just for context, i was talking about the lim x-> 0 cosx/x

heady void
#

oh ok

glass crest
#

wait what should i do after this 🥲

sharp thorn
#

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cancel{x}(1-\frac{tan x}{x})}{\cancel{x}(\frac{\sin x}{x} -1)}$

ocean sealBOT
#

bettim

sharp thorn
#

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(1-\frac{tan x}{x})}{(\frac{\sin x}{x} -1)}$

ocean sealBOT

bettim

sharp thorn
#

after this i cant figure out anything so just use l'opitals rule

#

LMFAO

and help me disect it

alpine sable
#

The question is saying there are 13 points on a plane and there exists only 5 particular points among them are colinear rest are not[unless of course those 3 points chosen is a subset of those 5 points]

#

So how many lines can be drawn on the plane

alpine sable
wintry zephyr
#

and

#

is this question asking how many possible lines can be drawn, something to do with combinations or permutations? and if the line over the colinear points counts as one or multiple lines connected togather?

#

i know that for every 2 dots

#

1 line can be drawn

alpine sable
#

it's a question of PnC

wintry zephyr
#

pnc?

#

not sure with the notation

wintry zephyr
alpine sable
wintry zephyr
#

line over the colinear points counts as one or multiple lines connected togather?

alpine sable
#

hmm, yes the line over the colinear points also counts as one

wintry zephyr
#

alright, lemme try to get something out of this

#

so talking about total amount of lines that can be on here

#

for 5 colinear dots, there are 4 lines

#

and for 8 remaining dots

#

there will be 7 lines

#

but the thing is

alpine sable
wintry zephyr
#

forgot

#

the thing is that

alpine sable
#

C(8, 2)

wintry zephyr
#

i know there wont be

#

so for any 3 dots, there will be 3 lines

alpine sable
#

a line is formed by 2 points

wintry zephyr
#

yea

alpine sable
#

u have 8 points

#

no 3 are colinear

wintry zephyr
#

yea they arent

alpine sable
#

so how many ways can u choose 2 points

#

that's all it is for that case

wintry zephyr
#

if i only look at the 8 dots

#

i am not able to see it yet

#

so i am trying to sort of trying to intuitively get it first

#

but no i cant see it yet

alpine sable
#

I think u should draw it probably

wintry zephyr
#

youre right

#

if i treat the 5 co linear lines as NOT co linear and treat them like all the other ones

#

i can connect any 1 point with any 12 of the remaining points to form a line

#

Lucid, is this assumption correct?

#

so i can connect P1 with 12, P2 with 12, P3 with 12, and so on

#

ill be able to connect 13 points with 12 possible dots, if i erase away the lines i draw in eachtime for each new dot i will be connecting with other dots

#

so 13^12

#

@alpine sable are these assumptions correct? so i can tweak and build upon these

#

ohh shit

#

ur offline

#

sorry for ping

lone heartBOT
#

@wintry zephyr Has your question been resolved?

alpine sable
#

do you know nCr?

#

which basically tells the number of subsets of k elements from a set of n elements

#

not saying u can't solve it otherwise[if you know the number of diagonals of a polygon of n sides is n(n-3) /2 then also u can solve it or even just by the addition and multiplication principle but those are not the most straight forward apporaches]

now back to this

lone heartBOT
#

@wintry zephyr Has your question been resolved?

alpine sable
# wintry zephyr why is it being divided by 2?

i will recommend u not to take that approach[its because of repition the line from point of a to b is same as that of b to a] if you know nCr anyway then u are just choosing two points of 8 points dont you know thats C(8,2)=8!/(6!*2!)

alpine sable
#

Yo

#

for some reason i got this one wrong

#

Can someone explain how

elder fog
#

x is your adjacent

alpine sable
#

Wait

#

How id x the adjacent

#

I thought jt was the opposite

elder fog
#

no

#

the unlabeled side is opposite

#

x is adjacent

#

cause its one of the

#

sides that make up the angle

#

and then 24 is your hyp

alpine sable
#

So is 24 the hyp

elder fog
#

cosine 30 is sqrt3/2

#

put into an inequality

#

x/24=sqrt3/2

alpine sable
#

Um

#

Were hust finding with missing side length

elder fog
#

yeah

#

multiple both by 24

#

x=12sqrt3

#

rounds to 21

alpine sable
#

can you tell me it the calculator way

elder fog
#

yeah

#

just

#

12cos30

#

make sure youre in degrees

alpine sable
#

Alr

elder fog
#

what math are you in btw

#

cause itll help you in the future if you have the unit circle memorized

alpine sable
#

Sophomore math

elder fog
#

so you know cos 30 is sqrt3/2 etc

#

that can mean a lot of different things lmao

alpine sable
#

But how do i identify whats the adjacent and whats the opposite

#

bc i always thought the opposite was opposite from the hypotenuse

elder fog
#

opposite is opposite from the angle

#

the way the angle is pointing

#

the angle is made up of two lines right

#

those two lines or sides

#

one is adjacent

#

the other is hyp

alpine sable
#

what angle

elder fog
#

the angle youre given

alpine sable
#

Theres two angles on this one

elder fog
#

i dont think this one is trig

alpine sable
#

It is

slate monolith
#

It is

elder fog
#

what

#

isnt it a 30 60 90 triangle?

slate monolith
#

That’s still trig

elder fog
#

is it ☠️

#

i mean like you dont need the trig operators

slate monolith
#

I guess

elder fog
#

but anyway

#

a is x

slate monolith
#

Do you know your 306090 triangle rizz

elder fog
#

b is xsqrt3 but you dont need it

#

and c which is given is 16

alpine sable
slate monolith
#

Draw a general triangle

#

Moro why

#

!nosols

lone heartBOT
#

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

elder fog
#

OH WAIT

#

THE 30 IS ONTOP

#

ok so 8sqrt3

#

13.9

#

yea

alpine sable
#

Also how is this question not c

ember citrus
alpine sable
#

but would b be the opposite

ember citrus
#

not of angle A, no

#

the opposite would be side a

alpine sable
#

oh ok

#

and what angle do i look at

#

To indentify the opposite

elder fog
#

well in answer C its angle A

ember citrus
#

it says tangent of A, so you have to look at it from the point of view of angle A

elder fog
#

the opposite of uppercase a is lowercase a

#

its usually like that but you cant rely on that when you like

#

actually have values ☠️

ember citrus
#

opposite

alpine sable
#

so what would be a triangle where the opposite is the opposite from the hyptorenuse

ember citrus
#

the hypotenuse is never the opposite

alpine sable
#

No im saying

#

What would a triangle look like when the opposite is b

#

From the triangle abovd

elder fog
ember citrus
elder fog
#

the opposite is whichever the angle does not touch and is facing toward

ember citrus
#

literally just draw an arrow from where the angle is and straight

#

to the side opposite from it

#

like i did

#

and thats the opposite

alpine sable
#

So is 15 the opposite for this problem?

ember citrus
#

no

#

there is no set opposite

#

it depends on what angle youre talking about

alpine sable
#

Tan q

ember citrus
#

the opposite for angle R and the opposiet for angle Q are different

ember citrus
alpine sable
#

Oh ok

#

Ty

junior warren
#

not entirely sure how to go about doing b here?

junior warren
#

i know i have the formula

#

that the error |R_n|=|S-S_n|<b_n+1

#

but im not sure how to apply that exactly

#

actually, since it has to be less than bn+1, would i just find the kth partial sum that makes the bn+1 value equal to that decimal?

#

but then again not sure how i could go about doing that

merry depot
#

you've got it backwards

#

|S - Sn| < b_(n+1)
so if you find the first k so that b_(k+1) < L
then |S - Sk| < L

junior warren
#

ah ok makes sense

#

but how would i find the b_k+1 to fit that?

merry depot
#

you have the formula written there for each a_n

junior warren
#

right

merry depot
#

calculate some of them until a_n < 10^-7

junior warren
#

hmm ok

#

is there any way to guarentee i land on the value besides plugging in random values?

merry depot
#

depends on the formula. Make an educated guess first.

junior warren
#

i tried throwing in 3 but im still only 4 decimals in

#

i guess since its decr ill throw in some bigger #s

junior warren
merry depot
#

well... you need .0000001 = 1/10^7
7! ~ 5000
(1/2)^5 = 1/32
So that term is ~ 1/160000
That's where I'd start

junior warren
#

oh

#

thats a cool way to do it

#

let me try that

#

is there any reason you went with those values

merry depot
#

It's the last term given in the example. Just wanted to see what it was, roughly.

junior warren
#

should the (1/2) be ^7 then

merry depot
#

oh yeah. my bad

junior warren
#

i can atleast narrow it down to an odd number so that id have a positive value?

#

still struggling to find the value though lol

#

i had friends throw it into matlab and etc but i wanted to try doing it by hand

How can I calculate the sum of
1+5¹+5²+5³+...+5^n

prime badge
#

if it was 10 not 5

#

so calculate 1111111111

#

we could subtract 1 from 1000000000 to get 999999999 and divide by 9

#

i bet that works in base 5 too

35y and 10y both implying your multiplying 35 or 10 by y

Which represents years

Your looking for y (his age)

Oh okay

#
  1. Joseph bakes same number of cupcakes each day. He used 2 cups of flour
    in each cupcake. Write the algebraic expression to represent the number of
    cups of flour Joseph uses each day in baking cupcakes.
#

Is the answer 2d?

wary stream
#

Looks fine

ivory mica
#

Oh ty

#

The it said to do it with solution

wary stream
#

Also, your naming of variables, for word problems, is definitely not how most people would do it

ivory mica
#

2n?

#

Teacher said to do it with solution

#

How do i solve it?

#
  1. Joseph bakes same number of cupcakes each day. He used 2 cups of flour
    in each cupcake. Write the algebraic expression to represent the number of
    cups of flour Joseph uses each day in baking cupcakes.
    That describes cups, so the more appropriate variable is c, and I'm 90% sure the key uses c
ivory mica
wary stream
#

What exactly do you mean solve?

#

There's nothing to solve

#

It's literally making an equation from words

ivory mica
#

So u cant make a solution for 2c maybe its because Its not an equation like 12+n=13-12=1

#

Ah so maybe it only works for unkown numbers like variables

#

Example

#

12+n=20

#

Solution

wary stream
ivory mica
#

12+n=20-12=8 so n8

wary stream
#

It equals something

ivory mica
#

Okay finally understanded it

wary stream
ivory mica
#

Ohhhh

#

Maybe my teacher ia dumb

wary stream
#

You're not providing context

#

Teacher said to do it with solution
How do i solve it?
You're saying this. This is my response
What exactly do you mean solve?
There's nothing to solve
It's literally making an equation from words

ivory mica
#

No,he litterally said to answer it with sollution

wary stream
#

You realize a solution means an answer to the problem

ivory mica
#

Ik but on the other one says answer only

wary stream
#

You created an algebraic expression, which is a valid answer to that problem

ivory mica
#

Okay

wary stream
#

You are so focused on the words of your teacher saying "answer it with solution", where you keep assuming you need to solve the equation. A solution to a problem doesn't mean you have to solve for a variable

Hey guys, I need help with this PDE

lone heartBOT
empty forge
#

I was able to separate the variables and integrate to find a set of solutions:

#

I am having troubles with the boundaries

#

The examples I found online have boundaries of x = 0, u = 0, x = L, u = 0 but its a little different here. Its messing me up. I could use some help.

#

This is what I got for the first boundary:

#

When trying to compute the secondary boundary, its gets ugly fast.

@reef iris can you delete this?

#

No thats the end

#

It was just taken funny

wary stream
#

Then no, you're not solving for a

#

It's in terms of a still

#

Meaning a will still exist

molten lotus
#

Ohh okay wait let me show you my work

wary stream
#

Basically the question wants you to take the derivative then plug in 3 for x, and simplify

molten lotus

So like that?

modern crescent

I am studying for my test on two units, and am completely lost on four homework questions where I have the answer from practiciing previously but cannot remember how to do them anymore.
Find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0, 2pi)
5. sin2x = 2 sin x (My teacher explained this one to me earlier this month, and showed me how it was 0, pi, but I cannot remember how she showed me)
9. sin 2x - tanx = 0 (even my old work makes no sense to me now)
Review Question on proofs
4. 2cot2x = cotx - tanx (I do not even now where to start, and there is no answer key for me to find some sort of guidance)

long axle
#

lets do number 5

#

so

ocean sealBOT
#

Stephen

long axle
#

how can we change the left side to get rid of that double angle?

#

@modern crescent

modern crescent
#

sorry sorry im kind of slow with math

#

using the double angle identity

long axle
#

no worries

#

yep

modern crescent
#

then i subtract the 2sinx

long axle
#

sure, then what do we have

modern crescent
#

an equation i can factor

long axle
#

whats the equation

strange meadow
long axle
#

what

strange meadow
#

double angle for sin is not since

modern crescent
#

2sinx * cosx - 2sinx

strange meadow
#

Sin x

long axle
#

thats the problem, we're solving on 0,2pi

modern crescent
#

its solving

strange meadow
#

Sorry I’m stupid

modern crescent
#

all good im the one here day before my test struggling for hours on likely simple questions haha

modern crescent
long axle
#

alright nice

#

equals 0

modern crescent
#

can be turned to 2sinx(cosx - 1) = 0, buti dont really know how to put each individual one into a x = form

long axle
#

we can utilize the zero product property

#

do u know what that is?

modern crescent
#

no sorry.. is it anything * 0 = 0 but that seems very unrelated

long axle
#

it is essentially derived from that, but its that:

modern crescent
#

so essentially from this it would be
2 sin x = 0 and cosx = 0?

long axle
#

close

modern crescent
#

cos x -1?

long axle
#

yep

modern crescent
#

ohhh

#

thanks i got it then since its just sin x = 0 cps x = 1 and unit circle

#

sin gets me 0 and pi, and cos gets me 0

long axle
#

yes

#

nice job

modern crescent
#

thank you

long axle
#

i can do the next one with you as well if you like

modern crescent
#

i would really appreciate it it helps

long axle
#

sure

#

ok so we have

ocean sealBOT
#

Stephen

long axle
#

what are ur thoughts on this

modern crescent
#

uhh

#

i honestly have no clue where to start that gets me a good answer...

#

wait actually

#

i can substitiue the sin 2x for 2sinxcosx because of the identity

long axle
#

yep

modern crescent
#

but

#

wait

#

i feel like an idiot this is actually quite simple sorry

long axle
#

no need to apologize

modern crescent
#

i can change the tan to sin/cos and then factor it

#

to sinx(2cosx - 1/cosx) = 0

#

and then use that fancy property from earlier to get sin x = 0, 2 cos x - 1/cosx = 0

#

and then get cosx = +- 1/root 2, root2/2, which gives me a bunch of numbers but I am quite confused from here

#

wait nevermind I get it

#

thanks for your time stephen, have a nice day.

long axle
#

you as well kamkam

modern crescent
#

I am quite new to this help system, and not sure if I am supposed to resend when I still need help for another question, so I apologize if this is wrong to whatever admin checks this.

Question I still need help:
4. 2cot2x = cotx - tanx (I do not even now where to start, and there is no answer key for me to find some sort of guidance)

pine helm
#

maybe turn everything in terms of tan

modern crescent
#

so like
2cosx/2sinx = cosx/sinx - sinx/cosx?

#

wait im stupid

#

2(1/tan2x) = 1/tanx - tanx

#

?

#

i shall just pray that there wont be any questions like this ty for help impractical

Let f(x) = ax^2 + bx +c. where a is [1, +inf). Assume that x1 and x2 are the roots of f and x1 - x2 = 1. We know that the graph of f cuts OY at the point (0,a). Find the formula f in a factorised form

lone heartBOT
#

@frozen viper Has your question been resolved?

pine helm
#

just to be clear..

#

is the a in (0, a) the same as the coefficient

#

in ax^2 + bx + c

frozen viper
#

Yes

pine helm
#

ok so f(0) = a which means c = a so ax^2 + bx + a
a(x^2 + 1) + bx

1 = -sqrt(b^2 - 4a^2)/a (pretty easy to derive this one(hint : quadratic formula))
1 = (b^2 - 4a^2)/a^2
b^2 - 4a^2 = a^2
b^2 = 5a^2
b = sqrt(5)a

a(x^2+1) +sqrt(5) a x

btw is a supposed to be known

well one is base 3 and the other has an unspecified base

depending on context maybe e or 2 or 10

Because most of the time, when no base is defined, then it's automatically assumed as base 10

if anything, log(1000)=3

Can I know what it means if it does not have a base? but has a result provided?

that just means the base is not written down

it still has a base

and from context it is hopefully obvious which one it is

Hello, this isn't exactly homework but it's just that my brain really isn't working right now and I need some help with my average grading ratios haha

So basically I want to achieve higher than 65% average for my course - and I've recieved grades for 57.5% of my course already. These grades average out to 72.1%.

I have two modules left to do, and these both have two assignments. Each module counts for 9.625% of my overall grade.

I also have my dissertation to do, which counts for 23% of my entire grade.

Is it possible to calculate an average grade to achieve on each assignment to hit 65%?

violet surge
#

Wait maybe I'm being stupid here

#

is it impossible to calculate this since the grades are weighted?

how do we solve this by AST

gusty gorge
#

write out a few terms

#

and see that they're alternating

#

and then apply the alternating series test?

lunar lintel
#

out

#

or just take the limit

#

?

gusty gorge
#

did I say "factor the cos out" or did I say "write out a few terms, see if they're alternating, and then apply the alternating series test"?

lunar lintel
#

you factor out the alternating part

#

like (-1)^n

gusty gorge
#

write out the alternating series test

#

state it to the best of your ability

lunar lintel
#

if sequence An is positive and decreasing and lim = 0

#

then converge

gusty gorge
#

no

lunar lintel
#

yes?

gusty gorge
#

no

lunar lintel
#

???

#

thats the AST definition?

gusty gorge
#

no it's not

#

wtf is that

lunar lintel
#

yes it is

small panther
#

Yes that's it

gusty gorge
#

ok argue as much as you want I guess

#

huh?

lunar lintel
gusty gorge
#

alternating series test is if it's alternating and |a_n| -> 0, then the sum converges

#

wtf are you on about

lunar lintel
#

If Sequence An is positive and decreasing and if Lim of An = 0

small panther
#

If An is like that then the sum of (-1)^n * An converge

lunar lintel
#

it converges

gusty gorge
lunar lintel
gusty gorge
#

that's not even a mathematical statement

lunar lintel
#

yes it is?

small panther
gusty gorge
small panther
#

You are just taking the absolute value

gusty gorge
#

I'm aware that you can state it as if you have a positive, decreasing sequence and then alternate it

#

then it converges

small panther
#

That's what we are saying to you

fringe sleet
#

saccharine even if its not exactly a rigorous statement doesnt mean it doesnt cover the ballpart of what it is. i think its reasonably easy to see that they are on the right track there

lunar lintel
gusty gorge
#

then what's the issue? if this person actually can state the definition of it

lunar lintel
#

my prof wrote it

gusty gorge
#

then why isn't it immediately straightforward

gusty gorge
lunar lintel
#

yes it does

gusty gorge
#

no it doesn't

gusty gorge
#

do you want me to do a word-by-word comparison

small panther
gusty gorge
#

If Sequence An is positive and decreasing and if Lim of An = 0
compare to
If the sequence {a_n} is positive decreasing and lim n->infinity a_n = 0, then sum (-1)^n a_n converges

lunar lintel
#

🤣

small panther
#

Yes what he wrote was not really correct but you could see that he knew what he was talking about

lunar lintel
#

bro

fringe sleet
#

i really dont think this is worth arguing about

gusty gorge
#

he writes the words but doesn't understand the meaning

lunar lintel
#

yes i do?

gusty gorge
#

like I've seen this the last 4 times he's asked about the series stuff

lunar lintel
#

This is the first time

#

i asked about AST

#

ever

gusty gorge
#

I'm saying in other contexts, you write the words

#

but skip the meaning

lunar lintel
#

I understand the meaning

gusty gorge
#

then why isn't this immediately a consequence of the alternating series test?

lunar lintel
gusty gorge
#

okay, so?

lunar lintel
#

Ok and you would not involve the (-1)^n+1 when taking the limit

fringe sleet
lunar lintel
#

to determine if it converges

#

so i was asking if you can do the same

gusty gorge
lunar lintel
#

to cos

small panther
#

Here you have to see what's cos(n*pi) @lunar lintel

gusty gorge
#

and then apply the alternating series test

#

it's not that deep

#

you don't even need to know what cos(n * pi) is generally

lunar lintel
#

yea my question was

#

if i take the limit of

#

only

#

1/n^2/6

#

and ignore the cos

lunar lintel
fringe sleet
#

well you gotta know why you can "ignore" the cos, ignore is not really the word i would use but it is in general what you are supposed to be doing

lunar lintel
#

because we dont involve it when we take the limit so i assumed we ignore

fringe sleet
#

get it on the form $(-1)^nb_n$ and take the limit of $b_n$ as $n\to\infty$

ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

fringe sleet
#

ignore sort of implies that you arent working with an alternating series anymore

lunar lintel
#

oh i see

#

we would just get 0

gusty gorge
#

why would you waste a ton of effort renaming the indices to get it to (-1)^n b_n

lunar lintel
#

meaning the Sum converges?

fringe sleet
ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

fringe sleet
#

i dont see the issue with it

gusty gorge
fringe sleet
#

i feel like this cherry picking arguments you are starting are more of a time waster than using this notation

gusty gorge
#

to be fair, the question only asks for an answer C or D

gusty gorge
#

cos (pi n) hits zero on every odd n, does it not?

fringe sleet
#

no

#

its $\pm1$

ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

gusty gorge
#

huh?

#

,w cos (3 * pi)

ocean sealBOT
fringe sleet
#

?

gusty gorge
#

whoops

#

oh

#

I was thinking of sine LOL

fringe sleet
#

sine would always be 0

gusty gorge
#

yeah I was thinking it looked like the increment was pi/2 and it was going to go 0, +1, 0, -1, 0, etc

fringe sleet
#

either way, @lunar lintel do you see why $\cos(n\pi)=(-1)^n$?

ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

lunar lintel
#

yes

#

had 1 question with this as well

fringe sleet
#

ait, so yeah you probably got it from there then

lunar lintel
#

how come this converges btw

#

when i take the limit

#

I get 1/6

fringe sleet
#

!show

lone heartBOT
#

Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.

gusty gorge
#

it's a sqrt n on top of an n

lunar lintel
#

oh wait

#

oops

gusty gorge
#

not a sqrt n on top of a sqrt (n+5)

lunar lintel
#

i see my mistake

#

i divided sqrt n

#

by n

#

should've been n^2

fringe sleet
#

uhh, no?

lunar lintel
#

what

gusty gorge
#

the inside of the square root

fringe sleet
#

ah

#

ok nvm

lunar lintel
#

wait no

#

it would be A_n+1=e^-6

fringe sleet
#

not quite

#

im not even sure how you could have gotten to that

#

maybe im misunderstanding what you wrote

lunar lintel
#

my teacher wrote it in her notes

fringe sleet
#

in what case?

#

you need to give me context here

lunar lintel
fringe sleet
#

this is a geometric series

#

ast is to check for convergence

lunar lintel
fringe sleet
ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

lunar lintel
#

Inf
Summation A_n
n = 1

fringe sleet
#

and what is A_n?

lunar lintel
#

the sequence

fringe sleet
#

which is

lunar lintel
#

An

fringe sleet
#

$A_n=?$

ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

lunar lintel
#

10/10^n

fringe sleet
#

then how does it become negative on every other term?

lunar lintel
#

oh yea

#

oops

#

(10/10^n) * (-1)^n+1

fringe sleet
#

well you are getting close

lunar lintel
#

(-1)^n+1

#

this would be an

fringe sleet
#

no

#

ok first things first

#

we start from n=1

#

it says so in the summation

lunar lintel
#

yea

#

yes

fringe sleet
#

oh wait actually yeah you are right, you can simplify it tho

#

i was thinking wrong

#

you can rewrite $\f{10}{10^n}$ to $\f1{10^{n-1}}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Duh Hello

lunar lintel
#

$\f{(-1)^\f{n+1}*10}{10^n} $
