Still quadratic
exactly
but its definitely quadratic since it had the same y value twice
Are you familiar with nth order differences?
never heard of that
<@&268886789983436800> @sullen drum
why my channel though
It happens
i guess we just wait
Tough
ill solve something else in the meantime
Thanks
Love ya eric ❤️
So linear quadratics have a fixed first order differences
That is, if you look at the difference between two terms, they are the same
Oh, and garlic, sorry for the translation errors, our Polish "quadratics" are y = x^2 only, we have a different name for these
The bottom one is linear because they are all +1
Note that the one on top is not linear because the differences are different
However, if we go one layer further, we get all -2
This is the second order difference (aka the difference of differences) and they are all the same
If we have this, we know its a quadratic
ohhh i see
Err no
yeah mb lol
Quadratics dont have the same gradient all over
Thats where calculus comes in, idk if you know calculus
I have to go now, hope that helps!
Aight cya

$$ \frac{2}{1+x^2}$$ is $$ 2\frac{d}{dx} arctan(x)$$
Brandon H
huh
I have no idea what anything else is in thsi problem
if you want. Kind of overcomplicated imo
what does g(1) =5 have to do with this?
idk how to integrate g'(x)
use the initial condition
try finding what you need to compute f'(1)
overcomplicated
$$f'(x) = \frac{1}{g(x)} g'(x)$$
Brandon H
oh right, I didn't see the tan( ) XD
so what's f'(1) ?
Brandon H
it asked for rounding
yeah then do

Trig identities. Does question b make sense?
you could also take a geometric approach and construct a right triangle then find the missing side using the Pythag theorem and find tan that way! :) this way also works
Awesome 🙂 that’s what I was just taught rn so i just wanna see if I got the answer correct
(Also if you may know of a source I can use online to verify these so I don’t have to bug y’all lol)
don't forget that cos(theta) would be plus minus 40/41, but since theta is in Q1, it has to be plus 40/41
https://www.wolframalpha.com/ W|A is always the way to go!
OH yaaa
also its a good thing for the radical
Yes I do have to remind myself of which quadrant it’s in. I kept having that issue in the last chapter
that's why I like using the right triangles to do these type of questions
cause if a negative shows up
just make that side negative on the triangle :)

Actually I wanna double check. So if this was in q3 for instance, then I’d make sin negative at the beginning?
or would it still just make the final result positive since tan is positive in q3 as well?
this is why I like the triangle approach
I myself get messed up with the quadrant negative/positive business of trig function but I'm sure Wumbo has a good answer 
Lol
if the angle was in q3, then sin theta would have been negative to begin with, yes. the resulting tangent would be positive however because both sin and cos are negative in q3
Do you have a video link for me to see about this method? I don't think I've seen that before.
the triangle approach?
Ya
Also duh I forget that theta means it is an angle of a triangle
in the...unit circle?
theta is usually just a general symbol used for any angle
Ah okay but trig is just focused on triangles
at its core, yes
even when we're doing circle stuff, you can break the coordinates down into triangles whose base is the x-axis
so unit circles
Okay thank y'all again :))
i dont really thing about the positives and negatives of the trig functions in terms of quadrant, but more in terms of the unit circle. i know that the sin of an angle is correlated with the y-axis, and the cosine is correlated with the x-axis
so if the angle is in q1, then its y coordinate and sine will be positive, and the x coordinate and cosine will be positive
I think I am having a hard time visualizing these equations as triangles and I'm going at it from like an algebraic approach because that is what I'm comfortable with
so I would like to understand that aspect more
cosine the length of the side of the triangle on the x-axis
sin is the length on the y-axis
not this is ONLY for the unit circle
where radius=1
so when it says cos(th)=4/5 then that means the x coordinate is 4/5?
I added a few up arrows to this in case you missed the point: trig functions are defined on the unit circle, I have seen many people make that mistake
and in trig rn i am assuming it is on unit circle because that is what I'm being taught?
ik but just down the road remember that :) that's all I'm saying
they're tricky concepts, and it's a mix of learning how to use these things and learning wtf they actually mean
they feed into each other
and a lot of historical baggage particularly surrounding the way we name things
very helpful people. I'm gonna tell your manager to give you a gold star today

How is cot(270+theta) = tan(-theta) ?
Do I first assume theta is an acute angle
You can use the definition of cot and tan with compound angle identities
I know cot(theta) = tan(90-theta)
Do I assume cot(270+theta) is in 4th quadrant
therefore basic angle is cot(-theta)
You don’t need to
You can use this

I did this a while ago but I forgot how to set up the bounds.
pi is the correct answer
So for theta bound it is obviously 0 to 2pi since there are no restrictions
have you tried converting to spherical coordinates
well it is a spherical problem
ok nevermind I think I am sort of there
so phi is 0 to pi/3 if you set z=2 to rho you get pi/3
so you have the eqn 2=rho cosphi
you can move cosphi over
then you get the lower bound for rho
alright

- If a polygon can be divided into 5 triangles when the diagonals are drawn from one of its
vertices, how many sides does the polygon have?
State the formula you are using.
Set up an equation or show work.
solve
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
i have an sort of answer
its going to have 5 sides its a pentagon
but that seems like common sense
idk what formula i would use
have you actually tried dividing it up into 5 triangles?
if common sense is enough, you don’t need to use a formula
if you think it is a pentagon, then can you draw a pentagon, then divide it into 5 triangles using its diagonals?
@forest glade Has your question been resolved?
do you know what a diagonal is
no

can you draw it now?

in the picture, the light shoot to the right small parabola and return in the same route, why it doesn't reflect like the left parabola
its because of the change in focal length of the mirrors
and the placement too
see
in the case of right concave mirror
the bulb is placed on its centre of curvature
and the bulb is placed on the focus of the left concave mirror
and there is a simple thing
that if light is incident on a concave mirror from focus, its will get reflected and propagate parallel to the principal axis (left case)
and if light is incident in the alignment to the centre of curvature, its will follow back its path (rught case)
does that help you @old glacier ?
i'm understanding these
oh, thank you
i got that
the difference of focus point and center point

can someone walk me through how to do this?
yeah
Are you allowed to assume GK = HJ?
That’s where I was going, maybe using angles instead of sides
GJ=GJ (common side)
angle KGJ= angle HJG
angle HGJ = angle KJG
byt ASA congruence rule
GH=KJ
hence prove
you get it?
but we can only say this if we know gk and hj are given parallel
if we dont know?
then i dont think so, we''ll we able to prove it
there must be some realtion given
which grade does it belong to?
@forest glade
mhm
@forest glade so in pallelogram
opp sides are parallel
so by alternatee interior angle
angle KGJ= angle HJG
angle HGJ = angle KJG
and with common side
apply
asa congruence
and GH=KJ
proved
you get it now?

How does this person know that they need to rationalize the numerator?
Or can this only be known through trial and error?
How do u know u need to rationalize the numerator straight away?
I mean, typically you’d check if direct sub works
If it’s a real number, you’re done
If it’s undefined, you’re also done - your limit DNE
But if it’s indeterminate (e.g. 0/0), that’s when you need to do something extra
Cuz we only rationalize the denominator mostly
Ah so it's though trial n error, then determine whether to rationalize the numerator
Also, you only rationalize if there are roots around
Ye
Square roots are most common, but any root can be rationalized in the right circumstance
Ik how to rationalize... just dk how one can rationalize the numerator without going through trial n error
I mean, depending on the expression, you could mental the direct sub trial
Like here, it’s not hard to see that it would hit 0/0
Which is indeterminate
Ye doing it mentally is still considered going through trial n error haha
Aight thanks pals :)

okay i am not understanding how these are the correct answers. someone please explain.
Well, when does the sin give -√3/2?
at 135 and 225
Is sin negative in 2nd region?!
225° and 315° are odd multiples of 45°, careful
yes
They would give $$\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$$
Cyrenux
howd you get that
You got the reduction of angles wrongly
Do you know that $$\sin { (x + 180°) }= - \sin x $$
Oops ignore
alright
Cyrenux
yeah
@vestal breach do you know this property?
yes
find a $x$ value where $$\sin x = \frac{ \sqrt 3}{2} $$ then reduce by 180° to find where its negative
Cyrenux
Also reminder that:
$$\sin {( 360^\circ - x) } = -\sin x $$
Cyrenux
Nice we got degree symbol now
i see yeah
Use these two reduction formulas
Do you know which value of $x$ satisfies
$$\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
Cyrenux
60 right?
idk how to put the degrees lol
60 is in radians
While 60° is in degrees
But yeah its trivial that we are only using degrees currently
i see
Off topic but this is REALLY necessary.
$\sin {4} < 0$
While $\sin {(4^\circ )} > 0 $
Cyrenux
Back to our topic, add 180° to 60°
240°
Yes
But we found $$\sin {x} = \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$$
,we know that $x= 240^\circ$ but we want to find 2$\theta$ of $$\sin {2 \theta} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$
We can just $$x=2 \theta$$ to find our desired value
Cyrenux
we already know that $x=240^\circ$ so lets just $$240^\circ =2 \theta$$
Cyrenux
Do the same thing but extract 60° from 360°

how to integrate this?
do you HAVE to use integration?
no i guess but that's what i'm doing
Yes but then its a weird center
But sure
can you tell me the equation of your leftmost circle?
it looks intuitive to me so ig we could work with that
Let's try to integrate it if you don't know how
Do you wanna do it in a normal way?
integration upper - lower or something is what's involved ig
Correct you'll need that
Do you know how to integrate things though
yes
trig sub will be required for this
hiii
not really a proper integral now
Not quite
since we have to sub for y
oh
Right erm
can i get the expression?
This is why I said you should put the first circle at the origin
could you move your diagram
to make it easier
i could but why can't we just work with this?
Okay fine if you insist
thanks
take your left circle and rearrange in the form y = f(x)
Make sure when you square root it its the positive bit because we are looking at the top area here
That will leave you with a semicircle
makes sense
could you do that for me?
Should be (x+0.5)² on the inside
but anyways yes that's right
hiii
Now we will make use of symmetry right, so That's the bottom boundary of our area
what's our top boundary?
yes
Which bounds our area from the underside
my problem was how to restrict it only to that part
Yeah so hopefully you can do it...? just wanna make sure though
wait can do what? 😭
i don't think so
why not
okay lets continue
you want me to use
the right circle
and then use the y= f(x) we got from the left circle
sub it in
you can but I wouldn't
then integrate?
No
o
you remember you told me (which is correct) to find the area it's integrate upper - lower
symmetry is cool but wouldn't we be overcounting?
indeed
Not if you see what we will be doing
okay fair
what that means is
integrate (equation for upper boundary) - (equation for lower boundary)
well upper boundary is 1
We have the equation for the lower boundary
Good
So whats your final equation that you're putting in the integral?
oh yeah i guess my initial hunch was right then? I just had it in two variables so i guess we converted it into one
Yes
But you just did it in a weird way where if you subbed y back in here you're just gonna get 0 = 0 while doing so
it would be this but we change the circle equation stuff i put with what we had of y= f(x)
and then we integrate wrt y?
o lol
true
No, wrt x
No worries
,, \int_{-0.5} ^ {\frac 12 (\sqrt3 - 1)} (0.5 - \sqrt{1 - (x-0.5)^2} - 0.5} \text{dy}

okay there we go
i think
Notice how the integrand (the stuff inside the integral) is in terms of x
that's why it's wrt x and not wrt y
hiii
Dw and therefore the bounds are wrong as well
The bottom bound is right... the top bound isnt
Yes
this seems a bit overcomplicated
,, \int_{-0.5} ^ {0} \qty(0.5 - \sqrt{1 - (x-0.5)^2} - 0.5) \text{ dx}
hiii
He wanted to do it using an integral
Great now remember because of symmetry we have to multiply by 2
yeah i wanted to do it with an integral
dont choose to punish yourself
And also the signs in the integral are wrong
yeah that makes sense
and if we're not multiply by 2
we can just repeat the process with the right curve?
Yeah but I wouldn't do that haha you've punished yourself enough
*we're not mulyiplying by 2
fix the signs in the square root
and also add brackets because there's a sign flip due to 0.5 -
😅
but okay i just wanted to know how to set it up
,, 2 \cdot \int_{-0.5} ^ {0} \qty(0.5 - \sqrt{1 - (x-0.5)^2} - 0.5) \text{ dx}
this would be the final answer ig?
No youve just revived a bunch of errors that you fixed
Look at the top bound lol
hiii
and also... again there's sign errors in the integral
0.5 - sqrt(1-(x**+**0.5)^2)) + 0.5
,, 2 \cdot \int_{-0.5} ^ {0} \qty(0.5 - \sqrt{1 - (x+0.5)^2} + 0.5) \text{ dx}
hiii
ah right 😭 it was a domino effect thing
we just worked with the wrong
thing from the start
and forgot about it lol
okay okay i get it
Not really
,w \int_{-0.5} ^ {0} \qty(0.5 - \sqrt{1 - (x+0.5)^2} + 0.5) \text{ dx}
its correct so its calm

A u sub followed by a trig sub kills the integral
here
0.5 - sqrt(1-(x+0.5)^2)) - 0.5
unless i'm blind
no because as I said you should've had brackets
you should've written 0.5 - (sqrt(...) - 0.5)
Which turns into 0.5 - sqrt(...) + 0.5
Dw lol
Yw
if possible lol
yeah much easier
this is the question
side length is 1
obv the radius of the circle is 1
equalatral triangle fixes everything
Draw in the equilateral triangle and hopefully you'll see it
No? there's a place to draw an equilateral triangle that makes the most sense here
yeah
think of any sectors
yeah
what about it?
oh wait
you want to find the area of the big piece
so that you can get rid of the double counting
Imagine ur making a cookie with that shape
right?
How are you gonna cut it out of those lines in an easy way so you can find the area
Mmm
mmm
it'd be area of square - area of circle *2 + the area of the equilateral + sector
unless i'm doing it the long way
no need for circles
not required
what am i supposed to do then
they are the sectors
hmm okay
area of triangle is sqrt(3)/4
area of the full sector itself is pi/4
dont think of it as the area of the full quarter circle
try and find the angle required to find the area of the sector
oh bruh
i see now
i'm blind smh
so it's two sectors
with 30 degree
yeah
facts facts lol
definign coordinate system and setting up the integral > finding area of equilateral triangle + two sectors
but hmm wait
where did you get the intuition to draw an equilateral triangle
hope
that it would turn it into something better
i just saw the overlap of 2 circles and i thought there must be some bullshit construction proof to say that the intersection makes an equilateral triangle

Not sure how to end up with numbers from this, I’ve gotten this far so far
Note that these two have different bounds
Yeah
Ah
Is there anything I can do about it? Like change it?
Recall that
$$\int_a^c = \int_a^b + \int_b^c$$ assuming $a<b<c$
Im you
Use that to your advantage
It is?
okay thanks
Why?
and thanks to you too @tight thunder
Yw @slate kayak
Think about what an integral is
Well it measures the area under f right
if you measure from a to c
Oh yeah ok that makes sense
:))
thanks 🙏
yw!

A ray of light is travelling is travelling from air to water. What is the angle of incidence in air, if angle of refraction in water is 45
!status
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
What laws/formulas do you know regarding refraction angles and things like that
do you know snell's law?
ah
ah fuck, guess i spoiled it
What Ann said
wdym?
sini/sinr=n2/n1
ok that looks correct
are you able to use snell's law to find the angle of incidence based on the data given?

does someone know how use a "graphing utility" to create a line of best fit
for a function
Ermmm
If you have a graphing calculator
you should be able to enter points and construct a line of regression
that will be your line of best fit

i found a "trick" that mentions any multiples of 3 can be expressed as multiplication of 3 consecutive numbers
i'm assuming i use that trick here?
(x-1)(x)(x+1)
then i chose the answers by just adding multiples of 3 to either the left term or the right term
idk how that makes them consecutive though lol
yeah i just added (x-1 + 3) but and changed the other one as well with some multiples of 3
it gave me the right answer
but sounds like bs
very little actually
but i could try to understand if you're willing to show me
ok no worries, we dont explicitly need it
I did?
and then someone showed me seiving
yeah
so i know those type of stuffs i guess
but i haven't taken a course per se
ok we just need a very basic statement here tho
every integer x is either of the form 3k, 3k+1 or 3k+2
right
which we can plug into those expressions up there
if we plug in 3k for x, we quickly see that it is a multiple of 3
wait if i'm understanding this right
you can express any integer
in one of those ways?
yes
oh yeah makes sense
every integer is either a multiple of 3, 1 more than a multiple of 3 or 2 more
n = x (mod 3) but then x is any integer less than 3
hmm okay fair

Ncert class 10
okay
If something is done in 2 hours, then it means that per one hour you do 1/2 of that, right?
Yes
Same thing here
75/8+8/75=1?
If you multiply them
well
unitary method
say a tap fills the tank in 2 hours
Ok
would you agree or disagree that the tap delivers 1/2 of a tank worth of water per hour
I would agree
and in general, a tap that fills the tank in x hours has an output rate of 1/x tanks/hour

So im confused with this problem
I tried to figure out what to do this morning with this information from yesterdays help: ' You need to use trigonometry in right triangles to find beta, however you tried to sum the angles when the triangle containing theta is an obtuse triangle, which means that the formula you used for theta is wrong'
but i dont know can someone guide me please thank you
i would just say 100/d
why just 100/d? ik its part of the solution but in what way do i use it?
is the correct answer the one shown in the box?
@wet moss told you the answer
if tan(β)=100/d
So you can find β using arctan(100/d)
100
The pedestal is within the 100
it says including the pedestal
@gray zinc are you here?
yes im here im review my work thank you!
Is this a related rates problem?
"optimization with the emphasis on setting up the functions to be optimized (as opposed to being given the function)"
got it thank you!

I don't know how to start
what's the question?
how do I find x1 , x2 and y1 , y2
you have this system of equations to solve
you may start by writing down the equation 2x^2 + 6x - 14 = -2x^2 + 10x - 6
there's multiple different ways you could think about getting to it from the starting two, but i am not gonna go into detail on that unless explicitly asked.
do I want to add the 2 equations to get rid of the 2x squared?
so 4x^2-4x-8=0
See you first need to find a x or a y , so try eliminating one of them
Yep that's the easiest way to get rid of y
You could have also subtracted the equations to get the same value
yes keep going
recommend dividing both sides by 4 before continuing -- not fatal if you choose not to do that, but may make your life easier
1 moment im writing it on paper
I have a mistake some where for y2=
I think its because y2= 2* (-1)^2
I had it right the first time but then erased the parentheses
so x1= 2 , x2= -1
y1= 6 , y2= -18
well you chose not to make your life simpler when you could've, for one.
that's why you got your x's wrong the first time round
this is correct, just checked with desmos

if we have a a(n) = (n/6)(sin(6/n))
Why isnt limit n->infinity
not 0?
n/6 = infinity and then we have sin(6/n) where sin(0) = 0 right
and 0 * infinity would just be 0?
Make a substitution, t = 6/n
It is an indeterminate form 0/0, hence the result is not 0 (a priori)
n/6 is just 1/t
so I’d have to figure out sin(t)/t
all different limits
I see
So I just derive it with substitution
Ok I got the answer, thanks for the help guys

Im learning how to find work done on path in a conservative vector field and had a question about the way the formula was explained to me. So essentially i was given the explanation below for why the integral of F(x,y,z) wrt dr = g(b)-g(a),
But I don't understand why we can replace (x,y,z) by r, arent we plugging in a vector at that point which is impossible?
$\int^b_a F(x,y,z)dr=\int^b_a \nabla g(x,y,z)dr=\int^b_a \nabla g(r)dr=g(b)-g(a)$
SnowZillin
@vague mural Has your question been resolved?
what do you mean "at that point which is impossible" ?
do you have some textbook claiming something you'd like clarified
riemann i dont think you can help me
why
you're right. your question isn't even clear at the moment
everytime i talk to you it takes an hour to get a answer that i barely understand
id rather keep my hour and keep my confusion
uh that's probably because it takes that long to get you to ask a question that makes sense
but if you insist

When we're trying to find the area between the curves between two points of a function. Do we take the difference or the sum of the total amount from both points?
which one makes more sense to you
The difference because it's the area between curves
So u would subtract the surrounding areas
But idk if I'm saying the correct thing
So is it correct then?
yes
So hypothetically, if I made an equation like x^2 - 2x and found the area between the curves from x = -1 to x = 2, it could be 0?
what two curves exactly?
no, area between two curves is not always the same as the integral
the integral is the signed area meaning the area underneath the x-axis counts as negative
depending on the question, you have to modify the sign

Bigger one - smaller one
@fringe trellis Has your question been resolved?
Basically you wantthe area that satisfies $$x^{2} \le y \le 2x$$

use sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
I am not done with my question, please wait a second kindly.
My question is when trying to solve limits algebraically using the limit laws, I am coming across times when its evaluating correctly and incorrectly. This has left me stumbled and wondering is there a solid way to determine whether or not the limit laws will work when solving a question?
you just do more problems
limit laws always work when the assumptions are true
did you verify the assumptions before using them?
What do you mean by verifying the assumption?
do you know what assumptions limit laws make?
Nope.
that's the core problem
Ahhhh.
,tex .limit rules
riemann
first row. to clarify, L and M must be real numbers
any textbook will say the same thing

bad habit i guess
