Is there like a trick to solve these kinds of problems?
Sure.
Sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180.
And the angle for a line is 180 also.
yeah
Use those.
so would it be like (180-128)/2
For?
2 and 1
Sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180.
And the angle for a line is 180 also.
do you understand that
like should I whole triangle add up to 180
yeah
angle 1 = 56
how are you getting 56
so all of the angles = 180 so I subtracted 180 by 68
26
where's 26 coming from
because they also give to 128
it really feels like you're subtracting random things and feeding me random numbers
focus on this only
forget about the existence of the triangle
and apply angle sum on a line is 180°
yeah and in that line you also have 128
yeh...
so wouldn't you subtract 180by 128
yeh...
to get 1
you would
well what are you getting for "1" when doing that
I get 52
yes
when subtracting 180by 128
now that you have two angles in your triangle you can apply
Sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180.
to determine the third angle
the combination of this gives the exterior angle theorem
yes, would prefer you use the word angle or "" to distinguish from the numbers 1 and 2
is it related to this question
no

What is a simple equation that would rise exponentionally from (x=0, y=0) to (x=255, y=∞)?
~Martin
and then change the denominator
for a vertical asymptote, we want the denominator to be 0
you want that at x=255
so x-255=0 for x=255
so:
$\frac{1}{x-255}$
~Martin
~Martin
~Martin
~Martin
so we subtract that from our fraction
so we get:
$f(x)=\frac{-1}{x-255}-\frac{1}{255}$
~Martin
note that this does not look pretty though xD
Yeah, is there a way to alter the slope?
hmmm
yes there is
you can change the nominator
for example
$f(x)=\frac{-1000}{x-255}-\frac{1}{255}$
~Martin
I did this, maybe there's a more concise way to write it in one function?
yes you could just do -1/255 instead of -f(0)
oh
oh i made a mistake
it is not 1/255
it is 1000/255
$f(x)=\frac{-1000}{x-255}-\frac{1000}{255}$
~Martin
the nominators are the same
you could also simplify it into one fraction
but that doesn't really make it prettier
$f(x)=-\frac{200000}{51(x-255)}$

Plug in 0 for x, y, and z
I get confused
Tomorrow is my grand test and I mix up all concepts
What do you get
Look at this question I have solve it but I can't understand how provide reason that it is defined on given points
You should know that the domain for $\ln{(a)}$ is $a>0$, where $a$ is the argument of the natural log function
Domain restrictions. Check those for your function.
Umbraleviathan
Can you further explain it
If you have time
Quite literally here
Yeah umbraleviathan did a good job imo.
Gameing
Hmm
It's means that output of function after putting value must not be zero
Then I can say that it's defined on that points
Like if you're doing f(x, y) stuff, you should know your domains for special functions
You can quite literally say that $\left[\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}\right]_{x,y,z=0,0,0}=0$
Umbraleviathan
Since 0 doesn't fall within the a > 0 domain, the natural log goes undefined
Oh alright
Okay!!!!
Thank you so much

Hello guys, can someone help me with this inequality? I need to use the fact that they are lengths of a triangle's sides somehow, but the only thing that I get from that fact is that I can use the triangle inequality or the Cebasev inequality
this looks more like an olympiad math problem
It's the first exercise in my manual💀
It's from 2004 so the problems are indeed harder than in newly made math books🤔
@scarlet oriole Has your question been resolved?

When you multiply 1/sqrt2 by sqrt2/sqrt2 you get sqrt2/2
yes
Multiplying by 1 gives the same thing
cos pi/4 = sqrt2/2 = 1/sqrt2
so its just different notation?

Hello, I am looking for help factoring the following Cubic Trinomial. I understand factoring generally, and can do most easily but this one confuses me given the wording and all...
My 1st step was to remove the x to make it x((-x^2)+4x+1), and set that to equal zero
At that point I have isolated one x and the other part is a quadratic, but using the quadratic formula here wouldn't reach the same end as the question seems to ask for.
(x-4) is already a factor of P when P=4 right?
Yes.
Are you familiar of polynomial long division?
But the question says to set the equation to zero first.
No I am not, feel free to explain or link me something related.
Never mind then. Didn't see the zero part
If I look at a graph of the equation (on Desmos or any alternative), P is 4 at three spots which i could fill in as the answers, but I just want to understand how I could get the answer algebraically
I would just do (-x^3 + 4x^2 + x)/(x-4) but the question is looking for some other method I guess
Anyway it's an honor to serve you Mr President
Thank you, you are a true patriot.
I just realized I'm allowed to use a graphing calculator, basically I was overthinking it
That's usually why I get questions wrong lmao. Tysm though.

So I was watching this 3Blue1Brown video about colliding blocks computing pi and came across something I don't understand. How can he conclude, that the tan() of theta is 1/10 if he just knows the slope of the orange line? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsYwFizhncE&t=699s

Because tan = opp/adj
I was gonna ask why he knows opp or adj but I just noticed that its just the definition of it but turned 90° counterclockwise, so that's why I didnt realise lol tyty @wary stream

✅
actually, shouldn't the blue line be called rise and the purple one run? @wary stream
because if you turn it 90°, it goes "up" by the blue line and "right" by the purple one
Look at in reference to the angle
Since tan = opp/adj
The blue line is opp, and that's the run
Oh I was thinking that you had to turn the graphic for some reason but it makes sense, the purple line is up if you dont turn anything
just me being used to lines going kinda bottom left to top right

could someone provide me with a generalized way of converting cartesian to polar in R^n with a proof?
why R^n? what's polar coordinates in R^4?
For R^3, it's just cylindrical coordinates, but since z doesn't change, it's essentially the same
i mean spherical
hyperspherical for higher dimensions
polar->spherical->hyperspherical or however it's called
with one radius and n-1 angles
In mathematics, an n-sphere or a hypersphere is a topological space that is homeomorphic to a standard n-sphere, which is the set of points in (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space that are situated at a constant distance r from a fixed point, called the center. It is the generalization of an ordinary sphere in the ordinary three-dimensional space...

why can you assume FH is a line segment here?
because it's a segment of a line? lol
if angle GJH is 89 degrees then it wouldn’t be a line segment, right?
if it wasn't a line segment, then what you are trying to prove is false. So I guess it's a reasonable assumption
do you accept that GI is a line
hmm I guess not? if we had another right angle then maybe
so for these types of problems how do I know if it’s “close enough” to assume something?
how about this: can you find a shorter path between F and H?
I mean if the angle is 89 degrees then there would be a slightly shorter path
aka a straight line
you don't, it's a bad question - it should definitely be stated in the question. If it was way off 90 deg, then it's clear that FI can never be the same length as IH, so it's necessary here to have that to be a line
and the way it's drawn suggests that its a straight line
oh ok I guess that makes sense
the question should say something like "given a quadrilateral with diagonals intersecting at J as drawn below..."
yeah you’re right, maybe I’m trying to analyze this problem too closely
yeah, at this level, if it looks straight, it probably is
i dont think they will try to trick you too badly
okay thanks
yeah this isn’t my problem, someone else had posted it to another help channel
and I was written off as a troll for asking that question lol
ah i see

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the correct solution is supposed to be $2250.88
Where's the proof for this answer? Because your work is correct
P(1+r/n)^(nt)
the solution at the end of the worksheet, but I can double check
That's the formula that was used. They just broke up the formula into parts
Is this a different equation?
Oh ok
No you did it right
But this is just a more direct formula
Okay I see
If everything looks right, then maybe it's a problem with the book

how would you solve ln(3-x) = 0
,calc log(3-2)
Result:
0
show where it says this is the answer
also show the original question
okay
it says i need to calculate the yellow surface
g(x) = ln(3-x)
They're integrating along the y axis
Thus the different bounds
Based on the π though
I suspect you're not just "calculating the surface"
i should finde g(x) = 0 right?
yeah along the y axis
^^
Anyways, you're trying to find where the line crosses the x axis, but you should be trying to find where the line crosses the y axis
You're integrating w.r.t. y, not x

Use the function to find the preimage of w.
T(v1 , v2) = (v1 + v2 , v1 - v2)
w= (3,19)
I have tried:
T(3,19) = (3+19 , 3-19) = (22, -16)
v1 + v2 = 22
v1 - v2 = -16
2(v1) = 6
v1 = 3
v2 = 19
Correct answer: v1 = 11 , v2 = -8.
Which part am I doing incorrectly?
You're computing the pre-image of (22, -16)
I have added the two functions together to find v1 and v2?
You are computing T(w), not T^-1(w)
Or actually you computed T(w) and then found the preimage of T(w)
I dont quite understand. sorry
The problem asks you to find the preimage of w not T(w)
in other words
T(v1, v2) = w
You want to find v1 and v2
yep!

I am completely lost on how to even solve this
@covert glade Has your question been resolved?
your 120/x is correct: this represents the amount of fabric each student has before the new members join
now, how much fabric does each student have after the new members join?
yes!
and then we also know that two more students join right, so the new number of members is x+2
so the amount of fabric they have at the end per student is also equal to 120/(x+2)
Therefore, (120/x) - 5 = 120/(x+2)
Do you see how I got that @covert glade

coordinates? sorry im new to this
I just tried using pythagoras to find p based on counting
then find q
so i got root 20 and root 37 for p and q
did you try to calculate |R| as -|P| + 2|Q|??
you know that's not how this works at all right
i do not
you're supposed to calculate the vector R itself, then take its length
the textbook doesnt really go over it it just assumes i know how to do this
so your teacher and your textbook never taught you anything at all about vectors or how vector addition works, yet you are now expected to do this problem?
Yes i am taking a physics class in university, i did not do any vectors in high school
weird
i think you'd benefit from going to khan academy for a crash course in vectors
Will do thanks
without that you'll get nowhere in physics
I mean i know about
forces along x and forces along y
use those to find the force youre looking for
but in terms of raw vectors without numbers i never used this stuff
vector P is (4, 2) and vector Q is (1, -6)
so -P + 2Q = (-4 + 2*1, -2 + 2*(-6) ) = (-2, -14)
and then find the length with pythagoras measuring from the origin?
yes
i see, very cool thanks Ann
sorry one last question, why is the negative sign not being multiplied to the 2
-4 + 2*1 = -2 but -4-2 = -6
see what i mean?
i know youre right i just dont understand because if i were to do this problem again
no, i don't see what you mean.
-P = (-4, -2)
2Q = (2, -12)
-P + 2Q = (-4 + 2, -2 - 12)
OHH
I thought you were adding the x and y
but youre adding the two x and the two y
i fail to see why you'd want to add together the x-component of P and the y-component of P

Is there any therom or postulate or any proof name to summarize that perpendicular lines form right angles?
perpendicular doesn't have another meaning though
true
but if i wrote definition of perp lines
that would imply
the m of whatever angle is 90
does that show its a right angle?
What's your definition of perpendicular?
well
according to my teachewe
*teacher
the definition of perp angles = the measure of the angle = 90 degrees
Okay, what's your definition of a right angle?
It would count

@tacit arch sorry for the ping but I just found something he said if u is x^2+5 du will be 2x which can cancel 4x and x^2+5 can you explain how?
I just dont get the 2 * du part
Have you learned derivatives yet?
yes
So if u = x^2+5, what's the derivative of u wrt x
wrt?
oh
right. so use that in 2 * 2x dx
wdym?
i still dont get it
@tacit arch you explain 1 more time
it's just algebra from here
oh
can you go through this with me
@cedar field Has your question been resolved?
you can treat du and dx as variables
then you solve for dx in terms of du
and then change the dx in the integral to that

Please help with this question, not sure how to approach it.
Q) Four times the sum of the first 2 terms of an infinite geometric progression is equal to the limiting sum.
Determine the possible values of the common ratio.
get some notation in there
perhaps you could call the first term of your GP a and its common ratio r
Yeah get that, tried solving for 4 x Sum of first 2 terms = Limiting sums
but then im getting a and r
have you actually written down an equation that says this?
yeah
show your equation then
input the formulas
i strongly suspect you may have messed it up
well
that is definitely one way to go about this
even though personally i would've liked to see you write $4(a + ar) = \frac{a}{1-r}$
Ann
because, you know. it's two terms. it's easier to write out their sum explicitly than to chug along with the formula
but no matter
can you now show your work from this?
noted
thanks for the help nonetheless

no, $x^2+x^3 \neq x^5$

sutherland, and you need some baisc real analysis knowledge
Sutherland?
hold on i think this goes better in #books-old
ah nvm i don't have perms for that
i do have a pdf on hand tho
it's where i learned topology from so i can vouch for it

hello
I am trying to learn about discrete mathematics
And in the text
With these symbols, the principal and return after n years, denoted by S, can be expressed as S = A(1 + I) + A(1 + I)2 + ... + A(1 + I)n . As well known, this S can be put into a more compact form by first computing S - (1 + I)S as S = A ( (1 + I)n + 1 - (1 + I) ) / I .
This is said
But for me it is not well known why the first statement can be made more compact into S - (1 + I)S
Which steps are taken?
$$S = A(1+I)+A(1+I)^2+\dots+A(1+I)^n$$
$$(1+I)S = A(1+I)^2 +A(1+I)^3+\dots+A(1+I)^{n+1}$$
秋水
then
$$(1+I)S - S = A(1+I)^{n+1}-A(1+I)$$
秋水
yes
subtract two equations
But I dont understand how the right side ends up the way it does
A(1+I)^{n+1}-A(1+I)
they have the same part
$$A(1+I)^2+A(1+I)^3+\dots+A(1+I)^n$$
秋水
so when you subtract two equations, you get
$$A(1+I)^{n+1}-A(1+I)$$
秋水
But what do you subtract exactly?
Mr N
Mr N
?
$$(1+I)S-S$$
$$=(A(1+I)^2 +A(1+I)^3+\dots+A(1+I)^{n+1})-(A(1+I)+A(1+I)^2+\dots+A(1+I)^n)$$
$$=A(1+I)^{n+1}-A(1+I)$$
秋水
then you get
$IS = A(1+I)^{n+1}-A(1+I)$
秋水
so you get S
Aha
Because we divide it
Alright got it
So
(1+I)S - S = IS?
Yes
Sorry
Thank you
🙏

How to prove this if a + b + c = 0
oh sorry, yeah misread
expand LHS
dw i thought that too at first XD
pls ignore 😁
But it should be true
秋水
expand LHS and go from there
a + b + c in this case = 4 not 0
but if u did -2 ,1 ,1 or 2, -1, -1 it'd work cos of the squares and 4th powers
so 2(a^2b^2 + a^2c^2 + b^2c^2) = 0?
i think this can't be zero, otherwise the LHS is just a^4 + b^4 + c^4, whereas the RHS is twice that
oh oops
a^2+b^2+2ab=c^2
my bad, my turn to misread
so 2(a^2b^2 + a^2c^2 + b^2c^2) = a^4 + b^4 + c^4
that should be true then
guys I think I found a solution
i verified the equation using three random numbers so it's obviously true by the "it holds for three random numbers" theorem

Can anyone help me with this?
I am supposed to find a derivative of the inverse of each of the following function
What have you tried?
😂
Find the inverse first then take the derivative.
Isn’t that what your question was?
$$y=x+\frac{1}{x}$$
$$\frac{d}{dy}(y) = \frac{d}{dy}(x+\frac{1}{x})$$
$$1 = \frac{dx}{dy}-\frac{1}{x^2} \frac{dx}{dy}$$

can someone help me with this, im not sure how to use combinations/permutations to solve this
Find out how many three-digit integers are a multiple of 6
@stable night Has your question been resolved?
Theres an easy way to do this. The number of multiples of 6 leq 999 is floor(999/6)
leq is less than equals to?
sorry, i dont get how this gives me the answer
like i dont get the intuition
Can you write out what the answer is in words? What does it mean to find the probability of an event occuring?
999/6 is the number of multiple of 6 from1-999 then u can minus with 99/6 which is from 1-99, then u should get from 100-999
so i want to find positive three-digit integers from 100-999
so 999/6 gives me multiples of 6, like 6 * 1, 6 * 2... oh wait i see it now
ohhhh righttt
okay

I know that the equation in #1 was not valid but how di prove it? any tips?
if it's not valid, you don't need a general proof, just a single counterexample is enough - plug some numbers in that satisfy the usual kinematic equations
another way is you could plot velocity against time and try to find out what the area under the graph should be
something like this
so I have to integrate it somehow?
Okay Ill try that thank youuu
that or split it into a triangle on top of a rectangle

How can you get the anti derivative of $$2^x$$
Cheese Grater
Is there a specific formula?
yeah n^x => (n^x)/(ln(n))
If you're not interested in using a prememorized formula, you can also write 2^x as e^(ln(2^x))
This is how the formula is derived, basically

How to take the first derivrative from this without using the formual?
like what would I move and how
woops wrong question
this is essentialy (4-x)^1/2
without using formula? wdym
by def.?
i duno how u call it
like
if there was a 5 in front
we would multiply the 5 with 1/2
and then reduce 1n from the coefficient
right?
but since there is no number there
what hsould I do
and what will happen with the bracket
Use chain rule?
we did not learn it yet
Modus
were learning it tomorrow
?
yues this
we did this today
tomorrow we're doing the chain rule
but i know there is an easier way of finding this out
so i dont have to do the algebra
for a whole page for it
u know?
I don't think so it's "easier" way, the only thing which comes to my mind is definition of derivative
so, essentially
if you know it
would we just multiply 1/2
can you teach me actually
im curious now lol
i want to know htis
is it too much?
it's basically chain rule
generally that rule would work if we had sqrt(x)
or sqrt(x+4)
or something like that
you can google it, but I don't think it's such a great idea, especially since you're going to learn this soon
i see
thank you
i will look through it on youtube bro

im doing 1 - P(X=1) to solve this question but im getting the wrong answer
can someone explain why it's incorrect?
if you show your work someone can correct it
oh..
i thought P(x=1) was the summation of all probabilities less or equal to x=1
so i thought 1-P(x=1) would work
nah P(X=1) is just the probability of X equal to 1
i think i was mistaking it for what the binomial table provides
cause if u look at the binomial table at x = 1 it gives 0.071
1-0.071 gives the right answer
read the description of the binomial table
yeah i realize now
i thought i was computing the same thing as what was in the binomial table entry
but i wasnt
makes sense now though thanks

I am confused as to how to solve this function. how would i begin to solve? I attached my attempt but I am just confused about the format
You have to look at this
You have to use the function that matches with the interval
if its h(1) you use 16(1-t^2)
and replacing t=1
but if at the h(t) t>1 and =<2.5 you use the (4-4t)(4t-10)
how would I know which function to use for each equation? sorry i am still a little lost
it depends on the t
if 0=<t=<1 you use the top function
but if t is at the interval 1<t=<2,5
you use the function of the bottom

should there be an e^x next to x^2 at the end in the second derivative
you're right
really?

how would I begin to solve this function? i attempted to do some work but I am not sure what to do next
you should do x + 2 >= 0 on the left
because numerator can be equal 0
and on the right it's enough to solve x^2 - 9 != 0 (we can't divide by 0)
so that is the domain? how would i format the answer
solve them then tell me what you got
by solve do you mean input 0 and solve the equation that way?
solve as you did it in your picture
how would I solve the problem? like where do I go next. you said the on the right its enough to solve so did I get the equation right or is there just no further work needing to be done because its equal to 0.
you've solved it correctly but sign should be ≥ not >
on the right you did it wrong, because the denominator can be negative, try calculating value of the function for x = 1, is x = 1 belong to your domain set?
to calculate the value do i input it into the function as a whole?
yeah, sub in x for 1 in any place x appears and see if you get a value
I ended up with 3/-8
so you see x = 1 belong to the domain
you got x > 3
this is why you should do:
$$x^{2}-9 \neq 0$$
Modus
then would I solve that ?
you are trying to find what values of x will make the denominator=0 since you can't divide by 0
oh okay, so i use that equation to find the value of x that makes the denominator 0?
then the value that makes the denominator 0 is my domain right
vice versa, you remove that x's from the domain
because the domain is all the values of that wouldn't make expression undefined
