I’m not sure :(
what's the amount of money in Account A
1000
Ok
now what is the rate of interest?
3%
very good. but you see that % symbol?
that means /100 in math terms
so its really 3/100 or 0.03
3 years
good, so we will compound this amount 3 times.
so t = 3
we have all our values. now multiply P * r * t
1000 x 0.03 x 3 ?
yes
mmmm im having doubts we are using the right formula, looking at your problem more.
This isn’t right ?
right. i was thinking too simple
Ok
we have to use a bigger formula
actually
we can use that simple formula but using the new value every time. you may not have been taught the bigger formula yet
so we compound it each year using simple interest
1000 x 0.03
,calc 1000*0.03
Result:
30
so 1000 + 30 = year 1 balance
now for year two we have 1030 in the account
1030 * 0.03
so 1030 + 30.9 = year 2 balance
now we do it one final time for the third year's ending balance
1,060.9 x 0.03
,calc 1060.9 * 0.03
Result:
31.827
,calc 1060.9 + 31.827
Result:
1092.727
you see how we got there?
Yes!

Even numbers means divisible by 2
so it is 256, 324, 1296, 5476, 373758?
Take the square root of them and check

hi how do i solve this
i think the textbook wants me to use this way
problem is the answer is 68 not 34
so idk what im going wrong
ima solve it rq on my own way and see if it matches up
just gimme a quick second if you dont mind
oki
yeah im getting 68
yeeaaa
Ok so
Area of trapezoid is (b1+b2)/2 times change in x or you can call it height

I tried to solve this with Integration by substitution, as I set "t = 1-x^2", but the answer does not match textbook answer and wolfram alpha
this is my answer↓
but wolfram and textbook answer says
How this can happen? and are there way to solve this problem through Integration by parts?
your answer is fine
i don't see the error but those aren't equal even by a constant
presumably factoring out $(1-x^2)^\frac{3}{2}$
$$(1-x^2)^\frac{3}{2}\left[-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{5}(1-x^2)-\frac{1}{7} (1-x^2)^2\right]$$
$$(1-x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}\left[-\frac{8}{105}-\frac{4}{35}x^2-\frac{1}{7}x^4\right]$$
AℤØ
then factor back in
Wooha thanks,that makes sense!
but can I lead to the 2nd answer directly through Integration by parts?
i think once you have $\int (1-t)^2 \sqrt t \dd{t}$ you could use IBP on that
hayley
@hollow anvil Has your question been resolved?
Without substitution, I can't solve with IBP?
I see, I just wonder why the author put this problem in "Integration by parts" section

Can i use the sandwich theorem or i should use the L`Hopitals Rule
you could, in principle, use both, although it may be tricky to come up with functions to compare to for the sandwich theorem, so L'Hopital's is probably easier

Given 2 squares both have a side of 5cm, overlaid on each other such that the vertex X of one square is the center of the other (illustration below). Find the volume of the shape created by rotating the figure around XY.
my approach is to divide the 3d shape into 3 parts consisting of a cylinder, a truncated cone and a cone, find the volume of each part and sum
i would like to get my calculations checked because the solution i got isnt any of the listed 4 options
(i chose A because its the closest to the sum i got)

hello,
i have the function f(n) = [f(n-1)*(n-1+r)]/n, where f(1)=a
how can i solve this? does it converge or diverge? im not quite sure how i can go abou this. The answer on wolfram alpha seems too complicated

tan theta = -1
how to find theta
$\arctan-1$ also known as $\tan^{-1}-1$
formally correct but please don't call the input of arctan by the letter theta
makes you think it's an angle when it isn't
Xerunox
ah
$\arctan(x)$ also known as $\tan^{-1}(x)$
Pure


note tan repeats every $180^{\circ}$ or $\pi$ depending on your choose of angle representation
Xerunox
what's arctan 💀
Also note that tan being equal to 1 is one of the standard trig values
arctan has range of (-pi/2, pi/2]
same thing as $\tan^{-1}$, just a more preferred representation for a lot of people
so arctan(-1) = -pi/4 and the periodicity doesn't matter i guess
Xerunox
also known as "inverse tan"
what aren't you getting specifically
if $\tan(\theta) = -1$ then $\arctan(-1) = \theta$
Xerunox
can you show the question, maybe
tan(theta) could be the slope, but why is that relevant here?
!xy
Please show the original problem, exactly as it was stated to you, with the entire original context. A picture or screenshot is best. If the original problem is not in English, then post it anyway! The additional context might still be helpful. Do your best to provide a translation.
you can just plug $\arctan(-1)$ into your calculator, it might be written as $\tan^{-1}$ instead of $\arctan$ on it
Xerunox
sounds like a trick question, it gives you the answer
answer is 135, and sir, it's not a trick question thank you
if you can call it please don't call me sir, and i now know its not a trick question but i would've known that if i had the full question
gradient = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Xerunox
$\frac{(-2) - (-1)}{4 - 3}$
okay, ma'am perhaps ?
Xerunox
would much prefer thanks
allow me to restate
okay
$\tan(\theta) = -1 \therefore \arctan(-1) = \theta$
Xerunox
are you allowed to use your calculator?
for this question?
if so you have the answer already
no ?
ok, so do you know the exact value of tan for $45^{\circ}$?
Xerunox
yes ? 1 ?
correct
and, for $0^{\circ} \le \theta < 360^{\circ}$, $-\theta = 180 - \theta$ in $\tan(x)$?
Xerunox
how does -theta = 180- theta work ?
tan is symmetric from the x-axis, but also an odd function
which means $\tan(x) = -\tan(-x)$
Xerunox
actually i dont know if thats related
i don't know how to exactly prove it but tan just works like that
similar with sin, actually
that's exactly what i was thinking 
my bad brother
it's fine, dw dw
but yeah for tan just remember that $\tan(-\theta) = \tan(180 - \theta)$
Xerunox
or in radians, $-\theta = \pi - \theta$
Xerunox
brb
yes, I know that haha
Can someone please help with this question. Particularly part B.
not how this works
Sorry. How does it work I’m new here

How exactly do i do this question? can i get the steps listed out in a clear way?
Do you know what the power rule is
A) is the first derivative and b) is the second derivative, aka taking the derivative of the first derivative, apply power rule once for a and again for b
Not by that name but perhaps i've learned it, still, explaining it would be great
$\frac{d}{dx}x^n=nx^{n-1}$
It's essentially just the slope of the function
Just apply it again
True
Anton Yakunin.
sorry for my silliness, but, how do you mean apply? i'm a little tired today, my sincerest apologies
Okay so do the power rule to find the first derivative
yes, understood
And then do the power rule on the first derivative to find the second
oh, so hold on, ill work out the first one rq, then i just, do the power rule to that answer?
Yes
ok, let me try that rq,
apologies for my english, it's not my first language
thanks, that works

it might help if you write down what each of those things means first because as such that f' and f" you've drawn aren't compatible
so the first sentence says f is increasing if x < 0 and f is decreasing if x > 0
and the second item says f is concave up if x < 0 and f is concave down if x is > 0
that should hellp!

hello I have a question about surface integrals, how come in this problem https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Solutions/CalcIII/SurfaceIntegrals/Prob2.aspx we integrate using ds, but in this problem https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Solutions/CalcIII/SurfaceIntegrals/Prob3.aspx we parametrize the surface and integrate using the normal vector?
how do you know when to use which method
It depends on how you're presented the surface!
Typically there's 3 different ways you might see it
- Explicit in xyz which is what's happening in the dS case
- Parametrized, then you'd use normals
there's a third way Implicit but typically you'd kind of end up doing some sort of parametrization anyway
so for this problem it seems to give the surface in terms of xyz, but the key uses normals
i guess its just because its a cylinder so its easy to parametrize?
yes, to make the double integral more simple
thats nothing but a parametrization in disguise
Try it if you want! Try doing the first one using normals
you'll get the same answer
but typically sometimes you'll write it in an explicit way and it will be messy
and it turns out using differentc oordinates or parametrizing might make it cleaner
so i actually did but managed to get an incorrect answer (and crossed it out sorry lol)
wait a minute i think i see a mistake right off the bat, y should be r squared
I can't super read it but you can try parametrizing using polar coordinates by saying
x = r cos theta
z = r sin theta
then y = 3r^2
And this is parametrized by y = 3r^2, 0 ≤ r ≤ √2 (why?) and 0 ≤ theta ≤ 2π
and then you can try integrating ∫∫3r^2 |r_r x r_theta| dr dtheta
and you'll find that that cross product norm comes to r
okay this is a lot more clear now, thank you 👍
I think I messed something up or ovesimplified but that's the gist

Question 21
I’m so lost
<@&286206848099549185>
Oh! Ok thank you I wasn’t sure if anybody had seen it yet
It’s less a solution based problem and more just proving it if that helps? My answer booklet is only answers so it says nothing for this question
okay, so basically you want to represent the time for light to travel from P1 to P2
there's two lengths for this light to travel
from P1 to the water surface, and from the water surface to P2
you can easily find the lengths of these distances
because you have the measurements given
next, you have time = distance / speed
you are given the speeds in both mediums
We don’t have any measurements though, it’s just variables? Do you mean in terms of the other variables or?
Ok so yea in terms of other things not actual numbers
So distance from P1 to the water surface is root(a^2 + x^2) and water surface to P2 is root(bw^2 + (c-x)^2)
what is w?
a mistype ignore it
Or if you wanna use trig stuff it’s like P1 to water is x/sin(theta1) and water to P2 is (c-x)/sin(theta2)
The speed would be the velocities right?
So time would be P1 to water divided by v1 plus water to P2 divided by v2 ?
yep that's good
However
theta1 and theta2 are both dependent on x
that means when you differentiate this function
you will have to apply the chain rule to theta too
which I don't recommend
the alternative is to just represent sin(theta1) in terms of x
and sin(theta2) in terms of x as well
Sin(theta1) = x/root(a^2+x^2) ?
Sin(theta2) = (c-x)/root(b^2 + (c-w)^2)
Time = root(a^2 + x^2)/v1 + root(b^2 + (c-x)^2)/v2
Where would I go from here?
now you can differentiate by x
Would I treat a, b, c, v1 and v2 as all constants?
the reason being that we want to choose x that minimises the amount of time taken for the light to travel between P1 and P2
treat everything else as constants
I think I did it right but I just wanna check rq- I still need to simplify and what not though
Ignore the a=3 and b=4 parts that’s from a different questions
The bell just went for me to go home so I might take a bit to continue sorry
you're nearly done
just simplify it as much as you can
and then you should see some very familiar looking fractions
wink wink
@left kettle Has your question been resolved?
Alright! So I’ve simplified it down to T’ = Sin(theta1)/v1 + sin(theta2)/v2
So then the shortest time thing would be the minimum so a stationary point so when T’ = 0 ?
But where from there? I could put the sin(theta2)/v2 on the other side but then it would be negative
Do I need to go to the second derivative?
you're really close
You're missing a minus sign T’ = Sin(theta1)/v1 - sin(theta2)/v2
check your work
you can just set T' = 0
and you will be done in no time
if you want to verify that the only choice of x is a minimum, then you can go ahead and compute the second derivative
Oh! I forgot to do the chain rule a second time with the (c-x)^2 since it would be 2(c-x) * -1
That’s where I went wrong
although, theoretically, choosing x such that T'=0 must be a minimum point. Try moving the pivot point around (varying the length x) to maximise the time for the light to travel
you'll find that you can't choose a x such that the time travelled by the light is ever maximal
Oh! So like as x approaches infinity so does the time so there is never a max it can just keep going
Thank you so much-
It's not an X to infinity thing
It's more like a "I can choose a specific X and claim it maximises the time"
"unfortunately there is this other X that cause the time for the light to travel to be even bigger"
Does that make sense?
Ah! Yea it does!

Uhhh
The midline is like
10.5
Right
Amplitude is 7.5
Uhhh
That one sentence says it's cosine right
Or no
Sine
Cuz like it's halfway
Maybe
Idk
Idk which one to use
Or how to get the period
Idk what define the function using radians means isnt it always defined by radians in the period part
@honest flicker Has your question been resolved?
I have
An idea
the 10 am and 10 pm both bring points at the midlinr
that's luke
Like
A 12 hour
Period
so π/6
Not sure which function to use
<@&286206848099549185>
7.5(idk trig function)(π/6(x))+10.5
Something like that
I think
I'm not completely sure
@honest flicker Has your question been resolved?
You can use either sine or cosine, the only difference is that there is a phase shift of pi/2 for cosine. The only real preference for one over the other is that the sine function starts at 0 when x = 0.
Just use the sine function to keep things simple.
It's what you are most familiar with.
Think about what the periodicity is.
uhh
12
24
Ok, let's actually start with the most basic information first. You know the amplitude and the center line. Make an initial equation using those two things that you know.
And just use sin(t) for the trig function.
7.5sin(2π/P(t))+10.5
That's a good start. You know what P is so substitute that value in.
7.5sin(π/12(x))+10.5
Good. Now you just need to calculate the horizontal shift.
If you graph the function as is, this is what you get
Notice where the maximum value currently is.
You need to move that so that it occurs at x=10 so you need to change H which represents the horizontal shift.
7.5sin(π/12(t)-5π/6)+10.5
Not quite. You don't need to guess here. You can solve this using math.
At what time does the maximum temperature occur?
Idk
You are given that information in the problem.
One moment, I was reading the question wrong.
Ok, the problem states that the temperature is typically halfway between the daily high and the daily low at both 10am and 10pm. That means the center line of the wave occurs at those times.
Doh, you were correct with the equation you came up with.
Had a brain fart.

does this work
@balmy sand Has your question been resolved?
what about this one @dark stirrup
Looks good, but explicitly state the number of elements
ok
3 is kind of trivial. It's a subset of N³, which is countable
like N x N x N
whats an example thats like non trivial
idk why my teacher makes us do all of this then
proving rationals or N² is countable
proving that the set of all finite subsets of N is countable
wait so is this like non trivial
so i cant say this is a subset of N^2
where is x?
idk ny teacher writes it like that
what is? the image of f?
ah ok i think it should be 2^x here then
or f(k) even better
right
proof looks good
i just have one last question, thank you for the help so far
does this work
fta = fundamental thrm arithemtic
so many words
ok
if $21x^6=n^2$, then $3$ divides $n^2$ as it divides $21x^6$, but that means 3 divides $n$, which means $9$ divides $n^2$, which means $9$ divides $21x^6$, which means $3$ divides $7x^6$. But $3$ does not divide $7$, so $3$ divides $x^6$, which means $3$ divides $x$.
SWR
I'll let you consider the rest

help
they are if one is the center
extends from... to
in fact its actually actively not how i read that
but yeah anyways just write the formula for the circle with the right center, then use the other pt to solve for the constants
oh nvm ok this question is terrible
x+3 y-13
not my writing
it's assuming the two points are two ends of a diameter
find the midpoint of the vector that goes between them, then use that as the center
then distance formula for radius
is that just midpoint formula
probably? havent heard it called that
ya

what do I do for this? find derivative?
yes
you have find the minimum of the derivative, which is a trinomial
how can I find the minimum of the derivative?
what's your derivative
if I solve dy/dx =0 that'll only give the minimum value of y right
no
and to find the min of that, consider vertex of quadratics/parabola
or more differentiation
can you pls elaborate?
do you know how to find local extrema of quadratic functions / parabolas
no honestly never heard of that
apply that here
but not local extrema
local extrema refers to local min/max
by finding second derivative?
i gave you two routes
since you have a quadratic function, you could apply your knowledge about the vertex
alternatively yes, you could differentiate again to find the local min of that here
oh right
the minimum point of that quadratic is the same as minimum gradient of y
got it thanks

Hello!
homework I got wrong this week
Anyone know why I got all of them wrong?
the question is
They all look right to me
What you did is correct
wait- I really don’t know
did they want you to do something more with the final result that you forgot to do?
Let me send a photo
Maybe they wanted you to write (x-4)^2 instead of x^2-8x+16?
they did write that
Oh my bad, there is an empty line I thought its a new exercise
wait do I contact teacher?
to ask about it?
because I really don’t know why I got 0/3 🥲
oh i reckon they want you to factorise the completed square form using difference of 2 squares
so your end result should look like a(x-b)(x-c)
eg, ||5((x-2)^2-5) = 5(x-2+sqrt(5))(x-2-sqrt(5))||
might want to double check the numbers but thats the idea!
youre welcome :)
Aw im late

Lets say I have a bijection from A to C and B to D. Can I show that there must be a bijection from A x B to C x D (where x is the cartesian product)?
The approaches I have right now will be to define it element wise, although I'm not sure how that could go for uncountably infinite sets A B C and D
Yes you can
I can do this with uncountable sets?
Yes
for countable sets i can do something like map a1 b1 to c1 d1 etc
but for uncountable sets i can't do such a thing right
don't need that
no need to do different cases
Just use definitions of bijections
f: A -> C, g: B -> D
h: A X B -> C X D
h(a,b) = (f(a), g(b))
bijective if surjective and injective
surjective because A x B can be mapped to C x D
injective because i don't have repeated images for different elements
ok now i just need to write this properly
Assume h(a, b)=h(a', b). Prove (a, b)=(a', b')
then that is a proof of uniqueness
Likewise, for any (c, d) in C X D, show there is an (a, b) in A X B such that h(a, b)=(c, d)
thanks i get it now. ill try and update you guys on the formalised proof. i don't know why i took this course, i'm not even a physics or math major
way late for me, so gtg
take care. thank you
but it looks like you understand the problem, so best of luck to you

my exam
in few hours
i need sleep
its 4am
Im begging any1 here can help
how do they get that matrix below
if any1 answers plz i will do anything
the one up top? that's A transpose times A
I think you should sleep 
THe E
with eigen values
I did that last night
for my data struct and algo class
and i had a 100 Mc exam
on data struct
😭
Singular value decomposition
looks like it's just the eigenvalues on the main diagonal
what
how did they construct it
is what im confused about
like how do they know where 4 or root 6 goes
how how big the matrix is
SVD is a diagonal matrix that contains all the singular values or the original matrix A.
same size as A.

Can something be a critical point if it doesn't lie on the curve?
For instance x^3+y^2+xy+y=0 has a critical points when f'(x)=0
I find them to be (1/2,-3/4) and (-1/3,-1/3) but they don't even lie on the the original curve did I make a mistake?
0,0 is also one but that's the only one that lies on the curve
$3x^2 + 2yy' + xy' + y + y'=0$
Lorentz
Yeah
$3x^2 + y =0$
Lorentz
$x^3 + 9x^4 +x(-3x^2) -3x^2=0$
Lorentz
Oj so you subbed y back into the original equation
Ye
And that finds the critical points for x?
I don't have a book atm so I was just typin it out
Damn thank you so much
This? Yeah
Ye and now put dy/dx = 0
Yeah
I was just trying to figure out what to do since there are two unknown variables
You get the same thing
Ah
Got it thanks Lorentz

What is sin(infinity) considered?
Working on improper integrals rn and if they converge or diverge, and I don't know if putting infinity into trig functions is even possible let alone quantifiable
It cannot be explained this way. Better show an example, then we can dispel doubts.
Pmuch gotta find out if this function converges or diverges
Which I simplified using u substitution and such- got -u cos(u) + sin(u)
Putting u cause i can't type out all this on mobile lol
So how do I plug infinity into this so I can subtract 2 and see if it converges or diverges?
:p
in this case, right, you may use untegration by parts, after substituion, and first one is divergent because:
$\lim_{t \to \infty } tsint\text{ }\text{ does not exist}$
Joanna Angel
but
such an integral
$\int_{0}^{\infty }\sin\left( x^{2} \right)dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2\sqrt{2}}$
Joanna Angel
is convrgent
it is famous Fresnel's integral
adn admit
that is ivery similar to yorus
so we cant base some general opinions
on one such integral
the other example:
$\int_{0}^{1}\frac{sinxdx}{\sqrt{x}}$

anyone can prove this
what's the full question
it says x,y,z is all positive and xyz=1
so, x^4 + y^4 + z^4 >= x^2y^2 + y^2z^2 + z^2x^2, right?
how did you get that
from this identity: $$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = \frac12 (a^2 + b^2) + \frac12 (b^2 + c^2) + \frac12 (a^2 + c^2) \geq ab + bc + ac$$ and then subbing $a = x^2, b = y^2, c = z^2$
Jelle
pls go on
ok so a^2 + b^2 + c^2 >= ab+bc+ac= x^2yz+xy^2z+xyz^2= xyz(x+y+z)= x+y+z
is it correct
ok thanks for your help!!!

The only techniques I know for solving differential equations is integrating factor or if it is seperable, which the provided equation is neither. How does the fact that f(0)=0 help us solve this equation for a? just a direction or a hint would be really helpful

Hi I have to rate whether the proof is well written or not.
To prove (with contrapositive):
∀(a1, a2 ∈ A|(a1, a2) ∈ R → (a2, a1) ∉ R) ⇒ ∀(a3 ∈ A|(a3, a3) ∉ R)
- This is achieved by transforming the implication ((a ⇒ b) ⇔ (¬b ⇒ ¬a)) equivalent to:
∃(a3 ∈ A|(a3, a3) ∈ R) ⇒ ∃(a1, a2 ∈ A|¬((a1, a2) ∈ R → (a2, a1) ∉ R)) - This is achieved by the dissolution of the negation (¬(a → b) ⇔ (a ∧ ¬b)) is equivalent to:
∃(a3 ∈ A|(a3, a3) ∈ R) ⇒ ∃(a1, a2 ∈ A|(a1, a2) ∈ R ∧ (a2, a1) ∈ R) - You can choose a1 := a3 and a2 := a3. So if the left side is true, so is the right side is true.
Example: for R = {(1,2),(2,3),(4,5)}, A = {1,2,3,4,5} and a1,a2,a3 = 2
∃((a3, a3) ∈ R) ⇒ ∃((a1, a2) ∈ R ∧ (a2, a1) ∈ R)
∃((2, 2) ∈ R) ⇒ ∃((2, 2) ∈ R ∧ (2, 2) ∈ R)
Therefore, the subjunction as a whole is always true. The statement is thus proven.
My rating to it, is it good or not, what would you write?:
Overall, this submission is good because the proof type is correct, the proof was done correctly, and the Python code is correct. For example, he performed the method, proof of contrapositive correctly, since (A ⇒ B) ⇔ (¬B ⇒ ¬A) and for implications of form A ⇒ B are used. Thus, it has been shown that if (¬B ⇒ ¬A) is true, then the original statement is also true.
I also wrote, but it´s unneccessary for the proof method, so you can kinda can ignore that:
Also, the source of evidence is trustworthy, because it comes from a well-known university. In addition to the Python code, one could have added the definition of irreflexive and asymmetric from the textbook for a direct comparison to the code, e.g.: "A relation R on A is called irreflexive if for all a ∈ A holds: [a, a] ∉ R". In the case of the "1.3 Explanations" section, the comment was presumably cut out in the code when exported, which is not a big deal for understanding the proof.

The answer is D, but why is it that sometimes the geometric series converges when the r equals 1 and sometimes it diverges when it equals 1
What type of series is this
I thought it had to be |r| < 1
For what type of series is that true
Geometric
Is this geometric?
If you remove put the 1/n^5 to the left and everything else u leave it as (r)^n yeah
How should I approach it then?
As a geometric or a combination or something else
I don't think these is a straight forward way rather than testing each (a), (b), (c) etc
