bright reef
#

How do I even approach it?

#

I have dealt with finding h(x) where x = a

#

but not sure why i have a function

#

as my x

split oriole
#

use chain rule

raven rover
#

^^

bright reef
#

huhhhh

#

use chain rule where

raven rover
#

You have a composition of functions

#

You’re looking for the derivative of a composed function

bright reef
#

h'(x) or h(5x^4)

#

dy/dx of h'(x) is 1/xln(2) but wouldn't that make it the 2nd derivative?

#

but it's asking for h(5x^4)

glass lichen
#

you want to find $\dv{x}h(5x^4)$

ocean sealBOT
bright reef
#

ohhh so the h itself is a function

#

so we'll get

#

h'(5x^4)*(20x^3)

glass lichen
#

it's said to be a function

#

also no

glass lichen
bright reef
#

there edited

glass lichen
#

recall power rule

bright reef
#

fuck

#

my brain off rn lol

glass lichen
#

and you know what h'(x) is

bright reef
#

there

glass lichen
bright reef
#

h'(5x^4)*(20x^3)
so our answer will be:
log_2 (5x^4) * (20x^3):?

glass lichen
#

yes.

#

A friend gave me the answer for each, but i need the steps to solve each item

#

Answers:
a) 5π/4, 7π/4
b) 4π/4, 10π/4

split oriole
#

this option is not right

alpine sable
split oriole
#

theta should be between 0 to 2pi but 10 pi/4 is not in this range

#

so 10pi/4 is not right

#

for this question

alpine sable
#

Ok, so that was wrong. But how are they solved??

split oriole
#

your friend know about its values or may be he\she has chart of these values

#

first is like find $\theta$ if $\sin(\theta) = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Solution

alpine sable
#

So, -1√2/2...???

#

Wait, before moving on, the values of theta must be between 0 and 6.3, right??

#

I tried sin^-1(√2/2) = -45 = (-1π/4)

#

And then sin(-1π/4) = -0.0137...

#

I gues this is wrong

alpine sable
split oriole
alpine sable
split oriole
#

but you can make it

alpine sable
#

By finding its absolute value...??

split oriole
alpine sable
#

Quads 2 and 3...??

split oriole
#

so just p + pi/4 and 2pi - pi/4 ( i am taking pi and 2pi because sin will not change )
5pi/4 and 7pi/4

alpine sable
#

π + π/4 = 5π/4 like that??

split oriole
#

yesss

alpine sable
alpine sable
split oriole
#

yes you can

alpine sable
#

Yay!

#

Thanks!!

#

Wait

alpine sable
split oriole
alpine sable
#

The same can be applied to the second item??

teal frigate
#

can someone explain why x-x0 gives the vector in green? I thought subtracting a vector just meant going in the opposite direction, so I thought x-x0 would just get you back to the origin, i draw a depiction of this in red and blue

teal frigate
#

the only way i could go close to reconciling this is by drawing x+x0 and then flipping the direction like this

#

but i still dont get the exact vector which is supposedly x-x0 (in green on the original image)

How much would you save in interest (over the life of the loan) on a 15-year mortgage at 2.5% if you reduced the amount you borrowed from $325,000 to $200,000?

brittle abyss
#

Im not to educated on this but would it be like this: (325,000x(1.025)^(15)) - (200,000x(1.025)^(15)) = diffrence

#

money x interest ^ time

exotic dust
#

its not that

how do i solve a second order diff eq that isn't equal to 0? i have the mark scheme, and i got $e^{-x}(A\cos(2x)+B\sin(2x))$ in my solution, but apparently the answer is $e^{-x}(A\cos(2x)+B\sin(2x))+\textbf{10}$

A particular solution is the term used for the any solution which satisfies the actual differential equation.

I'm not sure how much stuff you know about differential equations to guide further guidance.

Are you aware of complementary functions and particular solutions?

how would u answer this

supple tundra
#

my friend

rapid verge
#

hello

supple tundra
#

u just have to add it

rapid verge
#

what so 10/5h?

rapid verge
gray isle
#

how would you simplify something like
$$\frac12 + \frac13$$

ocean sealBOT
#

ℝamonov

supple tundra
rapid verge
#

that would be 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

#

@gray isle

gray isle
#

apply the same idea to your question

rapid verge
#

so find LCD?

#

40/5h + 2/5?

lethal stump
#

ah but lcd of 5 and h isn't 5

#

its 5h

#

just like how lcd of 2 and 3 is 2 * 3 = 6

rapid verge
#

of

#

oh

#

wait so its not 5h?

lethal stump
#

it is 5h

#

but you forgot to change the other fraction

#

the 2/5 one

rapid verge
#

so add a h

lethal stump
#

yea

#

although its more right to say multiply by h/h

rapid verge
#

do u add to numerator and denominator?

#

or just denominator

lethal stump
#

both dawg

#

ur multiplying top and bottom

rapid verge
#

so 40/5h + 2h/5h

lethal stump
#

yea

rapid verge
#

then cant that be 2(20 + h) / 5h

lethal stump
#

yea

#

but like

#

factoring a 2 out isn't really gonna do much

#

its helpful in most instances to factor stuff out

rapid verge
#

so it can be 40 + 2h / 5h aswell

lethal stump
#

yea

rapid verge
#

ok thankyou so much

tepid mauve
#

Can anyone help me to find the inequality that I circled

tepid mauve
#

I already found the equation but the answer key says x+2y<4

#

So do I just move my 2 to the left? Then i move my -x to the left?

#

But where do you get 4? So i also multiply 2 with 2?

balmy warren
#

Multiply everything by 2

#

@tepid mauve

tepid mauve
#

Ohhh okay thanks

#

I also noticed that if i have -x, i always move it to the left, why is that?

Okie

alpine sable
# pure anvil Don't know

I think you should try partial decomposition and then add up the first and last terms.
1/a1an = x/a1 + y/an like this. When you will have a lot of them like
1/a1 + 1/an + 1/a2 + 1/an-1 + ... + 1/an + 1/a1

#

Actually then

#

Nah, decomposition won't be useful if we add lol.

$\frac{1}{a_{1}+a_{n}}(\sum_{1\leq k \leq n}\frac{1}{a_{k}})= \frac{1}{a_{1}+a_{n}}(\sum_{1\leq j \leq \frac{n}{2}}(\frac{1}{a_{j}}+\frac{1}{a_{n-j}})= \sum_{1\leq j \leq \frac{n}{2}}
\frac{1}{a_{j}+a_{n-j}}(\sum_{1\leq j \leq \frac{n}{2}}(\frac{1}{a_{j}}+\frac{1}{a_{n-j})=\ sum_{1\leq j \leq \frac{n}{2}}\frac{1}{a_{j}a_{n-j}}$

misty bobcat
#

how to show isomorphism between these groups ?

marsh rapids
#

Don't think there is one. R is uncountable but Z^2 is, so there can't be a bijection

misty bobcat
#

do you think that is enough to show this ?

marsh rapids
#

By contradiction is quite obvious. If there is one, you have a bijection from R to Z^2. But Z^2 is countable so you have a bijection from Z^2 to N. By composing them, you have a bijection from R to N (or a subset of N or an injection, depending on your definition for countability). However R is not countable, so that can't be.

Assuming that + is the usual addition (i.e. no shenanigans), there shouldn't be any

As the addition for a product group is done component wise

Just to be sure about definitions: a maclaurin series is a taylor series centered around 0 rather than any point right ?

#

Then sometimes Maclaurin is better because the formula is nice, sometimes Taylor is better because because of convergence reasons

#

Maclaurin series are just not as general as taylor series. They're nice for functions like sin, cos and exp, but sometimes they suck. Like if ask you to approximate sqrt(300), well... I let you compare both methods

#

Turns out the Maclaurin series isn't even defined because sqrt has no derivative at 0

#

but the linear approximation at x=289 is really good

#

You can do a series at any point, and locally (assuming it's well defined) it will work well. The problem is "locally", some functions lead to only a radius of convergence, then a taylor series is much better if you can compute some special values

#

you can do it at 0 yes

#

it's very nice at 0 because cos has a nice development at 0

#

how have you defined a taylor series

#

that's not a definition

#

a taylor series is the generalization of the local approximation of a function by its tangent line or parabola

#

a taylor series always has a center. Look at the definition you have. The center is the point where you can guarantee the approximation to be exact

#

the area around the center is the area around which the approximation is going to be the best

#

Here the order 2 approximation of cos and order 1 approximation of ln produces a really good parabola

#

That's not math, that's physics. That's basically saying "I know how it is at that point, but I don't know how it behaves, so I'm just going to assume nothing else happens"

#

that is correct, but the interpretation is based on physics liking t=0

#

the mathematical reason is you have no reason to prefer 0, it depends on the situation

#

t=2.52 and you approximate centered at 0 ? Look at the function dude

#

just approximate at the next root

#

there's no wrong and right. When comparing approximations, there's only better and worse

#

In practice when you want to approximate using Taylor polynomials, we choose the center such that:

  1. It's a convenient point where we already know the value and the formula is nice (otherwise it is not simpler to approximate)
  2. It's close enough to the value we want to approximate, so that we still get a good approximation
marsh rapids
#

approximations is a game of intuition

#

Do you think the information you have at 0 is appliable to what happens at t=2.52 ?

#

intuition

#

The function literally goes to -inf and comes back before reaching t=2.52. What information do you expect to carry over that trip ?

#

how good an approximation does that look ?

#

Doing approximations is like doing physics: it requires intuition

#

it requires an understanding of the function

#

ok can you easily compute an order 2 approximation for the function centered at 2.5 ? Obviously not using anything that would be about as hard or harder as just computing f(2.52)

#

Wdym "do" ?

#

center at 2.52 ?

#

ok what's the first step to center at 2.52 ?

#

I mean what's the first term you need to compute for your function/approximation ?

#

do you understand the point of taylor series ?

#

If you can plug the function into WA you don't need an approximation

#

solve what ?

#

That's precisely why you approximate

#

also in contexts where there is no calculator

#

yes please do, this is clearly trivial

#

Clearly a simple solution to your physics problem. Easy to deduce properties of this function looking at that formula

#

I frankly don't know if this is incompetence, bad faith or a lack of understanding

#

do you see how Taylor series are useful ?

#

avoids that hell of a formula

#

just slap an error term at the end of the approximation, and say "I did the approximations such that it's small enough for our purposes"

marsh rapids
#

you got || normally, where did it go ?

#

another reason to use an approximation I guess

I just have a quick question

lone heartBOT
wet pulsar
#

In my textbook Markov matrices all row elements add to 1

#

And on YouTube a MIT professor is saying all columns add to 1

#

The book is a probability book and the YouTube lecture is a linear algebra video

#

I’m not good with linear algebra do I’m not sure if it even matters which way you do things

gusty gyro
#

As for my knowledge there is differences in schools, some teach to work with columns, some with rows. Just stick to your learnings and don't mix up the relative positions of some operations.
I feel like didnt say anything useful, so wait till somebody helps

@wet pulsar Has your question been resolved?

vital crown
# wet pulsar I’m not good with linear algebra do I’m not sure if it even matters which way yo...

It does not. But you should make it clear what your vectors are. Are your vectors row vectors or column vectors?

If the transition matrix is written $P_{ij}$ from state $i$ to state $j$, where $i$ refers to the row index and $j$ is the column index, then it is clear row elements should sum to 1.

In this case, if columns also sum to $1$ then the matrix satisfies a very special property, but I don't think that is what you are asking about here so it doesn't matter

#

A booklet wants me to differentiate the following.

I got dy/dt = 36t^2.

The booklet however says that the answer is: 72t^2

What did I do wrong?

undone hinge
#

is that $y=1\cdot 18t^2+22\cdot 4$ ?

ocean sealBOT
#

Big xdddd

sinful gorge
#

Yes

undone hinge
#

formular is : $f(x)=x^n\to f'(x)=nx^{n-1}$

ocean sealBOT
#

Big xdddd

undone hinge
#

so if you differentiate that you get 36t

sinful gorge

Oh yeah I forgot that one step.

Regardless I think I solved the problem now. Those dots are actually decimal points instead of multiplication symbols apparently

final thorn
#

whats the correct way to prove a number is equal to another number sorry for the bad phrasing

merry depot
#

is there context for this question?

sleek finch
#

what does the << mean?

merry depot
final thorn
#

i need to show that (1/root(10)) = (1/10)(root(10)) without using a calculator

merry depot
#

So you want to look at rationalizing the denominator

sleek finch
merry depot
#

The idea is to basically multiply your denominator by a factor that turns it from a radical (or a root) into an integer (or fraction). Then multiply that by top and bottom

final thorn
#

so id end up with (1 root(10) / root(100))?

#

please pin me if u answer

The question asks also to find the value it converges to

#

I found the limit, which means I know that the sequence is convergent, I still dont know where it converge to

#

unless it's 0 as well?

isn't that the value it converges to

little drum
#

what exactly did you mean to do when you calculated "limit of a_n as n tends to infinity"?

neat sierra
#

There is a theorem that said if limit exists at infinity then the sequeunce is convergent, if it doesnt exist, then its divergent

#

so i calculated the limit of an as n tends to infinity to see if it converge

#

unless my notes was wrong?

little drum
#

nope.

#

I hope this enlightens you a bit

#

when is a sequence called convergent

-> A sequence is "converging" if its terms approach a specific value as we progress through them to infinity.

neat sierra
#

ohh, i see. So it converge to 0 in this case

little drum
#

Yes it does

ok, I should read the definition lol

#

Just want to make sure I set everything up correctly before I move on

alpine sable
#

1/x tends to 0 as x tends to infinity

#

So e^(1/x) tends to 1

thin urchin
#

Yes so inf - inf

alpine sable
#

Which would leave you with 15x(1) - 15x

thin urchin
#

Apraoching infinity

#

Which would be inf-inf right?

alpine sable
thin urchin
#

Ok so is my setup and evaluation correct?

#

And then I think I have to divide the numerator and denominator by the highest power of x in the denominator

alpine sable
thin urchin
#

Oh I mean I'm sure they will teach us a shortcut eventually but they are teaching us this method first

#

I still have inf- inf in the numerator

alpine sable
#

225x(e^(2/x) - 1)

thin urchin
#

Oh

#

That's 0

alpine sable
#

Yh

#

Idk

thin urchin
#

So 0-inf over inf

#

I think I have to take another derivative right?

alpine sable
#

No clue tbh

Hello

feral bridge
#

Someone was kind enough to help me with a problem, but I lost internet connection.

#

Could someone explain it for me please?

#

I have 2 static numbers. 5 and 10. I want to increase 5 slowly over the course of a week, or any set length of time, to reach 10.

#

So as soon as an event happens we start at exactly 5. Then every second we increase a little towards 10.

#

As we get further in time, it increases the more the number goes up each second.

#

So then on day 7, or any other set time frame. It reaches its cap and stays at 10

of course

so you're trying to show that the complement of A is not in the complement of the powerset of A?

alpine sable

ye

brazen patrol

well

#

you can try to show that the power set is closed under complement

#

after that, it should make sense

alpine sable
#

what do u mean by closed under complement

brazen patrol
#

so

#

if you have A, P(A) being the powerset, then for all B in P(A), show that B-bar is in P(A)

#

B-bar is the complement of B

#

If you can show this, then by definition of complement, A-bar can't be in P(A)-bar

hi so i am studying le control system design and i swerved uni at 18 (now 27 :D) and i have basically forgotten some basic maths concepts which can trip me up

such as here: not sure how setting s=1 and then s=s helps us get to 1=Pb + Ra
and 0=P+R

I know about comparing coefficients for powers of X but super confuseed what the heck happened here 😂

turbid harbor

whhich is funny because i completely understand the next lines about inverse laplace 😂

How fundamental theorem of calculus connects integration and differentiation?

crude birch
#

From what I understand it connects area under the curve and anti-derivative.

The first fundamental theorem says that $\frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t) : dt = f(x)$. That is the link between the definite integral and the derivative.

#

In words, the rate of change of the area under the graph is equal to the height of the graph.

#

The second fundamental theorem says that $\int_a^b f(x) : dx = F(b) - F(a)$, where $F$ is any antiderivative of $f$.

#

In words, the area under the graph is the difference in the value of the antiderivative at the two endpoints.

crude birch
raw fractal
#

That's not what it says. Differentiation of the antiderivative is always the original function. That's the definition of antiderivative. What it says is that the function $\int_a^x f(t) : dt$ is an antiderivative of $f(x)$.

ocean sealBOT
#

PhenomPlasma

crude birch
#

I see. But what about d/dx part?

raw fractal
#

It says the derivative of that given integral is equal to f(x). Which by definition means that the given integral is an antiderivative of f(x).

crude birch
#

Does f(x) is original function?

raw fractal
#

Yes.

crude birch
#

I see. Thank you @raw fractal

#

I deeply appreciate your help 😊

hoary crest
#

is it true that if i multiply two or more functions, the graph of the resulting function is the union of the graphs of the initial functions?

zenith compass
#

It depends how u “multiply”

#

If u set the RHS to be 0, that is kinda obviously true

zenith compass
#

But we usually don’t say multiply function is the union of the functions

#

The condition is to set the RHS to be 0

#

Otherwise the multiplication makes no senses

#

But if you set one side to be 0 and multiply all the nonzero sides and set them equals to 0

#

Then as long as the functions are well-defined, the desired graph is literally the “union” of the function

#

@hoary crest can I answer your question?

hoary crest
#

even if rhs isn't zero, there is some rule about multiplying idk

zenith compass
#

I know

#

But it cannot guarantee the graph is perfectly union

hoary crest

hm, okay!

well that didn't work

#

what's the prefix

#

anyway how do I even go about solving this for x

$$10×2^{x+1}=50$$
Is that your question?

Sakata Yaksha

alpine sable

yes

slender gull
#

Alright so first of all, you could do a lot of things here.

#

First one seems fairly obvious.

#

Simplify without doing anything to that 2^{x+1}

alpine sable
#

I tried doing 2^x+1=5 but idk where to go from there

slender gull
#

Right, have you studied logarithm?

alpine sable
#

yeah a bit

slender gull
#

Take log both sides.

#

And you're done.

alpine sable
#

the book says I should do this without a calculator lol

slender gull
#

Yes, I said take log you don't need a calculator for that.

gray isle
#

you can keep your results in exact log form

slender gull
#

Yeah.

alpine sable
#

the task wants me to compare the values of multiple results

#

I don't understand how I can do that with the log forms

slender gull
#

You still get a decent idea.

alpine sable
#

the numbers are all really close, I guess the task is just bad

thanks tho

warped salmon
#

Hello, I would like to calculate the variance of a random variable but an having trouble extrapolating to a larger time scale.
Say I have a normally distributed variable X with Var[X]=a. X is say the change in value of something after a time delta of dt. I want to determine what the variance of a new random variable Y is that is the change in value after a time delta of 2*dt

warped salmon
#

I thought that this would be as simple as Var[Y] = Var[2X] = sqrt(2)*Var[X] but my model is falling apart. I think it is because I am not manipulating the underlying distributions correctly

#

I am calculating the variance of a lognormally distributed variable

#

This is a simulated stock price

#

doing a walk with geometric brownian motion

#

You can see that I am calculating the returns of the asset at each timestep and calculating the std. I am correcting for the fact that this volatility is observed at a higher fidelity than once every unit timestep by dividing by sqrt(dt).

#

I can tell this is incorrect because I am using the volatility to price some options -> the options should make no money to be fair -> but the options are making money. This means I am overestimating the volatility on my adjusted timeframe

#

The next reasonable adjustment is rather to calculate std(a)/dt but I don't see why I would divide by dt and not sqrt dt given the explanation I have above for my variance.

#

$$ shortreturn^{1/dt} = longreturn $$

ocean sealBOT
warped salmon
#

from nor on short return = sr and long return = lr

#

$$ var[lr] = var[sr^{1/dt}] = var[exp(ln(sr)/dt] $$ from wikipedia

floral quail
#

Okay, so given that µ = 23.26 and σ = 4.10, find the probability out of 10 samples, that at least 4 of them have a mass greater than 25kg.

floral quail
#

I tried solving this by calculating the probability of them being over 25kg via a Normal Distribution

#

M~N(23.26, 4.10) then** P(M>25) = 1 - P(M<25) = 0.3352**

#

So if **0.3352 **is my calculated probability of them being over 25kg

#

I can now use a Binomial Distribution to calculate the probability of at least 4 of them

#

**Y~B(10, 0.3352) **where P(Y>=4) = 1-P(Y<=3)

#

I got **0.5541 **but the answer is 0.4469

#

Could anyone see where i've gone wrong?

noble sinew
#

Its 0.33564… not 0.3352

#

And it gives 0.4470… as final

floral quail
#

Eh......?

#

one sec

#

alr i redid it and I got precisely 0.552962702004

#

23.26 and 4.1 are just from the mark scheme which differed slightly from mine since i didnt round earlier

noble sinew
noble sinew
floral quail
#

Okay ive got 0.335640617297 on my calculator now

#

So that's ^ the probability of getting over 25kg

#

oh shoot

so when finding the IOC

and taking the ratio test of a complex series that isn't just Ar^n

if the ratio test goes to 0

#

the radius of convergence is infinite right?

if the ratio converges to a finite number then I put the part with X between -1 < x < 1 and test endpoints

#

but what happens if it diverges

fierce prairie
#

A major appliance store is considering purchasing vacuums from a small manufacturer. The store would be able to purchase the vacuums for $86 each, with a delivery fee of $9,200, regardless of how many vacuums are sold. If the store needs to start seeing a profit after 230 units are sold, how much should they charge for the vacuums?

fierce prairie
#

I've thought of one equation: y = 86x + 9200 where x is the number of vacuums they buy and y is total cost

#

but idk how to incorporate the profit after 230 units sold

winged rock
#

Its not a profit of 230

#

You want to know how much to sell 230 vacuums for to match the total expenses

fierce prairie
#

yeah typo

winged rock
#

So

#

230 * cost = 86*230 + 9200

fierce prairie
#

hm okay that actually makes sense but

#

the question asks to set up an augmented matrix

so like whaa..

alpine sable
#

can anyone help me on 7

lone heartBOT
alpine sable
#

so like I dont know how to find tangeant

#

and dont know how to start

sudden hinge
#

,rotate

ocean sealBOT
sudden hinge
#

Hey

#

Do you know the double angle formulas?

alpine sable
#

yes

#

i have them with me

#

but i dont know how to use it

sudden hinge
#

or are you allowed to solve this using the inverse trig functions

#

probably not right

alpine sable
#

we can solve it in any way

#

teacher said as long as work is shown

#

i have formula for it

#

but i dont know how to start

sudden hinge
#

can you show the formula

alpine sable
#

yes

#

,rotate

#

,rotate

ocean sealBOT
sudden hinge
#

so let's start by using the last formula for tan(2x)

alpine sable
#

ok

sudden hinge
#

so we need to find tan(theta) now, right

#

to plug into the formula

alpine sable
#

i think

sudden hinge
#

we have the value for cos(theta)

#

the pythagorean identity, which is sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1, gives us a way to find sin(theta)

#

tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta)

alpine sable
#

i have sin

#

i made a triangle

#

and i got it

sudden hinge
#

oh then you can already calculate tan(theta)

alpine sable
#

cos is adj/hyp and sin is opp/hyp so it should be 3/5

sudden hinge
#

that looks correct

alpine sable
#

ya but idk what to do next

sudden hinge
#

tan(theta) = sin(theta) / cos(theta)

#

plug the values in there for sin(theta) and cos(theta)

#

you should get a nice fraction

#

$\tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{-4}$

alpine sable
#

why do we multiply it

ocean sealBOT
sudden hinge
#

I just took the reciprocal of cos theta

alpine sable
#

how come it is 5/-4

#

i thought the 5 on bottom

sudden hinge
#

yes thats correct

#

but we have sin(theta) / cos(theta) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = (3/5) * 5/(-4)

alpine sable
#

oh so we flip to multiply

sudden hinge
#

exactly

#

fractions inside of fractions usually dont look good

#

now you can simplify the expression

alpine sable
#

15/20 is what i should get right

#

15/-20

sudden hinge
#

the 5's cancel

alpine sable
#

oh so just 3/-4

sudden hinge
#

yep

alpine sable
#

and i am done?

sudden hinge
#

now tan(theta) = -3/4

#

we need tan(2theta) remember

alpine sable
#

oh ya

#

right right

sudden hinge
#

so the last formula

#

of your sheet

#

tan(2x) = ...

#

$\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2 \tan(\theta)}{1 - \tan^2(\theta)}$

ocean sealBOT
alpine sable
#

so the top will be 6/-4?

sudden hinge
#

or -3/2

alpine sable
#

and the bottom will be 9/-16 right

#

16/16 - 9/-16

sudden hinge
#

so 25/16

#

nah wait

alpine sable
#

did i do it wrong

sudden hinge
#

tan^2(theta) = (-3/4)^2 = 9/16

#

so the bottom will be 1 - 9/16

alpine sable
#

why is it not negative

sudden hinge
#

because we square it

#

squaring gets rid of the negative sign

alpine sable
#

oh

sudden hinge
#

like (-2)^2 = 4 not -4

alpine sable
#

oh ok

sudden hinge
#

16/16 - 9/16 = ?

alpine sable
#

7/16

sudden hinge
#

so your top will be -3/2

#

and bottom will be 7/16

alpine sable
#

we multiply again right

sudden hinge
#

yes

#

(-3/2) * (16/7)

alpine sable
#

14/-48

sudden hinge
#

now simplify the fraction and you're done

alpine sable
#

7/-24

#

thank you

#

on the paper it says i should have got 24/7

#

what part was wrong

sudden hinge
#

hmm

alpine sable
#

oh wait i did it wrong

#

instead of 16/7 i put 7/16

#

ya that was it

#

thank u
