wait for a sec..

#

ill give u the answer

glossy lion
#

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

alpine sable
#

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

glossy lion
#

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

#

@glossy lion Has your question been resolved?

glossy lion
#

still stuck

#

I give up 🧍‍♂️

mental finch
#

Something like this right?

glossy lion
#

Yeah but my triangle is more flat

#

Cuz BDC is isos

mental finch
#

Well you can set up two eqs. do you see it? (Hint: use pythagoras thm)

glossy lion
#

One could be y^2+(x+5)^2=8^2

mental finch
#

Right..!

#

And?

glossy lion
#

y^2+x^2=5^2

mental finch
#

Exactly!

glossy lion
#

HOW DID THAT TOOK ME 2 HOURS

#

bruh I needed some rest

#

I was resting lmao

mental finch
#

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

glossy lion
#

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

#

yeah bet bro

hello

lone heartBOT
worthy badger
#

Why do u have to pick 2 denominations right away

quaint cove
#

Is there no channel to voice chat

worthy badger
#

i dont think so

quaint cove
#

Damn

worthy badger
#

I dont understand why u cant just do 13C1 x 4C2 x 12C1 x 4C2 x 11C1 x 4C3

lone heartBOT
#

@worthy badger Has your question been resolved?

worthy badger
#

<@&286206848099549185>

alpine sable
#

shouldn't it be B

livid sage
#

choice A is correct

livid sage
worthy badger
#

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

livid sage
#

ah i see i read "denomination" as "suit"

worthy badger
#

Do u see my thinking behind it?

livid sage
#

the reason is that you're choosing 2 cards from 2 different denominations

livid sage
#

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

worthy badger
livid sage
#

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

livid sage
# worthy badger

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

worthy badger
livid sage
#

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

worthy badger
#

bruhhh this stuff is confusing af

livid sage
livid sage
# worthy badger

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

livid sage
livid sage
# worthy badger

(just noting this ^ since it's another way you can think about it*)
(the alternative posed in answer choice A is also correct)

worthy badger
livid sage
#

something like that yeah

worthy badger
#

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!?

worthy badger
livid sage
#

because you have 2 ways to order the 2 groups of 2, and another 2 ways to orger the 2 groups of 3

livid sage
worthy badger
livid sage
#

ah that's a nice question

worthy badger
#

since there's 2 groups of 2 and one group of 3

livid sage
#

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!

worthy badger
#

2!= 2 and then 1!=1

#

which dont add up to 6

livid sage
worthy badger
livid sage
#

well they certainly are not equal

livid sage
livid sage
worthy badger
#

the last one asks for 3 cards

#

whereas the other 2 asked for 2 cards

livid sage
#

that's the case where you divide by 3!

worthy badger
livid sage

worthy badger

well whatever u are struggling with is something well beyond my knowledge that's fs

nahhhh

anything with linear in the name is overrrrr

livid sage

worthy badger
livid sage
#

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

worthy badger
#

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

lone heartBOT
broken briar
#

4^2 + (a-8)^2=z^2

#

60^2+(x-8)^2=y^2

lone heartBOT
#

@broken briar Has your question been resolved?

broken briar
#

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

jolly lichen
#

hello

lone heartBOT
jolly lichen
#

wondering anyone can help me with this

tight locust
#

32 - 5 = ?

oak chasm
#

Well, she starts with 5 bracelets.

#

Each package adds 4 more.

#

So, how would you write that in algebra?

jolly lichen
#

32=5-4p

#

?

oak chasm
#

Almost.

#

But 5 - 4p means that for each package, she loses 4 bracelets.

jolly lichen
oak chasm
#

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.

jolly lichen
#

?

oak chasm
#

Like if she had 100 bracelets, that would also work.

#

That would be enough to give 32 people a bracelet, right?

jolly lichen
#

i think?

oak chasm
#

Well, think about the actual situation.

#

Let's say you want to give 32 people a bracelet.

jolly lichen
#

ye

oak chasm
#

If you have 100 bracelets, would that be enough to do that?

jolly lichen
#

yes

oak chasm
#

OK, so 32 works, but also 33, 34, 35, etc.

#

So, 5 + 4p has to be 32 or more.

#

Does that make sense?

jolly lichen
#

oh

#

like

#

_

oak chasm
#

Right.

jolly lichen
#

=>

oak chasm
#

5 + 4p >= 32.

jolly lichen
#

ok

#

just wanna make sure with a couple m,ore quesiton

#

cuz i have been stuck on two step ineqautlites for a long tim

oak chasm
#

OK.

jolly lichen
oak chasm
#

OK, so she needs 100 or more seashells, right?

jolly lichen
#

ye

#

so

oak chasm
#

Oh, wait.

#

It's "over 100 seashells", so it needs to be more than 100.

jolly lichen
#

100=34+12d

oak chasm
#

Almost.

jolly lichen
#

100>=34+12d

oak chasm
#

You're getting there.

#

Can it be exactly 100 if she "wants to collect over 100 seashells"?

jolly lichen
#

no

#

has to be over or equal

oak chasm
#

Well, it can't be equal to 100.

#

That means exactly 100 will work.

jolly lichen
#

wwhat?

oak chasm
#

Well, "over" means more than.

jolly lichen
#

no

#

u said it cant beequalt to 100

oak chasm
#

Right.

jolly lichen
#

that mean eactly will work

#

but how does that work

oak chasm
#

Equal means exactly the same.

#

Like 5 + 5 = 10 means that 5 + 5 is exactly the same number as 10.

jolly lichen
#

yes i know that

oak chasm
#

Does that make sense?

#

OK, so if she needs over 100, that means that she needs more than 100.

#

Exactly 100 won't work.

jolly lichen
#

so

oak chasm
#

Does that make sense?

jolly lichen
#

what

#

so 100

#

or 100 and more

#

cuz ur saying like diff stuf everytime

alpine sable
#

she wants MORE than 100

oak chasm
#

Right.

#

She wants over 100, which means more than 100.

#

More than is >.

jolly lichen
#

ok

#

i know

alpine sable
#

just a 100 wont do

oak chasm
#

OK, so you have something > 100.

#

34 + 12d > 100.

jolly lichen
#

what bout the graph the set ineqaulity thing

oak chasm
#

OK, so first you need to solve the inequality.

jolly lichen
#

k

#

man i mma just gget someone else

Help

lone heartBOT
untold hatch
#

Its harf

cinder tundra
#

In the middle is a minus or a product?

#

Start factorizing the numerator of the first fraction

left isle
#

factor both numerators and cancel some terms in the fractions before you subtract them (assuming it's subtraction)

untold hatch
left isle
#

oh that makes it much easier

cinder tundra
#

Now you can just factor both numerators

#

And you will get it

#

Do you know how can u factor both numerators?

untold hatch
#

I figured out

#

Only 4 steps thats all

#

X-2/x

Just use parenthesis

you have proved that they're congruent

#

right?

#

what do you think corresponding sides mean?

#

@ruby elbow

ruby elbow
#

hm

ruby elbow
ruby elbow
ruby elbow
#

if these two triangles are congruent

#

then

#

if we flip one onto another

#

that linear pair

#

should be corresponding angles

tulip bone
#

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

ruby elbow
tulip bone
#

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

ruby elbow
#

ok

#

hm

tulip bone
#

do you have a basic understanding now?

ruby elbow
#

im trying to draw what you said out

tulip bone
#

okay so

#

draw two congruent triangles

ruby elbow
#

wait

tulip bone
#

two equilateral triangles

ruby elbow
#

all of the sides are corresponding

tulip bone
#

good job

#

YES

ruby elbow
#

tho

tulip bone
#

THEY ARE

ruby elbow
#

ok

tulip bone
#

because if you put

#

one over the other

#

they'll overlap perfectly

ruby elbow
#

yes

#

but

#

what if you make one bigger than the other

tulip bone
#

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

ruby elbow
#

ah

#

ye

#

cause there is no aaa congruence

#

ok

#

btw

#

is step 3correct

ruby elbow
mortal magnet
# ruby elbow I'm confused with step 4

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

ruby elbow
#

there is no option

#

for angle ADC = angle DCE

#

lol

mortal magnet
#

did you read everything else around the spoiler you clicked

ruby elbow
#

yes

mortal magnet
#

bit telling that the only thing you talked about is the spoiler

ruby elbow
#

that's is what your point was

#

so I got to the point

mortal magnet
#

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

ruby elbow
#

hm

ruby elbow
#

is CD = DC the transversal

mortal magnet
#

you drew ED, EC, and AC

#

any of those three lines can act as the transversal

ruby elbow
#

how is EC

#

a transversal

#

it is on the like

#

line

mortal magnet
#

thats a typo

#

ED, DC, and AC

ruby elbow
#

ok

#

ima use DC

#

hm

mortal magnet
#

what do they give you as answer choices

ruby elbow
#

angle EDC congruent to ACD

#

brb

mortal magnet
#

really can tell you were only looking for that spoiler

ruby elbow
mortal magnet
#

angle ECD and angle DCE are the same exact angle

ruby elbow
#

ok

ruby elbow
#

can't

#

angle DCA congruent to

#

CDE work

mortal magnet
#

because that would prove that DE || CA instead

ruby elbow
#

how

mortal magnet
#

🤔

ruby elbow
#

i have no idea how any of this helps of solve how AB parallel to CE

mortal magnet
#

do you know what alternate interior angles are

ruby elbow
#

yes

mortal magnet
#

do you know that those alternate interior angles are between parallel lines and a transversal

ruby elbow
#

ye

mortal magnet
#

do you know that those dont involve any other kind of line

ruby elbow
#

hm

#

idk

mortal magnet
#

🤔 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

ruby elbow
#

those are included

mortal magnet
#

I literally said that

ruby elbow
#

ok

mortal magnet
#

do you want a solution so bad

ruby elbow
#

wym

mortal magnet
#

this is the second time you asked a question that would be answered if you read what I said

mortal magnet
ruby elbow
#

i am just confused with all this proofs and congruence stuff

mortal magnet
#

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

ruby elbow
mortal magnet
#

those angles yes

ruby elbow
#

so here

#

for

mortal magnet
#

I already said that twice

ruby elbow
#

ok

#

i see

#

that

#

angle ADC and ECD

#

don't touch any other line

#

the angle ADC only is touching

mortal magnet
#

you didnt seriously consider ADC and ECD before this, I see

ruby elbow
#

DC

#

and AB

ruby elbow
mortal magnet
#

so you didnt try

#

once I point out these things you already know, you suddenly know

ruby elbow
#

yes

#

where do I start?

#

by plugging in the numbers and finding the average?

surreal crystal
#

$$f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}, c\in[a,b]$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Cycadellic

then, f'(c) is the mean rate of change

flat lion
#

thanks gimme a bit to calc my answers

#

@surreal crystal is part b just asking the limit as t approaches 1?

surreal crystal
#

yeah

#

it looks like it just wants an approximation from the previous answers

flat lion
#

it says it's incorrect

#

are u able to check my math?

#

@surreal crystal

surreal crystal
#

im getting different answers

flat lion
#

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

surreal crystal
#

b is asking, specifically

#

$$\lim_{x\rightarrow 1} [1,x]$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Cycadellic

flat lion
surreal crystal
#

its asking for the rate of change at that point

#

by the way

#

if we put this limit into the mean value theorem

#

$$f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}, c\in[a,b]$$
$$f'(c)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(b+h)-f(b)}{b+h-b}, c\in[b,b+h]={b}$$
$$f'(b)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(b+h)-f(b)}{b+h-b}$$

its just asking for the derivative at that point

flat lion
#

I don't understand

surreal crystal
#

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

flat lion
#

how do I apply?

#

10.333?

#

or 10.3?

surreal crystal
#

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

flat lion
#

I wanna make sure tho

#

since I only have 3 attempts

surreal crystal
#

do you know how to find the derivative?

flat lion
#

haven't gotten to that part of calc 1

surreal crystal
#

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

flat lion
#

or can I just calc 1.0001?

#

just to make sure

surreal crystal
#

yeah

#

that sounds like a good idea

flat lion
#

10.2798

#

10.28 then ig?

surreal crystal
#

yeah

flat lion
#

pog

#

am I allowed to get help with the rest of my hw here?

surreal crystal
#

sure

#

i need to go to bed soon, though

#

but good luck

flat lion
#

what does a limit actually look on a graph?

last walrus
#

hi @flat lion are you around?

flat lion
#

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

last walrus
#

correct

#

try def and see if you get the idea

flat lion
#

how does 2 work?

#

left and right and middle all has diff values?

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?

flat lion
#

2?

last walrus
#

yea that is correct

#

and from the right side?

flat lion
#

0?

last walrus
#

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

flat lion
#

what about when x approaches 2?

#

wouldn't it be 1?

#

or does it also not exist?

last walrus
#

it would be DNE since the two one sided limits are different

last walrus
flat lion
#

but 3 is also defined as well no?

last walrus
#

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?

limpid turret
#

Are you asking why angle-side-side is not a congruence theorem?

ocean whale
#

Are you referring to this?

#

Ignore that page number, because I pulled that from google

long belfry
#

I think so @ocean whale

#

Could you help me undertand this?

ocean whale
#

Where are you confused? The figures should help with it

#

Finding side a occurs after using law of sines/cosines

long belfry
#

Do any of the figures correspond to a number of solutions?

ocean whale
#

Yes, it corresponds to 2, 1, or no solutions

long belfry
#

Ok ty

ocean whale
#

As it describes below each figure

long belfry
#

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?

ocean whale
#

If a >= b, it's only one solution

long belfry
#

doesnt seem like the figure reflects that?

ocean whale
#

You should know that "figures aren't to scale"

long belfry
#

but a is clearly not higher or equal to b in fig 2?

ocean whale
#

figures aren't to scale

limpid turret
#

I think Fig 2. meant to say a=h

long belfry
ocean whale
#

That could be it too, like I said I pulled it from google

limpid turret
#

(A mistake I make often, myself)

ocean whale
#

This might be better

#

In conjugation with the other one too

#

hi, what does the little + or – exponent thingy mean here? is the 4 in b different from the 4 in c?

unique imp
#

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

vagrant basin
#

help

lone heartBOT
vagrant basin
#

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

smoky dagger
#

so you want to find the number of gray lines overlaying with a red line.. given its index (the red line's index)?

vagrant basin
#

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

vagrant basin
smoky dagger
#

..

#

i almost got the solution but i lost my pen

vagrant basin
lone heartBOT
#

@vagrant basin Has your question been resolved?

smoky dagger
#

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

lone heartBOT
#

@vagrant basin Has your question been resolved?

smoky dagger
#

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.

fathom heron
#

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.

fathom heron
#

I am confused on how to solve the area

livid sage
#

(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)

fathom heron
#

how would I set up my proportion?

#

would it be 1/3=144/1, although i don't thihk thats right

livid sage
#

what do you calculate for the perimeter of the smaller shape

fathom heron
#

i did 1/3=78/1

livid sage
#

what is that

fathom heron
#

a proportion i set up

livid sage
#

where is your variable

fathom heron
#

to solve for perimeter

#

oh

livid sage
#

how are you using that to solve for perimeter?

fathom heron
#

wait i write proprotions weird

#

so 1 is actulaly

#

x

livid sage
#

which 1 there are 2

fathom heron
#

1/3=78/x

#

mb

livid sage
#

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?

fathom heron
#

yea i understand that

#

ill fix that

livid sage
#

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

fathom heron
#

so you're squaring the scale factor?

livid sage
#

pretty much yes

fathom heron
#

alr and then?

livid sage
#

can you set up the equation to solve for the new area?

fathom heron
#

1/9=78/x

#

which is 702 right?

livid sage
#

two things

fathom heron
#

so A= 702 units^2

#

oh

livid sage
#

first, you made the same mistake as the first time

#

second, the area of the larger polygon is 144 not 78

fathom heron
#

oh ok

livid sage
fathom heron
#

yes my second fraction was flipped the wrong way

livid sage
#

when you have an equation that compares two ratios, you want the individual parts of the fractions to match

fathom heron
#

so would it be 1/9=x/144?

livid sage
#

yep that's right

fathom heron
#

ok thank you

stiff harness
#

Why is this problem DNE? I'm a bit confused with open circle graph limits.

stiff harness
#

I thought it would be 1, but it's DNE which is confusing me

naive valley
#

what was your reasoning for why it's 1

stiff harness
#

I had the assumption that it would be the closed dot on 0

#

y value 1 on x value 0

naive valley
#

that closed dot means that the value at x=0 is 1

#

i.e. g(0) = 1

stiff harness
#

right

naive valley
#

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

stiff harness
#

i'm still a bit confused with that

naive valley
#

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)

stiff harness
#

I see

naive valley
#

the graph has to approach the same y value from both sides in order for that y value to be the limit

stiff harness
#

OHHH

naive valley
#

(or for the limit to exist at all)

stiff harness
#

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

naive valley
#

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

stiff harness
#

gotcha, okay

#

thank you so so much, i understand now hahaha

balmy grail
#

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

near harbor
#

So C is 180?

balmy grail
#

No

#

95+75+105+x=360

near harbor
#

So C is 80?

#

Or am I wrong again

balmy grail
#

So what did you do from what I sent you?

#

Show your work

near harbor
#

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

What does independent mean to you?

versed walrus
#

The occurence of one event doesn't affect the occurrence of the other event?

grizzled aspen
#

okay

#

so just take that information at face* value

#

and re-read the question aloud to yourself

versed walrus
#

The answer is 36% though

#

It doesn't rlly make sense

grizzled aspen
#

okay

#

so

#

the chance that one runs doesnt affect the other

#

but they can BOTH run

#

does that help?

versed walrus
#

hmm

#

not rlly

grizzled aspen
#

okay

#

in isolation

#

what % of the time does hilary run?

versed walrus
#

45%

grizzled aspen
#

okay

versed walrus
#

45-9

grizzled aspen
#

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?

versed walrus
#

45*20

#

right

grizzled aspen
#

right

#

well 0.45*0.20

#

yes

versed walrus
#

yep

#

meant % my bad

grizzled aspen
#

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

versed walrus
#

gotcha

grizzled aspen
#

so thats all your question is

#

what is the chance that ONLY hilary runs

#

and not this other guy

versed walrus
#

you'd subtract 45% from the middle of venn diagram right

#

thats how i visualize it

grizzled aspen
#

I would just picture it no differently to the example above

#

or to the multiple coin flips

#

what is the chance she runs?

versed walrus
#

ok

grizzled aspen
#

what is the chance he doesnt?

#

and do the product

versed walrus
#

so 0.45*0.8?

grizzled aspen
#

yep

versed walrus
#

Gotcha

#

And question 4?

grizzled aspen
#

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)

versed walrus
#

tbh still confused w/ 4

grizzled aspen
#

what does the question want you to find?

#

start there

versed walrus
#

probability that they pick either 2 girls or 2 boys

grizzled aspen
#

okay

#

lets start with 2 girls

versed walrus
#

ok

grizzled aspen
#

what is the chance that the first selection is a girl (given the question says we are randomly selecting, not voting)

versed walrus
#

3/9

#

1/3

grizzled aspen
#

okay

#

then, what is the chance that the second one is a girl?

versed walrus
#

2/8

grizzled aspen
#

so what is the chance that those two events occur in a row?

versed walrus
#

6/72

#

or 1/12

grizzled aspen
#

yes

#

then

#

repeat for boys

versed walrus
#

ok

#

6/9

#

then 5/8

#

so 5/12

grizzled aspen
#

yup

#

so

#

what is the total probability?

versed walrus
#

then multiply?

grizzled aspen
#

are we asking if they are both going to occur

versed walrus
#

oh

#

1/2

grizzled aspen
#

or are we asking if either one will occur?

versed walrus
#

umm

#

either

grizzled aspen
#

right

versed walrus
#

its not asking for both

grizzled aspen
#

so

versed walrus
#

so addition, not multiply right

grizzled aspen
#

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

versed walrus
#

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

grizzled aspen
#

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

#

thanks. have a gday

grizzled aspen
#

no worries, just make sure u read over the above info and think about it (in venn and tree etc) ^^

versed walrus
#

bet that bro

#

preciate u

grizzled aspen
#

will help u for future questions if you get it

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

rich quiver
royal kiln
#

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

rich quiver
#

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

lone heartBOT
upbeat eagle
#

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
