try to factorise 1536
Ok
but either way it works actually
like I can recognise 512 is a power of 2
so it's 3 * 2^9
you could do the same with 32 * 48 and so on
With the way they want me to write it
try to find the prime factorisations of each
yep, so the cube root of 3 * 2^9 is?
And another number on the inside
yep
Wait so I should have 3 on the outside?
yeah
use the laws of indices here
And then 2^9
the cube root of that ye
Haven’t learned it yet
really?
it's from tutoring?
This stuff is from a program I signed up for that is harder than regular school
And it basically shows some stuff I don’t know how to tackle yet
right the laws of indices you need here are $(ab)^x = a^x b^x$
south
where x = 1/3
if you multiply ab by x times
it's the same as multiplying a by x times
and then multiply that by b mutliplied x times
so $(3 \cdot 2^9)^{1/3} = 3^{1/3} (2^9)^{1/3}$
south
Gives us 3^(1/3) * 2^(3) = 3^(1/3)*(2^(9))^1/3
yeah
that's 3^(1/3) * 2^3
and 2^3 = 8
Cube root of 3 times 8
yep

for this part
why are they adding pi
why not 2pi
i thought its supposed to be 2pi
so its the same angle
Which q
i put the whole question above
That’s some crazy stylismanship
are you asking where they do pi/12+pi?
oh wait yes it is the whole problem, well remember what's the period of this function? :)

Does a problem like this imply that theta is less than pi/2 (or 90 degrees) ?
Symbolab gives me cos(theta) as the answer
$cos(\pi - \theta) = - cos (\theta)$
Good
Yes, i can see how that would happen, but thats only true if theta is less than pi/2 right?
so thats what this question is implying i guess..?
Applying pi to an angle means to flip the angle, to its opposite angle.
If you got cos(112), which is in the 2.quadrant, and you add pi (180) to it, you would have cos(292), which is in the 4.quadrant.
thats how you got this right
You do this question with that.

Are the angles around point K 90°?
AK is the bisector of an isosceles triangle with the base AC. BK = AC. Prove that AK = AC
If it's 90 then AK cannot be equal to AC
Coz AC is hypotenuse
Yes i figured all that out already
Idk if they are actually 90
If so, how can we prove that?
I mean, if the q asks proof of why AK=AC, then it cannot be 90
To prove why it cannot be 90 we need to prove AK=AC
Using other ways
Can you please help me, i'm seriously going insane on this easy question
So we just ignore if they are 90°
Yes
For now, yeah
Isosceles triangle
Could you show from where did you get the q?
That's the exact text i got from my little brother, idk
Oh
He is in grade 7 if that helps
Are you sure K lies on BC?
Well, if AK is the bisector and AC is the base, where else can it lie on?
It could lie inside the triangle
Does that help us?
Hmm
It is like that in his book, just in a different language
I translated and posted here
There are no translation errors though, i double checked the terminology
Oh
It's the exact same
Was there a fig with that q?
No i asked him that too
Damn
Should i ping helpers?

Your diagram shows a right angle, but you are apparently unsure if it's a right angle or not
That is the original problem
Yeah we decided to ignore it and move on
Ye just ignore the right angle
But still stuck
Coz if it is then we can't prove what's given in the q
AK is the bisector of an isosceles triangle with the base AC. BK = AC. Prove that AK = AC
That is all that's given.

This is the question
This is what i got so far. We tried solving by ignoring the 90° angle, since it would be impossible, but still are stuck
<@&286206848099549185>
Im just pure guessing but maybe prove AK = BK first by idk similarity or something... I dont see the way but there must be something
I don't think it's possible
I've tried already
Forthis try drawing a parralel to AC from K intersecring at some point On AB
Oh
Can you draw that?
I don't think i understand
XK || AC
Its loading
That will also be a parrallelogram, maybe use that and the Basic peoportionality theorem / Thales theorem idk
Its 2 am i cant think clearly but i have that faint memory of doing this question
Idk
Yk the thing is is that this is a problem from my 12 year old brother's math book and he would have no fucking clue what this all means
Lmao wtf
12 year old?
Exactly
What were they expecting for them to do
Then just show them it cant be 90° and hence your veryquestion is wrong
Lol
I would love to know
Too
No way
This is stupid idk
Fr
Maybe they forgot to add some info to the question
It feels incomplete
Ye
Lemme try still
Okay lol
AK ≠ AC
Ignore the 90°
It makes this even more impossible lol
Ye
AK≠AC
Unless special cases

Alright ty
You certainly can deduce
It is
An isoceles triangle + AK≠AC
Lemme draw a circpe for you too wait. A sec

Its not the best but
Using the circle you can see
If AK doesn't equal AC, then we can't prove that the question is true
Exactly
But the questions ask us to prove that they do djeudnwnsjwnd
Circle has the radius as AK and it doesnt cut at point C , AK ≠ AC
They gone nuts
BRO

The perfect proof
Virtual Graph Paper is a web application for creating drawings and illustrations on a virtual grid. You can use it right here in your browser. When you are done, your drawing can be downloaded as an SVG file.
You can easily see
I took the radius as AC
Now the line
From below its exactly 45°
And from above the angle is like 30ish
Therefore it is jot the bisector
Therefore the Question is wrong
Wait wait
Maybe i did something wrong?
Actually no
😭, tell us
It is wrong
Yeah cus
Unless theres some special relation for the angles
It wont work
Does BK = KC
Uhh wait
if a line bisects an angle, it divides the opposite side into segments proportional to the other two sides, right?
Can we use this somehow
This true
AK ≠ AC still
Is my drawing correct?
I may have did something wrong
You never sent the original question
AK is the bisector of an isosceles triangle with the base AC. BK = AC. Prove that AK = AC
Thats all?
Yeah😭
Yeah then your drawing is correct
Cuz
K must lie on AC
I mean
BC
Questions wrong. Period.
Why can't they just make it lay on ac
Sjebebf
Cuz K originates from A
I think it's a typing mistake
Yeah ik
Ye
Im donefor the night
Best of luck
Goodnight
Thank you, goodnight
WAIT I GOT IT I THINK
If we set AB and BC to x, and AC to y, we can write it as
AK/BK = AB/BC
AK/y = x/x
AK=y
So AK = AC
K was on BC all along eh?
I think so?
Damn
I guess this is correct
Fuck this question though
@subtle birch
you basically used similarity
Glad you got it
though that appears to be provable by similarity, the triangle so formed is quite contradictory
Alright, i can finally close this channel after like 3 hours of opening it
Time to explain this to my 12 year old brother
Thank you to everyone that helped me with this, actually can't thank you guys enough 🙏

If a probability problem says that it has been observed that historically, test scores follow a standard distribution of 30.9, that is σ instead of s, right?
I mean technically it's a t distribution with the number of degrees of freedom as historical observations - 1
but typically, we have a lot of history, so it converges to the normal distribution
so then that value of standard deviation is of the whole population, right?
Not s from just a sample?
it's a really large sample, since you haven't actually observed the whole population
but since the sample is really large, you just use the normal distribution
so, in a sample of 23, with an average of 249.1, and a historic 30.9 standard deviation
with a confidence of 94%
The upper limit of the average would be 261.2?
I have no idea; I'm far too lazy to calculate it
but confidence of 95% is just +/- two standard deviations, where the standard deviation is of the sample mean

i have a sequence $a_1 = 1, a_{n+1} = a_n + (-1/2)^n$ (which is indeed a geometric series, but pretend i didnt know that).
how can i find $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n$? i tried the method where i say $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} a_{n + 1} = L$ but when i subsititute my $a_{n+1}$, $L = \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n + (-1/2)^n$ i get $L = L + \lim_{n \to \infty} (-1/2)^n$ which is just $L = L$. what am i doing wrong?

I’m working on partial fractions and I need to solve this with a matrix.
progress?
@tough dawn Has your question been resolved?
Haven’t made it anywhere
Oh wait let me try something
Ok so to start would it look something like this?
it would
multiply by 2x(x+1)^2
no, idk what you just did
$\frac{5x^2+20x+8}{2x(x+1)^2}=\frac{A}{2x}+\frac{B}{x+1}+\frac{C}{(x+1)^2}$
AℤØ
multiply by 2x(x+1)^2
both sides of the equation...
So like for example a would be what? 2Ax or something?
Because the x+1 cancels
Oh
B(2x)(x+1)
it would be
Ok
So to make them equations I would do A(x+1)^2=5? Then do the same kind of thing for B and C?
Then how do I make them a system of equations to turn it into a matrix
choose values of x to sub in to make equations purely in terms of A, B or C
ig if you wanted to go wild, you could expand the brackets and compare coefficients to make your equations
either is fine
Ok so if I had x=1 A would be 4A right?
indeed
Alright so the equation for that would be 4A = 5?
no
thats not how it works
you have more than one term
if i say 3+12=7+8 that doesnt mean 3=7
thats what youre doing rn
Oh
I thought you did them one at a time. That’s why there’s a, b ,and c. X^2, x, and the constants
you sound like you want to compare coefficients
but you also did an x substitution
so i really dont know
which one are you doing
I don’t know what I’m doing either bruh

I just need to get this into a system of equations so I can make a matrix
fine lets say youre letting x=1 like you wanted
then you have 5+20+8=4A+4B+2C
multiple terms
Ok
If you were doing this way, I think the more ideal way is to expand 5x^2+20x+8=A(x+1)^2+B(2x)(x+1)+C(2x)
then compare coefficients to make equations
That sounds more familiar. How do I do that?
Expand the right side
So Ax + A^2 would expand A right?
Not sure what exactly you are doing
Expanding
Like starting with this part here, A(x+1)^2
Expand (x + 1)^2
x^2 + 2x +1
So now it's A(x^2 + 2x +1)
Distribute the A to all the terms
Repeat with B(2x)(x + 1)
Yes
Yes
On the right side, group up all the x^2 terms, all the x terms, and constants
Like rewrite that right side so all the x^2 terms are next to each other, and so on
Now notice how you can factor the common term. Like Ax^2 + 2Bx^2, the common term is x^2, which is why you grouped the terms like that. So Ax^2 + 2Bx^2 = (A + 2B)x^2
Do you see that?
Yes
Can you do the same with the rest terms?
No, you should leave it
5x^2+20x+8 = (A + 2B)x^2 + (2A + 2B + 2C)x + A
Do you agree?
Yes
(A + 2B)x^2 = 5x^2?
Oh ok
Do the same for the rest of the coefficients
So it would look like A + 2B = 5
Yes
Yep
Ok so now I can use a matrix
You now have your equations
A + 2B = 5
2A + 2B + 2C = 20
A = 8
From there you can make your matrix and solve for A, B, and C
Yes this looks like what my professor showed
Alright I think I understand how to solve these types of problems now
I mean from this, you don't really need to do the matrix
Because by observation, you have A = 8 already
Then you know what A is, so you use the first equation, plug in A, the solve for B
Then you know A and B, and just use the second equation to find C
Yea I could solve it by hand. I noticed that too but my professor wants us to get comfortable with matrices
Thank you for helping me. I’m not the easiest to help when it comes to this

hello, does P({1,2,3}) mean just the set {1,2,3}? prob not... because P(x) represents a power set, no?
also, "given by inclusion" means that it is a set with finite elements?
<@&286206848099549185>
@obtuse folio Has your question been resolved?
P means power set, yes
So P({1, 2, 3}) is the set of every subset of {1, 2, 3}
so {/0,{1},{2},{3},{1,2},{1,3},{1,2,3}}
In general, for any set $A$, $C\subseteq A\leftrightarrow C\in P(A)$.
SWR
You're missing one subset
For any finite set A of cardinality n, the cardinality of P(A) is 2^n
What is cardinality
number of elements in the set
ah ok
does "given by inclusion" mean that it is a powerset/set with finite elements?
statement is consider a partial order R on P({1,2,3}) given by inclusion of sets

The antiderivative of ln(x) is not 1/x.
Also it would be better to take ln x as the first function
@honest folio Has your question been resolved?
Thx
Would I still get the correct answer if I dont?
I think you would but you would've to integrate ln x as the second function
Which would be quite tedious

$2^2x = 7 \cdot 2^{x + sqrt(x - 1)} + 8 \cdot 2^{2sqrt(x - 1)}$
$2^{2x} = 7 \cdot 2^{x + \sqrt{x - 1}} + 8 \cdot 2^{2\sqrt{x - 1}}$
Yanek
i tried substituting $2^x = t$
Yanek
but i how do you find $2^{\sqrt{x - 1}}$
Yanek
$2^{x-1} = \frac{t}{2}$
try taking logarithm on both sides
Yanek
it'll help bring the exponent terms of x to algebraic terms
If you want, you could also split the 1st term on the right side of the equal sign into 2^x • 2^sqrtx-1
Then divide both sides by 2^2x
It becomes a quadratic actually
you mean the first term?
Oh sorry yes
Then after dividing by 2^2x, you could let 2^(sqrtx-1)-x be equal to a variable like p, then you'll get a quadratic that you can solve very easily
It's up to you tho, multiple ways of solving this
well actually you'll still have 2^sqrt(x) to deal with.
not to mention, the second term will get even more complicated cuz there'll be x in the denominator of the exponenet
hmm. now i think it'll be quite easier. cuz all the exponents will be the same
right
Exactly
If you have any trouble with it, please ask
Oh I just realised that you're not even the one that posed the question
that is +8 or .8
Yanek
what was the original question
@north perch and i took log_2 of both sides
and i have $2x = \sqrt{x - 1} - \log_2(7 \cdot 2^x + 8 \cdot 2^{\sqrt{x-1}})$
Yanek
u didnt have to take log this early
u can have 2^x=a and 2^(x+1)^1/2=b
so a^2=8b^2+7ab
(a+b)(a-8b)=0
so a=-b or a=8b
now substitute the value of a and b and take log

I neeed help with discrete random variable
what kind of picture is this? Are the questions photoshopped on to a picture of a mostly blank page?
i translated it so u could understand
Anyway, you will have better luck if you focus on one question at a time and show your work for that question
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
can u help me tho?
Yes, if you show your work for one question and explain exactly where you get stuck
what if i dont know where to start?
also i dont rlly think these are questions u can show ur work in
Honestly, both of those usually mean you haven't done the min. amount of studying on your own to be able to start the problem
i have i saw like 6 youtube videos
These certainly have work that can be shown, and if you can't write down anything for any of the problems, then you should read your textbook, go over your lecture notes
Mimic some example, etc.
I could try to walk you through, but if you are so far behind, you will probably not learn much.
My advice is to try your best to make some progress on one of these problems. Then you'll have enough context to learn from the help you'll get, and the helper will know what you don't understand
For instance, for the first question, what do these $\Omega$ answers mean?
Xenophon
I could tell you, but it's such a basic thing that I would be haphazardly trying to teach you an entire course.
omega?
yeah? what do they represent conceptually?
the number of elements in a set
no
I really recommend reading your textbook/notes and trying these problems on your own

when solving a differential equation by separating its two variables
how come the +c doesn't cancel out?
if we have dy/dx = 2x/3y^2
i can separate the variables and get
3y^2 dy = 2x dx
integrate both sides to get y^3 + c = x^2 + c
the c's combine in a sense. Since they can be any value, each one need not be the same as the other
And yes they could be 0 also
ah, so instead of thinking about it algebraically and just assuming the c's cancel out you can just take them as one unknown vertical translation
uhhh
You can think of it algebraically, it is algebraic. The cs are just different variables
Like
This is wrong
Bc u wrote the same number is added to both sides
instead of thinking of +c and +c
y^3 + c1 = x^2 + c2
Yeah exactly
why was my help channel closed?
and our final result would be y = cubicroot(x^2+c3)
Idk if your teacher cares tho, maybe they're fine with it being implied they're different
yes
c3 being c2 - c1
Usually teachers let you use the same symbol
but its easier to just think of it as its own constant
rather than have multiple constants

Hi I'm struggling with this problem. I probably need to apply Bayes' theorem, but not sure how. I came up with this so far but it doesn't work: A = event that a person voted party X. B = event that a person claims they voted party X. p(A|B) = (p(B|A)*p(A))/p(B). But p(B|A) and p(A) are not given so this cannot be right

Hello! Can you please help me a little with the solution to this problem, because I solved it, but the compendium I got it from doesn't have the answers and I'm not sure if I worked the right way
Given a pyramid ABCDM with base rectangle ABCD, the lengths of all surrounding edges are equal. The lengths of the base edges are AB = 4 cm and BC = 3 cm, and the angle between two surrounding edges not lying in a wall is 2 alpha. Find the volume of the pyramid and the distance from point A to the plane (BDM).
Thats just half of the volume of pyramid
The final answer for the volume will contain tan(alpha)?
I can't understand what alpha really is
Angle can't be found
So I can't tell
Which 2 walls are they talking about when they say 2alpha is angle between them
Ohk
i tnink angle AMC=2 alpha
@gilded olive Has your question been resolved?
How much did you calculate it?
There was basic integration
Nothing complex
Suppose there is triangle in a plane that's parallel to auc plane
It's base is x
And the angle at top is 2alpha
It's width is dx
Since it's an isosceles triangle,when we cut the triangle into 2 parts we can get a right triangle of base x/2 and the top angle is alpha. Now use some trigno to get area in terms of x and then integrate with limit from 0 to 5 as the max value of x is AC which is 5

Hello, I am attempting a problem in which I must find the taylor series expansion at point 0 of a function similar to the form of (3x^3)/(1-x) using known . Online solvers are telling me to use the known geometric expansion (first image) and then just multiply in the 3x^3 within the summation. Why does this work? When is just multiplying in another part of the expression into to the known expansion okay? for another example, when solving for the expansion of (1-x)(ln(1+x)), could I just multiply (1-x) into the known expansion of ln(1+x)? Thanks

so long as something is not dependent on the summation variable it can be moved in and out of the sum as if it were a constant
ie
[a^2\sum_{n=1}^{∞}\frac{1}{n^2}=\sum_{n=1}^{∞}\frac{a^2}{n^2}]

in this case x^n, x is constant in the function, n is the summation variable
so while you can't move f(n) terms outside the sum, you can move terms that are constant (relative to n) in and out
I'm a bit confused on what you mean by f(n) terms, can you elaborate on what those would be in the (3x^3)/(1-x) situation?
so yes, in this case you could just multiply every term in the expansion for ln(1+x) by 1-x and it would work, because as far as math is concerned you just multiplied every term in a sum by a constant before adding them instead of after
it would be x^n
how do I put this
[g(x)=\frac{3x^3}{1-x}]
[g(x)=3x^3\sum_{n=0}^{∞}x^n]
[g(x)=3x^3\sum_{n=0}^{∞}f(n)]
within the function, x is a constant, it's not dependent on n

true, g(x) depends on x
but the sum depends solely on n, as far as it's concerned x is unchanging
I see I think I get it
I think my follow up question would be besides my list of known taylor polynomials, how do I know that the other part of the equation that I'm treating as a constant doesn't end up relying on n?
what do you mean?
uhh sorry i think my knowledge is just lacking but
it relies on n if it is a summation term that cannot be extracted, ie infinite sum of xn you can factor out an x from all the terms to get x * infinite sum of n
but infinite sum of 3/4^n you can turn into 3 * infinite sum of 1/4^n, but you can't take out 4s because while the 3 is common to all the terms, each term inside the sum does not share all the same number of 4s
in 3x^3/(1-x) you can multiply all the terms by 3x^3 before or after summing them together
but you can't take out "x" terms from the x^n because not all the terms have the same number of "x"s
ie the first term at n=0 has no x, it's just 1
you can compensate, ie get x * infinite sum of x^n-1
but that's less simplified
i think the gap in understanding im having is why 1/(1-x) becomes x^n and by extension reliant on n
while 3x^3 stays as just that without any reliance on n
ah, you are simply rewriting as an infinite sum
hmm how to put this
im sorry my understanding of taylor series is definitely not there
we are not changing 3x^3's form, it does not rely on anything but x
1/1-x does not rely on anything but x, but our problem is we want a series
so we rewrite 1/1-x as a series, getting an equivalent form, an infinite sum where each term is dependent on n and x
however, 3x^3 is untouched, it's not dependent on n and can be moved in and out of sums
if you know calculus, it's like how you can't move f(x) out of $\int{f(x)dx}$
Astral
because n is a "temporary" variable, it only exists to make the sum, just like how here x only exists to integrate f across a domain
ohhhh i think im understanding now, its not that 1/1-x needs to be related to n its that we want it to be so we can form a series?
yup

how to evaluate this limit to infinity
squeeze theorem
uh
aka sandwich theorem, etc
well
huh
since n is approaching infinity
the denimjnator in the second term is approaching infinity at a faster rate than the numerator
the answer is just 2 bc the denominator grows faster than the numerator
thank you but i need to prove it
prove it waw
like develop it
the (-1)^n term alternates between -1 and 1. so the expression is always less than or equal to the same but with 1 in place of (-1)^n and greater than or equal to the same but with -1 in place of (-1)^n
yea
so if you can prove that both of these limits converge to the same limit, the overall limit converges to that as well, by the sandwich theorem
Have you learned squeeze theorem?
no
ok
Does this theorem sound familiar to you at all? If not, we can do your problem without it.
without it
Okay
So, it's good to start with the definition of a limit to infinity. Do you recall it at all?
Can you show me what you have so far?
Let's start with the definition of limit then
ok
You are trying to show that $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n}=0$.
SWR
yes
By definition, that you means that, $$\forall(\varepsilon>0)\exists(N\in\mathbb{N})\forall(m\in\mathbb{N})\left(m>N\to\abs{\frac{(-1)^n}{n}-0}<\varepsilon\right)$$
uh
SWR
with me so far?
no
where did I lose you?
here
which part do you not understand?
What is the definition of a limit, in your words?
but it's not about proving that it's 0, it's more like just evaluate it and find that it gives 0
If you're in calc 2 you should have absolutely learned squeeze theorem by now
it's when you approach a number without touching it
Ah I see you are still using the very weak standard of proof for limits.
Then this was the proof wording explanation for your limit. No better way to put it in calc 2 terms.
ok but I need numbers
You already did. You found out it was zero.
no

Technically that is undefined
it being -inf is basically saying it doesnt exist, but it just goes down forever
But
not exactly
Yes
Kind of
The idea is that the thing on the bottom is becoming really small
And the top is negative
Dividing by something really small gives you something really big, but negative because of the top
So they write -infinity
But really the limit DND
DNE*
The other ones are completely different
If you apply the reasoning, it doesn’t make any sense?
So that’s why
Well
If you multiply by something
And then divide by that same thing
You’re doing nothing at all
So the terms cancel
