a 2,-3 b 6,7 C - 8,5 find all sides <@&286206848099549185>
Proofs*
theta_1 is the one that needs to be found, A and theta_1 should be linked but I'm struggling with how
Corrected diagram
how to solve this
over a Sphere with radius R
the easiest way
how to calculate the surface area of a circle only knowing the length of 2 cords and in between the 2 cords and that the 2 cords are parallel
don't know if they are opposite of the centre or not, one cord is 8cm, other is 12cm and the distance between them is 1
Must easier, 90-Theta 1 = phi = 42
Then use the refraction equation for theta 2
.
depends on which of the center the chords are, if on the same side area will be larger
I don't think that's correct....
I guess they are on the same side since they differ 4 cms in length but only 1 cm between them
Ah yes 🙂 brain fart
I meant 90-theta 1 + phi = 90
Phi = theta 1
In a circle [AB] and [CD] are two parallel chords with lengths 8 and 12. The distance between AB and CD is 1. What is the area of that circle? @crisp grove this is all I got
but I don't really know the properties of chords in a circle
so idk how to solve this
I tried with triangles but didn't work out
How is phi and theta 1 equal? By what geometric reasoning? 🤔
Yup the normal is grey, I'm terrible at labeling
I did find something earlier tho
Logically there is enough there for a solution, but finding it.....
do you have the answer? Let me check if I got the correct answer
If you continue the initial orange line down, you can find another phi by alternate angles, I mingled this into something . Also if you extend the gray normal to intersect with the other one , I also found something
But I don’t have any paper around to work on this rn 😦
yup got it
appearantly it was possible with triangles
thank you!
360 = 180 - phi - theta 2 + theta 1. This and the other refraction equation is enough?
is this open for questions?
Well that gives this....
Eldritch nightmare unlocked
Hi guys im new here. Soo
Is this channel free for a quick question?
Soo the equation above gave you a heart attack? 😂
Can someone please help me why (sin 2^24 * 56 degrees)/(2^24 * sin 56 degrees) = 1/2^24
No as in.. i have some qns to ask
This is my solution. I just wanna double confirm if its correct or not.🙂
Its on laplace
how can I solve for x in sin(x) * cos(x) - sin(x) + cos(x) - 1 = 0
No idea. Whose the expert here haha
factor then use zero-product property
ty i see it now, akjdbkahdbasd
(sin(x) + 1)(cos(x) - 1) = 0
SS will be appreciated
looks ok to me
what do I do to solve (cosx)^3 + (sinx)^3 = 0
would I factor, use an identity, or etc...
tan³(x)=-1
not sure where that came from, could you show me what u did
I don't think you can cancel cos^3(x) in cos^3(x) + sin^3(x)
Bro heres my friend solution. Its abit different. So i wanna double check here. See whose correct
they are seperate terms
@crude hazel non zero
show me your work on a notepad or paper, I think you are doing something wrong
@crisp grove u can see my friend ans above. Thanks man!
oh you ignored the wind gust term entirely
your friend is correct here
is this correct?
cos³(x) is nonzero because x=2nπ+π/2 doesn't solve the equation to it's right to cancel both side
So mine was wrong? The one in green is correct?
This msg is for me right🤣
yes but sin^3(x) + cos^3(x) / cos^3(x) != sin^3(x)
you can't cancel cos^3(x) so where did you get tan^3(x)
yes
what are you saying? 👀
I guess im wrong then
I'm just wondering how dividing both terms by cos^3(x) gives you tan^3(x)
Hello
which identity is that, I don't think I learned this yet aaaaa
how do I find the equivalent fraction?
Like for the first one 2/4 do I times it by 2
4/8?
that's one way to do it, but not the only way
you say "the" equivalent fraction as if each fraction has one and only one of those...
Oh
also, going from $\frac{2}{4}$ to $\frac{2 \times 2}{4 \times 2}$ is not ``timesing it by 2''; if anything, you should specify that you're multiplying \textbf{the top and the bottom} by 2, so as not to make people think you're talking about $\frac{2}{4} \times 2$
Ann
U multiply it by an even number @unique tapir
don't post misleading info, justak_.
So I can’t
it doesn't have to be even.
.
i pointed out the mistake you made with your word choice.
and i even told you "that's one way to do it", which means that what you did is correct. multiplying the top and bottom by 2 does give you a fraction equivalent to what you started with.
it's not the only way to generate equaivalent fractions though.
oh so it works with like 4
if anything, you can multiply the top and bottom by any number, so long as you multiply by the same number on both.
oh
for example, you could go from $\frac{2}{4}$ to $\frac{2 \times 42069}{4 \times 42069}$
I can use any number
Ann
what trig identity is sin(x) + cos(x) = tan(x) + 1
it's not a trig identity
it seems to be true though, so what is it then
it is definitely not true lmao
just take x = pi/4
you have sqrt(2) on the left and 2 on the right
Did you misread something?
did you want to treat it as an equation and solve it for x?
Ig it should be sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = sec^2(x) - tan^2(x)
pretty enormous misread then innit
@crude hazel do you have a screenshot or something
Would you mind helping me with a problem in channel 3?
i have looked at it and don't feel like involving myself in it
i don't have enough time or energy for riemann sum fuckery
Yea fair enough
when I used symbolab to solve x in sin(x) + cos(x) = 0, it said to rewrite sin(x) + cos(x) as tan(x) + 1
strange
did it say rewrite or did it say divide both sides by cos(x)?
because it's very likely the intended move way to divide both sides by cos(x), as that takes you from sin(x)+cos(x)=0 to tan(x)+1**=0**
been telling him the same thing lol
And the denominator does not matter (unless it is 0) since the whole fraction is 0
ok I see it now ty
does PQ || ST mean line PQ is parallel to ST?
yes
Similar triangles
how do i prove that
PRQ and SRT are vertical angles
PR/TR=QS/SR shows that the two pairs of corresponding sides are similar
Yes
Yes
ok
after i prove that
then
whats the reason why they are parallel
if they are equal
?
Lemme think :v
Hmm
What I do is
I draw a new line that I assume is parralel to PQ and goes through R
Then compare both lines using this new line that I just made
By looking at the angles
I kinda forgot what’s the relation of the angles called but I’m sure that the fact <PQS = <TSQ proves this a triangle
uhh
ah yes
When alternate interior angkes are equal,then both lines are parallel
Sorry for not responsive
no ur fine
$cos(x)sin(y)=\left( sin(x+y)-sin(x-y)\right) /2$
Ryuzaki
what
look up product to sum identities
okay
L'hospital rule?
What a monstrosity of a limit lol
Like, in what context would you ever care about $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n^{1000000000}}{2^n}$?
Lorago
I think its a self made question
Yeah, looks like it
what does this expression mean?
all values of N are greater or equal to 0?
so all values of N are positive?
or does it mean that the series of numbers is increasing
or none of those xd
It's a quantifier
So what it's saying is "for all n greater than or equal to n_0"
So usually you use it to say that something is true for all n that are greater than or equal to some n_0 (in this specific case)
If I were to write something like
$$\forall n \geq 0 : \sqrt{n} \geq 0$$
what I would mean, in words, would be:
"For all $n$ that are greater than or equal to $0$, it is true that the square root of $n$ is greater than or equal to $0$."
Lorago
wait what do i assume n nought to be if it isnt specified
If it isn't specified, then you simply don't know what it is
Just that you can call it n_0
No problem, if you're still confused, feel free to ask more
Lmao I came up with a really stupid solution to this
It boils down to using L'Hôpital's rule 1000000000 times
It's actually a quite simple solution, but there are other solutions that are much better lol
If you're still interested, I can share it, but you haven't responded to anything so I'm guessing you just left it at that
looking at the denominator
|p-q|
distance of two points in R^3
represented in spherical coordinates is what i want
but this is assuming same polar angle from both points p and q?
I'm not getting this one, pls can anyone help me
<@&286206848099549185>
i have an idea if you could ping me i'd present you my answer and wait for an approval lol
ping me then
How do I determine where this cosine function = 0? - https://imgur.com/a/jlwrpei. I'm a bit confused looking at this on what the easiest way to determine where 2cos(2x) = 0. First I would divide both sides by 2 but then what number do I plug in as the x? I know that a standard cosine function is equal to 0 with either pi/2 or -pi/2. I'm not sure if there's something I can do with that information.
if you know that $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=0$, then you want $2x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ so $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$. Same for the negative case
cgodfrey
np!
that's chi, not x
ye
chi-squared variable with three degrees of freedom
but what happened to 1/2?
what 1/2?
the one with the normal rvs
you gave no info about the distribution of X_1, X_2 and X_3. are they N(0,4)?
lmao :/
pls ping if anyone knows ❤️
normal double integral
right but im a bit confused :/
$\int_0^1 \int_0^1 f(x,y) dx dy$
Ryuzaki
You're calculating the probability
and not like 2 to swrt 3
sub f(x,y)=⅓xy
ah ok i got 1/12
tysm
i kept putting sqwrt 3
and 2
for the inner one
so i kept getting it wrong
👍
cylindrical coordinate
Here's a short source on calculating surface area
In this section we will show how a double integral can be used to determine the surface area of the portion of a surface that is over a region in two dimensional space.
note the notation $f_{x} = \frac{\partial{f}}{\partial{x}}$

hey guys, I don't understand how (s+3) was cancelled
(s+3-3)/(s+3)² = (s+3)/(s+3)² - 3/(s+3)²
I meant, why is it allowed to put +3 -3 to cancel (s+3)
because it was originally s/(s+3)^2
Does anybody know how this is true?
I feel like it's simple but I really can't think today.
ohhhhh okay makes sense, thanks!
what is g by the way ?
Underived version here.
I guess if I do 3x^2 + 2x = -1. Divide by the constants. There's no x^2 + x that'll equal the result?
oh, then it's simple, since g'(x) has no real solution, nothing can cancel it
you are overthinking it
I don't get what you mean exactly.
Ok, I'll ask you, you know what is the point of finding the solution of an equation like this : ax²+bx+c=0 ? right ?
to solve for x such as the values of x cancel out ax² + bx + c
and since 3x² +2x + 1 = 0 has no real solution, that means nothing can cancel out 3x²+2x+1
that's why g' is never equal to 0
you can graph it, you will see
i think i get it...
it's really simple, you are just overthinking it
ok take your time
👋
Wassup, what is a mathematical operation to gradually turn a square wave into a sine wave?
Hopefully that makes sense to someone
Pretty much something like this, by a configurable amount
Fourier stuff
you'll have to explain in english as I have no idea what that means
exactly
Fourier series
You have Sum x=1 to inf sinx
nvm 5hat won't turn to a square
dunno what the capital pi represents
product, however I think that's just regular pi fucked up
lol
$f(n)=\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\sin((2i-1)x)}{2i-1}$ will give a function of x
as n goes to infinity you get a more and more square wave
Mosh
I'm not a maths expert so I don't really know what any of this means. Perhaps I didn't mean "operation", and I was using the sine wave as an example. Basically I need to do what I said for each value for x.
you didnt say anything to an individual x
you just asked how to make a wave square
which was answered
yeah so I said maybe "operation" is the wrong word. I'm not a maths wizard like everyone here so I don't know the correct terminology.
what have you tried?
dont know how to solve
well it tells you how to
chegg 
i dont have chegg
it's from chegg
yeah and you shouldnt use chegg to begin with
abe
apart from x=0
sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x), and now you have a common factor.
because i want to solve this inequality
$\frac{\sin{2x}}{2}> \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\sin^2{x}$
abe
because the maximum of sin function is 1
so i wanna find where both of them are one
Why? You would want to find where the two sides are equal, to find boundary points.
So you would want to solve with those coefficients, which isn't harder (and makes the solution nicer)
yes
Could you show your working out? I'll try and see if I can pick up on any mistakes
i think its the integral i set up thats wrong
im not entirely sure how to set it up but the first one was from -9 to 9
then -sqrt(9-x^2 ) to positive sqrt(9-x^2)
and then
integrate over the f(x,y)
do u know what the actual answer is supposed to be? i havent done this in a while and i dont want to teach u the wrong thin
but basically this is that u want to find the surface area of
$x^2+y^2=z^2$
_Youssef_
i dont ;/
the perimiter of a circle is 2 pi r
that is the surface area of the function you want at one instance of the z value
does that make sense?
ok, so pretty much its integrate the perimeter equation from z=0 to 9
and you know that the radius of a circle in this case is z, right?
yeah
Take a quick look through your book/internet, there is a "surface area by integration" formula
are u still confused on how to proceed?
yh im not that good at setting up the integrals :/
integrate 2 * pi * z from 0 to 9
integration is pretty much the same as addition over an infinitely small steps between two intervals
if u think about the graph at the top, you have infinite amount of circle perimters that you want to add up
since the graph is made up of infinite amount of circles that are insreasing in raduis
so its not a double integral then?
not with this setup
but u could definitely do it in the x y coordinates and have two integrals
why do u think thats not right?
i submitted it and it marked it wrong 😛
its ok
idk
the integral gave me 81pi
Free double integrals calculator - solve double integrals step-by-step
i tested it in symbolab also to make sure i was right
heres the link
i know, that method was wrong for some reason, not sure why though
its not a test its homework, u have 10 submissions
and i cant enter that bc it wants exact numbers, not decimals
so like fractions or ints
ok just post question again and ping the helpers i think
if anyone knows this pls ping ❤️
@alpine sable
You don't seem to be aware of the formula you're expected to use
dont ping random users, and what have you tried?
oh sorry and I got the answer its y=2x-1
ok
yeah i dont think so :/
this?
@alpine sable
if u use those formulas, you end up with the same answer as the google tool in the pic I'm replying to without the r term in the brackets (the r term in the brackets takes into account the closed end of the cone which is not what you are after I think)
what is that value as a fraction?
_Youssef_
noo ur awesome!
The range is 0 to 2pi
differentiate both side u get a sum of cosines, use AP sum formula for cosines
It is a clever way but, I need to prove it with Fourier series only
How is bn=1, 1/2, 1/3,.... (Iam quiet a newbie)
Ok.... Thank you!
6000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 6 per cent per year, compounded continuously. Meanwhile, 12000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 5 percent compounded annually.
i keep getting 73.1
years but it says that is wrong
can someone help me with this
what's 73.1 supposed to be.
what's the actual question
<@&268886789983436800>
nice
show your work
some questionable vid
oh ok
no it is homeworkfor ap calc i dont understand why i keep getting it wrong though
maybe the "compounded continuously" (in the first sentence) and "compounded annually" (in the second sentence) have to do with it
^
i did too as i was initially reading the problem
thx i got it right
i know i am asking a lot of question but im full on raging cause i dontt understand what im doing wrong here
it looks like you're omitting important signs when separating and grouping terms sidd
hello, can someone teach me how to do this question??
- A map has a scale of 4cm to 1 km. if the distance two towns is 8 km, calculate the corresponding distance on the
map
1 kilometer in real life corresponds to 4 cm on the map
8 kilometers in real life correspond to how many cm on the map?
@fallow karma do the words "map distance is proportional to real distance" ring any bells to you?
ye it is a converstion so 4cm on map/1km real life or the other way around so 8km in real world * 4cm on map / 1 km in real world so the km in real world caancel out and you get 32
cm
The angle of elevation from question 5 is 76 degrees and the answer for a is 14 degrees, but I’m not sure where I’m going wrong in 7b
Is the answer all except a? because the derivatives of all of them are continuous, except for g(x) there shouldnt be a 1??? Or am I missing something very obvious???
the range of T consists of those functions g which are continuously differentiable and satisfy g(0) = 0
Oh, may I ask why? I am a little confused
what are derivatives?
to put it very briefly and in one sentence, the derivative measures a function's rate of change.
for a more complete description, take a calculus course or read an online resource like paul's online math notes.
ok ty
can someone explain how to derive x^-2 using first principles?
everytime i do it i seem to get -2x-1/x^4
differentiate, not derive.
$\frac{1}{h}\paren{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2} - \frac{1}{x^2}}$ is what you're starting with, yes?
Ann
yup
mb
okay, so what do you do next?
do you rewrite 1/(x+h)^2 - 1/x^2 as a single fraction?
as in, is this what you specifically tried to do?
wait multiply? where's the slash?
typo
ah okay
so what you have here is $\frac{x^2 - (x+h)^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$
Ann
yeah i got to here
then you expand the (x+h)^2 at the top, cancel the 2 x^2s
so i get (-2hx - h^2)/hx^2(x+h)^2
cancel the h out
mhm
and i get (-2x - h )/x^2(x+h)^2
uh huh
make h zero, kind of?
let h approach zero, yes.
-2x - 1/ x^2 * x^2
and since we've done all the necessary work to avoid division by zero, we can just set h = 0
so -2x-1/x^4
no, set h = 0, not 1.
why are you setting it to 1 in the numerator
also parentheses
oh shit
i keep getting confused
because when you cancel out variables, you set the value to one
ahh damn it
i see where i was wrong
as in, if i had the (x - h)/h, it becomes x - 1, right?
and i keep forgetting to set it to 1 instead of zero
interesting way to think about it
wait, is it wrong?
no
(x-h)/h becomes a division-by-zero error upon setting h to 0
also yeah like, this
because when you cancel out variables, you set the value to one
is kinda flawed
right, so when i cancel out h, i set it to 1, but when i'm left with h after canceling the h at the bottom, it becomes zero
1 is what happens when you divide something by itself.
you don't set h to 1. at no point was that actually happening in your work.
not in this question but say i somehow got (x-h)/h, in this case i would slash out both h's and make the top h 1
hi all how can i set up this integral
anyway i figured it out so yeah, help out xoxo if you can
no you would not
cause i sure have no idea how to
you cannot cancel out the h's in (x-h)/h
wait what
by your logic, 7/3 = 10
@alpine sable @tawdry pawn this channel is still busy sorry
u cant cancel out a term when its being subtracted
again
cannot cancel
$\frac{10-3}{3} \wtfeq 10 - 1$
oh god tell me i haven't fucked my entire life up
Ann
if the channel is not busy and someone knows how to solve this pls ping me ❤️
still busy sry
i meant for after hehe
@alpine sable you can and should move to another channel. there are 10 of them for a reason.
@snow nest the bot uses a markup language called LaTeX. there are some resources on it in #latex-help and #latex-testing if you want to learn more.
i guess i'll check it out once i understand this
so when i cancel out the h at the bottom
i make the h's at the top 1s, right?
as h/h is 1
if h isn't by itself
is this channel free now
yeah ig so
idk how to solve this question: Express log x-2 log x+3 log (x+1) - log (xsquare - 1) in single logarithm
$\log(x) - 2 \log(x) + 3 \log(x+1) - \log(x^2 - 1)$
Ann
is this what you meant? @tawdry pawn
also you really should be using this symbol: ^ for exponents. like this: x^2
yea
ok
but the brackets are wrong
but the brackets are wrong
are you going to be hellbent on NOT writing parentheses around the input of log whenever possible, or do you ACTUALLY mean i parsed your message incorrectly and this isn't the right expression?
log x-2 log x+3 log (x+1) - log (x^2 - 1)
do you have a picture of the problem?
nope also i m on pc
are you going to be hellbent on NOT writing parentheses around the input of log whenever possible?
i don't get it
as far as i understand, what you have is this:
$\log(x) - 2 \log(x) + 3 \log(x+1) - \log(x^2 - 1)$
Ann
but you are sending me mixed signals as to whether or not this is what you're starting with
the expression looks like this
do you object to me writing $\log(x)$ instead of $\log x$?
Ann
i am so confused rn
i'm pasking patrick_syco if he has an issue with it
and he can't even answer this simple yes-no question
which is a little disconcerting
haha iconic
@tawdry pawn you are going to insist that i write log x instead of log(x). is that the case? Y/N
bad question
answer my question
ambiguous
it doesn't look ambiguous
i can't understand yours
oh wait nvm i read it wrong
since patrick FINALLY provided a picture
but in patrick's plaintext rendition, the spacing threw me right off
patrick i am asking my question as clearly as possible
:(
i want to understand whether or not this notation issue is going to be relevant!
its same question
i want to understand whether or not you are okay with me putting parentheses around the x in log(x) !!!
and you're not telling me!!!!!
you're leaving me in the dark!!!!!!!!!!!
okay fine
i guess i'll have to just abandon my habit just this once
patrick, are you familiar with log laws?
such as $\log(xy) = \log x + \log y$
Ann
and $\log \frac{x}{y} = \log x - \log y$
Ann
and $\log(x^p) = p \log x$
Ann
are these familiar or foreign to you?
ann if u have a minute can i show u my expression for this problem bc im almost certain its right or fairly close to right
im confused abt this bc my expression looks like this and im fairly certain its right or close to it
idk how to latex on here :/
is a torus the donut shape?
close to it, do u want me to send a pic
$\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^\pi \int_0^{7 \sin(\varphi)} r^2 \sin(\varphi) \dd{r} \dd{\varphi} \dd{\theta}$
Ann
just writing out your integral in latex
oo
great then why don't you go to google for all your math problems 😒
If 0 < a < 90 and cos a < 0.5, then which of the following is correct? A<30, A>30, A<60, A<45, A>60. How do I work this out?
you were confusing me a lot
it was a simple expression
YOU were confusing me w/ your aversion to parentheses
and you could'nt understand it
oh, i am SO sorry for paying attention to spacing.
i am so fucking sorry for being thrown off by log x-2 log x+3 log (x-1) making the x-2 and x+3 appear as single units
find out what angles in the first quadrant cos(a) is larger than 0.5
basically find where it's equal to 1/2, and see which side (higher or lower angles) are larger
the integral looks right, assuming r starts at 0 for toruses
yeah
i even put it into symbolab
to like
verify my solving was right
and i get the same thing there but its wrong when i submit
@sonic elk is this with unit circle? how do i find where cos(a) is larger than 0.5
,w integral from 0 to 2pi of (integral from 0 to pi of (integral from 0 to 7sin(y) of r^2 sin(y) dx)dy)dz
i didnt enter it properly
If 0 < a < 90 and cos a < 0.5, then which of the following is correct? A<30, A>30, A<60, A<45, A>60. How do I work this out?
i answered this
read from here
How do I find where its equal to 1/2?
do you know the unit circle?
Not very well
well go look at it and find the abswer
This is false correct?
because any linear transformation maps the zero vector to a zero vector
and zero vector is always zero???
Q.4, I solved the question but there is a confusion that why there is Y in numerator with {{sec^2 x +Y}}
This is answer
Why is there -y in numerator?
can you show your work?
derivative of xy wrt x is not xy'
What is it than?
xy is a product of two functions, x and y
and not a product of function y and a constant "x"
no
again
what im saying is, x is also a function
and not a constant
how do you differentiate a product of 2 functions?
There is formula for that
so apply it
U'v + ....
uv' + v'u / v^2
no
see what i mean when you dont write out the whole thing?
the formula for derivative of a product of 2 functions is (uv)'=u'v + uv'
Yes
How do I approach part 4
abe
will this take me anywhere
differentiate
sin2a = 2sin a cos a ?
yes
take out common factor ans then try maybe
from that i get a < pi/6
idk if that is correct
i remember a similar problem that did use derivative
you must find the exact value of a not the domain
$sin(a)(cosa-sin(a)/\sqrt{3})>0$
Ryuzaki
so u want a general solution?
exact value
The are is $(\cos(\pi / 3) - \cos (\alpha))\sin(\pi/3)$ ??
with r
nvm
it's given in the q3
u have to maximize A
you know for maximum values dA/da = 0
btw are you allowed to use caculas?
then use the fact that at max value dA/da will be 0
exactly
so why did u say max values
mistake
so shouldn't i find $\frac{d^2A}{d\alpha^2}$
abe
and then $\frac{d^2A}{d\alpha^2} < 0$
abe
no
after finding points for which A(a) = 0
what you are referring to is the second derivative test
we use that to check if the value is indeed max / min / saddle
find value of a then put it in d2A/da2 and check ifi it's < 0
$\frac{dA}{d\alpha}=r^2(\cos{2\alpha}-\frac{\sin{2\alpha}}{\sqrt{3}})$
abe
am i right
yes seems alright
abe
solve?
pi/6
6?
so...
2a=pi/3
rolling shutter
huh??
nvm
ok
now what do i do
since r is a constant
there should only be 1 turning point yes?
or not?
2nd derivative test?
,ask second derivative test
are you supposed to use calculus
so is pi/6 my answer
yeah you need to check if it's a local maximum
but i only have 1 solution to dA/da=0
also check endpoints
nope as obvious it may seem u still need to do it
what... ok
Alternatively, you can plug it in at every point
every critical point and end point to make sure it's the largest there
yeah that is true
so what about this inequality
doesn't look very friendly tbh
it is doable by R-formula
but I think the intention is just plug in all the critical points and endpoints
how do you know those are endpoints
what's the valid range for a
then think about it, you have the geometrical configuration
which angles of a are reasonable in this question?
positive
how about pi/3
why pi/3
like you can get arbitrarily close to it
why pi/3
i dont get ur reasoning
also if i solve the inequality
i get $a<\frac{\pi}{6}$
okay can you draw a such that a is just barely less than pi/3
abe
we can get a very close to pi/3
and the closer to pi/3 the smaller it is until it reaches an area of 0
yea?
yeah so a is at most pi/3
we can plug in the endpoints of 0 and pi/3
as well as pi/6 and we should be done
ok..., but can u have a look at what i posted above
i dunno if my approach is valid or not
if a<pi/6
wouldnt that mean
thats the max
where do you have a<pi/6
from the inequality above that
something's wrong
why
where are you getting the inequality?
from the answer
of iii
if Area has to be maximised,
why inequality?
shouldn't that be a =
must also be positive
yeah that means 0<=a<=pi/3
something happened somewhere
,w solve sin2a/2 - sin^2(a)/sqrt(3)>0, 0<=a<=pi/3
lol
nothing new
is this notation a thing?
$\frac{d^2A}{d\alpha^2}(\alpha=\frac{\pi}{6})$
abe
like i wanna say
$\left.\frac{d^2A}{d\alpha^2}\right|_{\alpha=\frac{\pi}{6}}$
Element118
this is the notation for the second derivative evaluated at alpha=pi/6
ok, last thing
why are we evaluating at boundaries
don't we already know its a global max for 0<=a<=pi/3 after finding the nature of the turning point
i found that its negative so its concave down at that area
meaning its max
okay this depends on what you want to include
shouldn't that information be enough
evaluating at end points even though u know a max seems redundant
you can either
- evaluate at boundary and critical points
OR - determine the nature of all the turning points to figure out which local maximums to evaluate
there's two different approaches
but for both u need dA/da yes?
thank you so much
i have a better understanding now
these type of questions are called maximising and minimising?
yes
well that's one way to describe it
optimization in general
alright
i have this function, that accept two parameter and use 'pow' as power, not sure what it measures: cRnd(a,b)=>round(a*pow(10,b))/pow(10,b)
any idea?
Latex pls
looks like rounding to b decimal places
so it's just a rounding function?
based on b decimals?
just dont understand why need power
