then there are no surjective functions
i see because then its not a function

we cant have two different output for same input
sure
ok
anyways by this analysis of yours we conclude that we are talking about bijective functions
yes, any surjective function here is bijective
ok about the conditions
(as an aside, you have surjective function between two sets of the same size so it has to be injective)
one thing i wanted to mention is that if you look at outputs here, they look like a permutation of 1234. the permutation 1432. every bijection corresponds to a permutation in this way
so you can kinda just remove all the function language from the problem and just view it as counting permutations of 12345678 with some constraints
which i would personally find easier
how
how what?
4 x 4 x 6!
the order matters
how to translate the problem
4 choices of odd 4 choices of even
we want to count permutations of 12345678 for which
- the first two numbers sum to an odd number
- the 3rd number is less than the 4th
- the 4th number is less than the 5th
, w 446!
what is this a calculation of?
how
nothing, it is a brain fart
by this correspondence here (well that was for 4 element sets but same idea)
the problem is the consecutive numbers
the what
the 2 and 3 conditions
are you saying it’s a problem as in you don’t know how to work with it, or that you don’t agree this is a correct reframing of the problem?
former
well the positions 3,4,5 need to be assigned three numbers. and once you choose the three that will go there, there is only one possible order to put them in
and for any three numbers, you can assign them there, in consecutive order
once you fix positions 1 and 2 and you have 6 numbers left, you can choose any 3 of them to go in positions 3,4,5

help me
Try drawing a free body diagram
And break all the forces in their x-y components
Show me ur work
@ancient mauve Has your question been resolved?
i know but do i look at it as a system or just one block
How does the system accelerate and how does the 25 kg block accelerate? That should tell you whether to consider the system or one block
they accelerate the same
So, system or one block?
Hint: also consider external forces acting on the system VS the block

I'm interested in how I'd find $E\left(X_1^2(1-X_2)^3\right)$
wai
Like when you find the pdfs you find X_1 and X_2 are indepndent
but that's about it
Like what I've been able to come up with is
$E(X_1^2(1-X_2^3-3X_2+3X_2^2))$
wai
the issue is then finding $E(X_2^3)$ quickly ( without explicitly finding the 3rd moment of $X_2^3$. And ofcourse this asumes $X_1^2$ and $X_2^3$ are indepndent, which I doubt
wai
on the right track
indep of x1 and x2 imply transformations are als indep
so their squared and cubed are indep
as for a quick calculation
ah
well
you just gotta calc it i think
I just have to bite the bullet there I suppose
indeed
sorry twin

Renato
what have you tried?
I dont know
this is a counting problem yh?
one way of counting jumps out at me as maybe being faster / doable
care to elaborate?
i was hoping you'd have at least some ideas 😭
|A| = |A n B| + |A n B'|
Because "not injective" is awkward to count on its own, I feel.
I see
what does A represent
what does B represent
B is injective?
these are sets
this was meant to be my hint for how I think it might be faster to count, that you might try
the functions with that domain/codomain which are injective, sure.
what is A
you have 2 conditions here
if the universal set is all functions with that domain and codomain
one condition is the functions which satisfy f1 < f3 < f5
the other condition is the functions which satisfy not injective
i'm suggesting you let A be the functions which satisfy f1 < f3 < f5
B be the functions which satisfy injectivity
and then counting these 3 sets may turn out to be doable
well, A is "functions f:{1,...,10}->{1,...,12} such that f(1) < f(3) < f(5)"
Let's start by choosing f(1), f(3) and f(5) for those
12 x 11 x 10
not exactly
that would imply choosing f(1), f(3) different from f(1), and f(5) different from the other two
so they are 2 by 2 distinct, but that doesn't tell you if the inequality chain is verified
Start by choosing 3 distinct numbers, without saying which one is f(1), which one is f(3) and so on
How many ways are there to choose 3 distinct numbers among {1,...,12} (without ordering them)?
i'd also point out if you're struggling to count these.
You can try a toy example like
f : {1, 2, 3} > {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
and then have the condition be just
f1 < f2
for example
12 x 11 x 10
that's not it
choosing without ordering means choosing a subset of 3 elements
not a list
if this was {1, 2, 3} and we were choosing 2 distinct numbers you would be answering 3 x 2
What are the 6 pairs you think we can choose here?
I reckon there are only 3.
3x2 = 6 would be with ordering.
(1, 2)
(2, 1)
(2, 3)
(3, 2)
(1, 3)
(3, 1)
3 x 3 x 2 x 1
?
what does each number mean here
well
for the triples
(3,2,1)
(3,1,2)
(2,1,3)
(2,3,1)
(1,2,3)
(1,3,2)
3 x 2 x 1 x 2
there's miscomms
How many ways are there to choose 3 distinct numbers among {1,...,12} (without ordering them)?
there are 2 questions you could be answering here
this one
or this one
ok
12 x 11 x 10 x 2
no
where does the extra 2 come from now
with order is counting the tuples of 3 elements (without any element repeated)
without order is counting the sets of 3 elements
Your previous logic was:
"I choose the first number, then the second, then the third"
And that gave you 12 * 11 * 10
(1, 9, 3) is distinct from (9, 1, 3)
{1, 9, 3} is the same as {9, 1, 3}
your first answer of 12 x 11 x 10 is counting the tuples of 3 elements (without any element repeated)
I need help
That's what we're trying to do
what's wrong with that
When I ask you to give me distinct numbers without ordering them
And you do this
"I choose the first number, then the second, then the third"
Can you understand that something is wrong with the way you're doing it?
no, it's worse
but you said distinct
I did
that's not my problem
When I ask you to give me distinct numbers without ordering them
This is my problem
I'm asking you to pick numbers without ordering them, and what you do is "pick the first, then the second, then the third"
you're ordering them when I'm asking you not to
thus overcounting
because for any triple {a,b,c}
there are 6 orderings possible (= 3!)
abc
acb
bac
bca
cab
cba
you're now overcounting by a factor of 6 * 6
how do you know
that 12 x 11 x 10 is overcounting by 6

because of what I just said
I want you to pick a subset {a,b,c} of 3 distinct numbers
And you're actually counting that subset 6 times
because you decided to count them with ordering
when I asked them unordered
I see
this is what other helper was saying
in permutation you are counting tuples
in combinations you are counting sets
so if order doesn't matter I am counting the same set 6 times already
it is for the reason of this confusion I avoid names like 'permutation' and 'combination', but rather refer to them as "order matters" or "order doesn't matter"
and then make sure I am not confusing myself with small toy examples of 3 to 4 elements
Well now we can go back to this
12 * 11 * 10 is counting 6 times the number of ways to choose {a,b,c} unordered from {1,...,12}
so the actual number of ways to choose {a,b,c} unordered is ...?
12 x 11 x 10 / 6
also please ping me
if replying
to be precise, it is 12 x 11 x 10 / (3 x 2 x 1)
or even
12C3 = 12! / (9! x 3!)
well, A is "functions f:{1,...,10}->{1,...,12} such that f(1) < f(3) < f(5)"
Let's start by choosing f(1), f(3) and f(5) for those
so that is the number of ways we can choose {f1, f3, f5}
and since order doesn't matter
we just simply put them in ascending order to get the inequality sign, as desired
does that make sense?
eg. we have {10, 5, 11}
that means we've chosen
f(1) = 5
f(3) = 10
f(5) = 11
the next step is given we fix f1, f3, f5, how many functions are there? So choose where the other numbers in the domain go
^
(i might not be here later)
@stoic imp Has your question been resolved?
@stoic imp we chose f(1), f(3), f(5) (and there are 12 * 11 * 10/6 ways to do so)
How many ways are there to choose the other images
(Number of ways to choose f(2)) = ...
(Number of ways to choose f(4)) = ...
etc
7 numbers
from the 10 numbers from the domain
we are fixing 3
7 are left
wait what
f is injective or not
We were here. So f need not be injective
You can therefore map the other 7 numbers to any of the 12
yes
12 x 11 x 10 /6
please ping if you are replying
12 x 11 x 10 /6 x 12^7
ok
next.
The next step is to find the functions which satisfy f1 f3 f5 AND are injective. Which means choosing f1 f3 f5 the same way as before, but choosing the images of the other 7 numbers differently.
(since f1 < f3 < f5, the same method of choosing them as before will satisfy injectivity, thankfully)
|A| - |A n B| = |A n B'|
Yes this is now A n B
this is A
which one is which
this is A n B
A = {functions with f1 < f3 < f5}
B = {injective functions}
A n B is therefore {injective functions with f1 < f3 < f5}
make sense?
ok
|A| = 12 x 11 x 10 / 6 x 12^7
(12 x 11 x 10 / 6) choose f1 f3 f5 order doesnt matter
aka choosing the set {f1 f3 f5} which must be 3 distinct elements
12^7 is choosing f2 f4 f6 f7 f8 f9 f10 (which need not be distinct)
=====
So for A n B you can choose {f1 f3 f5} the same way as before
but u have to choose the others differently in order to satisfy injectivity
but we do care about the order or not
do not care = doesnt matter

{f1, f3, f5} is a set of 3 elements
it is only in this way we can count the triples which satisfy f1 < f3 < f5
If our set is {5, 2, 4} this uniquely determines what f1 f3 f5 must be
(aka theres a bijection between the assignment, make sense?)
there's a bijection because of the strict inequalities
{5, 2, 4} corresponds uniquely to the assignment
f1 = 2
f3 = 4
f5 = 5
it is the same assignment we d give to {2, 4, 5}
that is why we count with order not mattering
ok
ok
I get A now...
what about AnB
A n B is therefore {injective functions with f1 < f3 < f5}
Do you agree choosing f1 f3 f5 in the same way as we did before makes sense?
then the challenge is to choose f2 f4 f6 f7 f8 f9 f10
choose these 7 so we have injectivity.
explain 9! / 2
oh its 9! / 2! ?
sounds right, ill think about it for a bit
yeah i agree
(12 x 11 x 10 / 6) x ?
before the wildcard "?" is just addressing f(1) < f(2) < f(3)
then, if we need injective functions we already used 3 of the 12 spots, (12-3=9), (bijection because of strict inequalities)
furthermore, we got 9 spots left for the outputs, however our domain has only cardinality 10, and we used 3 spots, we have 7 spots more
9! / 2!
So fully, i would write
$\frac{12!}{9!3!}\frac{9!}{2!}$
And finally, i think u can address the original question, with this.
So the first keypoint was considering the common counting technique which is complements
You do this when you think the complement is maybe easier to count
(in this case, i feel it very much is)
|A| = 12 x 11 x 10 / 6 x 12^7
|AnB| = 12 x 11 x 10 / 6 x 9! / 2
|AnB^c| = 12 x 11 x 10 / 6 x 12^7 - 12 x 11 x 10 / 6 x 9! / 2
,w 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 12^7 - 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 9! / 2
i appreciate the help shuwi
counting is hard
,w 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 12^7 - 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 9! / 2 = 12^7 * 12 C 3 - 12 C 3 * 9!/2!
,w 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 12^7 - 12 * 11 * 10 / 6 * 9! / 2 = 12^7 * 220 - 220 * 9!/2!

Lowk yes
both
Some what ig 🥲
I never understand completely
That's why I'm struggle rn
I was doing my 101 side quests
xD
Go ahead
AB is a vector and AC is one too
Wait can you give me like 2 minutes I put my noodles into the microwave
I'm so sorry
sure
I feel super bad but it's gonna get burnt
nah its np
@ancient slate
so AB and AC are vectors
Hmm
We get BC by adding BA and AC
That's why it's given as column vector yah?
BA is -AB
I don't understand this part
mhm
Yes
ok wait
Ok
adding together 2 vectors are just putting one to the end of another
in this case
AB + BC = AC
But not this
Wait let me look at this for like 2 minutes maybe I'll get it
sure
Or any shape ?
idk what you mean
Ya I'm just now learning basics of vector 🥲🥲🥲
Like AB+BC=AC
same here AB + BC + CD = AD
Oh wait
Okk makes sense I think
Makes sense
Is it like the small sides added up is the big side or I'm I saying a bunch of bs
I feel like I'm one of those people that's really frustrating to teach maths to
thats not true
like look there
I'm looking
I feel like I kinda got it for triangle but any other quad I don't think I'll do it properly
You get what I mean 😭😭
Ok
Yes ?
I know I think
(-2,-7 ) column vector is BA
And then AC IS 10,11
Column vector
then we can write them in so $-\binom{2}{7}+\binom{10}{11}$
Roy
that is $\binom{-2+10}{-7+11}$
Roy
Yes
so a is good
I want to learn how to use latex
Hmm
lets do one thing at time
Yes sorry I'll try to focus on one thing at a time
Continue
do you understand or not
Yes
ok now lets prove ABE is straight line
for ABE to be a straight line BE should be the multiple of AB
Yes this makes sense
But why can I not do B -BE
Will that make E Like negative
we want to know BE because we know E
Roy
which is a multiple of $\binom{2}{7}$
Roy
no
No ?
$\binom{58}{203} = 29 * \binom{2}{7}$
Roy
Where did we get 29 from 😕
we just know
Wdym
because $\binom{58}{203} / \binom{2}{7} = 29$
Roy
Isn't this what I said tho
oh idk
i might have misunderstood
no because the question was to prove
What else should I do
we proved it
here is the full proof.
B + BE = E
BE = E - B = $\binom{58}{203}$
AB = $\binom{2}{7}$
$\binom{58}{203}$ = 29 * $\binom{2}{7}$ --> BE = 29*AB

heya people so i dont understand how we are getting our delta... more precicely how are we getting our
constant to bound x^2+x+1
which line specifically ?
"getting out delta" is vague
getting the delta* misstyped it
so it says let delta = min {1, eplsion/7}
how did we come to this conclusion?
they got delta by doing these steps and working backwards
a similar problem worked out here with more explanation:
https://www.milefoot.com/math/calculus/limits/DeltaEpsilonProofs03.htm
even in that example where did the 5 spawn in from?
there's 2 examples which one are you reading
second, non linear
because x is approaching 5
ohhhhh okay okay

Hello
I have a question
Regarding equations of planes
Say you have an equation of a plane such as 2x+3y-z6 = 9
You know that the normal vector would be <2,3,-6>
Now you’re left off with <x,y,z> as the other arbitrary vectors
So now all together we have <2,3,-6> dot <x,y,z> = 9??
But then it can’t be 9 if they must be orthogonal
It has to be 0
<x,y,z> isn't generally a vector in the plane, so <2,3,-6> doesn't have to be orthogonal to it
But the equation is equal to 9 which I’m assuming implies that the dot product of those two is equal to 9 which doesn’t entail orthogonality
but you can rewrite the plane equation in the form <2,3,-6> . <x-x0, y-y0, z-z0> = 0, where (x0, y0, z0) is a point in the plane
so <x-x0, y-y0, z-z0> is a vector parallel to the plane, and you get that it's orthogonal to the normal vector
Yes but it’s equal to 9 tho
what is equal to 9
yes?
see this
Doesn’t that imply they contracted the dot product = 9 rather than 0
i don't think you have read anything i wrote above
I did bro
I’m just wondering how we can make it equal to 9
what is "it"?
This
first find a point on the plane
If the equation is equal to 9, then that ⇒ they set the dot product equal to 9
Right ?
for example (6,1,1) is a point on the plane
thus <2,3,-6> . <6,1,1> = 9
so you can write:
<2,3,-6> . <x,y,z> = <2,3,-6> . <6,1,1>
or equivalently
<2,3,-6> . (<x,y,z> - <6,1,1>) = 0
or
<2,3,-6> . <x-6, y-1, z-1> = 0
the vector <x-6, y-1, z-1> is an arbitrary vector parallel to the plane
and it is orthogonal to <2,3,-6> as desired
So then
= <2,3,-6> dot <x-6,y-1,z-1> = 0
= 2x-12 + 3y-3 -6z +6 = 0
⇒ 2x + 3y -6z = 9
Ohhhh
yep!
So it’s all about where your origin is right
right exactly
<x,y,z> has its origin at <0,0,0> so it's not parallel to the plane (unless the plane passes through the origin)
whereas <x - x0, y - y0, z - z0> has its origin at <x0, y0, z0>, so if you choose the latter to be any point in the plane you're good

im stuck with a task, it says create a graph like this
but it doesnt say what the graph is
how can i know what the function of this graph is?
🤔
can you show the full question
this looks like a right vs left riemann sum
it never says you need to graph any particular function?
it just says any generic strictly decreasing function?
its a rough sketch
it doesn't ask to plot points or anything
it says create a figure
ok and?
similar to the one in example 4
in this example they did any strictly increasing one
so just draw one that strictly decreases
yes how do i do that
why?
well of course it needs to be a function
do you know a function that can work?
you have to do this in geogebra?
yes
you don't know any decreasing functions?
do you know any increasing functions?
if you do, then just negate it
i dont know any in my head
how about something easy like an exponential
why are you complicating it with other things
just do something of the form b^-x
,w plot 2^-x

for part a you took the starting position of the projectile as (0,0) yes?
yes
ok then the distance from the thrower is sqrt(x^2+y^2)
find d/dx (x^2+y^2) in terms of theta and try to figure out a condition to make it always positive
Is it fine to assume the parabolic path of projectile to be straight to say sqrt(x^2+y^2) by Pythagoras theorem
we are not assuming anything to be straight
dr/dx = 2vcos(theta)*t
"distance to the thrower" is the straight line distance from (0,0) to (x,y) only, trajectory does not matter
it does not mean distance traveled
sure
dr/dx = 2vcos(theta) * t
this is positive when theta is positive and it is in the 4th quadrant
this looks suspicious
can you show me what you got for r itself
r = x^2 + y^2
dr/dx = 2x
and from previous part x = vcos(theta) * t
incorrect
dr/dx = 2x + 2y dy/dx
oops i forgot we are considering y in our function
and what was y(x)?
ok good. work out dy/dx for this
then put into this
while differentiation of y(x) i am not able to identify which varible like x , theta is constant and which one is to be differentitate
dy/dx
dy/dx = tan(theta) - gx/vcos^2(theta)
why did v^2 become v?
anyway i guess you will have some kind of cubic with no constant term (if my foresight is correct)
so you can divide it by x then painstakingly work out the discriminant
maybe easier to do like y=Ax-Bx^2 and work out dr/dx in that way
dy/dx = theta(theta) - (g/(2v^2cos^2(theta)) (2x)
simplifying
dy/dx = tan(theta) - gx/[v^2 cos^2(theta]

How do I use integration by parts in this
But how is the integral of lnx xlnx -x
I dk how to integrate lnx sorry
Isn't that the differentiation
Yeah ik we get x^-4 and lnx
,w integrate lnx
That's the integrate
But how did we get that value: xlnx - x
Reverse chain rule states ∫u dx = ux - ∫x dx
If we take u=lnx
xlnx - (x²/2) should be the ans
Wait no
It's du
How do you ∫ x d(lnx)
not with this lack of brackets please 😭 😭
You can compute the integral of ln(x) itself using integration by parts.
Now in this case however, you don’t need to compute it as it’s the wrong choice of u and dv.
You want to pick u and dv such that it overall gets simpler when you compute du/dx or int(dv), and in particular differentiating ln(x) gets simpler than integrating it.
Why is the choice or u and dv wrong
Isn't that how we define the reverse chain rule
u=lnx and v=x
I mean choosing u = 1/x^4 and dv =ln(x) dx is wrong (and would require you to compute the integral of dv, aka ln(x)
No but I integrated x^(-4) separately that was easy
What i don't get is when applying the reverse chain rule to lnx I can't get the desired integrated value
Instead I have to solve stuff like ∫x d(lnx)
If u = ln(x) you have du = dx/x
Oh
But still
How do you integrate x with respect to d(x/x)
If u=lnx du= dx/x then uv - ∫v du —> xlnx -∫ x dx/x
Azyrashacorki
Again I'm not totally following here because while this is how you would usually show that $\int \ln(x) dx = x\ln(x) - x + C$ and this is a useful thing to know how to do, your original problem doesn't require you to integrate $\ln(x)$ at any point.
Azyrashacorki
And the fact that you mentioned you "integrated x^(-4) separately" and are now integrating ln(x) on its own makes me think something went wrong along the way, so it would be helpful to see what you've done so far working on the problem.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1776315/intermediate-value-for-derivative-apostol-text. I am having trouble seeing how we can be sure that k will take every value from a to b. Wouldn't that only work is k = x everytime?
Is your query about the asnwer posted to that question?
No. It is about the photo in the question
f' takes on every value from a to b because g takes on every value from a to b and g(x) = f'(k) for some k
sorry (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a) not b
Yes but for f' to take it for every value in (a,b) don't we need it to work for all k in (a,b)
wdym work for all k in (a, b)
the logic is like this
Suppose I give you some ξ ∈ (f'+(a), f'-(b)) and you wanna find some k such that f'(k) = ξ
Suppose for the first case that ξ lies between f'+(a) and (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a), then with g defined as in the picture you have g(x) = ξ for some x
Then, since g(x) = (f(x)-f(a))/(x-a), by the mean value theorem on the interval from a to x, you know (f(x)-f(a))/(x-a) is equal to f'(k) for some k lying between x and a
Hence, we have produced a k such that f'(k) = ξ as required.
No, we don't need to show that every $k$ in $(a, b)$ gets used. We only need to show that for every value $c$ (where $c$ is a number between the endpoint derivatives), there exists at least one $k$ such that $f'(k) = c$.
Ajay
The other case where ξ lies between (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a) and f'-(b) is similar.
One sec let me read all of this
Why are you adding a and then subtracting b from f'?
Just making sure this x is in (f'(a),g(b))
no this x is in (a, b)
you know that g(a) = f'+(a), g(b) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a), and g is continuous
so you apply the regular intermediate value theorem to conclude the existence of some x in (a, b) such that g(x) = ξ
I don't think that's written anywhere thi
So why are we doing the mean value theorem up to x and not just always from a to b
because you want to equate this g(x) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) to some f'
But g(x) is defined from a to b?
if you apply it from a to b you get some j such that f'(j) = (fb-fa)/(b-a), which is useless
yes, but the goal is to show that this g(x) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) is equal to f'(k) for some k
Well doesn't that guarantee one value?
well yes, it guarantees in particular that the point (fb-fa)/(b-a) = f'(j) for some j
but that's just one point in the whole interval
I'm still confused on how we make it that any point in the interval works
Ok well backtrack a lil
The goal is to show that f'(k) = ξ for some k
We have shown that ξ = g(x) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) for some x
right?
Well haven't we shown it for all x from a to b because on intermediate value theorem
What do you mean?
for all x what
Do you understand why, ξ = g(x) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) for some x ?
Is it not because of the intermediate value theorem. If xi is in (f'(a), g(b))
Then intermediate value confirms that it is an out of g(x)
Okay, so
we have
- g is continuous on [a, b]
- g(a) = f'+(a)
- g(b) = (fb-fa)/(b-a)
- and we assume that ξ is lying between f'+(a) and (fb-fa)/(b-a)
Yes
Yes okay, so we apply the IVT to conclude...
That one of the ouputs of g(x) on that interval equals xi
Yes that's right, but the way you word it is imprecise
"one of the ouputs of g(x) on that interval" is not a proper way to say it
Xi is guaranteed to be an output?
You want to say, "ξ is attained by some x in (a, b)", or "g(x) = ξ for some x in (a, b)", etc
Always remember to bring your quantifiers with you
Understood
Okay, so now we have this
- ξ = g(x) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) for some x
Yes
So consider now the restriction of f to the interval [a, x]
Since it is differentiable, we can apply the mean value theorem to conclude...
Remember, the goal is to produce some k such that f'(k) = (fx-fa)/(x-a) = g(x) = ξ
Well we can produce that. Just by the mean value theorem. Since it guarantees us f'(k) = f(x) -f(a)/x-a for k in (a,x). I am just having trouble seeing how that concludes it. Since all we have done is shown that we can for one value k we can have f' = g(x)
Okay so you know now that f'(k) = g(x) = ξ for some k in (a, x) ⊂ (a, b) right?
Ok so why is it proper subset and not just subset since x could be b
⊂ can mean proper or non-proper subset fyi
it is weaker than < vs ≤
it's inconsistent but it's how most people use it 
I'm confused. I thought the one with the line under was more general???
,tex some people use $\subset$ to mean $\subseteq$
What? Why? Isn't that just confusing.
mhm
But that is just as good as if we applied mean value theorem on [a,b]
No it is not just as good
Because you need f'(k) to equal this value ξ that we are given
I think my confusion stems from how can we treat f'(k) as f'
There is no "treating f'(k) as f'"
Ok I think you may be confused with the high level structure of the proof
So let's say you have to prove some statement like this: prove that all values between 0 and 1 are attained by some function h
Here's the strategy: you can imagine an advisory (me), producing any number, ξ, lying between 0 and 1
You, the defender, have to describe a procedure, that produces a k, corresponding to this ξ, such that h(k) = ξ
Does that make sense?
So I always need to be able to find a k such that h(k) equal xi
yes exactly
let's try this with h(x) = x²
I produce ξ = 1/4, can you give me a corresponding k?
K equal 1/2
exactly
Or negative 1/2
can you do this with any ξ ∈ [0, 1] that I give you? why or why not? can you describe a general procedure to produce a k, given an ξ?
So for x^2 given xi I sqrt it and find k
yes exactly
so you have described a way, given any ξ ∈ [0, 1] from the advisory (me), for the defender (you) to produce a k so that h(k) = ξ
this is the general structure of this proof
It is very similar to ε-δ proofs that you have done in the past
We are saying that we can always find the ouputs of f' to equal xi
mhm
Wait why are we restricting to [a,x]?
We want to show that the ouputs of the deirvate will also be xi given that our input is from a to x which is a subset of a to b but then doesn't a to b contain all subsets. Meaning that if we wanted f' to take the value xi given any value from a to b we should just use (a,b)
No...
You want f'(k) to equal (fx-fa)/(x-a)
if you apply the MVT to f on [a, b], that would just give you some j for which f'(j) = (fb-fa)/(b-a), which is not what we needed
You may want to revise the statement of the mean value theorem
So this is because xi can equal any g(x) not just g(b)
And the mean value theorem tells us that the f'(k) that I am producing is the one that is equal to g(x) which is equal to xi
yes
exactly
Ok so let me make sure I am understanding everything correctly. We have xi which is in (f'(a),f'(b)). Next we are looking at g(x) which is continuous on [a,b]. Now if xi is defined on (g(a),g(b)) then the ivt guarantees it. Meaning that there exists an x in (a,b) such that g(x) =xi and g(a)≤g(x)≤g(b). Next I want to show that given this xi I can produce a k where k in (a,x) such that f'(k) = xi. The mvt for f on [a,x] tells us that I can find a f'(k) = f(x)-f(a)/x-a =g(x) = xi. Since [a,x] is a subset of [a,b]. This means that given a xi defined by g(x) from a to b I can find you a corresponding k on one of the subitnervals that will give me the corresponding xi value. And since I can do that on [a,b] that means that f' takes on xi for some k on [a,b]
yes this is essentially correct, except for a detail at the beginning
what we have proven is that any ξ between f'(a) and (fb-fa)/(b-a) is attained
but we want to show that any ξ between f'(a) and f'(b) are attained, so how do we remedy this?
the answer is to repeat the proof to show that any ξ between (fb-fa)/(b-a) is also attained
So go from g(b) to f'(b)
since these two intervals (f'a to (fb-fa)/(b-a), and (fb-fa)/(b-a) to f'b) together cover the interval from f'a to f'b, we are done
I have one concern when I was writing it up I wrote that if xi is in the interval g(a) to g(b). That isnt guaranteed right?
Which is why we have to look at the other one too
yes you basically prove 2 separate lemmas
this one is the one we have proven
Closed by @royal galleon

No worries. As an exercise you can try to write out the proof of the second lemma in detail
It is quite similar to the first

Did not understand this
How is reflex POR 200?
by the inscribed angle theorem and the size of PQR, which is subtended by the arc PR with reflex POR as its central angle.
Inscribed angle theorem is also called the central angle theorem where the angle inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle. Learn more about the interesting concept of inscribed angle theorem, the proof, and solve a few examples.
Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference on the same arc, so ∠POR = 2 × 100° = 200° (this is a reflex angle).
The interior central angle in triangle POR is 360° − 200° = 160°.
OP = OR (radii of the circle), so triangle POR is isosceles.
Angles in triangle POR add to 180°, so 2∠OPR + 160° = 180°.
Solving gives ∠OPR = 10°.

Q. A carton contains 25 light bulbs, eight of which are defective. What is the probability that if a sample of four bulbs is chosen, exactly two of them will be defective?
Here is my approach, I was hoping someone could tell me if this is correct or not.
I use the binomial approach here, total events are 4 and exactly 2 of those events must satisfy the condition that the bulb is defective
here is the formula:
$ \binom{4}{2} {\frac{8}{25}}^2 {\frac{17}{25}}^2 $
ah how do I get the bot to mathify this
alright
$\binom{4}{2} {\frac{8}{25}}^2 {\frac{17}{25}}^2$
Nox
here we go
the squared is on the entire fraction
$\binom{4}{2} (\frac{8}{25})^2 (\frac{17}{25})^2$
Nox
just wanted to know if this is the correct approach
okay so I gave it more thought and I figured I can't use the binomial distribution here since the probability changes when the first bulb is drawn
Though the binomial distribution will be very close, there is a better choice
$\binom{4}{2} \frac{8}{25} \frac{7}{25} \frac{17}{25} \frac{16}{25}$
Nox
is this it?
mhm
oh wait no, the denominator
$\binom{4}{2} \frac{8}{25} \frac{7}{24} \frac{17}{23} \frac{16}{22}$
Nox
this might be it
That might actually be it.
However, there is a distribution for this, called the hypergeometric distribution
