Nope
Ok but if it was 1/x=1 or any number less than or greater than zero then there would be only one solution right?
1/x = k has a solutions for all k except 0
So yeah
This comes from the fact that 1/x = k is equivalent to 1 = kx
And kx = 1 has a solution iff k is nonzero
Wtf is wrong with my typing
So in this graph we could see that if
x=0 then the solutions would be -infty and +infty but if this fraction has only one solution then x=0 is not possible
Can I explain 1/0 with this contradiction
Wdym by explaining 1/0?
Means explaining, 1/0 is undetermined
Assume 1/0 = a
Then, by definition, 1 = a * 0
But that leads to 1 = 0
By the definition of 0
𝓐𝓡𝓝𝓐𝓑 𝓟𝓐𝓛
How is you 0^- defined?
And
$\frac{1}{0^{+}}$
𝓐𝓡𝓝𝓐𝓑 𝓟𝓐𝓛
It is used in limits
Ik, but you need to define it
A number which is less then 0 but really really really close to 0
If you mean $\lim_{x\to{0^-}}\frac{1}{x}$, then it's $= -\infty$, but technically the limit doesn't exist
A Lonely Bean
Means it is undefined too
Yeah
Ok thanks
Cause my teacher
Asked me when I was at quiz
She asked that
What's 1/infinity
I said undefined
But she said that it is zero
And I got negative marking too
🥲
Thank you btw
We don't define infinity so 1/infinity isn't defined as well
But the limit of 1/x as x approaches infinity or minus infinity is 0
Oh ok
Means 1/infty =0
And my another teacher said 1/0=infinity
I knew it was totally wrong
And infinity isn't defined
As a number
You can say that the limit is infinity
But the limit technically still does not exist

Hi, how can use a taylor polynomial to find an aproximate solution of an equation
I had x*e^y-ln(y)=0 and I had to find the second order taylor polynomial for x_0=0
I got P_2(x)=1+e*x+(e^2)/(2) x^2
and I have to find a solution for the equation e^y - 50*ln(y)=0 with it
What have you tried
nothing yet, I dont really know how they are related to each other
I mean, both equations, the one I found the taylor for, and the second I have to solve are pretty similar
Well, what happens if you multiply xe^y - ln(y) = 0 by 50?
ye I get sth similar
What do you get?
but Ill have 50*x*e^y-50ln(y)
And we want e^y - 50ln(y)
oh so for x=50?
So what value of x makes 50xe^y = e^y
x=1 sorry
x = 1 gives 50e^y - 50ln(y)
Yes
So if you multiply the taylor polynomial by 50 and plug in x = 1/50, you'll have your approximate value of y
so solve the polynomial for 1/50=x
oh ok, Ill try that
makes sense, ty
ye solved, thx again

for a) I would just set up the characteristic polynomial
right
from which I got x^2 - x - a
but for what values of that polynomial does it have a double root
look at its discriminant
or complete the square
ah ok

Does anyone know how to do this?
We have to use the properties of logarithms to solve the problem
But I don't know how to solve this specific question
the "e" is throwing me off
Don't forget that $\ln=\log_{e}$
chartbit
okay
ln(a)=b means
e equals a if taken to the power of b
so in our case
e equals e^4.5 if taken to which Power?
from this we can also see that e^x and ln(x) are inverse of each other
i still don't really get it
i understand that those r inverses
if f and g are inverse of each other then f(g(x))=x

This is just a practice test
But I’m confused on how I should approach this question
<@&286206848099549185>
no?
yes, you can factor x^2 into both?
joyousbanana
yup, and you get $x^2 (x+1)$
joyousbanana
So now, you have a perfect square, you can factor that out of the square root
and remember the condition given
that $x>0$
joyousbanana
See if you can do it from here
yep, I'm still lost
joyousbanana
we simply just factored that
so the x^2 would cancel? since its inside the square root?
oh.
joyousbanana
Try to do the same thing for the other square root
$4 \sqrt{x+1}$
KermitWilks
i got this
nice, but u have to take the square root of 4
2
yup, so u get $2 \sqrt{x+1}$
joyousbanana
yep, I just missed typed
joyousbanana
would the 2 sqaure roots cancel?
not exactly
they would combine
but not cancel out
how bout this
let $y = \sqrt{x+1}$
joyousbanana
im lost
factor
KermitWilks
you got it!
so basically
if x<0
the square root would have to become negative
but since it's positive
oh I get it
we can keep it positive

Hey, I know that you can have complement of a binary number but does decimal numbers also have this?
sure, you can do something similar. Not sure if it has many uses though
instead of doing 2^n-num, you do 10^n-num
Wdym something similar, how would it work, since I don't find anything about it on google
Oh, I thought it would work something like 25 = -25
thats not true in binary either
its just a convention for compsci
(because computers represent negative numbers using the first bit or something)
Hmm I see, thanks gonna look up on that :). Is there a mathematical operation for changing the + to a -, if so what is it called?
multiplying by -1?
No native ones, like for example absolute of a number?
wdym native?
😅 sorry been doing some programming lately, I mean like a special operator specially for that operation

Can two complex vectors be parallel? If yes, how can I find whether they are?
(With complex vectors I mean vectors with complex components)
@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?
My assumption is that the condition of parallelism between two complex vectors exists, since the orthogonality condition also exists. But the orthogonality condition relies on the dot product, which has different definitions for complex spaces, while the parallelism condition doesn’t so I’m somewhat unsure. For 3D vectors it should be possible to check the parallelism condition by using the complex cross product formula; but what about other directions?

oh
Well yes, bc that determines what you mean by parallel
The usual notion of parallel is just the one that comes from the usual euclidean inner product
But the word carries over to any inner product
But doesn’t this hold only if both vectors are normalized? (we can continue in #linear-algebra btw, mb)

how could you apply non-Euclidean geometry to space? im looking at possibly creating a mathematical model to represent an elliptical orbit of a planet in space.
i dont get your qstn sir/mam
u wanna apply this in space where there is no curvature ?
i dont know much about the topic, but what do you think of it?
well as far as i know u need a sphere to continue the non-euclidean geometry
by sphere i mean there should be a curve
like the universe in general
well 4D space time is non-euclidean
well that seems like a topic to not discuss haha
even 3D space is non-euclidean with enough mass present
the application here is just the application of differential geometry in physics
could a mathematical model be made to display this?
well yes and thats literally what they do
uummmm...yeah possibly
differential geometry and how its applied in general relativity
the BASIC basic u know
alright thank you to the both of you! Have a great day!

Okay @thorn zodiac
This is going to take a bit but
First things first
Apply addition formula of $\sin(A+B) = \sin(A)\cos(B)+\sin(B)\cos(A)$
♡LexQa♡
What do you have now
from arccos I got a=1 b= sqrt3 and c = 2 so what would I do with this? im really unfamiliar with arc stuff
What you wrote doesn't make much sense to me. Can you try to write the thing into this form?
If you need help with that I can guide you
yes please
What is our A and B in this
A and B in context to this
would A=arccos1/2 and B= arctan 1/5
sin(arccos1/2)
Until you have this form
Can you write it out fully to me
You there?
Yes one sec
Alright
(sin(arccos1/2) x cos(arctan1/5)) + (sin(arctan 1/5) x cos(arccos 1/2))
Yes
Alright
So let's evaluate them one by one
First, sin(arccos(1/2))
Let's find what arccos(1/2) is first
Do you have an idea? @thorn zodiac
It's basically asking for what angle of cos that would give you 1/2
pi/3
Correct
oh 60
No keep it radians
oh okay
0?
No
sqrt3/2
Correct
So we have
Sqrt(3)/2 x cos(arctan1/5)) + (sin(arctan 1/5) x cos(arccos 1/2))
Next
cos(arctan(1/5))
This is going to be a bit trickier to explain. But I think the geometric explanation is best
I want you to draw a right triangle @thorn zodiac
I have drawn a right triangle
♡LexQa♡
And draw a theta at one of the two angles
yes
Also assume $x = \frac{1}{5}$
♡LexQa♡
Anyways, I want you to take tan of both sides of this, what do you have
im not understanding
We have theta = arctan(x) correct ?
this is saying that arctan(1/5) = arctan (1/5) so im confused
yes
Yeah that's why it is an equality is it not ahaha
You will see why in a bit
What do you have after taking tan of both sides?
1/5?
Keep it as x, I am deriving a general formula for you
It's the longer way, but I'm trying to make you understand how to do any future problem like this
So anyways, tan(theta) = x is what we have now right? @thorn zodiac
yes
opp/adj
Exactly
We have tan(theta) = x/1
Our opposite is x and our adjacent is 1
Can you write those down
On the triangle u drew
Yes
2x
No
That's improper usage of Pythagorean theorem
You have $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$ as the Pythagorean theorem, from that we say $c^2= 1 + x^2$
Pain this bot
But do you understand?
sqrt 1^2 + x^2 = c
thats what i did
It's sqrt(1+x^2)
oh i dont add them together
Now we want to find cos(theta)
okay i understand
What is that from the triangle?
1/2?
Nono
Your adjacent is 1
Your hypotenuse is sqrt(1+x^2)
Cos(theta) = adj/hyp
This means..
oh yes cos(theta) = 1/sqrt1+x^2
arctan(1/5)
What is x?
1/5
Right. Now can you substitute those values back in the equation
And we can do it now
( sin(pi/3) x cos(theta) ) + ( sin(theta) x cos (pi/3) )
Yes
But we are doing cos(theta)
So
Cos(arctan(1/5)) = 1/sqrt(1+(1/5)^2) right?
Yes
Okay.
Evaluate it please
Make it a simple fraction with the square root in the denominatorif possible
= 1/ sqrt1.04
1/sqrt 26/25
yes typo my bad
Okay so now we have
sqrt(3)/2(sqrt(26/25) + sin(arctan(1/5)) * cos(pi/3)
For the sin one, refer back to the triangle u made
What is it going to be
sin(sqrt26/25) ?
sin = (1/5) / sqrt 1+x^2
Yes!!
Well just make it 1/5 for x in the square root as well
Now compute that
Keep it in fraction form
Tell me what u get
Yes that's gonna be 1/5(sqrt(26/25)
Okay
Finally last thing
Cos(pi/3)
Whats that
1/2
Right
So we have
sqrt(3)/2(sqrt(26/25) + 1/(10(sqrt(26/25))
Now it's simplifying time
how exciting
5
at the end shouldnt it be sqrt(26) / 5
uh yes
Anyways we take the 5 to the numerator because complex fractions to get
5sqrt(3)/2(sqrt(26) + 1/2(sqrt(26)
For both, you can rationalize the denominator
But multiplying by conjugate
But this answer is also good enough
Up to u
Yes, thank you for your help
i have more problems i need help with if youre up for it
I'm so dead tired I need to sleep
go to sleep

Trying to solve a question with the method below(picture), except my math equation is:
35x ≡ 1 mod 3
When I want to start, I get:
x ≡ 1/35 (mod 3)
x ≡ 35^-1 (mod 3)
but then,
3 ≡ ... ? How do I continue if my mod is a smaller number than 35
well first it would be helpful to reduce 35 mod 3
but ok I guess you don't want to?
you can still do the euclidean algorithm as usual
3 = 0*35 + 3
35 = 11*3 + 2
etc

E infinite dimensions normed vector space, F a subspace of
finite dimensions
if x is in E and not F, can i find y in F such that d(x,F)=d(x,y)?
and why?
F is closed
yes
does it suffice to take the orthogonal projection of x onto F?
get a sequence of elements in F which approach that infimum
i dont think that would work
well if you have an inner product, sure
if i have an inner product it works?
otherwise talking about anything "orthogonal" doesn't make sense
AH
why not
now if yn converges i am done
the problem is that i have no clue if it does
except.... is it because my space is complete that it converges?
Ok orhtogonal doesnt make sense but cant i just take a basis for F and stick it with the corresponding coeficients of my x vector, and call it y
without "projection"
and then y surely exists

y^2 = xarctan(1/x) how to sketch this?


whens your interview?
8;40 tmr
faq finally doing some graph sketching 

I know said you won't get in but try your best you got this. Youll buy me a meal if you get in.
anyway
Wow so wholesome
xarctan(1/x) is even
so we have a graph which is symmetrical about the x and y axis
also
arctan(x) = tan(x) = x for small x
ie. arctan(1/x) = 1/x for large x

so y^2 approaches 1 as x appraoches infinity
arctan(1/x) + arctan(x) = sign(x) pi/2

Right
It’s
Like a reflected paragola
That approaches 1 and -1
Near 0 it acts like y=+-sqrt(pi/2x)
yes a paragola
gives him tips
i don have any tips 
Okay calm
when you have a graph sketching problem its often helpful to look at the first few terms of expansion
the interviewers are also likely to ask for the behaviour near 0


Also if you see a problem that youve seen before don't do it like instantly
act like you struggle a little bit
it's deceitful but a good trick
they want to see how you approach a problem youve never seen before
so if you know the questions and do them instantly
theyll ask harder questions
so

and if they do give you harder questions (that you arent sure about), talk through your thought process (eg do some examples etc)
make something up
waffle
solve a simpler problem that looks similar
if you have no idea just ask for hints
Hmm I see
is it an online intervieqw
Yes
idk how much practice youve done but youve been doing a lot of number theory (MO) problems
quietly type your question here and spam ping pure 
i dont think thosell help (at all)

riemann
x^2
no
(1/4)x^2
riemann
(1/4)x
((1/4) x)^2 = x^2 / 16
uhm
$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2 = \frac{a^2}{b^2}$
riemann
I'm not seein' it
looks like you factored a 4 out
basically
somehow
4 x ? = x^2
I have no idea
riemann
huh, ok
multiply through to show that it's equal to 4+x^2
seems to be
can you fill in the question mark now?

x/2
right
you can factor out 4 from the integral using the constant rule
then use a simple u-sub to get to an integral you're familiar with
screams arctan
define "trig problem"
it's only a trig sub if you haven't been taught it before
but you should have been taught
,w integral 1/(1+x^2)
ah
if you haven't seen this, then yes you need to derive it

this is in my textbook's table of integrals
so if I factor out the a
it's just arctan(u)
or arctan(x)
a=1
right
$\int \frac{du}{1^2 + u^2} = \frac{1}{1}arctan(\frac{u}{1} ) + C$
hibyehibye
$\int \frac{du}{1 + u^2} = arctan(u) + C$
hibyehibye
,w diff 1/4 * arctan(x/2)
you have to modify your dx to du when doing your u-sub
oh, I forgot to u-sub
you can also just straight use this from the beginning
$4 + x^2 = (?)^2 + x^2$

Hello, does the solution set for csc^2x + cot^2x = 0 include two answers, or just one?
I looked the problem up on mathway and symbo lab and the answer is only giving a solution set for when cotx = -1
I solved the problem by using trig identities to sub csc^2x for 1 + cot^2x and solved from there
so I had one side = -1 and the other = 0
Think about the range of each term
What do you mean
The interval notation im working with is 0, 360 FWI
so my solution set should be {0, 180, 135, 315}
oh yeah u right
cot cannot be 0
undefined at zero
wait
no
thats not right
cotangent is all real numbers
@void needle Has your question been resolved?
@dry light range is irrelevant when given an interval
because your range is the interval
there are places on the unit circle between 0-360 degrees where cot is 0
so im probably doing the problem wrong
The range will tell you whether or not it can even equal 0
The problem is this
csc^2(x)'s range is y >= 1
cot^2(x)'s range is y >= 0
@void needle you understand this right
Because that means the range of cot^2(x) + csc^2(x)'s range is y >= 1
So it'll never equal 0

I'm doing a final review sheet for calc 2. This problem is a bit challenging:
What have you tried
I get to the part of setting up the integral, but I am unsure how to evaluate it.
Right now I have this:
I tried to factor in the square and I end up with:
then combining terms I get
but this seems really complicated
Notice √(x⁶) can be simplified and x¹² + 2x⁶ + 1 can be factored
And √(4) can be simplified
Also, are you sure that's correct? WA says that's a different function from the original
Nvm
It's correct
I typed it wrong
Refer back to this
so the 4x^6 (what is the markup syntax for superscripts?) can be turned to 2x^3 right
did you use latex here?
On my phone, if I press and hold the numbers, I can write them
there's a quick way to do this
ah
notice how when you expand the square
the middle term you get is -1/2
but once you add on the 1
it becomes 1/2
right
what that amounts to is switching the - to a + in the original square
so the bracket here
so you can refactor the whole thing
so it now becomes 1 + (x^3/2 + 1/2x^3)?
oh right
to make the - into a +
interesting
and now you can just root the whole thing
is that always the case for these problems?
that is a really nice shortcut
when you root don't forget to add absolute values
and carefully consider your domain of integration to see if you can remove them
in this case you're good but sometimes the thing you're squaring might be negative
yeah I'm not sure how to even factor the x^12 + 2x^6 + 1
if you make a substitution of u = x^6 it just becomes u^2 + 2u + 1
that you should know how to factor
ah yeah that is a lot easier
@grim nebula I got -15/12 with the method you showed me
I think the answer is supposed to be 33/16
I figured it out, thanks you two

I have a question regarding the binomial distribution.
While graphing things out in Desmos, I am realizing that the more trials there are, regardless of what p is, the distribution starts tending to be more and more symmetric:
Can someone explain to me why that is? Trying to find any intuition, pure English, algebraically, etc. are fine.
And of course, ignoring the line going jank onto the left (or the right if p > 0.5)
Intuitively, it doesn't make that much sense. A binomial distribution for a weighted coin intuitively should be skewed even under infinite trials, but the graphs don't seem to represent that, and I'm wondering where in my intuition am I wrong.
It seems like I'm not the only one coming to this conclusion...
it depends on what you mean by 'skewed'
for larger n the binomial becomes symmetric about the mean, which is np
so it moves with more trials
np meaning?
n times p
Ah
with a few trials it starts heavily skewed, with more trials it starts to even out and become more symmetric with extremes becoming equally unlikely
central limit theorem might be worth looking at but i’m not sure how much intuition it would give

Where did the e disappear
In the derivative
And just eliminate it with the Numerator and take out constants
@grand axle Has your question been resolved?
You also erased the -0.1 from the derivative
You have 100 ÷ 0.1
That's not
10
It is 100 ÷ -0.1
Just I was speaking about the actual division
that's why I omitted the negative sign
Just
Take another substitution
v = 1 + u
And take out the -1000 out
You can just say $\int c\cdot f(x)dx = c\int f(x)dx$
♡LexQa♡
Where c is some constant
@grand axle Has your question been resolved?
I think you should've substitute $v=1+u$ instead of $v=\left( 1+u \right) ^{2}$
Welf
so next you'll have $\int \frac{1}{v^{2}}\text{d}v$
Welf
That's what I meant originally indeed
It's just $-1000\int\frac{1}{v^2}dv$
♡LexQa♡
♡LexQa♡
You are like so close to it my guy
Integrate this
It's just the power rule for polynomials
Remove the integral sign because u already got it
Comes with experience I guess? You just realise what to do
Becuz for example
you were able to eliminate the numerator with that derivative
Which helps

why is this 0, it feels like its indeterminante
because its 0/0
but i think if its like x/x^2
it diverges somehow

I have 44 socks in my drawer, each either red or black. In the dark I randomly pick two socks, and the probability that they do not match is 192/473. How many of the 44 socks are red?
i dont know whre to start
the probability is larger than 1 
aight so
Fun problem
we have x red socks
you can work it out algebraically
44-x black socks
then its probably easier to calculate the probability that you grab matching socks
and do 1 - that
wait what i lost u afterthis
probably not so much if you end up running to work in an unmatched pair of socks
,w x^2 -44x + 946 = 384
oh
complex socks
@near gull Has your question been resolved?
,w x^2 - 88x + 768 = 0
im so confused lol
okay so I made some progress
44C2 is 946, so there are 946 possible combinations of socks, right?
now, if you multiply the numerator and denominator of 192/473 by 2, you get 384/946
so there are 384 possible non-matching pairs of socks
therefore, 562 possible matching pairs of socks
the thing is that they could be or both red or both blue
hmm
what if we tried to find how many possible matching pairs of socks there are IN TERMS of how many red socks there are, and then solve for how many red socks there are
yup this is just what I was trying earlier
no idea
@near gull Has your question been resolved?
i kinda get what ur tryna do but im still confused

Having trouble with this one. I think I'm calculating the flux through z=0 and z=2 wrong, because when I use the flux of the two z and the closed surface to find the flux through x^2 + y^2 = 9, I get 54pi, but when I specifically solve for the flux through x^2 + y^2 = 9 to verify, I get 0

question 10, i don't know what i'm supposed to do, is there even an inverse to that function?
Then factorisation?
x^4 is a common factor in both x^4 and x^7 so you can take it out of the equation and factorize
x^4 * 1 = x^4 and
x^4 * x^3 = x^7
Yea but I think first you have to get it where only one variable is x
I think
Yeah i get that
