and its 1 in the morning

Understandable ^^

jovial breach
#

And in denominator, you must've used identity $(a+b)(a-b)$ which is $a^2-b^2$ so I will be $6^2-(√8)^2$

Good luck with the rest of your work

Hey, just a quick question

lone heartBOT
rigid crane
#

If there's a sample of 100

#

and the covariance for X1 and Y1 is a certain number, say 0.15

#

then is the covariance for X and Y (the whole sample) 100 * 0.15?

#

X1 would be that the first person is, say, tall, and Y1, that they'd be, say, smart

marsh rapids
#

that's vertical

#

You don't want to affect the y values, but the x values that give the y values. You want each x to count more

severe sluice
marsh rapids
#

horizontal squish means that y = f(2) would be somewhere between x = 0 and x = 2 instead of x = 2. A simple way of doing this linearly would be to just squish it by a factor 1/2, so each x counts double

proud basin
#

yeah

#

only by 3 or its multiples

#

different rules for diff numbers

amber iron
#

Well there’s a rule

#

But not necessarily basic

#

Requires number theory but you can do it for all numbers

proud basin
#

yeah

#

eg

#

lets say you have some number abcd

#

9 > a,b,c,d > 0

#

abcd = 1000a + 100b + 10c + d

#

suppose it is divisible by 3

amber iron
#

That’s gonna be too complex

#

Gonna require a lot of computation

proud basin
#

??

#

there are two steps

#

😯

#

anyways

amber iron
#

Oh divisible by 3

#

Well nvm

proud basin
#

999a + 99b + 9c divides 3 (obviously)

amber iron
#

Continue

proud basin
#

hence a+b+c+d divides 3 if abcd divides 3

sterile vale
#

Hi, we can approximate tan(x) ~ x for limits when x tends to 0

sterile vale
#

does this also imply that both tan^2(x) ~ x^2 and tan(x^2) ~ x^2

#

same for sin

#

just wanted to confirm

little drum
#

$\tan x = x + \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{2x^5}{15} + \frac{17x^7}{315} + \ldots$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

for sufficiently small 'x' you can ignore the higher exponents :O

#

so yeah, tan²(x) ~ x² and tan(x²) ~ x²

sterile vale
#

thanks a bunch

#

same with sin?

#

and same with 1-cos^2(x) and 1-cos(x^2) ?

#

the place of the exponent doesnt matter ?

#

or if it's something like sin(2x) vs 2sin(x)

#

@little drum o:

little drum
#

:o

sterile vale
#

o:

little drum
#

$\cos x = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \ldots$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

what do you think 🥺

alpine sable
#

Approximation?

sterile vale
#

jk um

little drum
#

oh btw.. (1 - cos² x) shouldn't be same as 1 - cos(x²)

sterile vale
#

right 1-cos^2(x) is (x^2/2)^2

little drum
#

because, you see.. for sufficiently small enough x, 1 + cos x ~ 2

#

but 1 - cos x ~ x²/2

sterile vale
#

and 1-cos(x^2) is (x^2)^2/2

little drum
#

so the product kinda tends to x²

#

ehhh

#

nuu

sterile vale
#

why not :(

little drum
#

because for small enough x, (1 - cos² x) = (1 + cos x)(1 - cos x)

#

but cos x ~ 1

#

so, (1 + cos x) ~ 2

#

(1 - cos x) ~ x² / 2

#

so, (1 - cos² x) ~ x²

#

this can visibly be seen if you use the taylor expansion

#

$\cos x = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \ldots$

ocean sealBOT
sterile vale
#

okay

little drum
#

So, $(1 - \cos x)(1 + \cos x) = (\frac{x^2}{2!} - \ldots)(2 - \frac{x^2}{2!}+ \ldots)$

sterile vale
#

okay thanks a bunch

ocean sealBOT
little drum
sterile vale
#

im trying to confirm that my teacher did it the same way

little drum
#

Hey!! (1 - cos(x²)) however does work the same way

#

it's just (x²)²/2!

alpine sable
#

Yea

pale kestrel
#

sin 🍎 is roughly 🍎

#

for small apples

alpine sable
#

hmmCat where is apples coming here lol

little drum
#

cos 🍌 is roughly 1 - 0.5🍌 ² [for almost eaten banana]

alpine sable
#

Oh small numbers

alpine sable
#

It's second order Taylor series

#

Approximation

pale kestrel
#

yh u can substitute stuff

alpine sable
#

If that sounds familiar

pale kestrel
#

as long as the stuff you substitute is also small

#

for example 1/x for massive x is an ok sub

bleak ridge
#

Does wolfram support emojis?

pale kestrel
#

sin(1/x) is roughly 1/x for large x

little drum
#

tan (@ shuri) ~ shuri [for small shuri? 👀]

pale kestrel
#

no

sterile vale
#

oh my god i was already sad about greek alphabet but now youre giving me fruits wtf

#

what is derivative of fruit

alpine sable
#

It's a number

little drum
#

derivative of a fruit is obviously an apple cake

bleak ridge
#

,w simplify cos(2🍊)

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

or a banana milk shake

bleak ridge
little drum
#

or an orange juice

#

UwU

sterile vale
#

🌝

#

ok wait i still havent found

alpine sable
#

Lol small fruit=neglebily small number

sterile vale
#

how my teacher did it

#

ok so

little drum
#

.close

sterile vale
#

NO

little drum
#

lol

sterile vale
#

:)

#

and

little drum
#

Yes. the same thing I said uwucat

alpine sable
#

Ya

sterile vale
#

yea exactly

pale kestrel
#

sin(1/x) is roughly 1/x for large x

sterile vale
#

i believe u !!! i do i do

pale kestrel
#

You understand this yes?

sterile vale
#

large x?

#

🥴

pale kestrel
#

Yes. Why?

#

you cant just no brain substitute anything

#

sin(ln x) is roughly ln x for x close to 1

#

sin 🍎 is roughy 🍎
for small apples

#

This wasnt a complete joke

sterile vale
#

sin 🍎 is roughy nothing

pale kestrel
#

whatever you substitute and use that approximation on has to be small

#

sin f(x) is roughly f(x) only when f(x) is small

sterile vale
#

yes i understand this

alpine sable
pale kestrel
#

sin(1/x) is roughly 1/x for large x

alpine sable
#

Oh yeah

#

When x is large

#

Apple will be small

little drum
#

For large apples, the reciprocal of the apple would be small

sterile vale
#

🤝

#

no, I get it

#

thanks

little drum
sterile vale
#

I also realise not once have we ever used 1- cos^2(x)

#

in my exercise sheets

little drum
#

ahahaha

#

but nice thing you realized how to approx it

sterile vale
#

always broken into the identity

little drum
#

(1 + cos x) approximates to 2

sterile vale
#

(1-cos(x)(1+cos(x)

little drum
#

(1 - cos x) approximates to x²/2

sterile vale
#

i will use this on test and my teacher will be like wtf how u know and i will go mm Ansh from discord

#

for real though thank you a lot

#

it does help with visualizing to see the taylor series

y = ln(2x - 1)

lone heartBOT
potent vessel
#

y prime = 2/x * (2x-1)

#

whats wrong here

gray isle
#

how are you getting
$$\frac2x \cdot (2x-1)$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
#

derivative of ln(x) = 1/x and the derivative inside the bracket is 2

#

then we multiply them together

#

1/x * 2 = 2/x

#

then we just multiply the y function by that ^

#

hence we get 2/x * (2x -1)

#

@gray isle^

gray isle
#

ugh...

#

that's a huge misrepresentation of chain rule

potent vessel
#

oh no :l

#

worked for me everytime up until now

gray isle
#

i doubt it

#

maybe you applied it properly in all your other attempts and then did something else completely different here

potent vessel
#

ye that might be the case

gray isle
#

if you are struggling to do this within a single step then consider first doing a substitution
$$u = 2x - 1$$
and then apply the chain rule
$$\dv{y}{x} = \dv{y}{u}\dv{u}{x}$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
#

hmm

potent vessel
#

im still confused on what I did wrong in my first answer.

#

i dont want to be doing the long method everytime because its time consuming

gray isle
#

how are you getting 3/3x-1

potent vessel
#

oh my bad i mean 2/2x-1

gray isle
#

don't take shortcuts if you can't reliably do them

potent vessel
#

well it seems to be pretty reliable apart from this question

gray isle
#

because you're actually doing something like
$$\br{\dv{x} \ln(x)} \cdot \br{\dv{x}(2x-1)} \cdot y$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
#

ye i thought that was what you are supposed to do

gray isle
#

no its not

#

hence why i made you go through the long way

#

also missing parentheses

#

2/(2x-1)

potent vessel
#

does that really matter?

gray isle
#

to communicate clearly in text, yes

#

its very important

potent vessel
gray isle
#

you can use the leibniz chain rule above

#

alternatively
$$h(x) = f(g(x))$$
$$h'(x) = f'(g(x))g'(x)$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
#

is that like a better method or something?

little drum
gray isle
#

its different notation for the same thing

#

instead of applying the rule properly you did
$$h'(x) \wthonk f'(x)g'(x)f(x)$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

little drum
#

omg \wthonk works (big sad) :c

gray isle
#

custom command

potent vessel
potent vessel
little drum
#

So that we can compare the method

potent vessel
#

sure

little drum
#

$$\dv{[(x^4 - 1)^8]}{x}$$ and $$\dv{[\ln(2x-1)]}{x}$$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

what's the first step for the first derivative?

#

expanding using binomial expansion hell no (lol) uwucat

potent vessel
#

first i would get the derivative of the outer function which would be 8(x^4 - 1)^7

little drum
#

get the derivative of the outer function with respect to what?

#

x? x + 1? y - 1? z + 2? r + 3?

#

what?

potent vessel
#

y in this case right? y = (x^4 - 1)^8

gray isle
#

no

potent vessel
#

oh sorry i dont know the way to communicate it

#

i just know the outer function

#

this one ( cool stuff in here )^8

little drum
#

Do you realize $$\dv{[(x^4 - 1)^8]}{[(x^4 - 1)^8]} = 1$$?

ocean sealBOT
gray isle
#

in case it isn't clear what's being asked
$$\dv{\text{(what)}} (x^4-1)^8 = 8(x^4 - 1)^7$$

little drum
#

[if yes, then yeah you're correct]

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
#

not necessary just yet tho so we dont care about it

little drum
#

...

potent vessel
#

well we can make it equal to z or something idk

little drum
#

it is necessary, or you won't be doing chain rule right now

potent vessel
#

? not sure what you mean

little drum
#

when doing the derivative for the first one, what's your first step?

#

first i would get the derivative of the outer function which would be 8(x^4 - 1)^7

#

the derivative of the outer function with respect to what?

potent vessel
#

i dont know what you would call it ... (x)^8 ?

little drum
#

$$\dv{\text{(what?)}} (x^4-1)^8 = 8(x^4 - 1)^7$$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

the inner function nozoomi

potent vessel
#

outer

little drum
#

nope

potent vessel
#

🙂

little drum
#

which you differentiate in the second step

potent vessel
#

inner

pale kestrel
#

$$\dv{(e^{x^2})}{(x^2)} = e^{x^2}$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

Do you understand this or not

#

if you havent done exponential functions ill pick another example

#

but this is key to understanding the chain rule

potent vessel
#

idk bro i just get mixed up with the notation

gray isle
#

there are multiple ways to go about it

potent vessel
#

say we have y = (5x + 1)^5

#

how do i show that I want to differentiate the outer one

#

isnt it basically y = (x)^5

#

how do i show this?

pale kestrel
#

$$\dv{(x^2)}{(x)} = 2x$$

potent vessel
#

idk

gray isle
#

you could consider that you have a power function

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

You understand this yes?

gray isle
#

and the first component would be the derivative of that evaluated at your inner function

potent vessel
#

can we have 1 at a time pls

pale kestrel
#

I will tell you now, you can substitute any function for x, as long as you substitute it everywhere

#

$$\dv{((\sin x)^2)}{(\sin x)} = 2\sin x$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

the bottom, d sin x

#

tells you want you are differentiating with respect to

#

Usually, you would Let u = sin x

#

Or similar to write this out nicer

#

$$\dv{(u^2)}{u} = 2u$$

#

but exactly the same thing is being conveyed

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

potent vessel
#

wait chill

gray isle
#

i.e. you could consider that \
$f(x) = x^8$ \
$f'(x) = 8x^7$ \
$f'(x^4-1) = 8(x^4-1)^7$ \
(which isn't the same as $(f(x^4-1))'$)

potent vessel
#

🤔

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

gray isle
#

that would be the first component

#

and the second component would be the derivative of the inner function,
i.e derivative of the x^4 - 1

potent vessel
#

ok would this make sense
y = (x^3 + 1)^5
d(x)^5/d(x) = 5(x)^4

pale kestrel
#

What you have written isnt wrong

potent vessel
#

letss GOO

pale kestrel
#

but i wouldnt advise using x multiple times to mean different things

potent vessel
#

LETTSS GOO

#

it makes sense

#

letss goo

#

thats what I mean when I say outer function

#

btw

pale kestrel
#

we dont understand this though

gray isle
#

its alright in lagrange form, but not great in leibniz form

pale kestrel
#

its unclear in words

potent vessel
#

for example if we have sin(cos(x))

#

the outer function is sin(x)

#

how does that not make sense tho?

pale kestrel
#

why not write what you mean symbolically?

#

so there is no room for confusion

potent vessel
#

because i forget it the next day

#

this symbolism stuff is so weird

gray isle
#

i see what you're considering

#

i've typed that up above

potent vessel
pale kestrel
#

$$\dv{((\sin x)^2)}{(\sin x)} = 2\sin x$$
$$\dv{(\sin x)}{x}\dv{((\sin x)^2)}{(\sin x)} = \dv{(\sin x)}{x}2\sin x$$
$$\dv{((\sin x)^2)}{x} = \dv{(\sin x)}{x}2\sin x$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

To get from the 2nd to 3rd line, the chain rule is applied

pale kestrel
potent vessel
#

wanna

#

try with another

pale kestrel
#

y = ln(2x - 1)

potent vessel
#

^^

#

d(ln(2x-1)) / d(ln) is this notation valid so far?

gray isle
#

no

potent vessel
#

im gonna break my face of my screen

little drum
#

LMAO

#

okay okay hol' up

potent vessel
#

ok did i fail to include the -1?

#

if you say no im gonna lose it

gray isle
#

you're not differentiating wrt something valid

little drum
potent vessel
#

sick of this respect stuff ...

little drum
#

so for example, the standard derivative involving the function $\ln x$ is: $$\dv{(\ln x)}{x} = \frac{1}{x}$$

potent vessel
#

ye that makes sense

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

YES

little drum
potent vessel
#

look tho

little drum
#

yes

potent vessel
#

this makes sense too

#

so we have good sense

little drum
#

$$\dv{(x^2)}{x} = 2x$$ so yeah, that makes sense too!!

potent vessel
#

true

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

now, the question is

potent vessel
#

ok i see

#

okay

#

i see

little drum
#

$\dv{(\ln(2x - 1))}{(\text{for what f(x)?})} =$ a standard derivative

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

SCREAMS

gray isle
#

did you understand the process when using substitution and leibniz notation that i initially suggested?

little drum
potent vessel
#

ok

potent vessel
#

😦

little drum
# little drum

the standard derivative. involving ln x, is only this one

gray isle
#

its a simple yes/no question that requires minimal effort

potent vessel
gray isle
#

but you supposedly reached the correct answer applying that.

little drum
#

maybe I'll write it out and it'll ring a bell

gray isle
#

the same ideas are being applied here

little drum
#

doggie sense can sometimes fail ig

#

Here :

#

consider the inner function (2x - 1)

#

now, the derivative of ln (2x - 1)

#

with respect to (2x - 1)

#

is a standard derivative

potent vessel
#

cool

little drum
#

$\dv{(ln(2x - 1))}{(2x - 1)} =$ a standard derivative

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

can you tell what it is?

#

3, 2, 1...

#

Just substitute y = 2x - 1

#

and you have: $$\dv{(\ln y)}{y} = \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{2x-1}$$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

now, back to the initial question

potent vessel
#

i see what you did

#

i just dont like how it looks

#

simple

little drum
#

how da heck did and with respect to what did you differentiate $(x^4 - 1)^8$ to get $32x^3(x^4 - 1)^7$

ocean sealBOT
potent vessel
#

ok chillll ansh

little drum
#

clearly, you considered the inner function to be $y = x^4 - 1$

ocean sealBOT
potent vessel
#

true

little drum
#

and you had a simple standard derivative

#

$\dv{y^8}{y} = 8y^7$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

and you mixed in another set of stuff, and got the answer

#

But that'll have to wait

little drum
potent vessel
#

ye because I understand the process I'm just unfamiliar with way you set this stuff out it flies out of my head

pale kestrel
#

Does your teacher use the fractional form for derivative. or f'(x)

potent vessel
#

depends on the day

little drum
#

perfect

pale kestrel
#

really?

little drum
#

anyways

potent vessel
#

lol

little drum
#

so

potent vessel
#

not literally

#

@pale kestrel it doesnt literally depend on the day

pale kestrel
#

Fractional form is probably better for understanding. The f'(x) is shorthand

little drum
#

$\dv{[(x^4 - 1)^8]}{x} = \dv{[(x^4 - 1)^8]}{[x^4 - 1]} \cdot \dv{[x^4 - 1]}{x}$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

Do we agree that this is indeed what you did to get the answer for the first one?

potent vessel
#

of course we agree

little drum
#

perfect

#

now

pale kestrel
#

^ it is easier to see how the chain rule makes these things behave like fractions
The d(x^4-1) 'cancel'

little drum
#

AS for the second one

#

$\dv{[\ln(2x - 1)]}{x} = \dv{[\ln(2x-1)]}{(2x-1)} \cdot \dv{(2x-1)}{x}$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

Do you not understand this?

potent vessel
#

yup

little drum
#

wha-

#

you do or you do not understand thinkies

potent vessel
#

you get d(ln(2x-1)) / dx

little drum
#

if you do the RHS? yes

potent vessel
#

ye and then they are both equal

little drum
#

Let y = (2x - 1)

#

then your derivative is simply

#

$\dv{[\ln(2x - 1)]}{x} = \dv{[\ln y]}{y} \cdot \dv{(2x-1)}{x}$

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

can you follow from here?

#

also, do you understand the gist of chain rule?

potent vessel
#

yes as I said its just getting used to the layout

little drum
#

perfect!

#

Also

#

the "with respect to" is seriously seriously VIP stuff

potent vessel
#

i hate that

little drum
#

so make sure you kinda keep that thing in the back of your head

#

lol

pale kestrel
#

$$\dv{A}{B}$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

This in english is read as

#

The derivative of A with respect to B

potent vessel
#

d's cancel out

pale kestrel
#

that is all.

potent vessel
#

jk jk

little drum
#

or one day you'll be integrating $$\int \sqrt{x^3 + x^2 - \tan^{-1} x + \sqrt{x + x^2}} \cdot \dd y$$

pale kestrel
#

(you wouldnt btw)

potent vessel
#

funnily enough integrating looks and is much better

pale kestrel
#

(i wouldnt)

ocean sealBOT
little drum
#

and be totally lost about what da actually heck is goin on

gray isle
#

in terms of what you're supposedly more familiar with

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

potent vessel
gray isle
#

dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx

#

pretty much the same thing these peeps went through

potent vessel
#

great

as opposed to lagrange notation that uses

Definition of ln function

what is there not to get

#

$e^{\ln x} = \ln (e^x) = x$

#

by definition

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

wet spindle
#

idk what ln is

#

this is what I mean

#

I'm talking about the log law @pale kestrel

tacit arch
#

a log(c^x) = log(c^(ax))

#

There are many properties of logarithms. You should learn them all

#

Not just "the" log law

pale kestrel
#

ln is log base e

tacit arch
pale kestrel
#

$a^{\log_a x} = \log_a (a^x) = x$

wet spindle
#

ahhh wait

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

wet spindle

I was right

#

yeah

by definition?

wet spindle

is this correct?

#

,rotate

pale kestrel
#

wth did you write on that last line

#

why is there an equals up there

wet spindle
#

oh that's not possible?

pale kestrel
#

what kind of maths have you seen that has equals signs in the exponent

#

what does it even mean for starters???

wet spindle

#

$3^{x = 2} = 9$

assignment in programming

wet spindle
pale kestrel
#

What do you mean how

#

This is literally how log is defined

#

i swear we went through this a month ago or was it someone else...

#

The log function reverses exponentiation

#

It is the inverse

#

$a^{\log_a x} = \log_a (a^x) = x$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

wet spindle
#

I've been learning this less than a week ago

pale kestrel
#

If you like, define
$$\exp_a(x) := a^x$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

We can define this notation instead and write

#

$\exp_a(\log_a x)= \log_a (\exp_a x) = x$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

Then we have that these 2 functions invert one another

#

But this should be the first rule of logs you learn, because it is the definition

#

The rest of the laws you see follow from this definition

#

And can be proven

wet spindle
#

alright

little drum
pale kestrel
#

#

idk

little drum
#

T_T yes

pale kestrel

wait did you assign it already

#

man just stop smh

3^(a = 2) = 9; a = 2
3^(a == 2) = 3^1 = 3 blobsweat

#

#

assign and return the assigned value D:

it doesnt, it returns an error

alright I'm stuck there, what should I do?

can't make $9=3(x-y)$ can't you?

ocean sealBOT

hyperlix26

pale kestrel
#

your 2nd line is wrong

#

how did you get from line 1 to line 2

wet spindle
#

7-2 and 11-2?

#

and since the bases are all the same they just cancel right?

pale kestrel
#

?????

#

what did you do here

#

what law or rule did you use

wet spindle
pale kestrel
#

Then you applied log laws incorrectly

#

$$\frac{\sin x}{\sin y} \neq \frac xy$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

$$\frac{\sin x}{\sin y} \neq \sin\left(\frac xy\right)$$

ocean sealBOT
#

Shuri2060

pale kestrel
#

This is true clearly yes?

#

This is also true in general for anything

#

unless there is a law that tells you can do it

wet spindle
#

assuming it's the same with logs, yes

pale kestrel
#

its true for almost all functions

#

unless there is some property you can use

wet spindle
#

so I shouldn't have gotten rid of the logs?

#

wouldn't it be harder for me to solve it?

pale kestrel
#

Your first line is wrong

#

i gtg maybe someone else can help

You might calculate the partial derivative of (x^n/2+y^n/2-((x+y)/2)^n) and find for which (x,y) they are both 0

#

Then matrix of second partial derivative at them ( at (a,a))also

raven rivet

not my level

sorry

I thought it was from analysis or something…nvm…

rapid zinc
#

Someone please help me get the answers to these 2 as fast as possible please my grade depends on it

lone heartBOT
#

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

rapid zinc
#

I did the Other 3 but these two are not making sense

bleak ridge
#

Is it for a test

rapid zinc
#

no just a homework assignment

#

But I just don't know how to do these

bleak ridge
#

And your grade depends on it?

#

Or do you mean the concepts

rapid zinc
#

Well sorta cause I didn't do it on time

#

I was supposed to turn it in at 4

#

X_X

bleak ridge
#

Do you know how to rewrite some of the stuff in the first one?

rapid zinc
#

I don't know how that's why I'm stuck on that one

#

And for the 2nd one

#

I'm just plain confused

bleak ridge
#

Do you know what a negative power represents

rapid zinc
#

something with the denominator side being like 1 or something right?

#

I'm wrong

bleak ridge
#

It basically means the thing you're powering is on the denominator

#

So like

rapid zinc
#

I tried it in a calculator app just to see what the work for it would look like

bleak ridge
#

$x^{-2}=\frac{1}{x^2}$

ocean sealBOT
#

PapaBread

rapid zinc
#

ended up that it needed a subscription so I said screw it

bleak ridge
#

LOL

rapid zinc
#

I didn't get it

bleak ridge
#

Yeah most of those websites are mild scams

rapid zinc
#

I guess that came the wrong way

#

This is what it gave me

#

But not in the answers

bleak ridge
#

Wolfram is good at getting the answer but isn't good at showing steps without a subscription

#

It also prob doesn't show the right form as you would get working it out by hand

knotty spire
#

Not too bad of a website

rapid zinc
#

I did try that

#

It sort of did the same thing

#

I don't know which answer on my multiple choice it would be tho that's the thing

#

I have around another 30 minutes until I loose another 20 points 💀

bleak ridge
#

Once you get more practice generally how to solve them it'll probably be a lot easier to interpret it

rapid zinc
#

@bleak ridge Do you know which answer it would be based on the wolfram answer?

knotty spire
#

What do you think

bleak ridge
#

I mean I'd be more inclined to help you doing the work

#

Because then you can help yourself whenever you want

knotty spire
#

for reference

rapid zinc
#

I actually don't know which

#

But I would guess it would be 1-4

knotty spire
#

And we get this derivative

rapid zinc
#

Cause of the -32

knotty spire
#

Assuming the test wants you to find the derivative of the whole expression

#

and for some reason hates parentheses

rapid zinc
#

Yes yes he does

knotty spire
#

now, you should also know what $x^{-a}$ means, right

bleak ridge
ocean sealBOT
#

Remavas

rapid zinc
#

So is the answer for it the 1st or 3rd one

#

or am I completely off

knotty spire
#

the 2 cannot be in the derivative

#

because $\frac{d}{dx} 2 = 0$

ocean sealBOT
#

Remavas

knotty spire
rapid zinc
#

Oh so it's 2 or 4

knotty spire
#

and you'll notice something

rapid zinc
#

It's 4

#

@knotty spireRight?

#

The 4th option?

knotty spire
#

yes

rapid zinc
#

Oh okay thanks so would that same thing work for the second one tho?

bleak ridge
#

It won't work on the test bleakcat

rapid zinc
#

Homework Assignment not test

bleak ridge
#

Well yes but the homework is practice for the test

rapid zinc
#

But homeworkd and tests are both 20% of grade

#

so both are important nonetheless lol

#

I hate this

bleak ridge
#

Do you know your derivative rules?

#

Or have a list or smthn

rapid zinc
#

uh no

#

only saw his slides in class

#

and I didn't have my notebook

#

Completely my fault yes

bleak ridge
#

Like he didn't tell you that uhh

#

$\frac{d}{dx} ax = a$

ocean sealBOT
#

PapaBread

bleak ridge
#

Or anything like that

rapid zinc
#

probably lol

#

I'm sorta not a quick learner

bleak ridge
#

Hmm

#

I would think that hed give at least a list

#

I guess not though

#

It's weird that he's teaching up to like product rule in one class

#

Unless I'm mistaken

knotty spire
#

This would require the product and chain rule, I don't see any way around it

i was trying to get it down to the form of b sin^2 x = c

then solve for x and get the possible values for x

how am I supposed to take the length of a function?

warm mortar
#

Can someone help me work through this? I dont even know where to start with this equation?
-31=3(y-5)-7y
All I know is that you have to do the same thing to one side to the other side to get rid of Y

warm mortar
#

says to simplify the answer as much as possible

#

so we divide both sides by -7y?

formal notch
#

first distribute the 3 in 3(y-5)

#

so .. -31 = 3y-15-7y

warm mortar
#

so we multiply it to make it 3y-15?

#

oh okay

#

and then you divide 3y from 7y to get rid of the variable?

frosty eagle
#

hi

#

have a question

#

does

warm mortar
#

like idk when to stop simplying the euqation

#

like when do we know its at its simplest form>

formal notch
#

so what I would do is the following : 1st... -3y -31=-15-7y

frosty eagle
#

f(x,y,z) = 4x^2 -y^4 + x^4 + z^5

#

fx= 8x-0 +4x^3 +0

#

and

formal notch
#

2nd: -3y + 7y = -15+31

warm mortar
#

okay so we write it out and then move the numbers with variables over to one side to isolate them

frosty eagle
#

wait can I do it

#

pls

formal notch
#

therefore... 4y = 16

warm mortar
#

and then divide them both by -3y?

formal notch
#

divide four on both sides

frosty eagle
#

fy= 0-4y^3 +0 +0

#

which is

formal notch
#

y=4

frosty eagle
#

4y^3

formal notch
#

dude katsu hold up

warm mortar
#

where did we get the 4 from?

#

from the -3 and 7?

frosty eagle
#

oopsies

formal notch
#

-3y+7y = 4y

frosty eagle
#

-4y^3

#

isnt that correct

#

fy=-4y^3

formal notch
#

dude wait a second

frosty eagle
#

sure

warm mortar
#

oh i see so -3 and 7 make 4 so its 4y= -15+31 then it makes 16 so the simplest form is 4y=16?

frosty eagle
#

fz= 0-0+0+5z^4

#

which equals

#

5z^4

warm mortar
#

what?

frosty eagle
#

cuz u treat the rest as a constant

#

if it was fz

warm mortar
#

where did fz come from

frosty eagle
#

you treat fy and fx as a constant

warm mortar
#

your confusing me

frosty eagle
#

f(x,y,z)

frosty eagle
#

I said am I correct?

#

f_z=5z^4

#

fy=-4y^3

#

fx= 8x-0 +4x^3 +0

#

which equals 8x+4x^3

formal notch
#

1st : -31=3(y-5)-7y | 2nd : -31 = 3y-15-7y | 3rd: -3y+7y =-15+31 | 4th: 4y=16 | Finally: y=4

#

@warm mortar

#

make sense?

frosty eagle
#

I'm not talking about Frizzzles question @warm mortar

#

I'm talking about if I'm correct

warm mortar
#

so 4y=16 is 4 because 4 goes into 16 4 times?

formal notch
#

yes. basically divide both side by 4.

#

since 4y is multiplied.

frosty eagle
warm mortar

okay awesome, thanks for explaining it to me.
@frosty eagle I don't know what you're talking about, sorry 😦

frosty eagle
#

oh nah its fine

#

I'll tell someone else

#

but unnullifier

formal notch
#

alright katsu i can try and help you now.

frosty eagle
#

Frizzzle am I correct

#

f(x,y,z) = 4x^2 -y^4 + x^4 + z^5

#

fx= 8x-0 +4x^3 +0

#

fy=-4y^3

#

fz=5z^4

formal notch
#

idk tbh

frosty eagle
#

nah its fine lmao

#

what grade u in?

formal notch
#

1st year engineering

#

calc 1

frosty eagle
#

ohhh

#

alright

#

this is calculus 2

#

not sure

#

tho

formal notch
#

oh lmao

#

yeah i wouldn't know then

frosty eagle
#

lemme search up when you learn it

#

one sec

formal notch
#

<@&286206848099549185> f(x,y,z) = 4x^2 -y^4 + x^4 + z^5
fx= 8x-0 +4x^3 +0
fy=-4y^3
fz=5z^4

#

for Katsu

frosty eagle
#

You learn it in like spring or falls

#

undergraduate year

#

not sure tbh

formal notch
#

Im behind in my math. So I'll learn it next semster.

frosty eagle
#

ok

formal notch
#

I started precal. now im in calc

frosty eagle
#

nice

warm mortar
#

@formal notch so for this question, 9=7(v+3)-4v
you make it 9=7(3v)-4v then you divide both sides by 3v? so its 9=7-1.3v?

formal notch
#

@frosty eagle and btw ur supposed to open a new question in the (available section)

frosty eagle
#

k

formal notch
#

i think someone who can help you will see it faster

warm mortar
#

then you make it 9=6.3v?

formal notch
#

No @warm mortar . So your goal is to isolate y. Your first step should be to get all y stuff to one side.

#

therefore.... 1st step would be.... 9=7v+21-4v

#

i mean v my bad

warm mortar
#

so you multiple 7(v+3) to make it 9=7v+21-4v?

formal notch
#

yup

#

and then you can go ahead and move the 21 to the other side

warm mortar
#

so then it's divided both sides by 21?

#

so its 7v divided by 21 and 4v divided by 21?

#

idk why im locked on dividing

formal notch
#

No. So I think you are confused on when to divide

warm mortar
#

yeah

#

so we combine like terms? we do 7v-4v which is 3v?

#

which makes it 9=3v+21?

formal notch
#

Let me explain. You do the opposite when moving a number to other side right. For example when you have 9=7v+21-4v. How do you move the 21 to the other side?

#

you do the opposite of its sign... (-21)

warm mortar
#

so we add 21?

#

oh minus

formal notch
#

you subtract 21 from both sides

warm mortar
#

subtract 21 from both sides

formal notch
#

which gives you -12

warm mortar
#

so u subtract 21 from itself and the 9?

formal notch
#

exactly

warm mortar
#

so then its -12=3v?

formal notch
#

dont leave your -4v

#

its still there....

warm mortar
#

oh

#

-12=7v-4v?

formal notch
#

yes. and now you see that 7v and -4v both have the same variable (v).

#

and since its on the same side you can go ahead and subtract it like a normal subtraction problem

warm mortar
#

so then it becomes -12=3v

formal notch
#

yes.

#

now notice that 3v is two things being multiplied.

#

3 times v = 3v

#

therefore if you want to move the 3 to the other side you want to DIVIDE.

warm mortar
#

finally the only thing i know that is in this equation lol

#

so you divide 3 by both sides to isolate the v which is -12 divided by 3 and since its a negative and a positive the outcome is negative so v=-4?

formal notch
#

yes.

#

Now let me give you an other example to make sure you understand.

warm mortar
#

okay

formal notch
#

lets say it was -12= (3/2)v

#

how would you isolate the v

warm mortar
#

you would divide 3 and 2 and then divide the outcome on both sides?

formal notch
#

no.

#

(3/2) mean 3 divided by 2

warm mortar
#

divide both sides by 3/2?

formal notch
#

so. what is the opposite of 'dividing by 2'

warm mortar
#

multiply by 2

formal notch
#

yes.

#

both sides

warm mortar
#

so then it would be negative 24=v?

formal notch
#

the 3 is still there

#

we haven't touched it.

#

just the two

warm mortar
#

so we have to do it twice for both of them?

formal notch
#

well. it wouldn't be the same for the 3.

#

after multiplying both side by two you get -24=3v

#

right?

#

make sense

#

?

warm mortar
#

OH so you multiply the 2 and then divie

#

divide

formal notch
#

exactly since 3 is multiplied by v... you divide the 3 on both sides

warm mortar
#

but what if instead of multipling by 2 you multiply by 3 and then have -36=ev?

#

how do you know its the 2 and not 3

formal notch
#

because a when you right 3/2 or x/y or and other number.

#

It is literally says 3 divided by 2.

#

or x divided by y

warm mortar
#

oh yeah, i suppose your right lol

formal notch
#

look at this: -12 = 3/2

#

this is the same at -12/1 = 3/2

warm mortar
#

yeah the 1 is just a placeholder right?

formal notch
#

it is 'invisible'

#

yes

#

what is basically occuring is when you multiply both side by two you are doing this.(2/1)* -12/1 = 3/2 *(2/1)

warm mortar

here, i did another problem by myself on paper, can i send a photo and you check it by any chance?
