it doesn't
but in your torque equation you use x
yes
Wouldn't I use the y component and not the x component?
BuilderDolphin
(x components)
BuilderDolphin
BuilderDolphin
rght
the y component force equation isn't really necessary to consider
you can rearrange the x component equation though
$\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{\sin{\phi}}{\sin{\theta}}$
BuilderDolphin
keep that equation on the side
now for torques
torque is defined as perpendicular force times r (dist from pivot)
for T_1 r is just x
for T_2, r is L - x
(the remaining length)
okay, I'm following
BuilderDolphin
okay
but you can also rearrange this
$\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\frac{\cos(\phi)(L-x)}{\cos(\theta)x}$
BuilderDolphin
you have 2 expressions equal to $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ now
BuilderDolphin
therefore $\frac{\sin{\phi}}{\sin{\theta}}=\frac{\cos(\phi)(L-x)}{\cos(\theta)x}$
wait wrong one
BuilderDolphin
Let's hope so, I shouldn't be back next semester if I can't
I really appreciate your help, I'm going to favorite this channel and go back to this when I do it

could just ask what problem you have first?
and perhaps translate the whole thing 
what?
just helping solve it or are there any specifics
and show your work if you have any 
why the sully WTF.
um... ignore it 
wdym??
like do you require help solving the whole thing or are you stuck in a specific part?
please make that clear for the helpers

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.

@tidal turret Has your question been resolved?
Banana Steeler
what is the formula for distance from point to a plane
how do you find a point on a plane
oh wait nevermind
the point Q is im pretty sure the projection onto the normal vector of the plane
how did you get that
I AM UNSURE
😭
the first step is just finding the point to plane distance from P to plane Pi
this is kinda how it would like like
kindaaaaaaaaaa

can someone explain whats happening here
the gauss-jordan elimination method
in step 1, we take the first row, and divide everything in it by 2
in the second step, we take the second row and add -3 times the first row to it
then we take the first row and subtrac the second row
and lastly, we multiply the second row by 2
the strategy is like this
when we want to find an RREF, we're looking to have 1s in our columns in a staircase pattern
so our operations will have this in mind
let me draw something
yes the identity matrix
not necessarily the identity matrix, thats only if the matrix is square
say we have this matrix
what would it look like if its not a square matrix
if we want our columns to form the identity matrix, we gotta turn these into 0s
and this into a 1
the non pivot columns will have all zeros after it passes the row of the previous pivot entry
then turn the second column's last row into a 0, followed by scaling the second row into a 1
and then our last column final row is already a 1 in this case, but we could scale it if it wasn't
this gets us our staircase of 1s
so the row operations we perform aren't exactly out of thin air
they're done with this goal in mind
but dont oyu have to work row by row??
yes
you do all this one step at a time
first elimnate the 5 by turning it into a 0
then the 3
then scale the first col so the first element is a 1
and then do this for the 2nd col, and so on
after that, you can get rid of all the stuff above the staircase too
but you cant just eliminate the 5 like, choosing what operations to use is the weird part for me because it just feels like trial and error
1st row for example, i could subtract 1 from everything
or i could multiply everything by 1/2
well, any row operation is legal
but you want to use row operations that are useful
subtracting 1 makes the first entry a 1 which we need
that's not a valid row operation
row operations only let you manipulate the rows you already have
multiplication or addition/subtraction of other rows only
the three row operations are
a) swapping two rows
b) scaling a row by a nonzero constant
c) adding a constant multiple of a row to another
let's go back to this example
if you read up on gauss-jordan elimination there actually is a consistent set of steps that you are given to follow. you don't have to follow those steps exactly but you can if there's nothing else better to do
your immediate first goal is to make the diagonal entry a 1, so a sensible row operation to perform is to divide the first row by 1/2
it's the simplest one we can do
yeah
then the next goal is to eliminate everything under the first diagonal entry
make it all a 0
i did look up the gauss jordan elimination steps and you'd swap the 2nd row with 1st for this right?
^ i like to call that "cleaning out" the column
that is one method, yes
does this make sense to you? @median ridge
yes
right, so the idea here is as follows
we just turned the first diagonal entry into a 1
so we can just use it to clear out all the entries below it, by subtracting the entry*row 1
in this case, the thing under the 1 is a 3, so we can subtract 3 * row 1 to get rid of it
i feel like the example given in class makes more sense and its more easy, it might be bc i already know how to do it for that one, could we perhaps use a different example please?
let me find one...
sorry
$\begin{pmatrix}
4 & -3 & 1 & -8 \
-2 & 1 & -3 & -4 \
1 & -1 & 2 & 2
\end{pmatrix}$
higher!
sorry, I don't remember how to make augmented matrices in LaTeX 
pretend there's a bar between columns 3 and 4
@median ridge
yes
we wanna get a 1 in the first diagonal, so what can we do? 
$$
\left[
\begin{array}{ccc|c}
4 & -3 & 1 & -8 \
-2 & 1 & -3 & -3 \
1 & -1 & 2 & 2
\end{array}
\right]$$
suds

its negative 💀
if we do it in one step, we could do x0.25
or
-3 R3
which will also make -3 -> 0
mhm, the second option sounds nicer 
another option is to swap rows 1 and 3
any of these is valid
so just choose the one you like the most
im gonna go with -3 r3 because it makes the second column into a 0 too
lol
yes, go ahead and do the operation 
im on my laptop so im gonna have to write out the matrices lol
I'll do it then
$$\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & -5 \
-2 & 1 & -3 \
1 & -1 & 2
\end{bmatrix}$$
suds
oh uh, missing the augmented part
okay sure
$$
\left[
\begin{array}{ccc|c}
1 & 0 & -5 & -14 \
-2 & 1 & -3 & -3 \
1 & -1 & 2 & 2
\end{array}
\right]$$
$$ \left[
\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -5 & -8 \
-2 & 1 & -3 & -3 \
1 & -1 & 2 & 2 \end{array} \right]$$
yes, the entire row has to change 
the vertical bar is a social construct
okay
im just writing this out on overleaf sorry
ok now
we want to clear the column
so
we could do R2 + 2R3?
yes, we could do that
also I'm really really sorry, but I actually need to go to bed soon 
thats fine dw about it
I'll ask if anybody can take over this
ill just work it through here outloud and i can probably get it on my own
ah, okay
which would be 0, -1, 1, 1
if anyone comes across it then they can help out
if i get stuck
once you get that staircase of 1s, you can clear out everything above the 1s by using them (more or less the same thing as clearing things below using the 1s)
and after that process, you'll get your RREF
good luck, and have a wonderful day/night 
thank you!!!

u meant this?
yes
what you dont undertand?
i think they exclude AM'
and it becomes (sin BAM' * sin ACM') / (sin ABM' * sin CAM')
but i dont know how they transform sin ACM' into sin ABD
oh wait
just check angles on pic
you cant do that
and? does 1/2 = 3/4?
this find similar angles
use properties of tangents
the angles are not equal
but the ratio is
uhhhh its too hard

I think there is a problem
Their problem is given that two angles are equal, prove M is midpoint of BC

you have that $(n+2)I_{n+2} \leq \sqrt 2\frac{n+2}{2n+3}$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
so $nI_n \leq \sqrt 2 \frac{n}{2n-1}$ for n sufficiently large
rafilou is not not born in 2003
and at the same time $n\sqrt 2 \leq (2n+3)nI_n$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
so $nI_n \geq \sqrt 2 \frac{n}{2n+3}$
rafilou is not not born in 2003
oh
$\sqrt 2 \frac{n}{2n+3} \leq nI_n \leq \sqrt 2 \frac{n}{2n-1}$

!xy
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
try finding it in the form of x=f(y)
once i chose the domain, i did that, but it returned a positive and negative answer and I had to choose. how do i know which is the corresponding inverse for my chosen function domain?
i chose the domain x > 0
so would it be the positive or negative root
@tribal wharf Has your question been resolved?
@tribal wharf Has your question been resolved?
@tribal wharf Has your question been resolved?
your initial domain of f(x) would be the range of f(y) {inverse} and range of f(x) would be the domain of f(y) ,
so maybe try checking if the domain of the new function matches the range of f(x)

Hello great math fellows, need some help(hint) regarding a simple algebra question.
Assume G is an abelian group with order number n, and a_1,a_2,. . . a_n are members of G. Let x = a_1 a_2 . . . a_n, then prove the following statement
If G has only one member b such that b^2 = e, then x = b
So can I tell that since b^2=e, then we can define H=<b>, so |H|=2, and according to the Lagrange theorem, |H| divides |G|, so the order of G is an even 2k number.
So what now? Did I actually start from a proper point?
@thorny folio Has your question been resolved?
I think i have an idea, since you figured out it has an even order n = 2k, then consider x^n = b^n
I came with the following result:
So since |H| = 2, then H is a normal subgroup of G, so for any g in G we have gH = Hg.
Now G has 2k members, one of them is b (the generator of H, and another one is identity. and for the rest, we have 2k-2 members.
Now since for each element g, its inverse is also existed in G, and also G is abelian, then multiplying all 2k-2 together results e, hence b^2 =e, and for any g, the eg=g. So for a_1 a_2 . . . a_n one of them is b, and one is e, so let say they are a_1, and a_2, then a_3 a_4 ... a_n results e, and finally a_1 a_2 e = a_1 where b=a_1, so that's it?
well my approach is using a_1^n ... a_n^n = (a_1 ... a_n)^n = e but i will look at yours
I'll dig into it as well. Thank you for your time and consideration. I think my own solution sounds kind of logical too, but not sure if it's always true.
Thank you, really appreciate your help.
Math bless us all
I don't understand the "then multiplying all 2k-2 together results e"
this how i did it
||b^2 = e
b^(2k) = e
b^n = e
b^n=a_1^n ... a_n^n = (a_1 ... a_n)^n
b = a_1 ... a_n =: x
b = x||
like in the G, one element is identity, and one is the b, like a_1, and also let a_2=e for instance. So if G has 2k members, then by having a subset of G as K=G\{e,b}, then K has 2k-2 members.
Now multiplying all members in K, so since every element in K which will result e.
Now multiplying the result with e, and b which give b at the end.
ah i see
Great, I think both solutions must work. Nice solution by you as well. Thanks.
nice thanks, seems i am not that rusty 
Thank you for your time and consideration. worth a lot to me, much appreciated.
Math bless us all 🍻 🤘🤓

My every part is correct except it is -5/2 < x < - 4/3
And not 9
Why not 9
Isnt it supposed to be smallest 1st and largest in the end
are u suppoesed to solve both equation?
Yes
I am
write out the interval where the first expression is < 0
How
Oh -5/2 < x < 5/2
Like this
1st one
yes
you have
-5/2 < x < 5/2
-4/3 < x < 9
when are both true

I genuinely do not know where to begin with both questions? someone help me out
Do you have access to your calculator on this question
yess
Right, cause this is Q2.
Ok, so how do you think we can express the region S
Like visually how does it seem like we could go about finding this
its both Q1 and Q2/
usually id do f(x) - g(x) but they didnt give the function g(x), just the area underneath it which is bounded by both axises
Well yes, we don't have g(x), so we can't directly calculate int f(x)-g(x)
But what's another way to describe the area R they've given us?
wait so is R like the integral of g(x)?
Right, exactly
Well R isn't a function
Here, try to write this out properly
What is R equal to
integral of g(x)?
Well specifically it's $\int_0^3 g(x)dx$
Buzzing Hornet
Ok, so what's the thing we're trying to find?
And how can we express this?
int f(x) - g(x)?
Right, it's $\int_0^3 (f(x)-g(x))dx$
Buzzing Hornet
Now what's a slight modification to this we can make
oh wait so its like [int f(x) - R] basically then?
OHHH 😭
the integral of f(x) on the bounds of 0 and 3?
really appreciate it, i just need to know part b of this question
Recall that for part a, we basically said "S looks like what we get when we take the area under f and take out R"
Does it seem like we could try something similar for the solid of revolution?
wait so like [f(x) - (-2)]^2 - [g(x) - sqrt(2)]^2 or something?
I'm not sure where the -2 and sqrt2 are coming from
yea its the second part that im struggling with, i dont how to account y=-3 when were squaring it (i thought it was a -2 not -3 my bad)
Well ok notice that rotating S around y=-3 is the same as rotating [everything between f and y=-3 and taking out the stuff below S]
So try to draw a picture and see what that region looks like
so like we get something that looks like a shape that requires us to use the washer method?
Yeah, basically
yea i get getting the green part of this question, i just dont know how to do the red part of this question
I think it would really help to draw a picture here
like this?
Yeah precisely
Well I think it's -3, not -2
But you've got the idea
Now what does it seem like r(x) is based on this picture
ohhh [g(x) - (-2)]^2?
I'm not sure why we're using 2 instead of 3 every time, but yes
Now what do we need to do to calculate this?
we use the other graph where y= [g(x)]^2?
Exactly
And once you realize that it’s just a bunch of calculator work
wait how do i formulate it tho since in the formula [g(x) - (-3)]^2 , the square is outside the equation whereas were given [g(x)]^2?
i feel like im struggling with the algebra aspect of this question
Well try to simplify (g(x)+3)^2
OHHH
g(x)^2 + 9?
wait i reallt appreciate this, i was stumped on this algebra part of this question 🙏🙏🙏
Sometimes the algebra is the hardest part of calc
You might want to check that
Yeah notoriously (x+y)^2 is not the same as x^2+y^2
mb so its [g(x)^2 + 6g(x) + 9] = r?
=r^2 but yeah
and that [f(x) - (-3)]^2 - [r^2] basically?
Yeah
rlly appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Can someone explain how to do this my teacher said you need to "steal" because the dv column requires u-substitution
what work have you done so far
I tried to use integration by parts but it doesnt seem to work
u sub doesnt work either
hmmm
I think when your teacher said "steal" he prob meant that you had to take part of the x and bring it to the dv term cause it requires u-sub
so like instead of making u = x^5 and dv = sinx^3 dx, try to have dv "steal" part of the x from u to make the u-sub in dv work
Consider:
x⁵ = x³x²
u = x³

What a wonderful world !
$\pdv{f}{v} = (0,2v,u)$
What a wonderful world !
We thus want $(x_0,y_0,z_0) + \lambda( \pdv{f}{u} \cross \pdv{f}{v}) \Bigg \vert_{(1,1)}$
What a wonderful world !
so $(1,1,1)+ \lambda( -2v^2,2u^2,4uv) \Bigg \vert_{(1,1)}$
What a wonderful world !
What a wonderful world !
is that right
This feels very sus
this is the equation of a line
not a plane
nah, I messed up
it's (1,1,1) + span( (2u,0,v) , (0,2v,u)
which is $(1,1,1) + span {( 2,0,1), (0,2,1)}$
What a wonderful world !

@quasi mauve Has your question been resolved?

@quasi mauve could you try to state the question more clearly?
the numbẻ 6
take cases
like first take only half of the grid
and take one block cuz the other one must follow this block
and solve
and then for 2nd case take that the blocks lie in 2nd and 3rd row such that they themselves are symmetrical accross 3rd line
@digital pebble the goal is find the probability
exatly
so
when u take the cases
there are cases when it wont allign
umm ok
like in case 1
u have 10 ways to choose 2 adjacent blocks
that means there are 10 x 9 ways of things going wrong (WE HAVENT CONSIDERED CASE 2 YET, WHICH CAN MERGE WITH CASE 1)
aight
so
in case 2
there are 4 ways
to pick a 2x1 block so that each block lies in either side
so there are 3+2+1=6 cases possible
so total legit cases of symmetry is 16
now we want to find total scam cases
in case 1 we already got 90
we want too work with case 2
ok
i think i am getting 12 cases foor case 2
so total cases is 102+16=118
is answer 9/59?
i think am missing smthing
wait i think i missed some cases
nvm
can u check answer?
why 9x10 ? This one i makes me confused
look
there are 10 ways to pick a 1x2 or 2x1 block in a 4x2 grid
now
the same thing can be replicated the other side
there is 1 way the other side is replicated
and 9 ways we choose the wrong combination
like if we have a set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
there are 10 ways to get a set with 2 elements such that both elements are the same number
but 90 ways to get one with a different number

Not sure how i'd begin considering the contour isn't simple
break it into the sum of two simple contours 
or find its winding number around each pole
is inf/10 the same as inf?
and then do the residue thing

@verbal pumice Has your question been resolved?
that's fine?
yeah why not
i'm not aware of this
how would I break it? just like normal?
two circles around the poles each?
break it up at the self intersection point
yes
following the orientation as depicted
Okay but like
as in you don't know what a winding number is?
I can "jump"?
Oh I guess it only needs to be piece wise continuous
Right thanks

im a little confused for D because
it asks for the AMOUNT of unprocessed gravel right
so wouldn't we find where the first derivative (which were given g(t)) changes sign
or like equals zero
but from the answer it seems like we have to find where the second derivative equals zero??
or am i misundurstanding this
wait hold on it got it lol

you can find R(x)'s maximum value right

Hello, this is a more general question, but my friend has been telling me about complex numbers and I do not understand them. I found two courses, this one which covers Complex Numbers: https://www.coursera.org/learn/basicmathematics#modules and this one which doesn't seem to, but I'm wondering if I should do this one first? https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algebra-elementary-to-advanced
i mean do you want and/or need to learn about complex numbers
Yes I want to, I don't know if I need to but it can't hurt
Ok I will do the one that covers Complex Numbers and if it's too hard, start the Elementary to Advanced Algebra one
Khan Academy is very good but I kind of like Coursera's assignment structure it motivates me
if you have any more specific questions related to complex numbers you can and should ask them here

$ABC$ is a triangle with $AB=AC$, let $\ell$ be the tangent of the circumcircle at $C$, $D$ is on the circumcircle and $BD//\ell$, if $E$ is the intersection of $AC$ and $BD$
a. prove that $ABE\cong ACD$
skissue.in.a.teacup
b. if $AB=6$ and $BC=4$ find $AE$
skissue.in.a.teacup
what have you tried?
ok i did a, using that AE=AD
im assuming E is the intersection of AC and BD
oh yea
skissue.in.a.teacup
AB=AC (s)
angle ABD=ACD (a)
(let M be a point on the tangent below C and N be above C)
angle AEB=ACM=180-ACN=180-ABC=ADC (a)
by ASA, they are congruent
BE=BC also cause EBC is simmilar to DAE
and for part b what have you tried so far?
wait a minute i didnt realize ABC is simmilar to BCE
that should give you a pretty straight forward way to finding AE

I use method in lecture note prove this is true
like this
but for this
I follow the method which is used in lecture note and find that 1/(Sqrt[2]+1)+Sum[-1/(Sqrt[2k-1]-1)+1/(Sqrt[2k]+1),{k,2,n}]=Sum[((-1)^k)/(Sqrt[k]+(-1)^k),{k,2,2n}]
can I say this diverges?
@austere kraken Has your question been resolved?
@austere kraken Has your question been resolved?
use the limit comparison test with this sum and the sum of $\frac{(-1)^k}{\sqrt{k}}$
south
I dont see how can I use limit comparison test
(Doesn’t limit comparison need your terms to be nonnegative
)
Beat me to it 
oh right
well for absolute convergence, taking the absolute value for both, you can now use the limit comparison test
bro this doesnt converge absolutely
cool, I know
then you should have just said you wanted to check conditional convergence
<@&286206848099549185>
is it possible to say this is ture and say the right hand also diverges?
@austere kraken Has your question been resolved?
my idea is form my lecture note
If S2n and S2n+1 both diverges, then Sn diverges?
But S2k converges
From what i can see
@austere kraken Has your question been resolved?
nah i thought i had something but i messed up the direction of this implication

wait what?
how come it converges
Have you use absolute convergence?
no way that converge absolutely
it doesnt
Sum of 1/(sqrtk + 1)? Considering absolute values of (-1)^k?
sum 1/sqrt(k) diverges
But 10111 said that the RHS convergence.
???????when
What converges?
Why wouldn't the rhs converge ?
If I know the RHS converges why I need to ask questions here?
Could pairing up terms help?.
Its a different series, but something for starters
Make two separate sums for even and odd k.
Then subtract the sum of the even k from the odd k.
Therefore there is no alternation.
multiplies the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator
you should have 2 sums
it tends to inf, I cant break them up, I dont see how that can help me
doesnt that diverge
That's the point.
now i'm a bit confused myself
looks like i did a bad comparison then
let $a_k=\frac{(-1)^k}{\sqrt{k}+(-1)^k}$and multiply the numerator and denominator by $\\sqrt{k}-(-1)^k$
tm
Both sum to infinity it's just at they're subtracted from each other.
after developing you’ll end up with a convergent series + a divergent series
right if you can find a formula for the partial sums, that could help
a formula for the even partials and one for the odd partials
which makes a divergent series
the series 1/n^2 converges so i compared 1/sqrt(n) with 1/n^2 , by my comparison it would hold that 1/sqrt(n) ?
oh im dumb 
i assumed they both diverged
u did 1/sqrt(n)=o(1/n^2) ?
hm
whats the limit of n^2/sqrt(n)
wait realllyy? 
i dont think so
yes
that will diverge
yes it doesn’t converges to 0
so 1/sqrt(n)≠o(1/n^2)
what can I do with this
Rather confusing , but alright , i guess my comparison just won't work then
use liebniz rule for the first one
and you should recognize a well-known series for the second
$a_n=o(b_n) \iff \frac{a_n}{b_n} \to 0$ no?
tm
It does.
I'm not sure whether I can do that, isnt that just treating them as some individual sum? would that fk any thing up?
yeah that’s that
to be more rigorous, k=2 to infinity should not be entered directly but rather as partial sums
but isnt that just rearranging the sum? I'm allowed to do that?
yes u can do that with partial sums
you can to form a contradiction
which is what u r doing here i think?
"if it converges, its impossible for .."
what’s ur method
this ?
Yes.
my lecture note didnt taught this any example?
It's part of Math Olympiad training.
u can but it’s a bit longer, as you’ll have to do several asymptotic developments
Define 'asymptotic developments'.
taylor expansions
To prove divergence?
yes
at the end you should end up with the series ~ harmonic series
to nearest coefficient
Tolerable.
it should be -3/4
Is it convergent?
no, with ur method the partial sum is equivalent to -3/4 * sum 1/n
which diverges
Did you solve that mentally?
I'm not sure would this work,because I need this two things both converge so that I can break then up
no i have a chalkboard at home lol
i get u. i vibe theres gotta be some way to justify
check the alternating series criterion for the first series
maybe with sandwitch?
and for the second you should recognize a divergent series
sum a < sum(a+b) < sum a + sum b
i think this should be a sufficient justification right? or similar
idk idk not sure at all rofl
otherwise i think tm was talking about partial sums
to justify
instead of working with the series, work with the partial sums
this works for +ve sum but now we have -ve things
it changes nothing, only the notation
so it come back to the things I asked
this
I mean when n->inf
