if you defined it differently from me, then you'll need to check your definition
oh yeah, i didnt define it
but i also didn't for my other question and i got perfect on that
probably because there's only one event in consideration in those questions
yeah
but there isn't just one event here
you have an event and its complement - two events
so you need to define A first
if you want to do that, then you will need two letters per event, so I won't recommend this
would i just leave blue out/
if A is hitting red, A' is not hitting red at least once
honestly, let A be the event you want. that'd be simpler
since you want the probability of the caterpillar not being red on both attempts, why not define A as that?
okay, so a = not hitting red both attemps, a' = hitting red adleast once
yes
if i just define those variables, does it make my answer right
or do i still need to change
you'll still need to change your P(A')
P(A') itself is good, but the value is not
1/4 is not the value for P(A')
P(A)= 1 - P(A')
P(A) = 1 - 3/4
P(A) = 1/4
cuz we swapped a' and a
wouldn't this be right
first line has an extra '
P(A) = 1 - P(A')
A = not hitting red on both attemps
A' = hitting red on adleastt one attempt
P(A)= 1 - P(A')
P(A) = 1 - 3/4
P(A) = 1/4
alright, just confirming my therefore statement stays the same
change 3/4 to your new answer
3/4 chance of hitting red at least once in 2 attempts
but
that is not the event you're looking for, so
but my question is it never hitting red
^
that's why I said change 3/4 to your new answer, not change the event for which you are concluding
oh
A = not hitting red on both attempts
A' = hitting red on adleast one attempt
P(A)= 1 - P(A')
P(A) = 1 - 3/4
P(A) = 1/4
Therefore the caterpillar has a 3/4 chance of hitting red adleast once in the two attempts
this all seems good?
Therefore the caterpillar has a 3/4 chance of hitting red adleast once in the two attempts
❌
^
3/4 chance of not hitting red?
A = not hitting red on both attempts
P(A) = 1/4
Therefore the caterpillar has a 1/4 chance of hitting red adleast once in the two attempts?
Therefore the caterpillar has a 3/4 chance of hitting red adleast once in the two attempts?
im a lil confused
you are interested in the event where the caterpillar never hits red on both attempts
your conclusion should be based on this
you don't really care about the probability of the caterpillar hitting red at least once beyond the fact that you can use it as a stepping stone to find the answer probability
ok, the catterpillars probability of never hitting red on both attempts is 1/4
therefore the catterpillars probability of never hitting red on both attempts is 1/4
last confirmation,
A = not hitting red on both attempts
A' = hitting red on adleast one attempt
P(A)= 1 - P(A')
P(A) = 1 - 3/4
P(A) = 1/4
Therefore the caterpillar has a probability of 1/4 of never hitting red on both attempts.
at least*, not adleast, but yes
alternatively
you could have just realized that if the caterpillar isn't going red, then it has to go blue both times, so (1/2)^2 = 1/4
you could have checked your answer against this
but nps either way

Can someone help me with this? Im not sure where to start.

Please don't repeatedly close and claim a new channel with the exact same question. This erases all previous progress made towards your problem and is confusing for helpers, making it more difficult to help you. Please be patient, even if your channel has not received much attention.
<@&268886789983436800> spam
@winter elbow oh wait did you move channels bc of a spammer
no other guys trolling he actually need help
no phillip was at other ppl's channel, therefore I redirected them here.
Can I please get help
I'm guessing no one else has dealt w this so uh
@thick ravine don't spam in help channels, #chill exists if you want to shit post
Okay so there are 6 turning points right as we counted

I'll start off, so that we don't waste a round trip.
For a) write a possible function for the graph. It will be easiest to write this in terms of the zeroes of the polynomial.
Any degree n polynomial can be written as f(x) = a(x-r1)(x-r2)...(x-rn), where the ri are the roots of the polynomial
(where the ri are counted with repetition, for instance the 3rd root from the left looks like a repeated root. Are there others?)
Ping me if you swing on back
And sorry about the trolling earlier on in your help channel
@restive yacht Has your question been resolved?
Its okay I think I found the solution to f(x)= 1/4(x+1)x^3(x-2)^2(x-3)
@restive yacht you can omit the 1/4
(the question specified this)
But otherwise this looks good to me
Did you need further help?
No thank you very much though i genuinely thought no one was gonna help
Sometimes it can take a second.

i cant seem to figure out how to evaluate this
i get indeterminant forms when i follow along x=0 and y=0
and i dont think polar coordinates would make this better
i did make:
$$
(y^2)(1-cos^2(x))/(x^4+y^4)
$$
saini
which gets me no where anyways
What happens when you go along x=y?
Are you even sure that an answer exists?
i mean i checked along x=0 and y=0 and it seems to exist
spoiler
unless maybe i did ti wrong
It needs to exists on every path to (0,0)
including x=y

Hey. I am playing Pokemon TCG. In this game, you sometimes have to flip a coin, heads or tails are the outcomes. How do I calculate the chance you flip 1 or 2 heads in 3 coin flips, as an example?
,w binomial theorem
You can use probability here
Let's say we flip one coin
We can either get heads or tails
So total outcomes are 2
Now we want heads
So "favourable" outcomes is 1
P(event) = favourable outcomes / total outcomes
So it is 1/2 for one heads
@coral mulch do you follow?
I am sorry. I am very bad at maths. I am trying to follow. :).
So 50 percent chance for the correct outcome
Yup
Also one way to do such questions is to write all the outcomes
As it's coin tossing the number of outcomes will be less
So you have H or T
Now if we flip two coins we will have HH, HT, TH, TT
total four outcomes
Can you tell me the total outcomes for 3 flips?
Do you get this?
Yes, because you flip 2 coins those are the possible outcomes. But in Pokemon you flip 1 coin each time. So it would be H, T per flip.
Yes
But flipping coins one after the other and flipping them simultaneously is the same thing
True
Hence
So there is actually only 1 outcome that is not good, if you want atleast 1 heads.
The TT
Yup
So does that mean it is 75 percent chance ?
Yes, 75% chance for atleast one head out of 2 flips
Ahh. Makes sense!
Nicee
So with 3 coins. It would be; HHH. HHT. HTT. TTT?
You have missed a few cases
We can see here that HT and TH are technically the same
Yes
Ahh. Yes. Sorry.
Npp
Is there a way to easily count how many probabilities there are?
Because with 3 coins and order, there are a lot.
HHH
HHT
HTT
HTH
THH
TTH
THT
These are the ones I found. Is this correct?
Oh and TTT
You missed one
Yes absolutely
Now count the ones with one or two H
And you have your answer
Ahhh. I get it now.
Amazing. Thanks! 🙂

when do we use this
As in when that is < 0 or
It's just that 2 ln 2 > 0 and -1 < 0
So a positive number and a negative number multiplied becomes < 0 ?
yea i uderstand multiplying them will give me something negative
but like
hows it heloing my question
I think they're trying to show that the function in [1,2] intersects the x-axis
That's one of the hypothesis of Bolzano's theorem
- continuity
- opposite signs at a and b
Or sth
OH intermentent value theorem
I think the IVT they put means intermediate value theorem
olayyy aka there will be aroot
That's why they did the stuff above
Bolzano’s theorem is like intermediate value theorem but only for f(x)=0
ahhh
Exactly, if the function is continuous on [a, b] and f(a)f(b) < 0, then it's guaranteed f(x) has a root in (a, b)
okay so what will the f(1) f(2) being negative give me here
understood okay
maybe they're trying to prove they have opposite signs
As in F(1) and F(2)
No problem

hey i dont really understand a part of this solution, when they say the fundamental solns are the real & complex part of one of the solutions. how do we know this?
The space of solutions is a 2 dimensional vector space over R
And if you have a solution both the real and imaginary parts of it will be solutions (since the matrix has real entries)
oh is that a known theorem i could look at
This should have been a theorem if you are in an ODE class
yeah i get that, but why does that imply the real and imaginary parts are solutions themselves
Plug the solution in the form
Re(x) + i * Im(x) instead of x into the equation x'=Ax. And if you will equate the real and imaginary parts of your equation you will get that both real and imaginary parts are solutions.
ohhh got you okay. so as long as theyre independant we're sorted
Yep

Hello, I got an easy question; Is s*t considered to be a linear combination of s and t? or is it only addition that counts?
usually when we talk about linear combinations multiplication isn't even defined
and when it is, linear combination are sums with coefficients in your base field/ring
oh I see. So I can't use that to prove that if GCD(st, s+t, s-t) = 1 then GCD(s,t) = 1 right?
oke oke
wait
this was in the context of a vector space/module
I was only speaking abt naturals lol
contradiction works great here
because if d divides both s and t then it divides st,s+t,s-t
I mean I suppose that (s,t)= 1 and i get that we have the negation, but why would it necessarily mean that that is the only case where st, s-t, s+t share a divisor?
contradiction would be to assume s,t share a positive divisor
i.e. that gcd(s,t) is not 1
yes thats what I started with
and i ended up that (st,s-t,s+t)=/ 1
but why would it mean that if (s,t)=1 then (st,s-t,s+t) also =1 always?
it doesn't
Im not good with logic
lol dont stick your nose where you arent sure
but it doesn't follow from what we did before
but it's not what the problem was asking you to prove
he is right
so it's fine
ohhhh
I knew something was wrong with it
so what is the way to prove such a thing?
the other direction?
starting from (st, s-t,s+t)=/1?
this means there is some shared divisor
i think it would make sense
yes
but if we prove that that happens only if (s,t)=/1
yes
so the negation must mean that (s,t)=1? or still no?
were tryna figure it out broski chill
yeah
it makes sense to start from (st, s+t, s-t)=/ 1
thanks for the input
thank you for helping i was stuck at ts for three days

Could someone help me figure out what I am supposed to do here? Cause I somehow was able to solve a from ex.6 (resulting in D=arcsin (3/7.26) *(365/2pi) + 80) but when I do the same for question b and c it all goes south. I also have no idea how to solve ex.7, I hate trig with all my heart
bro you how good are you in trig
someone help
good
wait, are there 2 people here trying to use the same chat
yep lol
gooood
why?
could you help me a bit here
uhhh good luck then, I've been stuck on this excericse for a week now
easy bro
you are my only other hope
are you good at trig?
how did you get 3/7.26 may i ask
i think ex7 a is 2π/3, 4π/3
cosx = -1/2
unless that was for b
you are right it's wrong
but wtf I got the right result
ok thank you so much I'm gonna check now
,w solve 2pi/365 (D-80) =kpi for D
you got that?
how do i use it?
btw I did a mistake that was the operation i tried for the b answer but I got wrong results
H = 15 so, sin θ = (15 − 12)/7.26 = 3/7.26 = 0.413
for a I did D-80=kpi*(365/2pi)
ohhh okok
Let alpha = arcsin(0.413) ≈ 0.425 rad.
why the 15-12 in the brackets tho?
here i mean
each year (two per cycle)
theta = α ⇒ D = 80 + (365/2π)·α = 80 + 58.091·0.425 = 104.7
theta = π − α ⇒ D = 80 + 58.091·(π − 0.425) = 237.9
and that's for b right?
That 12 is the baseline number of daylight hours in Edinburgh (roughly the equinox)
tthe 7.26 is the amplitude shows that maximum daylight swings about 7.26 hours above or below the baselinee
yaa
oh right
easy example bro
number comes straight from the scaling between radians and days
theta=2pi/365 * (D−80)
365 / 2pi
ohhh ok
Could you please help with excericse seven pleasee
I'm doing Math AA SL oat the IBDP

1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
Can you work out the number of minutes between each time that’s written on the question
0 mins, 90 mins, and 300 mins?
at 0 mins the height of the candle was $x$, at 90 mins it was $x-3$ and at 300 minutes it was $0$
Médicis
yep
(So the question is asking if over 90 minutes the candle melts 3cm, how much does it melt after 300)
Use velocity=distance/time
Weird to use speed here but it is “moving”
You know the velocity is constant
so in 90 its 3
in 300 its 0
im confused
Sorry I meant over the 300 minutes how much it melts not after
i dont know because we dont know what the original height is
It melts 3cm in 90 minutes, how long does it take to melt 1cm?
30
Okay, so it melts at 1cm/30 minutes
,calc 300/30
Result:
10
,calc 10*1
Result:
10
Yeah that’s the answer
for original?
Yes
im a bit
let me see
wait im confised
confused*
in 30 min 1 cm melts
so in 300 min 10 cm melts
but in 300 min everything is gone
okay i got it

can someone help out with these
I know I got most if not all these wrong
and idk how to finish 15
I’ve got 14 a b and
C
I just don’t understand 15
do you know what the normal line looks like?
perpendicular of the tangent line
I think I got this
since this is just perpendicular of the tangent
we get -2
and that’s just the answer I’m pretty sure?
that is correct, but how do you know it's -2?
just take the opposite reciprocal of 1:2
1/2
-2
and then -2 would just produce a straight line I’m 99% sure
or wait actually I’m not sure about that
since it’s linear wouldn’t it just have the same slope at each point
yesss because the slope remains constant at each point

sorry i disappeared
yes, thats good reasoning
you should also mention that, since the line is parallel to the normal, the normal also has a slope of 1/2
then you can do your calculation

can someone explain this vector question to me
is this not the diagram
how do we find out the angles thats the part
and i dont get the questions answer why is it so different
for my part 1
your target vector is 20m/s south
i drew that similar diagram to what they gave but instead my current arrow was facing the other way
yes
this already looks wrong. this looks like your target vector is 20m/s at an angle
it's not. it's 20m/s due south
if so, then the number 20 should be on the pink line
why is it on the sloped line
because like doesnt tehq uestion ask what would they need to compensate
to get to the pink line
is it not so that the 20 goes on the slope?
yes, but the target is 20km/h south
so the 20km/h belongs to the target
not to whatever speed you need to compensate with
hm so i switch that up
also
the current is flowing from the southwest and not to the southwest
in your diagram your current vector seems to be pointing southwest
it should point northeast, as seen in the solution
okay let me redraw it and do it
wait so basically the diagram is correct
the answers
the solution diagram you mean?
yes

I have trouble matching my answers from inertial and non-intertial frame
Show your work?
When I observe from the ground, displacement = 1/2 * (10) * (0.2* 0.2) = 0.2m
(because it would be in free fall)
When I observe from inside the elevator, I have displacement = 1/2 * (2) * (0.2 * 0.2) = 0.04m
both answers are correct..its just that one is relative to ground and other is relative to elevator
I have tried making sense of it by including the displacement of the elevator in that time
ok what did u get the displacement of the elevator as
yes so 0.24m-0.2m = 0.04..which matches what u got from inside elevator
so what would have been the 0.04m point from the inside the elevator actually displaces by -0.24m as well
so net displacement would be -0.20m
is that line of reasoning correct?
yes i think its correct but avoid the negative sign its confusing..we use the negative sign when the displacement happens in opposite direction to the acceleration
Okay, i have another confusion
ye?
If i were to use relative velocities and accelerations and set the elevator at rest and then find displacement, how would that work with these numbers?
This is what has me confused, it doesnt seem to work out
huh so u want to work with relative velocity in a non inertial frame?
yes
wdym?
in relative velocity..what will u take the velocity relative to
cause in acceleration our reference is gravity
im not sure i understand
ok see in the elevator frame here
u took acceleration as 2 right?
Yes
why did u do so
net acceleration after considering pseudoforce
yes so the pseudoforce occured because we have to consider gravitys acceleration right
i dont understand. wouldnt that be included in the elevator's net acceleration (12m/s^2)
WAIT WRONG CHAT
no
that is the elevators acceleration given to us in the question
but our object here is not the elevator it is the block
ok bro i have to go now sorry..
i hope i helped

so $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i \frac{1}{2}^i$?
wai
yupp
Yea
you mean p?
Here I'll just compute E(X_n) for now
um.. ig it'd be easier if you compute expectation of one step first and then multiply it by n
I don't think it scales like that , does it
It in fact does
if you dont think so, then try using summation of each step
By linearity of expectation
you'll see it scales up
The final position is the sum of what you do in n steps
yea
So it's the sum of n identical random variables
um.. no
You can calculate the expectation of one of them and then multiply by n
iid random variables sorry
$\sum_{i=1}^{n} (\sum_{j=0}^{n} p^{n-j} (-1)^{j}(1-p)^{j})$

wai
there we go, I think this works?
Uh what does that calculate to
I think the outer sum is unncessary on further thought, I'll compute the rest
yea, this is going to be messy
Do what we suggested instead lol
Every step is -1 with probability p and +1 with probability 1-p
so n(1-2p)
this
I've forgotten how to calculate bernoulli expectation
I'm using this
Yeah that should be it
Cool
Thanks both of y'all!
That's it for now !( I'll solve my problem sheets now that I've read the theory and then go through this book, as it's not the easiest)

why is it not
t = d/s
10/60 = 1/6 hrs
15/60 = 1/4 hrs
1/6 + 1/4 + 5 min = 6/12 = 1/2 hrs, so 12:30pm
probably something related to the post train
but it asks for the express arrival so i'm confused
correct answer is D
You have to wait for the post train to get to Layton station
but why
i thought this too at first
but then it says laydon has two seperate tracks
ah so they can arrive at the same time
ok

hi can simeoine heklo me with this
idk how to prove
@simple musk sorry i went iut but tysm for your help i rlly appreciate it
what part
C
general = homogenous + particular, have you ever heard this?
say "y" is the solution to the homogeneous system (Ay = 0), and say "z" is a solution to the system Az = b, then A(z + λy) = b because
A(z + λy) = Az + A(λy) = Az + λ.Ay = Az + 0 = b
oh, mb
oh
this is waht part a) says
think about how you could apply (a)
the set of solutions of Ax = 0 consists of infinitely many xh lying on that line
ill let u figure out the rest
never
ius this to c
it's basically what part a) does, try applying it (perhaps to find at least one other solution of Ax = b)
can u guys help w c first
i got a and b
im genuineluy confused w the wording for c
the set of all solutions of the system Ax = b, is given by the line λ.y + x
where x is the particular solution to Ax = b and y is the homogenous solution , Ay = 0, so basically, we have a line that passes through x, but we move in the direction y, but for this you have to see the tip of the vector x1 as a point call it P, where x1 is a vector made out of P - (0,0,0)
i really dont understand
sorry
im so confused
whyre we making it as point p
a line is made out of a point and a direction vector, in this case we want that the whole set of solutions is λ.y + x right? where y is the homogenous solution and x is the point the line passes through
i thouht A(x1) would look smth like this
because if A is a matrix isnt it just a transformation (scalar multiple) of x1
idk what a homogenous solution is
😭
just, the solution to a system Ax = 0
okay
that makes sense
okay so that part i understood
so A(xh) = 0
just dont get what it means by A(x) = b
what is b and what is x omg
x is the solution to the system Ax = b
what is b exactly
😭
does b = 0??
so if A is 2x2, then x is 2x1 and b is 2x1
b is not zero
otherwise x is a solution to the homogeneous system
oh
wait
can you come back to this in a sec
my friend needs help
on this
😭
b
lemme try to digest everything you said abt c first
you want to find the matrix representation ?
i dont get how to prove it
but yea
i thought i just
solve the matrix
solve for x and y
@simple musk
both lines needs to pass through the origin
and be non parallel
what I am saying is that, if this two non parallel lines pass through the origin, such that their direction vectors are non parallel (aka not linearly dependent), then we can form a basis of R2 out of them
where this basis of R2 is made out of the direction vector of L1 and the direction vector of L2
@patent phoenix Has your question been resolved?
for b) if you see the line L1 as a parametrization we get
x = t
y = 3t + 5
then we get
L : (x,y) = (t, 3t + 5) = t(1,3) + (0,5)
but that only considers one of the lines
tho
also like
is there no way of getting 2 lines into matrix form
like n x m matrix
@simple musk
well a line that passes through the origin (0,0)=(x,y) can be represented as a subspace, say for example L : (x,y) = λ(1,2) + (0,0), is represented as the subspace <(1,2)>
also, we are not trying to get the lines into matrix form, but like, we are trying to find the matrix representation of the projection T(v) = v1
@patent phoenix Has your question been resolved?
ok, so for a) we have two lines, L1 and L2 that literally, have a direction vector and a point that they pass through, say for example L1 : (x,y) = t.(1,3) + (0,5), the point they passes through is (0,5), so if a vector v1 is in L1, then it must be a multiple of (1,3), now say L2 : y = 2x + 7 , such that x = t and y = 2t + 7, then (x,y) = (t, 2t + 7) = t.(1,2) + (0,7), so we found that L2 : t.(1,2) + (0,7), then if v2 is in L2, then v2 is a multiple of (1,2), having said that, since we know {(1,2), (1,3)} forms a basis because they are linearly independent (they are non parallel, both are not multiples of each other), we get a basis of R2, so we can represent every vector in R2 as a linear combination of this two, right?
for b), we will reuse the parametrisation of both of this lines, so
L1 : (x,y) = t.(1,3) + (0,5)
L2 : t.(1,2) + (0,7)
Now, they are talking again about v1 and v2, where v1 is a vector in L1 and v2 is a vector in L2
basically we need to re use the approach from a) that we have a basis of R2
call this basis of R2, call it, B = {(1,2), (1,3)}
@patent phoenix
we are tasked to find [T]_{std->std}
so that matrix is findable by doing
[T]_{std -> std} = [id]_{std->std} * [T]_{B -> std} * [id]_{std -> B}
which is then simplified to
[T]_{std -> std} = [T]_{B -> std} * [id]_{std -> B}
which is then simplified to
[T]_{std -> std} = [T]_{B -> std} * ([id]_{B -> std})^(-1)
so we need to find the inverse of the matrix whose columns is the basis vectors of B placed as columns
and we need to find the output of T(b1),(Tb2) and place them as columns
@patent phoenix
you multiply those two together and you have your matrix rep of T wrt std -> std

What is troubling you in part c
i or ii?
both
i ->can be done using time of flight
ii ->can be done by finding the time of flight for half of the trajectory, that corresponds to the total time of flight divided by 2 and the max height can also be dealt with using formulae

How can I expand (1+x+x^2)^4
is there any beautiful formula?
Unless you feel like writing (1+x+x²) four times then probably not
the coefficient of x^n will be the number of ways to choose a,b,c,d that take values in 0,1,2 and sum to n
there is the multinomial theorem which generalizes the binomial theorem
whether you wanna call it beautiful is up to you
@sour snow has your question been answered? Is there anything else we can help you with?
So you are saying i will have to check for each powers
Multinomial theorem was in bucket
If I have terms like
(3x^2+3y^2+8xy)^4@glass heart @sour monolith
@odd fulcrum
Will the formula still works?
!noping
Please do not ping individual helpers unprompted.
It’s not a big deal for me, but many other helpers take this seriously.
multinomial works for (a+b+c+...)^n
yeah its like binomial is for (a+b)^n
just like you can use the binomial theorem for situations like (2x^3+7x^4)^17 you can also use the multinomial theorem for any situation (sum)^power
So i will have denominator factorial
(4,0,0,)(0,4,0)(0,04)
(1,1,2)(1,2,1)(2,1,1)(2,2,0)(0,2,2)(2,0,2)
So via multinomial i found there will be 9 terms
I am just checking roughly i don't need to find all the terms. I only need to count exactly
,w (3x^2+3y^2+8xy)^4 expansion
usage of multinomial theorem is needed

need help for geometry hw
Translation?
english?
yea gimme 1 sec
c'est quoi la médiatrice ?
jcrois cest la ligne qui passe par le milieu des deux points
prend ton temps c correct lol
genre je peux dire la reponse mais pour le prouver cest tuff lol
genre dans C1 et C2
ouais le cours au complet c juste des preuve😭
tse O1A + O1B cest = r
et puis O2A O2B = r
puisque A et B sont les deux point dintersection du cercles C1 C2 et centre O1 O2 avec le meme radius
ca derange tu que les cercle ne sont pas alligné
enft
sils sont alignee
je pense pas quils forment un triangle
genre ils faut quils soient pas aligne
okokok
mais estce que tu vois que par ca A B ont meme distance de O1 et O2
att je vais faire un petit brouillon
okay okay
mais comme la je fais quoi
si tajoute un troisieme cercle
estce que tu peux visualizer que
AB ce que tas dessine
est la mediatrice de O1O2
CD
sera mediatrice de O1O3
EF
sera O2O3
donc OA = Ob et O'A = O'B
tu vois quils sont equidistant de O et O'
oui
donc avec ca estceque tu peux determiner quils sont perpendiculaire tu penses
