@sleek timber Has your question been resolved?
first of all, you should be careful of the subtitution you are applying
$u = \frac 19 \ln x \implies u^2 = \frac 1{9^2} \ln^2 x$
shsgd
instead, you want
[u=\frac 13 \ln x]
[dx = 3x du]
[ \implies \int \frac 1{\sqrt{1-u^2}}du ]
shsgd
for the first term
Oh yeah
with the same substitution for the second integral:
[ \int \frac 1{2x}\cdot \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{1-\frac 19 \ln^2 x}}dx ]
[ = \int \frac {3x}{2x}\cdot \frac{3u}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}du ]
[ = \frac 92 \int \frac u{\sqrt{1-u^2}}du ]
shsgd
so now you have
[ \int \frac 1{\sqrt{1-u^2}}du - \frac 92 \int \frac u{\sqrt{1-u^2}}du ]
shsgd

Find the surface integral of the paraboloid z=4-3x^2-3y^2 when 1<z<4 and the vector field F is (2xy^2, -y^3/3, z(1-y^2))
So far here is what I have:
I take paremeterize the 4-3x^2-3y^2 to get <rcos, rsin, 4-3r^2>
I take the partial derivative dr and dθ
to get cosθ, sinθ, -6r and -rsinθ, rcosθ, 0
then I take the cross product of those and get 6r^2cosθ, 6r^2sinθ, rcos^2(θ)+rsin^2(θ)
then I dot product that with my vector feild, converted into my cords using <rcos, rsin, 4-3r^2> to get:
12 r^5 cos^2(x) sin^2(x) - 2 r^5 sin^4(x) + r (4 - 3 r^2 (1 - r^2 sin^2(x)))
then i take this integral ∫0 to 2pi∫0 to 1[12 r^5 cos^2(x) sin^2(x) - 2 r^5 sin^4(x) + r (4 - 3 r^2 (1 - r^2 sin^2(x)))] drdx
which i think is my surface integral
and i get 13pi/4
xd
can i get some more elaboration? i dont get what that is saying
lol?

im pretty sure my answer is either supposed to be 3pi/2 or pi, but really dont see what im doing that wrong to not get there
oh wait you gave me stokes theorem
sadly i need to use surface integrals
the whole problem was calculating divergence theorem, and for part b, im supposed to verify the divergence theorem by directly computing the surface integrals

(BC)^-1 isnt always the same as B^-1C^-1
A^T*(A^T)^-1 = I, then you get (BC)^-1 BC^2
BC^2 = (BC)C by associativity
so u get (BC)^-1(BC)C
(AB)^-1 = B^-1A^-1
oh yeah ur right sry i misread

x € [-3,3]
?
Domain of x
[-3,3]
Since the polynomial is in root
So the polynomial should be >=0
What's ur ans ?
Red
Underlined
Is the domain I got
I just got two values and didn’t know what to do
Like ofc after graphing it I can see why the domain is what it is
It's correct

anyone know how to do this question?
i don't know where to start because it doesnt say anything about a changing rate
its asking for area tho ;-; idk how to maximize it
u want A(L)
find the vertex of the parabola
you have 2W + L = 820
so L = 820 - 2W
since A = L*W
then A = (820 - 2W)*W
solve for the maximum value in the parabola, then you have W
and plug it into equation to find L
do i do it the other way around?

how many trees are possible from n vertices that have exactly n-2 leaves?
@chilly dagger Has your question been resolved?
you're mostly just picking where the extra vertex goes and how many leaves are under it, since you already have the head and n-2 leaves
hypothetically you put some into a and the rest into b
b can't be 0, so there's n−2 options
but if this is not a tree then there's something else going on
U mean like the one on the right?
But for like 6 vertices like the one i sent, wouldnt both the left and the right be different as well
Yea like if u take one of the nodes attached to red and attach it to the black root instead wouldnt it count as a different tree or no?
different tree yea
you pick how many go under red, then pick where red goes
if there's n nodes and k under red, there are (n-k-1) spots it can go)
@chilly dagger Has your question been resolved?
so is it like every node except root has n-k-1 spots it can go? so its like total is n*(n-k+1)?
it changes depending on how big the red is
like if it's most things under red it can only go in like 2 or 3 spots, so it's not a simple multiplication
I'd probably just write it out for n=6 and see what it looks like, but it's related to 1+2+3+...+x=x(x+1)/2

i have a math project for graphing and im supposed to draw some stuff on my ti 84 plus ce but i cant figure out why its unable to draw a circle for me , ive tried the semi circle equation , expressing standard form in terms of y = ... , but they all dont work TT if anyone could help would be greatly appreciated
check your window settings
ah it looks like this
press "zoom" and select "zstandard", see if it looks more normal after that
ohh ok ill try that
also try this
it still looks odd w semicircle equation TT ill try expressing the standard equation in terms of y = ..
can you show the equation?
ouh yea give me a sec
- it's too far left, we want to adjust our x-values. go to window and select Xmin = -20, xmax = 0
- we want it to look "circular", rather than stretched out. go to zoom and select Zsquare
ouh yea its starting to look more like a circle just incomplete
i managed to get the bottom half but uh its kinda disconnected
ohh well will i just have to work with this 🥲 i hv to do a drawing on my gc for my school project and it requires a bunch of circles
if you go to "apps" there may be a "conics" app
where can i find apps
the button
oh is it only for use for 1 graph though ? is it possible to add more graphs to it
only seems to support one circle at a time unfortunately. the only other thing I can think of is to use parametric equations for them (this is how the ti-84 does it for the conics program, internally). alternatively if you don't care about the equations (just the shapes) you can use cabrijr (also in apps)

What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
im typing
my
steps
pal
g(5x+1)=5x+12
let y=5x+1 ==> x=(y-2)/5
g(y) = 5((y-1)/5) + 12
=y-2+12
=y+10
so g(x) turns 5x+2 into 5x+12
I think g is x+10
but the answer is
fg x x ( ) = + 5 52
f(x+10)
which of my steps is wrong
where is the y coming from
^
Can someone help me?
just look at how g transforms f
g adds 10 to f
so g(x) = x+10
and now you have f(g(x)) = f(x+10)
why is g x+10 ?
X²+4x-2x-8
x(x+4)-2(x+4)
How how ? Like how +4?
because g adds 10 to f
gf :x+12
See ur f function, it needs+10 to become the gf function,so g :x+12
yea i know
how do i write in my answer sheets
i know ur solutions i just wanna know how do i writee in the answer paper 
cause if i write g=x+10 my teachers would just mark me wrong
and that would be ok, as youre not asked to write g. you are asked answer fg.
but i need to write the whole solution
from the top to the bottom
:0 thanks
Hope this helps
!nosols
As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
i just need to know how to get rid of f 
i got the solutions that use a new variable 'y'
I think u can solve it by own now
but this solution can't be used
on this question
Just observe the pattern
what does g do to (x-2) to turn it into that polynomial
it has to multiply it by something
Can't i make it a new variable to solve?
i used it on almost all of my other questions
but i can't seem to use it on this question only
Use completing the square
U will find g:x²+4
If u square x-2 and add 4 , u get gf so g = var²+4

bro
why isnt this -tan^2x
I thought with a natural log u could do u'/u
so I did -sin^2(x)/cos^2(x)
which is why I got -tan^2x
but apparently its A
the key says A
you have to apply the chain rule to the derivative of cos^2(x)
,, \frac{2 \cos x (-\sin x)}{\cos^2 x}
cloud
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
so u still use that natural log formula
but to find the derivative of u
u gotta use the chain rule
got it

Is there an easy trick to find the common denominator with fractional x?
Could you elaborate your question? As Im understanding the question, you only need to multiply by 1, and changing that one by y/y, where y=what you need to make denominator equal
Here’s a more simplified version of my question
How do you go from the left to the right?
You want to do only left, right?
My teacher wants common denominator
Yeah starting from left side
Ok so my question is
How do you know that ‘6’ power goes on the denominator?
There’s gotta be a way/method to find that out
I actually got another solution so give me a moment in case i am not looking correctly
No this is wrong
You are missing a minus
Before x^(15/4)
You first do the fractions normally
You will get in the denominator x^(14/3)
After that, you multiply numerator and denominator by the thing that will make x^(14/3) = x^6
Which is x^(4/3)

My math question is or what I think is trigonometry, and the topic is about "Modeling with Functions". My class has just started this and I wanted to get a head start since my teacher is a intern and the way he teaches isn't really helpful.
Some examples of the work we did are shown on the image, I just want to have a good understanding on it and we have to memorize the linear formula, and what a linear graph looks like and etc like different types of graphs... I hope this isn't too much, hopefully someone can help me, thank you for your time.

I did then got (2x+1)(2x+1)
4u^2 - 4u + 1 = 0
yeah that should be (2u+1)(2u+1) right
so u = 1/2
yeah for cosx=1/2
wait shouldn't it be -1/2?
no its not u=-1/2
sorry i meant
its not u = -0.5
its u = 0.5
perhaps u did the factorisation wrong?
honestly I kinda forgot how to factor so that was my best guess
I don't know if it is called the +x method but I didn't use the quadratic formula
AC method*
did you do 4 multiplied by 1
and then work out what two numbers add to get -4
I tried that then forgot what to do
so it would be -2 and -2
then it would be 4x^2-2x-2x+1
yes
then it would be (-2x+1)(-2x+1)?
yeah so it would be positive 1/2
correct or you could do (2x-1)(2x-1)
yes
so do you understand how to do it now? @agile blade
then cos would equally everything on the unit circle that is 1/2 so pi/3 and 5pi/3
yes
great
thanks I completly forgot how to factor

so it is acceptable to use the table values
yeah?
yeah i think so
now reverse the sub back
so theta/2 = pi/3 + pin
and after solving for theta consider the domain
0<=theta<=2pi

Is this right?
close, you also have to consider that (-1)^n
if you want to use your way, you can use that if you show the absolute convergence of the series
which in tern means that the original series would also converge
I don’t know what other test I could use I know for sure I can’t use the direct comparison test or limit comparison
alternating series test
For alternating series test limit as n approaches infinity should be 0 and a decreasing sequence
oh wait right
divergence test would do fine
just include that (-1)^n and compute the limit again
I’m not familiar with limits involving (-1)^n
so it’s essentially the same as what you had there, but whether the result is negative or positive depends on what infinity is
either even or odd
since we don’t know that, the limit as n approaches infinity will alternate between -2/5 and 2/5
hence the limit would not exist
So if I take the limit of something with a (-1)^n term is it safe to say it will always diverge
not always
if the other part, not including the (-1)^n, goes to 0
the limit would exist
not really
i think 1/n*(-1)^n would converge for example
Going back to the absolute convergence test if I did use that test the (-1)^n term disappears and the series would diverge so what does that tell me about my og series
nothing
yeah it would be inconclusive
so the only way is just the divergence test
In this case is the divergence test the easy way out. The ratio test would be a hassle
yeah definitely
Because I thought for the divergence test you excluded the alternating part
If I used the divergence test for this a_n what would it be
If it was a regular 1/n it goes to 0
yep
and that would too
since the (-1)^n only alternates between -1 and 1
it can’t get bigger than that
Can I say if limit as n approaches infinity of a_n converges then limit as n approaches infinity of (-1)^n a_n should also converge and vice versa
only the first part
(-1)^n a_n converging doesn’t say anything about a_n
only if it is the other way around then it’ll be correct
Does this also work for divergence
for divergence then it would be if (-1)^n a_n diverges, then a_n must diverge
not the other way around
I don't recall learning this in specific unless it's applied in some other context
think of the direct comparison test
(-1)^n a_n would be smaller than a_n
so if the smaller one diverges, the bigger one must diverge
and if the bigger one converges, the smaller one must converge
Wait you can use direct comparison for an alternating series?
I think so
well maybe don’t put the name direct comparison test on it then
This what I remember
$$0 \le a_n \le b_n $$
Unknown
If sum of bn converges then sum of a_n has to converge too
yep
so the thing is our (-1)^n a_n isn’t really always less than 0
it is sometimes greater than 0
so we can’t really use this logic i suppose
think back to absolute and conditional convergence
if we deem that our original series diverges, then there is no way that the absolute value of it would converge
since whatever that sum of our original series is, the absolute value version would be much bigger as we are adding more terms instead of subtracting
I might be wrong but this what I recall
yeah that’s right
but there wasn’t a single case
where a_n diverges and |a_n| converges
it wouldn’t make much sense since for the absolute value, we would be adding all of the terms instead of subtracting some of them
Do you know where I can find practice of limits with these alternating components or the name of it
hmm you can try alternating series test problems
but instead of using that, use the divergence test
to see if it works
I’m just making a random example but where could I go with this
I know the second limit goes to infinity
yeah so we know that
since (-1)^n goes between -1 and 1
as n gets closer to infinity
it’ll alternate between negative infinity and positive infinity
hence the limit doesn’t exist
@proud wyvern Has your question been resolved?
So why does $$\lim_{ n \to \infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n}$$
Become a special case
Unknown
Or well, I'm talking about the sum
I found this online and looks similar to my situation
mm that doesn’t seem right
the divergence test doesn’t ignore the negative
but regardless, it would diverge by it
it’s just that the work is slightly wrong
Instead, what should the work be
with the (-1)^n
I can't seem to wrap my head around this
you would do $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{(-1)^n(5n-1)}{4n+1}$
y0shi
and the limit would not exist
hence that is not equal to 0 and diverges by the the divergence test
Is there a way to show the $$\lim_{ n \to \infty} (-1)^n $$ in general
Unknown
so here’s the thing, you technically cannot separate the limit into two products as that requires both limits to exist
but this limit doesn’t
so you kinda just have to think of this more conceptually
imagine we have a really big number that is odd
the sequence would give us a number close to -5/4
the next term would give us a number close to 5/4 since it would be even
I was thinking of using natural logs in the limit like the e limit but the (-1) could be a problem
so it depends on whether our “big number” is even or odd
yeah don’t do that
limits are conceptual
no work needs to be shown
you can jump from here to DNE
but you have to understand why it is
Only way I see it is if the sequence is a_n =(-1)^n then the sequence diverges
yes and that’s because it’ll alternate between -1 and 1 when n gets extremely large
the same idea applies to when you have other bits attached to it
it’ll essentially just be what the limit would be when that other part goes to infinity but it will alternate between negative and positive because of the (-1)^n
In this case the (-1)^n term takes over?
Closed due to timeout
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
.reopen
✅
well the (-1)^n term alternates between -1 and 1
hence making the other bit either positive or negative
so if that other part, as it approaches infinity, goes to 5/4
the limit would alternate between -5/4 and 5/4 because of that (-1)^n
the (-1)^n term just basically alternates the terms between positive and negative
I was about to say, why isn't $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n} =\infty$$
Unknown
well because as n gets really big
the 1/n bit would go to 0
so it doesn’t matter if it switches between -1 and 1
since it’ll just be -0 and 0 which is just 0
makes a little more sense so basically it depends on the terms that don't include the (-1)^n
yeah basically
Well, thanks again for helping me on this scenario. Not sure if it's against the rules but I might make another help channel for another problem

how would i write df/dg in lagrange notation
f'(g)?
where g is a function as well
..nevermind
thanks
so basically
the chain rule in leibniz notation (if we switch the letters around) is df/dg*dg/dx
f'(x)/g'(x)

How to find median of this stem leaf plot
This is what I did
Someone pls come here
<@&286206848099549185>
Bro Ik u see this
I’m cooked fr
Do u know how to read a stem and leaf plot
Yes
Do u understand the concept of median
The answer key
Ok but like Stem - leaf graphs are the worst way to show data
what does it say
8.5
Yes
OHHHHHHH NVM
So the median is the “8.5th” term

is there easier way to solve this other than brute forcing?
you can definitely simplify this further
im not too familaiar with column operations, but if you subtract row 1 from the rest of the rows
you should have 0's in the first column besides row 1
this makes it a 3x3
for row operations, if two rows are interchanged, the determinant switches in sign, but for adding and subtracting rows, the determinant is unaffected

how do i find the probability that a thrown dart will hit somewhere inside the shaded region? i got pi / 4
what i did
A of shaded = 6^2 = 36
A of circle = pi (3^2) = 9 pi
Probability of shaded = 9 pi / 36 = pi / 4
the area of the shaded would be 36 - 9π
dont u have to find the area of the entire shaded region
so you can find the probability
!status
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin.
2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
@alpine sable
4
okay so i think A of shaded is calculated wrong
how so
see area of shaded will be everything in square except the circle inscribed in it
ok
do you get what i am saying?
yes
now calc. again
63 - 9 pi
now you have shaded region area
and also the total area
so prob will be shaded / total
and thats your answer
now calculate final answer
-9 pi
can probability be negative?
according to google, no
then you have calculated it wrong
0.215 is the answer
how come?
its not
doesent it need to be in a form like "1-x" since all probabilites add up to 1
yes, if u calculate the prob of unshaded region it will be 0.785
and sum of them is 1
so would it be 1-0.785?
yes this is also an alternative way to answer this
calculate unshaded subtract it from 1 you will get shadeds prob.
now i get it
but keep in mind this seems easy in only those questions who has binary possible outcomes
dont try to use this in more than 2 possible outcomes question
ok ill keep that in mind
you can always ask about P(not A) though
your P(A) and P(not A) is "binary" and will always add up to 1
oh
like P(roll a 1 on a fair 6 sided dice) and P(not roll a 1 on a fair 6 sided dice)
yes you can roll other things as well but you can group them all into the "not 1" event

y=4x^{2}-48x+7
hiii
helo
this or y=4x(x-12)+7
hmm
alright
so
lets get this into a(x-h)^2+k (vertex form)
complete the square for x^2-12x
hmm idk what to do for that
lets recall something okay
ok
(x-a)^2=?
x^2+a^2
yes
9th
ok makes sense
mb 😭
8th rn
ohh
anyways, back to the question
completing the square
so
a is just some real number okay
some constant
so, a^2 is a constant as well
now lets take a look at the -2ax term again
and then at your factoring so far
y=4(x^2-12x)+7
lets complete the square for x^2-12x, then subtract the constant that we added (a^2)
first, we try to find a, then find a^2 right
do that
so how would it look
-12x is -2ax
find a, then a^2
6?
36
yes
sorry mb
so
back to y=4(x^2-12x)+7
now lets complete the square and add 36 so that we can make it (x-6)^2, and turn it into vertex form
but wait, we can't change the equation
so we must subtract what we add
from 7?
yes
4(x-6)^2+7-36*4
huh
4(x^2-12x+36)+7-4*36
so
you know what here's a vid that'll help

How do you isolate dy/dx here?
yoou pass the under part to the other side mmultiplying
then the y goes witha negative sign to the left
then u can bring the left sided dy/dx dividing
You mean this?
This just cancels out dy/dx tho
I wanted to isolate for it
ah ok mb one sec
on the second line
move -y to the right
move dy/dx to the left
factor out a dy/dx
Yeah just noticed, and fixed it based on what you said
But dy/dx still needs to be isolated tho
ignore the first 2 lines
okay you know what
,,\frac{dy}{dx}(u)-y=x\frac{dy}{dx}
Renz
you have this right
maybe i made other mistakes along the way but here's the original question
u is the e^y xy ln3 thingy
