What's are the tradeoffs against other methods ? I'm assuming it generates "smoother" curves ? If we take into account numerical efficiency(Speed to compute) is it good ?

acoustic flint
#

It’s simple to implement and efficient. I’m not sure how it compares to other methods, you can probably find out through a quick google search though.

If you have a lot of data, then you will need to approximate in sub sections as opposed to the entire data set though to avoid numerical errors

#

It will certainly be enough with the data you are dealing with by the looks of it. You will just have to do some testing to see how many interpolated functions you need e.g. 31%, 32%, 33% etc, until you find the surface is sufficiently smooth for you

leaden walrus
#

Oh, on a sidenote, would you happen to know how I would properly plot the result via python/matlab/mathematica or other common mathematical software ?

acoustic flint
#

I just took a quick look at matlab docs, it seems to be just as simple and produces better looking plots so go with matlab

i need hel;p on this

#

oops

#

Hi

wanton tendon
#

If you slice (horizontally) the solid obtained by rotation into pieces with width dy, you can find the volume obtained by rotating each slice approximately as the difference of volumes of a cylinder (hence cylindrical shell) with radius y and a cylinder with radius y+dy, which is just the volume of a cuboid with width dy, height 2piy and length is the difference between x values which given the same y... if I made the correct shells 😅

wanton tendon
#

-_-

loud sedge
#

;(

#

my bad im very sorry

#

:(

wanton tendon
#

It's ok

#

Same thing, cut horizontally to get slices of width dy, volume of the cylindrical shell is same as volume of cuboid with dimensions dy, 2piy, e-e^y

loud sedge
#

i see

wanton tendon
#

I think that's the only thing you couldn't figure out, what the dimensions will be, right?

#

Whenever one of the limits is 0, it is easier to figure out the dimensions, but when it isn't, it is helpful to just shift everything so that one of the limits is zero

#

So it becomes this

#

@loud sedge Solved?

yep!

How many logical connectives are possible involving the n simple propositions: p1, p2, . . . , pn?

wet nest
#

its $2^n$ right?

I think im misreading this question

@wet nest Has your question been resolved?

wet nest
#

<@&286206848099549185>

shrewd ridge
#

there are 2^(2^n) truth tables

#

i don't know what it's asking though

wet nest
#

ya, its the wording thats getting me

#

cause a proposition is a statement that can be proven as true or false right?

#

ah

#

true or false are considered both options for one proposition due negation being a connective

#

so thats wehre 2^n comes from

#

but wehre does the 2(2^n) come from

shrewd ridge
#

right ~ is a coonective

#

involves one

#

V is connective, involves 2

wet nest
#

cause i feel the other connectives join two propositions like and, or , implication, etc...

shrewd ridge
#

what if you could have a connective that works with 7 things

wet nest
#

wouldnt the amount of logical connectives for other ones just be n-1?

#

if we have n=3: p1,p2,p3
you can only have 2 joining loigical connectives 'and' and 'or'

shrewd ridge
#

the point is that you can have ← which is like implication but backwards

wet nest
#

oh, that complicates thing, i didnt think about that

shrewd ridge
#

it's possible to think of it

#

and there are 2^2^2 things you can think of

#

with 2 propositions

wet nest
#

thats right, so for n=3, there are 3 possible combinations for implication

#

right cause as you mentioned it can go both directions the implication

#

and you can only have one logical connective joining two propositions at a time

#

with implication creating the most possiblities, n

#

where n is equal to the number of proposition

#

so if you have n propositions you can have n possible joining connectives.
you also have to take into consideration that they can be true or false due to negation which only needs one proposition

#

which is 2^n possibility

#

so combining them would be n^2^n

#

since negation and joining logical connectives are independent of eachother

#

bad math

shrewd ridge
#

no, i don't know what you're saying and i still don't know what it's asking but it's not what i meant

wet nest
#

if n =2 then there are 8 possibilities

#

since if you take implication there are two possiblities

#

and 2^n for negation

shrewd ridge
#

this doesn't account for ⊻

wet nest
#

so, the best, I can find is that youre answer is right because its 2^(# of row)^(# of propositions)

#

but it isnt making sense to me

#

in a truth table

boreal harbor
#

think about a set of n variables

#

the set of all functions of those variables is the set of all possible ways to assign 0 or 1 to each row in the truth table

#

a single function can be uniquely identified by the set of inputs that map to 1

#

so you have the set of all possible inputs, and then each function can be represented as the subset of those inputs that map to 1

#

hence the set of all functions is the power set of the set of all inputs. the cardinality of the set of all inputs is 2^n, so the cardinality of the power set is 2^(2^n)

wet nest
#

do I not know what a logical connectives is?

#

thats negation, and, or, implication right?

shrewd ridge
#

yes

boreal harbor
#

well those are examples

#

there are more

shrewd ridge
#

we're assuming it's about how many more can you think of

#

that you were never taught

boreal harbor
#

2^2^n to be precise

shrewd ridge
#

not how to combine them

boreal harbor
#

wait what maybe im the one confused here

shrewd ridge
#

we're just assuming what the question wants, i don't personally know

wet nest
#

2^2^n is the right answer

#

its just confusing to understand why

#

lets say n =2, the answer would be 16 , what does the 16 mean/

#

?

shrewd ridge
#

that there's and, or, imlpication, not equals, equals

boreal harbor
#

then its considering a logical connective to just be a function
$f:{0,1}^n\to{0,1}$

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

shrewd ridge
#

less than 2

#

less than 1

#

less, more

boreal harbor
shrewd ridge
#

i would be surprised

boreal harbor
#

maybe not names

wet nest
#

im seeing it as the number of combinations you can have with logical connectives. so if you have p and q that would be 4 logical connectives, p and q, not p and q, p and not q, and not p and not q. its irrelevant what you have in between p and q because you have to have a logical connective between them.

#

im missreading this

shrewd ridge
#

ok i was wondering how do you call "A"

#

A is a stupid name lol

#

thank you

wet nest
#

how many logical connective, what does that even mean

boreal harbor
wet nest
#

i know what a logical connective is

shrewd ridge
#

there are connectives that you weren't taught

boreal harbor
shrewd ridge
#

the question asks to count how many you were not taught

boreal harbor
#

you dont need to exhaustively list every possible connective to count them

shrewd ridge
#

the point is that it's solveable

wet nest
boreal harbor
wet nest
#

yes

boreal harbor
#

right

wet nest
#

i dont understand possible functions

#

i know what a function is

boreal harbor
#

right so

#

$A\land B$
gives
A | B | F


0 | 0 | 0
0 | 1 | 0
1 | 0 | 0
1 | 1 | 1

boreal harbor
#

however, thats the same as, lets say
$(A \land B)(B\lor \neg B)$

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

boreal harbor
#

so we need a way of getting a unique signature for each function from which you can construct the truth table

#

one way of doing this is identifying each function by the inputs that make it true

#

in the case of $A\land B$ this is the set ${(1,1)}$

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

boreal harbor
#

do you follow so far

wet nest
#

so, starting with the first part, you created a truth table of A and B and a third column of the result of the conjunction

not sure how thats equivalent to (A and B) (B or not B) theres not logical connective between (A and B) and (B or not B)

boreal harbor
wet nest
#

oh mb

boreal harbor
#

$(A\land B)\land(B\lor \neg B)$

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

boreal harbor
#

point being that there are a bunch of different ways we can express the same thing

wet nest
#

(A and B)(B or not B), (A and B) F, where F is the contradiction, (A and F) and ( B and F) therefore its always false by domination law

#

do i have that correct?

boreal harbor
#

hmm wdym

boreal harbor
wet nest
#

oh i missplaced the or in B for an and

#

so ya

#

wait

#

(A and B) and (B or not B), (A and B) and T where T is tautology, (A and T) and (B and T) which is (A and B)

#

got it

#

so they are equivalent

#

had to write it down

boreal harbor
#

yep exactly

boreal harbor
#

and im doing that by saying each truth table is uniquely represented by the set of the rows whose output is 1

#

do you follow that so far

wet nest
#

could you explain that part a little more

#

in the case of $A\land B$ this is the set ${(1,1)}$

solid kilnBOT
#

TheKingPin

boreal harbor
#

gimme a sec

#

this is our truth table for AND. now i want to find a way to uniquely represent this as a set

#

to do this, we circle each row where xy evaluates to 1

boreal harbor
#

here its just one row

#

we represent this row as the inputs in an ordered pair (x,y)

#

put it in a set and we have {(1, 1)}

#

lmk if im not explaining clearly enough

wet nest
#

I think i get it

boreal harbor
#

just to make sure we're on the same page, what would the set corresponding to this truth table be?

wet nest
#

set? I know what a set is but im not sure what youre asking. If i had to guess x+y = {(0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,0)}

boreal harbor
#

well you included one element there twice

#

(1,0) is a single element. remember sets cant have two of the same element

wet nest
#

oh I meant that as an ordered pair

boreal harbor
#

hmm

wet nest
#

oh, i can see why that doesnt matter

#

its not a function

boreal harbor
#

hopefully this makes it a little clearer

vagrant prism
solid kilnBOT
#

artemetra

vagrant prism
#

OR is (sorta) equivalent to a union

wet nest
#

sorta, i meant to write it like this x or y = (x) x (y) = {(x,y) : x,y in {0,1} } which is {(0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,0)}

boreal harbor
wet nest
#

a cartesian product

boreal harbor
#

logical or is written as + in circuit design

wet nest
#

of x and y

#

wait no

#

thats nonsense

boreal harbor
boreal harbor
solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

wet nest
#

ah yes, thats what i meant

boreal harbor
#

but we're looking at a subset of the set of all possible inputs corresponding to the inputs that make our function spit out true

boreal harbor
wet nest
#

right, i get why theyre 1

boreal harbor
#

so we just take the inputs corresponding to those

#

(0,1)
(1,0)
(1,1)

#

and we put them in a set

#

and thats our signature for the function

#

does that make sense

wet nest
#

why are we fixated on the rows that produce a 1 for logically connected propositions?

boreal harbor
#

because that is what uniquely identifies our function/connective

wet nest
#

I can see that

boreal harbor
#

okay so heres the where the main argument comes in

#

you mentioned earlier the cartesian product
{0,1}x{0,1}
right

wet nest
#

yes

boreal harbor
#

now you know that the signature of any function of two variables will be a subset of this set

#

so what is the set of all possible functions?

wet nest
#

it would be 2^n

boreal harbor
#

well im not asking the size just yet

wet nest
#

its not the same thing?

boreal harbor
#

like can you describe the set of all possible functions in terms of the set of all possible inputs?

wet nest
#

oh describe the set

#

{ {0}x{0}, {0,1}x{0}, {1}x{0}, {0}x{0,1}, {0}x{1}, {1}x{1} } I believe

boreal harbor
#

an element of the set {0,1} can only be either 0 or 1. so {0,1}x{0,1} is just the set of all ordered pairs (x,y), which is exactly the set of all possible inputs

wet nest
#

oh, thats right, i over thought that

boreal harbor
#

yeah

wet nest
#

mb

boreal harbor
boreal harbor
wet nest
#

right, its redundant

boreal harbor
#

basically, the set of all functions is the power set of the set of all inputs

#

that is, its the set of all possible subsets of the set of inputs

#

this is a little confusing, so lets assign some notation to it. lets say
$D = {0,1}$. lets consider the case of two variables, and say that a function f takes as input $D^2=D\times D$. $f$ corresponds to some subset of $D^2$ that has exactly the rows of f's truth table that spit out a 1

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

boreal harbor
#

then the set of all possible $f$ is the power set of D, $P(D)$

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

wet nest
#

ya, that makes sense

#

so it has every truth table basically

boreal harbor
#

exactlt

#

so whats the cardinality of the power set

wet nest
#

2^n ?

#

you either have the element in the set or not

boreal harbor
#

yep

#

now what is n here

wet nest
#

number of elements?

boreal harbor
#

the number of elements in $D^2$, right

solid kilnBOT
#

esca (@ with reply)

boreal harbor
#

which is?

wet nest
#

ah, yes

#

so D^2 is the cartesian product DxD where D = {0,1} which is also 2^n basically same idea, you have the element or not

boreal harbor
#

yep

#

the cardinality of D^2 is 2 to the power of how many variables you have, which is 2

#

in general, the cardinality of D^n is 2^n. here n is the number of variables

#

so you just plug that into your equation for the cardinality of the power set

#

and you have 2^(2^n)

wet nest
#

so, the power set is 2^n combinations due to the number of elements in D where n is D which is also a set which has the size 2^n based on the combination of the number of elements right?

#

i poorly wrote that

wet nest
#

ok, i get that

#

thats pretty cool actually

#

I still dont get what the original question is asking though

boreal harbor
#

its just asking for this

wet nest
#

I do understand this

boreal harbor
#

the set of all logical connectives is just the set of all truth tables

wet nest
#

lol

#

is there a simpler way of writting what they are asking?

#

i just dont like how the question is worded

#

it confuses me

boreal harbor
#

yeah me neither. i would write something like how many possible unique boolean functions of n boolean variables exist or something maybe

wet nest
#

cause i know what we did was write all the possible combination of T and F in a truth talble of any number of variabels

wet nest
#

oh

#

I think i get it now

#

there might be logical connectives that I dont know

#

so to take that into account we found all the possible truth tables that can be written

#

for the number of propositions we have

boreal harbor
#

yep exactly

wet nest
#

wow

#

ya, i definitely get it now

#

that question was defintely poorly worded

That should be right?

whole coral
#

It does happen to be right, yep SCgoodjob2

keen void
#

It's a bit confusing rememberig that i have to derive wrt x_1, x_2,..x_n

rugged latch
#

u should include a \pdv in there somewhere, otherwise it looks like ur just equating |x| and x/|x|

keen void
#

Considering i'm used to wrt x,y,z etc

#

What is a \pdv?

rugged latch
#

partial derivative

#

otherwise it doesnt make sense

keen void
#

Oh

rugged latch
#

and get rid of an equals sign

keen void
#

yeah i probably should

#

I just try to learn it rather than the fine details c:

rugged latch
#

its not a fine detail

whole coral
#

In particular, top is not equal to the bottom-

rugged latch
#

1 more thing: which x are u differentiating wrt?

keen void
#

I'll do it properly next time catbruh

#

Speaking of next time

#

Calculate the directional derivative in the direction $(-4,2,-4)$ of the function $f(x,y,z)=\frac{xy^2z^2}{2+x}$ in the point $(2,2,1)$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

I am not entirely sure i understand gradients well enough to interpret this question

#

But if i derive and find nabla to the function. Plug in the point 2,2,1 should i get the answer?

#

derive and find the gradient*

whole coral
keen void
#

That i'd assume

#

Since it mentions direction in a point

whole coral
#

Yep, you have a directional derivative, though be careful what you choose as v

keen void
#

$\nabla f(a)\cdot v$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

So i need the gradient of f

#

a is my point

#

and v is my direction?

whole coral
#

v is to be the direction, but there's a condition that v must satisfy first-

keen void
#

|v| = 1?

whole coral
keen void
#

(-4,2,-4)

#

if v = (-4,2,-4) then |v| = (4,2,4) ?

whole coral
keen void
#

The formula highlights v in bold indicating its a vector?

#

How can a vector equal 1?

whole coral
#

The vector norm is supposed to be 1

whole coral
keen void
#

oh shit wait

#

i think we did this in linear algebra?

whole coral
#

Or you at least very much should have catLove

keen void
#

Wasn't it

#

to find |v| we took

#

$v \cdot v$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

i think?

#

I dont have that formula sheet

whole coral
keen void
#

ah right

#

Can't remember it D:

#

but i got |v| to be 6

not 1

#

I was insulting my school :c

whole coral
#

The word is just banned veryiq

keen void
#

haha i can see why tbh

#

Anyhow

#

how do we make it = 1?

whole coral
keen void
#

we multiply it with lambda?

whole coral
#

And what do you wanna choose as lambda RooThink

keen void
#

I dont know hahaha

whole coral
#

You can always divide by the norm (for nonzero vectors) to get a unit vector in the same direction happyCat

keen void
#

I dont remember any of this

whole coral
#

Awwwww sadcat yeaaa stuff's all really linked and shows up everywhere you go monke

keen void
#

So i can only use the formula if i have |v| = 1

#

I don't understand why that condition is set, but i can see the formula requires it

#

However i have no idea how i make it = 1

#

We aren't even given the formula sheet for linear algebra on the exam

#

so how am i supposed to remember this by heart?

whole coral
#

If $\norm{v}$ isn't already 1, then replace $v$ with $\frac{v}{\norm{v}}$

solid kilnBOT
#

@whole coral

whole coral
#

That just scales v (and as the norm is strictly positive, direction remains unchanged, doesn't end up pointing in the opposite direction or anything) and "clearly" has norm 1

keen void
#

Like so?

#

oh wait a minute

#

isn't a unit vector (1,1,1)?

#

always?

#

fuck my life

#

i can't remeber this

whole coral
#

Unit vector means its norm is 1, and in fact, (1, 1, 1) is not a unit vector as it does not have norm 1

keen void
#

How am i supposed to remember linear algebra

whole coral
#

A unit vector, you just need to work out its norm, and see that it should be 1

keen void
#

what does normalize mean

whole coral
#

"make it have norm 1"

keen void
#

What is norm bleakcat

#

that it is perpendicular to the plane?

whole coral
keen void
#

"A normalized vector maintains it's direction but it's length becomes 1" ?

whole coral
keen void
#

Alright i think i get it

#

we divide a vectors length by it's length, making it = 1 and preserving the direction?

whole coral
#

You divide a vector by its length, and the result then will have length 1 and same direction, yea SCgoodjob2

keen void
#

Okayy soo

#

$v = (-4,2,-4) = (-2/3,1/3,-2/3)$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

This statement is true?

#

Since i divided it with |v| it's now normalized and we can use the formula

#

Do you have any advice to find the gradient?

#

$\nabla f(x,y,z) = xy^2z^2(2+x)^{-1}$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

Write it as such and apply product rule wrt x, y and z?

whole coral
whole coral
keen void
#

It's a bit tricky to differentiate

#

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2z^2(2+x)^{-1} + xy^2z^2 * -1(2+x)^{-2}$

solid kilnBOT
#

Merineth

keen void
#

Does this seem right?

pseudo grotto
keen void
#

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y^2z^2(2+x)^{-1} + xy^2z^2 * -1(2+x)^{-2} \ \
= \frac{y^2z^2}{2+x}-\frac{xy^2z^2}{(2+x)^2} \ \
= \frac{(2+x)(y^2z^2)-xy^2z^2}{(2+x)^2} \ \
= \frac{2y^2z^2+xy^2z^2-xy^2z^2}{(2+x)^2} \ \
= \frac{2y^2z^2}{(2+x)^2}$

main sigil

Why does the ** equation hold? I don't understand how it's implied from the fact that matrix with two identical rows has a 0 determinant.

main sigil
#

relevant definition (TLDR: T_i, j is cofactor)

#

t's are the entries of the matrix

#

<@&286206848099549185>

cobalt nebula
#

When calculating the determinant of a matrix you can make lineair combinations of rows with rows and columns with columns. If you have two identical rows, you can substract one row from the other identical row, thus creating a row with only zeros. If you have a row with only zeros, the determinant is always zero.

amber python
#

it gives you the determinant

amber python
#

now imagine you replaced row k with row i

#

and did the laplace expansion in row k

#

you'd get the expression in (**)

Im very confused by the bounds

#

the inner integral covers the bounds for x_1 right

#

so why is it stat=rting from

#

0.25

#

instead of 0

#

we have 0 <= X_1 <= 0.5

so shouldnt the bounds for inner integral be 0.25 to 0.5

vagrant prism
exotic jetty
#

inner integral is x_2

gentle sleet
#

oh I thought inner integral is usually x_1

#

but then

#

the outer integral

exotic jetty
#

doesnt have to be

gentle sleet
#

why is it doing 0.25 to 0.5 instead of 0 to 0.5

vagrant prism
#

because x1 is between 0 and 0.5

gentle sleet
#

right but they put

#

.25 to .5

#

instead of 0 to 0.5

#

thats whats tripping me out

vagrant prism
#

oh sorry

#

x_2 is less than or equal to x_1

#

so x_1 is greater than or equal to x_2

#

$x_1 \geq x_2$

solid kilnBOT
#

artemetra

gentle sleet
#

right

#

oh

and $0.25 \leq X_2$

gentle sleet

oh my god

Now I dont understand the bounds of this

gentle sleet
#

forgot to mention that

#

for the first one shouldnt it be 0.25 to x_1 since we r integrating wrt dx_2?

vagrant prism
#

the lower bound of 0.25 was from the first probability question, i.e. P(0.25 <= X2)

#

but otherwise, in general x2 is between 0 and x1

gentle sleet
#

oh wait

gentle sleet
#

why dint they let the outer bound be x_1 to 1 ?

#

why 0 to 1

#

wont we be integrating over the same bound twice?

0 to 1 also covers 0 to x_2 right

vagrant prism
#

on which one

supple copper
#

If the outer bound is x₁ to 1

#

After you evaluate both integrals it’ll be a function of x_1

#

But the expectation should be some number

#

Not a function

#

Bounds can only be functions of outside variables

gentle sleet
#

oh I dont get how they got the bounds then

supple copper
#

The outer bound can’t be a function of x₁ because x₁ was already integrated out

gentle sleet
#

why is the inner bound 0 to x_2

supple copper
#

The inner integral is taking each slice of some x₂ value

#

The outer integral is taking all such slices

gentle sleet
#

oh so the very outer integral bounds shoulkd always cover the whole space?

#

for this

supple copper
#

It should always be over R

#

But the function is 0 outside of 0 to 1

gentle sleet
#

why couldnt the inner integral bound have been 0 to x_1 or x_1 to 1?

#

I dont get that

supple copper
#

I recommend learning multivar calculus first

rugged latch
#

Bro why is Leonard posing

supple copper
#

After you integrate you should lose all the x₁’s

gentle sleet
#

ill peep the vid real quick

supple copper
#

If the limits still have x₁ it’ll still be a function of x₁

supple copper
#

I pretty much learned all my calculus knowledge from his channel

#

This and the next few videos solidify everything you should know about multivariate integration

#

It’s good to spend just a few hours over like 2 days and the idea of bounds should be completely clear after watching the videos

#

But make sure you’re actively watching not just playing it in the background

now what (𝔸dωn𝓲²s)

urban copper
#

a moment

#

this limit is solvable

#

is approaching a/3

#

,, -\frac{a}{3} < x-4 < \frac{a}{3}

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

limpid dawn
#

I was right

#

R = 2

#

so for a/3 = 2 basically

urban copper
#

how do I check my solution

limpid dawn
#

wdym

urban copper
#

if R = 2 , $a \in (-6, 6)$

limpid dawn
#

uhm wait

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

@wild quail

limpid dawn
#

(-6,6) is not correct notation

urban copper
#

how do I find a then

limpid dawn
#

a = 6

urban copper
#

okay

limpid dawn
#

a > 0 anyway

urban copper
#

yeah.

#

how do I check my answer a = 6?

limpid dawn
#

maybe there is an online calculator

#

but you also need to determine the interval of convergence

urban copper
#

how to find all x such that this converges?

limpid dawn
urban copper
#

,, -\frac{6}{3} < x-4 < \frac{6}{3} \ \implies \frac{-6 + 12}{3} < x < \frac{18}{3}

limpid dawn
#

noo

#

a = 6

#

not 2

#

R = 2 = 6/3 = a/3

left oriole
#

not sure if this was already addressed, but the endpoints should be checked

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

limpid dawn
#

yea this too

limpid dawn
urban copper
#

2 < x < 3

#

how to proceed

limpid dawn
#

now what

#

you check end points too

urban copper
#

wdym

limpid dawn
#

borders

urban copper
#

yes, 2 and ,3 , how

#

?

limpid dawn
#

plugging in?

#

into the series

#

and see if it converges

urban copper
#

given the series $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n\left(x-4\right)^n}{a^n\sqrt{2n+1}}$ find $a > 0\\$ such that the radius of convergence is $2$. $\\$For the found a value, find all $x\in \mathbb{R}$ such that the series converges.

limpid dawn
#

like previous times same blue print

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

$\begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n\left(2-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n\left(3-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases}$

limpid dawn
#

and a?

urban copper
#

6

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

limpid dawn
#

also you cansimplify 3^n/6^n

urban copper
#

$\implies \begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(2-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(3-4\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases} \\\ \implies \begin{cases} &2 \cdot\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(-1\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(-1\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases}$

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

left oriole
#

wait, you found the interval of convergence to be (2,3) even though the series is centered at 4?

#

that doesn't make sense

#

it should be symmetric around x=4

urban copper
#

we ommited $(x-4)^n$ when taking ratio test

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

I think

left oriole
#

sure

urban copper
#

okay

left oriole
#

but if the radius of convergence is R then the interval is gonna be (4-R, 4+R)

#

possibly including the endpoints

urban copper
#

2, 6

#

,, -\frac{6}{3} < x-4 < \frac{6}{3} \ \implies \frac{-6 + 12}{3} < x < \frac{18}{3}

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

left oriole
#

yea, assuming R=2

urban copper
#

here is the problem haha

#

6/3 = 2

#

18/3 = 6

#

okay mb

left oriole
#

nw

urban copper
#

so $x \in \left(2,6\right)$

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

left oriole
#

yea, and you have to manually check 2 and 6

#

the series may or may not converge at the endpoints

urban copper
#

$\begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n\left(2-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n\left(6-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases}$

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

left oriole
#

why is that red?

#

yea, all the stuff with powers of n will cancel

#

ah i see

urban copper
#

$\implies \begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(2-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(6-4\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases} \\\ \implies \begin{cases} &2 \cdot\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\left(-1\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(2\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases}$

left oriole
#

discord glitch

#

the simpflication is wrong

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

left oriole
#

go back to this:

urban copper
#

2-4 = -2

left oriole
#

in the first one you get (3^n (-2)^n) / 6^n which is just (-1)^n

#

in the second one it will be just 1

urban copper
#

wait

left oriole
#

so the first one should simpflify to (-1)^n / sqrt(2n+1)

urban copper
#

what happened to the sqrt

left oriole
#

i mean just the stuff with powers, it all cancels

#

so like this is wrong:

urban copper
#

that should be $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}}$?

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

and the second one the same but not -1 but 1

#

that second one should be $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{(1)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}}$

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

how to check convergence now?

limpid dawn
#

what happend to the 2^n term in the denominator

urban copper
#

(1/2)^n

limpid dawn
#

where is that

urban copper
#

is a simplification of this

#

no?

#

(1/2)^n * (-2)^n

limpid dawn
#

,,\frac{3^n}{6^n} = \frac{1}{2^n}

solid kilnBOT
#

now what (𝔸dωn𝓲²s)

urban copper
#

but the limit of (1/2)^n is the same as the limit of 2^-n

limpid dawn
#

omg sorry

#

ic

urban copper
#

$\implies \begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(2-4\right)^n}{6^n\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\cdot \frac{\left(6-4\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases} \\\ \implies \begin{cases} &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\left(-1\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \\ &\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\left(1\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \end{cases}$

#

lowkey

limpid dawn
#

the 6^n

#

`?

urban copper
#

mb

solid kilnBOT
#

calc_and_real_anal

urban copper
#

this should be equivalent AFAIK

#

but we need an algebra master to justify that

limpid dawn
#

it's fine

#

1^n = 1

urban copper
#

nevertheless, how to check convergence?

#

,w lim n to infinity 1^n = 1

limpid dawn
#

for the bottom sum I would use comparison test

#

haha

urban copper
#

comparison with what

limpid dawn
#

,, \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2n+1}} \geq \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{4n}}

#

this seems to diverge more

#

so we could try to find a smaller series that diverges

#

compare it to 1/sqrt(4n)

urban copper
#

I need more hints

limpid dawn
#

we need to make the denominator bigger

#

4n is greater than 2n+1

urban copper
#

this comparison test does not tell anything about convergence though, we still need to check the convergence

solid kilnBOT
#

now what (𝔸dωn𝓲²s)

urban copper
#

yeah

#

you can take the 4 out of the sqrt

limpid dawn
limpid dawn
#

and 1/sqrt(n) diverges after the integral criterion

#

so for x = 6 it diverges

urban copper
#

wdym

limpid dawn
#

you could also save the images i sent smh

urban copper
limpid dawn
#

,,\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{\alpha}} \text{ converges for } \alpha > 1

solid kilnBOT
#

now what (𝔸dωn𝓲²s)

left oriole
#

integral test a bit overkill here but sure, it works

limpid dawn
limpid dawn
#

yea it was called p test

urban copper
limpid dawn
#

yea this

urban copper
#

okay p = 1/2

#

1/2 <= 1

#

so diverges

limpid dawn
#

this is a restul from the integral criterion this is what i meant mb

#

yea

urban copper
#

and due to comparison test the other one diverges as well

#

?

left oriole
#

no be careful with the other one

#

note the (-1)^n

urban copper
#

alternating

left oriole
#

yea, see if it satisfies all the requirements for the alt series test

limpid dawn
#

you could make use of Leibnitz

#

or alternating test

urban copper
#

which one leibnitz or alternating?

limpid dawn
#

both the same name

#

some call it leibnitz others alternating test

urban copper
#

,, \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\left(-1\right)^n}{\sqrt{2n+1}}

You can prove algebraically 1)

urban copper

I need more handholding

limpid dawn

a_n has to be a null sequence
