Can I get someone to confirm the answers for these two. If they're wrong please let me know.
I thought of it like this: g'(x) has a slope of 0 at points -1 and 3
so g''(x) should pass through those points in its graph
indeed it should
So B, C, and D should eliminated
sounds reasonable
I have a question
are the slopes of certain intervals on original functions similar to the ones of the derivative?
like if from [1,3] the slope is > 0
then the slope of the derivative from [1,3] must also be > 0?
no
the derivative is the slope of the function
if the slope is steeply upward, the derivative is large and positive

how do u know whether to use the sin or cos to solve for the angle because they give different values
you need to use both
and find common value of angle
$\text{for example: }cos\varphi=-\frac{1}{2}\text{, and: }sin\varphi=\frac{\sqrt{3}}2{}$
Joanna Angel
and you use tables trig ones, or you look at graphs, t find common angle
could you explain how to find the common angle please

is this d?
em
No
absolute maximum at 2 is -1 no?
so it should be b since abs min is higher than abs max?
That's nonsense
😭
The question is phrased a little badly but the absolute maximum of f is indeed 2, because the maximum is 2 and the minimum is -2
is global and absolute the same?
No, global refers to the whole domain, absolute refers to the absolute value (x when x>=0 and -x when x<0)
bro what
my teacher is screwing with me
she said global maximum is absolute maximum
and relative maximum is local minimum
so i was right?
or was it
c
Huh I guess that could be the case
abs max was 2 right
I've never heard about "absolute" and "relative" extrema but if your teacher uses these terms that way, then sure
oh ok
It's a really bad way to call global and local extrema because "absolute" generally refers to the absolute value (like I said)
whats local then
A local extremum is an extremum on an infinitely small interval around a point
(-1,0) is a local minimum because it's a minimum on [-1.1,-0.9] for example, even though the function goes lower than 0 elsewhere
??
they usually tell you to find minimum and maximum
relative max/min or absolute max/min*
Yeah local = relative according to your teacher
so this could be both b or c?
No?
The global extrema of f are 2 and -2
You don't really need to
but one of the answers asks for concave down tho
Yeah, and you can directly see where the graph is concave
Why?
cause its concaveed down?
from -4 to -3 isnt it concaved down?
u shape is concave up and n shape is concave down right
From -4 to -3 yeah
No
???
In [3,5] it's clearly still "n shaped"
Yeah what are you saying
i mean 1,3 is the same shape as -4,-3
True
so they both concave down?
Yeah
No
Yeah

I know the formula for covariance
I tried having heads as 1 and tails as 0
that didnt work
so I have no idea how to proceed now
What exactly did you try?
Can you write it down?
By the way, the say "dependent coin flips" in the question, and in the example these are independent coin flips
Is this a typo? or is there another example?
@muted ore
@muted ore Has your question been resolved?
It’s not
Basically I set heads as “1” and tails as “0”
Then calculated variance
With a mean of 0.5
Yea
Why do you think it's wrong?
Because the answer sheet says so
But the covariance of independent random variables is 0
I think they try to refer to another example with correlated coin flips
Are you sure that there isn't any other example with dependent coin flips?
yes, this is Example 12.2, but I wonder if this is a typo, and there is another example later on
with dependent coin flips
Is this a book?
yea
Yes, I think they were refering to this one
Try this one and see
either (1,0) or (0,1)
so you get 1/2 * ( (1-0.5) * (0 - 0.5) + (0-0.5) * (1-0.5) )
,w 1/2 * ( (1-0.5) * (0 - 0.5) + (0-0.5) * (1-0.5) )
this gives a cov of -0.5
nvm ur right
why do they give a different formula at a later point?
thats so strange
It's been a while since I touched this, but if I recall correctly, when you estimate from a sample, dividing by n-1 gives a better estimate
But this isn't the covariance, this is an estimate
You can see that this is done for the variance too
yes
but how is our example representative of population
seems strange to use it like that
Which example?
Because these are known random variables
the description gives everything there is to know
You can derive all the posible outcomes and their probabilities
Right okay
Yes, you are given p(x,y) for all possible (x,y)
I'm a CS major
Good luck my friend! 🙂

How should I even approach such questions:
Then test if
Like I thought of saying the following:
a, b are linear combinations of M, N, S
c, d are NOT linear combinations of M, N, S (that's why they are outside of U)
Now, if we are testing like: -3a-4b+c, these coefficients don't matter, we just have to take into consideration what we are looking at: a+b+c
(a+b) is part of U, but c is NOT part of U (not a linear combination of M, N, S))
Therefore, this whole thing is NOT inside U
Am I on the right track or?

is there a trig identity for sin x + cos x = 0?
im trying to solve for x
sinx = -cosx,
Means thingys with π/4's but in second and fourth quadrants
If you don't know that, then just square
Getting sin2x=-1
And then it's doable
what
There's only the bisectors of the quadrants on which sinx and cosx are equal in magnitude
And in second and fourth quadrants they're opposite in sign
Means angles like nπ-π/4

Good day, my son is in grade 4 and he has these math questions to solve and the topic is division.
I would answer logically in multiplication but not sure why they require division.
The library assistant can cover 8 books in an hour. Since there are 24 newly acquired books in the library, will the library assistant be able to finish covering the books in 4 hours? prove your answer?
Hoping for help 🙂
My son and I would simply do 12x6 = 72 books and the answer would shelves not enough.. but is there a way via division?
well either 24/8 < 4 or 24 < 8*4
thank you, kindly give me a moment to digest the divison method u just metioned.
I guess logically, you could ask the related question "how long would the library assistant take to cover the 24 newly acquired books?" and you could figure this out by either dividing: 24 books / (8 books per hour) = 3 hours
or you could, if you don't like dividing, just start counting upward:
At the end of the first hour, the assistant has covered 8 books.
At the end of the second hour, the assistant has covered 8+8=16 books.
At the end of the third hour, the assistant has covered 8+8+8=24 books.
and since 3 hours is less than 4 hours, the assistant will be able to do the task in less than 4 hours
but wouldnt it be logical to fill the shelves up with the maximum = 12 books per shelf?
The library assistant can cover 8 books in an hour. Since there are 24 newly acquired books in the library, will the library assistant be able to finish covering the books in 4 hours? prove your answer?
I don't think your question here mentions shelves
different question maybe?
96/12 instead?
ah wait ur correct my bad
copy pasted the wrong question 😦 im sor sorry
- There are 96 new books in the library. And there are 6 available bookshelves that can hold 12 books each shelf. Are the shelves enough to hold the new books? explain your answer
this is the one. im very sorry
each shelf would need to hold 96/6 books
but yeah multiplication is much more natural to use here
yes im just confused why the teacher requires multiplication instead. 96 / 6 = 16 books per shelf
but the question is are the shelves enough to hold the new books
bit confusing
generally, in mathematics, there are many ways to approach problems and many ways to reason about things
you could suppose that there are 6 shelves, and this won't change, and then logically reason that each shelf would have to hold 16 books for all of the books to be held by a shelf
and since each shelf can only hold 12, you can conclude that the books won't fit
or you could suppose that each shelf holds 12 books, and then you could conclude that there would have to be 8 shelves, but you only have six, so the books won't fit
or you could suppose that you have 6 shelves, each of which holds 12 books, and then you could conclude that the shelves can hold a maximum of 72 books, which is less than 96
thank you very much for clarifying. I will save this conversation and digest it as you are right that there are many ways to solve it
May I also kindly as for this one, as u mention there are multiple ways. But i dont see the divison in this question:
In the library, there are 12 tables with 6 chairs. If 96 pupils were all allowed by the librarian to do their research work, will there be enough chairs for the pupils? Explain your answer
as for me i can see only multiplication as a solution
Suppose someone had to distribute 96 pupils among 12 tables. Then, by computing 96/12, one could figure out how many pupils would be seated at each table. This comes out to 8. Therefore, since each table only has 6 chairs, there are not enough chairs for the pupils.
Or suppose that we wish to distribute 96 pupils into tables of 6 chairs. Then, by computing 96/6, we could figure out how many tables are required. This comes out to 16.
It turns out that all of these are just different ways of stating the same inequality

If I take the ring given by the unit circle, and $x^2+y^2=2$ and transform the plane with the relation of $(\cos(x), \sin(x)) \sim \cos(x+\pi), \sin(x+\pi)$ Will this give the moebius strip? Why yes or why not?
bigpufik
Intutievly Id Say yes, taking a point we basically twist the whole circle, and with that the plane 180 degrees and then stick them toegther?
@modern wraith Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Yes, your intuition is correct. The transformation you described, where ((\cos(x), \sin(x))) is mapped to (\cos(x+\pi), \sin(x+\pi)), effectively flips each point on the unit circle by 180 degrees. When you apply this transformation to the unit circle defined by (x^2+y^2=2), it results in a Möbius strip.
⩩ 𓍢 ׅ 🎀⃞ꭑֹ𝗮̈𝗱ꫀ𝗹𝗂n͟𝗲̄ ♡゙ ˖ ݁ ˓ :
wdym the unit circle described by x^2+y^2=2?
no
The equation for it is x²+y²
Yeah so the ring effectively becomes a mobius strip?
How would I prove this mathematically?
that it becomes a mobius strip
To prove mathematically that the transformation you described turns the unit circle ((x^2 + y^2 = 1)) into a Möbius strip, you can use parametric equations.
Let (r(\theta) = (\cos(\theta), \sin(\theta))) represent the unit circle. The transformation you mentioned is (T(\theta) = (\cos(\theta + \pi), \sin(\theta + \pi))).
Now, apply (T) to (r(\theta)):
[T(r(\theta)) = T(\cos(\theta), \sin(\theta)) = (\cos(\theta + \pi), \sin(\theta + \pi))]
Expanding this using angle sum identities, you get:
[T(r(\theta)) = (-\cos(\theta), -\sin(\theta))]
This parametric equation represents a Möbius strip. To prove it rigorously, you'd want to show that the resulting curve is non-orientable and has the topological properties of a Möbius strip. The key is in understanding how the transformation affects the orientation and connectivity of the points on the unit circle.

I saw a proof about switching the boundaries of an integral, which makes the area negative. So I got a question about the first step where they do:
$\int_{a}^{b} f(x) , dx + \int_{b}^{a} f(x) , dx = \int_{a}^{a} f(x) , dx = 0$
Bennxy
Is it possible to say $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) , dx + \int_{b}^{a} f(x) , dx = \int_{b}^{b} f(x) , dx = 0$ instead? I don't think we could, because b > a right? But if b < a, we can right?
Bennxy
Because, if we think about two vectors a={3,0} and b={5,0} for the interval [3,5] we do b-a which is 2, and we call this vector c. But if we did a-b we get -2, which is a negative vector of c. So we end up again at vector a terminal point.
So if we wanted to be strict, saying $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) , dx + \int_{b}^{a} f(x) , dx = \int_{b}^{b} f(x) , dx$ is not correct right?
Bennxy
it is correct since LHS = RHS = 0
Hmm so $\int_{a}^{a} f(x) , dx = \int_{b}^{b} f(x) , dx$?
Bennxy
they are both zero for any f(x) (as long is f is integrable)
the area between a point and itself is zero
Yea that's what I thought at first too
But then I came up with this
I dunno if this is correct though

They wanted r≤0
i got that part
but for the angle
I thought the angle would have to be pi/4 because the range of arctan is (-pi/2,pi/2)
that is the range of arctan, it does not imply the angle has to be in it
Do you know why their answer and your answer correspond to the same point
?
They should bothw work because sqrt(2)/2 divided by sqrt(2)/2 = 1
and -sqrt(2)/2 divided by -sqrt(2)/2 = 1
oh, quadrants?
yeah thats why I believe 5pi/4 would also work
Anyways, their answer corresponds to the same point but has r,θ inside the desired range, so it is correct
Your answer is correct, aside from the r,θ values not being in the range they asked for

i know the capital E (epsilon)? is mathematical shorthand for "the summation of" eg, the sum of all expressions evaluated at i from i to L / delta s - 1. what is the other large letter and what is it shorthand for, i am guessing the products of all expressions to its right evaluated at that each value of j?
capital pi, your guess is correct, similar to "capital e" which is Sigma
use it in the same way as sigma but multiply instead of sum
type ".close"
great, thanks again.
hey sorry, i actually have one more question
when evaluating this expression, does it become the evaluated sigma expression times the evaluated pi expression?
looks like it to me, yeah

Can someone help with part c)? The coordinates are O(0,0) , A(1,0) , N(4/5,16/125) . I know that the area of a triangle is 1/2xbxh
@misty umbra Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
what's the base
wait
lets think of the base and height from a very convenient perspective
namely the xy plane
where one is the x direction and the other the y direction
very convenient
especially when one of the sides of the triangle is in the x direction
Do we consider y as the height
and x as the base?
yes
well the base is at y = 0
and so the height is the third point's height - the base height
wdym
when we pick directions for base and height
in this case we picked x as the direction the base is in
and y as the direction the height is in
the base is just a side of the triangle
Yes
and the height is the distance from that side to the third point
this distance has to be perpendicular
to the side that we chose as our base
but because x and y are perpendicular
we don't have to worry here
all we need to find is the y values for the third point
and the base
since the base goes from the point 0,0 to 1,0
the y value is 0
and the height from 1,0 to 4/5,16/125?
16/125
So 16/125-0 which is 16/125?
1-0?
yes

both arent
you can factor a term out of b
how
what variable is in both 17ca and 8cd
c
exactly
ohh
it would be left with only c
as c^1 - c^1 = c
no you take it out from both sides
c(17a) - c(8d)
like that
and then thats equal to c(17a-8d)
you cant factor that
so if it isnt divisible and it doesnt have 2 of the same terms it isnt factor?
well you can factor but it would be decimal
but you probably shouldnt do that
if they are different variables it isnt factorable

hi
one sec
this is the question
idk how to rotate it
but
for this part
i just wanted to know if the way i was doing it is right
so i plugged in y into the formula before i took the derivative
I don't think you did it right
how am i supposed to do it
R is constant right?
Then dR/dt is
oh wait
r = sqrt(50y-y^2)
radius r is the radius of the waters surface apparently
i couldnt see the letter through the papers ink
one sec
(25-y)²+r²=25²
yeah
Yeah
i simplified that
Correct

not sure where to start
found c’(x) and tried to find critical points using quadratic formula
came out undefined
so idk
why over x
ohh
@random forge i dont think theres been any progress
i will still get 3x^2 - 44x + 20000
,w minimize x^2-22x+20000
looks like it should work fine? I don't understand your work
I don't know why you still have a cubic anywhere, much less in your derivative
@uneven light
try simplifying c(x)/x first
although that other method should end up working, just a lot harder
uhh
every term in c(x) has an x in it...
ye but wouldnt you need to find the derivative of that
in order to get critical pts
you want to find the minimum of $\frac{c^x}{x}$
c^x/x is just a nice little quadratic that's easy to find the min
you don't even need calculus for this problem

Hello! I'm stuck in the last part of this algebra problem. I don't know how to find one side of the shaded square that will help me find its area
Hi
@fierce blade you can focus on the mid square, if you can find its area, you can derive the area of the innermost square in the same manner
Can you?
I mean the square DC__
Can you find its area?
and I think you can, you wrote there DC = 8 sqrt(2)
and DE = 4 sqrt(2)
So you can find in the same way the side of the shaded square
The same way you found DC

what did I do wrong
you can't pull out x^2 from 16xy^3
you factored out the 2x^2y but then didnt divide the rest by it
i mean, you technically could, but you would be introducing a fraction
find the largest common factor between each term.
your line of thinking should be something like "what is the largest factor that goes into 14 and 16?" "what is the largest factor between x^2 and x?" and "what is the largest factor between y and y^3?"
combining all those factors gives you the lcf between both terms.
i dont think its supposed to be fraction
was the 2x^2y correct
exactly, so your factor was too large.
so did i mess up
the whole thing?
yes it is not correct.

since you wanna plot them why are you not just using geogebra 3d or whatever other app ?
i can plot parametrics in geogebra?
see here https://www.geogebra.org/m/pm9q9sem for example
also, you could share your eq so that we check in general, it's not very long
@timid tulip Has your question been resolved?
ok thanks but hers's the thing
i did find places to plot parametric equations but not together with cartesian ones
i want to compare them together
also i have absolutely 0 coding knowledge and am strictly dealing with lines
no curves or surfaces
a line is a particular kind of curve
you could look for desmos if you prefer its interface over geogebra's
im not rlly concerned with interface
i wanna see those two kinds of equations plotted on the same space
yea thanks

Hi, I would like to get help with this problem about centre of mass and why the answer is different depending on whether I choose to work with volume or area
here's the question
here's what I tried
and here's what my book says
talking about finding z bar
even though I wrote x bar in my working out
why's the answer different or have I misinterpreted the question?
shouldn't like both methods be equally valid?
$$M_{\text{solid}} x = m_{\text{big cube}}x_{\text{com of big cube}} - m_{\text{small cube}}x_{\text{com of small cube}}$$

-3/4(5y-2) = 1/2(y+3)
Is this correct
-3/4x5y =- 3,75y
-3/4x-2 = 1.5
1/2xy=0.5y
1/2x3=1,5
1,5-3,75y = 0,5y + 1,5
-3,75y=0,5y+3
-3,25y=3
Y = 3,25Y/3
Well to finish it y = 1,0833
is incorrect
the structure of the work is suboptimal, but valid up until
1,5-3,75y = 0,5y + 1,5
try again from there
Subtract
To remove variables
adding 1.5 to the left would result in having 3 on the left
One other thing
Can g(x)=((a (a+1) (b+3))/(x b+3 x))-((a^(2) x^(2))/(x^(3)))+(((3 c-3) (3 c+3))/(9 c^(2)-9))-1
Be simplified to:
G(x) = (A^2b+3a^2+ab+3a)/(xb+3x) - (a^2)/x + (9c^2-9)/9c^2-9) -1

An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 (Moment Magnitude Scale) happened in March 2011 near Honshu, Japan. Another earthquake happened in April with a magnitude of 7.1. How much more powerful (in terms of earth movement) was the first earthquake? Use the formula $M=\frac{2}{3}\log(\frac{E}{E_0})$, where $E_0$ is the baseline measure.

Mostly confused about what they mean baseline measure. My original plan was to just plug both of the data in but idk what to plug in for E0

I'm not getting the right answer, being asked to give an exact answer using trig ratios
I firstly converted to degrees and found it was 225
which simplifies to 45 RA
then through that I have tan(90-45), which rationalized is tan(pi/2 - pi/4)
subbing it in to my trig ratio for tan I get:

which = -1, and that's incorrect so I'm confused

after I get the volume formula, what do i do
wait is the 30*45 even in the volume formula?
You have to find an expression for the sidelengths of the base of the box.
It`s almost there.
oh would it be 2s^2
Notice that once you flip the sides sticking out after the corners are removed, the base won`t be 30 by 45 anymore.
yeah
So let's just look at the top bit. The tin sheet has width 30 cm
What's left in width after you remove the corners?
30 - w
Say, in terms of x.
Well in that case 2x is rather small compared to 30 isn't it?
So you'd have 30-2x.
oh yeah yeah
Good
30 - 2x
So what about the other side?
45 - 2y
Well it's squares you're removing, so it's still in terms of x right?
45 - 2x
Makes sense?
oh yea thats right
Good, now once you flip the sides up, what is the height of the box?
By height, I mean how deep it is.
Exactly, so x
Good, so now your box has one side (30-2x), one side (45-2x) and the other x.
So what is its volume?
(30 - 2x)(45 - 2x)(x)
Spot on.
ohhh and now I differentiate it
wait, question
so I got v' = 12x^2 - 300x + 1350
and when I set it equal to zero, I'm expecting a radical answer
is that right
Yes you will likely find some x that contains roots and stuff.
but don't I have to find the maximum dimensions?
so like would I set it equal to 0, find its answers, and then also compare it with smtg
?
like if I'm solving for optimization with area, Id compare it to the highest possible length with 0 width, highest possible width with 0 length and see how it goes
idk my teacher taught us to do l * 0w and w * 0l even though itll yield to zero
and use that to compare
Sorry I was doing something.
Once you find x such that the volume is maximal, you immediately have the dimensions since it's the only thing missing in the sidelengths of your box.
So you will have one side 30 - 2x = 30 - 2(value of x that maximizes volume), ...
Obviously, you want to make sure that the lengths respect some boundaries, so that none of them are negative.
yeah so I got l = 30 - (25 + 5 root 7) || w = 45 - (25 + 5 root 7) || h = (25 + 5 root 7 )/ 2
idk why theres a black box over the w part
but it disappears if I click on it so ig you could try that if you cant see it
It's a spoiler tag || . Here is a ||spoiler||.
ohk
hmm, it seems to me like you didn't divide by 2 in the answers.
i did
Moreover, remember you have 2 roots given by your quadratic equation.
Have you checked both?
yeah but the other one is negative
Ok that's good then.
but if it was positive, I'd choose the one that yields a higher value right
Well here I would actually check.
Like either plug them into a calculator or try and look at the function, seeif maybe one is a max and the other a min.
hmm
Because this isn't necessarily true.
so like their exact decimal values, even if one is higher, wouldnt necessarily have to be the one
Well look at the expression for the volume. (30-2x)(45-2x)x
mhm
If x is higher, then your last factor is larger which is good.
But the two others are smaller aren't they?
mhm
Give me one sec. Also what I said earlier about you forgetting to divide by 2 was wrong, apologies.
no worries
Indeed, this is what I thought.
So let's go back to the volume right?
This is where the boundaries come in.
We want the sides to be positive right?
I'd have trouble imagining a box with negative sides.
So in particular, you must have 30-2x >= 0, 45-2x >= 0 and x >= 0.
Unfortunately, with the solution you chose, x is too large :
,w 30-(25+5sqrt(7))
The other solution, even though it involves a minus sign, isn't negative.
so it would be (30 - (25 - 5 root 7))(45 - (25 - 5 root 7))((25 - 5 root 7)/2)
Yeah I rechecked my work, I had an extra negative sign
its 25 - 5 root 7 )/2
Yes that is the other root. You'll notice that it's the only one that makes sense in your problem, considering we want every sideto be positive.

yes
what did you do to arrive to this expression?
you are right
yeah your answer is just correct
unless i missed something
dont ask chatgpt for math

How is g(x) ≥ alpha/2 in (c, d)?
If $g$ is not identically zero, then there is some $z \in [a,b]$ such that $g(z) > 0$. Then setting $\epsilon = g(z)/2$ in the definition of continuity, we can find a $\delta > 0$ such that $g(y) \in (g(z) - \epsilon, g(z) + \epsilon)$ whenever $y \in (z-\delta,z + \delta)$. This gives an interval $I = (z-\delta,z+\delta)$ such that $g(x) > g(z) - \epsilon = g(z)/2$ for all $x \in I$.
aldo booze
The interval $I$ is the needed interval $(c,d)$, and $g(z)$ corresponds to $\alpha$
