yes
SWF ;)
because you have 4 roots
yeah, that's my problem- expanding the brackets leaves me with $(0-4i^2)$, right?
WayneTundra
eh
rather, the first difference of squares
it shouldn't
sorry, i'm misunderstanding then. x-2i: the x component is zero?
(x-2i)(x+2i)=(0x-2i)(0x+2i)?
The polynomial should be $$x^4 -4x^3 +9x^2 -16x +20$$
SWF ;)
huh. thanks for the help, it's very much appreciated.
is the minus in $x-(2\pm{i})$personal preference?

hi, i have a problem in understanding tangents and normals using derivatives i dont understand how to proceed, i understand its basics to some extent but i get stuck really easily,i dont know if these kind of questions are entertained but any kind of suggestion would help
Austiin
ax is a product of continous functions
a^2+x^2 is a sum of continous functions
their quotient is continous unless the denominator equals 0
so that is
$a^2+x^2=0 \implies a=x=0$
Austiin
So really we only need to show continuity at (0,0)
elsewhere it is garuanteed by our theorems for sum/product/quotient of continous functions
so we consider
$\lim_{(x,a)\to (0,0)} \frac{ax}{a^2+x^2}$
Austiin
Austiin
since a is a constant, not a variable
if it approaches 0 it must be 0
so this limit is just 0
now we have to compare this to our function evaluated at (x,0)
$f(x,0)=\frac{0}{x^2}=0$
Austiin
so our f(x,a) is continous at (0,0) so it is continous everywhere
and the exact same work for f(a,y)
is that good enough?
lemme just rejig your argument a little
if a = 0, f(x,a) is the zero function to everything is fine nothing to do there
same for f(a,y)
for a non zero, its just $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{ax}{a^2+x^2}$
ΣΑCu
you dont have to worry about two variable limits here
which is 0/a^2=0
yep
it was just this part that was a bit iffy and not needed
@vapid shuttle
what are the points of these limits
oh wait youre actually austin
if we do not compare them to the function at that point
Only solvable questions are to be posted here, or these kind of questions are okay too?
@vapid shuttle
well you can and should
these are fine but this channel is occupied. Open an available one and see #❓how-to-get-help for guides
I read it
but atleast for f the limit is easy bc theres no indeterminant form to finding the limit does just amount to plugging the limit point in
no you didnt
lol help-0 moment
you're interrupting my channel @quartz trout I have posted my question in here, that is why you need to go to an available help channel instead of this one
yes so what is the point of taking the limits?
Oh sorry I just realise u put ur question right before me I didn't know that would instantly make a new channel sorry
if you just found the value at x=0 then you haven't checked the limit, it just happens in this case that the limit is easy and amounts to the same procedure
Okay can we restart a little here
I'm getting a bit confused
we have this
we have immediately that it is cont. everywhere except possibly (0,0)
that is all we need to show
not (0,0)
what do you say is the procedure
these are functions of one variable now
a is arbitary but fixed
yes
okay
so
f(x)=(ax)/(a^2+x^2)
we wish to show is continous everywhere
the only case where it might not be, is a=0 and x=0
so now our procedure?
compare limit x->0 to f(0) ?
but f(0) is undefined if a=0
so I am stuck
what about x=0
the function is the zero function the second you decided a was 0
think about the family of functions a/x
if i pick the function where a=0, thats just the zero function
unless x=0
is what I would think
because isn't that saying
0/x = 0
for all x
but what about x=0
it is undefined
@fallen verge
What have you done now
i divided by 0
Oh god we're doing stuff with poles
poles?
yeah i think you're right im being dumb
What
no time for games
You know i dont understand mv, why did you call me here
So what are you trying to prove
f(x,a) continous for all x
let $a\in \mathbb{R}$ and $$f(x)=\frac{ax}{x^2+a^2}$$ we need to show $f(x)$ is continous
Austiin
my issue (or perhaps confusion) was that proving this limit is equal to f(0,0) would imply continuity of f(x,y) at (0,0) as you've just changed the name of y
no it wouldn't
because I just set a=0
you can't just set y=0
y can range
the paths
remember the curves
Have you considered the fact that it doesnt not necessarily approach 0?
you were letting a go to 0 in that latex
the fact that it does not not necessarily approach 0
I meant one not
I was considering f(x,a) but a is a constant, so this limit is just the same as x->0 and letting a=0
not letting a->0
Should approach 1/2 if you approach it when a=x
if you approach it on any line a=cx, you get the limit=c/(1+c^2)
uh
So the limit does not exist
this is 0/a^2=0 (unless a=0)
idk maybe just cry then
😭
lim y->a f(x,y) is not always equal to f(x,a)
you too
the issue here isn't the limit right, its what the value at x=0 is
I think that its not always the case that $$\lim_{(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)} f(x,y)= \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \lim_{y \rightarrow 0} f(x,y)$$
GarlicBredFr
holy crap holy crap holy crap im an idiot im an idiot im an idio
austiin
this question is so stupid
Because balls
what have you done
fuck SAKE
f(x,y) as in example blah
but then gives f(x,y) anyways
but
in example blah
h(0,0)=0
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
🔋
would be a tiny battery
ok
so literally all we care about are those limits then
f(x,0)= 0 unless x=0, but in this case it is f(0,0) which is defined to equal 0
so now we just need to care about the lim x->0 of f(x,0)
which is 0
ty lhopitalsrule
so in the case where a=0, the function is zero literally everywhere but x=0, you could just do epsilon shite
no at x=0 it is the case of evaluating f(0,0) which is defined to be 0 in the example
Im still confused
im talkin about the limit
Austin i want my i back
ok
Lmao what
he missed the l on like
Oh well, i guess we'll get back to it at some point
Should i coose?
@vapid shuttle welcome back
I'm back
watch those fingers
oopsie
okay
@worn fox
may I present to you
hopefully
something good
$f(x,a)=\frac{ax}{a^2+x^2}$
the alt j song?
Austin
tontinous everywher except a=x=0 immediately from composition/product/sum of continous functions theorems
Thanks for the i
so now we consider
let a=0
and take lim x->0
this is
$\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{0}{x^2}=0$
Austin
and if we are considering the case of a=x=0
this is defined in our function the same as f(0,0)
which we defined to be 0
You can use epsdel here right
so we get the limit equal to the value
and it is continous there
please tell me that is good ???
yeah but you have considered the limit in the case a =0
I just did!!!>!??!?!?!?!?
i think your woes about dividing by 0 were valid
dear god
where is the division by 0 happening now
the f(0,0) is defined by the function
so no worries there
the limit comes from lhopital
I should be fine?
oh youre lhopitaling fine
honestly im just scared of you after the automute
whatever you say

wait a minute...
what if I was onto something big
and that is why the mods muted me
to stop me from my realization
We want your fields medal
the mods wanted my fields medal
can we do eps delta instead
I feel bad now
you made me feel bad
its half 1 AM i do not have the brain capacity for eps del lol
i think what you did was fine and im just slow
how can we do eps delta for x=a if f(a) is undefined
wait wtf am I doing
no don't say anything
don't
mods mute him
you should have 0 < |x-0| < del implies |f(x,0) - f(0,0)| < eps
or that
honestly this probs sucks
$|x|<\delta \implies |f(x)|<\varepsilon$
Austin
0 < |x|
its important
Austin
yeye
so literally just choose any delta

is it true that if you get (nonzero)/0 when doing direct substitution into a limit, that the limit is one of the infinities?
what do you mean?
like lets say you have $\lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$
Jash
and you know f(c) does not equal 0
and g(c)=0
will the limit have to be either plus or minus infinity?
Are you also implying that the limit at c of g is 0?
yea but like just when you do direct substitution
you can only do that if the function is continuous
im trying to see if this statement is always true: If $\lim_{x\to 0}{\frac{f(x)}{x}}=1$, then $f(0)=0$
Jash
is it true that If $\lim_{x\to 0}{\frac{f(x)}{x}}=1$, then $\lim_{x\to 0}{f(x)}=0$
Jash
You could have f(x) = 0 for all x not equal to 0, f(x) = 1 for x = 0
Hmm
Pretty sure yeah
but when you do direct substitution and get like 2/0 or something doesnt that mean its an asymptote
Assuming the direct substitution was valid I believe so yeah
Oh
I think instead of an asymptote it could also be DNE
not sure actually
I'm probably not the person who should be helping you rn
is lim as x->c of f(x)/g(x) always the same of lim of f / lim of g
even if the limit dne
I recall there being some condition for that, lemme check
which limit dne
The condition is that the limit of g(x) is not equal to 0
orignal f/g
I don't think so. For example, that a question you just solved before this.
side question does $\lim_{x\to 0}{\sin{\frac{\pi}{x}}}$ exist
Jash
No
how do you know
is it cuz its not 0/0
since sin is continuous can you like bring the sin out of the limit
Because argument is either positive infinity or negative infinity and sine is an oscillatory function.
and just evaluate limit of pi/x
then take sin of this
So that's sin of undef
oh yea lim of pi/x doesnt exist on both sides of 0
no, it wiggles more and more as it approaches the origin
infinitely many times
oh so dne
not when both sides don’t exist
I don't think that even that suffices. Maybe, i'm missing something.
could someone help with geometry?
Where individual limits don't exist but f/g does.
or is this not for geometry
i just dont get why this is not always true
I think it also specified it being the limit approaching a real number
cuz lets assume that f(0)=0, then u would have 0/0 implying to use lhopitals rule which then the limit exists
No
oh is it cuz 0/0 doesnt necessarily imply the limit exists
F(0) is not the same as the limit approaching 0
not this channel, take an empty help channel like #help-13
No, but being 0/0, they can apply l'hopital. Right?
yea
ye ty :)
#❓how-to-get-help describes some things you should know
but i dont think that necessarily means the limit will exist at the end
Yes. So, what does that give you?
But the limit might not be 0/0 just cause f(0) = 0
so its not never true
It is stated nowhere that f is continuous
Of course not. That'll depend on f'(x).
I gtg
Oh. Yes. Good point.
chatgpt said consider f(x)=x+1 and evaluate lim as x to 0 of f(x)/x
the limit is 1
but f(0)=1
wait this limit dne tho lol
Lol. Same thought.
so like back to basics for a limit to exist that means that the left hand limit equals the right hand limit
Yes
im trying to think of counterexamples
Well, tag me if you come up with something.
you always have to check for yourself if it is right
it isnt lol cuz that limit dne
how about like f(x)=(x^2+x)/x
wait nvm

assuming F(x) is the anti derivative
?
so that means F'(x)=f(x)
so whats your issue
just a property of derivatives
f'(x)=0 for certain x values where f(x) has extrema
not really backwards
When the function hits a minimum, the slope is 0 there. You can see that as a root of the derivative

It is known that a conic section is the geometric locus of points in a plane α for which the ratio between the distances to a fixed point F (focus) and a fixed line d (directrix) is equal to a non-negative constant e (eccentricity of the conic). This concept extends to the definitions of ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola, with the first two being constructed from a pair of perpendicular directrices to the support of the major axis (or real axis in the case of the hyperbola, 2a units of length), located at a distance of a/e units from the center of the curve, where "e" is the eccentricity. In this sense, how is it possible to deduce that the eccentricity of both an ellipse and a hyperbola is necessarily c/a, where c is the focal distance and a half of its major/real axis length, from its definition?
I don't know where to begin

Is it possible to find the area bounded by the lines y = x+3 and y = 6-2x without looking at the graphs with integration?
from where to where?
"and the x-axis"
Yes
set the equations equal to each other and solve
that'll give left bound and I think right bound will be obvious
looking at the graphs helps intuition
do i add both equations up when integrating
yep the graph gives a triangle
tbh if i were doing this integral I'd probably do a very rough sketch first
wait what if
i find the intersection point
of the two lines
and then integrate from left bound to that point, then that point to right bound
thats what I said by splitting it up into two integrals
i would too but i dont have a graphing calculator yet
yeah i mean by hand
you don't need a graphing calculator to sketch two linear lines
the lines are affine
The equations are for straight lines, you dont need to integrate
yeah that works
what is affine
linear means f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y)
But it can be done by integration
Ignore this, it isn’t relevant to the question
for your purposes this is right

If we have an infinite double cone and a plane, how do we know the cross section is a parabola or hyperbola?
We can easily see if the cross section is an ellipse, but a parabola and hyperbola share the same features in the scenario of an infinite double cone
By comparing two angles
Which?
if you tilt it hard enough it's a hyperbola 
hyperbolas have two branches so you can figure it out that way
Is the big X the double cone?
Yes, a slice of it
Is there a name for this fact so I can look into it?
Can’t help with that. I only started reading math in English since undergraduate level.
So I don’t know what it’s called in English. And I don’t even remember this has a name.

Just look for "geometric visualization of conic sections" or something like that

How would I differentiate this?
$$-6xe^{-2x}$$
Lex1729
product rule
product rule + chain rule
so is u and v both negative?
for example is it u = -6x and v = e^-2x
or u = -6x and v = -e^-2x
pick one to be negative
so far yes
hold on I'll send the full question
Here is my working
Just not sure where I messed up haha
Shouldn't this be -12e^-2x?
no i meant the first part, it should be -12e^-2x + 12xe^-2x
New to differential equations, so I might be pointing at the wrong thing.
yeah
but the original gradient function is -6xe^-2x -e^-2x
we would need to use the product rule to find the second derivative of that
Sorry I don't think I qualify helping you with this since I am literally new to these concepts
yes
then it is wrong
Oh I see now
it should be -6xe^2x - e^-2x
if you take out the e^-2x, you should get e^-2x (-2(3x+2)+3)
simplified to e^-2x(-6x-1)
Thanks for pointing that out I'll redo the problem again from the start

You can order numbers of this form like this:
(a,b,c): a>=b>=c
(a,b,c)<(a’,b’,c’) iff a<a’, or a=a’, b<b’, or a=a’,b=b’, c<c’
So there are (a+1)(a+2)/2 many of them of the form (a, - , -)
oh ya got it i didnt count all cases
Don’t close it yet
yea,so basically like the numbers wherw a = 0,b = 0 and c=1 and their permutations,they will be counted as a single integer
right?
and they are asking for 101st smallest integer
Yeah. Next calculate maximum $m$ such that $\sum_{a=0}^{m}\frac{(a+1)(a+2)}{2} \leq 99$, so $\frac{m^{3}}{6}+m^{2}+\frac{11m}{6}+1 \leq 99$
Cogwheels of the mind
m=6
So the 86 th minimal number is (7,0,0)
There are b+1 many numbers of the form (7, b, -)
Similar method or direct calculation
The 101 th minimal number is
(7,5,0)
=2431
Then
Done, 17 indeed
Here I mean find maximum k such that Σ(b+1): 0<=b<=k =(k^2)/2+(3k/2)+1<=15, k=4 so the 101th number is (7,5,0)
could u explain this part once again
b+1 many of the form (a,b,-) right?
From (a,b,0) to (a,b,b)
So how many numbers are of the form (a, -, -)? Sum of numbers of numbers of the form (a, b, -): b from 0 to a, so Σ(b+1): b from 0 to a
(a+1)(a+2)/2 many
BTW, at the beginning, I define order in that form because a<a’, we can have (a,b,c)<(a’,b’,c’) because divide by 3^a on both sides, we have (a,b,c)/3^a= 1+3^(b-a)+3^(c-a)<=3<3+3^(b’-a)+3^(c’-a)<=(a’,b’,c’)/3^a
The rest is similar
Got it?

$5 \cdot (x+1)^2 - 4(x+1) \cdot (x+1)^2 = [5 - 4(x+1)] \cdot (x+1)^2$
Ann
Can you dumb it down pls
Sunset
More step
there was never any 5(x^2+1) !!!!
ok but why did your latex end up here
spelt
you said you know the distributive law.
can you state the distributive law for me?
no capitalization on the a
but yes
now
this law goes BOTH ways.
so from ab + ac you can get a(b+c)
this is called "factoring out a" or "pulling out a"
do you understand this yes or no
Yeah
yeah so that is what i am doing here
Where
Oh
$5 \cdot (x+1)^2 - 4(x+1) \cdot (x+1)^2 = [5 - 4(x+1)] \cdot (x+1)^2$
Ann
i am factoring out (x+1)^2
despite ie being written with more than one letter it is still a thing that in principle can get factored out
Where did the five go
i really don't know how to 'dumb it down' even further
Can you do it step by step
Oh
it cannot be broken down any further
So the textbook is wrong ?
THIS ONE STEP can't be broken into smaller sub-steps.
I’m confused, so this step can’t be used to get the answe in the textbook?
Oh 😭
i didn't show you the steps that FOLLOW it.
because you're saying that this one step by itself confuses you.
so we can't move on yet.
I’m confused on how this becomes the second thing
What do I need to learn to make me not get confused
Oh
Let me process this
So in this scenario
C = (x+1)^2
?
But what about the other (x+1)
wym
for the purposes of our step it can just stay as is
we'll handle it in the next step
no
you didn't factor it correctly
i showed you exactly how to do it and you messed it up
yes now you've reproduced my thing
yes now it is
Yay thx
no hate man but your paper looks like someone shot it with a sawed-off shotgun with all the therefore symbols 🤣
😭

Can someone explain how the distributive property works and how can I apply in math problems
couuld somebody possibly explain and help me for a maths problem?
@desert elm the other person got here first -- please get your own channel. #❓how-to-get-help for instructions.
@severe stump
a * (b + c) = a*b + a*c
the applications of the distributive property are very broad and numerous so it's impossible to just summarize it all in one discord chat
but applying the distributive property is often called "expanding" or "factoring" depending on which direction you go
@severe stump Has your question been resolved?
how can I apply it to my bookwork?
It says here
X=x+1
How am I supposed to get the value of x
Wait
are capital X and lowercase x meant to be the same
maybe send a picture of you're in doubt
2y^2-3y+4
- y=y+1
Sadly I didn't get a picture of it
ok now i'm even more confused at what you're supposed to do.
are you able to send a picture?
I need to simplify it
I just remembered what my teacher says
😔
do you have perfect memory
But is it possible to apply the distributive property here?
i think you don't
right now it's neither possible nor impossible bc we don't have a clearly written problem statement
Given equation:
2y^2-3y+4
question:
- y=y+1
Thank you for your time though, I appreciate it

I have this graph with the above and I'm tasked to find the range of a in terms of p
where do I start?
what does f(x) and g(x) even have in common?
and what does a, b, c correspond to in a graph?
<@&286206848099549185>
The sign of a dictates which way the parabola will be directed and the absolute value of a determines how wide/thin the parabola will look like
i see
If it's positive, the parabola goes up, and if it's negative, it goes down
That would be correct if the greater values or a corresponded with wider parabolas
But that is not the case
The greater the absolute value of a, the thinner the parabola is
ohhh I see
So here we deduce that a is positive and less than p
is there an explanation to why is that the case?
Greater leading coefficients make the polynomials increase/decrease faster
So the slopes tangent to the graph become more vertical
Hence it looks thinner
The final bit would be to write this as a double inequality
c is basically the elevation, you will see the graph be lifted as you increase the value of c
And b is kind of hard to explain in this case, I think it would be a bit more clear if you played around with its value in desmos

laplace for this one?
this is the solution
I understand the top part
but not the bottom
They used this formula sheet:
number 3 and 15
15 is used on the bottom part
But i dont see how they can split it up in two different ones?
number 15 I dont understand tho
it says e^-at * f(t)
what is f(t)?
I assume f(t) is t^2 / 2
yeah
f(t)=t^2/2
so in the form e^(-at)*f(t), a=2 right
they're using formula 15 because they found the laplace transform for f(t)
I see
what about this one
they use 22 and 5
I dont understand when they used 22
They got that L{te^-t}
how did they get that?
that should be the F(s) from 22, but where does it come from
we have that e^-(t-3) but that isn't te^-t?
Do you know what u(t-d) is
not sure
@placid spire Has your question been resolved?
it doesnt say what u(t-d) is
I see second shift theorem tho
but that doesnt explain how e^-(t-e) turns into te^-t
@placid spire Has your question been resolved?
@placid spire Has your question been resolved?
this should explain what u(t) is
do you at least know what u(t) is?
u(t - d) is a composition of functions
i recommend reviewing those

im a bit confused on how unfixed eigenvectors can be, when computing them im seeing that it can go one of two ways, setting one variable as the free variable and writing the eigenvector based off that, or setting the other variable as the free variable
i feel like my question does not make sense
like here, couldnt it [1,-1,0] or [-1,1,0]?
<@&286206848099549185>
The first vector is -1* the second one so they're linearly dependent
right
it doesn't, what is your question?
but i still dont understand any logical reasoning to make it [-1,1,0] instead of [1,-1,0]
why [-1,1,0] instead of [1,-1,0] for eigenvectors
Because we just chose it
show original matrix
Both are valid eigenvectors
Here is original matrix on the left
so there are multiple eigenbasis that are all the same thing?
those are not eigenvectors of that matrix
those are vectors in the nullspace of that matrix
Which are eigenvectors for 0
no
AX = 0 = 0X
input <1,-1,0> into this
Right :)
Ax will be <2,-4,0>
which is not -2 * x
however it is 2 * x
so the difference is a change in sign
input <-1,1,0> instead
Uh no
Ax will get <-2,4,0>
oh shit
yeah
I was thinking about only the first row
my bad idk what I'm doing

[1,-1,0] and [-1,1,0] are both valid eigenvectors for lambda = -2
But since they're linearly dependent
You can only choose one of them for your eigenbasis
They chose [-1,1,0] in the solution
You're equally valid to choose [1,-1,0] instead
okay
is this the same for eigenvalues with a multiplicity of 2?
when solving for htem
sometimes you can choose 2 independent ones in that case
sometimes you can't
depends on if the eigenvalues are degenerate
im a degenerate
Honestly same
okay so if i can write it as x1=cx2 then it can also be x_2=cx_1
but theres certain obvious cases where it has a set eigenvector for the eigenvalue
okay i think i get it
thank you!

I mind
are you sorry
how to plot points
so think of the right column as y values and the left is x
okok
