/an/ here, they say they're collaborating with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant native trees species on habitats suitable for restoration across multiple countries.

You want the ideal gas law: PV/nT=R, where P=pressure, V=volume, n=quantity (number of molecules), T=temperature, R=ideal gas constant (= product of Boltzmann constant and Avogadro constant).

If you increase n while keeping V and T constant, P increases in proportion.

Boyle's law: P∝1/V => PV∝1
Charles's law: V∝T => V/T∝1
Avogadro's law: V∝n => V/n∝1
Gay-Lussac's law: P∝T => P/T∝1

The ideal gas law combines the above into PV∝nT => PV/nT∝1

Illegible question, try rewriting in a clear fashion.

[math]\frac{ \partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2} - 2 \frac{\partial ^2 u}{ \partial x \partial y} + \frac{ \partial ^2 u}{\partial y^2}= (\frac{ \partial ^2 }{\partial x^2} - 2 \frac{\partial}{ \partial x \partial y} + \frac{ \partial}{\partial y^2}) u=0[/math].
Now you've got a nice operator that indicates the direction in which u doesn't change, and you'll multiply it by [math] \partial y^2 [/math] and cancel stuff out, because we can't have fractions with empty numerators.

As always for problems in calc and DEs, in doubt, turn your brain off and think "what would a physicist do?"

There are 36 possible results for throwing two dice. There are 11 cases where one is 6 (6 where the first one is 6, 6 where the second one is, and we remove the double). Out of those eleven, there are two where the sum is 7. That gives 2/11.

To increase energy capacity, you can connect cells in parallel (low voltage, high current) or in series (high voltage, low current).

The parallel case typically requires load balancing: ensuring that the current is divided equally amongst cells, which requires some amount of circuitry per cell. And if you have hundreds of them, that's going to cost. An added factor is that you need thick cables to carry thousands of amps.

With the serial case, the same current flows through each cell in the chain; there's no need to actively balance them. And you don't need thick cables.

In practice, you use a combination of the two: multiple cells wired in series to produce a high-voltage battery, then a few such batteries wired in parallel, with a regulator circuit for each battery. The number of batteries versus the number of cells per battery will be a trade-off of several factors.

The limiting factor on voltage is partially safety, and partially the cost and efficiency of the electronics. Components which can handle significantly more than a few hundred volts are somewhat niche items, so compared to more mainstream components they don't have the same economies of scale (making them more expensive), nor have they had the same amount of R&D (making them less efficient).

I assume there is an international standard for EEG caps, but i haven't been able to find what brain regions + functions relate to what electrode placements.

Second, is this concept ever applied to the fields of psychology and sociology?

It depends. Ideal gas law is best at pressures that are small compared to critical pressure and temperatures that are high compared to critical temperature. Otherwise, use a compresibility factor/chart. (Pv=ZRT) You can also use some other equation of state like Van der Waals. There are many options to chose from!

For FVM (I don't know FEM), certain simplification are made to the governing equations, this means that the equations being solved aren't actually the correct equations, so the answer we get is an approximate one. This is compensated for by solving the equations multiple times and using the solution of each iteration for the next. If this is done correctly, the solution will converge to the correct value.

The information that's missing is that [math] (a_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N} }[/math] is a sequence of positive numbers, otherwise the n-th root may be undefined when n is even. The full statement is the following:
Let [math] (a_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N} }[/math] be a sequence of positive real numbers. Then:
[math] \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} \leq \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{a_n} \leq \limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{a_n} \leq \limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} [/math].
Of course when a sequence is convergent then [math] \liminf = \limsup [/math] and thus you get the equality you were told. I'll explain assuming the limits are both convergent to a real number k

The intuitive reason is simply because [math] \lim \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = k < \infty [/math] basically just tells that the further you go into the sequence, the closer each element becomes to just the previous element times k, or in other words [math] a_{n+1} \approx ka_n [/math]. Apply that for every element to the previous one, and you find that (very roughly), [math] a_{n} \approx k^{n-1}a_1 [/math]. Of course, this estimate could be very inaccurate for small n, but limits don't care about small n. So even if the first term of the sequence may be annoying at first, the bigger n becomes the more irrelevant that first element becomes, since the whole product just behaves like the natural powers of k. And you may already notice what happens if you take the n-th root, in that case.

For the formal proof, you might want to take advantage of [math] \frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}} \frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n-2}} ... \frac{a_{m+1}}{a_m} = \frac{a_{n}}{a_m} [/math], for n>m, and also the definition of a limit. It's just working with some inequalities but it should be manageable.

>> No.11132624

Light travels at 300 m/μs, so unless you're in a huge room it's going to bounce off multiple surfaces every microsecond. And if that isn't enough to absorb it all, it will travel through 300 km of air per millisecond, which will absorb a lot (notice how much dimmer the sun is when it's near the horizon compared to overhead).

IOW, the only way it's going to keep bouncing around for an extended period without being absorbed is if it's inside a large container with perfectly reflective surfaces and no atmosphere (vacuum).

Not a meteorologist but on a small scale differential heating of the air (ie as the land heats up during the day vs the relatively stable temperatures over water) will give you a difference in pressure and air will flow from high to low.

Twice the sum is:
1+...+n+

= n(n+1)
So the sum is n(n+1)/2.

More generally, for any arithmetic sequence (a sequence where the gap between adjacent elements is constant) the sum is the total number of elements times their average: n*(lo+hi)/2. The average of the first and last elements is equal to the average of the second and last-but-one elements and the third and last-but-two and so on. Thus you can replace every element with the average without changing the sum.

I'm reading through this summary but I'm not sure in what part my question is supposed to be treated. I mean, the basic metaphysical notion of the self-aware subject is certainly present, but I think Hegel branches off to psychological questions (collective consciousness etc.) rather than epistemic details concerning existence and essence (this whole curiosity of mine is partially existentially motivated), and I don't suppose he proved any rigorous, system-theoretic theorems. But if there's anything that may be of use to me I'd be grateful if you referred me to the specific chapter/paragraph.

The evaluation map maps polynomials to their respective values for fixed elements of the coefficient ring (so [math] \mathbb{R} [/math] in this case). In fact it not only maps 0 to 0, it is a ring homomorphism, so it meets the other properties too. But when we say it maps 0 to 0, we don't mean it maps the polynomial evaluated at 0 to the value 0, since the evaluation maps receives polynomials as inputs and not elements of the coefficient ring. What we mean then is that the evaluation map maps the 0 of the polynomial ring (so p(x)=0) to the value 0, for any fixed value of x, which is trivially true.

i think you'd have to have c = +-1 , and each c_i = +-1, so those the roots would also have to be either +- 1.

Ah, right.
Essentially, if it isn't zero we can divide out x+y on both sides, and then we get (x+y)^2=xy

>> No.11140336

>>11140260
I assume that you understand up to the point:
> or x^3+2x^2y+2xy^2+y^3=0
right?
The next step is rearranging that expression, which is "close" to the expansion of (x+y)^3:
(x+y)^3=x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3
=> (x+y)^3-x^2y-xy^2 = x^3+2x^2y+2xy^2+y^3 (subtract x^2y+xy^2 from both sides)
=> x^3+2x^2y+2xy^2+y^3 = (x+y)^3-x^2y-xy^2 (swap LHS and RHS)
=> x^3+2x^2y+2xy^2+y^3 = (x+y)^3-xy(x+y) (isolate a common factor of xy from x^2y+xy^2)
So, the previous assertion:
> x^3+2x^2y+2xy^2+y^3=0
becomes:
(x+y)^3-xy(x+y) = 0
=> (x+y)^3 = xy(x+y)
This is trivially true if x+y=0 (both sides will be zero), in which case x=-y. Otherwise, x+y is non-zero so we can divide both sides by x+y to get
(x+y)^2 = xy
=> x^2+2xy+y^2 = xy (expand the square)
=> x^2+xy+y^2 = 0 (subtract xy from both sides)
Applying the quadratic formula gives y=x(-1±i√3)/2, i.e. the only real solution is x=y=0. Apparently this has already been dealt with in problem 15.

Does R mean something like "locally integrable functions" or "measurable functions"?
Because if it does, you just need to partition R (the real line) by the naturals, split up the integral from one to infinity into the sum of those integrals from one integer to the next, and then bound the infinite series by the similar infinite series associated to g, and show it converges by the trivial argument.

You can tell your argument is wrong because the value of the integral of g(x) may be very different from the value of the integral of f(x) and even |f(x)|.

I'd approach it like this: By absolute convergence (which we can prove by cauchy criterion) we instead prove that [math] \int_1^{\infty} |f(x)| dx [/math] exists and converges.

We define [math] F(x) = \int_1^{x} |f(t)| dx [/math]. It is clear that F(x) is monotone (i.e. it is increasing) and it is also bounded by [math] \int_1^{\infty} g(x) dx [/math]. Hence [math] \lim_{x \to \infty} F(x) [/math] exists.

sorry I think I'm just slow in the head, I'm not trying to challenge you or anything I think my proof is also wrong but I'm just having a hard time understanding where I went wrong,

since the int_1^b f(x) < int_1^b g(x), and

since |int_1^b g(x) - A| < epsilon, then int_1^b g(x) < epsilon + A

so int_1^b f(x) < epsilon + A,

but I guess the reason why this proof doesn't work is because we don't know that -epsilon + A < int_1^b f(x) so we can't conclude anything.

I hate analysis so much, I think I just want to stick to smaller brain math like combinatorics

I can program, but struggle finding motivation to do so. I have fun doing Project Euler type problems and I’ve been leafing though this competitive programming book: https://cses.fi/book/book.pdf, but this stuff feels superfluous.

I guess what I’m getting at is that I want to program recreationally but don’t quite know how to do so in a manner I enjoy. Any “real project” is either unwieldy in its tedium or its already been done before, and better.

Cellulose is really hard to digest, so herbivores have strategies including multiple stomachs, chewing the cud (regurgitating partially digested food, chewing it, then swallowing it again), and/or coprophagy (eating faeces of partially-digested food).

This leaves a niche for predators to feed on all that ready-processed food walking around. But obviously you can't have an ecosystem with nothing but predators; something has to be at the bottom of the food chain.

You could theoretically have an ecosystem with nothing but herbivores. But they won't live forever, so something may as well put the carrion to use. And from there, there's no particular need to wait for the herbivores to die naturally before eating them.

assume this is a slingshot, so you're pulling at the top of the triangle. g = 6cm, so we've got that s = sqrt(h^2+9).

i want to find an expression for ds/dt in terms of dh/dt and h. I use ds/dt = ds/dh * dh/dt and end up with ds/dt = h/(sqrt(h^2+9)) * dh/dt. i'm given that h rises with a speed of 2 cm/min. now, assuming that the height has reached 11 cm, i find that s is growing by 1.93 cm. does that sound right? sounds like a lot to me desu.

Is it correct to say that a projective module is a module P such that every morphism onto it from any module has an inverse on the right that is also a morphism?

I'm trying to understand what a projective module is and why it's useful or important. I know the "lifting" definition but I don't get what it's trying to say, and I'm trying to work with its characterizations instead. For example I've seen projective modules be referred to as locally free modules, but I also don't get what's that's supposed mean since having a basis locally doesn't really seem to make too much sense, and I haven't seen someone define that property instead of just mention it (any textbook I should read that has that definition, by the way?). I've also seen the short split sequence "definition" (which we learned as a theorem), that states that a module P is projective iff every short exact sequence [math] 0 \longrightarrow A \longrightarrow B \longrightarrow P \longrightarrow 0 [/math] is split. Now, among all the characterizations of short split sequences, I remember that a short sequence is split iff the morphism from B to P has an inverse morphism to the right, and since that's supposed to happen for any module B, that's where I get my "definition" in the first paragraph, where I try to drop the context of short exact sequences and just mention surjective morphisms in general. Is this idea good enough, then? Also anyone has a better way to understand the idea of projective modules?

Several pharmaceutical companies have developed and market specific inhibitors or therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to inhibit the activity of a ReceptX transmembrane receptor. This receptor has tyrosine kinase activity.
In their MA, the indications for these drugs specify that they can only be prescribed for lung cancer when the tumour overexpresses this receptor.
No company currently offers the pulmo-Test, an in vitro diagnostic test capable of detecting overexpression of the ReceptX receptor, in lung cancer. Your R&D team wishes to develop a strategy to occupy this market sector of the Medical Diagnostics industry.
Make different (motivated) proposals to your management, detailing the stages of development (design), validation, (performance verification) of your tool. The commercial approach (marketing for whom? in what form? ease of use etc...) must be specified.
