Have you seen fraction decomposition ?
Yeah
Decompose 1/((2k+1)*(2k+3))
Okk
then you'll notice something
Which is really nice if this is the first time you see it
I got 1/2(2k+1)- 1/2(2k+3)?
Yeah that is right
Yeah okk
Now explicit the first terms
1/4k+2 and 1/4k+6?
No I mean replace k by 0, 1 etc
GP i see
by 0 you get 1/2 * (1 - 1/3) by 1 1/2 * (1/3 - 1/5) by 2 1/2 (1/5 - 1/7) etc
If you sum all these terms what happens ?
Cancellation right?
Yeah it is
Thanks for the help!
@kindred lion are you sure the answer is not 40 / 21 instead ?
No the answer key shows 440/21
It's not in the options
Yeah but to be sure it is 2 times 2 /3 etc
Hm yes
Wolfram gives this too
$test$
Why ?
Number of terms are 10 so basically should be 22 rather sorry
Is there an elegant way of making an area drawer given some equation that can give true/false if you pass it a position?
While one can just go through every single point out there, i'd assume theres a better way
My assumption was first randomly select a point that is "in" the shape that the function would create, and then go in one direction until you hit a border, at which point go along the border until you come back where you started, but this happens to ignore "islands of false" inside the shape
(This is all talking about a solution by code btw)
look up monte carlo simulation, specifically monte carlo definite integrals
its basically just passing in all the points, but theres some clever approaches
So theres no way of avoiding passing all points
like I said, theres tricks
you can do a uniform grid of point checking over the entire area, then guess based on that for example
or spread out around each one in the area to get more accuracy
its how they calculate definite integrals sometimes, look up the techniques, its plenty fast
Also the wiki seems to be talking about getting an area from it
I simply want to check integer positions
Its not for getting the shapes area, its about getting a polygon (set of points describing said shape)
Well i suppose i could use said algorithm of random points and look for a spot inside the known shape where the function is dangerously close to being false, and investigate a small area around that point
Anyway, thanks
For derivatives use the chain rule
It's chain rule...

look at your notes or google it if you dont know it
Yeah it’s fairly basic
If you meant integral instead, it looks like a really difficult one
f(g(x)) = f(g(x))' * g(x)'
It’s more like f(g(x))’ = f’(g(x)) * g’(x)
maybe I'm wrong but I dont recall my teacher teaching that one
Yeah, i just checked that one on wolfram alpha and it looks intense
Anyway, for your question the differential is equal to 1/(sec x) * tan x sec x
Oops i missed the /2
Yes my thing above simplifies to tan x
oh
some dont have elementary primitives, yes
2/secx X (secxtanx - 0)/4 now
$\dv{x}\ln(\frac{\sec(x)}{2})=\dv{x}\ln(\sec(x))$
Mosh
the 1/2 is irrelevant
lemme see
Right you do the log thing mb
I definetly made a mistake here
but you take the derivative of log right
which is 1/x
in this case 1/(secx/2)
If you didn’t get it, ln (x/2) = ln x - ln 2
$\dv{x}\ln(\sec(x))=\tan(x)\sec(x)\frac{1}{\sec(x)}$
Mosh
but it's a part of the log function
But you can rewrite it to remove it
$\ln(\frac{x}{2})=\ln(x)-\ln(2)$ so differentiating will get rid of the constant term
Mosh
Sec x/2 tho
It’s (sec x) / 2
unless you fucked up writing it out originally...
Yea lmao
,w derivative Log ( (Secx)/2)

yeah..
That’s how you learn
Please, can anyone help with this?
It’s the least common multiple
What else am I supposed to add?
ASA?
For a I think you also have you say they have AD in common
Hm, okay
b I don't Know ,did'nt even Know sides could be congruent
Just try another, easier
my question wasn’t completely answered so i’m not sure if someone else can
so i believe yes it is
@alpine sable Maybe you can mention that the kite is symmetric
Or that AD and BC are perpendicular
because the kite is symetrical
he can use the angle bisector
thing
and he gets two angles from those
and they share a side
so he gets his last from there
so its SAA right?
Is it SAA or ASA
How do I solve for x
27x + 2 = 180-70
assuming the lines are parallel
by transition point do you mean the points where it switches from decreasing to increasing and viceversa?
I assume it means finding the vertex of maximum / minimum point(s), so yeah
Yeah you're right, I don't know what else it could mean
your's sounds more right because I realized it's a cubic
I guess how you find them depends on how you've been taught to
Transition points are points where the basic shape changes due to a sign change in either 𝑓′ (local minimum or maximum) or 𝑓″ (point of inflection).
roots of the original function?
of the derivatives
1st and 2nd?
yes
ok thanks
Does anyone know the rules for reflection like for reflecting points over a line?
It's astonishing how difficult it is to find a good explanation how to reflect a point over a line that does not use higher math methods. So here is my explanation: You have a point (P = (x,y)) and a line (g(x) = m \cdot x + t) and you want …
If you don't get that you can ask again
No that's the advanced version of what I am learning
I have started with the basics
I just need to know the rules
There are like 4 or 5 of them
Here's an example of one of the assigments I have to do
oh I guess you're doing it graphically
I need to know the rules
Ye
to reflect a point over a line, draw another line from the point perpendicular to the first line
then extend it past the line by the same distance it took to get from the point to the line
I'll draw you an image
I think it is easier knowing the rules
haha these esoteric rules of yours intrigue me
But this is the best I could come up with without an appeal to formulae
Ok thanks
It's like if you are doing across y axis (x,y) turns to (-x,y)
It's some really basic rules to follow in order to make solving these kinds of problems easier
I was introduced to them in class
I should have noted them down somewhere
btw Pazerx it is correct
In that case you also have that reflecting across the x axis turns (x,y) to (x,-y)
Thank you for verifying.
Yeah, see what are the rule?
That is one of the rukes
And across the diagonal (-x,-y)
But I’m just deriving these from what you’re telling me
Yes I believe those are correct
You should ask about the rules in class next time, i imagine they’ll be more helpful
but before I go and loose points, lemme confirm with my teacher tommrowo and then submit the assigment
Alright?
Yea go for it
Yes they will be
Thanks for your help doe
Anytime
$x^3 + 4x > 5x^2$
BAAPA|INDIAN ELITES
so we got that it has to be greater than 4 but idk the other answers
We first factored out x
then factored and got
x(x-4)(x-1)>0
and we know x>4
but idk what to do next
<@&286206848099549185>
don't ping helpers before 15 minutes
Either all terms need to be positive or two terms negative and one positive for product to be positive
All positive is the x>4 part
Thank 😄 , ill let u know what i get
But I already knew that and now I am stuck again

Find when two of them are negative and 1 positive
How would you find them?
For x to be negative x<0, for (x-4) to be negative x<4 for (x-1) to be negative x<1
So the solution is?
uh
If x>=4 none are negative so that won’t work. If x>=1 only one is negative so that wont work either
If x<1 then two are negative wuhuuu
When does it stop working?
What?
so 0<x<4
So x=3 doesn’t work
yeah
but 0<x<1 isnt
0<x<1 is a solution?
oh lol
Can someone help i dont remember these like the explanations
"If the first differences are the same, the relationship is"
and
"If the first differences are not the same, the relationship is"
arithmetic, non-arithmetic (although the only one of this kind you likely know is geometric, so that might be the answer)
Could someone tell me how I can make a plot similar to this one? It should basically be a line but at equal intervals it flattens out for a set width and then continues on its old path
is this right?
yup
I don't know tbh, only idea I have is to make a big piece wise function lol
but that seems unintuitive
like @alpine sable said, this is correct. This is because the thing you marked is saying run/rise which isn't the slope
hopefully someone can save the day
I'm trying to make an sdf for a dashed line
sdf?
signed distance field
just add up all the sides you got to get the perimeter
and do you know the formula for right triangle area?
hint: like taking half the area of a rectangle/square
help?
dependent variable changes because of a change in the independent variable
in this situation what change in smth will affect the other
You can think about it @alpine sable in terms of cause and effect. The independent variable is the cause, the dependent variable is the effect
yea I saw you deleted it lol
can we go into dm?
uhh I like here better unless it's an emergency 
you'd need the slope to graph
does rhombus have slopes?
are you graphing a rhombus?
this is the question
Sammy and Pippa's teacher gives them a homework question to solve. She tells them to plot the points A(5, -1), B(9, 4), C(15, 1) and D(11, -4) on a grid and decide whether the shape is a square or a rhombus. Sammy and Pippa do their slope calculations and Sammy insists the shape is a square whereas Pippa insists the shape is a rhombus. Who is right? Show your calculations in your reasoning!
if it was a square then two pair of points would be in the same y coordinate and the other two pairs would have the same x-coordinate
you get what I mean?
yes
How
Can’t a shape be a square and be at an angle such that all values are different
So no
For it to be a square, the distance between all two points must be the same
Maybe you could use that fact
In a rhombus you have one pair which has a shorter length
I dont know why you’d calculate the slope of lines connecting two points
um
I guess by slope calculations they also mean finding the distance between two points? No idea lol
so what do i have to do?
use the formula for finding the distance between two points
rhombii are equilateral
And?
what is it?
that means that it can also have equal distance between all points
oh were you talking about the diagonal?
so finding the distance between points wont help
It still can
you need to show that atleast one of the angles is not 90 degrees
or I don't think so
to determine if the angles at which they meet are perpendicular
I'll leave you to it then 
My definition of rhombus was off I forget square is also one
Again, not my main language I dont learn math in english
My bad
Yeah uh idk red chicken lol
um is no one able to help me?
Uhhhhhhh
guess not
how would i graph this?
0
if two lines are perpendicular
then the slope of one
is the negative recipricol of the other
$m = -\frac{1}{m}$
?
Venti
whats that formula for?
I think checking for distance is still the best option
The question clearly differentiates between a square and a rhombus
So the diagonal lines must be different lengths if its a rhombus
no
How so
a rhombus can have all its sides equal
.
But the question differentiates between a square and a rhombus
If it can be a square then dont answer the question at all
if you measure at least 1 angle to be not 90 degrees, then it is a rhombus
if you measure all angles to be 90 degrees, then it is both a rhombus and a square
Square Rhombus
The diagonal lengths of a square are of the same measure. The diagonal lengths of a rhombus are of different measure.
All the interior angles of square measures 90 degrees (i.e., right angle) In a rhombus, the opposite angles are of the same measure.
Read the question again
Sammy says square the other says rhombus
Then we will take square as a shape where all points are equal length apart
Whereas rhombus will have diagonals at different lengths
Yes thank you red
anyone know of examples/ practical uses of lissajous curves?
$\frac{1}{2}bh$
Venti
where b = base and h = height
Yeah yeah that
<@&286206848099549185> I'm still stuck on this, I'm trying to create a signed distance field for a dashed line
how would i solve a problome like this
Use y = mx + b
Where m is the slope
Since there is no x here, m is 0
Can anyone help me with this?
The two functions have to be definite
For the first which values of x could make a problem
?
What is the domain of square root of x+1 ?
x is greater than or equal to -1
x < -1
yeah
and since you want the domain of f - g you need to consider those two inequalities
Both f and g must be define
this is poorly denoted as a fyi
What is it ?
XER | -1 is less than or equal to x is less than 1
actually if the diagonal lengths are always different then you can just find the distance between two opposite points
for the rhombus I mean
That is strange cause g(0) is not define
is this channel being used?
? help please
what are the slope of the 2 lines?
what heppens when 2 lines have the same slope they are ____
ok, this makes me want to die. It wasn't in the corrected textbook answers, and an answer site gave the same results as the textbook. I spent 30 mins at least on this bs
I believe you tho
@gaunt roost whats the question
nonvertical parallel lines?
one word
hint you said it in this
negative slope
and its not nonverticle
oh
there isnt anything special about a nonverticle line
there it is @glacial hedge
that's what I thought
no
yes
paealell lines
log 0 ?
how would i do this one
im not good at this stuff its above my grade and i only got a day to learn it soo its still pretty hard for me
ok sorry that was sorta mean
hint
a line with -1/slope of some line is perpendiciular to said line with that slope
Ok @alpine sable what are the slopes of the equations
Fat hint lmao
xD
Anyway you're not going to learn it by just asking for answers to everything
You gotta try to do each one for a while
yes i would suggest reading the textbook or watchign somne videos online
and try drawing both lines
Hey, I'm trying to prove by induction that for any positive integer n, 3 divides n^3 - 4n + 6 evenly, am I on the right track here?
Would anyone mind helping me with the next step please?
There's one issue here
You can't assume that the k+1 expression is equal to 3q
That's what you're proving
You need to derive it from the induction hypothesis
However, the proof itself is done
You simplified the k+1 expression down to the k expression and some terms multiplied by three
Which is trivially divisible by 3 using IH
Question: I think the answer is false because the transformation is 2 * I and the det of that is 4 but not -4 but I am still confused
nvm im stupid
[0 2]
[2 0]
nvm
xD
stoopid
so then inside my then statement, what should I be setting it equal to instead?
Nothing
How come the answer is possible youtube sources says you cant make a sum of unequal root values?
Unless you've been taught some specific form these arguments need
Sorry channel in use
not that I remember, I think that should be ok
So should i ask in a diff
Yea just try another
so I get to the last equation, and now the left side contains the k expression plus some other expressions
but how do you know that that k expression + some other expression is still divisible by 3?
ohh true
So yeah your proof is fine, it's just the method that's a bit confused
so then I would end up with k^3 - 4k + 6 + 3(k^2 + k) = 3m(3q + 3)?
the right side is wrong isn't it
Forget about the q haha its not a good way of doing induction
You end up with 3m + 3k^2 + 3k
Where k and m are natural numbers
This is equal to 3(m + k^2 + k) which is divisible by 3 for any value of m and k
ohh it seemed a little weird to me that I could just throw out the right side but it makes sense in the end
alright man I got it, thank you so much!
Glad to help
For 4 you can calculate ab using the area formula for triangles and the length of AE
Then I think you have a formula for the area of a trapezoid
?
(A+B)/2 times height
Yea exactly
Height is given by AE
Which you have to figure out using the area of the triangle
For which the formula is base * height / 2
For this would I use the centroid theorem?
when im calculating an intersection of two graphs, what does it mean when it asks me for first and second curve? one of the graphs is y = x and the other is a parabola
it seems that no matter where i place the "curves" I still get the same answer for my placement of "guess?"
<@&286206848099549185> Apologies for the ping.
your supposed to
plug in $\sqrt {x}$ for z
getting
Elonmosqito96
$\frac {x} {x^2+9}$
Elonmosqito96
so that would be the correct answer?
yes....
Says its wrong?
?
OH
x/(x^2+9)
Damn it's wrong 😔
??
It's somehow squaroot of x/2(x^2+9)
Should I debate with my teacher @glacial hedge
wait wut
Ikr?
yeah i think i messed up somehwere
when u do that u need to multiply by the derivative of root x
u prob missed that part
Bruh
can I get help
I'm going to tell me teacher
Oh my bad i forgot that it was a composite funciton since its not integral of 1 to x
so can I get help
im relearning algebra
and I really need help with this question
A
Nah his teacher was the square root thingy
@rough compass how did you get A
that was the correct answer
slope of 0 is horizontal line
Oh thought you were saying it was wrong for a min
nah its correct
thanks
Yeah im aware
Did I do this correctly and if not can someone tell me how
Thank you @upper pebble
I'm not sure how to figure out the numbers though
Those were complete guesses.
i don't completely understand it either but i think you can use trigonometry
looking at triangle AIC and trying to determine the length of IC, we can recognize that AI is 10 feet and AC is 14 feet, since I is the midpoint of AH and C is the midpoint of AE. maybe that helps
can't use Pythagorean theorem since it's not a right triangle so idk what to do there
but i encourage you to figure out how to do it instead of guessing
is this channel open
i think Pazerx's question kind of still needs an answer
ok
Im so confused on what to do
To add animation during their soccer season, the team leaders decide to use a mascot for each of the 20 maths. They wonder whether they should buy or rent the costume. Rental rates are $ 10.50 for each game

quick question, is the x and y intercept in a quadratic equation always the same?
im a high school freshmen btw
you can have
y = (x-1)^2 for example
y intercept is x=1
*x intercept
y intercept is 1
versus y=x^2
with x and y intercept of 0
alright thank you
How is (x-2)^2 =y-12 not the answer? It said I was wrong

hi
You are given a polynomial function and two of the known roots. You must determine the values of m and n and then use polynomial division to determine the other x-intercepts and then write the function in factored form. Use polynomial division to determine the other x-intercepts. Show your work!
so for this question
I got n=-42 and m=-11
and then using these value we need to find x intercept using long divison
and then x intercepts i got are x=2, - 1, 3/2
am i correct
theres a few ways you can check your own work... first you can stick 7 and -4 in for x and see that your values for m and n make it so the expression is equal to zero. then i guess you can do the same for the other roots you found or you can expand the factored form to see if it matches with your expanded form
Anyone wanna help me with mine😢
youre supposed to complete the square or something?
everything looks right in your solution except that the last line is not consistent with the 2nd to last
i think i did it right
i think so too
For (i) you see how the long side of A is 18 m and the short one is 3m?
@robust cradle
So then do you know the formula for area of a rectangle?
Nah rectangle
Length times width
Exactly.
How do I find the side
Using the picture
Like this
Nah 18x4 would give you the area for the bottom and top faces. Do you see?
Channel taken
Like I said, you have an 18m side and 4m side for the rectangle which is face A
You see how Ixm seeing that in the pic right?
Yah that's what I was going for lol.
do you know what the formula for the area of a semicircle is
@clever folio
anyone able to do this with steps?
My bad
For the two points plug them in for the x and y's of your equation to get two equations in a,b,c. I believe c is the asymptote
So that gives two eqns in two unknowns to solve.
would you be able to show how? cause im still confused
For ex c=-5 so y=ab^x -5
Then we have a pt (0,-8) so -8=a(b^0)-5 so one of the equations is just -8=a(1)-5 which you can solve for a.
ohh, thank you, i understand a bit now,
Is this occupied?
wym occupied?
Nope

Someone can help me in a problem of mats?
Its to examen please
I dont know how resolve it
√121
Well, it is not for exam but it is for an assignment for which they give points for the exam
np
it is not really a simple formula for finding square roots
you just need to find a number that when multiplied by itself gives the number inside
I think there is tho
11*11=121
There are a few algorithms
Saw one by some Indian guy as always
i didn't know
You could reasonably use newton's method
thx
true
Tho would you want to ahaha
This is like nuking a house to kill a fly
yeah
i dont speak english, i speak spanish srry if i write wrongly a word
yeah its fine
yeah
Its ilegal use mayus?
in general you just memorize what numbers are perfect squares
What
mayus?
I do not know what that is
I'm really sorry, but i'm not really understanding
its not your fault
i google transalated and Mayusculas = Capital letters
mmh
I do not know how to explain it to you
Mayus = ARBOLITO ARBOLITO ARBOLITO
No mayus = arbolito arbolito arbolito
When you write in big print
yes
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA = mayus
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa = no mayus
:(.
I dont think its a problem
idk why but they can mute me in the server
When you divide a negative number, is the result positive or negative?
depends
If the number you are dividing is positive then dividing by negative gives negative
@true nebula If it's illegal some servers, why are you saying it lol?
why? doesn't seem like a bad word
By mayus he means to use all caps
oh gotcha
5h
Because Mayus means capital in spanish ye
ah gotcha
They prolly mute you cuz it looks like you're yelling at them
^^ bump
yes
prolly...
or they hate trees
...
Logician i was wondering if you could help me out with a combinatorics question
yes
ehm
I've tried case bashing, but it does not seem to work
Thats completely fine
why me lol? Let me see your question
huh?
eh
Bob is dog?
is this even math anymore?
eh
Philosophy now
yes
@alpine sable What was your question?
okay, what have you tried so far
I've tried to case bash
But thats been pretty fruitless
I've also tried to draw a tree diagram but that hasnt worked either
yeah I'm not surprised the tree diagram hasn't worked because there's some serious dependency here
I'd count the complement and subtract from the total
what
but when I try grouping shirts together, i cant stop double counting
I do not understand much of your method to solve
yeah it comes up in combinatorics from time to time (quite often actually) For instance let's say I asked you to find the number of 5-digit codes that have start with 5 or end with 2.
three actually
i dont understand what you mean by PIE
but i can do the question
like its just 10^4 or 10^3 for your cases (right?)
if all you do is take 2*10^4 as the answer, you'll overcount because you'll have counted the codes that look like 5....2 exactly twice, but we only want to count those exactly once so you'd need to subtract off the number of codes that look like 5...2
codes starting with 5 would be 10^4. Same with codes ending with 2.
exactly taking their union
ok
if the sets are disjoint (i.e., if the 'or' is exclusive) all you need to do is add. However, if the intersection of the sets is nonempty, then you need to do some subtracting
yes
yo
so the answer to my question should be $2\cdot10^4-10^3$
logician_pdx
This channel is busy
sure
Ok that sounds fair to me
Tho... I'm kinda unsure how to apply it to this instance
well so that was just to give you an idea about an instance when you need to use PIE
ok
Now looking at your question....
I can put it here again
All good, I got it open in a new tab
ok
So you've probably tried counting this directly. I bet that was pretty hard if not impossible
yep
so let's count the total, then the complement.
Sure
What would the total be?
I found the total to be 8! / (2!)^4
yes
okay, now let's count the number of ways in which some two shirts are next to each other.
Some two shirts are next to each other
there's going to be some casework
Ok. Are we going to try and group two idnetical shirts together ?
yes
that would be (7!)/(2!)^3 for each shirt right
logician_pdx
each letter represents a type of shirt
Ok
explain
yep I'm already using that notation lol
Well i was thinking
if we group AA together
okay
and do we repeat that for B,C , D (so we multiply by 4) ?
yes
OK
