Hi need help with a few Questions of Topology
can someone explain this question to me

frail lintel
pseudo pasture
#

so it is a subspace topology?
that is intersection of arbitrary open sets in R^2 with the {x+y = 0} subset?

frail lintel
frail lintel
#

So in terms of finding the open sets of this here's a small excerise, what kind of open sets on this set of equivalence classes would make the map R^2 to R^2/~ where (x,y) gets sent to it's equivalence class continous

#

And this topology is not the indiscrete topology

pseudo pasture
#

OHK

#

got it

#

I was confusing my self

#

thanks

I have trouble getting my grasp of quotient groups. I have gotten so far as to it being related to congruency and normality - actually I am quite sure, I accept the concept and is familiar with the words involved. But my intuitive powers are somehow not getting there. Can anyone help?

amber waspBOT
#

@knotty burrow Has your question been resolved?

knotty burrow
#

I have not heard from anyone. Maybe my question is not well-formed?

fading crypt
knotty burrow
#

Well, congruence modulo K is a relation on a group G with subgroup K. It has some properties:

"The congruence class of a modulo K is the right coset Ka = {ka | with k \in K}."

fading crypt
#

So it's the set of all things that satisfy that equation

knotty burrow
#

So there are a multitude of questions: What is the idea driving these right cosets? How can I form a more intuitive approach, that would enable me to get behind the definitions?

fading crypt
knotty burrow
#

Yes. So elements of k on the right, all elements of G on the left

#

Opposite, of course.

fading crypt
knotty burrow
#

Yes, ok. I am going to formulate my question a little better and go there. Thanks!

Hi!! Can every x in (0,1) be expressed exactly in the form a/2^n where a is an integer from 1 to (2^n)-1

prime knoll
#

nah

#

1/pi

river brook
#

o

#

right

ripe cipher
#

you don't even need to go that far

#

even 1/3 doesn't have any such expression

river brook
#

irrationals, forgot them

ripe cipher
#

your question amounts to "does every real number between 0 and 1 have a terminating binary expansion"

river brook
#

mmm yes

#

None of this came to mind cause this question came up during a proof of minkowksi

We had a lecture where we had to prove minkowski in R²

#

And we started w defining convexity

#

( oh its a summer program btw, the lecturer likes and wants us to be annoyingly precise w definitions and everything else )

#

And somebody asked whether x,y in S => (x+y)/2 in S is enough to state that S is concave

#

Initially I thought no, then yes, then finally no

#

but since the program just ended I thought it's fine to seek external help now

cold vortex

You can think of what happens if S is closed and has that property, just for fun

What do you want to learn

tropic jolt
pliant quarry
#

mathematics?

#

i am just asking, what are some resources and where should i begin

#

i am kind of clueless

stuck flint
#

Where should you begin?

pliant quarry
#

yes

#

i am confused

stuck flint
#

I hope you know substraction addition multiplication and division

pliant quarry
#

i know those

#

but

#

what are some resources to learn mathematics

stuck flint
#

Book

#

Youtube

pliant quarry
#

i have tried, but can you give a more detailed answer?

stuck flint
#

Well start from algebra 1 maybe

#

@worn geyser can I ask something?

pliant quarry
#

I was recommended pre-algebra, and told to figure out my level of mathematics by my family

#

but i am still confused as to where should i learn

#

what are some popular resources?

#

<@&286206848099549185> I am an absolute beginner in maths. What are some places to start learning mathematics?

stuck flint
#

In which grade you are ?

jaunty remnant
#

Do you wanna self learn math? @pliant quarry

pliant quarry
#

yes

jaunty remnant
#

and not for your school

#

for now

pliant quarry
stuck flint
jaunty remnant
#

then it is for school lol

pliant quarry
#

4th grade

stuck flint
#

Bro

pliant quarry
#

what

jaunty remnant
stuck flint
#

Just ask your teacher what he have taught and cover it

pliant quarry
#

but my teacher can't help me, i am too far behind

stuck flint
#

You can't be far behind in grade 4 tbh

pliant quarry
#

i definitely do, because i meant my level of mathematics is 4th grade

#

sorry for not being clear

Without calculator

queen dragon
#

Hes not a 4th grader

pliant quarry
#

am i not stating this clearly? i am 13, but my level of mathematics is comparable to fourth grade.

uncut nexus
#

Oh okay

pliant quarry
#

and now i am forced to learn maths

stuck flint
#

Bro then what's your orginal grade ?

uncut nexus
#

Why you say “ban:(“ when we ask your age then bro 13 is enough to use discord 😭

stuck flint
#

Bro's definitely 13-

pliant quarry
#

i thought 13 is young for discord

queen dragon
#

The fire went down quick

uncut nexus
#

I think we should help instead of investigating tho lol

pliant quarry
#

i agree ):

stuck flint
queen dragon
#

I assume you are a sixth grader

stuck flint
#

Resources for exactly what level

queen dragon
#

So you gotta learn basic algebra

rain arch
#

if u need help can't u go to discussion instead

pliant quarry
#

i just searched professor leonard

rain arch
#

this is for help with math questions

pliant quarry
#

his videos are like, mostly around algebra and calculus

queen dragon
pliant quarry
queen dragon
#

I assume you just need to learn factorisation and whatnot

stuck flint
#

Now you need to study

queen dragon
pliant quarry
queen dragon
#

I was not sure what grade you were in

pliant quarry
#

it's okay

#

but any advice for a beginner

#

not calculus

queen dragon
#

Do problems, thats all

pliant quarry
#

any websites or books?

jaunty remnant
#

ka

queen dragon
#

Are you looking for problem sets?

pliant quarry
#

i am looking for: tutorials, courses, books and more

uncut nexus
#

You can buy a book with math problems suitable for your grade and your country’s curriculum. Just ask your teacher for a book to recommend and start solving it

pliant quarry
#

okay

#

but that wouldn't be enough

uncut nexus
#

What topics are needed in 6th grade changes a bit depending on where you are

queen dragon
pliant quarry
#

what?

queen dragon
#

You could practice these

pliant quarry
#

math changes depending by country?

queen dragon
uncut nexus
astral ruin
#

yeah, it could help us if you stated clearly or gave us example of exactly the type of problem you are trying to solve/deal with

uncut nexus
queen dragon
astral ruin
#

because you saying pre-algebra

trim wraith
astral ruin

This pre-algebra video tutorial provides an introduction / basic overview into common topics taught in that course. It covers mathematical concepts such as adding and subtracting integers, order of operations, solving equations, and simplifying fractions. These review lessons are useful for any student taking pre-algebra.

Here is a list of to...

▶ Play video
pliant quarry

then why did you give them to me if you find them disgusting?

uncut nexus
pliant quarry
#

another tutor?

#

let me check

astral ruin
#

he has a nice playlist

queen dragon
astral ruin
#

on pre-algebra

pliant quarry
pliant quarry
#

i think the tutorial is enough help for now

#

I will search more websites and resources myself

queen dragon
#

I dont think you need more than organic chem tutor

pliant quarry
#

for now, the tutorial, and other things like (KA for example) are enough

queen dragon
#

Gotta start practicing

astral ruin
#

what would be a more productive way of using these channel is that once you have a question you are stuck on post it here then we can concretely help tbh

pliant quarry
#

you are right

worn geyser
#

you could also try going through your old math workbooks like last years

pliant quarry
#

i should practice, and actually ask questions

#

that would be more productive

pliant quarry
#

okay

#

thanks to everyone for helping me

queen dragon
#

Good luck

pliant quarry
#

i will close the channel now

astral ruin
#

i would also say’s, like others, that you need to clarify what you need with your teacher

modern frost
#

i need someone to verify my answer

amber waspBOT
modern frost
#

i split it into two integrals

#

actually ill split into 3 first then merge two

#

$$\int_{C_1} 6x , ds$$
$$\textbf{r}(t) = \langle t, 3 + t^2 \rangle \implies || \textbf{r}'(t) || = \sqrt{1 + 4t^2}$$
$$\implies \int_{-2}^{0} 6t\sqrt{1 + 4t^2} , dt$$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

MARETU

modern frost
#

$$\int_{C_2} 6x , ds$$
$$\textbf{r}(t) = \langle t, 3 - t^2 \rangle \implies || \textbf{r}'(t) || = \sqrt{1 + 4t^2}$$
$$\implies \int_{0}^{2} 6t\sqrt{1 + 4t^2} , dt$$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

MARETU

modern frost
#

so $\int_{C_1} 6x , ds + \int_{C_2} 6x , ds = \int_{-2}^{2} 6t\sqrt{1 + 4t^2}$, which after a quick u-sub resolves to 0

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

MARETU

modern frost
#

$$\int_{C_3} 6x , ds$$
$$\textbf{r}(t) = \langle 2 - 3t, -1 - t \rangle \implies || \textbf{r}'(t) || = \sqrt{10}$$
$$\implies \sqrt{10} \int_0^1 12 - 18t , dt = \boxed{3\sqrt{10}}$$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

MARETU

modern frost
#

so $\int_C 6x , ds = \boxed{3\sqrt{10}}$

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

MARETU

modern frost
#

is this correct?

,w int from 0 to 1 6(2-3t)sqrt{10} dt

orchid patrol
orchid patrol
#

So I don't get how his proof at the end works

elder harbor
#

how so

rich elm
#

Write the number of paths to a node inside the node
And represent it as combinations with n being the length of the path and r being the number of right turns
That's how I think about Pascal's triangle

elder harbor
#

to pick 4 things from 6 things

#

let's say 1 of the 6 balls is pink aka unique

rich elm
#

For pascals identity you just add up the number of paths to each parent node

orchid patrol
#

So he says 6 choose 4 can be made of 5 choose 3 and 5 choose 4. So he says this is possible because if he has has 6 beads and he highlights one that he wants to use and says that he then has 5 left so he can choose 3 and that's 5 choose 3 but if he doesn't choose that bead he needs to choose 4 from 5

orchid patrol
elder harbor
#

so

#

there are two cases of choosing the 6 thing

#
  1. i get the pink one first and then i pick the rest
#
  1. i dont get the pink one (cuz ill ignore it) and ill get the remaining
orchid patrol
#

Yes but we are always choosing out of 5

elder harbor
#

yes

#

cuz the first step is actually to pick the pink one

#

for 1.

#

in its full form

#

[ \binom{1}{1} \cdot \binom{5}{3}]

grizzled pagodaBOT
orchid patrol
#

Yes I understand you either choose pink or don't so then you get 5 choose 3 or 5 choose 4

elder harbor
#

yes

orchid patrol
elder harbor
#

this is equal to the first case

#

right?

#

for the first case:

  1. i pick the pink ball out first so i choose that 1 thing out of the 1 option that i have
  2. then i will go on to pick the remaining 5 balls whatever they may be
orchid patrol
elder harbor
#

well

#

1C1 is trivially 1, do u agree?

elder harbor
orchid patrol
#

Ok I guess because you are still technically choosing out of 6 things. But then in the second case you are just choosing out of 5

orchid patrol
#

Ye but I don't understand why but I can't get around how this addition means there equal

elder harbor
#

in the second case, the pink ball is completely ignored

orchid patrol
#

Like sure I understand how the proof works but I don't see why it proves it

elder harbor
#

addition principle of counting

orchid patrol
#

Well no right? Since both sets definitely don't have the pink element but the rest of the three can be the same

elder harbor
#

the first one has

#

the first set is {pink, smth, smth, smth}

#

the second set is {smth, smth, smth, smth}

#

and smth is not pink

orchid patrol
orchid patrol
elder harbor
orchid patrol
#

What are cardinalities?

elder harbor
#

size of set

#

fancy word

#

but do u get that these 2 cases are disjoint

orchid patrol
#

No sorry

elder harbor
#

ok so for case 1

#

it's the set

crystal swan
#

hican someone help me with this question?

elder harbor
#

of element in this form {pink, smth, smth, smth}

elder harbor
crystal swan
#

how do i do that

elder harbor
crystal swan
#

thanks

elder harbor
#

the sets for case is {{pink, smth, smth, smth}, {pink, smth, smth, smth}, {pink, smth, smth, smth}, ...}

#

it's a set of sets

orchid patrol
#

Ok oh so each element in this set is a set and those don't match with the other sets in the set of sets for case 2

#

Sorry I was thinking about single sets

elder harbor
#

yup

elder harbor
orchid patrol
# elder harbor

Ok so going back to your definition here. Would task mean 6c4?

elder harbor
#

yup

#

choosing 4 balls from 6 balls

orchid patrol
#

Ok so 6c4 can be made up of choosing from other sets that have no elements in common

#

But cant you make it from other sets then

elder harbor
#

could u elaborate

elder harbor
#

like

#

pink, blue, and 2 other elements

orchid patrol
#

But even with this definition I feel like it is like the marble thing. Like I still don't get it intituivitly

orchid patrol
elder harbor
#

hmm

#

i think there is

#

but this is prolly the chillest one

orchid patrol
#

So can't our marble example be disproved then

elder harbor
#

4 = 2 + 2 and 4 = 1+3

#

dont disprove that 2+2 = 4

orchid patrol
#

Ok i just fixed my issue which was I was stuck on the fact that your choosing from a different amount of things. But the solution is as long as the number of choosing things is the same then it should be good

elder harbor
#

its just a different way to view the same process

#

essentially

orchid patrol
#

Ye

#

Ok thank you so much for helping me

elder harbor
#

hope my explanation helps

#

👍

orchid patrol
#

Ye it was great

raven mortar
#

the sum of first 20 terms of series 5+11+19+29+41 is......

elder harbor
#

have u found

#

the explicit formula

#

for the sequence/series

raven mortar
#

lemme send the sol^n i did

#

The wrong sol^n

ripe cipher
#

some of the digits are hard to read/distinguish in this picture...

#

especially 4 vs. 9

raven mortar
#

im really soryy 1st line
S= 5+11+19+29+41

ripe cipher
#

anyway i see you got the 20th term as 461

#

which at least looks reasonable

#

but then you treated your original progression like an AP and applied the AP sum formula

#

when it's not an AP

#

so you can't do that

raven mortar
#

i thought that ive got last term so....... .

ripe cipher
#

first and last term are enough for AP only

#

(and maybe GP if you stretch a bit)

#

do you understand why it is wrong to apply the AP sum formula to a series that is not AP

raven mortar
#

yeah now i thought and understood
actually i did that bcoz i had no other options

ripe cipher
#

yours is a quadratic progression

my my whats that
can i solve this even without it

elder harbor
ripe cipher
#

it's a sequence/progression/whatever where the n'th term rule is a quadratic function of n

raven mortar
#

one like this?

ripe cipher
#

no this looks like GP

#

geometric

#

quadratic isnt the same

raven mortar
#

my teacher never told me anything like that indeed

marble apex
#

I mean cant he solve it like

#

Finding sum of first 20 squares

#

And firs 20 numbers

ripe cipher
#

sure eventually you can

#

but without proper terminology and notation it will be a struggle

#

and with the big barrier of "teacher never taught this" it will also be a struggle

#

so it's a struggle^2

marble apex
marble apex
#

Cause from the pattern i see its

ripe cipher
#

i worked out the rule for the sequence

#

not sure if it's worth spilling the beans on that here

marble apex
#

I see

raven mortar
#

in such series we are only told to just substract as u can see there i know nothing else

#

is it the actual method

#

that teacher taught us

#

series having difference in AP

marble apex
#

I don't think so

#

Since it isnt forming AP in difference too

#

No it is

#

Mb

#

Its 6 8 10

raven mortar
#

??

#

any formula for sum of terms of quadratic progression

ionic leaf
#

If by quadratic progression you mean sum of squares then yeah there is a formula

ripe cipher
raven mortar
#

lets try

ionic leaf
#

hmm

grizzled pagodaBOT
raven mortar
#

ik this

gleaming forge
#

something like this i m getting this pattern 5, 11, 19 where difference is in ap with a = 6 and d = 2 and then

raven mortar
#

a lot ppl gathered just to solve a JEE Question

marble apex
#

You will have to make sure to subtract 1 from result though

#

If u use formula

#

Cause u are starting from 2²

ionic leaf
raven mortar
#

quadratic progression isnt like that
i can substract excess no out of formula

raven mortar
ionic leaf
#

yeah

#

so

#

did you find the general term

raven mortar
#

nope whats that

gleaming forge
raven mortar
#

yeah

gleaming forge
#

ok

raven mortar
#

hmm

ionic leaf
grizzled pagodaBOT
raven mortar
#

and what an here

marble apex
raven mortar
#

a10?

ionic leaf
#

Basically we wanna rewrite your sum as $\displaystyle \sum_{k = 1}^{20} a_k$

grizzled pagodaBOT
ionic leaf
raven mortar
#

yeah

marble apex
#

Here the term is a²+b

ionic leaf
#

Is English hard for you to work in @raven mortar ?

raven mortar
#

not at all

ionic leaf
#

Well okay

ionic leaf
raven mortar
raven mortar
marble apex
# raven mortar how

A is like ur square series ranging from 2 -21 since u need to find 20 terms

#

And b starts from 1

gleaming forge
#

i have something wait

marble apex
#

Cus its 4+1 then 9+2 then 16+3 and so on

raven mortar
#

now i can solve my self

gleaming forge
#

noice

gleaming forge
marble apex
#

The term which forms the base of AP is general term

raven mortar
#

truly good

gleaming forge
gleaming forge
raven mortar
#

whats the answer u got

marble apex
gleaming forge
raven mortar
#

true indeed but answer?

gleaming forge
raven mortar
marble apex
raven mortar
#

yeah its above that

marble apex
#

3520

#

Did you add the rest?

#

Like 1 + 2 + 3 terms?

raven mortar
#

yes

gleaming forge
raven mortar
#

nachti is right

gleaming forge
marble apex
#

Are your calc correct?

gleaming forge
#

yes

raven mortar
#

ur approach would have issue

marble apex
#

Yeah i think

#

But it should work

raven mortar
#

ty natch i had underestimated u very before but u r so good which country?

#

i cant understand his method

gleaming forge
#

no i did the same method as nachti

#

\the square one

#

im still getting wrong tho

marble apex
#

No i am getting correct answer

raven mortar
#

send me a proper image portrait not landscape

#

u do natch

raven mortar
marble apex
ember ether
#

Chaos

marble apex
raven mortar
#

same my my

marble apex
#

Then add sum of first 20 digits

raven mortar
marble apex
#

I mean i legit used a calc to see if i did wrong but i am getting correct anwer smh

gleaming forge
marble apex
marble apex
#

U cant take 1

gleaming forge
#

why

marble apex
#

Its not there

raven mortar
#

use formulas

marble apex
#

It starts from 2

marble apex
gleaming forge
#

5=1+4

raven mortar
#

and -1 from it coz it start from 2

gleaming forge
marble apex
marble apex
gleaming forge
#

okkkk

#

i get it

raven mortar
#

it was a good question

gleaming forge
#

shit

marble apex
#

And then -1

#

And add 1-20

gleaming forge
#

ok

marble apex
#

As 1 isnt a term in question

raven mortar
#

n(n+1)/2 sum of n positive no.

marble apex
raven mortar
#

its 10th grade maths formula

marble apex
#

So ([{n(n+1)(2n+1)}/6]-1)+n(n+1)/2 should give the answer

#

Where n in first bracket is 21

#

And n after term 1 is 20

raven mortar
#

close

marble apex
#

Did u get the answer?

raven mortar

split sail
#

right

#

Thing about the terms in terms of a,b,c and imagine the different cases

sterile nymph
#

@turbid pebble first I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the two bases for the exponents are the same

sterile nymph
#

That is one way!

#

But there's another

#

Leading question, are there any values for which the base makes it so that the exponent is irrelevant?

#

Values a such that a^x = c for all x, where c is a constant

turbid pebble
sterile nymph
#

You're jumping ahead a little bit

turbid pebble
sterile nymph
turbid pebble
sterile nymph
#

Is there another case?

turbid pebble
#

Then we will have to find the domain too

split sail
#

Did someone just say domain?

turbid pebble
split sail
#

:]

turbid pebble
#

It's the possible values of x which satisfies the equation

split sail
#

Yup you should think of the whole quadratic as a,b,c and then try to fit different cases

#

For example the one you already did a^b =a^c when b=c

turbid pebble
#

hmm I understand

sterile nymph
#

Well, a^b = a^c only implies b=c when a isn't a special sort of value

#

Like if we have a = -5 and b and c are not whole numbers, then it doesn't work

#

Unless you introduce complex numbers

split sail
#

0^0 is not defined but b can't be 0

sterile nymph
#

0^0 is typically defined to be 1

turbid pebble
#

What I get is that if we divide both sides by a^c, and make RHS = 1... we get a^(b-c) = 1, which is ultimately a^(b-c) = a^0, and then we can make the powers equal and calculate roots of quadratic.... then we will take it's intersection with domain of x

split sail
turbid pebble
sterile nymph
#

It won't affect the result

split sail
#

I mean if it's a limiting value them only its 1

split sail
#

a^b = a^c

#

b = c

#

What else do we have mr satorou

sterile nymph
#

Take the log base a of both sides, which is only possible if a is a nice number

split sail
#

Then a can't be 0 in that case

sterile nymph
#

If a is not a nice number then we have to handle that case separately

sterile nymph
#

So what numbers don't play nice at the bottom of log?

split sail
#

Taking log won't do any good

sterile nymph
#

a^b = a^c => b = c is exactly the process of taking the log

#

You just hid the step

split sail
#

You'd still be cases then

sterile nymph
#

Yes, you need to work the cases separately

split sail
#

for a =!0

#

Yea so conclusion

#

a^b=a^c when mr gojo?

#

I think he's gone

Nahh just trying by own

ember ether

Oh the powers in the brackets are the same, phew- almost started when i saw quad^quad ded

sterile nymph
#

Ok, so what cases do you have?

Think about what a can be so that the b=c case does not take into account

#

For 2

#

I know the phase shift is pi/3

#

Isn't the amplitude 2 in this case though?

true jackal
#

No

#

Amplitude is the number in front of the function sin (or cos)

#

In general, A•sin(ω(x - φ)) + k

#

A is the amplitude

last mango
true jackal
#

Nope

#

2 is the angular frequency, which is 2π/T

#

So the period T is 2π/ω. Hence, 2π/2 in this case

#

Therefore the period is π

last mango
#

😭

#

None of the answers have a 2 in em. tho

true jackal
last mango
true jackal
#

Yeah

last mango
#

So pi/3, 2, 3

#

I tbgount

true jackal

So π/3, π, 3

true jackal
last mango
#

Oh nvm

#

Can you explain in simpler where that pi comes from

true jackal
#

I wrote it above...

last mango
#

So you just take that number and do 2pi/that number

#

Allways?

#

Like if there was a 5 instead of a 2 it would be 2pi/5

opaque idol

T= 2pi/omega

do you agree with this formula

wanton harbor
#

For question 3, I did 10x^4 + 1

amber waspBOT
lusty pine
wanton harbor
#

What’s the power of that 1?

#

Is it 0 or 1

lusty pine
#

9 is 9x^0

wanton harbor
#

And u know that that a power of a constant is 0 which equals to 1

wind osprey
#

And the devirative of a any constant is 0

#

Basically think of it as that number ×x^0

#

When u differentiate you get that exponent out right?

Well a 0 multiplied by anything is 0

#

Just

#

Make every constant disappear when u differentiate it

#

2x^5 +1 is like

2x^5 +x^0 right?

Now we do the usual stuff

2×5x^4 + 0×x^-1 and yeah. It disappears

#

Same goes for the other one

2x^5 -7 is like

2x^5 -7x^0

And

2×5x^4 -7×0×x^-1 and yeah. It disappears again

#

All constants disappear

#

@wanton harbor

wanton harbor
#

@wind osprey Wait so that 1 has a power of 0 which makes it 0x1

#

Which equals to 0

#

Is that how it is seen

wind osprey
#

Exactly

#

Yes

#

So now always erase them constants 🔥🔥

#

Fuck em

wanton harbor
#

Lmao

#

I forgot my power rules for

#

Exponents of 0 and 1

#

I can’t find the difference

wind osprey
#

Power of 1 is just yeah. The x disappears and u only have the constant

(5x)'=5×1×x^0 wich is 5

When its a constant its 0

#

Think of it like that

wanton harbor
#

Wait wait it would make the constant 1 as such —-> 0x1^-1

#

Right

wind osprey
#

Hmm?

#

Wich one

wanton harbor
wind osprey
#

Any constant is already multiplied by x^0

Its 1

Everything is multiplied by 1

#

So constants always go to 0

wanton harbor
#

So this happens before it even becoming an exponent as -1

#

Which doesn’t exist

#

Correct?

wind osprey
#

Dont overthink it

#

I gave u an example just to understand why they disappear

#

Its actually like this deviratives are the speed of growth of a function

#

Constant functions never increase neither decrease

#

So their state of change is always 0

#

They're called constants because they dont change wether we mess with x or not

#

Thats why they disappear when we differentiate them

wanton harbor
#

Ahh makes sense

#

Thanks 🙏

covert mountain
#

my idea is i could find the taylor polynomial of f and g and prove f and g are analytic

covert mountain
#

wait i need to try smth rq

#

so i have the taylor polynomial of $f$ about $x=a$ is $f(a) \cdot \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(x-a)^n}{n!}$

#

not that

grizzled pagodaBOT
#

covert mountain
#

im unfamiliar with the theory of taylor polynomial but how do i go about proving it converges to the function?

How do i verify that 8 is the only case where this happens? I verified that 8 is a case where the list is dependent as 2v_1 + 3v_2 = v_3

pallid canopy
#

write equations from the definition of linear dependence

turbid pulsar
#

2a+b+7z = 0
3a-b+3z = 0
a+2b+zc=0?

pallid canopy
#

sure

turbid pulsar
#

ok then, we know c=8 has a soltuion

#

how do i show that c!=8 does not have a solution?

#

rref?

pallid canopy
#

only c=8 makes it so that eqn 3 are a linear combination of 1 and 2

turbid pulsar
pallid canopy
#

if c!= 8 then the coefficients must be 0

#

find a, b, z

turbid pulsar
#

in terms of c?

pallid canopy
#

yea try it

#

there are some theorems that make this easier, so if you've learned some recently, go review them

turbid pulsar
#

ok

zinc warren
#

bit confused on why they stated by the cancellation law

zinc warren
#

oh wait hmm

#

I was going to say do we need cancellation law to multiply both sides by the inverse of a^j

#

but we dont know if that inverse exists

#

so they are using the cancellation law to do something that I dont quite see yet

#

m I think I see

#

$(a^{i-0}) = a^j \implies (a^{i-j+j}) = a^j \implies (a^{i-j})a^j = a^j$

#

Branshi

zinc warren
#

and by cancellation a^{i-j} = 1

shrewd elm
#

yes

#

and the reason you can cancel is because a^j is nonzero and this is a domain

zinc warren
#

I see ok thank you

#
