amazing
@wicked idol Has your question been resolved?
@wicked idol t'as moyen de poster le corrigé (+la question originale tant qu'on y est) ?
je trouve ça zarb aussi (mais bon je suis peut être juste aveugle aussi)
@wicked idol Has your question been resolved?
bien sur mais c'est en francais dcp
c'est de l'electronque pas vraiment des maths donc bon ...
$R=1000 , C=100*10^-6 et E_0=10$
Silicium
a mais c'est tout simple c'est que j'ai pas pris le bon coef dominant dans mon polynôme
non ?
oui donc je suis bien aveugle
c'est vrai que si tu veux écrire un polynôme de degré 2 sous la forme (p-p1)(p-p2) faut bien que ton polynôme soit unitaire à la base
@wicked idol
en même temps avec des RC partout ça peut être que de l'elec lol

The translation of the text is: We consider n a whole natural number different from zero
- prove that
- deduct from it
I already did the first question because it's easy I have some troubles with the second one though
.reopen
le probleme c'est que du coup A n'est plus valide... dans ma correction A=E et la ca serais A=E/(RC)^2
En utilisant l'identite démontree dans la première partie tu remarque que la plupart des termes vont s'annuler
il va te rester que les premiers et derniers termes
si tu fais le trick de multiplier par p pour obtenir A, t'obtiens A = (E0/(RC)^2) / (1/(RC)^2)
donc A change pas c'est toujours bien E0
Tu peux me donner un exemple stp
a moi oui bien sur j'ai zapper le (E0/(RC)^2) je suis fatigue...
merci
ba tu l'as dans ton ex1, la forme generale
applique la tu vas voir
si tu veux une application numerique par ex
Je n'arrive pas à voir comment l'appliquer
Prenons la somme
$\sum_{n=1}^{5} \frac{1}{n(n+1)(n+2)}$
avec ton identite on a
$S = \left(\frac{1}{1 \times 2} - \frac{1}{2 \times 3}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2 \times 3} - \frac{1}{3 \times 4}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{3 \times 4} - \frac{1}{4 \times 5}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{4 \times 5} - \frac{1}{5 \times 6}\right)$
On constate que tous les termes intermédiaires s'annulent
$S = \frac{1}{1 \times 2} - \frac{1}{5 \times 6}$
apres tu simplifie
Silicium
tu comprends mieux ?

hey can I get help for precalculus
What comes before this picture?
like I get the factoring bit
and the fact that x + 1 cancel out each other
but are they asking me to plug in every single value and check the options?
cause I can't do that on an actual test. I have to know the actual answer
Well, you don’t really need to plug in all the values-
right
How do you feel about the excluded values part? Do you know why you want to find them, and why they should be excluded?
if they were ask me for domain and range for example, yeah
typically finding the range is the easiest part when there's no POD
yet I still don't know what that means
so yeah i don't really know too much im sorry
im good at the factoring, but everything else has the potential to throw me off
POD?
point of discontinuity
Well, tl;dr “excluded values” are the values that aren’t in your domain
Ah, gotcha 
yeah, aren't
but like.. how am I know to know for sure?
like if im dealing with x2 - 9
square root both values to give x - 3
then easily, that's how it would be your vertical or horizontal asymptote
so then it would be +3 instead
by x2 i meant x squared
How you’d know which values are excluded from your domain, you mean?
whichever your vertical and horizontal asymptote are
but you have to find out what those values are first
Hmmmm, not sure whether I know how to explain well
sorry
okay

What even is a premise?
like if we have an argument A and B and C -> D it would be logical to say A, B, and C are premises for this argument right?
but if we do something like induction, P(k) -> P(k+1) but I don't believe you can call P(k) a premise
so what's up with that?
You can, calling P(k) a premise makes sense to me
say we want to prove A implies A, but this statement is always true
so wouldn't it be wrong to say that it has premises?
but you don't need to assume anything to show it's a tautology
A implies A
not A or A
True
so A does not need to be assumed?
then is it even a premise
eh whatever i give up

help
You're looking for points of intersection
where the functions meet each other on the graph
so for the first one it would be (0,-3),(4,5)?
and the 2nd one (-2,2)?
ok ty
oh
so the correct answer is (0,4)?
so its fine putting both x and y?
i think it's fine
Closed by @wary jacinth
Use .reopen if this was a mistake.
if you're gonna list them use a set
{0, 4}
using () notation is inaccurate
typically in algebra courses the solutions would be the x-values (the zeroes) so you have the linear equation equalling the quadratic
Im pretty sure

Wait why is image sideways
Okay thanks
So I gotta find the domain
And range
So basically it's like -inf < x < 1 right
But then apparently the filled in circle means I should just do -inf < x < inf and I don't understand that
And yes
Yes to what
Well domain is all real numbers
Yes
Wym
So basically should I do -inf< x< 1, 1< x < Inf or just -inf < x < inf
And if the ladder do you mind explaining why the first one is wrong
Because the filled in dot means the less than and equal should be inclusive
Uh what does that mean
☹️ we haven't learned any <=x
Less than or equal to?
You never make it less than or equal if it’s infinity
Because you can never equal infinity
So it’s always just a > or < at the infinite ends
So for like a general rule of thumb, can I just ignore the circles and just focus on the infinites if that's on the quiz
Like if I get one like that, can I just ignore the circles and 1 and just do -inf < x < inf?
Yes, but only if one of the circles is filled and one isn’t
If both circles aren’t filled
Then you must not include it in the domain
Yes because at x=1 one of the circles is filled, and at x=2 one of the circles is also filled
What if they were all filled
They can’t be, then it wouldn’t be a function at all
But if both are not filled you must not include it in the domain
Well if all are unfilled I could just do -inf < x < inf still right?
No
Then you would need to do like -inf < x < 1 and 1 < x < inf if 1 had both open circles
Notice how 1 is excluded from both of them
How is it excluded
If it’s not >= or <= then x is never allowed to be exactly equal to 1
Say what now 😔
What does the non filled in dots even mean
It means like it's like 2.001 not 2 right
Yeah
I think I might understand it
Thank you
So on the test just lowk ignore the silly circles
Oh wait
One second
Okay made a graph, if it's something like this were the filled in circles are not on same X then would I just do like
-inf < x < 2, 4 < x < inf?
Like if there's zero non filled in circle
@keen glade Has your question been resolved?
@keen glade Has your question been resolved?
Yes, but If they are filled in the < symbols next to the 2 and 4 must be greater than or equal symbols because a filled in circle means x can also be equal to 2 / 4, not just less than / greater than equal to it

claim
can someone help explain what's going on
They factor out (k+1)!
And after use the definition of ! To get (k+2)!
(k+2)! = (k+2)(k+1)!
hold on give me like 2 business days to process that
is it too much if I ask for someone to help visualise it better
Let X = (k+1)!
Idk
Like it makes you smth as X + (k+1)X - 1
Factor by X
X(1 + (k+1)) -1
X(k+2) -1
can I get some elaboration on this
Sure
(k+2)(k+1)(k)(k-1)...(2)(1) = (k+2)!
But in the lhs you see that k+2(k)(k-1)...(2)(1)
So we have two parts
The one between []
And the other one between ()
The first one is just k+2
And the other is (k+1)(k)(k-1)...(2)(1) which is (k+1)!
But i honestly suggest you to know the proprety that (n+1)! = (n+1)(n)!
yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out right now
is that something I can just memorise or
If it's a property it was definitely proved but most people don't care about the proof, because honestly how can you remember so many proofs
But as YakuBros showed above
Thats one of the def of the factorial
The "induction" definition
imma give it a try
so is there any easier way for me to remember this prove? I get the concept of it now but I don't have a good way to memorize it
I think if you have the concept of factorial you can get the result easily
factorial being like 3! = 3 *2 *1?
n! is the product of all consecutives integers from 1 to n
You can avoid the 1 btw
Like it change nothing in a product so
okay got that
but ngl I don't see how factorial links to it
it isn't exactly 1:1
how would (k+2)! be written out
(K+2)! = (k+2)(k+1)(k)(k-1) ... (2)(1)
yes this is exactly what I don't understand
how did (k+2)! turn into that

does anyone have tips for learning about calculating points on the surface of a sphere? i never did calculus in school and i dont know if that's required or where to start
You want to know if a point is on a sphere or not ?
yeah kind of, basically the context is im working on a minecraft plugin and i want to spawn a sphere of particles around a player (just the surface of the sphere)
Coolest context ever
🤣
the equation of a sphere is $(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 + (z - c)^2 = r^2$ if the centre is $(a, b, c)$ and the radius is $r$
higher's secret twin brother
compare the equation of a circle $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$
higher's secret twin brother
it's the same but in 3D
also it's related to 3D Pythagoras
so the length of the space diagonal is sqrt(12^2 + 9^2 + 8^2)

i have a question

How can I find the decimal of 100/9
I need the explanation
of the answer and the process
the answer at the back of my book is 11.11
<@&286206848099549185>
1/9 = 0.11111....
then do 100/9 = 11.111....
But the answer at the back is different then I'm getting
bro that would lead to infinite 1s
yeah that's the point
the 1s never stop
no
the question is
i have to take out the percentage of 3 of 27
100/9 = 11.1111111111...
the ones do not end
they chose to only keep 2 decimal places
yeah that's the fact
thats all
oh
oh no
i got it
because there's 2 zeros in 100
that's why they keep two places only
oh I see, then yeah you want to express 3/27 as a percentage
some significant figures thing?
yeah then they rounded
yeah in decimals
i got it
thx

i have a question
No need to ask “Can I ask…?” or “Does anyone know about…?”—it’s faster for everyone if you just ask your question! See https://dontasktoask.com/
(25/100)(x) = 75
oh
wait what does x mean here?
X is the number you're trying to find
It's just basic algebra then
Yes
okay okay
should I turn 25/100 into simplest form then do it?
Your choice tbh
okay then
Doesn't really matter
I think so
this one is going to take long
whatever
am I going right?
because I have a doubt
<@&286206848099549185>
multiply both sides by 4. then simplify
pls explain why i have to multiply by 4
to remove denominator 4
oh
so that we'll only have 'a' on the left side

Combinatoric
If n is a natural number, f(n) is the number of consecutive 1 digits on the right side of the binary representation (base 2) of the number n We consider For example, f(8)=0 and f(19)=2
What is the existing sum of f(n)
for n's between 1 to 255?
(the question is translated with google)
more clearly : f(n) = number of consecutive 1's in binary representation of n
n = 6, 110 (base 2) ---->
f(6) = 2
Im really struggling to understand the answer that was given in the paper,
I came up with a pattern, but i dont know how to formulate it (if i can) to avoid doing it 255 times
I will be really thankful if someone can tell me what technique i need to use, how to use it or what part of combinatoric this is so i can go study it 🌺
idk better servers, sorry.
This makes no sense
14 = 1110_2, that has indeed three consecutive 1's on the left
19 = 10011_2, that has two 1's on the right...
If you're counting from the left, f would never give you 0 (except f(0))
If you're counting from the right, then your example with 6 is wrong too, since that would be 0 instead of 2
any odd number has a first 1 on it's right providing floor((N+1)/2) to the sum. then, 1cout of any 2 odds will have a next consecutive 1 adding floor((N+1)/4). proceeding that way we get the sum of floor((N+1)/2^k) (the point being to count how many smaller than or equal to n numbers are equal to -1 modulo 2^k) with k going till floor(log_2(N+1)) (N being 255 here). you can find that sum via desmos' don't thik ther's a closed form solution. (pretty sure)

Hi !
hi
hi
i'd like some help in a proof i made on why all multiplicative groups made out of the inversible elements of a corps ( the inversible ring thing ,sorry if i messed up the name) are cyclic
are you french?
the teacher took a look at it and told me it wasn't correct but i don't get why
yeah
Yeah, if you want to know corps are "fields" in english
thank you !
oh i should have added finite there it's finite fields
so what i did was say that if K is a finite field then it is an integral ring so we've got division and association defined in there
So finite field K and you want to prove that U(K) is cyclic/monogenous?
yes
and since the only ideals(hope that's the correct term) of a field are itself and 0
if we take any element x of K other than 0 then we will find that the ideal it makes is none other than K itself and this hold true for all elements y of K other than 0 .in particular we can choose a y and have that the ideal made out of y is equal to the one made out of x and is still K
so that means that all elements of K other than 0 are associated or in other words that if we take an x non nul will find that it will divide all the other elements of K other than 0
and since the coefficient k such as y=kx is itself in K other than 0 (so U(K)) then it can also be divided by x
and we've got that K is finite so all this series of division will end when we come back to our x again
so y is a power of x
and this holds true for all elements of U(K) thus it is cyclic ( since x is then a generator)
my idea here is that since K is a field , relationships such as division are trivial since all elements can be divided by all the other elements (excluding 0) so like if we vulgarise it the relationships of divisibility is itself cyclic in a field (which is why it is trivial)
Wait
Ideal pertain to the additive structure of the field, not the multiplicative structure. When talking about the cyclic nature we talk about the multiplicative one.
and this is why the property is true in a field but not for a group
yes but regardless of the structures the elements of K are the same like if we name them x1 x2......xn we will get that xi + xk=xj but the same xj is still an element of U(K) which is just K without 0 (like the nature of the relationship changes but not the elements themself)
basically what i am trying to say is that if we take any element x of K other than 0 we can write all the other elements as a power of this said elemnt like all elements of K other than 0 are generators
because of the cyclic nature of the division in a field
which is absolutely not true in a group
if we take any element x of K other than 0 then we will find that the ideal it makes is none other than K itself and this hold true for all elements y of K other than 0 .in particular we can choose a y and have that the ideal made out of y is equal to the one made out of x and is still K
so that means that all elements of K other than 0 are associated or in other words that if we take an x non nul will find that it will divide all the other elements of K other than 0
Wait here you say that you take x€K\0 and it "divides" all other elements, and thus all nonzero elements are "associated" with each other, that's busting an open door because every element divides every other element (since every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse), this comes from the fact that K is a field and therefore every element divide everyone else
for a group to be cyclic, you need a specific element (a generator) such that all other elements can be written as powers of this one element. The fact that any nonzero element can divide others only tells us that we have invertibility, not that one particular element can generate the entire group.
Also the idea that the ideal generated by x is equal to K and that this somehow implies that x is a generator of the multiplicative group
you're mixing up additive and multiplicative properties of the field. The fact that x generates the ideal K (in the sense of an additive ring) has no bearing on whether x can generate the entire multiplicative structure
but doesn't the fact that x generates the ideal K tell us that for every y in K* there exist k in K* such as y=kx and the same thing can be done over and over again on every k and this process will come to an end sinc K is finite
(please don't say K* for K\{0} because it refers to the dual in this case
oh alright!
I think i get why you are wrong but it's subtle
lemme write smth
this is possible because K is a field so it also have an additive structure and we can write the elements of K ( even if we are using the additive structure) in a certain way then they can always be written that way and since we have done nothing but change the way they are written and these same elements are the elements of U(k) then we can conclude what i said
When you say that x "generates the ideal K," you are referring to the additive structure of the field, not the multiplicative one. The ideal generated by an element x€K is the set of all multiples of x by elements of the field (in the additive sense), i.e., all elements of the form ax, where a€K
Now
To show that a group is cyclic, we need to demonstrate that there exists **an **element, a single element, g of K\0 such that every element of K\0 can be written as as g^k so every member of the group is the power of g
The fact that x generates an additive ideal (i.e., the set of multiples of x in the additive sense) doesn't imply that x generates the entire multiplicative group. You need to show that every element y of K\0 can be written as x^k not just that it is a multiple of x in the additive sense
To prove cyclicity, you need a specific element whose powers cover the entire multiplicative group, not just the fact that one element divides others.
:p
Does that make sense?
but there could be more than one generator to a same group but yes we usually just try to find one to conclude cyclicity
Basically you are mixing up the concept of additive multiples with multiplicative powers.
Yeah you can have multiple primitive element
does that mean that xxx(in the additive sense ) is not x at the power 3
aren't they equivalent
?
xxx additively doesn't make sense it would be x+x+x so 3x
and no 3x=!=x^3
Wait do you know what Euler's totient function is?
I just want to check smth
no i meant x repeated xx times
yes i know it
like adding x ( adding x , xtimes)
does this make sense?
no wait lemme change it ; is adding x x times not equal to x to the power of 2 ( i hope this is more comprehensible)
how do you even guarantee that process ends anyway if y isn't a power of x to begin with ? that's the most shocking statement of the bunch
"x" isn't a scalar
The law for scalar multiplication isn't the same one of the multiplicative group
x.x isn't 3*x
it's because K is finite and the only ideal of K are K and 0 so the preocess should end with coming back to x since k=xk
As I said you are confusing multiplicative and additive structure repeated addition which turns into scalar multiplication and the IN field multiplicative law which is smth else
so we can't go back and forth between the multiplicative law and the addition law
No
i kind of see where you're going but i am still not sure i completely understand
Well there are some interactions between them but whatever you are proposing is not allowed
let me try again and i'll do it step by step so can you pause me when i make the wrong passage
Ok
so if x is an element of k other than 0
then since K is a finite field xK=k
now let's consider y another non nul element of K
since K is a field then x and y are associated ( or x divise y and y divise x)
that means that there exist an element h of K who's non nul such as y=kx
the same thing said about y can be said about h so there must exist a p of K non nul such as y=pxx
continuing this process , since K is finite and the only ideals of K are itself and 0 with 0 being only generated by 0 we can conclude that y=xxxxxxxxxx where x is repeated a finite number of times
i guess this is the passage i can't make: why should xxxxxx equal x to the power of something?
i am not sure about this though it feels so counter intuitive
Ok wait I need to write why you are wrong in simple term so amma need time
alright thank you for your time
Ok so
You start by taking x,y€K\0 and since K is a field it's true that since both x and y are invertible because K is a field you can always find some h in K\0 such that y=hx
That's correct
And then, somehow, y=hx and there is h=px so we "repeat" until y=lxxxxxxxxx not xxxxxxx... and since K is finite then it's fine cause you'll run out at some point right?
While you can express one element as a multiple of another, this fact does not mean the group is cyclic or that elements are related through powers of a single generator.
The reason why "xxxx" doesn’t necessarily equal "x to the power of something" is that you're not actually multiplying x by itself a number of times. Instead, you're expressing y as a product of different elements of K with x, like y=hx, h=px, etc. Each element h,p,… is a different scalar, so you're not building powers of x, but rather expressing a chain of factorizations involving different elements of K.
This is a chain of scalar multiplications that doesn't produce powers of x; it just shows that one element divides another, but division does not imply powers.
do you get me? :v
And then, somehow, y=hx and there is h=px so we "repeat" until y=lxxxxxxxxx not xxxxxxx... and since K is finite then it's fine cause you'll run out at some point right? here i don't think there should be an l since eventually the last l will be equal to 1
Ok I'm shifting gear I'm just going to find a counterexample at this point
but i kind of get what you mean here The reason why "xxxx" doesn’t necessarily equal "x to the power of something" is that you're not actually multiplying x by itself a number of times. Instead, you're expressing y as a product of different elements of K with x, like y=hx, h=px, etc. Each element h,p,… is a different scalar, so you're not building powers of x, but rather expressing a chain of factorizations involving different elements of K.
I"m pretty sure Z²xZ² actually works
as a counterexample
Lol lemme write that down, seeing a simple counterexample should help you understand imo
like this would work for normal + and . but not for any additive law and multiplicatve one
alright thanks

I got overleaf out for that one
I'm fucking endign my own life, it fails at compiling
@solemn geyser ok get me?
Alix
yes i think i get it now , in the division the same element can just keep appearing (alpha +1 is this case ) even if the field is finite
wow never thought that this situation was possible
So is your problem resolved? 
and the cyclicity is what gives us the fact that a p can be written as a power of x so i basically used cyclicity to prove cyclicity lol
I think so , i understand where i went wrong
thank you for your help
no problem 
and btw just being able to use latex like that is already great so yeah that's cool
It took some time for me to start knowing what I'm doing
But even today sometime I don't know what I'm doing
Anyway don't forget to close the ticket when you think you are done asking and if you want some direction for the actual proof of the cyclicity you need to use the Lagrange theorem and euler's totient function :p
don't we need cauchy as well ( to prove that there is an element of the order d where d is a prime divisor of the cardinal of K )
but we don't have access to this theorem so we can't use it
though thank you for the indication i'll try that out right now
and btw a quick question what makes us able to say that if K is a finite field then U(K) is cyclic and not say that a finite group is cyclic , heck even an abelian finite group is not necessarily cyclic , why is U(K) so special when K can be any finite field
Isn't this why you are trying to prove lmao
oh then wait i'll try to do it first and then check with you if my understanding is correct
can i ping you when i am done so that i close this channel?
cause it may take some time

can someone help rq
not enough information
how so
no, ignore that. I'm being a silly
ik
do you know what trig ratio to use?
you don't use sin
why
i think it's 50/k
if you want to use the sin
or use the cosine
i tried this aswell and got 50
@tawny heron do you know what trig ratio to use now?
opposite and adjacent, does that ring a bell
its def not cos i got -0.6
yes
how is it tan
or cotan
.
if it really bothers you tilt your head 90 degrees to the right
im aware

then SOHCAHTOA
we have opposite and adjacent
hence it's tan
then it's just your calculator being in radians
,w 50/(tan 33 degrees)
fml
I suffered alot in high school due to this lol
you don't have the hypothenus
Tan is perpendicular/ base
if u really wanted to troll someone, put their calculator in gradians
in this case k/50
so whenever i dont have hypotenuse i use tan?
and both cos and sin need it but tan doesn't so that's your only option
yeah so the hypotenuse is the most obvious side
then it's the opposite side to that particular angle
the 3rd side has to be the adjacent then
it's just very slightly different to degrees so it's harder to notice than if u put it into radians lol

asked my prof for help and all she said is that you use geometry for this
multivariable calculus btw
at first i thought you break down the vectors into their unit ones but theres no plane established
a simple way is to just start from the base of vector a, and work around through the other vectors round to the end of a
like in the first one, i go along b, then backwards along c
so its b+(-c)=b-c
in the ones with two as, go from the start of the first, to the end of the second, then that will be 2a=...
so this kind of leads into another question
when im looking at illustrations of vectors
how do ik if they are being subtracted
adding makes sense
to me
is it like where the initial and terminal point are in relation to others?>
im always adding
-c is the vector c, but its pointing in the opposite direction
if i go along c in the arrow direction its just c
if i go backwards along it then its -c
ohhhhhhhhh
so is b-c the only correct answer?
what if i say c-b
just by the order of the vectors
so i am always starting from the initial point?
and following a vector that isnt a?

can someone explain to me how this works
This is basically creating a function in which you have a "normal" behavior, until it arrives at c. Then, g(c) = a. which might be continuous or not
so i’m creating my own function?
Was f(x) given to you?
nope
Was there anything before this exercise?
yeah
No, since you need f(x)
Don't worry, bro 🫂
You ain't dumb
You're a freaking math major
Then you're a fucking pre med
pre med is beating my ass
i love bio lmao
thank u tho
ok yeah makes sense now
You should check the points (a,c) for each option
And, for (c), you must see the point for which the function doesn't converge
I can't really understand it 😢
yeah it makes sense now its just plug and pull
ty
i was strugglinggggg
u think u could help me with related rates?
Can you understand letter (c) as well?
I think so!
Hold on
alr
from the top of the swimming pool to the bottom is 9 ft, but the pool is filled 5 feet
dh/dt = 1.1ft^3
Yea!
Ok
the issue is since the shape is a trapezoid flipped upside down the rate changes
Well, I did it in a rather simple way, tbh
anythings better than nothing lol
I mean, I took the increasing rate, then I calculated that in relation to the surface
First of all, I did the proportion between the measures if that trapezoide was full
the height becomes 5
Yes, I did the proportion between 6ft and 5ft
Considering both sides
The 12 isn't changing there
Hmmm, we agreed until v = 1/2(12 + (5 + 12 + 40/3))h(20)
I went to find out the surface of the pool when it wasn't full
the top portion?
Something like this
alr
What is the right answer according to the key?
this is hw
Ok, fair
I mean, I didn't use any calculus tools to do that problem, but I would have sincerely solved it that way
Even considering dimensional analysis
no im calculus lol
I mean, I'd rather say it's that value, still
alr lmao
That doesn't really work out, as the function is false
It's supposed to vary inside the parenthesis as well, so to say
Hmmm
Ok, hold on, I found a seemingly good explanation
A swimming pool is 20 ft wide, 40 ft long, 3 ft deep at the shallow end, and 9 ft deep at its deepest point. A cross-section is shown in the figure. If the pool is being filled at a rate of 0.8 ft^3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the depth at the deepest point is 5 ft?
But you shouldn't assume fixed values when you do the function
Let me try to explain the process of doing the function at the very least
Like this
As you can see, you shouldn't consider the length as a fix thing, as it changes according to the height
That's the whole concept of a trapezoide
But your friend almost got it right lol
Looks stupid, but anyways
OH hold on
It's multiplied by ten
I sent my first draw
Let me
Obviously you multiply lmfao
Instead of just considering it a fixed value
You get it?

Wrong why
You don't sub h(x) straight , firstly evaluate h(x)
Because there are some numbers which if you plug them into h(x) will not be defined
Then do g(of that value)
For example, g(h(-10)) is not defined
Yo I'm not that smart I don't know what that means, I lowkey skipped a grade so I'm kinda confused
Okay what's g•h
The problem is
You don't sub in straight
If you plug x=-10 into x+7 directly there's no problem
But if you try plugging it into h and then into g
there's a problem
So g•h is x+7 but with a restricted domain since it can't accept all inputs
You firstly have to get the value h(x)
Then put that into g(x)
Into g(x) you mean
Yes oops
So I have to do all the steps and not skip h(x)?
Na?
Okay so
You agree that h(x) cannot have its values of x less than -4

yea. then use 3 = 1 + 2
wdym
so like
under the square root
wait how do i deal with the three
.
sorry if this a stupid question
Oh
so like sin^2 + (1+2)(cos^2)
Oh
and then i can multiply
so like sin^2 + cos^2 + 2cos^2
so then 1 + 2cos^2
Wasnt there another thingy for 1+2cos^2 then
no
now multiplying the top and bottom by sin + sqrt(1+2cos^2) should be slightly cleaner
Its cos(2t)
idk if that's helpful though
it's not
ah
,tex .double angle
nvm
riemann
wait why do you change the sign of the sqrt and not the sin t as well
ik this is the conjugate thing just trying to understand tho
cuz prof doesnt explain
try it and see if it's helpful
Ok
ultimately it's because $a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$
riemann
,rotate
yes expand
ok
this is what you're doing in the numerator
probably can skip the denom
oh ok
probably
just cancel
OHH
I starting to see it
I got 1/4
cuz what i did was
$\frac{\left(\cos ^2t\right)}{2\left(\cos ^2t\right)\left(\sin t+\sqrt{1+2\cos ^2t}\right)}$
j
Then i canceled cos ^2 t
and got
$$\frac{1}{2\left(\sin t+\sqrt{1+2\cos ^2t}\right)}$$
j
and plugging in pi /2 gives me 1/4
,w lim t to pi/2 (sin(t) - sqrt(sin^2(t) + 3cos^2(t)))/(2cos^2(t))
oh shi
wait
isnt it kinda like the period tho or wtv
so wouldnt -3/4 and 1/4 work
or did i do something wrong
probably messed up here
,w expand (sin(t) - sqrt(1+2cos^2(t))) * (sin(t) + sqrt(1+2cos^2(t)))
yes

how do i solve d
i tried simplifying, converting to radians but its too complicated tobe the answer
,tex .unit circle
hayley is not layla
it should be just a handful of steps of algebra
what am i doing
well, the steps should be very similar
hint: $\f{\s3}3 = \f1{\s3}$
hayley is not layla
so if i convert to radians its pi/(180*/sqrt3)?
errm
no, this isn't an angle measurement
this is a number
i think you're trying to find an angle whose tangent is equal to 1/√3
hayley is not layla
oh, negative
yea
ok
do you know an angle T such that tan(T) = 1/√3?
in degrees or radians
,w tan(60 degrees)
30
yes 30º
ok
30º = π/6
this is something that you should memorize
tangent repeats every π radians
so we can say that 3x = π/6 + πk
where k is some integer
hsould i convert 3x to radians
all the previous answers i got were in radians
and the domain is in radians
but doesnt this depend on the coefficient of x
pi/3 is the period?
