#

For 6 I think they're referring to the entire picture?

idle minnow
#

Ohh yesss

clever folio
#

Also 3 and 4 are done?

idle minnow
#

no?

clever folio
#

Yeah the whole thing is the coordinate system

idle minnow
#

ye

clever folio
#

The axes/grid specifically I guess

idle minnow
#

but u can use the word coordinate system once

#

it cant be 3,4 and 6

clever folio
#

Yeah I'm saying 6 is coordinate system

#

We already did 1-5 without using that word.

idle minnow
#

I only have the answers for 5,6,1,2

clever folio
#

Oh my bad

#

So lets go back to 3 then 4

idle minnow
#

okay

#

3 also doesnt have any lines

#

just a box for the answer

clever folio
#

3 was just coordinates, they are pairs (x,y)

#

It's referring to the box next to A (3,2) which is a coordinate as far as I can tell.

idle minnow
#

okay

#

so I have 1,2,3,5,6

#

we are missing 4 and 7

clever folio
#

4 was the line through E,F like we talked about

#

Idk wh

idle minnow
#

7 is the route

#

Im pretty sure

clever folio
#

idk which german word in your list was line but it should be line

#

Then yeah 7 should be route because it's trying to illustrate how to GET to the point A (3,2)

idle minnow
#

oh okay

#

and I got 3 more questions to do

clever folio
#

Okay, I need to go do hw and stuff but you can post them here and somebody will help.

idle minnow
#

okay

#

lemme just translate that

clever folio
#

You can ping helpers after 15 mins if nobody sees your q too

Question: how do you measure an angle Arrange the substeps with numbers
1 answer: I move the triangle so that the center is at the apex
2 answer: I read the value on the other leg
3 answer: I put the set square with the long side on a leg
(I have to choose 1 of it for this question)

Why does the prime factorization method for finding the LCM between two numbers work? Whats the reason behind reducing the factors/only counting factors once if they appear twice?

prime badge
#

12267 is divisible by 87
or in prime factors, 3×3×29×47 is divisible by 3×29

#

and you get 3×47

#

you drop the prime factors in the denominator from the numerator, and that's division, and it's not divisible iff you can't do that

zenith lichen
#

Im sorry Im having some trouble understanding what you mean, could you clarify please?

prime badge

um

#

no, i don't know what I'm supposed to say

I'm trying to come up with a formula, and would love to get help in working out how to go about it. I wrote up some sample data for what I'm trying to achieve in a code pen link which I can share. (not sure if I'm allowed to post links), or I can paste all the information straight into discord. I'd imagine someone with some Calculus knowledge would be able to wrap their heads around the problem fairly quickly.

abstract fractal

What do you need a formula for

lunar trail
#

For a program I'm trying to write.

abstract fractal
#

What does the formula need to do though

oh this is my own channel now right?

#

ok I'll paste everything here

const inputData = [
    {
        market: 'Apple-Banana',
        x: 500,
        y: 300,
        fee: .05 %
    },
    {
        market: 'Orange-Pear',

    }
]

    Apple: [
        { market: 'Apple-Banana', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null },

    ],
    Banana: [

    Orange: [

    Pear: [

    ],
    Potato: [
        { market: 'Potato-Apple', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null }
    ],
}
#

So in english, I'm trying to write a formula that can give me 1 measurable/comparable "price factor"

#

I'm not entirely sure if what I'm after is possible, but this formula would be the first step in balancing out this.. "farmer's market"

#

the complications come in the fact that there's not a common currency that can be used, as it's a market where you trade in produce only, so for example, if you want to buy bananas, you need to have either apples or oranges to trade with

fleet dragon
#

Hello! Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in calculating the number of 3-of-a-kind poker hands?

fleet dragon
#

I know what the answer should be but I'm not sure where my logic is flawed

#

So let's say I want to first get my 3-of-a-kind, and then get my other two cards. There are 52 cards I can choose for my first card. Whichever I choose, there are 3 ways for my next card and 2 ways for the third card, for that to be 3 of a kind. But that was permutations, so to get combinations, I divide by 3!.

#

Then for the next two, since they can't share a suit, there are 48 options for the first and 44 for the second, and then I divide by 2! for order

#

and that would give me the correct number of 54912

#

and I don't get why I don't need to . oh

tribal haven
#

everything is correct, what are you confused about?

fleet dragon
#

I thought I needed to multiply by 4 choose 2

#

but I don't

#

I was trying to account for the fact I didn't have to draw them in that order

#

but I already had lol

#

Given that a is true, how can I prove that b is true? I already know that the lim of cn goes to 0, but how can I approve that cn is a decreasing function?

worn fox
#

Are you not allowed to just use the comparison test?

alpine sable
#

this would allow me to use AST

#

for b? I can use it, but I used it for A

worn fox
#

It will work for b too

alpine sable
#

since its alternating, i figured i would use the alternating series test. more appropriate i think?

worn fox
#

(-2)^n <= 2^n

alpine sable
#

oh

#

ok

worn fox
#

I don't think you have any way to show cn is decreasing for AST

#

Because it may not be

alpine sable
#

alright

alpine sable

oh wait

hmm

yeah

delicate lake
#

hi

lone heartBOT
delicate lake
#

i need help with this one pls

last ether
#

Use L'Hopitals

delicate lake
#

i already tried

#

should i send u my work?

last ether
#

Although actually

#

I don't think you need to

#

That's the same as $\lim_{x\to 0} \left(\frac{x}{\sin(x)}\right)^2$

ocean sealBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

last ether
#

Therefore it's the same as $\left(\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{x}{\sin(x)}\right)^2$

ocean sealBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

last ether
#

Use your sin(x)/x identity

delicate lake
#

uh this is what i did

#

i got 0 but internet says the answer is 1

lyric stream
#

0/0 isnt 0

delicate lake
#

wait it isn't?

last ether
#

0/0 is indeterminate

last ether
#

And use your sin(x)/x identity

delicate lake
#

ok

last ether
#

Because here's the thing

#

You can change the limit to

delicate lake
last ether
#

Yeah

#

But just so you know

#

Save yourself the pain of doing 1/x / 1/x

#

You can also rewrite it as

#

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

delicate lake
#

damn

last ether
#

Bruh

#

Typo moemnt

delicate lake
#

that does make a lot of sense

lyric stream
#

you can l'hopital x/sin(x) pretty easily

ocean sealBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

worn fox
delicate lake
#

@last ether im curious tho, what went wrong with my original method

#

this one

lyric stream
#

0/0 is not 0 its indeterminate

delicate lake
#

so what did i do wrong?

#

if the real answer is 1 then which part did i mess up on

worn fox
#

You didn't particularly do anything wrong you just didn't do anything useful

delicate lake
#

oh

#

so why did i not get 1 as my answer

#

was it possible to get 1 using maybe some of the same steps i used?

worn fox
#

Because the steps you took did not enable you to yet arrive at an answer

delicate lake
#

oh

last ether
#

But like

delicate lake
last ether
last ether
#

Although I will admit I default to L'H because it's doo doo easy

delicate lake
#

yeh i want a backup plan if i forget the squaring it method

delicate lake
last ether
#

Well you do L'H on the L'H

delicate lake
#

oooooooo

last ether
#

You can use L'H infinitely many times as long as the conditions allow it

delicate lake
#

so i do something to this?

#

multiply num and den by 1/x again?

#

this is what i get when i do that

worn fox
#

Are you sure you know what lhopital is

delicate lake
#

yes

#

sinx/x = 1

worn fox
delicate lake
#

it isn't?

worn fox
#

No lhopital involves derivatives

#

It is a method for finding limits of certain indeterminate forms

next fiber
#

Hi how can I get help

#

Sorry for interrupting

next fiber
#

Yeah but this is help -0

delicate lake
#

go away

worn fox
#

Just read

next fiber
#

Oh okay

delicate lake
#

@worn fox i think my teacher just taught us we should get it into a form similar to sinx/x because we just know that is 1

#

thats all he taught us

worn fox
#

Okay well then ignore all the talk about lhopital

delicate lake
#

oh okay

#

so what should i do instead

delicate lake
worn fox
#

What umbral showed you

delicate lake
#

ok theres good news

#

i was actually doing it right 😌

#

so it works with both techniques

#

the one i did and the one umbral showed me

#

@last ether @worn fox thx for helping me guys

#

o wait

#

no

#

i messed up again

#

wait nvm

#

it was a false flag

worn fox
#

Nah it works, just very long way to do it

delicate lake
#

lmao

#

i thought if i plug in 0 for x/x then its actually 0

#

then i remembered u just simplify to 1 first

worn fox
#

Yeah its okay this time because cancels

delicate lake
#

alr thx

but doesn't seem to be helping me at the moment

tiny vigil
#

hah is that like a competition question? : p

torn night
#

Probably haha but it's actually from one of my example sheet questions

#

I don't know how to do it though

#

been searching online but can't find any hints thinkChad

tiny vigil
#

I don't know it seems like a silly question, if you multiply two real numbers you will get a real number

#

they HAVE to repeat, otherwise it'd be irrational

autumn kelp
#

hey guys

#

can someone help me with a math question

tiny vigil
#

@autumn kelp you need your own channel, see the ones in math help(available)

autumn kelp
#

can u type the channel where i should go?

tiny vigil
#

Ok no I'm wrong, because we need to consider the case where multiplying two repetetives would give a non-repetetive

torn night
autumn kelp
#

i joined this server a few minutes ago

tiny vigil
#

I don't think sums are the way to go though

#

you can't sum it up anyway, and conv/div doesn't matter

#

ok, maybe?? they are the answer? this is beyond what I know, I'm only about to start some more proof-oriented stuff

#

so all we can count on is maybe my rambling will inspire you? Lol

Every repeating or terminating decimal is a rational number

tiny vigil
#

looking for needle in a haystack

#

did you come up with anything

torn night
#

but yeah it's not too hard to show rational <=> periodic

#

maybe hang on:

#

I'm gonna prove that and see if I think of something

tiny vigil
#

could be some sort of algebra solution

#

(i know, this is the exact same thing like in the task)

#

I'm trying to understand what that part means

torn night
# torn night but yeah it's not too hard to show rational <=> periodic

If $x\in\bQ$, then $x$ has a periodic expansion. To see this, write $x=\frac{p}{2^a 5^b q}$ where $a,b,p,q\in\bZ : a,b\geq 0$ and $q>0$, with $\gcd(q,10)=1$. Then $$10^{\max {a,b}} x = \frac{t}{q}=n+\frac{c}{q}$$ where $n,c\in\bZ$ and $0\leq c<q$. By Fermat-Euler, since $\gcd(q,10)=1$, $$10^{\varphi(q)} \equiv 1\pmod{q}$$ or equivalently, $$10^{\varphi(q)}-1=kq$$ for some $k\in\bN$. Hence, \begin{align*}\frac{c}{q}&=\frac{kc}{kq}\&=\frac{kc}{10^{\varphi(q)}-1}\&=kc\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\left(10^{\varphi(q)}\right)^j}\end{align*} Since $0\leq kc<kq$, we can write $kc$ as a $\varphi(q)$-digit number $d_1 d_2\dots d_{\varphi(q)}$. Then $\frac{c}{q}=0.d_1d_2\dots d_{\varphi(q)} d_1d_2\dots d_{\varphi(q)} \dots$ and so $x=10^{-\max{a,b}}\left(n+\frac{c}{q}\right)$ is periodic. $\square$

#

I'd be impressed if I made no latex error thinkChad

#

wow I'm based

#

ok this proves that any rational is periodic

#

to prove the other way is easier but I can't be bothered lmao

ocean sealBOT
#

KStarGamer

torn night
#

unfortunately, it hasn't helped me notlikethis

tiny vigil
#

i'm trying to squeeze this into that series

#

if we could just square something inside that

#

and then show that the square is also periodic, it'd be fiesta

torn night
tiny vigil
#

oh no no, I don't

#

that's just WIP

torn night
#

oh ok

tiny vigil
torn night
#

hmmm

#

doesn't seem too helpful

tiny vigil
torn night
#

😮 I got an idea

#

If $x$ is repetitive then we can write it as $0.\overline{x_1 x_2\dots x_k}$

ocean sealBOT
#

KStarGamer

torn night
#

alright then now notice

#

$10^k x=x_1 x_2\dots x_k.\overline{x_1 x_2\dots x_k}$

#

taking the difference

#

$(10^k-1)x = 0.x_1 x_2\dots x_k$

ocean sealBOT
#

KStarGamer

torn night
#

so $x=\frac{0.x_1 x_2\dots x_k}{10^k-1}$

ocean sealBOT
#

KStarGamer

torn night
#

alright now somehow the square of this is itself repetitive Thinkies

ocean sealBOT
#

KStarGamer

tiny vigil
#

hmm

torn night
#

wait let me actually check that's true

#

let's say x=12/(10^3-1)

#

,w N[12/(10^3-1)]

ocean sealBOT
torn night
#

,w N[(12/(10^3-1))^2]

torn night
#

PERIOD 333

#

LMFAO

#

ok but good it is indeed repetitive

torn night
tiny vigil
#

can't you get a function for each decimal, and then square the function?

#

haha not sure if that makes sense, you are levels above me dude

torn night
#

lmao

torn night
#

I need to write x^2 explicitly in a similar way hang on

#

wait no no

#

I'm getting mixed up between a periodic number and a repetitive one

#

a periodic number is when there only exists one such k, namely the period number

#

but a repetitive has to be every k flus

#

I can't even construct an example oh my

#

oh ok

#

we need a modular arithmetic argument

#

nope

#

ugh

torn night
tiny vigil
#

ok I have no clue, I'd have to read the whole book on proof introduction, I will go try to help other people with something more on my level.

#

but, do ping me if you figure something out!! I'd highly appreciate it. good luck

Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here for this question

marble panther
sour dove
#

hi one second

#

ah I see

#

so your 2 integrals are correct as are your constants

#

but it's asking you to find f(1), you're doing f(-1) 🙂

marble panther
#

good catch

sour dove
#

haha it happens

#

you did the hard part!

marble panther
#

yeah, i redid the problems 3 times couldn't see what i did wrong

A swimmer can swim 10 laps in 15 minutes. One lap in the pool is 50 meters long. How fast is the swimmer going in miles per hour?

remote heron
#

or do you have any ideas of what to try

eternal yarrow
#

Just starting

#

I had first thought it was division, but I’m not sure

remote heron
#

these problems i think are all about organization, figuring out what you need to know

#

so working forwards from the given information, and backwards from the information you want, until you can find a place to connect them in the middle

remote heron
#

10 laps in 15 minutes is almost a normal speed

eternal yarrow
#

Right

remote heron
#

but its in laps per minute, and not meters per minute, and not meters per hour

#

how can you relate laps to meters?

eternal yarrow
#

10 divided by 50?

remote heron
#

and in each lap, how many meters

eternal yarrow
#

5?

remote heron
#

One lap in the pool is 50 meters long

#

you can sorta think of it like fractions, idk if this will be helpful or massively confusing

eternal yarrow
#

So if i think about it with fractions would it be like 1/50? Since 1 lap is 50 meters

remote heron
#

$\frac{\text{10 laps}}{\text{15 minutes}} \cdot \frac{\text{50 meters}}{\text{1 lap}}$

ocean sealBOT
#

jan Niku

remote heron
#

the important part about the fraction is the units

eternal yarrow
#

Ohh ok

remote heron
#

i know to put that second fraction in that way

#

because i want the units to cancel

#

if you kinda squint and imagine them like theyre just factors

#

like how a 2 in the top and a 2 in the bottom cancel

#

laps just go away here

#

does that make sense?

#

the hard part is getting the fraction on the left set up correctly, so you have to sanity check yourself

eternal yarrow
#

Ohhhhhh i see what you did

#

Thank you!!

remote heron
#

if you want, you can create a chain of these

#

leave some space, fill in as you go

#

$\frac{\text{10 laps}}{\text{15 minutes}} \cdot \frac{\text{50 meters}}{\text{1 lap}}\cdot \cdots = \frac{\text{??? miles }}{\text{1 hour}}$

ocean sealBOT
#

jan Niku

remote heron
#

or piece by piece is fine too happy

eternal yarrow
#

Ok! 👍

#

I have another seperate question if thats ok

#

Its a bit longer

remote heron
#

i can try

eternal yarrow
#

You work at a local print shop who does the printing for a Community College. You're in charge of ordering supplies for the next year. On average, the shop will print about 12,675 pages every term. One ink cartridge has enough ink to print about 1100 pages. One box of 10 ink cartridges costs the school $35. How much money will the print shop need to spend to have enough ink cartridges for the entire school year if there are three terms in each year?

remote heron
#

you can use a similar sort of method for this one

#

can you tell what fraction you want in the end?

#

what units over what

eternal yarrow
#

Let me check

remote heron
#

btw i guess i could say

#

this technique or w.e you wanna call it

#

its called dimensional analysis

#

in case u wanna look up vids or whatever

eternal yarrow
#

Alright :)

#

Would it be 1cartridge/1100 pages • 12,675 pages/3terms

remote heron
ocean sealBOT
#

jan Niku

remote heron
#

or per 3 terms

#

but you still need to introduce cost

#

which is gonna require you going through the box relationship

eternal yarrow
#

Ohhh

#

How would you put in the cost?

remote heron
#

well what you really want is like

#

$ / cartridge right

eternal yarrow
#

Yes

remote heron
#

but you have an additional relationship

#

number of cartridges in a box

#

so if its 35 bucks a box

#

and 10 cartridges in a box

#

i can see box in 2 places there

#

meaning if you arrange these right, you should be able to cancel out boxes , yea?

#

and leave just $ and cartridge

eternal yarrow
#

Right

#

im still a little confused jow to set up the fractions

remote heron
#

$\frac{\text{dollars}}{\text{school year}} = \frac{\text{dollars}}{\text{box}} \cdot \frac{\text{box}}{\text{cartridge}} \cdot \frac{\text{cartridge}}{\dots} \cdot \cdots \cdot\frac{\text{3 terms}}{\text{school year}}$

#

hows this as a hint?

#

i think you have most of the pieces from here

#

oop, 1s

eternal yarrow
#

Ty! Let me do this

ocean sealBOT
#

jan Niku

eternal yarrow
#

Ok i think i filled them in right, would i put the year under the cartridge fraction?

remote heron
#

youre missing a tiny amount of pieces there

#

actually, maybe just one?

#

ah, no, two

#

youre missing info about pages

eternal yarrow
#

Ouhhh i see

#

So i would i put pages under the cartridge?

#

1100?

remote heron
#

well what you have left to add

#

that terms at the very end

#

that has to cancel somewhere

#

so youre missing a fraction with term at the bottom

#

then you have info about pages you havent used

#

but not pages on the left hand side of the equation

#

so that has to show up twice

#

once on the top and once on the bottom

vernal siren
#

Can someone explain to me how im meant to work this out?

alpine sable
#

So basically

#

you have to find the perimeter of the square

vernal siren
#

So would it be 3x-5 x4?

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

12x-20?

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

and then this one?

alpine sable
#

Square the side lol

heady tusk
#

(3x-5)^2

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

ohhh okay

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

so 9x^2 -25?

alpine sable
#

do you know the identity?

vernal siren
#

No?

alpine sable
#

oh okay

#

(a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab

#

this is the identity

#

So if a=3x

#

and b= 5

#

apply the identity and you will get the answer

vernal siren
#

so
a 9x^2 - 25 -30x

alpine sable
#

-5^2 is 25 right?

vernal siren
#

yes

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

oooh

#

okay

alpine sable
#

remember the identity

vernal siren
#

so 9x^2 + 25 - 30x?

alpine sable
#

remember this

vernal siren
#

okay

alpine sable
vernal siren
#

ill write it down, thanks alot :)

any easy ways to identify an imaginary root in a quadratic formula? other than making sure b^2 is smaller than 4ac, ofc

little mulch
#

Using graph ig

primal berry
#

The only way that I know of that's easy...is that method.
Use the discriminant (b^2-4ac) and check from there really

jaunty onyx
#

Hi! I need help with this exercise in topology, I'm really having a problem answering this sorry

vale wigeon
#

do you know what the basic opens in a product space look like?

jaunty onyx
#

Yup! What I am doing now is finding the basis, which in my calculations is {null, (a,a), X}

vale wigeon
#

ah no not quite

#

there's some sets you've missed here

#

{aa, ab, ac} and {aa, ba, ca} are also basic opens

#

being the product of {a} with {a,b,c} in either order

jaunty onyx
#

Oh! Because I have to cross {a} x X

#

Thank you so much

#

My problem now is

#

How do I find the open sets now that I have the basic open sets?

#

I know that I have to get the union of elements, but I'm struggling

vale wigeon
#

your basic opens are:

  • empty
  • {aa}
  • {aa,ab,ac}
  • {aa,ba,ca}
  • {aa,ab,ac,ba,bb,bc,ca,cb,cc} (everything)
#

you need to find the sets, if any, that can be obtained from these by means of unions and aren't already on your list.

#

i'm abbreviating pairs such as (a,b) -> ab, purely to reduce clutter

jaunty onyx
#

alright I understand the basic opens part, thank you so much for that

#

but I'm now struggling to understand how to find the union of two

#

so what I should do now is

#

for example, {aa} U {aa,ab,ac}

#

and then do this for all sets in the basis? is that right?

#

May someone help me?
I have to know if my steps are right in linear equations/linear inequalities.

thick vault
alpine sable
#

Send what you did

#

I will see if there is something missing

thick vault
#

Taking time, there it is

#

:)

#

Is the 1st one right or the 2nd one right

alpine sable
#

Okay lemme see

#

Can you send me the question?

thick vault
#

Yes

#

Hold on

#

4x+12y>6

#

I will divide ax to c
And by to c too

#

And do some division.. There it is 6 over 4 plus 2

#

Or in 2nd:Ax+by=c will turn to y=mx+b
And so I do some solving.. There it is!

thick vault
#

Is it eq 1 or eq 2 that's right or are they both wrong

#

Cuz like.. I'm not sure

alpine sable
#

Ah i see

thick vault
#

I should prob ask my teacher tmrw too

alpine sable
thick vault
alpine sable
thick vault
#

#

Anything else wrong with the 1st one?

alpine sable
#

Right?

thick vault
#

Should 6 over 4 be
4 over 6 instead?

thick vault
alpine sable
#

We have to solve for x and y?

thick vault
#

I know how to graph!

alpine sable
#

Simplify the equation

#

And that should do it

thick vault
#

Yes

#

Ty @alpine sable

#

Closeee

alpine sable

#

Have a NC day

alpine sable
#

Write the steps neatly tho lol

thick vault
alpine sable
#

We sure to write up what you are doing

thick vault
#

Oooo yes yes I'll write better nx time

#

Wait

alpine sable
# thick vault Why

Because teachers dont have time to understand everyone’s handwritings and they judge based on your handwriting as well

thick vault
#

I will show u smth!

alpine sable
#

I think linear inequalities is in 11th grade

thick vault
alpine sable
thick vault
#

That's true tho

#

Our teacher will also teach functions and relativity?? What relations? Yeah relations

#

Function and relations.. I forgor man☠️

alpine sable
#

Thats 11t grade shit

thick vault
#

Why it's easy

alpine sable
thick vault
#

Oh damn

#

Wait lemme show u smth OK? :)

#

OK here

#

18x+9y<3

M=6
B=3

#

That's my answer :D

#

I divided as you said was right

#

I should learn division tricks so that I can get better at it

carmine copper
#

Can someone give me steps on how to achieve this result?

alpine sable
#

You know the identity (a-b)2?

carmine copper
#

Yeah

alpine sable
#

14-6sqrt(5)=14-23*sqrt(5)

#

14=3^2+sqrt(5)^2

#

(a-b)^2 factoring

alpine sable
carmine copper
#

of course

alpine sable
#

Yeah

#

We know that √5 squared is 5

carmine copper
#

yup

alpine sable
#

And we also know that 3 squared is 9

carmine copper
#

Yup

alpine sable
#

So √ 3^2 + √5^2 - 6√5 ?

carmine copper
#

hold on

alpine sable
#

Can we write it like this?

#

You know where this is going right?

carmine copper
#

somewhat

alpine sable
#

Now we got

#

A2 + B2 - 2AB

#

Yes?

#

Which is (A-B)2

carmine copper
#

Maybe A2 -2AB + B2 sounds simpler

alpine sable
carmine copper
#

But like

#

how do you go

#

i mean

alpine sable
#

Can we convert it into this?

carmine copper
#

Yeah

alpine sable
#

Square and square root cancel out?

carmine copper
#

yup

alpine sable
#

3-√5 is our answer

carmine copper
#

But like how does that 14 disappear

#

I get its 9+5

#

then it turns into sqrt3 + 5

#

or something

alpine sable
carmine copper
#

yeah that's what i mean

alpine sable
#

And 5 is the square of √5

#

So 3^2 + √5^2

carmine copper
#

where does the 6√5 dissappear

#

do i have dementia 😭

alpine sable
alpine sable
carmine copper
#

Could you write down the steps on that board if possible?

Okay

#

Lets see if you can get it now

#

hushed zephyr
#

In a model, the arc, shown in the picture below, can be described by a function f. The table shows some function values for f

hushed zephyr
#

here is the table

#

The function has a prescription of the type f(x)=ax^(2)+bx+c

#

a) Determine the constants a, b and c in quadratic regression.

#

I have no idea how to do this

#

But the teachers have told us the results, we just need to make the steps. Results are:
a=0.1512
b=0
c=20

lone heartBOT
#

@hushed zephyr Has your question been resolved?

<@&286206848099549185>

sonic kiln
#

You know that f(0)=20, that's in your table. And you know that f(0)=a×0²+b×0+c

#

so you immediately get c=20

#

you have 2 other equations, f(11.5)=0 and f(-11.5)=0. 2 equations, 2 unknowns, you can do it.

hushed zephyr
#

I did it

#

But the next one I don't get

#

b) How high is the arch and how wide is the arch at the bottom?

#

I don't know if theyre asking about this one

#

Or the function prescription from before

sonic kiln
#

Well, when does the arch hit its max ?

#

They look identical

#

It's probably the f from before, describing the arch

#

what's the value of f when the arch hits the ground?

hushed zephyr
#

Well with the values we have now the equation becomes: f(x)=0.1512x^(2)+0x+20

#

For some reason I can't make the graph in my cas program

sonic kiln
#

Just look at the table

hushed zephyr
#

ohh

#

f(x) is 0 when it's -11,5 and 11,5

#

right?

#

and 20 at the top

sonic kiln
#

yes

hushed zephyr
#

so it's 20 tall

sonic kiln
#

yes

hushed zephyr
#

how do i found out how wide it is

sonic kiln
#

you know that it hits the ground at x=-11.5 and x=11.5

hushed zephyr
#

ohhhh

#

sorry man im really bad at this, thanks for making it make sense

sonic kiln
#

sure, no problem

hushed zephyr
#

do i need to mkae a new one for my next one?

#

#

what would be a graphic representation with the trigonometric circle of lim x->-3/2 pi of 1/cos(x)?

craggy idol
#

if cos(-3/2pi)=cos(3/2pi), why wouldnt 1/cos(-3/2pi) be +oo

#

taking -3/2pi from the right

prime badge
craggy idol
#

if you have $\lim_{x \to \frac{-3\pi }{2}^+} \frac{1}{cos(x)}$ that is equal to $-\infty$, but I dont really understand why, bc the same but 3/2pi positive, will tend to +oo

#

shouldnt 3/2pi and -3/2 pi be equal?

ocean sealBOT
prime badge
#

so you're comparing 3/2pi from the right and −3/2pi from the right?

hollow sparrow
#

$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}) = 0$

$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^-$

$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{-}) = 0^+ $

teal roost
#

IIRC, In this case, because the function "cos" is continuous through the entire domain of possible angles. As a result, the limit of the function when taken through the angle of 2pi/3 is the same as when taken through the angle of 5pi/3. This limit is +oo. However, the function "1/cos" is discontinuous at its angle of 2pi/3 as the value of the function in that location is undefined. This makes it impossible to determine to what the limit of the function approaches as it is taken through the angle of 2pi/3.

My bad frownyfrog, you removed your message.

@craggy idol there, we're in the negative when we approach −3/2pi, we're in the positive when we approach 3/2pi, both from the right

#

left half is negative cos

lone heartBOT
#

@craggy idol Has your question been resolved?

craggy idol
#

Ill read in a mom, ty

craggy idol
prime badge
#

cos(x) approaches 0 from the left while x is approaching -3/2 pi from the right

#

i guess that's the idea

#

like it says in mehdi's picture

#

$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^-$

$cos(\frac{3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^+$

ocean sealBOT
#

frownyfrog

craggy idol
#

so the - and + would be wrong there?

prime badge
#

for the x, all four quadrants are negative

#
       -3/2
         

-1                 -2
  

         -1/2
```i mean, it's like this isn't it?
#

when you go clockwise, x is decreasing, so clockwise is from the right

craggy idol
#

oh so you are going anticlockwise

#

basically

#

thats why its kind of inverted

prime badge
#

yeah that's wrong, if that's the direction

craggy idol
#

oh ok, I think I finally understood, ty

prime badge
#

i don't know, but clockwise is always from the right

#

that's not flipped or anything

craggy idol
#

one more thing, I had to find for which x's, f'(x) exist

#

and I did this, but the problem is, is the procedure ok?

#

specially at the bottom, I can conclude that f'(x) exists for all x except 2 right?

#

or maybe, isnt it the way of solving this, using the definition of derivative?

#

like do $lim_{x \to -1} f'(-1)=\frac{f(x)+f(-1)}{x+1}$?

ocean sealBOT
craggy idol
#

oh its the same

Hello

lone heartBOT
alpine sable
#

Is ln(x) here acting like a factor which is why its not turning into 1/x but staying the same instead ?

#

@desert fractal hello can you chat here maybe it was wrong in the other chat for me to post i opened this room

desert fractal
#

It's just the product rule

#

(uv)' = u' v + u v'

alpine sable
#

Like this ?

desert fractal
#

Yeah pretty close

#

Focus only on x lnx first

#

u is x and v is lnx

#

u doesn't have to be x, it could also have been lnx, but if we set u equal to x then v has to be equal to lnx

#

u' is then equal to x'

#

Which is 1

#

And v' is equal to (lnx)'

#

Which is 1/x

desert fractal
#

And you get $1\cdot lnx + x \cdot \frac{1}{x}$

ocean sealBOT
#

edwardborn

alpine sable
#

But why did u ignore the -x

#

😔

#

I thought v = lnx - x i thought you take the entire part after the • symbol as v ?

desert fractal
desert fractal
desert fractal
alpine sable
#

I understand the product rule there i think if there wouldnt be the additional -x there , wcy did you not include the -x ? Just for demonstration purposes, or is it actually correct to ignore it in this example ?

desert fractal
#

I can just add it in later if i want to

#

Since the derivative of xlnx - x is (xlnx)' - (x)'

#

So then we just solve (xlnx)' first and afterwards we can do (x)'

#

So what did we figure out (xlnx)' was?

alpine sable
alpine sable
desert fractal
#

Can you simplify it for me?

desert fractal
#

Seems like what you did here was (uv)' = u' v'

#

But you should instead do this (uv)' = u' v + u v'

desert fractal
alpine sable
#

Can you maybe point out my mistake here ?

#

I tried to follow the instruction

#

I tried showing what i did by writing the u' v and u v' below by the way

desert fractal
#

You only need to apply product rule on xlnx

alpine sable
#

Only the thing that directly follows the • ?

desert fractal
#

You can leave the -x outside of this alternative equation for now

#

You're pretty close tho

alpine sable
#

Ok so if I get rid of the -x or basically -1 then its correct?

desert fractal
#

Yup if the -x wasn't there then it would have been correct

#

For (xlnx)'

alpine sable
desert fractal
#

Nice!

alpine sable
#

But how do we get from this to f'(x) = lnX lol

desert fractal
#

Well this is the derivative of x lnx right?

alpine sable
#

I guess so 😄

desert fractal
#

We've found (xlnx)'

#

Now we just need to find (-x)' and then just insert it all back into the equation

alpine sable
#

-1

desert fractal
#

Yup

desert fractal
alpine sable
#

May i ask why we didnt include the -x into the product rule? Is it really only the first thing that is directly connected to the • ?

Like in 2•3-1 you would ignore the 1 ?

desert fractal
#

Simply because it isn't necessary

#

We instead use the principle of linearity

alpine sable
#

How do i know whats necessary and whats not? I dont really know when a product rule is necessary to be honest

desert fractal
#

If it's something ugly that has an x in it multiplied with something else that also has an x in it then you'll use the product rule

#

That's why we use the product rule only on xlnx

#

Since it's x times lnx

alpine sable
#

What about x ln(x^2-4) for example?

desert fractal
#

Here you need to use product rule but also another rule

#

Called the chain rule

alpine sable
#

Okay lets stay at the product rule then

desert fractal
#

But those are like the only two rules you really need to know

alpine sable
#

Is there an order in which you use them? Or both at once?

alpine sable
desert fractal
#

Nah you got a lot of freedom when you're differentiating actually

#

Multiple techniques can lead to the same answer

desert fractal
#

You add a -1

desert fractal
desert fractal
alpine sable
#

just a -1 after the 1/x i assume

desert fractal
#

Yeah

#

But can you simplify this?

alpine sable
#

I personally cant

#

Let me try

#

And see how far i get

desert fractal
#

Go for it

#

Rest is pretty straightforward imo

alpine sable
desert fractal
#

x is x/1

#

x/x is 1

alpine sable
#

Ok i did it

#

Lnx + x/1 • 1/x - 1

#

Lnx+ x/x -1

#

Lnx + 1 - 1

#

Lnx

desert fractal
#

Gj!

alpine sable
#

Thank you 🙏🏻🙇
