#

what about (1,3) and (3,1)

#

isnt that two different outcomes

sleek quartz
#

the 3-sided spinner will never give you 3

#

so (3,1) will never happen

#

which means order does matter actually mb

gusty slate
#

oh so basically when the two things have the same outcomes

#

like rolling two dice

#

then you can have the flipped case

#

because the dice all have 1,2,3,4,5,6 on its sides

#

but if it were two dice but with different numbers on the sides it could not be flipped?

sleek quartz
#

for {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and {2, 3, 6, 7} you can have both (2, 3) and (3, 2)
you can always have the flipped case as long as they have multiple numbers in common

gusty slate
#

I see

#

that makes more sense bro

#

tysm!

sleek quartz
#

but to not confuse (or double count) (1, 7) and (7, 1) you should always keep order

#

What's the notation for a and b both divisible by c? (c|a) ∧ (c|b) I used c | (a, b) but some people use (a, b) for GCD notation and read it as the GCD divided by c.

pliant shore
#

So you should just say (c|a) ∧ (c|b) or something

tranquil pine
#

what is the other something?

pliant shore
soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

I think using mod is much better

#

like a iff b mod c

#

?

pliant shore
#

Oh right that's also possible

pliant shore
#

Wait no

#

That's they leave the same remainder

#

So mod wouldn't be applicable here

empty junco
#

i think $a \equiv 0 \pmod c$

soft zealotBOT
#

rayn422

empty junco
#

same for b

pliant shore
#

Okay yeah that's how

tranquil pine
#

yeah but the point is I want a short notation premise for c divides both a and b

pliant shore
pliant shore
#

Or worse, think you mean one thing when you mean something else

#

Just use words

#

c divides both a and b

#

There you go

tranquil pine
#

yeah this is why I wanted to ask

#

anyway thanks

lunar skiff

royal schooner
#

hmm is there a much deeper answer behind that which isnt normally covered in calc 1

lunar skiff
#

it has to do with how u calculate the integral or the area under a curve by dividing the area into smalle rectangles (formally they would call it partitions)

lunar skiff
#

now in order to have a more accurate results u need to increase the number of rectangles u have

lunar skiff
#

so basically u need an infinite number of rectangles, and when ever u want to use infinity u will use limits

#

(sorry for quality)

lunar skiff
#

@royal schooner , i think u have fallen from me 😂

royal schooner
#

sorry was afk

#

im wondering how is it acceptable to say when du/dx = 2x, write du = 2xdx and substitute that in the integral when neither dx or du are numerical quantities

lunar skiff
royal schooner
#

yeah thats what my doubt is

#

on khan academy they did just that

plain stone
#

I want to ask about 3

final saddleBOT
plain stone
#

im sort of confused because it sort of seems obvious that this holds

#

im not sure how to reason about it

#

sorry that was a bad question

desert mantle
#

put into words why its obvious

plain stone
#

i really cant

#

it seems just very obvious

#

the right hand side is likely going to always be larger

#

unless y = x

#

in which both sides are equal

desert mantle
#

but why is it going to be bigger

plain stone
#

because you might be adding 2 diameters that exceed the diameter of x, z?

desert mantle
#

(d stands for distance)

plain stone
#

yeah sorry that makes a lot of sense, i mized them up

#

for instance the distance from x, y could be greater than the distance of x, z

desert mantle
#

d(x,z) stands for the shortest length of a walk from x to z

#

how can the right side represent a walk from x to z

plain stone
#

it looks like transitivity

#

technically it is only equivalent if

#

y = x

#

because then youre just doing 0 + the distance from x to z

desert mantle
#

well the graph could also look like
x --- y --- z

fiery pasture
#

If the graph is finite and connected (you can get to each vertex from any other) then either y lies on a path between x and z (in which case the LHS and RHS are equal) or it does not in which case the d(x,z) is closer than the walk involving vertex y.

mellow axle
plain stone
fiery pasture
#

ehh i guess i need something like y lies on the shortest path between x and z or something.

#

could you just do the triangle by exhaustion? Case I: x-y-z, d(x,z)= 2 = d(x,y)+d(y,z) = 2. Case II: x-z-y, d(x,z)=1 < d(x,y)+d(z,y) = 2. insert vertices in appropriate places.

#

(oops I'm new, I see how channels work now. my bad)

desert mantle
#

d(x,z) is the length of the shortest walk from x to z
d(x,y)+d(y,z) is the length of the shortest walk from x to z which includes y.
clearly the first has to be <= the second, because every walk from x to z which includes y is at the very least a walk from x to z so it also counts for the first one

flat fiber
#

im not sure what this is

final saddleBOT
fast heart
#

Well integration is just finding the area under the graph

#

If your curve is the rate of flow, and your integrating with respect to time

honest valve
fast heart
#

Well I would think about it as effectively multiplying flow of cars by time

#

If your graph was a straight line that would be how you find the area, integrating the curve is performing the same task

flat fiber
#

That makes me think that the area under curve for flow for certain amount of time would be the total number of cars then?

fast heart
#

So if rate of flow is cars per time, and you're multiplying by time, what is it showing?

flat fiber
#

got it ty

fast heart
#

Now think about the fact it's a definite integral

#

What would the 5 and 2 represent

flat fiber
#

im confused whether its from 2 to 5 or just 3 hours

fast heart
#

So it tells you t=0 is midnight

#

Then what would 2 and 5 potentially represent

flat fiber
#

so that implies its 2am and 5am

fast heart
#

Yup

flat fiber
#

ty

honest valve
#

Can I suggest a different way to think about the problem?

flat fiber
#

sure

honest valve
#

When you see the flow "rate", you know it's how many cars per time (i.e number of cars/time) the integral essentially allows you to multiply the flow rate at any time by dt, so you'd end up getting #of cars/time X time

#

Getting just #of cars

#

Area doesn't always have to come into the picture

#

The limits tell you which times to look between

flat fiber
#

why is it time x time?

honest valve
#

Sorry (#of cars/time)xtime

flat fiber
#

ah ok

#

that makes sense ty

honest valve
#

I just want to help you understand that the integral is essentially and infinite sum of very small things, it tends to be a lot better when people understand in this way, rather than "it's the area"

My first solution in this channel, sorry if the form doesnt meet requirement

#

Basically, u apply the trick on ax^2+bx+c==0 with solutions x0+x1==-b/a && x0×x1==c/a

#

(the structure of the solution is messy but ideal for learner not just simply copying)

#

U need to understand and comprehend

#

how did u get x1x0 = p^2?

#

*subscript

bitter monolith

This should be basic

crisp epoch
#

how do you even think of using that here 💀

bitter monolith
#

Math is either straightforward or magic

crisp epoch
#

where did the p^2 come from

#

i know you used vieta's but wouldn't it be equal to k^2p^2

verbal gale
final saddleBOT
verbal gale
#

i feel like this is false but im confusing myself

formal trail
#

what is confusing you?

verbal gale
#

so the homogeneous solution set of the span thing is a subset of the solution ax=b right?

formal trail
#

the corresponding homogenous system is Ax = 0

#

so it's asking whether the set of vectors that satisfy Ax = 0 will also satisfy Ax = b

#

note that every solution to Ax = b *can *be constructed as the sum of one particular solution to Ax = b, with any solution to Ax = 0

verbal gale
#

hmm okay while the homegeneous set is not the only solution set of Ax=b, but Ax=b can be constructed with the sum of Ax=b and Ax=0?

#

I think i got it thank U

reef canyon
celest crane
#

Yes.

reef canyon
#

why?

celest crane
#

You found the derivative of dz/dy, but not dy/dv.

#

And the derivative of ln(x^2 + 3xy)^-4 would become ^-5, not ^-3.

reef canyon
#

oh wait so the derivative is correct?

#

if I change the -3 to -5

celest crane
#

No.

#

You still did not find dy/dv.

reef canyon
#

ik but my issue is dz/dy here

#

when I plug the values into it I get an error

celest crane
#

Aside from the exponent, that part is correct.

reef canyon
#

I tried plugging (1,0) into it and I get a math error

celest crane
#

Yes, but you still need to multiply it by dy/dv.

reef canyon
#

how would I compute its value to multiply it by dy/dv

#

if it gives me a math error

celest crane
#

Look at this example.

reef canyon
#

I get that but computing the values of dz/dy gives a math error

celest crane
#

What answer are you giving?

reef canyon
celest crane
#

Do you have any idea why it would be giving you a math error?

reef canyon
#

no

celest crane
#

What does the ln(1) equal?

0

#

I see now but then still, how would I compute it

celest crane
#

What is the full question?

#

There seems to be something missing.

reef canyon
#

this is it

celest crane
#

Not part a?

reef canyon
#

unrelated

celest crane
#

No, #3 part a) part b)

#

Well, the first thing I would say is that z(1,0) DNE so it is not continuous at (u,v)=(0,0).

mellow owl
#

number 8, this has to do with exponential functions

sleek quartz
#

have you tried setting up equations

mellow owl
#

yeah i probably set it up wrong

sleek quartz
#

feel free to show what you tried

mellow owl
sleek quartz
#

ok so for a) $\frac{18000}{5700} \approx 3.15$ half life periods have passed right

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

yes

sleek quartz
#

and each time a half life period passes there's 0.5 times the last period's carbon

mellow owl
#

where did u get 0.5?

#

OH half life

#

the answer is 11.3%

sleek quartz
#

that's it yeah

mellow owl
#

but i just don’t know how to get to it.

sleek quartz
#

well after 5700 years there's $y =.5^\frac{5700}{5700} = .5$ right

soft zealotBOT
sleek quartz
#

or after $2 \cdot 5700$ years there's $.5^2 = .25$ right

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

yes

sleek quartz
#

so after 18000 years there's $.5^\frac{18000}{5700} = 0.113$ left

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

times tht by 100 then boom my answer

sleek quartz
#

👍

mellow owl
#

okay so did you do .5^18000/5700?

#

just to get the answer?

sleek quartz
#

yeah that's it

#

and then *100 obviously

mellow owl
#

did i set up my equation wrong?

#

like in the first step

sleek quartz
#

yeah you said something like $5700 \cdot .5^\frac{1}{18000}$

mellow owl
#

oh yeah

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

what was it supposed to be? y= 0.5 ^18000/5700?

sleek quartz
#

yeah, if we take things one step at a time 18000/5700 = 3.15, so 3.15 periods have passed

#

$(.5)^{3.15} = 0.113$

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

ohh okay

#

got it

#

so for b) it says how many years after an organism dies will the amount of C-14 that remains be 20% of its original amount

sleek quartz
#

try explaining to me why this gives you the correct answer

$(0.5)^\frac{t}{5700} = 0.2$

soft zealotBOT
sleek quartz
#

or $(0.5)^T= 0.2$ tbh

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

if that makes sense

#

0.5 represents half a life, t represents the time period and then 5700 is like the start

#

and 0.2 is like 20% of it

sleek quartz
#

i would say that

  • 0.5 is the half life
  • t is the amount of years
  • t/5700 is the amount of 5700 year periods
  • 0.2 is the amount we want to have left
#

so in $0.5^\frac{t}{5700} = 0.2$, we want to know how many 5700 year periods get us to 0.2 left

soft zealotBOT
mellow owl
#

ohh okay

sleek quartz
#

at that point you just solve for t

mellow owl
#

yeah i got it

#

okay thank you so much

#

What is definition 2 ?

sacred lodge
#

And this is the definition

royal gust
#

They really want you to find the area of a √ function with pure Reimann sums, huh?

#

Well, you'll want to find the riemann sums expression for this function, first

mellow axle
royal gust
#

Oh thank god

#

My brain was ready for a tough limit problem I guess

#

Anyway, I personally like to use a few rectangles to get a sense of the pattern

#

Because this is between 4 and 7, I suggest trying 3 rectangles, they should fit nicely

mellow axle
#

i think they want you to use the general expression

#

nvm i think you just meant use 3 as an example

sacred lodge
#

So what should I do

#

Do x1=4, x2=5, x3=6 left end points

#

Because I was thinking of changing the f(x) into sum of the big S

#

Or is that the wrong way

mellow axle
#

yeah your answer at the end will look like $\sum_{i=0}^\infty something$

soft zealotBOT
#

chebyshev's infinite pee norm

mellow axle
#

but you can go ahead and try a small example with 3 rectangles to start if you want

sacred lodge
#

For dx I got 3/n through (7-4)/n

mellow axle
#

Yep

sacred lodge
#

Right or left endpoints don’t matter right??

#

So it would be something like E f(x)3/n = lim n- infinity E (x^2 + sqrt(1+2x) 3/n

I was on vacation and have to study off the notes we did in class

I understand a) but I do not understand b)
why did my teacher put the (1) ? how did he get there? did he just input an equation on his own so the answer would equal 4?

blissful meadow
#

You want some x such that f(x) = -2.

#

Since we have a formula for f(x), that amounts to finding some x such that -3x + 7 = -2

#

Hmm

#

Nvm just realized it's from graph hhaha

fluid oriole

no worries lol

#

my friend just sent me a video i think i got it

sterile trout
#

heres the question, i got the correct answer but my solution seems to be different than the one they've given in my book and google. so i want to know whether the solution ive used is logical

heres my solution

12y = x^3

y = x^3/12

y' = (x/2)^2

y' = 25 (at x = 10)

i.e, dy/dx = 25, meaning y cord changes 25 times faster than x cord

sterile trout
#

does this solution make sense logically?

faint crow
#

I would take the partial

sterile trout
#

well, tbh my solution is similar, but i dont get why they need to differentiate w.r.t to time

faint crow
#

You don’t need to

sterile trout
#

yeah

#

i have a doubt

#

how did they differentiate x^3 as 3x^2, this isnt possible right since we are differentiating w.r.t to time

faint crow
#

If you are using t you have to paramaterize it otherwise d/dt = 0

sterile trout
#

(t --> time)

faint crow
#

They made error

#

x^3 d/dt = 0 not 3x^2

sterile trout
#

hm yeah

faint crow
#

Oh they did a implicit chain rule

#

I see

#

Completely useless

sterile trout
#

so you cant differentiate a variable when its w.r.t to another variable?

sterile trout
faint crow
sterile trout
#

oh.

#

right

#

what have they done then

faint crow
#

Which is just wrong

sterile trout
#

"applied chain rule assuming there was a function x(t)"

#

wdym

#

im a beginner sorryy

faint crow
#

Do you know chain rule

sterile trout
#

i do

faint crow
#

Eh I’m just trying to justify some weird thing they did

#

Bottom line is it’s incorrect

sterile trout
#

hm okay

faint crow
#

And the notation is wrong

sterile trout
#

um i have another doubt

#

how did they differentiate πr² when its w.r.t to dt!!!!

#

is this also rltd to implicit chain rule or whatever

indigo owl
#

chico

faint crow
sterile trout
#

can you give like an example

static pier
#

Seems like a Chinese remainder theorem problem

#

I’d start with looking at that

#

Honestly, it’s fairly straight forward, but takes a sec to figure out. A YouTube video will help significantly more than whatever I can type in here.

#

Alternatively ig u could do it by definition, but that’s not as nice. Will be easier to understand tho

#

Okay, so can you rearrange your question into equations? It’ll make it easier

#

You mean x=8n + 2 = 27k + 3?

#

Okay, so then just solve the equation 8n+2 = 27k + 3

#

Y?

#

Because they may not be the same number, remember that we are working mod 27 and mod8. So we really just want some multiple of 27 and some multiple of 8 the number of times you add it doesn’t matter

#

And in fact they are not the same number. If they were you’d get some weird decimal places but in fact u need integers

#

Yeah, x.

#

But x relies on both n and k when consider it this way

#

Right cos x=2mod8=3mod27

#

Which is also solveable, but I find it easier to put it in the other form first

#

Not according to what u said the question was

#

Either use Chinese remainder thrm or use trial and error or make an algorithm to solve it or use a graphing software to find where they intercept. Probably some other ways to that I can’t think of

#

They don’t have to be prime, just co prime

#

Here’s a really good resource that explains it better

#

Got to the bottom ish of page 2

#

Ye

#

Ahh, that’s beyond my pay grade. I think the solution is not solveable by crt in some cases

#

It will work in other cases

#

I’m sure there’s some way to tell

#

But I have no idea what it is

#

But yeah if crt can’t do it then it is not solveable at all tho

sturdy cypress
#

we can solve it, if there is a solution

static pier
#

Thanks, that’s a bit more concise

sturdy cypress
#

i don't know if it counts as doing crt, because it's not technically a method you do

static pier
#

Really? Shit, my bad.

sturdy cypress
#

well it depends on what you mean by "doing crt" i guess

#

i'm being vague because i don't know much about it

static pier
#

Well, yeah. I mean u should be able to re organise your system of equations to make something solveable by crt if it’s possible no?

sturdy cypress
#

coprime guarantees a solution
sometimes solution exists even if not coprime

#

that's all i know

#

29 56 83

#

are 27k+2

#

83 works

final saddleBOT
#

@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?

sturdy cypress
#

i used nothing

#

that's the method, i listed 27k+2 and i noticed that 83 works

#

that's the smallest

#

because 80 is one of multiples of 8

#

it means 83 is 3 mod 8

#

so it takes a long time in general, you need to find remainder for every number

#

but in this case, it was very easy, because it happened to be the third number i checked, and not like fifteenth

#

no

#

the opposite

#

83 is already 2 mod 27

#

and i checked mod 8

#

you should choose the direction so the numbers grow faster

#

27 is larger than 8

#

so you add 27 to 2

#

instead of adding 8 to 3

ripe ingot
#

hi could somebody possibly help me understand this solution? this is the question

ripe ingot
#

i understand how to do this, it’s getting the equations for R and C and subtracting them to get to P

#

but i’m confused on how the given answer does it

#

this is how they solve it; it all makes sense to me except for the part where they multiply 2q by q+4/q+4

#

i’d really appreciate it if someone could explain to me why you can do that to get to the answer

tranquil pine
#

like

#

,, \4ab + \4cd

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

assume b and d are not the same

#

then, to add those fractions, you need to have a common denominator

#

easy way to do this is multiply both sides by the other denominator to make a common denominator. As in: [
\4ab +\4cd = \0r{\4dd\2}\4ab + \4cd\0r{\2\4bb}
]

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

here this process can be simplified as 2q has a denominator of 1, so you just need to multiply by q+4/q+4 for 2q

#

hope this is understandable

ripe ingot
#

ah ok i see i didn’t know you could do that! thank you :)

tranquil pine
# ripe ingot ah ok i see i didn’t know you could do that! thank you :)

So to complete the process fully, it would be: [
\4ab +\4cd = \0r{\4dd\2}\4ab + \4cd\0r{\2\4bb} = \4{ad}{bd} + \4{cb}{bd} = \4{ad + cb}{bd}
]
Going back to your example: [
2q - \4{q^2 + 8q +4}{q+4} = \4{2q}1 - \4{q^2 + 8q +4}{q+4} = \0r{\4{q+4}{q+4}\2}\4{2q}1 - \4{q^2+8x+4}{q+4}\0r{\2\411}
]

soft zealotBOT
tranquil pine
#

you can try finishing the algebra by yourself from here

ripe ingot
#

yeah i see that makes sense

#

just didn’t know that was a rule hahah

thank you so much!

how do you graph a tangent? I watched this guys video where he tries to graph f(x) = -2tan(x+π/2) i get it how he's doing but there are 2 things i dont get.

  1. he didnt include the two and adjusted the graph to it
  2. he found x-scale as π/2 but someone told me x-scale was found π/4 but it was a cosine/sine function so is it different for tan and cot?

Here's the video:

final tangle
#

whos saying pi/4

#

oh, you may be mixing up scale with horizontal shift

gleaming bluff
final tangle
#

who

gleaming bluff
#

idk it was an arabish name

#

i asked this earlier

#

she found period π

#

no uhm,okay not period

#

i mean x scale

#

period/4

#

she said

#

the below line is the solution as we found

#

what is an x-scale btw i still dunno what does it represent she just added π/4 over these so is it the gao between those 2 dots

final tangle
#

the scale you choose can help it easier to show locations of key parts of the graph

gleaming bluff
#

oh ok

final tangle
#

they've chosen to use pi/4 for each gap since peaks/troughs occur every odd multiple of pi/4
and the function is 0 at even multiples of pi/4

#

tan doesn't have stuff like peaks/troughs so not much to gain to use a smaller scale, though you can if you want

gleaming bluff
#

yea so pi/4 is correct for sin?

#

and cos

#

what do i do with tan

final tangle
#

use whatever scale you want to show the info you want

gleaming bluff
#

so how do i do this -2 tan x + π/2 thing

final tangle
#

start with tan(x)
then do the horizontal shift
vertical stretch
then relfection

gleaming bluff
#

what is the horizontal shift here

#

vertical shift is -π/2

final tangle
#

,tex .transformation rules

soft zealotBOT
#

ℝαμΩℕωⅤ

gleaming bluff
#

oh but uhm isnt this a vertical translation here?

final tangle
#

no

gleaming bluff
#

huh

#

but

#

like

#

ive done it this way since the beginning of the chapter for sin and cos

final tangle
#

show those specific examples

gleaming bluff
#

okay wait

#

for example the picture i just sent u

#

has π/2

#

oh okay

#

okay

#

i meant horizotnal as well i was just confused

#

english is my second language thats why

#

sorry abt that

#

okay so what do we do with -2?

#

as i saw on the book

final tangle
#

vertical stretch
then relfection

gleaming bluff
#

when we add like a tanx and a > 0 then tanx startes to look more like a

#

line

#

yk

#

is this correct

#

and same for 2 but with -tanx

final tangle
#

not sure what you mean

#

think of pulling a rubber band

gleaming bluff
final tangle
#

ok. sure, on the same scale it'll start to resemble a straight line

BAD and DAM being congruent means that AD is the bisector of BAM, which means that BD = DM.
M being the midpoint of BC means that BM = MC = 2BD.
I would recommend giving names BD = x, and AD = y, and every other side needed as a function of either (x is probably better). With the relations of these you can compute the trig functions of the angles, and thus get the angles.

low yew
#

Any easier method isnt possible?

#

Like using congruency

#

"easier" is not universal. Can you not use any of the things i've mentioned for some reason?

#

as in, have you not studied any of the mentioned things? or are you asked to do it with specific procedures?

low yew
#

I understand what you have mentioned

#

Its just that it gets more complicTwd than it had to be

#

I will try thanks

severe hawk
#

honestly? very likely. I have not solved the exercise, and i just told you the first way i could think of, which is the one i'd choose unless there's additional restrictions

For example, if you dont have a calculator avaliable, and the ratios dont correspond to usual known angles, you'd be forced to use other methods

sure

low yew
#

AM-bisector.
AD/DM=AC/MC
But DM=BD and MC=2BD so we get that AC=2AD

ADC is a 90° triangle

So the angle C is X (Angle A is 2x)

X=30

I have a question on how to prove a limit
I can do this if epsilon is provided but all the examples I've seen of doing it without epsilon being provided stump me

This is as far as I've gotten but I am not sure if it's correct at all

mellow axle
#

does that say $\lim_{x\rightarrow 3} 3x-7 = 2$

soft zealotBOT
#

chebyshev's infinite pee norm

trim juniper
#

Yes

mellow axle
#

so in the scratch work you get your delta

#

you can start from the end of that scratch work and undo all those steps to get the right direction

#

so start with |x-3| < epsilon / 3

#

then undo each manipulation

trim juniper
#

Wouldn't you end up with the original eq again?

mellow axle
#

yes which is what you're trying to prove

#

let $\epsilon > 0$ and choose $\delta = \epsilon/3$ then suppose that $|x-3|< \delta$ we get <undo the manipulations here>

soft zealotBOT
#

chebyshev's infinite pee norm

mellow axle
#

and you'll end up with $|f(x) - 2| = |3x - 7 - 2| < 3\delta = \epsilon$

soft zealotBOT
#

chebyshev's infinite pee norm

final saddleBOT
#

@trim juniper Has your question been resolved?

trim juniper
#

oh wait

#

So we are describing epsilon in terms of delta?

mellow axle
#

wdym

trim juniper
#

if we choose delta as epsilon/3, then we define | 3x - 7 - 2| < 3delta

how did the = epsilon come?

mellow axle
#

no

#

we are not defining |3x-7-x| < 3delta

#

look at the definition of the limit

#

for all epsilon

#

there exists a delta

#

if |x-x0| < delta

#

then |f(x) - L| < epsilon

#

so starting the proof

#

let epsilon > 0

#

choose delta = epsilon / 3

#

and suppose |x-3| < delta

#

then multiply both sides by 3

#

and split the 9 into 7 and 2

#

what do you end up with

trim juniper
#

Epsilon?

mellow axle
#

yes

#

so you've shown that if you start with |x-3| < delta

#

you end up with |3x - 7 - 2| < epsilon

trim juniper
#

| 3x - 7 - 2| > epsilon
3| x - 3| > epsilon
|x - 3| > epsilon/3

so if we take delta as epsilon/3
|x - 3| > delta
multiply both sides by 3
3|x-3| > 3delta
|3x-9| > 3delta
|3x - 7 - 2| > 3delta

mellow axle
#

all the inequalities are backwards

#

but yes

trim juniper
#

Missed that

trim juniper
#

brb in 5 mins

mellow axle
#

$\delta = \frac{\epsilon}{3}$

soft zealotBOT
#

chebyshev's infinite pee norm

mellow axle
#

what do you get when you multiply both sides by 3

trim juniper
#

|3x - 7 - 2| > 3(epsilon/3)
|3x - 7 - 2| > epsilon

#

Wait is it
|3x - 7 - 2| > 3delta = epsilon
or
|3x - 7 - 2| > 3delta = epsilon

#

like do you mean 3delta = epsilon or the entire inequality = epsilon

mellow axle
#

3dela = epsilon

#

also the inequalities are still backwards

trim juniper
#

I am used to using > more than < so I make that mistake a lot

trim juniper
#

Now I understand it!

#

Tysm!

I cant find the answer to this question, I've tried increasing 4 by the amount that 5 was increased by (7.5) but thats none of the answers. Another thing I tried is to divide 5 by 12.5 which gave me 0.4, I've tried adding and multiplying 4 by 0.4, which would give 4.4 and 2.0 respectively, which is none of the answers.

brazen tusk
#

so its fine if the width is larger than the length in this case?

#

I was thinking its a distraction to make the question more confusing, since its been added to alot of other questions before

#

but im not sure

#

yeah I know, so what did I do wrong?

#

proportions are two equal ratios

#

so am I meant to find the % increase from 4 to 5, then find what number is that % of 12.5?

#

alr let me try it

#

no sadly

#

is this part of percentage increase by any chance? this test is part of a chapter and I havent completely finished the chapter because of time constraints

#

percentage increase is a upcoming lesson in that chapter so

brazen tusk
#

let me try

#

I got 10, thats one of the answers!

#

I did 12.5x4 which is 50.0, then 50.0/5

#

which is 10

#

4/5 = x/12.5

#

alr tysm

#

yeah that could've worked too, but I prefer the way I tried

#

its something I learnt, just forgot to apply

#

alr ty gonna close it now]

This feels wrong. How can two vectors be the basis for $\mathbb{C}^3$ surely you would need at least 3??

soft zealotBOT
blissful meadow
#

I don't think it's claiming so. Isn't it just saying that U and V have a direct sum that is inside W, and not that W is said direct sum?

orchid hill
#

as in its a direct sum to some subspace of C^3

#

oh i guess mabey

#

im still curious would my assumption / intution be correct in that it is impossible to have basis for F^3 (where F is either C or R) with two vectors

blissful meadow
#

I think so yeah. That's why they don't go any further. The only requirement for the sum is that the intersection contains only the zero vector, and having both be l.i. means so.

huh fair

I have tried to google my way to finding an answer to this, but I haven't found any clear and concise proof that proves this claim. \

\textbf{Claim} Let $F\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a closed set and $x\in\mathbb R^n$. Then $d(x,F)=\inf{\lVert x-y\rVert :y\in F}$ is continuous. \

First of all, how does one prove this (I take anything, a sketch, a link...)? Also, is this true even without the assumption that $F$ is closed?

terse terrace
#

my friend got this question wrong and we're having trouble understanding what his teacher meant by "assumes equality"

static plinth
#

we're essentially trying to prove that the left is equal to the right hand side

#

that means we cant change anything on the right hand side

#

but we can change stuff on the left

#

cancelling out that 2 is assuming that the left is equal to the right

#

but it might not be

terse terrace
#

would it still not work if he wrote 2secx = secx + secx and replaced it with that

#

if i had to prove secx + a = secx + b given a = b then would it work to subtract both sides by secx and restate that a = b

lethal bronze
#

do you mean $\sec(x+a) = \sec(x+b)$ or $\sec(x) + a = \sec(x) + b$

soft zealotBOT
#

blahaquil

tough tiger
#

Because here again you are assuming that sec x + a = sec x + b since you are starting with it to prove than a = b

#

To show that this is madness, here is an example :
I could start with
1=2
then I multiply by 0 on both side (wich I can do) and I would have
0=0 wich is true.
In your reasoning that would mean that 1=2

final saddleBOT
#

@terse terrace Has your question been resolved?

terse terrace
#

yeah i see it doesnt work if they both get multiplied by 0

terse terrace
#

which is one to one i think

#

not multiplying by 0 though

tough tiger
#

Let’s say we do your way

#

How are you going to end up the proof ?

#

When will it be good and you will be able to say « okay so the left part of the equation does in fact equal the right part »

#

@terse terrace

terse terrace
#

i think its hard for me to understand why its not an "if and only if" thing
since a function like f(x) = x+c is injective
like why
"sec(x) + a = sec(x) + b iff (sec(x) + a) - sec(x) = (sec(x) + b) - sec(x)"
wouldnt be true

tough tiger
#

That’s true

#

This an iff

#

But in general we don’t do that because as showed my example, if you use a non invertible fonction (multiplying by 0) it would be messed up

#

But your professor is a bit weird to tell you that you can do the first to line

#

But not the third

#

Because you did nothing wrong

#

The only wrong thing is using an equality a = b and doing stuff with it when you don’t know yet that this equation is true

terse terrace
#

ok i see so if its not clarified thats its a non invertible function then its not really proven

#

i think i understand now thank you

tough tiger
#

Yes but here you didn’t do that

#

Si it’s good

#

But don’t do that again in math

#

If you want to prove a = b. You can do
a = …. and play with a (factorise, dévelop..) and try to find b

#

Or you can do a-b= …. and try to find 0

terse terrace
#

oh so writing sec(x) + sin(x)/cos(x) + cos(x)/(1+sinx) - 2sec(x) would work?

tough tiger
#

Yes

#

And then do stuff you did

terse terrace
#

okay thanks

tough tiger
#

You would end up with this thing equal 0

#

And that would conclude

torn ether
#

what did i do wrong for b) ?

final saddleBOT
torn ether
#

what approach should i take

final tangle
#

you seemed to have multiplied the (2x-3) by (2x-1) instead of just (x-1) in the bottom right

torn ether
#

oh

#

thats right

#

ill try again

#

ok the approach is wrong i think

#

i just end up with 0 = 0

#

what should i do

honest valve
#

Can I see your new working? I don't see why you'd get 0=0

torn ether
#

yeah

honest valve
#

I see

#

What you want to actually do is set the first line equal to zero rather than the quadratic

torn ether
#

what do you mean

honest valve
#

And then following that you can say the quadratic is equal to zero

torn ether
#

like rather than setting the equations equal to eachother to just set one of them = 0?

honest valve
#

Yeah

torn ether
#

hm

#

let me try

#

but its non calculator question

#

itd be kind of hard to do it

#

i think

honest valve
#

You can solve quadratics without a calculator

torn ether
#

yeah

#

just time consuming

#

in a test

honest valve
#

It's a skill that takes practice to get faster at

torn ether
#

true

#

is this right

#

<@&286206848099549185>

honest valve
#

I got x=3 or -1/2

#

And so did you

#

Mb 1 min

torn ether
#

yes but thats not all

#

i replaced sin 2x for x just for better readability

honest valve
#

sin2θ=-1/2 has solutions

torn ether
#

now we know sin 2x = 3 and sin 2x =-1/2

#

really

#

in an angle between pi/2 and 0?

honest valve
#

2θ=-pi/6, or 11pi/6

#

-π/6 doesn't work

#

2θ=11π/6 does work

torn ether
honest valve
#

θ=11π/12

torn ether
#

im confused

honest valve
#

As solutions for sin, cos or tan repeat every 2π

#

For tan it's every π

torn ether
#

but

#

isnt pi/3 is sqrt(3)/2 no?

honest valve
#

π/6 is 1/2

torn ether
#

oh shit

#

you are right

#

so the anwsers are pi/12 and 11pi/12

honest valve
#

Why π/12?

torn ether
#

because you are multiplying the angle by 2

#

so you divide boths sides by 2

#

no?

honest valve
#

You'd want 7π/12, as it has to be -1/2

#

Not 1/2

torn ether
#

ok wait

#

let me think

#

ok got it

#

makes sense

#

i appreciate it

#

thanks 🙏

unique estuary
#

how and why does cos(-x/2) = cos(x/2)

final saddleBOT
wanton pine
#

well u know what cos x looks like right?

unique estuary
#

yeah

wanton pine
#

well cos x is an even function

#

which means there is symmetry about the origin

#

that means the negative side of cos x looks like the positive side of cos x

#

therefore cos(-x) = cos(x)

unique estuary
wanton pine
#

yep

unique estuary
#

so if in any equation it's cos(-x/2) it's best to simplify to cos(x/2)?

wanton pine
#

im not sure if its always best

#

but it can help

unique estuary
#

ok

unique estuary
wanton pine
#

it would be correct, but some people might specifically want cos(x/2) in order for u to get a mark on a test

so just be warey

wha

#

😭

#

if you square left hand side

final tangle
#

you didn't square properly

cerulean radish
#

you have to square the whole right hand side

not individually

its a + b

so it will be (a+b)^2

but you could do it that way

I suggest just keeping a and b to the right hand side and just doing (a+b)^2
