🤔
Wot bro
Oh gotcha
Eeh
You equated the angles
I mean if sin(x)=sin(y) then we cannot imply that x=y
I am super confused
Where did that 2kpi came from
😭
Ok I know that but
I think I mustdrop this question
That's ok
Makes sense bro
I got it
I appreciate your efforts !
I am done with trigonometry function . Now next is trig identities I hope I found then easy
Eeh
Sopving that equation I got - of the answer
t_2-t_1=-2pik/w
Sorry u were contact
Correct
- b
I need help with b)
Of 9
@dark sparrow Ann can you help with this
Please !
It's the last question
,rotate -90
since x_1 - x_2 = 2a and x_1 and x_2 are both between -a and a, it must be that x_1 = a and x_2 = -a
krishna dont ask for that much help from here and try to understand them yoirself
youll see it will help you a lot
think till you get the answer
Bro
I always try to do that
The text I am reading is not self explanatory
Also it has very limited knowledge
That's why
ok so I've been stuck on this for hours and I finally broke someone help please
didn't you see the pic I gave you?
It's quite obvious based on the pic
yea I saw it but I need to find the sum with the infinite series and I'm struggling to find a and r
What have you find?
area of the first couple circles, but I struggle with anything trig related so I'm gonna see if I can work on it tomorrow morning bc it is almost 5am where I am at. thanks for the help!
Did you find any pattern for the radius?
there probably is one but I only have them in decimal form so it would be hard for me to see a pattern
consider circle 1 and circle 2, then consider circle 2 and circle 3, these 2 structures are similar so the radii are being multiplied by a constant factor each time
ok that's where I'm struggling at. Well good night and thanks
you can directly calculate R and r and then immediately put them into an infinite sum to get the total area
Yeah
Pi = 5?

But.. is this a question of yours, or just something you wanted to share?
its a meme he wanted to share
Ah, that explains 😝
Hmmm
DarK:
Im pretty sure this wont be 5
I also have no idea how did someone came up with this formula
But how did he get this
Like did he just got high and had god come down to him and giving this to him?
yes
Idunno what did he got high from but I want some too
how do you call lines go through the same intersection? copunctual? because if points are all in a line they're called colinear if they are in the same plane coplanar? Is there such a word for having the same intersection point?
Hold on is that expression = π or ≈π
it's pi.
Smart people. and it was probably not intentionaly found to calculate pi
Ramanujan did all this stuff without formal training or anything else so damn
For example $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^i}{2i+1} = \frac{\pi}{4}$ wasn't found to calculate digits of pi.
Ꞡꭍî╥(│-│ḛƉ քîҳӘꭍş:
Oh I came up with a way to calculate Pi once as a kid
Infact it's really, really, really insanely bad at doing exactly that
i only ever thought about the hexagon expansion thing that seems reasonable for pi
how do you call lines go through the same intersection? copunctual? because if points are all in a line they're called colinear if they are in the same plane coplanar? Is there such a word for having the same intersection point?
@subtle gate concurrent
thanks!
how come? I've been poking at it on my own preparing for pre-calc. It's not that bad so far.
being dumb here, trying to do some double & half angle identity limit stuff
I find the applied trig to be quite interesting
i just came back to the same result i started from
i tried to do some stuff with the identities but idk what to actually do lmao
i probably should study trig or something
While I don't think I can help, you could probably expand on this by showing an example of a problem that you're struggling with
yeah, I don't have a whole hell a lot of experience in calculus either. 😛 Other than knowing that 2(1-sin(x)) where 1-sin(x) is 0/undefined. That's the extent of my ability.
this real difficult for me lmao
Not sure why double/half identities as that is usually when A/2 or 2A, this is just x.
i also dont understand how the result can be 3
oh wait nvm
its the pythagorean identity..
my bad it was only pythagorean and double angle identities smh
ima try again
(another question ofc)
also what is this supposed to mean?
i mean the expression
it seems weird to me
Says find the limit as θ approaches π/2 of the expression
i know
tan square is being multiplied to 1-sin
what are [] supposed to mean
It's just ()
oh
Brackets can be more clearer than ()
i see
I feel like I should drill trig identities before hitting calculus after this. 😛
Very much so. Like I can understand why they are undefined, but I wouldn't know how to actually solve the problems shown
Just general notions, but with great doubt.
this is beyond horrible for me
i mean i like math but i cant understand trig identities
They're generally derivatives of other identities in particular Pythagorean and Sum/difference identities
i see
Probably help if you can find a trig book for cheap and simply study the identities section
The one I'm using to study is like 10 dollars . 😛 very helpful thus far
just waiting for the books to arrive lmao
its basically all of the hs math
we have
I scrub used book stores to find mathematic books. I think I have a calculus book for 5 dollars.
In any case, the basic identities are Ratio (based on right triangle), Reciprocals, and Pythagorean. So if you study those, you might have an easier time. The more complex leads to Sum/difference.
WHich leads to double and half
If you draw a right triangle, and play around with it using Algebra, you could potentially just figure out the identities yourself. They aren't exactly elusive
so all im able to do is basically just find the sides and angles of right triangles lmao
the unit circle is taught AFTER diff calc here
... That's silly.
Unit Circle is the core part of Trig. Like, my text book teaches it right off the bat after Right triangle identities
i know
also the chain rule is featured on the "trig functions" course
yes its called that
I know nothing of Chain rule. I assumed it was Calculus and not Trig
so no, the chain rule isnt a topic of the course that has to do with derivatives
idk what kind of idea was that
yeah it is calc
I'm ignorant after a certain point in mathematics, so no idea of the intentions.
also i heard they just differentiate things on that course
i see i know nothing either
im a 9th grader
not even in high school here
Teenager then? Ah, well, just accept the nature of it, and always take responsibility of your personal education.
yea
Although, surprising you're doing that stuff now. In my high school education, Highest math required is I think Algebra II. 😛 Regardless, going off topic here.
You need the unit circle definition to make sense of radian measure, and you need radian measure to make sense of trig derivatives
You must at least understand the unit circle, and radians?
they mean differential calculus
Welp, good for them, starting that early
and no, im not in calculus because that isnt taught to 9th graders here
Just to be super clear, what’s the derivative of Sin 2x @vague pagoda
Or Sin x even
Just really want to make sure you meant derivative and not derive, it’s pretty shocking to me
what is shocking to u? please explain
But hey, I guess different countries do it differently
Doing trig derivatives before a Calc class
Oh, that’s standard then
There is a lot in Calc then just derivatives
Yes, there is still things than just derivatives in a Differential Calc course
i know. they surely do differentiation too...
Atleast where I’m from, we still did limits, curve sketching, optimization
Most of these require derivatives, but it’s not like you do power rule all day
i mean because the chain rule isnt taught before the trig course
Why would chain rule be taught before Calc
i would imagine that is an important part of calculus
i mean why isnt it taught in the calc course
.-.
It probably is
Calculus is a broad topic though. There is a lot of topics to cover for beginners
i know just wondering
You just said you didn’t do derivatives in your trig class wtf
dont mind me
i think u got confused
it is taught in the high school trig course which comes right after diff calc
What is taught in your HS TRIG
so the sequencing is fine then
(and trig stuff obviously)
yeah i guess so
people just said to me its weird that chain rule comes after calc
It’s weird that your trig is after your Calc
thats only because the basic trig is included in the geometry course
(there are 10 courses of hs math here)
all mandatory ones
Depends. In my high school, trig was not a thing at all, and generally shoved as a subsection of Pre-calculus and Algebra II
We had only 5 math courses
we have "Numbers and sequences", "Polynomial Functions and Equations", "Geometry", "Vectors", "Analytic Geometry", "Differential Calculus", "Trigonometric Functions", "Root and Logarithmic Functions", "Integral Calculus" and "Probability and statistics"
idk what is this and why was there a need to have this many courses
arcsin is the same thing as saying sin^-1 right?
yes
cool ty
can someone help?
the teacher never taught us this and expected us to know how to solve it
please don't use the helper ping without waiting 15 minutes first
Read the rules in #❓how-to-get-help please
read #❓how-to-get-help
what do you know about parallel lines, the property of angles formed by the transversal, and supplementary angles?
what do you think, at least
give me your reckoning
supplementary angles are 180 degrees
parallel lines never intersect
besides that, i think im clueless.
we just started this topic and
the teacher was really vague
disregard i got the answer
thank you though
alrighty
finally i am starting to get this trig identity thing
i got the right answer
at least.
I always read this Gyazo as gay zoo

anyone help?
ok i know that but i don't know how to do it

can you tell me how the hell we find the length of AP
That’s where I was lost, the non-square makes the question pretty weird imo
Well, since the four corners are essentially right triangles, I would just use the radius of the circle to get a right triangle, then get the length of the arc. Once you get the arc, you got a segment of the corner triangles. However, if it's a rectangle, would the circle be more of an oval?
not necessarily
R and Q would just be placed differently for APQR to be a square/rectangle
Oh, I misread the statement.
Suggestion/hint: set up the equation for Pythagorean's theorem, using some variable to represent the length of the red line.
then use that to find the length of AP
but how
APQR is not a square
rather, APQR must be a square
it does not necessarily have to be
no. by adjusting the points R and Q you create a shape with different dimensions
and also dragging P with that
oh, sorry; I thought the red and blue triangle that was drawn formed a right triangle
apparently not
yes
In case you guys need a bigger diagram
Could the nature of parallel of a rectangle be used? It's bisecting another parallel line (The square) albiet, a small segment.
there's infinitely many solutions
oh wait, I was missing AR = QP
sorry, I'm really tired
yea it's a rEctangle
that simplifies this a lot, though
consider where the point P must lie on the circle, then
wait, this is still unsolvable
🤔
are you sure this is all the information?
is it unsolvable? Should the bisection make a 90 degree angle?
demonstration of why this is unsolvable
with the information given, the shape could "look like" any of those rectangles + the circle
but those would all give different radii
(Excuse the terrible drawing, you get the gist)
I think it's just trig functions since I feel we can bisect using QP and QR, this allows for a 90 degree angle. We already know one side is 5
why is bisecting QP and QR helpful?
what will the angles of that triangle be?
Fair enough
Are in similiar triangles with scaling factor k, the lines connecting a vertex and the orthocenter also in ratio of the scaling factor to each other?
@subtle gate It seems so to me, try proving the angles of the arising triangles are the same
?
I think you want to prove that the triangles formed by the orthocenter and two vertices in both initial triangles are similar
mkay...?
Don't you? Maybe I misunderstood
Don't you wanto to prove that CGB and EHF are similar triangles? @subtle gate
I'm bad at drawing even with geogebra so be indulgent for that
geogebra has tools to help you... ehrm well yeah
I know it does, that's why I am bad
For not knowing how to use them
Then, as I was saying, prove that their angles are couple-wise equal
It is possible to do so using angles subtended by arcs
you click on more... and then there is orthogonals...
I'll save it for next time, now this seems sufficient
From then on you can use the power of imagination
Nice, let me know when you succeed if you want !
However I saw some of the commands you talked about, but for example I don't know how to expand the triangle by some factor
can someone give me a few reasons to why i should use a compass and straightedge in geometry
Are you doing constructions?
yeah
besides being inaccurate what are the disadvantages of not using a compass and straightedge
I mean I'm not quite sure what answer you're looking for
Other than it's been interesting to see what we can and cannot do with those tools
The tools aren't powerful enough for you to be able to do everything
But they also aren't weak enough to not be able to do anything
@upper karma
okay thanks
what am I doing
Not doing math
Yeah, that question is a philosophy question
Lol
what is giving you trouble here
How do I solve for the dimensions? do I just solve for 4x=12?
Yes
oh wow that easy my bad
Anyone care to explain 27, thanks:)
,rotate 90
,rotate 180
Nvm thanks
@grave fulcrum it's a rectangle not a square
oki
so then what is the equation then?
for 31
the sides of a triangle have lengths of 4, 6, and x. Write inequality that states the possible values of x
sum of two sides greater than third side
so like 6 - 4 < x < 6 + 4
2 < x < 10
-2 < x < 10
lol
should just be 0 < x < 10
the sides of the triangle can't be negative
Lmao
Ye
makes sense
thanks
np
Supposed it’s not equal
@grave fulcrum maximize xy when x+y=6
With am-gm, for instance?
?
thanks man
What would be the process to figure out sin(40)=cos(x)?
would I just take the inverse cosine of sine(40)?
No
How else?
Draw a right triangle
k
In a sense yes,
x = cos⁻¹(sin(40))
But that doesn't really give you more info
then what does a triangle give me?
draw it and see
I wanna give hint but im not sure if its too much
like, idk man, it's much easier to see what it gives you when you actually take what it has to offer
Given a point P lying on the x-y plane away from the origin O in a 3 dimensional space with axes x,y,z, is there a nice simple formula for converting the quarternion to the angle between the x axis and the line OP?
given we also have the 3 dimensional quarternion for the orientation of OP with P lying on the x axis
purpose: because in unity2d it only gives the quarternion i could not find how to find 'the usual beginner type of angles' and i found that its not really a linear relationship between the 'beginner angles' versus the quarternion angles
also, what are beginner angles called?
there are too many types of angles and i couldn't find a catalogue of the type of angles at least in this sense
the other little trick is sin(x) = cos(90-x)
no worries, its simple tricks but you dont really see them until you look for them :P
i wouldnt call it "the other trick"
since you can see why it works when you draw the right triangle
since the angles in a right triangle add to 180, and there's already a right angle, the other two angles must add to 90
so x and (90 - x)
yea I guess its just a shortcut if you have done it once tho
Alright y'all
I want to know the relationshi between angle r and t
i need help
with my hw
can someone help me

it says
the line through (-1,-6) and is parallel to the line through (-1,7) and (5,4)
write the equation of the line
okay so whats giving you trouble
ok so
i want to make sure
this is write
right
i took the slap
slope
of
(-1,7) and (5,4)
and got -1/2
is that right firstof all
yep
oh jheez i subtracted in my head wrong
no you were correct about -1/2
so yes the slope is -1/2
ok
now
when i
do point slope
form
i get this
y=-1/2x+13/2
i used (-1,7)
is that right
-1,-6
-7...
not -6
i said (-1,7)
@fossil ledge
oh wait
ur right
but
thats not
what i want
i need to find
another point
that doesnt make
the b
a fraction
you want a line that goes through -1,-6 and parallel with that other line
i am helping you, stop pinging me
..
we have the slope of the line we are trying to create
why
because
my teacher
is stupid
and she says
u cant plot
13/2
or 23
2/3
exactly
on graph paper
scaling
scale your paper
I am trying to help, but I really need help
make each square 0.5
well too bad then lol
thats not how math works
if b is a fraction, its a fractoin
what
no
cap
she wont allow
there is no other point
what is b?
look
do you know what b is
the points given
are
(-1,7)
(5,4)
i found the slope
and created
the equation
y=-1/2x+13/2
now
i cant let
13/2
where did you get 13/2
i did
you arent showing your work
what
thats not how you find b
first of all a few things
point slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
using two points...
yes
can you allow me to speak?
ok
so we found the slope to be -1/2
we are find the equation of the line through (-1,-6), NOT THE POINT-SLOPE
the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is our slope and b is our y-intercept
it says equation of a line parallel
what does parallel mean
.
what is .?
go ahead
if you're still around, can you help me with that geometry question in #help-4
I just want to somewhat understand it, then go to bed
im bad at geometry, Cap's question wasnt even geometry or trig
it was just prealg-algebra
Yeah, seemed like alg to me 
I do my best not to tiger-dad when I teach but like what do you do when they say what you are doing is wrong
how would i simplify this without factoring?
if factored, the answer would be 5+4sinx
Just expanding (2+sin(t))^2 should yield something workable
expand the (2+sint)^2
👍
i think she just pretends
lmao what

yes
:(
oh spare me the modesty
14

I admit I am dumb for a 14yo
i think its becuz ur a grill
yes its bc of that
wait a minute
I am out here drilling some limits
yea trap


just a phrase used by my teacher
dw bro u are way smarter than me at 14 y/o
nothing serious
i was a dumb table fucker when i was 14
Where does this assumption of my intelligence come from?
I see
For sure
Soap u doing physik
soαρ:

wow big brem
Lmao
@upper karma sorry to ping . But what would be a good book to learn trigonometry
no reply
jk=___? @vague pagoda
?
Jk is a shortening for jokes
"just kidding"


Differentiation is not that hard. It requires a lot of time and dedication to master it, though. I tried to learn calculus in a few weeks. It was not a good idea. I ended up having to rewind most of the material.
My math teacher recommended me to start with Algebra.
How are you learning Differentiation on before Algebra...
i will learn calculus in weeks
I know Algebra
Derivatives are also learnable in a few weeks time
when i was learning calculus in hs a lot of students did poorly bc they did not have a firm grasp on algebra
which impeded their learning differentiation
"Your text compares in readability to The New York Times. It is likely to be understood by a reader who has at least a 10th-grade education (age 16)." how to make my text easier to understand?
the sentences are short already
Why don't you go to khancadmey
I am there lol
I have done 25% of the AP calc course there
Don't worry you will this shit
huh
didnt u read what i wrote
"Differentiation is not that hard. It requires a lot of time and dedication to master it, though. I tried to learn calculus in a few weeks. It was not a good idea. I ended up having to rewind most of the material.

its from a school thing
Ohk
its not real life
Wdym by "not real life "
They take s lot of time
I did this
For example
Not everyone is at the same level cotton.
i know
For example finding the inverse of f(x,y)=(x+y,x-y)
Just because you can do challenge problems doesn’t mean everyone can
I am small bren
For example finding the inverse of f(x,y)=(x+y,x-y)
I barely even knew what trigonometry was 4 months ago
Is the hardest thing I have done today
Who are you trying to impress cotton
Lol
You only did one problem
you guys give me cancer
She he... What is the difference
gender
You can motivate without stating your accomplishments
I did Calc 1 and 2 in 3 weeks
yeah i know
But I don’t need to state that to help someone
Sounds more condencending than motivating
youve mentioned it
Who are you trying to impress ?
Exactly Neveza
Well thats an opinion
I’m trying to show you that going above your current grade doesn’t make you some savant, lots of people do it
If I can learn you can learn too
I already know it
I do not want to be one
"savants" are usually autistic or intellectually disabled but have 1 special skill

Heh
Well, I leave you be then
Good luck on the rest of your education and academic goals

Gosh wish I was a savant. Then I would have a skill
wish you were gifted instead
tbh i already estimate most of you are gifted in mathematics
Well, I am certainly special
Lmao
special I see
The gifted are the one who have solved hell lot of problems
have you considered twice-exceptionality?
In math
Krishna
Yes
Its about the level of knowledge not solving many problems
although that comes with it, too.
Solving problems shows your knowledge
Yea
depends what kind of problems they are and what is your current knowledge level
Solving basic problem show level of understanding I understand
if its basic arithmetic it really doesnt show much if you are a mathematician
but that is good for a kid
graph of drugs 
I agree
math in an of itself is not all that stressful
math classes and feeling like you have to do good can be tho
Math can be stressful sometimes
Math is not stressful
Yes
Your own goals are what make it stressful
Math can be exhausting though
but i don't know if i've ever found math in isolation to induce stress
Exhausting I agree
I set too high expectations for myself
it's okay 👍
Yeah sometimes it's frustrating
let's not find out how my word choice looks in hebrew 
i used to feel that way with math
then my math teacher put AMC problems on my test and changed them to be harder and I stopped living

I’m happy with 80 lol
i try to get 100s on most tests tho
In last math exam I failed with the simplest thing, that was measurement units
define "failed"
For example 15. Mins ago I didn't got why when we add a positive constant to input it shifts leftwards but I know understand the behaviour so it's no more stress.
I am d student back in high school. 🤷
Luckily only 2 points were subtracted
I mean the question


i can relate tho
I got 1 out of 3 points
It’s a familiar sight but that’s not failing bud
when i get below a 95 on a bio test i feel like i fucked up too
The feeling of confusion in mathematics is the most uncomfortable one .
ah
I am 15
noice
No multiple choice questions usually
i am too
u need to write the answers
math exams at my school tend to be 7 multiple choice and then like 3 short answer
god i hated geo
or I mean
fuck that class
I like geometry
u have to calculate them in a piece of paper and u can use a calculator
not that bad but still
Geometey is my thing man
I slept through geometry and made a high B
Algebra is what I suck at problem solving
Geometry is 
it went down by like 2 points cause of that class cry
in our geometry exam the equations were on the smart board so everyone could see them
Geometey is very easy to Me. Because I can see what I am trying to do
I mean stuff like pi * r^2
Pies are round
Memorizing equations doesn’t make you good at math
But in algebra . We do a lot of trials and errors , guesswork
I know it doesnt
Most math exams I’ve had had formula sheets
but you could also use a calculator
Can I have someone explain how math class are split into different classes. Cuz the maths I had here is a combination of algebra, geometry, trig, stats and some set theory
Having a calculator won’t always help you either?
in this case it helped a lot
In a geometry test
Goat 
you should see what the exams are like here
Where they are testing your geometry skills, not your algebra skills
they are different
I mean this for real. High school courses are weird shit and there is 10 of them
Bakrieid is coming soon. Don't mess with me lol .Goat
lol what
What
you do 10 classes?
yes
Not at same time Sloth
10 classes 
we have "Numbers and sequences", "Polynomial Functions and Equations", "Geometry", "Vectors", "Analytic Geometry", "Differential Calculus", "Trigonometric Functions", "Root and Logarithmic Functions", "Integral Calculus" and "Probability and statistics"
idk what is this and why was there a need to have this many courses
what
anyway i can see the point i guess
see
is each one half a year or a trimester or something?
lol high school is 3 years here
Are those just classes or topic in a class?
classes
They sound like units
no they arent topics
Yeah
Also you didn’t answer the question cotton
how long does each one last?
each one lasts 6 weeks
Wait
uh
what question
That’s like a unit lol
So you do like the same amount of math as everyone in Hs
Even in India
can’t judge r i g o r o u s But ok
In India we go a quite a lot in depth
I know what rigorous means
What does it mean btw ?
You can judge rigorousness
,w rigorous
we go thru calculus in more depth and multivariable calc in 13th course
Multivariable calc in high school? You kidding me
(yes I said there is 10 but 11-13 are nationwide optional advanced classes)
also every school has their own advanced courses or no advanced courses at all
the high school I am going to has diffy qs, matrix calc, complex numbers and equations, game theory n shit
interesting stuff
😍
n shit
Interesting stuff lol
Nice
also a lot of science courses in general
Since I came to this server I began to feel like we hoomans are really overrated.
: o
I like it.
those are nice courses
for now i am looking at doing calc I, II, III, lin alg, and set theory stuff
Yeah they are great courses
maybe as a junior i will try to get some intro to analysis or intro to abstract algebra
