    Ha ha! The title board problem was substantially more complex (and fun) than what this turned out to be. I got 355 / 3^11 for the case that every vector in { (1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (3,1), (3,2) } is equally likely.

    This seems harder than it is. The difference of coordinates for (1,1)=0 for (3,2)=1 Ans for result (10,8)=2 so if there is a way the vectors need to be 4x (1,1) and 2x (3,2) they indeed add to (10,8) so solutions exist. Number of solutions is the number of choosing the positions of the big vectors in a list from 1 to 6 =6*5/(1*2)=15 cases Total possible vectors to generate =2^6=64 P=15/64 (desirable/total cases)

    Interestingly, also option C) is a valid consequence, if one has the additional assumption that g has a finite limit, ie. lim g(x) = C, since then lim exp(f(x) - g(x)) = lim exp(g(x) * (f(x)/g(x) - 1)) = exp(lim g(x) * lim (f(x)/g(x) - 1)) = exp(C * 0) = 1.

    I noted that in each answer we have a form (a - b) = (a² - b²) / (a + b) = 1 / (a + b). But the values of (a+b) are easily seen to be largest for (A), as the individual values of both a and b are largest for (A); so the value of (a - b) is smallest for (A). Hence answer (A).

I can notice the planes are not parallel as coefficients of X,y,z are not proportional with constants giving null solutions. A excluded B excluded as planes do not intersect in a point C P(0,0,7) does not verify second plane equation as -21|=0 D P(0,3,1) 0+3*3-2*1=7 verified 2*0+3-3*1=0 verified

    I followed the same logic until a^3-3a^2+3=0 Let g(a)=a^3-3a^2+3 then g'(a)=3a^2-6a=0 a=0 or a=2 are points of extrema because the quadratic g'(a) changes sign in those points g(0)=3 g(2)=-1 So g(a) has 3 roots as it grows from -inf to 3 then decreases to -1 and goes up to +inf

A=d2f/(dx)^2=2 B=d2f/(dxdy)=-2 C=d2f/(dy)^2=6y We need to calculate the discriminant B^2-AC I) x=y=0 then B°2-AC=4>0 not a point of extrema II) x=y=2/3 B^2-AC=4-(2)(6*2/3)=-4 If A<0 then it is maximum but in our case A>0 sonwe got our local minimum point.

    I found some books about multivariable surface calculus but my memory of doing the subject is not great I know you usually want df/dx=0 and df/dy=0 plus some additional conditions to know if it is Mon/max or saddle point In this case df/dx=0 2x-2y=0 so X=y And df/Dy=0 -2x+3y^2=0 So A is true in a sense it is necessary but not sufficient condition B is false C not sure as (df/dx^2)^2=2 and (df/dy^2)^2=3y =0 at (0,0) D obviously false E f(X,y)=(x-y)^2-y^2+y^3=(x-y)^2+y^2(y-1) (x-y)^2 has a valley at X=y and y^2(y-1) is negative when y<1 and positive otherwise so it is only increasing as y grows so this should be false

      I was just thinking that f(X,y) = g(X,y)+h(y) where h(y)=y^3-y^2 then h'(y)=0 means 3y^2-2y=0 or y=0 y=2/3 where y=0 is a max for cubic and y=2/3 is a minimum In this context (2/3,2/3) makes sense to be minimum for the whole function I think A is false because X=y also contains the absolute extrema. This problem was written in such a way you have to mond the grammar

    Well done, nice solution. Thought it was a lovely question, I could not do it. Solution was to note for instance 10 - 3√11 = √100 - √99, 8 - 3√7=√64 - √63. Each other option follows the same pattern, all are the difference of square roots which are one apart. Could write each as √x -√x-1.The bigger the numbers get, the smaller will be the difference. You could rationalize which leads to 1/ √x + √x-1, to convince yourself this is correct. Or graph it. Hence the answer is A.

Line equation is obviously y-e^t=e^t(x-t) when t is the point of tangency finding a: y=0 t=p -e^p=e^p(a-p) a-p=-1 and for b and Q it would result b-q=-1 Intuition too stronk :)

Diff(y)=4-1=3 Diff(x)=5-1=4 Distance=√(3^2+4^2)=5 Sum of radiuses=2+1=3 so indeed circles do not intersect So the closest point to second circle is if we scale the vector from centre to centre down from 5 units to 5-2(radius of distant circle)=3 units P(x,y)=(1,1)+3/5*(4,3)=(3.4,2.8)

Similarly, if 2^(n+2) + 3^(n+2)*5^n = 13*k(n), then the next term 2^(n+3) + 3^(n+3)*5^(n+1) = 2*2^(n+2) + 15*3^(n+2)*5^n = 2*2^(n+2) + 13*3^(n+2)*5^n + 2*3^(n+2)*5^n = 2*(2^(n+2) + 3^(n+2)5^n) + 13*3^(n+2)*5^n = 2*13*k(n) + 13*3^(n+2)*5^n = 13*(2*k(n) + 3^(n+2)*5^n).

      Thinking about the expressions mod 13 worked for me. The terms individually are not 0 (mod 13), but both the numerator and denominator factorize neatly. The two terms in the numerator are 5^(2n+1) = 5 * 25^n = 5 * 12^n (mod 13) and 2^(2n+3) * 3^n = 8 * 4^n * 3^n = 8 * 12^n (mod 13). So the numerator as a whole factorizes as (5 + 8) * 12^n = 0 (mod 13). It’s similar with the denominator, which is (4 + 9) * 2^n = 0 (mod 13).

    If we do a variable change y^2=x then 2ydy=dx and integral becomes Integral (0->sqrt(a)) of 2y(y+y^4)dy= 2/3 a^(3/2)+1/3 a^(6/2)=1/3(2a*sqrt(a)+a^3)=5 (looks like my substitution was useless and I didn't get anything simpler than doing it directly with square root being power 1/2) if a=b^2 then 2b^3+b^6=15 b^6+2b^3-15=0 -> (b^3+7)(b^3-5)=0 so b^3=5 or -7 and then a is 5^(2/3) or 7^(2/3) I wonder where did the extraneous root came from maybe if i just work with a 2a*sqrt(a)=15-a^3 squaring 4a^3=(15-a^3)^2 4a^3=225-30a^3+a^6 so a^6-34a^3+225=0 25+9=34 so (a^3-25)(a^3-9)=0 so we also get 5^(2/3) and 3^(2/3) solutions I will check video cause I find it hard to verify which solution is correct easily 1/3( 2*3^2/3*3^1/3+3^2)=1/3*(15)=5 i guess it's not that hard just me being lazy if iw as doing question I would not even bother verifying for extraneous roots with multiple choices as I would have picked 5^(2/3) Edit: Do not mind my algebra at first tryout . You saw nothing

    Isn't the first function a de with y''-2y'+3y=0 which has the associated equation r^2-2r+3=0 R1,2=(2+-√4-12)/2=1+-√2i the solutions for the d.e are y=C1*e^(x*r1)+C2e^(x*r2) Obviously if C1|=C2 then we get a function over R with values in C Second equation has solution g(X)=C1*e^(0x)+c2*e^(3x) General solution but only g(x)=C*e^(3x) will work And is a continuous function Last one looks hard to figure out but we already have a valid solution to question:) as D) Edit: Now of further thinking h0(X)=C1e^(-x)+C2*e^(X) Will satisfy h''=h but if we have h(X)=h0(X)-1 it will satisfy original eq

      Your general solution for g(x) is correct for any real values of C1 and C2. A constant function is a perfectly valid solution to that equation.

    It gets a bit easier if you keep working with prime factors as much as possible after (correctly!) calculating them. That saves a lot of large multiplications. √(2⁵·3²·7) + √(2³·7) = 14^k Square both sides 2⁵·3²·7 + 2³·7 + 2·2⁴·3·7 = 14^2k 2³·7·(2²·3² + 1 + 2²·3) = 2³·7·49 = 2³·7³ = 14^2k 2k = 3 k = ³⁄₂

    Alternatively; 1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+... can be rewriten as 1+x+x^2+x^3+... x+x^2+x^3+... x^2+x^3+... x^3+... taking the sums of each line for |x|<1 gives while factoring out x^n to get geometric series gives 1/(1-x) x/(1-x) x^2/(1-x) . . . factoring out [1/(1-x)] gives yet another geometric series [1/(1-x)]*[1/(1-x)]=1/(1-x)^2

    Another video where I'm screaming at the computer as you make an arithmetic mistake! My approach was to factor the numbers, and I quickly realized it was 12 sqrt(14) + 2 sqrt(14), which is 14 sqrt(14), which is 14^(3/2).

    Thanks for doing question, I did not get the answer. Felt for you with error whilst doing prime factors of 2016. The solution took prime factors of both numbers 2016= 2^5 x 3^2 x 7, write as 2^4 x 3^2 x 14. 56= 2^3 x 7, write as 2^2 x 14. Take out even terms from under radical, leads to 14√14. Hence answer 3/2. NIce question even thou I could not do it.

    This is pretty easy problem just let f(x)=e^(bx) and g(x)=10x Iy is obvious b>0 otherwise we get an intersection. We are looking for a point c for which f(c)=g(c) and f'(c)=g'(c) I was wondering if there was a way to use T Fermat for a function h=f-g but if we do not know the minimum it doesn't seem likely to work. So with the standard workout we go 10c=e^(bc) 10=b*e^(bc) => e^(bc)=10/b => 10c=10/b so c=1/b 10c=e^1 c=e/10 so b=10/e This is strange. I make a substitution error and got b=ln10 which seems like it will work as 10x is tangent to 10^x at x=1

      Actually, if you draw the graphs of 10x and 10^x, you'll see that they are *not* tangent at x = 1. They just intersect each other, with different gradients.

    Hi, thanks for doing the question. Sorry wording caused you some confusion, I copied it verbatim from the textbook it was in. The suggested solution was using a similar technique for finding the sum to n terms of a GP. Multiply through by x, subtract the two equation leading to the sum to n terms you got. And obviously as n → infinity leads to the answer required. So did not use calculus as you did, nice to see another method.

    The way I thought of it: Every number in P(n) has a unique prime factorization: p × (prime factorization of n). So P(n) ∩ P(m) is empty, unless the prime factorization of n and m differ by exactly one prime each. 12 = 2×2×3 and 20 = 2×2×5 is the only one of the answers that work.

    I see this as stating that Pn is formed of all numbers of the form n*p where p is a prime. From this observation intersection of Pn and Pm is the set of given by existing primes p,q such that p*n=q*m which means that either p/q=m/n. If p and q are to be primes it follows that m/n=1 and p=q or that m and n are prime themselves or have a gcd that will reduce them to primes So solution will be 1/23 not good. 7/21=1/3 not good 12/20=3/5 will work. 20/24=5/6 not good 5/25=1/5 not good because 1 and 6 are not primes
