#

don't thank me when i haven't even begun to help.

#

did you think you'd just get the answer handed to you here?

jovial mica
#

no, he will spend quite a while explaining how to solve questions like thatand ask me to try a few questions.

#

but he won't do that question, he will do another question to show us how and then make us do that question.

Why are linear differential equations called so?
According to wiki

In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation that is defined by a linear polynomial in the unknown function and its derivatives, that is an equation of the form

a_0 y + a_1 y' + ... + a_n y^(n) = 0

But why is this form linear? Is it because their solutions follow the rule Sum of any two solutions is another solution ?
I've another naive doubt, the solution of
dy/dx = y, is y = Ce^x
Is e^x linear, no right?

vale wigeon
#

"linear" doesn't mean that any of its solutions has to be of the form y = ax + b

#

if anything, it's called that way as an appeal to linear algebra: the map $L(y) = a_0 y + a_1 y' + \dots + a_n y^{(n)}$ is a linear operator: for any two constants $c_1, c_2$ and functions $y_1, y_2$ you have $$L(c_1y_1 + c_2y_2) = c_1 L(y_1) + c_2 L(y_2)$$

#

this has many profound consequences, including the solution set of a homogeneous DE being closed under addition [and also scaling]

Okay cool, thank you

split fulcrum
#

no idea how to find m or do part b for this problem

split fulcrum
#

<@&286206848099549185>

plucky crow
#

Given the fact that dy/dx is speed

#

And dy/dx = dy/dt * dt/dx

#

It should be fine? Or am I wrong

split fulcrum
#

I'm confused

#

how do i get dt/dx?

#

I found the speed at t = 3, still not sure how to find m

manic quail
#

With mean, they basically mean average, median is just the "middleest" number, and mode is the number that comes most often.

vale wigeon
#

the median is the point that splits your data set in half by point count

#

i.e. half below half above

#

why is square root of y^6 y^3?

vale wigeon
#

because (y^3)^2 = y^6.

#

hi

#

can someone help?

#

can i get help

#

@glass lichen my saviour!

#

wait what it fromatted

glass lichen
#

what?

alpine sable
#

can you help me please if possible

alpine sable
glass lichen
#

no

alpine sable
#

understandable

#

can anyone please correct me if i am wrong ?

#

please, explanation is very much welcomed

#

can i get help i know this is basic math but my braincells about to pop

sturdy fog
#

ohhh thank you @vale wigeon

alpine sable
#

for 1 i got positive infinity

#

for 2 im a bit confused

vale wigeon
#

do you know what the graph of y=tan(x) looks like?

#

alternatively you could write tan(θ) as sin(θ)/cos(θ)

alpine sable
#

@vale wigeon i did and i got 1/0 which i think is positive ifninity

vale wigeon
#

you need to be very careful with 1/0

#

in this case it is positive infinity because cos(x) approaches 0 from above as x goes to pi/2 from below

alpine sable
#

understood

#

and for d i got DNE

vale wigeon
#

that is correct.

alpine sable
#

since from the left its -1 and from the right positive 1

#

awesome

#

does anyone know Statistics problem solving?

alpine sable
#

@vale wigeon what about this one

#

IK that x cant be 3

vale wigeon
#

?

#

what are you asked for

alpine sable
#

I need to find points where f is discontinous

vale wigeon
#

oh

alpine sable
#

sorry the picture cropped wrong

vale wigeon
#

3 isnt even in the domain

alpine sable
#

yeah so its discontinous there right?

#

since it never approaches 3

glass lichen
#

it approaches 3, it's just an asymptote at x=3

alpine sable
#

yeah

#

so isnt that a sign of discontinuity?

glass lichen
#

you just need to see if $\lim_{x\to 5}f(x)=4$

ocean sealBOT
#

moshill1

glass lichen
#

to determine if that point is a jump or not

alpine sable
#

well

#

as x approaches 5- the lim = 2

#

as x approaches 5+ lim is also 2

#

however at 5, y = 4

glass lichen
#

yes, so it's jump discontinuous

alpine sable
#

but why is that the only discontinuity

#

why isnt x = 3 a discontinuit?

glass lichen
#

it is

#

No one said it wasnt

alpine sable
#

so what should i say for that

#

since it isnt a concrete point?

#

asymptote discontuity?

glass lichen
#

yes... it's an infinite discontinutiy / vertical asymptote

alpine sable
#

got it

#

sorry if i am frustrating you in any way, im just trying to understand

#

this one im uite stumped

#

i cant set them equal to each other

#

and neither can i subsitiute anything

alpine sable
# alpine sable

you want ax^2+bx to go through the points (1,4) and (2,10)

#

yes but how do i get it

alpine sable
#

@alpine sable but they're not equal to anything

#

i have a+b and 4a+2b

alpine sable
#

a(1)^2+b(1)=4

#

do the same thing for the second bit

#

i got 1 and 3 for a and b respectively

#

so x^2+3x?

#

@alpine sable

alpine sable
#

@alpine sable

#

im having troube with c and d

kindred helm
#

hey guys i got a circle like this. the task is to figure out the alpha angle with out any cas calculators but i did it on geogebra. how can you do it neatly on paper

alpine sable
#

f(x) is continuous, use IVT

alpine sable
alpine sable
#

for b i got y+1 = 8x-8

#

derivative = slope of tangent line

#

for c i wanna say its decreasing at x = 11 since slope of tangent line is negative

alpine sable
#

rate of change is negative

#

got it

#

and for the last one

alpine sable
#

since f'(5) = 0

alpine sable
#

got it

#

@alpine sable finally, i have this monstrosity

#

discontinuity at x=5

#

also functions won't be differentiable at "sharp points" like this

#

can someone give me the gist on how to answer this question?

In how many ways can a committee of 6 persons be chosen from 10 single ladies and 8 men if there must be 2 men and 4 ladies?

#

i know how to solve combinations but i dont know how if there's more than two variables

alpine sable
analog terrace
#

oh so i get the number of combinations from each gender then multiply or add?

alpine sable
#

you multiply

#

because if you take one specific combination of two men you have (10C4) ways to choose the women

Does anyone know the answer to this?

modest crow
#

pythagoras

pearl wraith
#

no

modest crow
#

idk the mathematician but

#

hypotenus AC=18+r

pearl wraith
#

use the 30 and 18 to find A angle

modest crow
#

they want the radius, why you making it complex

pearl wraith
#

then using thatangle you can find r

alpine sable
#

you don't need trig

#

just use pythagorean theorem

modest crow
#

you cant find the angle with AC=18+r, homie

#

it gets complicated

analog terrace
#

@alpine sable my answer is 5880. am i right?

alpine sable
alpine sable
#

i though you were answering the geometry question

analog terrace
alpine sable
#

yes 5880 is right

#

Suppose I have a bunch of 2D points and I'd like to find 5 of them where (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5) * (y1 + y2 + y3 + y4 + y5) gives the maximum value, what's an efficient algorithm to do it?

#

If one exists, is it possible to extend to 3D points?

ionic jewel
#

you have many points and you want to choose 5 of them?

lean nest
#

Correct, choose the 5 of them that will produces the highest value of sum of xs * sum of ys

ionic jewel
#

i dont have a proof but im fairly sure picking the 5 with highest x*y will give you the highest sum of xs * sum of ys

#

ah perhaps not i see a case im missing

lean nest
#

Yeah, it's like diminishing return, say if the sum of xs are pretty large already a point with large y would be better.

#

I do have an algorithm that performs decently well but it's more or less brute force with clever tricks to eliminate cases, and it doesn't scale if it's 3D points instead of 2D.

#

I thought I'd ask and see how this problem could be approached from math angle rather than CS.

ionic jewel
#

alr burrito mind if i ping you later if i figure it out

lean nest
#

I would appreciate that, I don't check here too often.

#

Alternatively, if you guys know how I would Google this question, I'm guessing there has to be a solution already

#

This seems to be a question that's very applicable in many fields to optimize things.

ionic jewel
#

i do think my original idea would be quick and close to optimal tho

#

I'm pretty sure you would have to go out of your way to find a case it doesn't cover

alpine sable
#

yo can sum1 help me with a equation?

lean nest
#

Here's one, if you pick first 4 points plus 5th you will get 81809, but first 4 with 6th you will get 83408 which is better, despite 6th point has lower individual product than 5th.

alpine sable
lean nest
#

Good idea

#

I haven't done math in a really long time, time to pull out pen and paper.

#

Though I'm not hopeful in solving this, feels a bit out of my knowledge.

ionic jewel
#

yeah I'm not entirely sure how to even solve the 2 case

alpine sable
lean nest
#

No, this is a tool that I'm coding, so real world application.

alpine sable
#

this might help

#

this'll give us an upper bound but we'd still need to show that the upper bound is possible

#

idk how you'd code an algorithm to return the set of points that'd get you closest to the optimal value except just guess-and-checking

lean nest
#

Brute force is pretty much how the current algorithm operates, so even if there's a way to determine which points would not be useful at all that would still massively reduce the search space and improve algorithm performance.

#

Because some searches are like "pick 5 from 1200 points" and it takes sometimes up to 20 seconds to compute, which is fast but nowhere near ideal.

alpine sable
#

i might have an idea for how to optimize it

#

assign each point (x,y) a sum value which would be equal to x+y

#

and we would only pick from the points that tie in the top 5 ranks for the sum value

#

wait idk if that would work

lean nest
#

Hmm, I don't think that works

#

If x overshadows y in magnitude, then that would definitely be wrong.

alpine sable
#

well we can definitely eliminate all the points that have an x and a y that are both less than or equal to the x and y of some other point

#

so for example if we have (6,5) and (6,4) and a bunch of other points then choosing (6,4) wouldn't be optimal

lean nest
# lean nest

I think you would run into the same problem as this

#

Assigning a "value" for individual points doesn't feel right to me, because the value of a point is also dependent on the value of other previously chosen points.

alpine sable
#

no i'm talking about points where the x and the y are both less than or equal to the x and a y for another point

lean nest
#

Oh then sure yeah.

#

Hmm, well you could only eliminate them if you get to finding the 5th though, no?

alpine sable
#

true if you have (2,3) (2,2) and 3 (1,1)'s you couldn't just eliminate the (2,2) straight off the bat

lean nest
#

Yep, and also two groups with distinct characteristics.

#

Say one group has higher xs and another group has higher ys

#

Even though some points in their respective groups are clearly worse than others, you can't eliminate them.

alpine sable
#

Anyone cam correct me?

alpine sable
# lean nest Because some searches are like "pick 5 from 1200 points" and it takes sometimes ...

i might have an idea
start with all the points in group 1
if point A in the group is (x1,y1) and some arbitrary point B in the group is (x2,y2) and either of (x1<y1 and y1<=y2) or (x1<=y1 and y1<y2) is true then we call point A non-optimal
remove all non-optimal points from group 1 and put them into group 2
rinse and repeat, put all non-optimal points from group 2 into group 3 and so on until you finish
first guess-and-check by choosing random combos of 5 numbers from group 1
if you don't have enough points in group 1 then you'd guess-and-check by choosing random combos of 5 numbers from group 1 and group 2, and so on
i think this would save time for large sets because hopefully a lot of the numbers would be removed from group 1, and for large sets we would probably have more than 5 points to choose from in group 1 so the pool of numbers you would guess-and-check from would be a lot smaller

#

but the code for placing everything into groups might take even more time to run

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

alpine sable
lean nest
#

Hmm, I'm not quite seeing how it reduces search space

alpine sable
#

yeah because you'd have to compare a point to all the other points to see if it's non-optimal

#

i dont think it'd help

lean nest
#

Yeah the goal is to reduce search space as much as possible, because 1000 choose 5 is like 10 to the 12th power

#

The currently algorithm does a really good job at reducing search space most of the time to only a few hundred thousand (kind of arbitrary without knowing the dataset but just to give an idea)

#

Otherwise that amount of calculation is not possible even with all the computing power in the world.

Hello, can someone help me with GCF and LCM? So GCF=greatest common factor, so for example, 36=2²×3² and 44=2²×11 then the GCF is 2² (it's the common and the greatest) is this correct?

#

and for LCM=Least common multiple, for the same example, 36=2²×3² and 44=2²×11. can we say in other words for the LCM, it's all the different and greatest? so in this case,LCM= 2²×3²×11. Am I right?

#

I've really been struggling, help would be so appreciated🥰

fresh quail
ionic jewel
#

LCM you need all the unique ones

fresh quail
#

and the greatest?

ionic jewel
#

im not sure specifically what you mean with your wording but your answer is right

next pulsar
#

Is it enough to solve q(x)=0 and show none of the solutions lie within Z_2 in order to prove it?

sly rose
#

Yes but that would be more trouble than needed

next pulsar
#

Well my first instinct was to just plug in 0 and 1 and show both times q=1

#

Is that really all?

sly rose
#

Almost all

#

You also need to try it for -1

next pulsar
#

huh? Now I’m confused, I swear -1 = 1 (mod 2)

sly rose
#

There is no need for mod 2

#

You just use the fact that if g(a) is positive and g(a+1) is negative or vice versa than there is at least a solution that is not an integer (a is an integer)

#

Well ofc you can use mod 2

#

To show that it’s always odd

next pulsar
#

Still don’t understand why I’m allowed to input a number not in Z_2 into q tho

Polimomials are basically functions defined in In the complex number (unless the problem tells you it’s not)

how would i arrange the -2x bit to get |x-c| on its own

shell widget
#

you can get |x+c| idk about |x-c|

#

| -2|x| + 2|c| | = | 2|c| - 2|x| | = | |2c| - |2x| | <= |2c + 2x| = 2|x+c|

#

by reverse triangle inequality

sly mantle
#

use reverse triangle the way it's usually stated

#

||x|-|y||=<|x-y|

shell widget
#

oh is it both?

#

| |x| - |y| | <= |x-y| and |x+y|

#

?

#

oh it is nvm

sly mantle
#

the ineq w/ |x+y| is from applying triangle again

shell widget
#

I see

#

Ty

latent mist
#

how come when you differentiate (5x-3)^3 its 15(5x-3)^2 and not 3(5x-3)^2

sly mantle
#

actually no it's not but it still stands

latent mist
#

oh

#

sry if i interrupted

sly mantle
#

not you

latent mist
sly mantle
#

use chain, and don't use x for multiplication if x means a variable

latent mist
#

yes

#

didnt mean to put that x there

#

but the book im using didnt use chain rule to get that

shell widget
#

Derivative of (ax + b)^n is n(ax+b)^(n-1) * [d/dx (ax+b)]

#

This is power rule + chain rule

#

If 1 doesn't work, try 2.

#

Depending on whether the natural numbers are considered to contain 0 or not.

ionic jewel
#

the way i was answering it you sum up all the numbers from 1 to n, then divide by n

#

and if you happen to know what the sum of numbers 1 to n is, then its easy to do that way

#

otherwise using chai's intuition way would be better

@alpine sable Use a calculator.

alpine sable

#

@oak chasm 0 is not in natural numbers in this problem

#

wouldnt make sense

#

almost certainly 1 to n

strange raft
#

yeah that's what i thought

ionic jewel
#

does 0 to n give an answer?

#

no

#

its 1 to n

oak chasm
#

Sure it does.

ionic jewel
#

not one of the choices

oak chasm
upbeat wagon
#

WHTA 1+1 IM SO CONFUSED

oak chasm
#

It matches one of the choices.

strange raft

oh yeah my bad

#

im pretty sure its 1 to n still

upbeat wagon

#

ummmfmfmfmffmfmfmfmfm do u guys do area model?

#

yes

strange raft
oak chasm
#

n + 1/2 uses PEMDAS.

to make it more obvious

uneven stratus
#

OH, cannot believe I did not see it; it is a derivative

glass lichen
#

yes, f(x)=x^n, and you want f'(1)

so n(1)^(n-1)=n

uneven stratus
#

Haha, that is true xd thanks
Now I see why expanding might work (as I cannot use that fact to solve this)

yeah, expanding it out would basically just be proving power rule again

I suppose you could find the solutions of the quadratic and if the quadratic is meant to be a root of the polynomial P then P(x_1) = P(x_2) = 0.

Both

#

Like how can I find the value of (x)

for 4.

#

actually ignore 3 I think I'm capable of that

glass lichen
#

ok well if sin(x) is 5/13, and x is in quadrant 2, you can draw a right triangle in that quadrant with signed side lengths

#

namely an opposite side of 5, and hypotenuse 13, so the missing side will be on the negative x-axis and have a value of -12

#

so cos(x)=-12/13

I am trying to solve this question but I got part b incorrect. Can someone take a look and explain where I went wrong?

There are about 2 million births per year in a certain country and about 4400 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?

#

solve for k using the 24g/day

blazing rose
#

so ik that 24 is a rate

#

oh wait

#

24 = ky

#

?

glass lichen
#

24=k(1)

#

since every day it increases 24g/day

blazing rose
#

why is y = 1

next void
#

@noble sinew How would I round it? If I type in 4.5768x10^-4 into my calculator then I get 4.5768E-4 and not 0.0005 which is the correct answer. Can you explain it to me.

glass lichen
#

cause after 1 day, the rate of change is 24g/day

noble sinew
#

what does 4.67768*10^(-4) mean?

#

it means 0.00045678

#

türk var mı varsa dm çok acil

blazing rose
#

can you go through it from step 1

glass lichen
#

Ok, solve for k

blazing rose
#

dy/dt = 24

#

so we set 24 = ky

glass lichen
#

yes

blazing rose
#

now where did u get y = 1

glass lichen
#

cause it's been 1 day

blazing rose
#

because it says at t = 0 dydt = 24

glass lichen
#

dy/dt = kt, every day it increases by 24g/day

blazing rose
#

its ky?

glass lichen
#

ky yes

#

whatever

blazing rose
#

oh ok

#

so its increasing at a rate of 24g/day ok

#

but that is true when t = 0

glass lichen
#

Ok let's do it differently.. have you solved the DE?

blazing rose
#

de?

#

what does that stand for

glass lichen
#

$\dv{y}{t}=ky\implies \frac{1}{y}\dd{y}=k\dd{t}\implies \ln(\abs{y})=kt+C\implies y(t)=Ae^{kt}$

blazing rose
#

differential equation

#

ah

ocean sealBOT
#

moshill1

blazing rose
#

y = Ae^(kt)

glass lichen
#

yes

blazing rose
#

is that a formula i should know?

lost steeple
#

@glass lichen Hey so I found the 12 but how do I find "x"?

blazing rose
#

bruh

glass lichen
#

I mean it's the general solution to y'=ky

lost steeple
#

@blazing rose Srry to interrupt

blazing rose
#

oh got it

glass lichen
#

but just do the seperation, it's not hard

blazing rose
#

yeah ok ok

#

then u just plug in ?

glass lichen
#

anyway, t=0 means y=120

#

so A=120

blazing rose
#

(0, 120)

#

ok

next void
#

@noble sinew Thank you for the explanation. I should have realized that.

blazing rose
#

so A = y intercept?

glass lichen
#

so then $\dv{y}{t}=120ke^{kt}$

but, what do you plug in for x to get a value for a

#

@glass lichen

glass lichen
#

solve the limit and set it equal to 15

alpine yacht
#

can i just plug in any number for x?

#

i dont know what to do from here, i am stcuk

glass lichen
#

solve the limit, what do you get?

alpine yacht
#

wait, do you plug 15 for a?

glass lichen
#

no

#

solve the limit

alpine yacht
#

idk what to do with 2 varaibles

glass lichen
#

$\lim_{x\to a}\frac{x^2-a^2}{x-a}=\lim_{x\to a}(x+a)=2a$

#

what do i do after i find the limit

glass lichen
#

Like I said already

Hi! Does anyone know whether the Lagrangian multipliers method can yield critical points that are saddle points?

#

^ multivariable calculus

#

I'm attempting to show that a solution I found by using the Lagrangian method is the maximum but the following reasoning:
(1) I found only one critical point, so that point must be the absolute maximum or the absolute minimum
(2) if I pick another point and its value is less than that of the critical point, then the critical point is the absolute maximum

#

But if the Lagrangian yields saddle points, then I can no longer use this reasoning

slender marten
#

Critical points can be saddle points.

#

You can use the second derivative test to determine if it's a local minimum or local maximum though.

#

Any help with this guys? part a = 9x^2 + 3 but what is part b??

slender marten
#

The derivative of the denominator is 9x^2 + 3 = 3(3x^2 + 1). Therefore if you factor out a three then the top is the derivative of the bottom hence you can either know the answer is 1/3ln|bottom| + c or use substitution with u = 3x^3+3x to verify this is indeed true.

<@&286206848099549185> help

factor out x so you have x^9 * [1 - (3/x^3)]^9 and then use binomial theorem which should be easy

stark blade
#

wouldnt it just be 80% of 1656 ? @slender dirge

#

since height is 80% of width and that '1656 sq feet' is the width

#

have to use cramer's rule, and some kind of matrix method to do it

#

<@&286206848099549185>

slender marten
#

There's a nice way to remember Cramer's rule.

slender marten
#

The trick is this.

#

You can write it in the form Ax = b.

#

Where x = [u v w]^T (stand it up).

glass lichen
#

$\begin{bmatrix}u\v\w\end{bmatrix}$

ocean sealBOT
#

moshill1

slender marten
#

To solve for u, the first one, you do the fraction of two determinants, the numerator being the determinant of the original matrix A but replace the first column, the way to remember this is the u is the first one in the vector, with the vector b, then the denominator is just the determinant of A.

#

Similarly for the v, the second one, you do the fraction but in the numerator this time you replace the second column with the vector b.

#

The exact same pattern for solving for w.

#

This is why to have a unique solution, the determinant of A must be non-zero, since Cramer's rule has it in the denominator and of course the classic divide by zero error.

manic glade
#

how can i prove/disprove this function is injective? f: Q->Q x<=0

shell widget
#

for one-to-one or injectivity, if we have f(x_1) = f(x_2), we must have x_1 = x_2

worthy verge
manic glade
#

but how do i go about doing that

slender marten
#

Oh, I was looking at (a).

#

That is quite the conundrum.

worthy verge
#

acutally, now that i think about it, i just ignore the fact theat they are fractions and continue like they were whole numbers?

worthy verge
#

so i just inverse both sides ?

#

If you get what i mean

slender marten
#

Maybe just write 1/x as x^(-1), 1/y = y^(-1) and 1/z = z^(-1)and let these be the things in the vector.

worthy verge
#

Ok give me a minute ill try it out

slender marten
#

Yeah, I think that will do it, then just solve for 1/x, 1/y and 1/z as normal.

#

No reason for it not to, could just say 1/x = a, 1/y = b and 1/z = c, I guess you just have to know any solution on a coordinate axes does no exist.

slender marten
#

I can try it.

#

Them compare answers.

worthy verge
#

i got x^-1=3, after finding determinant x diving by determinant made up of numbers on the left of equation only

#

if you know what i mean

slender marten
#

I got x = 4.

#

1/x = (-3)/(-12).

worthy verge
slender marten
#

I get answers.

#

I'll take a picture of my quick work.

#

x = 4, y = -4 and z = 2.

#

They don't seem to satisfy the first equation though.

#

I just recheck my main determinant in the denominator.

worthy verge
#

my det is -3

slender marten
#

Ok, that's my error.

#

No idea how I got -12, I double check what I entered.

worthy verge
#

thats a clever way to represent your answers i really like the presentation

I know it's an easy question but I just don't see how to start

do you have any ideas for part c at least?

Nice. 🙂

#

sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), you should be able to use your results of sin(x) and cos(x).

Since sin x=4/5 we have a (3, 4, 5) triangle and we can define all sines and cosines, cos x = 3/5

OK, are there shapes other than squares where the fencing can surround a larger area?

no

thats pretty shapist

I assume this question requires trial and error and you just have to find the maximum area in which she can use

why only squares?

sterile zealot
#

...is that 21 * 12?

#

I think I did it wrong

#

No its 16*12+130

#

the area is 65 for both triangles,

sterile zealot
#

Ah-ah!

tacit breach
#

actually its not

sterile zealot
#

The diagonal is not the height

tacit breach
#

yeaah 🤦 didnt notice i did that

sterile zealot
#

Common mistake, my friend

#

Even then, each triangle is half

tacit breach
#

oh well

sterile zealot
#

Putting them together would be the whole value of the triangles's length times the height

tacit breach
#

Yeah

sterile zealot
#

Combine that with the rectangle...

#

Alternatively, once you find the height you can just do (16 + 5) × h

#

Hence my asking if that was

#

21 × 12

right triangle, hypotenuse 10 other lines are 6 and 8

#

i have to calculate the centroids distance from the hypotenuse

#

how to do this?

vale wigeon
#

are you ok with coordinate-bashing

kindred helm
#

the tip provided in my textbook says: i gotta calculate the centroids distance from the other lines first

#

then somehow use the area of the triangle to my advatnage

#

i have 0 clue i have never seen something like this

vale wigeon
#

can you make a diagram?

#

maybe things will make a little more sense when you can see what's going on.

kindred helm
#

u mean a picture?

#

sketch it out?

vale wigeon
#

sure, if you want to call it that

kindred helm
#

ive done that on paper

alpine sable
#

if you find the centroid you'll see something interesting

#

i won't spoil it but you don't need to coordinate bash

kindred helm
#

im assuming all the medians still work in right triangles

#

as they do in normal triangles

alpine sable
#

of course

#

why would they not

draw them

#

I don’t understand

vale wigeon
#

also you are intruding in an occupied channel

kindred helm
#

okay well im assuming that making a height line from the right angle towards the hypotenuse should help me

#

that goes through the centroid

vale wigeon
#

the altitude won't go through the centroid

kindred helm
#

ah okay

vale wigeon
#

...not necessarily anyway

kindred helm
#

huh

vale wigeon
#

okay yeah good

kindred helm
#

so

#

ah

#

AFB

vale wigeon
#

give a name to the centroid

#

say M

#

you can actually drop perpendiculars from A and M onto BC and establish a pair of similar triangles

#

since the medians in a triangle split each other in a 2:1 ratio

kindred helm
#

doesnt AFB have 2 same lines

vale wigeon
#

?

kindred helm
#

the triangle AFB

#

FB is 5

#

AF is 5

#

AB is 6

vale wigeon
#

oh, AFB is isosceles

#

i overlooked that because my suggestion had nothing to do with it

kindred helm
#

so the distance from the centroid to the hypotenuse should be 1/3 * 5?

#

hmm its not

#

i checked the answer

vale wigeon
#

i didn't say it should be 5/3...

kindred helm
#

yeah i did

#

it has to be 5/3

#

my textbook has it as 8/3

#

no way its that big..

vale wigeon
#

?!

#

we are finding the distance to the hypotenuse are we not

kindred helm
#

yea

vale wigeon
#

that would not be 8/3

kindred helm
#

yes

vale wigeon
#

if anything, assuming i didn't fuck up, it's 4/5.

kindred helm
#

well my textbook has it as 8/3 and i think its 5/3 because the medians cut in 2:1

#

bcs AF is 5 and after the line goes through the centroid

#

its 1/3

vale wigeon
#

AF is not perpendicular to BC tho

gray isle
#

,w distance from (2,8/3) to x/6+y/8 =1

kindred helm
#

wtf im blind it is 8/5 in my textbook

#

why did i look it as 8/3

#

i still dont get it lol

#

maybe i need to think about it for a bit longer

gray isle
#

well you should have the coordinate of the centroid and equation of the hypotenuse

kindred helm
#

the tip in my book was to use the area of the triangle and the distance to the other lines, you got an idea how this is done?

#

distance from the centroid

gray isle
#

1 sec

kindred helm
#

if u know can say a few hintss

#

i wanna try at least

gray isle
#

ok. drawing lines from the centroid to the vertices gives you 3 triangles with the same area

knotty garnet
#

even better

kindred helm
#

oh true it does

knotty garnet
#

if you draw all 3 medians, you get 6 triangles all of equal area

#

after you prove that

#

i recommend proving the following statement:

The centroid divides each median into two segments with length ratio 2:1.

#

these are two extremely useful concepts regarding centroids that anyone working with them should know

gray isle
#

don't really even need that applying the previous property

knotty garnet
#

yeah i just think it's good moving forwards

kindred helm
#

okay now i know that theres 6 triangles with area 4

#

and the big triangle is 24

#

i just solved it

#

wait no i didnt

#

yeah cnt solve it

#

trying to solve it how my textbook tells me to

gray isle
#

the perpendicular (shortest) distance from the centroid to the hypotenuse will be the altitude of your triangle

kindred helm
#

yea the height

#

or does altitude mean a diff thing here

gray isle
#

more or less the same

#

consider the triangle BCM will have an area of 8

kindred helm

yep

gray isle
#

treat the hyp of the big triangle as the base (which has length 10)

#

and then apply formula for area

#

1/2 * 10 * h = 8

how could i miss that

#

i tried making it way too complex

#

it's a little blurred, but my answers are

  1. OE bisects <HOP - Given
  2. OE perpendicular HP - Given
  3. OE = OE - Reflexive Property of Congruence
  4. HE = PE - definition of a midpoint

this is all i can think of...

oh yeah. I didn't add it because there's no other right angle sign in the right side and I thought they're not equal because of that

ionic jewel
#

it has to be 90 degrees

whoops

find the probability that a number between 1 and 10^n is a perfect square in terms of 'n'

#

can't seem to find the sol without using the int() function

#

posted here @keen widget''welcome :)

alpine sable
#

oh god

#

im sorry other tejas :(

alpine sable
#

floor ( sqrt(10^n) ) / 10^n

alpine sable
#

i got something similar but im trying to find a sol without using functions like int(), floor(), etc.

#

ye 😂

#

thx tho

teal rune
#

uh

#

anyone know

#

really basic trig

#

that can help

#

my mind isnt working rn

alpine sable
#

sure

teal rune
#

oh cool

#

#22

#

I tried doing

#

using cosine

#

because i labelled the opposite as 45 and 30 on adjacent

alpine sable
#

angle of elevation is 39 deg

teal rune
#

yes

alpine sable
#

so its a 90-39-51 triangle

#

use the law of sines

teal rune
#

agreed

alpine sable
#

so sin 39/ 45 = 1/x and you can substitute

#

if it isn't clear i can write the sol and send a pic in 10 mins

teal rune
#

but 39 isnt a side?

alpine sable
#

no 39 deg is the angle of elevation

#

given

teal rune
#

yes

teal rune
#

sure

#

it helps

#

i thought of soh

#

opposite/hyp

alpine sable
#

alr i just need some time 😁

teal rune
#

yeah my end formula was

#

x = 45/cos39degrees

alpine sable
#

i think you confused cos with sin

#

or wair

#

there's another way

teal rune
#

i just did sin

#

and it didnt work

#

ended with

#

x = 45/sin39

#

can u send a pic of the triangle u made
