13

#

And 14 too

cursive harbor
#

Factorise the second equation

gilded lark
#

With the constant?

kind viper
#

progress on 13?

cursive harbor
#

Right sorry Ann

gilded lark
#

I did but got nothing

kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

Idk why but my image quality 🤌

kind viper
kind viper
#

ig i can say it: xy+x+y+1 factors as (x+1)(y+1).

kind viper
#

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)

kind viper
#

it isn't that long

gilded lark
#

Ohk

kind viper
#

do you want me to show you my thought process for how i did it just now

gilded lark
#

Pls

kind viper
gilded lark
kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

146

kind viper
#

of course it helps to know the first few primes

gilded lark
#

🙌let's move to 14th

kind viper
#

does the polynomial x^2 - x + 1 remind you of anything

kind viper
gilded lark
kind viper
#

you need to do questions that tickle your brain and make you spot patterns

kind viper
gilded lark
#

Omega SMTH tho I havent done complex no. completely

#

Or Newton's formula

kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

But 3 and hundred are not pretty factors😭

kind viper
#

(also definitely omega ω and not Omega Ω)

gilded lark
kind viper
gilded lark
kind viper
#

it is, but it is also just the uppercase letter omega

gilded lark
#

K=2?

kind viper
#

how did you get it

kind viper
kind viper
#

in fact i know it's wrong

gilded lark
#

Yea answer is 146 how ‼️

gilded lark
kind viper
gilded lark
kind viper
#

i thought we were done with 13 and now we are doing 14

#

the answer to 14 isn't 146 either

gilded lark
#

Oh yea sry

#

It's still 1‼️😭

#

How 🤔🧐

kind viper
gilded lark
#

This is pretty mathemystic that idk

kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

I'll stop at 1
Fr
Also +alpha^4 is equal to it

kind viper
#

half correct

#

you will stop at 1, yes. how many steps of 3 will you take on the way

kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

It's just I did that easy calculations in mind only

kind viper
kind viper
#

what's unclear?

gilded lark
#

Alpha^100= -alpha^1 ? How
Isn't it +
Bcoz Alpha^100=-alpha^4

kind viper
#

no you fucked up the signs

gilded lark
#

Ohk

#

So for even it's + and odd-

kind viper
#

thinking somewhat in the wrong direction here

gilded lark
#

?

kind viper
#

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

gilded lark
#

Oh Ohk

#

Answer is still 2

#

😭

#

Hell

kind viper
#

2 as given? or 2 as from your work?

gilded lark
#

My work😭

#

U would have to explain to me all😭
From the mid start

#

Define alpha^1=?

kind viper
#

but alpha^1 is just alpha

gilded lark
#

And what is alpha?

kind viper
#

one of the roots of that blasted quadratic thing

#

i will be back in 20 minutes

gilded lark
#

And how can I can answer by doing -alpha=alpha^100

random mica
#

look very simply alpha^100 = alpha * (alpha^3)^33 = alpha * (-1)^33 = -alpha

gilded lark
random mica
#

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?

gilded lark
kind viper
gilded lark
random mica
#

so whats the answer?

gilded lark
#

1

random mica
#

correct k=1

gilded lark
#

Ty 🙇‍♂️

random mica
#

next question?

gilded lark
#

Done ty
I'll be back after lunch if I need help

7. None of the above
cold sail
#

which part are u stuck at? and what have you tried? any relevant information will be appreciate

cold sail
#

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)

foggy cobalt
#

how should I write it

#

if its 180 deg and we have to find A1 should we calculate every side in the angle

cold sail
#

no

foggy cobalt

#

sorry I am bad in maths

cold sail
#

it’s ok

#

i was once like that

#

anyways

foggy cobalt
#

can I add you and do it there I dont like to talk on servers

#

then I can understand better

cold sail
#

i prefer do the bussiness here

foggy cobalt
#

okay sorry

#

I need a tutor

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'?

peak turret
#

Ping when replying

runic creek
#

Ur current working

#

@peak turret

peak turret
#

I don't know where to start?

#

@runic creek

runic creek
#

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

peak turret
#

y= (a/2- x) tan60°?

runic creek
#

Noice

#

Now just do the other steps

#

Set up the function and graph it

peak turret
#

Why graph?

runic creek
#

So u can easily spot the max

peak turret
#

a/2-x=x
Wouldn't this just give the maxima?

runic creek
#

Eh

#

Idrk bru

#

I'm no genius

#

All ik is graphing to find maximums

peak turret
#

Derivatives?

runic creek
#

But ik how to do them

#

Actually not that bad in this case, but graphing is just my fav

peak turret
#

Thanks anyways

runic creek
#

​To differentiate $\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)$ with respect to x

boreal girderBOT
#

Normie
Compile Error! Click the errors reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

sullen gorge
#

My problem is what to do after substituting the value of u which is 1-x/(1+x) into the cot inverse derivative

bleak dock
#

so you need to multiply by the derivative of (1-x)/(1+x) afterwards

sullen gorge
#

The derivative I am getting is

bleak dock
#

,w derivative of arccot(x)

sullen gorge
#

-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)

sullen gorge
#

,w derivative of (1-x)/(1+x)

sullen gorge
#

Which is basically what I got but it seems like there is a way here

#

They haven't opened the bracket

bleak dock
#
  1. multiply this by -2/(1 + x)^2
sullen gorge
#

That multiplication is so complex omg

#

Never done such before

#

Is this what you mean? @bleak dock

#

Forget the tan theta part

bleak dock
#

no

#

don't use tan theta

sullen gorge
#

No I am not using tan theta

bleak dock
# boreal girder

instead part 1) is $-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)^2 + 1}$

boreal girderBOT
sullen gorge
#

Hmm

#

That is $-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1-2x+x^2}{1+2x+x^2} + 1}$

boreal girderBOT
#

Normie
Compile Error! Click the errors reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)

bleak dock
#

it's better not to expand the denominator

#

why? cause in total you have $-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)^2 + 1} \cdot \frac{-2}{(1 + x)^2}$

sullen gorge
#

Oh

boreal girderBOT
sullen gorge
#

This still doesn't give the correct answer

bleak dock
#

what are you even doing

#

makes no sense

sullen gorge
#

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

bleak dock
boreal girderBOT
sullen gorge
#

Because it's not possible

bleak dock
#

bruh

sullen gorge
#

I will appreciate if you solve it yourself and show me

bleak dock
bleak dock
sullen gorge
#

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

sullen gorge
#

Chain rule method is too niche for this

#

Can someone explain the following

#

This is useful I think

#

,rotate

boreal girderBOT
bleak dock
sullen gorge
#

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

bleak dock
#

oh, it's a different order

sullen gorge
#

Nvm

bleak dock
#

so they did v' u - u v'

#

the same as u' v - u v'

sullen gorge
#

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 👨‍🦳💀

tender robin
#

how do u do b)?

compact pewterBOT
tender robin
#

am i meant to use vector resolute or something

kind viper
#

what's a vector resolute?

#

like, can you show what you're planning to do

tender robin
#

i have no idea

kind viper
tender robin
#

tbh

#

i know bisect means halfway but then AOB is an angle? so then idk

kind viper
#

this is actually just a matter of adding the unit vectors of a and b

#

and normalizing the result

tired rock
#

sounds like "vector resolute" is another way of saying "vector projection"?

tender robin
#

Yeah but what does that mean

#

what is normalizing

#

😭

kind viper
#

normalize = divide a vector by its own length

tender robin
#

ohh okok

kind viper
# tender robin why?

gonna need me to wait about 20 min to get back home before i can show you a diagram

tender robin
#

okay

#

for adding the a hat and b hat is it meant to be just

#

expanding

#

and collecting

kind viper
#

yes

#

just adding them as you would normally add any vectors

tender robin
#

ok i added it

#

and is that

#

it

#

wit idk how to normalise

strange ermine
tender robin
#

yeah but idk what the length is

#

is length just magnitude?

lavish gull
#

yes. a vector's length is its magnitude

strange ermine
bleak dock
#

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

tender robin
#

ohh ok

#

so when u add them u get the entire angle

#

interesting

bleak dock
#

yes and those two angles are the same (by SSS congruence)

tender robin
#

and what exactly is a hat? the magnitude?

kind viper
tender robin
#

i mean

#

not magnitude

#

angle

bleak dock
#

$\hat{a}, \hat{b}$

boreal girderBOT
tender robin
#

isnt a bolded letter just a vector

strange ermine
bleak dock
#

yeah this is one of these things that is ambiguous

bleak dock
#

and it's the one we're all using

#

here

strange ermine
boreal girderBOT
#

Alberto Z.

strange ermine
tender robin
#

my teacher got me writing a squiggly line on top of the letter

#

and then we gotta add hats or something

strange ermine
bleak dock
#

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

strange ermine
strange ermine
#

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

tender robin
#

okay

#

do u guys know rectangular components?

strange ermine
#

Sure, we know

tender robin
#

could you teach me the process?

tender robin
#

idk what to do after that

strange ermine
#

I'm sorry, I don't know what resolution means

tender robin

oh allgood

hellooo i have a question

compact pewterBOT
runic pagoda
#

so i have to create an equation

chilly basalt
#

Yes 🙂

runic pagoda
#

and make it so that the volume revoluting arounf the y axis = 400-600

#

so um

mild sky
#

Take a circle and scale it?

runic pagoda
#

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

chilly basalt
#

How about a rectangle?

mild sky
#

400-600 i.e between those values?

runic pagoda
#

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?

mild sky
#

No

runic pagoda
#

thats the question

mild sky
#

You should have started with that...

runic pagoda
#

AHAHA SORRY

mild sky
#

Yeah z=x^2 is good

But you need to scale by half or something

hey guys

compact pewterBOT
remote bane
chilly basalt
remote bane
#

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

kind viper
#

if $b = xv_1 + yv_2$ then you can also say $b = (x-y)v_1 + yv_1 + yv_2 = (x-y)v_1 + y(v_1+v_2)$

boreal girderBOT
kind viper
#

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!)

remote bane
#

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?

upbeat gorge
remote bane
#

oooh wait I can't use the zero vector cuz it's in the span of everything

upbeat gorge
#

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

boreal girderBOT
#

haseeb

upbeat gorge
#

like for A: $v_2 = (v_1 + v_2) + (-1)(v_1)$ is a linear combination of $(v_1 + v_2)$ and $v_1$

boreal girderBOT
#

haseeb

upbeat gorge
#

and of course $v_1$ is in the spanning set

boreal girderBOT
#

haseeb

remote bane
#

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

#

remote bane
#

i mean

#

im a fast solver i don't mind picking 3 different vectors and trying them all

#

i understand ur concern tho

upbeat gorge
#

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

upbeat gorge
remote bane
#

those are the same vectors though i wouldn't do that

upbeat gorge
#

i suppose you can pick vectors to disprove certain options in this case, but working generically is better

remote bane
#

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

upbeat gorge
#

that is a really good explanation :)

remote bane
#

oh fr

#

. uh np, although i think that was all you :)
also, you could probably make a situation where picking linearly independent vectors will give you the wrong answer - particularly past 2 dimensions

remote bane
#

so it's either R^2 or R^1 cuz we're given 2 vectors?

upbeat gorge
#

. or R^0, a singular point

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

If you're asking why -9-(-8) = 17
It isn't

-9-(-8) is not 17.

-9 - (-8) is -1.

oh i lagged iys -1

yeah but why

-9 - (-8) = -9 + 8 = 1

#

you can visualize it on a number line

weak cobalt

You sure you "lagged"? 'cause -(-9)-(-8) = 17

for addition purposes, -9 means go nine steps left and +8 means go eight steps right

fresh breach
#

i have two sets which are not subset of each other but they share common elements

fresh breach
#

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

kind viper
#

A \ B

fresh breach
#

lets say A={1,2,3,5} B={3,5,7,10} what is compleement of A with respect to B

weak cobalt
#

To talk about a complement, you do need one to be a subset

kind viper
#

but also,

#

!xy

compact pewterBOT
#

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.

weak cobalt
#

But you can talk about the set difference in general

kind viper
#

that would be B \ A

weak cobalt
#

Actually I'm probably wrong; the relative complement doesn't need subsets, it's just synonymous with set difference

fresh breach
kind viper
#

so?

#

do you consider B\A to be undefined unless A ⊆ B

#

yes or no

fresh breach
#

so were talking about relative complement or absolute one?

kind viper
#

"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.

weak cobalt
fresh breach
#

hm so its homework for my little brother but i can translate the definition their teacher gave them

kind viper
#

send a photo of the thing

weak cobalt
#

I'd rather you just take a picture

#

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

boreal girderBOT

#

alright then ill tell my brother to ask his teacher about their definition

weak cobalt
#

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

kind viper
#
???ech B je podmnožina množiny A dop???? množiny B v množine A
fresh breach
#

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

weak cobalt
#

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

kind viper
#

are you telling me THIS is k?

#

😭

weak cobalt

But in general B is not required to be a subset of A

😭😭

you have "k doesnt look like k" disease 😭

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?

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

therefore p"

compact pewterBOT
#

@strange pendant Has your question been resolved?

upbeat gorge
strange pendant
upbeat gorge
#

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

upbeat gorge
# boreal girder **Renato**

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 $\neg p$?

boreal girderBOT
#

haseeb

strange pendant
#

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

upbeat gorge
upbeat gorge
strange pendant
#

simplifies to p -> q

strange pendant
#

and still p -> true holds

upbeat gorge
upbeat gorge
#

this is about as much as you can manipulate with the variables. after that, you'd have to look at truth values

strange pendant
#

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

upbeat gorge
# strange pendant how so?

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)

strange pendant
#

dude

#

what am I supposed to do to solve this Q?

upbeat gorge
#

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

strange pendant
#

what?

upbeat gorge
#

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

strange pendant
#

IF LALO AND LEO SLEPT AT THEIR GRANDMAS HOUSE, THEY ATE COOKIES IS P -> Q

#

LALO AND LEO SLEPT AT GRANDMAS IS P

#

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

upbeat gorge

what's the negation of Q -> P, in words?

strange pendant

NOT(IF LALO AND LEO ATE COOKIES THEN THEY WENT TO GRANMA)

strange pendant

LALO AND LEO ATE COOKIES AND THEY WERENT AT GRANNYS HOUSE

upbeat gorge

right, and our question is: is this possible, given what we know

strange pendant
#

WHAT DO WE KNOW

#

@upbeat gorge

#

?

upbeat gorge
#

if p -> q and q is true

strange pendant
#

q is cookies

strange pendant
#

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)

boreal girderBOT
#

Renato

upbeat gorge
#

we are trying to prove it is possibly false, not always

strange pendant
#

dude is hard

strange pendant
upbeat gorge
#

let's do it like this then

#

$$\underbrace{q \land (p \to q)}{\text{true}} \land \underbrace{(q \to p)}{\text{false}}$$

boreal girderBOT
#

haseeb

upbeat gorge
#

pick a truth value for q and p that makes this happen

#

and conclude that the whole thing is false in that specific case

strange pendant
#

well

strange pendant
upbeat gorge
#

there you are

#

since the "identity" fails, it's not always true

strange pendant
#

i mean

#

using truth table is cheating

#

but i get the idea

upbeat gorge
#

you raise a good point

strange pendant
#

like only because they went to grandma does not necesarilly mean they had cookie

upbeat gorge
#

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

upbeat gorge
#

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.

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)

paper anchor
#

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

pliant canopy
#

I am a little confused

#

So do i subtract the right from i

paper anchor
#

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

how do u solve this

#

this is the teachers example

rigid sparrow
#

is the question to find its total surface area?

oblique rapids
#

yep

rigid sparrow
#

its simple

#

try thinking of it as a quater of a cylinder

oblique rapids
#

oh

#

thats it

rigid sparrow
#

do you know what is surface area of a cylinder

oblique rapids
#

yes

rigid sparrow
#

no thats not it actually

#

do not forget the remaining 2 rectangular surfaces

oblique rapids
#

so a quater cyclinder plus the who rectangle

rigid sparrow
#

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

oblique rapids
#

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

molten badger
#

It's a 20 sided regular polygon

kind viper
#

do you mean like the probability that there are no two adjacent same colored regions ANYWHERE

graceful kelp
#

TSR, SRQ, ..., ATS

kind viper
#

..

#

can you maybe share the original

molten badger
#

It's not in english ...

#

oh wait

kind viper
#

i don't see a way without nasty incl excl bashing

molten badger
kind viper
#

not sure if i have it fleshed out rn

hushed magnet
#

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

royal vale
#

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

hushed magnet
#

we are enumerating them clockwise

royal vale
#

ya

hushed magnet
#

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

royal vale
#

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

molten badger
#

I'm processing, my brain is so fried rn I even have hard time understanding english bearlain

royal vale
#

like think of how many colors can the triangle have

molten badger
#

yeah your way is 7*6^{18}*5 right?

royal vale
#

yes

molten badger
#

I mean I thought of that but it seems wrong

royal vale
#

idk could be right ig

#

then div by total no of combination

hushed magnet
#

you cant just do that

#

the last triangle does not have the same 6 choices

#

cause it borders the first one

hushed magnet
#

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

molten badger
#

can we split it into 2 cases to count

royal vale
#

oh wait i get why my method is wrong i misread the question im sorry

molten badger
#

7*6^{17}(5*5+6) ?

#

Can't be this easy must be wrong somewherebearlain

hushed magnet
#

well took 25 minutes

#

seems fine

@molten badger Has your question been resolved?

molten badger
#

Is inclusion and exclusion the only way?

random mica
#

how about recursion

#

@molten badger

molten badger
#

How're we gonna use recursion?

#

I genuinely have no idea

random mica
graceful kelp
random mica
#

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

hushed magnet
molten badger
#

Could you explain it more

random mica
#

well

#

the problem with normal counting

molten badger
#

sorry my brain is cooked today

random mica
#

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

boreal girderBOT
#

CherryMan

random mica
#

and find a relationship between $a_n$, $a_{n-1}$ and $a_{n-2}$

boreal girderBOT
#

CherryMan

molten badger
#

hmm

random mica
#

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

molten badger
#

sorry give me a min, my head's legit ached

random mica
#

its alright

molten badger
#

my brain give up on me i can't process anything how can we find the relationship between an , an-1 and an-2

random mica
#

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

molten badger
random mica
#

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

molten badger
#

we have 7 colors

random mica
#

sorry 5

molten badger
#

oh okay

random mica
#

wait im messing up

#

yeah

#

now how often is the n-1 th triangle red?

#

uhm

molten badger
#

i'm processing 😭

random mica
#

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 $a_n = 5a_{n-1} + 6a_{n-2}$

#

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)

icy nymph
#

why are you writing

#

1x/2

mystic crater
#

wdym

icy nymph
#

chain rule

#

divide by half

#

so multiply by 2

#

so ur -3 becomes -6

#

if that makes sense

icy nymph
mystic crater
mystic crater
icy nymph
icy nymph
#

ur doing trigonometric

#

before reverse chain rule?

#

that's

#

strange

mystic crater
#

we also did things like

#

integrating 3 / 2x + 7 dx

icy nymph
#

do u understand why it's -6 now?

mystic crater
icy nymph
#

imagine differentiating cot(x/2)

#

it becomes
1/2 csc^2(x/2), right?

#

@mystic crater

mystic crater
icy nymph
#

integrating 1/2 csc^2(x/2) = cot(x/2), right?

mystic crater
#

yes

icy nymph
#

so we essentially multiply by 2 because of the inside, right?

icy nymph
mystic crater
#

wdym multiply by 2 bc of the inside
