well, my confusion is that i don't see this in what he wrote
like 1*10 to the power of 3
its the weight of each number
where did the 3 come from?
the rank
ohh right
and in the first example he gave (1011 in binary), why is every number multiplied by two?
because 2 is the base
or at least, thats a representation of a number in binayr
binary*
but what determines the base? or is that something that's bound to a set of rules, like a formula or such?
so any conversion of binary must always include 2 as its base, and it's to the power of its weight
is that correct?
that makes a lot more sense. thank you
one last thing
i've been really meaning to start self studying math. i've had an interest in doing so for the past 4-5 months. what's a good starting point? (only resource i know of is khan academy)
right
so that's the only resource i'll need? how far will it take me before i have to start searching for books on my own?
well, i graduated high school but never went to college
i'd say i need a refresher on my math though
just study what you need for
i'm not really doing it for a course or program. i just want to self study out of interest, so i don't exactly need math for anything specifically
do all algebra courses, geometry and calculus
i think thats enough ?
novice programmer. math can help with computer science and some data structures and algorithms concepts
awesome. how far would you say i can go with khan academy? i'm wondering when i need to start searching for books on my own
awesome, those'll be first on my list
I dont really know the limit of Khan academy, ive never used it
they go to calc 3 at least
i dont know if they do linear algebra
what do you know so far in maths
@timid silo if you have experience with khan academy, i'd like to know your input on this
well i'd need to brush up my math since it's been a bit but i know whatever the australian curriculum teaches up to 12th grade
no problem
haha small world
and what is their limit in high school maths ?
if you're talking about extension classes, i didn't take those
i remember taking advanced maths classes but that's about as far as i went with it
like, which notion
i'm not sure what you mean. i remember learning certain topic such as logarithmic functions, exponential functions and some calculus
but as i said, i've forgotten a lot of it
i never used to have much of an interest in math when i was in school but that's changed years after
thats basically what i was asking
what is the curriculum 🤔
you said exponential function and logarithm
I guess you did complex number too
no, i think that was above my level
ah
i wasn't the best at math though. that was my biggest thing
i was always that guy who barely studied and just managed to pass his exams
well im not asking if you are the best or not lmao
I just want the syllabus so I can at least tell you where to start
which is why i want to go back and fill in missing gaps in my knowledge
yeah well, that was my level
so you only did calculus in 12th grade ?
it was never listed as methods or specialist in my school but looking at it online, i guess i did methods. here, i'll link it
IXL's dynamic maths practice skills offer comprehensive coverage of the Australia year 12 curriculum. Find a skill to start practising!
i did a lot of this stuff
but i probably need to go back and redo a lot of it
ok, if you remember at least a bit of everything you did in 12th grade, you can start with abstract algebra (the basic)
monoid, group, ring, field at least
after that you can start linear algebra
going through all linear algebra maybe
well thats on you

Need help with 2 and 4
from the top?
Yes
!show
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
are you aware of the product formulas?
this?
not these ones
can i not do it with thees ones?
u are comfortable with the idea of variables?
is it neccecery?
here look at the two formulas of sine
there is alpha and beta; i need you to understand that they are variables and represent something
and we can make new variables to represent new things
ok
ok lets define two variables c and d
c= alpha + beta
d = alpha - beta
so what is c + d
2alpha
c-d/2
yea
so write down those 2 formulae of sine
these ones
only the sine ones tho
remember the way we added these two?
add those two formulae together as well
now u can replace the alpha + beta with c
alpha - beta with d
and also make use of the formulas we made for c and d
these ones
ok so what do i do?
do i start doing the equation or what?
if u have been doing all that ive told till now
send me a pic of it
we are arriving at a new formula using the old ones
to easily solve ur problem
i actually gtg rn
if u still need help

It's tedious if you expand it using sin(a+b) and sin(a-b)
i get it better that way i prefer it tbh
Like their individual expansions
dang i forgot u can just plug in
Then yeah go for it
But I want to ask
U know the formula for sin a + sin b?
they dont
Ah
he
In that case u do need the individual expansions
i havent lerned that yet
tho if u wanna explore, have fun or just make ur maths life easier
try seeing through what i told u
and getting to that formula
ok thanks ill think about it tonight

i am struggling with this exercise, because i dont know whether this is a subspace or not
if i want to consider U and V belonging to the subspace, i dont know how to set them
(a-1, -2a+2) and (b-1, -2b+2) perhaps.
like, its U = (a,a) and V = (b,b)?
no.
uhm
.
okok
alright i got this
one more question tho
in this exercise, how am i supposed to do this
U = (x1,y1,z1) and V = (x2,y2,z2) ?
ye
should be clear that it is closed under multiplication and contains the zero vector
verify that it is closed for addition though
hint: find a counterexample
yeah thats where i am struggling
consider liie
the vectors (1.0, 1) and (1,1,0)
do those two work out for what you have
clearly they hold true individually, but what about when summed?
because u + v = (x1 + x2, y1 + y2, z1 + z2) , so then we should do something like (x1+x2)(y1+y2)(z1+z2) ??
but if we only work with x y z (and not numbers) how do i justify it
because i get somewhere in the equation x1 multiplying by y2 and z2 or z1
so i cannot say that it is = 0 because i dont have enough proof that it wont be 0
A lot of people have this misconception that you need to be direct about proofs and such always, and contradictions/counterexamples are not sufficient
but it really isnt
showing one counterexample makes the whole thing collapse
and that's what you are trying to show. So don't trouble yourself by doing it generally or whatever
ok so when do i know whether i should do a general case or get an counterexample?
Really hard to generally answer that , but for subspace questions counterexamples are a good choice generally
as shown above
also like it should be obvious to say that x1 + x2 isn't always equal to 0, even if either terms are in fact 0,

how to do part c)
is part c inverse of part b?and how do i connect bth of them
@rough marten Has your question been resolved?
what happens when in b, you substitute x with e^y?
e^e^y?
mb, y= e^x
ya get x
and then?
then what does the integral become
a straight line?
i meant the terms in the integral
the integral changes
when you use substitution
get x
?
rewrite the integral
for y
the whole integral
everything about the integral
whats integral
$\int$
Flappie
thats an integral
o lmao..
so rewriting the question..?
yes
yes
substitute the rest aswell
right now you have only subtituted one value of y
there are 4
yes, 4
theres like only 2 y
how do you change the bound
oh
and we have the bounds y=2 and y=3
so to get the lower bound
we fill in y=2 into y=e^x
so we get 2=e^x
but we want our new integral to be in terms of x
so we get x=ln(2)
for the lower bound
similar for the upper bound
and how do u do that
we have our substitution y=e^x
e^x to x... add a ln?
into this
oh
we replace dy with e^x dx
oh alright den its doable now
$\int u dv = [uv] - \int v du$
Flappie
actually why must u change the ln y to in terms of x tho
look at question b
there is a reason why they asked us to calculate this
its beacuse we are gonna need it in the next step
so in the ln(y)dy integral we wanna go to something of that form
we couldve also substitued x=ln(y)
and then we get dx/dy=1/y, dx=1/y*dy
hmm actually
then we wouldnt go to the form of ln(y)dy that they ask
how do you even know to sub y=e^x tho
is it to juz make the intergrand in terms of x
we see e^x in the first integral
and we see ln(y) in the second one
so we need some kind of substitution that makes us go from e^x to ln(y) or vice versa
the only thing i can think of is y=e^x or x=ln(y)
this is also kind of a experience thing
if you see this more often

you'll see what you need to substitute for
also we see the bounds
the bounds in b are of the form ln(something)
and in c they are something
which also indicates we need some e^x substitution thing
alrite thx for the help
can you do it with integration by parts?
i think so , i will follow the guide notes
the questions jumped from intergrating trigo to this type of question so i was so lost 
thx again! :)

Do you know how to make the first integral appear?
Nope
What is different between the first and second integral, not looking at the bounds?
The first one is 0 to pi and the second is 0 pi/5
not looking at the bounds
?
Like, is there another difference apart from the bounds of integration?
There’s a 5x in cos
Yes
But to find the first integral, you want there to be just "x" in cos
So how do you switch from 5x to x?
Multiply by 1/5?
Wdym?
I’m not sure how you switch
What properties allow you to change from 5x to x?
I'll repeat in a more obvious way
What allows you to change from the variable 5x to the variable x?
Well don’t you divide both sides by 5
Ok let's try again
You want to turn ln(a+bcos(5x)) into ln(a+bcos(t))
How do you do it?
U substitution?
Yes
Idrk what I’m suppose to do after I u sub
What do you get from u sub?
Idk the bounds of integration though
Pi
Then you know the new bounds of integration
Is this the same thing as what the first integral is?
@sacred trail Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
just sub 5x=t
the limits become 0 and pi, and dt/dx=d(5x)/dx=5 so there's a factor of 1/5
answer is 2/5 pi ln 2

How do I find the right answer?
The purple bits seem fine (maybe excluding integral limits) - what did you do after that?
I tried taking antiderivative of u
Which would make it (-e^(9/2))/6+1/6
But the actual answer was ((-e^(-3))/6+1/6) somehow?
Could you show what you got as that?
I crossed it out but you can still see it
Also remember the comment about integral limits and them not being changed
Yea i didnt change them
so you did it of u by itself rather than of the new integral in terms of u 
?? What would that look like?
Once you get this, you want to replace all x’s with u’s
Also answer is here 
But i set u to -3x^2?
Exactly, replace that so the integral is in terms of stuff that has u’s in it only
That’s the whole point of substitution
Hang on let me look at this
Is the limit supposed to change?
Yes
What is the condition that elicits this change?
Bc i havent seen it anywhere else
Wdym with that?
You take a look at your u sub
In this case it’s u=-3x^2
Now you see the first limit, it’s 0, what happens when you sub in 0 for -3x^2, correct, also zero, so we write that down
What happens when you sub in 1 for -3x^2? @deep ravine
Becomes -3
But dont we have to take the antiderivative of u first?
Or is that a different method
Antiderivative? What do you mean?
You just sub in the old limits to the u sub and get the new limits
And you don’t need to sub back after that
It stays u
How I did it, you raise the power of u by 1 and divide by the new exponent
So u becomes (u^2)/2
At least thats how my teacher told us to do it
No that would be if you integrate u @deep ravine
But we want to differentiate it so we get du to make our sub and solve for dx
This will help you to understand it better @deep ravine
This calculus video explains how to evaluate definite integrals using u-substitution. It explains how to perform a change of variables and adjust the limits of integration - upper and lower limits.
Introduction to Limits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNstP0ESndU
Continuity & Differentiability: https://ww...
Ok ill take a look
Do you think its possible to solve this without changing the limit?
Hmm perhaps there’s another method but the most obvious and easy one is for sure the u sub
It’s easy to understand the concept, just take a look at a few examples and you‘ll get it
Yea i understand it now, its just that my teacher never mentioned such a method
Anyways thanks @timid silo for ur help
@unreal musk
Does that include u substitution?
Nope it’s a bit different you just form your integral to a new integral
But this also doesn’t work always

Hiiii I need help with this because I only just found out that 125^1/3 would be 3 radical 125 so idk which one exactly makes that true
$\sqrt[a]{x^b}=x^{\frac{b}{a}}$
Şêro
It does 125 is for example a real number
Ignore this now
What can you write $\sqrt[3]{125}$ as with the rule mentioned?
Şêro
@fallen inlet in fact the more general rule is that the definition of $\sqrt[n]{a} = x^{\frac{1}{a}}$
Because in the problems there’s x in all equations
.
Benjamin
See this, your x is 125
Yes
so did you get this dia?
Yes
You can rewrite the $\sqrt[3]{125}$ as $125^{\frac{1}{3}}$
Şêro
Not really
Now you need to use this rule $(a^b)^c=a^{b\cdot c}$
Şêro
do you get why we are using this rule?
This
Well tell me what’s your a,b, and c in this case
so we have $(125^{1/3})^x$ right?
Benjamin
Yeah
1/3 =b ?
It doesn’t matter if it’s integers or fractions, a,b and c can stand for anything
1/3 is a number right?
its not an integer right
Nooo
Yes
so use the rule
125^1/3timesX ?
yes
Ohhh ok I got it now thx
But there’s another kind of similar can u also help me ???
It’s this and I only know that 81^1/3 is 3 radical 81
Should I simplify that
You need to find the factors of 81
$81=9\cdot9=3^2\cdot 3^2=3^3\cdot 3$
use \times sero
Şêro
Not used to that
Oh
Okay
What about the extra 3 s
And stuff
In the answer options
I only ended up with 3 radical 3
And 3 inside the radical used to be 81
Or is 3^3 times 3 the same as 3^3 radical 3?
now take this equation to the 1/3 exponent
and apply the power rules
Ok
what do you get?
Benjamin

you mean cos(a)cos(b)/cos(a)cos(b) ?
numerator / cosacosb and denominator / cosacosb
such thing:
$\frac{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta-sin\alpha\text{}sin\beta}{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta+sin\alpha\text{}sin\beta}=\frac{\frac{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta-sin\alpha\text{}sin\beta}{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta}}{\frac{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta+sin\alpha\text{}sin\beta}{cos\alpha\text{}cos\beta}}$
Joanna Angel
and that is almost all
do what i say
$=\frac{1-\frac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}\cdot \frac{\sin\beta}{\cos\beta}}{1+\frac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}\cdot \frac{\sin\beta}{\cos\beta}}$
Joanna Angel
yes! 🙂
they require experiences and practises
but i have to revise them since i am doing calc next sem
ok)

Ok I have a system of equations that I have to solve.
p^2+2p+q=24
2q+p=4
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 was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above
I don’t know where to begin
do you know any method at all for solving systems of equations?
Yes, I know a few. I believe you can add the equations, subtract them, or substitute
Or you could graph them (but I’m not familiar with this)
okay so we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, p and q
you're right that we can kind of add and subtract with them
so with that in mind, what operation would you do here with the two equations?
Addition?
well, i think it'll be easier if we just try and work with one variable, don't you?
how can we work with only one variable here?
Each equation has multiple unknowns
yes, but my point is that with some creative addition or subtraction we can derive an equation of only one unknown
then solve for one, and use that to solve the other.
I get that
can you see any way of getting that single variable equation?
imagine the first equation is a variable, A, and the second is B. how can we add or subtract multiples of these equations together like xA + yB = C
there's 2p in the first equation, and only p in the second equation
so if we wanted to get rid of 2p, what should we do?
Could we multiply the second equation *2 and then subtract the two equations?
I feel like that’s not what you said but I’m not sure what else
no you are on the right track
so we multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract.
how would you set this up?
ugh im sorry, i wasn't paying attention. notice if we get rid of p we are still going to work with 2 variables because p^2 remains.
so we should get rid of q
similar logic though
yes
$$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}} {2a},$$
b0ngl0rd
What is X
p in this case
Oh
there will be two solutions
its what i got
what did you get
-3+-sqrt-343
Wait no
I got
-3+-sqrt361
Ok so My final answer is p=(4,5.5) and q=(0,4.75)
Idk what’s an exact answer
fractions, radicals
Sorry, what’s a radical?
root signs
can you write it out in exact form?
the answer before you made them decimals
9.5/2
decimals are an "approximate" answer when working by hand
Uh
Yeah that’s exactly what I got
Should I just write that for p
its a better answer in nearly all cases unless it asks you specifically to use decimals
but you had it right, so good job
How did u get 19/4
you should practice this if you plan on taking college algebra
I’m a junior right now

My
school system is strict with taking classes
U can take AP calc only senior year
OK anyways thank you for
The help
So much
And being patient
well, what i mean is, if you plan on going further. itll help you a lot to work with pen and paper
no problem, good luck with your class

The base of the right prism is a triangle and its side has lengths a=6 cm and b=5. Calculate the surface area of that prism, if your height isH 4 cm
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
yes
wait
c=H so thats 4
ive found the base thats a times b
i dont have it on paper
let me write it
What is a "right prism"
wait
since english isht my firdt
but the bases in this case
are triangles
ive found a b and c
then found the base
it still wont come out
right
i csnt seem to do it
write it on paper
we can't tell what you're doing wrong without seeing it in writing
@kind gust Has your question been resolved?
hello @kind gust I can help if you are here
scheme looks kind of...
weird
is that triangle prism?
triangle base, two bases are equal shape and their surfaces parallel?
yeah they will need two more rectangles to solve this bad boy
i dont like how only 2 lines connect base vertices
also triangle on top must be same as on bottom
unless perspective, but perspective isnt very common in math schemes
actually perspective is bad as i know, distortion can be confusing

Hi
this is your channel
I have a binomial question and I just need to know if its correct, the question I have is "Six people are asked to choose a number between 1 and 20, what is the probability that two people choose the number 9", would I use the formula nCr(20,0)(9)^0(11)^9 + nCr(20,1)(9)^1(11)^8 + etc, until I reach nCr(20,9)(9)^9(11)^0??
@silk mauve i think ur in wrong channel
is there a binomial channel
No u jus gtta start an available one
oh ok
!15min
Please only use the <@&286206848099549185> ping once if your question has not been answered for 15 minutes. Please do not ping or DM individual users about your question.
x+y=9 and xy=20
write y=9-x in the second 20=xy=x(9-x)=-x^2+9x => x^2-9x+20=0

I want to make help channel
sqrt(5+sqrt(24))=1/(sqrt(5-sqrt(24)))
There is also exponential x
set a=(sqrt(5+sqrt(24)))^x then the equation becomes a-10=1/a
Ohh
this is a quadratic equation
welcome!

✅
One sec could you tell me how we got 1/a I know there is - but how we understand its going to be 1/a?
ahh now I see
After I solve the a-10=1/a I get x = 5+- sqrt(26)
from that part how do we solve it?
moriaritie
,w solve a-10=1/a
ok a is positive because 5+√24 is positive so a=5+√26
Ghhidhdxkxi
mhm
so (sqrt(5+sqrt(24)))^x=5+√26 use log

How do I find the sum of the smallest elements of r elements subsets of the set {1,2,3,...,n}?
let k be a number between 1 and n. in how many sets of r numbers does it appear as the smallest?
incorrect.
(n-k) choose (r-1)?
yes
Oh ok and any element greater than or equal to (n-r) cannot be a smallest element? thus k ranges from 1 to (n-r-1)
Yeah yeah right n-r+2 and higher can't be
F(n,r) = $\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n-r+2} k\binom{n-k}{r-1}}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n-r+2} \binom{n-k}{r-1}}$?
Normed
How do I simplify this to (n+1) over (r+1)?
