65536
but you found for this:
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{n^{2}t^{n}}{65536^{n}}$
Joanna Angel
so what now you need to do ?
I still haven't found the limit, do I need to use lhopitals?
🙂
no
normally you calcualte
take n^2 out of denomiantor
adn you reduce it with nominator
$\lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{n^{2}}{\left( n+1 \right)^{2}}=\lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{\left( 1+\frac{1}{n} \right)^{2}}=1$
im getting 65536 / 2n +1
so the limit tends to infinity?
Joanna Angel
that means R = 65536 , but again i remidn that it is radius for:
$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{n^{2}t^{n}}{65536^{n}}$
Joanna Angel
Joanna Angel
you made wrong you cant reduce it this way
Why not?
you have to take n^2
out of parnthesis
becaue there is addiotn
and yo need multipliction
Oh wait im braindead
i can feel 🙂
so the answer is 4?

If Un and Sn respectively state the n number and the sum of n first sequence of an arithmetic sequence, and U2 - U4 + U6 - U8 + U10 - U12 + U14 - U16 + U18 = 20. Then S19 = ...
i'm stuck there
i did some calculations by substituting U10 to the equation then i found that d = 0, but i'm not sure whether the S19 equals 380 or not

yo
ok so
suppose f(x)=p(q(x)) where p and q are differentiable. and suppose we have the following data
p(3)=5 p'(3)=3 p(4)=3 p'(4)=2 q(3)=4 q'(3)=7 q(4)=3 q'(4)=0
what is f'(3)?
I got f'(3) = 14
can anyone help confirm that?
chain rule
f'(x) = p'(q(x))q'(x)
= p'(4)(7)
= 14
thank you ❤️

4a) can someone start my off please?
remainder theorem
23
That’s just helped me solve the entire equation thanks 🙏🏽
@elfin flax
writing down the remainder theorem is a good idea
and noting that "has something as a factor" is equivalent to "has a remainder of 0 when divided by that thing"
I know this yes but I’m not sure what to do next
well did you use the remainder theorem as mentioned?
use remainder theorem on the first line (the polynomial.... has x+2 as a factor)
so basically p(-2) = 0
similarly for the second line, "when the polynomial.... the remainder is -36" basically tells you that p(1) = 36
now you have 2 equations to solve under 2 unknowns so you can uniquely determine the values of p and q

CAN someone please explain why when evaluated between the limits of a/2 and -a/2
$\frac{(\pi^2-6)a^3}{24\pi^2}$
Mortta
why is it that
and not positive 6
you plug in a/2 or -a/2 sin is 0

I don’t quite understand what’s going on here? What absolute value are they talking about?
$\int \frac{dx}{x} = \log|x| + C$
riemann
Ohhhh yeah
Right
Okay for the second part of the explanation
They made that sub because they wanted to get it into arctan form?
Also if I say left the answer with the absolute value signs even tho it’s not needed would it be considered incorrect or?
Only your graders know that
I would think it was like a general mathematics thing everyone agreed upon lol
Best to ask your graders
but I’d imagine they wouldn’t deduct marks for that.

Not sure what exactly is happening here
From what I remember about mean value theorem is that I should get the f'(c) and set it equal to f(b)-f(a)/b-a?
or something like that?
or better put I know that somewhere between (0,1) and (6,4) f'(c) or f(c) = 0?
I went back in my mean value theorem section of the book and the lectures but nothing has really applied to this enough to where I can get it
the MVT just says that this equation has a solution
the equation will be easier to solve than it might look
just put in the definition of f(x)
Definition?
@queen thistle Has your question been resolved?
@queen thistle Has your question been resolved?
the integration of a function f from a to b is equal to F(b) - F(a). Then, you just calculate c by an equation.
Gotcha so F(b)-F(a) = 3
idk how to calculate the primitive of this function
The primitive?
Have you heard about that ?
Depends on what it means
the derivative of the primitive of a function is the function
but what's the primitive of a function
if the primitive is defined by the derivate of the primitive of a function
idk i havnt studied it yet
oh
okay well that word shouldn'
shouldnt really apply here
unless its a synonym for something else
but I have F(b) - F(a) now
So how do I calculate c here
1/2c+1 = 3?
Actually, c = 3

if i have two matrices A and B $(3 \times 3)$ Which commute each other and also satisfy: $A^2 = B^4$\
It is also given $A \neq B^2$\
then can i say $A + B^2$ is singular
ginny
i want to say yes but like I have this:\
$(A-B^2)(A+B^2) = 0$
ginny
i know the first matrix isn't a null matrix, but can I really say it's not singular?
if it is singular, then the latter doesn't have to be singular, does it?
Im not an expert, buut doesn't A need to be (nx3) in order for matrix multiplication to be even defined?
both A and B are 3×3
Oh nvm
no worries
If what you've written there is a zero matrix then in particular you know that it's determinant is zero
yes
then you might be able to use properties of determinants to conclude something about the determinant of A+B^2
how would I do that?
i know the determinant of either A-B^2 or A+B^2 is zero
but i can't really say which one it is
<@&286206848099549185>
I thought about it for a while. Is there reason to suspect that the claim is actually true in the first place?
yes, i am given the answer
from this |A-B^2|=0 or |A+B^2|=0
so we need to know if |A-B^2| could be 0
I think that's where we all got stuck
yes
det(A)^2 = det(B)^4
but that doesn't feel helpful because det(A-B^2) is difficult to work with
I suppose somehow
det(AB - BA) = 0
has to save the day
but idk feels kinda hopeless to me
If A and B^2 differ by something else then a factor of -1 then if the statement is true it must be zero because you can take out a factor of -1 from A I think
you mean whenever B^2 = -A ??
we would need 2A = 0
I don't understand the reasoning for why A is a zero matrix
no the determinant you said could be zero must be zero I said
must be zero given that the original statement holds or must be zero due to non-circular reasoning?
also which determinant exactly
If the statement holds than both determinants of the factors must be zero by symmetry once you factor -1 out
Ok Just a moment I write it
i'm fairly sure that if the product of two nonzero matrices is zero then they're both singular
suppose CD = 0 and C is invertible, then D = C^-1*C*D = C^-1*0 = 0
Problem solved than
@obsidian glen Has your question been resolved?
let me read it all
How do you know that -A is not equal to B^2 ?
idk I don't really understand what's going on there
no, but what if C is NOT invertible?
then it's singular
yes and?
I agree but how does this help with the problem?
I don't see it either
or rather I agree with this
so we're looking at (A-B^2)(A+B^2) = 0, where A-B^2 is not zero
but it might still be singular
They could be if B^2=-A originally
how do we know that they're BOTH nonzero?
By assumption I think
these ones
well... is 0 singular?
yes i mean the zero matrix
then it is singular
Bee Thankyou for showing me that my linear algebra is lacking
alright so if A+B^2 is zero then we're just done, because then it's obviously singular
how exactly is A+B^2 zero?
^
if the product of two matrices is 0, they both can be non zero
just one of them has to be singular
both of them have to be singular
ok do you have an example of a singular matrix multiplied by a nonsingular matrix to get 0?
that's just one example, there's more
proof by "well can you come up with a counterexample then"
ok so what's an example where neither of them are zero
i already proved it earlier
there's plenty, i can easily work that up
but given it holds when one of them is infact null matrix, shouldn't that be plenty?
singular * non singular being zero
ok well i didn't claim that a singular matrix multiplied by a nonsingular matrix can't be zero, i claimed that a nonzero singular matrix multiplied by a nonzero matrix can't be zero
which is a claim you've given no counterexamples to at all
suppose CD = 0 and C is invertible, multiply both sides by C^-1 on the left, D = 0
so if D isn't zero, C must be singular
and by the same argument the other way around, if C isn't zero, D must be singular
you didn't mention the non zero part initially
The only case that remains is if B^2= -A originally because one factor becomes zero and it’s exactly the one you want so no problem.
to clarify: are we still trying to solve the original problem or are you two just trying to annoy me now
alright here's the solution then
we've deduced that (A-B^2)(A+B^2) = 0
we are given that A-B^2 is not zero
it follows that A+B^2 is singular
done
He did say nonzero
take an identity matrix, multiply it by any matrix with the entries in a particular row to be zero, rest all non zero entries (it's not a null matrix)
the result of that is also not a zero matrix
ah shit
you're right
it's the same matrix again
I'm starting to think you're right, but do we know for sure that (non zero) singular* non singular can never be null matrix?
yes
suppose CD = 0 and D is invertible
multiply on the right by D^-1
we get C = 0 and this is a contradiction
therefore D cannot be invertible
Okay I get it now.
Assume A+B^2 is invertible. Then A-B^2 = 0. But this is a contradiction. Thus A+B^2 is not invertible. Thus its determinant is zero.
@obsidian glen
Thanks @lunar ocean
wait
Thus A-B^2 is not invertible. Thus its determinant is nonzero.
uh... no
yeah no that doesn't work my bad XD
you wrote it incorrectly lol
you misplaces A-B^2 and A+B^2
but your work is somewhere along bee's work
i think i get it now
I did actually, I used to hear that a lot back when I was chronically online as a kid

Isn't the probability for success in the individual trial 20/100?

hi
So I have a problem that I'm extremly stuck with
here it is:
On a street with 50 houses, three students with paper routes deliver 28 Toronto Stars, 24 Globe and Mails, and 20 Toronto Suns. A house may receive no papers, one paper, or two papers. (No houses receive all three.) No house, of course, receives more than one copy of the same newspaper. What is the least number houses that could have two papers delivered? What is the greatest number of houses that could have two papers delivered?
now all I know is the total which is 72.
I did 72-50 and got 22
Now I'm not sure where to go now
<@&286206848099549185>
I would first look at the probability for each paper it's
28/50 for toronto stars
24/50 for Globe and Mails
20/50 for Toronto Suns
Beyond that i'm not 100% sure but you could multiply for each possibility of two
T'stars × GS
T'Stars × T'Suns
GS × T'Suns
Then add them all up
For each probability you want to do available possibilities over total possibilities if that makes sense
Oh
There are only 28 papers for T'Stars with a total of 50 houses it could go to
So that is a 28 in 50 chance 1 house will get it
Now when it comes to two possibilites that kind of rely on eachother you multiply them together
And how is that supposed to get me to the least and greatest number?
That's the part I am unsure
hmm
So I did what you said, and got to 428/625 as a fraction 0.6848 as a decimal
Well it doesn't seem like it does anything, or leads me anywhere, but thank you very much for your time.

I just need help with the general sequence of 2,14,122,1094... with the next value, if possible for the n term
Did you check if it's a geometric series
it doesn't seem to be
Result:
108
,Calc 1094-122
Result:
972
,Calc 972- 108
Result:
864
I tried with cubics, at least in my case I didn't find any relation :/
this problem is supposed to be done pre calculus
I'm not sure though, this sequence comes from the original problem that is a trigonometric one, which tbh is just a summatory
122/14 is decimal
so the original problem is arctan(1/2)+arctan(3/14)+arctan(9/122)+arctan(27/1094) in an infinite sequence, but I just need the sequence from below so I can get a grasp on the summatory
That is very unclear
they are asking to reduce that to a value for the N terms that it has (for 2 terms it would be arctan(1/2)+arctan(3/14)
I got (pi/4)-arctan(1/3^n) which validates with the n terms, but that was by testing for 1 and 2 values with the options, which is not the formal way to solve it

@tardy scroll Has your question been resolved?
Um, could anyone help? <@&286206848099549185>
whats the question
this one
ok, so the sequence is from multiplying the previous term by an increasing consecutive integer especially the second term (14) is the result of multiplying the first term (2) by 7, the third term (122) is derived from multiplying the second term (14) by 8, and the fourth term (1094) is by multiplying the third term (122) by 9. this pattern is from "a_n = a_{n-1} × (n + 6)," where "a_n" represents the "n"-th term and "a_{n-1}" denotes the previous term, applying this relation to find the next term ("a_5"), we calculate "1094 × (5 + 6)," then a value of 12034 so the next term in the sequence is 12034
i assume
that's why I asked here, I couldn't find any other way to get around that sequence
tbh I think that there might be an easier way to get to the next term, but I just can't seem to find it
I found a similar pattern at quora but the sequence is longer being 2, 5, 14, 41, and 122
The pattern was
2 * 3 - 1 or 2 + 3¹ = 5
5 * 3 - 1 or 5 + 3² = 14
And so on
If we skip some of the patterns then we can get
(2 * 3 - 1)*3 - 1 = 2nd term
Or
2 + 3¹ + 3² = 2nd term
If we take the second formula then try to get the 3th term (122) then it would be
2 + 3¹ + 3² + 3³ + 3⁴

ive got a few questions about this.
one how do you get a(t). is it integral of v(t) or derivative?
and i think its either b or c but im unsure if you need to take the abs value?
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity
to get position you need to take integral of velocity and then plug in number?

Guys i suck at integrating
where is the question
$$\frac{1}{2} \int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} - 2 \cos(\theta))^2 d \theta$$
we
we
when you multiply out the square what do you get
$$\frac{1}{2} \int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1}{\cos^2(\theta)} -4 + 4cos^2(\theta) d \theta$$
$$\frac{1}{2} \int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1}{\cos^2(\theta)} -4 +2 +2 cos(2\theta) d \theta$$
$$\frac{1}{2} \int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1}{\cos^2(\theta)} -2 +2cos(2\theta) d \theta$$
thats
sec doesn't exist
thats the same thing
Nope
$$\frac{1}{2} \int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{1}{\cos^2(\theta)} -2 +2 cos(2\theta) d \theta$$
$$=$$
$$\frac{1}{2} ( \tan(x) - 2\theta + sin(2\theta)) + C$$
and the bounds?
we
big
we
uuh
the bounds?
-pi/4 to pi/4 ?
an uuh
this becomes
$$\frac{1}{2}( -1 +\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) - \frac{1}{2}(1 - \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$$
we
we
which is negative

Okay
i just spent like 5 seconds solving three other problems
now this is my last one, i think this will take me longer than 5 seconds!
<@&286206848099549185> WHY DO I HAVE A NEGATIVE AREA?!?!
i think your math is wrong
(-2(pi/4) + sin(2(pi/4)) + tan(pi/4)) - (-2(-pi/4) + sin(2(-pi/4)) + tan (-pi/4))
this is a positive number
-2x + sin(2x) + tan(x) + C is the answer of your integral
the answer evaluated at the bounds is 4-pi
oh
yep
I evaluated it wrong
I still have no fucking idea what I'm doing
Just wrote down the answer for this question on my note sheet
hopefully it shows up on my test
TY

DUDE
we
I used best friend
so
I got
$4 \frac{1}{1 - (\frac{-3}{2}x)}$ which becomes $\sum (-1)^n (\frac{3}{2}x)^n$
right?
we
oh oops i put the - on mine by default
$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(-\frac{3x}{2}\right)^n$
bprp takes the minus out so i did it as well
$\abs{\frac{3}{2}x} < 1$ so uuuuh $ \abs{x} < \frac{2}{3}$ ?
we
blackpen red pen
$\frac{2}{2+3x} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left(-\frac{3x}{2}\right)^n$ for $|x| < \frac23$
True!
if i wanted to check the endpoint at uuuh
-2/3
wold i do
$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n$ because 3/2 * 2/3 = 1
we
well if you wanted to check -2/3 then the negatives cancel out so its just $\sum_n n$
so true
ya neither side works

could i get a hint on how to do this?
try to find a pattern
how many digits in 2^1? in 2^2? in 2^k?
and prove that pattern
lets say i find a pattern, how would i prove it
try to find a pattern first
you cant prove something if you dont know what you are trying to prove
i don't see the trick if there is one
i dont see a pattern
wait i do
for powers of 2
every 3 the number of digits increases by 1
yessir
but this is an exception
no okay yeah log(2) + log(5) would become log(10)
yes
the only one?
no
i should take log?
$2^k = 10^{\log(2)k}$
LF
oh
10^k has k+1 digits
its every three because log(2) = 0.3 roughly
(2^2023) has length of log_10(2^2023) + X and
(5^2023) has length of log_10(5^2023) + Y
we can easily add them, it's 2023(log 2) + 2023(log 5) + X + Y =
2023(log(2×5)) + X + Y
= 2023 + X +Y
X and Y are each between 0 and 1
so the answer is 2023, 2024 or 2025, and no way it's 2023
the question is how you decide between 2024 and 2025
oh but they aren't 1 either
it has to be 2024
i'm almost not confused 🤣
it's the other way around, X and Y are never 0, and they can be 1 but certainly not in this case
either way it means they add up to one
@arctic cipher Has your question been resolved?
what do X and Y represent
it's literally unknown difference between the length and the logarithm
,calc log(66) / log(10)
Result:
1.8195439355419
,calc log(125) / log(10)
Result:
2.0969100130081
always more than 0, never more than 1
they add up to an integer, so we have sufficient information to say this integer is 1
it could be 2, if X=Y=1
but it's not the case, neither is 1
i see
why cant they be 1
so if we were given 3 numbers instead of 2, I wouldn't be able to decide what X+Y+Z is, could be 1 or 2
maybe it can be figured out too idk
,calc log(10000) / log(10)
Result:
4
yep

Struggling with this.
So, just sticking with solving for x, we can multiply the first equation by d and the second equation by b.
Giving us:
abx + bdy = d
bcx + bdy = 2b
After subtracting, we get:
abx - bcx = d - 2b
Now is where I'm having an error in understanding.
I can't figure out how to separate the x without making it 2x.
For example, if I divide by ab - bc, I'm left with:
x + x = d - 2b / ab - bc
I'm sure that I'm just making a very silly arithmetic error and some grade school misunderstanding of division or something.
I've been out of school for a very, very long time and going back to college next week, so wanted to revisit some stuff lol
Oh, wait, I just factor out the x.
x(ab - bc) = d - 2b
then divide both by ab - bc
I'm gonna get roasted in my calc course lmfao

Can someone tell me how to determine if that is linear or nonlinear
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
Look up the definition in your textbook or notes
Of what makes a differential equation linear or nonlinear
ok
In a differential equation, when the variables and their derivatives are only multiplied by constants, then the equation is linear. The variables and their derivatives must always appear as a simple first power. Here are some examples. Similar rules apply to multiple variable problems.
The constants of y is 2, therefore that is linear
where are you getting this from? what is the source of that quote
I said your textbook or notes
even a simple wikipedia check will give you a correct definition
(the one above is incorrect)

So because of how this sigma algebra is set up, if one set of A isn't countable then the compliment is right?
If I'm right with that, then does the last line mean that for the An0 that's uncountable, then the intersection of the compliments of A is a subset of the compliment of the uncountable set?
They are indeed saying that
Basically because A n B subset A
bonus: you can show that this is the smallest sigma algebra that contains all the singletons of X
That does make sense
So it's like a diskrete metric
a bit analogous to that, yea
except the discrete metric is more akin to the power set
which is the largest sigma algebra that contains all the singletons
every set is open in the discrete metric

negative rise = down
a<-1 means the graph of the function is slanted downwards more than 45°
alternatively, it means tht for each increase of x by one, y decreases by more than 1

this is correct
nice thanks
theres also this
im p sure im correct
but i wont get the grade back for a while so
so for this one
you can plug in each possible choice and see if it's correct
for example
on the left of the equal sign, it's 2(x+3) whihc means you do distributive
2 times x
and then add that to 2 times 3
Or you just solve the equation
yeah thats what i did
Which can be faster than actually trying each one
does my answer look ok?

A man lifted a 281.5 kg load off the ground using his teeth. Suppose he holds just three times that mass on a 30-degree slope using the same force. What is the coefficient of static friction between the load and the slope? (You have to draw a free-body diagram.)
hai I asked this question yesterday but i was afk and got my help channel closed. Either way I have the answer but it doesn't make sense
(3sin(30) - 1) / (3cos30)
Ok I get 3sin30 over 3cos30, but why do you subtract one
@last slate Has your question been resolved?
@last slate Has your question been resolved?
NO bro my question is not resolved
@last slate Has your question been resolved?
NO
<@&286206848099549185> maybe
hai
Let u be the coefficient of static friction
Force applied F = mg
Static Friction Force = u3mgcos (theta)
The gravitational Force = 3mgsin (theta)
So the force equation = 3mgsin (theta) - (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) = 0
So 3mgsin (theta) = (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) => 3sin (theta) = (u3cos (theta) + 1)
=> u = (3sin (30) - 1) / 3cos (30) => u = (3(1/2) - 1) / (3 x 0.866)
=> u = (1.5 - 1) / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.598
Coefficient of Static Friction u = 0.19.
we subtract 1 from 3sin(30) because we are accounting for the force of gravity. The force equation is set equal to 0, so we need to subtract the force of gravity from the force applied in order to find the coefficient of static friction.
sorry im having a little trouble understanding
yes the force equation is set equal to 0, and yes subtract fg from fa to find us but how do you get 1 from that?
Still on the problem?
@last slate Has your question been resolved?
yep sorry I had pe
So you understanded untill here?
...So 3mgsin (theta) = (u3mgcos (theta) + mg)
yep precisely
and you are confused how it gets to
3sin (theta) = (u3cos (theta) + 1)
?
hai
hai
yeah
e im have a math assignment to rush idk why im here 😄
gl
He divided both side by mg
he divided
3mgsin (theta) = (u3mgcos (theta) + mg)
here both sides by mg?
oh okay i see.
but
I'm confused, why is the one there
is it aresult of divding both sides of mg? or is it a result of something else?
he divded mg by mg, so became 1
omg
im so stupid
thank you so much. One last question, I get it becoming 1 but why does it turn negative
idk you will still reading this, but he add -1 on both sides
then divided with 3cos(theta)
dw i'm still reading this
yes he adds -1 on both sides but why -1?
mg/mg = 1 , but is there a reason to why you subtract 1 instead of adding 1 ?
because yes it becomes 3sin (theta) = (u3cos (theta) + 1) but then it becomes (3sin (30) - 1) / 3cos (30) and that +1 turns into a -1...
sorry if i'm missing something
@last slate Has your question been resolved?

I have to graph the function f(x) = -(x-4)(x-1)^2(x-5). I know its zeros are +4, +5, and it touches +1 but to prove it mathematically I am having trouble knowing what (x-1)^2 does to the equation, I was attempting to find the complete function instead of its factors by multiplying the factors but I got tripped up on what to do with the exponent... Am I meant to distrubute it and go from there??

Can I get an answer checked really quick
Here's the question and the answer up to c
@modest crystal Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
dont necessarilly need a final answer, just wanna know if i have the right idea
how did it become 20pi?
I think thats where i messed up
i multiplied each term by 4 to get rid of the fractions
so 5(x-pi/4) became 20(4x-pi)
Wait
i see the mistake there
apart from my terrible job at manipulating the final equation does the rest seem like the correct method of doing this?
yeah everything looks correct

woods
IBP
Or u sub :p
wait yeah that'd probably be easier haha 
You can do. Here it looks fine because the derivative of what's inside ln is roughly what is outside (x).
woah it's been a minute haha
So many llamas
not enough* 
Never
And then you'll end up integrating ln(u), which you can use the hint for 😲
I think you're missing the 1/2 in the first line.
From the u-sub
But otherwise it should be right

Here is this proof that I am stuck on.
Let a be a nonzero real number.
• Prove 1/a does not equal 0.
I know that any number that is divided by a nonzero number cannot be 0 unless its infinity.
but im not really sure how to go about writing that
proof by contradiction?
so I should try to equate a to any integer as an example to show that it cant equal 0?
no?
it wants you to prove that 1/a is not 0 for a nonzero real number
now we just assume that 1/a is 0
if 1/a is 0
then you should see that its false
false because there is no integer that would solve 1/a=0 correct?
sick thx for the help
also its not an integer
since your question told you its a real number
integer isnt a real num?
it can be any number, doesnt have to be integers only

Having trouble with this proof:
Let a be a nonzero real number. Prove 1/(1/a) = a
Am I able to just break down the equation and use the reciporacal to turn 1/(1/a) into 1 * a/1 to prove it? Is there any properties that are involved with this process?
I gather that you have to use the very fundamental properties?
yes
What have you tried so far?
You can also share a screenshot of the properties you are supposed to follow
just turning 1/(1/a) into 1 * a/1 but I dont think there are any properties that are involved with this
ill get a ss
these would be the only ones that would apply im pretty sure
You slayed @tender sphinx you slayed fr
alr so what do you think should be done first
So you first know that a is different from zero so from P5 you know that the inverse exists and so a(1/a) = 1
yeah, so would I multiply the other side by 1/a?
Do you first agree that 1/a is a real number too?
ye
Okay, so here is the outline of the proof. We want to prove that 1/a is not zero so that we can find its inverse and so when we multiply a(1/a) = 1 times the inverse of 1/a we will get to our desired result
So, let us first prove that 1/a is not zero. I know it is intuitive, but if you are doing things from fundamentals you should prove that
Let us prove that 1/a is not zero. By contradiction suppose that 1/a = 0. The only way in which this could be zero would be if the numerator were zero but 1 is not 0 so 1/a is not zero
ive proved that 1/a isnt 0 in a previous problem where we did it by contradiction
Okay perfect
Then by P5 you know that the inverse of 1/a exists and is a real number too
yeah
