There are ten balls of each colour. Under uniform sampling without replacement, all subsets of twelve labelled balls are equally likely. A favourable subset chooses four of the ten white balls and eight of the ten black balls, giving choices. The hypergeometric distribution therefore gives
Thus the requested integers are , with and .
With equally many balls of each colour, uniform sampling without replacement gives
Here an admissible population producing positive probability for three white balls has even , so the cancellation is legitimate. Equating this to gives , hence
The probability of two black balls is the complement of the other two possibilities:
The probability of equal colours is . Thus the required conditional probability is
This is defined when the conditioning event has positive probability. If with one ball of each colour, that event is impossible and the conditional probability is undefined.
The probability that the first ball is white is . Partitioning that event according to the second colour shows that . Uniform sampling without replacement makes the two draw positions exchangeable, so . Therefore
For a direct count, the same value is .
Interchanging the two colours preserves the probability distribution when their population counts are equal. Thus the probability of two black balls is also . The three mutually exclusive possibilities are two white, two black, or different colours, so
With white balls, uniform sampling without replacement gives the probability
Rearranging, , so
A finite admissible population has even and , so the denominator is nonzero.
Put . The sine addition identity gives . Applying the exponential series gives
Thus the first three nonzero terms in the Taylor series about are
The Maclaurin series of the hyperbolic cosine is . The binomial series with exponent gives . Substituting yields
These are the first three nonzero terms; the remainder is written in Big O notation.
Multiplying the ordinary differential equation by the nonzero integrating factor from part (i) makes its left-hand side . Hence the potential is constant:
Since for every real , this is equivalent to the explicit general solution
It is defined for all real . There are no lost solutions, since the integrating factor and the coefficient of are everywhere nonzero.
Let and . An exact differential form must satisfy . These partial derivatives give
Taking antiderivatives produces . A convenient nonzero integrating factor for a differential one-form is therefore
An explicit potential, which also proves global exactness, is
Indeed and for the chosen integrating factor.
The zero solution satisfies both the ordinary differential equation and the initial condition. The right-hand side is continuously differentiable in near , so the Picard-Lindelöf theorem gives local uniqueness; equivalently the nonzero family in part (a) can never take the value zero at . Thus
The restriction is the maximal interval containing on which the original ordinary differential equation is defined.
Using the general solution in part (a), the initial condition gives
Therefore the solution of this initial value problem is
The formula is used on the interval containing where the original ordinary differential equation and the displayed expression are defined.
From the same multiplication, the imaginary part is
Here the planar vectors are embedded in three dimensions with zero third coordinate. Its magnitude is the area of their parallelogram; its sign is positive when the oriented angle from to has positive sine. The reversed order matters: is the negative of the usual signed area for the order .
Write . Multiplication gives
Therefore the real part is the dot product of the corresponding vectors:
For nonzero vectors, this is , measuring their alignment.
With and , direct multiplication gives . Taking the complex conjugate yields
Write and with real . By the definition of complex conjugation,
Equality in the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality requires for one constant . Thus and
This is solid-body rotation. At fixed , the constant is . The value at the single axis point does not affect the integrals; if is continuous, it has the same constant value there as well.
Using the same cylindrical-shell volume,
For unit density, this is the axial angular momentum. To bound it, apply the integral Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to and :
Multiplication by gives . Since the chamber's volume is , this is precisely
The volume form in cylindrical coordinates is . Integrating around the axis and over the height gives cylindrical-shell volume . Hence the volume integral is
For unit density, this is the kinetic energy of the rotational motion.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
