Determining the Derivatives of the Inverse Trigonometric Functions Now let's determine the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions, \(y = \arcsin x,\) \(y = \arccos x,\) \(y = \arctan x,\) \( y = \text{arccot}\, x,\) \(y = \text{arcsec}\, x,\) and \(y = \text{arccsc}\, x.\) One way to do this that is particu...

Decide if the series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{4^{n+1}}{3^{n}-2}$$ converges or diverges and, if it converges, find its sum. Is this how you would show divergence attempt: For $n \in [1,\infty), a_n = \frac{4^{n+1}}{3^n -2} \geq 0$ For $n \in [1,\infty), a_n = \frac{4^{n+1}}{3^n-2} \geq \frac{4^{n+1}}{3^n} = b_n$ Since ...
There's not a lot to say here, but we can say a couple of things. We'll assume $H\le G\le S_n$ and $H$ and $G$ are both transitive. A block system is defined by a choice of a single block $\Delta\ni 1$, so let $B_H$ be the set of blocks for $H$ containing $1$ and $B_G$ be the set of blocks for $G$ containing $1$. Immed...

I think you are interpreting too much into the matter. The $-\frac12\sigma^2$ is just a correction term that comes from Jensen's inequality.You need this when switching from supposedly symmetric returns (normal distribution) to the skewed price process (log-normal distribution).I think there are no deeper truths to be ...

The question says to solve this equation: $(z+1)^5 = z^5$ I did. Just want to find out if I did it properly and if my run-around logic makes sense. First I begin my writing the equations as: $$ (z+1)^5 = z^5$$ $$ \mathbf{e}^{5 \mathbf{Log}(z+1)} = \mathbf{e}^{5 \mathbf{Log}(z)} $$ So $$ \mathbf{Log}(z+1) = \ln|z+1| + \...

The product converges because $\sum n^{-2}$ does. Can you see why? What is the greatest sum that can possibly appear when we expand the product? In fact, suppose that $a_n\geq 0$ for each $n$.

So my book proves the convergence of $\Gamma(z) = \int_0^{\infty}t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt$ in the right half plane $Re(z) > 0$, and then goes on to prove the initial recurrence relation $\Gamma(z+1)=z\Gamma(z)$ by applying integration by parts to $\Gamma(z+1)$: $$\int_0^{\infty}t^{z}e^{-t}dt = -t^ze^{-t}|_0^{\infty} + z\int_0^{...

You only need to consider the case $\mathfrak{h}_{s}^\ast(A) \lt \infty$, but you need to be a bit careful in choosing the outer approximations since swapping $\inf$ and $\sup$ certainly isn't allowed without some thinking.

In this section, we demonstrate which integers have primitive roots.

If \(p\) is an odd prime with primitive root \(r\), then one can have either \(r\) or ...
Disclaimer. This is not an answer! But I hope the following transformations and numerical experiments can be useful in finding the solution. First, we will get rid of trigonometric functions.

There are two major faults in this argument.

For a discrete random variable \(X\) (a random variable whose range \(\mathcal{X}\) is countable) with probability mass function \(p(x) = P(X = x)\), we can define the (Shannon or discrete) entropy of the random variable as \[ H[X] = -E[\log_{2} p(X)] = - \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} p(x) \log_{2} p(x).\] That is, the entr...

The solution of the model contains constant: $k = \alpha K$, it relates to: (i) probability of getting a fill ($\alpha$) and (ii) market impact ($K$). Estimating (i). The author proposes that the market order sizes follow a power law distribution: $$f(x)^Q \propto x^{-1-\alpha}$$ So no problem estimating this. Estimati...
In the book Bayesian Data Analysis by Gelman et al. (3rd edition, 2014), a hierarchical model (or one-way random-effects ANOVA) is presented in section 5.4 as follows, \begin{equation}\label{eq:lme1} y_{ij} = b_0 + \lambda_i + \varepsilon_{ij}, \end{equation} where the data $y_{ij}$ come from the $i$th measuring entity...

Covering Space Examples R2 \ {(0, 0)} Recall from the Covering Spaces page that if $X$ is a topological space then a covering space of $X$ is a pair $(\tilde{X}, p)$ where $\tilde{X}$ is a path connected and locally path connected topological space and $p : \tilde{X} \to X$ is a continuous map such that for every $x \i...
Wronskian Determinants and Linear Homogenous Differential Equations Recall from the The Principle of Superposition page that if we have the second order linear homogenous differential equation $\frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} + p(t) \frac{dy}{dt} + q(t)y = 0$ and $y = y_1(t)$ and $y = y_2(t)$ are solutions to this differential equa...
If a team of researchers perform multiple (hypothesis) tests on a given data set, there is a volume of literature asserting that they should use some form of correction for multiple testing (Bonferroni, etc), even if the tests are independent. My question is this: does this same logic apply to multiple teams testing hy...

Speaker: Misha Tyomkyn (TAU) Title: Lagrangians of hypergraphs and the Frankl-Furedi conjecture Abstract: Frankl and Furedi conjectured in 1989 that the maximum Lagrangian of all r-uniform hypergraphs of given size m is realised by the initial segment of the colexicographic order. For r=3 this was partially solved by T...
As Twitter and Github and some other sites have switched from square icons to circle icons, I needed to update my logo to fit. I had cropped the previous one, but I decided I should generate new ones from scratch. The main ingredients: The red blob logo is \(r = 5 + \sin(5\theta)\). The mouth can be drawn with my face ...
LaTeX supports many worldwide languages by means of some special packages. In this article is explained how to import and use those packages to create documents in Portuguese. Contents Portuguese language has some accentuated words. For this reason the preamble of your file must be modified accordingly to support these...

Soil composition by V olume and M ass, by phase: a ir, w ater, v oid (pores filled with water or air), s oil, and t otal. Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, fruit, or wood. Water content is used in a wide range of scie...
I heard a couple of times that there is no dynamics in 3D (2+1) GR, that it's something like a topological theory. I got the argument in the 2D case (the metric is conformally flat, Einstein equations trivially satisfied and the action is just a topological number) but I don't get how it is still true or partially simi...

So this is from Charles C. Pinter’s “A Book of Abstract Algebra”- specifically, it’s from the second chapter on permutations. The question is: [Prove that] Let $ \alpha_1$ and $ \alpha_2$ be cycles of the same length. Let $ \beta_1$ and $ \beta_2$ be cycles of the same length. Let $ \alpha_1$ and $ \beta_1$ be disjoint...
