From alternating angles, you get that 30 + x = 75. x=45. From alternating axles again, we get that 45 + 55 =100. Therefore, the angle that is left is 80. From linear pair, n=100. From vertical angles, we get that n+m+30=180, since n = 100, then 100 + m + 30 = 180, m = 50. therefore, n=100 and m = 50
But m=50
@dim aurora
How about this
Can 55 and 75 alternate?
M+55=90
M=35
180-75=105
Yh
nope, in this 75 can only alternate in the bottom right side of the parallelogram
Js making sure it is the measure of just Z as well? The teacher put a ? On it and marked it wrong
It is
55 alternates to TQS, right?
Maybe u forgot to add °? Idk but Z= arccos 45/53
Yup
30 can also alternate at SRQ since they're both a parallel line intersection
it doesnt dear, 55 alternates the angle on just the left of th 75
TQS
55 = angle TQS
Yh, SRQ=30
TQR+75+55=180
TQR=180-130
TQR=50
How is JZ 28
TQR is alternate of m, thus m = 50
ABHH NO TQR is the alternate of 55
bro what are you trying to prove since so long 😭
and no TQS is the alternate of 55, not TQR
Parallel Z alternates
mhm, RTQ is alternate of TQS not TQR
I saw those lines | | and lokked at the RMV
JZ= RV
MV=PV
PV= Cos(36)×45
Then cos36×45 + 45 +RV= 180
OH I SAW IT DIFF AGAIN, my first take is TQR=m
And 30= SQR
Wait I might be wrong
JZ=ZP=RV right?
Guess so, but same applies to TQR and QTS
For JZ =RV you need VZ // RJ and JZ//RV or MJP=VZP =90
easy to remember, see if those 3 lines make a Z shape
like this:
thats alternate interior
hope it helps
Isn't JRZ=ZVP=RMV?
Is it ? When did they say
Yh it did,
RQT=QTS
TSR=QRS
RIGHT?
The lines shows congruency I think, so I assumed since ZV is 45
RV= JZ
I see
Ye
Assuming its a right triangle itd be 28
Which, arccos 45/53 is still right
We were trying to know if JMP is a right angle
I js want the full mark idk why he marked it wrong
Email your answer and ask why it was wrong
Maybe he didn't notice and marked it wrong
Some students got the full mark i dont see any other way of solving but ok
yes thats correct
I was at some point stuck at getting point slope because I was bugging with the signs
what
what point slope
The (10√5,0) and (0,10√5)
bruh
you didnt need allat
why does every high level mathematician like chucking things on cooridinate grids
DUDE IDK I HAD NO WAY
I think the only time I didn't use coords was when I solved for the radius
Remembered the pythag, then after that it's all coordinates
or u could subtract radius from the two square length to get mini triangle length
What I did is get 2 of the square and cut them, so 20 ²+10²=r²
yeah
for radius
and then with radius u can directly find each of the shaded areas
no chucking on coord grid
I TOTALLY forgot about that
I went in to solve the slope of the diagonal line
pebble
I did 2²+2² no?
Wait yea E
2²+2²= √8
To get the 1/2 of diagonal
√8÷2
2√2÷2
√2
Then 2²+√2²
Yeah
The right amswer is 108 and cos doesnt work cuz its not right angle triangle
Well that's nuts
Can someone tell me how to find the area of a trapezoid if I have the length of the shorter leg and the perimeter??
doesn't feel like there's sufficient info
How to solve it if it's iso or right angled
Mb, it will still won't
what does it mean by the shorter diagonal anyway?
Probably sides
What's the full statement
What’s the area of a trapezoid with a perimeter of 20 and a shorter diagonal of 6
(i think i currently do not have the paper with me anymore)
Yeah I don't think that's enough
diagonals are segments formed between non-consecutive vertices
Maybe there's some extra infos like
base2 is x as large or smth
Hello, is anyone here?
I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding rotations in 3D.
Can someone help me on that??
If you ask your question, someone might.
If you don't, you'll never find out.
ok
can i ask it
question:
basically, can a rotation in a tilted plane centered at the origin be represented as 2 or 3 planar rotations in the planes XY, YZ and XZ. Where, we rotate in a base plane by theta and then in the other 1 or 2 planes by alpha and beta which are tilt angles of the tilted plane in comparison to the X axis and the Z axis?
Plz ping if interested.
is it isoceles
maybe it was supposed to be a rhombus
yeah same
Is this where to talk about Graphing functions like sin and cos?
yea sure
or if it's more advanced, you can go to #precalculus
Nah it’s not advanced or really a question at all but I’m having difficulty finding period and frequency does anyone have any tips?
it doesn’t say
ok then don't assume anything
<@&268886789983436800> spammed across channels
what information do u have?
is it using a graph to write the equation of the function?
Using the equation
so what's the equation
I don’t have one on hand I’m just looking for a way to distinguish frequency and period using the equation
oh ok, well if you have an equation like $A\sin(B(x-C))+D,$ then the frequency would be $B,$ meaning that the period is $\frac{2\pi}{B}.$
OGMath_789
Ah ok thanks!
Uhm... Angles
oh
wow
yeah that
ohhhhhh okay i think ik how to solve it now
||show that for an incenter I of triangle ABC, /angle BIC = 90 + (/angle BAC)/2|| use cyclicity to finish
Yea I kinda thought all lengths = 2, then read the description again
sorry if my sketch is bad, how would i solve for x?
Just draw clearly
ahhh alr i got it now
thank you
??
would 4d geometry be a topic here also?
or would it be more akin to #algebraic-geometry topic unfitting here
3d rotations "without" fancy nongeometric stuffs? sure
ok so u know that rotations happen in a tilted plane
one that is tilted from one of the existing orthogonal planes(XY, YZ, XZ) by some angle right?
well, my idea was that we could represent this rotation in that tilted plane using rotations in 2 or 3 orthogonal planes by decomposing the tilted plane itself
ngl had a feeling if instead of using planes we should use the axis instead(?)
for example rotating with z axis:
get the x1,y1
change to r,θ1
rotate the θ1 until it becomes θ2
change back to x2,y2
and only applicable to a point
oh z coord still the same
yeah yeah
yeah that makses sense
but you need the radius of that point "on that plane"
you need to find that first and that is slow
radius from the axis though
cuz it take s 1 sqr root, 2 multiplies and 1 add
well yeah
i want smth faster
which is what i aimed to do with my method
do u want me to explain it?
ok so tilted planes
its tlted in one or 2 directions
i want u to think that a tilted plane is just a normal base plane like XY, but rotated by some angle alpha in the YZ plane and by some angle Beta in the XZ plane
so
we can represent any rotation on it, as a base rotation in XY and then account for the tilt by rotating it further (in order) in XZ and YZ
so that we account for the extra tilt
all in all here is the important thing - once we do that, all the angles match up, and the point in some sense has basically been rotated in that plane without us needing to project and reproject
u with me?
where
like what do u want me to elaborate on?/
ok
what i meant was that, when u rotate in a base plane right, u aren't accounting for the extra tilt that the point accumulates if it is rotated in a tilted plane
think of it like a book.
the tiltedplane, is what happens when u rotate it around you finger, so like a basketball, but u do it in one or 2 directions
if you move you hand over the original book, it wont be the actual position that u would get if you moved your hand on the tilted book.
so u move your finger on the base book first and then, you rotate it by the tilt angles, so u move it in line with how much the tilted book is off from the original base book
once u do that, u account for the extra tilt of the tilted book that u woulnt get if u just rotate on the book when u hadn't tilted it.
do u get it now?
i think it would be easier to see it with a demonstration maybe
it is
so u do understand it?
i don't quite have a video on me rn, but maybe i can search for one
so say, if a tilt angle with m_x=1/2 and m_y=1/3
whats m_x and m_y here
slopes
oh
bcos planes has "two" slopes right
or one if you consider the direction
ahh i guess
this one if in 2d
yeah
cos in this case we have an extra dimension, namely z
eh, we only need 2 ig, m_x=Δz/Δx and m_y=Δz/Δy
though technically you can calculate slope of x and y
yeah, i guess
you would get the ratios of x, y and z from 2
slopes
not to be condescending, but may i ask how slopes are related to rotations here, i mean if u want to represent points with slopes, then i can try my best
like if u want, i can try to explain rotations with how the slopes change
i'll use the slopes to determine z values of known x and y points i guess
i think it would be more intuitive for you
that's great but there is a slight issue
for (x,y) values of (-1,-1), (-1,0), (-1,1) ... determine z from the given slope
wait, are we still talking about 3d rotations
eh nevermind
or about planar ones
i think this is for planar right
like in the XY, YZ OR XZ planes seperately
eh it was kinda both though
cos the initial plan was to calculate 3d rotation using the tilted plane thiingy right
ok well, i gotta say smth
when we rotate in a tilted plane, x, y and z all change so you would kind of need a universal slope so liek maybe y/x/z or smth, But that does not work
so
..
instead, you might want to calculate the slope of the point on that tilted plane right
but the thing is, to do that, u would need to project the point on to that plane and then reproject back to our space
and u can definitely do that, but its a bit slow
now i wonder,
how would 8 points at $(\pm 1,\pm 1,\pm 1)$ if rotated to any directions you like, with your way
tsuitachi (tuitati)
as in, the process
the plane is tited - it is not aligned with our orthogonal axes or space, so you need to first move it so that is does align, then rotate using slopes and then move it back as to not distort the space
??
you mean u want me to explain my way
well i would be delighted to do so
yes
ok now that u get the idea of what tilted planes are (better than me cuz i am a nebie here)
we can move on to how u actually rotate
ok
so lets say we have a 2d point
with an angle of theta
and i rotate it by some angle alpha
what will be the new angle??
any guesses
origin
in 2d
2d
srry 2d
like a line from the origin like u would have in cartesian coordinates
like some point(x, y)
its angle is theta, you rotate it counterclockwise by alpha, whats the new angle?
?
yes
ok
now what did we learn
that when we rotate...
angles..
?
go on
uhh, we are just rotating points, by adding the current angle plus the rotation angle
dont think of a specific method, just think generally
when we rotate, what happens to the angle
yeah
that is true
yes
but just be general with it
think about a vector in space
when you rotate it counterclockwise
what happens to the existing angle theta
it adds right??
so theta + alpha = new_angle
quick question, have u learnt about multiplying 2Dvectors?
ok
what happens to the radii
no no
just liek normal 2d vector multiplication
using imaginary coordinates
so lije: (a+bi)*(a+bi)
i am specifically talkingabout imaginary multiplication
cuz that fits the purpose here
have u learnt about it?
like how to multiply 2 complex numbers.
?
ok
ping me when free
yay correction is good
-3
-3 and -1
Oh yh I see that now but how did you got to (2x+1)^2 +(3x+4)^2?
Probably √ both terms
It’s 4th root
Do u guys what’s this equation called
Is that exponential
I’m interested solving these
is there a shorthand for trigonometric identities
wdym by shorthand
like sin cos and tan have a shorthand soh cah toa but do identities also?
no
telling me i have to memorize it!?!
yes
do u have any tips to memorize them
i think you should understand why things are true instead of memorising formulas
thats the breakthrough for me in trig
thats lowk what i want to do but i can barely understand it
i just know soh cah toa (sin, opposite side, hypotenuse,cos, adjacent side, hypotenuse, tangent, opposite side, and adjacent side)
Angle-Side-Angle is a theorem and Side-Angle-Side is an axiom right?
yes, you just need the SAS and prove it by contradiction
How?
wdym by prove ASA
as in prove the theorem works
or apply the theorem to show that two triangles are congruent
What is the method of proving ASA through SAS?
angle sum and sine rule
proof of what
huh
huh
huh
umm
Of two parallel lines
I meant to say one parallel lines and has a line crossed between
And that formed transversal
what do you need help with
can you write the full thing you want to prove
Not good at describing
draw it out
usually one of the parallel line angle theorems is taken as an axiom
ok, so you want to prove that alternate angles on paralle lines are congruent
Yess that’s what my teacher said about bearing
usually you'd take corresponding angles as the axiom
since vertical translation doesn't change the angle
yeah any one of the parallel line angle theorems can be taken as an axiom to prove the others
yup dont rlly think u can prove it without using another parallel line angle theorem
Okay
first
nice q
C?
yes!
Can you provide a solution or hints for this?
hint1: ||sum of focal distances of a point on the ellipse is equal to length of major axis ||
another hint: ||the length of diagonals is same and equal to distance b/w foci ||
Yes, I think I got it now.
guys can someone tell me what are modulus and conjugates
My geometry is pretty rusty.
ok thanks
Guys how is Angle-Side-Angle proven?
Euclid (http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/elements/bookI/propI26.html) gives a somewhat involved indirect proof that ultimately rests on the SAS theorem. But he could also have used "superposition" directly, as he does in his proof of SAS.
See http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/elements/bookI/propI4.html for a discussion of the somewhat murky status of "superposition" as a proof technique.
liwkllgx
Does anyone know how this would be proven using Lean?
It would depend critically about which particular theory you're trying to prove it in, and not so much about Lean details.
I'm not familiar with any common development of basic geometry in Lean.
euclidean geometry?
I mean, a Lean library for that might very well exist, I'm just not personally familiar with it.
hey, I have a question I hope can be answered
Asking the actual question right away is more likely to get responses.

There's an AI called TeXit, and does it ues LaTeX?
it's an AI in the discord server
I've seen people use it and I've tried to use it myself and kinda failed?
and I'm just wondering if I can use LaTeX on it and it'll work
\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}
$\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}
$\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$
John zen
it is not an AI err
its just like a bot
which translates like latex code....
how do u use it
oh
I think I somewhat****** know how it works
with multiple asterisks
you just put your LaTeX code, and put it around doller signs
how do u use latex
how do i use it tho
so look
latex is like a formatting
let's say I wanna say phi is equal to the square root of five plus one over two
x^{2}+3x+5
you type what you want in desmos, copy that, paste it here, and then boom.
i did that
cus desmos uses latex to render too (i think)
$x^{2}+3x+5$
🌪️∑ Nova☃️
yay
oh
Like this: $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$
John zen
see?
so if you just don't use LaTeX or don't know how, just use desmos
because it works for some reason
$how\ do\ i\ solve\ \operatorname{for}\ \log s?$
🌪️∑ Nova☃️
and you can properly decypher what people are saying instead of trying to read the hyroglyphics
do you actually want help with logs or was this just testing
it's still hyroglyphics but somewhat easier to read
addition and subtraction of logs
Can you provide an example?
bro its so weird using forward slash
ik
also guys
not LaTeX focused question
but how tf is $\sin\left(18\right)=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$
So like if you have log(a)+log(b) this is equal to log(a*b) and vice versa
John zen
18 degrees?
*pi/10
oh, really?
... yes?
$$how\ do\ i\ graph\ \log s\ on\ a\ graph?\left(seriosus\ question\right)$
🌪️∑ Nova☃️
like the VA, domain, range etc
180/18=10
Well, the inside of a log cannot be 0
sorry
can i just use a graphing calculator
domain is dependent on what side of the vertical asymptote the log is on
u can if u have one
or just use desmos
ig desmos is a graphing calculator
so i would use sum and difference formulas in addition to like multi angle formula
$\sqrt{3x+5}=81^{\frac{1}{2}} (to solve do you just equal them? for radical equations)$
🌪️∑ Nova☃️
like 3x+5=81
number 1 is not in the squareroot 
ack excuse my handwriting
looks good btw if its written by mouse 
?
how the frick do i construct this
Draw 2 tangents AB,AC from A to the circle (O;R) [center O with radius R] (B,C are the intersections). Let BD be the diameter of circle (O). Let K be the projection(?) of C over BD, CK intersects AD at I.
i have no idea what projection means in this problem
how do i prove I is the midpoint of CK
Thales Theorem in triangle ABD with ratio IK/AD?
Hi can smn help w this it’s noncalc. Also angle CDA is 154
Then use assumptions if I is midpoint of CK
B?
The diagram drew it wrong n said this og:
If it is OBD it would make sense
The text might b wrong instead then
Holy shit why the printing says OBD = 26 (like what i guessed) and ABC is 26 there lol
Anyways OBD is isoceles triangle
Yea I think angle abc’s not 26
Then you can find BOD
Is it cz it touches the tip of the circle
Yup the sides are radii
If you find BOD you will quickly realise this angle and x also subtend same arc
Can you find x from here?
No
How do I get bod if I only k that abc=154 and obd=26
You see triangle BOD right
Ya
Ohh do I use Pythagoras
No...
Cz it touches the tip from the center
Look again, OB and OD are ??? Of the circle?
Radii
Then, OB and OD are?
😑
Oh.
Yet you still get it wrong :v
26
Then can you find BOD now?
Yes
Then read this message, that should give you hints
Bod=28degrees
My bro
180-52=28?
How did you get to this grade genuine question 😭
Right
Then is angle x and BOD subtending same arc?
What does that mean
Yeah no vc in this server anyways
You have not studied subtended angle theorem?
Yeah it’s alr idc
What does that mean like can u explain it
Idr the names of the stuff
It have many stuffs, if two angles covering same arc then it is equal
But for this case angle BOD is centre of circle so it is twice of x
Read pls
Ohh
I remember the arrow head
R they all the same type of thingy thing theory
Name
Yes
Have you found x
Then find y
116
Wait why is y not 116 degrees?
Ah nevermind
how about CI? you cant prove CI = IK like that or am i tripping
Isn't the opposite angle in a cyclic quadrilateral supplementary
I looked at x
ohh okay
IK/AB = KD/BD using talet
yes you are correct i mis looked and thought they refer to x
Then use similar triangle ratios in BCD
Which class question is this
I tried to solve this but
Angle 154°
No 180 there or no straight line for 180°
How she take out angle x and y 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I have a question is this correct To Prove that sec³θ/sec²θ-1 + csc³θ/csc²θ-1 = secθ×cscθ×[secθ+cscθ] ?
your math is fine, the notation is a bit of a mess
ex. why are you using implication arrows? equal signs are fine
idk they told us to write it
thanks, yh I know
Which one is easy to derive
The area for the equilateral triangle is wrong. It should be (sqrt3 * s^2)/4
Try to derive it
Do we use trig
No. It doesn’t require trig
Ok
Is it x:xsqrt(3):2x
Someone tryna help me prove the ns^2/4tan(pi/n) method
For area of a polygon
My teacher said she’ll only accept me using that method if I can prove it
split the polygon into isoceles triangles from the center
and split each of those triangles into 2 right triangles
then derive it from there
We use 1/2 bh
Is this right
I got till here
But like idk where to go after
Wait
Dont tell me
Lemme think for a bit
ok
use the properties of the 30 60 90 triangle
Pythagorean theorem
nw jv1n
Do you have any thoughts?
look
its isosceles not equilateral
How doni spoiler
5(45) > 180
i got ||x = 20||
do you see
Why is 7
Wait gimme a sec I’m doing smth
ok
What’s y for
one of the base angles in the isoceles triangle
you can make this y = 180 - 7x
then substitute it in for y
5x + 2(180-7x) = 180
5x + 360 - 14x = 180
-9x = -180
||x = 20||
Ok
I’m having trouble getting this problem started
apply cosine rule
continue
also in the previous question you've incorrectly written
sinBeta = 43.8
(assuming the calculation was correct)
after using inverse trig to get the angle, you'll no longer have the sin there, i.e just Beta = 43.8
I’m not sure what to do after I get 0.72
Just find gamma and I leave it like that?
Or do I use the inverse of sin beta and then find gamma
inverse trig to get your angle
and since Beta isn't opposite the longest side, you don't need to worry about ambiguous case
and then you can use angle and m to get gamma
ChatGPT is also getting different angles but I’m not sure if their trig answers are super accurate
don't trust chatgpt/ai with math
you have some rounding errors,
(and notation issue above)
other than that it's fine
Okayy tysm
one icosceles and a right triangle maybe
its hard right?
Looks like an "adventitious angles"-type problem; those are quite tricky.
You can fill in a lot of the angles by angle sums and isosceles triangles -- in fact every angle that doesn't include the line DE as one of the legs. But typically to get the last step of the way will require either some trig functions that miraculously work together to produce an integer for alpha, or a really inspired argument that depends on "accidental" facts such as 20° being exactly 1/18 of a circle, and putting 18 of these triangles together in a wheel or something like that.
Sure, if trig bashing is acceptable, then after deriving the easy angles you can put everything into a coordinate system, say, with B=(0,0) and C=(1,0), and calculate away. That's not even conceptually difficult. But (given that the teacher asked about this configuration in particular) it is pretty likely that alpha will end up as some multiple of 10° exactly, and the trigonometry will be useless for understanding why.
Hint: ||Let H be a point on AB such than CH=BC, then CHE is equilateral, the triangles DHC and DHE are isosceles. So, by angle chasing you find alpha=80.||
can you draw it?
i didnt get it
What exactly is unclear? ||Just draw CH first, such that CH=CB.||
and?
I've written the next step above: ||prove that the triangle CHE is equilateral.||
I'm not supposed to give ready made solutions here. If something is unclear just ask.
would that work
probably not, at least I don't see any proof of similarity for those triangles here
if the answer is 80 they should be similar
yep, they are similar. That's correct
can i prove it though?
Yes, I have shown a solution above. The similarity follows from it
If you still want a geometric solution to the problem, I recommend working through those hints above, as it’s one of the shortest approaches. You’re unlikely to find a significantly simpler or shorter geometric solution. That said, a trigonometric approach is quite straightforward here too. But I’d suggest first drawing a more accurate diagram where the angles are represented correctly. Your current diagram is a bit misleading, as the visual angles are far from accurate.
In the figure, what is the value of angle x? This problem is known as Langley's Adventitious Angles. It is also known as the hardest easy geometry problem because it can be solved by elementary methods but it is notoriously difficult to work out. Can you figure it out? The video presents a solution to this tricky geometry problem.
*At 5:04 I mi...
i have found the solution on youtube
was that what you were trying to explain?
also thanks
can you show the full original problem
yeah, that's essentially the same solution

Can anyone help me in trigonometry
Perhaps someone can, but only if you actually ask a question about something that stumps you.

I am in class 10th and this year trigonometry is started and I am doing them easily but these formulas like
sin theta +cos theta =1 ( this one is the simple
But the others like here you can see written in blue colours
They are going over my head
I am gonna sleep now
it just a derive of the original pythagorean identity
can someone tell me what this S means??
Area
of the circle?
the question should tell you
or look in the previous section for how the book uses S
Does anyone have any tips for unit 10 in geometry? Covering 10-1, 10-2, 10-4 and 10-5? I’m having trouble understanding 10-5…
post specific questions
we don't know what resource you're using or even have it
it’s mostly about Inscribed angles, Arc measurements, Arc lengths, Theta, “How to find arc __ using degrees” and stuff. I’ll send a couple images
I don’t have much with theta since my professor says I won’t need it for my final exam
theta is just a variable/symbol like x
did you make attempts, where did you get stuck
Yes I have attempted, I’ve messed up around how to find the relations to the measurements (as in the degrees and arcs, such as the first image up there) so I couldn’t really finish the rest of the problem. I mostly need help with figuring how the information given relates to the diagram and how to find the information needed from there.
do you know and/or have access to a list of circle theorems
yes, I have access to circle theorems.
it’s just that the way my professor explains it makes it difficult to understand.
do you know what angle the tangent makes with the radius?
I believe it’s a right angle
oh
so what would I apply for the rest? Because it won’t always be in these same conditions
would I just use the theorems to help move on?
yes, identify what theorems are applicable
set up your equation and solve
marking info on your diagram also helps
hey guys
im a 8th grader, 13 doing 10th grade math

i dont understand it
i could use some help please and thanks
I did that too!
Ok do yk what ce || ab means?
What’s the equation for the area of a triangle?
(l * w)/2
yea
So h doesn’t have to be an actual side, just how tall it is
All the triangles have ab in their name, so they all have the line ab
yup
Since ce || ab, that means that the distance between them is constant
yeathat makes sense
If you take ab to be the base, you know h is constant (since distance is constant)
oh ok so like the height of all the triangles r the same then right?
Don’t be bro
Nah ts took me a sec to think through
i was lowk so confused
Yep!
its just confusing cus of all the lines
Now idk what the keywords are lol
Yeah, what I do is I trace each triangle in my head and isolate it
cya
i also need help to understand circles too...
not any certain principle but circles in general
did yk that a circle is actually only the circumfrence
and it doesn't include the inside
Yeah
like bike tire is a circle but the stuff inside isn't
Well a bike tire is a hollow cylinder if you don’t wanna be technical, and if you do it’s a torus
😭
Ok bye fr fr I gotta get up early

bru
okay, thank you!
the representation is right ig
can somebody explain why cos(-theta)=cos theta it might be simple to some but i dont understand
$\cos(-x)=\cos(0-x)=\cos(0)\cos(x)+\sin(0)\sin(x)=1\cos(x)+0\sin(x)=\cos(x)$

Hi
Because a cosine wave starts at one. If you go right (positive) 1, or if you go left (negative) 1, you get the same value either way
-1.05... and 1.05... ?
What?
-1.05... and 1.05... ? isnt same
That’s an (x,y), where x is the angle
Y is the cosine of that angle
So negative theta is like going across the x axis right?
On the unit circle
And cosine is the x value on the unit circle
So the x value on the top and bottom of the x axis is the same
cosine is an even function 👍
"Why is my soup cold?"
"Because it was cooled 👍 "
👍🏻
that's a perfectly fine explanation i'm not sure what you mean
f(x) is even <=> f(x) is symmetric about the y axis <=> f(-x) = f(x)
It's equivanlent to: "x is x because x is x"
no it's not
"cos(x) fulfills the definition of an even function because cos(x) is even"
🙃
you can see from the graph of cos(x) that it is symmetric about the y-axis. thus it is even. thus cos(x) = cos(-x).
On the unit circle, the cos value is equal to the x value. Do you see why cos(θ) and cos(-θ) are equal?
This is a good explanation!
thx
but yeah if you look at the unit circle or just a graph of cosx you see that it exhibits symmetry in such a way that cos(x) = cos(-x)
Exactly. Just to add on for the person originally asking the question: if you change the input value of a function to its negative counterpart (x —> -x), you flip the function about the y-axis. An even function’s definition is ‘a function symmetrical about the y-axis’ soooo f(x) is equal to f(-x) in an even function (for example a cosinusoidal)
Does anybody know how to do these types of questions? 2 of this are vaguely similar and i dont really know how to get the answer. I got these wrong on my quiz. (were allowed to seek outside help for quizzes)
the 3rd one should be the intersecting secant tangent theorem
i believe
should C=38?
well it told me that was wrong
The angle C is half of (AD-BD)
You can find arc AD then calculate
so 49?
what is arc AD
correct
I think it is 11 +11 + 14 +14
I dont know if they say 2 and 3 implies on which part of the line
Because 2 tangents start from 1 point are equal
oh
thats the same thing tho
😦
whats the difference
they both equal 50
ok
The question 3 is similar to one question i used to help you i think
yeah
question 3 i got 72 cus 112+32 then divided that answer 144/2 gives me 72 but it says thats wrong
so im
confusedd
oh wait
i see now
i need to do that with the other two arcs
but how do i solve for the other two arcs
find sum of other 2 arcs
then divide all 2
yup
also this should be 125 right because 360-110 =250 then 250/2=125
Yes since the line is a tangient
okay
thats the one i really struggle with so i just wanted to be sure
thank you
No worries 
is it actually a tangent, because it looks like its passing inside the circle
What?
is the line a tngent?
Which line are you referring to?
so uhh
if i have 2 sides of a triangle with no 90 degree angle, a and b (7 and 10cm both) and i have the angle alpha (30°), why would i have 2 different numbers for beta? and why would 1 of them be "more correct than the other?
beta can be either 45.6 or 135.6 degrees for some reason, and apparently it has to be 135.6 degrees according to chatgpt (yeah i know, bad source but i cant figure out why it would even say beta can only be 135.6 degrees)
i already teated it out, both angles make a functioning triangle but why would chatgpt say 45.6 is wrong?
don't trust llm ai for math
there are two possible values due to properties of the sine function
ραμOmeganato5
here there would be two possible triangles
both are valid unless there's some other info
one isn't more correct than the other
chatgpt is just spouting bs here
aight thanks, i was studying this question and it popped in the exam (90 mins and 20 questions and it happened to be one of them :D)
probably not the best idea to start studying 10 mins before an exam
but it went well so it works for me
If an LLM bot says something about math that you don't know for sure, then there's a fair chance it's right. (The chance is better if it's at high-school or undergrad level, and especially if it's a general claim rather than something specific to a particular problem).
However, when the LLM bot says something that you have a halfway cogent reason to think is wrong, then it almost certainly is.
How would y’all do this? I mean, I’ve done a similar problem but the reciprocal trig is so confusing!! I liked using a triangle visualization but I DON’T know that inverse trig means when trying to draw triangles and whatnot
You have a sum of two angles. Since all the values 3/4 and 5/13 are nice, you know immediately all the trig functions for both of them. So, just use cos(a+b) formula.
Those are nice?? really?? 😭
my first approach was plugging them into the cos(a+b) thingy but it was a MESS
with all the ugly trig functions
yep, the Pythagorean theorem: 3^2+4^2=5^2 and 5^2+12^2=13^2
ok, you know at once that sin(a)=3/5 and cos(a)=4/5
and sin(b)=12/13 and cos(b)=5/13
how do i know that instantly?
ok, that Pythagorean stuff is just the same base identity: cos(a)^2+sin(b)^2=1
yaa i'm aware of dat awesome identity
it's another form of the Pythagorean theorem
It's easy to check that 3^2+4^2=5^2 (In fact everyone should already know that) and 5^2+12^2=13^2
yep yep that's all fine and easy
so if you have a right triangle with an angle whose tan(a)=3/4 then you immediately know that its sides have a ratio of 3:4:5, and sin(a)=3/5 and cos(a)=4/5
the fact that it's tan^-1 doesn't affect that at all?
so, cos(a+b)=cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b)=4/5 * 5/13-3/5 * 12/13
tan^-1 is just an angle. You don't need it. You need its cos and sine
i don't really understand why tan^-1(3/4) wouldn't be tan(4/3) then you could construct a triangle with those sides tho
tan^-1 is an inverse function. Just check what it is
say tan^-1(1/sqrt(3))=pi/6
:((
