since idk what two numbers would multiply to -0.25 and add up to 2
@alpine sable
wait
would I just use the quadratic formula
do you use delata formola
?
means quadratic formola
b^2 -4ac
oh yeah no duh I know that
isnt that jus the sqrt() part of the quadratic function
thing
formula
first find delta
what is delta
b^2 - 4ac
yes
it's public formula that is easy way to solve quadratic formula
there are an other way but it is easyer
you can use other formula that you like it

is this correct
how is there more gas after driving 240 miles
Holy shit I thought this was recurrence relations for a second and got PTSD
oh lmao how did i not notice that
bro created fossil fuel

help
i would multiply by x^2, make the substitution u = x^2, then solve the quadratic in terms of u
square both sides again seems to get you somewhere
can you explain
eh it looks ugly anyways, i don’t think it’s the right way to go about it
maybe cubing it here?
@native nebula Has your question been resolved?
how it is a^3-3a?
cube both sides
^
you should get x^3 + 3x + 3/x + 1/x^3 = a^3
and the 3x + 3/x = 3a
i think if we can figure what x^6 is numerically, you can solve it.
its essentially asking for (x^6)^12 + (x^6)^11 + x^6
i think x^6 is complex though
yea, can't find the roots of x^4-x^2+1=0
doing this, then again, then again .. gets you a bunch of nonsense that you might be able to reduce high powers of x with
ye you can quickly figure out x is not real
nice

Did all the math and got 13824 and put in the link but says I got it wrong anyone know what I did wrong?
It seems like a PEMDAS issue to me. Do you know PEMDAS?
I
I'm sorry I was looking at the first problem. Is your issue on the second problem?
no im supposed to solve all of the problems then raise the sum of all of them to the power of 3
first picture is the questions
what?
Is that result for first task
for 1 i got -16
I believe 2c is wrong
With which do u have problems
idk i cant tell which one is wrong
Look at 2c
is it not 18?
No, try redoing your work and if you get 18 again I'll talk you through it
$-z=-(-1)=1$
Duh Hello

What would be the most efficient way to do these (e.g part c)
Would it just be to use the derivative to find the turning points and find y and x normally?
Or is there some simpler thing that I'm missing
Graph transformations
Ohhhhh, I see
Let $f(x)=9 x^2 - x^4$ and relate the ones they’ve written to that
chartbit
for c x is just shifted one unit to the left with a dilation factor of 2
I see...
Thank you!
Have a good day

hey
In the following expression, combine the terms. What is the coefficient?
9b + 8 + 5b + 9
In the following expression, combine the terms. What is the constant?
1b + 3 + 3b + 9
the coefficient is the number in front of the b, the constant is the standalone value (non variable)
so it would be
9
and
1
?
oh wait oops i thought both were coefficient
so the first one is 9
join the like terms first

The center of the surface relative to the x and y axes
center of mass?
The point where the x- and y-axis intersect is called the origin.

But yet again, I don't know what your question wants. An exact or simplified answer?
fraction = a/b where a and b are integers

hey guys
can someone please help me with a slope question?
what is ur question
and what is the slope-intercept form of a line?
im not sure lol
u must have learnt a formula
do u know the formula?
i do but
i dont know it
what do u learn when u learn abt lines
we dont really have classes lmao 💀
im in college
well i know basically everything about grpahing excpet this
do u know the equation of a straight line
y=b and c?
mx+b
is that right
and this is the slope-intercept form of a straight line
what does m stand for here?
whyd u turn it around
yeah thats the gradient of the line aka slope of the line
then u can just substitute in the coordinates given and find b
yeah so in (5, -7), x is 5, y is -7
mhm
and because u also have y = mx + b with m=-5/6
when x = 5 and y = -7
can u find b?
yeah
yeah ig, its -17/6
lol
so the answer is that?
idk what it means when it asks for line in point slope form
so if u know the coordinates $\left(x_0,y_0\right)$ of a point that a line having slope $m$ passes through
the point-slope form of its equation is
$y-y_0=m\left(x-x_0\right)$
ok
so i guess u can figure out the answer?
yeah
can u help me figure this out
i got the first one now its asking for slope intercept form
this is the slope-intercept form
u just have to do the same thing u already did
so -5 = -1 + b
so b is not -6
yea
u just isolate b on the right side after solving
i just dont know how to format the answer in slope form
like ok b is -4 now what LMAO
it would be
y=-1/2x-4?
is that the answer
yeah
where
u r mixing up the slope-intercept form and slope-point form
this is a diff question
something that looks like y=mx+b is the slope intercept form
yea ik ik im not mixing it up
something that looks like y-(some number) = another number * (x - a diff number)
is the slope point form
but look at the ss
its okay
i was just confused cause this is the answer
but its supposed to be y+6=2/3(x-2)
right?
well (-2, 6) is not the only point it passes thru
u can use the coords of any other point it passes thru also
so this would also be a correct answer?
so here y - 3 = 3/4(x+7) is also the equation of the line coz it also passes thru (-7, 3)
yeah and u must have 3/5 there not 2/3
oh yea oops
wait
theres a number there -67799
and also y-6 and x+2
so y-6 = 3/5(x+2) is also a correct answer
okay so we have a line y = 3/5x - 6799
mhm
yes
wait
it doesnt say theres another line
it just says it passes thru those points
that line must have slope 3/5
and they ask u for the equation of that OTHER line
they arent asking u anything about the 6799 line
so that number doesnt change anything
ok good
also
is it always y-y1
or what if the y point is positive
it would still be y-y1
yeah
BUT UR LYING
so if a line shud have slope 3 and pass thru (2, 3)
then its eqn would be y - 3 = 3(x - 2)
because y - (-5)
i think its flipped
OH
so if its negative its positive
if its positive its negative
got it 👍
yeah u always subtract the y coord of the point it passes thru
ok
mhm
mh
i had one more question
are u good with trigonemetric funtions
and period shifting
yeah..
can u just explain this for me silversoldier
ik the first one is 4 but i dont understand the other stuff
so reflected over x axis means u see like the same function upside down
its like looking in a mirror
do u get it
here for example the blue parabola is a reflection of the red one about the x axis
u dont need desmos, can u think what command u must use in desmos to make this graph?
not command maybe like what must u input
so if u had y = sin(blah blah blah), its reflection about the x axis is what function
okay lets think the red parabola there is ur trig function
ok
so at x = 0, what do u get as y
look at the graph u can see some numbers
4
yeah, but in the blue function, which is the reflection of ur function, what do u get for y, at x = 0
6
i thot the orange line was the x axis
1
so thats for the red parabola
mhm
for the blue one?
-1
2
do u see a pattern
not the same same
is this
yeah
ok so that means it doesnt reflect
ok i get it
so red ones reflection y coord = - red ones y coord
so if y = sin (blah), what is its reflection?
do u get it
yea
i got it
well basically it doesnt reflect because
the reflection is a -
and the actual function is a positive
yeah
so its not exactlyyy that but i gues u got the idea
so it will be a reflection if its reflection is equal to itself
but that does not happen
ok
its not that the actual function is positive; it may still be negative its just that in such a case the reflection would be positive
so whenever the function is +ve, the reflection is -ve, whenevre the function is -ve, the reflection is +ve
anywya
so ig that answers 2
so
the period is like everytime the function resets
so if u draw this, the graph looks like a certain part repeating itself over and over again right
yea i know what the period is and all
oh
we learned about that but its dumb ash cause they dont actually show u how to calculate it
they just show u what it is lmao
wait im thinking of a way to tell u
isnt there a formula for finding period?
bruh all this math hurting my brain i have a test on graphing in like 2 hours lol
sure
so if u have $A\cdot\sin\left[Cx+D\right]+E$
SilverSoldier
is b sin
A is the amplitude, -D/C = phase shift, E is maybe called the vertical shift, and the period is 2pi/C
but how is 2pi/1/16 = 32 lol
$2\pi\div\dfrac{1}{16}$
SilverSoldier
-D/C
yea that makes sense too
in ur thing C = 1/16. D = 1/16 * 2pi/3
so u just disregard x and turn into 1
yea
no its just c = 1/16
D is x + 2pi/3
no d is the constant term
wym
ur thing is 1/16(x+ 2pi/3) = 1/16x + 1/16* 2pi/3
right?
the rhs is what is in the form cx + d
yea pretty much
yea
hope u get it
b?
if u had a cos u can turn it into a sin
i cant spell
and just work with the sin
i only put C after A coz i forgot abt B lol
lol
its just the number in front of the x, the constant term, and teh number multiplying the entire sine that matter
i think im ready for this math test 💪
great
ima just study a bit more
ok bye

A person named Barten was killed. Who killed him?
Here is a statement from each of the suspects, 3 are lying but one is telling the truth.
- Snuslæstn: Næpsilda killed Barten
- Læmselars: Karsk-Kjetil was not the killer this time.
- Næpsilda: Karsk-Kjetil was playing Yatzy with Snuslæstn when Barten was killed
- Karsk-Kjetil: Næpsilda is not the killer.
the formal way to do this is to write it as implikations
how can I do that
well, if Snuslaestn tells the truth that implies that Naepsilda killed Barten
to throw away all the fluff, the 4 suspects say this:
S: it was N
L: it wasn't K
N: it wasn't K nor S
K: it wasn't N
try analyzing 4 cases based on who the one truth-teller is
- Læmselars: Karsk-Kjetil was not the killer this time.

Well the only thing that makes sense in my head is that Karsk-Kjetil is the killer, but im not sure if im taking the right approach or if I just got lucky
i have math homework that i need help with can someone help?🧍♀️
it told me come here tho
if N is truly saying K wasn't the killer, then K would be the killer because L and N cannot both be telling the truth
no, it told you to use an available channel, not channel zero.
take #help-17 that one is free
ohh alr thanks
yeah thats what Im thinking as well. for every other case there is contracdictory information, telling us that its wrong
one of S and K has to be the truth teller, otherwise they can't both be lying
if S is telling the truth then so is L, so that won't do. thus K is telling the truth and everybody else is lying
Yeah it makes sense now thx
also K apparently has a reputation for murder beforehand so
yeah thats true, but not relevant to solve the problem (although it would be irl)

Is there a clean way to solve this?
I made an ugly system of 4 equations but I’m sure there is a better way
(btw this is all of the info in the question)
what 4 equations were you using?
Use pythag, also wrong channel
so like two pythags on those lower triangles?
honestly if there's a better way I'm not seeing it either
i tried a system of equations to find some of those internal angles but it got ugly fast

I’ve tried subtracting the numbers below. Then take the number in the middle of the triangle to subtract the result to find the above one , but it didn’t work for the last one

@primal horizon Has your question been resolved?
what is the question related to the triangles?
i think its like a number pattern thing
yea, are they looking for a certain pattern though? I see different patterns for some
i dont see a consistent pattern anywhere lol
u r supposed to fill in the missing number according to the pattern
ig
first 2 are consistent for me
oh right thhe numbers at the top are just 2 less the previous number
what else is consistent?
9+7-3=13 and 7+6-4=9
Ive tried this but didnt work for the last one
but 3+10 - 20
right
is not 10
but then the first ones are not like that
They all should be the same pattern
yeah
oh ok
thats what i meant by consistent
Math I couldnt think of any other subject haha
lol
so in each triangle u subtract the one in the middle and the left bottom one
then u get 0 in the last one, 1 in the one before the last, then 3 and in the first one 6
so the third one = 1 + fourth one
2nd one = 2 + third one
1st one = 3 + 2nd one
idk it only relates the middle and the bottom left corner
is there like an answer sheet in the back of your book or something?
Unfortunately there isnt one lol
@primal horizon Has your question been resolved?
@primal horizon Has your question been resolved?
I have centre = largest corner plus left corner minus right corner

is that why we get -3 as the answer
cube root is inverse function of cube
its bc indices

does conditional statements exist in Mathematics?
Yes. There are piece-wise functions.
so that means can i do something like x = 1 if y == 1 else 0?
Yes.
and how can i write it in math?
like how should it look like, i suppose it would be some operator, not if
For example abs value of x is that
$$|x|=\begin{cases} x & \text{if } x\geq 0 \
-x & \text{if } x<0\end{cases}$$

what is the square root of 672
hmmm wait
Is it 672 or 676?
672
,calc sqrt(672)
Result:
25.922962793631
square root of 66
all these can be obtained from a calculator

Calculus - Trigonometry and limits
Hey folks, I started learning about the aforementioned subject this week and a few things confuse me. I'll explain with an example:
lim x->0: [ (cosx * (1 - cosx)) / (x^2 * (cosx + sqrt(cosx)) ]
I figured I could simply do the following:
lim x-> 0: cosx = 1
lim x -> 0: (1 - cosx) = (lim x-> 0: 1) - (lim x->0: cosx) = 1 - 1 = 0
So the limit up the left side of the expression is 0, and the right part is positive, hence the limit is 0.
I understand that this technique is wrong, but I'm sure sure why - and I'd really appreciate some advice on this.
Trying to edit this for the sake of readability:
for lim := lim x -> 0:
lim ((cosx * (1 - cosx)) / (x^2 * (cosx + sqrt(cosx))
so
lim cosx = 1
lim (1 - cosx) = (lim 1) - (lim cosx) = 1 - 1 = 0
are you saying that you have
[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos(x)(1-\cos(x))}{x^2(\cos(x) +\sqrt{\cos(x)}}
] and from that you evaluated the numerator to be equal to 0, thus concluded that the entire limit needs to be equal to 0, as well?
♡LexQa♡
Correct, through a few counterexamples I can tell that this is clearly not true
and youre asking why that isnt the case?
Well, amongst other things.
I don't understand what I don't understand in all honesty
the lower half of the limit can be infinity for instance
Ah, fair enough.
and just generally it isnt great to assume that just because part of a limit is something the whole limit it
I think I might be mixing up sequences arithmetic with function arithmetic
check the lower limit to see if its also 0
I've already plugged in the entire thing into WA, I was kind of surprised to see that the answer is 1/4.
Meaning, its nore minus infinity or 0
well then it most likely is 0 so wolfram did l'hopitals or somethin
it can be 0 which is indeterminate
so you do l'hopital
facts
I'm not sure what that means
you dont know l'hopitals rule?
I might, could just be language differences. Lemme check
wait is it [
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos(x)(1-\cos(x))}{x^2(\cos(x) +\sqrt{\cos(x)})}
]
Oh, we haven't gotten around to derivatives.
♡LexQa♡
Yeah that'd be the exercise
oh okay you dont have to use l'hopital
I figured, otherwise that'd be kind of unfair haha
I'm wondering how I should go about this exercise though
Since my current understanding on how to calculate limits is clearly flawed
Apparently I can't just separate expressions and calculate their limits to just add them all up
not always
especially not if you might get indeterminates like here
you might
especially since its a fraction
it really depends
When can you do it?
honestly id just think through both sides of the limit and see if its indeterminate
if it is
dont do that
otherwise go ahead
There's no clever arithmetics I can do with the function?
thats what i was thinking about
is there any way you can simplify this function?
the bottom half looks too weird to do anything arithmetically
Errr
(-cosx / x^2) * ((cosx - 1) / (cosx + sqrt(cosx))
?
Not sure what the hell to do with the right hand side though.
Just trying to make these into "edible" expressions.
do you know how to use latex?
ill try and write it out in latex
Cheers
wait lemme try to figure this out it should take a minute
$\frac{-cos(x)}{x^2}\frac{cos(x)-1}{cos(x)-\sqrt{cos(x)}}$
[
\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-\cos(x) * (\cos(x) - 1)}{x^2 * (\cos(x) +\sqrt{\cos(x)})}
]
Well, was worth a shot lol
why tf is it putting it in the top
alright I found out how it's pretty simple
Yeah?
multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate 1+cosx
Kel.plush
Pardon?
Christ studying math in anything other than English is such a handicap
Wait you know the identity lim x->0 sinx/x = 1 right
Right
Try it out and let me know if you have any problems
you should be able to find the answer >:)
It's just that I'm not sure what conjugate means
Oh basically the conjugate of 1-cosx is 1+cosx
thats what i meant
by muliplying your expression by this you can use other trig identities to simplify
Uh, I don't really know what to do with the denominator
Becomes kind of crazy
Thats fine you don't need to touch that
Oh?
Do you see something you can simplify on the numerator?
Uhh yeah it looks familiar
I don't yet know the identities by heart, gotta open the right page real quick
Closest thing I'm finding is 2cos^2(a) - 1 = sin(2a)
perhaps there are more identities I don't yet know
That or I'm blind, which is also possible
how did you get this
Hm?
What do you mean
This is one of the identities we have in the book, I didn't really do anything
on the numerator
I mean, it's just 1 - cos^2(x) innit?
correct
what identity is that
i believe its cos2a
sin2a=2sinacosa
Oh?
$\cos^{2}x + \sin^{2}x = 1$
yep!
♡LexQa♡
now do you see how you can solve the limit?
I mean this is great, I still don't know what to do with the denominator though
What did you mean by "I'm not supposed to touch it"?
I meant that you don't need to simplify it in anyway
Maybe divide it into small chunks
Now do you see how you can use your sinx/x identity
And then figure out the limit?
Yeah I can look at sin(2x) / x * x individually now, but I still don't know what to do with the rest of the denominator
ah yeah sorry, wrote it wrong
and after it is no longer 0/0 and you can just plug and find the answer
Yeah that one I managed, what about sqrt(cosx) and stuff?
Ohh
Let's see..
I just need some help
Okay, but why in my channel though'
That's pretty rude
I’m sorry I’m new here
I’m sorry I just don’t know where to go
I’m lost
Where would I go for help
I'm kind of amazed that this worked
ngl
honestly lowkey satisfying to solve
i took calc 1 last semester and its something the prof said to do
before we learned l'hopital
The answer that was offered to me is so much harder, incredible
Just think whether one can multiply by expressions in order to simplify them?
What is it they said exactly? Genuinely curious
I want to adopt whatever you did
Well tbh when you see something like this, you can try multiplying by the conjugate when nothing else seems to simplify
Because seeing cos(x) * (1 - cos(x)) and thinking ah I can obviously make this sin^2(x) is not obvious to say the least, at least not to me
Oh, the conjugate you say?
I'll write that down
Oh actually this is funny
The expression I displayed here is already uh... multiplied by the conjugate I think
what do you mean haha
It was oroginally (sqrt(cosx) - cosx) / x^2
Then I multiplied the nominator by this "conjugate" I think?
ohhh yeah you did lmao
sqrt(cosx) + cosx / sqrt(cosx) + cosx
thats crazy lol
Ah!
Incredible
Would've never thought about doing it twice, that's funny
anyway tysm for the help
np

Hello, can someone help me write this equation in Latex please?
$$\cos x \sin(\frac{2}{3}\pi + x) - \sqrt{3}\cos^2 x = \sin x \cos(x-\frac{\pi}{6})$$

Thank you
Depending on your setup, you may need \left( and \right) for the brackets to size themselves
As per the sin here
