For first one
You've got a point, all you need to make a line is slope, the hint for slope is given as well
Find the slope of required line and write the equation
Remember $m\cdot m_{\perp}=-1$
Al𝟛dium:
@tidal river
What is that you don't understand?
how would I make the slope with a point
You need to get the slope using the information provided in form of it's perpendicular line
So how would I do that
Al𝟛dium:
@somber coyote this is how
We don't tell answers here
isnt there an equation I can plug it into
Are you taking a test?
@upper karma https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry
it was a simple question, books on this subject definitely exist so i was just looking for a good one
Try SL Loney
A self-contained introduction to finite dimensional vector spaces, matrices, systems of linear equations, spectral analysis on euclidean and hermitian spaces, affine euclidean geometry, quadratic form
Try SL Loney
@earnest echo will check that out
isnt there an equation I can plug it into
@tidal river do you read what we say?
@fossil kestrel yes this is literally linear algebra lol
@fossil kestrel
Vectors and Coordinate Systems
Giovanni Landi, Alessandro Zampini
Pages 1-16
first chapter of that book
rofl
argue with me some more pls
and then link a book that agrees with me
im not arguing
i said vectors
4 times?
then you get linked a book
and the first fucking chapter is called vectors
i just wanted a book with coordinate or analytic geometry on the title
i honestly don't know what to say.
THE FIRST CHAPTER IS CALLED VECTORS
which is WHAT I TOLD YOU 4 TIMES?
it does say linear algebra and analytic geometry
calm down poly lol
no i am so fucking annoyed people telling me that "no this is not the case"
and then they link a book
which agrees with everything i said
and you still can't admit i am right
that is one of the main books
im not saying it has nothing to do with linear alg or vectors
obviously if it is analytic geometry it will be somewhat related to linear algebra
its certainly related
@fossil kestrel you picked a fucking book from 1942 with no table of contents.
find the table of contents for that book.
dude i dont need to do anything
i just told you thats one of the classic reference books
yeah you do, you picked some book THAT NOBODY HAS EVER USED in the history of the world
no it's not
why would u read an outdated book
i've literally never heard of it
what do you mean "classic"
rudin is classic
spivak is classic
when there are loads available
that is the reference book that people in a lot of south American countries use
i know there are newer books
like if ur gonna read a whole textbook at least make sure it is a good one
but the concepts are the same
you know a book is shit because nobody buys it and therefore there is no preview for it
hence you can't look at the table of contents
its not the only version
just admit you're wrong and that my first suggestion was the one you were looking for please.
What i am wrong about? are you saying analytic geometry doesnt exist?
bruh
no i'm saying that my suggestions of vectors in R^2 was the one you were looking for.
just let him be wrong man
i understand i could find equations relating to curves on the Cartesian plane on linear algebra books
if he wants spend a lot of time reading a worse book when loads of better one are accessible then he can
yes, and i gave you one
then you found a book with "analytic geometry" in the name
which has the first chapter on exactly what i recommended
then instead of saying thanks for recommending that from the start
you argued
thanks for the recommendation
but why do people call it analytic geometry then
or coordinate geometry
nobody calls it that, maybe in middle school where they introduce you to the cartesian plane
analytic geometry isnt only cartesian geometry
"here's how you plot y = x"
people do call it that, i have other books on "coordinate geometry"
is it just a sub part of linear algebra
what you are referring to is R^2 in linear algebra.
that is
2 dimensions in the real number plane
@fossil kestrel you do realize linear algebra is a very big field
R^2/R^3 is what you learn about in middle school and high school
you even learn about it in university
then later on you learn about abstract vector spaces.
yeah i mean im a beginner honestly didnt mean to piss you haha
here at uni we have a subject called analytic geometry
and we deal with equations of lines and curves such as parabolas
someone mentioned midpoint between 2 points and also distance between 2 points
parabolas are not linear algebra
distance between and midpoint of 2 points definitely is
what do you do with parabolas
but what do you do with them
let me check
I have to go to my computer 1 sec
for example
- the center of a hiperbola is the point (2;-2) and one of its vertices is the point (0,-2). If the length of its right side (translating from spanish dont know the word for this) is 8, find the equation of the hiperbola, the length of its conjugate axis (also not sure about this) and its excentricty
maybe we just call it different
in highschool we dont call it analytic geometry i think
you learn this in a intermediate algebra book
umm he is just stating things which are taught at a certain level
that has conic sections
the section on this is called exactly that: "conic sections"
,w conic section
isn't it kind of obvious that the education system this person is in isn't the same as yours?
in highschool we dont call it analytic geometry i think
@fossil kestrel trust me, im Spanish and i have seen Analytic geometry problems
@upper karma he asked for suggestions
any american/english/european book will cover this as "conic sections"
i dont know
well ill get some linear algebra books too and read up on that
im doing the entrance exams for engineering here and we have algebra, analytic geometry, arithmetic and trigonometry
sounds like what you are really looking for is a precalculus book
that also has linear algebra in R^2 in it
sure but like, your being pretty vehement over... things that arose from a different education system and naming conventions?
they usually cover trig, lin alg in R^2, and conic sections
Nah, get a proper linalg book.
I honestly don't understand why the course precalculus exists.
It's broken on so many levels.
Then, yk, remove cyclic geometry and teach trigonometry.
wtf is cyclic geometry
Circle theorems and stuff.
lol
nobody really learns that tbh
they may learn it at one point
but it's usually way before trig
Replace that with trigonometry.
and it's never in depth
so a precalc book would cover trig, this r^2 stuff, basic algebra and arithmetic?
no
A 3-week unit being spread into an entire course's worth of content.
you need to know "arithmetic"
"arithmetic" is literally grades 1-8.
a good precalc book will cover linear algebra in R^2, conic sections, trigonometry and complex numbers
i would say
all the stuff without variables, basically.
I mean, how many people actually remember the content from precalc?
Well, I'm about to say, not including yourself.
i learnt a lot of nice identities in precalc
that a lot of people in calc 2 don't know about
because they just don't know trig
Could it be introduced elsewhere?
I think @upper karma can read Spanish @fossil kestrel
its kind of overwhelming to deal with all these math subjects
I'm a fan of integrated maths, aka algebra and geometry in each course.
What can i help on
i havent done math since high school (8 years ago)
@fossil kestrel you should try khanacademy.org
https://discordapp.com/channels/268882317391429632/326138757474680852/740692949041414174 heres what i have to learn at uni, the program, so im kinda looking for a book that covers everything
if you go from "arithmetic" to "linear algebra", there probably isn't a (good) book that does that
^
you would need multiple books, probably 2-3
maybe exclude arithmetic
thats the easiest subject we have
its mainly just conversion and water tank problems and stuff like that
im a book hoarder
i was just asking out of curiosity
how much time did you really waste lol
none, he enjoyed every second of this
botn, can you stop writing nonsense
prank
memes
relax
chill
honestly chill
did I get it right
No @upper karma lol
close enough
It's not a book but I think you can use that
Welcome to my math notes site. Contained in this site are the notes (free and downloadable) that I use to teach Algebra, Calculus (I, II and III) as well as Differential Equations at Lamar University. The notes contain the usual topics that are taught in those courses as wel...
Paul's notes are good
oh ok
this looks nice thanks
https://www.fiuni.edu.py/290-2/ on the first semester were supposed to have something called mathematical analysis?
i think that has something to do with calculus
don't let polynomial see this
Can you translate the sylabus?
i can try
1st semester: mathematical analysis i, physics i, technical communication i, system architecture, intro to programming
Análisis Matemático is probably not what we call "analysis" in english
and afaik, Mathematical Analysis is something you would call as Advanced Calculus, which the topics that are discussed there is basically Calculus but more rigorous
2nd: math analysis ii, physics ii, tech communication ii, discrete mathematics, intro to programming ii
Not quite sure tho, since as Botn stated, it might be different as what it's usually called in English
and I'm afraid this might be kinda off-topic to be discussed here
oh yeah sorry
Maybe we can continue in #math-discussion instead
it's a first semester engineering syllabus so I doubt it's analysis
@fossil kestrel analysis 1: https://notendur.hi.is/vae11/Þekking/principles_of_mathematical_analysis_walter_rudin.pdf
@fossil kestrel analysis 2: https://59clc.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/real-and-complex-analysis.pdf
but it depends on what it means by analysis
yeah im not sure either
@fossil kestrel for analysis i highly reccomend zorich
it can be used as analysis book
and as calculus book as well
(but for the second one you will need additional material)
is diagonal reflections more advanced than horizontal/vertical reflections?
things start to get suddenly complicated here
It's just as easy. If you're reflecting over y = x, exchange the x and y coordinates
(1, 2) would become (2, 1)
what
depends on what you mean by diagonal
do you mean specifically the lines that make 45° angles with the axes? yeah that's not hard to do from a computational pov
If you mean perfectly diagonally then you just have to flip the x and ys as i said, but other than that is more difficult
theres no explanation whyyy
oh i see
why flip that isnt logical!!!!!
There are a couple of ways to do it
no i mean how does that work?? why flip the coordinates
@austere dragon would it help if i made you an interactive desmos thing for why flipping the coords reflects over the line y=x?
what is desmos
also sry im on pc no mic 
and am not english not english very well
It's a tool that helps you visualize mathematics
ow
It's a graphing calculator with extra things to help you learn
here, you can drag the red point $(x_0, y_0)$ and desmos will automatically drag the green point $(y_0, x_0)$ along with it
Ann:
alrighty
For the line y = -x, it's slightly different. The point $(x_0, y_0)$ becomes $(-y_0, -x_0)$
Jack Papel:
how do you even read this equation?
why is "y = x" equals 0 intercept and 1 slope? what?
Can you graph y=x
why is "y = x" equals 0 intercept and 1 slope? what?
y = 1x + 0
does that make it clearer
Analytically that +c part is the intercept
In y=x you don't have, therefore for no intercept
@earnest echo no intercept ≠ intercept at 0
please don't conflate "zero" with "none"
Okay, I should have worded better
what about "y = -2" how do we know theres no slope??
🤯 awsome
if it's "y = constant" then that's a slope of zero yes
what would it look like
wait how many slope for a perfect vertical??
"how many slope"
perfect horizontal is 0
oh yeah
wait but why is 1 slope equal perfect diagonal??
that just doesnt make any sense at all
shouldnt the input be some kind of angle
What do you think slope is?
uhh rotating line idk
no.
slope = Δy/Δx
or to put it another way, for a line connecting two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ the slope is given by $$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
Ann:
I think so too
@upper karma
Perhaps somewhere else on the paper it says that the two are equal?
Or it could be a typo

@austere dragon I understand you’re having trouble with some maths, if you want, I can give you some one-on-one to give you a jump in school.
i'm somewhat confused
vertical angles are congruent, so a = a but how does 180 degrees come into play?
180° is the angle made by two rays that are part of the same line
the center point?
so that line "f" is split into 2 rays "j" and "k"
and together k and j make 180 degrees
so how does it correlate to angles x and a
the angle between the rays you call k and j is 180 degrees
this 180-degree angle is made of three parts
x, a, and 90°, in that order starting from the bottom ray
i see
so
what you're saying is
the only thing that's stopping line "f" from being 180 degrees are those 3 angles
x, a and 90
oh lol
it's 180 degrees because they're all on the same line?
sorta like a protractor?
the shape of it atleast
it's 180 degrees because it's half of a full turn
it's 180 degrees because this is literally what a 180 degree angle is almost by defn
right
but the line itself is 180 degrees, each angle has it's own measurement
that all add up to 180 degrees
right?
What's the issue here?
you're overthinking this, leak
aren't all lines straight in geometry
yes
What if I say curved line
Higher geometry?
that isnt mathematically consistent
in euclidean geometry
it is like mixing everyday usage with mathematical definitions
Well, in pre University section
You don't really need this much confusion
Just keep it simple
Oh ye true
Youchers
a "curved line" is just a curve
Looks right unless you got number 4 wrong I didn't compute
what
what do you mean by unless you got number 4 wrong
@summer spire could you see if I got this problem right
Mentally exhausted so forgive me. But, why is one divided and one multiplied?
Mentally exhausted so forgive me. But, why is one divided and one multiplied?
@gusty swan Cosine is defined as $$\frac{adj. leg}{hyp}$$
Max Hetfield:
In the first triangle, you have the angle, the adjacent leg but the hypotenuse is unknown
So you got $$cos(25) = \frac{12}{u}$$
So you multiply by u both sides, and then divide by cos(25) both sides; that way you solve for u
In the second triangle, you have the angle, the hypotenuse, but the adjacent leg is unknown
So you got $$cos(35) = \frac{a}{22.5}$$
ah okay that makes more sense now
dont know why I struggle with these functions so much
thank you
So you got $$cos(35\degree) = \frac{a}{22.5}$$
@sour jacinth Then multiply both sides by 22.5 to solve for a
thank you
@gusty swan You're welcome
Just remember the corresponding sides that define a trigonometric function and you will be okay
And rest, mental fatigue is a thing...
@sour jacinth 3 more units and 27 days to finish it
Well, but that's different
I meant work in time blocks
If you're tired today, call it a day and continue tomorrow with a fresh mind
if its similar the sides have the same length proportion
Yes
You don't need a formula for that
Just using your logic will do
Do you want me to guide you?
you need to know what "the perimeter of XYZ is 27 cm"
yes please
ie what the perimeter of a triangle is
first get the total perimeter of the small triangle
and be able to write out that the sum of XYZ's side lengths is equal to 27 cm, as an equation
@shell halo What's a perimeter?
a perimeter is when you add all the sides together
yep
The problem states that X + Y + Z = 27, right?
yes
18
Now, hold there. What characteristic do similar triangles have?
Hint: Something about their sides...
similar triangles have identical shape but different size
similar triangles have identical shape but different size
@shell halo Yeah
So basically, when you divide the length of the corresponding side they all have the same ratio
For example is ABC is a triangle, XYZ is a triangle twice the size of ABC
If you divide X/A, you will get 2
Y/B = 2
Z/C = 2
ok, im trying to understand//
It's like you took all the sides of ABC and enlarged them by the same factor
ok, im trying to understand//
@shell halo If you don't at any step, just tell me
If you divide X/A, you will get 2
@sour jacinth Does this make sense for you?
no, how did u get 2??
no, how did u get 2??
@shell halo It's just an example
What I want you to get is that simmilar triangles are scaled versions
yes i undertand that
OK, now let's go to the final part
If the perimeter A+B+C = 18
And let's suppose that triangle XYZ is twice the size of triangle ABC
Is it true that X + Y + Z can be rewritten as 2A + 2B + 2C?
i think it can be because its twice the size of triangle ABC
Exactly
yep
Now, do you remember what's the definition of perimeter?
yep i do
perimeter is kind of like the distance around the shape and to calculate it, you add up all the sides of the shape
2 (A+B+C) = 2 (ABC Perimeter) = 2 (18) = 36
Then XYZ perimeter in our example would be 36
You with me?
yes i am, do you want me to solve it
yes sorry, i needed to do something quickly
@shell halo OK, so notice something
In our example (XYZ Perimeter)/(ABC Perimeter) = 36/18 = 2
yep
It has the same scale as the sides
So the ratio between the perimeters (XYZ/ABC = 2) will be the same as the ratio of the corresponding sides (X/A = Y/B = Z/C = 2)
Agree?
yep
So, back to the problem to finally solve it
The thing in your problem is that we don't know the ratio
But we do know the perimeters
yep
So using the perimeters, can you get me the ratio between the 2 triangles?
am i right?
@shell halo No, but only because you're using the data from my example
Get the perimeters from your problem
What's the perimeter of XYZ in your problem?
27
What's the perimeter of ABC in your problem?
27:18
Yes!
Let's simplify 27/18 a bit
Divide numerator and denominator by 9
By 9 even better
Relax, I'll wait
3/2
@shell halo So we know that (Perimeter XYZ)/(Perimeter ABC) = 3/2
Right?
So the ratio between the perimeters (XYZ/ABC) will be the same as the ratio of the corresponding sides (X/A = Y/B = Z/C)
Now, remember this?
So this means that each side of XYZ is equal to scale each side of ABC by a factor of 3/2
okay
XY=z
Then z = 6 * (3/2)
A sec
alrighty
Back
so XY=9
@shell halo Yes
And you can do the same for the other sides
Get me x for example
and we can check if we are correct by adding them and see if they add up 27
and we can check if we are correct by adding them and see if they add up 27
@shell halo I really like this person
Told you that you didn't need a formula
All you have to remember is that similar triangles have a fixed ratio between their corresponding sides
You're welcome! Take care!

you cant do much with an ip
But like idk what he'd do with it anyway yeah
what can u?
Oh are you gonna call John Xbox and get his acc banned
hahaha
so are you actually serious about needing help with a problem?
he left

banned him too, not alright to do that
Sure ask

Woah
I'm not inclided to click that


I'm pretty hannah is alt of that guy who got banned
Whos raiding lmao
where did they go?

spooky
So we don't get to do a circle problem? :(
but what he gets by just knowing some ips lol
I really wanted to know about the circle thing
uh

the txt was their dm logs
oh ok
Yo, no this is hard. I just wanted to like work out a radius from a circumference, man
C'mon you are all knowing problem solver
Do you know the answer?
Yeah, I've solved it
Though I have one unsolved problem as well
I'll post it later after giving some thought
@earnest echo Am I bad at math if I got none of those?
None of what?
The given answers lol
These are actually challenging problems, it's from entrance of one the premier institutes in India
So, no that doesn't make you bad
Alittle guidance
what exactly confuses you
is this an exam
Nah
screenshot the full page
Is an assignment
@sinful stag what confuses you?
I can’t understand what the equation represent , like an elipptic or circle or hyperbola
well. what will be if a and b are both 1?
So the curve can never pass through origin
They simply scale in x and y directions (sort of)
And normal is constantly changing like that
But why are we discussing origin?
i just pointed out it, it is not really crucial here
Agree
Normal to curve is constantly changing at all other points , we can’t determine the x and y intercept with the given info imo
You can..........first start by figuring out what's the equation of the normal at the given point
Youll have it in terms of x,a and b
can anyone help me with some questons

@arctic vortex
what about his one?
Correct
Are these for a test
nope it is homework
This is literally 2 ratios
my final test is tomorrow
Yes its correct
yay
I think you can do it alone
The reasoning of why its congruent
You have 2 sides congruent
so how could it be ASA
@arctic vortex
Goddamit hobo, I wanted to do a funny
Is there any other thing in your options saying side, angle and side
What are you talking about
@little osprey where
We dont give answers
its parallel to that line right
also u have that point
so u can find the equaton for the parallel line passing through P
i found 0, -4
show work
Did you find anymore

‘Select 1 or more’ usually indicates a multiple-answer question
Yes
let me check it
Essentially all they need to do is find a line u that satisfies the following conditions
-parallel to t
-passes through point P
the closest i can find is -4,-3
@arctic vortex walk me through how you solved it.
That way I can better understand what you’re doing and if it’s wrong / how I can help.
i found more
so i found the slope
of the line
2/1
then i just went 2 up
and 1 left
and i foud more
see
\
The slope is not +2
true
left is positive or negative?
i think its negative since its moving down
left is negative
man let him figure it out
figure what out
because its going like \
Yes
like this \
That’s an indicator that the line is negative
If it descends from left to right then it is in fact a negative slope.
yes
What is the equation of the parallel line that intersects point P
like y=mx+b
which is linear equation
yes it is
My strategy would be to find the line and then input some points... process of elimination on the answer choices.
That is the slope not the equation
y=1/-2x
nope
u have to put the constant bit at the end
Well think about it, what is the equation with the same slope as the first line but intersecting a lower point?
y=1/-2x-6
now check your work.
The point p is a point (4, -6)
r u sure
When you plug in 4, do you get -6? @arctic vortex
plug 4 in what
With this new equation
no
Good
o
So now try again.m
ok
You have the right slope, so now just find the right constant term.
okh
The new equation needs to be able to put out -6 when you put in 4.
And it has to have the same slope as the first line.
So, where do you start?
what

😩
yea
In other words:
The new line has to satisfy the following:
-must have same slope to t
-must pass through point P
P:(4,-6)
The slope of the first line is -1/2
yeah
Better?
hi guys im back
Another way is to start with the slope and plug in 4, then solve for the constant term c given the output and input of the line.
(-6 = (-1/2)(4) + c.)
hello
Make any progress?
i had to pee
fascinating
😆
its good except for the constant term
is the constant term the B
yeah its b
ohhhhh
just plug in the point for x and y and solve for b.
Or use point slope like seagull suggested
-4
ya
y=-x/2-4
ya thats right
yay
Can anyone help me with this question?
is that sector area
I think so
i think i can help u
split it into 2 parts right
oh nvm i do not know this
wait what
sorry
Interesting question
@upper karma ikr
so the entire shaded part is made up of 1 segment of big circle and 1 segment of small circle
then its ez pz since u know area of segment
correct
wait what?
how
I know the angle but I don't know how to take that into account
damn
the pixels
Resolution died there
xD
Well it is two overlapping segments
they overlap so
help meeeeeee
This little line helps me a bunch
yea
I think it helps me too
mhm
lets start with the circle with 2r radius
mhm
area of a segment is equals to A = 1/2 ( theta - sin(theta)) r^2
The segment on that circle is actually the smaller segment.
(2r)^2 * (a/360) - 2rsin(a)
ok cya bro
cya broski
ohhhh
👌👋
(2r)^2 * (a/360) - 2rsin(a)
i understand
This is the area of the sector, right?
lol
