we all need help
You need to read the rules before you ask questions...
Go to a channel that isn't occupied
oops 
It's all good ๐
mhm
and it ends at (2, y), right?
Why?
well, if we examine the right end of the line segment
it ends at x = 2 and the line segment is horizontal, so the y-coordinate is the same as that of the left endpoint
By line segment you mean (x,y) right?
"The y-coordinate is the same as that of the left endpoint" do you mean that the y value is constant along the segment?
Just seeing if I follow
Guys I need some help finding how I got an answer. I got it right one a test a while ago but the teacher gave me a zero on the problem. I found it an unusual way an totally forgot how I did. Now to get credit and stay in honors, I need to show how I got it. Anyone willing to help?
No, by line segment, I literally mean the red thing I drew
can someone teach me algebra 2 inverse trig ๐ฅบ
Yes I meant the red line
The left endpoint is (x, y), and the right end point is (2, y)
because the red line is horizontal
So is it 2-x in reference to the distance from the right to the left? i.e x=0 covers the entire shape and x=2 covers nothing
<@&286206848099549185> Sorry to tag. But, I really need your help.
I hope you don't mind.
channel occupied?
I assume no ?
ok so I have this physics problem and I am sure I have the right answer but I have been told I might be missing something , what I want is input on what I might be missing
A coin (treat it as uniform disc) of radius r with negligible thickness and mass M rolls without slipping in a circle. The centre of mass of the coin moves in a horizontal circle of radius R and the axis of the coin is tilted at an angle ฮ with respect to the vertical. Find the angular velocity of the centre of mass of the coin?
ok so the COM is rolling in a circle about the axis through our assumed origin
if we know the normal force we should be able to get the component of this normal fore along the radius of rotation
and then get angular velocity
what am I missing /?
What does it mean "roll in a circle"
imagine that you roll a coin on its side
and it kinda goes in a circle before falling flat on its side
that's basically what the situation is
I dont understand
I see
also I could be right so if you agree with me you can share that as well
I feel like this is an angular momentum problem
but I am leaning on me being incorrect as well due to the (treat it as disc) which sounds dumb
so do I
ok so the COM is rolling in a circle about the axis through our assumed origin
COM is not rolling, it is just moving in a circle
you have a net torque on the coin which constantly changes its angular momentum
thats what I meant
Friction is ignored right?
I think rolling resistance is ignored, but the friction that lets the coin tilt isn't
So you think we cannot take the only force acting on the coin to be gravity?
normal has to act as well
You mean normal friction?
There are two forces acting on the coin.
Gravitational force, and friction force in the direction of the radius of rolling circle.
no, and there's an upward force on the coin's edge
there's an up arrow too
oh
probably doesn't matter, though
But can we ignore this red friction.
Can the coin travel like this without this friction?
I guess not
I think vrafaeli is correct
Something must push it inwards
That's what Saccharine said
there is the non-slip condition, which demands that there is static friction involved
yeah I mean both of you are correct
I don't know how this did not cross my mind maybe I should sleep thank you guys
I think I'll try solving it again
THis is actually pretty strange, I dont know how does the coin not fall ๐
Similarly there is that rolling wheel on the rope that rises vertically if you turn it horizontally.
yeah these examples are pretty similar iirc
Never understood that.
And also that gyroscope or how is it called. That small turning thing.
Well, and the bycicle itself.
basically, there's a net torque, but it's used to change the direction of the angular momentum
similar to how if you have uniform circular motion, you can have a force toward the center, but the speed always stays the same
Yea, I understand there must be similar analogy, but I kind of dont see it clearly ๐
So there is a torque (blue) with respect to the orange axis.
Iโm having trouble with some problems like one that at the end the answer to x are fractions like letโs take 3x+4 =6 - x the value is 1/2 and I couldnโt solve it cna some help like explain it
And the angular momentum is with respect the cyan axis.
try isolating the x
there should be two components of angular momentum actually if I am not wrong
Oh yea, one is rotation around purple.
that is what makes this problem royally messy and why I wanted to avoid this but there's no way to avoid it ๐ฆ
<@&268886789983436800>
The torque comming from blue force can be represented by the orange arrow.
I am afraid to ask a question
Now this is perpendicular to both the cyan and purple angular momentums
Can help me
try a different channel please?
@alpine sable Read #โhow-to-get-help
I know I read that already
I am afraid to show my work
And you might laugh at me if you think it's easy
no1's gonna laugh that is against the rule too but just use a different channel
the second rule
Are you trolling?
Read #โhow-to-get-help
No
Then read #โhow-to-get-help
I know I just need to send my work right
this guy is trolling -.-
And ask if it's right
Eh?
anyways sincde he's trolling
If you dont want to read #โhow-to-get-help ill have to ping moderator
oh my bad
read #โhow-to-get-help
I did read it
@strong furnace Is there only one angular momentum, as the sum of all momentums?
It says don't ask to ask
I guess we could write it in vector form
Just ask
since the directions don't match
It says
but the part that is changing is only one part of this
We can sum cyan and purple anuglar momentums to get the resulting momentum
And orange is added to that
Or not ๐
Can we like sum angular momentums of different axis
the thing is
the torque is perpendicular
to both our angular momentum components
which means its only changing the direction
Yes.
which makes sense
Sorry, didnโt make sure this channel was used
not the purple one for sure so it has to be cyan
How do you know it is not the purple
I am visualizing it
com is rotating about an axis
that is what the cause of purple is
no matter what happens the direction wouldn't change
but maybe a better argument is needed
more mathematical
You need to listen to 90min of Richard Gere: https://youtu.be/ZTNip78TUvA?t=1186
but this is addition of angular momentum in quantum mechanics
I saw that something is fishy ๐
so basically someone bought a two products the total amount is 134.8euro and how much he bought was 28.4kg the products prices are 4.1euro/kg and the other one 5.7euro/kg. Then I need to know how much he bought each of the items.
OK, if you check this image, and if we immagine that you can sum angular momentums, then adding torque (orange) will rotate the angular momentum sum around purple.
this is actually first year physics maybe walter lewin covers it but his lectures got removed
cause he sexual molester ๐
gimme a sec to think about this
?
orange is coming out of the screen right? if yes then this all makes sense to me
angular momentum is a vector quantity, and it's related to angular velocity by the inertia tensor / moments of inertia
but I forgot almost everything about this a long time ago
we will have to individually add the angular velocity product with moment along axis for every component
to gt the angular momentum
thanks!!!
yes, but can you sum the two angular momentums from the different axis or rotation. I guess, why not?
I don't think this gets you the angular momentum, because IIRC, you have cross-moments between the axes
and these also go in
You can likely sum angular momentums that are repective to the COM.
this is something I agree with and what I meant
But here we have that axis and purple axis. These two also intersect.
Just not at the COM.
so basically someone bought a two products the total amount is 134.8euro and how much he bought was 28.4kg the products prices are 4.1euro/kg and the other one 5.7euro/kg. Then I need to know how much he bought each of the items.
Can someone help me out literally confused a f.
But if we can sum them, then we are done ๐
@sacred sleet Have you read #โhow-to-get-help
I was thinking of going through a basic approach
taking an instant t and then t+dt
finding the vector differencce
and equating that to the torque
that acted in this instant
that seems like a workable approach
and whatever I get from there
using that to understand how to approach this
using whatever we already have here
the video won't load for me for some reason but euler disk are something else I think
gn thank you for the help
cannot think any more
I will go through what I thought and see where that takes me
ok is this like
( @strong furnace also try ask on Phisics discord )
done now?
@sacred sleet yes
mk

(btw you have 9 other channels :D, why you like this one so much)
because ppl go here first
is there anyone on here who can help with intro to stats?
not true I always prefer channel 8 or 9 over any other channel
Me too.
channel 8 and 9 gang
134.8 [euro] = 4.1 [euro/kg]*mass_x + 5.7 [euro/kg]*mass_y
mass_x + mass_y = 28.4 [kg]
mhm
These are two equations with two unknowns. So you solve it as a system.
For example isolate mass_x from the second equation.
mass_x = 28.4[kg] - mass_y
and put this into first equation.
In brackets I put the units, which are nice to preserve, but you can ignore them
Mk tysm
You can use wolfram alpha to verify your result
It can solve these equations in no time
I thought I needed a value which left me confused

What does that mean
finding x, leaving x to one side
so you can find x, which is x = 1/2
Do you know how to do end behavior with limits?
I still donโt understand Iโm stupid bye Iโm in 7th grade and these are 5th grade questions
so,
you see x is unknown right?
you gotta know x
since x is in both sides of the equation,
you gotta try isolating x
so it comes out like x=blah blah
so in your question, 3x+4 =6 - x
you move x to a side you desire, in this case left,
it will become 3x+x=6-4
note when you want to move a number to another side of the equals, it turns negative to positive, and vice vers
then find x
is this channel in use
Hey buddy
hi
log(0.1(y-2)^2)=1
I know I have to use log rules for this but I'm stuck near the end
I got as far as finding that sqrt(y-2) = 10
waler
if so i dont see why there would be a square root
my bad
btw, the log is base 10 right?
hmm dont take the square root on both sides
i believe you got to here (y-2)^2 = 100 already?
yeah
alright, so dont take the square root, that only makes it more complicated, just expand the square
now you got a quadratic equation
yes
yep, only need to solve for it
technically you can take square root on both sides, but you also forgot to split them into two cases
With the equation (y-2)^2=100 the easiest way is to square root both sides
Just make sure you cover the positive and negative case
yeah, which is what i said in the above
thank you
thank you too
should I get y = 12 and y=-8 as my answer?
yes
Can someone help out on his question please
nice pencil
$$u^2r^2 = \frac{sr}{s+r}$$\
$$(s+r)u^2r^2 -sr = 0$$\
$$su^2r^2 + u^2r^3-sr = 0$$\
$$s(u^2r^2-r) + u^2r^3 = 0$$\
$$s(u^2r^2-r) = -u^2r^3$$\
$$s = -\frac{u^2r^3}{u^2r^2-r}$$\

Need help, its a trapezoid rule problem
cos(x)/sqrt(x), integral from a=0, b=2. How am I supposed to apply the trapezoid rule if f(0) is undefined?
I know I can split it into two integrals, but I still with have "x" on the denominator
I just checked mail and the prof said I was supposed to use trapezoid on the Latter Integral, I got it now, you split cos(x) to (1-x^2/2)+cos(x)-(1-x^2/2). First integral is solvable and second can be solved using trap rule
Linear Algebra problem that im struggling to understand
if anyone has taken classes higher than Calculus would be greatly appreciated
Consider differentiating the first line, and working with that
Got an impossible question anyone good at advanced calculus?
A circular disc of radius 2 units is centred at the origin in the x โ y plane. The areal
density of the disc is given by ฯ(y
2 + 1), where ฯ is a constant.
(a) Find the mass of the disc in terms of ฯ. Explain each step of your working. [10]
(b) How does the answer to part (a) change if the disc is centred at the point (0,1),
instead of at the origin? [5]
Yes. Then note you can rearrange the first equation for y, and use that to elim y completely
Differentiating basically brings a third equation in, and you can use the three equations to eliminate two unknowns
ok so when I substitute and distribute I get x'' = ax' + bcx + bdy
how do I get a characteristic equation from that
Should have no y after that last step
but I plugged in cx +dy into y'
Yeah! Then y = (x' - ax) / b
oh
oh and then the characteristic equation is the 0 = x'' + x' + x
and your eigenvalues are the solution to the characterstic equation
how would I got about B now
Solve for x(t). Sub that in for y = ...
nikoo its a triangular pyramid ontop of a triangular prism
find the area of the bottom triangle and multiply it by 10
then to find the volume of the pyramid you multiply the area of the triangle by 14 and divide by 3
then add the two volumes together
bet thank u for explaining
np
how do I find x(t) ?
$[ \int_{1}^{infinity} (1)/(1+x^6) ,dx ]$
How do i change this to a definite integral through change of variables? I tried t=1/x, but that doesn't give an equivalent value
@alpine sable
That's just a regular second order DE at this point. Solve as per usual
Hah it's been a while since I've solved one, I'll look it up

There we go, had to edit it
I'm guessing that ฮป1 and ฮป2 can be assumed to be real
yes
how would I go about doing so?
yeah I get that part
seems to get very complicatied after that
all u need to do is find f g f' and g'
then plug into the equation
and youll get your answer
ok thanks, imma try make sense of this xD
idk
<@&286206848099549185>
same thing lol
quotient again?
yep
derivative of 3e is 3e
and the derivative of (x+1)^2 is 2x+2
then use this again
match everything toghether
yep ๐
i would write down everything and keep track of it
it gets confusing if you try to do it in your head
i guess that makes sense
mhm

thx
didnt really need the ping but yw
Hi! So when plotting a graph, I've taken every little box on Y axis to be 0.25. Should I just write "every box represents 0.25 unit" or is there any proper way to indicate it?
I did. Marked them as 2.5. But do I need to indicate how every small box is 0.25 unit?
nah, as long as theyre evenly graduated
you can be nice and mark the midway point if it fits with your data
Got it, thank you so much!
hey do you use the divergence theorem here?
doesn't seem right because it'll give an answer of 0
or should i use this formula?
<@&286206848099549185> thanks!
this passes through the points wdym
you just need to find the equation, right?
What is that fraction which when multiplied by itself gives 227.798649?
<@&286206848099549185>
whyd you instantly ping helpers 
anyways how do you undo repeated multiplication
what?
like theyre asking $(\frac{p}{q})^2 = 227.798649$
jan Niku
haha that looks so shitty
oh
Chai T. Rex
$\qty(\frac pq)$
$\overset{!}{\qty(\frac pq)}$
jan Niku
bruh what r u doing??
youll probably end up needing a calculator, idk if theres a good way to do this by hand
like if i asked
what number times itself equals 9
we'd set up an equation
call that unknown number x
any easy way to do this?
right
Nope, it's square root.
ok
Chai T. Rex
So, use a calculator to take square root.
damn bruh
we have not studied this
can you explain an easier way
my teacher will say this is complicated method
You can skip some steps then.
such as?
Like, is it obvious to you that a number times itself is that number squared?
??
If it's not obvious, you can't skip the first step.
That's the problem, really. An easier way is for people who understand the math.
i think he is supposed to go like 15x15 is 225 so we check something just bigger than 15
like 15.1x15.1 = 228.01
so a lil less and so on
i think
can we do the long division method
To find a square root, yeah, something like that, but a calculator is easier.
he is 8th grader
Yes, something like that.
But again, a calculator is easier.
,calc 15.093^2
Result:
227.798649
So, you got 15.093, right?
OK, what is that in a fraction?
Yes, it wants a fraction as the answer.
Right, that gave you 15.093.
15093/100
No.
hehe
See how many digits are after the decimal place?
OK, reduce it if it can be.
Wait
If not, that's the answer.
OK, then that's the answer.
No problem.
Chai T. Rex
Factor the 6 into primes.
Find the square root of each of the following correct to three places of decimal.
(i) 5 (ii) 7 (iii) 23.1
Chai T. Rex
Ohh
@alpine sable Sorry, channel is now busy, but you can enter the number into the calculator, hit the square root, and then round that number to three digits past the decimal point.
What how? didnt understood
Remember how you took the square root a few minutes ago?
yeah
Type in the number and hit the square root key.
@alpine sable Close, but no.
When you take the fraction to the xth power, the top and bottom are taken to the xth power, right?
So, the 2 in the bottom is taken to the xth power, right?
Right, now reduce to lowest terms.
Find the square root of each of the following correct to three places of decimal.
(i) 5 (ii) 7 (iii) 23.1
<@&286206848099549185>
yeah, just put into calculator
How??
show your calculator?
does your calculator have a square root button?
then use sqrt(...)
calculator*
Chai T. Rex
@alpine sable Yes ^
oh cool
I need help for b n c ๐
@woeful pulsar u r not even explaining, do i square root 5?
you can do the same with the other numbers too
@woeful pulsar so just square rooting them and 2.2360679775 is the answer?
the final answer comes 2.2360679775
round to 3 decimal places
erm
here right?
yeah it says round to 3 decimal places?
bruh.
dividing by 100 doesn't round a number
like 1.234 is a number with 3 decimal places
no.
22360679.775 is not anywhere close to 2.2360679775
rounding to 3 decimal placing means looking at the 4th decimal point and seeing if its above or below 5
for exmaple 2.3456
the fourth decimal point which is 6 is higher than 5
which means we got to add 1 to the number before it
which is 5
2.346
thats trig right
first u gotta label the sides
side h is adjacent to the angle 60
and 4 is opposite to 60
have u heard about SohCahToa
soh is sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cah is cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
toa is tan = opposite/adjacent
which one do u think we should use here
well there are two angles we can work from
60 and 30
but i chose 60 for sum reason
we would use tan for using the angle 60
yeah teacher is a bit mad sendingu this if u dont know how to do it
anyways
wait give me a minute
tan60 = 5/h
it's trigonometry
yeah ik
not geom
trig is geom
yh obv
what diffeq are you looking at
also uh
@lethal otter we might wanna move to a free channel
im not gonna go in voice
np
Well, regardless of which side you need to solve for, you know that on a 30-60-90 triangle the bigger leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the smaller leg, right? And the hypotenuse is twice the length of the smaller leg
Can someone please help me solve number 9
introduce a variable
say, let x be the number of hours worked by samantha
then write down how long amy worked, in terms of x
then write down "together they worked 19 hours" as an equation
I donโt get how to do that?
okay so
refer to this again
Mhm
5 hours less
I still donโt get it sorry Iโm stupid
if you don't get it then say so instead of leaving me on read.
what does it mean to have "5 less than something"?
if i have $5 less than you and you have $30, how do you figure out how much money i have?
My tab was on open idk why it said read Iโm on mobile
Ann
IDK
think about it
you have 30 dollars, i have 5 dollars less than you, how much do i have?
$25
and how did you find this?
Because I know I can subtract $5 from what I have
that's right, you subtracted 5
great
now
samantha worked x hours
amy worked 5 hours less than samantha
so wouldn't you agree that amy must have worked x - 5 hours?
Yes
okay great
are you able to write down the equation for "together they worked 19 hours" now
Gn fishy
Uh
I get what I need to write I just donโt get like how to write the subtracting part
wym
does it or does it not make sense to you that samantha worked x hours (since that's how we defined x) and amy worked x - 5 hours (since that's what "5 hours less" means)?
I get that I just donโt get how to write that in an equation
if you have two people who worked for some amount of time, and you know how long each person worked, how do you find how much they worked combined?
for example, if jack worked 9 hours and jill worked 11 hours, how much did they work together?
20 hours
and how did you find that?
Because I added
hi
@honest umbra channel busy please move
lol
samantha worked x hours and amy worked x-5 hours. together, they must have worked x + x - 5 hours, or simplifying that, 2x - 5 hours.
@twin fulcrum does this make sense to you?
Yes
Mhm
can you write down the equation now?
Yea
I got 12 I think I did it wrong ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
2x-5=19 I guess itโs wrong tho
you mean you got x = 12?
Ya
what reason do you have to believe that this is wrong?
other than your self-perception of incompetence?
๐ฆ
@twin fulcrum if you show your work, i may point at a place where you went wrong, or tell you you did not go wrong anywhere
I got it
in any case, x = 12 is the correct solution to 2x - 5 = 19
you may have made an even number of mistakes that cancelled each other out, for all i know.
if you recall the beginning of our convo
i made the suggestion of letting x be the number of hours worked by samantha
this sort of detail should be written down clearly on a piece of paper at the beginning of your work, so that you may consult it after doing the algebra in order to translate your numbers back into the context of the problem.
BITCH I DID WRITE IT I UNDERSTAND NOW YOU ARE BEING SO RUDE
???
Like I get Iโm kinda stupid but like Iโm trying
was i rude just now?
Yes very
all i did was remind you, in a manner i thought was polite, of the thing you forgot.
did you write "x = number of hours worked by samantha"?
Yes
and you solved the equation and got x = 12?
and it did not click that 12 was samantha's work time?
since that's what we defined x as?
and instead, when i reminded you of it, you chose to yell at me and call me a bitch.
YOu legit were being so rude
tf
Like sorry Iโm not the smartest cookie on the fucking planet
she wasnโt rude ur just frustrated @twin fulcrum
i legit do not see how this message was rude
also i do not see what part of "x = hours worked by samantha, x = 12, therefore samantha worked 12 hours" could be confusing
Lol
it seems like the most straightforward conclusion possible to me
@honest umbra can you maybe move to another channel
Ok
#help-9 ig
lol
ban her pls
u had so much patience for such a simple question
ban her
can anyone explain the difference between the commutative property and the associative property
my teacher doesnt want to respond
commutative is a+b=b+a, associative is (a+b)+c = a+(b+c)
the commutative property says you can switch around the order when adding two things
the associative property says you can switch around which numbers you add first if you have three or more being added
how would you solve
(a+b)^c
wait no sorry
scratch tha my bad i meant (a/b + x/y)^c
There's nothing to solve
no but like simplify it
Its just an expression
like expand it
Oh you meant simplify
yeh sorry
Ok add the fractions a/b and x/y
okay so ay/by +xb/by
Yup
because perfect squares
Can you send a picture of the original problem
no its just i have a maths exam tomorrow and perfect squares r gonna be in it and idk how to do perfect squares with fractions
uhh i got it from an equation before it was (x+2/x)^2 i think
So this was something you made up yourseld?
yes
u can replace the pro numerals with any number sorry i just wanna understand the process
Ok so what do you need help with, squaring fractions, order of operations, something else?
bc.i know normal perfect square is just a^2+2ab+b^2 but i get confused with fractions
squaring fractions
idk how to do the middle term if the perfect square is fractions
If you have (a+b)^2 where a and b are fractions it works exactly the same way
But it would probably be easier to first add a+b
Then square
wait let me pull up the equation and we can go through it hang on
(x+x/2)^2 was it
so
Ok first add x+x/2
Because its easier to do the addition inside first and then square
x+x/2= 3x/2??
Yeah
ok so
Then find (3x/2)^2
Hiw did you get that
lol i just squared three, squared x, and squared 2
You need to multiply the fraction by itself
Ok so you messed up squaring the 3
Correct
so x^2+9x^2/4
HUH
wait
isnt there supposed to be three terms
oph so now the middle term is 3x/2 times two times x^2?
Ok we can do it the ither way and you'll see that you'll get the same answer
(x+x/2)^2=x^2+2(x)(x/2)+(x/2)^2
okay i see
wait can you simplify x^2+x^2 to 2x^2
Yes
I know that A(x) is
how do I find the allowable values
so x/4 = 0 when x = 0
x must be greater then 0
so how could I do 0 = (2a-(6-sqrt3)x)?
u have 2 x's
so when one x is 0 the other one is
probably also cant have a negative area.
$2a - (6 - \sqrt{3})x = 0$
Ann
is this your equation?
yes
this is linear in x, is it not?
I don't know
yeah
so 2a = (6-sqrt3)x
Ok
2a/(6 - sqrt(3))
and this is correct
unless there is some kind of requirement on the answer that this doesn't fulfill but which you are omitting
it's the wrong answer
apparently a/3 is the right answer
so this is an equation for area
trying to find the allowable values for x
A(x) > 0 when 0 < x < ?
I have no idea
since x/4 is always positive
you need to solve for 2a - (6-sqrt(3))x > 0 for the lower bound
trust treat this like a normal inequality
try to isolate x
this is a linear inequality so there wont be involving dividing by x and all that complicated stuff
well 2a/6-sqrt3 > x
(2a)/(6-sqrt3) > x
this doesn't seem to be the right answer
oh
ok, so you dont need to look at the domain of x for this
even tho that doesnt matter anyway
firstly, expand the brackets
yeah
and can you determine if the leading coefficient is positive or not?
I don't think so
but I don't really know how I can get the equation in a form I know how to work with
ok, before that, can you write out what you have after expanding?
yes
so now could you determine the leading coeffecient?
is it a/2?
leading coeffecient should be the coefficient that is attached to the highest power term
oh so (-(6-sqrt3))/4
yup and is it positive or negative?
negative
so that means our vertex will be maximum or minimum?
maximum
yes, and do you know the formula for the vertex of a parabola?
given the quadratic expression
I just usually find the x intercepts and find the half way point
hmmm that works too but usually it is quite lengthy
so we have a formula which is -b/2a
that is the x-coordinate of the vertex
so you just need to find that number, plug it back into your function
and you will get the maximum value
a isnt a varible
technically here, a is a constant
thats also the reason why the maximum area has "a" in it
I also need to do part b of the question anyways
oh alright, but anyway, lets finish this first
so b is part of what we did earlier, well come back to that
so what next?
plug this into your original equation to find the maximum value
tho you might wanna simplify that first
oh and that isnt right
should be (-6 + sqrt(3))
not -sqrt(3)
you forgot to distribute the - into sqrt(3)
no i meant this
yeah
(-6+sqrt3)/2
yep
so now since 1/2 is in the denominator
basically thats like 1/(1/2)
which is?
2?
yes
so we can bring that 2 in the denominator to the numerator
so now it becomes (-a/2 * 2)/(sqrt(3) - 6)
alright
(-a)/(-6+sqrt3)
yep, but lets just multiply with -1 in the numerator and denominator
so we have a/(6-sqrt(3) )
which looks a bit like what we have in the beginning
so try put substitute that in as x?
yes
I can't do it
waler
$\frac{2a\frac{a}{6-\sqrt(3))} - (6-\sqrt{3})\left(\frac{a}{6-\sqrt(3))}\right)^2}{4}$
here try this
ok that's not what I was trying
I have no idea how to do this
$2a\frac{a}{6-\sqrt{3}}$ lets try this first
waler
well that's 2a^2)/(6-sqrt3)
yep
waler
how about this
should you try to square it first?
no dont, you can use the fact that (a/b)^2 = a^2/b^2
or can you just cancel the (6-sqrt3) out?
ah yeah
so to sum it all up
waler
yep got that
so now its just easy subtracting fractions
and luckily we already got the common denominator
(4a^2)/(6-sqrt) right?
you get a^2)/(6-sqrt3)
yes
waler
yeah
and dividing by 4 is basically multiplying by 1/4
so its just the numerator multiplied by 1/4
waler
yup so that c solved
