Your question seems incomplete
Clear reason and correct answer
you do know we arent your guinea pigs, right?
@jade fable this is disrespectful.
That means for integer solutions
if you want help, be less of an ass
My bad
May I know what are the potential factor of a
Why, would you mind explaining it sir
we can at least translate and figure out what they want from you
For integer solution a = 10x+5, x belongs to z, and c = 11x +4, x belongs to z
But that’s not relevant to my confusion
post it even if it isn't relevant
the more context we know, the better.
I cannot. I’m a lazy ass, it is deemed a torture to take a shot at the book
I can only move my fingers
lazy asses don't get help here.
Not the entire wrist
I answered for Diophantine solutions only
What is x
Oh
Why would you came to that conclusion
Standard number theory
I do not know them. That’s why I’m struggling to understand it. Could you elaborate sir
I’m cryingggggggggg
I need to move on to the next question

your first answer is wrong though for part(a)
x > 1/2 is correct
which part?
the x > -3 is incorrect
why?
substitute for example x = -2 and you'll see why
why -2?
you got x > -3 right? and x = -2 is just an example of being in this interval since -2 is greater then -3
yeah
but if you substitute x = - 2. into 2x^+5x - 1 what do we get?
-5
is that greater then 0?
no
now can you see why it's wrong to say x > -3
our quadratic we were solving was 2x^2 + 5x - 1 > 0
but isnt it x+3>0 becomes x>-3?
notice here, that if we went x >-3, the y axis falls below 0?
it should be x < -3
how so
look at here
generally what you do is solve the quadratic first as if it was an = sign to avoid confusion. Then graph it to identify which interval it is
I dont understand what you mean by graphing it
as in sketching the quadratic like you did in the diagram
but even then wouldnt the inequality sign stay the same just like x> 1/2?
@harsh solar Has your question been resolved?
the x > 1/2 part is correct
but the x >-3 isn't
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdiBjypYFRQ. watch this video, so you can understand a bit more on what I mean
How to solve a quadratic inequality. Visual intuition of what a quadratic inequality means.
Watch the next lesson: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra2/polynomial_and_rational/polynomial_tutorial/v/terms-coefficients-and-exponents-in-a-polynomial?utm_source=YT&utm_medium=Desc&utm_campaign=AlgebraII
Missed the previous lesson?
https://www...
but arent they both the same way of solving?
wdym?
since flipping of the inequality sign is not needed for x>1/2, shouldnt it be the same for x>-3
no
you have to flip it as x < -3
...which imo is a horrendous way of explaining it
like, elaborate arcane rules for what to flip when???
eurgh
I was trying to explain to them before that your inequality depends on your sketch but I guess you might do a better job than me
from here
i feel a bit uncomfortable launching into an explanation without OP present and ready to engage
ah okay 
I really dont get why we have to flip for the second inequality and not the first
@harsh solar Has your question been resolved?
When u multiply noth sides of an inequality by a negative number,ur sign flips
@harsh solar can you tell only by looking at this (correct) figure where the parabola is above the x-axis? Either mark it on the figure or write it down

how did they get the upper bound
so m has one representation as 1+1+1+...+1+a_n where a_n in {1,...,n}
so that means m <= 1+1+1+...+1+n
and m also has one representation as 1+2+3+...+(n-1)+a_n
so 1+2+3+...+(n-1)+1 <= m
thats how I'm reading it
why would it be <=
which one
both
ohh
so the first one is like m=n+1+a_n<=m+1+n=2n+1 and the bottom is m=(n-1)n/2+a_n>=(n-1)n/2+1?
yes

guys I have tried a couple things but didnt managed to get anywhere with this
for example |x| = √(x^2) and proving sqrt is monotonically increasing in the domain [0, R)
i am not sure what to do really with this
MT:
i guess he also needs to spend another 17 pages proving that y^2 ≥ 0
lol
i'm waiting for the monologue
I think its fine to assume sqrt is increasing, I can prove it in my own time
well then what else is stopping you from that approach
|x| = sqrt(x^2) <= sqrt(x^2+y^2) = norm(F)
thats literally it
then it follows x^2 <= x^2 + y^2
wrong direction
because x^2 <= x^2+y^2 it follows that sqrt(x^2) <= sqrt(x^2+y^2)
thats the direction you are using
then what?
thats it
QED
i dont get it 😭
why not the other direction?
writing (goal) => ... is bad in a proof
what?
hm maybe i phrased that badly too, sorry.
our goal was to show that |x| <= |F| for F a vector in R2
saying "from sqrt(x^2) ≤ sqrt(x^2+y^2) follows x^2 ≤ x^2+y^2" is a bit... how do i put it
putting the cart before the horse
you want sqrt(x^2) <= sqrt(x^2+y^2)
you know x^2 <= x^2+y^2
when doing a proof there should be a clear distinction between assertions (what is known) and goals (what needs to be shown)
something something language problems, i don't speak spanish.
so you use (x^2 <= x^2+y^2) => (sqrt(x^2) <= sqrt(x^2+y^2)) instead of <=
yknow dena that might have been better in LaTeX
you know x^2 <= x^2+y^2
can we take it as granted or should we prove
I mean, F is a vector in R2, so i think we can take it as granted
and we seriously hope that you dont have to prove that squares of real numbers arent negative
yeah but oh well
for the case in R3
|x| <= sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)
sqrt(x^2) <= sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)
and since x^2 <= x^2 + y^2 + z^2 and sqrt is monotonically increasing
we conclude |x| <= ||F||
?
is this proof correct or no?
what would u fix?
yes thats correct
what about the graphical approach
im assuming you meant to write x^2 instead of z^2
typo xD
thanks
fixed now
what is the shape of the norm of a vector
idk
its the magnitude of the arrow
yes indeed
this is in R2
all vectors (in the plane) of the same length would point to the circumference of the circle
right
if you let the vector start at the origin, then where it points to is equal to its coordinates
they have same magnitude, same length of a vector
correct
so? whats your point
so it means the coordinate values of a vector cannot be bigger than its norm
bc it falls on the circle
yes it would exceed the circle
if that would take place
the problem here is that
why is the radius of the circunference equal to the norm of F
give me an example then
bc the definition of the norm of F in the problem you gave is equal to the radius of a circle
example of what
i just realized yeah
that any of the vector's coordinates value would be bigger than the vector norm
its impossible
hence this is the graphical explanation
the norm of F in the problem has this geometric property
I appreciate it
exactly
what?
we have |x| <= sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = ||F||
@turbid burrow
where did the circle came from?
x^2 <= x^2 + y^2
cada componente de F es menor o igual a la norma de F
el radio de la circunferencia es la norma de F
|x| <= ||F|| porque sino se sale del circulo
pero no es que haya una circunferencia de por si
sino es que todos los vectores de norma F forman una circunferencia
asi mismo los vectores con norma menor a F tambien forman otra circunferencia, la que va a tener un radio mayor o igual que la norma de x
si, la norma de x fuera mayor estricto que el radio de esta circunferencia entonces se saldria del circulo con radio de norma de F
en ningún momento me dieron la circunferencia, esto lo tengo que inferir yo
|x| <= sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = ||F|| lo único que dice es que |x| <= ||F||
lo cual es cierto porque todos los vectores con norma ||F|| forman una circunferencia de radio ||F||
en todo momento se cumple que |x| <= ||F|| porque sino se sale del circulo
el círculo tiene como radio la norma de F, es el vector que va desde el (0,0) hasta (x,y)
en R3 me imagino forma una esfera

An intuitive understanding of limsup and liminf is: when sequence do not converge and oscillate, limsup and liminf give the "tail" of a sequence a boundary.
Is that right?
well more or less but you can still be bigger than limsup and smaller than liminf infinitely often

i know this is a maths dc but please i need help with a physics question i have a test in a few hours
no one is online on the physics servers please help
with this derivation my physics teacher shared
like what have they done in it ?
how is work energy theoram being applied here i dont get it
!xy ig?
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
What's k in the middle of two block?
spring constant
Oh okay
which F ?
at the last line
it probably is just the same f
but anyway i cant figure out how they got rid of the square root
there's only F1 and F2 ?
it's f2 and f1 most of the problem
capitalization matters with variables but i guess not to them
square root missing is more problematic
they factored out of x1 and x2 a big part of the expression you see in RHS of last line
then canceled with one of the (x1+x2) on the RHS 2nd to last line
can someone please tell how they applied work energy theoram here
because at maximum seperation, as it says, there's 0 velocity, hence all energy is potential
and at rest it was also 0 velocity
so the system started from rest and finally it is at rest so change in K.E for both block =0 then ?
okk same thing 🙂
and also can work energy theoram be applied for 2 blocks simultaneously ?
anything defined by an integral has the superposition property
For clarity when something is instantaneously not moving but is being accelerated I often see this referred to as being "instantaneously at rest"
meaning you can add seperate things and consider them together, roughly speaking
good phrase to know!
unfamiliar with it
and
okk
$$W = \int \mathbf F \cdot , \mathrm d \mathbf s$$
gfauxpas
this is a bit imprecise but
i mean the same type of integral throughout but on different objects
like work, or velocity
if we apply work energy theoram seperately will then also we get the same result ?
in theory we should, but it may not be solvable
because of incomplete information at each part
but , fundamentally, in principle, yes
also won't why is only a single term used for work done by spring wont it be [k(0-x1^2) +k(0- x2^2 ) ]/2 ?
ohh wait never mind spring force is k(x1 +x2) here so whole will on the whole term
okk i will try that case too then
sure but as I said, it may not be doable with the information you have, so be willing to give up :)
did you take linear algebra yet?
no 🙂
ah, okay
isnt this possible without it ?
well, that gives you a different perspective on when and why superposition works
sure
it would just have led me to explain it in a different way
not necessary
ohkk thank you soo much for your help lemme try do this on my own once and then ill close the channel
uhh why isnt minus sign applied here for the m1 block ?
wont work done by the forces F1 + m1ac be -(F1 +m1ac)x1 ?
w.r.t the C.O.M as force is in negative ?
sorry to bother you again, @ripe jewel

need help solving this
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
pretty sure there is a theorem saying that PQ:QR:RS = AB:BC:CD in a setting like this.
given that the four vertical lines are all parallel to each other
still, i couldn't find out their lengths
PS is known, and AD is not hard to calculate

Area yeah?
ye
how can we find
I'm thinking just that
ye
Sorry but I'm taking too much time, I'll be here thinking and I'll inform you if I leave but still see if anybody else answers faster
ok
dw this too hard anyway
True, I've tried drawing a perpendicular on AD to E and do some stuff with similarity but I'm getting nowhere
ye
how about the diagonal BD, any similarity ideas between EDF and EBF?
no
Alright
where is F?
oh
So, any ideas of similarity?
no
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
:o
...
uh
how did you found 34?
that's not how it works
Am I wrong? (Genuinely asking sorry if I did something wrong)
Yeah I've had it with this question, sorry but I'm leaving
lol ig
its wrong nvm
if the question has been picked up and then deserted by a helper in between pings, it's only normal to ping another time
Okie sorry!
maybe why was it wrong?
if there are two consecutive messages on the chat that are pings, it's when the "ping once" applies
Ah okay. I apologize again!
Spent like 30 mins on this to no avail (with some progress with nothing to back it)
jst wrong statements
do you have an idea on where to start
no
My advice, extend BE to CD, because angle(DEG) (G is point of intersection at CD) is 45 degrees, as DEB was 135
mhmm
Aside from that I just did some minor stuff, nothing concrete
ye
Yeah and also, if you get either of the two angles (equiangles inside DEA and BEA) as 45 degrees, then it's just wrong
mhm
Yeah that's all I can help you with, good luck!
can you help
The first thing I see is that you have two triangles
ye
DAE and EAB
which are symmetric (i am not sure that this is a saying in english)
and have the same length for the "sides"
Hey sorry to interrupt but try drawing the diagonal AC and working on the triangles and others inside ABC
ok
ye
Yeah it's pretty complicated with barely anything to work with
how
we know that $s^2 = h^2 + \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2$
Amiso_
ye
where h is the height and b the base and s what we are looking for
the only thing that we miss is h, however if we use pythagore, we can replace h by an relation with s and b
ye
which gives us two equations and two variablles
ye
can u walk me through it?
for the biggest triangle
yea
you have that the height $s^2 = h^2 + 18$
Amiso_
$18 = (\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{2})^2$
Amiso_
mhmm
you have that $h = \sqrt{s^2 - 18}$
Amiso_
yea
?
I look up this on internet
ye
but this is just pythagore
oh
and the $h$ for the equation is not the same in both triangle
Amiso_
oh
I feel like it misses a relation but I can't find what
oh
ye
because $s$ is the same everywhere we have that
$h_1^2 + \left(\frac{b_1}{2}\right)^2 = h_2^2 + \left(\frac{b_2}{2}\right)^2$
Amiso_
ye
$h_1 = \sqrt{h_2^2 + (\frac{b_2}{2})^2 - (\frac{b_1}{2})^2}$
which then can
Amiso_
you have then $s^2 = h_2^2 + constant$ and
$s^2 = h_2^2 + otherconstn$
Amiso_
mhmm
then you can solve it
ok
it is kind of rough
i'll thell u when im done, then u can verify
yes
wait
what do i solve for again im so confused
for $s$
Amiso_
✪bugged micro-ronin✪
yes
and the constant if find as said before
i got it i think
does it work?
i think..
can u check?
I'll try
kk
ye im cooked
hmmm
I haven't read your discussion but it's a very easy solve if you extend BE and form a right triangle with BD as hypotenuse
how though
I tried that
how bout we try this
there's no right angle, because that bloody BE extends to be slightly more that 90
i got 1/2 for this
:o
okay now that's just bonkers
?
IDK if that works, but if it does then there's no way I would have thought of that
There was a hint in the problem description, with the sqrt(2) value
can we be done with the question in 10 mins?
Yea
I'll start with the second one
ok
You see that circle? What's the exterior angle BAD?
exterior
wait 270
uh
They have the same arc BD
135º is correct
okay
Half of 270
oh yea
So when you extend with EF, what's the angle FED?
Right
kk
Now if I want to make a square with diagonal ED, do you see how F is a vertex of that square?
ye
Yeah I found all that, 45 degree and 135 degree
So DFE is a right angle, do we agree?
wut'
... F is a vertex of the square with diagonal ED
ok
If that square thing confuses you we can just make it an isosceles triangle
no need
Alright, so given DE = 6sqrt(2), what's DF and FE?
ok
That was a question
Do you know that the diagonals of a square of side-length x have length sqrt(2)*x?
they 6
Right so now you have a right triangle DFB, you know two side lengths, compute the hypotenuse
Then you have the diagonal of the big square, and from that, its side lengths, and its area
Yeah
AB would be 5sqrt(2), square that and it's 50, correct
yay
Yeah about this
Check if ABM ~ DMN
Because I'm getting something
That's obviously not the case, the small angle is different
Wait no I think I messed up, carry on
@tranquil pine Has your question been resolved?
Yeah I figured
Angle(AMB) is equal to the other equiangles
Again 30 minutes, again reached somewhere that feels concrete but I can't find anything to follow through with it
Yeah I've had enough, I apologize
If anybody else wants to take over then they can, I'm out

in q no. 30... i think they are reaching a common distance at different timestamps..as 80cm one will reach early to the common shared distance but in q no. 31 , they are being rung at the same time..
is it possible in the que no. 30 that they meet at the same time as also being at the shortest distance..
i hope i wrote it clearly..please ask if you don't understand something
hint: LCM. both questions
the question never said the people in q30 took steps at the same rate at each other
in fact, the timing of the steps don't matter in q30
<@&268886789983436800> possible tos
just in case
going back to your question
all that matters is that whether the three people can take some whole number of steps and arrive at the same spot
the three of them will take different numbers of steps

hii could someone tell me what I did wrong here? (trying to find the derivative of y wrt x) Ik I could’ve made it easier for myself by using the laws of logarithms but I wanna know im particular how I messed up here :<
assuming i didn't miss anything either, your dy/dx seems to be correct if potentially unsimplified @gray steppe what is making you say it is wrong?
my bad i js like to write them in one stroke 😞
oh
WELL I NEED TO SIMPLIFY IT FURTHER cuz its supposed to be (1/(x-3))-(1-(x+4))-(1/(x-1))
and idk how to go about that
thats defo the wrong way to put brackets with fractions
I CORRECTED IT.
but if you want to pull it apart into 3 fractions like that, ig you will need to use partial fractions.
jesus
oh D:
i havent studied that yet
aight then you have no choice but to rewind and apply log laws before diff
ill js learn partial fractions instead

my denominator turns out to be a cubic here no?
No
i worked out the derivative of the stuff inside the ln
to check it against your g'(x)
what did u get
wdymm
then why am i not getting the right answer ;(
the denominator differs
Which two denominators?
uhh this
and this
As you can see there's no logarithm here

i tried writing denominator as (x+1)^2+1
and then putting x+1 = tan^2 theta
but it wasnt working
why not u = sqrt(x+1)
i believe this reduces us to something like $k \int \frac{\dd{u}}{1+u^4}$ doesn't it
Ann
where k is some constant i cbf to figure out but which i also dont wanna get wrong
yes i got that with the other method also
except i got
2dt/(t^4+2)
yeah youll get a 2 for completing the square
ugly ugly crap
yeah expected
help
sub u = 2^(1/4)t first
in this?
maison
I think this is what you'll have
now you multiply and divide by 2
and do + t^2 - t^2 in the top
but why do we need to multiply and divide by 2
maison
t=sqrt (tan theta)?
nah
bro ur pfp is v weird
maison
thank you
yeah
divide the top and bottom of each fraction by t^2
then complete the square in t - 1/t in the first one and t + 1/t in the second one
yeah 👍 seems its standard from there
thank u
i dont think ill waste my time with the calculations
okay

My main question is did I do this right?
I wanna make sure I’m going about this the correct way
I’m unhappy about part e
I believe you need an extra line to write the sum as caₙxⁿ + … + ca₀ + cbₙxⁿ + … + cb₀
So just a formatting error there?
Then you bracket it as (caₙxⁿ + … + ca₀) + (cbₙxⁿ + … + cb₀), then factor out the c so you get c(aₙxⁿ + … + a₀) + c(bₙxⁿ + … + b₀) = cp + cq
If I submitted these when I was taking linear algebra, I would have gotten part marks at best for basically all of these.
Woah
This is my first homework assignment lol
The other thing upon closer inspection is see how they wrote addition
For example, b you did not start with the polynomial for p+q and algebraically rewrite it to give the polynomial for q+p. Look at how your textbook writes (p+q)(x) and compare it to what you wrote.
They actually bracket the coefficients together then did the x^power outside
A lot of the proofs should come down to ℝ is a field
I mean even without the brackets and writing it in its entirety, it’s the same thing right
Not by the definition given
(a+b)x is the same as ax+bx though
Maths is about following very very specific and arbitrarily determined rules
That’s not always true
If I prove distribution of multiplication over addition it is
But thats what you’re trying to do already
You say that “this is the same” but it’s only “the same” because that’s how they defined addition of polynomials
You’re using the definition for the claim that they are the same
Well if they’ve already defined the addition of polynomials that way, shouldn’t I follow that definition?
Well you didn’t write it
For example in a
You want to show that (p + q) + r = p + (q + r)
Your first line says aₙxⁿ + bₙxⁿ + …
As far as we know, that is not a valid statement
We have no idea what it means to write + between 2 things that look like aₙxⁿ and bₙxⁿ
The second line of this by definition of + should say (aₙ + bₙ)xⁿ + … + (a₀ + b₀) + cₙxⁿ + … c₀
The pluses you see in the polynomial aₙxⁿ + … are NOT the same pluses as the + between polynomials
so I should write the whole polynomial out first for (a+b) before writing out the polynomial for C
Well that’s what it means to have p + q
Ok
It is exactly what is written in the definition and you are practicing to not imagine things that aren’t there
As far as the proofs outside of the first two, am I chilling
It’s hard to unlearn it but you should try to
besides that E one
Because the ones I seem to trip up on are the ones where I write out the polynomials themselves
You can be more clear on all of them
Even the 0 polynomial
The nth degree 0 polynomial is of the form 0xⁿ + … + 0
Wait I’m in a different class, would you be ok if I DM you later showing pictures of my textbook? I want to show you the proofs they wrote for a previous vector space
For d you should show that it indeed is the additive element
Don’t dm me open a channel
And also every uni has a different bar to get marks
I’m only saying to be completely rigorous
Could I tag you when that happens (since you already have a good idea of what’s going on)
I’m at a pretty high tier uni
I might be asleep but sure
Like a top 50
Yeah I’ve seen top 20 unis with pretty shit bars too though
Lmfao

@versed crater if ur still awake im back
I was told A and B weren’t good enough by other people in server
@supple nest Has your question been resolved?
Please bruh
<@&286206848099549185>
they are not good enough
Well yes how would I go about fixing them
you want to show (p + q) + r = p + (q + r). but what you wrote at the start isn't (p + q) + r
i mean it is but not immediately
How
the more immediate equality you should start with is $$(p + q) + r = \left(\sum_{i=0}^n a_n x^n + \sum_{i=0}^n b_n x^n \right) + \sum_{i=0}^n c_n x^n$$
swashbuckler
did you or the book already prove real polynomials form a vector space?
if so, associativity and commutativity are inherited from that one
Wdym
the entire question is proving that Pn(R) is a vector space
yea i know. but what's F(R) the book mentions in the example?
F(r) is all functions
I think they want you to do the same proofs that they did for F(R), which are all the axioms
all functions or all polynomial functions?
F(R) is all functions iirc
well i guess it doesn't matter if you have to write the proof from scratch anyway
Yeah
like they want us to use the proofs for F(R) as a guideline, rather than using the existence of F(R) as a vector space to prove Pn(R) is a vector space
It’s just tough because if we know R is a vector space we can just use that to prove all subsets of R are vector spaces lol
i was just trying to bring up that polynomials in general are commutative and associative with addition
and this is just a special case
where the polynomials are degree less than or equal to n
Yeah they are, I think it’s tough for me to write proofs just knowing those as simple facts
It’s like “all oranges are orange, prove that the oranges in this bag of oranges are orange”
It’s hard to make more complicated than that
oops, i wrote some of the letters wrong here. but to start you off, $$\left(\sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i + \sum_{i=0}^n b_i x^i \right) + \sum_{i=0}^n c_i x^i =\sum_{i=0}^n (a_i+b_i) x^i + \sum_{i=0}^n c_i x^i = \sum_{i=0}^n (a_i+b_i+c_i) x^i$$
swashbuckler
yea
some of the other axioms you need to prove are not quite as immediate i guess
I tried to say 10+15 is the same as 15+10, but my proof was saying 2+5+2+5+2+5+2+2=25
Like I broke up the polynomials into parts when I should’ve done them as a whole
yea
Like I’m technically right but made the proof way too convoluted
to the point where I’m saying something else
nothing you wrote was wrong, just that to justify the things you wrote, you'd need to know things about polynomials that would make the proof trivial in the first place
ok so I’m going off of things that I technically shouldn’t know yet in A and B
And E
if your proof of (p+q) + r = p + (q+r) just stated (p+q) + r = p + (q+r)
that also wouldn't be saying anything wrong
Yeah but I need to like, prove that that’s true right?
yea
Just by doing the polynomial addition again in a less convoluted way
i find it a little weird to do this instead of proving the more general fact that polynomials are associative and commutative, since you'd have to do that anyway to prove real polynomials form a vector space. and then this would just be a special case
I know, the question kinda sucks
yea i don't think questions like this are very interesting but you should know how to do them at least
Ok so just remember to add whole polynomials instead of by parts right?
proving two expressions are equal with basic algebra comes up a lot but it's frequently messed up
hm just remember that every time you write something like a = b = c = ..., you should be able to explain why a = b pretty simply. it could be from a definition, or an already known fact. same with why b = c, etc

hello
Are you supposed to use regression?
welli mean
i could solve it just by using the gradient
of the radius
but i wanna know how to do it w regression just incase i get a problem which i cannot just do this with
Regression is a pretty inappropriate tool here
How so
Regression to the mean suggests you have observations and are fitting a curve to that data. Do you mean like generically using optimization?
Like this? Im not familiar with desmos
yes the ~ thing
But the ~ regression is referring to this type of analysis
Ah ok
Which is why thats a weird tool to use to solve a tangency problem
i see

I'm confused on how the values inside the parenthesis were chosen
where is the "pole" or whatever that we use to shoot the rays
like I can tell the 3+2sin(theta) is the "big" one
but like idk where the lines are being drawn from to determine that
from 0,0, from -1,0 ?

how do you do the first one
so 0 = a + b
so a = -b
1 = ac + bd
(im going to call lambda "c" and mu "d" because it's easier)
but you can also write this as 1 = ac - ad
but 1 also equals ac^2 - ad^2
so ac^2 - ad^2 = ac - ad
(root(a)c - root(a)d)(root(a)c + root(a)d) = ac-ad?
wow this really doesn't look messy at all with the root(a)s
why would you do that
idk
no reason to bring root(a) into this
i dont know how you get to lambda^2 + lambda(mu) + mu^2
a(c - d)(c + d) = a(c - d)
sorry i just saw a difference of two squares and ran with it
oh yeah
i could have done it that way
bruh
why didnt i just do that
am I hallucinating or did some squares disappear
🤔
a(c^2 - d^2) = ac^2 - ad^2
wait so (c+d) = 1?
that would be the case provided that a(c - d) ≠ 0
it says a is positive
idk about c - d
👍🏻
it's either c-d = 0 or c+d = 1
do you just square (c+d)
c^2 + 2cd + d^2 = 1
i need to change the cd part somehow
this seems like overcomplicating it, plug in n=3 you get ac^3-ad^3=a(c^3-d^3) (from b=-a)
use difference of cubes formula
c^2+cd+d^2 should pop out
oh yeah
i should have done that
nvm
yes
this is indeed a STEP question
but it's a easy one
The formatting was giving step
yeah
I can't remember if I've attempted this one tbh
Either way I'm done with that shit now
Good luck, its not for the weak 😭
wait you sat STEP?
yh
Yeah unfortunately
I guess a start would be actually getting the offer tho
I had a cambridge offer
i think I'm probably gonna get rejected pre-offer rather than from STEP
And flopped
