thanks @vast ether

#

can u help with something else?

alpine sable

i know 1, 4, and 25 are squares but idk how I get a recursive sequence from that

gray isle

A rectangular pen is to be built along a wall from 72 yards of fencing. Find the maximum area that can be enclosed and the dimensions of the pen.

frank cave
#

$a_n = (a_{n-1} + 1)^@$

ocean sealBOT
frank cave
#

replace @ with 2

#

lol

gray isle
#

yes

frank cave
#

aight thanks

glass lichen
#

then also you need to write a_1

gray isle
#

that too

How would I solve for ray torus intersections

frank cave

#

A rectangular pen is to be built along a wall from 72 yards of fencing. Find the maximum area that can be enclosed and the dimensions of the pen.

glass lichen
#

so $a_n=(a_{n-1}+1)^2\a_1=-2$

ocean sealBOT
#

moshill1

frank cave
#

2x+2y = 72 so x+y=36

#

so x=36-y

ashen wave
frank cave
#

it doesnt matter

#

i just chose those variables

ashen wave
#

oh

#

wait did you use ax^2+bx+c?

frank cave
#

and the area is x*y correct?

frank cave
ashen wave
#

A=L*W?

frank cave
#

wait i might use that

#

later

ashen wave
gray isle
#

setup is wrong

frank cave
#

its been a while since i've done this lmaoo

gray isle
#

built along a wall implies that only 3 sides need fencing

ashen wave
#

right

frank cave
#

o yea

#

listen to ramonov

gray isle
#

drawing a diagram also helps

ashen wave
#

okk so like a square with a wall instead of the 4th side

gray isle
#

not a square, rectangle

ashen wave
#

oh right!

#

oh wait there is no wall in this question

gray isle
#

A rectangular pen is to be built along a wall

ashen wave
#

oh oops i misread it

#

alright now what?

gray isle
#

have you drawn your diagram

ashen wave
#

yep

stable dune
gray isle
#

can you show what you've drawn

stable dune
#

isnt it a^2+b^2=c^2

ashen wave
#

hold on let me go get my phone

stable dune
#

but 20^2+b^2=29^2?

gaunt sparrow
stable dune
gray isle
#

but 20^2+b^2=29^2?
hopefully this will be very short.
yes continue

stable dune
#

okok

#

so 20^2 is 400

#

and 29^2 is 841

#

400+b^2=841

next lynx
#

de(mod x)=1 is there a way i can find d given the values for e and x ?

stable dune
#

841 minus 400\

#

thats 441

#

square root of 441 is 21

frank cave
#

is there another way to do part b without using the graph as justification?

gray isle
#

evaluate the limit algebraically

frank cave
#

what limit would i evaluate?

gray isle
#

limit as n→inf of the nth term of your sequnece

#

$\lim_{n \to \infty} b_n$

#

boys i have a question

#

what do i do

#

?

gray isle
#

well since you're dealing with a sequence, n will be an integer
cos(pi * n) will alternate between -1 and 1

alpine sable
#

do you know how to use a notpad

#

like a whiteboard that is online

#

just draw it out and send it pls

frank cave
gray isle
#

doesn't change much

frank cave
#

so how would i write the explicit formula?

frank cave
gray isle
#

it isn't really clear what they actually want

frank cave
ashen wave
#

shoot I forgot about discord

gray isle
#

well you're already given an explicit formula

ashen wave
#

I got my phone ;-; lmao

#

and had lunch rip

gray isle
#

by rewrite, the best i can infer is rewrite the cos(pi * n) as a power of (-1)

frank cave

hollow grove
#

hi guys

#

can anyone help me ?

#

please

ashen wave
gray isle
#

cos(pi * n) will alternate between -1 and 1
specifically cos(pi * n) will be 1 for even n
and -1 for odd n

#

ok using those dimensions set up an equation for the amount of fencing

hollow grove
ashen wave
#

wait what?

#

how would I do that

#

what equation format

hollow grove
#

can y'all help me how to draw this thing

ashen wave
#

A=L*W?

gray isle
#

that's the equation for area which will be useful later

frank cave
gray isle
#

according to your diagram, how much fencing will there be?

#

use something like (-1)^(n)

frank cave
#

o wait so it would be like (-1)^n / (n+1)

#

since for even's

gray isle
#

that's my guess at what the question wants

frank cave
#

aight thanks

ashen wave
#

im confused :/

gray isle
#

according to your diagram, how much fencing will there be?

#

(in terms of L and W)

#

don't overthink this

#

it's not supposed to be a trick question

ashen wave
#

wait give me a sec

ashen wave
#

idk

#

oh wait

#

aren't we supposed to be talking about perimeter?

#

72 yards of fencing

gray isle
#

yes

#

i'm leading up to that

#

according to your diagram the amount of fencing will be
W+W+L

#

and you are told that the numerical value will be 72 (yards)

#

hence the equation you would set up is
W + W + L = 72

ashen wave
#

oh ok but when it talks about 72 yeards of fencing is that referring to the area orr?

gray isle
#

72 yards of fencing refers to the amount of fencing

#

says nothing about area

#

Area is what you're trying to optimise

#

yards is a measurement for distance not area

ashen wave
#

wait so 72 is the width and the length added up?

gray isle
#

72 is the sum of the lengths of your 3 fences

ashen wave
#

ohh ok

gray isle
#

W + W + L = 72

ashen wave
#

oh ok

gray isle
#

now

A=L*W

#

ideally you want to get the area in terms of 1 variable

#

so you could isolate W or L from W + W + L = 72
and then sub that into your equation for area

#

here it seems isolating/substituting L would be less tedious

ashen wave
#

is there a difference from using L or W

#

isolating*

gray isle
#

the end result will be the same

ashen wave
#

oh ok

gray isle
#

calculations using 1 may be less tedious than the other

ashen wave
#

oh so isolating L is easiest?

#

also how would you sub it into A=L*W

gray isle
#

replace L with whatever L is

ashen wave
#

but what is L?

#

A rectangular pen is to be built along a wall from 72 yards of fencing. Find the maximum area that can be enclosed and the dimensions of the pen.

#

it doesn't give it to you

gray isle
#

W + W + L = 72
is one of your equations

ashen wave
#

right

gray isle
#

what happens when you isolate L

ashen wave
#

erm

#

i dont really know T-T

gaunt sparrow
#

Um........whats the question again?

ashen wave
#

A rectangular pen is to be built along a wall from 72 yards of fencing. Find the maximum area that can be enclosed and the dimensions of the pen.

gray isle
#

you're doing optimisation and quadratics now

#

you should definitely be capable of isolating a certain variable

#

are you able to solve something like
x + 4 = 5

#

(for x)

ashen wave
#

yeah

#

x=1

gaunt sparrow
ashen wave
#

yeah I assume

gray isle
#

and what's stopping you from applying the exact same principles for
isolating L for
W + W + L = 72

ashen wave
#

L=72-2W

#

?

gray isle
#

yes

#

exactly

ashen wave
#

oh

#

ok

gray isle
#

now sub that into your equation for area

ashen wave
#

alright

#

for width do I put x or w

gray isle
#

well you defined your width to be W...

#

so why would you use anything else

ashen wave
#

my teacher used X tho

#

that's the answer key

#

She usually defines the variables to the side as well

gray isle
#

use whatever variables you initially chose,

#

be consistent

#

it's all personal preference

#

very similar to the other one you had earlier

#

yes, +2 then square

frank cave
#

aight thanks man

ashen wave
gray isle
#

what do you have atm

ashen wave
#

is that right?

gray isle
#

use whatever variables you initially chose,
be consistent

ashen wave
#

oh alright so is it ok if I erase the L and W in the beginning and keep X and Y

gray isle
#

your labels on your diagram should match everything else you're writing down

ashen wave
#

oh ok ill change that too

gray isle
#

don't feel the need to follow your teacher's use of variables

#

use whatever feels natural and are most comfortable with

ashen wave
#

but what if she takes points off

#

alright

#

now what should I do?

gray isle
#

identify the location of your vertex of your quadratic

ashen wave
#

X=-b/(2a)???

gray isle
#

parentheses in the wrong location

#

and also use lowercase a and b

#

parentheses still in the wrong location

#

x = -b/(2a)

ashen wave
#

oh

#

there xD

gray isle
#

alternatively you could also identify the roots from the factored form and take the average

ashen wave
#

So I factor it out then use the vertex thing

#

can I use this form tho?

gray isle
#

for the purposes of this question you don't need that

ashen wave
#

oh ok

#

oh yeah you dont xD

#

the width is 18

gray isle
#

@dusk panther do you know your sohcahtoa?

dusk panther
#

Yes

gray isle
#

first, use the appropriate trig function to relate your given sides and angle

marble panther
#

is that wiley plus?

#

freaking hate the website

muted raft
#

because thats not in vertex form.

gray isle
#

well firstly you didn't do anything for the vertex form

alpine sable
#

do u guys know how to solve trig equations

cerulean slate

gray isle
#

start with the basics

#

gettin so crowded here

#

everyone except for jasmine should move

gaunt sparrow
#

Where

sly mantle
#

jasmine was here 1st?

gray isle
#

start with the basic trig function to relate your angle and given sides

sly mantle
#

ram are you handling axelle too?

gray isle
#

can't multitask atm

dusk panther
#

Ok so I’m supposed to use one of the three either sin/cos/tan for the triangle depending on the sides

gaunt sparrow
sly mantle
#

ax is in q3 if you can help

gray isle
#

yes. you said you knew your sohcahtoa so you should know which would be the most appropriate function to use here

dusk panther
#

Yeah that bit I can understand but when it comes to actually putting in the new stuff that’s where I start to mess up

gray isle
#

like I said. start with the basic first

#

start with what you know

the basic trig function to relate your angle and given sides

#

can't really move on if you don't do that first

ashen wave
dusk panther
#

Yeah ok I’m gonna send the picture again

ashen wave
#

the sum of a number and its square is 72. What is the number?

alpine sable
#

@dusk panther check trigonometry rules for triangles

dusk panther
#

So I labeled the sides on paper the opposite/adjacent/hypotenuse

alpine sable
#

@ashen wave set up an equation to solve

gaunt sparrow
gray isle
#

what's the position of the 15 (relative to theta)?

ashen wave
#

how did you get x^2 tho

gray isle
#

what's the position of the 19

gaunt sparrow
dusk panther
#

19 is the hypotenuse

alpine sable
#

What about the 15

rough spear
#

adjposite

dusk panther
#

Isn’t 15 the opposite

ashen wave
gray isle
#

no. the side with length 15 is NOT opposite theta

dusk panther
#

So it’s the adjacent which would mean that you would use cos for the triangle?

gray isle
#

yes

dusk panther
#

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do after that. I know that I have cos^-1 (15/19)

oak chasm

No, but $d \ne 0$ is now required.

glass tide
#

I don't understand

ocean sealBOT
#

Chai T. Rex

oak chasm
#

It was in the denominator of a fraction before, right?

#

And denominators can't be zero, even if they're later not denominators.

glass tide
#

ohh

#

that is true

#

good catch

alpine sable
#

@vivid comet number 1 isn't correct.

#

assuming you're looking for... domains of these functions?

#

in math i don't recommend you memorising methods like a robot.

#

nor this server supports it.

#

so let's step back first, do you know what the domain of a function is?

#

can you try to define it for me with your words? just to be sure.

#

i'm interpeting this as you have the right idea of it but you don't know how to word it.

#

the domain is pretty much the set of all x allowable values in this context.

#

instead of running around through these without a proper grasp of what a domain is, let's have an example. do you know what we can't have in the denominator of a fraction?

#

right. bc we don't want to be dividing by 0.

#

and in an example, f(x)=1/x, what would you do to find the domain?

#

i mean, what did you do to solve it. what was your thinking process to arrive to that?

#

no. on this example i just gave you

#

ok. if you had a function like g(x)=1/(x-3), i'm guessing you'd probably solve for x-3=0, right?

#

yeah.

#

do you know and understand why do we do this?

#

if you don't, please tell me, i want to build a base before moving onto the problems.

#

ok that's fine.

#

by equating the denominator to 0 on a fraction, like you just did on x-3!=0, you are solving for the values of x that make the denominator to be 0.

rapid pecan
#

how do you find x?

somber stone
alpine sable
#

you don't just randomly find a fraction and think oh you equate it to 0, you want to think why you do it, once you understand the reason of methods, not doing this it's pretty much what's causing you all the issues.

#

what is this?

#

no, read what i say carefully. we want to know which values of x make the denominator to be 0. hence solving the equation of denominator=0. if you solve the eqn you will get all the x values that make the denominator to be 0 and hence, the values of x that are excluded from the domain.

#

$$\overbrace{{\color{green}{x-3}}}^{\text{we want to know which values of}\ x \text{ make the {\color{green}{denominator}}}}\overbrace{=0}^{\text{to be 0}}$$

ocean sealBOT
#

AlšŸ›dium

alpine sable
#

no, x is a variable, take a few minutes to try to understand what and why we are doing this.

#

by solving $x-3=0$, we are solving for the values of x that will make the denominator to be 0. $x-3=0 \implies x=3$. and you can check by yourself that by inputting $x=3$ into the function will make the denominator to be 0. $$g(3)=\frac{1}{3-3}=\frac10$$

ocean sealBOT
#

AlšŸ›dium

alpine sable
#

we are almost there, but i can't do much about the time.

#

is this a test?

flat estuary
#

I have no clue what that means.

#

Its algebra right?

alpine sable
#

okay. we don't give away answers here, so i can't do much about the time except for you to try to grasp a good concept of this.

flat estuary
#

Is algebra important???

alpine sable
#

as i said, i can't do much about the time.

#

are you willing to continue this?

#

think of it. is there anything that you want to avoid when there's polynomials like 1?

#

oh no worries, an example of a polynomial is number 1, another examples could be: x²+1, x³-7x+4, 8x+2, etc.

#

involves not having fractional exponents, ie not having fractions or roots.

#

can you really think of any restriction that we want to avoid in polynomials like 1?

#

tell me what you think, don't worry of being wrong.

#

you are here to learn.

#

well, i have to go in 10 minutes precisely to go sleep. if you are interested, we can proceed tomorrow if you tag me to ask any doubts or anything, or you can as well ask away here.

#

yeah.

limpid spade
#

No

alpine sable
#

you may want to errase the black ink parts though.

limpid spade
#

Nvm

alpine sable
#

yeah no, there's a mistake at 2.

limpid spade
#

, yes

#

Not greater than 4x5

#

4,5

alpine sable
#

when dividing both sides by a negative number, you want to flip the inequality sign.

#

and you can take an example to understand why, let's say 5>4, this is totally correct, now let's multiply both sides by a negative number like -1, -5>-4, would you say this is correct? no, you want to flip it, -5<-4.

limpid spade
#

, <, etc

alpine sable
#

no worries, i'll just leave a wall of text before heading to sleep.

#

whenever you read this, read it carefully, it will help build intuition you are missing of right now.

what do we want to avoid ranges with examples like:

  • dividing by 0
  • having a negative number inside a square root or an even-th root.
  • having a non-positive number inside a logarithm.
    these are the basic ones, and you want to remember them whenever you're finding domains of functions, but most importantly why. take h(x)=sqrt(x-3), now think, what do we want to avoid? having negative numbers inside square roots, hence we want to find the values of x that are allowed, the non-negative numbers. and we are going to find this precisely by solving x-3≄0. finding where the inside (x-3) is a non-negative (≄0) number, hence x-3≄0. you can apply this logic for each, just be sure you think why you are doing each thing.

How exactly does one solve b?

shell widget
#

differenciate both sides with respect to x

#

actually no need for chain rule here mb

north hemlock
#

ahhh

#

of course

#

6y-3x-1

shell widget
#

No

north hemlock
#

I'm not sure what else it'd be

#

$$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}[3y-x]=\frac{d}{dx}[3y]-\frac{d}{dx}[x]=3y'-1$$ and then just simplifying $$3\cdot (3y-x)-1=6y-3x-1$$

Hello anyone here?

stiff vortex
#

Can someone help

#

i cant get the right answer

#

i keep getting 3000

#

and using the exact formulas

oak chasm
#

@stiff vortex Find the surface area of the two circles (top and bottom). Find the surface area of the curved rectangle that's its side.

stiff vortex
#

curved rectangle?

#

dude

oak chasm
#

Yes, the side is a rectangle that's bent into a circle.

stiff vortex
#

pretty sure it's a cylinder

oak chasm
#

Right, and if you take a rectangle of steel and bend it into a circle, that's how they make cylidrical cans.

stiff vortex
#

true

#

let me show u what im about to do

#

hold on

oak chasm
#

So, the width of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle. The height is 14.

Yeah, I'd just show that the area of the top and bottom is greater than the area of the whole can and then say the can can't exist.

stiff vortex
#

@oak chasm so ur saying that it's practically impossible for me to get an answer

oak chasm
#

Yeah, the height is negative.

#

So, the can can't exist.

#

Don't forget to convert the 5 inches to centimeters, though.

#

They're being tricky.

oh shit

oak chasm

The area is in square centimeters, but the diameter is in inches.

icy wadi
#

hello could someone help me with this? i'm not sure how to start

oak chasm
#

@icy wadi Do you understand how they start with a square, and then cut isosceles triangles from the corners of the square and how that makes an octagon?

icy wadi
#

yes i get that

oak chasm
#

OK, it's a regular octagon, so all its sides are the same length.

#

OK, so draw that on a diagram.

#

The top side of the octagon will be $2000 - 2 \times $ the leg length of one of the isosceles triangles, right?

icy wadi
#

yea, i got x sqrt(2) for the hypot lengths of the isoceles triangles, i used x for the leg lengths

oak chasm
#

OK, and that equals the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle, since the hypotenuses are octagon sides too.

Can I get some help with parts b and c?

There are about 3 million births per year in a certain country and about 4800 hospitals. For the sake of simplicity, suppose the births over a ten-year period were evenly distributed over all the hospitals, and suppose each of those hospitals divided their births into strings of 19 consecutive births. Assume that boy and girl births are equally likely.

(a) What is the probability of 19 births in a row being boys?

(b) What is the probability, in any one of those hospitals, of having a string of all boys?

(c) Based on your answer to part (b), what is the probability that at least one of those
4800 hospitals would have a string of all boys?

I already solved part a and got 1.907x10^-6. I am not sure how to solve b or c.

Hey, so I ended up with an undefined answer but the answer is -infinity -you can tell by looking at the graph), but I was wondering if there's a way to find it purely algebraically?

charred flint
#

you got rid of the limit too early

#

limit of tan(x) as x approaches pi/2 from the right is -infinity

fickle dock
#

Right, but is there no way to algebraically determine that instead of having to look at the graph?

#

Like sometimes I get an answer that’s 1/infinity, that way I know the limit is 0, but with this I don’t have much to work with other than plugging in small values and evaluating them with a calculator or graphing

What's the fastest way to find the real zero? since it's both plus & minus values, I don't want to go through the hassle of trying every possible zero.....

Also is there a way to determine whether it would be pos or neg for sure?

although you really should write the plus sign

cinder sundial
#

this is the original from my teacher

#

but how'd you know that without lookin at the right side

#

i mean it could be 10*2/5 or 10+2/5 or mixed number which gives you 52/5

#

if the result (108+4/25) of the question didnt being written on the paper, ppl might get mixed up

#

i wanna know how to distinguish them

wicked drum
#

@cinder sundial don't worry about getting them mixed up. There's no way your teacher would want you to think that it is 10x2/5 instead of 10+2/5, otherwise, it would instead be (10x2)/5. The same can be applied to all number, is that 21 really 21 or just 2x1

gray isle
#

when given positive integers, a mixed fraction is implied

the point is mixed fractions are stupid

ionic jewel

i agree

#

and you won't have to deal with them after this

but for the purposes of what you're doing,
$$10 \frac 25 = 10 + \frac 25$$

sullen nova

yoooooo

#

help meh

hollow atlas
#

whats your question ? @sullen nova

sullen nova
#

Why do you let yp in that form?

vale wigeon
#

there is a general method for guessing the form of y_p when the RHS of your equation is made of polynomials, exponentials and trig

#

in general, assuming no resonance:
RHS = polynomial => y_p = polynomial of the same degree
RHS = exponential (e^{kx}) => y_p = Ae^{kx}
RHS = trig (sin(kx) or cos(kx) ) => y_p = A sin(kx) + B cos(kx)

#

there are a lot of caveats that i didn't cover here

#

you may want to look up the method of undetermined coefficients @sullen nova

sullen nova
#

how do you come up with those?

vale wigeon
#

i'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for

#

if you want some intuition on why it's like this, you might consider how polynomials, exponentials and trig behave when you plug them into the LHS (which im assuming is the LHS of a linear constant-coefficient equation)

Given two figures with equal area, calculate the sum of the diagonals of the rhombus. Cos alpha = 0.6

#

I thought area = 24
so we can say that D+d / 2 = 24 or D + d = 48

#

but that's not between the options

novel crag
#

How to do this ?

spring harbor
#

channel taken

vale wigeon
#

D+d / 2 = 24
missing parentheses here...

spring harbor
vale wigeon
#

also what does the sum of the diagonals have to do w/ anything here?

spring harbor
#

The question is asking to calculate it

vale wigeon
#

no i mean why are you just claiming it to be twice the area

spring harbor
#

the areas of the two figures are equal

vale wigeon
#

the area is 24 here as far as i can tell

#

yeah but the area of a rhombus is not equal to 2 times the sum of its diagonals

#

even the units don't check out

spring harbor
#

yeah but isn't the area of the rhombus (D+d)/2 = A?

vale wigeon
#

no it's not. it doesn't even make sense when you consider the units.

#

(D+d)/2 is in meters while A is in square meters

spring harbor
#

Ohhh wait it's D * d

vale wigeon
#

yes, the area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals

spring harbor
#

So D.d = 48 or D= 48/d

#

now we use pythagoras

#

ok i think i have it thanks

#

dont we get like 4 solutions for d? @vale wigeon

#

-8, -6, 6, 8

#

so either 6 or 8

vale wigeon
#

how can a length be negative thonk

#

6 and 8 are the values of your diagonal

#

d is one, D is the other

before anyone accuses me of asking for help to solve hw questions, my question proper is as below:

why is the question correct? As in, why can't i draw a straight line, m>0, with an open point(?) on the line where x=c.
in drawing, it would be a straight line with a circle at a point.

#

as far as i know, the conditions of continuity is as follows:

  1. limit of f(x) exist for all relevant points
  2. f(x) exist for all relevant x
  3. limit of f(x) = f(x) for each corresponding x
#

if i "teleport" a point, it wouldn't be continuous right?

#

oh...is it because it is monotone

#

if i teleport it above(where it should be), the next point is below, therefore, it isn't monotone increasing?

#

but what if i just delete that point then

alpine sable
#

yes

spring harbor
#

I feel like it's wrong because of the pi/2 < x < pi

alpine sable

I don’t understand how to find a real zero from these polynomials in order to do the division process to find the answer. And the linear factoring thing confuses me as well. As for 8, I just need help with 8a

jagged imp
#

Where's 8

hot osprey
#

Sorry lol upload is slow

glass lichen
#

remainder theorem

hot osprey
#

For 8? Or the one above

jagged imp
#

remainder theorem is for 8.

hot osprey
#

What about 4 & 5?

#

Tbh I’m bad at math so a little explanation would be very much helpful and appreciated

jagged imp
#

So as for the process for factoring a polynomial like in the earlier questions, you'll want to find a zero(there are ways to help you guess a zero, but i doubt that's within your curriculum), generally just by guessing small integers until you find a zero. For 4 for instance, -1 was the second number i tried and it ended up being a zero. Then, since we know -1 is a zero, factor theorem tells us that (x+1) is a factor. Then you can divide out (x+1) using synthetic division to express your polynomial as (x+1)*some lower degree polynomial and repeat this process until you get to something like a quadratic that you know how to factor, and then factor that and you're done. In the case of 4 and 5 just being cubic polynomials, you'll only have to go through that process once

#

that explanation could be worded poorly or whatever but i can reference you to a source that'll explain it better than me

hot osprey
#

so i had (x+1)(x^2-5)

jagged imp
#

thats correct so far

hot osprey
#

but isn't x^2-5 non linear?

#

and if i write it as sqrt of 5 then it's also wrong

jagged imp
#

sure, but its a quadratic, which you can factor by completing the square

#

or even easier, difference of squares(although this wont always work)

hot osprey
#

so what would it become?

#

sorry, i am braindead lol

jagged imp
#

using a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) with a=x and b=5, we can write x^2-5=(x-sqrt(5))(x+sqrt(5))

hot osprey
#

oh, so it's ok to have a sq rt?

#

when it ask me linear factor

#

i was so lost in how i could write it w/o radicals

jagged imp
#

if you had something like sqrt(x)-5 that would'nt be linear (edit)

#

but x-sqrt(5) is perfectly linear

#

linear just means you have something that looks like mx+c for constants m and c

hot osprey
#

ah, i see

#

so for 5, i got -2 as a real zero

#

and got x^2+6x+7

#

...i am guessing quadratic formula

jagged imp
#

sorry, im back

hot osprey
#

all good, much thanks for your help brother

jagged imp
#

should have been +2 as a zero but ik thats a typo because you have the right quadratic

#

yeah, quadratic formula or complete the square

hot osprey
#

there's no square

#

QwQ

jagged imp
#

wym

hot osprey
#

x^2+6x+7

#

only quadratic formula works

jagged imp
#

I promise you completing the square here works, you might not know what it means

#

you dont have to, you can use quadratic formula

#

for completing the square, x^2+6x+7=x^2+6x+9-2=(x+3)^2-2

#

thats "where the square is"

#

but again if you havent learnt completing the square you dont have to understand that

hot osprey
#

so i got

#

-3 (+-) sqrt of 2

#

how do i write the equation into the linear factor as asked? (x-2)(?)(?)

jagged imp
#

by factor theorem, -3-sqrt(2) being a zero means (x-(-3-sqrt(2)) is a factor, and the same for the other root

hot osprey
#

really sorry to ask dumb Qs, i recently got back from the army

#

koreans have mandatory service T.T

jagged imp
#

which can get a bit ugly if your poly isn't monic but it is here so w/e

#

i know about that from seeing my favourite league players get drafted 😢

hot osprey
#

i have no clue how to express it

jagged imp
#

yeah that'd be hard though, did you have to stop uni?

hot osprey
#

would you mind showing me?

jagged imp
#

yeah sure

hot osprey
#

no, i went to the army as soon as I turned of age 19, finished it in late 2019. Then I worked for a bit to pay for my tuition and stuff, then got back into college this sem

#

and i tell ya, nothing makes sense no more

jagged imp
#

so we know those factors are (x+sqrt(3)+2) and (x+sqrt(3)-2) by factor theorem

hot osprey
#

yep

jagged imp
#

so the whole thing is (x-2)(x+sqrt(3)+2) (x+sqrt(3)-2)

#

thats pretty much it

hot osprey
jagged imp
#

only thing to be careful of is if the leading coefficient of the quadratic isn't one you'll need to multiply one of those factors by that leading coefficient to make it work

hot osprey
#

Is this it?

jagged imp
#

that is it

hot osprey
#

wow

#

i thought when they said linear factor

#

it has to be like a function of a straight line

#

so i was frying, melting, boiling, liquifying my fkin brain

jagged imp
#

y=x+sqrt(3)+2 is a straight line

#

,w plot y=x+sqrt(3)+2

jagged imp
#

and so is the other one

Sure, but no guarantee I'll answer at any given time with timezone issues and my own life. Explanations by other people on this server will mostly be good if you wanna ask here again i'm sure.

You roll 3 6-sided dice, what is the probability that at least 2 of them are sixes?
I found an online calculator for solving this but I’m wondering about how to solve it without it. I tried to find a formula but my search was unsuccessful.
Thanks in advance

kindred helm
#

do you know the correct answer?

novel quest
#

The calculator said ā€œ0.07407ā€

kindred helm
#

i got 1/9 as the answer

#

so 0.11111...

#

actually 0.08333

#

1/9 cant be right

shell widget
#

Which calculator did u use

novel quest
#

And I used these settings

kindred helm
#

ah i messed up in my calc

#

thats right

#

at least 2 sixes can mean there can be 2 or 3 sixes

#

odds for 3 sixes is 1/216

#

odds for at least 2 is 1/6 * 1/6 * 5/6 and it comes out to 5/216. now you can get 2 sixes in a 3 different way so use nCr(3,2) = 3.

#

then you add 1/216 + 15/216 and u get 2/27 after u simplify it

#

and its 0.074074

#

someone check if i did it right

#

it should be correct

#

Thanks!

how do u work this out on a calculator

#

i know ncd mode but what are upper/lower values

mystic sinew
#

depends on the calculator I think

Hi how do you solve B??

I'm trying to improve my paper by writing how each variable is calculated specifically, and I'm struggling with writing down clean and good looking mathematical interpretations of variables. How do I do this cleanly and professionally?

For instance, a simple example: I have a variable called 'familiar distance' that is calculated for each item i, by summing all participant's p estimates of the items familiar distance, divided by the number of participants. Simple, but what would be the profesionnal way to write this?

Here's my attempt

#

I know its kinda a trivial question, but I want to get good at writing concise and beautiful equations for more complex constructions

#

how about this?

@alpine sable find the coordinates of P, Q and R first, then sketch them on a graph to find out how to get your base and height of the triangle

#

@sullen nova whats ur question

sullen nova
#

on line 3, Do we use { or [ ?

shell widget
#

for the cases?

#

doesnt matter

sullen nova
#

what

#

how come

shell widget
#

who cares what bracket is used

sullen nova
#

one means "and" and another means "or"

#

they have completely different meaning

shell widget
#

lol what

#

really?

sullen nova
#

how don't you know?

shell widget
#

not sure

muted raft
#

this is my first time hearing this as well..

sullen nova
#

bruh

muted raft
#

I always used { for every cases?

sullen nova
#

lmao

alpine sable
#

does {a,b} mean a or b

sullen nova
#

wtf

#

that's a set

indigo jetty
#

if you use those braces, you must have an expression on the left side

#

otherwise it means nothing

#

if you simply want to express an 'or', you might as well just use the word 'or' instead

Oi people, just making sure, how many bisectors that intersect at the same point in a quadrilateral do we need in order to prove that the quadrilateral is tangential again?
