f'(2) is a number, you can't just multiply f'(2) x 6 = f'(12). It is given to you in the question what f'(2) is
is this sound reasoning?
yup!

Im getting no solution 💀💀??
to solve an inequality you first solve $\sqrt{9x - 20} = x$
joren
first step would be getting rid of the square root, do you know how to do this?
not sure why he wants to solve it that way if im being honest
anyway, I can help you get the same results in a different way, its quite simple
to get rid of the square root we, square both sides to remove the square root: $9x - 20 = x^2$
joren
re-order to get them all on the same side: $x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0$
joren
then unbind the factors to solve the quadratic formula: $(x-4)(x-5) = 0$
joren
so the solution is x = 4 and x= 5, then you could graph the functions and see where $\sqrt{9x - 20}$ is smaller than $x$
joren
is both of them graphed, you can see they intersect at 4 and 5, and you can see which one is smaller visually.
@autumn canopy I dont understand why one would take this approach, would you be able to explain why you'd take this approach with root inequalities? Solely because checking the results of intersect result(s) and see if they are valid after squaring can get annoying?
Yea got it
@desert wagon Has your question been resolved?
Well it's more analytical than "graph the function and see which is smaller"
fair enough
Essentially, it's the same, it's just that I keep it in inequality form and you convert it, then convert back
But yeah, with your way, you should definitely look at the domain too
Don't forget about that

$ If f(x) = ln x, then \lim{x}{3} \frac{f(x)-f(x)}{x-3} = $
$ If f(x) = ln x, then \lim{x}{3} \frac{f(x)-f(x)}{x-3} = $
If $f(x) = \ln(x)$, then $\lim{x}{3} \frac{f(x)-f(x)}{x-3} =?$
?
whats wrong with the bot
Percy
oh
x approaches three?
Lim as x approaches 3
Texit hates you
it's asking for f'(3)
would that be the same as the deriv of ln x
uh
no...
why x'
what is the derivative of ln(x)
what the hell is x'
1/x
yes, so just plug in 3
so no chain rule in here?
its the spaces before and after the $. the bot doesnt like those
no
chain rule is for when you differentiate a function in some variable with another variable
$\frac{d}{d \theta} \cos(\phi)= sin(\theta) \frac{d \phi}{\theta}$
Percy
And stuff like that.
yea so only deriv with respect to another var
something you can expect to see in physics
yessir
also, lim as x approaches infinity of $\frac{ln(e^{3x+x})}{x}$
lxve
$\frac{\ln(e^{3x+x})}{x}$
simple mistake
Percy
yeah okay so
anyways, this would be infinity right?
yeah i guessssssss?
because 3x is a higher co-eff than x?
no...
would ln and e not cancel out, leaving 3x + x / x essentially?
yes
i think so
then wouldn't that mean the top is bigger
3x+x/x is 4 yeah
x cancels out sir
they are of the same degree
in general, try not to generalise math like that
it's better to understand stuff
than memorise it
just like
as something you should aspire to do
it's fine to memorise for now lmao
i would try but i have the final and its basically memorize for tmr
Mmmm
im decent at calc, just unit 1 i forgot a lot
Just remember that you have to be able to tell when top and bottom have same degree then use co efficient
If this not the case look for the bigger (top or bottom)
lxve
Why would it be wrong way?
or should i strictly focus on it being $\frac{4x}{x} = \frac{4}{1}$
lxve
yea, but i canceled it out rather than focused on the degree
just wondering if this method wouldnt work on a different equation
When you have something that simple don’t bother searching for other longer method
okay, i was just making sure if that simple method was the right way
but i got it now
thank you all

no
360
<@&286206848099549185>
<@&286206848099549185>
answer is 52 degrees
since it is a quadrilateral,the sum of all of those interior angles is 360,right? so add all those interior angles and subtract it from 360!
360-(230+42+36) = 360-308
=52 degrees!
thanks!
what grade mathematics is this? btw
middle school, like 6th grade
i guessed it lol
anyway,hope you got the answer~!

can anyone please teach me how this works
What you don’t understand
The whole thing?
after the factoring
yeah
please help :(
pleaes anyone
please someone help me
i need help
please
im begging
the period is defined by f(x+T)=f(x) where T is the period
so they add the period to get another solution. there are technically infinitely many, because you are purely lookin in the interval 0 to 360
because you have simplified the equation to sin(2x)=-1
so 270 is a solution to this
but you can also get another solution by adding the period
i.e. sin(2x)=-1=sin(2x+T)
ok i see thank you

what is the formula for solving this, if there is any
Potatomonke
You are given the diameter and circumference of the objects
So just find the radius by using the given diameter and circumference, plug them into the formula, and find the difference
$\mathrm{Diameter} = 2r$ and $\mathrm{Circumference} = 2 \pi r$ just for reference

are all rotational matrices orthogonal? 3x3, 2x2?
thanks
proof would be appreciated (link or if you could do it here :D)
@cursive oyster Has your question been resolved?
@cursive oyster Has your question been resolved?
any linear transformation when composed into its SVD can be thought of as three successive linear transformations: a rotation, a scaling, and another rotation
transposing the SVD gives you the SVD of the transpose, and while transposing a scalar multiplication doesn't do anything, transposing a rotation results in a rotation in the opposite direction
effectively undoing a rotation
in other words, the transpose of a rotation matrix is exactly its inverse
A^T = A^-1 is exactly the condition for a matrix to be orthogonal
SVD?
singular value decomposition
ok i'll have to look into that
suppose i have a circle with a normal vector n2 and another with normal vector n1
if i rotate n1 about n1xn2, what exactly happens? does c1 get rotated onto the same place as c2?
here's a slightly more straightforward proof btw, this will get you to the A^T = A^-1 result which directly defines an orthogonal matrix
after i apply the rotation matrix to all the points on the circle ofc
thank you

can i get sm hint on proving these
i think (b) is implied by (a) so with (a) please
hi man
could be an induction thing
just expand it by binomial theorem dude
nCr
yeah. also hi
Would be helpful to know which definition of C you are using
im trying to do it without biomial theoremvsince im not yet supposed to have learned it
alright basically, consider that you have n+1 balls, and you want to pick r+1 balls
now the number of ways to do that, is basically n+1 C r+1 right?
SirGareth
yeah
Of course
now, try to count it a different way:
say you have the first ball,
In that case you just prove it by induction and through a lot of algebra
we can say, the number of ways to choose r+1 balls = no. ways to choose r+1 balls not choosing 1 + no. of ways to choose r balls while 1 is chosen right?
yes

The average of two numbers can be found by adding them and then dividing the result by 2.
The average of 7 and p is −3. Find p by writing and solving an equation.
I don't understand how to start^-^
Do you know what is average of two numbers?
So if I had numbers x and y, what would be the average?
yea
yea!
Now, read your exercise and tell me what information do you have.
u need to find out what p is
So here what info u got?
Can you replace x, y or A with any info?
7 and p
What would be 7 and p?
u need to find the average of them- so u divided them by 2?
Read out loud this. The average of 7 and p is -3
Do you need to find the average or they already told you the average?
u have already been told the averge
So in our equation
Which letter represents the average?
A
And the average how much is it?
Read this again.
-3
A bit strange way to write
Write the final equation like this
But using the info u have about A
If you know A, just replace it
Perfect
Now this is the equation to find p, the other number
Do you know how to solve this equation?
um not quite.srry.
Ok so what is bothering you most in the equation?
umm just what i should do first ig..., do i bring all the numbers one side? or do i uhh bring divide or add the numbers??
and what about the p?
yep!
p=something
But now p is with other stuff near so we need to isolate p
For now, the most problematic this is the fraction
yea
We are dividing by 2 and that doesnt allow us to work essily
which is basically dividing the numbers
So we are gonna remove it
where do we put it than?
By doing the same thing in both sodes lf the equation
I will show you the method with an easy example
oh ok
no?
yep!
Ok so we are gonna use this technique in our equation
If you have one side dividing by 2
What operation is the inverse of division,
we need to divide the other side by 2!
Yes, but remember you have to do in both sides
Like this
2(7+p)/2=2(-3)
Now, do you know how to simplify in the left side of the equation?
14 + p = -6
$\frac{2(7+p)}{2} = 2(-3)$
Samuel
Look at this
What happens in the left side?
2 is multipliying (7+p) but (7+p) is also being dividing by 2
oh
Do you see a way to simplify?
14 + 2p/2 = -6
Do not distribute the parenthesis
Do like this
$\frac{\cancel{2}(7+p)}{\cancel{2}} = 2(-3)$
Samuel
Do you understand this?
I will explain with objects
Everybinside the parenthesis is one thing
Lets call (7+p) = potato
If we have 2 popatoes and divide them between 2 people
How many potatoes get every person?
1
And 1 potato was equal to (7+p)
So 2(7+p) divided by 2 has to be 7+p
Do you see now?
-13
Yeah that is correct

What is common?
That doesn't matter tho
Wot
oh so p is 5/2 ?
Now what is the area of the triangle interms of x ?
UHhhh, idk
A = ½ BH
The base we consider X
Or rather then x lets call it z so to not confuse with the coordinates system
Ok
Do you know the hight of one of the triangles ?
it is 5/2 i think
How are you getting 5/2
How does that give you the hight ?
cuz m is x,0
Can you draw the hight on the diagram?

How do I turn fractions into decimals that don’t evenly equal 10 or 100? I was doing khan academy and they only did ones that evenly equal 10 or 100
do long division
Could you maybe show an example please?
here is with decimals
it's better prolly
So basically do this?
Yeah, and then you'd do the standard division algorithm you were probably taught
Ohhhhh I thought it was way more complicated than it was. Thanks both of you!

what's the difference between this ^ and dW
@spark nebula Has your question been resolved?

✅
actually it's from thermo dynamics
look
ther's alot of that symbol sometimes it's interpreted as a d
but i think it's different from d
Yeah I remember thermo being full of cursed notations that don't actually matter to the problems haha
i that it does matter 💀 (i have to understand it )
dU is definitely referencing a differential form over a manifold, and δw isn't. But for the average problem, they certainly both mean "difference between"
Well, maybe I can dig a bit more into it. Which book are you using?
it's not a book i have the lesson pdf
and our university made it
i can send you the pdf
Surely your class has a book though?
But yeah I'll take a look at the pdf if that's cool with you
i don't know they give us lessons that's all, in papers and as a pdf file

Hey guys, my teacher used AM-GM inequility to say the following:
I can't really understand what is happening here
he basically did it to find a smaller denominator for the fraction at the top
Using $\frac{a + b}2 \geq \sqrt{ab}$ but with $a = 1$ and $b = n^2$, then rearranging?
@tribal temple
ohhh its the AM-GM inequlity for 1 and n^2
then he multiplied by 2
okay i did not see it at all lol
Yep yep 
that's a plus sign?

does anyone know how to do these, even one would help
ye u gotta find the apothem
for question 2
@prisma narwhal Has your question been resolved?
whats the apothem and how do I find it
<@&286206848099549185>
D
@prisma narwhal Has your question been resolved?
@prisma narwhal
just use the equation
a=.5ap
where a is the apothem
and p is the perimeter of the polygon

58th
yes but i am not getting what to do
well what does the MVT say
it just says what it says
🤔
finite derivative must exist in (a,b) given that function is continuous and diff
For some c
well it says that if a function is differentiable on the open interval (a,b) and continuous in the closed interval [a,b] then there exists some c in the interval such that f’(c)=average rate of change over that interval
so what’s the average rate of change
Or chord joining f(a) and f(b) must have same slope as tangent drawn to curve at c inn (a,b)
Slope of secant
mhm
Derivative
oh you mean I should write the lmvt expression for f in (a,b) but what do I do about the (a^2 + b^2 + ab) I get their hanging
How do i express it in terms of c
Yes
so you have f(b) and f(a)
so what would f’(c)=
go to the unused help channels
Go to help
thank you
And type something
This would equal that
Which you wrote before
The average rate of change
mhm but with numbers
For some c
4/b-a
so just put that in for f’(c)
you get (b^3-a^3)(4/(b-a))
Right
Yeah
do you remember how
I got until here but then went blank
(b-a)(b^2+ab+a^2)
yes
so the b-a cancels
Right
they want it in terms of c?
hmm
use the form (a^2+ab+b^2)/k = c^2 where k is some integer and solve for k
huh
Solve for k how
all the answers are multiples of c^2
so you can set your original equation
4(b^2+ab+a^2)= kc^2
I think they want us to apply lmvt for some different function which already includes c^2
where k is some constant
nice
yeah it's good for exams but that's not how those mcqs are designed we must get a cancer even if we didn't use the options
in terms of c
Answer*
Funny autocorrect
@lavish venture hey is this enough math to start integral calculus
Or I should know some more things
what else do you know
i’ve never seen this formula before tbh
what book is this?
I did monotonicity minima maxima rolles theorem lmvt cauchys mean value theorem
It's an exam preparation book used in my country not a famous one
Tangent and normals
ahh that makes more sense
Curve sketching
Yeah I did inverse periodic and composite functions
exponentials logarithms trig functions inverse trig functions etc
all the derivative rules
But I didn't do a chapter called matrices and determinants it's pretty big I started calculus before that
Yeah
And functional equations
what country are you from if you don’t mind me asking
India
ahh so is this like JEE prep
Yes but I still don't wanna miss anything which is not included in jee either because like next year after jee I will directly start learning multivariable calc
So I just wanna make sure I know just enough stuff before that
integration shouldn’t be challenging so long as you know your derivatives
Because after jee I would have plenty of time to just devote it to math and not other subjects
how many other subjects are there
chem
physics
bio?
Chemistry and physics yes but there's alot in it like physical organic and inorganic chemistry
Thickbooks for each
And physics in itself is huge
man to high school students is crazy
No it's an engineering entrance exam so no bio
Yes but we have pretty experienced chemistry teachers here
its a joke!
Yes literally nuts
the standardized tests are formalities if you actually take your education seriously
why
(in america)
Why is it that easy
🤷🏼♂️
Do you guys not require extreme problem solving skills in unis
americans are stupid
i meant to reply to this
there is a large gradient in the population
Literally research is 0 here education is a joke here
yea ik it doesn’t make much sense when thinking of it at first
american universities have a lot of funding
this as well
it's more difficult
You mean if I were in USA I would easily get into Harvard or mit
not neccesarily
because our admissions don't just care about academics
a really really really big part of it is extracurriculars
Wtf why would they give 2 fucks about art or sport extracurriculars if I wanted to major in theoretical physics
research experience is good, participation in clubs that are relevant, competition math, volunteer hours
they want this
they like leadership
and just getting involved
Wtf
for theoretical physics they'd want to probably see early participation in higher level physics like college classes
they want the next bill gates
Why
and maybe physics olympiad
the next president
Why not next stephen hawking or Oppenheimer
and research is a massive +
Why bills gates
because bill gates is rich and they want notable rich alumni
MIT and caltech probably want the next hawking or oppenheimer more
oh and notably your grades are a baseline
Lmao but what does education have to do with riches
you need to have good enough grades
funding!!
but grade inflation is rampant here
thats what we say but
in reality
they want that because they like having well rounded students
Here grades don't decide anything if you get a 75% in your high-school graduate test and you Crack a competitive like jee you're just well off compared to someone who got 90% on graduate test
Because 90% guy won't get any good uni
students who demonstrate grit and adaptability
grades are just the bare minimum
^
Unis only care for competitive
being valedictorian guarantees you nothing
generally for competitive admissions to test-required schools
you do want to look for an almost perfect score
So should I move to America or Europe after undergrad lol I don't see a point staying here for higher education as it's a joke
like 1520+/1600
yea
you should
don’t most indian kids do that
only rich ones
And some poor ones who get scholarship
a lot come even for undergrad
if you get a scholarship
I have some friends who will move right after jee
did you apply to any american schools?
no why would i
well he didn’t take the JEE yet
oh thats true
It's unaffordable
so i’d assume he’s like 16
i mean with aid
Turning 17 in 3 days
that is understandable though
No aid programs for undergrads
depends on your family income
there are plenty
well
not all schools do it
but if you shoot for some of the prestigious ones
there are plenty
for international students
Yeah that's the point it's not less or more
lol
you’re right in the middle?
upper middle
that’s unfortunate for college costs
yes
truly
Are you guys math grads
nope!
then
i’m a senior in high school
im about to graduate from high school, i just like studying math on my own and in college
indeed!
i took on a heavier load this year so i was a little swamped
What's aps
advance placement program
you take courses for college credit
while in high school
nope!
no
Wtf
i am taking it next semester though
barely
It's my favorite chapter until now
wait
hold on
ohhh
yes
we do have complex numbers
i thought you were talking about complex analysis
Not like the complex number geometry and root analysis de movire and all those stiff
Stuff
💀
and complex roots to polynomials
That was first 5 minutes of cn class which lasted for 2 weeks and 6 days
yup
lol
my teacher did cover de Moivre's but honestly
when we did
I was checked out
2 years ago
or 3
lol
precalculus
How is that calculus
and matrices
Okay
pre-calculus
so taught before
its generally just a fundamentals class for calculus
thats where my teacher covered complex numbers too
this in theory
should have all been covered
This is precal for me in that sense
yea that looks about right
yes this is indeed precalculus
though many teachers don't think students are ready for alot of the vocabulary
Hmm they covered it as the first chapter in jee
so they're really dumbed down in how they're referred too
Do you guys had analytic geometry
that’s uni
Indepth analysis of 2D curves
I took it at a college
