#

I’m trying to get the bisector of the purple line and the X axis

lusty cedar
#

hmm

#

what is the problem then?

sinful mortar
#

It doesn’t seem to be working with the usual equation

lusty cedar
#

usual equation?

sinful mortar
#

((ax+by+c)/-sqrroot(a2+b2))-((ax+by+c)/-sqrroot(a2+b2)) =0

lusty cedar
#

umm

#

it is actually + and -

#

both are bisectors

#

one is of acute angle and other is of obtuse

sinful mortar
#

yeah

#

but idk how to fit the y=0 line to that equation

lusty cedar
#

umm

#

a=0, b=1 and c=0

#

where

#

sorry lol

#

my bad

#

now?

sinful mortar
#

no worries

lusty cedar
#

do you have any issues now?

sinful mortar
#

yeah, because that’s what I thought

lusty cedar
#

hmm

sinful mortar
#

but it doesn’t seem to be right

lusty cedar
#

like

#

what did you get?

sinful mortar
#

(between the two purple ones)

lusty cedar
#

not -1, -y

#

i believe

sinful mortar
#

i’ll try that

lusty cedar
#

alr

sinful mortar
#

feeling like such a dum dum rn

lusty cedar
#

dw its fine

#

everybody does that

#

anyways ig we're done

#

nice talking!

formal musk
#

i think i know the answer to this but i just nedded a confirm

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

Please don't occupy multiple help channels.

formal musk
#

mb

#

i j need a confirm

royal basin
#

just close the previous one

#

ok so you want to confirm your answer

#

so what is it?

formal musk
#

would this be no intersection

royal basin
#

no

formal musk
#

since the planes are far away

#

but how

#

it does not intersect on any line

royal basin
#

ok so let's first try this

formal musk
#

ok

royal basin
#

the planes LMN and JON intersect along a straight line

#

what is that straight line?

formal musk
#

line mn

royal basin
#

no

#
  1. please type point names in UPPERCASE as is customary in geometry.
formal musk
#

line MN

royal basin
#
  1. no, line MN is not the intersection of LMN and JON. point M does not lie in plane JON.
formal musk
#

then what

#

?

tranquil beacon
#

It might help to write out all the point on each plane identified and then see what points are in common for each plane

royal basin
#

i've highlighted plane LMN in red and JON in green

tranquil beacon
#

Since it's a rectangular prism there are going to be four points for each plane

royal basin
#

look at this again and tell me what their line of intersection is @formal musk

formal musk
#

line KN

royal basin
#

there we go

#

and now

#

line KN and plane LIJ intersect at a point.

#

what is that point?

#

refer to the diagram again.

formal musk
#

point K

royal basin
#

there we go

formal musk
#

ok thanks you

Heyo, anyone who knows a tad bit about Newton-Raphsons method.
I'm trying to utilize Newton-Raphson on a 2-variable function. So far all I've found on the internet is utilizing Newton-Raphson on a system of equations, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to perform Newton-Raphson on one 2-variable function (also trying to know how to do this for n-variables)

I was thinking I should just calculate partial derivatives for all, then just evaluate them to find what I'm looking for. But I don't think this is correct. Any suggestions?

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@zealous wagon Has your question been resolved?

frosty river
#

What do you seek with the method?

#

Solving f(x,y)=0?

zealous wagon
#

Pretty much, yes.

frosty river
#

Simply apply Newton-Raphson

#

A single equation is a system of equations with one equation

brave bramble
#

So the problem is that the method doesn't extend well to a multivariable equation. You aren't really guaranteed to be getting closer to a zero if the tangent line changes direction

zealous wagon
# frosty river Simply apply Newton-Raphson

I was thinking that instead of utilizing the function's derivative it would be a vector with all of the partial derivatives evaluated. So recursion would still happen and iterations can continue until f(x,y)=0

brave bramble
#

Instead consider something like gradient descent?

zealous wagon
zealous wagon
#

Okay that should be enough info for me to keep pushing with. Thank you so much for your help @frosty river @brave bramble!

Hi, anyone here who can help me with triangle similarity? And finding a the length of an missing interger in parallel lines?

honest steppe
#

I dont know if I can show an image, but only this question has stumped me in my online math

drowsy girder
#

You can send a picture

honest steppe
#

Alright I will

#

Its this one and one other

#

let me get a screenshot

#

its mostly this one though

drowsy girder
honest steppe
#

Okay

honest steppe
# honest steppe

And for this one? ive done done fraction form etc I just dont get what to do

drowsy girder
#

$$\frac{11}{x} = \frac{13}{4}$$

warm shaleBOT
#

Pluton

drowsy girder
#

This would be my guess

honest steppe
#

okay so just solve this?

drowsy girder
#

Yes

honest steppe
#

okay thanks so much!

drowsy girder
#

I dont know if its correct tho

#

Geometry isnt my best side

honest steppe
#

Ill see if it isnt ill probably be back

#

Help

obtuse pebbleBOT
warm pivot
#

Confused on how to approach the question

#

Actually I’ll try this again

timid silo
obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@warm pivot Has your question been resolved?

warm pivot
# timid silo

Would the line connecting to the chain middle coming down to the middle count as the radius or the diameter

timid silo
#

the green part is the radius

warm pivot
timid silo
#

right angle triangle

warm pivot
timid silo
#

yes

warm pivot
#

Would Pythagorean theorem work here?

timid silo
#

yup

warm pivot
#

Isn’t the bottom of the traingle missing?

#

The right traingle specifically

#

Am I supposed to calculate both the bottom and the side

#

@timid silo

timid silo
#

we know the two red sides from the question. then we can find the green side using pythagoras. then subtract a radius to get the small part

#

the right angle is there because of tangency

warm pivot
#

Radius is 15

#

The chain spilt in half would be 9m long? Or still 18

timid silo
#

9 is correct

warm pivot
#

Perfect

#

So calculate c^2

#

Then subtract radius

timid silo
#

yup

warm pivot
#

Would both red lines be 9m

#

Cm*

timid silo
#

no

warm pivot
#

Or would one of them count as an radius

timid silo
#

the chain is 9, the other is radius=15

warm pivot
#

2.5cm would be the answer

#

You are one smart person

#

Do you also know about surface area?

#

and converting volume to something I can work with

timid silo
#

I do know what surface area is

#

perhaps

long sinew
#

Where is the nail? Am i blind

#

Oh this was already answered

timid silo
#

at the top

warm pivot
#

This question I do not even know where to start

long sinew
#

I would find one of the cubes surface area

#

And then multiply by 6

#

Unless theres a faster way

warm pivot
#

They gave me the whole volume of the object

long sinew
#

Ah

warm pivot
#

Which is 56cm

long sinew
#

Yes

warm pivot
#

And they want the surface area

long sinew
#

And there are 7 identica cubes

warm pivot
#

So converting volume to surface area I suppose

long sinew
#

You could say that sure

#

Find volume of one of the cubes first

#

That should be simple? Knowing they are identical

timid silo
#

it would be funny if there wasn't a cube in the middle and the question was a troll

long sinew
#

Lol true

warm pivot
#

I kinda forgot how volume works.

#

We ain’t even learn about this in class

#

And we have it on the final exam. (Dw I am working with a practice exam)

long sinew
#

Area of base mutliplied by the height

#

Cubes have same side lengths

warm pivot
#

Like the thing you do for triangles

#

Yeah

#

True

long sinew
#

Ok

#

First find volume of one cube

#

(Theres a cube in the middle btw)

warm pivot
#

Oh okay

long sinew
#

So there are 7 cubes :)

warm pivot
#

I think 1.333 repeating

long sinew
#

For the volume?

#

Of one?

warm pivot
#

For each side?

#

Oh

#

One cube

long sinew
#

Yes one cube

warm pivot
#

7.99999998

#

Cm^3

long sinew
#

Uh

#

What

#

7.99999999?

warm pivot
#

Or just 8

long sinew
#

Is your calculator on drugs

#

Alright

#

Now what is the side length of the cube?

#

Knowing its volume is 8cm^2

warm pivot
#

Idk. I know the length of one face

long sinew
#

Side length...

warm pivot
#

Would side length be the same as the base

long sinew
#

Volume of a cube = side * side * side

#

In other words

#

Side^3

#

Or if you think of it as area base * height its side^2 * side

warm pivot
#

Would using area x base work

long sinew
#

Sure go ahead

#

Area(base) * height

warm pivot
#

4 x 2

long sinew
#

Yes

#

So what is the side length? 2

#

Now you can find surface area

warm pivot
#

Side length is 2

long sinew
#

Using area(face) * 5 since there are 5 surfaces on this cube (one of them is hidden)

#

So the area of one face is...?

warm pivot
#

There is 6 faces on a cube

long sinew
#

I just explained...

warm pivot
#

Oh sorry

#

My bad

long sinew
#

So go ahead

warm pivot
#

2 x 5?

#

10

long sinew
#

Area of face

#
  • 5
#

So the area of a square pretty much

warm pivot
#

Hmm

#

Thinking

#

We calculate the base of a cube and side length correct?

#

How do I convert from cube to face

long sinew
#

If you know side length of a square how would one find its area?

warm pivot
#

Times it by base

long sinew
#

Which is 2

warm pivot
#

Ok so 10

#

That is the area of one face? Or the cube

#

What would I do next

#

@long sinew

#

So area of each cube is 10

#

Times it by 6 since basically a whole cube is missing

#

Or we could include and subtract it as overlap

#

Would overlap be 30?

#

60-30

#

30cm^2 I think

timid junco
#

find the area of one of the faces and multiply it by how many faces there are

hmm so you can call the heights 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (1 is shortest, 5 tallest) and count the number of permutations that have a 123, 234, or 345 in them

cursive scroll
#

the only cases that you have to avoid are: 1,2,3 | 2,3,4 | 345

zenith raft
#

haha

quaint glen
#

What about 135 for instance?

zenith raft
#

oh I read it as consecutive heights but that probably wasn't the right way

solar elm
#

yeh this is a hard one for me haha

#

it is consecutive heights i think

#

so like 2 3 1 4 5 is fine

solar elm
quaint glen
#

If my interpretation is correct, no because it contains 145

zenith raft
solar elm
#

im thinking we need to avoid these
123 124 125 134 135 145 234 235 245 345

#

thats 10

zenith raft
#

I guess that would work, just be careful about double counting

solar elm
#

ok someone just posted the start of the answer

#

surely this question is worded weird

#

if it only wants 123 234 or 345

zenith raft
#

oh haha

solar elm
#

the f?

zenith raft
#

well that makes it easier

solar elm
#

im not reading this wrong right

zenith raft
#

is that the officially provided solution?

solar elm
#

yes

zenith raft
#

then yea... sounds like it was about consecutive heights

solar elm
#

yeh

zenith raft
#

do you need any help still?

solar elm
#

ye

#

right now im look at this

#

id be looking at slots for each
1 2 3 x x
x 1 2 3 x
x x 1 2 3
=3 * (2^2)

Then 3 diff ways it can happen so 123, 234 and 345
so its *3
therefor
120 - 36 = 84 ways?

zenith raft
#

almostttt

#

but two problems there I think

#

there are only 2 ways you can place the last two letters after you fix 1, 2, and 3

#

not 2^2

#

and the other thing is you are double counting like this

#

you are counting 12345 in your example, but you'll count it again when you count permutations that have a 345 in them

solar elm
#

oh right

#

why is it not 2^2

#

I actaully see your logic

#

10 or 01

#

only two ways

zenith raft
#

yea, not 11, 00, 10, and 01

solar elm
#

but normally I do number of unknowns ^ number of things that can go there

zenith raft
#

or 4s and 5s, whatever

solar elm
#

oh right

#

so its 5! - ((2+2+2) * 3) -1

#

120 - 18 - 1 = 101

#

actually 12345 is counted 3 times so i needs -2

#

so 100?

zenith raft
#

uhh can you show a little work, I didn't do it out lol

solar elm
#

C(5,5) = 120

#

so 120 total ways to arrange 5 things if order matters

zenith raft
#

just showing the double/triple counting is fine, the rest I'm good with

solar elm
#

then we have
N N N x x
x N N N x
x x N N N

and also 123 234 345

So for 123 we have 2 + 2 + 2 different ways

#

so 6 * 3 = 18

#

so 102 ways now

#

now for double counting

#

12345 is counted in this 3 times, so we need to -2

#

100 ways

#

thats all i got so far

cursive scroll
#

say NNN is the case you're trying to avoid, and AB is the other two numbers

#

there is NNN AB and NNNBA

solar elm
#

yep

cursive scroll
#

ANNNB and BNNNA as well

solar elm
#

yep thats what ive done here
N N N x x
x N N N x
x x N N N

#

NNN A B and NNN B A 2 ways for each

#

this is actually the answer

#

but not sure how to fully do that

zenith raft
#

if you are unsure, you could write out all 18 permutations and see how many unique ones there are

solar elm
#

ok I got 14 different ways

#

23451 is a dupe its in there twice. so its 51234 twice. then 12345 three times

#

wait so the answer is 14?

zenith raft
#

maybe (but I didn't do it out)

careful

#

it might do you some good to actually list out what the elements of X are

#

the backslash does denote set difference.

#

also, no, 20 ∉ X.

#

uppercase A.

#

Let X = {n ∈ N : 10 ≤ n < 20}

#

...

#

i didn't even ask you HOW MANY elements were in X

#

i asked you to write out WHAT THEY ARE

#

reading comprehension

#

right, so you need to make a set A of ten elements such that X \ A = {10, 12, 14}

#

for each number from 10 through 19 inclusive, ask yourself: does this number belong to A?

#

...

#

so many things wrong with what you just wrote

#

mostly style and wording things.

#

you could've said "the numbers 11, 13, and 15 through 19 must belong to A, while the numbers 10, 12 and 14 must NOT belong to A"

#

commas between the numbers.

#

but other than this, yes.

#

you know what P(X) is, right?

#

reading comprehension

#

math is case-sensitive

#

please do not mix lowercase x with uppercase X

#

it is annoying to have to correct that for the n'th time in a row

#

but yes {{}, {10}, {11}, {12},{13}} works for part c

#

no

#

ordered pairs, not two-element sets like you wrote

#

ok sure yes

#

you could try to prove that the only set satisfying the criterion in part (e) is X itself but doing so takes more work than is required of you

#

uh

#

are you FORCED to denote events relevant to the problem with specifically the letters A and B and nothing else?

#

so you tend to DELIBERATELY AVOID names that speak for themselves, huh?

#

that's bad programming style.

#

i would have named the set of all red cards R and the set of all face cards F.

#

think again

#

cards which are either red OR a face card.

#

what set operation corresponds to "or"?

#

.....................

#

many things wrong with what you just said.

#

first off there isn't really such a thing as addition of sets.

#

(except sometimes there is, but NOT in this context.)

#

second

#

"or" corresponds to UNION and you should've recognized that

#

the set of all cards that are red or faces is $R \cup F$.

warm shaleBOT
royal basin
#

you need to explain why $|R \cup F| = 32$.

warm shaleBOT
royal basin
#

WHY MAKE THIS SO OVER THE TOP COMPLICATED

#

IT'S JUST UNION IT'S JUST UNION IT'S JUST UNION!!!! OR MEANS UNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

the explanation they're looking for is $|R \cap F| = 6$, and thus $|R \cup F| = |R| + |F| - |R \cap F| = 26+12-6$

warm shaleBOT
royal basin
#

$R \cap F = {\heartsuit K, \heartsuit Q, \heartsuit J, \diamondsuit K, \diamondsuit Q, \diamondsuit J}$ if you want to be extra explicit

warm shaleBOT
royal basin
#

years of practice.

#

the point could've been gotten to faster.

#

it's a tricky question.

#

would not describe it as a trick question as such.

#

but given that you've specifically said you have never done proofs before in your life i think you'll have a hard time justifying why you have not missed any possibilities if you find any.

#

perhaps it would.

#

i would ask you to check for yourself but i doubt whether that'll go anywhere.

#

does it?

#

what are |A| and |C| in your example?

#

when A = B = C = {1,2}, that is

#

and what is {2, |A|, |C|}?

#

no

#

notation matters, sushi

#

as does reading comprehension

#

also x ≠ {x}

#

what's lowercase b?

#

so... you conclude from this that your example works?

#

you said B={1,2} but then when i asked you what {2,|A|,|C|} was you said {2}

#

.

#

"will work" is a property of a TRIO of sets (A,B,C) not of any individual set

#

yes, this one does work.

#

don't thank me for having yelled at and demeaned you for like an hour straight lmao

#

also we didn't even solve the problem, because we have not yet found ALL trios of sets (A,B,C) which satisfy the conditions of the problem.

#

i am however not looking forward to taking you through the somewhat grueling case work..

#

plus it would be a proof and you're allergic to those so

#

we could leave the problem unsolved yes

The total of 3 numbers is 82, the numbers are x,y,z
if x : y = 2 : 3 and y : z = 4 : 7, find the xyz

do you know how to rearrange @timid silo

timid silo
#

the first equation wait

timid silo

#

I suggest you search up how to deal with fractions

#

it's very basic math

timid silo
#
  1. x+y+z = 82
  2. x/y = 2/3
  3. y/z = 4/7

ys

#

i think i can solve it with this

#

hold on

#

the y=24

#

well

#

i found the answer as 16128

#

something is definetily wrong

#

8/12y + 12/12y + 21/12y = 82
41/12y = 82
y = 24

#

if x = 2/3y then x = 2/3 * 24 or 16

#

is that false?

#

@somber mural

Hi guys !
CONTEXT :
I need to find solutions for a point in space that is on three spheres. This should output two solutions as three spheres that intersect have two common points. This is a practical problem where you can consider that the two spheres always have a circle in common (they are not far apart from each other or inside each other or with a single point in common like just touching).
MATHS :
I have three points p1, p2, p3 and three distances d1, d2, d3. How do I find the coordinates for the two points A and B that are a distance d1 to p1, a distance d2 to p2 and a distance d3 to p3 ?

I get these 3 formulas :

(x - p1.x)² + (y - p1.y)² + (z - p1.z)² = d1²
(x - p2.x)² + (y - p2.y)² + (z - p2.z)² = d2²
(x - p3.x)² + (y - p3.y)² + (z - p3.z)² = d3²

But where do I go from there ? I could develop the powers but then I get some unknowns squared which I've never dealt with before in this kind of situation

try looking at the plane spanned by p1, p2 and p3; the two points of intersection will lie along the line normal to that plane and passing through the circumcenter of the triangle p1p2p3

so basically.. sin is the ratio of hypotenuse to the opposite

#

oh

proven zephyr
#

if you're trying to find the opposite side, use sin

#

if you're trying to find the adjacent side, use cos

ohh

if have the hypotenuse*

#

just remember

oh yea , is there another topic i can ask about ?

proven zephyr

for example 5(m+y) = 4(m-3y) , how do i make m the subject?

what do you mean by making m the subject

#

make m the subject of the formulae

proven zephyr
#

is y a variable or coordinate

turbid hamlet
#

variable

proven zephyr
#

oh ok i think i get it

turbid hamlet
#

okayy

proven zephyr
#

5m + 5y = 4m - 12y

#

subtract 4m from both sides

turbid hamlet
#

thats the expanded right?

proven zephyr
#

yes

#

m + 5y = -12y

#

subtract 5y from both sides

#

m = -17y

#

like this?

#

ohh

#

OH

Doesn't matter, If $-1<x<0$, then $0<1+x<1$.
Also, $x^2 + x^3 = x^2 (1+x)$.
$x^2 >0$, $0<1+x \Rightarrow x^2 + x^3 > 0$.
Continuing this process, $\dfrac{1}{1-x} > 0$.

Note that the geometric series $\dfrac{1}{1-x} = \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} x^k$ (The ans. is the last one) has radius of convergence of $x \in (-1, 1)$.

because of the c1 and c2

warm canopy
#

they are constants

#

you can "leave them alone" when differentiating

sour peak
#

really and just add them back at the end?

warm canopy
#

d/dx(c*f(x)) = c*d/dx(f(x))

sour peak
#

since i found c1 earlier, would i plug c1 in then derive

#

so 0.10e^-2sqrt(5)t + c2te^-2sqrt(5)t

warm canopy
#

sure, makes no difference

#

you can leave it as c1 and put it in at the end if you want

sour peak
#

so for the right side essentially

#

just deriving

#

te^-2sqrt(5)t

solar trellis
#

Differentiate not derive

I'm currently writing a program to change the brightness of my laptop screen and I don't want it do do it linearly, so I would like to be able to provide profiles that contain brightness curves.

I'm looking for a parametric function over [0, 1] who's parameter(s) let me determine it's shape to look like/similar to the functions in my example.
I know that I could use exactly what I have in my example (excluding the circle segment)

fn curve(x, a) -> f32 {
    match a {
        ..1 => {
            1 - (1-x).pow(1/a)
        },
        1.. => {
            x.pow(a)
        },
        
    }
}

However I don't feel that this is flexible enough as it doesn't allow for a circle segment for example.

heady coral
#

@restive ridge don't tell them this isn't valid rust anymore 🕵️

#

I came up with a few more functions but those aren't nearly as flexible as the result I got above, so they are out.

#

<@&286206848099549185>

#

Is this question too advanced?

restive ridge
#

no idea what you're trying to do

heady coral
#

plug
$1-\left(1-x\right)^{\frac{1}{b}}$
and
$x^{b}$
into desmos and play with the slider for b between 1 and 10

warm shaleBOT
tardy epoch
heady coral
#

Because my math terms are rusty. But I can try.

#

I want a parametric function with these properties:

#
- f(0) = 0
- f(1) = 1
- f'(x) != 0 for x in (0,1)
- f(x) monotonously increasing for x in (0,1)
- f'(x) monotonous increasing for x in (0,1)
- f''(x) != 0 for x in (0,1) (unsure on this one)
#

I want the parameters of the parametric function to change the shape of the graph but keep those properties.

tardy epoch
#

f(x) = x^3 satisfies all of these

heady coral
#

It's not parametric

tardy epoch
#

(x^2 + x^3)/2 works oto

#

make it parametric then

heady coral
#

$f_a(x)$

warm shaleBOT
tardy epoch
#

what you described isn't parametric either

heady coral
#

Where?

heady coral
#

Can you help me specify even more what I'm looking for?

tardy epoch
#

$f_a(x) = x^{3/a}$ also works for $a > 0$

warm shaleBOT
#

riemann

heady coral
#

This was my use case

#

I want it to be very flexible.

heady coral
tardy epoch
#

$f_a(x) = x^{a/3}$ also works for $a > 0$

heady coral
#

Do you get what I'm trying to achieve?

tardy epoch
#

no because you're being descriptive in your asks

#

"provide profiles that contain brightness curves" is essentially meaningless

heady coral
#

It conveighs intent

timid silo
#

maybe it would help if you could draw some profiles and say that the family of curves has to include something that looks like them

tardy epoch
heady coral
#

That's why I'm here!!
If I knew exactly how to phrase my problem completely in a mathematical way I'd have a much easier time solving it myself

heady coral
#

with P_0 = (0,0) and P_1 = (1,1) and P_3 = (1,0)

tardy epoch
#

you have to give it points to interpolate

#

then just use that

heady coral
#

Ah

#

So I want a quadratic bezier curve with P_0 = (0, 0), P_1 = (1, 1) and P_3 = (a, b) with a and b in [0, 1]?

heady coral
tardy epoch
#

just generate it and plot it and see

heady coral
#

This is the most eccentric curve I can make with a Quadratic Bezier Curve

timid silo
#

are you like looking for a family of curves that limit to a right angle?

heady coral
#

If you mean the green curve then yes. My curve can't go beyond that

timid silo
#

but do you want it to get to that?

heady coral
#

That would be great.

timid silo
#

x^a works ._.

heady coral
#

But only if I can have everything in between the blue and the green curve in that image aswell

timid silo
#

well a can be irrational and very big...

timid silo
heady coral
#

I could not fit x^a to the blue curve in my image

#

What would that achieve?

timid silo
#

it would make it limit to the right angle

heady coral
#

Not in a nicely uniform way.

#

If I just wanted to limit it to the right angle I could make it piecewise

timid silo
#

so you want it symmetric along the diagonal too?

heady coral
#

as well as not symmetric to the diagonal between (1,0) and (0,1)

#

both

timid silo
#

huh

heady coral
#

Depending on a parameter

timid silo
#

one parameter?

heady coral
#

any number of parameters

timid silo
#

oh ok

heady coral
#

Let's say a reasonable amount of parameters to deal with programatically.

#

This server doesn't get a lot of real world questions, right?

#

I can tell from @tardy epoch's confusion about my question especially.

#

I'm sorry I can't phrase it better, that's why I gave the use case for the parametric function I'm looking for.

timid silo
#

most of us arent engineers unfortunately

heady coral
#

i get that

timid silo
#

if you have a bunch of potential curves you like but there's something wrong with them, you could multiply them all together with different parameters so that you can adjust each thing seperately

heady coral
#

That's an idea that I haven't thought about

#

mmmmmh.
If I multiply two functions that mirror each other between the (1,0), (0,1) diagonal, do I get a function that is symmetric over that same diagonal?

#

If that was the case, that would basically solve my problem sufficiently

heady coral
timid silo
heady coral
#

Oh my god my intuition is right for a bunch of functions that look like that

#

I don't need it to be true for all functions. Just the one's I can try

#

Thank you so much for helping me!

#

I'm 99% sure that's all that I needed

#

If I take f(x) and g(x) that are symmetric between that diagonal I can attatch weights to them and multiply them together

#

the flexibility of that resulting function is just huge

#

I call

I asked here because it doesn't actually involve any uni level maths

heady coral
# tardy epoch

I don't think my question is outside the realm of what a last year highschool teacher could give his students as homework

#

That's the way I read it,
homework-type

tardy epoch
#

your problem using high school math does not equate to you being able to explain it at that level.

heady coral
#

The teacher would just know better how to phrase the problem.

#

Exactly

tardy epoch
#

it takes effort to properly curate math problems

heady coral
#

here, you mean?

#

This would honestly have been a fun high school assignment if it was worded well.

#

i already got the horizontal asymptote but im not so sure about the intersection question ;-;

main cedar
#

plug in x=0 then y=0

#

one of them will have a solution

grand carbon
#

OHH ok let me try that

#

i'm confused so it doesn't have an intersection?

zenith raft
#

what if you let y = 0 and solve for x?

#

just from looking at it, there are values of $x$ that make $\frac{\ln(x-2)^2}{e^{x^2}}$ equal to 0 because that will happen whenever the numerator, $\ln(x-2)^2$, is 0, which is when $(x-2)^2 = 1$

warm shaleBOT
#

Spring

zenith raft
#

and you don't need to worry about 0s in the denominator cus e^(x^2) is positive for any x

#

@grand carbon

obtuse pebbleBOT
#

@grand carbon Has your question been resolved?

zenith raft

#

ok i’ll try that!

i solved for x and i got x = 3, 1

plush vapor
#

im doing my practice exam and these r the 3 questions im stuck on

plush vapor
#

theres an answer key for them but the process to get the solutions is what im stuck on,

fierce lagoon
#

Okay, so the first one

#

You wanna use the expanded form, then condense

#

I'll highlight the roots

#

Gimmie a sec

plush vapor
#

alright no worries

fierce lagoon
#

I also wanna test this thing so

plush vapor
fierce lagoon
#

$$(x-{\color{lime}{(1+\sqrt{11})}})(x-{\color{magenta}{(1-\sqrt{11})}})$$

#

Hope this works

plush vapor
#

oh ok i was inputting it wrong

fierce lagoon
#

Oh wait hold on

warm shaleBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

fierce lagoon
#

Sorry I had to fix it @plush vapor

plush vapor
#

oh alr

#

where do i go from there

fierce lagoon
#

Well you just expand it

tardy epoch
fierce lagoon
#

Wait hold on I just realized something

#

@plush vapor there might be an easier way

plush vapor
#

show me if u think there is

fierce lagoon
#

So what if I rewrote the roots as $$\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{11}}{2}$$

warm shaleBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

fierce lagoon
#

Then if you compare that to your quadratic formula

#

$$-b = 2$$
$$2a = 2$$
$$b^2-4ac = 44$$

warm shaleBOT
#

Umbraleviathan

fierce lagoon
#

I'm assuming your teacher wants it in standard form correct

plush vapor
#

yeah

fierce lagoon
#

Then yeah

#

So you know what I'd do right

plush vapor
#

yeah put that into the quadratic formula?

fierce lagoon
#

Well I just turned the roots into the result of a quadratic formula

#

I "unsimplified it"

#

So what would a and b be?

plush vapor
#

2

fierce lagoon
plush vapor
#

1

fierce lagoon
#

What would b be?

plush vapor
#

if -b = 2, b = -2?

fierce lagoon
#

Yeah

plush vapor
#

oh ok

fierce lagoon
#

So now what would c be?
