oh thanks
It's a multiple choice question btw so one of these is the answer. A.1 B.2 C.3 D.7/5 E.9/4
ohhh
wai
i got u
umm wai the options are more confusing though
theres an error in the options im sure
the answer is supposed to be 2 *root of 34
perhaps you made a mistake?
Cuz my teacher was able to solve it, but then he doesn't answer our questions
or maybe you could show me your steps?

@glossy lion Has your question been resolved?
@glossy lion How far have you come?
It helps drawing a figure
Try doing that as a start
xd?
Wrong chat
@glossy lion Has your question been resolved?
Well you can set up two eqs. do you see it? (Hint: use pythagoras thm)
One could be y^2+(x+5)^2=8^2
y^2+x^2=5^2
Exactly!
Now before you solve this. Observe that y here is not needed so you can subtract the two eqs. to get a very nice linear eq. in terms of x
Lmao

Log27^x=2/3
I got that x = 9 thanks to my calculator
But how would I figure that out without my calculator
@blissful breach Has your question been resolved?
log is defined as follows: to what power should the base be raised in order to obtained the argument
ur argument is x
ur base is 27
ur power is 2/3
figure out the rest urself

hello
Is there no channel to voice chat
i dont think so
Damn
I dont understand why u cant just do 13C1 x 4C2 x 12C1 x 4C2 x 11C1 x 4C3
@worthy badger Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
shouldn't it be B
choice A is correct
i'm not sure how you obtained this product
do you mean 4C1 13C2 3C1 13C2 2C1 13C3?
no
the reasoning behind my decision is that at first u need to select a denomination for the 2 cards... hence 13C1
Then following that choice u need to select 2 cards out of the 4 available in the denomination that was just picked
hence 4C2
ah i see i read "denomination" as "suit"
Do u see my thinking behind it?
yes that make sense but this results in overcounting
the reason is that you're choosing 2 cards from 2 different denominations
this method of counting counts different orderings of these cards as different cases, when in reality they are the same
say you picked the denomination 3 with Diamonds and Clubs, then you picked the denomination 4 with Clubs and Hearts
this is the same as if you picked 4 with Clubs and Hearts, then 3 with Diamonds and Clubs
using choice B, we count these two choices of cards as different choices, but they end up in the same result
in what way then does it differ from this question where they use the strategy I employed (and in that case it worked)?
because you pick 4 cards, 3 cards, and 2 cards
the number of cards of each denomination are the same so you can use a product with a choice of 4, 3, and 2, and not result in overcounting
the issue with this problem is that you have 2 cards, 2 cards, and 3 cards
you can't distinguish the groups of 2 cards from each other, therefore counting it the way you'd normally do it results in overcounting
why do they only choose 2 denominations instead of 3 then? in the first step
because you can distinguish a group of 2 from a group of 3
there's only 2 groups of 2, so you pick 2 denominations (for the groups of 2) at the start, not all 3
bruhhh this stuff is confusing af
alr i see
ye combinatorics tends to do that to you unfortunately
generally though when doing a problem like this i count it the way described in answer choice B, then i divide by some constant to remove the overcounting
in this case the constant would be 2! = 2
because there's 2! ways to order the 2 groups of 2 when you pick them, and these orderings were overcounted
if, say, i was picking 2 cards, 2 cards, 2 cards instead
i'd calculate 13C1 x 4C2 x 12C1 x 4C2 x 11C1 x 4C2 (which is the way you'd normally do it)
then i'd divide by 3!, or 6, since that's the number of ways to order the 3 groups of 2 cards
(just noting this ^ since it's another way you can think about it*)
(the alternative posed in answer choice A is also correct)
so esentially I can think of it with the way I have been doing it and if the case arises where the number of cards in any of the listed group are the same, then I can complete the problem in the manner that I've been doing it, but I'd need to divide my end result by the number of groups present ( in this case 3) and include the ! sign?
something like that yeah
like for instance if I had to choose 2 cards of one denominaiton, 2 cards of another denominaiton, 3 cards of another denominaiton, and 3 cards of another denominaiton.... then id do it my method where it would work out like 13C1 x 4C2 x 12C1 etc
and once I get my final answer I divide by 4!?
thx for ur help btw
not 4!
you would divide by 2!, and then again by 2!
because you have 2 ways to order the 2 groups of 2, and another 2 ways to orger the 2 groups of 3
welcome 🙂
then how come for this one u dont do 2! and then 1!?
ah that's a nice question
since there's 2 groups of 2 and one group of 3
it's because 1! = 1, which is an implicit thing
technically yes you can think of it as dividing by 2! then dividing by 1!
but it's equivalent to only dividing by 2!
wait how? 2!=2 and 3!=6?
2!= 2 and then 1!=1
which dont add up to 6
i'm not sure if i understand the question
You had mentioned that dividing 2! and then 1! is the same as 3!... but when looking at these values on the calculator I dont see how they are equal
uh...
well they certainly are not equal
oh i see what you're asking
there's 3 groups of 2
?
the last one asks for 3 cards
whereas the other 2 asked for 2 cards
the extra example i gave you was 3 groups of 2
that's the case where you divide by 3!
ohh i see
yee
u should take my midterm for me 😂
😂 i'm struggling on my own tests lmaoo
well whatever u are struggling with is something well beyond my knowledge that's fs
😭 it's linear algebra
crying
u go on here to remind urself of how smart u are 😭
nahh atp i'm going on here to get exposure to what other people are doing
(although i mainly only answer questions that use concepts that are common in competitive math)
it's kinda fun helping ppl understand things and i genuinely think i've been able to improve myself by spending time in this server's help channels
hey man to each their own... i would never do math for fun 😂
but helping others and seeing all the various types of problems out there will make u better through time fs

How do I find x y z and a
@broken briar Has your question been resolved?
So what i decided is
60/a=4/X for a ratio
Giving me a is 15 larger than X
a+x=8
15a=x
15(x-8)=x
X=7.5
A=.5
(sqrt(60^2+7.5^2))+(sqrt(.5^2+4^2))=(y+z)
Tell me if I'm wrong

hello
32 - 5 = ?
Well, she starts with 5 bracelets.
Each package adds 4 more.
So, how would you write that in algebra?
Like if she had 1 package, that would be p = 1, so 5 - 4(1) = 1.
Oh, OK.
So, 5 + 4p is good.
What counts of bracelets would work?
You said 32, but there might be others.
?
Like if she had 100 bracelets, that would also work.
That would be enough to give 32 people a bracelet, right?
i think?
Well, think about the actual situation.
Let's say you want to give 32 people a bracelet.
ye
If you have 100 bracelets, would that be enough to do that?
yes
OK, so 32 works, but also 33, 34, 35, etc.
So, 5 + 4p has to be 32 or more.
Does that make sense?
Right.
=>
5 + 4p >= 32.
ok
just wanna make sure with a couple m,ore quesiton
cuz i have been stuck on two step ineqautlites for a long tim
OK.
OK, so she needs 100 or more seashells, right?
100=34+12d
Almost.
100>=34+12d
You're getting there.
Can it be exactly 100 if she "wants to collect over 100 seashells"?
wwhat?
Well, "over" means more than.
Right.
Equal means exactly the same.
Like 5 + 5 = 10 means that 5 + 5 is exactly the same number as 10.
yes i know that
Does that make sense?
OK, so if she needs over 100, that means that she needs more than 100.
Exactly 100 won't work.
so
Does that make sense?
she wants MORE than 100
just a 100 wont do
OK, so first you need to solve the inequality.

Help
Its harf
In the middle is a minus or a product?
Start factorizing the numerator of the first fraction
factor both numerators and cancel some terms in the fractions before you subtract them (assuming it's subtraction)
Thanks for noticed, it was multiple
oh that makes it much easier
Now you can just factor both numerators
And you will get it
Do you know how can u factor both numerators?

✅
<@&286206848099549185> ^
you have proved that they're congruent
right?
what do you think corresponding sides mean?
@ruby elbow
hm
yes
like
if these two triangles are congruent
then
if we flip one onto another
that linear pair
should be corresponding angles
those are angles
alright lets say
we have a triangle ABC and DEF
Angle ABC =90 Degrees, and Angle DEF= 90 degrees
rest of the angles are 45 each
in that case
When u put them side by side
AB would be corresponding to DE
BC would correspond to EF
oh i thought you said corresponding angles
and AC would correspond to DF
try putting those triangles on top of one another
whichever side perfectly fits the other, becomes its corresponding side
do you have a basic understanding now?
im trying to draw what you said out
wait
two equilateral triangles
tho
THEY ARE
ok
then they won't be congruent, they'll be similar triangles
congruent means every side and angle is equal
you cannot make sides bigger as it would then result in them not being congruent
^
triangles are congruent if they have equal sides and angles, but you dont need to prove that theyre all equal to find congruence
an example of this is "side-side-side congruence", where its enough to prove that the three sides are equal
this was shown in step 3 and is correct
now that both triangles are congruent, you can use that to say that ||angle ADC = angle DCE||, since theyre essentially the same angle in their respective triangles
this is called "CPCTC," short for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
?
there is no option
for angle ADC = angle DCE
lol
did you read everything else around the spoiler you clicked
yes
bit telling that the only thing you talked about is the spoiler
you know that the ending step is that "since the alternate interior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel"
so youll need to find two angles that are congruent and are alternate interior angles, knowing that the triangle's angles are congruent to the other triangle's
hm
don't alternate interiorangles need a transversal
is CD = DC the transversal
what do they give you as answer choices
?
angle ECD and angle DCE are the same exact angle
ok
hey
can't
angle DCA congruent to
CDE work
because that would prove that DE || CA instead
how
🤔
i have no idea how any of this helps of solve how AB parallel to CE
do you know what alternate interior angles are
yes
do you know that those alternate interior angles are between parallel lines and a transversal
ye
do you know that those dont involve any other kind of line
🤔 the angles are only between those 3 lines - any other kind of line couldnt be included if it tried
so if you have an angle about EDC and DCA, then that would only be about lines ED, DC, and CA
I literally said that
ok
do you want a solution so bad
this is the second time you asked a question that would be answered if you read what I said
I already screenshotted the correct answer
select it
i am just confused with all this proofs and congruence stuff
then once you get the question correct, click the button on the khan academy website that breaks down how the solution works
if you cant find it, screenshot the website and Ill point it out to you
those angles yes
I already said that twice
ok
i see
that
angle ADC and ECD
don't touch any other line
the angle ADC only is touching
you didnt seriously consider ADC and ECD before this, I see
no I just looked at all the possibly answers and instantly went here because I had no idea what they were talking about
so you didnt try
once I point out these things you already know, you suddenly know

i think we use the mean value theorem
$$f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}, c\in[a,b]$$
Cycadellic
then, f'(c) is the mean rate of change
thanks gimme a bit to calc my answers
@surreal crystal is part b just asking the limit as t approaches 1?
I somehow messed up inputing the answers
but Im getting the same answer on b
is it when t is approaching 1 or 0?
@surreal crystal
Cycadellic
its asking for the rate of change at that point
by the way
if we put this limit into the mean value theorem
$$f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}, c\in[a,b]$$
$$f'(c)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(b+h)-f(b)}{b+h-b}, c\in[b,b+h]={b}$$
$$f'(b)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(b+h)-f(b)}{b+h-b}$$
Cycadellic
its just asking for the derivative at that point
I don't understand
that was just a proof that its just asking for the derivative at that point
dont worry about it
what do the answers tend to
we want what this approaches
10.3 seems close, and since its asking for an approximation, it may accept the answer
but its not strictly correct
do you know how to find the derivative?
haven't gotten to that part of calc 1
if so, what is f'(1)?
it may be more obvious if you had ii and iii
but i think it simply wants 10.28
yeah
hi @flat lion are you around?
yea
for bcd I think I figured it out
as it approaches from left to right, it has different values corresponding?
but they don't match up so that why's there isn't a limit for when x approaches 0
@last walrus
use the open circles to talk about the limit (ignore the fact that f(2) = 1)
so limit as we approach from the left side is what do you think?
2?
0?
correct
nicely done!
so the limit only cares about what the y-values are "tending towards" it never cares about what f(x) is at that particular x-value
Last one is as x approaches 4
it would be DNE since the two one sided limits are different
yes
as x approaches 4 it gets closer to 3?
but 3 is also defined as well no?
yes, but we dont care if f(4) is defined, we jsut care about where the y-values are tending towards. in this case both sides are tending towards y=3, so thats the limit

Hey, could someone help me understand what determines whether triangles have 0, 1 or 2 solutions based on one angle and two sides?
Are you asking why angle-side-side is not a congruence theorem?
Are you referring to this?
Ignore that page number, because I pulled that from google
Where are you confused? The figures should help with it
Finding side a occurs after using law of sines/cosines
Do any of the figures correspond to a number of solutions?
Yes, it corresponds to 2, 1, or no solutions
Ok ty
As it describes below each figure
but a is not <h in the last one?
oh wait
that was not a glitch
lol nvm
a is not >b tho in the second one?
If a >= b, it's only one solution
doesnt seem like the figure reflects that?
You should know that "figures aren't to scale"
but a is clearly not higher or equal to b in fig 2?
figures aren't to scale
I think Fig 2. meant to say a=h
right in that case i understand
That could be it too, like I said I pulled it from google
You should probably review your material before you say, with certainty, that it is true.
(A mistake I make often, myself)

hi, what does the little + or – exponent thingy mean here? is the 4 in b different from the 4 in c?
Hi! Yes, this tries to tell you whether you approach 4 from the left or the right on the real number line. For example, with the minus sign you would approach 4 from numbers smaller than 4.
So coming from -inf and working your way through the numbers until you hit 4 and the reverse with the plus sign, you start from +inf (or where ever) and end up at 4 from the right side
no problem!

help
imagine you have
uh
lol
imagine you have this:
these are all length 1 lines
now
i make a second length
these are all 2/3
ok no wait
let me fix the thinggy
the math isnt mathing
nvm
its correct
anyways
as you can see the lines sometimes overlay and sometimes not
lets segment it
here we have segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
how do i calculate, how many "partitions" are in a given index
example
first red line overlays with just 1 gray line
second red line however overlays with 2 gray lines
which gives the table
1:1
2:2
3:1
4:1
5:2
6:1
how can i mathmatically calculate this (My guess is that its something with % Modulo)
(fast pls if possible i gtg later)
it should btw work if the red is bigger than gray
example: 4/3
which results in any xth line being 2 partitions
so you want to find the number of gray lines overlaying with a red line.. given its index (the red line's index)?
yep
even better if you can find it with pixels, since thats my main issue :O
for example
pixel 1 has 1 partition
pixel 2 has 2 partitions
....
going with bigger red lines you might have for example 4 partitions ... how do i calculate this
though this could be obtainable from here i guess
WHAAAT
@vagrant basin Has your question been resolved?
wait wait
well
here's what i got
the red line i starts from (2/3) times i-1 to (2/3) times i
so the line positions are smth like this:
(0, 0.6)
(0.6, 1.3)
(1.3, 2)
(2, 2.6)
(2.6, 3.2)
a red line overlays with 2 lines if:
a normal line ends between the positions of the red line
or
an integer is between the positions (notice how i defined the positions of a red line as intervals)
here, let me illustrate it
@vagrant basin Has your question been resolved?
The blue lines always end in integer positions, because each line is of an integer length unit.
line ends at 1, 2 ends at 2 and so on.
so if an integer lies between start and end position of a red line (exclusively), that means the red line overlays 2 blue lines. (because a blue line starts/ends between the positions of the red line)
I guess that's one way to put it.
I hope that makes sense.

The scale factor of two similar polygons is 1:3. The perimeter and area of the larger polygon are 78 in. and 144 in^2, respectively. Find the perimeter and area of the smaller polygon.
I am confused on how to solve the area
if the perimeter scales by a factor of x, then the area scales by a factor of x^2
(you can also extend this to volume. if we scale a 3d shape with volume V by a scale factor of x, the new volume becomes V * x^3)
how would I set up my proportion?
would it be 1/3=144/1, although i don't thihk thats right
what do you calculate for the perimeter of the smaller shape
i did 1/3=78/1
what is that
a proportion i set up
where is your variable
how are you using that to solve for perimeter?
which 1 there are 2
thanks
alright so this would be incorrect because it treats the 78 perimeter shape as the smaller polygon instead of the larger polygon
for instance, if you solve for x here, you get x = 234
to fix this, we'd want to write our equation as 1/3 = x/78
does this make sense?
cool
finding the area is a very similar process, but instead of using a factor of 3, we want to use a factor of 3 squared, which is 9
so you're squaring the scale factor?
pretty much yes
alr and then?
can you set up the equation to solve for the new area?
two things
first, you made the same mistake as the first time
second, the area of the larger polygon is 144 not 78
oh ok
do you understand what your mistake is?
yes my second fraction was flipped the wrong way
when you have an equation that compares two ratios, you want the individual parts of the fractions to match
so would it be 1/9=x/144?
yep that's right

Why is this problem DNE? I'm a bit confused with open circle graph limits.
what was your reasoning for why it's 1
right
but the limit as x->0 actually doesn't depend on the value of g(0)
only on values of g(x) for x near zero
i'm still a bit confused with that
you have two cases to look at:
x < 0 (the behavior of the graph to the left of x=0)
and x > 0 (the behavior to the right of x=0)
I see
the graph has to approach the same y value from both sides in order for that y value to be the limit
OHHH
(or for the limit to exist at all)
that's where i was getting it wrong
so in order for it to be 1, (0,2) would have to be (0,1) basically?
like that line just connects to the closed dot
the curve on the right side would have to approach (0,1)
just like the curve on the left does
the value at x=0 doesn't matter, but the behavior of the curves on both sides as they approach x=0 is what matters

I’m learning to factor polynomials. My teacher mentioned “every positive number has a double negative”. In what case could I use this rule ?
Overall I’m very confused with this new topic and I’m constantly indecisive if I should put a negative in my answer or a positive lol
I don’t have a particular problem I’m struggling with but I just don’t know how to use this rule…
well -5-(-5) is -5+5 cuz of the double negative, so any equation u have -5-(x) in which x is a negative number
u should just change it
Okay thx
i need help
ith math
im in gr 9

how does one solve these diffeqs? do i just guess and plug in?
is there a procedure for it?
i tried searching up how to solve "Homogenous diffeqs" but all of them are with given functions or something of the like.

Oh sorry
Do you know how interior angles work?
Not really
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
You have a 4 sided shape so the angles you wrote in pen + the last angle sum to 180*(n-2) with n =4 sides
So the three you have + last interior angle = 180*(4-2)=360
So C is 180?
I added 75 + 95 + 105 which added up to 275
So then I thought it had to add up to 360
So I assumed C was 80
75 + 95 + 105 + 80 = 360
Wait nvm
85**
Yes so that’s x, then using your diagram what is c?

how do I evaluate 3b?
sry claimed it first
Have you learned lhopital rule?
you don't need l'hopital rule here at all and it's unclear how it would be useful
for a limit we only care about the value of f in the immediate neighborhood of 10 (in this case), not the value at 10
so where do I start?
Quotient rule?
sketch the function

questions 2 and 4, i have the answer but need explanations. in AP statsitics
What does independent mean to you?
The occurence of one event doesn't affect the occurrence of the other event?
okay
so just take that information at face* value
and re-read the question aloud to yourself
okay
so
the chance that one runs doesnt affect the other
but they can BOTH run
does that help?
45%
okay
45-9
lets say that the chance that the day that she announces she is running is rainy is 20%
what is the chance that she runs, and it is raining?
that is how assessing multiple independent events works - you multiply the probability of each
e.g. chance of a coin being heads 3 times in a row = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2
now let me reword my example slightly
gotcha
so thats all your question is
what is the chance that ONLY hilary runs
and not this other guy
I would just picture it no differently to the example above
or to the multiple coin flips
what is the chance she runs?
ok
so 0.45*0.8?
yep
Well
same thing
multiple events repeated
take the product of their probabilities
what are the two ways that the event can occur? (In other words, describe the events that the question is wanting you to find the probability for)
tbh still confused w/ 4
probability that they pick either 2 girls or 2 boys
ok
what is the chance that the first selection is a girl (given the question says we are randomly selecting, not voting)
2/8
so what is the chance that those two events occur in a row?
then multiply?
are we asking if they are both going to occur
or are we asking if either one will occur?
right
its not asking for both
so
so addition, not multiply right
correct
assuming independent
you can add the separate probabilities
and
you can multiple probabilities
multiply for a series of events happening in a row/simultaneously
add for separate probabilities (when each of them are "successes" for your event)
if you like a visual understanding, think of a tree diagram
and we want to select all the paths that are Boy > Boy and Girl > Girl
because any of those are a success
but all of the paths that are Boy > Girl are a failure, and Girl > Boy
gotcha
thank you
i have a few more questions and am new here,
can i post them on this chat w u? or restart the process
just remember its a bit weird but "OR" generally means you are adding "AND" generally means you are multiplying (or in a Venn diagram, OR means you are doing everything in the circles you care about, and AND means you are only selecting things in the overlap)
Lot of students get confused that AND feels like it should be bigger or adding, and OR feels like it should be one or the other.
The idea is that AND is MORE restrictive - both things need to occur so we have a smaller selection
OR is less restrictive - either thing can happen for a success so there is a larger selection
Normally I wouldn't mind, but I am about to go tutor someone so I have to go.
thanks. have a gday
no worries, just make sure u read over the above info and think about it (in venn and tree etc) ^^

is this a hard proof to come up with?
I had to do it but gave up after I tried to go with something inductive but hit a wall
Like for first time ?
I mean yeah I've never proved exactly this before but for example I'd never think to put it into Ax^2 + 2Bx + C >= 0
to be honest even after I saw it I had to look for like 25 mins before I bought in
I think it depends on which level you are like for me we are not taught this inequality at 11th grade but i was just curious so looked up and this proof was so simple(i didn't thought that the proof will be this much easier to understand) but i am sure if was given to prove this i would not have done this in first time

Hey
So im trying to calculate the value of ε
I did this by
rearaging it to make it look like a y=mx + c equation
and I got
1/n = ε /22 (1/I) - r/22
And to find ε , you plot in values of n and I, and ignore r
I got ε to be 66/41
My question is how do I find the values of r
Is doing lets say
Y= mx +c
y= mx -r
m (gradient being) ε/22 so (66/41)/22 = 3/41
Can you do
(lets say y = 0.3 when x = 5]
Can you do
A. 0.3=3/41 (5) - r/22 to find r
Is that wrong?
It looks wrong
Or would you have to have 2 y and 2 x values
B.
So lets say y=0.3 and x= 5 and y=0.9 when x=13.2
0.3=3/41 (5) - r/22
0.9 = 3/41 (13.2) - r/22
Or can you do,
1/n = ε/22 (1/I) - r/22
y = m x + c
So since 1/n is the y axis and 1/I is the x axis
y = ε/22 x - r/22
Thus
22y = εx - r
If you dont know what tf im on about and want to help, I can explain everything from scratch in like 2 min one after one
Im a bit confused on what the flip in doing haheuhauheuaeh

What does r and epsilon represent
Internal resistance and ε emf
