Ohh yesss
Also 3 and 4 are done?
no?
Yeah the whole thing is the coordinate system
ye
The axes/grid specifically I guess
I only have the answers for 5,6,1,2
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.
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)
Okay, I need to go do hw and stuff but you can post them here and somebody will help.
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?
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
right?
Im sorry Im having some trouble understanding what you mean, could you clarify please?

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.
What do you need a formula for
For a program I'm trying to write.
What does the formula need to do though
oh this is my own channel now right?
ok I'll paste everything here
/*
* Input Data
*
* Setup:
* fractions are allowed
* market: x (left) y (right)
* 1 unit price = x/y (or) y/x
* x * y = k (constant)
*
* (reversible)
* To determine the amount of x units needed to buy y, we must do
* x = k/(y - amount)
*
* (reversible)
* To determine how many units of y (z) an amount of x can buy, we must do
* z = k/(x + amount)
*
* k = (z-y) * (x + amount)
*/
const inputData = [
{
market: 'Apple-Banana',
x: 500,
y: 300,
fee: .05 %
},
{
market: 'Orange-Pear',
x: 100,
y: 600,
fee: .03 %
},
{
market: 'Potato-Apple',
x: 500,
y: 500,
fee: .01 %
},
{
market: 'Banana-Orange',
x: 500,
y: 900,
fee: .08 %
}
]
/*
* Desired Output Data
*
* priceFactor needs to be determined equal value comparison between all assets (is this even possible?)
* scalabilityFactor needs to be determined base on availability (k). The higher the availability, the less "price slippage"
*
*/
const outpuData = {
Apple: [
{ market: 'Apple-Banana', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null },
{ market: 'Potato-Apple', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null }
],
Banana: [
{ market: 'Apple-Banana', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null },
{ market: 'Banana-Orange', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null }
],
Orange: [
{ market: 'Orange-Pear', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null },
{ market: 'Banana-Orange', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null }
],
Pear: [
{ market: 'Orange-Pear', priceFactor: null, scalabilityFactor: null }
],
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

Hello! Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in calculating the number of 3-of-a-kind poker hands?
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
everything is correct, what are you confused about?
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?
Are you not allowed to just use the comparison test?
It will work for b too
since its alternating, i figured i would use the alternating series test. more appropriate i think?
(-2)^n <= 2^n
alright
but is this really enough proof for the DCT?
oh wait
hmm
yeah
itis
thanks!

hi
Use L'Hopitals
Although actually
I don't think you need to
That's the same as $\lim_{x\to 0} \left(\frac{x}{\sin(x)}\right)^2$
Umbraleviathan
Therefore it's the same as $\left(\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{x}{\sin(x)}\right)^2$
Umbraleviathan
Use your sin(x)/x identity
0/0 isnt 0
wait it isn't?
0/0 is indeterminate
ok
Yeah
But just so you know
Save yourself the pain of doing 1/x / 1/x
You can also rewrite it as
$\left(\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)^{-2}$
damn
that does make a lot of sense
you can l'hopital x/sin(x) pretty easily
Umbraleviathan
It's circular iirc
0/0 is not 0 its indeterminate
You didn't particularly do anything wrong you just didn't do anything useful
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?
Because the steps you took did not enable you to yet arrive at an answer
oh
like what
Why would you go through the pain
Just this will suffice
Although I will admit I default to L'H because it's doo doo easy
yeh i want a backup plan if i forget the squaring it method
but how would i do l'hospital again?
Well you do L'H on the L'H
oooooooo
You can use L'H infinitely many times as long as the conditions allow it
so i do something to this?
multiply num and den by 1/x again?
this is what i get when i do that
Are you sure you know what lhopital is

it isn't?
No lhopital involves derivatives
It is a method for finding limits of certain indeterminate forms
Yeah but this is help -0
go away
Just read
Oh okay
@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
Okay well then ignore all the talk about lhopital
nvm i def accidentally multiplied wrong here
What umbral showed you
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
Nah it works, just very long way to do it
lmao
i thought if i plug in 0 for x/x then its actually 0
then i remembered u just simplify to 1 first
Yeah its okay this time because cancels
alr thx
What you do is you clarify

and i think it is 1 but can someone else double check with me
Did you sketch the graph?
yeah
something like this right @wary stream

How do I start this?
Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence with $x_n\in{0,, 1,, \dots ,, 9}$. Then, $$x=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x_n}{10^n}$$
KStarGamer
I was trying to split this into partial sums and equation partial sums based on when the kth terms agree
but doesn't seem to be helping me at the moment
hah is that like a competition question? : p
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 
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 you need your own channel, see the ones in math help(available)
can u type the channel where i should go?
Ok no I'm wrong, because we need to consider the case where multiplying two repetetives would give a non-repetetive
not sure how that's true
i joined this server a few minutes ago
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
convergence is trivial, it's bounded above by $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{9}{10^n}=1$
KStarGamer
also how do I get the undergrad role? 
xD
go to #info and click the manage roles button
Every rational number is either a terminating or repeating decimal
Every repeating or terminating decimal is a rational number
yes that's true
ah cheers
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
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
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 
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
KStarGamer
unfortunately, it hasn't helped me 
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
why do you know that series is 1?
oh ok
In mathematics, a periodic sequence (sometimes called a cycle) is a sequence for which the same terms are repeated over and over:
a1, a2, ..., ap, a1, a2, ..., ap, a1, a2, ..., ap, ...The number p of repeated terms is called the period (period).
or something from here? https://pjm.ppu.edu/sites/default/files/papers/20.pdf

😮 I got an idea
If $x$ is repetitive then we can write it as $0.\overline{x_1 x_2\dots x_k}$
KStarGamer
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
$(10^k-1)x = 0.x_1 x_2\dots x_k$
KStarGamer
so $x=\frac{0.x_1 x_2\dots x_k}{10^k-1}$
KStarGamer
alright now somehow the square of this is itself repetitive 
KStarGamer
hmm
,w N[(12/(10^3-1))^2]
if one let's m=1 and n=333
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
lmao
ok but we've gotten somewhere
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 
I can't even construct an example oh my
oh ok
we need a modular arithmetic argument
nope
ugh
<@&286206848099549185> anyone know how to do this?
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

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?
how far have you gotten?
or do you have any ideas of what to try
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
my first thought would be the laps, right
10 laps in 15 minutes is almost a normal speed
Right
but its in laps per minute, and not meters per minute, and not meters per hour
how can you relate laps to meters?
10 divided by 50?
5?
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
So if i think about it with fractions would it be like 1/50? Since 1 lap is 50 meters
$\frac{\text{10 laps}}{\text{15 minutes}} \cdot \frac{\text{50 meters}}{\text{1 lap}}$
jan Niku
the important part about the fraction is the units
Ohh ok
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
if you want, you can create a chain of these
leave some space, fill in as you go
$\frac{\text{10 laps}}{\text{15 minutes}} \cdot \frac{\text{50 meters}}{\text{1 lap}}\cdot \cdots = \frac{\text{??? miles }}{\text{1 hour}}$
jan Niku
or piece by piece is fine too 
i can try
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?
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
Let me check
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
well i think in the end, they want $\frac{\text{??? dollars}}{\text{1 term}}$
jan Niku
this is a start, it gets you to what, cartridge per year?
or per 3 terms
but you still need to introduce cost
which is gonna require you going through the box relationship
Yes
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
$\frac{\text{dollars}}{\text{school year}} = \frac{\text{dollars}}{\text{box}} \cdot \frac{\text{box}}{\text{cartridge}} \cdot \frac{\text{cartridge}}{\dots} \cdot \cdots \cdot\frac{\text{3 terms}}{\text{school year}}$
hows this as a hint?
i think you have most of the pieces from here
oop, 1s
Ty! Let me do this
jan Niku
Ok i think i filled them in right, would i put the year under the cartridge fraction?
youre missing a tiny amount of pieces there
actually, maybe just one?
ah, no, two
youre missing info about pages
year already exists at the end
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

Can someone explain to me how im meant to work this out?
So would it be 3x-5 x4?
(3x-5)x4
12x-20?
yes
Square the side lol
(3x-5)^2
yep
ohhh okay
yep
so 9x^2 -25?
No?
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
so
a 9x^2 - 25 -30x
yes
so instead of -25 it should be +25
remember the identity
so 9x^2 + 25 - 30x?
okay
yep

any easy ways to identify an imaginary root in a quadratic formula? other than making sure b^2 is smaller than 4ac, ofc
Using graph ig
The only way that I know of that's easy...is that method.
Use the discriminant (b^2-4ac) and check from there really
If if first coeff is +ve it's an upward paraola
-D/4a gives u the vertex
You can deduce it from the vertex i guess
So you'll know whether it cuts the x axis or not
if u have a vertex at like x = 4 or something and it is pointing up, pretty good indicator it has imaginary roots only
-a => downward parabola
Whether the graph cuts or not...

Hi! I need help with this exercise in topology, I'm really having a problem answering this sorry
do you know what the basic opens in a product space look like?
Yup! What I am doing now is finding the basis, which in my calculations is {null, (a,a), X}
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
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
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
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.
Sure
Ayayyyy
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!
:)
Is it eq 1 or eq 2 that's right or are they both wrong
Cuz like.. I'm not sure
Ah i see
I should prob ask my teacher tmrw too
You should im not a teacher
Ye, do you see what's wrong and what's right?
Seems good enough
Should 6 over 4 be
4 over 6 instead?
Yesss
We have to solve for x and y?
Okay okay cool
Simplify the equation
And that should do it
Cool
Have a NC day
Write the steps neatly tho lol
Why
We sure to write up what you are doing
Because teachers dont have time to understand everyone’s handwritings and they judge based on your handwriting as well
I will show u smth!
You are probably my senior lol
I think linear inequalities is in 11th grade
Oh no no I'm g8 xd
Dayum
That's true tho
Our teacher will also teach functions and relativity?? What relations? Yeah relations
Function and relations.. I forgor man☠️
Dayum man
Thats 11t grade shit
Why it's easy
Cool then
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

Hi, how can I get all the tangent lines that go through a certain point?
I tried using f(x)=f'(x_0)*(x-x_0)+f(x_0) and trying to plug the point (0,-2)
but that gave me an absurd

Can someone give me steps on how to achieve this result?
Sure bro
You know the identity (a-b)2?
Yeah
Yes so can we like say that 14 = 9+5?
of course
yup
And we also know that 3 squared is 9
Yup
So √ 3^2 + √5^2 - 6√5 ?
hold on
somewhat
Maybe A2 -2AB + B2 sounds simpler
Okay if you wanna say that
Yeah
Square and square root cancel out?
yup
3-√5 is our answer
But like how does that 14 disappear
I get its 9+5
then it turns into sqrt3 + 5
or something
No, its square of 3 + 5
yeah that's what i mean
I wrote 6√5 as 3x2x√5
Lol no
Could you write down the steps on that board if possible?
Okay sure
Alright
No problem bro
Nope

does the rank of the image = the rank of the transformation matrix
rank of a linear transformation is the dimension of its image
so i find the basis for the mapped to transformation
and it is of size 2
does that tell me the dimension of the image
for example this, i found the basis for the second matrix, which was (1,1,0) (-1,0,1)

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
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
@hushed zephyr Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
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.
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
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?
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
Just look at the table
yes
so it's 20 tall
yes
how do i found out how wide it is
you know that it hits the ground at x=-11.5 and x=11.5
sure, no problem

what would be a graphic representation with the trigonometric circle of lim x->-3/2 pi of 1/cos(x)?
if cos(-3/2pi)=cos(3/2pi), why wouldnt 1/cos(-3/2pi) be +oo
taking -3/2pi from the right
that makes sense what is it instead?
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?
Neo
$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}) = 0$
$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^-$
$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{-}) = 0^+ $
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.
Mehdi_Moulati
Polar angle?
@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
@craggy idol Has your question been resolved?
Ill read in a mom, ty
but in that case, why isnt -3/2pi ^ + positive?
because we're in the left half of the circle?
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
$cos(\frac{-3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^-$
$cos(\frac{3\pi}{2}^{+}) = 0^+$
frownyfrog
so the - and + would be wrong there?
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
yeah that's wrong, if that's the direction
oh ok, I think I finally understood, ty
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 $lim_{x \to -1} f'(-1)=\frac{f(x)+f(-1)}{x+1}$?
Neo
oh its the same

can you guys explain to me uqadratics?
be more specific. otherwise just watch khan academy videos
7th grade quadratic equations
even more specific
The quadratic formula helps us solve any quadratic equation. First, we bring the equation to the form ax²+bx+c=0, where a, b, and c are coefficients. Then, we plug these coefficients in the formula: (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) . See examples of using the formula to solve a variety of equations.

Hello
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
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
Plug this back into this formula
And you get $1\cdot lnx + x \cdot \frac{1}{x}$
edwardborn
But why did u ignore the -x
😔
I thought v = lnx - x i thought you take the entire part after the • symbol as v ?
Just so it would be easier to explain the product rule
Like does this make sense to you?
That is if you just take this formula for granted
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 ?
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?
But how did we get to ln(x) as a result here ?
Isnt that 1 • 1/x ?
Think you forgot to apply the product rule here
Seems like what you did here was (uv)' = u' v'
But you should instead do this (uv)' = u' v + u v'
Then you'll eventually end up with this
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
You only need to apply product rule on xlnx
Only the thing that directly follows the • ?
You can leave the -x outside of this alternative equation for now
You're pretty close tho
Ok so if I get rid of the -x or basically -1 then its correct?
Nice!
But how do we get from this to f'(x) = lnX lol
Well this is the derivative of x lnx right?
I guess so 😄
Now we go back to the (-x)'
We've found (xlnx)'
Now we just need to find (-x)' and then just insert it all back into the equation
-1
Yup
So what do you need to add back to this equation?
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 ?
How do i know whats necessary and whats not? I dont really know when a product rule is necessary to be honest
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
What about x ln(x^2-4) for example?
But those are like the only two rules you really need to know
Is there an order in which you use them? Or both at once?
I guess a -1 at the end ? Or is it 2 times a -1 ?
Nah you got a lot of freedom when you're differentiating actually
Multiple techniques can lead to the same answer
Spot on
You add a -1
Because you want to insert the (-x)' back in which we found it out to be equal to -1
What does this turn into if you add -1?
just a -1 after the 1/x i assume
Is x = x/x or x/1 ?
Gj!
Thank you 🙏🏻🙇
