Subsitute I and I0
yeah its 2
correct
so 0.3?
Calculate the logarithm of 2: log 2 ≈0.3010
alr, what next?
4.6?
where did 4.6 come from
3.8
is also correct
3.8 is approximately equal to 4.6 Hence, the Richter scale measurement for an earthquake with twice the intensity of a tremor measuring 3.5 is approximately 4.6
but 3.8 and 4.6 are kinda different numbers

yo whatup
lmao im back😂
ok am I trippin but I think theres an error in the solution
question e
answer says .65 but thats the prob of lines 2-4 in use, so it would be 1-.65 for not in use
so 0.35
let me know what you think
actually Im getting both e and f wrong, how would you find probability of not in use
i thought it would just be 1- [prob(in use)]?
Overlap: e.g. at least four lines not being in use means that strictly less than two lines are in use
Wait 
What did they do for f, and how did you do it?
Also @cinder flower 

Yea see the overlap comment - you gotta be a bit careful

how do i integrate sin2x/x
wrt x
indefinite integral?
yes
no elementary antiderivative
wth
hey can you tell me what exactly is elementary so i dont stare at it for long
it's hard to tell
where did u come across this integral of sin2x/x
its not even the question lol i got it while solving some other integral
means theres better method to solve this question
since the way i did it included this
so ill try again i gues
thanks

this is not a power series because it isnt x^n but x^2n
or is it not a power series because the 1/x^n is flipped
ok, since it is flipped it isnt a power series
since you basically divide by it
but would the same series but raised to ^2n instead of -2n be a power series
it's fine for a power series to have a 2n exponent (that's the same as adding only even terms, and letting odd terms be 0), but the negative exponent makes it not a power series
but you should calculate it though
since if the qestuon was (2/n*x)^-2n it would be a wpoer seires
right
yes

Hiiii 
Also for those limits, you may wanna use the fact that sqrt{x^2} = |x|
[and do some factoring!
]
You can as well (that might be better actually
)
i'll try it out but the reason for multiplying with the conjugate, is it because we're dealing with square roots?
ily tyyy
also because too when you do, you also have |x|^2 = x^2, so there are some nice cancellations too 
a) 1/2?
oki so I did it to this point?
$$\frac{x}{|x| + \sqrt{x^2 - x}}$$
nicoco
Yep, perfect 
how should I continue? i get stuck at that part
You can use the fact that as per above, sqrt{x^2} = |x| and consider cases
put the limit +inf hence mod sign already gives + vemod(x) becomes simple x
So then, you can e.g. factor out an |x| in denominator
similarly for -inf limit, mod(x)=-x
mod is sign which depend upon value, if you put +inf means +ve value then there is no meaning of mod,it gives you same mod(x)=x
simple mod(x)={x when x>0 & -x when x<0)
"put +inf" 
You're also wrong for b
why? whats your answer?
,w lim abs(x) - sqrt(x^2 - x), x to -inf
(You're not supposed to give answers in this server, fyi)
But anyways, that's why there's the suggestion to factor and consider cases-
oh yes my mistake i took -x+sqrt(x^2-x) instead of -x-sqrt(x^2-x) in denomentore
Anyways, @obsidian comet 
part (a) is right though
If you write this as
[
\frac{x}{\abs{x} \qty(1 + \sqrt{1 - \frac1x}) }
]
you might be happier with it
@merry carbon
yes i got that
but how are we gettting that to 1/2 afterwards?
Well, let's assume we're taking the limit to infinity, so we're dealing with positive x, and so |x| = x
You then, from that, get that the above turns into $\frac1{1 + \sqrt{1 - \frac1x}}$, What happens as $x$ gets larger and larger to that?
@merry carbon
Yep 
A similar argument for -inf: you have x being quite negative, so |x| = -x, and then algebra and all 
thank u chaaart ilysm

i'm studying last minute for an exam on saturday
i'll be back with more problems soon lmao
Awwww

For this question
My attempt:
$F_y(y) = P(Y \leq y) = P(X^2 \leq y) = P(-\sqrt{Y} \leq X \leq \sqrt{Y}) = P(X \leq \sqrt{Y}) - P(X \leq -sqrt{Y})$
Calc III Victim
$F_X(\sqrt{y}) - F_X(-\sqrt{y})$
Calc III Victim
and then we find the derivative of both sides right
to get
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} f_x(\sqrt{y}) + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} f_x(-\sqrt{y})$
Calc III Victim
after plugging in we get
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} (2(\sqrt{y})e^{-(\sqrt{y})^2}) + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} (2(-\sqrt{y})e^{-(-\sqrt{y})^2})$
Calc III Victim
which should equal to 0 right?
idk what im doing wrong
Isnt this how the CDF technique works?
this is how they did it in class but I thought for the cdf technique we are suppose to get the derivative
but instead they first integrated..?
im not sure why
oh shit wait since it says 0 < x < inf were we suppose to ignore P(X <= -sqrt{y})
meaning in that case we should have ended with
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} (2(\sqrt{y})e^{-(\sqrt{y})^2})$
Calc III Victim
which should = e^-y

hello
hello there
im gonna need a variety of help along my revision , is that okay?
plethora of questions
hey esthesia
here you just ask your questions and pray someone helps
nope
you are a pending post graduate right , how do you spend your time , if you don't mind me asking
i play league and dota 2
hm?
so you don't have a side hustle in the mean time
nope
that's nice
it sure is
<@&286206848099549185>
why are you pinging helpers
where is the question
just ask your question lol
frr
i think he wants company
just go ahead
oh
i thought you only ask one question per channel
u can more
but stay active all the time so the bot wont close it
u can ask anything even 1+1 i asked once and pinged @ Helpers
oops
sry
the limit is one channel per person so dont go hogging all the channels
good
bro worst miss ping ever ☠️
ok they told me stop trolling tbh
dw i also asked dumb questions
i once said if 1/0=0 then im gay
i want to understand the complex
they all went trying to prove it ☠️
but idk where to start
i
sqrt(-1)
close ur ticket
done
nvm
yes but there's a lot to it
fair
what u study
complex
what about it?
for me i self study calculus and study geometry in school
i study geometry at school in arabic and calculus in english
good no geometry questions 👍
trigonometry of complex numbers and argument of a complex number and affix of a point
i'm arabic too
trig sucks
trig + complex = gg
any specific questions?
he still finding
wow amazing book has no examples 👍 @midnight haven
bro gets it
how to find argument of a complex number?
im guessing its in the form of a+bi?
yes

where did the extra ^x go?
they bringout the 1/2 so we r left with
e^-x (1/2)^x inside the sum right
(1/2)^(x+1) = (1/2)*(1/2)^x
e^-x = 1/e^x
how did they transform this to (1/2e)^x

why is this the same
Double angle 2sin(a)cos(a) = sin(2a)
well here
first step you have
cos(a)sin(a)
if 2sin(a)cos(a) = sin(2a)
then whats sin(2a)
yup
yeah so just divide second step by2
bcs sin(x) . cos(x) isn't the same as 2sin(x). cos(x)
2sin(x). cos(x) is just 2 times sin(x) . cos(x)

How would I get the answer to #10?
@hearty burrow
uh
i just dont know how to mf simplify the fractions enough to get to 95pi/6
no simpylifying
in this problem at all
remember arc length is just
s=rθ
where theta is in radians
what is 150 degrees in radians
2850
not quite
uh oh
how did u get 2850
just multiplied theta by radius
so this works
but u just did it wrong
show ur work
what would it be
this works
but i only get decimals dividing theta by 360
faiyrose
$\frac {150}{180} \cdot \cdot \pi \cdot 19$
Propus
which beocmes that
Oh lord
but thats why
i would say
just make theta into radianss first
actually doesnt matter
$\frac {15}{18} \cdot \pi \cdot 19$
Propus
Yes
$\frac {5}{6} \cdot \pi \cdot 19$
Propus
which becomes that
i knew there was something when i got 6 as an answer
$\frac {5pi}{6} \cdot 19$
Propus
which is just 519pi
I see thank you
Wait
is question 12 wrong
Once we turn 3pi/4 into degrees wouldnt it be 135 instead of 180
or do we flip it once we cross out the pi after multiplying 180/pi * 3pi/4
nevermind
wouldnt it be 13pi instead of 39pi/4
So my teacher was wrong
so it was laid out already
i just decided to turn it into degrees
3/4
faiyrose

So I dont understand how to convert this system of linear equations in normal format so I can solve it, I need someone to explain how do i do it. The answer that I put is from chat gpt but I cant trust it since it often gets the answers wrong. So I need to figure out a way how to convert that special system of linear equations into normal format that i can solve
By normal format, you would need to first bring the equations in the form ax+by=c
So first equation becomes 3x-y = 30
And second becomes -3x + 7y = 6
Just Subtract the first equation from the second
To cancel out the x
Then solve for y and use that to solve for x

I equated horizontal components of U(initial speed) and V, the final resultant speed, and got 10=Vcos(40°), so V=10/cos(40°), so vertical component of V=10/cos(40°) * sin(40°)= 10tan(40°). So now use v=u+at for the vertical velocity components
-10tan(40°)=10root(3)-10t, but i’m not getting correct answer
I’m getting t as 2.57 seconds to 3sf
why are you doing 10/cos40 * sin40 may i ask, youre taking a vertical component of a horizontal component
Wdym
10/cos(40°)=V
So vertical component of V=Vsin(40°)=10/cos(40°) * sin(40°)
=10tan(40°)
No, why?
im high as hell (not literally)
Lol, it’s alr

@regal herald anyway im pretty sure the ms is wrong cuz they got the exact same equation as mine till the 2nd last line, only the final answer is wrong

Does anyone understand the part in the yellow box?
I am a bit confused bout the u part
they made a substitution of x = sin(u)
which you can re-arrange to $u = \sin^{-1}(x)$
lgkoo
$\sin^{-1}$ is the inverse of $\sin$
lgkoo
also known as $\arcsin$
lgkoo
surely you've encountered it when doing trig. For example, when doing SOH CAH TOA in a right angle triangle: $\sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$, so $\theta = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \right)$

Can someone explain to me what I’m supposed to do? I’m legit confused and don’t even know if I’m starting off correctly lol
(#6)
Is it specified that's a right triangle? Unless it's right angled you can't do that
yes, its a right triangle, sorry i missed that when copying down the problem
since im using pythagoreon theorem
i know one side is 7m
so can i do (7)^2 + b^2 = b^2 +1?
i just thought of it but idk if that works
(x+1)² = x² + 7²
x+1 is the largest side if 7 is one of it's legs
Solve it, and see if you get integral solution
is x+1 ^ 2 the hypotenuse?
Yes it must be because your question says that 7 is one of the leg of the triangle so hypotenuse could be x or x +1. Since x + 1 is larger so it is it
ok i see
so i did the 7^2 + x^2 = (x+1)^2
then got
49 + x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1
subtracted 1 from each side
subtracted x^2 from each side
got 2x = 48
x = 24

Probability
I'm asked to calculate P(|X_n - C| > epsilon) but I thought we only have bounds for that. Is there an actual method for this? Even to brute force this calculation with programming maybe?
(X_n - sum of n experiments divided by n, C is some constant)
Like that's quite literally Hoeffding's no?

Is anyone able to point me in a direction here? I've been staring at this thing for 2 straight hours and haven't made any headway.
I have to prove the left is a subset of the right.
to prove that one set is a subset of another, show that an arbitrary element of the left set must belong to the right set
if x is an element of (A and B) or (A and C), then either x is in (A and B) or x is in (A and C)
that means that x must be in A
So far I have that if x is in A and B or x is in A or C, then it is in the left.
You need distributive law of Boolean Algebra
and now either x is in A and B or x is in A and C, which means x is either in B or C
notice that this combined with the fact that x must be in A gives you exactly the right set
I have absolutely zero idea what that means.
For any boolean values $x, y, z$, $(x\wedge y)\vee(x\wedge z)=x\wedge(y\vee z)$
SWR
they mean the law that (A and B) or (A and C) = A and (B or C)
I don't think I'm allowed to use that.
okay then use this reasoning
That's the point of the entire proof. To prove that relationship.
Then your "proof" is just going to be wordy handwaving
No. You're proving for sets. I'm using boolean algebra
Idk what boolean algebra means.
it’s like the algebra of logical statements
Algebra of boolean values (true or false)
you can make equivalences between sets and logic
for example, (A intersect B) union C
is the same as (A and B) or C
where those are true/false statements
again, if you don’t want to use the boolean law, then use this
and verbally explain that reasoning
How do I use the boolean law in a proof of that very law?
don’t use the boolean law
It's not that I don't want to, I just don't think I'm allowed to.
use the explanation that i’ve referenced 3+ times now
which doesn’t use the boolean law
Sorry if I'm slow. I've been fighting covid for the past 2 weeks, but this assignment is due today.
$A\cap(B\cup C)={x :x\in A\wedge(x\in B\vee x\in C)}$
SWR
I'm not really anywhere close to being better, but I paid too much tuition to just not do this homework.
for this you really just have to verbally explain your logical reasoning
if x is in (A and B) or (A and C)
then no matter what x is in A
I would go with neil tbh if you know nothing about boolean algebra
and it must be in either B or C
(I personally don't like it, but if you're starting from zero, then a wordy understanding is a good start)
You could also use venn diagrams
So I could say Since x is in A and B, or x is in A and C, x is always in A, so it must be in either B or C to be true?
or truth tables might be the single best way
also a good choice
yes
I was going to do a truth table last night but the last person said that was a horrible idea
a truth table for 3 variables isn’t bad
just 8 cases
and if that truth table lets you prove some super useful generic formula
like the boolean distribution law
totally worth the 8 cases
That was my thought process last night but I was way too delirious to try to argue the point.
sometimes truth tables and formal proofs aren’t necessary
like this reasoning you described should be enough
Idk what's necessary yet. This is the first week of class so I have no idea how thorough my teacher wants me to be.
from what i’ve seen from introductory units on set theory
this is sufficient
the only other “proof” would be the case checking if you haven’t already proven the standard formulas like distributive
agree
I think this is an introductory class, but my counselor said that there is an alarming rate of students failing this class.
Golden moment to say "sounds like a problem with you, teach" 
There's like 6 different professors that teach this class, I guess all the students just struggle with it for some reason.
set theory is when you start to get into truly abstract mathematics.
I personally think it's the prerequisite class that's the problem since the teacher is extremely hand wavy of everything rather than actually getting into the nitty gritty of why things work.
It's a real separator for math-minded people
"why" this works, sadly, is based on topics of boolean algebra, and can be very axiomatic.
I got an 112% in the class which is already concerning, but I looked at this first homework and none of the problems actually seem to make any sense in my brain.
like what?
at this level it's probably sufficient to just describe logical reasoning and rather than prove the logic, rely on the fact that someone reading your solution is logical
For example. My previous teacher said "Images exist. There's ways to do them. Ok onto injections."
bruh
We spent all of half a day doing images, and we never did any actual problems.
yeah quitr a buh moment
So I have no idea what this question is asking.
Do you have a book to read? Assigned chapters?
I do, yeah. I was gonna look at it once I actually got to this question.
bruh
Welcome to college
well the image of a set under a function is the set of all output values produced by taking the elements of the set and evaluating the function at them
The new standard: you read the material before class, and ask questions during
I'm procrastinating that question because it looks scary.
I haven't been in class at all, because I have covid.
I'd love to be asking questions if I could.
for example, if i have a function f(x) = x + 1, and the set A = {1, 2, 3}, then the image f(A) = {2, 3, 4}
I think that makes enough sense in my head to attempt the problem.
Although I have no idea where this E thing is coming from.
That's a fair point. And lame part of life sometimes
Covid has quite messed up my past 2 weeks, but such is life.
in other words, normally you take a single number and plug it into a function to get an output number, but now you can talk about the "image" of a set as plugging in a bunch of inputs and seeing where the outputs go
The image of a function is the set of all of output values of the function
E is what they're calling the set of inputs, i called it A in my example
Find the direct image h(E). Does that mean I take the domain of 0 to 1 and plug it into the composite?
g o f
which is
Does that mean I put g into f, or f into g?
f into g
Oh I was gonna do the other
So h = x^2+4x+4?
yes
lambda-calculus-pilled
And then 0 to 1 would be a little curve from (0,0) to (1,9)?
so now the question is what is all the possible output values when x ranges from 0 to 1
the image is the set of numbers between 4 and 9
Oh yeah
it's not (0,0), it's (0,4)
Is an image a set?
yes
Oh ok that explains a lot.
I wasn't actually sure what an image was so I didn't know how to write an answer.
by the way
So would it be written [4,9]?
you can only do this trick by plugging in the interval endpoints 0 and 1 in certain cases
in this case, since your function is strictly increasing on that interval [0, 1] it's fine
then all the possible y values on that interval must be between h(0) and h(1)
but let's say your function started decreasing on this interval and then increased again
you can't just say the image is between h(0) and h(1)
here's your function, notice on [0, 1] your function is only increasing so all possible outputs on this interval are exactly between h(0) and h(1), but if instead you were looking at the interval from -4 to 0
your function doesn't just take on values between h(-4) and h(0)
alternatively for this problem, I think it might be a little bit clearer to see if you first compute f(E) and then to use that to determine g(f(E)) as opposed to taking the composition first and then considering the image
this would be easier to understand, yes
I'm trying to make sense of what I wrote yesterday for the original proof. Does this make any coherent sense as an entire proof?
it makes sense but your approach is slightly wrong 
I wouldn't be surprised. This entire thing is very confusing.
for the first inclusion, you want to start with x being an element of the LHS
firstly it seems like for those cases you're showing that an element in the right set is a subset of the left set when what you're trying to show is that the left is a subset of the right? secondly your conclusions like "A and (B or C) = (A and B)" don't really make sense since those aren't true statements
the wut now
Can I do the first half the same way I just did the second?
Something like "If x is in A^(B u C), then x is in A and B or A and C"?
You also flipped the second inclusion as well
Wut
you kinda did them both backwards
I just worked on it with these guys
How is the second one backwards? I went from the left to the right
@cedar scarab Has your question been resolved?
I would write this a bit clearer. "By the definition of set equality, $A\cap(B\cup C)=(A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)$ if and only each is a subset of the other", or "... if and only if $A\cap(B\cup C)\subseteq(A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)$ and $(A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)\subseteq A\cap(B\cup C)$"
SWR
@cedar scarab
Let me look at $(A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)\subseteq A\cap(B\cup C)$ first, since it's shorter
SWR
Ok.
This reads kind of awkwardly
If it makes sense, I don't mind awkward at the moment. I'm just trying to get the assignment.
Hard to say if it makes sense. Proofs like this are always so subjective.
To me, yeah, it's fine, I get what you're saying
But if I wanted to a be a prick about it, I could say "but why must this be true? x is in A, so it must also be in B and C? Why? That's not even valid."
Here's how I would format it: If $x\in (A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)$, then blah blah blah, therefore, it must be that $x\in A$. At the same time, if $x\in (A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)$, then blah blah blah, so $x\in B\cup C$ also. Thus, $(A\cap B)\cup (A\cup C)\subseteq A\cap(B\cup C)$.
SWR
What is the second blah blah blah here in regard to the B u C?
The first part is you showing that x is in A, and the second part is showing that x is in union of B and C. Once you you've shown both, it must be that x is in the intersection of these sets
So Since x in the union of B and C, it must be in one of them?
yeah
Gotcha.

Anyone able to explain this
so do you know the formulas for this?
Then can you tell them to me?
Do you know the meaning of ratio?
Like the difference
No
Idk then
it means the the relationship between two groups or amounts that expresses how much bigger one is than the other
basically the division
Alright from there what do we do
so we do
volume of cone/volume of cylinder
Then what?
$\frac{Vol^m_{cone}}{Vol^m_{cylinder}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot B\cdot h}{ B\cdot h}$
Pro_Hecker
Yeah
Alright
You're right it's cuz 1/3 in the formula of cone

Hello.
This might sound obvious but I got doubty.
How many even three-digit natural numbers (in base 10) have all their digits distinct from each other?
There are only 4 cases to analyze, right?
which would be 
a) n1, and n2 even b)n1 even n2 odd, c) n1, odd n2 even d) n1, n2 odd
I suppose you could answer it like that
4 * 4 * 3 + 4 * 5 * 4 + 5 * 5 * 4 + 5 * 4 * 5 = 328
The answer is 9x9x8 right?
even numbers
,calc 959
,w 9×5×9

No way, i only counted 328
You're missing stuff
wouldnt it be 360
Like what, i literally put all the cases
what are "n1" and "n2"?
n1, n2 and n3
digit 1, digit 2 even
You got 4 * 4 * 3,
you have 5 options for digit 3, then 4 options fot digit 3 then 3 options for digit 2
no
8 middle one
That looks incorrect
They are different
,calc 958
Result:
360
you have to account for an even number being used in the first two digits, right?
the first two digits can be even asw?
Middle one 8 mistake
what about it looks incorrect
Ahh true
The digits are different
casework: when the units digit is 0 and when it is an even number other than 0
for the first its clearly 9*8
.
for the second n3 can be 4 things, n1 can be 8 things and n2 can be 8 things
That is the correct and final answer I think
You need to use permutations
n1 = 2, 4, 6, 8; n2 = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8; n2!=n1; n3 = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8; n3!=n1 and n3!=n2
That is 4 * 4 * 3 =48
I took multiple cases, in each case the last digit is a different even number
I took an easier approach
I am using discrete maths
Now you say I am right with 328 but she says i am wrong
It's correct
So my approach with 4 cases was enough
This is how I took my cases
The digit at the end is a different even number in each case
There are a total of 10 digits
In the first case, the left most digit cannot be 0 as it has to be a three digit number
And it can't be 2 either cuz repetions are not allowed
Exactly
So 8 possibilities, and for the middle digit , 0 is allowed but we have already used a digit for the left most digit so still 8 possibilities
The only difference is in the last case
As 0 is the last digit
So you get 9 possibilities for the left most
And 8 for the middle
Yours is the right answer if you ask me
Yeah, no worries

what formula do you have linking x and y
you can make x or y the subject, sub, differentiate then etc, at least thats one way
did you implicitly differentiate the circle equation?
that wouldn’t give you what you’re looking for
since it wants the max of x+y not the max of the circle
the upper point
not really what we’re looking for
and you would probably get two critical points as well
one for the min and one for the max
Ohh the upper and lower point
Ok so for this question how do I do it?
Is it partial differentiation
^
lagrange multipliers could work too
Differentiate this?

Whats the derivative of tanx?
why you taking u sub of tanx?
sec^2x
So why not just put u = tanx?
Its possible
Okay
The prime mistake you made was that you didn't change the limits of integral on substitution
Other than that your substitution was also incorrect
u = secx
du = secxtanxdx
So the integral would become just udu
With changed limits
When you do substitution, you need to eliminate x completely
And change the limits
Do these both, get the answer

I need some assistance with this question.
My book doesn't really reference explicit bijections specifically, so I am not sure what the question is asking for.
Is this asking me to find a function where, given a domain of (a,b), I need to find a function that yields a codomain of (0,1)?
Range (0,1) not codomain
But yes
Gotcha. Is there like a good way to do it, or do I just need to explore asymptotic functions?
If you think about what the question asks is if (a,b) same length as (0,1) you just need your function to shift (a,b) to (0,1). If not same length you also need a scaling
So a function on the form c+d * x does that
c+d*x like a linear function?
Yep
So to go from 0 to 1 from a to b, it would be something like $y=\frac{b}{a}x$?
Narutoes
If (a,b) same length as (0,1) so say (2,3) what would it be?
@cedar scarab Has your question been resolved?
It would be 1, but if I specify a y-intercept of 0, then it would span 0,1 no?
What is the exact function that does it?
