x^{-1/2} + 10 x^{-5/2} → 3 lorsque x→∞.
B(x)=1 − x^{-8/3} − 2 x^{-3} → 1 lorsque x→∞.
A(x)/B(x) → 3/1 = 3
x^{-1/2} ⋅ (A/B) → 0 ⋅ 3 = 0.
@delicate aspen Has your question been resolved?
I'm wondering this factoring solution we create sequences and see limit of each and how they combine? What does the factoring do?
f(x) = (3√x⁵ − 5x² +10)/(x³ − x^{1/3} −2)
divide by x^{5/2}:
→ f(x) = x⁻¹ᐟ² ⋅ g(x),
→ g(x) = (3 − 5 x⁻¹ᐟ² + 10 x⁻⁵ᐟ²)/(x¹ᐟ² − x⁻¹³ᐟ⁶ − 2 x⁻⁵ᐟ²)
-
if xₙ → ∞, then xₙ⁻¹ᐟ² → 0
by lemmaif xₙ→∞, then xₙ^α→∞ for α>0, xₙ^α→0 for α<0. -
g(xₙ) → 3
by monotone bound:∀x ≥ X₀, |g(x)| ≤ M finite -
f(xₙ) = xₙ⁻¹ᐟ² g(xₙ) → 0
by limit of product:if aₙ→0 and bₙ→L finite ⇒ aₙ bₙ → 0·L = 0
∴ ∀xₙ→∞, f(xₙ)→0 ⇒ limₓ→∞ f(x) = 0

Can anyone do this please
Yeah , but this seems a bit confusing.
Do we have to turn that number (x^2+2x+1) into a+b whole squared form?
ok so you know how your idea when doing long division on numbers is to subtract as big a multiple of the divisor as you can from the dividend?
Yeah?
e.g. if you were dividing 3887 by 7 your first move would be to subtract 3500, or to put it another way subtract 35 from the first two digits
right so the idea with polynomial division is pretty similar, only it's actually a bit clearer how much to subtract -- you always do that in a way that kills the leading term
Wait , I'm getting the hang of it. Lemme try solving
ok
Looks like I got the remainder for the 9th question , is it -2x-2?
,w (2x^3+3x^2-2x-3)/(x^2+2x+1) quotient and remainder

I got mixed up in my notes I lost which one this is the definition for
I think its for x -> c where the limit is -infinity right?
Like x -> c from both sides not left or right
yep!
because |x - c| < delta is the interval (c - delta, c + delta)
so that approaches x = c from both sides
Ok awesome!
And if it was infinity instead of -infinity it would be m > 0 and f(x) > m, right?
Those would be the only changes to the definition?
yep!
well I mean the 0 is actually arbitrary
Closed by @fickle shell
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
m < 0 implies that the range of the function is at least (-infinity, 0]
so you need to adjust what the 0 is based on the range of your specific function

well, on desmos
well its perimeter of the region
You can try the arc lenght formula
in the integral? 
what do i do for the bounds
my prof was putting them into polar coords for these questions, but i dont know what my r bounds would be
since its not a constant radius
so maybe i wouldnt do polar coords
Plot the two graphs and find the intersection

The coefficients of three consecutive terms in the expansion of (1+a)^n are in the ratio 1:7:42 . Find n.
what should i assume the 3 consecutive terms to be?
Yup kinda
Dont need the exact terms
Just write the general term and replace r with r+1 and r+2 to get next two terms

anyone know what is meant by is there a solution for g(x) = 3/4 where 1> x <2? obviously there is a solution, but the khan academy explanation reasons that because g(1) =1 and g(2)=1/2 the intermediate value theorem applies and thus the solution exists, but is g(x) = 3/4 for any value x? I don't understand what khan academy is trying to say

oh wait
there exists one value
i was looking at the equation
for that

hello hello. so if i wanna find what the sum of all odd naturals up to the nth number equals to, can i just set it equal to the sum of all naturals up to n, minus the sum of all even naturals up to n? and then i find that the sum of all evens is equal to (1+ sum of all numbers up to n)/2 and i put it in our original equation to find the sum of the odds? sorry for explaining in words lol
fijokazż
it feels a bit wrong idk tho
You mean the sum of n odd numbers starting at 1?
It's sum(2k-1) from k=1 to n like you wrote
i also forgot a /2 there but yeah
Which is 2sum(k)-n
But you know sum(k) from 1=n
Simplifying you should get 2sum(k)=n(n+1)
So n(n+1)-n=n^2 is that what you got
huh
Which step are you confused on?
