Is there a way to factor this by hand or by calculator this is the only part i keep getting confused on for inequalities with polynomial functions and its really really pissing me off cause i could solve it online but i don't know how to do it by hand or by my own doing
GCF
Take out the x
And factorise it
x^2(x-4)
I still just don't understand lol for the squared part at least
What happens to the x³
wym what happems
to it
if u expand, u do x^2 * x
and x is just x^1
so x^2*x^1 = x^2+1 = x^3
indices rule ^
Watched a vid and reread comment it makes a lot more sense now thanks 👍
U want help?
Well the homework was already due
But I didn't understand it
So id appreciate the help
Factor then take the roots then test a number in between and then just use multiplicity for the other intervals
Do u know how to calculate the derivative?
Yea
Okay that’s the bulk of the problem
A horizontal line has a slope of 0
Therefore f’(x) = 0
Then you must solve for x
9e^x(sin(x)+cos(x)) = 0
When do sin and cos have + and - outputs
2nd and third quadrant
But the domain is 0 to pi
So only second quadrant
In the second quadrant they have the same |output| at 3pi/4
So that’s that
Then u have to plug that value into the original problem
To find the y value of f(x)
I assume ur allowed to use a calculator
Also note that 9e^x can not = 0 so that factor is discarded
We're not
Yea thts wht I thought but I didn't know how to solve for x when sinx+cosx
Sin and cos have - and + values in the 2nd and 4th quadrants
Yea
? what
you start with greatest common factor and it then it gives you x(x^2-4)
x^2-4 has a perfect square
what?
It’s factorable but it isn’t a perfect square
(x-4)(x+4)
Subtraction of squares rather
meant it has a perfect square in factorable not just only a perfect square
whats the difference anyway
some people still call it a perfect square in factorable lol
I get it's that don't think I don't know about that
try khan academy if you haven't
apply l'hospital's rule
i so regret not studying precalculus before getting into cal AB bruh
hmmm
i would prefer to use either the factoring method or rationalization instead of that ;-;
im not really sure why tho
do you still need help with this?
applying the l'hospital's rule will faster than that
0/0
this is precalc so most people in here wont really understand/be fluent in l'hopital since that is usually taught in calc 1
l'hopital rule is taught in precalc wdym
can’t tell if ur being sarcastic or it’s actually taught in pre calc somewhere
cause most places I have seen, it is taught in calc 1
ah ok
not really actually calc but they teach l'hospital rule at least
:))
actually
i havent learned about that rule
but i know the form tho
Any one that would be willing to tutor? Can pay for time spent of course.
What do you need help with?
Paying for tutoring is against server rules, but there are plenty of people here willing to help for free
You've also got online resources to use for FREE
Ah, my apologies. @faint igloo
<@&286206848099549185>
Did this help?
both of these are because fractions exist
" if there is a limit find it "
Well, from either side (negative or positive) we are approaching some value at x =1
ye
you'll be infinitely close to x =1 which should result in y =(?)
0 ?
or infinit
maybe that wasn't a good way of explaining it, think of it like this...
what value is the function approaching if we plug in x =1?
4
like according to the equation
is there a method to do this
im not asking for the straight up answer but i wanna know how its done
im a visual learner
1^2 + 3 = 4 right
Right, the limit value of a function does not depend on how the function is defined at the point being approach (whether or not its not part of the graph)
right
bet its just this 1 question
okay, what about this question
I won't just do your hw if thats what you're getting at 😭
im tryna ask what it is
not the answer
im tryna understand
its that if the value of the given quantity exists and if it does find it
that
yea, so limits are asking what value is being approached, they differ from per say f(0) in that f(0) is asking the defined value
so in this case f(0)= 4
but the limit as x approaches 0 will be different ( depending on what side you're coming from)
If that didn't answer your question, try watching a video like https://youtu.be/7Q2HwTHcxA0?si=XAyux28wp_nBvCkG and see if that helps explain
This calculus video tutorial explains how to evaluate limits from a graph. It explains how to evaluate one sided limits as well as how to evaluate the function using graphs. The graphs include points of discontinuity such as holes, jump discontinuities and infinite discontinuities such as vertical asymptotes. Horizontal asymptotes are include...
I gotta go for now tho, hope you can get it sorted out
i seen this bru
that looks more like a chart for a sportsball play than it does a math problem
If you’re asking how to answer the question from what I can tell it would be:
If (e) is undefined, explain why it has no value. In this case it’s because there was a removeable discontinuity
in that example f is undefined at 2 because it's simply not defined at 2
Yea
whether a function has a limit at x has nothing to do with whether it's defined at x
it has to be defined on a deleted neighborhood of x, but not necessarily at x itself
and in this case f is defined on a deleted neighborhood of 2
Yea, maybe removable discontinuity wasn’t the right word, but I don’t think he really has a grasp of what lim x->n is asking
no, you're right, it is a removable discontinuity
the key takeaway from that exercise is the understanding that the limit of f at x has nothing to do with what f does at x itself, only on what f does near x
Yea that’s what I was trying to say with the “a limit is the value being approached”
the function f(x) = { 1 if x is an integer, 0 otherwise } has limit 0 at every real number
My bad I thought you were saying something else
and is discontinuous at every integer and continuous everywhere else
figure out what the hole is at 1 (for reason why $x\neq 1$).
plug in 1 for x^2+3 and your answer is the limit as x approaches 1 (from both sides) of f(x) goes to 4.
$x \neq 1$
hole means discontinuity right ?
Tank_Driver011
The function is discontinuous -- do you know which type of discontinuity it is?
no
we have removable, infinite, and jump.
removable - there is a hole
infinite - vertical asymptote
Jump - a split in the graph
whats an asymptote
so its jump
coz its a split
a long split tho
no, sorry. jump looks like this (the thumbnail of the video)
an asymptote is a line that the graph never touches.
this image?
no no
oh, i'm talking about this.
the notion "getting closer and closer" can be made precise using convergent sequences
oh!!!

25 or 26? Both? let me explain 25 and you complete 26.
a. f(1) - you plug in 1 for x and look for y (look at the graph at x = 1, notice it is a hole/DOES NOT EXIST, therefore, the point that is circled in is the answer at (1,2)
b. limit as x approaches 1 for the function f(x): approach x=1 (on graph) from the left and the right, notice how the graph splits (from the left, you are above the right piece of the graph). Since the right and left do not give the same answer (right gives (1,1) and left gives (1,3), then the limit as x approaches 1 DOES NOT EXIST.
c. plug in f(4), find the point on the graph -- it has a hole at this point so it is DNE
d. limit as x approaches 4 for the graph f(x) meets at the same point (both left and right), it is continuous, therefore as x approaches 4, f(x) approaches 2.
REMEMBER
f(a) is different from limit x --> a f(x) -- the limit approaches some value, f(a) is that point and if it has a hole for f(a) then it does not exist but if hole is for limit, you write the value it approaches. see above for explanation
@frozen dirge
I'm struggling on this question could someone please explain? I tried my best on the answers
guys, im just starting limits, was wondering if someone could answer this cus i havent read it yet. Whats a derivitive in definition? WHats a limit? if someone could ping me or reply thatd be cool, its been a childhood question of mine.
Can |x| <_ -4 be represented using a number line?
can anyone help me factor this i dont know whrere to begin lol
(x-2)(2x^2 + 7x+3)
hii, new to the server i have a question...
is the coordinate of the focus of a parabola that opens to the left (a, 0) or (-a, 0)?
(-a,0 ) for parabola y^2 = -4ax
can anyone solve this polynomial inequality I know how to do everything im just confused on the answer
solution is (-1,5). You have only one point hear
a) False because you still have d
b) True because d cannot divide by (x-c)
c) True because c-c in factor x-c can make zero in (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) so d left
d) False because d cannot divide by x-a to get some d
can u guys suggest me any video to learn Riemann Integra in depth ?

Hi guys, our teacher wants us to make a 3D model of all the conic sections. Any ideas or suggestions?
Sounds like a cool project. I think I'd try to make it work with office paper for the cone and stiffer cardboard for the plane that intersects it.
i was thiunking 3d printer, but yeah that's probably less work
in 1 one both end points are not meeting , but in 2 both end pints are meeting , how is this possible , in 2 one for one value of x how two values of y are possible ?
f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)
im going crazy i have tried breaking it and removing the roots but nothing
its hs math and i havent done derivatives yet so please no derivatives
try multiplying by the conjugate
thats what i tried but it doesnt bring anything useful
i know thats the only way to solve it but im kind of stuck
what did you multiply it by
i broke the 2 and multiplied the one by /x+6 and the other with /x+1 -1
so its x+6 -x with the denominator being differnet of course
and from then on i tried making it x-3 +9 and getting rid of the x-3
but it doesnt really work
can you send a picture?
ah you split it up
yeah
i wouldn’t do that
but if i do it without splitting it it will end up with a /x+6 * /x+1
and i cant remove it unless i break it again
Only one endpoint in 2
look at the numerator as /(x+6)-(1+/(x+1))
then you can multiply by the conjugate
no dont split
wait ill try it
without splitting
ok
so now its 2x -2/x+1
should i do congujate agian
uhh the 2x should be a 4
but isnt it x+6 -(1+/x+1)^2
yes
you forgot the 6
Well its +4
thats true
And then yes
no problem
Why is thins wrong?
but it is showing two end point in 2...
is this answer wrong?, i dont really think thats incorrect
it's wrong because it's actually a floor function
stupid ass website didn't display it properly lmao
thought it was a absolute value notation
"with vertex at (5,4) and focus at (5,-1)" how do i find the properties? C, V, F, D, A, LR, 1/2 LR, L, R?
oh ok lol

Why this integration = -1?
Take the primitive and do the value in 1 - the limit in 0
Cauchy integral definition of integral
I got it, thanks
anyone know what these notations mean
or symbols rather
nvm simple google search explained it for me
i need help with this thanks so much in advance <33
$$I_{n} = ∫(x^{2} + 1)^{-n} dx$$
Show that
$$I_{n+1} = \frac{x(x^2 + 1)^{-n}}{2n} + \frac{I_{n}(2n-1)}{2n}$$

$\sqrt{(2^n+3^n+4^n)}$
xxOctavianxx
that's an expression
what are you asked to do with it
find n
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you. A picture or screenshot is best.
If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still help helpers help you. Do your best to translate.
I think that it can be rationalized. I'll dm you later
please do that, thank you so much!
are you sure that's what it says
because to me it looks like "determine those n in N for which the expression is rational"
that's right
my bad
whee number theory
there's a well-known proof that 2^n + 3^n is never a perfect square, so i suspect a similar strategy to that in that well-known proof would work
i have a question why doesnt the 3x get cancled out?
because it's a typo
What up mathletes
yo am struggling with functions and two-dimensional coordinates, internet doesn't give much better explanation, i think y'all students can help me (?)
Did you find anyhting?
no and i did not really care much about this problem in the first place
i see
well that sucks
Can anybody help me with a question? I asked ChatGPT this question and told me that all values of k work.
If the function f is defind by f(x) = 2x + k and the function g is defind by g(x) = (x-5)/2, for what value of k is f(g(x)) =g(f(x))?
yes
Sorry if i dont explain this well, im still learning functions myself. So i just placed a guess, and put 5, and tested if it would be true, and wrote it down.
g(x) at 10, would be 2.5, and 2.5 at f(x), would be 10, and then i did it again
f(x) at 10 would be 25, and 25 at g(x), would be 10
both answers come out to 10,
the = 10 in the picture isnt the answer for the functions btw, its for the functions below i just wrote them there
Tysm
why won’t this work?
Get rid of y=
still doesn’t work
desmos says «Integration bounds can’t depend on the integration variable ‘x’»
but it works with y
Desmos only calculates the definite integral with numerical bounds
Doesn't calculate some integral that has variables as bounds
@timid agate ^^^^^^
desmos is right, the variable of integration cannot be a bound of the integration
untrue:
you can get pretty complcated, too:
the issue is that you can't have the same variable in the bounds as the variable of integration because it's ambiguous what you mean
bro is too good
But that doesn't tell me anything other than the anti-derivative of that exponential
It doesn't fully compute the anti-derivative function for me
Just shows me what it is
yeah, i didn't ask it to do that
but that wasn't the point i was trying to make; the claim was that desmos couldn't graph curves defined by a integral having a variable bound, and that's not true
Suppose there is a function $y(x)$ satisfying $\frac1{1-x}\le y(x)\le \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}+x)$. For which $x$ is this function bounded?
Never mind my question.
solve for x
move 3 on other side and divided by -3 to get x by itself
then you flip the sign since youre dividing by a neg
-3x < -3
= x > 1
so x values have to be greater than 1 and they cant be one so open circle facing right if im not mistaken
can someone help me with this
properties of logarithms
wait i was working with this sort of stuff just a few hours ago
lol
but i see someone else has already answered
hey I just wanted to know if im doing this right or not bc I have been trying to teach myself diff ways but I got 2 diff answers
i got f^-1(x)=7/3x+1/3
but tried a diff way n got f^-1(x)=3/7(x-1)
i have no idae what proper inverse function notation is
i get 7/(3x)-1/3 so you may have made a mistake somewhere
i just dont understand proper inverse function notation
i don't know what that means
it's something your textbook or your instructor has defined, it has no standard meaning of which i am aware
if i do the "replace f(x) with y, interchange y and x, and then solve for y" i get "y = (-1/3)*(x-7)/x"
you then replace y with f^-1(x)
using a computer algebra system: ```
sage: solve([y==7/(3x+1)], x)[0].subs([x==y,y==x])
y == -1/3(x - 7)/x
can someone help me with b)? i dont know how to do it
i don't like that question. a vertical asymptote is not merely a point at which the function is undefined because it involves a division by zero
take the function f(x) = { 0 if x is an integer, 1 otherwise }
1/f(x) is { 1 if x is not a integer, undefined otherwise }
i would not consider 1/f(x) to have a "vertical asymptote" at each integer even though 1/f(x) is undefined at each integer because the definition involves a division by 0 at each integer. for x to be vertical asymptote, the function should approach infinity on a deleted neighborhood of x, but 1/f(x) is bounded on every (sufficiently small) deleted neighboorhood of any given integer
however, you'll have to review the definition of "vertical asymptote" that your text or instructor has given you and apply that definition, which might not agree with my sense of how that term should be defined
anybody have a site that can do this? mine just wont give a maximum lol
desmos may provide insight here
hey, im a precalc honors student in unit 2 rn. the first unit was the unit circle, and i completed all quizzes and tests with relatively good scores. onto unit 2, i unfortunately missed many days due to unforeseen circumstances, and am really behind and need help learning the content. i have a quiz on monday, and the unit test on tuesday. the unit is called graphing trig functions, and we are not allowed to use any form of calculator under any circumstances. if someone can devote some time to helping me learn this unit, that would be really helpful
can anyone find a video on where i can learn about this i just don't understand ;/
Which part are u struggling with
Maybe someone here can assist
I found out how to do it dw thank u tho
although if anyone can can someone check one of my problems for work its x int
curious if its -4 or none
how would i do this?
Nobody in my class can solve this, so now I'm trying to get help elsewhere. The answer list says a cubic function with negative a-value, with local maximum at x=4 and local minimum at x=-2, if it is to any help:
A function which is valid with the restrictions given below:
those are some big parentheses
hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had some good resources for calc stuff?
is this right? i know that at x=7, the slope is 0 and idk whether i should include that point
f'(x) = 0 is not f'(x) > 0
yes i know
what's the problem then
for example, for 5 < x < 7, 7 is the endpoint of the interval and since its the > and not the ≥, i am wondering if its correct to select that as the answer for f'(x) > 0 since the 7 is not included in the interval but just stops there right?
or am i wrong
p=2/5 ?

P=1
make a least common denominator so
(6(p-3)+p*(p+3))/(p+3) * (p-3)
distribute
6p-18+p^2+3 / (p+3) * (p-3)
combine like terms
9p-18+p^2 / (p+3) * (p-3)
multiple sides by denominator
9p-18+p^2 = (p+3) * (p-3)
simplify right side
9p-18+p^2 = p^2-9
subtract p^2 from both sides
9p-18=-9
add 18 to both sides
9p = 9
divide both sides by nine
p = 1
divide acosx-bsinx/bcosx+asinx by bcosx in both numerator and denominator
is 7*1/3x+1
thank you chatgpt
help can someone explain how it's C (I made an equation g(x)-1/2f(2x) but the values i plug in don't work)
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
@warped cipher what does !nosols mean
read it
idk tbh
but it could many people just want others to do their hw without understanding how they did it or some of them just wanna cheat during the quizzes/tests without understanding it as well

well mb i didn’t know
hello can anyone explain why this is wrong
the first one is marked wrong because you omitted a repeated root
and in the second one you only gave one of the three real roots, the polynomial has two other real roots
got it
does anyone have a trick for solving rational functions with absolute values?
turn the rhs into sin(tan^-1x)
then eventually i get tan^-1(x+1)=tan^-1x
which gives no solution
I need some clarification about inequalities. If I have the following inequality:
1/2 * X <= Y <= 2 * X
Am I allowed to look at the upper bound and lower bound individually and produce bounds for X? Like so:
1/2 * X <= Y gives X <= 2 * Y
and
1/2 * Y <= X
So we conclude that X can not be bigger than 2 * Y or smaller than 1/2 * Y?
Thanks
??
yes you can, using algebra which you have done correctly :D

this you want?
can't tell if this is absolute value or parabola

nah that's looks like reciprocal function
hyperbolas?
is mathematical induction helpful in calclus or pre-calc?
generally no
but you should learn it anyway
i see, but where do we generally use it? in what branch of mathematics?
just curious
if you're studying calculus in a formal way, like analysis, you use proofs to prove a lot of statements and such
Thank you for the explanation
don't worry about proving anything if it's your first time learning calculus
just build intuition
You mean proving the limits problems?(just an example)
no, more things like theorems. The fundamental theorem of calculus, for instance
mean value theorem
i see, but i do have a question, why do we use continuties? and what is the right way to do them?
can anyone help with this
continuity is important in calculus
if a curve is discontinuous, you may not be able to apply certain tools
limits are used to determined continuity at a certain point
after fn,ITF,lim
nice
can anyone help me with the letter c
lets say that
there are two concentric squares where the bigger one has a side of S and smaller one has side of S-1,
The shaded area clearly corresponds with the function A(S-1) as the shaded area tends to show the smaller square
Similarly the sum of the area of of the unshaded region and shaded region corresponds with the function A(S)
so with the shaded area A(S-1) will correspond
the other expression i think corresponds to the sum of the unshaded regions
@soft copper i suppose this must be oyur answer
nice
How do you find the phase shift?
Any of you guys wana help my dumass pass the class?
im honestly confused on some stuff some explaining might help
i can help!(i cant i didnt learn anything from precalc)
Did you solve it yet
Can someone explain how (x-4)^2 +1 is facted to (x-4+i)(x-4-i)
+1 can be written as -i^2
then why is it +i and then -i?
a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
yes I did
Aight
no i think that A(S)-1 would be S^2 - 1, which would correspond to the difference of two squares, meaning that A(S)-1 is everything except the smallest square
im not sure but yeah this was my approach
can anyone teach me basic integation and special integrals?
Use online resources. Better than we can explain it for you

where can i find them (apart from yt)
There's khan Academy, Albert.io, and youtube has videos of university lectures that you can watch
hi i had a question about chain and product rule
like say you had a problem
is there any scenario where you could use product or chain rule to differentiate it and get the same answer?
i'm assuming u are talking about a question like (2x-3)^2
in this case you can probably use both and get the same answer
chain rule will give you 4(2x-3)
and so will product
How do I figure out the values on the sides and how their placed
do you still need help with this?
um
you split the differentiation
d/dx of x^3 + d/dx of 4/x
yeah
then
then 4/x is rewritten as 4x^-1 through index laws
power law it
yeah
yas
d/dx (x^n) = nx^(n-1)
anyway i came to this channel so i could ask a different question, maybe its a bit too advanced for this channel but im putting it here because im not at university yet idk
i was thinking about factor theorem and how if f(n) = 0 then (x-n) is a factor of f
o
& maybe that rule only applies to polynomials but i thought "what about sin"
sin
wat fnction
because sin(0) = 0 so that implies that x is a factor of sin(x) right?
but then there's also sin(pi) and sin(2pi) and so on
yeah
but
graphically
sin isnt the same as a polynomial
so you cant really
classify it that way
and u cant really factorise it as well
so does that suggest that sin(x) is an infinite product of (x-0pi)(x-pi)(x-2pi) and so on??
it could be
but then you can think about maclaurin series & then suddenly it is a polynomial
except that would get way too big & you would have to scale it down so that the maxima and minima are at 1 and -1
so what do you scale it down by? infinity? since its infinitely big polynomial
wdym
if the amplitude
wait
the first function
the red polynomial is wayyyyy too big but if you scale it down by like 1000 it kinda looks like sin a bit
i thougth about that
since the degree of x is increasing each time
heres more terms scaled down more
close
you can see it stays closer for longer
so if you have loads of terms like infinitely many of them would it just be sinx eventually
idk if im just spouting nonsense here im quite ill
not sure bout that
since a polynomial term has finite number of terms
and the sinx function has infinite number of roots
im afraid sinx cant be expressed as a polynomial
not possible BUT
a sequence may work
they are periodic
i mean maclaurin series is a proper thing that has been properly proven
so you're just wrong there
because its an infinitely long polynomial it can have infinite number of roots
and thats what im thinking about also
I have an incoming exam of a math course two weeks till now, The course is about differentiation: rate of change, function of a function, implicit function to differentiation of trigonometric and inverse trig function. I don't know this math course. I want to ask for help if anyone has a simplified documentation for this and Youtube channels suggestions that explain the concept.

bro what 
Bro is writing hieroglyphics
what the fuck does this mean
they absolutely can
well
an infinite product
okay, u could argue about its taylor series being a polynomial representation of it
Doesn't look like precalculus.
can someone PLEASE show me the steps of differentiating this??
Doesn't look like precalculus either.
Yes.
ok I'll change channels then
yall am abt the rip my brains out rn
can someone help me solve this
oh nvm this is preclc
You can re write -x/2 as -1/2 times x
Then just use u sub if you'd like
thta exactly whqt i did
Can someone please explain how to do these the answers are highlighted
I did this for number one but idk it just doesn’t seem right
Even though it got the answer
what do you think about inequality e^(3x) >= -1
2 must be a typo or something extremely weird going on.
Oh yeah sorry it was arcsin I miss wrote the question now it makes sense
Isn’t it always greater than -1 and never equal
I think you can say more, but sure
So is this the better way to justify?
yes
Ok thank you
i just realised that e^x has no roots, and e^x = 1 + x + ½x² + ⅙x³ + ...
does this mean that this is a polynomial with no roots???
No, because a "polynomial" by definition has only finitely many terms.
try going for substitution
like let e^-x/2=t
then find the value of dx
substitute it
and also
take log both the sides
will help u
oh that's really anticlimactic
can someone quickly tell me what transformation -f(-x) is ? bc how is it a reflection in both axis
if u multiply it out its just f(x) which is the og function but thats not the answer
You can only "multiply it out" like that if the function happens to be odd.
I don't think it has a name. It's something you can do with a function. Rotates its graph 180° around the origin.
yupp ty
how did they get to costheta + isintheta? i understand the magnitude |z|
i must have forgot my trigonometry
i'm struggling to understand why the x coordinate is given by |z|cos theta lmfao
(cos(theta), sin(theta)) is the standard parameterization of the unit circle in the R^2 plane, this just expresses that as complex numbers instead.
huh i see, i think i understand
this has always been a concept that i've overthought
In other words cos(theta)+i sin(theta) is the complex number corresponding to where the point where the fat arrow in your diagram crosses the unit circle.
hmm ok, thx
this is definitely not calculus
this is about finding roots
ok thug
how is my answer wrong tho, my teacher is fucking me over
bro what.. i asked for help not a life story
nice one
"standard form" is ambiguous
in this context, they probably mean vertex form
idk if I am just an idiot but last time I checked, $f'(x)$ is calculus
saddayyy_
in the context of this, sturt theorem is part of algebra and polynomials. It's just euclidean algorithm involves a tiny bit of derivative.
but it would still be really off to just refer to calculus whenever you see a derivative signs i suppose
cause many other math topics use the concept of derivative
it is simply introduced in calculus formally
yes but at least what I have seen in most us precalc courses, they only introduce the differential quotient and the concept of a limit which is why I was saying that looks more akin to higher than precalc
I am in G11 and this is taught to us in our study of polynomial equations
ah ok
related theorem taught is one called descarte's rule of sign, which I think is very similar
also about finding real roots with different amounts of sign changes in a polynomial
so you learn calculus in precalculus
@viscid thistle if u don't mind me asking, are u in the us, or international?
I'm in Asia
ah
so I would put that in #calculus as that does involve some differentials that are not taught in the normal us precalc curriculum
or in the help forum
when in doubt
ok
I hate web assign it’s been a nightmare this semester
because cos(theta) would be on a unit circle. for larger or smaller lengths, you must multiply by the magnitude aka hypoteneuse length in this case
Hi can you guys help me with this?
1.How is the equation of an ellipse determined when the foci and vertices are given? (Note that the term "vertices" refers to the endpoints of the major axis.)
- Is it possible to determine the equation of an ellipse when the coordinates of the endpoints of the major and minor axes are given? If so, explain how.
I remember having more web assign hw than actual hw, I wasn't able to learn at all from it, actually it made my math worse cause I was just grinding out pointless problems pointlessly
Math software is literal hell
I didn't learn until I put the pencil down and tried to figure out easier ways to solve the same problems and why I struggled
I am assigned like 50-70 different types of questions a week plus a quiz I only get 1 shot at within 5 hours.
I get 1 shot at exams within 2 hours.
I shouldn’t make excuses, but this isn’t learning math it’s like basically weeding students out and meeting deadlines
I have to agree with you 100%
It's completely stupid. You'll be so burnt out you won't have any energy left to learn or retain
50-70 questions isn’t necessarily bad. Studying for exams over 100’s of questions that is

It's that + everything else on top of it
In my case our lecturers barely could speak english
I got further teaching myself and being lazy
What class are you taking
Being lazy can be good for retention sometimes actually
Right now I'm being gatekept by academic standards so I'm taking more algebra in a different program
This time we don't have a teacher or a book lmao
But I have the cheat codes already
Yeah that sucks, web assign sucks. I am taking calculus. Homework isn’t bad, quizzes aren’t bad.
The exams fuck lol
The exams are like the only thing that matters it’s like 70% weighted
Some schools expect most of their students to fail higher math courses
I’m in college btw
I'm starting to see why the US has such low scores now
I like this formula sheet for algebra it pretty much has a majority of what you will need.
My biggest gripe with webassign is that they ask so many word problems they should probably focus on more pure mathematics in my opinion
That's a damn good sheet
Well to be fair word problems are supposed to be the hardest ones to solve but some involve trickery or wordplay
If you have other stuff like this for any other topics, even if not math related feel free to send them my way
EEweb has a ton of those cheat sheets you really don’t need anything else for math besides personal notes from homework and practice.
The only other topics I touch on now are spirituality tbh I don’t think you would be interested in that if you are academic enough lol
All knowledge is sacred
We are also using algorithms written by leaders of ancient cults
Yeah there definitely is a lot that has originated from religion and cults that we use. I’ll share some math connections I made if you really want in dms. I don’t feel comfortable sharing in this server
why we took n -----> infinty ? fucntion is bounded b/w [a and b] does n-------> means infine partion ofr maximum accuracy ? or not then why n is approaching infinity ?
because you can't measure area under the curve with finite number of rectangles
as a consequence the width of each rectangle is reduced
Does anyone have any worksheets they could send me about transformations of functions AP precalc?
Can someone explain this form of the binomial theorem is (with the floor n/2 and n choose 2k). You can ignore the cosine and sine (problem was about finding a polynomial with roots of cos2kpi/n)
I've never seen binomial theorem in precalc
Aakarsh and Claire were just in math class together, but they have different destinations.
Aakarsh sets out at 1:30 PM, immediately after class, headed due north at 11 feet per second. Claire stays
behind for 15 minutes to ask the instructor a question, and then sets out due east at b feet per second. What
is the lowest number b can be that will make Aakarsh and Claire coincide?
Im having trouble figuring out how to find it
If they're going in different directions, then it sounds like no b will ever make them coincide ...
(Unless Aarkarsh contrinues straight ahead after he reaches the north pole and then moves south until he meets Claire who has gone the other way around the world).
You have your x value (8) and your y value (3). So 3=Log base a of 8
So what is some value that you cube it to get 8
2
So your a is 2
So it will be y=log base 2 of x
ty that makes sense
Does precalc help you with calc?
.
Nope, the school system sets it up to delay fast learners and drag out the education process
Purposefully makes it a difficult checkpoint for even advanced learners to diminish their mathematics confidence
Well said
oh no
luckily I will only be taking 9 weeks of it
becuase my second semester is trig/precalc
i’m on alg 2 now
it was more satire but ok
👍
gl!!
Can someone explain how it goes from 1+cos=4-4cos*
To 4cos*+cos-3=0
Subtract $(4-4\cos^2 \theta)$ from both sides
Civil Service Pigeon
Thanks
I don’t understand the second step
What does performing the inverse function mean?
logarithm and exponential function are inverse functions of each other
please answer this general form to standard form
divide by 8 on both sides to solve for y, then separate addends on other side to get standard form in terms of y=mx+b
wow i dont get it sorry im not good at this
wait to start off, you need it in this form yeah? y=mx +b
okay so you pretty much already have it in that form: mx+b=y
but y has a coefficient in front of it, so you divide by 8 on both sides (cause what you do to one side, you always have to do it it to the other)
y = x^2/8 - 2 ? is this it?
so this is the standard form @slate crane ?
yes, but some schools use Ax + By = constant
oh I totally didn’t see that it was an x squared, your answer is 100% right. just the formula for standard form is y=ax^2 + bx + c whereas the formula I supplied previous is for a linear line. yours is a parabola where a=1/8 (coefficient of x^2), b=0 (coefficient of x, since you don’t have an x variable), c= -2
uh
me personally, i'd rather not start calc without knowing any trig or college alg concepts
ive been self studying a bit of precalc and it's only made me more confident
I was joking, but even then personally my hs teaches trig concepts in alg 2
is there any pretty notation denoting that f(x) is symmetric to the y-axis other than:
f(x) is symmetric to the y-axis
I doubt there is but just wondering
im pretty sure all algebra 2 courses at least have some basic trig (from at least what I have seen)
I mean ofc there are gonna be some out there that don't but I'm pretty sure most do
I don’t understand the second step
Please explain me how it got there and what performing an inverse function is
log and exponential are inverse functions of each other
@normal coral
Even Function - Symmetric about y-axis
f(-x) = f(x)
Odd Function - Symmetric about origin
f(-x) = -f(x)
really depends on who's asking
yes, that is the definition. not a notation though.
remix?
Ye? What’s up
Post your question
Explicitly
Can anyone help me?
Yes I think so. It’s there because I edited the picture before I posted
you can ask here or #❓how-to-get-help
how would you identify whether a function, for a given domain, is an increasing function or decereasing function, or neither? For this question, I found the first derivate but then I don't know how to determine the type of function
if the derivative is non-negative, then the function is non-decreasing
if it's non-positive then the function is non-increasing
<@&268886789983436800>
Thanks
my teacher didnt give the reasoning as to why a cubic is guaranteed
if anything that plotted out looks like a parabola to me
The strange thing is that the table gives the coordinates of five points, whereas the text claims there are only four ...
And according to Wolfram, the simplest polynomial that passes through those particular five point is of the fourth degree, which is not even among the options.

How do I find U1 in a geometric sequence if all I have if U7=24 and U15=384?
Bro what even is dy/dx
notation for the derivative of y with respect to x
those two form linear system with two variables and two equations
what if we derived x with respect to y would it create a black whole
if you are familiar with the notation of $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$, you can think of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ as an infinitesimally small change in y over an infinitesimally small change in x.
saddayyy_
you can, but don't 
but be mindful that it isn’t exactly the same thing, it’s just an analogy that helped me learn the concept of a derivative
I feel like as long as u think of it as an analogy instead of a mathematical definition, it's fairly harmless until you learn the formal definition
even then the analogy doesn't even make sense since there's no such thing as infinitesimal change in classical analysis
First step is to find "b", you know that the first month is going to be:
ab^1=620
and the forth month:
ab^4=1083.
Now you should:
1.Divide these two equations in order to find b (ab^4/ab)
2. Now that you have b, put that in one of the equations, and you will find a
3.then for the answer obviously: ab^24 = ?
The numbers are really messed up
did anyone help in the end?
nah
dawg i thought u was gonna help me. :/ 😦
im not sure how useful id be LOL 😭
I can help you with that
I will explain the second one
We got two points from the exponential function which one of them is (0,18) and the other one is (4,2):
When g(0) = 18 so:
ab^0=18
And we know that every number that has the power of zero would equal to one. So you can find out the value of "a".
Now we will use the second equation (4,2)
Now that you know the value of "a", you can easily find the value of "b" using g(4).
maple did, i failed the second 1
so you need help on the 2nd ?
@sage lichen
sure
alr
we have ab^x
for x=0, ab^x=18
so ab^0=18
a*b^0 is the same as ax1
so a=18
all clear so far?
alr I suppose it is
18*b^4=2
b^4=1/9
b=1/root3
so we have ab^x=18(1/rt3)^x, which is the same as 18(1/3)^x/2
?
appreciate it (pr8 it)
no dx/dy
?
The way to get any help is to ask some questions and not flail around in all the channels. See #❓how-to-get-help.
that would be kinda cool
Hey guys if anybody is in AP Precalc send me a dm we can help each other out yk
for future
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
is it x (3/2, 1/2)
or (1/2, 3/2)*
from 1/2 to 1 and 1 to 3/2, f(x) is negative
so for f(x) < 0, x is between 1/2 and 1, and 1 and 3/2. same as x is between 1/2 and 3/2
Oh
just started differntiation and i cant understand this chain rule man
i even tried yt vids and like i pretty much memorized it at this point but havent understood it
just having it memorized was working fine till i tried differntiating e^(x*ln(2)) and I couldnt
Have you seen 3 blue 1 brown's essence of calculus explanation?
yep even saw that
helped a lot but
still not completelty there
Ah fair, that one helped a lot for me
Chain rule is soundly #calculus, not pre. But it would be easier to get useful help if you can state your confusion with more specific words than "I don't understand".
Hm
Ill try to rephrase it and thanks for correcting me
gonna give it a try myself again tho
YO WAIT I THINK I JUST GOT IT
What is it asking, do you think
oh dw i solved it
Yeah, I know. I saw in the calc channel
i was jus confused with the definitiion
yh
expected value of x as the function approaches x from the left
Guys, will there be eulers number on the test tomorrow
Also
If your trying to solve a exponential equation with (216^1/3)^5
cuz the drevative of cot is negative csc square
Because 1+x/4 is set to u
alright
given an exponential function how would you find its equation? (it can have any transformations but not horizontal transformations)
i mean like horizontal strech or shrink
ello i wouldve just put the message in this channel but i didnt know it existed, heres my question
Fr
yo any way to visualise sin/cos/tan to make learning about it more intuitive?
i feel so foolish how do i write the derivative of the inverse of function f
why are people posting calc questions here
you cant include 1 in your answer
i had to prove volume of sphere is equal to 4/3 pi r^3, i am getting 8/3 pi r^3
And
What do you want
A cookie?
I think you want (or at least need) some time to find your missing civility. Come again tomorrow.

this one is right
(nvm got it)
I'm somewhat doubtful this is precalc
y?
Idk there's just something about it
Could be the integral but idk it's at the tip of my tongue /s
Lmao my AP calc class hasnt even taught this yet
Can someone explain how they do this
can someone tell me why it isnt also associative
anybody know how to find the time that the ball is in the air?
It is also associative
Why do even functions bounce back even when they're below the x-intercept? Like doesn't any negative number when raised to an even power become positive
$ln(2i\pi\times e^{2i\pi})=ln(2i\pi)+2i\pi$

going off the idea that the ln and e cancel in the last term of the equation
wolfram alpha says this is incorrect

Has anyone here done calc 2?
Hi...any study room?
