I have two question: what is the red questionmark and how do i find d1
the red question mark is the angle between point A and the initial point you started to move from
so from my head to point A?
ohhhh
i see now, thanks a lot again @upper karma
sure thing
then you have angle A, because all angles from a triangle need to add up to 180
and you can use the law of sines to determine the distance (marked as d1)
@upper karma you are a genius

How does finding side d1 help me find the length of A to B? @upper karma
you do this the same with point B, having a shared vertex with point A
and that forms another triangle
I'm not following along here
But how would I find line A-B
how about now?
let's say BP = 50m (for example)
and AP = 58m
and you have the green angle
you use the law of cosines
yep
that makes a lot more sense now, you are the best @upper karma
no
how would I find a length of Triangle DPB?
oh, I see
yes DPB would be 90 degrees
because it's a shared vertex with the previous triangle
and you need to move 1 m in the other direction to get the distance
or, you could start from the original point
move right 1 m (same as the previous triangle with point A), but at 90 deg
oh, ok. that makes sense now. Thanks again @upper karma
@little osprey How is it going?
its fine for both of them to be 90°
DP won't necessarily be exactly 1m.
When a teacher says: "Actual measurements are not necessary" would you consider the teacher not caring about that it's not 90 degrees?
measurements not necessary means that you aren't expected to find lengths
That really means you need to set up a general solution that takes into account whatever the measurements would be
just an outline of a method
So use variables instead of numbers
and if constructing 90° angles makes the theoretical calculations easier, you're free to do so.
however there may be a limitation depending on whether it aligns with your window
since its implied that you can measure the base angles and side, you can calculate what you need from:
angle sum / sin law, and cosine law (regardless of the size of your angles)
the green angles are congruent
you could also do this with lower values
if 1m is too much
you can use 0.3m
(30 cm)
on a piece of paper or something
that you can hold flat
and draw the angles on that, while keeping an eye on the direction they're pointing
otherwise you'd have to use pieces of 1m string around the house, maybe ask someone to hold it in place
@upper karma thanks again
consider applying the angle sum of a triangle to get x + y
(i'm using y instead of o, since o looks bad in plain text)
lol
Also BIC (bigger)
Then smaller
That should be enough of a hint for you @merry abyss
Ah okay thanks guys
What Ramanov said
I created a system of equations
Yeah?
A system of 3 equations and only used one to solve the other
Sometimes I have a problem with just diving straight into the algebra I try to avoid it :/ which is why I get stuck on simple questions
so thanks guys
^
note that the second equation wasn't needed
Yeah lol
I thought this would be A, am I missing something?
How do I do this I’m so confused
@sudden bane if you rotate that, the base has another side to the left of AB
Draw a diagram to illustrate the situation, you should see a triangle in the illustration
Oh that makes more sense. that means the diameter would be 10 right.
What part of the triangle is the string? Did you put Timmy and the kite in your pic? Or just the abstracted triangle?
So Timmy’s kite string is dragging on the ground
Should I flip the numbers?
@upper karma ammy can you draw the kite and timmy in the picture? I think you have some confusionabout what the angle of elevation refers to
And a bird measures the angle between Timmy and the kite to be 48 degrees
Is Timmy holding the string, or it’s tied to a stake in the ground somewhere else?
But your angle is...better.
What’s your pic look like now?
@little osprey Did you tackle my task?
That is not the right picture @upper karma
How@do I draw it then? 😦
@night summit double angle cosine ID to quadratic in sine
Or you could graph each side and hope they cross at nice places
@upper karma you good now?
@ripe dove ohhh
So then I just gotta find what to do
Like sin cos or the other thing
Which side do you want to know, and what is the trig function relating it to the things you know already?
What I’m so confused
Did I do this right?
@upper karma what is this angle?
and are you familiar with the law of sines?
@upper karma Yes I’m familiar
With it
Pretty easy
@upper karma After findiing missing angle you can apply law of sine.
yep
the notation/work is a little dodgy
also what's with this obsession of applying the sine law. ( overcomplicating the problem)
you should be writing the degree symbol on paper AND
you mean side?
I used cos
Ya side
why a decimal for the angle?
ah
No I’m finding x
My bad
I got 20.35 for x
yeah, it's fine
Ok thanks
do they specify how many decimals to use?
No
because you could round it off to 20.4
oh
It just says “using sin cos and tan find the value for x”
you should NOT be writing: \
$ \cos(32\deg) = \frac{x}{24} {\color{red}{,24}}$ \ to indicate that you are multiplying both sides by 24..
ramonov:
O
Ok
as it is simple enough for that action to be implied
Did I do this one right?
$y = -2x+7$ ?
ramonov:
Ya
yeh
Aye this shit I got it down
please improve your handwriting
After watching like 40 YouTube videos lmao
Ok I’ll try all my teachers tell me that
you could've also just soh cah toa your way through it
Yes I used soh cah toa our teacher made us memorize that
or cosine, sure
,w 24cos(32pi/180)
,w 24cos(32pi/180)
Woah wtf
,w 24cos(32 Deg)
precision sucks when you enter degrees onto wolfram
Tbh ^
som1 help
@upper karma look like an exam m8
its 9/20 nvm
not trig related
i think this is the right category
God damn 3 questions at a time
Your question is vectors related
who mine?
No
the one with the die toss is statistics
Hell no we dont do this here @supple gazelle
did someone say test?
THAN EXPLAIN

AND HALP
so
Lmao
We weren't talking about you peepee
but can you help me tho
Nope
asking for help during a test is a bannable offence
I WAS KIDDING
^
i havent been in class
ITS HOMEWORK
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326138757474680852/712767849168502925/image0.png
@upper karma
yeah, it's correct:
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/mjq7jee8rb
pranked
Bruh
lumow, shr1nd
You are just being annoying
would be greatly appreciated
Aight
its questions for an upcoming test. it's homework practice https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326138757474680852/712769109128904826/unknown.png help
please stop spamming that, shr1nd
they won't, apparently.
but does anyone want to help me tho
@high hemlock notice that $\overrightarrow{AB}=B-A$
cuz test next week
Al𝟛dium:
ah
yes
thank you
i have nopticed
i think
bro i was not here for this chapter
No need to plot it
Uhh i dont know why on earth DSpider told you that
Anyways
Please get AB
Try
$\overrightarrow{AB}=B-A$
Al𝟛dium:
oh
(17-7,19-4)
ah okay
Thankyou @upper karma it helped greatly
Aight so $\overrightarrow{AB}=(10,15)$
Al𝟛dium:
Now
@supple gazelle you can always google "what's the amplitude of a graph"
you'll eventually get there
$\overrightarrow{AP}$
Al𝟛dium:
wot
Oh wait
Pythagora
to find the length of segment AB
Uh i assumed AB was the vector
My bad
the divide it by 3
Im used to analitic geometry lol
i wouldn't recommend finding the length of AB.
it's inefficient
consider instead the ratios of the change in x and y
Uhh $\overline{AB}$
Al𝟛dium:
Could you check if this is right? Does the pie symbols effect my answers?
AP = 2/3
PB = 1/3
you're done already?
no
Did you just switched
@upper karma Did you check it?
Im just confused by the notation, $\overline{AB}$
Al𝟛dium:
@supple gazelle the amplitude is wrong
Isn't the amplitude how many units it takes to get to the midpoint from the top and bottom line
or vice-versa
@upper karma that is how you mark a line segment
oh its 4
How do I determine whether to plug in the question in degree or radians?
Right?
2
Why are there 3 questions going on here
^this
@upper karma that is how you mark a line segment
@upper karma and i know but its weird
Is there not allowed to be multiple? Why don't they make multiple channels if it's a problem
this is obviously the only channel in this server
kk thnx
Greek letter channels are for general use.
So if you're the one complaining move channels
No one else had an issue
Common Sense
Or go by who asked first
No one else had an issue
@supple gazelle ITS NOT AN ISSUE FOR YOU BC YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO DEAL WITH 3 PPL AT THE SAME TIME
You are only focused on your question
This dude really giving out Karen vibes
in general, follow the rules
joking about stuff being a test is highly not-recommended.
as currently we have no confidence on whether it actually is or not.
We could all just Embargo answers for shr1nd
if you get caught asking or you help with a test, you get banned
gg
Being rude to the people helping you for free because they like to is a good way to not get helped
I did, I was joking. Didn't know people were on edge, and learned jokes aren't taken well here.
Well all the jokes can go to whatever chat channel
Lol why'd you give up
I know
ill review my textbook
cause im bored
the problem was you were "solving" two questions at once
Dude just really pulled out "It's just a joke" card
indeed
i think its zoom
to "see if you could do it"
sorry sir
How would you figure out if a sine or cosine would better model it? Any sources or general help. My teacher said cosine is x and sine is basically y
can someone help explain to me why the answer is c and not d?
it is not c?
no, it is c. he's asking why it's c and not d
per square mile of land means 2052/(3.5 * 2.75)
can someone help explain how to do this?
no its the land
xD
sorry, I can't read
LOL
wats dat
look up unit circle
there's a nice unit circle pinned to this channel
so pi/4 = 45 degrees?
Can someone help me with question 4
yeah it is shrind
how do I type 5pi/6
Well, ig the teacher won't care.
either
sine
bro i dont know any of this
its cosine for the simpler one
im just tryna get it done
well which would better
be used for it
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/326138757474680852/712775164563030028/unknown.png I asked this earlier, I think he was trying to help me
cosine
Why though
what a weird question
My teacher just explained cosine as x and sine as y
my teahcer is weird
teacher*
@supple gazelle do you agree or disagree?
Agree, but still confused on excactly how. Like describe the difference between the 2
Like I see it
but in words
there is no difference - you can use sin or cosine for either
just remember sin(x) = cos(pi/2-x)
so sin graph is cosine shifted by pi/2
But it ask me which would be better to model the displacement of the spring, and why
yeah, you need to go through this:
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/trig-function-graphs
@dusty coral he doesn't know why it's cosine
yeah, cause it starts off at something besides y = 0 at x=0
Can someone check if this is right? I've never done it with a decimal, I've only practiced with fractions before
,calc 0.4318^2
Result:
0.18645124
Well, that's 0.5682 squared I believe
and I don't think she wants us to square it
Oh nope
thats not that
,calc 1-0.18645124
Result:
0.81354876
and I just realized it's supposed to be like this:
(*typo: max height)
I did cos^2 + sin^2 = 1^2
,calc √(0.81354876)
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Syntax error in part "√(0.81354876)" (char 1)
,calc sqrt(0.81354876)
Result:
0.90196937863766
This should be the final ans if i haven't messed it up
@supple gazelle well post your work
My eyes hurts from not seeing cos (theta)
And you should have squared 0.43...
Bc its the value for sin(theta) not for sin²(theta)
Uh its one of those questions
lol, but its true 😭
Well you cant fight against your school, so you have to follow it
Or the education system
Do you know what csc (x) is
no 😭
Al𝟛dium:
Stands for Caesar salad croutons, btw.
@supple gazelle so you just gotta find sin(x)
There is even one unnecessary info but oh well
Are you here? @supple gazelle
Yeah, I got a call hold on
Can someone just give me the answer for 4
give you the answer?
Hell no @languid swan.
It goes against the rules
Lmao
Its now a meme on this server @upper karma
My man
Who the hell invented this useless crap
What should being a professional wrestler have to do with this crap
I simply dont have time for this. Thats why I just want an answer
Uhh that question again..
tHat qUesTIOn aGain
am I wrong?
Seriously stupid dumb teacher stresses me out over such useless crap man
When am I gonna use this? Never. My brothers finishing up college and he told me hes never had to use geometry again after like 9th grade
Like thats absurd man. Theres no point in dis
uhhh
so its 138 then? Because that makes the most sense to me
Also im smart just not in geo or trig
Yes I do
segment TV is not
it's even slightly crooked if you look at it
it's not a straight line (like SU is)
anyway, yes
it's 138
arc VU is 138 deg
good job
you need to trust more people on the internet
especially those who promise you candy
but seriously, if arc SVU = 180
it's obvious, isn't it?
also, you shouldn't trust that diagram
trust the numbers instead
Aight I’m sorry for the suspicision and how I acted
Trig got me stressed af
I hate doing trig especially when I’m fasting man
But you know what I appreciate your help sir
sure thing
sometimes they make these diagrams all crooked so you won't use a protractor like a noob
if you would, that would probably be a 105-120 degree angle
not 42
if they're trig related, sure
but I'm about to turn in for the night, so I can't promise anything
yes
I would make the 34.25 look more like .25
because it looks like .24
but, yeah
the second one looks like you got the formula wrong
WX is not the hypothenuse
this is wrong
the hypothenuse is the largest side in a triangle
I agree
I
I'm not sure if this counts here
I'm actually trying to calculate some thrust vectors for a rocket autopilot for a game, but at the end it's funny what it all boils down to
How to solve for cos(a) * sin(a) = n?
I've tried to google but I find googling math in general hard
cos(a) sin(a) = 1/2 sin(2a)
If it was cos/sin I'd just spin it around and make it a tangent but it's *
Damn
Why is that?
huh
thats the identity that you can use to solve this question
Yeah, ik
I'm still wondering
Apparently you derive that from the fact that sin (α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β
However I can't find why that is
Like
Why sin (α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β
@covert spindle ever heard of eulers formula
@raw jay ok
yeah, so just pick some x values to plot
choose ones that are whole numbers and aren't too difficult to calculate
ok
1/2 since its just sqrt(4)
4^(1/2)=2 so the point is (1/2,2)
ok
next
would be
uh
lol
@versed river
would i get it wrong
if i did mine
no you wouldn't
but you would need 5 points remember
you only said (0,1), (1,4)(2,16)(3,64) which is 4 points
64
isnt even on the graph
i have 4 currently
with the graph you helped me with
can you help me get 1 more
Sneaky:
have you done negative exponents in class?
well
lol
yes
i dont wanna get grounded
<@&268886789983436800> @raw jay
bro..
And offering money will get you banned.
nope
sorry
it's just in an hour and im gonna die
nice try but yeah thats not right
hmm if you havent done negative exponents and 64 isnt on the graph...
Yeah. And especially not on a test.
yeah?
yes
ok, good so g(3/2)=4^(3/2)=?
24 @versed river
yes
its not 24... what did you do to get 24? if your answer has changed from 24 just tell me that
4^2 is 4 squared yes
ok
im not seeing what this has to do with 4^(3/2) though
it has to be 24?
simplifying it
thats what im getting it
unless
10.66 repeating
$4^{\frac{3}{2}}=(4^{3})^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Sneaky:
its neither of those
;-;
you agree with what ive written above?
yes
so, thats $64^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Sneaky:
which is?
$64^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{64}=?$
Sneaky:
$=\pm8$
AMD:
yes. we're just talking about +8 here ofc since its the principal root, but that gives us a point
thats not right
.
so your points were (0,1)(1/2,2)(1,4)(3/2,8) and (2,16)
yes
smh
im sorry
its midnight
i have gotten like 3 hours of sleep this week
working 40 hours..
that looks much better
good job then
Anyone here late at night able to help with trig
Are you good with trig?
Could you help your boy out with number 5
what the fuck is this even saying
how do you define an angle by 4 points 
my question exactly
wait ok
the L is meant to be the angle symbol i think?
so it's $\angle MKN$ they're talking about
Ann:
@stray hedge bro they literally are congruent
we do not give out answers here
do you know how to find the length of an arc given its radius and angle?
might wanna refresh yourself on that
if you're measuring angles in degrees, it'll be $L = \frac{\pi r \theta}{180}$
Ann:
I can’t even see the image
Same lol
Is something up with discord
My internet is fine
Maybe mobile discord specifically
i'm reproducing the formula in plaintext because of discord's current hiccup with images
You think you can explain what your doing to solve the question
Because I think that’ll help me understand the best
Discord is buggin is anyone else having trouble seeing msgs
Then-
you have three quantities (arc length, angle and radius) and a formula relating them
two of them are known and you need to find the third
did you expect me to provide you with a complete worked solution or what
i'm trying to boil this down to something you could do on your own
That is exactly what I expected
The other guy did it
wasted my precious 20 mins girl
boo hoo fucking hoo
i would appreciate help 🙂
Shouldn’t have trusted someone with that ugly pfp lmfao
raider, i can tell you the answer.
yeah man
Number 5 bro
Wait how
look up / apply the formula for arc length
do you know the definitions of those terms?
where are you stuck?
what does it mean for 2 angles to be complementary?
uhh idk
kinda
yeah
look up the definitions of those terms.
and attempt the problem again
(since its kinda necessary to know what the question is asking for)
can you help me answer it so I can reflect back
and put it into terms
of what each one means
try to look up the info yourself, the definitions are relatively simple and come back if you still don't understand them.
same person different account?
there's two of them
or is it a coincidence that two people are stuck on the same question at the same time
and are posting in the same server
i like girls
Where can I get co ordinate geometry help?
Just post it here
Im pretty sure it belongs to geometry
I need to find the angle in blue. The middle angle is 112 and the upper one is 56 degrees
can somebody explain how i can find the angle?
the "blue angle" is ambiguous
draw a slight arc from one arm to the other arm of the angle you're trying to find
^ drawing a circle like that implies angle around a point which is 360°
I need to find the angle in blue. The middle angle is 112 and the upper one is 56 degrees
ok thats much better
yeah kind of messed up
consider properties of tangents and angle sum of a quadrilateral
hm i still dont get it really :/
wait
is the middle one the same as the blue or am i just stupid
some yes but i dont know how to apply them in this case
list them
Ohh wait
forgot to mention that they also seem to want you to apply the inscribed angle theorem
there are two 90 degree angles there right?
Ohhh
that makes it much easier lol
i did not realise that
to justify that that is indeed the center of the circle
Yeah
Well yeah, I got the answer.
Thank you!
This geometry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into circle theorems. It contains plenty of examples and practice problems.
Here is a list of topics:
- If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord into two congruent segments. The point of conta...
Well you aren't retarded bc you cant answer 1 question
No I’m retarded people at my age can solve this easily
@pastel trench anyways, notice that when circle C touches x-axis at A the coordinate of A should be (0, y) and B (x, 0)
Just reasoning
Can you continue from here?
Because the radius just touches x and y axis
What
Idk I tried to make a quadratic equation but ends up being maths error
Since it passes thru p(8,4)
And it touches y and x axis
So x coord of centre is equal to radius and so do y coord
So x coord is equal to y coord
And for that I set up an equation where
(x-8)^2 + (x-4)^2 is equal to x
And it forms quadratic equation
2x^2-25x+80=0
And I got math error
@upper karma please help don’t go
Literally crying stuck for several hours
Idk how to visualise
Ok
Like this?
@upper karma
That’s how I deduced y=x
Because y=r&x=r
And from here I’m stuck
Ok nvm I give up : (
Too overwhelming : (
(x-8)^2 + (x-4)^2 is equal to x
@pastel trench why this tho
Im back
Its being used
@glacial finch well its a simple pythagoream problem
We dont do that here
What’s the formula?
“Passes through” doesn’t mean “has its center at”
Good morning everyone.
Given a point A=(x_A, y_A), what is the angle of A and the origin when compared to the x axis?
ight i need help
the problem is that the book is in spanish and idk if yall gonna understand
any help guys
What's S? Surface area?
Well, what's the surface area of the shape?
616
Lol fair, that is the surface area of the shape
I mean, can we find it in terms of the dimensions?
Since you don't have x, we can just use x as if we did have it
I don't think I know that one!
idk its in my textbook so
What's b, p, h in this case?
Yes
i need some help
Post it
@vague berry Post it
ok
1 and 3
only
i need help help i couldnt study cuz i had to take care of my gramz shes sick
@upper karma @upper karma
@vague berry Sure, what have you tried so far?
you did 1 successfully as well, from the looks of it
really?
yea it looks fine
i cant do it in that 3rd step
