tlog2=32logt
change it to the same base
nvm what am i even talking ab
move it to the left side
and combine
my bad i didnt actually do this question lol
theres a great video by bprp that talks ab lambert w
Let's see how to solve this strange equation x^x=2 with the Lambert W function.

fwiw, they probably want you to guess the solution ||t=256||
||its somewhat reasonable to think that if there is a nice solution, then it might have the form t=2^k. plugging it in quickly gives k=8||
are you still solving the original 2^t=t^32? cuz i'm getting a very different solution
indeed, plot it to desmos give us more than 1 solution
Bro
okay, sorry. I'm getting two very different solutions
Wolfram uncle and desmos aunty is not allowed to enter in exam hall
they must mean the integer one
is a calculator allowed in the exam hall?
!original
What?
I guarantee that you are not asked for all solutions
True
So you can safely assume t=2^k
or any of the ugly ones
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
but... it has two. And neither is nice
lambert w
in fact if u plot this in there's no integer solutions
there is....
Dena literally wrote it
Why do you use calculators?
your calculator cant handle big numbers like that
im using desmos
that's not how that works vro
well you need to zoom out further at least
the trend tells me it's not gonna do a u-turn
you didn't zoom out far enough
it will
isnt happening
the y value for x=256 is about 1.15*10^77
2^256 is an incredibly large number
you're not zooming far enough to see that
you know what
my bad im wrong
i zoomed all the way up to 5x10^60 and i realised the gap was minimising
fucks sake is this fucking malarkey question
@deft tangle DROP THE CLASS
honestly my first approach if with calculator would be numerical approximation for the small positive one
Dude. No.
londoners 💔
its entirely reasonable to guess t=2^k
id assume half of the people here comes from either london or new york

$\frac{f(a-u)+f(u)-f(u)}{f(a-u)+f(u)} = 1 - \frac{f(u)}{f(a-u)+f(u)}$
Ann
add both of the integrals tgt
with
u will get 2I = integral from 0 to a of smth dx
ok no more hints lmao
[ \int_a^b f(x) \dd x +\int_a^b g(x) \dd x = \int_a^b f(x) + g(x) \dd x]
k
one is dx and one other du
k
@kind viper @subtle helm thx for both help, hope i did ok
works too ye
i would do
[ I + I = \int_0^a \frac{f(x) + f(a-x)}{f(x) + f(a-x)} \dd x = \int_0^a \dd x = a]
So, ${2I = a \implies I = \frac{a}{2}}$
k
u did it without the u=a-x?
since it is =I so I+I goes 2f(x)/f(x)+f(a-x)
how u got f(x)+f(a-x) in the numerator ?
wdym
we've shown that
[ I = \int_0^a \frac{f(x)}{f(x) + f(a-x)}\dd x = \int_0^a \frac{f(x-a)}{f(x) + f(a-x)}\dd x]

A company makes a mean monthly income of $20,300 with a standard deviation of $3,200. In one given month, the company makes $29,500. What percent of the time does the company make between $15,000 and $25,000? (i can't believe i'm asking for help on statistics, but here i am)
do i use z-scores or something? idk
uhh let me see
yes. can you calculate them?
yea ik how to calcuate z-scores
but idk how to use them to make the probability thing
and i can't use the empirical rule because the z-scores aren't integers
oh uh the formulas are extremely complex and unless this is a high-level college statistics course you likely can use a chart or an online p-value calculator
okay
wait actually
its not calculable by a formula at all what am i saying
the only way to do it is by computer approximation
can you tell me how to use the p-value calcuator
i don't understand all the terms
nvm.

is it true that this equation has 2 parallel tangents that has the same gradient (0.5)?
ive found two for (0,1) and (0,-1)
but somehow teacher says theres only one tangent with gradient of 0.5
Yeah your teacher is being a muppet

is it works for pro wolfram alpha or also the free version?

in this proof, how are we knowing that b - ak will contain every element, aka natural number.
dont we need another proof for that
b - ak will contain every element, aka natural number.
wdym "contain every element"?
i think i remember seeing this exact proof posted here earlier, with this exact wording and all its flaws
as in how do i know that
lets say im taking 5
how will i know that b - ak = 5 for sure
you don't
yeah im the one with it, i was reviewing stuff lol
it's not guaranteed that $5 \in S$
Ann
then how is this working for every natural
Ann
well, yeah
i mean then, how will i prove the main statement that
b = aq + r for integers
where are you seeing S=N
from my pov it's not asserted anywhere
well i was thinking like that
now that you question it, it makes sense that it isnt
but then if, lets say 5 isnt in S
how is this proving that 5 = aq + r
or i mean
other way
.....
i have almost 0 idea what the hell you're actually trying to ask here...
would you like me to give you a restructured version of the proof which doesn't have the original's notation fuckups and language weirdness?
yes please, and let me rephrase my question, just gimme a minute
okay so S is a subset of N right
that it is
and we're trying to prove that b = aq + r
and b can be any integer
now we're taking the set S such that b - ak is an element and b - ak > 0
so just imagine that S is {2,3,4}
so taking 2 as least element we're proving this
but as you said
5 may not be in S
so then how do i ensure that
this works for every integer
like if a subset is {5,6,7}
how do i know that b - ak can also be equal 5 for some integer b,a,k
or how do i prove so
\textbf{Theorem 2 (Division Algorithm).}
Given any integers $a, b$ with $a \neq 0$, there exist unique integers $q$ and $r$ such that $b = aq + r$ and $0 \leq r < |a|$. If $a$ doesn't divide $b$, we have $0 < r < |a|$ instead.
\textit{Proof.} The following is a step-by-step breakdown of the proof.
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
\item If $a$ divides $b$, then the theorem is satisfied with $r=0$.
\item We thus assume $a$ doesn't divide $b$, and set out to prove the theorem using the well-ordering principle.
\item To this end, define a set $S$ as follows:
$$S := { b-ak \mid k \in \bZ, b-ak > 0 }.$$
\item To apply the well-ordering principle and claim $S$ has a smallest element, we need to establish the following:
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item $S$ is a subset of the natural numbers.
\item $S$ is nonempty.
\end{enumerate}
After establishing that the smallest element of $S$ (which we'll call $r$) exists, we will need to do extra work to ensure that $r$ does what we want it to do.
\item Elements of $S$ are required to be in the form $b-ak$ (thus they are integers) and also positive. Thus is clear every element of $S$ is a natural number, and so $S \subseteq \bN$.
\item Taking $k$ such that $ak = -|ab|$ (indeed, this $k$ may be expressed more explicitly as $-\mathrm{sign}(a) \cdot |b|$), we get $$b - ak = b - (-|ab|) = b + |ab|.$$ Since $b + |ab|$ is positive, it belongs to $S$. Thus $S \neq \rien$.
\item Now that we proved that the well-ordering principle applies to $S$, let $r := \min(S)$.
\item We need to show three things:
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item $0 < r < |a|$.
\item There exists an integer $q$ such that $b = aq+r$.
\item No other pair $(q,r)$ satisfies the above two conditions.
\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
Ann
\begin{enumerate}[(1)]
\setcounter{enumi}{8}
\item To prove (8a), suppose towards a contradiction that $r > |a|$ (Clearly $r=|a|$ is not possible anyway as $a$ doesn't divide $b$). Then $r = b - ak$ for some integer $k$. But then $r - |a| > 0$ and also
$$r-|a| = b-ak-\mathrm{sign}(a)a = b - (k+\mathrm{sign}(a))a \in S,$$
and $r-|a| < r$. So $r$ is supposed to be the smallest element of $S$, yet we've found a smaller one than that. Contradiction!
\item To prove (8b), note that since $r \in S$, there exists an integer $q$ such that $b - aq = r$. From this $b = aq+r$ follows directly.
\item Now we prove (8c). To this end, suppose that there exists a different pair $(q', r')$ satisfying the conclusion of the theorem, i.e. that $b = aq+r = aq'+r'$, and $0 \leq r, r' < |a|$. We will aim to show that $q=q'$ and $r=r'$, as this will let us conclude that $(q,r)$ is indeed unique.
\item Since $aq+r = aq'+r'$, we get that $r - r' = aq' - aq = a(q'-q)$ and therefore $r-r'$ is a multiple of $a$.
\item However, as $r$ and $r'$ both lie between $0$ and $|a|-1$ inclusive, we get that $$-|a|+1 \leq r-r' \leq |a|-1.$$
\item The only multiple of $a$ in the range $[-|a|+1, |a|-1]$ is 0.
\item Thus $r-r'=0$ and so $r=r'$.
\item from $r=r'$ and $aq+r = aq'+r'$ and $a \neq 0$ we get that $q = q'$ too.
\item This proves uniqueness, and thus the theorem.
\end{enumerate}
Ann
so just imagine that S is {2,3,4}
{2,3,4} is not something that S can ever be.
you're definitely overthinking it somehow.
i don't know how to address your overthinking
so im instead gonna tell you to read the 2-page, broken-down-as-much-as-i-could proof
and tell me the number of the earliest step that confuses you or demands more explanation
@fair thunder
i.e. i want you to apply the well-ordering principle on the set of all labels of the steps that confuse you if said set is nonempty
okay so every element of S is a natural number
but every natural number is not in S
and if it is empty, i.e. if you understand everything i wrote without any hitch, then tell me so
and we're proving this for set S
then how does this apply to all natural numbers then
did you read my proof y/n
yes
did you read all the steps
i did yes
ok then can you tell me the lowest step number at which you get confused
5
ok
yes, S is a subset of N and in general is a proper subset of N.
this is not an impediment to the fact that a and b are arbitrary.
"we're proving this for set S" is kind of misleading imo btw
S is a tool we use in the proof, but it doesn't dictate the scope of the proof in any way
see, im confused in this specific part
b - ak can be any integer, this is very easy to understand
but, arent we proving this exact same thing that any integer can be written in the form b - ak
so my confusion arises that how exactly are we assuming b - ak to be some integer
and even if it is, how is it following to be correct for every integer
integer as in positive integers
b - ak can be any integer, this is very easy to understand
idk how it's very easy to understand when "b-ak can be any integer" is quite false without a lot of qualifiers
arent we proving this exact same thing that any integer can be written in the form b - ak
no we aren't.
i mean we're considering b,a,k to be integers
you say the earliest step number which confuses you is 5. this implies you understand steps 1-4 inclusive, correct?
yes
yes so
we're planning to use the WOP
WOP says "any nonempty subset of N has a smallest element"
our goal then will be to introduce some kind of subset of N that has something to do w our problem
and then do some shit to its smallest element
i understand the whole proof what youre doing
im confused as to how is this proof following over to all integers
step 3 introduces the subset we're working with
step 4 sets out to prove that it is the kind of set WOP deals with
right
steps 5 and 6 prove the two sub-goals outlined in 4
right
step 8 outlines the goals for showing this r really is the r that we want
im confused as to how is this proof following over to all integers
i have no idea what this is supposed to mean, i'm sorry.
theyre probably still hung up on "b-ak can be any integer"
this proof, its supposed to work for, lets take N for now
so this statement will work for
1,2,3,4,....
right?
now we're proving for the set S, this is true
BUT, set S may not contain 5?
so thats where im stuck
or is it that, for proving it for 5
we take some integers so that it IS 5
and then continue showing it works
am i correct?
like proving it for 5
we take the set to be {5,6,7,...}
and then show it works
and as a whole this proof works for every set like this
i think ur either still hung up on "b-ak can be any integer" or confused on how S is defined
oh wait
i think youre right
im having confusion with the set S definition
i was thinking set S is some integers which can be written in the form b - ak
but its b - ak elements only
god😭
okay but then how are we knowing that b - ak will be containing every integer from 1,2,3,4,....
S contains exactly all positive b-ak
like it is trivial to understand but, shouldnt there be like a, statemnt for that as well or something
or it doesnt matter if it has all natural numbers
b-ak does NOT cover all integers. u should check this by examples
u might be misunderstanding the statement of the theorem too
it says for all a,b there exist q,r
right
so in the proof a,b are arbitrary and q,r are to be constructed
lets take it slow
the remainder, which is the set S
that doesnt contain all integers
and it doesnt matter if the remainder contains all integers
cuz thats not the point
only a and b are supposed to be all integers
is that right
if b=10, a=3 then S=?
1,4,7,...
ohhhhh
im getting it now
set S depends on a and b
and for that a and b, this holds
which then proves the statement riiighhhttt
all i did is show u that S != N
sneaking in to add that if you have access to Rosen's ENT, there is an alternate version of the proof that may help you understand better
whats Rosens ENT lol
Rosen's Elementary Number Theory
THANK YOU SO MUCH THO yall
really helped a lot
thank you
oh
hopefully that got u a lil unstuck
im gonna give it a read then
now u should go thru anns outline again
yeah i got it completely now
i did get the proof before, i wasnt getting the S not equal N part thats why
but yes that is a cleaner version
btw in the future its a good habit to do lil examples to get unstuck and back on track

how to solve this question
[ E(x) = \sum xP(x)]
k
x becomes x-1
"all payouts are reduced by $1" is equivalent to "after you play the game, the dealer takes $1 from you"
think about it that way
i tried this but i got the wrong question
btw your -1 and 0 should be -2 and -1
oh thats a nice way to think about it
ye i dont understand why tho, because -1 and 0 arent payouts, the dealer dont pay anything tho
oo dam payouts can be negative?
or from breaking even to losing 1
what does payout mean
is payout the amount the dealer give to the player

what does doubling a payout mean, it means x2 for all payouts even the negative ones? doubling negative payouts means the dealer gain double?
yes
yes
oh i see, if the question was rephrased like "if all the outcomes that can be won by the player is reduced by 1, we still reduce 1 for the negative wins?"

how to do this integration
i first substituted x-->tan^2 theta
but then i got lots of rubbish which i couldnt simplify
well at least $\int \arctan(\sqrt{x}) \dd{x}$ looks like it might be less ass
Ann
or if you really want, $\int \mathrm{arc} ; ; \tan ; x \dd{x}$
yeah thats true
Ann
how to proceed from here?
uh what happened to the sqrt?
oh lmao
what to do from here
oh this was a good one , yeah converting to arctan is the way, then ibp or sub,
or directly ibp works but its quite lenghty that route
i would substitute x = u^2 first and then ibp

don't quite understand the question
so that means $-1<x_i<1$
Allen
can't I just set $x_i=-x_{i+1}$
laestia
which would imply n=2562
but ther might be a smaller value (idk, ask someone else im bad at these)
pretty damn sure n=2561 is not allowed
$x_i^2 < 1 \implies n > 2561$
Nel
So yes if you find a solution with n = 2562, you've solved it
ig I'll just set x_odd num = sqrt(2561/2562) and x_even to be additive inverse

3 orders are
1° > 2° > 3°
3° > 2° > 1°
1° > 2° > 3°
Combining these three orders together, what is the final order?
do you have the original question? i don't think i understand what this question even wants judging from the 1, 2, 3
What
you can send a screenshot of the question
If there are 3 orders as such, then if we consider all three, what would the final order be as a summary of the 3 orders
What will come first second and third
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary amines
this lowkey sounds like a biology/chemistry question
Yes it is
And this is sort of a math question
There is mathe evrywhere
well said
in that case, could you please show the original problem as it is
but wheres the context
maybe there's extra context behind the question that could help
mhm
Context as in?
wdym by the order of amines, what kind of reaction is that
cuz i don't think we can just rank these amines as if we're ranking racers or smth
An order represents how many carbons an aniline is attached to
there should be order of acidity/basicity/sn1-sn2 reaction
why not just post the original question though
It's not a reaction
oh
That is the original question
that's it? no paper, no website?
and how can three orders be combined?
It gets kinda difficult to answer your question if you don't define what you mean by those terms beforehand doesn't it
if it's a chemistry question, you can go ask in the chemistry server #old-network
Yeah im lost
most likely gonna get better help than in a maths server
if you say this is math, then i assume you're asking us to somehow rank these amines, even though i have no idea how amines can be ranked
but idw to assume, so this question is super ambiguous as it is formulated here
I think they are talking about primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines
Yes it's about ranking
i'm aware they are
Yeah well he said as in the number of carbons attatched to aniline, then again how can three inequality hold at the same time
but ranking in what sense
in the basis of what
and why are the first and third orders the same
the second order is just a reverse of the other two
so what kind of ranking is this, if it is a ranking?
My teacher made me believe that they are ranked, but I belive that basicity rankings are not calculated but rather proven experimentally
Just literally join then together, don't confuse the question
join?
Say the 3 amine are given marks
uhuh
And are arranged in 3 descending orders
Then statistically calculate what the final order might be
so in the first and third tests, we get an order of 1 > 2 > 3
None of this is clear from your question
and in the second test we get an order of 3 > 2 > 1
so if we take a mode that should be the final order
assuming by "just join" that we are to rank them by score, then i suppose the final order is 1 > 2 > 3?
Yes
1 tops the scoreboard twice and loses once
3 does the opposite
2 is just in the middle all the way
I believe range average and all those things are from statistics so this is technically a math question
im crying
other than the 1, 2, 3
we need inputs
Yeah so where are the basicity datas?
in first run it could be pH 8 > 7 > 6
then in the second run it could be pH 14 > 7 > 1
OK so what are your thoughts
well, since your question is imprecise, my answer is also gonna be as imprecise
and if you accept imprecise answers, 1 > 2 > 3
Yea thats the final order I assume
Yeah the final order can really just be anything (not really) which leads me to belive that this ain't calculated
i have no idea, this is literally your question
Im really confused
there's no data for this to be statistics, there's no numbers for this to be algebra
But there is an order that we can use to assume the numbers
and the orders arent defined properly
OK look at this for example
assume?
well
you already gave the orders
unless now order means something different
but sure, send it over
90 > 89 > 0
90 > 89 > 10
90 > 89 > 0
isn't that what i said
but that is falling into the territory of assumptions
if we wanna assume, we can literally make the final order to be anything we want
I mean what do you even mean by final order
So, Primary gets 180, secondary gets 267 and tertiary gets 100.
Which means the final order can be 2° > 1° > 3°
But on the contrary
ok ig you need inputs for that
ok, i see what you mean
primary gets 190 btw
but without data
we can't tell what is what
If it was
30 > 20 > 10
40 > 10 > 5
10 > 8> 2
Primary gets 45, secondary gets 38 and tertiary gets 52
Making it 3° > 1° > 2°
so basically
again, that's exactly what i said
my question is
So this just isn't right to assume like this
but that's what you're having us do, you know
Do you have the data set when youre asked that?
if we don't assume, there is no answer to your question. period.
otherwise the answer will vary
So maybe my teacher is wrong to tell me that this final value is due to the other 3 orders, or maybe the order she gave us that 2° > 1° > 3° is the most general order that has the most outcomes
i have no comment here
same
you gotta ask your teacher
😢
this is basically trying to do statistics but without the data
every single statistician will boo us out of the lecture hall if we try
arbitary statistics😭🙏

Let $f(x) = x^2 + 6x + c$ for all real number s$x$, where $c$ is some real number. For what values of $c$ does $f(f(x))$ have exactly $3$ distinct real roots?
Triaengle
you would presume 3 distinct real roots would be 2 distinct and 1 double root
yeah given that deg f(f(x)) = 4
@winged dock Has your question been resolved?
Will differentiating this get me anywhere ??
if g has a double root, then it is also a root of g'. so then gcd(g, g') is not 1. the gcd is easy to compute with the euclidean algorithm. tho whether its easy (and helpful) here with the c is a different question
@winged dock Has your question been resolved?
,w divide x^4 + 12x3 + (42+2c)x2 + x(36+12c) +c2 + 7c by x3 + 9x2 + (21+c)x + 3c+9
Hmmm
The value of c given by this is somehow the answer
<@&286206848099549185>
,w (x^2+6x+(11-sqrt(13))\2)^2 + 6(x^2+6x+(11-sqrt(13))\2) + (11-sqrt(13))\2 =0
@winged dock It seems like $c=\frac{11-\sqrt{13}}{2}$ is the only solution here
Alexis_Fx
please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not so sure about this
Basic function iteration?
This feels like our secondary school function question.
wait
let me think deeply
a, b, and c are all positive real numbers. Prove the following expression.
uhh, what
what's going on here
does this suppose to relate to triaengle original question?

so what the topic()
he want to solve this or go through it

okay, so
a hint is $x^2 + 6x +c =0$, when does this has 1 root?
Alexis_Fx
,w GCD x^4 + 12x3 + (42+2c)x2 + x(36+12c) +c2 + 7c by x3 + 9x2 + (21+c)x + 3c+9
you won't have to deal with differentiate here
Hmmm but wait how does that help
let u=x^2+6x+c then f(f(x))=u^2+6u+c, then it would have 2 root let say a and b then u=a and u=b one must has 1 roots and other one has 2
so we want to know how we can add -a to u so u-a=0 has 1 root
x=-3±√(6-c-+√(9-c))
by quadratic formula
we want one root to vanish, let inner root be 0 → c=9
x=-3±√(6-9±0) complex roots
let outer root be 0
6-c-+√(9-c) = 0
-+√(9-c) = c-6
9-c = c²+36-12c
c²-11c+27 = 0
c=(11±√13)/2
which gives x that you got here
you're cooking here haha, that's why you was typing for so long
1st thing, you don't need to simplify
f(x)=x²+6x+c
f(f(x)) = 0
f²(x) + 6f(x) + c = 0
f(x) = ... (by formula)
x²+6x+c = ...
again quadratic
x = ...
,w (x^2+6x+(11+sqrt(13))\2)^2 + 6(x^2+6x+(11+sqrt(13))\2) + (11+sqrt(13))\2 =0
yea that's the only lol
using Vieta, you could rule out (11+\sqrt13)\2
oh wait nvm
it can't
just make sure -(the roots) + c =< 9
you didn't understand this?

need help w/ this, i'm pretty sure the answer is 4 but i'm not good with graphs
seems right but it's an estimate
so the answer varies
yeah im not rlly sure tbh
Generally they have a range for acceptable answers
my school is insanely specfic tbh..
im rlly confused on this aswell but i kinda just guessed and i think its 2.75??
tamika's time is 2.75 in the second meet
ashlyn's time is 3.0 in the second meet
where would they have the same time in the meet then.. it feels like a trick question cause i have like 3 questions with that same graph
which meet do you think that is

how do I prove this implication
does the implication is a synonym for subseteq?

you are supposed to show that Bn C subset (A symm diff B)^c. and somewhere along the way you are allowed to use that C subset A
its just a normal inclusion proof
so how do I do it?
where you are allowed to use an extra property
let x in BnC
I need handhold
Hii renato
Omg LETSGOOOO congrats
Welcome to the club
Take an element x from B intersection C. Note that x is in C. Thus by assumption x is in A.
x in BnCnA
? the complement of the symdiff?
A symdiff B = (A - B) U (B - A)
yeah to show that x is in the complement of that set, you need to show that it is not in A-B and not in B-A
To show that x is in (A symdiff B)^C, you need to show that x is not in A symdiff B.
To show that x is not in A symdiff B, you need to show that x is not in A - B and not in B - A
you are so right, im so stupid jajjaa
I was overcomplicating everything
how?
With respect to what are you taking your complement?
To define a complement you require a superset, say D
With respect to V?
yes
Welp, ok
That's not the universal "set" then, though
Y por cierto, hablo Español si lo prefieres
Bueno, primero, el que no sea necesariamente cierto ya es un cambio
it is
@full moat @magic wren
En matemáticas, principalmente en teoría de conjuntos y lógica de clases, un conjunto universal es un conjunto formado por todos los objetos de estudio en un contexto dado. Por ejemplo, en aritmética los objetos de estudio son los números naturales, por lo que el conjunto universal para este caso puede ser el conjunto de los números natura...
In set theory, a universal set is a set which contains all objects, including itself. In set theory as usually formulated, it can be proven in multiple ways that a universal set does not exist. However, some non-standard variants of set theory include a universal set.
@full moat @full moat
Bueno, está bien, pero por lo general V es la clase propia de los conjuntos, V={x:x=x}
Assume x is in A-B. Since x is in A, we see that x is not in B. This is a contradiction. Thus x is not in A-B.
Igualmente, dame un segundo para que intente tu problema, no debería ser terrible
Ok gracias gordo
wdym?
If you have an element of A-B, and that same element is an element of A, then it cannot be an element of B
because if it were, we would have an element in A-B that is in both A and B
To show that x is in (A symdiff B)^C, you need to show that x is not in A symdiff B.
To show that x is not in A symdiff B, you need to show that x is not in A - B and not in B - A
yes
To show that x is not in A symdiff B, you need to show that x is not in A - B and not in B - A
how does that follow?
you need to show that x is not in A - B and not in B - A
@magic wren
,, A \triangle B = (A-B) \cup (B-A)
Renato
how did the and appear
it should be an or
@magic wren
Ok, ya está
A - B U B - A <=> x is an element of that set if it is in A-B or B-A
Negating that statement gives
x is an element of that set if [neg (it is in A-B or B-A) ]
<=> x is an element of that set if it is not in A-B and not in B-A
de morgan's laws
Notemos que (AΔB)^c=V\ ((AUB)\ (A∩B))
,, A \triangle B = (A-B) \cup (B-A)
\ (A \triangle B)^c = (A - B)^c \cap (B-A)^c
Renato
yes
Lo que a su vez implica (AΔB)^c=(V(AUB))U(A∩B)
then what stipdendi
<=> x is an element of that set if it is not in A-B and not in B-A
ok I get that
then this
recall that x is in A B and C
so what?
contradiction
Luego sea x∈B∩C, se tiene que C⊆A, luego (x∈B)^(x∈C), mas esto implica (x∈B)^(x∈A), luego x∈A∩B⊆(AΔB)^c
?
Y ya está
The contradiction comes from this
The assumption that x is in A-B was false
can you guys put the proof in a full message and not in between messages
I am getting lost for a sec
though I appreciate the help I am being provided
Alright, I'll condense what I said in one message
Note that: (AΔB)^c=V\ ((AUB)\ (A∩B))
This then implies that: (AΔB)^c=(V \ (AUB))U(A∩B)
Thus let x∈B∩C, note that (x∈B)^(x∈C), but C⊆A, however, this implies (x∈B)^(x∈A), so finally we get x∈A∩B⊆(AΔB)^c
In case the notation is a little too messy, the key here is realizing that B∩C⊆B∩A, and that necessarily B∩A is in the complement
Given: C subset A
Show: B n C subset (A symdiff B)^c
Take x in B n C.
x is in C.
By assumption x is in A.
(A symdiff B)^c = ( (A-B) u (B-A) )^c
= (A-B)^c n (B-A)^c
Show: (1) x is not in A-B and (2) x is not in B-A.
(1) x is in A and x is in B (we deduced in the beginning). Thus x in A-B is impossible, and therefore x not in A-B.
(2) x is in A and x is in B (we deduced in the beginning). Thus x in B-A is impossible, and therefore x not in B-A.
Therefore x in (A-B)^c n (B-A)^c.
Therefore x in (A symdiff B)^c.
Therefore B n C subset (A symdiff B)^c, which was to be shown.
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE THAT X IS IN B - A
perfect

help! i factored the denominator and got it correct. but i expanded x^2-9 into x^+6x-9. i then factored it into (x-3)^2. where did i go worng
did you mean the denominator? x^2 - 9 is the numerator
oh yea my mistake
yeah then the numerator is a difference of squares if you recall the formula for that
If you wanted to expand $x^2-9$ to $x^2+6x-9$, there are two mistakes. 1. you missed the $-6x$, since $$x^2-9=x^2-9+6x-6x=x^2+6x-9-6x$$ 2. you still can't factorize, since $$x^2+6x-9 \neq (x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9$$
when you turned it into x^2 + 6x - 9 you added a 6x but didn't subtract it
Good
Recall $$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$$ which is what the solution did.
Good

i understand how the numerator is converted to a/1 but im confused how the denominator is able to be rearranged like that?
as in what way?
how does (1/b)+c be rewritten as 1+bc/b
(\frac1b+c=\frac1b+\frac{bc}b=\frac{1+bc}b)
PajamaMamaLlama
no sorry could you explain it a little more. are you saying since the c is multiplied by b in the numerator the b in the denominator gets cancelled out
yes, but we're doing it backwards
because we can only add fractions if they have the same denominator
we introduce the extra b term on top and bottom
ohhhhhhh ok
so the last step is algebraically valid
im sorry im a little fuzzy on how equations can be manipulated in these manners
all good

u might simplify more

Hello!
So I have a function
f(x) = x^2 - 6
And got reflected by
y = x
The reflection is g(x)
Both f(x) and g(x) intercept at A and B
The question is asking A and B coordinate
since y = x
I just need to change
y = x^2 - 6
Into
x = x^2 - 6
And then factor it
X = x^2 - 6
0 = x^2 - x - 6
(x-3)(x+2)
So It's
A ( 3, 3 )
B ( -2, -2 )
-
Why i can do that? Why i can change y = x^2 - 6 Into x = x^2 - 6
-
Or maybe, this is actually false?
-
I need better understanding of this y = x reflection intercept. Maybe drawing or make another example could help
Thank you!
Why i can do that? Why i can change y = x^2 - 6 Into x = x^2 - 6
Simple enough to see, you already know that the specific points that you are looking for are on the line y=x
so for evey such point, you have the same x and y co-ordinates, so to find the specific values, you can easily replace y with x (since both are equal)
However, do note that it wont be true in general. This is possible only in this case since the line is y=x. If it were some different line, say 3y = 2x + 4, then you have to change the y appropriately (to (2x+4)/3 for this case).

exactly
which part of:
Since he paid 3000 (after three years)+5450(after five years)=8450.
Interest he has given is, 8450-7000=1450..
Which is interest on 7000 for 3 years and on 4000 for 2 years combined. Equate both and you'll get R.
don't you understand?
6 maybe
the key is that the interest is calculated on the principal
at first the principal is Rs 7000
but after he pays off Rs 3000, he has Rs 4000 to pay off, and then the new principal is Rs 4000
so the 1450 is a combination of 7000 * (r%) for 3 years
and 4000 * (r%) for 5 - 3 = 2 years

he pays everything off in 5 years
so he pays off the 7000 loan for 3 years
that means he pays off the 7000 - 3000 = 4000 loan for 2 years
he reduces his loan from 7000 to 4000, by paying off 3000
is there any int. given on 3000?
of course
it's the same percentage interest as the one for 7000
which is why you can use the same variable, r, twice
ok so
when you pay off part of a loan
you reduce the principal, but not the interest rate
you pay less on interest now because your principal has reduced
ohok
now i get it
i just have to equal the 7000 int. and 4000int to 1450
yes then I've given you the algebraic equation in r, if you use your brain a bit
let me do another question using this method
