4.80 for mangoes, 12-4.80 = 7.20

#

how did you get the answer to i) ?

chilly dove
#

i dont have the math i did before but i can just paste you some of the calculation

quaint star
#

its alright

#

we can start from the begging

#

i believe your answer is wrong

chilly dove
#

are you sure?

#

cuz my teacher corrected it and it was correct

quaint star
#

Im quite sure unless it's something i dont see

#

so

#

lets start with c

#

we know that she has 12 euros right ?

#

now she buys 3 mangoes

chilly dove
#

yea

quaint star
#

3 mangoes are 4.80

#

so how many euros does she have left ?

chilly dove
#

14.4

#

wait no

quaint star
#

no

chilly dove
#

thats the amount bought

quaint star
#

no

chilly dove
#

k

quaint star
#

if you have money and you buy something you have less money in your hands afterwords

#

so try it again

#

she has 12 euros and she spends 4.80 of it, how much money does she have left in her hands ?

chilly dove
#

7.10

quaint star
#

no

#

what 12 -4.8 ?

#

youre close

chilly dove
#

7.2

quaint star
#

alright so she has 7.20 euros left

#

right ?

#

do you understand that far ?

#

now we know that each apple is 70 cents right ?

chilly dove
#

yea

quaint star
#

so how can she buy 17 apples prices at 70 cents if that amounts to 11.90 euros when we only have 7.20?

#

she would not have enough money

#

how many apples do you think she can buy with 7.20 euros ?

chilly dove
#

10

quaint star
#

good

#

and 10 times 70 cents is 7 euros

#

so if she spent 7 euros and she has 7.20 euros

#

how much do you think she has left ?

chilly dove
#

20 cents

quaint star
#

yes

#

good job bro

chilly dove
#

well

quaint star
#

that's your answer

chilly dove
#

no

quaint star
#

explain

chilly dove
#

i think ur wrong

quaint star
#

explain

chilly dove
#

here ill just paste the math

quaint star
#

alright

chilly dove
#

i only have a part of it

#

and i did get (i) correct

#

ik its correct cuz my teacher made the question

#

😂

#

chill

#

ok ill just put 20 cents and after my teacher corrects it ill see if u got it correct

quaint star
#

1 mango = 1.60 , 3 mangoes = 4.80 . She has 12 euro , we remove 4.80 euro as she buys the mangoes, she is left with 7.20 euro, since 12-4.80. Now that we know 7.20 is her spending money, we know that apples are 0.70 a piece, which means she can buy 10. 10 * 0.70 is 7 euros, and now we can work out how much she has left. 7.20 - 7.00 = 0.20. that's the money she has left. 0.20 euros is how much she has left

#

which part are you not understanding

#

the answer you got which is 14 is because you worked it without removing the cost of the mangoes

#

🙂

chilly dove
#

why did my teacher mark it correct then

quaint star
#

teachers make mistakes

chilly dove
#

ok ill go tell my teacher that hes wrong

quaint star
#

if you want to workout how much change she has after buying 17 apples without the mangoes, do 17*0.7 = 11.9. 12-11.9 = 0.10 euros.

what do you think the word "meet" means

dreamy knot
slate monolith

have you learned derivatives

#

I'm guessing not

dreamy knot
#

nope

slate monolith

so it means intersects

dreamy knot

ohh

slate monolith
#

how do you find the x value where two linear equations intersect

dreamy knot
#

you use the entire formula

#

like the quadratic formula

slate monolith
#

all you have to do is set the two equations equal to eachother

if a = 2x + 3 and b = -4x + 7

steady basin
#

is my logic ie method

#

correct for part a?

analog widget
#

Im kinda confused with the question. It's asking what's gonna happen if n tends to a very large number?

steady basin
#

basically as n gets bigger, what does the function tend towards

analog widget
#

You gotta do the limit when n tends to infinity

steady basin
#

we dont need to

#

i dont think

analog widget
#

Well, that's solve the question

#

Let me do the first one rq

steady basin
#

ok

worn fox
steady basin
#

but yh

worn fox
#

What is your way?

steady basin
#

since my lecturer taught us the method i did

steady basin
worn fox
#

Right no matter how.you do it, you're still finding the limit

steady basin
#

ye

#

i got 0

#

thats the limit

steady basin
#

lemme check my mark scheme acc

worn fox
analog widget
#

Just finished let me just check if i did it right

ruby current
#

also worth dividing the numerator and denominator by the highest power of n (which is n^9) to argue algebraically

pseudo ice
#

thinkies methinks that soon you'll become very familiar with my method of finding limits

steady basin
analog widget
#

The first one tends to 0

steady basin
#

i got this for b

steady basin

You could also use lhopital if you're lazy

steady basin

thats too long

thats not for being lazy

Well Yh

ur welcome

but it also shouldnt be too hard to prove either

Get a new book bro

steady basin

n! dominates the denom?

steady basin

yes

steady basin

Get a new lecturer

ask chartbit

this is for

#

all modules

pseudo ice
#

Can confirm, many of us can tbh ded

worn fox
#

Change unis

#

Run while you still can

steady basin
#

why should i change

worn fox
#

Bc your markschemes suck

steady basin
analog widget
#

Limit goes crazy when you start by the formal definition 💀

steady basin
#

just to confirm

#

everyone agrees with this?

When in doubt, try an example

steady basin
analog widget
#

If the denominator tends to 0 and the numerator a constant, it tends to infinity

steady basin
#

my lecturer notes show it works

#

this method

analog widget
#

Let me read

steady basin
#

ok

analog widget
#

You can get n as big as you want

steady basin
#

yh

pseudo ice
#

algebra of limits thinkies

analog widget
#

The rule is Lim of h(x), where h(x) = f(x)/g(x)/ f(x) tends to a constant and g(x) = 0, if f(x)/g(x) > 0 then the limit will tend to + infinity

steady basin
#

struggling with c

analog widget
#

If f(x)/g(x)<0 it will tend to -ininity

#

2^n dominates then

whole shell
#

Other way round. If n < 2^n

#

Then

ruby current
#

2^n dominates what?

whole shell
#

n2^n is less than 4^n

#

Which is less than 10^n

steady basin
steady basin
ruby current
whole shell
#

what happened to n2^n

steady basin
whole shell
#

@steady basin you were confused on whether n2^n dominates over 10^n

ruby current
#

because it allows you to see that n2^n < 4^n < 10^n

steady basin
whole shell
#

Because 4^n is obviously less than 10^n

steady basin
#

yh but

whole shell
#

And by showing you that n2^n is less than 4^n

steady basin
#

why u talking about 4^n

#

wheres 4^n come from

steady basin
#

the ocean?

pseudo ice
ruby current
#

$n < 2^n \implies n2^n < 2^n \cdot 2^n$

ocean sealBOT
#

tushar

steady basin
#

anyway

#

its pretty logical to see

#

10^n is bigger than n2^n

whole shell
#

Not really

#

Well it's not something you can usually prove at first glance

ruby current
#

it might be, but reasoning will always win

#

also good thing to note that n < x^n for all x greater than 1

steady basin
#

sry im still over confused of ur proof showing n2^n < 10^n

whole shell
#

If n < 2^n, then you times both sides by 2^n

#

And you get n2^n < 4^n

tacit arch
steady basin
#

makes sense

whole shell
#

2^n times 2^n = 4^n

steady basin
#

ye makes sense

#

and 4^n is obvs smaller than 10^n

ruby current
#

$2^n \cdot 2^n = (2 \cdot 2)^n$

ocean sealBOT
#

tushar

steady basin
#

so

#

does the function tend to infinity?

whole shell
#

Yh

steady basin
pseudo ice
pseudo ice
#

And would say e.g. divide the numerator and denominator by [something] or like that

#

There's a similar idea here with how you're doing these limits, you can e.g. try and manipulate these into a form where it's like limits that you can work out

steady basin
#

yr

steady basin
#

its leng

whole shell
#

Yh that's a nice method. You can also use maclaurin series if your function doesn't contain a polynomial

steady basin
#

...

steady basin
analog widget
steady basin
#

ye

analog widget
#

Simplify that

steady basin
#

part d

whole shell
#

Yh I'd agree

pseudo ice
#

Yep that's fair

steady basin
#

nice

pseudo ice
#

or divide num and dom by n^4 and algebra of limits catThimc

steady basin
#

ye

analog widget
#

yep

pseudo ice
#

[if postedit didn't exist...]

steady basin
#

also @pseudo ice any chance u could have a look at the mock i sent u and lmk if theres any questions i can do from it as of now, reagrding the topics ive done so far, par q4 since i asked u that yesterday

#

my aim is to do cauchy and other convergence power series stuff tmr

whole shell
#

Yh you'd get (6 + 12logn/n⁴)/(3 + 1/n²). And you'd see that logn/n⁴ goes to 0 and 1/n² goes to 0 and so you're left with 6/3

steady basin
#

which will complete real analysis content

pseudo ice
#

That one?

steady basin
#

thats the next chapter i believe

pseudo ice
#

Oh damn, well fair enough I guess, getting ahead of myself catThimc

steady basin
pseudo ice
#

fair fairs

steady basin
#

ight thats me done for today

steady basin
#

these r the chapters i have left

#

gonna aim to do all of these tmr

#

😭

#

so i can do the mock sunday

pseudo ice
#

Fair fair, yep a new day, a new grind 💪

#

Actually what am I saying

#

,time

ocean sealBOT
#

The current time for chartbit is 12:10 AM (GMT) on Sat, 21/01/2023.

steady basin
steady basin
#

and limits of convergence

#

like M-n proofs

#

epsilon - n

#

whatever theyre called

pseudo ice
#

I mean, you kinda did some of the epsilon-n proofs today in a way

#

How did you find that?

steady basin
#

semi

#

mid

#

the stuff i just did now

#

was the easiest

#

this kinda stuff

pseudo ice
#

Cauchy sequences, at least theoretically they're not too bad to deal with (e.g. convergence implies Cauchyness, a Cauchy sequence with a convergent subsequence converges and all)

pseudo ice
#

That stuff about finding the least N was epsilon-n convergence in disguise, in a way

steady basin
#

my aim is to do the mock sunday

#

i mean i want like a decent mark

#

like 60 % is a 2:1

#

and 70% is a first

pseudo ice
#

I think so if you work on it, and as always if you have questions, come here and people will be happy to help you(!)

#

Maybe give q3 a go too for now too? or at least think about it?

#

[if you haven't already]

steady basin
#

acc before we do that

#

lets finish off today with this

#

i had an exam in novemeber

#

and i got the proof wrong

#

lemme show u

pseudo ice
#

Cool cool, fair enough!

#

What have youTried so far catThimc

steady basin
#

can i simplify Cn

#

at all?

#

hmmmm

whole shell
#

@steady basin what about doing it the other way round. Is there any other way you can write e^-n

#

I've never done these kinda stuff. So I don't know anymore than you do.

#

Well i do have atleast 1 idea

steady basin
#

ngl

#

idrk

whole shell
#

@steady basin well we can start from 1 > 0

#

Then add e^2n on both sides

#

So

#

e^2n + 1 > e^2n

#

Then if we do e^n divided by those 2

#

We can get

#

e^n / (e^2n + 1) < e^n / e^2n

#

And e^n/e^2n = e^-n

#

This should be acceptable since e^n will never be negative

steady basin
#

but how did u recgonise to do that

#

thats what i find hard about real analysis

#

i never know how to start of

#

off

#

ygm

whole shell
#

i recognised that e^-n is the same as e^n/e^2n

#

Which relates to

#

The e^n/(e^2n + 1)

#

So i just formally proved that the cn denominator is always bigger . And so the number itself is smaller

steady basin
#

i see

#

genius

whole shell
magic haven
#

another way to do it is to multiply the top and bottom by e^-n

#

so u get $c_n=\frac1{e^n+e^{-n}}<\frac1{e^n}$

ocean sealBOT
magic haven
#

and thats it

alpine sable

is what i wrote

#

but idk if thats valid

#

lol

slim spire
#

real integer?

alpine sable
#

well i guess i could have jsut said integer

limpid turret
#

Not sure, but this smells of circular logic.

#

It would help you to have a well-defined definition of "even" and "odd" integer

alpine sable
#

so say like even is 2k and odd is 2k+1?

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

Let P be a predicate that is true when an integer is even and false other-
wise.
Let Q be a predicate that is true when an integer is odd and false otherwise.

#

should I redefine these?

#

so maybe

limpid turret
#

Nah those definitions seem fine

alpine sable
#

oh

#

where do I add the 2k and 2k+1 bit then?

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

urrrrm so like where in my proof would i add that bit?

#

at the very start

limpid turret
#

so like

  1. Define even and odd
  2. Define P and Q
  3. State your assertion
  4. Prove it
alpine sable
#

ah ic

limpid turret
#

It helps to use predicates to define even and odd as well

#

e.g. "n is even iff exists k such that 2k = n"

alpine sable
#

so like "Let an even number be a number described by 2k where k is an arbitrary integer"

#

oh

#

that sounds better

#

What is iff again?

limpid turret
#

if-and-only-if

alpine sable
#

o <->

#

?

limpid turret
#

yup

alpine sable
#

is it just \iff?

#

in latex

#

$\iff$

ocean sealBOT
#

hibyehibye

alpine sable
#

ahhh

#

ic

#

is if-then just $\rightarrow$ ?

ocean sealBOT
#

hibyehibye

limpid turret
#

yup

#

P -> Q is "if P then Q" or "P implies Q"

alpine sable
#

yea ic

#

$n is even \iff exists k such that 2k = n$

ocean sealBOT
#

hibyehibye

limpid turret
#

Or "Q is true when P is true" if you like being abstruse

alpine sable
#

would I actually write the word iff in my proof?

#

or should i write if and only if?

limpid turret
#

your prof/TA should know what iff means

@alpine sable Don't forget to prove that even and odd are contrapositives

lone heartBOT

alpine sable

urm what do you mean?

limpid turret
#

If even, then not odd, and vice-versa

#

even iff not odd

alpine sable
#

do u mean something like

#

$\forall x (P(x) \vee Q(x))$ is a true statement because any arbitrary real integer is either even or odd because [insert contrapositive proof here]$

ocean sealBOT

limpid turret
#

Nah you need to prove that for all x, P(x) is true if and only if Q(x) is false

alpine sable
#

hm

limpid turret
#

You can't just say "an integer is either even or odd" because it has not been proven yet

#

It must be proven

alpine sable
#

so i have to prove by proving the contrapositive?

limpid turret
#

So far, you've defined that even and odd are properties an integer may posses, but have not proven that all integers must have only one

alpine sable
#

of $P(x) \iff Q(x)$ ?

limpid turret
ocean sealBOT

hibyehibye

alpine sable
limpid turret
#

Forget I used that word. English is not my best subject

alpine sable
#

o

alpine sable
#

okay lemme get back to u in like 5mins

#

ill try and prove it on my own

#

hm so

#

$ P(x) \iff \neg Q(x)$ is what im trying to prove

#

So like base case, of n=1

#

and then induction ?

#

@limpid turret is this the right lines

#

Or what about

#

base case 1 is odd bec its described by 2k+1

limpid turret
#

brb

alpine sable
#

wait

#

base case 0

#

number is even

#

cuz its 2 * 0

#

induction that if the number is even its described by 2k so the next number is 2k+1

#

and then if its odd 2k+1+1 = 2k+2 = 2(k+1)?

#

therefore every number is either odd or even

#

I think I got it TY

You've made me curious

alpine sable
#

wait gimme liike 3mins

#

So i changed my domain to Z+

limpid turret
#

okie

#

So just N?

alpine sable
#

ok then I had my base case as 0

#

oh im proving that

#

all positive integers are either even or odd

#

So 0 = 0*2 (base case)

#

and then induction

#

so

#

n+1 is odd or even

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

yea

limpid turret
#

You've proven 0 is even, but where is your proof that it is not odd?

alpine sable
#

I didnt prove that bec i didnt think it was necessary

limpid turret
#

That's the core of what you're trying to prove though

alpine sable
#

$\forall x (P(x) \vee Q(x))$ is a true statement because any arbitrary positive integer has to be either even or odd.

ocean sealBOT

hibyehibye

alpine sable

thats what im trying to prove no?

This is where proofs are tricky. You're taking for granted what is known and what you are proving

#

even or odd

#

ic what u mean

#

ohhh

#

so do i just remove the either from that statement?

limpid turret
#

So you meant logical or, not exclusive or?

alpine sable
#

Yes!

#

logical OR

limpid turret
#

Ah

alpine sable
#

how should I rephrase that?

limpid turret
#

This makes your question confusing if I am being honest

#

Why not do exclusive or?

alpine sable
#

Bec the statement im trying to prove is $\forall x (P(x) \vee Q(x))$

ocean sealBOT
#

hibyehibye

alpine sable
#

and thats logical OR

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

o ic

alpine sable
limpid turret
#

Okay I reset my brain for a second

alpine sable
#

lol all good

limpid turret
#

Clarify for me, you wanted to prove $\forall x (P(x) \vee Q(x))$ does not distribute to $\forall x P(x) \vee \forall x Q(x))$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

yes

limpid turret
#

Is that what you are doing this?

alpine sable
#

mhm

limpid turret
#

Okay

#

yeah I'm the one who mentioned you use even-odd as a counter example

alpine sable
#

yeah!

#

I think the proofs honestly good now

#

I just changed my domain to Z+ bec it made it alot easier

limpid turret
#

Okay, you're going to need the XOR quality to show this tho

alpine sable
limpid turret
#

That's what makes the counterexample happen

limpid turret
alpine sable
limpid turret
#

XOR is exclusive OR

#

It means P is true, or Q is true, but not both

alpine sable
#

Yeah but like how is XOR related to distributing the universal quantifier over a disjunction?

limpid turret
#

Logically, it's P<=>!Q

alpine sable
#

Like im confused why I have to have anything related to XOR tbh

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

oki

limpid turret
#

$\forall x P(x)$ is false

ocean sealBOT
limpid turret
#

I'm sure you agree there, yeah?

alpine sable
#

Yup

#

I proved that in my proof

limpid turret
#

Same with Q(x), yeah?

alpine sable
#

yeah

limpid turret
#

one sec, gotta write this out.

alpine sable
#

kk

#

i can dm u my proof so far

limpid turret
#

go for it

#

Or send here

alpine sable
#

Preface before you read its basically my 2nd time writing proofs so its kind of bad lol

limpid turret
#

no worries

#

So this is one part of what is important:

#

P=even and Q=odd will definitely have this property.

alpine sable
#

where did the $\forall x (P(x) \iff \neg Q(X))$ come from?

ocean sealBOT
#

hibyehibye

limpid turret
#

Mix that fact with this fact for P (and Q)

#

And you have your counterexample

limpid turret
alpine sable
#

But I guess where I'm lost is why we need to prove that in the first place

limpid turret
#

I'm still working, so slow replies

alpine sable
#

like logically I dont understand the need to prove that P(x) \iff ~Q(x)

limpid turret
#

But I'm gonna read through your proof

alpine sable
#

oki

#

tysm for all the help btw

#

I know I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to discrete lol

45 -45 - 90 special triangle

#

45 -45 - 90 special triangle

#

Do you know that concept?

#

Does something like this look familiar?

#

I mean, does it look like something you learned?

#

Do you know trig?

wary stream
#

That had nothing to do with angles

static tree
#

Do you know what kind of triangle this is?

wary stream

#

Apply*

#

What's another name for a triangle with a 90 deg angle?

#

Good enough

#

What do we know about these right triangles?

#

And what tools do you have that talk about the length?

wary stream
#

And that's what we are doing, helping you

wary stream
static tree
#

Good time to investigate

#

If I gave you a triangle with length 3 on line segment qp and length 5 on qr, can you find length of pr?

#

That is, if we said the length up and down was 3 and the length left and right is 5, can you find the diagonal?

wary stream
#

I think they are hinting to Pythagorean theorem

static tree
#

Try to find the diagonal length of triangle of the example given via Pythagorean theorem.

#

Ah this is right

#

Good

#

Yes

#

So what is pythagorean theorem?

#

What is a and b and what is c?

#

Conceptually

#

C sqrd is 34

#

Why is a equal to 3 and why is 5 equal b?

#

But why didn't you say c =5 or c =3?

ocean sealBOT
#

drsleep

static tree
#

It def matters

#

Here

#

I got another better question

#

How

#

Does the pythagorean theorem relate to triangles?

#

I think that you don't know what how to use pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

#

We've essentially given you the tool

#

There is nothing incorrect about what has been given

wary stream
#

Two options, you can apply that image I presented, or apply pythagorean theorem, by formulating an equation using the given info from that diagram

static tree
#

dldh is absolutely correct

wary stream
#

If you choose option two, the given angles gives you a big hint on the side lengths

#

And you can formulate a pythagorean theorem equation based on that

static tree
#

We won't and no one will

wary stream
#

No

static tree
#

So that's not a discussion

#

Go away

wary stream
#

Because that's not the purpose of the server

Is there any real roots for x^3 - 15x^2 +400. When I solve this normally by taking x as common. I am getting some complex roots. When I graphed this online, It shows 3 real roots

last tendon

If it has complex roots they must come in conjugate pairs. You don't need to plot to know it has a real root.

wary stream
lone heartBOT

@potent plank Has your question been resolved?

rich quiver

@potent plank see if an odd power poly has real coefficients then min. One root is always real

hidden goblet
#

can someone help?

lone heartBOT
gray isle
#

what have you tried?

hidden goblet
#

i tried inverse properties but i think thats wrong

gray isle
#

inverse functions shouldn't be used here

#

if that's what you're referring to

#

or are you using "inverse" to mean reciprocal

hidden goblet
#

no. i was first trying to find t through the first problem (cot(t) = -sqrt35/35)

gray isle
#

yeh, that's not recommended

#

do not make any attempt to find t itself

hidden goblet
#

then how do i find sec(t)?

vale wigeon
#

$\sqrt{3}5$? \catthink

ocean sealBOT
gray isle
#

you could consider drawing a triangle / apply pythagoras and properties of the unit circle

hidden goblet
#

idk if its a sqrt(35) or sqrt(3)5 btw

gray isle
#

its probably sqrt(35)

#

we'll know for sure if an intended solution was given with this

hidden goblet
gray isle
#

since negative lengths aren't really a thing
you could start by drawing a reference triangle with reference angle k where cot(k) = |-sqrt(35)/35)| = sqrt(35)/35

hidden goblet
#

okay

#

is this to find t?

gray isle
#

no

#

do not make any attempt to find t itself

hidden goblet
#

oooh

hidden goblet
gray isle
#

did you do as i asked

#

i'm giving instructions one step at at ime

hidden goblet
#

i drew the triangle yes

gray isle
#

apply pyhtagoras

hidden goblet
#

i dont know how to do that

gray isle
#

do you know what pythagoras' theorem is

hidden goblet
#

yes

gray isle
#

following my instructions
you should have a right triangle with the lengths of two sides known

#

and knowing pythagoras,
that can be applied to obtain the length of the third side

hidden goblet
#

ooh is sqrt35 the adj and is 35 the opp side?

gray isle
#

yeh

hidden goblet
#

so this is hyp?

#

35^2=1260 and sqrt35^2=35 so 1260+35=1260

#

and 1260 is the c^2 value aka hyp

gray isle
#

35^2=1260
how is that ending in 0

#

,calc 35^2

ocean sealBOT
#

Result:

1225
gray isle
#

35^2 is 1225 and 1225+ 35 = 1260

hidden goblet
#

oops

gray isle
#

btw c^2 isn't the hyp

#

c is the hyp

hidden goblet
#

i forgot to say hyp^2

#

lel

gray isle
#

anyway, ideally you'd use exact form and simplify the radical instead of using a decimal approximation

#

anyway, after determine the hyp, use the triangle to determine sec(k)

#

(again keeping stuff in exact form)

hidden goblet
#

what is exact form and simplifying radical?

gray isle
#

e.g. going from $\sqrt{8}$ to $2\sqrt{2}$ instead of approximating it as 2.83

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

hidden goblet
#

oooh yeah

#

so sec(t) is sqrt(1260)/sqrt(35)?

#

do i rationalize denominator too?

gray isle
#

so sec(t) is sqrt(1260)/sqrt(35)?
not quite

#

that would be sec(k)

#

remember that k is the reference angle of t

#

consider the location/quadrant of t,
and whether sec is positive or negative in that quadrant to determine whether sec(t) is sec(k) or -sec(k)

#

so sec(t) is sqrt(1260)/sqrt(35)?
do i rationalize denominator too?
simplify the expression as a whole, rationalising of the denominator will be involved
and you'd also need to simplify any remaining radicals

hidden goblet
#

how do i know what quadrant t is?

gray isle
#

you're essentially told that info

#

$t \in \br{\frac{\pi}{2},\pi}$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

hidden goblet
#

both positive so quadrant 1?

gray isle
#

no

#

do you understand that (interval) notation

#

t is an angle between pi/2 and pi (or between 90° and 180° if you're more comfortable working with degrees)

hidden goblet
#

oooooh

#

i see its just the radians on unit circle

#

so quad 2

#

meaning the sec(t) will be negative

#

so its -6?

#

sqrt(1260)/sqrt(35)=6 but since its quadrant 2 its negative

#

is this correct?

#

@gray isle ?

gray isle
#

yeh

hidden goblet
#

alright thanks

There is a triangle ABC:
Find it's angles.

Can you please give me advice how to find first angle? Should I use cos theorem or dot product of vectors?

vale wigeon
#

wdym by "first angle"?

stone linden
#

I mean basically any angle

#

because after you can use sin theorem

vale wigeon
#

you can use whatever you find easiest. both the law of cosines and the dot product will get you the answer

strange meadow
#

what ann said

#

many ways to skin a cat

stone linden

I mean which one is simpler?

strange meadow
#

dot product seems simpler

stone linden

Because when I tried dot product It got confusing

vale wigeon
#

do you have work to show?

stone linden
#

here look

#

It is messy sotrue

vale wigeon

i think you went about this in a confusing/error-prone way

strange meadow
#

where are the vectors

strange meadow
#

write the vectors out

vale wigeon
#

actually maybe that is wrong entirely

strange meadow
#

wait yeah

#

you first have to find AB

#

or BC

#

or CA

vale wigeon
#

cos(A) = AB·AC/(|AB|·|AC|)

trail cairn
#

Amy and Ben live 17.2 km apart. They cycle to meet each other. Ben travels at
12 km/h and Amy travels at 10 km/h.
a How long (in minutes) until they meet each other?
b What distance have they both travelled?

trail cairn
#

12x-10x=17.2

#

?

strange meadow
#

why is it minus?

vale wigeon
#

and what does x represent?

trail cairn
#

12x+10x=17.2

#

x= the mins

vale wigeon
#

x = "the mins"?

#

so x is supposed to represent the time in minutes for them to meet?

trail cairn
#

yh

median oar
#

So 12 km/hour * x mins + 17 km/hour * x mins = 17.2km

vale wigeon
#

then your equation is incorrect as written

median oar
#

Is that what you’re saying?

vale wigeon
#

the speeds here are given in kilometers per hour not per minute

median oar
#

Notice that mins * 1/hour is not 1

trail cairn
#

ok lets forget that

median oar
#

But if you put x in hours

trail cairn
#

lets start fresh.

vale wigeon
#

you are better off declaring x as the time in hours for the two friends to meet (in which case your equation will be correct),
then afterward, converting the hours into minutes

stoic ledge
#

That isn't correct, they are moving towards each other so they'll meet somewhere in between and hence they won't cover the total distance of 17.2 km

#

I'll try solving this with taking the distance they meet at

vale wigeon
#

@stoic ledge i think you're talking out of your ass rn

median oar
gray isle
stoic ledge
#

My bad

median oar
stoic ledge
#

Continue

median oar
#

Notice here the hours cancel out

#

And you get the right units on both sides

#

Which usually means you’re in the right direction

trail cairn
#

ok

#

Amy and Ben live 17.2 km apart. They cycle to meet each other. Ben travels at
12 km/h and Amy travels at 10 km/h.
a How long (in minutes) until they meet each other?
b What distance have they both travelled?

#

what should i do

median oar
#

Well we first know that Amy and Ben travel for the same amount of time

stoic ledge
#

Find the time using frosst's equation

median oar
#

Well we actually don’t know that they start together but it’s not solvable without that assumption

stoic ledge
#

Then calculate the individual distance they travelled

#

Using speed * time

median oar
#

Notice that speed is in length/time

#

And time is just time

trail cairn
#

yh

median oar
#

So speed * time = length/time * time = length = distance

stoic ledge
#

Yes

#

The time comes out to be approximately 47 minutes

#

If I made no errors

median oar
#

,calc 47/60*(12+10)

ocean sealBOT
#

Result:

17.233333333333
median oar
#

Yeah close

trail cairn
#

so 17.23min

stoic ledge
#

Uh

#

47

stoic ledge
trail cairn
#

how did you get that

stoic ledge
#

He did reverse calculation to check if my answer was right

#

Well

#

10x + 12x = 17.2

#

Solve for x

#

You get time in hours

#

Multiply by 60

vale wigeon
#

what a shitshow.

trail cairn
