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
Agree
I can tell it from ur bio
Why does she get into a misunderstanding or something like that everyday....
i am readin undergrad stuff rn but again there r lot of lot of cracked people here
who r actively involved in research
She be Badass
Fun 😸
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.
algebraic numbers adds the case that it is only imaginary?

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
I dont understand the calculation, can you please explain how you got π/4?(Also the others stuff like sin
this is about unit circle right?

Hi please don't spam in here, go to #chill
Bro
😅
The chat was dead
That's why
its a topic channel, we don't usually expect them to. be alive at all hours of the day
Hm
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.
True
Ayyy its my math class
Currently we just started reviewing holes in rational functions
Limit statements </3
Can someone help me get my 21 percent failing F up 😭
Got a ton of missing work
I get math easily
As long as its explained right 😭
is this right
lwk cant see the last one
also f is suppsoed to be increasing up to x<-2
so like
going up
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
oh mb the 4+ is greater than the f-
so my friend was wrong damn
oop gl
u could try online alg2 courses like khan academy or such
or yt videos
mayb
For rn I’m tryna study based on the stuff we’re learning in class as of now cuz I have a test on Monday
My teacher is nice and all but he’s not the best at explaining
should be good i think
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
It’s really hard for me to understand through text. People in general chat told me I need roles to unlock vc 🤦♂️
idk how to explain it lwk
maybe try yt?
This algebra video tutorial provides a basic introduction into inverse functions. it explains how to find the inverse function by switching the x and y variables. It also explains how to prove if two functions are inverses of each by checking to see if the composite functions of f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) are equal to x. In addition, it explains how...
This algebra 2 and precalculus video tutorial explains how to find the inverse of a function using a very simple process. First, replace f(x) with y. Next, switch x with y. Finally, solve for the y variable and that's it. This video contains examples and practice problems that include fractions, radicals, square roots, cube roots, linear fun...
I’ll try the video thanks
ones more like what is an inverse function
watch the intro one first
then like
the next one is like
how to find the inverse function
Alrighty 👍
@undone pumice is it like this
yup
looks right
what grade are you guys in
11th this isnt hard im js reviewing for my ab unit tes
im 9th
class of '29 but i think most ppl in this channel r prolly '28 or '27
(usually i change my discord user to evelyn | hs class of '29 so its more clear but i can't change nick for this server so)
yah im 14
i still procrasinate on assignments and stuff
....oops
(in math)
I started locking in this year more
College seminar “F” doesn’t count because the assignment grade isn’t finalized
Colleges come to my school and I have to go to 3 college visits by the end of the semester, and I’ve only been to 1 so far. So I have a 1/3 in the grade book rn
heres my grades (in order its ap csp, ap precalc, pe, ela hnrs, heritage chinese 1, bio hnrs
ahh
You have have Chinese at your school 😭
We only have Spanish
But we only have to take Spanish freshman and sophomore
chinese and spanish
Nice
We have college trips, that we have to go to
Divided into 5 seconds determined by gpa. Each group goes to 2 different colleges based on their gpa. My group is 2.75-3.2, and I have to be at school by 4:30 am
damn
good luck 🙏 i would probably drop if i had to get up that early
I’ve got friends visiting brown university while I’m going to Clark university (never even heard of it before) 💔
Onb
oop
splitting it up by gpa is kidna diabolocial lwk
ur grades seem good tho besides the f that like isn't ur fault lwk 🥀
They don’t want to give false hopes to kids with a lower gpa that go to an Ivy League and fall in love with it, but they have no chance of getting in
😭 oh
um
wow
I mean that’s just for this current semester. I wasn’t doing very well last year
While some kids have to be at school at 4am and come home at 9pm because they’re going to far away schools (Massachusetts), the kids with really low gpa are going to nearby schools (30 minute bus rides)
ok
just now finishing video 1
noice
do you think its helping?
i use the same channel for more advanced stuffies
I understood the video tbh
you learned geometry and alg 2 in middle school
well
my district operated uponi
a system
called
integrated math
aka
geo + alg + stats all tg
wtf
um
its like
take all the high school math before precalc
mix it together
and separate it into three courses
thats crazy
(its weird. i agree)
i...i guess integrated 3 was the equivalent of alg2? well, the alg part of int 3 anyway? maybe?
creating intellectual superhumans
this is from ai overview but meh
idk
i mean im js me
i js skipped int 1 and did 2 and 3
so whats your plan for hs. Ap calc soph, ab junor, bc senior?
ap calc...i mean, ab and bc are both just, ap calc?
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
my school is different
theres pre, calc, ap calc, ap ab, ap bc, and stats
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
odd
nice
if I understand pre calc this year, ill take ap calc. If not ill take calc next year
yeah idk
is stats harder than bc
stats is known to be pretty easy
dw in my experience calc is not that bad
implicit is a lil tricky to understand
quotient and chain...not my strongest, but...alright
ah
i guess my comprehension skill isnt up there
dw its not stuff u need to know
yet
its js
basic ab stuff
ironic because I thought i had good comprehension when I was younger
but im dumb now
alr
its okayy
i mean ur in precalc thats pretty good
in my school seniors take precalc on gen ed pathway so in 11th is still a year ahead of that
(there were so many stupid seniors in my old precalc class it was making me crash out)
well i know theres other freshies, my sister (twins) is the only one in her period, we have diff periods, i have 2nd and she has 3rd but same teacher
AND you have a smart twin wtff
fraternal or identical
fraternal, same gender
my grade has a set of fraternal same gender twins
boys
i dont know what math they take tho
ah
theres a few other twins in my grade
shi was light
ik it was meant to help set you up for precalc stuff
help u with the alg2 level ish
oh what was supposed to be a breeze 😭
wait do u need help w/ this part
Nah
I’m about to attempt the initial question I sent earlier
im already stuck
Why do you have the bible in bookmarks
Idrk I don’t read it
Oh thank god
Do you only use "the organic chemistry teacher" to learn? I'm using khan academy to review the whole arithmetic
But what’s wrong with the Bible tho 😭
So far only toct. I’ve taken only one khan lesson
Yeah but you have school besides right?
Yeah
Good luck on that 💔
to linear algebra...wow
have fun i guess..um
Onb
Well that’s enough math for today
I’ve gotta do my ap lit hw due tonight
Oh yeah I do have an assignment on ap classroom for ap microeconomics
Monday so I’ll do it after
ah
i got 0.910^2x-6.217x+15.2
f(2.5)= 5.3473
can someone check my work
im new to using the stat thing
hi guys i have to do some exercice and i have a question, i have to simplify this: 2*(4+6Un/2Un)
what is the result please
can u send the problem
What's Un
Share the actual question
i think im too dumb for trig this is breaking me rn. i finally lloked it up and why does it = 1 😭
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.
imagin studying
Keep imagining then 🤦♂️
Just write cot in terms of cos and sin then take LCM... Use the rule sin^2 + cos ^2 = 1
Write the denominator as cosec^2(x)
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
Is this the original question?
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
I don't think you proceed like this with limits. You have to do this properly.
how so?
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)
you can just google if you only care about the answer
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
youtube will be better for this
oh ok so basically it helps us evaluate limits when it is contradictory
yes when the limit takes form 0/0 or ∞/∞
yh true I searched up TOCT vid abt this rule
so continuing from here
currently it's of form ∞⁰, you want to make it of form ∞/∞ for that you can try taking log on both sides
what you get after taking log?
yes as x→∞ ln(x)/x goes to what?
yes than you apply l hopital on ln(x)/x
yh but regardless it intuatively goes to zero because the denominator x tends to infinity
yh cool
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
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
did anyone take ap precalc and ap stats in the same year?
i know that i have pre calc next year but i dont know if ap stats is an elective the same way like ap csp/a is cuz i want to drop ap csa for ap stats if possible
i do know the same teacher who teach ap csp teaches stats
Depends on the school like at my school it’s a math class so it’s offered as an alternative to math classes like precalc in senior year
Oh k
IB maths is the easiest bro
Which topic u need help with
💀
It is not easy
You’re probably talking about IB math ai
can i ask how to do this ? i am unsure of how my teacher solved it
y = log_b (x-h)
(x,y)=(4,0)
0 = log_b (4-h)
if x = 1,2,4,8 then h(x) = ²log(x)
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
Correct
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?
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.

Wow that’s terrific thank you
multiply like you normally do
do you know how to multiply two complex numbers?
the a doesn't make it any different
oh thx
I’m so lost right now
Let me send it
I understand 10-12 but not 9/13-23 I’m stressing over this right now.
Do you still need help?
What is that u don't understand??
Do u need answer to verify
Or explanation
Do you know about vertical line test?
Y intercept means the distance of pt where function intercepts / cuts y axis from origin
Almost distance is always positive so maybe not the right word
https://youtu.be/aDPEItdo9wQ
cool video i got from my youtube feed. i think it fits here, idk what channel can i repost it in
okay
that might be the best video
on mathematics i have seen in a long
time

Use vertical line test for question 9
Then use basic function terminology for 13 and others
anyone know how i got this wrong
bro what
turns out i was right and my teacher misread my work lol
Does anyone have tests or like good excersises for derivatives of trigonometric functions
I could make one or get some from a book I have
That would be nice can u check dms tho
pls extplain ts
explain what
a + b = 10c
ab = -11d
c+d = 10a
cd = -11b
Integrate (a+b+c+d) dx when a,b,c,d ≠ 0 and are not equal also.
[No ai Allowed, just try]
The answer is ||(a+b+c+d)x+C||
genius answer 🔥
I’ve spent 30 min trying to solve this as an Alg student am I cooked
Granted you haven't learned calculus yet so don't worry about it
How do you even solve this
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
Okay, thanks
(A+B+C+D) X + C........ as a, b, c, d are constants so this makes it easy
There was mistake, a + b = 10c, also answer is in integer
+c form
You have to find a,b,c,d
Question was incorrect??
Yes, a little, make a+b= 10c
Edit the message n repost bcz others who might try will just waste their time
Edited
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
it was also explained above but 💀
Yeah but I don't see any x in the equations...
Omg I'm so dumb
It's a function
it says to integrate (a+b+c+d) dx, which means you integrate it with respect to the variable x
although this is the precalc channel so idk why he's doin integration 💀
or what even was the point of the problem at all

😔
but im pretty sure this can be done using rationalizing the sqrt
then e^x - 1 / sqrt(e^x - 1)
Then?
Ya , then? How do I solve the second part
e^x - 1 = u
du = e^x
e^x = u +1<
You solved the first half
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
Okay
Yes
1/sqrt(e^x - 1) dx becomes 2u/(u^2 + 1)(u) which is 2/(u^2 + 1)
that form is of arctan differentiation
So yeah tan-¹
yeah
Got it thanks
🙏🏻
i think main thing was, being able to do sub smartly
sometimes its not just e^x - 1 = u
Exactly
,rotate
I multiplied 2 at the end
okay yeah this is good
Yes
Doing math feels great
ikr
I have one more doubt , wait
yeah you see
y^2 is in the power thats cooked
so to get rid of that take ln on both sides
Yeah x
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
Ik chain rule dude
You from where tho?
Canada
Can you send me the photo of the soln
😔🥀
Implicit functions are hard to differentiate
Aight
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

🗿
🥀 🙏🏻
You're preparing for any exam?
I solved it but want a diff approach
Obv
from what i see from the 1+ side its equal 1
but other side its not
Yeah it's discontinuous
Hi just a question
What year should I be attending open evenings for universities as a student in the Uk? Yr 12 or 13?
Does anyone know like a good source for practice problems like on websites or even good books that might help with precalc??? I have only 3 weeks to fix my grades
Ask ai to make you practice problems like paste your homework into and tell it to make problems similar to your homework
pw✋
oh not an Indian kid I see
it’s fine
pw really is a blessing

@willow bear hello!
I wish for you to help me judge some problems, if they are fit for practice
Can I send the pdf over to you through private discord inbox?
Please reply back
I've got a, what I think, great problem set!
uhhhh
May I have you look at them?
i can take a look but no guarantees
I'm sorry for the delay, @willow bear

they cover other stuff too but thats their main focus(exams like jee and neet)
ahh i see
lowk
@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
i ddint take arct(0.9/x) i took arct ( 1/2x) no worries right?
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
south w the clutch
yeah helping with some ext 2 level stuff
💀
what does ext2 stand sor
12th grade Australian maths
oh right, arctan(0.5x) + (-arctan(1/x)) = arctan(0.5x) + arctan(-1/x)
so they actually were of opposite signs
what...
0.5x and -1/x are of opposite signs
odd property of arctan
no "arctan(0.5x) + (-arctan(1/x)) "this
$\arctan(0.5x) - \arctan(1/x) = \arctan(0.5x) + (-\arctan(1/x))$

Can someone please help with the 29th question
,rccw
this's calculus obviously lol
I did the most unethical way that is derivative the answer choices and non show the same as one in the problem 
Apparently Answer is option A
I'll start crying now
There are literally 195 questions and level increases with each one
I have a due tomorrow

he meant you have to focus
flow state+ balkan stare
I am so dumb but what's that
it means like "go work hard"
Actually I have do all questions in a process , this could've worked if I had to only circle options
Thankyou 😭
Well if anyone finds a good method to do it please do help me , I am trying to work with the rest 😔
nah
yo did you get it?
no
yeah cause the options are wrong
Bro
Just substitute
Take t= x^3/2
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
Integration
Try substituting t = x^ (3/2)
I said the same 😂
Options ain't matching
Show me ur work
Dude try solving the actual question
Don't rely on the option
Show ur work
I've sent you
Done 👍
Let's say you had x^2 = 0. how would you solve it?
x^2 = 0
So you square root right?
yeah
do you know how to solve for number of solutions from there?
yea i think

Hey Ive been like seriously struggling in pre calc does anyone have any tips?
bro what does sin even mean
It's sine
study graphs more and more
it helps
i have already completed pre-calc and calculus
its easy if u have a good idea of graphs
I wish 😭
I suck at graphing I think that’s why I’m struggling I have a tutor and Ive been going to extra help but my mark is a 23
do one thing
buy a book named thomas calculus
it may help
Okay thank you gng
Okay awesome sauce
what is sine
The trig function 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.
hello
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)
I mean that will just equal pi
I know but why dont i see it in this form often?
pi ?
yes
U know the ramanujans form? that also equals pi but used way more. is it because of fame, or the complexity?
What is ramanujan form?
This?
Well the difference is that lmao, this is supposed to give the digits of pi and not just say smth is pi
This can’t give the digits
i see
I see. I guess i had problem with the usage of the equations
Yeah lmao
Thank you
Bro the definite integral u shared previously basically denotes the value of graph in a specific interval which comes out to be π... The equations given by ramanujan give the value of π and not the value of any function. Being an irrational number value of π is ambiguous so understand that function equal to π doesn't give us the numerical value of π
N Ramanujan didn't have fame in initial years until his works on prime series n other stuff

i dont think that is precalculus
It's ramanujan equation for π
f(x)=g(x)?
√(1+tan^2C)
How do you find Real Zeros of polynomials?
i dont conceptually get why in combinations you divide by s! for repeated objects.
for permutations?
I guess it applies to both right
yeah basically if u want like unique ones then you'll have to account for the overcount
'
like for combinations, distinct is 6. because half the options are the same, so you divide by 2, whic his also 2!
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.
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
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.
What angel does the tangent line (sin 2x=tan y )make with the positive direction of x axis on the point ( 3pi/4 , 3pi/4)
Thanks, I see what you mean. I didn't consider the parentheses.
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?
there's logarithms with different bases!
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 $\log_{10} x = \frac{\log_2 x}{\log_2 10}$

Is this learned in 7th grade?
logarithms aren't on the school curriculum for 7th grade of course
What grade are they then?
but the change of base formula is taught when you learn logarithms
why do you care?
I wanna know
I'd say 10th grade
but if you're learning this already, great!
Ah thanks then
no worries!

<@&268886789983436800> someone is tryna post something but it keeps getting auto-deleted, i'm not sure if pinging the mods is right here but just in case
Do you know what they were trying to post, by any chance?
idk it looked like a bunch of links or something and it was big, i saw it twice 💀
i just thought st in case it actually did get through and was like a scam or smthn
but it immediately would disappear so i assume it got auto-deleted
Yea, I'm guessing the bot's taking care of them for us
if one of the links does get through and doesn't get deleted though, do ping us again so we can deal with them ourselves

Solve $i^612$
Average_X^2
Average_X^2
i^612 = i^600 * i^12
i^612 = (i^2)^300 * (i^2)^6
i^612 = -1^300 * -1^6
i^612 = 1
is there tricks you would end up doing to simplifying sumation expressions? if so what do I search for that.
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
It is
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
Same goes here @weak prawn
612 is completely divisible by 4
So remainder is 0
i^0 =1
i think you pinged and replied to wrong person lol
Dammm no way
But I hope u understand what I wanted to say
made sense to me :) , idk bout them tho lol
average google ai answer why is this the first search result
The solution is correct?
Whats the issue
"No, the expression...and...are not equal."
"The results are the same"
What's the question
Ohh i see
I think it gave the wrong answer
Then corrected it at end
yeah its funny dont use ai folks
Well the solution is Correct
It's proved to be using an indirect method
Where you contradict the given statement at beginning and later on prove that assumptions made by us were incorrect, so given statement is true
what its saying is
no its not the same
wait actually its the same
i dont want an unreliable ai source
and its not a fucking proof
The only points I lost on a 99 point test 😭
(I know what I did wrong you don't have to explain)

Is there a thread here that teaches precalc from noob to pro
can anybody help me with the question? i’ve made the chart for ln(y), but not sure how to write the exponential model
pls ping me if u can thanks!
we aren’t supposed to use a graphing calc

Where is the calculus channel?
#calculus -- you may need to check the "show all channels" in the right-click menu of the server heading.
Y=3.5e0.052x
step 2 to step 3 is acc genius
what the hell
See this
A simpler way would be 612 is divisible by 4 so answer would be 1
this too
😅
sadly i will probs forget cause ill end up not using it in class
is it
i^1=i
i^2=-1
i^3=-i
i^4=1
alr
i^1 = i
i^1=1
oh yeah meant to type i
yeah ok, then that was a typo
What
💀💀💀

For a broad/open question like e.g: How can I prepare for calculus it is alright to use this channel
But if you want a math problem to be resolved, this channel is still okay but I would prefer open a help ticket
What’s the chain rule
I forgot lol
isn’t it like d/dx [(f(x))^n] = n(f(x))^n-1 * f’(x)
Sorry I forgot
that's the chain rule specifically applied to the case where the outer function is x^n
d/dx f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
Ok thank u so much
Don't know where to post this but:
never took precalc, now is stuck with calc
What things I could look/read up on :/?
for books, either Stewart's Calculus or Thomas's Calculus: Early Transcendentals
org chem tutor on YouTube
Khan Academy has quizzes for AP Calc AB and Calc BC
Been watching him
But I'll look to the other 👍
Thank you
no worries!
how do i use mathematical induction to prove this
first, check the base case n = 2
once that’s done, suppose the inequality holds true for all natural numbers from 2 up to k, and then try to conclude it holds for k+1
lmk if you get stuck
do you still need help w/ this
I just watched a video which involved showing that the sums of two squares are closed under multiplication using complex numbers, and that the sums of four squares are closed under multiplication using quaternions. Does this process generalize to higher numbers?

hi, what is precalculus?
anything in the us precalc curriculum goes here, examples include: trigonometry, logarithmic and exponential functions, function sketching, etc.
in short, it's learning whatever maths you need to get ready for calculus
oh ty Im from the uk and we dont really have something called pracalculus
ah I can explain, so it's basically algebra, trig, and functions at A levels
without going into actual calculus
ah ok
so in the us do you not go into calculus until university
correct, it's not compulsory to learn calculus at secondary
a lot of people do however
but unis have to assume that the person might not have taken calculus before uni
I mean at GCSE some of it is under futher maths so I guess that's the equivalent
further*
yeah Add Maths is roundabouts the first half of A levels
yeah im basically a gcse student rn and I probably wouldnt do ad maths just because thats too many exams imo
but I'm still interested in learning to that level
and I'll amost certainly do A level
is this server more for getting answers to questions
indeed
we don't really teach here, cause that's what private tutors do
we just suggest books and resources to people if they do ask that
is there any kind of resources you'd recommend to learn calculus
like ik the basics
Here is a set of notes used by Paul Dawkins to teach his Calculus I course at Lamar University. Included are detailed discussions of Limits (Properties, Computing, One-sided, Limits at Infinity, Continuity), Derivatives (Basic Formulas, Product/Quotient/Chain Rules L'Hospitals Rule, Increasing/Decreasing/Concave Up/Concave Down, Related Rates, ...
also there's the book Calculus by Stewart
thank you I'll look now
no worries!
guys the best way to learn calculus?
first make sure you're good with algebra, functions, exponents, logs, geo, trig
then start with basic limits, limit definition of the derivative
What might it feel like to invent calculus?

3Blue1Brown won't teach you the procedures for calculus, but it does help explain what calculus is and why you even do those things
ok
de nada!
wdym w procedures for calculos?
the actual algebraic manipulations you do for calculus
like, for example, trigonometry, algebra and etc?
exactly
that's a fairly basic review
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
Here is a set of notes used by Paul Dawkins to teach his Algebra course at Lamar University. Included area a review of exponents, radicals, polynomials as well as indepth discussions of solving equations (linear, quadratic, absolute value, exponential, logarithm) and inqualities (polynomial, rational, absolute value), functions (definition, not...
this is more like it ^
if you're actually prepared, then calculus will still be new and confusing, but it shouldn't hurt
bruh i cant understand inverse trigonometry
trig identities is lowkey easy but when it comes to inverse im confused asl
what part is confusing
Honestly, I’m confused about how to find the angle from a trig value
and understanding what the inverse actually means
yeah that series definitely helped me understand calculus
the inverse doesn’t really mean anything beyond “find the angle when you know the ratio of the sides of the triangle”
idk if that’s exactly what you’re asking
sin^-1 answers the question "sin of what angle gives this ratio"
ditto for cos^-1 and tan^-1
just know the trig identities and it's very ez to derive inverse identities
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
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)
i love watching ppl nerd out (no offense ts relaxing)
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
Yk how will you define domain of tan using this
tan(x) = opposite/adjacent, so that's just all angles such that adjacent = 0
using the unit circle definition, we want opposite^2 + adjacent^2 = hypotenuse^2 = 1, so opposite = 1 or -1
so that gives the angles x = 90, 270 respectively
and then that's 90 + 360k, 270 + 360k for any integer k by periodicity
Hm yeah ok
What about this btw
no, we're looking for all values such that tan is undefined
so that is indeed a valid way of thinking about it
denominator = 0 is the only way for tan to be undefined
yes, if you know the graphs, that's another way
you mean the graph of sin has -1, 1 as maxima and minima but yes
You can not say adjacent zero
You san say tends to
I know, I know that the graph of tan(x) has vertical asymptotes tere
we can find the domain of tan(x) just by thinking about it this way
hi would someone pls be able to explain this to me
some thing in complicated in this
Actually the original height of the center of swing is not given so I have to assume it
And it's complicating the equations further
This bombardilo crocodilo equation has formed
i think thats intentional, the swing is only there to help you work out initial velocity. for the equations you have to use the fact that the object just passes over the pole
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
Ok wait yeah I think I got what you're tryna say
Wait I'll try
Nah mate 2 equations 3 variable
Is initial velocity not just 2pi0.5/0.24
Also can you really apply that theorem here,
Oh wait yeah man angular velocity
Linear velocity is r × this
Damn bro mb I had forgot it
I meant like
Yeah no need
I don’t think it’s even applicable in this case
Why
