What is the problem, seems like you've got your answer?
$$F = \frac {\mu_smg}{( cos\theta + \mu_s sin\theta ) } $$
smeagol
he probably need a check only
I messed up with signs on the way you guys caught my errors while doing it
Is denominator always != 0 ?
I originally had - ... instead of +
it's a force
if it doesn't change
mu _s is constant too
Oh mechanics the bane of my existence
this is the start of physics + calc 😔
thank you all much
i just messed up with signs

Im asked to solve the inequality:
(I): 2x² - 9x + 6 $\geq$ 0
Hi
prodigydude
What seems to be the problem?
i just want to know how the table of signs of 2x² - 9x + 6 will look like
solve $2x^2 - 9x + 6 = 0$ first

This is the question
How do i know what length tu and uv are if theyre points arent whole numbers
@shrewd elbow Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Does it say u is midpoint
the transverse road go through K, V
So you could find the equation for that road easily
The first and second roads, the x axis are just simply y = k lines
Plug y = k to the transverse road to get T, U and V
No
Then the problem becomes manageable
You forgot that the x axis line is just y = 0
Find the intersection of the transverse road with those 3 lines to get T, U, and V
Is there a formula the intersection?
intersection means that the two lines meet at a point so you would need to equate both roads
because they share the same point in common
don't memorize
So i make them equal eachother or do i do a simultaneously equation
Yes
its the same thing
simultaneous equation works
same thing as making the y's equal to each other
(comparison method)
would recommend using simultaneous equations if working with higher dimensions
what is the problem asking first
At the end when i do it out i get an andwer in the form y=mx+c
sorry didnt read the question was just reading intersection stuff but if you're solving this you need to do something else
eh actually yea nvm what we're doing is correct
thought points were already given so makes sense why you're trying to find intersections
you get the exact x value and then you need to find the y value
you are already given that y=2
Oh yeah the x and y intercepts
yeah
you find the point T coordinate and do the same for U
V is already given (4,0)
just find the distances and thats it
Umm how do i find the x intercept again
x and y intercepts mean something different than what you're thinking
it means where it meets the x and y axis
you just solve this simultaneous equation
to find the x coordinate of the point
I solved it and got y=3x+4
what did you exactly do?
do you remember how to solve simultaneous equations? if no i'd recommend to revise them
You have to get rid of one of the variables
Either x or y
Y+y=2y,3/2x+0and 6+2
2y=3/2x+8
Divide 2 of both sides
y=3x+4
correct, but you are not getting rid of neither of them
you are just finding another true equation
But one of the equations doesnt have a 2nd variable
instead of adding both equations you can either subtract one of the two
or you can confront them
Its just y=2
or you can substitute
y = 2
Ye
and y = -(3/2)x + 6
if you know that y = 2
you can substitute it in the second equation
2 = -(3/2)x + 6
this is substitution method
you can also just subtract both equations
y = 2
. - (y = -(3/2)x + 6)
0 = -(-(3/2)x + 6) + 2
or you can confront them which happens to be the same thing as substituting
first y = second y
2 = -(3/2)x + 6
you should revise how to solve simultaneous equations
do not memorize otherwise you will struggle a lot later on
think about it logically
How so i revise without memorise
understand why you are doing something in the first place
if you do not understand why you are doing it ask the teacher
dont just accept that it's just this way
this applies to everything
history for example, people don't attack other countries for no reason
land expansion? money? position?
well i guess im doing maths to pass exams
you will have a much easier time understanding the thought process behind than memorizing 300 different things
- you might even need these things in real life applications
simultaneous equations are everywhere
maybe some other stuff doesn't appear but you can find these everywhere
still in highschool but i will be in september
In america right?
How does one obtain this level of wisdom in high school
So your only like 2 years older than me
just personal experience in subjects that are not maths 💀
also mostly comes from laziness because my ahh cannot bother memorizing and i also find it fascinating to discover the reason behind stuff
Alright well thanks for the help
np!

Let X,Y,Z be three random variables such that for their corellation p = p(X,Y) = p(X,Z) = p(Y,Z) holds. Which values can p have?
@carmine void Has your question been resolved?
Correlation is proportional to inner product and inner product has a Cauchy Schwarz inequality
Thanks for the hint! You're probably referring to $Cov(X,Y) \leq Var X \cdot Var Y$ aren't you? I have thought about it, but didn't see how I can apply this
Error5506
what's your definition of correlation, is it cov(x,y) / sqrt(var(x)var(y)) ?
Yes
I think without loss of generality you can assume E[X] = E[Y] = E[Z] = 0 and E[X²] = E[Y²] = E[Z²] = 1.
After that the corellation coincides with the inner product.
What values can an inner product take if there are three vectors taking the same inner product?
That's very smart. Even though I unfortunately can't follow the second one...
I think you can further assume this vector spacxe is 3 dimensional by rotation.
At this point you have an equation.
can you just do:
Oh, no
X' = (X - E[X])/sqrt(Var(X))
Is it not what Bungo said
Yes, somehow I squared the numerator and didn't square the denominator
So it is either 0 or 1?
Outstanding move
What is the angle formula?
length 1 that's all
That's a good point
anyway i get that p >= -1/2 by considering the variance of X+Y+Z
i'm not sure how to do better
Did you ask gtp by any chance?
Because it gave me a bs argument for -1/2
Geometrically I am now thinking p > = 0 might be a better option
no?
i mean
var(X+Y+Z) = var(X) + var(Y) + var(Z) + 2cov(X, Y) + 2cov(X, Z) + 2cov(Y, Z) = 3 + 6p
but variance >= 0
so 6p + 3 >= 0, so p >= -1/2
Wow, that's cool
but geometrically it is obvious 3 vectors at the same angle to each other can exist
if very vaguely we consider the unit sphere
then it seems intuitive that the maximum angle between three points on the sphere would be 120
which would correspond to p = -1/2
so maybe actually every value from -1/2 to 1 is okay
so the proof is this + construction for all cases
i'm not sure how we can rigorously actually compare the random variables to vectors in R^n
ehm
I think I described that part
you just reduce to unit variance case
then you pick an orthongal 3 dimensional basis for the span of them and map over to R³
L2 random variables live already in Hilbert space.
Huge thank you @honest urchin and @glass dome for your help! 
For an explicit construction, you might want to consider a single random variable taking the values 0, 1 and 2 with equal probability and then finding 3 functions mapping 0 , 1 and 2 to some values for X, Y and Z.
Happy to help, this question was intruiging.

Need help
Is my proof for the intermediate value theorem correct?
It assumed a bit knowledge since I tried to write it on one page though
@dawn dagger help me 😭
i appreciate the effort and even colors wow, but like i have no idea
😭😭😭
is this U_i defined somewhere?
No space for the page so I just defined it briefly so it’s an over cover of [a,b]
Since I only really need to argue the bounded property of f on [a,b] such that its sign over the interval is preserved
i haven't read the whole thing but my general concern is that you seem to be relying on compactness (since you use the heine-borel theorem) and i don't see any use of connectedness. But the intermediate value theorem isn't necessarily true on a compact set that is not connected
of course [a,b] is both compact and connected, but you need to use the latter fact somehow
Is it to argue that if for two points in the closed set such that their distance smaller than delta then it’s covered by one open set
emma did you state the intermediate value theorem
Then the sign of the function is preserved since the limit point is bounded locally
Bcs I wanted to make it on one paper so very briefly as I assumed the negation of it, so the reversed of the assumption is the ivt
Since we have f(a)f(b)<0 so their signs must differ, however the local limit is bounded, since exist the delta neighborhood which forms an open cover for the closed interval which is the basic idea here
where was the contradiction
I must show that for two points with the property their distance is less than delta that they are covered in one open set of the family which will preserve the sign leading to contradiction
That f(a)f(b)<0 such that there isn’t any x_0 such that f(x_0)=0
I'm not following where you showed that led to a contradiction
Because their sign is preserved in this open sets
We have literally shown that f(a)f(b)=f(x)f(x_0)>0 which is absurd because that f(a)f(b)<0
right, give me a moment to think about it
normally the theorem's proven a little differently
Yes bcs I was proving these theorem interchangeably and I thought that ivt must be a part of completeness too so I did some research, and found the corollary and gave it a try
normally you can prove it by directly appealing to the completeness of R
why is f(a)f(b)=f(x)f(x_0)>0
Here are the others ones so I feel it must be provable using heine Borel theorem for ivt
Because of that [a,b] is compact so we have a finite subcovering that each of the x’ x’’ satisfies their distance is less than delta
By our corollary that the two points are in the one of the open set of the family
but what is delta, and how does it relate to how much f can vary on an interval with length less than delta?
It’s by the corollary..
I will type the fuller version of the last line
(a quick tip on terms, normally corollaries are quick to prove. The word you probably meant to put was lemma. I think that lemma is usually referred to as the lebesgue number lemma or something like that)
Since that for all x_k in the partitions such that the distance of x_k and x_{k+1} satisfies their distance less than delta’ and since their sign is preserved and our corollary that the two points are contained in one of the cover in U_I hence we derived the contradiction that f(a)f(b)=f(x)f(x_0)> 0 which is absurd hence the ivt is proven
Yes indeed Lebesgue number
How do you know f is bounded on that set
Limit of f at every point is bounded locally
That in the epsilon neighborhood the sign is preserved
ok i see
i don't see how boundedness of f helps, of course it's bounded on every subset of [a,b] because it's bounded on [a,b] itself
This is the most crucial argument of the proof alongside the corollary or lemma but since I am not a math student this doesn’t matter to me… that the sign is preserved thanks to that f is bounded locally in the epsilon neighborhood
you are just asserting things without any justification, how does local boundedness give you a contradiction?
Because that all of these delta neighborhood will give me an open cover
Of the entirety of the set
And each of the neighborhood the sign is preserved and all the points are contained of each of the neighborhoods
So the sign is preserved throughout the interval
observe that for example if instead of [a,b] we had a union of two compact intervals such as A = [-1, -1/2] U [1/2, 1] and we defined f(x) = x, then there's no point with f(x) = 0 even though f(-1) < 0 and f(1) > 0 and A is compact
so compactness alone isn't gonna prove this for you
But that’s a union, and the function isn’t continuous
it is continuous
Here I stated f is of class C0
Every x_k and x_k-1 is smaller than delta there’s no discontinuity
i can take A = [-1, -delta/10000], [delta/10000, 1]
since you haven't said what delta is
delta is the number produced by the lebesgue number lemma. It is the lebesgue number of the open covering. Edit: maybe I misinterpreted
I definitely said delta>0 be arbitrary somewhere I think but I forgot detail very often 😭😭
I will have to fix it a bit 😭😭😭
Or maybe it’s just wrong
this isn't what the lebesgue number lemma says though
it says that if two points are separated by less than delta then there's some open set in the cover that contains both
you can use connectedness
yea in fact you must use connectedness i believe
because the IVT is not necessarily true on non-connected sets
How about I plug the boundary point in the partition will it imply the connectedness?
basically you can show that the continuous image of a connected set is connected, and that if we had f(a)<0<f(b) with no c where f(c)=0, we'd have a separation of the image of [a,b]
and btw, the IVT holds if the domain is connected, even if it's not compact
so i don't think open covers are really relevant to this
Then I think I made it seemingly too easy 😭
But I am quite certain since one of my friend mentions that all the property of completeness implies one another
the usual proof is actually quite simple, suppose there's some point with f(x) > 0 and another with f(x) < 0, but that there's no point with f(x) = 0. Then consider the two sets A = f^-1(-infty,0) and B = f^-1(0,\infty)
A and B are both open since f is continuous
and they're both nonempty since there are points with f>0 and points with f<0
and the domain of f is A U B since there's no point with f(x) = 0
thus the domain of f is not connected
Does ivt holds on disconnected set?!
what we're showing here is that if f changes sign but "skips" zero as a value, then its domain must be disconnected
so the contrapositive is, if the domain is connected, then f can't skip values
But what I wanted to prove is simple
That if f is continuous then it attains all values
well it attains all values between f(a) and f(b) yes
That’s it… and I have never learned connected and implication of ivt😭😭
the above argument works if you replace 0 with any value between f(a) and f(b)
Yes I think I was proving a simpler statement that a continuous function with connected images must attain 0 if f(a)f(b)<0
Again I am not a math student and am quite dumb😭
You’re right if this disconnectedness is in play then it’s probably not savable anymore
I was proving a much simpler version I think 😭😭
if you're not familiar with connectedness it's ok, just use the equivalent statement: we have shown that the domain D of f is the disjoint union of two nonempty sets which are both open relative to D
and the key fact you need is that this can't happen with an interval in R
which btw is a nontrivial fact, it takes a bit of work to prove
what's the context here, are you asked to prove the IVT as part of your coursework? and if so, what machinery do you have available?
I enrolled a comb of real analysis with Ross s analysis and folland analysis in a row in next year’s spring and am so nervous since the book of folland is so hard and I have no courage to prepare it and have limit YouTube channels teaching those concepts
And I feel so nervous I don’t know I could prepare in relatively thorough manner to be fully prepared
folland's "real analysis"? or "advanced calculus"? two different books at different levels, real analysis is much harder
So I am actively proving different things to make knowledge reserve
Follands modern applications of real analysis and another real analysis using Ross book two course I enrolled in a row starting the spring next year 2026
so basically I don’t have much experience of analysis and am panicking for a while now
which ross book? "elementary analysis"? there's a big big gap between that and folland
Yes
gap in sophistication that is
Very hug
not necessarily in content
Very very big
do you know the book "understanding analysis" by abbott?
i think it would be very useful for you right now
I finished all exercises of Ross and some on Abbott and now find rudins a bit easier but still
I have been panicking since I saw the content of that folland’s book
oh good, if you have abbott you should check this section:
Yes I was proving this version though, but I didn’t know that the connectedness comes into play here…
yea fundamentally connectedness is going to be involved for any version of the IVT that i am aware of
for example it's false if you consider intervals of the form [a,b] in the space of rational numbers (as opposed to real numbers)
True, I must be missing a lot of stuff since I was not revising every detail of it I believe…
Now I am even more panicking
well you still have a while, not until next year?
that's a good amount of time to prepare
True… I shall study again and again.. and my current study is quite easy.. i will revise the book of Abbott again and alongside some exercise of rudins maybe this is better
yea that would be very helpful
And I rely quite heavily on certain argument type, so sometimes it’s not very flexible..
another book that i recommend to help prepare for folland (the measure theory/lebesgue integration part) would be axler's "Measure, Integration & Real Analysis"
I will definitely buy it, since I am quite kinda shy person and I definitely don’t want to fail my promise to fail this comb…
I literally have many many analysis books alongside many calculus books, doing puzzles but maybe I forgot to read the theorem in depth which is probably a result of panic
In some degree
I just hope I can do this…
And yes I will order that book
you are doing really great, your understanding is exceeding exponentially
That follands’ book is a monster I didn’t even have the courage to prepare for it 😭
folland is a fairly hard read even by the standards of analysis books
but i assume you'll have an instructor?
No I am not even in the department of mathematics, i enrolled the courses of next years fully as my option.. which led to problems like lack of resources and introductory course was still fine many videos are available on YouTube and I would say I can even pass the exam of the course using Ross s book (I have studied by myself for five months already)
But follands, it’s too absurdly complicated and I always felt my foundation isn’t sophisticated enough
i mean next year when you take the course, that will have an instructor right?
Probably going to be more anxious since no more down to earth video available anymore..
You should try Principa Mathematica. Really vital for math majors
their job is to make this stuff accessible to some degree
Yes probably, alongside the lectures I will have some discussions sessions
Check our organic chemistry tutor
yea i don't know of any good video lectures at the level of folland, unfortunately
That I could’ve studied this analysis independently is primarily a result of these YouTube videos…
Anyways thanks for clarifying that concepts to me or I would even think it’s correct 😭😭😭 I must work harder and thankfully my study is like basically nothing to do
sometimes people organize reading groups on this server, there was a folland one recently in fact, but it was fairly fast paced and i'm not sure it would have been all that useful for you
but keep an eye out, maybe there will be another
I have multivariable exam on Monday and right now binge watching professors videos on YouTube. The only problem is they are monetized. Can't use add blocks in mobile app
Thanks so much you helped me so much…. I will go and grab some dinner!! And please have a wonderful day !! Thanks so much again 🥰🥰🥰

Please help
I know that there are 12 squares with two vertices in the set
but the question says "two or more vertices"
so idk what to do with that
at least two corners meet
corners = vertices
if you take any two vertices from among ABCD
and try to construct a square
you'll end up with either one or two possibilities
are you sure about that number 12? are all those squares actually distinct?
yeah there are 4 choose 2 ways to choose two points from the set
and then you multiply by two to count every option
wait why
select two points
and try to construct a square
you don't have many options
again, are you sure that the squares are distinct for each combination of two points? draw them on paper and see
if you take two adjacent ones
you can only either construct the square itself
or a mirror image of it
so with adjacent corners
we have 5 squares
now take diagonal corner pairs into account
for both pairs you have two options
yeah, but try to let the helpee think through the problem instead of just doing it for them :p
i got 9 squares
Si I skipped to the conclusion :D
yoppa
yeah, thats for when you pick combination of 2 points, now if you are forced to use 3 or 4 of the points, what do you end up with?
if you have 4 points, you can only make one square
and is it a new one compared to the 9 we came up with already?
no
and with 3 points?
1 square too
and same one for any combination of 3 you pick, the original square formed by the 4 points, so again nothing new
so final total is?
9
ya so you pretty much had the right idea from the start but just had to check for the fact you were counting the central square multiple times

is aops wrong or smth
what's aops, the website?
isnt that alcumus
the challenge homework thing
o
9 seems right to me, @viral dagger ?
try 12 in case whoever wrote the problem double countered the central square...
or 5
but you pretty much know those are wrong
doesn't work
yeah that worked

okay i know that integral of sec(x)tan(x)= sec(x) +C but i dont know what to do with the -1
it just makes the integral negative

can someone tell me how to solve this using synthetic division
is it ok for the x to be a negative
yes
so when i do synthetic division how do i plug in
just not the value of x for which the denom goes 0
or should i do long division? idk
would be better for you to write -f(x) = ..., and give the minus back to right side after you're done simplifying
$-f(x) = \frac{x^2-5x+6}{x+1}$

I got 12 but the thing said I was wrong
Can someone please help
Here was my work on how I got 12:
First, I know there are 4! or 24 total arrangements of the numbers
and I also know that if you switch the two middle numbers, the sum will remain constant
while if you switch any other numbers, there would be a new, unique sum
so there are 3!*2 or 12 middle numbers that end up with the same sum
and then I just subtracted 24-12 to get 12 unique final sums
but I think I am missing some, but idk what they are
please help

Just wondering if it’s valid to write out the computations like this (with the divide symbol) cause the last computation, you can’t do 54/81=0 r54…
How do I say it’s not like exact division?
So to not interpret as 54/81=0.666666
Or reduce to fraction
Maybe I’m thinking too much but here I’m just assuming the grader will know it’s division w remainder
you can always write it as 54=0*81+54
but it should be fine to just write 54/81=0 R 54 etc
I want to note that your life could be easier if you replaced some of those numbers with the negatives
eg -7 instead of 74, -10 instead of 71
that, or you could wrap your expression with a [ . ] to show gif
so something like [27/8] becomes 3, and you can write R = 3
can you show me how to do it that way?
However, I'd advise against such method of computation ._.
what do you mean by that
instead of computing 74*71, compute (-7)(-10) and then take the remainder mod 81
Notice 18*21 = 27*14 So your equation in a sense is 27k = 81m + r and so 27 divides your "r", rewriting r = 27n, will make your life much easier as you're only left to check k = 3m + n or k (mod 3) = n
where are you getting -7 and -10
how does this work tho
you cant reduce the remainder to a negative?
sure
wait you can do that?
yes
@obtuse totem Has your question been resolved?
i dont rlly see how it makes it easier
I still have to do a bunch of multiplying and dividing..
oh wait i shouldve just kept 70 as is
easy multiplication w 0
what about this question
is it faster to multiply the powers out?
whats the fastest method
i was thinking i multiply 7(7) first and reduce that
or I can match 5 and 7
so i have a bunch of r=35(mod31)s
Like this
if ur fast enough with numbers, it doesnt really matter
Yes, what you've written essentially reduces as easily as: 7^3 5^5 3^4 = (7*5)^3 (25) * 27 * 3 = (4)^3 (-6)(-4)(3) = (64)(24*3) = 2*10 = 20
@obtuse totem Has your question been resolved?
sht
maybe i should learn abacus
is it worth it
now😭
multiplying takes too long
@obtuse totem Has your question been resolved?
@obtuse totem Has your question been resolved?
Is there a faster method
This takes so long to do
I’m using fast modular exponential method
@runic hamlet you can reduce remainder to negative, but if you have a = b(modm), then a has to be within 0 and m-1 tho, right?
<@&286206848099549185>
I might have an idea
ok
anti-algebraist 𝔸dωn𝓲²s
If I recall it relates to the Chinese remainder theorem
anti-algebraist 𝔸dωn𝓲²s
ok
yea, cause rn im concerned about a bigger problem
am I trippin or did I just learn the wrong computing method
@dawn dagger https://youtu.be/8r4-5k-o1QE?si=xMoqvWs-5rWbKyzy
Compute 240^262 mod 14 using the fast modular exponentiation method.
this doesnt work for 3^5(mod7)?
am I trippin??
im so confused
how so?
You forgot a crucial step
In the 3rd column your binary digit is 1 not 0 so it requires two steps
Also the value in the 2nd column is incorrect.
3² mod 7 = 2
Then 2nd columns has 2
Now you need two steps since the binary is 1 in column 3
Take the 2 and square it mod 7 so 2² mod 7 = 4 and now next step take 4 and multiply it by the base mod 7.
4 * 3 mod 7 = 12 mod 7 = 5
The last column contains the solution which is indeed 5.
@obtuse totem
Euler's totient function
Oh wait, I think CRT would be more suitable
$37^{31} \equiv 1^{31} = 1 \pmod{4}$
timuko
hello! sorry i’m here
lmaooo went to get mcdonald’s😂
lmao it’s ok junk food for one day
thank you all!
I’ll look at this again later
gonna sleep now
gn!
Also, 37³¹ = 1 (mod 4). Now the only number in {0, ..., 99} with these characteristics is 13, so 37³¹ = 13 (mod 100)```
||algebraist gave the same sol. it seems, I'll still leave it tho cuz mine's not very technical||

Hello. how can i know what the question is for the definite integral? I try setting (5/3) y = sqrt(1+y^2) but then i only get 1 solution 0.75 (-0.75 is extraneous) so how to find the 2 values to take for indefinite integral?
$\frac{5y}{3} = \sqrt{1 + y^2}$
Arya
is a quadratic. solve
Yea i solved but u only get 1 solution
,w 5y/3 = sqrt{1+y^2}
oh
So how to find the lower number for definite integral
the other bound is y = 0
But that one doesnt work for the equation
? y = 0 bound isn't working?
why is this?
for equation 5y/3 = sqrt(1+y^2) 0 doesnt work i mean
no no
why'd you solve for that, there's not even any intersection
you're solving area bounded by 3 different curves
the bounds need not be the intersections of the two
(or rather, 2 lines and a curve)
So the definite integral will be from 0 to 0.75?
yes
sqrt(1+y^2) - 5/3y
the curve is more positive
,w integral from 0 to 0.75 of sqrt(1+y^2) - 5/3y dy

I'm stuck
x1 + x2 isn't the same thing as 2x and that's where his fuckup is
Oh
Shit
ie
x1 + x2 means scoring one point per heads on each of the two fair coins
while 2x means tossing only one fair coin but scoring two points if it shows heads
and these two are not the same
and his variance calculation should be Var(x1) + Var(x2) + Var(y)
I got 0.13
But isn't the coin supposed to be more biased to heads
No wait nvm
13 is prime
@fallow scarab
tell him what he's got now is a quadratic equation in p
it will have two roots, one above 0.5 and one below -- he wants to go for the bigger one

How do I solve this
I would do u= cos^-1 (2x) and it would work but its 3x unfortunately
@boreal parrot Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
hmmmmmm
🟥🔴🔺
I find du/dx of that ?
do I have to explain how substitution works?
I can only suggest to go along with u = arccos 3x
I know how it works
Okay lemme do it rq
3/sqrt (1-9x²)
$= -\int e^u \frac{\sin u}{\sqrt{9-4\cos^2 u}} \dd u$
Arya
Yes but I haven't reached that step yet
try IBP on this or something ... I gtg. If you reach a wall, hit the helpers
Huh, u = arccos 3x => 3x = cos(u)
@boreal parrotwhat you doing !
plug x in terms of u
X²=cos²u/9 ?
btw when integrating it is not compulsory to progress in only one direction
yes indeed
after reaching the last step I wrote, try differentiating $e^u sin^{-1} \left(\frac{2\cos u}{3}\right)$
Arya
you'll notice that you'll get something + 3*your integrand
I'm not able to get the denominator as u
The numerator is clear from the sqrt of 1-cos²u
In denominator I have
good. now differentiate the term I gave you
in a seperate line,
neatly
Am asking for help coz I can't do these things by myself 🥲
Could u like workout it out and show me the steps and I follow through coz that's kind of easier for me
$\left[e^u \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{2\cos u}{3}\right)\right]' = e^u \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{2\cos u}{3}\right) - \frac{2e^u \sin u}{3\sqrt{1 - \frac{4\cos^2 u}{9}}}$
Arya
if you look with your eyes open, the right-most part of the equation is your integral
so if you could expand arcsin(2cosu/3) in terms of u, you'd be mostly done [altho Idk if that'd be easy]
I would've surely looked for the easiest way out but I'm at the deadline of my own hw :p
OK but how did u come up with differentiating this coz I couldn't see it in the terms earlier
It's okay
oh btw, it looks like this is not a calculable integral
so you were probably given this as a definite integral or a prank ._>

My linear algebra is a bit rusty, so excuse me if this is obvious. I'm reading this answer on the polar decomposition of a real matrix. I'm a tiny bit confused by the sentence where the author says M^tM being positive definite and hence has the unique positive semi-definite square root P=sqrt(M^tM). Isn't it more precise to say that P is also positive definite instead of positive semi-definite?
yes

What have you done so far
What do you need acceleration for
since is a uniformly accelerated motion
we dont?
well
they are the same place
at some time
Yeah
So their position on the line is the same
And how do you get position from velocity?
integration?
Yes
I dont know
So how would you formulate the question mathematically
wait wait wait
is better if we use kinematic equations
idk if intwgration is necessary
and maybe we are using a hammer to kill a wasp
You can do, I haven’t used suvat in a long time so it didn’t come to mind
Yeah in the UK they are known as SUVAT equations

problem is which one I use
reason and motive
hmm
A: vi = -2 m/s
A : vf = 0 m/s
A : t = 3s
B : vi = 4m/s
B : vf = 0m/s
B : t = 12s
aA: (0-(-2))/3 = 2/3 m/s^2
aB: (0-4)/12 = -1/3 m/s^2
Where is vf = 0 coming from
from the graph
How so
hello.
for A, v1 is -2m/s when t = 0s
for A, v2 is 0m/s when t = 3s
That’s initial velocity
edited, still wrong?
And you’re saying v2 is final velocity?
in the 3sec interval, ye
0s to 3s
But how do you know they meet at t=3s?
they don't,we are calculating acceleration
since the graph is linear, acceleration is constant
Ooh ok right
I havent used suvat yet
So you agree we can’t use the equations that have final vel in them
also, we need second eq in suvat because we don't have vf of A
Yeah, we’re on the same page now
so now what?
You get the u and a for both A and B, then you will have to solve simultaneously since t is also unknown
Or set them equal to each other, solve for t, then find position at that t
uA = -2m/s
uB = 4m/s
exactly
nice bro
s = ut + (1/2)(at^2)
A: s = (-2)t + (1/2)(2/3 . t^2)
B: s = 4t + (1/2)(-1/3 . t^2)
(-2)t + (1/2)(2/3 . t^2) = 4t + (1/2)(-1/3 . t^2)
-4t + (2/3)t^2 = 8t -(1/3)t^2
-12t + 2t^2 = 24t -t^2
3t^2 -36t = 0
t(3t -36) = 0
t1 = 0s
3t = 36
t2 = 12s
So they meet again after 12s
,calc 12 * 12
Result:
144
A: s = (-2)(12) + (1/2)(2/3 . 144)
A: s = -24 + (2/6 . 144)
,calc -24 + (2/6 * 144)
Result:
24
they meet at 0m and after 24meters
wdym
base x height x 1/2
,calc 1/2 * 4 * 12
Result:
24
broo how does that work
the integral is the area under the curve
The area is base * height
Which is seconds * (metres/seconds)
The seconds cancel giving you metres
Yeah, which is why I initially suggested equating the integrals
interesting
we can do it with definite integrals
is just too complicated for me tho
bloody hell mate
Nice one weon
ty for the helppp

i do not know how to solve htis
i know only the equation of an eclipse
This is not a question about ellipses per se
This is a question on how well you are able to read and interpret a diagram.
It's asking you to find the value a
Using the diagram
Where is "a" on the diagram?
this
Yes.
Then on the bottom you have a bunch of things, are those adding to make 2a or multiplying?
there is no multiplying in the answer choices
True
wait dont tell me that the questions is just this silly?
i do 2a = aall the values down?
So can you write out an equation that begins with "2a ="
Yeah, ecpc
can i ask for help in something else
i guess this is more math than physics, I chose B
!1q
It is suggested that you limit yourself to one question per help channel, opening a new one once your original question is answered and your original channel has been closed. This is to make your channel easier to follow for potential helpers and can bring attention to the fact that your question has changed.
So you have:
0.2 E1 = E2
yes
Where E1 is the kinetic energy of the small mass
yes
.2(1/2m x v^2)=(1/2M x v^2)
i mean by x , multiply
This is not quite correct
why
Because M is the bigger Rock so M has more kinetic energy
yes
In other words you have 0.2 small = large
but what is wrong in the equation
But really it's 0.2 large = small
but D doesnt make sense , how is the the big mass is 0.2 of small mass
that is what am thinking about
so the question is wrong?
This problem actually has a lot of problems going on
This is the wrong M for instance
this is their explanation
I think they just got everything mixed up
but it doesnt make sense to say big stone is 0.2 of small stone
You're correct. Just a broken problem
do you know physics? may i ask a physics problem
I do, and go ahead
newtons law
ok so i said Fy net = ma
so F tension - F weight = ma
50 - 10(4) = 4a
10 = 4a
a = 2.5
non of the answer choices give me that
i do not understand why this did the pythegorean theorem

there is no applied force
why
Ok so
