!Derangement¡

⁄irrationality°

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[!x=x¡\]\[\quad=\quad?\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can someone please explain the concept of Derangement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*

Parth (parthkohli):

What does that "*" mean? @mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol...it means i have no information on this topic...and i'll wait for the others posts

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, okay... we never see that star :P

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[!n=(n-1)(!(n-1)+!(n-2))\] or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unkle i didnt knew it until u mentioned.. this is interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A permutation of elements such that none are in their original position. What exactly do you want to know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

suppose u have 4 letters and 4 corresponding envelopes then the arrangement in which none of the letters go to the correct envelope is an example of dearrangement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

say letter no. can only go into envelope numbered say (2,3,4) i.e for letter numbered 1 u have three choices and now say for example say No.1 goes in Env no.2 then for letter no. 2 there are again 3 ,say for eg letter no.2 goes in 4 then for letter no. 3 there is only 1 choice that is envelope no.1 and thus for letter no 4 thers is only one choice that is 3 hus the total number of deaarngements here is 3X3X1X1=9

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can i write a derangement in a more simple way

hartnn (hartnn):

* good to know :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* me too;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equals to ln(-1) !!!!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

@SNSDYoona can you explain that a little?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause a complex number z = cos x + i sin x Provided we can differentiate complex numbers, this would seem resonable, \[\frac{ dz}{ dx } = - \sin x + i \cos x\] \[= i^2 \sin x + \cos x\] =\[i( \cos x + i \sin x)\] \[= iz\] and when we differentiate exponential functions we get, \[\frac{ d }{ dx } {e}^(kx) = ke^(kx) \] <<< its e to the power of (kx) This suggests that cos x + i sin x = e^(ix) The exponential form of complex number therefore is re^(ix) where r is radius cis x = e^(ix) when x = pi cos pi + i sin pi = e^(ipi) cos of pi = -1 therefore... -1 = e^(ipi) and if we take the natural logs off both side we get (ln-1) = ipi
