how do u get r^27 = 1.21674683?

#

u showed that r = 3 here and 3^27 is 7625597484987

#

also r is the common ratio between 2 consecutive terms ie year 1 and 2 or year 5 and 6

How would I do this one?

This is what I did and it’s very wrong

#

u removed the 7 and simplifed sqrt50 to 5sqrt2

#

instead its $7(5\sqrt2)$

#

Is everything else okay? Should I get the right answer if I continue like this?

mental hill
#

$x^2 = -3i$
$|x| = \sqrt{-3i}$
$;-\sqrt{-3i} = \sqrt{-3i}$?

mental hill
#

is it true for any z?

#

any complex number?

#

so i dont have to take the module here?

#

like x is always equal to $x = \sqrt{z}$ without the +-

soft zealotBOT
viscid fossil
#

$$|x+iy| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$$

mental hill
#

and is it true for any even exponent?

soft zealotBOT
#

EndTimes

mental hill
#

yeah i was able to calculate this but i was wondering if this always holds true?

#

i used the exponential form of z

#

$\sqrt{3}e^{-pi/4 + pi/k}$

viscid fossil
#

Post the original question, you're being unclear

soft zealotBOT
mental hill
#

what i want to ask is whether
$x^2 = z; x = +-z$ can i omit the +- here?

soft zealotBOT
mental hill
#

at least for x^2 = -3i it doesnt make difference

viscid fossil
#

There are always two square roots of a number

mental hill
#

ok i thought that maybe its different for complex solutions

viscid fossil
#

Except for 0 which has a double root

mental hill
#

double root?

#

z = 0?

cyan kelp
#

how do I solve this knowing that for t=0, x=1 and dx/dt = 1

long copper
#

you can use laplace transform or take x = e^rt

tired plume
#

This integral is famously know as the simple harmonic oscillator, you can find the general solution on Google

#

If you want to know "how" you should first understand all the methods for solving second order ODEs

Enter the equation of the line L that passes through the point (−3,−1, 4), is parallel to the plane : x+3y−z = 10 and intersects the line L1 : (x, y, z) = (−3, 3, 8) + t(1,−1, 2), t ∈ R. Make a principle sketch!

verbal steppe
#

So my initial thought is that for a line to be parallel to a plane it has to be perpendicular ⊥ with the normal vector of a plane, right?

#

Considering it has 3 conditions:

  • Has to pass (-3,-1, 4)
  • Is paralelle to the plane x+3y−z = 10
  • intersects the line L1 : (x, y, z) = (−3, 3, 8) + t(1,−1, 2), t ∈ R.
#

I'm not sure how to fulfill these conditions

tranquil pine
#

Here you try considering direction vectors as x,y,z then make equations by satisfying these conditions

verbal steppe
#

I know that the L i'm looking for should look something like:
L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + t(x2, y2, z2)

#

However i have no idea what (x2, y2, z2) aka the directional vector should be

tranquil pine
#

Like to satisfy that line is parallel to plane you can make it's dot product with normal vector as 0

verbal steppe
#

Yes precisely

#

i was thinking that but

#

That doesn't take the other 2 conditions into account

#

(x,y,z) * (1,3,-1) = 0
only fulfills the conditions for perpendicular

tranquil pine
verbal steppe
#

well the value on t doesn't matter right? Since that only increases the length of the vector?

tranquil pine
#

Now other two equations we can make by considering a variable point on given line and putting that in our variable line

tranquil pine
verbal steppe
#

So (x2, y2,z2) has to fulfil all three conditions?

tranquil pine
#

Yeah exactly

verbal steppe
#

Well if we do

tranquil pine
#

Either there is also a slickier way to satisfy intersecting condition like you can make distance with lines 0

verbal steppe
#

$(x2, y2,z2) \cdot (1,3,-1) = 0$ then we get x y z for one vector that fulfills that is it perpendicular

soft zealotBOT
#

Merineth

tranquil pine
#

By making det 0

#

Yeah 👍

verbal steppe
#

But with that equation we can't prove that it goes through the line , right?

#

We result in a directional vector for L that is parallel to the plane

#

Do we test it?

tranquil pine
#

Yeah we can do by 2 methods like by taking any variable point on given and satisfying in our variable line but this is quite clumsy either you can make distance between two lines as 0 cuz if they intersect then distance between them must be 0

verbal steppe
#

aah hold on!

#

i think i know what you mean

#

let me just do the vector quickly

tranquil pine
#

Ooh great!

#

Yes

verbal steppe
#

$(x2, y2,z2) \cdot (1,3,-1) = 0 \
(1,1,4)$

soft zealotBOT
#

Merineth

verbal steppe
#

So maybe 1,1,4 works?

#

SInce $1\times 1 + 1\times 3 + 4\times (-1) = 0$

soft zealotBOT
#

Merineth

tranquil pine
#

From where you took 1,1,4

verbal steppe
#

well x * 1 + y * 3 + z*(-1) has to be = 0

tranquil pine
#

Yeah right

verbal steppe
#

and if x = 1, y=1 and z=4 we get 0

#

So now we have a directional vector

tranquil pine
#

Ooh you are putting values well if that works then it's good but many times that's doest satisfy other conditions so iť will be good if you cross check other conditions as well

#

Haha at times vectors are confusing especially with 3d geometry mix

verbal steppe
#

Yeahh my way of thinking might not be the best but if it works it works happy

tranquil pine
verbal steppe
#

L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + t(1,1,4)
So this is my line now that fulfils that it is perpendicular to the plane and passes the point (-3,-1,4) and now lastly we have to check if it passes the line L1

tranquil pine
#

Yess exactly then job is done

verbal steppe
#

|(-3,-1,4) +t(1,1,4)| - |(-3,3,8) +t(1,-1,2)| = 0

#

is this what you meant?

#

i.e.
|L| - |L1| = 0
Then it passes

tranquil pine
#

Like i meant either you can see at what point these lines interect by making 3 equations from 3 direction vectors by using different 't's for each line but this method is really boring one
Now question doesnt want us to find point so there is no need to find it either make the distance between them 0 just like you find distance between two screw lines

verbal steppe
#

Oh wait sorry i just realized that the points (-3,-1,4) and (-3,3,8) doesn't matter, right? Since we are only interested if the directional vectors passes each other, right?

#

|t(1,1,4)| - |t(1,-1,2)| = 0

#

So this is what we are after ?

tranquil pine
#

Actually they do matter if want to find point of intersection of lines
Like first of all make different t s for each line

verbal steppe
#

oooh right

#

Yeah had to think there for a moment

#

but shouldn't it technically be

#

|(-3,-1,4) +t(1,1,4)| = |(-3,3,8) +t(1,-1,2)|

tranquil pine
#

Like you are try to find point of intersection between lines right

verbal steppe
#

well that's basically the same thing as = 0

tranquil pine
#

You can find r and t from first 2 eqns then make sure they satisfy 3rd if they domt then lines doesn't intersect

verbal steppe
#

that makes sense, one moment and i'll check

tranquil pine
#

Oh okay sure

verbal steppe
#

$(-3,3,8) + t(1,-1,2) = (-3,-1,4) +r(1,1,4) \
(-3,3,8) + (t,-t,2t) = (-3,-1,4) + (r,r,4r) \
(-3+t, 3 -t, 8 + 2t) = (-3 + r, -1 + r, 4+4r)$

soft zealotBOT
#

Merineth

verbal steppe
#

Isn't this how it works?

tranquil pine
#

Exactly yeah

verbal steppe
#

Now we can conclude that t ≠ r

tranquil pine
#

Like they can be equal but not always so in beginning we didn't take them equal here they are equal on solving equations like you will get t and r as 2

verbal steppe
#

But what does this tell us? If t is 1 and r is 1 then both x are the same however
3-1 = 2
-1 + 1 = 0

#

Their y will not be the same

#

However their z will

tranquil pine
#

Yes that's why we have to take any two equations by them we have to solve for t and r and then make sure that they satisfy 3rd equation

#

If they don't then we wilo conclude that lines doesn't intersect

verbal steppe
#

I'm not sure what you mean

tranquil pine
#

Oh like if you solve any equations for example take
-3+t=-3+r and 3-t=-1+r
Now from here we got t and r as 2 right
Then we will see if these values of t and r satisfy in 3rd equation if it does then we are done

tranquil pine
verbal steppe
#

Yeah mb

tranquil pine
#

Np

verbal steppe
#

This part is very tricky

tranquil pine
#

Yeah actually its bit confusing

verbal steppe
#

We just proved that my vector that we "guessed" fulfilled that is was perpendicular and passes the point but did not pass the vector

#

so we have to find a new vector that fulfills all three conditions at once

#

Does this result in a matrix of equations perhaps?

#

Using Gaus?

tranquil pine
#

Uhmm on putting t and r as 2 it does satisfy all three equations

verbal steppe
#

It does?!

#

No it doesn't?
-3+t = -3+r

#

3-t = -1+r

tranquil pine
#

Yeah !!
Like if you solve 1st two equations you will get 2 and it satisfy 3rd equation too

verbal steppe
#

8+2t = 4+4r

verbal steppe
#

ohgod you are right

#

How the hell did you solve that ? :O

#

$-3+t = -3+r \
3-t = -1+r \
8+2t = 4+4r$

soft zealotBOT
#

Merineth

verbal steppe
#

Did you do something like that?

tranquil pine
#

Mb I tagged wrong message

verbal steppe
#

Do you have a tips for solving such equations?

#

I see that the first equation gives us:
t = r

#

Do i just solve out r in the second equation and then substitute r with t in the 3rd equation?

tranquil pine
#

Yeah you can try eliminating one of variable

tranquil pine
verbal steppe
#

Perfect

#

so that means we have done all three conditions?

#

And our line is

verbal steppe
#

L: (x,y,z) = (-3,-1,4) + r(1,1,4)

tranquil pine
#

Yeah now we have the line

verbal steppe
#

That was really well formulated! Tysm!

tranquil pine
#

You are welcome!

i get how they did this but im asking where did the t go and why

#

like by what rule did they cancel it out or whatever was done

#

subtracted 5km/(30min) * t from both sides,
combined like terms

#

similar to how you'd solve something like
9x = 5x + 2

#

but something different happens when x tends towards 3
what happens here is that the difference between 3 and x will be so small
like just an explanation ( 4/2.99999999999 - 3 ) so this will lead to the fraction getting bigger
( the smaller the number on the denominator the bigger the fraction gets )
but this will be negative because the difference between x and 3 will always be negative

rotund radish
#

How do I do this

final saddleBOT
rotund radish
cold gorge
#

Do you mean "moment" of the force?

rotund radish
#

Yea that

#

Explain it to me as if I have brain damage

cold gorge
#

$\vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \cross \vec{F}$

soft zealotBOT
#

! What the hell am I doing here?

rotund radish
#

Alright so

rotund radish
cold gorge
#

Do you know what a cross product is?

#

@rotund radish

rotund radish
#

Sorta

#

I don't know what moments are, in this case

cold gorge
#

All you need is that cross product in rhs

rotund radish
#

Okay lemme get this straight

#

F is 3i+2j-4k

#

I don't know what r is

cold gorge
#

I'm glad you asked,

#

r would be the position vector of the point of action of force wrt the point about which you're considering the moment.

rotund radish
#

So the difference between the initial vector and the new vector?

cold gorge
#

I'm not sure what you're considering new and initial, but it is going to be a difference, yes.

#

Why not write it down and I tell you if you're doing it right?

rotund radish
#

Okay wait

#

Initial vector was the vector before F was applied

#

And the new vector is after F was applied right

#

Lemme write this down

#

Another question

#

What does it mean if a force is applied to a vector

#

The answer is root57 units btw

#

?

#

@cold gorge

cold gorge
#

What

#

Did you just do

rotund radish
#

Something

cold gorge
rotund radish
#

I applying force to a vector means adding them right?

cold gorge
#

You're treating F as some sort of displacement? But that's not true at all.

#

No.

#

NO

#

NO

rotund radish
#

What am I supposed to do then

#

What does force applying to a vector means

cold gorge
#

Force is applied at a point.

#

And moment of force is yet another physical quantity.

rotund radish
#

What does force applying to a point imply

cold gorge
#

Pushing or pulling that point.

#

Force is a physical quantity.

#

Your weight would be a force applied by Earth on you.
(You're overthinking this shit) you said you knew what cross product meant, but you ended up adding some random vectors when asked for a cross product.

#

You should revisit some key fundamentals. Maybe what a vector is in the first place? Then position vector and stuff.

#

And finally, cross product.

rotund radish
#

But I need to finish this assessment in 2 hours

#

So can you like tell me to how to solve this

cold gorge
#

Two hours are more than enough to know what a vector is.
And r × F is what you have to do, that's about as much as I can tell you.
After this, you'd do the product and end up getting the answer? So it's just that really after that.

there fore the values that satisfy it are 35 + 12C ≥ 100

tranquil pine
#

that shows what it says about having a value equal or more than 100 because that would help me understand

#

@stoic temple

stoic temple
#

at least means not less than

#

not less than is greater than or equal to

tranquil pine
#

so do you just flip the greater than or less than symbol

#

when it says atleast

#

@stoic temple

#

May you go over it all

#

and say how you switched the greater than sign or less than symbol and why you switched it in the equation

#

what caused you to switch it

fossil shuttle

what did I do wrong

final saddleBOT
marsh temple
#

Nothing yet

#

Who claims you did something wrong?

fossil shuttle
#

because isn't the x^2 supposed to be alone

marsh temple
#

What's the question?

fossil shuttle
#

solve each of the following quadratics by factoring

marsh temple
#

You can factor with a coefficient in front of the x^2

#

It'll just be in the form (x+a)(3x+b)

fossil shuttle
#

oh

#

so do i still need sum and product?

marsh temple
#

Indeed

fossil shuttle
#

of 5 and -2?

marsh temple
#

Your product needs to be scaled by the leading coefficient

#

So you need a product of 3*(-2)

fossil shuttle
#

yes

#

so would it be
5 = ? + ?
(-2) = ? + ?

marsh temple
#

I'm not sure what that means

fossil shuttle
#

im confused

#

like isnt there supposed to be a sum and product?

marsh temple
#

You want two numbers that add to 5 and multiply to -6

fossil shuttle
#

-6 doesn't get divided by 2?

marsh temple
#

Why would it?

fossil shuttle
#

because 10 did

#

i got 6 and -1

#

is that correct

marsh temple
#

10 got divided by 2 because you're factoring out a 2

fossil shuttle
#

ohh

marsh temple
fossil shuttle
#

2(x+6)(x-1)

#

like that?

marsh temple
#

No

#

Your leading term is 3x^2

fossil shuttle
#

OH

#

so not 2?

marsh temple
#

You can divide both sides of your equation by 2 to remove it if you want

fossil shuttle
#

2 (3x^2+6)(x-1)

marsh temple
#

That gives you a leading term of 3x^3

fossil shuttle
#

😭

marsh temple
#

I think you need to stop skipping steps

fossil shuttle
#

what did i skip

marsh temple
#

You're starting with the equation 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0

#

Now you should decompose the 5x term using the two numbers you previously found

fossil shuttle
#

3(x^2+6-1) = 0

marsh temple
#

No

fossil shuttle
#

..

marsh temple
#

To decompose 5x means to rewrite it as 6x - 1x

fossil shuttle
#

thanks anyway.

im so confused

#

my answer is - (e^x)/

#

ok idk how to explain it in writing

#

thats my answer

#

2 problems

#

not only is that none of the answer choices i see

#

but when i search up the derivative to the problem the answer it gives isnt any of the answers either

glad glacier
#

one of their answers is correct

jolly viper
#

hoq

#

how

#

oh and number 3

#

the answer choices have 1-u^2

#

instead of u^2-1

#

which is what the trig derivative of cscx is

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

so I tried using right triangle method to further look into this problem

#

and i got

which still isnt equal to any of the answers

loud jasper
#

can someone help me with this i came up with the equation 2000-2x=sqrt2x^2 and solved for 2000-1000sqrt2 but that isnt an option

final tangle
#

careful with how you defined x

#

note that you defined x to be the leg of the isosceles triangle
and not the side length of the octogon

loud jasper
#

what do you mean?

final tangle
#

did you draw a diagram with this?

loud jasper
#

yeah

final tangle
#

show what you drew

loud jasper
final tangle
#

solved for 2000-1000sqrt2
is this the value of x?

loud jasper
#

how would i know if it is?

#

like how do i go about that

final tangle
#

well you said that's the value you obtained

#

solving your equation lead you to
something = 2000-1000sqrt2
was that "something" x

loud jasper
#

yeah

final tangle
#

now look at your diagram

loud jasper
#

oo

final tangle
#

your x represents

the leg of the isosceles triangle

loud jasper
#

yeah

final tangle
#

so that's what you've calculated from that

loud jasper
#

so what equation would make sense to get the length of the octagon?

final tangle
#

well what's the equation initally you set up and why

#

why did you set
2000-2x equal to sqrt(2x^2)
where did those expressions come from?

loud jasper
#

i thought that 2x would be the kinda "excess" of one of the side lengths of the square and sqrt(2x^2) would be the hypotenuse of the triangle which is also the side length of the octagon

final tangle
#

yes

#

exactly

#

those are the lengths of the octogon

#

(in terms of x)

#

having found x
plug that in and you'll have the numerical value for the side length

loud jasper
#

o ok but is there like a seperate equation where i can find the side length directly?

final tangle
#

you could set it up differently

#

i.e. use your variable of choice to represent the side length of the octogon, instead of leg of the triangle

#

express the other lengths in terms of that

#

and solve like before, applying the same principles/idea

loud jasper
#

so what would the equation look like if i use x as the side length?

final tangle
#

determine the side legs of the triangles in terms of x

loud jasper
#

(2000-x)/2?

final tangle
#

yes

#

applying the same principles/idea
i.e. pythag for the hyp (a side of the oct)

#

and set the expressions for sides equal to each other
and solve for x

loud jasper
#

so what would the other side be?

final tangle
#

read above

#

applying the same principles/idea
i.e. pythag for the hyp (a side of the oct)
the same way you applied pythagoras before

loud jasper
#

o ok i think i get it thanks

wicked musk
#

Is it true that when there is a dot between a scalar and a vector, it is just scalar multiplication and not dot product? I'm confused because they're contradicticng each other.

royal gust
#

It could be. However, since the question is about "whether or not the operations make sense", I think they're trying to be very clear about the operations they're using

#

So every • is a dot product

wicked musk
#

In this question (letter c), is it dot product or scalar multiplication?

#

@royal gust

final saddleBOT
#

@wicked musk Has your question been resolved?

whole halo
#

the . means dot product

wicked musk
#

how can I solve them?

whole halo
#

you should google what cross product is

wicked musk
whole halo
#

then presumably for (c) and (d), . and x can also stand in for scalar multiplication

sick roost
#

likewise, the transpose definition
$$a\cdot b = a^{T}b=ab^{T}$$
is also undefined for the same reason

soft zealotBOT
#

Cycadellic

sick roost
#

a dot product is generally an inner product, which must always be a scalar

#

so the interpretation that a scalar dot a vector is a scalar product does not make much sense, and i feel it is ill defined to say they are the same

wicked musk
#

then should I just say that the letter c is impossible to compute?

sick roost
#

yeah

#

if we know that * is a dot, and a,b,c are vectors
a*b*c isnt computable

#

unless, i suppose, they are all singletons

sick roost
#

also, most lin al people dont traditionally see singletons as vectors, so, its a pedantic point you shouldnt worry about

wicked musk

okay thanks!

well, make sure you are operating in degrees for one thing

unborn fern
#

I have no idea what I did wrong

pale oracle
#

that's not the right formula

unborn fern
#

yah I am in degrees mode

#

I rearranged it

pale oracle
#

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(C)

#

...or at least

#

not the right context

#

how is BAC = a^2???

vital crag
pale oracle
#

find AC first.

vital crag
#

Don't skip algebraic steps

unborn fern
pale oracle
#

,rotate

soft zealotBOT
pale oracle
#

start over, man

#

find AC

unborn fern
#

what's ac

#

from A to C?

pale oracle
unborn fern
#

I found it to be 9.9

pale oracle
unborn fern
#

but if I plugged in everything y is it still wrong

#

🫠

pale oracle
#

I recommend you use Law of Sines to find either one of the missing angles.

unborn fern
#

so cos law doesn't work for these?

pale oracle
#

well, you rounded to one decimal place

#

do you need higher precision?

#

9.868576408

unborn fern
#

I don't think my school is that precise

pale oracle
#

that answer is correct.

unborn fern
#

hmmm

pale oracle
#

...to one decimal place

#

let's find the angles

unborn fern
#

did I rearrange it correctly

#

I found angle ACB to be 43.15 degrees

pale oracle
#

$\frac{\sin{(75)}}{9.868576408} = \frac{\sin{(A)}}{9} \rightarrow A = \arcsin{\left(\frac{9\sin{(75)}}{9.868576408}\right)}$

soft zealotBOT
#

Melvin Eugene Punymier

unborn fern
#

wutttt the flip

#

so I can't use law of cos for these?

pale oracle
#

sure you can

#

LoS is faster though

unborn fern
#

but y is it wrong

#

ohoh

pale oracle
#

shouldn't be, if you did it right

unborn fern
pale oracle
#

I got 61.75239055 degrees

unborn fern
#

for Bac?

pale oracle
#

yeah, for angle A

#

aka BAC

#

this is a simple figure

#

I know they say "angle BAC"

unborn fern
#

tru

pale oracle
#

but there's only 3 points on this one triangle

#

so it's unambiguous what we mean if we just say, "angle A"

unborn fern
#

holy cow

#

guess what

pale oracle
#

wat

unborn fern
#

my other angle was right!

pale oracle
#

~neat~

unborn fern
#

I added them up to be 179.9

pale oracle
#

ok

#

possible rounding error?

unborn fern
#

I'll try use law of cos again to redo it with all the decimal places

pale oracle
#

mmm...

#

you'll be faster if you only use that when you need it

#

law of sines is faster than law of cosines

how did they do that

#

i dont see how they got to the bottom part

rancid prairie
#

LCM

hybrid heath
#

I believe they used a first order approximation of square roots (this could be incorrect)

green plank
#

is that binomial expansion

livid ice
#

I would guess you must have some kind of formula for that approximation

#

Notice it's all squiggly signs not equal signs

Each step is an approximation

green plank
#

does this help

#

even with the part a , i dont understand how they got it

livid ice
#

"Small angle approximation for cos x"

#

They are basically saying when x is sufficiently small you can say cos x is decently approximated by that formula

green plank
#

i mean the part after that

#

how did they do that

livid ice
#

It looks like another approximation formula

#

It's not equality so there's no algebra to make those equal

#

You must have been given a formula for approximating that, maybe related to binomial expansion form mentioned in that other step

livid ice
#

The class youre in must have specifically gone over this method for approximating square root of a sum

green plank
#

they subbed in the 2 - x^2 /2 , got rid of the power and put a half at the front

#

how

livid ice
#

Because it's not equality

#

They are showing you a trick for approximating square roots

#

The expressions aren't equal to each other

floral nova
#

This is just the result of a taylor expansion of sqrt(1-x^2). If you've seen how to find the small angle approximation for cosine you should have seen this at some point

#

Write $\sqrt{1-x^2} = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$, then $\int_{0}^{0.4} \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}} dx \approx \int_0^{0.4} 1-\frac{1}{2} \frac{x^{2}}{2} dx$ which is what you have.

,, \lim_{n\to\infty}\f{\s[n]{\f{n^n}{n!}}n^n +(n+\s[n]n)^n}{n^{n+\ff{\s[n]n}n}+n^n}

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

how do you go about evaluating this?

#

the answer ends up being e, but this is really monstrous

gritty solar
#

someone gave a toddler a crayon

plush merlin
gritty solar
#

first thought is to divide throughout by n^n

#

because that seems to be a common thing going on in all the terms

final saddleBOT
#

@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?

faint locust
#

The numerator will approach something + 1

#

,w n to infinity ((n^n)/(n!))^(1/n)

plush merlin
#

no e

faint locust
#

Dividing everything through n^n, that square root in the numerator approaches e, the bracket approaches 1, the denominator 1

plush merlin
#

i used wolfram to evaluate it

faint locust
#

ok

#

If we exapnd (n + n^(1/n))^n, won't it be n^n + o(n^n)

#

And when we divide by n^n, everything o(n^n) -> 0

#

And n^n/n^n = 1

faint locust
#

Or the entire exponent

plush merlin
#

idk what o(n^n) is but using binomial theorem will leave 1 so ig yes

tranquil pine
faint locust
tranquil pine
#

i would have specified with parentheses otherwise

faint locust
#

,w n^(n^(1/n)/n) for n to infinity

ocean lintel
#

1 I think

#

Just evaluate each term it's not that bad

primal sierra

For a list of 5 numbers, you can either add or subtract 1 from the first, 2 from the second, 3 from the third ... 5 from the last, or you can do the same, 1 from the second, 2 from the third, 3 from the fourth, 4 from the fifth, so on and so forth up to adding/subtracting 1 from the fifth. What is the minimum number of moves it takes for this list to become a list of 0's? (-2, 1, -7, -3, 8)

primal sierra
#

Right now, I have the answer of 25

#

I don't think that it is correct, and would like help in either verifying or disproving my answer.

sturdy cypress
#

it doesn't make sense

#

oh okay you can add

#

so there's 4 moves total?

primal sierra
#

there are 5 types of moves, and each can be an add or subtract, so there are a total of 10 moves

sturdy cypress
#

got it

primal sierra
#

the 5 types are 1 2 3 4 5, 0 1 2 3 4, 0 0 1 2 3, 0 0 0 1 2, and 0 0 0 0 1

#

each can be either added or subtracted

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

Anyone?

sturdy cypress
#

if you focus on one number left to right i get 37 moves

#

so i don;t understand what you did

primal sierra
#

first we add the 1 2 3 4 5 spray twice, to get 0 5 -1 5 18

sturdy cypress
#

same

primal sierra
#

then we subtract the 0 1 2 3 4 spray 5 times

#

0 0 9 20 38

#

oh wait

#

im stupid

sturdy cypress
#

right i think that's the way, that's 37

primal sierra
#

I got 35?

sturdy cypress
#

hm

primal sierra
sturdy cypress
#

that's without the first 2

#

wait no

#

that 0 0 0 0 5 i get 0 0 0 0 7

#

31 - 24

primal sierra
#

yep

#

i cant math

#

so we get 37

#

but is there faster?

sturdy cypress
#

no i think this is the only way

primal sierra
#

how so?

sturdy cypress
#

there's no point using both + and − 1 2 3 4 5
we would only use one type
and nothing else affects the first number, so we know we would use 2 and 0 of those

#

now exclude those operations and the logic repeats for the second number

primal sierra
#

How about the list 1 3 -2 -7 6?

sturdy cypress
#

oh you mean calculate this faster

#

yeah there's maybe a shortcut i just meant you can;t use less ops

primal sierra
#

ur explanation makes sense

#

so for this list, we would get 0 1 -5 1-11 0

#

0 0 -7 -14 -4

#

0 0 0 0 17

#

0 0 0 0 0

#

right?

#

for a total of 26 moves

#

@sturdy cypress

sturdy cypress
#

18 for the last step

#

hm

#

0 1 -5 1-11 1
0 0 -7 -14 -3
...

primal sierra
#

wait no

#

it would be -4

#

because you are subtracting 0 1 2 3 4

sturdy cypress
#

yeah but it's 1 after step 1

primal sierra
#

o yea

#

then we get 0 0 0 0 16

#

so we get 25 moves

sturdy cypress
#

i get 27

primal sierra
#

wait i can't add

#

ye i got 27 aswell

#

wait

#

the answer they gave was 26

sturdy cypress
#

well F

primal sierra
#

lol

#

i can only find the 27 though

sturdy cypress
#

they wrong

primal sierra
#

they explained one question, although it was pretty trivial

#

it was 0 0 0 -1 3

#

they made it

#

0 0 0 -1 -2

#

and then

#

0 0 0 0 0

#

for 6 moves

#

but the order we do it in shouldn't matter

#

even if we did our method, working from the back, we still get 6

#

0 0 0 0 5

#

0 0 0 0 0

#

which is 6

#

argh

#

OH

#

IM STUPID

#

@sturdy cypress the list is 1 3 -2 -7 5

#

so we get

#

0 1 -5 -11 0

#

0 0 -7 -14 -4

#

0 0 0 0 17

#

0 0 0 0 0

#

for 26!

sturdy cypress
#

right

#

maybe

#

i'm happy but don't want to check

vivid spear
#

Probably an ignorant question but how do functions like $sin^2(x)$ work? what does it even mean to 'square' a trigonometric function?

soft zealotBOT
#

Wapple

terse folio
#

sin(x) multiplied by sin(x) ?

vivid spear
terse folio
#

Oh

vivid spear
#

thats just a random screenshot from google images but thats what it is

terse folio
#

that comes from the identity sin^2x+cos^2x=1

vivid spear
#

but what does it even mean to square sin(x)?

#

how is it calculable? is it even a true function?

terse folio
rocky tusk
#

sinx gives you a number value between -1 and 1

vivid spear
soft zealotBOT
#

Wapple

rocky tusk
#

it just squares the output

#

yea it’s just the notation
