wooooah
a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 0
so 2a + 1 + 2b + 1 = 2c + 1
and so 2a + 2b + 1 = 02c
what?
oops*
slow down
2a + 2b + 1 = 2c
therefore 2=3
~~a^2 + 2a + 1 + b^2 + 2b + 1 = c^2 + 2c + 1
as shown in the picture above
we know (for the first triangle):
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
which is:
a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 0
you can rearrange the equation of the second triangle to this:~~
no im reacting to your mistake
ohh okay
the slow down was in reference to you typing 0 instead of 2c
thanks all
Given the location of each point on this graph would there be anyway to 'guesstimate' pi? Would the amount of blue points / amount of orange points work?
assuming that blue is supposed to be a quarter circle, it should actually be 4 * (# of blue points) / (total # of points)
When talking about the frequency of a wave, is it per 2pi radians? That's consider one cycle, right? So the frequency of sine and cos waves are both 1?
well you were almost right
the frequency can also be calculated with period by this formula
where f is the frequency, and T is the period
yes yes i see
the period will change accordingly to the coefficient of x
of course
i am trying to solve for the frequency of my wave
this one
and i was trying to calculate the frequency off 2pi radians but now i recognise that does not make sense
ah but now i am confused again
what does this mean?
you hae to make it into the form asin(bx + c) + d first to find the period
only then can you calculate the frequency
the frequency is how many times the wave repeats per period?
doesn't that mean there is a 1:1 ratio
ratio to what?
so for example in my case
the period is 8pi radians
and the wave occurs once from 0 to 8pi radians
so its frequency is 1
uh no, thats not how frequency is defined
ok good
in short, frequency just means how long, will it takes for an event to repeat it self again
so my wave's frequency is $$ \frac{1}{8\pi} $$ ?
dlp
or you could also say that the wave repeats every 8pi seconds, but that doesnt really make much sense
unless more context is provided
not really
i mean, in my experience i just call it coefficient
i heard someone call it period too
not sure why
it'd be called a horizontal scale factor in graph transformation terms
b is frequency but it should be just multiplied by x not (x + C)
so a better representation is
y = A * sin(Bx + C) + D
that is... not tru
For C to represent the phase shift it absolutely has to be factored as sin(B(x+C))
if you write it as this, then C doesn't represent the phase shift, but instead C/B does
although, you gotta remember sometimes "graph transformations" can be applied to this concept of sin/cos graphs.
and tbe (x+/-c) is how the graph shifts horizontally
A: Amplitude
B: $\frac{2\pi}{period}$
C: Phase shift or horizontal translation
D: Sinusoidal Axis
Shen
true, true, but it really depends if you want phase shift as an angle or absolute value
if you use the model I showed phase shift is just absolute in terms of units
while in your model phase shift is in terms of radians relative to the wave
show your work
bro i threw my work away i was mad at this homework
hi, we have a triangle ABC, where AD is the bisctor of angle BAC, when is AD = AC?
thanks, how we can prove it?
you know how to do a two column proof?
I cannot do that atm sorry but thats what you should do
no..
aaa, i know how
but how i do in this case
AD=AD.
AD=AC.
aaaaa, <DAB=<DAC
if $\vec{a}$, $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ are unit vectors, then find the maximum value of $|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|^2 + |\vec{b} - \vec{c}|^2 + |\vec{c} - \vec{a}|^2$
What does "friend" mean?
how'd i go about doing this?
i think it's something to do with rewriting the things in the mod's
you'd have 2(a²+b²+c²)-2(ab.cos(alpha)+ bc.cos(beta)+ca.cos(gamma)
For maximum value let alpha=beta=gamma=π
Instead write
a.b+b.c+c.a=(a+b+c)²-(a²+b²+c²)
This is a cleaner way of doing it
So we'd have 9-|a+b+c|²
ABC is a triangle with property if AD is bisector of angle A and AD is congruent to AC, D \in BC.
E \in AD with angle ABD = angle CED.
prove that : BD=CE
I thought that was anime for some reason but wow thats cool!
that's volume of squares, not area \j
I think the "volume bit" was supposed to represent surface area
I think the \j means joking
ahhh sorry I only know the /s one which is sarcasm
How to do two column proof
1 column for statements, the other for their justification
when finding the area of a triangle with trig
is there kinda like 3 types of ways to solve the triangle with the same form if like all the info is given to you sides and angles
obv you would just use 1/2 bh but like for the sake of doing it with trig there would no?
So you're given a completely "solved" (all sides all angles) and want to find the area with the trig equations?
then yes there are technically 3 ways to find the area, since you can do it about any vertex. The actual math concepts are the same for all 3 vertices tho
i think yea
i just wanted to know like for a abs triangle with angles A B and C correspond with their lowercase letter, so 1/2bcsin(a) is also 1/2 absin(c)
Yep, so long as you use the 2 sides and the subtended angle between them
0.5absin(C) = 0.5bcsin(A) = 0.5acsin(B)
then you can prove law of cosines after that by mulipying by .5, divinging everything by abc and just flipping them over rite?
nah, why not ask here?
Have you drawn a diagram?
We don't give answers directly
Show your work, draw a diagram.
in situations where its less time for you
well, are you here to learn or get answers?
i know the outcome to answering that
yes, so do you know what to do?
i won't ask you ever again
bruh
@sly marlin
@sly marlin
@sly marlin
@sly marlin
bruh
Why are you just asking for the answer
if you already knew how to do it, you can do it yourself. If you don't, here's your chance to show your work.
why is this such a big deal to you
I don't care about giving answers.
and helping is more time wasted
i notice your time is limited
based on the fact that you are also in school
guilt tripping people into giving you answers wouldn't work
so are you going to draw a diagram?
did they really throw a tantrum?
idk, they aren't putting in their effort, I'm not giving away answers just because someone asked for it.
yeah ik, im referencing the 4 pings in a row lol
probably then
I had to translate this one so hopefully everything's correct:
You have a right triangle ABC, AB being hypotenuse. Then you draw an inscribed circle with a center I and a point U on BC, where BC is tangent to the circle. What is the ratio of |AC| : |BC| if angles CAU and CBI are the same
I found out that triangles BUI and CAU are the same size, because their angles are the same and |CU| = |UI|
Then I managed to get this, but i'm not sure what to do now
(sorry for the bad drawing)
Triangles BUI and CAU are the same, i think
Aren't all internal angles the same?
didnt read the last bit of the problem
Oh, alright
I tried but I couldn't move all variables to one side
...maybe I don't have to?
Oh you were right
I used pythagorean theorem but assigned a = 1
I swear i tried this before but I guess i made a mistake or something, haha
thanks
nice
Here in the qn, how do we find where the line charge is? Sorry for poor quality image
when doing trig i was wondering if you could solve a missing side of a triangle by hand
Lets say we got angle g = 50 degrees and opposite side of angle g = 15.
could we solve hypotenuse
by hand with no calculator
yes, though you'd need a calc to find the actual numerical distance unless you approximate
how do you solve by approximatin
sin40 ~ sin45
actually no, there's a quicker way
sin50 = hyp/15 -> hyp = 15sin50 ~15sin45 = 15/sqrt(2)
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Undefined symbol sin50
hello everyone
where can i find trigonometry exercises with answers ?
generic math txtbook
guys can you help with khan?
@late ibex if you don't post the problem and read #❓how-to-get-help , no.
If sin x - cos x = 1/3, what is (sin x)^3 + (cos x)^3?
What's your first step?
I dont know what you are talking about my older brother just asked me to send this question on the math server @dusky surge
Oh...
If your brother want help from the server, he might wanna do the question with us together.
he is now sleeping lol
I am confused on how to solve this triangle
as it asys that (x+1)^2+(x-1)^2 = 4^2
or rather the result from that is incorrect
I had assumed that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 would work but it doesnt
Why doesn't it work?
@simple portal please don't multipost.
,rccw
hm
ok so at least from what i know
thats circle is inscribed in the triangle
do you know the properties of inscribed circles?
No
ok that certainly is a pickle
hm where should i start
ig lets start with the circle
what do you know about circles
preferably about the radius
Are all the angles 105 degrees?
no
are u familiar with relationships between corresponding/same side interior/vertical/alternate interior angles and that stuff
cos[(a-b)/2]**
oops wrote it wrong, but it would still be -2/2 leaving -1, -x
yes
hm I guess the pearson was wrong then
because it said the answer was cos(x) instead of cos(-x)
i found out its because cosine is an even function so any negatives become positives
The pearson was not wrong
what about the rightmost one
wdym
where did the 4 come from?
basically if I mark a side with one line, it's the same length as another side marked with one line
ye so 🤔
ditto for sides marked with 2 lines
oh wait
same problem with the middle one
is it 20 ? i mean i checked for formules how to do it but 2-3 examples all of uses diffrent formules
and middle one is 15 ?
Sorta, I didn't go to school for 2 weeks (due to health reasons) and I missed this exam
He's letting me make it up
but I have no idea how to do it
ded
thanks for the assist kill
It's kind of amazing when they just own up to it. You should be more savvy if you want to cheat.
Could someone help me with this homework
Ok thank you
So I tried to do this problem and my teacher said it was wrong is the answer not 7.33
what are you told about PQRS
you don't seem to be applying the correct properties of said shape which I'm inclined to assume is a parallelogram unless told otherwise
don't blindly set stuff equal to each other just because they're present
What do you know about points that are collinear? @neon hamlet
Do you know anything about them?
Exactly.
do you guys know how to do this?
Please don't ping individuals without their express permission.
Please read #❓how-to-get-help because it's not the only rule you broke.
Only after so, i can help you. @pure wigeon
so r and R are diffrent right?
Trying to help my sis with trig
What does it mean to find the general solution again?
as in to an equation with trig functions? Find a solution that encompasses every single value that could solve the equation using a parameter
instead of just in a certain interval
for instance the general solution to sin(x)=0 is x=n*pi for integer n
not sure where the +1 comes from in the second line but yes you would have to factor that to solve it
and you haven't found the general solution
90 degrees is a specific solution to cosx=0, a general solution must encompass all possible x that would solve it
90 is what the teacher gave them on the answer sheet 😂
Something seems amiss her classmates are confused aswell
ye lmao thats not a general solution.
but again that +1 came out of your ass and it should be sinx-3=0 in the 3rd line
just the same way you'd factor anything else right
theres a cosx common to both
so you can pull it out
and you're left with sin(x)-3
giving you cos(x)(sin(x)-3)
it doesnt actually matter that she factored it incorrectly anyway because both sinx=2 and sinx=3 have no sols lol
So there isn’t even a general solution?
i mean there is a general solution
since theres no solutions from the sinx=3 side
the general solution is just the sols to cosx=0
which turns out to be $\pm \frac{\pi}{2}+2n\pi$
Sneaky
or if you want $\pm 90^{\circ} +360n^{\circ}$
Sneaky
👍 once I explained that sinx=3 had no solution and to use cosx=0 she got it
Man I hope I never need to use trig professionally
lol gl if ur in engineering then
I should probably relearn factoring tho
or most stem subjects
Comp sci 👀
eh i have no clue where you'd use it there tbh
but im not old enough to be in uni so
fair
I was never good at trig
Failed honors pre Calc cuz of the trig and had to take it over the summer
The Sumer class was EASY AF
insufficient info
are you leaving out a crapton of info associated with the diagram??
well there's nothing fixing the positions of points U and C
is that your own diagram?
if its theirs and those lines were already green, then contextually their congruence is implied to be given
in fact you should tell me the actual/original question
and everything that comes with it
ok that's clearer
you need to fix some stuff
for you first statement, i'd recommend starting
RL bisects... on a new line. you also left out the 3rd letter on your angle
nothing you wrote in the second statement is really given
and nothing says anything about U and E being midpoints
you can omit it and instead of def of midpoint, you could use def of perp bisect
you'd need to state R is the midpoint PH using property of a (perp) bisector if you want to use that justification for that
you haven't applied
segment RL bisects <URC yet
and the perp bisector from the vertex also gives more information (which you may or not be allowed to apply directly)
If you have a right circular cone that's 8cm tall, with 8cm wide opening, what's the with of the cone 4 inches up?
would the ratio be constan between side and top?
so at 4cm up from the bottom, it would be 4 cm wide?
I'm writing a geometric proof. I have proven that Angles B, C and D are all 90 degrees. Can I say that angles B, C and D are right angles because of the Definition of right angles?
yes @nocturne thicket
could you help me with this question i got 2.6 radians idk if its right
@steep temple
show me your sketch
i got the same answer but show me your sketch @upper karma
correct
though i would use some sort of symbol to show i rounded my answer
but thats just because i care about that sort of stuff
maybe ceil or approximately equal to 2.6rad
thanks
You should draw a parallelogram and label the sides with the lengths
I did but I don’t know what to do from there
I got a) 7pi/5 and b) 43.98 cm can someone confirm
<@&286206848099549185> ^
what a monstrosity lmao
Can someone help me with this asap? Thanks!
I tried doing it, but i can't figure it out
@quartz zealot i can try helping. if you go into vc i can maybe share screen (but i cant talk rn)
@sweet dew is this a test?
no
It's in mymathlab, where my teacher assigns additional practice questions to help us
@lucid sage
how would i find the height/altitude of a square pyramid if i know the surface area is 132 ft and the base edge is 6
determine area of base,
then triangles,
slant height of those triangles and then pythag for altitude
can ihave help
@quartz zealot still stuck?
Just to make sure, 270 degrees is equal to -pi/2 radians right?
since -pi/2 radians is just equal to -90 degrees
no
270° is coterminal with -pi/2
that doesn't mean their values are equal
you effectively implied that 270 = -90
$270\deg = 270\deg \times \frac{\pi}{180\deg} \neq -\frac{\pi}{2}$
ℝamonov
no
This is pretty much rotating angles
But ig you can prove it by working out the angles until up there
@green frost
k
@upper karma never learned about rotating angles but i ended up proving it like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692287737147162664/797117196370313236/20210108_165846.jpg
Yeah that's how i said to prove it
@upper karma i answered you on the other channel. Don't multipost, read #❓how-to-get-help
where i cant find it
@halcyon cipher is that a test
No it’s classwork for today
Want me to check the answers already written?
@odd blade this channel is occupied
Please move to a free one
Ok
I’m sorry I’m dumb, but I need an explanation of how when you x15 it becomes 12.
6 (sorry for disturbing)
because that's the approximate value when you multiply
15 and tan(40°)
How do you x tan (40)
tan(40°) using a calculator
Can I find an online calculator that does that?
Hm
o.o
you'll definitely need one for high school
Yeah
@echo grove You can write sin(3x) as sin(2x + x) then use the addition formula
cos(2x) directly has a formula so you can write it in terms of cos(x)
using the case where AB is a diameter i can find out that the answer is 2(a^2 + r^2)
but i'm not sure how to prove that that's true for all cases
(the way the q is worded implies that's the answer for all cases but i need to prove it)
oh i have an idea hm
If the lengths of the sides of right triangle T are 32, 42, and y, what are both possible values of y?
sqrt(337) and sqrt(175) right?
@tender prawn do you need a hint?
currently i have AM
so i think I need to show that PB^2 is a^2 + r^2 +2ar cos alpha
just trying to find a suitable angle that is 180-alpha
Exactly
i think im close though
You are
Although I’m not sure about the angles you’re considering
You want to relate MOA with MOB
yeah the PB one isnt rly helpful
hm
im looking at triangle MOB
it fits because MO = a and OB = r
but angle MOB isn't 180 - alpha
wait
did i get the definition for -cos x wrong or smt
no its right
crap i was looking at the wrong angle
That’s it, nice question
yeap
hj euler
Hey is anyone Available to help with my geometry
think of the trig functions what you can use
You don’t need trig really, if you know ABC=30 you know ALB is an isosceles triangle. ACL is half an equilateral triangle. So you know it’s base is half it’s slanted edge which is the same as LB
Another creative way is to drop the perpendicular down from L to the side AB to get 3 congruent triangles. So the area of triangle ALB is twice ALC. since they have the same perpendicular height their bases must be in the ratio of 1:2 also
ABC is a triangle with AB=AC.
AD ⊥ BC, M is a point on AD such that AM=MD.
and DN ⊥ MB.
prove AN ⊥ NC
AM = AD ?
nope, my mistake sorry
AM=MD
I know it sounds lame but coord bash would do the job
That’s lame
centered at D
what means coord bas
bash
its first time when i hear about this:))
cartesian plane centered at D
aa
then idk set B = (-a,0) and M = (0,b)
thanks
but i need to solve with plane geometry
find a triangle similar to NBD
if we construct DP _|_MC we have triangle DPC similar to triangle NBD
yeah those are actually congruent
Yes
NBD is similar to || DBM and NDM ||
how can i prove?
Do you know why it’s cyclic
lol the guy disappeared
How’d you do it? @obtuse tapir
for 6 you know the right altitude is 17 also by symmetry, so you can find the length from the altitude to the bottom right most vertex
so whats the answer
you should just ask the question
Do you know formula for a line passing through the point? Have you attempted something?
i did find the gradient, which is -1/3. and the answer is y=-1/3x-2/3, though i'm not sure where did the 2/3 come from...
There is a general formula for a line passing through a given point and a gradient. VERY IMPORTANT.
And the second one for a line passing thgouth 2 given points. VERY IMPORTANT.
You need the first of these.
ok thank you!
m is the slope (gradient), and x1, y1 are the coordinates of the point.
The second formula, which is very important for some other tasks is
So you dont have gradient in the second formula but two points the line passes through.
How’d you do it? @obtuse tapir
@silk patio hmm try proving ANM and DNC similiar
For ang ANC to be 90 ang DNC=ang ANM
The relations in triangle BND to NDC are the same the relation between DNA and ANM
stretched horizontally two times
Find the hypotenuse of an inscribed circle on a right triangle using th radius 5cm and perimeter 60 cm
Do you guys have any idea?
What does this vector mean?
It means you need to translate each coordinate (x,y) to (x,y+3)
I think you just need to change the y coordinate of the points to y+3
I made this: maybe some people would find this helpful. :)
There's a pinned pic with trig identities too
What happens if you square the second, and in the first one isolate siny on one side and square it. And then replace first into second?
@valid briar
alright i'll give that a shot. i did something similar tho before
i didn't continue coz i thought it would be too lenghty
I mean one easy solution is x = y = pi/4
This should help factorizing the final 4th order equation 😄
yeah but i gotta find a general solution
both sin(x) and sin(y) have to be positive - something to note
since cos(x) and cos(y) have to be the same sign -> x and y are angles in quadrant 1
yeah true
if we find all solutions for (x, y) in the first quadrant, we can add 2πn to each solution and be done
$(sin(x) + sin(y))^2 = 2$
Shen
$cos(x)cos(y) = 1/2$
Shen
$4cos(x)cos(y) = 2$
Shen
$4cos(x)cos(y) = (sin(x) + sin(y))^2$
Shen
$4cos(x)cos(y) = sin^2(x) + 2sin(x)sin(y) + sin^2(y)$
\cos \sin for a better looking message
Shen
ye - am too lazy lol sry
yea - i'm just trying stuff out honestly 😦
last resort is we use a graphing calc but we really shouldn't
i mean i got the basic idea about pi/4 being it
I mean when I do the substitution I get
t^4 - 2sqrt(2)t^3 + t2sqrt(2)-5/4 = 0
t=sinx
And knowing that one solution is x=PI/4, that is t=sqrt(2)/2
m and n are complex numbers?
a general solution, but how would i get it in this form?!
nah they're integers
OHHH
exactly
uhh... notation?
So I can factorize this into
(t-sqrt(2)/2) * (t^3 - 3sqrt(2)/2*t^2 - 3/2*t + 5sqrt(2)/4) = 0
oh that we get that since we wanna cycle pi/4 for like 2pi or something making the coefficients of pi integers
interesting
for example if sin(x) = 0, i could say that x = n*pi, where n belongs to integers
but howwww would i get this in this question?!
okay im following you too
yea i've no idea
if you graph these equations, there is a chance you may notice something (i haven't tried it yet tho)
Second solution can also be sqrt(2)/2.
but ig wouldn't this be too much?
yeah they're doing exactly what you said, cycling in intervals of 2pi
Yes, there is a double solution into sqrt(2)/4
yeah
hence the +- sign in the solutions
I found a nice solution 😮
Maybe there is nicer but check this pro one @valid briar @upper karma @upper karma
You already concluded that sinx and siny must be positive (because their sum is sqrt(2) > 1).
Now squaring the first: sin^2(x) + 2sinxsiny + sin^2(y) = 2
Squaring the second: 1 - sin^2(x) - sin^2(y) + sin^2(x)sin^2(y) = 1/4
Subtracting these two gives: sin^2(x)sin^2(y) + 2sin(x)sin(y) - 5/4 = 0
This is a quadratic equation from which you can find t=sin(x)sin(y) = -1 +- 3/2 = 1/2, as sin(x) and sin(y) are positive.
This means we have sin(x) + sin(y) = sqrt(2) (which is given) and sin(x)sin(y)=1/2. From A-G mean:
sqrt(2) = sin(x) + sin(y) >= 2sqrt(sin(x)sin(y)) = 2sqrt(1/2) = sqrt(2).
The equality holds only when sin(x)=sin(y), and the rest is trivial.
I dont know if there is a simpler one
wow yeah this makes sense. Thanks for your effort :) @main lintel
br uh, we aint solving things for u, at least try please
if sin theta = 0.2, then what can cos theta be?
yeah but idk what pi/2<theta<pi means
do you think you can one time solve then i'll attempt the next one?
so i would plug in .2 right
yes
and what do you get for cos(theta)?
Hint: you should be getting 2 solutions for cos(theta)
itt literally says
sin(theta) = 0.2, not theta = 0.2
$$(0.2)^2 + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$$
Buncho Goons
please tell me you can solve this at least
what did you get for cos(theta)
uhhh are you sure?
im honestly so bad at algebra
.96
$$\cos^2(\theta) = 0.96$$
and trying to find theta
Buncho Goons
by itself
now, what is $\cos(\theta)$
Buncho Goons
sqr(.96)
i'll trust u on that, im too lazy to pull out my own calculator
but
that's not all
there should be 2 solutions
what happens when you square root something
????????
idk man
square root of (0.96) gives you 2 solutions
Buncho Goons
2
wrong
lmao
there's another solution
???
there you go
squareroot of 0.96 gives you 2 solutions, 0.98 and -0.98
now, how do you figure out whether it's the positive version or the negative version
uh the pi/2<theta<pi
exactly
so its negative
so the answer is -.98?
no
you're not done yet
we know cos(theta) is -0.98, and sin(theta) is 0.2
what is tan(theta)
idk
look at your notes
tbh
Buncho Goons
just use this lmao
i did
b ruh
but its been a while
well i ran outta time but atleast i understand it lmao
good, now you'll stand a chance on the next one
timed test?
u forgot a negative lad
for a question
i hope so, dont want u gettin banned
That's kinda sus
8 min per question
5 questions
wym sus
also idk if i missed a negative
answer in my calc is .3566
omg you dont know how to divide
sin(.2)/cos(-.98)
oh
you dont plug it into theta
literally
0.2 / -0.98
there's no need to figure out what theta is
there u go
ight thanks but next time dont be so annoying
like im strugglin here
and u just ?????????????????? what!!
I want you to at least try
It didn't help that I had to baby sit you every. single. step.
even dividing and basic algebra
yea np
yep it's right
ty 🙂
you can always graph it on desmos.com/calculator
I tried doing that and watching a few tutorials on how to but there is always errors
anyone know what to do for this?
not sure what to do with the maximum value of 12 when x=100
<@&286206848099549185>
hi, i'm a bit stuck on where to start with this question, would the first step be splitting it up into triangles?
That is an approachable method
hmm okay, would you be able to clarify what i would need to do next? not exactly sure what to do with the triangles after
i’d name this shape ABCD
Then
Find out tan(80)
To find the right angled triangle on the right side with the 3cm leg
Then I’ll know the difference on the left side
then do tan(x)=3/whatever the difference
then subtract x from 180
umm can some1 help me with this problem? i dunno where to start
im using it as a practice
He meant to say "square both sides"
You don't need to do that
Its telling you to find sinxcosx
so how
You dont have to go all thru the hassle of finding sinx and then find cosx
You can just find it from the equation above
After squaring both side, you got 1 - 2sinxcosx = 1/25 right?
yea
So can you find sinxcosx?
Why?
Think of sinxcosx as a varible
You want to know its value
This will just need a bit of algebra
so i should see this as
1-2x=1/25?
Yeah
Use something else instead of x
Tho you should use another letter
1 - 1/25 isnt -24/25
i transposed 1 to the rhs so it became - 1
Then what about the - 2x
thats where i forgot the sign
And try to use another letter next time lol
dividing both sides by - 2, i think the answer is 12/25. is it?
Yes
oh sorry, why diff letter?
That's becayse if you used x, that means you are implying that the solution for that x is also the solution for the x in the sinx and cosx
Which is false
ohhh
welp that will lead to misunderstanding for somebody else, not for me atleast
thanks btw. and for the tip ty
@upper karma have you heard of a theorem called the pythagorean theorem?
yes, im working on it right now
Good, can you recall what the theorem is?
Explain step by step how you would evaluate cos(a+b)given the values of sin(a) and sin(b) both expressed as y/r, if both a and b ∈ [0,pi/2].
is this right? ^
Are you restricted to using only y and r in your expression for cos(a+b)?
wait nvm, i forgot you wouldnt be able to get x without defining in terms of y and r
yes that's right, though 3 could be flushed out slightly to make it explicit that you need to take the postive root when you sqrt
im confused what you mean by this
x^2 = a -> x = +/-sqrt(a)
why cant you take the negative square root when you take sqrt?
since its in 0 to pi/2
right, cause cos(a) is positive for a in [0,pi/2]
so do i have to mention that?
but you just took square root and automatically wrote positive, which is technically wrong, since taking square root introduces a plus/minus
depends how specific your teacher wants the answer to be
You cant really make it much simpler, you could just get rid of 4 and replace it with "Thus we take the positive roots of the expressions in 3"
or something along those lines
no i mean is there a way i can make the final anwser more simplified
like the cos ( a+b) = part
Not really, I'd personally be content with leaving the answer as that
oh also, you should probably use subscripts instead of superscripts to distinguish y's and r's, cause if im reading that im reading y to the power of 0 which is just 1
oh okok
also one more question: Use the appropriate compound and/or double angle formulas to write cos(3x)in terms of cos(x)
is this right
@humble pulsar
looks right
@upper karma how’d you write so nice? What do you do it with?
i do it on a ipad lol @silk patio
nice

The way I see is there are two possible tangents here so what is the question talking about?
I gotta find what fg =
sure, if you see the website i linked then you'll find out how to do that
listen dude I see quizzes in the URI so I'm not going to say anything else because I know thats american for a test
read the link I sent it has everything you need to solve the problem
if you saw quizzes, why would you proceed to help to then say "dude that's a test and I knew it was" 
hello, i have the following geometries: black/green/pink boxes, (rectangles, but can be polygons), the red ones are so called markers.
some markers are fully contained by geometries, some not, and some partially contained (i outlined them).
i need to "distribute" the markers into corresponding geometries with which they overlap, and i also need the non-overlapping part (the points).
please advise how i can proceed.
use pythagorean theorem
ok well
notice how it said sin(theta)
not just theta
so ur just finding the ratio
@cloud sable
lol np
can anyone explain how to get sin(t) and cos(t) FROM only tan(t)?
I literally guessed to get these right and have no idea how to actually do it
it would help if you drew out a right triangle
oh okay, and then what :<
remember that tan(t)=opposite/adjacent
ik there's a negative so ima get to that rn
we also know that tan(t)=sin(t)/cos(t)
since it says sin(t)>0
we can infer that cos(t) is negative
right?
oh thats what u meant by drawing it out sorry, and yes !
yep
what have you tried?
i have tried nothing
i have no idea where to start
i know at some point i will need to get the perpendicular gradient however because I don't know where T is, i can't work out the original gradient
that is what has been putting me off @upper karma
however I did find an article that seems to know what it is doing (https://sites.math.washington.edu/~m124/source/supps/circleTangents.pdf) and will follow that
Whats the question
Hey
.
Is this the question ?
If it's then
From given equation we know the centre of circle. Let the centre be O
Find radius by using O and a point on y axis
Draw PT
join O and T
Since PT is a tangent
Angle PTO is a right angled triangle
Use Pythagoras theorem
dude
where is T
how the hell am i meant to draw PT if my biggest issue is working out where the hell P is
the issue with this article is it assumes the circle is centered at (0, 0) and so you get one massive simplicity
which would be subsituting the coordinates
U don't need to find T
yes now i know
Ok nice
what is the formula to rotate points (x,y) around the origin without using imaginary numbers. I want to do this in desmos
@fast tide it depends how far
I am working with a formula x^2+y^2=1 to draw a circle
i literally dont know how to do this
