no because the columns themselves are not a vector space, you have to distinguish between a set S and span(S)
there is more to Col(A) than just the columns of A themselves
I see, how about null space of A?
null space of A is the set of all vectors x satisfying Ax=0
this one lives in R^n as opposed to the col space living in R^m

✅
one more question. for this matrix, the column space always consists of (0,0,0). Is it correct?
well claiming that Col(A) contains only the cols of A and nothing else is, as has been discussed before, very wrong
The question is asking for the column space of A
.
yeah so you would have needed to do some computational work
you would need to find a basis for the col space and either specify it as the span of that or write it longhand in parametric form somehow
the lazy way would be to just write span{the columns} but they probably expect you to do the work to reduce it to a basis
lemme go over rq. I'll leave this channel open
Ig this is the answer?
(1,0,0) (2,0,0) (0,1,0) (3, -1/2, 0)
not quite
the way to get a basis of the column space is:
- find the columns in the RREF with pivots in them
- identify the corresponding columns in the original matrix. those vectors form your basis
I don’t quite get it, the columns in the RREF forms the column vector of A…right?
or should I write exactly like this?
that, or you could column-reduce your matrix instead

Hi
I was wondering someone could check my proofs for question 1a and 1b, slightly confused on 1c
For 1c I think it is not an equivalence relation, I think I have proved it is reflexive and symmetric but not sure about transitivity as i don't think it is guaranteed
@twin olive Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
It's not, but can you construct a counterexample?
I will try now, I realize there exists scenarios in which transitivity does not hold
Are the proofs for the first 2 questions correct?
havent checked yet, i will check it
1a is correct, but perhaps a little too wordy to my taste
Oops
is it really necessarily to dedicate a whole sentence and ton of symbols to say that 2 sets are equal if they have the same elements? Are you supposed to cite every ZF axiom you use?
No I was just writing for my sake, when I submit I will rewrite and cut out all the unnecessary stuff
I'm not sure if I have done 1b correctly think I may have mixed up some deifnition
for 1b, just provide a counterexample
counterexample is the easiest and best disproof you can possibly give
and its also what they asked for
Is my counter example at the end correct
Sorry I did the disproof to make sure I understood everything correctly and intuitively 😭
yes, that works
For the counter example in 1c, do you think i should define p?
Definitely, you have to explain what p does
Because for 1b I let p be arbitrary as I quickly thought of that example, can't seem to do the same for 1c
yeah, in 1b it worked. Im not sure whether you could do sth like that in 1c
its definitely easier to just define p
if you cant figure anything out, try building the smallest possible counterexample
with random elements, not necessariyl the well known sets such as reals or naturals
one neat counterexample i found (and the smallest one there is) has |S| = 4 and |T| = 3
Oh yeah that's actually very nice, I was trying to come up with some weird definition for p and some surjective function in R
that's not necessary, i really like small counterexamples, because they are simple to construct and they capture the essence of why it doesnt work
Yh, it seems much cleaner and easier to understand haha
Thank you very much!

I do no lt understand how to get started
Do you know what degree will f be?
No
okay, say that f is of degree n.
of what degree is f(3x)?
and of what degree is f'(x)? f''(x)?
the point of this is that we may be able to recover degree of f from the equation
f(3x) = f'(x) * f''(x)
since both sides must be of the same degree
f can be the zero function: f(x) = 0
and only one of the options matches with that
that's interesting way to approach it lol
yeah stupid question lmao
n
n
why?
both of them are of degree n?
yeah (n - 1) + (n - 2)
Yea
okay now you know n
Howw
degrees of both sides equal
f'(x) * f''(x) is gonna have this degree
and f'(X) * f''(x) = f(3x)
so they should have the same degree
Yea so they are n-3
hey i asked the same q and u only answered lmao
Yeah, i remember lol
it should be 2n-3
(n-1) + (n-2) = 2n-3
that's the degree of f'(x) * f''(x)
Ohhh right
what about the degree of f(3x)?
2n-3 =n
Coz it will be the same as f(x)
Its jus that the coef changes dehree samee
Degree
can u take that if f(x) is a polynomial?
0 is by defn a polynomial
Yea its 3
(otherwise the function space of polynomials wouldn't have an additive identity)
these kinds of methods help a lot actually
I was amazed when that worked lol
otherwise it's 2 or 3 pages of work
or some shit, maybe not that much
no usually with the kind of exam, theres a trick for every question
now I'd just write down a general 3rd degree polynomial, expand everything and compare the coefficients
Allen kid?
yh
i dont think the 0 trick is intentional, that'd be too good of a trick
Okayyy , 👍

Help is needed by moi.
do you know in general how you can extract the sum of the coefficients of a polynomial
This ain't no polynomial.
it is a polynomial
“Sum of coefficients”
What is its degree?
well deg(f) must be 1999 if the equation is to hold
In general, you can take x=1 to find the sum (I.e., f(1)=sum of coefficients)
hold on actually
yknow what you have a point i think, there's no way any polynomial f(x) exists that satisfies this
conclusion: question is garbage, skip.
Closed by @manic lagoon

I will also ask my teacher.
bruh just find f(1)
assume f(x) is a polynomial eqn
then f(1) gives sum of coeffs
eg f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
f(1)=a+b+c
Can you manually compute the coefficients given enough time? If yes, how? What is its degree? What is the coefficient of the term containing a power of x that is one less than its (the function's) degree?

I'm pretty sure they don't want yout to do all that but lets see
.reopen
✅
f isn't even a polynomial
how do yk?
you can't divide x^2015 by 16x^16 - 11x + 2
so the sum of coefficients doesn't even make sense
it could be some inf polynomial maybe
power series yes
yeah so its possible to find the sum of coeffs in that sense
I don't know power series. What would the first few terms be?
Jesus
,w x^2015/(16x^16 - 11x + 2) power series

PajamaMamaLlama
f(1) is the sum of the coefficients?
We know dude.
ahh I did not see any of the other msgs my bad 😅
I mean the assumption is that f is a polynomial
,w factorize (16x^16-11x+2)
the questionmaker must be very lazy not to check that
,w (16x^16-11x+2)/(x+1)
wouldn't this work(although differentiation seems a bit nasty)
okay let me try on MATLAB
,w (16x^16-11x+2)/(x+1)
arghhh I'm having software issues
wait so if 16x^16 = 11x - 2, then raise both sides to the power of 125 to get constant * x^2000 = (11x - 2)^125
you run it honestly
I forgot how to
That should be the first thing I relearn tbh
to be fair I never learnt this
Desmos seems to tell me it's divisible
there's a turning point around there
so no vertical asymptote it seems

Why do a lot of people take differential calc and linear algebra at the same time during a semester in college
Isn’t that hard
Since it’s two calc
Is linear algebra even calc
It looks like cross product
In some ways but mostly not
Linear Algebra sets you up for the idea of Multivariable, though
(Obviously we can't visualize higher than 3 dimensions, so how come some problems are proved in, say, the 22nd dimension? Linear Algebra answers these kinds of questions)
sad

long shot, but does anyone wanna take a crack on trying this integral with me or seeing if theres an easier way to go about it? I really dont think the problem im doing is supposed to be this bad
Oh no it's the monster integral again
$\int \frac{\dd{\theta}}{k\sin \theta + 1}$
jewels!
This is it right?
It looks like you made it even worse
Yeah it's tan(θ/2) time
You know it's serious when that comes out
(He asked about this question yesterday but went to have another look at it to see if the monster integral could be avoided)
can't avoid monsters in physics
Sadly
The real world doesn't lie down into a convenient setup, even if we make our cows spherical
im gonna cry and throw up in real life
$\sin \theta = \frac{2\tan (\theta /2)}{1 + \tan^2(\theta /2)}$
jewels!
Looks fine
Do you need help proceeding @urban grotto
no im good, thaks for the help. ill give it a shot with this sub
i figured this was the case
Bottom is sec^2(θ/2), which turns it into 2 sin cos
becuse i saw someone mention itin a similar problem on stack exchange
mmm okay

Doesn't (b) imply (c)
I mean trivially
yeah
Cool
Thanks!
Here I just show it's not closed under addition, right
oh wait
The 0 transformation isn't invertible
we're done on those ground alone
it says noninvertible
Yes
in particular the claim is true for dimV = 1
yea, and every subpace needs a. 0 vector
so it contains 0
Well, you want it to not be closed
thanks
yea, so I have to find some other LT
Instead you need A+B invertible and A, B aren’t on they own
sharp on the helper grind
$T_1( \sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_i e_i) = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \alpha_i e_i; T_2(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_i e_i )= a_n e_n$
wai
Now to prove every LT from V -> V when V is 1 D works
It just says to show it doesn’t work for n>1
But you can just list all of those yes
I mean here I think rank-nullity will help?
Yeah

Can somebody help me with 52?
hint: you know an eigenvalue of A
I don't know linear algebra
I'm in highschool
It's matrices
all is see on this page is linear algebra
Well do you know what a characteristic polynomial is
Yes
you know charpoly but you do not know eigenvalues?
The roots of this polynomial are called the eigenvalues

Well , Because it has been taught to us but they didn't tell us anything more than that 🥲
Even the characteristic equation was out of the syllabus , but I still studied it
Well
|A-yI|=0
So this matrix will satisfy
A²-(a+b)A-|A|I=0
Right
How can I proceed from here
rearrange AB = B
a+d not a+b
Oh sorry
not like that, i meant more like AB - B = 0, i.e. (A - I)B = 0
Oh okay
Because I can't really Say |A|≠0 so I can't say that A^-1 even exists so I shouldn't use it
you can say something about |A - I|
I mean lowkey if you know the shortcut for finding the inverse of a 2x2 matrix this isn't that bad
|A-I|=(a-1)(d-1)-bc
I know
Because by symmetry A^-1 = A
Well reverse the diagonal values and take the negative of non diagonal values divide it by |A|
Ha
now use this
Oh shit yes I can use that A^(-1)=A
$AB = B \implies A^{-1}AB = A^{-1}B \implies A^{-1}B = B$
jewels!
that certainly does not imply A = A^-1
That's a good trick
I'll solve with both the methods
I got this
But I can't take determinant both sides
Because det of B is not defined eventually
Well what should I do
if that equation holds for some nonzero B, what does that tell you about A - I?
Is it invertible?
Well it is not invertible
Because if it was
Then B=0
Which is not possible
=0
yep good
so putting it a bit more suggestively, det(A - lambda I) = 0 when lambda = 1
So this is equal to 0
ad-1-(a+d)-bc=0
(a+d)=2021
Given in the question
So ad-bc=2022
Am I right?
Yeah
huh
It's jee
But again , you know you're not supposed to solve this question with linear algebra
But fine
Is it 2022
ad-bc-(a+d)+1=0
this isn't quite right
Oh shi right
should be +1
dont make those silly mistakes
And:2020
costs a lot
Ans*
yep that is right
Without using any of that
Yes it cost 5 marks and 5000 rank 🥲
what did u use
probably using eigenvalues, trace and determinant?
multiply and use it
but OP doesn't know that stuff
Yeah jee expects us to do this way
a+c=1 , b+d=1
💀
Well yeah time pressure is a very influencing factor
and solve
But ofc it's a computer based test so I can use any method
Yeah
Because I have no knowledge of linear algebra and jee is asking me problems from linear algebra and expects me to do it with , basic knowledge of matrices
I did it with basic knowledge lol
Yep
Exactly by guessing right?
Which is what op tryna say
having computational lin alg in your toolkit is very powerful for this type of exams
Yeah but the thing is I also have to prepare it for chemistry and physics too , so don't really have enough time to do so many things 🥲
idk how hard the questions are but u can always make time for some lin alg 

I've only 1 now

I'm reading a proof about a certain property relating to bilinear forms $H$, but I have a more basic question concerning the existence of a basis. In the proof, we have some ordered basis $\beta={v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n}$ for $V$ and an invertible matrix $Q$. Then the authors define $\gamma={w_1,w_2,\ldots,w_n}$, where $$w_j=\sum_{i=1}^nQ_{ij}v_i\quad\text{for }1\leq j\leq n,$$and say that "...since $Q$ is invertible, $\gamma$ is an ordered basis for $V$." Why is this excerpt true?
psie
you can reexpress each v_i in terms of the w's using the entries in Q^-1 as coeffs
and since each v_i is in the span of gamma, by linearity so is all of V

I need help with part iii)
just to confirm, is the answer to part i) 8! and the answer to part ii) 8P4 = 1680
is part threes answer 12P4
nope it's 12C4
the question says "in no particular order"
youd be hard pressed to find a clearer indication than this that the selection is unordered and thus a combination
yeah they are
oh ok
part iv is 8!/(2! x 3!) = 3360, and part v) is 2x6!/3! = 240?
or for part v), is there any need to divide by 3!?
<@&286206848099549185>
Yes you do need to divide it by 3! and it will ultimately be 720/6 = 120 and that is because there are 6 tiles with 3 I's repeating
so part 4 is 3360
but for part 5, i thought dividing was unnescary coz it didnt ask for distinct ways
2x6! is 1440
Well to be honest 2 Ms at start and at end (and they would be the same even if they were interchanged so don't do x2)
so if it were distinct ways, then we would not multiply by 2 and instead divide by 3!
but if its total possible ways, we would multiply by 2 and not divide by 3!
right?
Well I know it might seem hard for you to understand since you are just starting permutations and combinations but you must account for repeated arrangements
We don't multiply by 2 - you only do that if there are two different ways to do something, which isn’t the case here
We divide by 3! - every time you have three I’s, because they are identical and the words would change because there are 3 Is

Find the side lenght of cube ABCDA1B1C1D1 if distance between BD and AC1 is d
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
huh
diagram?
i dont have one sorry
where did u get the q from
your question itself doenst make sense
can u js send the q
if BD = d, then AC1 cant be = d, in a normal cube
or you can just find the side length with BD = d alone
wtf is AC1?
is it just AC?
how can you have a distance between BD and AC?
distance between 2 lines?
perpendicular distance?
Its q10
A1 , B1, C1, D1 are the upper points
AC1 is the diagonal
Yea the distance is perpendicular to both
oh wait AC1 is the line between A and C1?
why does translation not mention anything u named
u asked to find side length but it's asking to find volume?
i will just cube it it reckoned it doesnt matter
its weird, distance from diagonal to side not intersecting it
is d
i see
its perpendicular to both
yeah idk what the question is asking
im just assuming it's probably this?
oh wait
$AC \ne CH$
Flatus
eh ignore the solution but
is the idea that AH = 1 right? cuz i can't wrap my head around the translation
its d not 1
Just consider a cube in the 3d cartesian coordinates having side length l, then use midpoint and distance formula and find l in terms of 1
i told you the translation is weird it is d
we are supposed to express a in terms of d
i dont want to use cordinates nor vectors
Any specific reason for not wanting to use coordinates or vectors?
because we havent gone over them yet
So you wanna do this using basic geometry?
yes
Oof
Coordinates is far simpler
I just tried it using geometry it's just pythagorous used once

no 1st option has <, >, =>, =<
What is the gradient at that point?
its 2xy+a, x^2
Okay
You know that $D_{\vb u} f(x, y) = \grad f(x, y) \cdot \vb u$ right?
jewels!
yess
You can use the definition of the dot product in terms of the cosine
On the right
to establish a bound
since |cos x| <= 1 for real x
Bot?
Oh I lagged
jewels!
ohh the definition you mean cosx= u.v/their magnetidues
jewels!
right right
that makes soo much sense, i wouldve never thought of that
thank youu

what are critical points for this?
Differentiate it.
why do you think t=0 should not be included
btw may i suggest you write your t's with a little hook on the bottom so they are not just tall plus signs
where is 1/0
oh my bad
$f'(t) = 2t - \frac{4t}{t^2+1}$
Ann
when you plug in t=0, where is the 1/0?
my bad, I didn't mean 1/0
basically I solved t^2 + 1 = 0
t = sqrt(-1) which is imaginary
t^2 + 1 = 0 has no real solutions
so I thought u just exclude 0
ohh
don't go finger-pointing at t=0...
lol
regarding x values that make something undefined, is there a situation where I would exclude it?
I recall a situation where the x value we found was undefined and it got excluded
you exclude things that actually cause an 'undefined' to appear somewhere when plugged in.
okay bet, noted
thanks!

not able to find out my mistake..answer is 18 im getting 180
im messing up the units somehow
can you show your work?
why is it 10^(-8) now
centimetre to metre right
no that's coulomb * meter
oh shit 😭
centimeter is with lowercase c, coulomb is uppercase C
Closed by @lunar stirrup
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
well, it cant be centimeter because its a dipole moment
the units wouldnt match up 🤔
yeah my bad i dont focus on units that much and just kind of read it as centimetre

inequation
(x - 3)(x - 2)
but tbh here you don’t need that
it’s a concave up quadratic
clearly not A or C
so.. D?
A
the problem with D is that it seems to have open circles around the equality points
nice one
oh wait i was looking at E
yea D is good
i thought its A, but someone said to me: "Because the roots are -2 and -3, adding them together forms -5 and multiplying them forms 6, but you have to invert the signs, then 2 and 3 become positive, so its D"

Good day, or evening! I have done an exercise for my math exam, and I in fact am not 100% sure have I done it right. This is the exercise in question:
Given the function f(x) = 2/(|x|-1) sketch the graph of the function g(x) = -f(x), and then:
a) Determine the domain and range of the function g
b) Identify the intervals of monotonicity of the function f
c) Check the parity (whether it is even or odd) of the function g
So I would say
a. domain is R{-1,1} and range is R{0}
b. the interval will be growing at (-∞, -1) and (0, 1), it will be getting smaller at (-1, 0) and (1, ∞)
c. the function is even, because f(−x)=f(x) is true
Also here is the picture of the function g(x) (yes it is form an online function drawer program just because I don’t feel like making one in MS Paint)
I am sorry if you can’t understand what I am saying, I have in fact translated this exercise from another language, and I am not really that used to do math in English, therefor mistakes are bound to happened, but I will be more than happy to resolve any misunderstandings.
@smoky sun Has your question been resolved?
does R{-1, 1} = R - {-1, 1}
?
looking at the graph it seems the image is R - ]0, 2] for f (or for g it would be R - [-2, 0[ I guess)
and the domain is R - {-1, 1} for f and g
does monotonicity mean when the function is either strictly increasing or decreasing? The function decreases in ]-infty, -1[ U ]-1, 0] and increases in [0, 1[ U ]1, infty[
to find this out you could inspect the sign of the derivative of f(x)
I have no idea what "parity" means here
probably yes, discord likes to make the backslash invisible
\
R\\{-1,1}
actually this could be more simply put
function decreases when x<0
function increases when x>0
sign(f'(x)) = sign(x)
or I have just simply forgotten to add it xd
ah parity means the function is symmetric about the y-axis?
The graph is made for the g(x), and yeah I think it would make sense for the range to be R{0, 2} there is a gap there
by some searching, the exercise wanted me to check is the function even or odd
what does that even mean?
I've never heard that term to refer to functions before
for me, even is 2k and odd is 2k+1 lol
i guess they wanted me to say both, when it is increasing and decreasing
alright. Although the function is growing when x>0 and decreasing when x<0
i was at your channel, wanted also to confirm 36
so I suppose your b is incorrect?
very good
means I get an additional decimal on my grade 😋
so if i get it right:
a. domain is R{-1,1} and range is R{0, 2}
b. function is growing when x>0 and decreasing when x<0
c. its just fine
the range is wrong
you dont want to only exclude 0 or 2 but the interval
yeah he used a set instead of an interval didn't he
it will never reach 0 but it reaches 2
he put {0, 2} instead of ]0, 2]
so it's half open
I think you should say $\bR\setminus[a, b]$ instead (or something of the like)
;(
a. domain is R - {-1, 1} and range is R - ]0, 2]
b. the function increases when x > 0 and decreases when x < 0
c. [your answer is already correct]

okey okey, i shall do it like that
is this correct?
why not just use a minus symbol, you aren't even saving any characters now lol
it's a slanted minus
wut?
isn't set difference just a negative sign
Using R-(a, b) feels...off
I don't like the notion of subtraction on sets in this manner, it makes sense to use \ for me
well A - B is the set of the elements that belong to A but don't belong to B, right?
^
well anyways, aside from the minor notation disagreements, this is correct?
accidentally wrote R{-1, 1} but meant R - {-1, 1} -- edited to fix that
well increasing/decreasing at x=1 or x=-1 is difficult
well yeah indeed since the function isn't defined there, neither is its derivative lol
still an improvement?
sooo, you suggest to write it down more like this? Or to use the [ ] not { }?
R\]0,2]
i mean technically, you can leave it that way since you defined the domain without -1 and 1 so x > 0 or x < 0 means in this context without 1 or -1
okey
just add spaces:
R\{1} produces R{1}
R \ {1} produces R \ {1}
or R\(0,2] depending on what symbols you were taught to use
R\(a, b) or [a, b] depending on the context
yee
{} means the set! (which of course is not necessarily true when it comes to problems like these)
shouldn't the left side be excludent though since 0 is only obtained at the limits?
wut
instead of [0, 2] it should be ]0, 2] or (0, 2] (depends on your notation preference)
No this is like a general form
yes
Not for this specific problem
aight
pedant's notice: [a, b] is also a set: [a, b] = {x / real x such that a <= x <= b}
although [a, b] contains way more elements than just a and b
an uncontable amount or something I believe cuz it's using the real set
wait
no but the interval is bounded
so that means it's countable???
I have no idea
every interval of real numbers is uncountable
anyways, this should be the correct answer I reckon
might have (a) wrong since idk if it's asking regarding f(x) or g(x)
i counted them all
might have to switch-a-roo ]0, 2] for [-2, 0[
yay, so thanks
oh, a. is asking for g(x)
yeah it is "rather late" would be fair to take a nap, so thanks again for help

can someone help me prove that this set is linearly independent in the vector space of polynomials of degree n?
<@&286206848099549185>
What do you need to prove independence?
@rain pulsar Has your question been resolved?
that the trivial solution is the only solution for the linear combination to equal 0
Also what do you mean by equal to 0? What zero?
(There are many different things in math that are all called zero but are different kinds of zeros)
i guess for the power series to equal 0
We’re in a vector space
There are no power series in a bare vector space
You have no notion of convergence meaning no limits
But close
You’re looking for the zero polynomial
The polynomial p(x) = 0 for all x
where i would start for showing that the linear combination equals the 0 polynomial?
if the only solution to the 0 vector is when all the coefficients are 0?
or if no vector in the set is a linear combination of the other vectors
Let $V$ be a vector space. A subset $B = {v_1, \ldots, v_n} \subseteq V$ is linearly independent if…?
frosst
The words you’re using are exactly correct but we need it in terms of mathematical notation so we can start doing some solving
sorry im not too familiar with latex
That’s okay just type it out as best you can (even without latex) I’ll try to interpret
The only thing you are missing is an implication sign
$\sum_{i=1}^n t_iv_i = 0 \implies t_1 = \ldots = t_n = 0$
frosst
Does that make sense?
so far yes
Okay so sub stuff in
$\sum_{i=0}^n t_i(x-a)^i = 0$
frosst
Show that this equation already implies that all the t_i’s must be 0
For polynomials the usual way is to equate coefficients
But this problem if you try to equate coefficients it looks like very nasty binomial theorem
It might be easier to first prove that {1, x, x², …, xⁿ} is linearly independent
isnt this the standard basis for Pn
so it should be known to be linearly independent
Well you don’t know that until you prove it to be so
And if you already have that as a result you can use then its simple
i think i do in my course
p(x) = 0 for all x iff p(x-a) = 0 for all x and any a
If you can show this then you can show that they are really the same question and quote the result here
where does this come from
That’s what I’m saying you should prove

For question number 58 can somebody suggest any methods which is short , I can find P inverse and multiply with A and finally I can take out the values but it's too lengthy
I don't wanna take that lengthy approach
Any ideas which will not make this that lengthy
$P^{-1}AP - I = P^{-1}(A-I)P$
Ann
$P^{-1}AP - I = P^{-1}AP - P^{-1}IP$
Ann
and factor out P^-1 on the left and P on the right
you can take for granted that P has an inverse

How can i find asintheta from acostheta = 28/√41 in the picture
Cross product
I know cross product
So?
But I am want to be familiar with dot product in this problem
Yes
I have a formula that is acc_net = √[(a_c)² + (a_t)²]
Yes the acc vector given in probelm
In this formula acc net is a vector that is given
If I can use it to find?
Then shouldn't you divide with magnitude of v to get a cos theta
Then what do.i do
First of all
Cuz
Find cos theta
Ac = asin theta and At = acos theta
