srry for wasting time lol
i think its right
thank you @prime loom
wait tho
my proof doesnt work for the 2
for 2 the bounds are sqrt(2) and x_0 I believe
how to prove that converges at sqrt(2)
AM-GM?
uhmm
$f(t) = 1/2(t + 2/t) >= sqrt(t * 2/t)$
Starland
you can do it with derivatives
$f(t) = \frac12(t+\frac2{t})$, then
$f'(t) = \frac12(1-\frac2{t^2})$
AlmondAxis987
for $t \geq \sqrt{2}, f'(t) \geq 0$
Hello
AlmondAxis987

ok etc (End of Thinking Capacity)
it has a lower bound sqrt2 and converges to sqrt2?
Idk about the 2nd part
lower bound is def. sqrt(2)
uh okay
<@&286206848099549185> can someone help this man and me out pls?
What question?
Prove and find the bounds of the recursive sequence $x_{n+1} = \frac12(x_n+\frac2{x_n})$
AlmondAxis987
we have found lower bound sqrt(2)
but this is correct as far as I can tell
compare x_n and x_(n-1)
mathematically correct, but it can not be applied on this recursive sequence
AlmondAxis987
for all t>=sqrt2, this is negative lol
and t is >= sqrt2 as thats lower bound
so $f(t) < t$
AlmondAxis987
I am sure you cannot just replace x_n with t because x_n can be any arbitrary sequence, right?
?
.
It does not matter if its replaced I think
yeah
it starts with f(x_0) = x_1
then f(x_1) = x_2
and so on
and all x_n >= sqrt2
Yes
so it is a monotinicly decreasing function
from here
and its always >=sqrt(2)
so it converges to sqrt(2)?
@urban flicker I think this was the answer?
indeed
So with just that info is enough to say it converges to sqrt2?
well thats yer questions solution done
yea that's the issue, f(t) is not an independent variable, it's a recursion
so?
it doesn't prove anything
I am using t to analyze the function and the restrictions on t placed in the analysis are placed on the recursion too
Ok do you know what we have to prove?
Induction would be a better choice to show possibly that sqrt(2) is a lower bound
lower bound sqrt2 and monoton decreasing
then it converges at sqrt2
ig we are just doing induction
just not stating each step individually
f(x_n) < x_n
so x_n+1 < x_n
and x_n+1 >= sqrt2
so by induction x_n converges to sqrt2
also another way is to just set x_n+1 = x_n
in the recursion funxtion
if we suppose x_0 > 0, then clearly the sequence is positive. with AM-GM we find one lower bound to be 1.
then for t > 2, f - id is less than a strictly negative constant so the sequence is decreasing, less than x0, and will be less than 2 after a certain point
we can then show that x_n is strictly bigger than a constant C that is strictly more than 1
and when t is between C and 2, f' is < 1 thus proving both boundedness and convergence
x_n can be strictly decreasing & bigger than sqrt2 without converging to sqrt2
oh so like it can converge to 1.5 and the conditions still hold
interesting
I have no idea how to find the limit of the sequence then
ohh lol I just solved by mistake
here
this gives x = sqrt2
if you set f(x) = x
Idk I am new in how to do proofs
I am not, but still I struggle
Thanks for discussing these topics it helps me explore the different views of everyone

!status
What step are you on?
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
Ehhh ig no idea
All I got was 18 * {11.....1(51 times)}^2
And I am somehw supposed to get 52nd digit
well that's a good start actually
Okay....... any hints or patters?
I am just like 111....1^2 is always in the form of 123.........321
try to look at the squares of 1, 11, 111, 1111 etc.
but ther than that idk
why did you say "form" twice?
no but why use the word "form" twice
also consider looking at the expansion of $(x^n + x^{n-1} + \dots + x + 1)^2$ more generally
Ann
So......... eh........ well isn't this only true upto 9 1's
and also expressing your number made of 51 ones as that but with n=50 and x=10.
it only breaks down bc of carrying
wait imma work on this exapnsion for 5 mins
see if I can find some pattern
Ok Just a hint
I tried to use Gp right
(X^n+1-1 ) /x-1
so I would get smth like eh.....( 10^51-1/9)^2
@kind viper
GP will be kind of a no-go here sorry
also i am going to be slow to respond bc im cooking myself food rn
the coefficients of this shit will be 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n-1, n, n-1, ..., 4, 3, 2, 1
for any n
the 52nd digit from the right in any number is the 10^51 place
figure out how to account for that
and all the carries from places below
ehhh
and do not forget about the 18 factor
maybe try smaller cases.
i.e. 333×666
3333×6666
note any patterns you notice
then try generalizing it
also this thing has missing brackets anyway and i will be a bitch about it
I got this guys point
in that way it will be one
ehhhh

hi can I get some help? I’m unsure of my answer ☹️
the total money he got = money from the merchandise + money from the sales tax
money from sales tax is 9.4% of the money from the merchandise
??
what are his two sources of money?
1219.58 and 9.4
no, the 1219.58$ is the total he earns from the two sources of money
what is his job?
artist?
yes and what does he sell
pottery.
good. So he sells pots and everytime he sells it, he taxes 9.4% money of the total sale. If he sells $100 worth of pots in a day, he earns an additional $9.4 from the tax
Does that make sense?
yes and no? that’s different from what I got when I solved it 
no I know that, im just saying that I solved the problem and not sure if this is correct.
ah, so what answer did u get?
what is x here
1219.58 = x + x ( 9.4)
ah here is the problem
it is 9.4%, not 9.4 itself
9.4% = 0.094
9.4% of 100 dollars is 9.4 dollars, not 9.4*100 dollars
so the actual expression is: 1219.58 = x + x (0.094)
did I do it the other way around??
you misinterpreted the meaning of percentage but the idea was correct
I got 1219.486
for x?
yes
,w solve 1219.58 = x + x (0.094)
,calc 609790/547
Result:
1114.78976234
unless I simplify it
hmm that is supposed to be x
erm
how did u get 1219.486
I lowk don’t know unless i misplaced an number on accident when i did it
WAIT
I DID
oops
did you figure out the issue? 
yes
wait am I putting
1219.48/ 1114.789
like the full numbers for 1114.789?
or is it just 1114.78?
im not sure what you are doing here
1219.58 = x+0.094x
hence
1219.58 = 1.094x
Do you agree so far?
ah okay, let me know once u fix them!
im overwhelmed.
yeah like in general
yeah I know x+2=5. not x+2x=5.
okay so in algebra (the field of math we are doing right now), when you see something like
x+3x
we can combine the terms to get
x+3x = 4x
just like 1+3 = 4
with this logic, what would x+9x be?

hey
I have the starting equation
5sin(2x)cos(2x) = sin(2x)
so then i divide both sides by cos(2x)
,av 82jz
leaving me with
5sin(2x) / cos(2x) = sin(2x) / cos(2x)
which is
5tan(2x) = tan(2x)
which doesnt look right
LHS is incorrect for one
and also you should be really careful dividing both sides by cos(2x) unless you wanna lose solutions
but also 5sin(2x)cos(2x) divided by cos(2x) does NOT give 5 sin(2x) / cos(2x).
yeah dumb error
why does this lose solutions
whichever x's would satisfy cos(2x)=0 might be solutions but after this division they won't be.
yea true u basically are considering tht cos2x is not the cause of the equality
why =0?
also, third thing: i don't even think dividing by cos(2x) helps you at all.
division by 0 no good
i was trying to get only one ratio in the equation
you won't accomplish it that way.
so why would dividing by cos(2x)=0 not be an error but instead lose solutions
tbh if u were trying to do tht u could have divided by sin2x
but dont
but this loses solutions too
possibly
that is why, the optimal path is to take everything to one side and factorize
yea thts why i said dont
do you want a different example where solutions really are lost
non trigonometric, for simplicity
sure
like (1-5cos(2x))sin(2x) = 0?
yups!
take the equation x^2 = 7x
this way, you get two factors that can possibly be equal to 0
ahhhhhhhh
on the one hand, you can tell it has solutions x=0 and x=7 by a similar technique: put all terms on one side and factorize -- this gets you x(x-7) = 0.
on the other hand, if you give in to the temptation to divide by x immediately, you are left with x = 7 -- and now the solution x=0 is lost.
okay this makes sense
does this only happen when x (or the solution) = 0?
rather it's when the expression by which you divide equals 0.
bc again, division by zero no good.
so funny business like this happens precisely when you divide by maybe-zero.
and if it doesn't then you won't lose solutions
note that division by x, or another variable quantity that may be 0, isn't wrong in itself -- it simply requires knowing the consequences of doing such a thing.
interesting
one counter-measure is to explicitly look at whichever x's might be lost as solutions, and note which ones among them really are solutions and write that down explicitly on the paper -- that way, they'll still be there and you'll still be able to put them back in the solution set.

Oh well
Too lazy 
The problem comes when row reduce
yes, you can see the sums of the columns are all 0
Ik that R1+R2=-R3
So we can "replace" the equation 3 with the equation w1+w2+w3=1
Right?
wha
oh ok
Ok wait Lmao
;(
Ok so now aug should be
;(
;(
;(
Good god
Y'all have any tips before i dive into this hell of a calculation?
Ok I feel like I did something wrong
Cause it's gonna result in w1=w2=w3=0
Sooooooooo

Same thing though
Aw

2&-7&4\
10&10&10

PajamaMamaLlama
wait do I suck at math?
This stupid questions and fractions
,calc -9*lcm(2,9,10)

Result:
-4.5
guess I do 
wolfram won't give fraction output

alr yeah idk where this matrix came from but goodjob! 
well wouldn't the full augmented matrix be:

7&5&-7&0\
1&1&1&&1
\end{bmatrix}

Just did row reduction on paper and it looks good
I guess I can do it but I make sill ymistake
oh whoops 
happens 
just make sure it doesn't during an exam

How do I do this
you know how to find the inverse of h(r) = 2r + 1 right
yes
what's the issue then
so i just do that for both?
the domains of both functions?
yes
and then note your domains, so for the inverse you will have $y \le 0$ and $y > 0$
south
h = y here
or actually, just find what h is when r = 0, so that would be 1 and 1 respectively, and that gives you the domains, cause you swap h and r
so the domains are not this?
no
cause you need the domain to be in terms of x surely
so what are the domains again?
figure it out from this
okay what is it, so i can see if i got it right
tell me and I'll tell you
wait wdym
if you've done it you can just say what you think the domains are
like 0-1/2 and cube root of 0-1?
well, no
okay so do you agree that (x, y) = (0, 1) is where both of those piecewise functions meet?
the functions break at x = 0
okay
yeah, and for the inverse functions
you just swap y and x
so that gives you which point?
1
so the new domains will be $r \le 1$ and $r > 1$
south
but how do you know this?
like where you got it from
you just sub r = 0 into 2r + 1 and r^3 + 1
and you get 1 and 1
ohh in the orginal thing
yeah
i thought i had to do r=0 on my new ones
yeah you could do it that way but I realised this shorter way
you could indeed solve for inverse of 1st function $\le 0$ and inverse of 2nd function $> 0$
it's not that much longer but still
south
it'd be repetitive actually
okay thanks for everything

How do i do this
To me it seems super unclear
yeah its not well written imo
my interpretation: the clock in the mirror looks like its 6:45. so draw that, then mirror it, then read what time it shows now
i think thats the only thing that makes sense yeah
@deft forum Has your question been resolved?
Is that maths cuz I'm tutoring my lil bro's homework
This is ment to be a mock test so that pretty much can't be the solution
Wait I solved it it's either 6:15 or 12:45
Depends on which axis which it didn't states
does your little brother know how a clock works
why not?
is mirroring that high-level?

analize the existence of this limits and if they exist, say their value
🐻❄️
(in case you wanna save time use polar coordinates)
you mean (x,y) = (rcos(t), rsin(t))?
what is r then?
r goes to 0
and t?
the numerator is y
x²y
you can also simplify the denom
you can prove the limit with the squeeze theorem (use that sine and cosine are bounded)
[-1, 1]
yea
Another way to prove this is using AM GM, though polar coordinates are probably the more general approach
Bro how are you already doing multivariable calculus ?
yea and if you take the abs value and bound it you are done
what? I started university like 1 week and a half ago
anal 1, is multi var calc
I mean usually multi var calc is done after doing a calc 1 course with one variable idk
Ig its different for different unis
calc 1 course was what we covered in pre university math, idk
Oh
intro to mathematical analysis
Oh i see thats why
I am also taking this sem, algebra I which is intro to proofs, relations, basic set theory, functions, combinatorics, polynomials, and basic diophantic eqs, aswell as modular arithmetic
crazy start
depends on the country if you covered calc 1 or intro to anal in pre uni, but I pressume it differs from across the globe
what now dude? how do I bound this thing?
cos^2 is bounded between 0 and 1?
Yea

,, \lim_{r\to0} |f(r,\theta)| = \lim_{r\to0} r\cos^2(\theta)|\sin(\theta)| \le ?
le?
ahh
1 i think
Good luck
write it
thanks, u too dude, I saw you doing some exercises on modular arithmetic
but is also bounded from below by 0
the absolute value, no?
I am maybe tripping
Yea I took abstract algebra this sem
when i took it pre last, it took me
Yes
what about it?
Why did you writr then 1
Dont write limit
ok
So we bound it from below with 0
Squeeze theorem says since lower and upper bound go to 0, then so must the middle term
its a completely different limit if we do that
no
like, it would be simpler to argue that
since image of sin is [-1,1] and image of cos^2 is [0, 1] it follows that the image of cos^2(t)sin(t) is [0,1]
but both things are equivalent
well
I wrote the 0=< to make clear its not negative
If you resolve the abs value you get your function
Thats what I meant (I am cooking right now)
then what?
the problem is that I am having trouble concluding that its equal to 0
that is equal to 0
Then what
Pull up the squeeze theorem
Thats here
Remove the lim
Do you see a lim in the inequalities
yes
I appreciate the help
how did you knew this was always zero?
also, cant i just use polar coordinates for all of this multivariable limits?
not all
its like asking, can i always use a usub for integration
different tools for different problems
but when i see the x²+y² sure go with 🐻❄️

Given $\tau \sigma \tau^-1 = ( 1 2 5 4) \in S_7$
Given permutation $\tau \sigma^k \tau^-1$ is the inverse of $(\tau \sigma \tau^-1)^{40}$ find k
How do i do this
prograce
I know that ord($(\tau \sigma \tau^-1)^{40}$)=1 and ord($\tau \sigma \tau^-1$) =4 and that the permutation is odd from the previous parts
prograce
$\tau^{-1}$ first and foremost
Ann
also other 
Im trying
What to do with it?
should simplify $(\tau \sigma \tau^\inv)^{40}$ first
riemann
was just correcting the most noticeable badtex on your part
gonna second riemann tho
Oh,
I could simplify it to (tau sigma tau^-1)^10 then
simplify WHAT to that?
I think im looking at tau sigma tau^-1 as a whole when i should be looking at sigma=(1 3 4 6)
Simplify (tau sigma tau^-1)^40
a^4=e does NOT imply a^40=a^10
Can I get a hint?
I tried again so: a^40=(a^4)^10=e^10=e ... idk
So I need to find k such that $\tau \sigma^k\tau^{-1} = e^{-1}=e$
prograce
And since o($\tau \sigma \tau^{-1}$)=4 then k=4 ?
prograce
is this the smallest possible k?
Yes?
you seem a little unsure - can you back it up?
Since the order of the permutation is 4, then any smaller power would not give me the identity by definition
exactly, so you can be confident in your answer :D
ah.
well, i double checked by hand and also by theorem, and $\mathrm{ord}(1 ; 2 ; 5 ; 4)$ definitely seems to be 4
haseeb
is there more to the solution with k=8?
oh wait it's $\tau \sigma^k \tau^{-1}$, not $(\tau\sigma\tau^{-1})^k$
🤦♂️
haseeb
so we want $\tau\sigma^k\tau^{-1} = e$
Hahahah
haseeb
Oh right
can you simplify something here? perhaps make something reduce to e?
wait that also gives k=4 
I think our answer is right, I just realized that 4 is not in the options,,
Sorry yes 4 is correct
8 is also correct and since it is in options
Wow that was a huge time waste haha
ohh of course oopsie
Any multiple of 4 is correct... so 8 is the answer here
Sorry I didn't realize 4 wasn't in the options

. its on me too, didnt say smallest value 
s
Ok
;(
Now I wanted to go by induction
;(
Hence true
Now we assume it true for n=k, and want to prove it for n=k+1, k>=2
The other stuff can be ignored since they will not be polynomial of degree k
So since it is true for n=2 and n=k+1, k>=2, it must be true for n>=2, hence proven
Is this good?
@eternal pulsar Has your question been resolved?
yeah, just argue a bit more why "stuff" is a polynomial with degree <= k-1
and for constant coeff what did you do?
Oh oops
Well that's just f(0)=det(A-0lambda)=det(A)
Hmm, alright
Shouldn't be too hard
;(
Since there's n-2 entries with a lambda term, we have that the degree of the polynomial formed will be at maximum degree n-2=k-1
Since the same thing will happen for the other minors, the degree of stuff <= k-1
@azure vault is this good? I know its rough but I'm too lazy to elaborat emuch
<@&286206848099549185>
<@&286206848099549185> afraid
yes this should be good
Typa timing lmao
basically the minors from expanding
they are all k*k matrices
but they all get a row or column destroyed
where there was a lambda term
so only k-1 terms with lambda

i need help starting 2a iii)
it is not injective and it is surjective
like 2,4,8,16,...?
hmm, not really
preimages are gonna be tuples
you might also wanna recall the rules of exponents
like for different values of k, the preimages gonna differ
lets start with some specific values of k
lets say you got k=2
what can you tell about its preimage(s)
its (2,2 and 4,1)?
{(2,2), (4,1)}
what about if k=6?
no need to calculate the stuff exactly
I want what insight can you get from the values of k
so we want the pairs (m,n) such that m^n = 2^6
well like depending on k the amount of pairs u get are different i think
ofc
this is a small-ish hint
are we trying to look like more generally ?
not like for specific k now
so i guess
like
we are solving m^n = 64
since output must be power of 2 then m has to be power of 2
well, yea, the final aim is to have a general case for the k's
yea, thats a good step
so 2^an = 2^6 if k=6
so therefore an = 6 and we have to find a and n that make an=6
we can have
a = 1, n = 6
a = 2, n = 3
a = 3, n = 2
a = 6, n = 1
good, so this time you got 4 different tuples of possible preimages
and ofc, by now you must have realized how that depends on k
like are u talking about if k is prime or something
well, yea
thats a part of it
specifically, I am talking about the factorization of k
this
each factor of k is gonna yield a different pre-image
how are gonna solve for n when you only know k and not a
imo going for prime factorization of k would make more sense
uh do we need it if we're just looking at preimage?
well, you did factorize k=6 as 2*3 and thats how you got the preimages no?
you put n=2 for one case, and n=3 for the other
and ofc n=1 and n=6 too
what are 1,2,3,6 if not the factors of k
yes
yea, so same way, you are gonna need the factors of k for any of its values so that you can write $2^k = (2^{a})^b$ and thats gonna get you $m = 2^a$ and $n=b$ yielding the preimages as $(2^a,b)$ where $k=a \times b$
Bacter14Fr0g
ohh so (2^a, b) is our preimage
should we say b = k/a or it makes more sense to leave it as ab = k
i see and if i needed to write a sentence about like the factors of k what should i say
you can just write that the preimages depend on the factors of k, and that each of the distinct factor gives rise to a distinct preimage
and that trivially, since k = 1*k, you will always have at least two different pre-images for all k>1

Can someone please help me with this question
I just have no idea how to even start
This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction of standing waves in organ pipes. it covers the closed tube air column which is open at one end and the open tube air column which is open at both ends. The first problem explains how to calculate the fundamental frequency of an organ pipe open at both ends / open tube, the frequency of...

ah yes 10th grade ncert
@compact olive do you wanna join here
mujhe maggi banani thi 
This is just basic conditional probability stuff right
oh these are fun! i have a deck of 52 questions
Draw one
In your own channel, diva
Ok so how do i solve
Thanks for this
!status
What step are you on?
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
1
what is the probability that the lost card is a king without taking out any cards
1/13
explain that first
Oh 1 min
There are 52 cards and 1 card is lost, the probability of lost card is a king
So its 1/13
how many kings are there in the 52 cards
given that you take out one king how many kings are there in the remaining deck
and how many cards are left
3 king and 51 cards
within that, what is the probability of a random card being king
do you know how to do part iii now
wait why multiply
they're drawn but you don't care abt the probability of that
you're just told that they're both aces
how many aces do you have left after drawing 2, in the remainder of the entire deck including the lost card
how many cards
Including drawn + lost?
51 excluding drawn
52 if no loss
First of all, i have a doubt in ii
How does probability of lost card being king relate to the kings after losing a card
wdym
Like b4 losing it was 1/13
conditional probability - you're told that you remove a king from the cards
if the probability of losing any card was uniform before, it's still uniform now, except you take out a king
Elaborate further please !
thats calss 8th ques guys
Noo im so dumb
Could u please explain me even further 😭
consider the probability of losing any specific card, 1/52 at first
Yess
after removing a king, that's 1/51 in the remaining cards
1 or 3?
any specific card
Ok
(because you did not lose the king that you removed)
there are 3 kings left
3*1/51 = 3/51 = 1/17
Oh
50
how many aces remain
1
there are 4 at first
Then 2
don't consider losing a card until you have to calculate the probability
you're asked to calculate probability of lost card being an ace
Ye
don't care about the drawn ace probability
Then how do i proceed
you're not being asked to calculate the probability of drawing two aces
you take out two aces from the deck and want to find probability of the lost card also being an ace
In the bag of 5 red and 6 black ball whats chances of drowing the 2 red
😭
Are you trying to help him or asking your own question, I can't tell
2/11 but that's irrelevant
5/11x 4/10 without replacing
you want a probability on the lost card, not what you take out from the deck
So could explain like how did u for ii
And tell what to take into consideration 1st and what not to
start here
No perhapsp(r) =5c2/11c3
ask in another channel
Without removing we have 1/13 chance
After drawing 2 aces the cards are 50
Then the probability of ace being lost from 50 cards?
Or probability of ace being lost after 1 ace is removed then 2 cards are drawn
Which are also ace
you draw (remove) two aces
Then caluclate lost ace?
calculate P(lost card being an ace | deck of 2 aces in 50 cards)
1/25 simply
yea!
