Ye that’s the hypotenuse right
5
u can draw that?
Yeah?
do it
after finishing go in the end of a line and do a good point
round point
cause we going to expand it
so we can draw the second line
Ok
u done that?
can u pic me
this one?
That’s for 30
Ye
Then for the coords of 45 I got 3.53 for x and y
Then I add them to get my coordinates to find p?

having trouble with the second part of d
ive got up to
-2(p.q)+p.p = -2(r.q) + r.r
now if p=r then it would work but according to the diagram it doesn't look like p=r?
this is the part of the answer that I don't get

@serene karma Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
Yes @dusty flare `
On both
ok so for the first you can use basic trig definitions
sin x = opposite/hypotenuse
do you know that?
No this a brand new unit for me, I had attempted it and had gotten C. for the first and B. for the second but I'm not too sure.
so
$$\sin{x}=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$$
$$\cos{x}=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$$
$$\tan{x}=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$$ with adjacent, hypotenuse, and opposite being the respective sides to the angle.
sdash
so for the first problem, we are given an angle, 27 degrees, a side opposite to that angle, and we want to find the hypotenuse
we use the formula for cos to get
$$\cos{27}=\frac{34}{x}$$
and just rearrange from there to
$$x=\frac{34}{\cos{27}}$$
sdash
So what would be the next step?
Oh sorry I thought you were asking me a different question
do you need help on the second too
it’s basically just using this
Yes please, I think I figured it out but after that I'm not so sure
So the same concept but what would we use for the hypotenuse?
3sqrt5
because it’s opposite the right angle
so using sin we have
$\sin{B}=\frac{3}{3\sqrt{5}} \to \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \to \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$
sdash
but that’s not an answer choice so it must be cos b
There are two cos m<B choices A and C
I personally thought it was B because it was sqrt5
$\cos{B}=\frac{6}{3\sqrt{5}}\to\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\to\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} \text{which is A.}$
sdash
you can’t just guess
you have to actually evaluate it
None of the other ones made sense to me because sqrt5 was what I got when I calculated
I have an idea, but an explanation wouldn't hurt. Originally I calculated sqrt5/5 but then I looked and it wasn't an option but I saw B matched 90% of the criteria so I figured it was a typo.
ah
if it’s not an exact math then you have to try everything
we can’t have a radical in the denominator of a fraction in math so we multiply by $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}$ (which equals 1) to get rid of the radical
sdash
Yes I wrote this down in my notes thank you for helping me and being thorough with the explanations 🙂

Hello, I've seen some different(?) definitions for accumulation/cluster/limit points of a set.
In particular, I'm wondering if these two are equivalent (for a subset ( X ) of the real line).\
Limit point: ( x ) is a limit point iff it is an adherent point of ( X \ {x} ).\
Some lemma: ( x ) is an adherent point iff there exists a sequence contained in ( X ) which converges to ( x ).\
(1) Thus, it may be written as ( x ) is a limit point iff ( x = \lim a_n ) for some sequence ( (a_{n}) ) contained in ( X ), ( a_n \neq x ) for all ( n \in \mathbb{N} ).\
(2) ( x ) is a limit point iff ( x = \lim a_n ) for some sequence ( (a_{n}) ) of distinct elements (or pairwise distinct) contained in ( X ).\
I get the impression that (2) is more restrict than (1). Is it true?\
What are the consequences of this? (if they're not the same).
End
pretty sure (1) is the same as (2), because a sequence verifying (2) can have at most one term equal to x which can be thrown out without affecting convergence
Oh, that makes sense.
If we have a sequence satisfying (1), we can find another which satisfies (2) by throwing out any repeating terms? i.e. since (a_n) converges, we can construct a subsequence (which also must converge) without the repeating terms.
Is then, the only purpose of these two definitions to discard/not consider constant sequences?

Hello guys! I don't really have an idea on how to prove that a system has no real solutions. I know I can graph them for example and then show they do not have a point of intersection or maybe I could end up with a quadratic and then show that it has only complex solutions. But this problem can't really be solved using this 2 methods.
@scarlet oriole Has your question been resolved?

@scarlet oriole Has your question been resolved?
Which problem are you looking at, 1, 2, or 3
The first system
No, in class we do some simple stuff
It's just for my training
This problem is from a 9th grade manual
yeah I have no idea sorry :( I definitely don't know how 9th graders solve this..
does the manual give any examples for how to solve it?
you could always just graph it on a calculator and see that there's no intersection points but I guess that's not really a proof
I know you can do it using calculus but I'm guessing that's not what the manual wants you to do lol
oh wait actually I have an idea for number three
never mind it doesn't work yeah I'm stumped
Well, no, the manual does not give me solved problems that can help with this. I really don't understand how can a 9th grader solve it tho. I've been looking at it for quite some time now
Yeah, I could graph it, but I think it needs to be solved using algebra
Maybe I could use inequalities to solve it, but I don't know how🤔
What is the weighted version?
I know the AM GM inequality but I've never heard of the weighted version
Hmm, so how can I use that in my problem?
@scarlet oriole all the problems have to be solved using AM-GM
Same method for all
Oh, I understand now. Thanks a lot for the help (to you and to Eric Tao)!
What a nice way of solving it

Another question, how would I evaluate questions like these?
Use sum of first n natural numbers formula
N(N+1)/2
Then decompose each term into partial fractions
alright

how do you get the vert asymptotes from this equation?
3n-1
you can solve it in two ways I'd say
first is
$$\cot \Big(\frac{\pi}{3}(x+1)\Big)=\frac{\cos \Big(\frac{\pi}{3}(x+1)\Big)}{\sin \Big(\frac{\pi}{3}(x+1)\Big)}$$
Modus
Modus
you can solve for "x" now
2nd way is to start from original (not transformed) cotangent
cot(x) has vert asymptotes when x = πn
now just follow the transformations and modify this equation

hello, can someone help me understand how to solve this quadratic equation 5x( x+2 ) -15 ?
Can you post the exact question? Like a screenshot
$5x(x+2)-15$
Scarecrow
is this what the question looks likes?
i was able to do it for the first two
by the greatest common factor
but im confused by the ()
it's a way to write multiplcation
Distribute the 5x, and then use quadratic formula or whatever factoring method you know
like 5x multiple x + 5x multiple 2?
Yes
irenee
i got the discriminant as 14 and when i use the formula -b+√d/2a
it will be like -√2-√14/2

trig identities problem, first i tried getting cos(4x) by cos(4x) = cos(2x)^2 - sin(2x)^2 and i found that cos(2x) = 4sin^4(x) - 4sin^2(x) + 1, i don't know where to go from here (using x instead of theta for convenience)
did you mean cos^2(2x) by any chance?
try simplifying using $$\cos(2x) = 2\cos^2 x - 1$$
Eric Tao (he/him)
and pythagorean identity $$\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$$
Eric Tao (he/him)
that should be enough info
since the answer wants in terms of sine will probably be easier to use cos(2x) = 1-2sin(x)^2 in this case
yes lol
yeah those two identities should be enough to simplify the entire thing
that is how i got that cos^2(2x) = 4sin^4 - 4sin^2(x) + 1
yep so now you need to simplify sin(2x)^2
?
more like make it more complex...
@quaint karma since you already have the answer for cos^2(2x), try using this identity initially
and then all you have to do is simplify and you're done
i need to somehow get b*sin^3(x)
their first step was to say cos(4x) = cos(2x)^2 - sin(2x)^2 so im just following on from that
yes ik it can be done by using one of the other cos double angle formula
b can be 0
what if b=0?
no, i think d should|| also be 0||
well the issue is that i need to subtract sin(2x)^2 in order to get cos(4x), but i already used the exponent of 2 "cos(2x) = 4sin^4(x) - 4sin^2(x) + 1"
there are 2 ways to deal with the sin(2x)^2
you can either use that sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)
or that sin(2x)^2 = 1-cos(2x)^2
but i can't use cos...
you already know how to simplify cos(2x)^2 into sines though
yes
so if you get it into that form then you are done
thats true but if you do the first method then you will end up with cos(x)^2 which can be simplified to 1-sin(x)^2
and if you do the 2nd method then you have cos(2x)^2 which you have already found out how to write in terms of sin
even though you only want sin in your final answer you may have to introduce some cosines at some points in the working to get to the answer
so i would need to use the half angle identity (sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - cos x)/2)) and then use the half angle identity on cos(2x) = 1 - 2sin x (cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + cos x)/2)), and multiply right?
and then i would get the values i need?
ok
i have run into an issue
it results in 1
somehow i got 4sin^4(x) - 4sin^2(x) for -sin(2x)^2
i don't understand
help
and i just checked wolfram and i said that this was true
also it said that cos(2x)^2 = 4sin^4(x) - 4sin^2(x) + 1 is true

✅
i was using the half angle identity on sin(2x) to get sin x....
wait
that is how i messed up...
wait I'm confused on what you're stuck on
you know that $$\cos(4x) = 2\cos^2(2x)-1$$ and you also know that $$\cos^2(2x) = 4\sin^4(x) - 4\sin^2(x) + 1$$ right
oh.........
oh wait sorry the second equation isn't right lemme fix that
i was trying to solve for sin(2x)^2
Eric Tao (he/him)
since i know cos(2x) is terms of sin i can just use cos(2x) = 2cos(x)^2 - 1
i was trying to use cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2
i think that is how i messed up
ah gotcha, yeah the cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 = 1 is how you get that cos(x)^2 - sin(x)^2 is the same thing as 2cos(x)^2 - 1
oh....
yeah i accidentally use pythagoras lol
so the answer is cos(4x) = 1 - 8 sin^2(x) + 8 sin^4(x)?
yes it is
thank you
no problem!

Hi, for this, may I know how to find the limit for triple integral of x, y and z?
@torn isle Has your question been resolved?
Hi
It will be helpful to use cylindrical polars here
In this coordinate system, the surface z=sqrt(x^2+y^2) becomes just z=r
The enclosed volume has this sufrace below the plane z=4
Therefore we need to let r vary from 0 to 4 to reach the plane
I was thinking don’t change dz first
Then find out the limit of z only use rdrd theta
But the limits of z are from z=r to z=4
Hmm so must change to cylindrical polar at first?
Yes, I think so
Okay nvm, let me think how to change first
Ok

wondering if the answer for this question is wrong
What's wrong
is that graph incorrect
?
so would it not just be a series of points at integers along the x axis
Why is it undefined
because would it be negative or positive
Plug in 1.5 in -2^x
online cas calc does not make a graph either
I see
I think i misunderstood
would you agree with my previos points for f(x) = (-2)^x
This?
no but on your sketch if you included the negative sign in the bracket, I don't believe it would sketch
only real for the x integers
,w (-2)^1.5
HOW
no way
ohhh, imaginary
there we go, perhaps it can only be sketched on the complex plane
Yeah idk if it’s continuous in real, correct me if I’m wrong

angle ABE does not look like a right angle.
so the pythagorean theorem does not apply like you tried to.
also... the problem statement appears to list the measure of angle ABO, but i see no point named O on the diagram
what's up with that?
i think that says ABD
hmm, so what should i use?
the first thing i'd suggest you do is mark all known measurements on the diagram
ok i did that
@alpine sable this channel is occupied, please open your own. #❓how-to-get-help
Ok
@wind bloom are you familiar with the law of cosines?
no
i havent learned that yet
yeah
so in fact
ABE is a right triangle, so the pythagorean theorem does apply, but you misidentified which angle is the right angle.
oh.
...hang on what the hell
?
the problem appears to be inconsistent
wdym?
considering triangle AEB, the given lengths imply that cos(ABE) = 3/4, but cos(55°) is about 0.58, not 0.75 as it would appear
i dont think im supposed to use trig here bc my teacher didnt teach it to us yet
ok so your teacher did not teach you trig but they're hitting you with angle measures that make no sense and you're supposed to just eat it up?
i guess so
i mean everyone else in my class got it correct except for me
by using the pythagorean theorem
i mean ok like
we CAN just ignore the angle inconsistency
and just apply the pythagorean theorem
and the "angles in a triangle sum to 180°" thing
i guess without trig we will not run into contradictions anyway
AE is not a side of the rhombus
again
do apply the pythagorean theorem to ABE
but keep in mind it's E that is the right angle
sure
ok

I don't know how to start
what do you know about the velocity of a particle when it is just about to change direction?
v = 0?
So I should find x'(t)?
yep
correct
What do I do next?
you already told me that when the particle is changing direction v=0 so you can set cos(t/2) * 1/2 = 0 and solve for t

Do matrices $A,B \in Z \backslash 2Z$ exist, so that AB - BA = $I_n$ is true?
Levens
So I've proven that AB - BA = I_n is not true for a field with natural numbers, but what makes Z\2Z different?
Is that supposed to be A,B with entries in Z\2Z?
yes
can you show your proof?
er, wait.
do you mean Z\2Z or Z/2Z?
sorry yeah the second one
right
so can you show your proof that AB - BA = I is impossible?
it may not require the characteristic of the base ring to be 0 at all
and carry over to Z/2Z word-for-word
for my proof i basically took the trace of AB - BA and the trace of I_n and since the trace of BA and the trace of A are equal to each other, you can say that the trace of AB - BA is 0 which should mean that the trace of I_n should be 0 too but it can't, since its always n
can't say rn
perhaps the slightly painful route of writing AB-BA entry by entry could be fruitful
oh yeah
such matrices do exist
$\bmqty{0&0\1&0}$ and $\bmqty{0&1\0&0}$

does this - imply to n^2 and 3 ?
bc im trying to rewrite it to
(a-b)*(a+b) / (a+b)
so would b be n^2 - 3 ?
the minus does not have an impact to n^2 and 3 ?
b_n = sqrt(....) - n^2 - 3
equal to
b_n = sqrt(....) - (n^2 - 3) ? I guess not ?
only this would be equal
b_n = sqrt(....) - (n^2 + 3)
so by actual b is n^2 + 3 ?

$(\frac{3}{4}(\log_2{x})^2+\log_2{x}-\frac{5}{4})\cdot\log_2{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
QuantumBee
considering $\log_2{x}=t$
$\newline \frac{3t^3}{4}+t^2-\frac{5t}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$
QuantumBee
$3t^3+4t^2-5t-2=0$
QuantumBee
how do i go further?
probably best if you just google it
maybe you know it under a different name
but it tells you that if x is a rational root of a polynomial with integer coefficients then there aren't that many options for x
and then you can check them by hand
,w solve [3t^3+4t^2-5t-2=0]

or do that
im not allowed to use this in exam
how do i solve it by hand
by factoring?
i guess it doesn't work here
like I said rational root theorem
possible rational roots = $\frac{\pm{1},\pm{2}}{\pm{1},\pm{3}}$
QuantumBee
bad notation but yes
then you can go through these
best bet is to start with the integers
is there any other method by which i can solve the equation?
well you could learn the cubic formula
but I wouldn't recommend it
by the "law of nice questions" the rational root theorem is hopefully enough

perhaps @vale wigeon can help
but however im not asked to find the roots of the equation
the answer is just the number of solutions which is 3
I don't know if there is a nice number to check the number of solutions of a cubic like there is for quadratics with the discriminant
I guess maybe there is with the cubic formula
if the questions asks for you to factorize a cubic its likely that one of the roots is as simple as +-1, 2, 1/2
if you find one root, you can divide the cubic by x - a to get a quadratic and factor it normally

part b
looks right
ovvv
if the triangles are similar, and any of the sides are the same length, that means all are the same length
yes
i'm not sure if there's some goofy terminology you're forced to use to get the right answer but that's the logic in normal words
what is
to watch a video on it
ok listen
yes
it's asking you why DE and AB are the same length. if they're the exact same triangle, they have to be the same length, right?
we already proved they're identical
oh wait
i read it wrong, that means parallel lol
oh
i thought it meant similar
but i got confused
wait im so freaking confused isnt || similar
no no
oh or is it
a || b means a is parallel to b
|||
the 3 stacked lines means identical. 2 vertical lines means parallel
can't lie im not sure. it doesn't really specify whether AE is a line (if it were it'd be easy to prove). i mean they could be identical triangles and ACB could be tilted, and then AB and DE aren't parallel
@ the helpers rq
<@&286206848099549185>
What
help
We know ABC is congruent to EDC
yes
yes
We know that DC = BC as the sides are given. Same goes for AC = EC. And angle C is vertically opposite which means it should be equal in both sides. So that's SAS
Now coming to part b
We proved ABC is Congruent with EDC so shouldn't it automatically mean AB || DE?
since the triangles are congruent, we can consider the line DB that joins the lines DE and AB, and since the 2 triangles are congruent, the angles EDB and BAE are equal, therefore since alternate interior angles are equal, DE || AB
the same argument can be made for the other line that joins DE and AB that is AE
im confused can u make a drawing
What he means is that
Congruent means the two triangles are same.
The line DB is joining the lines DE and AB
Do you understand till here?
yes
Then he clarified the angles EDB and BAE are equal
First look at EDB alone then BAE
As separate lines
Get it?
Their angles are equal
Nice drawing lol
Better than mine 
Now since alternate interior angles of the triangles are equal therefore DE || AB

How can I approach this problem?
find r as a function of V, then use the chain rule
it's 4/3, not 27
the derivative of x^1/3 is 1/3 * x^(-2/3), so I don't think your r' is correct
Why are you solving for r
That defeats the whole point of differentiating implicitly
What should I be doing?
The equation
27π?
yeah that also works
Yes, hold on
it's faster I think
V' = 4/3π * 3r^2
I don't know
Remember that r is just short for "r(t)"
The radius is a function of our time parameter
r = 27πt
Nope
Can you find the derivative of sin(x)^3 using the chain rule
Theres the problem
Recall what chain rule actually is
3(sin(x))^2 * cos(x)
Yes
Let me rewrite that
3(sin(x))^2 * sin'(x)
Now can you find the derivative of:
r(t)^3
But I don't know what's r(t)
Doesn't matter
3r(t)^2 * r'(t)
Yee
Now plug in known values and solve for r'
27π = 4/3π 3(3)^2 r'?
If you can solve 5=3x then this equation should be no problem now
Sure
Draw a diagram
Oh wait
I think I might know a shortcut
(60x3, 0) and (0, 80x3)
These are the two points after three hours
I just need to find the slope?
Not quite
The pythagorean equation is quadratic in 2 variables
Finding the slope of a line is meaningless
Okay
Ok
Let's let A and B be our displacements
Then A' and B' will be our velocities
What are A and B at t=3?
(80x3)^2 + (60x3)^2 = √Ans
Lol
Let's back up for a sec
We have a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (0,80), and (60,0)
What is the length of its hypotenuse
80^2 + 60^2 = c^2
100
Yes
So let's take our equation relating A B and c
A^2 + B^2 = c^2
Take the derivative
2A + 2B = 2C?
Chain rule
2A * (A') + 2B * (B') = 2C * (C')?
Lol
Isn't it 60x3 and 80x3?
Our values of A' and B' at t=3 are 60 and 80
Our value of C is 100
So we take:
2AA' + 2BB' = 2CC'
2(180)(60) + 2(240)(80) = 2(100)C'
Ohhh
What happens if the triangle/diagram wasn't a right triangle?
We wouldn't be able to use pyha
Law of cosines ig
Ohh okie
Thats the general pythagorean theorem
Also, shouldn't 2(100)C' be 2(300)C'?
Yeah
Btw, a bit of a personal question, but how did you get to be this good at math?
I tend to forget 50% of the things I learned last year

x^y=2
x^t=16
what is x^(y-1)
This system of equations is underdetermined
yea idk what to do
answers are -18, -4 1/8 8 and 32
Are we to assume integer values
idk
imma just so 1/8
since it cant be negative
and x^y is already less than 8 and 32
is that ok
@tight locust
tried that
but
how u gonna get y-1
cause that would be x^y/x^1
yet we cant find x^1
Is it an mcq or something?

what qualifies as impressive
and are new findings necessary
Like in school?
No, usually not
what ive done is written a programme on dsmos to analyse something and talked about how i went about creating it etc etc and it a useful visual aid in visualising a conjecture
is that good enough

for this limit i divide the numerator and denominator by x^2
to get
(1 + sinx/x^2 )/ (1+ cosx/x^2 )
from here
i tried evaluating the limit of (1 + sinx/x^2 ) as x approaaches infinity first
here's where i'm stuck
i know sinx is always between 1 and -1
so would the sinx / x^2 go to zero or a negative no.?
We’ll think
1/infinity
And -1/infinity
They both approach 0
So sin(x) /x^2 and cos(x) /x^2 terms turn to 0 as x approaches infinity
hmm i see i see
alright thanks appreciate it

In the sixths step, how do they get rid of the anti derivative if that last step is the same as the 1st
That is finding the anti derivative of sin(3x)cos(5x)
@livid raven Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
treat the integral of sin(3x) * cos(5x) dx as a variable in that equation
they brought it over to one side
and then they divided by (1 - 9/25)
(also this is a terrible way of solving this problem, if you want to know a better way, look up the product to sum formula)

ok so maybe this is too simple for this discord. Our store has 197 reviews and an average 3.6 rating. How many 5 stars do we need to be 4.5?
so say you need $n$ more reviews, at 5 stars each
jan Niku
you want to solve $\frac{ (197)(3.6)+5(n) }{ n + 197} = 4.5$
jan Niku
got it
355 5 star ratings needed to get us to 4.5 apparently
75 to 4.0, more achievable
