idk ur time zone tho
Wow
So quickly do it
Because I have spanish homework
SPanish1?
Then hurry
It’s difficult for me okay lol
Spanish 1 is easy
It rly is
I have a 95
Es la clase de español 2
I have a 100 but its Spanish2
Lol
Y tengo 102%
Find the side lengths por favor
lol
Do it quick, so u can escape
Is ab sqrt 29
uh
I got sqrt 13
I did it in my head
no
Yeah sqrt(13)
Yep, I see what I did
Or AD
ye
yes
Yes
YES NEVER DOING THIS SHIT AGAIN
gj
@restive void You have exam
Thanks ily guys <3
Better expect that
@narrow sleet don’t remind me
Aquiver you still play gd or no?
Just try to practise
Haha I subscribe to you
I knew you back when we called with Cemplix
Oh
@keen aspen Subscribe?
On Youtube
Oh btw bloodlust got verified today
Cool
I did not lol
I’m trying so hard to remember you
Dw I’ll remember you today, you just helped me with three hours of math
Haha alright ill catch you around if you need anything
<3
HI
This should be really basic for you.
Ok
Lemme see
k
welp this is harder than I expected
welp
lets say
o my
lets say line segments are <--->
@glad falcon
reply when you can
what do you need help with?
is that the image of the problem?
yes
i don't think there's enough information from the image drawn
^
Just get the number for the side adjacent to x
Then it will be possible
Plus kang is right, u need more info
The problem is a congruent angle
the angle beside 2x° is a right angle
it looks like they intersect, and the go off in different angles
Yea
if they intersect, then continue straight on
oh they are diferrent lines though
If u drew them better, then it's obvious
then you can use angle properties of the intersecting lines
lemme redraw?
Yes
what's that supposed to represent?
Do u not have other angle Measures?
cause like
Omg, I see it
?
Plus if there was another angle, u could do vertical angles
the right one?
then solve for x
now you have enough information
It's simple, it's just that u really need to see it
that marked angle is 90 right?
yep
which means?
they add up to 180 right?
x + 2x + 90 = 180
so all three measurements are 60°?
no
you just need to solve that equation for x
and you can then determine each measurement
yes
collect like terms
3x + 90 = 180
subtract 90 from both sides
3x = 90
divide both sides by 3
x = 30
x + 2x
It should be really basic for you then?
idk
honestly, I'm still having a hard time.
geometry is a weak point for me still
I mean, like I said earlier
this is like for 7th graders
A little advanced I guess.
i sometimes miss the obvious solution
and circle around
going a long unnecessarily hard solution
wow
i think this one
but still the same answer
optimal?
ok
I don't think I'll be able to finish this assignment
lol
it took me an hour just to solve 1
well, should still try i guess
see what you can learn from it
and it should get easier in the future
ok
do we know the angle in between?
it doesn't say anything
All I know is that this assignment is about Congruent lines.
do you have an image of the task?
uhm
I just obtained my phone
I guess I can take a pic
My handwriting on the other hand
is really bad
kek
yes please, of the task
uh sure. give me a minute
cool thanks
I'm sorry, my phone is all out. Amma try charging
it's ok
yeah
unless we assume that angle to be 90 degrees
then there isn't enough information
if it was 90 degrees
then it's another angle on a straight line question
x + 3x + 90 = 180
the same from before I assume
yep
yeah
what do you mean by that btw
?
I mean where do I subtract?
from both sides
this eliminates the 90 on the left side
and the 180 on the right becomes 90
22.5
which is fine
yeah I'm getting it
degrees, can go into minutes and seconds if necessary
though i just generally leave exact
thanks
np
why didn't we used transposition btw
what are the values?
5x, 4x and x
and they all lie on the same line right?
yes
combine like terms
yep
should be 10x
1x + 4x + 5x
sorry
10x = 180?
yep
each side is 18
I'm starting to think, 180 is not the total measurement
I lack information
e-e
yes
yep
nice
nice
with your help ofc
I do hope my answers are correct
if not, I guess I can tell that tomorrow
yeah
I mean can I talk to you more about this
if I can clarify the answers?
I really need more knowledge
I'm good with basic statistics though
ok
help?
How far have you got? Have you drawn the triangle? Have you applied cosine law?
Anyone wanting to help me
E=mc vagina
Question ?
Oh man.
Oh my
Let me think about how I want to approach that. There's a really helpful theorem.
Has to do with the circumcenter.
^
Law of cosines?
Nah that wouldn't work.
Unless there's some way to find one of the angles
Within a triangle with x as a vertex, that is
i try to use it but idk how
Alright. I have my ideas together. Do you know how to find the circumcenter of a triangle, Nam?
Perpendicular bisectors!
Yes!
oh!
Since the point we're dealing with is equidistant from all of the verticies, we're dealing with the circumcenter, which we can find by locating the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of every side.
is there anyway of solving it using law of cosines
cuz my teacher is so strict
:((
Is that what your teacher is expecting?
Draw in all of the right triangles that are used in the construction of the circumcenter first.
Before we go nuts doing trig everywhere, let's just get everything we know about the triangles involved together.
How interesting.
Alright, this one is also not too bad.
Think about what it's telling you.
You have all of your angles, so you know which sides are bigger than which sides, and you know what all of the sides add up to.
If you have all of the angles, and you know how the sides are related, you can get the values expressed in terms of the law of sines, can't you?
OH
How does one find the equation of a circle given three points?
In this case, I have the origin, (-3, 6,), and (2,1)
Three points on the circle ?
i think theres a way using the triangle formed from the 3 points
but i don't know how to do that :(
doesn't that give u radius
(x+3)^2+(y-6)^2=50
you're given (h,k)
@Big Bad Bug#1448
smh why can't I tag him
did I do it right?
$$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$$
oh
@main spire
Origin is (0,0)
but he says origin is -3,6
Lol
Sorry for the confusion
I have to find the center point of the circle
Given that the circle crosses the origin
And also crosses the intersections of 2 polynomial equations
But I solved for those points already so it’s irrelevant
So, is there a method without substitution?
$$\left(\frac{-3}{2}, 3\right)$$
Yeah there's a method with perpendicular bisectors
Ooh go on
So you draw a triangle with the three points
Use two of the edges
Find the midpoints of those edges
And then find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors
It's just -1/slope of original
For slope of perpendicular
Find where the perpendicular bisectors intersect
That point is the center of the circle
Then find the distance between the center and a point
To get the radius
Ah okay
And I don’t even need the radius for this problem
Since it’s just asking for the coordinates of the center
what's d-a?
the diagonal minus the side
Nice profile hahaha
Give us the d - a
what do you mean
$$d-a = (\sqrt{2}-1)a$$
"Find the area of an iscocles triangle with a base of 3x and sides of 2x"
Neato. Have you drawn it out?
Yes
Did you perhaps notice that the line which bisects the unique angle gives two congruent right triangle's whose unknown side is the height of your isosceles triangle?
Additionally, do you know the formula for the area of a triangle?
Yes I did
1/2b*perpendicular height
Good. Now solve for the missing side of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
It will be your perpendicular height.
(2x)^2 + (1.5x)^2
Not quite.
1.5x would be either a or b. Solve for which ever letter (b or a) that you don't have.
Ok, I can take it from here
Thank you 😄
@solar bane have you heard of brahmagupta?
no
it's a cyclic quad.
yeah
Right
s is the semiperimeter.
yep
okay
so im working on a program
and i was wondering if i could make a program that takes 3 values
Yeah....
and returns whether you can make a triangle with the 3 integers, and the numbers are the size of the triangles length
let me finish first 😛 
AC + AB > BC in Euclid's geometry.
alright
Is the following statement true?
(1) if you give me a relation that defines a certain shape, there’ll always be a complexer but somewhat similar shape defined by an equation pf superior degree.
Per exemple, if you give me an n-sphere, there’ll always provably be a (n+1)-sphere
(2) a flat plane that expends infinitely is a sphere.
<@&286206848099549185>
I know the 2nd one must be right, but like... at the same time...:
How dere
$$\lim_{Circumference\to\infty}\text{Circumference}=“\infty “$$
$$\text{Circumference}=2\pi r$$\
$$”\infty”=2\pi r$$\
$$”\infty”=r$$
No???
But then
Its volume is its own circumference and its own radius and thats very disturbing
@tropic stirrup
True or false: a flat plane that expends infinitely is a sphere.
if it's flat how is it a sphere 
Well
why
Because:
(1) if it had an infinitely small inclination, like: 1/infty. Then since it expends infinitely, it would be sphere no?
Also

We agree the thickness of the plane isn’t 0 roght?
yeah
So
Say we use pythagore to find the thickness, point A being on the bottom face and B on the top
There’s a crazily small difference between face A and face B
Now we place the point on the extremities of the figure:
We get
$$(\infty)^2+(thickness)^2=(distance AB)^2$$
please don't troll
infinity isn't a number
I AINT
...smiles...
but it's for reasons wholly unrelated to pythagorean theorem
and we just call the point infinity
Oh ok
But is the inclination of the flat plane infinite?
How’s that?
Could prove it algebraically for me...?
we can define a homeomorphism between the sphere and the plane with infinity
it's called the stereographic projection
look up Riemann sphere
Yes?
Of course! Gimme a minute tho
🙃 the prime has trolled before so watch out
Yes i did
you have a flat surface, a plane.
that surface doesn’t end: you could walk in a straight line as long as you want, you wouldn’t get back to your initial point.
is that plane a sphere?
it's one point away from a sphere
add a point to the plane and it's the same as a sphere
it is homeomorphic to a sphere
But aren’t points infinitely small...?
it's not like the plane magically turns itself to a sphere
we just say they are the same thing
Ok
and yes
Then what difference between a number n of infinitely smoll and n+1???
Oh
Infinity aint a number sorry
wat
Like you said if you add one point it becomes homeo~thing to a sphere
yeah
But adding infinitely small isn’t adding nothing?
thinks
No nvm
It’s not that simple laughs
so do you think (0, 1) and (0, 1] are the same?
because we just added the point {1}
lol
idk lol
he was like
is a flat plane really flat?
no he thinks a plane is a sphere because if you walk on a plane in a direction you never get back to your starting point
a sphere is a one point compactification of a plane
like the Riemann Sphere is for C
idk what he's talking about like
"infinity^2 + 1/infinity^2 = AB^2"

yi @tropic stirrup can you help me out with geometry >//<
=tex \text{the equations of perpendicular bisectors from sides AB and AC of a triangle}\ \text{ABC are }x-y+5=0\text{ and }x+2y=0 \ \text{ respectively. If the point A is}(1,-2)\text{, find the equation of the line BC}
i have a solution in mind but its cancerously long
Hi
Ok
So the trick is this
the solution to that simultaneous equations is the circumcenter, right?
now draw two lines from A, one perpendicular to x - y + 5 = 0 and the other to x + 2y = 0
You can easily find the equation of the circumcircle by its center and A(1, -2)
find the intersections of the circle and the two lines you've found to get the coordinates of B and C
to finish it all, find the equation of BC
I guess this is the "cancerously long" solution you talk about 
nah
my thing was
find the equations of AB and AC
then solve those with the respective bisectors
you can obtain the remaining 2 vertices
then you have those and finding a line through 2 points is ez
that would work right?
Yeah that's it basically
and the calculations suck
it's not long
long as in those calculations
yeah i just sovled it
but the calcs suck lol
fractions and stuff
y = x + 5; y = -x/2
perpendicular lines that pass through A:
y = -x - 1, y = 2x - 4
Intersections:
(-3, 2), (8/5, -4/5)
Reflect:
(-7, 6), (11/5, 2/5)
not too dirty 
ye but then
you left out the line part lol
i mean yeah its 100% doable but annoying
=calc ((-4/5)-(2))/((8/5)-(-3))

Query made by @tropic stirrup
Data sourced from Wolfram|Alpha: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=10000!
Do more with Wolfram|Alpha Pro: http://www.wolframalpha.com/pro/
No, but I've heard of Wolfram|Alpha
no

like in the calc
Error: Cannot perform factorial on a number greater than 300
Oh ok
it can even do 3^(10^1000)
not in the calc, no
but it now has sympy
so if you input sin(π/3) it'll give sqrt(3)/2
oh yeah @tropic stirrup wanna see something interesting
ill just dm it because idt its safe to send here
Ok

Could use some help on a formula
I have function, the square root of a paraboloid with two variables. What would make the function open ended, closed, limited, unlimited, coherent or incoherent?
I asked a question geometry related in #help-3 but just realised this would have been a better place. We can talk about it in either room.
help
I think we'd need the equations of the parabolas?
Maybe not but it seems we could draw a lot of different parabolas that pass through those points
*with those tangent lines
fun problem it seems, interested in answer when someone saves ye
Maybe if we reorganize as two parabolas that cross the x-axis at points distance 5 apart with the perpindicular tangent liens...
Since it's a rectangle it'd have to be symmetrical
so just multiply that by 2
Constructing such a parabola is beyond me
but that seems reasonable, no?
oh wait
so rotate the rectangle so it rests on a side of length 3
it's 8
uh
why
I just guessed

ok wtf
Beizer curve equation
I did 2 / 3 * area of triangle
since that's some random formula I remembered for the area of an arc
yeah that's right too
but that's sketchy lol
don't you just work out each part individually then add?
Yeah
So work out the volume of a sphere and divide by two and add the volume of the circular base cone
2/3pir^3 +1/3pir^2h
In degrees list all solutions between 360 deg and 720 deg
3sin(2x) + 5 = 4
<@&286206848099549185>
Well, we can start by rearranging the equation.
2x = asin(-1/3)
What does the a mean
is the 360 and 720 deg for the solutions x has to lie between?
arc
its another way of saying inverse
asin, just means inverse of sin
if 360<x<720, remember to base your results for 720<2x<1440
^
@pulsar bay Helf, I g2g
oh right
sure thing @thin hound
2x=arcsin(-1/3) right?
so the principal value you get is -19.5
and so we can either sketch the sinx curve
and see where the principal value turns up at -1/3
and see the rest of the corresponding values
or you can do it via rules
a rule is that sin resets after every 360 degrees and for negative principals, -180+19.5 is another solutions and 180+19.5 is also another solution
continue doing that until you get into the range of 720 and 1440
and then divide all answers by 2
and you get your result
I got it dw
look at first and second decimal point
if second decimal point more or equal to 5 round the 1st decimal up
and if it is below 5 round first decimal down
dont see anything else you can add apart from labelling the axis
K thanks
@upper karma desmos is a great utility to use to visually verify a trig function's graph. Way better than my ti-84, imo.
can I divide: cos(2x)=-1
to cos(x)=(-1/2)
or wait, should cos(2x)=-1 turn into this formula
@crimson wing u can't do cos(2x)/2 = cos(x)
how did you get cosx*sinx @waxen gorge
would anyone be able to help me with proof
is u able to halp

well imma post the question anyway
Pls assist on number 1
If ST is the perpendicular bisector of RQ at the point P, then that implies RP = PQ
Since triangles SPR and SPQ have two congruent sides and one congruent angle, they are congruent by SAS
This implies angles SQP and SRP are congruent
Similarly, we can say that since triangles PQT and SPT share two congruent sides and an angle, they are congruent by SAS
This implies angles TQP and TRP are congruent
angle SRT = angle SRP + angle TRP by angle addition
angle SQT = angle SQP + angle TQP by angle addition
Since angle SRP is congruent to angle SQP and angle TRP is congruent to TQP, you can say by substitution,
angle SRT = angle SRP + angle TRP
angle SQT = angle SRP + angle TRP
Therefore, angles SRT and SQT are congruent
@heavy kernel
pfft. It's more difficult to understand without a diagram, tbf
I would recommend labeling the angles
Also, I technically skipped a step in saying that since ST is a perpendicular bisector of RQ at point P, angles SPQ, QPT, RPT, and SPR are all 90 degrees
well thats given
Should've been TRP. I was reading a picture on discord, it's hard to see without clicking on it
ah
I was just mentioning I skipped it, idk how hard your teach/prof is about it
she just want a 2 column thing
where i state the proof and the reasoning on each side
unless the question specifically tell me to do something else of course
thanks again
ye
Isnt the volume of any 3d figure its surface area * height?
If so why is the volume of a cone 1/3pi*r^2 * height?
hmm
what figure does that apply to anyway?
cube
Works for general prisms i think
surface area of cube with edge length 3
is 54 units^2
but volume is 27 units^3
though?
unless i'm misunderstanding something
yeah
yeah, that applies to prisms in general
base area * height
pretty sure it falls apart for cones and pyramids
it works for cyllinders too
^
for pyramids and cones it seems to be the same but divided by 3?
yeah
ok thats easy to remember 👍
Dot product & arccos.
There is simpler: a pentagon inside a pentagon and Vertical Angles Theorem. $$\frac{2\pi}{5}$$
It says its in the third quadrant, how do u know tht
sisnce costheta is -3/5
it cld be in the second quadrant too rite
what's the question?
the statement mentions an interval, so it must be given in the question.
😄
yes
how do i do it
what have you tried?
removing the sin square
yeah, then what do you get?
but do i have to take the 3 out
nope
out in a bracket
sin^2 (3x) ( 1 - cos^2(3x)) is what you get
but 3x is still inside for cos how
but its not squared
?
what do i do then
use a trig identity after that
1-sin'2'
close
oh cos then
ye
so whats 1-cos^2
sin'2
right
the i multiply the sin'2 to get sin'4 does that work
yup
suppose the 3 was in front of the sin cos or tan
can it be treated as 3(x) x= sin cos or tan
i dont know what you mean
yeah
yeah
but what if its in front can it still be the same eg sin3(thieter)
if you have sin3x=sin3(x) but the 3x is still within the function of sin
goes for the rest of the trig stuff
so your saying sin3(x)=3(sinx)
sure
that's not right
you cant do that
cos^4 = cos^2 cos^2 = (1-sin^2) cos^2
could you explain why
but i can only take the ^2 out
so that =(cos^2+sin^2)^2
how
you lost me
i got 2^(1+2sin^2cos^2)
so sustitute x=cos^2 and y=sin^2
ok
you can rewrite the expression as x^2+2xy+y^2
right?
since (cos^2)^2=cos^4=x^2
and try and factorise that you get (x+y)^2
i got 1+2 (x^2)( y^2)
uhhh
i dont know if thats right @orchid hill
can you show me your working out
of all the steps
so cos^4+2cos^2sin^2+sin^4
you can factorise it into (cos^2+sin^2)(cos^2+sin^2)
which is 1*1=1
how do you factorise
can you guys move to #precalculus? this is not the right channel.
this is trig
which is precal.
sorry
