n -> infty
and this frac becomes -1 ?
Nice
thanks a lot
I am confused why we can now basically set the 1/n fractions to 0, but not earlier
like here
I guess you first need 1 fraction
@merry vault Has your question been resolved?
yeah what does that mean?
just that it's impossible to get a result right now?
at the end you will find it undefined so we need to find another method to find the limit

question
when do we put the postive/negative sign
is this correct ?
or do we only use the sign when defining a variable
This doesn't seem correct
this ?
MathIsAlwaysRight
This is correct, if you define variable X to be + or - square root of 36

The kilo price for blackcurrants is 75, while the kilo price for sugar is 15. We are going to mix blackcurrants and sugar to make blackcurrant jam with a kilo price of 51. How much sugar is in the jam?
I have made up a formula for solving this:
b = berries
s = sugar
(75b + 15s) / (b + s) = 51
(75b + 15s) = 51(b + s)
75b + 15s = 51b + 51s
24b = 36s
makes the ratio of amount of berries and sugar in the jam equal to
24:36
this is also equal to
4:6
which means that the amount of sugar is 60% of the amount of the total jam
this is kinda wrong considering the equation:
0,4(75) + 0,6(15) = 39 and NOT 51
i kind of do not see what i have done wrong here, either, so i'm confused
no first is that it is (kilo of bc)(price of bc)/kilo + (kilo of sugar)(price of sugar)/kilo = (kilo of bc + kilo of sugar)(total price)
@tall arrow
do you mind clarifying a bit?
so the bc is 75$ per kilo or 75$/kg
we need to multiply kg there to cancel it right?
the same can be done for sugar
15$/kg
(kg of sugar )15$/kg + (kg of berry)75$/kg = (kg of both products)(price of jam/kg of jam)
yeah i seem to kind of get more confused on this one
i believe it would be great to show the correct way of solving this, so that it possibly makes the explanation above clearer
how about u try it first
this is what i've tried
Let's say the kilo of ur sugar is 10 kilos
sure
ok lemme show it to u
u can also do it ur own while im doing it
AHHAH we cannot do 10 for sugar, its actually too low
Wait lemme do something
for reference, the answer is 40%, but let's assume we don't know that
i've seen the book for the answer, but i would rather like to know how it was achieved
well let's then get solving
okay, but what made you come to that conclusion
try and check it
use the one u used here
ah don't forget the kilos for the right side
yep that's correct
i'm guessing you've inputted a random kg of sugar amount, which in this case was 10, into the equation and then you've gotten the amount of blackcurrents
Let's assume that we mix x kilograms of blackcurrants with y kilograms of sugar to make a total of 1 kilogram of blackcurrant jam. We know the kilo price of blackcurrants and sugar, and we want the kilo price of the jam to be 51. We can set up the following equation:
75x + 15y = 51
We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 3:
25x + 5y = 17
We also know that the total weight of the jam is 1 kilogram, so we have:
x + y = 1
We can solve this system of equations by using substitution. Rearranging the second equation, we get:
y = 1 - x
Substituting this into the first equation, we get:
25x + 5(1 - x) = 17
Simplifying and solving for x, we get:
20x = 12
x = 0.6
So we need 0.6 kilograms of blackcurrants in the jam. We can find the amount of sugar needed by using the equation y = 1 - x:
y = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
Therefore, we need 0.4 kilograms of sugar in the jam.
i believe that's also a correct way of doing it
and that method also works
They both give the same answer, so I belive I understood it now
Thank you a lot to @silent zodiac and @oak bear, I really appreciate your time

@tall arrow
I think what ur trying to find is the ratio right?
U actually almost got it in ur answer
24b=36 s
The problem is that u didn't equate it
so it would be 24b/36 = s
or 2/3b
2b/3 + b = 1
b = 3/5
and we know that 1-3/5 = 2/5
So s is 2/5
That is the ratio
Ah thats it

Hi all, I am looking for someone very good at math and radio astronomy ideally. It is about horn antenna(s) , calculating angles and ideally estimating power of a radio signal source.Here is the link to the website with all details: thewowsignal.epizy.com
What is known:
- a distant static radio signal source about 1420MHz
- two locations on Earth, both visible to the distant signal source
What needs calculating:
- angles in two locations (between North and a distant radio signal source)
- horn antenna calculations (angles of reflections, gain, etc.)
You may have better luck finding the physics server in #old-network
ok, thanks
Not to discourage you here, but you may not get many people with a physics background
Heck, my degree is in physics and we never covered radio signals more than mentioning they existed
(Or I just forgot it all)
I know, I hope to find a real radio astronomer here on this website
good luck with that
You can always email professors that research radio astronomy. They're giant nerds and love to talk shop
I was infrared astronomy, so can't help. :/
I emailed a few people already, but no response
so, is there any physics forum here?
not specifically but check #old-network

How do you start here?
Have you tried multiplying by the conjugrate?
I don't know what that is
multiply the entire term by sqrt(n^2-8n-10) / sqrt(n^2-8n-10) ?
In this case, it's sqrt(n^2 + 8n + 10) + n + 1
You should get the idea of what a conjugate is from this example

wrt
write it like 10u(-100+100)
wdym
$10(u-10) + 100 = 10u$
Xetrov
you got that from this equation?
no no im trying to understand how you got it cuz im still a little confused
oh
wait u multiplied both sides by u-10?
idk bro idk how you got that
i just replaced the top
the bottom starts 3
stays
$\frac{10(u-10) + 100}{u-10}$
Xetrov
then you'll differentiating a constant and a nice frac
the thing is i dont understand where you got that u-10 +100 from im sorry
ah ok
i thnk im just very tired you might have to make it more obvious
I added a 100 then took away a 100
the reason being I want to factorise the terms 10u and -100 into a 10(u-10)
oh
yeah i dont think i'll be able to do that if i was to be in an exam
if i just wanna differentiate it without doing the method you did
why don't you just simply differentiate the equation using quotient rule
I can't find where she went wrong using product
and im differentiating with respect to time too so its gonna look very messy
you can always write it as dv/dt = dv/du * du/dt
you already have du/dt as -0.15
and using quotient rule you can find dv/du
which would come out to be -100 / (u - 10)^2
how did you do this did you just apply quotient rule
yes
$\frac{\dd u}{\dd t} = -0.15 cm/s$
$\frac{\dd v}{\dd t}= \frac{\dd}{\dd t} \qty(\frac{10u}{u-10})$
differentiating wrt time would make this question more complex
not that much
but why do we even need to differentiate with time when the question is giving a direct hint for a direct approach
wdym by direct approach
i assumed that he didn't see dv/dt = dv/du * du/dt this yet
could you guys also help me with this qn, like what each order of derivative means
let me solve it for you
A is maximum when dA/dx = 0
could you represent this on a graph so i can visualize it
i mean it kinda make sense tho ? 4 square on each side
or should i write (24-2x)(36-2x)
they want the volume
yo did u solve it i wanna see how you do it
could u explain the dv/du and du/dt part
see i just added the du part in dv/dt by
multiplying and dividing dv/dt at the same time with du
did you get it?

hello there i was wondering how the magnitude of this is root 20
shouldn't it be 2 root 5?
they are equivalent
would do you mean by equivalent?
what is equal to what
sorry just a little confuised

Need help with my algebra homework please and thanks
What step are you on?
1. I don't know where to begin
2. I have begun but got stuck midway
3. I got an answer but I'm told it's wrong
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked
5. I have a question about someone else's worked solution
6. None of the above
2
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
so you have |3x-6| = 4 now
Idk what to do with the problem after that part
have you solved absolute value equations before?
Yeah
at this point you would typically write down two linear equations: 3x-6 = 4 and 3x-6 = -4, and solve them...
and take the union of their solution sets
So one positive and a negative problem?
... if you wish to phrase it that way sure
yes
be mindful of when the equation says an absolute value is negative though
those have no solutions
exactly what i warned you not to do...

Where did the x come from?
That may have been a typo (someone correct me if I’m wrong) but the final result is correct, I also got -1/(3 + sqrtx)
I got this
Yep, but you can simplify it further if you multiply numerator and denominator by -1
Since you have (+9 -x) on the top and (-9 + x) on the bottom
Well you can multiply your fraction by -1/-1 and it would still be the same value, since multiplying by -1/-1 is the same as multiplying by 1
Yeah you could say you’re kinda rewording or rearranging things
Oh I get it
I think your answer would be fine too btw
Just letting you know how they got to that final answer
I really don't think so, we would be multiplying by zero in the denominator
Am I doing it right?
That works, you’d end up with 1 / -(3 + sqrtx) but it’s the same result as their answer
Just with the negative in the denominator instead of numerator

,, y''+4y=3cos(2x)
AustinU
I am trying to solve this using the method of undetermined coefficients
I went with guessing
AustinU
because there is a cosine term in the solution
After differentiating this twice and plugging all the values back into the ODE I end up with
0=3cos(2x)
so I think it means my guess was wrong
what do I need to do instead?

I am hmming aswell
?
Let me actually solve this before potentially misleading you
okay
I just am trying to find a particular solution specifically using the method of undetermined coefficients
I thought when there is a cos(bx) in the right side I should guess y=acos(bx)+Bsin(bx)
and then ended up with a bad
My guess is that trivial particular solution needs to be x(A cos(2x)+B sin(2x))
But this is just instinct with no strategy
Possibly, but I don't even want/need the whole solution
right
I meant trivial
Sorry, the wording again
I know how to solve, but forget all the wording
I think this is the approach you need
Okay just verified. That's definitely the right track. I don't remember why this strategy works, but I do remember it's what you need to do in situations like these.

I cant find my error (Work included)
,RCCW
you divided the numerator with x^2 when u divided the denominator with sqrt(x^2)
But dont we use the greatest power in the denominator to divide the numerator in a infinity limit?
if the X in the denominator was X^3, would my greatest power still be sqrt(x^2)? or sqrt(x^3)
also your operations are illegal because you are not multiplying the numerator and denominator uniformly
it would be x^3
Sorry i meant denominator
it would simply be sqrt(x^3) yes and u can see it would be undefined then
it is the absolute value function
it is 1/|x| and for x < 0 the absolute function could be represented as 1/(-(x))
ohh yaa, okay to summarize
A square root in an equation of a limit to infinity has a completely different greatest power then the limit out side of the square root.
Depending if were going from negative infinity or positive infinity we use (picture)

Where am I going wrong with this
"with no additional information" means that the coin might be unfair?
to calculate the set we don't need to know if it's fair or not
to calculate the probability of the set, we do
What’s the difference?
the set is just the outcomes, for example a few of the outcomes in the set look like HHHHTTTTTT, HHTTHHTTTT, TTTHTHHTHT
basically any sequence of ten heads or tails where there are exactly four H's
those outcomes are in the set regardless
but their probabilities depend on whether the coin is fair or not
like if the coin is weighted heavily in favor of H, then getting only four heads out of ten would be unlikely
but if it's a fair coin then it's more likely
Ohhh
So probabilities don’t matter in the case for the set cuz the subsets are just subsets
yep
the possible sequences are the same no matter what their probabilities are
probabilities are numbers that we assign to that set of sequences
yea, i would exclude answer 4 because "with no additional information" probably means "if we don't assume fairness"
and in that case you don't know the probabilities
the rest look fine
Alright thank you so much

I have tried expanding this several times now but I can't seem to get it
I've gotten to root x - 9 / x - 81
I tried multiplying by the conjugates but that doesn't do anything here
You need to take the derivative of that function to find the slope
I'm pretty sure I need to use this formula
to get the slope
then once I have that, then I can get the equation
is this the formula for a derivative ?
You can subb in x=81 and f(x)=sqrtx
Did you do that?
yes
I eventually got root x - 9 / x - 81
and found that multiplying the conjugate doesn't help
For this ur goal would be to remove the numerator
Can you factor the denominator using difference of two squares?
x is the square of sqrt x, and 81 is the square of 9
Now you have the slope, and a point that goes through the linear function, so you can set up a linear equation
oh
wait
So, when I factored, I got 1 / root x - 9
does that look correct?
If yes, we have a problem
ah
Can you show ur work?
You factored it wrong
Do you know how to factor difference of two squares?
$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
jay.
wait
I did do it correctly, but I accidently left ( root x + 9) as (root x - 9)
ok ok
I see
it works now
I have the slope now for the tangent line
Which is...?
1/18
yes
now I use a linear equation
y-y_1 = m ( x - x_1 ) -> y-9 = 1/18 ( x - 81)
y = 1/18 + 9/2

x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 2y -20 = 0, The question wants me to find the center (h,k) and radius, of circle
AustinU
yes thats the equation
i think because x,y are square that means there must be 2 solutions for both x and y
Can I stop you for a moment
yes
We aren't really looking to "solve" for x and y
That equation
will be true for all points of whatever circle it is
that's how the function works
so solving for x and y, won't give us the center
Let me ask you this
Do you know the center and radius of this circle:
AustinU
This is the unit square correct?
Unit circle, but I assume that is what you mean yes
unit circle*
mhm
it starts at (0,0) origin and then extends 1 in every direction
yes
So for a more standard circle, a less simple one, like yours
we can write it like this
,, (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
AustinU
where h and k are the x and y coordinates of the center, and r is the radius
See how it applies even to the unit circle?
h=0, k=0, and r=1
i see
So what we need to do with your equation, is get it into that form
Do you have an idea how we might do that?
the first think im thinking of is that -20 is going to turn into our radius because its is value independent of a variable
i think im going to have to simplify
maybe, but I'll lead you in a different direction
obviously we are going to have to simplify, but we need to do so in a specific way
do you know how to complete the square?
Okay I'll try my best to help you learn it
first we want to group the x and y terms together, so lets rearrange our equation to look like this
AustinU
Stop me in the chat if you ever have a question
okay so far we moved 20 to the other side and re-arranged the variables
AustinU
and we want to rewrite it so it looks like this
AustinU
okay
We need to complete the square to do that
the method is to choose half of the value attached to the x
so in this case 2
so we do (x+2)^2 , (x-2)^2 ?
AustinU
AustinU
and we only wanted the first two terms of that ^
so what might we be able to do
to make them equivalent
make (x+2)^2 equivalent to x^2+4x+4?
no
what do we need to adjust about (x+2)^2
so that it is equal to x^2+4x
^ without the plus 4
because remember in our equation for our circle, we just have x^2+4x
can we subtract 4 from both sides of the equation?
Well we do want to subtract 4
but we don't have an equation
they aren't equal
so it isn't from both sides
but yes that is the point
if we have
(x+2)^2 - 4
then it is equal to x^2+4x
do you see how that works?
so you removed it from the parentheses and changed the sign?
I'll summarize the steps again to make it clearer for you
So just hold on one second
We have x^2+4x In our equation
** We want it to look like (x-h)^2**
We try (x+2)^2
AustinU
AustinU
im trying really hard to understand
feel free to ask me about any part that confuses you
okay so we want to make x^2+4x = (x+2)^2 - 4
yes
i dont understand how we can create that -4 value
👍
Write (x+2)^2 = x^2+4x
Multiply out the (x+2)^2 into x^2+4x+4
and now write below it
x^2+4x+4 = x^2+4x
^ and then you can see that they are not equal
so for all your equal signs
put a cross through it
Now what can you do to the left side, to make it actually equal to the right?
subtract 4
So now write
x^2+4x+4 - 4 =x^2+4x
and instead of erasing both the 4s, because they do cancel eachother out
rewrite what we know x^2+4x+4 is
it is (x+2)^2
and you get
(x+2)^2-4=x^2+4x
and ^ that is actually equal
Okay i think i understand better now
Perfect, because I'm gonna ask you what you think we should try for the y's in a second here
we have in our equation
AustinU
what should we try?
(y+1)^2 -2
Very close actually
double check to see if you need -2
or some other number
the (y+1)^2 is great
-2 is just slightly off
(y+1)^2 -1
and our equation to begin with was
AustinU
So what do you think we should do
I think the next step is to square root the parentheses?
no
or i guess both sides of the equation
no need
the next step is simpler than you think
all we want to do now, is replace what we just found out
so use what we now know we can replace the x's and y's with
and rewrite that equation
the equation with the crown emoji
yes perfect
then combine like terms?
AustinU
For a circle with ^ that equation, the center is (h, k) and the radius is r
25 = 5^2
yup
so radius is 5
and be careful with those ^ negative signs when you are finding out the center of your circle
yeah thats what i was going to ask
how do i make this equation have those negative signs
Well
because i need them to plug this into a graph right?
+2 is the same as -(-2)
No, no need to plug into a graph
Unless your teacher wants you to
oh the question wants me to graph it
no, almost
if it was (x-h) the center is at h
you don't have (x-2)
you have the opposite -> (x+2)
so where is the center
hint: (x+2)=(x - (-2))
if it is the opposite is it (-2,-1)
yes
that is the center
and you have the radius
so all that's left is to graph
okay so i just rewrite the equation
(x-(-2))^2+(x-(-1))^2=5^2
can i write (x+2)^2 same as (x-(-2))^2
Yes you can
perfect
so that's correct
not really…

can some one help me with (ii)
i know im supposed to use tan
tan24.8=55/294-x
It's now just an equation in x
wdym
How wud u solve something like 3 = 2/(1-x)
The x is in the denominator, and it's kinda hard to work with x when it's in the denominator
What can u do to bring it to the numerator
inverse
How
Show me how u wud do it with this
U can't just take x to the other side
so multiply by x?
You have $3=\frac{2}{1-x}$
SilverSoldier
oh thats what you mean
If u had $3=2-x$, then you can take $x$ to the other side like you did
SilverSoldier
sorry i thought you had that one lol
Well wasn't it something like this u meant when u wrote this
SilverSoldier
so then its -3x=2/1
No
U can't cancel the x in the denominator with the x in the numerator
Coz there's a 1-x
Only if -x was a factor of the denominator can you cancel it like that
The denominator doesn't look like (-x) × (something else)
It must look like this for you to be able to cancel out the -x from the top and bottom
oh i see
For example, say you had $\frac{10}{3+2}=2$. You can't multiply both sides by $3$ and say $\frac{10}{3+2}\times3=\frac{10}{2}=2\times3=6$
SilverSoldier
Clearly 10/2 is not 6, it is 5
yeah i see now
If u want, you could have multiplied both sides by (3+2)
The whole thing
$\frac{10}{3+2}\times(3+2)=\frac{10}{\cancel{3+2}}\times\cancel{3+2}=10=2\times(3+2)=2\times5=10$
SilverSoldier
so can i multiply by (294-x)
$\frac{10}{3+\cancel{2}}\times\cancel{2}$ and $\frac{10}{\cancel{3}+2}\times\cancel{3}$ are NOT valid
SilverSoldier
Yes
Yes
No
Everything inside those brackets must be multiplied by tan24.8
Before you can move them about
$2(5+2)=2\times7=14$.
This does not mean
$2(5)=14-2=12$
SilverSoldier
2×5 is clearly not 12
i see
But $2(5+2)=2\times5+2\times2=14$
SilverSoldier
And $2\times5=14-2\times2=14-4=10$
SilverSoldier
Is valid
You must expand the brackets before u can move terms inside brackets to the other side
Well tan24.8 is just some number
Yes this is one term in the expansion
xtan24.8
That's another term
so
Tan24.8(294-x)
294tan24.8-xtan24.8
Exactly 👍
but what about the 55?
That'll still be there on yje right hand side
So far we only have been simplifying the left hand side
We had tan24.8(294-x) = 55
294tan24.8-xtan24.8=55
Yes
Yes
And now you just have to get rid of tan24.8 from the right hand side
And isolate x
yes
ahhh so
294tan24.8-55/tan24.8=x
Yes
(294tan24.8-55)/tan24.8=x
I'd put parentheses to make it clearer
$\frac{294\cdot\tan24.8^\circ-55}{\tan24.8^\circ}=x$
SilverSoldier
,calc (294*tan(24.8deg) - 55)/(tan(24.8deg))
Result:
174.96909418559
Yes
😄👍

Stuck with part B
,rotate
use the quotient rule
quotient rule as suggested above
hmm... have you learned product rule yet?
dont think so
ah, I see you have to use the above question to get the answer
so, write (x^2 - x + 1) as suggested above
then divide to get a simplified equation, then differentiate
@latent knoll
oh wait
hang on i think i got an idea
when u simplify before differentiate, u get x+ 1/(x-1)
weird grammar but yeah you need to differentiate what you wrote
ah, cool

hi can someone teach me part c
well everything froom the pan to the two masses must be accelerating at the same rate
yes
in part b you simply find the reaction of mass A to get the answer
i wonder if it is the same for c
part bs answer isnt just the reaction force though
im pretty sure
What forces are on B
ok the answer for part b is just the reaction force of A
Is b moving, if so, find the net force on b
Use the sum of all forces = net force to find the component by the scale-pan
this is the solution according to the mark scheme
as for part c the answer is equal to the overall tension
which is roughly 10 newtons
lets see, cuz im pretty sure i remember this question
AS edexcel mechanics
yep

can someone help me with this question: I'm unsure how to algebraically resolve this. I keep getting to a step where å^2 - b^2 =3/2 ( ab ). Using vector methods to find the equations of the lines passing through ( 2,-1) which are at an angle of 45 degrees, to x +3y + 1 = 0
What are a and b? Also are you interpreting 3/2(ab) as 3/(2(ab)) or (3/2)(ab)? (there isn't an officially correct way to interpret this as far as I know)

tried integrating both equations from intervals 0 to 30 then subtracted their results but i got it incorrect
even adding 125k doesnt help cause it just adds up to 365k
13t + (t^2)/2 was the first integral for birth rate and
5t + (t^2)/4 was the second integral for death rate
12th
how so
i litearlly get b
lmao
before you add 125k
its 465k
for the integral you literally have
I get 240k
Hmm
Error on my part then
Thanks for the help doc

Hi, I'm not able to find the rule to find the nth term in this sequence. I tried to find the difference and then do it, but it's still not working
No, like if the question asks what is the 6th shape, how can I find that?
to find the neth term
