how do u calculate the ratio of 3 numbers

unborn notch
#

meaning u have 20 30 and 40

#

how do u get the ratio of those 3 in %

finite walrus
#

20/30/40

unborn notch
#

do u also say 20/30/40?

#

Hey so

#

Im@working on this problem

#

How should I go about this

lavish cave
spare birch
lavish cave
#

not that

#

but the prime factorisation

spare birch
#

Ok

lavish cave
#

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

spare birch
#

With the way they want me to write it

lavish cave
#

try to find the prime factorisations of each

spare birch
#

I assume they want me to simplify it to

#

One number outsid

lavish cave
spare birch
#

And another number on the inside

lavish cave
#

yep

spare birch
#

Wait so I should have 3 on the outside?

lavish cave
#

use the laws of indices here

spare birch
#

And then 2^9

lavish cave
spare birch
lavish cave
spare birch
#

So here’s the thing

#

This stuff isn’t actually from my actual school

lavish cave
#

it's from tutoring?

spare birch
#

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

lavish cave
#

right the laws of indices you need here are $(ab)^x = a^x b^x$

ocean sealBOT
lavish cave
#

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 $(3 \cdot 2^9)^{1/3} = 3^{1/3} (2^9)^{1/3}$

ocean sealBOT
spare birch
#

Gives us 3^(1/3) * 2^(3) = 3^(1/3)*(2^(9))^1/3

lavish cave
#

that's 3^(1/3) * 2^3

#

and 2^3 = 8

spare birch
#

Cube root of 3 times 8

lavish cave
#

yep

spare birch
#

Let’s go I got it right

#

I will say tho

#

This is what makes math so difficult

lavish cave
#

mhm

#

part of me wants to scream "you haven't seen difficult" but difficulty is all relative anyways

plain zodiac
#

for this part

#

why are they adding pi

#

why not 2pi

#

i thought its supposed to be 2pi

#

so its the same angle

storm ridge
#

Which q

plain zodiac
#

i put the whole question above

long axle
#

That’s some crazy stylismanship

proven leaf
#

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? :)

vapid stirrup

vapid stirrup
#

Does a problem like this imply that theta is less than pi/2 (or 90 degrees) ?

#

Symbolab gives me cos(theta) as the answer

split mantle
#

$cos(\pi - \theta) = - cos (\theta)$

ocean sealBOT
vapid stirrup
#

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..?

split mantle
#

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.

vapid stirrup
#

ouegh

vapid stirrup
split mantle
#

You do this question with that.

Ohh okay then

alpine sable
#

Are the angles around point K 90°?

lone heartBOT
alpine sable
#

AK is the bisector of an isosceles triangle with the base AC. BK = AC. Prove that AK = AC

storm ridge
#

Coz AC is hypotenuse

alpine sable
#

Idk if they are actually 90

#

If so, how can we prove that?

storm ridge
#

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

alpine sable
storm ridge
#

Sure

#

AC is the base, does that mean AB=BC?

alpine sable
#

So we just ignore if they are 90°

alpine sable
storm ridge
alpine sable
#

Isosceles triangle

storm ridge
#

Ok cool

#

Hmm

#

And BK=AC hmm... Gimme a min

alpine sable
#

Yeah take your time

#

Maybe i did something wrong when drawing the triangle?

storm ridge
#

Could you show from where did you get the q?

alpine sable
storm ridge
#

Oh

alpine sable
#

He is in grade 7 if that helps

storm ridge
#

Are you sure K lies on BC?

alpine sable
storm ridge
#

It could lie inside the triangle

alpine sable
#

Does that help us?

storm ridge
#

Idk

#

It just says AK is a bisector

alpine sable
#

Yeah exactly

#

There is not enough info

storm ridge
#

Hmm

alpine sable
#

It is like that in his book, just in a different language

#

I translated and posted here

storm ridge
#

Oh

#

But the original one would be better

#

Coz it retains most of the info

alpine sable
#

There are no translation errors though, i double checked the terminology

storm ridge
#

Oh

alpine sable
storm ridge
#

Was there a fig with that q?

alpine sable
#

No i asked him that too

storm ridge
#

Damn

Should i ping helpers?

This is what i got so far. We tried solving by ignoring the 90° angle, since it would be impossible, but still are stuck

alpine sable
#

<@&286206848099549185>

alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

I've tried already

alpine sable
alpine sable
alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

Okay lol

#

AK ≠ AC

#

Ignore the 90°

#

It makes this even more impossible lol

#

Ye

#

AK≠AC

#

Unless special cases

#

See this

#

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

alpine sable
alpine sable
#

But the questions ask us to prove that they do djeudnwnsjwnd

alpine sable
alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

Is my drawing correct?

#

I may have did something wrong

#

You never sent the original question

alpine sable
#

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

alpine sable
#

I think it's a typing mistake

alpine sable
#

Ye

#

Im donefor the night

#

Best of luck

#

Goodnight

though that appears to be provable by similarity, the triangle so formed is quite contradictory

past rain
#

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?

gusty gorge
#

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

past rain
#

so then that value of standard deviation is of the whole population, right?

#

Not s from just a sample?

gusty gorge
#

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

past rain
#

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?

gusty gorge
#

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?

tough dawn
#

I’m working on partial fractions and I need to solve this with a matrix.

jagged cobalt
#

progress?

lone heartBOT
#

@tough dawn Has your question been resolved?

tough dawn
#

Oh wait let me try something

#

Ok so to start would it look something like this?

jagged cobalt
#

it would

tough dawn
#

Ok

#

I remember that part

#

What do I do from there?

jagged cobalt
#

multiply by 2x(x+1)^2

tough dawn
#

Everything?

#

So it would be like 2x(2x(x+1)^2

#

Then x+1(2x(x+1)^2?

jagged cobalt
#

no, idk what you just did

#

$\frac{5x^2+20x+8}{2x(x+1)^2}=\frac{A}{2x}+\frac{B}{x+1}+\frac{C}{(x+1)^2}$

ocean sealBOT
#

AℤØ

jagged cobalt
#

multiply by 2x(x+1)^2

tough dawn
#

Ok that’s where I’m at

#

Multiply what by 2x(x+1)^2?

jagged cobalt
#

both sides of the equation...

tough dawn
#

So like for example a would be what? 2Ax or something?

jagged cobalt
#

no?

#

A(x+1)^2

tough dawn
#

Oh ok

#

But what happened to the 2x?

#

Didn’t you multiply my 2x also?

jagged cobalt
#

i did

#

it cancelled out

tough dawn
#

Oh ok I see

#

So B would be 2Bx

#

Would it be squared?

jagged cobalt
#

youre writng things oddly

#

but still no

#

how did you get B(2x)

tough dawn
#

Because the x+1 cancels

jagged cobalt
#

its (x+1)^2 though

#

so theres still a (x+1) left

tough dawn
#

Oh

jagged cobalt
#

B(2x)(x+1)

tough dawn
#

Ok

#

And c would be C(2x)?

jagged cobalt
#

it would be

tough dawn
#

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?

jagged cobalt
#

no?, that makes no sense

#

you have 5x^2+20x+8=A(x+1)^2+B(2x)(x+1)+C(2x)

tough dawn
#

Then how do I make them a system of equations to turn it into a matrix

jagged cobalt
#

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

tough dawn
#

Ok so if I had x=1 A would be 4A right?

jagged cobalt
#

indeed

tough dawn
#

Alright so the equation for that would be 4A = 5?

jagged cobalt
#

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

tough dawn
#

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

jagged cobalt
#

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

tough dawn
#

I don’t know what I’m doing either bruh

jagged cobalt
tough dawn
#

I just need to get this into a system of equations so I can make a matrix

jagged cobalt
#

fine lets say youre letting x=1 like you wanted

#

then you have 5+20+8=4A+4B+2C

#

multiple terms

tough dawn
#

Ok

ocean whale
tough dawn
ocean whale
#

Expand the right side

tough dawn
#

So Ax + A^2 would expand A right?

ocean whale
#

Not sure what exactly you are doing

tough dawn
#

Expanding

ocean whale
#

Like starting with this part here, A(x+1)^2
Expand (x + 1)^2

tough dawn
#

x^2 + 2x +1

ocean whale
#

So now it's A(x^2 + 2x +1)

#

Distribute the A to all the terms

#

Repeat with B(2x)(x + 1)

tough dawn
#

Ok

#

So A would be Ax^2 + 2Ax + A right?

ocean whale
#

Yes

tough dawn
#

B would be 2Bx^2 + 2Bx

#

And c would be 2Cx

ocean whale
#

So you now have 5x^2+20x+8 = Ax^2 + 2Ax + A + 2Bx^2 + 2Bx + 2Cx

#

Do you agree?

tough dawn
#

Yes

ocean whale
#

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

tough dawn
#

Ok

#

Ax^2 + 2Bx^2 + 2Ax + 2Bx + 2Cx + A

ocean whale
#

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?

tough dawn
#

Yes

ocean whale
#

Can you do the same with the rest terms?

tough dawn
#

I’ll try

#

x(2A + 2B + 2C)

#

Would I factor out the 2 as well?

ocean whale
#

No, you should leave it

tough dawn
#

Ok

#

And then A is just by itself

ocean whale
#

5x^2+20x+8 = (A + 2B)x^2 + (2A + 2B + 2C)x + A
Do you agree?

tough dawn
#

Yes

ocean whale
#

Now you compare coefficients

#

Can you make the equation for the x^2 term?

tough dawn
#

(A + 2B)x^2 = 5x^2?

ocean whale
#

Yes but you just only need the coefficients

#

Meaning the x^2 part, you can ignore

tough dawn
#

Oh ok

ocean whale
#

Do the same for the rest of the coefficients

tough dawn
#

So it would look like A + 2B = 5

ocean whale
tough dawn
#

This is definitely familiar

#

Alright so the next one

#

2A + 2B + 2C = 20

#

And A = 8?

ocean whale
#

Yep

tough dawn
#

Ok so now I can use a matrix

ocean whale
#

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

tough dawn
#

Yes this looks like what my professor showed

#

Alright I think I understand how to solve these types of problems now

ocean whale
#

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

tough dawn
#

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?

#

$2^2x = 7 \cdot 2^{x + sqrt(x - 1)} + 8 \cdot 2^{2sqrt(x - 1)}$

half flicker
#

$2^{2x} = 7 \cdot 2^{x + \sqrt{x - 1}} + 8 \cdot 2^{2\sqrt{x - 1}}$

ocean sealBOT
half flicker
#

i tried substituting $2^x = t$

ocean sealBOT
half flicker
#

but i how do you find $2^{\sqrt{x - 1}}$

ocean sealBOT
half flicker
#

$2^{x-1} = \frac{t}{2}$

coarse marlin
#

try taking logarithm on both sides

ocean sealBOT
coarse marlin
#

it'll help bring the exponent terms of x to algebraic terms

half flicker
#

i see

#

yeah that helps a lot

velvet smelt
#

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

velvet smelt
#

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

coarse marlin
velvet smelt
#

I meant 2^2x

#

I misread the question but it still works

coarse marlin
#

right

velvet smelt
#

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

half flicker
#

how do i simplify the $\log_2(7 \cdot 2^x + 8 \cdot 2^{\sqrt{x-1}})$

north perch
#

that is +8 or .8

half flicker
#
  • 8
#

i dont really have idea for this

ocean sealBOT
north perch
#

what was the original question

half flicker
#

and i have $2x = \sqrt{x - 1} - \log_2(7 \cdot 2^x + 8 \cdot 2^{\sqrt{x-1}})$

ocean sealBOT
north perch
#

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

plucky sluice
# alpine sable

what kind of picture is this? Are the questions photoshopped on to a picture of a mostly blank page?

#

!show

lone heartBOT
#

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

plucky sluice
#

Yes, if you show your work for one question and explain exactly where you get stuck

alpine sable
#

also i dont rlly think these are questions u can show ur work in

plucky sluice
#

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

alpine sable
#

i have i saw like 6 youtube videos

plucky sluice
#

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?

faint salmon
#

when solving a differential equation by separating its two variables

faint salmon
#

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

junior vigil
cinder thicket
#

And yes they could be 0 also

faint salmon
#

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

junior vigil
#

uhhh

weak plinth
#

You can think of it algebraically, it is algebraic. The cs are just different variables

#

Like

weak plinth
#

Bc u wrote the same number is added to both sides

junior vigil
#

instead of thinking of +c and +c

faint salmon
#

y^3 + c1 = x^2 + c2

weak plinth
#

Yeah exactly

alpine sable
#

why was my help channel closed?

faint salmon
#

and our final result would be y = cubicroot(x^2+c3)

weak plinth
#

Idk if your teacher cares tho, maybe they're fine with it being implied they're different

junior vigil
#

yes

faint salmon
#

c3 being c2 - c1

weak plinth
#

Usually teachers let you use the same symbol

junior vigil
#

but its easier to just think of it as its own constant

#

rather than have multiple constants

weak plinth
#

I don't think it's easier

#

To think of them that way

#

It's misleading

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

gilded olive
#

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).

north perch
#

Thats just half of the volume of pyramid

gilded olive
north perch
#

I can't understand what alpha really is

gilded olive
#

Angle can't be found

north perch
#

So I can't tell

#

Which 2 walls are they talking about when they say 2alpha is angle between them

north perch
#

Ohk

gilded olive
#

i tnink angle AMC=2 alpha

north perch
#

I got volume

#

@gilded olive

#

do u need to know how to do this or there is no need

lone heartBOT
#

@gilded olive Has your question been resolved?

gilded olive
north perch
#

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

hybrid pilot
#

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?

cursive badger
#

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

cursive badger
#

true, g(x) depends on x

#

but the sum depends solely on n, as far as it's concerned x is unchanging

hybrid pilot
#

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?

cursive badger
#

what do you mean?

hybrid pilot
#

uhh sorry i think my knowledge is just lacking but

cursive badger
#

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

hybrid pilot
#

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

cursive badger
#

hmm how to put this

hybrid pilot
#

im sorry my understanding of taylor series is definitely not there

cursive badger
#

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 $\int{f(x)dx}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Astral

cursive badger
#

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

hybrid pilot
#

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?

cursive badger
#

yup

hybrid pilot

Gotcha, thank you so much for your help!!

how to evaluate this limit to infinity

lone heartBOT
hushed locust
#

squeeze theorem

vale rivet
#

uh

hushed locust
#

aka sandwich theorem, etc

naive sorrel
#

well

vale rivet
#

huh

naive sorrel
#

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

vale rivet
#

thank you but i need to prove it

naive sorrel
#

prove it waw

vale rivet
#

like develop it

hushed locust
#

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

naive sorrel
#

yea

vale rivet
#

ok

#

but i need to prove it

#

with a technique

#

not words

#

math

#

numbers

hushed locust
vale rivet
#

ok

#

what

#

i need to develop it

#

the limit of (-1)^n/n

#

to arrive to 0

limpid turret
#

Have you learned squeeze theorem?

vale rivet
#

no

limpid turret
#

sec...

vale rivet
#

ok

limpid turret
#

Does this theorem sound familiar to you at all? If not, we can do your problem without it.

vale rivet
#

without it

limpid turret
#

Okay

#

So, it's good to start with the definition of a limit to infinity. Do you recall it at all?

vale rivet
#

yes

#

i can solve 1 indeterminate form but there's two here

#

so idk

limpid turret
vale rivet
#

nothing tbh

#

idk how to evaluate (-1)^n/n

limpid turret
#

Let's start with the definition of limit then

vale rivet
#

ok

limpid turret
#

You are trying to show that $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n}=0$.

ocean sealBOT
vale rivet
#

yes

limpid turret
#

By definition, that you means that, $$\forall(\varepsilon>0)\exists(N\in\mathbb{N})\forall(m\in\mathbb{N})\left(m>N\to\abs{\frac{(-1)^n}{n}-0}<\varepsilon\right)$$

vale rivet
#

uh

ocean sealBOT
limpid turret
#

with me so far?

vale rivet
#

no

limpid turret
#

where did I lose you?

vale rivet
limpid turret
#

which part do you not understand?

#

What is the definition of a limit, in your words?

vale rivet
#

but it's not about proving that it's 0, it's more like just evaluate it and find that it gives 0

limpid turret
#

If you're in calc 2 you should have absolutely learned squeeze theorem by now

vale rivet
limpid turret
#

Ah I see you are still using the very weak standard of proof for limits.

vale rivet
#

yes

#

this is what i'm asked to do

#

i need to calculate it

limpid turret
vale rivet
#

ok but I need numbers

limpid turret
vale rivet
#

no

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.

vale rivet
#

ok basically i need to make the indeterminate forms disappear by developing it somehow so I can solve it

limpid turret
#

Oh. You are using lhopital I think.

vale rivet
#

sometimes

#

wait does it work here

limpid turret
#

No

#

I do not think so

vale rivet
#

ok

limpid turret
#

This is just a simple x/∞=0 limit. It really isn't any indeterminate form'

#

I'm not sure how else to help you other than...

-1^infinity is not defined?

limpid turret
#

It is not. But it is bounded

#

Which is why everyone is telling you to use squeeze theorem

vale rivet
#

sir i don’t choose what my teacher teaches

#

i need to use something he taught me

Do you have the original problem?

vapid shuttle
#

Technically that is undefined

jagged cobalt
#

it being -inf is basically saying it doesnt exist, but it just goes down forever

vapid shuttle
#

But

jagged cobalt
#

not exactly

vapid shuttle
#

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
