cobalt ridge
#

Why is (-2)^6 diff than -2^6

lone heartBOT
snow spire
#

negative two is included within the base

#

so one would result in a negative

alpine sable
#

-2^6 = -(2^6)

cobalt ridge
#

Pls explain I still no understand

#

Hello

cobalt ridge
#

Oh wait

alpine sable
#

if you see 3-4², then you read it as 3-(4²)

#

Ohhh

they are one unit

it’s 2 to the 6 power

mystic parrot
#

so here are 5 questions i didn’t get in my review for a test i have tomorrow based on the material (complex numbers, operations w/ complex numbers, matrix operations: add, sub, mult by a scalar, and vectors operations)

for #7, I’ve been taught that matrixes must have the same dimensions, or else they’re undefined if they cannot be added/ subtracted; i chose undefined as my answer but didn’t get it right and would like an explanation to the correct answer and why

for #11, i didn’t understand how to find the value of b and at first went by finding the vector of the given line (<a, b>) and then using the pythagorean theorem (square root a^2 + b^2) but that didn’t work as my final answer was none of the choices given

for #17, i tried finding the magnitude of l, m, and n and substitute the answers with the equation given but my answer again, was none of the ones given

for #22, i have a feeling it’s solved by distributing but don’t know how to approach it or where to start

and for #24, don’t understand where i was incorrect on half of my work

(pictures provided below in order if dc doesn’t mess up)

gusty gorge
#

for question 11, not sure what you mean by using the pythagorean theorem

#

it was asking for a vector, not the magnitude

#

for 17, it is not true in general that | l + n - m | = |l| + |n| - |m|

#

not sure what question 22 is asking, haven't seen an actual question there

#

as for question 24, I don't see any work you've shown

#

,w (-3 - 4i)^2

@mystic parrot Has your question been resolved?

figured out what i did wrong on 24—forgot the i in the second 12 and forgot to make it i^2 on the 16

#

and figured out 17

#

anyways i’ll close this now—ty for the help

alpine sable
#

Is there any integer such that x + x = 1?

alpine sable
#

In this problem, the domain is the set of all integers. Which statements are true? If an existential statement is true, give an example. If a universal statement is false, give a counterexample. 

(a) ∃x (x + x = 1) ```
#

confused because I can't think of a single integer where this would be true

#

but the question is worded in a way that implies it is true and my task is to prove it

Let h(x) = f(x)g(x).

if f(x) = -4x^2 + 5x -2, g(2)= 3, g'(2) = -2

What is h'(2)?

rose sigil
#

you can use the product rule to write h'(2) in terms of f(2), f'(2), g(2), and g'(2)

pseudo moon
#

I apologize I am not that familiar with the product rule. Could you explain that for me? If not I'll try to watch a video. First time here, sorry!

rose sigil
#

oh, have you ever seen it before?

pseudo moon
#

I'm trying to learn up on calculus in order to get better at it. I've sorta seen it but never really understood the idea of it.

rose sigil
#

it gives you a recipe to compute the derivative of a product of functions

#

it might be better to watch a video or something

Okay no worries I'll do that. Thank you. One second

rose ivy
#

how would I isolate n where n > the rest of the terms

carmine pagoda
#

plus or minus

#

do you know what that is

rose ivy
#

yeah

#

does it make a difference if I know that n > 1? which means the denominator would always be negative

vale wigeon
#

is there more context to this

rose ivy
#

I'm trying to do a proof for limit of a sequence

#

and I need to isolate n, where n > M which would be the rest of the terms

carmine pagoda
#

24/(5(3-5n^2) = +- H

#

then seperate the equation and solve for n?

alpine sable
#

this isnt equal

#

this is <

alpine sable
#

so u can translate this to -24/(5(3-5n^2))<H

rose ivy
#

do the absolute value signs need to be there

alpine sable
#

yes without the absolute u could get a different answer

rose ivy
#

wait so |-24/ 5(3-5n^2) | < H?

alpine sable
#

no

#

see as n>1

#

n^2>1

rose ivy
#

yeah

alpine sable
#

5n^2>5

#

so 3-5n^2 this bit is negative

#

5 times that bit is negative

#

24 by that bit is negative

rose ivy
#

yeah i get that

#

so i can remove the absolute value signs?

alpine sable
#

so in the absolute u are just taking away the negative which is the same thing as multplying the -1

rose ivy
#

oh

alpine sable
#

like |-1|=-(-1)=1

rose ivy
#

so it would end up as just 24/5(3-5n^2)

alpine sable
#

negative 1 times that

#

-24/(5(3-5n^2))=24/(5(5n^2-3))

rose ivy
alpine sable
#

do you know $|x|=-x$ if $x<=0$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

alpine sable
#

in this case $\frac{24}{5(3-5n^2)}<0$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

rose ivy
alpine sable
#

so $|\frac{24}{5(3-5n^2)}|=-\frac{24}{5(3-5n^2)}$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

alpine sable
#

thats what i am saying

rose ivy
rose ivy
#

oh

alpine sable
#

now u are left with $\frac{24}{5(5n^2-3)}<H$[bring the - to the denominator and multply it out]

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

rose ivy
#

what

alpine sable
rose ivy
#

ok

alpine sable
ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

bro stop it

#

<@&268886789983436800>

rose ivy
#

omg

alpine sable
alpine sable
rose ivy
#

yeah

alpine sable
#

ok now if i distribute the 5 then $25n^2-15>\frac{24}{H}$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

alpine sable
#

i hope u can do it from here

rose ivy
#

yeah

#

got it

#

thanks @alpine sable

i need to work on my absolute value skills 💀

#

i think there is only one square root of 225 and 15

alpine sable
#

what do you by understand by square root lemme ask first

dark patrol
#

the opposite of square is square root

alpine sable
#

correct

#

it tells u what number/numbers when u square it gives the desired value

#

and what do you understand by $\sqrt{x}$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

alpine sable
#

for x>=0

dark patrol
#

ok

alpine sable
dark patrol
alpine sable
#

no not exactly

#

it has a more specific name

#

principal square root

dark patrol
#

ok

alpine sable
#

$\sqrt{225}=15$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

alpine sable
#

but isnt $(-15)^2=225$

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

dark patrol
#

oh

#

i am so dumb

alpine sable
#

but the principal square root only gives the non negative solution

alpine sable
dark patrol
#

ye

alpine sable
#

or 1

#

if sqrt(0) for example

slender gull
#

No square root of a non negative number only means the non negative value lol.

#

Sqrt(4) is 2 always.

#

Bruh

slender gull
#

yes

#

sqrt(x^2) = |x|

alpine sable
#

no 99% sure its a no

#

sqrt is principal square root

#

not square root

slender gull
#

bruh

#

,w sqrt(4)

ocean sealBOT
slender gull
#

Is always 2

#

Never -2

alpine sable
#

coz $\sqrt{x}$ is not the square root

ocean sealBOT
#

does calc even end(cat gang)

its the principle square root

sqrt is square root, the square root is always meant for the positive value.

alpine sable
#

we cannot argue whats defined as what if we dont use another source except telling each other as this is defined as that

#

so here i have for u

#

a source

ornate condor
#

this is your source, it says sqrt(x) is positive, we use a negative in front to denote the negative version of it

heady imp
#

Let 𝑡 be a parameter. For which values ​​of 𝑡 does the system of equations have a) exactly one solution, b) no solution or c) infinitely many solutions?

#

thats what i have done so far, but i have no clue how to start with b) (no solution) or c) (infinitely many). Can anyone explain how I can start/complete this or know a good video that explain similar problem?

#

<@&286206848099549185>

gusty gorge
#

basically all values of t such that t / 1 = 10/(t+3) fall into either (b) or (c), because you can imagine that both of the x and y cancel out

#

so you just get some number = some other number

#

and if it's true, then you get infinitely many solutions (the values of x and y don't matter)

#

and if it's false, then no value of x and y is going to satisfy that

#

so if t/1 = 10/(t+3) = 8/2t, then you have infinitely many solutions

#

otherwise if just t/1 = 10/(t+3), you have no solution

#

if you want to see it in matrix form, reduce to rref and look for what makes the left matrix have a row with all zeroes

heady imp
#

I think I understood it. Thanks

dawn quail
#

Is (2.5/5) considered a rational number?

lone heartBOT
ornate condor
#

yes

gray isle
#

what's the definition of a rational number?

#

and does that apply here

dawn quail
#

My professor told me it’s not rational and it’s not irrational

#

Because of the decimal

gray isle
#

your professor is wrong

dawn quail
#

Lol

#

So it is rational?

gray isle
#

are you sure those were his exact words?

dawn quail
#

I have to double check with him but I’m certain he said the decimal makes it different

gray isle
#

if your number can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers,
then it's rational

dawn quail
#

2.5 is an integer

gray isle
#

is he implying that 2.5 is an irrational number?

dawn quail
#

I think so

gray isle
#

2.5 is not an integer

dawn quail
#

What is 2.5?

sudden hinge
#

its a rational, too because it can be written as 5/2

dawn quail
#

2.5 is the same as 5/2?

#

Hmmm I will have to think about that

#

Interesting

#

Is that the case for all decimal numbers?

dawn quail
#

So what do we call (2.5/5)?

#

Rational?

gray isle
#

if your number can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers,
then it's rational

sudden hinge
#

a rational divided by a rational is always a rational

gray isle
#

also ^

dawn quail
#

What is it called when decimal is divided by integer?

gray isle
#

depends on the decimal

dawn quail
#

2.5

#

/5

gray isle
#

if your number can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers,
then it's rational

dawn quail
#

So it’s not rational?

gray isle
#

i said can be

dawn quail
#

But it’s also not irrational either?

sudden hinge
#

integers are a subset of the rationals, so you still could interpret "decimal divided by integer" as "rational divided by rational"
any integer is also a rational, but not all rationals are integers

gray isle
#

just because you don't originally have an integer divided by an integer doesn't make what you have irrational

dawn quail
#

OK but on it’s own (2.5/5) without any conversion what would you call it?

#

Not rational

#

But also not irrational?

gray isle
#

no

#

don't make me copy pasta again

dawn quail
#

You already stated what rational is with p/q

#

But what if p is not rational

gray isle
#

if your number can be expressed in the form

#

it doesn't matter what you're starting with

#

Oh so to say (2.5/5) is not rational is incorrect

gray isle
#

yes. that can be expressed as 1/2 which is rational (and would satisfy the definition of a rational number)

dawn quail
#

At the end of the day it can be converted in 5/10 and 1/2 so therefor it is rational. It just isn’t obvious from the very beginning with decimal but it can be expressed in this form so therefor it is rational

#

OK I think I understand now.. I think what the instructor was trying to demonstrate is that 2.5/5 is not it’s final form to be rational but he didn’t explain it very well

#

Thank you for the clarification

gray isle
#

and also

a rational divided by a rational is always a rational
(if you aren't dividing by 0)

dawn quail
#

Right the denom can never be 0

gray isle
#

also note that repeating decimals are also rational

dawn quail
#

Right

#

And pi

#

And e maybe?

gray isle
#

no

#

pi and e are irrational

dawn quail
#

Oh sorry

dawn quail
#

Why would repeating decimals be rational?

#

Because there is an end to it?

#

The pattern

#

With pi there is no known end

#

And infinity too

gray isle
#

Why would repeating decimals be rational?
look up converting repeating decimals to fractions

serene heart
#

how to know the orientation of a parabola with the points of a parabola without graphing?

serene heart
#

like if we have 3 points in a parabola how do i know its y or x ?

#

from the points alone?

vale wigeon
#

you don't

trim wagon
#

Do you have a question to work

vale wigeon
#

unless two of them just happen to align horizontally or vertically, i guess...

serene heart
#

31

trim wagon
#

Right as Ann said

serene heart
#

so you graph it ?

trim wagon
#

Look at (1,2) and (3,2)

#

They align vertically right?

#

Meaning for same value of y there are 2 different values of x

mellow tusk
#

ohnvm

serene heart
#

hm

#

for number 32 how do we solve it?

#

we have to find for h and c

trim wagon
#

h and c being?

serene heart
#

Ah we are finding for the equation here

#

so i just need the c and the h

#

(x-h)^2=4c(y-k)

in my textbook (about limits) they went through this step:

tan(pix + pi/2) = -1 / tan(pix)

what formula did they use?

raven rivet
#

thanks

vale wigeon

tan(t+pi/2) = sin(t + pi/2)/cos(t + pi/2) = cos(t)/(-sin(t))

The dots of the plane have been colored in 2015 different colours. We say that triangle ABC is colored if its three vertices, A, B, and C are the same colour. Prove that there are an infinite number of triangles, all of the same color and the same area.

@oak perch

carmine reef
#

Old competition problem I see

alpine sable
#

it seems easy tho

carmine reef
#

Well it is a help channel

#

I don't see a solution

alpine sable
#

but my proof is so bad

#

it might even be wrong

carmine reef
#

I think I got it

alpine sable
#

pretty sure this is not a easy problem

ornate condor
#

yea same, idt its easy

carmine reef
#

Choose 2016 parallel lines in the plane

alpine sable
#

never seen a problem from this guy thats easy tho takes me atleast a hour to solve

carmine reef
#

Then two of them must contain an infinite number of points of a common color C

alpine sable
#

im tripping my solution is simple enough but is very poorly constructed i thinki its wrong

ornate condor
#

idt i even understand the problem lol

alpine sable
#

id t?

carmine reef
#

Choose two points of color C from one of the lines, and construct an infinite number of triangles by choosing points of color C from the 3rd line

alpine sable
#

if one line has the first half of colors

carmine reef
#

every line must contain an infinite number of points of at least one color

alpine sable
#

and other line has the other half

#

no common

carmine reef
#

Well that's why I started with 2016 parallel lines

oak perch
#

Pigeon hole

carmine reef
#

So even if every line has infinitely many points from only 1 color you can still find 2 where it's the same

alpine sable
carmine reef
#

Cool problem

ornate condor
#

WHAT IS THE QUESTION

#

HOW DID WE GET FROM PARALLEL LINES TO INF POINTS

alpine sable
#

sheesh thats a cool proof

#

mine is just using that the plane is infinite

ornate condor
#

YEA WHATS

#

dots in plane

alpine sable
prime badge
#

this is kinda easy

ornate condor
#

like assuming cart coordinates, there are color on each point?

alpine sable
#

can anyone check if mine is correct?

oak perch
#

Sure

alpine sable
#

ok

carmine reef
#

well we did solve the original now

#

We can use this one

oak perch
#

He is answering this question

carmine reef
#

probably

alpine sable
ornate condor
#

OMG

#

I GET IT

prime badge
#

if i draw a reg 4031-gon, i will get at least one triangle of a certain area and color, if i keep doing this, it will have to repeat

ornate condor
#

kinda

#

but so yea

alpine sable
#

yo thats exactly my solution

#

instead i take 10k-gon

alpine sable
#

cuz idk the exact amount i need

alpine sable
#

how do u prove same area?

carmine reef
#

infinite number of disjoint 4031-gons

#

That's an approach

ornate condor
#

dots on plane is saying like for x,y in reals, x,y have a dot

#

yea?

carmine reef
#

There's only so many distinct possible areas

ornate condor
#

bro same area T.T

alpine sable
#

hol on the question says same color and area

alpine sable
#

the aree will also have to repeat

carmine reef
#

Every point (x,y) gets a color

alpine sable
#

i dont think the monikanicity solution told about the area part

#

"it"

#

will have to repeat

carmine reef
#

all the triangles have the same base and height in mine

alpine sable
#

oh his

#

height is same

#

but base

carmine reef
#

base is on the line with 2 points, height is the distance between the lines

alpine sable
#

oh yeah the base

#

wait i dont think i get why height is same either

#

u put 3 points

#

one on each line

#

i think

#

height is same

carmine reef
#

nah

alpine sable
#

base idk

carmine reef
#

I chose 2 constant points from one line

alpine sable
#

ohhhh

carmine reef
#

They form the base of the triangle

alpine sable
#

yeah

#

oh i dont think then its obvious that such a combination will exist always

#

where one line has 2 same colors

carmine reef
#

That's what the first part of the argument was for

#

Every line must have an infinite number of points of at least 1 color

#

So I choose 2016 parallel lines

alpine sable
#

oh nvm i am just dumb lol ur right

carmine reef
#

That way, 2 are guaranteed to have infinite amounts of the same color

ornate condor
#

w8 so whats the area argument

#

was it done

alpine sable
#

ok height is same confirmed

#

now base

ornate condor
#

based

carmine reef
#

I chose 2 constant points from one line

#

and then made an infinite number of triangles by choices of the third point on the other line

ornate condor
#

wait

#

OMG

#

i thought its same shape

#

ok

#

wow

#

amazing

carmine reef
#

4031-gon proof you'll get same shape as well

#

Not with mine unfortunately

alpine sable
#

with same color

#

but i am asking about the same area part

ornate condor
#

but isit infinite triabgles as well

#

the 4031 gon

carmine reef
#

Yeah

ornate condor
#

i didnt even understand that

carmine reef
#

Choose an infinite number of disjoint regular 4031-gons

ornate condor
#

wait how

#

why 4031 anyway

oak perch
#

(2015)(2)+1

#

Pigeon hole

carmine reef
#

Smallest number that guarantees 3 points of at least 1 color

ornate condor
#

whats pigeon hole

#

oh

oak perch
#

Finitely many colors. Finitely many areas, have to repeat infinitely many times, for one color one area

carmine reef
#

If there were 4030 vertices, you could have 2 points of every color

ornate condor
#

4031 gon means

#

all sides same length or?

carmine reef
#

Regular 4031-gon yeah

oak perch
#

Regular 4031-gon

ornate condor
#

how do uk we can find that

#

or it exists

oak perch
#

Or doesn’t have ti be regular, just infinitely many copies of 4031-gons of the same shape

ornate condor
#

ye how do u say its existence

carmine reef
#

any 4031 point structure without 3 collinear points really

oak perch
#

Yeah, better

carmine reef
ornate condor
#

how do u show inf copies exist

#

a bunch of?

carmine reef
#

infinitely many

ornate condor
#

omg

#

i just realised

#

this

#

wait nvm

#

ok i dont get it

carmine reef
#

take circles with radius 1 centered at (3n,0) for every integer n

#

and inscribe the polygons in the circles

ornate condor
#

no i mean

#

if u find 4031 gons of same shape

#

n inf of it

#

it doesnt work as the color might be of the same shape

#

as u arent finding regular 4031 gons

carmine reef
#

well there's only a finite number of ways to choose 3 points for a triangle

ornate condor
#

and showing if u can fond regular 4031 gons on a grid is also hard

carmine reef
#

so eventually it'll have to repeat if you have infinitely many

ornate condor
#

i mean

#

that isnt rly an explaination

#

o well

#

the same area 1 is gd enough for me

#

ty

carmine reef

then why 11 if it's 5

prime sluice
#

Are you solving this with combinations or a tree

prime badge
#

how would i solve this if the order is relevant but you can also say nothing about an ingredient🤔

abstract badge
#

order isnt relevant

#

The tree gets the job done here

prime sluice
#

Order doesn't matter so you use combinations
You have 4 possible toppings
You can use all 4, 4C4
You can use 3 out of the 4, 4C3
You can use 2 out of the 4, 4C2
You can use 1 out of the 4, 4C1
And finally you can just add no toppings if you have a boring personality, 4C0

#

(correct me if I am wrong I suck at the perm. and comb.)

humble scroll
#

Ok

#

Is 16 correct

abstract badge
#

2x2x2x2 also works

#

yes

Ok

#

Also is the last one 1/2

prime sluice
#

No clue what jacks and clubs are

humble scroll
#

Me neither

ornate condor

lol

abstract badge
#

there are 4 jacks and 4 clubs in it

#

this is the explanation of why we find the possible toppings using
2x2x2x2

#

following each path gives you 1 possible combination of topings

in total there are 16 paths you can take

and the tree doesnt count with different orders

Damn

So when do you add or subtract exponents?

when it's multiplication

#

or division

bruh

#

bad formatting

dawn quail
#

Sorry?

alpine sable
#

(the one the bot sent)

#

does it make sense now @dawn quail

dawn quail
#

I think so, but what about negative exponents?

ocean sealBOT
#

trololol !

alpine sable
#

this is when you multiply and when you add exponents

dawn quail
alpine sable
#

yes

dawn quail
alpine sable
dawn quail
#

How about this?

alpine sable
#

yes

dawn quail
#

And this too?

alpine sable
#

yes

dawn quail
#

Thank you

#

Just to drive it home

#

You go in order inside to outside? Or doesn’t matter

alpine sable
#

it doesn't matter, because multiplication is commutative

dawn quail
#

Division too

alpine sable
#

division isnt commutative

dawn quail
#

Oh

#

Right, there is no division here

#

I mistook the fraction as division

#

½

#

Addition and multiplication are the only commutatives in math?

alpine sable
#

yes

dawn quail
#

Good to know.. in theory can every equation be forced to use commutatives?

#

What I mean is fraction is division, but 2 ÷ 3 can also be written as ⅔ almost like it’s a single term.

2 - 3 is subtraction but it can also be written as 2 + (-3)

alpine sable
#

i mean, you can write $a - b$ as $a + (-b)$, making it commutative

same for multiplication : $a \div \frac{x}{y} = a \times \frac{y}{x}$

ocean sealBOT
#

trololol !

alpine sable
#

for exponentiation it is a bit harder, though

#

in fact, i dont think it is possible to write it in a commutative way

dawn quail
# ocean seal **trololol !**

And in theory you can move those values anywhere if they belong on LHS or RHS of the equation? It won’t affect the outcome if they are written as commutative?

alpine sable
#

left-hand-side and right-hand-side ?

#

if yes, then yes, it won't affect the outcome - this is the very definition of being commutative - the order of the operations doesnt matter

#

but remember to not mix addition with multiplication - you can only move the terms within the same "addition chain", and the same "multiplication chain"

#

u cant say that $a + b \times x = a \times x + b$

ocean sealBOT
#

trololol !

dawn quail
#

This is because BEDMAS only works for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction in order from left to right, correct?

alpine sable
#

what is BEDMAS ?

dawn quail
#

Brackets Exponents Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction

#

Order of operations

#

For DM/MD it should be treated left to right whatever order they come in

#

Same for AS/SA left to right whatever order they come in

#

But with the commutative property that makes me think I can rearrange DM or AS if I really want to

dawn quail
#

So commutative only works if LHS or RHS is DM/MD exclusively or AS/SA exclusively. It can not be both DM/MD+AS/SA on LHS or RHS for commutative to work

#

I hope someone can confirm this for me? I don’t know if I explained that correctly?

dawn quail
#

And this doesn’t account for brackets or exponents either. I think those could change things too

alpine sable
alpine sable
#

this is called associativity

#

and multiplication and addition are also associative

#

exponentiation is neither

dawn quail
#

Are exponents considered included as part of MD/DA?

wind yoke
alpine sable
ocean sealBOT
#

trololol !

alpine sable
#

this is distributive

dawn quail
#

OK, so exponents are kept on their own.. √ and ² are like saying a new family such as DM and SA

wind yoke
alpine sable
#

but this is another topic

dawn quail
alpine sable
#

so for now, you can say that root and exponentiation are of the same family

dawn quail
wind yoke
#

they say

#

no

#

help

dawn quail
#

With what?

#

Is this related to my question or do you want to start a new thread?

dawn quail
#

To what?

wind yoke
alpine sable
dawn quail
#

It’s easy and free to do so, you are just confusing people by stating something is FOIL when it’s distributive

#

Which has nothing to do with trigonometry

wind yoke
dawn quail
#

Is FOIL algebra, trigonometry, or both?

#

First Outside Inside Last

#

I am curious now

#

AFAIK it’s a convention for remembering to do all the operations when multiplying binomials

wind yoke
alpine sable
#

anyways, if your question has been answered, remember to close the thread, @dawn quail

lone heartBOT
#

@dawn quail Has your question been resolved?

dawn quail
#

Is FOIL algebra, trigonometry, or both?

lone heartBOT
#

@dawn quail Has your question been resolved?

mortal trellis
#

multiplying out brackets is algebra

#

and FOIL is a common trick to remember how to do that

#

was that your question?

lone heartBOT
#

@dawn quail Has your question been resolved?

dawn quail
#

No the question is whether FOIL is a common trick for algebra only

#

Or if it can also be used for trigonometric questions too

#

But perhaps this is where algebra and trig blend together so FOIL perhaps can be used for both? It’s not so black and white one or the other?

#

If someone can give me an example where FOIL is used for a trigonometric question that would be greatly appreciated

#

This will also finally answer @wind yoke ‘s question here too…

mortal trellis
#

well FOIL is used whenever we multiply out brackets

#

if you wanna multiply out (sin(x)+cos(x))(tan(x)+sec(x)) or something and call that trig, sure FOIL is used for that

#

multiplying out brackets is something that happens often in a lot of contexts in math

so

lone heartBOT
serene flame
#

i know this is a lot to digest here so i'll dissect it

#

i'm evaluating the integral of sqrt cos x

#

which is a non elementary

#

so i did it with taylor series

#

i just got the taylor series for sqrt x and plugged in the cosine

#

since the cosine has a power i just used the beta function right away to calculate the integral, shown in upper right corner

#

i then developed the calculation a little and then changed the gamma's to their product definition

#

and got that product below

#

and just plugged it into the taylor series

#

that's it

#

the small sum in the center, ignore it, i was tryna simplify the thing more but didnt know how to so called it

#

so i plug both the integral and the sum in desmos

#

i get a result around 2.39 for the integral, and one of the order of 1e-169, for the sum

#

pretty darn close to 0

#

so what went wrong

#

if there's any clarification to do, ping me

#

thanks in advance

@serene flame 👋 You may want to check the early university and advanced sections of the server since this is quite advanced, there you don't have to also confirm to the bot that you are actually there and it may be nicer if you want to do other things in the meanwhile

Hi

lone heartBOT
humble scroll
#

Can someone help me with this

stray radish
#

So I think i can help you with number 22

#

Have you seen something like this before?

humble scroll
#

No I haven’t

stray radish
#

Basically what this is

#

is it shows all the possible outcomes of rolling 2 dice

#

Can you see how the dice outcomes correlate to the numbers on the inside?

#

basically you just add together the numbers in the right row and column

#

so if you rolled a 4 on Dice B and a 4 on Dice A, you would see what box is in Column 4 Row 4

#

and there is your answer

#

Basically the reason I am showing you this is because if you count all of the middle boxes, there are 36

#

which means there are 36 possible solutions to rolling 2 dice

#

Or just rolling a dice twice

#

How this can be used is

#

since it is asking you the probability of rolling a 10, you would count how many boxes have a "10" in them

#

so how many is that?

#

A hint to help you is that the same numbers are diagonal to each other

limit as x approaches 0 of (1-cos^2(x))/x^2

rain scaffold
#

plz help i am begging and will fail my life if i dont get this

tough jasper
#

L hop it

#

If you dont know what that is then lim as x approaches a of g(x)/h(x)=lim as x approaches a of g'(x)/h'(x)

@rain scaffold Has your question been resolved?

old sinew
#

@rain scaffold

#

find the derivative of numerator and denominator separately and post here

rain scaffold
#

what is a derivative

#

we were never taught that

#

@old sinew i have a question

#

how can i simplify 1 - cos^2 x?

old sinew
#

oh it's part of introductory limits

#

alright

rain scaffold
#

can it be (1+cos x)(1- cos x)

old sinew
#

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1-\cos^2 x}{x^2}$

ocean sealBOT
#

CapitalW

old sinew
#

try dividing both numerator and denominator with x^2

#

so essentially we will not change anything, as we are multiplying by 1

rain scaffold
#

the problem is

#

my math teacher marks it wrong instantly if i dont do it his way

old sinew
#

infy will pop up

rain scaffold
#

would difference of squares work

old sinew
#

essentially we need to get rid off x^2 in the denominator

#

else applying limit will go to infy

rain scaffold
#

okay

old sinew
#

do you know lim x to 0 sin x/x = 1?

rain scaffold
#

yes

old sinew
#

great

rain scaffold
#

i also know lim x to 0 (1-cos x)/x = 0

#

whats tripping me up in the problem is the square on the cos

#

i dont understand how to rid of that

old sinew
#

let's try this way

#

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1-\cos^2 x}{x^2}= \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2}$

ocean sealBOT
#

CapitalW

old sinew
#

$\lim{x \to 0} \left(\frac{\sin x}{x}\right)^2$

rain scaffold
#

wait

#

you can do that????

#

i understand that 1-cos squared equuals sin squared

#

but how are you removing the squared

ocean sealBOT
#

CapitalW

old sinew
#

like this

#

sin^2 = (sin x)^2

#

just a notation thing

rain scaffold
#

OHHHHHH

old sinew
#

$\sin^2 x = (\sin x )^2 = \sin x * \sin x$

rain scaffold
#

OK THAT MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW

ocean sealBOT
#

CapitalW

old sinew
#

keep this in mind

rain scaffold
#

okay

#

let me send you my work now

old sinew
#

sure

#

let me see bheem ki shakthi

rain scaffold
#

does that make sense?

old sinew
rain scaffold
#

in the end?

old sinew
#

not after lim x to 0

rain scaffold
#

okay i took it off

old sinew
#

@rain scaffold btw, your answer to 16 is wrong

#

you are asked to find the limit not f(0)

last ether
#

16's limit exists

rain scaffold
#

i wrote IND next to it

#

that's how our teacher taught us

#

when u plug in 0 (first step)

#

u have to see whether it is indeterminate

#

look ill send my full work

#

0/0 is not my answer

#

2 is

old sinew
#

okay, then you shouldn't put =0 in first

rain scaffold
#

nah teacher will mark it wrong if i dont

#

its just weird

old sinew
#

just hear me

rain scaffold
#

he wants us to write it the way he wants it

last ether
#

Have you learned L'Hopitals?

rain scaffold
#

no

last ether
#

If not, you can use difference of squares then

rain scaffold
#

ya i used difference of squares

last ether
#

Which is what you did

old sinew
rain scaffold
#

first step is its 0

#

0/-

old sinew
#

so you should only write f(0)=0/0

rain scaffold
#

0/0

#

if u plug in 0

last ether
#

Nah their work is fine

old sinew
#

not lim x to 0 f(x)=0

last ether
#

ALTHOUGH

rain scaffold
#

dw thats just how the teacher wants it

last ether
#

You DO NOT put an = 0/0

rain scaffold
#

ik

#

on exam i wont

#

at all

old sinew
last ether
#

It would be $\rightarrow \frac{0}{0} (\text{IND})$

ocean sealBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

last ether
#

At least

#

If you wanna communicate what's going on

old sinew
#

that will work

rain scaffold
#

he wants us to write f(0) is 0/0 (IND) but lets us skip the f(0) part

old sinew
#

which is what whole question is about

#

that's the key distinction you need to understand

rain scaffold
#

okay

#

i ahve another question

gusty gorge
#

any ideas on how to approach it?

lone heartBOT
#

@rain scaffold Has your question been resolved?

rain scaffold

i got it
