can someone offer me an intuitive explanation of why if you have 3 vectors u, v, w, det(u, v, w) = sqrt(det((u, v, w)^2)
i dont think this is proper notation but by (u, v, w)^2 i mean that the diagonal entries are u dot u, v dot v, and w dot w
what is det(u, v, w)??
uhhh i dont know the notation either but its just taking those 3 vectors as columns
so u v and w are 3D vectors?
yes
what?
!xy
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.
okay sure
well thats true if they are orthogonal but I am not sure if its true otherwise
that's what I thought
the question also seems incomplete
so what they did is they found the pairwise dot products between u, v, and w
what vector does (u+v) represent?
vector with length sqrt(31)
so that's all they did
sqrt(21) or sqrt(31)
yeah
if you have a matrix A=(u,v,w) and multiply it by A^t from the left, then the entries of that product are all the pairwise dot products
sorry, im just confused as to why theyre taking the square root of the determinant
because of what denascite said
and det(A^t A)=det(A^t) det(A)=det(A)^2
ohhhh i see i see
and you want to find det(A)
it's a pretty nice solution
yeah :)
i tried using vectors but got stuck because getting the exact values of u, v, w was too tedious
thanks!
yeah very nice how they dodged around getting the values of u,v,w
you can probably do this with pure trigonometry too
another good idea is to consider the tetrahedron thats formed by a point and its 3 neighbours because its 1/6 of the total
1/6 th or 1/2?
I have terrible visualization tho ;-;
the tetrahedron with 1/6 of the total area
ah okay I see what you are talking about now

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
But it seems like a straightforward vector arithmetics.
If you don't know that, then writing out the midpoint formula is a good place to start.
I just want to confirm it is the right answer like I need to answer
People won't/can't give you the answer here
But they can help if you show your work and your thought process
Or if you show the answer you got sometimes people might be willing to confirm it.
But checking peoples work is incredibly boring and tedious so that can be hit or miss.

C be the curve of intersection of the hemisphere x^2+y^2+z^2=2ax and the cylinder x^2+y^2=2bx , where 0<b<a ; how to evaluate ∫C(y^2+z^2)dx+(x^2+z^2)dy+(x^2+y^2)dz using Stoke's theorem
Now I tried this way, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain how to do this using Stokes as well

@halcyon mason Has your question been resolved?
My guess is you would wanna turn this into a line integral and then by Stokes you can turn that line integral into a double integral, where you integrate over the intersection region and you'd need the curl
It looks curl f is turning out to be nice
(-4, -4, -4)
Now we would need a parameterization for the intersection region to calculate the normal vector

I am unfamiliar of what (f/g) means would that entail that I need to devide the functions?
If I do need to devide the functions how would I do that?
It is $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$
MetuMortis
Do I need to find the domain of each function individually?
Then write the period in which the value of x is okay for both functions f and g?
Find domain of f(x) and 1/g(x) then Intersection of those ranges is the answer
You can also do $h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ and find the domain of the h(x)

If f and g are two polynomials in Z[x] and h is the gcd of the polynomials f and g over Z[x] then for every a integer number h(a)=gcd(f(a),g(a))?
@tired raft Has your question been resolved?
the gcd is defined up to a multiplicative constant
and I think gcd(2,x+1) = 1 yet gcd(2,1+1) = 2

a is a positive integers such thst 100a+64 and 201a+64 are squares less than 10000, find a
choices are 17,18,19,20,21
up to a unit ❗❗❗
well if you're given choices you can just try them
but that's not the spirit I guess
actually thats not a horrible idea
a right?
the only squares that end with 4 are 2 and 8
the only close numbers to ans choice are 42^2 only
try to subtract the two equations
you end up with n² - m² = 101a
101 happens to be prime
maybe that's useful

100a+64=x^2
201a+64=y^2
(201a+64)-(100a+64)=y^2-x^2=101a
(y+x)(y-x)=101a
Note that 101 is prime. Do you see what you can do from there?
no ^_^
What does 101 being prime tell us about the possible values of the (y+x) and (y-x)?

Also theres
squares less than 10000
that makes this even more specific

@woven hornet Has your question been resolved?
y-x=1 sorry didnt see
y+x=101
y=51 x=50
but that doesent work?
Where did y-x=1 come from? And why does y+x have to be the one that equals 101
You're right that one of them have to equal 101 (or rather one has to be a multiple of 101 and x and y have to be less than 100 which means that 101 is the only option)
does it even make a diffrence? in the end its either (50,51) or (-50,51)
oh nvm
one of them has to be 101 times some factor a (it could be 1) nd the other to be a/the factor of a

Let ( f(x) ) be continuous on the interval [0,1], and ( f(0) = f(1) ). Prove that there exists at least one point ( \xi ) in [0,1] such that
[ f(\xi) = f\left(\xi + \frac{1}{n} \right). ]
miyo
status 1
for every n ?
n∈N*
doesn t look to reasonable
Let $f(x) = x + 1$. Clearly $f(0) = 1$ and $f$ is continuous. However, $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N} .\quad f(\zeta) \ne f(\zeta + \frac{1}{n})$$
sorry, it say that for every n there is a \xi such that bla bla doesn't it ?
Shuba
f(1) is not equal to f(0)
Ah, I missteaad that.
yes it is ... I was replaying to the prvious answer
Misread
if you don't know where to start, define the difference of those two quantities, find the domain and the values at the boundaries
Oh, wait. you're asking this? $$\forall; n \in \mathbb{N} .; \exists; \xi \in [0,1] .; f(\xi) = f(\xi + \frac{1}{n})$$
Shuba
It's a "for all n, there exist a xi such that ...", not "there exists a xi such that for all n ..."
@cerulean grove Has your question been resolved?
You can say that, but they didn't emphasize the behavior of n as you can see in the context of the question
n is just a random positive integer
@cerulean grove Has your question been resolved?
^
Also remember that f has a min/max at (0, 1) by rolles theorem
Ok so the domain of F(x), the difference function, is [0,1-1/n]
F(0)=f(0)-f(1/n)
F(1-1/n)=f(1-1/n)-f(1)
Umm
So we want F(0)F(1-1/n)<0?
miyo do you now a little bit of topology ?
no but I find a tricy way ...actually every Q about continuos functions could be answered easier with topology
but if there is also some differential stuff inside the question then you need also some calculus stuff
I'll prove something stronger: $f\in C^0[0,1] $ such that $f(0)=f(1)$
everg
then for every $1>r>0 $ there exist $x, y\in [0,1] $ such that $|x-y|=r$ and $f(x)=f(y)$
everg
sure, how to prove it?
ok i give it up
is there something not clear for you ?
almost everything
what does this graph mean?
is not a graph ... it is the set D inside R^2
however I translated this method for someone that know only calculus
I ll write it after my lunch
Thank you !
assume $f(x)\ge 0$, then let s define $g(x)=f(x)-f(x+r)$ with $x\in [0,1-r]$
everg
hence $g(0)=-f(r)\le 0$ (with equality we are done) wlog $g(0)<0$
everg
$g(1-r)=f(1-r)-0\ge 0 $ (with equality we are done again) wlog $g(1-r)>0$
everg
so there exist some $\xi$ between such that $g(\xi)=0$
everg
if is not clear why you can assume f >=0 ,ìlet me know... i ll write you later

how does a circle change if the equation is changed by -x or -y. For example what happens if the circle x^2+y^2=25 becomes x^2+y^2-x=25
Here is a little hint:
Add 1/4 to both sides
(x^2 - x + 1/4) + y^2 = 25 + 1/4
why are we adding 1/4
completing the square
note that x^2 - x + 1/4 is a perfect square
and we added the 1/4 to make it as such
+k?
i need to find it as a part b to the question
I see, so they are asking for a circle of specific radius?
or whats the actual question?
yes a range
i have an idea on how to solve now though
first i need to find the centre of the circle first
so would I add 9 and 25 to complete a square
ok so (x-3)^2+(y+5)^2=36-k
so centre is 3,-5
Wait 36?
34
stupid mistake
so it says that circle does not cut or touch the x axis
so radius must be less than 5
34-k<25
also in case you don't alllow degenerate circles (circles with radius <= 0) make sure to include lower bound on k as well

Would this be an okay method to solve this question?
multiply and divide by iota
I think that's supposed to be the imaginary unit, i
if so,
then I have some interesting information
Go ahead
i = sqrt(-1) right?
Yes
and i^4?
i⁴=1
ok, so here's another question
what's the defining property of a reciprocal?
in other words, if you have a number, let's call it x, what is 1/x?
as in what property does x * 1/x have?
=1
ok
now i^4 = 1
which means i * i^3 = 1
which means -i = 1/i
so if you have 2/i, you actually have -2i
does this make sense?
Another way to see that is to take
1/i and multiply by i/i
like i said
that's the answer that I arrived at
Yes thanks but I didn't understand u at first I'm not familiar to taking math in english
Using numbers helps me better understand
Thanks for ur efforts

Ive been struggeling with writing my own mathematical function and would like help to figure out how i write it on my own.
I have been given the following information:
The drug will be out of the system in 2.5 days.
One dosis is 25 mg.
The person stops taking the drug after one dosis.
I tried plotting it in geogebra but its not making sense in my mind.
my guess would be f(x)=-2.5x+25
but then the second task is to deem when the drug would not register in a testing if the testing doesnt register anything below 3mg
what is the function supposed to do?
MæthIsAlwaysRight
:bending_skull:
its supposed to "describe the amount of drug in a persons body(as mg) as a function of time (as days)"
wait so on the day 0, the person should have 25mg of thc in blood?
and on the day 2.5 the person should have 0mg?
and the drug escapes the system linearly?
it translates as "half-time"? idk if that makes sense
sorry im translating from danish
can you send the og question?
in danish
we need sir mikkel
is sir mikkel awake ma'am?
@peak bough sir are you woke?
I am very awaken, yes.
that means that after 2.5 days, there will be only 25/2mg of thc in the system
this ma'am has a question in danish
Hej Byggemand Bob, hvad er din tvivl (don't translate this, Austin)? Så er sir Mikkel her for at hjælpe.
XD tak
jeg forstår ikke hvordan jeg skal opskrive en funktion for det her
Okay, læser lige. 2 sekunder 
oki doki
Okay. Begrebet "halveringstid" betegner hvor lang tid der går før mængden er halveret. Det vil sige, der går 2,5 døgn før personen går fra 25mg THC til 12,5mg THC. Bemærk at vi kommer fra 12,5 ved at sige 12,5 = 25 · ½. Det betyder så også at vi går fra 12,5 til 12,5 · ½ = 6,25 når der så går 2,5 døgn mere.
nåååh
Bemærk her at anden halvering også kunne skrives som 6.25 = ½ · (½ · 25) = (½)² · 25, da vi jo blot har ganget med ½ for hver gang vi halverer!
Altså, vil vi gerne halverer n gange, så kan vi blot udregne (½)ⁿ · 25.
Vi vil nu gerne have at denne halvering sker hver 2,5 døgn!
Bemærk at hvis vi vælger n = x/2,5 (hvor x er antal døgn der er gået), så er n = 1 når der er gået 2,5 døgn (da 2,5/2,5 = 1), ligeså er n = 2 når der er går 5 døgn, n = 3 når der er gået 7,5 døgn, osv.
Kan du herfra se hvad det endelige udtryk for vores funktion bliver (hvor det er en funktion af x antal døgn)?
yessir jeg tror det giver bedre mening
Du kan evt. prøve at skrive funktionen op hvis du lyster, så kan jeg bekræfte om det er rigtigt 
Næsten! Men hvad var det nu vi satte n til at være?
x/2.5?
Lige med et komma mellem 2 og 5 
NÅh ja T_T

You have that sin(A)/opposite of A = sin(B)/ opposite of B
So sin(A)/BC = sin(B)/AC

$\mathbb{F}$ is a stand-in for either field $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$
Kapanda
yea so a = inf isn't even a scalar
when b is not zero, at least one of those 3 conditions aren't satisfied. find out which one.

For applying L'Hopital's Rule on the sqrt function, is the sqrt function all one function or is it f(x)/g(x)?
wheren I'd apply quotient rule
But I can't
I have to do l'hopitals rule for the first part
Because then it turns to 0/0
Which isn't allowed
So can I do l'hopitals and then I don't have to do that for all functions?
and for this, I don’t think so. It’s gotta be f(x)/g(x)
look at the (x^2-1)/(x-1)
Does l'hopital have to apply for the whole function?
can you make that simpler
So if I do l'hopitals on the first part
dont
I don't have to do it for the whole equation?
im telling you theres an easier way
how to simplify (x^2-1)/(x-1)
do you remember difference of squares
X+1 x-1?
you have to use a different channel
you dont even need to lowkey
you can just evaluate at that point
yes good point
Result is 0
2(sqrt (0/1)) = 2(sqrt(0)) = 0
Ok cool
for this I do do l'hopital's otherwise it's 1/0
and so
1+(0/1)
lim n- infinite (1)
=1?
bruh did you just learn lhopital or smth
u spamming it on every problem lol 😞
It dne
you only need lhop when its 0/0 or inf/inf
Check limit of both sides
Or 1/0?
and 0^0
no
thats just always DNE
like 1/x
as x goes to 0
the limit does not exist
because its different on both sides
@acoustic sundial if there's a function that's in the form (fx/gx * (fx/gx) can I apply l'hopitals on one both not the other?
Given that the first fraction results in 1/0

guys
how do i do inequalities with fractions
can you give a specific question orrrrr
yes one sdec
also I tried solving this but idk
@sharp plaza
just isolate x
idk how for fractions
x/3 is the same as x divided by 3
what is the opposite of divided by 3
times
so multiply both sides by 3
ye
epic
well you got the first part right
i actually think this inequality is wrong
1s
1s?
0x > 2 is what im at right now
1s = one second im gonna do something really quick
oh alright
also yeah the inequality is false thats why
you did it right
so then how would i graph it 😭
oh
nvm
the thing says can multi step inequalities have no solution or infinitely many solutions?
no solution im assuming
sorry for shitting handwriting
7x - 5 + x <= 4(2x + 1)
7x + 5 + 1x <= 8x + 4
7x + 11x <= 8x + 9
8x - 8x <= 9
idk what to do herte
<@&286206848099549185>
Simplify the left side, what do you get?
nothing
Nothing meaning what?
And 0x <= 9 makes no sense, correct?
yes
And if it makes no logical sense, what would the answer be? No solution or infinitely many solutions?
no solution?
Yes
What are you having trouble with? It's the same process that you've been doing, it just involves fractions, with are numbers too
7x - 5 + 1x <= 8x + 4
7x + 1x <= 8x + 9
8x - 8x <= 8
wait
i think i solved it wrong on the other one
7x - 5 + x <= 4(2x + 1)
7x - 5 + x <= 8x + 4
7x + x <= 8x + 9
8x - 8x <= 9
nvm
i do not know how to do the fractions
Do you know how to distribute on the right side?
Yes exactly that
Now you have to get all the terms with x on one side and everything else on the other, right?
7x−5+x≤4(2x+1)
combine like terms on the left side
8x−5≤4(2x+1)
distribute the 4 on the right side
8x−5≤8x+4
to get x isolated, subtract 8x from both sides
−5≤4
The statement -5≤4 is true
somebody said my answer was wrong
yes
So try it
.
It's the same process as the other problems
You have (3/8)x + (3/4) < (1/2)x + 2
You need to move the term with x on the right to the left, how would you do that?
(3/8)x - (1/2)x < (3/4) + 2 ?
yes
The left side was + (3/4) so what would you need to do to move it to the other?
2 + (3/4) ?
So what would you have as the inequality?
(3/8x) - (1/2)x < 2 - (3/4)
Now you simplify
idk
Well 2 = 2/1
Why did the x disappear?
And what's 3/8 - 4/8
Why is there an x on the right side now?
Well, what's 3 - 4?
The x has nothing to do with fractions
You started with 3/8x - 4/8x < 2 - 6/8
You made the x disappear here
Then it appears on both sides here?
1/8x < 2 - 6/8x
6/8x - 1/8x < 2
5/8x < 2
i have no clue where to go ffrom here
Where is the x on the right side coming from?
3/8x - 4/8x < 2 - 6/8
Is there an x on the right side at all?
We're not that that point anymore
3/8x + 6/8 < 1/2x + 2
yes but you asked if there was an x
You started here 3/8x + 3/4 < 1/2(x + 4)
Now we are at this step 3/8x - 4/8x < 2 - 6/8
You magically made the x appear on the right side here 1/8x < 2 - 6/8x
Why
man i dont know
i am just as confused as you are
idk how to do this
This problem is no different to the others
its been hours and i have to go back and show my work for like 80 answers
except the fact that i dont know how to do it
Are you able to solve something like 3x + 3 < 2(x + 8)?
It's no different, it's still the same process
Fractions and whole numbers are no different
explain
They're still numbers
It's the same process as the other problems
For something like this, what would you do?
3x + 3 < 2(x + 8)
() first
2x + 16
3x + 3 < 2x + 16
2x < 2x + 13
2x - 2x < 13
0x < 13
OK but howwwww do i do fractionsss
3x + 3 < 2x + 16 2x < 2x + 13
From here to here, you went from 3x to 2x somehow on the left
(3/8)x + (3/4) < (1/2)(x + 4)
You do the exact same steps with that example I just gave you
x = 13
Let's start over
(3/8)x + (3/4) < (1/2)(x + 4)
That's what you start with
The first step is ()
What do you get?
3/8x + 3/4 < 1/2x + 2
Good
Now you move terms around, getting terms with x on one side, and everything else on the other
Start with the terms with x
What do you need to do?
Yes that's it
Now you need to combine them
How would you do it to 3/8x - 1/2x ?
Why did you just move that to the left side
Is it a term with a variable
no
-1/8x < -3/4 + 2/1
4/2
8/4
16/8
-3/4 -6/8
-1/8x < -6/8 + 16/8
-1/8x < 10/8
?
idk dude this stuff confuses me so much
multiply.?
By what?
Almost
bleh
When you multiply or divide by a negative number, what happens to the inequality sign?
Yes
1x > -10
x = -10 for solving x
Why did the inequality change to equals?
The symbols stays the same
It doesn't change
x is -10
?
ok
Yes
Now was that any different from a problem with whole numbers?
You did the same process that had whole numbers
There were just extra steps like finding a common denominator to add the fractions
4/5x + 2.4 >= x + 2
4/5x >= x -0.4
4/5x - x >= -0.4
4/5x - 1x >= -0.4
idk
maybe i add the x
idk
its still fractions so i dont know
i have trouble with fractions
normal stuff im fine but fractions no
Do you know how to do 4/5 - 1?
no, sorry
Well you need a common denominator, right?
Yes
Yes
So you multiplied by a negative number, what happens to the sign?
1X <= 2
thanks for all the help
Like I said, fractions are no different from the other problems

to test whether an integer sequence is a Geometric sequence or Arithmetic sequence, take the ratio/difference of successive terms and compare. If the differences are equal then you have an arithmetic sequence, if the ratios then you have a geometric sequence. I assuem you can do the rest from there :)
Neither the ratios or differences are equal
This is what I’ve got so far
I don’t think so
how did you get 35cm^2 for each new triange for 3 triangles turn into 65.22cm^2?
It says 105.22 cm^2
Sorry my handwriting is bad lol
I think for stage 3 the area of each new triangle is 11.69 not 3.90
that'd be the 4th stage
my logic is that the area of the first triangle is $\frac{27^2\sqrt{3}}{4}$ and then each iteration of triangle gets 1/3 smaller in side length, so then each other $n$th iteration would just be: $\frac{27^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^n$
PajamaMamaLlama
Why do you think the first triangle is that
,w 27^2sqrt(3)/4
because if the area is 315.change then the side length is about 27, which in this case it probably is cause you're teacher I imagine wouldn't make the side length 27.00001 lol
root(3)/2 :) but yes
So it would be 2727sin120
A=1/2absin(C) = 1/2xx*sqrt(3)/2=x^2sqrt(3)/4
Alright
Yep your right
Ok I’m with you now
so then the side length of each generational triangle gets 1/3 smaller, right?
Yep
so then the area of the new generation triangle would be $\frac{27^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n}$
PajamaMamaLlama
Why are you dividing by 4
because the initial area of the first triangle you divide by 4
I think so
no no that should be right
I’m confused
$\frac{\frac{27^2}{3^n}\sqrt{3}}{4}=\frac{27^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n}$
PajamaMamaLlama
I'm just complicating it my brain
So this is the same as this?
Wait
No hang on
It’s the same as this
I think
yeah that's the same thing
Ok yes I understand now
So is this the recursive or explicit formula
that's just an equality lol
Sooo I think what we have is: $\text{Area of New Triangle}=\frac{27^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n}$?
For some reason, and I have no clue, it's only working for even integers in the 1/3 power
which is why I'm thinking did you calculate the area of each new triangle wrong?
PajamaMamaLlama
ahh so it might be n in the power then
Then number of new triangles should be easier
Yeah
Then you multiply them together and that should finally give you an explicit formula 😭
Yep
I’m stuck on number of new triangles tho
Could you help me with that as well if you don’t mind
Sorry to be annoying haha
no worries sorry if I'm taking too long to asnwer this question, tbh I'm learning with you 😂
Oh haha
that's why I'm going all over the place
Fair enough
alr this is def geometric, ratios are the smae
so can you find this ratio? :)
Yeah that's what I was saying before with the 2n in the number, plus in n=2 you get 35
you said you did the area formula wrong?
But the teacher filled in stage 1 for us
honestly I'm looking at this and I have no clue, I'm sorry man :( you're gonna have to ping helper's
haven't a clue
Alright
Thanks for the help anyway
What you’ve said makes complete sense to me
I’m thinking the teacher might’ve made a mistake 🤷♂️
<@&286206848099549185>
Makes sense to me too which is why I'm kinda upset I cannot get this 😭
😮
dang 😭
The only thing is now
so you're teacher was wrong?
Nope
oooh I got what you're saying
Yep
Yeah I think that should do it
I just need to find a rule for number of new triangles now
well that should be easier
But i can’t figure that out either 😭
need any help with that?
Yes please
For now ignore the stage 1 lol
he's making it difficult for us
what's 48/12 and 12/3?
4
there that's r
Yep
what's the first term of 3,12,48,...?
3
and combine those two formulae as you did above that should do it!! :)
lol see a learning process it is indeed
So is this right?
It doesn’t seem right
Because
It gives this
Which seems like a huge increase in area
@slow jolt Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
@slow jolt Has your question been resolved?
@slow jolt
Yeah?
u need help?
Yeah
send question
What’s the explicit formula for this
Send the entire question pls
What’s that got to do with anything
It’s asking for the explicit formula
Not the sum
It’s geometric
It’s geometric
I’ve literally sent it
Yes
Yes
so what’s the issue
I need the explicit rule as well
??
Didn’t I do recursive?
