ooohhh

#

I SEE

#

so you have sqrt(1 - 0 + 0) + 1

#

so 2

#

and then

#

0 / 2

#

so 0

#

epic

stuck lark
#

what's the top?

cobalt totem
#

oh waittt

#

-3/2

stuck lark
#

that's it

cobalt totem
#

i forgot about - 3

#

if i were doing this on paper it'd be easier haha

#

so not drop a - 3

#

these are fun problems

#

thank you guys

stuck lark
#

you're welcome rooWink

cobalt totem
#

are these pre-calc problems? rn we're not doing limits we're just doing tirg

#

trig

stuck lark
#

i'd say limits are from the first few days of a calc 1 class

cobalt totem
#

yea

#

I know kind of how to do some of these problems from graphs because I took a college algebra class over the summer and we pretty much did limits without doing limits

#

we found horizontal asymptotes by looking at end behavior

#

which is what you do with a limit to infinity

viscid thistle
#

Can anyone help me out on this

#

I'm not sure which one it would be

#

Wouldn't that be D?

#

Just wanna make sure I'm correct

#

<@&286206848099549185>

normal sundial
#

Why do you say its D

viscid thistle
#

i assumed id have to find the position vs time graph

#

since i need to find f(x)

#

and its in velocity form

#

rn

normal sundial
#

yeah

viscid thistle
#

so is it?

normal sundial
#

but that axis crosses the line before 0 right?

#

the graph of f'

viscid thistle
#

hmmm

#

yeah...

#

dam

normal sundial
#

well that means that f has to be increasing

viscid thistle
#

would it be C?

normal sundial
#

the entire time

viscid thistle
#

oh.

normal sundial
#

after that

viscid thistle
#

B..?

normal sundial
#

if f' > 0 then what happens to f

#

also

#

think about what it means for f'(x) = 0

viscid thistle
#

well

#

ik that when f increases, f prime x has all x

#

on the x axis

#

right?

#

sorry its late and im tired so i cant think properly

normal sundial
#

when f increases

#

f' is positive

#

its all good

viscid thistle
#

so in that case, what graph would f be

#

im going to assume A

#

i keep changing my answer so much

normal sundial
#

You tell me

viscid thistle
#

I think it's A

normal sundial
#

ok. do you know what it means for f'(x) = 0 ?

viscid thistle
#

nvm, i found it

#

it's C

#

i think i understand it now.

#

correcT?

#

are any of those graphs right lmaop

normal sundial
#

I think its A

#

but its not a good graph

#

there are 2 crit points in f

viscid thistle
#

i thought it would be C...

#

i think it is

normal sundial
#

it cant be c because c decreases and f' is positive

viscid thistle
#

I honestly cant see any graph being right

#

tbh

normal sundial
#

its supposed to be A

viscid thistle
#

A has y=0 when -3 on the x-axis, makes no sense

normal sundial
#

f has to be increasing after f' crosses the x axis

#

the crit point is at 1

formal patrol
#

looks like A to me

#

why not A?

normal sundial
#

It is A

#

A changes concavity at x = 1 because f' goes to zero at x = 1

viscid thistle
#

ah

#

hmm

formal patrol
#

A changes concavity at x=1 because f'' is 0 at x=1

normal sundial
#

yes

viscid thistle
#

Its supposed to be A

formal patrol
#

f' goes from decreasing to increasing

viscid thistle
#

but I dont think the proportions are right

formal patrol
#

it is A

normal sundial
#

the proportions arent right

#

but its still A

viscid thistle
#

yeah

#

its shit graph

#

so its still A

normal sundial
#

yeah i hate these questions

viscid thistle
#

even if the proportions

#

suck

#

?

#

yeah

normal sundial
#

yeah

viscid thistle
#

alrighty well ill take the chance

#

ty bois

last bloom
#

i mean i just looked at all the parts where f'(x) was flat

#

and then that would be a

#

even if its not very accurate

open eagle
#

Why is there the gap in the middle, shouldn't it be 2 petals?

#

That join at (0, 0 radians)

stuck lark
stuck ivy
#

I'm not quite sure how I messed up here since to turn my question into natural law I do ln(x)/ln(6)/ln(x)/ln(7)

uncut mulch
#

not ln(x)/ln(6)/ln(x)/ln(7) but
(ln(x)/ln(6)) / (ln(x)/ln(7))

stuck ivy
#

Yeah

#

you're right

#

I figured it out

#

but it gave me a weird error

#

for the last question

uncut mulch
#

show your working out

stuck ivy
#

Yeah so when I solved it I used x as the numerator out of habit

#

rather than using a instead

uncut mulch
#

is your answer fixed now?

stuck ivy
#

yeah it's good

#

does anyone know how I would solve this?

uncut mulch
#

what have you tried?

stuck ivy
#

I tried to like take out the exponent from the function and put it on the left

proven dove
#

is absolute max also relative max?

stuck ivy
#

I did something like this

stuck lark
#

relative and absolute extrema are NOT the same idea

proven dove
#

i changed it @stuck lark

stuck ivy
#

It wants something like a + b +c

stuck lark
#

still no

proven dove
#

so absolute max cannot also be considered a relative max?

stuck lark
#

it is POSSIBLE for some function to have global max be also a relative max but in general you shouldn't say relative and global extrema are the same

proven dove
#

ok

open eagle
#

isnt global max always a relative max, but not necessarily the other way around

stuck lark
#

not true at all

proven dove
uncut mulch
#

@stuck ivy can log (y^7 z^5) be written as a sum of 2 logs?

stuck ivy
#

like log(y^7) + log(z^5) ?

open eagle
#

yup I was wrong, seems absolute extrema are not considered local if at the end of a functions domain

#

but an absolute extrema can be a relative extrema

proven dove
#

isn't a global max the same as abs max?

stuck lark
#

same thing

proven dove
#

nvm

A rectangular box with a square base is to have a volume of 20 cubic feet. The material for the base costs 30 cents/square foot. The material for the sides costs 10 cents/square foot. The material for the top costs 20 cents/square foot. Determine the dimensions that will yield minimum cost. Let x = length of the side of the base. Construct a rational function to help solve this problem.

Can someone help?

languid crane
#

Why is this channel full of calculus problems

timid dock
#

anyone active/online

#

i really need help

willow bear
timid dock
#

compared to

#

write a 4th deg polynomial with only 3 real zeros

#

for the second question, i accepted that if the multiplicity was two on a zero then the zero wasn't real

willow bear
#

uh. no?

timid dock
#

ok

#

i learned wrong then

willow bear
#

(x-7)^2 has one real zero of multiplicity 2

#

anyway i'm gonna transcribe the problem in plaintext for my own sake so i don't have to squint every time

Write a polynomial of degree 5 with real coefficients that has two real roots, one of multiplicity 2 and one of multiplicity 1.
timid dock
#

sorry

#

i was gonna type it out but i gave up

willow bear
#

yeah so

#

well

#

what have you tried so far for this problem

timid dock
#

i dont even understand what counts as real and imaginary

#

or not real

willow bear
#

wdym, "what counts"

timid dock
#

since we have x(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)(x-4) as a 5th deg polynomial with 5 zeros, what would be considered not to be a real zero

willow bear
#

its zeroes are 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. these are all real numbers.

timid dock
#

so if i get an irrational number then it wouldn't be a real zero?

willow bear
#

why would it not be? irrational numbers are still real.

timid dock
#

i meant imaginary

willow bear
#

x^2 - 2 has -sqrt(2) and sqrt(2) as zeroes. these are both real numbers.

#

ok, i didn't know you meant imaginary when you said irrational.

#

if a zero is not real, then it is not real.

timid dock
#

sry im sleepy

#

so (x+1)(x-1)(x+2)(x+sqrt(-1)) would answer the second question

willow bear
#

hnnfgngh

#

no

timid dock
#

now?

willow bear
#

first off, please write i, not sqrt(-1).

#

second, what you wrote is not a polynomial with real coefficients.

timid dock
#

im not sure if mty teacher can accept that

willow bear
#

accept what

timid dock
#

me writing x+i

#

whatever

#

go on

willow bear
#

why would she not accept that though

#

i mean, aside from your polynomial not having real coefficients

timid dock
#

she gets picky idk

#

the question "write a 4th deg polynomial with only 3 real zeros" did not ask for it

willow bear
#

well ok if it didn't mention real coefficients then that's fine i suppose

timid dock
#

ah ok

#

how would i do the first question then

#

do I find the factored form and then multiply?

willow bear
#

yes, construct the polynomial by its factorization first

timid dock
#

hmm

willow bear
#

one possible polynomial is (x-3)(x-4)^2(x^2+1)

timid dock
#

does the x^2 count towards the degree of 5?

willow bear
#

...what do you mean, "does it count"

#

why would it possibly not count

#

this polynomial is quintic

timid dock
#

oh wait nevermind

#

i didnt think about that

#

yeah yeah sorry

#

see that's my problem. i never think about the simplest things when doing math problems

#

thanks though

willow bear
#

yeah you seem to overthink things a lot

timid dock
#

i agree

#

also

#

what does tuong à prix réduit mean

willow bear
#

"discount Tuong"

timid dock
#

what does that mean

#

im under the impression that tuong is a family name

willow bear
#

it's the name of another honorable

#

@frozen needle

timid dock
#

ah ok

willow bear
#

it's a bit of an injoke

timid dock
#

is it a chain of people à prix réduit

willow bear
#

yes. but i think it currently ends at @spring thunder

timid dock
#

how far does it even go

#

timid dock
#

im only seeing 4

#

a ok

willow bear
#

SA isn't around anymore though 😢

timid dock
#

how long have you been learning french

willow bear
#

about a year

#

i'm shit at it

timid dock
#

i'm seeing a lot of corrections from you

#

it'll come in time

willow bear
#

well i mean i'm shit at actually SPEAKING french

timid dock
#

just practice speaking a lot

#

well

#

hang out in the voice chats more

#

theyre talking right now

#

but mostly in english

timid dock
#

ok

#

more questions

alpine cove
#

@willow bear can we divide vector with another vector

#

?

timid dock
#

why is x-2 an element of the domain of f(x)

willow bear
#

because x-2 is acting as the input to f

#

so it must be in its domain

timid dock
#

oh

#

so i can look at it as g(x)= h(f(j(x)))

#

j(x) being x-2

willow bear
#

if you wish

timid dock
#

got it

willow bear
#

@alpine cove no, that doesn't make any sense

timid dock
#

why is the range from [0,4]

#

oh

#

nvm

#

forget i asked

#

why do we change f(x) to |f(x)| when finding the range

willow bear
#

what do you mean

#

we're finding the range of |f(x)|

timid dock
#

oh is it that easy

willow bear
#

which step are you confused about

timid dock
#

are we building on f(x-2)?

willow bear
#

wdym by "building on"

timid dock
#

and why do we only use the f(x-2)

#

like adding the 0.5

willow bear
#

the 0.5 is not being added

#

it is being multiplied

timid dock
#

thats what i meant but

#

just completing it backwards

willow bear
#

but yes we are starting with f(x-2) and buidling up to g(x) from there

timid dock
#

why do we do that and not the other way around

willow bear
#

we know the range of f

timid dock
#

so if we dont know the range of f we cant do anything

#

given that they don't give us anything to work with

#

holy sh*t pg&e is gonna make me cry

willow bear
#

pg&e?

timid dock
#

no power for half a week

#

it's an american thing

#

#

flint stirrup
#

@timid dock LOL im the part of cali not in that bucket

timid dock
#

in Domain g = {x| |x-3| ∈ [0,∞)} why is it all real numbers

#

is it because there is an absolute value

#

@flint stirrup so cal or middle of the valley/bay area/san jose not foothills

willow bear
#

yes the absolute value of anything is in [0, +∞)

timid dock
#

but not all real numbers are >= 0

willow bear
#

so what

#

|x-3| ≥ 0 is always true

timid dock
#

why is the domain of g all real numbers

#

one sec

#

sry i didnt give the entire question

willow bear
#

|x-3| ≥ 0 is true for any real value of x

willow bear
#

yeah, sqrt(|x-3|) is defined for all real x since |x-3| ≥ 0 always

timid dock
#

ohh

#

i always get the order wrong

#

how would you solev for the domain of g(x)

#

no need to type the answer just tell me how you would do it

willow bear
#

the only point not in the domain of g is the point which makes |x-3| = 0

timid dock
#

so as long as |x-3| is not 0

#

|x-3| != 0 would be an acceptable domain?

willow bear
#

don't be obtuse

#

don't write it that way

timid dock
#

well

#

=/= is kinda long

willow bear
#

that isn't what i'm talking about

timid dock
#

oh

willow bear
#

!= for ≠ is fine

#

what isn't fine is that you insist on not writing this thing as x != 3

timid dock
#

i was gonna say -3 < x < 3

#

wait wait

willow bear
#

no!

timid dock
#

sorry

#

do i only have to add 3 to each side to get that

#

or do i also consider the |x-3| < 0 part

willow bear
#

are you being serious rn

#

|x-3| = 0 has only one solution

#

x=3

timid dock
#

its 2 am and i cant think straight

willow bear
#

why are you doing math at 2 am

timid dock
#

no idea

#

i dont understand anything and it bothers me

willow bear
#

go get some sleep ffs

timid dock
#

aaggh

#

so the domain is just x != 3

willow bear
#

go. get. some. mother. fucking. sleep. 2 am. is. not. a. time. to. do. math.

timid dock
#

please just 5 more minutes

willow bear
#

no goddamn clue, it seems really fucking irrelevant given how g doesn't involve f at all

timid dock
#

got it

#

how about the range of g

#

am i still building off of |x-3|

willow bear
#

the problem is poorly written

timid dock
#

the teacher is extremely ambiguous sometimes

#

well i guess 5 minutes is up

#

im gonna go sleep now

#

thanks for the help

Just for curiosity

hollow bluff
#

is this correct?

limber bone
#

vertex (-b/2a,f(-b/2a))

#

xintercepts solve x^2+10x+21

hollow bluff
#

oh wait did i get it wrong?

#

im used that formula

hollow bluff
#

Is this correct?

willow bear
#

,w x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 10 = 0

obsidian monolithBOT
willow bear
#

nope

hollow bluff
#

how would I solve this problem?

serene heath
#

How did u get that

willow bear
#

well

#

how did you end up at that polynomial

hollow bluff
#

Somebody in class was explaining it to me

#

and he said he got that but i still dont know how to do it

#

so that's why I came here

willow bear
#

so you copied this from someone else?

#

without knowing how it was arrived at, at all?

hollow bluff
#

He tried explaining it but I just didnt understand his process

#

So what are the right steps to solving this?

#

wait

willow bear
#

dispel from your head the notion that there is always a uniquely defined set of "right steps" to do a given problem.

hollow bluff
#

ok

#

let me try at this one more time

#

Is this correct?

#

That is how i got to it

#

Sorry its flipped its from my phone

willow bear
#

,rotate -90

obsidian monolithBOT
hollow bluff
#

oh that's helpful

willow bear
#

um

#

yeah no

#

this is wrong

hollow bluff
#

oh well then

willow bear
#

for starters, this has 0 as a root. and also fails to have 2+i or 2-i as roots.

#

p sure you fucked up with the minus signs here, both in placement and in accidental omission

hollow bluff
#

oh

#

ok how do I solve it then?

willow bear
#

well

#

let me ask you this

#

how did you arrive at what you wrote

hollow bluff
#

well to get zeros you must = the equation to 0

#

So if the zeros are 2, and 2+i

limber bone
#

complex roots

#

always come as pairs

hollow bluff
#

then (x-2) has a zero of 2

willow bear
#

@limber bone please do not interrupt!!!!

limber bone
#

lol

willow bear
#

ok @hollow bluff so far so good

#

a factor of (x-2) gives you 2 as a zero

#

that is correct

hollow bluff
#

alright

#

so I tried to recall what my teacher said about the i equations and i thought [x(x(2+i)] was right

willow bear
#

um

#

"the i equations"?

#

first off

hollow bluff
#

the complex zeros

willow bear
#

"2+i" isn't an equation

#

an equation has, first and foremost, an equals sign

#

why else would it be called an equation

hollow bluff
#

yea I just couldnt find the right word

#

sorry

willow bear
#

it's very important that you know the right word(s).

#

otherwise, you will not be able to communicate well.

hollow bluff
#

oh ok

#

is it a complex zero?

willow bear
#

second, it's not like complex numbers are that different from real numbers

#

the corresponding factor would be (x - (2+i)), plain and simple.

#

but then, you'll want the conjugate too, since the polynomial has to have real coefficients. so (x - (2-i)) is your third factor.

hollow bluff
#

Oh ok so i messed up with the subtraction sign and its placement

willow bear
#

all that's left is to multiply these three together.

hollow bluff
#

ok let me write it out

#

so I have a question

#

are brackets necessary?

willow bear
#

what brackets

hollow bluff
#

my teachers uses [ ]

willow bear
#

oh, do you mean [] vs ()?

hollow bluff
#

[x - (2-i)]

#

that's how he would have written it

willow bear
#

the only difference is aesthetic

hollow bluff
#

ah ok

#

unless its about inequalities

#

(-infinity, 7]

#

right?

willow bear
#

[] have a different meaning as part of interval notation, yes.

hollow bluff
#

thats right

#

unless I dont know how to multiply

#

,w x^3 - 6x^2 + 13x - 10 = 0

hollow bluff
#

ayyyy

#

thank you ann

#

Hi i need help

spring thunder
#

well, what could prevent 4/(x²+7x-8) from being defined?

lament garden
#

Do i have to make the x^2 + 7x -8 equal to 0? Sorry it’s that my teacher really dosen’t teach so i have to do the things by myself

spring thunder
#

yeah if the denominator is 0 you're pretty screwed indeed

lament garden
#

Oh

#

Sorry for my handwriting is it like that?

serene heath
#

Na

lament garden
#

It’s not?

serene heath
#

Expand it out

lament garden
#

How?

grim current
#

Let's go through your original expression. You have (x^2 + 7x - 8) in the denominator.

#

But first, I'll ask you a question. Let's say you have 2 apples, and there are 0 people to distribute it to. Does it make sense to distribute them?

#

@lament garden

lament garden
#

Oh my bad i had to go eat

grim current
#

Dw. So, does it make sense?

lament garden
#

yeah

grim current
#

Why?

#

Note you have no people to distribute it to.

#

It could be written as "2/0". A division that shows 2 apples are being distributed among 0 people.

#

But it doesn't make sense to do such division if you don't have - in this case - someone to divide it by (or distribute it to).

#

Do you get it?

green zenith
#

how do we solve 5^(2log5(3)+log5(2))?

#

im familiar with the rules of the logarithm but logarithm in the exponents are very confusing to me

uncut mulch
#

how well do you know your exponent laws?

green zenith
#

about average

uncut mulch
#

do you have an idea of what your first step should be?

green zenith
#

yeah i think i got it a little bit now

#

the product rule of logarithm

#

the power rule, first, then product rule

#

and one of the properties of logarithm

#

ah i got it now

uncut mulch
#

nice

green zenith
#

thanks

green zenith
#

is there a way to simplify (-5/log(2/3))log2?

#

i was trying to solve an equation and im stuck there

#

i have to find the equation of y=c+b.loga(x) that contains the two points (2,4) and (3,9)

#

so i minus both equations 4-9=c-c+blog2-blog3

#

which gets me b = -5/log(2/3)

#

then i use one of the points of the graph to solve the equation and put b in it

#

4=c+(-5/log(2/3))log2

#

here is where i'm stuck. could the two logs be divided normally?

clever agate
#

How do you get that?

willow bear
#

$(4-\sqrt{5})^2 = 16 + 5 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \sqrt{5}$

#

f(x)=x^2 is a algebraic function ,g(x) =sinx is a trig f then what is h(x)=x^2+sinx

willow bear
#

neither

#

as in, there's no named class it falls under

alpine cove
#

What are these types of f called

willow bear
#

there is no name

alpine cove
#

Ok.

#

Also

#

Lets say $h(x)=f(x)+g(x)+k(x)$ then the domain is $D_f \cap D_g \cap D_k$ .

obsidian monolithBOT
alpine cove
#

?

#

D_n represents domain of n(k)

willow bear
#

yes

alpine cove
#

Ok

alpine cove
#

${x:x , x^2=9 ,2x=4 }$ does that comma mean intersection?

obsidian monolithBOT
heady jewel
#

you have 2 commas

alpine cove
#

The comma between x^2=9 and 2x=4

#

@heady jewel

willow bear
#

uh

#

this is a very weird way to describe the empty set but sure commas in this context mean AND

alpine cove
#

Yes that what i wanted to ask

green zenith
#

When equating exponents, do we always use ln and not log?

hard hornet
#

give an example

green zenith
#

Like 5^x=7

hard hornet
#

you can use ln, or log base n, as long as it's consistent

#

but ln is slightly more preferred

green zenith
#

What do you mean by log base n?

hard hornet
#

$\log_2(x)$

obsidian monolithBOT
hard hornet
#

lemme generalze

#

$\log_n(x)$

obsidian monolithBOT
hard hornet
#

any base

#

ln is base e

green zenith
#

So as long as im using the same base for both sides?

hard hornet
#

yup

green zenith
#

But isnt log(x) not equals to ln(x)?

hard hornet
#

mmm not quite

#

$\log_e(x) = \ln(x)$

obsidian monolithBOT
hard hornet
#

when you are taking the logarithm of something, the base matters

#

$log_2(16) = 4$

#

while

obsidian monolithBOT

#

Ahhh

#

It was confusing me because the calculator is not posting the same answers

#

I thought ln(7)/ln(5) is not equal to log(7)/log(5)

willow bear
#

ln(7)/ln(5) IS equal to log(7)/log(5).

green zenith
#

Ahhhh okay

#

My calculator had me confused

#

Thanks

hard hornet
#

yes they're equal, but the base matters, in the case of comparing logs, they're not equal, but if you did something like what u did above, theyre the same

rugged nimbus
#

Help me polar coordinates so hard

willow bear
#

what exactly are you finding hard about polar coordinates

#

is there a problem that involves them that you're stuck on

rugged nimbus
willow bear
#
  1. don't advertise your questions in other channels, as per the rules
  2. don't ping me out of left field like this
viscid thistle
#

oh srry but fluffyy was also putting his/her question in 2 channels even though the channel i put in my question first then she put in hers

rugged nimbus
#

Why u dragging me

#

U alr send it so not get scrolled again

viscid thistle
#

cause u posted ur exact same question in questions-B and questions-y

prisma prairie
#

hi can someone let me know what i’m doing wrong

willow bear
#

third line

#

$e^{a+b} \neq e^a + e^b$

obsidian monolithBOT
viscid thistle
#

im confused as to why the angle was subtracted from 360

#

the vector lies in the third quadrant, shouldnt we use 180 + theta?

willow bear
#

cos(180°+θ) is not equal to cos(θ) so you can't do that

viscid thistle
#

im talking about the direction of angle

#

not cos(180+theta)

#

last line beta = 360 - arccos(...)

#

why isnt it beta = 180 + arccos(...)

#

the vector lies within the third quadrant

willow bear
#

well for starters arccos(negative value) lies in quadrant 2

viscid thistle
#

so if the angle lies within quadrant 2 we subtract it from 360?

willow bear
#

no

#

subtracting the angle from 360° preserves its cosine

#

cos(360°-x) = cos(x)

#

but if x is in quadrants 1 or 2 then 360°-x is in quadrants 4 or 3 resp

green zenith
#

when estimating large numbers, do we always use log K?

#

for example K=e^700

#

do we always log both side instead of using ln?

willow bear
#

well you want to estimate

#

so at least to get an order of magnitude estimation yeah you'll need decimal log

green zenith
#

Is it because log have base 10 that we use it for estimating?

willow bear
#

yes

green zenith
#

Okay

#

Thanks

lyric cliff

Hey, How do I find the average rate of change of f(x)=2^x? Without an interval given.

hearty storm
proud sparrow
#

@lyric cliff well, maybe you need to assume an interval [a, b]

#

can we see the original question?

#

@hearty storm what do you think? How do you convert?

hearty storm
#

i just figured it out 😛

#

thank you tho

#

@proud sparrow

hollow bluff
willow bear
#

what have you tried

#

and which part is confusing you

hollow bluff
#

I dont know how to attempt it

#

like would another zero be -3-2i

river kindle
#

I believe so. imaginary zeroes typically have a conjugate

hollow bluff
#

that's what im thinking

willow bear
#

it's not "typically"

#

if your polynomial has real coefficients, then its nonreal zeroes ALWAYS come in conjugate pairs

hollow bluff
#

ok

river kindle
#

Well, I just learned this stuff last chapter, so I spoke without confidence on the always. 😛

willow bear
#

-3i would have been a valid answer to a as well

hollow bluff
#

alright so I get that part now

#

I wasnt confident with my answer

willow bear
#

so you know that R has 4 nonreal zeroes already

patent beacon
#

You can't get real coefficients without having the conjugate as a root as well, to give reasoning

willow bear
#

you're gonna need that info to do b

hollow bluff
#

4 nonreal zeros because of the 3i and -3+2i right?

willow bear
#

3i, -3+2i and their conjugates

#

yes

hollow bluff
#

ok

patent beacon
#

You can always have others too

#

That they're just not telling you about

hollow bluff
#

ok wait give me a second

#

Writing this down

river kindle
#

Well, they're asking maximum, so I wouldn't get hung up on that technicality as far as answering.

hollow bluff
#

So if i understand this then if the polynomial has real coefficients then its nonreal zeroes always will have conjugate pairs

#

and because we singled out 4 nonreal zeroes we can solve B

patent beacon
#

Yes, exactly

hollow bluff
#

so is it because 11-4= 7 real zeroes im allowed to answer B?

river kindle
#

That would be how I would answer b, myself

willow bear
#

yes there are 7 more zeroes that haven't been pinned down and it's impossible for there to be more than 7 real ones

hollow bluff
#

alright

willow bear
#

so yes b is 7

hollow bluff
#

and C is 4

patent beacon
#

Nope, you can have more complex zeroes

river kindle
#

I don't think so. It's asking for max

hollow bluff
#

o

#

what is one way of finding the other nonreal zeros

river kindle
#

And you need at least one real for the conjugate stuff to be true, if I understand it.

willow bear
#

you don't need to find them

#

but what you do know is that they come in pairs

hollow bluff
#

alright

willow bear
#

so there's gonna be an even number of them

#

bc yknow

#

pairs

hollow bluff
#

mhm

willow bear
#

so with 11 zeroes total...

hollow bluff
#

so would that mean instead of 7 real zeroes one isnt part of a pair?

#

so would that one be a nonreal

willow bear
#

yes you'll always have one real zero

#

uh no

patent beacon
#

These would have to be different polynomials

willow bear
#

the zero that isn't part of a pair IS real

hollow bluff
#

Oh ok

patent beacon
#

The one with 7 real zeroes is not the same one with max complex zeroes

hollow bluff
#

alright

#

so with that all explained to me What i understand is that I dont have to find the unreal numbers right?

#

but how would i find the total number of unreal numbers

willow bear
#

"unreal"

hollow bluff
#

oh nonreal

#

my bad

willow bear
#

okay so like

#

the nonreal zeroes of your polynomial come in pairs

#

and there's 11 of them total

hollow bluff
#

22?

willow bear
#

no

#

11 zeroes

#

not 11 pairs

hollow bluff
#

yes

#

ah my bad

willow bear
#

if you have 11 objects and you're arranging them in pairs, how many pairs can you make

hollow bluff
#

5

#

with one leftover

willow bear
#

yes

#

so

#

so if your nonreal zeroes form 5 conjugate pairs

#

and the eleventh zero is real

hollow bluff
#

oh

#

so 5 is the maximum of nonreal zeroes

willow bear
#

no

hollow bluff
#

wait 10

willow bear
#

5 PAIRS

#

yes

hollow bluff
#

my bad

#

I was thinking 5 pairs

#

sorry

#

so if we had a degree of 15 then we would have 7 pairs making 14 the maximum number of nonreal zeros

#

Thank you ann

#

initial price of an item is when you set t=0 right?

willow bear
#

initial

stuck lark
#

the word "initial" does indicate at the start of time, so yes, the initial price is presumably when t=0

hollow bluff
#

ez

alpine cove
#

Cant get the question. Ex.5

willow bear
#

$\bigcup_{i=1}^{30} A_i$

obsidian monolithBOT
willow bear
#

is this what you wanted to type

alpine cove
#

Yes lol

#

I dont get the question

#

Ann do u know how to do this

limber bone
#

whats A_i

proud sparrow
#

probably something to do with incidence matrices (okay maybe not)

#

It's just a 5 element set

#

Think about the total number of elements in B_1...B_N

alpine cove
#

I want to understand the question

proud sparrow
#

looks like you are interrupting something

#

oh wait

#

you changed dp

#

no wonder

#

okay tell me what you understand from the question so far

alpine cove
#

I get the question

proud sparrow
#

okay, so now you know how to solve it?

alpine cove
proud sparrow
#

what do you get so far?

#

ah they typoed

alpine cove
#

What ?

proud sparrow
#

$n(S)=\frac{1}{10}\sum_{i=1}^{30}n(A_i)$

obsidian monolithBOT
alpine cove
#

Yws that what they wrote

proud sparrow
#

no they didn't write this

#

okay where are you lost?

alpine cove
#

I dont get why they divided by 10

proud sparrow
#

because each element is in 10 sets

#

by counting the number of elements in Ai, we have overcounted by a factor of 10

alpine cove
#

Boi

#

$n(S)=\sum_{i=1}^{30}n(A_i)=A_1 \cup A_2...\cup A_{30}$

#

Right?

obsidian monolithBOT
alpine cove
#

Repeatition of elements are immaterial.

#

So i think we must not divide by 10

willow bear
#

actually, no, you are wrong on that front

#

first off

#

the second equals sign equates a NUMBER with a SET, which is nonsensical

#

@alpine cove

alpine cove
#

Oh yes

willow bear
#

so what you wrote is nonsense

alpine cove
#

Yes.Sorry about that

#

$n(S)=\sum_{i=1}^{30}n(A_i)=n(A_1 \cup A2...\cup A{30})$

obsidian monolithBOT
willow bear
#

now that's no longer nonsensical but just wrong

#

n(A U B) != n(A) + n(B) generally

#

the first and the last quantities are in fact equal to each other (even if the one on the right is badly typeset) but not to the quantity in the middle

#

because yes $S = A_1 \cup A_2 \cup \cdots \cup A_{30}$

obsidian monolithBOT
alpine cove

I juusr cant undesrtand the problem aand solution

leaden stratus
flint vale
#

Can you convert the roots to exponent form

#

As some of it already is

leaden stratus
#

Uhm... yeah, (2^(x+1))^1/2 @flint vale

#

You're right

flint vale
#

you can remove the outer parenthesis then

#

and multiply the half by the the rest of the exponent bc they are both exponents

#

do for right side too

#

observe the difference in powers between 2 and 4 to make them the same

leaden stratus
#

No, it will be x < 15 the result

#

So we have to exclude this procediment

flint vale
#

what is the question

#

i thought you solve for x

#

and compare with the inequality on the side

#

ur right tho

leaden stratus
#

No, sorry. I solved it

#

You're right

flint vale
#

im just curious what the question is

leaden stratus
#

Find the x

flint vale
#

yes, you did that

leaden stratus
#

Yeah. I forgot multipling for 2 the second term

trim fable
#

guys

#

I have a question

leaden stratus
#

P.S. Thanks @flint vale

flint vale
#

mp

leaden stratus
#

@trim fable what's your question

trim fable
#

how would u do this

#

one sec

#

this

#

@leaden stratus 😛

leaden stratus
#

Uhm, I don't think I've done an inequality with more than an inequality symbol

#

But I think you have to separate the inequalities

#

Then you find the intersection of the inequalities. The first one does not have a solution. I found that the first one gives x < 3 and x > 4 but leads to no solution

trim fable
#

uh

#

how

remote relic
#

you need to isolate the x

trim fable
#

how 😅

#

lol im good at math but this stuff is just confusing me..

#

like im like wow i dont know ahhhh!!

#

coz like dont u get

remote relic
#

so

trim fable
#

-x-6>x>-x-8?

#

unlessssssss

#

u bring the x's to the middle?

#

then divide 😮

#

OH

remote relic
#

hold on

#

im going to try to solve it

regal peak
#

how do i solve 4 log(2,n) = n
(that's log base 2)

remote relic
#

@trim fable so you need to seperate the inequality

trim fable
#

what do u mean by

remote relic
#

so then you would have x-3 < 3-x and 3-x<x-5

trim fable
#

oh

remote relic
#

yes

#

then you move all the x to one side

#

then you do the same thing for the other equation

trim fable
#

ok so then u get

#

3>x and 4<x

remote relic
#

yes

trim fable
#

and for the second one

remote relic
#

which would make it no solution

#

for the second one you would do the same process

trim fable
#

x>-3 and 4>x

#

but why is that no solution?

#

how do u know when there isn't a solution

flint river
#

it is

remote relic
#

the first one is no solution because you can't have x be less than 3 and also be greater than 4

flint river
#

-3 < x < 4

trim fable
#

makes sense

#

thanksss guyss

#

wait but

#

for

#

3>x>4

#

wont the number line be like this

flint river
#

uh there's no number below 3 and above 4 at the same time

trim fable
#

it goes both ways right

#

oh so like if x is 2 it cant be less than 3 and greater than 4

#

makes sense!!!!!!!

#

LOL

#

oh

#

i have another question

#

equation from # 12 is

#

so should i just think of f as being x? and same with c?

flint river
#

yeah solve for F

trim fable
#

so c would be like x?

#

or f is like x?

#

i dont get this

#

the c and f are confusing me

#

@flint river

flint river
#

it converts from C to F

stuck lark
#

you're being really unclear when you say "is F like x?"

yeah solve for F

that's all there is to it. isolate F

trim fable
#

lol

#

ok

flint river
#

its some function which given x yields some y value

#

so in this case C is x

trim fable
#

so like

#

(9c/5)+32= F

#

so thats all I had to do?

stuck lark
#

👍🏽

trim fable
#

ok

#

but like

#

hows that an inequality?

#

the inequality things just confusing me

#

can someone just tell me what an inequality means

stuck lark
#

first off

(9c/5)+32= F
is not an inequality

trim fable
#

whats an inequality tho

stuck lark
#

a statement saying that two values are not equal

#

$a<b$ tells us a is less than b

obsidian monolithBOT
willow bear
stuck lark
#

isn't that more effort than linking lmgtfy?

willow bear
#

yes it is

#

but a lmgtfy link doesn't have the same amount of sass

stuck lark
#

you are right

trim fable
#

uh what

#

lol

#

ok

stuck lark
#

look, first read what i said about what a<b means. if you're still confused on inequalities, then look through your past algebra material on that stuff, or google it as suggested

trim fable
#

ok im not confused anymore

pseudo sonnet
#

Determine which quadrant the terminal side of the angle -16.92lies in.

#

what is -16.92?

#

the angle or length of terminal side

#

im confused af

stuck lark
#

the angle

pseudo sonnet
#

oh

#

im assuming -16.92 is radians then?

stuck lark
#

i'd assume so too

pseudo sonnet
#

how do I convert -16.92 to degrees if I cant use 180/pie

clear glade
#

how do i find phase shift of a graph?

pseudo sonnet
#

is this how I would do it?

#

then keep adding 360 till i get to coterminal

#

its suppose to be -16.92

stuck lark
#

are you not confident in traveling around the unit circle using radians?

pseudo sonnet
#

well the problem is

#

im use to seeing x/Pie radians

#

this is just -16.92

#

would I add 2pie

stuck lark
#

what's an approximate decimal representation of pi?

pseudo sonnet
#

till its positive

#

3.14

stuck lark
#

how about 2pi?

pseudo sonnet
#

6.28

stuck lark
#

now run with that

pseudo sonnet
#

but i want an exact answer

#

not approximation

#

wait so

#

do I add 2pi to -16.92

#

or do I add 6.28 to -16.92

stuck lark
#

getting a decimal in converting rad to deg will never be exact since the conversion involves pi

#

then keep adding 360 till i get to coterminal
what's the equivalent action when working in radians?

pseudo sonnet
#

2pie

#

but since the original question isnt in pie radians

#

do I just approximate 2pie to 6.28

#

then add that to -16.92

#

till i get to positive coterminal

stuck lark
#

sounds fine

velvet elm
#

I use change of base and get log(b,2.8) over log(b,5b), (sorry I don't know latex)

#

so the denom = B+1, but i don't know what to do with the logb2.8

willow bear
#

$\frac{\log_b(2.8)}{\log_b(5b)} = \frac{\log_b(2.8)}{B+1}$

obsidian monolithBOT
willow bear
#

so this is what you have to far, right?

velvet elm
#

Yes

willow bear
#

$2.8 = \frac{14}{5}$

obsidian monolithBOT
velvet elm
#

Ohh...

#

Hmm let me think where to take that, but that helps! thanks!

#

(A+C-B)/B+1

#

Thank you! @willow bear

willow bear
#

the denom needs parentheses around it too but yes

velvet elm
#

You're right, I wrote it into my online homework correctly, just not here

@stuck lark is my work right

and it worked

#

lol

stuck lark
#

how did you find the coterminal of some big ugly angle?

gentle vigil
#

For sin, cos, sec, csc, it's better to add or subtract multiples of $2\pi$, not $\pi$

smh

stuck lark
#

do you know the general form of a quadratic equation?

hoary valley
#

yes x^2 + x + number = 0 @stuck lark

something like that

how would you deal with that?
