Factorise the second equation
With the constant?
progress on 13?
Right sorry Ann
I did but got nothing
it'll be important that x and y are positive integers here
in particular you might find it useful to add 1 in the first equation to get
xy + x + y + 1 = 72
think about why i am suggesting this
Idk why but my image quality 🤌
I want this intuition
yeah ok this is a no-go
That is genius
ig i can say it: xy+x+y+1 factors as (x+1)(y+1).
🤌
you can then streamline your guess-and-check for factorizations of 72 into two factors by making a table with the columns x+1, y+1, x, y, x+y
and checking whether the product of the last three can possibly be equal to 880 (sometimes it will be divisible by primes it's not supposed to be)
Long process must wait
it isn't that long
Ohk
do you want me to show you my thought process for how i did it just now
Pls
Pls show
Ty for this
Using colourful pens for me 🤌
point is i dont really ever work out the product except in the one green case
instead i find a reason why it can't be what im looking for (880) and then move on knowing this case needs no more attention
146
of course it helps to know the first few primes
Fr
How shall I develop more Intuition in maths🙏
🙌let's move to 14th
does the polynomial x^2 - x + 1 remind you of anything
no royal road to that unfortunately
Complex roots
you need to do questions that tickle your brain and make you spot patterns
well sure but this one's a bit special
consider: (x+1)(x^2-x+1) = x^3 + 1
this means alpha and beta are both also roots of x^3 + 1 (without being -1 themselves)
alpha^3 = beta^3 = -1
i will be right back but this is already a big step in the right direction
Yea I knew it we called it Omega^3=-1
i don't think you used omega this way
i think you used omega to mean a cube root of unity ie omega^3=+1
But 3 and hundred are not pretty factors😭
(also definitely omega ω and not Omega Ω)
Yea
doesn't matter
Isn't the last one sign of ohm
it is, but it is also just the uppercase letter omega
K=2?
greek alphabet has upper and lower case just like Latin and Cyrillic both do
Yea answer is 146 how ‼️
??
answer to which one
14th
i thought we were done with 13 and now we are doing 14
the answer to 14 isn't 146 either
see here
This is pretty mathemystic that idk
alpha^100 = -alpha^97 = +alpha^94 = ...
you step the exponent down by 3 until it's too small to go further, where do you stop
I'll stop at 1
Fr
Also +alpha^4 is equal to it
why probably
could it also be 42069 steps instead or some other wacky number
there is no probability or uncertainty here
only your self doubt. yes it's 33 steps.
thus alpha^100 = (-1)^33 alpha^1 = -alpha
and same for beta
It's just I did that easy calculations in mind only
what have i told you about doing calculations in mind.
?
what's unclear?
Alpha^100= -alpha^1 ? How
Isn't it +
Bcoz Alpha^100=-alpha^4
no you fucked up the signs
thinking somewhat in the wrong direction here
?
thing is, every time you step down by 3, you pick up a minus
100 to 1 takes 33 steps so you pick up 33 minuses ie (-1)^33
the parity thing is a side effect and not a cause
i have no idea wtf you actually meant here
but alpha^1 is just alpha
And what is alpha?
And how can I can answer by doing -alpha=alpha^100
meaning how you got there?
look very simply alpha^100 = alpha * (alpha^3)^33 = alpha * (-1)^33 = -alpha
Ik how did I get it but..... How shall I define it for the answer
well first show that alpha is a solution to x^3 + 1 = 0 so alpha^3 = -1
then alpha^100 = alpha^100 = alpha * (alpha^3)^33 = alpha * (-1)^33 = -alpha
so alpha^100 + beta^100 = -(alpha + beta)
do you know how to get alpha + beta?
Why the hell alpha can't be -1 then too imaginary 😭
this and same for beta gives -K = -alpha - beta.
Yes
so whats the answer?
1
correct k=1
Ty 🙇♂️
next question?
Done ty
I'll be back after lunch if I need help

which part are u stuck at? and what have you tried? any relevant information will be appreciate
question1,2,3,6
aight, start with q1 shall we
you jst need to use sum of angles in a triangle=180 degrees
can you do that (we need to find A1 a.k.a BAC)
how should I write it
if its 180 deg and we have to find A1 should we calculate every side in the angle
no
dame

sorry I am bad in maths
can I add you and do it there I dont like to talk on servers
then I can understand better
i prefer do the bussiness here

I was learning about the inverse radon transform bc of tomography but I don't understand the last step cause I thought the intergration of the fourier transform was on dw but there is a function of w and s at the end. Am I just tripping?

Maximum area of rectangle that can be inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side length 'a'?
Ping when replying
Okay
Chill bro, I'mma make a diagram fisrt
But the main idea here is that, you should construct a function
Hold up
Okay
You want to find y in terms of x
Then set up :
f(x) = x • y
Graph it and find the maximum
@peak turret
y= (a/2- x) tan60°?
Why graph?
So u can easily spot the max
a/2-x=x
Wouldn't this just give the maxima?
Derivatives?
Tiring
But ik how to do them
Actually not that bad in this case, but graphing is just my fav
Thanks anyways

To differentiate $\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$ with respect to x
Normie
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
My problem is what to do after substituting the value of u which is 1-x/(1+x) into the cot inverse derivative
you need the chain rule
so you need to multiply by the derivative of (1-x)/(1+x) afterwards
The derivative I am getting is
,w derivative of arccot(x)
-2/(x²+2x+1) for 1-x/(1+x) which is not going to give me the answer I am sure
,w derivative of 1-x/(1+x)
,w derivative of (1-x)/(1+x)
Which is basically what I got but it seems like there is a way here
They haven't opened the bracket
- sub in (1 - x)/(1 + x) into x for the derivative of arccot(x)
- multiply this by -2/(1 + x)^2
That multiplication is so complex omg
Never done such before
Is this what you mean? @bleak dock
Forget the tan theta part
No I am not using tan theta
instead part 1) is $-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)^2 + 1}$
south
Normie
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
it's better not to expand the denominator
why? cause in total you have $-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)^2 + 1} \cdot \frac{-2}{(1 + x)^2}$
Oh
south
This still doesn't give the correct answer
I did what you said to do and continued from there
My conclusion isn't correct though
As you said I solved the cot-1 u by expanding only the numerator
From there I added 1 to it to get a single fraction after dividing by 1
Simplified and got it incorrect
why don't you have $\frac{2}{(1 - x)^2 + (1 + x)^2}$ next
south
Because it's not possible
bruh
I will appreciate if you solve it yourself and show me
you could save yourself a lot of work by multiplying the two denominators
you should really pause and consider how I got to this
Oh true
Oh false
Oh right I should have expanded the bracket first
Looking back at it there is no bracket to expand
I did everything step by step first expanding bracket then dividing then multiplying then simplifying
<@&286206848099549185>
,w 2x × x²
Chain rule method is too niche for this
Can someone explain the following
This is useful I think
,rotate
they literally used the chain rule
Okay so we had two functions
F'(u) and g'(x)
We then chained them together with multiplication
Lemme do this myself
I think I made a mistake differentiating u
oh, it's a different order
Nvm
Na they did v u' - u v'
Which is a funny way to arrange it
I guess that cot-1 u derivative is hard for me to divide
Maybe I should stop expanding the brackets entirely
Oh yeah I think that's what happened
I was getting the answer in its expanded form
Shoots
Thank you though 👨🦳💀

how do u do b)?
am i meant to use vector resolute or something
i have no idea

this is actually just a matter of adding the unit vectors of a and b
and normalizing the result
sounds like "vector resolute" is another way of saying "vector projection"?
normalize = divide a vector by its own length
ohh okok
gonna need me to wait about 20 min to get back home before i can show you a diagram
okay
for adding the a hat and b hat is it meant to be just
expanding
and collecting
yes. a vector's length is its magnitude
diagram
When Ann told that, you could have asked her the meaning of length
you have two congruent triangles with sides v, w and v + w
hence two of the angles make up the big angle between v, w
yes and those two angles are the same (by SSS congruence)
and what exactly is a hat? the magnitude?
not quite a good diagram im afraid
it's a symbol to say something is a unit vector
$\hat{a}, \hat{b}$
south
isnt a bolded letter just a vector
It's the notation for unit vectors
yeah this is one of these things that is ambiguous
but this convention is more common
and it's the one we're all using
here
In textbooks, usually yes
But when you handwrite you can't use bold face font, so we write them in multiple possible ways: $\vec{v}$ or $\overline{v}$ or $\underline{v}$
Alberto Z.
Mmh I'm not that sure actually
my teacher got me writing a squiggly line on top of the letter
and then we gotta add hats or something
Yeah that's another possible notation (though way more rare)
in handwriting you can easily confuse v-hat with (v + squiggly line on top)
so to be unambiguous you should write the squiggle on the bottom
but yeah notation is one big clusterf*ck
I had a teacher for continuum mechanics that wrote vectors with a tilde (squiggly line) but below it, not above
ohh ok
But in contexts where it's understood that things are vectors (such as in linear algebra) you might as well see no notation at all, neither bold font
Sure, we know
could you teach me the process?
is step 1 to find vector resolute?
idk what to do after that
I'm sorry, I don't know what resolution means

hellooo i have a question
so i have to create an equation
Yes 🙂
Take a circle and scale it?
uhhh
its like a scenario
i have to make a mug or cup looking thing
and the volume of that has to be 400-600
How about a rectangle?
400-600 i.e between those values?
so i have a random sin equation
ye
so i have this crazy sin equation, and i left the scalar as a constant
using the volume formula
like the v= pi integration of x^2 dy
can i put in the x^2 and make it equal to 500
and solve for a
?
lol does that make sense?
No
You should have started with that...

for example y = 1/x its invalid when the independent var x = 0

hey guys
i can tell easily that B and D are answers
but how'd is it also A and not C
I ended up saying all of them were answers but I got C being an answer wrong
if $b = xv_1 + yv_2$ then you can also say $b = (x-y)v_1 + yv_1 + yv_2 = (x-y)v_1 + y(v_1+v_2)$
Ann
however with C note that span{v1+v2, -v1-v2} = span{v1+v2} and this consists only of vectors whose v1-coordinate and v2-coordinate are equal (which those of a vector in span {v1, v2} need not be!)
hol on let me try to understand this
sorry i don't really understand your method
what i try to do was use arbitrary vectors
b vector = the 0 vector
oooooh I get it kinda
since v1 and v2 are the same vector in 3, it can't be in the span?
this is the opposite of arbitrary, actually ._. if you want an arbitrary vector, you have to work with v_1 or v_2 as the symbols
oooh wait I can't use the zero vector cuz it's in the span of everything
yes exactly
v1 and v2 aren't the same vector or scalar multiples, but (v1 + v2) and (-v1 + v2) are scalar multiples
so C is the span of one vector - precisely, it's what ann described
there's another way to think about this: if you can get to $v_1$ and $v_2$ using the vectors in the spanning set, then $\spn{v_1, v_2}$ is going to be inside it
haseeb
like for A: $v_2 = (v_1 + v_2) + (-1)(v_1)$ is a linear combination of $(v_1 + v_2)$ and $v_1$
haseeb
and of course $v_1$ is in the spanning set
haseeb
ur method is very high intelect for me
i just picked b to be 0,1
v = 1,0
v2 = 0,1
and i got an inconsistent matrix when tryna solve for C
yall helped me understand span damn. thanks yall

im glad it worked out, but picking a vector is not always going to work out
.reopen
✅
i mean
im a fast solver i don't mind picking 3 different vectors and trying them all
i understand ur concern tho
let's say you picked v1 = (1,1) and v2 = (-1, -1), then you would have gotten something consistent, even though it doesnt work for all vector
can you try infinitely many though? 
those are the same vectors though i wouldn't do that
i suppose you can pick vectors to disprove certain options in this case, but working generically is better
from what i understand and correct me, if the two vectors are the same vector or colinear, then the dimension can't line up correctly
so it won't be in the span
that is a really good explanation :)
i only thought about it cuz of u bro thanks

also, you could probably make a situation where picking linearly independent vectors will give you the wrong answer - particularly past 2 dimensions
so it's either R^2 or R^1 cuz we're given 2 vectors?
. or R^0, a singular point

you can expand (x-a)^3 and then match coefficients
ohhh okayy thanks
i dont get the -4000
i got 4000
can you show your work?
in order to factor you need on both sides -8000, so the right side would become -4000
why minus -8000 on both sides?
You got right now
you cheated the -8000
You didn't have a -8000 before, but you need it, in order to factor
so you add on both sides -8000 and so the right side becomes 4000-8000=-4000
okayy thanku so muchh!

why is -9-(-8) 17
If you're asking why -9-(-8) = 17
It isn't
You sure you "lagged"? 'cause -(-9)-(-8) = 17
for addition purposes, -9 means go nine steps left and +8 means go eight steps right

i have two sets which are not subset of each other but they share common elements
can we talk about complement of one set with respect to another?
because in definitions i found everywhere there is explicitly said that one set needs to be subset of another
just say set difference tbh
A \ B
lets say A={1,2,3,5} B={3,5,7,10} what is compleement of A with respect to B
To talk about a complement, you do need one to be a subset
that would be B \ A
but also,
!xy
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 you can talk about the set difference in general
this
@kind viper
that would be B \ A
Actually I'm probably wrong; the relative complement doesn't need subsets, it's just synonymous with set difference
but they are not subsets of each othe
hm dunno we didnt specify
so were talking about relative complement or absolute one?
"absolute" complement is only ever "complement of <set>" and implies some universal set that we fix and work inside of.
"complement of <set> wrt <other set>" can only be read as, in your terms, relative complement
or as it's more commonly known, set difference.
Can you show one of those definitions you found? Including context
hm so its homework for my little brother but i can translate the definition their teacher gave them
send a photo of the thing
I'd rather you just take a picture
like the entire worksheet
for future reference this kind of context should not be coming out this late into the help channel convo
but rather state it upfront next time
hm but its in slovak
Yes sorry i thought it would be more straight forward
post it anyway
Ann
alright then ill tell my brother to ask his teacher about their definition
This looks like the work you (or your brother) have done, not the definition
You should be able to find the definition in the textbook
Doplnok množiny, nech B je podmnožina množiny A doplnok množiny B v množine A, je množina všetkých prvokv množiny A, ktoré nepatria do množiny B.
thats transcribed word to word
The complement of a set, let B be a subset of set A, the complement of set B in set A, is the set of all elements of set A that do not belong to set B.
Sure
But in general B is not required to be a subset of A
xd yes
xdd thats pretty standard handwiring in our area
but thanks guys
ill tell my brother to ask for clear clarification from his teacher

Exercise 12. Whenever Laly and Leo sleep at their grandmother's house, they return home with a package of cookies. If one day we saw them arrive with the package of cookies, we might be inclined to conclude that they slept at their grandmother's house. Can you identify the error in the reasoning above? Hint: It is known as the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
they gave you the answer
can we think it of terms of propositional logic?
sleep at grandmas house —> come home with cookies
just because you come home with cookies doesn’t mean they slept at grandmas
false —> true is still true
they may have some other reason for coming home with cookies
if you want it in precise logic
"p —> q
q
therefore p"
is invalid
,, p \to q \equiv \lnot p \lor q
\lnot
Renato
\neg is better
$\lnot$
knief
,align q \land (p \to q) &\equiv q \land (\neg p \lor q) \ &\equiv (q \land \neg p) \lor (q \lor q) \ &\equiv (q \land \neg p) \lor q
could be that not p is also true
Renato
the truth of the consequent does not guarantee the truth of the antecedent
my guy spent 5 minutes for that
who
happens
@strange pendant Has your question been resolved?
did something not make sense in this explanation?
ye
is it not possible to use propositional logic
it probably is, but showing that q and not(p) can be true at the same time is enough
a lot of logic proofs like this rely on assuming certain truth values (i.e. starting with q = true), and it tends to be faster
if you really want to use logic, though: expand out to $$(q \vee q) \wedge (\neg p \vee q).$$ if $q \equiv \textbf{T},$ what can be said about $\neg p$?
haseeb
we dont care about truth value of neg P
if q is True then this is a tautology
regardless of the truth value of p
why not? we want to show that if q is true, p is not always true
so, does that mean p is always true? or can p be false
q and (p -> q)
simplifies to p -> q
can be both
and still p -> true holds
yeah, but the question is asking about q -> p
possibly, yes, but it's not guaranteed. hence we cannot deduce q -> p
this is about as much as you can manipulate with the variables. after that, you'd have to look at truth values
how so?
ye of course, if that would be the case then it would be an iff and not an implication, is just hard to phrase it in prop logic
ye
because q = true and p = false makes our situation, (q ^ (p->q)), true. at the same time, it makes q -> p false
disagree >.> for example, you should understand that (A -> B) -> C is different to A -> (B -> C), and you should be able to say which one you are specifically proving
im not gonna defend everything that you are tasked to do in a uni course, but stuff like this builds your logic muscle, and allows you to avoid saying logical fallacies when it's not just propositional symbols
for example, every maximal ideal is prime (if the ring is commutative), but that doesn't mean that every prime ideal is maximal. recognizing the fallacy becomes easier when you've had practice with arbitrary symbols
but this is probably not the best place to discuss pedagogy, sorry
i believe that is used to prove that every nonempty ring has a maximal ideal
(not rng)
sorry for the clutter. here's the final bit of our reasoning we left off at
so the actual way to solve this question would be to show that, if Q is true and P is false, P ^ (P -> Q) is true, but Q -> P is not
thus, the converse cannot always be assumed
what?
you can think of the statement we wanted to prove like this: "for all p, q, if p->q and q is true, then q->p"
if we wanted to negate that, it would be "there exists p, q, if p->q and q is true, then q ^ not(p)"
(when i say 'for all' or 'there exists', i mean some combination of true/false for p and q)
so we picked a specific case that disproves it, based on our propositional stuff
Exercise 12. Whenever Laly and Leo sleep at their grandmother's house, they return home with a package of cookies. If one day we saw them arrive with the package of cookies, we might be inclined to conclude that they slept at their grandmother's house. Can you identify the error in the reasoning above? Hint: It is known as the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
can we think it in terms of words?
IF LALO AND LEO SLEPT AT THEIR GRANDMAS HOUSE, THEY ATE COOKIES IS P -> Q
LALO AND LEO SLEPT AT GRANDMAS IS P
ATE COOKIES IS Q
NOW
WE WANT TO SHOW THAT Q -> P IS A FALLACY
NOT BECAUSE THEY ATE COOKIES THEY WENT TO GRANNIES HOUSE
NOT NECESSARILY AT LEAST
what's the negation of Q -> P, in words?
NOT(IF LALO AND LEO ATE COOKIES THEN THEY WENT TO GRANMA)
NOT(Q -> P) = NOT(NOT(Q) OR P) = Q AND NOT P
LALO AND LEO ATE COOKIES AND THEY WERENT AT GRANNYS HOUSE
right, and our question is: is this possible, given what we know
if p -> q and q is true
q is cookies
are you asking if its possible that lalo and leo ate cookies and they werent at grandmas house knowing that they ate cookies?
like
I dont get it dude
why dont we do it using propositional logic
,, q \land (p \to q) \land (q \to p) \ q \land (\neg p \lor q) \land (\neg q \lor p) \ ((q \land \neg p) \lor (q \land q)) \land (\neg q \lor p) \ ((q \land \neg p) \lor q) \land (\neg q \lor p) \ (((q \land \neg p) \lor q) \land \neg q) \lor (((q \land \neg p) \lor q) \land p)
Renato
because, if you prove that p->q and q->p is never true, then you are proving that p <-> q cannot exist
we are trying to prove it is possibly false, not always
dude is hard
yes
idk, we dont care about grandmas
let's do it like this then
$$\underbrace{q \land (p \to q)}{\text{true}} \land \underbrace{(q \to p)}{\text{false}}$$
haseeb
pick a truth value for q and p that makes this happen
and conclude that the whole thing is false in that specific case
p =. false q = true
you raise a good point
like only because they went to grandma does not necesarilly mean they had cookie
that is what p -> q is
but if they are holding a package of cookies, it's possible they bought it from a shop
or got them from a friend
there are many ways to get cookie, so we cannot backtrack and say it was definitely grandma
ye
the thought process is: we want $$q \land (p \to q)$$ to be true. then both $q$ and $p \to q$ must be true, so $q$ is true, and we can't say anything about $p$ yet (true and false both work). \
so now, turn your attention to $$q \to p.$$ This is only false if $q$ is true, and $p$ is false. Ergo $p$ is false.
haseeb
i guess
I kinda get it haseeb @upbeat gorge
is it possible to find a contradiction using propo logic?

Is this right so far this is my second time trying to do this and i feel like so far it might be okay and i remember learning something about when u reach the same thing as the original equation ur supposed to do something but idk i could be wrong(sorry if its hard to read)
You can just take your initial Integral as 'I'
You reach a simplification after applying IBP twice
That is, you get 'I' on the RHS too, so 'I' = x + y'I', hence 'I' = x/(1 - y), something like this
Let me know if I make sense
Wait I'll solve integral of xsinx so that you get the gist, one minute
Or ykw, e^x sinx, I just realised xsinx is too simple for this
Let me know if it's not visible
You get what I mean? IBP for your initial Integral, then IBP for the integral you get from the first IBP, and now the integral you get is same as the initial one
And after that it's just basic algebra, basically you end up on the RHS with the constants from both the IBP and the same Integral as the one you were trying to find, you have to simplify it with LHS and you get the answer
Whoops, my answer is incorrect IG, messed up in the sign, but you get what I mean

how do u convert cm to leters
letres
do you mean cubic cm?
1 l = 1000 cm^3
1 cm^3 = 1 ml as a result
liter is a unit for volume
If you want to do that analogy, I believe so, yes
But I'd rather say you just have to remember that 1 dm³ = 1 L
Or, if you prefer, 1 cm³ = 1 mL

is the question to find its total surface area?
yep
do you know what is surface area of a cylinder
yes
so a quater cyclinder plus the who rectangle
yeah
there is another way of think of it
individually finding every surfaces surface area
you can see you have a total of 5 surfaces
2 quaters of a circle
2 rectangular
and another curved surface whose area can be solved as simple as of a rectangle
but if you find the first method easier please go with it
so to find like a half or quarter= a quater or half of the normal surface area of a cyclinder then u plus the 2 rectangles or one
right?

Each triangle is randomly colored with one of 7 colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Calculate the probability that two adjacent regions are colored with 2 different colors
It's a 20 sided regular polygon
do you mean like the probability that there are no two adjacent same colored regions ANYWHERE
yeah I believe so
wiat
ok so there are 20 pairs of adjacent regions
TSR, SRQ, ..., ATS
yes
My brain is fried
i don't see a way without nasty incl excl bashing
could you like, sketch the idea for me
not sure if i have it fleshed out rn
I also dont see anything else
set A_i,c = {all colorings so that triangles i, i+1 have color c}
essentially you want to find the complement of the union of all of those
but thats ewww
I wonder whether there is some induction type argument
hmm I think we can do sequence counting
wlog suppose one of the triangles has color red
maybe we let the first triangle have 7 colors right, the triangles next to them would have 6 possible colors
then ig u just repeat
we are enumerating them clockwise
ya
so the colors are a sequence with distinct adjacent terms
then just need to figure out the end condition
cause last triangle has to fit
im thinking is it possible to just think of the first triangle have 7 colors that’s possible, the next triangle has 6 possible colors, and the triangle after has 6
and so on
I'm processing, my brain is so fried rn I even have hard time understanding english 
like think of how many colors can the triangle have
yeah your way is 7*6^{18}*5 right?
yes
I mean I thought of that but it seems wrong
you cant just do that
the last triangle does not have the same 6 choices
cause it borders the first one
hence *5
it could still have 6
just not always
for each color c, count the number of sequences with length n which start with red and end with color c
can we split it into 2 cases to count
oh wait i get why my method is wrong i misread the question im sorry
@molten badger Has your question been resolved?
Is inclusion and exclusion the only way?
this is the problem with normal counting
yeah actually
so instead if you have a_n denote the number of colourings with n triangles (and also a_n-1 for n-1 triangles) then find the number of colourings for n+1 triangles
we just did something without incl excl....
I'm not understand what you said
Could you explain it more
sorry my brain is cooked today
is that we dont know how many choices there are for the last triangle
and if we split into cases
we dont know how many colourings there are per case
unless we use recursion
so $a_n:=$ number of colourings ( with the restriction ) with n triangles
CherryMan
and find a relationship between $a_n$, $a_{n-1}$ and $a_{n-2}$
CherryMan
hmm
so a_n+1 is not exactly 7a_n-1
you realise that right?
theres some correction to be done with a_n-2 @molten badger
sorry give me a min, my head's legit ached
its alright
my brain give up on me i can't process anything how can we find the relationship between an , an-1 and an-2
alright i guess we can walk through it
(also i might be wrong so please forgive me)
say we have a disk with n triangles
yes
say the first one is red
the nth one is yet to be coloured
IF the n-1'th triangle is not red
then we have 5 options for the nth one
IF the n-1'th triangle is red
we have 6 options for the nth one
sorry 5
oh okay
i'm processing 😭
yeah i got it
should i restart
@molten badger
so
CASE I:
colour of triangle 1 is not equal to colour of triangle n-1
notice how in all a_n-1 colourings the colour of the first and n-1 triangle cannot be equal
so our number for this case will be a_n-1 * 5 options for the nth one
CASE II:
colour of triangle 1 = colour of triangle n-1
notice how in all a_n-2 colourings the color of the first and n-2 triangle are not equal
so we can colour the n-1 triangle with the colour of the first
and then 6 options for the nth one
so here we have a_n-2 * 6
SO
we get $a_n = 5a_{n-1} + 6a_{n-2}$
CherryMan
my brain fail me, I will get some sleep and back tomorrow, thank for the help @random mica
I legit forget what i processed 2 mins ago after I pull out the calculator to calculate

how does 3cosec^2 (1x/2) for example turn into -6cot(1x/2)
instead of -3cot(1x/2)
what 😭
why are you writing
1x/2
wdym
because of the inside
chain rule
divide by half
so multiply by 2
so ur -3 becomes -6
if that makes sense
no point in typing 1x/2
because that's just x/2
yeah i just wanted to make it look like the question
my class so far only covered simple chain rule integration like (3x^2 + 6)^3 dx
you can't integrate that by reverse chain rule
wait but
ur doing trigonometric
before reverse chain rule?
that's
strange
sorry, without the ^2 in the brackets
we also did things like
integrating 3 / 2x + 7 dx
do u understand why it's -6 now?
nah
ok so like
imagine differentiating cot(x/2)
it becomes
1/2 csc^2(x/2), right?
@mystic crater
yes
yes
so we essentially multiply by 2 because of the inside, right?
that's why this becomes -6?
wdym multiply by 2 bc of the inside
