Subject: Trigonometry (basic identities)
I'm having trouble understanding all the steps in this problem
I understand the first step (rewriting 2x)
I substract 2sinxcosx from both sides, and factor
Oh so I have an a.b=0
🤦 [
I understand now
my bad
thanks

hi
how do i make this
construct a graph on 9 vertices, and colour each edge with one of three colours so that there does not exist any monochromatic triangle
did i already mess it up?
!original
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
i think there might be some crucial details that we are missing.
such as?
i just need to contruct a graph with 3 colors where a monochromatic triangle does not appear
having all the edges on of three of the colors
"a graph of 9 vertices" could just be 9 vertices with no edge
i could interrogate you but it is easier to just see the entire problem
that way we know for sure nothing is missing
just send a pic of the problem
yes even if it isnt in english
ok
(c) With 9 students from the program on social media, prove that it doesn't always hold that three individuals from this group are mutual acquaintances, mutual connections, or mutual non-connections. To validate this, design a 9-node graph and color each connection with one of three colors in such a manner that there's no monochromatic triangle present – meaning, no triangle where all three connections are of the same color.
ok so really what you are after is a coloring of the complete graph on 9 nodes.
thus you have edges missing still.
I guess thats where im loosing it
I thought the "edges" refered to this
from I to A
i thought that is considered an edge
i can't make out the letters you have labeled your vertices with
but you have some vertices that aren't joined by an edge at all.
its just A-I
ok so you could have told us this was an incomplete picture.
Im sorry
my brain is mush rn
im just confused on what exactly the "edges" are... how do i KNOW where to put each line etc
you're looking at the complete graph on 9 vertices
am i just connecting each letter to another with every color except on the outskirts?
a complete graph is a graph where every pair of edges is joined by an edge
sdglkbjslkd
fuck.
every pair of vertices is joined by an edge.
the positions of the edges on the paper dont matter. they dont even have to be straight lines.
ur sayn i can make squiggly lines?
sure
though i would also consider readability
if you squiggle your entire thing through, it will be impossible to tell what edges go where at all.
which is great if you want to be malicious, i guess.
anyway
ok let me give an example
right now i do not see any single-color triangles in your incomplete graph
whether it is extendable to a complete one, i do not know
i am trying it right now
don't know what "like this" means, exactly.
then that would prove there is no monochromatic triangle?
u see the blue extending to each letter
i would need to see a more precise description of the pattern, or a complete picture.
with the next vertex id do green to each letter etc
ah shit
so how would i know how to solve this??
without making a million diff attempts
dunno.
i am currently trying to extend your first pic.
it seems to have worked
oh wait no i am missing one edge at least
how the hell
hang on
ok this seems to be it
i just drew the edges one by one
and for each one i looked at the existing edges and tried to avoid making monochromatic triangles
dunno
or is there multiple diff ways?
there's probably many different ways
@serene vault Has your question been resolved?
is it possible to do with with a graph that has 17 vertecies?
theres a triangle!
can anyone verify if there is a triangle present?
Yes right here in black
It's actually very easy
In case you don't understand what I did, here is the graph before the last 9 edges
Why not?
in the directions it says this
To validate this, design a 9-node graph and color each connection with one of three colors
also
what would u do with a vertex = 16
So?
What do you mean?
say there are 16 nodes
theres no way ur just gota free brain that
and draw it off the rip
Then you probably need 4 colors idk
there must be a simple solution
i.e. a formula
like using pigeon hole or something
I mean I can kinda prove that my graph is valid
how so
cause if u can proove it in wording then you can proove a contradiction if you wanted to raide the amount of nodes
without having to tediously draw
Here you have a 9-cycle of each color, so obviously no triangle (that would be a 3-cycle)
Also none of the missing edges can close a triangle
Not sure how to prove that part
Then for the last 9 edges, it's pretty easy to see that they don't form triangles among themselves
Each of the 3 edges of one color among the last 9 edges have different end vertices
Actually I got this
If you number the edges and work modulo 9, then the 9 red edges are between vertices with a difference of 1
So to close a red triangle you would need a red edge between vertices with a difference of 2 (or 7 since it's mod 9)
But all of those are green edges by construction
And so to close a green triangle you would need a green edge between vertices with a difference of 4 (or 5 since it's mod 9)
But all those are blue edges by construction
And finally to close a blue triangle you would need a blue edge between vertices with a difference of 8 (or 1 since it's mod 9), which are all red already
hmm

What is ∫(-2 to 2) (1-|x|) dx?
If I separate them into two functions (y= 1 & y= -|x|), I get 0, but if I try to draw it all as y= 1-|x| I get -2
Here is the work-process I did for both methods:
hmm wasnt this just posted
it timed out
ah
hmm you shaded the wrong area for the -|x| but its equivalent
likewise, you shaded the wrong area for both functions together
here its not equivalent
shading the correct region will give you the same answer
Hmm

just a small question: if a function is lets say c(x), is c a function of x, or is x a function of c?
c is the name of the function
yes
mhm :D

✅
if x=15c in c(x), is it c(x)=15x?
in c(x),
c is the function
the whole thing c(x), c of x is a function of x
x=15c
solve that for c
c= x/15
though not really needed you could explicitly state that as
c(x) = x/15
so theres a word problem for this
so someone earns 15 per hour
and write a function with e for earning and h for hours
what do i write as the function
well how much do they earn in h hours?
15e?
no
15h
yes
so e=15h
yes
is the function e(h)=15h?
that would be acceptable

@slate oxide Has your question been resolved?
you can find the normal vector of that plane
notice that the plane π must have a normal vector perpendicular to the normal vector of π_0
and the normal vector of the plane π must also be perpendicular to PQ

✅
Well you have two points that are in the second plane and since it is perpendicular to the first plane that also implies that the normal vector to the first plane will also lie on this plane, thus you need to utilize this to find a normal vector to the second plane
next step would be to find $\overrightarrow{PQ}$

I found the derivative of it and tried factoring but it didn't really factor well and I am confused a little ngl.
Can you take a picture of your work
,rotate
for cancavity consider f''(x) not f'(x)
so I should take the derivative of the 4x^3-30x^2+48x
I got it right tysm

if it was concave down would i look for f''(x) < 0

if it f''(x)=0 then you have what is called an inflection point
pretty much just where concave up turns into down and vice versa
ohh that really sums up the concept of POI
Do I use the product rule here first or I skipp the whole thing
,rotate
you can multiply the whole thing out into a sum of powers of x
are you saying distribute and simplify the expression first before taking the derivative of something?
You should do that in this case, but not for all cases

@lime holly Has your question been resolved?
Well the statements are quantified, so start with that
There is exactly one person is
$\exists ! p$
Then everybody becomes all people
$\forall q$
Cycadellic
So, we can interpret love as a function which takes two people and gives true or false depending upon whether said people love each other
This means we can represent this by the statement
$\exists ! p (\forall q L(p,q))$
Cycadellic
This statement would imply that the love is two-sided though, and the statements only mentions that q loves p
But i suppose its good enough
Now your example doesnt use the !
Instead it says that if we know $\forall w (\forall z L(z,w))$ then we know that z must be y
Cycadellic
This is just a different way of writing that there can only be one if these
In fact, this is the definition of uniqueness
$\exists ! x P(x) \iff \exists x P(x)\land(\forall y P(y)\rightarrow x=y)$
Cycadellic
So, for the first part, we just deconstruct the sentence into its proposition
Then we can apply the definition of uniqueness, the definition of only one
This basically says that there is only one thing that satisfies P exactly when everything that satisfies P is this one thing
As for the second one,
There are exactly two people whom Lynn loves
Can be said
There are two people so that Lynn loves both people, which are different people, and that if Lynn loves somebody, it must be one of these people
“There are two people so that Lynn loves both people”
Is needed because this is the main idea of what is being said
“If Lynn loves somebody, it must be one of these people”
Is what we mean by “only”
And we need to specify that they are different people, because in the proposition alone, it is possible that they are the same person, which is not what we mean
Essentially, if you want to construct a proposition like this, apply the meaning of there are using the existential operator, apply the meaning of only through proposing that anything that satisfies P must be one of the choices,
Then in cases where there are multiple choices which satisfy P, we must assert that all choices are different

this solution doesnt make any sense for me
so if the norm is larger than 1, its not a gaussian prime?
like what
A gaussian prime is not a product of two non-units
since c+di and c-di have norms greater than 1, they are not units
wdym unit
element with a multiplicative inverse
in Z there are two units: 1 and -1
in the gaussian integers these two are joined by i and -i
you've expressed c^2+d^2 as a product of two things each of which has norm larger than 1.
right i understand that part
from my understanding, a gaussian integer is simply where the real and imaginary parts of a complex number are integers
i dont quite understand the whole norm larger than 1 thing
Do you know Gaussian primes though
gaussian primes are products of complex numbers that cannot be expressed using integers
i know how the solution works algebraically
like i know how to do it
but i dont understand the last bit
i guess i dont understand the "by definition" part
ok let's use your definition
well i just want to know the right definition, not necessarily my definition
words some up mixed you!!!
do you know what a ring is, or not yet
no
heres the question
i have no idea what gaussian integers are
i never studied it
this is just the quesiton
gaussian integers are complex numbers with integer real and imaginary part.
so all my knowledge comes from the question iteself
of course
the norm of a gaussian integer is the square of its modulus
i get that
right
like ok the thing about gaussian integers
is that they are closed under addition and multiplication
what do you mean by "closed"
and so they form a structure called a ring (which you might study in the near future)
the sum of two gaussian integers is still a gaussian integer
and the same goes for product
oh i didnt know that, i thought only the products worked
ok so then lets go back down to real integers for a moment
ok
an integer p is prime if it is impossible to express it as the product of two integers, neither of which is ±1
right
if i may, let me just make the question and bit more specific
would you agree that if c and d are integers, then c^2 +d^2 is a gaussian integer?
right
wait a second
what is there to prove
it literaly states in the quesiton than its the product of two gaussien integers
obviously n will be a gaussian inetger
no, the question doesn't state that n is the product of two gaussian integers
it asks you to express n this way
and the solution, as is obviously its job, tells you how
right but if you assume that n as the product of two gaussian integers
n should also be a gaussian integer
so then why does the solution have to prove the norm is larger than 1
what does showing that prove
but why would you assume it
i was going to explain, but you kind of cut me off.
my apologies
i was going to explain by going back down to real integers
a real integer p is prime if it is impossible to express it as the product of two real integers, neither of which is ±1
the "neither of which is ±1" bit is there to exclude obvious and trivial products such as 7 = 7*1
right
the "norm > 1" bit is what that translates to in the gaussian integers
it is to exclude products where one of the factors is ±1 or ±i

i need to differentiate
so i decided to use the chain rule
and so far i got 90(4tan(2x)+9)^2
but im stuck on how to go on about finding the derivative of the inside
chain rule again
my bad i wasnt clear but that's where i need help
i dont know how id use the chain rule on the inside
@simple ocean Has your question been resolved?
Try use the quotient rule for the inside where $4tan(2x) = \frac{4sin(2x)}{cos(2x)}$
SKELEROY
why bother with quotient rule
after the initial application of (power)-chain rule you'll have
$$y' = 90(4\tan(2x) + 9)^2 \cdot \blue{\dv{x}(4\tan(2x) + 9)}$$
do you know how to differentiate tan(x)?
why 30, should it not be 90?
derivative of tan is sec^2x
sry typo

apply that and combine with chain rule
(assumed that you already know how to apply linearity and constant multiple rule)

working on some factoring in here
lemme know once ya get in
hello im in
k i'ma give you a quick rundown of factoring trinomials
before, I mentioned the ac method so let's give that one another shot
kev you can join in too if you want
$x^2 + 4x + 3$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
Starting off, what are the only 2 factors of 3?
1 I guess
1 and 3
okay what is going on💀
Someone else is already using this help channel. If you need help with a question, please open your own help channel/thread (see #❓how-to-get-help for instructions).
no, no cheating allowed on this server
ok good. So here's the long way of doing this when a=1
we're gonna take the 4, and split it into the 1 and 3 we have
$x^2 + 4x + 3 = x^2 +x + 3x + 3$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
ok with what I did there?
ye
so you just split it into 2 and the 1 stays as x?
yeh jus the middle terms
and i took 4x and made it into x + 3x
i'ma show you y in a second
(and let you see something peculiar that happens)
So the long method here is what's called factor by grouping. we look at the first 2 terms and see what's "common" between them and pull that value out (or factor that value), then we do that with the last 2 terms.
So for $x^2 + x$ what's common between those 2 terms?
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
x
wait I got one thing I thought it would become x and 3 but it's actually 3x, so it keeps the x?
yup that's right
so we're just splitting it?
yup
So,
$x^2 + x $ becomes $x ( x + 1)$ because we factor the x, or in other words, divide by x, but put the x on the outside of the terms we divide.
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
How about $3x+3$? What's common between those two terms?
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
3
3
you trackin?
Yeah I just don't get it
are you trying to get values of x in that eq?
well if you don't get it, you have questions right?
yeah
why do we put x outside the bracket
yeah what happens there
That's the operation of factoring. we find what's common between the terms, then "pull it out"
for example
let's say we have $8x+16x^2$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
If I rewrite it like this:
$8x + 2\cdot 8\cdot x \cdot x$, first what number do both of them have in common?
8?
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
yup you got it.
make sense?
but in that equation where do we get the 1 from
what's your question?
in the equation above, we can rewrite any single term as that term times 1
so $x = x\cdot 1$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
I'm figuring out what my question is I don't really even know what I'm not getting
probably some why's right?
so this way: $x^2 + $x = x\cdot$x + x\cdot 1$
(and don't worry, I grill my students all the time, no stress mode here)

now x is common
but we've done x^2 + x = x(x+1)
i dont get how it becomes x(x+1)
x
so x^2 just becomes x*x and x becomes x 1, so if there was like a 4x what would happen
it would be 4* x
you're gettin it
you so are basically multiplying x with both of them. using distributive property of multiplication: we can take the x out and put the other terms in bracket
i dont understand the question
x * x + x * 1 = x(x + 1)
Oh I get it
this one from before, you said there's an 8 common right?
you take out the common x from both terms, just remove it and store it in your memory for sometime, just remember that there was a x that was being multiplied to both but don't multiply it right now
what would you be left with then?
so if you take an 8 out of both terms and put it out front, you have 8(x + 2* x * x)
well now I dont get it again
so both the 8s become one 8 out front?
yeh. cuz like anshuman said, you're doing the opposite of the distributive property
i get it now
$(a\cdot b + a \cdot c) = a (b+c)$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
yes! you stop multiplying the 8 for sometime and put the left over expression in a bracket and then multiply the 8 to the whole bracket itself
ohh
so with that, you have $8(x + 2 x x)$, how many x's do you have in common between those two terms?
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
$8($x + $x^2)
1?
yup
where did the other 8 go in this one
i gues you mean this
so you pull that x out
you only use one 8
now what do you have left?
oh it was x^2
AnshumanNeon
Compile Error! Click the
reaction for more information.
(You may edit your message to recompile.)
8x*2?
I dont get why
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
in that you only use 1 a
for which equation
for 8 (x + 2 x x)
its simple, you don't go tell every student individually that annual function is coming, you just gather them in a place and tell them collectively
8x(2x)?
close, don't forget that x = x*1
similarily you dont multiply individually (you can, but sometimes it helps not to) you just take whatever you're multiplying with and put that in a bracket and then multiply the whole by 8
8x(2*1x)?
for a moment, just store it in your memory for sometime and dont multiply it by anything, then whatever you're left with just put that into a bracket and then multiply the 8 with that bracket itself
that's cool now
8x(1+2x)?
ding ding ding
but wouldn't there be another 1
wdym
but we don't usually write them out
that can be
because multiplying by one doesn't matter, adding and then multiplying does
you can multiply anything by 1 as many times as you want and you will still get the original number
remember to multiply by 8 but dont multiply now, multiply after you've put everything in the bracket
yup
yes
so yeah I got that it just gets multiplied by 8 when it's in the bracket
it becomes 1+2x?
yes!
yup
ok
try this one: $x^3 + 4x^2 + x$
JayRoc (The Hurricane Panda)
xxx+4xx+x
good start
x(x^2+4x)
good going
x^2(x+4)?
no you had the right factor, it was just x
but somethin is "left over" for the last term ya?
remember x = x*1
yeah
so if you factor an x off, whatcha got left?
🔥
x^2(x+4+1)?
yes
the first one was correct. we don't have enough "x" terms to do the 2nd one
(the last term only has a 1)
I think before the trinomials, just a few exercises in factoring will be good
Jay gotta go to bed now tho, it's 6 am
np. yall ping me if I'm around tmrw, if I'm not busy we can do some more
ok
I didnt get it but thanks for the help much appreciated
What don't you understand?
I just understand I take 8x+2 * 8 * x * x = 8(x+2 * x * x)
uhm
the discord screwd it up
ok fixed it
Right, we've got $8x + 16x^2$
USS-Enterprise
Factoring means pulling out common factors
If we first expand this, we get $(8 \cdot x) + (2 \cdot 8 \cdot x \cdot x)$
USS-Enterprise
These are two terms, (8x) and (2*8*x^2)
What are the common factors in these two terms?
idk
USS-Enterprise
What are the common factors of these two terms (2 and 4)?
2
Exactly
So we can "pull" two out
Or factor two out
Same thing
And rewrite as $2 \cdot (1 + 2)$
USS-Enterprise
Because of distributivity if we were to multiply everything out again, we'd get 2 * 1 + 2 * 2 or 2 + 4
What we had in the start
The terms inside the parantheses is what you get if you divide the original term with what you are pulling out
So we get 1 by dividing the original term (2) with what we are pulling out (2), because 2/2 = 1
Similarly, we get 2 because we divide the original term (4) with what we are pulling out (2), because 4/2 = 2
Get it?
yes this one I got
USS-Enterprise
What are the common factors of these two terms?
2 and x
USS-Enterprise
What's the first term inside the parantheses?
Remember, original term divided by what we are pulling out
2x * (1 + 2)
There you go!
1 because 2x/2x = 1 and 2 because 4x/2x = 2
Now try this: $3x^2 + 6x$
USS-Enterprise
What are the common factors?
it should be 3(x * x + 2 *x) or something similar right
Is 3 the only common factor?
1
I mean, this is technically correct but you can do a bit more
Look at the variables
You've got $(3 \cdot x \cdot x) + (3 \cdot 2 \cdot x)$
USS-Enterprise
You got 3 right
right
But doesn't an x appear in both as well?
It doesn't matter there's two of them in the left
All that matters is that there's at least one in both
So pull it out as well
like u did yeah
So $3x \cdot (something)$
USS-Enterprise
And repeat what we've been doing
I have to go eat I'll be back

How can I develop this i cant see a way
@dim kettle Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Polar is e^i?
yeah, you can write every complex z as z = r e^(ix) [where r is the modulus/radius of that number and x is the argument/angle of that number]
this equation simplifies a lot if you go through polar form instead of just z=a+ib
I dont see how u would simplifu that
have you solved easier equations with polar form before, like z^6 = 1 for example ?
Yes
yeah ok
well the idea here is that complex conjugate and multiplication behaves well with the polar form
if z = re^(ix), then |z| is just r, and bar(z) = re^(-ix)
Yes
that simplifies our equation quite a bit
$$r^3e^{i3x} = \frac{1}{3} i\cdot r\cdot re^{-ix}$$
aPlatypus
and now even that i can be incorporated
since i is just e^(i pi/2)
$$r^3e^{i3x} = \frac{1}{3} e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}}\cdot r\cdot re^{-ix}$$
$$r^3e^{i3x} = \frac{1}{3}r^2e^{i\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)}$$
aPlatypus
so here we have 2 numbers in polar form which are equal
so their radius is equal
and their angle is equal (up to a multiple of 2ipi, cause adding 2ipi doesn't change the value of the exponential)
Mhh
well now I guess you can take over
you have all the setup
you just have to find what values the radius can take
same for the angle
and you should already have done that on simpler examples like z^6 = 1, as you said
Trig of 1 is e?
anyway looking at that last equation, what's the radius on the left side and on the right side ?
U have r not known
yes r is not known we're trying to find it
but that equation gives us information on r, that's my point
Hiw would u find r
we know these two numbers in polar form are equal
Ok
and two numbers in polar form (!= 0) are equal if and only if their radius is equal and their angle is equal
You should probs also put a +2pi*k on the angle
well afterwards yeah
Ok so I put radius=radius
then you're done
if you found all possible r and x that work, you got all the complex numbers that solve your original equation
Ah ok
Can u help me with a different quick thing
ok @dim kettle
So u have this
U can split
Right one has 3 solutions
Which are z=e^(i(3/2pi + 2kpi/3))
Ok?
yep sounds good
Ok what aboht left tho
X^4+6x^2+9=0
If it was regular x there would be no solution
Lets develop for testing
(z^2 + 3)^2 = 0 is equivalent to z^2+3 = 0
Why
if you want
well you can split that equation in 2 again (like you did with the big one)
(z^2 + 3)^2 = 0 is equivalent to (z^2+3 = 0 or z^2+3 = 0)
U said same thing twice
yeah that's the point
X^4+6x^2+9 is different than x^2+3
the equations are different sure
the roots are the same though as I've just shown
and we're only interested in the roots
We have this
Normally no solution
But we in C
So t=z^2
Solution of t is -3
Z^2=-3
?
Oh
You've just shown that if this is true, then x² = -3
So can x = -3?
No
Here's your answer then
Yes
Thx
Don't forget to maybe simplify here
?
e^(ipi/2) = ?
= i
Yes
Thx
And k is either 0 or 1 here
Yes
So you should be able to find all solutions by plugging k=0 first, and k=1 afterwards
Yes
What do you get?
2 results
Yes, can you find them?
× sqrt3
Ah yes
You got it!

Ava
not an equation
show exactly what you're putting into your calc
oh 1 sec, i see something problematic already
what's with the two decimal points $$31\red{.}536\red{.}000$$
ℝαμΩℕωⅤ
yeh, that's like illegal notaton
which is why your calc is essentially saying hell no
what's the number supposed to be
Ava
so when you write 31.536.000 it means 1.99 * 10^32?
but what do you mean when you write 31.536.000?
use that, no illegal decimal points
math jail
well firstly there's only 1 decimal point there
and that is representative of the number with an integer part of 1 and fractional part of 0.5,
or 1 + 0.5
having two decimal points like that makes no sense
commas can be used as delimiters to separate thousands,
but calculators don't recognise that either
if the number you want to enter use 31536000
just enter that

im a bit confused for question 3
idk how the indices distribute and in which order the functions are inner and outer
Do you know the power and chain rules?
ik them yes but this is a bit hard to wrap my head around
this specific example i get the chain rule
the power rule is part of chain rule
in the third
Can we write the same as [Cos(3x^2)] ^5
so the innermost function is the 3x^2
$cos^5 3x^2=\left (cos(3x^2) \right )^5$
Adam Chebil
oh so the 5 indice on the cos just goes outside the whole thing altogether
i hada question that was sin^4 x
so use the power rule
and the 4 was on the outside but it was a bit harder to see when htere was more going on
so the (x)^5 is the outermost
that is the same as (Sinx) ^4
yeah
after using power rule, use the chain rule to differentiate the cosine
wait is there really no difference between sin^4 (x) and (sin(x))^4
shi ok
so outermost is (x)^5
yes
yeah
middle is -sin( 3x ^2)
remember we are differentiating cos(3x ^2)
not cos(x)
so we get -sin( 3x ^2)
yeah but isnt the stuff inside the cos(x) another function
dont worry about that
the inner functions remain the same while differentiating the outer
oh right i think i understand
Okay
so the outermost is 5(cos(3x^2)^4
Yes
ah i see
the x represents whatever the inner functions are like with f(x)
ok ok ok
exactly
middle is -sin(3x^2)
yes
innermost is 6x?
ok so we got
all are multiplied
oh i see if you keep it in the form with all of the fucntions still written out as opposed to just (x)^5 you just take the product of all 3
yes
5(cos(3x^2)^4* (-sin(3x^2)) * 6x
identify the outer function for the chain rule
it may not always be something squared
yes
whats it in this case
that is the complete derivative
this "it"
here it is something raised to the power 5
something is the inner function, Cos(3x ^2)
That is why we used the power rule since it is the outer most function and we differentiate it first
i think i got everything then i jsut have to simplify the complete derivative shouldnt be too long
ya i was just confused on the order and where they distribute with indices on trig
