@brittle wyvern Has your question been resolved?
no y is our line y = mx + b. This is called the point slope form.
it's another way to figuring out your line

hey I got AB cong CB, and AB cong BC because of bisect, how would I get the angle 3, or 4 to get SSA
i'd still need an angle
U have angle 1 = angle 2
where does it say that tho
exactly and I defined that
if bd bisects abc
then ab = cb
oh my god
i just answered my own quesiton
thank you

I've ran into a problem I don't get. It involves VERY fundamental trig and it's been an issue for quite some time now.
We have a right triangle which has a side of 4 and hypotenuse of 9. I need to find the length of the side I don't know, which funny enough, I already know it's 8.06 thanks to Pythagorean theorum. So what's the problem? Solving it. I decided to solve it in two ways.
The first way is to solve for the angle adjacent to 4 and 9, followed by using the hypotenuse cosine(angle degree) method. As you may have guessed, the angle is merely 90 minute the angle I've already solved, which I work out manually on a calculator anyway to verify I've done everything right up to that point. When I use cosine, to solve the unknown side, I get 6.4. When I use sine to solve for the unknown side, I got 8.53. Will be sending pics in a second.
The goal here is to solve for x using Y and Z, only using pythagorean theorem to verify my method worked.
9^2 = 81
4^2 = 16
81-16 = 65
Now that we have what x SHOULD be, lets work out z and y
The 90 verifies that the angles are likely correct
rounded to the nearest hundredth
Now to solve x using BOTH angles
^ This is my problem. I'm trying to multiply the hypotenuse by cosine and sine to get the answer which is how I was tought.
Halp pease
The reason I used those methods is that I was told sine(Degree) = Unknown side/Hypotenuse and so I could just multiply both sides by the hypotenuse.
Ahh you're right
Also I mixed up the angles for sin and cosine for some reason
@.@
Annoying
Thanks fam

how do you solve the systems of equations 7x+2y=4 and 9x+2y=0 by combining the equations.
Consider 7x+2y=4 as eqn 1 and 9x+2y=0 as eqn 2, then subtract eqn 1 from 2 what do you have...?
x=1/4 and y=-7/8
Not quite
Do like this
9x+2y-7x-2y=0-4
Then the 2y's cnacel out
2x=-4
X=-2
Like this
Get it??

I took various values and the highest I got was 10.44 (at around x=0.13)
You can use derivatives to find local minimum and maximum in that x range
I havent learned calculus yet :/ (and this problem is not from a calc class so the teacher probably wants us to use something easier)
What kind of class is this for?
high level competition math
Oh that makes sense
Well we know that the right expression has a minimum value of 3
And the left expression has a minimum value of 4
No x <= 1
yeah i realized that
u can use framing
what is that?
u start from -1<=x<=1
then U do operations in order to reach the expression u have
first u find a framing for sqrt(58-42x)
[4,10]
yeah
then U find a framing for the expression oj the right side of the plus sign
and u add the minimum values to get the minimum value of the whole thing
but the minimum values wont necessarily occur at the same x
its a problem set from a competition team practice
we do like hmmt, yale mt, princeton mt, et.c
nice
u mean 2,10
ye i graphed and checked, it would be that

Hey 🙂 I have two independent uniform distributions $T_A$ and $T_B$. I'm interested in their sum $$T = T_A + T_B$$
By linearity I have that the expected value $$E(T^2) = E(T_A^2) + 2E(T_A T_B) + E(T_B^2)$$
But is there anything that can be simplified since they're independent ? I'm mostly concerned about $E(T_A T_B)$, I'm not sure how to calculate that

i love to boki
how to prove this without l'hopital since using l'hopital would be circular reasoning
Use the binomial theorem to expand (1 + x)^k
k is not a positive integer
it can be any real number

That's just the definition of x^k at x=1
Do you know the limit definition of derivative?
The are two equivalent forms, but they look different
Specifically the derivative at a point

Yeah but 4.0499999999….

Guys i want help
take the derivative
find root
f(x)=e^x-ax

and then?
i don't know what to do next
Yeah
you would have to solve the last equation XD
I just guessed a = 1 and it works, but I don't know how to find other solutions

Can some tell me where i am going wrong?
Ah dumb mistakes Ty
Can u point out which line and where?
it’s just the definition of an eigenvalue. A-lamba*I will probably make it easier not to make mistakes later on
rather than lambda * I - A
it evaluates to the same thing, but in the latter case you’re negating a whole matrix instead of just the lambdas
Oh my prof has it down as this
i see. it’s the same thing anyways but i do think the other way around is easier to compute
I added +1 to second row to make the values 0
you can’t just add 1
you can add rows together, swap them around, and multiply them by constants
Or divide by constant?
yes that’s the same as multiplication

can i please get help on this
I know 2 ways to solve this kind of problems
One by congruence and the other by induction
Which one is needed?

Let f be a continuous function from R^n to R^n. I want to show that f(A) is closed, where A is some subset, given that A is closed and bounded. Here's what I have so far.
Let $x_0$ be a limit point of $f(A)$ and suppose that $x_0\notin f(A)$.
please request a new nickname
Any hints from here?
@turbid moss Has your question been resolved?
My thoughts would be that being a closed and bounded subset of R^n is equivalent to being compact, and then there's a theorem saying that the image of a compact set by a continuous map is compact, from which you know the image is closed (and also bounded)
Unless the idea is to prove it directly?
yeah, i figured doing it directly would help me prepare better for exams
im trying a new approach by supposing that f(A) is open and my intuition tells me that f^-1(f(A)) is open, so im trying to prove that
and maybe I can get an open covering of A using f^-1(f(A)) and find some contradiction there, idk yet
That would be via the preimage characterisation of continuity, right?
yup
Ah, nice!
I'm probably biased but I feel the proof would end up emulating parts of the other theorems above haha
if thats the case, then so be it, at least i'll have an idea of the theorem's proof before I even read about it

I had a thought question I guess. When using l'hopital's rule, I've only done it on a fraction. But, despite that, could I use it if I had a problem with multiple fractions being added. And if I did, I'd differentiate them all at once or not. Right now I'm assuming it doesn't matter since a limit only need one of the terms, but I realized that on the flip side an indeterminate being an addend probably wouldn't make sense
Can you show an example
Well, you can split them into multiple limits
yeah you can use l'hopital's rule on the problem with multiple fractions

Okay so you said have no clue how to start this right?
kinda
how about trying to get the y and x on each side
That’s already done on the first equation
So if x=3y-5, you can replace x with 3y-5 in 2x+12y=-4
ohh ok
Then, you solve for y and can go back and replace that y value in x=3y-5 to get your x value

hello
,rotate
Ik something’s wrong but can’t find it
I'm not sure what Theorem 3-1 and 1-5 are, and you didn't state a specific theorem for step 4
Yea that’s what I’m stuck on
I can’t tell u what the theorems are
But I’m sure there correct
Also point X kind of came out of nowhere, but the logic seems basically right
Well, how did you know the triangles are congruent?
Uh
I just wrote it
Cuz we know
Bx and cx are congruent meaning the bottom part of the triangle is congruent. then we also know the given which are the sides and how there congruent.
@tacit mulch
Do you know like SAS, SSS, etc
Then, which one can you use to justify the triangles being congruent?
Yep 👍
I might add one more step at the end and actually state that AX is a perpendicular bisector
Just because that's the thing they asked for basically
But yeah the rest looks good, as long as theorems 3-1 and 1-5 are appropriate
Yea
Didnt I already do that tho?
I wrote AX perpendicular to Bc
??
@tacit mulch
That's not the same as perpendicular bisector
It's a perpendicular bisector because its perpendicular and X is the midpoint of BC
You could just say "Definition of perpendicular bisector"
Bruh
It can’t be words I’m pretty sure
Wait I’m confused
So everything I have rn is wrong or right?
@tacit mulch
What do i replace for def of perpendicular bisector
Wdym, you can use definitions
What you have is right, but you didn't actually state that it's a perpendicular bisector
just that it's perpendicular to BC
How do I do that
Is there a symbol for it
Cuz u can’t put words in the statement part
@tacit mulch
It’s like that idk lol
Only for the reasoning I’m pretty sure
Sooo
Should I leave it how it is

Need geometry help. Question incoming:
ABCD is a "Right Trapezoid". the points "B" and "D" are symetrical to the line [AE]
What is Area(ABE) divided by Area(AECD)
from what i understood, we can never ever know the values of AD and BE
so we have to do some kind of magic
Are u given any length side? @naive pilot
Like any side?
Oh I see
You don't need it
a friend of mine said that
we can find "AD" or "BE" thanks to the information that B and D are symetrical to AE cuz it would make it square they said
but i said "no"
because it could also be like this
symetrical, but just not square
oh no length sides
i tried going this
couldnt find the answer
What are u trying to find again
Area(ABE) divided by Area(AECD)
I see
AD and BC are parallels if that helps lol
i even tried assigning X to those edges but still couldnt come up with an answer
it came down to this but i cant make out an answer
no it can't
symmetry means B and D coincide if folded along the line AE
Well angle DAE also has to be 60 as well
in the pic i sent, cant B and D coincide if folded?
And you can continue from there I believe
hmm why is that
no, they don't in a rectangle
The side opposite to it is sqrt(3)
only if it's a square
could you try explaining by drawing? im not really good with math english terms
oh nvm i got what u mean
I believe you speak Turkish yes? I can explain in Turkish since I know a bit
i mean yes the side opposite to it is sqrt3 but that doesnt mean it is 60 degrees
no worries we can continue english as long as it goes lol
hmm that makes sense, how to solve it then assuming its a square? cuz i tried and still couldnt
It does since we also know that angle ADE is a right angle
yes, still working towards it
but maybe it is 45 45 90 then
45 45 90 doesn't give you sqrt (3)
in ADE triangle , there is no edge that is a number
so you can get sqrt 3
We know side DE is sqrt(3), which also happens to be a side of the triangle ADE
you can get this in ADE
doesnt this prove that it doesnt have to be 30 60 90, it can also be 45 45 90
the sqrt(3) in 45 45 90 is only a ratio
but the number sqrt(3) can appear in any kind of triangle
see it doesnt have to be 30 60 90 to be "sqrt3"
ya it's A how did u find it
lead with this
If you are going to say that, then you cannot say anything about triangle DEC then. Saying it has length sqrt(3) and 1 would be wrong
those are ratios and could be correct
Makhana just proved you're wrong as well 💀
consider each side of square to be sqrt3
so it goes like this:
ya
Okay but that's literally what I was trying to suggest?
He just did it directly
then do i just find ABE area
cuz i tried it and it didnt work, maybe i didnt know where to go
yes
is it 3/2
3/2
3/2 + √3/2
this is what i get to
cuz area of "ADEC" is just "ADE" + "DEC" right
√3/2 in place of √3
oh right
ye
yes
im stuck here
hmm yeah but my dumb brain cant still find a way to go to A
how can it get to (3-√3)/2 from there
are u familiar with rationalising the denominator
i dont think so
k lemme explain
im all ears
denominator is √3+1
so we multiply and divide by √3-1
apply a²—b² in denominator
sec im doing it rn
ye ye

First off, why not just use $cos(2\theta) = 1 - 2\sin^2(\theta)$?
chartbit
And why the square root here, at the same time as 29^2?
im using the r^2=sqrt x^2 +y^2 formula
Pythagoras, right? Shouldn't it be either $r^2 = x^2 + y^2$, or $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$, no?
chartbit
ohh shit i see
use cos(2x) formula ._. it's hard otherwise with the plus/minus sign
idk i wasn't taught it with that formula
Looks like how you tried to do it was by using $\cos(2\theta) = \cos^{2}(\theta) - \sin^{2}(\theta)$, no? If so, just recall that $\sin^{2}(\theta) + \cos^{2}(\theta) = 1$, so you can get $\cos(2\theta)$ in terms of only $\sin(\theta)$
chartbit
ok the first part yes... im using that formula... second part is new for me... i did the calculations again and my answer is stil wrong
ill send a pic of my work
answer on the review packet is -41/841
Wait, as in you don't know that $\sin^{2}(\theta) + \cos^{2}(\theta) = 1$? Surely if you know the first part, you would have been taught that at some point?
chartbit
nah bro im telling u I wasn't told abt it
Also what did you do here fam?
wym i did the r=sqrt x^2 + y^2
I was given Y and R from the sin fraction at the start
x should be 20?
Rearrange the former of this $r^2 = x^2 + y^2$ to $x = \sqrt{r^2 - y^2}$
chartbit
ok so it's 8 again.... sqrt 29^2 + 21^2 is first/// but then the ^2 cancels because of the square root... so u can subtract 29 with 21 and u will get 8

Can a countably infinite set contain an uncountably infinite subset?
(Cantor)
I'm looking at Discrete Mathematics with Applications Edition Four - and it sounds like it is impossible
But the book is 2010
I think so
but idk about any of it
im thinking of the example whats bigger, all integers or all numbers between 0 and 1
and 0 and 1 is uncountably infinite
@keen elbow Has your question been resolved?
"Page 435, Theorem 7.4.3 Any subset of any countable set is countable." A representation of the numbers between 0 and 1 is an infinite decimal expansion. The best representation of the composite integers is the canonical form of prime powers. The book goes into Cantor's diagonal argument on an infinite decimal expansion to prove there's a number between 0 and 1 not already enumerated - a proof by contradiction. How is this different from enumerating the subset of all relatively prime numbers to 3 then taking a diagonal of all the prime power exponents and applying a similar mapping to achieve another number relatively prime to 3 that's not already in the enumerated list - a proof by contradiction?
Or create a one-to-one mapping of 2^k to every integer because there are infinitely many powers of 2 that are integers. We will never be able to map another prime power p^k to some integer but there are infinitely many primes . Fundamental theorem of arithmetic guarantees these are all unique. It just feels like Cantor defined a set of rules that would guarantee a paradox to get an infinity bigger than infinity
And the arguments he used can be used to create a similar paradox with the integers just by using the canonical form of integers
Every rational number can be represented as the 2-adic valuation over the 3-adic valuation of some n.
$\frac{\nu_2(n)}{\nu_3(n)}$
Using only 2 prime powers of n gives us "2 degrees of freedom in a sense?" How does the infinitely many primes with the fundamental theorem of arithmetic not allow us to uniquely identify everything?

With Donald Knuth's up-arrow notation - we can bake in recursion within the prime powers as well. Relations can be baked in by numbers having prime factorizations in common. It just seems arbitrary to have a rule like the notion of defining everything between 0 and 1 and then to use a decimal "representation" when I can use a canonical "representation" of integers to prove the same contradiction. Basically, arbitrary rule around representations + trying to talk about infinity seems like you're guaranteed a paradox around representing an element not already in your infinite set

label the point where BC meets the circle
and also where AB meets the circle

Idk where to start 😭
For starters, what is the equation?
can you form one?
Nope im so lost
did you try what I said?
if a,b,c are in AP, then:
2b=a+c
May I ask if a,b,c have to be consecutive, or if that works for any that are in the sequence?
That “in some order” tho 🤔
a,b,c don't have to be consecutive
they have to be in an AP
for the property 2b=a+c
Oh, never knew that, you learn something new every day 🤔
Meant “consecutive” as in they’re consecutive terms in the AP
As in a+nd, a+(n+1)d, a+(n+2)d
In that case I can see why it holds, but not yet in general haha

Derive an algorithm to find maximum k s.t. p^k | n! where p is a prime >1 how are you meant to answer this?
this is a standard theorem..don't remeber the derivation though

check all the obvious factors of n! and how many factors of p they each contribute
This was my interview question and I kind of explained to them that you need to find how many factors of p then p^2 blah blah are in n!
But couldn’t get to the formula
like they said, derive an algorithm
which you apparently did
count factors of p
count factors of p^2
...
Yeah but how can I represent this as a formula?
with some use of floor brackets i guess
so you got asked to derive legendre's formula (ish)

this works
but its probably fine that you didn't get to the actual formula
It’s calm I probably didn’t get it
Another question
I basically got this graph
And they ask how many ways
You can colour the vertices such that no two connected vertices share a colour
If yOu have n colours
look at vertex t
Okay
so what’s the number of colours you need :p
n
but it’s just this graph no?
Wdym
you have n colors but only 5 vertices
so you’re not gonna need more than 5
but can you use less than 5?
4
so can t share a colour with any of the other vertices
Yes
and show a construction
Ah wait but like do we have to consider a lot of cases
no, just any construction
I meant no
ye, so you always need and only need 5 colours
and now it’s a simple combinatorics problem
"simple combinatorics" is an oxymoron
Hm
intuitive combinatorics, i guess?
it’d be funny if i got it wrong though
the way to think about it is to break it down to two parts:
-
knowing we only need 5 colours, how many ways can we select the 5 colours to colours the vertices
-
given we’ve chosen 5 colours, how many ways can we colour the vertices
maybe you can ignore the t for now and consider just a square. if that is f(n) then you just want n*f(n-1)

isn’t square more annoying
ye but i think vertices are distinct
so some missing factors
wdym
for a given set of colours you can permute the colours on the vertices

so for 2 colours on a square you already have 2n(n-1) ways using 2 colours since the first colour can be on either diagonal
is that right?
