well, yes
but i dont understand how we got there
okay
first I will give you an intuitive sense of it and then i'll show you how to prove it
yes thatd be great
notice that 5^n grows to be much, much bigger than 3^n
as n tends to infinity
do you see why?
yes i can see that
so in a sense we can "ignore" the 3^n term in the sum
which directly gives you the answer 5
replace n with -n in the limit to make it a limit at +infinity
it will be easier to spot
yes
that clears things up
this isn't super rigorous though, there's a nice way to show why this works
yes go for it
it's fine for small limits like this but you should still know why it works
for sure
you can write $\sqrt[n]{5^n+3^n}$ as $5\cdot\sqrt[n]{\frac{5^n+3^n}{5^n}}=5\cdot\sqrt[n]{1+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^n}$
kheerii
i tried that while solving
now if you take the limit as n tends to infinity we just get 1 for the radical term
yes

really quick question. this lowk could be a chem question but it was asked in my linear class so imma ask it here. I'm given a chemical reaction without coefficients and I have to balance it. After I solve the system, I come to the conclusion that the coefficients of the reaction will be positive and negative.
The question asks me to argue that although there is a trivial solution to balancing the reaction, the reaction isn't possible. Is this because a chemical reaction can't have negative coefficients? or is it something completely different?
안녕하세요 기지훈
yo wsg bro
Korean?
type shi
💀
Oh wait nvm
can a chemical reaction have negative coefficients
No
damn ok
tf
then why might a chemical reaction not occur
if i found that i could balance it
!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.
damn aight
made a system to solve for coefficients, now I just stuck on the reasoning for why the reaction cannot occur
looks like you'd have MnO2 + K2CO3 - KNO2 -> K2MnO4 - KNO3 + CO2
the problem with the mathematics part here is that of course the stoichiometric coefficients of a reaction have to be positive
you can "rearrange" the equation to get MnO2 + K2CO3 + KNO3 -> K2MnO4 + KNO2 + CO2
the problem with the chemistry in that reaction is that both MnO2 and KNO2 are being oxidised at the same time (Mn(II) -> Mn(VI) and N(III) -> N(V))
for a redox reaction oxidation and reduction have to occur simultaneously
naw this for my linear class, forget the chem bro 😭
ain't no way he wants us to say that
aight this makes sense
then this is the reason
i mean like yeah, but it's to practice matrix reducing
cuz we need it for other shit
aight thanks
makes sense

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the answer in fraction instead of decimal
I tried to S>D button
It Didn’t change anything
Your answer looks uncannily like pi, have you considered it may be irrational?
I was thinking it’s definitely irrational but my calculator usually includes pi in the fraction. Unless you mean something else by irrational
Hm, Dunno if it still can be expressed in terms of pi and a rational number
Ahh I see
your calculator includes pi in known trig results, but usually they integrate numerically so it won't know a symbolic representation of the answer (especially since it will be in terms of pi)
My homework requires an exact answer. Maybe I’m doing the problem wrong?
in fact the result is in terms of pi^2 which it will definitely not know
well you could just integrate it by hand
a more advanced calculator would be able to do it. but your homework probably expects you to do it by hand
its just sin^2. use a trig identity

Is the use of summation correct here?
I've build a model in excel to estimate the impact on GDP of a certain event.
Shorthand, there are 4 variables: I, S, P, and D
There are 5 different S, P, and D variables.
So when you add them up together, they equal I.
Ex: I = (S1-(S1⋅P1)⋅D1)+(S2-(S2⋅P2)⋅D2)...(S5-(S5⋅P5)⋅D5)
I just want to make sure I've captured this correctly in Eq 3.
Thank you!
@acoustic crypt Has your question been resolved?
you want
$$I_{\mbox{GDP}} = \sum_{i=1}^5 \left( S_i - S_i P_i D_i \right)$$
Shuba
Hm, no, that gives me a different result
Ex:
(1000-1000⋅025)⋅1.5 = 1125
(1000-1000⋅025⋅1.5 )= 625
Shuba
you have this as the formula?
$$I_{\mbox{GDP}} = \left( S_1 - S_1 P_1 D_1 \right) + \left( S_2 - S_2 P_2 D_2 \right) + ... + \left( S_5 - S_5 P_5 D_5 \right)$$
Shuba
No, need more parentheses
Its 1000-(250) = 750, than 750*1.5 = 1125
I = (S1-(S1⋅P1)⋅D1)+(S2-(S2⋅P2)⋅D2)...(S5-(S5⋅P5)⋅D5)
S1 = 1001
P1 = 0.25
D1 = 1.5
So I in this case would be 1125
I think you have the parenteses in the wrong place
Do you mean I = (S1 - S1 * P1) * D1 + ...?
It could be (S1-S1⋅P1)⋅D1
yes!
My question really is focused on the use of summation
(S1 - (S1 · P1) · D1) = (1001 - (1001 · 0.25) · 1.5) = 625.625
If S1, S2, S3 are different, same with the others, does the use of the summation symbol work here?
(S1 - S1 · P1) · D1 = (1001 - 1001 · 0.25) · 1.5 = 1126.125
okay fixed that
$$I_{\mbox{GDP}} = \sum_{i=1}^5 S_i \left( 1 - P_i \right) D_i$$
Awesome, so that would reflect the fact that all the S, P, and D values change?
oops, I've put 1 when it should've been i
Shuba
that ^

looks like you first tried to multiply both sides by 2
which is correct, but you did it incorrectly on the left side
2*(b+b/2) != b+b
sorry i have no idea how to use the bot that makes the math look nice lol
It’s okay I don’t know how to either I’m barely even getting by in math🥲
Okay so wait what did I do wrong and what was I supposed to do I instead
are you familiar with the distributive property of addition?
I don’t know I study in Swedish so idk the English version of everything
Can u explain what that is
this
Ohhh yes I know that
nice, so, what you pretty much did is this
you need to also multiply the first b, by 2
dont put yourself down
so this is what you did in the first step right?
times everything by 2
Yes thats what I did
so just make sure you use the distributive property of addition when you are multiplying the 2
I removed the 2 from b/2 and multiplied the 2 with 9/2
Ohhhh wait so where did 2x come from
No no it’s okay I just am too used to seeing x as a letter in algebra rn 🥲
So wait what happens when I do 2 times b/2
you did that part correctly, it turns to just b
So the answer is b=18/2
no, you also need to deal with this b
So b+b is 2b right or is that completely wrong
its true that b+b is 2b but you dont have b+b
What do I have
yes
Then how do I find 1b
what does 18/2 equal
so you have 3b = 9
ITS 3
yea
Omgggg theres too many steps in algebra my head is gonna explode
Thank u so much though i definitely wouldn’t have been able to solve this myself 😭

As a hint: you have sin^2 a in the denominator, but you want 1 + cos a
If you remember (a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2, and the fact that sin^2 + cos^2 = 1, do you see a path forward?
not really
Continue from here
And throw away everything underneath
You have (1 - cos a)^2 / (sin^2 a)
Step 1: rewrite sin^2 a using the identity above
ohhh
Now you see!
yes but does that result in what i have to prove

How do you use the h definition to find the derivative equation??
My function is f(x)=x^2.
So the definition is
$$f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}. $$
Can you plug you function in there?
Azyrashacorki
Yes
And what do you get?
No worries!
And then the x^2's cancel out don't they?
You should be left with
$$f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0} \frac{2xh + h^2}{h}$$
Azyrashacorki
Anything you can do now?
OHHHH
OKAG THẠNK TYPI
You substitute 0 because h approaches 0 after you factor out the h
Yes it cancels out so you should be left with 2x after substituting h=0.
Oh shoot right
The derivative will depend on x

i’m not sure how to go about solving this question and was also wondering what type of calc question it’s classified as? (e.g optimisation, rate of change, etc)
find f'(1)
then use the equation for tangent line to find the y = mx + c for the tangent line
since you also know that m = -8 and c = 20, use this to solve for a and b
what does this mean 😭
of what does that mean
presumably youre doing it step by step
mhm
i’m assuming that’s the derivative of the function and i got f’(x)=3x^2 + 2ax +b
so you found f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2ax + b
now can you find f'(1) using that information
keep in mind that as a first step, you dont know a and b
so a and b will be variables that you cant get rid of, theyll be in that f'(1)
would that be f’(1) = 3 +2a +b
alright so i did do the workings to get 2a+b = -11
?
have you heard of an equation/formula for making a tangent line
would that be y-y1 = m(x-x1)
have you seen $y=f'(x_1)(x-x_1)+f(x_1)$ before?
mtt
no ☹️
have you seen the same thing but with a different variable for x1?
nope
how did you learn this?
it’s a level two new zealand math standard i’m learning in school
it’s from a past paper
do you know the point-slope formula for a line?
nope 😭
the line with slope (m) that goes though the origin has equation (y = m x), right?
Invariance
yes
do you know how to do translations? like "translate this graph 3 units up and 2 units to the left" type stuff
its like Im suddenly not here
yes
sorry lol
Is this calc 1 lmao? someone was being an ass with hw lmfao
so translate the line (y = mx) so it goes through the point ((x_1, y_1))
Invariance
i.e. translate it x_1 units right and y_1 units up
calc 2 in nz form 😔
uh huh
that makes sense i took calc 2 over summer they didnt have enough time to give us stupid questions like this
you end up with (y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)), or rewriting (y = m (x - x_1) + y_1)
Invariance
and that's the point-slope equation for a line
it goes though the point (x1, y1) and has slope m
mhmmmm
now you use this for tangent lines
if a tangent line has a slope m and passes through (x1, y1)
that would usually be enough information to pin it down to a tangent line
the slope of the tangent you calculate with f'(x1)
remember, the slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative
do you know why that's the case?
nope
do you know how derivatives work?
or something about what a derivative should be like
nope
the short idea is that, for a line, theres one number that represents its slope
for example this is slope 1
now for most functions that youll be caring about, you can do the same "idea"
you can think of the derivative as "slope at this point"
so if you figure out that the derivative is 1, that means you can "zoom in" on the function
and see a slope of 1
does that make sense as an idea
kind of
yes
now say you zoom all the way in at (0, 0)
it looks like this
what slope does this function have at x=0?
can you recognize slopes for lines?
ill just skip over this question
we havent been taught this at school
so its like a diagnostic?
yes
we're not doing graphing for the problem either
you know if they give you a question like this, youre expected to be able to answer it
but you first need to know what a derivative is
alright
now do you want to choose how its taught?
its up to you
then what slope is this line?
isnt it the easiest to set their derrivates equal
and then set their regular equations equal
we're going over what a derivative is first
oh
you can recognize what slope a line has from how steep it is
do you see here it goes "2" up for every "1" right?
thats the sort of steepness it has
yes
this way you read off that the slope of the line is 2
the slope tells you how much y changes when x changes
in this case y is twice as much as x
right
yes rise/run
no clue
does y change on this line?
Im just asking for how steep the line is
easiest way to understand
I dont need its equation
the equation would need both a slope and a point
here Im just asking for the slope, or what direction the line is facing
and h "approaches 0" you get closer to the actual slope
mhm
when I asked you, you couldnt recognize it
are you sure youre seeing what I mean by a slope of 0
so what are you looking for for a slope of 0
(what kind of lines have a slope of 0)
@pearl pine horizontal lines have a slope of 0
if slope = rise/run, then a line that never rises or falls would have a slope of 0

not mentioned if the given equation is a quadratic equation
wdym
In a quadratic equation we have coefficient of x^2 should not be equal to zero
that's a part of the definition of the quadratic equation
but here it is just mentioned that the given equation is just an equation
oh ok so it should realy be 0<k<3
because if it was 0 then it aint no quadratic anymore
doesn't matter if the resultant equation isn't quadratic
what happens to the equation when k=0, does that equation have any solutions
what i got when solving the equation is 4k(k-3)<0
after is subsituted it into the discriminant and solved
that is correct but the discriminant is defined for a quadratic equation
and again the quadratic equation is defined for coefficient of x^2 equal to zero
ig the question was wrong 
the question is fine

can I please get help with this
this is what I did
z = 1/2(e^iw + e^-iw) + 1/2i (e^iw - e^-iw)
took e^iw and e^-iw comman
and trying to get rid of i in 1/2 i
but idk how to do that
Maybe try using i=exp(i pi/2)
so this is what I am getting:
e^iw(1/2 + 1/2i) + e^-iw(1/2-1/2i) = z
should i sub i = e^ipi/2 in place of 1/2 i ?
when i do that
i get
1/2(e^iw + e^w + e^-iw -e^-2ipi/2)
i think i am doing something wrong
This looks fine
Just combine the real parts together into an A
And factor out an i in the exponent form the rest
@cold brook Has your question been resolved?
I am having trouble doing that
Only the terms in the exponent that don't have an i are real
yea so I get something like
R(e^i + 1 -e^-i) - Be^-2i
where R = 1/2 e^w
B = e^pi/2
This isn't the right exponent
e^(iw) + e^w = e^w ( e^(iw-w) +1)
so this becomes:
1/2(^w ( e^(iw-w) +1) + e^-iw -e^-2ipi/2) but i still have e^-2ipi/2 term
You messed up after this
oh
The i=exp(ipi/2) should be used in two places
@tardy epoch i am getting this now
@cold brook Has your question been resolved?
How did e^w magically appear in the numerator
You really need to be more careful with your basic exponent rules and algebra

Quick question : What does this Mirrored E means? Can't find where in my notes we have talked about this...
there exists at least one
Ehh boy, dunno where I could've covered this in set theory. Thank you.

Could someone please assist me with this?
Well basically I would take a look at the vector space axioms and briefly explain why it should be a vector space or not
@bitter gust Has your question been resolved?
Is this one not a vector because it doesn't satisfy the 0 vector?
react here
the null function satisfies the properties of being odd actually.
n(x) = 0
then n(-x) = 0 and -n(x) = -0 = 0
Hmm, but the zero polynomial must be in the set for it to be a vector space. However, the zero polynomial is of even degree and it does not satisfy the requirement of being an odd-degree polynomial.
The degree of 0 as a polynomial is 0?
So it's not a vector space?
but the question is if we go by the definition of an odd function
the nullfunction satisfies that
sin(x) is also an odd function
now which degree does sine have
Isn't it only talking about it being of odd degree tho?
even though it's not a polynomial
oh
you are right
yes
there should be this very subtle but crucial difference
between odd degree polynomial and odd function
then by that it doesn't have a neutral element and it shouldn't be a vector space
Yeah that's what I was confused about when you said function lol
I just read the degree of the nullfunction is not 0 but -inf wtfffffffffffff
oh a matter of definition

yes
if you mean something like for all x …
because the negation would be there exists x such that …
if that’s true then the original is false
yea sure
you can consider the negation first
and then conclude that the original is false
yea i wouldn’t
you can though of course
sometimes if it’s a true or false sort of question you might want to start out by saying if it’s true or false
so the grader knows
immediately ya know
it’s personal preference i guess
you’re welcome

can somebody verify if this proof is valid?
my friend thought of a math problem and i put it into o1
You have a grid of lattice points that consists of 2 rows and N columns. For each point in the top row, you arbitrarily draw a path to connect to a separate point in the bottom row such that each point in the top row uniquely connects to a point in the bottom row, the path you draw never goes up (so you can draw the path going side to side), and no more than two paths intersect. Now for each point in the top row, retrace its path down to the bottom row, except every time you hit an intersection of two paths, trace the intersecting path. Prove that if you perform this operation on any point in the top row, you'll always end up at the point in the bottom row directly below it in the lattice grid.
i already solved it before with induction
but i cant tell if this works too
also idk if i wrote the problem clearly enough either

Hello
I'm trying to understand the proof of an article, but there is one step that I don't understand where it comes from.
It is not clear to me where W comes from, the way it was built.
They may not be telling you how W was discovered here. How does the proof continue?
I need to understand the whole test and that W, I don't understand how it was constructed.

I don’t know how
nothing else is given?
Yes
You better give more information
There’s no
Everything is a perfect square?
It’s just like this
Yes
That is more information
There’s not it’s just that middle is 2 by 2 and everything is perfect square
knowing all the primitive quadrilaterals are squares is sufficient to solve this.
you can start by naming the sides of all tthe squares
Uh…
idts you can solve it by this much info

how do i begin?
12
hm
I mean, the hint is very powerful and solves the integral immediately
I am not sure how to say without spoiling it
i got it now
That is perfect
divided everything by cosx
What do you get after that
nah wait i didn't get anything lmao
cosx.tan^2x in Nr
Cos^6x instead of cosx
I mean this
oh but why? for the Dr?
,w ((cos^3x+sin^3x)^2/cos^6x)
def not this
Ok but to reach to that integral u have to do what i just did
Wait u can get that by cosx, but i thought it was easier by cos^6x
I guess is the same
You have to do some identity proofs to work on this
Without that u will have a lot of problems to find out
Just do the kind of… prove this = that
That helps a lot in this kind of integrals
Also, the proofs try to do from one side or from other side, without using both sides (in general)
btw i also did by expanding the square in Dr
oh okayy
The sub is faster
got 1+2cos^3xsin^3x
yeah right
idk how to do it from here
,w is (1+tan^3x)^2 = 1+2cos^3xsin^3x?
How did u get that?

help with 6 and 7
for 6, sps they are, then square both sides and arrive at a contradiction
7 is a bit...odd
wait start with 6
so sps for a contradiction that there existed such numbers $x$ and $y$ with $\sqrt{x+y}=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}$
so we assume they are not posituve real numbers?
LY
then square both sides to work out what our hypothetical $x$ and $y$ are
absolutely not
LY
what does (a+b)^2 equal?
a2 +2ab + b2
for 7, i guess we just do by exhaustion?
but that just kinda is true because $\mathbb{R}$ is an integral domain
LY
did i do right on 6?
you get x+y+2sqrt(xy) on RHS
ya i realised forgot the xy term
not even close
so xy = 0
yes, then appeal to 7
alright so for 7 we do the same?
what
it's a completely different question
depends how you define R but ig appeal to field axioms
ok so what we do
but if a and b are two diffrent numbes they cant multiply to get 0 right?
@old lily
don't ping me
given the context, i think they might just want you to go "if x and y are greater than 0, then xy > 0"
etc.
but it's a bit dumb
thanks LY, your a lifesaver
ya zuc if x and y is 0 it is ofcourse that xy is 0
if xy=0 there is no two numbers who can get zero yk

@runic estuary Has your question been resolved?
so for the average speed, first find the total distance travelled
so that's 27.4 * 3
,calc 27.4 * 3
Result:
82.2
ohokay
well the difference with velocity is it's now displacement/time
displacement = final position - starting position
so just 27.4 m
third base is 27.4 m away from home base
and then the time taken is the same as in part a
orientation is direction, so say northwest
yep!
apologies for the colours
no that's different
it just says the distance between the bases is 27.4 m
the hypotenuse is already 27.4
imagine the green arrow in the picture I sent
for displacement it doesn't matter how they travel
it just matters:
- where they start
- where they finish
- velocity is displacement/time
- displacement is distance from third base to home base, so 27.4 m
- time is the same as in part a
that's all the working you need to show for the magnitude of the displacement
then just look at the diagram, northwest
for the orientation
or you could write the bearing, that would be 315 degrees
yes that's wrong
okok
ye
$\Delta (distance)$ doesn't make sense
south
yeah don't write down something you don't understand

y= 3x²-7x+2/x²-4
Do you know how to factorize quadratic equation?
3x²-7x+2?
Ya
Well you can try finding roots in lengthy way (-b±√D)/2a
K I will try
Or if you want to factorize, find 2 numbers whose multiplication will be 3 * 2 and whose addition/subtraction will be -7
It's 2 and 1/3
Yeah both are positive?
Yes
So your factorisation will be
(x-2)(x-⅓) in numerator
Ok
Tbh graphing can solve every problem
Well for range usually numerator doesn't matter, we need to make sure denominator is not 0
Ok so the numerator is the answer to finding the range of an rational function when the two are quadratic?
Denominator is actually, numerator can become 0 but denominator should not become 0

It's asking me to prove this is true
But it's literally not provable
But my textbook said it was and it's trying to do
x^2+2 = x(x+2)
Like what. Am I wrong or..?
i believe there is a typo, and that it is supposed to be x^2 + 2x
But the equation itself
is wrong
?
That u cant prove it because
the question is wrong
it's wrong as written, yes

how is this not a polynomial function
xy is a binomial innit?
it's a polynomial for sure. polynomial have terms>=0 iirc
5x is a monomial
hmm yeah thats what i thought too but the answer key says it isnt
ill ask my teacher about it though
answer key might be wrong
it is a polynomial 🙂
monomials and binomials are specific types of polynomials
by the vastly used definitions of those terms
i doubt your class is using a different definition, but its possible
talk to your teacher about it
my bad I thought you were asking if it is a trinomail, yeah its a polynomial

Why would this be an infinite limit (therefore DNE) - I get that it's DNE, but isn't sqrt(x^2 +) irrational?
Looking at #30 here
who cares if its irrational
moreover, it's not always irrational, depends on the value of x
^^
So how do I know that it's an infinite limit?
sqrt(x^2+1) > sqrt(x^2) = |x|, and |x| certainly goes to infinity as x goes to infinity.

i need help 😦
So
Let's say you have log base 2
Log2(x) = 2
An interesting mechanic of logarithms is that you can "cancel them out" by turning them into exponents
Pick a matching base
In this case 2
Then i can say
2^(log2(x)) = 2^(2)
Then the 2^log2 cancels; you get
x = 2^2
x = 4
@errant sonnet let me know if that example offers some clarity
Logarithms are like the opposite of exponents
Doing 2^x is the opposite of log2(x)
The same way adding and subtracting are opposite
If i do
x + 1 - 1
I get x
If I do
log3(3^x) = x
And the opposite
3^(log3(x)) = x
If you pick the same "base" for the exponent as the logarithm you can cancel them out
