#

initial velocity

#

Wdym for a point o

#

From a point O?

#

@rotund junco ?

rotund junco
#

yh

alpine sable
#

O meaning ground level ig

rotund junco
#

i had this question in my exam today and i had a heart attack

gilded magnet
#

Isn't √3Vo as a whole initial vel

rotund junco
#

i could only get part 1

alpine sable
#

I'm having a heart attack just reading the equation

rotund junco
#

yeah

#

not only that

#

i had like 15mins left and i read it

alpine sable
#

I'm in alg 1 so this confuses me a lot

rotund junco
#

idk what alg 1

gilded magnet
#

Well it's just integration differential with variable accN

#

but this is from the highest level of school math

what would you do for pt 2?

#

any ideas

#

Ok

rotund junco
#

maybe itll make me see a different perspective

gilded magnet
#

So mg down air resis up?

rotund junco
#

yeah

#

no

#

Do you mean R \ {0} like R without 0?

#

R / {0} makes me think of a quotient space which I don't think is what you mean but I'm not sure

lone heartBOT
#

@hybrid meadow Has your question been resolved?

hybrid meadow
tardy stag
#

what definition do you know for set boundary?

hybrid meadow
#

also not empty set

tardy stag
#

mmk, we need a universal set then (so we can talk about boundary)

tardy stag
#

should have something to do with limit points maybe?

#

what do you think the boundary of this set should be?

hybrid meadow
tardy stag
#

there's like three definitions of boundary so I'm not sure which one you're using

hybrid meadow
tardy stag
#

well, the points in this set are ordered pairs

hybrid meadow
tardy stag
#

yeah that's what I think as well

#

can you prove that every other point is not part of the boundary?

#

like if I gave you (x,y) where x != 0, how can you show that that's not part of the boundary of S

hybrid meadow
#

and all surrounding points are too

tardy stag
#

what do you mean by "all surrounding points are" exactly?

hybrid meadow
#

like this

tardy stag
#

(I'm assuming this is for topology?)

hybrid meadow
tardy stag
#

still, you should have a workable definition of what it means for a point to be in the interior of a set

tardy stag
#

nothing about an open ball around the point being a subset of S?

#

that's how we usually define interior

hybrid meadow
#

but similar to that yeah

tardy stag
#

that works for the real line/plane/space yeah

#

but if you're in topology you'll soon get some cool counterintuitive results :D

hushed wolf
#

sin15, x, cos15 are the first three terms of a geometric sequence that has all positive terms x=?

lone heartBOT
#

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

hushed wolf
#

i tried something like r²sin15=cos15
r²=cot15
r=√cot15
x=sin15√cot15
x=√cos15sin15=√2/2√2sin15cos15
=√2/2*√sin30=√2/2*√2/2=1/2

echo socket
#

It would have been faster if you used the fact that a term of a geometric sequence squared is equal to the product of its neighbouring terms

echo socket
#

So, x^2 = sin(15) * cos(15) in this case

hushed wolf
#

it is the same thing no?

#

yeah it would be faster

hushed wolf
mellow grail
hushed wolf
#

so x=1/2 right?

mellow grail
#

yeah ig

#

2nd one is sin 15/x, first is x/cos 15

#

they are equal

okay thanks

plain nexus
#

If we have an N x N matrix A

lone heartBOT
plain nexus
#

and we want to change it's base

#

we will write it as B^-1 * A * B

#

why is it written like that?

plain flame
#

B is your change of base matrix

#

so suppose B is your change of base matrix from D to E

#

then you would write B_ED

#

and (B_ED)^(-1) = B_DE

plain nexus
#

oh

plain flame
#

so suppose you have a vector in base D

#

What is 3×(-4)+2

lone heartBOT
analog falcon
#

good question

#

what do × and - and + mean?

boreal sigil
#

x is times

#
  • minus
analog falcon
#

yes

boreal sigil
#

or what do u mena

#

my english sucks

analog falcon
#

yeah I mean just that

#

so if you know the operators

#

then can't you find the answer?

boreal sigil
#

i get it to -10

#

but i cant tell if thats correct

analog falcon
#

there is this thing called BODMAS that defines the order of what operators you do first

#

see the last 4 alphabets
they stand for
division | multiplication | addition | subtraction

#

so first you'll calculate 3×(-4)

#

and then add 2 to that

boreal sigil
#

10 right

analog falcon
#

nope

boreal sigil
#

its not -10?

analog falcon
#

it is -10

boreal sigil
#

Ok thanks

#

Really suck at math

analog falcon
#

We've all been there 🙂

boreal sigil
#

#

thanks tho take care

#

Let A and B be two 100×100 real matrices such that A^2 + B^2 + AB = 0. Show that the determinant of AB - BA equals zero

sonic harbor
#

Show work 😄

ivory fern
#

I don't have it, this is a question of an exam I did yesterday and I didn't keep what I tried

#

But I basically just tried to multiply the equation of the hypothesis with A and B and tried to add things

#

Also tried to see if I could do something related to eigenvectors but I had no luck

sonic harbor
#

I've also just done my exams in linear algebra. Did pretty well.

#

I can't see the answer, but we can try to work the problem together? Or I can let the chat go to an expert if any show up

#

$$ A^2 + B^2 + AB = 0$$
Should give us:
$$ (A + B)^2 = 0 $$ right? This should be useful

ocean sealBOT
#

no

marsh fog
#

I'm still here lol and will happily admit I'm pretty much stuck

#

This is a gross question

ivory fern
#

At this point I believe the question might not be correctly written and perhaps there is a counterexample

outer elm
#

u guys solved it?

marsh fog
#

Nope.

outer elm
#

okay lemme try

#

why does it matter that theyre 100x100

#

or real

marsh fog
#

I suspect 100x100 is just to prevent direct computation, although I can't rule out it being relevant entirely. Real doesn't really matter I don't think, could be over C.

outer elm
#

i see

ivory fern
#

But maybe not

outer elm
#

hmmm seems unlikely but perhaps

marsh fog
#

I don't see how you could get that kind of information from this setup.

ivory fern
#

And it might be important that they are real at some point for some reason but maybe not

ivory fern
upbeat hornet
outer elm
#

i rlly hope so lol

#

im losing my mind over this

marsh fog
#

This problem is even more difficult, in my opinion, since the form $A^2 + B^2 -2AB = 0$ is much more workable.

ocean sealBOT
#

kimbo7

marsh fog
#

So it seems possible to me that it was either misremembered or there is a crazy trick.

#

I should add that the method in the olympiad problem sort of gets you close to something meaningful, perhaps contradicting invertibility does work but in a different way, but I've tapped out for now.

lone heartBOT

#

@ivory fern Has your question been resolved?

outer elm
#

im forwarding this question to my uni friends

#

dont fret fellas

flat dawn
#

another way to write it is

if AB = -(A^2+B^2) then det(AB-BA) = 0

may be useful as you have AB on the right side

#

you can show that

A(AB-BA) = A^2*B -ABA = ... = B^2*A - AB^2
#

similary you can show that

(AB-BA)B = BA^2 - AB^2
flat dawn
ivory fern
flat dawn
#

it would imply det(A^2 + B^2) = 0

ivory fern
#

Why?

#

Ah nevermind I see why

ivory fern
flat dawn
#

alternatively would be interesting to show det(AB-BA) >=0 or <=0

worn fox
#

The fact they specifically want you to show det(AB-BA) = 0 leads me to think we shouldn't just be trying to show they commute

#

Otherwise why not just ask to show AB = BA

worn fox
#

My only other thoughts are somehow showing AB - BA has 0 as an eigenvalue

worn fox
#

Maybe with some char/min poly shenanigans but nothing looked nice when I tried

flat dawn
#

anything interesting that can be said about A^2 + B^2?

#

honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the statement is false either

ivory fern
flat dawn
#

@ivory fern if you don't mind, ping me when you have the solution as I'm curious myself

ivory fern
lone heartBOT
#

@ivory fern Has your question been resolved?

lone heartBOT
#

@ivory fern Has your question been resolved?

ivory fern
worn fox
#

how did you do that

#

@ivory fern

ivory fern
vapid shuttle
ivory fern
#

I just substituted -AB with A² + B², which is the first line

vapid shuttle
#

got it didn't realize that

alpine sable
#

usually for these kinds of problems i like to pretend that the matrices are all like, real numbers, or indeterminates, or whatever. so i would factor A^2 + B^2 + AB to get (A - zB)(A - (1/z)B) for z = -1/2 + i sqrt(3)/2

#

so looking at those factors might be helpful

#

(obviously this doesn't apply word for word. A^2 + B^2 + AB isn't actually that. but hey)

#

like my favorite example of how i think about matrix problems is the following classic

#

if A is nilpotent then I - A is invertible

#

well okay so like, you want basically 1/(1 - x) with A in place of x

#

we know that that's equal to 1 + x + x^2 + ...

#

if A is put in for x then nilpotency kills all but finitely many terms. so this works

#

i try to throw this at literally everything

brisk thunder
#

there is indeed a relevant mse

#

should i just post it here

alpine sable
#

maybe mark spoilers catGiggle

brisk thunder
#

it has to do with 3 not dividing into 100 (!)

alpine sable
#

unsurprising

brisk thunder
naive valley
mossy lion
alpine sable
#

this feels more like a contest kinda problem than a class kinda problem

#

the observation you need to make to solve it isn't really linear algebra

lone heartBOT
#

@ivory fern Has your question been resolved?

ivory fern
#

But ||we have to use a sixth root of unity instead||

ivory fern
#

However this problem was dramatically harder than the other three

flat dawn
#

@ivory fern reading on the solution I see they somehow use 1+w^2 = -w ?

#

ah okay that's true bc
1+w+w^2 = w(1+w+w^2)
and w!=0,1

ivory fern
#

Yes

#

Anyway that is not needed in the case of our problem

#

Because the proof changes at that point

flat dawn
#

= w(BA-AB) thanks to the above

ivory fern
# flat dawn

But instead of (A+ωB)(A+ω²B) we use (A+ωB)(A+ω⁵B)

#

With ω a sixth root of unity

flat dawn
ivory fern
#

No, because in our problem we have a slightly different hypothesis

flat dawn
#
Suppose A and B are real n×n matrices with A^2+B^2=AB. If AB−BA is invertible, prove n is a multiple of 3.

and since n is not multiple of 3, it implies that AB-BA is not invertible, that is det(AB-BA)= 0

ivory fern
#

We have A^2+B^2+AB=0

flat dawn
#

ah right

flat dawn
#

I bet it arises through some more heavy math I'm not familiar with

ivory fern
#

Or maybe there is a more elementary solution

flat dawn
#

why do they bring in w^n in the solution?

#

" det(A+ωB)det(A+ωB) is a real number, that is, ω^n * det(BA−AB) is a real number"

ivory fern
#

Because det(kA) = k^n det A

flat dawn
#

ohhh right

flat dawn
ivory fern
flat dawn
ivory fern
ivory fern
#

Just the most basic things that are studied at the university

flat dawn
ivory fern
#

I think there might be an easier solution using A^3 = B^3 and something like Jordan normal form. Or maybe not easier but at least easier to come up with

marsh fog
#

I feel completely vindicated reading this.

#

Beat myself up for like 2 hrs not being able to do this yesterday lol.

#

Scroll up.

compare those two expressions

#

and find an x

What do those 2 expressions even mean

tacit arch
strong summit
#

Yeah ik but like how are they related to each other at all

tacit arch
#

1.03 * 1.03 * ... * 1.03 = 1.03 ^ 12

#

the first one is (1+3x) times itself 12 times

#

(1+3x) * (1+3x) * ... * (1+3x) = (1+3x) ^ 12

tacit arch
strong summit
#

Taylor expansions?

tacit arch
#

oops, binomial

strong summit
tacit arch
tacit arch
# tacit arch

instead of multiplying by itself 12 times, you can just add a few terms

strong summit
#

Am so lost man😭

tacit arch

to get an approximation

#

if you didn't learn taylor expansions, you don't need to learn it now

  • An 11x16 picture is to be framed. Find the width of the border if the area of the border is equal to the area of the frame. Include a diagram *
alpine sable
#

how do you define border and frame

#

I would have said that the inside = area of frame

#

but idk

outer steppe
alpine sable
#

so are you saying that the border is the same thing as the frame?

outer steppe
#

like this?

outer steppe
#

And the frame's area is thr total area?

alpine sable
#

if those two things had the same area, then the inside picture part has area 0

#

so I dont think that interpretation is correct

it might be better to ask your teacher for clarification

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently working on a problem and could really use your help in finding a solution. Here's the equation I'm trying to solve:

1380: A fuel mixture for a certain engine should contain 19 parts gasoline and 1 part oil. Lena needs 25 liters of fuel. She has pure gasoline and a gasoline-oil mixture containing 85% gasoline. How should she proceed?

To tackle this problem, I've come up with a plan. Let's assume Lena uses x liters of the gasoline-oil mixture. In practice, this means she would use 0.85x liters of gasoline and 0.15x liters of oil. Now, Lena needs to mix in y liters of pure gasoline to achieve the right proportions.

By doing so, she will have:

  • Used x + y liters of the liquid.
  • Used 0.85x + y liters of gasoline and 0.15x liters of oil.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to proceed from here. Any insights, suggestions, or explanations would be extremely helpful. Thank you all in advance for your assistance!

Good solving.
You just have to imput the numbers to get the system of equations.
x+y = (total fuel)
0.85x+y = (total gasoline)
0.15x = (total oil)

#

Well, there is also the fuel solution ratio that you can write an equation of.

lone heartBOT
#

@primal galleon Has your question been resolved?

primal galleon
#

@proud fjord x + y = 25 (total fuel needed is 25 liters)
0.85x + y = (total gasoline in the mixture)
0.15x = (total oil in the mixture)
Additionally, we can express the fuel solution ratio equation:

x : y = 19 : 1 (fuel solution ratio of 19 parts gasoline to 1 part oil)

#

Like that?

proud fjord
#

The fuel ration does not look right. x and y is the liters of mixed and pure gasoline respectively.

primal galleon
#

You're right, x represents the liters of the gasoline-oil mixture, and y represents the liters of pure gasoline. Let's correct the fuel solution ratio equation:

(0.85x + y) : y = 19 : 1 (ratio of total gasoline in the mixture to pure gasoline)

proud fjord
#

Yep, now if you write the ratio as fractions youll have 2 equations and 2 variables, making it a solvable system

#

ratio equation and totals equation

primal galleon
#

Ratio Equation:
(0.85x + y) / y = 19/1

Totals Equation:
x + y = 25

#

,w (0.85x + y) / y = 19/1; x+y = 25

primal galleon
#

@proud fjord

proud fjord
#

oops, there is a mistake on the ratio equation

#

A fuel mixture for a certain engine should contain 19 parts gasoline and 1 part oil

primal galleon
#

Ratio Equation:
(0.85x + y) / x = 19/1

Totals Equation:
x + y = 25

#

So like this instead?

#

,w (0.85x + y) / x = 19/1;
x + y = 25

proud fjord
#

well, x is the ammount of mixed fuel, not the total oil

#

and the question asks for 19 pure gasoline to 1 pure oil[

primal galleon
#

Ratio Equation:
y / (0.15x) = 19/1

Totals Equation:
x + y = 25

#

,w
y / (0.15x) = 19/1;
x + y = 25

primal galleon
#

@proud fjord

proud fjord
#

Still, you have to consider that there is gasoline in the mixed fuel too

#

Refer to the equations of total gasoline and total oil you wrote previously

primal galleon
#

Total Gasoline Equation:
0.85x + y = (total gasoline)

Total Oil Equation:
0.15x = (total oil)

#

Would this be more accurate?

proud fjord
#

Yes, so you have the equations. The question says that total gasoline to total oil is 19 to 1

primal galleon
#

Total Gasoline Equation:
0.85x + y = 19/20 * (x + y)

Total Oil Equation:
0.15x = 1/20 * (x + y)

proud fjord
#

Yes, that also works

#

Or the correct writing of the rations.
(total gas) : (total oil) = 0.85x + y : 0.15x = 19 : 1

primal galleon
#

,w 0.85x + y = 19/20 * (x + y); 0.15x = 1/20 * (x + y)

primal galleon
#

@proud fjord

proud fjord
#

In the system you just wrote you can sub (x+y) for 25liters to get a numerical answer

#

The solution you got here is y~~2x

#

So to get 19 to 1 proportion you put:
2x to 1y
2mixed to 1nonmixed

#

,w 0.85x + y = 19/20 * (25); 0.15x = 1/20 * (25)

proud fjord
#

and here is the numerical value for 25 liters

primal galleon
#

I see, thanks for the help

wraith glade

Alright so, I've got a trig problem, I

lone heartBOT
wraith glade
#

hit enter too early

#

retyping

#

Alright so, I've got a trig problem, I don't know which formula to use/how to solve it, but I have the word problem:

Angular and Linear Speeds
The circular blade on a saw rotates at 5000 revolutions per minute.

(a) Find the angular speed of the blade in radians per minute.

(b) The blade has a diameter of 7 1/4 inches. Find the linear speed of a blade tip.

For A, I was trying to use the angular speed formula (w = (theta/time) ) but I realised I have no idea what to do with the formula after plugging it in. For B, I'm not totally sure how to proceed yet.

fierce prairie
wraith glade
#

like question for me or question about the problem?

#

If for me: 2pi

fierce prairie
#

for you

#

yep

wraith glade
#

so i should plug that into the numerator and put 60 in the denominator right?

#

or am i on the wrong track

fierce prairie
#

so we have 5000 rev / min and if 2pi radians are one revolution, multiply by 2pi radians / 1 revolution

wraith glade
#

not sure

#

for time I believe?

fierce prairie
#

we aren’t worried abt changing the time

wraith glade
#

like 60 seconds

#

oooh okay

fierce prairie
#

they want to keep it in minutes

wraith glade
#

so the answer is just flat out 2pi per minute?

fierce prairie
#

uh no

wraith glade
#

2pi / 5000?

#

actually, I should probably ask what kind of answer I would get from doing this equation

fierce prairie
#

$\frac{5000 revolutions}{minute}\cdot \frac{2\pi radians}{1 revolution}$

ocean sealBOT
fierce prairie
#

this may help to see it

#

sorry for no spaces lol

#

but essentially we are “cancelling out” the revolutions unit to end up with radians / minute

wraith glade
#

okay that makes more sense but how does it become 2 fractions instead of one, my notes from the class today only show up with having one fraction somehow

fierce prairie
#

well yeah I didn’t solve it

#

I’m multiplying those fractions

#

that’s what the dot is

wraith glade
#

;-;

#

okay so

fierce prairie
#

this is barely even fractions tho

#

the denominators are 1

wraith glade
#

i just multiply those and thats that

fierce prairie
#

just multiply 5000 to 2pi

#

yea

wraith glade
#

damn thats easy

fierce prairie
#

yeah haha I just like to use these sort of fractions as it makes it easier when converting many units

wraith glade
#

so from doing the multiplication I got 31415.9265, this doesn't feel like the final answer

#

is it the final answer?

#

oh it is

#

okay im still stumped with B

#

wait one sec

#

i think ive had a break through

fierce prairie
#

so linear speed is just angular speed times radius

night barn
#

I need help

wraith glade
#

wrong channel?

#

bro its the diameter

#

i was plugging diameter instead of radius

#

alrighty

thank you kind math man

alpine sable
#

given this

#

i get this

#

i dont understand why last det is A_n

vocal quiver
#

Expand by the first column

alpine sable
#

the last det is triangular, meaning its det is the the diagonal

vocal quiver
#

Doesn't look triangular to me

alpine sable
#

?

vocal quiver
#

You have the extra 1 above the diagonal

alpine sable
#

oh

#

it isnt

#

but not on the first terms

#

just on some

#

anyway, how is that the same as A_n?

vale crag
#

tbf their latexing sucks a lot, they're missing 1's all over the place

alpine sable
#

yeah i just noticed

vale crag
#

but yeah it's expanding on the first col again

#

your matrix in green should be this

#

(empty cells being 0s)

#

if you expand on the first col

alpine sable
#

it would be like this, right?

#

diagonal 1+a

#

top of 1 and under a

vale crag
#

you're talking about which matrix ?

#

the one you circled in green on your pic ?

alpine sable
#

i was talking about the original one

#

so okey, i see the first det is A_n-1

vale crag
#

yeah so we have the same thing ok

alpine sable
#

Or A_n+1, i dont care

#

but the second one

vale crag
#

now expand on first column again for the second

alpine sable
#

if i expand by it first row

#

column?

#

why not row?

vale crag
#

I mean you can it's faster lol

#

well yeah you straight up get 1*(det for n-2) then

alpine sable
#

yes

vale crag
#

well then we won

alpine sable
vale crag
#

wdym

#

it's exactly what they have

alpine sable
#

and there they have (1+a)det(A_n-1)) - a det (A_n)

#

oh true

#

i have the same

#

i just forgot they were starting at A_n+2

#

so my n-2 is their n

#

I keep getting1792pi/15 as my answer when it should be 2048pi/15

#

My denominator is right but my numerator is wrong

#

which means that I t hink my limits/boundaries are wrong

#

or interval sorry

#

What is the actual question?

#

Are you finding an area between the curves?

winter seal
#

I'm finding the volume

Useful to post that in future!

#

Sorry!!!

marsh fog
#

(4x)^2=16x^4 no?

#

Sorry

#

x^2

#

Not x^4

winter seal
#

wait a minute

marsh fog
#

Line 2 of your computation of the integral

#

Think you just forgot to square the 4

winter seal
#

wait

#

we square the 4 too??

marsh fog
#

(4x)^2 means everything in that bracket squared

winter seal
#

wait omg is that constant not a function ofo that x???

tardy stag
#

why are we integrating from -4 to 0? the intersection points are at x=0,4 right?

winter seal
#

So

#

my mistake was instead of setting the two equatiosn EQUAL to each other, I just added them together and made it equal 0

#

which is not how things go

tardy stag
#

yeah that's not quite it haha

winter seal
#

2nd mistake was that I forgot to square the 4

#

Okay I'm gonna erase eveyrthing and try again

#

It would be subtracting one from the other that achieves what you want

wait is this from the stewarts textbook lol

This is frommm

#

It's Calculus Early Transcendentals

#

11th edition

visual girder
#

ohh

winter seal
#

yeeh

visual girder
#

also for the problem

#

i would suggest graphing it on desmos

#

and then seeing if disk or washer would fit it

#

and then plugging in the values

visual girder
winter seal
#

but wouldn't u determine that by seeing which axis its rotating by?

winter seal
#

for example x would be discs

#

y would be washers

#

thats what I was taught

visual girder
#

hmm from what ive been taught

#

idk how to explain this lol

#

uhh lemme try graphing it and seeing waht we use

winter seal
#

oke

visual girder
#

oke i graphed it

#

the blue shaded region is wat we are reflecting across the x axis

#

alright for this one i believe we use a disk

thorn tapir
#

Oh is this about rotation along the marked axis?

visual girder
thorn tapir
#

Yee gotchu

visual girder
#

so it forms kinda like a cone pointing to the right i believe

#

i think we use dy? correct me if im wrong

thorn tapir
#

Either pointy or smooth one of those

visual girder
#

mhm but i dont think it would matter too much

#

not sure what a is for the integral but** b** is 1.099

thorn tapir
#

Nah I think this is fine

#

I mean dx

visual girder
#

oh yeah cuz we will be sliding the disk from left to right

#

so change in x meaning we use dx

thorn tapir
#

See, the solid is made up of infinitesimal disks, if you recall how you integrate sphere's volume thing

#

You just keep imagining radius that changes with respect to x, then the formula makes sense

visual girder
#

radius would be e^x i believe

thorn tapir
#

Wait is your y, e^x?

#

Then I think there is no problem in using -infty for a

#

It really does go until that after all

visual girder
thorn tapir
#

This improper integral should exist

visual girder

this volume problem doesnt seem like it has a nice solution lol

What I mean is, you plug in L like your normally solve

And then find the limit when L goes to negative infinity

#

Like you do for infinite limits, I think that should be covered in calc 1

hmm

#

kinda makes sense

#

i guess

If you want to know more, you can read about Improper Integrals

Combinations

#

Are you fimiliar with the nCr button on calculator?

hollow oyster
raven dagger
#

So basically in combinations
The top number tells you the total number of things you have
And the bottom number tells you how many things you must chose .
Then the answer to that gives how many possible sets of things you could choose

hollow oyster

Yes

#

It tells you the number of ways you can do that

how to start

#

probably look for a trig sub? I think?

mellow grail
#

Some form of u sub? Also a^2 is a constant since we r integrating with respect to x

How do you do this

#

Simultaneous equations?

nimble fern
#

,rotate

ocean sealBOT
nimble fern
#

which one is A?

dull lance
#

The lil one

nimble fern
#

no clue

dull lance
#

I have no idea is well

raven dagger
#

Querter of the area of a circle with area x = pi x² /4 = 2Pi x

#

X = 0 is a solution or

x/4 = 2
X = 8 ?
Are you sure its the little one ?

dull lance
#

Not sure

#

I thought itw as the lil one

raven dagger
#

Ok now assuming its the larger one

#

Pi (x+1)² /4 = 2pi X

#

X² + 2x + 1 = 8x
X² -6x +1 = 0

1/6 isn't a solution tho

#

Maybe its the narrow strip

dull lance
#

Hmmmm

raven dagger
#

Pi [(x+1)² - x²] / 4 = 2pi X

#

2x + 1 = 8x

#

Yes this gives 1/6

#

A is the small strip between the 2 arcs

dull lance
#

Wowwwwwww

#

SHIIIIIIIIIIIII

#

OKAY

#

ALRALR

#

THANKS 2 3 5 7

#

🐐

#

How did you form the equation though

regal shore
#

What will be the HCF and LCM of 0 and 2

lone heartBOT
regal shore
#

HCF is same as GCD

vale wigeon
#

do you know in general what gcd(0,x) and lcm(0,x) are

lone heartBOT
#

@regal shore Has your question been resolved?

vale wigeon
#

right

#

yeah so these present a nuance in the definitions of gcd and lcm that basically only comes up when 0 is involved

#

tho i guess for lcm specifically its a bit easier

#

since the only multiple of 0 is 0 itself

#

so theres not much else that lcm(0, x) could be

regal shore
#

0

#

yea thnx i get that

#

cuz x*0 is also 0

#

and what abt HCF?

Company A has a turnover of 1.5m, and costs of 1.5m.
Company B has a turnover of 0.5m, and costs of 0.1m.

Company A provides goods to Company B, so that the cost of these goods increases Company A's turnover, and Company B's costs.

What would Company A charge Company B for these goods so that both companies have the same percentage profit?

@alpine sable 👋

alpine sable
#

Yes

#

Smh I can't seem to find an exact value wait

#

Ah amazing man, thank you

alpine sable
#

Ookay

#

Do you want the steps?

white spear
#

Yeah please

#

% profit for compA after the transaction

#

$$
Profit%_{A} = \frac{T_A' - C_A}{T_A'} \times 100% = \frac{(T_A + x) - C_A}{T_A + x} \times 100%
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

and for compB its

$$
Profit%_{B} = \frac{T_B' - C_B'}{T_B'} \times 100% = \frac{T_B - (C_B + x)}{T_B} \times 100%
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

since new cost ( C_B' ) is ( C_B + x ) and the turnover ( T_B' ) remains the same as ( T_B )

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

and we want the two profits to be equal

#

so we gotta solve for x

#

$$
\frac{(T_A + x) - C_A}{T_A + x} = \frac{T_B - (C_B + x)}{T_B}
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

for the calculation

#

let me just scan my tablet i didnt write this on ltx

#

oh nvm i can transfer

#

$$
\frac{(T_A + x) - C_A}{T_A + x} = \frac{T_B - (C_B + x)}{T_B}
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

wait no

#

ah yes

#

$$
\frac{(1.5m + x) - 1.5m}{1.5m + x} = \frac{0.5m - (0.1m + x)}{0.5m}
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

simplifying you get

#

$$
\frac{x}{1.5m + x} = \frac{0.4m - x}{0.5m}
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

to clear the fraction by cross multiplying you get

#

$$
x \times 0.5m = (0.4m - x) \times (1.5m + x)
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

and from here you want to expand the right side of the eq

#

$$
0.5m \times x = 0.4m \times 1.5m + 0.4m \times x - x^2 - 1.5m \times x
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

simplify again

#

$$
0.5m \times x = 0.6m^2 - 0.6m \times x
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

rearranging you get

#

$$
1.1m \times x = 0.6m^2
$$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

$$
x = \frac{0.6m^2}{1.1m = ?

$$
