I am enable to find the slope help..........
first identify two points on that line
(-5,-2) and (-7,1)
and it passes through a point below x=0 so the intercept negative
whats gradient slope ?
gradient = slope
didnt knew that
damn
ur trick solved it without atually solving
yes
(-5,-2) isn't a point on that lime
its clearly there wdym its intersecting isnt it
(x1, y1) are the coordinates of one point on the line and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the other line
note that you cannot have (y1-y2)/(x2-x1)
well ik that much
i mean the blue line is intersecting those two perfect spots so shouldnt it be ?
no
if you are referring to the intersection with the axes, those are two separate points
yeah ik that
so if the intersecting line is above x that means y intercept is + ? @craggy tundra
(-5,-2) is somewhere else
oh
yes
if you want the coordinates of a certain point, pick one point one the line
and identify it's x and y coordinate
but why is that
wait
so (-7,1) is corret ?
the graph quality is too poor, but based on the intercepts which they supposedly want you to use, (-7,1) won't be on the line, it'd be very close though

can someone tell me how we got this
:D
u can prove this using the sum of angle for cosine
then u do something with that formula and trig identity to derive that
yes i am familiar with this
but is it like a play on formulas
or is it deeper than that
how did we get it from cos2x = cos^2x - sin^2x and sin^2x + cos^2x = 1

What would be the quickest way to prove this has no solution, I really want to teach my friends how to solve this question as quickly as possible as it is a college entrance test practice question, and part of CETs are time management. Do I just tell them to skip it or what?
personally i just tried substitution and found nothing from the choices worked but that kinda takes way too long and how fast you do it mentally or on paper lol
well if u substitute from the choices it’s easy to see A and B don’t work because it makes a denominator undefined and then plugging in 0 is always relatively easy
because if you plug in 0 you
immediately get
-1/2 = 3/2
which is false
so it must be D
yeah i found substition to be the fastest, i guess I'll just tell them to substitute
thanks, really needed a second opinion on it lol thanks

let's say you have a plane defined by f(x,y) = z. You know the directional derivative of f(x,y) in 2 arbitrary (different) directions. How do you find the maximum value of the derivative across all directions given that info?
I am not quite sure where to start
The derivative a specific point, or through the entire domain?
its a plane so same direction = same derivative no matter where it is right?
Oh so it's of the form z=ax+by+c?

hi could i get help with the start, i have come across a few of these questions where the derivative is geiven and a function at o is equal to zero but i always forget hoe to solve them
here is what i have done
Ok
any ideas @safe ravine
Do u know minima maxima
In first part they have asked when potential becomes minimum
yeah, do a double derivative
I mean they asked to show
No
oh
We begin simply
ok
the derivative is 0
yeah ive done that in my working
for maxima f''(x) should be -ve and for minima f''(x) should be +ve
yeah
Now as u have found the points
Where f'(x)=0
To prove maxima minima
Just check the above condition at that points
what should i do with the -1
cos it only says 1 in the question
ok
@crisp ember Has your question been resolved?
That only shows local maxima/minima and not global..
Yes (if the domain is closed and bounded).
But the question asked simple things
So told it simply
It said to prove
(Mainly it wants u take the second derivative)

Well you don’t even have to take second derivative if the point is so to check for global maxima and minima
Just pick the largest and smallest one between the candidates
I didn’t even read the question and yeah I see your point now, since we’re only given the derivative then that’s okay in this instance I suppose
Wouldn’t matter, you can still show
;-;
So what u want
I should directly put it in the f'(x) for it to be zero
We don't have f(x)

Well if you can show that the derivative after the maximum is always negative and likewise positive at the left (up to the minimum) then I would say that’s a better route to really ensure it’s not just a local maximum
And you can argue through the given point aswell
I don’t want anything, I agreed with you in this case that it’s sufficient (if one is lazy)

Suppose that I have a very small sample (n = 4) and from it, I get a sample proportion p'=1.0 (all successes). What would be an appropriate statistical test for me to do for me to say with statistical significance that it is greater than another proportion (p=0.75)? I've tried deriving the p-value by calculating the exact null distribution and I get a p-value of 0.0. I'm not sure this is correct though--
I've constructed the distribution through a discrete binomial probability distribution for numbers 0-4 (possible values given the sample size)
Sorry if my statistics jargon is a bit off;;; It's been a while since I've formally learned stats
well ig you want the probability of getting a result at least as strong (all successes) under the assumption that p=0.75
so that would be 0.75^4
hmm i think i didnt include that in when i was minusing from the 1 since its a greater than
means that p > 0.05 though, a shame
oh well, much thanks+

how did they find the imaginary part
the isin(theta) and -isin(theta) in numerator cancel out
so should i convert it to cartesian form first
^
im not sure where the 0/2+0 is coming from exactly
but i do see that the isin cancel out if i do it in cartesian form
yeah
why did they write 0/(2+0)? Specifically, why 2+0 in the denominator. It doesn't matter though, as the numerator is clearly 0, but I think they send the wrong message.
oh ok
i think ill just ignore it then since there is a clearer method
thanks

hey, can someone explain to me why in step 3 the 3 becomes a -3 in the equations?
(im trying to do the elimination method for this)
they subtracted 3 from both sides
/moved the 3 over
final step for step 2
to make it solvable for y
for example if i gave you the equation 2x + 3 = 1, how would you solve it?
also just saying, ChatGPT is an idiot. It often makes mistakes and presents them like facts. And while it is becoming better with the newer models, i wouldn't trust it with anything, you can't verify to be correct yourself

what are the possible things you can use the expected value formula for a discrete random variable?
as in $\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i p(x_i)$?
is it sufficient to say "this can be used to compute the average trials per success for anything with a consistent probability"
consistent probability
being the key phrase for "possible things" you can use it on

@tame vigil Has your question been resolved?
@tame vigil Has your question been resolved?
@tame vigil Has your question been resolved?
I think you're thinking a little too narrowly about what a discrete random variable can be, considering you're framing it in terms of successes. You're phrasing it as if you are constructing a geometric distribution (or maybe poisson? it's unclear) out of a repeated trial of bernoulli distributions. But you can also use the expected value formula to find (for instance) the expected roll of a die. Or the expected point value for a game of plinko, and so on.
AggressiveNooby
ok, this would be an example of a discrete random distribution, but one that has infinite possible outcomes.
right
so basically im tryna ask
suppose you had a trial with a 1% chance of a success
We can construct such a number by choosing a uniformly distributed value on (0, 1], then cubing it, inverting it, and then taking the floor.
and you could run that trial infinity times
this would compute the average trails per success, which in this case, would be 100
right
You would agree that this would give you a valid discrete probability distribution on the natural numbers
sure
and it would be equal to 1/1^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^3 and so on?
the expected value, in this case, assuming I constructed it correctly
would be pi^2 / 6 (basel problem)
and would represent the value that you expect to pull, on average

I figured out everything in order to be able to graph it though I do not know how to use the information I solved for to graph it and I have questions as how do I know if I'm above the x axis or below the x-axis when the concavity is down or up or when it's decreasing and increasing. Thank you for your time and help
@violet stream Has your question been resolved?
Hi
To know if the function is above or below the x-axis, you must do a sign table
To know if the function is increasing or decreasing, you must do the sign table of the derivative of the function. If f'(x)>0, the function is increasing and if f'(x)<0, the function is decreasing. If f'(x)=0, it depends of which signs the derivative have. If f'(x)<0 then f'(x)=0 then f'(x)>0, the function has a minimum. If f'(x)>0 then f'(x)=0 then f'(x)<0, the function has a maximum.
so if f'(x) is increasing it's above the x-axis? if its decreasing f'(x) it's below the x-axis?
That's it, if f'(x)>0 : f(x) increases and if f'(x)<0 : f(x) decreases
Yes, more or less
You need the second derivative
If f''(x) < 0 : f(x) has its concavity down and if f''(x) > 0 : f(x) has its concavity up
oh ok
And it is the same thing for inflection points
The second derivative must be equal to zero with a change of sign around
oh ok I see now

but umm, seems like my solution aint it
so 2sinxcosx + cosx = 0
because the right hand side will be zero
cosx(2sinx + 1) = 0
mhm
and then say sinx = -1/2

can anyone help me find some videos that explain how to solve these types of questions where there are graphs that relate to other graphs for polar eqautions
This Precalculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into polar coordinates. It explains how to convert polar coordinates to rectangular coordinate...
it's not definitive of the relation
but it teaches you how to transform polar to cartesian and vice versa (I think)

I can’t seem to figure out what I did wrong.
Pls help
is the triangle right, first of all?
you are solving for a, correct?
You only use Pythagorean theorem when the triangle has a right angle
If it’s implied then
You foiled (a-5)^2 wrong
and (a+2)^2 wrong
as well as (a+3)^2
I think your foiling was the main error here
I think from there his steps are correct, his foiling is incorrect that’s all
Like the process
not the numbers or coefficients
Ye it’s right angled
Yea, just fix your foiling, if you need any help you can ping me
The process is right, it’s just your foiling at the start that kinda messed it up
correct
Yep
Thanks!
Yw, make sure to fix the other foiling
and then try seeing where that gets you

2nd ques
I have find f(x) is inc function now what
Then you already know it doesn't have two roots, right?
then a and c are down
If a>0, what's f(0)?
So f(0) < 0
yes
So if f is increasing, the root is on the right of that
what are approach to solve such ques?
When a > 0
the main thing is to find where the function is increasing or decreasing
Idk, draw the graph to get an idea of what to look for
It really depends on the question
true
I thought of keeping x= -infinite here
just like in 1
which didn't work
as it wouldn't give us idea of a
In this case they are asking for positive roots, so of course you'll need to do something with 0
Whether you actually compute the root (a function of a) or just check f(0), it's up to you
does points of inflection has anything to do with such kind of ques?
fair enough
Like x^2 - 1 has a local minimum at x=0 and it is negative, and the limits at both -inf and +inf are positive (+inf), so that function has two roots
Of course you can just solve x^2 - 1 = 0 but for more complex functions the same principle applies, as long as the function is continuous

I need to find a sum, but simplifying it doesn't bring me anywhere
Are the C^k_n binomial coefficients?
based on how ive seen this notation be used, a lot of the terms are 0
yup
This is a very beginning of a calculus book, I think it must be solved without integrating. And.. I don't know how to integrate yet.
how does kCn work when k is smaller than n?
shouldnt k always be larger than n to compute the binomial coefficient?
that's the formula
yeah, but arent k and n swapped in the problem?
nope, in this notation n is at the bottom
I guess
I think this can help me solve it
use that formula
and see how (k+1) and k! get multiplied together...
that brought me to the sum of n!/(k+1)!(n-k)!
but I don't know where to go next
Now I am trying to apply this formula
try to not change the denominator
and change the numerator
to find some ...C...
(hint : what do k+1 and n-k sum to)
using this I got: n(2^n + 2n), but not sure if it's correct
I don't think it's correct
hmm, okay, will try again
go back to n!/(k+1)!(n-k)!
got you
which aCb has the exact same denominator?
(k+1) C (n+1) I guess
that's
(n+1)!/(k+1)!(n-k)!
((k+1) C (n+1)) / (n+1) ?
yesss
now I should probably use this formula and get the denominator out of the sum?
yep
so the answer is 2^(n+1) / (n + 1) ?

I know that 1/3 of those numbers are divisible by 3 as the some of their digits are divisible by it but the others I don’t know how to prove it. We can express it as a sequence a_n=100a_(n-1)+1, and a_1=101. I don’t know if that helps
notice the second number has 101...
if you wanna find a way to show all of those are not prime
notice that a_n = .../99 through geometric sum
999….9?
a_n = 101...01 with n 1s is probably the best way
so a_1 = 1
a_2 = 101
a_3 = 10101
etc
notice that 101 = 100 + 1
10101 = 10000 + 100 + 1
1010101 = 1000000 + 10000 + 100 + 1
etc...
so use geometric sum formula
how we do it?
yes
oh I'm not talking about infinite sum
I'm talking about finite sum
Is it with the same equation?
rafilou2003
So we need to prove that 100^n-1 =0 (mod99)
no need
we already know a_n is an integer
it's a given
(also 100 = 1 mod 99 so not much trouble)
Oh my bad
Yes
alright so just to verify
a_1 = (100 - 1)/99 = 1
a_2 = (10000 - 1)/99 = 9999/99 = 101
so seems good
Yes
we wanna show
that for n > 2
a_n is not prime
any ideas?
(what happens when n is even)
It can be factorised into 100^n/2+-1
Yes
Yes so it is composite
yes we just have to make sure that both of those factors are > 1
it's the case because p > 1
so 100^p - 1 > 99
otherwise imagine p = 1
the first factor would be = 1
and no composite
Oh that’s a good point
so
when n is even > 2 we're good
so otherwise n > 2 is odd
hint:
99 = 9 * 11
and 100^n = (10^n)^2
see if you can find the composite
We got 10^n+1 that is divisible by 11 so therefore 10^n-1 is divisible by 9 because it is 2 less
And we have to terms multiplying
That are not 1
Could we prove with this proof for the even as well?
well no
when n is even
10^n+1 is not divisible by 11
10^n + 1 = (-1)^n + 1 mod 11
Ahh
When n is odd wouldn’t it be the same?
Oh nothing
Didn’t thought of the parity there

im not really sure what P(x,y)=0 means? can someone give an example
its a function where the inputs are x and y
this specific one requires the coefficient of y^2 to be 9
so something like
P(x,y) = x^2 + 2y + 9y^2
it can have as many terms of x and y
you know one of the terms is 9y^2
how do i get 9y^2 from y=6cos(6t)
well you know what y is
so try find out what 9y^2 is
square it and multiply by 9, see what you get
ohh i see
you could also get a polynomial using the pythagorean identity, that's a common technique with these problems
if x = 3sin(6t), then sin(6t) = x/3, and cos(6t) = y/6
and you know sin^2(6t) + cos^2(6t) = 1
right
then just multiply whatever you get by whatever constant you need to have the coefficient be 9
Jub they simply want u to eliminate t
so like this then
And get a equation in terms of x and y
Just eliminate t
You can use the relation sin^2t+cos^2t=1 for this
not exactly
Hi neil
if sin^2 + cos^2 = 1, then (x/3)^2 + (y/6)^2 = 1
Right
Wait she might be trying
Ok nvm
This gives us a crispy vertical ellipse
b>a
,w draw (x/3)^2+(y/6)^2=1
Crispy 😋
right
Multiply by a suitable no so we get 9y^2
324
right
So we get 9y^2+36x^2-324=0
yeah
ok thats what i thought
Ok
just multiply every term by 324 then subtract right side
do i just disrregard the polynomial we just found and just find dy/dx
yeah
ok i will try
should just be -2√3 right
What?
wow omg 3/18 is 1/6 not 1/3
Ok i see
i did that
-2/√3
Oh wait
Crap

im not sure as to why order matters in the way you transpose the polynomial to have roots 1/a - 2 instead?
the sol says that u first take the f(x+2) transformation first and then take reciprocal
but i did the other way around and got a diff polynomial, does anyone know as to why the two polynomials differ?
@west delta Has your question been resolved?
Consider
$$ f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^3 f_n x^n = \prod_{n=1}^3 (x - r_n) $$
which has roots $r_n$. Clearly
$$ F(x) = f(x+2) $$
has roots $R_n = r_n - 2$. So, by transforming first, our desired goal becomes
$$ \sum_{n=1}^3 \left(\frac{1}{r_n-2}\right)^2 = \sum_{n=1}^3 \left(\frac{1}{R_n}\right)^2 $$
which is just
$$ \frac{ \sum_{n=1}^3 R_n }{ \prod_{n=1}^3 R_n } = \frac{F_1}{F_3} $$
In other words, transforming first allows the machinery to correctly construct the roots $R_n = r_n - 2$.

hi
There's few parts to the question and I've gotten down to this, lmk if my handwriting is too messy
It's a question on polynomials
Here's the full question, I don't really know how to solve c
O ok
What
Srry if I offended u in anyway for u to act this way
No bro
Like huge stuff
!nospam
!spam
Aah we don't have these commands
It's simple but let's see
@tribal scaffold is ur doubt resolved?
I don't know how to prove part c :[ , I've tried couple of methods but didn't work
I'm in the right channel right??
yes
Yeah that's what I'm trying to
As M is mid point of chord AB
yeah
And AB are intersection points of circle and parabola
See u find y coordinates of A and B
Then simply add them and divide by 2
U will get the y coordinate of M
Uhh wait 1 sec lemme try
Ok
y is prob negative of the x value but I don't really know how to prove it, and the question wants to use something similar to part a and b
See
A and b
Parts have done what
They have solved simultaneously
To get x
Then u can put the x in any of the curves to get y
After getting y they simply added both the values and divided by 2
That's what I did at first but it doesn't equal to negative of x
What
So I thought I'm doing something wrong
How do u know it's equal to -x
If u know it is
Then u are doing some calculation error
Cuz PQ has gradient of -1
Then OM needs a gradient of -1 too since its asking to prove its paralellel
And if I get m and origin, the gradient should be -1 right?
So the y/x of M should be -1
Ook
Aah
