Yep, that's the idea, fractional parts being equal leads to alpha being rational (but that can't be
)
wait why would you even care if a is rational or irrational
Because we're trying to show that the set we made with alpha irrational must be dense
ohh yea
gotta reread the question again
trying to understand the process that I forgot about what we are even trying to solve
Hehe 
The statement needn't be true if alpha were allowed to be rational (e.g. if you could have set alpha = 1/2, that wouldn't get you a dense set, it'd just get you all integer multiples of 1/2 really)
Well, off topic and yea I think this is too difficult for me at the moment. Im gonna jump back to smth easier
Im not quite sure what this means
Also, yea I think Im gonna give up on that question for now, to study other topics.. cause I really dont have much time
Awww
how long do you have again?
why since 1/n is in C, eps is not a lower bound
All I remember for archimedes is that for eps>0, there exists 1/n<eps
I dont understand why I just remembered the words
You found an element in your set that's smaller than your supposed lower bound 
Oh wow
shiieetttt that's so soon 
Esp to cover those in that time 
my fault, I spent alot of time before trying to finish a calc assignment. I could've done the assignment sooner and start studying for this sooner
now after this exam, Ive got another calc assignment due in two days time
I have bad time management
and Im lazy so I procrastinate
Relatable, I've done very little these past few days despite having the time to
i don't even know with me 
I just wanna graduate, get a job and not be broke🥲
Awwww 
@glad sinew Has your question been resolved?
im still hereee
This thread got off topic and hard to find your actual question and current understanding. Do you mind just opening a new one with your progress
sure
Im working on a question rn
but I wanna try it out first
play around with it
this is the question
Actually yea I'll open up new thread

what is a lower case
how about we do like
wdym
how many points he scores within these 3 throws
it seems like he will play this fking game forever, and that's what have been making me confused
sorry i was drawing
that says throw 1 and throw 2 and throw 3, i just cant write
the R means Ringer
does the layout make sense?
he might, but it ultimately wont matter
well use the complement to only consider a handful of cases
it does
okay
this is what we want to know
we could alternatively write: 1 - P(zach takes 2 or less throws)
because P(thing happens) = 1 - P(thing doesnt happen)
the complement is that he cannot score any point in his first 4 rounds.
in your problem, itd be that he does score a ringer in the first 4 throws
So (0.6)^4
ohhh
Zach makes a ringer in the 5th (or later) round
this is the opposite of Zach makes a ringer in the first, second, third, or fourth round
now you just total these up
P(zach scores in the first round) = 0.4
P(zach scores in the second round) = 0.6 * 0.4
do you see the pattern? do you see why these numbers?
hmm
I just ran it over brutally, but i do not think it is a good way to solve it
so itll be, i think,
$\sum _{i=0}^3 (0.4)(0.6)^i$
jan Niku
we want to know about the cases where it takes him 5 tries, or more
as it is an "yes or no" situation
so we look at cases where it takes him 4 times, or less
to score his first point.
we argue that these cases together make up everything that can happen
yea
so P(it takes him 5 or more tries) + P(it takes him 4 or less tries) = 1
then P(it takes him 5 or more tries) = 1 - P(it takes him 4 or less tries) just by subtraction
its not
so say hes on his first throw
tbh im trying to think of
i think they want you to use geometric
its bugging me
it is 0.4 for he scores at first round.
"geometric" do you means graph it
no, a geometric series
ohhh
I didn't see that it is related to geometric series
because P(he scores on the ith round) is (0.4)*(0.6)^(i-1)
right, and if he doesnt, then probability 0.6 that he tries again
ohhh case is getting systemetric and general
I suppose that is "P(it takes him 4 or less tries)"?
I had made some mistake fk
The Mickey should be turn into 2 as a coefficient
I do not think so?
the 0.4 stands for the Prob that he scores in first round
and (0.4)^2 for he scores in first and second
so on (0.4)^3
this doesnt really make sense
so
if he scored in the first round
itd be probability 0.4
but if he fails, this has 0.6 probability
if he scores in the following round, he must fail in the first
its implied he stops if he scores
so you should only ever have one factor of 0.4
if he scores in the ith round, he will have failed (i-1) times
ohhh once he score then the game is over?
yea
this is the complement, yea
so 1-mickey = the answer
i think so
he could, it wont matter, the problem says first
im gonna sleep
i let other helpers know youre here, if they are around, if you have other questions
good night
sum way?
yea, with a series
so, would you agree if i said like
$P($zach scores on the ith round$) = 0.4 \cdot 0.6^{i-1}$
jan Niku
0.4, for the 1 time hes successful
then i-1 many failures
by laws of probability,
$\sum _{i=1}^\infty P($zach scores on the ith round$) = 1$
jan Niku
$\sum {i=1}^4 P($zach scores on the ith round$) + \sum{i=5}^\infty P($zach scores on the ith round$) = 1$
jan Niku
we can use this, now
$\sum _{i=1}^4 0.4(0.6)^{i-1} + \sum _{i=5}^\infty 0.4(0.6)^{i-1} = 1$
jan Niku
the second sum is geometric
well, they both are
which formula you remember is the one you can use
i always remember $\sum _{i=0} ^\infty b^i = \frac{1}{1-b}$
jan Niku
I see
we just need to reindex a little
but this questions seems a little boring?
we have to change the question, so the situation is more complex
idk i really do have to sleep
wut
ohh
never mind, I thought you was able to know the answer, after we making these events dependent, within a mins and some calculation in your mind.
independence it very convenient dependent is harder
yea, but it makes the question more enjoyable.
we love complex questions

Find the number of words with or without meaning which can be made
using all the letters of the word AGAIN. If these words are written as in a dictionary,
what will be the 50th word?
i got the first part as 5!/2!
but im not sure how to start on the second part of the question
wait nvm i think i got it , its just a bit tiresome
You'll have to work it out by first ordering the words starting with A
is it naaig
yeahhh okie , noted
,w rank of naaig
uhh
,w 5!/2!
Yes
24+12 = 36
then I also 4!/2!
so like 36+12 = 48
49th letter would be starting with N
i.e Naagi
so 50th would be naaig
??
is that cool or i missed something
yes, I think that's right
i actually dont have answer to this too , i had this question in my revision question sheet
ah cool thank you!!!

hey guys, I need help to confirm if my calculations are correct and the graph
(you might want to translate it, so more people can help)
ok, then gimme a sec
wow I have never seen this words
are you phd student?
ahaha, no, it's another language
the calculations are correct
thanks,
another thing i need to know is, that they said I should also calculate the intersection of the lines, I calculated the first coordinate to be 3 (on the x-axis), which I can see is correct. But when I calculated for the second coordinate (on the y-axis), maple said it was 1, but when I look at it the point of intersection, it's -1 and not 1.
Can someone tell me why?
what is 3+3 please help me 😭

how do i factorise this
well ordinarily you should combine them and then factor the result
it happens to work in this instance to factor each part separately as well but in general that's not reliable
ok
well normaly we learnt that x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)*(x+y) but idk what is quare root of (18x^2 - 8)
it isn't a square
this one does happen to be a square but it's not used the way you're thinking
you've seen (x+y)^2?
do you know how to expand (x+y)^2
how come?
because the person who wrote the problem made it that way
no, like what is x and y in this one
hint: the plus signs stay the same
so look at the first term, what squared equals that
12x is the "2xy" term
4 obviously (2)^2
so it's not a square
let's say (a+b)^2 to make it easier
ok
so this is a^2 then
this should be 2ab
and this b^2
after you pull out a common factor it becomes a difference of squares
idk what do u mean by that
i half understand
pull the 2 out now
9x?
oh ye
you mean $9x^2$
斯韋裡
it's correct then
斯韋裡
yea?
now it is in the form of $a^2-b^2$
斯韋裡
do you know this identity?
yeah
apply it
idk where to go from now
where are you stuck now
im here atm $(3x+2)^2-2[(3x)^2-2^2]$
chillmystery
the identity is $a^2-b^2= (a+b)(a-b)$
斯韋裡
use this
斯韋裡
it can be written like this
how??
i just applied this identity
idk how u did it
you can just write it that way
im confused
is this the second term only or both of them
wait x^2 + y^2 = (xy)^2???
only the second term
nope
$x^2 * y^2 = (xy)^2$
斯韋裡
the - was from the start
now take (3x+2) common
so $(3x+2) * [(3x+2) * (3x-2) *2]$?
chillmystery
斯韋裡
斯韋裡
im confused again
just divide by this
wdym devide
okay since you can see (3x+2) in both the terms you can divide and get rid of it
wdym devide
i dont see any fraction
man imma go i spent almost 1 hour on this problem and i have many others

I need some help justifying this formula shows the the area of this cone and cylinder (without the top)
The volume of the cone is 40 dm3
i've come to far as to bind s(r) = 12,7324/(r^2 -0,6666667r)
and come to this result
But i don't see what i'm missing
@jade mantle Has your question been resolved?
whats s
s is the height of the cylinder
are you given that info?
I'm not given the value of s
s is shown to be the height on the image i sent
because those formula you gave don't have s
I bound s to r, so i can find the area O(r)
As the total volume needs to be 40, i bound s to r with this function
oh, total is 40, not just the cone as you initially wrote?
My bad,
volume of cone and cylinder is 40 in total.
can you show the work for your result
Formula to find volume of the entire thing, and since V=40 the equation looks like this
To find the area of both, the formula is, where t is the side length of the cone
I bound t to r as such,
since height of cone is 2r and radius is just r
So to find surface area cylinder+cone i've reached this formula now
And s i have already bound to r, so i concluded this must be the function to find surface area of cylinder+cone
ideally you should work with exact values
and fractions
you shouldn't be using a calculator for this at any point
leave pi as pi, sqrt(sutff) as sqrt(stuff) etc
apart from un-ideal rounding,
your issue here is that you didn't apply pythag properly
you need (2r)^2, not 2r^2
lol
the fact that it's that, that i forget, out of this
There must be something i'm still missing. Even when i correct for pythagoras, the answer i'm getting is still off

How can i add this radical expression?
5√3 + 3√2 - 2√3
,, a\3c+b\3c = (a+b)\3c
you can use this here
for example, you can start by associating what your a,b, and c's are in your expression
Can i leave the √2√5 together?
Or i need to multiply
Ill show you picture instead
Yess
sadly that does not work
Its taking long to send sorry
so ill keep it easy for you: you can only do this if the square roots have the same number inside
like
Do i have to multiply the two radicals
,align
2\33 + 4\33 &= 6\33\
2\33+4\34 &\c r \ne 6\33\34
no
you just evaluate $5\33 - 2\33$
What happens to 3√2
So it is just cancelled out
Do I still have a single radical with it
wdym
It says i have to combine into single radical
Sorry I have english bad
i dont think thats possible 
are you sure u copied the problem right?
there really is no simpler term with only a singular radical
that i can find
I had tried cancelling ✓3 and I got 6✓2 from it

I need help with combinatorics.
You have a set of 5 numbers {2,3,5,7,8}
a) How many numbers of 4 digits without repeating are you able to form?
b) With the result of a. How many of them are even and how many are odd numbers?
I'm stuck at B.
separate into two cases: case 1 where the last digit must be either 2 or 8 and case 2 last digit must vs either of 3, 5, or 7
to verify, these two cases must total into (a)
btw just to check whats youe answer in (a)?
5P4 = 120
yeah thats correct
there's another way to think about it
_ _ _ _
you have 4 digits
there are 5 possibilities for the first digit, and after filling that in there are only 4 remaining for the second digit, etc...
the way we get 120 is from 5*4*3*2
ohhh so when i put the 2 at the end, there's 4 digits instead of 5
i think i get it
i will try it, thank you
so it would be 4P3 + 4P3
right?
the key here is to simply start with the ones digit
oh that's right you told me that it has to sum up 120
yeah yeah
try this way of thinking, i think it makes it easier
yes but i have to do it with my calculator
it's a requirement of my professor
i think it would be... 5+4+3 for both cases
but that won't sum up to 120
oh i get it
i don't have to think with 4 digits
i have to think with 5 because 2 can still be a part of the combination
so
5P3+5P3
and it gave me 60
that would be it, right?
no that can't be
because 2 shouldn't be repeating
ok i understood now
the sum of ALL combinations (even or odd) has to sum up to 120
so this would be ok but i have to do it with all 5 (2 even, 3 odd)
24x5=120
is that it?
48 even combinations, 72 odd combinations
that is technically correct but im not sure your prof will accept that solution 100%
well i dont know about your prof's standards
it reasons out well intuitively
but it's not very rigorous
i think that he isn't being rigorous because we are just starting with combinatorics
ah then you can just make it clear how you arrived it at that i guess
but, what is the solution that you think i should arrive at?
i would like to understand this perfectly if possible
well i would've done it intuitively too using the argument i proposed above
.
here instead of starting to fill in with the 1st digit, we should start with the last digit
because that will decide evenness/oddness of the number
so in the case of even theres 2 choices for the ones digit
and then the rest of the digits is 4 3 2
that'll be 48 even
same with odd except you start with 3 choices in the last digit, which gives 72 odd
factorial?
doing 2*4P3 and 3*4P3 might work but again idk what your profs standards are
yeah that's basically how you arrive at the P formula
so, you are saying that instead of 4P3x2 i should be doing 4x3x2 + 4x3x2
?
i have another part to the problem that i can't solve either
c) how many of those numbers are minor than 5000?
oh i guess i would have to use 2 and 3 as the first digits because 5 7 and 8 would give a number major than 5k
ok, i think that my question was resolved. thank you very much hskthca

Hello. I don't understand why if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal, it must be no particular shape and could be an isosceles trapezoid, rectangle, or a square.
In addition, if a quadrilateral has one right angle, it must be no particular shape and could be a quadrilateral. Why is the answer "could be a quadrilateral" when it says that the shape is a quadrilateral in the question?
Thanks for your help.
@pure berry Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Yes all those shapes you mentioned have equal length diagonals
But there are other quadrilaterals without equal diagonals
Why isn't the answer must be an isoceles trapezoid and could be a rectangle or square?
Because don't both rectangles and squares fit isoceles trapezoid's definition
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal, doesn't it have to be an isoceles trapezoid at the very least then?
No
Do you consider squares and rectangles isosceles trapezoids?
Oh I guess it's not universal
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_trapezoid
In Euclidean geometry, an isosceles trapezoid (isosceles trapezium in British English) is a convex quadrilateral with a line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides. It is a special case of a trapezoid. Alternatively, it can be defined as a trapezoid in which both legs and both base angles are of equal measure, or as a trapezoid whose d...
Depends on your teacher's convention then
My teacher does
I think
Because according the textbook we use, quadrilaterals → trapezoids → (I believe isoceles trapezoid should be here) → parallelogram
So, according to the convention I am using, it should be:
Must be: isoceles trapezoid
Could be: squares + rectangles
@pure berry Has your question been resolved?
I don't understand what you're trying to convey with these arrows
Let's use circles
So quadrilaterials is the big group
And the trapezoids fall into the category of quadrilaterals
And then isoceles trapezoids fall in the category of trapezoids
And then parallelograms fall into the category of isoceles trapezoids
And etc.

Hello, I'm trying to factorise a quadratic question and I'm unsure of what to do next. The example question is confusing me. I'll show the question I'm doing and the example question in just a moment
okie dokie
,rccw

you split it into -8 and 2
Ye
but theyre supposed to multiply to 16, not -16
oops nvm, im blind
ignore that lol
so whats up
i was looking at the top right
Oh ok
I'm stuck on the last step if you see the example questions
do you know what it is theyre doing in the last steps?
I don't see any problem
I believe their factorising but I'm not sure...
youre completely right
Their isn't a problem
Moreover, if you factored out the 2 at the start, this would just be the "Big X Method", and not the "AC Method"
I'm stuck on the last step and don't know how to continue doing the question
I'm not sure what u mean
imagine the x-4, for visual purposes is just P
then you have 2xP+2P
does that look easier to factorise
im not sure what happened there
Yeah that doesn't make sense nvm
maybe P was a bit of an odd choice
2xy+2y, is probably more standard looking
Is x times or x?
Kk
Wait
Oh so I just literally times 2x and 2 by the brackets in front of them?
Wait no
more that youre just factoring out the entire bracket
I must be thinking of rational expressions
Oh so I put the things outside in a bracket and the x - 4 in another bracket
yeah, in the same sense that 2xy+2y=(2x+2)y
Well okay. I think I understand how to do now. Thanks for the help!
I'll close it down

i need to find the sequence,100,62,31,15,8,4,2,1,0
are you sure u copied this correctly?
0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15 make sense as they seem to describe the sum of the tribonacci numbers (having looked at OEIS), but starting from 31 this stops being anything that is consistent

Given that $\tan(\theta)=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $\sec(\theta) < 0$ what quadrant is the function in?
BlazeStorm81
I'm leaning towards either 2 or 4 because cosine is negative there but I don't know how to decide between them
where is tangent negative?
also this is incorrect
either 2nd or 4th
2nd or 3rd quadrant
oh so it has to be in the second quadrant because thats the only place where tan and cosine can be negative together right?
yep :D

this is the second time i see this type of question and second time it appear as a wrong answer. i calculated probability of (odd + even) numbers and found B yet book says correct answer is D. what do you think?
You also have to calculate the probability of having even + odd
Well there's 3 ways to get an even product
no i didn't mean that
if the question was asking me to find probability of it being an odd number when i do not sum but multiplication would i still need to do odd x odd twice
or maybe remove squares but if it's {1,3} do i still need to take probability of {3,1} too?
nah just odd*odd once
like example if we choose from 1 to 4
1+2, 1+4, 3+2, 3+4, 2+1, 2+3, 4+1, 4+3 are all odd
Every odd+even and every even+odd
i remember it being something like for example C(5,1) x C(4,1) and multiply it with 2! as it represent numbers arrangement
alright so 3x1 is still taken despite there is 1x3
yeah
the first time you choose any odd and the second time you choose any odd though
It's not a duplicate calculation that's just one of the 4 ways to do that
but yes you take them both
yea makes sense when you think it as a list
but 3+4 is not the same sum as 4+3
The reason why not is that every sum needs to be equally likely
Like if you flip two coins, you're more likely to get 1 head and 1 tails then 2 heads
like when thinking as lists from function as i remember logic goes as parent of number 1 is 2 and parent of number 2 is 1 but when it's the same number one is parent and it can't be listed twice
right logic here?
Maybe I can't really understand
wait
i think it's called venn scheme?
anyway i better move away for this before i further confuse myself
i'll keep this in mind
thank you for helping

Given:
- Circle C1 of radius R and its center X1, Y1.
- Set of N points P and each of their positions, where all points P are contained in circle C1 ("contained" includes the points lying on the circle's edge).
Need to prove:
- There must exist a circle C2 of the same radius R such that such that at least two points from the set of points P lie on the circle's edge, and the circle contains all other points.
I can visualize this by imagining myself "tug" on the circle, where the points are fixed, and balancing it on two other points. However, others I've discussed this with are not fully convinced and I am unsure how to prove that this is true for any set of points contained within any circle of radius R.
at least two points or exactly two points ?
at least, I'll edit it
Idk what you mean by tug, tell me if it's the following :
You make a "copy" of C1 (Let's say C2) You position C2 such that all points are in C2, but one point is on its edge (Let's say P1), you then rotate with rotate C2 on the axis of P1 such that another point gets on the edge ?
If so it seems like the proof will use the IVT
Yes, I think that gets the same idea across.
Anyhow, if that's your the idea, you might want to look at the wobbly table theorem, as i think the situations are quite similar
Also it must contain all points P
Thank you
If a point exits the circle then it means at some point it was on the edge of the circle
then just stop at this point

I tried solving this but I'm not sure I got it right I also don't know how to find it's domain
First I defined V = lwh
Then I made l = 3 -2x
and w = 2 - 2x
and finally h = x
I multiplied them out to get 4x3-10x2+6x
Is this the right thing to do for this problem?
And also how would you find domain after for this odd function

Stochastic processes:
im struggling to make sense of this little o
hi
i understand that lambda is measuring event occurences per some time, so multiplying by the distance of "t + δt" and "t" makes sense
but what about the o(δt)
i've got the definition of the little o but im not sure why it appears
so in this case we're using the 2nd one and g is just the identity function
but idk where this f(δt) = o(δt) is coming from, where is this f from
The point is that o(δt) represents a function that behaves in a certain way under a limit, namely that o(δt)/δt = 0 as δt tends to zero.
The specific form is not important
but why does it appear in the middle line here?
You need some arbitrary function that represents the probability of an event occurring more than once for large intervals that describes the nature of how it goes to zero as the interval gets small
lambda dt represents the linear part, o(dt) is the part that decays faster than linear
I'm going to leave now. But if you are still not understanding, if you take a very large interval, you are more likely to see more than 1 event.
As the length of time you are looking for an event goes down, you want the probability of observing one event decreases linearly with the size of the time window dt and the probability of observing more than one to decrease more rapidly.
You need to define your poisson process or whatever it is so that that arbitrarily small observation windows has a nonzero probability of observing 1 event and the probability of observing 2 events is essentially zero.
i see, it makes sense for the last section, i'll read up a bit more on the poisson process but i get the motivation for it now, thanks

i found the areas of AED and CDF but I cant find the area of EDF
its 2
then do you know length of CD?
so length DE is available
is [EDF] = pi-pi*sqrt(2)+pi/2
?
@upper nova
can someone confirm that the answer is 3pi - pi*sqrt(2) - 1?
<@&286206848099549185>
is this assignment?
wdym
Is 3pi - pi*sqrt(2) - 1 your answer? @upper nova
I mean if this is some kind of assignment I think I shouldnt tell you the ans
it's not a test or exam
so getting help is allowed
;-;
what have you got for area of AED and CDF?
ok ill wrtie down my working
[AED] =[CFD] = [AEC] - [COD] - [AOD] = 45/60(pi)(2^2) - 1*1/2 = 1/4(pi)(1^2_
which is pi/2 - 1/2 - pi/4
first
what is $\frac{45}{60}\pi 2^2$
Dri111
AEC?
uh
i meant 45/360
🤦♂️
cuz like the angle is 45 out of 360
and 1*1/2 is COD?
where's AOD then?
