Hello, I am stuck on this question about probability (i think) and some help would be appreciated!

tired walrus
#

try to write out all possible roll sequences that would result in a running total of 3 at some point. you may use some placeholder or wildcard like x to represent a roll that could be any number

#

for example the roll sequence 12xx would fit this description

lost zealot
#

What is running total

#

like

#

first roll is 1

#

then second you add another onto it?

tired walrus
#

running total = the sub-totals you get during the rolling process

#

like if your rolls are 6, 4, 2, 3 you will have the running totals 6, 10, 12, 15

lost zealot
#

oh

#

49/216?

#

the probability of landing it on the first one is 1/6, then 1/18 (second) then 216 (third one)

#

you add them which equals 49/216

#

For this I know that n! = $\prod_{k=1}^{n}a_k$

soft zealotBOT
#

BigBen

left trail
#

But when I break up the nCk wouldn't I be introducing a new term if I just plugged that in?

tired walrus
#

no, $n! = \prod_{k=1}^n k$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

not some un-introduced sequence a_k

#

ehhh

#

well yes i guess thatll happen at one point

feels like a "less talking more doing" moment rn though

what is 1/(n-k)! doing outside the sigma at all though

soft zealotBOT

#

There isn't any 1/(n-k)! there

tired walrus
#

what is 1/(n-k)! doing outside the sigma at all though

#

i think you may have fumbled this quite severely, but i can't tell where -- aside from the issue i just mentioned.

this is what i wrote down just now though

#

hmm

#

obviously there's some sort of telescoping to happen

old quarry
#

yeah

eager shore
#

what happens if you rationalise the denominator

old quarry
#

we need to get it in form of a-b/1+ab

old quarry
#

but the numerator becomes some ugly shit

eager shore
#

Oh look

soft zealotBOT
eager shore
#

(1 - ab)/(a + b)

old quarry
#

u divided in numerator and denom

#

oh

eager shore
#

multiply the top and bottom with (1 - r^(-1))^(1/2)

#

Then you can split it

#

I think

#

💀

old quarry
#

ok let me try

old quarry
eager shore
#

it gets it in the form (a + b)/(1 - ab)

#

kind of weirdly though

#

but it does

#

i think you can fuck around and make it telescope

old quarry
#

oh wait

#

can we divide by sqrt(r^2+r)

#

so that in denom we get 1+ab format

old quarry
#

got it

#

thanks

ionic gate
#

Is sup not about the interval but about what is the least upper bound of the given interval?

ionic gate
#

So, this would have an upperbound of u...infinity?

#

Is this not the upper bound because it has no least upper bound?

tired bramble
#

hello, i am having some difficulty understanding this problem in genral

tired bramble
#

and kinda forming a counter example. after some thinking i have come to the conclusion that 1. false as if a function is bijective then not a subset of it should be bijective but all of it should be bijective

#

so given this 1. is false and 2. is true

#

this is my ounter example for 1. i think it works

#

but i have no idea how to start on B

#

$\forall A \subseteq \mathbb{R},\quad f^{-1}(f(A)) = f(f^{-1}(A))
\quad \Leftrightarrow \quad f \text{ is bijective}.$

soft zealotBOT
#

SushiMan

tired bramble
#

this is what i think we need to prove

#

but idk if it makes sense

ripe jewel
#

for counterexamples the empty set is handy because it's so simple

#

in general

tired bramble
#

also does my counter example work or nah

#

wait

#

nvm

ripe jewel
#

f o finv{varnothing} = varnothing = finv o f (varnothing) vaciously

#

it doesnt tell you anything at all about f

tired bramble
tired bramble
ripe jewel
#

but anyway it's asking about f: R to R I just realized

tired bramble
#

=

ripe jewel
#

$f \circ f^{-1}(\varnothing) = \varnothing = f^{-1} \circ f (\varnothing)$

soft zealotBOT
#

gfauxpas

ripe jewel
#

also read the question carefully

#

it's asking for sufficient and necessary conditions, not equivalences

tired bramble
ripe jewel
#

because it's true for every function

tired bramble
#

im really ocnfused ngl

ripe jewel
#

okay so we're dealing with 4 questions here

tired bramble
#

ok

ripe jewel
#

is (a) necessary for bijectivity? sufficient?

#

is (b) necessary? sufficient?

#

I'm saying that my example with the empty set shows (a) cannot be sufficient for anything, because it's true for every function ever

#

that knocks out 1 of the 4 questions

tired bramble
#

What does sufficient mean again

ripe jewel
#

$p \implies q$ is "p is sufficient for q"

soft zealotBOT
#

gfauxpas

ripe jewel
#

and "q is neccesary for p"

#

think about why it's called that in terms of regular english words,it's not arbitary

tired bramble
#

A is neither

#

Nesscary is <=> right

ripe jewel
#

no, look what I said again

#

here's a hint

tired bramble
#

Oh so if it’s nesscary then it’s the other way around

ripe jewel
#

the question is asking about the image of sets under f. Can you convert that into a statement about images of elements under f?

LMK if you dont know that terminology, image under

tired bramble
#

Reverse direction

#

Bro I got this question wrong on the test and it cost me a whole percent 😭

#

Ok alr lemme think

ripe jewel
#

Do you know that terminology, image under?

tired bramble
#

No I don’t know

ripe jewel
#

if A is a set,

tired bramble
#

But it is nesscary but it isn’t sufficient for a

ripe jewel
#

f(A) is called the image of A under f

#

if x is an element in the domain of f

#

then f(x) is the image of x under f

tired bramble
#

Ok I think I get it now yea

#

So it is basically the output the image

ripe jewel
#

so if you're told the equality is true for EVERY subset

#

is there a collection of subsets that tells you information about how f and f inverse act on ELEMENTS?

tired bramble
#

That’s for b no

ripe jewel
#

they're related

ripe jewel
tired bramble
ripe jewel
#

singletons

tired bramble
#

I’ve never heard of that

ripe jewel
#

sets with exactly 1 element

tired bramble
#

Ohhh okay

ripe jewel
#

every number r in R corresponds to a singleton {r} in the powerset

#

so if you're told a statement is true about every subset

#

in particular it's true for every singleton

tired bramble
#

He’s

ripe jewel
#

He's indeed

tired bramble
#

Sorry I was tryna say yes

tired bramble
#

That’s basically B

ripe jewel
#

so b is sufficient, or necessary, for invertibility?

tired bramble
#

It’s both

#

All the above

ripe jewel
#

yeah it's both but i only proved it's sufficient actually

#

but that also means a is necessary

tired bramble
#

Wait for b right

ripe jewel
#

yeah for b

tired bramble
#

I stated that earlier. W prediction

ripe jewel
#

the way youd prove b is necessary is because

#

inverse image of a union is the union of the inverse image

#

therefore... .can you finish the proof?

tired bramble
#

Tbh I kinda get what ur getting at but it’s still pretty confusing

ripe jewel
#

if it's true for all singletons, it's true for all unions of singletons

#

which is, all subsets

ripe jewel
#

I've been doing this for years

#

takes practice, and looking at pictures sometimes

tired bramble
#

Wait

#

Stop

#

It’s yes

#

It is true

ripe jewel
#

yup

#

every set is a union of all singletons of stuff in the set

tired bramble
tired bramble
ripe jewel
#

no, I am an out of work math tutor studying to pass actuary exams

tired bramble
#

What are those

tired bramble
#

So I understand this. What are we getting at now

ripe jewel
#

they are standardized tests to show that you are proficient in the types of math insurance companies need to do

tired bramble
#

What kinda job are you trying to get

ripe jewel
#

work for someone who is working for insurance companies (an actuary), most likely. easier than becoming an actuary myself

#

but honestly ill take any math job atm , im so poor :(

tired bramble
#

I’m first yr but I have like a lot of third year friends that are tas

#

They get paid 53 an hr

#

53 cad btw

ripe jewel
#

usually that job is given to PhD students, no?

tired bramble
#

Nah

#

Utm cs has 3rd students as tas for first yr courses

#

Uft cs in general I think

ripe jewel
#

yeah but students still. i graduated already

tired bramble
tired bramble
#

@ripe jewel

#

Are you French by any chance

#

J’ai faux pas

ripe jewel
#

no, faux pas has entered English

#

as a borrowed word

#

i forgot what we're talking about

tired bramble
#

You were talking about singeletons and nesscary and sufficient

hearty mica
#

We are given the point of a final side of angle Theta. Find the values of all trigonometric functions of theta.

hearty mica
#

Im trying to do (2, - 3)

#

My first thought is to find theta like this:

#

cos(theta) = 2
theta = arccos(2)

#

But arccos of 2 isnt a thing

#

So I dunno how to find that angle

blissful meadow
#

How did you get cos(theta) = 2?

#

cos(theta) is adjacent / hypotenuse.
Have you found the hypotenuse?

#

Moreover, although it's not wrong per se to solve for theta, you realistically don't need to know theta in order to compute all the trig ratios associated to it...

hearty mica
blissful meadow
#

It's x over the hypotenuse

hearty mica
#

Hmm i see

#

And rn my hypotenuse is uknown

blissful meadow
#

Using pythagoras you can find the hypotenuse

hearty mica
#

I think im pikcing up what youre laying down

#

I get the hypotenuse, and then the functions are just the ratios of all sides,

blissful meadow
#

This approach, which is likely the one they want you to use according to the wording of the question, avoids having to deal with issues with the domain and range of the inverse trig functinos

hearty mica
#

Yeah we havent gotten into that yet

#

I'm still confused about what i was told though, about x being the cosine of the angle

#

We're working with circles if that helps

blissful meadow
#

It is the cosine of the angle in the very special case where the hypotenuse is 1, i.e. on the unit circle!

hearty mica
#

I see

#

But in this case, the coordinates are outside the bounds of the unit circle

#

Right?

#

I see, in the unit circle, the hypotenuse is 1, ie, cos(theta) = x / 1, ie, cos(theta) = x

Hey!

#

The ∆abc = 30 means area of abc?

#

U can use the area of triangle rule thing

sullen gale
#

Do you know how to calculate the area using the inradius @prime tusk ?

storm haven
sullen gale
#

look at the @bove image

sullen gale
prime tusk
#

is there any other way to do it or something

#

idk i feel like my teacher will think i cheated or something

#

if i do that

prime tusk
sullen gale
#

@prime tusk Has your teacher taught you this and/or has it appeared in your textbook?

#

sorry for the late reply

#

you can also derive it like they did in the image

#

like split it into three triangles and work it out

#

however

#

I think if your teacher gave you this problem, it must've already been taught

final saddleBOT
#

@prime tusk Has your question been resolved?

prime tusk
#

he teaches me like

sullen gale
#

alright then. So you can do a similar thing that's shown in the diagram, splitting it up into 3 triangles and using variables to calculate the area

prime tusk
#

thats a similair problem in the way he "taught" me

prime tusk
#

bcz i dont know a b or c

sullen gale
#

that's fine, just keep them as expressions in terms of AB, AC, and BC.

#

can you calculate the top-left triangle?

#

the area

prime tusk
#

uhh

prime tusk
sullen gale
prime tusk
#

the one on the top or the one on the left

sullen gale
#

in terms of r and AB

sullen gale
prime tusk
#

oh okay

#

okay

prime tusk
#

im still confused

#

bcz

#

i have

#

idk

#

nothing almost

sullen gale
#

?

#

Here let me

prime tusk
#

i have 15 minutes to complete this 💔

#

im so screwed

sullen gale
#

can you calculate the areas of all three triangles in terms of their side lengths and the radius?

#

@prime tusk

prime tusk
#

but i dont know the sidelengths

sullen gale
#

that's alright, do it in terms of them

#

let me do the first one as an example

#

the area is base.height/2=AB.r/2

#

now can you do the same for the other triangles?

prime tusk
#

but thats js

sullen gale
#

no trust the process

prime tusk
#

BC.r/2, AC.r/2

#

thats

sullen gale
#

OK. now the sum of ABC is all three summed up

#

which is

prime tusk
#

30

sullen gale
#

AB.r/2+BC.r/2+AC.r/2

#

can you factor this?

prime tusk
#

r(AB+BC+AC) divided by 2?

sullen gale
#

yep. do you know these values?

prime tusk
#

.. no

sullen gale
#

you know r and AB+BC+AC right?

prime tusk
#

no...

sullen gale
prime tusk
#

if i knew what r was i wouldnt be here

#

OH

#

OH

#

OH

sullen gale
#

yeah 😄

halcyon swan
#

can someone help me understand this particular problem

halcyon swan
magic coyote
#

What part

halcyon swan
#

like after the substituting the x and y respectively then having this "2D+3E+F =-13" and so on

magic coyote
#

Mhm

halcyon swan
#

i know they subtract but after that im lst

#

lost*

magic coyote
#

Then it just becomes a system of linear equations

#

So you clear till here?

halcyon swan
#

yes

#

and then things started to get messy and coulnt remember that the prof said

magic coyote
#

Ok after that it's just another system with 2 variables and 2 equations

#

4D + 2E = -20
-D-E=12

#

Can you solve this for D and E?

halcyon swan
#

uhh

halcyon swan
magic coyote
#

Those 2 equations, for the variables D and E.

halcyon swan
#

E= -10 -2D
D=-12-E

#

is this correct

dapper hull
halcyon swan
#

ah ill try again

dapper hull
halcyon swan
#

E= -14
D= 2

#

?

#

or im just flat out doing it wrong ;-;

dapper hull
#

yea it's correct

halcyon swan
#

yay

dapper hull
#

lowkey that's my first time encountring something like finding the conic equation using 3 points lol

halcyon swan
#

i can use any of the 3 (x and y) points right?

dapper hull
#

you need to use all cuz in most case 3 equations are needed to solve 3 variables (in your case D E F)
and all 3 points should work (lie on the curve of the conic

halcyon swan
#

ohhh okay okay ill do it now

#

wish theres a better way to do this ;-;

dapper hull
#

at least F would always be F lol easy to get rid of

halcyon swan
#

yeKEK

dapper hull
#

you got F yea ?

halcyon swan
#

working on in now

dapper hull
#

just sub in E D (use any of the 3 equations)

halcyon swan
#

i got 25 on the first one

halcyon swan
dapper hull
#

indeed it should work (I checked the answers using desmos)

#

All 3 points lie on the conic (circle)

halcyon swan
#

thank youuu

#

its all correct and uh

#

soemting came up

#

i have to go

#

tahnks yall

Hello, can someone help me with this problem, please?
It is known that, under optimal conditions, a certain machine produces screws with a diameter of 0.5 cm and a standard deviation of 0.02 cm. This machine requires periodic adjustments, but those are costly. Therefore, a daily sample of 100 randomly selected screws is tested, and the machine is adjusted only if the average diameter of the screws exceeds a certain value x cm. Find the value of x such that the probability of adjusting the machine when it is not necessary is at most 5%.

Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.

hushed dust
#

I'm having trouble interpreting the statement. Is the value 0.5 supposed to be the mean (μ)?

sullen gale
#

Doesn't it say that it's 0.5 cm? And that's the diameter of the screw.

hushed dust
#

But it does not explicitly state that it is the mean.

sullen gale
#

here let me get a picture

hushed dust
#

hmm..

sullen gale
#

It tells us that the standard deviation of the screw diameters is 0.02 cm

#

-# do you have anything to add, @dense badge ?

hushed dust
#

Is this the hypothesis test?
H0: μ<=0.5
H1: μ>0.5

dense badge
#

but you won’t test the hypothesis they want the rejection point x

#

two sided or one sided?

hushed dust
#

one sided

dense badge
# hushed dust this is correct?

assuming normality of the observations i think yes, you used the sampling distribution of the mean when obs are normal i think

hushed dust
dense badge
#

yeah i think you are good

Hi, I'm new here and I want to get back into maths and I'am awfully confused on where to begin.

stone wagon
#

being more specific would help

warped delta
#

Like where would you recommend someone who never got through high school fully on where to begin again on learning maths essentially

stone wagon
#

khan academy has a lot of resources

tardy void
#

What do you know

stone wagon
#

also just youtube in general

#

what is your level and what are your goals?

warped delta
#

honestly have no clue about my level

stone wagon
#

do you know what like idk sin(x) is

warped delta
#

a little

warped delta
#

I know the basics additon, subtraction, multiplaction, etc and some fractions

#

Kinda forgot abt the rest

stone wagon
#

and what is your goal in learning math?

#

do you wish to get to like a high school level?

warped delta
#

yes

#

and possible continue as a hobby of sorts

stone wagon
#

then khan academy is perfect for this

warped delta
#

Alright thanks for the help

sullen gale
#

You should check out Art of Problem Solving as well

warped delta
#

is that a book?

stone wagon
sullen gale
#

videos tho?

stone wagon
#

hm haven't seen their videos

sullen gale
#

not for like extremely hard contest problems

stone wagon
#

alr

stone wagon
warped delta
#

I should check them out?

sullen gale
#

there's a few for prealg, alg, etc.

stone wagon
warped delta
#

thats great

#

Thank you both 🙏

stone wagon
#

luckily for you, for pre-university math there's a TON of resources online out there and i wouldn't necessarily call anything bad either

#

so just google stuff or ask questions here if you need more assistance

stone wagon
sullen gale
#

however I do think Khan academy might be best, AoPS has limited videos for material above algebra

warped delta
#

kk

sullen gale
#

best of luck on your math journey!

i was wondering what was going on in this problem

i thought the probability would be 89^2/100^2

since all the divisors of 10^88 are also divisors of 10^99

Hi guys

final saddleBOT
tulip depot
#

can anyone help with physics

#

pls

#

calculate the final velocity of a 60.0kg mass moving at 2.67 ms*' east, when a net force of 45.5N west acts on it for 2.80 seconds.

tall portal
#

dont you think you should use that time and force for a quantity

tulip depot
#

I put the wrong quesiton before

tall portal
#

it still is the same with diff values

tulip depot
#

but i got a positive answer but its supposed to be a neg accelleraton

#

but idk why

tall portal
#

you took

#

the force as -ve?

#

dont you think the directions would point along the same axes

leaden moon
#

it's hard finding problems that i can solve in help in this server 😭

tulip depot
#

wait so this is what i did first :

F=ma
A= f/m

A= 45.5/60 = 0.76ms-2

And then from there im supposed to put that into vf=vi+at but when i did that with the positive acceleration it was wrong, and when i did it with the neg acceleration its right but idk why

leaden moon
tall portal
#

west positive

#

so a will be positive

leaden moon
#

and since west and east are in opposite directions

#

then if you took east positive

#

then a would be negative

#

idk this kind of physics 💀

tall portal
#

yeah you are right

leaden moon
#

i learned archimedes formula but not F = ma 💀

tulip depot
#

arggghh!!! This is making me crash out, the velocity is east but the force is west but why is the acceleration neg

#

like how do i know its supposed to be neg

#

im so sorry this isnt making sense to em

leaden moon
#

well then your object is slowing down

tulip depot
#

me

tall portal
leaden moon
#

is 2.67 ms^2 acceleration or velocity?

tulip depot
#

velocity

#

intial

tall portal
tulip depot
#

not final

leaden moon
#

then what's the acceleration 😭

tulip depot
#

0.76 but idk why its neg and not pos i mean i do but i dont

leaden moon
#

is there a formula for final velocity or at least acceleration?

#

oh wait i see

tall portal
#

that meant

leaden moon
#

F = ma

tall portal
#

you took west positive

leaden moon
#

F = 45.5

#

m = 60

tall portal
#

hence a will be positive

tall portal
leaden moon
#

alright

#

so a is positive ofc

tulip depot
#

I’m so confused I’m so sorry

tall portal
#

its all good

leaden moon
#

so you know what the force and mass is

#

so acceleration should be easy to calculate

tall portal
#

if you took f as positive while doing f=ma that implied that you have assumed west direction to be positive

#

if you get a as positive it means accleartion is along west

tulip depot
leaden moon
#

i think the best assumption is to assume the positive applies in east

#

or north

tulip depot
tall portal
#

and west is negative

#

hence if you take

#

f in the general coordinates it will be negative here

#

you get a as a quantity you want

leaden moon
#

yes

#

so anyways

#

you got the acceleration

#

then i assume you can calculate the final velocity

tulip depot
#

Oh wait, so omg

#

I’m actually so dumb

leaden moon
#

is there any integral involved?

tall portal
#

..

tulip depot
#

I’m so sorry guys

#

I get it now

tall portal
#

no you're good

tulip depot
#

Thank you!!!!

leaden moon
#

np

tall portal
#

yeah just .close unless you need anything else

leaden moon
#

wait wait

#

one more thing

tulip depot
#

You are the best!!! Saved my life man

leaden moon
#

how do you calculate the final velocity if you know the acceleration and the initial velocity?

tulip depot
#

Vf=vi+at

leaden moon
#

do you use integral for smooth calculation?

tulip depot
#

Uhhh

tall portal
#

i am pretty sure accleartion is a constant hence its a hint

leaden moon
#

alr

Thanks again!!!

#

i don't have the time to try every single number

lofty willow
#

Ignore me.

pliant shore
devout breach
#

2.5 x 1.6

#

yep

pliant shore
#

can you figure out how? you can try a few possibilities

#

or even simpler, 0.5 * 8.0

#

but yeah

#

I mean 8.0 is technically a decimal cause sig figs matter

#

not sure what the question intends but in any case

#

yeah and similarly 4.8 = 0.5 * 9.6

devout breach
#

so A is wrong

lyric obsidian
#

I think this is a sig fig thing

magic coyote
#

Every single product is possible KEK

lyric obsidian
#

No

devout breach
#

one of them isn't

#

but which one is it

pliant shore
#

so notice how you can take double of 4 and 4.8 and it works

lyric obsidian
#

I can't tell

devout breach
#

wait let me make it a.5 x b.c

lyric obsidian
#

But, what is the maximum amount of digits in a 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication?

magic coyote
#

O

#

Theres a limit

pliant shore
#

it worked with 4 * 2 = 8 and 4.8 * 2 = 9.6

devout breach
#

4

magic coyote
#

oversight lmao

pliant shore
#

clever problem btw

devout breach
#

99 x 99 = 9801 so it can be 4 digits

lofty willow
#

You're limited by x.5 and a.b right?

devout breach
#

dude this is the first problem

#

why

magic coyote
#

it is

silent cove
#

as said, you for 4 you can do 0.5 * 8.0

lofty willow
#

Any decimal that is multiplied by 0.5 up till 0.9

#

will not result in 0.065

silent cove
#

for 4.8 you can do 0.5 * 9.6

devout breach
#

hodl on let me think

pliant shore
#

yeah then by the same reasoning B also works

lyric obsidian
#

!nosols

final saddleBOT
#

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

pliant shore
#

so by process of elimination

magic coyote
silent cove
#

and then 4.35 can also be

lofty willow
#

I'm assuming you're limited to 0.1-0.9?

devout breach
#

this is the 3rd problem in the same test

silent cove
#

you double it and it'll give you a a.b form decimal number

devout breach
#

how can the first one be that hard

silent cove
#

since last digit is 5, it'll get to 0

magic coyote
pliant shore
silent cove
#

so 0.5*8.7

lyric obsidian
lofty willow
silent cove
#

so yeah i just eliminated the options

lofty willow
#

So i assumed that its 0.1-0.9 or rather n.0 - n.9

pliant shore
lofty willow
#

If thats the case, then the smallest you'd get by any decimal multiplication by 1 dp with 0.5 would theoretically result in only 2 dp.

#

So by hypothesis it would only be we'll you can figure that out yourself:")

devout breach
#

a.5 x b.c = 1/100 (100ab + 10(ac + 5b) + 5c)

pliant shore
devout breach
#

ab + 1/10 (ac+5b) + 1/20 c

#

wait

#

wait wait wait ah

#

since a, b and c are integers there cannot be 3 decimal places since the smallest thing must be 1/20

rancid zenith
lofty willow
devout breach
#

bruh done

#

answer C

stuck juniper
pliant shore
devout breach
#

but problem 1 is ridiculously hard compared to no.3

pliant shore
#

so reversing the reasoning, when you multiply by 0.5, you add 1 more decimal place at maximum

rancid zenith
#

You can get atmost 5/100 precision

pliant shore
#

but you are only multiplying n.5 by a 1-decimal place number

devout breach
#

i found something
3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25
3.5 x 3.6 = 12.6
3.5 x 3.7 = 12.95
so whenever c in a.5 x b.c is odd there is 1 more decimal place

pliant shore
#

mhm!

devout breach
#

wow this one is brutal

pliant shore
#

it is creative but you don't actually have to generalise it all the way

#

you could just go from 4.35 * 2 = 8.7

#

so 8.7 * 0.5 = 4.35

devout breach
#

ah

pliant shore
#

and then process of elimination gives C

devout breach
#

thanks so much

hello ! What is the name for this vector thingie? So I can search on google and see how it works

#

And is there a name for the trick like breaking the 10 to 6 and 4?

tired walrus
bitter spindle
#

ohh

tired walrus
#

also known as "n choose k" or "n choose r" and sometimes written with a big C and the numbers orbiting around it in some position

#

(i've seen at least 4 different ones)

bitter spindle
#

um

#

Okay!

#

How about the trick breaking it into 6 and 4?

#

Is that a better way of pascal triangle

tired walrus
#

you want the term independent of x so you want the exponent on x to work out to 0

bitter spindle
#

Yes

tired walrus
#

the terms will all look like $\binom{10}{k} (x^{1/3})^{10-k} (-x^{-1/2})^k$

soft zealotBOT
tired walrus
#

your job then becomes to simplify that thing with the x's until you've got x^(a single power)

#

and then equate that power to 0 (because independent of x! if you were looking for the x^7 term or something you'd set it equal to 7 accordingly) and solve for k

bitter spindle
#

So if I Wnana use this trick I need to arrange the whole equation into that
( X^(1/3) ) ( -x^(-1/2))?

tired walrus

#

ohhh

#

Thats sounds complicated

#

But efficient trick

#

Thank you so much for teaching me how the trick works!

#

Thats very cool

#

Have a great day !!

tbh i havent even done any work ive just been looking at a graph and i decided the the answer was (pi/2,pi)

Can someone explain to me why tf this works 😭

what does "x times" mean if x is not an integer?

can anyone suggest me how to learn to solve series questions

[ x^2 = \sum_{k=0}^{x}x = x\sum_{k=0}^x 1 ]

#

hmm

#

how should we differentiate this

soft zealotBOT
terse crypt
#

[ \frac{\dd}{\dd x}x^2 = 1 \cdot \sum_{k=0}^{x} 1 + \left( \frac{\dd}{\dd x} \sum_{k=0}^{x} 1 \right) x]

soft zealotBOT
terse crypt
#

[ \frac{\dd}{\dd x} = 1 \cdot x + \left( \frac{\dd}{\dd x} x \right)x = x + x = 2x]

soft zealotBOT
terse crypt
#

the argument

#

looks over

#

what happens by adding 'x' terms

formal trail
#

that's still sideskirting the actual problem of defining what it means for the upper bound of a sum to not be an integer

terse crypt
#

fair

#

it still fails for natural number..

final saddleBOT
#

@noble pawn Has your question been resolved?

ripe jewel
#

i think that's how Knuth defines expressions like these in TAOCP

formal trail
#

if that's the definition then it's not true for fractional $x$ that $x^2 = \sum_{k = 1}^x x$

soft zealotBOT
ripe jewel
#

which is why the proof fails then

How is there a 3X that is common

final saddleBOT
tired walrus
#

things played out that way

#

there's not really a deeper reason to it

#

the first term is 3 * (x^2+5)^2 * 2__x__ * (x^3-1)^4
and the second is (x^2+5)^3 * 4 * (x^3-1)^3 * 3x^2

#

does that answer your question @timber plume

timber plume
#

one sec, reading it

#

I don’t really understand

tired walrus
#

what don't you understand?

#

might you be overthinking it

timber plume
#

Well it should be 3

#

Instead of 3x

tired walrus
#

ok you can pull out only 3 if you so desire

#

and you'll find that the brackets will have a common factor of x inside

#

which can also be pulled out

timber plume
#

Yeah then If it does, I could factorise it further?

tired walrus
#

sure you could

#

but it's not like... wrong or anything to notice it immediately

i found the total fail which is 62..
but how 38% is passed in both subjects, instead of it being a total pass

62% failed at least one exam. then the remaining 38% must have passed both exams (failed 0 exams)

Let n be a positive integer. Let k be a point on the number line that represents a real number such that the number of factors left of k to 1 is equal to the number of factors right of k to n. Let p be a factor of n such that p < k. Prove that n > pk.

tired walrus
#

the number of factors left of k to 1
what does this mean

raw merlin
#

The number of factors less than k, starting from 1.

tired walrus
#

the number of whose factors?

raw merlin
#

n

tired walrus

right

#

ok

#

that makes sense

ok, consider this somewhat abstract phrasing:

let D be the set of all divisors of n, L be the set of all divisors of n which are less than k and H the set of those greater than k. (standing for "divisor", "low" and "high" resp)

#

and look also at the function f: D -> D given by f(d) = n/d

#

my claim is that this is a bijection and f(L) = H

raw merlin
#

Okay. Let me think.

#

I dont know what you mean by bijection.

#

bi-jection

#

bi-jec-tion

tired walrus
raw merlin
#

I have thought about something.

#

Let me type.

#

root(n) is a valid choice for k.
the greatest factor less than root(n) < root(n), k < the smallest factor greater than root (n)

Clearly, the smallest factor greater than root(n) <=n/p > root(n)
Add [root(n), k < the smallest factor greater than root (n)] in the above inequality.

root(n), k < the smallest factor greater than root (n) <=n/p > root(n)
k < something <= n/p > root(n)
=> k < n/p
So n > kp

#

Is this correct

tired walrus
#

you don't know that k = sqrt(n)

#

it may not be

raw merlin
#

I did not let k be root(n)

#

k, root(n) < something implies:
k < that something
and
root(n) < that something

#

is my proof correct

rancid zenith
#

It is true that k=sqrt(n) is a valid choice for k, but you must prove for every valid k

raw merlin
#

I started from this inequality

#

the greatest factor less than root(n) < root(n), k < the smallest factor greater than root (n)

rancid zenith
#

Yes

raw merlin
#

whats the problem

rancid zenith
#

No problem here, but your notation is a bit diffult to read

#

Im assuming you are saying

greatest factor lesser than sqrt(n) < k < smallest factor bigger than sqrt(n)

#

That is the correct bound for k

raw merlin
#

yes

#

isnt that what i said

rancid zenith
#

No, you said

the greatest factor less than sqrt(n) < sqrt(n), k < the smallest factor greater than sqrt (n)

raw merlin
#

k, root(n) < something implies:
k < that something
and
root(n) < that something

rancid zenith
#

Ok, so thats your notation
