Hello

obtuse pebbleBOT
fierce lagoon
#

Post your question

stable hinge
fierce lagoon
#

Use your log identity

#

$$\log_{a^b}{(c^d)} = \frac{d}{b}\log_a{c}$$

#

So what's another way to represent $25$?

warm shaleBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

stable hinge
#

what?

fierce lagoon
#

Use this rule

#

If you have $log_{25}{(5)}$. You wanna find a way to make this nice. You can start by rewriting $25$.

There @stable hinge

Okay or I guess you can ask and then like dip

stable hinge
#

my bad i have no idea what to do

fierce lagoon
#

$$\log_{25}{(5)}$$
$$\=\log_{5^2}{(5)}$$

shadow estuary
#

Help me pls

obtuse pebbleBOT
shadow estuary
#

how do i solve this

pallid flame
#

easy way: OP is radius so it makes a right angle

#

since OT is 11 radius is also 11

#

so OP is 11 and PR is 60 with OPR right angle

brazen saddle
#

You don't even have to use Pythagoras

#

Actually

#

No joke

pallid flame
#

pythag is the easiest since i don’t remember much else from geometry lmao

shadow estuary
#

wait so then what

brazen saddle
# shadow estuary

Since OR is the hypotenuse it's gonna be definitely greater than PR , and the only option that is greater than PR is option (a)

pallid flame
#

OP and PR are legs with right angle OPR

shadow estuary
#

you just use pythagorean theorem? or u can also do it with basic logic and reasoning

#

i think i understand now, thx

scarlet locust
#

,w sqrt(3721)

shadow estuary
#

wait

#

let me try

scarlet locust
#

yeah i got it

#

just checking

brazen saddle
#

Lol

shadow estuary
#

11^2 + 60^2 = OR^2

#

,121 + 3600

#

,w 121 + 3600

shadow estuary
#

,w sqrt 3721

shadow estuary
#

Wow!

#

it worked

brazen saddle
#

Yeah no shit wow

shadow estuary
#

u a genius

#

#

hello

can someone help mw with my question plz

#

An exponential function with a base of 3 has been stretched vertically by a factor of 2.5 an then reflected in the y-axis. it's asymptote is the line y=-1. it's y-intercept is (0,1.5) you can use this as a "check". write an equation of the function and it's domain and range.

untold trout

is this series convergent?

obtuse pebbleBOT
untold trout
#

any idea on how one might approach it?

#

Well, at least I know it's conditionally convergent if there's a (-1)^n term before it,

#

but this approach won't work if it's not alternating

#

I tried the ratio test but it looks ugly

#

the root test returns 1 too

ah nvm i solved it

timid silo
#

hi

obtuse pebbleBOT
timid silo
#

can someone help me understand the limit of

#

V(0) is 0 btw

#

I don't understand where the 2alpha^2/3 comes ffrom

#

what I did was, cotax=cosax/sinax, then for x small sin ax=ax

#

and so 2/x^2-2/x^2 =0

#

and we're only left with the alpha squared

#

but apparently this is not the case

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@timid silo Has your question been resolved?

timid silo
#

<@&286206848099549185> anyone available? should be quick enough

#

oops

#

we can separate this limit into several component using the additive property of limits, so let's ignore V(x) as x --> 0 since you've stated this is just 0

#

also we can neglect h^2/2m for now because it's a constant

#

so we have

#

$\lim_{x \to 0} \alpha^2 + \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2\alpha \cot(\alpha x)}{x} - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{2}{x^2}$, do you agree?

warm shaleBOT
#

Renegade

timid silo
#

now taking the limit of a constant is absurd, so we are simplify left with $\alpha^2$ for the first limit

warm shaleBOT
#

Renegade

timid silo
#

then I'd suggest you rewrite cot(ax) as cos(ax)/sin(ax) and attempt L'hopital's rule

#

hmmm alright, but can l'hopitals rule be used for limits that are not 0/0?

#

yes, for inf/inf

#

actually here I believe cot(ax)/x diverges

#

but here we don't have inf/inf

#

we have 1/xsinax

#

which is like 0^2

#

on the denominator

#

$\frac{2}{x^2}$ goes to $+\infty$

#

yeah

#

Agreed

warm shaleBOT
#

Renegade

timid silo
#

but cot(ax) doesn't exist

#

but it's cot(ax)/x

#

which is cos(ax)/xsin(x)

#

it doesn't diverge

#

bc the denominator acts as an even function

#

since both x and sinax change signs for negative x

#

by diverge I mean DNE

#

DNE?

#

have you learned taylor series?

#

yup

#

yeah so cos(x) taylor series is 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! and sin(x) is something like x - x^3/3! + x^5/5!

#

okay

#

so as the terms go to 0 the denominator is 0

#

yeah

#

dne means don't exist

#

it goes to infinity

#

you don't need the taylor expansion to see that no?

#

could the limits cancel each other out

#

arithmetic with infinity is pointless, so no

#

well it clearly has a solution

#

as written above

#

since this is the answer sheet to an exam, corrected by uni professors

#

<@&286206848099549185> sorry to ping again, anyone?

finite vector
warm shaleBOT
#

newbienoob

finite vector
#

ok so first can u simplify the expression a bit by calling alpha.x as k?

timid silo
#

alright?

finite vector
#

You should end up at this: $\lim_{k\to 0}-2\alpha^2\left[ \frac{1-k\cot(k)}{k^2} \right]$

warm shaleBOT
#

newbienoob

finite vector
#

now multiply and divide by sin(k)

#

and the sin(k) in the denominator tends to k itself as k->0

#

then apply l'hopital's rule

#

@timid silo

timid silo
#

it's basically the same problem we had above..

finite vector
#

did u split it up?

#

do it without splitting and apply l'hopital's rule

#

u end up at 1/3

#

for the term in the brackets

solid cove
#

getting the slope is easy but how to get the y value ?

solid cove
#

and why is it zero

slim leaf
#

@solid cove After the slope, you need the point where the tangent meets the curve. And this point has x-coordinate sqrt(3).

#

So for the y-coordinate, you plug in x=sqrt(3) in y.

#

And you get y = int from sqrt(3) to sqrt(3) .....

#

which is just y = 0

oh right

Well the standard way to fit data points to an equation is to use linear regression

#

In which we try to fit points to a straight line

#

Here we want to fit to an exponential, but that's kind of hard to do directly. Luckily, if we take the log of the equation, the exponential gets turned into a linear equation, which is easier to fit to

#

So like p(t) = p0*e^(kt) becomes log(p(t)) = log(p0) + kt

#

Which looks a lot like y=mx+c

#

Taking the log all so changes the data points nothing happens to x, but the y values get logged

#

So keep that in mind

#

Anyways, now we have some data points to fit to a line. We need to find the optimal m and c for the formula y=mx+c

#

There are straightforward formulas to find this, do you have to derive those as well? I'm not sure

toxic harbor
#

So I'm going through this pre-calc book and there are some formula that I just don't like understand intuitively. Like I can follow the steps and I know which numbers go where for each variable in the formulas, but I don't understand how they are derived.

toxic harbor
#

Is this okay or am I expected to understand the derivations?

grizzled shore
#

What formulas

toxic harbor
#

Like this for example

grizzled shore
toxic harbor
#

I don't understand why k is being multplied by t

toxic harbor
grizzled shore
#

Because every time period

#

All the money get interest

toxic harbor
#

yeah but that's what t is

grizzled shore
#

Well

#

Think of kt as how many times it’s compounding

#

If I ask in 5 years

#

And it compounds every 4 months

#

That’s 3 times a year and so it compounds 15 times

toxic harbor
#

oh I see

#

why is k being devided by r

#

oh because you want to find the compounded rate not the annual rate

#

What about here

#

a(1 + r)^x why is there a one there

#

I don't get it

#

Should you just do starting point * r?

#

and then raise r to the power of x so that you get exponential growth based on the x-value given

#

Like I just don't get what 1 is there for

grizzled shore
#

1 is so your number is like 1.3 or something

#

The r value is in percent

#

As in if u have a 10% growth

#

r would be 0.1

toxic harbor
#

yeah so why add 1 to it?

#

if it's 10%

grizzled shore
#

0.1ⁿ gets smaller as n gets bigger

toxic harbor
#

Right interesting

grizzled shore
#

Because you want your value to go from 100% to 110%

#

Not from 100% to 10%

toxic harbor
#

Oh since it'

#

s increasing

grizzled shore
#

Yea

toxic harbor
#

Okay I kinda understand that

#

If we want to have decaying functions

#

Would we just remove the 1

#

or subtract 1

grizzled shore
#

We subtract from 1

toxic harbor
#

How come?

grizzled shore
#

10% decrease is 1-0.1 = going from 100% to 90%

toxic harbor
#

hm

grizzled shore
#

When u decrease it again (increasing kt by 1) you once again multiply by 1-0.9

#

So your 90% becomes 81%

#

Again and your 81% turns into 72.9%

toxic harbor
#

why not 80 then 70

#

oh 20% of 90%

grizzled shore
#

Because you’re depleting 10% of the current value

#

Not 10% of the original value

toxic harbor
#

right right

grizzled shore
#

If a car depreciates 5% every year

#

Is the car worth $0 in 20 years?

toxic harbor
#

But like is understanding all of this like crucial or can I just know how to use the formulas without understanding why they are like that?

grizzled shore
#

No the parts are still worth a bit of money

toxic harbor
#

Makes sense

grizzled shore
toxic harbor
#

Hm I see

#

Idk what to do

#

I'm just like not understanding some thing

#

s

#

And I have no teacher to like explain

grizzled shore
#

It’s the difference between being able to explain it to someone and just saying plug the numbers in

grizzled shore
toxic harbor
#

Yeah'

#

idk

#

Okay thank you again

#

appreciate the help

Hi I'm looking to create a program for boids (flock minded bots)

I am trying to make a push formula. a formula that if the boid is closer to me push it harder and if it further softer.
I tried to come up with something for quite a while now and have nothing.

any help would be appreciated.

grizzled shore
#

so you're looking for a function of "push strength" in terms of distance

#

something like 1/distance would give u something that pushes strong when it's close and softly when it's further away

scenic reef
#

yeah thats what i just came up with. i will see if i can implement it properly. also why would it be divided by 1?

#

sorry im kinda bad with math

#

oh nvm i get it now.

use desmos and visualise the curve

Hi, I have a problem that asks me to find the percentage of uncertainty of sin 𝞱 when 𝞱 = 15.0° ± 0.5°.
The answer they give is 3.25%, and they take ((sin 15.5 - sin 15) / sin 15) * 100%. But I think it should be ((sin 15.5 - sin 14.5) / sin 15) * 100%, since the uncertainty is ± 0.5°.
So my answer is 6.5%.
Any idea why they use sin 15.5 and sin 15, instead of sin 15.5 and sin 14.5?
Thank you.

scarlet locust
#

the uncertainty is measured from 15°, its supposed to tell how how much the answer can deviate from sin(15°), not how different are the 2 extremes values of the answer

lament oyster
#

Oh, so why they take 15.5 instead of 14.5?

scarlet locust
#

the difference from 15 is the same that is

lament oyster
#

You mean I could do (sin 14.5 - sin 15) / sin 15 * 100%?

scarlet locust
#

yes you could

#

you'll just get a negative answer

#

take the abs of that

lament oyster
#

OH, now I got it.

#

Thank you very much. Like I've been on this problem for days, thank you once again!

# supple cobalt How would I find the ratio of DC to AB?

This seems like it's impossible to solve at first! But it's a really nice question from a mathematical Olympiad qualifying test in America. Thanks to Anay for the suggestion!

Yeah, but my teacher won't allow me to use that video

tranquil arch
#

do you know the method in the video?

supple cobalt
#

No

#

I have not seen the video yet

tranquil arch
#

do you have some ideas?

supple cobalt
#

My main idea is to draw a straight line starting at p and extending in both directions, therefore that could maybe make the triangles more manageable.

tranquil arch
#

you mean ⊥CD?

supple cobalt
#

Something like this.

#

But I don't really know where to go from there.

tranquil arch
#

yes, set two heights as h1 and h2

supple cobalt
#

mhm

tranquil arch
#

then you can express area of PCD, PAB, ABCD

#

actually this is the method in the video

supple cobalt
#

Ah, I see

#

ok

Thank you!

Complete set of ‘x’ satisfying: |x + 2| > 6. I got ans A but its wrong.

scarlet locust
#

why would it be only positive values?

#

-10 + 2 is -8 and |-8| > 6

pallid goblet
#

wait the ans i got is not in option*

#

not A

scarlet locust
#

yeah it seems like the options are wrong

pallid goblet
#

(-∞,-8) U (4,∞)

pallid goblet

Answer C is correct, if you just turn the final 8 on its side to get $(4, \infty)$

is it for real?

#

So options are wrong

scarlet locust
#

yes

pallid goblet
#

thx

#

i got one last question can i ask?

tulip haven
#

sure

pallid goblet
#

I dont understand the question does it mean (x² – 3)(x + 1)<0

tulip haven
#

exactly

#

it means values of x for which that equation is always negative, you will again use the same method, by the way is that physicswallah dpp or smth?

tulip haven
#

jee 22 or 23?

#

or 24 💀 ?

hmm, Ic, all the best you two , gotta go and study

pallid goblet
#

btw ans?

pallid goblet
tulip haven
#

ah, +-root 3 and -1 are roots so use that curve method and then see the negative region

#
  • root 3, - root 3, -1, let me try once
pallid goblet
#

ohk

pallid goblet
tulip haven
#

x^2-3= (x- root3)(x+root3)

pallid goblet
#

what how?

#

i mean

#

wait

tulip haven
#

x^2-(root3)^2

#

plus options are wrong

pallid goblet
#

oh

#

bro i thought

tulip haven
#

answer should have been (-infinity, -root3) union (-1, root 3)

pallid goblet
#

x²-3 = 0
x² = 3
x = √3

tulip haven
#

when u remove square it becomes +- root 3

pallid goblet
#

oh

tulip haven
#

that is class 9 or 10 basic, maybe study those once

pallid goblet
#

my basics aren't strong

tulip haven
#

just see some videos of fundamental of maths class 11

pallid goblet
#

Oh ohk

#

can i dm u?

not accepting dms 😓

sour wagon

Calculate the distance from a point to a segment (Point is P, segment is AB). The following is given P(3,4) A(1,0) B(12,0)

sour wagon
#

I used the following equation x-xA/xB-xA = y-yA/yB-yA but I must do something wrong

timid silo
#

hmmm

#

ig u meant

#

shortest distance

#

also AB is the segment? and P is the point?

sour wagon
#

ah sorry yeah the distance from point P to AB

timid silo
#

ok so

#

first get the slope of the line segment

#

passing through A , B

sour wagon
#

ok, but there is not like only one equation to do it, I think it might be the way I translate the problem

#

I don't remember having to do any slopes for it

timid silo
#

actually nvm there is a problem with the general method coz its a line segment

sour wagon
timid silo
sour wagon
#

yeah honestly idk but I think I am getting to the bottom of it

#

I will try to do it with another formula and see if it's good and post the answer here to verify

sour wagon
#

I should be able to have aX-bY+c=0

#

but what happens is ,w (x-1/12-1)=(y-0)/0-0

A ship sails a distance of 120 km on a bearing of 44. How far north or south will it be from its starting point? how do i figure it out

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@tall vessel Has your question been resolved?

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@tall vessel Has your question been resolved?

sick pelican
#

if im not mistaken should be smth like this, just use cos for this one

#

if you tryna find how far north or south

tall vessel
#

yes, its on a 44 degree angle so N44E i am using triganomtry and calculus to figure out the answer

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

oh ok thanks

distant schooner
#

Do you know how to start the question?

tall vessel
#

eh trying to do it now

sick pelican
#

draw a triangle

tall vessel
#

ye

sick pelican
#

and write the angles and length of the side

tall vessel
#

with pythaguras theorum

sick pelican
#

huh

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

sin cos tan lol

tall vessel
#

oh i dont

distant schooner
#

have you learnt trig functions

sick pelican
#

you only have 1 side, how u use pyth thm

tall vessel
distant schooner
sick pelican
#

you need to learn sin cos tan first :d

tall vessel
#

im in yr 7 so i havnt learnt this this is yr 12 work

distant schooner
#

this is yr 7 lmao

#

not yr 12

#

well depends on where you are

tall vessel
#

australia

sick pelican
#

think thats yr 8 ish for me but ye similar enough

distant schooner
#

welp same

tall vessel
#

the corriculems are different'

distant schooner
#

no its all the same

sick pelican
#

whatever

tall vessel
#

no in australia pythaguras is yr 9 and someone said they learnt it in yt 4

distant schooner
#

Don't try to skip too much, this is gonna be too hard

sick pelican
# distant schooner

anyways just try to understand how sin cos tan works (btw the angle theta can be either the angle, and the opposite and adjacent side will switch)

distant schooner
distant schooner
#

ok wait lemme give u a question

sick pelican
#

thats just impossible lmao

distant schooner
#

name the side names

#

like

#

hypotenuse adjacent

sick pelican
#

but sure can be used as example LUL

tall vessel
#

my question isnt a right angle

distant schooner
#

yeah but u needa understand this

#

to be able to do what ur doing right now

tall vessel
#

theres hypotonuse, opposite and adjacent

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

yeah which one tho

distant schooner
#

is 1 adjacent?

tall vessel
#

idk

#

wait

#

i think 1 is opposite

distant schooner
#

nope

tall vessel
#

is 1 adjacent

distant schooner
#

memorise this

#

hypotenuse is the longest side

tall vessel
#

ok

distant schooner
#

opposite is the opposite to the angle

#

and adjacent is just pretty much left over

tall vessel
#

ok

sick pelican
#

the angle isnt always at the lowest one tho, it can appear at the other position

distant schooner
#

ok so basicaly

#

going back to your question

#

you said it doesn't have a right angle but it does

#

if it doesnt, you can't solve your question

tall vessel
#

ye

distant schooner
#

ok so you're trying to find distance for north

tall vessel
#

ye

distant schooner
#

so which way is north

#

x or y

tall vessel
#

x is going up north

distant schooner
#

yep so it's x right?

#

so is x hypotenuse, adjacent or opposite

tall vessel
#

x is adjacent cuz opposite to anggle

distant schooner
#

yes good

#

so what trig function are you going to use to find x?

#

sin, cos or tan

#

wait do you know how trig functions work and how to use them

tall vessel
#

i am not sure

distant schooner
#

ok they are commonly used to find angles

#

so wait

#

so now you know all the angles

#

i mean all the sides

tall vessel
#

ok

distant schooner
#

you have 120 as hypotenuse, and the x you want to find as adjacent

#

so what function do you want to use?

tall vessel
#

coz?

#

cos

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

ok and then what?

tall vessel
#

so if adjacent is cos

#

im not sure...

distant schooner
#

ok so

#

it says

#

C = A/H

#

yes?

tall vessel
#

yes

sick pelican
#

you sin/cos/tan the angle and that shit is equal to the ratio of 2 sides (depends on what it is)

distant schooner
#

also that symbol with a line going across 0 is theta

#

its commonly used as unknown angle

tall vessel
#

so how do i use that to the question

distant schooner
#

so if you plug that in, it should be cos(44) = x/120

#

you're just putting the information you have into the functions

#

do you get that bit?

tall vessel
#

i get half

distant schooner
#

whats the other half you don't get

tall vessel
#

the theta thing

sick pelican
#

θ is the angle

tall vessel
#

ok

#

ohhh

sick pelican
#

you sin cos tan an angle to get a ratio

tall vessel
#

so 0 is the theta

sick pelican
#

well yes that symbol θ = theta

tall vessel
#

what would the ratio be?

distant schooner
#

ratio?

sick pelican
#

u use the angle

sick pelican
#

trigonometry ratio

#

or function if you want to call it like that

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

ok

sick pelican
#

so basically lets say an angle is 20

#

sin(20) is a value

tall vessel
#

ye

sick pelican
#

and the opposite/hypotenuse is always = sin 20

#

when the angle is 20

tall vessel
#

ye

sick pelican
#

and now you have 44

#

you know what is adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse

#

use the corresponding trigonometry ratio

tall vessel
#

yes

sick pelican
#

if you know cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse

#

you know what is θ and hypotenuse

tall vessel
#

0 is theta?

sick pelican
#

eh its the symbol

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

not "0" necessarily but sure you can let the symbol look like that for now

tall vessel
#

alr

sick pelican
#

and have some values in it instead of all unknowns

tall vessel
#

ok

#

soooo

#

what we have so far is

#

x = ad

#

y = op

stark tiger
#

hi everyone i am new and i have doubt
can anyone please solve it ?

tall vessel
#

wrong chat sorry\

stark tiger
#

why ?

#

it says maths help

tall vessel
#

this chat is about helping me do triganomotry

stark tiger
#

oh ok

#

sorry

sick pelican
#

ye open a new one

stark tiger
#

ok

sick pelican
tall vessel
#

i am a little confused about 1 thing you said @sick pelican

tall vessel
sick pelican
#

sin cos tan yes

#

they all have different ratios

#

like sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse, cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse

#

they arent the same thing

tall vessel
#

ok

sick pelican
#

since you are finding adjacent and u have hypotenuse, you are using cos

tall vessel
#

isnt adjacent x

sick pelican
#

yes you are trying to find x

#

you are trying to find how north

sick pelican
tall vessel
#

how north what

#

how far out in north

sick pelican
#

too lazy to type all that crap out LUL

tall vessel
#

ok

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

if you are finding how far out is north ofc you be finding x

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

dw dw

tall vessel
#

so using this info how do i find how far out

distant schooner
#

ok so you've determined its cos

#

right?

tall vessel
#

yes

#

because cos is ad/hy

distant schooner
#

just substitute everything over from that information to cos(theta) = a/h

tall vessel
#

what would that look like

#

so if a/h = cos

distant schooner
#

a = x, h = 120, cos(theta) = cos(44)

#

do you get that?

tall vessel
#

where is h

#

is h the h

#

oh

#

hypotonuse

#

ye i get that

#

so what do i do now

distant schooner
#

ok so it looks like this

#

yes?

tall vessel
#

yes

distant schooner
#

ok so we need to isolate (x), so bring 120 to the left side

#

that makes

tall vessel
#

ye

distant schooner
#

then just put that in your calclator

tall vessel
#

ok

#

do i put it ina trig calc

distant schooner
#

yeah?

#

make sure its in degree mode

tall vessel
#

would a normal one work

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

if you have a calculator with sin cos tan yes

tall vessel
distant schooner
#

just use online

sick pelican
#

ye

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

is this automatically in degree mode

distant schooner
#

yes

tall vessel
#

ok so 86

#

.32

#

thank you so much

#

im just gona ss this chat so i can keep it

distant schooner
#

@sick pelican r u good with factoring

sick pelican
#

yes

distant schooner
#

yea i need some help

sick pelican
#

unless its some extreme shit that i never saw LUL

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

ah great

tall vessel
#

is there a way to save h=this chat for future reference

sick pelican
#

who the fuck factorizes shit in surds

distant schooner
distant schooner
tall vessel
distant schooner
#

i tried to do completing the square, doesn't quite work to get me those answers

sick pelican
#

imma just use the quadratic formula to calculate what's x

distant schooner
#

dude

#

they ban us from using

#

quadratic formula

#

LMAo

sick pelican
#

ok

distant schooner
#

so idk how tf else to do this

sick pelican
#

tbh you can just be patient and break down all these shit

distant schooner
#

please be my guest

#

not sure how to start this off

sick pelican
#

this shit gonna take a bit of time

distant schooner
#

so.. how do you start it off

sick pelican
#

think it's D

#

imma check rq

tall vessel
#

i wana say thank you for helping me

distant schooner
#

but how.

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

can you guys addd me if you want

distant schooner
#

sry dont add randos

tall vessel
#

ok alg

sick pelican
#

yep im right

#

so i simply broke down every brackets for what is x if that bracket is 0

tall vessel
#

is it alg if icome to you in the future for questions like this

sick pelican
#

for instance, (x+3-√7)

distant schooner
#

yes

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

x would be -3+√7

distant schooner
#

yep

sick pelican
#

and i used sum of root

#

sum of root = -(-6/1) = 6

#

so i pretty much broke down 10 brackets

#

but some of them are the same so i think just 4 combination

#

then i add their root to see if they match

#

i think its from A to E for the sequence

#

if the 2 stuff add up = 6, thats the answer

#

and the 4th combination = 6

#

which is 3+√7 and 3-√7

distant schooner
#

hol up lemme try to get this

sick pelican
#

basically u see 2 brackets on each option, i find the value of x in each of them when the bracket = 0

#

and use the sum of root method to find which one suits the requirement

distant schooner
#

ok so the sum of root is 6, how does the other stuff meet that

sick pelican
#

nothing else meets it

#

only 1 option does

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

e.g. you add -3+√7 and -3-√7 you get -6

tall vessel
#

ik your talking about something else but i have one last question, to figure out if its sin cos or tan is it if the either h, a or o is outside the theta like if the theta is in the middle of a and h its cos?

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

oh shit is ee

#

i see

distant schooner
#

but about this part

sick pelican
#

yes

distant schooner
#

how did you branch them

#

i get that you're trying to get them to = 0

sick pelican
#

oh i simply broke down the x's

#

and write the combinations

#

such as A is -3+√7 and -3-√7

#

B is -3+√7 and 3-√7 and so on

#

till E

#

the -> just shows where it links to

tall vessel
sick pelican
#

depends on what the question is asking and what info you need

distant schooner
#

im still not quite understanding, maybe ill ask my teacher

#

i do have another q. about algebra(my knowledge to know when to use it is trash)

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

how do i figure the thing out without using a scientific calc?

distant schooner
sick pelican
tall vessel
#

alright thank you

distant schooner
tall vessel
#

whats this now?

sick pelican
#

so you know √ = ^1/2?

distant schooner
#

uh no

sick pelican
#

well now you know LUL

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

without the -. - was a typo LUL

distant schooner
#

yeah i know that

#

law

sick pelican
#

let the giant shit inside be a

distant schooner
#

giant shit?

sick pelican
#

$\sqrt(a^{-2})$

#

the big thing inside

#

not going to type that shit out

#

so i just let it as a

distant schooner
#

so

#

that becomes

sick pelican
#

💀 bruh

distant schooner
warm shaleBOT
#

𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮

sick pelican
#

then square root becomes 1/2

distant schooner
#

lmao

#

what does it look like after

sick pelican
#

then you multiply -2 and 1/2

#

and it becomes a^-1

distant schooner
#

yeah i remember that

#

but then i also dont remember like half of it

sick pelican
#

and a^-1 = 1/a

#

so basically you make the fraction upside down

distant schooner
#

yes i get that

sick pelican
#

and a = the big thing you have inside

#

which is 2x^-4/y^-8

distant schooner
#

oh

#

yeah?

sick pelican
#

then you swap stuffs

distant schooner
#

so

#

2y^8/x^4

sick pelican
#

and swap it again

#

because ^-1

distant schooner
#

x^4/2y^8

sick pelican
#

si

distant schooner
#

oh shittt

#

thanks man

sick pelican

distant schooner
#

oh yeah another thing

#

how did he make 8/4 into 6/3

sick pelican
#

8/4 = 2
6/3 = 2

#

the values didnt change, he just changed the numbers

#

same ratio

distant schooner
#

oh u can do that?

sick pelican
#

yes, since the power didnt change

#

i suppose he used it to common the denominator with 5/3

#

for easier calculation

distant schooner
#

mm

#

cause i just multiplied 3 and 4 to both sides but welp okay

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

alr last one peepoEhehe

sick pelican
#

y = mx+c

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

yes

distant schooner
#

is what ive written

sick pelican
#

that

distant schooner
#

but that isnt on any of the..

#

answer

sick pelican
#

switch subjects LUL

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

try to switch the subjects to y for every option to see which matches or whatever method that can allow u to get the same thing

distant schooner
#

still isnt any of the answers

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

oh is that how it works

#

wait so do i just make the 4 at the back 20?

sick pelican
#

theres another method, since y-intercept = 4, that means (0,4) lies on the linear graph

#

hence you can sub x = 0 and see if y = 4 in that equation

sick pelican
distant schooner
#

oh

#

to both sides?

#

ok well anothe thing learnt

sick pelican
#

wdym

#

you went from y = -3x/5 + 4

distant schooner
sick pelican
#

into 5y = -3x + 4

#

so you literally multiplied 5

#

but you didnt multiply 5 to 4

Heyy! Can anyone please help me in a question??
It says:
Find the complex number “z=1+i” that fulfills the condition Z •(2+i)=1

obsidian isle
#

that makes no sense

#

you are already given the value of z

#

what is there to solve for

timid silo
#

IDKJJ

#

Waitrt

#

Ill send you the pic

#

Its in albanian

#

Its the 4th one

#

What do these mean? Lmao

#

So is the correct answer B. Z=1+i

frosty river
#

(1+i)(2+i)=2+i+2i+i²=1+3i≠1

#

$\frac{1}{2+i}=\frac{2-i}{4-i²}=\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{5}i$

jnkena

obsidian isle
#

it makes no sense because it's not a true statement

frosty river
#

I think the question is wrong haha

timid silo
#

Anyways ill just leave this and head on to something else
