STEP III: An integral from Cambridge University
Переглядів 5982 години тому
This integral comes from Cambridge University's mathematics entrance exam, STEP. In this video I break down the solution and also explain the motivation behind each of the steps in the working. 12/13 of my students this year ended up getting an offer from Oxford or Cambridge.

    Another way to sort of skip to the answer here, You can realize the integral is equivalent to: The probability that, given a balls of color A, b balls of color B and 1 ball of color C, the balls are arranged in the order (all A) (c) (all b). Assuming the balls are indistinguishable, there is only one arrangement that satisfies this. But there are (a + b choose b) * (a + b + 1) possible arrangements of the balls. Thus the integral is 1/((a + b + 1)( a + b choose b)). For further clarification, the integral is treating the balls as points in the interval [0,1] and conditioning the locaiton of the C ball at t (with prob dt) and the probability that that all a of the A balls are less than t is t^a and all B balls are greater than t is (1 - t)^b, hence the equivalence. Thanks for the problem!

    Hi jpi, this is unrelated (and a slightly strange question) but will the MAT format change ( it being online) make a difference to the type of questions they give in the long form questions at the end. Im just wondering because, your expected to type your answers, so does this completely rule out stuff like integration and geometry ( things you cant type) ? Looking at this years paper there problems were algebra/logic questions. So yeah , do you think theyll get rid questions about integration and geometry etc (in the long form section) for the sake of not being able to type solutions out?

    • @JPiMaths
      @JPiMaths 2 дні тому

      @@Nishaan478 I don't think they'd rule them out. They could very well expect you to compute integrals on scrap paper and then just explain that's what you did to calculate an area or something. Although that being said, I think it's trickier to mark, but to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the change of format

    nice proof for part (a), I proved it by using the result that a bounded monotonic series must be convergent, since the sum of a_n's converges, it is bounded by some number A, say, and since all the a_n's are positive, the sum of a_n's squared should be bounded above by A squared for example. The a_n squared are all positive so the sequence of partial sums is monotonically increasing and bounded above so it must converge.

    For D: I'd multiply the top and bottom by (√2 +1)³ instead. Since (√2 -1)(√2 +1) = 2 - 1 = 1, we eliminate the square root at the denominator. We have (√2 +1)³/4 Since √2 > 1, (√2 +1)³/4 > 2³/4 = 2, the next step is the same as you.

    The integral starts at 0, and floor(0) is 0, so you have to add an extra 1. Another way of thinking about its final value is that it would just be 99 1s in binary, which is 2^100 - 1.

    • @qqqalo
