# Math Help - Need help with 3 Calculus Extra Credit Problems 1. ## Need help with 3 Calculus Extra Credit Problems I'm in intro to calculus and I need help setting this equation up: Newton's Law of cooling: the rate at which the temperature of an object changes is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding medium. A cold drink is removed from a refrigerator on a hot summer day and placed in a room where the temperature is 80°F. Express the temperature of the drink as a function of time (minutes) if the temperature of the drink was 40°F when it left the refrigerator and was 50°F after 20 minutes in the room. Thanks! 2. Newton's Law of cooling: the rate at which the temperature of an object changes is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding medium. $\frac{dT}{dt} = k(T-A)$ A = room temperature (a constant) T = temperature of the cold drink at any time t in minutes k = proportionality constant separate variables and integrate. 3. Ok, with your help and help from another problem, I have this. Is it the next step? dT/dt= -k(T-TM) Where T(t) is the temperature of the drink, and TM is the temperature of the surrounding solution. So: dT/dt= -(T-80) This doesn't seem right, I don't know how to incorporate the other numbers and variables. Grrr calculus 4. $\frac{dT}{dt} = k(T-80)$ separate variables ... $\frac{dT}{T-80} = k \, dt$ integrate ... $\ln|T-80| = kt + C_1$ $|T-80| = e^{kt + C_1}$ $|T-80| = e^{C_1} \cdot e^{kt}$ $T - 80 = C_2 \cdot e^{kt}$ $T = 80 + C_2 \cdot e^{kt}$ The calculus is done, so I'm stopping at this point. The rest is algebra ... you were given two temperatures at two different times. With that info, you can determine the constants $C_2$ and $k$ and finalize the temperature as a function of time. 5. I greatly appreciate your help. I have: Initial value (40 degrees at time 0) T= 80 + Ce^kt 40= 80 + Ce^k*0 40= 80 + C C= -40 How do I find k? Second value (50 degrees at time 20) T= 80 + Ce^kt 50= 80 + Ce^k*20 -30= Ce^20k Again finding k has stumped me. What does k represent and how do i find it? 6. Originally Posted by Sm10389 I greatly appreciate your help. I have: Initial value (40 degrees at time 0) T= 80 + Ce^kt 40= 80 + Ce^k*0 40= 80 + C C= -40 good. How do I find k? Second value (50 degrees at time 20) how about substituting in -40 for C ? then find k with the second value. T= 80 + Ce^kt do it. 7. you my friend are a genius. so.... Initial value (40 degrees at time 0) T= 80 + Ce^kt 40= 80 + Ce^k*0 40= 80 + C C= -40 Second value (50 degrees at time 20) T= 80 + Ce^kt 50= 80 + Ce^k*20 -30= -40e^20k 3/4= e^20k ln3/4=20k k= ln(3/4)/80 so would this be my final answer? T= 80 + -40e^ln((3/4)/20)t 8. ## skeeter how does that look 9. Originally Posted by Sm10389 how does that look check it out yourself ... graph the result in your graphing utility and see if the given info matches up. 10. i just did, and it is not correct. where did i goof up? 11. so would this be my final answer? T= 80 + -40e^ln((3/4)/20)t looks like you have ... $k = \ln\left(\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{20}\right)$ ... which it ain't. should be ... $k = \frac{\ln\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)}{20}$ 12. Thank you, I had that too, I just did not use the parentheses correctly in my calculator. The next step of the problem is to calculate it if the drink were warmer then room temperature (>80). I know how to set it up like the last one, but we would only be given one point (0, 85) for example. How would I calculate k here? 13. $k$ will remain the same because the rate of heat transfer will remain the same ... however, you'll have to recalculate $C_2$. 14. ## QUESTION #2 More from the Introduction to Differential Equations- Investment plan- an investor makes regular deposits totaling D dollars each year into an account that earns interest at the annual rate r compounded continuously. A: Explain why the account grows at the rate ( dV/dt = rV + D ) where V(t) is the value of the account 2 years after the initial deposit. Solve this differential equation to express V(t) in terms of r and D. I came up with this: V(t)= (C/r)*e^rt - (D/r) I am sure it is correct. This is the next part: Amanda wants to retire in 20 years. To build up a retirement fund, she makes regular annual deposits of \$8,000. If the prevailing interest rate stays constant at 4% compounded continuously, how much will she have in her account at the end of the 20 year period? I know how to do everything but: Find C Figure out how compounding continuously would affect the equation.

# The Proof of Infinitude of Pythagorean Triples $(x,x+1,z)$ Proof that there exists infinity positive integers triple $x^2+y^2=z^2$ that $x,y$ are consecutive integers, then exhibit five of them. This is a question in my number theory textbook, the given hint is that "If $x,x+1,z$ is a Pythagorean triple, then so does the triple $3x+2z+1,3x+2z+2, 4x+3z+2$" I wondered how someone come up with this idea. My solution is letting $x=2st, y=s^2-t^2, z=s^2+t^2$ by $s>t, \gcd(s,t)=1$.then consider two cases: $y=x+1$ and $y=x-1$ Case 1: $y=x+1$ Gives me $(s-t)^2-2t^2=1$ then I found this is the form of Pell's equation, I then found \begin{align}s&=5,29,169,985,5741\\t&=2,12,20,408,2378\end{align}then yields five triples $$(20,21,29),(696,697,985),(23660,23661,33461),(803760,803761,1136689),(27304196,27304197,38613965)$$ Case 2:$y=x-1$ Using the same method, I come up with Pell's equation $(s+t)^2-2s^2=1$, after solve that I also get five triples: $$(4,3,5),(120,119,169),(4060,4059,5741),(137904,137903,195025),(4684660,4684659,6625109)$$ I have wondered why the gaps between my solution are quite big, with my curiosity, I start using question's hint and exhibit ten of the triples:$$(3,4,5),(20,21,29),(119,120,169),(696,697,985),(4059,4060,5741),(23660,23661,33461),(137903,137904,195025),(803760,803761,1136689),(4684659,4684660,6625109),(27304196,27304197,38613965)$$ These are actually the same as using solutions alternatively from both cases. But I don't know is this true after these ten triples Basically the problem was solved, but I would glad to see if someone provide me a procedure to come up with the statement "If $x,x+1,z$ is a Pythagorean triple, then so does the triple $3x+2z+1,3x+2z+2, 4x+3z+2$", and prove that there are no missing triplet between it. --After edit-- Thanks to @Dr Peter McGowan !, by the matrix $$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & 2\\ 2 & 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x\\x+1\\z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 3x+2z+2\\3x+2z+1\\4x+3z+2 \end{bmatrix}$$ gives me the hinted statement. • Hint : If $(a/b)$ is a solution of the Pell-equation $a^2-2b^2=-1$ , then the next solution is $(3a+4b/2a+3b)$ – Peter Apr 21 '18 at 7:43 • Wow, how to know that? – kelvin hong 方 Apr 21 '18 at 7:54 • artofproblemsolving.com/community/c3046h1049346__2 – individ Apr 21 '18 at 8:50 • @individ thanks, but a relevant proof is better. – kelvin hong 方 Apr 21 '18 at 10:33 • Go here. It will take you to a question of mine where I prove the infinitude of Pythagorean Triples... but not using Pell equations, however. Nonetheless, this post might serve more use if $z=x+1$ as opposed to $y$, since I show that $$(2v^2+2v)^2+(2v+1)^2=(2v^2+2v+1)^2\;\forall v.$$ Still, it might increase your understanding on Pythagorean Triples :) – Mr Pie Jun 20 '18 at 12:20 ## 3 Answers You are on the right track. The simplest solution is to recall that all irreducible Pythagorean triples for a rooted ternary tree beginning with $(3, 4, 5)$ triangle. B Berggren discovered that all others can be derived from this most primitive triple. F J M Barning set these out as three matrices that when pre-multiplied by a "vector" of a Pythagorean triple produces another. For the case of consecutive legs we have, starting with $(x_1, y_1, z_1)$, we may calculate the next triple as follows: \begin {align} x_2&=x_1+2y_1+2z_1 \\ y_2&=2x_1+y_1+2z_1 \\ z_2&=2x_1+2y_1+3z_1 \end {align} The hint you were given is a variation on the above more general formula specific for consecutive leg lengths. It is an easy proof by induction to show that the formulas are correct. The first few are: $(3, 4, 5); (20, 21, 29); (119, 120, 169); (696, 697, 985); (4059, 4060, 5741); (23660, 23661, 33461)$; etc. Obviously, this can be continued indefinitely. The sequence rises geometrically. A simple explicit formula is available for these solutions that are (as you have already guessed) alternating solutions to Pell's equation. • Wow, although I have seen that matrix before but don't realize it can be so useful! I have found the related matrix and actually come out with the desired result.Thanks a lot!!!! – kelvin hong 方 Apr 21 '18 at 10:43 $x,x+1,z$ is a Pythagorean triple iff $(2x+1)^2+1=2z^2$. Let $u=2x+1$. Then $u^2-2z^2=-1$, a negative Pell equation whose solution lies in considering the units of $\mathbb Z[\sqrt 2]$ of norm $-1$. It is clear that $\omega=1+\sqrt 2$ is a fundamental unit with norm $-1$. Therefore, all the other solutions of $u^2-2z^2=-1$ come from odd powers of $\omega$. Thus, if $(u_k,z_k)$ is a solution of $u^2-2z^2=-1$, then the next one is given by \begin{align} u_{k+1}+z_{k+1}\sqrt 2&=(u_k+z_k\sqrt 2)\omega^2 \\ &=(u_k+z_k\sqrt 2)(3+2\sqrt 2) \\ &=(3u_k+4z_k)+(2u_k+3z_k)\sqrt 2 \end{align} So, $u_{k+1}= 3u_k+4z_k$ and $z_{k+1}=2u_k+3z_k$. Now let $u_{k+1}=2x_{k+1}+1$. Then $$x_{k+1}=\frac{u_{k+1}-1}{2}=\frac{(3u_k+4z_k)-1}{2}=\frac{3(2x_k+1)+4z_k-1}{2}=3x_k+2z_k+1$$ and $$z_{k+1}=4x_k+3z_k+2$$ as claimed. • Wow, thanks for your solution! – kelvin hong 方 Apr 28 '18 at 2:54 Pythagorean triples where $$|A-B|=1$$ are scarce and get more rare with altitude but they can continue to be found, indefinitely, given arbitrary precision. (There are only $$22$$ of them with $$A,B,C<10.2\text{ quadrillion.})$$ Proof that there are in infinite number of them is shown by the following functions which accept and yield natural numbers without end. Another way of putting it is that we are eliminating (subtracting) a countably infinite set of triples from another countably infinite set of triples and even when you subtract a supposedly larger $$\aleph_0$$ set from a smaller $$\aleph_0$$ set (odd numbers minus natural numbers) the results are still infinite because they can be mapped. Here we have all triples minus extraneous triples. To find them in a timely manner, we can use the following function to find the right combination of $$(m,n)$$ to use in Euclid's formula. The $$\pm$$ is used because the triples alternate: $$A>B$$ and $$A. $$\text{With infinite integers input }(n=\sqrt{2*m^2\pm1}-m)\text{ will always output an integer for some }m.$$ For all $$M\in\mathbb{N}$$, whenever this function yields an integer $$>0$$, we have the $$(m,n)$$ we need for a triple. The following $$19$$ were generated (in $$4$$ seconds) in a loop of $$m=1\text{ to }16,000,000$$ and $$f(m,n)$$ shows the variable values needed to generate each triple using Euclid's formula. The $$g(n,k)$$ shows the values (generated in $$1$$ second) for an alternate set of functions in a loop of $$m=1\text{ to }5,000,000$$. $$A=m^2-n^2\qquad B=2mn\qquad C=M^2+n^2$$ $$f(2,1)=g(1,1)=(3,4,5)$$ $$f(5,2)=g(2,2)=(21,20,29)$$ $$f(12,5)=g(4,5)=(119,120,169)$$ $$f(29,12)=g(9,12)=(697,696,985)$$ $$f(70,29)=g(21,29)=(4059,4060,5741)$$ $$f(169,70)=g(50,70)=(23661,23660,33461)$$ $$f(408,169)=g(120,169)=(137903,137904,195025)$$ $$f(985,408)=g(289,408)=(803761,803760,1136689)$$ $$f(2378,985)=g(697,985)=(4684659,4684660,6625109)$$ $$f(5741,2378)=g(1682,2378)=(27304197,27304196,38613965)$$ $$f(13860,5741)=g(4060,5741)=(159140519,159140520,225058681)$$ $$f(33461,13860)=g(9801,13860)=(927538921,927538920,1311738121)$$ $$f(80782,33461)=g(23661,33461)=(5406093003,5406093004,7645370045)$$ $$f(195025,80782)=g(57122,80782)=(31509019101,31509019100,44560482149)$$ $$f(470832,195025)=g(137904,195025)=(183648021599,183648021600,259717522849)$$ $$f(1136689,470832)=g(332929,470832)=(1070379110497,1070379110496,1513744654945)$$ $$f(2744210,1136689)=g(803761,1136689)=(6238626641379,6238626641380,8822750406821)$$ $$f(6625109,2744210)=g(1940450,2744210)=(36361380737781,36361380737780,51422757785981)$$ $$f(15994428,6625109)=g(4684660,6625109)=(211929657785303,211929657785304,299713796309065)$$ The alternate formula mentioned above is slightly faster since it deals only with the subset of triples where $$GCD(A,B,C)=(2m-1)^2,m\in\mathbb{N}$$. We have the needed $$(n,k)$$ values whenever the following yields a positive integer. $$k=\sqrt{\frac{(2n-1)^2\pm1}{2}}$$ Having found a needed $$(n,k)$$ the following will generate a needed triple. $$A=(2n-1)^2+2(2n-1)k\qquad B=2(2n-1)k+2k^2\qquad C=(2n-1)^2+2(2n-1)k+2k^2$$

Cubic equations and the nature of their roots. By the fundamental theorem of algebra, cubic equation always has 3 3 3 roots, some of which might be equal. Finding the center of mass doesn't require solving the equation—it is merely −1/3 the coefficient of the quadratic term. The van der Waals (from his thesis of 1873) equation is a cubic in the molar volume. And we generally deal with x's, in this. There are several ways to solve cubic equation. Possible Outcomes When Solving a Cubic Equation If you consider all the cases, there are three possible outcomes when solving a cubic equation: 1. Naturally, the first solutions were geometric, for ancient Egyptians and Greeks knew nothing of algebra. Furthermore, there are examples of cubic equations with real coefficients and three distinct real solutions for which the cubic formula requires one to calculate a root of a complex number. The Polynomial equations don’t contain a negative power of its variables. The polynomial x4+ax3+bx2+ cx+dhas roots. solving a cubic equation. The amount of profit (in millions) made by Scandal Math, a company that writes math problems based on tabloid articles, can be found by the equation P(n) = −n2 + 10n, where n is the number of textbooks sold (also in millions). at first, has a lower rate of growth than the linear equation f(x) =50x; at first, has a slower rate of growth than a cubic function like f(x) = x 3, but eventually the growth rate of an exponential function f(x) = 2 x, increases more and more -- until the exponential growth function has the greatest value and rate of growth!. Use a ruler to measure each side in inches. Fitting a cubic to data Let us now try to fit a cubic polynomial to some data.

1. Oct 23, 2014 ### bamajon1974 I want to de-nest the following radical: (1) $$\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{2}}$$ Into the general simplified form: (2) $$a+b\sqrt{2}$$ Equating (1) with (2), (3) $$\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{2}} = a+b\sqrt{2}$$ and squaring both sides: (4) $$3+2\sqrt{2} = a^2 + 2b^2 + 2ab\sqrt{2}$$ generates a system of two equations with two unknowns, a and b, after equating the rational and irrational parts: (5) $$3 = a^2 + 2b^2$$ (6) $$2\sqrt{2} = 2ab\sqrt{2}$$ Simplifying (6) and solving for b: (7) $$b=\frac{1}{a}$$ Substituting (7) into (5) yields: (8) $$3 = a^2 + 2\frac{1}{a^2}$$ Clearing the denominator and moving non-zero terms to one side generates a quartic equation: (9) $$0 = a^4 - 3a^2 +2$$ (10) $$x=a^2, x^2 = (a^2)^2 = a^4, x = \pm \sqrt{a}$$ (11) $$0 = x^2 - 3x + 2$$ The square root of the discriminant is an integer, 1, which presumably makes simplification of the nested radical possible. Finding the roots, x, of (11) gives (12)$$x=1, x =\sqrt{2}$$ Substituting the roots in (12) into (10) gives a: (13) $$a = \pm \sqrt{2} , a = \pm 1$$ Then b is found from (7): (14) $$b = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} , b = \pm 1$$ Using the positive values of a and b, the de-nested radical is: (15) $$\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{2}} = 1+\sqrt{2}$$ My questions are: (1) Is this approach for simplifying nested radical correct? (2) The positive values of a and b produce the correct simplified form in (15) while the negative values of a and b do not. Is there a way to figure out which roots from (9) are correct and which to reject other than calculating the numerical value of (15) with both positive and negative a's and b's to see which is equal to the nested form? (3) I have also seen the general simplified de-nested form as: (16) $$\sqrt{a} + \sqrt{b}$$ Going through an analogous process as above, it generates the correct simplified form in (15) as well. Is one form (2) or (15) better than the other? Or is it just a personal preference which one to use? Thanks! 2. Oct 23, 2014 ### symbolipoint The square root radical symbol means, the expression under the radical raised to the one-half power. $$\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{2}}$$ $$(3+2\sqrt{2})^(1/2)$$ $$(3+2(2)^(1/2))^(1/2)$$ ( I KNOW what I'm trying to do but still cannot make it appear correctly) 3. Oct 23, 2014 ### SteamKing Staff Emeritus You mean like this? Just enclose your expression for the exponent in a pair of curly braces {}. 4. Oct 24, 2014 ### Mentallic I'll give you a chance to look at these again. You've ended up with the correct answer however because you made two errors that both cancelled each other out, so that was a lucky one on your part ;) Yes. You'll often have situations arise whereby you need to find, say, the length of an object, but the equations you're dealing with are quadratics and will thus give you two solutions, a positive and a negative one. It suffices to toss away the negative value because you're solving a problem that only makes sense with a positive answer. It's similar in this case. You're trying to simplify a square root. You know that square roots don't give negative results so you're allowed to simply toss out the result $-1-\sqrt{2}$ because that is clearly negative and can't be the answer. You don't need to look at the numerical values of each result with a calculator if you simply use a bit of intuition. I prefer yours merely because the $\sqrt{2}$ result cancels and you end up with a nice result in (7). Neither are incorrect, but also both are assumptions. You assumed that the answer is of the form $a+b\sqrt{2}$ and the "general" simplified de-nested form $\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}$ assumes that the result is the sum of two square roots. What if it were $\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}$ instead? Or something even more complicated? So yes, I prefer your assumption over the other because yours is easier to work with. 5. Oct 24, 2014 ### bamajon1974 I see my error: 12) $$x=1, x=\sqrt{2}$$ Should be $$x=1, x=2$$ My bad. Although in my defense that was an error I didn't catch after typing so much unfamiliar latex code into these lines. I had neglected to mention that in the if you try to de-nest $$\sqrt{3+2\sqrt{2}}$$ by assuming it equals the other simplified form (16) $$\sqrt{a} + \sqrt{b}$$ Equating the nested radical with the assumed simplified form and squaring both sides: $$3 + 2\sqrt{2} = a + b + 2\sqrt{ab}$$ Equating rational and irrational parts generates 2 equations with 2 unknowns: $$3 = a + b$$ $$2\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{ab}$$ Solving for b in the second equation, substituting into the first and moving all non-zero terms to one side of the equation generates a quadratic: $$0=a^2+3a+2$$ of which the roots, a, are $$a= 1, a=2$$ So a and b are $$a=1, b=2$$ or $$a=2, b=1$$ So the simplified form is $$1+\sqrt{2}$$ identical to above, but I didn't have any negative roots to discard. So in this particular case, the second form was a little easier. I see why rejecting the negative roots is justified as well.

# Proof critique: Induction #### sweatingbear ##### Member We wish to show that $3^n > n^3 \, , \ \forall n \geqslant 4$. Base case $n = 4$ yields $3^4 = 81 > 4^3 = 64$ Assume the inequality holds for $n = p$ i.e. $3^p > p^3$ for $p \geqslant 4$. Then $3^{p+1} > 3p^3$ $p \geqslant 4$ implies $3p^3 \geq 192$, as well as $(p+1)^3 \geqslant 125$. Thus $3p^3 > (p+1)^3$ for $p \geqslant 4$ and we have $3^{p+1} > 3p^3 > (p+1)^3$ which concludes the proof. Feedback, forum? #### ZaidAlyafey ##### Well-known member MHB Math Helper $p \geqslant 4$ implies $3p^3 \geq 192$, as well as $(p+1)^3 \geqslant 125$. Thus $3p^3 > (p+1)^3$ for $p \geqslant 4$ and we have One question : if x>5 and y>2 then x>y ? #### sweatingbear ##### Member One question : if x>5 and y>2 then x>y ? I was actually a bit uncertain about that. How else would one go about? #### ZaidAlyafey ##### Well-known member MHB Math Helper We need to prove that $$\displaystyle 3^{p+1}> (p+1)^3$$ assuming that $$\displaystyle 3^p>p^3\,\,\,\, \forall p\geq 4$$ $$\displaystyle \tag{1} 3^{p+1}>3p^3\geq p^3+p^3$$ Lemma : $$\displaystyle p^3-3p^2-3p-1 \geq 0$$ Take the derivative $$\displaystyle 3p^2-6p-3 =3(p^2-2p-1)=3(p^2-2p+1-2)=3(p-1)^2-6$$ The function is positive for $p=4$ and increases for $$\displaystyle p\geq 4$$ so the lemma is satisfied . Hence we have $$\displaystyle p^3 \geq 3p^2+3p+1 \,\,\,\,\forall p\geq 4$$ Using this in (1) we get $$\displaystyle 3^{p+1}>p^3+3p^2+3p+1=(p+1)^3 \,\,\,\square$$ #### Deveno ##### Well-known member MHB Math Scholar Here is how I would do this proof: (inductive step only). Suppose that $$\displaystyle 3^k > k^3, k > 3$$. Then: $$\displaystyle 3^{k+1} = 3(3^k) > 3k^3$$. If we can show that: $$\displaystyle 3k^3 > (k+1)^3$$, we are done. Equivalently, we must show that: $$\displaystyle 3k^3 > k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1$$, so that: $$\displaystyle 2k^3 - 3k^2 - 3k - 1 > 0$$. Note that $$\displaystyle 2k^3 - 3k^2 - 3k - 1 > 2k^3 - 3k^2 - 5k + 3$$ if $$\displaystyle 2k - 4 > 0$$, that is if $$\displaystyle k > 2$$, which is true. But $$\displaystyle 2k^2 - 3k^2 - 5k + 3 = (2k - 1)(k^2 - k - 3)$$. Now $$\displaystyle 2k - 1 > 0$$ for any $$\displaystyle k > 0$$, so we are down to showing $$\displaystyle k^2 - k - 3 > 0$$ whenever $$\displaystyle k > 3$$. Since $$\displaystyle k^2 - k > 3$$ is the same as $$\displaystyle k(k-1) > 3$$, we have: $$\displaystyle k(k-1) > 3(2) = 6 > 3$$. Thus we conclude that $$\displaystyle k^2 - k - 3 > 0$$ and so: $$\displaystyle 3^{k+1} = 3(3^k) > 3k^3 > (k+1)^3$$. With all due respect to Zaid, I wanted to give a purely algebraic proof. #### Evgeny.Makarov ##### Well-known member MHB Math Scholar Equivalently, we must show that: $$\displaystyle 3k^3 > k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1$$ Starting from this point, we could continue as follows. We need to show that $3k^2+3k+1<2k^3$. $3k^2+3k+1<3k^2+3k^2+k^2=7k^2$ since $k>1$. Now, $7k^2<2k^3\iff 7<2k$, and the last inequality is true since $k\ge4$. #### Deveno ##### Well-known member MHB Math Scholar Indeed, we just need to find something that is less than $$\displaystyle 2k^3$$ and larger than $$\displaystyle 3k^2 + 3k + 1$$ that "factors nice" (so we can apply what we know specifically about $$\displaystyle k$$). Very nice solution!

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2114575/partitions-of-n-that-generate-all-numbers-smaller-than-n

# Partitions of n that generate all numbers smaller than n Consider a partition $$n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_k$$ such that each number $1,\cdots, n$ can be obtained by adding some of the numbers $n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_k$. For example, $$9=4+3+1+1,$$ and every number $1,2,\cdots,9$ be ca written as a sum of some of the numbers $4,3,1,1$. This other partition $$9=6+1+1+1$$ fails the desired property, as $4$ (and $5$) cannot be given by any sum of $6,1,1,1$. Question: Can we charaterize which partitions of an arbitrary $n$ have this property? We clearly need at least one $1$ among $n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_k$, and intuitively we need many small numbers $n_i$. But I can't see much beyond this. Any idea or reference will be appreciated. • If at least half of the number are 1's, you can do it. But the condition is certainly not necessary. – MathChat Jan 26 '17 at 6:03 • I once studied this problem and found a constructive partition method. Here is the brief. We are given a positive integer $n$. STEP ONE: if $n$ is an even number, partition it into $A=\frac{n}{2}$ and $B=\frac{n}{2}$; otherwise, partition it into $A=\frac{n+1}{2}$ and $B=\frac{n-1}{2}$. STEP TWO: re-partition $B$ into $A_1$ and $B_1$. STEP THREE: re-partition $B_1$......Until we get $1$. I didn't prove this method always works but I believe it is valid. – apprenant Jan 26 '17 at 6:04 • EXAMPLE: $13 \rightarrow (7,6) \rightarrow (7,3,3) \rightarrow (7,3,2,1)$. May it be helpful. – apprenant Jan 26 '17 at 6:06 • @apprenant. This method looks interesting. BTW, is this problem well known? – ALEXIS Jan 26 '17 at 6:14 • You can work up the other way, too, by powers of two, e.g $13 \to 1,2,4,6$ – Joffan Jan 26 '17 at 6:17 Let $\lambda$ be a partition of $n$. The required condition is that $\lambda$ contain partitions $\lambda_i$ of each $1 \le i < n$. Clearly if $\lambda$ contains a partition of $j$ then it also contains a partition of $(n - j)$, being the multiset difference $\lambda - \lambda_j$. Therefore the first thing to notice is that $\lambda$ cannot contain any element $a > \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$, for if it did then $\{a\}$ cannot be part of a partition of $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$ and $\lambda - \{a\}$ is a partition of $(n - a) < (n - \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil) < \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$ cannot contain a partition of $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$. Now, suppose that the largest element of $\lambda$ is $m$. It is certainly sufficient that $\lambda - \{m\}$ should satisfy the corresponding condition of providing partitions for each $1 \le i < (n - m)$. Proof: $\lambda - \{m\}$ is a partition of $(n - m)$ and provides partitions for each smaller natural number, so it remains to construct partitions $\lambda_i$ for $(n - m) < i < n$. We can do this by taking partitions from $\lambda - \{m\}$ for $(n - 2m) < j < n - m$ and then adding $\{m\}$ to each one. This can only fail if $j < 0$, which can only happen if $(n - 2m) < -1$. Since $m \le \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$ we have $n - 2m \ge n - 2\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$, which is $0$ if $n$ is even and $-1$ if $n$ is odd, so all cases are covered. The interesting question is whether it's necessary that $\lambda - \{m\}$ should satisfy the same condition. Clearly it must contain partitions of $1 \le i < m$, since $\{m\}$ doesn't participate in them. And by the simple principle of taking complements in $\lambda$ it's clear that for each $m \le i < n$ the remnant $\lambda - \{m\}$ must either contain partitions of $(i - m)$ and $n - i$; or $i$ and $n - m - i$. Is that sufficient? My intuition is that it's necessary, and testing on small examples (up to $n = 30$) supports that, but I haven't proved it. In the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences it's A126796 and a comment claims the characterisation A partition is complete iff each part is no more than 1 more than the sum of all smaller parts. (This includes the smallest part, which thus must be 1.) - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 22 2007 This is just a quick and dirty list of the first examples, for $n$ up to $10$.

The absolute value function is commonly thought of as providing the distance the number is from zero on a number line. The absolute value function is commonly thought of as providing the distance the number is from zero on a number line. Describe all numbers$\,x\,$that are at a distance of 4 from the number 8. Write an equation for the function graphed in (Figure). To understand the Absolute value of a Derivative and Integral or magnitude of a complex number We must first understand what is the meaning of absolute value. The latter is a special form of a cell address that locks a reference to a given cell. 2 Peter Wriggers, Panagiotis Panatiotopoulos, eds.. Step 2: Rewrite the absolute function as piecewise function on different intervals. Absolute Value Functions 1 - Cool Math has free online cool math lessons, cool math games and fun math activities. The product in A of an element x and its conjugate x* is written N(x) = x x* and called the norm of x. Describe all numbers$\,x\,$that are at a distance of$\,\frac{1}{2}\,$from the number −4. Recall that in its basic form$\,f\left(x\right)=|x|,\,$the absolute value function is one of our toolkit functions. Algebraically, for whatever the input value is, the output is the value without regard to sign. The graph of an absolute value function will intersect the vertical axis when the input is zero. Until the 1920s, the so-called spiral nebulae were believed to be clouds of dust and gas in our own galaxy, some tens of thousands of light years away. Knowing how to solve problems involving absolute value functions is useful. [/latex], Applied problems, such as ranges of possible values, can also be solved using the absolute value function. The graph may or may not intersect the horizontal axis, depending on how the graph has been shifted and reflected. The most significant feature of the absolute value graph is the corner point at which the graph changes direction. To solve an equation such as$\,8=|2x-6|,\,$we notice that the absolute value will be equal to 8 if the quantity inside the absolute value is 8 or -8. How to graph an absolute value function on a coordinate plane: 5 examples and their solutions. R Note that these equations are algebraically equivalent—the stretch for an absolute value function can be written interchangeably as a vertical or horizontal stretch or compression. The absolute value of a number is a decimal number, whole or decimal, without its sign.

[/latex], $x=-1\,$or$\,\,x=2$, Should we always expect two answers when solving$\,|A|=B? The most significant feature of the absolute value graphAbsolute Value Functions:Graphing is the corner point where the graph changes direction. If possible, find all values of [latex]a$ such that there are no $x\text{-}$intercepts for $f\left(x\right)=2|x+1|+a. Yes. Free absolute value equation calculator - solve absolute value equations with all the steps. Cities A and B are on the same east-west line. (a) The absolute value function does not intersect the horizontal axis. Knowing this, we can use absolute value functions to … This point is shown at the origin in (Figure). It is differentiable everywhere except for x = 0. Algebraically, for whatever the input value is, the output is the value without regard to sign. As such, it is a positive value, and will not be negative, though an absolute value is allowed be 0 itself. The absolute value parent function, written as f (x) = | x |, is defined as . In general the norm of a composition algebra may be a quadratic form that is not definite and has null vectors. Assume that city A is located at the origin. An absolute value equation is an equation in which the unknown variable appears in absolute value bars. f (x) = {x if x > 0 0 if x = 0 − x if x < 0. A decimal number. If we are unable to determine the stretch based on the width of the graph, we can solve for the stretch factor by putting in a known pair of values for[latex]\,x\,$and$\,f\left(x\right).$. We can find that 5% of 680 ohms is 34 ohms.

Students who score within 18 points of the number 82 will pass a particular test. An absolute value function is a function that contains an algebraic expression within absolute value symbols. Note. This leads to two different equations we can solve independently. In an absolute value equation, an unknown variable is the input of an absolute value function. Step 1: Find zeroes of the given absolute value function.

# Are there primes of every possible number of digits? That is, is it the case that for every natural number $n$, there is a prime number of $n$ digits? Or, is there some $n$ such that no primes of $n$-digits exist? I am wondering this because of this Project Euler problem: https://projecteuler.net/problem=37. I find it very surprising that there are only a finite number of truncatable primes (and even more surprising that there are only 11)! However, I was thinking that result would make total sense if there is an $n$ such that there are no $n$-digit primes, since any $k$-digit truncatable prime implies the existence of at least one $n$-digit prime for every $n\leq k$. If not, does anyone have insight into an intuitive reason why there are finitely many trunctable primes (and such a small number at that)? Thanks! • Anyway, yes: for all $n$ there are a lot of primes having $n$ digits. Sep 10, 2016 at 22:34 • Bertrand's postulate (an ill-chosen name) says there is always a prime strictly between $n$ and $2n$ for $n\gt 1$. Sep 10, 2016 at 23:03 • Think about the reverse. If you have an $n$-digit prime, how many 'chances' do you have to extend it to an $(n+1)$-digit prime? The odds being able to do so quickly turn against you. – user14972 Sep 11, 2016 at 0:18 • Just a side-comment - ..and even more surprising that there are only 11 ...Maybe I am wrong regrading your meaning , but I believe that there are 15 ( and not 11 ) both-sides truncatable primes .. Wiki entry on truncatable prime. Sep 11, 2016 at 3:05 • Via the Wikipedia article I found M. El Bachraoui's 2006 ["Primes in the Interval [2n, 3n]"](m-hikari.com/ijcms-password/ijcms-password13-16-2006/…) which relies on elementary methods and three results from an undergraduate textbook. Sep 12, 2016 at 1:52 ## 2 Answers Yes, there is always such a prime. Bertrand's postulate states that for any $k>3$, there is a prime between $k$ and $2k-2$. This specifically means that there is a prime between $10^n$ and $10\cdot 10^n$. To commemorate $50$ upvotes, here are some additional details: Bertrand's postulate has been proven, so what I've written here is not just conjecture. Also, the result can be strengthened in the following sense (by the prime number theorem): For any $\epsilon > 0$, there is a $K$ such that for any $k > K$, there is a prime between $k$ and $(1+\epsilon)k$. For instance, for $\epsilon = 1/5$, we have $K = 24$ and for $\epsilon = \frac{1}{16597}$ the value of $K$ is $2010759$ (numbers gotten from Wikipedia). • With the side note that Bertrand's postulate is a (proved) theorem. Sep 11, 2016 at 22:29 • Just another note: those interested in this sort of thing should look for papers by Pierre Dusart - he has proven many of the best approximations of this form. Sep 14, 2016 at 3:09 While the answer using Bertrand's postulate is correct, it may be misleading. Since it only guarantees one prime between $N$ and $2N$, you might expect only three or four primes with a particular number of digits. This is very far from the truth. The primes do become scarcer among larger numbers, but only very gradually. An important result dignified with the name of the Prime Number Theorem'' says (roughly) that the probability of a random number of around the size of $N$ being prime is approximately $1/\ln(N)$. To take a concrete example, for $N = 10^{22}$, $1/\ln(N)$ is about $0.02$, so one would expect only about $2\%$ of $22$-digit numbers to be prime. In some sense, $2\%$ is small, but since there are $9\cdot 10^{21}$ numbers with $22$ digits, that means about $1.8\cdot 10^{20}$ of them are prime; not just three or four! (In fact, there are exactly $180,340,017,203,297,174,362$ primes with $22$ digits.) In short, the number of $n$-digit numbers increases with $n$ much faster than the density of primes decreases, so the number of $n$-digit primes increases rapidly as $n$ increases. • The prime number theorem will give you a bound on the number of primes between $10^n$ and $10^{n+1}$. But is the bound tight enough to prove that the number of such primes is a strictly growing function of $n$? Sep 11, 2016 at 8:33 • @kasperd There are some known (explicit) estimates on the error term in the prime number theorem, I can imagine they are strong enough to show this, albeit possibly only for large $n$. Sep 11, 2016 at 8:50 • The prime number theorem on its own would allow for very large gaps between primes, but not so large that there are no primes between $10^n$ and $10^{n+1}$ when n is large enough. On the other hand, it is a limit, so it says nothing about small primes. Sep 11, 2016 at 18:49 • The bounds from Wikipedia $\frac{x}{\log x + 2} < \pi(x) < \frac{x}{\log x - 4}$ for $x> 55$ can be used to show that there is always a prime with $n$ digits for $n\ge 3$.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2863671/how-many-poker-hands-have-two-pairs

# How many poker hands have two pairs? I'm trying to calculate how many poker hands called Two Pair, there are. Such a hand consists of one pair of one rank, another pair of another rank and one card of a third rank. A poker hand consists of 5 cards. I have two methods that I thought would work equally well. Turns out only one of them yields the correct answer. I was wondering if anyone here knows why the second solution gives the wrong answer. Solution 1 (Correct): We choose 2 ranks out of 13, which can be done in $\binom{13}{2}$ ways. For the first rank we choose 2 suits out of 4, which can be done in $\binom{4}{2}$ ways. For the second rank we choose 2 suits out of 4, which can be done in $\binom{4}{2}$ ways. The last card can be chosen in $44$ different ways. So the total number of hands is $\binom{13}{2}\cdot \binom{4}{2}\cdot \binom{4}{2}\cdot 44=123,552$ Solution 2 (Incorrect): We choose 3 ranks out of 13, which can be done in $\binom{13}{3}$ ways. For the first rank we choose 2 suits out of 4, which can be done in $\binom{4}{2}$ ways. For the second rank we choose 2 suits out of 4, which can be done in $\binom{4}{2}$ ways. For the third rank we choose 1 suit out of 4, which can be done in $4$ ways. So the total number of hands is $\binom{13}{3}\cdot \binom{4}{2}\cdot \binom{4}{2}\cdot 4=41,184$ This is just a third of the correct number of hands. Why the second solution is wrong unfortunately seems to elude me...... • In attempt 2, you need to pick one of your three ranks for the singleton, so have undercounted by a factor of 3. – Angina Seng Jul 26 '18 at 18:23 • @LordSharktheUnknown: that looks like an answer to me.

Didn't I pick out three ranks in the very first step, thus not having to pick one of the three for the singleton? – Stargazer Jul 26 '18 at 19:02 • Never mind, I understand it now that I thought some more about it. – Stargazer Jul 26 '18 at 19:12 After you've chosen which three ranks are in the hand, you need to choose either (a) which two of the three ranks to make the pairs, or (b) which one of the ranks to make the singleton. The number of ways to do these are ${3 \choose 2}$ and ${3 \choose 1}$, respectively, and of course each equals $3$. Assume your choose three ranks R1, R2, R3. In the first solution: You choose (R1, R2) first $\binom{13}{2}$ then assign the suits. Lastly, you choose R3 from the rest (remaining 44). The reason why $\binom{13}{2}$ is chosen to avoid double count since order does not matter for this two ranks: as (R1,R1,R2,R2,R3) is the same as (R2,R2,R1,R1,R3). (writing R1 R1 meaning two suits rank 1, pardon my laziness). This is correct. In the second solution: You choose (R1,R2,R3) first then assign the suits. But using $\binom{13}{3}$ means the order of the three ranks do not matter. In other words, you are treating the three hands (R1,R1,R2,R2,R3), (R3,R3,R2,R2,R1), (R1,R1,R3,R3,R2) as one hand only. Thus you undercount 3 times. Your first method is to count ways to choose two from thirteen ranks for the pairs, two from four suits for each of those, and one from fourty-four cards to be the loner (or one from eleven ranks and one from four suits).   That is okay. $$\binom{13}2\binom 42^2\binom{44}1 \\\binom{13}2\binom 42^2\binom {11}1\binom 41$$ Your second method is to count ways to choose three from thirteen ranks, two from four suits for the pairs, one from four suits for the singleton, and—wait—which two from those three selected ranks are to be the pairs?   Ah, that is better.$$\binom {13}3\binom 42^2\binom 41\binom 32$$ ...and of course $\binom{13}{3}\binom 32=\frac{13!}{3!10!}\frac{3!}{2!1!}=\frac{13!}{2!11!}\frac{11!}{10!1!}=\binom {13}2\binom{11}1$

# What is the general solution to the equation $\sin x + \sqrt{3}\cos x = \sqrt2$ I need to find the general solution to the equation $$\sin(x) + \sqrt3\cos(x)=\sqrt2$$ So I went ahead and divided by $$2$$, thus getting the form $$\cos(x-\frac{\pi}{6})=\cos(\frac{\pi}{4})$$ Thus the general solution to this would be $$x = 2n\pi \pm\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{6}$$ Which simplifies out to be, $$x = 2n\pi +\frac{5\pi}{12}$$ $$x = 2n\pi -\frac{\pi}{12}$$ But the answer doesn't have the 2nd solution as a solution to the given equation. Did I go wrong somewhere? • Your answer seems to be the correct one. For example $x=-\frac {\pi} {12}$ does satisfy the given equation. Mar 5 '20 at 6:39 • You solution is correct. May be they skip the second one. Mar 5 '20 at 6:43 As Kavi Rama Murthy's comment indicates, you haven't done anything wrong that I can see. You can quite easily very that $$x = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{12}$$ is a solution (coming from using $$\cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$$ on the right), as well as the first one you specify of $$x = 2n\pi + \frac{5\pi}{12}$$ (coming from using $$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$$ on the right). Thus, it seems the answer has an oversight. • @Techie5879 Unless there's some stated restriction on what $x$ could be, they are both valid options, so it seems the multiple-choice test has a mistake in it.

# Why is $1/i$ equal to $-i$? When I entered the value $$\frac{1}{i}$$ in my calculator, I received the answer as $-i$ whereas I was expecting the answer as $i^{-1}$. Even google calculator shows the same answer (Click here to check it out). Is there a fault in my calculator or $\frac{1}{i}$ really equals $-i$? If it does then how? • Hint $i^2 = -1$ – Mann May 11, 2015 at 12:14 • Multiply by $i/i$. May 11, 2015 at 12:14 • Hint $$z=\frac{1}{i}\iff zi=1\implies \dots$$ May 11, 2015 at 12:56 • Three down votes for someone exhibiting natural mathematical curiosity and having the wherewithal to ask about it is shameful. May 11, 2015 at 14:50 • Excellent question I wondered that myself when I read it. I could say $+1$ but given the context of the question I should say $+i$! May 13, 2015 at 1:04 $$\frac{1}{i}=\frac{i}{i^2}=\frac{i}{-1}=-i$$ Note that $i(-i)=1$. By definition, this means that $(1/i)=-i$. The notation "$i$ raised to the power $-1$" denotes the element that multiplied by $i$ gives the multiplicative identity: $1$. In fact, $-i$ satisfies that since $$(-i)\cdot i= -(i\cdot i)= -(-1) =1$$ That notation holds in general. For example, $2^{-1}=\frac{1}{2}$ since $\frac{1}{2}$ is the number that gives $1$ when multiplied by $2$. • I appreciate that this answer gives context to the calculation. +1 ! May 11, 2015 at 15:04 There are multiple ways of writing out a given complex number, or a number in general. Usually we reduce things to the "simplest" terms for display -- saying $0$ is a lot cleaner than saying $1-1$ for example. The complex numbers are a field. This means that every non-$0$ element has a multiplicative inverse, and that inverse is unique. While $1/i = i^{-1}$ is true (pretty much by definition), if we have a value $c$ such that $c * i = 1$ then $c = i^{-1}$. This is because we know that inverses in the complex numbers are unique. As it happens, $(-i) * i = -(i*i) = -(-1) = 1$. So $-i = i^{-1}$. As fractions (or powers) are usually considered "less simple" than simple negation, when the calculator displays $i^{-1}$ it simplifies it to $-i$. $-i$ is the multiplicative inverse of $i$ in the field of complex numbers, i.e. $-i * i = 1$, or $i^{-1} = -i$. $$\frac{1}{i}=\frac{i^4}{i}=i^3=i^2\cdot i = -i$$ I always like to point out that this fits well into a pattern you see when "rationalising the denominator", if the denominator is a root: $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2}$$ $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{1}{17}\sqrt{17}$$ $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{a}} = \frac{1}{a}\sqrt{a}$$ $$\frac{1}{i} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{-1}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{-1}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{-1}}{\sqrt{-1}} = \frac{1}{-1}\sqrt{-1} = - i.$$ In this vein, it is almost more suggestive to write $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$ $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{\sqrt{17}}{17}$$ $$\frac{1}{i} = \frac{i}{-1}.$$ By the definition of the inverse $$\frac1i\cdot i=1.$$ This agrees with $$(-i)\cdot i=1.$$ Any complex number is fully described by its magnitude and phase (argument) via the complex exponential. $$X = |X|e^{i\arg{X}}$$ It is useful to write complex numbers in this form when multiplying and dividing as we can make use of exponent rules. Division in this instance simplifies to dividing the magnitudes and subtracting the phases. Before we compute this division, lets calculate the magnitude and phase of $$1$$ and $$i$$. It is quite obvious that the magnitudes of both numbers are $$1$$ (i.e. $$|1|=|i|=1$$). And by definition the phases are: $$\arg{1} = 0$$ $$\arg{i} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$ Our two complex exponentials are therefore: $$1 = e^{i0}$$ $$i = e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}$$ Now we perform the division making use of the exponent rules: $$\frac{1}{i}=\frac{e^{i0}}{e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}}=e^{-i\frac{\pi}{2}}$$ If you consult the unit circle (since the magnitude is 1), you will find that a phase of $$-\frac{\pi}{2}$$ corresponds to $$−i$$. Alternatively you can apply Euler's formula: $$e^{-i\frac{\pi}{2}} = \cos\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) +i\sin\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) =-i$$ I want to add the method that I like. $$\frac{1}{i}$$ $$=\frac{1}{cis(\frac{\pi}{2})}$$ $$= cis(- \frac{\pi}{2})$$ $$=-i$$ Where $$cis(x)= \cos(x)+i \sin(x)$$

# Sum of Harmonic Series It is well known that the sum of a harmonic series does not have a closed form. Here is a formula which gives us a good approximation. We need to find the sum of the following series $\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{a+d}+\dfrac{1}{a+2d}+\ldots+\dfrac{1}{a+(n-1)d}$ Consider the function $$f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$$, we intend to take middle riemann sums with rectangles of width $$d$$ starting from $$x=a$$ to $$x=a+(n-1)d$$. Each rectangle in the figure has a width $$d$$. The height of the $$i\text{th}$$ rectangle is $$\frac{1}{a+(i-1)d}$$. The sum of the area of the rectangles is approximately equal to the area under the curve. Area under f(x) from $$x=a-\frac{d}{2}$$ to $$x=a+\left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right)d \approx\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{n} \frac{d}{a+(n-1)d}$$ $\large\Rightarrow \int_{a-\frac{d}{2}}^{a+\left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right)d} \dfrac{\mathrm{d}x}{x}\approx \displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{n} \frac{d}{a+(n-1)d}$ Let $$S_n =\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{n} \frac{1}{a+(n-1)d}$$ $\large\ln\dfrac{2a+(2n-1)d}{2a-d}\approx d\times S_n$ $\large\boxed{\Rightarrow s_n\approx\dfrac{\ln\dfrac{2a+(2n-1)d}{2a-d}}{d}}$ Note • Apologies for the shabby graph. • $$d\neq 0$$ Note by Aneesh Kundu 2 years, 6 months ago MarkdownAppears as *italics* or _italics_ italics **bold** or __bold__ bold - bulleted- list • bulleted • list 1. numbered2. list 1. numbered 2. list Note: you must add a full line of space before and after lists for them to show up correctly paragraph 1paragraph 2 paragraph 1 paragraph 2 [example link](https://brilliant.org)example link > This is a quote This is a quote # I indented these lines # 4 spaces, and now they show # up as a code block. print "hello world" # I indented these lines # 4 spaces, and now they show # up as a code block. print "hello world" MathAppears as Remember to wrap math in $$...$$ or $...$ to ensure proper formatting. 2 \times 3 $$2 \times 3$$ 2^{34} $$2^{34}$$ a_{i-1} $$a_{i-1}$$ \frac{2}{3} $$\frac{2}{3}$$ \sqrt{2} $$\sqrt{2}$$ \sum_{i=1}^3 $$\sum_{i=1}^3$$ \sin \theta $$\sin \theta$$ \boxed{123} $$\boxed{123}$$ Sort by: @Aneesh Kundu I have just added your formula to Harmonic Progression wiki.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1398083/are-there-many-different-power-series-representation-for-a-given-function

# Are there many different power series representation for a given function? So I have to find the power series representation for $f(x) = \ln (3-x)$. I attempted the following: $$\ln(3-x) = \int {- \frac{1}{3-x} dx}$$ $$= - \int { \frac{1}{1-(x-2)} dx}$$ $$= - \int {\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{(x-2)^n} dx}$$ $$= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} {\int(x-2)^ndx}$$ $$= \bigg(-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(x-2)^{n+1}}{n+1}\bigg)+K$$ Then if we let $x=2$, then we obtain that $K=0$. Hence the power series representation for $f(x)$ is $-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(x-2)^{n+1}}{n+1}$, where $|x-2|<1$. However the answer from my lecturer is given as: $$\ln(3)-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{x^n}{n\cdot3^n}}$$ Am I doing a mistake? Or are there many different power series representation for a given function? Any clarification would be highly appreciated. • It depends where you want to center your power series. Setting a given center, the power series representation is unique (and it exists for an holomorphic function). – Paolo Leonetti Aug 15 '15 at 12:24 • @PaoloLeonetti thanks for your explanation! that makes perfect sense. however, the question does not really specify the center of the power series representation. does that mean that my answer is actually correct as well? – Aaron Aug 15 '15 at 12:36 • In a word, yes :) Ps. How do you justify the exachange of infinite summation and integral? – Paolo Leonetti Aug 15 '15 at 12:36 • @PaoloLeonetti is that because we are allowed to do term-by-term integration? – Aaron Aug 15 '15 at 12:41 • " the question does not really specify the center of the power series representation. does that mean that my answer is actually correct as well?" In a word, no because when the center is not specified one is supposed to understand the center is zero. (Additionnally, in some curricula the only admissible center is zero.) – Did Aug 16 '15 at 15:59 Hint. Your route is OK, but you should rather start with $$\ln(3-x) = -\int_0^x { \frac{1}{3-t} dt}+\ln 3$$ then follow the same path to obtain the right answer. • Thanks! I followed this and ended up in the same form. however, say in an exam i wrote like the above, would it be correct though? – Aaron Aug 15 '15 at 12:36 Both series are correct. The one from the lecture is the series expansion around $x=0$, while the one derived in the posted question is the series expansion around $x=2$. And one could choose other arbitrary points around which to expand the function. Using a straightforward approach we see that for $f(x)=\log(3-x)$, we have for $n>0$ $$f^{(n)}(x)=(-1)^{n+1}(n-1)!(x-3)^{-n} \tag 1$$ We will use this in Approach 2 of the expansions around both $x=0$ and $x=3$ in that which follows. EXPANSION AROUND $x=0$ Approach 1: Using the approach outlined in the posted question, we find that \begin{align} \log(3-x)&=-\int_2^x \frac{1}{3-t}dt\\\\ &=-\int_2^x\frac{1}{1-(t-2)}dt\\\\ &=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\int_0^x (t-2)^n\\\\ &=-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(x-2)^n}{n} \end{align} which converges for $-1\le x<3$ and diverges otherwise. Approach 2: From $(1)$, we can see that $f^{(n)}(2)=(-1)^{n+1}(n-1)!(-1)^{-n}=-(n-1)!$ Therefore, we can write the series representation as $$\log(3-x)=-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(x-2)^n}{n}$$ which converges for $-1\le x<3$ and diverges otherwise as expected! EXPANSION AROUND $x=3$ Approach 1: Using the approach outlined in the posted question, we find that \begin{align} \log(3-x)&=\log 3-\int_0^x \frac{1}{3-t}dt\\\\ &=\log 3-\frac13\int_0^x\frac{1}{1-(t/3)}dt\\\\ &=\log 3-\frac13\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\int_0^x (t/3)^n\\\\ &=\log 3-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n3^n} \end{align} which converges for $-3\le x<3$ and diverges otherwise. Approach 2: From $(1)$, we can also see that $f^{(n)}(0)=(-1)^{n+1}(n-1)!(-3)^{-n}=-\frac{(n-1)!}{3^n}$. Therefore, we can write the series representation as $$f(x)=\log 3-\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n3^n}$$ which converges for $-3\le x<3$ and diverges otherwise as expected! • Please let me know how I can improve my answer. I really just want to give you the best answer I can. – Mark Viola Aug 17 '15 at 15:10

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4257386/given-the-gcd-and-lcm-of-n-positive-integers-how-many-solutions-are-there

Given the GCD and LCM of n positive integers, how many solutions are there? Question: Suppose you know $$G:=\gcd$$ (greatest common divisor) and $$L:=\text{lcm}$$ (least common multiple) of $$n$$ positive integers; how many solution sets exist? In the case of $$n = 2$$, one finds that for the $$k$$ distinct primes dividing $$L/G$$, there are a total of $$2^{k-1}$$ unique solutions. I am happy to write out a proof of the $$n = 2$$ case if desirable, but my question here concerns the more general version. The $$n=3$$ case already proved thorny in my explorations, so I would be happy to see smaller cases worked out even if responders are unsure about the full generalization. Alternatively: If there is already an existing reference to this problem and its solution, then a pointer to such information would be most welcome, too! • @Yorch Your comment only links to the question in the case where $n=2$; for me, this case was no trouble! I am asking, specifically, about the general case: Where you have positive integers $\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}$. Sep 22 '21 at 15:53 • do you require that the $n$ positive integers be distinct? Are you trying to count the multisets? I think that is the only version I haven't been able to solve. Sep 22 '21 at 16:04 • @Yorch No requirement that the integers be distinct and/but (ideally!) counting distinct solutions. If you think that you can make traction on a modified version (i.e. imposing additional constraints) then I'd still be pleased to see what you come up with. Sep 22 '21 at 16:08 If you are interested in counting tuples $$(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n)$$ such that $$\gcd(a_1,\dots,a_n) = G$$ and $$\operatorname{lcm}(a_1,\dots,a_n) = L$$ then we can do it as follows. If $$L/G = \prod\limits_{i=1}^s p_i^{x_i}$$ then each $$a_i$$ must be of the form $$G \prod\limits_{j=1}^s p_i^{y_{i,j}}$$ with $$0 \leq y_{i,j} \leq x_i$$. Hence for each prime $$p_i$$ we require that the function from $$\{1,\dots, n\}$$ to $$\mathbb N$$ that sends $$j$$ to $$y_{i,j}$$ be a function that hits $$0$$ and $$x_i$$. The number of such functions is easy by inclusion-exclusion for $$x_i \geq 1$$, it is $$(x_i+1)^n - 2(x_i)^n + (x_i-1)^n$$. It follows the total number of tuples is $$\prod\limits_{i=1}^s ( (x_i+1)^n - 2x_i^n + (x_i-1)^n)$$. • Counting tuples as in, with repetition, right? E.g. $(1,2)$ and $(2,1)$ would each be counted in your computation? If so, isn't it the case that (using your notation) you could assign the $s$ distinct primes (to their various powers) as divisors of any of the $n$ integers or a subset of them (e.g. to $\{a_1, a_3, a_7\}$)? There are $2^n$ subsets of $\{a_1, \ldots, a_n\}$, but we exclude the full set (this is the $\gcd$) as well as the empty set for a total of $2^{n} - 2$ subsets. Assigning the aforementioned $s$ primes can now be done in in $s^{2^{n} - 2}$ ways. Or have I misunderstood? Sep 22 '21 at 17:17 • Yes, that is what it looks like when no prime appears more than once in $L/G$, you would get $(2^n-2)^s$@BenjaminDickman , when you have a prime with exponent greater than $1$ dividing $L/G$ it becomes more complex. Sep 22 '21 at 17:49 • lets consider $G=1$ and $L=8$ and $n = 3$. Here we must have that each $a_i$ is one of $1,2,4,8$, and we require that at least one of them is $1$ and at least one of them is $8$, there are $4^3$ total tuples, there are $3^3$ tuples that don't hit the value one, there are $3^3$ that don't hit the value $8$ and there are $2^3$ that don't hit etiher, so there are $4^3-2(3^3) + 2^3$ total triples that work. Sep 22 '21 at 18:08 • Ah, great! I have also been pointed to this same answer as Theorem 2.7 here: derby.openrepository.com/handle/10545/583372 (I may add an answer to this effect) Sep 22 '21 at 19:34 • The case $G,L$ is the same as the case $1,L/G$ Sep 23 '21 at 16:39 (Adding this community wiki answer to point out a relevant reference.) I was recently pointed to the following paper, in which this and related problems are proposed and solved: Bagdasar, O. (2014.) "On some functions involving the lcm and gcd of integer tuples."

The result appears as Theorem 2.7 (cf. the comment of Yorch, too):

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/618091/inferential-logic-in-a-simple-life-situation

# Inferential logic in a simple-life situation. Here's a little situation I want math to resolve for me : 1. If I study, I make the exam , 2. If I do not play tennis, I study , 3. I didn't make the exam Can I conclude that was playing tennis ? Trying to put this into the symbology of inference logic and propositional classic logic : $P1 : \text{study} \implies \text{exam}$ $P2 : (\text{tennis}\, \vee \text{study}) \wedge (\neg \text{tennis} \implies \text{study})$ (disjunctive syllogism) $p3 : \neg \text{exam}$ My reasoning : Step 1 : the contrapositive of $P1$ is $P1' : \neg \text{exam} \implies \neg \text{study}$ ; Step 2 : By Modus Tollens ( $[(P \implies Q) \wedge \neg Q] \implies \neg P$) we have : $(\text{study} \implies \text{exam}) \wedge (\neg \text{exam} \implies \neg \text{study})$ Step 3 : should we suppose : $\neg \text{tennis} \wedge \neg \text{study}$, then $\neg ( \text{tennis} \vee \text{study})$, then (by $P2$) $\text{tennis}$ or otherwise the $P1$ would fall since $\neg \text{study}$ and $\neg (False \implies False)$. Step 4 : reductio ad absurdum from step $(3)$, we have $(\text{tennis} \vee \text{study})$, henceforth, in $P2$, $\neg \text{tennis}$ or else $false \implies false$. So, have I been playing tennis or is my inferential logic bad ? • The title should be more informative. – Paracosmiste Dec 25 '13 at 15:38 • Would the person that "minused" the question care to say why ? That would be nice ! – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 16:11 • I'm not the downvoter. – Paracosmiste Dec 25 '13 at 16:26 • I am not accusing either, and I've just asked the question to see what I can avoid next time :) – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 16:28 Yes, indeed, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that you played tennis: and the repeated use of modus tollens, alone (plus one invocation of double negation) gets you that conclusion. Our premises, in "natural language": 1. If I study, I make the exam , 2. If I do not play tennis, I study , 3. I didn't make the exam KEY: $S:\;$ I study. $E:\;$ I make the exam. $P:\;$ I play tennis. Then our premises translate to: $(1): S \rightarrow E$. $(2): \lnot P \rightarrow S.$ $(3): \lnot E.$ $(4)\quad \lnot S$ follows from $(1), (3)$ by modus tollens. $(5)\quad \lnot \lnot P$ follows from $(2), (4)$ by modus tollens. $\therefore (6) \quad P$, by $(5)$ and double negation. Hence you can conclude you played tennis. • As @Matt Brenneman did, you translated the second statement to : $\neg P \implies S$ while I've translated it to : $(P \vee S) \wedge \neg S \implies P$, which I thought was safer. Admitting your translation, I would totally agree with your reasoning, but admitting mine, would we come still to the conclusion that I play tennis ? – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 16:19 • Yes, absolutely you would! $\lnot P \rightarrow S \equiv \lnot \lnot P \lor S\equiv P \lor S$. Then since we have $\lnot S$, too, you can conclude $P$. – Namaste Dec 25 '13 at 16:36 • I know you love logic and for this reason this answer is excellent;-)+1 – user63181 Dec 25 '13 at 16:51 • @amWhy : thank you, now it's clear ! – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 18:16 • You're welcome, @Gloserio! – Namaste Dec 25 '13 at 18:23 You made a mistake in your step 3, because considering only P2, the term $\neg ( tennis \vee study)$ does not imply $tennis \vee study$. This may sound counter-intuitive to your introduction. The reason is, that your P2 is an arguable translation of statement 2. It is not equivalent to "if I don't play tennis, I study". Rather it states "if I don't play tennis and if I study, I study", which is a tautology. You can see this by drawing a truth-table for P2. Also note that $\neg exam, \neg tennis, \neg study$ satisfies P1,P2 and P3. So I would replace P2 by $$\neg tennis \rightarrow study.$$ This also repairs your Step3. • +1, you're probably true, that why I've asked this question, because I felt as if my $P2$ was somewhat redundant. Thanks for pointing it out ! – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 16:26 Yes. It just reduces down to look at the contrapositives of your statements. Statement 1 is logically equivalent to : ~(make exam) implies ~study. Statement 2 is logically equivalent to: ~study implies (play tennis). So the truth of ~(make exam) directly implies you played tennis (use modus ponens twice). • How is second statement logically equivalent to $\neg study \implies tennis$ ? – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 15:52 • It is the contrapositive of the statement: "~(play tennis) implies study" – Matt Brenneman Dec 25 '13 at 15:54 • So how that you converted natural langage to logic symobols, and in its valid. – Gloserio Dec 25 '13 at 16:20

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3607102/calculating-total-number-of-allowable-paths/3607174

# calculating total number of allowable paths I seem to be struggling with the following type of path questions Consider paths starting at $$(0, 0)$$ with allowable steps (i) from $$(x,y)$$ to $$(x+1,y+2)$$, (ii) from $$(x,y)$$ to $$(x+2,y+1)$$, (iii)from $$(x,y)$$ to $$(x+1,y)$$ Determine the total number of allowable paths from $$(0, 0)$$ to $$(8, 8)$$, and the total number of allowable paths from $$(0, 0)$$ to $$(10, 10)$$. could anyone recommend a trivial method to tackle problems of these types in an exam setting? • General answer for these type of problems would be to use recursion, as answered by Rob Pratt. However, in this "small" case it might be easier to do things "on hand", especially in exam setting. Suppose you do $A$ moves of type (i), $B$ of type (ii) and $C$ of type (iii). After putting constraints on $A, B, C$ you will see that there is only two possibilities in both of your question. Can you work out the rest by yourself? Apr 2, 2020 at 21:56 • I don't understand @prosinac Apr 2, 2020 at 22:44 Draw a table and think backwards. Let $$p(x,y)$$ be the number of such paths from $$(0,0)$$ to $$(x,y)$$. By conditioning on the last step into $$(x,y)$$, we find that $$p(x,y)=p(x-1,y-2)+p(x-2,y-1)+p(x-1,y),$$ where $$p(x,y)=0$$ if $$x<0$$ or $$y<0$$. You know that $$p(0,0)=1$$, and you want to compute $$p(8,8)$$ and $$p(10,10)$$. The resulting table is $$\begin{matrix} x\backslash y &0 &1 &2 &3 &4 &5 &6 &7 &8 &9 &10 \\ \hline 0 &1 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ 1 &1 &0 &1 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ 2 &1 &1 &2 &0 &1 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ 3 &1 &2 &3 &2 &3 &0 &1 &0 &0 &0 &0 \\ 4 &1 &3 &5 &6 &6 &3 &4 &0 &1 &0 &0 \\ 5 &1 & &8 &12 &13 &12 &10 &4 &5 &0 &1 \\ 6 & & &12 & &27 &30 &26 &20 &15 &5 &6 \\ 7 & & & & &51 & &65 &60 &45 &30 &21 \\ 8 & & & & & & &146 & &\color{red}{130} &105 &71 \\ 9 & & & & & & & & &336 & &231 \\ 10 & & & & & & & & & & &\color{red}{672} \\ \end{matrix}$$ In particular, $$p(8,8) = p(7,6)+p(6,7)+p(7,8) = 65+20+45=130.$$ • How could you apply this with perhaps a path D: $(x,y)->(x,y-1)$ ? Apr 3, 2020 at 13:13 • You can use the same approach. The new recurrence has an additional $+p(x,y+1)$ term, and you should explicitly include a boundary condition $p(x,y)=0$ for $y>2x$ to avoid infinite descent. Apr 3, 2020 at 14:46 Suppose you do $$A$$ moves of type (i), $$B$$ of type (ii) and $$C$$ of type (iii). If you want to reach $$(8, 8)$$, then clearly $$A + 2B + C = 8$$ and $$2A + B = 8$$. This yields $$B = 8-2A$$ and $$C = 3A - 8$$. Since $$A, B, C$$ are nonnegative integers, you obtain solutions $$(A, B, C) = (3, 2, 1)$$ or $$(4, 0, 4)$$. Now to calculate paths, for $$(4, 0, 4)$$ case, a path is described by string of four $$A$$s and four $$C$$s. For example, $$AAACCACC$$ is one such path. There is $${8 \choose 4} = 70$$ such paths. For the $$(3, 2, 1)$$ case there is $${6 \choose 3} \cdot 3 = 60$$ such paths. Altogether there are $$130$$ such paths. For reaching $$(10, 10)$$ same logic gives you $$B = 10 - 2A$$ and $$C = 3A - 10$$, so solutions are $$(4, 2, 2)$$ and $$(5, 0, 5)$$. So, the number of paths is $${8 \choose 4} {4 \choose 2} + {10 \choose 5} = 70 \cdot 6 + 252 = 672$$. This is in agreement with Rob Pratts answer. Also, I would like to emphasise as I did in the comment that his answer is "better" in a sense that it illustrates how you can handle any problem of this type, since his answers scales reasonably to larger numbers. This answer can from the practical point of view only be used on such a small examples. But, if I was writing an exam, I'd take this approach (or at least I would try and then estimate would it be faster done this way or in the more general way) • +1 I like these kind of "restrict by case" approaches too. It is not that hard to scale for larger numbers as there is a pattern, though the calculation could be tedious. E.g It works nicely for This question. Apr 3, 2020 at 0:08 • If you prefer multinomial coefficients to binomial coefficients, the formulas are $\binom{6}{3,2,1}+\binom{8}{4,4}$ and $\binom{8}{4,2,2}+\binom{10}{5,5}$. Apr 3, 2020 at 1:24 • I understand everything but where has A+2B+C=8 and 2A+B=8 come from? I don't seen how 8 can be reached using these steps? @prosinac Apr 3, 2020 at 16:58 • If you do $A$ moves of type (i) then you moved $A$ steps on the $x$-axis. If you do $B$ moves of type (ii) then you moved $2B$ steps on the $x$-axis. If you do $C$ moves of type (iii) then you moved $C$ steps on the $x$-axis. And you must move $8$ steps in total. So $A+2B+C=8$. Same logic for $y$-axis gives second equation Apr 3, 2020 at 21:26

When m is raised to the third power, it becomes the square of another integer. How many different values could m be? A. 7 B. 9 C. 11 D. 13 E. 15 We are given that m is a positive integer less than 100. We are also given that when m is raised to the third power, it becomes the square of another integer. In order for that to be true, m itself must (already) be a perfect square, since any perfect square raised to the third power will still be a perfect square, i.e., square of an integer. Thus we are looking for perfect squares that are less than 100. Since there are 9 perfect squares that are less than 100, namely, 1, 4, 9, …, 64, and 81, the answer is 9. Let’s look at some examples to clarify this: Let’s assume that m = 4 = 2^2. Now, let’s raise m to the third power, obtaining m^3 = (2^2)^3 = 4^3 = 64, which is the perfect square 8^2. Another illustration: Let’s let m = 25 = 5^2. Now, let’s raise m to the third power, obtaining m^3 = (5^2)^3 = 25^3 = 15625, which is the perfect square of 125. (Note: By the way the problem is worded, “when m is raised to the third power, it becomes the square of another integer,” 1 should not be counted as one of the 9 different values m could be, unlike all the other 8 values. For example, take the number 4: 4^3 = 64 = 8^2, which is the square of another integer, 8. However, 1^3 = 1 = 1^2, which is the square of the same integer. The correct way to word the problem is “when m is raised to the third power, it becomes the square of an integer.”) _________________ Jeffery Miller GMAT Quant Self-Study Course 500+ lessons 3000+ practice problems 800+ HD solutions CR Forum Moderator Status: The best is yet to come.....

(1) When p is divided by 8, the remainder is 5 --> $$p=8q+5=x^2+y^2$$ --> as given that $$y=odd=2k+1$$ --> $$8q+5=x^2+(2k+1)^2$$ --> $$x^2=8q+4-4k^2-4k=4(2q+1-k^2-k)$$. So, $$x^2=4(2q+1-k^2-k)$$. Now, if $$k=odd$$ then $$2q+1-k^2-k=even+odd-odd-odd=odd$$ and if $$k=even$$ then $$2q+1-k^2-k=even+odd-even-even=odd$$, so in any case $$2q+1-k^2-k=odd$$ --> $$x^2=4*odd$$ --> in order $$x$$ to be multiple of 4 $$x^2$$ must be multiple of 16 but as we see it's not, so $$x$$ is not multiple of 4. Sufficient. (2) x – y = 3 --> $$x-odd=3$$ --> $$x=even$$ but not sufficient to say whether it's multiple of 4. _________________ Kudos [?]: 128792 [31], given: 12183 Veritas Prep GMAT Instructor Joined: 16 Oct 2010 Posts: 7674 Kudos [?]: 17354 [26], given: 232 Location: Pune, India Re: PS: Divisible by 4 [#permalink] ### Show Tags 19 Dec 2010, 07:49 26 KUDOS Expert's post 17 This post was BOOKMARKED netcaesar wrote: If p, x, and y are positive integers, y is odd, and p = x^2 + y^2, is x divisible by 4? (1) When p is divided by 8, the remainder is 5. (2) x – y = 3 Such questions can be easily solved keeping the concept of divisibility in mind. Divisibility is nothing but grouping. Lets say if we need to divide 10 by 2, out of 10 marbles, we make groups of 2 marbles each. We can make 5 such groups and nothing will be left over. So quotient is 5 and remainder is 0. Similarly if you divide 11 by 2, you make 5 groups of 2 marbles each and 1 marble is left over. So 5 is quotient and 1 is remainder. For more on these concepts, check out: http://gmatquant.blogspot.com/2010/11/divisibility-and-remainders-if-you.html First thing that comes to mind is if y is odd, $$y^2$$ is also odd. If $$y = 2k+1, y^2 = (2k + 1)^2 = 4k^2 + 4k + 1 = 4k(k+1) + 1$$ Since one of k and (k+1) will definitely be even (out of any two consecutive integers, one is always even, the other is always odd), 4k(k+1) will be divisible by 8. So when y^2 is divided by 8, it will leave a 1. Stmnt 1: When p is divided by 8, the remainder is 5. When y^2 is divided by 8, remainder is 1. To get a remainder of 5, when x^2 is divided by 8, we should get a remainder of 4. $$x^2 = 8a + 4$$ (i.e. we can make 'a' groups of 8 and 4 will be leftover) $$x^2 = 4(2a+1)$$ This implies $$x = 2*\sqrt{Odd Number}$$because (2a+1) is an odd number. Square root of an odd number will also be odd. Therefore, we can say that x is not divisible by 4. Sufficient. Stmnt 2: x - y = 3 Since y is odd, we can say that x will be even (Even - Odd = Odd). But whether x is divisible by 2 only or by 4 as well, we cannot say since here we have no constraints on p. Not sufficient. _________________ Karishma Veritas Prep | GMAT Instructor My Blog Get started with Veritas Prep GMAT On Demand for $199 Veritas Prep Reviews Kudos [?]: 17354 [26], given: 232 Intern Joined: 30 May 2013 Posts: 4 Kudos [?]: 8 [8], given: 8 Re: If p, x, and y are positive integers, y is odd, and p = x^2 [#permalink] ### Show Tags 15 Sep 2013, 22:13 8 This post received KUDOS I did this question this way. I found it simple. 1. p=x^2+y^2 y is odd p div 8 gives remainder 5. A number which gives remainder 5 when divided by 8 is odd. so (x^2 + y^2)/8 = oddnumber (x^2 + y^2) = 8 * oddnumber (this is an even number without doubt) x^2 + y^2 is even. Since y is odd to get x^2+y^2 even x must also be odd. X is an odd number not divisible by 4 Option A: 1 alone is sufficient Kudos [?]: 8 [8], given: 8 Intern Joined: 02 Sep 2010 Posts: 45 Kudos [?]: 146 [4], given: 17 Location: India Re: PS: Divisible by 4 [#permalink] ### Show Tags 18 Dec 2010, 11:23 4 This post received KUDOS 1 This post was BOOKMARKED maliyeci wrote: Very good solution I did not know this property of 8.

No. When you need to establish something, plugging in values is not fool proof. Anyway, in this question, how will you plug in values? You cannot assume a value for x since that is what you need to find. You will assume a value for y and a value for p such that they satisfy all conditions. This itself will be quite tricky. Then when you do get a value for x, you will find that it will be even but not divisible by 4. How can you be sure that this will hold for every value of y and p? When a statement is not sufficient, plugging in values can work - you find two opposite cases - one which answers in yes and the other which answers in no. Then you know that the statement alone is not sufficient. But when the statement is sufficient, it is very hard to prove that it will hold for all possible values using number plugging alone. You need to use logic in that case. _________________ Karishma Veritas Prep | GMAT Instructor My Blog Get started with Veritas Prep GMAT On Demand for$199 Veritas Prep Reviews Kudos [?]: 17354 [2], given: 232 Senior Manager Joined: 23 Jun 2009 Posts: 360 Kudos [?]: 134 [1], given: 80 Location: Turkey Schools: UPenn, UMich, HKS, UCB, Chicago Re: PS: Divisible by 4 [#permalink] ### Show Tags 15 Aug 2009, 13:49 1 KUDOS Very good solution I did not know this property of 8.

I was just wondering how the answer would change if we change the question stem a little bit. What if the question asks if p (instead of x) is divisible by 4? In this scenario, statement 1 would be sufficient since if something leaves a remainder of 5, it would leave a remainder of 1 upon division by 4 For statement 2, we know that x = y+3, so x is even. If we square it, it would surely be divisible by 4. Now if a number (y^2, which is odd) non-divisible by 4 is added to a number divisible by 4, the result would surely be not divisible by 4. So statement 2 would also be sufficient. Is this reasoning correct? just for practicing the concept Kudos [?]: 33 [0], given: 19 Manager Joined: 22 Jan 2014 Posts: 141 Kudos [?]: 74 [0], given: 145 WE: Project Management (Computer Hardware) Re: If p, x, and y are positive integers, y is odd, and p = x^2 [#permalink] ### Show Tags 31 Aug 2014, 03:38 netcaesar wrote: If p, x, and y are positive integers, y is odd, and p = x^2 + y^2, is x divisible by 4?

# What does "curly (curved) less than" sign $\succcurlyeq$ mean? I am reading Boyd & Vandenberghe's Convex Optimization. The authors use curved greater than or equal to (\succcurlyeq) $$f(x^*) \succcurlyeq \alpha$$ and curved less than or equal to (\preccurlyeq) $$f(x^*) \preccurlyeq \alpha$$ Can someone explain what they mean? • as () is curved and {} are curly ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket ), I think those symbols you mention are curved not curly Feb 9, 2014 at 6:43 • @barlop If you look at $\LaTeX$ source of the formulas in question (right click->Show Math As->TeX commands), you'll see \succcurlyeq, which has curly word in it, not curved. Feb 9, 2014 at 7:18 • Thanks everyone for answers. As I understand $\succeq$ or $\preceq$ are more general than their more popular counterparts. I think Michael's answer make sense. If I understand correctly, $X \succeq Y, \quad if \quad \| X \| \ge \| Y \|$ where $\| \cdot \|$ is the norm associated with the space $X$ and $Y$ belongs to. I think Chris's answer is correct but is more strict condition than Michael's answer. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Feb 9, 2014 at 17:53 • You should definitely take the tour. This is not a traditional forum! – bodo Feb 9, 2014 at 18:03 • Well I don't know what a traditional forum looks like. :-) Feb 9, 2014 at 18:20 Both Chris Culter's and Code Guru's answers are good, and I've voted them both up. I hope that I'm not being inappropriate by combining and expanding upon them here. It should be noted that the book does not use $\succeq$, $\preceq$, $\succ$, and $\prec$ with scalar inequalities; for these, good old-fashioned inequality symbols suffice. It is only when the quantities on the left- and right-hand sides are vectors, matrices, or other multi-dimensional objects that this notation is called for. The book refers to these relations as generalized inequalities, but as Code-Guru rightly points out, they have been in use for some time to represent partial orderings. And indeed, that's exactly what they are, and the book does refer to them that way as well. But given that the text deals with convex optimization, it was apparently considered helpful to refer to them as inequalities. Let $S$ be a vector space, and let $K\subset S$ be a closed, convex, and pointed cone with a non-empty interior. (By cone, we mean that $\alpha K\equiv K$ for all $\alpha>0$; and by pointed, we mean that $K\cap-K=\{0\}$.) Such a cone $K$ induces a partial ordering on the set $S$, and an associated set of generalized inequalities: $$x \succeq_K y \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad y \preceq_K x \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad x - y \in K$$ $$x \succ_K y \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad y \prec_K x \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad x - y \in \mathop{\textrm{Int}} K$$ This is a partial ordering because, for many pairs $x,y\in S$, $x \not\succeq_K y$ and $y \not\succeq_K x$. So that's the primary reason why he and others prefer to use the curly inequalities to denote these orderings, reserving $\geq$, $\leq$, etc. for total orderings. But it has many of the properties of a standard inequality, such as: $$x\succeq_K y \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \alpha x \succeq_K \alpha y \quad\forall \alpha>0$$ $$x\succeq_K y \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \alpha x \preceq_K \alpha y \quad\forall \alpha<0$$ $$x\succeq_K y, ~ x\preceq_K y \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x=y$$ $$x\succ_K y \quad\Longrightarrow\quad x\not\prec_K y$$ When the cone $K$ is understood from context, it is often dropped, leaving only the inequality symbol $\succeq$. There are two cases where this is almost always done. First, when $S=\mathbb{R}^n$ and the cone $K$ is non-negative orthant $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ the generalized inequality is simply an elementwise inequality: $$x \succeq_{\mathbb{R}^n_+} y \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad x_i\geq y_i,~i=1,2,\dots,n$$ Second, when $S$ is the set of symmetric $n\times n$ matrices and $K$ is the cone of positive semidefinite matrices $\mathcal{S}^n_+=\{X\in S\,|\,\lambda_{\text{min}}(X)\geq 0\}$, the inequality is a linear matrix inequality (LMI): $$X \succeq_{\mathcal{S}^n_+} Y \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \lambda_{\text{min}}(X-Y)\geq 0$$ In both of these cases, the cone subscript is almost always dropped. Many texts in convex optimization don't bother with this distinction, and use $\geq$ and $\leq$ even for LMIs and other partial orderings. I prefer to use it whenever I can, because I think it helps people realize that this is not a standard inequality with an underlying total order. That said, I don't feel that strongly about it for $\mathbb{R}^n_+$; I think most people rightly assume that $x\geq y$ is considered elementwise when $x,y$ are vectors. • Thanks a lot for the detailed answer, and for correcting the symbol as well :-). Feb 9, 2014 at 16:35 • This is an old answer and I completely agree with it but I thought that providing another common application of this notation might be useful. As @Code-Guru pointed out, these are useful for partial orders. In Economics, we usually model preferences over baskets of goods with "not worse than" or "not better than" sets. The partial order concept fits like a glove in this situation. The interested reader might find books in Decision Sciences useful for this kind of discussion. Dec 30, 2020 at 21:13 There's a list of notation in the back of the book. On page 698, $x\preceq y$ is defined as componentwise inequality between vectors $x$ and $y$. This means that $x_i\leq y_i$ for every index $i$. Edit: The notation is introduced on page 32. Often these symbols represent partial order relations. The typical "less than" and "greater than" operations both define partial orders on the real numbers. However, there are many other examples of partial orders. Sometimes the curly greater than sign is used to indicate positive semi-definiteness of a matrix $$X$$: $$(X\succeq 0\ \text{or}\ X\ge 0)$$ or a function $$f(x)$$ $$(f(x) \succeq 0\ \text{or}\ f(x)\ge 0).$$ • Positive definiteness of what? Aug 26, 2015 at 17:03 Does it sometimes denote, in measurement theory; often the qualitative counterpart to $\geq$ in the numerical representation; when one wants to numerically represent a totally ordered qualitative probability representation: $$A ≽ B \leftrightarrow A > B \leftrightarrow F(A) \geq F(B)$$. On the other hand. I have seen it used in multi-dimensional partial or even total, orderings under the "ordering of major-ization" for vector valued functions or for a system for two kinds of orderings. One for (numerical) ordinal, $>$ comparisons and another, $≽$ for (numerical) differences, sums, or a some other kind of relation, to fine grain, the representation to ensure (or some kind of) unique-ness, rather than merely strong represent-ability. See Marshall Marshall, Albert W.; Olkin, Ingram, Inequalities: theory of majorization and its applications, Mathematics in Science and Engineering, Vol. 143. New York etc.: Academic Press.

I hope you can understand the above. I'll do the first one for you- graph it. The conditions are the "if" parts in the piece-wise function. Domain is (-3, inf) and there are no intersepts. Try graphing it. You have a line with slope = 1 and an exponential function. EDIT: Sorry, there are x and y-intercepts, as Soroban pointed out, although the two graphs do not not intersect which is what I was getting at. 3. Hello, symmetry! For both questions below: . . (a) Find the domain of the function. . . (b) Locate any intercepts. Did you make a sketch? $(1)\;\;f(x) \:=\:\begin{Bmatrix} 3 + x & &\text{if }\text{-}3 \leq x < 0 \\ 3 & &\text{if }x = 0 \\ \sqrt{x} & &\text{if }x > 0 \end{Bmatrix}$ Code: | | * * * * | * * |* ----*-----o-------------- -3 | Domain: . $(\text{-}3,\,\infty)$ Intercepts: . $(\text{-}3,0),\:(0,3)$ $(2)\;\;f(x)\:=\:\begin{Bmatrix}\frac{1}{x} & & \text{if }x < 0 \\ \sqrt{x} & & \text{if }x \geq 0 \end{Bmatrix}$ Code: | | * | * | * |* ------------------*---------------- * | * | * | * | * | | *| | Domain: . $(-\infty,\,\infty)$ Intercepts: . $(0,\,0)$ 4. ## ok Thank you again both for your quick replies. To soroban, No, I did not sketch the graph because I do not know how to graph piecewise-defined functions. I understand these functions are graphed in parts, right? Can you take me through a sample graphing question in terms of this type of function? Thanks! 5. Originally Posted by symmetry Thank you again both for your quick replies.

Can you take me through a sample graphing question in terms of this type of function? Thanks! Yes, they are 'graphed in parts,' I guess you could call it. For instance, Take the first condition; f(x) = 3 + x if -3 <= x < 0 From x = -3 (including this point) to x = 0 (not including, and thus draw an open circle by this point), you will graph 3 + x; see Soroban's graph. The reason why it's closed (solid dot) is because of the next condition later, and thus includes that point. Try look up piece-wise functions on Wikipedia. 6. ## ok I like graphing functions. I think piecewise-defined functions are cool but not easy to sketch. Thanks! 7. Hello again, symmetry! Okay, here's an example. . . $f(x) \:=\:\begin{Bmatrix}3 & \text{if }0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ 2x + 1 & \text{if }x > 1\end{Bmatrix}$ When $x$ is between $0$ and $1$ (including the endpoints), . . the graph is $f(x) = 3$, a horizontal line. Code: | 3* * * * * | | - + - - - + - - | 1 When $x$ is greater than 1, the graph is $f(x) \:=\:2x + 1$, . . a slanted line. Code: | | * | * | * | * 3| * | | - + - - - + - - - - - - - | 1 Sketch them on the same graph . . and have the graph of the piecewise function. Code: | | * | * | * | * 3o * * * * | | - + - - - + - - - - - - - | 1 This function could be your long-distance charge. They might charge $3 for the first minute . . and$2 per minute for every subsequent minute. (Hmmm, not a good example . . . I'm sure someone will point out why.)

# Mellin transform of $x^p$ seems to miss a factor of $2\pi$ Bug introduced in 11.1 or earlier and fixed in 11.3 On Mathematica 11.1.1.0 the Mellin transform of $x^p$ is evaluated as $\delta(p+s)$, while I think it should be $2\pi\,\delta(p+s)$: In:= MellinTransform[x^p, x, s, GenerateConditions -> True] Out:= DiracDelta[p + s] edited posting after Daniel Lichtblau's comment I initially did not understand this result, but this 2004 paper has explained to me how to arrive at the Dirac delta function, however, with an additional factor of $2\pi$. I checked that this is not a matter of a different definition of the Mellin transform. (I summarized the calculation in this Mathoverflow posting.) Missing factor $2\pi$ is fixed in Mathematica 11.3.0: In:= MellinTransform[x^p, x, s, GenerateConditions -> True] Out:= 2π DiracDelta[i(p + s)] consequence: before 11.3 Integrate[MellinTransform[1, x, s], {s, -Infinity, Infinity}] returned 1, now it returns $2\pi\int_{-\infty}^\infty\delta(is)ds$ Q: is this v. 11.3 change in the implementation of MellinTransform documented somewhere? • See last example in documentation under Scope Elementary Functions. It should be noted that this is a generalization of the integral definition, not unlike the case for FourierTransform. – Daniel Lichtblau Jul 9 '17 at 15:27 • thank you, Daniel, for the feedback, I understand things a bit better now and have edited my posting accordingly --- my problem has been reduced to a missing factor $2\pi$... – Carlo Beenakker Jul 9 '17 at 19:06 • What specific definition is used is not particularly important so long as the MellinTransform and InverseMellinTransform are inverses of each other. Both x^p == InverseMellinTransform[ MellinTransform[x^p, x, s], s, x] and DiracDelta[p + s] == MellinTransform[ InverseMellinTransform[DiracDelta[p + s], s, x], x, s] evaluate to True – Bob Hanlon Jul 9 '17 at 22:41 • @BobHanlon --- but if we assume that the factor of $2\pi$ is absorbed in the definition of DiracDelta, then Integrate[MellinTransform[1, x, s], {s, -Infinity, Infinity}] should return $2\pi$, while instead it returns 1. – Carlo Beenakker Jul 10 '17 at 6:18 • The integral of DiracDelta should be one. – Bob Hanlon Jul 10 '17 at 14:48 The Mellin transforms for $x^j$ reported by Mathematica 11.2 didn't make sense to me, so on 11/28/2017 I submitted the following question on Math StackExchange. Questions on Mellin Transform of $x^j$ and Interpretation of Distributions with Complex Arguments I ended up deriving the answer to my own question and on 12/7/2017 I submitted a problem report to Wolfram technical support where I attached a Mathematica notebook illustrating the problem and the correct solution (CASE:3980660). I received an email from Wolfram technical support on 12/13/2017 indicating my analysis was accepted as correct and a report was being filed with the developers. The correct solution was subsequently implemented in Mathematica 11.3. Note that not only was the $2\,\pi$ prefix missing, but $i$ was also missing in the $\delta$ function parameter. I subsequently posted the correct solution in answers to related questions on both Math StackExchange and MathOverflow StackExchange.

# Finding Horizontal Tangent Planes on S 1. Dec 2, 2011 ### TranscendArcu 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data S is the surface with equation $$z = x^2 +2xy+2y$$a) Find an equation for the tangent plane to S at the point (1,2,9). b) At what points on S, in any, does S have a horizontal tangent plane? 3. The attempt at a solution $$F(x,y,z): z = x^2 +2xy+2y$$ $$F_x = 2x + 2y$$ $$F_y = 2x + 2$$ Evaluated at (1,2) gives answers 6 and 4, respectively. My equation for a plane is: $$z-9=6(x-1) + 4(y-1)$$. I think any horizontal plane should have normal vector <0,0,k>, where k is some scalar. I'm pretty sure that S has no such normal vector. But if $$F(x,y,z): 0 = x^2 +2xy+2y - z$$ then $$grad F = <2x + 2y,2x + 2,-1>$$ It seems like I can let (x,y) = (-1,1) to zero the x-, y-components of the gradient. Plugging (-1,1) into the definition of z gives z = 1. This suggests to me that there is a point (-1,1,1), at which there is a horizontal tangent plane. Yet I feel pretty sure that this isn't true! 2. Dec 3, 2011 ### ehild You made a little mistake when writing out the equation of the tangent plane. The y coordinate of the fixed point is 2, you wrote 1. A surface in 3D is of the form F(x,y,z) = constant. For this surface, x2+2xy+2y-z=0. That means F(x,y,z)=x2+2xy+y-z. The gradient of F is normal to the surface, and the tangent plane of the surface at a given point. You want a horizontal tangent plane, so a vertical gradient:(0,0,a). That means Fx=2x+2y=0, Fy=2x+2=0 --->x=-1, y=1, so your result for the x,y coordinates are correct. Plugging into the original equation for x and y, you got z=x2+2xy+2y=1, it is correct. Why do you feel it is not? ehild 3. Dec 3, 2011 ### TranscendArcu When I graphed F(x,y,z) in MatLab (and it's possible I graphed it incorrectly), I observed that the the resulting paraboloid is always "tilted". Below is a picture from my plot: http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/687/skjermbilde20111203kl85.png [Broken] How can this surface have a horizontal tangent anywhere when it is tilted like this? Last edited by a moderator: May 5, 2017 4. Dec 3, 2011 ### ehild Try to plot z out for -2<x<0 and 0<y<2 ehild 5. Dec 3, 2011 ### TranscendArcu http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/139/skjermbilde20111203kl10.png [Broken] Hmm. I'm not seeing the a point in this picture where the gradient is pointing directly upwards. Everything still looks kind of tilted. Last edited by a moderator: May 5, 2017 6. Dec 3, 2011 ### ehild The function is equivalent with z=(x+2y-1)(x+1)+1 and z=1 along the lines x=-1 and y=(1-x)/2. I attach a plot of the surface near the point (-1,1) ehild File size: 81.6 KB Views: 127 7. Dec 4, 2011 ### HallsofIvy Staff Emeritus I presume that by "horizontal" you mean perpendicular to the z-axis. The simplest way to find a tangent planes for a surface is to write it in the form F(x,y,z)= constant. Then the normal to the tangent plane at any point is given by $\nabla F$. Here, you can write $F(x, y,z)= x^2+ 2xy+ 2y- z= 0$. What is $\nabla F$? That will be vertical (and so tangent plane horizontal) when its x and y components are 0. 8. Dec 4, 2011 ### ehild @HallsofIvy: The OP has shown the solution in his first post, he only can not believe it, as the surfaces he got with MatLab look tilted. If you could give advice how to plot surfaces with MatLab, that would be real help for him. ehild 9. Dec 4, 2011 ### TranscendArcu If anyone is familiar with MatLab, this is the code I've been using: Note that the "%" mark my annotations. I included them so that hopefully you can follow what I'm doing more easily. 10. Dec 4, 2011 ### TranscendArcu Ha! I figured it out. I forgot a "." I should have written z = x.^2 + 2*x.*y +2*y; Everything makes sense now. 11. Dec 4, 2011 ### ehild You see: it is worth typing something out again and again. Is your plot similar to my one? It was made with Origin. I would like to see your final plot... Please... ehild 12.

http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/66443/a-square-matrix-has-the-same-minimal-polynomial-over-its-base-field-as-it-has-ov

# A square matrix has the same minimal polynomial over its base field as it has over an extension field I think I have heard that the following is true before, but I don't know how to prove it: Let $A$ be a matrix with real entries. Then the minimal polynomial of $A$ over $\mathbb{C}$ is the same as the minimal polynomial of $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$. Is this true? Would anyone be willing to provide a proof? Attempt at a proof: Let $M(t)$ be the minimal polynomial over the reals, and $P(t)$ over the complex numbers. We can look at $M$ as a polynomial over $\Bbb C$, in which case it will fulfil $M(A)=0$, and therefore $P(t)$ divides it. In addition, we can look at $P(t)$ as the sum of two polynomials: $R(t)+iK(t)$. Plugging $A$ we get that $R(A)+iK(A)=P(A)=0$, but this forces both $R(A)=0$ and $K(A)=0$. Looking at both $K$ and $R$ as real polynomials, we get that $M(t)$ divides them both, and therefore divides $R+iK=P$. Now $M$ and $P$ are monic polynomials, and they divide each other, therefore $M=P$. Does this look to be correct? More generally, one might prove the following Let $A$ be any square matrix with entries in a field$~K$, and let $F$ be an extension field of$~K$. Then the minimal polynomial of$~A$ over$~F$ is the same as the minimal polynomial of $A$ over$~K$. - There's the saying, "Look before you leap". I think I've managed to prove this.

Should I register? As this site allows me to post questions without registering, I figured it wouldn't be necessary. e- I'm done writing my proof. –  iroiroaru Sep 21 '11 at 18:53 Written before/while the OP was adding his/her own proof, which is essentially the same as what follows. Let $\mu_{\mathbb{R}}(x)$ be the minimal polynomial of $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$, and let $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)$ be the minimal polynomial of $A$ over $\mathbb{C}$. Since $\mu_{\mathbb{R}}(x)\in\mathbb{C}[x]$ and $\mu_{\mathbb{R}}(A) = \mathbf{0}$, then it follows by the definition of minimal polynomial that $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)$ divides $\mu_{\mathbb{R}}(x)$. I claim that $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}[x]$ has real coefficients. Indeed, write $$\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x) = x^m + (a_{m-1}+ib_{m-1})x^{m-1}+\cdots + (a_0+ib_0),$$ with $a_j,b_j\in\mathbb{R}$. Since $A$ is a real matrix, all entries of $A^j$ are real, so $$\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(A) = (A^m + a_{m-1}A^{m-1}+\cdots + a_0I) + i(b_{m-1}A^{m-1}+\cdots + b_0I).$$ In particular, $$b_{m-1}A^{m-1}+\cdots + b_0I = \mathbf{0}.$$ But since $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)$ is the minimal polynomial of $A$ over $\mathbb{C}$, no polynomial of smaller digree can annihilate $A$, so $b_{m-1}=\cdots=b_0 = 0$. Thus, all coefficients of $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)$ are real numbers. Thus, $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)\in\mathbb{R}[x]$, so by the definition of minimal polynomial, it follows that $\mu_{\mathbb{R}}(x)$ divides $\mu_{\mathbb{C}}(x)$ in $\mathbb{R}[x]$, and hence in $\mathbb{C}[x]$. Since both polynomials are monic and they are associates, they are equal. QED So, yes, your argument is correct. - Another way of proving this fact may be observing that ''you do not go out the field while using Gaussian elimination''. More precisely: Proposition. Let $K \subseteq F$ be a field extension let $v_1, \dots, v_r \in K^n$. If $v_1, \dots, v_r$ are linearly dependent over $F$, then they are linearly dependent over $K$. Proof. We'll prove the contrapositive of the statement. Suppose that the $v_i$'s are linearly independent over $K$. Let $\lambda_i \in F$ such that $\sum_i \lambda_i v_i = 0$. We can find $e_j \in F$ linearly independent over $K$ such that $\lambda_i = \sum_j \alpha_{ij} e_j$, with $\alpha_{ij} \in K$. Now from $\sum_{i,j} e_j \alpha_{ij} v_i = 0$ we deduce that $\sum_i \alpha_{ij} v_i = 0$, for every $j$. From the independence of $v_i$'s over $K$, we have $\alpha_{ij} = 0$, so $\lambda_i = 0$. $\square$ Now consider a field extension $K \subseteq F$ and a matrix $A \in M_n(K)$. Let $\mu_K$ and $\mu_F$ the minimal polynomials of $A$ over $K$ and $F$, respectively. Considering $I, A, A^2, \dots, A^r$ in the vector space $M_n(K)$, from the proposition you have $\deg \mu_K \leq \deg \mu_F$. On the other hand it is clear that $\mu_F$ divides $\mu_K$. So $\mu_F = \mu_K$. - As Andrea explained, the statement in the question results immediately from the following one. Let $K$ be a subfield of a field $L$, let $A$ be an $m$ by $n$ matrix with coefficients in $K$, and assume that the equation $Ax=0$ has a nonzero solution in $L^n$. Then it has a nonzero solution in $K^n$. But this is obvious, because the algorithm giving such a solution (or its absence) depends only on the field generated by the coefficients of $A$. - This looks correct. Another way to see it is that you can find the minimal polynomial of the matrix by computing the invariant factors of the matrix $A-XId$ over $\mathbb{R}$. Since the same process (with same operations) may be done over $\mathbb{C}$, their minimal polynomial is the same. sorry, i don't know the english word for the "invariant factors", i mean the process that using only row and columns operations, the matrix $A-XId$ may be uniquely writtten as some zero and a sequence of polynomial in the diagonal in which any polynomial divides the next one, and where the first is the minimal polynomial $A$ and the last the characteristic polynomial of $A$. - Don't apologise, I'm having trouble with English as well! Since Arturo posted what seems like a more straightforward proof (well, it's the one I thought of...), I've accepted his answer, but thank you for your input and I will consider your idea. –  iroiroaru Sep 21 '11 at 19:07

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/769366/how-many-non-empty-subsets-of-1-2-n-satisfy-that-the-sum-of-their-eleme

# How many non empty subsets of {1, 2, …, n} satisfy that the sum of their elements is even? The question I am working on is the case for $n$ = 9. How many non-empty subsets of $\{1,2,...,9\}$ have that the sum of their elements is even? My solution is that the sum of elements is even if and only if the subset contains an even number of odd numbers. Since this is precisely half of all of the subsets the answer is $\frac{2^{9}}{2}=2^8$. Then the question specifies non-empty so final answer is $2^8-1$. Is this correct? In general I guess the solutions is $2^{n}-1$. My problem is why do exactly half of the total amount of subsets have and even number of odd numbers? Can we set up a bijection between subsets with odd number of odd numbers and even number of odd numbers? Let $S$ be a subset of $\{0,1,2,\dots,9\}$, possibly empty. Note that $1+2+\cdots +9=45$. So the sum of the elements of $S$ is even if and only if the sum of the elements of the complement of $S$ is odd. Divide the subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,9\}$ into complementary pairs. There are $2^8$ such pairs, and exactly one element of each pair has even sum. Thus there are $2^8$ subsets with even sum, and $2^8-1$ if we exclude the empty set. Remark: Suppose that $1+2+\cdots+n$ is odd. This is the case when $n\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ and when $n\equiv 2\pmod{4}$. Then the same argument shows that there are $2^{n-1}$ subsets with even sum. We can use another argument for the general case. Note that there are just as many subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ that contain $1$ as there are subsets that do not contain $1$. And for any subset of $A$ of $\{2,3,\dots,n\}$, we have that $A$ has even sum if and only if $A\cup\{1\}$ has odd sum, and $A$ has odd sum if and only if $A\cup\{1\}$ has even sum. Thus in general there are $2^{n-1}$ subsets with even sum. The bijection between even-summed sets and odd-summed sets was quite natural when $n\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ or $n\equiv 2\pmod{4}$. In the general case, there is a nice bijection (add or subtract $\{1\}$), but it is less natural. Let's first count all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with even sum. Removing the empty sets then makes us have to subtract one from this result. The subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with even sum are one-to-one with the subsets of $\{2,\ldots,n\}$. For any set $J\subset\{2,\ldots,n\}$, if the sum of $J$ is even, then $J$ is a subset of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with even sum, while if the sum of $J$ is odd, then $\{1\}\cup J$ is a subset with even sum. Since there are $2^{n-1}$ subsets of $\{2,\ldots,n\}$, this is the number of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with even sum. Remove the empty set, and you get $2^{n-1}-1$. What you did is fine, we can get an alternative proof if we recall how we prove that there are $2^{n-1}$ subsets of $\{1,2\dots n\}$ of even cardinality. Let $E$ be the set of subsets of even cardinity and let $O$ be the set of subsets of odd cardinality, pick an arbitrary element $a\in\{1,2,3\dots n\}$. Then $f:E\rightarrow O$ defined as $X\mapsto \{a\}\Delta X$ is a bijection right? Well, if $E'$ is the set of subsets with even sum and $O'$ is the set of subsets with odd sum and $a\in\{1,2,3\dots n\}$ is odd. $f:E'\rightarrow O'$ defined as $X\mapsto \{a\}\Delta X$ is also a bijection. So in any finite subset $A$ of positive integers, exactly half of the subsets have even sum, unless all of the elements of $A$ are even, in which case all the subsets clearly have even sum. $\Delta$ is just the symmetric difference of sets, so $\{a\}\Delta X$ is $\{a\}\cup X$ if $a$ was not in $X$ and is $X\setminus\{a\}$ if $a$ was in $X$.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2886048/two-alternate-proofs-that-x-neq-0-wedge-xy-xz-implies-y-z

# Two Alternate Proofs that $x \neq 0 \wedge xy = xz \implies y = z$. I believe I have been able to construct in two ways, using the field axioms, that if $x \neq 0$ and $xy = xz$, then $y = z$. However, I've seen similar proofs like this assume that we can perform arithmetic operations, such as multiplying both sides by an inverse--which mirrors in some sense some proofs I've written in an abstract-algebra context--whereas others are more 'purist' in this sense. The similar proof in Rudin, for example, does not assume that we can use simple arithmetic. My question, then, is which of these is 'more' standard in a first-year analysis course? Proof 1: Assuming I can use arithmetic . Since $x \neq 0$, $\exists x^{-1}$ s.t. $xx^{-1} = x^{-1} x = 1$ by the field axioms. Therefore, \begin{align*} xy = xz & & \text{By assumption} \\ x^{-1} (xy) = x^{-1} (xz) & & \text{Multiply on left by $x^{-1}$} \\ \left(x^{-1} x\right)y = \left(x^{-1} x\right)z & & \text{Associativity} \\ 1y = 1z & & \text{Inverse properties} \\ y = z \end{align*} Example 2: Without assuming arithmetic, and mirroring Rudin. \begin{align*} y & = 1 \cdot y & & \text{Multiplicative identity} \\ & = \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{x}\right) y & & \text{Mult inverse axiom with $x \neq 0$} \\ & = \left(\frac{1}{x} \cdot x\right)y & & \text{Commutativity of multiplication} \\ & = \frac{1}{x} \left(x \cdot y\right) & & \text{Associativity of multiplication} \\ & = \frac{1}{x} \left(xz\right) & & \text{Assumption that $xy = xz$} \\ & = \left(\frac{1}{x} \cdot x\right) z & & \text{Associativity of multiplication} \\ & = 1z & & \text{Inverse properties} \\ & = z \end{align*} Thanks in advance. • If $K$ is a field, then $G=(K^{\times},\cdot)$ is an abelian group, so that the cancellation law holds. For $x,y\in G$ we have that $xy=xz$ implies that $y=z$. – Dietrich Burde Aug 17 '18 at 18:20 • In your "mirroring Rudin" example the proof is just one long chain of equal quantities: You want to show $y=z$ so you start with $y$ and write down expressions you know are equal to it using axioms and assumptions until you have a $z$. In your "arithmetic" proof, you have a list of equalities, and you use your axioms to transform them to get the claim you want: that $y=z$. I don't really think these proofs are different, and I expect people looking at your work would agree with me. But, if you want to make sure, I would suggest asking your grader/professor. – James Aug 17 '18 at 18:28 • Also, I think your worry about "using arithmetic" is illfounded. You have a claim such as $xy = xz$ in some structure you are reasoning about. You also have a binary function on that structure: multiplication. Therefore the quanties $x^{-1}(xy)$ and $x^{-1}(xz)$ are both defined because you are just plugging in elements of the domain into your function. That $y=z$ follows from the assumed properties of multiplication and the existance of inverses. – James Aug 17 '18 at 18:31 • One more thing. The only thing you must avoid in a proof of $y=z$ is starting with $y=z$ and deriving $0=0$ or $1=1$. As long as your proof starts with assumptions you are given, follows logically valid steps, and ends up with what you want, then the proof is good. Many of my students try to show $x=y$ and argue "$x=y$ ... <operations> ... $0=0$, QED". What is most frustrating is that often if they just turned the proof up-side-down, then it would be valid, i.e, the operations they effect on the equation can be done backwards to start with $0=0$ and derive $x=y$. – James Aug 17 '18 at 18:35 • Those two proofs are exactly the same as far as I can tell. Or aren't significantly different. "Assuming arithmatic" is a meaningless thing to say. To prove this we must have a well defined set of axioms. "Assuming arithmetic" is simply referring to them. – fleablood Aug 17 '18 at 18:37 The two proofs are essentially the same and the first doesn't use arithmetic, but rather field axioms. I wouldn't use $\frac{1}{x}$, but that's more cosmetic than substantial. More substantial is that you don't need to appeal to commutativity: \begin{align} y &=1y &&\text{(multiplicative identity)} \\ &=(x^{-1}x)y &&\text{($x\ne0$ has an inverse)} \\ &=x^{-1}(xy) &&\text{(associativity)} \\ &=x^{-1}(xz) &&\text{(hypothesis)} \\ &=(x^{-1}x)z &&\text{(associativity)}\\ &=1z &&\text{(property of the inverse)} \\ &=z &&\text{(multiplicative identity)} \end{align} On the other hand, the other proof seems shorter \begin{align} & xy=xz &&\text{(hypothesis)} \\ & x^{-1}(xy)=x^{-1}(xz) && \text{($x\ne0$ has an inverse)} \\ & (x^{-1}x)y=(x^{-1}x)z && \text{(associativity)} \\ & 1y=1z && \text{(property of the inverse)} \\ & y=z && \text{(multiplicative identity)} \end{align} and less “rabbit out of a top hat”.

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/701918/does-this-question-have-two-answers-correct

Does this question have two answers correct? A simple pendulum (whose length is less than that of a second's pendulum) and a second's pendulum start swinging in phase. They again swing in phase after an interval of $$18$$ seconds from the start. The period of the simple pendulum is (A) $$0.9$$ sec (B) $$1.8$$ sec (C) $$2.7$$ sec (D) $$3.6$$ sec I was given a formula for such questions: $$T = \frac {T_1 T_2} {T_1-T_2} \qquad (T_1>T_2)$$ where $$T_1$$ and $$T_2$$ are the time periods of the individual pendulums, and $$T$$ is the time after which they are in phase again. I took $$T_1$$ as the seconds pendulum, i.e., $$T_1=2$$ seconds. Using the formula, I got $$T_2=1.8$$ sec, which makes sense; the timestamps for each oscillation are: $$1.8\ \ 3.6\ \ 5.4\ \ 7.2\ \ 9.0\ \ 10.8\ \ 12.6\ \ 14.4\ \ 16.8\ \ 18.0$$ seconds for simple pendulum, and $$2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18$$ seconds for seconds pendulum. None of these overlap, so if $$T_2=1.8$$, the pendulums swing in phase after intervals of $$18$$ seconds. However, I also tried option A, and got the timestamps as: $$0.9\ \ 1.8\ \ 2.7\ \ 3.6\ \ 4.5\ \ 5.4\ \ 6.3\ \ 7.2\ \ 8.1\ \ 9.0\ \ 9.9\ \ 10.8\ \ 11.7\ \ 12.6\ \ 13.5\ \ 14.4\ \ 15.3\ \ 16.2\ \ 17.1\ \ 18$$ seconds for simple pendulum, and $$2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18$$ seconds for seconds pendulum. Again, none of these overlap, so if $$T_2=0.9$$ seconds also, the pendulums swing in phase after intervals of $$18$$ seconds. According to the answer key, the answer is only B. Is A also correct, or am I missing something? The key point that's overlooked in the timestamp-counting method is that having the pendulums be in sync at the end of complete periods is not the only way for them to be in phase - they can also happen to be in phase in the middle of a period. In particular, for this example, note that after $$\frac{18}{11}$$ seconds, the $$0.9$$-second-period pendulum and the $$2$$-second-period pendulum will be $$\frac{9}{11}$$ of the way through a period (try dividing $$\frac{18}{11}$$ seconds by each of their periods and verify for yourself). By looking only at timestamps of complete periods, the timestamp-counting method misses out this point (earlier than $$18$$ seconds) where they came back in phase. I'd highlight that this means care is needed to derive the $$\frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1 - T_2}$$ formula - for example, it's not enough to just solve for the times when the pendulums have the same (angular) position, because there are many earlier times where this happens, but requiring that the pendulums are in phase is a much stronger condition. Also, one has to explicitly use the fact that we are interested in the first time they are back in phase, because it's true that the $$0.9$$-second-period pendulum and the $$2$$-second-period pendulum are in phase after $$18$$ seconds - the tricky thing is that there was an earlier time where they were already in phase. Basically, the correct way to derive that formula would be to say we are solving for the earliest time $$t$$ such that the difference between $$t/T_1$$ and $$t/T_2$$ is an integer. For the explicit derivation: the pendulums are in phase at time $$t$$ if and only if $$t/T_1 - t/T_2 = n$$ for some integer $$n$$. Solving for $$t$$ yields $$t = n \frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1 - T_2},$$ and hence we see that they are in phase whenever $$t$$ is an integer multiple of $$\frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1 - T_2}$$ (to restrict to positive $$t$$, take $$T_1 > T_2$$ and $$n>0$$ without loss of generality). In particular, the first positive $$t$$ at which this occurs is clearly when $$n=1$$, i.e. $$t=\frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1 - T_2}$$ as claimed. • Yes, this is the key. The formula gives the time for the first time they are in phase. Any period which is a submultiple of 1.8 s will be in phase after 18 s but not for the first time. – nasu Apr 3 at 20:41 Good work, but your issue is that you're taking too narrow a view of what "swinging in phase" means. To be in phase, the two pendulums simply need to be at the same point in their cycle -- meaning at the same angle and swinging in same direction. What you're doing with your timestamps approach is to identify only those instants when the two pendulums have returned exactly to their starting position at the same time. And they will definitely be in phase when they are both back at their starting positions at the same time (since the problem specified that they started off in phase), but the trick is that they could also be in phase at points before that as well. Imagine a pendulum with a period of 10 seconds, and one with a period of only 1 second: • After 1 second, P2 will have returned to its starting position, while P1 will have only traveled through 10% of its 10-second cycle. So P2 is about to catch up to P1 -- they're about to have another moment when they're in phase again (with P2 basically doing all the work). • Another 0.1 seconds after that (1.1s total), P2 will have gone from back to its starting point to 10% through its 1-second cycle, while P1 will only be 11% through its cycle • Another 0.01 seconds after that (1.11s total), P2 will be 11% through its cycle, while P1 is 11.1% through its cycle. • You can see where this is headed -- P2 will "catch" P1 for the first time at 1.111111...s (aka 10/9 seconds). You can validate that from your formula: T2*T1/(T2-T1) = 10*1/(10-1) = 10/9 = 1.11111... So these two are going to be in phase every 10/9 seconds. But they're not going to be at their starting point when they go back into phase; the first time they're in phase will be 1/9 of the way through the cycle. Do you see how that's different from what you were looking at? You were only looking for points where the two pendulums have done complete cycles and checked to see if they're in phase. Your method is equivalent to finding the smallest time period that is an integer multiple of both pendulums' periods. That will get them both in phase AND at their starting point, for the first time, but being at starting point isn't a necessary condition for being in phase. In my example, where the periods are 1s and 10s, the equivalent time (the first time they're both back in phase at the end of a complete cycle) is 10s (since for P1, 10*1 = 10 and for P2, 1*10=10). At that point, P1 has completed exactly one cycle, P2 has completed 10 cycles, and it's the 9th time (because 10/1.11... = 9) that they've been back in phase with each other. In your question, with P1 of 2s and P2 of 0.9s, the "beat frequency" (amount of time to return to phase) is = 2*0.9/(2-0.9) ~= 1.63 seconds. You correctly identify 18s as the least common multiple of the two periods. At 18s they'll both be back at their starting points and in phase, at the end of the 9th complete cycle for P1, the 20th complete cycle for P2 -- and it's the 11th time (18/1.63) that they've returned to phase with each other. With P1 of 2s and P2 of 1.8s, the "beat frequency" is 2*1.8/(2-1.8) = 18 seconds, AND the least common integer multiple of the two periods also happens to be 18s. At 18s, P1 will have completed 9 cycles, P2 will have completed 10 cycles, and it will be the first time they're back in phase together. You could argue the question is slightly ambiguous by saying "They again swing in phase after an interval of 18 seconds from the start" -- that is, it doesn't specify that "They, for the first time since the start, swing again in phase after an interval of 18 seconds from the start", but I think the "first time" part is pretty heavily implied. In your analysis with the time stamps, you deduced that either answers (a) and (b) are possibly correct. See also helloworld's answer on how you can deduce further which of these is correct by again looking closer at the phase relationship. But how you arrive at the correct answer lies in the not-so-obvious wording of the question. First, do you know what "a seconds pendulum" is? Your question reads: A simple pendulum (whose length is less than that of a second's pendulum) and a second's pendulum Note the words and a seconds pendulum. A seconds pendulum is a pendulum that has a period of precisely $$2$$ seconds. That is, one second per swing in one direction, or two seconds to complete a swing in both directions (one full period is two seconds)$$^1$$. This means with $$T_1=2\ \text{sec}$$ and with $$T=18\ \text{sec}$$ to retain an in-phase relationship, gives the only possible correct answer of $$T_2=1.8\ \text{sec}$$. The answer cannot possibly be 0.9 sec. Nor can it be the other two possibilities (c) and (d). $$^1$$From the wording of the question alone, you can deduce that the only possible answers are (a) and (b), since "the length is less than that of a second's pendulum" or less than 2 seconds, since we know that the period of a simple pendulum is proportional to $$l^{\frac 12}$$. And one could have even deduced the correct answer from this information alone. The equation you quoted is a transpose of the equation $$\frac 1T=\frac 1T_1-\frac 1T_2$$ and by adding $$\frac{1}{18}$$ and $$\frac 12$$ $$(=\frac{9}{18})$$ to each other and then just flipping the fraction to get 1.8 seconds. • I get why 1.8 seconds is an answer; I'm asking whether 0.9 seconds is also an answer or not, and if not, why not? Apr 3 at 9:52 • It can't be the correct answer because you are already told that one pendulum has a period of two seconds, then you are asked to calculate the period of the other pendulum. It's not an answer, it's the only answer. Apr 3 at 9:54 • Could you please justify that without directly using the formula? On trying it manually, $0.9$ seconds seems to work for me Apr 3 at 10:09 • I agree this answer doesn’t explain why answer a. is invalid. Another answer clarifies succinctly. Apr 3 at 21:22 • But why can there be only one possible answer? An assertion is not the same as an explanation. Apr 3 at 23:33 Let's look at the equations $$x_1(t)=\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\,t\right)\\ x_2(t)=\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\,t\right)$$ for $$~t=T~$$ is $$~x_1(T)=0~$$ only if $$~\frac {T}{T_1}=1,2,\ldots n~\quad$$ and $$~x_2(T)=0~$$ only if $$~\frac {T}{a\,T_2}=1,2,\ldots n~$$ with $$~T=\frac{T_1\,T_2}{T_1-T_2}=\frac{2*1.8}{2-1.8}=18~$$ thus $$a=1~,T_2\mapsto 1.8\quad ,n=\frac{18}{1.8}=10~\surd\\ a=\frac 12~,T_2\mapsto \frac 12*1.8=0.9\quad ,n= \frac{18*2}{0.9}=40~\surd\\ a=2~,T_2\mapsto 2*1.8=3.6\quad ,n=\frac{18}{3.6}=5~\surd$$ I don't think that you need the formula $$~T=\frac{T_1\,T_2}{T_1-T_2}~$$ . for a given period $$~T,~\frac {T}{T_1}~$$ must be integer. the period $$~T_2=\frac{T}{n}~$$ and for $$~T_2 \le T_1=2\quad \Rightarrow n\gt \frac T2$$ Example $$T=18~,n\gt 9\\ T_2=\left[\frac 95,{\frac {18}{11}},\frac 32,{\frac {18}{13}},{\frac {9}{7}},\frac 65,{\frac { 9}{8}}\,\ldots\right]$$ My goodness the other answers are woefully overcomplicating this. The question says A simple pendulum (whose length is less than that of a second's pendulum) The length of the pendulum is less than that of a second's pendulum. Therefore it will swing faster, therefore it will have a shorter period than $$1s$$. Only one answer has a period less than $$1s$$. More generally, equate $$18$$ swings of the 'second's pendulum' with some integer number of swings of the other pendulum: $$18 s = n T$$ It is generally assumed, by the wording, that they were in sync only after $$18s$$ and no sooner than that. In this case, it must be that $$\gcd(18,n) = 1.$$ You're also told that the simple pendulum is shorter than the second's pendulum. Therefore it swings faster, with shorter period, and $$n>18$$. Therefore, $$n>18$$ with $$\gcd(18,n) = 1$$. The smallest valid $$n$$ is $$19$$, which implies a period of $$T = \frac{18s}{n} = \frac{18s}{19} \approx 0.947s \approx 0.9s$$ In principle the answer could also be $$n=23, 25, 29, \dots$$ . However, the question only offers one choice for $$n>18$$, i.e. $$T<1s$$, so that's the only choice. You might say that the 'second's pendulum' has a period of $$2s$$. Unless the question specifically states that a second's pendulum has a period of $$2s$$, or if you were taught this specific fact, I think it is a coincidence that the term 'second's pendulum' refers to a pendulum with a specific period of $$2s$$; common parlance would assume it would have a period of $$1s$$. If you insist on the $$2s$$, then we have $$18 \times 2s = nT$$ with $$\gcd(18,n) = 1$$ and $$n>18$$. The answers are the same, except multiplied by $$2$$. For $$n=19$$ we have $$T \approx 1.89s \not \approx 1.8s$$ For $$n=23$$ we have $$T \approx 1.57s$$ ...and subsequent choices will have a lower period $$T$$. There is one correct choice, which is $$n=41$$ which gives $$T \approx 0.88s \approx 0.9s$$ so, the answer is again A. The only correct answer is A. • No. The answer is subtle. A "seconds pendulum" has a period of two seconds, meaning either (a) or (b) are correct. And the correct answer is (b). See my answer above for a further explanation. Cheers. Apr 5 at 2:33 • @josephh I addressed this. Apr 5 at 2:35 • Did you look at this link where the seconds pendulum is explained? "Unless the question specifically states that a second's pendulum has a period of 2s" It does by mentioning it is. BTW 2 seconds means time for two full swings. Cheers. Apr 5 at 2:38 • @josephh I addressed this. Read my answer before commenting please. Using $2s$ gives the same answer $A$ anyway. Apr 5 at 2:42 • Under the interpretation that the seconds pendulum has a 1s period, observe that a T1=0.9s pendulum and T2=1s pendulum are already in phase at 9s, so that isn't the right answer. Under the interpretation that it has a 2s period, a T1=0.9s pendulum and T2=2s pendulum are already in phase at 18/11s, so that's also not correct. Apr 8 at 1:22

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/MOD

# Documentation/Calc Functions/MOD Other languages: English • ‎Nederlands • ‎dansk • ‎español • ‎עברית MOD Mathematical ## Summary: Calculates the remainder when one number (the dividend or numerator) is divided by another number (the divisor or denominator). This is known as the modulo operation. Often the dividend and divisor will be integer values (Euclidean division). However, MOD accepts and processes real numbers with non-zero fractional parts. ## Syntax: MOD(Dividend; Divisor) ## Returns: Returns a real number that is the remainder when one number is divided by another number. The value returned has the same sign as the divisor. ## Arguments: Dividend is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the dividend of the divide operation. Divisor is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the divisor of the divide operation. • If either Dividend or Divisor is non-numeric, then MOD reports a #VALUE! error. • If Divisor is equal to 0, then MOD reports a #DIV/0! error. • For real x and y (y <>0), MOD implements the following formula: $\displaystyle{ \text{MOD}(x,y)~=~x-\left(y\times \text{INT} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)\right) }$ The INT function always rounds down (toward -∞) and returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number. This means that when the dividend and divisor have different signs, MOD may produce results that appear counterintuitive. For example, the formula =MOD(7, -3) returns -2; this is because the fraction $\displaystyle{ \left(\frac{7}{-3}\right) }$ is rounded to -3 by the INT function. • For more general information about the modulo operation, visit Wikipedia’s Modulo operation page. ## Examples: Formula Description Returns =MOD(11; 3) Here the function returns the remainder when 11 is divided by 3. The returned value has the same sign as the divisor, which is positive in this example. 2 =MOD(-11; 3) Here the function returns the remainder when -11 is divided by 3. The returned value has the same sign as the divisor, which is positive in this example. Note the counterintuitive value produced when the dividend and divisor have different signs. 1 =MOD(11; -3) Here the function returns the remainder when 11 is divided by -3. The returned value has the same sign as the divisor, which is negative in this example. Note the counterintuitive value produced when the dividend and divisor have different signs. -1 =MOD(-11; -3) Here the function returns the remainder when -11 is divided by -3. The returned value has the same sign as the divisor, which is negative in this example. -2 =MOD(D1; D2) where cells D1 and D2 contain the numbers 11.25 and 2.5 respectively. Here the function returns the remainder when 11.25 is divided by 2.5. The returned value has the same sign as the divisor, which is positive in this example. 1.25 MOD

Matrix addition and subtraction, where defined (that is, where the matrices are the same size so addition and subtraction make sense), can be turned into homework problems. 13. Use properties of linear transformations to solve problems. A scalar is a number, not a matrix. If we take transpose of transpose matrix, the matrix obtained is equal to the original matrix. A diagonal matrix is called the identity matrix if the elements on its main diagonal are all equal to $$1.$$ (All other elements are zero). PROPERTIES OF MATRIX ADDITION PRACTICE WORKSHEET. A B _____ Commutative property of addition 2. In a triangular matrix, the determinant is equal to the product of the diagonal elements. Then we have the following properties. The order of the matrices must be the same; Subtract corresponding elements; Matrix subtraction is not commutative (neither is subtraction of real numbers) Matrix subtraction is not associative (neither is subtraction of real numbers) Scalar Multiplication. In that case elimination will give us a row of zeros and property 6 gives us the conclusion we want. Laplace’s Formula and the Adjugate Matrix. Mathematical systems satisfying these four conditions are known as Abelian groups. Properties of Matrix Addition: Theorem 1.1Let A, B, and C be m×nmatrices.

This tutorial uses the Commutative Property of Addition and an example to explain the Commutative Property of Matrix Addition. Properties of Transpose of a Matrix. This property is known as reflection property of determinants. This means if you add 2 + 1 to get 3, you can also add 1 + 2 to get 3. Reflection Property. Properties of scalar multiplication. This tutorial introduces you to the Identity Property of Matrix Addition. To find the transpose of a matrix, we change the rows into columns and columns into rows. The inverse of 3 x 3 matrix with determinants and adjugate . This matrix is often written simply as $$I$$, and is special in that it acts like 1 in matrix multiplication. Matrix Multiplication - General Case. Let A, B, and C be three matrices. (i) A + B = B + A [Commutative property of matrix addition] (ii) A + (B + C) = (A + B) +C [Associative property of matrix addition] (iii) ( pq)A = p(qA) [Associative property of scalar multiplication] As with the commutative property, examples of operations that are associative include the addition and multiplication of real numbers, integers, and rational numbers. We state them now. Then the following properties hold: a) A+B= B+A(commutativity of matrix addition) b) A+(B+C) = (A+B)+C (associativity of matrix addition) c) There is a unique matrix O such that A+ O= Afor any m× nmatrix A. 11. Matrices rarely commute even if AB and BA are both defined. There are 10 important properties of determinants that are widely used. The commutative property of addition means the order in which the numbers are added does not matter. Unlike matrix addition, the properties of multiplication of real numbers do not all generalize to matrices. Question 3 : then find the additive inverse of A. If A is an n×m matrix and O is a m×k zero-matrix, then we have: AO = O Note that AO is the n×k zero-matrix. A+B = B+A 2. Matrix Matrix Multiplication 11:09. Properties involving Multiplication.

The matrix O is called the zero matrix and serves as the additiveidentity for the set of m×nmatrices. If you built a random matrix and took its determinant, how likely would it be that you got zero? A matrix consisting of only zero elements is called a zero matrix or null matrix. Properties of matrix addition. Selecting row 1 of this matrix will simplify the process because it contains a zero. Note that we cannot use elimination to get a diagonal matrix if one of the di is zero. Matrix addition is associative; Subtraction. However, unlike the commutative property, the associative property can also apply to matrix … 17. When the number of columns of the first matrix is the same as the number of rows in the second matrix then matrix multiplication can be performed. Let A, B, C be m ×n matrices and p and q be two non-zero scalars (numbers). Property 1 completes the argument. Given the matrix D we select any row or column. Let A, B, and C be mxn matrices. the identity matrix. We have 1. This project was created with Explain Everything™ Interactive Whiteboard for iPad. We can also say that the determinant of the matrix and its transpose are equal. Matrix multiplication is really useful, since you can pack a lot of computation into just one matrix multiplication operation. So if n is different from m, the two zero-matrices are different. ... although it is associative and is distributive over matrix addition. Proposition (commutative property) Matrix addition is commutative, that is, for any matrices and and such that the above additions are meaningfully defined. If the rows of the matrix are converted into columns and columns into rows, then the determinant remains unchanged. In this lesson, we will look at this property and some other important idea associated with identity matrices. The identity matrices (which are the square matrices whose entries are zero outside of the main diagonal and 1 on the main diagonal) are identity elements of the matrix product.

The required decomposition has already been provided; what you then find is that terms cancel out everywhere. – Parcly Taxel May 14 '17 at 11:39 • Try to expand a bit and observe the telescoping : $$\frac{1}{1\cdot 2} + \frac{1}{2\cdot 3} + \frac{1}{3\cdot 4} = (\frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) + (\frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{4})$$ – Zubzub May 14 '17 at 11:44 $\frac{1}{1*2}+\frac{1}{2*3}+ ... +\frac{1}{38*39}+\frac{1}{39*40}=\\ (\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2})+(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3})+...+(\frac{1}{38}-\frac{1}{39})+(\frac{1}{39}-\frac{1}{40})=\\ \frac{1}{1}+(-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2})-\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{38}+(-\frac{1}{39}+\frac{1}{39})-\frac{1}{40}=\\ \frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{40}$ Can you see that all terms except for the first and last term cancel? Since each and every term will be canceled out except $1$ and $-\dfrac{1}{40}$ So, the answer is $$1-\frac{1}{40}=\frac{39}{40}$$

Thanks to that question, I’ve been able to solve some of the form $1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \cdots + \frac{1}{n} \leq \frac{n}{2} + 1$. Now, I was presented this, for $n \ge 4$: $$2^n<n!$$ I tried to do it with similar logic as the one suggested there. This is what I did: Prove it for $n = 4$: $$2^4 = 16$$ $$4! = 1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4 = 24$$ $$16 < 24$$ Assume the following: $$2^n<n!$$ We want to prove the following for $n+1$: $$2^{n+1}<(n+1)!$$ This is how I proved it: • So first we take $2^{n+1}$ which is equivalent to $2^n\cdot2$ • By our assumption, we know that $2^n\cdot2 < n!\cdot2$ • This is because I just multiplied by $2$ on both sides. • Then we’ll be finished if we can show that $n! \cdot 2 < (n+1)!$ • Which is equivalent to saying $n!\cdot2<n!\cdot(n+1)$ • Since both sides have $n!$, I can cancel them out • Now I have $2<(n+1)!$ • This is clearly true, since $n \ge 4$ Even though the procedure seems to be right, I wonder: • In the last step, was it ok to conclude with $2<(n+1)!$? Was there not anything else I could have done to make the proof more “careful”? • Is this whole procedure valid at all? I ask because, well, I don’t really know if it would be accepted in a test. • Are there any points I could improve? Anything I could have missed? This is kind of the first time I try to do these. #### Solutions Collecting From Web of "Is this induction procedure correct? ($2^n<n!$)" Yes, the procedure is correct. If you want to write this more like the sort of mathematical proof that would be found in a textbook, you might want to make some tweaks. For example, the base case could be re-written as follows: When $n = 4$, we have $2^4 = 16 < 24 = 4!$ Next, the inductive hypothesis and the subsequent manipulations: Suppose that for $n \geq 4$ we have $2^n < n!$ Thus, $2^{n+1} < 2 \cdot n! < (n+1)!$, where the first inequality follows by multiplying both sides of the inequality in our IH by $2$, and the second follows by observing that $2 < n+1$ when $n \geq 4$. Therefore, by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, $2^n < n!$ for all integers $n \geq 4$. Q.E.D. Note: I am not making a judgment about whether your write-up or the one I have included here is “better.” I’m only observing that the language and format differ, particularly with regard to proofs that are written in paragraph form (typical of math papers) rather than with a sequence of bullet-points (which is what you had).

http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/801505/shall-remainder-always-be-positive

Shall remainder always be positive? My cousin in grade 10, was told by his teacher that remainders are never negative. In a specific example, $$-48\mod{5} = 2$$ I kinda agree. But my grandpa insists that $$-48 \mod{5} = -3$$ Which is true? Why? - $2$ and $-3$ are just two names for the same element in $\mathbb{Z}_5$, i.e. $2 \equiv -3 \mod 5$ – mm-aops May 19 '14 at 13:04 There are various conventions in use, e.g. see the links in this answer. – Bill Dubuque May 19 '14 at 13:08 Python and Ruby say it's 2; C, C#, and Java say it's -3. You could also say it's -8, 7, 12, etc. All are correct. The question is, which do you want? – Tim S. May 19 '14 at 14:00 Who says that remainder and modulus are the same thing? I was taught differently, and the people who developed the Ada programming language apparently thought so, as well. – O. R. Mapper May 19 '14 at 17:36 @John: C++ specification explicitly says (§5.6/4) that / must round towards zero and (a/b)*b + a%b must be equal to a. Which has just one solution, namely that a%b has the same sign as a (unless it is 0). Nothing implementation-defined here. – Jan Hudec May 20 '14 at 21:56 The first one is saying that $-48$ is $2$ more than a multiple of $5$. This is true. The second one is saying that $-48$ is $3$ less than a multiple of $5$. This is also true. - Who says short answers are short? – Awal Garg May 20 '14 at 11:42 @AwalGarg I do. Axiomatically. – Cruncher May 20 '14 at 14:10 But what about the division? Would the division with module 2 be -48/5 = 10 remainder 2 ? – Pieter B May 21 '14 at 10:09 @PieterB -48/5 = -10 remainder 2 if you like, but it could also equal -9 remainder -3. – Jack M May 21 '14 at 10:14 The teacher is within his/her authority to define remainders to be numbers $r$, $0\leq r < d$ where $d$ is the divisor. This is just a systematic choice so that all students can apply the same rule and arrive at the same anwer, but the rule is only a convention, not a "truth." The teacher isn't wrong to define remainders that way, but it would be wrong for the teacher to insist that there is no other way to define a remainder. And, anyhow, what your grandpa says is also perfectly true :) I imagine that ordinary long division is taught with this remainder rule because it makes converting fractions to decimals smoother when students do it later. Another reason is probably that mixed fraction notation (as far as I know) makes no allowance for negatives in the fraction. What I mean is that $1+\frac23=2-\frac13$, but the mixed fraction $1\frac23$ is not usually written as $2\frac{-1}{3}$, although one could make an argument that it makes just as much sense. As far as modular arithmetic is concerned, you really want to have the flexibility to switch between these numbers, and insisting on doing computations with the positive version all the time would be hamstringing yourself. Consider the problem of computing $1445^{99}\pmod{1446}$. It should not be necessary to compute powers and remainders of powers of $1445$ when you can just note that $1445=-1\pmod{1446}$, and then $1445^{99}=(-1)^{99}=-1=1445\pmod{1446}$ - But $(-48) / 5$ as a mixed numeral is $-9 \frac 35$ meaning $-(9 + \frac 35) = -9 - \frac 35$, which lines up more with Grandpa's way than with Teacher's way. – aschepler May 20 '14 at 19:48 The answer depends on whether you want to talk about modular arithmetic or remainders. These two perspectives are closely related, but different. In modular arithmetic, $2\equiv -3 \pmod 5$, so both answers are correct. This is the perspective most answers here have taken. In the division algorithm, though, where remainders are defined, in order to guarantee uniqueness, you need a specific range for the remainder -- when dividing integer $a$ by integer $d$, you get $a=qd+r$, and the integers $q$ and $r$ are unique if $0\leq r<d$ (note that this also places a restriction that $d$ be positive). There are other ways you could set up the condition, but you need some similar range in order to guarantee uniqueness, and this range is the simplest and most common, so in this sense, a negative remainder doesn't work. - Excellent answer. The point is that we often want uniqueness of $q$ and $r$, which is guaranteed by requiring $0\leq r < d$. Without this condition, there are $infinitely$ many possible "remainders". – ChocolateAndCheese May 19 '14 at 19:57 @Chocolate: And it's worth noting that other normalizations are possible: sometimes you want $d/2 \leq r < d/2$. Other settings want $0 \leq |r| < d$, but for $rd \geq 0$. Or maybe $rn \geq 0$ or even $rnd \geq 0$. – Hurkyl May 20 '14 at 8:59 We indeed often want uniqueness of $q$ and $r$. But long division algorithm is only practical if $q$ is rounded towards zero (truncated) and that leads to negative (non-positive) remainder for negative numerator. But Euclidean division defines remainder as positive (non-negative). So either definition is sometimes needed with division as well. – Jan Hudec May 21 '14 at 4:57 When -48 is divided by 5 the division algorithm tells us that there is a "unique" reminder r satisfying $0\leq r<5$. In that case there is only one possibility, namely $r=2$. - The division algorithm is defined on natural numbers, isn't it? Or I may be mistaken – Cheeku May 19 '14 at 13:30 I think it's usually defined for any integer numerator and any positive integer denominator. – poolpt May 19 '14 at 15:32 Negative denominator is not a problem. But long division needs negative remainders when numerator is negative. – Jan Hudec May 21 '14 at 4:52 Here is a different perspective which is more technical but is also reflected e.g. in Hardy and Wright. On the whole it is best to regard the expression $"-48 \mod 5"$ on its own as representing the set of numbers $a:a\equiv -48 \mod 5$, so it isn't equal to a number at all, but to a set. [Technically it is a coset in $\mathbb Z$ of the ideal generated by $5$, and consists of the numbers $-48 + 5 b$, where $b$ is an arbitrary integer]. Quite often it is useful to work with numbers rather than sets, and we choose a representative element of the set to work with. There are different ways in which this can be done (least positive, smallest absolute value etc). In this case $2$ and $-3$ are members of the set and could be used to represent it. - Maybe the teacher was thinking about Euclidean division, which states: Given two integers a and b, with b ≠ 0, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r < |b|, where |b| denotes the absolute value of b We indeed have the remainder ("r") being positive in this case, but if we talk strictly about congruences the grandpa's expression as well as the teacher's are both true. - For integers $a,b,c$ the following statements are equivalent: 1) $a\equiv b\text{ mod }c$ 2) $a+c\mathbb{Z}=b+c\mathbb{Z}$ 3) $c\mid a-b$ Note that $5\mid-48-2=-50$ and $5\mid-48-\left(-3\right)=-45$. - By convention, for a division $\frac{a}{b}=c$, if we are looking for a whole integer for $c$ (with no further stipulations) , the rounding method is towards zero. If $a<0$ and $b>0$, this means that in the equation $\frac{a}{b}=c+\frac{r}{b}$, $r$ must be $\leq 0$. Also remainders and modulus are two different things. - This question touches parts of my old message Algebraic abstractions related to (big) integers in C++ on the boost developers mailing list. Why should "modulo" be identical to "remainder"? Having a "remainder" function such that "r=remainder(a,m)" satisfies "0 <= r < m" is something convenient to have in a programming language. The quoted message presents some evidence that a "sremainder" function such that "s=sremainder(a,m)" satisfies "-m/2 <= s < m/2" would also be a good idea. The meaning of modulo and modular arithmetic is not directly addressed by these considerations. - For variety, I want to point out that when doing division with remainder (as opposed to, e.g., modular arithmetic), there is sometimes utility in having "improper" results; e.g. saying $17 / 5$ is $2$ with remainder $7$. An example where this would be useful is if you just need a value that is close to the correct quotient, and you can compute something close (and the appropriate remainder) relatively more easily. -

# Finding $\int \sec^2 x \tan x \, dx$, I get $\frac12\sec^2x+C$, but an online calculator gets $\frac12\tan^2x+C$. I tried to find a generic antiderivative for $$\displaystyle \int \sec^2x \tan x \mathop{dx}$$ but I think there is something wrong with my solution because it doesn't match what I got through an online calculator. What am I doing wrong? Below is my solution. We will use substitution: $$u = \sec x \qquad du = \sec x \tan x \, dx$$ We substitute and apply the power rule: $$\int (\sec x) (\sec x \tan x \, dx) = \int u \, du = \frac{1}{2} u^2 + C = \frac{\sec^2x}{2} + C$$ The solution I found with the online calculator is: $$\frac{\tan ^2 x}{2} + C$$ The steps in the online solution make sense also, so I'm not sure what's going on. The one thing I have some doubts about is whether I derived the $$du$$ from $$u = \sec x$$ correctly. But it seems okay to me. I used implicit differentiation with $$x$$. • $\sec^2{(x)}=1+\tan^2{(x)}=\tan^2{(x)}+C$ hence these functions differ by a constant... – Peter Foreman Jul 23 at 18:23 • What happens if you try $u=\tan \theta?$ – Chris Leary Jul 23 at 18:25 $$\frac{\sec^{2}(x)}{2} + C = \frac{1+\tan^{2}(x)}{2} + C = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\tan^{2}(x)}{2} + C$$ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ is just another constant, in indefinite integral constant doesn't really matter unless you're asked for the integrand original function so you can just kind of "combine" $$\frac{1}{2}$$ into C, you can also differentiate the answer to know that there's nothing wrong at all with your answer The difference between your answer and the answer given is that they differ by a constant value. You can see this by using the identity $$1+\tan^2(x) = \sec^2(x)$$ Hence your answer can be converted to the given answer by subtracting $$-1/2$$, which is a constant. As mentioned in the comments and in another answer you can also directly get the form in the answer by using the substitution $$u = \tan x$$ • I modified your answer a bit to use MathJax. Going forward, please use MathJax for mathematical typesetting for ease of readability. Good answer though! – Cameron Williams Jul 23 at 18:29 • Thanks for editing the expressions – StackUpPhysics Jul 23 at 18:29 Try differentiating both of them and see that nothing has gone wrong at all. Let $$u = \tan x$$. Then $$du = \sec^{2} x dx$$. Hence, the integral becomes $$\int u du = \frac{u^{2}}{2} + C = \frac{\tan^{2}x}{2} + C.$$

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2764985/intuition-for-why-the-difference-between-frac2x2-xx2-x1-and-fracx-2/2765019

# Intuition for why the difference between $\frac{2x^2-x}{x^2-x+1}$ and $\frac{x-2}{x^2-x+1}$ is a constant? Why is the difference between these two functions a constant? $$f(x)=\frac{2x^2-x}{x^2-x+1}$$ $$g(x)=\frac{x-2}{x^2-x+1}$$ Since the denominators are equal and the numerators differ in degree I would never have thought the difference of these functions would be a constant. Of course I can calculate it is true: the difference is $2$, but my intuition is still completely off here. So, who can provide some intuitive explanation of what is going on here? Perhaps using a graph of some kind that shows what's special in this particular case? Thanks! BACKGROUND: The background of this question is that I tried to find this integral: $$\int\frac{x dx}{(x^2-x+1)^2}$$ As a solution I found: $$\frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}}\arctan\left(\frac{2x-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+\frac{2x^2-x}{3\left(x^2-x+1\right)}+C$$ Whereas my calculusbook gave as the solution: $$\frac{2}{3\sqrt{3}}\arctan\left(\frac{2x-1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+\frac{x-2}{3\left(x^2-x+1\right)}+C$$ I thought I made a mistake but as it turned out, their difference was constant, so both are valid solutions. • Did you actually graph both functions? That would tell a lot May 3, 2018 at 14:26 • @imranfat desmos.com/calculator/njhbjs54rv. Looks strangely like $2$ to me. Did you actually graph both functions? May 3, 2018 at 14:31 • @Oldboy Actually, it is. May 3, 2018 at 14:31 • It doesn't matter that the numerators have different degrees. What matters is that their difference is a multiple of the denominator. – user856 May 3, 2018 at 16:14 • Fascinating background: at face value, I would wager that a lot of instructors would mark your answer wrong without paying much attention to how you got to it - and that most students wouldn't know to ask for a review. It is not obvious that they are both valid. I'd love to hear from educators here how would they approach this. May 4, 2018 at 0:23 Would you be surprised that the difference of $\dfrac{2x^2+x+1}{x^2}$ and $\dfrac{x+1}{x^2}$ is $2$? • Not sure who is responsible for that "from review". This actually provides more of an answer to the question asked than the majority of the posts (though there are others that do better). May 3, 2018 at 18:14 • It absolutely does provide an answer to the question, and what's more it's a good answer. It gives a simpler example of the phenomenon which the OP requests intuition for, and the intuition is easier to obtain in this simpler example. May 3, 2018 at 18:27 • @JamesMartin: Indeed. How about: Would you be surprised that the difference of $\frac{1234}{5}$ and $\frac{234}{5}$ is $200$? May 4, 2018 at 11:26 • Yes, this is still surprising. It is roughly equally as surprising as the difference in the original question (to me anyways). May 4, 2018 at 21:21 • @Nova Often repeating a question with slightly different values IS the best answer. Countless times I have done this with students with great success, because it can relate a situation that the student already has intuition for to the one that they are stumped on. Maybe this answer doesn’t work for some, but that doesn’t inherently make it a bad answer. May 6, 2018 at 7:30 It is just a bit of clever disguise. Take any polynomial $p(x)$ with leading term $a_n x^n$. Now consider $$\frac{p(x)}{p(x)}$$ This is clearly the constant $1$ (except at zeroes of $p(x)$). Now separate the leading term: $$\frac{a_n x^n}{p(x)} + \frac{p(x) - a_n x^n}{p(x)}$$ and re-write to create the difference: $$\frac{a_n x^n}{p(x)} - \frac{a_n x^n - p(x)}{p(x)}$$ Obviously the same thing and hence obviously still $1$ but the first has a degree $n$ polynomial as its numerator and the second a degree $n - 1$ or less polynomial. Similarly, you could split $p(x)$ in many other ways. I'm not sure anyone is speaking to your observation that the two numerators have different degrees. Let's flip this around the other way: \begin{align*} \frac{x-2}{x^2-x+1} + 2 &= \frac{x-2}{x^2-x+1} + 2\frac{x^2-x+1}{x^2-x+1} \\ &= \frac{2x^2 -x}{x^2-x+1} \text{.} \end{align*} That is, we started with a thing having a linear numerator and added a constant to it. But when we brought the constant to have a common denominator, it picked up a degree two factor. Then the addition was forced to produce a degree two sum. To sum up, in the context of rational functions, when you add constants, you are adding polynomials having the degree of the denominator to the polynomials in the numerators. So constants effectively have "degree two in the numerator" in your example. • +1 for this > "Constants effectively have "degree two in the numerator" in your example." May 4, 2018 at 14:20 • This deserves a lot more upvotes for the "degree two in the numerator" note. It reconciles intuition to the raw result. May 5, 2018 at 15:09 • A further +1 for "To sum up". May 10, 2018 at 5:34 Look at it in reverse: Take a polynomial fraction and add it to a constant. The result will be a polynomial fraction, with the same denominator and a different polynomial as the numerator. This belongs to a specific set of questions "you cannot really answer to your students" if you are a teacher. The difference is $2=\frac{2(x^2-x+1)}{x^2-x+1}$. This is why this seems weird (but true). Even this seems weird: $$\frac{15}{7}-\frac{1}{7}=2$$ The numerators differ by 14 (not 2) but the denominators are equal. The best is to try and explain this to yourself why this perfectly fine. Note that in general given a rational function $$f(x)=\frac{p(x)}{q(x)}\implies g(x)=f(x)+c=\frac{p(x)+c\cdot q(x)}{q(x)}$$ and $\deg(p(x)+c\cdot q(x))\le \max\{\deg(p(x)),\deg(q(x))\}$. • Why? Where is "the difference"? May 5, 2018 at 5:59 • @RolazaroAzeveires It is just a generalized way to see that two rational function can differ for a constant c even if denominators are equal and the numerators differ in degree, that's exactly the point of the OP. – user May 5, 2018 at 6:44 • I think it is just a matter of preference, from my point of view this observation suffices to answer the OP completely and maybe also the upvoters have the same idea. There are many other answers here with concrete examples and discussion so the asker have a lot of points on view on that and you also are free to add your own answer according to your best interpretation. Thanks anyway for your advice and suggestions on that. Bye! – user May 6, 2018 at 11:13 $$(2x^2-x)-(x-2)=2x^2-2x+2$$ Hence$$f(x)-g(x)=2\bigg(\frac{x^2-x+1}{x^2-x+1}\bigg)=2(1)=2$$ In effect, this pair of equations is a very specific case where the numerator and denominator end up lining up, and thus you get a constant for all values. • What kind of an answer is this? He already knows that. May 3, 2018 at 14:31 Since the denominators are equal and the numerators differ in degree I would never have thought the difference of these functions would be a constant. When the numerators differ in degree, the difference between the numerators is a nontrivial polynomial that goes to infinity as $x\to\pm\infty$. However, nobody says that this polynomial cannot grow at the same rate as the (equal) denominators, in which case the ratio will be bounded (and in particular possibly constant). There's nothing in your observation "the denominators are equal and the numerators differ in degree" that link the denominator to either the numerators or their difference, so you have no reason to think the difference in numerators should dominate the growth of the entire fraction. • Eactly, i already wanted to provide an answer before seeing this, when $x->\infty$ the first function tends to $2$, the second tends to $0$, which are both constants and give out a cte difference, this doesn't apply when the numerator is bigger than the denom, if the denom is 1 the difference would be diverging but once you divide it by a polynomial of order 2, things change to converge. May 4, 2018 at 14:14 Maybe instead of integrating you need just differentiating. $$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{(2x^2-x)(2x-1)-(x^2-x+1)(4x-1)}{denom^2}\\ =\frac{x^2-4x+1}{denom^2}$$ In the other hand: $$\frac{dg}{dx}=\frac{(x-2)(2x-1)-(x^2-x+1)}{denom^2}\\ \ =\frac{x^2-4x+1}{denom^2}=\frac{df}{dx}$$ See that both functions have same derivates, which means they differ by the same value from $x$ to $x'$ , this only means they have a same growth rate and they have same difference all along the range of x axis. • This is something OP himself did. He was solving an integral and found an alternate answer $g$. Since $f$ and $g$ are solutions to the same integral, they defer by a constant just like you demonstrate here. OP is asking for an intuition why the two rational functions defer by only a constant. May 6, 2018 at 6:03 • What do you intend to do with a primitive, why at all one think to ascend to an integral? one function may be integrated in an infinitely many ways but what's the point ? look in the op's post that he already found two functions completely different, you are missing the point. The intuition is clear, you shouldn't compare the numerator unconsiderably of the rest of the function, you should take it all into account, for example $f$ and $g$ are mutually excluding eachother in a derivate of the form $f+g$, but they are mutual-inclusive in $f/g$. Appearence is deceiving. May 6, 2018 at 12:46 You can construct a similar puzzle from the (simpler) observation that $$\frac{x}{x+1} + \frac{1}{x+1} = 1 .$$ Translating, that's the same as $$\frac{u-1}{u} + \frac{1}{u} = 1$$ which isn't surprising at all. • Yes, but in my example the degrees of the numerators are different, which caught me off guard May 3, 2018 at 14:34 • The degrees are different in my example too. But I agree that yours is at first surprising. Note: this kind of rational function identity is useful sometimes when calculus instructors want to make up problems that look harder than they are. May 3, 2018 at 14:35 Another way of stating what everyone has said: $2x^2 - x= 2(x^2-x+1) + x - 2$ $\Rightarrow 2x^2-x = x-2 \mod x^2-x+1$ Because if $P\ and\ Q\ are\ polynomials$ then, $$\deg \left( P\pm Q \right)\le max\left( \deg \left( P \right),\deg \left( Q \right) \right)$$ where $deg$ is the degree of the polynomial. See this link Here's another view on the problem: Let's look at the fraction with the higher degree: $$f(x)=\frac{2x^2-x}{x^2-x+1}$$ We note that the degree of the numerator is the same as the one of the denominator. Now whenever the numerator's degree is at least as large as the denominator's degree, we can do polynomial division. The result is a polynomial whose degree is the difference between the numerator's and the denominator's degree, and a rest whose degree is less than the denominator's degree. Now since numerator and denominator have the same degree, the difference of the degrees is zero. But a polynomial of degree zero is a constant. And the division rest will be of lesser degree. Let's do the polynomial division explicitly: $$\begin{array}{llccl} &(2x^2-\ \ x) & / & (x^2-x+1) &=& 2\\ -&\underline{(2x^2-2x+2)}\\ & \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x \ - 2 \end{array} %\begin{array}{rrrrcccl} %&(2x^2 & -x) & & / & (x^2-x+1) & = & 2\\ %-&(2x^2 & -2x & +2)\\ %\hline % & & x & -2 %\end{array}$$ You surely will recognize the rest as the numerator of $g(x)$ So, whenever you have a rational function whose numerator and denominator, after cancelling out, have the same non-zero degree, it is not only possible, but guaranteed that there exists another rational function with lesser degree in the numerator which differs from the original rational function only by a constant. • BTW, does anyone know how to make the horizontal line end at the end of the polynomial above? May 4, 2018 at 5:51 • @farruhota: That first option destroys the alignment between the terms, and therefore is worse than the too-long line. That second option defeats the whole purpose of writing the polynomial division in its standard form. May 4, 2018 at 6:48 • How about this: $\begin{array}{ll} &(2x^2-x) & / (x^2-x+1) = 2\\ -&\underline{(2x^2-2x+2)}\\ & x-2 \end{array}$ May 4, 2018 at 7:04 • @farruhota: Still doesn't correctly align the terms. May 4, 2018 at 7:10 • Oh well, the rest should be adjusted: $\begin{array}{ll} &(2x^2-\ \ x) & / (x^2-x+1) = 2\\ -&\underline{(2x^2-2x+2)}\\ & \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x \ - 2 \end{array}$ May 4, 2018 at 7:16 I feel that it's only natural that intuition would fail you in cases like these. If you wrote the two functions out as $$f(x)=\frac{2\left(x^2-x+1\right)+\left(x-2\right)}{x^2-x+1}$$ $$g(x)=\frac{x-2}{x^2-x+1}$$ it would be obvious that the difference between them was 2. This is the first thing you could trip over, the degree of the numerator don't actually differ by 1, they are the same. I guess if you made it a rule to divide whenever you have a rational function where the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator until it isn't, you would get consistent results. (Kinda like how you learn waaay back how $\frac{13}{7}$ is an improper fraction, because it's actually bigger than a whole number, and that you should write it as $1\frac{6}{7}$. a function $f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}$ where the degree of $P(x)$ is greater than or equal to the degree of $Q(x)$ is called an improper rational function.) But, and this might be another thing that's bugging you about this question, you can't just do that! (As my algebra teacher used to exclaim in exasperation.) You introduce a new constraint: $x^2-x+1\neq0$. Which isn't relevant if x is real, but does change things up a bit if it s a complex number. This is probably what you get when you graph the two functions $f$ and $g$. But if you allow for complex values of $x$, it can also look like this: (Sans the vertical line at x=0.5, I don't know why that is happening, probably a limitation in the graphing engine on desmos.) Not so obvious that the difference between the two is 2 in this case... Sorry, I just realized this probably doesn't answer your question on how you can reconciliate this apparent discrepancy with your intuition, but I thought explaining why it may not be that clear-cut would help at least a little bit. Playing with the parameters used in the graph might help further your understanding, here's a link to the interactive graph, with a little more in depth graphical interpretation of why you might doubt what you logically "know" to be true. As for the equations I used in place of the given ones... You'll just have to trust my algebra (which you shouldn't in critical situations, but I think this is safe enough hehe). I did them on a legal pad, but I'll type them up if anyone insists. Since the denominator is the same , you subtract one numerator from the other. In this special case you find the resultant numerator is twice the denominator. Feels like that was much simpler than the rest of your background calculus. It must be very clear to you that $11/3$ and $2/3$ defer by an integer. Why is this so? Because in the world $$modulo 3$"$, 11 and 2 are but the same. In the same vein, we can say that in the world of $$modulo $x^2-x+1"$, $2x^2-x$ and $x-2$ are but the same because $2x^2-x=2(x^2-x+1)+x-2$. When we are in such a world, the same polynomial may appear in different forms with different "degrees". So in a world such as the ideal generated by $x^2-x+1$ (ie $<x^2-x+1>$ ), degree is no longer retained. One's intuition may fail here because one is not familiar with such a world where degree is not so well behaved. • The question is not about constants; it is about degree. $\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+2}$ and $\frac{-2x+1}{x^2+2}$ also defer by a constant (polynomial) May 6, 2018 at 6:11

# Thread: [SOLVED] Finding Co-Ordinates of a Rectangle 1. ## [SOLVED] Finding Co-Ordinates of a Rectangle Here's a question from a past paper which I have successfully attempted. My question is regarding part (iii). I have successfully figured out the co-ordinates by the following method: Is my method correct, considering I did get the right answer? But is there another simpler method to do this which would save time during an exam. 2. The diagonals bisect one another. The midpoint of $\displaystyle \overline{AC}$ is ? 3. Mid of AC is (6,6), the diagnols do bisect each other at the mid but we don't have the x-co-ordinates of B or D to equate the diagnols, or do we? 4. Originally Posted by unstopabl3 Mid of AC is (6,6), the diagnols do bisect each other at the mid but we don't have the x-co-ordinates of B or D to equate the diagnols, or do we? But the y-coordinate of $\displaystyle B~\&~D$ is 6. You are given the x-coordinate of $\displaystyle D$, so $\displaystyle Dh,6)$ 5. No, I meant real value of the x-co-ordinates has not been given since we have to calculate that ourselves. I have already gotten the correct values by using the method mentioned in my first post. As stated I want someone to solve this part of the question with a different, possibly easier method. I am not after the answer, I am looking for an alternate method. 6. Originally Posted by unstopabl3 No, I meant real value of the x-co-ordinates has not been given since we have to calculate that ourselves. I have already gotten the correct values by using the method mentioned in my first post. As stated I want someone to solve this part of the question with a different, possibly easier method. I am not after the answer, I am looking for an alternate method. Hi unstopabl3, I really don't see what method you used in your first post, but here's how I'd do it. Plato already told you that the midpoint of BD is M(6, 6). This means the y-coordinates of B and D are also 6. This distance from B to D is 20 (found using distance formula) Each individual segment of the diagonals measure 10 since they are bisected. Using the distance formula, it is easy to determine the x-coordinates of B and D. M(6, 6) -----> D(h, 6) = 10 $\displaystyle 10=\sqrt{h-6)^2+(6-6)^2}$ 7. Hello, unstopabl3! Code: | C(12,14) | o | * * | * * * * B o - + - - - - - - - o D * | * ------*-+-------*------------ *| * o A|(0,-2) | The diagram shows a rectangle $\displaystyle ABCD.$ We have: .$\displaystyle A(0,-2),\;C(12,14)$ The diagonal $\displaystyle BD$ is parallel to the $\displaystyle x$-axis. $\displaystyle (i)$ Explain why the $\displaystyle y$-coordinate of $\displaystyle D$ is 6. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. . . Hence, the midpoint of $\displaystyle AC$ is the midpoint of $\displaystyle BD.$ The midpoint of AC is: .$\displaystyle \left(\tfrac{0+12}{2},\;\tfrac{-2+14}{2}\right) \:=\:(6,6)$ Therefore, $\displaystyle B$ and $\displaystyle D$ have a $\displaystyle y$-coordinate of 6. The $\displaystyle x$-coordinate of $\displaystyle D$ is $\displaystyle h.$ $\displaystyle (ii)$ Express the gradients of $\displaystyle AD$ and $\displaystyle CD$ in terms of h,. We have: .$\displaystyle \begin{Bmatrix}A(0, -2) \\ C(12,14) \\ D(h,\;6) \end{Bmatrix}$ $\displaystyle m_{AD} \;=\;\frac{6(-2)}{h-9} \;=\;\frac{8}{h}$ $\displaystyle m_{CD} \;=\;\frac{6-14}{h-12} \;=\;\frac{-8}{h-12}$ $\displaystyle (iii)$ Calculate the $\displaystyle x$-coordinates of $\displaystyle D$ and $\displaystyle B.$ Since $\displaystyle m_{AD} \perp m_{CD}$ we have: .$\displaystyle \frac{8}{h} \;=\;\frac{h-12}{8} \quad\Rightarrow\quad h^2-12h - 64 \:=\:0$ Hence: .$\displaystyle (h+4)(h-16) \:=\:0 \quad\Rightarrow\quad h \:=\:-4,\:16$ Therefore: .$\displaystyle D(16,6),\;B(-4,6)$ 8. Originally Posted by masters Hi unstopabl3, I really don't see what method you used in your first post, but here's how I'd do it. $\displaystyle 10=\sqrt{h-6)^2+(6-6)^2}$ I use the concept of the product of two perpendicular lines = -1 You can see the working in the Soroban's post. That's exactly how I did it! This distance from B to D is 20 (found using distance formula) How did you get this with only the Y co-ordinates known for both? Did you get the distance of AC which should be equal to BD? Soroban, thanks for your post, but I've already used that method to solve this problem and already mentioned it in my first post that I am looking for alternative methods to solve it! Thanks nonetheless! 9. Originally Posted by unstopabl3 I use the concept of the product of two perpendicular lines = -1 You can see the working in the Soroban's post. That's exactly how I did it!

Soroban, thanks for your post, but I've already used that method to solve this problem and already mentioned it in my first post that I am looking for alternative methods to solve it! Thanks nonetheless! The distance BD is 20, found using the distance formula. BD = AC (diagonals of a rectangle are congruent). 10. Co ordinates of B and D are $\displaystyle (x_1 , 6) and (x_2, 6)$ Diagonal AC = BD AC = 20 = BD. Distance $\displaystyle BD^2 = (x_1 - x_2)^2$ So (x_1 - x_2) = 20...........(1) Mid point point of AC = mid point of BD $\displaystyle \frac{x_1+x_2}{2} = 6$ (x_1 + x_2) = 12......(2) Solve Eq (1) ans (2) to find the coordinates of B and D. 11. Thanks for the responses guys!

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2398684/average-number-of-selections-before-duplicate-picked

# Average number of selections before duplicate picked I have a dataset of 1296 unique codes which can be numbered 1 through 1296. If numbers are selected at random, one at a time, with replacement. On average, how many iterations will it take to select a number that has already been selected? Experimentally, (looping through the list of 1296 codes and creating a subset of selected codes using Python) it averages out at 45.875 times (this number includes the duplicate) but I would like to verify it with a calculation so any help would be appreciated. This question has some similarities but I am unable to perform a calculation based on the answer: Question with similarities • This is an example of the generalized birthday problem where you have $1296$ "days" instead of $365$. The number that gives a $50\%$ chance of a match in $d$ "days" is about $\sqrt {2d\ln 2}$, which for you is about $42.39$ – Ross Millikan Aug 19 '17 at 1:15 • @RossMillikan instead of asking for where it switches from being below a $50\%$ chance to being above a $50\%$ chance, isn't the OP asking for the expected number of draws until a match occurs? Will those two necessarily be the same? I'm getting a different result (fixed minor typo in equation) getting a result closer to $\approx 45.788$ – JMoravitz Aug 19 '17 at 1:20 • @JMoravitz: I'll reopen it. I don't know an easy approach to the expected number version, but would expect it to be close to the $50\%$ probability number. No, they won't be the same because there is the long tail to high numbers. – Ross Millikan Aug 19 '17 at 2:10 • @RossMillikan well, the pdf is straightforward (and is included in one of your two links in some form) and we can apply the definition of expected value. I don't know of a clean way to simplify the sum by hand, but computers can calculate it easily enough for us. – JMoravitz Aug 19 '17 at 2:12 It is impossible to have gotten a duplicate on the first draw. It is impossible to have not gotten a duplicate by the 1297'th draw by pigeon-hole principle. To have gotten your first duplicate on the $k$'th draw, you need the first $k-1$ draws to all be distinct and the $k$'th to be a duplicate. The first draw will always be distinct. The second will be distinct from the first with probability $\frac{1295}{1296}$. The third will be distinct from the first two with probability $\frac{1294}{1296}$ and so on... the $(n)$'th will be distinct from the earlier $n-1$ with probability $\frac{1296-n+1}{1296}$. Multiplying these, we get for $n$ draws to all be distinct, this will occur with probability $\frac{1296\frac{n}{~}}{1296^n}$ where $x\frac{n}{~}$ represents a falling factorial $x\frac{n}{~}=\underbrace{x(x-1)(x-2)\cdots (x-n+1)}_{n~\text{terms in the product}}=\frac{x!}{(x-n)!}$. Next, supposing $k-1$ distinct values have all been taken, for the $k$'th to duplicate one of the earlier results, this will occur with probability $\frac{k-1}{1296}$ We have then the probability distribution function for $X$, the number of draws until the first duplicate: $$Pr(X=k)=\frac{(k-1)1296\frac{k-1}{~}}{1296^k}$$ Applying the definition of expected value for a pdf: $E[X]=\sum\limits_{k\in\Delta} kPr(X=k)$ we have then the expected value is $$\sum\limits_{k=2}^{1297}\frac{k(k-1)1296\frac{k-1}{~}}{1296^k}\approx 45.7889$$ • As a minor aside, I was having difficulty with the link. Trying to write it as [linkname](actuallinkgoeshere) with parenthesis appearing in the link part of it was being chopped off, and replacing parenthesis with brackets was causing the calculation to time out. Tinyurl's aren't permenant... does anyone have a suggestion other than just hiding it with a spoiler tag like I have? – JMoravitz Aug 19 '17 at 2:35 With $n$ objects the expected time until the first repeat is exactly $$\mathbb{E}(T)=\int_0^\infty \left(1+{x\over n}\right)^ne^{-x}\,dx,$$ and approximately equal to $\sqrt{n\pi/2}.$ You can find a derivation of this formula at my answer here: Variance of time to find first duplicate For $n=1296$ the exact formula gives $\mathbb{E}(T)\approx 45.78885405,$ while the approximation gives $\sqrt{1296\pi/2}\approx 45.11930893.$

# Find relationship between $a, b, c, f, g, h$ Given that - $$a=a_1 a_2$$ $$b=b_1 b_2$$ $$c=c_1 c_2$$ $$h=a_2 b_1 + b_2 a_1$$ $$g=a_1 c_2 + a_2 c_1$$ $$f=b_1 c_2 + b_2 c_1$$ Find the relationship between $a, b, c, f, g, h$ My Attempt: I could not see how I could exploit the symmetry of the equations to directly get an answer, so I tried to solve them as 6 simultaneous equations by - $$a_2=\frac{a}{a_1}$$ $$b_2=\frac{b}{b_1}$$ $$c_2=\frac{c}{c_1}$$ and put these values into the remaining 3 equations to obtain - $$a_1 b_1 h = a {b_1}^2 + b {a_1}^2$$ $$a_1 c_1 g = a {c_1}^2 + c {a_1}^2$$ $$c_1 b_1 f = c {b_1}^2 + b {c_1}^2$$ Then, I treated the last 2 equations as quadratics in $a_1$ and $b_1$; found their values using the quadratic formula and input those into the first of the last 3 equations above. Then I found the value of $c_1$ using that and then the value of the remaining - $a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_2$. Then, when I finally input these values into any of the equations I got a tautology (which, as I now realize - too late - was doomed to happen from the very beginning, due to my approach). ============================================================ So, How should I go about finding the relation between $a, b, c, f, g, h$? OR, Equally - How do I eliminate $a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_1, c_2$ from the equations? I just need a hint on how I could exploit the symmetry of the equations. • What does "Find the relationship between a,b,c,f,g,h" mean exactly? One could argue that the initial six equalities already gives a relationship among them. Are you looking for a polynomial expression in a,b,c,f,g,h (and not involving the subscripted variables) that equals 0? – Greg Martin May 19 '17 at 3:36 • Hint: consider $af^2+bg^2+ch^2$. – Greg Martin May 19 '17 at 3:38 • @GregMartin Yes, you're right I need a single expression in a, b, c, f, g, h without the subscripted variables. As an example of such an expression - $\frac{c^{2}}{2a}=\frac{f^{3}}{5g^{2}} +h tan(\frac{b}{a})$ The expression could include logs and trig functions (although I don't think they will be necessary) – Quantum Sphinx May 19 '17 at 3:39 • @GregMartin Yes, that is the kind of expression I need – Quantum Sphinx May 19 '17 at 3:43 Notice that $a,b,c,h,g,f$ are represented by staggered multiplication of $a_1,a_2,b_1,b_2,c_1,c_2$, and one way to align them is to multiply them together, and then we could rearrange how they are combined together. So symmetry is the key here. $$h\cdot g \cdot f=(a_2 b_1 + b_2 a_1)(a_1 c_2 + a_2 c_1)(b_1 c_2 + b_2 c_1)$$ $$=a_2b_1a_1c_2b_1c_2 + a_2b_1a_1c_2b_2c_1+a_2b_1a_2c_1b_1c_2 + a_2b_1a_2c_1b_2c_1$$$$+b_2a_1a_1c_2b_1c_2+b_2a_1a_1c_2b_2c_1+b_2a_1a_2c_1b_1c_2+b_2a_1a_2c_1b_2c_1$$ $$=ab_1^2c_2^2+abc+a_2^2b_1^2c+a_2^2c_1^2b+a_1^2c_2^2b+a_1^2b_2^2c+abc+b_2^2c_1^2a$$ $$=2abc + a(b_1^2c_2^2+b_2^2c_1^2)+b(a_1^2c_2^2+a_2^2c_1^2) + c(a_2^2b_1^2+a_1^2b_2^2)$$ $$=2abc+a((b_1c_2 + b_2c_1)^2-2b_1c_2b_2c_1)+b((a_1c_2+a_2c_1)^2-2a_1c_2a_2c_1)+c((a_2b_1+a_1b_2)^2-2a_2b_1a_1b_2)$$ Thus $$hgf=2abc + a(f^2-2bc)+b(g^2-2ac)+c(h^2-2ab)$$ $$hgf +4abc -af^2-bg^2-ch^2=0$$

# Find the Numbers Status Not open for further replies. ##### Full Member There are two numbers whose sum is 53. Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger number. What are the numbers? Set up: Let x = large number Let y = small number x + y = 53...Equation A 3y = x + 19....Equation B x + y = 53 y = 53 - x...Plug into B. 3(53 - x) = x + 19 159 - 3x = x + 19 -3x - x = 19 - 159 -4x = -140 x = -140/-4 x = 35...Plug into A or B. I will use A. 35 + y = 53 y = 53 - 35 y = 18. The numbers are 18 and 35. Yes? #### JeffM ##### Elite Member Do the numbers satisfy both equation? $$\displaystyle 35 + 18 = 53.$$ Checks. $$\displaystyle 3 * 18 = 54 = 35 + 19.$$ Checks. In algebra, you can always check your own MECHANICAL work, and you should. It avoids mistakes, builds confidence, is a necessary skill for taking tests, and, most importantly, is what you will need in any job that expects you to be able to do math. #### Subhotosh Khan ##### Super Moderator Staff member There are two numbers whose sum is 53.

There is a shorter way to accomplish the algebra/arithmetic part.

You used substitution, and did it correctly; Khan used addition, which can take just a little less writing than what you did, but is certainly not the only correct way, or even necessarily "better". ##### Full Member Nothing is wrong with your method. You used substitution, and did it correctly; Khan used addition, which can take just a little less writing than what you did, but is certainly not the only correct way, or even necessarily "better". There are several methods for solving two equations in two variables, right? Matrix algebra is another useful tool. #### Dr.Peterson ##### Elite Member Correct. In fact, each method can be applied to a given system of equations in several ways (which makes it interesting to grade tests). You can solve either equation for either variable and substitute, or eliminate either variable from the equations by adding, then get the other variable in a couple ways. And you can solve the matrix form by several different techniques. When there are three or more variables, it gets even better! But still, solving the equations is the "easy" (routine) part, compared to setting them up from a word problem. ##### Full Member Correct.

Home > standard error > proportion standard error # Proportion Standard Error ## Contents repeatedly randomly drawn from a population, and the proportion of successes in each sample is recorded ($$\widehat{p}$$),the distribution of the sample ## Standard Error Of Proportion Formula proportions (i.e., the sampling distirbution) can be approximated by a normal standard error of proportion definition distribution given that both $$n \times p \geq 10$$ and $$n \times (1-p) \geq 10$$. This is sample proportion formula known as theRule of Sample Proportions. Note that some textbooks use a minimum of 15 instead of 10.The mean of the distribution of sample proportions is equal to the population proportion ($$p$$). The standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportions is symbolized by $$SE(\widehat{p})$$ and equals $$\sqrt{\frac {p(1-p)}{n}}$$; this is known as thestandard error of $$\widehat{p}$$. The symbol $$\sigma _{\widehat p}$$ is also used to signify the standard deviation of the distirbution of sample proportions. Standard Error of the Sample Proportion$## Sample Proportion Calculator SE(\widehat{p})= \sqrt{\frac {p(1-p)}{n}}$If $$p$$ is unknown, estimate $$p$$ using $$\widehat{p}$$The box below summarizes the rule of sample proportions: Characteristics of the Distribution of Sample ProportionsGiven both $$n \times p \geq 10$$ and $$n \times (1-p) \geq 10$$, the distribution of sample proportions will be approximately normally distributed with a mean of $$\mu_{\widehat{p}}$$ and standard deviation of $$SE(\widehat{p})$$Mean $$\mu_{\widehat{p}}=p$$Standard Deviation ("Standard Error")$$SE(\widehat{p})= \sqrt{\frac {p(1-p)}{n}}$$ 6.2.1 - Marijuana Example 6.2.2 - Video: Pennsylvania Residency Example 6.2.3 - Military Example ‹ 6.1.2 - Video: Two-Tailed Example, StatKey up 6.2.1 - Marijuana Example › Printer-friendly version Navigation Start Here!

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1457701/spectral-decomposition-of-a-and-b

# Spectral Decomposition of A and B. I was given the following question in my linear algebra course. Let $A$ be a symmetric matrix, $c >0$, and $B=cA$, find the relationship between the spectral decompositions of $A$ and $B$. From what I understand. If $A$ is a symmetric matrix, then $A=A^T$. A symmetric matrix has $n$ eigenvalues and there exist $n$ linearly independent eigenvectors (because of orthogonality) even if the eigenvalues are not distinct. Since $B=cA$ and $A=A^T$, then we can conclude that $B=cA^T$, which would imply that $B$ is also symmetric, meaning it also has a linearly independent eigenbasis. Focusing on $A$, since it has a linearly independent eigenbasis, we have $A = PD_aP^{-1}$ by Spectral decomposition where $P$ is the eigenbasis and $D_a$ is the diagonal matrix of $A$ eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ \begin{array} d D_a & = & \begin{bmatrix} \lambda_1 & & \\ &\ddots&\\ & & \lambda_i \end{bmatrix} \end{array} Now since $B=cA$, then we have $B=cPD_aP^{-1}$, which can be rewritten as $B = PD_bP^{-1}$, where \begin{array} d D_b & = & cD_a & =c\begin{bmatrix} \lambda_1 & & \\ &\ddots&\\ & & \lambda_i \end{bmatrix} & = & \begin{bmatrix} c\lambda_1 & & \\ &\ddots&\\ & & c\lambda_i \end{bmatrix} \end{array} From this I can conclude that $B$ and $A$ actually have the same linearly independent eigenbasis. Furthermore, the eigenvalues of $B$ are a scalar multiple of the eigenvalues of $A$ by a factor of $c$. Have I fully describe the relationship between $A$ and $B$? $\dfrac{\lambda}{c} I- A$ isn't invertible if and only if $\lambda I- cA$ isn't invertible. Hence, $\lambda\in Sp(cA)$ if and only if $\dfrac{\lambda}{c}\in Sp(A)$ Yes, I would say that you have fully described the relationship between $A$ and $B$.

http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/110667/why-binomial-distribution-formula-includes-the-not-happening-probability

# Why Binomial Distribution formula includes the “not-happening” probability? Suppose I have a dice with 6 sides, and I let a random variable $X$ be the number of times I get 3 points when I throw the dice. So I throw the dice for $10$ times, I want to find the probability of getting 3 points from the dice for $4$ times, ie: $P(X=4)$. Since the order doesn't matter, there are $\binom{10}{4}=210$ ways and the chance of getting a 3 point is $\frac { 1 }{ 6 }$. Also, because I want to have $4$ of such occurrence, it would be $\frac{1}{6}^4$. So, I could just calculate $P(X=4)=\binom{10}{4}\frac { 1 }{ 6 }^4 =0.027006173\approx 2.7\%$. But, suppose if I use the Binomial Distribution formula, it would be a little different because it needs to multiply the "not-happening" probability to it. The Binomial Distribution looks like this: $$P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$$ So if I plug in my values, it would be: $$P(X=4)=\binom{10}{4}(\frac{1}{6})^4(\frac{5}{6})^{6}=0.054=5.4\%$$ Here, $2.1\%$ is lesser than $5.4\%$. What's the difference between the two values? Which is the correct value? Intuitively, I find the Binomial Distribution may be more accurate since it dictates the situation to consider both the happening and not-happening outcomes. But usually, I thought we just multiply the probabilities of what we want it to happen as long as the events are independent. So the first method sounds quite okay too. Eg: What's the probability to get 2 heads out of 5 flips of a fair coin, I just use $\frac { 1}{ 2} \times \frac { 1}{ 2}$. The not-happening probabilities are not cared of. - To get exactly 4 "3 points", the other 6 throws have to not be "3 points". The other 6 throws not being 3 points is also part of what you want to happen if exactly 4 of the 10 throws are 3 points. So, you need to multiply by $(5/6)^6$. By the way, in your second displayed equation, you should have ${10\choose 4}(1/6)^4(5/6)^6$ – David Mitra Feb 18 '12 at 16:33 oh yea, thanks. It should ${10\choose 4}(1/6)^4(5/6)^6$ in the second line. Updated the equation. If I need to multiply the "not-happening" probability, then suppose if I want to find the probability of getting 2 heads out of 5 flip of a fair coin, it wouldn't it be $\binom{5}{2}{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 3 }=\binom{5}{2}{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 5 }$? But shouldn't it be just $\frac { 1}{ 2} \times \frac { 1}{ 2}$? – xenon Feb 18 '12 at 16:51 No, not just $(1/2)(1/2)$ for exactly two heads. You $need$ the other flips to not be heads; which means you multiply by $(1/2)^3$. – David Mitra Feb 18 '12 at 17:10 @xEnOn: The calculation that gave about $5.4$% is based on the correct analysis, and the calculator work is right. The first calculation, the one that gave about $2.7$%, is based on an incorrect analysis (formula). In addition, there was a calculator mistake. The wrong formula gives an answer of about $16.2$%, not $2.7$%. This is clear if you compare the two expressions. The second multiplies the first by $(5/6)^6$, which is less than $1$. – André Nicolas Feb 18 '12 at 17:18 @xEnOn : Please don't write $\frac 16 ^4$ if you mean $\left(\frac16\right)^4$. The former expression should be used only if you mean $(1^6)/4$. – Michael Hardy Feb 18 '12 at 17:53 Your first argument is a bit off. $X=4$ means exactly four of the tosses resulted in $3$-points To get exactly four $3$-points, the other six throws have to not be $3$- points. The other six throws not being $3$-points is also part of what you want to happen if exactly four of the 10 throws are $3$-points. Look at a particular case: the first four throws are 3-points and there are exactly four 3-points. Then the throw sequence was $$3\text{-pt}\ \ 3\text{-pt}\ \ 3\text{-pt}\ \ 3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \ \text{not}3\text{-pt}\ \$$ The probability of this occurring is $(1/6)^4(5/6)^6$. So, you need to multiply your proposed answer by $(5/6)^6$. So, the correct answer is what is given by the Binomial distribution: ${10\choose4}(1/6)4(5/6)6$. In your second argument (of the original post), you are correct assuming that you only drew two cards. If you drew three cards, the probability that exactly two were hearts would be $$\underbrace{{13\over52}{12\over 51}{39\over 50}}_{ \text{two hearts, then non heart}}+ \underbrace{{13\over52}{39\over 51}{12\over 50}}_{ \text{ heart, non heart, heart}}+ \underbrace{{39\over52}{13\over 51}{12\over 50}}_{ \text{ non heart, then two hearts}}$$ To be brief you do care about the "not happening" probabilities when you consider the probability that an event happens exactly $n$ times. Knowing that something does not happen is concrete information. In the die example, "not 3-pt" means that six of the flips were 1,2,4,5, or 6 points. In your coin example, if you want the probability of exactly two heads in five flips, then the three non-head flips must be tails. What is the probability of flipping $H\ H\ T\ T\ T$? It's not $1/4$... It is $1/32$, as you should be able to see from the multiplication rule for a sequence of independent events. The number of ways in which you can have exactly two heads in five flips is ${5\choose2}=10$ (it's the number of ways to choose two slots from five in which to put the two heads in; note the other three slots must be tails). The probability of exactly two heads in five flips is ${5\choose2}\cdot(1/2)^2(1/2)^3={10\over 32}={5\over16}$. To see more concretely why your argument fails, consider this simple case. Toss a fair coin three times. What is the probability of having exactly one head? By your reasoning it is $3\cdot(1/2)^1>1$; which is nonsense. Perhaps it's just $1/2$? This is incorrect also: The equally likely outcomes here are: $$HHH \ \ \ HHT \ \ \ HTT\ \ \ HTH$$ $$THH \ \ \ THT \ \ \ TTT\ \ \ TTH$$ And we see the probability of exactly one head is ${3\over8}$, which is exactly what the Binomial formuls gives: ${3\over8}={3\choose2}(1/2)^1(1/2)^2$. Incidentally, you're proposed method would not even give the probability of having at least one head. Here, that probability is $7/8$. -

# Homework Help: Give a big-O estimate of the product of the first n odd positive integers 1. Jul 17, 2011 ### pc2-brazil 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Give a big-O estimate of the product of the first n odd positive integers. 2. Relevant equations Big-O notation: f(x) is O(g(x)) if there are constants C and k such that |f(x)| ≤ C|g(x)| whenever x > k. 3. The attempt at a solution The product of the first n odd integers can be given by: $$P(n)=1\times 3\times 5\times 7\times...\times (2n-1)$$ For n > 0, no element in the above sequence will be greater than (2n-1). Thus: $$1\times 3\times 5\times 7\times...\times (2n-1)\leq (2n-1)\times (2n-1)...\times (2n-1)=(2n-1)^n$$ So: P(n) ≤ (2n-1)n whenever n > 0 I could stop here and say that P(n) is O((2n-1)n) But to simplify I think I could consider that: P(n) ≤ (2n-1)n ≤ (2n)n Thus, P(n) is O((2n)n) Is this reasoning correct? Last edited: Jul 17, 2011 2. Jul 17, 2011 ### tiny-tim hi pc2-brazil! it's correct, but it's not very accurate, is it? do you know a big-O estimate for n! ? 3. Jul 17, 2011 ### pc2-brazil A big-O estimate for n! would be O(nn). I could say that, for n > 0, $$1\times 3\times 5\times 7...\times (2n-1)\leq 1\times 2\times 3\times 4\times...\times (2n-1)=(2n-1)!\leq (2n)!=2^n n!$$ Thus, P(n) is O(2nn!). Since n! is O(nn), this estimate seems more accurate than the previous one (O(2nnn)). 4. Jul 17, 2011 ### tiny-tim Last edited by a moderator: Apr 26, 2017 5.

Note: if you want a true upper bound, rather than just an *estimate* you can use the fact that if St(n) is defined as sqrt(2pi)*n^(n + 1/2)*exp(-n), then we have St(n) <n! < St(n)*exp(1/(12n)), even if n is not large. You can use the upper bound on (2n-1)! in the numerator and the lower bound on (n-1)! in the denominator. RGV sqrt(2pi)*n

rational numbers symbol # rational numbers symbol The real line consists of the union of the rational and irrational numbers. We have seen that all counting numbers are whole numbers, all whole numbers are integers, and all integers are rational numbers. Formally, rational numbers are the set of all real numbers that can be written as a ratio of integers with nonzero denominator. The OP asked in his title only, if he can use the symbol for rational numbers. Hence, we can say that ‘0’ is also a rational number, as we can represent it in many forms such as 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, etc. In other words, most numbers are rational numbers. Answer: yes. Some examples of irrational numbers are $$\sqrt{2},\pi,\sqrt[3]{5},$$ and for example $$\pi=3,1415926535\ldots$$ comes from the relationship between the length of a circle and its diameter. Numbers that are not rational are called irrational numbers. The venn diagram below shows examples of all the different types of rational, irrational numbers including integers, whole numbers, repeating decimals and more. When we put together the rational numbers and the irrational numbers, we get the set of real numbers.

# Conditional probability exercise - apples and oranges We have two crates, crate 1 and crate 2. Crate 1 has 2 oranges and 4 apples, and crate 2 has 1 orange and 1 apple. We take 1 fruit from crate 1 and put it in crate 2, and then we take a fruit from crate 2. The first point of this exercise asks me to calculate the probability that the fruit taken from crate 2 is an orange. I did this by calculating the probability that the fruit we took from crate 1 was an orange(which is $\frac{2}{6}$) and then saying that I have 3 fruits in crate 2, $1+\frac{2}{6}$ oranges and the rest apples, which lead me to a $44.44\%$ probability that the fruit we take from crate 2 was an orange. The probability I got seems reasonable, but I don't know for sure if what I did was correct. Anyway, point 2 of this problem is a little bit harder and I'm stuck. It tells me to calculate the probability that the fruit we took from crate 1 was an orange, if we know that the fruit we took out from crate 2 was also an orange. So if I consider A: Fruit taken from crate 1 was an orange, and B: Fruit taken from crate 2 was an orange, I think I have to calculate $\:P\left(A|B\right)$ I think, which means "Probability that A happens if we know B happened", but I'm not so sure about this. Could anyone give me a hint on how to go about solving this problem? • Your answer to the first question is correct. For the second question, $$P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$$ where $A$ is the event that an orange was selected from the first crate and $B$ is the event that an orange was selected from the second crate. – N. F. Taussig Jan 29 '17 at 12:18 • But what is $P\left(A\cap B\right)$ ? I mean, I know it is the probability of the joint events, but how do I determine that? – MikhaelM Jan 29 '17 at 12:32 • It is the probability that you put an orange from the first crate into the second, and having done that then took an orange from the second . $$\mathsf P(A\cap B)= \mathsf P(A)~\mathsf P(B\mid A)$$ – Graham Kemp Jan 29 '17 at 12:34 • Doing that I get $\:P\left(A|B\right)=\frac{P\left(A\cap B\right)}{P\left(B\right)}=\frac{P\left(A\right)\cdot P\left(B|A\right)}{P\left(B\right)}=\frac{\frac{2}{6}\cdot \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{1}{2}$ so $50\%$. Is this correct or am I making a mistake somewhere? – MikhaelM Jan 29 '17 at 12:45 • The answer you obtained in your comment is correct. – N. F. Taussig Jan 29 '17 at 13:15 Let $A,B$ be the events of removing an orange from the first and second crates, respectively. You have calculated $\mathsf P(B) = 4/9$ correctly. Another way to look at it is through the law of total probability. \begin{align}\mathsf P(B) ~&=~\mathsf P(A)~\mathsf P(B\mid A)+\mathsf P(A^\complement)~\mathsf P(B\mid A^\complement) \\ &=~ \tfrac 26\cdot\tfrac 23+\tfrac 46\cdot\tfrac 13 & =&~ \frac{\tfrac 2 6+1}3 \\ &=~ \tfrac 49 \end{align} Where $\mathsf P(A)$ is the probability of taking an orange from cart 1, $\mathsf P(A^\complement)$ is that of taking an apple from cart 1, $\mathsf P(B\mid A)$ is the probability of taking a orange from cart 2 when given that you have added an orange to that cart, and $\mathsf P(B\mid A^\complement)$ is the probability of taking a orange from cart 2 when given that you have added an apple to that cart. Now you just need to calculate $\mathsf P(A\mid B)$ the probability of having taken an orange from cart 1 when given that you took an orange from cart 2. Use Bayes' Rule. Yes for second part solve P(A|B). Probability of A happens if we know B happened.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2844980/general-solution-for-a-recurrence-relation

# general solution for a recurrence relation I have the following recurrence relation: $$x_1=1, x_2=a, x_{n+2}=ax_{n+1}-x_n\hspace{1cm}(*)$$ If we assume that $x_n=r^n$ is a solution for the relation $x_{n+2}=ax_{n+1}-x_n$, then I can deduce that $r=\frac{a+\sqrt{a^2-4}}{2}$ or $r=\frac{a-\sqrt{a^2-4}}{2}$. By using the initial values $x_1=1, x_2=a$, I found that $$x_n=\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2-4}}\left(\frac{a+\sqrt{a^2-4}}{2}\right)^n-\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2-4}}\left(\frac{a-\sqrt{a^2-4}}{2}\right)^n$$ is a solution for the recurrence relation (*). Question: How do we know whether this is the only solution for the recurrence relation $(*)$? Notice that when I found the particular solution above I assumed that the solution was a linear combination of geometric series. But I do not know if all the solutions will have this form. • Use method of difference on the recursive definition $x_{n+2}-x_{n+1}=(a-2)x_{n+1}+x_{n+1}-x_{n}$ and add these equations for all values of n. – Pi_die_die Jul 8 '18 at 20:57 • In other words, prove that it satisfies condition $(*)$. – steven gregory Jul 8 '18 at 20:59 • Yes you would get the sum which would be the type of sum you would expect from a gp – Pi_die_die Jul 8 '18 at 21:01 You have specific initial values $x_0$ and $x_1$. The recurrence relation fully determines all other values. Thus, there's exactly one solution. If you've found it, that's it, there can't be any others, no matter what approach you took in order to find it. If you want to show that all solutions of $x_{n+2}=ax_{n+1}-x_n$ are combinations of the geometric series you found, you can argue as follows: This is a linear second-order recurrence. Its solutions form a two-dimensional vector space. (A vector space because of the linearity of the recurrence, and a two-dimensional one because the solution space is spanned by the two solutions for the initial conditions $x_1=1$, $x_2=0$ and $x_1=0$, $x_2=1$.) You've found two linearly independent solutions; hence they span the entire solution space. • Hi @joriki I would appreciate some clarifications before I accept your answer. I understand that the set of solutions is a subspace of the vector space of sequences $\{f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}: f\mbox{ is a function}\}$. I also understand that I found two solutions that are linearly independent. I do not know why the dimension of the solution space is 2 and not greater than 2. Also, what do you mean by $a_0$ and $a_1$? – Chilote Jul 8 '18 at 21:23 • @Chilote: I'm sorry, I meant $x_1$ and $x_2$; I've fixed that. The solution for given initial conditions $x_1=\hat x_1$ and $x_2=\hat x_2$ is $\hat x_1s_1+\hat x_2 s_2$, where $s_1$ is the solution for $x_1=1$ and $x_2=0$ and $s_2$ is the solution for $x_1=0$ and $x_2=1$; so $s_1$ and $s_2$ span the solution space; hence it's at most two-dimensional (in fact exactly two-dimensional, since $s_1$ and $s_2$ are linearly independent). – joriki Jul 8 '18 at 21:31 • Got it, the solution space of $x_{n+2}=ax_{n+1}-x_n$ is $S=\{(x_n)_n:x_{n+2}=ax_{n+1}-x_n\}$ which is a vector space. Any vector in this space is of the form $x=(x_1,x_2,ax_2-x_1,a(ax_2-x_1)-x_2,\dots)=x_1 s_1+x_2 s_2$ where $s_1$ and $s_2$ are two particular solutions that are linearly independent. – Chilote Jul 8 '18 at 21:49 • You've found two linearly independent solutions Just to nitpick, that's iff $a \ne \pm 2$. – dxiv Jul 8 '18 at 23:29 • @Chilote: This was actually overkill, since you only asked about the uniqueness of one particular solution, not about all solutions being combinations of the geometric series. I edited the answer accordingly. – joriki Jul 9 '18 at 5:22 A bit of culture. Any two consecutive numbers in your sequence, call them $x_n$ and $x_{n+1},$ satisfy $$x_n^2 - a \, x_n \, x_{n+1} + x_{n+1}^2 = 1$$ Try consecutive values in $$1, \; \; a, \; \; a^2 - 1, \; \; a^3 - 2a, \; \ldots$$ This comes from the matrix $$\left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & a \end{array} \right)$$ which has determinant $1$ and trace $a.$ It also gives an automorphism of the quadratic form $x^2 - a xy+y^2.$ An automorphism matrix $P$ for a quadratic form that has Hessian matrix $H$ satisfies $P^T HP = H$ In this case $$\left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & a \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{cc} 2 & -a \\ -a & 2 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & a \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{cc} 2 & -a \\ -a & 2 \end{array} \right)$$ The explicit relation with the sequence is $$\left( \begin{array}{cc} 0 & 1 \\ -1 & a \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x_n \\ x_{n+1} \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} x_{n+1} \\ x_{n+2} \end{array} \right)$$ • How can I get the first equality? – Chilote Jul 8 '18 at 21:52 • @Chilote the automorphism group for an (indefinite) binary quadratic form, along with the Pell type equation $\tau^2 - \Delta \sigma^2 = 4,$ is discussed in many number theory and quadratic forms books. – Will Jagy Jul 8 '18 at 23:24 • I think the quadratic form corresponding to the matrix you wrote above is $ay^2$ – Chilote Jul 8 '18 at 23:59 • @Chilote I put in a little about the automorphism. The matrix that gives the quadratic form is the symmetric one; it is just the Hessian matrix of second partial derivatives – Will Jagy Jul 9 '18 at 0:23

Stack Exchange network consists of 176 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share … In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is interpreted as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. If P A Ais nonsingular then the eigenvectors of P 1 U Acorresponding to are of the form [0 T;vT] where v is any eigenvector of P 1 S Cthat corresponds to its unit eigenvalue. T is diagonal iff A is symmetric. Every square real matrix A is orthogonally similar to an upper block triangular matrix T with A=Q T TQ where each block of T is either a 1#1 matrix or a 2#2 matrix having complex conjugate eigenvalues. Moreover, the eigenvectors of P 1 U Acorresponding to are of the form [uT;((P S+ C) 1Bu) T] . Block lower triangular matrices and block upper triangular matrices are popular preconditioners for $2\times 2$ block matrices. Moreover, the eigenvectors of P 1 Based on the lemma, we can derive the following main results about the SBTS iteration method. Yes. First of all: what is the determinant of a triangular matrix? However, a 2 by 2 symmetric matrix cannot have imaginary eigenvalues, so R must be diagonal. The second consequence of Schur’s theorem says that every matrix is similar to a block-diagonal matrix where each block is upper triangular and has a constant diagonal. The determinant of a block-diagonal matrix is the product of the determinants of the blocks, so, by considering the definition of the characteristic polynomial, it should be clear that the eigenvalues of a block-diagonal matrix are the eigenvalues of the blocks. Assume that α is a positive constant and S = W − 1 T. These eigenvectors form an orthonormal set. Theorem 3.2. Then the eigenvalues of the matrix S = W − 1 T are all real, and S is similar to a diagonal matrix. 2 AQ = QΛ A(Qe i)=(Qe i)λ i Qe i is an eigenvector, and λ i is eigenvalue. TRIANGULAR PRECONDITIONED BLOCK MATRICES 3 P 1 A Athat corresponds to its unit eigenvalue. Theorem 6. This is an important step in a possible proof of Jordan canonical form. Developing along the first column you get $a_{11} \det(A_{11}'),$ where $A_{11}'$ is the minor you get by crossing out the first row and column of [math]A. This method can be impractical, however, due to the contamination of smaller eigenvalues by This decouples the problem of computing the eigenvalues of Ainto the (solved) problem of computing 1, and then computing the remaining eigenvalues by focusing on the lower right (n 1) (n 1) submatrix. Let W, T ∈ R n × n be symmetric positive definite and symmetric, respectively. Hence R is symmetric block diagonal with blocks that either are 1 by 1 or are symmetric and 2 by 2 with imaginary eigenvalues. upper-triangular, then the eigenvalues of Aare equal to the union of the eigenvalues of the diagonal blocks. If each diagonal block is 1 1, then it follows that the eigenvalues of any upper-triangular matrix are the diagonal elements. 1 is a matrix with block upper-triangular structure. Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up, or partition it, into a collection of smaller matrices. In this note we show that a block lower triangular preconditioner gives the same spectrum as a block upper triangular preconditioner and that the eigenvectors of the two preconditioned matrices are related.

# A Seemingly Impossible Problem Given that $w, x, y, z$ take on values $0$ and $1$ with equal probability, what is the probability that $w+x+y+z$ is odd? Which of the following arguments is correct? Furthermore, can you generalize this result? Argument 1: If all 4 numbers are even, the sum is even. If 3 numbers are even, the sum is odd. If 2 numbers are even, the sum is even. If 1 number is even, the sum is odd. If 0 numbers are even, the sum is even. In 2 of the 5 cases, the sum is odd. Hence, $w + x +y + z$ is odd with probability $\frac{ 2}{5}$. Argument 2: $w + x + y + z$ is either odd or even. In 1 of the 2 cases, the sum is odd. Hence, $w + x +y + z$ is odd with probability $\frac{ 1}{2}$. Argument 3: By listing out all the $2^4$ cases, we find that there are ${ 4 \choose 0} + { 4 \choose 2} + { 4 \choose 4 } = 8$ cases with an even sum, and ${ 4 \choose 1} + {4 \choose 3} = 8$ cases with an odd sum. Hence, $w + x +y + z$ is odd with probability $\frac{ 1}{2}$. Context: In a recent problem, Argument 1 was given, and many people agreed with it.

In case 2 there are 4 outcomes that make an odd sum In case 3 there are 6 outcomes that make an even sum In case 4 there are 4 outcomes that make an odd sum In case 5 there is only 1 outcome to make an even sum. Thus out of the 16 equally likely outcomes 8 will yield an odd sum and 8 will yield an even sum. Therefore the probability that w + x + y + z is odd is 1/2. - 5 years, 5 months ago Reminds me of Bertrand paradox, where three ways of choosing a seemingly the same uniformly random chord on a circle give different probability distributions (which means they are different). - 5 years, 5 months ago I am not very sure if these two are similar indeed.

Doesn't matter whether A is odd or even. z will be the one that decide whether the sum of w, x, y, z (assume w +x+y+z= B) is odd or even => With that the possibility for B to be odd = 50% => Argument 1: Wrong Argument 2: Correct (but lack at explaining) Argument 3: Correct - 5 years, 5 months ago While argument 2 produces the correct numerical answer, the logic presented is incorrect.

When dealing with even cases, you forgot that 0 is an even number. Staff - 4 years, 6 months ago Argument 1 is incorrect because each case is not equally likely. Argument 2 gives the correct answer but for the wrong reason. Consider the probability of drawing the Ace of spades from a deck of cards. The card drawn is either the ace or it is not.

http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/79446/what-is-the-remainder-of-1420101-div-6

What is the remainder of $(14^{2010}+1) \div 6$? What is the remainder of $(14^{2010}+1) \div 6$? Someone showed me a way to do this by finding a pattern, i.e.: $14^1\div6$ has remainder 2 $14^2\div6$ has remainder 4 $14^3\div6$ has remainder 2 $14^4\div6$ has remainder 4 And it seems that when the power is odd, the answer is 2, and when it's even, the answer is 4. 2010 is even, so the remainder is 4, but we have that +1, so the final remainder is 5. Which is correct. But this method doesn't seem very concrete to me, and I have a feeling the pattern may not be easy to find (or exist?) for every question. What theorem or algorithm can I use to solve this instead? - $14\equiv 2\pmod 6$, so $14^{2010}+1\equiv 2^{2010}+1\pmod 6$. Now $2\cdot 2^2=2^3=8\equiv 2\pmod 6$, so $2\cdot (2^2)^k\equiv 2\pmod 6$ for any non-negative integer $k$. This shows that the pattern that you observed is real: $2^{2k+1} \equiv 2\pmod 6$ for any non-negative integer $k$. In particular, $$2^{2010}+1\equiv 2\cdot 2^{2009}+1 \equiv 2\cdot 2+1 \equiv 5\pmod 6\;.$$ The same basic idea can be used in similar problems, though the cycle of the pattern may not be nearly so short. To go much deeper than this kind of analysis, you want to look into the Chinese Remainder Theorem. - $14=0\pmod{2}$ and $14=2\pmod{3}$. Thus, because $2^2=1\pmod{3}$, for any $k>0$, we have $$14^k=0\pmod{2}$$ and $$14^k=\left\{\begin{array}{}1\pmod{3}&\text{when }k=0\pmod{2}\\2\pmod{3}&\text{when }k=1\pmod{2}\end{array}\right.$$ Therefore, for any $k>0$, we have by the Chinese Remainder Theorem, $$14^k=\left\{\begin{array}{}4\pmod{6}&\text{when }k=0\pmod{2}\\2\pmod{6}&\text{when }k=1\pmod{2}\end{array}\right.$$ So, as you surmised, $14^{2010}+1=5\pmod{6}$. - To solve this problem, in general, I'd use use two facts: 1. If $a$ and $n$ are relatively prime, $a^{\phi(n)} \bmod n = 1$. Here $\phi$ is the Euler phi function; when $n$ is prime, $\phi(n) = n-1$. This lets you reduce exponents to ones with power less than $\phi(n)$; for instance $$2^{2010} \bmod 5 = (2^4)^{502} 2^2 \bmod 5 = 1^{502} 4 \bmod 5 = 4.$$ (Here $2^2$ happened to be trivial to compute by hand; if the exponent were larger I would calculate it using the technique of repeated squaring.) 2. Unfortunately 2 and 6 are not relatively prime; in this case I would factor $6$ into primes and use the Chinese remainder theorem: $$2^{2010} \bmod 3 = (2^2)^{1005} \bmod 3 = 1$$ $$2^{2010} \bmod 2 = 0$$ so applying the Chinese remainder theorem, $2^{2010}$ must be congruent to 4 mod 6. - We may write following equalities : $14^{2010}=6\cdot k_1+4$ $14^{2010}+1=6\cdot k_2+r$ $6\cdot k_1+4+1=6\cdot k_2+r\Rightarrow 6k_1+5=6k_2+r$ The last equality is true only if $k_1=k_2$ and $r=5$ - Please excuse my ignorance, but it looks to me like you assumed that $14^{2010} = 4 \mod 6$, and then use this to 'prove' that $14^{2010} + 1 = 5 \mod 6$. How do you justify the first equality given $k_1$ is an integer? –  tom Nov 6 '11 at 9:01 @tom,read carefully text of the question... –  pedja Nov 6 '11 at 10:03 HINT $\rm\quad (m,n) = 1,\ m\:|\:a,\ n\:|\:a+1\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ a^{2\:k}\ \equiv\ m\:(m^{-1}\ mod\ n)\ \pmod{mn}\$ by CRT.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/72589/whats-the-probability-of-at-least-and-exactly-one-event-occurring

# What's the probability of “at least” and “exactly” one event occurring? If I know the probability of event $A$ occurring and I also know the probability of $B$ occurring, how can I calculate the probability of "at least one of them" occurring? I was thinking that this is $P(A \text{ or } B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \text{ and }B)$. Is this correct? If it is, then how can I solve the following problem taken from DeGroot's Probability and Statistics: If $50$ percent of families in a certain city subscribe to the morning newspaper, $65$ percent of the families subscribe to the afternoon newspaper, and $85$ percent of the families subscribe to at least one of the two newspapers, what proportion of the families subscribe to both newspapers? In a more mathematical language, we are given $P(\text{morning})=.5$, $P(\text{afternoon})=.65$, $P(\text{morning or afternoon}) = .5 + .65 - P(\text{morning and afternoon}) = .85$, which implies that $P(\text{morning and afternoon}) = .3$, which should be the answer to the question. Is my reasoning correct? If it is correct, how can I calculate the following? If the probability that student $A$ will fail a certain statistics examination is $0.5$, the probability that student $B$ will fail the examination is $0.2$, and the probability that both student $A$ and student $B$ will fail the examination is $0.1$, what is the probability that exactly one of the two students will fail the examination? These problems and questions highlight the difference between "at least one of them" and "exactly one of them". Provided that "at least one of them" is equivalent to $P(A \text{ or } B)$, but how can I work out the probability of "exactly one of them"? You are correct. To expand a little: if $A$ and $B$ are any two events then $$P(A\textrm{ or }B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\textrm{ and }B)$$ or, written in more set-theoretical language, $$P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\cap B)$$ In the example you've given you have $A=$ "subscribes to a morning paper" and $B=$ "subscribes to an afternoon paper." You are given $P(A)$, $P(B)$ and $P(A\cup B)$ and you need to work out $P(A\cap B)$ which you can do by rearranging the formula above, to find that $P(A\cap B) = 0.3$, as you have already worked out. • "Exactly one of A and B" means "Either A or B, but not both" which you can calculate as P(A or B) - P(A and B). – Chris Taylor Oct 14 '11 at 11:13 • Are you asking about the notation itself, or the method of displaying the notation? To write the notation we use $\LaTeX$ - you can find a tutorial by searching for "latex tutorial" in Google. Here's one, for example. If you want to learn the notation itself, the best way is learning by doing. You should read a mathematics text that's appropriate for your level, and make sure you understand all the notation used there. As you read more complex texts, you will become more and more familiar with the notation. – Chris Taylor Oct 14 '11 at 11:21 • So if I download LaTeX and paste your notation then it displays it in a more readable form? – upabove Oct 14 '11 at 11:24 For your second question, you know $\Pr(A)$, $\Pr(B)$, and $\Pr(A \text{ and } B)$, so you can work out $\Pr(A \text{ and not } B)$ and $\Pr(B \text{ and not } A)$ by taking the differences. Then add these two together. Alternatively take $\Pr(A \text{ or } B) - \Pr(A \text{ and } B)$. • Pr(A and not B) + Pr(B and not A) is not the same as Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr(A and B) – Petr Peller Apr 4 '15 at 17:44 • Pr(A and not B) + Pr(B and not A) + Pr(A and B) is what you are looking for, but calculating Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr(A and B) seems to be much easier. – Petr Peller Apr 4 '15 at 18:06 • $\Pr(A \text{ and not } B)+\Pr(B \text{ and not } A)$ is the answer to "but how can I work out the probability of exactly one of them?" which is what I meant by "your second question" – Henry Apr 4 '15 at 18:08 For the additional problem: probability of exactly one equals probability of one or the other but not both, equals probability of union minus probability of intersection, equals $$P(A)+P(B)-2P(A\cap B)$$ probability of only one event occuring is as follows: if A and B are 2 events then probability of only A occuring can be given as P(A and B complement)= P(A) - P(A AND B )

So, I gave Rs. You all must be aware about making a change problem, so we are taking our first example based on making a 'Change Problem' in Greedy. Let a m be an activity in S k with the earliest nish time. Write a function to compute the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount. There are many possible ways like using. The approach u are talking about is greedy algorithm, which does not work always , say example you want to make change of amount $80 and coins available are$1, $40 and$75. Output: minimum number of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies to make change for n. Problem: Making 29-cents change with coins {1, 5, 10, 25, 50} A 5-coin solution. We assume that we have an in nite supply of coins of each denomination. Change-Making problem is a variation of the Knapsack problem, more precisely - the Unbounded Knapsack problem, also known as the Complete Knapsack problem. Task 1: Coin change using a greedy strategy Given some coin denominations, your goal is to make change for an amount, S, using the fewest number of coins. Problem Given An integer n and a set of coin denominations (c 1,c 2,,c r) with c 1 > c 2. • For example, consider a more generic coin denomination scenario where the coins are valued 25, 10 and 1. Greedy Algorithms - Minimum Coin Change Problem. Hints: You can solve this problem recursively, but you must optimize your solution to eliminate overlapping subproblems using Dynamic Programming if you wish to pass all test cases. But it can be observed with some made up examples. Greedy-choice Property: There is always an optimal solution that makes a greedy choice. Greedy Strategy: The problem of Coin changing is concerned with making change for a specified coin value using the fewest number of coins, with respect to the given coin denominations. A coin system is canonical if the number of coins given in change by the greedy algorithm is optimal for all amounts. A Greedy algorithm is one of the problem-solving methods which takes optimal solution in each step. Ask Question Asked 5 years, 3 months ago. Solutions 16-1: Coin Changing 16-1a. This problem is to count to a desired value by choosing the least possible coins and the greedy approach forces the algorithm to pick the largest possible coin. 1p, x, and less than 2x but more than x. Else repeat steps 3 and 4. Coin Change Problem Finding the number of ways of making changes for a particular amount of cents, n, using a given set of denominations C={c1…cd} (e. Harvard CS50 Problem Set 1: greedy change-making algorithm. A coin problem where a greedy algorithm works The U. Earlier we have seen “Minimum Coin Change Problem“. Greedy algorithm explaind with minimum coin exchage problem. Greedy algorithms don't necessarily provide an optimal solution. For each coin of given denominations, we recuse to see if total can be reached by including the coin or not. Describe a greedy algorithm to make change consisting of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Use bottom up technique instead of top down to speed it up. Does the greedy algorithm always find an optimal solution?. Greedy and dynamic programming solutions. Greedy Algorithms - Minimum Coin Change Problem. Minimum Coin Change Problem. For this we will take under consideration all the valid coins or notes i. Let's take a look at the coin change problem. With Greedy, it would select 25, then 5 * 1 for a total of 6 coins. If the answer is yes, give a proof. Coin Change Problem with Greedy Algorithm Let's start by having the values of the coins in an array in reverse sorted order i. Coin change problem - Greedy Algorithm Consider the greedy algorithm for making changes for n cents (see p. # < for funsies I put some dollar stuff in :-} > # #####*/ #include #include #include. The generic problem of coin change cannot be solved using the greedy approach, because the claim that we have to use highest denomination coin as much as possible is wrong here and it could lead to suboptimal or no solutions in some cases. Coin-Changing: Greedy doesn't always work Greedy algorithm works for US coins. Change-Making problem is a variation of the Knapsack problem, more precisely - the Unbounded Knapsack problem, also known as the Complete Knapsack problem. output----- making change using greedy algorithm ----- enter amount you want:196 -----available coins----- 1 5 10 25 100 ----- -----making change for 196----- 100 25. solution to an optimization problem. Like other typical Dynamic Programming(DP) problems , recomputations of same subproblems can be avoided by constructing a temporary array table[][] in bottom up manner. If the amount cannot be made up by any combination of the given coins, return -1. You have quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Accepted Answer: Srinivas. But greedy method is not going to give always optimal solution. Here, we will discuss how to use Greedy algorithm to making coin changes. Let's take a look at the algorithm:. A greedy algorithm is an algorithmic paradigm that follows the problem solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage with the hope of finding a global optimum. Problem Statement. Coin changing Inputs to program. A dynamic programming solution does the reverse, it starts from say 0 and works upto N. Therefore, greedy algorithms are a subset of dynamic programming. For this we will take under consideration all the valid coins or notes i. In this tutorial we will learn about Coin Changing Problem using Dynamic Programming. Coin change problem : Greedy algorithm. Hence we treat the bounded case in the. For example, if I put in 63 cents, it should give coin = [2 1 0 3]. The order of coins doesn’t matter. Let qo; do; ko; po be the number of quarters, dimes, nicke. In some cases, there may be more than one optimal. Algorithm: Sort the array of coins in decreasing order. The coin of the highest value, less than the remaining change owed, is the local optimum. Find the largest denomination that is smaller than current amount. Greedy Solution. But greedy method is not going to give always optimal solution. If you are not very familiar with a greedy algorithm, here is the gist: At every step of the algorithm, you take the best available option and hope that everything turns optimal at the end which usually does. Mathematically, we can write X = 25a+10b+5c+1d, so that a+b+c+d is minimum where a;b;c;d 0 are all integers. Write a method to compute the smallest number of coins to make up the given amount. Initialize set of coins as empty. As an example consider the problem of "Making Change ". Think of a "greedy" cashier as one who wants to take, with each press, the biggest bite out of this problem as possible. The order of coins doesn't matter. Given some amount, n, provide the least number of coins which sum up to n. Greedy Approach Pick coin with largest denomination first: • return largest coin pi from P such that dpi ≤ A • A− = dpi • find next largest coin What is the time complexity of the algorithm? Solution not necessarily optimal: • consider A = 20 and D = {15,10,10,1,1,1,1,1} • greedy returns 6 coins, optimal requires only 2 coins!. Most current currencies use a 1-2-5 series , but some other set of denominations would require fewer denominations of coins or a smaller average number of coins to make change or both. I want to be able to input some amount of cents from 0-99, and get an output of the minimum number of coins it takes to make. # < for funsies I put some dollar stuff in :-} > # #####*/ #include #include #include. , coins = [20, 10, 5, 1]. Write a function to compute the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount. Coins available are: dollars (100 cents) quarters (25 cents). 2 Define coin change Problem. You're right, that approach works with US coins and this approach is called a greedy approach. The change making problem is an optimization problem that asks "What is the minimum number of coins I need to make up a specific total?". My problem is that it doesn't give the desired output to the above-mentioned input. Whereas the correct answer is 3 + 3. Each step it chooses the optimal choice, without knowing the future. , Sm} valued coins. 22-23 of the slides), and suppose the available coin denominations, in addition to the quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, also include twenties (worth 20 cents). If that amount of money cannot be made up by any combination of the coins, return -1. This paper offers an O(n^3) algorithm for deciding whether a coin system is canonical, where n is the number of different kinds of coins. Hints: You can solve this problem recursively, but you must optimize your solution to eliminate overlapping subproblems using Dynamic Programming if you wish to pass all test cases. Greedy Algorithm vs Dynamic Programming 53 •Greedy algorithm: Greedy algorithm is one which finds the feasible solution at every stage with the hope of finding global optimum solution. While amount is not zero: 3. The greedy method works fine when we are using U. The Coin Change problem is the problem of finding the number of ways of making changes for a particular amount of cents, , using a given set of denominations …. We'll pick 1, 15, 25. A greedy algorithm for solving the change making problem repeatedly selects the largest coin denomination available that does not exceed the remainder. Coin change problem : Algorithm. A greedy algorithm for solving the change making problem repeatedly selects the largest coin denomination available that does not exceed the remainder. Coin Changing Minimum Number of Coins Dynamic programming Minimum number of coins Dynamic Programming - Duration: Coin Change Problem Number of ways to get total. On the other hand, if we had used a dynamic. Let q o; d o; k o; p o be the number of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies used for changing n cents in an optimal solution. Given a set of coins and a total money amount. Let's define $f(i,j)$ which will denote the number of ways through which you can get a total of j amount of money using only the first i types of coins from the gi. These are the steps a human would take to emulate a greedy algorithm to represent 36 cents using only coins with values {1, 5, 10, 20}. This problem is to count to a desired value by choosing the least possible coins and the greedy approach forces the algorithm to pick the largest possible coin. Greedy algorithms are used to solve optimization problems. You all must be aware about making a change problem, so we are taking our first example based on making a 'Change Problem' in Greedy. We give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine, for a given coin system, whether the greedy algorithm is optimal. Note that a bite. In this tutorial we will learn about fractional knapsack problem, a greedy algorithm. Coin change problem : Greedy algorithm. Now if we have to make a value of n using these coins, then we will check for the first element in the array (greedy choice) and if it is greater than n, we will move to the next element, otherwise take it. If that amount of money cannot be made up by any combination of the coins, return -1. And someones wants us to give change of 30p. But greedy method is not going to give always optimal solution. Greedy algorithms determine minimum number of coins to give while making change. Coin changing Inputs to program. Problem Coin Change problem. code • personal • money • it • greedy • solution • dynamic-programming • english • problem • coin • change • cool 678 words This is a classical problem of Computer Science : it's used to study both Greedy and Dynamic Programming algorithmic techniques. What is a good example of greedy algorithms? For this algorithm, a simple example is coin-changing: to minimize the number of U. As an example consider the problem of "Making Change ". 2 Define coin change Problem. Coin Change Problem. We give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine, for a given coin system, whether the greedy algorithm is optimal. Coins available are: dollars (100 cents) quarters (25 cents). You can state the make-change problem as paying a given amount (the change) using the least number of bills and coins among the available denominations. and we have infinite supply of each of the denominations in Indian currency. For example, consider the problem of converting an arbitrary number of cents into standard coins; in other words, consider the problem of making change. Optimal Bounds for the ChangeMaking Problem Dexter Kozen and Shm uel Zaks Computer Science Departmen oblem is the problem of represen ting agiv en v alue with the few est coins p ossible W ein v estigate the prob lem of determining whether the greedy algorithm pro duces an opti e consider the related problem of determining whether the. Algorithm: Sort the array of coins in decreasing order. Greedy-choice Property: There is always an optimal solution that makes a greedy choice. More specifically, think of ways to store the checked solutions and use the stored values to avoid repeatedly calculating the same values. Problem Statement. Note: The answer for this question may differ from person to person. Coin Change Problem with Greedy Algorithm Let's start by having the values of the coins in an array in reverse sorted order i. Greedy algorithms are used to solve optimization problems Greedy Approach Greedy Algorithm works by making the decision that seems most promising at any moment; it never reconsiders this decision, whatever situation may arise later. I want to be able to input some amount of cents from 0-99, and get an output of the minimum number of coins it takes to make that amount of change. When we need to find an approximate solution to a complex problem, greedy can be a superb choice. Solutions 16-1: Coin Changing 16-1a. The following Python example demonstrates the make-change problem is solvable by a greedy. We start by push the root node that is the amount.

I've coded this problem set and it works completely fine on my machine printing all desired output. Coin change problem Consider the greedy algorithm for making changes for n cents (see p. Coin change problem; Fractional knapsack problem; Job scheduling problem; There is also a special use of the greedy technique. Since the greedy approach to solving the change problem failed, let's try something different. Greedy Algorithms •An algorithm where at each choice point - Commit to what seems to be the best option - Proceed without backtracking •Cons: - It may return incorrect results - It may require more steps than optimal •Pros: - it often is much faster than exhaustive search Coin change problem. See algorithm $\text{MAKE-CHANGE}(S, v)$ which does a dynamic programming solution. Consider you want to buy a car-the one with best features, whatever the cost may be. This is the most efficient , shortest and readable solution to this problem. These types of optimization problems is often solved by Dynamic Programming or Greedy Algorithms. Input: coins = [1, 2, 5], amount = 11 Output: 3 Explanation: 11 = 5 + 5 + 1. There are four ways to make change for using coins with values given by : Thus, we print as our answer. Greedy algorithm explaind with minimum coin exchage problem. Since as few coins as. Coin Change Problem: Given an unlimited supply of coins of given denominations, find the total number of distinct ways to get a desired change The idea is to use recursion to solve this problem. A coin system is canonical if the number of coins given in change by the greedy algorithm is optimal for all amounts. Subtract out this coin while you can, then step down until the smallest coin. Earlier we have seen “Minimum Coin Change Problem“. In this article , we shall use the simple but sufficiently representative case of S=[ 1,2,3 ] and n = 4. Greedy algorithm for making change in C. For example, if I put in 63 cents, it should give coin = [2 1 0 3]. This is the most efficient , shortest and readable solution to this problem. Greedy algorithms determine minimum number of coins to give while making change. Optimal way is: 1 20 ;1 10 ;1 5;2 1. These are the steps a human would take to emulate a greedy algorithm to represent 36 cents using only coins with values {1, 5, 10, 20}. # < for funsies I put some dollar stuff in :-} > # #####*/ #include #include #include. The coin change problem is a well studied problem in Computer Science, and is a popular example given for teaching students Dynamic Programming. The recursive solution starts with problem size N and tries to reduce the problem size to say, N/2 in each step. Greedy Coin-change Algorithm. if no coins given, 0 ways to change the amount. There are many possible ways like using. In the change giving algorithm, we can force a point at which it isn't optimal globally. , best immediate, or local) bite that can be taken is 25 cents. A number of common problems are optimally solved by greedy algorithms: algorithms where a locally optimal choice at each stage of the calculation leads to a globally optimal solution. In the problems presented at the beginning of this post, the greedy approach was applicable since for each denomination, the denomination just smaller than it was a perfect divisor of it. Let q o; d o; k o; p o be the number of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies used for changing n cents in an optimal solution. This is the most efficient , shortest and readable solution to this problem. Greedy and dynamic programming solutions. , coins = [20, 10, 5, 1].

Given a value N, find the number of ways to make change for N cents, if we have infinite supply of each of S = { S1, S2,. These are the steps a human would take to emulate a greedy algorithm to represent 36 cents using only coins with values {1, 5, 10, 20}. a) The greedy algorithm for making change repeatedly uses the biggest coin smaller than the amount to be changed until it is zero. -Greedy: From the smallest coin, scan up until just before a value larger than the amount you are making change for. January 6, 2020; Posted by: Kamal Rawat; Category: Uncategorized; No Comments. Also, output comes back 0 if I input any negative, while I want the output to repeat the question. For me the problem name was a bit misleading (maybe done intentionally), as Coin Change problem is slightly different - finding the ways of making a certain change. On the other hand, if we had used a dynamic. For the greedy solution you iterate from the largest value, keep adding this value to the solution, and then iterate for the next lower coin etc. Greedy algorithm for making change in C. Does the greedy algorithm always find an optimal solution? If the answer is no, provide a counterexample. Coin change using US currency Input: n - a positive integer. Prove that your algorithm yields an optimal solution. Greedy and dynamic programming solutions. In fact, it takes 67,716,925 recursive calls to find the optimal solution to the 4 coins, 63 cents problem! To understand the fatal flaw in our approach look at Figure 5, which illustrates a small fraction of the 377 function calls needed to find the optimal set of coins to make change for 26 cents. You can state the make-change problem as paying a given amount (the change) using the least number of bills and coins among the available denominations. To solve such kind of problems we can use greedy strategy, 100's > 1, 2's > 1, 1's > 1. You may assume that you have an infinite number of each kind of coin. Base Cases: if amount=0 then just return empty set to make the change, so 1 way to make the change. The change making problem is an optimization problem that asks "What is the minimum number of coins I need to make up a specific total?". Coin Change Problem Finding the number of ways of making changes for a particular amount of cents, n, using a given set of denominations C={c1…cd} (e. They seek an algo-rithm that will enable them to make change of n units using the minimum number of coins. For example: V = {1, 3, 4} and making change for 6: Greedy gives 4 + 1 + 1 = 3 Dynamic gives 3 + 3 = 2. The problem is simple - given an amount and a set of coins, what is the minimum number of coins that can be used to pay that amount? So, for example, if we have coins for 1,2,5,10,20,50,100 (like we do now in India), the easiest way to pay Rs. Greedy Coin Changing. the number of coins in the given change is minimized), when the supplyof each coin type is unlimited. A greedy algorithm for solving the change making problem repeatedly selects the largest coin denomination available that does not exceed the remainder. The coin change problem • You are a cashier and have k infinite piles of coins with values d 1 , , d k You have to give change for t You want to use the minimum number of coins • Definition: Cost[t] := minimum number of coins to obtain t Life can only be understood backwards;. Before writing this code, you must understand what is the Greedy algorithm and Fractional Knapsack problem. if no coins given, 0 ways to change the amount. Optimal way is: 1 20 ;1 10 ;1 5;2 1. A coin system is canonical if the number of coins given in change by the greedy algorithm is optimal for all amounts. Give an algorithm which makes change for an amount of money C with as few coins as possible. The coin of the highest value, less than the remaining change owed, is the local optimum. We give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine, for a given coin system, whether the greedy algorithm is optimal. Greedy Coin Changing. Given an integer X between 0 and 99, making change for X involves nding coins that sum to X using the least number of coins. Show that the greedy algorithm's measures are at least as good as any solution's measures. Earlier we have seen "Minimum Coin Change Problem". Otherwise, we try to use each coin and ask the function again to get min number of. One commonly-used example is the coin change problem. Say I went to a shop and bought 4 toffees. , coins = [20, 10, 5, 1]. In the change giving algorithm, we can force a point at which it isn't optimal globally. , best immediate, or local) bite that can be taken is 25 cents.

In this article, we will discuss an optimal solution to solve Coin change problem using Greedy algorithm. Earlier we have seen "Minimum Coin Change Problem". At each iteration, add coin of the largest value that does not take us past the amount to be paid. The Coin Changing problem For a given set of denominations, you are asked to find the minimum number of coins with which a given amount of money can be paid. January 6, 2020; Posted by: Kamal Rawat; Category: Uncategorized; No Comments. Lo June 10, 2014 1 Greedy Algorithms 1. Number of different denominations available. One common way of formally describing greedy algorithms is in terms op-timization problems over so-called weighted set systems [5]. The coin of the highest value, less than the remaining change owed, is the local optimum. (a) Describe a greedy algorithm to make change consisting of quarters (25 cents), dimes (10 cents), nickels (5 cents) and pennies (1 cent). Given a set of coin denomination (1,5,10) the problem is to find minimum number of coins required to get a certain amount. Some optimization question. Problem 2 Given a positive integer n, we consider the following problem: Making change for ncents using the fewest number of coins. For example using Euro cents the best possible change for 4 cents are two 2 cent coins with a total of two coins. In this problem, the aim is to find the minimum number of coins with particular value which add up to a given amount of money. Greedy Algorithm to find Minimum number of Coins - Greedy Algorithm - Given a value V, if we want to make change for V Rs. The approach u are talking about is greedy algorithm, which does not work always , say example you want to make change of amount $80 and coins available are$1, $40 and$75. Problem Coin Change problem. Since as few coins as. One 2 cent coin and two 1 cent coins; The minimum coin change problem is a variation of the generic coin change problem where you need to find the best option for changing the money returning the less number of coins. Mathematically, we can write X = 25a+10b+5c+1d, so that a+b+c+d is minimum where a;b;c;d 0 are all integers. Problem Statement. The greedy method works fine when we are using U. Below are commonly asked greedy algorithm problems in technical interviews - Activity Selection Problem. From lecture 3. The Minimum Coin Change (or Min-Coin Change) is the problem of using the minimum number of coins to make change for a particular amount of cents, Greedy Approach. Analyzing the run time for greedy algorithms will generally be much easier than for other techniques (like Divide and conquer). Use bottom up technique instead of top down to speed it up. ~ We claim that any optimal solution must also take coin k. Greedy Coin-change Algorithm. Classic Knapsack Problem Variant: Coin Change via Dynamic Programming and Breadth First Search Algorithm The shortest, smallest or fastest keywords hint that we can solve the problem using the Breadth First Search algorithm. Change-Making problem is a variation of the Knapsack problem, more precisely - the Unbounded Knapsack problem, also known as the Complete Knapsack problem. Since the greedy approach to solving the change problem failed, let's try something different. For example, for N = 4 and S = {1,2,3}, there are four solutions:. (I understand Dynamic Programming approach is better for this problem but I did that already). Implies that a greedy algorithm can invoke itself recursively after making a greedy. Some optimization question. THINGS TO BE EXPLAINED: DP & Greedy Definition Of Coin Changing Example with explanation Time complexity Difference between DP & Greedy in Coin Change Problem 3.

Example: Want change for 37 cents. 1 Counting Coins. Put simply, a solution to Change-Making problem aims to represent a value in fewest coins under a given coin system. has these coins: half dollar (50 cents), quarter (25), dime (10), nickel (5), and penny (1). That bite is the "best," as it gets us closer to 0 cents faster than any other coin would. Like the rod cutting problem, coin change problem also has the property of the optimal substructure i. Hence we treat the bounded case in the. TOP Interview Coding Problems/Challenges Run-length encoding (find/print frequency of letters in a string). By your approach your answer would be one coin of 75 and 5 coins of $1 but correct answer would be 2 coins of$40. Dynamic Programming. We are to calculate the number of ways the input amount can be distributed with this coins. See algorithm $\text{MAKE-CHANGE}(S, v)$ which does a dynamic programming solution. That is, nd largest a with 25a X. What is the algorithm?. On the other hand, if we had used a dynamic. Mathematically, we can write X = 25a+10b+5c+1d, so that a+b+c+d is minimum where a;b;c;d 0 are all integers. Given an integer X between 0 and 99, making change for X involves nding coins that sum to X using the least number of coins. Subtract value of found denomination from amount.

In this tutorial we will learn about Coin Changing Problem using Dynamic Programming. The greedy solution would result in the collection of coins $\{1, 1, 4\}$ but the optimal solution would be $\{3, 3\}$. Divide change by Qvalue and somehow using % to go from quarters to dimes, nickels and pennies using the leftovers? This is exactly how you would solve this problem. Greedy algorithms don't necessarily provide an optimal solution. Let S k be a nonempty subproblem containing the set of activities that nish after activity a k. • For example, consider a more generic coin denomination scenario where the coins are valued 25, 10 and 1. The recursive solution starts with problem size N and tries to reduce the problem size to say, N/2 in each step. This problem is a bit harder. Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. The description is as follows: Given an amount of change (n) list all of the possibilities of coins that can be used to satisfy the amount of change. While amount is not zero: 3. Does the greedy algorithm. I want to be able to input some amount of cents from 0-99, and get an output of the minimum number of coins it takes to make that amount of change. In the red box below, we are simply constructing a table list of lists, with length n+1. Greedy algorithms are used to solve optimization problems. Greedy Algorithm to find Minimum number of Coins - Greedy Algorithm - Given a value V, if we want to make change for V Rs. In contrast, we can get a better solution using 4 coins: 3 coins of 10-cents each and 1 coin of 1-cent. Sort n denomination coins in increasing order of value. Some problems have no efficient solution, but a greedy algorithm may provide an efficient solution that is close to optimal. A coin system is canonical if the number of coins given in change by the greedy algorithm is optimal for all amounts. ) We now describe a dynamic programming approach that solves the coin change problem for a list of k coins (d1;d2;:::;dk), d1 = 1, and di < di+1 for. Greedy algorithm explaind with minimum coin exchage problem. For this we will take under consideration all the valid coins or notes i. Greedy algorithms do not always yield an optimal solution, but when they do, they are usually the simplest and most efficient algorithm available. I am not going to proof that. The algorithm is simply: Start with a list of coin values to use (the system), and the target value. 1 Change making problem Problem 1. (I understand Dynamic Programming approach is better for this problem but I did that already). However, coming up with a greedy solution to a problem typically involves more algorithmic thinking; the difficulty in implementing a greedy approach lies in proving that it will work. , coins = [20, 10, 5, 1].

Whenever we. Brute force solution is recursive. 2 (due Nov 3) Consider the coin change problem with coin values 1,3,5. The greedy algorithm is to pick the largest possible denomination. However, coming up with a greedy solution to a problem typically involves more algorithmic thinking; the difficulty in implementing a greedy approach lies in proving that it will work. The Coin Changing problem For a given set of denominations, you are asked to find the minimum number of coins with which a given amount of money can be paid. For example using Euro cents the best possible change for 4 cents are two 2 cent coins with a total of two coins. Coin Change Problem. If the amount cannot be made up by any combination of the given coins, return -1. 1 If there is no such coin return “no viable solution”. TOPIC : COIN CHANGING (DP & GREEDY) WELCOME TO THE PRESENTATION 2. The paper introduces the Empirical Modelling approach to generating software. The min-coin change problem can also be resolved with a greedy algorithm. Suppose F(m) denotes the minimal number of coins needed to make money m, we need to figure out how to denote F(m) using amounts less than m. Give an algorithm which makes change for an amount of money C with as few coins as possible. coins needed to make change for a given amount, we can repeatedly select the largest-denomination coin that is not larger than the amount that remains. Base Cases: if amount=0 then just return empty set to make the change, so 1 way to make the change. Brute force solution is recursive. Is the algorithm still optimal in giving the smallest number of coins?. Prove that your algorithm yields an optimal solution. The Change Making Problem - Fewest Coins To Make Change Dynamic Programming - Duration: 23:12. code • personal • money • it • greedy • solution • dynamic-programming • english • problem • coin • change • cool 678 words This is a classical problem of Computer Science : it's used to study both Greedy and Dynamic Programming algorithmic techniques. It is assumed that there is an unlimited supply of coins for each denomination. (2 points) An example of set of coin denominations for which the greedy algorithm does not yield an optimal solution is {_____}. Ask for change of 2 * second denomination (15) We'll ask for change of 30. (For A=29 the greedy algorithm gives wrong result. At each iteration, add coin of the largest value that does not take us past the amount to be paid. denominations of { 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 , 100, 200 , 500 ,2000 }. 3 (due Nov 3) Consider the coin change problem with coin values 1,4,6. Greedy Algorithm. Given a set of coin denomination (1,5,10) the problem is to find minimum number of coins required to get a certain amount. If we are provided coins of ₹1, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20 (Yes, We've ₹20 coins :D) and we are asked to count ₹36 then the. # < for funsies I put some dollar stuff in :-} > # #####*/ #include #include #include. This 103 can give minimum units of denominators of that particular country. As you've probably figured out the correct, or optimal solution is with two coins: 3 and 3. There are special cases where the greedy algorithm is optimal - for example, the US coin system. Describing greedy in terms of the change problem, the most obvious heuristic is choosing the highest denomination coin that's less than the target amount, then the next (when summed), and so on. Computer Algorithms Design and Analysis. Harvard CS50 Problem Set 1: greedy change-making algorithm the user and give out minimum number of coins needed to pay that between quarters, dimes, nickels and. 1 If there is no such coin return “no viable solution”. I want to be able to input some amount of cents from 0-99, and get an output of the minimum number of coins it takes to make that amount of change. the denominations). Problem 1: Changing Money. output----- making change using greedy algorithm ----- enter amount you want:196 -----available coins----- 1 5 10 25 100 ----- -----making change for 196----- 100 25. For example, consider the problem of converting an arbitrary number of cents into standard coins; in other words, consider the problem of making change. Problem 2 Given a positive integer n, we consider the following problem: Making change for ncents using the fewest number of coins. I understand how the greedy algorithm for the coin change problem (pay a specific amount with the minimal possible number of coins) works - it always selects the coin with the largest denomination not exceeding the remaining sum - and that it always finds the correct solution for specific coin sets. The "greedy algorithm" is an algorithm that tries to do as much as possible at each step without looking ahaed. Solusi Optimal Coin Change Problem dengan Algoritma Greedy dan Dynamic Programming Conference Paper (PDF Available) · December 2011 with 839 Reads How we measure 'reads'. THINGS TO BE EXPLAINED: DP & Greedy Definition Of Coin Changing Example with explanation Time complexity Difference between DP & Greedy in Coin Change Problem 3. In some cases, there may be more than one optimal. The process you almost certainly follow, without consciously considering it, is. Assume that your coin denominations are quarters (25cents), dimes (10cents), nickels (5cents) and pennies (1cent) and that you have an infinite supply of. Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Question 1 1 Coin Change We now prove the simple greedy algorithm for the coin change problem with quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies are optimal (i. Fails when changing 40 when the denominations are 1, 5, 10, 20, 25. (2 points) An example of set of coin denominations for which the greedy algorithm does not yield an optimal solution is {_____}. The following Python example demonstrates the make-change problem is solvable by a greedy. A coin problem where a greedy algorithm works The U. Find the largest denomination that is smaller than current amount. Coin Change Problem Finding the number of ways of making changes for a particular amount of cents, n, using a given set of denominations C={c1…cd} (e. For example, if I put in 63 cents, it should give coin = [2 1 0 3]. In this tutorial we will learn about Coin Changing Problem using Dynamic Programming. -DP: Fill out a number line with optimal change values until reaching the amount you are looking for. solution to an optimization problem. (There are DP algorithms which do require cleverness to see how the recursion or time analysis works. Whenever we. The most common example of this is change counting. It cost me Rs. If the amount cannot be made up by any combination of the given coins, return -1. Assuming an unlimited supply of coins of each denomination, we need to find the number of. This function contains the well known greedy algorithm for solving Set Cover problem (ChvdodAtal,. The greedy algorithm is to pick the largest possible denomination. (2 points) An example of set of coin denominations for which the greedy algorithm does not yield an optimal solution is {_____}. A set system is a pair (E,F), where U is a nonempty finite set and F⊆2E is a family of subsets of E. You are given coins of different denominations and a total amount of money amount. A Greedy algorithm is one of the problem-solving methods which takes optimal solution in each step. Coin Change Problem: Given an unlimited supply of coins of given denominations, find the total number of distinct ways to get a desired change The idea is to use recursion to solve this problem. Note: The answer for this question may differ from person to person. As an example consider the problem of " Making Change ". If amount becomes 0, then print result. The order of coins doesn’t matter. Also, output comes back 0 if I input any negative, while I want the output to repeat the question. There are five ways to make change for units using coins with values given by :. That problem can be approached by a greedy algorithm that always selects the largest denomination not exceeding the remaining amount of money to be paid. , Sm} valued coins. Change-making problem 5. Greedy Algorithm vs Dynamic Programming 53 •Greedy algorithm: Greedy algorithm is one which finds the feasible solution at every stage with the hope of finding global optimum solution. In most real money systems however, the greedy algorithm is optimal. Greedy Algorithms and Hu man Coding Henry Z. 2 (due Nov 6, 2007) Consider the coin change problem with coin values 1,3,5. We have to count the number of ways in which we can make the change. These are the steps a human would take to emulate a greedy algorithm to represent 36 cents using only coins with values {1, 5, 10, 20}. Solutions 16-1: Coin Changing 16-1a. For 49 rupees, find the denominations with least no. Greedy algorithms determine minimum number of coins to give while making change. Subtract out this coin while you can, then step down until the smallest coin. The general proof structure is the following: Find a series of measurements M₁, M₂, …, Mₖ you can apply to any solution. You're right, that approach works with US coins and this approach is called a greedy approach. I've implemented the coin change algorithm using Dynamic Programming and Greedy Algorithm w/ backtracking. I'm trying to write (what I imagine is) a simple matlab script. And we are also allowed to take an item in fractional part. State the greedy method to solve the coin change problem. A greedy algorithm is one that would take, on each pass, the biggest bite out of this problem as possible. A greedy algorithm works if a problem exhibit the following two properties: 1) Greedy Choice Property: A globally optimal solution. -Greedy: From the smallest coin, scan up until just before a value larger than the amount you are making change for. The greedy algorithm would not be able to make change for 41 cents, since after committing to use one 25-cent coin and one 10-cent coin it would be impossible to use 4-cent coins for the balance of 6 cents, whereas a person or a more sophisticated algorithm could make change for 41 cents with one 25-cent coin and four 4-cent coins. Active 2 years, 7 months ago. Coin Changing Problem Some coin denominations say, 1;5;10 ;20 ;50 Want to make change for amount S using smallest number of coins. Given a set of coin denomination (1,5,10) the problem is to find minimum number of coins required to get a certain amount. Here, we will discuss how to use Greedy algorithm to making coin changes. If we are provided coins of ₹1, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20 (Yes, We've ₹20 coins :D) and we are asked to count ₹36 then the. For example, if a customer is owed 41 cents, the biggest first(i. There are many possible ways like using. Write a function to compute the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount. THINGS TO BE EXPLAINED: DP & Greedy Definition Of Coin Changing Example with explanation Time complexity Difference between DP & Greedy in Coin Change Problem 3. Whereas the correct answer is 3 + 3. 67, it only counts change for $45. However, the greedy algorithm, as a simpler. The coin change problem is a well studied problem in Computer Science, and is a popular example given for teaching students Dynamic Programming. 1 cent coin, 3 cent coin, 6 cent coin) for which the greedy algorithm does not yield an. It is a general case of Integer Partition, and can be solved with dynamic programming. Let's take a look at the coin change problem. Coins available are: dollars (100 cents) quarters (25. 1p, x, and less than 2x but more than x. Greedy and dynamic programming solutions. Like other typical Dynamic Programming(DP) problems , recomputations of same subproblems can be avoided by constructing a temporary array table[][] in bottom up manner. Suppose we want to make a change for a target value = 13. Given an integer X between 0 and 99, making change for X involves nding coins that sum to X using the least number of coins. Problem: Making 29-cents change with coins {1, 5, 10, 25, 50} A 5-coin solution. has these coins: half dollar (50 cents), quarter (25), dime (10), nickel (5), and penny (1). Greedy Algorithms and the Making Change Problem Abstract This paper discusses the development of a model which facilitates the understanding of the 'Making Change Problem,' an algorithm which aims to select a quantity of change using as few coins as possible. If the amount cannot be made up by any combination of the given coins, return -1. Smaller problem 1: Find minimum number of coin to make change for the amount of$(j − v 1) Smaller problem 2: Find minimum number of coin to make change for the amount of $(j − v 2) Smaller problem C: Find minimum number of coin to make change for the amount of$(j − v C). Earlier we have seen "Minimum Coin Change Problem". Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. Subtract value of found denomination from amount. The greedy algorithm is to pick the largest possible denomination. I'm trying to write (what I imagine is) a simple matlab script. There are a large number of pseudo-polynomial exact algorithms [6][10] solving this problem, including the one using dynamic pro-gramming [13]. Just use a greedy approach where you try largest coins whose value is less than or equal to the remaining that needs to be paid. Answer: { 1, 3, 4 } for 6 as change amount with minimum number of coins. A Polynomial-time Algorithm for the Change-Making Problem. Analyzing the run time for greedy algorithms will generally be much easier than for other techniques (like Divide and conquer). 2 Define coin change Problem. And therefore this greedy approach to solving the change problem will fail in Tanzania because there is a better way to change 40 cents, simply as 20 cents plus 20 cents, using Tanzanian 20 cents coin. This can reduce the total number of coins needed. 41 output: 4 and so on. Show that the greedy algorithm's measures are at least as good as any solution's measures. Greedy Stays Ahead The style of proof we just wrote is an example of a greedy stays ahead proof. The change-making problem addresses the question of finding the minimum number of coins (of certain denominations) that add up to a given amount of money. Given a set of coin denomination (1,5,10) the problem is to find minimum number of coins required to get a certain amount. Thanks for contributing an answer to Code Review Stack Exchange!. In this tutorial we will learn about Coin Changing Problem using Dynamic Programming. Greedy Coin-change Algorithm. Brute force solution. Coin Changing 3 Coin Changing: Cashier's Algorithm Goal. Greedy Algorithm example coin change problem. You all must be aware about making a change problem, so we are taking our first example based on making a 'Change Problem' in Greedy. (I understand Dynamic Programming approach is better for this problem but I did that already). A Greedy algorithm is one of the problem-solving methods which takes optimal solution in each step. Now if we have to make a value of n using these coins, then we will check for the first element in the array (greedy choice) and if it is greater than n, we will move to the next element, otherwise take it. Coin change problem A problem exhibits optimal substructure if an optimal This property is a key ingredient of assessing the applicability of dynamic programming as well as greedy algorithms. There are four di erent coin combinations to get 15g (see Figure 1). (For A=29 the greedy algorithm gives wrong result. The old British system based on the halfpenny as the unit corresponds to coins 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 60, and that system is not greedy: 96 =. Think of a "greedy" cashier as one who wants to take, with each press, the biggest bite out of this problem as possible. A greedy algorithm is the one that always chooses the best solution at the time, with no regard for how that choice will affect future choices. Before writing this code, you must understand what is the Greedy algorithm and Fractional Knapsack problem. These types of optimization problems is often solved by Dynamic Programming or Greedy Algorithms. Given a set of coin denominations, find the minimum number of coins required to make a change for a target value. Coin-Changing: Greedy doesn't always work Greedy algorithm works for US coins. Greedy Choice Greedy Choice Property 1. 2 (due Nov 3) Consider the coin change problem with coin values 1,3,5. Greedy algorithms are used to solve optimization problems. And we are also allowed to take an item in fractional part. -Greedy: From the smallest coin, scan up until just before a value larger than the amount you are making change for. From lecture 3. Given an integer X between 0 and 99, making change for X involves nding coins that sum to X using the least number of coins. Counting Coins. 1 C k is largest coin such that amount > C k. Hints: You can solve this problem recursively, but you must optimize your solution to eliminate overlapping subproblems using Dynamic Programming if you wish to pass all test cases. Does the greedy algorithm always find an optimal solution?. This problem is to count to a desired value by choosing the least possible coins and the greedy approach forces the algorithm to pick the largest possible coin. Given a set of coins and a total money amount. The running-time of Knapsack is O(n²). We showed that the naive greedy solution used by cashiers everywhere is not actually a correct solution to this problem, and. The coin change problem fortunately does not require anything particularly clever, which is why it’s so often used as an introductory DP exercise. In the second example, the optimal solution is to grab the first three coins from row 3, the two coins from row 5, and (optionally) the coin in row 7. Minimum Coin Change Problem. Given 5 types of coins: 50-cent, 25-cent, 10-cent, 5-cent, and 1-cent. 1, 3, 5, or 8 • The costs are the cost of making change for the amount minus the value of the coin. Job Scheduling Problem; 4. These types of optimization problems is often solved by Dynamic Programming or Greedy Algorithms. Greedy works from largest to smallest. ~ Consider optimal way to change ck " x < ck+1: greedy takes coin k. Below are commonly asked greedy algorithm problems in technical interviews - Activity Selection Problem. the greedy solution and the optimal solution are the same. Coin Change Problem with Greedy Algorithm Let's start by having the values of the coins in an array in reverse sorted order i. Greedy algorithms determine minimum number of coins to give while making change. For example: V = {1, 3, 4} and making change for 6: Greedy gives 4 + 1 + 1 = 3 Dynamic gives 3 + 3 = 2. Solusi Optimal Coin Change Problem dengan Algoritma Greedy dan Dynamic Programming Conference Paper (PDF Available) · December 2011 with 839 Reads How we measure 'reads'. This is the most efficient , shortest and readable solution to this problem. Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Algorithm: Sort the array of coins in decreasing order. The following Python example demonstrates the make-change problem is solvable by a greedy. In the problems presented at the beginning of this post, the greedy approach was applicable since for each denomination, the denomination just smaller than it was a perfect divisor of it. Proof Let A kbe a maximum-size subset of mutually compatible activities in S. The change making problem is an optimization problem that asks "What is the minimum number of coins I need to make up a specific total?". I understand how the greedy algorithm for the coin change problem (pay a specific amount with the minimal possible number of coins) works - it always selects the coin with the largest denomination not exceeding the remaining sum - and that it always finds the correct solution for specific coin sets. The min-coin change problem can also be resolved with a greedy algorithm. Dynamic Programming. For example, if I put in 63 cents, it should give coin = [2 1 0 3]. Lo June 10, 2014 1 Greedy Algorithms 1. Analyzing the run time for greedy algorithms will generally be much easier than for other techniques (like Divide and conquer). Greedy Algorithm. It is also the most common variation of the coin change problem, a general case of partition in which, given the available denominations of. The input to the Change Making Problem is a sequence of positive integers [d1, d2, d3 dn] and T, where di represents a coin denomination and T is the target amount. Is there any generalized rule to decide if applying greedy algorithm on a problem will yield optimal solution or not? For example - some of the popular algorithm problems like the 'Coin Change' problem and the 'Traveling Salesman' problem can not be solved optimally from greedy approach. Example: Want change for 37 cents. You can state the make-change problem as paying a given amount (the change) using the least number of bills and coins among the available denominations. Algorithms: A Brief Introduction CSE235 Example Change-Making Problem For anyone who's had to work a service job, this is a familiar problem: we want to give change to a customer, but we want to minimize the number of total coins we give them. st755h4gr6ea, mt78vq9ywn6b, 2g4b776ofdqhs2b, 90jqv8de9k, 4emgwokfooaff, ndxlwxz087k, dvnkbwej9mgtp92, y5b6k8w79bi, kkkj7fh209tpupu, 6nybk3490nmu9z, 2smjrwz4iwri3, h9n4i2f9iq4u1, gxq8gaypkuxjg0y, rb7ygsouvp, yi05tgtw44, str1lse3vtd, iluylek74z, 7w48w7ky026nr, 2mxarz7l0sxv, eeqkgunnx7td2s, d7pxstf85xoswcw, bka9to38euq, 311oxzp4h67zt, 2w9ysffyn65dm35, 8zn81gcif7

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2335051/determine-all-convex-polyhedra-with-6-faces

# Determine all convex polyhedra with $6$ faces I want to determine all convex polyhedra with 6 faces (not necessarily regular). Based on the Euler characteristic, $v-e+f=2$, we know that $v-e+6=2$, or $v+4=e$. Let $n_i$ be the number of edges on the $i$th face. Then $\sum n_i=2e$. Each face has at least $3$ edges, so each $n_i \geq 3$. No face can have more than $5$ edges (because if there were a hexagonal face, it would have to meet $6$ other distinct faces, causing there to be more than $6$ total faces). So each $n_i \leq 5$. We know there are at least $5$ vertices, since the only convex polyhedron with $4$ vertices is the tetrahedron. Since no face has more than $5$ edges, no face has more than $5$ vertices. So there are at most $5 \cdot 6 = 30$ vertices, but this over counts. Each vertex is incident to at least $3$ faces, so is counted at least $3$ times. Thus we get the upper bound $v \leq 30/3=10$. Thus $5 \leq v \leq 10$ and using the Euler characteristic we get $9 \leq e \leq 14$, so $18 \leq 2e = \sum n_i \leq 28$. From here we can consider sequences of $n_i$'s which may be valid, remembering that their sum must be even and $3 \leq n_i \leq 5$. The possibilities are: 1. $(3,3,3,3,3,3)$ 2. $(3,3,3,3,3,5)$ 3. $(3,3,3,3,4,4)$ 4. $(3,3,3,3,5,5)$ 5. $(3,3,3,4,4,5)$ 6. $(3,3,3,5,5,5)$ 7. $(3,3,4,4,5,5)$ 8. $(3,4,4,4,4,5)$ 9. $(3,4,4,5,5,5)$ 10. $(3,5,5,5,5,5)$ 11. $(4,4,4,4,4,4)$ 12. $(4,4,4,4,5,5)$ 13. $(4,4,5,5,5,5)$ 1 is the triangular bipyramid, 2 is the pentagonal pyramid, 3 I don't know the name for but is realized in the image below by "popping out" a triangular face of the square pyramid. 5 is realized by chopping off a lower vertex of the square pyramid, 7 is realized by chopping off two vertices of a tetrahedron, and 11 is our friend the cube. My friends and I think the rest are not possible. Note that any pentagonal face must touch every other face. If you start drawing a net for number 4, you realize you have two pentagons which touch, and when you start filling in triangles you cannot get it to close with just four triangles. Three or more pentagons also will not work (we considered different ways that three pentagons could all touch one another, and there are just too many edges to fill in the rest of the polyhedron with only three more faces). This rules out 6, 9, 10, and 13. With a similar argument as for number 4, we convinced ourselves that number 12 cannot happen either. Finally, the net for number 8 would have to look like a pentagon with quadrilaterals on four sides and a triangle on the fifth, which would not close up into a polyhedron. Here are our questions: 1. Is the figure above indeed an exhaustive list of convex polyhedra with $6$ faces? Can this list be found anywhere? (Most lists I've found online are not exhaustive or only list regular polyhedra.) 2. Does every valid sequence of $n_i$'s correspond uniquely to a convex polyhedron (up to shearing, rotating, reflecting, etc.)? 3. Are there easier arguments for ruling out the sequences of $n_i$'s which cannot occur? The arguments we used (which I have not written rigorously here) rely on a lot of case analysis. • You are missing the case of (3,3,4,4,4,4). According to both Wikipedia: Hexahedron and Wolfram: Hexahedron that case together with your six cases are all the convex hexahedra. Jun 24, 2017 at 20:14 • I see, we did miss that one! Do you know how to show this must be all of them? – kccu Jun 24, 2017 at 21:14 At Canonical Polyhedra. you can get the seven hexahedra and their duals. These are your 11, 2, 1, 3, XX, 7, 4. You are missing the (3,3,4,4,4,4) case. Vertices {{-0.930617,0,-1.00},{0.930617,0,-1.00},{-0.57586,-0.997418,0.07181},{0.57586,-0.997418,0.07181},{-0.57586,0.997418,0.07181},{0.57586,0.997418,0.07181},{0,0,1.81162}}, with faces {{1,2,6,5},{1,3,4,2},{1,5,7,3},{2,4,7,6},{3,7,4},{5,6,7}}} Another view One way to prove you have all of them is to start with the pyramid / 5-wheel graph. The pentagon with points connected to the center. A polyhedral graph is a planar graph that is 3-connected (no set of 3 vertices that disconnects the graph). By repeated vertex splitting and merging, all n-faced polyhedra can be derived from the n-faced pyramid. You are missing the shape that merges two neighboring corners of a cube. This is Tutte's Wheel Theorem. Here is how the hexahedral graphs connect. Canonical Polyhedra has code and pictures. • So what I'm seeing is the cube (my #11), pentagonal pyramid (my #2), triangular bipyramid (my #1), tetragonal antiwedge? (my #3?), ??, ??, ??. I don't know names for the last three, but the second-to-last looks like my #7. We missed the third-to-last. So the last one must be my #5? I guess I can see it but it is difficult to make out. Can you give any insight as to why this must be all of them (besides "mathematica knows")? – kccu Jun 24, 2017 at 21:12

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2, is perhaps the most important theorem in calculus. View fundamental theorem of calculus.pdf from MATH 105 at Harvard University. Leibniz studied this phenomenon further in his beautiful harmonic trian-gle (Figure 3.10 and Exercise 3.25), making him acutely aware that forming difference sequences and sums of sequences are mutually inverse operations. 4.5 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus This section contains the most important and most frequently used theorem of calculus, THE Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Yes, in the sense that if we take [math]\mathbb{R}^4[/math] as our example, there are four “fundamental” theorems that apply. Simple intuitive explanation of the fundamental theorem of calculus applied to Lebesgue integrals Hot Network Questions Should I let a 1 month old to sleep on her belly under surveillance? Thus if a ball is thrown straight up into the air with velocity the height of the ball, second later, will be feet above the initial height. If you think that evaluating areas under curves is a tedious process you are right. 0. The second part of the fundamental theorem of calculus tells us that to find the definite integral of a function ƒ from to , we need to take an antiderivative of ƒ, call it , and calculate ()-(). If f is continous on [a,b], then f is integrable on [a,b]. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus now enables us to evaluate exactly (without taking a limit of Riemann sums) any definite integral for which we are able to find an antiderivative of the integrand. Using the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we have . The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of the derivative of a function with the concept of the function's integral.. After tireless efforts by mathematicians for approximately 500 years, new techniques emerged that provided scientists with the necessary tools to explain many phenomena. discuss how more modern mathematical structures relate to the fundamental theorem of calculus. The definite integral is defined not by our regular procedure but rather as a limit of Riemann sums.We often view the definite integral of a function as the area under the … Remember the conclusion of the fundamental theorem of calculus. Conclusion. When you're using the fundamental theorem of Calculus, you often want a place to put the anti-derivatives. That’s why they’re called fundamentals. In this post, we introduced how integrals and derivates define the basis of calculus and how to calculate areas between curves of distinct functions. Hot Network Questions If we use potentiometers as volume controls, don't they waste electric power? Math 3B: Fundamental Theorem of Calculus I. Dear Prasanna. Proof. Consider the following three integrals: Z e Z −1 Z e 1 1 1 dx, dx, and dx. Vectors. integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and then simplify. We being by reviewing the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Extreme Value Theorem both of which are needed later when studying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Note that the ball has traveled much farther. The third fundamental theorem of calculus. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1: Z 1 x −e x −1 x In the first integral, you are only using the right-hand piece of the curve y = 1/x. A slight change in perspective allows us to gain even more insight into the meaning of the definite integral. It’s the final stepping stone after all those years of math: algebra I, geometry, algebra II, and trigonometry. Each chapter reviews the concepts developed previously and builds on them. Apply and explain the first Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; Vocabulary Signed area; Accumulation function; Local maximum; Local minimum; Inflection point; About the Lesson The intent of this lesson is to help students make visual connections between a function and its definite integral. If f is continous on [a,b], then f is integrable on [a,b]. Using calculus, astronomers could finally determine distances in space and map planetary orbits. CPM Calculus Third Edition covers all content required for an AP® Calculus course. These forms are typically called the “First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus” and the “Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus”, but they are essentially two sides of the same coin, which we can just call the “Fundamental Theorem of Calculus”, or even just “FTC”, for short.. Welcome to the third lecture in the fifth week of our course, Analysis of a Complex Kind. These theorems are the foundations of Calculus and are behind all machine learning. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2 (also known as the evaluation theorem) states that if we can find an antiderivative for the integrand, then we can evaluate the definite integral by evaluating the antiderivative at the endpoints of the interval and subtracting. Section 17.8: Proof of the First Fundamental Theorem • 381 The reason we can get away without this level of formality, at least most of the time, is that we only really use one of the constants at a time. Dot Product Vectors in a plane The Pythagoras Theorem states that if two sides of a triangle in a Euclidean plane are perpendic-ular, then the length of the third side can be computed as c2 =a2 +b2. Activity 4.4.2. The fundamentals are important. The Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus Indefinite integrals are just half the story: the other half concerns definite integrals, thought of as limits of sums. Discov-ered independently by Newton and Leibniz during the late 1600s, it establishes a connection between derivatives and integrals, provides a way to easily calculate many definite integrals, and was a key … The all-important *FTIC* [Fundamental Theorem of Integral Calculus] provides a bridge between the definite and indefinite worlds, and permits the power of integration techniques to bear on applications of definite integrals. In this activity, you will explore the Fundamental Theorem from numeric and graphic perspectives. The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of the derivative of a function with the concept of the integral.. 1.1 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1: If fis continuous on [a;b] then F(x) = R x a f(t)dtis continuous on [a;b] and di eren- tiable on (a;b) and its derivative is f(x). The first part of the theorem, sometimes called the first fundamental theorem of calculus, is that the definite integration of a function is related to its antiderivative, and can be reversed by differentiation. A significant portion of integral calculus (which is the main focus of second semester college calculus) is devoted to the problem of finding antiderivatives. The first part of the theorem, sometimes called the first fundamental theorem of calculus, shows that an indefinite integration [1] can be reversed by a differentiation. While limits are not typically found on the AP test, they are essential in developing and understanding the major concepts of calculus: derivatives & integrals. Pre-calculus is the stepping stone for calculus. Why we need DFT already we have DTFT? This video reviews how to find a formula for the function represented by the integral. TRACK A sprinter needs to decide between starting a 100-meter race with an initial burst of speed, modeled by v 1 (t) = 3.25t − 0.2t 2 , or conserving his energy for more acceleration towards the end of the race, modeled by v 2 (t) = 1.2t + 0.03t 2 , ANSWER: 264,600 ft2 25. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of mathematics. Now all you need is pre-calculus to get to that ultimate goal — calculus. Find the derivative of an integral using the fundamental theorem of calculus. The third law can then be solved using the fundamental theorem of calculus to predict motion and much else, once the basic underlying forces are known. Yes and no. The third theme, on the use of digital technology in calculus, exists because (i) mathematical software has the potential to restructure what and how calculus is taught and learnt and (ii) there are many initiatives that essentially incorporate digital technology in the teaching and learning of calculus. Get some intuition into why this is true. It has gone up to its peak and is falling down, but the difference between its height at and is ft. The third fundamental theorem of calculus. So you'll see me using that notation in upcoming lessons. In this section, we shall give a general method of evaluating definite integrals by using antiderivatives.

# Math Help - Problem 28 1. ## Problem 28 Proposition 1: If $x+y+z=1$ then $xy+yz+xz<1/2$ Q1. Prove Proposition 1 is true Q2. Prove Proposition 1 is false There is a Q3 for when Q1 and Q2 have been settled. RonL 2. If $x,y,z\in\mathbf{R}$ then $1=(x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+xz+yz)\Rightarrow$ $\Rightarrow 2(xy+xz+yz)=1-(x^2+y^2+z^2)<1\Rightarrow$ $\displaystyle \Rightarrow xy+xz+yz<\frac{1}{2}$. So the proposition is true. If $x,y,z\in\mathbf{C}$ then let $x=i,y=-i,z=1$. Then $\displaystyle xy+xz+yz=1>\frac{1}{2}$. So the proposition is false. 3.

The inequality $x^2+y^2+z^2\geq xy+yz+zx$ can be proved like this: Multiplying with 2, the inequality is equivalent to $2x^2+2y^2+2z^2\geq 2xy+2yz+2zx\Leftrightarrow$ $\Leftrightarrow (x^2-2xy+y^2)+(y^2-2yz+z^2)+(z^2-2zx+x^2)\geq 0\Leftrightarrow$ $\Leftrightarrow (x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2\geq 0$. 14. According to AM-GM, $\frac{x^2+y^2}{2} \ge xy$. Do the same for the other pairs of variables and add to get the desired inequality.

# Composite Simpson's rule vs Trapezoidal on integrating $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2x dx$ A simple question comparing both methods for numerical integration for a very specific case. We expect the Simpsons rule to have a smaller error than the trapezoidal method, but if we want to calculate $$\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^2x dx$$ with $$n=5$$ equidistant points, we have for the trapezoidal rule (not an efficient code, didactic purposes only): % MATLAB code x = linspace(0,2*pi,5); % domain discretization y = sin(x).^2; % function values h = x(2)-x(1); % step w_trapz = [1 2 2 2 1]; % weights for composite trapezoidal rule w_simps = [1 4 2 4 1]; % weights for composite simpson rule I_trapz = sum(y.*w_trapz)*h/2; % numerical integration trapezoidal I_simps = sum(y.*w_simps)*h/3; % numerical integration simpsons The exact answer for this integral is $$\pi$$ and we check that: I_trapz = 3.1416 I_simp = 4.1888 So, for this particular case, the trapezoidal rule was better. What is reason for that? Note that the error term in the Composite Simpson's rule is $$\varepsilon=-\frac{b-a}{180}h^4f^{(4)}(\mu)$$ for some $$\mu\in(a,b)$$ while the error term for the Composite Trapezoidal rule is $$\varepsilon=-\frac{b-a}{12}h^2f^{(2)}(\mu)$$ Evaluating the second and forth derivatives of $$f(x)=\sin^2(x)$$, and noticing $$b-a=2\pi$$ and $$h=\pi/2$$, the error term for each of the numerical techniques is: $$\varepsilon_{Simpson}=-\frac{2\pi}{180}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^4\left(-8\cos2\mu\right)\\ \varepsilon_{Trapz}=-\frac{2\pi}{12}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^2\left(2\cos2\mu\right)$$ We estimate the maximum error in each approximation by finding the maximum absolute value the error term can obtain. Since in both approximations we have $$\cos(2\mu)$$ and $$\mu\in(0,2\pi)$$, then $$\max{|\cos(2\mu)|}=1$$, and we have $$\max{\left|\varepsilon_{Simpson}\right|}=\frac{2\pi}{180}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^4\left(8\right)=\frac{\pi^5}{180}\approx1.70\\ \max{\left|\varepsilon_{Trapz}\right|}=\frac{2\pi}{12}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^2\left(2\right)=\frac{\pi^3}{12}\approx2.58$$ We see the error term is smaller for the Simpson method than that for the Trapezoidal method. However, in this case, the trapezoidal rule gave the exact result of the integral, while the Simpson rule was off by $$\approx1.047$$ (about 33% wrong). Why is that? Does it have to do with the number of points in the discretization, with the function being integrated or is it just a coincidence for this particular case? We observe that increasing the number of points utilized, both methods perform nearly equal. Can we say that for a small number of points, the trapezoidal method will perform better than the Simpson method? • already fixed the typo. thanks Jun 6 '19 at 16:52 Another point of view is the sampling theorem, as the integrated function is periodic and integrated over 2 periods. The limit frequency of $$\sin^2x =\frac12(1-\cos2x)$$ is $$2$$, so with 4 sub-intervals you are at the minimal sampling frequency. If you write $$S(h)=\frac{4T(h)-T(2h)}3$$ as per Richardson extrapolation, then the term $$T(2h)$$ is under-sampled with only 2 sub-intervals, inviting substantial aliasing errors. The Simpson method just "does not see" the correct function. A more regular error behavior should, by this logic, be visible in the next refinements with 8 or 12 sub-intervals in the subdivision of the integration interval. Old question, but since the right answer hasn't yet been posted... The real reason for the trapezoidal rule having smaller error than Simpson's rule is that it performs spectacularly when integrating regular periodic functions over a full period. There are $$2$$ ways to explain this phenomenon: First we can start with \begin{align}\int_0^1f(x)dx&=\left.\left(x-\frac12\right)f(x)\right|_0^1-\int_0^1\left(x-\frac12\right)f^{\prime}(x)dx\\ &=\left.B_1(x)f(x)\right|_0^1-\int_0^1B_1(x)f^{\prime}(x)dx\\ &=\frac12\left(f(0)+f(1)\right)-\left.\frac12B_2(x)f^{\prime}(x)\right|_0^1+\frac12\int_0^1B_2(x)f^{\prime\prime}(x)dx\\ &=\frac12\left(f(0)+f(1)\right)-\frac12B_2\left(f^{\prime}(1)-f^{\prime}(0)\right)+\frac12\int_0^1B_2(x)f^{\prime\prime}(x)dx\\ &=\frac12\left(f(0)+f(1)\right)-\sum_{n=2}^{2N}\frac{B_n}{n!}\left(f^{(n-1)}(1)-f^{(n-1)}(0)\right)+\int_0^1\frac{B_{2N}(x)}{(2n)!}f^{(2N)}(x)dx\end{align} Where $$B_n(x)$$ is the $$n^{\text{th}}$$ Bernoulli polynomial and $$B_n=B_n(1)$$ is the $$n^{\text{th}}$$ Bernoulli number. Since $$B_{2n+1}=0$$ for $$n>0$$, we also have \begin{align}\int_0^1f(x)dx=\frac12\left(f(0)+f(1)\right)-\sum_{n=1}^{N}\frac{B_{2n}}{(2n)!}\left(f^{(2n-1)}(1)-f^{(2n-1)}(0)\right)+\int_0^1\frac{B_{2N}(x)}{(2n)!}f^{(2N)}(x)dx\end{align} That leads to the trapezoidal rule with correction terms \begin{align}\int_a^bf(x)dx&=\sum_{k=1}^m\int_{a+(k-1)h}^{a+kh}f(x)dx\\ &=\frac h2\left(f(a)+f(b)\right)+h\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}f(a+kh)-\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{h^{2n}B_{2n}}{(2n)!}\left(f^{2n-1}(b)-f^{2n-1}(a)\right)\\ &\quad+\int_a^b\frac{h^{2N}B_{2N}(\{x\})}{(2N)!}f^{2N}(x)dx\end{align} Since we are assuming $$f(x)$$ has period $$b-a$$ and all of its derivatives are continuous, the correction terms all add up to zero and we are left with \begin{align}\int_a^bf(x)dx&=\frac h2\left(f(a)+f(b)\right)+h\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}f(a+kh)+\int_a^b\frac{h^{2N}B_{2N}(\{x\})}{(2N)!}f^{2N}(x)dx\end{align} So the error is $$O(h^{2N})$$ for some possibly big $$N$$, the only limitation being that the product of the Bernoulli polynomial and the derivative starts to grow faster than $$h^{-2N}$$. The other way to look at it is to consider that $$f(x)$$, being periodic and regular, can be represented by a Fourier series $$f(x)=\frac{a_0}2+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(a_n\cos\frac{2\pi n(x-a)}{b-a}+b_n\sin\frac{2\pi n(x-a)}{b-a}\right)$$ Since it's periodic, $$f(a)=f(b)$$ and the trapezoidal rule computes $$\int_a^bf(x)dx\approx h\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}f(a+kh)$$ Since $$\sin\alpha\left(k+\frac12\right)-\sin\alpha\left(k-\frac12\right)=2\cos\alpha k\sin\alpha/2$$, if $$m$$ is not a divisor of $$n$$, \begin{align}\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\cos\frac{2\pi nkh}{b-a}&=\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\cos\frac{2\pi nk}m=\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\frac{\sin\frac{2\pi n}m(k+1/2)-\sin\frac{2\pi n}m(k-1/2)}{2\sin\frac{\pi n}m}\\ &=\frac{\sin\frac{2\pi n}m(m-1/2)-\sin\frac{2\pi n}m(-1/2)}{2\sin\frac{\pi n}m}=0\end{align} If $$m$$ is a divisor of $$n$$, then $$\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\cos\frac{2\pi nkh}{b-a}=\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\cos\frac{2\pi nk}m=m$$ Since $$\cos\alpha\left(k+\frac12\right)-\cos\alpha\left(k-\frac12\right)=-2\sin\alpha k\sin\alpha/2$$, if $$m$$ is not a divisor of $$n$$, \begin{align}\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\sin\frac{2\pi nkh}{b-a}&=\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\sin\frac{2\pi nk}m=-\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\frac{\cos\frac{2\pi n}m(k+1/2)-\cos\frac{2\pi n}m(k-1/2)}{2\sin\frac{\pi n}m}\\ &=-\frac{\cos\frac{2\pi n}m(m-1/2)-\cos\frac{2\pi n}m(-1/2)}{2\sin\frac{\pi n}m}=0\end{align} And even if $$m$$ is a divisor of $$n$$n $$\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\sin\frac{2\pi nkh}{b-a}=\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}\sin\frac{2\pi nk}m=0$$ So the trapezoidal rule produces $$\int_a^bf(x)dx\approx(b-a)\left(\frac{a_0}2+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{mn}\right)$$ Since the exact answer is $$\int_a^bf(x)dx=(b-a)a_0/2$$ we see that the effect of the trapezoidal rule in this case is to approximate the function $$f(x)$$ by its $$2n-1$$ 'lowest energy' eigenfunctions and integrate the approximation. This is pretty much what Gaussian integration does so it's amusing to compare the two for periodic and nonperiodic functions.

Simpson's rule is not as good because it averages in a trapezoidal rule approximation that uses fewer data points. Romberg's rule, usually pretty reliable, is even worse than Simpson, and for the same reason. How about $$\int_0^1\frac{dx}{1+x^2}=\frac{\pi}4=0.78539816339744828$$ $$\begin{array}{c|cccc}N&\text{Trapezoidal}&\text{Simpson}&\text{Romberg}&\text{Gauss}\\ \hline 3&0.77500000000000002&0.78333333333333333&0.78333333333333333&0.78526703499079187\\ 5&0.78279411764705875&0.78539215686274499&0.78552941176470581&0.78539815997118823\\ 9&0.78474712362277221&0.78539812561467670&0.78539644594046842&0.78539816339706148\\ 17&0.78523540301034722&0.78539816280620556&0.78539816631942927&0.78539816339744861\\ 33&0.78535747329374361&0.78539816338820911&0.78539816340956103&0.78539816339744795 \end{array}$$ This is a pretty hateful integral because its derivatives grow pretty fast in the interval of integration. Even here Romberg isn't really any better that Simpson and now the trapezoidal rule is lagging far behind but Gaussian quadrature is still doing well. Finally an easy one: $$\int_0^1e^xdx=e-1=1.7182818284590451$$ $$\begin{array}{c|cccc}N&\text{Trapezoidal}&\text{Simpson}&\text{Romberg}&\text{Gauss}\\ \hline 3&1.7539310924648253&1.7188611518765928&1.7188611518765928&1.7182810043725216\\ 5&1.7272219045575166&1.7183188419217472&1.7182826879247577&1.7182818284583916\\ 9&1.7205185921643018&1.7182841546998968&1.7182818287945305&1.7182818284590466\\ 17&1.7188411285799945&1.7182819740518920&1.7182818284590782&1.7182818284590460\\ 33&1.7184216603163276&1.7182818375617721&1.7182818284590460&1.7182818284590444 \end{array}$$ This is the order we expect: Gauss is pretty much exact at $$9$$ data points, Romberg at $$33$$, with Simpson's rule and the trapezoidal rule bringing up the rear because they aren't being served the grapefruit of a periodic integrand. Hope the longish post isn't considered off-topic. Is the plague over yet? • That was a good answer and I really liked the code, will use some of that :) Mar 20 '20 at 8:09 In the last line of your code, you have h/2. It should be h/3. You also are using the trapezoid weights instead of the simpson's weights. In fact, I can't figure out why your two results are different at all, since the calculations in the last two lines are identical. • Sorry for that. I actually typed it wrong here. The code is actually correct. Fixed the typo. Jun 6 '19 at 14:49 For this value of $$h$$, the terms $$f''(\xi)$$ or $$f^{(4)}(\xi)$$ in the error formula can become dominant. If for the trapezoidal rule $$f''(\xi)$$ is small in comparison with $$f^{(4)}(\xi)$$ for Simpson's rule, you can have this effect. Also, if the integrand function is not regular enough this can happen (not the case here). Regarding your error estimates, remember that they are upper bounds for the error. Just because the maximum error is larger for the trapezoidal rule, it does not mean that the same will happen with the actual error. • Is there any guides to observe that "for a (given) value of h, the error can become dominant" or is it case dependent? Jun 6 '19 at 14:51 • @Thales When $h$ isn't small, $h^2$ or $h^4$ can be of the same magnitude (or even larger) than $\|f''\|_{\infty}$ and $\|f^{(4)}\|_{\infty}$. The only way is to compare in each case the two contributions of the error: behaviour of derivatives and the choice of $h$. Jun 6 '19 at 14:55

Together with a PDE, we usually have specified some boundary conditions, where the value of the solution or its derivatives is specified along the boundary of a region, and/or someinitial conditions where the value of the solution or its derivatives is specified for some initial time. Up: Heat equation. The LibreTexts libraries are Powered by MindTouch® and are supported by the Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot Project, the UC Davis Office of the Provost, the UC Davis Library, the California State University Affordable Learning Solutions Program, and Merlot. In this case, we are solving the equation, $u_t=ku_{xx}~~~~ {\rm{with}}~~~u_x(0,t)=0,~~~u_x(L,t)=0,~~~{\rm{and}}~~~u(x,0)=f(x).$, Yet again we try a solution of the form $$u(x,t)=X(x)T(t)$$. The only way heat will leave D is through the boundary. specific heat of the material and ‰ its density (mass per unit volume). We are solving the following PDE problem: $u_t=0.003u_{xx}, \\ u(0,t)= u(1,t)=0, \\ u(x,0)= 50x(1-x) ~~~~ {\rm{for~}} 00 (4.1) subject to the initial and boundary conditions We use Separation of Variables to find a general solution of the 1-d Heat Equation, including boundary conditions. where $$k>0$$ is a constant (the thermal conductivity of the material). A PDE is said to be linear if the dependent variable and its derivatives appear at most to the first power and in no functions. The plot of $$u(x,t)$$ confirms this intuition. In other words, the Fourier series has infinitely many derivatives everywhere. . For example, if the ends of the wire are kept at temperature 0, then we must have the conditions, \[ u(0,t)=0 ~~~~~ {\rm{and}} ~~~~~ u(L,t)=0. Heat Equation with boundary conditions. Let us write $$f$$ using the cosine series, \[f(x)= \frac{a_0}{2} + \sum^{\infty}_{n=1} a_n \cos \left( \frac{n \pi}{L} x \right).$.

The approximation gets better and better as $$t$$ gets larger as the other terms decay much faster. We will write $$u_t$$ instead of $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}$$, and we will write $$u_{xx}$$ instead of $$\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}$$. Eventually, all the terms except the constant die out, and you will be left with a uniform temperature of $$\frac{25}{3} \approx{8.33}$$ along the entire length of the wire. With this notation the heat equation becomes, For the heat equation, we must also have some boundary conditions.

To show that a two-variable function is convex, we can use the hessiam matrix and the determinants. But the function is linear the matrix is the zero matrix. What can I do in this case? Hi! Is the Hessian matrix positive semi-definite? Or put otherwise, does the condition $x^T H x \ge 0$ hold for any non-zero vector $x$? #### mathmari ##### Well-known member MHB Site Helper Re: show that a linear function is convex Hi! Is the Hessian matrix positive semi-definite? Or put otherwise, does the condition $x^T H x \ge 0$ hold for any non-zero vector $x$? for example for the function $f=ln((1+x+y)^2)$, the hessian matrix is $H=[-\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}, -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}; -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}, -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}]$. The determinants of its subarrays are $D1=|-\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}|=-\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}<0$ and $D=|H|=0$. So the matrix is negative semi definite. If all determinants were <0 (not equal),then it would be negative definite. But if we have the linear function $x+2y-5$,the hessian matrix is the zero matrix...so all the determinants of the subarrays are equal to zero. So we cannot know if it is positive or negative definite, can we? #### Klaas van Aarsen ##### MHB Seeker Staff member Re: show that a linear function is convex for example for the function $f=ln((1+x+y)^2)$, the hessian matrix is $H=[-\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}, -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}; -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}, -\frac{2}{(1+x+y)^2}]$.

If all determinants were <0 (not equal),then it would be negative definite. Yep. (Although you should leave out the absolute value symbols for $D1$. ) But if we have the linear function $x+2y-5$,the hessian matrix is the zero matrix...so all the determinants of the subarrays are equal to zero. So we cannot know if it is positive or negative definite, can we? Positive definite requires $>0$, which is not the case. Similarly negative definite requires $<0$, which is also not the case. So if the hessian matrix is the zero matrix it is neither positive definite nor negative definite. However, it is both positive semi-definite and negative semi-definite. #### mathmari ##### Well-known member MHB Site Helper Re: show that a linear function is convex However, it is both positive semi-definite and negative semi-definite. so do we conlude that the function is both concave and convex?? #### Klaas van Aarsen ##### MHB Seeker Staff member Re: show that a linear function is convex so do we conlude that the function is both concave and convex??

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3154699/how-many-possible-factorizations-are-there-for-a-square-matrix-and-how-can-we-k/3154706

# How many possible factorizations are there for a square matrix, and how can we know? Given a square matrix A, how many possible factorization CB=A is there, and how can this number be calculated? I understand that there are many ways of decomposing a matrix that yields matrix multiplications with special properties (e.g., A = LU, etc.), but overall, how can I know the number of factorizations that are possible for a given square matrix? Put differently, is there an indefinite number of factorizations that are not necessarily relying on neat matrices (e.g., operations over identity matrices, inverse matrices, triangular, etc.) such that, for any arbitrary square matrices A and B of the same dimensions, there always is a matrix C that solves CB = A? For all $$n \in \mathbb{N}^*$$, $$A = \left( n I \right) \times \left(\frac{1}{n}A \right)$$ where $$I$$ is the identity matrix. • Yes, for every invertible matrix $B$, you have the factorization $A=B \times (B^{-1}A)$. – TheSilverDoe Mar 19 at 22:31

https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/121735/conditions-for-applying-case-3-of-master-theorem

Conditions for applying Case 3 of Master theorem In Introduction to Algorithms, Lemma 4.4 of the proof of the master theorem goes like this. $$a\geq1$$, $$b>1$$, $$f$$ is a nonnegative function defined on exact powers of b. The recurrence relation for $$T$$ is $$T(n) = a T(n/b) + f(n)$$ for $$n=b^i$$, $$i>0$$. For the third case, we have $$f(n) = \Omega(n^{\log_ba +\epsilon})$$ for some fixed $$\epsilon>0$$ and that $$af(n/b)\leq cf(n)$$ for fixed $$c<1$$ and for all sufficiently large $$n$$. In this case, $$T(n) =\Theta(f(n))$$ since $$f(n) = \Omega(n^{\log_ba +\epsilon})$$. I was wondering if the condition that $$f(n) = \Omega(n^{\log_ba +\epsilon})$$ is unnecessary since the regularity condition $$af(n/b)\leq cf(n)$$ for all $$n>n_0$$ for fixed $$c<1$$ and for some $$n_0$$ implies that \begin{align*} f(n)&\geq m\left(\frac{a}{c}\right)^{\log_b(n/n_0)} \text{ where } m=\min_{1\leq x\leq n_0}{f(x)}\\&\ge\left(\frac{n}{n_0}\right)^{\log_b(a/c)}=\Theta(n^{\log_ba +\log_b(c^{-1})})=\Theta(n^{\log_ba +\epsilon}). \end{align*} This will hold as long as $$f(n)$$ is non-zero. Hence $$f(n)=\Omega(n^{\log_ba +\epsilon})$$. Therefore we merely need to add the condition that $$f(n)$$ is positive for all but finitely many values of $$n$$ for case 3. Am I correct about this? • You seem to be right. Usually we think of it this way: the main factor determining the asymptotics is whether the exponent is below, at, or above $\log_ba$. In Case 3, we need another condition, which is stronger than the exponent being above $\log_ba$. Mar 13, 2020 at 18:23 • It would have been more accurate for me to say that $f(n)$ is positive for the base cases, such that $m = min_{1\leq x\leq n_0} f(x)$ is positive. Since if m=0, $f(n)$ can be of any size (even if positive). Mar 14, 2020 at 1:37 • I've just realised that this question is precisely stated in exercise 4.6-3 that directly follows the chapter in CLRS. Jun 27, 2020 at 9:11 Yes, your sharp observation is completely correct. To be compatible with the highly strict style shown at section 4.6, Proof of the master theorem of Introduction to Algorithms, here is the complete proposition and a slightly more rigorous proof. It seems that the proof in the question ignores the requirement that $$f$$ is defined only on exact powers of $$b$$. (Regularity implies lower-bounded by a greater-exponent polynomial.) Let $$a\geq1$$, $$b>1$$ and $$f$$ be a nonnegative function defined on exact powers of $$b$$. Suppose $$af(\frac nb)\leq cf(n)$$ for some fixed $$c<1$$ and for all sufficiently large $$n$$. Furthermore, $$0 < f(n)$$ for all sufficiently large $$n$$. Then $$f(n) = \Omega(n^{log_ba +\epsilon})$$ for some fixed $$\epsilon>0$$. Proof. There exists some $$n_0>0$$ such that $$af(\frac nb)\leq cf(n)$$ and $$0 < f(n)$$ for all $$n\ge n_0$$. We can assume $$n_0$$ is an exact power of $$b$$ since, otherwise, we can replace $$n_0$$ by $$b^{\lceil\log_b{n_0}\rceil}$$. Let $$n\ge n_0$$ be an exact power of $$b$$. So $$n = n_0b^m$$, where $$m=\log_b\frac n{n_0}$$ is an integer since both $$n$$ and $$n_0$$ are exact powers of $$b$$. Applying $$af(k/b)\leq cf(k)$$ multiple times, we get $$f(n) \ge \frac acf(\frac nb) \ge (\frac ac)^2f(\frac n{b^2})\ge \cdots \ge (\frac ac)^mf(\frac n{b^m})=(\frac ac)^mf(n_0)$$ Since $$(\frac ac)^m=(\frac ac)^{\log_b\frac n{n_0}} =(\frac n{n_0})^{\log_b\frac ac}=(\frac n{n_0})^{\log_ba-\log_bc}=c_0n^{log_ba+\epsilon}$$ where $$\epsilon=-\log_bc > 0$$ and $$c_0=(\frac1{n_0})^{log_ba +\epsilon}$$ are two constants, we have $$f(n) \ge c_0f(n_0)n^{log_ba +\epsilon}.$$ So, $$f(n)=\Omega(n^{log_ba +\epsilon}).\quad \checkmark$$ What happens if $$n$$ is not necessarily an exact power of b? The same result will hold if we replace $$\frac nb$$ by $$\lfloor \frac nb\rfloor$$ or $$\lceil \frac nb\rceil$$. The following is a version when $$\lfloor \frac nb\rfloor$$ is used. Let $$a\ge1$$, $$b>1$$ and $$f$$ be a nonnegative function defined on positive integers. Suppose $$af(\lfloor \frac nb\rfloor)\leq cf(n)$$ for some fixed $$c<1$$ and for all sufficiently large $$n$$. Furthermore, $$0 < f(n)$$ for all sufficiently large $$n$$. Then $$f(n) = \Omega(n^{log_ba +\epsilon})$$ for some fixed $$\epsilon>0$$. • If n is not an exact power of b, can we still prove the same result? Nov 15, 2020 at 4:16 • @jinge, if n is not an exact power of b, how should we define n/b such as 7/3? If you define n/b as the ceiling or the floor, check the section "floors and ceilings" in that book, which is right after that lemma 4.4. Nov 15, 2020 at 18:10 • Yes, I know the section in that book. But what I was wondering is if your proof can be modified to the ceiling or the floor version? Nov 16, 2020 at 7:08 • @jinge, please check my updated answer. Nov 18, 2020 at 4:35

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3054472/solving-an-equation-involving-complex-conjugates/3054475

# Solving an equation involving complex conjugates I have the following question and cannot seem to overcome how to contend with equations using $$z$$ and $$\bar z$$ together. For example, the below problem: Find the value of $$z \in \Bbb C$$ that verifies the equation: $$3z+i\bar z=4+i$$ For other operations that didn't include mixing $$z$$ and $$\bar z$$, I was able to manage by "isolating" $$z$$ on one side of the equation and finding the real and imaginary parts of the complex numbers (sorry if I'm not using the right terms, it's my first linear algebra course) I tried with wolfram and it didn't really help. PS: I'm new to this forum but if it's like other math forums where they send you to hell if you ask for "help with your homework", this "homework" I'm doing is on my own since my semester is over and I just wanted to explore other subjects in the book that weren't covered in class. • Have you tried picking a basis for $\mathbb{C}$, writing $z$ as a generic vector in that space using that basis, then solving for the components of $z$? I mean, ..., this is a linear algebra problem; why not "do the linear algebra thing" to it? – Eric Towers Dec 28 '18 at 2:29 Hint: Let $$z = x + iy$$, for $$x,y \in \mathbb{R}$$. Consequently, $$\bar{z} = x - iy$$. Make these substitutions into your equation and isolate all of the $$x$$ and $$y$$ terms on one side, trying to make it "look" like a number in that form above (I really don't know how else to describe it, my example below will be more illustrative). Equate the real and imaginary parts to get a system of equations in two variables ($$x,y$$) which you can solve get your solution. Similar Exercise To Show What I Mean: Let's solve for $$z$$ with $$iz + 2\bar{z} = 1 + 2i$$ Then, making our substitutions... \begin{align} iz + 2\bar{z} &= i(x + iy) + 2(x - iy) \\ &= ix + i^2 y + 2x - 2iy \\ &= ix - y + 2x - 2iy \\ &= (2x - y) + i(x - 2y) \\ \end{align} Thus, $$(2x - y) + i(x - 2y) = 1 + 2i$$ The real part of our left side is $$2x-y$$ and the imaginary part is $$x - 2y$$. On the right, the real and imaginary parts are $$1$$ and $$2$$ respectively. Then, we get a system of equations by equating real and imaginary parts! \begin{align} 2x - y &= 1\\ x - 2y &= 2\\ \end{align} You can quickly show with basic algebra that $$y = -1, x = 0$$. Our solution is a $$z$$ of the form $$z = x + iy$$. Thus, $$z = 0 + i(-1) = -i$$. One Final Tidbit: PS: I'm new to this forum but if it's like other math forums where they send you to hell if you ask for "help with your homework", this "homework" I'm doing is on my own since my semester is over and I just wanted to explore other subjects in the book that weren't covered in class. This forum doesn't mind helping you with homework, so long as you show you make a reasonable effort or at least have a clear understanding of the material. However, the goal is also to help you learn, so people tend to prefer nudges in the right direction if the context allows it, as opposed to just handing you the solution. (Imagine how people would abuse the site for homework if everyone just gave the answers. Not good, and not what math is about, you get me?) • Then, we get a system of equations by equating real and imaginary parts!” OH ! This is so cool, didn’t know this could be done, but it does make sense. That’s what I was missing, thank you! As for the way you answered my question without exactly giving me the answer, that’s really what I was trying to get, an explanation and a line of reasoning so that I could then achieve it on my own. I like the mentality on this forum a lot so far. Have a good day :) – Laura Salas Dec 29 '18 at 21:26 Another approach is to take the complex conjugate of your equation: $$3\overline z-iz=4-i.$$ You now have two equations for $$z$$ and $$\overline z$$. Now eliminate $$\overline z$$ from them and solve for $$z$$. • !! Also works, thank you. This is a shorter way to do it. – Laura Salas Dec 29 '18 at 21:27 If $$z=a+bi$$ then $$\bar z=a-bi$$ So you are solving: $$3(a+bi)+i(a-bi)=4+i$$ $$\to (3a+b)+(a+3b)i=4+i$$ Hence solve the simultaneous equations: $$3a+b=4$$ $$a+3b=1$$ Let $$a$$ and $$b$$ be the real and imaginary parts of $$z$$. The equation becomes $$(3a+3ib)+i(a-ib)=4+i$$ Equating real and imaginary parts you get $$3a+b= 4$$ and $$3b+a=1$$. Now you should be able to discover that $$a=\frac {11} 8$$ and $$b =-\frac 1 8$$, so $$z=\frac {11} 8-i\frac 1 8$$. • It’s $3a + 3ib$ in the first bracket of your first equation. – Live Free or π Hard Dec 28 '18 at 0:45 • @LiveFreeorπHard That was a typo. I had used $3a+3ib$ in the next step. Thanks anyway. – Kavi Rama Murthy Dec 28 '18 at 5:25

A subspace is a vector space that is contained within another vector space. So every subspace is a vector space in its own right, but it is also defined relative to some other (larger) vector space. We will discover shortly that we are already familiar with a wide variety of subspaces from previous sections. Here's the definition. Definition S (Subspace) Suppose that $V$ and $W$ are two vector spaces that have identical definitions of vector addition and scalar multiplication, and that $W$ is a subset of $V$, $W\subseteq V$. Then $W$ is a subspace of $V$. Lets look at an example of a vector space inside another vector space. Example SC3: A subspace of $\complex{3}$. ## Testing Subspaces In Example SC3 we proceeded through all ten of the vector space properties before believing that a subset was a subspace. But six of the properties were easy to prove, and we can lean on some of the properties of the vector space (the superset) to make the other four easier. Here is a theorem that will make it easier to test if a subset is a vector space. A shortcut if there ever was one. Theorem TSS (Testing Subsets for Subspaces) Suppose that $V$ is a vector space and $W$ is a subset of $V$, $W\subseteq V$. Endow $W$ with the same operations as $V$. Then $W$ is a subspace if and only if three conditions are met 1. $W$ is non-empty, $W\neq\emptyset$. 2. If $\vect{x}\in W$ and $\vect{y}\in W$, then $\vect{x}+\vect{y}\in W$. 3. If $\alpha\in\complex{\null}$ and $\vect{x}\in W$, then $\alpha\vect{x}\in W$. So just three conditions, plus being a subset of a known vector space, gets us all ten properties. Fabulous! This theorem can be paraphrased by saying that a subspace is "a non-empty subset (of a vector space) that is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication." You might want to go back and rework Example SC3 in light of this result, perhaps seeing where we can now economize or where the work done in the example mirrored the proof and where it did not. We will press on and apply this theorem in a slightly more abstract setting. Example SP4: A subspace of $P_4$. Much of the power of Theorem TSS is that we can easily establish new vector spaces if we can locate them as subsets of other vector spaces, such as the ones presented in Subsection VS.EVS:Vector Spaces: Examples of Vector Spaces. It can be as instructive to consider some subsets that are not subspaces. Since Theorem TSS is an equivalence (see technique E) we can be assured that a subset is not a subspace if it violates one of the three conditions, and in any example of interest this will not be the "non-empty" condition. However, since a subspace has to be a vector space in its own right, we can also search for a violation of any one of the ten defining properties in Definition VS or any inherent property of a vector space, such as those given by the basic theorems of Subsection VS.VSP:Vector Spaces: Vector Space Properties. Notice also that a violation need only be for a specific vector or pair of vectors. Example NSC2Z: A non-subspace in $\complex{2}$, zero vector. Example NSC2A: A non-subspace in $\complex{2}$, additive closure. There are two examples of subspaces that are trivial. Suppose that $V$ is any vector space. Then $V$ is a subset of itself and is a vector space. By Definition S, $V$ qualifies as a subspace of itself. The set containing just the zero vector $Z=\set{\zerovector}$ is also a subspace as can be seen by applying Theorem TSS or by simple modifications of the techniques hinted at in Example VSS. Since these subspaces are so obvious (and therefore not too interesting) we will refer to them as being trivial. Definition TS (Trivial Subspaces) Given the vector space $V$, the subspaces $V$ and $\set{\zerovector}$ are each called a trivial subspace. We can also use Theorem TSS to prove more general statements about subspaces, as illustrated in the next theorem. Theorem NSMS (Null Space of a Matrix is a Subspace) Suppose that $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix. Then the null space of $A$, $\nsp{A}$, is a subspace of $\complex{n}$. Here is an example where we can exercise Theorem NSMS. Example RSNS: Recasting a subspace as a null space. ## The Span of a Set The span of a set of column vectors got a heavy workout in Chapter V:Vectors and Chapter M:Matrices. The definition of the span depended only on being able to formulate linear combinations. In any of our more general vector spaces we always have a definition of vector addition and of scalar multiplication. So we can build linear combinations and manufacture spans. This subsection contains two definitions that are just mild variants of definitions we have seen earlier for column vectors. If you haven't already, compare them with Definition LCCV and Definition SSCV. Definition LC (Linear Combination) Suppose that $V$ is a vector space. Given $n$ vectors $\vectorlist{u}{n}$ and $n$ scalars $\alpha_1,\,\alpha_2,\,\alpha_3,\,\ldots,\,\alpha_n$, their linear combination is the vector \begin{equation*} \lincombo{\alpha}{u}{n}. \end{equation*} Example LCM: A linear combination of matrices. When we realize that we can form linear combinations in any vector space, then it is natural to revisit our definition of the span of a set, since it is the set of all possible linear combinations of a set of vectors. Definition SS (Span of a Set) Suppose that $V$ is a vector space. Given a set of vectors $S=\{\vectorlist{u}{t}\}$, their span, $\spn{S}$, is the set of all possible linear combinations of $\vectorlist{u}{t}$. Symbolically, \begin{align*} \spn{S}&=\setparts{\lincombo{\alpha}{u}{t}}{\alpha_i\in\complex{\null},\,1\leq i\leq t}\\ &=\setparts{\sum_{i=1}^{t}\alpha_i\vect{u}_i}{\alpha_i\in\complex{\null},\,1\leq i\leq t} \end{align*} Theorem SSS (Span of a Set is a Subspace) Suppose $V$ is a vector space. Given a set of vectors $S=\{\vectorlist{u}{t}\}\subseteq V$, their span, $\spn{S}$, is a subspace. Example SSP: Span of a set of polynomials. Let's again examine membership in a span. Example SM32: A subspace of $M_{32}$. Notice how Example SSP and Example SM32 contained questions about membership in a span, but these questions quickly became questions about solutions to a system of linear equations. This will be a common theme going forward. ## Subspace Constructions Several of the subsets of vectors spaces that we worked with in Chapter M:Matrices are also subspaces --- they are closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication in $\complex{m}$. Theorem CSMS (Column Space of a Matrix is a Subspace) Suppose that $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix. Then $\csp{A}$ is a subspace of $\complex{m}$. That was easy! Notice that we could have used this same approach to prove that the null space is a subspace, since Theorem SSNS provided a description of the null space of a matrix as the span of a set of vectors. However, I much prefer the current proof of Theorem NSMS. Speaking of easy, here is a very easy theorem that exposes another of our constructions as creating subspaces. Theorem RSMS (Row Space of a Matrix is a Subspace) Suppose that $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix. Then $\rsp{A}$ is a subspace of $\complex{n}$. One more. Theorem LNSMS (Left Null Space of a Matrix is a Subspace) Suppose that $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix. Then $\lns{A}$ is a subspace of $\complex{m}$. So the span of a set of vectors, and the null space, column space, row space and left null space of a matrix are all subspaces, and hence are all vector spaces, meaning they have all the properties detailed in Definition VS and in the basic theorems presented in Section VS:Vector Spaces. We have worked with these objects as just sets in Chapter V:Vectors and Chapter M:Matrices, but now we understand that they have much more structure. In particular, being closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication means a subspace is also closed under linear combinations.

# Does the set of convex combination of points in Cantor set contains a non empty open interval? $$\mathcal{C}$$ denote the cantor middle third set. $$\mathcal{C}_t=\{(1-t)x+ty : x, y\in \mathcal{C} \}$$ $$\mathcal{C}_0=\mathcal{C}_1=\mathcal{C}$$ and we can prove that that $$\mathcal{C}$$ contains no non empty open interval. What can be said for other $$t\in [0, 1]$$? Does it contains a non empty open interval ? Can you list some resources where I can find such type of problems? • Do you mean $\mathcal{C}_t=\{(1-t)x+ty : x, y\in \mathcal{C} \}$, with $t\in[0,1]$? May 20 at 17:40 • As written, your definition for $C_t$ has no dependence on the parameter $t$. I think you want to remove the $t \in [0,1]$ from the set-builder notation. – Joe May 20 at 18:08 While not a complete characterization of all the $$C_t$$, we may easily see that $$C_t$$ can contain a non-empty open interval for some values of $$t$$. Set $$t := \frac{1}{2}$$. Then we may compute: \begin{align} C_{1/2} & = \{\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}y : x,y \in C\} \\ & = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \{x + y : x,y \in C\}\\ & = \frac{1}{2} (C + C) \end{align} It’s easy to see from the “points in $$[0,1]$$ with ternary expansions consisting of only $$0$$s and $$2$$s” definition $$C$$ that $$C + C = [0,2]$$. Therefore $$C_{1/2} = [0,1]$$. EDIT: I gave it a little more thought, and we can say quite a bit. Let $$C^n$$ denote the $$n$$’th stage of the middle thirds construction of $$C$$, so that $$C = \bigcap_n C^n$$. I know this is non-standard notation, but I don’t want it to be confusing with $$C_t$$. For $$\alpha \in [0,1]$$, we may easy see that: $$C_{\alpha} = \bigcap_{n} [\alpha C^n + \beta C^n]$$ Where $$\beta = (1 - \alpha)$$. Set $$X^n := \alpha C^n + \beta C^n$$. What does $$X^n$$ look like as we vary $$\alpha$$? When $$\alpha \in \{0,1\}$$, we get that $$X^n = C^n$$, and we recover that $$C_0 = C_1 = C$$. When $$\alpha = \frac{1}{2}$$, we get that $$X^n = [0,1]$$, and we recover that $$C_{1/2} = [0,1]$$. What happens for $$\alpha \in (0, \frac{1}{2})$$? Well, we’ll have that $$C^n \subsetneq X^n$$. But we’ll also have that $$X^{n+1}$$ splits every interval in $$X^n$$. Hence we’ll end up with $$C_\alpha$$ being totally disconnected. Further, I believe that the measure of $$C_t$$ will monotonically increase as $$t$$ moves from $$0$$ to $$\frac{1}{2}$$, and then start monotonically decreasing again. EDIT EDIT: I no longer believe this last part because it contradicts the paper in the other answer. Can you list some resources where I can find such type of problems? Maybe this is of interest: Pawłowicz, Marta. Linear combinations of the classic Cantor set. Tatra Mt. Math. Publ. 56 (2013), 47–60. From Math Review: In this paper, linear combinations of classic Cantor sets are studied. The problem goes back to a result by Hugo Steinhaus [in Selected papers, 205–207, PWN, Warsaw, 1985], who proved in 1917 that $$C+C=[0,2]$$, where $$C$$ is the classic Cantor set and $$C+C=\{c_1+c_2; c_1,c_2∈C\}$$. This result was extended and generalized by several authors during the last hundred years. The main result of the present paper is the topological classification of linear combinations of $$C$$, i.e., sets of the form $$aC+bC=\{ac_1+bc_2; c_1,c_2∈C\}$$ where $$a,b∈R$$ are fixed. It is shown that this problem can be reduced to characterization of $$C+mC$$, where $$m∈(0,1)$$. This is given by the following theorem. Theorem 1. $$C+mC=\bigcup_{n=1}^{2^k}[l_k^{(n)} ,r_k^{(n)}+m],$$for all $$m∈(0,1)$$, where $$k$$ is such that $$m∈[\frac{1}{3^{k+1}},\frac{1}{3^k})$$, $$k∈N_0$$, where $$l_k^{(n)}$$ and $$r_k^{(n)}$$ are the left and right endpoints of the $$n$$-th component of the $$k$$-th iteration of the Cantor set.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2463421/diophantine-equation-with-three-variables

# Diophantine equation with three variables The question is: Nadir Airways offers three types of tickets on their Boston-New York flights. First-class tickets are \$140, second-class tickets are \$110, and stand-by tickets are \$78. If 69 passengers pay a total of$6548 for their tickets on a particular flight, how many of each type of ticket were sold? Now I set up my equation as $140x+110y+78z=6548$ But I'm confused how to go from here. I know I need to find the GCD in order to evaluate that the equation has a solution and then set up my formulas for $x=x_{0}+\frac{b}{d}(n)$ and $y=y_{0}-\frac{a}{d}(n)$ Ive solved Diophantine equations before but only in the form $ax+by=c$. How do I continue from here? I'm not interested in the solution, I can do that by myself, but I would like to know the process from solving these types of Diophantine equations. • Also $x+y+z=69$. I hope that you can find it. Have good days – scarface Oct 8 '17 at 19:32 • @scarface thank you! I can't believe I missed that, I feel so embarrassed for not realizing that. – user482578 Oct 8 '17 at 19:38 • $(x,y,z)=(9,19,41)$ – Donald Splutterwit Oct 8 '17 at 19:50 • After considering the sum of the passenger you should get $$31 x+16 y=583$$ – Raffaele Oct 8 '17 at 19:58 $140x+110y+78z=6548$ and $x + y + z = 69$ $\implies 78x + 78y + 78z = 69*78 = 5382$ $\implies 62x + 32y = 1166 \implies 31x + 16y = 69*78 = 583$ And we can quickly deduce that $x = 9, y = 19, z = 41$ (by simple inspection in my case - using that we only have integer values for $x,y,z$. If the $\gcd$ of the ticket prices does not divide the total revenue, then you are correct that there will be no integer solution. However you are not immediately guaranteed a solution if the $\gcd$ does divide the revenue, because we are constrained to non-negative numbers of tickets. So we could potentially run into a Frobenius-coin-type failure. Here the total number of tickets reduces this to a simple "two-coin" problem: \begin{align} &&140x+110y+78z &= 6548\\ \text{divide by }\gcd(x,y,z)=2&& 70x+55y+39z &= 3274\\ &&x+y+z &= 69\\ \text{multiply by }39 && 39x+39y+39z &= 2691\\ \text{subtract eqns} && 31x+16y &= 583\\ \bmod 16 && 31x\equiv 15x \equiv -1x&\equiv 583\equiv 7\\ \bmod 16 && x&\equiv -7\equiv 9\\ \text{test }x=25 && 31\cdot25 &= 775>583 \\ \text{thus }x=9 && 31\cdot 9 +16y&= 583 \\ && y= (583-279)/16 &= 19\\ && z= 69-(19+9) &= 41\\ \end{align} In the reduced equation $31x+16y = 583$, since $583>(31{-}1)\cdot (16{-}1)$ the coin problem issue could not apply - the total is big enough to guarantee a solution.

# Math Help - Calculating position on a circumference 1. ## Calculating position on a circumference Hello all, I hope someone is able to help me get my head round this little problem. If I have a circle that is centered at (200,200) and its radius is 150, how do I calculate the point at any given angle? For example, I know that at 90 degrees, the point on the circumference will be (350,200), because I can calculate that manually, but what about more arbitrary degrees like 92.5 or 108? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! 2. Originally Posted by gryphon5 Hello all, I hope someone is able to help me get my head round this little problem.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! If the angle is 90 degrees, the point is (350,200)? Do your angles start at the upper axis, the "North axis", then go clockwise? If your angles start from the normal "East axis" then go counterclockwise, then the point at 90 degrees should be (200,350). Whatever way you have there, for arbitrary angles/degrees, you just get the components of the 150-radius that are parallel to your axes. Let us say your angles start the usual East-axis, or positive x-axis, and then go counterclockwise. If the angle is 90 degrees, x = 200 +150cos(90deg) = 200 +0 = 200 y = 200 +150sin(90deg) = 200 +150 = 350 Hence, point (200,350). If the angle is 30 degrees, x = 200 +150cos(30deg) = 200 +129.9 = 329.9 y = 200 +150sin(30deg) = 200 +75 = 275 Hence, point (329.9,275). If the angle is 108 degrees, x = 200 +150cos(108deg) = 200 -46.35 = 153.65 y = 200 +150sin(108deg) = 200 +142.66 = 342.66 Hence, point (153.65,342.66). Etc.... 3. Thanks vry much for your fast response. Sorry for not including all the information, I should have stated... This problem is for a computer application to draw an image, and since computers treat (0,0) as the top left of the screen (with the angles going clockwise), this is what I have used. How would this change the examples you gave? Thanks again! 4. Originally Posted by gryphon5 Thanks vry much for your fast response.

This problem is for a computer application to draw an image, and since computers treat (0,0) as the top left of the screen (with the angles going clockwise), this is what I have used. How would this change the examples you gave? Thanks again! I see. Then here is the change. Let us call the vertical axis as y-axis also. The horizontal axis as x-axis also. The angles start from the upper or positive y-axis, going clockwise. Our coordinates are in the usual (x,y) ordered pair. If the angle is 30 degrees, y = 200 +150cos(30deg) = 200 +129.9 = 329.9 x = 200 +150sin(30deg) = 200 +75 = 275 Hence, point (275,329.9). If the angle is 108 degrees, y = 200 +150cos(108deg) = 200 -46.35 = 153.65 x = 200 +150sin(108deg) = 200 +142.66 = 342.66 Hence, point (342.66,342.66). If the angle is 92.5 degrees, y = 200 +150cos(92.5deg) =200 -6.54 = 193.46 x = 200 +150sin(92.5deg) = 200 +149.86 = 349.86 Hence, point (349.86,193.46). If the angle is 328.4 degrees, y = 200 +150cos(328.4deg) = 200 +127.76 = 327.76 x = 200 +150sin(328.4deg) = 200 -78.60 = 121.40 Hence, point (121.40,327.76). In other words, For the x-component of the radius, use sine. For the y-component of the radius, use cosine. It's the reverse if you're doing them in the usual manner where the angles start from the positive x-axis, going counterclockwise. 5. Hello, gryphon5!

# Determining Linearly Dependent Vectors I am learning about Linear dependent vector from here But I am unable to grasp the following equation: If no such scalars exist, then the vectors are to be linearly independent. $$c_1\begin{bmatrix}x_{11}\\x_{21}\\\vdots\\x_{n1}\\ \end{bmatrix}+c_2\begin{bmatrix}x_{12}\\x_{22}\\\vdots\\x_{n2}\\ \end{bmatrix}+\cdots+c_n\begin{bmatrix}x_{1n}\\x_{2n}\\\vdots\\x_{nn}\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\\vdots\\0\\ \end{bmatrix}\\ \begin{bmatrix}x_{11}&x_{12}&\cdots&x_{1n}\\x_{21}&x_{22}&\cdots&x_{2n}\\ \vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\x_{n1}&x_{n2}&\cdots&x_{nn}&\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}c_1\\c_2\\\vdots\\c_n\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0\\0\\\vdots\\0\end{bmatrix}$$ In order for this matrix equation to have a nontrivial solution, the determinant must be $0$ How the first equation is reduced to the second one? • What exactly are you asking? – user418131 Sep 18 '18 at 9:05 • How the first equation is reduced to the second one? – Cody Sep 18 '18 at 9:06 • Write a formula for the $i$-th entry of the vector above and below and you will see they are the same. – Michal Adamaszek Sep 18 '18 at 9:08 • By the use of matrix multiplication. – user418131 Sep 18 '18 at 9:08 • The first equation is actually equivalent to $n$ equations. Do you know how to interchange linear equations with an analogous matrix equation? – user418131 Sep 18 '18 at 9:10 $$\begin{bmatrix} x_{11} & x_{12} \\ x_{21} & x_{22} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} c_{1} \\ c_{2}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} c_{1}x_{11}+c_2x_{12} \\ c_{1}x_{21}+c_2x_{22} \end{bmatrix}=c_1\begin{bmatrix} x_{11} \\ x_{21}\end{bmatrix}+ c_2\begin{bmatrix} x_{21} \\ x_{22}\end{bmatrix}$$ Notice that $c_1$ is only multiplied to entries in the first column and $c_2$ is only multiplied to the entries in the second column. This results from the definition of scalar multiplication and addition of matrices: \begin{align} c_1\begin{bmatrix} x_{11}\\x_{21}\\\vdots\\x_{n1} \end{bmatrix}+c_2\begin{bmatrix} x_{12}\\x_{22}\\\vdots\\x_{n2} \end{bmatrix}+\dots +c_n\begin{bmatrix} x_{1n}\\x_{2n}\\\vdots\\x_{nn} \end{bmatrix} &= \begin{bmatrix} c_1x_{11}\\c_1x_{21}\\\vdots\\c_1x_{n1} \end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix} c_2x_{12}\\c_2x_{22}\\\vdots\\c_2x_{n2} \end{bmatrix}+\dots +\begin{bmatrix} c_nx_{1n}\\c_nx_{2n}\\\vdots\\c_nx_{nn} \end{bmatrix}\\[1ex] &= \begin{bmatrix} c_1x_{11}+c_2x_{12}+\dots+c_nx_{1n}\\c_1x_{21}+c_2x_{22}+\dots+c_nx_{2n}\\\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\\c_1x_{n1}+c_2x_{n2}+\dots+c_nx_{nn} \end{bmatrix} \end{align} • So we are essentially writing a set of linear equations in matrix form, right? – Cody Sep 18 '18 at 9:54 • It's exactly that. – Bernard Sep 18 '18 at 10:00 Recall that the product $A\vec c$ can be interpreted as the linear combination of the colums $\vec x_i$ of $A$ by the coordinates $c_i$ of $\vec c$ $$A\vec c =\sum c_i\vec x_i$$ Refer also to the related

We can see that the PID controller we designed works well in the face of uncertainty in estimated transfer function parameters. Hello, i am trying to make a bode plot of the transfer function of a twin-t notch filter, that i am analyzing. % There are some sample functions below that can be copied and pasted into the % proper location. h = subplot(m,n,p), or subplot(mnp) breaks the Figure window into an m-by-n matrix of small axes, selects the pth axes object for for the current plot, and returns the axis handle. The aperiodic pulse shown below: has a Fourier transform: X(jf)=4sinc(4πf) As shown in MATLAB Tutorial #2, we can plot the amplitude and phase spectrum of this signal. My First problem is actually inputting the transfer function into Matlab, It's the transfer function of a first order hold which is: [(1 + sT) / T] x [(1 - e^-sT) / s] x [(1 - e^-sT) / s]. frequency - y-axiith 20is is the 20•l f th it d f th t flog of the magnitude of the transfer function in dB and x-axis is ω - xx -axis isaxis is ωorfor f inlogscalein log scale dB log(f) or log(ω) EE40 Fall 2009 Prof. Transfer functions calculate a layer's output from its net input. In this example, we will draw two graphs with the same function, but in second time, we will reduce the value of increment. Hence, x-axis in your plot will only signify the total number of data points in FF_mag_nw. Such plots are known as pole-zero plots. magnitude of a step input. MATLAB plotting commands, you should become familiar with the following commands: • tf - This command is used to enter transfer functions. 5 (R2007b)] [Book]. This function creates arrows that go out from the origin of the axes in a polar coordinate system. A transfer function is represented by 'H(s)'. transfer function and impulse response are only used in LTI systems.

# For any two sets, $A - B = B - A$ implies $A = B$ Is the following statement True or False: For any two sets $A$ and $B$: If $A - B = B - A$ then $A = B$. If it is true, prove it, otherwise provide a counterexample. I am unable to come up with a counter example. I think the statement is true but how do I prove it? • Suppose $x \in A - B$. Then $x \in B-A$. In particular $x \in B$, contradiction. So $A - B = \emptyset$ i.e. $A \subset B$. Same argument shows $B - A = \emptyset$ i.e. $B \subset A$. – hunter Jun 23 '17 at 6:55 If $A-B=B-A$ then for any $x\in A-B=B-A$ we $x\in A;x\in B; x\not \in A; x\not \in B$. That's a contradiction so $A-B=B-A$ is empty. Thus there are no elements in $A$ that are not in $B$. In other words $A$ is a subset of $B$. Likewise there are no elements of $B$ that are in $A$. So $B$ is a subset of $A$. So $A=B$. If $A \setminus B = B \setminus A$, then $A=A \setminus B \cup (A\cap B)= B \setminus A \cup (B \cap A) = B$. Let’s use some Boolean algebra, in order to show a different point of view. Let $C=A\cup B$; for a subset $X$ of $C$, denote $X^c=C\setminus X$; thus $$A\setminus B=A\cap B^c,\qquad B\setminus A=B\cap A^c=A^c\cap B$$ Then \begin{align} A&=A\cap C && \text{because $A\subseteq C$} \\ &=A\cap (B\cup B^c) && \text{because $C=B\cup B^c$} \\ &=(A\cap B)\cup(A\cap B^c) && \text{distributivity} \\ &=(A\cap B)\cup(A^c\cap B) && \text{hypothesis} \\ &=(A\cup A^c)\cap B && \text{distributivity} \\ &=C\cap B && \text{because $A\cup A^c=C$} \\ &=B && \text{because $B\subseteq C$} \end{align} You also have \begin{align} A\cap B^c &=(A\cap B^c)\cap(B\cap A^c) && \text{hypothesis} \\ &=A\cap(B^c\cap(B\cap A^c)) && \text{associativity} \\ &=A\cap((B^c\cap B)\cap A^c) && \text{associativity} \\ &=A\cap(\emptyset\cap A^c) && \text{because $B\cap B^c=\emptyset$} \\ &=A\cap\emptyset \\ &=\emptyset \end{align}

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1340632/solve-this-functional-equation

# Solve this functional equation: Functional equations such as this one appear only once every several years on exams, so I feel it's hard to have a sure-fire way to approach the problem, unlike, say, solving a series convergence problem, multiple variable integration, or proving some results using basic Fourier series. So, when I do see a solution offered for one of these problems and study the solution for a substantial amount of time, I still cannot remember how to solve these types of problems, when I come across another one. But the question is: Find all the real-valued continuous functions $f$ on $\mathbb R$ which satisfy $$f(x)f(y)=f(x_1)f(y_1)$$ for all $x$, $y$, $x_1$, $y_1$ such that $x^2+y^2=x_1^2+y_1^2$. Ideally, besides offering a solution, I would love to hear about your intuition on how to solve these functional equations. Thanks, • +1. I wanna know how the experts solve functional equations too.... – Jack's wasted life Jun 26 '15 at 22:56 You can linearize the problem by introducing $$g(u):=\ln\left(f(\sqrt u)\right).$$ Then with $u=x^2,v=y^2$, $$u+v=u'+v'\implies g(u)+g(v)=g(u')+g(v').$$ Setting $u'=0,v'=u+v$, $$g(u)+g(v)=g(0)+g(u+v)$$ shows that the function must be affine, $$g(u)=au+b,$$ and $$f(x)=e^{ax^2+b}=F_0\left(\frac{F_1}{F_0}\right)^{x^2}.$$ The intuitions/tricks behind this: • it is often advantageous to linearize to benefit of what we know from linear algebra and make the equations look more familiar; • products can be linearized by means of logarithms; • non-linear functions can be linearized by means of a change of variable with the function inverse; • when you have a property involving several variables, try to exploit it by assigning particular values to some of them. • Hi @YvesDaoust - I really like this approach. I just have one follow-up question: how do you get the line g(u) = au+b, hence showing the function, g, is affine? – User001 Jun 29 '15 at 2:03 • From your previous line, it follows that g(u) = g(0) + g(u+v) - g(v)... – User001 Jun 29 '15 at 2:06 • @LebronJames: let $h(u)=g(u)-g(0)$, then $h(u)+h(v)=h(u+v)$. Assuming $h$ continuous, this is enough to say that $h$ is linear. – Yves Daoust Jun 29 '15 at 6:19 All solutions are the functions $f(x) = \alpha e^{\beta x^2}$, $\alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}$. Any of this functions satisfies the OP query: $$f(x)f(y) = \alpha e^{\beta x^2} \alpha e^{\beta y^2} = \alpha^2 e^{\beta(x^2 + y^2)} = \alpha^2 e^{\beta(x_1^2 + y_1^2)} = \alpha e^{\beta x_1^2} \alpha e^{\beta y_1^2} = f(x_1)f(y_1) \, .$$ Here is why these are the only ones. Observe that the hypothesis implies that there is a function $\psi$ such that $$f(x)f(y) = \psi(x^2 + y^2) \, .$$ If $f(0) = 0$ then $0.f(y) = \psi(y^2) = 0$ hence $f(x).f(y) \equiv 0$. So $f$ must be identically zero. Assume that $f(0) = \alpha \neq 0$. Then $\tilde{f}(x) := \frac{f(x)}{\alpha}$ also satisfies the OP hypotesis. So we can assume w.l.o.g. that $\alpha = 1$. From this we get that $f(x) = \psi(x^2)$ and $\psi(r)$ is a continuous function for $r \geq 0$. Moreover the function $\psi$ satisfies $$f(x) f(y) = \psi(x^2) \psi(y^2) = \psi(x^2 + y^2) \, .$$ By taking $x=y$ we see that $\psi \geq 0$. Actually, $\psi(x) > 0$. Indeed, if $\psi(x_0^2) = 0$ then $\psi(x_0^2 + r) = 0$ for $r \geq 0$. W.l.o.g. we can assume $x_0>0$. Observe that also $f(x_0)=0$. So there are values $y_0$ such that $f(y_0) = 0$ and $0 \leq y_0 < x_0$. But then also $\psi(y_0^2) = 0$. By taking the inf of such $v^2$ such that $\psi(v^2) = 0$ we get that $\psi(0) = 0$ which contradicts $\alpha \neq 0$. Finally, we can take logarithms. Namely, we define the function $\lambda(x) := \log(\psi(x))$, for $x \geq 0$. Then $$\lambda(x) + \lambda(y) = \lambda(x+y)$$ for all $x,y \geq 0$. Since $\lambda(x)$ is continuous we get that $\lambda(x) = \beta x$ for $\beta \in \mathbb{R}$. Then $\psi(x^2) = e^{\beta x^2}$. So $f(x) = e^{\beta x^2}$. But we had assumed that $f(0)=1$. So the general solution is as I claimed : $f(x) = \alpha e^{\beta x^2}$. • why are we able to assert that $f(x)f(y) = \psi(x^2 + y^2)$? – Matematleta Jun 27 '15 at 1:30 • We know that $f(x)f(y) = f(\sqrt{x^2+y^2})f(0)$ for all $x,y$. So, define $\psi(r) = f(\sqrt{r})f(0)$ for $r \ge 0$. – JimmyK4542 Jun 27 '15 at 7:11 • @Chilango. $f(x)f(y)$ has the same value for all $x,y$ such that $x^2 + y^2$ have a fix value. Then $f(x)f(y)$ is a function of $x^2 + y^2$. – Holonomia Jun 27 '15 at 8:05 • Thanks so much @Holonomia. – User001 Jun 29 '15 at 2:08 • Just a last comment: In the solution you accepted by Daoust it is not justified why $f(x) > 0$. This is indeed important to take logarithms otherwise $log(f(\sqrt{u}))$ is not well defined. – Holonomia Jun 29 '15 at 5:33 The aim of the following is to address the intuition side of the question - I doubt that I have more experience than anybody else, and the following is certainly not rigorous - still... One way to the answer - at least in this case! - is to use calculus, i.e., assume everything in sight is differentiable, and perhaps try "to sweep up the loose ends" afterwards. As pointed out by Holonomia, the function $g(x,y) = f(x)f(y)$ is constant on circles. This means that the gradient of the differentiable $g$ is parallel to the vector $(2x,2y)$, as the latter is normal to $x^2 +y^2 = c$. So $${\rm grad}\ g = \lambda\cdot (2x, 2y),$$ where where $\lambda = \lambda(x,y)$ is a scalar function. Comparing the components, one gets $$f'(x) f(y) = \lambda 2 x,$$ and $$f'(y) f(x) = \lambda 2 y.$$ Doing the algebra (formally), one obtains $${f'(x) \over 2x f(x)} = {f'(y) \over 2y f(y)}.$$ Therefore, both sides of the equality are constant, i.e., $${f'(x) \over 2x f(x)} = \beta,$$ with $\beta$ some constant. Cross-multiplying by $2x$ and integrating, one ends up with $$f(x) = \alpha e^{\beta x^2},$$ for some constant $\alpha$ - i.e., Holonomia's answer. • Edit * Some "sweeping up," by request, to show that any $f$ satisfying the conditions of the problem (continuity, functional equation) is differentiable at $x=c$, for every $c$. Fix $c$, set $a = |c|$, and consider $$f(x) \int_{a+10}^{a+20} f(y)\, dy = \int_{a+10}^{a+20} f(x) f(y) \,dy = \int_{a+10}^{a+20} \psi( x^2 +y^2) \, dy,$$ where $\psi$ is Holonomia's $\psi$. The integral multiplying $f(x)$ is not zero if $f$ is not identically zero (using a Holonomia-style argument and $f(\sqrt 2 x)f(0) = f(x)^2$, for instance, to conclude that the continuous $f$ is nowhere $0$ if not identically $0$). With the change of variables $y= \sqrt{r^2-x^2}$, the integral on the right becomes $$\int_{\sqrt {(a+10)^2 +x^2}}^{\sqrt {(a+20)^2 +x^2}} \psi ( r^2) {r\over \sqrt{r^2-x^2} }\, dr,$$ which is differentiable at (in a neighborhood of) $x=c$, because $r^2-x^2 \ge (a+10)^2 >0$, $\psi$ is continuous, and the limits of the integral are differentiable. Thus $f(x)$ is differentiable. • Hi @peterag, how do we then back out of the differentiability assumption? Really cool intuition... – User001 Jun 29 '15 at 1:44 • @LebronJames - actually, I just rolled back the edit to address your comment, as I messed something up - Tomorrow... – peter a g Jun 29 '15 at 3:47 • Ok, got it. Thanks @peterag! :-) – User001 Jun 29 '15 at 3:52 • @LebronJames see the 'edit'. However, as advertised in the first line of this answer, the point really was not 'rigor' - although the first version of this when you posed the question actually had a <problematic> version of this 'edit', but it seemed pointless given Holonomia's answer. Be that as it may, the argument in the edit is based on the standard proof that a measurable character on the reals is continuous (and differentiable). – peter a g Jun 29 '15 at 21:24

standard form of a quadratic function examples 23303 The functions above are examples of quadratic functions in standard quadratic form. How to Graph Quadratic Functions given in Vertex Form? The standard form of a quadratic function. Sometimes, a quadratic function is not written in its standard form, $$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$$, and we may have to change it into the standard form. ax² + bx + c = 0. R1 cannot be negative, so R1 = 3 Ohms is the answer. We like the way it looks up there better. Algebra Examples. If the quadratic polynomial = 0, it forms a quadratic equation. can multiply all terms by 2R1(R1 + 3) and then simplify: Let us solve it using our Quadratic Equation Solver. The quadratic function f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k, not equal to zero, is said to be in standard quadratic form. Note: You can find exactly where the top point is! 1 R1 Quadratic Function The general form of a quadratic function is f ( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c . Yes, a Quadratic Equation. Here are some examples: Move all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify. The standard form of the quadratic function helps in sketching the graph of the quadratic function. Two resistors are in parallel, like in this diagram: The total resistance has been measured at 2 Ohms, and one of the resistors is known to be 3 ohms more than the other. Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation The general form of the quadratic equation is ax²+bx+c=0 which is always put equals to zero and here the value of x is always unknown, which has to be determined by applying the quadratic formula while … Graphing Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form The vertex form of a quadratic equation is y = a(x − h) 2 + k where a, h and k are real numbers and a is not equal to zero. Because the vertex appears in the standard form of the quadratic function, this form is also known as the vertex form of a quadratic function.. The standard form of a quadratic function presents the function in the form $f\left(x\right)=a{\left(x-h\right)}^{2}+k$ where $\left(h,\text{ }k\right)$ is the vertex. The standard form of quadratic equations looks like the one below:. The constants ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ are called the coefficients. Quadratic functions follow the standard form: f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c. If ax 2 is not present, the function will be linear and not quadratic. Because (0, 8) is point on the parabola 2 units to the left of the axis of symmetry, x  =  2, (4, 8) will be a point on the parabola 2 units to the right of the axis of symmetry. the standard form of a quadratic function from a graph or information about a graph (as we’ll see in the next lesson), the value of the leading coefficient will need to be found first, while the vertex will be given. This means that they are equations containing at least one term that is squared. shows the profit, a company earns for selling items at different prices.

The interesting thing I was talking about is the fact that the given series always converges into a value $a_n$ such that $sin(a_n)=0$ for different values of $a_0$. To put it in more exact terms, it always converges to a value of $a_n$ such that $cos(a_n)=-1\Rightarrow a_n=m\pi$, where $m$ is an odd integer. ($m$ can also be even, but that is a degenerate case where all terms are same) I'm going to use something here that I actually learned from gradient descent. If you don't know what it is, you can google it. But, the mathematics used below is an extremely tame form and is easy to understand with little knowledge of calculus. Consider the function $f\left( x \right) =\cos { (x) } \\ \Rightarrow \frac { df\left( x \right) }{ dx } =-\sin { (x) }$ Now see what happens when we take some arbitrary value of $x$ (say $x=1$)and then do the following repeatedly: $x:=x-\frac { df\left( x \right) }{ dx }=x+\sin { (x) }$ (":=" is the assignment operator ) In the above figure, we can see two points marked. One is red, which represents the first value of $x$($=1$). The other is brown, and is after one iteration of above step. We can see that when we do $x:=x+sin(x)$, what is actually happening is that $x$ is surfing along the slope of the curve $cos(x)$. We move the value of $x$ down the tangent. Change $x$ little by little, so that finally, after many iterations it moves closer and closer to the minima, i.e $x=\pi$. I know this is not a definitive proof of what happens... I'm sure you will realize the importance of this once you understand what is happening. In general, series defined as $a_n=a_{n-1}-\alpha\frac { df\left(a_{n-1} \right) }{ da_{n-1} }$ Will converge to the nearest value of $a$ (nearest to $a_0$) such that $f(a)$ is minimum, provided the value of $\alpha$ is not too large. - 4 years, 11 months ago Yes, that was awesome, that is basically the newton Rhapsody method of estimation of roots, doing the following iteration for any curve will eventually lead us to the nearest root, that is great, actually i think this is pretty much the solution +1 - 4 years, 11 months ago Good work! Newton's method for estimating roots. Pretty much seals the deal. Great solution +1. - 4 years, 11 months ago Good work. - 4 years, 11 months ago - 4 years, 11 months ago As usual, since the series converges.. this means that when $n\to\infty$ , $a_{n+1}=a_{n}$. But $a_{n+1}=a_{n}+sin(a_{n})$ $\Rightarrow sin(a_{n})=0$ Now how do we know that $a_{n}=\pi$? We know this since $a_0=1$ and the series is constantly increasing. Therefore, it converges onto the first value of $x>1$ such that $sin(x)=0$. - 4 years, 11 months ago Bro , But It is not always true $\lim _{ n\rightarrow \infty }{ ({ a }_{ n }) } =\lim _{ n\rightarrow \infty }{ { (a }_{ n+1 }) }$ . - 4 years, 11 months ago Why not? Do you have a counter-example? - 4 years, 11 months ago Which value converges to pi ?? - 4 years, 11 months ago If you call L the value of the limit you obtain sin(L)=0. Now L can be pi or zero but zero is impossible because of the initial condition. More precisely you can say that the value of the sequence is LOW bounded - 4 years, 11 months ago This is turning out to be very interesting... I want to know if we can find a general form for a function $f(x)$ such that the series $a_1,a_2,...$ defined by: $a_{n+1}=a_{n-1}+f(a_{n-1})$ Converges for a given value of $a_0$. Further, is it true that all of the values of such $a_n$ as $n\to \infty$ satisfy $f(a_n)=0$? - 4 years, 11 months ago I think the answer to this is going to be extremely interesting.... I have a feeling... Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? - 4 years, 11 months ago What are you thinking? - 4 years, 11 months ago

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2399770/in-how-many-ways-can-we-permute-the-digits-2-3-4-5-2-3-4-5-if-identical-digits

# In how many ways can we permute the digits $2,3,4,5,2,3,4,5$ if identical digits must not be adjacent? In how many ways can we permute the digits $2,3,4,5,2,3,4,5$ if identical digit must not be adjacent? I tried this by first taking total permutation as $\dfrac{8!}{2^4}$ Now $n_1$ as $22$ or $33$ or $44$ or $55$ occurs differently $N_1 = \left(^7C_1\times \dfrac{7!}{8}\right)$ And $n_2 = \left(^4C_1 \times 4!\right)$ Using the inclusion-exclusion principle I got: $\dfrac{8!}{16}-\left(^7C_1\times\dfrac{7!}{8}\right)+\left(^4C_1\times4!\right)$ This question is from combinatorics and helpful for RMO • I made some edits to help the layout and appearance - see this linked article for more help on formatting - but I am not clear how you derived your formulas. Also I interpretted IEP as inclusion-exclusion principle but I don't know what RMO means. Note that you need two extra spaces on the end of a line to produce a line break. Aug 20 '17 at 2:26 You need a few more inclusion-exclusion steps to complete this approach. Without constraints, you do indeed have $\dfrac {8!}{2^4} = 2520$ arrangements. Then there are $\dfrac {7!}{2^3} = 630$ cases where a $22$ is found in the arrangement, and similarly for the other digits. Then there are $\dfrac {6!}{2^2} = 180$ cases where both a $22$ and a $33$ are found, and similarly for other pairs, etc. So by inclusion-exclusion, we have to subtract the paired cases then add back the double-paired cases, then subtract off triple-paired again and finally add in the cases where all digits appear in pairs. $$\frac {8!}{2^4} - \binom 41\frac {7!}{2^3} + \binom 42\frac {6!}{2^2} - \binom 43\frac {5!}{2} + \binom 44\frac {4!}{1} \\[3ex] =2520 -4\cdot 630 +6\cdot 180-4\cdot60 + 24 = 864$$ [Sharp eyes might notice that $\frac {8!}{2^4} = \binom 41\frac {7!}{2^3}$, shortening the calculation process.] Here is a variation based upon generating functions of Smirnov words. These are words with no equal consecutive characters. (See example III.24 Smirnov words from Analytic Combinatorics by Philippe Flajolet and Robert Sedgewick for more information.) We encode the digits \begin{align*} 2,3,4,5 \qquad\text{as}\qquad a,b,c,d \end{align*} and look for Smirnov words of length $8$ built from $a,b,c,d$ with each letter occurring exactly twice. A generating function for the number of Smirnov words over a four letter alphabet $V=\{a,b,c,d\}$ is given by \begin{align*} \left(1-\frac{4z}{1+z}\right)^{-1} \end{align*} We use the coefficient of operator $[z^n]$ to denote the coefficient of $z^n$ in a series $A(z)$. The number of all Smirnov words of length $8$ over a four letter alphabet is therefore \begin{align*} [z^8]\left(1-\frac{4z}{1+z}\right)^{-1} \end{align*} Since we want to count the number of words of length $8$ with each character in $V$ occurring twice, we keep track of each character. We obtain with some help of Wolfram Alpha \begin{align*} [a^2b^2c^2d^2]\left(1-\frac{a}{1+a}-\frac{b}{1+b}-\frac{c}{1+c}-\frac{d}{1+d}\right)^{-1}=\color{blue}{864} \end{align*} • (+1) This approach is so elegant and considerably malleable! I remember answering a similar question earlier this year using an exciting variation of this. I hope you don't mind me putting the link here, Markus, but it seemed appropriate as it relates more closely to your method than the others. Aug 21 '17 at 2:07 Here is another approach: Assume for the moment that the first appearance of the four digits is in increasing order. The places of their first appearance can be distributed in six ways, see the following figure. The places for the prospective second appearances have been marked by empty boxes, next to which is written the number of choices we have when filling them in. The last column shows the product of these numbers in each row. $$\matrix{ 2&3&4&5&\square_3&\square_3&\square_2&\square_1&&18\cr 2&3&4&\square_2&5&\square_2&\square_2&\square_1&&8\cr 2&3&4&\square_2&\square_2&5&\square_1&\square_1&&4\cr 2&3&\square_1&4&5&\square_2&\square_2&\square_1&&4\cr 2&3&\square_1&4&\square_1&5&\square_1&\square_1&&1\cr 2&3&\square_1&\square_1&4&5&\square_1&\square_1&&1\cr}$$ Summing the last column gives $36$. This has to be multiplied by $4!$ in order to compensate for the chosen order $2345$. It follows that there are $864$ admissible arrangements of the eight digits. • One of the charms of mathematics is that there is always another way.... Aug 20 '17 at 13:52

Four rooks are randomly placed on a $4 \times 4$ chessboard. Suppose no rook can attack another. Under this condition, what is the probability that the leading diagonal of the chessboard has no rooks at all? Since no rook can attack another, we know that each row and each column contains exactly one rook each. Let $A_i$ be the event that row $i$ has its rook on the diagonal. Then $P\{A_i\} = \frac{1}{4}$ for each $i = 1,\dots,4$. We want to find the probability that the diagonal of the chessboard has no rooks at all, or equivalently that none of the rows have their rook on the diagonal. Therefore we have \begin{align} P\{A^c_1 \cap A^c_2 \cap A^c_3 \cap A^c_4\} & = P\{(A_1 \cup A_1 \cup A_3 \cup A_4)^c\} \\ & = 1 - P\{A_1 \cup A_1 \cup A_3 \cup A_4\} \\ & = 1 - (P\{A_1\} + P\{A_2\} + P\{A_3\} + P\{A_4\} - P\{A_1 \cap A_2\} - P\{A_1 \cap A_3\} - P\{A_1 \cap A_4\} - P\{A_2 \cap A_3\} - P\{A_2 \cap A_4\} - P\{A_3 \cap A_4\} + P\{A_1 \cap A_2 \cap A_3\} + P\{A_1 \cap A_2 \cap A_4\} + P\{A_1 \cap A_3 \cap A_4\} + P\{A_2 \cap A_3 \cap A_4\} - P\{A_1 \cap A_2 \cap A_3 \cap A_4\}) \\ & = 1 - (4 \cdot \frac{1}{4} - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{16} + 4 \cdot \frac{1}{64} - \frac{1}{256}) \\ & = 1 - \frac{175}{256} \\ & = \frac{81}{256} \end{align} using De Morgan's Law and the inclusion-exclusion principle. However, it seems that this is incorrect since if we consider the number of ways that we can place the rooks such that no rook can attack each other we have $\frac{(4!)^2}{4!} = 4! = 24$ [as per this answer for a similar problem] and so the answer should have denominator of 24. Having said that I don't see where my answer is wrong, so would someone be able to show me the correct solution? • No rooks on either diagonal, or just one specified diagonal? Oct 31 '15 at 20:47 • Look at those 24 rook configurations. Is $P(A_i)=1/4$ ? Oct 31 '15 at 20:51 • Just the leading diagonal, i.e. a4, b3, c2, d1 @BrianTung Oct 31 '15 at 20:51 • OK, thanks. I've given the answer to both interpretations, just in case. Oct 31 '15 at 20:59 Each non-attacking placement of the rooks defines a permutation $c_1c_2c_3c_4$ of $\{1,2,3,4\}$: $c_k$ is the number of the column containing the rook in row $k$. There are $4!=24$ such permutations, all equally likely. Those that have no rook on the main diagonal are derangements, and there are $9$ of them, so the desired probability is $\frac9{24}$. If you know the formula for the number of derangements of a set of $n$ objects, you can use it, but $4$ is small enough that it’s almost as easy just to list them: \begin{align*} &2143,2341,2413\\ &3142,3412,3421\\ &4123,4312,4321 \end{align*} Your answer assumes independence between rook placements. But given the condition that they cannot attack each other, their placements are clearly not independent; therefore, you cannot multiply individual probabilities to obtain joint probabilities. You are correct in observing that the total number of possible non-attacking arrangements is $4! = 24$. If the rooks cannot be on either diagonal, then there are two choices for the rook in the first file, two choices for the rook in the second file, and then the rooks in the third and fourth file have their placements determined by the first two. There are therefore $2 \times 2 = 4$ placements that avoid both diagonals. If you only need to avoid one diagonal (say, the black diagonal), we merely need the number of derangements of four objects. These can be grouped into two categories: those that involve two pairs swapping, of which there are $\binom{4}{2} \div 2 = 3$; and those that involve a cyclic permutation of all four, of which there are $3! = 6$; for a total of $9$ derangements. The number of allowable placements should be the number of derangements of $4$ items, which is $9$. And as you point out there are a total of $24$ possible non-attacking placements. You are misapplying Inclusion-Exclusion. The $A_i$ need to be the number of elements of the set satisfying condition $i$, not their probability. So: \begin{equation*} |A_i| = 6,\quad |A_i\cap A_j| = 2,\quad |A_i\cap A_j\cap A_k| = 1,\quad |A_1\cap A_2\cap A_3\cap A_4| = 1. \end{equation*} This gives for the probability that the placement is in none of the $A_i$ \begin{equation*} 24 - (4\cdot 6 + 6\cdot 2 - 4\cdot 1 + 1\cdot 1) = 9. \end{equation*} So the probability is $\frac{9}{24} = \frac{3}{8}$. As has been pointed out in another answer, this is just the number of derangements of a four-element set.

Now we stretch one part of the rubber band straight up from the left peg and around a third peg to make the sides of a right triangle as shown in Figure $$\PageIndex{2}$$. y = c f(x), vertical stretch, factor of c, y = (1/c)f(x), compress vertically, factor of c, y = f(cx), compress horizontally, factor of c, y = f(x/c), stretch horizontally, factor of c. Stretching a graph involves introducing a coefficient into the function, whether that coefficient fronts the equation as in y = 3 sin(x) or is acted upon by the trigonometric function, as in y = sin(3x). Describe the transformations done on the following functions shown below. 3. Horizontal Stretches/Compressions - multiply the x value directly. The resulting function will have the same range but may have a different domain. To stretch or shrink the graph in the y direction, multiply or divide the output by a constant. Let’s now stretch the resulting graph vertically by a scale factor of 2. All horizontal transformations, except reflection, work the opposite way you’d expect: Adding to x makes the function go left. It looks at how c and d affect the graph of f(x). What are the transformations done on f(x) so that it results to g(x) = 2|x/3| – 1? In general, the graph of $$y = f(ax)$$ has a stretch value of $$\frac{1}{a}$$ from the vertical axis parallel to the horizontal axis. if we say we stretched it by 1/4, that means it only increased by 1/4 of its original length as opposed to 4 times its original length . A horizontal stretch can be applied to a function by multiplying its input values by a scale factor, Let’s go ahead and take a look at how f(x) = x, Remember that when we horizontally stretch a function by, When we stretch a graph horizontally, we multiply the base function’s x-coordinate by the given scale factor’s denominator, Hence, we have (6, 4) → (2 ∙ 6, 4). You use the graph and solve it as you would for any function using small values first, then you have y=square root of x - 1, the domain 0<=x. When we horizontally stretch g(x) by a scale factor of 1/3, we obtain h(x). Transformations Of Trigonometric Graphs Then. graph stretches and compressions. the graph will be stretched horizontally so that its horizontal length on any finite interval will be 4 times what it was originally, stretching by a factor of 4 is the way we would describe that. For a horizontal stretch of 2, x 2 would become (x/2) 2. Vertical Stretch By A Factor Of 3 III. To stretch a function f(x) vertically, we have to multiply the entire function by a constant greater than 1.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1724731/if-i-flip-1-of-3-modified-coins-3-times-whats-the-probability-that-i-wil

# If I flip $1$ of $3$ modified coins $3$ times, what's the probability that I will get tails? We have $3$ modified coins: $M_1$ which has tails on the both sides, $M_2$ which has heads on the both sides and $M_3$ which is a fair coin. We extract a coin from the urn and we flip it $3$ times. 1. What is the probability that if I flip the coin $3$ times I will get all tails? 2. If I got all tails at all $3$ flips what is the probability that the extracted coin is $M_3$? My attempt: 1. I have tried this way: There is a $\frac{1}{3}$ chance to get $M_1$ or $M_2$ or $M_3$. If we get $M_1$ the probability to get tails is $1$, for $M_2$ is $0$ and for $M_3$ is $\frac{1}{2}$. Then the probability to get tails at one flip is $$\frac{1}{3}\cdot 1 + \frac{1}{3}\cdot 0 + \frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$ So the probability to get tails at all the $3$ flips is ${(\frac{1}{2})}^3$ which is $\frac{1}{8}$. Is this right? 2. The probability seems to be intuitively $\frac{1}{3}$, but I don't know how to formally prove it. By Bayes' theorem \begin{align}P(M_3\mid TTT)=\frac{P(TTT\mid M_3)P(M_3)}{P(TTT)}=\frac{\left(\frac12\right)^3\cdot\frac13}{\frac38}=\frac19\end{align} Note: The denominator was calculated using the Law of total probability as is common when applying the Bayes rule. You did this in part 1. but not correctly. To see this write \begin{align}P(TTT)&=P(TTT\mid M_1)P(M_1)+P(TTT\mid M_2)P(M_2)+P(TTT\mid M_3)P(M_3)\\[0.2cm]&=1\cdot\frac13+0\cdot\frac13+\left(\frac12\right)^3\frac13\\[0.2cm]&=\frac13\left(1+\frac18\right)=\frac38\end{align} • Why $(\frac{1}{2})^3$. Where did this come frome? So for each coin you computed the probability that we will get tails and for that probability the probability to get 3 tails in a row? Apr 2, 2016 at 16:40 • $P(TTT\mid M_3)=\left(\frac12\right)^3$ You roll a fair coin three times and you want three times tails, so $\frac12\cdot\frac12\cdot\frac12$. Apr 2, 2016 at 16:43 • Yes, exactly as you say it. Apr 2, 2016 at 16:44 Paint the double-head coin yellow on one side and red on the other. Paint the double-tail coin blue and green. There are 24 possible outcomes. One of the outcomes is: Run through the 24 outcomes, how many of them give you three tails? Of those outcomes, how many were with the fair coin, how many were with the double-tail coin? I will extend my comment: remember that $\text{probability of A}=\frac{\text{number of A cases}}{\text{all possible cases}}$. Then, how many ways we can get (tail, tail, tail)? If we take the fair coin with this coin we only can take (tail, tail, tail) i.e. only exist one way we can take the desired result. But if we took the double-tail coin we take (tail, tail, tail) any time i.e. the full 8 ways that a coin can show when it is tossed three times. And when we get the double-head coin we cant take (tail, tail, tail). Then the total amount of ways we can take (tail, tail, tail) is just $1+8$, and the cases for the fair coin is just $1$ so the probability that you want is $1/9$. This is a visual way to see the problem but the formal way to solve it is the answer of @JimmyR i.e. using the basic definitions and theorems of probability theory. There are some correct answers here. Many use Bayes' rule, which is correct and elegant but takes getting used to. Let me try instead to help you think through this particular example, to train your intuition. In your answer to #1 you correctly compute that the probability of one $T$ is 1/2. But that doesn't mean the probability of $TTT$ is 1/8 unless you put the coin back and choose independently again for each of the next two tosses. The way the problem is stated, you use the same coin all three times. Then the right way to compute the weighted average is $$\frac{1}{3}⋅1+ \frac{1}{3}⋅0+ \frac{1}{3}⋅\frac{1}{8}= \frac{3}{8}.$$ For the second question, you know that you don't have the middle coin, so you need the probability of the first compared to the last. If you imagine that you can tell the two sides of the two-tailed coin apart, there are 8 ways to do three flips, all of which are all tails. For the fair coin, only one triple is all tails. So when you see all tails the probability that you had the all-tail coin is 8/9.

Looking for more algorithms for quasi-random numbers 11-29-2019, 01:06 PM (This post was last modified: 11-30-2019 06:16 AM by Namir.) Post: #1 Namir Senior Member Posts: 690 Joined: Dec 2013 Looking for more algorithms for quasi-random numbers Hi All Math Lovers, In another thread of mine, ttw mentions quasi-random numbers. Quasi-random numbers (QRNs) present a better spread over a range of values than pseudo-random numbers (PRNs). On the other hand, QRNs will often fail randomness tests. They true purpose to to cover more uniformly a range of values in one of more dimensions. This is part of ttw's response in my other thread, where he mentions QRNs: Quote:The easiest multi-dimensional quasi-random sequence is the Richtmeyer sequence. One uses the fractional part of multiples of the square roots of primes. Sqrt(2), Sqrt(3), etc. It's quick to do these by just setting x(i)=0 updating by x(i)=Frac(x(i)+Sqrt(P(i))). Naturally one just stores the fractional parts of the irrationals and updates. (List mode). The sequence is also called the Kronecker or Weyl sequence at times. The above text includes the algorithm of setting x(1)=0 updating by x(i)=Frac(x(i)+Sqrt(P(i))). The array of P() represents prime numbers starting with 2. You can change x(1) to had a uniform random number as a seed (to generate different sequences every time you apply the algorithm) or simply set x(1) = sqrt(P(1)) = sqrt(2). I am curious about other formulas to calculate sequences of quasi-random numbers. You are welcome to use your imagination. My first attempt was something like: Code: n = number of x to generate m = 100*n Calculate P() for primes in the range of 1 to m X(1) = rand or Frac(ln(P(3)) * sqrt(P(1)) j = 2 count = 0 for i=2 to n   X(i) = Frac(X(i) + ln(P(j+1)) * sqrt(P(j-1))   j = j + 1   if j > m then    count = count + 1     j = 2 + count   end end The above code produces x() with a mean near 0.5 and standard deviation near 0.28. The auto correlations for the first 50 lags are in the orde rof 10^(-2) to 10^(-4). I am curious about other formulas to calculate sequences of quasi-random numbers. You are welcome to use your imagination. You can even commit math heresy!!! As long as it works, you are fine (and forgiven) :-) Namir 11-29-2019, 04:49 PM (This post was last modified: 11-29-2019 06:24 PM by SlideRule.)

Namir 12-01-2019, 05:52 AM Post: #6 ttw Member Posts: 186 Joined: Jun 2014 RE: Looking for more algorithms for quasi-random numbers This is one of the sequences from my paper in "Computational investigations of low-discrepancy point sets II" from the 1994 Las Vegas Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi Monte Carlo Methods. I have made a single ad-hoc change (described below) that improves distribution for small numbers of points. The Halton Sequence Phi(N,P) (for odd primes, 2 is a special case not considered here) can be described as: 1. Generate the digits of N in base P (for P an odd prime). Call these digits a(1) to a(k) where k is the maximum number of digits needed. (There should be lots of subscripts but I'll treat each prime separately to reduce index management.) N=Sum from j=1 to k of a(j)*P^(j-1), that is: a(k)a(k-1)...a(2)(a(1). 2. Reverse the digits: a(1),a(2)....a(k-1),a(k) is resulting string. 3. Treat this string as a fraction with a decimal point (p-ary point?) in front. Example: P=3, N=5: 5(3)=12. Reverse Phi(5,3)=.21(3) or 2/3+1/9 = 7/9 The sequence is very well distributed for example one starts with 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1/9, 4/9, 7/9, 2/9, 5/9, 8/9, 1/27, 10,27... This sequence is uniformly in the unit d-cube using d different primes. For example in 3 dimensions using primes 3 and 5 gives the points: (skipping 0 which sits on the corner of the cube). (1/3, 1/5, 1/7) (2/3, 2/5, 2/7) (1/9, 3/5, 3/7) (4/9, 4/5, 4/7) (7/9,1/25,5/7) (2/9, 6/25, 6/7) (5/9, 11/25, 1/49) (8/9. 16/25, 8/49) etc. The process is sometimes termed a Kakatumi-von Neumann odometer. There is a problem that I noticed about 1967 or so when I started working on quasi-Monte Carlo. For large base, the Halton Sequence produces strongly correlated points until enough points are generated. (This happens with all quasi-random sequences but not as severely.) Take the first few points using bases 101 and 103. (1/101, 1/103) (2/101, 2/103) ... (100/101, 100/103) (1/10201, 101/103) (102/10201, 102/103) (203/10203, 1/10609) etc. In 1993-1995 period, I figured out to multiply each numerator by a number (I called a spin) to break this up. Then I used the fact the fractional parts of square roots of primes are independent to do the following seemingly strange rule. Give a prime P, to find a multiplier S, do the following. 1. Compute the nearest integers to the fractional part of the Sqrt(P), call these H and L (high and low, one is above and one below the number). 2. Compute the continued fraction of H/P and L/P; each generates a string of partial quotients. The multiplier S is the one of these satisfying the following: 3. A. Chose the one for which the sum of the partial quotients is smallest. B. If tied, chose the one with the smallest maximum partial quotient. C. If tied, chose whichever H/P or L/P is closest to the fractional part of the square root. D. Ad Hoc Alert: if P=41, use 16. (To avoid 17/41 being close to 12/29. The only such case in all primes less than 2^32) 4. To generate the modified Phi sequence Phi(N,P,S): generate the digits of N base P as above and reverse. Multiply each digit by S modulo P and sum as above. Examples: 3 dimensions: P=3, 5, 7 have S= 2, 2,and 5 respectively. (2/3, 2/5, 5/7) (1/3, 4/5, 3/7) (2/9, 1/5, 1/7) (8/9, 3/4, 6/7) etc. For the pathological case 101 and 103, the multipliers are 6 and 16 respectively (not the best but that's another post sometime). (6/101, 16/103) (12/101, 32/103) (18/101, 48/103) Clearly more spread out than the original Halton Sequence. I've got some more but Mordechay Levin's paper ArXiv 1806 shows that even the original Halton Sequence hits the theoretical lower bound for dimensions 2 and up so great changes cannot be had by tinkering. I do have a bit better, but it's even longer to compute and I haven't tested the new ideas thoroughly. HP50g code:(Number, Prime, Spin, Top, Bottom) << 0 1 -> N P S T B << WHILE N REPEAT N S * P MOD T P * + 'T' STO P 'B' STO* N P IQUOT 'N' STO END T B />> >> Not necessarily the fastest but eas to work with. (If I've done this right.) 12-01-2019, 11:46 AM Post: #7 Csaba Tizedes Senior Member Posts: 412 Joined: May 2014 RE: Looking for more algorithms for quasi-random numbers « Next Oldest | Next Newest » User(s) browsing this thread: 1 Guest(s)

# How to simplify or upperbound this summation? I am not a mathematician, so sorry for this trivial question. Is there a way to simplify or to upperbound the following summation: $$\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{i^2}{\sigma^2}\right)}}.$$ Can I use geometric series? EDIT: I have difficulty because of the power $2$, i.e if the summation would be $\sum\limits_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{i}{\sigma^2}\right)}}$ then it would be easy to apply geometric series! • Don't be sorry for the question! The only way to get better as mathematician is to ask questions. (See also the first annotation to this post) – Jacob Manaker Sep 18 at 16:18 • Seems that you could try the integral $\int_0^\infty \exp(-x^2)\,\mathrm dx$ to bound that. – xbh Sep 18 at 16:26 • tinyurl.com/y76n9loh (wolframalpha) gives a closed form for the infinite sum involving the elliptic theta function. – barrycarter Sep 19 at 23:46 Alternative: Since $f(x) = \exp(-x^2/\sigma^2) \searrow 0$, we can write $\DeclareMathOperator{\diff}{\,d\!}$ \begin{align*} &\sum_1^n \exp\left(-\frac {j^2}{\sigma^2}\right) \\ &= \sum_1^n \int_{j-1}^j \exp\left(-\frac {j^2}{\sigma^2}\right)\diff x \\ &\leqslant \sum_1^n \int_{j-1}^j \exp\left(-\frac {x^2}{\sigma^2}\right) \diff x \\ &=\sigma \int_0^n \exp\left(-\frac {x^2}{\sigma^2}\right) \diff \left(\frac x \sigma \right)\\ &= \sigma \int_0^{n/\sigma} \exp(-x^2)\diff x\\ &\leqslant \sigma \int_0^{+\infty}\exp(-x^2)\diff x\\ &= \frac \sigma 2 \sqrt \pi \end{align*} • Nicely done! Sometimes simplest is best. – Jacob Manaker Sep 18 at 17:54 • brilliant answer, thanks – user8003788 Sep 19 at 7:39 • @JacobManaker Thanks for compliment! – xbh Sep 19 at 7:43 TL;DR: three relatively easy bounds are the numbered equations below. You cannot directly apply the formula for the geometric series for the reason mentioned in your edit. But note that $i\geq1$, so we have $$\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{i^2}{\sigma^2}\right)}}\leq\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{i\cdot1}{\sigma^2}\right)}}$$ The latter, of course, is a geometric sum. Taking the sum over all $i$ (including $i=0$), we get $$(1-e^{-\sigma^{-2}})^{-1} \tag{1} \label{eqn:first}$$ The calculation for finitely many terms isn't much harder, and only differs by an exponentially decreasing factor. If this isn't a strong enough bound, there are other techniques. If $n<\sigma$, then we can get very far elementarily. Note that $e^x\geq x+1$; dividing each side, we get $$e^{-x}\leq(1+x)^{-1}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{(-x)^k}$$ if $|x|<1$. Taking $x=\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^2$, we thus obtain \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^n{e^{-\frac{i^2}{\sigma^2}}}&\leq\sum_{i=1}^n{\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{\left(-\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^2\right)^k}} \\ &=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{(-1)^k\sum_{i=1}^n{\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}}} \tag{*} \label{eqn:star} \end{align*} (We can interchange sums because one is finite.) Now, for all $k$, the function $\left(\frac{\cdot}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}$ is increasing on $[0,\infty)$; we thus have $$\int_0^n{\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}\,di}\leq\sum_{i=1}^n{\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}}\leq\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}+\int_1^n{\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}\,di}$$ Evaluating the integrals and simplifying, we have $$0\leq\sum_{i=1}^n{\left(\frac{i}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}}-\frac{n}{2k+1}\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}\leq\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}\left(1-\frac{1}{(2k+1)n^{2k}}\right)$$ Substituting into $\eqref{eqn:star}$, we get \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^n{e^{-\frac{i^2}{\sigma^2}}}&\leq\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{\frac{(-1)^kn}{2k+1}\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}}-\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}{\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{4j+2}\left(1-\frac{1}{(4j+3)n^{4j+2}}\right)} \\ &\leq\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{\frac{(-1)^kn}{2k+1}\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{2k}}-\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}{\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^{4j+2}} \\ &=\sigma\tan^{-1}{\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)}-\frac{\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^2}{1-\left(\frac{n}{\sigma}\right)^4}\hspace{4em}(n<\sigma) \tag{2} \end{align*} Finally, for the general case we can achieve a slight improvement on $\eqref{eqn:first}$ via the theory of majorization. $\{x_i\}_{i=1}^n\mapsto\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{x_i}{\sigma^2}\right)}}$ is convex and symmetric in its arguments, hence Schur-convex. Let $b_i=i^2$ and $a_i=\left(\frac{2n-1}{3}\right)i$. Clearly, for all $m\leq n$, we have $$\sum_{i=1}^m{a_i}=\frac{m(m-1)}{2}\cdot\frac{2n-1}{3}\geq\frac{m(m-1)(2m-1)}{6}=\sum_{i=1}^m{b_i}$$ with equality if $m=n$. Thus $\vec{a}$ majorizes $\vec{b}$, so \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{i^2}{\sigma^2}\right)}}&=\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{b_i}{\sigma^2}\right)}} \\ &\leq\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{a_i}{\sigma^2}\right)}} \\ &=\sum_{i=1}^n{\exp{\left(-\frac{(2n-1)i}{3\sigma^2}\right)}} \\ &\leq\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}{\exp{\left(-\frac{(2n-1)i}{3\sigma^2}\right)}} \\ &\leq\left(1-\exp{\left(\frac{2n-1}{3\sigma^2}\right)}\right)^{-1} \tag{3} \end{align*} • Great detailed work..I considered previously the first answer but I thought it would be better if I can get a stronger bound.Thanks a lot – user8003788 Sep 19 at 7:42 There's a rather trivial upper bound that $\frac{-i^2}{\sigma^2}$ is negative, so exponentiating it results in a number less than 1, so the sum is at most $n$. If you want a constant upper bound, you can upper bound it with the geometric series. The matter is that $e^{-(x/ \sigma)^2}$, in the range $0 \le x < \approx \sigma$ is very steep. So, unless $\sigma$ is quite high, you cannot get a good approximation by the integral. But of course everything depends on the parameters into play and on the accuracy required. Hint : For general values of $n$ and $\sigma$ it might be interesting to take advantage of the fact that the Fourier Transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian itself. Then you are taking the signal $e^{-\, (t/ \sigma)^2}$, windowing it between $0 \le t \le n/ \sigma$, taking $n$ samples of it, and after that you are taking $n$ times the average. All these operations have a simple translation into the frequency domain. However I do not go further not knowing whether you are acknowledged in this field, and keep this as a hint. Also, might be interesting this identity $$\sum\limits_{k \in \mathbb Z} {\exp \left( { - \pi \left( {k/c} \right)^2 } \right)} = c\sum\limits_{k \in \mathbb Z} {\exp \left( { - \pi \left( {k\,c} \right)^2 } \right)}$$ reported at the end of the Properties paragraph in this wikipedia article.

# Tag Archives: polynomial ## Infinite Ways to an Infinite Geometric Sum One of my students, K, and I were reviewing Taylor Series last Friday when she asked for a reminder why an infinite geometric series summed to $\displaystyle \frac{g}{1-r}$ for first term g and common ratio r when $\left| r \right| < 1$.  I was glad she was dissatisfied with blind use of a formula and dove into a familiar (to me) derivation.  In the end, she shook me free from my routine just as she made sure she didn’t fall into her own. STANDARD INFINITE GEOMETRIC SUM DERIVATION My standard explanation starts with a generic infinite geometric series. $S = g+g\cdot r+g\cdot r^2+g\cdot r^3+...$  (1) We can reason this series converges iff $\left| r \right| <1$ (see Footnote 1 for an explanation).  Assume this is true for (1).  Notice the terms on the right keep multiplying by r. The annoying part of summing any infinite series is the ellipsis (…).  Any finite number of terms always has a finite sum, but that simply written, but vague ellipsis is logically difficult.  In the geometric series case, we might be able to handle the ellipsis by aligning terms in a similar series.  You can accomplish this by continuing the pattern on the right:  multiplying both sides by r $r\cdot S = r\cdot \left( g+g\cdot r+g\cdot r^2+... \right)$ $r\cdot S = g\cdot r+g\cdot r^2+g\cdot r^3+...$  (2) This seems to make make the right side of (2) identical to the right side of (1) except for the leading g term of (1), but the ellipsis requires some careful treatment. Footnote 2 explains how the ellipses of (1) and (2) are identical.  After that is established, subtracting (2) from (1), factoring, and rearranging some terms leads to the infinite geometric sum formula. $(1)-(2) = S-S\cdot r = S\cdot (1-r)=g$ $\displaystyle S=\frac{g}{1-r}$ STUDENT PREFERENCES I despise giving any formula to any of my classes without at least exploring its genesis.  I also allow my students to use any legitimate mathematics to solve problems so long as reasoning is justified. In my experiences, about half of my students opt for a formulaic approach to infinite geometric sums while an equal number prefer the quick “multiply-by-r-and-subtract” approach used to derive the summation formula.  For many, apparently, the dynamic manipulation is more meaningful than a static rule.  It’s very cool to watch student preferences at play. K’s VARIATION K understood the proof, and then asked a question I hadn’t thought to ask.  Why did we have to multiply by r?  Could multiplication by $r^2$ also determine the summation formula? I had three nearly simultaneous thoughts followed quickly by a fourth.  First, why hadn’t I ever thought to ask that?  Second, geometric series for $\left| r \right|<1$ are absolutely convergent, so K’s suggestion should work.  Third, while the formula would initially look different, absolute convergence guaranteed that whatever the “$r^2$ formula” looked like, it had to be algebraically equivalent to the standard form.  While I considered those conscious questions, my math subconscious quickly saw the easy resolution to K’s question and the equivalence from Thought #3. Multiplying (1) by $r^2$ gives $r^2 \cdot S = g\cdot r^2 + g\cdot r^3 + ...$ (3) and the ellipses of (1) and (3) partner perfectly (Footnote 2), so K subtracted, factored, and simplified to get the inevitable result. $(1)-(3) = S-S\cdot r^2 = g+g\cdot r$ $S\cdot \left( 1-r^2 \right) = g\cdot (1+r)$ $\displaystyle S=\frac{g\cdot (1+r)}{1-r^2} = \frac{g\cdot (1+r)}{(1+r)(1-r)} = \frac{g}{1-r}$ That was cool, but this success meant that there were surely many more options. EXTENDING Why stop at multiplying by r or $r^2$?  Why not multiply both sides of (1) by a generic $r^N$ for any natural number N?   That would give $r^N \cdot S = g\cdot r^N + g\cdot r^{N+1} + ...$ (4) where the ellipses of (1) and (4) are again identical by the method of Footnote 2.  Subtracting (4) from (1) gives $(1)-(4) = S-S\cdot r^N = g+g\cdot r + g\cdot r^2+...+ g\cdot r^{N-1}$ $S\cdot \left( 1-r^N \right) = g\cdot \left( 1+r+r^2+...+r^{N-1} \right)$  (5) There are two ways to proceed from (5).  You could recognize the right side as a finite geometric sum with first term 1 and ratio r.  Substituting that formula and dividing by $\left( 1-r^N \right)$ would give the general result. Alternatively, I could see students exploring $\left( 1-r^N \right)$, and discovering by hand or by CAS that $(1-r)$ is always a factor.  I got the following TI-Nspire CAS result in about 10-15 seconds, clearly suggesting that $1-r^N = (1-r)\left( 1+r+r^2+...+r^{N-1} \right)$.  (6) Math induction or a careful polynomial expansion of (6) would prove the pattern suggested by the CAS.  From there, dividing both sides of (5) by $\left( 1-r^N \right)$ gives the generic result. $\displaystyle S = \frac{g\cdot \left( 1+r+r^2+...+r^{N-1} \right)}{\left( 1-r^N \right)}$ $\displaystyle S = \frac{g\cdot \left( 1+r+r^2+...+r^{N-1} \right) }{(1-r) \cdot \left( 1+r+r^2+...+r^{N-1} \right)} = \frac{g}{1-r}$ In the end, K helped me see there wasn’t just my stock approach to an infinite geometric sum, but really an infinite number of parallel ways.  Nice. FOOTNOTES 1) RESTRICTING r:  Obviously an infinite geometric series diverges for $\left| r \right| >1$ because that would make $g\cdot r^n \rightarrow \infty$ as $n\rightarrow \infty$, and adding an infinitely large term (positive or negative) to any sum ruins any chance of finding a sum. For $r=1$, the sum converges iff $g=0$ (a rather boring series). If $g \ne 0$ , you get a sum of an infinite number of some nonzero quantity, and that is always infinite, no matter how small or large the nonzero quantity. The last case, $r=-1$, is more subtle.  For $g \ne 0$, this terms of this series alternate between positive and negative g, making the partial sums of the series add to either g or 0, depending on whether you have summed an even or an odd number of terms.  Since the partial sums alternate, the overall sum is divergent.  Remember that series sums and limits are functions; without a single numeric output at a particular point, the function value at that point is considered to be non-existent. 2) NOT ALL INFINITIES ARE THE SAME:  There are two ways to show two groups are the same size.  The obvious way is to count the elements in each group and find out there is the same number of elements in each, but this works only if you have a finite group size.  Alternatively, you could a) match every element in group 1 with a unique element from group 2, and b) match every element in group 2 with a unique element from group 1.  It is important to do both steps here to show that there are no left-over, unpaired elements in either group. So do the ellipses in (1) and (2) represent the same sets?  As the ellipses represent sets with an infinite number of elements, the first comparison technique is irrelevant.  For the second approach using pairing, we need to compare individual elements.  For every element in the ellipsis of (1), obviously there is an “partner” in (2) as the multiplication of (1) by r visually shifts all of the terms of the series right one position, creating the necessary matches. Students often are troubled by the second matching as it appears the ellipsis in (2) contains an “extra term” from the right shift.  But, for every specific term you identify in (2), its identical twin exists in (1).  In the weirdness of infinity, that “extra term” appears to have been absorbed without changing the “size” of the infinity. Since there is a 1:1 mapping of all elements in the ellipses of (1) and (2), you can conclude they are identical, and their difference is zero. ## Probability, Polynomials, and Sicherman Dice Three years ago, I encountered a question on the TI-Nspire Google group asking if there was a way to use CAS to solve probability problems.  The ideas I pitched in my initial response and follow-up a year later (after first using it with students in a statistics class) have been thoroughly re-confirmed in my first year teaching AP Statistics.  I’ll quickly re-share them below before extending the concept with ideas I picked up a couple weeks ago from Steve Phelps’ session on Probability, Polynomials, and CAS at the 64th annual OCTM conference earlier this month in Cleveland, OH. BINOMIALS:  FROM POLYNOMIALS TO SAMPLE SPACES Once you understand them, binomial probability distributions aren’t that difficult, but the initial conjoining of combinatorics and probability makes this a perennially difficult topic for many students.  The standard formula for the probability of determining the chances of K successes in N attempts of a binomial situation where p is the probability of a single success in a single attempt is no less daunting: $\displaystyle \left( \begin{matrix} N \\ K \end{matrix} \right) p^K (1-p)^{N-K} = \frac{N!}{K! (N-K)!} p^K (1-p)^{N-K}$ But that is almost exactly the same result one gets by raising binomials to whole number powers, so why not use a CAS to expand a polynomial and at least compute the $\displaystyle \left( \begin{matrix} N \\ K \end{matrix} \right)$ portion of the probability?  One added advantage of using a CAS is that you could use full event names instead of abbreviations, making it even easier to identify the meaning of each event. The TI-Nspire output above shows the entire sample space resulting from flipping a coin 6 times.  Each term is an event.  Within each term, the exponent of each variable notes the number of times that variable occurs and the coefficient is the number of times that combination occurs.  The overall exponent in the expand command is the number of trials.  For example, the middle term– $20\cdot heads^3 \cdot tails^3$ –says that there are 20 ways you could get 3 heads and 3 tails when tossing a coin 6 times. The last term is just $tails^6$, and its implied coefficient is 1, meaning there is just one way to flip 6 tails in 6 tosses. The expand command makes more sense than memorized algorithms and provides context to students until they gain a deeper understanding of what’s actually going on. FROM POLYNOMIALS TO PROBABILITY Still using the expand command, if each variable is preceded by its probability, the CAS result combines the entire sample space AND the corresponding probability distribution function.  For example, when rolling a fair die four times, the distribution for 1s vs. not 1s (2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) is given by The highlighted term says there is a 38.58% chance that there will be exactly one 1 and any three other numbers (2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) in four rolls of a fair 6-sided die.  The probabilities of the other four events in the sample space are also shown.  Within the TI-Nspire (CAS or non-CAS), one could use a command to give all of these probabilities simultaneously (below), but then one has to remember whether the non-contextualized probabilities are for increasing or decreasing values of which binomial outcome. Particularly early on in their explorations of binomial probabilities, students I’ve taught have shown a very clear preference for the polynomial approach, even when allowed to choose any approach that makes sense to them. TAKING POLYNOMIALS FROM ONE DIE TO MANY Given these earlier thoughts, I was naturally drawn to Steve Phelps “Probability, Polynomials, and CAS” session at the November 2014 OCTM annual meeting in Cleveland, OH.  Among the ideas he shared was using polynomials to create the distribution function for the sum of two fair 6-sided dice.  My immediate thought was to apply my earlier ideas.  As noted in my initial post, the expansion approach above is not limited to binomial situations.  My first reflexive CAS command in Steve’s session before he share anything was this. By writing the outcomes in words, the CAS interprets them as variables.  I got the entire sample space, but didn’t learn gain anything beyond a long polynomial.  The first output– $five^2$ –with its implied coefficient says there is 1 way to get 2 fives.  The second term– $2\cdot five \cdot four$ –says there are 2 ways to get 1 five and 1 four.  Nice that the technology gives me all the terms so quickly, but it doesn’t help me get a distribution function of the sum.  I got the distributions of the specific outcomes, but the way I defined the variables didn’t permit sum of their actual numerical values.  Time to listen to the speaker. He suggested using a common variable, X, for all faces with the value of each face expressed as an exponent.  That is, a standard 6-sided die would be represented by $X^1+X^2+ X^3+X^4+X^5+X^6$ where the six different exponents represent the numbers on the six faces of a typical 6-sided die.  Rolling two such dice simultaneously is handled as I did earlier with the binomial cases. NOTE:  Exponents are handled in TWO different ways here.  1) Within a single polynomial, an exponent is an event value, and 2) Outside a polynomial, an exponent indicates the number of times that polynomial is applied within the specific event.  Coefficients have the same meaning as before. Because the variables are now the same, when specific terms are multiplied, their exponents (face values) will be added–exactly what I wanted to happen.  That means the sum of the faces when you roll two dice is determined by the following. Notice that the output is a single polynomial.  Therefore, the exponents are the values of individual cases.  For a couple examples, there are 3 ways to get a sum of 10 $\left( 3 \cdot x^{10} \right)$, 2 ways to get a sum of 3 $\left( 2 \cdot x^3 \right)$, etc.  The most commonly occurring outcome is the term with the largest coefficient.  For rolling two standard fair 6-sided dice, a sum of 7 is the most common outcome, occurring 6 times $\left( 6 \cdot x^7 \right)$.  That certainly simplifies the typical 6×6 tables used to compute the sums and probabilities resulting from rolling two dice. While not the point of Steve’s talk, I immediately saw that technology had just opened the door to problems that had been computationally inaccessible in the past.  For example, what is the most common sum when rolling 5 dice and what is the probability of that sum?  On my CAS, I entered this. In the middle of the expanded polynomial are two terms with the largest coefficients, $780 \cdot x^{18}$ and $780 \cdot x^{19}$, meaning a sums of 17 and 18 are the most common, equally likely outcomes when rolling 5 dice.  As there are $6^5=7776$ possible outcomes when rolling a die 5 times, the probability of each of these is $\frac{780}{7776} \approx 0.1003$, or about 10.03% chance each for a sum of 17 or 18.  This can be verified by inserting the probabilities as coefficients before each term before CAS expanding. With thought, this shouldn’t be surprising as the expected mean value of rolling a 6-sided die many times is 3.5, and $5 \cdot 3.5 = 17.5$, so the integers on either side of 17.5 (17 & 18) should be the most common.  Technology confirms intuition. ROLLING DIFFERENT DICE SIMULTANEOUSLY What is the distribution of sums when rolling a 4-sided and a 6-sided die together?  No problem.  Just multiply two different polynomials, one representative of each die. The output shows that sums of 5, 6, and 7 would be the most common, each occurring four times with probability $\frac{1}{6}$ and together accounting for half of all outcomes of rolling these two dice together. A BEAUTIFUL EXTENSION–SICHERMAN DICE My most unexpected gain from Steve’s talk happened when he asked if we could get the same distribution of sums as “normal” 6-sided dice, but from two different 6-sided dice.  The only restriction he gave was that all of the faces of the new dice had to have positive values.  This can be approached by realizing that the distribution of sums of the two normal dice can be found by multiplying two representative polynomials to get $x^{12}+2x^{11}+3x^{10}+4x^9+5x^8+6x^7+5x^6+4x^5+3x^4+2x^3+x^2$. Restating the question in the terms of this post, are there two other polynomials that could be multiplied to give the same product?  That is, does this polynomial factor into other polynomials that could multiply to the same product?  A CAS factor command gives Any rearrangement of these eight (four distinct) sub-polynomials would create the same distribution as the sum of two dice, but what would the the separate sub-products mean in terms of the dice?  As a first example, what if the first two expressions were used for one die (line 1 below) and the two squared trinomials comprised a second die (line 2)? Line 1 actually describes a 4-sided die with one face of 4, two faces with 3s, and one face of 2.  Line 2 describes a 9-sided die (whatever that is) with one face of 8, two faces of 6, three faces of 4, two faces of 2, and one face with a 0 ( $1=1 \cdot x^0$).  This means rolling a 4-sided and a 9-sided die as described would give exactly the same sum distribution.  Cool, but not what I wanted.  Now what? Factorization gave four distinct sub-polynomials, each with multitude 2.  One die could contain 0, 1, or 2 of each of these with the remaining factors on the other die.  That means there are $3^4=81$ different possible dice combinations.  I could continue with a trail-and-error approach, but I wanted to be more efficient and elegant. What follows is the result of thinking about the problem for a while.  Like most math solutions to interesting problems, ultimate solutions are typically much cleaner and more elegant than the thoughts that went into them.  Problem solving is a messy–but very rewarding–business. SOLUTION Here are my insights over time: 1) I realized that the $x^2$ term would raise the power (face values) of the desired dice, but would not change the coefficients (number of faces).  Because Steve asked for dice with all positive face values.  That meant each desired die had to have at least one x to prevent non-positive face values. 2) My first attempt didn’t create 6-sided dice.  The sums of the coefficients of the sub-polynomials determined the number of sides.  That sum could also be found by substituting $x=1$ into the sub-polynomial.  I want 6-sided dice, so the final coefficients must add to 6.  The coefficients of the factored polynomials of any die individually must add to 2, 3, or 6 and have a product of 6.  The coefficients of $(x+1)$ add to 2, $\left( x^2+x+1 \right)$ add to 3, and $\left( x^2-x+1 \right)$ add to 1.  The only way to get a polynomial coefficient sum of 6 (and thereby create 6-sided dice) is for each die to have one $(x+1)$ factor and one $\left( x^2+x+1 \right)$ factor. 3) That leaves the two $\left( x^2-x+1 \right)$ factors.  They could split between the two dice or both could be on one die, leaving none on the other.  We’ve already determined that each die already had to have one each of the x, $(x+1)$, and $\left( x^2+x+1 \right)$ factors.  To also split the $\left( x^2-x+1 \right)$ factors would result in the original dice:  Two normal 6-sided dice.  If I want different dice, I have to load both of these factors on one die. That means there is ONLY ONE POSSIBLE alternative for two 6-sided dice that have the same sum distribution as two normal 6-sided dice. One die would have single faces of 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 1.  The other die would have one 4, two 3s, two 2s, and one 1.  And this is exactly the result of the famous(?) Sicherman Dice. If a 0 face value was allowed, shift one factor of x from one polynomial to the other.  This can be done two ways. The first possibility has dice with faces {9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2} and {3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0}, and the second has faces {7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0} and {5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2}, giving the only other two non-negative solutions to the Sicherman Dice. Both of these are nothing more than adding one to all faces of one die and subtracting one from from all faces of the other.  While not necessary to use polynomials to compute these, they are equivalent to multiplying the polynomial of one die by x and the other by $\frac{1}{x}$ as many times as desired. That means there are an infinite number of 6-sided dice with the same sum distribution as normal 6-sided dice if you allow the sides to have negative faces.  One of these is corresponding to a pair of Sicherman Dice with faces {6, 4, 3, 2, 1, -1} and {1,5,5,4,4,3}. CONCLUSION: There are other very interesting properties of Sicherman Dice, but this is already a very long post.  In the end, there are tremendous connections between probability and polynomials that are accessible to students at the secondary level and beyond.  And CAS keeps the focus on student learning and away from the manipulations that aren’t even the point in these explorations. Enjoy. ## Number Bases and Polynomials About a month ago, I was working with our 5th grade math teacher to develop some extension activities for some students in an unleveled class.  The class was exploring place value, and I suggested that some might be ready to explore what happens when you allow the number base to be something other than 10.  A few students had some fun learning to use their basic four algorithms in other number bases, but I made an even deeper connection. When writing something like 512 in expanded form ($5\cdot 10^2+1\cdot 10^1+2\cdot 10^0$), I realized that if the 10 was an x, I’d have a polynomial.  I’d recognized this before, but this time I wondered what would happen if I applied basic math algorithms to polynomials if I wrote them in a condensed numerical form, not their standard expanded form.  That is, could I do basic algebra on $5x^2+x+2$ if I thought of it as $512_x$–a base-x “number”?  (To avoid other confusion later, I read this as “five one two base-x“.) Following are some examples I played with to convince myself how my new notation would work.  I’m not convinced that this will ever lead to anything, but following my “what ifs” all the way to infinite series was a blast.  Read on! If I wanted to add $(3x+5)$$(2x^2+4x+1)$, I could think of it as $35_x+241_x$ and add the numbers “normally” to get $276_x$ or $2x^2+7x+6$.  Notice that each power of x identifies a “place value” for its characteristic coefficient. If I wanted to add $3x-7$ to itself, I had to adapt my notation a touch.  The “units digit” is a negative number, but since the number base, x, is unknown (or variable), I ended up saying $3x-7=3(-7)_x$.  The parentheses are used to contain multiple characters into a single place value.  Then, $(3x-7)+(3x-7)$ becomes $3(-7)_x+3(-7)_x=6(-14)_x$ or $6x-14$.  Notice the expanding parentheses containing the base-x units digit. The last example also showed me that simple multiplication would work.  Adding $3x-7$ to itself is equivalent to multiplying $2\cdot (3x-7)$.  In base-x, that is $2\cdot 3(-7)_x$.  That’s easy!  Arguably, this might be even easier that doubling a number when the number base is known.  Without interactions between the coefficients of different place values, just double each digit to get $6(-14)_x=6x-14$, as before. What about $(x^2+7)+(8x-9)$?  That’s equivalent to $107_x+8(-9)_x$.  While simple, I’ll solve this one by stacking. and this is $x^2+8x-2$.  As with base-10 numbers, the use of 0 is needed to hold place values exactly as I needed a 0 to hold the $x^1$ place for $x^2+7$. Again, this could easily be accomplished without the number base conversion, but how much more can we push these boundaries? Level 3–Multiplication & Powers: Compute $(8x-3)^2$.  Stacking again and using a modification of the multiply-and-carry algorithm I learned in grade school, I got and this is equivalent to $64x^2-48x+9$. All other forms of polynomial multiplication work just fine, too. From one perspective, all of this shifting to a variable number base could be seen as completely unnecessary.  We already have acceptably working algorithms for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.  But then, I really like how this approach completes the connection between numerical and polynomial arithmetic.  The rules of math don’t change just because you introduce variables.  For some, I’m convinced this might make a big difference in understanding. I also like how easily this extends polynomial by polynomial multiplication far beyond the bland monomial and binomial products that proliferate in virtually all modern textbooks.  Also banished here is any need at all for banal FOIL techniques. Level 4–Division: What about $x^2+x-6$ divided by $x+3$? In base-x, that’s $11(-6)_x \div 13_x$. Remembering that there is no place value carrying possible, I had to be a little careful when setting up my computation. Focusing only on the lead digits, 1 “goes into” 1 one time.  Multiplying the partial quotient by the divisor, writing the result below and subtracting gives Then, 1 “goes into” -2 negative two times.  Multiplying and subtracting gives a remainder of 0. thereby confirming that $x+3$ is a factor of $x^2+x-6$, and the other factor is the quotient, $x-2$. Perhaps this could be used as an alternative to other polynomial division algorithms.  It is somewhat similar to the synthetic division technique, without its  significant limitations:  It is not limited to linear divisors with lead coefficients of one. For $(4x^3-5x^2+7) \div (2x^2-1)$, think $4(-5)07_x \div 20(-1)_x$.  Stacking and dividing gives So $\displaystyle \frac{4x^3-5x^2+7}{2x^2-1}=2x-2.5+\frac{2x+4.5}{2x^2-1}$. CONCLUSION From all I’ve been able to tell, converting polynomials to their base-x number equivalents enables you to perform all of the same arithmetic computations.  For division in particular, it seems this method might even be a bit easier. In my next post, I push the exploration of these base-x numbers into infinite series. ## Extending graph control This article takes my idea from yesterday’s post about using $g(x)=\sqrt \frac{\left | x \right |}{x}$ to control the appearance of a graph and extends it in two ways. • Part I below uses Desmos to graph $y=(x+2)^3x^2(x-1)$ from the left and right simultaneously • Part II was inspired by my Twitter colleague John Burk who asked if this control could be extended in a different direction. Part I: Simultaneous Control When graphing polynomials like $y=(x+2)^3x^2(x-1)$, I encourage my students to use both its local behavior (cubic root at $x=-2$, quadratic root at $x=0$, and linear root at $x=1$) and its end behavior (6th degree polynomial with a positive lead coefficient means $y\rightarrow +\infty$ as $x\rightarrow\pm\infty$). To start graphing, I suggest students plot points on the x-intercepts and then sketch arrows to indicate the end behavior.  In the past, this was something we did on paper, but couldn’t get technology to replicate it live–until this idea. In class last week, I used a minor extension of yesterday’s idea to control a graph’s appearance from the left and right simultaneously.  Yesterday’s post suggested  multiplying  by $\sqrt \frac{\left | a-x \right |}{a-x}$ to show the graph of a function from the left for $x.  Creating a second graph multiplied by $\sqrt \frac{\left | x-b \right |}{x-b}$ gives a graph of your function from the right for $b.  The following images show the polynomial’s graph developing in a few stages.  You can access the Desmos file here. First graph the end behavior (pull the a and b sliders in a bit to see just the ends of the graph) and plot points at the x-intercepts. From here, you could graph left-to-right or right-to-left.  I’ll come in from the right to show the new right side controller. The root at $x=1$ is linear, so decreasing the b slider to just below 1 shows this. Continuing from the right, the next root is a bounce at $x=0$, as shown by decreasing the b slider below 0.  Notice that this forces a relative minimum for some $0. Just because it’s possible, I’ll now show the cubic intercept at $x=2$ by increasing the a slider above 2. All that remains is to connect the two sides of the graph, creating one more relative minimum in $-2. The same level of presentation control can be had for any function’s graph. Part II: Vertical Control I hadn’t thought to extend this any further until my colleague asked if a graph could be controlled up and down instead of left and right.  My guess is that the idea hadn’t occurred to me because I typically think about controlling a function through its domain.  Even so, a couple minor adjustments accomplished it.  Click here to see a vertical control of the graph of $y=x^3$ from above and below. Enjoy. ## Quadratics, Statistics, Symmetry, and Tranformations A problem I assigned my precalculus class this past Thursday ended up with multiple solutions by the time we finished.  Huzzah for student creativity! The question: Find equations for all polynomial functions, $y=f(x)$, of degree $\le 2$ for which $f(0)=f(1)=2$ and $f(3)=0$. After they had worked on this (along with several variations on the theme), four very different ways of thinking about this problem emerged.  All were valid and even led to a lesson I hadn’t planned–proving that, even though they looked different algebraically, all were equivalent.  I present their approaches (and a few extras) in the order they were offered in our post-solving debriefing. The commonality among the approaches was their recognition that 3 non-collinear points uniquely define a vertical parabola, so they didn’t need to worry about polynomials of degree 0 or 1.  (They haven’t yet heard about rotated curves that led to my earlier post on rotated quadratics.) Solution 1–Regression:  Because only 3 points were given, a quadratic regression would derive a perfectly fitting quadratic equation.  Using their TI-Nspire CASs, they started by entering the 3 ordered pairs in a Lists&Spreadsheets window.  Most then went to a Calculator window to compute a quadratic regression.  Below, I show the same approach using a Data&Statistics window instead so I could see simultaneously the curve fit and the given points. The decimals were easy enough to interpret, so even though they were presented in decimal form, these students reported $y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2+\frac{1}{3}x+2$. For a couple seconds after this was presented, I honestly felt a little cheated.  I was hoping they would tap the geometric or algebraic properties of quadratics to get their equations.  But I then I remembered that I clearly hadn’t make that part of my instructions.  After my initial knee-jerk reaction, I realized this group of students had actually done exactly what I explicitly have been encouraging them to do: think freely and take advantage of every tool they have to find solutions.  Nothing in the problem statement suggested technology or regressions, so while I had intended a more geometric approach, I realized I actually owed these students some kudos for a very creative, insightful, and technology-based solution.  This and Solution 2 were the most frequently chosen approaches. Solution 2–Systems:  Equations of quadratic functions are typically presented in standard, factored, or vertex form.  Since neither two zeros nor the vertex were explicitly given, the largest portion of the students used the standard form, $y=a\cdot x^2+b\cdot x+c$ to create a 3×3 system of equations.  Some solved this by hand, but most invoked a CAS solution.  Notice the elegance of the solve command they used, working from the generic polynomial equation that kept them from having to write all three equations, keeping their focus on the form of the equation they sought. This created the same result as Solution 1, $y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2+\frac{1}{3}x+2$. CAS Aside: No students offered these next two solutions, but I believe when using a CAS, it is important for users to remember that the machine typically does not care what output form you want.  The standard form is the only “algebraically simple” approach when setting up a solution by hand, but the availability of technology makes solving for any form equally accessible. The next screen shows that the vertex and factored forms are just as easily derived as the standard form my students found in Solution 2. I was surprised when the last line’s output wasn’t in vertex form, $y=-\frac{1}{3}\cdot \left ( x-\frac{1}{2} \right )^2+\frac{25}{12}$, but the coefficients in its expanded form clearly show the equivalence between this form and the standard forms derived in Solutions 1 and 2–a valuable connection. Solution 3–Symmetry:  Two students said they noticed that $f(0)=f(1)=2$ guaranteed the vertex of the parabola occurred at $x=\frac{1}{2}$.  Because $f(3)=0$ defined one real root of the unknown quadratic, the parabola’s symmetry guaranteed another at $x=-2$, giving potential equation $y=a\cdot (x-3)(x+2)$.  They substituted the given (0,2) to solve for a, giving final equation $y=-\frac{1}{3}\cdot (x-3)(x+2)$ as confirmed by the CAS approach above. Solution 4–Transformations:  One of the big lessons I repeat in every class I teach is this: If you don’t like how a question is posed.  Change it! Notice that two of the given points have the same y-coordinate.  If that y-coordinate had been 0 (instead of its given value, 2), a factored form would be simple.  Well, why not force them to be x-intercepts by translating all of the given points down 2 units? The transformed data show x-intercepts at 0 and 1 with another ordered pair at $(3,-2)$.  From here, the factored form is easy:  $y=a\cdot (x-0)(x-1)$.  Substituting $(3,-2)$ gives $a=-\frac{1}{3}$ and the final equation is $y=-\frac{1}{3}\cdot (x-0)(x-1)$ . Of course, this is an equation for the transformed points.  Sliding the result back up two units, $y=-\frac{1}{3}\cdot (x-0)(x-1)+2$, gives an equation for the given points.  Aside from its lead coefficient, this last equation looked very different from the other forms, but some quick expansion proved its equivalence. Conclusion:  It would have been nice if someone had used the symmetry noted in Solution 3 to attempt a vertex-form answer via systems.  Given the vertex at $x=\frac{1}{2}$ with an unknown y-coordinate, a potential equation is $y=a\cdot \left ( x-\frac{1}{2} \right )^2+k$.  Substituting $(3,0)$ and either $(0,2)\text{ or }(1,2)$ creates a 2×2 system of linear equations, $\left\{\begin{matrix} 0=a\cdot \left ( 3-\frac{1}{2} \right )^2+k \\ 2=a\cdot \left ( 0-\frac{1}{2} \right )^2+k \end{matrix}\right.$.  From there, a by-hand or CAS solution would have been equally acceptable to me. That the few alternative approaches I offered above weren’t used didn’t matter in the end.  My students were creative, followed their own instincts to find solutions that aligned with their thinking, and clearly appreciated the alternative ways their classmates used to find answers.  Creativity and individual expression reigned, while everyone broadened their understanding that there’s not just one way to do math. It was a good day. ## Cubics and CAS Here’s a question I posed to one of my precalculus classes for homework at the end of last week along with three solutions we developed. Suppose the graph of a cubic function has an inflection point at (1,3) and passes through (0,-4). 1. Name one other point that MUST be on the curve, and 2. give TWO different cubic equations that would pass through the three points. SOLUTION ALERT!  Don’t read any further if you want to solve this problem for yourself. The first question relies on the fact that every cubic function has 180 degree rotational symmetry about its inflection point.  This is equivalent to saying that the graph of a cubic function is its own image when the function’s graph is reflected through its inflection point. That means the third point is the image of (0,-4) when point-reflected through the inflection point (1,3), which is the point (2,10) as shown graphically below. From here, my students came up with 2 different solutions to the second question and upon prodding, we created a third. SOLUTION 1:  Virtually every student assumed $y=a\cdot x^3$ was the parent function of a cubic with unknown leading coefficient whose “center” (inflection point) had been slid to (1,3).  Plugging in the given (0,-4) to $(y-3)=a\cdot (x-1)^3$ gives $a=7$.  Here’s their graph. SOLUTION 2:  Many students had difficulty coming up with another equation.  A few could sketch in other cubic graphs (curiously, all had positive lead coefficients) that contained the 3 points above, but didn’t know how to find equations.  That’s when Sara pointed out that if the generic expanded form of a cubic was $a\cdot x^3+b\cdot x^2 +c\cdot x+d$ , then any 4 ordered pairs with unique x-coordinates should define a unique cubic.  That is, if we picked any 4th point with x not 0, 1, or 2, then we should get an equation.  That this would create a 4×4 system of equations didn’t bother her at all.  She knew in theory how to solve such a thing, but she was thinking on a much higher plane.  Her CAS technology expeditiously did the grunt work, allowing her brain to keep moving. A doubtful classmate called out, “OK.  Make it go through (100,100).”  Following is a CAS screen roughly duplicating Sara’s approach and a graph confirming the fit.  The equation was onerous, but with a quick copy-paste, Sara had moved from  idea to computation to ugly equation and graph in just a couple minutes.  The doubter was convinced and the “wow”s from throughout the room conveyed the respect for the power of a properly wielded CAS. In particular, notice how the TI-Nspire CAS syntax in lines 1 and 3 keep the user’s focus on the type of equation being solved and eliminates the need to actually enter 4 separate equations.  It doesn’t always work, but it’s a particularly lovely piece of scaffolding when it does. SOLUTION 3:  One of my goals in Algebra II and Precalculus courses is to teach my students that they don’t need to always accept problems as stated.  Sometimes they can change initial conditions to create a much cleaner work environment so long as they transform their “clean” solution back to the state of the initial conditions. In this case, I asked what would happen if they translated the inflection point using $T_{-1,-3}$ to the origin, making the other given point (-1,-7).  Several immediately called the 3rd point to be (1,7) which “untranslating” — $T_{1,3}(1,7)=(2,10)$ — confirmed to be the earlier finding. For cases where the cubic had another real root at $x=r$, then symmetry immediately made $x=-r$ another root, and a factored form of the equation becomes $y=a\cdot (x)(x-r)(x+r)$ for some value of a.  Plugging in (-1,-7) gives a in terms of r. The last line slid the initially translated equation using $T_{1,3}$ to re-position the previous line according to the initial conditions.  While unasked for, notice how the CAS performed some polynomial division on the right-side expression. I created a GeoGebra document with a slider for the root using the equation from the last line of the CAS image above.  The image below shows one possible position of the retranslated root.  If you want to play with a live version of this, you will need a free copy of GeoGebra to run it, but the file is here. What’s nice here is how the problem became one of simple factors once the inflection point was translated to the origin.  Notice also that the CAS version of the equation concludes with $+7x-4$, the line containing the original three points.  This is nice for two reasons.  The numerator of the rational term is $-7x(x-2)(x-1)$ which zeros out the fraction at x=0, 1, or 2, putting the cubic exactly on the line $y=7x-4$ at those points. The only r-values are in the denominator, so as $r\rightarrow\infty$, the rational term also becomes zero.  Graphically, you can see this happen as the cubic “unrolls” onto $y=7x-4$ as you drag $|x|\rightarrow\infty$.  Essentially, this shows both graphically and algebraically that $y=7x-4$ is the limiting degenerate curve the cubic function approaches as two of its transformed real roots grow without bound. ## Recognizing Patterns I’ve often told my students that the best problem solvers are those who recognize patterns from past problems in new situations.  So, the best way to become a better problem solver is to solve lots of problems, study the ways others have solved the problems you’ve already cracked (or at least attempted), and to keep pushing your boundaries because you never know what parts of what you learn may end up providing unexpected future insights. I lay no claims to being a great problem solver, but I absolutely benefited from problem solving exposure when I encountered @jamestanton‘s latest “Playing with Numbers” puzzler from his May 2012 Cool Math Newsletter.  (Click here to access all of Jim’s newsletters).  (BTW, Jim’s Web page is chock full of amazing videos and insights both on the problem-solving front and for those interested in curriculum discussions.)  Here’s what Jim posed: Write the numbers 1 though 10 on the board. Pick any two numbers, erase them, and replace them with the single number given by their sum plus their product. (So, if you choose to erase the numbers a and b, replace them with a + b + ab .) You now have nine numbers on the board. Do this again: Pick any two numbers, erase them, and replace them with their sum plus product. You now have eight numbers on the board. Do this seven more times until you have a single number on the board. Why do all who play this game end up with the same single number at the end?  What is that final number? SOLUTION ALERT:  Don’t read any further if you want to solve this yourself. I started small and general.  If the first two numbers (a and b) produce $a+b+ab$, then adding c to the original list gives $[(a+b+ab)+c]+ [(a+b+ab)\cdot c]$ which can be rewritten as $a+b+c+ab+ac+bc+abc$.  That’s when the intuition struck.  Notice that the rewritten form is the sum of every individual number in the list, AND every possible pair of those numbers, AND concludes with the product of the three numbers. I’ve seen that pattern before! Given an nth degree polynomial with roots $r_1, r_2, \ldots r_n$, it’s factored form is $(x-r_1)\cdot (x-r_2)\cdot\ldots\cdot (x-r_n)$ which can be expanded and rewritten as $x^n-(r_1+r_2+\ldots+r_n)\cdot x^{n-1}+$ $+(\text{every pair-wise product of } r_1 \ldots r_n)\cdot x^{n-2}-$ $-(\text{every three-way product of } r_1 \ldots r_n)\cdot x^{n-3}+\ldots$ $\ldots \pm (r_1\cdot r_2\cdot \ldots\cdot r_n)$ Where the sign of the final term is positive for even n and negative for odd n.  I saw this in many algebra textbooks when I started teaching over 20 years ago, but haven’t encountered it lately.  Then again, I haven’t been looking for it. Here’s the point … other than the alternating signs, the coefficients of the expanded polynomial are exactly identical to the sums I was getting from Jim’s problem.  That’s when I rewrote my original problem on my CAS to $(x+a)\cdot (x+b)\cdot (x+c)$ and expanded it (see line 1 below).  The coefficients of $x^2$ are the individual numbers, the coefficients of $x$ are all the pair-wise combinations, and the constant term drifting off the end of the line is $a\cdot b\cdot c$.  And I eliminated the $\pm$ sign challenge by individually adding the numbers instead of subtracting them as I had in the polynomial root example that inspired my insight.  Let $x=1$ to clean up and make the pattern more obvious. So, creating a polynomial with the given numbers and substituting $x=1$ will create a number one more than the sum I wanted (note the extra +1 resulting from the coefficient of $x^n$).  Using pi notation, substituting $x=1$, and subtracting 1 gives the answer.  In case you didn’t know, pi notation works exactly the same as sigma notation, but you multiply the terms instead of adding them. The solution–39,916,799–is surprisingly large given the initial problem statement, and while my CAS use confirmed my intuition and effortlessly crunched the numbers, its tendency to multiply numbers whenever encountered has actually hidden something pretty. From the top line of the last image, substituting $x=1$ would have created the product $2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot\ldots \cdot 11$ which the penultimate line computed to be 39916800.  But before the product, that number was $11!$, making $11!-1$ a far more revealing version of the solution. MORAL:  Even after you have an answer, take some time to review what has happened to give yourself a chance to learn even more. EXTENSION 1:  Instead of 1 to 10 as the initial numbers, what if the list went from 1 to any positive integer n?  Prove that the final number on the board is $(n+1)!-1$. EXTENSION 2:  While a positive integer sequence starting at 1 (or 0) produces a nice factorial in the answer, this approach can be used with any number list.  For example, follow Jim’s rules with 37, 5, -2, and 7.9.  Use the polynomial approach below for a quick solution of -2030.2.  Confirm using the original rules if you need. EXTENSION 3:  By now it should be obvious that any list of numbers can be used in this problem.  Prove that every list of numbers which includes -1 has the same solution. EXTENSION 4:  Before explaining some lovely extensions of problems like this to generalized commutativity and associativity, Jim’s May 12 Cool Math Newsletter asks what would happen if instead of $a+b+ab$, the rule for combining a and b was $\displaystyle\frac{a\cdot b}{a+b}$.  You can show that with three terms, this would become $\displaystyle\frac{abc}{ab+ac+bc}$, and four terms would give $\displaystyle\frac{abcd}{abc+abd+acd+bcd}$. In other words, this rule would morph n original numbers into a fraction whose numerator is the product of the numbers and whose denominator is the sum of all possible products of any (n-1)-sized groups of those numbers.  For the original integers 1 to 10, I know the numerator and denominator terms are the last two coefficients in a polynomial expansion. The final fraction simplifies, but I think $\displaystyle\frac{3628800}{10628640}$ is slightly more informative. Happy thoughts, problems, solutions, and connections to you all.

A. 5 B. 4 C. 3 D. 1 E. 0 Since 4 = 2^2, we are actually trying to determine the largest value y such that 2^(2y) is a factor of 9!. Let’s first determine the number of factors of 2 within 9!. To do that, we can use the following shortcut in which we divide 9 by 2, and then divide the quotient of 9/2 by 2 and continue this process until we can no longer get a nonzero integer as the quotient. 9/2 = 4 (we can ignore the remainder) 4/2 = 2 2/2 = 1 Since 1/2 does not produce a nonzero quotient, we can stop. The final step is to add up our quotients; that sum represents the number of factors of 2 within 9!. Thus, there are 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 factors of 2 within 9! However, we are not asked for the number of factors of 2; instead we are asked for the number of factors of 4. We see that 7 factors of 2 will produce 3 factors of 4. _________________ Jeffrey Miller [email protected] 181 Reviews 5-star rated online GMAT quant self study course See why Target Test Prep is the top rated GMAT quant course on GMAT Club.

# For $t\in [ 0, 1 )$ is $\frac{xe^{tx}}{e^{x}-1}$ integrable over $x\in (0 , \infty )$? For $t\in [ 0, 1 )$ is $$\frac{xe^{tx}}{e^{x}-1}$$ integrable over $x\in (0 , \infty )$? I.e., $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{xe^{tx}}{e^{x}-1} dx < \infty?$$ How do I show this? - As $x\to0$, $x/(e^x-1)$ approaches a finite limit. As $x\to\infty$, do a limit-comparison of the integrand to $xe^{tx}/e^x$. - As $\frac x{e^x-1}$ as a limit when $x\to 0$ (namely $1$), the only problem is when $x\to\infty$. We have $e^x-1\sim e^x$ at $+\infty$, so $\dfrac{xe^{tx}}{e^x-1}\sim xe^{(t-1)x}$. Using Taylor's series, $$e^{(t-1)x}\leq \frac 1{1+(1-t)x+x^2(1-t)^2/2+x^3(1-t)^3/6},$$ the integral is convergent for $t\in[0,1)$. - Doesn't the first limit go to $1$ instead of $e^{–1}$? –  Pedro Tamaroff Oct 23 '12 at 13:05 @PeterTamaroff Right. Fixed now. –  Davide Giraudo Oct 23 '12 at 13:14 What matters in the improper integral of a nice function (e.g. elementary function) is the existence of singularities. In a broad sense, there are two kinds of singularities that counts. 1. A point where the integrand does not behave well. For example, the function can explode to infinite or oscillate infinitely. 2. A point at infinity. That is, $\pm \infty$. Away from singularities, the behavior of the function is quite under control, allowing us to concentrate our attention on those singularities. There is a basic method to establish the convergence (or divergence) of the integral near each singularity point. In many cases, except for the oscillatory case, you can find a dominating function that determines the order of magnitude of the function near the point. If the dominating function is easy to integrate, then you can make a comparison with this dominating function to conclude the convergence behavior. For example, let us consider $$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \tan^2 x \, dx \quad \text{and} \quad \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x^2 e^{-x}}{1+x^2} \, dx.$$ We can easily check that $\tan^2 x$ is bounded below by $(x-\frac{\pi}{2})^{-2}$ near the singularity $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $x^2 e^{-x} / (1 + x^2)$ is bounded above by $e^{-x}$ near the singularity $x = \infty$. Then $$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}-\delta}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \tan^2 x \, dx \geq \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}-\delta}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left(x - \frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{2} \, dx = \infty$$ for sufficiently small $\delta > 0$ and $$\int_{R}^{\infty} \frac{x^2 e^{-x}}{1+x^2}\,dx \leq \int_{R}^{\infty} e^{-x} \, dx < \infty$$ for sufficiently large $R > 0$. Thus we find that the former diverges to $\infty$ and the latter converges. In our example, there are two seemingly singular points, namely $x = 0$ and $x = \infty$. At $x = 0$, we find that $$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{x e^{tx}}{e^x - 1} = 1.$$ This means that this singularity is removable, in the sense that the function can be extended in a continuous manner to this point. Thus we need not count this point and we can move our attention to the point at infinity. To establish the convergence (or possibly divergence) of the integral near $x = \infty$, we write $$\frac{x e^{tx}}{e^x - 1} = \frac{x}{1 - e^{-x}} e^{-(1-t)x}.$$ It is clear that for sufficiently large $x$, the term $\frac{x}{1 - e^{-x}}$ is bounded above by some constant $C > 0$. Thus the dominating function is $e^{-(1-t)x}$ and $$\int_{R}^{\infty} \frac{x e^{tx}}{e^x - 1} \, dx \leq \int_{R}^{\infty} C e^{-(1-t)x} \, dx < \infty$$ for large $R$. Therefore the improper integral converges. - Thanks for your answers and especially for this limit method. But in this way, I actually found a simpler bound, namely, the following: observe $$\frac{xe^{tx}}{e^{x}-1}=\frac{xe^{(1/2)(t-1)x}}{1-e^{-x}}e^{(1/2)(t-1)x}$$ $$\frac{xe^{(1/2)(t-1)x}}{1-e^{-x}}<M$$ for a constant $M>0$ as $$\frac{xe^{(1/2)(t-1)x}}{1-e^{-x}}$$ is continuous and the limits for $x\to 0$ and $x \to \infty$ are finite. And this can be directly used for the integrability of the function. -

Let's look at two most common ways to solve this question. We will share two more ways of solving this question tomorrow. Method 1 : • Let us consider the price of the consumer good at the beginning of 2012 to be 100. • Let us also assume the price to be “C” at the beginning of 2013, after an increase of p%. • Since we know that with respect to the initial price, the price at the end of 2013 went up by 10%. o Therefore, the price at the end of 2013 = $$100 + (10$$ % of $$100) = 110$$ • Now we can write - o $$C – 12$$ % of $$C = 110$$ o $$C * (1 - \frac {12}{100}) = 110$$ o $$C = 110 * \frac {25}{22} = 125$$ Therefore, the price at the beginning of 2013 is 125 and we got this value after p% increase over the initial value. Thus, we can write – • $$100 + (p$$ % of $$100) = 125$$ • $$P = 25$$ % Method 2 : Conventional method – • Let the price of consumer good at the beginning of 2012 be 100. • After an increase of p%, the price at the beginning of 2013 will be – o Price at the beginning of 2013 $$= 100 + (p$$ % of $$100) = 100 + p$$ Therefore the price at the beginning of 2013 is (100 + p) • After a decrease of 12%, the price at the end of 2013 will be – o Value at the beginning of 2013 $$* (1 – \frac{12}{100}) = (100 + p) * \frac {22}{25}$$……………..(i) • And we are also given that the overall increase in the price of consumer good is 10%. • Therefore, the value at the end of 2013 = $$100 + (10$$% of $$100)$$ = 110………(ii) • Equating equation (i) and (ii) we get – o $$(100 + p) * \frac {22}{25} = 110$$ o $$100 + p = 125$$ Therefore, $$p = 25$$% There are more innovative ways to solve this question. A few of them have not been discussed here. Can you all think of any other way to solve it? Would love to see a few other methods! I will post two more ways to solve this question tomorrow. In the mean time, expecting some more responses with other ways to solve this question Thanks, Saquib e-GMAT Quant Expert _________________ Originally posted by EgmatQuantExpert on 15 Dec 2016, 23:26.

In fact, the approach followed by you is very close to one of the innovative ways that we talked about in our official solution. The only difference being in your approach you have concluded that p should be much larger than 12. Going a step further, you can also conclude that p should be larger than 22% (12%+10%). Once you do so, you don't even need to pick any number. The only option which will satisfy it is D. 25%. When we post our detailed solution using the two innovative methods tomorrow, we will explain how we can conclude that p should be greater than 22%.

It is one of the quickest ways to solve a question that involves successive percentage increase/decrease on the same value. Please take a note of this approach and apply it on some GMAT questions to master it. So, let's quickly look at this smart approach. When a number is increased successively by two percentage, let's assume, $$a$$% and $$b$$%, the net increase in the value of the number can be expressed by the formula, Net increase $$=a+b+\frac {ab}{100}$$ Le's take a simple example to understand. If we increase a number, let's say, X successively by 10% and 20% respectively, the net increase according to the above formula should be, Net increase $$=10+20+\frac {10*20}{100}=10+20+\frac {200}{100} = 10+20+2 = 32$$% Isn't that quick!! A nice method to keep in your arsenal to solve Percent question involving successive increase quickly. One good thing about the above formula is that you can use it to calculate the net decrease in case of successive decrease too. All you need to do is in case of decrease represent the percent as negative. Easy isn't it . Let's see an application quickly. If we decrease a number, let's say, X successively by 10% and 20% respectively, the net increase according to the above formula should be, Net increase $$=(-10)+(-20)+\frac {(-10)*(-20)}{100}=-10-20+\frac {200}{100} = -10-20+2 = (-28)$$% Notice carefully, the sign of the net increase is negative, clearly indicating the after the successive decrease the value of the original number, decreased instead of increasing. And what was the magnitude??? Right 28%. The net decrease is 28%. So, before we use this approach to give you an official answer for the above question, would you like to have a quick stab at it. Remember, you need to be careful about the sign of the change. Increase is represented by positive and decrease is represented by negative. All the best. We will post the detailed solution tomorrow and then we will show another innovative method of solving this question.

We know that the price of the consumer good increased by $$p$$% and then decreased by $$12$$%. Hence, using the formula for net increase we can say, Net increase $$=p+(-12)+\frac {p*(-12)}{100}=p-12-\frac {3p}{25} = (\frac {22p}{25} - 12)$$% It is given in the question that the net increase finally is $$10$$%. Hence, we can equate the two values. $$(\frac {22p}{25} - 12)$$% = $$10$$% or, $$\frac {22p}{25} = 10+12 = 22$$% or, $$p = 25$$% Now, with this understanding try to solve this question in an even better way. Give it a try and we will post the official solution in another innovative way soon. _________________ Originally posted by EgmatQuantExpert on 27 Dec 2016, 00:45.

Since the price at the end of 2013 was 10% higher, the price at the end of 2013 is 1.1 x 100 = 110. We know the price decreased by 12% and became 110; therefore, before decreasing by 12%, the price was 110/0.88 = 125. Now, the price of 100 increases by p percent and becomes 125; therefore the value of p is [(125 - 100)/100] x 100 = 25. _________________ # Scott Woodbury-Stewart Founder and CEO [email protected] 122 Reviews 5-star rated online GMAT quant self study course See why Target Test Prep is the top rated GMAT quant course on GMAT Club.

Perl Weekly Challenge 108: Bell Numbers by Abigail Challenge Example • $$B_0$$: 1 as you can only have one partition of zero element set. • $$B_1$$: 1 as you can only have one partition of one element set $$\{a\}$$. • $$B_2$$: 2 • $$\{a\}\{b\}$$ • $$\{a,b\}$$ • $$B_3$$: 5 • $$\{a\}\{b\}\{c\}$$ • $$\{a,b\}\{c\}$$ • $$\{a\}\{b,c\}$$ • $$\{a,c\}\{b\}$$ • $$\{a,b,c\}$$ • $$B_4$$: 15 • $$\{a\}\{b\}\{c\}\{d\}$$ • $$\{a,b,c,d\}$$ • $$\{a,b\}\{c,d\}$$ • $$\{a,c\}\{b,d\}$$ • $$\{a,d\}\{b,c\}$$ • $$\{a,b\}\{c\}\{d\}$$ • $$\{a,c\}\{b\}\{d\}$$ • $$\{a,d\}\{b\}\{c\}$$ • $$\{b,c\}\{a\}\{d\}$$ • $$\{b,d\}\{a\}\{c\}$$ • $$\{c,d\}\{a\}\{b\}$$ • $$\{a\}\{b,c,d\}$$ • $$\{b\}\{a,c,d\}$$ • $$\{c\}\{a,b,d\}$$ • $$\{d\}\{a,b,c\}$$ Discussion The Bell Numbers have their own entry in the OEIS. We can look up the first ten Bell Numbers: $$1$$, $$1$$, $$2$$, $$5$$, $$15$$, $$52$$, $$203$$, $$877$$, $$4140$$, and $$21147$$. Hello, World! The simplest way would be just to take those ten numbers, and print them. This means we have yet again a challenge which is just a glorified Hello, World program. Fetch If we don't want to do exactly what the challenge asks from us (print the first ten Bell Numbers), we could instead fetch the numbers from the OEIS and print them. For instance, by using the OEIS module which we recently uploaded to CPAN. There is limited usefulness in this though — it's not that the Bell Numbers will change in the future. Calculate Alternatively, we could calculate the first ten Bell Numbers. There are many ways to calculate the numbers, but we opt to create a Bell Triangle. The first rows of the Bell Triangle are as follows: 1 1 2 2 3 5 5 7 10 15 15 20 27 37 52 And we have the following rules to construct the triangle: • The top row contains a single $$1$$. • For each other row: • The row will have one more element than the previous row. • The first (left most) element is equal to the last (right most) element of the previous row. • Each other element is the sum of the element to its left on the same row, and the element on the previous row right above that. Or, formalized: Let $$b_{r, c}$$ be the element on row $$r$$ and column $$c$$. (This implies $$0 \leq c \leq r$$, with the top most element being $$b_{0, 0}$$.) Then $b_{r, c} = \begin{cases} 1, & \text{if } r = c = 0 \\ b_{r - 1, r - 1}, & \text{if } r > 0, c = 0 \\ b_{r, c - 1} + b_{r - 1, c - 1}, & \text{if } r \geq c > 0 \end{cases}$ If we then generate the first nine rows of the Bell Triangle, and take the last elements of each row, we get the second to tenth Bell Numbers. The first Bell Number is $$1$$. Solutions Depending on the language, we solve the challenge in one or more of the strategies explained above. All languages will implement the Hello, World! strategy. For some languages, we also calculate the Bell Triangle. And in Perl, we also implement a fetch strategy. Languages which solve the problem in more than one way take a command line argument indicating the strategy to follow. This argument should be one of plain (the default), fetch (which fetches the numbers from the OEIS, or compute, which computes the first rows of the Bell Triangle. We will only show the the plain solution for Perl; for the other implementations, see the GitHub links below. Perl plain Can't be much simpler than this. say "1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 52, 203, 877, 4140, 21147" fetch We're using the new module OEIS which export a single method, oeis, which takes two arguments: the sequence to fetch, and the number of elements to return. use OEIS; } $, = ", "; say 1, map {$$_ [-1]} @bell; Find the full program on GitHub. AWK The algorithm above is simply written down in AWK: BEGIN { COUNT = 10 bell [1, 1] = 1 for (x = 2; x < COUNT; x ++) { bell [x, 1] = bell [x - 1, x - 1] for (y = 2; y <= x; y ++) { bell [x, y] = bell [x, y - 1] + bell [x - 1, y - 1] } } printf "1" for (x = 1; x < COUNT; x ++) { printf ", %d", bell [x, x] } printf "\n" } Find the full program on GitHub. Bash Bash doesn't have two dimensional arrays. So, we're using a function index which takes two arguments (an x and a y coordinate) and returns a single index. The return value is written in the global variable idx. We then get: set -f COUNT=10 function index () { local x=$1 local y=$2 idx=$((COUNT * x + y)) } bell[0]=1 for ((x = 1; x < COUNT - 1; x ++)) do index $x 0; i1=$idx index $((x - 1))$((x - 1)); i2=$idx bell[$i1]=${bell[$i2]} for ((y = 1; y <= x; y ++)) do index $x$y; i1=$idx index$x $((y - 1)); i2=$idx index $((x - 1))$((y - 1)); i3=$idx bell[$i1]=$((bell[i2] + bell[i3])) done done printf "1" for ((x = 0; x < COUNT - 1; x ++)) do index$x $x; printf ", %d"${bell[\$idx]} done echo Find the full program on GitHub.

# Toronto Math Forum ## MAT244-2013S => MAT244 Math--Tests => MidTerm => Topic started by: Victor Ivrii on March 06, 2013, 09:08:26 PM Title: MT Problem 3 Post by: Victor Ivrii on March 06, 2013, 09:08:26 PM Find a particular solution of equation \begin{equation*} t^2 y''-2t y' +2y=t^3 e^t. \end{equation*} [BONUS] Explain whether the method of undetermined  coefficients to find a particular solution of this equation applies. Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Jeong Yeon Yook on March 06, 2013, 10:30:47 PM The method of undetermined coefficient applies because it only "requires us to make an initial assumption about the form of the particular solution, but with the coefficients left unspecified" (Textbook 10th Edition P.177). If t = 0, we have, 2y = 0. => y = 0 is the solution for t = 0. Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Rudolf-Harri Oberg on March 06, 2013, 10:50:34 PM This is an Euler equation, see book page 166, problem 34. We need to use substitution $x=\ln t$, this will make into a ODE with constant coefficients. We look first at the homogenous version: $$y''-3y'+2y=0$$ Solving $r^2-3r+2=0$ yields $r_1=2, r_2=1$. So, solutions to the homogeneous version are $y_1(x)=e^{2x}, y_2(x)=e^{x}$. But then solutions to the homogeneous of the original problem are $y_1(t)=t^2, y_2(t)=t$. So, $Y_{gen.hom}=c_1t^2+c_2t$. We now use method of variation of parameters, i.e let $c_1,c_2$ be functions. To use the formulas on page 189, we need to divide the whole equation by $t^2$ so that the leading coefficient would be one, so now $g=t e^t$. The formula is: $c_i'=\frac{W_i g}{W}$, where $W_i$ is the wronksian of the two solutions where the i-th column has been replaced by $(0,1)$. We now just calculate that $W(t^2,t)=-t^2, W_1=-t, W_2=t^2$. Now we need to compute $c_1, c_2$. $$c_1'=e^t \implies c_1=e^t$$ $$c_2'=-te^t \implies c_2=-e^t(t-1)$$ Plugging these expressions back to $Y_{gen.hom}$ yields the solution which is $y=te^t$ Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Branden Zipplinger on March 06, 2013, 11:20:47 PM for the bonus, the method of undetermined coefficients does not apply here, because when we assume y is of the form g(x), deriving twice and substituting into the equation yields terms with powers of t such that it is impossible to find a coefficient where the solution is of the form you assumed. this can be easily verified Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Branden Zipplinger on March 06, 2013, 11:22:05 PM (by g(x) i mean the non-homogeneous term) Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Brian Bi on March 07, 2013, 12:19:03 AM I wrote that undetermined coefficients does not apply because the ODE does not have constant coefficients. Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Victor Lam on March 07, 2013, 12:38:24 AM I basically wrote what Brian did for the bonus. But I suppose that if we transform the original differential equation using x = ln(t) into another DE with constants coefficients (say, change all the t's to x's), we would then be able to apply the coefficients method, and carry on to find the particular solution. Can someone confirm the validity of this? Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Branden Zipplinger on March 07, 2013, 02:20:51 AM nevermind. Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Victor Ivrii on March 07, 2013, 04:47:03 AM Rudolf-Harri Oberg solution is perfect. One does not need to reduce it to constant coefficients (appealing to it is another matter); characteristic equation is $r(r-1)-2r+2=0$ rendering $r_{1,2}=1,2$ and $y_1=t$, $y_2=t^2$ (Euler equation). Method of undetermined coefficients should not work;  all explanations are almost correct: for equations with constant coefficients the r.h.e. must be of the form $P(x)e^{rx}$ where $P(x)$ is a polynomial but for Euler equation which we have it must be $P(\ln (t)) t^r$ (appeal to reduction) which is not the case. However sometimes work methods which should not and J. Y. Yook has shown this. Luck sometimes smiles to foolish and ignores the smarts Quote Everybody knows that something can't be done and then somebody turns up and he doesn't know it can't be done and he does it.(A. Einstein) Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Branden Zipplinger on March 07, 2013, 04:58:04 AM has a theorem been discovered that describes what the form of a non-homogeneous equation should look like for it to be solvable by undetermined coefficients? Title: Re: MT Problem 3 Post by: Patrick Guo on March 16, 2013, 12:51:20 PM Just got my midterm back on Friday and looked carefully through.. In the official 2013Midterm answers (both versions on Forum and on CourseSite), why we, when using variation-method, have v1 = - ∫ (t^2 + 1) g(t) / Wronskian  dt   ??  what is (t^2 +1) ?! Should that not be y2 = t^2 ?! And how do we, from this step, get the next step, where (t^2 +1) changes to t with no reason ? I see the results of v1 and v2 are correct, but the steps are totally incomprehensible and WRONG. And why Wronskian = -t^2 ? should it not be t^2 ?

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2720043/null-space-and-kernel-of-matrix-representation

# Null space and kernel of matrix representation Let $P_3(\mathbb{C})$ be the complex vector space of complex polynomials of degree $2$ or less. Let $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{C}, \alpha\neq\beta$. Consider the function $L:P_3(\mathbb{C}) \mapsto \mathbb{C}^2$ given by $$L(p)=\begin{bmatrix} p(\alpha) \\ p(\beta)\\ \end{bmatrix}, \text{ for } p\in P_3(\mathbb{C})$$ For the basis $v=(1,X,X^2)$ for $P_3(\mathbb{C})$ and the standard basis $E = (e_1,e_2)$ for $\mathbb{C}^2$. Find the matrix representation $_E[L]_v$ and determine the null space $N(_E[L]_v)$ and find a basis for the ker(L). I have found the matrix representation: $$_E[L]_v = [L(v)]_E = [L(1)]_E\ [L(X)]_E\ [L(X^2)]_E = \begin{bmatrix} 1\quad \alpha \quad \alpha^2 \\ 1\quad \beta \quad \beta^2 \end{bmatrix}$$ By using ERO we can reduce the matrix to: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 \quad 0 \quad - \alpha\beta \\ 0 \quad 1 \quad \alpha + \beta \\ \end{bmatrix},$ I am uncertain how to find the null space $N(_E[L]_v)$ and a basis for the kernel. • You’re almost there. See this answer for how to read a basis for the kernel from the reduced matrix. – amd Apr 3 '18 at 20:01 • So it is possible to write the RREF matrix: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 \quad 0 \quad - \alpha\beta \\ 0 \quad 1 \quad \alpha + \beta \\ \end{bmatrix},$ as the following: $x_1 = \alpha\beta$, $x_2 = -\alpha-\beta$, $x_3 = x_3$ as $x_3$ is a free variable we can put in 1, so $x_3=1$ This way we have that $L_v= (\alpha\beta, -\alpha-\beta, 1)^T$ Which means that the basis for the kernel is equal to $\begin{bmatrix} \alpha\beta \\ -\alpha-\beta \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$? – Simbörg Apr 3 '18 at 21:15 • Your reasoning is a bit off. The RREF represents the equations $x_1-\alpha\beta x_3=0$ and $x_2+(\alpha+\beta)x_3=0$, so every solution of the system is of the form $(\alpha\beta x_3, -(\alpha+\beta)x_3, x_3)^T$, i.e., a multiple of $(\alpha\beta, -\alpha-\beta,1)^T$. – amd Apr 3 '18 at 21:45 You're doing good and the matrix is exactly what you found. The reduced row echelon form is $$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -\alpha\beta \\ 0 & 1 & \alpha+\beta \end{bmatrix}$$ as you found. Now you can determine a basis for the null space of the matrix as generated by $$\begin{bmatrix} \alpha\beta \\ -(\alpha+\beta) \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ and this is the coordinate vector of a polynomial generating the kernel, which is thus $$q(X)=\alpha\beta-(\alpha+\beta)X+X^2$$ As a check: this polynomial $q$ has $\alpha$ and $\beta$ as roots and so $L(q)=0$. The kernel has dimension $1$ by the rank nullity theorem. • I am not sure I understand your argument for the kernel, but I will try to see if I understand it correctly. So: we know that since the coordinate vector $\begin{bmatrix} \alpha\beta \\ -\alpha-\beta \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \in N(_E[L]_v)$ we know this implies that $(\alpha\beta, -\alpha-\beta, 1)^T \in ker(L)$ and then you define a polynomial for that generates the kernel, which means $ker(L) = (\alpha\beta, -(\alpha+\beta)X, X^2)^T$ and if $X = 0$ then we have that the kernel consists of $(\alpha\beta)$? – Simbörg Apr 4 '18 at 9:27 It is probably better to do that via polynomials. Suppose $p \in P_3(\mathbb{C})$ is such that $p(\alpha) = 0 = p(\beta)$. Then $p$ is divisible by both $x - \alpha$ and $x - \beta$. Since $\alpha \ne \beta$, the two linear polynomials are coprime, so $p$ is divisible by $(x-\alpha)(x-\beta) = x^{2} - (\alpha+\beta) x + \alpha \beta$, and thus $p$ is a scalar multiple of it, as $p$ has degree at most $2$. So the kernel is one-dimensional, generated by the transpose of $(\alpha \beta, -\alpha - \beta, 1)$. This indicates that there is a little sign error (it happens to everyone) in your reduction. • Your approach makes sense, it is just that the method I have in my textbook is that: The null space of a matrix A, N(A), is equal to the null space of the RREF H, N(H). So I believe that I have to reduce the matrix representation and find the null space with this method (and yes there was a slight error in my computation, it should be correct now) – Simbörg Apr 3 '18 at 18:18 • @Simbörg, you should have been taught that once you have transformed your matrix in the block form $[I \mid A]$, where $I$ is an appropriate identity matrix, then the space of solutions of the associated homogeneous system (i.e. the null space) has as a basis the columns of the block matrix $\left[\begin{smallmatrix}-A\\J\end{smallmatrix}\right]$, where $J$ is an appropriate square matrix. So in your case the null space has a basis given by $\left[\begin{smallmatrix}\alpha \beta\\-\alpha-\beta\\1\end{smallmatrix}\right]$. – Andreas Caranti Apr 4 '18 at 8:28

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/antiderivative-of-1-x.841263/

# Antiderivative of 1/x 1. Nov 4, 2015 ### Cosmophile We are going over antiderivatives in my calculus course and reached a question regarding $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$. My instructor went on to say that $\int \frac {1}{x}dx = \ln |x| + C$. This makes sense to me, but only to a certain point. For $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$, $f$ is defined $\forall x \neq 0$. So we should have two interavls which we are looking at: $x < 0$ and $x > 0$. Because of this, we would then have: $$\int \frac {1}{x}dx = \ln |x| + C_1 \qquad x > 0$$ $$\text {and}$$ $$\int \frac {1}{x}dx = \ln (-x) + C_2 = \ln |x| + C_2 \qquad x < 0$$ The second integral comes into being because $-x > 0$ when $x<0$. I brought this up to my teacher and he said that it made no sense and served no purpose to look at it this way. The argument I brought up was that the constants of integration could be different for the two intervals. I was hoping some of you may be able to help me explain why this is the case, or, if I am wrong, explain to me why I am. Thanks! 2. Nov 4, 2015 ### pwsnafu You are correct. The "constant of integration" is constant over connected components of the domain. See also Wikipedia's article on antiderivative. 3. Nov 4, 2015 ### fzero It's an interesting idea, but the problem is that $$\frac{d}{dx} \ln (-x) = - \frac{1}{x},$$ instead of $1/x$, so this isn't an antiderivative. 4. Nov 4, 2015 ### pwsnafu No $\frac{d}{dx} \ln(-x) = \frac{1}{x}$ 5. Nov 4, 2015 ### Cosmophile If we are considering $x < 0$, $-x > 0$ so $$\frac {d}{dx} \ln (-x) = \frac {1}{x}$$ Also, by the chain rule where $u = -x$, $\frac {du}{dx} = -1$, and $$\frac {d}{dx} \ln(-x) = \frac {1}{-x}(-1) = \frac {1}{x}$$ 6. Nov 4, 2015 ### micromass You are completely correct. There are two different constants of integration. Your teacher must not be very good if he doesn't know this. 7. Nov 4, 2015 ### pwsnafu Seconded. This worries me. Mathematics is not concerned with with whether something "serves a purpose". There is plenty of mathematical research that serves no purpose other than itself. 8. Nov 4, 2015 ### Cosmophile I appreciate the replies thus far. I suppose I'm having a hard time developing an argument for my case to propose to him. 9. Nov 4, 2015 ### PeroK Essentially, you are correct. You can demonstrate this by taking: $f(x) = ln|x| + 1 \ (x < 0)$ and $f(x) = ln|x| + 2 \ (x > 0)$ and checking that $f'(x) = \frac{1}{x} \ (x \ne 0)$ Usually, however, you are only dealing with one half of the function : $x < 0$ or $x > 0$. This is because an integral is defined for a function defined on an interval. For the function $\frac{1}{x}$, you can't integrate it from on, say, $[-1, 1]$ because it's not defined at $x = 0$. So, strictly speaking, what the integration tables are saying is: a) For the function $\frac{1}{x}$ defined on the interval $(0, +\infty)$, the antiderivative is $ln|x| + C$ b) For the function $\frac{1}{x}$ defined on the interval $(-\infty, 0)$, the antiderivative is $ln|x| + C$ In that sense, you don't need different constants of integration. 10. Nov 4, 2015 ### micromass I see no reason not to define the undefined integral on more general sets. 11. Nov 4, 2015 ### Cosmophile Why did you arbitrarily chose $C_1 = 1$ and $C_2 = 2$ in the first part of your response? I understand that the antiderivative is defined only on intervals where the base function is defined, which means our integral is only defined on $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$. However, when I think of a constant added to a function, I simply think of a vertical shift. I understand that $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$ has to have two independent antiderivatives as a consequence of the discontinuity, but I cannot see why it is necessary that the constants have to be different. Of course, a difference in constants is the only way that the two sides can be different, because we've already shown that, ignoring the added constant, the two sides have identical antiderivatives. Am I making any sense? Sorry, and thanks again. 12. Nov 4, 2015 ### PeroK Why not? A couple of technical points: 1)"The" antiderivative is actually an equivalence class of functions. "An" antiderivative is one of the functions from that class. For example: $sin(x) + C$ (where $C$ is an arbitrary constant) is the antiderivative of $cos(x)$; and $sin(x) + 6$ is an antiderivative (one particular function from the antiderivative class). 2) There is no such thing as "the" function $1/x$, as a function depends on its domain. $1/x$ defined on $(0, \infty)$, $1/x$ defined on $(-\infty, 0)$ and $1/x$ defined on $(0, \infty) \cup (-\infty, 0)$ are three different functions. The antiderivative of $1/x$ defined on $(0, \infty) \cup (-\infty, 0)$ is $ln|x| + C_1 \ (x < 0)$; $ln|x| + C_2 \ (x > 0)$. Where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are arbitrary constants. This is the full class of functions which, when differentiated, give $1/x$. The two separate functions $1/x$ defined on $(0, \infty)$, and $(-\infty, 0)$ both have the antiderivate $ln|x| + C$, where $C$ is an arbitrary constant, defined on the appropriate interval. There is, therefore, a subtle difference. 13. Nov 4, 2015 ### HallsofIvy Look at f(x)= ln(|x|)+ 9 for x> 0 and ln(|x|)+ 4 for x< 0. That function is differentiable for all non-zero x and its derivative is 1/x. 14. Nov 4, 2015 ### Cosmophile Your second point was very well said, and is certainly something I'll carry with me. So unless a particular domain is specified, such as $(0, \infty)$, I have to include the $\ln|x| +C_1 \quad (x < 0); \quad \ln |x| + C_2 \quad (x > 0)$. I suppose my issue is coming from the fact that, when I see $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$, I imagine the standard hyperbola $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$ defined on $(- \infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$. Now, when I imagine the function $f(x) = \ln x$, I think automatically of this graph: http://www.wolframalpha.com/share/img?i=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427eq1tuvuvmvh&f=HBQTQYZYGY4TMNJQMQ2WEZTBGUYDCNJQMQ3DAODGGAZTAMBQGI4Qaaaa But I've also seen this graph: Which should I be thinking of for this problem? Last edited: Nov 5, 2015 15. Nov 4, 2015 ### Staff: Mentor The second graph looks like it is probably f(x) = ln|x|. 16. Nov 5, 2015 ### Cosmophile You're right. I wonder why Wolfram interprets it that way, but only uses the right-hand side of the graph when I set it to show real values. 17. Nov 5, 2015 ### Staff: Mentor What was the equation you graphed? If you entered the integral in post #1 of this thread, the antiderivative is ln|x| (plus the constant). 18. Nov 5, 2015 ### Cosmophile I graphed $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$ and got the funky results. Graphing ln|x| gave me what I needed. But if I'm given $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$, with no specification of the domain, I end up with $F(x) = \ln |x| + C_1, \quad (x < 0); \ln|x| + C_2, \quad (x > 0).$ What's weird is that when I look at the graph of ln|x|, the two halfs seem connected (obviously, they aren't - there's a discontinuity at $x=0$), so it's hard for me to imagine why the two sides need different constants of integration. That would mean the two bits move around independently, and I can't at all think of an example of that if $f(x) = \frac {1}{x}$ with nothing else added. I hope that makes some sense. I'd love to get some graphical insights - I think that would help me out a bit. Sorry for asking so much on what seems to be a fairly simple topic! (Also, thanks for chiming in, Mark44. I can always count on you and Micromass to respond). 19. Nov 5, 2015 ### PeroK I suggest that you are getting yourself a bit confused over this. And, I guess this is why your maths instructor is saying it's not useful. There is nothing special about $1/x$. Any function $1/x^n$ has the same issue. Wolfram Alpha, for example, doesn't get into this subtlety of having different constants of integration. The same with tan(x) - you could have a different constant of integration on each interval upon which it's defined. The key point is this. Suppose I have a differential equation: $f'(x) = x^2$ and $f(1) = 0$ $(-\infty < x < \infty)$ This specifies a unique function: $f(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x^3 - 1)$ But, if we have: $f'(x) = 1/x$ and $f(1) = 0$ $(x \ne 0)$ This does not specify a unique function. We also need a value for some $x < 0$. For example: $f'(x) = 1/x$, $f(1) = 0$ $f(-1) = 1$ $(x \ne 0)$ The differential equation, therefore, splits into two: For $x > 0$ we have $f(x) = ln|x| + C$, $f(1) = C = 0$, hence $f(x) = ln|x| (x > 0)$ For $x < 0$ we have $f(x) = ln|x| + C$, $f(-1) = C = 1$, hence $f(x) = ln|x| + 1 (x < 0)$ Now, of course, you could use $C_1$ and $C_2$ instead of reusing the symbol $C$ as I have done. But, it hardly matters. The important point is that the integration and differentiation for a function like $1/x$ must be done separately on each contiguous interval on which it's defined. One final point. You can have the same situation with any function. Suppose we have: $f'(x) = x \ (-2 < x < -1$ and $1 < x < 2)$ Then we are specifying a differential equation across two discontiguous intervals, hence we need two initial values, as there is a different constant of integration on each interval. 20. Nov 5, 2015 ### micromass About the wolfram issue. Wolfram alpha is a very good software but not infallible. In particular, here it is (strictly speaking) wrong. When asked how to integrate $1/x$, wofram alpha somehow involves complex numbers. Furthermore, it will only show one particular primitive. So when you ask for the primitive of $1/x$, wolfram accurately calculates the following primitive: $f(x) = \text{ln}(x)$ for $x>0$ and $f(x) = \text{ln}(x) + \pi i$ for $x<0$. (The explanation for why $\pi i$ is involved requires complex analysis). Anyway, this is a correct primitive as you can differentiate it to get $1/x$. Wolfram alpha is wrong however to say that any other primitive is of the form $f(x) + C$. Rather, it is of the form $f(x) + C_1$ for $x>0$ and $f(x) + C_2$ for $x<0$. In particular, we can choose $C_1 = 0$ and $C_2 = -\pi i$, to get $\text{ln}|x|$. So if you want only the real values, then wolframalpha works with the same primitive $f$ that has already been computed. But this primitive is complex for $x<0$ and thus wolfram ignores it. So that is why it only shows $f(x)$ for $x>0$. There is a primitive that takes only real values (namely $\text{ln}|x|$), but wolfram does not compute it and erroneously states that the real primitive only exists for $x>0$.

# Thread: Bearings question with trig. 1. ## Bearings question with trig. Hey Im really not sure how to do bearings at all. For homework i have this question: A ship leaves at port A and travels for 30km on bearing of 120degrees It then changes course and travels for 50km on bearing of 080degrees arriving at port B. Calculate distance AB and bearing A from B thanks 2. Originally Posted by mitchoboy ... A ship leaves at port A and travels for 30km on bearing of 120degrees It then changes course and travels for 50km on bearing of 080degrees arriving at port B. Calculate distance AB and bearing A from B ... Typically bearings are given from a reference [North or South] and deflecting East or West. From the information given, assume the reference for zero bearing is due North or the y-axis; and assume that port A is at the origin (0,0). $X_0 = 0$ $Y_0 = 0$ $X_1 = X_0 + \sin \left(120\right) \times\ 30 = 0.866 \times 30 = 25.981$ $Y_1 = Y_0 + \cos \left(120\right) \times\ 30 = 0.500 \times 30 = 15.000$ $X_2 = X_1 + \sin\left( 80\right) \times\ 50 = X_1 + 0.985 \times 50 = X_1 + 49.240 = 75.221$ $Y_2 = Y_1 + \cos \left(80\right) \times\ 50 = Y_1 + 0.174 \times 50 = Y_1 + 8.682 = 23.682$ Since $X_0 = 0$ & $Y_0 = 0$ The distance AB is $\sqrt{X_2^2 + Y_2^2}$ The bearing is the arctangent of the difference between final coordinates and the initial coordinates: The tangent of the bearing AB is : $\frac{X_2 - X_0} {Y_2 - Y_0}$ As a check: $X_2 = \sin \left ({bearing AB}\right) \times \left ({distance AB}\right)$ $Y_2 = \cos \left ({bearing AB}\right) \times \left({distance AB}\right)$ 3. Just for kicks, let's do it this way. Let's use a coordinate system so you can see what is going on. Like in surveying. Let's say the coordinate of A is (0,0). Then, to the turning point, it is 30 km at an azimuth of 120 degrees. (Technically, this is an azimuth, not a bearing. But, it doesn't really matter). $x=30sin(120)=25.98$ $y=30cos(120)=-15$ Those are the coordinates of the turning point, (25.98,-15) Next, the boat turns 80 degrees from north and goes 50 km to go to B. B's coordinates are $x=25.98+50sin(80)=75.22$ $y=-15+50cos(80)=-6.32$ The coordinates of B are (75.22, -6.32). Now, to find the distance back to A where it started, just use ol' Pythagoras. $\sqrt{(75.22)^{2}+(-6.32)^{2}}=75.485$ To find the bearing back to A, one way of many: $270+cos^{-1}(\frac{75.22}{75.485})=274.8 \;\ deg$ Here is a diagram so you can see. It is rather sloppy done in paint, but I hope it will suffice. 4. Hello, mitchoboy! Bearings are measured clockwise from North. And a good diagram is essential. A ship leaves at port $A$ and travels for 30 km on bearing of 120°. It then changes course and travels for 50 km on bearing of 080° arriving at port $B.$ Calculate distance $AB$ and bearing of ${\color{blue}A}$ from ${\color{blue}B}.$ . Is this correct?
