like this?
Like what?
The 3x is positive, not negative.
Yeah.
got it
Even if it were negative though, your factorization wouldn't be right, since it's supposed to be (x-4)(x+1).
ye
That's it. Now you can simplify the whole thing.
Oh, hold up.
3x-1
There you go.
Alright.

you don’t need ‘.open’
What do you mean "make a triangle"? Given three points or something like that?
the triangle is a shape and it is nonsense to say that its 180°
however if you are referring to the interior angle sum then yes.
the interior angle sum of a triangle is 180°
?
no! i am NOT a robot if that's what you're suspecting.
everyone is a bot except you
- the interior angle sum is 180°
- the longest side’s length is shorter than the sum of the two smaller sides’ lengths
don’t tag helpers until no one has answered you for 15 minutes.
all triangles satisfy these conditions
you verify whether these conditions are violated
take the first one for example
a triangle with measures 60°, 80°, 80°
ie angle sum of 60 + 80 + 80 = 220°
that’s not possible, triangles always have an interior angle sum of 220°
so immediately we don’t check the first box
check condition 2
also, think before asking
exert some effort

x is the middle point
To see this you extend AB and DE, intersection point being O, take a look at triangle OAD. It’s similar to OBE, also similar to OCX

Tan^2x/sin^2x = tan^2x + 1
do u have to prove it
yes
tanx=sinx/cosx
the squared one would be sin²x/cos²x
so (sin²x/cos²x)/sin²x
ya I got that but I can’t go from there to a tan +1
and this would simplify to 1/cos²x
uhh
ok
what next
Ohh I see it
1/cos^2x is sec^2x
And that is basically tan + 1
Tan^2x
Thank you

(Precalc practice test) Now I get how I got #9 wrong (rounding error) but I don’t get the others. I think the answer key may be wrong. My answers are:
- C
- C
- B
- D
Wait I see my error on 1
.
did the last calculation wrong on 1. I don’t see my error on 10
,w 1/(4 - 5)
Pretty sure 0.5 isn't less than -1
So the only issues I’ve had were just calculation stuff
Most likely
:/
well idk how to fix that
and in #6 I did 12am and 4pm not 1am and 4pm :/
well I’m just reading stuff wrong.

I want to show that $(U_n)n)$ converges to l if and only if the two sub-sequences $(U{2n})n$ and $(U{2n+1})_n$ converge to the same l
planeboi
Can I say that $U_n=U_{2n}$ or $U_{2n+1}$ ?
planeboi
<@&286206848099549185>
I hope the implication => is clear
so let's do the other direction. suppose that both U_2n and U_2n+1 converge to L
pick epsilon > 0. using that both sequences converge, we then get N_1 and N_2 such that for all 2n >= N_1 we have |U_2n-L| < epsilon and all 2n+1 >= N_2 we have |U_(2n+1) -L | < epsilon. what can we then say about U_n using the constant N_1 + N_2
@subtle seal Has your question been resolved?
U_n such that n>N_1 or N_2 ?
let's use U_k instead of U_n just for some clarity. the idea is that if k is even, let's say k=2n then you can use the first condition. if k=2n+1 is odd then you can use the second. so if k > N_1 + N_2 then you can use both depending on which one you need

Hello, how do I find the limit of this series?
because it is difficult
well, okay
I found that it indeed converges, but I don't know how to solve it by hand
take a pencil and start writing solution on the paper. that is how you solve it by hand

so, when integrating the differential of something - u still need the constant term?
so does it become e^bx/a * y + c = 0 ---> y = -ce^-(bx/a)
but in this case they couldnve just said + k instead of + c and then they're saying -k = c ?
if thats not the case then I dont understand where the c came from
@edgy breach Has your question been resolved?
you mean like
$$\int f'(x) \mathrm{d}x$$
?
Doggo
you still need the constant, otherwise
$$\int 2x \mathrm{d}x = \int \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} (x^2) \mathrm{d}x = x^2$$
which is missing the constant when it should be there

a is the gradient, which is 0
are you sure it's the turning point and not the roots
then you need the tangent at x = 0, not the tangent at the turning point
somebody has gone wrong somewhere
they're not the same
the gradient here will be h'(x)
h''(x) is like the "rate of change of gradient" if you get what i mean
depends what you're trying to find
but then the gradient will be 0 as stated earlier (for your tangent). Your turning points are at x = 0 and x = 4
A and B here are your turning points
seems like a very badly worded question (unless the translation is a bit off or you're actually looking for those 2 lines)
because then the tangents will just be y = -20 and y = 12
the straight lines are your tangents
what language was it translated from

hi, so finals for my first year of high school are almost up and i have this little thing that i don't understand
what happens if you multiply out (2y-1)^2?
i'm honestly not sure lmfao
i don't know how to put brackets with x and y raised in ^2
i mean with a number in them
have you heard of FOIL?
https://www.cuemath.com/foil-formula/
mhm, but how does this apply here
$(2\lambda - 1)^2 = (2\lambda - 1)(2\lambda - 1) = (2\lambda)(2\lambda) + (2\lambda)(-1) + (2\lambda)(-1) + (-1)(-1)$
simplify that last equality
riemann
it's used to get the last equality
im still a bit confused
how would you simplify the last equality
jesus i need to understand some basic shit xD
ok so for this it'd be (2λ)(2λ)+2λ+2λ-1-1-1-1
by what im seeing in this
that feels very wrong lmfao
are we supposed to seperate the 2 from the λ too?

hello

i forgot how to solve unlike denominators im doing my brothers homework
youtube videos didnt help
hes in the 6th grade right now
i am stuck in 7_5 + 1_3
and 4_3 - 2_6
$\frac{7}{5} + \frac{1}{3}$
Breeziboi
you can add both when they have the same denominator. So just multiply both by the gcd(5,3)
thank you very much
that video helped so much
Khan academy is my go-to for math
they are amazing to be honest
i might donate

why can't we simplify sqrt(65)
Because it’s not divisible by any integer square numbers
because it only has prime factors ?
I’m talking about it’s not divisible by 4, 9, 16, 25 ect
ahhh i seee
so for the quadratic equation
i got the answer (5/2) ± (sqrt(65) / 2)
is this the right answer?
thank you !

How many ways can we assemble five containers when water is in three containers and oil in two?
Well, in cases like this we can brute force it. First we have to know a few things: can we distinguish the bottles of water?
As in is there a difference between water 1, water 2 and water 3?
Ok, well then, let's consider that we only have two options: oil, or water. We can just decide to care about where the oil is.
mhm
So let's go through some examples:
If 1 is oil and 0 is water
11000
10100
10010
10001
...
00011
If you notice, we only have to care about 2 out of the 5 bottles
nhn
So we can model this with 5 choose 2
so 10?
Yep, which we can check via exhaustion by continuing the examples above
Can't vc, but I can help
Ah ok+
We have two identical pink balls and two identical white balls. We arrange them in a row in all ways. How many different arrangements are there?
My answer for that is 6, is it correct?
Well, if we set it up just like the previous problem, we have 2 balls to care about out of a total of 4, so 2 choose 4, which is indeed 6
ah ok
Anya borrowed four books from the library. How many orders in which she could read them one at a time?
for this one, I am very confused
what does it mean by she could read them one at a time?
She has 4 books, right? Let's call them a b c and d. She can't read multiple at once, so we have to think of how many orders we can put the books in
How many options does she have for her first book?
4 options
Good, now she's read one, how many options would she have for the second book?
Now how many for the 3rd book?
2 because she read the 2nd book and the first one
and for the last one 1
24 is the answer?
4!=24, yep
Joline, Jenna, JM, and July went to a classical music concert. How many different ways can they sit in the four free seats if July wants to sit with JM?
How many characters can we create from two commas and four dots?
My answer here is 12

Characters? Like an ordering?
in any ways ig
for this one?
For the commas and dots
I'm not sure, depending on what counts as a character
ah ok
but for Joline, Jenna, JM, and July went to a classical music concert. How many different ways can they sit in the four free seats if July wants to sit with JM?

The degree of a polynomial is vocabulary to mean: the highest power of x
The degree here is 6
ping helpers after 15 minutes
not right after posting the problem
Here you would add (find the sum --> addition) the two polynomials by combining the like terms.
Combine 2x^2 and -4x^2 --> -2x^2
Combine 5x and 6x --> 11x
Combine -7 and 3 --> -4

Hello, I would like to know if I can solve for 2 unknown vectors if I know their sizes and dot product
*cross product
more specifically i have a 3x3 matrix with known elements
trying to find the 1x3 and 3x1 matrix that multply for it
is it even possible?
if you think about it, you end up with 6 unknowns and 9 equations
and since you can scale solutions by a factor, you wither have 0 or infinite solutions
yeh i thought it was infeasible
spent like 30 mins tryna work out similtanous equations
ah well thank you
the best attempt you have is to maybe find integer solutions
by factoring out the 1/30 and dealing with it later
but i dont think there are any
I've actually figured it out with the context
it was a joint probability distribution matrix
i just need to add the values in the columns lol
nice

Hi does anyone know how to simplify this square root?
i thought u would make 8 2sqrt2
and then factor but its wrong
try to create a square inside
so that the outer sqrt gets cancelled
how
using a^2 + b^2 + 2ab
2sqrt2+15^2?
no
ab = sqrt(15)
a^2 + b^2 = 8
try to find a and b
then your answer would be a + b
2+6? idk
hint what are the factors of 15, that add up to 8
There's some way to express it like:
8 + 2√15 = (a + b√15)²
Finding that gets rid of the √
5 and 3
8 2sqrt15

Thanks for your help. 🙂
$\sqrt{8 + 2\sqrt{15}} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})^2} = (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})$
yeah
what's the type of calculator?
its already a complete square
most of the times
you just need to find it

I get to
yeah
Make that question into standard form
i got it into slope form
standard form?
$$4x - 3y = -24$$
Umbraleviathan
You know that the x intercept is (a, 0) where a is the intercept; the y intercept is (0, b) where b is the intercept
That means that for the x-intercept, y must equal 0; for the y-intercept, x must equal 0
ok, let me digest this for a second
Solving for y-intercept:
$$4(0) - 3y = -24$$
$$-3y = -24$$
$$y = 8$$
Umbraleviathan
I hate latex why is it shoving it to the right
yeah I can get to y = 8
y intercept
= 8
So ok.
4(x) - 3(0) = -24
4(x) = -24
24 / 4 = 6
x = 6
wait.
-4(6) = -24
idk if it should be 4(-6) = -24
but im guessing its -6
Yeah it's -6
ok
So it would be A
yup

Suppose y is directly proportional to x^3, what happens to y if x is increased by 20%?
what is the value of x increased by 20%
wdym
y directly proportional to x^3
ignore that
first tell me what is 100 increased by 20%
120
wdym
x+.2x
why is it .2x?
20/100=.2 x is increased by 20%
no. if you increase 10 by 20%, it is 2. it is 10 + .2(10) = 12

f(x) = sqrt(x+4)/x-4 is x here nonnegative too? @lofty oriole
And x =/= 4, right?
x =/= 4 from the denominator, and (x+4)>=0 or x >= -4 from the sqrt.
in interval notation, that's
[-4, 4) U (4, inf)
x + 4 is nonnegative, and x =/= 4
Can you say that x is nonnegative thoguh? Since you can't have two different value for each x.
Like do you have to say x+4 is nonnegative
or is x itself nonnegative in both x+4 and x-4 since it is nonnegtaive in one of them.
Like are these classifications universal or relative?
you're focusing in on the word nonnegative I think too much. You have two things going on here
-
Dividing by (x-4)
You can't divide by zero. That means x cannot be 4. Hence, x=/=4 -
Taking square root of (x+4)
You can't square root negative numbers. That means (x+4) must be greater than or equal to zero. Hence, x>=-4
Combining these restrictions into one domain, we say
x: [-4, 4) U (4, inf).
or in other words,
x>=-4, but x =/= 4.
Makes sense
Is it okay to write it as 0 <= x =/= 4?
Or is that a nono?
naw that's saying something completely different, the number zero should be nowhere in your answer 😛
Oh I see
Question
This says that all real numbers for this functions' domain are less than -4 excluding 4.
"less than" is a typo. That should say greater than.
Is that correct? I thought it was all real numbers greater than -4 excluding 4.
Ah okay, yeah
Smarter than the answer key
Very based
thank you

5 yrs of private tutoring, 500 students, in my experience answer keys are only right some of the time xd
xd
By the way, how do you get to the point where you just know all of these fundamentals
5 yrs of private tutoring
I just feel like there is so much I don't even know yet
ahhhhh
and I'm working on a math major
Oh I see
I do math 10 hrs a day every day haha

I wish I was good enough to do that
I'm trying 🤷
I put in like 15 hours today
It's actually 9:11 AM and I haven't slept lol
I have too much school work
dam bro, get sleep. 8 hrs of sleep is the best thing you can do for an exam score. Don't cut into sleep for study!
sleep is prio #1 your brain needs it
Oh there isn't anything I can do, I have 1 1/2 months to finish half a school year so that I can submit my final transcript to the uni that I got into so that I can start
It's not by choice
But it's the right thing in this case
ANyways, back to it

Why is the answer to cos in this a square root if this is how you calculate cos?
the square root is the adjacent side length over the hypotenuse
if that is what you mean
@cedar field do i understand correctly that your point of confusion is: "i learned that square roots are irrational, i.e. cannot be written as fractions, and yet here we are with x/r somehow equaling sqrt(3)/2; what gives?"
how can lets say 4 divided by 1 be a square root?
and yes maybe
x/r doesn't specify x or r need to be integers. x is sqrt3. r is 2.
so x/r is sqrt3 / 2
square roots cannot be written as fractions of two integers. there's nothing wrong with writing a square root in a fraction
here x is sqrt(3)/2 and r is 1, but yes, that was my point
why does it sound so complicated if its just this?
well... ok, would you like to go through why cos(30°) is what it is? a derivation that uses geometry and nothing else?
ok
is that a yes or a no
okay
let's start with an equilateral triangle
it'll be convenient for us to take its side length to be 2
i'll make a diagram in just a moment
do you follow so far?
yes i do
now i will draw a line from B to the midpoint of AC, which i will call D
since this equilateral triangle is also isosceles, this line will be the median, the altitude and the bisector all in one.
so from b to the 2 at the bottom
"the 2 at the bottom" is nothing more than a length label. it doesn't refer to any point.
and in fact i will now get rid of it to make room for length labels of the two halves.
do you understand this diagram?
maybe im not that good I know 22+b2=c2
that sounds nowhere near the pythagorean theorem
oh I think i meant the Pythagoras theorem
is that right?
what's ad 2 supposed to mean
squared
what's bd 2 supposed to mean
the symbol ^ exists, you know.
oh
what's the length of AD?
1
can i know the question
and what happens when you square that value?
what is that value
i am trying to walk kangaroo rat through rederiving from scratch the value of cos(30°), and to this end i've drawn them an equilateral triangle in which i've drawn one median to split it into two 30-60-90 triangles
and we are currently at the point where kangaroo rat is trying to apply pythagoras' theorem to a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 2 and one of whose legs is 1, to find the other leg
wait i gotta go can I or you DM you in about 12 hours to continue?
or i can do it now for two minutes
and also ad^2=2 bd^2=2
is this right
just uhh keep this conversation ?, i just need to know what u have learn and come back later, we can all help your problem
but wait, ad^2 = 2 when ad = 1 , uhh do u see it wrong
if it really is in about 12 hours then i will be available (though 11 might spell some trouble)
and bd^2 isnt 'bout = 2 due to pythagoras theorem
ouh
since bd^2 + ad^2 = ab^2 (pythagoras theorem)
and know ad = 1 and ab = 2
u know that bd^2 cannot equal to 2
@glass python please open your own channel
mean?
we will moving to your own channel, read #❓how-to-get-help
ok ill DM you then
or me if u're sooner, 12hour more is my 3AM so if u avail sooner than expect and cant contact Ann u can dm me, im avail until my 11PM
ok

hey
On a meadow there are sheep and geese
And there are 18 heads and 58 legs
How many sheep and geese are there?
Let the number of sheep be x and the number of geese be y
Start from this and form 2 different equations using the data about the heads and legs
The first equation is correct
x+y=18
Second one is incorrect
How many legs does a sheep have? And how many legs does a geese have
well sheep has 4 and goose has 2
Yup
So if you have x sheep then total sheep legs is how much?
Similarly how many goose legs
4 times x? and 2 times y ?
4y + 2y = 58 ?
Correct
4x*
You can solve it now

how a = yi
yi = a
trw i have an exam
Please some on help so i get some good marks
$y_i$ is either $a$ or $-a$ depending on the point
Ann
by definition of your system really
@errant hinge Has your question been resolved?
oh
but in here can yi be either a or -a
if so then 2summationi=1 mi xiyi
@vale wigeon
x = 1 y = 1 leads to 2m but how -2m
...
like
in 3x3 matrix
a11 = 2||(upperlimit)||summation1||(lower limit)|| (y^2+z^2)*m. Since z=0 it will be
2summation1( y^2)*m
y can be 1 or -1 by your point right
so a11 = 2m(1)^2 = 2m
ok wait let me first confirm the formulae
@vale wigeon thanks
trw my exam it is furstating
😢

is this correct? had this question on a test yesterday but i feel like this solution is just too simple for it to be right...
and no i don't have the answer key or my grade yet
that first substitution you made looks very very suspicious
is it?
i mean, you now have a summation in the right-hand side whose number of terms is 1/y
which i personally would've been very cautious with
you then just blithely expand it and say that since each term approaches 0 so does the sum, even though the number of terms is variable and even approaches infinity as y goes to zero
which... no, you can't do that.
oh i see
i also tried to write the limit as a series but that didn't get me very far
nope i don't know what that is
...right ok so we are to take this at face value
this was on a practice test for college entrance
so you have $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \paren{3\paren{\frac{2i}n}^2 + 2\paren{\frac{2i}n} + 1}$
yes
Ann
which, after some simple algebra, expands into $$\frac{12}{n^3} \sum_{i=1}^n i^2 + \frac{4}{n^2} \sum_{i=1}^n i + \frac1n \sum_{i=1}^n 1$$
right
Ann
do you know how to calculate $\sum_{i=1}^n i^2$, $\sum_{i=1}^n i$ and $\sum_{i=1}^n 1$?
Ann
i don't know the first one i could do the rest
the second one is n(n+1)/2 and the third is just n right
Ye
careful with the lack of parentheses around the denominator
oh sorry times 12
though the exact values are somewhat beside my point here
once you substitute everything in, you will have this:
$\frac{12n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6n^3} + \frac{4n(n+1)}{2n^2} + 1$
Ann
yeah
and from here you can either do it the honest way and expand it out, or note that both fractions here have the same degree in the num and denom and so really all we're after is the ratio of the leading coefficients
but either way this is an honest to goodness rational function in n
limit should be 3?
so you get (4n^3 + 6n^2 + 2n)/(n^3) + [4n(n+1)/2n^2] + 1 = 4 + 6/n + 2/n + 2 + 2/n + 1
shouldn't it be 7?
oh fuark forgot u could cancel the n and n^3
7 sounds correct actually
all the questions were worth 4 points
yeah it was a practice test though that's what they're for
nice nice

Malin says that the probability of rolling a regular dice four times without getting a six is approx. 50%. How does maline reach this value?
have you made any progress so far?
Nice. 5/6 is the probability of not getting a 6 on a single roll.
yes
To get the probability of independent events, like rolling a dice, you multiply the probabilities.
In this case, that's (5/6)(5/6)(5/6)(5/6) or just (5/6)^4.
Ye

How to find a, b and c
You have to close your other channels before opening new ones, using .close
Done
So if you recall the last problem, there was a set, the values from 1 - 10
And P was the set of powers and Q was the evens
This problem is similar, you have the set from 2 - 10, and A is the set of primes from 2 - 10
B is the set of values greater than or equal to 5
And C is the set of values less than 4
Why does it say x;x
B=5 6 7 8 9 10
Yes
C=1 2 3
A= 2 3 5 7
Lower case c

how do we solve this
What did you try?
I tried taking the 5^a common
and?
show your working?
try again and show where you get stuck
alr
Yeah we're not going to solve it for you but we can help you identify your mistakes.
.
You have to be more specific.
that is the right approach though^ I guess you made a mistake in doing that, so we'll need to know what you did specifically
5^a(5^3-55 * 5^-1)/5^a(5^2+89*1)
if you're solving for a, then it can be any real number
that's right
its a prove type question..
I have to get 1
you did
how?
solve that, it equals 1
show your next step to see where you're going wrong

Hello, was recently reviewing some math-physics based notes my friend shared with me, (i was absent from class), i asked where the minus came from and she wasnt sure.
