#

based on the svd, how do i compute low rank approximation

wraith hinge
#

Hi! What do you mean how?

#

To obtain a low-rank approximation, keep only the k largest singular values in Σ, and set the rest to zero, where k is the desired rank.

#

Multiply the modified U, modified Σ, and V^T matrices back together to get the low-rank approximation. The rank of the approximation will be equal to the value of k.

The author plans to charge $8 per book. About how many should be printed to make a profit?

wise pecan
#

i dont even understand the question

#

wait y value is cost

#

but if the author prints one book

#

,calc 120+4/1

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

124
wise pecan
#

124 dollars

#

wait what?

#

8*24

#

,calc 8*24

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

192
wise pecan
#

,calc 120+96

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

216
wise pecan
#

,calc 216/24

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

9
wise pecan
#

wait im confused

ivory gull
#

I think c(x) is supposed to be 8

#

So 8x = 120 + 4x

wise pecan
#

,calc 120/4

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

30
ivory gull
#

Matches the graph

#

30 books is about right

wise pecan
#

ur right

#

but how?

ivory gull
#

The line y = 8 intersects somewhere around 30

wise pecan
#

there

ivory gull
#

Anything above 30 he makes a profit

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

Cause he’s charging 8 per and the cost per book decreases below $8 for every book after 30

ivory gull
#

So the intersection point is (30,8)

#

That’s the break even point

#

If he was selling them for $8 each

wise pecan
ivory gull
wise pecan
#

dude im so confused

#

i dont understand this unit

#

at all

ivory gull
#

What unit is it

#

In real world terms, the author wants to sell the book for $8 each, so they would need the book to cost $8 or less per book to turn a profit

wise pecan
#

with asymtopes

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

Oh wait

#

Forgot about the price of the book

#

But starting from the beginning, the function is decreasing

wise pecan
#

yea

ivory gull
#

And the author wants to sell for $8 a piece

wise pecan
#

mhm

ivory gull
#

So they cost needs to be at least $8 or lower to make a profit

wise pecan
#

if they charged $16 for a book

#

wouldnt that make them more money?

ivory gull
#

It’s a math problem they could i guess but that’s not the point

#

Y axis means the cost for the author

#

While $8 is the price they want to sell at

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

Because that’s what’s needed to make money if the author wants to sell for $8

#

(30,8) isn’t the break even point but it is the point where they start making money on each book they sell

#

I was wrong about that before that’s my bad

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

You could do 16

#

But the questions asking for the point to start making a profit

#

So at (30,8) total cost would’ve been $240

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

Yeah

#

But the questions asking for what point they make a profit

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

What math class is this

#

I have an idea

wise pecan
#

algb 2

#

what about u

#

?

ivory gull
#

Ffs

#

This could be solved with calculus

#

But nvm

wise pecan
#

alg 2 which is build up to calc

#

but how do i solve it with basic alg 2?

#

wait i think i got it

#

YEA

#

wait

#

let me tell u

#

lets say the guy chrges 16 for the book

#

and when does he make a profit

#

u do

#

16x=120+4(16)/16

#

whatever u get is how many books

#

he needs to sell to break even

#

right?

#

,calc 4(16)

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

64
wise pecan
#

,calc 120+64

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

184
wise pecan
#

,calc 184/16

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

11.5
wise pecan
#

wait

ivory gull
#

Kind of, the question want to know how many books are required not the price

wise pecan
#

The author plans to charge $8 per book. About how many should be printed to make a profit?

#

so we do

#

8x=120+4(8)/8

#

and solve

#

wait not

#

@ivory gull how did u do it?

ivory gull
#

With calculus

wise pecan
#

120+4x/x

ivory gull
#

Integral from 0 to x (8 - (120+4x/x)

#

I think

wise pecan
#

what?

#

thats not algb 2

ivory gull
#

You asked for the solution?

#

Nvm

#

Ignore it

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

Hold on I’m thinking of an algebra way to solve it

wise pecan
#

we love algebra

ivory gull
#

So I think 0 = (120 + 4x / x) + 240

#

Might be a solution

#

No wait

wise pecan
#

shouldnt it be 8x?

ivory gull
#

No 4x is the equation

#

Hold on

wise pecan
#

@ivory gull ?

ivory gull
#

Uhh

#

30

#

I think

wise pecan
#

how

ivory gull
#

Yeah I misenterpreted the question

#

So just find the point where the cost is $8

#

Everything past that point is profit

wise pecan
#

8=

#

?

ivory gull
#

So 120 + 4x / x = 8

wise pecan
#

wait should it be 8x=

#

or just 8?

ivory gull
#

Just 8

#

8 is the cost you want

#

x is per book

wise pecan
#

yea

#

so my method works, right?

#

lets say 16 books

#

sorry 16 is the cost

#

so we do

#

16=?

ivory gull
#

If you did 16 it would just be

#

16 = 120 + 4x / x

wise pecan
#

yea

#

i get it

#

thx bro

#

wait

#

mustard

#

what math are u taking?

ivory gull
#

But 16 isn’t what they’re asking for they’re asking for 8

ivory gull
#

Linear algebra

wise pecan
#

wait so does he need to sell 30

#

books

#

or more then 30

#

to make a profit

#

just 30, right?

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

No every book after 30 is a profit

wise pecan
#

how?

#

wait so once we solve 8x=120+4x

#

what is the answer

#

in

#

30 what?

#

30 books sold?

ivory gull
#

Because 30 is when the cost to make a book equals the price the author is selling it at

#

So everything after 30 is when they make a profit

#

X > 30

wise pecan
#

wait what?

wise pecan
ivory gull
#

No for every pride you would just plug it in differently so instead of c(x) = 8, you would switch out 8 for any number

#

When you plug it in you’re really looking for the intersection

#

Because that’s the point that you start to gain money per book

wise pecan
#

wait

#

so if i sell 31 books

ivory gull
#

Because at the number your profits are 0

wise pecan
#

120+4(31)

ivory gull
#

It’s a break even point

wise pecan
#

,calc 120+4(31)

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

244
wise pecan
#

,calc 244/31

solid kilnBOT
#

Result:

7.8709677419355
wise pecan
#

thats lower than 8

ivory gull
#

Yeah so 31 makes profit

wise pecan
#

how

ivory gull
#

But 30 is exactly equal to 8 so if it was sold for 8 profit would be 0

#

8-7.87 is the profit

#

Everything before 30 is negative profit

#

Everything after 30 is positive profit

#

30 exactly is 0 profit

wise pecan
#

wait we can write it as 4+120/x?

#

ohh yea

wise pecan
#

ok

#

thx bro

#

yes

#

assuming o means function composition

quartz plume
#

yea

#

wait so

quartz plume
left oriole
#

this is assuming the inverses exist

quartz plume
#

then the input of h^-1 is the input of the composition of the inverse of g of f

#

and yes

#

this is assuming that they exist

left oriole
#

the input to g^-1 is the value of f^-1(x), which is the number y such that f(y) = x

quartz plume
#

then the input of h^-1 would be the composition of those two correct?

sudden sentinel
#

What would a good answer for a) be?
And how would I visualize/interpret b and c?

sudden sentinel
#

for a) i know that 2w1 = w2
so would I say, "every vector w that is perpendicular to v has a y component that is double the x component and the dot product between w and v is equal to 0"

#

For b) could I say that all vectors lie on a plane?

granite cove
sudden sentinel
#

Could you tell me how?

granite cove
#

Like w = r * (1,2) for an arbitary r

sudden sentinel
#

Oh wow, alright thanks

#

Do you know how to do C? I could visualize B but can't do C

granite cove
#

Are you a bit fimiliar with orthogonal complement and dimensions in linear algebra?

sudden sentinel
#

😅 Not really, no
I'm still learning the basics

granite cove
#

Are you fimiliar with dimensions though? Or do I need to rely on school knowledge?

sudden sentinel
#

I guess not

granite cove
#

Ok, then it is hard to explain it rigorously without that knowledge. Say the first vector is a the second is b. Since a and b are not parallel, we can say that if c is orthogonal to a,b then it is orthogonal on the plane formed by a and b

#

Do you know any vectors that are orthogonal on a plane?

sudden sentinel
#

like any example of a vector that's orthogonal on a plane?

granite cove
sudden sentinel
#

yes

granite cove
sudden sentinel
#

ahhh gotcha

summer matrix
#

I need to solve the inequality for x and draw interval:

x−|x| < |x+5|−13

I rearanged:
x - |x| - |x+5| < -13

then I looked at each one:
|x + 5| < 13 when x < - 18

|x| < -13 when x < -13

same for the x.

The problem is that they are in dependent of each other so I don't know what to do now from this point on.

wise cipher
#

the left side will always be 0

#

so its just 0 < abs(x+5) - 13

#

or 13 < abs (x+5)

summer matrix
#

so I failed where I rearanged?

wise cipher
#

you almost got it right actually

#

U just didn't considered the effects of absolute value on the equation

#

let's say x = 4

#

Ah shet

#

Ok ok

summer matrix
#

okay so how would I continue from where I a, now ?

wise cipher
#

I see now

#

So what I said earlier is only true if x is positive

#

when it is negative, then it would be
-2x < abs(-x + 5) - 13

#

or -2x < abs (-(x - 5)) - 13

summer matrix
#

but you didn't rearange like I did

wise cipher
#

You need to figure out first what would happen for values of positive x and negative x

#

Then when you know it already you can rearrange it sorry mb I was in another channel

#

Ok im back

#

Let's go back to the start

summer matrix
#

agreed

wise cipher
#

Let's assume that x is positive first

#

so it would just
x - x < x + 5 - 13

#

or

#

8 < x

#

When x is positive

#

see?

summer matrix
#

I see

wise cipher
#

Now lets look what happens when it is negative

#

-x - x < abs (-x + 5) - 13

#

obviously the left side will be -2x

#

but the right side is a bit strange so lets focus on that

#

instead of thinking it as -x + 5, for me genrally I just think of it like this

#

abs (-(x-5))

summer matrix
#

okay

wise cipher
#

And ask the question, wehn will x-5 > 0 and < 0

summer matrix
#

why > 0 ?

#

why 0 ?

wise cipher
#

Since its absolute value

summer matrix
#

oh okay, by definition then

wise cipher
#

Ok ok

#

Wait lemme explain

#

The problem here is
The abs(-x+5) would actually generate 2 scenarios here

#

if x = 3, then
abs (-2)

#

if x = 4, then abs(-1)

#

BUT when x = 10 then

#

abs (5)

#

or when x = 9, then

#

abs (4)

#

and we know that abs(-4) = abs(4)

#

so this generates 2 scenarios

#

when -x + 5 >0 and <0

#

get it?

#

@summer matrix

summer matrix
#

amm

#

why wouold x = 3 generate abs(-2) instead of abs(2) ?

wise cipher
#

no it would be abs(-2)

#

and abs(-2) is = 2

#

what is -7 + 5?

summer matrix
#

2

wise cipher
#

no its -2

summer matrix
#

what

wise cipher
#

but since we have an absolute value

#

it becomes 2

summer matrix
#

-3 + 5 you saying it's -2 ?

#

😮

wise cipher
#

yeah but then you have this absolute value

#

and we have another scenario where we can also get 2

#

when x = 7

#

cause -7 + 5 = -2

#

ahh wait my bad

#

wtf

#

nah I got the first wrong

#

yeah at first you're correct

#

What I meant to put the -7 + 5 here

#

which is - 2

#

yah yah mb

summer matrix
#

okay so let's go from start now

#

we take a look at both sides of inequality

wise cipher
#

what I want to say is we can have 2 scenarios that have the same answer

#

That is what I'm trying to explain

#

when x is negative

#

cause you can have -2 and 2 but since its absolute value

#

they're the same

#

so abs(-7 + 5) = abs (-3 + 5)

#

that is why we need to figure out what happens when
-x + 5 > 0 and < 0

summer matrix
#

okay

wise cipher
#

What I usually do is do something like this

#

(-(x-5))

#

cause this is easier to work with

#

its the same thing as -x + 5 = -(x-5)

summer matrix
#

why -x + 5 and not x + 5 ?

wise cipher
#

distributive property

#

it has a hidden -1 when you see this kind of problem

summer matrix
#

|x+5| is what we have

wise cipher
#

it means -1 x ( x - 5)

#

Yes

#

But where done when x is positive

#

So that equation doesn't really work when dealing when x is a negative

#

that is why earlier when x is postive we just did this

#

x - x < x + 5 - 13

#

or 8 < x when simlified

#

but when x is a negative

#

the abs (x+5) changes

#

that is why we change all x with -x

#

so

#

-x - abs(-x) < abs(-x + 5) - 13

#

or - x - x < abs(-x + 5) - 13

#

which will be simplified as

#

-2x < abs(-x + 5) - 13

#

Then we need to figure out how -x + 5 is affected by the absolute value

#

Here you can try your method or mine but this is what I usually do

#

abs (-x+5) = abs (-(x-5))

#

x - 5 >= 0 when x >= 5

#

x - 5 < 0 when x <5 and x >= 0

#

we can't have x going to the negative side on this part

#

since we're accounting when the inside is abs(-x+5)

#

so let's check for the solution when x >= 5

#

-2x < abs (-(x-5)) - 13

#

-2x < x - 5 - 13

summer matrix
#

doesn't multiplying by negative change the symbol direction?

wise cipher
#

18 < 3x

#

6 < x when x>= 5

wise cipher
#

Here we used the distributive property

#

But its still the same thing

summer matrix
#

how do you get rid of absolute ?

wise cipher
#

when we have -4 + 5

#

it's the same thing as -(4-5)

#

-(-1)

#

or 1

summer matrix
#

sorry I am at part where we |-(x-5)| > 0 and |-(x-5)| < 0

wise cipher
#

ah no erase the absolutes there

summer matrix
#

they are not needed ?

wise cipher
#

Its already accounted for

#

We already have a solution for x when it is positive

#

now we're only asking when it is negative

#

And since the right side has abs(-x+5)

#

it will have two different scenarios

#

when x>5, the answer in -x + 5 is negative right?

#

but when x >= 0 and x < 5, then -x + 5 is positive

#

so you have two outcomes when x is negative

#

the value inside the absolute symbol either becomes negative or positive

#

And that is why we have these two

wise cipher
#

accounting for either cases

#

In which case you don't need to the absolute sigs

#

The only reason we multiply -1 on both sides is because of property of equations

#

yes go ahead

#

ah ok

summer matrix
#

I understand the above yeah

#

but just to sum up to this point

#

we first took a look at inequality

#

then see two cases

#

x > 0
y < 0

wise cipher
#

ah no

#

almost

#

the only reason we're only looking for different cases

#

is because we have an absolute value

#

if this was a normal inequality

#

then just do basic algebra

#

the absolute value gives two cases

#

when x is negative and when it is positive

summer matrix
#

yeah okay

wise cipher
#

and then we this other case when x is negative

minor thistle
wise cipher
#

because we have abs(-x+5)

wise cipher
minor thistle
wise cipher
#

this one is occupied

#

Here

minor thistle
#

Can you help me later tho

#

Okay ty

wise cipher
#

sure sure lemme finish with this one

#

so where we're we @summer matrix ?

summer matrix
#

this is so different from what was shown to us to solve such cases, well inequality cases

wise cipher
#

ah because I think they only shown you the simple ones

#

you also need to learn about property of equations here and fully understand how it works

#

since I think you have a misconception earlier that we should multiply the other side by -1

#

You only do that for cases like this

#

-16 < - x

#

when you multiply -x with -1, that -1 was not a part of the equation

summer matrix
#

no what I am lost is from the third step or something

wise cipher
#

ah ok ok

summer matrix
#
  1. we take alook at inequality
wise cipher
#

just reply it

summer matrix
#
  1. because we have absolute equation on left and right side
#

we need to compare that and take a look what happens >= 0 and < 0

wise cipher
#

yeah correct

summer matrix
#

am I correct so far?

#

okay

wise cipher
#

it's the absolute's problem

#

yes correct

summer matrix
#

so we come to first case

wise cipher
#

it's because of the absolute that we need to account what happens when x is postive and negative

summer matrix
#

(-(x-5)) >= 0

wise cipher
#

You can actually also use
-x + 5

summer matrix
#

and here is where I am not sure what you did

#

-x >= -5
and
x <= 5 if we multiply it by -1

wise cipher
#

it's just that -x + 5 = - (x-5)

#

they're basically the samething

#

I only use this since I'm more comfortable comparing x-5

#

since we don't actually care whether it the inside of (x-5) becomes a negative or positive

#

It's absolute value so it's always going to be positive

#

the problem is the value it will spit out

summer matrix
#

is what I wrote above correct?

#

x <= 5 ?

wise cipher
#

Yeah you that is correct

summer matrix
#

okay, then we take a look at -x + 5 < 0

#

and it's the same

#

correct ?

#

x > 5

wise cipher
#

yes

summer matrix
#

so we have x <= 5 and x > 5

wise cipher
#

so far so good

#

you also need to include

#

you're actually pretty close

#

let's have this one

wise cipher
#

so it means that -x + 5 is positive

summer matrix
#

yeah and -x + 5 < 0

wise cipher
#

so this part is

wise cipher
summer matrix
#

-x + 5 is positive exactly when x > <= 5 right ?

wise cipher
#

yeahhh

#

that's iiiit

summer matrix
#

okay

#

-x + 5 is negative exactly when x > 5

wise cipher
#

yeah

summer matrix
#

so this is all the cases we have for |x+5|

wise cipher
#

but remember that it should end at 0

#

since if we substitute

#

-(-4) + 5

#

then this would not be accounting for the original inequality

#

since everything that we done so far is WHEN x is negative

#

so make sure that it would have this format
-x + 5 when you simplify it

wise cipher
wise cipher
#

but you got the general idea

summer matrix
#

shouldn't it be:

#

-x + 5 is positive exactly when x <= 5
and negative when x > 5 ?

wise cipher
#

yes that would be negative

#

What I'm saying is we can't have x as a negative values

wise cipher
#

We're not talking about the -x +5 any more since I believe you already get that part

summer matrix
#

whywe can't have x as negative?

wise cipher
#

Because we are already accounting for it on this part

#

If we actually did a negative x

#

then This would turn something like this

#

-2x < abs(-(-x) +5) - 13

#

or

#

-2x < abs(x +5) - 13

#

which is not our original inequality

#

it should be
-2x < abs (-x + 5)

#

that's the reason we can't have x as negative values when we are already testing it when it becomes negative

summer matrix
#

ahh shit

#

I am getting lost

wise cipher
#

I mean earlier you got it already

#

just figure out what happens when
-x + 5 > 0 and < 0

#

you already got that righ

summer matrix
#

we did that

wise cipher
#

so let's have -x + 5 when x > 5

#

-2x < abs(-x + 5) - 13 when x > 5

#

we know that -x + 5 = -(x-5)

#

like earlier when -4 + 5 = - (4-5)

#

or when -10 +5 = - (10 - 5)

#

so we have
-2x < abs(-(x-5)) - 13

#

or -2x < x - 5 - 13

#

and then we will have
18 < 3x

#

or 6 < x when x > 5

#

let's have when x < 5

#

-2x < abs (-x + 5) - 13

#

or -2x < 5 - x - 13

#

8 < x when x < 5

#

so we have this when x is postive

#

lemme find it

#

ok lemme just solve it again

#

0 < x + 5 - 13

#

8 < x when x is postive

#

and when it is negative

wise cipher
wise cipher
#

you can check it on desmos if it works or not

summer matrix
#

let me reread everything before answering

#

okay

summer matrix
wise cipher
#

yeah

#

since that is the tricky part

#

you have two scenarios for -x here

#

THat would be easy if its just abs(-x)

summer matrix
#

take me again through how it's with x > 0

#

x - |x| < | x + 5 | - 13

#

x - x -x < 5 - 13

#

-x < -8

#

x > 8

#

right ?

wise cipher
#

=yeah

summer matrix
#

and that's it for when x > 0

#

now

wise cipher
#

that's for postive x

#

now for negative x

summer matrix
#

when x is negative we have

#

x - abs(-(-x)) < abs(-(x - 5)) - 13

#

correct

#

correct me if I am wrong at above syntax

#

not sure about abs and -

wise cipher
#

when we have negatives

#

its when -x + 5 > 0 and < 0

#

cause if -x + 5 turns into 2, its because -x itself is -3

#

but when -x + 5 turns into -2, its because -x itself is -7

summer matrix
#

not sure about numbers

#

where you got them

summer matrix
wise cipher
#

ok so what is -3 + 5

summer matrix
#

2

wise cipher
#

what is -7 + 5

summer matrix
#

-2

wise cipher
#

the problem is they're the same under absolute value

summer matrix
#

okay

#

that is what I understand

wise cipher
#

but doesn't really matter since

summer matrix
#

thought so

wise cipher
#

that would just be x

wise cipher
#

is wrong

#

it should be -x - abs

summer matrix
#

let me retype

wise cipher
#

since you're replacing all x with -x

summer matrix
#

-x - abs(-(x)) < abs(-(x-5)) - 13

#

correct ?

wise cipher
#

yeah

summer matrix
#

which is

#

-2x < abs(-(x-5)) - 13

#

now from this point

#

how do we proceed

wise cipher
#

the problem is the -(x-5) part

#

since -2 and 2 are equal under absolute value

#

so figure out when -(x-5) is going negative

#

and when it is going positive

summer matrix
#

wait

#

wh you talking about -2 and 2

#

this is where I lose understanding

wise cipher
#

they became the same thing when put under the absolute value

summer matrix
#

ohhh

wise cipher
#

abs(-2) = abs (2)

summer matrix
#

that is just an example you mean

#

so we are here:
-2x < abs(-(x-5)) - 13

now we figured out that right now we only care what is happening for negative x.

furthermore we see:

-(x-5) >= 0
when
x < 5

and
-(x-5) < 0
when
x > 5

#

correct so far ?

wise cipher
#

yeah

summer matrix
#

so far I understand

#

what happens next I don't

wise cipher
#

so for when x > 5 -> infinity it just get bigger right?

#

since this is absolute value

#

But when x < 5 from 0 to 5 gets bigger, the answer becomes smaller

summer matrix
#

wait

wise cipher
#

what is abs(-(1-5))

#

what is abs (-(5-5))

summer matrix
#

when x > 5 then -(x-5) < 0

wise cipher
#

what is abs(-(7-5))

#

and what is abs(-(20 - 5))

#

you see a pattern

summer matrix
#

lets go slow

summer matrix
#

you saying than when x is bigger than 5 and goes towards infinity x gets bigger

wise cipher
#

no the answer for

summer matrix
#

but we concluded earlier that when x grows from 5 -(x-5) < 0

wise cipher
#

abs(-(x-5))

#

not the x itself

#

yeah it gets bigger

#

but what I'm asking is what happens with abs(-(x-5))

summer matrix
#

that is what we figured out earlier no ?

#

-(x-5) >= 0
when
x < 5

and
-(x-5) < 0
when
x > 5

wise cipher
#

no, we're only finding the domain

summer matrix
#

when x is less than 5 it's bigger or equal to 0

wise cipher
#

no, we're trying to find what happens with the range

summer matrix
#

when x is more than 5 it's negative

wise cipher
#

with respect with the domain

wise cipher
wise cipher
summer matrix
wise cipher
summer matrix
#

value is negative

wise cipher
#

|1-5| = 4

#

|2-5| = 3

#

|3-5| = 2

#

|4-5| = 1

#

|5-5| = 0

#

|6 - 5| = 1

#

|7-5| = 2

#

|8 - 5| = 3

#

|9 - 5| = 4

#

Do you see a pattern

summer matrix
#

it's growing ?

wise cipher
#

yeah

#

But how about 1 to 5

#

what is happening?

summer matrix
#

but this is only when x > 0

#

we are talking about x < 0

#

no ?

#

I am sorry, I just wont be able to understand this.

there are two obvious candidate functions for f and g. maybe you can manipulate them somehow to get other solutions?

Let f be the function defined by f(x) = 2x^2+3x. What is the average value of f on the interval [0,2] written in simplest form?

novel jay
#

how should i solve this problem?

#

i got 7 which is the incorrect answer

#

basically i used the average value formula

#

then simplified it to the integral from 0 to 2 of x^2+(3x/2)dx

#

then just did f(b)-f(a)

dire kraken
#

I think you forgot to integrate x^2 + (3x/2)

#

f(b) - f(a) only comes after integrating

trim joltBOT
#

@novel jay Has your question been resolved?

novel jay
#

doesnt FTC and f(b)-f(a) find the integral

#

because solving a defitive jntegral is plug in top minus plug in bottom

#

oh FTc says F(b)-F(a)

#

which is after taking the integral of f(x)

#

ok that clears up so much stuff i thought was random in FTC

why is the limit 0 if its oscillating?

unique minnow
#

A limit can oscillate and still converge

proven hound
#

It would oscillate between two values(1 or -1), but the denominator tends to infinity so it becomes 0

The same way lim(sinx/x) tends to 0 as x tends to infinity

We add a little bit of y to y as we add a little bit of x to x.

Or y changes a little bit, as x changes a tiny bit.

This is the result of it with Sympy.

x, q = sp.symbols('x q')
y = (x**3)**(1/q)
der_1 = sp.diff(y, x)

marble wharf

well which basic ones

boreal dome
wraith hinge
#

no, i didn't know that, can you please tell me the statement?

boreal dome
#

f is multilinear => f(x1, ..., ax_i, ..., x_n) = af(x1, ..., x_i, ..., x_n) (linear for all composants)

#

alternate : if there is x_i = x_j for i ≠ j, f(x_1, ..., x_n) = 0

#

which means that if you have two equal composants, f will return 0

#

we can prove your statement by contraposition i think

#

for a n-tuples of vectors from V^n, we have det(e_1, ..., e_n) = 0, prove that (e_i) isnt linearly independant

it has this example thing and i just applied the problem to it

dapper swift
#

you're supposed to think for yourself you know

dapper swift
molten hinge
#

16

dapper swift
#

yeah

#

and same for [4, 5]?

molten hinge
#

25

#

oh dang i mustve done a miscount

dapper swift
#

yeah so it's just 16 + 25

#

width of each rectangle is (5 - 3)/2 = 1

hi

trim joltBOT
#

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

glass night
#

who can solve this to me please

marble mauve
glass night
#

is not my homework I have taken the exam today and this was my first question and I couldn't solve because it was so hard so I want to know what is the answer of this equation and sorry for distrub.

marble mauve
#

you are not asking anything but how to solve it, and no details

wraith hinge
#

learn how to solve it

marble mauve
#

^

wraith hinge
#

than just know the final number or the equation

marble mauve
#

learn to fish

wraith hinge
#

the final thing is useless anyways

#

its the fun of reaching there

marble mauve
glass night
#

I don't want the result I want the steps please

marble mauve
#

"how do i solve this equation"

wraith hinge
#

simply everything you can

#

and re-arrange into proper symmetric looking sides

#

with y functions on the right or left

#

and the x on the opposite

glass night
#

Can you explain more ?

I’m not really sure how to approach this question if I’m being totally honest. I’ve tried plugging in numbers for each box but then my inverse trig functions to find the angles never match eachother

fathom ivy
#

you’re definitely not getting an exact solution so i guess just approximate

might want to start by finding a target ratio for your side lengths

trim joltBOT
#

@mossy niche Has your question been resolved?

jaunty scarab
#

you know that your target angle is 10º; Which means that your target tangent, x/y, is 0.17632698

#

that means that you want to obtain a fraction that is as close to that value as possible, with x being a single digit, and y being one or two digits

#

i'd recommend going into EXCEL, and making a table of the thousand of fractions that you can get

#

and then checking which ones are closer to that tangent value

mossy niche
#

Okay thank you that helps a lot

frank merlin
#

do I need to find derivative of just ln(t^2)?

frank merlin
#

idk what they want

wraith hinge
#

and then simplify

jaunty scarab
#

they give you a function. That ugly integral.
They want you to derive that.

frank merlin
wraith hinge
#

huh

#

OH

#

mb mb

#

i just saw the f(x)

frank merlin
#

no worrys

#

so you know what they want @wraith hinge ?

wraith hinge
#

er not really

#

havent done this

wraith hinge
#

tho i would assume if you want the derivative of something you need to define f(x) first

#

so maybe try integrating the function

#

and then simplify it

#

and then derivate it

#

hm but that might lead to different answers
