I was considering doing the discriminant to answer this question
That would be the way to go.
ok but I want to ask a question about the mark scheme
Ok
I will send it in a sec
warning: I don’t know what a mark scheme is
wait sorry I think I understood the mark scheme
sorry for wasting time
lmao

For (1), the forward direction is easy to show
The backwards direction, assume (S2n) converges.
it seems like you have got it down
lol no, i'm kinda stuck
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
(It is obvious, but you need to show it anyway)
for the reverse consider cauchy condensation test
the forward direction is easy, since (S2n) is a subsequence of Sn, and we know Sn converge. Hence (S2n) also converges
that does use a result we proved in lecture
For the backwards direction
hm
.
wait actually that might not work
bleh
im not familiar with that one
ooh try contradiction
Assume (S2n) diverges.
wrong assumption
do you want to SHOW?
that would be the contradiction, wouldnt it?
do you think that's how proof by contradiction works?
Well, I thought you assume not(thing you want to prove), then derive a contradiction
so we want to show (Sn) converge, so we assume it diverges
ah ok
it should already be in your assumptions when proving by contradiction
i see
Well, we were given the limit of an goes to 0
i wonder if we can argue using something like (Sn) = (S2n) + (S2n+1)
Or like
$S_{2n+1}$
KN
KN
taking the limit of that, since $a_{n}$ and $a_{2n+1}$ are coming from the same sequence, they should both go to 0.
KN
so just take the limit

For number 10, what field should I be drawing scalars from to demonstrate scalar multiplication is closed?
Would it be F, or F^n, or something else??
Doesn't say to identify the subspaces, just show they are subspaces
Use the definition of subspace
Hmmm what if the definition of subspace in the book contains mention of the field for which it is a subspace over?
Yea so check addition and scalar multiplication for W1
The sentence after the definition should immediately tell you why W2 isn't a subspace
Right I know for sure why W2 is not a subspace! To check scalar multiplication tho, don’t we need a scalar from the field for which W1 is a subspace over?
F is the scalar field

Wait, I’ve gotten much help on this problem 10 already but I’m still having trouble. To show W1 is closed under addition, we check that two vectors of W1, like u and v, when added together are in W1. How would I show this though?
Like if I have u=(b1,b2,…,bn) and v=(c1,c2,…,cn), then u+v =(b1+c1,…,bn+cn), but how do I show this is an element of W1?
Wait, how would I show the components add to zero though?
Cuz if I have b1c1+…+bncn=0, where could I go from there? I can’t factor b1+…+bn directly out of that

Given a triangle with A(-3, 1), B(3, 7) and C(-1, -5), find the equation of the circle that passes through A, B and C
Anyone have any idea how to do this 😭
There are a couple ways you could do it
What would be the simplest one
You can assume some circle $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$ and put those points in, you'll have a system of equations which you can solve
NEONPerseus
If you think it would be hella laborious, then you should:
- Find two midpoint of the line segment joining any two points
- Get the equation of the lines perpendicular to those segments
- Find their point of intersection
This will give you the center of the triangle's circumcircle. Find the distance of this point from any of the three given in the question; that would be the radius, and you can form the equation of the circle

did i do 31 & 33 right?
the antiderivative of sin x is -cos x not cos x
33 is correct
is this right? also i'm not sure if 27 is right
what is 27
yup that looks right
ah i dont know how to solve those antiderivatives yet
maybe someone else can help
i think it's same as the problems we just did just not multiply by (1/b-a)
iduno tho
where did i go wrong?
wut is it 😅😅
Arctan spits out values between -pi/2 and pi/2 exclusive
oh ok
,w plot arctan(x)


you cannot take all branches of tan, invert them and call it a function

Shockshwat
It's been a while since I've solved stuff like this
Maybe similarity between PQR and STR
Basically its asking to prove the formula of area of trapezium
I get this by doing that
Height for the big triangle = H + h
Area of big triangle = 1/2(b(H+h))
Area of small triangle = 1/2(a(H))
Subtracting Area of small from big
taking 1/2 common
1/2(b(H+h)-aH))
1/2(bH+bh-aH)
which is this...
use similar triangles, there are some ratios that would work
H/h+H = a/b
not quite
i thought about using similiar triangles but didnt really got far with that
the lower height is not h]
ah yes my bad
H+h = $\frac{bH}{a}$
Shockshwat
$b(H+h)-aH$
Shockshwat
$b(\frac{bh}{a}) - aH$
Shockshwat
ok lemme figure out whats wrong
Shockshwat
$b(\frac{bh}{a}) - a\frac{a(H+h)}{b}$
Shockshwat
wait no
from here, multiply by b
$bH=a(H+h)$

👋
I'm back again
Nonna
Same integral as yesterday, I found it in a list of exercises on math stackexchange to practice feynman's trick
I wasn't able to find any useful way to parametrize (or simplify) the integral
All my attempts led to worse integrals. My main focuses were to remove the x inside the ln or to add an x to the numerator, but they both turned out to be useless and worse steps
Also trying to cancel out the denominator as a whole doesn't seem to work
Now I'm trying to do a substitution that somebody suggested yesterday, x = tan u
I mean
if x = tan theta
we have dx = sec^2 x dtheta
then we have ln(1+tan theta +tan^2theta)
idk how to proceed
do you mean sec^2(theta) d(theta)?
@chrome cove Has your question been resolved?
This is as far as I can get
Nonna
But then in I'(a) I get the integral of e^{-ax²} and I don't know how to integrate it
Oh maybe euler's identity
Actually I think I found a way 
It doesnt work
Everything was going so smoothly
I started again from this,
But I don't think I can integrate this
I'll do one last attempt
If it goes wrong I'll keep this for when I'll get better with feynman's trick
It didn't work
Well, very hard integral, I didn't expect it
Thanks to everyone who tried to help!
I really enjoy feynman's trick, it's such a neat method

Calculus 1 Lecture 1.2: Properties of Limits. Techniques of Limit Computation
I don't understand this substitution technique being used...
u = 2x
(Link is at the timestamp, 2:11:30)
what dont you understand about it
you know that $\lim_{u \to 0} \frac{\sin(u)}{u} = 1$
ΣAC
Squeeze Theorem Identity?
well yes prof leonard proves it in that same video
Oh you have watched it? 🙂
no i just skipped to the middle where i assumed he would have proved it
Alright so if this identity is true for x
it's also true for 2x, 3x, x/4, etc?
so long as trig argument is the same as the denominator
yeah its true for whatever you want to call the variable
interesting..
i think there is some limitations there, pretty sure if $u=\frac{1}{x}$ then the limit is not 1
Duh Hello
since you get $x\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$ and i feel like i remember proving that is 0
Duh Hello
$\lim_{x\to 0} (1+ x)^{\frac{1}{x}} = \lim_{t\to \infty} (1 + \frac{1}{t})^t = e$ after a substitution of $t = \frac 1x$
Lixera
its helpful
that is 1, as x goes to inf
ye but going to zero its still on the form $$\frac{\sin(u)}{u}$$ with $u=\frac{1}{x}$
Duh Hello
so as long as x is not in the denominator of the sin argument, anything else is allowed
if you sub u = 1/x, when x was going to zero, u will be going to inf
^
ahh, yeah nvm im dumb 
exactly what happened here for example
all good, I don't even understand what's being said
ok dont listen to me
so i can literally have anything in the sin() argument
just so long as denominator is the same
and this Squeeze Theorem Identity of 1 is still valid
@worldly vale truth or blasphemy?
as long as the "anything" is going to zero
you mean the x -> 0 part of the identity?
i mean the stuff in the sin and the denominator, it doesnt have to match the limit variable
for example the very question you asked about
$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin(2x)}{2x} = 1$
ΣAC
because 2x goes to 0 as x does, the identity still holds
proof? exactly the substitution
because 2x is 2 * 0?
are we using double angle trig here for anything/
2x is like Θ+Θ
i dont think you wrote what you mean because what you wrote is nonsense
we're not doing any double angle identities
you could if you wanted, but no need to bother
as x approaches zero
I'm replacing x with 0
yeah i know what you mean but writing "2x is 2*0" is nonsense
hmmm, I should have written it 0 + 0?
the issue is not with how you write 2*0 its with your use of the word "is"
where is the 1 coming from? haha sorry I don't see it
sin(0) = 0
hmmm
oh sorry, the squeeze identity
right right
I'm too focused on the inside stuff
it's the overall identity that equals 1
yes, a lot of the time trying to plug in the limit value will give you undefined expressions
thats why there are elaborate proof for some limits t hat get around this problem
"0/0", "inf/inf", "0*inf" etc
yeah, 0/0 just means there is a hole. keep plugging away at it to find the limit.. is that correct?
no idea what you mean by keep plugging away
well sure but you might not always be able to
like here
hmmmm
which is precisely why its proved by squeeze
yeah any limit hes circled in a bubble you probably wanna memorise
yes, good ones to know
alright I will keep an eye on them.. I can't assume they are 0/0
I take it "u" substitution will work the same way for all 3 identities?
indeed
also note there is nothing special about the letter u
just a commonly used one
here is a fun exercise for you after this conversation
show why $\lim_{x\to \infty} x\sin(\frac 1x ) = 1$

how to do part A
Are you at least familiar with e.g. the "special" angles from 0 to pi/2 by any chance? And CAST diagrams?
uhh
i know the unit circle
mostly well i can usually figure out values from memory
cast diagrams = the sign of each ratio?
yep i know it
Yea that
Wait actually are you given a calculator before I start going down that road?
[either way, not too hard to learn without one!]
nope we're not
Ah fair, cool cool, no worries! 
Anyways, from there, would you be able to find at least one angle theta [between 0 and 2pi] such that cos(theta) = -sqrt{2}/2?
[that gives you +sqrt{2}/2]
You're basically done lol
They ask for the angles between 0 and 2pi and you've found both of them!

How do you know where a limit declaration starts and stops?
Would this top line be the exact same statement as the bottom?
Or would the top line be like saying the limit of the first fraction, then add second fraction to it?
more like context-dependent but usually if they were to add more terms after the limit, they would take the limit in parenthesises I think
or at least express the limit with natural language
I guess
Hmmmm 🤔
the bottom is the bad form i guess
the top is generally considered to just be the limit of the first term, but it is bad form to leave it ambiguous
The bottom is perfect
Nothing wrong with it
Wdymbt?
if the origin limit was the first one
But they equal
not always
If you think of brackets around the top line
This is how Professor Leonard is teaching it.. equal 🟰 wth haha..
Now I’m confused
for example :
[\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x} \ne \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1}{x} ]
Mehdi_Moulati
Hmmmm
Lemme check my notes
Maybe they have to be different if he labeled them f and g
there is a condition which is the limit of them are defined
I'm not following, sorry
there are assumptions to this identity you're leaving out
like what?
take this for example
let's say that :
- the limit of** f(x)** when x tend to a is **+infinity **
- the limit of** g(x)** when x tend to a is **+infinity **
could you calculate the limit of f(x)/g(x) when x tend to +infinity using your note @oak kraken ?

The Law of Simplification / Conjunction Elimination says:
But the Law of Addition / Disjunction Introduction says this:
How is it possible for these both to be true? Sry if this is a stupid question 🙃
like is it possible to say p or q therefore p and q?
no just coz one of p or q is true, both of them dont have to be true
thats what im thinking
you are odie or there exist unicorns, therefore you are odie and there exist unicorns
so how come both of these rules are true?
here, (you are odie and i am silversoldier), therefore you are odie
here, you are odie, therefore, you are odie or there exist unicorns
when both of the statements are true, you can say one of them is true
here the first one is true, so that one, OR anything else is true coz the first one is already true
ah ok, so you can logically deduce p V q from p ^ q but not the other way around, right?
yeah, p ^ q => p v q

you cant log both sides with different values
id bring down the powers using exponentials
(maybe theres an easier approach though)
i tried breaking them into powers but with 6 and 10 you cant
so take log of both sides like in the picture?
is my algebra wrong perhaps?
you will have an irrational value
like e^((4x-6)ln(6))
so whts a good approach if you can recommend any?
so start by taking ln of both sides?
well like
do
e^ln(EXPRESSION)
then you can bring down the power of the expression
makes it 100x easier to solve imo

(a) $\lambda$ is a linear combination of the functionals $\lambda_1, \hdots \lambda_n;$
\vspace{3 mm}
(b) ker $\lambda \supseteq \bigcap_{k =1}^n$ ker $\lambda_k$
Lixera
this should be quite easy but i dont see it, any hints?
For a => b, lets assume a.
Now what does mean for a vector v to be in kernel of lambda_k?
my main point of confusion too
do you know the definition of a kernel?
the linear subspace of the domain of the map which is mapped to the zero vector?
exactly
so if
$v \in$ ker $\lambda_k$
rbit ✨
then what is lambda_k of v?
OH WAIT I THINK IT JUST CLICKED
thank you so much i think i will be able to continue off from here

How would I solve part b and D?
What's the top bound for A
possibly x
Im hoping it is
because A is a function of x, and the x is absent in it's role in the whole function
Well if you want, find A'(x)
It would be funny if it was something like 2x for whatever reason
c'mon dude, you are making suspense lmao
x?
I mean, it says that the function A(x) = integral 0 to x
Not sure what you mean.
So how would I find A'(x)?
at first, compute the area under the curve f(t)
for those specific values
then, find that derivative
So find the derivative of the values I get in Part A?
yes you can
So for instance, A'(x) for 0 is 0, and for 1 it would still be 0?
from 0 to 1, it will be some negative value
look the graph carefully
Wait, are you on part A or B?
For part A, I got A(x) = 0,0,1.5,3,3.5, and 3 respectively.
I'm just stuck on part B, for finding the derivative..
you forgot to multiply it with x
it will be: 0,0,x,5x,3x,3.5x,3x
This is for part A?
Or Part B? I thought Part A would just be values, not variables since we're asked to compute for A(x), not A'(x)..
part A
because you are asked to evaluate the integral for those limit values
So would Part B just be 0,0,1.5,3,3, and 3.5?
yesh
Are you sure? I thought I was supposed to be calculating the area nder the curve between the intervals..
why not?
I'm just confused on why that might be. Why are we adding variables here??
I'm confused. Aren't we just trying to find area between each pair of intervals?
what do you think? if that was it the it will be explicitly mentioned Compute A'(1)
and vice versa
What do you mean?
if you are to compute for a closed interval
then they will explicitly tell: A'(1)
like that
How about this, why do we add the x after each value for Part A?
because the integration sign says so
For part D, would I have to perform some arithmetic?
no
just mention (2,2) as the maxima
and no minimas
Wouldn't there have to be a minima here? Isn't it like the lowest ordered pair?
No
also, you can notice from the property we got
it is a linear value
and discontinous
Thanks, and lastly, between [0.5,2], A(x) is increasing, but between the intervals [0, 0.5] and [4,5], A(x) is decreasing?
just use the linear equation joining two point and then express it in y=mx+c form
then determine the value of 'm'
if m +ve, then it is increasing

express it in a different form
You should rationalize first I guess
The denominators gonn turn out 1 then
And a telescoping series might form thereby
oh wow true
also from a legality perspective
can i swear in this discord
because i saw people
Yes
and dont want to get banned
ok cool
so then it would be
root 1 - root 2 - root 2 - root 3 ... root 15 - root 16
no
how can yoy rationalize the denominators from $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n} + \sqrt{n+1}}$
Should be root 2 - root 1 at starting (if you do right way)
Jester
oh right
so its 2 - 1 + 3 - 2
true
nah ur right matye
so you will have -1 and 16?
i think thats right
bc the rest all have both +-
There is root on it
Root 16 - root 1 should be the end result
I didn't want to say direct answer so I left that for you
ok cool
can i post another question here
about surds and stuff
or should i close and reopen
Fresh vegetables are always better
Better close and reopen. I'd do that if I were you. Personal preferences though.
fair
but if its probably u helping me eihter way
seems easier to just stay here
I was just lucky here
But yeah considering the standard of question you asked, I'll be probably help you in that as well

can someone help explain recurrence relations?
I'm confused as to what they mean or how to even begin solving them
(I'm revising past papers)
In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the nth term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms
you can see it on wiki
You mean something like the fibonacci sequence?
Im sure it is one, but i'm doing high school easier stuff 
Okay thanks

can someone help
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
1
20 days taken by 12 machines
each machine takes 20×12 =240 days
now since 8 machines were used for nine days, days worth of work done = 8×9=72
days worth of work left = 240 -72 = 168
bro why do i think im doing something wrong
you are pretty sure lol
no.
explain me
For the first 9 days, only 8 machines were used, so the factory produced (8/12)9 = 6 days' worth of pens.
From day 10 onwards, all 12 machines were used, so the factory produced (12/12)(20-9) = 11 days' worth of pens.
Therefore, the total number of days taken to make the batch of pens is 6 + 11 = 20 days.

whats the condition for a function to be integrable on [a,b]?
were doing riemann sums and the teacher is asking us to find if a function f(x) is integrable over an interval
i have no idea bruh
its not like derivatives where it has to be continuous right
continuity isnt the problem is it
it is
what why
how would you find the area enclosed under a graph if it's not continuous
oh
good point
so im given this question
and im thinking i can just write
if x is an element of [0,1], x is either an element of Q or an element of R\Q
because Q U R\Q is just R
then the domain is all real numbers in [0,1] which means its continuous on [0,1]
so it should be integrable?
but then he wants us to use this property
bro what
Why would f be continuous just because its domain is [0,1]? There are certainly functions defined on [0,1] that are discontinuous.
oh
i didnt think of that

This is the question I am having an issue with.
This is what I've tried
I may be interpreting the definition of an explicit solution incorrectly, but my book doesn't have any examples, just generic formulas.
lemme see
That seems to be the case with this specific book. No examples, just formulas.
Oh yeah
I don't think I actually carried it down to the next step
I think I just automatically wrote it cuz it was above
yes
mind
"brain is something when you need but it will run away" -Tsun Tzu the art of maths
Indeed.
It may also be a WebAssign formatting issue, but I only have one try left lol
It's ok if I don't get this one correct. It's the last question on this specific problem set.
So it'll still be an A
Well I have 3 more sections + reading assignments + quizzes, but yeah
Luckily, my quizzes are one or two questions each
ohh
But that also means I need to know exactly what the subject is
experience++
It could be any question from the homework
yup
And this homework set was a struggle, because I haven't taken a math class in 4 years
And I never actually took trig
"if you defeated the boss make sure you can defeat the boss again"
in your exams(final levels of game)
That's what the mini quizzes are for.
I'm probably just going to skip this question and go to the next set though. I don't have very much time.
I appreciate the assistance though!

i actually just cant do this question
i have no idea what im doing
this is what ive tried so far
but i dont think thats it
i want to say that the slope is this so the function is continuous
You can't really list all rational numbers like that
Because here there are infinitely many rational numbers between Q_n and Q_n+1
Take any sub interval of [0,1] and think about the inf and sup of f over that interval
Bc that's how the riemann integral of defined
I'm assuming you're working with the riemann integral
@dense oracle Has your question been resolved?
the what-
i think were learning riemann integral but i have no idea what inf and sup are
wait then does my drawing not work
How do u define if a function is riemann integrable
Yes
i dont know i think it just has to be continous
the teacher didnt say anything i dont think
wtf
There are functions that are not continuous and still integrable
deez
If you don't know what it means for a function to be integrable then you just can't do this question
i knoww thats the issue but the teacher said nothingg
do i have to do what you said with inf and sup or is there another way ?
uh ok
In this context they're p much the same
well in this case the inf is 0 and the sup is 1?
ohhh
Since they are not equal, the function is not integrable
ok i can only understand that if i use my drawing
cuz when i visualize in my head
the inf rectangles just dont have a height and the sup rectangles are with height 1
but you said my drawing doesnt work
I mean yes cuz what's in between
It's a bit more complicated
Rational and irrational are intertwined
yeah you can always put more things in between i guess
They're in between each other
frick
this is a bit unrelated but i watched a video recently that said that rationals are countably infinite but reals(irrationals) are not countable infinity
does this have nothing to do with the problem here
Not really
ok i see
But yea there are a lot more irrationals then rational
burh 💀
this property makes no sense
its like as if there are an equal amount of rationals and irrationals if there are always more in between each other
but no
so what i can do for this problem, can i write that delta x is always the same? or does delta x not stay constant
I think you should learn about the riemann integral
This is the whole argument for this example tho
Ok np

I need help with 32, but before we do that one i just want to check my answer for 30 since they're pretty similar
Is that a math problem?
it's discrete math
so i said for 30 I can walk only if my leg is not broken. Does that work?
please @ me if anyone responds
@oak arrow do you have any idea what the thing on the right says
im not sure what you mean. Like on the right side of the image?
My bad, the rhs of q 32
Q is true if and only if not p is true
right?
so that means my leg is broken only if I cannot walk, right?
is anyone there?

what part are you stuck with
i think i solved it
wait
how do i find h?
h(x) ?
yes
its just gonna be top - bottom
ah ok
or right - left right
yeah
ok ty imma keep working
@tranquil pine having issues with 9
what do u have rn
why did you change to f(y)
wym
why wouldnt it be in terms of y?
would it not just be ((2-x)-x^2)
the rectangle is horizontal so shouldnt it be in terms of y
why horizontal rectangle
oh wait i messed up
lol
shell method differential element should be parallel to axis of rotation
your axis is a vertical line so your rectangles should also be vertical
i see let me try again
@tranquil pine this is what i did for the set up but its still wrong
bounds are 0 to 1
i think anyways

This is the problem I am having an issue with.
This is what I've tried
I am confused on how to find g(x)
Both sides have a 2xy/(x+y) so I can take that out, but does g(x) then equal -x^2+y^2/(x+y)+2x?


Yeah, I think you are right
