#

consider introducing variables to represent the amount each person has

#

for convenience you could use Z and D

for the blue line

#

is the slope for every 1 drop the conductivity increases by 111 µS?

#

sorry my handwriting is bad I can clarify anything

#

but the equation for the blue line is 96.7x+4200

#

so how did I get 111 since the slope is 96.7x

lone heartBOT
#

@alpine sable Has your question been resolved?

woeful pulsar
#

yeah, that's a question for yourself, how did you get 111mu S in the first place?

#

then again 111 and 96.7 are pretty close

alpine sable
#

my bad the problem was the grid was too small so I couldn't tell exactly what the numbers were

next pulsar
#

how do i find x_0 such that theres less than a 10% chance of X<0 ?

woeful pulsar
next pulsar
#

sorry my finger slipped on the enter key

woeful pulsar
#

it's a normal distribution, right?

next pulsar
#

yes

#

is this something to do with inverse normal distribution?

woeful pulsar
#

Ah, less than 10% chance

#

now that makes sense

#

what is the Z-score of 0

next pulsar
#

yep, sorry about that, shouldve mentionewd i edited the original message

#

uhhhh, should i know what a z score is?

#

oh its just how many standard deviations away from the mean a point is?

#

in that case, a z score of 0 would be 16

woeful pulsar
#

0 would be 16 standard deviations away from the mean?

next pulsar
#

16 is 0 standard deviations away

woeful pulsar
#

oh wait, it's the other way around

#

wait a minute no

#

it's $x_0+2$ with a z-score of 0

ocean sealBOT
#

Element118

woeful pulsar
#

yeah there's something to do with inverse normal

next pulsar
#

oh! woops yes i confused the parameters together

#

yes x_0 + 2 has a z score of 0

#

ok so i am looking for Pr(X =< x_0) < 10

#

right?

woeful pulsar
#

wait but Pr(any event) < 10

next pulsar
#

0.1*

#

keep making silly mistakes

#

ive never dealt with inverse normal, would I just integrate the pdf for the normal distribution then use that to work out x_0?

#

i think i can integrate it if i change it to polar coordinates since it looks to me like the normal is of the form e^-x^2

#

maybe theres some bs in statistics that doesnt allow me to do that but i see nothing wrong with that approach?

woeful pulsar
#

you can't integrate it with elementary functions

#

the CDF can be looked up on a table

#

typically

#

so you can find the z-score of various values

next pulsar
#

whaaaaaaat, something so intrinsic in stats doesnt have a nice antiderivative??? O.O

#

man, im beat, i have no clue how to find x_0 here

woeful pulsar
#

Try finding what z score corresponds to a probability of 0.1

glass lichen
#

what are you struggling with...?

#

have you done an integral before?

#

it's the integral of x dx

#

coefficient but yeah.. it's just x^2/(4sqrt(3))

Help

lone heartBOT
alpine sable
#

Can I have some help

glass lichen
alpine sable
#

My answer at #1 is 2.07936x10⁵

#

is my answer right at #1

glass lichen
#

,w calculate (456)^2

glass lichen
#

yes

prime badge
#

no

void solar
#

maybe so

alpine sable
#

what

glass lichen
#

it's correct.

alpine sable
#

Scientific Notations

#

guys

void solar
#

Good job @alpine sable

#

proud of ya

prime badge
#

no, 1 millions is not 10^5

void solar
prime badge
#

if it's correct, I want my old world back

glass lichen
#

that's 100 thousand..

#

which is in fact 10^5

prime badge
#

oh i read it like 2 million

#

thanks

glass lichen
#

so, like I said, yes it's correct.

void solar
#

lmao

alpine sable
#

1.2³ = 1 91/125, 1728, (6/3)³

#

scientific notation

#

the 1 is a whole number

obsidian crane
#

207936 = 2.07936 x 100000 = 2.07936 x 10^5

alpine sable
#

1 91/125

glass lichen
alpine sable
#

1.2³ = 1 91/125, 1728, (6/3)³

glass lichen
#

,w calculate (1.2)^3

obsidian crane
#

that's it

alpine sable
#

is my answer right it's 1.2³ = 1 91/125, 1728, (6/3)³

#

Because scientific Notations or smth

glass lichen
#

why the fuck do you have a random (6/3)^3?

alpine sable
#

Basically it's only 1738

obsidian crane
glass lichen
alpine sable
#

1.728*

glass lichen
#

1.728 in scientific notation is 1.728

alpine sable
#

yeah I know

obsidian crane
#

and scientific notation is only used when needed, how can you further simplify 1.728 ?

glass lichen
#

so what are you saying with the nonsense that is 1 91/125, 1728, 2^3?

obsidian crane
#

sure you can write 17.28 x 10^-1 but that's useless lmao

alpine sable
#

I don't know man

#

so answer is 1.728

obsidian crane
glass lichen
alpine sable
glass lichen
#

yes.

#

I said that already.

alpine sable
#

ight

obsidian crane
#

sure it's not

alpine sable
glass lichen
#

yeah, that's different

#

that's using different units.

alpine sable
glass lichen
#

5's clearly wrong.

#

and in SN the number needs to be b/w 1 and 10.

#

so 4's also wrong

alpine sable
#

what

#

,w calculate (0.32)^2

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

@glass lichen so 0.1024 is wrong?

glass lichen
#

Said that, yes.

alpine sable
#

I thought it was the answer

glass lichen
#

it's not in proper SN

alpine sable
#

How is it supposed to be

glass lichen
#

check your notes for the rules of SN.

Can someone quickly explain this

glass lichen
#

you add pi to it to do a 180 turn

you just add pi

#

So this dosent have a thing to do with Sin(x) being the same with Sin(pi-x)

For $k \neq 0$, find the value of $k$ such that $f(x) = kx^4 -2k^3x^2$ has a local maximum at $x = 1$.

ocean sealBOT
bleak ridge
copper tangle
#

I found the derivative of f(x) , but I'm not sure where to go from there

bleak ridge
#

You'd want that derivative to have a zero at 1

copper tangle
#

derivative of f(x) being 4kx(x^2-k^2)

elder sedge
#

how do you identify a maxima?

#

thats what matters here

raw shard
#

you probably need a second derivative too

#

actually you do

elder sedge
#

it has 2 properties

copper tangle
#

f'(x) must be 0 at x=1,

#

and it must go from - to +

#

I think

raw shard
#

f’’(x) must be greater than 0 at x = 1

#

i think that’s how it works, don’t remember for sure

#

if you just use the first derivative you don’t know if it’s a minimum or maximum

bleak ridge
copper tangle
#

Shouldn't it be less? because greater means concave up right?

elder sedge
#

less than 0

raw shard
#

oof

copper tangle
#

Oh ok

raw shard
#

oh yeah i thought they said minimum oops

copper tangle
#

So, I need to find second derivative. Give me a second while I do that

bleak ridge
#

A second has been given

copper tangle
#

huh

raw shard
#

oof

copper tangle
#

12kx^2-4k^3

#

I think that should be it

raw shard
#

yes

copper tangle
#

So I need k to be something so that f'' is less than 0 at x=1, so maybe I sub in x=1?

raw shard
#

yes

copper tangle
#

12k-4k^3,

bleak ridge
#

I'd prob start with the first derivative

copper tangle
#

Oh

#

ummm

raw shard
#

oh yeah

bleak ridge
#

Since it's more specific rather than less

copper tangle
#

Ok lemme do that

bleak ridge
#

It'll give you exact values to check with the second derivative

elder sedge
#

you want f" to be negative at x=1
because that would imply
the derivative function decreased to 0 (meaning your function was increasing 👀)

copper tangle
#

4k(1-k^2)

elder sedge
#

if that makes sense

copper tangle
#

Yea I get that

raw shard
#

my brain can’t comprehend lol

copper tangle
#

Ok, now I need 4k(1 - k^2) = 0?

#

Or am I doing this wrong

elder sedge
#

care

copper tangle
#

Oh

#

Huh

#

Wait why

elder sedge
#

you're working with f"

copper tangle
#

Oh I was doing f' first

#

Wait now I am confused

elder sedge
#

gotcha

#

no i assumed you did f" 1st dw

copper tangle
#

Ah ok

#

I shall continue

copper tangle
#

4k - 4k^3 = 0

#

and then

#

k=k^3

#

?

#

then k=1...

#

or -1

#

so then we check f'' right?

elder sedge
#

there is one more answer

copper tangle
#

0?

elder sedge
#

but your condition is k not 0 so works out

copper tangle
#

the question sais that 0 cannot be an answer

#

ok

#

So....

#

1 and -1 right?

elder sedge
#

keep going

#

should be clear now

copper tangle
#

Now sub into f''

#

Oh ok

#

I got it

#

Thanks !

@vale hill Has your question been resolved?

oak chasm
#

How many people from P haven't submitted a response?

#

You seem to be adding all the nonsubmitters to Ps who travel by car.

#

But you can't add any Q nonsubmitters to Ps who travel by car because they're not Ps at all, so they can't be Ps who travel by car.

#

34 + 12 + 29 = 75 Ps have submitted a response. 94 - 75 = 19 Ps haven't submitted a response yet.

#

Those Ps can be added to Ps who travel by car to get 12 + 19 = 31 Ps who travel by car.

#

Then there would be 31 Ps who travel by car and 21 Qs who travel by car, so 21/(31 + 21) = 21/52.

white swallow
#

You must learn about functions, the x is probably the input u must give

#

if the problem doesn't specify the input, then you can usually test the function with simple inputs like -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2

#

that simply means they do the same thing but has a different name which are the f and g letters

#

for example f(x)=1+5x and g(x)=1+5x

#

the input which is (x)

#

you put a simple number like I mentioned above -2 -1 0 1 2

#

if I put -1 into the function it becomes f(-1)=1+5*(-1)

#

so that means the function takes -1 input and turns it into 1+5*(-1)= -4

#

you can graph it too

#

do you know how to graph x and y

#

function is just a fancy word

#

1+5x

#

input which is the number you give it

#

it can be any number

gray isle
#

f(x) = 1 + 5x
isn't really something you "solve"

white swallow
#

and replace x with the number u give

there is no final answer

Hello

raven girder
#

I have a simple function R -> R, x -> x²

#

how can I test if it's surjective?

this must be really simple but I can't see it

@raven girder A function is surjective when its codomain = range. Here you can see that the codomain consists of all real numbers >= 0 but the range is R and so it isn't surjective.

#

Or take some y value in R for which there does not exist an x value in R, for example y = -3 which gives us -3 = x^2

#

uhh lemme try

#

thx

#

I find more than the numbers in the options

cobalt palm
#

i'm literally studying this today

#

lmao

#

! is a factorial, basically multiplying it by any value below the number you give it

#

n is the total number, let's say students

#

r is the amount of groups of that number there are

#

so like let's say 19 students and you want to find out how many pairs of 2 you can make

#

2 is r, 19 is n and ! is factorial

#

just plug it into ur calculator and shabang

alpine sable
#

It’s like saying sin(x) is sin times x

#

#

idk man, just try and logic check as much of it as you can, try doing it again fresh, if you still get the same result it’s likely either right or you’ve missed something

steady trout
alpine sable
#

??

manic loom
# dark jewel then?

Say you have 15 students and want to discover how many pairs you can make with them. “r” will be 2 and “n” will be 15, then apply it to the formula and you’re done

#

15! Would be (15 x 14 x 13 … 2 x 1) for example

dark jewel
#

ok i got it

plain arch
#

Find the general solution to the following differential equation. I tried making a substitution of v = H/p but it didn't work. I am unsure what to do lol

#

Oh woops i didn't realise this is occupied uhhhhhh i hope you finished it

safe roost
#

I have a question

#

so i understand that there's 32 possibilities

#

now i could just write out all 32 possibilities and then count the ones that fit

#

but i want to understand the systematic approach to this

vale sapphire
#

Well, picture the sequence of coin tosses

#

That has an order

#

(H,H,H,T,T) fits the bill just as well (H,T,T,H,H)

#

And then notice that the only thing that uniquely characterizes these two sequences is the position of the "heads" throws

#

So, the number of ways to get exactly three heads is the number of ways to choose three spots for each "heads" where the order of the heads doesn't matter

#

In the general case, this is called a binomial coefficient

#

written $n \choose k$

ocean sealBOT
#

Syst3ms

vale sapphire
#

and pronouned "n choose k"

#

And n choose k is precisely the number of ways to choose k elements from a set with n elements, where order doesn't matter

#

In this case you may conceptualize it as choosing 3 elements from the set of all positions (1 through 5)

#

So in your case the number of ways to do that is 5 choose 3, which equals 10

safe roost
#

5 choose 3

vale sapphire
#

oh right

#

derp

safe roost
#

but uuuhh, hang on

#

let me try to grab this

#

as in understand

#

ok yes, i understand this bit.

#

so for the second answer, i could add up 5 choose 3, 5 choose 4, 5 choose 5?

vale sapphire
#

out of 32

#

but yeah

safe roost
#

what i don't understand is... if i write 5 choose 3... what number does that become?

#

is that a fraction, or?

glass lichen
#

,w calculate 5 choose 3

vale sapphire
#

i mean, i'd have trouble picturing a fractional number of ways to choose elements from a set

#

KEK

#

,w calculate 5 choose 3

safe roost
#

well thank god for the internet, but how would i calculate that "by hand" ?

vale sapphire
#

there is a formula but i want to give the intuition for it

glass lichen
#

$\binom{n}{r} :=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

ocean sealBOT
vale sapphire
#

my math teacher considers this a sin more or less

#

it hides the nature of the number a bit

#

anyway

#

say you want to choose r elements from a set with n elements

safe roost
#

so great - this formula is not in the theory i have to cover to answer these questions... it's later

vale sapphire
#

For the first element, you have n choices. For the second one, you only have n-1 options left. For the third one, n-2... For the r-th one, n-r+1 choices

#

So the total number of ways to arrange things is n(n-1)...(n-r+1)

#

However, in the definition we said that we didn't want to worry about the order

#

Which we do here

#

Since we choose each thing in order

#

So we have to divide by the amount of ways to order r elements, and that's precisely r!

#

So, the "true" formula is ${n \choose r} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots(n-r+1)}{r!}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Syst3ms

vale sapphire
#

But it turns out the numerator can be written as n!/(n-r)!

#

but that's a copout >:(

#

i'm slightly joking

safe roost
#

yeah so this is the first time seeing this... man i think our lecturer might just hate our guts

#

because he surely doesn't respect our time

vale sapphire
#

if you didn't know that, then well, get to writing the 32 possibilities

safe roost
#

hahaha yeah i am absolutely not doing that

vale sapphire
#

but this is the way you would avoid doing that

safe roost
#

thanks for showing me this

#

Well what do those two sides tell you about the third

It’s the same length?

#

As the A side on the bigger triangle?

bleak ridge
#

You know the third one by pythag

waxen arrow
#

Ok I think I get it now

#

So I would have to apply Pythagorean therom on the smaller triangle to find one side of the bigger triangle?

Hi, I'm trying to solve this problem: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3369782/sup-1-a-1-inf-a-for-inf-a-0 , but I didn't really get the guy's answer.
I don't really get the epsilon --> 0+ part, but anyway, I would like to solve it without it because I didn't learn about it in class.
After successfully proving that 1/inf(A) is a higher bound of 1/A I'm stuck at proving that it's the supremum. I tried to use the fact that there's an x in A s.t. x > inf(a) + epsilon but without success.

how is this not 0

cuz if u plug in 0 u get 0^0 which is 0

also when i graph the function it approaches 0 from the right

0^0 is not 0

But the answer still may be 0

Is this a valid proof? If f(x) = 1 if x is in the cantor set and f(x) = 0 if x is not in the cantor set, I want to show the integral from 0 to 1 of f is 0. Let f_n(x) = 1 if x is in c_n and 0 if x is not, where c_n is the sets in the construction of the cantor set, like for example c_2 = [0, 1/9] ∪ [2/9, 1/3] ∪ [2/3, 7/9] ∪ [8/9, 1]. Notice the integral from 0 to 1 of f_n(x) = (2/3)^n. Since f_n(x) >= f(x) for all natural numbers n and x in [0, 1], the integral from 0 to 1 of f_n is greater than or equal to the integral from 0 to 1 of f. The limit of the sequence integral from 0 to 1 of f_n is 0 because (2/3)^n goes to 0, and then by the order limit theorem the integral from 0 to 1 of f is less than or equal to 0. Since f(x) is always positive, the integral is greater than or equal to 0, which implies the integral equals 0. I'm unsure if this is valid because I'm assuming f is integrable, but it might still be valid because the proof might show f is integrable.

Quick question to help my understanding. Working on standard form to vertex form questions by completing the square. If I have say: y=x^2-8x+17 the b, (8) that I am diving by 2 is a -8 in this case? But since it becomes (-4)^2, it turns out positive?

lone heartBOT
#

@molten jewel Has your question been resolved?

fading zephyr
#

be careful there

#

the standard form of a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c

#

so b = -8

So it's -8/2 = (-4)^2 = +16, correct?

how do i found an asymptote of a hyperbola ? like for examle
y = 4/x + 3

what would the asymptote be and how do i identify that

placid zinc
#

You'd want to know things about 1/x, then apply transformations onto it

#

,w graph 1/x

next chasm
#

Its 4/x

#

So vertical stretch 4 times

#

Like factor of 4

fallow pagoda
#

what does that mean lol

next chasm
#

And x cant be 0 again, but you would move the graph 3 units up

placid zinc
#

Good call, you're right

fallow pagoda
#

right so would the asymptote be y = 3 ?

next chasm
#

x0-as in index

placid zinc
#

With those transformations in mind, the y = 0 asymptote becomes y = 3.

The x = 0 asymptote stays as x = 0

next chasm
#

Ye

fallow pagoda
#

right

#

so how does the x asymptote change

next chasm
#

It dont

fallow pagoda
#

what changes in the equation for that to change

#

never ever ?

next chasm
#

Juust 1/x graph

#

3 units up

#

Vertical stretch by 4

fallow pagoda
#

well the equation i gave was just an example im trying to understand how to identify and asymptote bc i have an exam coming u

#

so the y axis asmyptote is determined by the constant on the end

#

and the x axis asmyptote never changes?

#

ohh

#

unless

#

y = 3 / (x - 2 ) + 4

asymptotes:
y = 4
x = 2

#

is that right

A sensor node uses a radio (IEEE 802.15.4) that consumes 25 mA when transmitting or receiving. Assume that the battery holds a maximum of 2500 mAh with a required voltage level. The radio transmission speed is 250 kb / s. In practice, the radio is active during 4% of the time (duty cycle 4%), ie. the transmission speed is 10 kb / s on average. During the time the radio is idle, it is assumed that the energy consumption is approximately zero. Given these conditions calculate: After how long time does the battery need to be recharged?

pearl jetty
#

I would tell you what I calculated, but I think you would laugh

#

I think this is more of a physics question but idk

#

I got it to like 100 hours using thishttps://www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-battery-life

#

but since it is just 4% active it's actually 2500 hours

#

I think the reason it holds so long is because it is just a transmitter receiver sensor node (what is sensor about it) that is attached to a battery, no phone running any calculations or anything

@pearl jetty Has your question been resolved?

modern lotus
# pearl jetty I think the reason it holds so long is because it is just a transmitter receiver...

From a purely mathematical perspective these are the only useful information:

  • The radio comsumes 25 mA
  • The battery holds 2500mAh
  • The radio is active during 4% of the time
    All the other things are redundant.

So you first calculate how long it lasts if it's active 100% of the time
2500/25=100 hours

And then divide that by 4%
100/0.04=2500 hours

And if it is not the answer, please seek help in a…whatever field the problem is from…server

pearl jetty
#

I derived 2500H too

modern lotus
#

Is that wrong?

pearl jetty
#

I can't say since I don't know, but it was the same as I came up with

#

I do have a second question to this one

modern lotus
#

If the transmission speed or the standard it's using are irrelavent to energy consumption, then it should be 2500h

pearl jetty
#

yeah

#

How many bytes can be transferred from the sensor node, e.g. to a mobile phone, during a battery life if we assume that the sensor node only transmits and does not receive data?

#

I derived it to 450 GB

modern lotus
#

It transmits 10kb/s on average as given, so in 2500 hours, which is 2500*3600=9*10^6 seconds, it should be able to transmit 9*10^6*10=9*10^7kb of data

#

So if I have not mistaken, you multiply kb by 8 to get KB?

#

and then you divide 1024 for GB, I think?

pearl jetty
#

8 bit = 1 Byte

modern lotus
#

Yeah, so times 8 then divide by 1024

#

Wait

pearl jetty
#

Kilo1000 is mega and 1000mega is giga

modern lotus
#

That's MB

#

Oh wait bytes are in base 10

pearl jetty
#

Mb = megabit and MB = megabyte

modern lotus
#

Ah so you times 8 then divide by 1000 to get MB and 1000*2 to get GB

#

So do that

pearl jetty
#

Ehh?

modern lotus
#

The speed is given as kb/s so it's in kilobits

#

You have to multiply them by 8 to get Kilobyte isn't it

pearl jetty
#

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. Its recommended unit symbol is MB. The unit prefix mega is a multiplier of 1000000 (106) in the International System of Units (SI). Therefore, one megabyte is one million bytes of information. This definition has been incorporated into the International System of Quantities.
H...

#

yeah

#

wait

#

divide kilobits by eight to get kilobytes

modern lotus
#

Yes

pearl jetty
#

80 kb = 10 KB

modern lotus
#

It's common to mix up the basic arithmetics so don't worry

And I'm 3 years into my computer science major
Which is embarrassing

pearl jetty
#

you are also using 2500 H when it should be 100H

#

since the radio is transmitting at all times

#

it would run out after 100 hours

#

so 100 H x 3600s x 10 000kb/s (or 1250KB/s if divided by eight) = 450 GB

In another word im not sure if i did it correctly

nova wadi
#

do you mean for (iii)

barren river
#

yes

nova wadi
#

it's incorrect for (b) and (c)

barren river
#

right then how do i solve it

nova wadi
#

If it's asking for real roots, you can just look at how many times the curve crosses the x axis

barren river
#

oh right

#

does touching counts

nova wadi
#

yes

#

so that is 1 real root

barren river
#

so uh

#

How do i get the x axis intercept thingy

#

Its the ii

#

anyone?

nova wadi
#

you're correct for ii

#

for the number of x intercepts

#

ii and iii are asking the same thing

barren river
#

oh right

#

But what if it doesnt give me a picture

nova wadi
#

you can always calculate the determinant

#

the (i)

barren river
#

I kinda dont understand

nova wadi
#

pan4 bie2 shi

#

you need the equation or the graph

#

if you have the equation, you can calculate it

barren river
#

the b^2 4ac thing?

nova wadi
#

and if it is >0, then 2 real roots

#

yes

#

if = 0 then 1 real root,

#

if <0 then no real roots

barren river
#

ah alright thanks

nova wadi
#

yup np

barren river
#

how do i close this

nova wadi
#

uh idk lol

In what circumstances is equation (2) useful over equation (1) for solving the top optimisation problem

glass lichen
daring cairn
#

also just realised I'm missing an inverse sign on the inner bracket of (2)

rough acorn
#

oops we posted at the same time

daring cairn
#

if it helps, R is upper triangular as we are looking at the QR factorisation

#

One idea: For lambda sufficiently large, equation 2 allows us to ignore the term after the minus sign

How can I solve this without L'Hopital's?

lone heartBOT
#

@odd obsidian Has your question been resolved?

nova wadi
#

interesting question, I can't figure it out yet but wondering what you have tried?

glass lichen
#

On the top and bottom of course

nova wadi
#

does that work with cube roots?

odd obsidian
odd obsidian
glass lichen
#

Are you using the congujate or cbrt()+2?

odd obsidian
#

cbrt()+2

#

like, I'm multiplying the top and bottom by that

glass lichen
#

That's not the conjugate in difference of cubes

odd obsidian
#

oh?

#

What would it be then?

glass lichen
#

Whats difference of cube factorization

odd obsidian
#

oh! is it (a-b)(a^2+2ab+b^2)?

glass lichen
#

Yes.

odd obsidian
#

= (a^3-b^3)

glass lichen
#

The 2nd factor is the conjugate

#

a^2+ab+b^2

odd obsidian
#

the 2nd factor being the conjugate

#

as in, how would that work?

nova wadi
#

ohhhhhh makes sense now

glass lichen
#

You multiply top and bottom by the congujate

odd obsidian
glass lichen
#

Yes.

odd obsidian
#

I see. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!!

odd obsidian
glass lichen
#

Simplify

odd obsidian
#

oh wait

glass lichen
#

(2-x)/(x-2)=?

odd obsidian
#

Right, just did that, but I'm still getting a zero in the denominator

glass lichen
#

Should be +8 I think

#

Again look at the factorization

odd obsidian
#

Ah right oops! My mistake, yeah it's plus 8

#

But then I still think I'm doing something wrong since it's supposed to be -1/12 but I'm getting -1/16

#

I'm not sure, I think I may have messed up the factorization

#

But thank you very much!!

b) isn't, look at some double angle identities for cos(2x)

Question:The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 7cm/s and it’s width is increasing at a rate of 2cm/s. When the length is 20cm and the width is 15cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

What’s wrong with my work!? Any help would be appreciated.

#

wait

#

Yes
I don't know how to solve this

#

what do they mean with points and how to solve it?

#

I got this equation after taking the derivate with respect to time

#

but what to do farther what do they mean with points?

charred flint
#

points will just be spots on the x-y graph

#

you have the right first step, now you want that equation to become dx/dt=2dy/dt

#

although maybe it's a trick question because x^2+y^2-2x=-1 is a really weird graph

raven spade
#

Hmmm

#

our question usually have a trick in it

charred flint
#

is a supposed to be the right answer?

#

because ,w x^2-2x=-1

raven spade
#

Yes

#

1 point

charred flint
#

,w x^2-2x=-1

#

,w graph x^2+y^2-2x=-1

charred flint
#

the graph is just the point (1,0) lol

raven spade
#

?!

charred flint
#

feels like a mistake in the question, but let's pretend it's a nice function that actually has a shape lmao

raven spade
#

Yeah I think it's a mistake

charred flint
#

you have 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt - 2dx/dt=0

raven spade
#

Yes

charred flint
#

and want the condition dx/dt=2dy/dt

raven spade
#

Yes

#

The problem is that I have x and y in my equation

#

how to remove them?

charred flint
#

right so only a few values of x and y will satisfy the condition

#

and those values are your points

#

so moving dx stuff to one side and dy stuff to another

#

(2x-2) dx/dt = (2y) dy/dt

raven spade
#

Yes

charred flint
#

and the condition says 2x-2=1, 2y=2

raven spade
#

Wait

#

How did you go from (2x-2)dx/dt = (2y) dy/dt to 2x-2=1, 2y=2

charred flint
#

(2x-2) dx/dt = (2y) dy/dt
dx/dt = 2 dy/dt

#

I'm just matching the numbers in front of the dx and dy

raven spade
#

I though you would say

#

Oh

#

You brought the condition

#

Yes I understand now

charred flint
#

alright cool

raven spade
#

so If I got more than 1 x or more than 1 y that's mean I have multiple points

#

But because all the variable I have now is to the first power I only have 1 point right?

charred flint
#

right

#

if there were 2 x's that worked and 2 y's that worked, it'd be four points

raven spade
#

Thank you

#

yes

#

(x1,y1), (x2,y1), (x2,y1), (x2,y2)

#

Like this right?

charred flint
#

right

raven spade
#

x1 = the first value of x
and y1 is the first value of y

#

and the same goes to number 2

#

Thank you

A study reported 36.5% episotomies in 10630 natural births.
Given a confidence interval of 95% calculate the margin of error's value for said confidence interval.

delicate ridge
#

Hi, so the given answer is 0.694%

#

With the given values I did:

#

Ends up as 1.96 . sqrt ( 0.365(1-0.365) / 10630 )

#

But it gives me 0.915%

#

Is the answer wrong or did I miss something?

cyan basalt
#

Hello. I cant figured out what is the primitive of a func and why i need it in integral calculus. Can y help me?

vale sapphire
#

I recommend this video (along with its associated series) by 3blue1brown

#

Antiderivative and primitive are synonyms (though the former is preferred in English)

#

If you want a quick and dirty answer, an antiderivative of a function f is a function F such that F'=f

#

But there's deep relations to integrals and the video gives an intuition for why that is

cyan basalt
#

Thx. I can imagine this like a derivative?
