Hello I was doing some practice problems and I keep getting two answers for one so can someone help
“Find the area bounded by y=x^3 and y=x^2-2x over (-1,1)”
what the
because that's the conversion between kg and amu?

hello! im trying to figure out why this could be marked as wrong
heres the other ones for context.
would it just be "missing a •"
i think ur supposed to keep it as just 7m+10 m^2
hm alright lemme try
cuz you factored it when all the other answers are simplified
maybe they want it to be m(7+10m)
communative property
no kidding
but they might have coded the answer to be accepted as ^
thats as far as u can simplify it
yeah i had it written what i thought was correct beforehand but then rewrote it per the advice i got and now the answers locked and its telling me its 999 lol
oh well

need calc help on hw i understand the concept but just need some guidance
To solve $ \int^{3}_{1}5xln(x)dx$ ik that $u=ln(x)$ and $dv=5x$, meaning $du=(1/x)dx)$ and $v=(5x^2)/2$
wait i wrote that completely wrong let me fix the notation
fre
seems alright
that part is intuitive
idk why i get tripped up next tho
i got $ln(x)\frac{5x^2}{2}-\int\frac{5x^2}{2}\frac{1}{x}$
im so bad at this notation thing wow
one sec
fre
there we go
this part is correct right
cause after this is where i get tripped up
anyone?

this question is about transformations of functions
im just wondering where the vertical shift of 1 came from
there is no shift
that's just e^(-(0^2 + 0^2))

I need helpp
What is g(3)?
Just look at y values
i don’t understand the concept & i can’t find the answer
You don't understand how to read the graph?
ok, I'll give an example. g(1) = 0
because if we look at the graph of g, at x=1, the line of g(x) it at y=0
However, you also need to know that an open circle means that the graph is not defined at that point
oh
heello i need to learn absolute value and i barely undeeerstand a thing is anyone down for vc?

ok, if the circle was closed, what would f(3) be?
=1?

Hi! How do I solve int x^3e^x dx from 0 to \pi? I’ve solved the int x^3e^x dx using Tabular method. So, do I just have to insert the limits now?
so youve found the indefinite integral, now just use the fundamental theorem of calculus. assuming your answer is given by F(x) - to find the answer we use the FTC, which gives us F(pi) - F(0) to find the answer

no comprendo
which part don't you understand first
how Dp/dt = Bo - Do goest to M = BoPo/Do. i dont rlly get population models i tried watching videos and i know the equations but just dont understand
that's the whole point of the problem
solve the differential equation first
"limiting population" is the limit of P(t) as t goes to infinity
do i keep it as dP/dt = aP-bP^2 to solve it?
solve the differential equation means to find P(t) in terms of t
yes
tbh you could just look for equilibria instead of solving the DE fully

Why is my answer (b) partially incorrect? Am I misinterpreting the notion of interval of convergence?
the ratio test should use absolute value
which means the final inequality should be |x - 3| < 1 instead
so you got that it has a radius of convergence of 1, but then how did u conclude that the interval of convergence is (-infinity, 4]?
(and for all x less than or equal to 4?
what do you mean here?)

Hey @carmine sigil still available by any chance?
I'd have to double check.
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
divide by sin^2
1 + cot^2 = csc^2
cot^2 = csc^2 - 1
yes
my bad
np, what confuses me is I got
-[ln(sin)]5,2 - [u^2/2]5,2
I put the problem into integral calculator and the whole answer is only from the first term
the second term isn't part of the answer
do you happen to know why
I haven't sat down to crunch the numbers. There is a possibility that two terms cancel somehow.
also only one of these should be negative.
if you got integral of cot csc^2
u = cot
du = -csc^2
do u know the mechanism behind this
if du contains a negative
but its not part of the problem
I don't completely understand the logic behind it
so du = -
Is the logic you are multiplying by a negative you don't have in the problem
so you have to divide by a negative in the problem?
and if you divide by -1 its just -integral?
If you have integral cot u csc^2 u du, and let v = cot u, then dv = -csc^2 u du, so we have
integral cot u csc^2 u du
integral cot u (-1)(-1) csc^2 u du
integral cot u (-1) (-csc^2 u du)
- integral v dv
Ok so multiply by -1
I guess dividing by -1 is the same
yeah, same thing
so its -[(1/sqrt(x^2-1))^2/2]5,2
the second term
I don't think it cancels
itself
guess I'll just revisit later
can you remind me what the original question is again?
is the answer, the same thing obtained from the first term
The two terms are -[ln(sin)]5,2 - [u^2/2]5,2
Sin of what
Exactly
but he's not replacing the u values with x values I don't think
sin theta because we still have to plug back in sin theta
The two terms are -[ln(sin)]5,2 - [u^2/2]5,2
sin theta = sqrt(x^2-1)/x
-[ln(sin)]5,2
becomes
-[x/sqrt(x^2-1)]5,2
and - [u^2/2]5,2
u is cot
cot theta = 1/sqrt(x^2-1)
becomes -[1/2sqrt(x^2-1)]5,2
this answer is just obtained from the first term -[x/sqrt(x^2-1)]5,2, I don't understand whats happening with the -[1/2sqrt(x^2-1)] 5,2

Why do you distribute the exponents here?
How do you know when you are supposed to distribute and when to leave like that
wdym?
5 being distributed to the nominator and denaminator
It is not a must, that's just simplifying it
How do you know when you should do it and when not
Cuz some of the answers don’t have it in simplified form
I mean typically on an exam, you would get correct answers for both
And otherwise that’s one of the answers there
Well that’s answer A and that’s the wrong one
Wrong according to answer sheet or?
I mean the only thing I can tell you is that it doesn't matter if you distribute the 5 to the nominator or denaminator, both expressions are completely fine
The most important part is that you do the chain rule + product rule correctly, wether you distribute the 5 or not, is just preference of how to write the expression
You can also use quotient yes
So I can do it without distributing?
Yes
F(x)=Cos(x)
G(x)=1+sin(x)
?
Yes, that's correct, and then you just apply quotient rule
I personally prefer using product rule, but both methods work equally as fine
I see thank you lemme try
In math there are multiple ways to write expressions and multiple ways to take derivative
It’d confuse me putting it at the numirator haha
No method is more correct than the other, so it's all up to preference really
Thank you, I’ll try
haha yea, I know. Some might find it more complicated and confusing
Good luck!
Thank you!

hi
there are solutions for x1,x2,x3 and x4 but those solutions arent unique cos the system is underdetermined and uh x1,x2,x3 can take many vals by the equation 2x1-x2+3x3 = 9/2, while x4 = -5/2 is fixed

Wait hang on, uncross that, H and K are assumed to be (Sylow 2-)subgroups of order 16, and H is a subgroup of N(H intersect K)
it literally is just that

Hello umm, is help available here?

not here katheryn
Oh okay, sorry
sorry, the normalizer has to contain H int K. but why would it contain H?
H \cap K has index 2 in H
so H \cap K is normal in H

A,B,C,D are points on a circle S, AB is the diameter and C and D is not the diameter and C and D are on opposite sides of AB, let P be the intersection point of the tangent at C and D, let Q be the intersection of AC and BD, let R be the intersection of AD and BC, prove that PQR are on a single line
status 1, this question is horrifying
looks like
so we know RCDQ is cyclic
and it also kinda looks like P is the centre of that circle
so maybe try doing a phantom point
let P be the centre of that circle
and then prove that it lies on the tangents at C and D
whats a phabtom point
oh basically it's doing it in reverse
so as in if we let P' be the centre of the circle and show that it lies on the tangent at C and at D
then P' must be the intersection of those tangents, so P' = P
RCQ = RDQ
geometry moment
is it not enough to prove that ADQ = 90 degrees?
similar thing with ACR
adq is 90 yea
well theres that theorem right
yeah RCQ = RDQ = 90 because ACB = ADB = 90
if you draw a triangle with two vertices on the diameter, and third vertex on circumference, then that angle is 90 degrees
so if ADQ is 90, then point d will be on the circle with diameter RQ
i dont know if my logic is faulty cuz i havent done geometry proofs in over 3 years, but i think thats abt it?
vut how does that prove PQR is in a line
sorry i meant RQ is the diameter
they haven't
i think they're explaining why RCDQ is cyclic
wait no im stupid that doesnt prove P is on it
yea basically ACB=ADB=90=ACR=ADQ
yes you can extend that into cyclic quadrilaterals to prove it
ill try to solve it on paper to get a proper proof, my brain isnt braining rn 😭
yeah so basically this was what i was saying
assume you draw line CP' DP' and extend it, there is only one circle S that fits
since PD = PC and from the problem statement we know that P lies on RQ, the diameter
that means that P has to be the centre of the circle
it feels like there's more things we can say if we know P is the centre of the circle rather than the intersection of 2 random tangents
so instead let's set P (probably should use P' in ur write-up but i'm lazy)
to be the centre of this circle
and then show that PD and PC are tangent to our circle
(this also means it's hard to "accidentally assume" something is a straight line)
wait
isnt the proof done then
cause P'=P veing the center of the circle means RQ is the diameter which means P is on RQ
we still need to show this
as in we still need to show P'D is tangent to our original circle
also looking at the diagram, it looks like CD is antiparallel to QR
antiparallel?
oh wait yeah nvm it's obvious
antiparallel means that BRQ = BDC
which is true by cyclic quads
it feels like we have quite a lot of information actually so proving that P'C is tangent to our original circle shouldn't be too hard hopefully
yeah ok i've done it
let P and S be some arbitrary point
from that point you just angle chase
oh
go on
actually nvm
i mean thats the title for tbis chapter :(
wait is this EGMO?
no
nvm
but yeah basically to recap:
can u finish it off from here?
is this lije fir proving P'D is tangent?
yeah
i was kinda hoping for some random P you choose C and D and theres only 1 S that is tangent to both, so just find some location for C and D and you get your S
but i dont think this is valid lol
yeah no
so we know CRQ = CDB
there's lots of angles equal to CDB
similarly, we know RP = CP
wait what
oh nvm
CDB=CRP'=RCP'
RCQ=90=RCP'+QCP'
QCP'=90-CDB
yea idk what after that to angle chase that
CDB=CSB/2
ABC=CBS=180-CSB=180-2CDB
where did i go wrong
lemme repost this so i can see
ok i went wrong somewhere here
CBA=90-CAB=90-CDB
got it
so P'=P
after that its just the fact that RQ is the diameter so P is on it right?

I'm trying to follow the following proof. How are they getting to it's false that Pr(e | A & ~T) is many times greater than Pr(e | T)?

your notation is confusing, is the final /bb meant to mean its all multiplied by b^(-2)?
@untold oriole Has your question been resolved?
here you don't ask for a solution read #❓how-to-get-help
right now if I understand how you wrote things correctly
you have one fraction with a numerator that are made of two fraction that are multiplied and divided on the value of b multiplied by itself (denominator)
correct?
if so, you will work on the numerator first like the two fractions above
then handle what will remain above with the main denominator which is bb
it would be helpful if you provided context regarding what each of those variables are (e, B, T)
this looks like some variation of bayes theorem
They're arbitrary propositions. Like A, B, C
$Pr(e | t) = [Pr(B | T)\cdot Pr(e | T \cap B)] + [Pr(B^c | T) \cdot Pr(e | T \cap B^c)]$
artemetra
just for myself
i believe its an instance of the law of total probability
it is
like per the law of total probaility,
Pr(e) = [Pr(B) x Pr(e | B) + [Pr(~B) x Pr(e | ~B)]
and then i think it works with conditional probability the same
Pr(e | T) = [Pr(B | T) x Pr(e | T & B) + [Pr(~B | T) x Pr(e | T & ~B)]
sorry idk how to write latex
yeah right
we are given that T happens so we apply it as a condition to every probability
but i honestly don't get anything written from line 7 and onwards. what is A? why is it restating the exact same thing on line 9 as on line 3?
here i got all the text ```Pr(e | T) = [Pr(B | T) x Pr(e | T & B)] + [Pr(~B | T) x Pr(e | T & ~B)]
The idea here is that, P(e | T) will be an average of Pr(e | T & B) and Pr(e | T & ~B). What makes it an average is the fact that Pr(B) + Pr(~B) = 1. But it is not necessarily a straight average because Pr(B | T) and Pr(~B | T) may not each equal 1/2. Thus, for example, if Pr(B | T) = 2 / 3 and Pr(~B | T) = 1 / 3, then Pr(e | T & B) is given twice as much weight as Pr(e | T & ~B) in calculating the average.
Suppose Pr(B | T) is very high, and also that Pr(e | B & T) is much greater than Pr(e | A & ~T). Then it's false that Pr(e | A & ~T) is many times greater than Pr(e | T)
This is because Pr(e | T) = [Pr(B | T) x Pr(~B | T)] + [Pr(~B | T) x Pr(e | T & ~B)]```
where did you get it
Pr(B | T) is very high, i think it means Pr(B | T) > Pr(~B | T)
nvm it's not restating the same thing
are you sure there isn't a typo or something on the last line
yikes
i replaced HI with A & ~T
?
the author is making an argument using technical probability formulas
let ‘O’ stand for a statement reporting what we know about the pain and pleasure in the world.
‘hypothesis of indifference’ or ‘HI’ for short, which states that neither the nature nor the condition of sentient beings on earth is the result of actions performed by benevolent or malevolent non-human persons.
the belief that there is life after death (‘L’ for short).
Suppose that P(L/T) were very high
so we suppose that given theism, there is a high [chance of] belief that there is life after death
not really sure what O is supposed to mean but
and also that P(O/L&T) were much greater than P(O/HI).
and given theism and belief of life after death, we know much more about pain and pleasure in the world than if we were given 'hypothesis of indifference' (???)
okay i think i am starting to sorta get it
ideally, it shouldnt matter. the inference should all mathematically follow by virtue of the form of the formulas, irrespect of the semantics of the formula
but i believe O is supposed to mean "there is a mixed distribution of pain and pleasure in the world"
yeah, ideally. the author is making vague assumptions about certain probabilities and uses them as arguments for inference, mixing probability theory and just sentential logic
yeah it is unnusual
so from my gathering, he's trying to show if Pr(L | T) >> Pr(~L | T), and Pr(O | L & T) >> Pr(O | HI), then Pr(O | T) ≥ Pr(O | HI)
and he left this unstated, by HI entails ~T
so Pr(HI) ≤ Pr(T)
maybe its easier to work with if we focus on a simplified version of the problem
lets say he's instead arguing that if Pr(L | T) >> Pr(~L | T), and Pr(O | L & T) >> Pr(O | ~T), then Pr(O | T) ≥ Pr(O | ~T)
and he's appealing to two theorems for his reasoning:
Pr(O | T) = [Pr(L | T) x Pr(O | T & L)] + [Pr(~L | T) x Pr(O | T & ~L)]
Pr(O | ~T) = [Pr(L | ~T) x Pr(O | ~T & L)] + [Pr(~L | ~T) x Pr(O | ~T & ~L)]
any ideas on how this derivation would go?
i see how to prove the first one but not the second one
prove
or at least show it's true. draw a venn diagram
the first one? which one
Pr(O | T) = [Pr(L | T) x Pr(O | T & L)] + [Pr(~L | T) x Pr(O | T & ~L)]
oh
Pr(O | ~T) = [Pr(L | ~T) x Pr(O | ~T & L)] + [Pr(~L | ~T) x Pr(O | ~T & ~L)] is true by the same reasoning
the law of total probability
oh wait
yes but idk where that B came from
typo!
yeah all good now

@untold oriole Has your question been resolved?

The question.
Has this equation or math been solved sorry for my bad english hehe
ur english is good
Tru
=>Pr(e | T) means the chance of e happening if T is true. To calculate this, we look at two possible situations: When B happens with T. When B does not happen (~B) with T.
We calculate Pr(e | T) by combining both situations. This combination is a "weighted average," where the weights depend on how often B happens when T is true (Pr(B | T)) and how often B does not happen when T is true (Pr(~B | T)).
If B happens a lot when T is true (meaning Pr(B | T) is high), then Pr(e | T & B) will matter more in the overall average. So, if Pr(e | T & B) is big, it makes Pr(e | T) bigger.
=>Now, let’s look at the statement:
"It’s false that Pr(e | A & ~T) is many times greater than Pr(e | T)." This means they’re saying Pr(e | A & ~T) is not way bigger than Pr(e | T).
Why? Because if B happens a lot, and when B and T happen, e also happens a lot, it pushes Pr(e | T) higher. So, it becomes hard for Pr(e | A & ~T) to be much bigger than Pr(e | T) since Pr(e | T) is already high due to the impact of B.
i dont know if it correct translation because i translate it to my language to english universal language hehe
In short:
Pr(e | T) gets bigger when B happens often and makes e happen more.
Because of this, it's not true that Pr(e | A & ~T) is much bigger than Pr(e | T).
This happens BECAUSE Pr(e | T) is already boosted by the likelihood of B happening and making e happen more often when T is true. So, Pr(e | A & ~T) can't be much bigger than Pr(e | T).
why can't they became can't be much bigger than Pr(e | T)???
Pr(e | T) because Pr(e | T) already takes into account two key factors:
Pr(e | T & B) (when B and T both happen).
Pr(e | T & ~B) (when B doesn’t happen, but T does).
if B happens often with T (meaning Pr(B | T) is high), and e happens much more when B and T occur together (Pr(e | T & B) is high), this makes Pr(e | T) bigger.
Since Pr(e | T) is already large due to B happening frequently and pushing up the chance of e, it's unlikely that Pr(e | A & ~T) will be many times larger. This is because Pr(e | T) has already been raised by the influence of B and can’t be easily overshadowed by Pr(e | A & ~T).
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Pr(e | T) is higher, making it harder for Pr(e | A & ~T) to be much bigger than that.
In simple terms: Pr(e | T) is boosted by B and can't easily be overshadowed by Pr(e | A & ~T), BECAUSE Pr(e | T) is already high due to how much B affects it. That's why Pr(e | A & ~T) can't be many times larger than Pr(e | T).
are you saying it true that false that Pr(e | A & ~T) is many times greater than Pr(e | T)?
The statement is saying it’s false that Pr(e | A & ~T) is many times greater than Pr(e | T). In other words, it is not true that Pr(e | A & ~T) is way bigger than Pr(e | T).
This happens because Pr(e | T) is already boosted by the likelihood of B happening and making e happen more often when T is true. So, Pr(e | A & ~T) can't be much bigger than Pr(e | T).
i get why Pr(e | T) is getting bigger. Pr(e | A & ~T) might be higher than Pr(e | T), no? I mean, what if Pr(e | T) is still really small even after being boosted.
damn it i am so stupid my bad bro
I am sorry, but I am a little confused about your what if. Hehe, I don't get it that really, but this is my own understanding of your what if, sir, maam, or any gender:
Even if Pr(e | T) is small, B has already given it a boost. So, while Pr(e | A & ~T) could be higher, it probably won’t be much higher because Pr(e | T) already got some help from B, and that makes it harder for the difference to be huge.
I am sorry, is this cheating? I am using a QuillBot to fix my grammar.
"it probably won’t be much higher" but is it guaranteed that it wont be much higher?
do you still need help
Fortunately, your thinking is wrong
Don't post in others' channel
Don't help this person
Yeah
18n + 18×19/2 =144,169,225,289
Check which gives integer value
If 2 or more integer value then select the lowest one
OKIE OKIE My answer, sir/maam/any pronoun, is no; it's not guaranteed that Pr(e | A & ~T) won't be much higher than Pr(e | T). It’s just less likely if Pr(e | T) already got a boost from B. But there's no absolute rule that says it can't happen. It just depends on the specific numbers for Pr(e | A & ~T) and how much Pr(e | T) got boosted by B. So, Pr(e | A & ~T) could still be higher—it just wouldn’t be many times bigger unless something special happens with A and ~T
okay, so i think there is a rule or collection of rules and am trying to figure out how it all works. if you & i arent sure, maybe someone else can aid

well first can you write out the cubic polynomial they describe?
i got the equation
2(x-2)(x-3)(x+5)
do i just set this equal to 120
yeah
and solve for x?
yup
looks wrong to me
you should expect 1, 2, or 3 different values of x as the answers depending on how many times it hits 120
you know it has to hit at least once because it's an odd function
yeah that's what I get
what is this even supposed to mean then
books have mistakes, that or maybe you turned to the wrong section of answers
you're in the same chapter for the answers right, idk what else it might be
like they changed some things for a newer edition of the book but forgot to fix the solutions

how was the lamba cubed - 8 factored?
You have (lambda² -1) as common factor for both
They actually factored by (lambda² - 1) instead of factoring by (lambda³ - 8)
you have $ac - bc$ if $a = \lambda^3, b = 8, c = \lambda^2 - 1$
I thought the lamba 2 -1 was the (lambda-1)(lamba+1) part
south's secret twin brother
ahhhh wait I see what you are asking now
difference of two cubes
Yeah after
$a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)$
south's secret twin brother
after the first line what was done to get to the second line
Oooooohhh right that was this asking
They think lambda³ - 8 as lambda³ - 2³ and use the formula that south remind us
completing the square
so note that x^2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)^2
ah so was it like you factor x and the 1/2 of the constant B
and then subtract (1/2 b ^2) ?
oh yeah, so (x + b)^2 = x^2 + 2bx + b^2
so if you have the coefficient of the middle term, 2b
halve and then square it
(2b/2)^2 = b^2, bingo
Bingo

Can i cut ln both sides
wdym by "cut"
you can apply e^(...) on both sides
but be careful with the -1/10
@thorny delta Has your question been resolved?
essentially no you can't just drop the ln on both sides
what you can do is use the power rule to move the -1/10 inside the ln

You only need a linear term in the numerator if the a factor doesn't have real roots
or is irreducible into linear factors

i’m pretty stumped on how to go by answering this problem
i know i have to use fundamental theorem of calculus but im having a hard time interpreting it from this problem
do you want me to explain it?
yes please
You wanna find g'(x)
ok
We can apply FTC
bacc (unhelpful)
ok
We now use the theorem
bacc (unhelpful)
okay
yup
Now we differentiate both sides with respect to x
bacc (unhelpful)
are you familiar with this notation
yes
bacc (unhelpful)
d/dx f(x) is also by definition just f'(x)
okay..
yes
you need to tell me
i do
do i plug that in into the equation
-4x
okay
it represents any number
it has some value
and good thing
you dont have to figure which value
just that it has one
and by that
f(-4) is a constant
and any constant differentiated
what do you get
0
okay
because you literally plug in x=-4 into the antiderivative
the antiderivative would give you any value
and that differentiated would be 0 because it's a constant
bacc (unhelpful)
okay that part makes sense
bacc (unhelpful)
We said this in the beginning
If f'(t) = ... what is f'(x) = ?
d/dx f(x)
no...
just plug in for t = x
Again $f'(t) = e^{8t^2-9t}$ we defined it like that in the beginning. What is now $f'(x)$?
bacc (unhelpful)
e^(8x^2 -9x)
ya
bacc (unhelpful)
And in fact that's not coincidence
there is a theorem about this that the derivative ends up to be the integrand itself
is that theorem part of 1 or part 2
taking the antiderivative or derivative of e to the x is still e to the x right ?
the derivative yes and antiderivative it would be e^x + C
oh okay
I wish you a good day.
let’s say in that case it was instead r (top) and 0 (at the bottom) , would 0 still be a constant and therefore we only have to plug in r?
bacc (unhelpful)
yess
what if it was reversed where we have a number at the top and r at the bottom? does that mean anything different
no
like -4 at the top and x at the bottom
bacc (unhelpful)
why is that?
It's an integration rule
if there is a number we consider it a constant
yes
and if it’s in the format of r to 0 it’s positive
but if it’s other way around it’s negative
no
what if r = -1
achtung
think of it like this
when you flip the bounds
you put a minus infront of the integral
that's it
okay..
and flipping the bounds
means
that x would be at the bottom instead of the top resulting in a minus in front of integral ?
here visually
instead from a to b you integrate from b to a (backwards) and you make up for it with a minus
oh i see.. also can’t see attachment
bacc (unhelpful)
ok
,, - \int_1^0 x : \dd x = \int_0^1 x : \dd x
bacc (unhelpful)
the region under the curve
but instead you are integrating backwards which would make the area under the curve negative
okay makes sense
