that should be right
equation of what?
the equation of PQR, or the equation of a line perpendicular to PQR?
i dont have the exact question so i want to use this question to subsitude the values
line perpendicular
the first part was about finding the line perpendicular
then they asked about what is the shortest distance from the origin to the plane
Ok
I’ll assume that means you want to find the line perpendicular to PQR through the origin
ye
you can use the normal vector to do this
thats the shortest distance
wat
or you can use the cross product
no, finding the line and finding the shortest distance are slightly different but related
the shortest distance is a number
ou
do you know how to find the equation of a line in 3D?
i think so
how?
uh
the x axis is j the y axis is k
the i is the
idk about i
i is the one that can move the plane
Isn’t the x axis i and the y axis j
no
ou
yea
it is
so the k is the unit vector in positive Z-axis direction
idk what that means but
i kinda get it
i need to form plane equations to find shortest distance
i kinda get it
ye
thank

how do i find the width and length of a number if only the perimeter is given?
of a number?
i mean rectangle my bad.
you can't generally do that, there are infinitely many solutions
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.
rectangular triangle?
it's right triangle i think
im pretty sure not
theres multiple choices do you want me to show that?
yeah...
there must be a piece of information missing
e.g.:
35, 84, 91
is a valid solution but doesn't match any of your options
why 3 numbers?
those are the three sides
oh, okay
they're a pythagorean triple and they sum to 210
it doesnt even have to be integers though
so there are infinitely many solutions
and all of the options given have a solution associated with them
yea my example shows that even if you require an integer solution, you can find one that doesn't match any of those options
if you don't require integers then all bets are off
none of the options match an integer solutions anyway
wait why not?
why can't i take a 3,4,5 triangle and scale it by 10?
oh wait
that won't sum to 210
nevmind
$f\left(x\right)=\frac{210\left(x-105\right)}{x-210}$
MæthIsAlwaysRight
this function gives length given width
or vice versa
these are the solution that wolfram alpha gives
over positive integers
ha i had to do an annoying amount of algebra but i agree with the formula

I don't understand the definition of Lambda here
shouldn't it be Lambda(v) = something in V''
phi(v) isn't even in V'' its in F
yes
Bungo you're a quick one
Lambda(v) is an element of V''

barely even could get my question off
i.e. a linear functional on V'
and phi is an element of V'
so the left hand side makes sense?
(and is a scalar)
Yeah both sides are in F
I'm just confused why it looks like they're evaluating (Lambda v) instead of Lambda
well you can't apply Lambda to phi
Like, what if I want to know what is Lambda(v) for arbitrary v in V
(Λ(v))(φ)
Λ(v) is an element of V''
V''
Lambda(v) is a linear functional on V' that sends the element phi of V' to phi(v)
Λ(v) is then a function V' -> F
Lambda(v) should be a linear functional psi:V' to F
how is psi defined in terms of v our input
v is not the input to what you're calling psi
Yes I get that
v is the input to Lambda
but psi our output should depend on v in some way
and I'm not seeing how
each v begets a different psi
the psi associated with v accepts an arbitrary phi in V' and maps it to the scalar phi(v)
you might call it the "evaluate at v" map
the input to phi is any element of V'
phi is some arbitrary element of V'
i.e. take any phi in V' and evaluate it at v
that's what the psi associated with v does
yep
and it does it like you described
I see
🔠
So can we say
Lambda(v) = psi
where psi(phi)=phi(v)
for all phi in V'
yep
😓
implicitly psi depends on v
you could even give it a subscript v if you want to make it clearer

this is good

help me i dont really understand this or i just suck but this here say that the function only continuous at x=0 but what if x is an irrational number?
continuous at 0 means continuous at the input value 0
not every point whose image is 0
if x is irrational f(x) is x which approaches 0 as x approaches 0
if x is irrational f(x) is 0 no?
read what i said
sorry. i meant rational
is that your confusion?
im confused in the last line where it say f is continuous at precisely one point that is 0 is 0 the input or output?
input
doğuş hocam burdaysanız selam verirmşsniasz
what language is that
turkish i think
im confused lets say a is irrational number so does limit x approach a is defined or no?
it does not exist
if you approach a via rational values of x then the limit is a
if you approach a via irrational values of x then the limit is 0
so the overall limit cannot exist unless those two limits are equal, i.e. a=0
thank you sir
ohh
snoseph
thank you ma'am

change name pls
WTF
change back
thank you
i was thinking about changing my name to that yesterday when i said i'm back and you made a joke
but i didn't want to sacrifice any devotion to simping for sharp
simping for you was fun times
sotru
but here on the next example it says that if a is irrational the function is continuous
well it is a different function so that sounds plausible
the celebrated popcorn function

skibidi skibidi skibidi
the only time i've ever heard of something being 'celebrated' in math was for the prime number theorem. i think in burton's elementary number theory book
the celebrated prime number theorem
not celebrating enough clearly
I've never heard of it
yep i was right

I need someone to check on some equations
Yes Show them
I got -1/2 as the coefficient of y^2 term in z
But wolfram shows a different number
That doesn’t not equal 1
No it doesnt
but the result from wolfram is 1
it differs from the result from wolfram
why
No he say -9/2 too
That y^2 isint impacted by the multiplication
Yeah that y^2 is chilling since he is not multiplied by anything so he dont change his coefficient
How do you get that -1/2 in front of y^2
He comes from nowhere
It is
And it doenst have to
*he
why you assume y^2 is a male
im curious
or you do not and simply said that because of convenience it brings.
whatever.
it is confusing.
I cannot understand.
Where does the -1/2 comes from in your work ?
it is a calculation mistake which I have just noticed
So you see that the coefficient is 1 now ?
no
1 =/= -9/2
Y^2 dont change between the first and second line
Wait why do you have a time y on your work and not in wolfram input?

but theres no given
idk if the next step is hidden in the conditionals but
-2 less than or equal to x but x must be less than -1

$$Dom(f) = (0, 1) \cup (1, +\infty)$$
938c2cc0dcc05f2b68c4287040cfcf71
@brave burrow Has your question been resolved?
How
its derivative can give you monotonicity, limits will do the rest
Which theorem is that
Limits for finding the asymptotes
We take the limit as x approaches the endpoints of the domain
???
And what happens at x = 1
Thats one endpoint of the domain
He means in term of asymptote and stuff
Well we need the limit as x approaches 0, 1, and +infty so we find the vertical asymptotes
Iirc
Other than dat we can take the limit as x approaches -infty and. +infty for the horizontal asymptotes
IDK how to find oblique asymptotes doe
-infinity of lnx ?
I forgot domain of lnx is > 0
My bad it was just a general comment about asymptotes
Nah you just scared me a little bit
Do you make sign tables of derivative and then the arrows under ?
the reason I'm making you do stuff like that to find the image
is to make a variation table
Yes! This
variation table = image given
so if you find the sign of f'
and the limits at the bounds of your domain
(left and right limits)
you can make the last row of this table
When does it is greater or equal to zero
They are complementary
Wdym
Solve youll see
Ok a moment
Like if something is positive on [1,2] only its negative all the others times so on (-inf, 1)U(2, +inf)
Like this but on top top u only write the e
When is it zero
S0 confusing
What is confusing ? All ?
No only one e
And put two lines under the 0 all the way long to the bottom
And add 1 and put it two lines till the bottom too
Those are forbidden values
So we represent them with two bars
Broo u draw it
Ok ok
So
Some explanations
I put the interesting values of x in the order on the x-line
Such like when the derivative will be zero, the forbidden values.
In f'x line i put the sign of it
So you follow what u solve here
And after i put the variations of the function f with the limits and images at point where
f'(x)= 0
Then i look at the least value and the greatest value which are the answers to the question
With care of the jumping interval, i put an union
I understand the table thingy
Has a lot of condensed info but i got it
How is this table thing related to finding the image of the function

Be careful e is not a forbidden value, so its just a image calcul and there must not be two bars
And there are two bars at 0 and 1
My bad
You wrote the interval of the image for values of x
Ahh bolzano
Look for x in (0,1) the image interval is (-inf, 0)
Hum, not quite
But the idea is the same
Or maybe its bolzano, but i would just say what we are doing
Well we used bolzano to find e, if it changes sign it must be at a root i think
Let me fix the table
No the derivative change sign
Not the function f
And moreover its not a root since f(e) = 2e
Actually that goofy function has no root by bolzano
Indeed
Ln(0.5) ?
,calc ln(0.5)
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Undefined function ln
,calc log_e(1/2)
The following error occured while calculating:
Error: Undefined function log_e
,w ln(1/2)
See
Fair exponent is -1
Just a fast remainder: ln(x) is negative on (0,1]
1 included?
0 is negative and positive
The only one to be like this
Its neutral number
(Ok i admit its more complicated than that but for us it doesnt change anything since 1 isint in the interval of the function)
So all good ?
I was reading this https://math.stackexchange.com/a/26708
Yeah i was on wikipedia and they say it depends from where you look 💀
I still need to justify which theorems i used, but maybe for this one I'll skip those points tbh this exercise was a hefty one
Honestly
I clearly dont understand why they want you to cite theorems name, many just have no name
Like this is derivative purpose to find this
So
Imma be honest this is not calculus class is like intro to real analysis
But I'm not even in university yet so idk why they make us namedrop theorems
Great musical taste btw
Even when they dont have one kekw
Yeah, how was the name of the table thing btw
Ive just ended hs and the only i know are pythagore, bolzano, thales, bachet- bezout and gauss
Well, i know very little euclidian geo, so idk about that
Oh and btw, naming a theorem is not the justifying part, the real part is the given statement and assumptions required
U know a lot to be in HS
Depends hs
Ive learnt topo basis and triple integral there
Nah bro dont say this please
Youre not weak, clearly not
You have good thinking, and most importantly you dont seem to give up a problem
Is it late hs ?
And i can assure since i have talked with exams inspector and done some oral exam that the most important part is to not give up
Everyone can enter university here, its open to everyone and completely free, but it lasts 6 years in total and first year is a year in which you have to pass this kinda filters to see if u make it to uni(this is in university but not really) (argentina)
I am doing first year, not hs but also not uni per se
Ok so you have to pass it, im sure youll get it
Thank u for the kind words, i will try to live up to the expectations
Have a good one sir

Then do it in the normal order by deriving the antiderivative
Ohhh
Big brain
Chain rule in reverse is called u-substitution and it's treated as a separate technique that you'll learn about at some point
I did learned that tho

Help with this question
Be careful, it’s <CAB = 37º, not <CBA
Yeah
So give me a minute let me re do it and show it to u
Sure
Aka this formula
No
Law of cosines suggests that
Let me just screenshot from wikipedia gimme a sec
ok
Remember the cos(angle) has to be the angle being sandwiched between the two sides
8^2 = 7^2 - c^2 -2(7*c) Cos 37?
Re draw the triangle
Yes yes yes
Then I get 64 = b^2 +49 -2b -14 Cos 37
Did you expand $2(b*7)cos(37^{\circ})$ right
candies
Is use of calculator allowed?
Do you know the quadratic formula?
Yeah do you know how to find the roots of this equation by the qudrtic formula
I learned it during this year summer school
I wouldn't say 100% but like 80 or 70%
This guy
So when ax^2+bx+c=0, you can find x by this equation right?
Yeah
Try to convert this equation into the form of ax^2+bx+c=0
How do I deal with the cos 37
That seems only problem for me to convert it
Is it b^2 - 14b - 12 = 0?
Not confident at all
Treat cos37 like a normal number
like just like 7 and 2.5 or pi
it's just a constant number
check if you expanded this right btw
Idk what it mean by expanded
like
this equation is a bit wrong
closer to 12.4
Weird
okay gimme a sec
the cos(theta) in the formula, is the angle between the 2 sides known
here it gives u angle BAC
u cant do this bcuz u cant find cos C
.
Oh ok I didn't use the roots equation thats' why
i see

I am struggling solving this question
Have you ever heard of Heron's Formula?
i haven't
So does the question setter wants you to calculate area by basic geometry?
yes
okay
what have you tried so far?
so i have drawn a triangle bisect into 2 right trangles, showing the hypothenuse as 30 and the adjacent as 12
perfect
wait is it just pythagorean theorem
yes
if i’m trying to find the iroc for a composite function like f(g(x)) and im using the formula f(x+0.0001) -f(x)/ 0.0001, would i add 0.0001 into only g(x + 0.0001) or would it be f(g(x+0.0001)+0.0001)?
@shell gale Has your question been resolved?
It will be $\frac{f(g(x+0.0001))-f(g(x))}{0.0001}$

can someone help me solve this
i got 1.380 as my original answer but its wrong
also having a issue with this problem
@lament ledge Has your question been resolved?
youll use the standard deviation formula which is
\sigma={\sqrt {\frac {\sum(x_{i}-{\mu})^{2}}{N}}}
i dont think your command worked
how do i translate that into text form
why do you want to translate it into text form?
in your case the population mean is 154.2, the size of the population is 10
because this assignment is on a website
the formula isnt the answer
its just the formula you use
you need to plug in the values
i got 1.812
is that correct
First, I found the midpoints for each time interval: 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5.
Then, I calculated the mean time spent in line using these midpoints and their frequencies.
Then, I determined the squared differences from the mean for each midpoint, weighted by their frequencies, summed them up, and divided by the total number of customers to find the variance.
Then, I took the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation, which according to my calculator is approximately 1.812.
its possible that im just not using the right calculator
wait i thought you were talking about the acrobat problem
let me check for the time problem
talking about this one
yeah i know now, i just thought you were talking about the acrobat one before you clarified
well all of your steps seem to be correct, but the answer is supposed to be 1.380 i think
lets go through this step-by-step, what mean did you get for the time spent in line
thats weird
.
mean = total/number of customers = 605.5/279 = 2.170
the / means divided
ok thats correct
whats next step
what did you get for the sum of the weighted squared differences?
Total = 214.783 + 25.5663 + 7.0835 + 72.9279 + 211.7471 = 531.1078
So, the sum of the weighted squared differences is approximately 531.108 i believe
may need to recheck
ok thats also correct
its 531.534 to be exact
but the calculations are correct regardless
so the next step is you divide by the total number of observations
this is what i have
variance = sum of weighted squared differences/total number of observations = 531.534/279 = 1.906
ok then you take the square root
and get approximately 1.380
i wonder why the test is marking it wrong, everything seems to line up
standard deviation = checkmark 1.906 = 1.380
i am unsure too
double check?
try 1.381
unfortunately not 1.381
somethings wrong
ask a teacher perhaps? maybe the question was talking about something else
i have tutoring tomorrow so i can check there
but im just so confused with this math stuff nowadays
ok, you wanna atleast try this one
not try but help me step by step
for this one the standard deviation is approximately 30.5lbs
sorry i didnt read that message before sending
i just gave you the answer since clearly you already knew how to calculate standard deviation/had no problems with it
this website my teacher gave us to do homework is a bit iffy sometimes
i can confirm
im suprised 30.5 was correct was expecting it to be wrong not saying your math is wrong
this is the big bad of my assignment, ive tried this 2 times with a tutor and i still got it wrong
wait afk
no biggy
back sorry for the hold up
what do you find confusing/not understand in the assigment so i can help you with it?
ok well lets go through it question by question
first the mean
you add up all of the values and divide by 10, which gets you 67.5
so i think you just made a small error in calculation on the first one
i think so too
the standard deviation rounded to one decimal place is 6.9 not 7.0
i think you did the calculations right but the incorrect mean made the whole answer incorrect
since you calculated using the wrong mean
for the next question, the intreval of the mumbers one standard deviation from the mean is 60.1 to 74.4
since you do mean - s.d for the first one and mean + s.d for the second one
and then within two standard deviations you get
53.2 to 81.3
the mistake with the upper bound is just caused by the standard deviation calculation being incorrect, and the mistake with the lower bound seems to be a calculation error
anyways now the percentage of data within one standard deviation of the mean is 8/10 so 80%
and the percentage of data within two standard deviations of the mean is 9/10 so 90%
does that all make sense?
yes
okay good
oh i deeply apologize, i made a mistake for the lower bound
its 53.7
not 53.2
the upper bound 81.3 is supposed to be correct though
im gonna double check 81.3 rq
ok
weird
i think somethings wrong with the grading, i mean i literally just substracted a standard deviation from the lower bound for b
and added a standard deviation to the upper bound for b
theres no room for errors in calculation since its ltierally just + and -
and theyve already said that the standard deviation calculation is correct
thats the only way to calculate it i think
i think we need a third eye on this
maybe yeah
but i really feel like theres something wrong with the grading scheme itsself
because i cant find any room for a mistake in the first place

hello
can someone help me spot my mistakes for questions 347 and 351?
i got both the answers wrong
you should take 1/2 out of the integral for 347)
ohh okay i’ll try that
and i’ll rewrite my answers so they’re legible
this is what i got
on my second attempt i still didn’t arrive at the correct answer
you have to change the bounds of the integral
sorry what does that mean
your current bounds are from 2 to 4
right
but since you changed the function to terms of u
you need to change the bounds as well
you know that u = x - 3
so you can substitute x = 2, 4, and find your new bounds for u
when i find new bounds they replace the subtraction part?
yes, you would substitute your new bounds into the definite integral
so the subtraction part would change
oh right i think i learned about that
ok i’ll fix thank you
elp
the answer should be divergent. i have no clue how to get there
oh okay, so we should first consider where the function does not exist
so set i set the denominator to zero?
yes
am i supposed to foil it out
this is just (x-3)(x-3) = 0
no
uh sorry what do i do
makes sense
so we need to evaluate the integral from x = 2 to x = t from the left
as t approaches 3
ohh because the original bounds include 3
wait so if that happens then would the answer always be divergent
yeah
did you find the integral from 2 to t?
essentially, we’re going to do 2 definite integrals
one from 2 to t from the left as t approaches 3
and one from t to 4 from the right as t approaches 3
if both of the definite integrals give a number, its convergent
oh right
wait was i supposed to stop at some point?
oh nvm
where am i making a mistake?
is it the algebra?
wait how am i going to get infinity like this
also you can’t use u in the integral
you have to change u back to x - 3
and when you try to sub in 3
it’ll be -1/0 which doesn’t exist
meaning the integral is divergent

I know we ignore x(t) cause that doesnt affect the height
I think that we find the extreme values?
Also I think I remember something about we can ignore the square root inside the cos() no? But I dont remember the reason why, it has been a long time since I did these
@karmic hedge Has your question been resolved?
To maximise y(t), cos(...) has to be big as possible (you can see that by inspection)
Upper bound of cos(x) is 1
that's when x = 0, 2pi, 4pi,...
So if what's inside the expression inside the cos(...) is equal to 0 anywhere in the range of t, then cos(...) can equal 1
If not, you could just differentiate
Wym by upper bound sry
maximum value that cos(x) can be
Why is the maximum value 1?
I mean like why is the maximum value of cos(sqrt(t^2 - 9t + 20)) = 1
well not maximum
but it definetely can't be bigger than that
(but yes also maximum in this case)
and the answer is because sqrt(t²-9t+20) is a number
real number*
actually
is it?
yeah there is a bit where it becomes complex actually
idk then
<@&286206848099549185>
yes?
u need help on this?
Yes please 😇
I know we ignore x(t) cause that doesnt affect the height
I think that we find the extreme values?
Also I think I remember something about we can ignore the square root inside the cos() no? But I dont remember the reason why, it has been a long time since I did these
First can you explain about this?
sorry tho i cant help in explaning, mainly because im not good in geometry
i do pre-calc, calc, trig,
sorry
?
I dont know how to solve the question
so you want to maximize y(t) right?
do you know about the range of cosine function?
Not really
see $cos(x)\in{[-1,1]},\forall{x\in{\mathbb{R}}}$
77²
SO, the maximum value the cosine function have is 1
I dont really know what much of this notation means
Whats the upsidown Ax and E
it mean that for all angles cosine funtcion returns values between -1 and 1
including both -1 and 1 too
Just when its cos(x)? Or no matter what is inside the cos()?
yeah for any value
Ah cool
okay so now since in the question argument of cosine is dependent on t parameter
we have to check if cosine attains value of 1 or not
since cos(0) = 1
You mean we need to check if cos ever =1?
yes
Because that would be the local max, right?
yup
OK I'm with u so far
not even local but universal
Ah ye
so now we will put argument of cosine equal to 0 and find value of t
if the any value of t we find falls between the given range of t
we can say that cosine will attain its maximum value at that particular value of t
and so we will put 1 at the place of cosine(blahblahblah)
so did you got the plan?
By the argument of cosine do you mean 6cos(sqrt(t^2 -9t+20))-2? Or just the bit inside the cosine?
yeah
just inside cosine
bruh
you'll set the whole thing in cosine equal to 0
I'm still a bit confused sry, I thought we were checking if cosine ever =1?
yes
that's what we are checking
so for cos(x) = 1, x has to be equal to 0
that's why we are doing all that stuff
Ohhhhh
Okokok
I get you now
But wait
What about the 6 and -2?
6cos(sqrt(t^2 -9t+20))-2
we can do nothing about it,
they will remain unchanged
when we verify that cos(something) = 1
we will substitute 1 at the place of cos(something)
Hmmm I still don't understand 100%, the 6 and -2 will both affect the height of the graph, why are we ignoring them
we are not ignoring them
read this thing
Wait, I think I get it
OK yeah I think so
But were doing all of this assuming we get a value of 0 right? (So that cos will =1) what if we don't get a value of 0?
That depends on the question
If you try you'll still get something important
Surely if there's no value where t^2 -9t +20 = 0 we won't get anything then right?
yeah
Either there's a value of 0 and we get it or there isn't and we dont
What other important thing could we get
I mean that depends on the question
not every question is same
I think you should try to solve and understand about this one first
So we have 2 global maxes for t
no, it is better to say that we have 1 global maxima for 2 values of t
Ah ok
did you verified that these values lie in the given interval for t?
Yep they both do
Oh wait, do I plug them in to the equation
Or just check if 4 and 5 are within 8 and -9
They both give 4
yeah
So what do I do now? Which is the answer?
obviously that will be 4
you just calculated it
both?
uh I mean yeah
so the maxima is 4
I dont understand
yeah
The question only wants the maximum height
not the values of t
I thought it meant the graph was like this
Where the first max is t=4 and the second is t=5
so what?
we don't need to care about it
it is same at both
the question wants the maximum of y(t)
not t
😂
