nvm its right
oh sweet
just that there's a discrepancy between undefined and 0 derivative
but it doesnt mean you're wrong
und is undefined for all of them?
yeah which is interesting
ngl i thought it was a german diagram
g(t) has a hole
acutally then maybe u are wrong
in general your reasoning is right but if g(t) is undefined at -5 and 5 there can't be a maximum
so are the zeroes the only maximum and minimum?
i dont think i can input DNA in these boxes
thats my only concern
it's not a relative minimum or maximum at 0
because the graph decreases, then levels out, then keeps decreasing
i guess i would just say -5 and 5
fair fair
but it isnt really defined
isee
so i take issue with the question but
so what is an inflection point
i was like 2 seconds from calling my dean before joining this server
lemme repaste the question
mhm
i am still quite confused on what they are
i had a question to identify them and i got it right
its like between maxima and minima
is that on first deri
aka where the second derivative changes sign
i see
oh
the graph i pasted is just the graph of any function g(t)
not the first derivative
so its g(t)?
yes
so zero
an inflection point is when g(t) switches concavity
is the only answr?
in ur problem its 0 yes
it says inflection points
worries me
it says my notation is invalid
i think it wants (,)
but its neg to neg around -5 and pos to pos at 5
wait pause
i mean in response to this question it doesnt matter the sign of g(t)
this whole graph could all be below the y axis
it would still be an inflection point
how would i write that in (,) format :/
if you're finding inflection POINTS you cant write it in interval notation
The inflection point marks the transition from concave up to concave down
Explanation
Identify the inflection point on the curve
The inflection point is where the curve changes concavity
Determine the concavity of the curve before and after the inflection point
Before the inflection point, the curve is concave up
After the inflection point, the curve is concave down
Describe the behavior of the curve at the inflection point
At the inflection point, the curve changes from concave up to concave down. The second derivative of the function is zero or undefined at this point
what makes this tricky is that an undefined second derivative doesn't imply a inflection point does it
True
sigh
so im gonna operate under the assumption that g'(t) is continuous
i has arrows i think
and that we don't have a cusp/corner/sharp point/whatever its called in g(t)
Thats just my way of remembering how to work it out.
am i supposed to input ordered pairs or smth
like know the y value
sounds impossible
it's impossible to know the y value
hahaha
are you sure there isnt another part of the problem
it is a 1 part problem and i sent the whole thing
like the questions around it are unrelated
ok
ok we know that g(t) has a point on it (0,0)
we know that from 0 to positive infinity it MUST be above the x axis
because it's always positive
and from -oo to 0 its below
that's all u have to do lmao
for the last 2
looks right to me
should i just leave G empty and message my professor
im tripping balls
this doesnt make sense
hahahaha
one sec sorry let me get a pen
Analyze the sign chart for g(t)
g(t) is negative from (-โ, -5), positive from (-5, 0), negative from (0, 5), and positive from (5, โ)
Analyze the sign chart for g'(t)
g'(t) is positive from (-โ, -5), negative from (-5, 0), negative from (0, 5), and positive from (5, โ)
Identify critical points
Critical points occur where g'(t) changes sign or is undefined. Based on the diagram, critical points are at t = -5 and t = 5
Determine the nature of critical points
At t = -5, g'(t) changes from positive to negative, indicating a local maximum
At t = 5, g'(t) changes from negative to positive, indicating a local minimum
that's what we said but its wrong
Oh
also g(t) is undefined at those points
so can you really call it a maximum/minimum if they're not defined?
I cant see any other way
from -5 to 5
Hang on
an increasing function with negative derivatives
I have no clue any more
sigh
you have all the logic
ill think about it more but the number line makes no sense
we did something like this one in a different section
Lemme grab a pen
but not quite like it
not as in i dont understand but as in it isnt fking possible
excuse the language
this on the other hand is possible
ur tryna find the volume for a cone
wait this problem is also impossible
oh no
who is this professor istg
he is a little cooked
do you know how big the sector is
you dont know r
12
it's not the radius of the circle
its the radius of the base after you fold it up
which requires knowing how big the part you cut out is
My teacher sets wild hw
can i just treat it like the radius of the circle
think visually about cutting that circle out, then joining the edges. the radius isn't 12
hahahaha
your circumference is smaller
because you've cut out part of it
angle BCA looks like 60 degrees so we can work assuming its 60 degrees if you want
My maths proffeser for my math lesson on monday just set more ๐
can i give u an answer to put in
should i move on again
then if its right ill explain
fair enough
Gimme a min
pretty sure the answer is $\frac{8\sqrt{35}}3\pi$
Vัณrtัx-
if we assume it's 60 degrees
i will attempt
if u wanna enter that
usually allows decimals and not fractions
oh
oh
nvm this is a calc question
ok do you understand how you fold that sector to get a cone?
no
ur folding a piece of paper
so that the arc length is joined to make the circle at the base
so l is 12
how do i find r with l
the arc length BA gives you the circumference of the cone after folding
so 60 deg
not quite
m
what is an arclength...
what's the length/circumference of the cut out circle
excluding the part that's cut out
no
$\frac{360-x}{360}\times2\pi12$
T^T
x/360 is the proportion that's cut out
i see
Vัณrtัx-
(360-x)/360 multiplied by the original circumference
we set x as the angle of the sector that's cut out
x is an arbitrary number we're later gonna take the derivative of
(i am like deflating)
because we're tryna see what the maximum volume is
my brain is not ready for these words
ok i dont think we can solve this problem rn
but i can give a general overview of how
o if ur downto do it i can
i might also not have time
but we'll see
basically what he's asking you is that given an arbitrary amount that's cut out, how do we maximize the volume given by this cone
the volume varies based on how much you cut out
what do i plug into the equation u gave mne
u dont plug in anything
wha
we're trying to find a general expression for the volume for an arbitrary angle x
you had sent that before
and then we're going to take the derivative of that equation to find the maximum
making equations are not my strongsuit fr
yea id prolly ask your prof about this problem
do u know the equation
one sec
given angle $x$ the arc length of $BA$ is $\frac{360-x}{360}\cdot2\pi12$
as a result that is equal to the circumference of our cone, so then to find radius r we do $\frac{c}{2\pi}=r$ to get $r=\frac{\frac{360-x}{360}\cdot2\pi12}{2\pi}$ which simplifies to $\frac{360-x}{30}.$
Then we have the height $h=\sqrt{12^2-r^2}=\sqrt{12^2-(\frac{360-x}{30})^2}$
Our final formula for volume is $V=\pi r^2\frac{h}3=\pi\cdot(\frac{360-x}{30})^2\cdot\frac{\sqrt{12^2-(\frac{360-x}{30})^2}}{3}$
Vัณrtัx-
looks like the maximum is 696.49896
i can try it
sure
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
actually one sec
IT WAS RIGHt
oh cool!
you are actually a legend
my teacher didnt even come close to explaining how to do that
yes
o
oh fun
yes
so your revenue is (98+x)(500-x) dollars a day
your net losses are 22(500-x) dollars a day
so maximize the equation (98+x)(500-x)-22(500-x)
what is "maximizing" an equation
fidn the maximum value
cant just solve for x
usually involves taking the derivative and finding where it equals zero
that expression isnt equal to anything
oh
when u maximize lmk i think i have the answer
212?
yessir
is that the answer..
no
hahaha
look at what the question is asking
what they should charge per day
yea
to max profit
is 212 the most money you can charge
its the daily room rate
no its not
wha
whats the difference
?
-22?
dawg the room rate is 98+x
ohhhhh
howd you get -22
idk
try it
find the second derivative
whatr
oh the red one is
my b
so -oo,6)U(2,oo) are concave up?
because second der is positive
also idk how you got 2
there isnt one
but i gotta put something there...
idk how the relative maxima is 9 either that seems wrong
none of those are allowed options...
u have time for 1 more?...
alr i feel like the first problem we did prepares u for this
i dont have time sorry
yeah np

Can someone please explain why it is so important for a and m to be coprime to find
ax = 1 (mod m)?
Basically why coprime is needed to find a modular inverse
Because if they are not coprime then ax cant be 1 mod m
Suppose a and m are not coprime, then gcd(a, m) = d > 1
ax = 1 (mod m) means there exists an integer k such that
ax = mk + 1
But d | ax and d cant divide mk+1, this is a contradiction
Thank you for all of this so far, so d | mk but d does not | 1. Why is it an issue that d can't divide 1? Would the beginning of the proof say that like all numbers in this proof are integers?
If d cant divide 1, then d cant divide mk+1
This means d cant divide ax
But d can divide a, so d can divide ax
which becomes a contradiction
ohh i see, so since ax = mk + 1 (mod m), if d divides one side but not the other then that is a contradiction
Yes
ahh thank you so much i really appreciate it. i saw with numbers how you would never get an x value but couldnt figure out how to prove it

I need help with this equation so I'm assuming I have to rewrite both of the expressions to Y
Hi @slender sky, can you walk me through what you are trying to do with your work?
I orioginally thought that I cant integrate this in respect to x and only y
so i tried changing both expressions to y
but now im lost thinking i did somethign wrong
I finished calc last spring, but if my memory suits me right then I would solve this with the following
Find the integral of y^2 - 6y - (4y - y^2)
do that on the interval from y = 0 to y = 5
Yeah from what i remember that is what you want to do, just do right - left, integrate and plug
Yeah no you are good, sometimes they want top - bottom but sometimes they want right - left, so you just want to have your equations with respect to x or y based on what makes sense
wait just want to clear it up shouldnt it be (4y-y^2)-(y^2-6y)?
since 4y-y^2 is the red
Ohh yeah that is right
okok perfect tysm
I do not blame you for being confused on this one haha
haha thank you so much for your help
my biuggest problem is i dont know when to change my equations in respect to x or y and thast what messed me up with this one
Yeah of course! I think your equation is something like 10y - 2y^2
Integral would be 5y^2 - 2/3y^3 + C
Plug in our values
5(5)^2 - 2/3 (5)^3 - [5(0)^2 - 2/3 (0)^3]

Sorry another question! I need help with this problem.
I struggle with graphing and I don't really know hwo to graph 2x+y^2=8 without using desmos but the integration part isn't hard for me
I really just need help with finding the bounds and whether to integrate in respect to x or y

i don't understand it, and idk what to do
not to sound passive aggressive but like
did u even read the project
directions
i did
whats there not to understand
Where u didn't understand
im just stresed about it
the algebra part, where you convert it
Im just confused on what to do
that is a very shitty worded question i cant lie
i know
very open ended
i think he uses chat gpt
but i assume they described it in like more detail in class or something
nope
he just gave it
and ran off
i asked him what to do
he said use your notes
bruh....
Do you want to see the notes, he didnt even write the title
i get it
for example
if the number of flowers in each row
increase by a multiple of 3
each time
your algebra would be
3n
cause for every value of n there is 3 flowers
or like
if it involves rows of flowers increasing by 3 in each row
u could do something like
okay
Im so confused
do u know what a sequence is
yeah
yes
the first term in the sequence
ok so
basicallt
just make a sequence
or look one up
and design the garden
based on
how the sequence increases
yeah
looks like it unless i missed something
but u also need to right out the sequence
okay
it seems that i got it
ill dm you if i need any help
also it looks like they want a slightly complicated sequence
since it wants 3 different patterns

So this is the eclipse im trying to model
Somebody already got the equation for me (x-20)^2 /7.5 -y^2/5 =1
But im so confused how they got the 20
Like i tried substituting values but i keep getting 17
@lapis sonnet
hmm
can we back up a bit what do you mean by model here
lyou want to make something like this?
No i want to make something like this
here's an example of how I'd do it in desmos, I use the regression stuff as a separate thing, not the one built in to the list since it's kind of broken
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yodidh0ioj
if you move a dot and it freezes, pressing Ctrl+Z fixes it for me
@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?
Yes, but for that purpose you'd need to take a photo of the bottle from a different angle
This angle is good:
This angle is bad:
Mainly because the cap is a cylinder
However, if you consider the surface of revolution of the red curve here you'd get something that looks like a bullet
So not a cylinder

i was watching this video
Previously in the Vector Calculus playlist (see below), we have seen the idea of a Line Integral which was an accumulation of some function along a curve.

bacc what the heck
so we have this
we are taking a small part of the curve ds
now we know that work done is F.ds

yours is slower but coutnerclockwise ๐ฆ
which we can rewrite as component of F along the curve direction times ds
coutner ๐ฆ
curve direction is just the unit tangent vector
so what are doing is finding F along the curve direction i.e Force along the tanegent vector
F along tangent vector is F.T
we are just rewriting F.ds as F.T ds
ds is magnitude and T is the direction
i got it right?
conclusion
I thought F.Tds = F.dr
yes
oh
i meant
F.ds is the formula we use in physics
bruh
F.ds = Work Done
F.T ds is work done
use this while finding the work done through line integrals
wait no
yes
nnvm
@drowsy epoch am i right ?
its hard to visualize the integral though ๐
i think so? lol
true
oh wait
that represents a vector field?
but 3b1b said that vector fields need 4D
no it's a scalar field
๐
geometrically you are integrating a scalar field over a curve and the result the surface area
they way I understood also is F.T is just work done comes from physics and then we have ds, so we get the work done along an infinitesimal small distance and summing these up to get the total work along a curve

I guess you liked my comment
i couldn't undertand it
so a neutral reply ๐
also i forgor how this is the case
so watching a video

ds is a small piece of arclength
multiply that by a height f
you get that yellow surface summing these up

you can use the cos(a + b) identity
to simplify cos(theta + 90)
or just think about how the graph shifts
Cos(theta)cos90
0
okay
but you're missing -sin(theta)sin(90)
the formula is cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)
0 - sin(theta)*1

Ok so let n = 2^(k-1) . j, k > 1, j odd
ฯ(n) = ฯ(2^[k-1]) . ฯ(j) = 2 . 2^(k-1) . j (since n is a perfect number)
ฯ(2^[k-1]) = 2^k - 1
So (2^k - 1) . ฯ(j) = 2^k . j
Since 2^k has only factors 2 and 2^k - 1 has no factors 2, ฯ(j) = 2^k . m, where m is odd (since j has no factors 2)
Now, (2^k - 1)m = j
If j is prime, j = 2^k - 1 (since k > 1 so 2^k - 1 has an odd factor that is not 1, sp ot must be equal to j on the rhs which has only 1 odd factor as j is prime)
But i just cannot prove that j is prime

pls can I have some help with this question
I think I only tick a since you can express that as a finite automaton
wheras Im not so sure about the others
@ruby quarry Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
ok I just tried creating one, I think it might be impossible actually
because you would need to count the number you go above or below 0 each time and an automaton can't do that
well a finite automaton certainly can't if you have infinite floors yeah
yeah, therefore that language cannot be regular
with b, I would assume the same logic applies there, you would need a method of counting
with c
hmm
we can set floors below zero or above 10 as accept states with 10 states in the middle so I believe this is regular
not sure about d tbh
yup, very similar to a, you still need to take into account all the Ups & Downs you got
it's the reverse
you wanna accept words that stay between 0 and 10
but yeah once you go out of bounds, you can just stop counting
ah yes
yeah
with d), I am looking for a language of all instructions that never visit a floor below 0 or above 10, and that returns to floor 0
yeah
can we say that this is regular because you can have a similar finite automaton to c), but with only 1 accept state

am i right with B here
I'm not directly going to give you the answer, however you can check your textbook on conic sections for the definition of a hyperbola.
This is also a great resource: https://sourcely.co/0KDJzp0
Here's an open source textbook if you're in the mood for a bit of reading: https://sourcely.co/GpXDMX5
I looked up conic sections, and looked at the image results.
A hyberbola is a plane that is perpendicular to the base of a double cone.
it has to be B no?
hi
am i right here

pls can I have some help with this
@ruby quarry Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
I think a is eliminated because of the kleene star after the (aa**bb*)
because once you are at 3, there is no option for a
b eliminated for the same reason
<@&286206848099549185>
Disclaimer, not my field.
Your argument for a. And b. Looks good.
I want to say. c. Looks the best.
d. A is not an accept state, and same argument as a and b
e. Is tempting, but Abe is not an accept state
thx for ur help, just wanted to clarify. Does (b U a)* mean any combination of a's and b's 0 or multiple times, or rather either a or b 0 or multiple times
wait but for C, aac isn't an accept state? is aac valid?
<@&286206848099549185>
I looked this up btw, I this it means either a or b
<@&286206848099549185>
@ruby quarry Wait so how far did you get and what are you still confused about? I can help
perf thank u
firstly, is my logic here correct?
Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's any way to get an a immediately after a b
cool
in my mind the answer is none of them but I'm pretty sure that's wrong
B would be eliminated via the same logic
for C aac isn't an accept state
for D, a isn't an accept state
for E, abe isn't an accept state
Yeah your logic seems right, I'll look closer
wait
just to clarify, is e a letter of the alphabet here, or does it stand for empty string?
empty string
Oh
Then you can get a after b
if you do 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 2
that would be a b e a, so just aba
And "abe" doesn't make sense here, it would just be "ab"
Since e isn't part of the alphabet
It just represents an empty string
ah ok
That tripped me up, this is terrible notation lol
yeah lmao
I usually see ฮต for empty string
Okay but anyway yeah you'll want to revisit some of your earlier logic
Let's start with A
yeah, gotta revisit all of them
cool
Take a look at it, think about it, and tell me what you're thinking
sure, the first (๐๐โ๐๐โ)โ seems valid now
now onto the next part
aa* is valid and would take you to 2
yup
๐๐โ๐๐โ(๐๐โโช๐))๐โ this term
hmm
๐๐โ๐๐โ is valid and brings you to either 2 or 3
from either 2 or 3
๐๐โ is valid
however C isn't from 2
therefore not valid?
So what you're saying is that there's a string accepted by the regex but not the NFA?
What's the string?
so it would be aabbaabbaac
that might be complicated to read soz
the middle term in the second set of brackets: ๐๐โ๐๐โ(๐๐โโช๐))๐โ is what makes it invalid imo
the ending c
wait I might've made a mistake
you can get to c from a using e
Yeah that's true
is it possible to say that since nearly all the terms have a kleene star, if we end up back at state 1 the expression is invalid because we haven't ended up at an accepting state
can you say simply an empty string from state 1 invalidates everything?
I'm not sure what you mean by that
But certainly the empty string is not accepted by this NFA because state 1 is not accepting, and there's no e paths going out from state 1
yeah that's what I mean
therefore the expression is invalid
because of the kleene star in the first term (๐๐โ๐๐โ)โ that means that you can begin your string with an empty string
and that is invalid like you said
That doesn't make sense
The empty string is not a member of the alphabet
It just means "don't insert anything into the string here"
The empty string is not actually present in a word as a symbol
yes
ok
do you agree that the expression is invalid?
as an example, aabbaabb empty string
again that doesn't make sense, "empty string" isn't part of a string
you're really just saying aabbaabb
any example of a string you come up with to test should not have the words "empty string" in it
because of the empty string?
yh
starts off with (๐๐โ๐๐โ)โ like a
but we end up in state 2 after aa*
then theres 2 routes to go down
c* which is valid
or ๐๐โ(๐โช๐๐โ)
this empty string is throwing me off
the empty string would take you back to state 1
it can be tricky to think about, you got this
cc* is valid
I'm gonna go with valid because the empty string after is the same as just staying in state 3?
okay and then what about c
like the answer c?
๐(๐โช๐)โ๐๐โ
I see no issues tbh
I think its valid
there's two ways that it could fail right
either the regex accepts strings which are not accepted by the NFA
or the NFA accepts strings which are not accepted by the regex
did you check both of these scenarios
only checked this ig
alright you gotta also check the other scenario to see if it's possible
aabc is accepted by the NFA but not by the regex
aabc is accepted by the regex
(b โช a)* gives ab and c* gives the empty string
so you get aabc
No that would be (b* โช a*) I think
what about ab?
yeah its not valid
as in, ab is accepted by the NFA but not by the regex right
yh
yup, awesome
I gotta run for the night but hopefully this gives some insight for how to approach the problem
nws, thanks for all ur help
you're welcome!
uhh idk if ur still there or not, but at the top of the question it says which of the following regex are regular languages that are accepted by the NFA
does that mean it still has to go both ways
yes, language accepted by regex = language accepted by NFA
cool thx, btw my final answers are a and b if u ended up answering the question

How would i do part b?
@grand forum Has your question been resolved?
Yes
Apparently this is what im doing
But lowkey im very lost and i dont have an equation to start with ๐คจ
I just use y= -2x + 4?
im lost
but what equation am i working with ๐งโโ๏ธ
AM I SLOW HELP
no cause i did that and the answers were wrong
๐งโโ๏ธ
I erased it ๐
This is where im at ๐๐๐๐
no because in this unit we must find perpendicular slopes to determine the poi and thennnn calculate the length of the line (distance)
But im not sure what formula im support to use to begin finding the other perpendicular slopes
im like ๐งโโ๏ธ really lost
Yeah but i need to slove using those steps
Otherwise she will legit fail me
I just dont understand what my equation is ๐งโโ๏ธ
