# Class 11 RD Sharma Solutions- Chapter 23 The Straight Lines- Exercise 23.11
### Question 1: Prove that the following sets of three lines are concurrent:
(i) 15x – 18y + 1 = 0, 12x + 10y – 3 = 0 and 6x + 66y – 11 = 0
(ii) 3x – 5y – 11 = 0, 5x + 3y – 7 = 0 and x + 2y = 0
Solution:
(i) 15x – 18y + 1 = 0, 12x + 10y – 3 = 0 and 6x + 66y – 11 = 0
Given:
15x – 18y + 1 = 0 …… (i)
12x + 10y – 3 = 0 …… (ii)
6x + 66y – 11 = 0 …… (iii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,
From equation (i) we get,
x = (18y – 1)/15
Now substituting the value of x in equation (ii)
12 [(18y – 1)/15] + 10y – 3 = 0
216y – 12 + 150y – 45 = 0
366y = 57
y = 57/366 = 19/122
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = (18y – 1)/15
x = (18(19/122) – 1)/15
x = (342 – 122) / (122 × 15)
x = (342 – 122) / 1730
x = 220/1730
x= 22/173
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iii), we get,
6(22/173) + 66(19/122) – 11 = 0
(6 × 22 ×122) + (66 × 19 × 173) – (11 × 173 × 122) = 0
320 – 2052 + 732 = 0
0 = 0
Therefore, the given lines are concurrent.
(ii) 3x – 5y – 11 = 0, 5x + 3y – 7 = 0 and x + 2y = 0
Given:
3x − 5y − 11 = 0 …… (i)
5x + 3y − 7 = 0 …… (ii)
x + 2y = 0 …… (iii)
Solving equation (ii) and (iii), we get,
From equation (iii) we get,
x = -2y
Now substituting the value of x in equation (ii)
5(-2y) + 3y – 7 = 0
-10y + 3y – 7 = 0
-7y = 7
y = -1
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = -2y
x = -2(-1)
x = 2
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (i), we get,
3(2) − 5(-1) − 11 = 0
6 + 5 – 11 = 0
11 – 11 = 0
0 = 0
Therefore, the given lines are concurrent.
### Question 2: For what value of λ are the three lines 2x – 5y + 3 = 0, 5x – 9y + λ = 0 and x – 2y + 1 = 0 concurrent?
Solution:
Given:
2x − 5y + 3 = 0 …… (i)
5x − 9y + λ = 0 …… (ii)
x − 2y + 1 = 0 …… (iii)
Solving equation (i) and (iii), we get,
From equation (i) we get,
2x = 5y – 3
x = (5y – 3)/2
Now substituting the value of x in equation (iii)
[(5y – 3)/2] – 2y + 1 = 0
5y – 3 – 4y + 2 = 0
y = 1
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = (5y – 3)/2
x = (5 – 3)/2
x = 2/2
x = 1
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (ii), we get,
5(1) – 9(1) + λ = 0
5 – 9 + λ = 0
λ = 4
Therefore, the value of λ is 4.
### Question 3: Find the conditions that the straight lines y = m1x + c1, y = m2x + c2 and y = m3x + c3 may meet in a point.
Solution:
Given:
m1x – y + c1 = 0 …… (1)
m2x – y + c2 = 0 …… (2)
m3x – y + c3 = 0 …… (3)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,
m1x – y + c1 = m2x – y + c2
m1x + c1 = m2x + c2
m1x – m2x = c2 – c1
x(m1 – m2) = c2 – c1
x = (c2 – c1)/(m1 – m2)
Now substituting the value of x in equation (i)
y = m1[(c2 – c1)/(m1 – m2)] + c1
y = m1c2 – m1c1 + m1c1 – m2c1
y = m1c2 – m2c1
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iii), we get,
m3x – y + c3 = 0
y = m3x + c3
m1c2 – m2c1= m3[(c2 – c1)/(m1 – m2)] + c3
m12c2 – m1m2c1 + m1m2c2 – m22c1 = m3c2 – m3c1 + m1c3 – m2c3
m12c2 – m1c3 – m22c1 + m2c3 – m3c2 + m3c1 = 0
m1(c2 – c3) + m2(c3 – c1) + m3(c1 – c2) = 0
Therefore, the required condition is m1(c2 – c3) + m2(c3 – c1) + m3(c1 – c2) = 0
### Question 4: If the lines p1x + q1y = 1, p2x + q2y = 1 and p3x + q3y = 1 be concurrent, show that the points (p1, q1), (p2, q2) and (p3, q3) are collinear.
Solution:
Given:
p1x + q1y = 1 …… (i)
p2x + q2y = 1 …… (ii)
p3x + q3y = 1 …… (iii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,
From equation (i) we get,
x = (1 – q1y)/p1
Now substituting the value of x in equation (ii)
p2[(1 – q1y)/p1] + q2y = 1
p2 – p2q1y + p1q2y = p1
y(p1q2 – p2q1) = p1 – p2
y = (p1 – p2)/(p1q2 – p2q1)
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = (1 – q1y)/p1
x = (1 – q1[(p1 – p2)/(p1q2 – p2q1)])/p1
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iii), we get,
p3[(p1q2 – p2q1 – q1(p1 – p2)(p1q2 – p2q1))] + q3p1(p1 – p2) = 1
(p1p3q2 – p2p3q1 – p1p3q1 + p2p3q1)(p1q1 – p2q1) + q3p1(p1 – p2) = 1
(p1p3q2 – p1p3q1)(p1q2 – p2q1) + q3p12 – q3p1p2 = 1
p12p3q22 – p1p2p3q1q2 – p12p3q1q2 + p1p2p3q12 + q3p1p2 = 1 …… (iv)
Also, if we assume points (p1, q1)(p2, q2)(p3, q3) are collinear
Therefore,
p1(q2 – q3) + p2(q3 – q1) + p3(q1 – q3) = 0
Now from equation (iv) we get,
p1[p1p3q22 – p2p3q1q2 – p1p3q1q2 + p2p3q12 + q3p2] = 1
p1[p3q2(p1q2 – p2q1) – p3q1(p1q2 – p2q1) + q3(p1 – p2)] = 1
Therefore, the given points, (p1, q1), (p2, q2) and (p3, q3) are collinear.
### Question 5: Show that the straight lines L1 = (b + c)x + ay + 1 = 0, L2 = (c + a)x + by + 1 = 0 and L3 = (a + b)x + cy + 1 = 0 are concurrent.
Solution:
Given:
L1 = (b + c)x + ay + 1 = 0 …… (i)
L2 = (c + a)x + by + 1 = 0 …… (ii)
L3 = (a + b)x + cy + 1 = 0 …… (iii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,
From equation (i) we get,
y = (-1 – (b + c)x)/a
Now substituting the value of y in equation (ii)
(c + a)x + b[(-1 – (b + c)x)/a] + 1 = 0
(c + a)x + b[(-1 – (bx + cx)/a] + 1 = 0
cx + ax + b[(-1 – (bx + cx)/a] + 1 = 0
acx + a2x – b – b2x + bcx + a = 0
x(ac + a2 – b2 + bc) = b – a
x(c(a – b) + (a – b)(a + b)) = b – a
x(a – b)(c + a + b) = -(a – b) [Dividing both side by (a – b)]
x(c + a + b) = -1
x = -1/(a + b + c)
Now substituting the value of x in y i.e.
y = (-1 – (b + c)x)/a
y = (-1 – (b + c)[-1/(a + b + c)])/a
y = (-(a + b + c) + b + c)/a(a + b + c)
y = (-a – b – c + b + c)/a(a + b + c)
y = (-a)/a(a + b + c)
y = -1/(a + b + c)
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iii), we get,
(a + b)[-1/(a + b + c)] + c[-1/(a + b + c)]+ 1 = 0
-a – b – c + a + b + c = 0
0 = 0
Therefore, the given lines are concurrent.
### Question 6: If the three lines ax + a2y + 1 = 0, bx + b2y + 1 = 0, and cx + c2y + 1= 0 are concurrent, show that at least two of three constants a, b, c are equal.
Solution:
Given:
ax + a2y + 1 = 0 …… (i)
bx + b2y + 1 = 0 …… (ii)
cx + c2y + 1= 0 …… (iii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get,
From equation (i) we get,
x = (-1 – a2y)/a
Now substituting the value of x in equation (ii)
b[(-1 – a2y)/a] + b2y + 1 = 0
-b – a2by + ab2y + a = 0
aby(b – a) = b – a [Dividing both side by (b – a)]
aby = 1
y = 1/ab
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = (-1 – a2y)/a
x = (-1 -a2(1/ab))/a
x = (-b – a)/ba
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iii), we get,
c[(-b – a)/ba] + c2(1/ab) + 1 = 0
-bc – ac + c2 + ab = 0
c(c – b) – a(c – b) = 0
(c – b)(c – a) = 0
c – b = 0
c = b
or
c – a = 0
c = a
Therefore, at least two of three constants a, b, c are equal.
### Question 7: If a, b, c are in A.P. , prove that the straight lines ax + 2y + 1 = 0, bx + 3y + 1 = 0 and cx + 4y + 1 = 0 are concurrent.
Solution:
Given if a, b, c are in A.P.
Thus, b – a = c – b
2b = a + c [Common difference] …… (i)
Also given:
ax + 2y + 1 = 0 …… (ii)
bx + 3y + 1 = 0 …… (iii)
cx + 4y + 1 = 0 …… (iv)
Solving equation (ii) and (iii), we get,
From equation (ii) we get,
x = (-1 – 2y)/a
Now substituting the value of x in equation (iii)
b[(-1 – 2y)/a] + 3y + 1 = 0
-b – 2by + 3ay + a = 0
y(3a – 2b) = b – a
y = (b – a)/(3a – 2b)
Now substituting the value of y in x i.e.
x = (-1 – 2y)/a
x = (-1 – 2[(b – a)/(3a – 2b)])/a
x = (-(3a – 2b) – 2b + 2a)/a(3a – 2b)
x = -1/(3a – 2b)
Now substituting the value of x and y in equation (iv), we get,
c[-1/(3a – 2b)] + 4[(b – a)/(3a – 2b)] + 1 = 0
-c + 4b – 4a + 3a – 2b = 0
-a + 2b – c = 0
From equation (i) we know, 2b = a + c,
Thus, -a + a + c – c = 0
0 = 0
Therefore, the given lines are concurrent.

Now, I know marijuana has its die hard fans, but if you can overdose on water, then you can surely overdose on an actual drug. Too much of anything is bad. Now, it will take a lot of marijuana for you to overdose, but a large amount doesn't mean overdosing is impossible.
• Yes. ODing on marijuana is possible and does happen.
Overdosing is simply taking "more than the normal or recommended amount of something, usually a drug." There are non-lethal overdoses and lethal overdoses. Bad trips are typically the result of a non-lethal overdose. Death can be a RESULT of an overdose, but dying from a drug is not the actual meaning for "overdose".
Currently, marijuana isn't regulated, and therefore, there are no "warning labels" or "recommended dosage" to prevent negative side effects or ODing on it. If you've ever thought "I think I just smoked too much", you are probably on the border of an actual overdose. You stopped before the negative effects became "too much" for you and you should be glad. Not everyone is fortunate to know that it was "too much" until it's too late. Edibles are a prime example. They are far more potent than their smoke-able counterpart, last much longer, and the effects are delayed.... Making it much easier to overdo it, but not realize it until it actually kicks in.
In most cases, if someone smokes or eats too much marijuana, they have a bad trip. Typically, these situations are not taken seriously because people DON'T die from it. If people actually died from it, it would be more carefully scrutinized and people would be more cautious. However, because of this, people smoke or eat it not thinking that "too much" could hurt them. On top of that, when someone actually does trip, others play off those traumatic experiences as the person being "unable to handle their [stuff]". This is a sad truth.
Yes, there are no reports from lethal overdosing on marijuana. But panic attacks and short bouts of schizophrenia are common. People have gone to the hospital freaking out from smoking or eating too much weed. They think something is horribly wrong, but they have absolutely no control over how their body is reacting. I don't know about you, but that kind of reaction is not "normal". However, there are MANY reports of it having happened. Everyone will admit that the person obviously took "too much" or at least "more than they could handle". Hence, "more than the normal or recommended amount". So, therefore, they actually ODed. It's unfortunate that they had to experience such a thing, but they are fortunate that marijuana isn't the kinda of drug that you can lethally OD on. However, it sad that others don't take such events seriously, all because they didn't personally experience it themselves.
Honestly, I can't wait until marijuana is legalized. More so because it will be regulated and that will hopefully lessen the number of people who have to experience bad trips. I'm not preaching against marijuana usage. I just think people need to be more aware that there are repercussions from not knowing your limits and what those effects are. If more people were made aware of the negatives, they would be better prepared to handle the situation when and if it does happen.
• I did recently and it was a nightmare
I'm in my 40s and have used pot around 30 times, mostly when I was younger. I recently at some edibles for the first time and found out that pot has a nasty little secret. Large doses, especially lost lasting edibles, can leave your brain a neurochemical wreck for quite a while. I had about a 10 hour wicked, terrifying high, followed by 6 full days of misery. I figure I probably had about 5 times more medical marijuana at once that recommended and I am NOT a regular user. I had all the typical overdose symptoms and they lasted a LONG times......Extreme anxiety, panic, feeling like I constantly had adrenaline rushes, dry mouth, chills, couldn't eat, feelings of derealization and depersonalization, feeling like I was losing my mind and that I would never be normal again, anhedonia, distorted perception and thinking, etc. It finally got so bad I saw a doctor and got a prescription for a benzodiazepine, which has really helped. I think my brain is finally starting to recover after a full 7 days. I know what people will say..."you probably are sensitive to pot" or "you probably have underlying anxiety issues." Neither of these is true in my case. True, marijuana probably can't physically kill you, but it can make you wish you were dead. I have no doubt that someone might commit suicide if they experienced what I just went through. I know I thought about it when I was at my worst, about 3 days after I overdosed. With pot becoming legal, I predict that ERs will start seeing a lot more of this "post overdose anxiety" caused by the uninitiated eating high potency marijuana.
• I just did and it was hell on earth
I'm in my mid 40s and have smoked pot about 30 times in my life....Mostly nice giddy short highs. Last week, I ate some medical marijuana cookies and it messed me up bad. I was high for about 12 hours, during which I thought I was going to lose my mind. It felt like months passed and it was torture. Four days later, after all the THC was out of my system, I began having terrible anxiety, panic, derealization and depersonalization. I felt like my brain was broken, I couldn't eat, I had chills, and a constant feeling of adrenaline rush/panic. 6 days later, the anxiety and impaired thinking was so bad I finally broke down and saw a doctor. They put my on a benzodiazipine, which really helped. I feel like I'm starting to come out of it now. I wouldn't go through that again for a million bucks. I thought about killing myself when it was at its worst. People will say "well, you probably had a pre-existing anxiety issue" or "you're just sensitive to pot." Neither is the case with me. People need to wake up to the fact that, particularly with edibles, you can knock your neurotransmitters way out of whack with a prolonged and intense high and it can take quite a while to get your brain back to normal. Sure, you can't die from too much pot, but you can wish that you did. This has been one of the worst experiences of my life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. There is definitely some kind of neurological syndrome that follows consuming too much THC. I'm confident that the future will prove me right, especially now that pot is becoming legal. I'm not saying it should be criminalized, but I think THC should only be prescribed in medically measurable doses. The consequences of having 3, 5 or 10 times more than is needed for an infrequent or novice user are terrifying and prolonged. It's taken me over a week to feel even slightly functional. For most of the past week, I wondered if I would ever get back to normal and I felt very depressed and scared. Too much pot is NOT harmless, particularly if eaten.
• Definitely. Why can't you?
This is because everything can be overdosed. Just like vitamins. I highly doubt consuming a lot of vitamins isn't harmful, but in this case, yes, it can be harmful. Additionally, many doctors choose not to use it simply because there isn't enough evidence to support anything that is positive for mairjuana apart from people's belief in its "good recreational use"
• Yes you can overdose on Marijuana, the only thing is... That it would take a lot to make it happen.
According to one frequently cited study, a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times the amount of THC in a joint in order to be at risk of dying. So the most you could do before you get to that amount is fall into a coma, and as long as your body receives everything it needs there's nothing to worry about. It would be like taking DMT.
• Yes you can overdose but not death
Smoked several times in my life before with high. Edibles are different. Ate pot cookie had EXTREME reaction. I don't care what anyone says it was real to me. My hallucinations, paranoid feelings and death like feelings were not fun. Yes, sign me up. No thanks. Wouldn't wish my experience on anyone. Not worth it. Please don't eat if you deal with anxiety of any kind. Not everyone is the same and pot community laughs it off. Not a community for me. I'll never do it again.
• Yes you can by eating it.
I was given a weed pill(large) from a dispensary so it want cut with anything else about 30/40 mins later I was dizzy and throwing up like I drank way to much alcohol. After a hour of throwing up I passed out.
Also ate to much weed ice cream SAMETHING happened.
It is possible to OD on weed but not to the point of death.
• Because I just did
I had quite a lot of weed when I was a teenager (roughly 200-300 times), I am now 33 and don't really do any. That was until my girlfriend got curious since she never tried it. She is not smoking so we decided to make a weed brownie. Out of busy business schedule, I couldn't find the time to properly search for all possibilities etc. I just googled a few recipes and got on with it. I wasn't even sure the amount of weed was enough. Anyway, we baked it and then ate a slice each. After 45 minutes, I had a very slight effect which felt like a poor-quality weed. I then said to my girlfriend that this was not going to be enough and that I was going to eat 2 more. She decided to eat 1.5 slices more. Just 10 minutes after that, the first slice kicked in... And I remember telling her "I have no idea what we are going to do when the second party kicks in". It was quite horrible. I almost completely lost the concept of my "self", I lost track of time. I would say a word, but right after, I would not be sure if I said it a few seconds ago or 15 minutes ago or if I said it at all. She experienced the same... We managed to take it calmly, and decided to sleep after feeling that we had left the worst behind, and it would not get any worse than that. After a 6-hour sleep, we woke up and were still under a significantly reduced effect. All in all, it was 4.5 hours after we had eaten the first slice until we went to bed. Considering we still had some effect when we woke up, I would say this overdose episode went on around 10 hours. Certainly not recommended. If any of us was a panicky personality, this experience could end up really really badly...
• Overdose does not = death
Its quite obvious that death is nearly impossible from weed alone, but to OD on weed is possible, and likely if you smoke too much of it. Even the 'no' guys admit It, it's called "greening out". If you had any underling condition, like a heart condition, the elevated heart rate could cause cardiac arrest. The paranoid freaking out on too much weed could do something really stupid (jump out a window to get away from green aliens) and fall to their death. YES, entirely possible to OD from too much weed, just like any drug, but extremely unlikely to result in death, even indirectly.
• It is impossible to overdose on marijuana.
You cannot overdose on anything. You can drown from drinking to much water, but you cannot overdose on grass. Weed is a natural herb. There are only a few mild side effects. Even though it can lead to other things, you can absolutely not overdose on pot. Simple as that.
• It is not possible to overdose on marijuana, I study it at Harvard.
There is no possible way to overdose on marijuana. Marijuana is a natural growing herb from the earth, just like grass. The only side effects that marijuana can have on the human body is short term memory loss, paranoia, ect. The only possible way to overdose is if you put something else in it, such as cocaine, or oxycodine.
• I have tried, and failed.
I have tried to overdose on weed. I smoked it for several hours at one time, not working afterword. I tried to eat some hash brownies (also known as weed brownies). This also didn't work. I ran out of solutions so then I tried to eat the weed and some shrooms. You can not overdose!
• No
No you can not overdose from marijuana. You would have to smoke at least your body weight in marijuana to cause an overdose of THC in your system. Trying to overdose of marijuana would make a person pass out from oxygen loss far before they ever experienced any signs of an overdose. The only thing that a person will do from consuming a great amount of marijuana is sit around and laugh at anything remotely funny while eating anything within arms reach.
• You might eat yourself to death.
There have been no instances of death connected to smoking too much marijuana. I have seen some people consume a lot of food if they smoke too much, so the potential of dying from a food overdose is more likely than dying from a weed overdose. There is no evidence suggesting that marijuana can kill if you smoke too much in one sitting.
• NO!
No, It's not even possible for a person to actually overdose on marijuana. The most it will do is put you to sleep if you smoke too much. There are no documented cases of a person ever dying due to too much marijuana in the system, since It's a natural herb.
• You can't overdose on marijuana
This opinion is based on the semantics of "overdose." In a medical sense, overdosing is the ingestion of some sort of substance that is over the recommended dose, or causes a toxic reaction or leads to death.
Since there is no medically "safe" dose of marijuana, one cannot overdose in that regard. Also, since there have been no instances of death or toxic body reactions to marijuana, one cannot overdose in that sense either.
In short, since marijuana does not cause a detrimental effect to the body that leads to necrosis, death, toxicity, etc, it cannot be considered a danger to ingest in large quantities.
• You can not die from a overdose of marijuana
This is a scientific fact, not even a debate.
The only way you can die from marijuana is if you are incredibly allergic to it, or a pre-existing condition that would be fatally triggered by marijuana, like the increase in heart rate.
People who say yes are either considering the effects as a overdose, or are ignorant to the facts.
• It's our Brains
There are no CBD or THC receptors in the part of the brain that control the heart, making it POSSIBLE to consume potent doses (Sedative doses) without affecting your heart. Also your brain turns OFF THC and CBD receptors the more it is exposed to it. There is no known reason for this as of yet. This fact makes a higher tolerance NOT the same as a formed dependence. Thus, the more you smoke the safer an already safe drug gets.
• No you cannot OD from Marijuana
To die from marijuana use you would have to smoke 1500 pounds in 15 minutes. You would pass out before your body would allow you to smoke that much. It doesn't matter the grade you use, it is quiet litteraly to smoke that much in such a short amount of time.
If you going to look at ODing then you should look at the positive as well in the fact that it heals so many medical issues like glucoma and slows down alzhimers.
Though that's not the topic. You cannot overdose on marijuana. Even if you want to look at the definition of ODing "a person who has taken an overdose of a drug, especially one who has become seriously ill or has died from such an overdose." There is not dosage so you cannot overdose on it. And no one has died from it either.

Now we’ll move away from spectral methods, and into a few lectures on topological methods. Today we’ll look at the Borsuk-Ulam theorem, and see a stunning application to combinatorics, given by Lovász in the late 70’s. A great reference for this material is Matousek’s book, from which I borrow heavily. I’ll also discuss why the Lovász-Kneser theorem arises in theoretical CS.
### The Borsuk-Ulam Theorem
We begin with a statement of the theorem. We will think of the n-dimensional sphere as the subset of ${\mathbb R^{n+1}}$ given by
${S^n = \left\{ (x_1, \ldots, x_{n+1}) : x_1^2 + \cdots + x_{n+1}^2 = 1\right\}.}$
Borsuk-Ulam Theorem: For every continuous mapping ${f : S^n \to \mathbb R^n}$, there exists a point ${x \in S^n}$ with ${f(x)=f(-x)}$.
Pairs of points ${x,-x \in S^n}$ are called antipodal.
There are a couple of common illustrative examples for the case ${n=2}$. The theorem says that if you take the air out of a basketball, crumple it (no tearing), and flatten it out, then there are two points directly on top of each other which were antipodal before. Another common example states that at every point in time, there must be two points on the earth which both have exactly the same temperature and barometric pressure (assuming, of course, that these two parameters vary continuously over the surface of the eath).
The n=1 case is completely elementary. For the rest of the lecture, let’s use ${N = (0,0,\ldots,1)}$ and ${S=(0,0,\ldots,-1)}$ to denote the north and south poles (the dimension will be obvious from context). To prove the n=1 case, simply trace out the path in ${\mathbb R}$ starting at ${f(N)}$ and going clockwise around ${S^1}$. Simultaneously, trace out the path starting at ${f(S)}$ and going counter-clockwise at the same speed. It is easy to see that eventually these two paths have to collide: At the point of collision, ${f(x)=f(-x)}$.
We will give the sketch of a proof for ${n \geq 2.}$ Let ${g(x)=f(x)-f(-x)}$, and note that our goal is to prove that ${g(x)=0}$ for some ${x \in S^n}$. Note that ${g}$ is antipodal in the sense that ${g(x)=-g(-x)}$ for all ${x \in S^n}$. Now, if ${g(x) \neq 0}$ for every ${x}$, then by compactness there exists an ${\epsilon > 0}$ such that ${\|g(x)\| > \epsilon}$ for all ${x \in S^n}$. Because of this, we may approximate ${g}$ arbitrarily well by a smooth map, and prove that the approximation has a 0. So we will assume that ${g}$ itself is smooth.
Now, define ${h : S^n \to \mathbb R^n}$ by ${h(x_1, \ldots, x_{n+1}) = (x_1, \ldots, x_n)}$, i.e. the north/south projection map. Let ${X = S^n \times [0,1]}$ be a hollow cylinder, and let ${F : X \to \mathbb R^n}$ be given by ${F(x,t)=t g(x) + (1-t)h(x)}$ so that ${F}$ linearly interpolates between ${g}$ and ${h}$.
Also, let’s define an antipodality on ${X}$ by ${\nu(x,t) = (-x,t)}$. Note that ${F}$ is antipodal with respect to ${\nu}$, i.e. ${F(\nu(x,t))=-F(x,t)}$, because both ${g}$ and ${h}$ are antipodal. For the sake of contradiction, assume that ${g(x) \neq 0}$ for all ${x \in S^n}$.
Now let’s consider the structure of the zero set ${Z = F^{-1}(0)}$. Certainly ${(N,0), (S,0) \in Z}$ since ${h(N)=h(S)=0}$, and these are h’s only zeros. Here comes the sketchy part: Since ${g}$ is smooth, ${F}$ is also smooth, and thus locally ${F}$ can be approximated by an affine mapping ${F_{\mathrm{loc}} : \mathbb R^{n+1} \to \mathbb R^n}$. It follows that if ${F_{\mathrm{loc}}^{-1}(0)}$ is not empty, then it should be a subspace of dimension at least one. By an arbitrarily small perturbation of the initial ${g}$, ensuring that ${F}$ is sufficiently generic, we can ensure that ${F_{\mathrm{loc}}^{-1}(0)}$ is either empty or a subspace of dimension one. Thus locally, ${F^{-1}(0)}$ should look like a two-sided curve, except at the boundaries ${t=0}$ and ${t=1}$, where ${F^{-1}(0)}$ (if non-empty) would look like a one-sided curve. But, for instance, ${F^{-1}(0)}$ cannot contain any Y-shaped branches.
It follows that ${Z}$ is a union of closed cycles and paths whose endpoints must lie at the boundaries ${t=0}$ and ${t=1}$. (${Z}$ is represented by red lines in the cylinder above.) But since there are only two zeros on the ${t=0}$ sphere, and none on the ${t=1}$ sphere, ${Z}$ must contain a path ${\gamma}$ from ${(N,0)}$ to ${(S,0).}$ Since ${F}$ is antipodal with respect to ${\nu}$, ${\gamma}$ must also satisfy this symmetry, making it impossible for the segment initiating at N to ever meet up with the segment initiating at S. Thus we arrive at a contradiction, implying that ${g}$ must take the value 0.
Notice that the only important property we used about ${h}$ (other than its smoothness) is that is has a number of zeros which is twice an odd number. If ${h}$ had, e.g. four zeros, then we could have two ${\nu}$-symmetric paths emanating from and returning to the bottom. But if ${h}$ has six zeros, then we would again reach a contradiction. | 1,514 | 5,017 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 79, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.84375 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | latest | en | 0.893134 |

1. ## Compactness
I fell like this question is simple, but I just can't get my head around it:
Give an example of a space with two points in which not all compact sets are closed.
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Well there are only three topologies you can put on it. The discrete one won't work as all sets are closed, the trivial topology won't work either. The only option is $\{\emptyset,\{a\},\{a,b\}\}$. There is only one set that is open but not closed, and only one sequence in it.
3. What do you mean by "and only one sequence in it"?
Also, is the "open but not closed" set the empty set? I was told that the empty set was simultaneously closed and open, so what's the difference between "simultaneously closed and open" and "open but not closed"?
4. If a set is both open and closed, then obviously it can't be open and not closed..
Do you understand why in any topological space $X$, both $X$ and $\phi$ are open and closed?
The set he is talking about is $\{a\}$. Do you see why it is open and not closed? And since it only has one point in it, do you see why it has only one sequence?
Now, can you finish?
5. Do you understand why in any topological space , both and are open and closed?
I think I do:
$\phi$ is open since the interior of $\phi$ is empty. If a set is equal to it's interior then it's open.
$\phi$ is closed since all it's boundary points are in $\phi$ since it doesn't have any.
Once we have this, $X^c=\phi$ and since $\phi$ is either open or closed, we get that $X^c$ is also either open or closed.
The set he is talking about is . Do you see why it is open and not closed? And since it only has one point in it, do you see why it has only one sequence?
$\{a\}$ is open because it is equal to it's interior. However, $\{a\}$ is surely closed? $\{a\}^c=\{b\}$ (since it's a two point space) and, by the same argument for why $\{a\}$ was open, $\{b\}$ is open. We have a complement of a set as open, so $\{a\}$ must be closed.
Why isn't that right?
And since it only has one point in it, do you see why it has only one sequence?
I see why, if you've only got one point any sequence would just be that point repeatedly!
$\{a\}$ has got to be closed since the only sequence is just $a$ repeated, so it has a convergent subsequence. This is just another sequence of just $a$'s, so it converges to $a$.
We know that every convergent sequence has a convergent subsequence iff the set is compact. Therefore $\{a\}$ is compact.

Why isn't that right?
Your notion of interior is flawed. Interior is the largest open subset of the set and I (or you) define the open sets with the topology. So when I have {a} in the topology but not {b}, that means that the largest open subset of {b} is the empty set.
A better way to think about open and closed sets is through topology. The whole space and the empty set are open by definition. A set is closed, if and only if its complement is open (in this case $\{b\}=\{a\}^c$ which is not open so {a} is not closed).
7. Originally Posted by Showcase_22

Even more egregious is the above statement. Do not think about compactness as the above unless you are in metric spaces.
As Focus said there are only three topologies on $\{a,b\}$ up to homeomorphism. They are namely $\left\{\varnothing,\{a,b\}\right\},\left\{\varnoth ing,\{a\},\{b\},\{a,b\}\right\}$ and $\left\{\varnothing,\{a\},\{a,b\}\right\}$.
The first is out since every non-open set isn't closed.. The last is out since it is metrizable under the discrete metric (and thus Hausdorff and so every compact subspace is closed). So it remains that we must choose $\left\{\varnothing,\{a\},\{a,b\}\right\}$. Now, clearly $\{a\}$ as a subspace has a finite topology and thus by necessity is compact. But, it is open since it is in the topology but it is not closed since $X-\{a\}=\{b\}$ which is not in the topology.
8. Oh, I think I get it!
So when you write $
\{\emptyset,\{a\},\{a,b\}\}
$
, and define this to be your topology, all the sets in this set are defined to be open. I haven't encountered it written like this before.
So, returning to the question, you could have the set $\{2,5\}$ where $
\{\emptyset,\{2\},\{2,5\}\}
$
is your topology (ie. all the sets defined to be open).
$\{2\}$ is a compact set because every sequence would be of the form $a_n=2$ $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$. This gives that every subsequence converges since every subsequence $a_{n_i}=2$ (ie. converges to 2).
$\{2\}$ is not closed since $\{2\}^c=\{5\}$ and this is not open since $\{5\}$ is not in the topology (is this the correct way of saying this?).
Alternatively, looking at the definition, a set is closed $\Leftrightarrow$ it's complement is open. Since the complement is not open then our original set is not closed (i'm trying to think of it multiple ways).

Everything is fine up to here!
$\{2\}$ is a compact set because every sequence would be of the form $a_n=2$ $\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$. This gives that every subsequence converges since every subsequence $a_{n_i}=2$ (ie. converges to 2).
Wrong reasoning, but the correct result. In a general topological space, compactness (Every open cover has a finite subcover) does NOT necessarily ensure sequential compactness (every sequence has a convergent subsequence), for example $X = \{0,1\}^{[0,1]}$ with the product topology.
The right reasoning here is that every open covering of $\{a\}$ is finite, and thus you always have a finite subcover.
$\{2\}$ is not closed since $\{2\}^c=\{5\}$ and this is not open since $\{5\}$ is not in the topology (is this the correct way of saying this?).
Alternatively, looking at the definition, a set is closed $\Leftrightarrow$ it's complement is open. Since the complement is not open then our original set is not closed (i'm trying to think of it multiple ways).
Correct.
As a final note, you will probably later learn that in any metric space $(X, d)$, the following 3 conditions are equivalent:
1) X is compact
2) X is sequentially compact
3) X is Limit-point compact (every infinite subset of X has a limit point)
So you would actually be better off not thinking of a general topological space as a generic metric space!
10. In a general topological space, compactness (Every open cover has a finite subcover) does NOT necessarily ensure sequential compactness (every sequence has a convergent subsequence), for example with the product topology.
I'm afraid I don't follow this =S
Here compactness does not imply sequential compactness, but I know that a set is compact iff a set is sequentially compact.
Are you saying that, in general, compactness does not imply sequential compactness but a set is compact iff a set is sequentially compact holds in a euclidean space?
$
X = \{0,1\}^{[0,1]}
$
with product topology.
Also, what does this mean? I haven't seen this before =S
Is this the cartesian product of a set $\{0,1\}$ with $[0,1]$?
Elements would be like $(0,1), \ \left( 1, \frac{1}{2} \right)$ as in the x value is either 0 or 1 and the y value is any number in $[0,1]$.
If this is right, what is product topology?

Yes, that is correct, but also for any metric space and not just a Euclidean one (for example $C[[0,1], \mathbb{R}]$, the set of all continuous functions from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$).
Though that brings up the question, have you studied topology yet?

Well, in set theory, if you have $A,B$ be sets then the notation $B^A$ stands for the set of all functions from A to B.
So generally speaking, $\{0,1\}^{[0,1]}$ is the set of all functions from the unit interval to $\{0,1\}$. Equipping it with the product topology is another way of looking at it from a topological point of view - as a space of uncountably many cartesian products of the set $\{0,1\}$, but now I guess that example is too advanced for what you have learned.
An element $a$ in that set would be of the form $a = \{a_i : a_i \in \{0,1\} \ \forall i \in [0,1]\}$
Also, wikipedia provides a good first read on the product topology, if you're interested. By the way, what course was this question a part of?
12. I'm studying topology as part of my "metric spaces" course. I think it's interesting, i'm just not any good at it =S
This question was from a book I'm reading to try and understand it better. It is helping, the big problem is that it doesn't have the answers in the back of the book!

4. The exponential distribution is the only distribution that has the memoryless property.
5. The minimum of n exponentially distributed random variables Suppose that X1, X2, ..., Xn are independent exponential random variables, with Xi having rate li, i=1, ..., n. What is P(min(X1, X2, ..., Xn )>x)?
6. Comparing two exponentially distributed random variables Suppose that X1 and X2 are independent exponentially distributed random variables with rates l1 and l2. What is P(X1 < X2)?
7. The Poisson process The counting process {N(t) t ≥ 0} is said to be a Poisson process having rate l, l > 0, if (i)N(0) = 0. (ii) The process has independent increments. (iii) The number of events in any interval of length t is Poisson distributed with mean lt. That is for all s, t ≥ 0
8. The distribution of interarrival times for a Poisson process Let Tn denote the inter-arrival time between the (n-1)th event and the nth event of a Poisson process, then the Tn (n=1, 2, ...) are independent, identically distributed exponential random variables having mean 1/l.
9. A CTMC is a continuous time analog to a discrete time Markov chain • A CTMC is defined with respect to a continuous time stochastic process {X(t): t ≥0} • If X(t) = i the process is said to be in state i at time t • {i: i=0, 1, 2, ...} is the state space
10. A stochastic process {X(t): t ≥0} is a continuous time Markov chain if for all s, t , u ≥0 and 0 ≤ u < s • P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i, X(u)=x(u), 0 ≤ u < s} = P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i}
11. A CTMC is said to have stationary transition probabilities if • P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i} • is independent of s (and depends only on t).
12. A CTMC is said to have stationary transition probabilities if • P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i} • is independent of s (and depends only on t). • Pij(t) = P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i}
13. A CTMC is said to have stationary transition probabilities if • P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i} • is independent of s (and depends only on t). • Pij(t) = P{X(t+s)=j|X(s)=i} • Note: We shall always assume that the stationary property holds
14. Sojourn times • Ti: time the process spends in state i once it enters state i (the length of a visit to state i, a random variable).
15. Sojourn times • Ti: time the process spends in state i once it enters state i (the length of a visit to state i, a random variable). • Example 1:X(0)=2, the first three transitions occur at t1 =3, t1 = 4.2 and t1 = 6.5 and X(3)=4, X(4.2) = 2 and X(6.5) =1.
16. Sojourn times • Ti: time the process spends in state i once it enters state i (the length of a visit to state i, a random variable). • Example 1:X(0)=2, the first three transitions occur at t1 =3, t2 = 4.2 and t3 = 6.5 and X(3)=4, X(4.2) = 2 and X(6.5) =1. • The first sojourn time in state 4 = 4.2-3 = 1.2 • The second sojourn time in state 2 = 6.5 – 4.2 = 1.3
17. Example 2: Suppose the process has been in state 3 for 10 minutes, what is the probability that it will not leave state 3 in the next 5 minutes.
18. Example 2: Suppose the process has been in state 3 for 10 minutes, what is the probability that it will not leave state 3 in the next 5 minutes. • P(T3 > 15|T3> 10) = P(T3 > 5)
19. More generally, • P(Ti > s+t|Ti> s) = P(Ti > t) • Ti is memoryless and therefore has the exponential distribution
20. An alternative definition of a CTMC A CTMC is a stochastic process having the properties that each time it enters a state i (i) the amount of time it spends in that state before making a transition into a different state is exponentially distributed with some mean 1/vi (or transition rate vi ) (ii) when the process leaves state i, it next enters state j with some probability Pij(Pii=0 and SjPij=1, for all i)
21. A CTMC is a stochastic process that moves from state to state according to a probability transition matrix (similar to a discrete time Markov chain) , but the amount of time it spends in each state is exponentially distributed.
22. To define a CTMC, we need to define a state space, a probability transition matrix, and a set of transition rates.

There are also many YouTube videos that can show you how to Solve limits algebraically. We can solve math word problems.
## Solving limits algebraically
When you try to Solve limits algebraically, there are often multiple ways to approach it. There are a few different ways to solve a compound inequality, but one of the most common methods is to use a compound inequality solver. This is a tool that allows you to input two or more inequalities and then outputs the solution. There are many different types of compound inequality solvers, but they all work in basically the same way. One method for solving a compound inequality is to graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane. This can be done by using a graphing calculator
If you're struggling with trigonometry, there's no shame in using a trigonometry solver. These online tools can quickly and easily help you solve any trigonometry problem, no matter how difficult it may be. Just enter the problem into the solver and it will provide you with the solution. You can even use the solver to check your work to make sure you're on the right track.
An equation solver for x is an online tool that allows you to input an equation and determine the value of x. This can be useful for solving math problems or for checking your work. There are a variety of equation solvers available, so be sure to choose one that is appropriate for your needs.
There are a few different ways that you can solve square roots, depending on what you are given. If you are given a perfect square, then you can just take the square root of that number. For example, the square root of 9 is 3, because 3 squared is 9. However, if you are not given a perfect square, then you will need to use a different method. One method is to use estimation. To do this, you look at the number and find
Radical Expressions Radical expressions are mathematical expressions that contain a square root, cube root, or other type of root. In order to solve a radical expression, you need to find the value of the root. This can be done by using a calculator, or by using estimation. Once you have the value of the root, you can then use algebra to solve the expression. | 468 | 2,219 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.21875 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | latest | en | 0.946618 |

(ii)
(iii)
Q 3.4 : What is the law of inertia ?
Law of Inertia :
Newton’s First law of Motion deals with the inertial property of matter , so Newton’s First Law of Motion is also known as Law of Inertia .
Statement :
” A body continues its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line provided no net force acts on it .”
Q 3.5 : Why is it dangerous to travel on the roof of bus ?
If a person travels on the roof of a bus , it would be dangerous .
Reason : Because when a bus takes a sharp turn , passengers fall in outward direction . It is due to inertia that they want to continue their motion in a straight line and thus fall outwards .
Q 3.6 : Why does a passenger move outward when a bus takes a turn ?
When a bus takes a sharp turn passengers fall in the outward direction .
Reason : It is due to inertia that they want to continue their motion in a straight line and thus fall outwards .
Q 3.7 : How can you relate a force with the change of the momentum of a body ?
” When a force acts on a body , it produces an acceleration in the body and will be equal to rate of change of momentum of a body .”
Q 3.8 : What will be the tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by two opposite forces 100 N each ?
The tension in a rope that is pulled from its ends by opposite forces 100 N each will be 100 N.
Q 3.9 : Action and reaction are always equal and opposite then how does body move ?
Action and Reaction force always act on different bodies , so they do not cancel the effect of each other .
→ So , we apply Action force on the earth in backward direction , and earth apply Reaction force in forward direction .
→ This is how we move .
Q 3.10 : A horse pulls the cart . If the action and reaction are equal and opposite then how does the cart move ?
The horse applies action force by feet on the road , the reaction is given by the road on horse , due to which horse moves .
• The cart , which is tied with the horse , also moves .
Since , action and reaction never acts on same body , so the cart moves.
Q 3.11 : What is the law of conservation of momentum ?
Law of conservation of Momentum :
” The momentum of an isolated system of two or more than two interacting bodies remains constant .”
Examples : Firing a bullet , Release of air from balloon etc .
Mathematical : m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2
Q 3.12 : Why is the law of conservation of momentum important ?
By using law of conservation of momentum , we can calculate :
• Force
• Velocity
• Acceleration
→ Most of elementary particles are discovered by the use of this law .
Q 3.13 : When a gun is fired , it recoils . Why ?
Reason : When a gun is fired it recoils to conserve momentum .
Explanation :
• When the bullet is fired from the gun , it gives a large velocity to the bullet in the forward direction .
• So , no external force acts on the system , so the momentum of the system (gun + bullet ) must be zero after firing .
→ Thus , gun moves backwards with a momentum equal to the momentum of the bullet .
Q 3.14 : Describe two situations in which force of friction is needed .
1. We need friction to write on the paper .
2. We need friction to walk on the ground .
3. Birds need friction to fly in the air .
4. Friction is needed to stop moving vehicles .
Q 3.15 : How does oiling the moving parts of a machine lowers friction ?
Oiling the moving parts of a machine lowers friction because the oil fills up all the rough spot (cold welds ) and make the surface smooth .
Q 3.16 : Describe ways to reduce friction .
Methods of Reducing Friction :
• Making the sliding surfaces smooth .
• Making the fast moving objects a streamline shape (fish shape ) such as cars , aero planes etc.
• Lubricating the sliding surfaces .
• Using ball bearings or roller bearings . Because rolling friction is less than sliding friction .
Q 3.17 : Why rolling friction is less than sliding friction ?
Reason :
In rolling friction , the area of contact between two objects is comparatively less than in case of sliding .
Hence , area of contact is less ,, so force of rolling friction is less than sliding friction .
Q 3.18 : What you know about the following :
(i)
Tension in a string :
” The force acting along a string causes tension in the string .”
Example :
When a weight is suspended by a string . Tension produces by a string . It is equal to the weight but opposite in direction .
(ii)
Limiting force of friction :
“The maximum value of friction is known as the Force of limiting friction . “
→ Denoted by Fs .
(iii)
Braking Force :
” The force which is required to overcome the limiting friction is called braking force .”
→ It is basically a measure of braking power of a vehicle .
(iv)
Skidding of vehicles :
” The act of sliding or slipping of a vehicle over a surface , often sideways without revolving is called skidding .”
→ It happen when a force of friction between tyres and road is small , then on applying brakes to moving vehicle, its tyre slide over road .
(v)
Seatbelts:
A belt or strap in an automobile or airplanes that is used for safety .
In case of an accident or sudden stop , seat belts holds the passenger in their seats .
(vi)
The phenomenon of raising outer edge of the curved road above the inner edge is to provide necessary centripetal force to the vehicle to take safer turn on the curve road is called banking of roads .
(vii)
Cream Separator :
A device which is used to separate cream from milk .
Q 3.19 : What would happen if all friction suddenly disappears ?
• If there was no friction , Nothing would steady on ground and nothing would exist in the way they do now .
→Birds cannot fly .
→ We cannot walk on ground .
→ We cannot write on the paper etc.
Q 3.20 : Why the spinner of a washing machine is made to spin at a very high speed ?
Reason :
Because when it spins at high speed , the water from wet clothes is forced out through these holes due to lack of centripetal force .

Just like addition and subtraction, multiplication ($x$, $.$) and division (÷, $/$) are opposites of each other. Multiplying by a number and then dividing by the same number gets us back to the start again:
• $a$ × $b / b = a$
• $5$ x $4 / 4 = 5$
Sometimes you will see a multiplication of letters as a dot or without any symbol. Don’t worry, its exactly the same thing. Mathematicians are efficient and like to write things in the shortest, neatest way possible.
• $abc = a$×$b$×$c$
• $a$·$b$·$c = a$×$b$×$c$
It is usually neater to write known numbers to the left, and letters to the right. So although 4$x$ and $x$4 are the same thing, it looks better to write 4$x$. In this case, the “4” is a constant that is referred to as the coefficient of x.
# Extension exercise
Commutativity for Multiplication
The fact that $ab = ba$ is known as the commutative property of multiplication. Therefore, both addition and multiplication are described as commutative operations.

Mean simply can be understood as the mathematical average of a set of two or more numbers. The mean for a given set of numbers can be determined in more than one way, including the arithmetic mean method, which is employed to compute the sum of the numbers in the series, and the geometric mean approach, which is the average of a set of products.
Mean deviation is a measure of the central tendency. It explains to us how far all the observations are from the middle, on average?. In statistics and mathematics, the deviation is a measure that is applied to determine the difference between the observed value and the expected value of a variable. With this article on Mean Deviation, you will learn about what is the mean deviation? through definition, formula and calculation.
## What is Mean Deviation?
The mean deviation method is specified for a central value ‘X’ and is the mean of absolute values of the deviations of the observations from the central value ‘X’. Every deviation is an absolute deviation as it is an absolute value which indicates that we neglect the negative signs.
In simple words, the deviation is the length from the center point. Furthermore, the mean deviation is applied to determine how far the values fall from the middle of the data set. We can estimate the mean deviation from any size of central tendency. But, usually, in the statistical study mean deviation from mean and median are used. Also, the deviations on both sides of the Mean shall be equal. Let us begin with the mean deviation formula in detail.
Know more about Mean Median Mode here.
## Mean Deviation Formulas
The mean deviation is defined as the mean of the absolute deviations of the observations/ values from a proper average. This average may be the mean, median or mode. We further identify it as the mean absolute deviation.
$$M.D.=\frac{Sum\ of\ absolute\ values\ of\ deviations\ from\ x}{Number\ of\ observations}$$
Let us begin with the various mean deviation formulas one by one.
Mean = (Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations)
Example: What is the mean of 2, 4, 8, 6 and 12?
Step 1: First add all the numbers.
2+4+6+8+12 = 32
Step 2: Now divide by 5 (here 5 is the total number of observations).
Mean = 32/5 = 6.4
The mean deviation about the mean formula is as follows:
$$The\ formula\ to\ calculate\ the\ mean\ deviation\ for\ an\ individual\ series\ is\ given\ by:$$
$$M.D.=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N\left|X_i-\overline{X}\right|}{N}$$

The median of a distribution is defined as the value of the variable such that the quantity of observations above it is equivalent to the number of observations below it.
### Median of Ungrouped Data
If n is even then the median is the average of the values which are at the position; (n/2) and [(n/2)+1].

In Statistics, mode or modal value is that observation that happens at the maximum time or has the highest frequency in the provided set of data. A set of numbers/data with one mode is known as unimodal, a set of numbers possessing two modes is bimodal and a set of numbers having three modes is known as trimodal. However, any set of numbers holding four or more than four modes is known as multimodal.
$$Mode=l+\left\{\frac{f_m−f_1}{2f_m−f_1-f_2}\right\}\times h$$
$$Where,$$
$$l=\ lower\ limit\ of\ modal\ class,$$
$$f_m=frequency\ of\ modal\ class,$$
$$f_1=frequency\ of\ class\ preceding\ modal\ class,\$$
$$f_2=frequency\ of\ class\ succeeding\ modal\ class\ and\ h=class\ width.$$

## How to Find Mean Deviation?
The mean deviation is the statistical measure that is applied to estimate the average deviation from the mean value of the provided data set. The mean deviation of the data values can be calculated by following these steps.
Step 1: Determine the mean, median or mode of the given series.
Step 2: Estimate the deviations from the Mean, median or mode and neglect the minus signs.
Step 3: Multiply the deviations by the frequency. This step is required only in the discrete and continuous series.
Step 4: Sum up or calculate the total of all the deviations.
Step 5: Final step is to apply the formula.

## Mean Deviation FAQs
Q.1 What is the mean deviation definition?
Ans.1 The mean of the absolute values of the numerical differences between the numbers of a set (such as statistical data) and their mean or median.
Q.2 How to calculate mean deviation from mean?
Ans.2 The first step is to determine the mean of all values. Next, calculate the distance of every value from that mean i.e deduct the mean from each value and ignore the minus signs. Lastly, obtain the mean of those distances by the respective formula.
Q.3 How to calculate mean deviation?
Ans.3 The mean deviation of the data values can be calculated as follows: Estimate the deviations from the mean, median or mode and neglect the minus signs. Next is to multiply the deviations by the frequency. Lastly, sum up or calculate the total of all the deviations and apply the formula.
Q.4 Why do we use mean deviation?
Ans.4 The term “mean deviation” is a measure that indicates how much the observations in the data set varies from the mean value of the observations in the given data set.
Q.5 What is the mean deviation and how it is calculated?
Ans.5 A mean deviation is a statistical approach to determine the average deviation of values from the mean in an example. It is calculated first by obtaining the average of the observations. The difference of each observation from the mean is then defined and lastly, the mean deviation is determined through the formula.
Q.6 What is the difference between mean deviation and standard deviation?
Ans.6 A mean is the average of a set of two or more numbers. Whereas the standard deviation is used to measure the volatility of a stock. | 2,934 | 10,508 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 1, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.71875 | 5 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | latest | en | 0.903692 |

1. Problem help - Orthogonal Bases
Consider the following Subspace on R3:
U={(x1,x2,x3) € R3: x1-2x2+x3=0}
Which of the following group of vectors is an orthogonal basis of U?
A - {(1,-2,1), (-1,0,1)}
B - {(-1,0,1), (1,1,1)}
C - {(2,1,0), (-1,0,1)}
D - {(2,1,0), (0,0,1)}
E - {(1,-2,1), (-1,0,1), (1,1,1)}
Can anyone give me a detailed resolution for this exercise?
2. First note that the equation describes a plane in R^3. Specifically, recall that a plane may be specified by the set of all points whose displacement vectors from a proprietary point are normal to a specific vector, called the normal vector. Normality is defined by the dot product vanishing, so note that your equation may be rewritten as $\displaystyle (1, -2, 1)\cdot [(x_1, x_2, x_3) - (0, 0, 0)] = 0$ A normal vector to your plane is thus (1, -2, 1).
The two basis vectors must have a dot product of 0 to be orthogonal and must have a cross product that is a scalar multiple of the normal vector, since they must lie in that plane. | 332 | 1,051 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.65625 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | latest | en | 0.901029 |

There seems to be multiple versions of this idiom, with slightly different characters:
Baidu: 将在外，君命有所不受
汉典: 将在军，君命有所不受
And a big bunch of variants:
• 将在外，军令有所不受
• 将在外，军令有所不从
• 将在外，君令有所不受
• 将在外，军令有所不为
• 将在外，军令有所不授
There may be more that I have missed.
So in general, these variants are: 将在[外|军]，[君|军][命|令]有所不[受|从|为|授].
A few variants are documented too (sometimes attributed the same person!):
《史记·孙子吴起列传》：“ 孙子 曰：‘臣既已受命为将，将在**， *君命*有所不受。’遂斩队长二人以徇。”
《史记·魏公子列传》：“ 侯生 曰：‘将在外，*主令*有所不受，以便国家。’”
1. Which ones are correct, which ones are incorrect?
2. For the variants that are correct, are there subtle differences in their meaning?

As a general comment: please provide sources or evidence where possible, otherwise I have no idea which answers are correct :) – congusbongus Oct 29 '13 at 3:39

It should be 君令有所不受. The whole sentence 将在外，君令有所不受 means: (if) the general is far away (at the battlefield), he does not have to obey all emperor's orders. The deeper meaning is that the general should judge and act according to the real situations at the battlefield and thus doesn't need to obey all the orders.
将在军 means the same as 将在外. 军 there means at war as well. Hence 将在军 is also correct.
君命 is the same as 君令. Both and mean order/command there. Hence both 君命 and 君令 are correct. 军命 is not correct. It does not have the right meaning.
主令 means one's master's order, means master. So it means the same as well.

When you say it should be "君令有所不受", do you mean that both "将在军" and "将在外" are correct? What about 君命, is it incorrect? – congusbongus Oct 29 '13 at 22:36
Yes, "将在军" and "将在外" are correct. 君命 is correct (as I have explained, it means the same as 军令). – user58955 Oct 29 '13 at 23:55
I don't think 君命(君王的命令) is the same as 军令(军事上所发布的命令). A general can issue a 军令, but not a 君命. – 杨以轩 Oct 31 '13 at 3:10
Ah, you are absolutely right. It's a typo I made in the comment, I should have written 君令. I meant 君命 and 君令 are the same – user58955 Oct 31 '13 at 4:45
It has lots of variants however all of them should be "君" (emperor), other than "军".
Just to mention another implied meaning of this sentence. Although it means "A general at battle field far away does not have to strictly obey all the orders from the emperor", it implies something else in many cases in the history, as wars are so frequent and certain general has the ability to rebel.
Spies or opponent of the general may say this to the emperor to imply the general is actually disobeying his order (further implying rebellion). Generals may say this to imply that he is going to rebel. Deputy or counselor may say this to the general or soldiers to cover the general's intention of rebellion or to give the excuse of making preparation of rebellion.
That is all because Chinese are complicated.

I think "将在外，君命有所不受" is correct. it is a ancient idiom in china. It means if one army general is having a war with enemy, he can do something against the idea of the emperor, in China the method to win a war is changing by many conditions. for example weather, location or the superiority of the soldier. so the decision of general is very flexible. if you are out of office for a product show, but you find your booth is too boring, you want to change the style of you booth, but you boss calling you don't do that. you can say"将在外， 君命有所不受, 我坚持要换展台", maybe you will be cursed roundly by your boss if you come back to office. maybe your decision get a big success, and your boss will praise you. but anyway, if you say such a idiom, it means you will response the result of your decision. so be careful.

I think "将在外，君令有所不受" is right. Its meaning in Chinese should be "如果一个将军在外行军打仗，那么他有一切临命专断之权"。If you change "君" to “军”， the meaning isn't right.How can a general reject all the commands in his army?!
But the extended meaning is "将在外，君王的（军令）或者任何其它命令可以不接受。"
share|improve this answer
Usually we use the first one:将在外，军令有所不受， which means the general doesn’t have to wait for the king’s order in a war, because things change very fast in a war, so a good general should have the ability to decide what to do without waiting for his king’s order.
军令 means “military orders”， 君令and 君命 both mean "king’s orders". 不受 and 不授 both mean "don’t accept"， 不从 means "don’t follow", 不为 means "don’t do".

i am thinking she needs a different color of ribbon. guess i have to stop at the stamping store tomorrow!
quilt monday
A made this quilt for me while staying over at my parent's. he did all the sewing and cut out the applique(mom did the rotary cutting and did the quilting). i love this quilt-it is just too cute. sadly, one of the hearts ran when it was washed. first time we've had that happen. mom and i treat all our *bleedable* colors right away when we buy them
might be a bit slow with the postings this week. kids are out on spring break-yippee!

is ME! i'm thrilled! even with me complaining on Crunchy Carpets how i had a very boring blog week, Gene awarded me with the coolest blog of the Coolest Blog of the Week Award
thanx so much Gene and to all my faithful readers!
almost finished
was hoping to have all the borders on today but i did some quilting at mom's today. did a small lap quilt as practice than, my first customer quilt!! i forgot to bring my camera so will have to get pictures of it next week. did a fairly good job-except for the 3/4s of a row i had to frog stitch(rip it lol)-that took just over 2 hours!! it was a flannel quilt and when i rolled it, the batting bunched and i quilted it until the quilt *duh*
mom is thrilled i've come far enough to do some customer quilts(she is booked into May already!!) and i love using the machine. i plan on getting the borders on this wall hanging tomorrow and quilting it on Tuesday
card friday
applique part 3
now the fun begins-machine stitching your appliqued pieces. i use a buttonhole stitch. you can use which ever fancy stitch your machine does. even a small narrow zigzag would be fine. you can see with just changing the stitch length how it changes the look for the buttonhole stitch
i like to use sulky thread-it has a bit of a sheen to it. if your fabric is thin, you may want to use a stabilizer behind on the reverse side. a piece of tracing or typing paper works fine and just tear it away when you are finished
i have all 4 squares done(took about 45minutes/square to do). i just might have a chance to start stitching them together tonight after the hockey game
spent the weekend tearing the house apart looking for Nemo(see post below). Jim was our room checker-he even went under our bed with a flashlight.
well, B just came screaming downstairs. he was under the bed trying to get out his cat and guess who he found?? NEMO!!!!!
guess we have a spare now lol!!
how's my font sizes?
anyone have problem reading? noticed on Jim's computer that my font looked too small but on my computer(bigger monitor) the font looks huge. let me know!
1 TY Beanie Baby Nemo bought at Disneyland in 2003. have one very brokenhearted 6 yr old. thank goodness for Ebay
paper bag album
found these while looking at old pictures on Jim's computer. made this a few years ago in a class and gave it to one of my cousins. closest i have come to scrapbooking yet!
quilt monday
i love this little quilt-i made quite a few of them. its a trapunto quilt-that is basically making an area of the quilt raised through quilting.
applique continued
after i got the shapes all traced out, i picked the fabrics i wanted to use and ironed the heatnbonded shapes to the correct fabric
than i cut out all the shapes
lots of leftover bits
for most appliqued blocks, you need to fold the block into quarters so you get your pieces on straight. than when you have it laid out like you like(tip, do this on the ironing board. its almost impossible to move a large block to your board without shifting your pieces lol) than iron them down
that's as far as i'm going to get today. i've gotten a cold and the thought of sewing just isn't appealing today

# Chapter 7
Laplace Transform
The Laplace transform can be used to solve differential equations. Be-
sides being a different and efficient alternative to variation of parame-
ters and undetermined coefficients, the Laplace method is particularly
advantageous for input terms that are piecewise-defined, periodic or im-
pulsive.
The direct Laplace transform or the Laplace integral of a function
f (t) defined for 0 ≤ t < ∞ is the ordinary calculus integration problem
Z ∞
f (t)e−st dt,
0
succinctly denoted L(f (t)) in science and engineering literature. The
L–notation recognizes that integration always proceeds over t = 0 to
t = ∞ and that the integral involves an integrator e−st dt instead of the
usual dt. These minor differences distinguish Laplace integrals from
the ordinary integrals found on the inside covers of calculus texts.
## 7.1 Introduction to the Laplace Method
The foundation of Laplace theory is Lerch’s cancellation law
R∞ R∞
0 y(t)e−st dt = 0 f (t)e−st dt implies y(t) = f (t),
(1) or
L(y(t) = L(f (t)) implies y(t) = f (t).
In differential equation applications, y(t) is the sought-after unknown
while f (t) is an explicit expression taken from integral tables.
Below, we illustrate Laplace’s method by solving the initial value prob-
lem
y 0 = −1, y(0) = 0.
The method obtains a relation L(y(t)) = L(−t), whence Lerch’s cancel-
lation law implies the solution is y(t) = −t.
The Laplace method is advertised as a table lookup method, in which
the solution y(t) to a differential equation is found by looking up the
answer in a special integral table.
7.1 Introduction to the Laplace Method 247
R∞
Laplace Integral. The integral g(t)e−st dt is called the Laplace
0
integral of the function g(t). It is defined by limN →∞ 0N g(t)e−st dt and

248 Laplace Transform
In Lerch’s law, the formal rule of erasing the integral signs is valid pro-
vided the integrals are equal for large s and certain conditions hold on y
and f – see Theorem 2. The illustration in Table 2 shows that Laplace
theory requires an in-depth study of a special integral table, a table
which is a true extension of the usual table found on the inside covers
of calculus books. Some entries for the special integral table appear in
Table 1 and also in section 7.2, Table 4.
The L-notation for the direct Laplace transform produces briefer details,
as witnessed by the translation of Table 2 into Table 3 below. The reader
is advised to move from Laplace integral notation to the L–notation as
soon as possible, in order to clarify the ideas of the transform method.

## Some Transform Rules. The formal properties of calculus integrals
plus the integration by parts formula used in Tables 2 and 3 leads to these
rules for the Laplace transform:
L(f (t) + g(t)) = L(f (t)) + L(g(t)) The integral of a sum is the
sum of the integrals.
L(cf (t)) = cL(f (t)) Constants c pass through the
integral sign.
L(y 0 (t)) = sL(y(t)) − y(0) The t-derivative rule, or inte-
gration by parts. See Theo-
rem 3.

250 Laplace Transform
## Definition 1 (piecewise continuous)
A function f (t) is piecewise continuous on a finite interval [a, b] pro-
vided there exists a partition a = t0 < · · · < tn = b of the interval [a, b]
and functions f1 , f2 , . . . , fn continuous on (−∞, ∞) such that for t not
a partition point
## f1 (t) t0 < t < t1 ,
(4) f (t) = .. ..
. .
fn (t) tn−1 < t < tn .
## The values of f at partition points are undecided by equation (4). In
particular, equation (4) implies that f (t) has one-sided limits at each
point of a < t < b and appropriate one-sided limits at the endpoints.
Therefore, f has at worst a jump discontinuity at each partition point.
## 3 Example (Exponential order) Show that f (t) = et cos t + t is of expo-
nential order, that is, show that f (t) is piecewise continuous and find α > 0
such that limt→∞ f (t)/eαt = 0.
## Solution: Already, f (t) is continuous, hence piecewise continuous. From
L’Hospital’s rule in calculus, limt→∞ p(t)/eαt = 0 for any polynomial p and
any α > 0. Choose α = 2, then
f (t) cos t t

## Theorem 1 (Existence of L(f ))
Let f (t) be piecewise continuous on every finite interval in t ≥ 0 and satisfy
|f (t)| ≤ M eαt for some constants M and α. Then L(f (t)) exists for s > α
and lims→∞ L(f (t)) = 0.
Proof: It has to be shown that the Laplace integral of f is finite for s > α.
Advanced calculus implies that it is sufficient to show that the integrand is ab-
solutely bounded above by an integrable function g(t). Take g(t) = M e −(s−α)t .
Then g(t) ≥ 0. Furthermore, g is integrable, because

The limit statement follows from |L(f (t))| ≤ 0 g(t)dt = , because the

right side of this inequality has limit zero at s = ∞. The proof is complete.

## 7.2 Laplace Integral Table
The objective in developing a table of Laplace integrals, e.g., Tables 4
and 5, is to keep the table size small. Table manipulation rules appear-
ing in Table 6, page 257, effectively increase the table size manyfold,
making it possible to solve typical differential equations from electrical
and mechanical problems. The combination of Laplace tables plus the
table manipulation rules is called the Laplace transform calculus.
Table 4 is considered to be a table of minimum size to be memorized.
Table 5 adds a number of special-use entries. For instance, the Heaviside
entry in Table 5 is memorized, but usually not the others.
Derivations are postponed to page 270. The theory of the gamma func-
tion Γ(x) appears below on page 255.

7.2 Laplace Integral Table 255
## Solution: The representation originates from geometry, because the periodic
function f can be viewed as derived from ct/P by subtracting the correct con-
stant from each of intervals [P, 2P ], [2P, 3P ], etc.
The technique used to verify the identity is to define g(t) = ct/P − c floor(t/P )
and then show that g is P -periodic and f (t) = g(t) on 0 ≤ t < P . Two P -
periodic functions equal on the base interval 0 ≤ t < P have to be identical,
hence the representation follows.
The fine details: for 0 ≤ t < P , floor(t/P ) = 0 and floor(t/P + k) = k. Hence
g(t + kP ) = ct/P + ck − c floor(k) = ct/P = g(t), which implies that g is
P -periodic and g(t) = f (t) for 0 ≤ t < P .

## 7.4 Heaviside’s Method
This practical method was popularized by the English electrical engineer
Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925). A typical application of the method is to
solve
2s
= L(f (t))
(s + 1)(s2 + 1)
for the t-expression f (t) = −e−t + cos t + sin t. The details in Heaviside’s
method involve a sequence of easy-to-learn college algebra steps.
More precisely, Heaviside’s method systematically converts a polyno-
mial quotient
a0 + a1 s + · · · + an sn
(1)
b0 + b1 s + · · · + bm sm
into the form L(f (t)) for some expression f (t). It is assumed that
a0 , .., an , b0 , . . . , bm are constants and the polynomial quotient (1) has
limit zero at s = ∞.
## Partial Fraction Theory
In college algebra, it is shown that a rational function (1) can be ex-
pressed as the sum of terms of the form
A
(2)
(s − s0 )k
## where A is a real or complex constant and (s − s0 )k divides the denomi-
nator in (1). In particular, s0 is a root of the denominator in (1).
Assume fraction (1) has real coefficients. If s0 in (2) is real, then A is
real. If s0 = α + iβ in (2) is complex, then (s − s0 )k also appears, where
s0 = α − iβ is the complex conjugate of s0 . The corresponding terms
in (2) turn out to be complex conjugates of one another, which can be
combined in terms of real numbers B and C as
A A B+Cs
(3) + = .
(s − s0 )k (s − s0 )k ((s − α)2 + β 2 )k
Simple Roots. Assume that (1) has real coefficients and the denomi-
nator of the fraction (1) has distinct real roots s1 , . . . , sN and distinct
complex roots α1 + iβ1 , . . . , αM + iβM . The partial fraction expansion
of (1) is a sum given in terms of real constants Ap , Bq , Cq by
N M

7.4 Heaviside’s Method 265
Multiple Roots. Assume (1) has real coefficients and the denomi-
nator of the fraction (1) has possibly multiple roots. Let Np be the
multiplicity of real root sp and let Mq be the multiplicity of complex root
αq + iβq , 1 ≤ p ≤ N , 1 ≤ q ≤ M . The partial fraction expansion of (1)
is given in terms of real constants Ap,k , Bq,k , Cq,k by

## Heaviside’s Coverup Method
The method applies only to the case of distinct roots of the denominator
in (1). Extensions to multiple-root cases can be made; see page 266.
To illustrate Oliver Heaviside’s ideas, consider the problem details
2s + 1 A B C
(6) = + +
s(s − 1)(s + 1) s s−1 s+1
= L(A) + L(Bet ) + L(Ce−t )
## = L(A + Bet + Ce−t )
The first line (6) uses college algebra partial fractions. The second and
third lines use the Laplace integral table and properties of L.
## Heaviside’s mysterious method. Oliver Heaviside proposed to
1
find in (6) the constant C = 2 by a cover–up method:
2s + 1 C
= .
s(s − 1)
s+1 =0
## The instructions are to cover–up the matching factors (s + 1) on the left
and right with box , then evaluate on the left at the root s which
makes the contents of the box zero. The other terms on the right are
replaced by zero.
To justify Heaviside’s cover–up method, multiply (6) by the denominator
s + 1 of partial fraction C/(s + 1):
(2s + 1) (s + 1) A (s + 1) B (s + 1) C (s + 1)
= + + .
s(s − 1) (s + 1) s s−1 (s + 1)
## Set (s + 1) = 0 in the display. Cancellations left and right plus annihi-
lation of two terms on the right gives Heaviside’s prescription
2s + 1
= C.
s(s − 1) s+1=0
266 Laplace Transform
## The factor (s + 1) in (6) is by no means special: the same procedure
applies to find A and B. The method works for denominators with
simple roots, that is, no repeated roots are allowed.
## Extension to Multiple Roots. An extension of Heaviside’s method
is possible for the case of repeated roots. The basic idea is to factor–out
the repeats. To illustrate, consider the partial fraction expansion details
1
R= A sample rational function having
(s + 1)2 (s + 2)
repeated roots.
1 1
= Factor–out the repeats.
s + 1 (s + 1)(s + 2)

(s + 1) (s + 1)(s + 2)
1 −1 1
= + + Apply the cover–up method to the
(s + 1)2 s+1 s+2
last fraction on the right.
Terms with only one root in the denominator are already partial frac-
tions. Thus the work centers on expansion of quotients in which the
denominator has two or more roots.
## Special Methods. Heaviside’s method has a useful extension for the
case of roots of multiplicity two. To illustrate, consider these details:
1
R= A fraction with multiple roots.
(s + 1)2 (s + 2)
A B C
= + 2
+ See equation (5).
s + 1 (s + 1) s+2

up method.
−1 1 1
= + + Multiply by s+1. Set s = ∞. Then
s + 1 (s + 1)2 s + 2
0 = A + 1.
The illustration works for one root of multiplicity two, because s = ∞
In general, if the denominator in (1) has a root s0 of multiplicity k, then
the partial fraction expansion contains terms
A1 A2 Ak
+ + ··· + .
s − s0 (s − s0 )2 (s − s0 )k
Heaviside’s cover–up method directly finds Ak , but not A1 to Ak−1 .
7.5 Heaviside Step and Dirac Delta 267
## 7.5 Heaviside Step and Dirac Delta
Heaviside Function. The unit step function or Heaviside func-
tion is defined by
(
1 for x ≥ 0,
H(x) =
0 for x < 0.
## The most often–used formula involving the Heaviside function is the
characteristic function of the interval a ≤ t < b, given by
(
1 a ≤ t < b,
(1) H(t − a) − H(t − b) =
0 t < a, t ≥ b.
## To illustrate, a square wave sqw(t) = (−1)floor(t) can be written in the
series form
X
(−1)n (H(t − n) − H(t − n − 1)).
n=0
## Dirac Delta. A precise mathematical definition of the Dirac delta,
denoted δ, is not possible to give here. Following its inventor P. Dirac,
the definition should be
δ(t) = dH(t).
The latter is nonsensical, because the unit step does not have a cal-
culus derivative at t = 0. However, dH(t) could have the meaning of
a Riemann-Stieltjes integrator, which restrains dH(t) to have meaning
only under an integral sign. It is in this sense that the Dirac delta δ is
defined.
What do we mean by the differential equation
## The equation x00 + 16x = f (t) represents a spring-mass system without
damping having Hooke’s constant 16, subject to external force f (t). In
a mechanical context, the Dirac delta term 5δ(t − t0 ) is an idealization
of a hammer-hit at time t = t0 > 0 with impulse 5.
More precisely, the forcing term f (t) can be formally written as a Riemann-
Stieltjes integrator 5dH(t−t0 ) where H is Heaviside’s unit step function.
The Dirac delta or “derivative of the Heaviside unit step,” nonsensical
as it may appear, is realized in applications via the two-sided or central
difference quotient
H(t + h) − H(t − h)
≈ dH(t).
2h
268 Laplace Transform
Therefore, the force f (t) in the idealization 5δ(t − t0 ) is given for h > 0
very small by the approximation
H(t − t0 + h) − H(t − t0 − h)
f (t) ≈ 5 .
2h
The impulse2 of the approximated force over a large interval [a, b] is
computed from
Z b Z h H(t − t0 + h) − H(t − t0 − h)
f (t)dt ≈ 5 dt = 5,
a −h 2h
## Modeling Impulses. One argument for the Dirac delta idealization
is that an infinity of choices exist for modeling an impulse. There are in
addition to the central difference quotient two other popular difference
quotients, the forward quotient (H(t + h) − H(t))/h and the backward
quotient (H(t) − H(t − h))/h (h > 0 assumed). In reality, h is unknown
in any application, and the impulsive force of a hammer hit is hardly
constant, as is supposed by this naive modeling.
The modeling logic often applied for the Dirac delta is that the external
force f (t) is used in the model in a limited manner, in which only the
momentum p = mv is important. More precisely, only the change in
momentum or impulse is important, ab f (t)dt = ∆p = mv(b) − mv(a).
R
## The precise force f (t) is replaced during the modeling by a simplistic
piecewise-defined force that has exactly the same impulse ∆p. The re-
placement is justified by arguing that if only the impulse is important,
and not the actual details of the force, then both models should give
similar results.
Function or Operator? The work of physics Nobel prize winner P.
Dirac (1902–1984) proceeded for about 20 years before the mathematical
community developed a sound mathematical theory for his impulsive
force representations. A systematic theory was developed in 1936 by
the soviet mathematician S. Sobolev. The French mathematician L.
Schwartz further developed the theory in 1945. He observed that the
idealization is not a function but an operator or linear functional, in
particular, δ maps or associates to each function φ(t) its value at t = 0, in
short, δ(φ) = φ(0). This fact was observed early on by Dirac and others,
during the replacement of simplistic forces by δ. In Laplace theory, there
is a natural encounter with the ideas, because L(f (t)) routinely appears
on the right of the equation after transformation. This term, in the case
2
Momentum is defined to be mass times velocity. RIf the force f is given by Newton’s
d b
law as f (t) = dt (mv(t)) and v(t) is velocity, then a f (t)dt = mv(b) − mv(a) is the
net momentum or impulse.
7.5 Heaviside Step and Dirac Delta 269
## of an impulsive force f (t) = c(H(t−t0 −h)−H(t−t0 +h))/(2h), evaluates
for t0 > 0 and t0 − h > 0 as follows:
Z ∞c
L(f (t)) = (H(t − t0 − h) − H(t − t0 + h))e−st dt
0 2h
Z t0 +h
c −st
= e dt
t0 −h 2h
!
esh − e−sh
= ce−st0
2sh
esh − e−sh
The factor is approximately 1 for h > 0 small, because of
2sh
L’Hospital’s rule. The immediate conclusion is that we should replace
the impulsive force f by an equivalent one f ∗ such that
## Well, there is no such function f ∗ !
The apparent mathematical flaw in this idea was resolved by the work
of L. Schwartz on distributions. In short, there is a solid foundation
for introducing f ∗ , but unfortunately the mathematics involved is not
elementary nor especially accessible to those readers whose background
is just calculus.
Practising engineers and scientists might be able to ignore the vast lit-
erature on distributions, citing the example of physicist P. Dirac, who
succeeded in applying impulsive force ideas without the distribution the-
ory developed by S. Sobolev and L. Schwartz. This will not be the case
for those who wish to read current literature on partial differential equa-
tions, because the work on distributions has forever changed the required
background for that topic.

The first step is to evaluate L(tn ) for n = 0.

This idea can be repeated to give L(t2 ) = − ds L(t) and hence L(t2 ) = 2/s3 .
n d n−1
The pattern is L(t ) = − ds L(t ) which gives L(tn ) = n!/s1+n .

Use will be made of Euler’s formula eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ, usually first introduced
in trigonometry. In this formula, θ is a real number (in radians) and i = −1

## • Proof of the Dirac delta formula L(δ(t − a)) = e−as .
The definition of the delta function is a formal one, in which every occurrence of
δ(t − a)dt under an integrand is replaced by dH(t − a). The differential symbol
dH(t − a) is taken in the sense of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. This integral
is defined in [?] for monotonic integrators α(x) as the limit

mesh approaches zero as N → ∞.
The steps in computing the Laplace integral of the delta function appear below.
Admittedly, the proof requires advanced calculus skills and a certain level of
mathematical maturity. The reward is a fuller understanding of the Dirac
symbol δ(x).

## where 0 = t0 < t1 < · · · < tN = M is a partition of [0, M ] whose mesh
max1≤n≤N (tn − tn−1 ) approaches zero as N → ∞. Given a partition, if tn−1 <
a ≤ tn , then H(tn −a)−H(tn−1 −a) = 1, otherwise this factor is zero. Therefore,
the sum reduces to a single term e−stn . This term approaches e−sa as N → ∞,
because tn must approach a.
−as
• Proof of L(floor(t/a)) = s(1 e− e−as ) :
The library function floor present in computer languages C and Fortran is
defined by floor(x) = greatest whole integer ≤ x, e.g., floor(5.2) = 5 and
floor(−1.9) = −2. The computation of the Laplace integral of floor(t) requires
ideas from infinite series, as follows.

7.7 Transform Properties 275
## 7.7 Transform Properties
Collected here are the major theorems and their proofs for the manipu-
lation of Laplace transform tables.
Theorem 4 (Linearity)
The Laplace transform has these inherited integral properties:
## (a) L(f (t) + g(t)) = L(f (t)) + L(g(t)),
(b) L(cf (t)) = cL(f (t)).
## Theorem 5 (The t-Derivative Rule)
Let y(t) be continuous, of exponential order and let f 0 (t) be piecewise
continuous on t ≥ 0. Then L(y 0 (t)) exists and
L(y 0 (t)) = sL(y(t)) − y(0).
## Theorem 6 (The t-Integral Rule)
Let g(t) be of exponential order and continuous for t ≥ 0. Then
R
t
1
L 0 g(x) dx = L(g(t)).
s
Theorem 7 (The s-Differentiation Rule)
Let f (t) be of exponential order. Then
d
L(tf (t)) = − L(f (t)).
ds
Theorem 8 (First Shifting Rule)
Let f (t) be of exponential order and −∞ < a < ∞. Then
L(eat f (t)) = L(f (t))|s→(s−a) .
## Theorem 9 (Second Shifting Rule)
Let f (t) and g(t) be of exponential order and assume a ≥ 0. Then
## (a) L(f (t − a)H(t − a)) = e−as L(f (t)),
(b) L(g(t)H(t − a)) = e−as L(g(t + a)).
## Theorem 10 (Periodic Function Rule)
Let f (t) be of exponential order and satisfy f (t + P ) = f (t). Then
RP
0 f (t)e−st dt
L(f (t)) = .
1 − e−P s

R∞

R∞

## Proof of Theorem 5 (t-derivative rule): Already L(f (t)) exists, because
f is of exponential order and continuous. On an interval [a, b] where f 0 is
continuous, integration by parts using u = e−st , dv = f 0 (t)dt gives
Rb t=b Rb
a f 0 (t)e−st dt = f (t)e−st |t=a −f (t)(−s)e−st dt
a
Rb
= −f (a)e−sa + f (b)e−sb + s a f (t)e−st dt.
On any interval [0, N ], there are finitely many intervals [a, b] on each of which
f 0 is continuous. Add the above equality across these finitely many intervals
[a, b]. The boundary values on adjacent intervals match and the integrals add
to give
Z N Z N
f 0 (t)e−st dt = −f (0)e0 + f (N )e−sN + s f (t)e−st dt.
0 0
Take the limit across this equality as N → ∞. Then the right side has limit
−f (0) + sL(f (t)), because of the existence of L(f (t)) and limt→∞ f (t)e−st = 0
for large s. Therefore, the left side has a limit, and by definition L(f 0 (t)) exists
and L(f 0 (t)) = −f (0) + sL(f (t)).
Rt
Proof of Theorem 6 (t-Integral rule): Let f (t) = 0 g(x)dx. Then f is of
exponential order and continuous. The details:
Rt
L( 0 g(x)dx) = L(f (t)) By definition.
1
= L(f 0 (t)) Because f (0) = 0 implies L(f 0 (t)) = sL(f (t)).
s
1
= L(g(t)) Because f 0 = g by the Fundamental theorem of
s
calculus.
## Proof of Theorem 7 (s-differentiation): We prove the equivalent relation
L((−t)f (t)) = (d/ds)L(f (t)). If f is of exponential order, then so is (−t)f (t),
therefore L((−t)f (t)) exists. It remains to show the s-derivative exists and
satisfies the given equality.
The proof below is based in part upon the calculus inequality
e + x − 1 ≤ x2 , x ≥ 0.
−x
(1)
7.7 Transform Properties 277
The inequality is obtained from two applications of the mean value theorem
g(b)−g(a) = g 0 (x)(b−a), which gives e−x +x−1 = xxe−x1 with 0 ≤ x1 ≤ x ≤ x.
In addition, the existence of L(t2 |f (t)|) is used to define s0 > 0 such that
L(t2 |f (t)|) ≤ 1 for s > s0 . This follows from the transform existence theorem
for functions of exponential order, where it is shown that the transform has
limit zero at s = ∞.
Consider h 6= 0 and the Newton quotient Q(s, h) = (F (s + h) − F (s))/h for the
s-derivative of the Laplace integral. We have to show that
## lim |Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t))| = 0.
h→0
This will be accomplished by proving for s > s0 and s + h > s0 the inequality
## |Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t))| ≤ |h|.
For h 6= 0,
e−st−ht − e−st + the−st
Z
Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t)) = f (t) dt.
0 h
Assume h > 0. Due to the exponential rule eA+B = eA eB , the quotient in the
integrand simplifies to give
Z ∞ −ht
−st e + th − 1
Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t)) = f (t)e dt.
0 h
## Inequality (1) applies with x = ht ≥ 0, giving
Z ∞
|Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t))| ≤ |h| t2 |f (t)|e−st dt.
0
The right side is |h|L(t2 |f (t)|), which for s > s0 is bounded by |h|, completing
the proof for h > 0. If h < 0, then a similar calculation is made to obtain
Z ∞
|Q(s, h) − L((−t)f (t))| ≤ |h| t2 |f (t)e−st−ht dt.
0
## The right side is |h|L(t2 |f (t)|) evaluated at s + h instead of s. If s + h > s0 ,
then the right side is bounded by |h|, completing the proof for h < 0.
Proof of Theorem 8 (first shifting rule): The left side LHS of the equality
can be written because of the exponential rule eA eB = eA+B as
Z ∞
LHS = f (t)e−(s−a)t dt.
0
This integral is L(f (t)) with s replaced by s − a, which is precisely the meaning
of the right side RHS of the equality. Therefore, LHS = RHS.
Proof of Theorem 9 (second shifting rule): The details for (a) are

Left unmentioned here is the convergence of the infinite series on line 3 of the
proof, which follows from f of exponential order.
## Proof of Theorem 11 (convolution rule): The details use Fubini’s in-
tegration interchange theorem for a planar unbounded region, and therefore
this proof involves advanced calculus methods that may be outside the back-
ground of the reader. Modern calculus texts contain a less general version of
Fubini’s theorem for finite regions, usually referenced as iterated integrals. The
unbounded planar region is written in two ways:
## D = {(r, t) : t ≤ r < ∞, 0 ≤ t < ∞},
D = {(r, t) : 0 ≤ r < ∞, 0 ≤ r ≤ t}.
## Readers should pause here and verify that D = D.

280 Laplace Transform
## 7.8 More on the Laplace Transform
Model conversion and engineering. A differential equation model
for a physical system can be subjected to the Laplace transform in order
to produce an algebraic model in the transform variable s. Lerch’s the-
orem says that both models are equivalent, that is, the solution of one
model gives the solution to the other model.
In electrical and computer engineering it is commonplace to deal only
with the Laplace algebraic model. Engineers are in fact capable of hav-
ing hour-long modeling conversations, during which differential equations
are never referenced! Terminology for such modeling is necessarily spe-
cialized, which gives rise to new contextual meanings to the terms input
and output. For example, an RLC-circuit would be discussed with input
ω
F (s) = ,
s2 + ω2
and the listener must know that this expression is the Laplace transform
of the t-expression sin ωt. Hence the RLC-circuit is driven by a sinu-
soindal input of natural frequency ω. During the modeling discourse, it
could be that the output is
1 10ω
X(s) = + 2 .
s + 1 s + ω2
Lerch’s equivalence says that X(s) is the Laplace transform of e−t +
10 sin ωt, but that is extra work, if all that is needed from the model is a | 20,926 | 55,397 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.03125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | latest | en | 0.806491 |

Not meant to offend anyone that actually likes Bush ;)
Feel free to post anti Kerry stuff too :):)
I have a moral question for you.
This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun to decide what one would do.
If you were to stumble across George Bush struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you had a choice of rescuing him or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the death of a President.....
What shutter speed would you use? :wink:

Axis of Evil Wannabees
by John Cleese
Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil",Libya, China and Syria today announced that they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil", which they said would be "more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis" President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.
Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new Axis as having, "for starters, a really dumb name". "Right. As if they are just as evil ... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
"Everybody knows we're the best evils? eh evilest? that we're the best."
Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, Although they conceded they had asked if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"An axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."
geopolitical chairs.
While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Norguay denied the charges. Norguays king Harald can't understand the rejection "I filled out the application myself", he says.

If we're posting jokes....
so, three spies, one russian, one british, and one from the u.s. are walking through the woods. the russian one catches a rabbit, and says "hey guys, let's have a contest: we'll release the rabbit into the woods and see how long it takes each of us to find it." so, they release the rabbit, and the british and u.s. agents wait for a while until, 30 minutes later, the russian agent returns with the rabbit. "i can beat that," says the british agent. they release the rabbit again, and the russian and u.s. agents wait for about 20 minutes before the british one returns with the rabbit. "i can totally beat both you guys" says the u.s. spy. so they release the rabbit, and the russian and british agents stand there waiting for 30 minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, until they decide that maybe their friend is lost and they should search for him. so they search the forest for a little while until finally they come across the u.s. agent, smacking a deer in the head and yelling "admit you're the rabbit! admit you're the rabbit!"

"Then the Army Corps of Engineers demanded a map of the proposed new flood plan. I sent them a globe. Right now, I am trying to resolve a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that I am practicing discrimination by not taking godless, unbelieving people aboard! The IRS has seized my assets, claiming that I'm building the Ark in preparation to flee the country to avoid paying taxes."
"I just got a notice from the state that I owe them some kind of user tax and failed to register the Ark as a "recreational water craft."
"Finally, the ACLU got the courts to issue an injunction against further construction of the Ark, saying that since God is flooding the earth, it is a religious event and therefore, unconstitutional. I really don't think I can finish the Ark for another 5 or 6 years!" Noah wailed.
The sky began to clear, the sun began to shine and the seas began to calm. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up hopefully. "You mean you are not going to destroy the earth, Lord?" "No," said the Lord sadly. "I don't have to. The government already has."

This isnt political and its not truly funny but since politics go hand and hand with alcohol- thought this might be approiate lol
ARIES Drinking style
Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don't know when to call it a night. Their competitive streak makes them prone to closing-time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty after a couple tipples. Getting Aries people drunk is a good way to get what you want out of them, should other methods fail. Aries can become bellicose when blotto, but they will assume that whatever happened should be forgiven (if not forgotten) by sunrise. They can be counted on to do the same for you so long as you haven't gone and done anything really horrible to them last night, you sneaky Gemini.
TAURUS Drinking style
GEMINI Drinking style
Geminis can drink without changing their behavior much -- they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something to belie an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Geminis possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and infuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round -- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement.
CANCER Drinking style
LEO Drinking style
VIRGO Drinking style
Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure -- but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and urprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the subgenius IQ!
LIBRA Drinking style
"I'm jusht a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?" Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are, Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get them into all sorts of trouble -- including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with their best friend's beau or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!
SCORPIO Drinking style
SAGITTARIUS Drinking style
In vino veritas -- and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playground, or Cancun. Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call).
CAPRICORN Drinking style
AQUARIUS Drinking style
Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well (except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too preoccupied with their duties to get combative -- and they make perfectly charming drunks in that case. Fortunately, they're usually capital drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can get them before they start raising their wrist): Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober.
PISCES Drinking style

null | null | null | null | null | null | I'm starting to face the fact that I have tinnitus. So far, it's proven to be a pretty mild case-- I only notice the ringing during near-silence-- but I decided it would be a good idea to take some precautions to avoid further damage. I bought several pairs of ear plugs (at the ridiculous price of $15/pair) that claim to "evenly distribute the dampening of sound across the frequency spectrum." I even schedule silence breaks to give my throbbing eardrums a proper rest. One good thing has come out of this, though: the police have stopped coming to my house about noise complaints.
I've been anticipating the latest full-length from the Iceland born-and-bred trio Stilluppsteypa since last year's subtly melodic EP, Not a Laughing Matter, but Rather a Matter of Laughs. When I received Stories Part Five-- recently released on Mille Plateaux's Ritornell imprint-- I experienced quite a scare: I feared my condition had dramatically worsened. The tremolo clicks and phase drones of the opening track, "Nice Things to File Away FOREVER!," caught me off-guard. While not quite as discomforting as my aural ailment, the song's electronics are sublimated to the point that the sound coming from the speakers approaches ubiquity (not unlike tinnitus). "Nice Things" approaches ten minutes as collapsing raygun pulses and discordant static buzz at high pitches, yet synthesis is never blatant.
As the record drones on, a pattern emerges: minimalist glitch tendencies with glimpses of beat-keeping allow the synth's atmospheric delay lines to seep through to the fore. Stilluppsteypa avoid the contemporary construct of "intelligence" in electronic music by keeping their organic explorations to the role of sound itself. Melody feels incidental, but hardly contrived; percussion is sparse and precise, but strangely warm, even in its digital synthesis. Static hums are prevalent, but they function as integral rather than ornamental. And though it resembles a rusted metal shed, there's a purveyed ambiance here that's as intriguing as it is unsettling. It's often headache-inducing, too, if listened to for extended periods of time.
Steady rhythmic patterns are only present on half of these twelve tracks, but when they are, they permeate unchanged. Of course, the patterns used are anything but conventional. "Love Brother (of the Parent's House)" pulses and clicks in a bumbling 9/8 time, and the brief set closer, "We Sure Could Do With Some Help," is something like an odd samba, which is a bizarre considering that the rest of the album is almost completely undanceable. "All Drummers Shiver" locks into a filtered, high-speed gallop-- accompanied by swells of drone and hiss-- which fades into the dirty squeaks of "Some Help."
With Stories Part Five, Stilluppsteypa have created an organic aural space from the inorganic. They play the studio like an instrument, trading in notes and structure for circularity, clicks, and drones that surge with a deranged sense of life. In fact, I was listening to the album outside while taking a noonday stroll and was overcome with a strange sense of deconstruction in the natural environment. And this would be Stilluppsteypa's gimmick if all groups had to have one: they seem to invert the natural and the inorganic.

I know that formal definitions of the variance covariance matrix has been given elsewhere. However I am not a mathematician and it was very difficult for me to follow them. Thus, I'll make a few short questions to try and clarify. Please answer in the most visual/less formula based as possible (I understand that a bit of formulas may be necessary, but please keep it low).
I think that, ideally, the residuals of an OLS linear regression should be a random variable, with mean zero, not showing autocorrelation, or correlation with any of the variables involved in the regression.
I heard that this means that when express the error as a matrix, it should look like:
var(x1) cov(x1,x2) cov(x1,x3)
cov(x2,x1) var(x2) cov(x2,x3)
cov(x3,x1) cov(xe,x2) var(x3)
Now, if the residuals are independent after the OLS regression, the matrix should look like:
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1
So, first: Am I right in what I just wrote?
Second: Why a diagonal matrix with units in the diagonal is expected when residuals are independent?
Third: How can a variance be calculated for a single observation? I have seen a previous formal answer for it (that one needs to imagine that numbers in the diagonal could take other values). I still cannot understand that. The variance is normally calculated for a variable, but here we are talking of one single observation. shouldn't it be called something else? besides, if I apply the variance formula (number-mean)*(number-mean) it does not need to take value one. So, why units in the diagonal?
Third, why the off diagonal positions in the matrix should be zero? It seems one can simulate a random error variable, and take any two observations situated off diagonal and obtain with them non zero covariance. For example imagine i get x1=-3 and x2 = 5 as part of a random vector representing the error after an OLS (with mean 0, as expected). Then, (eg. cov(x1, x2)=(-3-0)*(5-0)=-15?? that is far from zero.

Blood as Bear bites tongue badly
It happened so fast I barely turned my head and it was done. She was wriggling forward on a fold-out chair, not minxing, just moving to the edge to get down, when it unbalanced- slammed - forward, her mouth hit the edge of the table, her head flew back and she fell underneath onto the paving.
She cried hard, in wave after wave, for a long time. Blood streamed out of her mouth, reminding me of the rivers of blood when I once bit through my own tongue, slamdancing to Lithium in the Sari Club back in the old days in Bali. My shirt was bright pink. I swapped her to the other side so she wouldn't see it, I held her for a long time, swaying, trying to say soothing stuff, failing.
I plopped her on the couch, she sobbed and sobbed there until, exhausted and shell-shocked, she fell asleep. We didn't have any kids' painkiller. Parents, simple lesson, always carry some baby Panadol or Nurofen when you travel. I walked with one of our nice hosts down to the nearest Chemist. It was closed. He drove me to another, where I nearly bought the older kids version before learning that Baby Panadol is more potent. Went for potent.
Beloved administered a generous dose to a rewoken Bear, who was sobbing again. Then we had to go to a wedding and leave Bear and Mitts with our trusted friends. I felt a bit sick.
The friends were wonderful, and soon after we left Bear calmed, perhaps helped by the drugs. She sat up past bedtime watching Monsters Inc, whatever that is, then announced when she was ready that she'd like to go to bed. I meanwhile spent the whole wedding telling people how I was the kind of dad who sits next to his daughter but fails to grab her in time as she falls off chairs and sustains bloody injuries.
There is still a big flap loose on her tongue. The nurse at Royal Children's said it's fine. But every time I think about it I feel a little queasy.

You have my commiserations. It happened once to a little boy at the birthday party of my then three year old daughter. Blood streamed. An accident in the garden but I was devastated. I rang his parents. His father an orthopedic surgeon was blase. 'Tongues heal fast,' he said.
I was surprised, quite apart from the damage, what of the trauma. Mind you, the little boy seemed to recover very quickly.
There's a wonderful quote I once read in one of AS Byatt's books, about the devastation of the first wound on a baby's skin.
Bear is clearly not an infant but childhood accidents are devastating and that you couldn't prevent it is frightening.
But you have to go easy on yourself here. Life's small accidents are inevitable. It's the mopping up afterward that helps most of all and it sounds as though you both did a wonderful job.
Penthe said...
Oh, how frightening and horrible. I remember when the Noodle smacked his face on the edge of the bed, blood everywhere from his lip. We rushed him to the doctor, who wiped the blood off, handed him to the nurse who ceremoniously put a tiny, tiny, tiny butterfly bandaid on the spot.
They were very kind to us frantic, blood-covered, anxious parents.
JahTeh said...
You have a time ahead of you as boys are more accident prone than girls but then I only had boys.
There's nothing like screaming to A&E with a child who's just pierced his scrotum with a toy submarine and yes, I did tell him to stop jumping around and get out of the bath.
Armagnac Daddy said...
"Bear is clearly not an infant "
Ah she's still well shy of 3, and still my little baby.... but thanks all! She's fine now it seems, demanding to eat all sorts of things again.

You did a great job. It's scary how stuff like this happens in a second even when we're right there next to them. My daughter fell from a swing once, slid through the harness, and bit her tongue very very badly, and I was minding her. It does heal very fast, fortunately. Seeing blood is just awful, but we do manage. She's now older and I'm so grateful we're over those early accidents, and when I look back it's amazing how we do it all. You're right about baby Panadol - crucial to have a supply in your bag, and we used to always carry a first-aid kit with us too. It's great your little girl's better now. | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
null | null | null | null | null | null | Sharon Stone: It's easy to blame Arnold for affair
Sharon Stone Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone thinks it is ''easy'' to only blame Arnold Schwarzenegger for his affair.
The 'Lovelace' actress is good friends with the action movie icon, and feels he cannot be solely held responsible after he had an affair - and fathered love child Joseph, 15 - with their housekeeper Mildred Baena while still with his ex-wife Maria Shriver.
She said: ''Whatever happened in their [Arnold and Maria's] home was happening with both of them. It's a terrible thing - and it's easy to say 'Oh, it's just something that he did', but this took place in their home, over a decade. It happened with both of them.''
Despite this, Sharon did reveal she was ''disappointed'' with the revelation of the 'Last Stand' star's affair.
Talking to the Sunday Times newspaper's Style magazine, She continued: ''I have a very frank relationship with Arnold. Was I disappointed? Who wasn't? Nobody is excited when people betray themselves and their families. No one goes, 'Yay, good for you.' ''
Despite their failed romance, Arnold recently spoke of the ''wonderful relationship'' he has with Maria as they work together to raise their family despite their separation.
He said: ''Under the circumstances, living in divorce, I have a wonderful relationship with my wife. There are no fights, we talk all the time on the phone and we raise the kids together.
''We are responsible parents and we know the only way it works is if both of us work together and that is working really well.''

Queen of the Realm
Written by WarriorJudge
Part 6
Athena opened the wooden shades in her mother's hut and allowed sunlight to pour in. Queen Gabrielle let out a soft sigh and stirred in bed to face away from the windows. Athena seated herself next to her slumbering mother and gently stroked her hair.
"It is time to get up, mother," she spoke softly.
Queen Gabrielle's eyes opened slowly. With a gross lack of enthusiasm, she lifted herself up to a sitting position.
"Morning came too soon," Queen Gabrielle muttered.
"You will see better days," Athena promised, "And if I may say so…"
"Of course you may," said the Queen.
"Since you are already here, you might as well make the best of it. Submerge yourself in what it was that made you wish to stay here," Athena advised. "That is what I did when I attended the Roman Academy and missed home."
"Thank you, Athena," the Queen said as she was getting out of bed.
"What for?"
Queen Gabrielle did not answer. She only smiled.
"I shall leave you to get dressed then," Athena said and vacated the hut.
As soon as she set foot outside her hut, Queen Gabrielle spotted Queen Melosa and the Shamaness making their way over.
"Queen Melosa, Shamaness Smyrna" Queen Gabrielle greeted.
"Majesty," both women returned the courtesy.
"I have decided to remain here and accept the right of cast," Queen Gabrielle forced a smile on her face even though she was deeply overwrought with sadness.
"Good news," exclaimed Queen Melosa, genuinely delighted. "Would you and the Lord Conqueror care to join us for breakfast?"
"Thank you for your kind invitation, however, my Lord left for Corinth last night, and will summon the governors of all three provinces around Amazon territory for inquiry," Queen Gabrielle said and managed only just to speak with an even tone of voice.
"To be summoned to appear before the Lord Conqueror for inquiry under these circumstances…" Queen Melosa muttered and shook her shoulders like the very idea gave her shivers all over. She trusted the Throne in Corinth to get to the bottom of these recent events.
"You and her Grace, then," suggested the Shamaness.
Queen Gabrielle looked around in search for her daughter, but Princess Athena was nowhere to be found. "I believe her Grace has gone for her usual morning ride, and alas I am not hungry." Truth was, she wasn't simply 'not hungry' but rather completely lost her appetite after her Lord had left.
"Perhaps you care to come with me to my hut so that I may begin preparing you?" asked the Shamaness.
"I would be delighted," answered Queen Gabrielle.
In the Shamaness' hut, Queen Gabrielle's eyes curiously reviewed all the shelves loaded with various herbs and peculiar array of icons. Not much sunlight managed to sneak in. The Shamaness proceeded to light up a few candles, and then sat on a pile of aromatic hides on the ground at the center of the hut and gestured an invitation for the Queen to join her.
The Shamaness threw a few herbs into an iron bowl and lit it on fire. As the herbs burned slowly away, a white smoke permeated the small hut along with a pleasant, soothing sweet odor.
Queen Gabrielle sat down cross-legged opposite the Shamaness.
"Majesty," the Shamaness began to say, somewhat hesitantly, "For you to be ushered into the Amazon nation as a future leader, we must cleanse your spirit and prepare you."
"Cleanse my spirit?" Queen Gabrielle wasn't sure what that meant.
"As we walk through life we accumulate experiences, some are good, some are bad. Our life experiences affect our spirit. While good ones uplift and delight us, the bad ones damage us and infest inside us," the Shamaness explained and began to brew another concoction over the fire.
As the Queen watched the Shamaness' hands toiling over the fire, she hurried to say, "I'm in peace and very well-contented, so really there is no need for my spirit to be cleansed."
"Majesty, I bear you great respect. Trust cannot be easily rendered for one of your station, for obvious reasons. You must feel that you should be careful not to place trust in me, even though trusting is inherently in your kind and generous nature," the older Shamaness spoke softly.
The Queen gazed pensively at the white smoke and offered no reply. The Shamaness words evoked odd feelings of regret, but the reason for it eluded her.
"I give you my word," the Shamaness went on to say, "that all that takes place within these walls shall remain here. I will guard your secrets, Majesty, and I will do all that I can to gain your Majesty's trust."
The Queen nodded in silence. The Shamaness spoke to her like no other had spoken to her for many years. Her mind drifted to thoughts about the late Princess Lao-ling and she suddenly was overwhelmed by how much she missed her.
When the brew was ready, the Shamaness took it off the fire and poured some into a cup. She handed the steaming cup to the Queen. "It would calm you, Majesty, nothing more," she promised.
The Queen took the cup and sipped from it just once before she discarded the cup on the ground.
"Some of our old memories are buried inside us. The worse they are the deeper we bury them, but they are never really gone. They become like an invisible ball and chain around your ankle… Something that lies heavy on you and weighs you down with you not being able to see or understand… be aware of it."
Queen Gabrielle couldn't help but wonder how much of her past the Shamaness was aware of. On an instinct, she made her features appear even blanker than before.
"Is there anything that is troubling you, Majesty?" the Shamaness asked.
The Queen looked down at her hands clasped together in her lap. She felt a pinch in her heart and saw a flash of her Lord's face in her mind's eye. "That I might not measure up… that I might not prove fit to be an Amazon Queen," she replied after some time had elapsed.
The Shamaness smiled. "You are an extraordinary woman, Majesty. You proved as much when you placed yourself in mortal danger for a young woman you'd never met before. You are the Queen of the Realm and you care for your subjects. I have no doubt in my mind that one day you'll become one of this nation's greatest leaders." She then paused for a few moments and carefully studied the woman who sat opposite her. "Perhaps in time, as this process progresses, you will trust me enough to reveal what's really in your heart, Majesty," she said knowingly.
Queen Gabrielle did not protest for she knew it would be an insult to the Shamaness.
"Very good," the Shamaness finally said. "With your approval, Majesty, I should very much like to meet with you again tomorrow at dusk. It would be best to take advantage of daylight for military training and the darkness for the exploration of the soul. Secrets make themselves more available in the veil of night."
The Queen stood up. "Thank you, Shamaness," she said, feeling uncomfortable that she hadn't been forthcoming with the Shamaness and grossly refrained from cooperating with her. Fact was she desperately needed someone to confide in even though she had hardly ever done so in the past. So much had been lying heavily on her, and she sought some relief. There was only so much she could say to Athena, and besides, a child should never be put between her parents. The Shamaness was older and wiser and had she not been a complete stranger, would have been otherwise perfect for the task.
"Will I see you tomorrow then?" the Shamaness asked and stood facing the Queen.
"Tomorrow," the Queen confirmed with a nod of her head and left for the training field.
On the drilling field, Queen Gabrielle welcomed Mysia's arduous training regime and was thankful for it. She hoped that when it was time to retire for the night, the time of the day that she had grown to dread, she'd be too exhausted to think and would succumb to blissfully oblivious sleep quickly enough.
It seemed to Queen Gabrielle that wherever she went, Princess Athena was close at the vicinity. She could feel her Lord's long reach over her for there was no doubt in her mind that before her Lord had left she had instructed the Princess to watch over and protect her.
After bathing, the Queen elected to forgo supper and retired for the night. In the privacy of her hut, she laid her fatigued body atop the large bed and reached over to the empty side next to her. She slid her fingers against the cool linens, and looked at the moonlight reflecting back from the green diamond ring that the Conqueror had given her in Thira soon after professing her love for her. She buried her face into the pillow that had supported the Conqueror's head in an attempt to inhale and absorb any remnants of her unique fragrance. She was in luck. She closed her eyes and pictured her Lord lying next to her. She pushed away any straying thoughts about their brawl and simply imagined herself cuddling against her lover's bodily nook. That would become her nightly ritual.
The next day, bright and early, Princess Athena found her mother sleeping in bed still. Once again she opened the shades, but the Queen refused to open her eyes.
"Mother," she whispered gently.
When no reply came, she pulled off the covers from her mother's body, deliberately exposing it to the morning chill.
The Queen's eyes opened just barely. She was as exhausted as she had been before the night’s sleep.
"You look tired," Athena pointed out and helped her mother to a sitting position.
"I didn't get a good night’s sleep," the Queen replied apathetically. She didn't wish to alarm her daughter.
"You'll feel much better after you've eaten something," Athena said and turned around so that her mother could dress.
"I'm not hungry. I best be on my way to the training field. I have kept Mysia waiting long enough. I'm confident that after the exerting exercises I shall develop a healthy appetite."
But she didn't. Queen Gabrielle skipped eating completely that day as well, and soon after dark she entered the Shamaness' hut. She had only one desire, to be back in her hut, in her bed imagining her Lord was there with her.
She even considered taking a horse and riding to Corinth, but the great paradox of her existence in those days was that she missed her Lord but wasn’t ready to face her yet. She wanted to be in Corinth but felt what she wished to achieve with the Amazons wasn't yet obtained.
That visit with the Shamaness wasn’t any different from the one she had had the previous day.
She answered briefly to the Shamaness' guiding questions and didn't volunteer any information of her own. She evaded any personal questions and provided detached, almost diplomatic answers in reply.
Once more, after closing the door behind her soon after returning to her sanctuary, she collapsed on top of the bed, closed her eyes and was back in her Lord's phantom arms.
The next day was exactly the same as the previous two. Mysia, the Amazon warrior entrusted with the Queen’s military training, could no longer ignore the lack of concentration and the lack of strength which the Queen couldn’t help but exhibiting on the drilling field.
“Majesty, may I ask… are you feeling well?” she asked.
“I am. Why do you ask?”
“When we first started training, your Majesty seemed eager and focused. For the past days your Majesty seems… and please, forgive me for saying this, but you seem distracted and handle the staff as if it is too heavy for you to even hold, let alone wield.”
“I will try and do better,” the Queen shrugged it off.
On the fourth day, again, to the Queen morning came in a blink of an eye. A diminished, unconvincing sun hit her eyelids, but the Queen's body felt too heavy.
Princess Athena had to wake her up again, only this time she sounded concerned.
"When was the last time you've eaten?" she demanded to know, and Queen Gabrielle couldn't help but notice how much like the Conqueror her daughter sounded, and it made her lethargic heart miss a beat.
"I don't recall," the Queen felt almost too weak to speak, like uttering words was a labor that required an effort. She just sat atop the bed and tried to essentially put off standing up and getting out of her nightgown and into her attire.
"You don’t recall!?" Athena was too worried to be gentle and mindful of her mother's pain."Last time I've seen you put something in your mouth was when the Conqueror was still here! That was a little over three days ago!"
"I will eat when I’m hungry," the Queen said and forced a smile on her lips.
But Athena saw right through it. She knew her mother well enough to know that when the Queen smiled her eyes would light up. That morning, like in all recent mornings, her eyes were extinguished, bloodshot and there were black circles around them.
Upon seeing that her daughter wasn't fooled, the Queen dropped her shoulders down and asked nearly indistinctly, "Do you know what the happiest moments of my days are?"
Athena shook her head.
"These moments when one just wakes up and is still not aware of what time it is, or where she is… these are the happiest moments of my days because at these moments I am not yet aware that my Lord has forsaken me."
It pained Athena to see her mother suffering so, and the Queen's last words almost weakened her resolve. "I will not stand idly by while you waste away,” she firmly proclaimed. "I understand that you miss her Majesty, I do. I know that you are hurting over the argument that the two of you had had before her Majesty returned to Corinth, but this carrying on must cease." Athena helped her mother to her feet and handed her, her garments to wear. "I have half a mind to put you on a horse and take you back to Corinth, but honestly, I'm not sure you'll survive the ride, and regardless, you are my mother and Queen of the Realm and so I must respect and obey your wishes."
The Princess washed her mother's face with a wet piece of cloth. "Nevertheless," she stated resolutely, "Should you insist on continuing in this fashion, I shall be forced to speak to the Shamaness, which so far I've been reluctant to do so to avoid even the hint of a scandal." She discarded the cloth and took a brush in her hand.
"I'm so sorry for causing you such concern and discomfort," the Queen said remorsefully, as her devoted daughter brushed her golden hair, careful not to cause her mother pain as she untangled the stubborn knots.
Athena halted her motions and looked into her mother's sad eyes intently. "You needn't apologize to me, mother," she said with great conviction. "Just take better care of yourself," she went on to say and resumed the brushing.
When the Queen was presentable, they both made their way to take breakfast. The Queen sat at the table and under the watchful eye of Athena she joylessly placed food in her mouth and involuntarily began masticating it slowly before swallowing it. It tasted like sand in her mouth, not because it was spoiled or badly cooked, but because she had no desire what so ever for it.
And from there it was to the drilling field. There, more for her daughter's sakes than anything else, she recruited every fraction of will power and strength she had in her and plied them into her training.
Athena escorted her mother for supper as well, where she supervised her mother's eating like a relentless hawk, and from there it was to the Shamaness' hut.
"You seem better this evening, Majesty," the Shamaness said as she began lighting up the scented herbs, sitting across from the Queen.
"Thank you," the Queen replied and mindlessly rubbed her neck, just above the collarbone. She then did something she had never done before. She looked into the older woman's burning eyes, and said, "Please call me Gabrielle, at least whenever we're here. This… compulsory distance is suffocating me these days."
The Shamaness smiled and nodded her head approvingly. This was a first step in the right direction, she thought. "Very good, Gabrielle."
The Queen was given a cup with a murky liquid in it that had an exceptionally potent tang to drink. "It is perfectly safe. You'll soon feel lightheadedness. Now drink it."
"For what purpose?" the Queen asked as she began to sip the brew.
"Think of yourself as the gatekeeper of your mind. This potion will loosen your grip around the gate," the Shamaness explained then added, "It will benefit you more if you don't fight it."
It was at that moment that the potion took effect on the Queen. She leaned backwards until her back was resting against the floorboards and the hut's ceiling spun before her eyes. She felt herself floating as if she was in the middle of the sea. Beads of sweat covered her skin in spite of the fact that it was cold outside. Her last thought before she was under the effect of the potion was that the sensation wasn't unfamiliar to her, for it felt much like that night when she had gotten tipsy when she had been a body slave in service of the Conqueror.
In her mind's eye, she was thrown back to the time when she had been purchased by her second owner, Phillipon, before she had entered the Conqueror's service. He had purchased her as a body slave for his son, Damianos. When first she had heard the term 'body slave' being uttered, she hadn't had a clear notion of what exactly that term meant, but she instinctively understood what that particular 'position' might entail.
The events of that first night of her service to Damianos played vividly before her eyes like a scene played on a stage.
She remembered the fairly modest bedchamber of the young dark-haired man, Damianos. She could smell the unique smell of it, jasmine she believed it was. She remembered quickly looking around and studying her new surroundings, what would be her new place of abode. She could clearly recall the exact shade of blue and the shape of the patterns painted over the tiles. She heard Phillipon proudly congratulating his son for being accepted as a warrior into the ranks of the Conqueror's vast forces. She could feel Phillipon's hand against her back while he spoke slightly nudging her forward, offering her as a gift to his son, who had turned into a man in his father's eyes. She could sense how she nervously anticipated what had been, at that point, uncharted territory for her. Her previous position had been as a domestic for the county healer, and nothing else.
When she was left alone with the young lad, she quickly realized she would soon have to perform something she had never had to before. To some extent she felt odd excitement. He stripped her of her clothes, which was easy enough. She hadn’t had much on to begin with. He asked her to lie on the bed and she did. He soon disrobed as well and laid himself on top of her.
From his first touches to her body, she soon realized he didn’t know what he was doing. She was very much a virgin herself to be sure, and still growing up in her father’s farm, where she had had occasion to see livestock animals mate; she had had some idea as to the basic requirements of the act. This particular activity was meant to be pleasurable, otherwise what was the point of doing it, she understood that much. And yet, his touch generated no pleasure in her. He touched her like a curious toddler would, experimenting with a new toy that he had yet to figure out how to operate.
In her trance like state, her mind summoned for her consideration her first night in the Conqueror’s service, as an unfair comparison. Standing in the same chamber with Damianos was nothing like being in the presence of the Lord Conqueror. The Lord Conqueror commanded her awe and the glare of her smoldering mesmerizing eyes made her skin bristle and her knees feeble. The Conqueror touched her confidently and masterfully. Her powerful hands moved over her body like experienced travelers and her fingers like keen trackers. The Lord Conqueror knew exactly what she wanted and how to take it. The Lord Conqueror rained raging rivers of fire all over her flesh that seeped into her soul, and when the Lord Conqueror filled her she feared her heart would burst. These were not the fumbling attempts of a timid, unripened lad, but the absolute domination of the most powerful woman in the world… and she was so sinfully beautiful and statuesque that it almost made a young slave weep.
Still in a daze, her mind speeded forward. Her young owner Damianos didn’t improve over the seasons and in many ways she was thankful for that. When it became evident that the lad found men preferable to women, he discarded her, and where the son had left off, a father picked up and had occasion to use her.
When memories of service to Phillipon returned to haunt her, she was lucidly seeing them passing before her. While her body was being exploited for the sexual gratification of a stranger, she put her mind elsewhere where it was green and sunny and the warm dry winds brushed against the lush grass creating ripples as if against water, far far away from her owner and his domain.
With Damianos, it was different, because he was young and because he was pathetic she could almost forgive him or at the very least not begrudge him his actions. With Phillipon she felt the degradation fully.
She began to sob and was quickly becoming aware of her surroundings. She shot right up to a sitting position. The Shamaness cradled her in her arm and rocked her gently to calm her.
“These were just memories,” she said. “Acknowledge and confront them and they can never hurt you.”
The Queen needed to cry like she could expel the memories she hadn’t conjured in years through the purifying tears.
“You were robbed of your youth in the most humiliating way and deprived of any sense of power and control,” the Shamaness said and stroked the Queen’s hair in a motherly fashion.
“Did I say something!?” the Queen covered her mouth, mortified when she suddenly realized the Shamaness had more than a fair idea as to what she had experienced.
“Some things you said, others I saw,” the Shamaness whispered but deemed it unnecessary to explain any further and she was correct. At that moment it didn’t really matter.
“I have never delved into the events of those days for fear of sinking and disappearing into the abyss.” The Queen sniffed and wiped her tears when she finally calmed.
“You have come a long way from those days,” the Shamaness told her, “but you already know that better than I do. Oftentimes there is no good reason as to why events occur the way they do, but try to perceive it differently. If you hadn’t been sold, you wouldn’t have become the Lord Conqueror’s wife and Queen and you wouldn’t have been in the position to better the lives of countless people.”
The Queen smiled a genuine smile, her first in days. “I could only hope so.”
“Well, I can see your hand all over the Conqueror's decree to abolish slavery," the Shamaness said knowingly.
Juxtaposing the building of hospices and outlawing slavery, the latter was the grander gesture of the two for the former required nothing more than for the Conqueror to spend her exchequer; the latter behooved her to be at odds with subjects of the Realm who were rich and powerful enough to own slaves.
Queen Gabrielle was reluctant to admit the great influence she had had over the Conqueror's decisions, for it might insinuate as to the true nature of their bond, and so she elected to refrain from admitting as much.
However, no such admission was necessary. "There is much more to you, Gabrielle, than Queen of the Realm, wife of the Lord Conqueror and mother to her heir or future Queen of the Amazon nation. You mustn’t lose sight of who you are.”
“Thank you, Smyrna,” the Queen said. She wiped her brow and rose to her feet.
As the Shamaness poured water over the burning herbs, putting an end to the wafting white smoke, she asked, “Would you please do a favor for me?”
“If it is in my power to grant the favor, of course I would.”
“There are five sisters here that have been body slaves in the past.”
The Queen nodded her head in empathy, “I know. The late Princess Terreis told me just before…” her voice trailed off.
“In the years followed by the abolishment of slavery throughout the Realm, these women found their way to us. I’ve succeeded in helping four of them to confront the consequences.”
“Not all five?”
“I suspect Mitylene was severely damaged and keeps withdrawn. She must have suffered unfathomable horrors during her years of service… probably worse than most. She pays the price still. Will you agree to try and help me reach her?”
“I will try and do my very best,” the Queen promised as she reached the door.
“Sleep well, Gabrielle,” the Shamaness said.
“Thank you, and Good night,” replied the Queen.
On her way back to her hut, Queen Gabrielle realized how lonely it had been being the Queen of the Realm, even more so now with everything that had happened with her former lady-in-waiting Satrina and with Princess Lao-Ling’s untimely death. And even with those two women, whom she considered her dear and close friends, she had always kept them at arm's length and had allowed them to get only that close to her because of her station and her complex bond with her Lord.
Alone in bed and in the dark, Queen Gabrielle touched her fingertips to her lips and whispered, "My Lord," to herself, enjoying the hot vibrations of those two precious words against her skin.
That very night the Conqueror arrived at the palace in Corinth.

Question: 1
A completes \$\${7} / {10}\$\$ of a work in 15 days. Then he completes the remaining work with the help of B in 4 days. The time required for A and B together to complete the entire work is
(A) \$\$8{1}/{4}\$\$
(B) \$\$10{1}/{2}\$\$
(C) \$\$13{1}/{3}\$\$
(D) \$\$14{1}/{4}\$\$
Ans: C
(A + B)’s 4 day’s work = \$\$(1 – {7}/{10})\$\$ = \$\${3}/{10}\$\$
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = \$\$( {3/10} × {1/4})\$\$ = \$\${3}/{40}\$\$
Hence A and B together take \$\${40}/{3}\$\$
= \$\$13{1}/{3}\$\$ days to complete the entire work.
Question: 2
A works twice as fast as B. If B can complete a work in 12 days independently, the number of days in which A and B can together finish the work is
(A) 1 days
(B) 4 days
(C) 6 days
(D) 8 days
Ans: B
Ratio of rates of working of A and B = 2 : 1.
So, ratio of times taken = 1 : 2.
∴ A’s 1 day’s work = \$\${1} / {6}\$\$; B’s 1 day’s work = \$\${1} / {12}\$\$.
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work = \$\$({1} / {6} + {1} / {12})\$\$ = \$\${3} /{12}\$\$ = \$\${1} / {4}\$\$
So, A and B together can finish the work in 4 days.
Question: 3
A and B can separately do a piece of work in 20 and 15 days respectively. They worked together for 6 days, after which B was replaced by C. If the work was finished in next 4 days, then the number of days in which C alone could do the work will be
(A) 20
(B) 30
(C) 40
(D) 50
Ans: C
(A + B)’s 6 day’s work = \$\$6( {1/20} + {1/15})\$\$ = \$\${7}/{10}\$\$
(A + C)’s 4 day’s work = \$\$(1 - {7}/{10})\$\$ = \$\${3}/{10}\$\$
(A + C)’s 1 day’s work = \$\${3}/{40}\$\$
A’s 1 day’s work = \$\$ {1}/{20}\$\$
∴ C’s 1 day’s work = \$\$({3/40} - {1/20})\$\$ = \$\${1}/{40}\$\$
Hence, C alone can finish the work in 40 days.
Question: 4
Two spinning machines A and B can together produce 3,00,000 metres of cloth in hours. If machine B alone can produce the same amount of cloth in 15 hours, then how much cloth can machine A produce alone in 10 hours?
(A) 50,000 metres
(B) 1,00,000 metres
(C) 1,50,000 metres
(D) 2,00,000 metres
Ans: B
Length of cloth produced by A and B in 10 hrs = 3,00,000 m.
Length of cloth produced by B in 10 hrs = \$\$({300000} /{15} × 10)\$\$m = 200000 m.
∴ Length of cloth produced by A in 10 hrs
= (300000 – 200000) m = 100000 m.
Question: 5
A tyre has two punctures. The first puncture alone would have made the type flat in 9 minutes and the second alone would have done it in 6 minutes. If air leaks out at a constant rate, how long does it take both the punctures together to make it flat?
(A) \$\$1{1} / {2}\$\$
(B) \$\$1{1} / {3}\$\$
(C) \$\$3{1} / {2}\$\$
(D) \$\$3{3} / {5}\$\$
Ans: D
1 minute’s work of both the punctures = \$\$({1/9} + {1/6})\$\$ = \$\${5}/ {18}\$\$.
So, both the punctures will make the tyre flat in \$\${18}/{5}\$\$ = \$\$3{3} / {5}\$\$ min.

Save the tigers? It may be too late.
“I sometimes get pictures that people think look fake,” says Steve Winter, whose remote-controlled camera recorded two cubs in India; Winter spent a decade photographing tigers in the wild in Asia. CREDIT: Steve Winter/National Geographic Society.)
Amy Mathews Amos
Special To The Washington Post.
Photojournalist Steve Winter spent a decade photographing tigers in the wild in Asia. In 2007, when his life partner, writer Sharon Guynup, joined him for an assignment in India's Kaziranga National Park, they both came away concerned about the fate of these great animals. A century ago, more than 100,000 tigers roamed across 24 Asian countries, from Turkey to Indonesia. Today, they have disappeared from most of their historic range, and poaching, deforestation and a huge Chinese market for tiger parts (which are used in traditional Chinese medicine and as luxury items) have reduced their numbers to no more than 3,200. "We realized that tigers are almost gone, and no one seems to recognize that," Guynup said. The couple have collaborated on a book, "Tigers Forever," that combines magnificent images of the wild animals with troubling text about their dwindling state. Guynup said they hope it will shock the world into doing something "before the tigers are gone." The two recently spoke by telephone with The Post from their home in New Jersey on what it will take to save the world's biggest cat.
Q: Americans often assume that tigers are protected. How have conservation efforts failed?
A: Guynup: Because big conservation organizations have such huge fundraising needs and large administrative costs, their message to the public is often "We're saving tigers, we're saving polar bears." I think that message has lulled the public into believing that we're actually making progress. The biggest downfall of every large conservation organization today is that they are not addressing the demand [for tiger parts]. Unless the demand from China is stopped, tigers won't survive very far into the future. The organizations that are addressing the demand are the Wildlife Protection Society of India, the Environmental Investigation Agency based in London and WildAid, based here in the United States. Those are smaller, investigative, nimble organizations, and they're on the ground doing the undercover investigative work showing what's happening. And the combination of legal tiger farms in China, where they can legally sell skins, and an ongoing trade in tiger bone for tiger bone wine [believed to cure arthritis and impart strength, among other things] is killing the wild tigers across their range.
Q: Are those sales to China the biggest threat to tigers?
A: Guynup: Poaching has really skyrocketed, and it's fueled by the legal trade within China. There was a call by the international community in 2007 for all tiger-range countries to phase out tiger farming. But China's tiger farms have only grown. As long as those farms exist and there is a legal trade, they will not only stimulate demand but also launder all the wild products.
China argues that they should be able to have tiger farms because it's a domestic issue. But it's not. That demand is killing India's tigers and Thailand's tigers and other countries' tigers.
Winter: Stopping habitat loss is also very important. I saw that in Sumatra. When I first went to Sumatra [which is part of Indonesia] for a tiger story, we thought that [the Sumatran] tiger would be the next subspecies to go extinct. Now, that no longer seems to be the case [because their population appears to be higher than previously estimated].
But there also doesn't seem to be any movement toward protecting whatever land is left and stopping the rampant destruction of the forest for palm oil and wood. The fact that tiger numbers are now understood [to be higher than previously thought] in Sumatra is important. And value has been placed on their continued survival by some important people in Indonesia. For example, one of the country's most influential businessmen, Tomy Winata, has [become interested]. He founded a tiger sanctuary in 1996, which is part of a national park. With effective enforcement and zero tolerance toward poaching, he and his team have successfully secured a significant area.
And Thailand also created [an enforcement project] at the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in 2005 on the Thai-Burma border that has a protection force that is now being mirrored in other South Asia protected areas. But tigers don't exist in viable breeding populations elsewhere except in a few limited locations in India, Sumatra and Siberia.
Guynup: That patrol in Huai Kha Khaeng is a military-style patrol that does a pretty good job of protection [against poachers]. National parks that have tigers living within them need protection the same way cities need police. More than half of the world's remaining wild tigers live in India. The Bengal tigers in India are the biggest hope for tiger survival. But it's a country that is trying to keep an economy cranking at a high level, and there are 1.2 billion people living in India, so there's a fight over resources and land. India is a poaching target because it shares a long, porous border with China. India is where the most tigers are, so that's the source [for many poachers].
Q: Your book chronicles both the thrills and perils of tracking tigers throughout Asia, including dodging a charging rhino and patrolling for poachers with rangers. What was the biggest challenge you faced?
Winter: I think that always the biggest challenge is showing readers something they haven't seen before and creating renewed interest. You would never see a tiger in Sumatra or Thailand without using remote cameras [that trigger photographs when animals walk by], and because of the way I use remote cameras with artificial lights that balance with the daylight, I sometimes get pictures that people think look fake. Or they just stop when they see them. Which is great, because even if someone says, "Wow, that looks unreal," they've just spent five seconds longer on that picture than they normally would.
Because people are inundated with images 24/7, my job is to find a different way to photograph tigers, not just from the top of an elephant or in a jeep, but eye to eye with these intimate portraits that I'm able to get through the camera traps. But it's very dangerous because you're on the ground. In Kaziranga, I was filled with tension every time I exited the jeep to check the traps, because there are other animals like rhinos and elephants around, and you're entering their territory on your feet.
Q: And then you faced some challenges when you came home. Hurricane Sandy hit just as you began pulling this book together, and you were forced to evacuate your house.
Guynup: It affected me more than Steve because I was starting to research and write the book on a very, very short deadline. I did my first overnight Skype interviews to Asia from a Super 8 motel where we stayed for about 10 days with our 90-pound Lab, our four-month-old puppy, the cat, my adult son and Steve and I, so that was a little crazy. Steve lost 20 years of field gear, and we lost lots of personal stuff. Our home wasn't ruined, but we had huge storage in the basement that included prints and original slides.
Q: The book includes spectacular photographs of wild tigers, but it also includes disturbing images of poachers, traps and other animals. Why?
Winter: I've found two ways to overcome information overload. Number One is showing people images they haven't seen before and Number Two is showing images that might be a bit disturbing. So they look at them and hopefully they will find out the story behind the photograph. I also looked at Kaziranga as a kind of historic landscape where tigers live with species as in centuries past. This is what it used to look like and still does in a few select locations. It's great to see intact ecosystems that are protected with a variety of animals that are in them.
Guynup: Steve began his career as a photojournalist. So when he photographs wildlife, he approaches his assignments as a photojournalist. Unless you're going to tell the whole story and show people why these animals are disappearing and get them to care and hopefully to act, all the pretty pictures in the world aren't going to save these animals.
Q: What else should be done to help save tigers?
Guynup: The international community needs to join together and pressure China to stop the sale of tiger parts, skins, bones, all tiger parts from all sources, both captive and wild. And tiger-range countries need to use tools that are available through Interpol and other international agreements, to step up enforcement. If the demand is stopped, if the tiger farms are phased out and enforcement steps up, we can save tigers. But if that doesn't happen, they're going to disappear, possibly within our lifetime. People might think, "Oh, farms: Well, that kind of takes care of it all, and then we'll put them back." But once tigers have been in captivity and in contact with people, they're too dangerous to put back into the wild.
There are heavy population pressures in Asia, but India has over 40 tiger reserves. There's plenty of land. And now many areas are working to set up corridors to connect these reserves, so that the populations don't become inbred. As long as tigers have habitat, food and protection, they're a very resilient species. They bounce back. There is hope.

Logarithmic Differentiation
Differentiate: This can get messy with the quotient or product and chain rules. So we will use ln rules to help simplify this and apply implicit differentiation and then we solve for y’…
Derivative Involving Absolute Value
Recall that the ln function is undefined for negative numbers, so we often see expressions of the form ln|u|. So the following theorem states that we can differentiate functions of the form y= ln|u| as if the absolute value symbol is not even there. If u is a differentiable function such that u≠0 then:
Derivative Involving Absolute Value
Differentiate:
Finding Relative Extrema
Locate the relative extrema of 𝑦=ln( 𝑥 2 +2𝑥+3) Differentiate: 𝑢= 𝑥 2 +2𝑥+3, 𝑢 ′ =2𝑥+2 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑥+2 𝑥 2 +2𝑥+3 Set = 0 to find critical points 2𝑥+2 𝑥 2 +2𝑥+3 =0 2x+2=0 X=-1, Plug back into original to find y y=ln(1-2+3)=ln2 So, relative extrema is at (-1, ln2)
Homework 5.1 Natural Logarithmic Functions and the Number e Derivative #19-35,47-65, 71,79,93-96
General Power Rule for Integration
𝑥 𝑛 𝑑𝑥= 𝑥 𝑛+1 𝑛+1 +𝑐, 𝑛≠−1 Recall that it has an important disclaimer- it doesn’t apply when n = -1. So we can not integrate functions such as f(x)=1/x. So we use the Second FTC to DEFINE such a function.
Integration Formulas Let u be a differentiable function of x
Using the Log Rule for Integration
Using the Log Rule with a Change of Variables
1 4𝑥−1 𝑑𝑥 Let u=4x-1, so du=4dx and dx= 𝑑𝑢 4 1 𝑢 𝑑𝑢 4 = 𝑢 𝑑𝑢
Finding Area with the Log Rule
Find the area of the region bounded by the graph of y, the x-axis and the line x=3.
Recognizing Quotient Forms of the Log Rule
𝑥+1 𝑥 2 +2𝑥 𝑑𝑥→𝑢= 𝑥 2 +2𝑥, 𝑑𝑢=2𝑥+2𝑑𝑥 → (𝑥+1) 𝑥 2 +2𝑥 𝑑𝑥= 1 2 𝑙𝑛 𝑥 2 +2𝑥 +𝑐 =𝑙𝑛 𝑥 2 +2𝑥 𝑐
Definition The natural logarithmic function is defined by
The domain of the natural logarithmic function is the set of all positive real numbers

Using Long Division Before Integrating
Using a Trigonometric Identity
Guidelines for integration
Learn a basic list of integration formulas. (including those given in this section, you now have 12 formulas: the Power Rule, the Log Rule, and ten trigonometric rules. By the end of section 5.7 , this list will have expanded to 20 basic rules) Find an integration formula that resembles all or part of the integrand, and, by trial and error, find a choice of u that will make the integrand conform to the formula. If you cannot find a u-substitution that works, try altering the integrand. You might try a trigonometric identity, multiplication and division by the same quantity, or addition and subtraction of the same quantity. Be creative. If you have access to computer software that will find antiderivatives symbolically, use it.

19. Example Problem • A 100 kg block with a weight of 980 N hangs on a rope. Find the tension in the rope if • the block is stationary. • it’s moving upward at a steady speed of 5 m/s. • it’s accelerating upward at 5 m/s2. Slide 5-15
20. Example Problem A sled with a mass of 20 kg slides along frictionless ice at 4.5 m/s. It then crosses a rough patch of snow which exerts a friction force of 12 N. How far does it slide on the snow before coming to rest? Slide 5-21
21. Example Problem A 75 kg skier starts down a 50-m-high, 10° slope on frictionless skis. What is his speed at the bottom? Slide 5-27
22. Friction Brainstorm One person in each team takes out a sheet of paper and records their group brainstorming everything they know about friction.
23. Example Problem Burglars are trying to haul a 1000 kg safe up a frictionless ramp to their getaway truck. The ramp is tilted at angle θ. What is the tension in the rope if the safe is at rest? If the safe is moving up the ramp at a steady 1 m/s? If the safe is accelerating up the ramp at 1 m/s2? Do these answers have the expected behavior in the limit θ→ 0° and θ→ 90°? Slide 5-28
24. Example Problem Macie pulls a 40 kg rolling trunk by a strap angled at 30° from the horizontal. She pulls with a force of 40 N, and there is a 30 N rolling friction force acting on trunk. What is the trunk’s acceleration?

Problem 7 :
Daniel had some hot dogs and he gave one third of the hot dogs to Alex. If Alex gets 8 hot dogs from Daniel, how many hot dogs did have initially ?
Solution :
Let h be the number of hot dogs that Daniel had initially.
Then,
m/3 = 8
Multiply each side by 3.
m = 24
So, Daniel had 24 hot dogs initially.
Problem 8 :
Between the hours of 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., the temperature decreases an average of of a degree per hour. How long, in hours and minutes, will it take for the temperature to decrease by 5 °F ?
Solution :
Let x represent the number of hours it takes for the temperature to decrease by 5 °F.
Write an equation
(-3/4)x = -5
3x/4 = -5
Solve the equation using an inverse operation.
Multiply each side by - 4/3.
x = 20/3
x = 6 2/3
It takes 6 2/3 hours.
Convert 2/3 hours to minutes.
2/3 hours = (2/3) ⋅ 60 minutes
2/3 hours = 40 minutes
So, it takes 6 hours and 40 minutes for the temperature to decrease by 5 °F.

Chevalier de Mere asked Blaise Pascal why in a game with three dice the sum $11$ is more favorable than $12$, when both sums have exactly the same possible combinations:
For $11$ we have $(5,5,1), (5,4,2), (5,3,3), (4, 4, 3), (6,4,1), (6,3,2)$ and for $12$ we have $(6,5,1), (6,4,2), (6,3,3), (5,4,3), (4,4,4), (5,5,2)$, so both sums should be equiprobable.
My attempt: I think Chevalier de Mere made the mistake of thinking all the dice are indistinguishable. I tried to compute the exact probabilities.
Let $$\Omega = \left\{(x,y,z) \mid 1 \leq x,y,z \leq 6, \quad 3 \leq x + y + z \leq 18\right\}$$ be the sample space. We are interested in the events $$A = \left\{(x,y,z) \mid x + y + z = 11 \right\}$$ and $$B = \left\{(x,y,z) \mid x + y + z = 12 \right\}.$$ For the sum $11$, we have $27$ possible permutations of all the triples. For the sum $12$, there are two less, that is $25$. So $\#A = 27$ and $\#B = 25$. Since $\#\Omega = 6 \cdot 6 \cdot 6 = 216$, we have $$P(A) = \frac{27}{216} = 0.125, \qquad P(B) = \frac{25}{216} = 0.1157.$$ Is this reasoning correct?
• Yes, 27 versus 25 looks correct to me. – almagest May 28 '16 at 15:15
• The calculation is right. I would say that the calculation that yields equiprobable uses the wrong probability model. – André Nicolas May 28 '16 at 15:45 | 491 | 1,358 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 1, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.15625 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | latest | en | 0.84061 |

(b)Position of the particle at 4 sec is given by
$x_4=3(4)^3+ 7(4)^2 + 14(4) + 8=192 + 112+ 28+8=368$ m
We already know the position of the particle at t=0
Displacement between t=0 to t=4 is given by
$=x_4 - x_0=368 -32=336$m
(c) Velocity is given by
$v=\frac {dx}{dt} = 9t^2 + 14t + 14$
Now velocity at 2 sec
$v_2=9(2)^2 + 14(2) + 14=78$m/s
(d) Accleration is given by
$a=\frac {dv}{dt}=18t + 14$
Now acceleration of the particle at t=1 sec
$a_1=18(1) + 14=32$m/s2
(e)Average velocity will be give as
$=\frac {x_4 -x_2}{4-2}$
Now
$x_2=3(2)^3+ 7(2)^2 + 14(2) + 8=24+28+ 28+8=88$ m
So Average velocity
$= \frac {336-88}{2}=124$ m/s
Question 2
The distance x of a particle moving in one-direction, under the action of a constant force is related to time by equation
$t= \sqrt {x} +3$
where x is in metres, t is in seconds.
Find the displacement of the particle when its velocity is zero.
Solution
The equation of time is given as,
$t= \sqrt {x} +3$
it can be rearranged as
$\sqrt {x} =t−3$
Squarring both the sides
$x=t^2 -6t+9$
The velocity is given as,
$v=\frac {dx}{dt} =2t−6$
When the velocity is zero, it can be written as,
0=2t−6
t=3
Therefore The displacement at 3s is given as,
$\sqrt x=3-3$
$x=0$
## Problems
Question 1
A particle’s position on the x axis is given by
$x = 4 - 27t + t^3$
with x in meters and t in seconds.
Find the particle’s velocity function v(t) and acceleration function a(t).
Question 2
A particle initialy moving with velocity u is subjected to a retarding force as a result, it deccelerates with $a=-k \sqrt {v}$ where v is instantanous velocity and k is positive constant.

What are our obligations toward Syria? Are we exceptional or responsible?

As we approach the Congressional vote on military intervention in Syria, asking what our response can and should be, instead of military intervention, and how the U.S. thinks of its role in the world seems critical. If we believe that we have a role to play in enhancing the security of others, what action might that lead to? In this guest post Doug Bennett addresses these questions. I have posted this guest post by Doug here and at the Shared Security website. - Lucy
As Syria holds our attention, the biggest question for me, and I hope for you, is about the United States. As the United States asserts that Syria’s President Assad has responsibilities to his own people, we should be asking what are our responsibilities to other countries?
Syrian President Assad used poison gas against citizens of his own country: that’s the charge. It is an unproven allegation that it was the Assad regime that used the gas. There has not been any public consideration of the evidence, and we all remember (don’t we?) that the allegations of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq turned out be bogus.
The case for intervention is that there are limits to what a leader (whether a despot or democratically elected) can do towards his own people. A leader has obligations and responsibilities, the argument goes, and other countries can and should enforce these responsibilities, once breached. Use of poison gas is a crime against humanity, and no one should be allowed to do that.
There are those who reject this idea in the name of sovereignty. Each country is its own sovereign world, they say, and no other country should think it has the right, let alone the responsibility, to intervene in the affairs of any other country. What happens in Syria is Syria’s business, something for Syrians to sort out. Those from Turkey or Russia, Israel or the United States should butt out.
Syria by Eric BarfoedThese are starkly opposed views of international affairs. One claims nation states are each their own world, with no rights or responsibilities to anyone else. The other claims that there are at least some international norms or rules that must not be broken. If a country breaks them, other countries can punish them. This second view says there are international norms, international laws, and international organizations that nation states should respect, and to which they should be held accountable. The first view says that the international scene is lawless and normless, a terrain where the strong rule and might makes right.
Which is our view? I believe that there are and should be international norms, and that Assad may well have broken an important one. But what’s the view of the United States government?
On the one hand, the U.S. seems indeed to be saying that Assad broke an international norm and should be punished. But on the other hand, the U.S. also seems to be saying that the U.S. should make up its own mind about what to do about this. We seem to be presuming we can and should do as we please towards Assad, denying that we have any responsibilities to other countries. It appears we want it both ways: responsibilities for other countries, but not for us. American Exceptionalism is again in the saddle.
If we fully accepted the idea that countries have responsibilities, then we would be asking what is the responsible way, in concert with others, to confront Assad’s barbarism rather than acting as if it is entirely up to us to decide what to do about Syria.
We may be frustrated that the United Nations Security Council cannot reach agreement about what to do. Russia and China won’t approve U.N. sanctioned military action against Assad. But are we listening to their reasons? Certainly, each often acts in its own self-interested way, but each is also remembering Libya when they went along with U.N. sanctioned military force to prevent Muammar el-Qaddafi from murdering his own people. They believe they authorized restraining Qaddafi, not overthrowing him. They are reluctant to authorize another effort to restrain that might be used as a blank check for regime change.
The United Nations is not our only option for holding Assad accountable. We could and should charge him with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court. This would provide a setting for publicly hearing and weighing the evidence that the Assad regime has used poison gas. Referral to the ICC would be awkward for the U.S., however, because the United States has refused to recognize the International Criminal Court. We have said that recognizing the ICC would be an unwarranted intervention in our internal affairs. Of course that is just what Assad is saying about any efforts to restrain him.
So here’s the question again: Does the United States believe that countries have responsibilities to other countries? Taken in the large, the United States is today the country that most stands in the way of recognizing and upholding international norms, laws, and processes.
A U.S. foreign policy framed around shared security recognizes the humane obligations we have towards one another—even across national boundaries. These are responsibilities we must consistently acknowledge, not just lift up when it suits our fancy.

As part of a boundary value problem, I did the following integral:
$b_n = 2\int^1_0 (30 \sin(\pi x) - 100 (1-x)) \sin (n\pi x) dx$
next step:
$b_n = 2\int^1_0 (30 \sin(\pi x)sin (n\pi x) - (100 (1-x)) \sin (n\pi x) dx$
we can break this up
$= 60\int^1_0 \sin(\pi x)sin (n\pi x) - 200\int^1_0((1-x)) \sin (n\pi x) dx$
and integrating the two parts, the first half via the product-to-sum identity
$= 60\int^1_0 \frac{1}{2}[\cos(\pi x- n\pi x) - \cos(\pi x+ n\pi x)]dx - 200\int^1_0((1-x)) \sin (n\pi x) dx$
using inegration by parts on the second half, with $u= 1-x$ and $du = -dx$, $dv = \sin (n\pi x) dx$ and $v = \frac{\cos (n\pi x)}{n \pi}$
$= 60\int^1_0 \frac{1}{2}[\cos(\pi x- n\pi x) - \cos(\pi x+ n\pi x)]dx - 200[(1-x)(\frac{\cos (n\pi x)}{n \pi})+\int^1_0\frac{\cos (n\pi x)}{n \pi}dx]$
$$= \left[ 60 \frac{1}{2}[\frac{\sin(\pi x- n\pi x)}{\pi - n\pi } - \frac{\sin(\pi x+ n\pi x)}{\pi + n\pi}] - 200[(1-x)(\frac{\cos (n\pi x)}{n \pi})+\frac{\sin (n\pi x)}{(n \pi)^2}]\right]^1_0$$
And when I do the algebra I get: $$= 30 [\frac{\sin(\pi - n\pi )}{\pi - n\pi } - \frac{\sin(\pi + n\pi )}{\pi + n\pi}] - 200\left(\frac{\sin (n\pi )}{(n \pi)^2}\right) + 200(\frac{1}{n \pi})$$
Here's what I don't get. If n= 1 the part multiplied by 30 goes to 0/0. Does that mean I can count it as 1? That's what the text notes, that it is 0 if $n \neq 1$ and 1 if $n=1$, but I just wanted to be sure I understood this and did the whole integration correctly.
thanks

"If n= 1 the part multiplied by 30 goes to 0/0. Does that mean I can count it as 1?" You certainly can't, whatever your text says! You have to treat n=1 as a special case, and perform the calculation step by step. – TonyK Nov 18 '13 at 19:17
ok, so what is that special case? That is, should i plug in n=1 earlier on (like before I do the integration, when it is still a cosine term) and go from there? Problem is, I still end up with a zero in the denominator... – Jesse Nov 18 '13 at 19:35
Oh wait,, the $\cos(\pi x - \pi x)$ (when n=1) is a 1, and that means it's just x in the integration which is 1... I got it... – Jesse Nov 18 '13 at 19:40
Exactly!${}{}{}$ – TonyK Nov 18 '13 at 19:46
You can justify the step if you consider the parameter-dependent integral
$$I(\alpha) = \int_0^1 \cos (\alpha\pi x)\,dx.$$
For $\alpha \neq 0$, you have
\begin{align} I(\alpha) &= \frac{\sin (\alpha\pi x)}{\alpha\pi}\bigl\lvert_0^1\\ &= \frac{\sin (\alpha\pi)}{\alpha\pi}. \end{align}
The integrand is continuous and depends continuously on $\alpha$, hence $I(\alpha)$ depends continuously on $\alpha$, and
$$I(0) = \lim_{\alpha\to 0} I(\alpha) = \lim_{\alpha\to 0} \frac{\sin (\alpha\pi)}{\alpha\pi} = 1.$$
But you need to let $\alpha$ assume non-integer values for that. It's at least as easy to just plug in $0$ and compute $\int_0^1 1\,dx$.

https://x.thunkable.com/copy/d33133508cec6445f1c1efe4a0ecf0bc
If I copy and paste the above math problem to a calculator it gives out the answer as 4. I want to do the same thing in Thunkable. The numbers can be multi digits and the operators occurrence is random. I sat on this problem for couple of hour pondering … I can conceive the solution but it is too big and convoluted. Please check my starter program which can successfully do "123 + 234 + " kind of string. It will just add 123 +234 and spit out the answer as 357 going beyond that is my hurdle. Is there a easy solution or the big bulky convoluted solution I am thinking off is the only way out? Thanks
The answer should be 5. What calculator is giving you 4 as the answer?
Given 1 - 2 + 3 * 4 / 2, you multiply 3 * 4 / 2 and get 6 (either 12 ÷ 2 or 3 * 2). So 1 minus 2 is -1 and then adding 6 (from earlier) gives you 5.
If you’re trying to make a calculator app (and I would wonder why…), no there’s no easy solution. It’s going to take a lot of work to get it right.
Ok that is what I thought but thanks for confirming it. Now I can skip this feature without guilt This is something like a calculator but with limited features for a different purpose. So I will just skip this feature. Just to complete my reply I used the standard calculator which comes with Windows 11.
There they do the calculations from left to right. 1-2 = -1, -1 + 3 = 2, 2*4 = 8 and finally 8/2 = 4. You can see the last operation up there above 4. Thanks again
You’re welcome. If that’s true, then the Windows calculator isn’t following order or operations. That would really surprise me so I’m guessing you’re entering the problem from left to right and that actually, you are ignoring order of operations.
If you do need to program a calculator, there are many examples available if you Google calculator Thunkable.

Actually there are two types of order processing in calculators, the accounting type which is FCFS (First Come First Serve) or the scientific type which is BODMAS. @tatiang is referring to the more common in schools which is BODMAS. Whereas the Windows one is set as accounting type.

I have a neat problem:
Suppose that we extend definitions of evenness and oddness to the entire set of real numbers by the following:
The set of odd numbers is exactly the set of all differences (n+1)^a-n^a for positive rational a and integral n.
A number is even iff it is twice an odd number.
All other real numbers are neither even nor odd.
Is the set of even numbers still disjoint from the set of odd numbers? (i.e. is an odd number twice another odd number?)
Prove that the set of real numbers neither even nor odd has the same cardinality as the set of real numbers.

I like the posts on this. Am wondering if anyone can help my daughter and I figure out how to validate the pattern that we found in our squares. We found that, as long as the number beig squared is divisible by 3, that the sum of the numbers in the answer of the square is equal to 9. For example, 3 sq is divisible by 3 and the total of the answer (9) = 9. If we move onto 6 sq (also divisible by 3), the answer (36) = 9. And so on and so on…can anyone help explain this pattern to us?

@Sean: Great question. It turns out that if the sum of the digits of a number add up to 9 (or a multiple of 9, like 18, etc.) then that number is divisible by nine.
if the number being squared is divisible by 3 (so it’s 3*n), then the square is (9 * n^2) which is divisible by 9, and therefore falls into the pattern :). I’d like to do a post on why the digits need to add up this way, but here’s one insight:
If we start with 9, clearly the digits (the only digit!) adds to 9. Whenever we add 9, we’re really doing (10 - 1) which means “increase the tens digit by 1, and decrease the ones digit by 1”. This keeps the sum of digits in balance, so we should expect that the sum of digits always equals 9 as before. (For example, 18 means we changed 09 to 18). Of course, once you get to 90 and add (10-1) you are really only able to “fill” the ones digit and get 99 (which then increases the total sum to 18 – but, you kept the sum of digits divisible by 9). Hope this helps!

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The giant hornet Vespa mandarinia japonica preys on Japanese bees. However, if one of the hornets attempts to invade a beehive, several hundred of the bees quickly form a compact ball around the hornet to stop it. They don't sting, bite, crush, or suffocate it. Rather they overheat it by quickly raising their body temperatures from the normal 35°C to 47°C or 48°C, which is lethal to the hornet but not to the bees (Fig. below). Assume the following: 519 bees form a ball of radius R = 3.6 cm for a time t = 24 min, the primary loss of energy by the ball is by thermal radiation, the ball's surface has emissivity ε = 0.85, and the ball has a uniform temperature. On average, how much additional energy must each bee produce during the 24 min to maintain 47°C? The Stefan–Boltzmann constant is 5.6704 × 10-8 W/m2-K4.
2. Relevant equations
P=$$\sigma$$$$\epsilon$$AT$$^{4}$$
3. The attempt at a solution
(5.6704X10$$^{-8}$$)(.85)(4$$\pi$$)(.036)$$^{2}$$(320)$$^{4}$$
Which comes out to 8.24635 and I took this to be joules per second.
(8.24635 X 1440)/519
=22.84
So far, I can't seem to get the correct answer. I have tried finding the answer with only the increased temp rise from 35 to 47 instead of the overall temp of 47 and its still wrong.

A triangle has three straight line sides. The word triangle comes from a Latin word which means three-cornered. The corners of a triangle are called its vertices (singular vertex).
If all the sides of a triangle are different lengths it is a scalene triangle. We can show that if all the sides of a triangle are different then all the angles are different too, and visa versa.
If two of the sides are equal then it is an isosceles triangle, from the Greek for equal legs.
We often draw an isosceles triangle with the unequal side at the bottom, as at the left of the picture, but it does not have to be like that, it can be at any angle.
We can show that if two of the sides of a triangle are equal then so are two of the angles, and visa versa.
If all three sides of a triangle are equal then it is an equilateral triangle, from the Latin for equal length.
We can show that if all the sides of a triangle are equal then so are all the angles, and visa versa. We show later on this Page that each of the angles in an equilateral triangle is 60°.
The angles inside a triangle are called the internal angles. If we extend one side we form the external angle. The internal and external angles at any vertex of a triangle (or any polygon) are supplementary, that is, they add up to 180° (two right angles). Two angles are complementary if they add up to 90° (one right angle.) When we are talking about the angles of a triangle we usually mean the internal angles, we do not usually need to say internal angle unless there might be some confusion as to whether we mean internal or external angle.
If we walk along one side of a large triangle drawn on the ground, when we come to a vertex the external angle is the angle we must turn through in order to be able to walk along the next side.
For an equilateral triangle the internal angles are all equal, and as the internal and external angles are supplementary, the external angles must also all be equal.
If we walk all round an equilateral triangle so that we end up where we started from and are facing in the same direction we shall have turned through a complete circle of 360°. This means that the external angles add up to 360° so each one of them must be 360° ÷ 3 or 120°. As the external and internal angles are supplementary each internal angle must be 180° - 120° or 60°, so the sum of the internal angles is 3 × 60° or 180°. We can show that this is true for all triangles, not only equilateral triangles, that is,
For any triangle the sum of the internal angles is 180°.
This means that if one of the (internal) angles in a triangle is 90° or more then the sum of the other two angles must be 90° or less, that is, a triangle can have only one right angle or one obtuse angle. In an acute angled triangle all the angles are acute, in a right angled triangle one angle is a right angle, in an obtuse angled triangle one angle is obtuse.
We can combine these terms with scalene and isosceles, so the different types of triangle are
• Acute angled scalene
• Right angled scalene
• Obtuse angled scalene
• Acute angled isosceles
• Right angled isosceles
• Obtuse angled isosceles
• Equilateral - this must be acute angled so we do not need to say so.
There is more about right angled triangles on the Right Angled Triangle Page of my Web Site (currently under construction).
We usually label the vertices of a triangle or other polygon and the ends of a straight line with capital letters, often consecutive letters, such as A, B and C or P, Q and R.
Here the sides are PQ, QR and PR. (The order of the letters, for example PR or RP, matters only if the sides of the triangle are vectors - this is not discussed further here.)
The whole triangle is called triangle PQR; the angle between PQ and PR can be called angle QPR, or if there cannot be any confusion what angle is meant just angle P. The angle P is included between PQ and PR, and (angle) P and (side )QR are opposite.
We often use small letters to stand for the lengths of the sides. Conventionally, the length of the side opposite angle (big) P is given the symbol (little) p. Remember that p stands for the length of the side not the side itself: we must not refer to side p, only side QR. The longest side is always opposite the largest angle.
If we have three rods we can join them at their ends to make a triangle. The only Rule is that any two of the rods must together be longer than the third, otherwise their ends will not join.
There is only one way we can join these rods: the brown one will always have a magenta rod at one end and a green rod at the other.
If you are colour-blind, and in England about one boy in ten is, I have tried to choose colours where you can see the difference, but if you cannot please e-mail me and I will change them.
Of course, you can turn the shape round or upside down in any way you like but it will always be exactly the same size and shape.
This is very important because it means that once we have fixed the length of the sides of a triangle we have also fixed the angles. This is always true for all triangles, it is never true for any other polygon.
Triangles which are exactly the same size and shape are congruent.
Going on from here, if we have a triangle and increase the length of just one side by a certain proportion, say 80%, while keeping the angles the same we also increase the length of the other two sides by 80%.
The two triangles are the same shape but not the same size. This is always true of all triangles; it is never true for any other polygon. Triangles which are the same shape but not the same size are similar.
These important differences between triangles and all other polygons are discussed at greater length in The Shape of a Polygon.
For all triangles, the ratio of the length of the sides depends only upon the size of the angles, and the size of the angles depends only on the ratio of the length of the sides. A whole branch of mathematics, called trigonometry, is founded on this very simple idea.
## The area of a triangle
Here triangle ABF is half the area of the rectangle ADBF, and triangle FBC is half the area of rectangle FBEC. So triangle ABC is half the area of the rectangle ADEC. The area of rectangle ADEC is base × height so the area of triangle ABC is ½ (base × height).
The apex of the triangle does not have to lie on the rectangle for this to be true. You might like to try to prove this for yourself - it is not difficult. But e-mail me if you get stuck.
The area of any triangle is half the base times the (vertical) height. | 1,497 | 6,587 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.90625 | 5 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | latest | en | 0.916736 |

What is the list of prime numbers from 1 to 100? Prime numbers from 1 to 100 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
### Which is a composite number?
A composite number is a positive integer. which is not prime (i.e., which has factors other than 1 and itself). The first few composite numbers (sometimes called “composites” for short) are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, (OEIS A002808), whose prime decompositions are summarized in the following table.
#### What are the prime numbers 1 to 200?
The prime numbers from 1 to 200 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131, 137, 139, 149, 151, 157, 163, 167, 173, 179, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199.
How many non prime numbers are there between 1 and 100?
Odd Composite Numbers 1 to 100 There are a total of 25 odd composite numbers from 1 to 100. The list of odd composite numbers 1 to 100 includes 9, 15, 21, 25, 27, 33, 35, 39, 45, 49, 51, 55, 57, 63, 65, 69, 75, 77, 81, 85, 87, 91, 93, 95, and 99.
What is twin number?
Two prime numbers are called twin primes if there is present only one composite number between them. Or we can also say two prime numbers whose difference is two are called twin primes. For example, (3,5) are twin primes, since the difference between the two numbers 5 – 3 = 2.
## What is co-prime for Class 6?
Any set of numbers which do not have any other common factor other than 1 are called co-prime or relatively prime numbers. This shows that 5 and 6 have no common factor other than 1. Therefore, they are co-prime numbers.
### What are the composite numbers from 1 to 500?
4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81,82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100. | 858 | 2,050 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.25 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2024-38 | latest | en | 0.93152 |

Solve for x and y: ac+by-2a+3b=0 And. bx-ay=3a+2b
Asked by ratankumar10045 | 15 Jan, 2020, 09:27: PM
The question should be like below:
Solve for x and y:
ax + by - 2a + 3b = 0
And. bx - ay = 3a + 2b
Consider,
ax + by = 2a - 3b ...(i)
bx - ay = 3a + 2b ...(ii)
Multuplying by b to equation (i) and by a to equation (ii)
abx + b2y = 2ab - 3b2 ...(iii)
abx - a2y = 3a2 + 2ba ...(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (iii) we get y = -3
Put y = -3 in (i) we get x = 2

For a certain section of pine forest, the number Y of diseased trees per acre has a Poisson distribution with mean lambda=10. The disased trees are sprayed with an insecticide at a cost of 3 dollars per tree, plus a fixed overhead cost for equipment rental of 50 dollars. Letting C denote the total spraying cost for a randomly selected acre, find the expected value and variance for C.
Expected value is easy to find: 80
I'm stuck on Variance? Why is variance 90?
Because $C = 3Y+50$, and $var(C)=var(3Y+50)=9var(Y)=90$
• Thank you so much. Just a doubt, if we had to do it by the method of EX^2 etc. how would it look like?

• $E[C^2]=E[(3Y+50)^2]=E[9Y^2+300Y+2500]=9E[Y^2]+300E[Y]+2500$; since Possion variance is $\lambda = 10$, $E[Y^2] = var(Y) + E[Y]^2 = 110$. Substituting leaves us with $E[C^2] = 6490$. $E[C]^2 = 6400$, then $var(C) = 6490-6400=90$ Sep 9, 2018 at 17:36

I am excited for our final project in Algebra II…parabolic solar cookers! After we did an in class investigation of the four different types of conics with play-doh, evaluated the standard equations, and explored the graphs of each, I wondered if there was one more way I could help my students deepen their understanding of conics. So, while sitting on the couch at home with my husband and searching online, I found this (http://www.education.com/science-fair/article/solar-hot-dog-cooker/) and excitedly told him, “I’m going to make this happen!!” The next day at school, I talked with my dean about the logistics of creating solar cookers and ways to help scaffold the lesson.
The summary of the project and the student materials that I revised from the website are below (some wording and pictures are directly from the website above…so please credit that source if using this.) The directions are quite lengthy, but very step-by-step, so I suggest breaking this up into at least 3-5 days with groups of 2-4 students.
Summary: To begin the project, students spent a class day researching and answering questions about solar cookers. With the help of an actual solar energy engineer (see his website and work here: energyae.com) generating some ideas, the questions helped students buy in to the project (he also sent me some videos to show students real life parabolic solar panels…if you have Dropbox, check them out here: https://www.dropbox.com/home/SolarMrsTaplin). The next day, students found three points to create a parabolic curve based on the dimensions of their shoe box (two top corner points and one center origin point). From these, students calculated the equation and plotted other points to create a nice, accurate curve. Next, students calculated the focal point, which we talked about the reasoning as to why this is the spot they should place their food at to cook. Lastly, students covered their curves in poster board and foil for the reflective surface and fashioned holders for the focal point.
A few groups still need to finish, but they are coming along very nicely! It has been raining/cloudy for about a week straight now, so please do a little anti-rain dance for us and hope for some sun so we can test out these cookers before the school year ends!! I will post after we get to and show the results!
Student Materials: (link to word doc: solar cooker proj or click on thumbnails below for images)
Update: We finally had some sunny weather and got to go out to cook. We left the solar cookers out for about 45 minutes. The marshmallows didn’t melt the way we predicted, but having thermometers out with us proved that it definitely got hotter at the focal point. Most had an initial temperature of 90-92 degrees F, and after about 20 minutes, the temperature rose to about 105. The final temperature recorded was about 120 degrees F at the focal point of most solar cookers. Although they were a little bummed that the marshmallows didn’t melt completely, we talked about the fact that if it were 120 degrees F outside, they would not want to be outside themselves. So, that helped put it in perspective and see that it worked. Next year, I think we should try cooking a darker food substance…maybe chocolate, and we could do fondue 🙂
# UbD Unit for Systems of Equations and English STAAR
I completely forgot about a UbD unit I created a few years ago which connects mathematical systems of equations to writing for the English STAAR (I wasn’t able to use it this year due to a calendaring scheduling conflict, so it slipped my mind). I was searching around for some English/Math connections and stumbled upon this unit published by Trinity University…turns out it’s mine! I figured my blog would be a good place to leave this link to the unit. I know it’s a bit late in the year to use for STAAR writing practice, but maybe it can be stored away for next year!
# Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night
I have been thinking a lot about grading, assessment, and the meaning behind these to both teachers and students. I have read Dan Meyer, Daniel Schneider, Educational Leadership, Matt Townsley, and Rick Wormeli while researching and talking with colleagues about mastery and standards based grading (SBG). I really like a lot of the ideas of SBG including more frequent and smaller assessments that allow one to know a student’s mastery on a standard. I also like the thought of a 1-4 scale and the language that is used to convey what each number means. One example I found that I really like is that the Solon School’s language in their rubric (1). However, I am still struggling to wrap my head around SBG and mastery in the math classroom. I still have lingering questions that honestly keep me up at night. I want to do what is right for students and I want to push them to understand what they know and what they don’t. Even further, I want them to take charge of their learning and with my feedback, help them to know how to gain mastery on a concept.
Here is what I want to keep in my classroom regardless of grading…
Student communication and group work: I think when students talk out mathematical problems together, they cognitively grow a lot. A student’s ability to explain a topic further enriches their own understanding, and when they hear an explanation from another student, they relate to the language they’re using. So, regardless of how I grade and what I grade, I still want students to work together to solve problems.
Reasoning: I also want to be sure I am still allowing room for reasoning and processing skills beyond algebraic skills. I want to continue to provide opportunities for students to explain and justify their understanding of concepts through written and spoken dialogue. Whether this fits into a numerical grade or not, students still need to be pushed to think deeply and justify their reasoning.
Here are my questions that linger…
How do I create a balance between group practice and independent practice? How do I convince students that individual work time is just as, if not sometimes more, beneficial than group work? And finally, how do I convince students that individual assessments are meant to be informative not punitive, especially when we take points off for wrong answers rather than give points for correct attempts? Right now I give a lot of time for group practice. Again, I love the learning that happens when students talk through math. But I am realizing as I read more about SBG, I need to create more opportunities to show what they know individually. In that, I need to create time to give my feedback to them on an individual level beyond tests. I think by adding in more frequent assessments, this will do that and give students the opportunity to analyze what they know. These could just look like short quizzes done on note cards at the beginning of class. They could be graded on a 1-4 scale with more feedback than a regular assignment as it leads up to a cumulative summative assessment. The question then becomes, do I have the time myself to dedicate rich feedback more often to every individual student? How do I create that time, especially as a math teacher, when so many of my days are dedicated to teaching new material rather than refining knowledge students already know? Ultimately, can someone find me some more hours in the day? 🙂
Feel free to respond to any or all of my questions, share this with every educator you know, and continue the conversation of grading and assessment!
# MatHistory Part 2
This post has taken me a while to write with several revisions because I just haven’t known how to write it in a way that gives justice to everything I have loved about this assessment. Every time I sit down to write it, a new way to introduce the post races through my head. However, I think the best way to start out is simply thanking the AP World History teachers who had the vision and the enthusiasm for working with me to create this complex, unique, and highly successful interdisciplinary assessment. So, thank you, Mr. Freeman and Mr. Sprott! I hope this leads to many more mathistory and mathenglishistry (math-English-history-chemistry) ideas!
So, here’s how the project unfolded…
Last Tuesday, the World History teacher presented our students with the idea of a power scale timeline and explained how to create one. Each group of four students were given 16+ maps of various European empires that showed the time at which each empire owned land. After identifying the region, they transferred the area onto a larger scaled timeline. Then, when all the empires were on one map, students used their mathematical knowledge to identify key points and explain why they are important relevant to time and land area (we presented this part on the second day). At this point you may be thinking whhhat theee hecckkk is this lady talking about…don’t worry, our students were also a bit perplexed by the task at the beginning and in first period, we did have a brief time when we felt as if our students might revolt against us. However, after encouraging our students to just try it out, much to their surprise with a little patient problem solving (as referenced by Dan Meyer) they excelled at the task. After they got the hang of it, I asked one student to explain the process and here is his recording. I liked getting to be in the history classroom this day because I was a second person who could help facilitate and answer questions as students created their timelines. They also started to make the connection with me being in the room that this might have some math involved in it.
On the second day, as the students were finishing their timelines, we presented them with the math portion. As they identified key points historically, we heard them using mathematical language and vocabulary terms as they talked about undecagons, parallel slopes, parabolas, intersecting lines, exponential growth, etc. It was really cool to see students make connections and hypothesize using their knowledge from both classes. We encouraged students to work together because the questions we gave them ranged in topics from both Algebra II and geometry. Each group had students from both classes and therefore they were able to be experts in the subject they were taking. Walking around helping students work through the assignment, I overheard two students talking about interdisciplinary learning and caught the end of their conversation on tape. Hearing them voice their appreciation for interdisciplinary learning really made it all worth it!
Yesterday I finished grading the math portion of the timelines and was sitting with the English teacher during our monthly Saturday school when she asked me, “so, would you do it again?” My immediate answer was, “YES!!” I think that asking students to use mathematical evidence in their explanations of what was happening historically made them think deeper. I also think they were able to synthesize better by using logical mathematical thinking. Additionally the featured image at the top of this post is one that we were very impressed by. She spent time finding key images and icons from each empire and finished her timeline with detailed watercolors. It made us think of the possibilities…perhaps students could design a timeline based on different aspects of each empire (religion, architecture, art, etc.) I think there is so much more we can do and definitely lots to think about. Over the next few weeks students will continue to learn in their World History classes about each empire and add to their timelines in order to create a large final timeline in groups…so more to come!!

# Two More Review Games to Try Out
We played two different review games this week in Algebra II and Geometry. I gladly give credit to the two blogs hyperlinked throughout this post after seeing my students highly engaged and excited to do math practice with the addition of these two games.
The first game is one I call “The Laundry Game” and we played it before a geometry quiz. This game can be applied to any content and any grade level even though I actually found it on a 3rd grade blog. I love this game because it takes a normal review and adds movement, competition, and immediate feedback. My intern and I were talking about how changing the format of a routine review into this game makes students do so many more problems than they normally would. I changed it up a bit by providing the answers at each station rather than having students come to me to check. That way they could check their own work and then the teacher could be facilitating and answering questions. At the end, we drew their names from the buckets, awarded prizes, and then explained the reasoning behind the name, “The Laundry Game.” We told them when they go home that night, they will find the problems they need to review again in their pockets with their laundry!
The second game we played is a BINGO game that I found here. We played this as addition to a normal practice day. I have seen and played BINGO before in the classroom, but I love how this one gives choice to students and the downloadable file is already made for you to give to students…so easy! My students LOVED this…after the first student won, several kids shouted out, “can we keep playing?!” Little did they know, they were implying, can we keep practicing logs!!
# Teams-Games-Tournament
I am always looking for new review games to use before a quiz or a test. This year, we have played Team-Games-Tournament (TGT) several times and have had great success with student mastery and engagement. This game is a cooperative learning strategy that is discussed further in “The Strategic Teacher” by Silver, Strong, and Perini. In their book, they explain the reasons why this strategy works with the number one reason being that “TGT incorporates the best of cooperation and competition.” Furthermore, it “highlights interdependence among group members, holds students individually accountable…promotes positive face-to-face interaction, builds small-group skills such as communication and conflict resolution, and encourages group processing so that students use their reflections to become better team members.” There is a bit of prep work on the teacher before hand to possibly reformat your review, create the playing cards, and make color-coded copies (my interns wonderful suggestion) for each role, but it proves very worthwhile. As compared to other review games that require the teacher to reteach or be the leader, this game is student centered and the teacher can now simply be a facilitator while students take ownership in playing, coaching, and teaching each other.
I typically give students a review sheet for the test the day before we are going to play the tournament. I give them some class time and/or assign the evens for homework. By only doing half, students are familiar with the material, but still need to review more the next day. The following day during the tournament, they will complete all the review questions. When they draw one they have already done they are instructed to do it again on a whiteboard (or a scratch piece of paper), whereas when they draw an odd question they should do it on the actual review. This gives them repetition of review and complete mastery of the content. The first time using this strategy, students will need the directions read to them and seen posted on the board. However, after a few rounds, the game becomes very clear and natural. I have loved watching students coach each other through the work while also competing with positive interactions.
Here are some directions that you can display for students as well as teacher notes to further clarify. Let me know if you play and what you thought!

# MatHistory
I’m getting really excited for a new idea the world history teacher and I have been brainstorming for a few weeks. We are working to intertwine some math content when he teaches Eurasian Empire power scale timelines. He came to me with this thought that math could somehow be modeled in the drawings and as soon as I saw the previous year’s final products, my math brain started running! We started drafting the actual questions today and we are going to continue to formulate our ideas until we present it to our students next week (I’m sure there will be revisions even as we are presenting it to the students…forever in reflection of our craft). Here is the link to our questions and above is the image of our thought process…but stay tuned for the final student materials and some finished products!
# Nuclear Culture
We just finished a 3 week long interdisciplinary unit on nuclear energy. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with the same core sophomore teachers for the past three years. We have grown together personally which I think in turn has had a positive effect on our students learning (supported by The Washington Post here), and we have also accomplished a lot professionally together. We started out three years ago trying to become more unified in our teaching approaches with simple ideas like wearing the same t-shirt on the same day. Needless to say, that wasn’t quite an authentic learning opportunity for students. Our approach evolved into us using the same vocabulary word somewhere in our dialogue throughout the week in hopes that our students would catch on and use it for their “personal dictionary” assignment in English. I definitely learned a lot of new words, but again, this was such a simple daily act and we knew we could do more!
With the help of our Trinity University interns a couple years ago, our most unified approach was created- a UbD unit centered around nuclear chemistry with lesson plans in English, world history, geometry, and Algebra II. (I have to plug an incredible master’s program here that prepares student teachers with a high level of understanding about teaching pedagogy and practice). This unit has gone through three years of revision and I have to say, the way in which everything came together this year, I think it was the our best year yet!
The first year we did the project we were not able to incorporate math because it did not fit with the scope and sequence. I still remember hearing one student mumble, “you know, we’re studying nuclear energy n every subject except math.” My heart sank and I knew I was going to find a way to make it happen! The next year, I decided to switch the sequence of our curriculum and teach exponents at the beginning of the spring semester when the nuclear culture unit started. Working with my Trinity intern that year, we created investigative lesson plans where students discovered how radioactive elements decay. Understanding asymptotes also helped students see that nuclear waste will never reach 0. We then discussed the implications for using nuclear energy based on exponential growth and decay and exponential properties. This year, I added the geometry component and solidified the inclusion of math in the unit. After my students learned about proving congruent triangles, I went into the English/World History combined classes and introduced their persuasive essay by asking students to write an outline in a mathematical proof format (I was lucky to have another intern this year and she taught a great lesson on truss strength involving triangle properties this day while I was teaching in the other room…I’ll save that post for another day). I loved how the proof writing gave my geometry students the chance to be experts on the topic they just learned and were able to refresh the Algebra II students how to write proofs. Also, the English teacher loved the way they provided evidence for their essays and did some formulaic pre-writing before jumping on a computer to type their essays. Finally, after the culminating day of the project (a “town council meeting” to debate whether we should pursue nuclear energy in San Antonio), the World History teacher created a graph where the x-axis was labeled as a continuum from “San Antonio should not pursue nuclear energy” to “San Antonio should pursue nuclear energy” and the y-axis was a continuum with “the US should not pursue nuclear energy” to “the US should pursue nuclear energy”. Students then plotted their personal opinion as a visual representation for further dialogue.
My heart is full after this unit and I loved hearing quotes like this: “I like the way every class was included in this unit because we understood all perspectives.”
# One of My Favorite Projects
I am starting off blogging by sharing one of my favorite projects that I created with my dean a few years ago. After attending a conference at Southwest Research Institute, I got inspired to do a project that would help students connect their learning of quadratics to the real world. I decided to make it about projectiles. I dreamed of getting to launch projectiles across the math classroom, but had no idea how to make this possible. After talking with my dean who is essentially a physics guru, he helped my dream become a reality. Below you will find the process and some reflections on the project.
First, we modeled a projectile using LoggerPro software and found the quadratic equation. This equation became the central focus for our students to manipulate. We asked them to find the vertex form, x-intercepts, y-intercept, and the domain and range. The fun part came on the second day of the project. We hung tennis balls in the back of the room and gave each group (groups of 3-4 students) a different height at which they would set their equation to. Using the quadratic formula, they solved their equation for the x-distance at which to launch the projectile. If their calculations were correct, they would successfully hit the tennis ball. With safety goggles on, measuring sticks in hand, and genuinely excited emotions, each group stepped up to the projectile launcher to try out their solutions. Some chose to set the launcher at the farthest distance for more fun, and some chose to go the safe route and try the closer distance. Several groups hit the target on the first try which was so fun to to watch the teamwork of their groups as they high-fived and congratulated each other. The groups that didn’t hit the target on the first try realized they needed to watch for the human error of lining the projectile launcher up straight. By the end of each class period, each group had successfully hit the target and proved their math calculations correct.
I love this project because it’s an authentic way to check their work. Also, my first couple years of doing this, I connected it to space science by having a hook that the students were trying to blast a near earth object out of our orbit (Armageddon style). Two years ago, my sophomore team and I designed a full interdisciplinary unit on Nuclear Culture. So to connect it to this, I changed the theme up a bit and had students watch a video about NATO’s ballistic missile defense program and then act as if they were helping NATO use projectiles to intercept incoming harmful missiles. Students were able to communicate their reasoning behind advantages and disadvantages of using technology like this and what might happen if we were successful or unsuccessful in hitting their target. I loved that students made connections, communicated coherently, problem solved, and found reasoning and proof (all performance outcomes that the math department at my school tries to achieve) in one single project!

I'm trying to determine the formula of a variable frequency sine wave based on the values of max1, max2, min1 and min2. y(0) isn't necessarily 0 and I can assume the frequency increases or decreases linearly (I only want to plot the first couple oscillations).
I've figured the formula for the non-modulated signal (based only on max1 and min1) as the following:
$y(x) = sin(2π*f*x + C)$ where
$f=\frac{1}{2\left(\max _1-\min _1\right)}$ and $C = -\left(max_1-\frac{\left(max_1-min_1\right)}{2}\right)\cdot \frac{\pi }{\left(max_1-min_1\right)}$
I've also figured that plotting:
$y(x) = sin(2π*(f+M(x))*x)$ where
$M(x)= a*x + b$
results in an increasing frequency signal but I can't figure out the exact formula to have the wave match the data points.
Any help would be much appreciated, my math skills are rusty...
• Is it safe to assume it's actually linear Fm ? – Stanley Pawlukiewicz Jun 12 '17 at 17:10
If your function is $y(x)=\sin(2\pi fx+C)$, and you have data points $\{x_i,y_i\}$, then finding $C$ is easy, if you suppose $x=0$ then $C=\arcsin(y(0))$.
Now, according to your plot your frequency varies with $x$. The first thing you need to do is to know how does your frequency vary with $x$. Supposedly this variation is linear, then you write: $f(x)=ax+b$ and your function model becomes $y(x)=\sin(2\pi f(x)x+C)$.
The problem now is finding (an estimate for) $f(x)$. You have two unknowns to determine $a$ and $b$, you need two data points ($\{x_1,y_1\}, \{x_2,y_2\}$) and you solve a system of two (nonlinear) equations with two unknowns.
$$\begin{cases} y_1=\sin(2\pi (ax_1+b) x_1+C)\\ y_2=\sin(2\pi (ax_2+b) x_2+C) \end{cases}$$
Since frequency is the derivative of phase, a linear frequency curve implies a quadratic phase curve. So we have $y(x)=\cos(\phi(x))$ with $\phi(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ and \begin{aligned}\phi(max_1)&=0\\\phi(min_1)&=\pi\\\phi(max_2)&=2\pi\\\phi(min_2)&=3\pi.\end{aligned} This is actually a simple system of linear equations, but it is over-determined. If we omit $min_2$ and ask Maxima (open-source CAS) to solve it, we get \begin{aligned}a=&\frac{\pi max_2+\pi max_1−2 \pi min_1}{d}\\b=& \frac{2 \pi min_1^2-\pi max_2^2-\pi max_1^2}{d}\\c=&\frac{max_1 (\pi max_2^2−2 \pi min_1^2)+max_1^2 (2 \pi min_1−\pi max_2)}{d}\end{aligned} with $$d=max_2 min_1^2+max_1 (max_2^2−min_1^2)+max_1^2 (min_1−max_2)−max_2^2 min_1.$$ | 839 | 2,422 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 1, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.984375 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | longest | en | 0.878373 |

When $p$ and $q$ are propositions such that "if $p$ then $q$" (which is an implication) is false only in the condition when $p$ (which is hypothesis) is true but $q$ (which is conclusion) is false.
But I couldn't understand why will the implication be true when the hypothesis itself is false. Shouldn't the implication be false when the initial assumption or hypothesis is false ?

• The closure of this question happened when I was typing an answer... Shoot :). Note that, if you let "$A \Rightarrow B$ holds" be defined by "$\overline{A}$ or $B$ holds", then from the definition of "or" you can answer your question directly. Intuitively speaking, you may view the rule of inference this way. If your teacher promise you (weirdly) that "if you get an A+ this time, then you can graduate directly from then on under my permission", then when will he break the promise? When and only when you get an A+ that time and he does not make your graduation happen! – Megadeth Aug 16 '17 at 12:24
This has been answered many many times on this site, but here is a simple reason. If one would use any other truth table for $P\to Q$ it would no longer mean what it is supposed to. If the hypothesis $P$ is true, then everyone agrees that $P\to Q$ should hold if and only if $Q$ does. Now suppose the hypothesis $P$ is false. If one would define (as you suggest) $P\to Q$ to be false in this case, regardless of $Q$, then $P\to Q$ would be true only if both $P$ and $Q$ are true, making it a symmetric operation for which we already have a name (namely "and", written $P\land Q$). If instead when $P$ is false we would define $P\to Q$ to be true only if $Q$ is, then the meaning of $P\to Q$ would ignore the status of the hypothesis $P$ completely, and be equivalent to $Q$. Finally if when $P$ is false we would define $P\to Q$ to be true only if $Q$ is false, then $P\to Q$ would be true if any only if $P$ and $Q$ have the same truth value, again a symmetric relation that does not reflect what we mean by implication. So the only reasonable option is the define, when the hypothesis is false, the relation $P\to Q$ to be true regardless of $Q$. | 801 | 2,974 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.53125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | latest | en | 0.913423 |

Changing the subject of formua with squares and roots
I have tried answering the following question by squaring everything (I think), but I am not right.
c = $\displaystyle \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ (Change the subject of
the formula to a)
My try:
$\displaystyle c^2$ = $\displaystyle (a^2)^2+(b^2)^2$
$\displaystyle c^2$ = $\displaystyle a^4+b^4$
$\displaystyle a^4$ = $\displaystyle c^2-b^4$
a = $\displaystyle sqrt[4]{c^2-b^4}$
Can you see my error please?

HI
you are correct by squarring both sides to get rid of the square root but you worked it out wrongly .
$\displaystyle (c)^2=(\sqrt{a^2+b^2})^2$
$\displaystyle c^2=a^2+b^2$
$\displaystyle a^2=c^2-b^2$
$\displaystyle a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

given that (2x + 50) : (3x + 30)= 5:6
solving we get x = 14

$\frac{\sqrt{9 - {x}^{2}}}{x} , - 3 \le x \le 3$.
#### Explanation:
Let $a = \arccos \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) \in Q 1 \mathmr{and} Q 2 , - 1 \le \frac{x}{3} \le 1$, and so, $- 3 \le x \le 3$
Then, $\cos a = \frac{x}{3} , \sin a = \sqrt{1 - {\cos}^{2} a} = \sqrt{1 - {x}^{2} / 9}$,
Now, the given expression is
$\tan a = \sin \frac{a}{\cos} a$

Nature as Miser
A POPULIST IS SOMEONE WHO who believes scarcity is a capitalist plot. If only social arrangements were otherwise, he believes, mankind would enjoy a boundless cornucopia of goods and never want again. The populist thus assumes that our current economic institutions, such as the price system, are merely devices controlled by producers to withhold needed goods and to gouge the public.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Scarcity is a permanent feature of nature resulting from several facts:
Individuals can be in only one place at a time. They generally can do only one thing at a time. They have limited life spans. (Time is scarce.) A hunk of matter devoted to purpose A cannot simultaneously be devoted to purpose B.
Consequently, tradeoffs are mandatory and ubiquitous.
But facing these limits are the unlimited wants of individuals. That combination of limited means and unlimited ends should have been a recipe for tragedy. Yet mankind (with some exceptions) does not face the sort of struggle for survival animals in the wild face.
How have we managed to avoid the Malthusian curse?
One way that we did it — as the Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus himself acknowledged in later editions of his famous Essay on the Principle of Population — is “moral restraint.” Put simply, people do not have all the children they can have. Even where the birthrate is highest, fecundity is well below fertility.
Moral restraint is an example of a more general characteristic of human beings. Possessing a conceptual faculty, including self-consciousness, we can be aware of our situations and act accordingly as no other animals can.
Guided by reason we can substantially change our environment; we can imagine and innovate; we can discover and appreciate the value of the division of labor.
As Ludwig von Mises wrote in Human Action,
The very condition from which the irreconcilable conflicts of biological competition arise — viz., the fact that all people by and large strive after the same things — is transformed into a factor making for harmony of interests.
Ponder that: the human race began under the shadow of two uncomfortable facts. Its members have unlimited and virtually identical wants, and nature is a miser. That should have led to endless fang-and-claw conflict. Instead, something quite opposite occurred: in Mises’s words, life-enhancing “catallactic [market] competition” replaced life-threatening biological competition.
How is that paradox to be resolved? Mises had an answer:
Because many people or even all people want bread, clothes, shoes, and cars, large-scale production of these goods becomes feasible and reduces the costs of production to such an extent that they are accessible at low prices. The fact that my fellow man wants to acquire shoes as I do, does not make it harder for me to get shoes, but easier. [Emphasis added.]
Markets, prices, and profitsl
The system of social cooperation we call the free market is what keeps life from being a war of all against all. Our lives depend on it. If more people understood that, they might not so casually propose ways to sabotage it.
The market order is so good at easing (but not erasing) scarcity that most people forget (or never learn) that only it stands between us and the Hobbesian state of nature. They have no idea how rough life was just a short time ago. (Somewhat relevant factoid: When Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, the state’s nickname was changed from “Land of Opportunity” to “The Natural State.” In light of the above, that bespeaks volumes.) Since the economically ignorant do not know what life would be like without the market, they have no idea what it makes possible. Worse, when something happens that they don’t like, they can think of nothing but to blame capitalism. They are helped in that effort by an intellectual class that despises markets even as it owes its existence to them.
The price system is an easy target because its function is not intuitively grasped. It is a communications network for coping with scarcity. Since at any given moment nature forbids us to have everything we want, we must make tradeoffs. If we want more computers, we’ll have to do with fewer washing machines or stereos. The tricky question is, how can we tell producers what to make? One reason socialism — which abolishes the price system by forbidding property and trade in the means of production — fails is that central planners can’t make production decisions according to consumers’ preferences even if they want to.
In markets, producers make investments on the basis of prices and expected returns. They must pay attention to the prices of the labor, machines, materials, and land they need to make their products. If consumers are willing to pay only $2 for an item, no producer can afford to spend $3 on the components needed to make it. That’s a recipe for bankruptcy. Consumers are in effect telling producers, “Don’t make that item. Make something for which we are willing to pay more than $3.”
Profit (the money left over after all expenses are paid) is how consumers indicate to producers what tradeoffs they are willing to make in a world of scarcity. Producers are rewarded for creating value and penalized for destroying it. If a producer can take $3 worth of components and change them into something consumers are willing to pay $4 for, he has created $1 in value. But if he takes those same components and makes something consumers are willing to pay only $2 for, he has destroyed value.
The genius of the market is that, left free, it relentlessly induces people to create value for consumers and ease the conditions of scarcity. Today people generally have more than their parents and grandparents had, even though there has been no increase in the amount of matter available from which to make things.
The hazards of economic ignorance
As a case study in economic ignorance, consider the Fox News Channel’s populist star, Bill O’Reilly, and his recent charge that the oil companies conspired to raise gasoline prices. He quoted a 1995 Chevron memo stating that refining capacity was too great and profits too low. In much of the 1990s, you’ll recall, gasoline prices were historically low, and profits were down. Adjusted for inflation, prices nationwide were lower than in 1950.
Apparently the other oil companies agreed that prices in the mid 1990s were too low to justify the level of production. To O’Reilly, that is prima facie evidence of collusion to harm consumers. Naturally, he called on the Bush administration to investigate. (Even the Clinton administration was unable to find evidence of collusion.)
Where does O’Reilly go wrong? If gasoline is selling for, say, $1 a gallon, the oil companies will not — cannot — make investments equivalent to, say, $1.10 a gallon. Intentionally going broke is no way to lower consumer prices. Furthermore, they won’t invest for a smaller return if the money can bring a larger return some other way. Is there something nefarious about that? Not if you understand the price system as a signaling device.
To maintain or build refineries, the oil companies would have had to hire workers and buy capital goods and materials. But makers of other products also wanted to hire those workers and buy those things. None of them could afford to pay more for the components than consumers were willing to pay for the final products. A bidding process occurred, with the winner being the producers who made the things consumers were willing to pay the most for. Prices are how we signal what we want produced. In the 1990s the oil companies were outbid because we signaled that we wanted other things produced more than we wanted additional gasoline. Had the oil companies built the refineries anyway, we would have had to do without those other things.
Thus the implication of O’Reilly’s diatribe is not only that the oil companies should have produced more gasoline than we consumers wanted, but that other companies should have produced fewer of the things we did want.
That’s typical for a populist. Posing as a man of the people, he actually seeks to substitute his preferences for ours.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Let T: V---->V be a linear operator where dim V=n. Show that V
has a basis of eigenvectors if and only if V has a basis B such that
TB is diagonal.
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
Let T=[a1,1......an,1] ai,j=/=0
[a1,n......an,n]
Let TB=[a1,1v1......0n,1]
[01,n.......an,nvn]
Since this is diagonal, and ai,j=/=0,
then we have a basis of eigenvectors (these are meant to be vertical)<[v1,...0]......[0.....vn]>
that, after being mulitplied by T, formed the matrix TB.
To show that they are eigenvectors, a possible linear combination is
[v1,...0] and when multiplied by T gives a1,1[v1,...0]+...+a1,n[v1,....0]
=(a1,1+...+a1,n)[v1,....0]. Since [v1,....0] is an eigenvector, and
the others follow the same logic, mulitplying the basis of eigenvectors by T
should produce a diagonal matrix, as shown.

### jbunniii
Suppose V has a basis $$B=\{b_1,\ldots,b_n\}$$ consisting of eigenvectors of T. Then for each j, $$T b_j = \lambda_j b_j$$. If I express this equation in terms of the basis B, then
$$[T]_B [b_j]_B = \lambda_j [b_j]_B$$
But $$[b_j]_B$$ is simply a column vector containing all zeros except for a 1 in the j'th position. Carrying out the matrix multiplication then shows that
$$[T]_B = \Lambda$$
where $$\Lambda$$ is the diagonal matrix whose diagonal entries are $$\{\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n\}$$. This gives you one direction of the proof. For the other direction, you can essentially reverse the steps above to verify that the $$\lambda_j$$'s must be eigenvalues and the $$b_j$$'s must be eigenvectors.
3. Jun 12, 2009
### evilpostingmong
Yeah, I did the other direction by assuming that TB is diagonal then showing that
the basis consists of eigenvectors and that TB consists of eigenvalues, though I
think I messed up when I mentioned a1,1+...+a1,n is an eigenvalue since I multiplied wrong.
It should be a1,1 for the eigenvalue of [v1.....0]. Made a mistake with multiplication.
Oh and when I said "then we have a basis of eigenvectors" I shouldn't've called
the basis of eigenvectors a basis of eigenvectors, since I was proving it in the first place,
and I should've called the scalar an eigenvalue. It's these small mistakes that make a big
difference.

null | null | null | null | null | null | Temporary Blindness
Go to a mirror and look at either of your eyes. Then, while keeping your head still, look at the other one. As you do this, your gaze will change targets, as you are now looking at something different than before. But your eyes will not appear to move.
Now, go find a friend and repeat the experiment. Ask him or her to tell you if they see your eyes move as you glance from one eye to the other. Invariably, they will tell you that your eyes did indeed move — and obviously so. Switch roles and the illusion becomes obvious: your friend, staring into the mirror, is moving his or her eyes — but unlike the rest of the world, sees no movement.
What’s going on here? Our brains are protecting themselves from the fuzzy, blurry imagery which we’d otherwise “see” as our eyes glance quickly from point to point. That movement — called a “saccade” (pronounced “sah-COD”) — is simply too quick for our brains to deal with. So the brains, in effect, ignore what the eye sees, in a phenomenom called “saccadic masking.” Instead of processing and recording the blurred image otherwise caused by the eye movement, the brain replaces that milliseconds-long moment with a still image of the second item your eyes look at. This image replacement aspect can create an eerie effect if one quickly darts his or her eyes at an analog clock, causing the clock’s second hand to appear momentarily frozen in time (known as the “stopped clock effect“). It also is the reason why the image, above, seems to move — even though it is entirely static. (A larger version of the image, and more like it, can be found here.)
During these saccadic masking moments, we are, effectively, blind. According to some, these tiny moments of time lost down the memory hole add up to as much as 30-45 minutes a day — leaving us temporarily blind for roughly 2% of our lives.
Bonus fact: The eyes of most birds do not move. In order to keep their world from bouncing around as they walk, fly, or wobble, these birds have developed the ability keep their heads nearly perfectly still even if the rest of their bodies are in motion. Need proof? Watch this video of a chicken keeping its head stationary, even while the narrator moves the chicken’s body in multiple directions.

### Jacobpm64
I have two problems.. I'll put them both here, and show my work on both of them.
1. Is this function continuous on [-1, 1]?
f(x) =
x / |x| , x does not equal 0
0 , x = 0
After graphing this function, the first statement gives y = -1 for all x < 0, and y = 1 for all x > 0. The second statement makes y = 0 when x = 0. Putting everything together, y values are defined at -1, 0, 1, but nothing in-between. Does this make the function not continuous because of the jumping at x = 0?
2.
Discuss the continuity of the function g:
g(x) =
sin x / x , for x does not equal 0
1/2 , for x = 0
There is a hole in the graph at x = 0 (for the first statement), but the second statement defines x = 0 to be 1/2, it's just lower than the curve in the first statement. Would this be a continuous function or not?
2. Sep 12, 2006
### steve23063
There are two types of discontinuities but I'll get to that later. A function is discontinuous if you can't draw the entire graph without picking your pencil off the paper. In question 2, you say there's a point just below the rest of the graph. Clearly you can't draw the entire graph unless you pick up your pencil off the paper so it's discontinuous. The same goes for question 1.
The two questions have different types of discontinuities. In question 2, only 1 point is off of the rest of the graph. The point at x=0. In question one, you have an infinite number of points that are off the rest of the graph (in this case they just don't exist). There is an infinite number of points between -1 and 0 and between 0 and 1 (for example .01, .001, .009, etc are all undefined). Question 2 has a finite discontinuity because you can count how many points are off the rest of the graph. Question 1 has inifinite discontinuity.
The "picking up the pencil" explanation is just a simple way to think about it. You should really get used to thinking about it in terms of left and right sided limits but I assume you already learned that stuff.
EDIT: Hey sorry I misread something in question 1. There is only 1 point that is discontinuous so it has a finite discontinuity, not infinite as I first said.

### d_leet
I think most people would consider at least 3 types of discontinuity, the first being a hole where a single point is missing from teh curve, nex being a jump discontinuity where the function seems to jump to a different function at some point (this is not the best way to explain this) and the third being an infinite discontinuity where the function is undefined at a point, typ[ically because of division by zero. Your analysis of question one seems correct, but at question 2 there are not an infinite number of discontinuities but only one at x equals 0, the function is continuous on either side of 0, but has a jump discontinuity at x=0. And the points corresponding to x= .01, .001, .009 all do exist so I'm not sure what you meant by that.

I think you misread what I typed :) . I wrote:

5. Sep 12, 2006
### d_leet
What I said still stands but I said question one when I meant two and vice versa.
The function defined in question one IS defined for all values of x on [-1,1], but there is a jump discontinuity at x=0, it is not an infinite discontinuity.

### steve23063
Oh, really sorry. The original poster wrote: "y values are defined at -1, 0, 1, but nothing in-between." I wasn't paying attention and just noticed the words "nothing in-between" and ignored the [-1,1] domain info. Yes you're right and I'll edit my first post. It is a finite discontinuity

The definition of "continuous at x= a" is
$$\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)= f(a)$$
What are the limits of the functions in 1 and 2 as x goes to 0?

thanks everyone... I was trying to do it without using limits because we haven't gotten there yet... (we're still in the introductory review chapter of the calculus book..).. I've done it with limits before in my high school calculus class, but we haven't gotten to it yet in this college calculus... But, I understand all of the explanations, thanks.

# Ulaby Problem 1.14
## Problem Statement
A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10m, and an amplitude of 81.87 (V/m) at a depth of 100 m. What is the attenuaton constant of seawater? 1
### Analysis
When we have a sinusoidal wave in a lossy medium, we need to use and attenuation factor:
$y(x,t) = Ae^{-\alpha x} \cos{(\omega t - \beta x + \phi_0)}$
Where $$-\alpha$$ is the attenuation constant with units of $$1/m$$. The units of nepers per meter, $$Np/m$$, refer to the attenuation constant.
### Solution
Let’s set the two observations equal to each other, and then solve for the attenuation constant.
\begin{aligned} 98.02e^{-\alpha 10} &= 81.87e^{-\alpha 100} \\ \frac{98.02e^{-\alpha 10}}{81.87} &= e^{-\alpha 100} \\ \frac{98.02}{81.87} &= \frac{e^{-\alpha 100}}{e^{-\alpha 10}} \\ \frac{98.02}{81.87} &= e^{(-\alpha 100 - -\alpha 10)} \\ \frac{98.02}{81.87} &= e^{-\alpha (100 - 10)} \\ \ln{\left( \frac{98.02}{81.87} \right)} &= -\alpha 90 \\ \frac{\ln{\left( \frac{98.02}{81.87} \right)}}{-90} &= \alpha \\ \alpha &= \boxed{0.02 \; (Np/m)} \\\end{aligned}

Population Density
Population density tells us how many people are living in a given location. It is often given in people per $\text{km}^2$, which means in an area, approximately how many people live in each $\text{km}^2$
Level 4-5GCSEWJEC
Calculating Population Density
To calculate population density, you need to know the population of an area and the size of an area.
The equation for population density is:
$\text{Population density} = \dfrac{\text{Population}}{\text{Land Area}}$
If somewhere is crowded, it will have a high population density, and if somewhere is sparsely populated, it will have a low population density.
Level 4-5GCSEWJEC
Level 4-5GCSEWJEC
Example 1: Calculating Population Density
Calculate the population density of Boston given that it has a population of $650000$ and an area of $230\text{ km}^2$.
[2 marks]
To calculate this, we will use the equation.
$\text{Population density} = \dfrac{\text{Population}}{\text{Land Area}}$
$\text{Population density} = \dfrac{650000}{230}$
$\text{Population density} = 2826\text{ people}/\text{km}^2$ to the nearest whole number.
Level 4-5GCSEWJEC
Example 2: Using the Equation
San Francisco has a population density of $1350\text{ people}/\text{km}^2$ and a population of $810000$
Work out the area of San Francisco.
[3 marks]
We will use the equation again, but will have to rearrange it:
$\text{Population density} = \dfrac{\text{Population}}{\text{Land Area}}$
$1350 = \dfrac{810000}{\text{Land Area}}$
Rearrange:
$\text{Land Area} = \dfrac{810000}{1350}$
$\text{Land Area} = 600\text{ km}^2$
Level 4-5GCSEWJEC
Population Density Example Questions
$\text{Population Density}=210000\div270\\$ $= 778\text{ people}/\text{km}^2$
Gold Standard Education
Birmingham:
Population density $= 1200000\div270\\$
Population density $=4444\text{ people}/\text{km}^2$
Manchester:
Population density $= 500000\div115\\$
Population density $=4347\text{ people}/\text{km}^2$
Therefore, Birmingham has a higher population density.

Put the figures we know into the equation:
$4546=\dfrac{\text{Population size}}{110}$

Instructions:
• Enter the initial velocity (u), acceleration (a), and time (t).
• Click "Calculate" to find the displacement (s).
• Click "Clear" to reset the form.
• Click "Copy Result" to copy the displacement to the clipboard.
Calculation History
## What is Displacement?
Displacement refers to the change in the position or location of an object or a point in space, measured from a reference point or starting position. It is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude (the distance covered) and direction (the path taken). Displacement is used in physics and engineering to describe the change in an object’s position over time.
1. Vector Quantity: Displacement is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction. This means that not only the distance matters but also the specific path or route taken to get from one point to another.
2. Reference Point: Displacement is measured relative to a reference point or a starting position. It tells you how far and in which direction an object has moved from this reference point.
3. SI Unit: The SI (International System of Units) unit for displacement is the meter (m) since it represents a change in position in three-dimensional space. In one-dimensional motion (e.g., along a straight line), displacement can be measured in meters as well.
4. Positive and Negative Displacement: Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the direction of motion. Positive displacement indicates movement in one direction, while negative displacement implies movement in the opposite direction. Zero displacement means no net change in position.
## All Formulae Related to Displacement
Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the change in the position of an object or point in space. Here are some key formulae related to displacement:
1. Displacement Formula (Vector Form):
• Displacement (Δr or 𝐝) = Final Position (𝐫_f) – Initial Position (𝐫_i)
• Δr = 𝐫_f – 𝐫_i
• This formula gives the vector displacement, which has both magnitude and direction.
2. Displacement Magnitude:
• The magnitude of displacement (|Δr| or |𝐝|) is the absolute value of the vector and represents the shortest distance between the initial and final positions.
• |Δr| = |𝐫_f – 𝐫_i|
3. Displacement in One Dimension:
• In one-dimensional motion along a straight line, the displacement (Δx) is given by:
• Δx = x_f – x_i
• Where Δx is the displacement, x_f is the final position, and x_i is the initial position.
4. Average Displacement (Vector Form):
• The average displacement (Δr_avg) over a period of time (Δt) is calculated as:
• Δr_avg = (𝐫_f – 𝐫_i) / Δt
5. Instantaneous Displacement (Vector Form):
• The instantaneous displacement at a specific time (t) is given by:
• Δr_instantaneous = 𝐫(t) – 𝐫_i
• Where 𝐫(t) represents the position of the object at time t.
6. Average Speed (Scalar Quantity):
• Average speed (v_avg) is defined as the total distance traveled (d_total) divided by the total time (Δt_total) taken:
• v_avg = d_total / Δt_total
7. Average Velocity (Vector Quantity):
• Average velocity (𝐯_avg) is calculated as the total displacement (Δr) divided by the total time (Δt) taken:
• 𝐯_avg = Δr / Δt
8. Instantaneous Velocity (Vector Quantity):
• The instantaneous velocity at a specific time (t) is given by the derivative of the position vector 𝐫(t) with respect to time:
• 𝐯_instantaneous = d𝐫/dt
## Applications of Displacement Calculator in Various Fields
A displacement calculator, which helps determine changes in position or location, has numerous applications in various fields. This tool is particularly useful for measuring distances and movements accurately. Here are some common applications of a displacement calculator across different domains:
1. Physics and Engineering:
• In physics, displacement calculators are used to analyze the motion of objects, including calculating distances traveled and velocity.
• Engineers use displacement calculations to design and optimize structures, machines, and systems.
• GPS devices and navigation systems rely on displacement calculations to determine precise locations and provide directions.
• In geodesy, displacement calculators help track tectonic plate movement and monitor land deformations.
3. Surveying and Cartography:
• Land surveyors use displacement calculators to measure distances and angles for mapping, land development, and construction projects.
• Cartographers use displacement calculations to create accurate maps and charts.
4. Astronomy and Space Exploration:
• Astronomers use displacement calculations to track the positions and trajectories of celestial objects, planets, and spacecraft.
• Space agencies employ displacement calculators to plot spacecraft routes and mission planning.
5. Transportation and Logistics:

Here are a couple of definitions, if somebody forgot them
Almost all the definitions could be found at Wikipedia.
Correlation in mathematical statistics is a probability and statistical dependence without any strict functional nature. In contrast to functional dependence, the correlation dependence occurs when one of the attributes depends not only on the given second attribute but also on many random factors, or when among the conditions on which the attributes are depending, there are common conditions for both of them.
The mathematical measure of the correlation of two random variables is correlation coefficient.
Some types of correlation coefficients may be positive or negative (there is also the possibility of the lack of statistical relationship - for example, for independent random variables). If it is assumed that the precedence relation is defined on the variables' values, then the negative correlation - the correlation, where the increase of one variable is associated with the decrease of the other variable, though the correlation coefficient can be negative.
The positive correlation in such conditions is a correlation, where an increase of one variable is associated with an increase of another variable, and the correlation coefficient can be positive.
If the value modulus is closer to 1, there is strong coupling, and if closer to 0 - the coupling is weak or nonexistent. When the correlation coefficient is equal to 1 by the value modulus, people suggest a mathematical function can describe a functional relationship, i.e., the changes of two quantities.
Pearson correlation coefficient is most commonly known (Karl Pearson, English mathematician, 1857-1936), characterizing the degree of linear dependence between the variables. It is defined as
$R_{X,Y}=\frac{M[XY]-M[X]M[Y]}{\sqrt{(M[X^2]-(M[X])^2)}\sqrt{(M[Y^2]-(M[Y])^2)}}$
Where M - the mathematical expectation.
There is nothing left to say - enter the random variables in the chart (you can delete the default numbers), and the calculator will define the correlation coefficient by Pearson's formula.

Chapter 6 (c) As we have mentioned in (a), the first equation in (6.7) implies that y = ( x + 5 x ) / 2. Substituting the solution x ( t ) yields y ( t ) = 1 2 c 1 cos t + c 2 sin t + c 3 cos 6 t + c 4 sin 6 t +5 c 1 cos t + c 2 sin t + c 3 cos 6 t + c 4 sin 6 t = 1 2 c 1 cos t c 2 sin t 6 c 3 cos 6 t 6 c 4 sin 6 t +5 c 1 cos t + c 2 sin t + c 3 cos 6 t + c 4 sin 6 t = 2 c 1 cos t + 2 c 2 sin t c 3 2 cos 6 t c 4 2 sin 6 t . (d) Initial conditions x (0) = y (0) = 1 and x (0) = y (0) = 0 imply the system of linear equations for c 1 , c 2 , c 3 , and c 4 . Namely, x (0) = c 1 + c 3 = 1 , y (0) = 2 c 1 ( c 3 / 2) = 1 , x (0) = c 2 + c 4 6 = 0 , y (0) = 2 c 2 ( c 4 6 / 2) = 0 c 1 = 3 / 5 , c 3 = 2 / 5 , c 2 = 0 , c 4 = 0 . Thus, the solution to this initial value problem is x ( t ) = 3 5 cos t + 2 5 cos 6 t , y ( t ) = 6 5 cos t 1 5 cos 6 t . 35.

## What is the highest number on a playing card?
Ranks. Ranks are indicated by numerals from 1 to 10 on spot cards. In addition, three court cards designated jack (formerly knave), queen, and king are notionally equivalent to 11, 12, and 13, respectively, though actually marked J, Q, and K.
What is the number on a playing card called?
There are 52 basic cards in a deck (not including the jokers). These cards have a suit and a number (called the value or rank).
How many number cards are in a deck?
The 52 cards are further divided into four suits, namely, spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds. Each suit contains a total of 13 cards each. In each of the suits, there are nine number cards from two to ten, a King, a Queen, an Ace, and a Jack.
### Is there a 1 in a deck of cards?
In each suit there are 13 cards including a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, a jack, a queen, a king and an ace. (Note that there is no 1.) A jack, a queen and a king are called picture cards.
Why is there no one in a deck of cards?
Because one is called the Ace. According to Wikipedia, the word Ace is derived from the Old French word “as” meaning unit. Why an ace instead of one?
How many red face cards are in a deck?
There are 12 face cards in the deck. 6 of the face cards are red (diamonds or hearts) and 6 of the face cards are black (spaces or clubs). let A be the event that you have a red card. Since there are 26 red cards in the deck, then p(A) = 26/52.
## Is Ace a number card in probability?
The card in each suit, are ace, king, queen, jack or knaves, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. King, Queen and Jack (or Knaves) are face cards. So, there are 12 face cards in the deck of 52 playing cards.
Is Ace a number card or a face card?
In playing cards the term face card is generally used to describe a card that depicts a person so King ,Queen and Jack are known as the face cards. Ace is not considered as the face card.
Are Aces face cards?
No, Aces are not face cards. Only J,Q,K are face cards.
### What order do face cards go in?
Give a shuffled deck to the group and ask them to arrange the cards in the order of Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 6,7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, and King along the Clubs, Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds.
What is the probability of choosing a face card from a deck?
What is the probability of getting not a face card?
6. A card that is not a face card is drawn. We know from question (1) that P(face card) = 3/13. Because the event “non-face card” is the complement to “face card,” P(non-face card) = 1 – P(face card) = 1 – 3/13 = 10/13.
## What is the probability of getting a face card or a heart?
Heart cards are 13 and face card are =12–3=9 as 3 face cards are of hearts. So probability of heart or face card is (13+9)/Nov 2017
What is the probability of getting a face card or a spade?
→ There are 13 spade cards and 12 face cards in a standard deck of 52 cards. BUT, 3 of those face cards are also spades, so what you have are 22 candidates for the draw, not 25. The odds are exactly 100% or zero, depending on what I want to happen.
What’s the probability of not drawing a heart?
There are 13 hearts and a total of 39 clubs, diamonds, and spades. The probability of not drawing a heart is 1-(1/4)=3/4 because probability is a number between 0 and 1 which indicates the likelihood that an event will occur. | 945 | 3,393 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.28125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2024-30 | latest | en | 0.971702 |

Billion dollar outsourcing of telecoms services to India. BT’s deal with Tech Mahindra is the first of many as the global shift in the telco power moves eastwards from the US and Europe to India and China. What does this mean for revenue assurance? Expect it to move in the same direction….

It looks like Christmas has not interrupted the wave of consolidation taking place in the revenue assurance industry. Rumours about niche UK vendor Cartesian being targeted have been shown to be true. The hot news is that management consultancy TMNG have bought out the outstanding shares in a deal currently worth US$7.3m but which may net Cartesian’s current owners another US$7.8m if they meet revenue and earnings targets over the next 4 years. However, you have to assume the growth targets will be pretty challenging given that Cartesian’s revenue for the year ending November was US$12.5m.
Doubtless TMNG, headquartered in Kansas, will spend 2007 trying to broaden sales to Cartesian’s existing European client list, as well as aiming to sell Cartesian’s software to customers of TMNG’s consulting services. And it may not be too miserable a Christmas for Cartesian’s London-based staff, who are said not to be facing job cuts, despite the international trend towards relocating software development and similar jobs to lower-cost countries. See here for the official press release on TMNG’s site, containing the usual quotes from the top men in TMNG and Cartesian. Interestingly, there is no news yet of the purchase on Cartesian’s recently revamped website, but they can be forgiven for not having anyone in over Christmas.
One question to ponder is where this leaves Cartesian’s revenue assurance “thought leadership” program. Presumably they will have to be wary of being inconsistent with the advice that TMNG already gives customers. It also raises the prospect of a geographical expansion of the predominantly UK-based service providers in Cartesian’s Revenue Assurance Group. Its current face-to-face meeting format makes it easy to get involvement from people wanting to enjoy a free lunch and several drinks at Cartesian’s expense, but puts a severe limit on its aspirations. One outcome may be that the format is altered to include TMNG’s US and overseas clients. (Possibly not – but these are supposed to be people working in the electronic communications industry so shame on them if they do not try). I have a topic of discussion that would get everyone involved. Their first debate can be about the assumption stated in this article that the Europeans are ahead of the US in their adoption of revenue assurance ;)

Regulators are very good at ensuring that money is wasted and that bad people profit from complicated and ill-conceived rules that supposedly benefit society. In the US, the FCC has been responsible for an incredibly complicated regulatory environment, which has enabled rather than prevented the problem of “phantom traffic”. Networks that carry phantom traffic find themselves unable to bill it because of gaps in the labelling of traffic. A lot of phantom traffic would be billable if the network carrying it just had simple additional data like the calling and called party. There is also much more than a suspicion that unscrupulous telcos are deliberately manipulating data to avoid being billed for traffic. So it is interesting to see that the telco industry can sometimes get its act together and work collectively to push for changes. Take a look at this article in Billing World about an alliance for consistent exchange and management of CDRs in the US. Is this a sign that, even in the US, the telco industry is starting to realise that you can only get the right regulatory framework if you agree the solution first, and involve the regulator second?

Tis the season when retailers hope to make some big bucks. Also, a lot less money is being given to charity. But it makes you feel good inside when it does. I was touched by this story partly because it mentions Sprint/Nextel’s Revenue Assurance department was one of the benefactors. Now that is a bit odd, when you think about it. Why just the RA department, and not other departments in Sprint/Nextel? And given the kinds of loss suffered by most telcos, was the money given by Sprint/Nextel from its recovered revenues or were the employees giving out of their own pay packets?
Anyhow, this all got me thinking. RA people often moan they lack executive sponsorship, and that it is hard to motivate other parts of the business to take RA seriously. But on the other hand, most big corporations want to be seen to be charitable to raise their profile in the community, get good press etc etc. So is there not an obvious synergy here? Instead of RA trying to persuade the CFO to do a risk-reward deal with some sleazy software vendor, why not link revenue recovered and cost efficiencies to charitable giving? Then everybody in the business has added motivation to support the cause, and the business gets to buy publicity with money it would never have had otherwise. Even if just 5% of the benefits delivered by RA went to charity, imagine the added returns that would generate. So, all you revenue assurance people, don your red hats and fake beards because now is the time for you to play Santa Claus…

I often get asked about the “rules” for how long a business can take to raise a bill after the date when the service was provided. Laws and regulations vary from country to country and also depend on the kind of service being billed for. But what surprises me about the question is that people would actually want and ask for a rule for something like this. It is as if common sense and a basic understanding of how customers behave is not enough. Rules may be rules, but there is no rule that tells a business how to work out what people can afford to pay and when the risk of bad publicity is simply not worth the value of the bill. Statute is the last thing a sensible business should look at when working out how late it can raise a bill. The laws that I have come across all tend towards the same conclusion:
> laws are usually written to help businesses succeed rather than fail,
> governments agree it is fair and vital that businesses get paid for what they provide,
> governments can tax companies if they make money, so want them to make money,
> hence rules usually get written that allow bills to be raised very late indeed.
Most rules allow billing so late, in fact, that any normal customer would be very upset at finding how stupid their supplier can be for taking so long to raise a bill, or upset that they eventually got caught and made to pay for something they hoped to get for free, depending on how you look at it. Of course, such customers are right to be upset at their stupid suppliers, though you also have to wonder why simple business logic does not cause businesses to be more thorough in getting everything billed on a timely basis. Obviously there are still many firms that need to improve their revenue assurance.
Anyhow, if you want a great example of just how bad it can get, take a look at this story about an American couple who now owe US$1,600 for a utility back-bill after their supplier forgot to bill them for the last 18 years.

# Multiplication and division using groups (10x10)
Lesson
Multiplication is the same as counting by groups, so we will be looking at multiplication with groups of objects. Division is the mathematical term for sharing objects, so we can also use groups of objects to help understand division. Fact families show us how multiplication and division are related to each other, using groups.

## What is the difference between width and thickness?
Answer:Technically, definitions of width and thickness are nearly same so it is hard to understand. Width :- the measurement or extent of something from side to side. Thickness :- the distance through an object, as distinct from width or height. | 1,042 | 4,477 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.6875 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | latest | en | 0.924738 |

Let A and B be two points on an ellipse with foci E and F. The tangents to the ellipse at A and B meet in S. Prove that ∠AES = ∠SEB. In words, the point of intersection of two tangents to an ellipse lies on the bisector of the angle formed by joining a focus to the points of tangency.
Proof
### Conic Sections > Ellipse
Let A and B be two points on an ellipse with foci E and F. The tangents to the ellipse at A and B meet in S. Prove that ∠AES = ∠SEB. In words, the point of intersection of two tangents to an ellipse lies on the bisector of the angle formed by joining a focus to the points of tangency.
### Proof
For a proof, reflect F in the two tangents to obtain points M and N. Because of the reflective property of ellipse, B is collinear with E, N and A with E, M.
From the definition of ellipse, EA + FA = EB + FB. Since M and N are reflections of F, FB = BN and FA = AM, implying
EM = EA + AM = EA + FA = EB + FB = EB + BN = EN.
It follows that ΔMEN is isosceles with EM = EN.
On the other hand, in ΔMFN, tangents AS and BS are the perpendicular bisectors of sides FN and FM. They meet in the circumcenter of ΔMFN, which also lies on the perpendicular bisector of the third side MN. By the construction, S is the point of intersection of the two tangents. Thus S is also the circumcenter of ΔMFN and lies on the perpendicular bisector of MN.
Now return to ΔMEN. Since it is isosceles with base MN, the perpendicular bisector of MN passes through E and plays the role of the bisector of ∠MEN which thus passes through S. But MEN and AEB is one and the same angle, and we are done.

Senator Dodd Speaks in Opposition to FISA Bill on Floor of U.S. Senate
In Opposition to the FISA Bill
by Chris Dodd
Remarks as Prepared, Delivered 24 June 2008
Mr. President: I rise—once again—to voice my strong opposition to the misguided FISA legislation before us today. I have strong reservations about the so-called improvements made to Title I. But more than that, this legislation includes provisions which would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that apparently have violated the privacy and the trust of millions of Americans by participating in the president’s warrantless wiretapping program. If we pass this legislation, the Senate will ratify a domestic spying regime that has already concentrated far too much unaccountable power in the president’s hands and will place the telecommunications companies above the law.
I am here today to implore my colleagues to vote against cloture in the morning.
And let me make clear, at the outset of this debate, that this is not about domestic surveillance itself. We all recognize the importance of domestic surveillance – in an age of unprecedented threats. This is about illegal, unwarranted, unchecked domestic surveillance.
And that difference—the difference between surveillance that is lawful, warranted and that which is not—is everything.
Mr. President, I had hoped I would not have to return to this floor again under these circumstances – hoped that in these negotiations we would have been able to turn aside retroactive immunity on the grounds that it is bad policy and sets a terrible precedent.
As all of my colleagues know, I have long fought against retroactive immunity, because I believe, quite simply, it is an abandonment of the rule of law. I’ve fought this with everything I had in me—and I haven’t waged this fight alone.
In December, I opposed retroactive immunity on the Senate floor. I spent ten hours on this floor then. In January and February, I came to the floor time and time again to discuss the dangers of granting retroactive immunity. Along with my colleague and friend Russ Feingold, who has shown remarkable leadership on this issue, I offered an amendment that would have stripped retroactive immunity from the Senate bill. Unfortunately, our amendment failed and to my extreme disappointment, the Senate adopted the underlying bill.
Since passage of the Senate bill, there has been extensive negotiations on how to move forward. Today, we are being asked to pass the so-called compromise that was reached by some of our colleagues and approved by the House of Representatives.
I am here today to say that I will not and cannot support this legislation. It goes against everything I have stood for – everything this body ought to stand for.
There is no question some improvements have been made over the previous versions of this bill. Title I, which regulates the ability of the government to conduct electronic surveillance, has indeed been improved. Albeit modestly. In fact, it is my hope that a new Congress and a new President will work together to fix the problems with Title I should the Senate adopt this new legislation.
But in no way is this compromise acceptable, Mr. President. This legislation before us purports to give the courts more of a role in determining the legality of the telecommunications companies actions. But in my view the Title II provisions do little more than ensure without a doubt that the telecommunications companies will be granted retroactive immunity.
Allow me to quote the Senate Intelligence Committee report on the matter. It reads:
Beginning soon after September 11, 2001, the Executive branch provided written requests or directives to U.S. electronic communication service providers to obtain their assistance with communications intelligence activities that had been authorized by the President.
… The letters were provided to electronic communication service providers at regular intervals. All of the letters stated that the activities had been authorized by the President. All of the letters also stated that the activities had been determined to be lawful by the Attorney General, except for one letter that covered a period of less than sixty days. That letter, which like all the others stated that the activities had been authorized by the President, stated that the activities had been determined to be lawful by the Counsel to the President.
Under the legislation before us, the district court would simply decide whether or not the telecommunication companies received documentation stating that the President authorized the program and that there had been some sort of determination that it was legal.
But, as the Intelligence Committee has already made clear, we already KNOW that this happened.
We already KNOW that the companies received some form of documentation, with some sort of legal determination.
But that’s not the question. The question is not whether these companies received a “document” from the White House. The question is, “were their actions legal?” It’s rather straightforward—surprisingly uncomplicated.
Either the companies were presented with a warrant, or they weren’t. Either the companies and the President acted outside of the rule of law, or they followed it. Either the underlying program was legal or it wasn’t.
Because of this legislation, none of the questions will be answered, Mr. President. Because of this so-called “compromise,” the judge’s hands will be tied, and the outcome of these cases will be predetermined. Because of this compromise, retroactive immunity will be granted and that, as they say, will be that. Case closed.
No court will rule on the legality of the telecommunications companies activities in participating in the president’s warrantless wiretapping program.
None of our fellow Americans will have their day in court.
What they will have is a government that has sanctioned lawlessness.
We are better than that.
They see what I see in this debate – that by short-circuiting the judicial process we are sending a dangerous signal to future generations. They see us establishing a precedent that Congress can—and will—provide immunity to potential law breakers, if they are “important” enough.
Mr. President, some may be asking – why is retroactive immunity so dangerous?
What is this issue? Why should I care?
Allow me to explain by providing a bit of context. I want to remind my colleagues of what I said about this bill months ago, because the argument against providing retroactive immunity remains unchanged.
Mr. President, unwarranted domestic spying didn’t happen in a panic or short-term emergency, not for a week, or a month, or even a year. If it had, I might not be here today.
But that isn’t the case. What we now know is that spying by this Administration went on, relentlessly, for more than five years.
I might not be here if it had been the first offense of a new administration. Maybe not if it had even been the second or the third.
But that isn’t the case either, Mr. President. Indeed, I am here today because with offense after another after another, I believe it is long past time to say: “enough.”
I am here today because of a pattern—a pattern of abuse against civil liberties and the rule of law. Against the Constitution—of which we are custodians, temporary though that status may be.
And I would add that had these abuses been committed by a president of my own party, I would have opposed them, every bit as vigorously.
I am here today because warrantless wiretapping is merely the latest link in a long chain of abuses.
So, why are we here? Because, Mr. President – it is alleged that giant telecom corporations worked with our government to compile Americans’ private, domestic communications records into a database of enormous scale and scope.
Secretly and without a warrant, those corporations are alleged to have spied on their own customers – American customers.
Here’s only one of the most egregious examples. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
Clear, first-hand whistleblower documentary evidence [states]…that for year on end every e-mail, every text message, and every phone call carried over the massive fiber-optic links of sixteen separate companies routed through AT&T’s Internet hub in San Francisco—hundreds of millions of private, domestic communications—have been…copied in their entirety by AT&T and knowingly diverted wholesale by means of multiple “splitters” into a secret room controlled exclusively by the NSA.
The phone calls and internet traffic of millions of Americans, diverted into a secret room controlled by the National Security Agency. That allegation still needs to be proven in a court of law. But it clearly needs to be determined in a court of law and not here in Senate.
I suppose if you only see cables and computers there, the whole thing seems almost harmless. Certainly nothing to get worked up about—a routine security sweep, and a routine piece of legislation blessing it.
If that’s all you imagine happened in the NSA’s secret room, I imagine you’ll vote for immunity.
I imagine you wouldn’t see much harm in voting to allow this practice to continue either.
But if you see a vast dragnet for millions of Americans’ private conversations, conducted by a government agency that acted without a warrant, acted outside of the rule of law—then, I believe, you’ll recognize what’s at stake here. You’ll see that what’s at stake is the sanctity of the law and the sanctity of our privacy. And you’ll probably come to a very different conclusion.
Maybe that sounds overdramatic. Perhaps some will ask, “What does it matter, at the end of the day, if a few corporations aren’t sued? These people sue each other all the time.”
Others may say, “This seems a small issue. Maybe the Administration went too far, but this seems like an isolated case.”
Indeed, Mr. President – as long as this case seems isolated and technical, they win. As long as it’s about another lawsuit buried in our legal system and nothing more, they win. The Administration is counting on the American people to see nothing bigger than that – “Nothing to see here.”
But there is plenty to see here, Mr. President – and it is so much more than a few phonecalls, a few companies, a few lawsuits.
What is at stake is nothing less than equal justice—justice that makes no exceptions. What is at stake is an open debate on security and liberty, and an end to warrantless, groundless spying.
This bill does not say, “Trust the American people; Trust the courts and judges and juries to come to just decisions.” Retroactive immunity sends a message that is crystal clear:
“Trust me.”
And that message comes straight from the mouth of this President. “Trust me.”
What is the basis for that trust? Classified documents, we are told, that prove the case for retroactive immunity beyond a shadow of a doubt.
But we’re not allowed to see them! I’ve served in this body for 27 years, and I’m not allowed to see them! Neither are a majority of my colleagues. We are all left in the dark.
I cannot speak for my colleagues—but I would never take “trust me” for an answer, not even in the best of times. Not even from a President on Mount Rushmore.
I can’t put it better than this:
Those words were not spoken by someone who took our nation’s security lightly, Mr. President. They were spoken by Ronald Reagan -- in 1980. They are every bit as true today, even if times of threat and fear blur our concept of transcendent values. Even if those who would exploit those times urge us to save our skins at any cost.
But again, Mr. President:
“Why should I care?”
The rule of law has rarely been in such a fragile state. Rarely has it seemed less compelling. What, after all, does the law give us anyway? It has no parades, no slogans. It lives in books and precedents. And, we are never failed to be reminded, the world is a very dangerous place.
Indeed, that is precisely the advantage seized upon, not just by this Administration but in all times, by those looking to disregard the rule of law. As James Madison, the father of our Constitution, said more than two centuries ago, “It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger…from abroad.”
With the passage of this bill, his words would be one step closer to coming true. So it has never been more essential that we lend our voices to the law, and speak on its behalf.
What is this about, Mr. President?
It’s about answering the fundamental question: do we support the rule of law…or the rule of men? To me, this is our defining question—indeed it may be the defining question that confronts every generation.
This is about far more than a few telecoms – it is about contempt for the law, large and small.
Mr. President, I’ve said that warrantless wiretapping is but the latest link in a long chain of abuses when it comes to the rule of law.
This is about the Justice Department turning our nation’s highest law enforcement offices into patronage plums, and turning the impartial work of indictments and trials into the pernicious machinations of politics.
Contempt for the rule of law.
This is about Alberto Gonzales, the nation’s now-departed Attorney General, coming before Congress to give us testimony that was at best, wrong—and at worst, outright perjury.
Contempt for the rule of law – by the nation’s foremost enforcer of the law.
This is about Congress handing the president the power to designate any individual he wants as an “unlawful enemy combatant,” hold him indefinitely, and take away his right to habeas corpus—the 700-year-old right to challenge your detention.
If you think that the Military Commissions Act struck at the heart of the Constitution, you’d be understating things—it did a pretty good job on the Magna Carta while it was at it.
And if you think that this only threatens a few of us, you should understand that the writ of habeas corpus belongs to all of us—it allows anyone to challenge their detention.
Rolling back habeas rights endangers us all: Without a day in court, how can you prove that you’re entitled to a trial? How can you prove that you are innocent? In fact, without a day in court, how can you let anyone know that you have been detained at all?
Thankfully, the Supreme Court recently rebuked the President’s lawlessness and ruled that detainees do indeed have the right to challenge their detention.
Mr. President, the Military Commissions Act also gave President Bush the power some say he wanted most of all: the power to get information out of suspected terrorists—by virtually any means.
The power to use evidence gained from torture.
I don’t think you can hold the rule of law in any greater contempt than sanctioning torture, Mr. President.
Because of decisions made at the highest levels of our government, America is making itself known to the world for torture, with stories like this one:
A prisoner at Guantanamo—to take one example out of hundreds— was deprived of sleep over fifty five days, a month and three weeks. Some nights, he was doused with water or blasted with air conditioning. And after week after week of this delirious, shivering wakefulness, on the verge of death from hypothermia, doctors strapped him to a chair—doctors, healers who took the Hippocratic Oath to “do no harm”—pumped him full of three bags of medical saline, brought him back from death—and sent him back to his interrogators.
To the generation coming of age around the world in this decade, that is America. Not Normandy, not the Marshall Plan, not Nuremberg. But Guantanamo.
Think about it.
We have legal analysts so vaguely defining torture, so willfully blurring the lines during interrogations that we have CIA counterterrorism lawyers saying things like, “if the detainee dies, you’re doing it wrong.”
We have the CIA destroying tapes containing the evidence of harsh interrogations—about the Administration covering its tracks in a way more suited to a banana republic than to the home of freedom.
We have this Administration actually defending waterboarding, a technique invented by the Spanish Inquisition, perfected by the Khmer Rouge, and in between, banned—originally banned for excessive cruelty—by the Gestapo!
Still, some say, “waterboarding’s not torture.”
Oh really?
Listen to the words of Malcolm Nance, a 26-year expert in intelligence and counter-terrorism, a combat veteran, and former Chief of Training at the US Navy Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape School. While training American soldiers to resist interrogation, he writes,
I have personally led, witnessed and supervised waterboarding of hundreds of people….Unless you have been strapped down to the board, have endured the agonizing feeling of the water overpowering your gag reflex, and then feel your throat open and allow pint after pint of water to involuntarily fill your lungs, you will not know the meaning of the word….
It does not simulate drowning, as the lungs are actually filling with water. The victim is drowning. How much the victim is to drown depends on the desired result…and the obstinacy of the subject.
Waterboarding is slow motion suffocation…usually the person goes into hysterics on the board….When done right it is controlled death.
Controlled death, Mr. President.
And that is not torture?
Not according to President Bush’s White House. They have said waterboarding is legal, and that, if it chooses, America will waterboard again.
Surely then, Mr. President, our new Attorney General would condemn torture.
Surely, the nation’s highest law enforcement officer in the land, coming after Alberto Gonzales’s chaotic tenure, would never come before Congress and defend the president’s power to openly break the law.
Would he?
He would, Mr. President.
When he came to the Senate before his confirmation, Michael Mukasey was asked a simple question, bluntly and plainly: “Is waterboarding constitutional?”
He replied: “If waterboarding is torture, torture is not constitutional.”
One would hope for a little more insight from someone so famously well-versed in national security law. But Mr. Mukasey pressed on with the obstinacy of a witness pleading the fifth: “If it’s torture….If it amounts to torture, it is not constitutional.”
And that is the best this noted jurist, this legal scholar, this longtime judge, a supposed expert on national security law had to offer on the defining moral issue of this presidency. Claims of ignorance. Word games.
Now-Attorney General Mukasey was asked the easiest question we have in a democracy: Can the president openly break the law? Can he—as we know he’s done already—order warrantless wiretapping, ignore the will of Congress, and then hide behind nebulous powers he claims to find in the Constitution?
His response: The president has “the authority to defend the country.”
And in one swoop, the Attorney General conceded to the president nearly unlimited power, just as long as he finds a lawyer willing to stuff his actions into the boundless rubric of “defending the country.” Unlimited power to defend the country, to protect us as one man sees fit, even if that means listening to our phone calls without a warrant, even if that means holding some of us indefinitely.
That is, Mr. President, contempt for the rule of law.
And so, this is very much about torture – about “enhanced interrogation methods” and waterboarding.
It is also about extraordinary rendition—outsourced torture of men this administration would prefer we didn’t know exist.
Oh, but we do know, Mr. President.
One was a Syrian immigrant raising his family in Canada as a citizen. He wrote computer code for a company called MathWorks and was planning to start his own tech business. On a trip through New York’s JFK Airport, he was arrested by U.S. federal agents. They shackled him and bundled him onto a private CIA plane, which flew him across the Atlantic Ocean to Syria.
This man spent the next 10 months and 10 days in a Syrian prison. His cell was three feet wide—the size of a grave. Some 300 days passed alone in that cell, with a bowl for his toilet and another bowl for his water, and the door only opened so he could go wash himself once a week—though it may have been more or less, because the cell was dark and he lost track of time.
The door only opened for one other reason: for interrogators who asked him, again and again, about al-Qaeda. Here’s how it was described:
The interrogator said, “Do you know what this is?” I said, “Yes, it’s a cable,” and he told me, “Open your right hand.” I opened my right hand, and he hit me like crazy. It was so painful, and of course I started crying, and then he told me to open my left hand, and I opened it, and he missed, then hit my wrist. And then he asked me questions. If he does not think you are telling the truth, then he hits again.
The jail and the torturers were Syrian, but America sent this man there with full knowledge of what would happen to him—because it was part of the longstanding secret program of “extraordinary rendition.” America was convinced that he was a terrorist and wanted the truth beaten out of him.
No charges were ever filed against him. His adopted nation’s government—Canada, one of our strongest NATO allies—cleared him of all wrongdoing after a year-long official investigation, and awarded him more than $10 million in government compensation for his immense pain and suffering. But not before he was tortured for 10 months in a cell the size of a grave. Did his torture make us safer? Did his suffering improve our security?
I would note Mr. President, that our own government has shamefully refused even to acknowledge that his case exists.
We know about a German citizen as well, living in the city of Ulm with his wife and four children. On a bus trip through Eastern Europe, he was pulled off at a border crossing by armed guards and held for three weeks in a hotel room, where he was beaten regularly. At the end of three weeks, he was drugged and shipped on a cargo plane to Kabul, Afghanistan.
For five months, he was held in the Salt Pit—a secret American prison staffed by Afghan guards. All he had to drink was stagnant water from a filthy bottle. Again and again, masked men interrogated him about al-Qaeda, and finally, he says, they raped him.
He was released in May of 2004. Scientific testing confirmed his story of malnourishment, and the Chancellor of Germany publicly acknowledged that he was wrongly held. What was his crime? Having the same name as a suspected terrorist. Again, our own government has shamefully refused to even acknowledge that his case exists.
And so, we do know, Mr. President. We know because there aren’t enough words in the world to cover the facts.
If you’d like to define torture out of existence, be my guest.
If you’d rather use a Washington euphemism—“tough questioning,” “enhanced interrogation”—feel free. Feel free to talk about “fraternity hazing,” like Rush Limbaugh did, or to use a favorite term of Vice President Cheney’s, “a dunk in the water.” You can call it whatever you’d like.
But when you’re through, the facts will still be waiting for you. Controlled death. Outsourced torture. Secret prisons. Month-long sleep deprivations. The president’s personal power to hold whomever he likes for as long as he’d like. It is as if we woke up in the middle of some Kafka-esque nightmare.
Have I gone wildly off-topic, Mr. President? Have I brought up a dozen unrelated issues?
I wish I had, Mr. President. I wish that none of these stories were true.
But, we are deceiving ourselves when we talk about the U.S. attorneys issue, the habeas issue, the torture issue, the rendition issue, or the secrecy issue as if each were an isolated case! As if each one were an accident! When we speak of them as isolated, we are keeping our politics cripplingly small; and as long as we keep this small, the rule of men is winning.
There is only one issue here. Only one: the law issue.
Does the president serve the law, or does the law serve the president? Each insult to our Constitution comes from the same source; each springs from the same mindset; and if we attack this contempt for the law at any point, we will wound it at all points.
That is why I’m here today: Retroactive immunity is on the table today; but also at issue is the entire ideology that justifies it, the same ideology that defends torture and executive lawlessness. Immunity is a disgrace in itself, but it is far worse in what it represents. It tells us that some believe in the courts only so long as their verdict goes their way. That some only believe in the rule of law, so long as exceptions are made at their desire. It puts secrecy above sunshine and fiat above law.
Did the telecoms break the law? That, I don’t know.
“Law” is a word we barely hear from the supporters of immunity. They offer neither a deliberation about America’s difficult choices in the age of terrorism, nor a shared attempt to set for our times the excruciating balance between security and liberty. They merely promise a false debate on a false choice: security or liberty, but never, ever both.
I think differently. I think that America’s founding truth is unambiguous: security and liberty, one and inseparable, and never one without the other--no matter how difficult a situation, no matter what threats we face.
Secure in that truth, I offer a challenge to immunity’s supporters: You want to put a handful of corporations above the law. Could you please explain how your immunity makes any one of us any safer at all?
The truth is that a working balance between security and liberty has already been struck! In fact, it has been settled for decades. For thirty years, FISA has prevented executive lawbreaking and protected Americans, and that balance stands today.
In the wake of the Watergate scandal, the Senate convened the Church Committee, a panel of distinguished members determined to investigate executive abuses of power. And unsurprisingly, they found that when Congress and the courts substitute “trust me” for real oversight, massive lawbreaking can result.
They found evidence of U.S. Army spying on the civilian population, federal dossiers on citizens’ political activities, a CIA and FBI program that had opened hundreds of thousands of Americans’ letters without warning or warrant. In sum, Americans had sustained a severe blow to their Fourth Amendment rights “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
But at the same time, the senators of the Church Committee understood that surveillance needed to go forward to protect the American people. Surveillance itself was not the problem; unchecked, unregulated, unwarranted surveillance was. What surveillance needed, in a word, was legitimacy.
And in America, as the Founders understood, power becomes legitimate when it is shared, when Congress and the courts check that attitude which so often crops up in the executive branch—“if the president does it, it’s not illegal.”
The Church Committee’s final report, “Intelligence Activities and the Rights of Americans,” put the case powerfully:
The critical question before the Committee was to determine how the fundamental liberties of the people can be maintained in the course of the Government’s effort to protect their security.
We reject the view that the traditional American principles of justice and fair play have no place in our struggle against the enemies of freedom. Moreover, our investigation has established that the targets of intelligence activity have ranged far beyond persons who could properly be characterized as enemies of freedom….
We have seen a consistent pattern in which programs initiated with limited goals, such as preventing criminal violence or identifying foreign spies, were expanded to what witnesses characterized as “vacuum cleaners,” sweeping in information about lawful activities of American citizens.
The senators concluded: “Unless new and tighter controls are established by legislation, domestic intelligence activities threaten to undermine our democratic society and fundamentally alter its nature.”
What a strange echo we hear in those words! They could have been written yesterday. Three decades ago, our predecessors in this chamber understood that when domestic spying goes too far, it threatens to kill just what it promises to protect—an America secure in its liberty. That lesson was crystal-clear 30 years ago. Why is it so clouded now?
And before we entertain the argument that “everything has changed” since those words were written, remember: The men who wrote them had witnessed world war and Cold War, had seen Nazi and Soviet spying, and were living every day under the cloud of nuclear holocaust.
I’ll ask this, Mr. President: Who will chair the commission investigating the secrets of warrantless spying, years from today? Will it be a young senator in this body today? Will it be someone not yet elected? What will that senator say when he or she comes to our actions, reads in the records how we let outrage after outrage after outrage slide, with nothing more than a promise to stop the next one? I imagine that senator will ask of us, “Why didn’t they do anything? Why didn’t they fight back? In June 2008, when no one could doubt anymore what the administration was doing—why did they sit on their hands?”
Since the time of the Church Commission, Mr. President, the threats facing us have multiplied and grown in complexity, but the lesson has been immutable:
Warrantless spying threatens to undermine our democratic society, unless legislation brings it under control. In other words, the power to invade privacy must be used sparingly, guarded jealously, and shared equally between the branches of government.
Or the case can be made pragmatically. As my friend Harold Koh, the Dean of Yale Law School, recently argued, “The engagement of all three branches tends to yield not just more thoughtful law, but a more broadly supported public policy.”
Three decades ago, Congress embodied that solution in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
FISA confirmed the president’s power to conduct surveillance of international conversations involving anyone in the United States, provided that the federal FISA court issued a warrant—ensuring that wiretapping was aimed at safeguarding our security, and nothing else.
The president’s own Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell, explained the rationale in an interview last summer: The United States “did not want to allow [the intelligence community] to conduct…electronic surveillance of Americans for foreign intelligence unless you had a warrant, so that was required.”
As originally written in 1978, and as amended many times since, FISA has accomplished its mission; it has been a valuable tool for conducting surveillance of terrorists and those who would harm America.
And every time presidents have come to Congress openly to ask for more leeway under FISA, Congress has worked with them; Congress has negotiated; and together, Congress and the president have struck a balance that safeguards America while doing its utmost to protect privacy.
Last summer, Congress made a technical correction to FISA, enabling the president to wiretap, without a warrant, conversations between two foreign targets, even if those conversations are routed through American computers. For other reasons, I felt that this past summer’s legislation went too far, and I opposed it. But the point is that Congress once again proved its willingness to work with the president on FISA.
Isn’t that enough?
Just this past October and November, the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary Committees worked with the president to further refine FISA and ensure that, in a true emergency, the FISA court would do nothing to slow down intelligence gathering.
Isn’t that enough?
And as for the FISA court? Between 1978 and 2004, according to the Washington Post, the FISA court approved 18,748 warrants—and rejected five.
The FISA court has sided with the executive ninety nine point nine percent of the time.
Isn’t that enough?
Is anything lacking? Have we forgotten something? Isn’t all of this enough to keep us safe?
We all know the answer we received. This complex, fine-tuned machinery, crafted over three decades by three branches of government, four presidents, and 12 Congresses was ignored. It was a system primed to bless nearly any eavesdropping a president could conceive—and spying still happened illegally.
If the shock of that decision has yet to sink in, think of it this way: President Bush ignored not just a federal court, but a secret federal court; not just a secret federal court, but a secret federal court prepared to sign off on his actions ninety nine point nine percent of the time. A more compliant court has never been conceived.
And that still wasn’t good enough.
So I will ask the Senate candidly, and candidly it already knows the answer:
Is this about security—or is it about power?
Why are some fighting so hard for retroactive immunity? The answer, I believe, is that immunity means secrecy, and secrecy means power.
It’s no coincidence that the man who proclaimed “if the president does it, it’s not illegal”—Richard Nixon—was the same man who raised executive secrecy to an art form.
The senators of the Church Committee expressed succinctly the deep flaw in the Nixonian executive: “Abuse thrives on secrecy.” And, in the exhaustive catalogue of their report, they proved it.
In this push for immunity, secrecy is at the center. We find proof in immunity’s original version: a proposal to protect not just the telecoms, but everyone involved in the wiretapping program.
In their original proposal, that is, they wanted to immunize themselves.
Think about that. It speaks to their fear and, perhaps, their guilt: their guilt that they had broken the law, and their fear that in the years to come, they would be found liable or convicted.
They knew better than anyone else what they had done—they must have had good reason to be afraid.
Thankfully, immunity for the executive is not part of the bill before us. But the original proposal tells us something very important: This is, and always has been, a self-preservation bill.
Otherwise, why not have the trial and get it over with? If the proponents of retroactive immunity are right, the corporations would win in a walk.
After all, in the official telling, the telecoms were ordered to help the president spy without a warrant, and they patriotically complied. We’ve even heard on this floor the comparison between the telecom corporations to the men and women laying their lives on the line in Iraq.
But ignore that comparison – which, frankly, I find deeply offensive. Ignore for a moment the fact that in America we obey the laws, not the president’s orders. Ignore that not even the president has the right to scare or bully you into breaking the law, though it seems that tactic has proven surprisingly fruitful.
Ignore that the telecoms were not unanimous; one, Qwest, wanted to see the legal basis for the order, never received it, and so refused to comply.
Ignore that a judge presiding over the case ruled that “AT&T cannot seriously contend that a reasonable entity in its position could have believed that the alleged domestic dragnet was legal.”
Ignore all that: If the order the telecoms received was legally binding, they have an easy case to prove. The corporations only need to show a judge the authority and the assurances they were given, and they’ll be in and out of court in five minutes.
If the telecoms are as defensible as the president says, why doesn’t the president let them defend themselves? If the case is so easy to make, why doesn’t he let them make it?
It can’t be that he’s afraid of leaks. Our federal court system has dealt for decades with the most delicate national security matters, building up expertise in protecting classified information behind closed doors—ex parte, in camera. We can expect no less in these cases.
No intelligence sources need be compromised. No state secrets need be exposed. After litigation at both the district court and circuit court level, no state secrets have been exposed.
In fact, Federal District Court Judge Vaughn Walker, a Republican appointee, has already ruled that the issue can go to trial without putting state secrets in jeopardy.
He reasonably pointed out that the existence of the terrorist surveillance program is a hardly secret at all: “The government has [already] disclosed the general contours of the ‘terrorist surveillance program,’ which requires the assistance of a telecommunications provider.”
As the state secrets privilege is invoked to stall these high-profile cases, it’s useful to consider that privilege’s history. In fact, it was tainted at its birth by a president of my own party, Harry Truman. In 1952, he successfully invoked the new privilege to prevent public exposure of a report on a plane crash that killed three Air Force contractors.
When the report was finally declassified—some fifty years later, decades after anyone in the Truman administration was within its reach—it contained no state secrets at all.
Only facts about repeated maintenance failures that would have seriously embarrassed some important people.
And so the state secrets privilege began its career not to protect our nation—but to protect the powerful.
In his opinion, Judge Walker argued that, even when it is reasonably grounded,
the state secrets privilege [still] has its limits. While the court recognizes and respects the executive’s constitutional duty to protect the nation from threats, the court also takes seriously its constitutional duty to adjudicate the disputes that come before it. To defer to a blanket assertion of secrecy here would be to abdicate that duty, particularly because the very subject matter of this litigation has been so publicly aired.
And that ought to be the epitaph of this Administration: “sacrificing liberty for no apparent enhancement of security.” Worse than selling our soul—giving it away for free!
It is equally wrong to claim that failing to grant this retroactive immunity will make the telecoms less likely to cooperate with surveillance in the future.
The truth is that, since the 1970s, FISA has compelled telecommunications companies to cooperate with surveillance, when it’s warranted—and what’s more, it immunizes them. It’s done that for more than 25 years.
So cooperation in warranted wiretapping is not at stake today, and despite claims by supporters of immunity-- never has been. Collusion in warrantless illegal wiretapping is. And the warrant makes all the difference, because it is precisely the court’s blessing that brings presidential power under the rule of law.
In sum, we know that giving the telecoms their day in court—giving the American people their day in court—would not jeopardize an ounce of our security.
And it could only expose one secret: the extent to which the rule of law has been trampled.
And that is the choice at stake today: Will the secrets of the last years remain closed in the dark? Or will they be open to the generations to come, to our successors in this chamber, so that they can prepare themselves to defend against future outrages of power and usurpations of law from future presidents, of either party?
Thirty years after the Church Committee, history repeated itself. If those who come after us are to prevent it from repeating again, they need the full truth.
And that is why we must not see these secrets go quietly into the night. I am here because the truth is no one’s private property—it belongs to every one of us, and it demands to be heard.
“State secrets,” “patriotic duty”—those, as weak as they are, are the arguments the telecoms’ advocates use when they’re feeling high-minded! When their thoughts turn baser, they make their arguments as amateur economists.
Here’s how Mike McConnell put it: “If you play out the suits at the value they’re claimed, it would bankrupt these companies. So…we have to provide liability protection to these private sector entities.”
To begin with, that’s a clear exaggeration. We are talking about some of the wealthiest, most successful companies in America. Some of them have continued to earn record profits and sign up record numbers of subscribers at the same time as this very public litigation—totally undermining the argument that these lawsuits are doing the telecoms severe “reputational damage.”
Companies of that size couldn’t be completely wiped out by anything but the most exorbitant and unlikely judgment. To assume that the telecoms would lose, and that their judges would then hand down such backbreaking penalties, is already to take several leaps.
Opponents of immunity, including myself, have stated that we would support a reasonable alternative to blanket retroactive immunity.
No one seriously wants to financially cripple our telecommunications industry. The point is to bring checks and balances back to domestic spying. Setting that precedent would hardly require a crippling judgment.
It’s much more troubling, though, that our Director of National Intelligence even bothers to speak to “liability protection for private sector entities.”
This isn’t the Secretary of Commerce we’re talking about, but the head of our nation’s intelligence efforts.
For that matter, how does that even begin to be relevant to letting this case go forward? Since when did we throw entire suits out because the defendant stood to lose too much?
It astounds me that some can speak in the same breath about national security and bottom lines. Approve immunity, and Congress will state clearly: The richer you are, the more successful you are, the more lawless you are entitled to be. A suit against you is a danger to the Republic!
And so, at the rock-bottom of its justifications, the telecoms’ advocates are essentially arguing that immunity can be bought.
The truth is exactly the opposite—and it should be obvious:
The larger the corporation, the greater the potential for abuse.
No one suggests that success should make a company suspect; companies grow large, and essential to our economy, because they are excellent at what they do. But the size and wealth open the realm of possibilities for abuse far beyond the scope of the individual.
After all, if the allegations are true, we are talking about one of the most massive violations of privacy in American history.
Should there not be some retribution or penalty?
If reasonable search and seizure means opening a drug dealer’s apartment, the telecoms’ alleged actions would be the equivalent of strip-searching everyone in the building, ransacking their bedrooms, and prying up all the floorboards.
The scale of these corporations opens unprecedented possibilites for abuse—possibilities far beyond the power of the individual.
What the telecoms have been accused of could not be done by one man or even ten.
It would be inconceivable without the size and resources of a corporate behemoth—the same size that makes Mike McConnell fear the corporations’ day in court. That’s the massive scale we’re talking about—and that massive scale is precisely why no corporation must be above the law.
On that scale, it is impossible to plead ignorance. As Judge Walker ruled, “AT&T cannot seriously contend that a reasonable entity in its position could have believed that the alleged domestic dragnet was legal.”
But the arguments of the president’s allies sink even lower. Listen to the words a House Republican leader spoke on Fox News. They are shameful: “I believe that they deserve immunity from lawsuits out there from typical trial lawyers trying to find a way to get into the pockets of American companies.”
Of course, some of the “typical greedy trial lawyers” bringing these suits actually work for a nonprofit. And the telecoms that some want to portray as pitiable little Davids actually employ hundreds of attorneys, retain the best corporate law firms, and spend multimillion-dollar legal budgets every year. But if the facts actually mattered to immunity supporters, we wouldn’t be here. For some, the pre-written narrative takes precedence far above the mere facts; and here, it is the perennial narrative of the greedy trial lawyers.
With that, some can rest content. They can conclude that we weren’t ever serious about law, or about privacy, or about checks and balances—it was about money all along.
There can no longer be any doubt: One by one, the arguments of the immunity supporters, of the telecoms’ advocates, fail. I’d like to spend a few moments reviewing, in detail, those claims and their failures.
[Slide 1]
One: Immunity supporters argue that granting immunity is a presidential prerogative.
But the fact is that this case belongs in the courts, in cases where the outcome has not been predetermined. The judiciary should be allowed to determine whether the president has exceeded his powers by obtaining from the telecoms wholesale access to the domestic communications of millions of ordinary Americans.
The courts should not simply be in the business of certifying that the companies received some form of documentation. Rather they should be allowed to evaluate the validity of the legal arguments asserted in the document. Was the request legal or not?
Remember also that the administration’s original immunity proposal protected everyone involved in the wiretapping program—not just the telecoms. In their original proposal, that is, they wanted to immunize themselves.
Thankfully, executive immunity is not part of the bill before us. But the origin of immunity tells us a great deal about what’s at stake here: self-preservation.
[Slide 2]
Two: Immunity supporters claim that only foreign communications were targeted—not Americans’ domestic calls.
But the fact is that clear, first-hand evidence, authenticated by the corporations in court, contradicts that claim. “Splitters” at AT&T’s Internet hub in San Francisco diverted into a secret room controlled by the NSA every e-mail, text message, and phone call—foreign or domestic—carried over the massive fiber-optic links of sixteen separate companies.
[Slide 3]
Three: Immunity supporters claim that a lack of immunity will make the telecoms less likely to cooperate with surveillance in the future.
But remember: Since the 1970s, FISA has compelled telecoms to cooperate with warranted surveillance, and it has immunized them. The issue today is not wiretapping—it is warrantless wiretapping. And the warrant is essential, because that is what brings the president’s power under the rule of law.
[Slide 4]
Four: Immunity supporters argue that the telecoms can’t defend themselves without exposing state secrets.
But the fact is that Federal District Court Judge Vaughn Walker has already ruled that the issue can go to trial without putting state secrets in jeopardy. He pointed out that the existence of the warrantless surveillance program is a hardly secret at all: “The government has [already] disclosed the general contours of the ‘terrorist surveillance program,’ which requires the assistance of a telecommunications provider.”
[Slide 5]
Five: Immunity supporters claim that the telecoms are already protected by common law principles.
But the fact is that common law immunities do not trump specific legal duties imposed by statute, such as the specific duties Congress has long imposed on telecoms to protect customer privacy and records. In the pending case against AT&T, the judge already has ruled unequivocally that “AT&T cannot seriously contend that a reasonable entity in its position could have believed that the alleged domestic dragnet was legal.”
Even so, the communications company defendants can and should have the opportunity to present these defenses to the courts, and the courts—not Congress preemptively—should decide whether they are sufficient.
[Slide 6]
Six: Immunity supporters claim that leaks from the trial might damage national security.
But the fact is that our federal court system, in decades of dealing with delicate national security matters, has built up the expertise it takes to secure that information, behind closed doors. If we’re still concerned about national security being threatened as a result of these cases, we can simply get the principals a security clearance.
We can be increasingly confident that these cases will not expose state secrets or intelligence sources—because, after the extensive litigation that has already taken place at both the district court and circuit court level, no sensitive information has leaked out.
[Slide 7]
Seven: Immunity supporters claim that litigation will harm the telecoms by causing them “reputational damage.”
But the fact is that there is no evidence that this litigation has reduced or will reduce the defendant companies’ bottom lines or customer base.
These companies’ reputations can only be harmed if they have done something wrong. If they have not, they have nothing to worry about.
[Slide 8]
Eight: Finally, immunity supporters claim that these lawsuits could bankrupt the telecoms.
But as we’ve seen, such huge corporations could only be wiped out by the most enormous penalties—and also the most unlikely. It takes several leaps to assume that the telecoms will lose, and then that they’ll be slapped with such huge judgments.
But on another level, immunity supporters are staking their claim on a dangerous principle—that a suit can be stopped solely on the basis of how much a defendant stands to lose.
If we accept that premise, we could conceive of a corporation so wealthy, so integral to our economy, that its riches place it outside the law altogether. And that is a deeply flawed argument.
We see, then, that none of the arguments for immunity stand. There is absolutely no reason to halt the legal process, and bar the courthouse door.
And ultimately, Mr. President, that’s all I’m asking for: a fair fight. In any other administration, it would be a humble claim: a day in court, for the companies that have been accused, and for the American citizens who have accused them. To reject immunity would mean to grab hold of the closest thread of lawlessness we have at hand, and to pull until the whole garment unravels.
But ensuring a day in court is not the same as ensuring a verdict. When that day comes, I have absolutely no investment in the verdict, either way. It may be that the federal government broke the law in asking the telecoms to spy, but that the telecoms’ response was innocent. It may be that the government was within the law, and that the telecoms broke it. Maybe both broke the law. Maybe neither did.
But just as it would be absurd for me to declare the telecoms clearly guilty, it is equally absurd to close the case in Congress, without a decision. That is what immunity does. Throughout this debate, the telecoms’ advocates have needed to show not just that they’re right—but that they’re so right, and that we’re so far beyond the pale—that we can shut down the argument right here, today.
That is a burden they have clearly not met. And they cannot expect to meet it when a large majority of the senators who will make the decision have not even seen the secret documents that are supposed to prove the case for retroactive immunity.
Mr. President, my trust is in the courts, in the cases argued openly, in the judges who preside over them, and in the juries of American citizens who decide them. They should be our pride, not our embarrassment. They deserve to do their jobs.
As complex, as diverse, as relentless as the assault on the rule of law has been, our answer to it is a simple one. Far more than any president’s lawlessness, the American way of justice remains deeply rooted in our character.
That, no president can disturb. So I am full of hope, even on this dark day. I have faith that we can unite security and justice—because we have already done it.
My father, Senator Tom Dodd, was the number two American prosecutor at the famous Nuremberg trials. And I have never, never forgotten the example he set.
As Justice Robert Jackson said in his opening statement at Nuremberg: “That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.”
Mr. President, what is the tribute that Power owes to Reason?
That America stands for a transcendent idea.
The idea that laws should rule, not men.
The idea that the Constitution does not get suspended for vengeance.
The idea that this nation should never tailor its eternal principles to the conflict of the moment, because if we did, we would be walking in the footsteps of the enemies we despised.
The tribute that Power owes to Reason is due today. I know that we can find the strength to pay it. And if we can’t? We will all have to answer for it.
There’s a famous military recruiting poster that comes to mind. A man is sitting in an easy chair with his son and daughter on his lap, in some future after the war has ended. His daughter is asking him, “Daddy, what did you do in the war?” And his face is shocked and shamed, because he knows he did nothing.
My daughters, Grace and Christina, are six and three. They are growing up in a time of two great conflicts: one between our nation and its enemies, and another, between what is best and worst in our American soul. And someday soon, I know I am going to hear that question: “What did you do?” I want, more than anything else, to give the right answer.
That question is coming for every single one of us in this body. Every single one of us will be judged by a jury from whom there’s no hiding: our sons, our daughters, our grandchildren. Someday soon, they’ll read in their textbooks the story of a great nation, one that threw down tyrants and oppressors for two centuries; one that rid the world of Nazism and Soviet communism; one that proved that great strength can serve great virtue, that right can truly make might.
And then they will read how, in the early years of the 21st century, that nation lost its way.
We do not have the power to strike that chapter. No, Mr. President—we can’t go back.
We can’t un-destroy the CIA’s interrogation tapes. We can’t un-pass the Military Commissions Act. We can’t un-speak Alberto Gonzales’s disgraceful testimony. We can’t un-torture innocent people. And perhaps, sadly, shamefully, we cannot stop retroactive immunity. We can’t un-do anything that has been done in the last six years for the cause of lawlessness and fear.
We cannot blot out that chapter. But we can begin the next one, even today. Let its first words read: “Finally, in June 2008, the Senate said: ‘Enough.’”
I implore my colleagues to write it with me. I implore my colleagues to vote against retroactive immunity and vote against cloture tomorrow morning.

While learning a little Fourier analysis, I ran into this interesting phenomenon:
Consider a series of sawtooth waves such that the height and width of the sawteeth shrinks to zero, but the slope of the sawteeth remains the same. To be specific, let
$$f_n(x) = \frac{nx - \lfloor nx\rfloor}{n}$$
Then define
$$F(x) = \lim_{n\to\infty}f_n(x)$$
It seems intuitively clear that $F(x) = 0$ for all $x$ because the global maximum of $f_n$ is $\frac{1}{n}$.
If $F(x) = 0$, then we should have $F'(x) = 0$ as well. However, if we choose an irrational value of $x$, then $f'_n(x) = 1$ for all $n$, so if $F'(x)$ is found instead by taking
$$F'(x) = \lim_{n\to\infty}f'_n(x)$$
we do not get $F'(x) = 0$.
It seems like the derivative of a limit is not the same as the limit of a derivative, which is pretty counterintuitive to me.
What's going on?
-
This example illustrates the principle well: Functions can be close while their derivatives are not. The standard image to invoke is similar to what you have given here: one function can be constant, while a "nearby" function can stay close to that constant function while oscillating maniacally. Another example to consider would be $\frac{\sin(nx)}{n}\to 0$. – Jonas Meyer Sep 15 '11 at 22:44
That's correct, they are not the same. (In particular, $\lim f_n'(x)$ exists only when $x$ is irrational, and is then equal to $1$ - can you see why?) Since the derivative is itself a limit, this is also a special case of the fact you cannot (in general) interchange two limits. – anon Sep 15 '11 at 22:46
@Mark Eichenlaub : As it has been stated, I'd like to mention that there is a possibility that a lot of interesting things missing when we use convergence under a norm like the $\mathcal{L}^p$. – Rajesh Dachiraju Sep 16 '11 at 8:34
You may want to have a look at this as well, although a different, you might find it interseting. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_convergence under the section 'Applications'. It talks about the differentiability and the derivative of the limit function under pointwise convergence. – Rajesh Dachiraju Sep 16 '11 at 8:38 | 613 | 2,192 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 1, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.0625 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | latest | en | 0.917103 |

In this post, I showed that there was very little possible profit against 21+3, even using perfect play. Nevertheless, this post on card counting 21+3 is the most viewed blackjack side bet article in this blog, getting about 70% more hits than this second place post on Lucky Ladies. The 21+3 post ranks 6th in overall views. It continues to be one of the top posts accessed each day. I don’t know why.
For over two years, I have known about a version of 21+3 called “21+3 Extreme” (21+3E). This version pays for the same events as 21+3, but uses a pay table leading to a higher house edge and greater volatility. Because of the extremely low vulnerability of 21+3 to advantage play and the higher house edge of 21+3E, I long ago concluded that 21+3E would be a waste of time to analyze. However, given the continued interest in 21+3 (and a lack of anything better to do), I decided to finally give 21+3E a look. The results of this analysis met my extraordinarily low expectations.
This post covers the six-deck case. With fewer decks, the house edge for 21+3E increases, making it even less vulnerable.
Both 21+3 and 21+3E pay based on the poker value of the three card poker hand consisting of the player’s first two cards and dealer’s up card. The paying hands are Straight Flush, Three of a Kind, Straight and Flush. In the case of 21+3, each of these pays 9-to-1. In the case of 21+3E, the payout for these events is 30-20-10-5.
The following tables give the combinatorial analysis for 21+3 and 21+3E:
In particular the house edge for 21+3 is 3.24%, whereas the house edge for 21+3E is 13.39%. The term “Extreme” certainly describes this side bet: it is “Extremely” good for the casino and “Extremely” bad for the player.
The following Excel spread sheet allows the user to input the exact composition of the shoe and the pay table for the variation of 21+3 in use; it outputs the house edge, hit frequency and standard deviation. I suppose in some universe a spread sheet like this could be used for advantage play against 21+3. Then again, in some universe, a Komodo dragon is the current world chess champion.
Twenty_One_Plus_Three_CA
In investigating card counting 21+3E, the AP can do no better than perfect play (for example, by using the spread sheet given above), where the AP makes a wager on 21+3E if and only if he has the edge. The following table shows the results of perfect play against 21+3E in the six-deck case when the cut card is placed at 260 cards. These results confirmed my intuitive expectation that 21+3E has almost no card counting vulnerability:
The opportunity to make a 21+3E wager with the edge occurs about 3 times per 1000 hands. When the player makes a 21+3E wager, his average edge is about 4.08%. This leads to a gain of about 0.0122 units per 100 hands. If an AP is making a \$100 wager whenever he has the edge over 21+3E, and otherwise does not make a wager, then he will earn about \$1.22 per 100 hands.
The final number given in this table, the desirability index (DI), is discussed for blackjack side bets in this post. The value 0.73 given in this table shows that 21+3E has “minimal vulnerability” to advantage play. (I note that I used the standard deviation from the combinatorial analysis for 21+3E in computing the DI).
To get a different view on the vulnerability of 21+3E, I kept track of the average edge and bet frequency by the location in the shoe at the start of each hand. As noted above, I assumed the cut card was placed at 260 cards, so the simulation did not include values beyond that point. I found that there were essentially no advantageous situations before 175 cards were played from the shoe.
The following plot gives perfect-play results by first-card location, based on a simulation of one million (1,000,000) six-deck shoes with the cut card at 260 cards (click for full-sized image).
The average edge is jagged to begin with. This occurred because there were very few data points being averaged together. As the depth into the shoe increased, there were more instances of advantageous situations, so the average edge smoothed out. The average edge appears to be increasing in direct proportion to the card location, whereas the bet frequency appears to be increasing quadratically. At exactly the 260 card position, the values that the simulation produced were a bet frequency of 5.08% and an average edge of 5.52%.
My conclusion is that 21+3E has a minimal vulnerability to advantage play. No serious AP is going to give 21+3E a second thought without some other vulnerability at the game. For example, if the shuffle is highly trackable and a slug of cards of the same suit can be followed through the shuffle, then it could be very profitable to play 21+3E during the slug.

The square root of a negative number such as -4 is a complex number, and cannot be represented on the real number line. In complex analysis, the square root of -1 is represented by the imaginary unit i, which is defined as i = √(-1). Therefore, the square root of -4 can be written as:
√(-4) = √(4) * √(-1) = 2i

### Capacitive discharge
Man, am I on a roll tonight. Anyway a am looking for a formula calculate the current of a capacitive dischare, varibles: voltage, current (duh), and resistance. So far I've got this I=(((C*C)*V*R)/2). Please help me.

From your formula I think you are talking about Joules.<p>W = (C * (V^2)) * 0.5<p>For (dis)charging current the formula is<p>I = C * V /t
OR more correctly<p>Q = C * V<p>I = Q/t<p>Where 't' is the time at a particular instant and Q is the charge in Coulombs.<p>So a 100uF capacitor with 12v across it <p>Q = 1.2mC<p>After 100mS of charging time the current will be<p>I = 1.2mC /100mS = 12mA<p>Colin<p>[ September 06, 2004: Message edited by: bodgy ]</p>

### Re: Capacitive discharge
Resistance is everything. Think of a water tower and many different size pipes either feeding it or discharging it. The bigger the pipe size the less resistance, [the longer it is the more resistance] the faster it fills or empties and Vice Versa. <p>The tank size is the capacity, or capacitance, and the height of the tower is pressure [psi], or volts, while the pipe size is a division of the perfect zero ohms, [which really isn’t possible with out super cooling], so everything is more than Zero. One inch is half of two, one ohm is half of two ohms, etc.

### Re: Capacitive discharge
Hi there,<p>If you are using a cap being discharged by
a resistor you can use this 'formula' which
by the way includes the resistance and is exact:<p>i=i0*e^(-t/RC)<p>where
i is the instantaneous current at time t,
i0 is the initial current at time t=0,
t is the time in seconds,
RC is the RC time constant = R*C with
R in ohms and C in farads,<p>To get the initial current i0 knowing the
voltage across the cap Vc simply divide
Vc by the resistance R:
i0=Vc/R
where Vc is the voltage across the cap at time
t=0.<p>Also, the voltage across the cap is:
v=v0*e^(-t/RC)
where v0 is the voltage at time t=0.<p>
Take care,
Al<p>PS. The formulas like dv=i*dt/C are only
accurate for very small time intervals--
'small' relative to the time constant.

You'll find that the resistance of an arc discharge in air is a very low value. A thousand volts at a thousand amperes is an ohm, although it's over in a microsecond or so.

### Re: Capacitive discharge
Take a look at N & V magazine, Sept 2004, p.54-"The Anatomy of a Spark".
There can be a leakage path through air from high voltage of milliamps, or a catastrophic breakdown that carries thousands of amps. The energy available determines the arc properties, along with temperature, humidity, electrode shape, etc.
So the "resistance" of the discharge depends on all those factors.

### Re: Capacitive discharge
The [over] general value for an arc is 25k/v per inch. This does not include many factors, but is just a figure for Dry air, general over simplistic conditions such as leakage through a break in insulation to ground.

### Re: Capacitive discharge
Hi again,<p>bodgy:<p>The equation:
v=v0*e^(-t/RC)<p>is actually correct for a *discharging* cap,
where
v is the voltage across the cap and
v0 is the initial voltage across the cap
and the resistor is connected right across
the cap so as to discharge it.<p>
If the cap were *charging* then it would be
v=vp*[1-e^(-t/RC)]
where
v is the voltage across the cap and
vp is the power supply voltage (resistor
connects between it and the cap).<p>

### Collatz - restated without the halving.
Here's the way of reformulating Collatz chains that I have been using. This gives us a way to express the conditions for 1) the existence of a loop and 2) the conjecture being true.
Start from n, any odd number
Step 1.
Multiply by 3 and add 1 = 3n+1
Step 2
Multiply by 3 = 9n+ 3
Factor as (2^a)(an odd number)
Add 2^a = 9n+3+2^a
Step 3...
Multiply by 3 = 27n + 9 + 3(2^a)
Factor as (2^b)(an odd number)...
Add 2^b = 27n + 9 + 3(2^a) + 2^b
Repeat until we reach 2^z(n) or 2^z
As the total increases, the cumulative total is
[3^y x n] + [3^(y-1)] + [2^a x 3^(y-2)] + [2^b x 3^(y-3)] …. + [2^c x 3]+ 2^z...
The power of 3 falls by one in each term, until we reach 3^0 in the final term
The power of 2 increases in each term but can rise by more than 1 at a time – so in the example above d>c>b>a.
If the Collatz conjecture is true, we will always reach an equation of the form
[3^y x n] + [3^(y-1)] + [2^a x 3^(y-2)] + [2^b x 3^(y-3)] …. + [2^c x 3]+ 2^d = 2^z
For there to be a 3n+1 loop, which would be a counterexample to the conjecture, we would need this equation to be true:
[3^y x n] + [3^(y-1)] + [2^a x 3^(y-2)] + [2^b x 3^(y-3)] …. + [2^c x 3]+ 2^d = 2^z(n)
We can adapt this method for 5n+1 chains by replacing all the 3s with 5s.

3^(2x+1) - 26(3^x) - 9 = 0
3 (3^x)^2 -26 3^x - 9 = 0
so let y=3^x, then we have:

I am sitting with a task where I have to prove the following:
Claim: Every subset of $\mathbb{R}$, that contains an interval $I$ with $a < b$, has the same cardinality as $\mathbb{R}$.
So I think that I should prove that there exist a bijection from $I$ to $\mathbb{R}$? I'm kinda lost, and don't know how to start.
There is a lemma 3 in the book saying: Let $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ with $-\infty\neq a < b \neq \infty$. There exist a $f\colon ]-1; 1[ \to ]a; b[$ that is bijektiv. The intervals $]-1; 1[$ and $]a; b[$ has same cardinality.
Another lemma 4 says: $f\colon ]0; 1[ \to ]1; \infty[$, $x\to \frac{1}{x}$, is bijective. The intervals $f\colon ]0; 1[ \to ]1; \infty[$ have same cardinality.
(There is an image added to lemma4)
The above interval $]-1; 1[$ has same cardinality as $\mathbb{R}$, and the $f$ is bijective Any help is highly appreciated

Let $A$ be a subset that contains a non-trivial interval $I$. Then $\Bbb R=_c I\leq _c A\leq _c\Bbb R$. – Git Gud Oct 16 '13 at 11:44
Are you allowed to use the fact that cardinalities are ordered? That is, do you know that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ has a cardinality "not less than" $|\mathbb{R}|$ then it has cardinality equal to $|\mathbb{R}|$? – Eric Stucky Oct 16 '13 at 11:59
Hi. Yes I think I am. Isn't that what the Bernsteins-Schröders sentence says? – user1960836 Oct 16 '13 at 12:02
Hints:
First prove that any two non-empty open intervals have the same cardinality.
Second, pass now to use the nice interval $\;(-\pi/2\,,\,\pi/2)\;$ and a rather nice, simple trigonometric function to show equipotency with $\;\Bbb R\;$
-
There is also a simple rational function that maps $(-1,1)$ to $\mathbb R$ bijectively. – lhf Oct 16 '13 at 11:51
Thanks for the replies people. I am really not good at proofs in maths. That's why I have paid for the course that I am following, so that I can learn more. The posts you have provided so far, doesn't help me more than the lemmas provided, which I can't use to my advantage. Please don't understand this in a negative way, I just don't know how else to say it. So can anyone be a little more specific, or maybe with examples? Thanks – user1960836 Oct 16 '13 at 11:56
For a bijection from $I$ to $\mathbb R$ chose $$f: (a,b) \to (-1,1), \qquad x\mapsto 2\frac{x-a}{b-a} - 1$$ which is (obviously) bijective. Then $$g: (-1,1) \to \mathbb R, \qquad \begin{cases}\frac{1}{x} - 1&x\in(0,1)\\0&x=0\\\frac{1}{x} + 1&x\in(-1,0)\end{cases}$$ (Taken from Lemma 4) $$h := g\circ f : (a,b) \to\mathbb R$$ is bijective as a composition of bijective maps.
-
At this part: f:(a,b)→(−1,1),x↦x−ab−a−1. How did you get to -1 at: x↦x−ab−a−1? Also... What is the conclusion on this: h:=g∘f:(a,b)→R? Why do you do that part? – user1960836 Oct 16 '13 at 13:01
Please use MathJax, your text is very hard to read ($\$\text{\frac\{a\}\{b\}}\$$= \frac a b) Second, f(a) = -1, f(b) = 1 - since f is linear we know by mean-value theorem f((a,b)) = (-1,1). The h is one bijection from (a,b) onto \mathbb R – AlexR Oct 16 '13 at 13:24 I see that you edited the f function and added the number 2 suddenly? And thank you very much for the help and comments. I am thinking. There should be a comment on the interval (a, b), according to Bernsteins-Schröders sentence? won't it clarify the argument why f is bijective? I know that you can just test it with values, but still, for a more formal argument and proof? – user1960836 Oct 16 '13 at 14:06 I am trying to figure out how you got to that formular of the function f. If it is not too much to ask, I'd be really grateful if you could tell me – user1960836 Oct 16 '13 at 14:23 It's a solution of a simple linear equation: Find f(x) = ax + b s.t. f(x_0) = y_0, f(x_1) = y_1. Using the constraints$$f(a) = -1, f(b) = 1$$you get the desired result. The inverse of f can be found by the same method and$$f^{-1}(-1) = a, f^{-1}(1) = b – AlexR Oct 16 '13 at 15:29
No one has pointed out yet that to prove the statement of the OP (where a subset contains an interval), you're also going to need to invoke the theorem that bears the names Cantor, Schroeder, and Bernstein (in some order or other).
The idea is to construct an injection from $\mathbb{R}$ into the subset $S$ by injecting it into an interval $(a, b)$ inside $S$ (the other answers describe how to do this), and of course we have an injection from $S$ into $\mathbb{R}$ given by subset inclusion. Then apply the Cantor-Schroeder-Bernstein theorem, which says that if there is an injective function $f: A \to B$ and an injective function $g: B \to A$, then there exists a bijection $\phi: A \to B$.

The thermodynamic efficiency $\eta$ is calculated by $\eta= \frac{W_{out}}{Q_{in}}$
Using the first law of thermodynamics we usually say that $W_{out}$ is $Q_c+Q_h$, where $Q_c$ is the heat dissipated into a cold reservoir, and $Q_h$ is the heat absorbed by a hot reservoir. Both are measured within the system, such that $Q_c<0$ and $Q_h>0$
However I object to that. $W_{out}$ is not $Q_c+Q_h$. That calculation is simply the magnitude of net energy in the process due to work. Namely, its considering the $W_{input}$, done by the surroundings on the gas, to calculate the $W_{output}$.
Consider the a Carnot engine. I would say that the work output is the area underneath the expansion isotherm, and the expansion adiabat. All other works are done on the system and are not "outputs".
You might say that the other works are "negative outputs". But although this makes sense in a mathematical sense, it doesn't make practical sense that this should be a $W_{output}$.
• For starters, you can tell us what $Q_c$ and $Q_h$ are. Feb 11, 2015 at 18:33
• Ok, I've done it on my 2nd paragraph. thx
– DLV
Feb 11, 2015 at 18:40
• Hmm. Not sure I follow ... Is the problem the terminology, and what exactly is meant by "work output"? Does it help to consider $W_{out}$ as being the net work, which for an engine is "output"? I think that's the intended meaning. Feb 11, 2015 at 23:04
• So I'm saying Qc+Qh is not the work coming out of the system. This calculation is considering work done on the system. The work coming out of the system or "output", shouldn't have anything to do with the work coming into it if it really is an "output".
– DLV
Feb 11, 2015 at 23:36
• Well, it is the net output, and I think that's the sense of the word that is intended. Feb 12, 2015 at 2:45
The Carnot cycle is ... well ... a cycle. In each turn of the cycle, the system returns to exactly the same state over and over again. Pick a point, call it the beginning of the cycle. After one turn of the cycle, the system is where it started, with exactly the same energy it had when it started. During the cycle, it has done some work. Where has that energy come from? It can't have come from the system, the system has exactly the same energy it had when it started. The energy can only have come from the heat reservoirs. $Q_h$ is removed from the hot side, $Q_c$ is deposited the cold side. The net energy, $Q_h + Q_c$ has been converted to work. The Carnot engine provides the mechanism for the transfer of the energy from heat to work.
• Hey, I don't think this is my question. My question regards the definition of $\eta$ and why $Qh+Qc$ is not a valid calculation of $W_{out}$ Thanks. | 737 | 2,750 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.53125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | latest | en | 0.950951 |

Chapter 3: Answers to Questions and Problems
1.
a. When P = \$12, R = (\$12)(1) = \$12. When P = \$10, R = (\$10)(2) = \$20. Thus, the price decrease results in an \$8 increase in total revenue, so demand is elastic over this range of prices.
b. When P = \$4, R = (\$4)(5) = \$20. When P = \$2, R = (\$2)(6) = \$12. Thus, the price decrease results in an \$8 decrease total revenue, so demand is inelastic over this range of prices.
c. Recall that total revenue is maximized at the point where demand is unitary elastic. We also know that marginal revenue is zero at this point. For a linear demand curve, marginal revenue lies halfway between the demand curve and the vertical axis. In this case, marginal revenue is a line starting at a price of \$14 and intersecting the quantity axis at a value of Q = 3.5. Thus, marginal revenue is 0 at 3.5 units, which corresponds to a price of \$7 as shown below.

The own price elasticity of demand is simply the coefficient of ln P x , which is –
0.5. Since this number is less than one in absolute value, demand is inelastic.
The cross-price elasticity of demand is simply the coefficient of ln P y , which is –
2.5. Since this number is negative, goods X and Y are complements.
The income elasticity of demand is simply the coefficient of ln M, which is 1. Since this number is positive, good X is a normal good.
The advertising elasticity of demand is simply the coefficient of ln A, which is 2.

. Solving, we see that the price
of good Y would have to decrease by 10 percent in order to increase the consumption of good X by 50 percent.
6. Using the change in revenue formula for two products, ΔR = [\$30,000(1 2.5)+ \$70,000()1.1 ](.01) = \$320 . Thus, a 1 percent increase in the price of good X would cause revenues from both goods to increase by \$320.

Thus, the demand for your batteries is given by ln Q =−1.29
. Since this is a log-linear demand equation, the best estimate of the income elasticity of demand for your product is -.03: Your batteries are an inferior good. However, note the estimated income elasticity is very close to zero (implying that a 3 percent reduction in global incomes would increase the demand for your product by less than one tenth of one percent). More importantly, the estimated income elasticity is not statistically different from zero (the 95 percent confidence interval ranges from a low of -.22 to a high of .16, with a t-statistic that is well below 2 in absolute value). On balance, this means that a 3 percent decline in global incomes is unlikely to impact the sales of your product. Note that the R-square is reasonably high, suggesting the model explains 94 percent of the total variation in the demand for this product. Likewise, the F-test indicates that the regression fit is highly significant.

Thus, the least squares regression line is ln Q = 4.29 1.38ln P . The own price elasticity of demand for broilers is –1.38. From the t-statistic, this is statistically different from zero (the t-statistic is well over 2 in absolute value). The R-square is relatively high, suggesting that the model explains 94 percent of the total variation in the demand for chicken. Given that your current revenues are \$750,000 and the elasticity of demand is –1.38, we may use the following formula to determine how much you must change price to increase revenues by \$50,000:

20. Table 3-11 contains the output from the linear regression model. That model indicates that R 2 = .55, or that 55 percent of the variability in the quantity demanded is explained by price and advertising. In contrast, in Table 3-12 the R 2 for the log-linear model is .40, indicating that only 40 percent of the variability in the natural log of quantity is explained by variation in the natural log of price and the natural log of advertising. Therefore, the linear regression model appears to do a better job explaining variation in the dependent variable. This conclusion is further supported by comparing the adjusted R 2 s and the F-statistics in the two models. In the linear regression model the adjusted R 2 is greater than in the log-linear model: .54 compared to .39, respectively. The F-statistic in the linear regression model is 58.61, which is larger than the F-statistic of 32.52 in the log-linear regression model. Taken together these three measures suggest that the linear regression model fits the data better than the log-linear model. Each of the three variables in the linear regression model is statistically significant; in absolute value the t-statistics are greater than two. In contrast, only two of the three variables are statistically significant in the log-linear model; the intercept is not statistically significant since the t-statistic is less than two in absolute value.

The manager of Pacific Cellular estimated that the short-term price elasticity of demand was inelastic. In the market for cellular service, contracts prevent many customers from immediately responding to price increases. Therefore, it is not surprising to observe inelastic in the short-term. However, as contracts expire and customers have more time to search for alternatives, quantity demanded is likely to drop off much more. Given a year or two, the demand for cellular service is much more elastic. The price increase has caused Pacific to lose more customers than they initially estimated.
The owner is confusing the demand for gasoline for the entire U.S. with demand for the gasoline for individual gasoline stations. There are not a great number of substitutes for gasoline, but in large towns there are usually a very high number of substitutes for gasoline from an individual station. In order to make an informed decision, the owner needs to know the own price elasticity of demand for gasoline from his stations. Since gas prices are posted on big billboards, and gas stations in cities are generally close together, demand for gas from a small group of individual stations tends to be fairly elastic. | 6,929 | 23,587 | {"found_math": false, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 0, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.953125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | latest | en | 0.850199 |

I know Binomial Theorem is a quick way of expanding a Binomial Expression that has been raised to some power i.e ##(a+b)^n##. But why is it so important to expand ##(a+b)^n##. What is the practical use of this in Science and Engineering.
Here is some background:
http://ualr.edu/lasmoller/Newton.html
Newton showed how to use fractional exponents; this leads to infinite series which converge if the exponent is between -1 and +1. In many cases the first few terms are used in approximations, especially if the expression is of the form (1+x)^n.

Hello UltrafastPED,
The link that you gave didn't answered my question. My question isn't whether ##(a+b)^n## is important or ##(1+x)^n##. My question is Why there is so much need to solve equations like ##(a+b)^n## or ##(1+x)^n##, So that we have devised Binomial Theorem to solve such equations. When in Engineering and Science we come across such equations.
Whenever we need to expand (a+b)$^{n}$, application of the binomial theorem means we don't have to multiply a bunch of binomial expressions together. Kids nowadays take for granted having a symbolic algebra program like Mathematica or Maple, but in the olden days, the B.T. could save a lot of time doing algebra (and be more accurate to boot, avoiding a lot of mistakes which might otherwise go undetected). The binomial coefficients are also the same as the entries in Pascal's triangle, and there is a simple algorithm which allows one to calculate these entries by using the first two rows of the triangle.

You didn't understand my question. Please read my above comment on "UltrafastPED"
We need it when we need it. It's like asking where in Science and Engineering we need the quadratic equation.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about mathematics. The binomial theorem wasn't devised because people were so overwhelmed with multiplying monomials together that they needed a better way to do them. The binomial theorem was devised because someone noticed that multiplying a series of identical monomials together gave certain coefficients to the various terms in the product. It was later discovered that these coefficients bore a certain relationship with the number of combinations one could have when selecting two or more objects. Later on, other properties were discovered when the binomial theorem was extended to non negative integer exponents. There are lots of things in mathematics which have no or very little practical application, but it's nice to have them sitting on the shelf when an application or use arises.
If you understand it, it becomes kind of obvious, so you can see that it's just a cute observation, rather than some humongous theory you have to spend 20 years trying to understand, and then the practical relevance is...well, sort of irrelevant.
The binomial theorem can be of great help in analysis if you are trying get some estimates, and you have something in the form of (a+b)n. I know it's used several times for this reason in baby rudin. Practically, it can be a lot faster to evaluate the coefficients of each term then by just multiplying each term out, like you mentioned. | 920 | 4,235 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 0, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 4.125 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | latest | en | 0.918879 |

### X is Y Percent of What Calculator
is % of what?
Using this device you can find any kind of percentage in three ways. So, we think you reached us searching for answers like:1) What is 10 percent (%) of 350000?2) 10 is what percent of 350000?Or might be: how much is 10 percent of 350000?
See the solutions to these difficulties below.
If friend are searching for a
### 1) What is 10% the 350000?
Always use this formula to uncover a percentage:
% / 100 = part / whole replace the offered values:
10 / 100 = component / 350000
Cross multiply:
10 x 350000 = 100 x Part, or
3500000 = 100 x part
Now, division by 100 and get the answer:
Part = 3500000 / 100 = 35000
### 2) What is 10 the end of 350000?
This inquiry is indistinguishable to: "10 is what percent that 350000?" Or What percent 10 is the end of 350000?
Use again the same percentage formula:
% / 100 = part / entirety replace the provided values:
% / 100 = 10 / 350000
Cross multiply:
% x 350000 = 10 x 100
Divide by 350000 to obtain the percentage:
% = (10 x 100) / 350000 = 0.0028571428571429%
A shorter means to calculation x out of y
You can easily uncover 10 is out of 350000, in one step, through simply separating 10 by 350000, then multiplying the an outcome by 100. So,
10 is out of 350000 = 10/350000 x 100 = 0.0028571428571429%

## Solve Sudokus using MILP
In this vignettes we will solve Sudoku puzzles using MILP. Sudoku in its most popular form is a constraint satisfaction problem and by setting the objective function to $$0$$ you transform the optimization problem into a pure constraint satistication problem. In this document we will consider Sudokus in a 9x9 grid with 3x3 sub-matrices.
Of course you can formulate an objective function as well that directs the solver towards solutions maximizing a certain linear function.
## The model
The idea is to introduce a binary variable $$x$$ with three indexes $$i, j, k$$ that is $$1$$ if and only if the number $$k$$ is in cell $$i, j$$.
library(ompr)
library(dplyr)
n <- 9
model <- MIPModel() %>%
# The number k stored in position i,j
add_variable(x[i, j, k], i = 1:n, j = 1:n, k = 1:9, type = "binary") %>%
# no objective
set_objective(0) %>%
# only one number can be assigned per cell
add_constraint(sum_expr(x[i, j, k], k = 1:9) == 1, i = 1:n, j = 1:n) %>%
# each number is exactly once in a row
add_constraint(sum_expr(x[i, j, k], j = 1:n) == 1, i = 1:n, k = 1:9) %>%
# each number is exactly once in a column
add_constraint(sum_expr(x[i, j, k], i = 1:n) == 1, j = 1:n, k = 1:9) %>%
# each 3x3 square must have all numbers
add_constraint(sum_expr(x[i, j, k], i = 1:3 + sx, j = 1:3 + sy) == 1,
sx = seq(0, n - 3, 3), sy = seq(0, n - 3, 3), k = 1:9)

Strategy Assuming only statistical variation Assuming only statistical variation Carry out measurement many times Carry out measurement many times Error decreases as number of measurements increase Error decreases as number of measurements increase
In fact, theres a huge amount of statistical machinery going on with this……. Assume the Central Limit Theorem If random samples of n observations y 1, y 2, …y n are drawn from a population of finite mean and variance 2, then when n is sufficiently large, the sampling 2, then when n is sufficiently large, the sampling distribution of the sample mean can be approximated by a normal density with mean y = and standard deviation y = n 1/2 deviation y = n 1/2 THE MOST IMPORTANT THEOREM OF STATISTICS
Consequences of CLT Averages taken from any distribution Averages taken from any distribution (your experimental data) will have a normal (your experimental data) will have a normal distribution distribution The error for such an observable will The error for such an observable will decrease slowly as the number of decrease slowly as the number of observations increase observations increase But nobody tells you how big the sample has to be..
Normal distribution Averages of N.D. distribution distribution Averages of distribution
Uniform distribution Averages of U.D.
Research is more than Statistics 101 !! Very often, we are looking at quite complicated objects, not just single variables. Even if we assume CLT, then it is not clear how to propagate the uncertainty through to the final objects we are looking at.

Basic idea of Bootstrap Originally, from some list of data, one computes an object. Originally, from some list of data, one computes an object. Create an artificial list by randomly drawing elements from that list. Some elements will be picked more than once. Create an artificial list by randomly drawing elements from that list.

A simple example Data available comparing grades before and after leaving graduate school amongst 15 U.S. Universities.

Some linear correlation between grades (high incoming usually means high outgoing). =0.776 Some linear correlation between grades (high incoming usually means high outgoing). =0.776 But how reliable is this result ?

Addendum : The Jack-knife Jack-knife is a special kind of bootstrap. Jack-knife is a special kind of bootstrap. Each bootstrap subsample has all but one of the original elements of the list.

How many bootstraps ? No clear answer to this. Lots of theorems on asymptotic convergence, but no real estimates ! No clear answer to this.

Good agreement for Normal (Gaussian) distributions, skewed distributions tend to more problematic, particularly for the tails, (boot strap underestimates the errors).

Case Study I : Phylogenetic Trees Get a multiple sequence alignment C1 C2 C3 S1 A A G S2 A A A S3 G G A S4 A G A Construct a Tree using your favourite method (Parsimony, ML, etc..)

Having created an ensemble of Phylogenetic trees, one can elucidate the statistical frequency of various features of the tree. E.G. Do two sequences lie in the same clade ? Can this be used for statistical significance ? This is very much an open question !!!! (Be cautious, and assume not…...)

Ideally, what you want is the following
Formally, we get a joint probability distribution which takes the form : P(G1,G2,….) = … x P(G3 | G1, G2 ) x … … x P(G7 | G3 ) x … … x P(G7 | G3 ) x …etc…. More importantly, we can tell which genes directly affect which genes (e.g. G1 and G2 acting on G3) and which ones are indirect (e.g. G6 acting on G3)
But there is a problem…. Finding the right network is an NP-hard problem. Finding the right network is an NP-hard problem. Have to apply various heuristic techniques….

Also, given the paucity of data it is not clear that any given connection between two genes is not a spurious correlation that will vanish with more statistics.

Summary of the Bootstrap method Original object O (a tree, a best fit...) is computed from a list of data (numbers, sequences, microarray data,….). Construct a new list, with the same number of elements, from the original list by randomly picking elements from the list. Any one element from the list can be picked any number of times. Compute new object, call it O 1 Repeat the process many times (typically 100-1000). The elements {O 1, O 2, ……} are assumed to be taken from a statistical distribution, so one can compute averages, variances, etc.

The Erotic Sleepover
by BrettJ©
"Yeah, but he still hasn't got as much style as Daddy," Jenna countered. "That matters to a girl, it's just as important that you know how to use it as it is how big it is. Don't you agree, Riley?"
"I, uh, I really couldn't say," the girl giggled nervously.
"Oops, sorry, dumb me," Jenna laughed. "Let's fix that. Why don't you show us what you wore under your coat? Then you and I can help undress Daddy and fuck his brains out."
With a bit of flourish, Riley threw her coat to the floor. Everyone gasped as she had surprised them all. Black PVC, a corset top and a tight pair of shorts. She had worn stockings and black stilettos and looked exquisitely trashy. Just then, Veronique arrived and gave her family a big hug while she stared at the stunning blonde in fetish attire.
"Fucking A!" Jenna smiled, kissing her lover. "Fuck, Daddy's already getting hard. Let's show him his little sluts know how to please him."
Riley was grateful that Jenna had been showing her how to give head using her favorite dildo. As Jenna tugged her father's cock free of his pants, Riley slipped her mouth around his shaft and began sucking him. She didn't gag and discovered that she really liked the taste. Jenna joined her a minute later and both naughty girls were sucking Mike's cock while his wife and daughter finger-fucked each other on the nearby sofa.
"Damn, you gorgeous bitches, this is incredible, you sure know your way around oral sex," Mike groaned. He was almost afraid his legs wouldn't hold him much longer.
"I told you Daddy," Veronique giggled. "All of the women in this family are crazy for oral sex and we're cock-crazy sluts, too."
Riley let Mike's cock slip from her mouth with a "pop". "Hey, I'm not a member of this family and I love oral sex and I think I might be a cock-crazy slut, too!" She giggled.
"You're practically a member of the family, you are my daughter's girlfriend," Kelly chuckled. "Girls, I think Mike's going to cum -- so ease off. Riley, if you're ready, I think my husband wants to fuck you now."
Riley nodded. "I am ready, I've been ready for days, but I want my baby in on this too. Jenna, I'm going to have your Daddy fuck me from behind. Go in front of me on the arm rest of the sofa and I'll eat your pussy. I want you to be in on my first fuck, too."
Jenna nodded and quickly did as she was asked. She had hoped Riley would make such a suggestion because she wanted to be a part of this, although she also wanted Riley to be comfortable with her choice. Evidently, she was. Mike's wife and older daughter were helping to undress him, unable to avoid naughty little kisses while they did so. Veronique even squeezed his cock a time or two and winked at Riley. "This is going to be a really hot show," she told her girlfriend. "I remember the first time Daddy fucked me, I thought I had died and gone to the gates of heaven. It might hurt for a second Riley, but after that, you won't believe how good it feels. Daddy knows what a girl likes and you are never going to forget this." She leaned over and gave Riley a kiss for good luck, which was repeated by Kelly. Mike's fingers had been grazing the young blonde's pussy. She was wet enough.
"Are you ready, Riley?" He asked.
"Oh yes, please fuck me," Riley cried out. To brace herself, she buried her face in Jenna's cunt and began to eat her with relish. An instant later, she felt the force of Mike's thick cock penetrating her walls. After that, it was nothing but pure erotic bliss. There had been no pain and Veronique was right, it was good, it was so, SO good. "Oh God, yes, yes, fuck me, fuck me DADDY!" She groaned out. Mike chuckled. Since they all did think of her as family, why not call him Daddy? It turned him on and he grabbed her smooth hips and kept up a nice rhythm. His "daughter" was eating Jenna and her face was contorted as it usually was in the throes of pleasure.
Veronique was straddling her mom's face and Kelly was lapping at her pussy like it was fine wine. She managed to lean over and kiss her father and smile at her sister. A lot of people might have thought they were crazy, but the lifestyle worked for them. Peter would have to learn that she wasn't going to change; he would have to accept that she loved her family in this way and that girls were a huge part of her sexual makeup. Why would anyone not want to do it with women as gorgeous as her mom, sister and now, Riley? The times Peter had fucked Kelly, she had wrung his balls dry and Jenna was more than ready to screw him. If he was enough of an idiot to blow that opportunity, it was his loss.
Riley was cumming on the wonderful cock buried deep inside of her. Fucking was great and she looked forward to being fucked some more. "Daddy" was a great fuck and she wondered what other men were like. Once she hit university, she would find out. It would always be Jenna who remained her truest love, but Jenna wasn't greedy. Obviously, because she shared the love of her family as often as they were able. Riley felt her pussy contract and when Mike pulled out, she and Jenna got his cum. Her first taste of spunk and she was sharing it with Jenna -- how perfect!
After a bit more swapping of bodies, something wonderful was announced. Mike and Kelly had secured Jenna and Riley an invitation to the next meeting of their little "swap club", if they so desired. From the look on the girls' faces, they sure would be in attendance. A second announcement floored Riley and took everyone but Kelly by complete surprise. Also in attendance would be the two newest recruits to the swinging lifestyle -- Riley's own parents!

I'm following Wen's book on Quantum field theory, and I'm struggling with section 2.2.1 on linear response and response functions.
Specifically I'm unable to reproduce equation 2.2.7 in which the book computes the linear response of the harmonic oscillator for the ground state in which the perturbation is on x , and the observable state is also x
From the response function we have: $$D(t,t') = -i\Theta(t-t') <\psi_0| [\hat{O}_1(t), \hat{O}_2(t')]|\psi_0>$$ And as I mentioned, I'm interested in the computation in which $\hat{O}_1 = \hat{O}_2=\hat{x}$
The following steps are the ones I'm struggling on.
$$D(t,t') = -i\Theta(t-t') <0| [\hat{x}(t), \hat{x}(t')]|0> = -2\Theta(t-t')<0|\hat{x}^2|0>sin(w(t-t'))$$
And then, if the perturbation is $\hat{O}_1 = -q\hat{x}\varepsilon(t) = -q\hat{x}\varepsilon e^{-0^+|t|}$ $$d = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}D(t-t')e^{-0^+|t'|}(-\varepsilon)dt' = -q^2D_{\omega=0}\varepsilon = \dfrac{2q^2<0|\hat{x}|0>}{\omega_0}\varepsilon$$
With $D_\omega = \int_{-\infty}^\infty D(t)e^{i\omega t}dt$
I would be very grateful if someone could explain to me the algebra, as I have been unable to reproduce the results.
I have typed the equations as they appear on the book, save for 2 changes:
1. I replaced the charge $e$ with $q$ to avoid possible confusion with the exponentials
2. I wrote all $x$ as operators
On a final note, the book does not make any mention on the quadratic term of the harmonic oscillator, so I don't know if its written as $\omega$ or $\omega_0$, I can only think that the different angular frecuencies come from a typo.
• I think it may help anyone who may be able to help me if I write what I did, and maybe they would point a mistake. For the [x(t), x(t')] I tried 2 things, the first was to use the heisenberg representation, but got stuck as the operators don't commute with the hamiltionian, nor the time evolution operator. Then I tried using the solution (x(t)=A sinwt + Bcos(wt)) from the equation $\dot x = -i [H,x]$, but I concluded that [x(t),x(t')] = 0 For the fourier transform I assumed the previous and treated the integral as a fourier transform, but the transform is different to the one shown. Thanks – Joafigue Apr 16 '16 at 21:16
In my copy of the book, the expression for the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian is given as $H=\dfrac{1}{2m}(p^2+m^2\omega_0^2x^2)$, so there is no typo, but copies may differ.
I consider Heisenberg operators $x(t)$ and $p(t)$, and define $p_0 \equiv p(0)$ and $x_0 = x(0)$. Standard quantum mechanics textbooks, such as Messiah chapter XII, will give the essential results on the harmonic oscillator, in particular (Messiah XII.43):
$<n|x^2|n> = \dfrac{E_n}{m \omega_0^2}$, so that $<0|x^2|0> = \dfrac{\hbar}{2m \omega_0}$.
Concerning your questions: For the first part, your comment is close to a proper derivation: take $x(t) = x_0 \cos(\omega_0 t) + \dfrac{p_0}{m\omega_0} \sin(\omega_0 t)$ (Messiah XII. 34) but keep in mind that $x_0$ and $p_0$ are operators, and they do not commute: $[x_0,p_0] = i\hbar$. If you take this into account, you find $$[x(t), x(t')] = -i\dfrac{\hbar}{m \omega_0} \sin(\omega_0 (t - t')) = -2i<0|x^2|0> \sin(\omega_0 (t - t')).$$ This shows the first relation you were looking for: $$D(t-t') = -2<0|x^2|0> \Theta(t-t') \sin(\omega_0 (t - t'))$$
With this you can handle the second point of your question: $$d=2e^2 \mathcal{E} <0|x^2|0> \int_{-\infty}^t e^{0^+t'} \sin(\omega_0(t-t'))dt' \\ =2e^2 \mathcal{E} <0|x^2|0> \int_{-\infty}^t \dfrac{e^{i\omega_0(t-t')}-e^{i\omega_0(t-t')}}{2i}e^{0^+t'}=\dfrac{2e^2 \mathcal{E} <0|x^2|0>}{\omega_0}.$$ | 1,235 | 3,630 | {"found_math": true, "script_math_tex": 0, "script_math_asciimath": 0, "math_annotations": 0, "math_alttext": 0, "mathml": 0, "mathjax_tag": 0, "mathjax_inline_tex": 1, "mathjax_display_tex": 1, "mathjax_asciimath": 0, "img_math": 0, "codecogs_latex": 0, "wp_latex": 0, "mimetex.cgi": 0, "/images/math/codecogs": 0, "mathtex.cgi": 0, "katex": 0, "math-container": 0, "wp-katex-eq": 0, "align": 0, "equation": 0, "x-ck12": 0, "texerror": 0} | 3.5625 | 4 | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | latest | en | 0.907907 |

# Break All the Rules - Answers to Part Two
The answers to Part 2 of our QC basic interpretation series. Now we see what happens when we have 2 controls, and need to interpret across materials, across levels, and across runs.
## Break All the Rules! (Answers to Part Two)
#### Sten Westgard, MSNovember 2015
We're continuing in our effort to break all the "Westgard Rules." As we'll soon see, Part One was easy - just one control to worry about. Now that we've got two controls, we're going to have to start looking in many directions to detect the errors.
### The data - converted to z-scores
Recall that low control has a mean of 47 and an SD of 3 and a high control has a mean of 71 and an SD of 8. Rather than deal in the "raw" numbers, we're going to convert those values into z-scores, which tell you how many standard deviations each point is from the mean. It's easier to pick up the rule violations this way.

Finally, here is the third set of Levey-Jennings charts for the values 60 through 90:
Remember the caveats:
• We are running TWO controls per run; assume each pair of values represents one run
• We're NOT going to look for 2s violations. Let's break that habit right now. In any case, I didn't generate these data points randomly, so we should not expect to see a certain number "natural false rejections" in the form of 2s outliers
• We ARE going to try to find outliers of the following "Westgard Rules": 1:3s/2:2s/R:4s/4:1s/8:x
• We're NOT going to sink into the swamp that is the repeating of controls. So don't assume anything you see is a repeated control - just stick with "in" or "out"
So, at the end of this, can you answer the following questions?
• How many rule violations were there? 17 violations
• Which rules were violated and how many times?
• 1:3s (2 times)
• 2:2s (4 times)
• R:4s (3 times)
• 4:1s (4 times)
• 8:x violations (4 times)
• What would be different if I told you that only the "Westgard Rules" 1:3s/2:2s/R:4s were necessary?
• Ignore the 4:1s and 8:x violations because they aren't significant errors
• What would be different if I told you that only the 1:3s control rule was necessary?
• Only 3-4 violations
• What's the extra little error that exists in these charts and data points?

See definition of the derivative and derivative as a function. The absolute value function is defined piecewise, with an apparent switch in behavior as the independent variable x goes from negative to positive values. Both continuous and differentiable. I calculated the derivative of this function as: $$\frac{6x^3-4x}{3\sqrt[3]{(x^3-x)^2}}$$ Now, in order to find and later study non-differentiable points, I must find the values which make the argument of the root equal to zero: It is differentiable on the open interval (a, b) if it is differentiable at every number inthe interval. is singular at x = 0 even though it always lies between -1 and 1. Neither continuous nor differentiable. Examine the differentiability of functions in R by drawing the diagrams. Question from Dave, a student: Hi. Justify your answer. That is, the graph of a differentiable function must have a (non-vertical) tangent line at each point in its domain, be relatively "smooth" (but not necessarily mathematically smooth), and cannot contain any breaks, corners, or cusps. In summary, a function that has a derivative is continuous, but there are continuous functions that do not have a derivative. Proof. a) it is discontinuous, b) it has a corner point or a cusp . {\displaystyle \wp }) or the Weierstrass sigma, zeta, or eta functions. The differentiability theorem states that continuous partial derivatives are sufficient for a function to be differentiable.It's important to recognize, however, that the differentiability theorem does not allow you to make any conclusions just from the fact that a function has discontinuous partial derivatives. A function which jumps is not differentiable at the jump nor is one which has a cusp, like |x| has at x = 0. say what it does right near 0 but it sure doesn't look like a straight line. (ii) The graph of f comes to a point at x 0 (either a sharp edge ∨ or a sharp peak ∧ ) (iii) f is discontinuous at x 0. In calculus, a differentiable function is a continuous function whose derivative exists at all points on its domain. These are function that are not differentiable when we take a cross section in x or y The easiest examples involve … . #color(white)"sssss"# This happens at #a# if #color(white)"sssss"# #lim_(hrarr0^-) (f(a+h)-f(a))/h != lim_(hrarr0^+) (f(a+h)-f(a))/h # c) It has a vertical tangent line Barring those problems, a function will be differentiable everywhere in its domain. The Floor and Ceiling Functions are not differentiable at integer values, as there is a discontinuity at each jump. We can see that the only place this function would possibly not be differentiable would be at $$x=-1$$. Anyway . removing it just discussed is called "l' Hospital's rule". . In the case of an ODE y n = F ( y ( n − 1) , . We've proved that f is differentiable for all x except x=0. It can be proved that if a function is differentiable at a point, then it is continuous there. In particular, a function $$f$$ is not differentiable at $$x = a$$ if the graph has a sharp corner (or cusp) at the point (a, f (a)). You probably know this, just couldn't type it. we define f(x) to be , There is vertical tangent for nπ. As we start working on functions that are continuous but not differentiable, the easiest ones are those where the partial derivatives are not defined. An important point about Rolle’s theorem is that the differentiability of the function $$f$$ is critical. But the relevant quotient mayhave a one-sided limit at a, and hence a one-sided derivative. For example if I have Y = X^2 and it is bounded on closed interval [1,4], then is the derivative of the function differentiable on the closed interval [1,4] or open interval (1,4).
