Understand?
I put 0 in for x
Like what I said
Because there's a point (0, -1.2)
Also I divided by 12
O
So $f(x) = -0.1(x-1.5)(x-8)$
Well that unconfuses me a little now
Umbraleviathan
You can leave it like that
To find the vertex (highest point), you can either use a graphing calculator and using the "maximum" program
That's the f function?
Yes
Wait is that drunk Barney
I just realized what he was holding
They say the 15th shot hits harder than the first
Unfortunately cannot relate I'm still a 15 year old mess
b. Expand f(x), and use your vertex-abscissa formula
Or whatever your class calls it
$$\frac{-b}{2a}$$
Umbraleviathan
I don't remember absolutely anything, we learned this right at the beginningn of the year
How to expand?
FOIL it
How to foil it
Got it
Multiply this by -0.1
Because a = -0.1
You just foiled (x-1.5)(x-8) but you also need to multiply by -0.1
Then use -b/2a
I got x^2 - 10.7
0
Should be $-0.1x^2+0.95x-1.2$
Umbraleviathan
$$b = 0.95$$
$$a = -0.1$$

Umbraleviathan
That's your x-value for the vertex
Plug -b/2a into f(x) to get the vertex y- value (the answer)

hey there, can someone explain to me how factoring
What have you tried?
uhhh well 12/2 is 6 and 4/2 is 2
but I don't get how that resolved in x+6 and x-2
and what happened to the exponent on the first x
Do you know how to factor quadratics?
no
Gimme a sec
This algebra video tutorial explains how to solve quadratic equations by factoring in addition to using the quadratic formula. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

thank you !
Damn, beat me to it
quadratics can be solved thru middle term factorization , completing the square and also by using the general quadratic formula which would be the easiest and I learned to solve thru this video as well
ohh finding two numbers that multiply to the one number and add to the other
i'm taking a math course for the first time in 8 years
can someone explain to me why we set the equation to
(equation) = 0 ??
why is the zero relevant
It wouldn't be an equation otherwise
It'd just be an expression
You can also factor expressions, I suppose, but it's the same process
Normally, the whole reason you factor is to find solutions to when the equation is 0
so why do the numbers have to multiply to the last term and add to the second term?
like what if the equation was x^2 - 12 + 4x
would factorization still be (x+6) (x-2)?
It would be, because it's the same equation just reordered
Try going backwards: what happens if you expand (x + a)(x + b)?
Yep. Expand it some more
x^2 + a + xb +ab ?
You missed an x on the a
Anyway, the expansion is x² + ax + bx + ab, right?
What if you factor out an x from those middle two terms?
then it's x + a + b +ab?
ax + bx = (a+b)x
ugh so many letters and symbols
Anyway, you get that (x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab
So if we're gonna factor a quadratic into (x + a)(x + b), we better have it so that the last term is a*b and the middle coefficient is a + b
so in my equation
x^2 +4x - 12
- 12 is ab
OH BECAUSE IT'S 6*2
dshfjslgdfl
GOT IT
thanks
Well, 6 * -2
Only if you're lucky, I'm afraid
I've seen many people's questions go unanswered and die
damn I've had like 7 answered today
i have this fun equation here
is my factoring correct for the denominator
(x + 8) (x - 8)
because the way I got it was by plugging in a 0x
no
4X4=16
oh wait i got confused
yeah you're right
but my thing about the *pretending there is a 0x was correct?
What's the question. you are looking for where denominator is undefined?
Yes. There's also a formula to factor a² - b², but it's the same principle
Ok, same thing. everything except denominator = 0
a² - b² is good. (x+4)(x-4) = x² - 4²
sorry. reply to wrong person.

Lines r and s both pass through the point (k; 9). Line r has a gradient of -4/3 and passes through the point (5;-3).
Find the value of k.
Please help me understand this
Are you replacing the b with the k or ?
Oh.
I substituted k in place of x
Isn't K x ?
?

I wanted to ask that why is 0 allowed in the domain of the exponential function say f(x) = 2^x? f(0) = 2^0 = 1 which makes it a constant function right? Then why is it allowed in the domain?
f(0) is a constant function
???
Oops sorry, I mean to ask why is it allowed, my mistake
It makes f(x) a constant function ryt?
,calc 2^0
Result:
1
oh I read it is as not allowed 💀
*why??
just because f(0) is a constant doesn't mean it's a constant function
riemann you good
So what makes a function a constant function?
f(x) = some constant for all x
Hmm,
I thought if there is a single image for all pre-images of the input set, then the function is called a constant function...
that's also true

i tried to solve the integral using both binomial and power rule but i get different answers
can anyone check
whats the original q?
They didn't do u sub though
If they kept it as u⁵/5, you'd be right
But they have (x - 2)⁵/5
q8 was the original question
the first integral is right but the second integral is wrong according to the answers
-288/5 is wrong but i dont see anything wrong with my working out
,rotate
it's +16 not -16

can you use disc method in a problem with 2 functions?
Of course, but it has a special name called a washer.
It's not disc then it's washer
yup but you can think of a washer as a special type of disc with a hole cut through it

Tips to solve using squeeze theorem?
isn't this equivalent to $\lim_{r \to 0} \frac{r^2}{\sqrt{r^2+1} - 1}$
ホタル
Was the only way I was taught to solve these types of questions
But that works too
Thanks!
I'm used to doing these by converting to polar form
just use L hopital rule?
yeah after converting to polar form you can just use l'hopital
maybe I have not studied polar form, any link for such theory? I am in 12th grade right now 😓
i was going to directly apply in this
a cartesian point (x,y) can be represented by (rsina, rcosa) where r is the distance of that point from the origin
you can multiply $\frac{\sqrt{r^2+1}+1}{\sqrt{r^2+1}+1}$
秋水
oh, this polar form, I thought something else
you cant
i can after I rationalise I guess
it is becoming 0/0 form either ways
l'hopitals rule doesnt work for multivariable limits
how would you do it?
😳 🙏 , didn't know that, sorry
in our course it only involves single variable calculus
yeah once you convert to single variable you can apply it
yeah apparently this method isn't taught in most places which i find much easier to use
yeah I didn't realise I could use it
btw you can close this if you're satisfied with the answer
But I was taught polar coordinates like 10 weeks after I was taught limits
I see

you can factor it
i m practicing completion of square rn
i dont wanna factor it
and btw if we do square root of (4-2root3)
do we write it as (2-root3)
or whole underoot(4-2root3)
you mean you want to simplify $\sqrt{4-2 \sqrt{3}}$ ?
秋水
yes
notice $4-2 \sqrt{3} = 1+3-2\sqrt{3}$
秋水
idk why am i getting shitty dobuts like this suddenly
yes
$4-2 \sqrt{3} = 1+3-2\sqrt{3} = (\sqrt{3}-1)^2$
秋水
so
$$\sqrt{4-2 \sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{3}-1$$
秋水
do you know $$(a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2$$
秋水
what's confusing in that
idk i just never thought like that
$4-2 \sqrt{3} = 1+3-2\sqrt{3} = (\sqrt{3})^2 -2 \times \sqrt{3} \times 1 + 1^2$
秋水
so
$\sqrt{4-2 \sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{1^2+\sqrt{3}^2-2\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{(\sqrt{3}-1)^2}=|\sqrt{3}-1|$
sqrt(-1) is approx -30
as sqrt(3) > 1 we can remove the abs
$\sqrt{36-4\sqrt{7}}$?
sqrt(-1) is approx -30
yes
well then the thing inside the sqrt isnt a square or something
I mean
u can't put it into the forma of (a+b)^2 or (a-b)^2
Its not possible for all of them
suddenly i m having doubts with sqr roots and oppening brackets
whaaat?
you can let $4-2\sqrt{3} = (a-b \sqrt{3})^2$, then to solve $a,b$
秋水
i m gonna sleep for 10 mins
my head is gonna bombard
i have been doing maths from 3 hrs now
i m getting confused more and more
even with solving brackets

[
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2\sqrt{n}e^{\sqrt{n}}}
]
mahmooz
ye it diverges but that doesnt mean a smaller series would diverge
im trying the root test
\begin{align*}
\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{a_n} &= \lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{2\sqrt{n}e^{\sqrt{n}}}}
\end{align*}
nah I was talking about the solution someone was coming up here
mahmooz
hmmm yeah imma try that since Root test seems useless
the hell is the integral of sqrt(x)
1/sqrt(x) i mean
x^(-1/2)
got it
yup
integral test works
just did it I think
the sqrt(n) cancels in the integrand when you a-ply integration by parts
wait but you’re left with $\int_1^{\infty} e^{-\sqrt{n}} dn$
Azzurala
oh that one you can do comparison i think
yea it is
repeated application of l'hopital
when $x>0$, $e^x>1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}$,
so
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2\sqrt{n}e^{\sqrt{n}}}<\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2\sqrt{n}(1+\sqrt{n}+\frac{n}{2})}<\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}$$

taylor series approx pog
ok im lost
i cant integrate e^(-sqrt(x))
how did u integrate by parts
i cant use taylor series
$$\int \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x} e^{\sqrt{x}}} ,dx= \int \frac{1}{e^{\sqrt{x}}},d\sqrt{x} = -e^{-\sqrt{x}}+C$$
秋水
im sorry for being so stupid but why did u move the sqrt(x) out
$$(\sqrt{x})' = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$$
秋水
That's u = √x
\begin{gather*}
t = \sqrt{x} \implies \text{dt} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \text{ dx} \implies \text{dx} = 2\sqrt{x}\text{ dt}\
\int \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}e^{\sqrt{x}}} \text{ dx} = \frac12 \int \frac{1}{te^t} 2\sqrt{x}\text{ dt} = \int e^{-t} \text{ dt}\
\int_1^\infty \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}e^{\sqrt{x}}} = \underbrace{\int_1^\infty e^{-t} \text{ dt}}_{\text{convergent}}
\end{gather*}
mahmooz
which means the series converges, right?
yes
brilliant thank you so much
[
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1n \cdot \sin\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}
]
mahmooz
you can compare with $\sum \frac{1}{n \sqrt{n}}$
秋水
what about sin
oh sin makes the expression even smaller
wait no but sin jumps from -1 to 1
1>=1/sqrt(n)>0, so sin(this)>0
I mean $0<\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \leq1$, so
$$\sin (\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}})>0$$
秋水
ohhhhhhh
$$0<\sin (\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}})<\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$$
秋水
ye and $\sum \frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}$ converges which means our series converges
mahmooz
do u think integral test would've worked here too?
I think you also need compare your integral to $\int_1 ^\infty \frac{1}{x\sqrt{x}} ,dx$
秋水
\begin{gather*}
0 < \frac{1}{sqrt{n}} \leq 1 \implies 0 < \sin\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} < \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} \implies \sum \frac1n \cdot \sin\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} < \sum \frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}}
\end{gather*}
ye done
mahmooz
yeah
but its not instantly obvious that $sin \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} < \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$
mahmooz
i wouldve never known that without looking at the sin function in the interval 0,1
when $x>0$, we have $x>\sin x$

hint: sum of all angle in a 4-sided shape is 360 degree
are you cheating on your exam
oh boy 👀
No im homeschooled.
its my homework that my teacher set up for us.
Since I cant physicly go to the other side of south africa and get my homework.
and Im bad with geometry
i wanna answer e tbh
try to write it down in math terms
your first hint about the sum of all interior angles in a 4 sided shape is 360 degrees should be where you want to start
360*
ty
angleP+angleS+angleQ+angleR = 360 degrees
@worldly wasp Has your question been resolved?
angle P + angle Q + angle S + angle R = 360............ all angles of any quadrilateral add up to 360
Angle P = 90
Angle = 90
Angle R = x-20
angle Q = x+10
..............................................Given information
90+90+(x-20)+(x+10)=360
180+(x-20)+(x+10)=360
(x-20)+(x+10)=360-180
(x-20)+(x+10)=180
x-20+x+10=180
x+x-20+1=180
2x-10=180
2x=190
x= 190/2
x=95
Hence, C is the answer

what is standard deviation?
i cant find any good explanation on the internet
how is it different from variance
what does standard deviation tell us that variance doesn't or vice versa
sd is just sqrt of variance
They both tell you the same thing, of course, you can argue standard deviation is "better" because it has the same units as your data, so it's more intuitive when talking about how far things are from the mean
if u wanna look at the mean at say 6
then the sd is 1
and you have a value of 8
you know that's 2 sd away
kinda hard to say that in variance
not that you cant but it's a bit simplier in "sd"
how many sd away
sd?
whats a distribution
bruh
i swear they just jumprd straight to chebyshev's theorem right from calculating mean
they missed everything in between
how did you get to that
without knowing what distributions are
if you look at people's height
i think that's a normal distribution
i mean theres a formula for calculating mean
so most people are around the average with some outliers
so not much to do there
so let's say 170 is the average height
and let's say sd is 15
(im making these numbers up)
ok
okay
now variance is sd squared so it's not quite measured in cm
so it's somewhat "less" useful to know
i dont know how to adequately define it
hmm
Very roughly a distribution just describes probabilities in a concise way

I have no clue what this graph is, mostly confused as to what $v = v_0$ and $u = u_0$ is supposed to be (why have two different variables here?) and what $r$ is meant to be
Doggo
the book gives basically no previous context, it's the jacobian part
r was used for vector valued functions before when I was on that subject
but no clue what anything is here?
u=u_0 and v=v_0 are lines in the u,v plane
I assume you're doing multivariable calc
yeah
In which case here r: R^2 --> R
Ah yeah you're right bc of the bold
I tried reading the book but I can't really understand anything because it uses this graph to explain everything
and I have no clue what's going on here exactly
So they're changing coordinates from u,v to x,y
And showing how the region S changes to the region R
and how does r work here? is it taking the line u = u_0 and moving it to x,y coordinates?
why not use T directly?
Hmm, what is T here
T(u, v) = (x, y) as the book put it
so I think it just moves any point on uv to xy
oh hm wait I found some extra context that I missed on the book
ook so r is basically another way to write T from what I can see
ah I got it now

Let ABC be an acute triangle
BE & CF be the height of the triangle, they cut each other at H
M is the mid-point of BC
On the line EF, construct a point X such that the angle XMH= HAM

The problem isn't exist in any competition though
The intersection AH at MX is I
Prove that MI=IX
Another way to state it
Let's see what I can do
I can try breaking it down
H is the orthocenter of ABC
I'm honestly not sure how to do this lol
What have you tried
I have no idea, especially the part "XMH= HAM"
I don't know how to use it
Yeah I don't think any helpers would wanna help with one too
Maybe ask your teacher
There's so many lines
I think we might have to construct something to use "XMH= HAM" part
Yeah I tried making triangle MAX
That doesn't help
Let's see
Lemme try using sumboblab
good luck with it, cya later

what grade material is this
try equating everything to lambda
It probably depends between different countries but where I live (Israel) I believe that in grade 8-9 pupils can solve this
quiz
or any arbitrary constant
7-8 in mine
waht is lambda
you can do directly but would be better if done with that
what?
can u use 1
you need a letter, not a number
you can write c for example
or lambda which is a Greek letter
i kinda use it like a standard thing when dealing with ratios so i siggested that
ok ill try
around grade 8
my teacher must have been sick cause she was absent for a week and didnt teach us this
@iron parcel Has your question been resolved?
thats very kind, I would say 5th grade
do you need help or was this your question
i know how to do ti
its very easdy
idkthis tho
do u know?
@iron parcel Has your question been resolved?

Would this be correct?
Not correct
simplify the left hand side first
So, would I have to expand?
the bottom part of the fractio
Yeah
Okay
yes

what is 1^2
1
so therefore you have 1 / (x+2)^2
What?
you have squared the one
Oh okay
no point writing 1^2
$(\frac{1}{x+2})^2 = \frac{1^2}{(x+2)^2}$

Hello kind sirs/mams I have a curious question. Are these two equations the same ?
I found the second one online but I'm not entirely sure it matches what I put in the calculator (1st one) and I just want to make sure (There's no way for me to check on the website that I got it from, I'm pretty sure)
yes they're the same

hi guys can someone explain to me whats going on here its not clicking
I derivate it and i have 3x^2+5 im stuck here
differentiate*
the question has nothing to do with derivatives
do you know what the notation $f^{-1}(x)$ means?
riemann
yes
so trial and error some values for x in f(x) to find out which one equals 5

$$y=Ce^{-2x}+De^{-x}$$
$$y^{\prime \prime }+3y^{\prime }+2y=0$$
Is this accurate?
AuHasard
I got $y=Ce^{{}^{-x}}+De^{-2x}$
AuHasard
Did you plug in that y to your ODE?
$y^{\prime \prime }+3y^{\prime }+2y=0\rightarrow y=e^{rx}\rightarrow r_{1}=-2,\ r_{2}=-1$
AuHasard
I am not sure how much it matters if -2 is r_1, or -1 is r_2
it doesn't
$y=Ce^{r_{1}x}+De^{r_{2}x}$
AuHasard
This is how it's written, so if I write $y=Ce^{-2x}+De^{-x}$ is no different from $y=Ce^{-x}+De^{-2x}$?
AuHasard
correct

yea
what is the best method of calculating the integral on the LHS? substitution ?
partial fractions
so it'll be ∫ A/x + ∫ B/(1-x)
right
will that be ln (x) + ln (1-x)

Hey
I'm looking for someone with a higher education than algebra which I'm in myself.
I'm going to be on for a couple hours studying for the second part of my finals and would really enjoy some help
@winged heron Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185> ?
Idk I'm just waiting for someone to tell me if they can help cause I got alot of questions
You can feel free to ask, and anybody who knows the subject will answer!
Well question 1
That'
That's just (9 r^3 s^9)(r^3 s^3)
And then that gets 27 r^6 s^12
correct?
Almost. 3^3 is 27, not 9
Yeah just caught that
But all of that is the right idea
I actually can't quite read that
You just subtract the exponents
and when the base is the same on division you subtract correct?
for question 3. it's 1/a^3 correct?
ye
question 4. is I think 1/3^14
Question 5 is uh
81 a^-8
over
b^12
Final answer for question 5= 81/ a ^8 b^12
correct?
Soooo
<@&286206848099549185>.

Could some mathematician solve this
,w solve (2n-1)(2^n)+1=950273
Is there anyway to write that in simpler terms?
cuz I need the number of terms
with my work shown
,w solve (2log_2(x) - 1)x+1=950273
thanks bro
Wait
but I need to show work as well
That's not the n
We didnt do all that log stuff yet
okok gotchu
,w 32768=2^n
so how many terms will it be
15?
ohhh my bad
But is there a way to simplify the shown work?
cuz I havent learnt this advanced stuff yet
So the answer to part a is i guess one part of the general term is an Arithmetic sequence and the other part is a geometric so if we could call it AGS
$$(2n-1)(2^n)+1=950273$$
Lelouch
Lelouch
@lone dagger paying attention?
Yes sir
Lelouch
Writing this in terms of x
Then it's a big big problem
:((
Log is simple
Learn it
ik but teacher gonna say I cheated lol
So if we have $a=b^c$
Lelouch
Screw the teacher, math is math ;(
hmm what if I say trial and error and write the series for 15 terms
Even B^c, i hav no clue what that is lol
Don't learn because you want to impress your teacher, learn because you want to develope a skill
That will take ages
I did fun fact, ended up with a 0 😦
no, cuz 6 terms r there
I can follow the pattern no
?
till the 15th
You could but that would take alot of time and it's the "brute force " method
It's not very elegant of you to do thay
Also you didn't use the equation of sum so it doesn't count :3
Is that in your books, or it actually doesnt count
Disgusting ways
hahahah agreed

It doenst count at all , because they give you the equation just because you should be using it
Otherwise why would they give you the equation://
well how would I use it then? If i cant use any of the advanced stuff
I don't know then, :/

hello?
what do you mean combine?
one second
I want the red line to subtract the green line
for x 1 y would be 1
for x 2 y would be 2
yes
I will try to round it now
one second
wait
no
I will say one second
okay here you go
x: 0 would be bellow the x axis
hello?

Hello 👋 I’ve got a linear algebra problem, just looking for help on where I went wrong on my homework problem, thanks.
You probably messed up somewhere in the algebra
For the set
Det
i cross referenced it with symbolab and its still the same result, are my entries wrong for (x-3)(x+4)(x+1)-(-2)(1)
I’m noticing u prematurely changed signs
Idk if that does anything weird
It would seem the algebra is correct
Thought the same thing then I did this and it got the correct answer so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
@frosty lark Has your question been resolved?
id multiply both sides by (x-3)?
Kookiemon
That’s not part of the determinant calculation though is it?
Wouldn’t you simply multiply your number by the minor and leave it at that
Yes, you sum the product of the diagonals from UL to BR and subtract the sum of the product of the diagonals from UR to BL.
Is this only for characteristic polynomials
You are calculating the determinant of A - λI, so yes.
Ah okay so it’s for that reason I see I see

hi
For what values of p does the vertex of parabola y = $x^2 + 2px + 13$ lie at a distance of 5 from originorigin
Darth Vader
How do i start?
i would try calculating distance by using vertex coordinates
-b/2a and -D/aa
Just one a*
Categorist
Well...
-b/2a = -2p/2 = -p
(-p)²+2p(-p)+13 = p²-2p²+13 = -p²+13
I calculate the first coordinate of the vertex -b/2a and then substitute y(-b/2a)

Im stuck at question 19 for over an hour and i cant find any proper info to help me out
This is how far i can take this before it falls apart
what is the question
How do i get to the answer in the bottom, this is a derivative
you need to take derivative of this?
Chain rule
Yes
Im trying it doesn't work, im missing something
ok so start by writing it in power notation
You shouldn't be differentiating the stuff under the root and leaving it there. You wanna do the power thing like you've done and leave the inside alone, then multiply the whole thing by the derivative of the inside
Using the quotient rule like you did
do it slowly, no need to do everything together all at once
