trust me there r lot of people who can make u feel dumb here easily its just about exposure

#

its just not a good way to discuss maths

fluid sorrel
#

Yaa she called me dumb even though I said it was typo error

#

But it's ok bcz i am the kind of person who gives no fk

can someone explain how a number is not in the complex number system?

#

You thinking like this, or how the numbers are represented specifically?

#

Because 99 is in the set of complex numbers, as 99 + 0i, but it doesn't need to be represented that way.

# ionic forge explain this to me like i’m a 3 year old autistic toddler

We have a squiggly flower picture made with math. The flower is drawn by the rule:
r = 3sin(2θ).

Think of θ like the "clock hand" spinning around the circle.
When θ changes, the flower grows out and goes back in.

The question is asking: on which piece of time (interval) does the flower’s growth “on average” stay the same?
That means: start and end values are the same. If start = end, the "average change" is zero.

So let’s test the answer choices:

  • f(θ) = 3sin(2θ)

  • At θ = π/4 → f(π/4) = 3sin(π/2) = 3(1) = 3

  • At θ = 3π/4 → f(3π/4) = 3sin(3π/2) = 3(-1) = -3 (not the same)

  • At θ = 3π/4 → f(3π/4) = -3

  • At θ = 5π/4 → f(5π/4) = 3sin(5π/2) = 3(1) = 3 (not the same)

  • At θ = 3π/4 → f(3π/4) = -3

  • At θ = 7π/4 → f(7π/4) = 3sin(7π/2) = 3(-1) = -3 (aha! the same!)

That means average change = 0.

So the answer is (C) 3π/4 ≤ θ ≤ 7π/4.

Hope the explanation is good and hope it helps

And even though a channel is not constantly active, it's a much better experience if people can open it and see that the last thing that happened was actually relevant mathematical discussion.

Got a ton of missing work

I get math easily

#

As long as its explained right 😭

also f is suppsoed to be increasing up to x<-2

so like

rn its going down

#

This channel is God sent

#

My school put me in pre calc after taking geometry last year, so I skipped algebra 2

#

And idk shit that’s going on in my pre calc class

#

Wondering if anyone could tutor me

#

besides that 2 thing

fierce stratus
#

My teacher is nice and all but he’s not the best at explaining

undone pumice
#

should be good i think

fierce stratus
#

this is an example

#

of work I do not understand

undone pumice
#

so basically

#

a functions inverse is like

#

if f(a)=1

#

then if g is the inverse

#

g(1)=a

#

like it'll give you the x value u need to get the y value for f which will be the input of g

fierce stratus
#

It’s really hard for me to understand through text. People in general chat told me I need roles to unlock vc 🤦‍♂️

undone pumice

maybe try yt?

and separate it into three courses

#

so whats your plan for hs. Ap calc soph, ab junor, bc senior?

undone pumice
#

ap calc is not a course by itself

#

it's ap calc ab and bc

#

soooo

#

js

#

ab soph

#

bc junior

#

stats senior

#

and dual enroll multivariable senior yr too

fierce stratus
undone pumice
#

oh

#

weird

#

ap courses are standardized tupically

fierce stratus
#

theres pre, calc, ap calc, ap ab, ap bc, and stats

undone pumice
#

oh

#

weird

#

ap calc isn't a course made by collegeboard

#

hmm

#

well anyway for ap math we only have stats ab bc precalc

#

so, im taking js precalc ab bc stats

#

with multivar (calc3) in seinor too

Write everything in terms of sin(theta) and cos(theta) -- that is, cot(theta) = cos(theta)/sin(theta) -- then have at it with basic algebra and the magic rule sin²(theta) = cos²(theta) = 1.

languid lichen
fierce stratus
fluid sorrel
# fallen prairie

Just write cot in terms of cos and sin then take LCM... Use the rule sin^2 + cos ^2 = 1

median spear
#

Which goes in the numerator as sin^2(x)

#

Now write cotx as cosx/sinx

#

Simplify, remains with sin^2(x) - cos^2(x) +2cos^2(x)

#

Which is sin^2(x) +cos^2(x)

#

i.e. 1

#

hi guys I'm relatively new and I'm studying precalc for Sing

#

I have this problem (I think is related to limits) that I'm struggling with, but the more I think the more stuck I am

modest bolt
#

Is this the original question?

fallow hemlock
#

yh

#

no context no info

#

the texts below is the next question

#

wait I think I got it (ish?)

#

because we can rewrite this as infinity^(1/infinity)

#

and as 1/infinity approaches to zero

#

we have infinity to the zero = 1?

#

and smbody check this?

#

I was lowk busy during the lecture solving on eproblem and overlooked this one

modest bolt
#

I don't think you proceed like this with limits. You have to do this properly.

fallow hemlock
#

how so?

modest bolt
#

L = lim x→∞ x^(1/x)

#

you know L-hopital?

fallow hemlock
#

I don't :((

#

But I think that it tends to 1 regardless right?

modest bolt
#

it says if lim x→c f(x)/g(x) are making form ∞/∞ then lim x→c f(x)/g(x) = lim x→c f'(x)/g'(x)

modest bolt
fallow hemlock
#

idc abt the answer because I got it quite clearly but I'm more interested in the law

#

yh I'm js going to google the law

#

probably only takes a 20 min video at most

#

noted the link thx

modest bolt
#

youtube will be better for this

fallow hemlock
#

oh ok so basically it helps us evaluate limits when it is contradictory

modest bolt
#

yes when the limit takes form 0/0 or ∞/∞

fallow hemlock
#

yh true I searched up TOCT vid abt this rule

modest bolt
#

what you get after taking log?

fallow hemlock
#

so

#

let y=x^(1/x)

#

taking ln from both sides

#

we have

#

ln(x)/x

#

OHH

modest bolt
#

yes as x→∞ ln(x)/x goes to what?

fallow hemlock
#

so it takes the form of infity/infinity already

#

ok

#

so

modest bolt
#

yes than you apply l hopital on ln(x)/x

fallow hemlock
#

yh but regardless it intuatively goes to zero because the denominator x tends to infinity

#

yh cool

modest bolt
#

the numerator aswell tends to infinity that's why intuition doesn't work in limits of indeterminate forms

#

you won't be able to guess answers to all limits of form ∞⁰ that's why knowing the process helps

fallow hemlock
#

ohh i understand now because it tends to infinity also it is hard to argue

#

thanks a lot btw because the other problems are also done informaly so I'll head back to fix them up rn

#

I'm logging off bye

can i ask how to do this ? i am unsure of how my teacher solved it

modest bolt
soft plover
#

notice that both sequence of x's have powers of 2 as their differences

#

but x = 4,5,7,11

#

which is 1,2,4,8 plus 3 to each term

#

if you subtract each term in the problem with 1,2,4,8 (powers of 2) you'll find that the resulting differences are constant which is 3

#

thus you need to subtract x by 3 to make it 1,2,4,8

hushed sphinx
# celest lantern can i ask how to do this ? i am unsure of how my teacher solved it

The method in blue looks pretty iffy in general. The differences in the x row wouldn't be powers of the base except in the particular case where the base is 2 ...
Instead I would just say:

The form y=log_b(x-h) is given in the problem, so we just need to figure out the constants b and h.
No matter what the base is, the only way for log_b(4-h) to be 0 is if 4-h = 1, so h must be 3.
Next, we're also told that log_b(5-3) = 1, and the only number whose logarithm is 1 is the base of that logarithm, so b = 5-3 = 2.
I didn't use the points (7,2) and (11,3); they can then serve as a control.

#

(Also, it's unnecessarily confusing that the problem uses "h" both as the name of the function and the name of the constant you subtract from x, but that's not for you to fix).

Does anybody have a pretty formal reason why the multiplicity of the zero of this function at x=-3 is higher than one?

raw hill
# wintry lotus Does anybody have a pretty formal reason why the multiplicity of the zero of thi...

Let the given graph be of ( y = f(x) ). Then, since ( f(-3) = 0 ), we know that
[
f(x) = (x + 3)g(x)
]
for some polynomial ( g ). Differentiating yields
[
f'(x) = (x + 3)g'(x) + g(x).
]
Hence,
[
f'(-3) = g(-3).
]
But since ( f'(-3) = 0 ), we have ( g(-3) = 0 ), which implies that ( (x + 3) ) is a factor of ( g ).
Therefore, ( f ) has a factor of ( (x + 3)^2 ), meaning the multiplicity of the zero ( x = -3 ) is greater than one.

dry lantern
#

Granted you haven't learned calculus yet so don't worry about it

cedar tangle
#

How do you even solve this

dry lantern
#

Since you know a+b is constant and c and d are multiples or linear combinations of them you can say that a,b,c, and d are all constants and not functions of x which makes the integral trivial

#

Whether or not you want to solve for those constants depends on how willing you are to solve a system of 4 nonlinear equations

# spare kelp Wait how

||let L be a constant
the integral of L dx = Lx + C, where C is an arbitrary constant
if L = (a+b+c+d) (since they are all constants since they are not dependent on x),
then the integral of (a+b+c+d) dx = (a+b+c+d)x + C||

everything besides that is not relevant in order to solve the question so the question doesn't make too much sense

echo cobalt
#

Can someone integrate √e^x - 1 for me

viscid thistle
#

you are in a pre calculus channel

echo cobalt
#

😔

viscid thistle
#

is the way

viscid thistle
# echo cobalt

but im pretty sure this can be done using rationalizing the sqrt

#

then e^x - 1 / sqrt(e^x - 1)

echo cobalt
#

Then?

viscid thistle
#

well you see u can seperate the

#

rationals

#

e^x/sqrt(e^x - 1) - 1/sqrt(e^x - 1)

echo cobalt
#

Ya , then? How do I solve the second part

viscid thistle
#

e^x - 1 = u
du = e^x
e^x = u +1<

echo cobalt
#

You solved the first half

viscid thistle
#

first part is easy

#

well technically this is bad tbh just do

#

so for 1/sqrt(e^x - 1)

#

take u^2 = e^x - 1

#

and now integrate

echo cobalt
#

Okay

viscid thistle
#

2u du = e^x dx => dx = 2u/e^x du

#

put e^x = u^2 + 1

echo cobalt
#

Yes

viscid thistle
#

1/sqrt(e^x - 1) dx becomes 2u/(u^2 + 1)(u) which is 2/(u^2 + 1)

#

that form is of arctan differentiation

echo cobalt
#

So yeah tan-¹

viscid thistle
#

yeah

echo cobalt
#

Got it thanks

viscid thistle
#

🙏🏻

viscid thistle
#

sometimes its not just e^x - 1 = u

echo cobalt
#

Exactly

viscid thistle
#

but u^2!

to remove the sqrt

this works in so many

situations

yeah you see

y^2 is in the power thats cooked

so to get rid of that take ln on both sides

To the x

#

Got ot

#

Got it

#

I did that wrong

viscid thistle
#

yeah so lmao, well take the e^x a^y y^x all the side, so thats e^x a^y y^x * ln x

#

so thats multiplication rule

viscid thistle
echo cobalt
viscid thistle
#

xd

#

well yeah do all that then take dy/dx on the side

#

Implicit functions are hard to differentiate

viscid thistle

#

just wait

echo cobalt
#

Aight

viscid thistle
#

y = e^x a^y y^x * ln x
dy/dx = e^x a^y y^x * ln x + e^x

to differentiatve a^y:
z = a^y
ln z = y ln a
dz/dx = a^y y' lna

dy/dx = e^x a^y y^x * ln x + e^x a^y dydx lna y^x * ln x +

to differentiate y^x:
z = y^x
ln z = xlny
1/z dz/dx = (lny + x/y dy/dx)
dz/dx = y^x ln(y) + y^(x-1) x dy/dx

dy/dx = e^x a^y y^x * ln x + e^x a^y dydx lna y^x * ln x + e^x a^y y^x ln(y) + y^(x-1) x dy/dx ln x + e^x a^y y^x * (1/x)

#

@echo cobalt

#

it went kinda insane

#

but yeah thats that

#

now you take every term with dy/dx to the left

echo cobalt

@compact aurora where a, b are of opposite signs is the messiest case
so you really need to be on point with your function properties
arctan is increasing and 1/x is decreasing
their composition is decreasing

so then -arctan(1/x) is increasing, and the sum of two increasing functions arctan(x) - arctan(1/x) is also increasing

but there's obviously a break at x = 0
so take the left and right limits at x = 0: the max is y = pi/2 and the min is -pi/2, so that's our range

and then arctan(0.9x) - arctan(1/x) for example has the same horizontal asymptote and left and right limits at x = 0, so thae range is unchanged

compact aurora
#

i ddint take arct(0.9/x) i took arct ( 1/2x) no worries right?

willow skiff
#

it doesn't matter, the point is that 1/2 * infinity = infinity

#

and 1/2 * -infinity = infinity

#

so the behaviour at x = +infinity, -infinity and x = 1/+infinity (0+), 1/-infinity (0-) is unchanged

wait but since a=x and b=1/2x dont they have the same sign?

#

or am i stupid

so they actually were of opposite signs

Why bcz its derivative is 3/2√x dx= dt

N also t^2 = x^3

I got the hint thinking abt dt and basically the denominator was x^3/2 kind of

Then i guess u can apply 1/√x^2+a^2

Let's say you had x^2 = 0. how would you solve it?

so x=1

x^2 = 0

oh wait

#

x=sqrt0

#

x=0

So you square root right?

The trig function sine

fluid sorrel
# wispy musk what is sine

In math, sine (sin) is a trigonometric function that represents the ratio of a right-angled triangle's opposite side to its hypotenuse for a given angle. It is defined as: {sin theta=Opposite/{Hypotenuse} where 'θ' is the angle. Sine is a fundamental concept in trigonometry and is used to find unknown sides or angles in right triangles, and more broadly to describe periodic phenomena in physics and engineering.

Ive been looking up equation for pi and saw many complex ones (mainly Ramanujan's), so i thought why isnt this one used most of the time? I am an eight grader so i may not understand much so please be understanding. (I made the equation by myself, not looked it up)

U know the ramanujans form? that also equals pi but used way more. is it because of fame, or the complexity?

N Ramanujan didn't have fame in initial years until his works on prime series n other stuff

He was not a professional mathematician until he took degree under Henry's guidance

He was a god gifted person which he always accepted that his work comes from the goddess of knowledge Saraswati

x is equal to -4, and 2, but plugging in 2 would make it not a real number, plugging it in the left side, so log based 2 2 -3, but it works on the other side.

#

I'm a bit confused, if anyone can help, I will highly appreciate it.

ionic apex
#

Log base x of x is always equal to 1, therefore plugging in 2:

log_2 (2) - 3 = - log_2 (4)

1 - 3 = -2

-2=-2

#

Log base x of x is asking us x to the power of what is x

#

Or in terms of an equation, x^a = x and we want a, by inspection we can see a is 1

cloud pulsar
# ionic apex Log base x of x is always equal to 1, therefore plugging in 2: log_2 (2) - 3 = ...

Sorry, I meant w = -4 and 2. I understand the log base of x of x, for example, log base 2 of 2 will be equal to 1 based on the log property. But log base 2 (2) -3 is log base 2 of -1, which log can't be negative, making it not a real number. I understand where you wrote and inputted the w values "log_2 (2) - 3 = - log_2 (4), " but 1 - 3 = -2 doesn't equate to that. 2- 3 = -1, and the other would be 4 from (2) + 2.

I was just wondering - is log is the same for all equations (log 1 is the same in equation a and b), or does it differ one equation to another?

willow skiff
#

before uni, the convention is that log is log base 10

#

either way, you can convert freely between any two logarithms with the change of base formula

Interesting

e.g $\log_{10} x = \frac{\log_2 x}{\log_2 10}$

also it would be ingeneral nice to know everything about sumation operations, anyone know where I can find a overview of all the topics on summations

fluid sorrel
#

i is iota

#

i= √-1

#

So whatever power of i is just divide it by 4

#

So whatever remainder is that will be power of i

#

Like

#

i^16= i^0=1

#

i^17=i

#

As 17÷4 remainder is 1

fluid sorrel
#

612 is completely divisible by 4

So remainder is 0

i was reading and doing exercises from this one

willow skiff

some people really try to do calculus from this level and my heart breaks for them

#

you need to have a look at trig graphs, identities, and equations

#

function ranges and domains and asymptotes

#
#

this is more like it ^

#

if you're actually prepared, then calculus will still be new and confusing, but it shouldn't hurt

sonic loom
#

bruh i cant understand inverse trigonometry

#

trig identities is lowkey easy but when it comes to inverse im confused asl

clear berry
#

what part is confusing

sonic loom
#

Honestly, I’m confused about how to find the angle from a trig value

#

and understanding what the inverse actually means

wintry canopy
tidal marten
#

idk if that’s exactly what you’re asking

willow bear
#

ditto for cos^-1 and tan^-1

modest bolt
frail lion
#

Then why do we solve it in a specific domain

#

Like in sin^-1( ) values residing in( -1,1) can be plugged

#

Saying complexity increases doesn't work coz it can be tackled by using nπ±(-1)^n alpha type

willow skiff
# frail lion Like in sin^-1( ) values residing in( -1,1) can be plugged

think about the definition of sin(x) as being opposite/hypotenuse

clearly, the opposite side can never exceed the hypotenuse, except for when you have a degenerate triangle with adjacent side 0 and so opposite = hypotenuse = 1

hence the ratio will always be less or equal to 1 (in absolute value)

reef storm
#

i love watching ppl nerd out (no offense ts relaxing)

frail lion
#

Hmm yeah that is another way to look to it

#

Basically what my reasoning was that inverse trigo is just back tracking from the graphs

#

The graph of sin inverse has -1,1 as its maxima and minima

#

So the domain can be -1,1

frail lion
willow skiff
#

and then that's 90 + 360k, 270 + 360k for any integer k by periodicity

frail lion
#

Adjacent tends to 0

#

Adjacent 0 is not correct to say

willow skiff
#

so that is indeed a valid way of thinking about it

#

denominator = 0 is the only way for tan to be undefined

willow skiff
frail lion
#

The graph of tan never touches the line x=π/2

#

Or can say touches at infinite

willow skiff
frail lion
#

You san say tends to

willow skiff

#

So

#

What are you trying to imply then?

This bombardilo crocodilo equation has formed

clear berry
frail lion
#

That I have used in the second picture but you need initial velocity

#

And it will be found by work energy theorem

#

For that you need a height to equate potential to kinetic
