@tall wind Has your question been resolved?
idt you wanted the sum to go to infty here but yea the idea looks fine
yeah, it should be the number of points in P
do you need any help with the other question in the post still?
no I think that comment answered it. If you want you can drop a comment on that post, maybe upvote because you could (might not be allowed to say that)
but yeah, thanks

help pls
some one i rlly need help
what's your question
i just need to know how do like find quicker answers for bigger multiplication sums
like a way to figure it out
Do you have an example?
something multiplied by 1 digit should be able to done mentally
Just know shortcuts. Like 5 x 9 =45 and then tack on two 0s
you should use long multiplication to do 2 digit * 2 digit and greater
this is helping alot thx guys
And googling tricks is helpful too
thx

"Let a and b be two vectors. Find |a-b| knowing that |a|=3, |b|=5 and the angle between a and b is 120º"
I just don't know where to start
Triangle law of vector addition
and is this some identity I'm supposed to memorise or is there somewhere it comes from?

y = (x-7) / (x-2)(x-3) ... can anybody provide easier method to differentiate this function, just a hint would do
Either expand (x-2)(x-3) and quotient rule, or triple product rule would probably help
easier method than what
than differentiating the normal way
what do you consider the "normal" way
cause the normal one will be way too long
show the way you differentiated it
only then can we provide comments about whether there's a better approach
(f(x).g'(x) - g(x).f'(x)) / g(x)^2
missing () to clearly indicate numerators and denominators
also ur ‘ are flipped
also ^
(f(x).g'(x) - g(x).f'(x)) / (g(x))^2
still wrong
urgh whats wrong lol
the terms on the numerator are the wrong way around
ok ( f'(x).g(x) - g'(x).f(x) ) / (g(x))^2
there isn't really anything better than quotient rule here
cause the normal one will be way too long
shouldn't be that long
ok, no options than i guess
its like 3-4 steps

Is Exponential Rule considered a rule for derivatives?
Like power rule, quotient rule, chain rule
like are you asking for a proof of it? idk what the question is
Ya, it involves ln(x)
To find d/dx
This is called the Exponential Rule?
Or is it just Chain Rule?
what difference does it make whether it is "considered" a "rule" or not?
lol I’m just asking to know when I see it what to call it
Chain rule or exponential rule
We have rules tho.. product rule, quotient rule, chain rule
Why do they call it these if it’s just “the derivative of xy”
Both are correct I’m just wondering if exponentials have their own rule or if it uses chain rule
Why everyone always telling me “I’m overthinking it” … and “who cares?”
I thought it was a good question but I guess not?

if you twist our collective arms enough, we can tell you that d/dx (a^x) = a^x log(a) follows from the chain rule + the fact that e^x is its own derivative, whether by definition or immediate consequence of the definition depending on which of its properties you define it with.
i mean it has nothing to do with maths if that really is the question
if you so badly wish to use this to shove the derivative of a^x into the box of "Things That Follow From The Chain Rule" then so be it, i suppose.
not everything in math has one clearly defined logical predecessor.
yes you can call it that
it really ain't that deep
^
just checking because for whatever reason it wasn't included here, maybe the author missed that
they didn't list that the derivative of e^x = e^x either
doesn't mean you aren't allowed to use it
they do here, but just naming it "Exponential Rule" along with the others, I was curious
it is not that deep.
so for trig derivatives, these are the primary ones to know. if I know both of these, I can find tan, sec, csc, cot
but I don't think I can find arcsin, arccos, and arctan with just d/dx of sin and cos, right?
i think you can
^ these ones I need to memorize like d/dx of sin, cos?
but you'll need implicit differentiation
oh, but it's complicated, ya?
"need to memorize" is a subjective matter.
hmmm
it takes some work to rederive the derivative formulas for inverse trig functions if you do not remember them by heart.
if you are willing to do that work every time then don't memorize them.
like for you folks do you know all of these immediately? or sometimes forget for any of them?
can't say i personally forgot any of these
but these are kind of like the multiplication table
for learning purposes that is
the last one seems weird
is there any trick to remembering arcsin, arccos, arctan?
i have never seen it in that form
good to have on instant recall, bad to memorize mindlessly.
i would say try to understand where they come from
personally i never remember arcsin and arccos and just went through the work of deriving it if i needed to find it
that can help you to remember the structure of the derivatives
but yea they are good to know rather than doing the work all the time
how do you derive with just sin and cos?
you gotta use implicit differentiation
If you haven't covered implicit yet then dw about it, in general it will be easier to just memorize it anyway
you mean d/dx(y) = dy/dx?

i need help lads
Yea
progress so far?
nope
do you know how to solve rational inequalities in general?
Yea just not this one
ok
I got -1<=x and x>=1
recommend subtracting 1/x from one side, then making LHS into one fraction and doing sign analysis.
did you do casework?
you're almost correct
^^
i will step away for the next few minutes

can someone explain this to me
how can you simplify root(8)?
are you asking me or questioning the question
i am asking you
if ur asking me then ig you could do root 8 by root 2
what?
can u explain to me
$\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 * 2} = \sqrt{4} * \sqrt{2} = 2 * \sqrt{2}$
why is there a decimal in the roots
that is a multiplication sign
oh
kheerii
better
MathIsAlwaysRight
so root(8) = 2 root(2)
yes
substitute root(8) = 2 root(2) into this equation
wont it just cancel it out then?
is it division or +?
addition
division
Yes
ignore this, then
So what result did you get?

can someone explain this, I don't understand any of it 😦
how'd they go from the linear system to the matrix
think about how matrix multiplication works.
the product of a matrix A by a vector x is a linear combination of the columns of A, with the entries of x acting as the coefficients in said linear combination.
so am I trying to recreate the linear combinations (ie a-b=e1)?
with the matrix multiplication
well yeah

What does ASA mean again
these are proofs for congruent (and 3 non-congruent) triangles
do you understand fundamentally what ASA and SAS, etc. actually mean?
thats what they mean and all
but how you use them is if two triangles have exactly the same relative side angle side (right next to eachother)
then they are congruent
this is side angle side
it means if two triangles have two connecting sides of same length
and the angle is the same size, too
they are congruent
that is the rule you call SAS
you'll have to look at each pair individually and determine if they follow a rule (put them under a rule) or do not follow any (non-congruent)
these two, you can see, are SAS
do you need the other rules explained?
including the one i just explained?
yes
what part of my explanation did you not understand?
all of it bruh
do you understand what it means for two triangles to be congruent?
(to one another)
just be the same
yeah
you can tell they are congruent without literally all of the information
through the rules above
lets start again with SAS
here we have two triangles where all we know are two sides and an angle
but specifically, the two equal sides join and form the same angle
inbetween them
SAS means side, angle inbetween, side
the order and position of the letters in SAS matters
HL = Hypotonuse-Leg
let me draw more diagrams
If the hypotonuse and one other (relative) same side is equal
then two right angled triangles are congruent
so would these two be under HL?
woohoo!
all you are given is 3 angles are equal to their relative angle
this is not a congruence theorem
AAA could be any 3 triangle with those angles
not one with the same sides, too
so you would put it in not congruent
would that same thing apply for triangles where both are only given 2 sides and nothing else
like these
there are other rules we havent said which some of those apply to
also not that you arent only gien two sides in two of those
these two lines will be equal on both
because they are the same line
these two will actually be congruent by the next rule
SSS = Side Side Side
if all 3 sides are the same, they are congruent
so these two pairs would both be congruent by SSS
you will have to apply an angle theorem here
vertically opposite angles are equal
so really, you have this
so that would be SAS
Yes

could i get some help with this please
do you think a big sphere has more or less drag force than a small sphere
more
argue the same for the other two parameters and you're done
ok
although they've given you dimensions for eta so i guess they expect you to do some dimensional analysis once you've figured out how it depends proportionally
is this suitable?
ΣAC
and use dimensional analysis to solve for a,b,c
how did u come to this equation
k might be tricky to solve for from scratch without doing an experiment
what you wrote in words is that F is directly proportional to all 3
yes realised
$F = -6\pi\etarv$
Kohlemaennchen
That's Stokes friction for low velocities
right my point is you'd need to do an experiment to actually find 6pi
you can yeet the k away because its dimensionless
ok
and then just compare powers of M L T because theyre independent
ok
is a b c all 1?
they are indeed
Only for low velocities you can assume this (like in this example). For higher velocities we need Newton friction, which depends quadraticly on v
Well done 👍
thank u for the help and EAC

can someone help me with the expression part
do you know the definition of the derivative?
the formula?
idk what you mean by "the formula".
maybe you could write it out, and i could tell you if you're thinking of the right thing or not.
f(x+h) - f(x)/h
missing a limit and parentheses, but yea
the limit part is written out in words
oh yes
also what you wrote reads as $f(x+h)-\frac{f(x)}{h}$ instead of the $\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$ that it should be
then just 
Ann
if this issue is fixed, though, then you have the correct expression.

@daring salmon Has your question been resolved?
it says f is not defined
variable f is not defined
... well duh, you shouldn't just copy that as is...
you should actually evaluate f(x) and f(5)
i cannot use the letter f at all
wait
yeah no i dont get it
h is also not defined
<@&286206848099549185> can someone please help
i dont understand what expression it is asking for
You have to take the derivative then plug in x=5
I am on the public bus right now so can't write it out
wouldnt that be me just finding the limit
But the answer is 3/2 * 1/(4 + 3*5)^(1/2)
Not exactly. To calculate from first principle you're doing the Lim as h goes to 0
so plug in 5 into the derivative?
It's not hard for this one the trick is you'll need to factor under the square root and the h out of there so that they cancel on top and bottom
Correct after you find the derivative from first principles.
(Sorry wish I could help more but it is crowded and I cannot type on my phone well)
it doesnt work
Ok you have to be careful. The question is not asking for f'(5). It is asking you for what value of x does it need to approach in the original expression sqrt(4 + 3x) so that it equals f'(5)
@daring salmon once you FIND f'(5) set that numerical value to sqrt(4 + 3x) then SOLVE for x.
This will be your limit that x needs to approach.
The question is badly worded. Don't blame yourself. 🙂
@daring salmon Has your question been resolved?
so plug in sqrt(4+3x) into the x value of the derivative?
Yeah plug in stuff
Not quite.
First find derivative. Then plug in x=5 into derivative.
This gives you a number.
Take THAT number, set THAT number to be equal to sqrt(4+3x)
Then solve for x using that
The value you find for x will be the limit you need.

let me grab my ipad one second
i can still factor out the 15/2 first correct
Yes
ok
how does that look
actually i misscancelled the end there
that should be it i think

would you guys say these are equivalent?
not at all. expand it out and youll see they are noot the same at all
assuming youre going from this one to the one written above, pulling the 5 out from that bracket would also have to apply to the 2 inside the bracket, as well as go through that ^2 on its way out
hmm
so when a question like this shows, do I just put 5x+2 then?
so when does the 5(x+2) thing come around?
you are supposed to apply the 5 or 1/5 to the (x+2) not just the x
^
well you didn't write it right but you still get your point across
2am brain >_<
but how do I know whether its one or the latter?
both
like for this question I know its 5x+2
but how do I know if they would want 5(x+2)
putting the 5 in those respective places are different
from what i can tell this question just wants a dilation of 1/5
aka compress it by a factor of 5
so putting that 5 inside changes the vertex of the function and does some other non-important things
ah
but if we want to compress the whole function by 5
it just has to go infront
im not sure if there is a formal way i can define it to you
but any horizontal compression/dilation will go infront (:
is it a if you know, you know
exactly
im sure there is some way to prove/define it better
but that is a rule of thumb i guess you could say
yup, playing around on desmos a bit could make understanding all of the transformations easier
alright, thank you
no problem

$-\sqrt[4]{32k^5m^{12}}$
simplify
okokok
so 32^5/4
And [
\s{a \cdot b \cdot c} = \s a \cdot \s b \cdot \s c
] I suppose
Where did the 5 come from
b
32 is raised to the power of 1, not 5
$\sqrt[4]{2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * k^5 * m^{12}}$
4 isnt prime so prime factor that still
?
show me
Like what two numbers multiply to give you 4?
2
Okay
So rewrite the 4's to 2's
so 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 *2
Yes
okokok
Now do you see how four of those can be taken outside of the root?
so just make it (2 * 2)^4
so you can cancel out 4 of the 2's with the 4th root
so its jsut 2
Yes
Sure
"Cancel"
So you pull out four of the 2's outside and one remains in
what does that look like

$(9-k)^2=(\sqrt{14}\cdot\sqrt{k+10}\cdot0.5)^2$
OldBiscuit
like that?
yeah
you might wanna post your working so that we can check what is wrong with your previous attempts
if you want i can but i would rather just see the process and see where i went wrong
i have done this so many times
$k²-18k+81=14\cdot(k+10)\cdot0.5^2$
OldBiscuit
ok yep
81 − 18k + k² = 14(k+10)/4
324 − 72k + 4k² = 14k + 140
4k² + 184 − 86k = 0
$2k^2-36k+162=7k+70$
OldBiscuit
what
haha
to get rid of the 0.5^2
you get two solutions, and the larger one is fake
i first multiply 14 by 0.5 one time
and then multiply the while thing by 2
the most difficult part of this question is probably the 0.5^2
and to get rid of it, you can multiply the whole thing by 4, or just do what i did here
the most difficult part is knowing that one of the solutions is fake
well its apart of a larger question so i can find out with one is fake
as 1/2 was originally cos 60
and so u can just substitute both values back in for cos (angle)
what answers did you get by the way?
anyways all good till here?
yes
oh
i haven't complete it, so probably Wolframalpha would do the work
,w 2k²-43k+92=0
i can explain that
you see 0.5^2 is just annoying
oh, okay Shon will be explaining😆
sorry my bad pls continue
nah, it's good
I'm walking/typing, so I'm really slow
my answer is completely wrong
$k²-18k+81=14\cdot(k+10)\cdot0.5\cdot0.5$
OldBiscuit
$k²-18k+81=(14\cdot0.5)\cdot(k+10)\cdot0.5$
OldBiscuit
and back to this
wait
ok so you are allowed to do that
that makes sense but it feels weird
to like turn it into two timeses then move on
ok anyone im up to speed now
yea, it's just the definition of squared
anyway*
i dont know what i did wrong
i did it differently from you, but my answer is wrong
oh
i think that's the only part that makes the whole thing falls down
i am not really good at handling decimals, so i would usually change them into fractions and then into whole numbers if possible
ah
btw
i still was wrong
$\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
OldBiscuit
when i sub it back in i do not get 60 degrees
and not $-b\pm\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
yea
OldBiscuit
wait a second
yea?
bruh
im
nvm
anyway thanks for your help
i made a mistake all the way at the start
have a nice day

Suppose there exists an infinite rail line with infinite stations, and if a train stops at one station it must stop at the next one. Prove that the train stops at all stations.
I think this is some induction stuff, but I've never done this before so no idea how I'd word it
Also if there were infinite stations, is it safe to assume that the train starts at 0 on the number line and makes it way and stops at every integer?
Because if the train started at a different number then it wouldn't stop at every station
Well it screams imduction cuz of tran stopping at every following station
Yup I got that
But uh formally
I am assuming that this is countable infinite cause unaccountably infinite stations makes no sense
Yep, theres a first station where train stops
if yes then this screams mathematical induction
creams??
for someone who has never done induction why would this be true
Just follow the induction steps, if there is one stop then it stops at every station, that's the base
And if the train stops at s_n then it stops at s_n + 1
Yeah the dominoes thing
assume that the starting point of the train is 0 and each subsequent stations are at natural numbers
Well, it stops at first station, and if it stops for one then it has to stop for next one
Then let's assume when are on station k , we have to prove it also stops at k+1
Yup was going for that
But that is self evident
Mhm
Yeah
So by induction it stops at every station
Do I just say "by induction" 
Yup
Because you proved if it stops at station k it also stops at station k+1
This question only even makes sense if the instructor wants you to practise induction a bit more abstractly
yes they're kind saying 'if you can prove this by induction why is it true'
otherwise it's pretty trivial
well becuase you can prove it by induction lol
tbf is it stated that the train does stop at any point?
It is not trivial, it is proved by induction
You followed the induction logic
:/ alright then I'll just write out some statements and show it's true
it wouldnt be true then. induction needs a base case
But we need to make a core assumption that the train does indeed stop at s_1
We proved it for 1
What you need to prove is that it stops at every station
yeah the point is that IF it stops at some station then it must stop at all stations if it doesn't then there's nothing to prove
Well there's nothing to prove since it's stated
If there is 1 station then you prove the base case
i guess you just assume that it has to start somewhere
which would techincally be it 'stopping'
Yeah
So it's not necessary that the train would have to stop at 1
like its not already in motion. its at a standstill from the beginning
It could stop at 2 and then stop at everything after 2
It isn't, if it is then no need to prove anything lol
-_- atleast give us a proper induction problem lmao
It's one of em "no fucking shit" ones
yeah, that's what is bugging me a bit like say it stops at some station that doesn't imply that it stopped at stations before it
But in the limit wouldn't it stop at everything or am I wrong
It would
i think the tricky part is the base case
Like with induction if the base case starts at k then everything would be true from k and onwards
not before
but i think what you have to do is just consider when the train first starts moving
it has technically started at a stop point
because its not moving yet
The number of stations would be countably infinite right
You are over complicating it...

i think thats resonable
Because if the stations were uncountably infinite wouldn't we have to model it over the set of real numbers and not naturals and then there's no way it could stop at all stations
well I googled the question and it seems like you missed a key sentence that, "it stops at the first station"
By the logic of the question then yes, there is no meaning for half a station
ok ye that makes it a lot easier lol
Wait give me a second
i still think it works though doesnt it?
nah, without this it wouldn't work
like lets say for the base case: there exists some n such that the train is not moving (becuase its assumed to be moving). then construct the rail line from there
But for induction it doesn't matter since k and k+1 are not defined and can be any number
Yeah you're right
I see
lmaoo
💀
I always do this when I enter help channels 💀
If you trace all my comments you have the full proof
Yup I'll go by what you said
Thanks everyone, and sorry for the mishap

can somebody explain please ?
i thought if we put 1 - - - 5 we have 3 spaces left and 3 numbers so 3 x 2 x 1 ??
You are getting the question wrong, at the last position you only have 2 options 1 or 5 .
sorry my bad
First one doesn't have to be 1
yes its last number 1 or 5 not 1 at start and 5 at last

✅
What about it?
Why do the options go down?
5!
because at first i have 5 letter to put at first position, then 4 letter then 3 letter for third postion
But you can repeat the letters
This is right thinking, but why do you go down to 4 letters then 3?
we have 5 options for all places
Yup

For what values of m does the system have a non trivial solution, i am struggling to do Gaussian elemination here, im not sure if that's how i proceed, this is the first provlem ive seen with m+1 as a number
Picture if you don't understand my handwriting, its from a mock exam
just do what you normally do
@tepid birch Has your question been resolved?
I can't figure out the steps here, do i do gaussian elemination or through determinants
have you tried to gaussian eliminate
you could compute the determinant
they probably both work
Via determinant i get a quadratic equation, of m1 and m2
I cant seem to figure out gaussian elemination
Figured it out

would this be correct
so MPG was converted to L/100km
11.7607
For part a
then for part b
I add up all factors where gas is consumped which would be y
in liters
I then divide distance by 100 and multiply by by 11.7607 = x
y = liters consumed * 100/distance
then total = y+x
is this correct?
Your question seems unclear
I want to know if this is the correct
to calculate gas mileage
Please organise the given information
Okay
For the fuel economy of the car I convert the MPG into L/100km and that number is 11.7607
The mpg is 11.7607?
Now there are certain factors like brake pads, tire conditions etc.. that affect the gas consumed and I add up all of them in liters and multiply by 100/ distance to get L/100km
no L/100Km is 11.7607
I then Divide distance by 100 and multiply it by 11.7607
Then I add both these factors
to get the gas mileage
is that correct
Is there a question picture i can get?
It seems you should multiply the total factors by distance/100
See
I am not sure but as I have interpreted the question
You have L/100 which is around 11
You have some factors that affect fuel usage
yes
Total fuel usage increase will be just distance×extra fuel usage(by those factors)
but isnt what i did correct?
I don't think so
Let's solve with an example
Let L/100 be 100
Those factors increase fuel usage by suppose 10L/km
well i didnt conver it into that
Wait
I took this and multiplied by distance/100
For the factors
I did GasTw0 = (totalliterconsumption* 100) / distance
then added up all factors
GasTwo +100 = totalgas /100km
Let me get on pen and paper
Here you mean total gas consumed is x+y?
yes
That is wrong
how so?
You don't get anything by multiplying that
distance /100 * the L/100 Km

I apologize for wasting your time
