then it's p^(x-1) and p being prime
wdym
Uh basically if x has 3 factors
Then it's p^3-1
Which is p²
So like
2
2² = 4 anf 4 = 1x4 and 2x2
Having only 3 factors
And etc
so you want to count the numbers which have an odd number of divisors?
the english translation seems to be a bit wonky.
Yup
Yea lmao
not all numbers with exactly x factors are of the form p^(x-1).
._. Oh
like
I js asked chat gpt for that xd
!nogpt
Please do not trust ChatGPT or similar AI tools for mathematical tasks, as they often generate output which "sounds correct" but has numerous factual or logical errors. Use of these AI tools to answer other people's help questions is strictly against server rules (see #rules).
._.
the number 2^4 * 3^7 has 40 factors but it is certainly not the 39th power of any prime
anyway
thinking about prime factorization won't help much here
try list/count the factors for the numbers from 1→10
and see if you can deduce what's going on
think about it this way: for a natural number n, its factors (incl. 1 and n themselves) can be organized into pairs {d, n/d}
for what numbers does this work cleanly?
or maybe an easier question is, when could this mess up and how?
(this will eventually lead you to find a characterization of those numbers which have an odd number of factors, but patience)
No like is there a method to immediately calculate it
Cus I only get like 2 minutes per question
yes, there is a trick that'll give you the answer almost immediately
consider the above info, to identify the trick/property to use
if you do not know it beforehand then you are cooked
its worth it to try and realise it for yourself (and you'll also be more likely to remember)
rather than us telling you
Ik 💀
._.
Bro it's cus I been trying to figure this out for so long that's why I'm asking here 😭
we are not an instant answer giving machine
Yea no shit 💀
think about it this way: for a natural number n, its factors (incl. 1 and n themselves) can be organized into pairs {d, n/d}
when can this go wrong?
try doing it for some number like 24
write out all the factors and pair them up in the way i described -- and see if you notice anything
Wait what's d
a divisor
to put it another way, the divisors of any natural number n can be arranged into pairs where the product of each pair equals n
So js saying if we want like 6 then it's 6/3 + 6/2 + 6/1 + 6/6 ?
💀 wait no it's supposed to be 4
no you are overthinking it
ok
how about this
can you follow a simple instruction that im about to give you? @glossy root
do exactly what i ask, no more, and no less:
write down a list of all the divisors of the natural number 24.
separate the numbers with commas and write them in order from lowest to highest.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
ok
now try to arrange these divisors into pairs in such a way that the product of each pair is 24.
1 x 24
2 x 12
3 x 8
4 x 6
Yea
ok
now do the same thing but for the number 36 instead.
list out all of its factors and try to pair them up in the same way.
1 x 36
2 x 18
3 x 12
4 x 9
6 x 6
do you notice anything different
Uh there's a 2 increase in total factors?
Or the first 4 pairs first digits are the same
1,2,3,4
well, the number's bigger. it's no surprise it has more factors.
and also 24 and 36 are both divisible by 2, 3 and 4 but this is not relevant to my point
do you notice that the last pair in this is not like the others?
You mean cus it's the same number?
yes
6 cannot pair up with anybody except itself
now answer me this: why did this happen?
what makes 36 different from 24 that causes this lonely divisor to happen?
Cus 36 = 6²
or perhaps even more generally: precisely when do such lonely divisors happen?
And square root of 24 doesn't have an integer solution
Oh wait does this mean we count the square integer which is less then 9999 but more then 1000?
you jumped ahead a bit.
what i wanted you to say is:
"This shit happens when the number we start with is a perfect square, because its square root will be the one factor that pairs with itself."
and yes, we need to count the perfect squares between 1000 and 9999.
😭 had to add "this shit"
Anyways tq for ur help @toxic lichen

Hello, i have to prove whether these groups are isomorphic or not. Can somebody please help me? :
a) (Q, +) and (Q without 0, *)
b) (Reals > 0, *) and (R, +),
c) (R/Z, +) and (S, *)
for a) i've written that (Q, +) has only one element of finite order (0) and (Q without 0, *) has two elements of finite order (1 and -1), so they cannot be isomorphic
for b) i have no idea
and for c) i don't know what S is... I know Sn the symmetric group but i've never seen S
if you have studied precalculus, or otherwise been through high school, then you know a homomorphism between the groups in b
though unfortunately if you dont know what is meant by S in (c) we can't help you either
the logarithm? log(x*y) = log(x) +log(y) it is an homeomorphism and it is also biijective so its an isomorphism
mh okay thanks!
"Verify that (R/Z , +) is isomorphic to (S, *)"
if somebody knows what S is please tell me 
are you sure it's not in your previous lectures or something
yes im sure i've checked
I just had algebraic structures last semester and I don't really remember consistently using S for something, so it's likely its some notation your prof has been using a bunch 🙃
maybe it was a typo ?
my best guess is that it's the unit circle in the complex plane

Rona has a collection of pins. She knows she has fewer than 100 pins. She found that when she put them into piles of 2, there was one left over. When she puts them into piles of 3, again, there was one left over. The same thing happened, when she put them into piles of 4, However, when she put them into piles of 5, there was none left over. How many pins did Rona have?
Emily, Frank, Gary, and Julie have cats that are black, brown, white, or gray. The cats’ names are Buffy, Duffy, Fluffy, and Puffy. Buffy is brown. Emily’s cat, Duffy, is not gray. Frank’s cat is white, but is not named Puffy. The gray cat belongs to Gary. Which cat belongs to each student, and what is its color?
sorry i absolutely dont get it. i just need a simple solution cause this the kind of questions showing up on my 1hr exam. please helpp
i quite get the 2nd question but not the 1st one
first one is
classic
chinese remainder theorem
for n < 100
what the prof taught us is getting the LCM. and i also do not know chinese remainder theorem T-T. i'm not a stem person sorry
assume a number it should be such that if you take one off it should be divisible by 2,3,4 and the number itself should be divisible by 5
i know the LCM of 2 3 4 is 12, so whats next? should i find the next lcm that is divisble by 5?
sooooo is the answer 25? cause the next lcm is 24, and if i add 1 it is 25. is it right?
i'm not sure how it works withoit CRT but are you sure you can verify that no other numbers display the aforementioned property?
im not sure but this is how we're taught. what is your answer on this?
there's a solution via modular arithmetic
which gives a class of solutions
i haven't taken the time to calculate though 
owww that's sounds advanced, i'm not a stem student so the prof says she goes easy on our solutions and problems. i'll probably stick with what i did.
okay sure that works
Emily, Frank, Gary, and Julie have cats that are black, brown, white, or gray. The cats’ names are Buffy, Duffy, Fluffy, and Puffy. Buffy is brown. Emily’s cat, Duffy, is not gray. Frank’s cat is white, but is not named Puffy. The gray cat belongs to Gary. Which cat belongs to each student, and what is its color?
Buffy brown - Julie
Duffy black - Emily
Fluffy white - Frank
Puffy gray - Gary
is this correct?
yes

so when the vectors are in 1 plane then theyre collinear?
they are coplanar they aren't always collinear
hm ok
and when u have 3 vectors
and u gotta check if theyre linear dependent
then you do a overdefined linear system right
to check if theyre linear dependent
ja bruder
du guckst ob nur die triviale lösung oder mehrere lösungen existieren
omg
morgen kurzarbeit
der channel ist jz offen bis 23 uhr
was bedeutet aber komplanar nochmal?
wenn die punkte/vektoren in einer gemeinsamen ebene liegen
und kollinear ist doch dasselbe oder
nein
kollinear heißen zwei vektoren wenn sie vielfache voneinander sind
aber nur weil vektoren koplanar sind, also in einer ebene liegen, sind sie lange nicht kollinear
ja
ok
komme gleich mit der nächsten frage
also
eine geschlossene vektorkette
kannst du die erklären
google es am besten
@daring bay Has your question been resolved?
ok
ich versteh nicht ganz
wie man vektoren zeichnen muss
also hier zb
man zeichnet die punkte erstmal ein oder wie
ja, und dann verbindest du sie
AB heißt ja von A nach B
💀
@daring bay Has your question been resolved?
@rough forge
weist du wie ich hier vorgehen muss
alsoicz
ich weiß das bei einem parallelogram
die seiten 2 mal vorkommen
aber woher soll ich wissen welche vektoren AB oder AD sind
mach dir halt ungefähr eine skizze
@daring bay Has your question been resolved?
18 = 2r-6s-4t
39 = 3r-9s
-6=2r+6s+2t
weißt du was ich falsch gemacht habe
does anyone know what i did wrong
<@&286206848099549185> this is an emergency
What’s the emergency?
do you know what i did wrong solving the system
no no no
thats a different
question
wait
im doing the b) here rn
i did something wrong solving the linear system
idk what tho
Hmm…
yeah
Given the vectors a, b, c and D
a.) Check whether vectors a and b are collinear.
b.) Check whether vector d can be represented as a linear combination of a, b, and c. State this linear combination, if possible.
I’m not sure how to solve this exactly
What have you done so far?
a system
like here
@daring bay I think you need to arrange them by component
So the numbers on Component 1 (The top) are in an equation
Oh wait
You did
Apologies
96 =-36s-6t
huh
yes
OHHH
omg
okay
ok dont leave me
yes ok wait
?
so now we got 120=-48s
but
that seems wrong to
too*
cuz the answer for s is -3
96
0
-18s - 18s
-36s
96 = -36s -6t
Yes
You also have 24 = -12s - 6t, which is correct
why
Why is it correct?
Good job!
Good!
yeah so
s = -3
r = 4
and t = 2
so how can i put this into vector form
like d = ??
how do i write this
d = 4a-3s+2t
Ok
sieht falsch aus
warum aber
ach
du hsat die definition falsch angewendet
du multiplizierst beim skalarprodukt komponentenweise und addierst die sachen auf
also x1 mal x2
und y1 mal y2
ich check
ja
ok ok ok
prüfen sie rechnerisch ob b und c senkrecht auf einander stehen das heißt skalarprodukt = 0 dann senkrecht wenn nicht dann nicht
??
mit norm meinst du die länge
Ja
mal sehen
nurnoch paar sachen dann fertig
Das ist genau das, was ich dir letztes Mal gemalt habe
also
also..
Also berechnen sollte straightfoward sein
versuchs mal
wie fange ich da aber an
naja du gehst mal entlang c dann entlang a und irgendwann b entgegengesetzt
also die hälfte mal c
gehe ich entlang?
okay
so hätte ichs ungefähr gemacht
Ich habe die Vektoren a, b und c gemalt
von b gehe ich nur einen Drittel entgegengesetzt
habe ich nicht festgelegt, sollte auch keine Rolle spielen
die Vektoren im Raum können überall liegen
Der Ursprung ist halt konventionell ein Bezugspunkt
Also wenn man von dir erwartet das 1 : 1 nachzumalen wie in geogebra fände ich das fragwürdig
gehe ich dann direkt von der spitze aus 2 nach unten 3 nach rechts und 2 nach oben
oder wie
vor allem wirds nur noch unkenntlicher das in 3D 1 zu 1 zu versuchen zu malen
also das ist ja heftig
R^3 Vektoren in einer Ebene
vielleicht sieht das nur so aus skull
hä also
Ok anscheinend musst du es echt richtig zeichnen
er hat jz einfach
ja
die du da einfach rein zeichnest
ja
das ist kein meisterwerk, aber es spiegt die Idee wieder
du kannst halt sagen ein kasten entspricht eine einheit
1/2c eingezeichnet habe
dann malst du (-2,0,1)
hä
statt (-4,0,2)
ja
ist ja die hälft
ja
warum ist der hier aber nach oben gegangen
achso
nein
OK warte
WARTE BRUDE
ich habs gleich
wie gesagt ist halt schwierig
aufm blatt
brauchst da schon kunst eine 2+ mindestens
minus und minus *
von dort aus (Spitze) gehst du entlang a
aber dann
also (2,3,-2)
Von (1/2)OC bis (-1/3)OB
jaa
geschlossene vektorkette
ja
ist das jetzt ein law von dir
sonst krieg ich noch nen strafzettel für unterlassene hilfeleistung
hö also
komplanar hat nichts mit lineare abhängigkeit oder basis in r3 zutun?
doch schon
wenn 3 Vektoren koplanar sind dann sind die ja linear abhängig
die liegen ja in einer ebene
also in einem zweiidimensionalen teilraum von R^3
also wenn t, r und s im lgs nicht 0 ist
dann sind sie linear abhängig?
ja
wenn aber das nur die einzige Lösung ist, dann sind x,y und z lin. unabhängig
das ist alles was du wissen musst
also
wenn die skalare = 0 sind
wenn im LGS auch nur die Lösung (0,0,0) existiert, dann impliziert das lineare Unabhängigkeit
wenn du eine weitere/andere Lösung(en) aber im LGS bekommst, dann heißt das sofort lineare abhängigkeit
ja
welche vektoren?
,w rref{{2,4,-2},{0,3,1},{-1,0,5}}
also hast du als lösung nur (0,0,0)
hä
ja aber das ist falsch
nein
das zeigt dass nur die triviale lösung existiert, somit sind die nicht komplanar, weil sie nicht in einer Ebene liegen (sie spannen den gesamten R^3)
ok warte
was zockst du
also
ich hab grad
ja also es ist nicht komplanar
das heißt sie sind linear abhängig?
.
✅ ✅ ✅
jawoll
also guckmal
ich habe
ein überbestimmtes system gehabt
dann gab es ein widerspruch
das heißt nicht komplanar
digga wie merkt man sich das
hö
also komplanar = lineare abhängigkeit
ja im R^3
das würde ich nicht so unterschreiben
im R^2 liegen die Vektoren alle in einer Ebene
trotzdem können manche linear unabhängig sein
z.B. (1,0) und (0,1) liegen in einer Ebene (schon weil die eine Ebene aufspannen) und sind linear unabhängig
koplanar heißt einfach nur, die Vektoren liegen in einer Ebene
im R^3 sind die zwangsläufig abhängig
hä
und eine basis in r3
digga ich kann mir das garnicht bildlich vorstellen
dein Zimmer ist ein R^3
die Kanten an deiner Wand sind die Vektoren
wenn du in eine Ecke guckst
die besteht aus 3 Kanten sozusagen
ja
deine 3 linear unabhängigen Vektoren
ja
ja chill
ja um die uhrzeit
hahahah
was hast du bei der a) gerade gefolgert
linear unabhängig
ES muss eine linear kombination geben für 3
das ist doch gut zu wissen
warte
weil dann erwartest du im LGS eine eindeutige Lösung
nicht ganz, wenn du die Linearkombination gefunden hast
das heißt
wie a, b und c skaliert und addiert werden müssen, dann werden die so liegen, dass der Weg d entsteht
Vektor kette
ja
aber
das ist bei der b)
wenn ich die vektoren aus der a zeichnen würde
dann würden sie irgendwo hinzeigen oder
hahahahhahaah
also guck ma
so könnten deine vektoren iwo im raum liegen
wie wir wissen linear unabhängig
jetzt
exstiert ein vektor d im Raum
ja
jetzt linearkombination heißt nur wie muss ich a,b und c wählen um den gleichen weg zu konstruieren wo mich d auch hin bringt
wenn ich die zsm addiere sieht das so aus
a+b+c
ja
ja
und a und b vielleicht bisschen kleiner
So siehts deine Linearkombination am Ende aus
wir haben a,b und c bisschen runterskaliert
und c entgegengesetzt
ahh
die genauen Zahlen, das überlässt du der Mathematik
das kann man dann auch umformen oder
wenn man zb
also wenn die abhängig sind
und man hat d = …
und dann nach c stellen
und so
meinst du
wenn ich die Vektoren a,b und d habe dass ich dann eine Linearkombination für c finde?
ja
ja klar
aber dings
mathematisch heißt das, die gleichung nach c umformen
wo, erkenne das nicht
im endeffekt heißt das geometrisch
angenommen du gehst entlang c,a und b das waren 3 km
jetzt gehst du d rückwärts also -3km
dann erwartest du ja dass da 0 raus kommt
ja -d meine ich
weil bro guck mal doch
wenn d = a+b+c ist dann ist 0 = -d + (a+b+c) equivalent
jetzt kannst du auch für a+b+c d einsetzten
0 = -d + (a+b+c) equivalent zu 0 = -d + d
das gleichts sich aus
-d + d?
ja
um wie viel uhr ist der test morgen
genau
ok geil stell mir nen wecker um 9:45 nur um dann weiter zu pennen
Was wenn der Lehrer die gleichen Punkte nimmt sie aber anderes bennent
zum Beispiel er vertauscht B mit D
Bro
mach folgendes
berechne AB, BC und AC
das geht in 20sekunden
weill dann gibts zwei situationen
du hast schon zwei parallele seiten
mit einer diagonalen
or gegenüber
ich würde einfach A,B und C im Raum zeichnen
so hätte ich es gemalt
dann hätte ich eine ahnung, okay AC sollte der Vektor diagonal im parallelogram sein
und AD sollte parallel zu BC sein
warum nicht DC?
das spielt keine rolle
danke bro
und
wenn ich überprüfen soll ob sie orthogonal sind
dann wieder skalarprodukt nh
ja
ok letzte frage
Bei A = a * h
woher weiß ich was Vektor a ist
ist es immer im parallelogramm AB?
die fläche
ja
aber wenn da jz zb die höhe gefragt ist
dann tuh ich eif nach A/a = h umstellen oder
wäre a dann AB ?
a ist die Grundseite
ah
also
entweder
ja ok
je nachdem
ich könnte aber auch die obere seite nehmen nh
ja
Also länge von BC oder DA
versuch das wirklich zu skizzieren um wenigstens eine idee zu haben morgen
ja
noch nie gemacht denk eich

Can someone check this i feel like this is wrong
final value is fine,
though in the final step, make the cancellation of the root clearer
(make the cancellation line cut the radical bar as well, not just the 5 on the outside)

so i’m doing implicit differentiation, the question is find d^2y/dx^2 of xe^y=4x^2
i got the first dy/dx as 8x-e^y / xe^y
so for second derivative i’m doing quotient rule but i’m lost at this point
,rcw
oh thanks for fixing the image, sorry about that
Don't worry about it, it happens sometimes 
A bit of a bitch they gave that to you to do it implicitly 
If anything though, in your quotient rule, make use of the fact you know what dy/dx is 
yeah, it's tough
so did i do the first derivative wrong?
no i just simplified it
ahh
(I also reiterate the previous point, use the fact you know what y' is)
did you write this down or something haha, im a little lost how you got that answer
ohhh
i forgot to do that , i see
yeah i understand
yeah yeah, im just writing it down now

@earnest yoke Has your question been resolved?
it has to do with the encrypted message getting mixed up to the secret message, according to the numbers
I've seen a little bit of pattern but this doesn't apply to many letters
In the first one,
u is in the 2nd place and the number in 2nd place is 23
In the result, u is placed in the 23rd place
Similarly with the next a
But I think it might be a coincidence as it doesn't apply for many digits
Not even considering the missing letters

Help
@hoary nacelle Has your question been resolved?
I'm not sure what is happening here, what are you trying to show?
It is because the LHS is a subset of RHS so I thought it would be handy to expand it a bit
also writing \, intersections and unions in a line like that doesn't make a lot of sense. is {x} taken with the intersection of A?
It is more explicit, maybe redundant though
Yes I should make parentheses
Omg I am so dumb
I always make those stupid mistakes 🥲
all you want is to show $(V_\epsilon (x) \backslash {x}) \cap \bar A \ne \emptyset$ right?
rafilou is not not born in 2003
so I'm guessing what you wanted to do is show $(V_\epsilon (x) \backslash {x}) \cap A \subseteq (V_\epsilon (x) \backslash {x}) \cap \bar A$?
rafilou is not not born in 2003
yeah
whenever you want to show a statement such as this one with "subset" chains
I just genuinely feel the explicitness can make things better maybe due to lack of formal math education, usually it made things only worse
your "subset" chain should start with "$(V_\epsilon (x) \backslash {x}) \cap A \subseteq ...$" and should end with "$...\subseteq (V_\epsilon (x) \backslash {x}) \cap \bar A$"
rafilou is not not born in 2003
sometimes laying the grounds for your proof before going into details can help visualize exactly how to formalize it
And another one… I just have sleeping issues I feel I must do abit more curing it 🥲🥲
here, without going into details, you saw that this statement was basically the whole idea
Yes sometimes I felt that way too… because I wanted to make thing clear usually turns to be making thing more complicated
Convoluted or involved
Yes exactly
It’s very hard to find a critical balance to make it even between explicitness and redundancy led confusion… maybe I can only solve this by actually attending math school… and I have always been trying to fix the issue like this
I'm gonna finish talking about this before moving on to the other screenshots
And my notations are really problematic I joke about it often but truth is I almost can’t fix the issues with my notations another by product of not formal being math student
why is the RHS non-empty?
Because X in A means it is already a limit point
Maybe I should just write this instead of that
Yes I should just write that sentence
it's in A and it's a limit point of the closure, but why is it a limit point of A in that case?
Ik it might seem trivial but it doesn't directly come from the definition of a limit point
Since it is the limit point of the closure, then if it is in A then it is not in L, it is a limit point of itself
Or maybe I should say there exist. Y in V(x) cap clA since
why? A and L might not be disjoint
in fact, you're trying to prove that x is in L
Yes that’s correct
I should do it this way correct l, bcs I assumed that if X in A the neighborhood must intersect point that is not x but it leads to gap
I'm just gonna say
So I will say there is y such that y in A and V(x) it follows that y in V(x) cap clA with y=/x
This means y in A immediately follows that x is a limited point
Yes this makes sense
I'm not quite sure about that
Let me just recap what we know and what we want to prove
we know: $x$ is a limit point of $\bar A$. So for all $\epsilon > 0$, $V_\epsilon(x)\setminus {x} \cap \bar A \neq \emptyset$
what we want: for all $\epsilon > 0$, $(V_\epsilon(x)\setminus {x}) \cap A \neq \emptyset$
ok but why is y in A?
it could just so happen that you picked y in L
This is by definition of limit point since we discussed the first case that y is not in L
sorry I find it hard to follow you here
I will write it down 🥰🥰🥰
your first case was that x is in L, and then it was trivial by definition
now your second case is that x is in A
(if you suppose x is not in L then you should arrive at a contradiction, because we want to prove x is in L)
so for now, we have existence of y in that set
but right now we don't know if y is in A or L
Yes that’s the case, my method for showing that y in A is actually wrong
so here I believe you mean intersection with clA and not A
apart from that it's alright
also don't put "epsilon > 0" in the index
I should not just rely on intuition that x is in A then automatically a limit point.. the logic is flowed…
And I always make those flaw sadly 😭😭😭😭
if you want to mention that epsilon > 0, make a statement for it
like "with epsilon > 0" after that
Okay I will note that… 😭😭😭 I really hope I can improve my notation though btw
or "Let epsilon > 0" at the beginning
ok, I think it's much clearer now
but to be completely formal
you need to find an explicit value of "delta small enough"
so that you have what you claim
Sometimes I always forget that, I only remember it when I use exists e_0 >0 such that V_epsilon_0 subsets U, I will only remember in such case which is very very annoying though.. all small details and minor logic flaws
Can I say choose sufficiently small delta?
the problem is right now, we don't know if taking delta smaller and smaller would even work, because it's not that trivial
I'm sure visualizing it can help
but finding an adequate value of delta would help the "credibility" of the proof
Can you teach me how to find explicit value for this case
sure
Because the problem is abstract in formulation
🥰🥰🥰
ok so
the drawing is not the best but
as you can see, if we name d the distance between x and y
in the case that y is "close to the edge" of V_epsilon(x)
we want delta to be small enough so that V_delta(y) is completely inside V_epsilon(x)
to find a nice value, we notice that in the extreme case, d and delta would sum up to epsilon
so we need to pick delta smaller or equal to...?
Delta = epsilon -d
Delta < epsilon -d then it is always within the neighborhood
That’s brilliant
The drawing
Omg the drawing is so brilliant 🥰🥰🥰
I thought this one couldn’t pick explicit value
yeah this value works when y is "close to the edge"
but in any case
I must properly define d right?
won't be too hard
when $\delta \leq \epsilon - d$ we have that $V_\delta(y)\subseteq V_\epsilon(x)$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
but that's not exactly what we want yet
We need to show that there is a z
Such that z is not y or x
That lies within the delta neighborhood subsets the epsilon neighborhood
That means x intersects A closure at point in A that is not x itself
z must not be x indeed
Then by definition X must be the accumulation point then the only if implication is finished
the problem with our current delta
is that, if y is too close to x in the epsilon ball
It might be x
So I should make a range for delta
still using d = distance between x and y
what values of delta > 0 make sure that V_delta(y) doesn't contain x
not quite
removing epsilon - d only doesn't solve the problem
Delta = max {delta , epsilon-d}
delta can't be defined using itself
and I wouldn't advise for the "max"
here's a quick question to reply to that may set you on the correct path
1/2(epsilon-d) to epsilon-d
