how would you solve 3k+8 = 26?
is this taiko
ivfce tried k = 6 but that not the answer
because the question isn't asking for an equality
?
since the original is asking for >=, and you didn't multiply or divide by a negative, the sign doesn't change.
the method for solving it is, otherwise, the same as solving an equality.
but the answer maintains the original inequality sign

hello!
why are multiples of dx ignored ?
eg. $\frac{d}{dx}x^2= \frac{2(dx \cdot x) + dx^2}{dx} = 2x + dx = 2x$
why does the dx in $2x + dx$ dissapear ?
i know that it is an "infinitely small" value, and that it is infinitely small compared to any number - but still, it is not zero, thus it should still count
trololol !

could someone please help me with 16
i just dont really know how to find the directional vector
because (6,1,3) when dotted with v is not 0
what if i add the vector (0,-1,0). adding those two dot products together would yield 0
would that work?
the vector equation of a plane is usually its normal vector
and thats just v by the definition

Direction: write a rule for g described by the transformations of the graph of f f(x) = x^2; vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2, followed by a translation 3 units left
now im confused on this question
where would I put the parentheses?
so plus 3
so y= 1/2(x+3)^2

how can i calculate rank of this matrix?
<@&286206848099549185>
what does is mean that columns or rows are linearly independent?
Do you know what linear independence means?
no
well, lastly i didn't pay much attention to university due to depression
and now i'm trying to make it up
soo, i'm figuring it out now
And your first port of call was calculating the rank of a matrix? You should cover some background first
i know two methods
Okay then use one of them
but those methods don't really work in this case
Show your work
i mean, this is already transformed
Okay and so...
Whats the point of doing the row reduction? (Its the correct thing to do but you need to recall the point of doing it)
the point of this is to get Identity matrix
the longest possible one
but i don't see the way how to get one longer than 3x3
<@&286206848099549185>
could you give us the original matrix ?
you can reduce it to
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
1 & 5 & 0 & 6 \
1 & 0 & 7 & 0 \
1 & 8 & 0 & 9 \
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
\end{bmatrix}$
Mehdi_Moulati
since the colmun 0 is the same as the 2 ,4 and 6
let me verifier
yeah it's true
let a and b vectors :
if vector a = K * b where K integer you can delete it
in general :
if i could get a vector using other vectors i could delete it
ok, with this knowledge the rest of this problem is trivial
thanks for help

you mean the first or the last row, right?
yeah
kk
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
1 & 5 & 0 & 6 \
1 & 0 & 7 & 0 \
1 & 8 & 0 & 9 \
\end{bmatrix}$
Mehdi_Moulati
I knew that I can delete rows, but i just didn't know that I also can delete columns
also the column
you just need to prove that the the vectors are all independent
the rank is number of independent vectors
i guess you will find the rank = 4
i don't really know how to do this
yes
wait, one column or one row is a vector, right?
yeah
two columns an test them if they are independent
or
two rows an test them if they are independent
if two vectors (A and B) are dependent when
AX = B
like
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 \
1\
1\
\end{bmatrix}$
X = $\begin{bmatrix}
3 \
3\
3\
\end{bmatrix}$
what is X?
Mehdi_Moulati
a variable
if this system of equations is true then the two vectors are dependent
in this case , X = 3
yes, but i mean, can X be for example a complex number?
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 \
1\
1\
\end{bmatrix}$
X = $\begin{bmatrix}
1 * X \
1 * X\
1 * X\
\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}
3 \
3\
3\
\end{bmatrix}$
Mehdi_Moulati
it's like a system of equations where
$\begin{cases}
1 * X = 3 \
1 * X = 3 \
1 * X = 3 \
\end{cases}$
Mehdi_Moulati
and you trying to find the value of the X
if you find a solution then the vectors are dependent
in this case X = 3 so the vectors are dependent
so i could remove one of them
ok, so for example if
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 \
1\
1\
\end{bmatrix}$
X = $\begin{bmatrix}
1 * X \
1 * X\
1 * X\
\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}
3i \
3i\
3i\
\end{bmatrix}$
Trenek
then X=3i
yeah
$\begin{bmatrix}
1 \
2\
3\
\end{bmatrix}
X
\begin{bmatrix}
5\
10\
15\
\end{bmatrix}$
find the X in this example
Mehdi_Moulati
that right so the vector (1,2,3) and (5,10,15) are dependent
thanks a lot 😊
huh, okay
sometime you need to prove that
A = BX + CY + DZ
where
A ,B ,C and D are vectors
and X,Y and Y are variables
$\begin{bmatrix}
1\
1\
0\
\end{bmatrix}
X
+
\begin{bmatrix}
1\
0\
1\
\end{bmatrix}
Y
+
\begin{bmatrix}
0\
1\
1\
\end{bmatrix}
Z
\begin{bmatrix}
8\
8\
8\
\end{bmatrix}$
Mehdi_Moulati
like this example
the vectors (1,1,0) (1,0,1) (0,1,1) and (8,8,8) are not independent if you find a solution to this system of equations
ok, so we've got
$\begin{bmatrix}
X+Y\
X+Z\
Y+Z\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
8\
8\
8\
\end{bmatrix}$
Trenek
and you need to find the value of X,Y and Z
ok, so it seems that X=Y=Z=4
correct!
then the vectors (1,1,0) (1,0,1) (0,1,1) and (8,8,8) are not independent
indeed
but those vectors (1,1,0) (1,0,1) (0,1,1) are independent
and you can prove it by the same method
$\begin{bmatrix}
1\
1\
0
\end{bmatrix}
X
+
\begin{bmatrix}
1\
0\
1
\end{bmatrix}
Y
=
\begin{bmatrix}
0\
1\
1
\end{bmatrix}$
Mehdi_Moulati
$\begin{bmatrix}
1\\
1\\
0
\end{bmatrix}
X
+
\begin{bmatrix}
1\\
0\\
1
\end{bmatrix}
Y
=
\begin{bmatrix}
0\\
1\\
1
\end{bmatrix}$
```Compilation error:```! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.78
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

ok, so
$\begin{bmatrix}

X\
Y\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
0\
1\
1\
\end{bmatrix}$
Trenek
and this has no solutions
correct
so those vectors are independent
correct
which means that the rank is equal to 3 (number of independent vectors)

If $a_0 = 0, a_n = a_{n-1} + 3 \ \text{or} \ a_{n-1} -2$ what are the possible values of a_{100}
Faq

Can you fix your tex?
Wait why?
$a_0 = 0 \text{ and } a_n = a_{n-1} + 3 \text{ or } a_n = a_{n-1} - 2$
Doggo
Yeah that’s what I said
Oh I only saw the compile error. I didn't know the bot allowed fixing it
so I believe you have 100 different "slots" each of which are either 3 or -2
if it's all 3, then you have 300
all -2, you have -200
Yep
so if a is the number of 3's, b is the number of -2's, you're solving for a + b = 100 right?
you can trade them in multiples of 5
Yeah
If you switch one from -2 to +3, its like adding 5
Ye
Inclusive
I guess that's one way of doing it too
with a + b = 100 you can think of 100 balls separated by a line, and there are 101 slots the line can go in
think a + b = 5, you have balls (O) separated by line (/)
/ O O O O O
O / O O O O
...
O O O O O /
the no. of balls to the left of the line is a, no. of balls to the right is b
3a - 2b given the constraint a + b = 100 is 5a - 200
Tbh I have no clue what you’re talking about
I think I’ll leave it here
Thanks

Small follow up question, i posted a question earlier and received answer:
Q: Im trying to show a row given by b_n = (3n+1)/(n+2) converges. I know the definition and how to apply it when the limit is already known. But we havent done an example in class for when the limit is unknown. Im not sure how to tackle this
A: plug large values of n into a calc and guess the limit
I was wondering whether i could guess the limit by defining a function from R-->R given by b(n) = (3n+1)/(n+2) and applying the limit as defined in calculus to guess the limit for my row.
I think it should be okey since "guessing" isnt all that formal so yk why not use calc, but i cant show that the limit of the function is always a good guess for the limit of the row
just look at the largest powers of n
are you required to use an epsilon-N proof?
Yes i am
for large n its practically 3n/n = 3
wait nvm
im not sure if do? Im supposed to apply the definition of the limit of a row
which is an epsilon definition
i can type it out if thats necessary
not sure what you mean by "of a row"
sequence
Oh sorry in english its a sequence
ah gotcha
in dutch a direct translation would also be row
well if you have to use epsilon-N then you need to figure out the limit by other means (algebra of limits) or long term behaviour like what Gijs said and then do an epsilon-N proof with that value
So calculus wont suffice for a guess for a candidate limit
well you need to know what the limit is to use the definition
so im not sure how you'd use the definition to guess a limit
just take the limit for n to infinity of the function b(n). b(n) being a function from R to R given by b(n) = (3n+1)/(n+2)
then you have a candidate limit and can prove it using epsilon-N
theres no need to consider it as a function
just find the limit of the sequence in any way you know how
for example dividing the top and bottom by n
Hmm okey, that follows from the algebra of limits then?
specifically that the limit of the qoutient of two sequences is the limit of the dividend divided by the limit of the divisor
yes as long as everything converges
limit of quotient is quotient of limit
limit of sum is sum of limit
But then dont i have to prove that the numerator and denominator are sequences aswell
they dont both converge tho, the denominator diverges
did you do this or not
No but thats not the issue, i can see and i know that the limit is 3. Im just asking about how to guess that as a candidate.
Where im stuck is that, if i divide the top and bottom by n, im implying that both the numerator and denominator are sequences. Dont i have to prove that before i can divide by n?
why would you have to prove anything before dividing by n?
(3n+1)/(n+2) on its own is just an expression, we can do what we want to it
Can i claim its still the same sequence then?... We've never really defined operations on sequences in class.
But ig we defined them as functions so that works
But still, then id have to plug in large values to estimate the limit. Imagine i had a differrent sequence say a_n given by 1/a. Then i cant use the algebra of limits to guess a limit.
Using calculus for the function a: R-->R: a-->1/a i can guess a limit tho
Okey i think im just going to far with this. I'll rethink it tommorow when im not so sleepy haha
thanks for the help!

hi
how to go from top to the bottom one?O.o
thats the way i understand
no idea how the other one i supposed to work though :(!
also thank you
You can do L'hopitals rule but this checks out
since he tried to factor out x^2, he was able to cancel it
Then it produced an equation with x as a denominator and anything divided by infinity is 0
So this one also checks out

,w diff sqrt(x) sin(x)
So the way I did it on the blackboard is incorrect?
it's the same
So for a problem like this, I’d use chain rule?
yes
For a problem like this, I know my f(x) and thus also my f’(x), but how do I get my g(x)..?
Anyone?
Like how would I apply the chain rule here?
So 5x^2+4x+2? is the g of x?
yes
isn’t that also our f of x?
f(x) is root(g(x))
🤔
So f(x) is g( ) except it’s under a radical?
What is root x here, isn’t it radical (5x^2+4x+2)?
to do chain rule you have an inside function and an outside function.
you have root(g(x))
the root( ) is the outside function
so when you take the derivative, you'll take the derivative of the root( ), leaving the inside function alone.
and then multiply by the derivative of the inside
So I’d multiply 5x^2+4x+2 by 10x+4?
In this section we discuss one of the more useful and important differentiation formulas, The Chain Rule. With the chain rule in hand we will be able to differentiate a much wider variety of functions. As you will see throughout the rest of your Calculus courses a great many of derivatives you take will involve the chain rule!
look through some of the worked examples there
Don’t understand. I understand how g(z)=5z-8, but how is f(z)= radical z?
Why do we decide that it’s radical z?
So in my case for this problem my f(x)=(radical (x))?
yes
And from there the derivative would be 1/2(radical (x))?
yes
So it would be something like this?:
So it would be like this right?
Like, I’d my process here correct?
As in, I’d get 5x+2/(radical (5x^2+4x+2))?

How would I solve this?
so here
it gives you f(0) = 0
and its asking for the derivative of the total composition derivatigve
try substituting 0 in for x in the composition and see what you get
so you'll have f(3f(4f(0)))
@heavy laurel Has your question been resolved?
Yup
And f(0)=0, therefore I’d get f(3f(4(0)?
Right?
Then we get f(3(0)..
and then.. ?
F(0)=0..
and you are given the derivative at x = 0
So the answer is -2?

Ok so m is parallel to m
okok
And they are being intercepted by the same line
So a good way to start would be to find the angle like to the right yk right next to the one which is 142°
(It's been so long I forgot the names)
can someone check me on this adjacent angle of 142 is 180-142 = 38 since they are linear pair
x = 38 because alternate angle
and again solving for y we get 180-38(linear pair) = 142
OHHH
i thought u were asking for someone elses herlp here
sry
Oh well u got it?
Ok so same process as the other, because they are parallel and being intercepted by the same line
They are like corresponding angles or whatever they are called
Y is a vertical angle to 59° so that will be the same
x is a special angle and will also be the same as angle 59°

what have you tried?
@whole ermine
which step are you struggling with
also dont ping helpers before 15 minutes
and if you do, only ping once
@whole ermine
you there?
alright, i got to go
before i go let me give you some hints:
1)
rewrite the left hand side as a sum
2)
prove it for n=1
3)
now look at n+1
on the left we will have a sum from i=1 up to n+1
rewrite this sum by pulling out the last term, the one with i=n+1
that will give you a sum from i=1 up to n, for which we already proved it, thus we can substitute something in
then show equality by rearranging

kinda dumb question
let's say you have 4 teams in a tournament and you want each team to play each other team exactly once
how do you approach this from a combinatorics perspective
is the correct calculation just:
(4-1) + (4-2) + (4-3) + (4-4)
Matches for A: B,C,D
Matches for B excluding A: C,D
Matches for C excluding A and B: D
Matches for D: (none)
yeah that checks out
so in general we could just say
ooh
thanks for that that's actually very helpful
it did not occur to me to treat this geometrically
does it answer ur question
so now we have transformed the combinatorics problem into a geometry problem. so just the number of side lengths of an n sided polygon plus the number of diagonals
im not sure what ur tryna calculate rn lmao
so now the question is just how many diagonals a polygon has
i'm just trying to generalize here
$\sum_{k=1}^n (n-k) = n^2 - \frac{1}{2}(n)(n+1)$
Mr. Gamer
ok there we go that's the formula

induction looks reasonable
can you explain how to do the step?
well what do you have so far?
can you be more specific on what you don't understand?
the questions
do you know what induction is? is there another method you're being asked to use to prove it?
my madam said we need to do the calculation, but idk how
can you explain to me or not?
i mean it doesn't really look like you've thought about this problem much so far
i am happy to explain, but you have not given me much context on what you do know or what you think you may need to do to prove it
assume that P(k) was true, then would proceed to show that P(k+1) must also be true too?
like that or how
yes, that is induction

Can someone tell me how this can be a one-one function?
if g(x1) = g(x2) implies x1=x2 only then g(x) will be one-one
@west brook Has your question been resolved?
Yea, but how do I solve the equation. Cross multiplication, I assume. But do I change the X’s in the equation with X1 and X2?
If so, how do I solve the equation with that
yes obviously
multiply and open brackets
some terms will get cancelled
like x1x2
(4x1 - 7) x (2x2 + 3) right?
maybe we can simplify the function
g(x) = 2 -13/(2x+3)
2-13/(2x1+3)= 2-13/(2x2+3)
then you get
2x2+3 = 2x1+3
x1=x2

does taking a derivative here affect the 1/2?
@wanton sentinel Has your question been resolved?
shouldnt constants be 0
derivative of a constant is 0
Differentiation is a linear operation, it doesn't matter if you times by a constant before or after differentiating
You can "pull the constant out" of the derivative
is it cuz its a ln?
10x
ah i seee
constants are zero if they are alone?
Yes which is 5(2x)
1+x for example
Yes the derivative of a constant is zero
But obviously 5x² is not a constant
Nor is a constant times ln(2x+1)
yes yes i got it now
so whenever there is a constant multiplied i can just put it out of the differentiation
You can indeed
Alright thanks

$\int \frac{2x+1}{x^2-1}$
Derek ♡
split numerator
2x/x^2-1 is f'(x)/f(x) = log(f(x))
1/x^2-1 is direct formula 1/2(log(x-1)/(x+1))
why on sloving partial fraction and doing simply give diffrent answers
i did this
ohh
expressions may differ by a constant
Rational exponent anyone
i think they are diffrent
show work
ah they did by partial frac
and i am getting log |x^2 -1 | + 1/2 log (x-1)/(x+1)
mhm
solution shouldn't have that x^2/2 in there
and then log laws should get something equivalent
i tried
prod to sum
and quotient to difference
I was wondering what topic is that
yeah ik that
coefficient goes to power
and that stuff
but if i solve just by splitting terms is my answer right?
why to overthink

Hello, can someone please help me understand why this result is true ?
can you translate this?
Sure
Doesn’t say much, just asks us to "define" g’(t) using the partial derivatives of f
"Définie par" means defined on
I’m fairly sure i have the right expression but i don’t really understand the logic behind it.
well this is just chain rule isn't it
I guessed it must be linked to that yes, but i can’t quite see which composition we’re talking about ?

where did they get tan60 from the equation? i recognize that tan60 = sqrt3 but im not sure how i can get to that
@tranquil pine
hi
you need to post the question or we don't know what's going on
uh huh
yes
how do you go from sqrt3 to tan60
BC = 12sqrt(3)
AC = 12
BC/AC = sqrt(3)
so tan(BAC) = sqrt(3)
then if tan of an angle is sqrt(3) and the angle is less than 180, the angle has to be 60 degrees
this is just a fact
i see so i just need to know it

How would you write the prove to this?
A EQUIVALENT A
Equivalent being denoted by the three line equals
What are you even asking
How would you write the mathematical prove for this statement
A|=A
Im assuming this. I say if A equivalent to itself then it can be said that A is a logical consequence of it self. 🤔
well on what level are you doing logic
this is either trivial or might be pretty hard
I think it's trivial I'm probably over thinking it and just confusing myself

ytboy
<@&286206848099549185>
Plug in beta = 90-alpha and use sum/difference formula
how
i cannot understand
sin(beta) = sin(90-alpha)
Solve for beta first
, , \frac {sin\alpha + cos\alpha} {sin\alpha} = tan\alpha + 2tan\beta
ytboy
what after it
I'd work on the right side actually
hmm then
, , \frac {sin\alpha + sin\beta} {sin\alpha} = tan\alpha + 2tan (90 -\alpha)
?
ytboy
Right. You just need to express tan in terms of sine and cosine and then use difference angle formula
wait lemme do
, , \frac {sin\alpha + sin\beta} {sin\alpha} = \frac { sin\alpha } { cos\alpha} + 2cot\alpha
ytboy
see @vital crag
, , \frac {sin\alpha + sin\beta} {sin\alpha} = \frac { sin\alpha } { cos\alpha} + 2 \frac { cos\alpha } { sin\alpha}

Given that P(A)=0.8 , P(B)=0.6 and P(AANDB)=0.40 . Are the events A and B independent?
Context not clear enough
Because I got 0.48 for P(A and B)
so they’re dependent
If they independent, then the probability would’ve been 0.48
But the question gave 0.4
ohhhh
one more question
this would be dependent right
since its 1/20 then 1/19
or wait
it would be independent since its replaced right?
yes

A connected graph with N nodes has at least N-1 edges. Does that imply that a non-connected graph with N nodes has at most N-1 edges?
my brain isn't braining anymore
it doesn't tell you anything about a disconnected graph
degenerate example: 3 nodes, and 50 edges between the same 2 nodes
i see, what if we restrict ourselves to simple graphs (no multiple edges)?
or a less stupid example for simple graphs: 5 nodes, 4 of the nodes form a complete graph K4 with 6 edges

Heyy.
So I came to show my work for a answer, I know I could just calculate but I don’t have a calculator on my phone plus I can’t download it since don’t remember my AppStore password but here is my work.
Is this true?
yeah
oh mk ty
You can use google, google is a calculator
oh yeah i forgot but i still need to show my work.
Yes, and?
I have a milestone benchmark practice next week.
You do the problem like what you did and use google to check your answer
Caculators only give me answers not work.
Yes, and? Like I stated, you can do the work on your own, get some answer, then use a calculator to check
If you get what the calculator gets, then the work is correct
If it's different, either you typed it into the calculator wrong or you did the math wrong
Sorry, I don’t do that plus like I said I have a millestone benchmark graded practice next week and I can’t just calculate it I rather show my real work. discussion ended.
Yes, and?
what dldh is saying is that u can do ur own work
but to check if ur answer is right or not
use a calculator
it’s just for checking
k I’ll do that.
You can do the work yourself, and you can check your final answer using a calculator instead of relying on others to do it for you

oh thx
Not inverse it
never thought of that
Take the reciprocal
yeah thats what I meant
Idk how to implicit e^(x/y)
sec lemme try
Lmk what you got when you differentiate only e^(x/y)
e^(x/y)(y-xy')/y^2
Yeah
and on the other side i have 1-y'
Yes
2
y=2x-1
yeah thats the answer
Thanks for the hel
help
appreciate it

How many solutions a polynomial will have if it's degree is -1
You mean the amount of solutions to a + b/x = 0?
Yes you could say but not specifically a+b/x I was talking about any type of polynomial with highest power 1 and unique power -1
So ax + b + c/x = 0?
1/x=0
1/x = 0 has no solutions
But why?
Let's assume there is a solution
If we see the graph
Ok
Hm
