this is an equation in k that you are trying to solve for k
Yes
now that you have rewritten it so that the left-hand side is factored, and the right-hand side is still 0 as it was,
are you able to solve this equation?
Not actually
have you solved quadratic equations by factoring before?
it sounds like you're either forgetting something or putting up a mental roadblock in front of yourself
Kind of
if you were given the equation (x-11)(x+4) = 0, would you be able to solve it for x?
I remember solving this question. Here, we open the bracket and it goes like
x-11=0, x+4=0
x=11, x=-4
no
why add a +1 where it doesn't belong?
it's not (4k+1)(k-6) = 0, it's 4k(k-6) = 0
(4k)(k-6) = 0, if you are scared of the lack of parentheses where you're used to seeing them.
But during the question, if there is no number we add 1? Isn't it?
if you memorized the rule "if there is no number we add 1" with the intention of applying it mindlessly without thinking about what it means then i am very sorry for you
if you are looking at a term in an expression, and wish to find its coefficient, and no coefficient is written, THEN that means the coefficient is 1.
but phrasing this as "insert +1 wherever i please" is many levels of wrong.
Oh, I apologise
don't
you have done nothing wrong and you have been apologizing too much in conversations with me
90% of it for things that didn't warrant an apology
yes, let's keep going.
when i prompted you with a different quadratic equation in factored form, you were able to set each factor to zero separately and obtain the two solutions this way.
do the same now.
4k = 0, k - 6 = 0
k = 0/4, k = 6
Is this okay? Because 4 is in multiplying, there it will be divided
sure, but why write 0/4 and not 0?
Oh yes, we can write 0 too because 4 can divide 0
0 divided by anything (other than itself, obviously) is 0.
So, k = 0, k = 6
yes, and there you have your answer.
if you have anything left to ask about this problem, then ask it now. otherwise, close this channel and post any new problem(s) in a new channel
Thanks
Um, no, I have no question. Thanks a lot for helping me out miss.

i need help doing equations of lines
Post your q
for question c
i am quite confused
i ended up with -3/1
and i dont know whether
that means the answer is c

aight so ye
You do ye
so how do i procceed XD
wait is this the ans?
so do we apply same principles in 16
(3^5)^2/5
So that’s why it’s 3^4
oh so 1 x 4 = 4
For this you do 5 x 2/5
what about 16?
Ye
and then for (2^5)^-3/5
so 2^-3
Ye
17 i frl dont know
For 16 243^2/5 is just 9
what ques this 16?
is this ans?
No there is still more 1 sec
aight so?
aight so what did you do exactly
For 16 I just did it the same as the first 2 but ignored the 9 until the end, for 17 I expanded the brackets by multiplying the powers just like we did before and then put it as 1 thing rather than 3 if that makes sense, then I just got for example the s from top and - it from the s on the bottom so s^2 / s^4 which is s^-2 and the same thing for the other letters
i am an idiot i just realised
ive been overcomplicating stuff
i thought we had to apply the indices law bs
it technically is
but we basically ignore the base number for the majority
@languid river can you help me when your done
of the entire thing
Ah ok
If I can do it ye
@cerulean vine Has your question been resolved?
you don't need a calculator to solve 17
243 is 3^5
32 is 2^5
and 4 is 2^2
now you have $$\frac{(3^5)^{\frac{2}{5}}\cdot(2^5)^{-\frac{3}{5}}}{(2^2)^{-\frac{5}{2}}}$$

i want to get the odds % of like 2 percentages
like i have a thing where its 25% actual odds, and the practical test i did showed 20%, how do i show the difference as a fraction or percentage?
like 25% and 25% would be 1/1 or 100%

what should you do to x to get 1/x?
hmm
take reciprocal
What context is it in?
I have the value of $x_1+x_2+x_3$ which is 4
hyperlix26
but they ask for the value of $\frac{1}{x_1}+\frac{1}{x_2}+\frac{1}{x_3}$
hyperlix26
@pale lance
Ahh
The way i'd do it (even if im pretty simple-minded) is find x1 = 4 - x2 -x3 then do 1 over that
Afterwards I'd make the denominator the same
Does that make sense lmao
this?
That's how i'd do it
But the way i do it is very long
I wonder if anyone else has a solution
wait, so 1/4?
no
well I got it right
cause $\frac{1}{x+y+z}\neq\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}$
Mosh
"The zeroes of $x^3-4x^2+x-4=0$ are $x_1$, $x_2$, and $x_3$. The value of $\frac{1}{x_1}+\frac{1}{x_2}+\frac{1}{x_3}$ is $\frac{1}{4}$"
hyperlix26
yeah and $x_1+x_2+x_3=4$
hyperlix26
that is one of the results
though roots 1 at a time wont be as useful
roots 2 and 3 at a time will be more useful
oh so I got the right answer in coincidence
yes
cool
$\frac{1}{x_1}+\frac{1}{x_2}+\frac{1}{x_3}=\frac{x_2+x_1}{x_2x_1}+\frac{1}{x_3}$
hyperlix26
$\frac{x_2+x_1}{x_2x_1}+\frac{1}{x_3}=\frac{x_2x_3+x_1x_3+x_1x_2}{x_1x_2x_3}$
hyperlix26
oh yeah x_1+x_2+x_3=4 isn't useful at all
yeah
ok since it's a degree 3 polynomial
the product of the zeroes are gonna be negative
but we have a negative coefficient
so it's gonna be positive
yes, -(-4/1)=4
numerator is roots 2 at a time

My question for this is, how would I go about taking those top 2 limits, if one piece is undefined, yet the other piece is, how do I go about taking that limit
ok I kinda figured it out I think
the limit exists only when the left and right limits exist and are the same
yeah
for the 1st one right
lim x -> 1
for the first one
limit is 1
bottom, limit is 1
right?
Zybikron
correct, why?
because as x approaches 2 on the left side, the limit is less then 2, and approaching on the right side, the limit is 2
i believe on the left side the limit for approaching 2 is: 2 - 1/x
i think.
yes
dang it
well
a limit doesnt exist for 2 on that side????
since its just not defined
$\lim_{x\to2^-}f(x) = \lim_{x\to2^-}2-x$
Zybikron
so the left limit is 0, right limit is 2. So limit DNE
yep
and then the second part of this is continuity
so its not continuous at 2
continuous at 1
and 0
yep

how do i find invertible matrix X such that XA=B
also it is given that these two are row equivalent
as well as it seemed that the ff elementary matrices are to be used to answer this problem
You can write down all the coefficients and make the system of equations to start (btw they are the same, so its just to illustrate)
write down the systems of equations for XA=B?
As a better approach, you can consider the row operations that takes A to B
the row operations that were used are as follows:
R1 = R1/3, R2=R2-5R1, and R2<->R3
so like system of equations of matrix multiplication or some sort?
Yes, you just list all of the single equations and analyse them as a system of equations and not as matrix
But at the end of the day matrix is always faster
You can represent every row operation as a matrix
Composition of row operations becomes multiplication of matrices
i dont exactly get what this is meant
$\begin{pmatrix}1&0&0\-5&1&0\0&0&1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}a\b\c\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a\-5a+b\c\end{pmatrix}$
ryker.chen
It is similar, but not the above. Recall matrix multiplication
The number of columns of the first matrix has to match the number of rows of the second

would I just let the least upper bound = $e$
Joseph Fourier
would the set be bounded to e ?
sunflame
Pick rational numbers st the digits of an irrational number are correct up to the nth digit
does e not work
any irrational number works
ok but how big do I have to make the set
how do I show that its infinite
that's the goal yes.
if you pick e, you need to find a sequence in Q that converges to e
then the sup is e, which is not in Q
ok yeah but do I define the sequence
do I just say a_n = {2, 2.7...etc}
yes, then probably use words in that construction
e does have a non-wordy sequence, it's the sequence of partial sums 
how is it a sequence of partial sums
$\operatorname{sup}{a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{1}{k!}|n\in\mathbb{N}}=e$
Mosh
since we know a priori from calc that $e^x=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{x^k}{k!}$
Mosh
the typical limit definition of e I suppose
could I just say that $a_n$ is a sequence that gets infinitely close to $e$
hi
is this open
Joseph Fourier
and a bit pedantic
mosh
$\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+\frac{1}{n})^n=e$
Mosh
so you define the sequence trivially
i got sent here ☠️
so this is a_n
the part you're taking the limit of, yes
is there any way to define the sequence how I originally proposed to
but with a paragraph definition
what was your original proposition?
{2,2.7,2.71,2.718,...}, where a_n is the 1st n digits of the decimal expansion of e
you need to define the sequence
then trivially sup = e
I dont think we learned those definitions of e
...
ok
so
idk
lets start from the beginning
the supremum is any irrational number
the sequence is finite
so how would I define a infinite sequence
.
.
we didnt learn
we didnt learn
k.
Either way, everything we've discussed has only been infinite sequences
cause, again, a finite set of rational numbers will have a rational supremum (obviously)
ok and thats all I have to do
Yes
The question is "provide a sequence of rational numbers whose sup isnt rational"
nothing more, nothing less.

if the node at (5,2) weights 200 units
and gravity is like 9.5
how much upward force would the node at (3, 1) have to extert at a minimum
so the node would weigh 200 * 9.5
but like lol how does this work
exert at a minimum to do what?
gravity is a central force, so the force it exerts would have to be away from the node
ie down and to the left
and what's the mass of the (3,1) node?
it is locked in place
Yeah you're doing a poor job of explaining the setting
true
so lets imagine that this is a bench press
ight
so the point (3,1) would be the start of the arm
the arm would be the black line that wants to move the bar at (5,2)
so how much force does it need to use to keep that bar from falling down due to gravity
does the bar have mass?
not the point-masses, the bar
the bar is the point
.....
I'm trying to make a 3d sceneraio 2d to make it simple lol
yeah
what is the flipping mass of the bar
200 units
Ok
so the bar creates a torque, you want a force in the y^ direction that creates the same torque but opposite rotation
uhm
I guess so sure
the whole point of this is to find the optimal bar bath for a bench press (which would not be a straight line cause that does not account for gravity)
if that clarifies anything

i don't get it
it doesn't seem possible or sensical to write the triangular region as the sum of two different regions
What if you somehow manifested a negative into the bounds by saying that the triangle in question = (large triangle) - (smaller triangle)
Large triangle: y = 2x, x = 5, y = 0
Small triangle: y = x, x = 5, y = 0
yes but it won't let me do that. i can't subtract
unless i reverse the bounds or use a negative differential?
try reversing the bounds - tbh I don't have a great idea as to how this would work
@raven rover
i manifested the right answers somehow
just completely guessed at it, but that makes no sense at all why you'd do that
let me try writing this in latex
Yeah I don't like that problem to be honest
i mean i guess that works?
i don't see why you would choose the specific horizontal line y=5 though
to make the "cut"
that has no real justification
well i mean i guess it does. that's the only horizontal line which splits it into two different triangles
but i just don't like the problem
i reject the premise entirely
same
if it had explained which two regions it wanted i would have been fine with it actually

Try to write both numbers as the same base
Don't tell the person that
You should teach the person how to get there
Yeah ur right sry
You already know the base would be 2 because it's easier to work with the smaller numbers
So you need 16 to have a base of 2
So what power of 2 makes 16?
Powers are repeated multiplication of the same number, right?
So then what's 2^4, if you calculated that?
So then 16 = 2^4, right?
You can replace that in then problem, making 16 be 2^4
And don't forget parentheses

hiya!
i was hoping i could get a bit of help on this linear algebra homework question, i've been struggling with how to tackle it for about half an hour now
this is the question
do i need to convert the matrix to parameterized form?
i don't even know where to begin :/ any help would be appreciated!!
i can and will show all work along the way as i build an answer to this. at the moment though, i'm completely stuck and don't even know what to begin picking apart
my eyes are drawn to the matrix but i can't think of what to do with it off the top of my head. any guidance would surely go a long way for me!
is this on the right track or am i getting sidetracked with trying to do this
determinants have no role here, right?
Trying asking in the more specific topic channel, #linear-algebra. The more specific channels, people who mainly know that topic will be there more, compared to general help because anyone can help
No ig
This is a help channel
So anything goes
I'm saying the more specific channels, people who know that topic will mainly be there instead of being in general help channels
Do it by definition, calculate that determinant
how can i calculate the determinant of a matrix with variables in it
just do it manually?
ok one sec
i will do that and get back to you
also @wary stream i'm just concerned about it getting lost in #linear-algebra but i'm down to cross post i don't mind
so long as cross posting isn't frowned upon
Won't get lost because majority of the people use general help and less frequently use the specific topic channels
you saying that to the cross post, or the determinant thing? cause i'm doing the determinant rn
so response time will take longer?
yep am on it, will get back to you with an answer for the determinant
one moment
Depends on traffic hours
If you know Laplace expansion you can expand it in terms of the first row, if you don’t know it it doesn’t matter you just calculate it
i don't know laplace expansion no :c
i calculate determinant one sec this is a process that i'm not used to bear with me i'm getting there
am writing it in notebook rn hol' up
how's this?
fuck! sorry for ping
i really gotta get better at that :/
genuinely am sorry did not intend to ping
i know people get feisty about that shid
how does the determinant have to do with the line passing through the points? i'm a little lost on how the determinant comes into play here
i understand that the determinant is just the factor by which the area changes with some linear transformation
how does that play a role here
the fact that that matrix = 0, does that mean that the determinant = 0 too?
Good
x(y_1-y_2)+y(x_2-x_1)+(x_1y_2-x_2y_1)=0
It’s a line
So just prove that (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are on it
Yeah
okay cool i'm following
does this mean plug in values? iirc my professor doesn't want me plugging in random values for a proof, he only wants me doing that if i'm disproving something
The geometric explanation is actually the volume of the parallelepiped expanded by (x,y,1),(x_1,y_1,1),(x_2,y_2,1) is 0 so (x,y) must be sitting on that line but it doesn’t matter
Yeah just plug in values
parallelepiped
one sec i gotta google this word
I googled it too, not my first language
so again, my prof only wants me plugging in values if i'm disproving something
like, he wants me to give explicit values if i'm providing a counterargument
but in a proof he wants me to be all wordy. for example, this is my answer to the next question in that homework
so i gotta tackle the proof formulaically in some sense
?
so i understand that the determinant of that matrix is 0 because it's a line in R2. that part i totally follow, i'm with you.
It’s not specific values
oh? what would i be plugging in?
I mean let (x,y)=(x_1,y_1)
okay thank you i will come back to you with what i have so you can lemme know if i'm on the right track with my logicbrain
i think i follow what you're saying, will get back to you if i run into an obstacle with my understanding as i type this out
gimme a few mins to think on this
i dearly appreciate all of your help thus far
Sure
ok so this is my answer thus far but i'm getting a little bit lost with this
i'm not sure how i can let (x, y) be two things at once
trying to incorporate
x(y_1-y_2)+y(x_2-x_1)+(x_1y_2-x_2y_1)=0
this into it is difficult for me because i am struggling with thinking about mapping (x, y) to two different things
wouldn't it be the same as saying (x, y) = (x_1, y_1) = (x_2, y_2)?
No I mean respectively
so, by doing that, i'm just able to say that because they're equal to each other then they fall on the line? my wires must be getting a bit crossed
First you let (x,y)=(x_1,y_1)
x(y_1-y_2)+y(x_2-x_1)+(x_1y_2-x_2y_1)=0
Let (x,y)=(x_1,y_1)
x_1(y_1-y_2)+y_1(x_2-x_1)+(x_1y_2-x_2y_1)=0
So (x_1,y_1) is on this line
Got it?
is this really all there is to it??
would it be better to rewrite the determinant line to be formatted like the others?
This is clearly a line, it’s standard
awesome
i modified it slightly further
just to add a line to the det thing
ok so this is the product of all this
looks good cog?
Yeah
awesome, thank you so so so much for your help, you've certainly helped me gain some understanding
i appreciate it a lot
Np

Am I thinking about this wrong? I thought this is how these problems are supposed to be solved, I pick some values, and based on those, I find the last one, no?
@fickle dock Has your question been resolved?
Of course it’s wrong, the dimension is 3
Choose one variable for example x_1, then all other 3 variables are free
You can let them be (1 0 0) or (0 1 0) or (0 0 1) respectively to obtain a basis
but it worked for the previous one, that one had dimension 3 and the basis was dimension 3 as well 🤨
yeah it worked here
because there's 2 matrices?
What? No
so the dimension of the basis is always 1 less than the original matrix?
so how do I know how many matrices I need then?
I need 3 because there are 3 free variables, right?
this still doesn't work tho :/
Why such answer
What?
Just one matrix
With one row
A=(3,-6,-4,-8)
Ax=0
(x,y,z,w) st -4x+6y-6z-w=0
Why you keep asking different questions
Sorry
I mean him
oh sorry my bad, I thought I had the other one pulled up 🤦♂️
Ogay do u get it?
I'm re-reading it
so I choose 1 variable
x
that one's gonna have the formula that I came up with earlier
I don't understand this
so I pick x to be my computed variable based on the 3 free ones
which variables does the basis represent then?

hi, quick question. i forgot how to write the domain of a function that excludes a number
N - {100}
moof
ah my bad, it's been so long since I've used latex
R - {4}
Put the number in curly braces
Oh ya, forgot to put that in too
If there are two numbers?
Is it going to be $R - {4 \cup 6}$
moof
R - {4, 6}
Okay, thanks!

Does anyone know what x would be in “4x+5”
inner angle is same as outer angle
Yeah I need to solve for X
This is using the arc length formula
no need for arclength
No
@winter tangle question is poorly designed
Ahhh
Anyways we need radius to find x by arc length method
Hence I thought question was incomplete
So the answer would be B then ?
Yh didn’t see that there wasn’t radius
It is correct @unique halo

Hey people. I'm stuck with basic trig, I'm ashamed, ha! I totally used to know how to do this in high school. I guess my psychology teacher was right when she said: "Use it or lose it".
I'll start learning again with Khan academy. Could I get a reminder how this problem presented in the picture could be solved, please?
What I'm trying to find is - I have a mountain next to my house, but no sextant. I know the distance between the mountain and me, and the elevation of the mountain and mine elevation.
The question that I have is - what's the alpha angle
Oh, sorry
Old habit heh
I also noticed a typo
546 isn't mm, it's just metres
and b is in kilometres, but that can easily be shifted to metres, just multiply by 1000
what sides do you know, relative to the alpha angle?
Well, I know all sides and the 90deg angle
depending on the sides you know, you'll be able to use either sine, cosine, or tangent
first, you have to determine which sides are the opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse, relative to alpha
Ah, true
I know for a fact that the sum of L and B should be 90
So, to determine L, I'd go like
let me see if I remember correctly
you mean alpha and beta right?
yes, good
and it's a right triangle so you can use the trig functions to calculate the angles
since you know all 3 sides, you can use any trig function you desire
specifically, you would determine the equation, and find the inverse function to find the angle
Thank you for guiding me 😄
no problem
Do you know stuff like what tan, sine, cosines are?
If you don't, I suggest that is what you look up.
Yep, gonna have to do some more reading but that should be more or less it
what's funny is I don't remember arcsin being a thing at all
aand it's wrong 😄
brb, need to recheck where I went wrong
okay uh
it's corect but.. I thought I was calculating sine for beta
¯_(ツ)_/¯
that looks great!
Figured it out! :p Thank you people ❤️
Wiki + some googling + this website to show me actual steps https://www.calculator.net/triangle-calculator.html?vc=90&vx=620&vy=2510&va=&vz=&vb=&angleunits=d&x=83&y=11
This free triangle calculator computes the edges, angles, area, height, perimeter, median, as well as other values and a diagram of the resulting triangle.
also, if you want to calculate alpha you would just do 90-beta
I'm gonna pick up a textbook with problems
Relearn everything
Got any nice ones to reccomend? 🙂
hmm, not sure
I might just go for the current reccomended one in schools
That seems like a safe choice
there might be a place in this server to ask; but I can't guide you specifically because I'm not really familiar with this server, sorry
No problem, thank you a lot for helping ❤️

Hi, for this question, am I doing correct way?
ye
Si
Yes
You know what a domain is right?
Yeah, specifically what values x can take
So this function (x+1)(x+9) is inside of a square root
Ya
Which puts a pretty strict constraint on what values it can take, what constraint is that?
the radicand can't be negative
Those are the roots of the equation, if you put them, you'll get 0, which is an acceptable answer
Yess
i.e (x+5)^2-16>=0
Yes
What is radicand?
Let me try first
I think x can’t be the number between -9 and -1
Because if I put the number between them, I’ll get negative
So I think the x have to be less than -9 or more than. -1
And the largest domain one, I think the answer is ♾?
-9 and -1 exlusive ye
(-infinity, -9] U [-1,+infinity)
It can take -9 and -1 , so just exclude those 2
Ya
For the composition h(x)=f[g(x)]
So is this the answer for it?
ye the domain for
in interval notation
