what about 3 digit numbera?

tired bear
#

you can

kind viper
#

it does, but the point is you've counted 4343 twice

#

so take 1 off

tired bear
clever stratus

#

including 0 includes smaller numbers

noble sorrel

tired bear
#

na i think only 4343 being common is the problem

kind viper
#

correcting for an overcount is quite a common thing to do in combinatorics

tired bear
#

you can include 0 here because of any number of digits

#

for larger number of digits

#

you might have to use inclusion-exclusion

alright yt

Can someone check 120. And then lmk how I should go about 121

thorny kestrel
#

You did the wrong sub

#

For 121

raw dawn
#

The trig sub?

thorny kestrel
#

You need to split the second fraction into something of the form $\alpha \frac{2ax+b}{(ax+b)^2 + c}$ and $\frac{\beta}{(ax+b)^2 + c}$ where $\alpha, \beta, a, b, c$ are all constants

boreal girderBOT
#

bloubbloub

thorny kestrel
#

Both of which have nice antiderivatives

#

Also there are tricks you can use for partial fraction decomposition

raw dawn
#

Should I split up the -x and +2 and bring the negative to the front

raw dawn
#

Unless if it’s like

#

Literally arctanx

#

Or something

spiral matrix
thorny kestrel
#

Sure but solving systems is wayyyy more time consuming than just doing it the "simple" way

raw dawn
#

good practice encase I have to do matrices again lol

#

do you know if #120 is right

thorny kestrel
#

I think it's right

raw dawn
# thorny kestrel I think it's right

Do you know where I could check besides here, I tried asking all the math teachers at my school but there’s only 2 calc teachers and one is too busy and the other doesn’t have free periods the same as me

thorny kestrel
#

Well there are websites that can calculate integrals

Any suggestions for any specific ones

How to solve this ?

use screenshots if you have an actual question

verbal kiln
#

What exactly are you stuck on about this?

#

It looks like he already answered the question?

rapid crescent
#

If you just have a question like "hey I saw this integral in a video and I was curious ..." then it would be fine, but if you're just grabbing questions to try and trick people or waste people's times that's not particularly nice.

brazen quiver
#

to be honest, this problem looks gross, and I doubt you'll find anyone willing to help you with it.

kind crane

#

the most likely thing that will happen is you factor the numerator and denominator, some things cancel, and you're left with something that is a variation on the basel problem and something that is a variation of some other well known sum

rapid crescent

Mmm

#

@HenryWhitmore

#

@brazen quiver A user wrote to me yesterday in DM because he was kicked out of the discord, what should I reply?

quartz yoke
#

can someone help me understand induction proof on recursive algorithms

#

i dont quite understand

compact pewterBOT
#

@quartz yoke Has your question been resolved?

quartz yoke
#

im only asking because i thought inductive proof was intended for positive integers

near jay
#

It’s induction on the number of characters

#

Those are integers

#

And the base case for induction can be any integer, 1, 20, 0, -15

quartz yoke
near jay
#

Induction can also go downwards, and doing both directions gives all integers

quartz yoke
weak cobalt
#

No, that's "character 1" followed by "character 2" and so on until "character k+1"

#

s has length k+1

near jay
#

Depending on how it’s defined characters won’t have a length or if they do it’s length 1

quartz yoke
#

thats k long

#

like c_2 is 2 long

weak cobalt
#

... no, c_1c_2 is 2 long

#

If you want to talk about a substring, you can introduce a new notation, but c_2 is a character, not a substring

#

As such, it has no "length" property

gilded lodge
#

Can anyone please tell me if I did this correctly?

bleak dock
#

I have these small improvements for you though

#
  1. it's not 3x^3 - 5x^3 ofc, it's 3x^3 - 5x^2
    luckily that didn't affect the rest of your working
#
  1. align your work! -5x^2 should be directly above 4x^2
#

the way you're aligning your work right now, it's very easy for you to make arithmetic mistakes

gilded lodge
#

Ok thank I'll write it again

#

Tysm for the tips

bleak dock
#

also you forgot the bracket, so it's -(6x - 18)

#

that's not too important though, as it's clear you're subtracting correctly

bleak dock
#

,w (x^4 - 5x^2 - 6x - 10) / (x - 3) quotient and remainder

gilded lodge
bleak dock
#

type this in and you can check your answers

gilded lodge
#

Ok thank you

bleak dock
# boreal girder

oh yeah you needed to write (x^3 + 3x^2 + 4x + 6)(x - 3) + 8 out, as per the question instructions

#

but I suppose quotient = ... and remainder = .... is also pretty clear

hexed ferry
#

ok so

compact pewterBOT
hexed ferry
#

we have a bounded sequeunce x(n)

#

into the real numbers

#

then we define the seqeunce y by y(n)=sup{x_i : i>=n}

#

prove y(n) converges

#

I think it's easy to show y is monotone decreasing

#

and then y should also be bounded

hushed magnet
#

yes

hexed ferry
#

but thats all i thought of so far

tranquil mist
#

I think we will started by x is bounded

hushed magnet
#

well thats it

#

monotone + bounded implies convergent

#

monotone convergence theorem

tranquil mist
hushed magnet
#

sure if you hate yourself

hexed ferry
#

it says

#

we can appeal to general theorems about real sequences

hexed ferry
hushed magnet
#

they mean that you are supposed to use mct

hexed ferry
#

ok

#

i didnt know cuz

#

we didnt have lectures on it yet

#

just we were supposed to read rudin

#

and figure it out

hushed magnet
#

well rudin has it somewhere

#

so that should be fine

twilit patrol
#

Can someone please explain why $\sum_{k=2}^ \infty \frac{1}{\ln(k)}$ diverges? A series converges if $\lim_{k\to\infty] a_k = 0$ and the limit $\frac{1}{\ln(k)$ as k goes to infinity is 0

hushed magnet
#

that implication is the wrong way

#

$\sum a_k$ converges implies that $\lim a_k=0$

(You may edit your message to recompile.)

hushed magnet
#

$\lim a_k=0$ does NOT imply $\sum a_k$ converges

boreal girderBOT
#

Denascite

hushed magnet
#

the harmonic sum is the classic counterexample

#

i.e. sum 1/k

twilit patrol
#

So uhh, if the series converges, that implies that the limit of the series is 0?

hushed magnet
#

the limit of the terms of the series is 0, yes

twilit patrol
#

You just also explained another question that I had for a while

#

why the harmonic series are divergent...

#

oh my god, I always thought that if the limit of the terms of the series is 0, then the series is convergent

#

ohh this clears up so many issues ive had

#

I will revisit the subchapter again

thank you so so so much Denascite

#

Hi.

#

I am stuck on this problem.

#

Pls help.

strong ivy
#

What have you tried?>

rich pollen
#

I did The area of the circle / The area of the rectangle

strong ivy
#

And you got..?

rich pollen
#

I got an answer.

#

A fraction.

strong ivy
#

a fraction sounds right

rich pollen
#

I have a question: What if the diagonals of the faces of the die are equal to the diameter of the circle?

kind viper
strong ivy
#

Then the math gets a lot harder

#

Here you treat the die like a single point, yes, like ann said

ripe ether
kind viper
#

also since when has a die been 1 meter across

kind viper
ripe ether
#

as well they might also be making the assumption that the die landing at each position of the square is "equal" (uniform or something i forgot the word for it)

#

all of these should be specifiedsully

rich pollen
#

Okay.

#

Thank you.

#

I have another different question.

strong ivy
#

go for it

rich pollen
#

I think the second argument is wrong even though the conclusion happens to be correct.

strong ivy
#

What makes you think that?

rich pollen
#

The argument is that since there are only two possible outcomes, the probability of each outcome is the same - 1/2 - but we must check if the number of odd numbers = the number of even numbers on the die

strong ivy
#

Yeah, you're exactly right

#

It's not about the number of outcomes, but the actual chance of reaching each outcome

rich pollen
#

Yes, thank you.

ripe ether
rich pollen
#

Is a cubical die fair?

ripe ether
rich pollen
#

Oh.

#

Okay.

#

Interesting. Thank you.

eager plinth
#

i wanna know how i can prove y is -2

compact pewterBOT
eager plinth
#

do i get x in terms of y

#

then substitute in

#

but then i’m still left with 2 unknowns

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

but they’re different symbols?

#

same sign subtract

#

or does that not apply anymore

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

if the equations have the same sign (- or +) then you can subtract one from the other

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

eh idk

#

i feel like we learnt this a different way

#

i found this from my class resources

bleak dock
# eager plinth

do you understand why they turned x - 2ky = 5 into 3x - 6ky = 15?

eager plinth
#

they multiplied by 3

bleak dock
#

yes, but why?

eager plinth
#

to make the x values the same

#

so they cancel out

bleak dock
#

so okay, if the 2kx becomes a 4kx, we can eliminate it

eager plinth
#

so if i multiply the first equation by 3 i can cancel out the y?

#

oh wait i need y

bleak dock
#

so what do you have to do to 2kx - y = 4 to make that happen?

flint wing
#

south w the clutch

bleak dock
#

you don't want to eliminate y

#

my point is that if you eliminate x, you only have y

eager plinth
#

okay so i have 4kx - 2y = 8

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

so now i subtract one from the other

bleak dock
#

yep

eager plinth
#

nearly drew the integration symbol

bleak dock
#

lol

#

but you got it!

#

nice work

eager plinth
#

awesome thanks

#

i started teaching myself integration yesterday

#

i got up to area under a curve

bleak dock
#

you'll find that a lot of integration exercises require a ton of algebra

#

you'll see yourself in your book or whatever

eager plinth
#

just sat down for 3 hours and did it over and over

bleak dock
#

oh yeah it's not that hard to learn the reverse power rule

#

$\int x^n \ dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} + c$

boreal girderBOT
eager plinth
#

i was doing the x^n+1 / n+1

bleak dock
#

and then with definite integration you do (upper value - lower value)

eager plinth
#

what does in respect to x actually mean?

bleak dock
#

so +c - (+c) cancels out

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

no i do not

bleak dock
#

each rectangle has a tiny, tiny width

bleak dock
#

they're called Riemann sums to find the picture online

eager plinth
#

oh i’ve done that before

bleak dock
eager plinth
#

splitting up the area under curves into 3 parts then finding the area

bleak dock
#

cool and then the heights of the rectangles are f(x)

eager plinth
#

did it in biology

bleak dock
#

okay so that's actually a rule called the trapezoid rule

#

that's a legit calculus thing, yes

eager plinth
#

seriously?

#

like splitting up the area under curves into rectangles

#

to find an estimate for the area

bleak dock
#

but rectangles also work for the approximation

eager plinth
#

isn’t calculus itself like splitting the area under curves into infinitely small rectangles to find the exact area

ornate garnet
#

Can't you use like any polygon for approximation

#

Although it affects the accuracy ofc

eager plinth
bleak dock
bleak dock
ornate garnet
bleak dock
eager plinth
#

#

there’s no real roots

Hello! I made these three limits, and I don’t know if they’re correct. Can someone correct them?

verbal kiln
#

Can you send the limits?

wintry root
verbal kiln
#

Those all look correct.

#

Did you get an answer for the 1^𝑥 one?

wintry root
#

Sorry I forget to make one

#

It’d be 1?

verbal kiln
#

yes.

#

i hate limits

wintry root
#

And I was like no?

verbal kiln
wintry root
#

Lim x->infinite 1^x

#

It’s not indefinite, right?

#

Also, are you sure? I love your bioxd

verbal kiln
#

If you even put a giant number it’s still 1.

#

1^𝑥 = 1, 𝑥 ∈ C

Hartshorne example 6.5.2 : On $Spec(k[x,y,z]/ (xy-z^2))$, let $D$ be the divisor $(y, z)$. Why is $div(y) = 2D$? The textbook says $y = 0 \rightarrow z^2 = 0$, but I'm not sure what that has to do with $div(y) = 2D$. Don't we need to localize at $(y, z)$, find a uniformizing parameter, etc. ?

@mortal sentinel Has your question been resolved?

haughty trout
#

“y=0\—> z^2=0” is shorthand for the same
local observation: at points of the divisor (y,z) the equation
xy=z^2 forces y to look like a square of z up to a unit, hence
the vanishing multiplicity is 2. The rigorous way is exactly the
localization argument above (find the uniformizer z in A_p
and compute the valuation of y).

limpid narwhal
#

f(x) = 1/3, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, the variance is 0.75.

I am confused, why the variance wouldn't be equal to 0? When are we deviating from the mean in a constant function?

limpid narwhal
#

I understand how to calculate it but intuitively I would think it would be 0

#

I would like an intuitive understanding of it

hushed magnet
#

the density might be constant, sure

#

but that doesnt mean the random variable is

#

like if we have a fair coin we also have a "constant" density p(head)=p(tails)=1/2 but clearly we can get different results

#

same idea here

#

the density is constant but the random variable could be any number from 0 to 3

flint cliff
#

so far i've done R1>1/5*R1

#

R3>R3-2R1

#

That seems like a pretty difficult way to start this

#

Back to the beggining note that if you perform R2>R2 + R3, R2 looks quite similar to R1

So I’d start there

You could also do R3>R3 + R2

Instead of the other

honest nest
#

Is this true?:

If a characteristic function is Riemann-Integrable, such function must be piecewise constant

mild sky
#

what do you mean by a characteristic function?

honest nest
#

the function 1_A: A -> {0,1} st 1_A(x) = 1 iff x belongs to A

#

otherwise its 0

mild sky
#

also what do you consider piecewise constant

honest nest
#

from my book

mild sky
#

one last thing, is the domain of the characteristic function all of the real numbers or just some interval?

honest nest
#

its a set in the Reals

#

not necessarily an interval ig

mild sky
#

well look at 1_Z where Z are the integers

#

its reimann integrable with integral 0

#

but its not constant on each of a finite number of intervals

honest nest
#

Sorry, the set must be bounded, that's my oversight

#

I mean in the case I'm trying to apply this to that is

#

also Q is not bounded or am I missing something

#

maybe u meant Q intersection [0,1]?

mild sky
#

I meant an intersection with whatever bounded interval you want

#

yeah

honest nest
#

makes sense. But yeah, not Riemann Integrable

mild sky
#

take the set $A = \left {\frac{1}{2^n} \mid n \in \bN \right }$

boreal girderBOT
#

ExpertEsquieESQUIE

mild sky
#

its closure is itself with 0, and that set has measure 0, and thus 1_A is Reimann integrable

#

but you have infinitely many discontinuities, so the function 1_A cannot be piecewise constant

honest nest
#

so you have infinitely many discontinuities but not so many that the measure of the set of discontinuities will be greater than 0?

mild sky
#

yeah

#

you just have countable amount of discontinuities

#

and countable sets have measure 0

honest nest
#

so it cannot be piecewise constant clearly

mild sky
#

yes

honest nest
#

ahh that complicates things

#

well thank you v much for your help

I'll close the channel now

low pulsar
#

how do i solve 0 = -0.6 |x-3| + 6.5

compact pewterBOT
#

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

low pulsar
#

-6.5 both sides

#

-6.5 = -0.6 |x-3|

lost jackal
#

You assume first that what's inside the absolute value is greater than or equal zero and solve it
Then assume that what's inside the absolute value is smaller than zero then solve for it again

#

@low pulsar understandable?

boreal dawn
low pulsar
low pulsar
#

it gives 10,83 = |x-3|

#

i dont get this part

lost jackal
#

to be able to solve these problem
They might have multiple answers or just one answer or none
So to make sure
We first check if a solution exist if what's inside the absolute value is greater than 0
In your example
X-3

Because we assume that it is greater than 0 we can remove the absolute value brackets and solve it normally

#

If the final value of X matches our initial assumption, then the answer is a solution to the problem.

low pulsar
#

wait dude im so sorry i did a mistake

#

the 0 is in the wrong placr

#

f(x) = -0.6 |0-3| + 6.5

#

-0.6(-3)

#

+6.5

#

?

lost jackal
#

Umm
So what is exactly the question

low pulsar
#

im trying to find a coordinate

#

with my absolute value equation

lost jackal
#

Like a point on the graph ?

low pulsar
#

trying to find y

#

yes

lost jackal
#

You are trying to find y intersection

#

So you substituted x = 0
That is correct by far

low pulsar
#

yeah

lost jackal
#

The absolute value turns negative values to positive values so |-3| = 3

low pulsar
#

oh

#

y gives ms 4.7

lost jackal
#

,calc -0.6 * 3 + 6.5

boreal girderBOT
#

Result:

4.7
low pulsar
#

nice

lost jackal
#

Yes correct

low pulsar
#

alright thanks for ur help

#

but

#

0 = -0.6 |x-3| + 6.5

#

what if it was this

#

this one i dont know how to solve

lost jackal
#

Here you want the x intersection

#

As I said you first assume that what's inside the absolute value is greater than 0

#

So |x-3| = x-3

#

Then solve it normally

#

If the final value of x atchieves the first assumption then it is a solution

low pulsar
#

wait how did u get x-3 = |x-3|

#

did u first solve it

#

-6.5 both sides

lost jackal
#

I assumed that x - 3 > 0
So |x - 3| = x - 3

low pulsar
#

what do i replace the x with

lost jackal
#

We don't replace the x

#

We solve for it

low pulsar
#

alright how

lost jackal
#

By solving for a single unknown variable in a linear equation

#

You can search that up in YouTube if you don't know what is it

#

Here X is an unknown variable I want to find its value

#

So by solving for it we want to try find its value
We usually do that by trying to isolate x on its own

low pulsar
#

ok but what happend to the initial equation with 0 = -0.6 |x-3| + 6.5

lost jackal
#

So first let's assume that what's in inside the absolute value is bigger than 0
Meaning x - 3 > 0
This makes
|x -3| = (x - 3)

low pulsar
#

alright yes

#

what do we do with this

lost jackal
#

We substitute it in the original question and solve for x
0 = -0.6(x - 3) + 6.5

#

0 = -0.6x + (-0.6)(-3) + 6.5

#

And then you can complete

low pulsar
#

ah

low pulsar
lost jackal
#

After we solve for the previous case we can find that

#

,wolf 0 = -0.6x + (-0.6)(-3) + 6.5

boreal girderBOT
lost jackal
#

Here as we can see x is 13.8333
Checking the first assumption
13.8333 - 3 = 10.8333 > 0
Assumption is true
Then this x is a solution

#

After that we want to find if there would be a solution for x - 3 < 0
So we assume that x - 3 < 0
This will make
|x - 3| = -(x-3) = (3-x)
Then we will do as we did earlier

#

@low pulsar understandable?

low pulsar
#

i see yes

#

@lost jackal last question

#

what form is tis

#

like i need o find the surface of this

lost jackal
#

The surface area?

low pulsar
#

of the part i scribbled

#

the white

#

i got every single coordinate

lost jackal
#

I think it's easier if you took the area of the whole shape and subtracted the area of the smaller shape from it

low pulsar
#

how do i get the area of the whole shape

#

like its not a pentagon

#

i need to like divide it into shapes

lost jackal
#

Dividing it like this will make it easy to calculate the area

#

After that we want the area of the unwanted shape

#

Calculate them then subtract

low pulsar
#

how do i find the height of the triangle

#

ohhh

#

nvm

#

i know how

#

aalright ill do that thank you

\text{Let $R$ be a binary relation over $A$ and $B$. Then we have the following definitions:}

 $R$ is called  left-unique iff $\forall x \in A, \forall y \in A, \forall z \in B, ((x,z) \in R \land (y,z) \in R \implies x=y).$\\
$R$ is called  right-unique iff $\forall x \in A, \forall y \in B, \forall z \in B, ((x,y) \in R \land (x,z) \in R \implies y=z).$\\
  $R$ is called left-total with respect to B iff $\forall x \in A, \exists y \in B, (x,y) \in R$.\\

$R$ is called right-total with respect to A iff $\forall x \in B, \exists y \in A, (y,x) \in R$.\
$R^{-1}$ is the binary relation ${(y,x) \mid \exists x \in A, \exists y \in B, (x,y) \in R}$.\
$R$ is called a function from $A$ onto $B$ iff $R$ is right-unique and left-total with respect to $B$.\
$R$ is called an injection (injective) iff $R$ is a left-unique function.\
$R$ is called a surjection with respect to $A$ (surjective) iff $R$ is right-total with respect to $A$ and is function.\
$R$ is called a bijection (bijective) iff $R$ is an injection and a surjection with respect to $A$.\
Let $T$ be a binary relation over $B$ and $C$. The composition of $T$ and $R$, denoted $T \circ R$, is the set ${(x,z) \mid \exists y, (x,y) \in R \land (y,z) \in T }$.

i felt like it was necessary to say with respect to for the totality ones

but wiki didnt

#

does respect make sense or is there a better way to word it

or should i say over domain R / range R

or over its domain

/ over its range

so for left and right total it is necessary to give some indication we mean on B and A respectively of course

#

it feels awkward saying with respect to, especially for the bijection

#

is there a better phrasing

#

maybe from A and onto B?

#

i feel like onto is reserved for functions maybe

#

for the unique ones there might be an issue too cuz

#

if A' is a superset of A and B' is a superset of B

#

R is a binary relation over A' and B'

#

but

#

the definition could be contradictory

#

oh shoot i could just say over A and B in every case

hey guys just checking, if we were to calculate something say P(X=1)*P(Y=2), thats probaiblity 2 out of 10 drivers are drunk AND 1 out of the 10 drivers are not wearing seatbelt, it also include case where 2 of the drunk drivers may be the one that is also not wearing a seatbelt so we have cases where there is only total 2 people committing all the offences

but ive asked the math teacher, ill do some revision on other topics while i wait for the reply

kindred hemlock
unkempt flower
#

you too!

dense dagger
#

If they are not, you would need to apply inclusion-exclusion

kindred hemlock
#

ah i see, thank you for teling me

#

thats a very tricky things that i should consider everytime i consider AND probabilities

kindred hemlock
dense dagger
#

Yep, weird setup but yeah theyre independent so you just multiply them

kindred hemlock
#

ye i know right its weird

kindred hemlock
dense dagger
#

Need inclusion-exclsuion since they're not disjoint

#

P(drunk OR no belt) + P(drunk) + P(no belt) - P(drunk AND no belt)

#

Since independent, P(drunk AND no belt) + P(drunk) * P(no belt)

#

Once you find P(drunk OR no belt), call it "p"

#

You then just do Binomial(10, p) and plug in 3 for the parameter to find the probability that exactly 3 are drunk or not wearing a belt

ah i see that is smart, that makes sense

dry night
#

kinda stuck on this

compact pewterBOT
dry night
#

not even sure where to start

#

well

#

I notice that the first group has an highest order element of 8

#

and the second group highest is 4

#

but thats about it

#

hm so if f is an homomorphism from G to G'

#

we have |f(G)| divides |G| and |G'|

#

so if we have a homorphism for this

#

nvm that wont be useful here

#

maybe I can use f(g^n) = f(g)^n

#

and find an element where this is false

young raft
#

like the trivial homomorphism exists but isn't onto

dry night
#

whats the trivial homomorphism, f(g) = g?

young raft
#

f(g) = 0

#

send everything to identity

young raft
#

also notice that $\forall g\in \bZ_8 \oplus \bZ_2$, we have that the second component of $g^2$ is 0

boreal girderBOT
#

artemetra

young raft
#

might be helpful but idk

#

oh wait

#

consider the generators of G'

dry night
#

there are no generators right

young raft
#

wdym

#

(1,0) and (0,1) ?

dry night
#

of Z4 Z4?

#

I thought external product of Zm and Zn is only cyclic if m n are relatively prime

young raft
#

that's true

dry night
#

I think I got the solution

#

rought draft solution srry for poor handwriting and grammar

#

does this seem right?

#

got that mixed up a bit

#

there exists an element of order 4 ot lower in Gbar that is mapped to by an element of order 8

#

wait hmm

#

that makes this wrong then

#

yeah this proof is wrong idk what I was writing

#

I need some sleep 😭

sinful willow
#

Hello Im new and I needed help with this question

sinful willow
#

Can anyone correct me where I went wrong

rotund wave
#

i think this step is wrong

#

you can't take the limit of part of the expression like that

#

otherwise you could say $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{0}{x} = 0$

clear swan
# sinful willow

if x = 0, sine of x gives you 0. In the second to last line, you divide 0 by 0. It gives you undefined. i believe in that case you must use l'hopitals rule

boreal girderBOT
#

rotund wave
#

by l'hopital, if u like

strange ermine
#

Why not simply by squaring sinx/x ? 🤔

rotund wave

yes also that

eager plinth
#

how do i find a variable in the terms of a constant

eager plinth
#

do i make the equation equal the variable?

hushed magnet
#

wdym? x=7?

#

an example might help

eager plinth
#

something like

#

x = 2k

#

where k is the constant

#

i can give an example

#

find y in terms of k

#

what do i need to do?

hushed magnet
#

plug x=-2 into the first equation

#

rearrange to get y=(something in terms of k)

eager plinth
#

awesome thanks

#

was just confused what i needed to do

eager plinth
hushed magnet
#

2ky-(-2)=4

eager plinth
#

my book says yes

hushed magnet
#

yes

#

you need to exclude k=0 tho

kind hollow
#

when we have a sum that goes from 0 to n, and we wanna do n-->n+1, do we only change the upper limit of the sum? im talking abt the case in which n is also inside the sum

viscid shard
#

so something like $\sum_{k = 0}^n 2k$?

boreal girderBOT
kind hollow
#

nono lemme write my example actually

viscid shard
#

sure

kind hollow
#

,tex
$\sum_{i= 0}^{n} n $

boreal girderBOT
#

fijokazż

kind hollow
#

just this

viscid shard
#

uh

verbal kiln
#

What do you mean by 𝑛 —> 𝑛 + 1?

mild sky
#

Its i-->i+1

kind hollow
#

u=n+1

viscid shard
#

this will just end up as n^2, no?

kind hollow
#

its not abt the sum's result

verbal kiln
kind hollow
#

wait im sorry

#

omg

viscid shard
#

hm, I thought you just add the upper bound each time

#

I stand corrected. sorry

kind hollow
#

,tex
$ \sum_{i=0}^{n} in $

boreal girderBOT
#

fijokazż

verbal kiln
#

Ohhhh

#

I see.

kind hollow
#

this. what if we sub u=n+1

mild sky
#

Then n=u-1

viscid shard
#

then the summation has one extra term

#

as far as I understand it?

mild sky
#

No its still the same number

kind hollow
mild sky
#

n×i

kind hollow
#

sorry meant (n+1)i

viscid shard
#

you defined it as in, so it would remain in

mild sky
#

Because only n changes

viscid shard
#

only the upper bound changes

kind hollow
viscid shard
#

n itself still remains the same

mild sky
viscid shard
kind hollow
viscid shard
#

ok do you understand pseudocode?

kind hollow
kind hollow
mild sky
#

I is the variable that is bound to the sum

viscid shard
#

let me write down in a sort of code-like manner what happens

kind hollow
mild sky
viscid shard
#

your original summation is this.

var result = 0
var n = {some value}
for(i = 0, i <= n, i++) {
  result = result + (i * n);
}

what your modification does is simply this.

var result = 0
var n = {some value}
for(i = 0, i <= n + 1, i++) { // one more term is added because of the upper bound + 1
  result = result + (i * n); // nothing changes here
}
#

the loop runs n times in the first summation, n+1 times in the second

#

but both times, notice that (i*n) is getting added to the result

#

that's because the summand didn't change, only the upper bound

#

you can test this with some small values of i and n

kind hollow
#

coding doesnt work for me lol

viscid shard
kind hollow
#

but thanks for trying

viscid shard
#

try i = 5, n = 3

weak cobalt
#

If $f(n) = \sum_{i=0}^n in$ then $f(n+1) = \sum_{i=0}^{n+1} i(n+1)$

boreal girderBOT
viscid shard
weak cobalt
#

It's kind of unclear what exactly you're asking

viscid shard
#

I thought OP said to increase only the upper bound eeveethink

#

but I suppose it's worth a clarification

kind hollow
#

Sorry sorry

#

i meant what Nel wrote

viscid shard
#

ahhh

kind hollow
#

my question was if we just sub in everywhere

weak cobalt
#

Also, $\sum_{i=0}^n in = n \cdot \sum_{i=0}^n i$, n is a constant

boreal girderBOT
kind hollow
#

lol true

#

sorry Mikya didnt mean to waste your time

viscid shard
#

nah it was interesting

#

and I'm learning by helping anyway

kind hollow
#

and thanks for the help everyone

rich pollen
#

Find (p-1)^(p-1) mod p, with p = prime

compact pewterBOT
strange bolt
#

Do you know Fermats little theorem?

rich pollen
#

Ah, yes.

strange bolt
#

So?

rich pollen
#

How may I use it?

#

😄

strange bolt
#

What is the meaning of it?

#

I mean just write it down

rich pollen
#

I think it says that if p is a prime then (p-1)! + 1 is divisible by p

strange bolt
#

No, that’s not it

#

Maybe look it up

#

(Hope this didn’t sound harsh…)

rich pollen
#

Fermat's Little Theorem states that for any prime number (p) and any integer (a), the number (a^{p}-a) is an integer multiple of (p).

strange bolt
#

$a^p - a=a^{p-1}$

boreal girderBOT
#

Icephoenix

strange bolt
#

Wait

#

No

#

Sry

#

But you can formulate it to $a^{p-1}$ is congruent to 1 mod p if the common largest factor of a and p is 1

boreal girderBOT
#

Icephoenix

rich pollen
#

Oh, a^p - a = a(a^(p-1) - 1)

#

Hence a^(p-1) - 1 = 0 (mod p)

#

a^(p-1) = 1 (mod p)

#

Putting a = p - 1

#

we get (p-1)^(p-1) = 1 (mod p)

#

is this corect?

strange bolt
#

Yes

#

Bc p-1 has no factors larger than 1 with p

rich pollen
#

but p - 1 = -1 (mod p)
Hence (p-1)^(p-1) = -1 ^ (p-1) (mod p)
p = odd => p-1 = even
=> (p-1)^(p-1) = -1 ^ even = 1 (mod p)

strange bolt
#

But p is a prime and hence odd for p>2

#

You can do the case two on it’s own

rich pollen
#

oh yes, i need to do that

#

thank you

#

very much
