So a x (a-b)/b?
still no
let's go step by step
first find this
in 1 part, how much is wine and how much is water
(a-b)/a?
Ok
so in 1 part, (a-b)/a is wine
So the amount of wine in a gallon is a-b
Umm so the amount of b gallons here is b(a-b)/a?
yes
and we remove b(a-b)/a from a-b (in the initial "a" parts)
so final volume of wine is a-b-(b(a-b)/a)
So $a-b-(b(a-b)/a)=a-b-b-b^2/a$

Trenton
Did I do sth wrong?
why?
Cuz this is the amount of wine
take (a-b) common

when doing partial fractions
for square root
will it be a or waht
let me give an exmaple
is this correct?
or square x has something to a
you can't use partial fractions here
In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.
,w integral 1/(sqrt(x) (x^2 - 1))
aren't you supposed to solve the integral yourself?
ye but the only thing i can think of is partial fractions
is there something else i can do?
i don't know how to get the solution, so i'd try trig substitution first, then maybe integration by parts
trig sub hmm
there are 6, hopefully 1 of them works

Is this your recurrence
$c_n = 12 \cdot 11^{n-1} - c_{n-1}$, $c_2 = 12 \cdot 11 = 132$ ?
riemann
can you write down the first 5 terms in the sequence ?
riemann
wait, the base case is C2
riemann
n >= 2
then you can do this
do what?
.
what is this equation when n=2 here
c2 = 12*11
nope
why
plug in n =2
right?
riemann
.
.
My question says don't use C1 and C0
riemann
no
just ask your question more clearly and provide necessary context
you're not allowed to?
no

I have found that A = 4/3 and r = 3 by doing 108 = ar^4 and 2916 = ar^7
I have tried plugging in as Sn = (4/3(1-3^7))/(1-3)
But it doesnt seem to be the answer
what am I doing incorrectly?
You have gotten the indexes confused probably
a4 = 108 = ar^4
what exactly is this a?
figure that out
I did it by doing 2916/108 = r^3
which is 27 = r^3
and r is 3
and plugging that into the function
108 = a (3)^4
and got a as 4/3
But what is a
I think $a_k = a_1 r^{k-1}$, for $k \geq 1$
Mat
The first number that comes in the sequence?
what is a1 equal to
So you should set 108 = a1 r^3, for instance
Its not a matter of which formulas is correct or whatever
its being clear what your numbers/variables mean
a1 should be the first number in the sequence
you decided an = ar^n
it appears
so what is a1
you figured out a and figured out r
You probably plugged a1 incorrectly into that formula
It's not 4/3
Then im not sure how to find a1
Try out $$108 = a_1 r^3$$ $$ 2916 = a_1 r^6$$ @alpine sable
Mat
bruh
the issue isnt they picked the wrong formula
They need to figure out what is wrong with the steps they tried
Which is they dont seem to be clear on what a1 should be for what theyve written
Their formula indeed is not wrong, they just need to use it accordingly
For a4 i put 108 = a (r^4) and for a7 i put 2916 = a (r^7)
so what is a1 then?
in terms of a and r of course
exactly
a1 = ar
and you plugged in the wrong a1 earlier
you thought a1 = a which is incorrect
a would be the 0th term for what you have written
then what step do i have to take to find a1?
3*4/3?
look at the formula
It requires you to plug in a1
so plug in the correct a1
which is ar

My question is simple
what is your question?
how -1< x < 1 go to 0 < x^2 < 1?
and then 2 < 2+x^2 < 3
That's wrong right?
I mean (-1)^2 = 1
I don't believe your second inequality is right anyway
I don't get it?
0 ≤ x < 1, not -as you've written- 0<x<1
Note the bar under the <
Right
It's a parabola
Between x = -1 and x = 1
Yeah
Minimum of the parabola is...?
Yh
so
if I always square I get 0 <= x^2 <= a^2
consider a is the other number
sorry fixed it
nps
Also, I think for comparison properties, you should use weak inequalities
weak inequalities?
So start with -1 <= x <= 1 and continue
gl
oh wait
In this solve he used strong
although the choses are in weak inequalities

I understand the top equation
I would just like to know
what is linearization of f
and why we need to add our equation of tangent plane to f(a,b)
riemann
the plane without $f(a, b)$ is a bad approximation to $f(x, y)$ at $(a, b)$

Can i get help here
What work have you done so far
use implicit differentiation again
Show work for us to be able to help
$2(x^{2}+y^{2})^{2} = 25(x^{2} - y^{2})\
4(x^{2}+y^{2})(2x + 2y\frac{dy}{dx}) = 25(2x - 2y\frac{dy}{dx})$
Nix Valentine
$8x^{3}+8xy^{2} + (8x^{2}y+8y^{3})\frac{dy}{dx} = 50x - 50y\frac{dy}{dx}$
Nix Valentine
$(8x^{2}y+8y^{3} + 50y)\frac{dy}{dx} = 50x - 8x^{3} - 8xy^{2}$
Nix Valentine
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{50x - 8x^{3} - 8xy^{2}}{8x^{2}y+8y^{3} + 50y}$
Nix Valentine
,calc (50(3) - 8(3)^3 - 8(3)(-1)^2)/(8((3)^2)(-1) + 8(-1)^3 + 50(-1))
Result:
0.69230769230769
Nix Valentine
What did you enter that said it was wrong
$y + 1 = \frac{9}{13}x - \frac{27}{13}$
Nix Valentine
$y = \frac{9}{13}x - \frac{14}{13}$
Nix Valentine
so I entered -14/13
How did you get the second equation?
This one
i subtracted 1 from both sides
,calc -27/13-1
Result:
-3.0769230769231
,calc -40/13
Result:
-3.0769230769231
Stop ignoring minus signs
-40/13 is it?

What does "diverges" mean?
not converge
in term of limit, it means that it goes to infinity, or doesn't approach a value
So
lim as x approach infinity of cos(x)
does not approach a value
it diverges?
Thanks!

Hey, can I get help with this question please, Topic is Integration by Substitution.
I've got up to the final integration in terms of du, and am unsure of where to procceed from there, I can explain my working if neccacary,
Thanks
how would I approach that
because I don't think it's covered in my syllabus
Partial fraction decomp?
thats the next topic, but I'm not allowed to use that here
if i gave you my simplified version
sorry one second
Well you get a 1/(4x^2 - 1)
yes
I mean i guess you could do like a 2x = sec
u = sqrt(x)
u² = x
du = dx/2u
no need for partial frac
2/ 4x^2 - 1
how did you get du = dx/2u?
oh okay
He was thinking I was talking abt PFD with the sqrt
derivative of sqrt(x)
1/2(x)^-1/2?
derivative of sqrt is 1/2sqrt(x)
oh
Lol
i thoguht the power decreases too
ah, I'm not good at simplifying it while typing xd
im too lazy to write parenthesis dude
Anyways teach verified how to do 1/(4x^2 -1) with no PFD or hyperbolic arctan
Or find some other cool way to do this
when you let u = sqrt(x), you have 2u/(u(4u²-1))
yes
i cancelled the u on top and bottom after
ye
well partial frac I guess
4u² -1 = (2u)²-1² = (2u-1)(2u+1)
dont tell me you dont know how to do partial frac
$\frac{1}{(2u-1)(2u+1)} = \frac{A}{2u-1} + \frac{B}{2u+1}$
Herels
,wolf \frac{-1/2}{2x-1}+\frac{1/2}{2x+1}
hm
I just want the result but whatever
interesting formatting
recheck your calculations
will do
ah yes
I
swapped the wrong place
makes sense
A = 1/2, B = -1/2
yup
so the final is
now integrate and dont forget that u = sqrt(x)
1/2(2u-1) - 1/2(2u+1)
so I've got
ln(3) - 1/2 ln (5)
im too lazy to verify, just use wolframalpha

I'm quite stuck when writing a negated universal statement symbolically
No vegetarians eat meat.
Should I define vegetarians and "eats meat" as separate variables?
I got this:
Let V = The set of all vegetarians
Let M = “eats meat”
∀ x ∈ V, ~M(x)
But I'm not very confident.
no
yes
What?
its a yes and no right?
No
yes
No it's not
no ur question
I'm asking how to write something symbolically
ye
donyt overcomplicate
So how should I do it then?
this html right?
I'm actually trying to do this whole syllogism:
No vegetarians eat meat.
All vegans are vegetarian.
∴ No vegans eat meat.
No
Discrete math
@tawdry jolt Has your question been resolved?
I tried and got this:
Let P = “vegetarians”
Let Q = “vegans”
Let M = “does not eat meat”
P → M
Q → P
∴ Q → M
But what type of argument is that?
That's not a valid argument.
Is that better?
This should be transitivity
Yes, it's transitive property of implication.
In Curry Howard correspondence, it corresponds to function composition.

Had a controversial question on a quiz. Plane starts at 0m/s and ends at 100 m/s. The distance is 2.5 x 10^3 m. Sorry had this question on a different help chat but it got closed.
What is it asking for?
Sorry, average lowest acceleration
lowest acceleration?
Is it a calc class?
Physics
Kinematic formulas?
Yeah
Which one would you use
If you use kinematics u get 2 but if u do 0.04 * 2.5 x 10^3 u get 100
distance = acceleration * time²/2
and
velocity = acceleration * time
They prob said that to make sure people were actually solving it
Not just making a guess with a little bit of evidence from the choices
So the answer is 2?
Yeah
By rearranging the equations you should get: distance = 1/2 velocity * time
and time = 2 distance / velocity. Then plug in secodn equation and get
velocity = 2 acceleration * distance / velocity
acceleration = velocity² / (2 distance)

i have a double integral, main function is y^{1/2}cos(y)dydx
with x from 0 to 1 and y from x^2 to 1
I am trying to reverse the order of the bounds
to my understanding the upper bounds will both still be 1
but x's lower bound would be y^1/2 i think?
and y's would be 0??
this is what i have so far
$$\int_0^1 dx \int_ {x^2}^1 dy \sqrt{y} \cos(y)$$
M8732
Have you drawn the region...?
im doing that in desmos atm
You must reverse integral signs if you revers oerder of bounds.
ok i at least have the order of my bounds correct now i think?
to my understanding the region would be between the four lines
the 4 curves defining the region are the bounds
You start with (x,y) such that y>x². Then sqrt(y)>x.
Not the integrand
ah yeah because its sideways i see what you mean
it'd be the purply area
because the original function doesnt impact the region of integration>
i think thats what im getting hung up on
The integrand has nothing to do with the region, no
this is starting to look better i think
looking it over in desmos it seems correct?
yes
thank yall for helping explain it to me
for some reason i really struggle with bounds so ty
Yeah it does, nice work!

(a-c)^2 = a^2 - 2ac + c^2 = 9
(a+b) (a-c) = a^2 - ac + ab - bc = 15
a^2 - ac + ab - bc = a^2 - 2ac + c^2 + 6

I mean still no question
wait i have a answer can u check if its correct
you posted a problem, not a question
sure
that image is a problem lol
But not really a question, it doesn't illustrate what you want us to do
aside from the fact that you're a weirdo for putting the taskbar at the top of the screen, the table seems correct
random variables probability distribution table and graph ( bar graph)
I have it on the right
no offense :\
okay so the only thing im going to do is bar graph how do i make that
bar graph?
well i like it than task bar in bottom because idk why it makes me uncomfortable
yep bar graph
list the outcomes on x-axis and the probabilities on y-axis and then draw bars
those bars better be sick
so all the answer that i answered i will put on the bar grapgh?
i mean all the results i will put on the grapgh or what
try it and post
looks good, although depending on how pedantic your teacher is the areas of the bars have to add up to 1
Is that window 11?
@swift basalt Has your question been resolved?
what is standard deviation?
@swift basalt Has your question been resolved?
no i solved it bymyself
<@&286206848099549185> help on this one please
hello
Which ques.
this please
im struggling finding the answer
@median dirge
please help me
😦
<@&286206848099549185> please help me please please please
@swift basalt
please help me
did u find out the answer?
I wont find out your answers
why?
Come in a VC
why??
no i need the answers just type it here
ik
And yes, we dont give away answers
can u tell me how to type it on calculator because i tried it and no results
There are homework servers for that
what should i put
its not homework its exercise for us
we literally get no grades in this question lol
just explain it here
Okay
okay okay i get it u wont tell me the answer its okay
So for all x values less than 0. It has a y-value of 2x-5
And for all x values equal to or greater than 0. It has a y-value of x+7
someone told me that i should write it like 2x(-1) then the result are -7
is it correct?
also i need solutions
So first of all you see how the function looks like
what do i need to do
wait
-1?
At x=-1
1
What is the limit of this function
How did you get that
i think 0
0 is the answer
i have a answer but no solution because i use the calculator
wait my first answer is -7,-6,-0.5x,-0.02x,-0.002x
so i should rmeove the x then all the answers are ok now?
yes i have done but not this way
we dont use graph in solving the limits
wait dont erase im going to write what u write
okay i get it now thanks

Hey I was wondering if someone could tell me what kind of algorithm I would use to calculate the best path to target from start position
the blue line is path we wanna find
the black line's are walls that we want to ricochet off to the target position
What is "best path"
There's a way you can find any path?
but it would include some trial and error
everyone is typing but no one is saying anything
okay if yall need help you can @ me
Let the man type Lmao. Tr1x thats a good explanation.
for example using something like A* search algorithm to find best path to target object but we want to do this based on ricochet so we have the ability to change direction once it hits something (I.E a wall) but we don't know how calculate it using ricochet or even if this is the correct algorithm to use
yes
yeah idk about the shortest path guaranteed
but you can find a short path
Here's an iterative algorithm
- test if you can reach target
- if yeah cache result
- reflect all targets across each surface
- test if you can reach target
Don't Memorize

cant figure it out
Consider the complement
what does that mean
is it some american term?
so just this?
well yes
so the complement probability im referring to
is the probability of the complement event
1/2?
???
what lol
when in that very specific example you screenshotted then yes
but not in your original question
ive never heard of what you're talking about are you asking for the probability of heads/tails
What is the complement event in the q
In fact what is the event that happens in the Q, first of all
(1/2)^2?
????
idk thats what i was wondering
what?
jesus chill
What level of math are you taking
Has probability not been defined in terms of events
for you?
idk what it is in the american system
year 11
so 10th grade maybe?
idk im not the best
The event in the question is:
'Pat gets at least 1 head and at least 1 tail'
Im not from america either
does this make sense to you?
yes
so what would the opposite of that be?
correct
'Pat gets all heads or all tails'
is the complement
Have you been shown probability in terms of sets?
I was gonna say "isn't it no heads or no tails" but then I realized I'm stupid lmao
We might let the set A represent 'Pat gets at least 1 head and at least 1 tail'
The question wants P(A)
And I suggested to instead work out $P(A^c)$
Shuri2060
Do you know how $P(A)$ and $P(A^c)$ are related to each other?
Shuri2060
A^c means the complement of A
right
ok ill try and figure it out gimme a sec
they are opposites, but I mean to ask how their probabilities are related

Can anyone solve this : (((l*q)+6)/l) = 98
l=___
q=___
i am not the best at maths but i can try and tell you what i did if it helps
k
i multiplied by I to get (I*q)+6 = 98I
then divided to get q + 6/I = 98
didn't really do much
but it's in a better form
now this is a reciprocal graph
now you can see that there are infinitely many solutions
can use q and I on x and y
One solution is enough
can just put a q value in and get an I value that works
if you want one solution set q = 0 and solve for l
q = 98 - 6/I
K, thnks for helping me out
Ya, I didn't think 'bout that
I'm not understanding you, i'm a 8th grader
what you don't understand?
I'm not understanding anything
can you make (l+6)/l=98, l+6=98*l
no
No
now you can
I edited it
Now that edited version is correct
yeah. now you need to get all the I's together
I think it is easier to solve now
you have 98I on right side and 1I on left side
so if you subtract 1I from both sides, you get 6 = 97I
Ya, now I got you
great!
FYI this was wrong if the problem was $$\frac{l \cdot q +6}{l}=98$$
I used calculator for this
dldh06
I set q to 0
Yes, and what you said was wrong as I mentioned
Let me check
You don't get $$\frac{l + 6}{l}=98$$ if q = 0
dldh06
Oh sorry, I set q to 1
Yes, it's correct, but keep it in fraction form
K
Don't use decimals because fractions are more exact

d(1/x)/dx = 1 because
d(1/x) = 1/h, d(x) = h, so (1/h /h) = 1
is this exercise correct?
I'm so confusing,i think the teacher make some mistake when she typing this
so what's going on here?
d(1/x)/dx is the derivative of 1/x
yes
which is the same as x^(-1)
I don't understand this.
Don't ask in an occupied channel
Read #❓how-to-get-help
right, I get that, so why am I getting the wrong answer here?
and how do you get that from this diagram?
using power rule, you get -1/x²
I'm not using the power rule
I'm using this diagram
why am I too stupid to figure this out?
I've been staring at this for hours
probably because you're trying to find a derivative using a graph with no points
and getting a numeric answer?
why does 3b1b tell you to do it then?
This is part of a video, if you're questioning about d(1/x)/dx equals what, if you continued in the video, wouldn't it tell you the answer?
so how much y changes to x
what video is this?
Some common derivative formulas explained with geometric intuition.

a disappointing son
geometrically
yes
I'm gonna put my logic here. Tell me what you think. dx is a distance, h. d(1/x) is another distance 1/h, so d(1/x)/d(x) is 1/h /h or just 1.
but... that doesn't make any sense
i'm not sure how you reason d(1/x)=1/h
I'm not sure how I keep getting it either
dx is h right?
you can just
say it's a distance
d(x²) ≠ dx²
you could assign dx to h if you'd like, however i don't see that helping
no
why
i'm still unsure how you're arriving there
d(1/x) is the change in height of the rectangle he drew
yeah
he's saying the area of that rectangle must be equal no matter how you change dx or d(1/x)
yes
d(1/x) is asking the question "if i change x by an arbitrarily small amount, how does 1/x change"?
the function is 1/x, so if you plug in h, you get 1/h right?
sure but h is just a randomly assigned variable
yeah
d(1/x) does not mean plug in h for x in 1/x
d of something is not plugging another value in
then what the fuck does it mean?
.
that's what's geometrically shown
no it ain't
it's a Y distance
yeah, but that doesn't mean it's the y distance you get when plugging in dx
oh wait
he shows d(1/x) as the change in height of the rectangle that occurs when you have a small change in x
(also, note d(1/x) is negative here)
3b1b points that out already
if you slightly increase x, 1/x should slightly decrease
okay so
the corner of the red rectangle
to the corner of the green rectangle
is dx
horizontally
Say dx is really small, like 0.1
what you plug in
you're not plugging in anything
then how are we getting y values on this graph?
we're not
no, ofc not
I understand I'm wrong
I think you're muddying the waters here
Let me go the physicist route for this
talk about muddying the waters
Yeah well i don't think the formalism helps here
do you want me to tell him to go ahead and plug in numbers
cause you're not supposed to do that
all 3b1b is saying is that the area of the red rectangle must equal the area of the green rectangle
that's literally it
and he already labels the length and width of both rectangles
