worldly pine
#

i am thinking

lyric charm
#

new ratio of A to B in the vessel is 7:9, so 16 parts total and B is 9 of them

worldly pine
#

Not getting the right answer

#

something wrong from my side

worldly pine
lyric charm
#

i meant $\frac{5}{12} + x = \frac{7}{16}$ not $\frac{5}{12}x = \frac{7}{16}$

grand pondBOT
lyric charm
#

also no im not going to show you the solution

#

did you do step 1 from what i wrote? looks like you did not.

lyric charm
#

incomplete

#

the removed portion contains _____ liters of A and _____ liters of B

#

i think i might need to disappear soon

worldly pine
#

why

worldly pine
lyric charm
#

dont want to repeat every instruction 5 times for you to do it

worldly pine
lyric charm
#

and don't want to frustrate myself like this

worldly pine
#

okok..fine

#

take the rest

worldly pine
hushed mauve

It’s a physics question technically but all math. THE question is : Estimate how many years it takes Mars to orbit the sun

fair frigate
#

isnt this techainnly space based

lapis pawn
#

The only space thing is knowing the days of an orbit

#

The rest is math

#

And the days aren’t accurate in this question

#

If you presume 1.0 is 365 days how would you get Mars if you presume it is 687 days

#

I guess 687 divided by 365

hushed mauve
#

you are supposed to estimate

lapis pawn
#

Which is 1.88 two decimal places

fair frigate
#

yea i think 1.88 should work no?

hushed mauve
#

so you could put like 1.8, 1.9, even 2.0

#

it's an estimate. as long as you state your assumptions, should be good

fair frigate
#

since be based it off of earth years

hushed mauve
#

also, i see all the numbers being given to 1dp

#

maybe, just maybe, stick with that format

#

unless you have instructions otherwise

lapis pawn
#

Ok thank you just wanted to make sure

hushed mauve
#

aye, glad to help

hello

midnight plankBOT
left herald
gaunt nimbus
#

progress?

scarlet pond
#

what r u confused abt

left herald
#

sorry sorry

#

so

#

would i take the 8w^2, -4w, and +6 and divde all by root w

scarlet pond
#

thats one way to do it

left herald
#

how would you do it

scarlet pond
#

i would probably do it that way

left herald
#

or do you have a more simple way to do so

scarlet pond
#

that is probably the easiest way

left herald
#

i get confused with the powers

scarlet pond
#

or else u have to use quotient rule

left herald
#

so i get 8w^2 / root w and get stuck there

gaunt nimbus
#

split fraction -> power rule

scarlet pond
#

well do you understand how to split it into 3 fractions first?

gaunt nimbus
grand pondBOT
left herald
#

okay

#

yes i understnad that

gaunt nimbus
#

remember ur exponential rules pandahugg

left herald
#

like w^n − m?

gaunt nimbus
#

mhm

scarlet pond
#

Sorry my disocrd just died on my computer 💀

left herald
#

so for the first part would it be 8w^3/2?

scarlet pond
#

U can just cancel top bottom

left herald
#

if i did 8w^2 - the w^1/2

left herald
round parcel
scarlet pond
round parcel
#

(8w^{\frac32})

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

Yes

#

so then i get to the 6/w^1/2

#

would that just be 6^1/2?

round parcel
#

No, you have (\frac6{w^{\frac12}} = 6w^{-\frac12}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

You can use the power rule on that.

left herald
#

ah okay

#

so then for the -4w/w^1/2 would that be -4^1/2

round parcel
#

You basically subtract 1/2 from all the ws.

#

6 by itself is like (6w^0).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

Thats what i figured

round parcel
left herald
#

sorry its rotated

round parcel
#

,rccw

grand pondBOT
left herald
#

but is that the correct way to pu it

round parcel
#

Yes, but still a bit of missing stuff.

#

The line before the last should have +s.

#

(\frac{8w^2}{w^{\frac12}} + \frac{-4w}{w^{\frac12}} + \frac6{w^{\frac12}})

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

scarlet pond
#

Second sign is minus

round parcel
#

It's in the numerator.

scarlet pond
#

Ah

round parcel
#

You can also do the - instead of the + there.

left herald
#

wdym +s?

round parcel
#

Yours have no plusses between the terms.

left herald
scarlet pond
#

U r missing a sign before ur last fraction

round parcel
round parcel
left herald
#

oh oh yeah i just wrote that for myself

round parcel
#

Oh, OK.

left herald
#

ik what u mean though

#

but for the bottom line, is that correctly written>?

round parcel
#

Yes.

left herald
scarlet pond
#

No…

round parcel
#

Yes, you still need to differentiate.

scarlet pond
#

You haven’t differentiated

#

You just simplified

round parcel
#

Use the power rule on each term.

scarlet pond
#

Bro forgot the mission

left herald
#

I have trouble with that

#

LOL

round parcel
#

OK, so let's try (8w^{\frac32}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

The first thing to do is to multiply by the exponent.

#

What do you get when you multiply that by 3/2?

left herald
#

8*3/2?

round parcel
#

Yes.

left herald
#

12

round parcel
#

OK, then subtract one from the exponent.

#

What do you get from that?

left herald
#

1/2

round parcel
#

OK, so you have (12w^{\frac12}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

Yes

round parcel
#

What about (-4w^{\frac12})?

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

-2w^-1/2 ?

round parcel
#

Right.

#

OK, what about (6w^{-\frac12})?

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

-3w^-3/2 ?

round parcel
#

Right.

left herald
#

There we gooooo

round parcel
#

Now we have (12w^{\frac12} - 2w^{-\frac12} - 3w^{-\frac32}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

Perfect thank you for the help

round parcel
#

You're welcome.

left herald
#

I just have one more

#

slightly similar slightly different

#

well actually just a quick question

#

does the 3 root x on the top just simplify to 3x^1/2 ?

round parcel
#

Yes.

left herald
#

Okay thank you very much

round parcel
#

No problem.

left herald
#

I did the chain rule

#

I get x^1/2 (x-8)(1)

#

Im not sure im confused here

round parcel
#

Do you remember PEMDAS or BODMAS?

left herald
#

would i subtract one from the (x-8)

#

yes

round parcel
#

OK, let's say that x was 4.

#

If you wanted to do the calculations to find out what number it reduced to, what would the last operation you did be?

#

From the question, I mean.

left herald
#

the subtractioin?

round parcel
#

OK, so let's do it step by step.

#

(\sqrt{4}(4 - 8))

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

The first thing we do is parentheses.

#

So, we get (\sqrt{4} \cdot -4).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Then we do the square root.

#

So, we get (2 \cdot -4).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Then we do the multiplication.

#

So, we get -8.

#

Does that make sense?

left herald
#

I think so

#

so its just w^1/2 * 1

round parcel
#

Nope.

left herald
#

how

round parcel
#

The last operation is very important.

left herald
#

wdym

round parcel
#

The last thing we do there is the multiplication.

left herald
#

Yes

round parcel
#

So, this is a case where we do the product rule instead of the chain rule.

#

Chain rule is like when you square something as the last step or you take the square root or you do f(something).

#

The last step is some kind of function.

#

With one argument, I mean.

left herald
#

so are my f' and g' x^1/2 and 1?

round parcel
#

(\sqrt{x} = x^{\frac12} \to \frac12 x^{-\frac12}) for f'.

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

ohhhh

round parcel
#

(x - 8 \to 1 - 0 = 1) for g'.

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

i was just simplifying not taking the derivative

#

my bad

#

how deos this look

#

just simlpify after this?

round parcel
#

Almost.

#

Product rule has a plus in between the two parts.

left herald
#

ah yeah i got it mixed with quotient

#

just switched the last two signs, is that final?

round parcel
#

You can simplify it a bit.

left herald
#

By adding the first two terms?

round parcel
#

Yes, and you can also change back to roots.

left herald
#

Yes got it, thank you

round parcel
#

You're welcome.

left herald
#

last one i swear lol

round parcel
#

OK, so what's the last thing you do with PEMDAS?

left herald
#

addition

round parcel
#

That's the first thing you do.

left herald
#

LOL

#

it wouldnt be the exponents first?

#

wait wait

round parcel
#

Yes, that would be fine.

#

PEMDAS has Exponents early on.

left herald
#

Okay yeah i got the first t

#

How is addition not the last here

#

if theres no subtraction

round parcel
#

Because that's inside the square root.

#

So, you need to do t + 9 before the square root can be done.

#

Let's say that t = 7.

left herald
round parcel
#

And then the square root is inside the logarithm.

#

So, the square root isn't the last thing.

left herald
#

is it the log

round parcel
#

Well, if you get the log, you still need to multiply it by the (t^{\frac32}) you said to do first.

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

So, we get the power.

#

We get the logarithm.

#

And we multiply them.

#

Does that make sense?

left herald
round parcel
#

Yes.

left herald
#

I got the 3/2t^1/2

round parcel
#

OK, so the last thing we do is multiply.

#

So we want the product rule.

left herald
#

So in the future, if its two seperate terms multiplying id just use product rule

#

dumb question bc thats what aproduct is '

round parcel
#

If that's the last operation to calculate it if you know the variable values.

left herald
#

but like this question and the one above were the same with two terms

round parcel
#

Let's make it a bit easier to see.

#

(t^{\frac32}\log_2\sqrt{t + 9} \to \text{pow}(t)\log(\text{sqrt}(t + 9)))

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

We're doing it like f(something).

left herald
#

im confused

round parcel
#

Like you've seen f(x) and maybe f(2) or f(10) or whatever, right?

left herald
#

yes

round parcel
#

OK, so that's a way of writing that we're going to apply a function to a number inside the parentheses.

#

Like f(9) means to apply the function f to the number 9.

#

Does that make sense?

left herald
#

ok

#

like log(root t-9)

round parcel
#

Right.

left herald
#

ok

round parcel
#

First we take the square root of t + 9.

#

Then we take the logarithm of that.

#

Then we do the 3/2 power of t.

#

Then we have two numbers multiplied together.

left herald
#

then product rule?

round parcel
#

Right.

#

But the parentheses make it easy to see what's the last step.

#

You have to apply the functions to get rid of the parentheses.

#

So, sqrt can't be the last step because it's inside parentheses.

left herald
#

Yeah

round parcel
#

t + 9 can't be the last step for the same reason.

left herald
#

so root(t) and root9

round parcel
#

No, you have root(t + 9).

#

You have to do the addition before you can do the root.

left herald
#

how

round parcel
#

Remember that Parentheses are the first thing to do in PEMDAS.

left herald
#

what is root(t+9)

round parcel
#

Well, we're thinking about it as if we knew t.

#

What's the last step we'd do if we knew t.

#

Like if t = 7.

#

Then root(t + 9) = root(7 + 9) = root(16) = 4.

left herald
#

yeah

round parcel
#

So, log(sqrt(t + 9)) = log(sqrt(16)) = log(4) = 2.

#

That's how you have to do it at first.

left herald
#

howd u get the sqrt16

round parcel
#

t + 9 = 16 when t is 7.

left herald
#

but how do we konw t

round parcel
#

We're just picking a random number.

left herald
#

is that what you do to solve it?

left herald
round parcel
#

That's what you do to see the order of the steps you follow with PEMDAS.

#

You can't do sqrt(t + 9) with t left as a variable.

#

You can't say that's like 27.

#

So you pick a number for t.

left herald
#

Oh

round parcel
#

That lets you go through the PEMDAS steps.

left herald
#

it wont affect the answer later on?

round parcel
#

Right, it won't.

left herald
#

oh i was unaware

round parcel
#

When the functions get a bit confusing, figuring out the last step in PEMDAS is important in figuring out which rule to use.

left herald
#

So i have log2(root16)

#

which is just log2(4)

round parcel
#

Right, which is 2.

left herald
#

okay

#

so now i have log2 and t^3/2

#

right?

round parcel
#

So, we have [t^{\frac32} \cdot \log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})] [7^{\frac32} \cdot \log_2(\sqrt{7 + 9})] [18.52 \cdot \log_2(\sqrt{16})] [18.52 \cdot \log_2(4)] [18.52 \cdot 2]

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Yes, you're right.

#

Do you see how I used PEMDAS there?

left herald
#

I see

#

So thats the derivative?

round parcel
#

Nope, that just tells us the last step you take with PEMDAS.

left herald
#

Im confused with that

round parcel
#

It's multiplication, so we use the product rule.

left herald
#

okay

round parcel
#

That's the only information we get from it. What rule to use.

left herald
round parcel
#

No, at the last step where it's 18.52 * 2.

left herald
#

i use those for product rule?

round parcel
#

Nope, then you forget all the PEMDAS work.

#

The PEMDAS work tells us which rule to use.

#

Other than that, it's useless.

#

So, we did the PEMDAS work.

#

We know to use the product rule.

left herald
#

I think im getting confused with the pemdas

#

i understand what it does but it gets me mixed up with finding the derivative

round parcel
#

Right, it's sort of like you take out a separate piece of paper to do the PEMDAS, then you throw it away.

left herald
#

can you do it without it though?

round parcel
#

Well, you can learn to see what's done last in PEMDAS without having to do all that work.

#

It's a bit like solving equations.

#

Let's say you have (\frac{8x}{5} = 32).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Well, the last thing you do on the left side is divide by 5.

#

So, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

#

(8x = 160)

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

yes

round parcel
#

The last thing you do on the left side is multiply, so you divide by 8.

#

x = 20.

left herald
#

i gues since this is relatively new to me i dont pick it up as well as i would with that

round parcel
#

Have you done that figuring out the last step with equations before?

left herald
#

wdym

round parcel
#

Well, you saw that I did a few steps to solve the equation, right?

left herald
#

yes

#

the last one is dividing by 8

round parcel
#

And you saw that I figured out what the last step in calculating the left side was, right?

#

Like the last thing was initially dividing by 5.

#

Then the last thing was multiplying by 8.

#

Let's try this.

#

[\frac{16x}3 + 6 = 0]

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

do u mean divide by 8

round parcel
#

How would you solve this?

left herald
#

-6 both sides

#

times 3 both sides

#

/16

round parcel
#

Right.

left herald
#

x= blank

round parcel
#

That's the thing I'm talking about with the product rule and the chain rule.

#

Like when you figured out to subtract six from both sides, that's because you would add six last.

#

Like let's say x was 10.

left herald
#

OH

#

you would multiply with the 16 then divide by 3 THEN add 6

round parcel
#

Right, you add last.

left herald
#

so how does this refer back to the original

snow dawn
#

If anything is equals to 0, the most basic value of x would be 0. Amirite?

round parcel
#

OK, so you have (t^{\frac32} \log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

The last thing you do is to multiply (t^{\frac32}) by (\log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Does that make sense?

left herald
#

yes

round parcel
#

So, that means you use the product rule.

left herald
#

Okay

#

So is my g value log2(root(t-9))

round parcel
#

Yes, and (f) is (t^{\frac32}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

yes

round parcel
#

Oh, wait.

#

t + 9.

left herald
#

yes typo

#

g' is just 2

round parcel
#

No.

left herald
#

uh oh

round parcel
#

First, do f' because that's the easy part.

left herald
#

i alr did

#

3/2t^1/2

round parcel
#

Oh, OK.

#

OK, good.

#

Now, (g = \log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})). What's the last step in calculating that?

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

addition

round parcel
#

Nope.

left herald
#

parenthesis

round parcel
#

That's what you do first.

#

Like let's say you were solving for t.

#

(\log_2(\sqrt{t + 9}) = 2)

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

What would be your first step?

left herald
#

the log?

round parcel
#

Right, you'd exponentiate both sides.

#

[2^{\log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})} = 2^2]
[\sqrt{t + 9} = 4]

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

You can also tell because it's the function surrounding everything else.

left herald
round parcel
#

As an example.

left herald
#

ok

round parcel
#

Figuring out which differentiation rule to use is a lot like figuring out the next step in solving an equation.

#

So, we have log_2.

#

That's a function.

#

It takes one number into it.

#

So we use the chain rule.

#

Notice also that everything is inside the log here.

#

(\log_2(\sqrt{t + 9}))

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

When you see that, you use the chain rule.

#

It's a function with everything else inside of it.

left herald
#

Okay

#

so can i ask this

#

for this, is rootx not a function since the root doesnt extend through the parenthesis?

round parcel
#

It is a function, but it's easier to solve it using the power rule.

left herald
#

instead it's just two things being multiplied tg

#

oh

#

okay

round parcel
#

Wait, what are you asking? I think I misunderstood.

left herald
#

like these two look similar to me

round parcel
#

Oh, OK.

#

You don't use the chain rule for the (\sqrt{x}(x - 8)) because of what you said. Only part of everything is inside the square root.

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

Got it

round parcel
#

Let's say you were solving ((x^2 + 2x + 3)^2).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Everything is inside the squared parentheses.

#

So you can use the chain rule with that.

left herald
#

Yea

round parcel
#

OK, let's go back to (\log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

How would the chain rule go for this?

left herald
#

1 / (2(t+9)ln2)

round parcel
#

OK, so the chain rule has two parts.

#

They're multiplied together.

#

The first one leaves the stuff inside the log alone and differentiates just the log part.

left herald
#

Yes

round parcel
#

Like (\frac1{\sqrt{t + 9} \ln(2)}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

The other part is just the derivative of the stuff inside.

#

What's the derivative of (\sqrt{t + 9})?

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

left herald
#

1/2root(t+9)

round parcel
#

OK, so we have (\frac1{\sqrt{t + 9}\ln(2)} \cdot \frac1{2\sqrt{t + 9}}).

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

So you were right.

left herald
#

Yeah i just solved through

#

simplified

round parcel
#

OK, so now we can go back.

left herald
#

I got it

#

i figured out how it works out

round parcel
#

[f = t^{\frac32}] [f' = \frac32 t^{\frac12}] [g = \log_2(\sqrt{t + 9})] [g' = \frac1{2 \ln(2) (t + 9)}]

grand pondBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

round parcel
#

Oh, OK.

left herald
#

chain then product rule

round parcel
#

Yep, looks good.

left herald
#

Cool, thanks a lot for the help

Suppose I have some function $f:X\to Y$ and a closed set $E\subset X$. Is it true that if $x\notin E$, then $f(x)\notin \overline{f(E)}$?\

Attempt: Suppose $f(x)\in\overline{f(E)}$. Then it is either in $f(E)$, which it can't be because $x\notin E$, or it is an accumulation point of $f(E)$. If it is an accumulation point, then $f(E)\cap (U\setminus{f(x)})\neq\varnothing$. How do I continue from here?

grand pondBOT

#

I would start by considering a constant function xd

#

Your logic fails at "Then it is either in f(E), which it can't be because x is not in E"

#

As f^-1(f(E)) ≠ E

#

Maybe an injective continuous function would work

#

Or just injective function, idk haven't considered it yet

inland patio

#

Then f^-1(f(E)) = E as f is injective

inland patio
#

Ok, good. The case where f(x) is an accumulation point remains.

Actually just wondering

inland patio

Ok. I feel like in the case where f(x) is an accumulation point, one perhaps has to use that E is closed, not sure.

Does the integral of 1/x between -1 and 3 diverge or is it equal to ln(3)?
I thought that improper integrals of this type have value only if the integrals that make it (in this case, from -1 to 0- and from 0+ to 3) DO NOT diverge. But in this case they both diverge, but https://www.integral-calculator.com claimes it's equal to ln(3), although wolfram alpha does say that the integral diverges.
Is my understanding correct and I just found the limits of that website? Should I only trust wolfram alpha from now on?

carmine sigil
#

It diverges, but it has a Cauchy principle value which is probably equal to what you wrote.

#

In mathematics, the Cauchy principal value, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy, is a method for assigning values to certain improper integrals which would otherwise be undefined. In this method, a singularity on an integral interval is avoided by limiting the integral interval to the non singular domain.

fallen vault
#

Cauchy principle value doesn't mean that you can in this case divide the integral into the two I mentioned in order to find the value?

what have you tried

steep condor
#

lol

#

literally

#

tried adding

#

i considered two coordinates

#

on the circle

#

theta and phi

#

yeah thats what i tried

#

lol

runic hamlet
#

what did you get

steep condor
#

a vector with coordinates $$ (\cos{x} + \cos{y},\sin{x} + \sin{y} ) $$

#

L

#

anyways

#

yeah

#

something like that

#

idk what to do after that

runic hamlet
#

to be on the unit circle what equation would the new point have to satisfy

grand pondBOT
steep condor
#

it cannot be on the circle because we would not get the sum of their squares equal to 1

runic hamlet
#

why not

steep condor
#

we can actually nvm i got the sum of their squares as

#

4cos^2((x-y)/2)

#

when we equate that to 1

#

we can get some solutions for x and y

#

so answer to the problem

#

would be

#

YES

#

am i right ?

#

@runic hamlet

runic hamlet
#

yes

#

a different way to think about it is that you can imagine rotating the setup

#

so if two of those vectors exist, we can rotate one of them to be (1,0)

#

and then we can more explicitly solve for the other one

steep condor
#

oh

#

yes

#

it would make it much easier

any free family of cardinal $n$ in a vector space of dimension $n$ is a basis.

We use the incomplete basis theorem to eventually complete this free family with vectors. However, it has cardinal n, so if we add vectors to it, it won’t be a basis, which is excluded.

how can we directly deduce from this that this family is a basis of $E$?

grand pondBOT
lament knoll
#

like ok we can’t complete this family but why it’s automatically a basis

runic hamlet
#

we are assuming n is finite?

lament knoll
#

yes ofc

runic hamlet
#

well you were the one who wrote cardinal

#

just an unusual word choice

#

well anyway we need to show linearly independent and generating

#

linearly independent is given

#

if there was a vector not in the span, we could add it

#

but we cant

#

so its generating

#

As the tops degree Is larger than the bottoms, but which 2 terms would I divide?

grim vector
quaint shoal
grim vector
#

the slant asymptote

quaint shoal
grim vector
#

yeah so what is it ?

quaint shoal
#

some sort of linear line

quaint shoal
grim vector
#

ok but if you need it, do it

quaint shoal
grim vector
#

ah ok

#

tell me this ima explain you

#

ok so to find slant asymptote you need to calculate two limits

#
  • f(x)/x in +inf = some real m
#
  • f(x) - mx = some real p
quaint shoal
#

I haven’t done limits

grim vector
#

your slant asymptote is y = mx+p then

quaint shoal
#

the teacher said all u do is divide the equation out

grim vector
#

hmm

quaint shoal
#

I got this

#

which seems pretty easy, but then going back to my original equation, do I just divide the original equation or the simplified ones?

grim vector
quaint shoal
grim vector
#

oh ok

quaint shoal
#

and then a slant asymptote

#

instead of the HA

grim vector
#

ok but

#

if i tell you (x^4 + 1)/(x^2 -4)

#

there is a slant asymptote ?

quaint shoal
#

yes cuz top degree is larger

#

right?

grim vector
#

well no

#

i actually find wierd to do slant asymptote without limits

grim vector
quaint shoal
#

😭

#

same question

grim vector
#

see you've done limits

#

with limits yes its the way

grim vector
quaint shoal
#

that’s just the end behavior

#

written in limit notation

grim vector
#

also becareful when posting, especially to your name

quaint shoal
#

oppsss

#

I didn’t even realize

quaint shoal
#

3 is larger so it’s slant?

grim vector
grim vector
#

n > m isn't always slant

#

Slant asymptotes are caused by the numerator having a degree that is 1 greater than that of the denominator; they indicate where the graph will be when it's off to the sides.

#

so you should rather write m+1 = n

grim vector
quaint shoal
#

here’s what I did to find it

grim vector
#

polynomial division?

quaint shoal
#

Ik how to do that

#

But I just don’t know where the x^2 -2x +5 /x+4 comes about

I know that this limit agrees with the gamma function where it converges, but I would like to show that it converges for all complex z where Re(z) > -1

#

I tried converting the sum to an integral, splitting it in various ways, and it always seem to be a little bit out of reach of any methods I can toss at it, anyone have any ideas?

#

basically, as long as I can show it converges, I think I can show it is analytic, and then by Carlson's theorem it will match everywhere

I tried solving this by using the circle equation

#

(x-k)^2 + (y-h)^2 = r^2

#

(x-6)^2 + (y-h)^2 = 81

#

then i plugged in a point from the x-axis

#

but i dont get anything that resembles the answer choices

blissful pier
#

Instead, I'd suggest you observe that the distance from C to (3,0) and (15,0) will both be 9 units as those are both radii. Using this fact we have two unknowns (m,n) and two equations

visual tinsel
#

so use the distance formula twice?

#

using 9 as the distance, and the zeros as the points?

when i use 2 distance formulas, one of them equals to 9 = Square Root(81 + n^2) and the other one equals 9 = Square root(9 + n^2)

#

you can't these 2 equal to each other, since it just comes out to no solutions

#

Been 8 minutes, 7 more to go

#

Until i can ping

#

Sigh

cerulean solar
#

?

visual tinsel
#

nice

cerulean solar
#

I’m confused about what you did for your work

visual tinsel
#

there are 2 distance equations i can use, just as llama said

#

distance formula is d = Square root ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

#

i set distance to 9, and used the point (15,0) and (3,0)

visual tinsel
#

i got 2 equations with 2 unknowns, n and m

visual tinsel
#

i replaced m with 6

#

since 15 - 3 divided by 2 is 6

visual tinsel
steel crest
#

you replaced m with 6 in what?

visual tinsel
#

the distance formulas i used

cerulean solar
#

?

visual tinsel
#

I will send picture of my work

#

that should maybe make it more clear

#

one sec

#

i have a flip phone, so i have to use my webcam on my computer

#

does this make sense?

#

Where did the 6 come from

visual tinsel
#

its the middle of 3,0 and 15,0

#

since the middle of that has to be the mid point

#

which is where the center would lie

cerulean solar
#

I see

#

N measures the y

#

And there are two points that are equal distant of 9 units away from the two zero points

visual tinsel
#

LlamaMama (the guy previously) helped me realize this part

#

I have 2 minutes left to solve this problem ;-;

#

or else i exceed time, and that means i study more than i have to

#

but i wanna solve this really bad

#

not relevant to the problem

#

sorry

cerulean solar
#

You’re on the right track, you just gotta find the Ns now

visual tinsel
#

yeah, but when i set these 2 equations equal to each other

#

it doesnt work

#

since Square root (81 + n^2) can't be equal to Square root (9 + n^2)

cerulean solar
#

Oh wait, 6 is not the middle of 15 and 3

#

I was confused for a sec

visual tinsel
#

it isn't?

cerulean solar
#

That’s why you’re equations are wrong

visual tinsel
#

oh

#

it isnt

#

haha

#

its 15 + 3

#

not 15 - 3

#

so the m would be 9

#

not 6

cerulean solar
#

Yes

visual tinsel
#

...

#

I love making simple mistakes

#

thanks for the help sir

#

have a good day

#

yeah this is one of those questions where one trick makes it easy

#

notice to what variable you are differentiating with respect to :)

woeful turret
#

i thought that was a typo

#

cause theres no x anywhere

blissful pier
#

assuming it isn't a typo, and since it's not specified otherwise

#

theta is independent of x

#

so it's a constant

#

so this whole nasty expression for y... is also a constant wrt x pandahugg

woeful turret
#

oh...

#

and if it were dy/d theta?

blissful pier
twilit jetty
#

sorry but the answer is 1

#

simplify y to get 1

#

then d/dx of that is a constant is 0

blissful pier
#

right... the answer is 0, no?

woeful turret
#

yea answer is 0

twilit jetty
#

you can simplify y with algebra

blissful pier
#

oh wait I see what ur saying alright

#

yeah but still noticing no x in y(theta)

#

just gives 0 immediately

twilit jetty
#

that means youre assuming y is a constant regardless

#

then again

woeful turret
#

sorry guys the questions are usually more tricky than this

#

so i didnt notice

$\floor{2x} + \ceil{5x} = 2025$

midnight plankBOT

isuckatmath

neat silo
#

I did casework for x is an integer and x is not an integer

#

For x an integer
$2x + 5x = 2025$ no solutions

grand pondBOT
#

isuckatmath

neat silo
#

For $x$ non integrr
$\floor{2x} + \ceil{5x} = \floor{2x} + \floor{5x} + 1$

grand pondBOT
#

isuckatmath

neat silo
#

So its just $\floor{2x} + \floor{5x} = 2024$

grand pondBOT
#

isuckatmath

neat silo
#

How do i solve this?

feral sedge
#

floor(2x) and ceil(5x) are integers so you consider which are possible integers floor(2x) and ceil(5x) so their sum is 2025, and what range of x gives those

feral sedge
#

definitely not

neat silo
#

divide the interval?

feral sedge
#

there is no need to reframe the problem

neat silo
#

into like 7 parts and do casework

neat silo
#

idk how to

#

the range of x should be around 2025/7

feral sedge
#

in particular you note that floor(2x) and ceil(5x) when x = 2025/7 are 578 and 1447, which do sum to 2025

neat silo
#

yes

feral sedge
#

so a good thing to try is to find for which x you have floor(2x) = 578 and ceil(5x) = 1447

neat silo
#

oh

#

floor(2x) = 578 bound this

ceil(5x) = 1447, bound this

then find the intersection

#

?

feral sedge
#

yes essentially

neat silo
#

floor(2x) = 578 bound this

this becomes 578 <= 2x < 579

feral sedge
neat silo
feral sedge
#
  1. not an interval
  2. even if presented properly, this is wrong
  3. you are helping nobody by simply posting an answer
feral sedge
#

the point of this problem is you have to find the most restrictive bounds that give you a correct sum

Can someone help

midnight plankBOT
gaunt plume
#

What have you tried?

sleek marsh
#

I got 15km/h faster=1/3h faster

gaunt plume
#

Probably easier to keep it in minutes rather than hours but it doesn't really matter

#

What you have to do now is find some way of relating the time he takes to the distance he travels

gaunt plume
sleek marsh
#

Can you help

#

I’m completely stuck

gaunt plume
#

Sure okay

#

Have you learned about solving simultaneous equations?

finite wharf
#

is this a sys of equations problem?

#

doesnt seem like it

gaunt plume
#

It's how I'd solve it

#

imo it's the simplest way but there are always multipe ways of doing it

#

But basically, let D be the distance from his house to his office, and let T be the time it takes him at 60 km/h

#

Then you should be able to write down the info in the question as two simultaneous equations in terms of D and T

#

(which you can then solve)

finite wharf
#

@gaunt plume how well are you with alg 101?

gaunt plume
#

Is that a specific american thing? bc if so then idk what that is

#

I am a postgrad though so I know more than enough algebra to solve a question like this

midnight plankBOT
#

@sleek marsh Has your question been resolved?

finite wharf
#

but its resolved now
